Guys, I'm getting ridiculous battery drain (100-200 mA, all I do is texting). Can somebody help me finding out what the problem is? I'm running the VillainROM with the OC Kernel.
In the Battery Usage-section it says that 'Display' is taking up 65%. I've already tried to turn off my overclock (1.5GhZ) but that didn't fix it. I've done the FastDormancy trick, and freezed all the bloatware through Titanium Backup.
I'm running the stock launcher, with Beautiful Widgets. After 1 hour and 30 minutes, I'm already on 83%..
Thanks in advance!

I got the same last week, just before I got myself in a boot loop.
The fix for that seems to have gotten things back to reasonable.
Less than 1%/hr now in idle (wifi or 3G on, some syncs).
Procedure right on top in SII Q&A by pulser.
(wish that was there last week )
PS: I am on Lite'ning 1.1 now, but that should not make that big a difference.

I see. I will reflash my entire ROM and start from scratch, and I'll report back. Thanks for the help, mate.
where are you able to see current mA usage? was my understanding this is not available on the SGS2.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. The screen will use that much power. 200ma is very low for the screen. On my old Desire 400ma with screen on was normal.
Also the white color will use more power then other colors.
yeah where can you see the current mA usage?
I also would be very interested in where OP got his battery readings.
Really wanted to test the effect on the battery from different settings, but from a statistical point of view, battery percentage alone is worth nothing. Need these readings.
I've reinstalled my ROM, it's lower now but it's still way too high (70 mA)...
I get the readings from Battery Monitor Widget Pro. After installing, go to settings and put battery capacity on 1650,
Then go to 'history' and you can see mA usage
yes, unfortunately this is only an estimation as Samsungs battery driver does not include mA data.
Thats why CurrentWidget does not work, battery Monitor just gives you an educated guess calculated from percentage and usage i believe.
yes samsung is using the max10742 fuel gauge chip, and the damn thing does not give current readings, only voltage, temperature, etc. many other fuel gauges DO give current readings and it is very helpful. i wish samsung would switch to some other already...
battery monitor widget is estimating...

***NOTICE***
The ROM Manager version of CWM does NOT wipe battery stats properly, as with many other things. What you need is jt1134's version of CWM that is all happy and works and stuff.
You can find his happy CWM here. And here. And also here.
And here.
Big thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the heads up on that.
***END NOTICE***
NOTE: On current DL30 and EB01 ROMs, you will not see battery life like you did on DL09 with undervolted kernels. There are NO undervolted kernels as of yet, everything kernel wise with Froyo ROMs in very much stock. These steps will improve your battery life in comparison to when you flashed Froyo, but you are not going to see spectacular changes in battery life up to what you were getting with undervolted DL09, etc. It's just not possible until we get undervolted kernels and Froyo matures for our device, development wise.
Hi everyone, I've been seeing a lot of threads about bad battery life, whether switching to Kaoscinate, Vanilla, or DL30. Stop it! Just kidding. There is a simple process everyone should follow when switching between different enough ROMs, like AOSP, CM6 and TW Eclair and Froyo. This is how you retrain your battery.
1. Charge your battery to 100% (when it gets there, let it SIT there, your phone is NOT reporting correctly).
2. Reboot to Recovery and Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats.
3. Reboot, and use your phone until it is VERY low (5-10%, you can let it die if you want).
4. Charge your phone back to 100%
5. (Optional) Power down, then power on phone. (Thanks goes to BrwnSuperman for this suggestion, give it a try!)
Your battery issues should be solved. This needs to be done every once in a while, especially when switching between different ROMs and OS versions.
User dalrym05 posted this alternate method for retraining the battery on page 4 as well, so I thought I would share it here in the OP. I'm posting this as a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK method, as I have not tested it, and am not quite sure what the *228 steps for it actually accomplish and have to do with retraining the OS battery reporting, so I'm leaving it quoted to dalrym05 for the time being.
dalrym05 said:
Here were my steps to better battery.
1.*228 option 1
2.*228 option 2
3. Run battery completely dead to 0%
4. Plug in and boot immediately into cwm
5. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache
6. Reboot and let charge fully before unplugging
7. Completely discharge again and fully charge again.
After this you should notice a very nice increase in battery as I did. My battery life is back up to par with eclair.

NOTE: I did edit his post to make it a little more clear. I'm slightly anal retentive that way.
HybridByNature had an excellent suggestion on page 4. If people have good tips and tricks for maintaining good battery life, and they are easily reproducible, then I will gladly add them to the OP here. What works for you?
HybridByNature said:
This might also be a good place to add tips & tricks to extending battery life.
IE
-Close programs that you aren't using.
-Don't leave your camera or navigation running in the background.
-Turn off WiFi & GPS etc when you aren't using them.
-Don't run your screen at full brightness if you can help it.
-Figure out what uses more battery life than other things:
Pandora, internet browsing, downloading, camera/camcorder, Angry Birds etc.
If you are rooted, try and narrow it down to the best kernel/theme for your situation. I've found that I have better battery with a non-voodoo kernel but the performance increase is worth it so that's a trade-off that I make.
Let's hear from our readers: What is working for you?

Would not surprise me if this is all it is. I have turned my phone off at 5% for an hour and turned it back on without charging and then it showed 45%. I know when batteries are low letting them sit a little bit can help, but not that much.
It is just being reported inaccurately by the OS.

Yes, but not as a thread, it gets posted in everyone else's "Why does my battery life suck ass" threads, so I made this so maybe people would see it and try it before posting another useless question thread in Development.
Definitely works though. Did it yesterday. Good post. It has been posted in other threads ... but I think we all know people don't read through everything very often.

I have the battery charger and 3 batteries, I always run my battery low and leave it in the charger for a day.
I did this last night and it didn't work too well for me.
Also, when I go to wipe battery stats in the recovery, it doesn't tell me if it wiped or not, just goes back to the advanced menu.
And also, should I be concerned that when I cold boot into the recovery, it doesn't appear to be CWM? It says Android recovery...I know I have CWM recovery installed.
Samerhing happens to me... and I just took it off the charger and I'm on 96 percent in less than 1 min

Wow same here..I just took mine off the charger bout 10 minutes ago and it's at 95% now. I guess I'm gonna let the battery run completely dead and charge it and see what happens.
I did something similar. I charged to 100% while it was on, removed from charger then powered off. When phone was off I plugged charger back in and waited til it was at 100% then unplugged again and powered on. Waited until phone was completely on then unplugged again and connected to charger. Waited til it was at 100% and while still plugged in at 100% booted into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then rebooted phone into OS and unplugged. I had tried this previously with DL09 and it helped a little. Last night I wanted to see how my battery would drain after doing this. With WiFi on and I got about 10 emails during the night, from 8:30pm to 6:00am I lost only 13%!!! Previously I would have lost from 35 to 40%. ymmv

This is a proven technique, and it takes patience. Seeing the battery drop from 100% down to 95 or 96% after unplugging is normal behavior. I've done this already. Left my phone unplugged overnight and lost 1% battery. If you're too impatient to take the time to do this, that's your loss. You'll see the battery life "improve" over the course of a few days as the reporting gets more and more accurate.
Sent from my Fascinate using the XDA app
I agree with supplysidejesus. This is a standard practice and should be done with each major rom or kernel install. This leak hasn't been put long enough for most of us to know what our expected battery life will be yet. Give it a few days for your phones to adjust.

Hi there,
Just installed MiniCM9-3.0.2 / nAa-ics-03 a few days ago coming from MiniCM7.
I really like the ROM. There's only one thing.. Battery life is 8 hours max.
The phone is setup not to sync any mail/contacts/agenda stuff right now and I've tried Juicedefender to shut down data traffic at night but still the battery is almost empty after about 8 hours. I'm using the suggested SmartAssv2 governor.
Any one else also experiencing this and/or has a suggestion about what might help getting longer battery life ?
Thanks in advance

Some say overclocking can help with saving battery life, as tasks get done quicker and so you don't burn as much energy on displaying the screen. Then again, overclocking caused my phone to become unstable.
Why not flash the nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and see if that helps? Check your Battery stats and see what part is using the most battery.
Place the Energy widget on your homescreen so you can turn off services that you don't need at that time.

Thanks for your reply belgianguy.
In the mean time I had found both nAa-ics-04 and MiniCM 3.0.3 and installed them.
Also I did this procedure a few time : charged the battery full, cleared the battery stats from CWM and discharged the battery.
Altogether a very big difference
Not sure what caused the battery life to last much longer but both things helped I guess.
Even got wifi working now
I'll have a look at the Energy widget next.
ROM: JellyBam 5.0.0
Kernel: Siyah v5 vsync
I have been getting really bad standby times lately (half a day if I don't charge in car/at work). I started looking more closely at battery stats and GSam Battery Monitor is reporting that my screen is using more battery/power when it is OFF (in standby) than when its ON and I'm actually using the phone. If this is correct then it would explain why I'm getting such bad standby times. Screenshots are attached.
Can someone help me confirm if this stat is correct (ie, that GSam's calculation shows low % screen off power usage on a GS2 with good standby)?
If it is correct then does anyone have any idea what might be going on and/or how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

You might wanna wait until a jellybam user drops by. I'm not familiar with that ROM. My suggestion is only based on what makes sense to me, then again, I'm no expert.
Screen off shouldn't be draining your battery at all, it should be OFF. Get cpu spy from the store and check the deep sleep %.
Maybe there's something working and disguises itself as a screen consumption.

reflashed and got 1 great day out of it - really low % screen usage for on and off screen. now its chewing power again, but it seems like its not the screen but instead kernel / android os. think im best doing a complete wipe, reset and reflash over the weekend.
from memory deep sleep % was around 65-70% in cpuspy across a working day of usage, is that acceptable? even though the battery is draining really fast again, deep sleep is staying around this figure today.

Check out the media scanner issue. It's a known bug in JB. Might wanna check the jelly bam thread to see if it's normal.
A full wipe would be wise tho.
I recently charged my phone overnight and suddenly the battery has gotten worse. I thought it was an error with the ROM possibly so I updated it and to no avail. On Ampere the battery health is good but the actual speed of charging fluctuates from 10ma to 1830ma (but it also peaked at 4880 so take that with a grain of salt). The battery has also been lasting a lot less than before. I'm running the default Global ROM. Any help is appreciated as currently I'm charging it fully to try and calibrate it.

seemingly rooting & deleting battery data file is the only solution. I'm hoping to recalubrate it naturally by totally discharging & recharging it to 100 upon normal usage don't know if it'll harm my battery though :/

Does your phone charge quickly again? I'm following a guide I found on Android Pit and I hope it helps.
yeah I've noticed bad battery on last 2 updates, 7.3.6 and 7.3.7 global rom. Looking in installed apps, runing, I can lots of processes stuck on restarting all the time.
My battery was actually charging normally but the max amount of usage was like 4 to 5 hours SOT and in normal use one day and a half... This happened to me after flashing CM13, though i don't charge the developer for this "Problem" as it might not be the dev's fault but mine...

No matter how many forums and threads there is no solution to be found for this massive battery drainage. stock rom vs poison with greenify, underclock, tweaks, lower brightness, other mods, and the battery is exactly THE SAME in both. Draining massivly. I have 60% now, 2 minutes ago when I was browsing in mozzila I had 66%. Also draining when screen off. I kept using the battery with same patterns for a lot of days, adaptive charging doesn't seem to help.. Any solution??
Go back to stock with fastboot and see how it goes.
There's probably a much more convoluted solution out there but it would probably be too much hassle.

Hi guys. Sorry for slow reply. I have tried going back to stock rom and other different roms. No difference. You see the weird part is that the battery lasts the same no matter what you do, stamina mode? same. Nothing running on background ? same. New thing happened: After the poison 7 rom in battery settings ann option "battery care" appeared. I turned it on to see what it does. Only after some weeks it decided to pop up when I plugged my phone to charge. It said something like "Battery Care active. Your phone will be fully charged in 5 p.m Tuesday (example) while it is still Monday 3 p.m. Should I listen to battery care and leave the phone plugged in for 1 day or not? (no matter if it reaches 100%).
This is a bit irrelevant but I am asking just in case: Is your phone too charging very fast ? I have the basic charger (not the fast charge) and I believe my phone is being charged a bit too fast

Battery Care is a nice app if you charge your phone overnight.It limits the duration of your battery charged to 100% by charging rapidly to 90% until a half hour or so before you wake up. To do so it needs to learn your charging habits first. Supposedly this prolongs your battery life. Attached an example. You can see it charges rapidly as well.

I agree it is unrelated. Since your battery problem seems independent on the rom, a few options are left: a rogue app that you always install, something related to your Google account, or a hardware problem.

Is it worth it to try going back to stock again and also unrooting? Or relocking the bootloader? I thought of an app but the only thing that it could really be are the google services , the play store. Messenger doesnt seem to drain much and makes a minimal difference, and with the app we mentioned above I didn't find absolutely anything draining the battery apart from screen and OS (it could also be more than normal)
I did all the trip concept-stock-concept and it seems it is an app right now I'm getting almost the day through and have 20ish of battery, it was easier in my case because I didn't unlocked bootloader or rooted, so might try a full clean reinstall to your phone

I use grenify & fordoze but somehow my phone wont 'doze'/go into deep sleep. I installed better battery stats to check out the problem. On a normal day(one charge) the sumery of better batter stats look like this:
deep sleep 7 hours / awake(screen off) 5.5 hours / screen on 1.5 hours
when i look to kernel wakelocks there is one that is always on top of the list:
bluesleep 5.2 hours 243 wakelocks
Also under alarms there is a suspect:
com.google.android.gms: 864 alarms 1/min
So there are some strange things happening on my phone... really wondering if you got the same wakelocks/alarms as I do
I use greenify and HEBF. Same story here, it seems like nothing changes with battery life. Crazy, only 1,5 hours? My average now is 3. I haven't checked the drainage when screen is off but I did notice similar drains to yours. I think we're in the same boat. I will tell you about the wakelocks, haven't looked into that yet

I've just received my phone for just one day. Backup my TA partition, unlock bootloader and use rootkernel tool to root my devices. I'm using the .331 version stock ROM. Just then I installed the ElementalX app on play store, and surprisingly found that the cpu frequency statistics show that the phone is always on the max freq. So I changed the cpu governor to interactive governor. Haven't test battery time yet. Hope you know this issue, if you have the same problem.

I'm wondering if you've check the cpu freq statistics. See my post above. If that's the common issue, than the stock rom maybe has trouble dealing with the cpu governor problem.

Any news guys? Is your battery better when lowering frequecies ? I have also tried lowering them but no change

Actually I'm not lowering frequencies, I use EX Kernel Manager to tune the interactive governor according to this post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-advanced-interactive-governor-t3269557
After tuning the governor, it's about 4 hours SOT. Still not good compare to my Xperia Z3, but much better than before(about 2hr SOT)

Well it's not perfect yet but switching off scanning for bluetooth and wifi helped me a lot(under location settings) Also L Speed & Greenify are helping.
Still looking for a way to turn off fast dormancy.
