[Captivate General] t3hmuffinman:
I had this problem once when I first got my captivate, but then it went to normal (lose ~5% overnight). Overnight I keep wifi connected and airplane mode off. I was happy, lasted 10-15 hours daytime depending on how heavy I used it, etc.

I recently ordered a two spare batteries with an extra micro usb cord as well as an external battery charger (charges batteries while not inside the captivate). I use the new microusb cord to charge sometimes too because for some reason it doesn't work with PC to connect micro sd card, and I charge my batteries mostly using the external charger.

I recently started losing 30+% overnight. I don't know when exactly (if it were apps or the new batteries, but it happens with my old battery and the new ones). I installed spareparts and battery history and tried turning off background data but I still lose this much overnight. I don't really know how to read spareparts to try to isolate an app. My daytime battery life is not drastically lower than before (10+ hours), but I think it is a bit lower than before. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

tl;dr:

- used to lose <5% battery overnight

- got new batteries, now use external charger

- suddenly started losing 30%+ overnight, don't know why

- help please! :confused:

thanks!
[Captivate General] nybmx:
I personally lose more than that overnight when I have wifi enabled. However when I have it off I lose less than 5%. So I guess I'm in the opposite situation as you.

Since you already have spare parts installed and used to have better life the only thing I can suggest is recalibrating http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765656. Sorry if you have already done this before. It's just that when you pull the battery and switch it I'm assuming the battery stats file may not adjust accordingly. It's worth a shot.
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
I seem to be having the same issues as you. I made a thread over at the Q&A section which may be of some help.

As for losing more than 30%-40% overnight with wifi enabled, there has got to be some lingering issue on your phone if it is losing that much. I don't think any phone, no matter how bad the battery life it has, should lose that much overnight, granted that you don't have a TON of data intensive activities running on your phone.
[Captivate General] spoonerdee:
30-40% WOW!

I get 36-48 hours in between charges on my phone.

Wifi is always on, sync is always on, no live wallpaper, weather and email updates every hour. I'm not on it every minute of every day but enough use for sure.

over night I lose about 5% on average.

Calibrate your battery...but you can't change batteries or you need to calibrate all over again.

[Captivate General] Enhanced:
As I posted in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829285, I did a factory reset and my phone seemed to be working fine as it slept when the screen was off (checked by using *#*#4696#*#*). It was good until approximately 50% when all of a sudden I checked and it wasn't sleeping once again. Checking the partial wakelock "Android System" was taking up an increasing larger amount of this section. I didn't do anything on my phone as I was sleeping and periodically, when I'd wake up, I'd check on my phone status. When I reboot the phone once this happens, it sleeps once again.

Keep in mind, my phone is stock. Didn't install any apps or anything at all since the factory reset. Now I'm not sure if I have a defective phone. Maybe the Android OS is set up to run like this? There's no such thing as a defective OS is there? Can't be anything on my end because I didn't touch the phone nor did I install any bad apps (or any apps at all for that matter). Can it be a battery issue? I can't see how a bad battery can cause the phone not to sleep. Is there something in the Android OS that turns on automatically after a while that may be causing it?

I'll try to recalibrate my battery but I don't know how that would alter if my phone sleeps or not, but I'm willing to try. I'd rather not take this phone back and get another one as that's a hassle.
[Captivate General] fshalor:
Mine will loose 40% over an 8 hour window easy with absolutly 0 use if its near the "edge" of either wifi coverage or data coverage.

IE, sit the phone down with a weak att signal and walk away. It'll die on its own unless you airplane mode it within half a day.

I have to religiously turn the phone on airplane and switch to wireless at home, and turn to airplane and turn wireless off at work (can't connect to work VPN with 2.1 !)

If I leave it on full in either location, it's bloody dead next time I touch it.

However, with good home wifi, I can actually get 4 days of email checking, use as alarm clocks, some other sms stuff without plugging in.

This things is helaciously sensitive to wonky radio connections.
[Captivate General] t3hmuffinman:
hmmm. I guess I'll try it with wifi on tonight. I don't think recalibrating would cause it to have a 10x difference in idle battery usage, but I'll try that if all else fails
[Captivate General] mgerbasio:
I use Setting Profiles app and have it set wireless to Airplane mode from midnight to 6am. Still, I'm finding my battery down by 30-50% at night.

Looking at Battery Usage, my Display, Cell Standby and Phone Idle we all using the majority of the battery power. I'm not sure if these numbers are reset after the phone comes off the charger or how it is calculated.
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
I just turned off wifi altogether and have seen huge improvements. I don't even use it anymore despite being in my house with a wireless connection. Data usage isn't that much slower so not much of a loss. At least it can sleep.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i only get like 24 hours on my phone :/
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
It's not just this phone. My wife's iPhone does the same thing, as did my Q9H. The constant switching from 3G to Edge will kill a battery.
[Captivate General] ranger61878:
24 hours is normal.

[Captivate General] t3hmuffinman:
I turned off wifi and have seen an improvement. It's still not where it was before, though - I used to lose 5-10% with wifi on. I wish I knew what happened.

If I flash a kernel to O/C my vibrant can I get a stock kernel to go back to stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
Yes. If you check the bible in the dev section there is a link to the stock kernel i believe.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d1zturbe3d:
So would I be able to flash the kernel back to stock through cw or would I have to use odin? I'm just trying to see if there is a way to go back to stock kernel without using odin.
[G2 and Desire Z General] s14mc:
so rumors of the nexus 2 are circling. i had my money on the g2 being the new dev phone. damn, maybe i should send my g2 back afterall. im impatient i want the new android asap, i hate waiting for carriers to play catch up
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I feel you. I love the G2, but after having so many android options on my HD2 I had high hopes for the G2. I guess I was wrong. I've already signed up for several overtime gigs on my days off. I should have enough for a nexus 2 whenever it launches.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ties0:
The nexus two is still a rumor, Samsung themselves said that it was not true. I would keep the g2, because even if you do not have root(for now), you probably will be one of the first handsets to have gingerbread. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] xile6:
Ill be keeping my g2 because I cant see anything being better then it. Plus I dont like samsung
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis622:
I agree. I am actually quite happy with my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
The nexus 2 does not exist nor will it ever. Cnet confirmed this in a article about samsung. So end that rumor now lol because its not true! Here is the link

http://www.cnet.com/8301-19736_1-20021338-251.html
[G2 and Desire Z General] s14mc:
i read the article, did u?

"All things considered, though, I think that the Nexus Two exists in some capacity and that it will be announced shortly"

i hope they release that the g2 will be the new dev phone. i wnt my new android asap! i hate waiting
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
Key words " I think". Samsung confirmed that they are not making it, so the likely hood that its coming from that source is very little. So yes I did read the article, problem is did you interpret it the wrong? Looks like you did....
[G2 and Desire Z General] s14mc:
"The nexus 2 does not exist nor will it ever." i duno about all that man, an im pretty sure i interpreted the article right.

he means that there will be another dev phone out very soon (maybe a nexus 2 who knows wut they will call it) and that samsung will not be making it. there needs to be one, 2.3 will support FFC and video calls. how can the nexus 1 do that?

also i think that you are not understanding what i am trying to say. the name of this thread is "i wish the g2 was the new dev phone" i had my hopes that the g2 would become the new dev phone. this way we can get the updates asap and not wait on our damn carriers to update.

i am super glad that samsung isnt making it. i hate samsung. but there will be a new dev phone out soon
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
At this point I'd pick Samsung over HTC. HTC will most likely not be an XDA's members choice of android phone in the future.
[G2 and Desire Z General] s14mc:
really? samsung over htc? i have to admit samsungs screen looks good, but the phones look cheap and feel cheap. maybe it was jus the demo phones i was messing around with

i really like my g2, i need a real keyboard. swype sucks and i have big fingers. the samsung with a real keyboard was waaay to bulky. then again its all ones opinion
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
I really like the look and feel of the g2 and all HTC phones overall, but hate how it's being locked down. I know most don't care about it being locked, but I would really like to load a different rom onto it. I'm not knocking the build quality of any G2 just the restrictions.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pierrekid:
lol regardless of whether or not the phone is a dev phone or made by htc or samsung, the g2 is still gonna get updates faster than most other phones because there is no skin ( sense, motoblur, expresso etc...) on top of it to slow down the development. Second the main reason ( not the only one) the nexus 1 got updates faster than any other phone was because it was a product sold specifically by google. So of course the phone received update faster because it was googles phone. And since google confirmed that they would NOT be making another phone to be sold and would just focus on refining android, there will not a be another so called nexus 2 or true development phone, regardless of the carrier or manufacturer. So either way your argument is pointless. Stop worrying about future updates and whether or not your phone gonna get it first and just enjoy it.

are you sure, that all of them are safe?

when someone remove all of these apps this person deleted kind of every single function of the phone and needs to install other apps for phone calls, sms and so on

Also the last time i deleted some apps with google in it ( i think it was gmail or EnhancedGoogleSearchProvider.apk) i was not able to download a app from the market it just stuck on "starting download"

Im pretty new to android so it would be cool if some experienced user could say something about that list
