Hi!

nonyhaha, I have same problem. I'll reflash phone with XXJVK again, becouse I allready applied cf-root 2.7 with cwm and now I can't change CSC. I would like just clarify, you flashed with XXJVK and then installed xwjv1 cfroot no-cwm? This work?

Regards.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
yes, and after changing csc i installed cf-root 2.7.

l.e:

so, my phone died after ~ 16 hours of almost no usage. i installed battery calibrator, the phone went off because of battery and now i am charging it in off mode. then i will start up the phone and see what appens. if the battery will drane the sam, what should i do? i now have cf-root 2.7. should i try to set up a rom wothout the cf-root?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seby79:
I have used the application last night and did exactly what the application said and this morning I started the phone. Now I waiting to see how long the battery will last.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
i booted up the phone, 4% loss in 43 minutes....

wtf?????

l.e.

1h 7m => 7% drop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ipospa:
I think It needs few cycles of charge/discharge to see how/if battery life improve. So be patient.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
the same battery life, as you can see in my other posts, i had before a fresh install of the firmware. before, i had the same xxjvk, but stock modem, kor csc(stock). and i got those pictures after ~ 1 week of using...

i really don't know how a user got 3 days almost on one charge... :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nadram:
Quick question...

How can I kill the "Rate Places" process & "Hotpot" process

- I don't want to uninstall Google Maps

- I don't want to keep my 3G off

- Killing the processes doesn't help as they just pop up again

These 2 processes are responsible for around 13 to 15% of my battery drain

It's useless!

Please help if you have any ideas

I have a rooted SGS with GB 2.3.3

Also have SGS tools installed if you think it can help
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
ok, i will try the brightness thing also.

in the meantime, let me show you something:

after charging it tonight, the result was:

the first 10% of the battery were drained without doing absolutely nothing. 3g on, data enabled.

after that 10 %, it seemed to go a little better, twice as good, but still the battery was draining too fast.

the first abrupt portion was registered while i updated dungeon defenders: frist wave and tried it for a minute, than i played ~ 1.5 hours dungeon hunter 2. you can see a little portion when it was charging, and after that i did nothing else. just 3g on, packet data on, screen off, normal phone use.

i did a total og 1 hr 5 min talk time.

as you can see, after i used those games, the battery continued to decrease dramatically. the process registered to drain it is... of course, android os :|

so it meas something gets stuck in the gpu part.

if anyone can try to use a gpu intensive app and see what happens after that... i now am running out of battery. 9 hrs 30 min.

still is there any real announcement from samsung mentioning xxjvk as an official firmware? available through kies anywhere in the world?

Weird!!!!!!!!!

It is less than a week since I have flashed my stock rom with Darky's v9.5 ROM (Kernel Voodoo). The first time after I installed a new ROM I had a day of battery life with a mid heavy usage on my phone which was acceptable for me based on my previous experince on working with my phone (never have had more than a day of battery charge on mine!!)...Then I read some documents about doing battery calibration to get more charge on your phone and I did a batterry calibration based on the guide provided with Darky himself!

After the first charge I can't get more than 6 7 hours of battery from my SGS!!!!! it's sooo weird for me cause I used to atleast 12 hours of battery life on my phone before I flash it to a new ROM!!!

I donno what's wrong with the phone, the moment I unplug it from the charger it shows 100%, after 2 mins it drops to 97 96 and after like 45 mins it drops to 60%!!!!!

Can anybody help me how to fix the problem? What's wrong with this phone!!!!!????

:mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
last evening i installed a cpu monitor and the most cpu when doing nothing, is used by com.android.providers.security

at one moment, it was using 12% while not running a thing on my phone.

now, the lowest values recorded , between 1 and 5%.

and am waiting to see how fast it will discharge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stenc55:
nonyhaha

I solved battery drain problem (sort of).

Somewhere on this forum I found that 2.3.3 is running on 1000MHz all the the time and that should be one of the reasons why battery is drained so fast, but since installed program I can't confirm it. So I found Android Control Panel and installed it. I set CPU to conservative settings and now with all off (wifi, 3g, GPS) overnight battery drain is 2%.

I played with some other settings too (don't remember which ones) but I think this is it. Regarding to my previous battery drain 30% in 5h, I could confirm improvement in 1h, becouse batt level was the same after 1h.

I still have problem when screen is on (set to auto) or wifi is on becouse I think in this case batt drain is bigger than on 2.2.1

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sarwanxp:
thanks for the usefull tips
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stenc55:
I notived when looking on battery graph that wifi is on even when system is not. How can it be? Where can I change settings so wifi will be on sleep to?

Edit: found. Stupid me.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
so, i am now sure that the gingerbread system has a very big flaw. after using gpu intensive apps, the phone continues to belive that the app is still using the cpu/gpu. i tested it today. again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
One recalibrate battery stats two its the rom not the phone change it .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] m00f:
Superpower did great things for me. Not working on miui though
[Galaxy S I9000 General] siavash8562:
Thanks for the tips jj, don't know what's wrong with the ROM because based on what I have seen in some other threads I haven't seen anyone complaining of this much battery drain on his phone with this ROM! worst complained about having just a day battery life which is still fine with me! and about the calibration, I have done it twice since then and I think that made my phone to act weird!

But last night I plugged my phone to get full charge and unplugged it at 11, data network was on for 3 hours, I played with the phone and installed some applications, then data network off till 10am, had some phone calls and played around with my phone again, now at 12:30am it's on 46% which is much better than before!!! I dunno what has happened but it seems it's getting better!

Btw, What ROM do you suggest over Darky's? cause I've found it fast and reliable for using, no lags, no issues just this battery which is not normal to me!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Cmw did not actually work deleting battery stats for me. I had to use root explorer and do it directly ... now my battery drain is AMAZING!

Charge to 100% and then delete batt stats via root explorer.

Stock XXJVK, Voodoo GB hack Kernel, JQ1 modem
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
my problem, as i see it, isn't really battery stats file, but high cpu utilization while not doing anything. last night i just reflashed the phone, xxjvk pda, oxajvk csc, xeu code, zsjpg modem. left it over night unplugged (50% battery, 5 hours of sleep) and it didnt ring in the morning. guess why... 50% in 5 hrs!

i reflashed it because i thought that the problem might come from the fact that i have aosp lockscreen and tvoff and battery mod installed. but, it semms that it is not that.

before i went to sleep, i just started dungeon hunter 2 game, it went into the main menu, then i quit it. i used a cpu oad app to be sure it wasnt draining battery after that, ant every time i lock the screen, the cpu load went from 10-15% to 40-50%.

with screen off, 3g on, data on.

so today i think i will install xwjs8.

i can hardly wait to see the official official gingerbread rom. i am one of the people that really belived that this was a real stock rom, a final one, but i don't think this can be said here.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] border43:
I recently installed Darkys ROM 9.5 on my SGS i9000M. I am lucky to get ~6 hours max battery life with moderate use. I dont think it is the ROM as no one else with the ROM is complaining about battery life.

I have tried everything I can think of including wiping battery stats and using my phone until it dies. I still can not get more than about 6 hours max.

The only apps I have recently installed that I can think that might have something to do with it is HeyTell and LiveProfile. From my research, most people are not complaining about battery life and these apps. I just want to get some input as my phone is basically unusable in this state. 6 Hours is completely inexcusable.

Thanks for any help in advance :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tonymy01:
*#*#4636#*#*, view battery history, look for apps with high cpu, high network usage, and high% of wakelocks, best to do this before charging so you can show since last charged stats.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nonyhaha:
i wrote on another topic...:

up till now i tried:

fresh install of rom - stock gingerbread, stock js8

root with cf-root, without cf-root,

log out of latitude, update maps to v5.3

disable software update, disable the app with system app remover

diffrent modems, diffrent csc,

battery stats removed - auto by cwm, manual delete the file,

"... but the memory remains ..." (Metallica)

so, every time i use gpu intensive apps - mainly dungeon hunter 2 - the battery keeps draining incredibly fast even after ending the game. it has the same slope as if i was still playing the game! and a restart does not solve the problem. for example, yesterday evening i did play it, restarted the phone 2 times, left it to charge over night, now, in the morning, the consumption is... 22% in about 2 hrs and a half. - android os is the biggest consumer

and, look at my cpu usage:

this is with no app running in the backgground, only when screen is off! when it is on, you can see the cpu usage at the end of the line.... why? why? why?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Soulbrighter:
I also experienced max 12 hours of battery life with most roms, and I even just bought a new original battery but the difference is not big.

Yesterday I reset to factory data and formatted the SD CARD. I then configured my google account and my activesynch account using push and installed nothing else. I'm running JVK with root and screen off animation.

Running like this, I am now at 62% battery left after 19 hours. Of course there are no apps installed so usage is extremely light... I'll go on like this, installing an app every charge cycle to spot the battery unfriendly ones :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndrewBurrow:
Thats interesting that you can run both your Google account and an ActiveSync account on push and get what looks like 2 days running. I am getting about 2 days with only Google account and have run several stock Froyo Roms, Darky Roms and now stock JVK and Darky JVK RC3. With every Rom (Except JVK, as I have given up trying) I get massive battery drain as soon as I set my Exchange ActiveSync account on push or schedule. If I set it back to manual the battery darin goes back to a "normal" 2 days.

I just assumed that my phone doesn't like having 2 or more push accounts running at the same time.

At present I have completely wiped the SGS and installed Darky 10 RC3. I have left all Darky Configurator settings alone and am getting just under 2 days now. Worse than Darky 9.5. I am going to drain it and recalibrate the battery but so far I am not experiencing the fantastic battery life that other seem to get on JVK. I would like to know if the people that are getting good batter life (48 hrs +) are running any email push sync and how many accounts. Also if data is on or off and auto sync is on or off.

The guy who posted a YouTube video of 5 days battery life should be captured and interrogated to see how he performed this miracle because I suspect he could be the return of the messiah. :eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Soulbrighter:
Wasn't there a bug in the 2.2.1 email client that left it almost always partial awake?

This last hour my battery graph is plunging and I didn't really change anything except location. Might even be a coverage issue... :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] seby79:
Battery Calibration

I have used once the battery calibration tool from Market and I have noticed an improvement regarding with my battery life but my question how many times is recommended to use this application without damage the battery itself? Or how often a battery calibration should be done?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] manjee:
I experience the same bug. I reinstalled a wipe rom and got back the awesome battery life of GB. For now I don't dare to play a gpu intensive game by fear of... The Return of the Bug :p

To answer another question, with exchange push and gmail, with sync on during the day and off during the night, my phone had 61% left after 24h of light use.

- 10min calls,

- 3 hours of mp 3 listening

- 45 min internet and tapatalk

- a few emails

Doc rom JVK 1.3 and Voodoo hacked kernel all ext4
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ipospa:
Battery calibrator helped me to improve battery life from 2 days to three days of standard using on JS8 ROM. I have also app "Green Power" installed, which control data on/off status.

"Battery calibrator" should be used one time as described in app, then i recommend few charge/discharge cycles from full to approx. 2 - 5 % and back to full.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nkotin44:
Hi there,

I'm on xxjvk with juwe's 3.1 rom which is stable and have very good battery usage, but a few days ago i expérienced the same battery drain as u guys ( in one night battery went from 80% to zéro and didn't wake me up )

I made few research and found that there's a known battery issue on gingerbread with the wifi sleep policy that make android os drainning ur battery without doing anything. Try to set wifi sleep policy to never and ur battery will stand for at least one day.

Btw, i use green power too, and about the wipe of battery stats, u should do it every times u flash a new rom.

Hope it'll be helpfull ( and understantible... sorry for my english guys)

Darky 9.3 Extreme

Did the CWM delete battery stats twice (2 cycles couple of days apart).

result:

with 3G ON: battery drain of 30% in 2hours :( it's disgusting.....

with 3G OFF: 4 days with one full charge.

Usage patterns identical (~2h calls)

Exchange Push

Packet Data ON (i assume this is enabling 3G/HSDPA)

Data Sync ON

Auto Sync OFF

Edit: changed Exchange push to manual and waited another hour with 3G ON: no difference in drainage.

Overall battery drain over 3 hours: over 40% when Packet Data is activated.

2.2.1 JPY modem

According to battery stats, the Email client is responsible for 91% drainage over the 3 hours.

What the hell can i do to fix this???? Damn phone doesn't even last 1 day if i use 3G and Exchange sync.

Question HD2 display

Hi, I have an interesting question about my phone (HD2) and different ROMs (one with Android and one WM 6.5 -stock rom.)

I made a test with different ROMs , brightness set to 50%, airplane mode all data off , no running apps ...

DISPLAY ON WHOLE TIME

HD2 running NAND Android 2.3 : from 100% to 0% --- lasts about 3,5 hour.

HD2 running stock WM6.5 : from 100% to 0% --- lasts about 7 hours !!

So here is my question : WHY lasts the battery twice as long on WM?

I know if it runs android that it's more power demanding but I didnt run anything, I was on airplane mode and the display consumption on Android was about 97% so why did the display sucked much more juice on android than WM?

thanks for answers

using Juwe 11 ROM 3.2 GB 2.3.2, got 3% battery drain in 11 hours:)

switched to GSM only while idle, wifi never sleep, switched off HSDPA/GPRS when not in use - this is a power saver !

Also - Weather bug desktop widget drains power - removed app.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] bashville:
I've noticed this same bug after upgrading to GB. I mostly play Dungeon Hunter 2. After playing the game my phone battery will drain with Android OS being the biggest (>70%) consumer if I don't turn it off for a few minutes and then turn it back on.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
Ok, i copied all contacts from the sim to the phone.

Then i deleted every contact on the simcard.

Restarted the phone.

The phone now drains less than 1%/hour with sync and wifi=on.

Before 2,5%/h drain.

Had not time to test it very long, i'll report back later.

You guys with idle-drain give it a try!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] thecresta:
Got almost 60 hours out of my phone earlier this week! Now its back to draining 4%+ an hour when not used.

I cant think of anything thats changed, system panel reports <1% cpu usage and 0% device usage, no rogue apps or high data usage. Nothing stands out at all.

Gutted, as it was going so well...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] archangelz:
I had excellent battery life after updating to 2.3.3. Was running at least two days battery life. Anyways, once I left the house and accidentally left my wifi on, my battery dropped 40%+ in 3 hours.

Reading the thread there are a few people who've gotten the same issue. Hopefully google puts out something to fix the wifi and software update issues we're seeing
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fresh One:
my phone drops 3% per hour but i have no idea why
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
This was not the reason :(

Still have 2,5-3% per hour drain - doing nothing, screen off.

Just cell standby.

Is this really normal?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
2,5% to 3% per hour would be 33h to 40h only for standby - i don't think, that this should be the benchmark - on the other hand, some users would be glad ;)

My advice: install some system monitoring app or look in the usage statistics (at least on gingerbread) or with some secret code to determine, what probably causes the drain. It could be one of the usual suspects (see first post or various on the board).

Kind regards,

my biggest battery eater is 'cell standby'

i have no idea what this is, but it is always top of the list, sometimes reaching 60%..

so does this mean my phone is awake even when it is asleep ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hadji1:
i v got the battery drain prob since 2.2.1 JPY...so i dont think its a Gingerbread issue..

i had darkys 9.3 with an excellent battery life (36 hours normal usage) and droped to max 8hours when os syndrome hit me...That continued on JS8 on different Roms (darkys, Jwve's)...and then i flashed stock JVB and Jwve's 4.1 with cf kernel and...thank God i can use my phone again...allthough my batt life is max 17-18 hours which is not good, but considering what happened to some of us, is at least one day life (with phone off during night)

p.s. i also bought a new battery so that 18hours life is with a brand new battery..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tomek_wap:
Same here, 2-3% per hr, which i think seems pretty normal, giving 24-33 hr of operational time (ie. normal usage).

Letting my wifi on drains much less battery when using/checking email once in a while ... maybe because it switches off 3G data transmision ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] samsungwarrior:
Removed it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] redlemon:
I'm using "Battery Monitor Widget" to keep track of the usage during the night.

Phone sleeping _without_ any Bluetooth/WiFi/GPS/Rotate/Data enabled.

In 2.2, I'm getting about 1-2% drop / 90mins est.

In 2.3, I'm getting about 2-3% drop / hour.

So is it Gingerbread that is slightly more battery consuming?:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] snapper.fishes:
Froyo was more battery demanding than eclair, so I won't be surprised if the same thing also applies to Gingerbread.

The weirdest battery problem ever

Hey guys. I am experiencing the most strange battery problem ever. I am on Darky 10 RC6 with ZSJPG modem. Now I wanted to calibrate my battery so I completely used it till it switched off, turned it on again but it switched off completely indicating that the battery was finished.

Then I plugged in the charger while the phone was off and it started charging. After 5 hours it was still not fully charged, i waited another couple of hours but still not and then when I plugged out the charger and plugged it back again it drained to around 25 % .. I switched on my phone and it shows me a different battery meter everytime I reboot or start again and its not even charging at a good speed now. Please help

Now the phone vibrates in a while by itself and everytime I reboot, I have a massive battery drain of around 10 percent and if I charge my phone it charges so slow, like 4 percent in 1 hour :s
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MissNLink:
get rid of everything and start again. make sure you have the jvb firmware installed before flashing darky's rom over the top, and also make sure you have followed the install instructions for the dark core install.

but really, i would just try the latest jvh_jv3_jpo firmware, that is g/bread it it's most basic form, and before you load it up with your apk's. Do all the battery checking, csc & modem type installs. once this is all smooth --> then think about darky's rc6 etc. but remember that rc6 still is not a final version, it's very close, but still has a few quirks. this process of elimination may help you.

good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dranzergiggs:
Should I flash the JVB through Odin? Will it wipe my data automatically and should I try recalibrating the battery after I have installed JVB?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MissNLink:
yes, flash thru odin. try to ensure the battery is full before this. i understand that this may be difficult for you though.

yes, it will wipe everything - so back up all you need to via titanium or whatever backup method you use.

if the battery was full before the odin flash, your battery will be recal'd.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dranzergiggs:
But now there is only one problem, when I plug the charger the battery starts draining or atleast shows that it is declining :s and If i unplug the charger the battery meter keeps on rising :s .. Now how can I have a 100 percent battery when its not charging correctly :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MissNLink:
in this case, i would say just flash with odin anyway. the battery can be recal'd later. having 100% before odin is preferred but not essential.

start from scratch, this is to try to iron out any probs that may have happened during the last install.

just as a thought, the charger cable has not been damaged in any way, or the connector? both of these things can be quite fragile, and may still work but with strange results if they are slightly damaged and are just hanging in there..
