Easiest fix is Factory data reset and set your phone back up. If you can get to Titanium Backup you could just try to wipe data in Google Framework Services.

Ok thanks did that. But now it seem that my battery is draining fast. With wifi off screen on 10 mins. Battery falls 10% in 30 min. Not on the phone or surfing just draing. Would that be Fromthe reset?

Just drain it down and recharge and see if problem persists...

Also if you are going to leave your screen on like that make sure your brightness is down. The biggest drain on our phones is the display.

Ok I did that and it is still draining fast even with the brightness down on the lowest setting. And if it is just idle. It drains the funny thing is that it charges really fast. So I was just going to wipe the battery stat. Any other ideas?

Get betterbatterystats from the following thread and see if some process is running or trying to sync that is killing your battery:

Download that app. I have not seen it change anything. I watch my stock battery and it drops a whole % in 4 mins. And my extend battery drops a % ever 40 mins. That is with no wifi,gaming, browser or music or anything. I need help.

I think you misunderstood... the app doesn't help with battery life... it is a tool to help you pin down an app that could be running in the background and syncing data and killing your battery... just installing the app doesn't help you have to check process and wakelocks and determine what the offending app is...

Yeah, what Flast said it's a tool to find out what is using your battery but from what you posted it looks like your stock battery is bad. Your extended battery appears fine.

yea i did not read the app. thanks. do you think my problem has anything to do with the new problem i am having. when i have my phone on wifi it will keep jumping on and of.. reset the router and everything is fine just my phone.

The battery issue should be unrelated. Try assigning a static IP to your phone's connection. That is the only way mine will always connect.

Battery down to 60% from 80% in airplane mode - help!

I am running Myn rls 5 stock kernel with set cpu underclocked to 245 mhz...
What could possibly cause battery tl go down 25% in 8 hours while in airplane mode screen turned off???
I used autostarts to stop anything from starting up on its own. If this is a bad idea what should I re-enable?
I looked in spare parts and battery usage but I can't really make sense of it. Thanks!
25% in 8 hours is pretty darn good. Besides, isn't the autostart app using power to constantly stop apps from automatically starting?

I don't know what autostart is but I think it may be the problem.
I think something is wrong. I don't lose that much when I go into airplane mode.
Edit: OP, check spare parts for partial wake usage and see if there are any rogue apps.
If my phone was in airplane mode with screen off for 8 hours, I wouldn't lose more than 5 %. Hell, I only lose 5% with screen off over 8 hours, even with my radios on.
If he was using it, that's way different, but I picture "airplane mode with screen off for 8 hours" to be like if the phone was idle on the night stand, during a night of sleep. In that case, 25% is excessive, IMO. Autostart would be my first thought, I'd ditch it.

No need to apologize man! You're on here helping so much, I bet you got googly eyed and simply missed it I was just stating how I'd expect my device to act in the same situation, and also my two cents!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
FYI I had a more extreme version of this happen to me on an airplane. Battery started dropping at like 1% every 20-30 seconds after enabling airplane mode. I killed every task I could find and it stopped. Seems like it's caused by an app that isn't checking for airplane mode before trying to make a connection. Never figured out what app it was but something similar could be causing the problem here.
Re-enable everything in autostarts and delete the app. Boot into recovery and wipe your battery stats, cache, and dalvik-cache. Turn off the phone and take the battery out for like 5-10 minutes and leave it somewhere without heat, like a dark closet. Put the battery back in and boot up the phone, turn on airplane mode and see if it does the same thing.
so you guys think autostarts could be causing the problem? from the way I understood the application, it does not run in the background - just modifies entries in the android system to avoid triggers calling programs.
That said thanks for the suggestion and I will try it out!
Also did you just flash it, because if you did you should wipe your cache, dalvik-cache, and battery stats. Then recalibrate your battery.

Juice Defender

I'm installing this as a last resort before sending my phone back. After hard reset and everything, battery is still a major drain.
For those that are using it, how well does it work? Which settings are you using?
I've only the free version for now but would consider upgrading if it does help?
Also, how do you prevent meebo from disconnecting when the screen turns off? Is that an option on the free version?

About Juice Defender, for me it worked with ~1.6x batterylife.
About Meebo: get Trillian, they made it for free this week. You stay connected even if your phone is off(for max of 1 day, changeable in settings) and you'll receive al the messages which came while your online the enxt time you login again. You can manage all your accounts on the PC with the regular Trillian program and then login on your phone with your Trillian account and all the accounts will be there. It is a real nice app with very low battery consumption.
The free version is very limited. I use the ultimate version and I'm rather happy with it. I don't want to schedule traffic when my phone is idle, but that would be a massive battery saver.
Yes, you can set different settings for each app in the paid versions. You can set a trigger that makes sure your internet is always on when meego is running, even when your screen is off.
But overall, I have no problem to use my phone for more than 12 hours on battery with moderate usage. Maybe you should send your device back anyway.
I had terrible battery drain as well but ive managed to resolve this. have you tried:
1. Deleting all social hub accounts?
2. Deleting your mail account if you use the stock mail app?
3. Updated to latest official firmware?
I was experiencing 10% idle drain per hour. Now i'm at 1-2%. Battery life is a huge improvement compared to my old desire. Dont guve up on this phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
In my experience standard battery drain per hour should be
1~2% screen off / data off
3~5% screen off / data on
12~15% screen on / data off
18~20% screen on / data on
WiFi uses less battery than 3g but as you can see display is main problem...

Sounds like you need to clear your battery history, leave it over night, then check what's been using it overnight to me.
I have 5-10% drop at most overnight (7 hours or so).

So after using Juice defender ultimate for a couple weeks now, with the customizable apps configuration, I see no improvement in battery life.
I lost 50% charge overnight with just push email on (stock gmail app), only synching email and contacts.
For those with this app, what configurations are you using to improve the battery?

I have it setup to turn the data, and wifi off while the screen is off.
Night mode is enabled, from 11:30, to 7:00am
I also have it only allow wifi via location, work or home.
It eats 1-2% while in standby per hour.
and about 3-4% overnight.
i tried juice defender ultimate and it made no difference. I deleted it just because its another app working in the background...
I found it to be very effective when set up correctly. Lose less than 1% an hour at idle.

Mine does that (1-2% per hour at idle) without Juicedefender and push email/facebook active. The problem with JD is also that when set to switch off Wifi and data in the background when the phone is idle, it doesn't always switch them back on after the phone awakens, resulting in many pain in the ass moments.
I bought it 6 months ago and never use it any more.

Pretty standard really wifi and mobile data enabled (ultimate version), autosync on ping, 15 minute scheduled check for 30s. I don't have it turn off data at night because the phone is usually plugged in and have data enabled when the screen is on. It also manages the wifi locations so usually it only connects to wifi.

Hmm I'd never heard of that app, but did a bit of research and it looks like it really does wake the connections well with the latest release... will give it a try!
I lost 4%/idle for 12 hours.

From 100% to 40% battery in an hour and a half?

I have admittedly only just re-flashed the ROM (full wipe beforehand) on this device and it's only been through a single charge cycle since I wiped battey stats after calibration, but I am still disappointed that after only 90 minutes of web browsing and im-ing I am down to 39% battery.
Should I expect battery life to improve in the coming days/weeks?
end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500
I'd try re-flashing the ROM again.
How would that change anything? I'm not saying it couldn't I just want to know how that could improve battery life since I would be flashing the same ROM, with the same kernel over the same radio...
end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500
I had the same problem with Cool Sensation v7 ROM. Battery drain was terrible after about a week of flashing it so I uninstalled all my apps planning to re-install them gradually, a few at a time to see which of them was draining the battery but it was still a problem after uninstalling all user apps. I then did a full wipe in recovery and reflashed the ROM, added the user apps gradually and my battery life is just great now.
Please define gradually. One app a day, or what?
Do you advise against Titanium restore of all apps and their data?
end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500
I tried re-installing about 3 apps at a time and then checking the battery drain over 24 hours. But, like I said, it turned out not to be any of the apps it was the ROM, but I can't explain why. Once I did a full wipe and reflashed the same ROM I could have just re-installed all the apps using TB anyway as it was the ROM flash that was the culprit.
What I actually did was - Full wipe > Flash ROM > Batch restore all apps that I've had for a long time using TB > Restored all newer apps (downloaded in the last 2 weeks) a couple at a time each day.
I didn't need to do the last step really because I'm convinced the problem was just a bad ROM flash.
Reflashing a ROM can help solve many problems, though I don't know the mechanics of this actual issue.
Right... Thanks man, I guess I'll just re-flash then.

Battery life, not so great

Well, I thought the battery life on my T989D (Canadian version) would be better after installing a ROM (Darkside EVO3, Venom ROM) but after about an hour of usage (phone calls, texting, no video, no WiFi, no GPS).
I replaced it with a new battery and still it's bad.

Is this your first flash? Ive have flashed plenty of times, battery life, no matter what ROM, cannot be judged the first, second or third day of usage. Give it five days, and report back. When I used darkside, I was getting 30 hours, with moderate use. Give it time, use your battery till it dies, and charge it fully while off. You will see a difference.
On my fourth day, but I just had to reinstall the ROM..
Now I'm using my carriers ROM, done by Derek Jay.
Hopefully it had something to do with it, not sure.

Koooba, i just posted in another thread about battery issues, check it out here. I been running Derek's Roms since Digital Warfare and never any really issues with his Rom. i would suggest to calibrate the battery, turn off sync on all apps (Facebook is one of the worst) and keep brightness down to a 20% or whatever is comfortable for you. No joke, i get 17 hrs avg on his roms. People been known to get 24hrs+ on his roms and those are the TMo version...Telus is suppose to have be even better.

one of the ways these guys are getting such good battery life is by turning off data. that's a huge one.
btw - i'm on a D as well, and I get consistently just under 3 hours screen on time, and i charge every night. usually end with about 15% left.
it could be due to the horrible signal in some of my university buildings... or the fact that i just leave wifi on all day. but I haven't really been able to crack that barrier.
it will always take about a week for your kernel and phone to settle down.

Most battery drains are from apps constantly running in the background. Use better battery stats and gsam battery monitor and I guarantee after a day of usage, you will track down what is killing it. Widgets, auto syncing of apps and Google are the biggest culprits of battery drain.

syncing, GPS, bluetooth, the only data I have on is the basic network data I would think I need to receive text msgs.

Well, after installing GSAM and checking off the option to prolong battery life in the default settings, the battery is a bit better, but not great.

Yeah I got all that off when I don't use it. If I get no signal, I put it on airplane mode. I found even if you turn off data and you are in a building with poor signal or none it kills it, even with data off. Do you use any third party apps for text, phone or anything. What launcher do you use? Facebook on manual sync, emails too?
What does app sucker say is draining?

That's crazy then, because I'm LUCKY if I can squeeze out 5-6 hours and I turn off EVERYTHING.
I even frosted GTalk through Titanium, I don't have use Facebook, so I disable that app altogether.
Something definitely has to be wrong with my phone then.
I got the battery replaced for a new one, so dunno what's going on.
Just checked out your post, not sure what badass to governor setting is...?
I just installed the Venom Kernel over the Derek's Evo updated ROM.
All syncing is off, GPS is off as well.
Has to be an issue with my phone and ICS, because it originally came with Gingerbread.

I use the rom aokp milestone m1-r1 with kernel 4.0 fusion and also notice this problem. if I use the 3g, the battery dies quickly. I am always on 2g with data off and only use when needed. wifi does not occur with this problem.

Thanks for your response

Another battery will not help.
Another kernel will not help.
Wiping battery stats does nothing, all stories about "improving battery life" are complete bull**** - it has nothing to do with battery!!
All ICS and ICS-Based ROMs, yes that also means all Jelly Bean ROMs,that are based on ICS, have that ICS bug, which causes battery drain after every charge. You need to restart your phone in order to fix it. Restart after charging and no more massive drain should occur.
If it does, it must be something in your personal settings.

Flash 72 baseband...Baseband 77 has battery drain issues...Also facebook eats some battery in standby...Change the refresh interval to 30 min and see...Also alarm app eats the battery. I know that. Dont set a daily alarm, instead set it just before gng to sleep.
I'm experiencing quite the same problem on my Arc (LT15i) although I don't think it occurs after every charge, and I'm not even sure it does only appear when I charged the phone.
I remarked that the radio is going a bit buggy (switching from Wi-Fi to 2G/3G or constantly reconnecting to the mobile network) and when this appears, I have to reboot the phone or the battery dies in 6 to 8 hours (when the problem don't occurs, it can go on for 36-48h).
Anyone has noticed the same thing or am I experiencing another battery drain problem ?
Not trying to hijack or anything, but as my problem relates to yours, I thought I'll write to this thread.
My LT18i battery drains around 10-20%/hour even when put to airplane mode and rebooting before. I just tested last night and charged the battery full, left the phone to airplane mode and at the morning after 7 hours there was 20% left!!! I even checked from betterbatterystats and the phone had been on deep sleep almost all the time.
Have had this problem for a while, but havent found any solution to it, if anyone can help, PLEASE do!
P.S running on stock GB

There is an app or something, that is using lots of battery. Check sync settings (some apps have it in app settings), turn off WiFi/3G/Bluetooth/GPS, make sure app is working.
And do not use taskkillers.
And if you can, post a screenshot of Battery Usage screen, with the list of apps consuming battery.
I flashed Stock ICS .587 on my arc last night and charged it 'till today in morning so i took my arc restarted it and 'till now worked just fine,my battery is almost dead but i used my phone today at max.I did some callings,played Asphalt 7,used wifi and internet,dolphin browser,installed some basic apps from market,done a cwm bacup,installed some cam mods cyber-shot,tested the camera.but hey even the battery is dieing now it's cool.I had fun with it for today,i hope this battery will last always ss today.
Apps kills the battery,so i deleted FB,i frezzed some apps that i don't use everyday,and i have my brightness on 50%.
I know i didn't help to much but i'm sharing my expirence.
And yeah sry for my english.

Pretty sure, theres no apps running and I have everything turned off, I even took the sim card off for testing purposes.
Betterbatterystats shows 98% deep sleep at my tes period of one night.
Now it gets even weirder...A friend of mine suggested that I try to turn the phone fully off (power totally off).
I charged the battery to 100% last night and pulled the battery, putted it back on and let the phone sit on the table untouched for the night. When I turned it on on the morning battery showed 4% left!!!
So theres a huge drain even when the phones power is turned fully off. I dont know does this indicate a broken battery (battery 2 months old) or something wrong with the hardware ???
Turn phone off. Charge to 100% when 2-5% left
After fullcharge, use ur phone. When it drops to 50% exactly shut it down. Remove battery for a minute. Reinsert battery and dont turn it on.
Charge it again to 100%
Done
This worked for me

I tried something similar, but I will try this also when I get home from work.
By the way, is it normal that the phone warms up quite lot from the top back (about under camera) ?
