I have noticed my battery sucks lately. I know the battery isn't the greatest but I was able to get easily a day of use out if it. Now I can barely go a day. I purchased beautiful Widgets, battery indicator and xda app all last week And it seems after that is when my battery went to **** .I used launcher pro for a bit too but started having lag problems so I removed that. Today I uninstalled beautiful Widgets. I'm on wifi and in airplane mode. As I'm typing this I've lost %2 already. Wtf is going on? I have GPS Bluetooth and usually wifi off. I have use only 2G networks, sync only gmail and screen manually set and set to low 30sec TO.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like way more than that. I can certainly type a couple paragraphs before my % drops at all. You sure haven't installed something else? If not you could have a defect.? Possibly return it and get a new one?

Quick question, which ROM are you running? Ever since I switched over to leaked JI2, every couple days I notice that after running one of a few apps, the CPU just seems to go into overdrive. The phone gets really warm and the battery drains ridiculously fast. So fast that even plugging into my car charger won't charge the phone, even on idle. If I reboot, the phone cools down and the battery drain goes back to its normal, slow self.
I haven't narrowed it down to any specific app yet, but it seems to be either, Foursquare, Great Land Grab, or Bubble Blast.
Foursquare I have, I don't remember when I installed it. I am actually just running stock TW.

I get 15hrs... I am not ROOTED! I did the drain battery life process twice. This is with moderate usage. I am planning to do the drain battery process once a month cuz I hear it helps with battery life. Possible that u install something that's killing your battery.
Solution do the master reset if that doesn't help then it can be the battery is no good. I know that this is with the stock rom. If u are using another rom that's maybe the problem. U can try switchig roms to see if this is the problem. I hope this information has been helpful.
Does the master reset remove everything ? I have all my pics/videos on my phone meM. I have music and avatar on SD.

I have all of those apps except for battery indicator. I get about just over a full day. I would say turn off Wifi Sleep Policy and see if that helps.

I have the same issue and i run system app n it doesn't show anything abnormal running. Its awfully frustrating i went from being good for 18hours to being in the red after 12 hours. I dropped 2% just writing this. I have only 84% left after 1.5hours this morning...and I have no service during my 1hour commute so I haven't used it. Standby is killing my battery.

It seems as though it drains faster in standby with nothing running. I removed FourSquare last night and have nothing running as far as widgets. I'm going to reboot and see. I've had it unplugged since 7am this morning, after a little over an hour I lost 2%.. not that bad I guess..

I've had this happen a few times. For me, it's usually because my battery status gets thrown off somehow. The phone would read that I have 55% battery life left, but it really only is at 25 or 30% and it always feels like it's draining fast. I usually turn off the phone, pull the battery out for a few seconds and then put it back it. When I turn on the phone the battery percentage is corrected and the phones seems to be back to normal battery use. I don't know why this happens.

This was suddenly happening to me today -- my battery started draining very quickly, mostly on standby (I usually have quite good battery life). No new or unusual apps installed in the past week (I don't use Foursquare).
I gave it a power-down/battery pull; no adjustment in the % as described in the post above, but it seems to be draining more normally now. Weird....

Same thing happens to me every couple days. Rebooting the phone fixes it every single time though, so it's not a big deal if I catch it in time. If I didn't catch it, I'd estimate my phone would be drained (even in standby) within 4 hours or so.

Same here, I rebooted after removing FS and some other apps/touitur and got 1day 13hrs on the next charge with pretty moderate use. So whatever it was, it's gone now. If it was FS hopefully it's fixed soon.
Had a similar experience, with battery % entering freefall every time I turned the phone on. Two things helped:
1. I did the drain cycle. Drain the battery completely till it shuts off and charge it to full while off. This does not 'fromat/form' the battery in any way it just helps the phone to calibrate the meter.
2. I uninstalled few apps that I suspected were draining the battery.
I advise you install JuicePlotter and see the graph of battery drain. You'll be able to tell if the phone is entering standby or not. Thanks to some culprit apps (still figuring out what it was exactly) my phone was not entering standby at all hence the crap battery life.
Ok so I've been searching and searching for something to fix this suck ass battery life. I've removed home from my apps. I've done everything.. I see that idle is at 80%, idk what else to do..

Have you tried fresh install. Sbf back to stock then rooting again. I keep my battery settings on performance, didnt remove much bloat, just the crap games and kindle. Also get poor service which kills battery little but I only have a 20% idle and 5% cell standby. Also I calibrated my battery to help a little with the app and by charging all the way and wiping battery stats in recovery. If none pf that help dont know what else will but someone might.

There's a couple threads on this same forum with the same issue. You might look at some of the suggestions there. When you upgraded, did you use the pre-root, sbf, factory reset, do it at full battery, etc.?

No solution yet. I've found this issue in threads for a lot of other phones that received 2.3.3 update.

battery calibration as well as bloat freezing took my 24 hours or less lasting gingerbread and made it go about 4 days now on a full charge with no worries on moderate use (not playing youtube videos for 3 hours straight)
Is 38% an acceptable percentage for Phone Idle after 18 hours? It's the #1 battery user on the list.
Well I had horrible battery with 2.2.2 so its the same crap for me. I might as well do ANOTHER battery calibration or just keep killing the battery and charging for a bit. I just did that for the first time since getting GB today so lets see how that goes. It doesn't seem to die from standbye that fast like others say but just simple things like texting.
What all did you freeze?

I must have a very good battery. Running OTA GB. I unplug it from the charger at 0600 and don't plug in until 2230 at night. Charge is only down between 60% & 70%. Wi-fi is off most of the time but I do run BT all day. I get 4-7 phone calls that can last up to 10-20 minutes at a time, average number of apps running including the usual bloat.

After I got the phone, I used it stock for a bit. then rooted it with Gingerbreak. Ran Titanium *Root and backed up most of the items on the bloat list posted elsewhere. I uninstalled a couple but then decided I needed to get it back to stock as Gingerbread was rumored to be just around the corner. I SBF'd the phone per instructions in these forums. The SBF restored the APKs I had uninstalled. I took the OTA when it came out and my battery life is good. No scripts, nothing special installed. Two apps I recommend are Advanced Task Killer and Superbox - both from Market. I see roughly 125-140mb free memory with caches emptied.

idle at 80% is a good thing. The idle statistic means your phone is using the least amount of energy possible. 80% idle in the battery manager means 80% of the time your phone is turned on it's using only the minimum amount of power required to stay powered up.
Those percentages don't mean it's using 80%, it's a "time in state" percentage.
If android system or a user app is 80% then you have a problem.
As stated in previous posts, if you truly have battery drain (less than 15 hours on a standard battery) check out the main thread on battery issues in gingerbread.

Hey guys,
I just rooted my GS2 and am loving it, except for one thing that has seemed to change... battery life.
It is really draining badly with very light usage. For example, it went from 100 to 70 in about 7 hours, and I was only actually using it for maybe 45 minutes in total - the rest was in sleep mode.
Should I use the "Battery Calibration" app from the Market? Will it really help?
Also, my battery stats seem to report the phone as "Awake" and "Screen On" a lot of the time, even when I'm not using it...
What should I do?
I'll post a couple pictures of my battery stats tomorrow so you can better understand what I'm talking about...

100-70 in 7 hours I would say its really good battery considering mine
you can try by finding out the services running in the backgound
You can also try using Juice defender (from market). have this for 2-3 days then check

I use battery calibration everytime I flash a new Rom in order to clean battery stats and fake information from the previous Rom...I'm sure it helps...than maybe you can try Betterbatterystat from the market (I think there is also a thread somewhere in xda forum) to se if you have wakelocks that drains your battery even when on sleepmode...

Got the latest OTA update last night and since then my battery is literally gone. Like 100% to dead in about 3 hours. ZERO usage. My phone stays in airplane mode (currently out of teh country) just idling.
Anyone else having these issues? Or know of a fix, it's rather rediculous.
The OTA i'm referring to is the one that added Gtalk Video Chat.
Wow that is pretty bad. I would try factory resetting or recalibrating battery. Im currently at 41% with 10h 38 seconds.

Uninstalling Open Signal seemed to solve the issue for me. Anyone else?
I don't have OpenSignal installed, so not a viable solution for me.
If you are rooted I suggest getting battery calibration from the market and wipe your stats. I've had this update for a while with no problems what so ever. Either you have an app draining your battery or your stats are off.

I'm curious as to what your phone says is draining your battery... I haven't had any problems at all with the new OTA...
Maybe try adding some apps to the auto kill from the task manager? Browsers, and social apps running in the background can destroy battery life...

This hasn't been a problem I've seen reported with the sbf at all.. Flash it and call it a day. If you really don't wanna do that, calibrate he battery and see if that helps. The method of doing so is different depending on who you ask. I do it this way; run your battery down to zero as quick as possible. Charge it to full. Boot into cwm while still plugged into outlet. Let sit for about 15 mins. reset the batt stats. Reboot. Drain your battery as fast as possible again. Charge it to full. Good to go.

Has anyone else ever had their battery improve over time?
My stock battery has overnight gotten amazingly better, and I can't explain it. Its on a stock amaze, everything stock, I was having some battery issues, it would charge and get to 99% then take a good 20-25 mins to get to 100%, so I got a battery calibrator off the market, a non root required one. So I get it charged, and 'calibrate' it, and I didn't think it would do anything. So it stayed at 100% for over an hour with the screen on. At night it was reading 70%, and I left it without charging, and in the morning was dead. Right away I thought the battery calibrator threw it off, so I charged it up agaon to 100%, and this time wanted it to drain to zero, and I thought I'd start over from a drained battery. Same thing happened when I had it at 100%, it would take forever to drain it, I was playing movies on it, sound turned up, screen full brightness, and the thing wouldn't drain. I had a movie looped all night, and for a period of 10 hrs of this, it was still going when I woke up! I find it hard to believe that this is legit, but I've tried it twice now to drain the battery and I'll wake up and it'll be at roughly 15% remaining.
The other odd thing I noticed is on my data tracker, I had about 80MB of data go through the phone that I can't recall doing anything with. It was at a time I was at home and on wifi, so I can't call telus and see what went through the network, but the phone had something big go through it that I didn't do. Maybe telus is secretly fixing the battery issue on these phones? The conspiracy continues…
Just thought I'd share. I attached a pic of the battery status as of today. I haven't charged this thing in over a day other then a little bump. Before, I'd get to 18-20 hrs of regular use and it would need a charge.
I've also got another amaze running energy rom, and faux and its been doing way better then the rooted amaze.

Taking pictures uses a LOT of battery life i have noticed, especially when using flash.
The Screen was barely on and awake time is minimal as well. Everyone just says "Wow" when they see a day, but a day of barely using your phone is not a special thing to accomplish.
Truth when I spend all day at my job I can't use my phone, even with syncing on... I'll still have 70+ % after 14 hours or so...

So is this thread supposed to be based on a purely stock experience? I have yet to get less than 14 hours with the heaviest usage.. but then again I am not stock. But every rom I have used has given me at LEAST a 12 hour battery life, even if I am trying to kill it.
I realize from numerous threads that wiping battery stats doesn't really do anything, but even though my battery goes to 90% super quick(I wish I knew why, it hasn't always) I still usually get 18+ from my phone, with realistic usage.
If this thread IS just for people using stock.. why are you using stock? I am on bulletproof 2.5 with the latest kernel, and I get great battery life, with over 130 apps installed and regular use.
A random thought, on previous devices I disabled automatic time sync and saw a big difference. I did the same for the amaze since day 1.. maybe you should disable it too? After you synced to the server, what point is there to auto-time?
My 2 cents.. don't know what the complaining it about.
On light usage, I EASILY get 2+ days on one charge..
