[Q] High battery usage straight after Gingerbread flash - Optimus One, P500, V General

I really don't know what's going on, but even after a full GB flash, the battery still plummets in certain conditions. For example, now it happened, I think, because of setting an alarm. And it went down 32% in 6 hours. While being idle.
I attached the relevant battery usage screen, which reflects the usage before plugging it in. Help please?

Ridiculous Battery Life

I previously made a thread regarding low battery life.
After a week of use and more testing, here's what I gathered.
(Note: I have GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi always disabled, brightness lowest)
My phone will completely drain out in 6-7 hours.
I found the culprit: Cell Standby
1.) Cell Standby always uses the most battery, often 60%+.
2.) Phone Idle often follows with 30%+.
So, to verify my theory that the screen isn't the issue, I turned on airplane mode.
I proceeded to watch a 1 hour comedy, and battery life dropped from 60% to 50%.
This is lower battery usage than if it were sleeping with cellphone on.
I then noticed that my signal hasn't been good (provider sucks, no choice, all of em here sucks).
So, I placed my phone on, but asleep inside a locker for 2 hours (no signal).
When I took it out, it was very warm at 40+ C and battery life dropped about 20-30% per hour.
I've tried turning 3G off, turning always-connected off or downgrading 2g.
The result has always been the same. It still sucks bigtime.
It seems like Nexus One also has this problem, anyone notice similar problems?
I've googled and been told that this is "normal", because the phone increases power to secure a signal.
However, I've clearly owned phones and placed them in signal-less lockers prior to this, and trust me when I say most of them drop 5% per hour max.
20-30% per hour is horrible, and clearly the phone is overpowering its components.
There are some certain Radios you can flash to improve how your phone uses power to pick up a signal, Requires root access tho.
Can you please point me to those radios? I've already tried updating my radio to latest.
My phone is already rooted.
My battery is a joke and I have tried many different things. I always have to charge it by around 3pm everyday during week as It will almost die on way home.
I take it of charge at 7.30am by 9.30 it could be down to 86% and then it judt continues to drop by 3 It can be between 60 and 50% if lucky, by time i'm tenmins from my house I get 15% and warnings.
I use basically for txt, some net usage and sometimes playing a game 10 - 20 mins tops and or read ten mins of books.
I have all updates off only manual and screen down low etc - doing my head in!

Im facing the same level of battery drain, but i have 3G turned on constantly with updates from facebook every hour twitter updates every 15 mins and mail app every 30 mins. And i mostly use my phone for music and SMS with occasional browsing.

Strange, I always have 3g on, and still play a lot with my hero (games and such)
Still it survives about 36 hours on 1 battery load. Without 3g it holds out for 72 hours.
Post #1 on the thread below seems to have a working solution (re-interpreted below)
It seems to be something to do with the battery stats and charging via usb through PC instead of via the mains.
You have to clear your battery data when your phone has really really low battery (this is probably the MOST IMPORTANT step) (you can do this through recovery mode in amonRa). Once the battery data is clear, switch back on (before plugging in) and drain the battery so that your phone switches off by itself (playing music loud and switching wifi, data connect etc, etc is suggested in the thread).
Once battery has died, plug in your phone WHILE it is STILL OFF, then when the battery shows green (will probably take longer to charge because this time it is getting a full charge), UNPLUG BEFORE you switch it on. and you should notice the significant difference. - Oh yeah make sure you switch off all those data connections and wifi and all those other things that you used to drain the battery - unless you use some of them of course
EXTRA TIP given on the thread: TIP!! Remeber when changing and flashing new roms to unplug the phone from charge *(i.e. unplug from your PC) (edit Bad4ss) * after you boot!
TO answer LennyUK's Q below ( and so that the next page doesn't start to quickly before this suggestion is read ) I think why it is suggested for the first boot after this process to be done while off is because it is already off because of the drain AND because it will get a clean full charge up for the first time after a battery data wipe. Because while it is on it will be depleting the battery even if it is in a small way - after that you can do it whichever way you want *nudge-nudge-wink-wink-say-no-more*

I don't see why the same thing cannot be achieved by charging with the phone on, just as long as you don't change between phone being on or off during the charge i.e. if you start charging with the phone on leave it like that the whole time and visa versa

Can you do this on non rooted phone? How do I get into recovery mode?
I think the analysis is flawed. I also think the stats information doesn't tell you everything. For example, yesterday I had 60% cell standby, 20% WiFi, 20% phone idle. Consumption was 45% in 24 hours.
Previous to yesterday, I had high battery consumption. So yesterday was a breakthrough but YMMV. I removed the PCSCII and the Mail app (I don't sync with Exchange and I don't sync with a PC as such - I don't run Windows). I also disabled auto task killer. I rebooted without being connected via USB to power or to PC. Suddenly power consumption became similar to Modaco ROMs.
Last night, I also disabled the setCPU application and rebooted. 6% battery consumption in 9 hours. 34% cell standby, 33% WiFi, 33% phone idle. Consumption was 45% in 24 hours.
how have you improved battery usage, ive tried resetting battery stats, draining battery, fully charging, using kimera 1.5 and with no wifi no bluetooth, not using phone in few hours it was down to 63% and in 10mins had dropped to 59%
i had similar battery problems but today i changed radio versions into a different one, now i get almost full signal all the time and battery usage is geatly increased (went down 2% in 4 hours as compared to 10%/hour)
so i suggest finding a radio that give you good reception

I will use that radio too seeing as I too am on T-Mobile in the UK. When you say to use the link and suggest doing it, I take it you mean the "get to 10% -> get to recovery mode -> wipe battery info -> reboot and drain battery 'til off -> charge while off and the take off charger once charged and switch on..
'cos I tried that and still having problems - am using the new Villain 4.0 beta2, so maybe the radio change in combination to this is what will work - I'll try it tonight when I get home.
immya : many thanks i now hove phone back
flashed radio 63.18.55.06_6.35.05.31
and lost 1% over night
previously on LOST
radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 lost 56% overnight
perhaps issue with 2.1 roms is the latest radio and not latest kernal
BTW using sensehero at moment as was trying 1.5 roms to get better battery, and that didnt work.
some one maybe sticky this info , if anymore find it a saviour. will report back after work, mayeven be able to use data syncing again

Don't understand

Ever since I rooted my fiances and my phone his battery life is so much better then mine.
Mine right now is at 92% and has 17hrs 30mins
His is at 88% and has 24hrs 48mins.
Is there any way that I can improve mine without having to buy a new battery?
We are both using kaos v39.
Thank you for any help.

The battery % also isn't necessary accurate.
The phone uses a calculation of voltage (as closely as it can), temperature, and activity, to determine the %. Largely, the figure is just based on voltage.
Sometimes, when your phone is charging, it can say 83%, but be at a solid 4200mV (4.2 volts). It's probably not going to charge any further. If you power the phone off, the light will probably turn green (showing you that it's charged). Then if you boot it back up, the battery % might read 100%.
Is it 83%? Is it 100%? Clearly, in the 2 minutes it took you to turn your phone off and on, it didn't gain 17% battery.
The difference between 88% and 92% could be temperature, voltage of the particular battery at the moment, who just used their phone more in the past 2 minutes before checking, and (due to all the variables) practically 'dumb luck'.
What you really will see is if you let them go for a very very long time (until they get to 0% and auto-shut off), you'll find that whoever had their screen on more often (maybe whoever does more texting), or whoever has more 3g internet doing things in the background (if one of you has an email app that checks email every 10+ minutes, keeping the phone awake, and moving data), or whoever works in a workplace with worse reception (that will eat battery very quickly, as the phone uses battery to get 'louder' so that the cell phone tower can 'see' it), will have their phone hit 0% more quickly.
The difference between 88% and 92% may actually be nothing. It's just your phone's 'guess' at how much battery is left. His phone's 'guess' is different, because the variables going into the calculation are totally different for a handful of minor reasons.
I wouldn't sweat it.
If yours hits 10% when his is still at 40 or 50%, with similar usage, yeah, that's something to pay attention to.
But the battery % isn't THAT accurate, to even sweat 4%.
I promise.

Alot of widgets can also change your battery life as well. Especially things like Facebook, location based weather, latitude, etc. Ones that are always updating and using data or gps.

[Q] HELP, battery reading problems

couple weeks ago, i pulled my battery out when it was at 81% started it back right away and it was 45%, did it again today, it went from 71% down to 29%, my battery reading is tripping, I noticed. MY BATTERY IS HORRID, i lose 1% power per min on the lowest screen brightness display setting, could this have anything to do with this?
side note:
using my battery. battery stats says that my screen is causing 99% drainage.
my buddy battery: my screen is 80% drainage.
bad battery??? it still drains really quick with my buddy's battery, but DOES perform better. but not by much...
another thing, lol..... charging differs. sometimes it can charge like 10% every 10 minutes, and sometimes 30min for 10%.....its just weird. and my phone doesn't last me longer than 10 hours full charge, minimal use.
You may want to look at your battery health under the battery information menu.
Also to better understand and provide support we need to knock out a few things.
What is your current set up? ( rom,kernel, etc)
Have you done a battery calibration at all?
Have you run things like cpu spy to see what apps could be at fault?
All of this can give the community a better picture of what may be going on
Also I pull my battery alot because of testing and sleeps of death and I see very good battery life still. Atm 15 hours @ 72% and I am far from conservative.
SF.UKB.CR.
kernel is the community TSM, battery still was wierd in stock rom, sc 2.9.2, and others.
battery health is good according to spare parts at 3850mv.
currently charging its been at 16% for 10 mins.....

Just FYI, you don't have to do a battery pull when you get SOD. Just hold the volume up and power buttons until you see the samsung logo, then let go. This is a hard reboot of your phone. That will save you battery a little bit as you won't be pulling it as much.

Battery No Longer Calibrating Properly

Hey Everyone,
I apologize if this is a repost. I know I read somewhere (I believe here) about a similar issue, but I couldn't find it in searching.
A little background - AT&T SGS2 running stock rom (2.3.4), rooted, using a custom kernel (2.6.35.6) I got off of here.
Anyway, my phone has been working great for months. All of a sudden, my battery indicator is completely wacky and innacurate. It seems to have started after I came back from a trip and had to put it in 'airplane mode' a few times.
The battery level indicator goes down very quickly, and is not a true indication of my phone's charge level. I noticed it a couple days ago (after we came back) where after about 6 hours, I was down to 40%. Normally after a full day's usage I am still at ~80% by the time I get home from work. Since my phone had been running for weeks without a reboot, I decided to reboot it, thinking maybe I had some overzealous background processes running. It came back online with the battery indicator at 8% (down from 40% a minute prior)! After about 30mins or so, it began to go up, and settled around 14%. It stayed at this level for hours, until I plugged it in when I went to bed.
The next morning, same thing, it would lose 1-2% every few minutes until it got down to <10%, where I would get a warning about a low battery level. But once it hit that mark, it would stay there for hours and my phone would work perfectly fine.
As I mentioend above, I thought I read a similar story where the recommendation was to turn the phone off, charge it up all the way, and then turn it back on after it was fully charged. I tried that last night, but my phone is down to 87% after only 2 hours of non-use.
I've made sure that UV/OC'ing was disabled, that no background apps are doing anything weird, etc. And it's not like my battery is really dying quickly - it's just that Android thinks it is. I've checked the level using multiple programs, and all report the same incorrect information.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!
You have encountered two separate issues, one of which is widely documented (fuel gauge reaction to rebooting), one of which is unexpected but possible on UCKH7 (abnormal drain).
But it doesn't look like the battery is really draining that much quicker, only that it's showing that it is. For example, while it might take me only 3 hours to go from 100%-10%, I'll stay at 10% for hours.
It's like the battery is no longer calibrated properly.
Do you use Samsung original charger? If not, try. It should go away.
Take your battery out for a few minutes. The SG2 differs in that it uses a chip for battery calibration/stats. You need to cut power to it completely to reset it. Now, if it still does it afterward, either the battery is faulty, or the phone's ability to measure voltages is wonky.
Also, are you using the phone's Power Saving mode? Maybe the battery is dying but the phone is taking steps to make it last longer?

I used to never use my Samsung charger and never had issues. However, months of using my blackberry charger has rendered it now ineffective. The charger dongle was slightly smaller, and its continuous wiggling messed up my phone's power port slightly. It's a good thing that my Samsung charger still works.
When we were on vacation, I was using my wife's charger for her phone (T-Mobile G2x) so we didn't need to take two (seemingly) identical chargers with us. My understanding was that the pinout and voltage were all the same, so I didn't think it would matter. Maybe that had an impact?
Normally I use my Samsung charger, and have been since we got back.
I haven't tried removing the battery yet, since its in a hard shell case and was hoping I could resolve the issue without taking it apart. But I'll try that tonight.
Power saving mode is disabled. I've also disabled BT, Wi-Fi, GPS, and shut down every app. In the time since my first post (84%) and now, I'm down to 58%, and my phone has been sitting on my desk unused the entire time.
According to the built in battery monitor, Android OS accounts for 92% of battery usage, with Display at 3%, Cell Standby at 3% and Phone Idle at 2%.
As I mentioned above, I thought I read something about a 'trick' to reset the battery gauge by turning the phone off, charging it to 100%, unplugging it, and then turning it back on. Was I mistaken?
Thanks for the responses.
FYI - I just pulled the battery, let it sit for a minute, and plugged it back in.
Battery level went from 58% to 39% after it powered back on.
I'll try charging it again to see if it has any noticeable impact.
Oh, I did want to mention that I've been very religious when it comes to charging my phone properly and trying to "take care" of the battery. I never let it get below 20% (outside of recently due to the issue), I always charge it up to 100%, I never do quick "let me just charge it for 15 minutes to make a call" type charges, I always use a wall charger and not a car charger, etc.
Down to 38% during the time it took me to type this...

That to me sounds like you might have an app creating a wakelock and preventing it from going into deep sleep.

With the exception of high load immediately following a reset (which is why it goes funky on a low-battery reboot), it's basically impossible for the fuel gauge to go out of calibration. It's designed to continuously converge towards truth.
Check the raw battery voltage when it seems to be funny. If your voltage is consistently low, you might be experiencing a hardware failure (like maybe the battery's protection circuit is on its way out.)
After pulling the battery, putting it back in and recharging it, it seems to be working well now. Too early to say for sure, but I went the entire afternoon and evening (up until now) with some mild usage, and am only at 84%. So far so good!

The phone has a voltage drop which causes the drop from 58 to 39 when you reboot it. I'm not a fan of it either.

battery information problem

hi guys , i got some problem with the information displayed for my razr maxx. the thing is the battery usage curve won't change for the first 10% of power drain, and the awake bar and screen on bar are full. but when the battery drops to 80% and below, the curve starts to count from the 80% position, what is going on? how can i fix it ?
here is the screenshot
How many times have you already charged that battery from 0% to 100% and drained it back again to 0%?
Seems like a simple calibration issue that should have no effect in real world battery performance.
Had that too. If you want to know more about this, look up "batterystats.bin".
So, if you haven't done what I said in the first line, do it and report back.
i have tried delete the .bin file bwfore, nothing changed. i think i will try to charge it from 0to 100again see if there will be any change. btw will the battery calibration apps solve this?

Read that. You don't have to do anything, just let your razr get some charge cycles and the readouts will be right. Remember: There is no need to tinker with this, as this has no effect except for cosmetic terms.
thanks for the information. one more thing, the battery indicator always shows that the screen on and awake time are the same, even after i turn off the screen and play music for an hour. is this normal? or the system keeps recognizing the status of the screen as on? how should i deal with this?
I would just wait a few days (read: charge cycles) and look again. Indeed strange, but if your battery doesn't get drained this also seems just to be another cosmetic issue.
actually it seems it has been more energy draining than before. it wouldn't drop 1% when i turned on flight mode at night and checked it in the morning. but now even i turn on flight mode it drops about 5% next morning.

Don't count on the battery percentage today. Look again tomorrow/after some charge cycles.
The battery readouts need to be calibrated to display the correct battery level.
I had the same "issues" (in fact, those don't seem to be real issues) and they went away. I assume your razr will behave the same as mine
Is the phone still new? I know mine was a little wonky until the charging and the meter apparently calibrated themselves to Maxx's battery Ever since, it's been very accurate.
yes it is still new. i got it about half a month ago. just got it charged to 100% from 0%. gonna see what will happen。
