So, on top of MIUI 11 completely destroying the battery life, I had another drop in longevity of a charge.
Could it be possible that my battery died after less than 6 months of owning the phone?
I'm not going to use AccuBattery as it's wildly inaccurate on every phone I used it on.
Get a battery stats app which can log the runtime & battery consumption accurately then try to post here so people can check it out... Something like battery battery stats etc

hey guys
in the last couple of weeks ive flashed about 5 roms which consider to be good.
i have to say I really like android but one issue keeps me frustrated
and thats battery life.
how can it be that my friends iphone battery lasts so much more then my galaxy s1?
ive gone through numeros guides decreased brightness to minimum
stopped syncing my gmail account and other stuff as well.
as time goes by im regreting not buying iphone when i had the chance
because battery is one of the most important things in a smartphone.
currently,
i am 25 years old student studying computer science in the university
which means im out most of the day.
its not that rare for me to be stuck without battery and its so frustrating.
i ask for your help please,
what is the best rom for s1 regarding battery life
and has hebrew on it?
(im from israel)
thanks alot mates!
Have you ever calibrated it after flashing?

yes man everytime after flashing a new rom im calibarating when reaches 100
let it drops to 0 and turn off
then charging to 100 again.
i just want my battery to last hehe
It doesn't benefit at ALL

Dropping to 0% is the worst thing a LI-ION battery can experience.
There are some calibrations methods around, you can try some apps but I think you ROM just needs some time to calibrate the battery sign. Are you running a zillion of apps in the background?
Another option is to buy a new battery with more power. stock battery has 1500mah. but you can get a battery with 1800mah for your s1.
Did you wipe battery stats in cwm?
Disable mobile data or switch to 2G only it helps a lot. Phone will drain battery if you have a bad signal
I have to second the disable the data connection recommend. Also your battery life will get better the longer you use a rom and the more charge/discharge cycles your battery sees. To be clear that does not mean 100%-0% every time just regular charging.
I'm personally on GB and with data disconnected for most of the day and the 1800mah battery I have been on the same charge for almost a week and still have 30% left. It's truly amazing!!

Dropping below the minimum voltage is what you're talking about, and that's not possible because of the controller on each battery. That's why the phone dies when it hits 0% (or thereabouts) even though it still has plenty of power left over to run the device. Running a full cycle on the battery will be just fine.
So with my phone I like to use it until the battery gets very low (sub 5%) so I can aggregate battery stats to see how much I get on a full charge. I have heard that this is bad for the battery though and it should not be allowed to fully discharge very often in order to prolong the battery life.
I was wondering what is the lowest % I should let the battery get to before I should charge again (10%, 20%, 30% etc) to maintain the best battery life and performance.
I suggest just charging your phone every night and not worrying about it unless you plan on keeping it for over 2 years.
Optimal battery percentage is 40%-60%. But heat has a much higher impact on longevity. Mostly the battery will protect itself from to much damage.
Why would optimal be 40% to 60% and not 40% to 100%?

"Turn off phone while charging"
Wonder how important that is.

Depends on what is important to you. It keeps the battery cooler (less/no heat from CPU). Obviously you can't recurve phone calls or text messages when the phone is off though.
In most cases, if you don't plan on keeping your phone for 4 or 5 years, the reduction of battery longevity would not be significant. You may now have say 4 hours SoT with 14 hours standby, and in 3 or 4 years you might get 3-3.5 hour SoT with 11 hours standby. Yes it's a loss, but still 'enough' for most people.

Less stress to the battery. Hybrid cars do this too.
Draining close to 0% will stress the battery more, but it's hard to avoid since we have such a wimp battery.
I just charge it up every night or whenever I have a chance since I use wireless qi chargers. By the way, wireless charging creates heat because the inefficiency which is also bad for the battery.
I hav bought a secound hand oneplus 3t and hav been using it since a couple of weeks i have a lot of battery drain when the phone is sitting idle jst like browsing chrome or something . Some of the examples of my drain is charged to 100% and after 32 min of use the battery drops to 80-83%
i have tried almost all the custom roms and the stock roms I get only around 3-4hrs sot only on the stock marshmallow rom i hit 5 hrs need help
really bad.
You'll need to provide a bit more info to figure out exactly what's causing the drain. Download BetterBatteryStats, that will allow you to see which Wakelocks are involved.
Also, how old is the phone? Considering the usage and charging habits of the previous owner, its possible the battery itself might have degraded since batteries do degrade over time.

To do that, for an accurate reading you'd euther need a multimeter or any other capacity meter, but i believe you'd have to open your phone up even if you did have one of those devices since the battery isn't user accessible.
However, you can also use apps such as Accubattery which give you a similar reading. It wont be as accurate but it'll give you a general idea.
Hello guys,
i recently replaced my note 8 battery. i also factory data reseted the phone so i could reset everything. Now batteyr life is obv better. Sot get to like 3.5 hours of SOT but i still feel like its not like it should be. Before was getting like 2 hrs sot. ? battery is new and i also tried with another new batteyr for testing with same results. Now i installed accubattery and over the course of 3 days its says battery life weak and 2100 mah reported out of 3300. Also samsung members says battery life is weak. Anything im missing?
thank you
Edit:
triet *#0228# and says 0-8 battery block. have read on forums people says if less than 8 battery its bad. BUT my last battery also said 0-8 blocks and drained 40% overnight while new battery 5-7%.

Hard to say if it's a bad battery.
Best to install BetterBatteryStats app, record an idle dump and post it in the BBS thread (
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/)
There are some experts analyzing your battery stats and giving you advices, if you can optimize battery life on your device.

I replaced my battery a couple weeks ago too. Using Accubattery, it is showing that my battery is 2435 mAh. Funny thing is before I replaced the battery, it was also showing similar number, which makes me think if the shop I went really replaced my battery or not. Went back to complain and they just returned my money and didn't want to do anything about it.
I'm also wondering the same thing is I need to calibrate the battery, this is how I land to this posting.
Last night I tried to let the battery dies to 0% and kept trying to turn it on to ensure the battery had completely died and charged it overnight. This was suggest by one posting in Google. However, it doesn't give me any improvement as since I turned it on this morning to 77% only takes 40 mins with continuous browsing.
One posting said that I need to do a wipe partition cache. Which I haven't done. Nor have I factory resetted the phone.
Still trying to find how to improve, my last resort would be to buy new phone
Accubattery isn't accurate.
20% @ 617 ma gives you around 3000mAh.
A better question is what's eating so much power?
Galaxy Labs Battery Tracker is useful.
Karma Firewall can show you what's using bandwidth and power. You can also firewall block any app with it.
It's not an original battery that i bought.
First charge.
Assuming that it hasn't been used before, is this normal?
Are stats going to change after a few charges or should I delete battery stats to refresh... ?
I don't have much knowledge about these stuff.
Probably I've just been given a used battery, but I gotta ask anyway.
What your SOT look like?
If new there should a huge improvement.
Battery calibration may be off...

SOT is almost the same - 4 hours approx.
I'll check batt. calibration..
I'll calibrate battery, charging full and deleting batterystats, to see if there will be any change.

Same SOT as old one means likely it was a degraded replacement battery. Not good...

Yes, I think the same.
