Battery problem

Hi all,
I'm on ddjp6 rooted.
Battery stand by is good.
But during using internet, fully charged battery expires in just 20 minutes or less...
The phone immediatly shuts down after showing low battery warning. (in 5 seconds)
Is this a rom problem?
Because I think on official eclair , the battery was good.
Can a custom rom solve this?
Please suggest me...
Thanks in advance...
With best regards...
:banghead:

By internet you mean wifi or 3G? I have the same problem, just with mobile data, though. Don't know how to fix it... Anybody has a solution?

Try battery calibration,if that doesn't work try flash some other ROm and finally if that doesn't work buy new battery.There's no other solution

I use Indroid [email protected] ROM and my battery lasts quite a long time

Guys ,how much time the battery stands with mobile data on.. i.e, on edge network

How old is your battery ?
This may be indication of battery is about to get worse and die
During stand-by battery doesn't needs much power so it sustains standby.
A new battery should be around 500/599INR. at samsung service center.

My battery is 20 months old, but still lasts for 3-4 days easily.
I'm using Custom OC ROM.
Drain battery to "0" and charge it continuously for 3-4 hours, keeping phone switched off. Do this once a month. This fixes problem.
If u've rooted then do battery calibration...

Hello,
My battery expires in one day with 3G only activate... If you want to use 3G all the time like me,'re trying to install a firewall (avast mobile for example) to choose only the apps that need to communicate on the internet... Thank you for keeping me informed...

Rogers Galaxy S3 battery drains ultrafast

Hi folks,
I have had my rogers S3 for several days now. while i love it very much but one issue frustrates me. I get only about 6-7 hours for one charge on a maybe a little bit more than moderate use.
I read somewhere there was an error in one of the system config files but that article was talking about the international version. do any of you experience the same?
My GS3 battery life is going against all the reviews. help.

I had the same problem, I did a factory reset and it seems to be considerably better now.
not sure why the phone kept going into deep discharge, but it hasn't done it since and it's been a week or so now.. is your phone also warm near the USB connector?
The error in the config file was just in regards to the reporting of usage.. Cell Standby usage was being over-reported.. I am not seeing that as being the case on my Rogers SGS3..
One thing I did do is nuke all the rogers installed apps.. I got sick of the VVM+ whining constantly about not being able to work over WiFi.. I just used Titanium Backup to freeze all of the rogers apps.. (rather than uninstalling them).. battery life is quite good actually.. very surprised.

thank you for the info. how is a factory reset done? does that mean i would lose everything i downloaded already? i will give the Titanium Backup a try to get rid of the rogers apps too to see if it helps. yeah, the phone gets pretty warm after a short while.

Are you on LTE, My battery gets about the same with LTE always on since it does consume a lot of power

Well.. this may not be a fix but it really worked forr me. Battery time was at least trippeled.
I drained my battery until the phone shut down, then I connected the charger WITHOUT turning on the phone (allright I KNOW it sounds stupid). Noticed the time to charge it fully increased from 1.5-2 hours to 4-5 hours.
I had to charge the phone during the day before, now it last for 2 days at least.
The cell standby is still wrong but that is just a indication fault, this was a real problem for me.

it's the rogers apps!!!
FYI - disable the rogers apps (all of them) and your battery life will DRASTICALLY increase. I've tested this with them enabled (battery life sucked), and disabled (battery lasted for like 1.5+ days).
Oh and let rogers know their apps suck like I did. The more people that report it the more chance they might actually fix them. A fun way is to do it to their twitter account @rogershelps
If you decide to keep them disabled, be sure to call Rogers and tell them to remove any of the features those apps use...thus reducing you monthly bill.

Forgive my ignorance, I have a VZW GS3. What are Rogers apps? What app names should I look for to see if they're on my phone? Thanks to VZW I cant unlock and root my phone this may not matter.

why don't you return it for a new one?

Rogers is one of the provider here in Canada...similar to AT&T. They each have their own bloatware that they install in their phones.

With root you can either delete them or use titanium backup to freeze them (stop them from running or updating).
I did this (freeze the Rogers apps and most of the samsung ones) and get all day battery life (6am to midnight) with between 4 & 5 hours of screen time.

I've found that battery life is related to cell coverage. If I have 3-5 bars and I'm not using the phone I could lose about a percent of battery per hour and my phone will run at a 40-45 when I do use it. If I only have 1 or 2 bats and it keeps switching between 3g and 4G I could easily lose 6-10 percent an hour and my phone will run at 50 or so degrees celcius. A restart seems to help the phone get a better lock. All this temps were cpu temps.

I just did a wipe/reset and found that this worked for me. I couldn't squeeze out a day with it and now go to bed with 30-40 percent left.

Battery life
My battery life on a debloated stock build was average. I was getting about 16-18hrs on moderate use. I've recently tried CPU Editor battery saver profile and so far its going great. I'll post back on the results after I go through a few charging/discharging cycles.

[MOD/SCRIPT]CPU Editor SGS3 Edition - Secret to Die Hard Battery

I'm with rogers and my battery is pretty awful too. Not quite as bad as yours, but still not as good as I'd hope with LTE off.

What kind of usage do you have though ? For example I work with a guy who has the same model and was complaining about battery. I checked his stats and was at 35 percent battery with 4 hours display time. If you're getting 5 to 6 hours screen on time that's enough to kill battery. If its in standby for 6 to 7 hours and battery is dying then something is wrong

I've had very similar issues. Tried several ROMs and had charging problems and finally ended up on cm10 and it took about 3.5 hours to charge from 30% to 85%. Then dropped to 80% after only thirty minutes off the charger. Not sure exactly what to do to fix the issue.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 battery life on normal usage.

Hi guys,
I recently switched to CM 10 (Android 4.1.2) and the battery life is significantly lower than what I had on the stock ROM and the new Sense UI... I guess.
My phone won't run longer than 10-15 hours a day with normal usage, which means Wi-fi and 3G always on, screen on automatic brightness being used for about 1 hour in total (for one charge). However Android OS, Cell Standby and Phone Idle still account for the most battery usage, which I find weird. I have no wakelocks and my device goes to deep sleep when not used.
Is this normal behavior with the new Cyanogenmod and Jellybean or are my expectations too high? I already read most threads concerning battery life, but most of them discuss problems such as wakelocks or similar issues. My question relates to the normal behavior of CM 10.
I am grateful for all replies on the matter or personal experiences.

It's known that CM10 battery life is worse than stock JB. You can try different kernels and different governors, but it's a trade-off between life and performance.

I don't understand, I thought that CM is stripped out of unnecessary background processes and apps. As long as I'm not using any CPU or GPU intensive apps like games it should consume less battery than the stock ROM. Is there something I'm missing?

Maybe the updated kernel and drivers give better power effeciency. When the JB kernel source is released, hopefully CM10 and other AOSP ROMs will also improve.

You were saying about on screen time?
Sent from my faster than SGS3 HOX.

CM 10 really uses a lot of battery but of you could switch off wifi and 3g when not using, and clearing all the apps frequently in the recent menu may help... My battery then lasts from about the start of the day till night though the batterys now quite old.

i got a weird battery life yesterday, i was walking from work to home, i started watching videos on youtube, looked at the battery, 31%, after few videos looked again, still 31%, i walked 41 mins with a total of 9% of battery drain, i also played a game for about 25 mins, it was a really battery life.

That's pretty much my battery life as well. Regarding age, I'm really concerned, as I'm not able to open the phone and just replace it. But I guess that much better smartphones will come along before I consider getting a new battery and it won't be worth it any more.

I get that sometimes as well. I pick up the phone a couple of times and the battery is always at, say, 50%. Then, a couple of hours later I read a message and it suddenly jumps to 41 or lower. But from what I've read that's normal and no cause of concern.

I heard what causes the CM10 to have such an awful battery life is something that was supposed to save power when you lock your phone [Which is normally quiet often] and actually causes it to depelt, so it obvoiusly doesn't affect screen time
CM10 is a horrible ROM, get something else... I used LiquidSmooth for a while, it's a great ROM
Now running ParanoidAndroid 2.53
Btw, Stock ROM had a wonderful battery life, I only realize that now ... lots of ROMs can't reach that much

That's exactly what I did, flashed the old RUU and installed all updates. I don't know how the guys from HTC managed to do it, but the battery life on Android 4.1.1 and Sense 4+ is AMAZING. I easily get 24 hours with normal usage, over 2 days if I'm really careful.

This is what I got during a night sleep with cm 10.
I installed it yesterday so its kinda new tot me. What causes this?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Probably some nasty wakelocks. Install with wipe/factory reset if you didn't so already. Then try betterbatterystats (search xda) to find out what is causing wakelocks.

[Q] SGW I8150 drain battery very very fast after i flashed it with CM-10.1 alpha6

i just flashed my samsung galaxy wonder to have CM-10.1 alpha6 a few days ago. and i realised that it drain battery very fast.. just simply fully charge it to 100% and left there with wifi,bluetooth and all applications off, yet the battery drained in half day..
if open 3G, the battery drain 30% in 20 minutes.
can sumeone tell me what's the problem and how can i solve it? thx a lots

Why don't you try to flash another kernel..
I personally recommend kernel by hurtsky, or by castagnaIT.
that's only my opinion..
you're welcome to try..

It's just the same way like how you flashed the cm10.1 rom..
Try to head to this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218087
There's also an instruction on a proper way to flash it..
And don't forget to thanks him if you like his kernel

CM10.1 aka Android 4.2.2 uses higher voltage compared to CM10 and CM9(especially CM9).
So its understandable. But in CM10.1, SGW can use 1.0Ghz and still fluently do a lot of things.
Try underclocking and undervolting.

I have CM 10.2 everythings is ok..battery consumption is depends from life time of your battery then the number of apps and services activated...

Change to new battery
hmmm.... maybe it's because of your battery.. from my experience , you should buy new battery if the battery is used more than 1 year... i had experinced before when my battery drain faster, after i bought new battery.. the problem solved...

Guys. Stop telling him it´s the battery. If it were the battery the draining would be already that fast before flashing CM10.1, but not just after.
A bloated and aged battery can of course be the reason, but this doesn´t have to be always the case. My stock Samsung battery is already 2 years old but working like new. However I have to admit that I don´t use it that often. Having here 3 batteries I´m changing them regulary every few months.
This draining will be more related to the LCD version in his phone, which he should read about and check before flashing a CM10.1 based rom. Additionally the recent Google updates can cause even more battery drain than the LCD Rev.3 issue alone, which has to be taken also into account.

[Q] CM 10.1.2 Terrible Battery Life?

Hello,
I have had Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 for awhile now and i have only had one issue. My battery life has gone down dramatically compared to the stock touchwiz rom. I usually take my phone to school on standby and airplane mode and i loose about 20% in 3 hours. If I use the stock rom I loose about 4-7% in 3 hours. I looked in the battery settings and it said Screen, Google Play Services, and Cell standby took up the most. I'm thinking it's the kernel but I do not want to take the chance of flashing a new one. If there is any other solution please let me know.

you might need to re calibrate your battery.
also, check if you have any wake locks using better battery stats.

Here's a recent thread where they are working on similar issues. Won't be exact to your situation but may help you to track it down on your own.

If you are putting the phone in Airplane mode, make sure the Location Services are off.

using themes and live wallpaper also is bad for battery. really bad!

i installed CM10.2 on my old Samsung Captivate and gave to my mom to use. Turned everything off and I'm getting excellent battery life. She gets 4-5 hours of talk time and still has 70+% at the end of the day.
