[Galaxy S I9000 General] bokbacken:
Gathering the suspects

Let’s get rid of the “I think” “If you only do” and “I’ve heard that” and start arresting the suspects, line them up, and execute them (oops, did I say that out loud?), and put them in quarantine until further notice.

To keep this thread cleaner, we’ll only focus on 2.2.1 mainly XXJPU/X/Y and not bother with to old 2.2 ROMS

Let's end the guesswork and start a scientific approach on this, it’s ok to suspect something, but you must have some evidence.

We need repeatability on the problems, so if you did something that started to drain your battery, describe this in as much detail as possible so someone else can verify your findings.

I have gathered some suspects but now I need your help in Collecting Scientific Information (CSI) to round up more suspects or eliminating them so we might find the truth about the drainage problem.
