[Q] Android System Draining Battery? *Pics Inside* - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Ive had my sgs2 for about a week or so now and have been trying diff. custom roms almost every other day. Last night, after flashing the new villainrom 2.3 and its recommended modem, i think ive been getting the best battery life ive had so far....
HOWEVER, i find that my battery is draining for no reason still. I'm a long time android user, but also have an iphone 4. I dont expect my battery to be as great as the iphone 4's, but unnecessary drain is a little annoying. When I check my battery usage, this is what shows (look below), is this normal?
ive only used the display for about 2.5 hrs in 12 hrs, and thats the drain im getting.
Oh, and juice defender was JUST installed like 5 mins ago, so disregard that.

Why dont you try installing 2.3.4 KG1? I have it on and it seemed to have increased the battery life. Did you check any processes that are not shutting down?

Vr2.3 is based on kg3.
That looks ok, use titanium backup to freeze anything you don't use.
The most useful part of the battery info is the zoomed in graph with awake time etc.

Villainrom still has all the samsung bloatware in it. I have cognition and man my battery lasts long. No weird apps running in the background. Just JD Ultimate taking care of even more powersaving.
With regular texting and app usage (of course differs to any type of person) I get 32-36 hours of usage.

I'm currently using Darkside 3.2.0, faux latest kernel...
10% over 7 hours, ~1.5% per hour, looks like good battery life to me?

Don't be concerned about wake locks if you get awesome battery life

First of all thanks for the replies.
I know its not the worse possible battery drain, however data was off last night as I wanted to c if my phone actually goes to sleep.
my other android phone drained maybe 2% overnight with data off, so 10% seems a lot to me...
I have an international ATRIX and m using the latest radio (100.00 something like this) and no matter which rom I flash (aura cm7, and now darkside) the phone just stays awake.
With light use it lasts a day, but ideally 2 days is what im looking for!
Thanks for reading guys

[Q] Is it a heavy battery drain?

Guys,
since i am not sure what does good battery backup means for our LG Optimus One, i have decided to ask you instead.
The flat line in picture is when the mobile was in standby mode almost 7 hours. Mobile was at 90% when i woke up mobile from standby mode. I have no problem for battery drain in that period.
My proble starts when i started using data on my mobile. I used data for almost 3.30 hrs and mobile reached at 5% battery level.

I wanted to ask you is that is it considered as bad battery backup? For me i sould have used the data 2-3 hours more. For my normal use also i cant get past 15 hrs in a day.
And why does Cell Standby and Phone Idle consume so much battery. I checked in Application/Running services "Settings, Juice defender, DSPManager, Google services and Android Keyboard" were running.
My battery health is Good.
I am on new bb. and on latest Nightly. With all other ROM even Oxygen gives me the same backup.
Help me to get better battery guys. How much battery backup you guys get.
Regards,
No that is completely normal....with data of course battery life goes down the drain. I get about 3-4 hours too so it's normal. Even on a Galaxy nexus it is the same thing.

Not too long. I use it regularly texting mainly but maybe some music streaming but not gaming it video streaming

i mean, press the "screen" on that screenshot you have given us and tell me the screen-on time...
my guess is something isn't being reported on there...
I have been experiencing the same problem with this phone since I got it, no matter what rom I'm on. While its off, it is fine. It will last for several days with the screen turned off. Once the screen is on it eats up 2-3% per minute. With an extended battery it will show the screen as taking up 99% of the battery and screen on time will be around a half hour.
i dont know what you guys are doing. im running 3.14.605.5 and clean rom 1.4 dev edition and im getting 24 hours on battery life and 4-5hours screen on time. how long have you been running it, it seems to take about 3 days for me for the kernel to settle and the battery stats to compile.

[Q] Bad battery life

Hello, 3 days ago I've installed CM10.1 nightly build from 2013-07-25 on my friend's Galaxy S III (international), now his battery life is really bad and he's complaining on me, any way I can improve the battery life?
Here goes a screenshot (as you can see, he wasn't even using the phone when the battery just dropped 50%):

Cyanogen mod roms are known to drain battery much faster than touchwiz.so you cant really expect the battery life to be the same as on stock or stock based roms. you may improve the battery life by using an app called Greenify. it hibernates apps so that they will not run in the backround. this can help considerably. also make sure to turn off gps , bluetooth, wifi. and mobile data when not in use.
well first tell your "friend" that thats how things are in AOSPs. Secondly use differrent kernels and proper setting to get max battery (tutorials are available) plus greenify apps you do not use. And the usual killers as GPS/WiFi/NFC/3G use only when needed or turn them off..
Something is extremely wrong there. Get a normal usage BBS dump and post it here. Also take screenshots of the BBS pages.
Also post a screenshot of your battery stats page (one that shows which apps drain battery).

Battery Drain since 4.2.2 Update

Is anyone else having battery draining issues with the new update ?
I have the 16gb WiFi only version. My battery is draining at ~1% a minute while browsing the web. My battery usage looks like a series of cliffs. For the chart here, 62% of my usage is screen usage. I've been keeping the screen on low brightness or on auto and I see no difference. I know the battery on this tablet was never the greatest, but during usage I don't think it died this fast prior to the update.

i think you should perform clean firmware install or find out what app drains juice from battery.
I actually did a factory restore yesterday and a full charge overnight. I'm going to spend some time observing the battery life today.
I never had many apps to begin with, but since the restore the only thing syncing regularly is GMAIL.

HI,
Were you able to find out what was causing this? I just purchased this tablet and the battery drain is terrible.
thanks,
dave
Root, deodex and remove bloatware is the answer to solve this!
