[Q] Worst battery life after upgrading to Gingerbread - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

I have recently upgraded my phone to Gingerbread JVKPB 2.3.6 with:
PDA: JVKPB
PHONE: JXKP3
CSC: JVKP7
After upgrading, my battery performance turned out to be worst than ever. Now I want to go to the previous version with much much better battery performance. Version numbers were as such:
PDA: KD1
PHONE: KA4
CSC: KC1 (TUR)
Any way do find this version of firmware?
Thank you in advance.

if you only just upgraded, your battery is out of calibration. read my sig links.

try callibrating ur battery first and then install juice defender and use it at aggresive or extreme settings
also install a good task killer, advanced task killer or gemini task killer widget(fo manual operation but fair effectiveness....)
all apps availbale in the market...
then use phone at low brightness and also screen timeout should be reduced to 15s.....display consumes most battery other than internet and location services...switch off all that u r not using and ur gud to go....
hope i helped

Battery Drain in HTC touch pro after flashing with Energy ROM

HI Friends,
Can anyone suggest what needs to be done as my HTC touch pro is unable to give atleast 1 day battery backup after flashing with Energy ROM.
Can listen to music nor brwose internet for long time.literally gives me half day batter backup.But before it used to give atleast 2 days.
Solution plZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Suggest a good ROM with good battery backup along with Energy kind of GUI.
What happend to you is that the rillphone version embended in the latest Energy ROM is not working proply with the radio ROM u have installed.
The solution is to install the appropiate rillphone for your radio ROM.

Reading goes a long way. But maybe I'm being a bit too presumptuous.
Did you by any chance actually take the time to read this section under post #6?:
BATTERY SAVING TIPS
The first few days
• There is nothing special about this ROM to make it use more power than other ROMs except that it is tweaked for performance over battery life. After things have settled down, you should get a couple of days usage out of a charge.
• Immediately after flashing, you will probably observe very poor battery performance. This is due to the charging circuit having to reset itself.
• The battery meter will not settle down and give accurate readings for a few battery cycles. Give it a few days.
• For the first few battery charging cycles, try to charge to 100% with phone off and then allow battery to drain down quite a bit before recharging. This is so the meter will calculate drain well.
Recommendations
• Make sure you followed all of the flashing instructions to the letter. Especially the part about the hard reset.
• Backlight is set to high. You might want to change that.
• 3G is on by default. Recommendation is to turn it off when you are not surfing the internet.
• Don't drain your batery all the way down until it dies. Not good for these types of batteries.
• The GPS sucks the battery dry. If you want to keep track of yourself, consider something like GPSToday that only wakes up the GPS once in a while.
• Maybe you don't really need aGPS enabled. Disable and check GPS lock times and battery drain.
• Applications that run from the storage card consume more power so install oft-used or background-type applications to main memory.
Troubleshooting
• If your radio does not match your rilphone.dll you can get crazy bad battery drainage. Use the recommended radio or spend some time working out a good combination for your phone/carrier/location/usage.
• Check to see that some application is not still running in the background. Check, do not assume. USe the full Task Manager application.
• Check to see if the screen is still on when you expect it to be off. Soft reset can fix that issue.
• Some radios work better with some carriers and locations. Asking everyone to tell you what radio to use may not give you the best answer. Be specific about your situation.
• More stuff you should see HERE
If you have tried all the above and still can't get over a day with moderate use, you may actually have a bad battery. Try getting a new one that is made by another manufacturer.
Friends,
My phone is unlocked
Please suggest if i can change the radio to latest one like this(BlackStone_Radio_1.17.25.09).the ROM that is there 1.13.25.24 is from april 2009.

Yes, my friend.
I have the same problem.
Flashed it 2 times with 2 different versions of Energy for the last 2 months ago, but it's still the same. I have the feeling this happened after Energy got the "multiple home screen interface".
can it be draining out the bat??

unless you bought olipro's cid unlocker, what you basically did is "unlocking" your hardspl, which is NOT what you're talking about
you basically can't flash radios of other devices in your touch pro, unless, ofcourse, you buy olipro's cid unlocker. But that doesn't really prevents the risk of bricking your phone.
Battery saving tips fine tweaked.
Use advanced config located in the tools folder of the latest energyrom...set all power management options to enabled, in the performance section file system filter should be set to 4096, system canche size to auto, file system cache enabled. Try to install programs that are used frequently to the internal memory storage rather than storage card. don't use 3g if you are not surfing. Backlight should be set to auto. After you flash any rom make sure you cycle your battery 3-5 full charge cycles before you deem it having poor battery draining.
As for radio to be safe from battery drain use same radio and rilphone.
I personally use which yields great performance and good battery
rilphone 1.14.25.35
raido 1.17.25.09
I live in chicago USA
Oh yeah...stay with energy

I have flashed My pro with Radio V.1.14.25.35 with the same rilphone.Will also try the advance config and test it for a while.
The battery problem is related to the 2.0 cookie which is still in Beta. There is a patch released which used to help a little bit, but in the last 21683 build it doesn't do much.
If you want your battery to last as before, install the ROM version without 2.0Cookie. There you will get a stable CHT v.1.8.5 and the battery will perform again as it should.

Don't waste your time fiddling with the caches. Any improvements observed are just placebos. The cache settings all have to be made in the boot.rgu of the rom prior to cooking the device. Also, cachesize (which is the tweak that advanced config tries to set) is an obsolete registry key that does nothing in WM5 and later. You can only successfully change the cache sizes post cooking and flashing with WM2003 devices.
Actually it is just the energy rom, I went from tael to energy and my battery life went to less then a day on standby. Went back to tael and the issue was gone. No it's not the radio because I always install .35 radio&ril after all new rom flashes (as well as the fact I use task29). If it was the charging circuit I'd have similar battery life with tael after I flashed it back from energy. But as it sits I can go quite sometime on standby (week?) with tael right after a flash. I can understand having less battery life but less than 24 hours on standby is certainly the rom itself. That's without 3G on since for whatever reason I can't get 3G on any phone that's not an iPhone.
Rom versions I used:
Energy.RAPHAEL.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.GTX.Nov.03
TAEL Sept17
TAEL rom is good..along with it i would prefer any other stable rom with good gui and battery backup...

[HELP] Battery drain too fast

i use SimplyII and Darkcore 2.2 on my cappy. But it drain from 100% to 60% in about 6h when i sleep i use darkcore2.2 and talon too, switch to Continuum but i still have the same issue.
In menu Battery use i see that android OS is 82%. please help.
Sr about my english
Did you disable the 100mz state? Do you have any apps/widgets running that would prevent the phone from sleeping?
no i don't disable it i have only a beautiful widget running
Download CPU spy from the market. That will help you see which state your phone is staying in the longest. You'll be able to see if it is going to sleep or not.
I would also download an app to monitor your running applications(watchdog is one).
It sounds like you have an app running ramopant, not allowing your phone to sleep. For me, Maps and Keep The Lights On were never allowing the system to sleep.
You can also go to Settings/About Phone/ Battery Usage. It should show you your top programs consuming the battery. Good Luck.
If i use phone only for messenging, calling nothing happen!!
But if I play a game which data >10MB, system will run at 1000MHz and continue to run though i completely close it If I reset phone, the problem will be solved. I have reinstall the ROM, switch to Continuum 5.4.1, dark core, talon... but i can't fix it.
Someone can help me how to install a Gingerbread

Freeze Google Maps with Titanium Backup.
I have installed Continuum 5.5 + darkcore 2.4 (stock 2.1 with boot i9000 => master clear => up), remove Googlemap but it's still draining my battery. Sometime the Android OS goes above 30%, cappy warm => hot => I must reset huhuhuhu

[Q] What tool apps do i need?

Well as the title says what tools do i need on a freshly updated and reset Samsung galaxy SII to make it work better and save more batterytime.
Or should i even use any?
Before reset and update my phone used an old version of battery saver XL and i had advanced task killer to kill all the things i didnt use.
Not even sure its the best so i could use some advise.

why isnt this in the Q & A thread
best bet and will save you loads of battery is to:
1. take off back cover.
2. remove battery
3. put backcover back on and stare at it
maybe now feel proud how long this will save you wondering how long your battery lasts
Or u can stop beening lazy and search the sg2 section for a million time question and you would of found this BATTERY SAVING TIPS hopefully that topic will teach you how to make a coffee with an old nokia
Flash a new ROM/Kernel, under clock, under volt, turn off auto brightness, reduce brightness, turn off sync, use push notifications, etc.

Juice Defder or Bitdefender Power Tune-Up or none?

Hi,
I am currently running on Pacman ROM and have Bitdefender Power Tune-Up installed. I was wondering should I switch to Juice Defender (due to the number of downloads + reviews) or remove both completely.
I am not on 3G, My WiFi, GPS, Autosync vibration is turned off.
Currently, I am gettlng like 1-1.5 days of usage with the above settings. Before this I was on Primo ROM, I could squeeze in like 2 days.
Any advise is helpful.
If you want the battery worked as long as possible do not use any task killers.
I am running PACman too and my battery works very good. It's android 4.2.2 google works many time to make Android good system
Task killers(TK) just kill battery faster than stock android. TK clean RAM from apps that they must start anew.
It isn't windows who must have lots of RAM to work fast. In Android RAM, the less the better
No task killers or juice defenders for me ....
And Mayex just explain it
Cheers !
Most effective way to save battery is Tasker
Other than that just use toggles properly, turning each function off when they're not in use. Battery saver apps have very little practical use, IMO.

Wifi & mobil network drains battery very fast

Hi.
I've changed my firmware to bacon_firmware_update_2016_1-25_.4.0.1.c7-00011.zip and that drained quite fast than th original one ( unfortunately i can't remember the name of the stock firmware ) then flashed MrSHME_bacon_firmware_update_2016_01_24 which drains even faster. Here is the stats from better battery stats and stock battery settings .
i'm using Resurrection Remix Marshmallow 5.7.4
Any ideas ?
Edit 1 : i installed bacon_firmware_oxygen_update_2016_01_22_.4.0.1.c7-00013 , any other recommendations or how to measure the drain caused by the firmware ?
firmware references : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/firmware-modem-oneplus-one-lollipop-t3300907
Try it out..
You may try out the following:
>PARANOID ROM
>SULTAN ROM (CM Based)
>STOCK ROM
Both the customs are very very stable and provide great results in terms of battery performance. Sultan has the ultimate results.
OR
You can use an app called DOZE which will increase your battery life SIGNIFICANTLY. Do allow the the apps like Whatsapp, etc which you want to run always. DOZE apps is like HIBERNATION OR STANDBY for your phone. Best doze app's icon would look like a OWL IN purple colour.
