Can someone that gets 4+ hours of display time on their phone give us their battery stats? I would love to try it out and i think other people would too.

Sent from my phone so I apologize for any spelling mistakes
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
reading all the above, i'm sure glad i got a stand alone battery charger

instead of charger the battery in the phone

so the phone will see the battery at 100% every time i plug in a fleshly charged battery

just a though ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tytdfn:
The thought has been processed ;)

I will posts my results when i get it in the mail
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
I got 7 hours video time on half brightness

Drain the phone, charge it up completely, delete batterystats, drain phone, charge completely

should fix it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivanchin99:
Used this fix but felt not so much difference..

So i tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=755903 and after 2 hrs from plugging off from the charger, it's still showing 100%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tytdfn:
gonna try that while i wait for the spare battery charger to arrive
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richthofen:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rakem:
Would this fix work on a galaxy S?

I have tried the removing of battery stats this morning (using the instructions in this thread) and after an hour or so of not even touching the phone my battery has dropped 10%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hcarrega:
I suggest u to charge battery normally, and what rom u are using?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathieumeuh:
ClockWorkmod

Using Clockworkmod, you can easily reset your battery stats !

You do not need to remove a system file (in my case each time I touch to system, my phone hangs at bootup)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hcarrega:
I agree
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rakem:
Define normal...?

I flashed to JM5 firmware over the weekend. However i have just noticed something..

When doing *#1234# The display does not show anything for PDA or CSC

So its

PDA:

PHONE:I9000DTJG3

CSC:

Is that normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivanchin99:
The one posted at the opening post didnt really affect my battery.. The one in Desire thread did.. but im still testing how far that goes..

Currently 18hrs in, 80% left with everything off most of the time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
This is good,isn't it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Adevem:
no such luck for me ): hopefully it'll improve after a re flash if I intend to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivanchin99:
It's great, but im still bracing for possible surprise at the end.. like low batt at 60%? :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rakem:
Dude that's pretty good. I'm getting 10 hours battery life if i'm lucky.

I just re-flashed to JM5 using all three files (CODE, CSC, MODEM)

I'm hoping this has fixed the issues otherwise i'm going back to default firmware, where i had great battery life.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RazvanG:
No, it is not normal.

Next time when you flash your phone, select all 3 files (CSC, MODEM and PDA/CODE) <not just PDA like you did last time> and tick "re-partition" in Odin3
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yamaki123:
My phone seem to have a different case: when i plug it into the charger (both usb and wall), i can see the charging symbol in the status bar; however, the phone actually does not get any energy at all. It means, after long time plug-into charger, the battery level stands still.

I just want to ask your expericences, Does this problem possibly relate to FW or Hardware (power electronic circuit) ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ranova:
how do you do it with clockworkmod?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
Reboot in clockworkmod recovery,select advanced,and then wipe batterystats.

Anyway,no luck for me,with none of the methods (but my problem is battery duration,not wrong "reading")
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rakem:
Same. My battery drains 10% an hour when i have push emailed enabled. However this never used to happen until i flashed to JM5.... Weird, and its giving the ****s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] °Dexter°:
Let's change pov,to understand if i have actual problem or it's just me expecting too much:

I plugged my phone off the charger yesterday at 4.30pm (after trying the so-far-useless desire "fix"),mid usage until 12.30am (a couple of short calls,some sms via data connection,almost an hour of wifi with a little video playback),offline mode from 12.30 to 9.10am,heavy wifi usage since then,and right now it has 37% left...is it normal? Screen brightness always set at "second step" (the first setting it takes after minimum,sliding your finger)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Depends on your definition of heavy wifi usage. Were you watching youtube videos?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xan:
My device got really ****ty battery life - I think because of constant flashing...... Anyway here are my observations:

I started flashing kernel only @ 86%

Just after reboot it jumped to 99%.

And now its draining like 1% per 15 mins of standby or 2 mins of usage T_T

4002mV and 90%.

UPDATE:

LOL! just after restart (batery taken off to inspect its nominal voltage 3,7V)

4013mV and 77% ?_?

@ what current SGS's battery should be 100%? - I've read 4.2-4.23V
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan 6a:
Can you please share your batterystats file with us?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] celeronix:
Recent tests show that this G7 battery is not 1500 mAh, it's probably around 1200 or 60% of it's capacity. Same results apply for I7500 Galaxy :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ivanchin99:
How do i do that?

It's gone now tho since I had flashed to JPC. The battery here aint as amazing as my previous JM5. :p

EDIT: Well scrap that, I applied the wifi fix for JPC by ryanza. Now the phone is 37% after 63 hours. Although I did plug in the usb to transfer file for a minute
[Galaxy S I9000 General] distortedloop:

Is it important to refresh the battery stats even after 1 flash with odin?

Tips on draining the battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pcboyy:
turn On all hardware apps.. camera, gps, gallery, screen ON.. etc... or if you have unlimited call/internet data... use them !!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlocb:
I did exactly as you said, now my battery struggles to last 5 hours, while it lasted almost 15 before this...any way to fix this? :-(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DummDiver:
Wonderfull

After flashing to JM8 my battery loses 1-2 % every hour, with no usage.

I tryed this method (fully charging, using till it's totaly dead, fully charging, wipe stats) and it seems to be working.

Thank you very much :D

(And sorry for that bad english)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nwsk:
Try charging while your phone is turned off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
What wifi fix are you referring to?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fawaad:
I did refresh the battery stats but didn't find much difference.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlocb:
Thanks for that! Tried yesterday night to charge with phone off...seems to be working fine for now! :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] g0c:
just for info: tried resetting batt stats from clockwork recovery menu but nothing really happens ... i guess it's okay.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aatifahmad:
I tried the fix exactly as has been told, but the battery drains faster and faster. On average I lost about 1% every five minutes in idle state (phone connected to 2G network, background and application sync turned off, no wifi etc). Things get even worse when push email is turned off, which is something I unfortunately need on a must basis.

Is this something with the firmware? I flashed XXJPC a couple of days back, and it seems to have worsened since then. I read some people claiming that batter life was better on one of the previous firmwares. Should I go back to Eclair, then?

On a side note, the charging via USB is so slow it's almost useless... I left my phone connected for about 8 hours via USB, and during this time it only gained 40%... any advice anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] carlocb:
Had the same exact problem!

However I was able to fix it by doing as someone else here told me: you have to completely discharge your battery, then you should charge it completely while your phone is turned off! Now my battery lasts LOTS more! :-D

Hope this helps you too! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aatifahmad:
Can you please tell what firmware are you on? I am using XXJPK. Have you applied any other mods/fixes as well?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Leandros_Ger:
Do I need the first Step? My phone was on 80% and I drained it to 2% now. Can I charge it overnight and and apply the fix tomorrow?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dandarebr:
I followed the two sugestions in this topic.

I realized that even when I charged the phone to 100% while it was on, if I connected the charger again, while it was off, it would took additional 5 minutes to get to "100%" again.

So I'm charginf the phone on, than I disconnect the charget, turn the phone off and connect the charger again. Than wait until I got 100% again. Than I turn it on and connect the charger one more time. 100%.

Only after that I did the terminal shell procedure that was listed here.

Let's see the results.

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
Hey mate. Any news on how the battery is after flashing the stats?

I am about to flash the stats in the next 30mins as soon as phone says 100% battery when turned off...

Currently battery drain on Froyo is crazy! lol

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Gugus38:
Okay thanks for the fix, but i have a problem lol

When i do the command, it says something very stupid like:

/data is a directory

/system is a directory (woot?)

Cannot remove /battery no such file or directory

Cannot remove status no such file or directory

Cannot remove .bin no such file or directory

Wtf :D

Ok tried to paste the command in the teminal and it seems to have worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jUsT2eXy:
I can confirm that my battery does not drain as fast on 2.2 ...

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toansta:
Ok so I tried the fix this morning after charging the phone overnight from 1% battery.

Can anyone tell me if it's normal to go from 100% to 85% in 2.5 hours? I have only received 2sms and the rest of the time the screen was suppose to be off.

Any suggestions please?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
this will work using any battery, right? not just Samsungs default battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rugbycaps:
No I dont think its normal. I have had the same problem too. Dont know how to deal with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcc22:
Mine drains 6% in 9 hours of full standby (JP6) and active WLAN.

Only the process and google search widgets were on.

BUT what's the point in unloading the battery completly if the next step says to charge to 100%. I know that was common for old batteries but we have this lithium ion stuff which doesn't have a "memory effect" in it. But uncharging completly causes it to lose some of it's juice ;)

To prevent this issue, I suggest to flash with 100% and charger. After the flash, when it starts booting, remove the charger.

Then Android should have proper data. Also batteries age but GS is pretty new so this shouldn't be a problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
This may have worked with other phones but on the SGS the battery stat is the usage history only and deleting it doesnt fix this issue, id say drain it down to 5% then charge the unit to 100% while its off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SKeijmel:
Does a factory reset not fix this ? and if you wanna do it this way do you have to be root ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
I dont think so as there is no real file the keeps track on the battery.. its just the voltage that is measured and that what keeps the % ticking.. notice from 100% down to about 65% the battery level drops so fast..

Anyway I still believe that a drain down to 5-10% and charge while the phone is off is the best way to "calibrate" the battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shiva_Shaan_5:
Post 2.2 upgrade the battery used to drain very fast, but after performing the steps its been 13hrs 30 mins until now and the battery shows it left with 70% of charge. Phone usage has been in total around 30 mins, rest of the time it was in standby.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
My personal benchmark for battery usage on a new firmware is to play a 2hr HD movie and I will expect no more than 25% battery drain at the end of the movie.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torres76:
This does do something as I said before I'm using a 3000mah extended battery, after the wipe of stats it went down too %85 in a short time but stayed on %76 for ages so it can't be the voltage that controlles the %. The battery actually lasted over two days with heavy usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
I think that is a bit optimistic... Most people get 20% drain per hour the screen is on, please post a picture of 8hrs screen on with stock battery
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Not possible, at 15% the brightness drops to lowest and you cant play videos.

Thats what I get on my battery 2hrs of using = 25% gone. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
The first 25% means nothing, going from 100 - 99% takes 10x as long as 99-98% e.c.t

Use rockplayer to get round the 15% limit and see how many hours you get
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wedgehog:
Is the battery stat only dependent on the current reported from the battery? Im experiencing that my battery doesnt last as much as it used to in eclair now with froyo, but on a full my battery reports 4.2 V, no reason to wipe the stats then? Or is the voltage metering recalibrated too?

screen shot attached..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] reinder_e:
Should it give any message as confirmation?

First attempt I got something like "rm failed for /data/system/batterystats.bin, No such file or directory", second attempt (after a reset) I do not get any message, third attempt again I get "rm failed for /data/system/batterystats.bin, No such file or directory".
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dhiru1602:
I think during Calibration, It matters only when the Battery power reduces after using Method described.

Suppose, if you're on 50% battery and if you use the Method described, an Increase in the battery would indicated that the 0% or 100% is misaligned cos earlier it was 50% and now since 0% has increased or 100% has decreased, it will end up showing higher value than 50% which would logically mean that the battery is showing higher, but its incorrect and will eventually drop faster.

In a similar way, if you're battery level drops at once after using the Method, it means that the Battery MAY HAVE returned to its original calibration and can accommodate more changing and hence increase the backup time.

I think this is how it is going to be. Correct me if I am wrong.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kobrien52:
I tried this earlier today, drained the battery, recharged to 100%, installed the terminal and ran the command. Battery seemed to drain even quicker than usual. :-(

As I read it I should perform this again but this time charge to 100% while the phone is off and then run the command?

Is this correct? Is there a confirmation/completion message shown once this is successful?

Thanks.

Battery stat not refreshed

I tried this exactly the same way its mentioned in the post however, the battery stats doesnt seem to be refreshed...

Onething that i noticed in Froyo. Battery gets drained quickly when making voice calls. Otherwise, display and background data ON doesnt drain the battery that bad. Im running almost to the end of second day with still 30% battery power (the right one known thro a battery meter). I had few voice calls alone but was chatting all time.

Now, coming back to the topic; Requesting one of you to please help me out to get the battery stat corrected. Please help!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Sounds like you have gallery sensor battery draining bug. Go install sgs tools latest from market then install gallery 3d update. After if that don't fix things continue with your battery calibration. Gallery bug affects all versions of froyo and custom roms unless they tell you they have fixed it with updated gallery app

i can do what i want. my batterie drains 6% per hour, just connected to the 3g network. (no mobile inet, just for telephone). Can not test 2g connection because my phone disconnects from the sell then from time-to-time. I did the battery-calibration and installed the gallery 3d update - nothing.

I used the new Darkys ROM 6.0 for 2 days now.

Does the battery-problem gets better when i use the phone longer?

i really do not know what to do (tried everything with brightness set to low etc)

in the battery-chronic under the point "networkusage" the biggest usage from "0" 2nd most usage from android system ...

I'm just curious as to why someone would want to put Ubuntu on the Evo, or any phone for that matter. I'm not saying it's a bad thing at all, i'm just curious as to why you would do that. Does it let you do extra stuff that the phone could not do with just android on it?
