There are 101 views for this post...even then there is not a single response to this thread..is this such a difficult query?
[Galaxy 3 General] HaWaN:
Check Contact list -> Pick some contact which has at least 1 photo inside Picassa (and You have it synced) -> go to Media tab :)
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Thanks Hawan for the reply. Do you mean to say: If I have contact X saved as Google contact and I have photo of that contact in my picasa account then this photo is shown on the media tab of contact X and can be synced between phone and web if Sync Picasa Web Album option is checked?
[Galaxy 3 General] e.savisaar:
My stock 2.1 ROM displayed my Picasa albums under "Gallery" when sync was enabled. Now i use Kyrillos's rom and miss many things (gtalk, Gallery, etc...)
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
Whenn you select the picasia album sync, allows you to view, download and upload photos to your picasia/google account, if you have pictures in picasia you can see them in the stock gallery app, go to galery and searh the album named picasia.

The prupose of sync mail accounts allows you to link your contacts with their mails and information but the only mail account that can edit contacts is google,
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Yes Giosiken. After enabling picasa album sync in my phone, I am able to view all the photos that are uploaded in my picasa account in my phone. But is there any way that I can upload the photos that are in my phone to picasa web album?
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
Well its pretty easy, go to the gallry and do a long touch over the pic or album you want to upload to select them, a menu appears, select the share option and select picasia
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
Giosiken,

That option appears even when I have not selected picasa web album sync....i want to know only the features that are enabled by selecting picasa web album sync?

One that I know is: Gallery shows picasa web album photos after selecting that option.

I just want to know photos between which sync occurs after selecting this option?
[Galaxy 3 General] Giosiken:
I dont think that more options are "unlocked" by selecting sync picasia albums, the feature allows you to explore and edit your picasia web albums directly into your phone and having linked your account to.your.phone.you can manually.upload your pics to new almbus in picasia account, the feature does not upload every photo you have in the phone. By the way why you are so interested in this?
[Galaxy 3 General] vijay.gupta:
just out of curiosity ::))

As synce always happens between two instances of the same entity, I was wondering, between which two instances of photos the sync happens if that option for sync picasa photo album is checked?
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I haven't used that sync option but from their postis it seems to me that it is completely obvious what is happening.

Battery drain in just 6hrs, 2.2.1 JPY XEU. (while idle overnight), phone was turned off in the morning from 100% before going to bed. (completly drained)

Voodoo kernal with voodoo lagfix/sound.

Ive done a full wipe and installed only the apps from the market (not installed any of my gameloft games)

Not sure yet if this has fixed it but...

Is there Any app i can use to see what the trouble is?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Constant seeking WiFi may be the problem .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Went into settings and it says scanning... Every 5-10secs or so.

And how do i fix it?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Just installed darkyys and its still scsnning even though im connected to my home wifi :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HellBoyX2:
Try the APP "Green Power" from market, it turns off wifi automatically when not in use, plus lot other power saving features.

I too have the same experience previously. now this App helps me a lot.;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I never had this constant scanning before, how do i fix it?

Flash a rom with the.3 files?

Im lost ... No idea why its doing it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kezgez:
Sorry to jump in but can you tell me where you found this, I have gone into settings wifi but cannat see it anywhere
[Galaxy S I9000 General] theduckking:
If you have disabled GPS and Bluetooth read the following, if not do so and come back^^

1. Go into battery stats and look out for anomalies

2. let your phone run out of power and shut down by itself, if the drain does not change significantly after that.

3. think about your installed apps. chat apps like skype and facebook are evil battery eating bastards.

4. check out whether your modem fits your region

5. Reflash the kernel
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zenosteam:
how to know to best modem that feet my region please ? i have have tried many of them i all work fine but how to know the best one ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jaansson:
I had sort of the same problem as well. I downloaded Android System Info and went in to tasks and killed com.seven.Z7.service, and that made it stop use my data transfer 100% of the time. Worth a shot? I think it's the SGS email client, that has been reported before as well. Weird cause I've got push email, but still...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Its definatly a wifi issue, i thought a full wipe AND and fresh rom flash would clear it - but no luck :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I just need a clue, wifi driver? Re-partition? Kernel issue?

Any developers know what could cause wifi to keep scanning when enabled?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
ive tried countless different roms and full wipes - ive heard of others having this issue on not only the galaxy s, but the galaxy tab and also HTC phones (a quick google search)

so, is this an android issue?

i refuse to believe that there isnt one developer on this forum, that doesn't know the answer and fix to this problem? :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Easy Fix... (For the SGS anyway)

Go to... Menu>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings.

Uncheck "Network Notification"

Then tap the menu button (to the left of the home button) and tap "advanced"

Select "Wi Fi sleep policy" and set it to "When screen turns off"

Your battery life will improve drastically. Just drain the battery fully, and give it a full charge.

Let me know if this helps you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Rom Kitchin build your own rom choose modem and csc .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703

XWJS8_Wipe.zip, version: v9_9_5 ROM, coupled with a hardcore kernel and a jpx modem.

Wi Fi sleep policy" and set it to "When screen turns off"

= 4% battery drain overnight .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
It still keeps scanning for networks whilst im connected to my home wifi.

I dont want the wifi to disconnect when my screen goes off, i download and dont want it.switching to my data allowance just because the screeb turned off.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kakomalo:
Unchecking Menu>Wireless and network>Wi-Fi settings.>"Network Notification"

You get no scanning for open networks so maybe you stop to scan networks while associated.

I think this is a problem with the modem.bin try to flash other one maybe JPY, JPU or JPM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Can you please check in wi-settings and see if it keeps scanning every 5 seconds when already connected to wifi.

... It may be normal behaviour, but.i doubt it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
I can confirm regular scanning when connected to Wi-Fi. I have never noticed this before. Interesting....

I am getting anywhere from 1 - 2.5 days out of my battery though.

Base ROM : XWJS8

Modem : XXJQ1

CSC : OPS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
interesting.......

how regular, 3-5 seconds or so?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Yeah, roughly 5 seconds.

Just out of curiosity.... Do you restore your apps with any backup/restore application?

Roughly, how many apps would you say you have installed?

Are you getting this battery drain with no 3rd party apps installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Fresh rom installed via kies, no apps installed.

26% batt used in 3hrs 15 minutes (better than before, but still rubbish on idle)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Metusion:
Im having exactly the same issue. I did a wipe today and installed the new darky rom and it's still there.. so weird.. Wifi uses 16% an hour on standby.. shouldn't be right
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
34% used in 4hrs on idle, and nobody seems to know why.

I used to drain 2-3% overnight (6-7hrs idle)

This is a fresh rom install via kies, so ive not a clue
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
The battery could be on it's way out.

Do you know anyone with an SGS to test another battery out?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Darkstriker:
The best diagnostic on what eats your battery I found so far is the battery use menu that comes with cm7. Install it and all your apps and check back after about 2-3 hours. That should give you a clear idea.

Btw: the updated official twitter client eats your battery for breakfast!

Other than that: watch the modem. JPY I found is great for wifi speed and general reception but is terrible for battery life in comparison.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
jPY is my official firmware, and i know already with this version what the battery life should be.

I havnt got another battery to test, hmm.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desotho:
I found JPY to be horrible for your batterylife. Try a ZSJPE or JPG modem. I found them much better.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fremen567:
Constant scaning for wifi is android feature.

This us smartphone,and if you use it as such and get one day of use ur good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Constant scaning for wifi is android feature.

Only if you want it turn it off control it if you do not need wifi scanning 24 hours a day .

jje
[Galaxy S I9000 General] msaputra:
chrisjcks I have exactly the same problem. I'm currently also on JPY, but have also tried previous modem versions with no luck. I tried with 2 batteries, but same result.

I don't know what else to try :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aayyaanna:
had the same problem with darky's rom 9.3 with voodoo kernel.(Used to completely drain in just 8hrs)

Changed it to RomKitchen and did the following

Base ROM: XWJS8(don't install all the apps install only which u want/use frequently)

Kernel:Hardcore Speedmod Kernel

1st 3 tweaks (which are recomended) are enabled

Charge to 100%>reboot recovery>wipe Battery Stats

Allow it to drain completely(Mine has just drained 13% even after 20hrs with wifi and bluetooth ON)..

Only Problem facing is the notification of battery shows full but when checked through battery stats says 87% :(

Hope this helps!!

PS: Forgot to mention .I'm using automatic task killer too.(think that it's helping too not sure)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Hmm, me too.

Ive tried many different rom/modem combinations too, still massive battery drain.

Id love for someone to find a fix, id happily even donate to a developer if he knows, as its really starting to pee me off.

Does it need sending in for repair?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Desotho:
Every once or twice every two weeks, I am flashing a new Rom, or trying a different one.. because I'm an addict. But I never really cared about the whole calibration of the battery. Maybe I should start doing that more often :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Just done overnight sleep battery test on jpx modem .

start 9pm battery 98% WiFi and GPS OFF

end 9amm battery 95%.

As this was a new rom install battery stats wiped .

Battery drained and stats wiped charge to 100% then bump charged a couple of times battery stats wiped charger left on for one hour / phone then used .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] saszseb:
Yes. You can grab Juice Defender and Juice Plotter from Market.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
it is working within the normal parameters, actually even better

i can normally dry a battery in 3~4 hours :cool:

i always keep extra battery packs with me
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I already own ultimatejuice.(the paid version)

Without wifi on, i was able to use my phone from 7am-6pm and have 40% remaining at the end of the day.

So its definatly a wifi issue, it can drain completely 'on idle' in 6hrs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] howipig:
chrisjcks,

Technically it is not "turned off" but just goes to "sleep" when screen goes dark. If there is active data connection e.g. stream audio in the background, it will stay on WiFi even the screen goes dark. Experiment yourself and check your usage. In my case, it does not use my mobile data.

*UPDATE:

I have observed some app will switch from WiFi to Mobile data connection after a period of time (~ 15 min). Using TuneIn radio, for example, for the stations that do not use the system built-in player to stream (unless it is MP3) would behave like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
I installed JPK 2.3.3 gingerbread with voodoo lagfix, and this rom seems to have fixed it.

Just 1% per hour now with wifi enabled and sync enabled (twitter etc)

Will test it overnight with wifi on, hopefully not drained in the morning as.i need the alarm for work!

Just tested 1 single hour though in the evening and it drained just 1%, so well shall see....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
Just the whole thread. Anyone found out how to limit the wifi scanning interval?

Mine is scanning every 3-5 secs and I go through 2 batteries in 12 hours, without watching videos our playing any games. Don't have email or social network apps set up either.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
Thanks for update mate, hopefully it works out for you. Not sure if I want to jump on the gingerbread band wagon just yet since there isn't an official release and there are still many issues with current 2.3.3 roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chrisjcks:
Try 2.3.3, it seems to have fixed it for me, just 8% overnight instead of being drained with wifi enabled (and it still scans)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eitama:
Heya buddy.

I used to have the same issues, but I'm not sure they were because of Wifi,

I saw somewhere in battery stats (or was it sgs info) "Time without signal 50%"

I had to enable/disable flight mode once after every reboot, I even automated it with tasker, it solved my problem.

Anyway now I am on JVK like you, and things are amazing.

Battery lasts great! Yesterday I had really heavy use :

1. Screen on for about 2 hours on auto brightness,

2. Constantly poking the phone and playing with screenoff animation

3. Whatsapp and Gmail SYNC.

4. Live Wallpaper

5. Some talking, some texting, some browsing.

From 100% at 09:00, to 00:00 I was left with 15%, and I really did touch the phone ALL day.

BTW, what wifi mode did you settle for eventually? sleep when screen off? or never sleep?

Which email client do you use?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] denzjh:
I hope this helps because I was experiencing the same thing yesterday (from 98% sleep at 10pm then 43% woke up at 6am). Last night I was in ROM Flashing Frenzy (Switched from 2.2.1 to 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 to 2.2 then to 2.2.1 (different modem etc). The best stock firmware I have was 2.2.1 JS8 (without setting modifications).

Until I read about GSM/WCDMA differences. GSM = lot of talk time whereas WCDMA = lot of idle time. When I check my phone settings, it was on AUTO GSM/WCDMA (Network Mode). I am living currently in Saudi Arabia (wherein both GSM and WCDMA are available - as far as I know).

So I suspected that it is not the WiFi Settings Scanning that eats my battery but my it was Mobile Network Settings that is scanning. When I change the settings to WCDMA (for a Lot of Idle Time), since this morning 7am until 11am battery is from 98% (when disconnected from my laptop) to it still 98% !!!! :)

Hope this experience of mine will help somehow...

;)

Additional Information:

I am currently on JS8 stock firmware since my KIES is detecting it as the latest firmware up to date.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aayyaanna:
WOW!! thanks for this amazing information..Seriously dude u saved my battery ;)..I dont need wcdma so just changed it to GMS ONLY and from past 2hrs only 1% has drained (even with wifi on)..

thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rizzy123:
I tried gsm only but the mobile internet was way too slow so switched back. Getting a decent battery life with the stock jvk rom so am gonna stick to that for now.

Which version of the Aria do you have? The AT&T version has an HBOOT of 0.57 which is rootable. The official AT&T update upgrades the HBOOT to version 1.02 which is not rootable.

What version of Android do you have on this Aria? If you have Android 2.2, then chances are this Aria has been upgraded and the HBOOT version may be preventing you from rooting it.
[HTC Aria General] havlaz:
0.57 ver.

..

install HTC Sync, then uninstall it. the program will be removed, but it leaves the required ADB drivers for proper communication.

also plug in while the phone is powered on, then run unrEVOked as admin. if it doesn't read the phone after about ten seconds close the program and re-start.

if still no go, try looking for an older version of unrEVOked:)
