Hellow all
I updated my x10 to 2.1.A.0.435 last week
It was all fine for the first few days
But I found something terrible two days ago
My battery is draining for no reason!!
I dont know why!!
It drained from 100% to 18% in one night(8hr)
and it said most of the battery was used on cell standby(52%)
I've never seen this before
Before I updated the battery was mostly used on display or idling
I have every setting the same as it was in 2.0.A.0.024
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?
Please help me
thx

That sounds like exactly what happened for me as well. It was fine 5 days and then went downhill with the cell standby number getting bigger and bigger.
Any solutions?
Thanks much.
sounds very much like a faulty app to me, stopping the phone from sleeping. What did you install immediately prior to the phone battery problems starting? Do you have a task killer? if they're not properly set up they can prevent the phone from sleeping.
I haven't installed any new apps for a while.
May be really flash again. I did mine n its gives me one full day n a bit more

I forgot about Handy Calc, which I did install about the time of the battery problem. I uninstalled it and went back to my old program, Real Calc. let's see if that was the problem.
Thanks for helping.

had the same prob but installed juice defender and enabled auto kill in aggresive mode and each 30 mins
sometimes it can last for like 4 days w/o charging (using 3g) others not so lucky lol
I ran into the same problem.
What causes Cell Standby to run so high that I have found to work for me is 1 of 2 reasons.
1: Your phone is continualy searching for service
2: Your phone is not staying on 3G and is jumping back and forth from 3G to Edge network due to bad service. Or your on Edge and it is trying to connect to an unavailable 3G Network.
I fixed my problem with turning off 3G Service unless I know for a fact that it is available. As far as not having service, turn on Airplane Mode to keep your cell from searching for service.
How to know whether Im in a good condition of service?
The signal is well (3 of the 4 bars on the frame)
and I think Im always on 3G (I can see only 3G or H on the frame)
But the pointer only shows up when Im downloading apps
Is it normal?
Thx
Reflashed again from update service
installed only astro file manager, google map, systemapp remover and market
but still has the problem......
it is now
cell standby 33%
display 30%
phone idle 26%
can somebody please help..........please......
I think the problem is the 2.1.A.0.435. Almost everyone who updated the firmware to use Z's Froyo Beta 4 reported battery draining issues and some guys suggested that the problem could be sony's new firmware/baseband. Since it affects both ppl using official 2.1 and 2.2.1 Beta 4, seems like they were right. Only workaround I found is keeping the phone with edge only, since the draining issue seems 3g related.
I most definately agree with the above post about the app '' juice defender ''. My battery started sucking the juice after the latest firmware update and even more after the FreeX10 Beta4 ROM but now it last longer than any other time. Just customize the settings for your tastes. I have found that it is not needed to use a task killer.
having the same battery drain problem. Pre 435 update I got 2-3 days without charging, immediately after upgrading to 435 the battery dropped to 60% after 4 hours. No wifi, bluetooth, GPS, 3G or new apps installed. I just think its a crappy software build.
I have the same problem, battery drain 75% in 10 hours, only make 2 calls (10mins) during the 10 hours , I have cell stand by 54% .
After reading this thread, I check my phone and found that Cell Standby is on 67% on .435 firmware. It used to be the Display which is having higher percentage of use. But I never see any unusual drain on my phone. It still drop 1% overnight from 10pm to 7am...
i had this kind of problems on my optimus,wildfire also x10.some apps even after uninstalling leave mess on phone memory which drains battery.i always did hard reset and battery got back to normal
So I'm on stock 4.0.3 now (kernel 3.0.15-I9100XXLPQ). Everything was fine right after the update. But a few days later my phone started to use more battery than it had used: I'd used to have around 60-65% of battery after coming to home from school, but a few days after the update I had like 40%. Also, sometimes I was not getting incoming calls and text messages, despite the fact that the signal bar (sorry, I don't know how you call it in English) was full.
I looked through the threads on xda forums and one guy suggested cleaning the micro USB port. His theory actually made sense for me, so I cleaned my micro USB port. I also installed CPU Spy to check if the phone uses the deep sleep mode.
Today I woke up and after 4 hours I got 91% of battery life. 'Hell yeah, problem solved', I thought. But suddenly the battery drain started again. I asked my friend to call me. He couldn't, because apparently I had no signal, but the signal bar had also been full.
Look at the screenshot. '1' is where the battery started leaking. '2' is where I rebooted my phone. After the reboot everything is fine, but I think this problem will appear again shortly.
These battery drains and losing the signal are really annoying, one night the battery dropped from 50% to 30% in 2 hours without even touching the phone (with WiFi, data transfer, GPS and Bluetooth off). What causes these problems? Can it be related with this bug in ICS?
The thing is that even Samsung hasnt been able to do a proper release as GB. GB stock rom had quite a solid battery life...Many people have seen massive battery drains and in most of the roms phone doesnt go into deep sleep. Hence causing of a lot of battery consumption.Id suggest not to use stock samsung rom and shift to a custom rom or downgrading to GB. I myself have read a lot of threads with the same problem that you are having.
I'll shift to CM9 as soon as these issues with recording and watching videos will be solved.
I can understand the battery drain, but I completely don't know why there's a problem with the signal. It's not that my phone doesn't go to the deep sleep at all. It just glitches at a certain time and the battery leaks and the signal is "lost".
I'll check tommorow if the phone really doesn't go into the deep sleep when the battery is leaking and nobody can call to me.
Bump, because the problem with the signal is really annoying.
I am thinking that its possible that all these poor battery and ICS posts are maybe that the users have not flashed firmware for the phone but rather generic stock some other providers firmware .
As i said only a thought as the majority are not direct firmware updates .
I would be running Better Battery Stats to find the drain anyway .

It's been two or three days since I did the factory reset. Now I'd say that battery got better, but the problem with the signal still occurs.
Which mobile operator are you with?
Plus GSM, I'm from Poland, my Galaxy S II is the international version of course.
Okay, I've installed CM9 on my phone, but this problem still occurs (altough now the screen uses much less battery, due to CM9's better brightness managing).
I'll explain it once again, because now I can describe my problem more accurately:
SGS II shows that I have signal, however, I can't receive calls and text messages. While it's happening, the battery life is dropping a lot faster. By "a lot" I mean 5% in 10-30 minutes when I'm not doing anything at all.
This started happening a few days after update to ICS. What should I do now? Install a modem from GB?
Yes start experimenting with older modems i would look to the last working GB modem you had .
Also some are reporting the later ICS is better than earlier releases .
jje
How do I find out what version of modem I had before?
Hello all,
I am using gt i9300 with android revolution installed(leaked 4.2.2).
I made two calls today each of duration less than 1 minute.
after an idle time of 4 hours i checked the battery consumption stats.Voice calls occupies the top spot with 40% of the total battery usage.this would be normal as battery stats are relative.but after touching the voice calls ,i get Time on for battery calls as 2h48min.i have only spoken for two minutes but the stats show as if i have spoken for two hours and then theres the battery drain(40%).
could someone please explain whats causing this the phone to register as if i have talking for 2 hours on the phone.i have better battery stats installed,it shows that the phone has no or unknown signal for 17 hrs(the time since boot).i live in an area with notorious cell signal.hope these help.if any thing else is needed,please tell me and i will post it here so that it will help you in deducing the problem.
Hi Friends
My battery is damaged
The installation program is not harmful.
Gps & sync is off
But it consumes a lot of battery
All the recipes I've done to reduce battery consumption but is unaffected
I had to flash my rom again
I bought this phone for about a month.
Early buy this mobile battery was very good, and about two days once it was connected to the charger
It is very bad battery
I charge it every day 2 to 3 times
Is it hardware problem?
All procedures are done to reduce battery consumption.
But the problem is not solved
Read wrong , sry Mod Delete please.
Try a clean install, if the problem still occurs, get your phone serviced.
Hey, I have the SM-G850F on 5.0.2. I just rooted it to fix some problem I've been experiencing:
Bad Reception:
The signal strength shows -95 dbm 9asu, usually 2 or 3 bars. I don't mind that, the speed of internet and quality of calls are ok. The problem is that it randomly cuts off calls with no reason or change in location. It's an recurring problem. Happens a lot to different callers. Some people say that when they call me it beeps as occupied while I know for sure that I wasn't and I don't even get an alert of missing a call.
Bad battery drain:
Without any battery apps the phone drains from 100% to 30% in one night, completely untouched. I don't have more than 4 pages worth of apps. Avast battery app saves a lot of battery turning wifi on and off everytime i unlock it and it doesn't find homewifi. Greenify has prolonged the battery to satisfaction too, but then I got a new problem.
Lagging menus!
It's a second way too long. I'm not being whiney, it really is slower than it should be or even was stock, 4.2 something.
How can I setup this rooted phone for optimal experience? I'm 100% noob.
Should i look into custom OS (Roms?)? How can that help me?
How long battery time should i expect out of this phone if i set it up properly and how do i do that? Is there a less battery taxing way than avast battery app?
Is there a way to test this call cut of reception thingy? Should it be included under warranty? should i unroot my phone and turn it in?
What other root apps are essential for optimal alpha usage?
