[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] RapidGunner:
Hey guys.. I'm new here and I plan to stick around.. ;)

I just bought a used (for 1 year) Galaxy SL from my friend at a throwaway price. It's in superb condition and everything. Its been a few days, and here's the stuff I've done till now -

1. Immediately upgraded to DDLF2 (India) using Kies. Found some bugs after upgrade. For example, the promised "Video Snapshot" feature wasn't there. Also, the phone rebooted randomly many times in the day and battery ran out quickly (after about 3-4 hrs of moderate usage)

2. Next day, after noticing the weirdness, I decided to flash a custom rom. I heard from many, many sources that Frankenstain Mod and the Bam kernel, along with DDLF2, are the perfect combination for stable performance, nice looks and great battery life. So, following some instructions, I rooted my phone and flashed the rom and kernel. I was (am) REALLY impressed with the final result. I went ahead and installed apps, played games, showed off etc etc.. :cool:

But sadly, the battery problem still remains. Of course, it has definitely improved a little, but the maximum it can stand till now is abt 6 hours (light-moderate use). Adding to the misery, I am a heavy user. I love playing games, composing music and sometimes doing homework in my phone. I installed JuiceDefender, SetCPU, Battery Saver Pro (which helped in increasing abt an hour). I listened to almost any piece of advice I got. I read through these forums too. :p

My previous phone running bada OS (Samsung Wave 525) had awesome battery life, which lasted for 2-3 days of HEAVY usage. Of course, I can't expect the same from an Android device, but seriously, is it this bad? And why is this happening? Is it because of -

1. The mod/kernel?

2. Worn-out battery? (i doubt it, every app states that the battery is "healthy")

3. Some internal problem in the phone?

Or is this just something every owner of this phone faces?

Sorry for the long post. Help is greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wrishaba:
Iam on ddlf2

1. Its not the mod /kernel. Since I use the XDA-Bam kernel 15 cr5. So far no issues and the battery lasts at least full day. with heavy usage.

2. May be. Even I doubt it.

3. Not sure with the internal problem, but i doubt that there wont be any internal problem as well since you are using heavy applications

with out any lag.

suggestion

1. Do battery calibration

2. Recharge full until you get 100%

3. Clear the battery stats with cwm

4 again drain the battery completely.

5. Recharge it full to 100%

see if it works for you

Press thanks if it helps you
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] RapidGunner:
I have calibrated my battery already. It had helped in solving a major problem (wrong display of battery stats). But battery life hasn't been improved in any way.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loneagl:
Perhaps your battery's dead.try usb port charging.

As a side note, my battery lasts Atleast two days on Frank mod after moderate use.

Since you seem new to android,http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=32235503
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
Yes, it's like that. Most people say "heavy usage", but they don't imagine that people actually use their phone all the time. I'm always streaming music via 3G, reading news articles, auto-sync on 24/7, social-networking, and sometimes playing games. My phone doesn't make it through the day.

People that claim that their phones are lasting 2-3 days usually don't have a data plan, don't use wifi that much, don't play games, and don't use facebook. That's great for them, but I like to use my phone, and when you're making the most out of your Android, it'll run out of juice in 6 hours.

All Android phone are like this. If you're going to use a smartphone, you're going to have to have a charger nearby all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] RapidGunner:
Well said man. Nice to see people admitting android being backward in the battery department. I guess battery technology hasn't advanced much yet, compared to smartphones themselves. Manufacturers have to choose between a thin, sleek design with abysmal battery and a "fat" one with more reliability. I guess they prefer the former, which is leading to problems like this...

And yeah, regarding usb charging, i've seen that it doesn't charge as fast as normal wall charging... Is it normal too?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] samisax:
Yes, that's normal. The voltage is about have as much, so it takes about twice as long to charge via USB cable.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
as in my opinion, everything is right with your battery.

u are using ur phone fully, so don't expect to much.

try the better battery stat app, it will show real stones in juice eaters.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
I switched from CM9 to GB (Frank mod) mainly due to battery drain. But did not make a difference. However if i keep data off, battery lasts much longer, otherwise it drains around 30% at night. I am pretty sure XXKPQ was much better but don't want to go back. Anyone have other suggestions.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
cm9 is not a solution either.

best way is to switch to ddlf2 or xwlf2, bam kernel last version. imo, of course.

and main thing - try to find biggest eater. betterbatterystats will help you.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Frank mod is ddlf2. But still there is battery drain.

Can you offer any advice based on the attached screenshots

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] cukierkas:
here is the answer. lookout antivirus. it keeps your device alive instead of sleeping properly. you really need it?

magic locker is not a friend either. try to disable them first, make some discharge cycles without them and post the screens with screen time as well.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] nandujanuary02:
different problem

i dont have drainage problem...bt my phone takes a loooooooooot of time to get charged..... i have to charge for about 6-7 hours for the battery to fully charged frm 10%... i did not have this problem befor i used DDLF2
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erciolino:
My suggestion: do not install antivirus apps, they drain the battery like hell! For the night battery endurance, just enable the deep sleep function (I use No frills cpu, you can enable the deep sleep from the settings menu) and set the governor and scheduler as you wish.

Battery drain is no more a problem for me since I'm on the Frank's MOD.

Remember to do a full recharge (with the device turned off) and a wipe battery stats for optimize the recharging time.

Cheers ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaweinre:
wakelocks means your phone being unable to go to sleep mode for certain periods of time (usually because of retarded apps).

Antivirus on android/linux = scam.

that 3G Watchdog crap, do you really need it? (is the battery drainage worth it?)

I would say your battery duration seems normal, considering you're actually using your phone nonstop plus there's those crap background apps running all the time.

BUT if you wanna be sure about it, why don't you make a nandroid backup (using recovery mode), then factory reset? That should get you back to a clean ROM installation, then calibraty and test your battery overnight (of course make sure your phone is going to sleep mode and is using proper cpu governor). This is the most reliable way to see if your battery drain is related to usage, or just a faulty battery. Go clean, let it sleep, see how much battery it drains.

After this, restore the nandroid backup and clean your phone accordingly (remove crap apps or whatever).

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gondya bhau:
for those on CM9, search for alpha 11 kernel in the general discussion thread...flash that over CM9 alpha 14

i get 3 days of battery on low usage......its pretty similar to ddlf2 in terms of battery drain for me atleast.....and i get ics too....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rahul_rocks3:
you can also use droidwall to block all the applications which use internet wihout any reason. they will block un-authorised access to internet and will surely cut a good volume of data usage but remember this works only if ur device is rooted

What ROM are you using?

Pressing "Thanks" button will be much appreciated if user's posts useful for you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
sometimes it's a result of bad data(didn't wipe it before new install). Or trying to tweak you rom and did it wrong. you could reflash your rom or you could backup your apps through titanium backup. do a fresh start(wipe every thing) and install apps again, and if some apps need downloaded data(games) they will download new data that are compatible with your current rom.

Press the Thanks button if i helped ;)

i dont know how to reflash my ROM. i just did some research and is that i need to install the CWM ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
if you don't know what is your current rom, i guess its stock rom. maybe there is some corrupted apps or your data maybe. try checking your memory card through pc.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Rho90:
i think so, because i didn't do any mod except root.

can i know how to check the corrupt apps ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] oOoHELAoOo:
hmmmm...

first, to know what rom you're using, go to Home>Menu>Settings>(scroll down to the bottom)>About Phone>

then you will see something like this :

and try to post here a screen shot or if you cannot provide one, just type here all the info you can see so we'll know about your phone...

then, if your case is that you're on stock rom now, i guess, either you reflash your stock rom (or try other stock roms) or if you already have there stock cwm, you can wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition then reboot, or just flash a new one (you must be rooted then just follow the steps on how to flash custom roms via cwm)

hope this helps... ^___^

[General Questions and Answers] 000Erwin000:
Hello,

I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 a few days ago.

It is the international version (i9100).

The problem is, i had it rooted and installed cm9 on it.

Then when i tried to make a backup the file was only 16 mb because the sdcard wouldn't mount in cwm recovery.

When i try to mount it manually in cwm it also gives the same error: Error mounting /sdcard!

I already tried like everything, flashing other cwm, other rom, also the original samsung firmware flashed back on gives the same error, another kernel, factory reset and cleaned the cache.

I don't know what i can do now to remount the internal sd card again.

Even when i try to format /sdcard it gives the error.

The only thing i haven't tried is re-partition but i've heard that it will brick your device since it has the bootloader in it which you will also delete.

I hope someone can get me out of this problem.

I've found a quite strange problem with my wireless lan Connection on my one x.

I'm using a dual band wireless lan Access Points with two separate ssids. SSID1 is a WPA2 protected 2,4ghz Network, SSID2 is a WPA2 protected 5ghz Network.

I connected my one x to ssid1, that worked for a few months, now connecting to that 2,4ghz Network Fails (one x tries to connect every few seconds, but it fails). Connection to SSID2 on 5ghz works without any problem.

I used android revolution, but flashed 1.29 RUU and updated to 2.17 ota, it didnt change anything. CID is 169.

Are there known Hardware Problems which cause 2,4ghz to fail or is there any setting which could cause this.

I've also seen that the three sensor keys on the bottom of the device do no longer work, no reaction and not even Background light for these 3 keys.

Any idea how i could reactivate the 2,4ghz WLAN? I don't care about the sensor keys because i don't use that one x as mobile phone, it is just a nice remote control for my xbmc mediacenter and that works over WLan.

[Asus Transformer TF700] scott.m:
Ive noticed recently that my browser and youtube apps seem to minimize and then open again. I dont see the homescreen, the app kinda shrinks like it was closed, and then expands from the top. Im really not sure what has caused this. This only started happening recently and i have no idea what could be causing it. The only thing ive installed recently was the humble bundle games.

When it reopens, it remembers what i was typing in the youtube comment, but the video is stopped and i usually need to rewatch the ad before i can skip back to the video position. Really annoying on the bigger videos.

Other problems im having is i get random lines flicker across the screen, and almost looks like its an 'extra' line that shifts the image up by one pixel to make room for it.

And then i noticed on the asus keyboard there is a spot on the spacebar that doesnt work. It makes the typing sound when clicked, but no space character is typed. Its on the far right side of the spacebar. It was extremely frustrating until i discovered why half the things i typed had no space even though i was SURE i hit the spacebar.
