Been 20mins since last unplug, haven't lost a % of battery.

Also found Skype having full sensor usage. Its signed on in background. But battery is good. Running JP6 no lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
Whether it's a placebo effect or not making us think that the Gallery sensor "issue" is causing battery drain... (I didn't test fully, just plain didn't like the usage period) here's how to replace it.

Using a root explorer:

browse to - /system/app/

And delete Gallery3D.apk(I think, or Gallery.apk)

Or take note of the apk name, so you can delete it via adb if you do not have a root explorer.

Using adb:

adb shell

su

rm -r /system/app/Gallery3D.apk[or /system/app/Gallery.apk] ( -r is mighty important )

^

type this again to ensure it's removed.

You guys can double check from the app. drawer if Gallery is removed.

REBOOT

Then go Android Market and download [ Gallery3D - Rayman50(30?) ]

It's pretty slow on load up but once it caches the images, it's pretty smooth. Have some fun effects too. Hope I helped, since no one posted a How-To. lol.

OP can copy the whole chunk and edit it on your first post so people will see ;)

Does anyone know what the process is called that does the SD-card media scanning? Because the moments Gallery becomes active sometimes seems to match that.

My JPO KIES upgraded Galaxy S shows some 9 hours of Gallery sensor usage, but I can't say that it's had much of an affect on battery life, it seems to not. I wonder if there's a reporting bug for all, and an actual usage bug for others?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fihlvein:
Just a little warning of a potential risk, but I'm not yet sure whether this is caused by SpeedMod kernel or messing with gallery. Here's what I did:

1. Renamed gallery.apk -> gallery.apk.orig

2. Renamed gallery.odex -> gallery.odex.orig

3. Cleared gallery "data" (~300kb) from manage applications

4. Rebooted

When doing this I was using LauncherPro with custom icons and dockbar.

After reboot sztupy's clockwork recovery complained that my config had changed. I chose to remove new config and use the old one. No good, reboot & force close loop. Had no other way than reinstall firmware.

Questions: what exactly the "gallery data" mean, settings configurations etc? Do you think using LP launcher with custom icons had anything to do with this, no? I don't really see how these could affect CWM recovery noticing my config file being changed. Oh well.

Just out of curiosity, those not having the issue, what Froyo version are you using?

Im debating giving JPA and JP6 a go to see if the problem still occurs. I had the problem with JPO....

I don't seem to have the problem. I am running JPA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vostradamus:
JP5 here

I can see the sensor usage in the battery statistics screen, but it does not seem to affect battery life.

Example:

- Last evening I went to bed with 26% battery

- This morning I still had the same 26% as yesterday (I auto-switch to aereo mode during the night)

- Sensor time shows 18+ hours, so it was definitely "on" during the night... but obviously did not drain anything

After uninstalling the version from the Market and putting the original back on, when viewing the downloads in the market, it still seems to think the Gallery3D is installed (the market version), you can't uninstall it and I can't seem to get rid of it. Are you seeing the same?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taomyn:
Just came across this thread and out of curiosity thought I'd checked my phone running JPO+Voodoo pre6 lagfix.

My comments are:

Confused by some people saying delete/remove gallery.apk or Gallery3D.apk - mine appears to be the latter and also appears to be the same version (according to app manager) as the one on market, so didn't bother to replace like for like. BTW - rename, don't delete just in case ;)

Did the battery check and yes it seemed to be the same use time as the time since I last ran it, but my major user seemed to be Skype at 3+ hours around the same time I unplugged. However, I'm not seeing any huge battery drain like others are reporting.

So for me there's no issue, except for Skype which I think needs reporting to them for an explanation.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
yup it's just there in the Market's Downloads. annoying lil' thing. no ill effects i'm sure.

as much as seeing a full red bar and having Gallery chomping up the most in Sensor Usage is scary, if there's no battery issues I'll definitely go back to stock Gallery.

simply because the one off the Market can be horrendously slow at times.

Is there no real alternative to the Gallery3D viewer? nothing like the HTC Album? Has anyone actually pulled the Album app from SenseUI and get it to work on non HTC phones?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
I'm personally also using JustPictures! myself off the Market. doesn't seem too bad.

of course, it's nothing like Gallery3D.

e: people who are polling. please make sure that you have concrete evidence that the sensor issue is ACTUALLY causing your battery to be worse. we're running a serious business here! i've rerolled to JPO's stock gallery myself to test things out.

Ive definitely got the issue. JPO, factory reset and things installed from fresh. Had my work email setup (30min poll) along with Hotmail (also 30min) and barely toughing the handset it went down to a ridiculous 48% after sitting there for 6 hours!

Incidentally I flashed back to JM1 today, installed the same apps, emails the same etc. Been running additional apps too. 8am taken of charge at 96%, 8pm now at 61%. Been using the phone for texts, calls and silly apps!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aditya104:
The time is close to the time I last used Gallery but it hasn't drained my battery unnecessarily. People are voting yes only because they see Gallery using sensor for a long time even if it hasn't been draining battery. If its not an issue and people start complaining to Samsung abt it, then it could delay Gingerbread:D

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skifaster007:
New to this game so please be gentle.

Followed instructions as listed in this thread. Here are my experiences

note newbies - lets make this simple - you need to download 'root explorer' from market for £2.50. Follow the instructions from this thread above using 'root explorer' - you may find you get a message saying the app is right protected - click the " mount R/W button at the top of the screen. Make a back up first. read the whole thread first.

I then browsed this thread and googled for a replacement. An excellent one seems to be Justpictures! Initial impression of this app is great - nice and simple. But a good set of preferences to change if you wish. Also loaded quickly and had a very fast full screen image scrolling using a swipe motion.

Please understand - there are some very experienced folks on this forum who any new user should read and learn from. This is just a new users take on it.

On DXJPA, reported sensor usage for Gallery keeps climbing but little if no effect on actual standby battery usage. Still drops by 1% very few hours, with sync off.

Another method is to do it by the terminal. get the terminal emulator and type these commands.

Okay.. So this is what I tried.

Go to ADB Shell and type the Following:

su

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

rm /system/app/Gallery3D.apk

busybox mount -o ro,remount /system

Make sure that your phone is rooted and you have the Super User Installed. Once you have executed the commands, use

ADB Reboot.

The phone should reboot. Check the App Drawer. Gallery should be missing now.

Go to Market and Search for Gallery 3D. Install it.

So far, after installing the Gallery from the Market, I haven't noticed any much battery drain. It only shows the time that I have been using the gallery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juamiso:
Battery drainage is gone, but so it is quality colors

Hello Community,

I have had Doc's ROM (7.6) for almost a month, really happy but two things were disturbing. One is that I had several copies of the same image sometimes on the gallery (solved deleting some folders in /sdcard/android/com.coliris...).

The other was the battery going down even in flight mode for apparently no reason. "yamaha sensor...blabla". Following instructions from XDA I have changed the Gallery3D with the version posted here, and now the battery bug is gone. however, a new one appeared.

I have double checked and for me it is definitely there (also when using the Gallery3D version that SGSTools installs). If you zoom in a picture with a little details and the same color (blue sky, for example) you will see a noticeable less quality with the new Gallery3D(the battery-bugless). I think the Samsung original Gallery3D had 32bit colors, while this one has 16bit.

Can anybody confirm this? I have made snapshots and could upload them for proof.

Any dev. uploading the Gallery3d from Gingerbread? Would be cool!

Cheers,

Jm

Thanks, it works fine for my SGS. Bye gallery bug.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverstorm:
Has anyone considered that the 2.2.1 Gallery3D.apk that comes with a stock ROM such as JPY is actually designed like this and it isn't actually a bug?

I must admit even I got sweeped up in the 'sensor bug' frenzy and was convinced the new gallery was affecting my battery life, so 'downgraded' to the 2.1 Gallery3D.apk which is more or less the app floating around that does not exhibit the long sensor usage in the battery stats menu.

But after using the old Gallery for about a month, I got annoyed with how slow it was to load as well as browsing images, and started missing the new one which was blazing fast, and had many improvements including:

- Orders most recent images at the beginning, so you can find the shot you just took more easily

- Better pinch to zoom control

- Swiping from full screen image to the next is much faster, smoother and complete. The old one swipes to the next image, sometimes showing you an low-res version while it catches up, or just shows the mid seciton of the image, and then the top and bottom fade in eventually.

- Images look smoother with less banding artefacts

- The 2.2.1 gallery allows the ability to set a separate lockscreen and homescreen wallpaper. AND you can set a static wallpaper for your homescreen that doesn't shift slightly when you move across screens. You lose all this when you 'fix' your phone by replacing it with the old Gallery app.

So I decided to switch back to original 2.2.1 app and have been using it for a day. Yes, when I go into battery stats I see the Gallery is using the sensor since I last started it BUT it doesn't seem to have affected or degraded my battery life from when I had the old 'fixed' Gallery app. Also note that both Gallery apps (the old and new) will always show under 'Running Apps' when you go to 'Applications>Manage Applications' so both run in the background but do not neccessarily use battery. Maybe the fact the new app uses the Sensor in the background is the reason why it's faster perhaps?

So I think I'll stick to the new Gallery for now, after all whats the point upgrading to 2.2.1 and using Eclair apps with less features?

Just curious how data heavy WP7 is. Anyone checked their usage? I realize we can't see a solid month yet, but at the least we might be able to see some trends :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
TMoUS doesn't make this easy to determine, they give you all your data sessions, you'd have to add them all up to find out it seems. Their own total says 0 :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
It's extremely data heavy if you're a Zune Pass subscriber, and stream lots of music.

Not really compatible with AT&T's new 2GB data plans, IMO, and even a 5GB cap is cutting it close if you listen to a lot of music - prolly won't even be enough for many people.

If they thought the iPhone was taxing their network, just wait until they have lots of people on their phones streaming Zune Pass music, in Addition to all the iPhone/iPad users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
I do most of my data consumption over wifi, but I don't try to slow it down when on-network, though the connection speed usually drops (except when I'm in ATL or Charlotte)
[Windows Phone 7 General] alan7467:

155.7986 MB Since 11/4 WP7 Dev device & HD7

I've been on WP7 exclusively since 10/8 or 10/15.

259.1950 MB 8/28-9/27 HD2
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
ckacey: You simply don't use your phone that much as far as data goes. Do you even have Zune Pass?

When I was on AT&T I had a Samsung Jack to start, and I'd do solidly above 300MB on that phone. keep in mine, I had 0 (zilch, none) AT&T reception at my house, so all my data usage was outside the house - about 15 miles away is when I'd get any AT&T 3G coverage. I switch to an Aria (well they upgraded me for free because of my reception issues... not that it made a difference...) and my data usage went up above 500MB a month - likely due to the better YouTube Player application and a better web browser, in addition to more services integrated with the phone (Facebook, Twitter, FourSquares, etc.).

Again, with no AT&T reception anywhere near me.

With T-Mobile I dont' get any 3G here (but I can at least make calls and get 'G' reception) and I do over a Gig.

In a 3G area with a WP7 device I'd probably do tripple that over a month due to Zune Pass streaming and downloading.

2G is going to cut it close for a lot of people on AT&T. 5G will be enough on T-Mobile and later Sprint/Verizon for most people, but people who use the hell out of their devices as glorified Zune HDs will probably run into trouble especially when you couple everything else they do on the phone.

Especially those that don't spend as much time in front of a computer like me.

WiFi isn't everywhere (maybe for some people, but not for a majority of us) and in many cases the 3G connection is faster than what you'd get off WiFi (i.e. using a Vibrant or 3G WP7 device in an HSPA+ market will often net you faster speeds unless you have getting WiFi off a Fibre or very high speed connection).

Each song you stream off Zune Pass is probably about 4-5MB data, accounting for perhaps a lower streaming bitrate since I see most of the ones I downloaded are in the 5-8 MB range in size.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ckacey:
I have about 350gb of Zune pass content on my laptop. I've been a subscriber since Urge got cancelled and sold my account to Rhapsody (I can't stand Real Networks) unfortunately WiFi isn't everywhere we need it and cell coverage is less than ideal.

My phone is a satellite to my PC, I'd say it burns through about 1-3gb of non USB traffic each month. My Xbox and PC are the real hogs and I don't know how people put up with a capped home connection.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
I've used 55.58MB of data so far (had it since it launched). That's only because I have wifi almost everywhere I go (home, work, school). I love the turn of data button :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] zulu208:

[Windows Phone 7 General] alan7467:
This is all great info. Thanks so much to everyone that's replied thus far.

With my Sprint Palm Pre I find that I burn through 1-1.5GB per month. Mostly from streaming podcasts and web surfing when away from home.

WP7 could be a totally different animal for me though. I have a Zune HD and Zune Pass. I've long loved the idea of having a Zune phone and the possibility of having access to the Marketplace anywhere I go. I spent some time with a Samsung Focus at an AT&T store this week and loved it. However, the 2GB cap on their new tiered plan is of major concern to me. I don't like the idea of having to be conservative with my data usage :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yep, so you usage patterns may be more similar to mine, because with my Vibrant I get around a Gig and if I actually got 3G here I'd probably be around 1.5-2G a month.

Yea, I think I'm going to have to get a Zune HD. My Android phone just doesn't cut it as a media device (it's downright f'ing terrible, to put it nicely) and I need something to put my media on. The HD2 is too damn big to carry around as a second media device and WM6.5 is clunky as hell to use for that purpose.

Unless I can sell both, in which case I'd just get an HD7.
