[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antonyfl:
I have had battery problems plague me for the last month, regardless of flashing, reverting to stock etc.

The following data is compared to my friends captivate, who is running the same setup as I am Continuum 3.11 and Speedmod k13c

. He currently gets at least 24 hours on a full charge (thats WITH gaming and calls etc.). I can barely scrape 10 on minimum use.

At first I thought it was a rogue app that was constantly draining, but unfortunately it was not (after several trials and monitoring apps).

Next, i tried reflashing, Master clearing + flash from stock, flash at 100% charge, but still nothing.

Next thing I tried was to see if it was my battery was faulty (doubted it because it was new from original phone. Only had it for 2 months) by swapping batteries with my friends Captivate (also original battery). I concluded that this was not the problem since he was getting great battery life (if not better since mine is newer) and I was still draining.

After, I tried battery stats wiping, recalibration (bump charging) flash to stock and flash to a rom with reportedly good battery, with k13C speedmod. Still bad results.

So heres my current situation: I am running Continuum 3.11 with speedmod k13c. I have tried almost everything in my arsenal and googling but I have come back empty handed. It is NOT the battery, rogue app draining OR rom/kernal. I am completely stumped.

Heres a summary/extra details of my trials:

-Flash to stock and try again

-change batteries

-wipe stats, drain and recharge, charge for 8 hours, bump charge (recalibration), flash from 100%, master clearing etc.

- setting brightness to lowest, wifi off, plane mode when turning back on

- being anal and not installing new apps / using what rom came with

- My phone remains ice cold on standby. I know that when it gets hot, it drains (during standby and etc. but this time its ice cold)

- Here is some data: In one hour of minimal use (checking texts, replying etc.) I lose 10%. overnight I lose around 20%. In a heavy usage, 4 hours.

(note : I know that some of you might consider that barely passable battery life, but if I directly compare to the set up of my friend, its not right since in heavy usage he gets about 12 hours, which is my max per charge on minimal use)

Im hoping someone can help me with this problem, because I believe that this problem is plaguing other peoples phones as well, not just mine.

And this one of course

EDIT:

I recently swapped batteries again with my friend, because I recall fixing it at one point, but I had to reflash it due to a bug or something, i dont remember. But when we swapped batteries and swapped back, I seem to have fixed it. This leads me to believe that My phone right now has no idea where 100% actually is and its only charging to some random % that is NOT 100% .

This time, I swapped with him when he had 47 percent, and I had 87. After we swapped, we immediately checked the percentages. To my surprise, his 47% on my phone immediately turned to 23% But strangely, that 23% remained (the charge on 23 seemed to be holding for quite a while). But when I recharge, it charges WAY too fast (10 minutes of charging = 40% in total from 23%? B.S.!!!)
