[Q] Gingerbread 2.3.5 - Very High Battery Drain - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9003). After I updated to Gingerbread 2.3.5 via kies.
The battery performace is very poor. The battery doesn't lasts more than 12 hours.
I have
1. Disabled Auto Sync
2. Disable Background Check Data.
3. Minimal Display Brightness.
4. Turned Off Wi-Fi & GPS.
When i see the Battery Usage,
1. Android OS
2. Phone Idle
3. SNS
4. Software Update
5. Google Services
are the Top services eating my battery.
This is not the rooted phone. My question to you,
1. What else i should be doing to get better battery performance?
2. Is there a stable customised ROM i should be using?
Regards,
Vinay

Well, I am facing the same problem on my firmware, which is JPKP5. Waiting for some good GB firmware to come. Will flash my phone with it! That's what you should also do I believe

what rom? are u have factory reset, dalvik cache and wipe cache partition?

New G2X Checklist

Anyone able to give me some helpful todo's for my new G2X before I do anything with it? Some of these will not be G2X specific obviously. Anything that doesn't involve rooting would be nice. I'll root later on.
I've been told to let the battery die all the way down before charging it at all. Is there any truth in that?
Should I install any sort of battery metering software, or anything else of that sort?
I don't think it's necessary to initially drain the battery all the way down. For the first 5 charges, I fill it all the way up and drain it all the way down to calibrate the reading, despite the faulty LGE battery drivers. I also try to do this with the phone off.
After that I charge it normally whenever I need to.
I personally don't care for any battery-related apps, but I know a lot of people do.
you don't ever need to drain the battery all the way to calibrate it. just root and download BatteryCalibration from the market. it deletes the battery stats and thus insures the phone is reads the battery level accurately. the same can be done in clockworkrecovery
What other things would you guys be doing to prep a new phone?
Do you use any particular tools to do a full stock backup, etc? Pretend you are just cracking the box open and what to start off right.
when I get a new phone I...
-root
-flash clockworkrecoverymod from the dev section
-create a backup in clockwork
-delete battery stats in clockwork (assuming u charges to 100% first)
-install titanium backup pro
-freeze or delete any unwanted apps and services
-restore apps from previous phone (but never any system apps)
-use rom manager to fix permissions
-boot into clockwork again and make another backup
-use any file manager or rom manager to rename your backups however you see fit. I name the first one "factory backup" and the other "stock completely setup"
- use phone
well first thing i would do is put clock work mod on it using nvflash ( the newer version of cwm) then after thats on i would boot into that scroll down to backup and restore and backup my stock rom, now i have a backup of my stock rom, dont use rom manager that would be fake flashing it another words if u get into a sticky situation and are bootlooping u cant do **** about it, thats why u flash cwm with nvflash that way incase that happens u can hold power down and vol down and get into recovery......ok after installing recovery and making my stock backup i then would use super one click and root it and put pauls fix on it (paul obriens) hot fix, makes the phone faster and is stable, lg ****ed up somehow with boot up and he fixed it....ok so after that i would make one more backup of my rooted stock rom, now u have a backup of a pure stock rom and a backup of a rooted stock rom, now this way incase u needed to take the phone back to tmobile u would restore ur pure stock rom and all u would have to do was run nvflash and flash stock recovery and ur good. now the reason for the rooted stock backup is if u just wanna go back to stock for whatever reason, u wouldnt have to root it, it would already be rooted......that being said u have ur backups u have recovery and rooted now i would go explore with some roms and see which one is for u then when u find one u like stick with that then flash a custom kernel and so on and so on....sorry for the long post
and yes before u make any backups install titanium backup and backup all the apps u want this way if u install a new rom u can restore ur apps that u want on that new rom
Awesome post.

Well you should be at full charge when you wipe the stats... or how else will the phone know that the battery is at 60% = 60% not 60% = 40%. Start at 100%, wipe stats, then do a full drain until the dies. This will write stats of the true length of the battery.
I don't really think wiping the battery stats is even required but I would give it a few good full charge/drain cycles to tell the phone the full length of the battery; this is important for any device.
When I first got my phone, download root app+drivers, root, NVFlash ClockworkMod Recovery, BACKUP, full charge + battery wipe, cache wipe, flash, enjoy.
Or just enjoy Stock for a while. It is a new device and Stock works pretty well (at least it did for me). I like staying stock on a new device for a while so I know what to expect out of custom roms.
So I only have the internal memory at this point. Once I use CWM to perform the backup, should I grab the backup file(s) off of my device and archive them on my computer just in case something goes awry?
well of course you need to charge to 100% first. the whole reason the app and option in clockwork exists is because draining lithium ion batteries is unhealthy for battery. if you charge to100% and delete the stats it will read the battery correctly. I'm not saying a drain doesn't achieve the same result but as I said it is unhealthy for the battery.

Put on diet using System App remover or Titanium backup to freeze
cache cleaner NG (clean files)
flash Faux123 Stock Kernel .03 using Kernel Manager Pro
pimpmy cpu to OC to 1.4ghz
VM heapsize app to change heapsize to 48 (helps with graphics)
SD speed increase app (allows SD to read/write faster)
Paul's deox fix (its a little further down the pages in development section, it provides a froyo fix to make app listing and etc run smoother and faster)
Optimus 2x LED notfication (makes our hardware buttons flash when we get sms, mms, etc)
Systcl Config app (follow these settings)

dirty background ratio: 3
vfs cache pressure: 0
Oom allocating task: Enabled
Run Titanium Backup and clear out Dalvik files.
Use ADW EX and put on fast settings
Use spare parts app to turn off all transition or windows animation.
Note: Anim mod app can add different menu animations. I use this only because it gives a cool flip animation to the top task bar. Even if all animations are turned off.
I'm sure there are other ways about this but this is the easiest way to do things with apps instead of trying to use a terminal and etc.
Recommendation: Root tools has some good stuff but do not run fix permissions cuz it could lead to breaking your root. This kept happening to me when i used superone click and did that lol

Signal and speed is horrible.

I'm running cyanogenmod. Should I backup cyanogenmod, flash a sense rom and update my prl? Then restore back to my backed up rom?
Sent from my EVO Shift 4g using BASEDtalk
Is this something that just started happening or has it always been terrible? If it just started you can call Sprint and check for outages. It probably couldn't hurt to update your prl, i believe there was a update recently. Also, are you using the latest radios? Some say the new radio doesn't help but I actually saw a slight improvement in signal and speed after I updated.
Sent from Gingerbread Speedy 4G
+1 to what crump said. I personally saw a big improvemnet with the new radios. But you can also try THIS thread to improve 3G. This ONE is for 4G.
PRL or profile update wont make a difference and neither will the radio version.
Do the following:
1) Backup all of your apps/pictures/data/sdcard
2) Open ROM manager and flash the latest Clockwork recovery.
3) Download the latest nightly and google apps (there is a gapps828 at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ )
4) Wipe everything. Wipe /system , dalvik cache, cache, battery stats, and every folder under advanced.
5) Repartition SD card with 1024mb for EXT and max for swap.
6) Flash latest CM7 nightly and google apps.
7) Reboot phone, wait 10 minutes for dalvik cache to rebuild (spinning boot animation)
8) Cancel setup when it says welcome to Android. Do not add your google account yet.
9) Turn off auto restore from market under privacy settings
10) Change Cyanogenmod performance settings CPU governor to "ondemand" or "performance" with min cpu speed of 200mhz and max cpu speed of 1500mhz.
11) Make sure Maps, Gmail, Talk and Voice are installed.
Let me know how that works for you.
Doing this fixed my GPS/Wifi/4G issues. Sometimes you just have to COMPLETELY wipe EVERYTHING and when you flash by just installing the latest nightly some settings might get screwed up.

Good thanks any plans on upgrading froyo to gingerbread?
How did you test and therefore claim it is the fastest rom?
There is no test. But this is my observation with so many roms of Froyo and Gingerbread.
After comparing both the OS, I found froyo to be more stable on Defy and hence worked out this rom.
I tested this on quadrant score of 1393 and the GPS fix is done in 9 seconds
the camera gets the location in 3 seconds... Also camera is more responsive in this rom.
After Installing, install your favourite browser and favourite file browser as I have removed the stock browser and file manager as Market has much better options.
If I keep them, they will unnecessarily be seen in the menu and eat RAM/Battery and many guys dont use them. Hence decided to remove them.
appreciate your efforts in bringing this up... and hope that it better than the stock froyo. However would be kind if you could provide more details on your ROM.
Many would like to understand the difference between this and the others available before jumping onto the rom.
I experience on IN Stock Froyo has been disappointing and the reason I had to switch to CM 7x
Thanks.
Can I install CM7 or MIUI over this ROM? Will it have the new kernel?
Thanks!

[Q] Battery Problems on all new ROMS

On the latest Synergy, Clean ROM, etc., my battery life has absolutely tanked. Within about 1.5, hours, I'm down 25%. Battery usually dies within 5 hours of disconnecting. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running Clean Rom now - which used to be great. Should I try a different kernel? Any help would be really appreciated!

Try completing all of these steps in your custom recovery before installing your rom:
1. wipe your data
2. Wipe your cache
3. Wipe your delvik cache(in advance menu),
4. format /system in mounts and storage
5. Flash rom
6. Flash Gapps immediately after(unless dev specifies differently)
Hopefully this helps. Try using the rom for a few days and if this doesn't help:
1. Check for what's draining in the battery section of your device
2. Flash stock rom and see if battery persists.
What does your battery info say about what's using the battery? Install GSam Battery for more detailed info about what's using the battery.

step 4, format system. I didn't do this when moving from stock to CleanROM 6 R2. Is it necessary?
you shoud if switching from AOSP 4.2 roms to touchwiz roms.
Always format system when changing between any ROMS. Should always do a clean install. EPECIALLY BETWEEN DIFFERENT BUILDS.

I'm having major battery drain even with clean installs. It looks like almost all of my power is being drained by "Media". It seems to be some type of ongoing data transfer and/or download. Under the packages, "com.sec.android.providers.downloads," "Media Storage," "Downloads," "DRM Protected Content Storage," and "Downloads" are listed.
Any ideas?
Just kill it

You probably have either bad SD card or some bad media files. ROMs don;t make much difference in battery life, its usually a renegade app, poor signal area or bad SD card if your install is good.
First, backup all the important stuff without nandroid.
Now, wipe the system, the internal storage, the caches, factory reset, and anything else I didn't mention. Now install the rom. I recently had a major issue with my battery useage, which was caused by internal data corruption. I solved it by ODINing back to stock, reflashing the PIT file for my specific phone, and OTAing back to stock. Good luck.

NoobROM 4.4.4 CM/AOSP based KitKat for Blaze 4G

Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you brick, fry, or otherwise destroy your device as a result of flashing this ROM. I will not claim liability or replace your device. All features included in this ROM are properties of their respective owners, I merely assembled them into one place.
Changelog:
1/10/2016 - First beta/testing release
Planned features:
-Better DSP manager
-New default background
-possible shutdown sequence
-Flash Player support
-maybe 2.0GHz clock rate if it doesn't burn my device
-Tweak battery/4G
-Button light fix
-AOSP KitKat launcher

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.
Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?

My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.
Every time I try to install setup wizard fails and the phone doesn't fully boot correctly. Any suggestions??

If it's the Cyanogenmod setup wizard, I cannot help, as I said development has been halted until I can get another Blaze.
It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.
I can't seem to be able to clear the defaults for Launcher so that I enable a new one. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?

Go to Settings and then go to Home, there you can change what launcher you use.

Sorry, I should have said, I tried looking there too, I don't have a home option anywhere in settings, not under personalization, or anywhere else that I can find.

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?
By the way, the thanks button is right at the bottom of all of my posts.

Havent used it much, everytime I try and install, I get the error of Setupwizard force close and can never set up the ROM. When is your Blaze arriving? Any chances we will get any new updates or advances? I will try and reinstall today.

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.
