[Q] What's eating up my Battery? - Samsung Galaxy SL i9003

Im on JB CNA 3.6.6 and i wonder why CpuSpy is showing me unbelievable results. Before that i was fully charged 12:30 pm. Its 7 pm now and its only 56% In cpu spy i got 1000 ghz almost all the time (maybe 43% for 1000 ghz and 30% for Deep sleep and the rest for other freq. like 800 ghz below). I use Revolution kernel. I think this will fix it but i no. Its incredibly annoying compared to GB whole day just 30% drained with music/wifi/sms. But on this only sms? half day took half of my battery..

you post in wrong place dude but i think your battery problem is issue in codename android 3.6.6

Move to RemICS1.7 ... it's battery friendly
JB is the worst

Overclocking with farias the real thing

as u can c in my sig im overclocking 273 and boost 2 312 and im experiencing battery drain what settings should I use 2 get a very goos speed and not get drain or 2 much drain...I charged all day and took it off the charger at 9 and at 14:21 I have 11 percent...I started at 100
Your problem is your overclocking, of course its going to drain your battery faster.
I don't mean 2 flame but that was a dumb post...I kno that when u overclock it will drain...hence the reason I asked for some good setting 2 use 2 get speed and batteru life...or atleast enough till like8 o clock at night...because I need my phone for the whole day...please post...if u have something that will help me and others looking for the same thing I am looking for...ty
Have you read the other post which claims that battery drain is caused by a corrupt ExtROM? I am trying this out at the moment... hope it is true...
can i get a link to that post?

your problem is that your over clocking all the time, even when your phone is idle. set the speed to 221. then, use the scaler to set your minimum speed to 162 or 169. Then, set your boost to 260 or 273. Play with different extended decay and attack settings. Also, upgrade your battery status to beta3. Setting it like this, you idle at 26-33mhz lower than stock, peak at 26mhz overclocked and boost (for when your workin it hard) to 78mhz overclocked.
also, leave wifi off if your not using it and try not to use it too much. Conserving my wifi use and with these settings, i'm able to take my phone off the charger at 7:30am and i don't charge it again until 11pm.
Check out my sig.
I am running 130 @ idle, 260 o/c, and 273 boost.
Also, noticed (and downloaded) a new version of Battery Status (which has unfortunately since been removed) last week (was using build 0178, then was build 0182, but now it is build 0181). That seems to have helped a bit with battery life and is more accurate on battery strength.
Here's the link to the battery drain solution... So far, for me, it seems that battery drain has slowed down, after I reflash Dopod's official ROM and then flash Xplore1.1(OS only)... But, don't take my word for it as I have 2 variables to consider now.. different ROM and with a uncorrupted Extended ROM..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302887
One thing I noticed that is different is, now my CPU usage can go down to 1-4%(indicated by Battery Status), previously, it rarely goes below 10% even when idle... then again, it could be coincidence... It's too early to tell, let me go through a cycle of charge and drain first as this is a new ROM(for me) first day!!! See my signature...
thanks for all replys...found it http://rapidshare.com/files/20883928/BatteryStatusExt.1.04.CAB google is great this is 0178 i have 0184 but lost the link
battery status build 0184
heres the cab to 0184 i cant find the link...

The latest official verisions of BatteryStatus are always right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
184 appears to be posted now. This one finally appears to properly save your settings and then deinstall the previous before installing the new one (older ones didn't do this and I had problems after upgrading and would have to finally deinstall BS completely, then reinstal and resetup my settings).

Battery drains fast

Have no clue why. Display eats up 48% of battery... then comes xda aap? Ihave it set to 1ghz max 200 min with proton voltage at 25 under each prefered level.! Im using nscollab with netarchy kernal......
Even as i type and use my phone it like to go down percents. I took off my phone off charge at 130 am used heavily till 330 and was at 75% or below. I woke up at 820 am startesusing phone and 45 mins after playing around itdrained from 63% to 48%??
Ive had alot of android phones but none like this.....any ideas guys?
Edit* i dont have the ns collab radio flashed either...just on case i wanted to try other roms.

[Q] Help increasing battery life to 12+ hrs (heavy useage)

Cycled 3 times now and the first day with moderate use I went about 8-9 hours. It was awesome. Now that I'm using it a little heavier and will actually be using it quite heavily with data, gps, browsing, phone calls etc. I am noticing maybe that really isn't enough... I need like 12 hours or more like I hear some people are getting...
So I ask you XDA, what is THE BEST way for me to achieve super long battery life with heavy use. I'm already using SetCPU (settings below)
2100 maH battery? (Will this even be a huge difference from our current battery? I don't know what our stock battery maH is..)
3800 maH battery? (If this ends up being the best solution...I need a good case to support it and these usually don't have those...)
A way to turn off LTE?
...any other way to get 12+ hours out of my phone with heavy usage? I'm never in the car long enough or at a desk long enough some days to be able to plug my phone in and charge...
Also, I've searched and searched and can't find anything other than "The LTE is still on even if you use X ROM, or turn X settings off, or install X kernel/radio." Is there any new update on how to turn off LTE on the Skyrocket when rooted?
My SetCPU settings:

Please help. I NEED to find a way to do this. I'm a network technician and having no access to phone calls and emails is tough. Also my family and loved ones after the work day and I'm still out doing errands for another 4 or so hours and my phone is 0% dead isn't a good thing.
*Note: If the 2100maH battery takes the stock back plate and it can give me what I'm asking for I would PREFER it. I have an Otterbox case I dropped $50 + SH on and I'd like to keep using it....

I found a 2250maH Battery on ebay.. MFG is Andida. $13 shipped. Fits in the stock battery location with the stock cover. I have an OtterBox case. All is well! Worth the 7 day wait!

Thank you Hemi! Is Andida a good brand or something? Or are you just letting me know so I can find it? Just curious. How has the life been? I had an Atrix before the SkyRocket and I know a MAJOR issue with that phone was anything above stock that was breaking the 2000maH mark WOULD NOT register in the battery's true %. No matter what cycling, "fixes", battery stat resets etc. that you did. Does the battery on here show you the actual stats? Would this battery last long enough to meet my needs? 12 hour day with heavy usage?
Sorry for the question bombardment...but if this will really answer my needs which I really need answered ASAP, I will drop the $ for this immediately.

How do you UV?
Also, what do you guys who've under clocked found as a good clock to keep it at? 1.5ghz is REALLY high IMO and I normally have it cap around 1.2ghz...anyone found a good clock to run around and it still be snappy and smooth?
Also..how do the guys with stock batteries get those 12 hour times? Is it just moderate usage? Will the 2100mah or 2200mah batteries give me what I want? 12 hours high usage? Or do I need to go with the 3800mah seidos I've been hearing a lot of good reviews on...?

Can't help with the battery, but I run 1080 max 192 min, battery is more or less same as 1500 max for me. I get 4hrs screen on time, maybe 3.5 if there's above average voice use. This is with data on the whole time. I've found my battery is just about completely dependent on screen time, minus some expected drain over the course of hours but that's very minimal.

In my experience the Extended Samsung Nexus battery is a better solution than the Andida.

The battery and mfg is the only one I found that was a 2500maH. It was the largest I found that kept everything I wanted (stock battery, cover, etc). There might be another CO that makes one, but this is what I've found. Two weeks and running. It charges the first 65% like a banshee, then slows down for the remainder.
It's worked well for me, extending my day and making life easier. It really doesn't take any longer to fully charge than the stock one did, just longer life throughout the day.
Hope this helps.
You thought about getting external mobile charger or just spare batteries? you charge everything when you got the time and then just swap around when needed.
have i got a solution for you my friend...
I'm testing a set of tweaks i made for my old phone which is working well. These tweaks provide excellent battery life and incredible performance gains.
Just to give you a quick snapshot, I'm at 22+ hours uptime @ 28% under moderate use. I'm not oc/uv either, and i am on official aokp Rom.
I plan to have it finalized by Sunday as long as my normal life duties don't interfere...

I am the exact same way with my skyrocket, heavy use for work and need at least 12hrs+ battery. So after much research, Looking at extra batteries to carry around or the tweak/root/rom method, which is way more convenient then carrying around batteries all the time.
I rooted my device, put SKYICS on it, and tweaked the CPU and UV, and now I'm using my phone heavy and at hour 12 i'm at 39%, so happy now with this phone now. It does me. Give it a try, believe me you wont be disappointed.

[app] switch OFF CPU core 1 or 2

hey i found it on XDA portal news today
go check here
it shuts off your one core of CPU
test it & post your results here :silly:
till now it has successfully switched off my core 1....... because i've just installed few minutes ago

Is this a battery saving measure?
If so does it work?
Performance?
atrix2 running majicmod
galaxy tab 2 3113 running cm10.1 nightlys
iPhone 4 traded for some computer work... just sits there...
cant say about battery (not much diff.) .... but performance has been affected lil bit
I tried that app for a few days. It seemed like it would prevent the phone from waking back up, because the screen wouldn't come back on. Evey time I would have to pull the battery and reboot. I finally uninstalled it and haven't had that problem since.
Isn't hotplug governor have that feature? so you dont affect performance and stability
sent from the gray stuff inside my skull
i tried several governor & felt a lil decreased performance with single core being OFF
but anyway we can oc it n have our performance back ( in my opinion )
because i havent oc'd yet

I used to own a rarz i xt890 (2 ghz single core) and i can tell you that an OC'd core will never be as good as two cores working together , i run mine at min 300 mhz max 800 and never noticed any lag at all, phone lasts almost 12 hours ,on heavy usage (mp3 about 7 hours, like 3 or 4 hours of 3g browsing and like four or five 15 min calls) ,at night my batt drops 3% or 4 % (6 hours sleep) with wifi on, i think hotplug governor does a damn good job at saving batt and keeping your phone smooth as it could be with an locked bootloader

[Q] Possible battery drain?

Hey guys,
I recently flashed the CROMBi-KK ROM on my TF300T and chose the that11-DIRTY+ kernel on the installation.
This morning I charged my tablet to 100% at 9:00 AM. Now it's 5:00 PM here and my tablet only has 27% of battery charge. I mostly browsed on the web with it for one and a half hour (I guess, could be two...) at full brightness, browsed a little bit Facebook, but I didn't do much else.
I overclocked it a little bit (1500 MHz) on the Installation, but I changed the settings with the AnTuTu CPU Master Free to maximum 1300 MHZ and minimum 51 MHz. Scaling is ondemand.
Is it normal that the TF300T loses its power so fast? I mean, I have it now for almost 2 years, but it seems to me, that my tablet didn't lose so much battery power with the stock ROM.
I've come across the same issue. Battery drain on Cromi is huge. When no use it lasts no more than 2 days.
