hello,
i have I5801 galaxy 3..
currently on kies Froyo firmware..
from since flashing to froyo ..
1) whenever i talk on phone (ie do voice call) battery drains out in even less then a hour when fully charged..
2) when kept for charging.. even if battery shows like 10% remaining .. within like a min or two.. battery indicator shows an 100% charged status.
and it drains out in like 10 mins if removed from charging
what i think is somehow froyo is assuming it's charged and is stopping the charging process.
i've rooted it, and tried calibration.. still no luck.. I've deleted batterystats.bin regularly, still a new file is created and no change in battery condition is seen
plz help.. too much frustrated
PS: i am not a pro.. so help plz

don't delete batterystats.bin do some full charge discharge then report.
tried that.. still no change
battery drained off in 30-40 mins..
does ATK make battery drain? somewhere along on some phone someone said that draining battery to nil and charging back cycle makes battery life even shorter.. dunno what to do..

Calibrate your battery after doing a full charge. And use as "normal" for few normal cycles, just like you usually did.

Hi
Try using light version of g3mod kernel instead of oc based.
You can flash your phone with my Rom and test after full battery charge. note some apps are battery drainer like tweetcaster etc due to continuous sync.
Try to stop those services and test your phone thereafter..it will show improvement. .and dont delete any battery calibration seetting once done after you flash thats all.
Do let me know if it not happens.
Cheers.

i flashed g3mod-2.0-nonoc
still when i try to put it to charge..
say currently it shows like 40% charge.. but as soon as i put it on charging (via AC) .. it shoots up directly to 90-100 in two minutes.... this should be wrong, right?
darin rate is also bad
it showed 100% charged and a 3 min call .. made battery level goto 45%

Humm.. Strange..! U sure the other battery dsnt got any prob??
Ok try this .. convert all partition to rfs & flash any stock ROM with stock kernel.. Use Ur phone like that 2-3days.. See if any improvement..

err STOCK kernel means official right?
also how to convert parition to rfs.. is this about partitioning SDcard? coz if it is i've tried using without any card insert .. still same
i was thinking about G3mod 2.0 Beta2 kernel .. heard it uses very less battery..
but i've got a question ( and i can't ask in development forum as per post limitation) that does the 2.0 Beta2 uses less battery than the official samsung jp6 kernel? or should i try flashing that?
(now i may look like stupid asking these question)
first of all, sorry for bumping this after a month..
actually G3 wasnt with me from then, now it's back and problem persists
what i notice is that
1) phone when put to charge, shoots up to 100% in 5-10 mins, even when off
2) and same with the drain, it goes to 1% in 5-10mins
i checked out with battery, and it is fine they(samsung service center) say,..
plz help, i am at question as to what is the reason for this sudden rise and fall of battery level.
if u got a costum rom use battery calibration from the market its free it fix the drains happend whit me to

nope... i had used it before but now i am currently on I5801DDJP6 updated from 2.1 eclair via kies
its stock,unrooted, no modifications..
i'd calibrate battery, but the fact that it shoots up t0 100% in 10 mins
and what i guess is when phone detects 100% battery, it pretty much stops charging after that, thus battery starves ..
can something be done so that it actually gets accurate reading on battery status ?
Switch off your cell...let it full charge....
Then switch on the device and flash the cyanogen mod...
Its fast,stable and also increases the battery power...
had the exact same problem...did that and now works for almost two days...

It may be possible that your battery may have gone bad and you need to replace it

cyanogenMod site doesnt show Galaxy 3 support...
btw u are saying ROM or kernel?? coz i like stock ROM of samsung as it's easy to use
@bscraze i contacted service center.. they say battery's good and doesn't need replacement...
hey i discharged until phone switched itself off couple of times
and charged it back to 100% while phone was off and then again when ON..
then, i increased brightness,turned on wifi,bluetooh,gps,etc and it dropped to 90% ..
as it is stock rom i think it was between 90-100% (coz with 1% mod)
but as soon as a call came, which was of 2:38 seconds, my phone battery dropped off to 3%
any guesses, why this is happening?

what i have been able to detect from last two days is,
that battery fall is severe only when on voice call,
i have been playing music,games without much battery drain
but a mere voice call with everything off (GPS,bluetooh,dataconntection) for not more than 10 mins, drains battery by 20-30%
any ideas about it's reason??

Check out which app uses more battery in battery - settings - usage. That particular process may use more battery than others.
I have a similar problem with my G3 - I'm running CM 6.2
While I checked the OS takes 76% of the battery. I found CM6.2 better in handling FC than 7.1..Or should i just go back to Cm 7.1??
Experts, please advice
Hello everyone. its long since i posted here and thats bcoz of only one reason .. battery problem with my phone. i really was getting pissed off by the issue that i stopped posting here .. cursing my bad old phone.. my battery was lasting near abt 6-10 hrs lately .. finally i decided to..
1. flash eclair (stock) JG6 which came along at the time of my purchase and had reasonable to good batt back up. flashed that and i was like 18-24hrs of batt backup. Used it for almost one week. and as i was surfing thru our threads.. saw some really encouraging post abt Kyrillos 9.3 and its battery backup. so..
2. I flashed kyrillos 9.3 for last 3 days .. and did the calibration on my very first charging after flashing 9.3.. yesterday got almost 36 hrs of batt backup .. right now m on 84%.. unplugged @ 8pm yesterday .. it 10:15am right now in india. so its around 14 hrs .. which i feel is quite good considering my past exp with my battery ..
I dont know what actually has done the trick or its illusion to me . but after flashing eclair my phone performance has gone up smartly.
Using 9.3 NON-OC. with a2sd enabled.
i hope it can help ppl abt our all confusing battery issue .. if not .. at least it can throw some light ...
Press the thanks button if u find it helpful. Hve a gr8 day.
Hi, I flashed the Malice II Beta ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 last week. I love the ROM, but one major problem is that the battery drains extremely quickly. With data and wifi on, I lose one percent per every 2 minutes, and that's without apps open. Might I point out that I did calibrate my battery and the Malice ROM is said to increase battery life. I am currently going to flash on a different ROM (Juggernaut) and see if the problem persists.
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)

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
I recently rooted my Nexus 5 and flashed stock clockworkmod. Since doing that I have noticed my battery is dying incredibly fast. I could get through a whole day on a full charge and now it's down to about half that. According to the battery stats the screen and system is taking up the most time. The screen has been on 2 hours and only been off charger for 6 and the battery is currently at 20%. I have tried a few battery calibration apps and such but nothing seems to fix the problem. Had a similar problem with the Samsung GS3 after rooting...any tips to get better battery life after root and not worse? Thanks!
P.S. Also been running greenify root for apps that don't need constant internet access.

Many users claim to get great battery life with the Franco Kernel. They say its better than stock.
Disclaimer: I'm 100% stock and unrooted so I can't vouch.

I think I would reset back to out of the box and start over. My experience has been the opposite. I did everything with Wugs nexus root toolbox ,its near dummy proof for guys like me

For us to help you post screenshots of your better battery stats logs.
Which method did you use for root? I don't think rooting actually causes a drain in battery life but I could be wrong
Just rooting won't have any impact on battery. Could be apps that you installed.
Had the same issue as well with Franco kernel. Started from scratch, meaning unroot, lock. Then unlocked and rooted again. Performed factory reset and installed app by app. Took a few days but battery life is good now.

Download wake lock dectector and see if you have got any ridiculous wakelocks. That's usually the issue with horrible battery life.
