Battery drain while phone is off

Since I flashed Kyrillos' ROM v10 Beta and after ICS build 3, I didn't notice this problem, but now if I shut down and leave the phone off for hours (ex. in the night) my battery drains and even goes to 0% !!!
I also made screenshots for better explaining...
Is anybody else facing the same problem?
Any ways for solving it? Or is my battery fault?
Thanks for the advices

take a look at this thread, the first couple of pages should get you started on solving this

I have a similar issue,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22598720#post22598720
I changed my battery and it still persists. So far I have not found a way to fix. However I got the phone this way, so I am not sure if any particular ROM was flashed to cause this or if its a hardware problem. If I find any solutions I will be sure to let you know.
If you find any please be sure to post it up as well so I can try it out.
Thanks

try changing back to the original CM7 port by marcel.....

You mean just kernel or the complete ROM with which kernel?
Cause I think it's most probably a kernel issue.
I tried to use app linked on first answer but I can only see stats and I can't determine where the problem is...
It shows wakelocks when phone is on, but not when it's off so what?
I don't like change every day a new ROM or charge so often battery without using it, so I'll try Kyrillos 9.5 again and if it will solve my problem then maybe is too soon for CM7 or ICS on this phone.
Stay together and maybe we can find a solution.

hold on, you mean the battery drains when you power off the phone??? or when the SCREEN is off?

seriously? I recommend you to go back to original CM7, cause CM7 itself can stand alone very well!

I mean power off, not only screen off, but also in that case I can't explain why battery drains in ~20 hours using it or even letting it on standby (I'm sure no 3g, GPS, wifi, Bt or background apps are on).
Why?
Anyway I'll give pure CM7 a try...

about the drain when screen is off use the app on that thread and determine which apps cause wakelocks and either remove them or change their settings (that's what i see on the screenies you attached). also keep in mind that kernels are responsible for about 80% of battery usage, so try out a different kernel too
however if there is drain when the power is off then there is something seriously wrong on your hardware. i suggest you take the battery out and leave it be for a few hours, then put it on again and see if it drained at all. If it did then replace your battery, if not then you probably need to take your to a service center

You confirmed what I thought...
Vertical gap you can see on my attachments happened while phone was off, so it's surely a kernel issue, but if I'm the only one who had this problem, maybe it's also a battery problem?
So, unlike what I said before, I'm gonna turn back to froyo (I think Kyrillos 9.5) after your adv of letting battery out of the phone for some hours, to see if I can return to 2-3 days of use without charging.
I'll post news when I'll get answers from my phone, anyway thank you for helping me understand.

Definitively, that was a kernel issue!
Now battery lasts less than 2 days, but even with CM7 from marcellusbe, I haven't battery drain while phone is off.
My phone/battery is 16 months older, so I'm feeling quite lucky having this battery life.
Good luck to all other Galaxy 3 users and thank again for the help and fabulous support here in xda!

[Q] My HTC Sensation Keeps Shutting Down

Hi - my HTC Sensation phone keeps shutting down on it's own randomly.
By shut down I mean screen goes blank, it powers down, only way to start again is to take out the battery and reinsert.
I am using stock battery that came with the phone.
It's happened 6-7 times in like 2 weeks. I can't determine what is causing it, I did notice it was twice when i used the camera and once skype.
The temperate in battery monitor widget appear normal, no like sudden jump that would indicate the shut down.
It is running 2.3.4 with Android revolution Rom.
Any help/assistance would be appreciated.
Lastly, for HTC repairs, what do they require, store receipt,etc.?

maybe this is a rom issue or maybe the kernel you are using...try another rom and see if it happens again...this is not hardware problem...

Try a new kernel first before reflashing rom. Also look at voltage levels, of volts are set too low this can happen.

Silly question, have you tried the rom without flashing kenels? Meaning use the one bundled in the rom.

To be honest im not sure how to do that, i just followed the thread and installed the rom as mentioned in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I did just revert back to 1.2ghz right now to see if that makes a difference, the rom i was on had the cpu set to 1.5ghz

Isn't ARHD a sense based rom? I use faux's kernel and he states that it is for AOSP/CM roms only. Could that be the issue?
Edit: My bad, forgot that faux develops the kernel for arhd as well. I had a similar issue when I tried to upgrade my radio to the newest from the same one you are using. Flashing back stopped the black screens.

I think I read in that thread that if people are having trouble with the overclock, to lower to 1ghz. But report back if your way works or not. GL

I have been having some random shut downs as well lately. I've been running the last insertcoin GB rom. It started as an occasional shut down but recently became very frequent. I decided to superwipe and flash the lastest android revolution gb rom and during the initial boot up it shut down and then 2 more times before I was able to finish logging in to my gmail account to complete the phone's setup. It's now started up and hasn't shut down in the last 15 minutes or so but I'm wondering what is causing it. I had stock kernel with insertcoin's rom and I selected the 1.5 kernel during the install of ARHD. I also flashed the recommended radio for the ARHD rom before installing it.

I would like to find a solution for this too because I have been dealing with this for a long time. I have tried many ROMS both ICS and GB and many different kernels and still have problems. The problem seems to go away with aosp ROMS for me though:/
EDIT: And the most of the time it happens if not all the time the batteryis below at least 50% and starts to really get crazy after the 20% and 10%

I am freaking so frustrated with this phone.
I went back to normal 1.2ghz, but now a few days later battery is well at 50%, it still shuts down.
#@$#@[email protected]#
Anyone have a solution here? Is there a damn log or trace that can be run to identify why it shuts down on itself.

this acording to what i read would fix the reading of the battery, should make it more accurate i would have 20% when i said 50 btw download an app called elixer and monitor or battery

i have battery monitor widget running and it shows battery at more than half
im guessing this is hardware issue

[Q] Battery Level Stuck at 100%

I have had this problem for a couple of months not and just got sick of it. My battery percentage is stuck at 100%. I have tried everything; reflashing, clearing battery stats, using battery calibration tools, completely draining (a few times) and fully charging and clearing bat stats again to no avail. I can see in multiple places that the battery voltages levels are dropping but having no effect on the percentage.
My phone info:
G2x flashed with Cyanogenmod 7 11 01 2011 nightly (I can not up date for a few weeks as I am on a ship), Faux123-v0.4.7r.
Anybody experience the before or have a idea of a fix?

could be a few things...
1) have you tried any other rom/kernel combo's and does it still happen?
2) you say you are using faux123's kernel, if it is the DS version of it the battery driver percentage readings are a bit strange on that version. you could just be getting a VERY extreme case of that, try the CM version if you haven't already. (should be in the same thread as the DS version)
3) if you want to give it a shot, you could try using This. its a batch file that will completely and 100% wipe your phone (and the internal SD card) clean, its fixed some strange issues for people, and it might just help you too.
3) if none of the above work, try picking up a cheap battery on ebay/amazon for the phone, from what i hear you can get one in the $10-$25 range pretty easily. it could be that something in the battery itself is messed up thats causing it too.

1. This only started happening without correcting itself this past ROM. I am currently out to sea and can not download a new one. I have a few previous ROMS on my computer that I can try.
2. I am using the more stable CM version of the kernel.
3. I would like to avoid a complete wipe at the moment as I will have no viable way to reload all of my stuff. I have done a NAND backup just though just in case.
4. Buying a battery would take weeks to get here. Will consider this if steps above don't work.
Thank you very much, going to go flash a different ROM right now!

yeah, if you can swing it, a full wipe is most likely going to help. otherwise either just try to live with it, or try dirty-flashing a new rom.

Ok, I tried the dirty-flash to no joy. Just broke down, backed everything up with Titanium Backup and did the complete wipe and install. Battery is back to normal. I would still really like to know what caused the battery not to register (before I did all of this, messed with the Cyanogenmod settings for status bar. Went back to just the icon of the battery and it showed a question mark with no level).

You most likely f'ed up the system ui because of a bug in the status bar mods or a theme. Honestly most of the time these things are fixable, but the fix is a helluva lot more complicated and time consuming than just wiping.
I'm glad you got it worked out though.

I would either flash a different kernel, flash a different rom or wipe EVERYTHING and start over.

its because you probably got a leak of one of the new nuclear batteries, so i think you can use it for like 5000 years or so, but with juice defender you might be able to get like 7500 out of it!...
just be sure not to under volt it too much! or els the fission becomes unstable...
and you know... Kaboom!

Random shutdowns

So I've been running Elegancia Blitz 2.5.0 for almost a week. The first couple days, it was fantastic and I had no complaints. However, over the past two days, it's restarted at least 8 times and it's extremely frustrating. I thought it was overheating before but now it's just turning off even when it's not being used excessively. Is this a result of the new 3.33 firmware? Is there any way to solve this?

Alright, so I've been using the new Faux kernel for a few days, and I thought it was perfect until I got a random shutdown this morning . It also killed my battery from 96% to 16% although I've been using it ever since and the battery level has not dropped below 16% so I believe it's inaccurate. Hopefully this will be the last time.

you should try Bricked..i tried using sebastians but it wasn't the best experience, and faux didn't cut it either. lol

Bricked is a great kernel.are you sure your battery is not going bad? With a drain the size you had I would suspect that perhaps you need another battery ? If the stats keep draining quickly like that I'd look into perhaps buying another battery . I use a Anker long lasting battery and its been great . Sometimes when you keep getting a massive fast drain it is the battery causing it. Once you get your kernel squared away keep a eye on the battery for massive fast drain if it continues to do it, like 96% to 16% in an hour then I'd look into another battery also. Hope this helps. Best of luck.

[Q] HTC Sensation XE shutdown.

Hello XDA users,
I have been Using the HTC Sensation XE for about 7 months now. But im having some issue's with it.
My phone randomly reboots at calls, typing text and taking photo's. Also the phone's gets quite hot. I looked up the problem and found out that the battery is the problem. and with some more reseach i found that its a common issue with the sock battery so i replaced it for the ANKER 1900mAh LI-ION BATTERY. After replacing the stock battery with the ANKER battery that issue has been solved. But my phone still gets quite hot once its in its rebooting loop. The phone reboots it lets my fill in my PIN-Code and after a minute it reboots again. once this has happened a few times i started to notice the phone is getting quite hot behind my Micro SD CARD.
Do you guys have any idea's what the issue could be?

do you have overclocked too much?
also those rebooting loops happened only once or do you have them frequently?
if it happened once then just switch off the device and let it cool for 10 minutes
then switch it on again

I did not overlock it. its underlocked once my screen goes of to save battery life. and when it gets stuck inside the boot loops sometimes i have them a few times a day and other times i dont have them for a week so it seems kinda random to me. and mostly when i leave the phone off for 10 min (battery fully taken out like in the picture) it solves the loop.
Could it be a software issue?

if you want flash the stock rom from recovery(link in my signature)
otherwise flash ARHD ROM which is the closest one to ics stock
if you want to upgrade to jb with sense go for viperS ROM 5.0.0:good:
but it should be better to use some of them in your own and see what suits best for you
about kernel i am satisfied with sebastianFM's kernel:good:

Sorry late responce been quite busy
but i am gona try the ARHD Rom if i have some spare time to mess around with my phone.
and today i have made plenty of phone calls and been using whatsapp the whole day and my phone dident reboot once.
