I have flashed my galaxy 3 with XXJPA 2 days back and I am getting very poor battery back up. While using eclair i was getting back up around 1 day to 1.5 days, it significantly dropped to near 12 odd hours after flashing. please guide me. can figure out anyting.. thanx in advance. will look forward to reply..
i m also facing this problem of battery after froyo update solution is here
1. Let your phone drain out whole of battery (try using it till it switch off automatically)
2. Put it on charging for 8-9 hours, be it in OFF mode only. (you can do this in night)
3. Remove the charger after it, and Power it ON...
Let me know your feedbacks...
thanks

Download Advanced Task Manager form the market and after installing its icon will appear in notification bar. Click on it and kill gallery from it. It will improve the battery backup a lot.

My battery on the HTC Pure went from 45% charge to 2% auto-shutoff within a matter of 1.5 hours without any usage on my part. In fact, I had rebooted it and not touched it since.
The thing has been dying a lot faster after I installed some programs from Marketplace. I'm wondering if they are doing background processes that zap its power or what.
Any recommendations on monitoring what's going on in the background???
try to calibrate battery
(thanks helgee):
1. Discharge the device. Absolutely.
2. Take out battery for 60 sec.
3. Put the battery back. Don't switch on the device!
4. Charge the device by normal way (not by usb!) to the full state (green LED).
5. Take out battery again for 60 sec.
6. Put the battery back.
7. Switch on the device.
How can you discharged your battery? I didn't find a option on my Touch Diamond 2.

You don't do this unless you want to damage the battery.

Exactly the same thing here, after installing some apps from Marketplace, the batt started to drain very fast. Don't know why yet. The apps installed are:
Mobeedo
Bing
Pocketnow
The Daily News
I've removed Mobeedo, The Daily News and Pocketnow just to test if they were doing something.

Fast battery discharge
I had this very same problem. I had it with WM 6.1 and the Pure. Both due to the same app. BING is your problem. If you have a memory card in your phone it causes it to be constantly accessed instead of just on demand such as with storing pictures from camera. This is a battery life killer. Ditch BING, remove your storage card, save what you want to a PC and wipe it. After that put your saved files back on the card and put back in phone. This should stop the battery drain issue. Hope this helps.
ALSO: Some people swear by the battery drain and charge thing...others do not. Use it if you like but without getting rid of BING or finding a way to keep it from accessing your memory card the difference you will see will be barely noticeable.

u can change the radio , then u will get better.
my radio is 4.49.25.17
Hello all,
I've had my EVO for about 2 months so far. I've notice just like everybody that the battery life sucks to hades. I've rooted the phone since then.
1st problem) Maybe it's me or it's a problem no one addressed yet, The phone will start getting hot when it is in standby mode. When the back light goes out it gets hot. I've check to see if there were any wild or un-needed services running and there isn't, and its not like McDonald's Coffee hot but very very warm to the touch. And when it does that the battery life starts at 100% and ends at 20% within 40 minutes.
2nd problem) I've installed two programs in which I've deleted since the time it happen. A Super User Permission app, the one that's gray and has the jolly roger look to it. The next one is Juice Defender. I notice the problem after I installed them that the phone will start restarting itself like every 3 or 5 minutes. I'll be in the middle of a phone call and it would go blank and restart. The only time I notice it doesn't do it is when I connect it to the computer while I have debug on and when I do a hard restart in which I pulled the battery out. The battery trick only lasts for about half a day. I installed those apps 4 days ago, both at the same time.
My phone info is:
Software #
1.32.651.1
Firmware version:
2.1-update1
please help!!!! it's driving me up the wall.
I'm no expert but it sounds like a rogue app to me. If my phone were doing that i would wipe it and start from scratch.
Just my thoughts.......

Try updating to one of the rooted 2.2 Froyo ROMs. Be sure to do a full wipe (data, cahe, dalvik-cache) before installing a new ROM, unless otherwise instructed. You're running an old software version of Eclair (current Froyo is 3.26.651.6). I've received considerably better battery life since the update to Froyo, especially with a custom ROM and custom kernel. I personally run both SetCPU and Juice Defender with no problems or any overheating issues.
Mostly it sounds like you have something locking your CPU usage at 100% which would explain the heat and battery drain. I suspect you may be having software conflicts using the old OS version. Do a Nandroid backup before flashing a different ROM so that you can rollback to your exact setup you currently have if you do not like the results of the updated ROMs.
And by all means, DO NOT flash an unrooted stock Froyo ROM (or take any OTA update). There still is no method to root that.
Yeah I have been debating the whole wipe the phone and start with the 2.2 OTA and wait till they root that. This is driving me mad, cause it's seems it knows when I need it the most. When I'm at the house it last and stay up like a champ, when I leave it starts acting up.
Which leaves me with the question how do you save the apps on your phone?

Appbrain is a good way to manage apps. Any paid apps should still show up in your downloads section of the market after a hare reset. I have no battery problems with the ota 2.2 patiently waiting root. Don't know if I'll root when they do figure it out because its pretty stable with decent battery life for me.

So today is Day Two since I changed the ROM. I have notice alot has changed, some things are new, and some things are working that never work before. It's like having a new phone all over again. LOL
I also use the instructions in the thread about battery life
Edit: I can't link it due to new user access. But its in the General fourm.
15 hours and I haven't plugged it up yet to recharge it yet I still have 60% left on the battery. I made 8 phones calls that lasted 2 mins and more, plus ran the music app and more.
I want to thank you guys for your help
Do you getting more then24 hours on a stock battery?
Do you keep 3g on and always connected checked?
You have to be a real light user
No sir.... by no means I'm I a light user. As I stated I use my phone pretty heavy and that was only day two that I done that.
Yes....I now get more then 24 hours out of the stock battery.
At 7am I unplug and jet out to work. I use my phone as a MP3 player for the car. 30 minute drive to and from. When at work I play games and make random phone calls for 9 hours of the day. SN: I'm doing my job also When I leave work I go to my gf's house which has no signal out there. I use to have to put it on Airplane Mode to save the battery. Now I just leave as is without changing it.
Total time using the phone in 24 hours: 14 hours
Times I charged my phone in 24 hours: 0
Battery Percent in 24 hours after 14 hours of use: 45%
Longest hours since unplugged: 2d 2h 4m 10s with a 50% life left.
Yes I keep my 3G on. I turn my GPS off and Background Data, Set the weather app or widget to update every 6 hours (Why would you need to know the weather every hour on the hour, Just press update when you open the weather app) along with other things I don't need running while I'm at work or even not using them.
This is with the OMJ Froyo 2.2 Rom update. The phone is still running smooth and as it should (in my opinion)
One minor but major problem to some I wish they would fix.
Multi-touch though out the whole phone. The Droid X, Incredible, and Nexus 1 has it.
Why can't we have it. I would be so happy if we can get that.
I recently upgraded to HTC OTA froyo update and having few problems after the update:
1. The phone gets hot when we charge it.
2. The battery drain too quickly after the update. The battery life was much better with Eclair. Im not using many third party apps and none of them that I use sync in the background.
Anyone seem to have this problem and any solution?
-GB
My Battery life is similar before and after Froyo update. Also my usage is comparable.
1 The phone should not get "hot" when charged....warm yes...about 35 degrees (or less).....you can check temp. via app like battery status.
2 Do you have battery saver installed? Try juice defender (or any other) and see if some changes in settings can improve you battery life.
Both Apps can be downloaded via android market.
3 Back-up your phone first and do a reset to factory settings. http://www.knowyourmobile.com/smart...12297/how_to_hard_reset_the_htc_wildfire.html
if you have froyo uninstall any app killer you have, not required and clashes

Agree that Froyo is efficient in killing apps/tasks. Still have advanced task killer running to do this manually when I want......no crashes or clashes sofar...
Does a task killer have a (noticable) effect on battery life? See this thread....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898410
HTC wildfire battery life reduced
Dear Friends,
I have the same issue.I was getting two and half days with my use.But after updating to froyo, it reduced to just one day........I have checked all the options like auto synch, location and wifi etc....
I dont any app killer or battery saver.
Arun
hi to everyone!
yup, i got the same problem too.. before the update 2 days with normal use now 22 h max with light use... and i have turned off the gps the 3g, the wifi, the autosync, i don't use any task killer and the only widgets i have are the mail and the clock. i'm kinda pissed off.. but i guess i'll have to wait like everybody else the guys to find a solution for the rooting thing..
cheers
I'm facing same issue here..
Anyone have solution how to get longer battery life?
Ave you tryed to do a factory reset afther you applied the update? It did some wonders for me..
ErwinP
U mean factory reset which will erase all our data will help to pro long the life of battery?
well, i have .. sort of.. sorted it out. actually the thing draining the battery is the data mobile network. first i tried to block all the syncs and all the apps that were trying to connect to the data network, but no luck, the battery was still short, staying alive around 12h. then one day i noticed that with all the syncs off my wildfire was buzzing as hell on the speakers of my pc; a constant rattling like it would if i was making a call. soo, the only thing left to do was keep the power button down and turn the mobile data off. now i'm costantly on wifi but the battery can easily do 48 hours with normal use.
I dont know what they've done with the new radio or froyo itself , but they f***** it up pretty badly.
sorry for my english

Hello everyone,
I rooted my phone in early september and put cyanogen 5 on it. I loved the new features but the speed wasn't very good so I switched to biffmod. That's when the problems started to happen. My battery life significantly decreased, I could barely keep it running for 4 hours. When I would open apps like google maps it would turn off instantly, but the phone and text messages worked flawlessly and I loved the speed so I didn't really mind. In the last few weeks it got worse. After a phone call the phone would turn off. I decided to reflash but it stayed the same. Now the phone lasts about 1 minute after unplugging from 100% charge. Anyone knows what could be causing this? or how to fix it?
EDIT : I'm using Biffmod 2.1 with 245 CPU minumum frequency and 556 maximum and DangerSPL.
is this happening on other roms or just biffmod??
Cyanogen 5 was working fine, only hapenned since I switched to Biffmod. (Which is using cyanogen 6)
do a nandroid (plug the phone in for this so it keeps power). then try another rom i say. we can then narrow down whether it is a rom issue or a battery issue. as far as i know no rom should give your battery a lifespan of 1 minute. make sure you have wiped your battery stats too. not sure if this will change anything but you never know.
Looks like a battery wipe fixed the problem. It got past the 1 minute mark! In fact I didn't even know that RA's recovery had that feature. Thanks!
no problem man. i figured it may have been something like that. if the stats dont match then it thinks the battery is low on power when it isnt.
False alarm, it did get better but it shut down after 30min of idle with wifi on.
ok. try a different rom to see if that helps or try draining the battery completely. keep turning your g1 on until it wont turn on any longer. then try charging it from there.
how long have you had the phone by the way?
I got the phone 1 year ago. I'm trying to drain the battery right now. I'll try switching rom after this. Do you have a recomendation? I'm on ebi1 radio.
not sure myself mate. i went for cyanogen, then went to superE as it suited my needs and aint changed since
Dear android developers
2 days ago i had a problem with a rom, so i had to take out the battery. When i placed the battery back in the problem was solved. Unfortuanetly something happend afterwards and now my battery is really weak its been 8 hours since i last charged the phone now it is %16 Ive tried changing roms. I even downloaded cm7 which was pretty good on battery drain, now its really weak hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance
try draining the battery till the phone shuts down
Turn off the phone, try to fully charge, to green LED lights up, then go to ClockworkMod recovery, advanced, and select wipe battery stats.
Maybe this help u
greets from poland
clean the contacts on the battery, blow out the compartment with canned air. sounds like a bad connection to the battery.
fyi the led turns green at 90% charge.
and i need more data than its weak.
screen shots of usage after 8hrs would rock.
If phone are turned off, orange change to green at 100% of battery.
If android are running, green LED turns on at 95% battery (for me, AndroidRev 2.3.5 sense 3.0)

You might have messed up your battery with the pull somehow, if not just let it charge for a long time and see where you are at from there.
Drain the battery in normal use until it shuts off, then go to bootloader and drain the battery until you can't access the bootloader, then do a full charge of the battery.
