JB battery!

[dea30]

Ok here's a screen shot of my bat stat... my battery on ics would last me 6 am till 10 pm and is have 30 percent left... on jb I'm draining quicker with more settings set to off!
I also cannot get rid of an extra home screen, it crashes! I keep getting squiggly lines threw my Swype keyboard! Any input?!

And I do not have an external sd installed!

So it sounds like at 8 PM you have 34% instead of 10 PM with 30%.... And JB runs more features than ICS..... That sounds like ok battery to me. I have been drinking so I may be wrong but... Don't think so.

Am I correct in seeing that you started the day with 90% battery? Other than that, with a WiFi connection, there isn't a reason for it to drain that fast.. Have you ran through a power cycle since the update to JB?

 

[dea30]

No I started with 100! Or so my led light and battery said 100! I'm thinking is not fully charging to 100 even though it says it is! I'm using less power and options than with ics. I have power saving enabled, complete with limit cpu. I'm not sure what the issue could be.

My screen is unusually high for my settings, screen brightness is awfully low. Maybe 35 percent

That doesn't look all that bad. After about 4 hours post it again. Along with a screenshot of your screen on time.

 

[dea30]

Ok. Will do... I'm already at 89 percent and the phone has been on stand by. Errrr

You need to post your screen on time. Tap on the word screen and take a screen shot.

This kind of sucks. I've barely used my phone

 

[ikeywatson]

yeah i also have been trying to extend my battery life since the update to,i stopped using powersave because it seemed to drain faster,hopefully there will be a battery script soon

You dropped 20 percent in more than nine hours. That equals 47.5 hours of battery life!!! That's AMAZING!

Here's more info on the screen

You got 3 hours of screen time. So you got basically 12 hours out of your phone with almost 4 hours of screen time. I don't see any reason to complain.

You are also getting pretty good battery. I have less than 2 hours screen time and less than 10 hours on my phone and am at 15% remaining.

Hey Skunk, do you have an idea what 'media server' exactly is?? Is it an app(s) searching for data or something like that or something else completely?? My daily routine is, I wake up with 100% battery life, have my 'music player' on the whole way to work and when I get to work, I usually have 98% battery life. Today when I get to work, I notice I have 92%!! I check battery stats and lo and behold, 'media server' is there at 12%. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?!?! I'm starting to think its a rogue app that periodically drains battery life. Some more so than others!

 

[dea30]

Ok I guess I'm being paranoid. Ics battery seemed to last longer with more features turned on... I wonder why the previous day my phone said 100 but was actually below, that. Odd

I can pretty much validate the claim that JB on this phone is bad on the battery. My phone heats up on a normal basis and I don't have a clue why. Im not sure if its JB in itself or just bad coding on Samsung or Sprints part when they receive JB. In pretty much tired of Android at this point though even the Nexus 4 is said to have poor battery life. Can't wait until Sprint gets one of those beautiful Windows phones.
