Excessive inexplicable battery drain? Look here.

I would try the EK02 modem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367695
The EK02 modem may cure LOS and could potentially cure other problems such as what's discussed in this thread.
If you changed from EG30 to EG12/EG31, you cannot at this time go to the EK02 modem because it is not a full modem, just a "patch" to the EG30 modem
Background: Previously I was experiencing absolutely horrid battery life with the Epic Touch, Sprint even replaced the device with a brand new replacement and it still occurred. (When I say horrid battery life I mean I would watch a 21 minute show on Netflix via wifi and go from 100% to 72%) A full battery, phone untouched, wouldn't last 6 hours.
Anyway, I know that others have had this issue as well, and from what I've seen they are running the EG30 modem. (As was I)
When I odined to EG12 my battery improve significantly. (Not perfect but much better)
[Discharging from 99%] with constant usage/screen on the phone used 11%.
That's about what I'd use in 10 minutes previously.

Open odin, place modem.bin in phone slot, boot into download mode and start the process.
Important note, you cannot go back to EG30 at this point as it hasn't been successfully pulled from a phone.

Well just a word of warning, currently if you flash EG12, you can't back to EG30 and some people are reporting problems receiving calls when the phone is in sleep mode when using EG12.

I forgot to add that you can't go back at this point, I will add that to the OP.
As far as problems receiving calls? I have had NO ISSUE with that whatsoever and my phone has problems sleeping whether I have EG30 or EG12.
I think this "fix" is more of a remedy for a certain percentage of phones that are experiencing inexplicable excessive battery drain on the EG30 radio.

seems like i didnt help. did i pull it out wrong or it isnt working ?

Sorry, I thought I sent you an pm back. The method we have to pull the modem doesn't work properly on our CDMA phones.
No one has been successful on pulling the EG30 radio.

I can't wait for Samsung to update the radios. I'm jealous of all the people getting 16-20 hours of battery life. My battery life is the same as my evo4g, maybe worse

So this makes me wonder ... WTF is different from my EG30 bin, where I've gotten excellent battery life out of the box, and people like matty's? Is it possible that the hardware and/or software on the cell towers in matty's area is different from in my area, and the config in his area doesn't play nice with the stock radio firmware on this phone?
It's the only thing that makes any sense to me on these signal related battery issues. matty has even gone through two phones with the same issue. I'd think the chance of that is rather low, unless his region received a bad batch of phones.
I just don't get it.

hmm the eg12 was pulled from the rom/root hub thread in android development section. saying it borks some phones. i guess ill just wait on this. knowing my luck ill be the % that gets their phone borked

Where are you reading that?

I think we should have a thread where people post what major city they're in, their battery life for a full charge, and their modem. Maybe gathering this data could help resolve if its a tower thing.

I don't think it has anything to do with the towers. I had my phone in airplane mode when I was playing with different settings [with EG30] and the issues still existed.
I would be interested in knowing if there are different hardware versions besides the D710.10.
I still think it's a modem/kernel combo issue.

This thread has the folks who are reporting the issue that calls aren't coming through with EG12 when their phone is in sleep mode. If they connect their phone to USB power, they come through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312790&page=2
I'm not suggesting it will happen to everyone, just that these folks are reporting this experience for their setups.

I see that.
Obviously I wouldn't recommend flashing this if you aren't having the issue.
But to be completely honest with you, if you're having the battery drain that I'm talking about [and I've seen others with this issue too], it's pretty useless.
I mean, 6 hours of battery life with the phone not being touched dude.
But yeah, no call issues here.

Ensure those that are having call issues don't have there phones face down as the call will be silenced I believe if they have that setting enabled.

Verizon GN terrible wifi signal

Is this normal for the GN? Do I have a faulty device? On wifi, my download speeds are horrible for this type of device. At home, I have comcast broadband, and a comcast router. My GS2 destroyed downloads at a ridiculous rate. We're talking MBs a second. Full wifi signal. My GN barely holds 3 bars. Consistently downloading at a couple hundreds kb/s
Before you say anything, no it's not my router. I've 2 laptops, a PS3, a kindle, and a TV, all hooked up to the router, and they've no problem.
If this is the way it's going to be, and exchanging the device won't help, I guess I'll cancel verizon, and head to sprint and pick up another sg2. IDK.
Anything guys? For a device like this to be faulty in an area like downloads via wifi, especially when verizon charges up the butt for data, it's unacceptable.

I am actually going to say it. It could be your router. The GN is finnicky as hell with wifi channels. Wifi channels will affect signal strength, stability of connection, and speed of intarwebz.
Now before you say it: Not all wifi chipsets and devices are created equally. It is a phone, it doesn't exactly have a hi gain antenna in it

For a $750 phone, you think the parts would be equal to other phones. If it is my router, I have like 6 other devices on it that work just fine, so I think it I can safely blame it on the phone. Deal breaker I think.

To each their own.
To not even consider my suggestion of checking out other wifi channels is a disservice to the device and yourself.

Sounds like you should swoop an iPhone. If you are using a N Draft router you need to select a certain channel range (Google it, you'll find it). I pull 10-20 MBPs on WiFi. Its not that hard to change your wifi channel btw.

Ya well I had a gs2 and absolutely no problems. This phones a bit laggy, battery life seems much worse, even with juice defender. Paying more per month for it. I guess I expected more.

Here's a question, with data disabled, and only text messaging, why did my battery drain 5% in 6 minutes? I literally stood and had a conversation and looked at my phone, and it went from 38% to 33% in 6 minutes. This is also the extended battery
In fact, it just drained 3% in the time it took me to write this post out.

If it took 3% to post this, you are either the world's slowest typer or lying. I am sorry but you lost your credibility with me when you refused a simple suggestion that would have taken you all of 3 minutes to test and instead decided to bash the device. Your agenda was not to come here for help.

Yes I did come here for help. I would have liked another suggestion other than one pertaining to messing with my router channels. Which in turn would probably interfere with the other 6 devices on my router and I'd end up going around in a circle.

I guess we will never know, seeing how you know better without ever trying
What other solutions did you think you would find for your device? A cantenna? Changing channels is the first thing you should try in these cases.
Could we have determined that maybe something is wrong with your device? Sure. But you can't teach someone who knows it all.

Whatever dude. Battery in this thing sucks. Not worth it. I have to be afraid to turn on my Nexus or my battery will drain. I timed it for about 20 minutes. All I was doing was moving around in my settings and in my phone, no browsing, no games, etc. My battery drained 1% every 2 minutes, probably take a few seconds. Just to roam around my phone, my battery was dying practically by the minute. This is with the extended battery and NOW juice defender ultimate. No network, wifi only, full brightness.
Why would I lie? I have no reason to lie. Truly I was looking for answers at first, then you got all upset because this phones your baby. If this phone's charge lasts you all day, you apparently don't use it the way it was made to be used.
I'm now turning on auto brightness which will obviously make a difference, but will totally offset the ENTIRE point of purchasing this device, which is the screen and it's beauty. That is, unless you're sitting right next to a charger.
Whatever. No help here.

Changing wireless channels is normal troubleshooting for any wireless device with connection issues. I got upset because this phone is my baby? Mine works. Not upset in the least!
I used to do Microsoft support when I was younger--
You know what we used to do with difficult folks like you who refused to try troubleshooting due to them 'knowing' so much? Format their machines and send them on their way. You just can't help those who know it all. Why ask for help if you already know everything?

battery drain issue
I started experiencing the same kind of battery drain issue you're talking about (if I was reading a kindle with screen brightness at minimum in airplane mode my battery would last less than an hour, and that was extended life battery) and it turned out I had a bad phone. Verizon replaced it (finally, after I showed them a screen dying with dead pixels and off colors) and my battery life increased. But not as much as I would have liked! Turned out bad phone ruined my extended life battery. Got a new one, no longer have "battery anxiety" - maybe call the company, explain what's happening, and try a replacement before you decide "all" GNEX are crap.
WIFI reach on phone is not as good as on my Galaxy 10.1 Tab, but my D/L speeds are pretty much consistent with everything else on network, so all your problems could be the same.

LOL @ This epic fail of a thread. The OP is beyond help as there's no helping the intentionally obtuse.

My goodness, I must have been pretty irked to have made this thread from phone... where I couldn't even see the difference in sizes..
I hope the sarcasm was obvious enough that people aren't setting everything to the settings in the pictures...
I was pointing attempting to point out that, by default your settings are in kill-the-crap-out-of-battery mode and that a few simple adjustments
easily got me 4 hours of screen-on time.. and you guys aren't me (definitely not proud of this addiction).. you'd probably get 4-5 off the jump with a clean install followed by turning off the nonsense.
Seriously... I am appointing myself PhD... nay, Pharmacist ... If you have problems with your stock build, Pm me, with reasonable detail describing the issue.
I am definitely going to regret this and will probably throw in the towel after a while.. but for the love of (insert special individual or super deity) please stop making new threads (yes.. Like this one... jerk..) about the same tired things..

There is no ICS bug that I have been made aware of that is actually on every release candidate. If you have had the same problem, on every build... which are in some
cases very different from one another... then let's examine the variables.. then let's read this

@Phaker
If you want to layer on top of what you did for even more performance + battery like you can grab tegrak (I know you got pay for it but worth it) switch governer to wheatley (assuming you have the latest TM Kernel installed) undervolt each step to -50mah (-75mah at each step works for me but can be unstable for other -50mah seems to be pretty universal) THEN overclock to 1.252ghz (let your ROM settle and do some usage tests) if 1.252 hold (which it should) push to 1.3ghz. Also for wifi go to setting advanced and set your sleep policy to either Never or Only when plugged in.
This is what I personally did that seems to fix all my major issues as far as huge battery drain. Finally allowing me device to go into a deep sleep and leave wifi on plus killer battery life & performance. And I am not running any custom scripts or anything......

After applying all these settings I left my phone off the charger last night. Went to bed with 95% battery. (mind you all my sync and even location services + maps everything is on) woke up 8 hour later and was down to 91% now that is some sexy deep sleepage and killer battery drain. This is what I would expect to see.

I try not to advertise when possible when I'm on here.
Just a preference, and I have exceptions.
Chainfires one example. I think we all owe him an app or two.. (I paid for 6 lmao only use 2)

two things I would like you to check, if you will.. there is a pic in the OP about 1
1) settings/WiFi/(menu btn)/advanced/on when sleep=
2) also what does"system/etc/WiFi/wpa_supplicant_scan"=
(this is likely the problem, in which case it is no problem )
let me know what you find.

When I get some time I'll flashback and give that a check and I'll come back and let you know. When I went to advance on Wi-Fi it definitely was set right. It was set to on when sleeping.

How's the battery life on this one?? :victory:

This is an odd post. But I am using some of its advice!:laugh:

i feel like i just read a post written by nicki minaj.

Phone waking up for no reason - eating up battery

My phone screen keeps waking up for no reason! It has been eating up all my battery because of this.
I'm running the CM10.1 Feb 07 nightly
Any idea why this happens??

Every time you turn your screen on it'll show awake.

I'm not turning it on, it is doing so automatically

So out of those 18 hours you never turned your screen on? Then you have a ghost of a phone bro! I've never seen that or anyone report that their phone turned on by itself with out getting a call or a text (if your phone is setup like that)... Maybe someone else will help you with more knowledge. No need to make multiple posts about your stuff either. Either here are or in the CM10 thread would've sufficed.

My phone will do this sometimes aswell, only thing that has worked is a reset when I discover it happening.

Just fyi, the phone in my sign is wrong. Sgh-t999 is current phone.

Are you sure you don't hit the home or power button while it is in your pocket?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Unfortunately, I remember having this problem too, but I experienced it on stock ROM both before and after I rooted. I'd have my phone sitting idle nearby and the screen would come on for no reason and would stay on indefinitely regardless of the screen timeout settings, until I manually turned it off. Sometimes it would only happen every couple hours, other times it would happen every 10 minutes or so. Was a major pain in the ass.
Every time it happened, there was never a message or alert of any kind received that would explain the phone waking on its own.
Sadly I was never able to figure out the cause but the issue resolved itself much later on after I had to revive my phone from an unrelated soft brick.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

So the moral and solution to this story is soft brick your device then recover it should come back to normal lol jk
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, mine was doing that at one point too. Not sure why, went away after I flashed another ROM and stayed away even after I reflashed the same ROM back. Randomness.

Now that people are providing some useful posts it will be figured out, oh wait, not one post has given any insight on the matter lol. People saying it happened to me too does no one any good besides upping their post count, and putting some comfort to the OP that he's alone... Maybe fart apps are the cause! My guess is something with in the stock firmware, as I stock and read every post of most of the AOSP based roms and never seen that before, but I occasionally read TouchWiz based rom threads and I might have something like that before. I've ran stock for maybe a total of a week since this phone came out, so it's easy for me to have never seen this before.

Hey buddy, I meant no ill words or anything. I usually am not hostile, I just don't text with attitude (Good or bad) really. People misunderstand that all the time, this is the internet, put your emotions away. I'm 100% serious. If people were to be more helpful then just saying "me too", the issue can be solved or at least have a reason of why it is happening. Post what roms/apps they are using, when the awakening happens, and what apps are running in the background.... those kind of post are helpful and can help pin point what is going on.

I'm having some type of similar issue as yours. Except my phone randomly reboots or just doesn't turn on at all. I've noticed this more recently then in the past.
My phone isn't over clocked or under volted. Governors that I am running are On demand and scheduler is on deadline.
I, too also get random and I mean random screen wake. I thought maybe my phone may be faulty? I read somewhere in the FAQ's section stating S3's with faulty power buttons? Does that have anything to do with this?
Also, OP, did you check to see if any apps are running in the background keeping the phone up? Or is it just randomly keeping the phone "on"?

I just got 2 and a half days off my new Anker. Try clearing the ram in task manager. Will help kill rogue apps. For some damn reason if I use slacker for 5 minutes even it will stay running for like 8 hours, even if I'm signed off. Something is draining your battery you just have to figure out what it is. Apps can get stuck running and kill your battery.

Something seems to be wrong, very wrong. How many hours has the screen been on? Unless the screen on time is +4,5 - 5 hours you need to find an app that more closely checks battery usage.

That is the missing link. Note the game use. 3-4 hours of game play and this is just normal.

Up where it shows the % left and says discharging, tap on it and down at the bottom of the graph, does it show your phone being awake more than the screen is on? Maybe post a screen shot. Also, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133436 Have you tried BBS yet? What does it show in your kernel wakelocks? And as stated, heavy gaming=heavy battery discharge...what is your screen on time?

Thanks for the replies guys and I only played real racing 3 for 30 minutes only. Screen time is less then 2 hours I constantly have a good signal, I looked for a battery drain app but it said it'd take 3 days to show actual results. And I can't read BBS.

You may want to get better battery stats from the store and look at the partial wakes and see if an app preventing sleep.
I was getting sucky battery live too, not that bad though. I ended downloading the latest stock rom for the N7105 (XXXDMB6) stick with the stock Tmobile modem. I'm running saber kernel 17. I then use Setcpu and select pegasusq and zen options on the main page. Battery life has been much improved. Everything I have tried that is built on a TMobile rom has sucked in battery life for me.

Damn dude. I'm going 4 hours and almost 2 hours screen on of fb videos and temple run. And JM at 82%

You must have some crazy wakelocks going on. Like other guy said, check you battery and where it has that graph on it, click it and compare the awake with on-screen times and if not matching up and see more awake hash marks, then have a rouge app keeping the phone awake, which will hit on the battery.
Can do the Ram issue, however will come right back.
Honestly best way to do it, is reset phone/wipe and add one app back at a time.
I have wakelocks too, but nothing crazy. That and have an extended battery, so don't care to wipe yet.
Kind of a hassle, but probably your best option.

This is your answer to each and every battery thread you've started. This has been told to you each and every time. You have never done it. You do not need to start a new thread every time you have a question. Either take the advice people have given you or stop asking so many questions. Next time you have a battery related question go to the BBS thread and post your log. I swear, I hope i never see you post another battery thread again.
Is it just me or does anyone else seriously think this guy is trolling?
BTW, how's that BBS log coming along?
