Incredible Battery Issue!!

I put the leaked 2.2 update onto my phone and it has been great. I have only had one issue with it thus far. Starting yesterday my battery life plummeted drastically out of the blue. It seems like it came out of thin air. There is no water damage or anything. I am avoiding doing a data reset. Does any one have any other suggestions?

Is your phone staying constantly awake? Is there an App causing it stay running? Are all of your apps up to date?
I've been on a 2.2 ROM for over a month and I have great battery life, even with my overclocked kernel.

I use Advanced Task Killer and my phone goes to sleep after 1 min. 2.2 Worked perfect with great bettery life for about 2 weeks. But last night everything went downhill. It maybe an App i downloaded? but i looked in my apps and things seemed to look normal.

Do you have the task killer automatically set to kill after a certain amount of time? If you do you may be killing processes only to have them be restarted right away by android system, then killed again, restarts...and so on. That will kill your battery like crazy! To be honest, try going 24 hours without your task killer and see what happens, I noticed an improvement. The way android manages it's processes there is no need for a 3rd party task killer. Also try the KingzKernel's they are fantastic with battery life.

K, regardless, uninstall it for 1 day. U may notice a decrease in it benchmarks but ur actual performance will not change. I was a skeptic too, just give it a shot.

I'm having the exact same issue. I flashed the virtuous 2.2 rom. The battery is dropping waaay too fast. This needs to be figured out

I'm having the exact same issue. I just flashed SkyRaider 2.5.2 the other night and Radio 2.15.
The problem I'm having is that my charge is taking almost 4-5 hours to charge when it use to only take a couple hours. Also, my battery is draining QUICK.
I just clocked it and I went from 100% battery after a 12-hour charge to 93% in about five minutes.
PLEASE, someone help with this issue.

I never had any issues with the original 7/28 leak (or whatever the date was), and once having the bugs worked out, never bothered with the 8/1 leak. I did the 8/26 leak as soon as it came out and was plagued with charge times exceeding my 7-hour per day sleep schedule, and battery life that would drop drastically with the screen off. I literally went from 40% to 5% in a matter of two hours with my phone sitting on my desk, screen off. I used nandroid restore to go back to the 7/28 leak i had backed up. I'm not sure where the bug is, but I hope Verizon/HTC release this update soon, so the OTHER 95% of Incredible owners can start *****ing too. Then maybe something will get done.

I tried bump charging this morning and it made no difference whatsoever. Withing 2 hours I'm at 35%. No Facebook syncing or really anything syncing for that matter... Just a crappy battery issue. Tried different Kernels and no difference which leads me to believe it may be Froyo or the Rom I'm using which is the virtuous Rom but that doesn't make sense....

I'm surprised this has not been addressed on a much larger scale within the XDA community. There is no way anyone could enjoy their Dinc with that much battery drain.
I am using the 3500 mAh battery and with stock phone and no root I was able to charge my phone in about an hour and could get nearly 2 days with heavy usage. Now I'm not sure I can even get 12 hours, but I haven't fully tested that theory yet.
My plan today is to do a full charge (Which will be done in a matter of minutes) and then I am going to do some clocking to see exactly how long it takes to discharge.
Regardless, why is this not a major concern in the community? I only see a few posts relating to it.

Ok, so I think this has been brought up before.
When my phone is at a complete IDLE (89%), my CPU is rocking out at 900+MHz.... I think this is what is causing my severe battery drain. Can any developers respond to this or can someone else advise? My sister who uses her stock phone with no root, etc is idling between 245MHz and 320MHz.
My battery is dropping way to quick and this has to be the answer. Please help. Thanks!

Thing is...
If you're on this forum, you're probably a constant tweeker. The so called "battery issue" is all over the place depending on who you talk to. I wrote "Making Your Droid's Battery Incredible" over at my website, but essentially you need to figure this out yourself. Battery usage depends on so many things like the programs you run, the kernel you're using, and the battery you have (and the condition of said battery). If there were a uniform problem, it would be much easier to identify.
Oh, and if you're humming along at 900mhz while idle, try SetCPU.

Battery Life after new rom

Hi everyone
I just installed the Darkside 3 #8 - with all the steps outlined but am finding the battery life is BRUTAL - barely getting 8 hours out of my phone.
Does anyone have suggestions on what I can do to get the phone working through the day?
Does the phone take a few days to "get used" to the new ROM to allow the battery to settle down?
Thanks in advance!

I have read that turning your 4G off when not using your phone helps battery last longer. I have not tried out though. How long ago did you install the Rom? I know you have to let it sit for a couple days to get the full battery results

Thanks for the response! The phone has been on the new rom for two days - I will wait a couple of days to see how it goes!

You also may want to try to determine the cause of your battery drain using a couple free apps from the playstore. I suggest using GSAM battery monitor and CPU Spy.

i dont like to restore apps with titanium,has caused issues in the past befor. Why dont you try reflashing and installing your apps manually (my opinion. and see if it persists, have you tried calibrating your battery?

I had a similar issue on the same ROM but V7. I just put up a post a tip thread on how to improve battery life. In no way am i trying to hijack your thread, just trying to help people track the problem down. I get 17 -26 hours of battery depending on how heavy i use it.

No problem. I don't think your battery is fried, calibrate your battery and take some ideas from my thread. oh by the way, i personally avoid widgets, its like a constantly running program.

Just an update everyone! So I got so frustrated that I clean installed the Infamous 2.8.6, no restores, charged battery to 100%, callibrated, etc
and the battery seems much better - it looks like i might actually go a whole 11 hours without a battery charge.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

Darkside v8 gave you bad battery life? Hmm.. with the le1 modded radio this rom has given me they best battery life yet. I was only about to charge to 56% yesterday. Phone went 18 hours... oh btw eugenes battery saver script helps ALOT. Phone sleeps like a hibernating bear.

Any time you flash a new ROM you should give it a few power cycles to get everything settled, and calibrated, typically around a week of use.

Battery dead overnight.

So, I had about 50% juice when I went to bed last night. Woke up to see phone dead. Had to plug in charger to start it as battery was fully drained.
So what causes such sudden battery drop?

It seriously looks like some apps have been doing some heavy tasks while youre sleeping..
Check with your nearest dealer. Then contact samsung if you think your battery is faulty

Battery doesnt seem faulty at such an early stage.
Best solution. Download BetterBatteryStats and check out what is draining your battery
Its the solution i would do with myself

I dont even have much apps installed yet. & battery life so far was really good until this morning. Seems quite stange. Has it happened to anyone else?

I don't think that could have been any apps to deplete the battery that quickly. I mean, that literally did a nose dive. Ever heard of Ghosts?!? DunDunDunnnnn

Does battery reset itself somehow?

Yes, an app or some apps drained your battery No other solution possible mate . As mentioned before install BetterBattery Stats and cpu spy and check for unusal app behavior.

The thing that surprises me is that on the steep drop, the green border-line is missing. It doesn't look like drain; it looks more a short circuit...

Its actually not a drain. Its a sudden cut off.

In your case, don't bother with better battery stats or any other that other crap people are suggesting. I don't think the majority of the people who read your post bothered to look at the attached image (or didn't understand it.)
During the time that your battery dropped off, android wasn't even active (as no battery stats were logged.) That drop-off looks to me like some type of system crash or something rebooted your phone into recovery (or download) mode and left it there until the battery died (causing a power down.)
I can't tell you WHY that happened, but I can't think of anything "normal" that would cause it. I used to see something similar when I was doing kernel work on a specific samsung tablet if the user had one of the so-called supercharger scripts installed. In that case, the kernel would panic (wifi bug) and the script had re-written the kernel parameters to cause an infinite loop instead of letting the kernel panic reboot the device. The result was that the device would get warm and drain the battery until there was no more power.
Recovery meant charging the device first and upon finally getting it to boot, the battery page would look similar to yours.
Another possibility is that your phone hit what it THOUGHT it was around 46%, but the battery stopped giving juice.
In your shoes, I'd do something I usually tell other people never to do: Purposely run your battery down below 40% to make sure the same thing doesn't happen. (If it does, consider restoring your phone to stock, testing again, and possibily calling Samsung.)
Good luck

Battery life after Jelly Bean Update

how was your battery life after update . my was suck drain very fast

I don't know how most people got better battery life, but mine worse, not extreme, but noticeable worse.
Android system and Android OS takes second and third place, which on ICS I barely see their place on top of battery usage.

Seems the same for me...at first after updating battery life was terrible..but after a few charges and reboots it seems to be getting better.

Download an app from the play store called "CPU Stats" and see if the CPU is under serious load when you're not doing anything. If it is, you may have the same issue I had which was that the media scanner was getting stuck in folders that had a lot of files in them. My idle cpu utilization now hovers between 8-30% on core 1 and core 2 stays sleep for the most part.

If you're rooted, look in system/bin on the root directory and see if you have a file named gsiff.daemon (also do the same for qosmgr) If so, add .bak to the end of it.
this will kill the high android usage!

I offloaded my Titanium Backup folder to my PC & deleted it from my phone plus made sure to get rid of any corrupted pictures (aimed at the 0 bytes ones). So not only is my battery life better, but the performance is also much better because the CPU(s) aren't really doing anything until I actually use the phone. Note that this is an issue I've only had w/ Touchwiz Jellybean and never had it with CM10 or any AOSP based rom. This is a bug that Samsung/Google really needs to get on top of because I'm sure that a lot of people are having this problem and don't know how to fix it.

My battery life has been amazing
This was after the weekend. Friday Morning I charged it and then I was off I went to work. After I went to a party didn't charge my phone. Woke up in some girls room. Still surprised I had more than 50%. I didn't go home that day and everyone had an iphone so I couldn't charge my baby. Wake up go home and I had this much and I was like wow holy sh**.
Stats: I had a little over an hour of talk time and a little under 2 hours of screen time.
Yeah I know why is battery life good if you don't use the phone but dude seriously I had a GS2 and drainage on standby was so bad. I like that they improved standby battery drainage this was beautiful. I have the latest Stock Jelly Bean. Rooted, debloated myself with stock Kernel. Might add a new Kernel but don't really need to this is just great.

I was having this exact issue and fixed mine by copying my external SD card contents onto my desktop and then reformatting my sd card. After that I just transfered my old pictures and videos back to my card.
For people who are having poor battery life, the best thing you can do to help others help you is post a screen shot or at least write down what is using your battery and how long you have screen on time. When I was having my media issue it was obvious when looking at the battery usage since my cpu was constantly awake. Just saying "i have poor battery life" really doesn't explain much at all.

That would explain things... I had my media scanner get stuck and take down my battery a couple of days ago... after a reboot though it was much better... Though I should have let this run longer on battery just to see how long it would run.

Ok so since the JB update it seems my battery has been draining a bit faster. I've tried turning off sync and all the other normal stuff but it doesn't seem to help. Here are my stats and the slight lapse on the time line was when I was in CWM doing a nandroid backup.

I don't think that you can compare yours since you did a backup, that always drains the battery more than normal use would.

Well all I can say is its normally like that. I pull my phone off the charger at 7 am and by 4pm its usually at 10% with maybe an hour of on screen time. I'm just trying to figure out why it dies so much quicker than what most people are posting here. I try to keep everything closed and off and I've frozen all the bloatware.

I have the same problem and it started right after updating to 4.2.2 without rooting. I noticed that after a reboot, my battery % jumped about 20%. And then I lost that 20% all of a sudden and the phone shut down.
I installed a clean copy of AuROM and wiped everything, but it is still doing it. I just saw the battery charge jump from 60% to 80% after a reboot while the phone was plugged into the computer.
Does CWM still clear battery stats? I'm going to do a fresh clean install of the .423 ftf and see if it goes away.

It's doing it again. I rebooted and my battery percentage jumped about 30%

It's not happening to me anymore.
What I did was to use battery calibration, an app from the playstore for rooted devices. Someone pointed out to me that after a rom install, the battery stats kinda gets messed up. I think it should be the job of Sony to do that, but since we're rooted, maybe there's something that made this happen to our phones...

Could be. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it. I had found the calibration app before reading your message and I ran it and it was fixed. I am having issues with my push notifications so I did a wipe/factory reset through CWM and now my battery is all messed up again. It jumped 40% and then it went back down. Now it's back up. I haven't deleted the battery stats file again so it probably has to do with that.
Must be a bug with 10.3.A.0.423

nah im back to 4.1.2 much better , i dont care about transparent bar if i got many bugs such as battery drain GPS, etc..

I have the exact same issue using v14 of the root tool kit. Now waiting to charge up.

I have the same problem and it started right after updating to 4.2.2 without rooting. I noticed that after a reboot, my battery % jumped about 20%. And then I lost that 20% all of a sudden and the phone shut down.
I installed a clean copy of AuROM and wiped everything, but it is still doing it. I just saw the battery charge jump from 60% to 80% after a reboot while the phone was plugged into the computer.

I actually have this exact issue on stock, unrooted. It seems like every time I reboot the phone, the battery percentage will jump up by anywhere from 10-30% (though not always). I usually charge it up when this happens so that it doesn't just drop to 0 on me. I only wish there was a way to calibrate the battery on a stock, unrooted device. I have yet to have it drop to zero and shut down, though.
Does anyone happen to know if there's a solution for an unrooted device?
