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%

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...

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.
Hello,
I know such tread were posted several time before and i read all of them but i did not find any solutions to my problem. My battery drain is really bad with stock battery, Anker battery, Mugen and others.
Battery darins like 1% per minute or 5 minutes even if Data,Wifi,Sync are off and i the phone not used at all.
So far i have tried the following:
1) Installing different ROMs (I even tried installing the ROMs and not adding any new applications and not modifying any settings to see if it is a problem with an app i have or ROM). So i flash a ROM and leave it as it is, without isntalling anything, but battery drain is still very bad
2) I have tried calibrating (charging 100% and wiping stats) several times
3) I have tried different batteries including Mugen and Anker.
4) I tried those all together several times..
5) I have tried better Battery stats and battery widget to check whats wrong but did not find anything unusual.
6) i have tired to charge my battery longer than ususal (to make sure it is 100%)
battery Usage says 89% of battery is used by Android OS
I suspect this might be a hardware problem but how can i check this? and is it possible to fix? Maybe i should go to recovery and check how long does it take for the battery to go from 100% to say 5% ? but i need some figures to compare with.
so my questions are:
A) Did anyone have similar problems? if yes were you able to fix ?
B) How can i check if there is a hardware problem with my battery connection or something else that might cause battery drain
C) Can anyone let me know how long does it take for the battery to go from 100% to 5% (or 10% or 20%) if the phone is all the time in recovery mode?
D) Can the charger be the problem? I am using stadard Sensation charger..
Any help and advice will be highly appreciated
Thank you
I don't know how long it takes for the battery to go from 100 to 5% in recovery but I've forgotten my phone at home and not plugged in the charger and it has lasted all day.
Do you just test right after the installation of a rom? My battery usually drains fast after I flash a new rom but I'll let it go from full to dead then charge it overnight and the battery will last way longer after that charge.

do you use Titanium Backup? if so, find the app called "Google Backup Transport" and back it up real quick. then delete it, reboot into recovery and wipe dalvik + cache. then reboot the phone to see if that helps.(wait 2-3 days) back on the MT4G there was an issue where that app caused the Android OS to use a lot of the battery, might work here too in your case.
Hello,
I am still having the problem with my battery drain. I have tried finding Google Backup in Titanium Backup but it was not listed.
However, checking the battery use Android OS takes more that 85%...
I have installed another ROM.
Android OS now disappeared compltely. and it is Cell Standby that is eating all the juice now... But the battery drain is the same. I think the battary Usage indicator does not give any usefull information on what is using the battery..
But the bettery is getting quite warm... and continues to discharge. I just charged to 100% and went asleep. When I woke up next day after 8 hours I onli had 20% of battery remained... WiFi, Data, GPS were switched off.

what rom do you have installed now? if your problems keeps happening after switching roms, theres probably 1 of 2 problems. Bad battery (Im canceling this out because you said youve used multiple batteries) or a rogue app that is running in the background, killing your battery
also, have you tried formatting your SD card? save all the important stuff and try formatting it, then transfer all the data you saved back to the card
You should try changing your charger. Once I bought a new charger from ebay and I had a lot of probs, the phone took forever to charge, it got hot when charging, the battery would hold less charge.
I suggest you try deleting system,cache,userdata,boot with fastboot commander.Here The instructions to use it:
-download tool
-unpack zip and click on .exe application (is a stand alone app, so you have to click and confirm installation, that's all!)
-open tool
-put DHD in "Fastboot Mode"
-plug it to your pc usb
-Wait for "print of device succesfull"--(if fails, check your sdk driver)
-here you go to "misc"
-select: erase partitions (system,cache,userdata,boot) Don't select recovery
-click on "Erase chosen partition"--
-Done
-manually reboot dhd to recovery
-don't care about error message like E:/can't found recovery log" or something like this.
(It's just recovery wich telling you that partitions are not mounted!)
-So wipe data factory reset to re-mount partitions, otherwise you can't flash anything!
-now flash your rom
this way you are sure that your phone is completely wiped! And when I said completely I mean COMPLETELY!! (except for recovery)
This tool is very useful to solves strange issues that a normal wipe cannot solve! Sometimes happen
Last but not least you could try updating your recovery to the latest version.
Hope you solve your problems:good:
Hello,
1) Yes i tried 3-4 different batteries. Is it possible they all are damaged? By say damaged charger?
2) As for charger, will USB charger work fine (connected to PC) ? Currently I am using the wall charger, but i do not have a sapre one to try.
3) I will try to wipe everything using the tool provided. Thank you.....
I think I already have latest recovery.
P.S currently I am swothching between MIUI roms, but i had ARHD and other roms before that with smae problem...
Do you spend a lot of time in an area with bad cell reception? If so it will spend a lot of battery constantly trying to ping a cell tower.

If you want you can try using my combination of rom/kernel, you can find them in my signature, I myself had battery problems, but with my Anker and this configuration I get 24 hours of medium usage. Yes the USB charger will do the job and just check if your wall charger has the right output voltage (5v).
Another thing you could do is download this app from Playstore Battery Monitor Widget. It shows the current mA drain/charge.If you see that battery drain is strangely high (example 200mA in standby than your problem isn't the battery/charger. I get a drainage of 3-10mA in standby, which is pretty good. Good luck finding the couprit:good:
Thank you all for your advice!
1) as for ROM i do not think any other ROM/Kernel is going to make a difference. I tried to many of them by now. And I do not think ANY rom is so bad to drain 10-15% per hour while phone is not in use
2) i tried different SD cards and tried pulling out the SD completely, so it should not be the case...
3) I am in good reception area. In fact the phone used to work just fine in the same area when i just bought it... but then something went wrong (cannot find what)
4) If it is an application - than should be something inbuilt in the ROM. because I have tried installin ROM and keeping it clean without installing anything at all. not even changing settings... but the problem was still there...
and 5) I am using Battery Monitor Widget and it is between -35mA and -75mA.
Seems too much but I still cannot find the cause..
IT seems that i also have this issue!!!
using 2 sense 4 roms and my battery usage never ever come down to -40mA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can not find culprit yet...
really annoying
I have learned a lot about my device since i bought it. The only thing I cannot figure out is the details about the Radio, and which one is the best for me. Can it be that the problems with battery are caused by radio?
What are three best radios to use with JB MIUI Member's choice and othe MIUI Roms?
Thanks
It seems like it was Radio after all.
I have checked my version and it was displayed as N/A instead of 11.68
so i reinstalled the radio and it seems like the problem is solved. at least today i have no problems. I will see if it will be fine tommorow and thereafter..

hmm thats weird? has your data connection gotten any better after changing radios, or is it still the same? good to hear you fixed the battery drain
Hello,
not the connection 3g, data. wi-fi works just as it used to work - just fine. The only thing that changed is that the battery does not die within few hours.
in standby - i have now easily more than 24 hours....
It seems liek the problem is back again. I did not isntall anything new or changed any settings. but suddenly i woke up with 40% of battery on my phone istead of 100%..
it really start to irritate me. There is nothin i mgiht have done to cause this. But the phone is noticabely warmer when it eats the battery for no reason....
Android OS is responsible for 83% of battery drain. While battery life was OK it only had 2-3%...
PS
Today i lost 60% of battery (from 100% to 40%) while sleeping and my phone not used.

Try installing CPU Spy from Play Store and see if the phone is in deep sleep while not being used. Although this tool doesn't give a lot of information, but at least the 1st thing we can see from this tool is whether the CPU is put into deep sleep while the phone is sleeping. Losing 60% while sleeping is very likely that the CPU didn't go into deep sleep state. So this tool should give you some indication. If the CPU ever goes into deep sleep, you'll see the Deep Sleep entry below 192Mhz.
Hello!
First post in a while, so if I need to change anything just say.
I have recently put on BOA v5.2 and also stock 4.2.2, however I am having battery calibration issues :\
I thought it was BOA's problem, but then I flashed the stock 4.2.2 RUU and it was still being weird.
Any solution? Tried the root battery calibration app, doesnt work. As soon as I unplug it shows 90%.
Battery life seems okay-ish, but I just want a proper battery percentage.
Thanks heaps in advanced!
Empty the battery wholly, then try to reboot without charging, and then let it go down again, then charge up for 3hours, off and reboot and charge again.
This is the method adviced by HTC

Hey thanks for the reply
Unfortunately as soon as I unplug the phone the battery drops to 90% still...but at least battery life improved a little
Is there something wrong with the kernel/rom? I saw some other people experiencing the same problem, haven't seen a solution yet.

This issue is mainly because this rom is not perfect , while installing the rom. its done from the phone . and what happends is that this rom cannot write the program for bios chip properly . so wat happends is tat the voltage varies . so there vl be a lag of 5% of battery charge . and due to this voltage problem the mic also wont work well . u cannot fix this issue by any app better to change back to your old rom .
and ''one important " thing to be taken care off, u should not allow ur phone battery charge below 5% make it 10% dont go below this .suppose it happend and the phone went off dont ever try to turn on ur phone , that may end up in disaster . if the battery is fully empty and if you try to on again there is a possibility to erase the bios memory which leads ur phone to be dead forever. so suppose battery get low below 10% and went off put in charger for a while then turn on . i installed this same rom in my phone but i dint try this but this is a possibility so take care.

Hi,
My phone is almost not charging full or it doesn't show as such.
This is detailed breakup of my issue :
I put phone at charging exactly at 2pm at 2%
3pm it was at 36%
4pm it was 54%
5pm it was at 64%
6pm it was at 73%
7pm it was at 82%
7:30pm it was at 84%
after this I removed phone from charging and rebooted it. Surprisingly it showed 100%.
Battery doesn't last more than 12hrs no matter what I do. I am using Greenify too.
BT, GPS, Auto-Sync, 3G, etc all are off. WiFi On 24hrs.
Screen-off battery drain is also around 8-9% per hour.
Can I do/try something on software side before I order a new battery ?
Right now I am on Carbon ROM (20131008) with stock kernel, 1512, Ondemand, SIO, No OC. Its same on every ROM I tried except seemingly on ARHD 7.3 (used it less than 24hrs. Its rock solid and smooth.)
I would greatly appreciate any help/advice !
I also has this issue still looking for the solution

the battery misreading while charging is a common htc's fault after rooting and there is no solution yet
i have the same thing while charging my device
but the difference is i don't have that fast drain
how old is your battery?
did you try a different battery?
make sure it fits correctly to the pins
Battery is just 1yr old. Yup I checked the pins. They are correctly fit.

this is a rom issue i think as this has also happened to many people and and this happens after many days on a single rom (and u make the rom unstable)
the solution is simple just backup ur data and full wipe and flash rom again and u will be good to do for next many days (if u keep the rom stable)
I flash ROM almost every alternative day and I always do Full-Wipe

I am new to xda. I actually flashed a new rom after that phone doesn't charge after switching off. Could it be a kernel issue or the rom's issue. I have a Canvas HD. And sorry if this is not the place to ask the question. I couldn't find any other thread related to this. Please help.
Similar issue here. My charging often stops at about 80%, but after a reboot the battery's full charged.
My battery also gets drained very fast, but it's about 2,5 years old so that's probably the problem.
With the CPU clock speed @1,5GHz and the GPU @266MHz i get about 15h +/-2h of battery life.
I keep battery saving ON most of the time. Bluetooth, GPS, 3G etc all OFF. WiFi ON for about 1-2h per day (if i would keep it on longer, my phone would be dead in 4-5h).
I'm using ViperS 5.2.1 right now (full wiped before install). I got the same experience on ARHD and previous ViperS versions.
Tested the charger - it's fine.
I was wondering if anybody else got an old battery like mine and how long does it last on full charge
Hi guys,
I have a HTC Sensation XE that i bought three days ago (second hand) and i have the same problem with the battery % not reading correctly.
Now this is what i observed:
- the charging is very slow - from 20% to 40% in 2-3 hours
- after 2-3 hours of charging if i reboot the phone the charging LED turns green and the battery reading says 100%.
(i tested to see if actually it got charged to 100% and it did, i turned everything on, watched a HD movie, played some games and after 5-6 hours of playing with it i still had 50%)
- tested the battery to see how fast it drains from 10% to shut down and it went on at full brightness and everything on for about an hour and something so this means there might not be any problems with the battery
- so the reading is wrong because the battery is charged after a few hours.
- i did a test to see if the same thing happens when the phone is off and i left it to charge for 2-3 hours and when i got back the charging LED was still orange. When i started the phone the LED went off and back on as green. The battery was 100% charged.
- If the same behavior happens in off mode it means it's not a ROM problem (by the way from what i know the phone is stock, the guy never did the rooting.....that's what he told me - can't know for sure).
- from my electronics background it seems the phone updates the battery information sometime at boottime. When charging, the software keeps the charging LED on because it's supposed to charge due to incorrect data but the hardware charging controller drops the charge current because the the battery is full. So this can be an incorrect sensor reading by the software or an incorrect feedback given by the hardware controller.
So what do you think, what can cause this.
Should i try rooting the device?
And i tried factory reset from android and factory reset from bootloader and the problem is still there.
Ok so i did the following:
- unlock the bootloader
- flashed CWM
- installed superuser
- wipe battery stats
- wipe device
- calibrate battery with an application from market
The problem is still there.
I figured that when in bootloader first thing you can read is the S-ON/S-OFF. Before doing the unlock it was "LOCKED" and after "UNLOCKED".
I did a relock and the status changed to "RELOCKED" so this means the guy that had the phone before me didn't root which again means the theory that says this problem occurs when the user tries to root the device is not true because it seems the behavior is observed on an unrooted device.
I will dig deeper maybe i find more ideas on what i can do.
I'm running out of software options so this is pointing at something hardware.
I'll get back with updates when i find something else.

probably it is htc's bug
the same happened to me after rooting the device
For now I will try to make some full cycles of the battery and see if anything changes. I usually use the phone at work and by the time I get home it's almost empty. Plug to charger and till morning it's full with a green light. I will have to monitor the charging times and get back with results.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using XDA Free mobile app
Well i did some full charging cycles and nothing changed, still the same long charge time(read by the phone) and with restart it bounces to 100%.
I had the original Android 4.0.3 with Htc Sense 3.6 at the time. Got 4EXT recovery and an 4.0.4 rom with Htc Sense 4.1. Did a full wipe and battery stats , installed the new 4.0.4 rom but the problem persists.
At this point i think the battery is the problem so the next thing to do is to change it. I will get back after i change it, hopefully sometime in november.
After a long time I managed to change the battery and after a few tests it seems the problem is still there. The time on battery improved as I expected but everything else is the same which means it's something hardware defective in the phone. Also did some tests with android 5.1 and the same results. Meantime I sold the phone and got a Samsung Galaxy S3 Neo. Hope this research gives some answers to someone at some point. Cheers.
Hey dudes i have been having this issue for some time but I feel fed up now...I am running CM 10.1 on the DHD and sometimes as I use this device my battery meter shows that I have used all the battery which prompts me to recharge...funny part is that mos times if i reboot i get the battery level back up to something like 35 - 50%; Now this is crazy since once I used a battery calibration app (free version) hoping to solve the issue but this issue never went away even after calibrating the batter with this app... I wonder if there is a way to solve this or maybe reset the battery or something...Thanks in advance
Maybe you should do a Wipe Battery Stats, From CWM
1. Charge 100% of Battery
2. Enter on CWM Recovery
3. Choose Advanced - Wipe Battery Stats
4. Reboot and leave your phone plugged for 15 min. then you can unplugg and use it
maybe this could resolve your problem:good:
I've noticed something similar on my DHD too. Sometimes the percentage can increase or decrease between reboots... A few times it's gone down really low, to say 11%, and stayed there until about the time it would actually be 11%! It's probably related to my battery being pretty old.
@manuelchef89 If I have understood correctly, what you have suggested happens automatically when you do a full charge anyway. Maybe someone who knows for sure could confirm.

Everytime when you flash any rom it would be the steps.. i dont know if the phone does automatically but you cant lose anything if you try =D

you should buy a new battery
Sometimes is a kernel problem, but you should wipe the battery stats
Take out your battery and see if your battery get any fatter than before, if it's bigger/fatter, your battery is dying.
