Power Drain on core 2 ? Is related or not - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hello : Im runing core2 on my wizard . After upgrade a starnge problem hapens .
When i charge my phone to 100% the power starts to go down...its 1 MINUTE to drain.
If I dont charge to 100 % everything is ok.
HELP...

There is no powerdrain on Core. It has the best battery life for long time.
Please be sure that you don´t have:
- a corrupted Extended.Rom
- no third party program running in background
For me there are no problems with battery - it even last for 48hours and more.

The only program i have is spb weather.
I already updated twice.
Thnks

yes the problem exist with g4 device and ext_rom (my was not corrpted and drain)
but i think i solve this, need just one day to be sure of this and i will post here

How do we say that i have a corrupted ExtROM? is it if its unusable? or if you see a unknown charcters (&*W%#@$&) files inside the ExtROM?..

if you only can see this bug files and folders yes, its corrupted

When I first looked at your name I thought it said GrandWizard. Where I'm from in the south, that ain't good.
If you have a corrupt extended ROM, just flash your latest carrier ROM and then reflash your choice of WM6 ROM's using whatever method works for your G4. It should be OK after that.

Thnks but mine is G3...

Yes, a G3 can have a corrupted Extended Rom too.
Is your device CID Locked ?

I kinda disagree...I myself have probably the worse battery drain ever, but have learned to live with it, since my MDA is usually attached to an charger majority of the day anyway.... I have an G3 device myself, and have used many, many, many different roms, and only till I got to WM6 not just Xplorer 1.x or 2.x but all of them i have had battery drain, but im not tripping on it, its not that serious as I say my phone stays on charge most of the day.
Just last night for the first time I didnt charge it over night, it was at 83% before going to sleep around 1 something in tha morning, woke up at 9am and I was at 47% battery life, device in sleep mode and recieved 4 emails and 2 missed calls. I have read that power drain may have something to do with storage card and email attachments, but not sure of my case, not too serious of a problem for me to change.

Iulian, you can please pack our test from yesterday and upload for everyone here test?
at now i dont have anymore problem with drain! so i think my crazy ideia realy solved the problem

Hello : Where can i get the last oficial imate w5 rom ? I will upgrade with this rom and after core again.
Thnks a Lot....

problem with vibrate : pandora 1.05 involved ?

I flashed to pandora 1.05 a few days ago.
Now, since yesterday evening, and after several SR, my vibrate function doesn't vibrate anymore...
(a vibrator that does not vibrate seems a bit useless )
I wonder if it could be the rom's fault since I tried nearly all wm5/wm6 roms floating around, and never experienced this problem.
And, if rom is not guilty, anyone knows a way to have my pda vibrate again ?
Should replacing the battery with a new one do the trick ?
thx all for your help

I don't think that is a ROM problem. Still , just to be sure, you could flash any other rom, check the vibra function and if not working, mabe the little engine that does that is dead, or , if it's working, you could try flash back see if it wasn't a bad flash.

Yep ! I was planning to do that tonite. But I'm @ work for now and was hoping for a simple and fast solution....
Despite i'd prefer the matter to be rom related (no offense to mun nor "pandora team", they did a great work), i'm affraid i'll have to get a new battery !!!
NOTA : VIBRATION MECHANISM IS LOCATED IN THE BATTERY, RIGHT ???

I NEED HELP ........ plzzzzz help meeeeee

hello pals ,i have an O2 xda zinc & i think its a nice phone... it was working fine but recently the problem had developed that it turns off on its own when the
battery is at 50% & it wont turn on unless i connect it with the charger & the phone will only run normally if the battery status is above 50 %
i had updated it to wm6 latest rom but its the same ....moreover i cant replace the unit or send it for service coz i had bought it from grey market for a hefty amount & I NEVER KNEW IT WASNT A HTC DEVICE ...
I FEEL THAT I M STUCK. PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ HELP ME
Try a New Battery
Have you tried a new battery? Although you may think its getting a full charge maybe you got a bad or refurbished battery try that first.
yeah
Yeah i had tried that .... it didnt helped ................
62 VIEWS & ONLY 1 REPLY ... COME ON GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
have you tried reflashing? to clean out anything that may be jacked up?
what have you recently changed? i think i would definitely try flashing a clean rom and see what happens there (back-up first of course in case it doesnt help and you want to flash back and get all your stuff back)

wow then, well...im sorry to say, but you're probably out of luck. if you have tried replacing the hardware as well as the software, then there must be some sort of problem with the battery connection or some other internal issue...something you wouldn't likely be able to fix.
sorry, good luck.
UMM i guess i m stucked .. can any one plzz gimme some idea whats wrong with my ppc
I sense that you might be desperate for ideas....
I've had some odd battery problems, too, and what seems to help me the most is to drain the battery entirely, or at least very, very close to it, and then recharge it without interruption completely.
AEBPlus has a "disable "power off" if not used function that might keep it powered up while you drain it, or might, on an outside chance, even solve your problem.
It almost sounds as if the unit is telling you the batttery is at 50%, but really it's just about drained. It could be there's something set somewhere to have it power off at 50% rather than 0-5% like usual, but the former sounds more likely to me. You might want to check to see what sort of time/usage other units like yours get out of a battery-full. Maybe just reading your numbers differently (50=0, 75=50 etc.) is the way to go.

Battery meter stuck at 100%

Hi guys two questions..... im a newbie so forgive if I don't understand ur xda forum lingo..... newho.....
1. my battery meter show 100% at all times.... when its fully charged and when its been used all day... and then eventually wen it drains out...it jus dies out... but still at 100%.... how can I correct this? I have not installed any battery meter applications.
2. I do not get any sound notification if I have an incoming call while on a call, so when I hang up... I just see a missed call..... :-S please help.
its not stuck its one of those life time batteries
how abt u letting us know which device and some more info abt the rom you have flashed. wud be helpful. really
....lol...i kno huh? life time running battery... sheeeeeettt..... newho....
oh yaa completely forgot using the LG KS20 ... jus got it like 2 weeks back... im on wm6 ..... hope that helps....
ROM i have flashed....? ummmmm sorry bout the ignorance..... dunt quite understand the question......
come to think of it. maybe it is a lifetime battery. hehehehe. anyways i did ma research on google. and have to say sorry pal. i cudnt find any other link related to this specific problems. i suggest you try some alternative programs like battery status or spb mobile shell to keep track of ur mobile phone status.
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/?en
jus incase u dont like installing another program might i suggest u try a hard reset. make it will bring out the bugs. btw when u 1st had this, did this problem occur? anyways keep me posted or PM me. for some reason i like helpin u out, with ur fine sense of humor.
.....well it was fine in the begining, wen i bought it.....cuz i had left the phone charger at work... n it was over the weekend n was charging my phone off of the USB cable which i got along with me home..... but then wen i charged it for the first time all night with the wall charger.... its been stuck at damn 100%.. guess i charged it too much... n fried the sucker! lol... newho.... well ive installed 3rd party application now... ive actually got spb mobile shell... but still shows 100% everywhere..... ive tried hard reset.... tried draining the batt. completely and recharging it again... but nuffin works... took it to the LG service shop today.... damn idiot hadn't ever seen a LG windows phone... n kept pressing the camera button to wake the phone.... had to smack him in the head n told him to call someone who knows bout this phone... so yaaa he sed would have to check the software n ****.... im like do me a favor n get a spare battery lets have it checked with the spare batt. first and then we'll move onto checking the application... so waiting for 2-3 day suntil they get a spare batt. and then i guess will move on from there..... but yaaa another question still stand.....
i dunt hear the notification on incoming call while on a call.... any answers to that?
i hope u have smacked him good and also some sense into those ppl in those lame service centre. i kinda had the similar problem when i took ma laptop for checkup. those ppl didnt know how to move in computer management until i showed them and demanded a qualified personal.
anyways gettin back on topic. i think u may have charged it too well pal. i hope those service centre ppl remain as idiots to give u a replacement for ur battery or whichever in need. hehehe lets hope so.
anyhow ur 2nd problem aint less of a headache too. this problem is all over the forum. currently this is what i found. i wil do some more digging later and get back to u pal.

Any solutions?
I have the same problem with a Brazilian version of KS20 (it's called LG MS25 Genius)..
OS: Windows Mobile 6 5.2.1626
ROM: v10a
Bootloader: v10a
Firmware: V19a
ROM date: 2007-11-12
i know it's an old ROM, but i'm afraid to change.. MS25 have some limitations, like NO wifi and NO 3G hardware.. the processor still the same of KS20!
living in a 3d world country sucks.. =/

I have the same problem too. At beginning, it was the problem that I can't charge the battery to 100%, only 99%, so I brought it back to shop and ask for replace battery. After few days, I got it and now it stuck at 100% now. and all of sudden, it will turn off by itself. Guess run out of battery. Want to flash a new rom , but I am afraid it will lose warranty if I need send it back to LG

GB 2.3.5 Battery History Problem

Hi everybody,
after update to Gingerbread the Battery History isn working at my O3D! Every time i open it, it just start to count at one second.. do you have the same problem? Do anybody know a solution?
thanks
BNI
edit: see attachment
Yes, I saw it too. But battery life is good.
hmm .. no idea for fix it?
try delete batterystats.bin and reboot
had same problem
with the leaked versions
now with the oficiall update it is ok
My device shows that I am using battery for over one day without charging! That couldn't be possible because I updated about 3 hours ago! And the phone was charged via usb!
I also got problems with my wlan connection since the update! Connection aborts random times during surfing! That's sucks!!!
Other wlan devices got no problems with holding the connection!

Funnily my mobile is showing thay battery is on since 4 days where as i bought the mobile yesterday and i only have opened the seal of the box and battery and updated it to GB...lol
I updated with official lg updater and don't have such a problem (edit: nope, i have the same issue and it showed up after some time)
and I have diffident problem with battery history. Can you instal spare parts and check 'battery history'? For me it FCs. The same if I dial *#*#4636#*#* and tap on the battery history.
*Swyped in 3D *
Yes, after installing official GB i have the battery history problem. Somtimes shows few hours last charge even if just unplug it or somethings sticks to few secs even if i've the phone on for many mins.
Even wiped the battery status in recovery but to no avail.

When the phone dies due to battery drain it causes data loss

Hi,
Whenever my phone dies due to battery drain I lose contact information, texts and application settings and other settings.
It has been happening off late. It was fine some months back.
I am on 2.3.5 and my phone is still under warranty. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Never heard of anything like that before. Anyway try flashing a new firmware 2.3.6. GB and give it a shot.. If the issue still persists, a service Centre is the best option..
Try simple things to minimise battery drain like alway turn off wifi, 2g, 3g. Use it only when its required. Other time turn it off. Flash xxkpq firmware & use UC kernel. Also tweaks & governers will help u alot. Also sync of mail do it manually. Auto sync always take ur battery like hell.

Dude the problem here is the loss of data after (maybe) reboot.. Battery drain is not the issue..
So the best way to check if it is a hardware issue or not is to flash a new firmware.. No mods required...
And she's obviously new here so let's keep it simple.. Flash guides and the links to download the required roms in the stickies section..
I read recently that turning off journaling can cause data corruption/loss. are you running stock, or customized? some customized roms turn off journaling for better performance...
in addition, for better apparent performance, some roms also increase read ahead/write ahead or something like that. if you were doing something when your phone dies (and is unable to shutdown properly because you pushed it to the max), it can die in the middle of reading or writing, and especially in the case of writing, likely will cause data corruption/loss.
so, once again, let us know if you're running stock or custom, and why you insist on killing the battery while using the phone instead of shutting it of at 1% or 2% to prevent this from happening anymore

But I can't keep preventing my battery to run out. Why should a battery drain erase data? Obviously the problem is worse than just battery draining.

I don't wait for the battery to drain. When my battery is a little less than half at night, I wake up to find my phone turned off with the battery run out. And all of the mentioned data erased.
I have stock rom. Should I just update my fw to 2.3.6 and see?

A likely scenario here, which also occurred to me was that when kept overnight, the phone restarts automatically and gets into a boot loop (stuck at the samsung logo, and reboots over and over) thus draining the battery of whatever charge is left. And then once you switch it back on all personal data is erased, including settings, except installed apps.
What firmware are you using? This is surprisingly a very common issue nowadays, happens to many on GB, I have not heard of this happening on froyo as yet, but you never know! I myself have given in my handset for a motherboard replacement due to this!
So the issue might not be battery drain, just keep it unattended for a while and you will see its behavior! (Or wake up in the middle of the night! )

Well till now all those facing the problem couldn't solve it even with multiple wipes/firmware installs, so best bet is the service center, insist on a MB replacement on the 2nd visit, because the 1st time they will just do a firmware flash.
Make sure you are on Indian firmware DDKP1/KP2 with no trace of root including superuser and CWM.

that's different
your issue is not a loss of data due to battery dying, it's due to a hardware malfunction. take it to sammy!
same problem with me.. i heard its from the motherboard and internal memory.. i was using xxkpm then... At night i turn on wifi to update my apps on market.. its good, everything was updated, but tomorrow morning when i woke up i found my phone dead, so i charge it and when i open it, i was surprise to see that its asking me to pick a language again.. and yeah, all my contacts are gone, the messages, and the settings.. I thought its because of some apps that is update.. so i uninstall all my apps and then factory reset. but still same things happen everytime my phone is idle for awhile.. i also tried to flash xxkpq but same thing happens.. i still have warranty but is it ok if i go to samsung center with XXKPQ? or should i flash again to a lower version like 2.2.1??
