Just a week ago i brought a new Samsung galaxy Ace S5830...this is my first Android mobile..overall Speed,Internet is Awesome.But the problem is with battery..
In a day Max to Max for half hour i use Facebook..and lets say 1 hour for Surfing Net..and in a day 2-3 calls of upto 5 minute Max.But still my battery usage details are below
This are my battery usage detail:
Cell Standby - 49%
Phone Idle - 68%
Display - 36%
With this kind of battery usage even after charging Full battery still it somehow manages to work for only 3 hrs Max!!!
i tried to clear Ram Memory bt still no use after clearing ram the battery usage details reduces my some % but strange thing is even if i dont connect to internet still this value again increases from 30 to 70%..
i had also used "NoBars Battery Saver" app but still no change..
tried to Enter this Code *#*#4636#*#* But after i Enter this Code i choosed to Tun off Radio option..but this Stopped me from making calls and receving..so i had to again Turn on Cell Radio button.
So all i want to know is is there any app or any working code.. to Disable Cell radio and improve my battery life or Shall i go for new battery of Lion 1500 mAh
I think you should use juice defender... Use it in customized mode & disable the schedule part in it... Also keep the brightness to its lowest...
One more thing in location & security settings disable the first 2 options... This should solve your problem to quite an extent.. If not then you have go to samsung service centre...

Hey!
Just ROOT your phone and use BATTERY CALIBRATOR from Market. And how to ROOT, read THIS

Nothing personal man, just ITS MY OPINION. I used it only ONCE and dont like it by my self. SORRY!
I just want keep my phone clean (less apps, doing something, then you get less PROBLEMS) and install ONLY needed apps. You can MOSTLY configure your phone options from PHONE MENU it self. Just look them precisely and you be GOOD(of course not ALL options, but most of them, what you need).
CHEERS!
Juice Defender is of no use didn't stop battery draining just consumes space.
To save ur battery
*Lower ur display brightness (very imp)
*Upgrade to 2.3.3 + Rom
*Turn off wifi and b/t when not in use
* Turn off wifi locator
*Root It
*Stop backgorunds app (kill autoruns)
It will save ur battery as much as it can but sga battery is very poor as its 1350mAH :|

I think the apn widget is the manual version of juice defender.
Juice defender switches off the connectivity automatically when you lock the screen where as you hav to do manually in case of apn widget.

Firstly You don't have to say sorry for expressing your opinion.
I know that I can configure the settings manually instead of using juice defender. But it does it automatically & it takes only few kbs of memory. So I can afford that much of memory & save time.
But thats my opinion!!

Yup... I have the same timing too... But I use my ace for heavy data usage.. Probably around 5 to 6 hours a day... So if you have same usage as mine, then its quite normal.. (as far as my knowledge goes!)

I use mostly my phone even more(sometimes 8-10 hours[listen radio at work or music]) and oftenly(not always)I charge the battery every evening. But if it in standby, then it can take freely 3 days.

I am having huge issues with my battery on my galaxy s2. It drains really fast, 60% over the last 15 hours this night when the phone has been idle. This has been an issue for about a week now; I cannot seem to find a solution? I have tried various roms, wiping and doing a clean install, but the problem continues. Currently using lightening rom 3,2.
Do anyone know what can be causing this battery drain? Is the battery defective??
What apps do you have installed?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
That is quite a drain I can see there. The drain might be caused by having too many widgets or having too many applications open. If you plan to put it on standby, do close those apps that are not important to you.
Have you tried rebooting?
I have a stock lightening rom 3,2. no apps installed, except titanium backup pro and opera mobile. I have frozen all kinds of stuff in titanium to try find the cultprit, but without success. As you see, no apps except andoid OS is running. Same drain on villainrom, lightening. Don't know what can be causing the error. Is there some way to check if the phone or the battery it self is to blame?
Try with screen on - normally I think that should run for 6 hours or so. Using that as a reference, you can check to see if the energy stored in the battery is normal. It doesn't look like your OS is staying overly active to me.
Hi bjorninge,
Every time after you flash a new ROM you should calibrate your battery.
Get the app "battery calibration" from the market and follow instructions and please report back whether you can achieve better performance.

I have a similar issue, as was the same with my captivate. I have stock ROM on my GS2 though, the way I got it out of the box pretty much. Android OS takes up most of the battery usage. I don't know what it is. Widgets updating constantly? The constant syncing from Gmail/push email?
Well that's surprising! Awake and Screen On bar is quite low and totally synchronized, yet 60% drain, now I gotta say it's weird.

Unfortunately, I have the same issue as you've described above. I am running on stock KE2 kernel and the battery drain is quite a lot. The 'Android OS' is always consuming a lot of processor time on standby mode.
This needs to be fixed A.S.A.P.!
Download and install the app BetterBatteryStats from Android section, it is a very useful app which will show what Awaking the device from deep sleep and processes too. For me, it was the damn Latitude stuff going on background and wasn't letting the device to go to deep sleep.

Sent from GT-I9100
Thanks for the tip. I have downloaded the app now. what spesifically should I look for?
You just look under 'Wakelocks' and you will know what apps are causing the Awake, then you could take further steps.
Regards.
Would be great if you could look at the screenshot and tell me if something is wrong. Also, after the battery calibration, I've "only" lost 26% the last 7 hours mostly idling. I don't see anything abnormal in the screenshot I provided :/
Well nothing is wrong imo as everything is very low. You should check those which are using more than 10 mins Wakelock, some seconds doesn't matter actually. And you can post any query further to the original thread of this app, here,

OK, So I'm now back to 12% battery usage (from 100% to 88%) with 17 hours and 30 mins on battery, which IMO is normal.
What did I do? Well, I removed the battery and put the rest of the phone into the stove for an hour on 50-60 degreed celsius. My 98% android OS usage is gone and the battery works as normal .I also had problems with the phone constantly going into "car mode" which is now gone.
I got some tips around the internet that my issues were all related to moisture on the inside of the phone.
Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

but download the app first
Thanks, i tried it todsy but it says root needed.
I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.
Install BetterBatteryStats from the Android Marketplace. Run it and see if there is/are any app(s) gone rogue abusing CPU power other than the display.

Does JuiceDefender Ultimate actually helps to reduce battery? As I'm using Miracle V4 and play games abit and the battery drains
No. Save your money. It messed up my phone and took a lot of energy for itself. Search for battery tutorial instead. There are few apps which help u to analyse which apps consume most batterylife. Or buy new battery for 7 €
Sent with Galaxy ACE
not really. its for lazy people who constantly forgot to turn off bluetooth, wifi etc. all what it does can be done manually.
some say it actually uses more battery as it closes cached (not running) apps which are then forced to reload when called - consuming more CPU - Hence - More battery!

Yep i confirm that. And if not setup properly it causes problems e.g not waking up data connection. After i deinstalled i didnt even get Data connection
Edit: what i found in another thread is that there could be metal swarf the chargejack (sorry asked Google for translation) that cause battery drain. So u could try cleaning with air pressure

According to the app I extended my battery life with x1.3 but I didnt really feel any difference. Removed the app cause of the ram usage primarily.
The app is really good
Customize everything on your own
It would help a lot
And get the ultimate version and use the advance configuration
Everything is explained perfectly
READ!!!
Be Kind everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle
I just use Autostarts so that apps that run on background will just be disabled in the first place.
Better to just configure stuff yourself. Its free and doesnt cause conflicts that could arise from enabling stuff that juice defender disables. I used juice defender free at first when i didnt know anything about battery and it helped a lot. Then I tried it again when i learnt enough about what drains battery and had my phone configured, this time juice defender was worthless and actually increased battery consumption.

believe me if u know that bluetooth , wifi , GPRS/EDGE use battery and is not a lazy asss. u dont need to waste ur precious money on such battery and RAM hogger...
whats the use if automatically switches to airplane mode at night and one day at 3 am there is someone calling u for emergency and alas ur phone is on airplane mode...
it runs in background eats up ur RAM and BATTERY TOO....
if u are on a custom rom.... just push down the notification and use the 14 toggles mod... y waste precious bucks for just 3 click???
IMP: if u constantly use ur [hone .. juice defender cant do a ****.... its only useful if u just switch on ur phone 2 times in 3 hrs...
In my experience it saves me about 3 hours of battery a day. So yeah, I think it is worth it.
I'm using premium instead of ultimate by the way.
Sent from my GT-S5830 using xda premium
Same, Plus user here. When I used the stock ROM, the battery life was impressive with it. But when I switched to a custom one, the difference was little to none. Even when I leave my phone screen switched off when not using, it would last a max of 3-4 days before I've to recharge.
There are definitely some issues with JD ultimate.
Battery drained out completely overnight when I don't have any schedule running, not sure what ate the battery frm 36% to 0. I am regretting that I paid money for this app when it didn't work as advertised.
Hello guys I'm having a battery leak but i dont know which app/s is draining my battery i go to battery status and i only see
Phone idle 55%
Display 20%
Voice calls 11%
call standby 11%
android os 2%
Flipboard 2%
not sure if these stats help!
... but im sure that some background apps draining it , any idea how to discover the leak and deal with it ? i dont use 2g/3g gprs , Bluetooth or anything like that only wifi and not for a long time I'm running 2.3.4 un-rooted atrix4g with go launcher please help and thanks for your time
Have you checked another battery? I think that's an hardware problem dude =/
BTW you can try CPUspy and Battery Monitor Widget
I hope that helps.
Thanks im gonna try Battery Monitor Widget i got problem parsing package with CPU spy anyway how could it be a hardware problem ?
try advanced task killer and kill the unwanted apps . That will save battery . And i dont think that this is hardware problem .

OK. I think the battery life of your phone is shorted or it's broken but you can also try "BateryBetterStats" to see what process are draining more battery on your phone.
Task killers are not recommended on most on cases to use in Android SO.

You surely need to calibrate your battery . There are many third party apps also which help in saving and maintaining battery such as go power manager , battery saver pro , juice defender and more . Try them .
