Hey Guys today i got a brand new Samsung Battery for 560INR with 6 months warrenty... The shop girl adviced me to do the following
1) Switch off the mobile and charge for 8 hours
2) Use mobile till the battery completely drains
3) Again switch off the mobile and charge it for 8 hours...
Anything else to be followed...Because i am expecting a 2 days backup from my new one...Guide me guys...
I don't believe it helps, but you can try wiping batterystats after its fully charged(after 8 hrs), then use the phone to 0% and do the same thing. If you don't do that, its fine too, I don't ddidnt do that on my galaxy 3 and has at least 2 days of backup so far
Cheers

Not too much charge for the first day
Not repeat charge before it drains completely
Not use while charging especially internet (though it's difficult for me)

Hey guys, so I'm running Mango 7712, and my Samsung Focus battery only lasts for like 2 hours of actual use. For every 10 minutes of using the phone my battery loses up to 8%, and this is while not playing games or doing anything stressful to the battery. I can probably max out at 6 hours if I don't use the phone.
I don't have the best memory, but I remember my phone being able to last 4 or 5 hours of actual use. But I could be wrong, if you have a Focus, is it as bad as mine? Should I buy a new OEM battery? (And I've tried to recalibrate it, that didn't work, I think it made it worse actually)
Nope just you, my focus has amazing battery. Best out of any smartphone I've owned actually, it can easily last me two days of moderate use... one full day with heavy use (around 15 hours of heavy browsing with music and stuff.)
Im using stock NoDo though, dark background/theme auto backlight. Don't know if mango could have anything to do with your issues.
I have both omnia 7 and hd7 .
Funny thing is that both battery life last the same when surfing continously on 3g.

Yeah I dunno what's up with mine, it used to get me through the day before, now it just sucks. I've heard people say that Mango increased their battery life though. I'm gonna try buying a new OEM battery and see if that helps.
These phones have been out for less than a year so should be under warranty. I have had a weird anamoly a couple of times with my Focus though. Fully charged and when I rebooted it gave me low battery warning. Took battery out and back in and was back to normal. Has happened 3 times in the last 4 months.

That happened to me too! Like it was stuck at 1% even though it truly had 30% left, I left it like that until it died, and then it went back to normal.
Mine isn't bad. A far cry better than my 3gs. I can get about 10 to 13 hours of decent usage. It does go down to about 8 hours if I have music playing for most of the day.

Hi Ryken,
How old is the SIM card that you are using? I have read in other parts of the forum that people have had decreased battery life issues when using an old SIM, once they had it replaced with a new one the battery life increased considerably.
Hope this helps,
Creamy
This usually happens when flashing a new ROM - you need to let your battery recalibrate itself. There are a few examples of this in the forums.
if yr sim card is around 2 years or more, it may have worn out. the gold contacts may have worn out, so change to a newer one
I did this an dmy battery life has been great
yr sim card works 24 hours 7 days a week for 2 years, just imagine how much of a beating it has taken .
Well my sim card is 10 months old, I got it with my phone last November when WP7 launched. Is that old enough to be bad? I've bought a new Samsung battery, it should arrive tomorrow or Thursday, I'll tell you guys how that goes for me?

10 months is nothing to worry about
My Galaxy 3 battery is behaving quite strange for a month. Problem is my battery never gets above 4181mv which is why I never gets full charge of 4200mv and then it goes to 0 at 3650mV which if we do some maths should be 45%. The problem is due to this i am not able to get full backup, hence no proper calibration. My battery now lasts for hour. Sometimes there is sudden drop from 60% to 0 at 3705mV. I need to know if there is any solution to this before forcing me to buy a new battery. My current battery is 9 months old which came with phone.

If you can't do that then straight up, get a new battery. Because this should fix it.
Hi everyone, might of had this before but everyones seems to be a little different
I have the Galaxy i5800, (Galaxy 3/Apollo) and it was always fantastic, battery life, lag-free for the whole year i've had it.
I am running the Kyrillos' rom v10.6 which is CM7.2 based.
Since a few weeks ago, the battery has just been draining, like a hour of battery life even just in sleep mode, i have wiped Battery Stats, Cache (partition and the dalvik one), Factory Reset, pretty much everything in recovery mode. charged battery for 6-9 hours overnight from 0%. no difference, will still just drain drain drain.
Also, if you use the phone for a good 5 - 10 minutes doing for instance browsing the internet (Opera Mini) the phone will just turn off instantly (possible overheating CPU?)
I am not using GPS Wi-Fi, sometimes not even data network (3G). i don't understand how the battery is draining so fast, i have tried stock
2.1 and 2.2 roms and the same thing happened with those.
is it a problem with the phone (CPU or whatever) or the actual battery?
Sorry for the ramble but just wondered if the good lads on XDA could help! Thanks.
I too had the same issue,its due to your battery perhaps I changed my battery and now battery life is great(by great I mean 3 days approx)

me too, help
i using CM7.2...this error: (
i've just bought a new charger and battery, the charger has already come, and for some reason battery has already increased haha!
got them both for under ten pounds altogether from amazon, really pleased with that
also flashed the phone back to stock 2.2 JPU firmware! can't complain really, might root it at some point but not too sure as i'm getting a nexus 4 when come back in stock!!
i will just use this phone as a backup phone or phone for download festival !
That may be a problem of battery as I changed by battery to a new one then it works awsm.....
From my awsm Galaxy 3.....
sounds like a problem with the battery.
it happened to me because of overflashing during development work.
replacing battery worked awesome!!
the battery is pulling out 1.5 to 2 days with wifi on half of the time
Hello! Last night my Nexus 5 was charging by itself overnight, i bought the phone second hand 2 days ago(the phone have 4 months of use). What is the problem? My battery life is pretty good, i'm on completly stock rom unrooted. Also 10 min ago my phone charged from 5% to 6% by itself.
It is the battery stats recalibrating. It is weird because what it does is estimate how much each thing should draw not how much is actually drawn or something. It is a weird calculation and is why they had Miscellaneous drain in the preview build.

I call BS. You have to be rooted to break the laws of thermodynamics. :silly:
when you use the phone, it uses battery. when the battery is used, it estimates its use. sometimes itll drop the battery percent lower than it should. so what it does is raise the battery percent slowly, until it gets back to the percent it used to be. this has happened on every single android phone since the g1 was released in 2008. so, you arent special :silly:

Hi guys,
today i updated my OP 8 to OOS 11.0.2.2 and noticed a very fast battery drain...
Anyone else with this problem here (and maybe a solution ?)???
Should i rollback to OOS 10 and wait a few more update?
Thx a lot and greetings!
@stefan.irmen
How long after installing Android 11 on your OnePlus 8 did you notice this strange battery drain? If you noticed this during your first battery cycle I would wait and see what happens once you charge up again. See if it still seems strange. I've had my phone's have crazy drain during cycle one after flashing something new then afterwards never had it occur again.
I know you more than likely already know this since you are on XDA but I always only charge my devices until they're done and immediately take them off the charger and I only ever use the same exact charger that came with my devices because others aren't made for it properly and many generic chargers don't get any tests ran to make sure they're truly whatever the description says they are on their packaging.
I installed it today in the morning on 8 am and noticed it the whole day... After installing the update i did some new settings and after all i cleared cache and did a restart...
But you are right, i will charge my device now over night and will have a look about it the next days... Then i will make a short report if it is better ;-)
Taking off the device after charging isnt easy for me, because i often have to charge it over night when i sleep... But didnt have such draining problems over years with a lot of devices (except Apple )!

I use a OnePlus 6t now and the Dash wall charger and it takes me less than an hour to charge it every night. I just plug up when I get home in the evening and grab it a hour later and take it off and let it idle all night and get up next day and grab it and go. I'm at 98-99% from 100% by next morning. I use this way I charge up to kinda keep ma eye on my idle drain as well in case I have any rouge apps, I'd know when I wake up. I always flip data and all off just before I go to sleep. I'm sure your OnePlus 8 gets better battery life than my two year old OnePlus 6t does but I'm a BIG battery guru. To me, battery life is vital. I clear 7-8 hours SOT on my 6t depending on what all I do with it. When I'm off work I probably get 6-7 hours SOT and 20-25 hours total before I end up plugging it in again. I never plug up at night in single digits, my battery is usually 15-20% when I plug her in to my OnePlus Dash wall charger. I set things up from within my phone to be aggressive far as doze goes. (I use naptime & servicely apps) I know these OnePlus phones don't even need any extra tweaking far as battery goes but when I started modding Android back on Nexus S I first came to XDA trying to get my Samsung Galaxy S2 to get better battery life. I never would have imagined I would from that day forward read XDA news and go over whatever device I'm using at the times forum.
I didn't know I even was interested in computers, software development.. Coming here and reading is something I've done daily for hours since the Nexus S days.. Besides things like brushing my teeth and taking a shower, you know usually common human things, XDA has been probably one of the only things I've done daily all those years and never gotten tired of it.
(Edited typo)
Thanks for your large answer and the little look in your interests ;-)
So far i'm using my device today, everything seems normal, lets have a look on it in the evening...
It's very exemplary how you use and treat your battery - but i'm sure 99% of the user (including me) don't do that... And i think we don't want this, because -for me- my phone is a daily driver and i'm using it every day for a lot of things - if the battery lasts 1-2 years its quiet enough! After that time i will have a newer phone Mostly after one year ;-)
