i've had pretty decent battery life with my thunderbolt. two things have happened recently - i didn't charge overnight and the phone was dead in the morning (was at 75% when i went to bed) and today, battery dropped from full charge to 60% within 2 hours with nothing going on at all. today when i picked up the phone after being idle, it was very warm. after a reboot it cooled down and the battery burn went back to normal.
my only conclusion is that some program or another is chewing up the battery bigtime. the question is what is it?? anyone have any thoughts on how to figure this out? i have most things shut off, have stopped blockbuster, etc.
this is a great phone and we just have to figure out what the misbehaving programs are....

This is what I'm thinking as well. mine died at 4am from being at FC at 12a. It hadn't done this previously. Go to the 4g signal thread and see if anything you have running in the back ground matches up with mine.
You can try a program called spare parts. Look under battery history and check out all the options in there. I had the same problem starting last night and today, but I haven't figured it out yet either.
Have you restarted the phone? I have much less drain since doing so. Don't fast boot it though, it didn't help when I tried to fast boot it first.
System Panel from the Market might reveal issues as well.
Also take a look at the Current Widget and its logging features.
I've had my suspicions as well about something running in the background. Sometimes it seems like the battery just drains endlessly. I made a profile in setcpu to limit the max clock speed to 245 while the screen is off only. Ever since then my battery life has been awesome.
This morning after being off the charger for 24 hours with moderate usage the day before, an hour and a half with screen on and 45 minutes of phone calls. Still sitting at 47% battery left.

System, panel is easily the best tool for this issue. Free version is great, a t the paid version gives you specific app tracking.

I hope this helps, I installed system panel and found PVMtpservicestart was killing my battery. I did some reasearch and found out that it was a blockbuster app updater. I went into the preinstalled blockbuster app updated the app itself, went into menu and turned off all updates, just doing this has made my battery life go from 2 1/2 hours to 10+.

That should tell you what's chewing up your battery turn down the brightness on your display a bit and disable Blockbuster and your battery life will be noticably better.
Did you recently download Speedtest's app? Yesterday my battery was draining unusually fast, and when I pulled up battery stats it said Speedtest was taking up 85% of my battery! I uninstalled it when my battery was around 80% (after an hour of being unplugged) and my battery went back to awesome. Got home last night about 14 hours after leaving with 40% battery left.

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

Is this... Normal, or is this... Accurate? I haven't timed the actual hours, only went on the time given by the battery usage app. I -have- calibrated the battery correctly after flashing to CM7.1 nightly (not after each flash, just the first flash).
My old phone (3GS) had about 6-7 hours less, I'm very impressed.
I'm experiencing similar battery life ever since installing Cognition + Entropy and using battery calibration. The battery died fairly quick when stock though.

I admit my usage is pretty light, but 14h to 60% is poor for my usage patterns.
However there seems to be a lot of awake/screen-on time for you...
As to battery calibration - doesn't do anything on our phones except possibly make the fuel gauge COMPLETELY wack out, triggering the fuel_alert wakelock bug. (next kernel will fix that bug though - not the root cause of the fuel gauge wacking out but at least the perma-wakelock it causes.)
I'm stock and getting 18 hours of battery, 5.5 hours of screen on time. This its with live wallpapers, Facebook widgets, etc.

I'm on CM7.1 nightlies. They're amazing. I have tasker running, turnning off wifi and bluetooth and 3G/HSPA+ when not in use. But seeing that people are getting similar or better battery usage is crazy. I can't believe it to be honest. When my 3GS was brand new it didn't get close to this.
Very impressed overall.

i am getting horrible battery life if the average is 14 hours of moderate use... eitehr that or i am a heavy user and dont realize it
Hi, I'm new to XDA...
I have the i777.
How can so many hours of battery life be achieved? I have stock everything. Does CM7 really make the batter life last much longer?
I was getting terrible battery life using the stock ATT build but since switching to CM7 its been a lot better. Sitting at 13 hrs with 26% left. I am trying to figure out why the Android system for me seems to run really high (70% or more). I have sync turned off, no GPS or BT and only use Wifi when needed. I will say that looking at CPU Spy since moving to CM7 my phone is getting into more Deep Sleep which is good. I notice that Google Maps runs a lot as well as the NFC service. Its confusing because NFC isn't even enabled on the phone? Any ideas to lower Android OS would be appreciated.

Those are the correct stats.
One of the main contributions CM7 has to battery life is plain and simple debloating.
For those that have unexplained drain issues, the following technique is useful:
Install CPUSpy
Get ADB up and running on your PC - for Windows users, Droid Explorer is usually the quickest route
Charge your phone, take it off the charger, reboot (this resets all stats)
Reset CPU timers in CPUSpy (menu->reset timers) - they're often bogus on boot
Let the phone sit for a few hours
Check CPUSpy for deep sleep percentages - when a phone is idle in moderate signal, it should usually be 90-95%. On wifi you can potentially hit 96-97%.
If the deep sleep percentage is very low, collect data using ADB:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/wakelocks > wakelocks.txt
Post wakelocks.txt here for analysis.
I got JuiceDefenderUlt and I actually think it's well worth the $. I used it heavily today during for about 5 hours and it didn't dip below 80%, very suprising when bfore JDU it would be at 50-60%. I think I can probably go 2 days without a charge and it might survive.
Everyone 's definition of "medium" or "high" usage is different. Need to post some display numbers.
I think my best one was 95% battery to below 5%, 4 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time, 16 hours on battery.

4.136V as well
What do I do, shut my phone off for a few mins? How do I prevent this and why does it get so high?
UnNamed ROM
During CPU use and/or charging, heat from the CPU also heats up the battery, however at those temps the battery is still safe to use, its not until 120F+ that I would be worried.
Also...a fully charged 3.7V cell phone batter should read 4.2V, so you are still with in the safe limits for that too.

105.8 is not high at all - not even remotely.
4.136v is not high either. Voltage goes up to 4.2 volts near the end of a charge cycle.
105.8ºF is 41ºC. Lithium batteries become damaged at temperatures in the 70ºC range. 158ºF. As stated, charging heats the battery some, and discharging heats the battery some. Provided the battery voltage is less than 4.2V and greater than about 3.1V, this kind of temperature is not a problem.
I noticed mine doing something similar a couple times over the past few days. I would use it for a few minutes to play a game or watch a video, then close that app. The phone would remain extremely hot to the touch and eat through my battery like crazy. After about 15 minutes of it still hot the first time, I went in and killed the entire process for the app I had been using. Then waited for another 30-45 minutes for it to cool off, but it stayed hot as hell. I had to power off the phone completely and it cooled off very quickly.
The second time it happened, I don't remember doing or playing anything graphic/cpu intensive. Just went and plugged in the phone to charge while I slept. I woke up and it was doing the same thing where it was insanely hot to the touch. I left it unplugged for about 30 minutes and it stayed hot. I went in an powered off again and it was cool in under a minute.
So far this has only happened twice in the entire month I have had/used the phone. I remember someone else reporting similar issues before in a different thread as well, but couldn't find it again. I didn't know I could pull the battery's temp so I don't have that info from when it happened. Where did you find that temp? I'll post it the next time it happens. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this other than charging heating up the battery?
*#0228# in your dialer.
Is your phone stock?
Thanks for the code. I'm running UnNamed 1.2.0 at the moment. I might try upgrading to the latest 1.3.1 of it to see if that helps.
I had 44% left on my battery, ran the battery stats code you provided, hit back button, and now the battery shows 16% left. Not sure how that happened in the 10 seconds it took to read the temp.
I'll post the temp when it starts acting screwy again though.
What is your voltage and can you post a screenshot of your battery stats graph? Also if you use setCPU, what profiles do you use.
Current voltage is 3950mV and temp is 36*C. This is under normal operation while charging. I don't use setCPU or do any OC/UV. I am trying to upload a SS of the graph through the app on my phone, but it just keeps saying "Receiving from server" every time I hit submit and then staying at the reply screen. I'll try again once I get home from work.
SS is below.

Do a full charge, at 4.2v of charge pull the battery and let the phone sit there for a few minutes, then plug the phone back in, use BetterBatteryStats to register partial wakelocks and fix things as necessary.

I just had mine drop from 38% to 16% after this as well. This is really screwy. I don't know what's going on but my battery %'s are all over the place when I reboot.
[EDIT] I forgot to come back and mention that after the battery dropped to 16%, it slowly climbed up to around 22% before coming back down again. No reboots or anything, just after waking it up a few times from sleep.
Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.
On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

As I'm looking at the usage. Maps seems to be the biggest component but I haven't used Maps at all. And location services icon is basically on the whole time. And I tried disabling everything and that icon is still there. I wonder if thats the issue.
I left the phone on my desk (no wifi) at 50% and when I work up, it drained to 4%. That's a big no no.
Wondering if anyone is having the same issue.
Thanks,
Tom
That's very odd. I'm not having that issue at all. Something is truly chewing your battery up.

I also had camera issues where my camera app would open the lens. I had to do a full reset/data on the phone. I'm trying to figure out what's causing my issue. I could of charged it wrong? I don't believe in that myth but right now, i'll believe anything.

try opening maps so it can get a lock on, then exiting. maps might be running in the background.
Maybe play with it for a couple more days, and if you keep having issues just exchange it for a new one.
That kind of battery drain doesn't seem right to me. I I'm a fairly heavy user and I'm able to get almost a whole day out of the battery

I definitely don't have this issue but it sounds very reminiscent of the maps/latitude issue that plagued jellybean roms for a while and prevented deep sleep. I would try to get a maps gps lock and disable location sharing in latitude settings and see. If it persists have it swapped.

Not seeing that here at all. I'm at 12 hrs 48 minutes and have 39% left. Very heavy usage for me. My Rezound would have given it up a couple of hours ago.

Yeah, I had the same problem, go into maps settings and turn off location sharing and background location reporting and see if that works. :good:
I've been having awful battery drain too. I know the phone has pretty solid battery life - it's clear that something is draining my battery.
Here's a screenshot after about 2.5 hours off the charger. I was at around 67% and only had used 30 minutes of screen on time. The screen had used likr 4% battery...and apps were at 81%.

Most definitely a wake-lock issue. Something is staying awake. Go into gsam, and on the launch screen look at the app usage list on the bottom. Something will have a very large % of usage. Then you will have to deal with that app.
I assume your post was in reference to the OP - however, looking at the app usage list doesn't always tell what app is causing problems.
Look at the screen shot I posted right above your post. The top 3 %'s aren't apps, and it really gives no reference as to what could be causing my kernel to be so high ont he list.

If you choose app usage, then press the little arrow at the top right of the screen, it will list options. Choose the one that says "view time held awake". This should show you the offending app.

Oh, true. Thanks for that! I've never known about that feature. I'll have to check it tomorrow during the day and see what it says. I have a feeling it's just going to say "Android System" or "System *wakelock*" though.
Dude restrict the background data this problem will surely stop...but when using play store remove the restriction.as it won't work without background data. ..

Non of you are truly "heavy" users if a 2,000 mAh battery running a quad core processor, and a 5" screen last you 12 hours with 40% left. You're an extremely light user. Heavy.... lmfao
I could drain that battery in 6-8 hour period, and that's not even streaming videos, etc
