Hi,
I was wondering if any of you who are using Touch Pro had a this problem: my battery drains very fast AFTER I use programs like tomtom or skype- I mean that after I close these programs (or other) and charge the battery to full level it drains very fast. The only solution I found so far is to soft reset.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey the battery life isnt great, but you can do something to make it better. There are currently three + threads opened discussing the battery life problems. Try one of those. The next time you post it might help to search and include your ROM, Radio, and location information.

Thanks a lots, i hope i can find the solution.
Dear fellow enthusiasts,
since a couple of days, I'm experiencing sudden device crashes when I'm using it for network related activities, mostly over the 3G network (for example, I'm typing out a message on the Facebook app, and the phone goes into boot loop or simply "shuts down"). I had only recently upgraded to the 4th beta build for the Cyanogenmod 9, hosted here on XDA , so I suspected it would be related to this. However, upon reinstalling both the previous version and the new mod from absolute scratch, the issues remained the same.
I had noticed that after each crash, the battery charge displayed as very low (2-6%), whereas I'm certain the charge should be much higher. So I thought it might be some sort of corrupt battery-cache issue or something.
However, and here's my actual question, I just now noticed that my I9001 battery is slightly bulged, on both ends. This bulge starts just above the white printed SAMSUNG lettering, and it ends just bellow the QR code. I can't for the life of me remember if or not this is normal, so could someone please confirm this for me?
And while we're at it, could a faulty battery affect my performance as such (making my phone crash etc)?
Thank you very much in advance for any help or information anyone could give me.
I confirm, battery is slightly bulged in those places but it looks like a production "thing" to me (I hope I understood what you mean), no need to worry, I guess. Looks like corrupted battery stats, try to wipe it via recovery (phone fully charged, plugged in - then wipe battery stats). After that, i recommend one or two full battery discharge - charge cycles. I've noticed hovever, that after each full factory reset I have for about 20% better battery drain, than after flashing many ROMs, kernels and updates (cache and dalvik cache wipe only), my battery drain is getting pretty annoying. Try a full factory reset, if wiping battery stats didn't work.

Thanks a lot for the confirmation Jacol !
Anyone else who can confirm a bulging of the 1650mAh battery for the I9001? I'd like a large enough sample group if possible.

Hey people,
I received my new battery last night, I went for an Akku Powercell of 1800mAh. Charged overnight, been using it all day, no problems whatsoever to be found.
Thanks again for the assistance!
Swollen battery = defective!
I'm sorry but I've encountered this as well in the past. Normally working phone with sudden shut downs and huge drops in battery charge. It took me a long time to convince me that the battery was defective. So maybe this would save you guys some time in finding this out!

Hey, try to use cm10 for a few days, if the problem gone then your battery is alright, and please stop using beta roms, regret are so buggy and slow: )

In general healthy batteries DO NOT swell. Buy a new one before it explodes or starts leaking...
Hey all, just because people keep on posting, the battery was indeed defective, the roms were absolutely fine and the new battery is performing marvellously!
Thanks again for all the input !

I have the exact same problem with my sgs i9000-gt.
My phone turn off itself ( no restarts, its a complete shutdown ).
First, I thought i might be a problem of GB 2.3.6 rom i was using, so i updated to latest cm10 but the problem persists.
If you restart the phone after the shutdown than i shuts down within a minute again.
Also the battery drain is pretty fast. I notice the same bulges on the battery as reported in this post.
I did the battery calibration thing as some people suggested, but that does not solves the problem. However, it got rid of the fast changes in battery status which was happening before. Like when you restart after shutdown at 80% battery status, it will show like 2% battery left and after few minutes of charging it would boost back to 80-90%.
But still the battery drain is pretty fast. It discharges from 98% (i cannot get to 100% charge, 98% is highest) to 50 % within an hour, just idling.
And when i am around 40% or so and if i recieve some message and try to open a app it shuts down again.
I have ordered a new battery just in case. Will update here if that improves things for me. But i will still like advice on which is a more economical kernel and rom for i9000-gt? Some people suggested slim bean + semaphore on some forums but i would like to have some more concrete advice before i change more things without knowing the source of the problem. I would be grateful if someone can suggest what is best to use with some details( version, etc). Thanks for that in advance.
I thank you all (users + developers) for all the useful information provided on this forum, i learnt a lot although i still am not able to fix my problem . And I hope someone might come up with a concrete solution for this problem. If there is a solution which I might have missed, I thank you in advance again and hope you will be kind enough to point me in the right direction.
cheers
update: the phone stays alright if u dont do anything on it, but the moment you being doing something on it other than playing with system settings, like run some app, especially something that uses network / wifi, it shuts down. none of this happens though while its plugged in. it happens only when its on battery.
problems fixed so far after replacing the battery

I flashed back to stock samsung rom ( from the value pack) and the problem persisted.
today my new battery arrived and all the forementioned problem seems to be gone with the new battery, my phone seems to be working fine for last 5 hrs without any restarts or crazy battery drain. will test the same with custom roms again. As of now it only seems that problem was the battery.
Cheers.
thanks to the forum and developers
Hi is this normal if not how can I fix it surely android is shouldn't be at the top of the list
You have to factory reset the phone. That also happened to me a while back, intense battery draining while the phone is idle. It solved the problem

Its normal. On my phone battery diagram looks same. After charge to 90~100% in few hours ( avrage 3 h on screen) phone yelling for power. I think the problem is in Android, something similar to first 5.0.

Hello everyone,
I received Oreo update 3 days ago and I have noticed that my battery is draining since that update. For instance, when I use facebook it drains by 1% every 2 minutes and it was not like that before update. What should I do?
I really need to go back to nogut.
Any help?

I had the same when I first installed Oreo.
Then I went to Settings, Device maintenance , Battery, Battery usage and found that android system drained my battery. I un-ticked "Allow background activity" and fixed draining.
You may also give it some time to calibrate battery measurement.
After 6 days with Oreo, I can say it's a little bit better than Nougat regarding battery.

Do you use the built-in app power monitor in settings/battery?
Use Betterbatterystats to see what's going on. Additionally, try a day or two with wifi turned off. I had huge battery drains on nougat when wifi was on and with it off I got 5 days on a single charge!! Maybe the same bug carries over to Oreo? Not sure, but worth a try if you can afford the data usage.
I'm having the same issue, and it's not like Device Maintenance and BetterBatteryStats are showing anything suspicious at all. One night idle time is nice, then on other nights i find it having a decrease of 15%.

Your Android System drain is way too high...something wrong there for sure...
If you haven't already, do a full wipe/ factory reset. This fixes most problems, including battery drain, after a major update.

Have you tried better battery stats? Do you use the app power monitor in the Note 8 settings at all? It's got to be some of your apps or saved settings...

Wow!! Android system is killing it. Dude, I had the same issue on nougat. Not sure if it'll work on Oreo, but try it: turn off wifi completely. Use cellular if you can for a day or two. Do this after a full recharge so battery stats have resetted so you can see if that makes a difference.
Also, use Betterbatterystats and give it permissions on adb. Post screenshots from that. The one you posted already isn't telling at all.
I downgraded it to Nogut and I think I am fine now. F**k this update. I think this company is intending this sh*t to push up its sales.
Fix for battery drain for Note 8 after upgrading Oreo
1) Go to settings
2) Go to Apps
3) Click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner.
4) Select "Reset App Preferences"
5) Power your phone off and on again and the battery draining problem should be fixed.

Have you tried it on your own ?
Yes. I am on my phone right now and have been on YouTube this evening with normal battery drain. After the update yesterday my battery was draining for no reason and I had to charge my phone three times. I remembered this fix from the last update when I didn't want to reset my device. I figured it had something to do with all of the Apps utilizing my location, so I wanted to do a reset of the Apps without resetting my device and it worked.
I updated a a week ago and I swear after reading different threads and changing different values my battery seems to drain pretty fast. Not sure what to do anymore since I can't/don't want to downgrade, anyone tried something that made a major impact in battery life?
Anyone??
Changing different values ?
Then tell what exactly you did, so that someone trying to help you doesn't have to guess what you did or didn't.
This battery draining can be quite hard to eliminate. That's why there are already 2 million threads out there regarding this.
When i upgraded via ota from N to O i factory reseted and battery is better than on N.

Battery drain is still terrible.
I tried factory reset, and whitout any app installed, I've made the test, I've lost 15% battery by night, in plane mode.
After a few days, still the same.
I don't know what happened but Samsung did something really wrong.

Did you have GPS, NFC, sync, and/or AOD enabled? I know airplane mode cuts off some of that, but just trying to get more detail on your general settings. I tamed some apps using the built-in power monitor, and disabled gps/nfc/aod, etc., and even with sync on i get between 0.7%-1% per hour drain overnight with auto-brightness generally at about 35%.
GPS on battery saving, NFC off, sync on, AOD off.
That's not a good news.

Try with GPS off and compare results. Might help narrow down at least part of the excess drain.
You could always stick your phone in power saving mode and see if that helps with drain. More of a bandaid fix than anything else but could help.
