I have got a strange problem.
My Samsung S5830i Galaxy Ace has a battery drain of 50% per night without usage, WLAN off.
The device is rooted, and I've had an battery issue when using Link2sd with a ext2 partition (bcm.sdhc.3 kept the phone awake all time). I fixed it using ext3. This was six month ago, no problems after that.
Since last week, I got this huge battery drain. BetterBatteryStats tells me the phone is sleeping most of the time, no suspicious processes.
I tried with a battery from a friend, no result.
I factory-reset my phone, no result.
I used a ClockworkMod recovery from the time before link2sd, no result.
The battery is still draining like hell.
What else could I do instead of throwing the phone away? Please help!

It most probably will be your battery problem. How old is your battery? I know you said you tried your friend's battery, but try again with another battery for Ace. Also try using another rom. Do post the results. Hope I Helped

His Battery is not very old. And I think it would be strange it is really a battery problem, because it happens very sudden and the behaviour of the two batteries is the same.
The phone is 1,5 year old. I think about unrooting and try to make use of the guarantee or to get another rom and flash.
But if it would be a software problem, at least the recovery should overwritten the faulty settings, or not?

Once your battery gets as low as 15 to 20%, go to CWM> Advanced> Wipe Battery Stats and then charge for 3 hours without a break. See if there is any change. Follow this beautiful guide by @Venomous Viper 119 on improving the battery backup and performance of ace. Here is the link,

Well, thanks for the link. My newest information is: the battery is draining even when the phone is off. I think, either the NSA installed their new feature, or it is relly a hardware defect

Flash sirkays 6.1.1 ics kernel.In which you can use your phone for 2 days
Then flash hybrid rom(2.3)--I choose this rom coz it is lite and can run very smooth even in 800mhz
Then under clock your phone to 800mhz and use conservative governor

Charge your phone to 100% (421)and then calibrate it....IT SHOULD WORK
maybe reflash ics firmware or change battery or take it to repair center
Just restart your phone.
r
When I plug my charger percentage remains frozen so can’t see wen it is fully charged. And when I try to calibrate it just says 0% battery spent for example when calibrating web browsing... It is as if some battery sensor burned out or something. Could that be the case?

I can’t recharge my battery via charger. I bought this phone from some guy who gave me two batteries and charger (which can recharge without phone-see picture) with it which is not original sony erricson .One battery is orignal and one is not(see picture). So until now I used that charger to charge batteries and not via my phone. So since few days my battery percentage measurement crashed and my phone is unable to read battery status..
Any suggestions please

No it didn’t it just started couple of days ago.
The thing is that I can read my battery status via hard battery calibrator script which means that sensors are still operating. but I cant recharge my phone via usb and I cant reed my battery status on it (in status bar). Also my battery time is extremely poor - like 12 hours max on very little usage (about 8 hours of me sleeping included) or like 3-4 hours of heavy usage. Is there any one here with knowledge to help me? Thanks in advance

OK! I've read your situation. This is the only thing that I can recommend. Try installing a Gingerbread rom and see if the issue persists. If it does then some of your application could be the culprit behind the battery draining issue. But again, thats just a guess...And if it is one of your applications that is causing the drain then you should install bettebatterystats from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Then charge your battery to 100% and try a new calibration method, maybe you haven't heard of it. But if you charge till 100% then take out the battery for exactly 3 minutes and put it back in and power up your phone and use your phone normally as you do and then at 20% or lower go and check betterbatterystats and see what is causing the most of the battery drain.
Have a great day and good luck with the battery drain, hope this helps!!
Did you check the ROM FAQ about battery draining?
Please check it out. There is also an example of making some changes using extweaks which comes installed by default with ICS Resurrection 1.9.1.

i did read about the new method today, but havent had the chance to try it yet.
im not sure if it's a certain application that causes it, but in the battery stats it points out "Android OS", i've seen many galaxy nexus users complain about the same problem, even with stock kernel/roms, and galaxy S2 users that moved from gingerbread to ICS. it's logical that ICS will take more battery because of the control over multiple cpus and all this kind of stuff but im not sure how much it is about that "Android OS".
anyway ill try to have this battery calibration new method once my battery will drain out, and im probably not going to go down to gingerbread again because i already know its not gonna persist because i remmember how my phone behaved on GB and that those 2 systems work completely different and i want to solve the drain per ICS and not solve the issue by downgrading back down to gingerbread.
thank you for your time and help anyway

Hi,
I have a GT-I9100, running CM10. This has been working great for weeks (since first CM10 experimental). Some time back I started experiencing problems while charging, and I thought it was a faulty charge port. This problem magically "solved" itself, but now I am experiencing random shutt off, freezes, part of the screen going black before it turns off completely. Some times I get to the boot animation, some times it turns off and works for a while, before shutting off again. Tried a complete wipe/factory reset, to no avail. The battery stats also seems pretty random, going from ~70% to ~10% after turning off and on again.
I was reading here (http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3152 (I don't own a T-mobile)), and it said this could be caused by a faulty battery. I have taken some photos of the battery here: http://imgur.com/a/FVyK0 ... To me it seems that it could be some visible swelling to the battery, but I don't have anything to compare it with. Any opinions??
And could a "faulty" battery be the cause to these problems (which to me seems to be software related)?
Which kernel are you running?

1. the battery is a little swollen at the middle
2. use a thin a paper to support the battery to ensure proper contact with the gold pins. this might resolve the random shutdown issue
Did you undervolt and/or underclock CPU and/or GPU? If yes, less aggressive values may help.
The crazy battery percentage can be solved by charging your phone to 100%, then clear battery stats and reset your fuel-gauge chip.
Tell me if this helped or not.

I have however experienced these problems on other CM10 builds, but before I started experience them, I was running CM10 without any problems.. I could downgrade to CM9 and check I guess...

I have been checking out calibration, but there seems to be some diverging information. Should I charge it 100% while using it, or while off? Should I first drain the battery? And what do you mean by "reset fuel-gauge chip"?

Wow that's the exact same thing happen to me.
The phone would shuts off by itself at random battery percentage. then I try to turn it back on, sometimes it just shuts right off.
At other time it would continue running with the battery slowly increasing. The graph of battery usage is really similar to yours. It would have those "valley of death" and then comes back alive as a short lived battery.
I am trying the battery reset by draining the battery until the phone really cannot be turned on (even the monitors), take off the battery for 2 minutes, charge it while it's off, unplug as soon as it reaches 100%, charge it till 100% again. I have read other thread saying that the taking out the battery part is at the end of the charging (100%), not at the beginning (0%). So I don't know which one is correct way to reset the battery.
Before update, I did not experience this prob, but only really hot cellphone while charging and fast draining battery even with 2x battery apps. Well, I had like 100+ apps, so it's understandable, but now, I have a very few apps (10+) but it's doing this magic trick to me.
Oh, and I noticed my battery is swollen and bulged at the middle too.
Anyone has an answer if it is a battery problem or just my mind going crazy?
I'm having exactly the same problem while running CM9. However i've noicted that the same thing happens while running stock as well. No overclocking or undervolting here.
My battery is swollen as yours is as well. Could it be a faulty battery?
Looks like it was the battery after all.
The service centre lady told me that my battery was FUBAR. Bought a new one and the problem seems to have disappeared.
She said it happens because of overcharging. Is that true? Thank god the battery was cheap.
It was the battery for sure. Ive been getting amazing battery life ever since I bought the new one. No more unexpected shut downs or any of the problems i was having.

I have a Sprint Galaxy SII (Epic 4G Touch) and have been having the same issues. My battery is also swollen and I have been trying software fixes for a couple of weeks. I ordered a new battery and am glad to find that your very similar problem was solved that way.
Thanks for posting about this!
Hey!
I´m running Omega on my S3 and I love it but since I first installed it I´ve been having problems with the battery, it seem like it is just getting worse and worse.
I think I am getting 1/3 of what I got with the stock ROM.
Any ideas?
Before i have the omega rom and i have the same problem
i have install the Android Evolution HD and it's very better !!
Problem , Android Evolution HD is a simply rom like the original rom, but you have mods ^^
I have exactly samr situation as above poster, Omega and Android Revolution HD.
But I figure, at least to me, it is possible due to 2G/3G network connection
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I've been using Omega for quite some time now and I've tried many settings to maximize battery life like shutting off radio signals, disabling fast dormancy, even using a darker wallpaper to save that extra bit of juice...but i must say this rom just finds a way of sucking all the battery out some way or the other.
I might try Android Revolution now hmm
Thanks guys!
First I thought it was something wrong on the hardware side but now I am sure it´s the ROM.
It´s a shame because I really like some of the features and aside from eating battery fast it also freezes, stops and turns into a brick for a minute or two sometimes. My beloved SGS III is no longer very reliable but I thought those were the consequences of starting to play with the ROM, this is my first time I do something to my Android phone. I´ve been jailbreaking and trying different things on iPhones but never on Android.
Seems like the only solution is to try a different ROM.

Yes, everytime after flashing a new ROM, you got to do this and give it a few days for the newly flashed ROM to settle down to be able to measure battery life better.

If I understand correctly, wipe battery stats only remove battery statistics, it does not improve battery life. See:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
Maybe check the Battery usage in Setting.

Hello! I bought this phone last month. Since I got it, I've never experienced any problem with it. For four days, I noticed that the battery drains very quickly, without any logical explanation for this. The data connection is turned off, Wi-Fi is turned off. Last evening, I charge it to 100%. This morning,I found it turned off, with 0% battery. What solutions do you have to solve this problem? Have you encountered this problem?

Can you please provide some more details on this?
I.E. What is it plugged into to charge? Laptop, Desktop, AC, etc etc.
- I ask this because I had a phone that would actually consume more power than a USB port could put out. when turning off the laptop, it actually allowed a back drain for some reason, and the next morning the device was dead. (Not this phone)
Also, what applications are running? Any?
Finally, you can try to retrain your battery... Wiping stats does not work, ever. So despite what anyone tells you, don't do it. You're just wasting time. SOURCE
So, how do you retrain your battery? Let it die completely. Then plug it in to charge. Don't use it while it's charging if you can help it. DO NOT remove it from the charger until it's at 100%. Once this is done, use it til it dies on it's own. Then yet again, charge it fully and then go back to your normal use.
In some cases, these batteries can go bad, for various reasons. A quick test, but is not always trustworthy is to spin your battery on either side. If it makes more than 2 full rotations, it's swelling and going out. Replace it.
The best alternative is to take it to a battery shop, and let them put it on a Cadex machine. (Pronounced Kay-Dex) ... This machine will charge and discharge the battery several times over a few hours and truly test the current life -vs- the life it should be. Anything rated less than 80% remaining life should be replaced.

I charge it only from power outlet, with stock charger.
Trib wrote 5 paragraphs on info you need to provide and you come back with a small sentence? Pretty much if you use your phone a good amount it will only last you a day per charge. Unless you give us an explanation on how fast it is draining it's impossible to even start helping

6 hours 40 minutes from 100% to 10%, and the phone in stand by! Cell standby - 45%, Phone idle - 48%, Screen - 7%
And all this after a hard reset and retrain battery! The battery is almost new (aprox 1 month)!
I want it to make a screen shot of battery drain, but I have no clue how to do that on LG L9...

I hard reset it once again. Now is on charging. After that, I will provide you a screenshot with battery stats. Thank you for your help! I try to borrow an othe battery from an other LG L9 phone to see if is the battery or the phone! I hope to find someone with that kind of phone.

I attached a screenshot. Yesterday I changed the battery. Same problem! I take it this screenshot this morning, after I fully charged the phone ... Same problem, a new battery.
Can you please tell us what applications you have running in the background?
Also deactivate google now.(or the google services in google maps). download and install GSam Battery Monitor and after a cycle tell us what applications are eating your battery the most. It's clear that you either use yout phone(screen on time) allot or there is/are some applications that prevent your phone from going to sleep.
I use battery widget reborn and it shows me wneh the phone woke up,when the phone had the screen on,wi-fi on,gps on. Try it as well.
I also had battery issues when on JB. I downgraded back to ics. It's much more reliable when it comes to battery life. And the performance is about the same.
I don't have any app installed. After i replace the battery, i made a hard reset and I did not installed any app. I will install cpuspy and betterbatterystats for more results. I will back tomorrow. Until than, maybe you can provide me more advices. It can be from a damage sim card?

I guess your signal quality isn't good enough because cell standby is eating up more than 40% of battery. Cell standby in my phone is only around 5%..

I removed the sim card, but in flight mode is the same problem... The last solution is to change the rom with a custom one. Any recomandation?
It's not that. Not the signal. It's the firmware. JB has these problems. In ICS Display is the major consumer followed by Phone Idle and Cell Standby.
I also had these problems in JB and reverted back to ICS .
I would advise you to install CM 10.1 on the phone. The battery life is better than stock. I get around 12-16 hours normally. The latest RC4 has fixed almost all the bugs present in older CM 10.1 variations. Give it a try.
I will root the phone and I will give a try with CM 10.1 or I revert to 4.0.4. If all this will be for nothing, I will sell the phone!

On ICS you will get great battery life Telling from my experience as i have reverted back to ICS after trying JB and CM 10.1( both have very poor battery life ) . So instead of wasting time just flash ICS and forget about battery issue :good:
Where can I find a tutorial to revert to ICS?
Same question. Can some one please give a step by step guide on how to revert to ics for l9

Use the offline flash..
I also reverted to ICS and the battery drain keeps like a countdown
I have the p769, and I offline flashed up to V20D (and rooted). Removed some tmobile bloat, and I have pretty decent battery life. I guess I'm lucky.
