Hi guys,
My gio is losing battery at incredible speed - 5% every few seconds, and it's not even hot.
Whatever the rom, the kernel I put on it it's the same. I have tried to discharge-wipe battery-full charge a thousand times. I'd have thought the calibration was faulty here but I have tried Battery Calibration with no result.
Something weird is that on Battery Calibration it says it's at 4mV. Shouldn't it be more ?
It always stays at 4mV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks...
Turn off mobile data when you're not using it, saves lots of battery

It's not about mobile data or wifi or anything, it's just unnatural to lose that much battery ! It's not even heating.
Maybe your battery died?
My sisters battery exploded and caused the same **** :/

I assure you I have tried without anything on, bluetooth and all ! It was working just fine before (idk what caused this sudden change).
Forgot to mention I bought a new battery and the same s*** happens =(.

Yeah that's my last resort but I would prefer to fix it myself, this will take ages =/
By the way is there a flash counter on this device ? If I just flash a stock rom I'm good to go ?
at me its just when i use it , scroll for music/youtube / browser/msn , it goes down very fast , like 4-5% in 1-2 min , but if i keep the screen off and i dont use mobile data network/wifi/BT i can listen music for over 10 hours with no stop (I tested it) it something with battery or what ?

Gio doesnt have a flash counter, just make sure its kn s stock rom wich has been given out by samsung, there are also unnoficial roms, leaked maybe, these arent given by kies but are on sammobile

discharging at that rate without any heat means a single thing: battery is of very low capacity.
My phone last usually 3-4 days on a charge, but without any use it will last 10-13 days. Using camera of any stressful game will discharge the battery 5-10%/minute, but in the same time phone gets hot.
what's about cpu usage, do you checking how many process was running?
No flash counter?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
The heck that means I can always get warranty if something happens mwhahaha. Lol I'm a loser sorry. But that's actually awesome. Mine would be at like 50 if it had one.

True, just make sure that you flash a stock rom when going to service center, and no custom recovery, kernel, root etc, these all wipe when flashing a stock rom

My wife's Gio has the same problem (fast power drops, 3-4mv,...).
At the moment I didn't find a solution yet.

don't use your phone
and set clock speed low, maximum 600 min 100 or something, maybe even lower..
Have you got the official gio firmware? if not try to install it & do full battery stats/data wipe...maybe the problem can be a bug in your current ROM.

This is not the way to work the math hehe; if the number is equal or higher than 99.5 then it should show up 100 otherwise if lower , then shows up 99. So I think its a firmware trouble like someone before have said.

Any suggestion 2 fix dis..
Sent from my Samsung i9003 n HTC Desire
There is no problem, this is by design, so there is nothing to be fixed.
So I just got my GS3 and I am loving it. But here are my issues, when scrolling on webpages it will just stop and say "com. android.process.gapps" have stopped working. When that happens it will freeze the webpage for around 5-10 seconds. It has become very annoying. Also I think there is something draining my battery. Because it lasts only a few hours thats with the screen brightness very low. Where I work its hard to maintain a 2G signal and I know that can drain the battery but with my prior phone(HTC glacier) it didn't run down the battery that much. I have a strong feeling that if I root the phone and install faux kernal and a nice rom I wouldn't have any problems. But I do not want to lose my warranty if something goes wrong.
Just wanted to bump this question

This. You'll be able to flash gapps(if the ROM doesn't already come with it) and should fix that error and the kernel should help with battery life. And you can reset your trip counter and flash a stock ROM if you ever need to send it in.

I was thinking about unrooting if I ever have to return the phone for any warranty issues. I have a strong feeling that t-mobile tech support will not have any help on the phone. But I will call them. This is my 3rd Android phone and I have rooted the last two. Its like an addiction its hard to stop :laugh:

Yes, unroot as well as resetting flash counter and going back to stock ROM and you shouldn't have ANY issues sending it back anytime for warranty(if you ever needed to).
Addiction is right...I had my S3 rooted with a custom ROM within 10 minutes of unpacking it Couldn't be happier!

re: flashing on a low battery
Back in the day, I remember devs would always say to wait and flash on a FULL battery... this was back 2 yrs ago or so...
Anyways, now these days I never see dev's mentioning it. Is it not necessary anymore?
thanks, just wondering.
Not necessarily the flashing process does take a bit of juice but you don't need to have 100%, iv done flashes on 30% before with nothing wrong happening. Usually a flash takes around 7-10% battery for me depending on what im flashing.
I'm not an expert but I don't think it's necessary.. I rarely make sure my battery is full before I flash and never had a problem.. Just gotta make sure your phone has enough juice to complete the process though.. Not sure what would happen if something interrupted th flash.. Probably wouldn't be good
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
That's because if you run out of juice while flashing, you are SOL.
A full battery means that has the least likelihood of it happening.
Do what you want, don't blame the dev if it happens to you.
Yeah it's really a choice. Like me, I have been on low battery but I just connect my charger and flash roms while the phone is charging. Never had s problem

Although don't flash when your battery looks like that lol...if you do you gotta bigger pair then me. Or more money, either way.

Lol that works too. I like to at least have 20% when i flash because i never in pure what kind of load a rom is going to need on an initial flash. After that when I'm flashing back and forth i already know and adjust things as such

Or...you could just wait until the battery is charged over and above your "personal threshold" before flashing. GOD FORBID! LOL
I don't ever see myself being in recovery for 6 hours... but hey, you never know. Some of us might need that much time to flash a ROM.
Lol i fell asleep while flashing the other day...how? don't ask cause i have no clue. Woke up to full charge in recovery, that's how i discovered it.

I've never had a problem with flashing on low battery either, but this is exactly what I do. I just flash with it connected to the charger.
Yeah i don't think its much as an issue anymore...like previously mentioned. I personally never flash anything less than 30% for minor flashes and less than 60% for Roms. And this my rock bottom threshold limit i follow to prevent the "unthinkable" from happening.
Its an issue for the epic touch because after every rom flash I would lose like 20%. Also when the phone would freeze from an app force closing and I restart the phone, battery percentage would drop 30-40 percent.
sent from my beastly T-989
I would recommend at least 20%.
i have a arc s,and after turning off the battery drain quickly and phone also get heated..................

It is not a battery related problem. I have the same issue:
- tried different battery form another phone that works fine and gets drain quickly on my phone
- tried a brand new Sony battery that drains up on my phone and works well in another "known good" arc S
- if you take out the battery from the phone a put it back in after 5 hours the battery is still ok
- if you just turn off the phone - the battery will continue his depletion and will be fully discharged in 4 hours
- I opened the phone and took a thermal image of the board on an off and there is a hot spot around the Compass IC
- however Compass is working fine
- it still could be a SW issue that could have brought he phone to operate in a configuration that activates sections of HW with conflicting level of voltages causing a current path at low impedance dissipating a lot of energy
- I wanted to do a factory reset but did not manage to do it right now for lack of time - will do in the next couple of days and let you know
- another potential problem could be related to the Power Supply IC PM80xx which could be damaged and would need replacement

With me it's exactly the same thing!
I tried the same steps for you: With 50%, the phone hangs up.
What if I restart it with 70% it back to 20%.
I suspect we have problem with the battery level sensor.
I bought another phone.
