[Q] Very bad battery life - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I am using following ROM and Kernal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315448
And I am having terrible battery issue, it lasts no more than 6 hours.
Am I using a bad combination?
Please advice
Santosh

I searched the thread you posted for a word 'battery' - it popped 159 results, most of them regarding high battery consumption. Maybe it is time to consider changing a ROM?
Remember that active sync, max brightness, wifi and especially 3G connection are battery drainers. When you don't use them, turn them off.

Try to load your battery to 100% , then go in recovery menu , select advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats
Hope it will help!

And if your battery is getting old it might be a good idea to get a new one. Mine died at 2years of age, replaced it with a anker 1800mAh and i had twice the capacity of the old one.

New guy in the Android community

Hey guys.
I just bought a Dream to someone, I wanted to try after so many years of Windows Mobile.
I have a HC battery (1600 Mah) and I'm not sure if this is the problem (poor quality battery maybe?), but I can't pass the day without a big utilisation. Just a few SMS and calls.
The phone has been flashed with a cyanogen Rom, and in the battery utilisation, I can see 40% screen and 40% GSM sleep. I think it's really huge and I am wondering if there is not an issue with the radio Rom.
Thanks for all the advices.
Since you got a new batt you could try wiping batt stats from recovery then letting the batt die and recharging it to calibrate it.
Thanks for the answer, but the battery came with the phone . I bought it on an Android forum.
I did a swipe on the first boot anyways.

Might be worth wiping battery stats from the recovery console and then re-flashing the ROM. If the battery life is still terrible after that, then i imagine your battery is screwed.
Ok thanks, that's clear now.
How to do that exactly?

[Q] Maybe Noob Battery Question?

I'm on the Fasty 2.3 rom and I just cant seem to go more then 12 hours on battery life even on light useage. The only thing I keep on is my 3g service, which is all the time. I've also tried using battery calibrationaters (lol) and none of them seem to calibrate my captivate.. I think. What's a good app to monitor my battery and also an app to help me calibrate my battery in case I'm doing it wrong somehow?
I calibrate by charging to 100% and then rebooting my phone but my phone seems to drain at the same speed no matter what I do. I installed Fasty from stock also.
Chechk the battery what is using the battery, maybe it's the android OS

Remove the battery and put it back say about after 15/20 mins, This has helped some members to solve this issue. Just give it a try.

Lol, I've been reading and I guess there's a bug with the Android OS or something and it'll run high if your phone is on for a long time. The fix is just to restart.

That did it! I charged my phone up to 100% then i calibrated it. Shut off my phone, took that battery out, grabbed a plate of food and decided to watch Despicable Me, finished my meal and then put the battery back and now my phone is at 67% after 18 hours!
Great, Thats amazing 67 after 18 good going mate.

Maybe it's the battery
I had to change a few days ago 'cause it started to heat up, and it lasted very little without charge.
When I remove the battery, I noticed that it was swollen.

Try to flash a clean Stock with Odin, and the next time, ask for it in Q & A Thread!!
Thank you for your attention
First, clear your battery stats.
If that doesn't work, reflash your ROM or try another one.
If that also didn't work, remove back cover and take out the battery. If it is swollen or shaped weirdly, that is the end of your battery and you'll have to purchase a new one.

CM Roms use Firekernel which takes up a lot of battery. When I used CM, I got about 5 hours battery.
I would suggest to go with a stock rom, flash battery extender kernel, or spacekernel and flash some scripts like 14 toggles and others. It would be like a CM experience only.:fingers-crossed:

[Q] Terrible Battery Life?

Hi, I have had my HTC One for a good while now, and I have been hopping between roms to try and find my favourite. I have just switched from GPe to InsertCoin. I have been getting what I think is very bad battery life on every rom I've tried (stock, GPe and InsertCoin) that I can't explain. Is this a software issue or is there something else happening here?

Indeed it seems a terrible battery life, but I bet you didn't let the ROM settle. If you continously change ROMs you'll get bad battery life, you should keep the ROM for at least 3-4 battery cycles to get an idea of battery life. Another suggestion I could give you is charge it while turned off, sometimes the phone shows it's full, but actually it isn't. Leave it till the light turns green, turn it on and than another half an hour

Yes I understand what you mean about letting it settle, and I probably should have mentioned that I have had bad battery life while staying on GPe for several months. I saw the same thing I don't understand: Android System using about 80-90% of battery in the battery usage even though I was using the phone and there seemed to be no long wakelocks...

how can you change your battery?
though you can update your firmware to the latest
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
Every once in awhile I notice unusually big battery drain. it is almost always one app or another, not very easy to spot, it takes some amount of trial and error. my flow is:
have BBS at the ready, ideally your phone rooted and ensure BBS has root permissions. measure battery consumption at night, during the day for at least several hours. check the culprit app in all tabs, sometimes BBS doesn't seem to get access to all wakes for instance I could only find the trace of the drain source under network usage. usual battery drainers are google location based apps but I've also seen a system file Explorer that would gain access to network too frequently while in background. hibernate or freeze/disable those apps as you see fit, rinse and repeat. regardless of the rom I get in the end approximately 0.3%/hr of batt drain at night, 0.7%/hr during day while phone is in standby. I keep in background llama, accuweather, Tapatalk, mail, Dropbox, textra and a couple system apps. I use greenify to hibernate user and system apps alike. I only turn on location when I do need maps.
hope that helps.

If you used my ROM before replacing the screen and everything was OK, then my ROM probably is not the issue.
You could try recalibrating your battery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
If that doesn't help, you will have to get a new battery. (good thing our battery is removable )
There might be other reasons why this happened to you. Try goggling a bit more. It might yield some success.
