I have a samsung galaxy s i9000 and my battery is draining really quickly. I fully charge it each night, and the next day it tends to die around 3-4 in the afternoon even if I haven't made any phone calls or really even used the phone.

I've gone to a few different phone places to see if my battery is faulty, but it seems it might be the phone constantly trying to access the internet, as I turned my brightness down and my wallpaper is plain black. BUT - I don't have any applications/widgets running (just autosync to calendar), but for some reason my 3G symbol is constantly flashing green and red arrows. Yesterday I clicked all of my applications off and my 3G symbol actually disappeared and I had 90% battery all day. It only came on if I went onto the internet or used an ap, but it turned itself off when I went out. Today when I turned the phone on, I tapped off all my other applications, but the 3G symbol has stayed on all day again, draining the battery.

Does anyone know how I can have my phone only access the internet when I click into programs? Or what I might need to do to stop running this mystery program? (i tried tapping off the autosync but the 3G symbol still kept flashing).

I was having extreme battery drain issues after upgrading my firmware to 2.2. I was unable to solve the problem of losing 10+% of battery life per hour.

What I do now is de-activate Data Network Mode. When phone display is on, push the power button on the side for a few seconds to open up phone options. Click on Data Network Mode to De-activate or to Re-Activate. I just turn it or WiFi back on if I need access to data. May not be good for everyone, but it works good for me. I only use about 5% battery over night.

It may be because of ads. They use 3G. You can disable ads by downloading adfree from the market, but your phone needs to be rooted. Other than that, they are unavoidable.
