Hey guys,
I've had the galaxy s2 for about 2 months now and am enjoying it. I recently noticed a bit of a change in the battery life I am getting though, I used to be able to get it to last 2 days quite comfortably and now it seems to be struggling. In terms of recent downloads, I've installed the google+ app most recently, perhaps it's that? I've attached the battery usage screenshot.
I haven't really used the phone for anything so it has been sat idle for about a day and is now on like 64% battery. Just wanted to check this was normal? I swear it used to be better.
Any help would be fantastic.
You needed to post the Graph with the chart. Anyway, download 'Better Battery Stats' and see under Wakelocks what's causing the Awakes while screen is off. It's a fantastic app.
Here,

Regards.
Hey thanks that's great i downloaded the app and this is what i have found after having my phone on for about a day and 4 hours, it's drained to 50%. please find attached the betterbatterystats screenie
looks like its only really facebook causing any wakelock damage?
any advice / tips? and does anyone know of the most battery efficient to run the phone, any specific custom roms or nightlies?
thanks
Yep, that's definitely Facebook. If you have 2 days with it - it's very nice result, take it easy. You're able to improve battery life by closing facebook agent only
which rom version have you installed?Custom Rom?
try this one *#*#4636#*#*, there is counter where you can see how many times apps started.
Set auto sync off, and take look at your email client(push). Also set samsung apps sync to off.
hope it helps you to figure out what the problem is.
My Battery last at least 18 hours...is it ok??
how do you get battery like that??..please advice

As you can see from his first post (the pic with the battery stat), his phone was, most of the time, at deep sleep or using 200/500 mhz, in other words, his display was ONLY 18% of the time on and because of that his android system was the big battery consumption, which doesn't consume as much as the display.
As you know, the thing that drains your battery the most, is the screen.
So if you want to get this kind of results like jakecarberry, don't play with your device too much only open the phone when you really need it: voice calls/sms and some facebook, and you will get same results.
When I act like that with my phone I get same results but when I decide that today is downloading-games-and-apps-day, and installing them, I can get max 10 hours.
btw, does anyone know how to turn off the Maps like jakecarberry has, which took 5%.
I never open maps and still it is working.
Please don't advise to uninstall the app.
Thx

If you have frozen it then it must have stopped. Otherwise, go to, Settings-Applications-Manage Applications- All- Maps- Clear Data. And make sure that you have Signed Out from Latitude, that thing does drain battery badly.

After trying too many fixes from various thread I am really unhappy about the battery drain issue of my SGS2.
Here is a fix which makes me happy at last. You all who facing this problem can try this. This works best when you are with custom roms. But stock also shows improvement.
1st you have to root your SGS2 and just freeze the below process with titanium(paid version) or root uninstaller(free version) apps from the market.
"software update"
Try this if your battery last then usual thank me.
You can also stop the service from application menu but its auto starts so.....try those apps.
Thank you.

Yea...its the only service that always trying to connect to the Samsung server. I tested the whole process and mega battery drain in custom rom happens by this process. and also for stock you will see improvement if you freeze the process.

honestly, if you guys really feel the need for better battery life I would try pulser's VillainRom. I'm getting easily a 1 day 15 hours for normal usage out of my phone.
Is Software Update a Samsung service or Android's own updater? Wouldn't want to block Android's.
I've already frozen Wifi Sharing and most Samsung apps, and already seeing a 12 hour+ improvement of battery life.
Can someone confirm my first question, please? Thanks.

Yes! This is the only solution that works for me!
I've tried everything, and I always spend at least 10mA. Now I spend 1mA-2mA (with data or wifi on). In one day I'll publish the the battery graph.
I'm also using autostarts to prevent some processes run.

Yup, something like that. Before I used to get around 10-12 hours on moderate usage (from 100% to critical <5%), and now I can pretty much go for full 24 hours. This is on stock (rooted) XWKE7 rom with stock launcher, just by freezing all Samsung hubs and WiFi Sharing services. Also remember to be moderate about your widget and Live Wallpaper usage, as well as setting your screen to automatic or low brightness. I have removed most default widgets and have a no-frills LWP.
Samsung apps really eat through your battery.
Anyway, is Software Update Samsung's or Android's updater? Anyone know?

With Battery Monitor Widget Pro (free version). There is a graphic for mA.
I got down to 1mA, but occasionally get back to 20mA of comsumption and I have to kill tasks with task killer pro.

Could you please provide me with list of samsung apps that are taking battery and can be frozen? Thanks mate!
Thanks for the tip.
Did the trick for me. Easily 10-15 extra hours.
With the very same usage and brightness level as the SGS1, would the SGS2 have the same battery life or better?
Since we have Q&A stickies in the Inspire and Captivate forums (as well as a few other fora around here), I thought we need a general CM7 Q&A here for the Atrix.
BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS IN THE FORUMS, ASK YOURSELF:
Has this question probably come up so often that there is an FAQ that includes it?
OFFICIAL CM7 FAQ FROM THE ATRIX-DEV TEAM​
Phalanx7621 said:
I know how much people LOVE to post questions in here as if it's the CM7 ROM and get all pissy about how things dont' work, but keep in mind that if that were true and a bunch of stuff didn't work it would NOT have been made part of the nightly CM7 releases. Also, it wouldn't have been released if that were the case. The devs work very hard to make sure most major problems are taken care of before every release, but if yer flashing A NIGHTLY, keep in mind it comes with NO promises of functionality and it is STATED in the OP that it shouldn't be used as a daily driver. So if you have a stable version, such as the lastest stable version found on the development page OP, then post a question or comment here after searching for the answer with search feature here and google. Otherwise, there's a Nightly post section as well in the Development side if you wanna look there and that's what yer using. Most of the time if there is a major issue and you can't find it on the bug tracker than it's yer phone, or something you have installed that is messing with the functionality of the ROM. Lastly remember folks, it's the developers job to make their product work with the ROM, not the other way around. Have fun, happy flashing!

You know what ? Its a damned good idea. Too many people are cluttering the development thread. Now since no one else has posted a question related to CM7, I have one:
Can someone help me figure out what is eating my battery on standby ?? I don't have that power hungry facebook app and I did some tweaks found ( via SetCPU ) that I found in the development thread, but it made very little difference. The thing is, I just have no idea how to monitor what is using all the power. How did they figure out that facebook was causing a big drain ?
Do you use google latitude?
A very good thing is use BetterBatteryStats to really understand where the CPU is being keept awake. The embed battery stats for example only showed me Android OS as a culprit, but gave me no further details..
my 2 cents
i have heard CPU Spy is great for figuring out whats using up your resources. dont know as i tend to get pretty good battery life (16+ hours with exchange push enabled)
Thanks for the tips. Yes, I do/have used latitude. I'll put an end to that and give those apps a try. Will report back!

When I receive a call, my phone goes to a lock screen, I have to swipe the lock screen to answer. On stock, when I got a call, the screen woke up in the dialer app and all I had to do was press the answer button. For the life of me I can't seem to find a setting to change this, any input appreciated.

Do you by chance have Tango installed? I had it for all of 2 days and noticed my battery died about twice as fast as it normally would. I usually get a good 16+ hours easy with moderate use but was only getting about 9 with the same usage. Did a quick google search and verified tango was the culprit. Uninstalled and back to normal. I don't know if this applies to any other video call apps but might be worth looking into.

You need to go into Setting/CyanogenMod settings/Application, check "Use internal storage" then reboot your phone and it should be back to how it was before.
Betterbatterystats seems to have found some interesting things. Phone on for 1hr and ten minutes.
Under partial wakelocks:
Lightflow: 1hr10m3s
AlarmManager: 58m13s
JuiceDefender:55m44s
There is more ( I can provide screenshot if required ), but those are the top three.
I do find this a little odd. Juice defender was just installed the other day and I can't see how it would cause any problems. Battery was a bit crappy before and didn't get any better/worse. I froze lightflow the other day and battery drain was about the same.
filthyfnj24: Nope no Tango.
I can provide a list of apps if would help as well.
I got watchdog and Im able to detect what cause battery drain while on standby. Its the "suspend" service running on the background with 90% cpu usage ... as soon as I heard the warning from watchdog, I wake my phone and that "suspend" stop immidately. Happen to me since I got this rom cm7. It didn't happen before on alien...

EDIT: upon further investigation I have narrowed down AlarmManager as causing a lot of partial wake locks, but I dont have any alarms set and have not synced my calendar and have the Calendar alerts turned off. However Suspend is showing as a problem as well.
I'm using BetterBatteryStats, SpareParts, and the stock battery manager to try and track this down.
Well, after eliminating Lightflow and turning off Beautiful Widgets small weather, things are improving. Instead of losing 5% per hour on standby, it is now down to about 3%. Juice defender and Alarm manager are still at the top of the list, In 2hrs and 18min I have:
Alarm manager 33m12s
Juice defender 27m56s
So, Juice Defender is next on the list. The funny part is I know that CM7 is causing this. Battery used to last near forever on standby.
Great idea... Stickied. You may also want to check out the atrix-dev-team FAQ and consider suggesting Q/A posts from this thread or links to other posts in other threads, for updates to that FAQ.
Ever since I upgraded from pre-beta 4 to Beta, my phone has had two horizontal deadzone lines on the touchscreen. This persists from ROM to ROM, and is getting to be annoying. I have no warranty, as I bought the phone from a guy who won it in a contest, unlocked it and brought it to another carrier.
Is there any chance that this is a software issue, and can be repaired?
I got it !!!!
Alarm Manager is no longer a problem. Phone now sleeping correctly. I disabled background date, topped off the battery and verified via Betterbatterystats. Now if we could disable background data while it sleeps and re-enable it when you wake it up then we'd be set.
I have been struggling with trying to figure out if the battery life I am seeing is what my Atrix is really capable of. I am occasionally a heavy user, but on weekends I am a very light user. I'll start at 8am with 100% and be almost dead at 6-8pm. I have searched around and seen other Atrix users with 24 hours of battery life and even if I tried my hardest to not use my phone I wouldn't get those kind of numbers. I feel fairly confident in saying i scoured search results and tried everything i could find to extend battery life.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there something I can do to help?
I know it's been asked before, but I am hoping to get some current answers for this question: what kind of battery life numbers are you getting on your Atrix? Which rom are you using?
Atrix 4G running CM7 RC3. If the answer is "keep it charged as often as possible", it is what it is. It would be great to find an answer to why battery life is so much shorter than others though! Many thanks in advance.
Just noticed CM7.2 stable was released, upgrading to that now to see if battery life improves. Might try a full wipe to see if battery life is better without email, syncs, etc. etc. if the upgrade doesn't help.
i would recommend getting cpu spy and also download and install as a zip 'blue sleep fix' (blue sleep zip can be found in the CM7 thread). This has greatly improved my battery life.

You should turn wifi off when not in use, that will save battery life.
Badass battery will let you know how you spend your battery by % and let you know which app takes the most battery. (Lets you get a really readable easily understandable battery read out.)

turning off wifi is not going to help him that much. I leave my wifi on all the time no problems, make 2 days light usage no problem.
More likely he's got some apps running around in the background. I suggest he pick through what he's got installed and start turning off the things that like to sync all the time in the background.
I think step number 1 would be to install a non-stock ROM and startover fresh.
Blur-based ROMs (Nottachtrix was really good) then the faux123 kernel then slowly start installing the apps he likes to use and monitor battery life. It might take a month but he's definitely got an offender here or there causing these problems.
also install Juice Defender. My mom's Galaxy S2 was having tons of problems with battery life even though she wasn't using it at all, 60% battery life at 3pm without using it at all, installed that and immediately helped her a lot, like 80% by 3pm WITH use.
Also, clear your dalvik cache. After installing lots of stuff and not using it, it just fills up with sometimes poorly written code. Clearing it always makes phone faster in my experience.

I think this is what I will do today! I'll do a nandroid backup, and try Nottachtrix with no extra stuff installed or setup. I will report back! I appreciate all the help to get my phone performing where it should be.
Just wanted to report in. I tried a clean ROM as stated in my previous post with no luck. I just couldn't get past the battery life I was getting with cyanogenmod WITH all of the apps and syncs enabled. Should I try another ROM maybe?
Maybe your battery is just a bit old? After ~2 years, you can expect that battery life drops dramatically. if you are a heavy user this might happen earlier. Maybe check with the battery of a friend of yours whether it's a software or a hardware issue
Nvmd
You could be right, the battery might be dying.
I was on vacation the past few days so I got the opportunity to not use my phone most of the day (job requires me to use the phone a lot). The battery lasted about 12 hours and looked like it had about 4 hours left. So maybe I am expecting too much, but I'm not trolling...no.
If you aren't going to be helpful, go somewhere else. You could have said "Your phone screen was on for probably longer periods than the average user and that's why you can't hit longer hours". Based on your previous comments, I shouldn't expect much from you though.
Many thanks to all who are helping me. You're all awesome.

I also have 11-12 hours with 1 charge. And it is not enough for me. I use only Whatsapp ( a lot usage ), a little bit browsing, 20-30 minutes phone calls. These are all. And 11-12 hours is sooo bad for them i guess.
I have an "suspend linux process" drainage issue. Maybe because of it, I'm getting this result.
How can I extend my battery life. PLEASE Help!
I recently upgraded to ICS (LPI Neatrom Lite) and my battery life is underwhelming to say the least. I don't think I can even get a full 24hrs if I left my phone alone the whole time. What's causing this?
You definitely have a wakelock, given your phone is awake 4 and a half hours more than screen is on. All I can see is your exchange account, but its not 4 and a half hours worth. However, it is known that exchange causes huge wakelocks, so try turning the sync off that. I'd also remove your email address from the log next time you post one.
EDIT: In fact, you have many, many things syncing in the background, I'd try turning them all onto manual update. My Facebook and twitter have manual updates on, all I leave to sync in the background is my 2 Google accounts, and I can get 48 hours off one battery if I just leave it idling.

I recently upgraded to ICS (LPI Neatrom Lite) and my battery life is underwhelming to say the least. I don't think I can even get a full 24hrs if I left my phone alone the whole time. What's causing this?

Hello everyone,
My s6 Edge does not go to sleep. It drains huge amount of battery while idle.
I need urgent help. I have disabled all AT&T bloatware. But it still does not work.
I have also tried hard resetting it, it does not work. Battery continues to drain.
Thank You.
Is this something new or has it always been like this? Btw, which version of LP are you on? 5.0.2 or 5.1.1?
Its new, LP v. 5.0.2

5.0.2 seems to be notorious for battery drains...check if your device has the 5.1.1 update which seems to be better in terms of RAM management. Also, are you data or wifi...if on data, then LP is again notorious for a world famous "mobile radio active" bug...it's all over the web...So, the best solution would be to either put the phone in deep freezer until Google fixes the huge bugs in LP or sell your phone...just kidding...
After updating your device (if there's any), do a factory reset...it should solve your problems...hopefully
Does not go to sleep? Check your settings about screen timeout..The battery drain can be fixes through system update..if samsung has any update ready

I hard reseted my phone, disable all bloatwares, haven't installed any apps, haven't signed in to anything (even google, only signed into samsung account). charged to 100%. Left the phone for 4-5 hrs, battery drained to 81%.

I was going to say just make sure you dont have too many apps running and you can also download a battery saving app on the play store for free which can help. It sounds like theres something you have running draining your battery though. Keep in mind however that the galaxy s6 edge when charged to 100 percent can hold a charge for quite awhile, but if your only charging it too around 40 or 50 percent it will die rather quickly.

What does it tell you in the battery stats? That's the first place to look. Is Screen at the top or something else like Google Services or a fitness tracking app? Send a screenshot of that as a starter for 10.

Your best bet is to install TWRP, root, and flash "No deep sleep fix", thats if you dont care about tripping knox of course.
Seems like an aggressive suggestion since we don't know the root cause yet. It might not be a wake lock issue; it could be location tracking or updates getting stuck. I'd rather see the battery stats first.
Screen is not even on the list, i haven't used my device for more than 15-20 mins (used chrome & inbox for 15-20 mins in the morning)

Google Services like I thought. There's a number of things that can cause this as it's quite a fundamental service. The most simple fixes are:
- Make sure there's no pending updates in the Play store. These can work havoc with the battery when waiting for manual approval
- If this doesn't work, remove your google account, reboot and re-add it. For some reason this can fix the sync issues that cause drain
- Still no dice? The next one is to backup, factory format then restore your backup. It's a bit extreme but sometimes when you update your software it causes a glitch that only goes away with a factory format
Each time you try a fix, let the battery fully charge then check the stats a couple of hours later.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will let u know the results soon.

You're welcome. If it's any conciliation I had exactly the same issue and fixed it this morning with those steps.
Google services is one of the biggest battery user but it still doesn't explain his erratic battery loss. I never turn off any features and get decent life.

Tried the third step many times before, didn't work.
So, yesterday I tried the 1st & 2nd step, worked like a charm, I was happy but today, the same results (battery was draning like i was playing games). So I completely removed my google account and left my phone for a few hours. Here is the result (see attached). As you can see no Stupid Google Play Services in the list but what is eating my battery ????

Again, LP has a world famous bug called the "Mobile Radio Active" bug. What this means that if an app uses the data services for some odd reason LP keeps the mobile radio open even if the app does not need it any more...So, for all you know ur issue is Android related and not your device specific. Oh btw, the upcoming M also has this confounded bug...so I believe we will be plagued by this bug for the foreseeable future...And I dumped my iPhone for this buggy Android...Dang!
How is your reception, If most of the time your phone struggle to get reception, it may be part of the problem, just my 2 cents, not an expert, but myself trying to get rid of the google service battery bug...
Better battery stats would give detailed information as to the cause, yet it requires root on all lollipop devices. Helped me find the exact cause of my phone never sleeping
