Maybe, it is 3G? For me, it could consume up to 40% per night, so I use gsm only and turning 3g on only if I need it right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
please let me know when you find a solution :)

btw do you use an external sd-card?

//edit: pls leave your phone in airplane mode over night and tell us the drain.

my phone is on a fresh rom JPY over kies and it drains 3% per hour in airplane-mode :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
That's rather strange. A fresh JPY - no apps installed (?) - 3% per hour? Have you tried it with and without additional sd-card?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pixiejoe:
u can buy extra battery pack gives double life
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
well after my last reply i have been having great battery. I don't really know what i did, reinstalling apps and enabling recommended tweaks one day at a time.

Kernel settings after i went to 9.6.6 are

All default

filesystem RFS

No Tweaks enabled

Reinstalling Facebook tonight to see if that causes battery drain tomorrow, then Tango after that then tweaks in kernel and lastly converting again to EXT4.

I'm kinda now leaning towards swype being the issue, stopping and clearing the data might have done the trick will know soon enough. Today i left wifi on all day and came home with 60% battery and that with an hours worth of gaming and 2 hours of music and some browsing.

PS i wish i would do these test faster then enabling/installing one thing at a time and testing it for a day.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
yes, tried everything :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] webwude:
Maybe try a downgrade to JPO - to see if there is any difference regarding the rom or if it is the phone itself...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
Thanks alot for your help. But my problem seems impossible to solve.

Tried JM1, JM8, JPU, JPO, JPX, JPY, Darky Rom 8-9, used my phone normally over weeks, calibrate battery etc

Nothing.

Even changing the battery, new samsung one, third party batt - nothing helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Total wipe of the phone .

Install stock Eclair rom with pit and reparation checked .

Works ok install stock Froyo .

Delete battery stats bump charge battery a few times .

Use phone for a week then if battery not die upgrade your rom as you want but read the FAQs first .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
yup found the problem its most definitely Facebook, at home and got 20% battery major difference from yesterday where i had 60% and lot of usage.

I think its not that FB is running in the background but the widget.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] duckbill22:
After having read battery related threads for the past few weeks I had resigned to the idea that 24h was going to be max usage time before recharging.

I have tried many ROMs and kernels, the best of which gave 3 -4 % drain in idle.

There are quite a number of people out there recommending a Speedmod kernel preferably with a ROMKitchen base ROM for extended battery life.

I took a bit af a trial and error approach and have found best battery life with Darky's 9.3, Curio Voodoo 2.6.32.9 and I9000UGJL2 modem in combination with Juice Defender. Battery drain is slightly less than 1% per hour in idle.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
Look at his display on time in comparison to his uptime. 53% is a lot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] habylab:
Is 5% drain overnight ok? I keep hearing 1%, but can never get close. Using tekraks with onenand and Jpy modem on v9.9. Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] susheelnamdeo:
battery life

my galaxy battery stats: overnight 2-3% (99 to 97%) ROM is Darky's 9.3, speedmod (is better than voodoo for battery life) killed all tasks, data mode deactivated.

normally 1-2% per hour in standby mode...

fast and stable, rare forcecloses.

but had to reflash/factory reset 5-6 days ago!

hope the info was useful...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
please report how you charged your phone (completely let it go off or not, charged while on/off etc) in this time and how the drain was directly after the flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torete43:
Hi guys,

Any interesting progress? I've been following this thread as I experienced a sudden battery drain for no apparent reason. I 've been reading through several similar threads but they give very basic tips, they don't go deep enough to solve the problem. It seems that really interesting findings are coming out from here.

The days after the unboxing of my Galaxy I was getting pretty good results and I even got surprised by a 1-2% overnight drain. To be honest, I never left the battery to completely discharge, but based on that results I presume it would have lasted 2 days on medium usage. But then, one day I suddenly realized a 15% or more overnight drain. I've been trying to figure out what the hell is causing the drainage since then. I've uninstalled applications, removed external sd card, kill background apps and services, etc with no success. Like some of you I'm also getting a very high display usage (95% or so) but I guess that's a Froyo faulty design.

Right now I've just removed Facebook and Tango, following jebise101 findings, and I'm fully charging the batt to test it out. My following steps will be the flight mode test and I would also like to test 2G only mode, but my ROM doesn't allow that mode, just 2G/3G Auto or 3G only. Is there any problem if I switch to 2G only from the service menu? ( EDIT: Cannot switch to 'GSM Only' even from *#*#4636*#*# menu. Selection is always inmmediately restored to GSM/WCDMA. Any workaround for this? )

Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thx!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torete43:
I think jebise101 was right. I'm about to say that the culprit is Facebook also in my case. This morning, after a full charge, I uninstalled FB, Tango and the Gingerbread Keyboard, made a services clean up (killed some of them like Swype, maps, etc) and also a background app clean up (although this is pretty useless as they always come out again quickly). Unplugged at 14:07 (2:07 pm), its 19:38 (7:38 pm) right now and still continues with 100% !!! And it seems to be like this some time longer. Oh baby yeah! I have to admit that I barely used the phone as I've been working, so it has been idle most of the time. Anyway, this situation yesterday would have lead to a 15% drop at least.

Now I wanna make sure it is FB as I find Tango and Gingerbread Keyboard a must have.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torete43:
8h overnight with 0% drop since the fix! wow! 24hours of use and still 60% (estimated) of juice. Great!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] basti107:
what fix are you talking about?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torete43:
Fix = Uninstalling FB. Finally, it has been only 34% drop in 24h (light-medium usage, and peak heave usage), so that's 66% remaining.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adewes:
In my case, Skype is the top battery drainer. With it off I have about 7% drain overnight, with it on I get about 20%.

Using Tricky's Essential rom w/ Speedmod.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tk-Glitch:
You can even force 3G only since HSDPA/HSUPA is heavy on battery, unless you need pretty fast data connection.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
You absolutely right. I do not understand people who have payed more than 300 GBP for smartphone and not using them. Especially I can`t see the point why people put the brightness on lowest position when they have got this Galaxy S because of it`s S-AMOLED, processor and RAM and Video and other many other features that this Galaxy S has? My wife has an Iphone4 and I used to tell her that Iphone is rubbish:p:p and now I am getting very frustrated:mad: when she is playing games and surfing internet with full brightness for 2-3 hours without stopping and showing me how much battery life she still got (50-60%):eek: I want to eat my Galaxy S :mad:. People, stop searching a solution for battery life of GALAXY S, it is SAMSUNG`s problem and only they are able to resolve this issue. Just use and enjoy because you have payed more than 300GBP for this GALAXY S.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] terrywongkl:
in malaysia, my experience, with wcdma on, overnight it drained 25-30%, gsm only, 6-10% (mostly chk email). figure varies which i believe is due to different signal strength from telco. hsdpa/3g signal not stable, so your phone gotta work harder, as also it may keep trying or dropping to gsm mode to try further.

btw, iphone 4 has more than 60% of its dimension of the phone as its battery, look at galaxy s ... umm..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] torete43:
I completely disagree except in one thing: iPhone is rubbish, yeah.

What we are discussing here is why do we have to resign seeing how the battery is wasted when we are NOT USING THE PHONE at all.

I do use auto brightness cause, as you said, I want to enjoy my sAMOLED screen (that's one of the main reasons I refuse cooked ROMS, they put brightness to the min). I do play games for hours and I get better battery results than that iPhone, I do listen to music and watch movies and I don't care if battery goes down. But what I really care is avoiding my batt being wasted by a dumb app while I'm asleep. Maybe this is the price we have to pay for an open OS. Everyone can develop an app, so everyone can suck your battery.

This is not a matter of being obsessed with batt stats, but a matter of efficiency. I want to use my juice when I need to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] adewes:
And how much battery left you SGS will have if you spend the same 2-3hours using your phone like your wife does with her Iphone4?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
i have FB installed and the widget is back on my phone and battery lide is a little bit lower than before but cant complain. This is after the FB update so they might have fixed it. I have yet to try Tango again but it seems alright so far i can push 2 full days with medium usage., which is better then 8ish hours i had before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
Your usage description is meaningless. How long have your screen been on? My guess is very little time (i.e you have not been using your phone). With screen on (auto-brightness), it drains somewhere betw. 18-24% per HOUR, doesnt matter what ROM/tweaks/running apps you have.

For standby (i.e. screen off) varies from 0.6 to 2% per HOUR with 3G/HSPA+background data+gmail sync, depending on how many apps running in background.

If you get long time and there is no movement in battery then your battery is out of calibration. As the saying goes you cant get something for nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
it is completely dies:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
btw, it is SAMSUNG`s fault to make a slim phone and such a rubbish battery. iphone is good enough even if not that open and user-friendly as our beloved mr. Android. Why we should buy bigger battery for our SGS`s to have at least 24 hours of heavy usage? Samsung could make the GALAXY S a bit thicker and we could have better battery, IMHO.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
Sorry, but all what you have said above and I marked as bold can`t be if you have stock 1600mAh battery in your SGS, sorry but it is a fact. I love SGS, I do think and it is better than IPHONE and others phones out there (IMHO), but the battery in SGS is rubbish and sucks. We just can`t do with it anything but to buy something like MOMAX 2700mAh or similar 3000mAh batteries.:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
How?:eek: What fix?:confused: Please, please, please.:o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alijanismayilov:
Yeah. I agree.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mars0212:
Instead of uninstalling facebook did you try simply turning off the auto refresh option from the fb menu?

If that is off, why wod it continue to use up battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] donk7413:
Buy a Mugen 3000 maH , my SGS work during 2 or 3 days ^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] uN3xp3ct3d:
I'm using Darky's ROM (10 RC3, however 9.5 is stable and still good) and battery life is much, much better than it was with stock ROM (2.1 and 2.2). My battery couldn't last even 12 hours, and now it lasts more than a day (it's pretty good as I'm using my Galaxy very, very frequently).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] transzo:
Only for u maybe !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
Yeah, I'm not really sure why so many people keep saying this. But if I barely use my phone (light texting) it lasts for max 14 hours. Regardless of ROM or modem or kernel. Of course this is with stuff installed like twitter, facebook, google talk on, liveprofile. etc.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] transzo:
Have u a transparent cable for charging ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
transparent cable? No, I have the regular micro usb cable for charging. I also use my blackberry micro usb charger too.

I've never heard of a transparent cable before.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
wow this thread is still going?

i dunno what i did but mines is fixed last a full day and i still have about 20% left after a full day of use and thats will music, gaming, facebook, surfing etc,

The only thing that is different then when i started this thread is Tango still don't have it installed and under location and security "use wireless network" and "gps" are not selected and i now always end facebook using the task manager rather than the back button.

So i would uncheck those 2 options remove Tango if you have it and clear the cache for swype and update to Doc JS5/8, i just updated to JS8 two days ago and was on JS5.

The other thing which i really don't think is the cause is i disabled lagfix so all are set to RFS. For your sake i will convert to ext4 right now and see if it has any impact on battery will report back.

Are you syncing any google/facebook accounts? coz i'm not and maybe thats why?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
Yeah i figured people who get more than 20 hours don't have any syncing going on :)

I'm happy with my 12-14 hours :) Can't complain when I have everything switched on haha
[Galaxy S I9000 General] designfears:
Tango and FancyWidget always stood out to me as heavy battery using apps. Try removing them for a day or 2 and see if your battery life improves.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jebise101:
nope cant complain ext4 had no effect. I really do think it was Tango
[Galaxy S I9000 General] quaff:
I uninstalled Tango two days ago, I seem to getting the same drain :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ambushbug:
I saw this thread and it reminded me of the battery drain problem I had with my nexus one after the gingerbread update. Many other nexus owners have/had the same problem but it didn't effect everyone so it was hard to pin down. For some users the problem went away on its own after a couple of days. Others like myself weren't so lucky.

Anyway, the fix was to set wifi sleep policy to "Never". This is counterintuitive, however it works. Battery life went from less than a day to over 2 days (better than I had with Froyo and "Never when plugged in" sleep policy).
[Android Apps and Games] GStone:
I'm looking for an app that will check my IP address, log it, and search my past logs to see if that IP has been used previously. There may not be an app like this but sounds pretty easy to make. If anybody could do this I would be glad to pay and know of a group of people who would also be glad to pay for an app to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] androidcues:
Try searching market maybe?
[Android Apps and Games] Omnichron:
IP Address Change & Log

*IP address is displayed.

*The history of IP address is preserved on the SD card.

*IP is always confirmed with the widget.

*When the widget is clicked, IP address is changed.

https://market.android.com/details?id=abc.ssd.IpAddressChangeAndLog
[Android Apps and Games] GStone:
I searched the market and downloaded like 9 different apps. Many would show me my IP, but none would log or search past IP's.

You are the man. That sounds very much like what I'm looking for. However, I can't seem to find that app in the market (or anywhere. 4shared/applanet).

EDIT: The market website says its not compatible with the SCH-i500 :(
[Android Apps and Games] GStone:
I found an app

https://market.android.com/details?id=org.movingstuff.IpTrack&feature=search_result

If that app would do 3 things it would be perfect:

1. Show the external IP in the history without clicking on each individual entry.

2. Search for repeat addresses and show a dialog box if used before.

3. A widget would be awesome!
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
In the event that others may find it useful or interesting, I’ve been trying to use my Xoom as sort of a “Home Control Unit”. The basic idea is that the Xoom would become a sort of home “companion” device. Whether it’s the living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc, the control of the homes main systems from a single consolidated handheld UI.

The first evolution was simply installing IP Cam on it to view the few network cameras that I have in and around the house…nothing kinky (front door, alley, general perimeter and points of entry stuff). Works like a champ. I have a couple of widgets on my main home screen that do not update very often (user defined) that offer one click access to real-time video streams from any of the cameras or combined/matrix view. Nothing ground-breaking, but fun to geek out over. Want to see who’s at the front door? Pick up the Xoom and see…etc.

The Xoom actually served VERY well as a camera placement tester. When I was positioning the actual cameras, I had the Xoom sitting next to them, showing the current video (allowing me to tweak angles, focus, etc).

The next step will be implementing one of the home control systems (probably a MiCasa device which handles X10, Zigby and ZWave protocols) that I would access from the Xoom. This would allow me to control everything from lights, thermostat, etc to temp and water alarms. Hopefully, it will happen sooner rather than later.

Anyway, it seemed like a pretty low-level of effort thing that others might get a kick out of...
[Xoom General] DToX69:
I'm quite interested in this :) can you detail what cameras and software you use? i've been thinking about doing something like this as well
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
Right now, all of my cameras are TrendNets, but I made the mistake of getting cams from each of their classes (SecureView and Pro). For some damn reason, the bundled software can only manage cameras in the same family. That just makes managing things like recording and desktop views etc from a PC a pain, but no real difference on the Xoom.

Each camera (as well as those of most other IP camera brands that ive looked at) has the ability to set up motion detection and subsequent recording from their respective web interfaces, so as long as you have an app that can reach into network files shares, etc, you can even pull up historical feeds. The guy that makes the IP Cam android app updates pretty often (I'd say there's been an update every 3rd or 4th time I check for updates) and maintains a seemingly long list of suppored cameras.

If the main goal is to simply view from the xoom and basic recording onto a PC, then it doesn't really matter what brand/model of network camera you get. The only trick is to make sure you know where you want to put them before you buy them .... things like indoor/outdoor, power over ethernet and pan and tilt options are usually dictated by where you want to put them and it sucks when you realize you'd rather have bought different cams.
[Xoom General] DToX69:
Ah yea i'll research a bunch of cameras before i buy any that's for sure :)

I'd like to be able to control pretty much everything in my home from a tablet, view and adjust temps, lights, view current power usage something to interface with Google PowerMeter sounds like a good idea to me
[Xoom General] gigglebox:
For the actual controlling of home systems, I've been looking at the following:

The actual control unit is the Vera. I know that theres a Vera 2 running around somewhere, but I cant find it on their site right now.

Have you tried the IP Camera App from the market? I use it on my Galaxy S paired with a wireless FOSCAM. Works great and has a 2x2 mode as well as a 3x3 mode.

Only have my camera setup for my son's room and haven't enabled access from anything outside our wireless network, so I haven't been able to see it from work, but I think it's interesting.

I've been looking at zigbee and x10 solutions as well. Not to outfit the whole house, but some exterior lighting and stereo.

hey guys, so i was playing with titanium backup and i accidentally deleted google talk, which interfered with the market, and i cant download anything from there anymore

i am running on stock 2.1 rom, but it is androoted

i tried pushing the googletalk.apk into system/apps but it wouldnt let me, it said the partition is read-only

can someone please tell me how to reinstall google talk back?

oh and apparently i dont have a recovery image because i flashed clockwork and amonra with rom manager, but now i cant get rom manager back on through the market

and i do have a nandroid backup of when my phone was normal, but i cant flash cuz i dont have a recovery image

what should i do now?

thanks a lot
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
First things first... the recovery needs to be fixed.

Dl fresh copy of chosen recovery put in proper place

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img

then get into recovery and reflash the rom you have. Don't wipe but clear dalvik/cache just reflash as long as its the same exact rom you had before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domstrong:
im running the hero on fastboot usb, and running fastboot from cmd from the folder its in, and when i type erase recovery it says "erasing 'recovery'...FAILED remote: not allow
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
did you try any other executables -- we need to confirm you have a good setup. Can you do

fastboot reboot bootloader

and if it reboots when it comes back

fastboot erase recovery

if it erases - great - if not -- keep going (pick amon-ra if you were using cwm before just for this)

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

and if it flashes... great -- if not -- Plan B

Boot into the ROM and try to reflash Clockworkmod with the ROM Manager. If that fails -- then when in the ROM - run fix_permissions and just try to get it in working order. Be careful though -

if that still fails Do you happen to have a recent nandroid? Boot all four partitions in - recovery system boot and datauser and that will give you another shot at recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidcues:
Thirdly why dont you just extract the same gapps file that you last flashed... and just restore it piece by piece. If you only dissed Gtalk then put it back where it needs to be and reboot. Thats yet another way.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domstrong:
oh nvm i fixed it, installed rom manager and a few other apks through adb install, and through terminal emulator flashed clockwork, then flashed stock ROM

thanks for all your help!
