Hello. My dell streak 5 won't shut down before the battery gets too low. It used to shut off automatically when the battery % got too low. The battery itself is good. I had Batteries Plus run their diagnostic on it. Its actually in excellent shape.
This problem was noticed the same time that I noticed the device didn't charge when turned off. I had an earlier post about that subject, and totally forgot to add this symptom of the problem. In that earlier post (Q&A titled something like "won't charge when turned off") most of you wonderfully helpful folks deduced the problem must be with the cable or the port.
However, with this new information, is there new possible solutions?
If I remember correctly, the only changes were simple updates to apps (some of which were busybox and other root apps) and possibly tinkering with froyo home switcher, launcher 7, and adw launcher.
I'm sorry I forgot this important detail in my earlier posts. I haven't even been smoking! Lol. I don't know why I spaced.

More than 100 views, but no reply. I'm thankful for the activity on this forum. It may be this issue was discussed in a sticky or answered previously. I'll search again.
Did you use stock battery or extended battery?
If I use extended battery, when battery on 1% it still can run about 10 hours more before shut down itself. You can fix it by flash nop dsc kernel with mugen power option.

I am using stock battery. I am using stock/official AT&T 2.2 froyo. The only tinkering I've done is gingerbreak to root and added some root required apps like superuser, busybox, titanium backup, etc. I listed them all in a previous post.
I am really suspect of the busybox program. It's way over my head. I try not to do anything to it, but I updated it once and I remember a warning message that said to not mess with it if I didn't know a lot. And, I don't know a lot. But, I may have done something to busbox anyway becausr it ran for a little while, then went back to the menu screen. But, maybe that was just part of the update process.
I'mThinking of starting over. But, I haven't researched it yet. I know there is a thread/sticky to tell me how to get back to the very beginning. I would like the streak to be rooted, but with everything else start point. Then, I'll install titanium and starrt deleting bloat apps.
I wonder if the very few root apps I use even needs busybox?
Thank you so much for your help, guys. It's awesome that an older device has such an active community.

A) you can go into the stock ROM's files and take the messaging.apk and put it into the rom you have right now, be sure to make a backup of the one you have just in case. As for me, i'm using GOSMS, it looks great, has a popup thing etc.
B) i'm looking for the same info, i heard you have to drain the battery down to 0% then 100% then erase battery data from recovery, but others told me that draining lithium batteries shortens their lifespan and makes it even more difficult for us. Theres a easier method that worked wonders for me on my previous rom; I charged till it said 100%, then shut down, and plug in usb, so it starts charging again, then wait until it beeps or says 100% again, then reboot, and charge again, till it goes to 100% it doubled my battery, but idk how at all.
Thanks, I backed up everything through TB, so I should have the original file, just didn't know what the file name was.
Yea, I also read something like that in one of the threads, I forget which one it is. I also read somewhere about a flashable mod but also forget where that is because I was a mere newbie some 36 hours ago and none of this made sense, getting the hang of it though, very addictive, lol.
If I run across anything, I'll post the link in here

Titanium backup might not actually back that up, but theres a easier way, you go to SYSTEM/APP using a file system (root explorer, astro) and copy the messaging.apk from there to your sd or something, but im sure TB did it too.
The Flashable Mod is already included in most of the newest and latest ROMS these days, let me see if i can find if nero has it.
Nope, i THINK it has it, but i'm not sure since the original thread states nothing about a battery mod or something.
If you find a link to the battery mod, link me i'll check it out.
and yeah lol, flashing can get addicitive, so much that you accidentally hard brick your vibrant 2 times >.> (my own story lol)
Battery life improves with time, its like the battery gets used to your behavior on the new rom.
Idk why you would ask but Nero is currently one of the best roms, and best known for its battery life as well with the themes and such...
for me... Axura is just....... like 32 hours with moderate/heavy use at random times. Heavy being playing Asphalt 5 HD and Dungeon Defenders lol.
If any more questions just ask i have nothing else to do, school starts again tomorrow, so tensed up >.<.
Yea I found MMS.apk in that directory on my internal drive, don't know if that's the one that came stock or if it's for nero 3. Guess I'll just install it and hope for the best, lol
Where do you get GOSMS from? is that an app in market? tried googling it and couldn't find it. Thanks!
Battery reconditioning;
1.charge battery full
2.with charger still plugged in boot into recovery and wipe battery stats (it's under advanced)
3. unplug and fully drain.
4.fully charge and enjoy.
I can get more than 24 hours of good use on a charge.

Try going fresh and gingerbreak it, i have no issues so far with 1.8.3 , look for the offending service in titanium or under settings > applications > services
Use the guide to root 1.4.2. Works perfectly and just makes sure the exploit is used and nothing else but SU is copied over.
Safest way to do something is to do it yourself. No apk and you get to see what you install.

I was actually going to post the opposite. Went to a BBQ yesterday around 4 with a full charge, on HSPA the whole time, ran a bunch of speed tests periodically, checking NFL draft updates, checking for gingerblur 3.0 a bunch of times, and other useless tomfoolery. Left at 1:30 am, got home with 70% charge. Not bad, eh?

thats not normal time for a reflash
Try charging to full and then wiping the battery stats. Probably won't help but it's worth a shot. Flashing a lot can confuse the battery and wiping the stats after a bunch of flashes can help regain some of the batteries lost performance due to this confusion.
Good point. I forgot to mention I had wiped the battery stats while updating to 1.8.3.
Calibrate the battery? Drain it completely once or twice and recharge to 100%. That should calibrate your battery but then try using Battery Calibration.

been there done that. gonna return the phone to best buy for a new as the phone is exactly a week and a day old. and the screen lag is already killing me. i belive that for some reason rooting it it causes the screen lag. i factory rested the phone and rooted and lag still there.
You done been motoblur'd. Strip away that crap.
i actually do like motoblur. when i first got it i went the whole day from 7 am to 10 pm and still had 20 % left.
They don't call it bloatware for nothing. Your choice
the bloatware that you call it can actually be uninstalled. att navigator code scanner family map yada yada yada can be uninstalled.
what you all dont really get, is that motoblur is for basically a teenager. someoen who is constantly witht hier facebook updates emails blah blah.

I agree I was gonna post the same thing. After 1.83 and gingerbreak i get about twice as battery. I am using the same apps as I was using before. I never got over 24 hours on Atrix before but now I get 24 hours easily with pretty heavy usage. I play with is most of the time. Checking XDA every 15 20 minutes etc. This 1.83 has definately done some battery improvements to my phone. I do not mind the stock firmware now. I just have two mods, rooted and a pretty decent Blue theme.

I do get it. I just don't like the interface. I use launcher pro plus scrolling widgets for facebook, gmail, calendar, bookmarks, etc, way more to my liking.
i think i have tried the best of both worlds here. HTC Sense and MotoBlur.
i really dont lean towards one or the other as the both apeal to me. btu what i have learned it is HTC Sence is more media-centric while MotoBlur is for the more "socially connected" person. being my self a teen. i enjoy both.
Running stock with bloat (havent done GingerBlur until 3.0 comes out) Gingerbreak, Systemrecovery, nothing else installed except root explorer, advanced system tools, DEBAndroid, attempted Full Ubuntu (bombed as expected.)
My install was flash 1.26, OTA upgrade of 1.57, flashed 1.83.
Anyways, with little use, still at 100% unplugged for 10 hours.
I found this out by doing some research and have tested it and it seems to work really well actually. I don't remember where I read this but there is a system process that runs a lot of cpu cycles after the phone has been charging and sucks down battery but if u reboot your phone after taking it off the charger or usb the process doesn't run and my battery has lasted waaaaay longer. I currently use Tasker to make my phone do this automatically, so as soon as I unplug from the charger my phone reboots. Try it out and see what u think! It works great for me! I just wish there was a more elegant way of fixing the issue with this rouge process.
Just in case you're wondering, I'm running eclipse with speedy v4 scripts.

Im running it on battery saver mode, no background data and i had the WiFi off on this particular occasion. Can someone explain to me what just happened. I checked battery usage and it said 65% being used by android OS.

Can you try reflashing the latest SBF?
I guess I would ask the standard questions like have you recently installed any apps, been flashing anything or removed any system apps. First thing I would do is flash the new SBF update 198_7. This is provided by Yay 4 Juggs and is the official (leaked) update. Don't put on the update that is now out 198_6 cuz it has some issues. You'll find the update in the development section.

Battery calibration is required when u flash new rom so as to remove the old rom's bin file containing battery stats..

You have an app that is driving data to your phone, causing the wifi chip to wake the phone all the time. Apparently a system app - a lot of people have been having this issue with KK6.
Beyond this - sorry, but if you are not rooted you will have to live with it. Identifying what is triggering the wifi interrupts requires obtaining a Wireshark capture, this is not possible without root. Even if a common root cause is found for what's going on with KK6, it's most likely in /system itself so can't be fixed without a custom ROM or at least rooting.
If you're not willing to root, why are you on a firmware developer forum? Have AT&T help you instead if you're on 100% bone stock unrooted.
Well if it's an APP causing it, then many many people must be running the same app cause all of the various forums out there are a lot of people with the battery drain after updating to 2.3.6. Even a lot of my customers have mentioned it also.
I doubt it is an APP doing it. I'd bet it is just some bad coding on Samsung's part. They are probably getting a lot of complaints and are most likely already looking into it.
As far as the why he is here if he doesn't root. Well I don't root as well and have no desire to being as stock works just great. (other than the battery drain)
This is a great place to hang out and keep up on other people using various phones. He posted in the General section, not the Developer's section for this phone. So I think his/her question was valid.
If he was asking the question in the Developers section I would understand your concern. But I don't feel you have to be into cooked ROMS to value this forum.
That's like saying to the people who like the "Fast and the Furious" moves to stop watching them because they have a Chevy and not a pimped up Civic.

The forum is called xda-DEVELOPERS.com
If you don't want to root, you're probably better off in the AT&T support forums, because honestly, it isn't worth our time to try and help someone who doesn't want to root fix a problem that is almost sure to require root access to fix, or in this case, even diagnose.
I do believe many are having this issue after upgrading to kk6 (with same apps installed). I had the issue as well.
May be a system app, or something in /system causing an app to become unhappy.
Either way, it's not going to get fixed without Shark for Root captures from those encountering problems.

Having this issue as well. Phone is stock. Ive been here since the captivate but I hang around with the sgs2. Never needed to root this phone as it works perfectly for me. But I did the update this morning at 100% charge and 9 hours later with no use it's down to 9%. I could go all day with moderate use and be at 30-40% by the time I go to bed.
I read on a rather long on a google forum that many had this issue after upgrading via ota but who knows. I found that wiping dalvik and flashing unnamed update again I have much better batter life. I did read in update that he reverted to an earlier kernel signature to fix the battery drain.
Im going back to 2.3.4 via this method.

Losing 10% of my battery at idle /hour is ridiculous lol. Android os was at 87+% within 3 hours of restart.
Edit:
Okay so I did this method. Took about 5 mins after I got everything downloaded. I did not do the factory reset since it's not needed. Phones back to 2.3.4 and nothing was reset. Have all my sms's contacts, aps, wallpapers etc. Battery seems to be back to normal.
I recommend everyone who did that 2.3.6 update to revert back. To many problems with it.
I never entered download mode on this phone before. Just a tip: Keep holding all the buttons till the phone seems like it shuts off and keep holding them till you get into download mode. Do not let go or else it just powers off.
For the purposes of attempting to fix the problem, I really would like some people to take some Shark for Root captures as described in my Known Battery Drainers thread.
With that data, the root cause of the problem might be identifiable.
So far I've only seen one capture, I really need more unless I can reproduce the problem myself.

I read a possible solution on another forum and tried it with my SGS2 today and am amazed at the difference today in my battery life.
Worth a shot as it does not require anything more than charging your phone and pulling the battery.
Charge your phone to 100% with the phone off (hold the power button for 3 seconds or so until the menu comes up and select power off). When you reach 100%, unplug the charger and remove your battery (some said keep the battery removed for 90 seconds while others said 3-5 minutes). I left my battery out for 5 minutes or so. Put the battery back in and power on.
That was it. My Android OS went back to normal and the battery life today has been great if not better then with 2.3.6 than before I updated.

Quite possible, but still running on the same charge from this morning and am at 28% battery after 14+ hours of normal use which is all I expect (calls, texts and light web browsing during the day over data) and then couple hours of web use at night over Wi-Fi when at home.
The last few days I was charging the phone when I got home from the office if I wanted to use it at night. Android OS was way up in the 60+ range after I first updated OTA and today it has been under 20% and more near 15%, so I'll take it.
---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ----------
Come to think, I probably did not do a reboot after the update and could have been all that was needed.

I did this and saw absolutely no change. 2.3.6 is draining my battery far faster than 2.3.4 ever did. The culprit is the Android OS running at 90%.
I read that it might be an issue with the wifi so I have turned that off and will report back if that seems to fix it.
I read on another forum that att and Samsung are trying to blame it on bad batteries and shipping out new batteries.
What a bunch of crap. People everywhere wouldn't suddenly all have bad batteries at the same time. Sounds like usual BS.
I personally think its just some bad coding that Samsung needs to figure out.
On a different note, I played with the Verizon Droid Razr yesterday. Man that is a really nice phone. I'm tempted to get it, but I work for att and get free cell service, so it wouldn't make sense to pay for Verizon service, even though I think their network is better.

I read on another forum that att and Samsung are trying to blame it on bad batteries and shipping out new batteries.
What a bunch of crap. People everywhere wouldn't suddenly all have bad batteries at the same time. Sounds like usual BS.
I personally think its just some bad coding that Samsung needs to figure out.
On a different note, I played with the Verizon Droid Razr yesterday. Man that is a really nice phone. I'm tempted to get it, but I work for att and get free cell service, so it wouldn't make sense to pay for Verizon service, even though I think their network is better.

Android OS is definately eating up the battery now. I think it does have to do with wifi, because it seems to be much improved with it off. I'll take a free battery as long as I don't need to exchange the old one.
