Hello,
Since a few days or propably even more, i have some problems with battery life. The reason is the facebook for android app. I uave already turned off the automatic sync, so the app shouldnt start itself but here is the partial wakeup spareparts shows me after a day of very light use (i have sometimes closed the facebook process when i saw that my battery made jumps of 10% without touching it for an hour, hoping this would help):
Can somebody confirm this drainage or help me how to get rid of it?
Regards.

Go to settings->application->manage application->all->facebook and tap "force stop".
I uninstalled Facebook for this exact reason.
Installed friendcaster and sync my pix and I get the exact same (if not better) user experience with far less battery wastage. Best thing I did for my handset (except root it ) the only downside is having two apps to replace one. But hell, it works!
I'll try friendcaster and syncmypix now. Hopefully these apps wont drain as much as facebook did
Thank you for your reply

unistall facebook for this reason.You can use friendcast
I am going to try taking Facebook of off my wife's phone and putting Friendcaster on. We have identical phones, roms, and kernels, yet her phone eats up way more battery than mine on standby (10% an hour). I put Watchdog lite on both of our phones and it popped up with a notification on her phone that said Facebook was using quite a bit of CPU. I even force stopped Facebook and it seems her phone is still draining battery.
Thanks for the suggestions in this thread.

What you did ? was less battery drain with friendcaster ?
facebook app on android is evil
old thread but I will contribute and confirm this was the case for me.
I didn't track the stats with any app, however recently the facebook app stopped syncing my contacts. After re-installing it one day, my battery life drained twice as fast even though it was idle for most of the day. I recently got rid of the facebook app completely and my battery life it miles better when idle, it is such a big difference and this facebook app is evil.
I have it periodically check for updates, however I have several other apps that check as well, but facebook itself seemed to be such a battery hog compared to other apps.
sorry to bump an old thread ...but i can confirm this too.
my galaxy S2 is on XWLP3 ..and it's rock solid.
except for the fact last weekend i was on holiday away from my office desk (and it's usb charger cord) and i noticed that my phone was rapidly draining, from 100% at 9am in the morn ..to completely dead by midday :/
thought my s2's battery had started to die ..but then come tuesday, my mate popped over and asked if i had noticed the FB app chewing up ton's of cpu time lately.
and sure enough ... that was it. he too was seeing his s2's drain aay to nothing ..and this is a guy who usually could make his stock s2 run two whole days on a single charge :/
so i think unless you back out of the app ... and stop it. it will kill yr battery in no time flat at all :/

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.

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.
I know battery has been diacussed before but i think this isnt normal. I left the office with almost full charge, listened to music on the.way with bluetoith headset for an hour. Got home and browsed for like half an hour. And here is my battery.
3 hours and the phone is almost dead. I have no apps running. I had 3g on when i left the officw and at home i used wifi.
Is this normal or should i take the.phone back for an exchange?
Regardless, i still love the phone.

btw when u return the phone what do u say exactly
Thats ridiculous man. Maybe you're battery is broken.
That said mine has just drained 35% in 3 hours with almost no usage so maybe it is just the phone.
I think there is 100% guaranteed a software problem and we need samsung to fix it.
It says you've had the display on for quite a long time, music needs the display on? Also that wifi sharing is another culprit.
It drained because you had the screen on nearly the entire time not because anything else
Unless thats a case of the 'phone staying awake' bug. You can freeze wifi sharing with titanium backup to save some juice

I too am facing the same issue battery drain from 100% to 60% in a span of 3 hours.
I am having a mediocre usage of battery with touchdown as my mail client talking to my corporate exchange. Still it doesn't warrant a drain of 40% in 3 hours.
I dont have much apps installed. Even with juice defender I am not getting better results.

You could say it's normal because if you haven't yet rooted and frozen the wifi sharing process this is the exact behavior everybody else is also having. A new phone will behave in exactly the same way if it's using the current firmware.
You can do two things.
1. root and freeze the process with titanium backup or similar.
2. wait for the next official samsung firmware which may include a fix.
The rooting process takes about 15 minutes and is not too difficult. You may or may not get in to warranty trouble in case of repair, but as I and several of my friends saw it, there really is no other way unless you want a phone with 3-4 hours of battery compared to the 19-23 hours we all get now after the freeze.
Another thing, it won't matter if wifi is turned on or off, the bug and wifi sharing process will still be there.
You will probably read around the net that several processes has to be frozen, but it really only is the "wifi sharing" one that needs to be frozen for the battery drain issue to go away.
What is the "wifi-sharing"?
Mine GS2 is a bit different from the OP's. Android OS occupied 45% while Display only 19%. And charging time is unusually long. Very long. I plugged my GS2 into PC at 9am with 30% left, and by the time I left work 6pm it only got up to 75% something. That's half a day charge.

Sorry, whats the freeze. I haven't heard this before ?

I don't really know. But I haven't found a feature not working after the freeze. Even dlna sharing, hotspot etc.. Everything seems to be fine.
You can read more about the issue here:

Regarding the unusual long charge time, I haven't heard about that before. It takes my phone about 3 hours to fully charge.
I can recommend this application for monitoring if the phone really sleeps when left on the table and which processes uses your juice in general. It's history based and you will be able to figure out a lot of useful stuff with it.

I'm also have a similar problem, but mine was after one hour and an half of web surfing using dolphin HD and wifi... it was full, it's now about 25% remaining... Is it normal that the dolphin browser used 39% of the battery ? It's even more than the display... !
Ps: it's actually really hot on the back of the phone, on the top, just under camera... Normal ? ? ?

Well. When you have rooted your phone, you are able to do a lot of usefull stuff:
-Freeze processes
-Disable the camera shutter sound with a simple property/text file
-Make the middle home screen the real home (like htc sense) with a simple property/text file,
-Replace camera.apk and get higher quality sound in video, actually also higher video bitrate if you want that.
-Replace talk.apk and enable the upcoming google talk with video chat
-Install chainfire3d driver to be able to play tegra2 gpu based games
...and probably a lot more, but above is the only things I've done.
Freezing means : that you lock a process you don't want to run ever. You are also able to "un-freeze" if you decide to revert.
So:
1. you root your phone
2. you install titanium backup or other application that has the "freezing" ability.
3. open the freezing app, go to the process list, find "wifi sharing", press freeze, reboot
Problem solved, "wifi-sharing" will never run again.
You want to revert: Launch titanium, go to process list, find wifi sharing, unfreeze, reboot. Everything back to where you were before.

I really don't think anything matters as I can see you have the wifi-sharing bug.
You must understand, that it's everybody with the current firmware that has this bug. You must either wait or root and freeze.
Sucking up your battery in a couple of hours and making the cpu run at full speed which makes the phone get hot is exactly what this wifi-sharing bug does.
There is absolutely no way you can change anything in the settings or say, not run dolphin browser to fix this problem. You simply have to freeze the process or wait for samsung to fix it. As long as the wifi-sharing process enters your battery usage list you have the firmware that has the problem (and it's more than one) and your doomed until you freeze or upgrade to a future firmware where the bug may be officially fixed.
Just another "wifi-sharing" discussion link:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16721
Alright then, it's just that it doesn't seem me to be that much of the battery (~20%...)
I did just freeze that process and will see once my phone is fully charged... Thanks.

oh, was that a constructive comment?
Hey everyone, need help pleeze! Last night, i fully charged my x2.. I have a custom night time saver on that it doesnt really sync at night anything except my work email every hour..
So went to bed was 100%.. Woke up it was 17%.. What the heck is that?!? I looked at running applications found nothing out of the ordinary.. I have seesmic's sync turned totally off..
Im running launcher pro, but i had widgets on the motoblur screen when i installed could they still be running? How can i find truly what is killing my phone? I looked at the battery settings in settings and it shows like phone idle and such but nothing taking up THAT much battery?
I also am using the extended battery.. I have to keep it constantly plugged into the wall charger right now or it will die, it even loses juice on the USB...
I dont think its a defective battery, but just incase i still have the original battery i can try too.
Just an FYI, the only things i have running right now in Task manager:
LauncherPro 0%CPU 21MB
Better Keyboard 8 0% CPU 7MB
Scanner Radio Pro 0% CPU 3MB Ram (its not an open app)
Battery Circle 0%CPU 2MB
Digital Clock Widget 0% 2MB
BluetoothDUN 0% CPU 2MB (Have it on Autoend List)
Now the weather channel and espn scorecenter was running, but i ended them and added them to autoend list.. It definatley feels like something was running and tryingto update or grab net stuff and was not shutting down.. Has to be.
I had a problem with something not allowing the phone to sleep. but the battery would still last 8-10 hours. I ended up using the SBF file and doing a factory restore. Rerooted and supercharged now I can go 36 hours with moderate use. Also using juice defender app has helped a great deal.

I have thought about going the SBF route as well.. if it doesnt improve tommorow or by weeks end, on the weekend ill wipe it and start over..
Right now its fully charged here in the office, i have it on the wall charger.
Try a battery calibration with the extended battery?
Is there a built in callibrate tool? Or do i need a download?
nbm, im downloading the battery calibrator free from the app market.. ill give it a try.. Thx dude
Nothing is working .. I calibrated to no avail.. I was using my phone, was at 47%, it turns off (supposedly to go to sleep), i turn it on 3 mins later, its at 41%. Im gonna restore it to factory with the flash from RSD and start over.. Somethin isnt right.

Use system panel next time it cost money but it will save you headaches in the future when figuring out what apps are chewing your battery
Will do Lance ty.. I will say this, after i SBF'd the phone, did a full system restore, the battery issue has been solved, and my phone is running much better overall then it did before..
I fully charged it last night, then this mornin sent some emails (exchange), and had to take a train to work, so was listening to winamp and setting up some apps that i didnt finish last night, sent a few texts, used the camera once, and i have only lost about 15% battery.
So far so good..
This time i deleted the bloatware (froze) before i did anything, and i think the key is that i did not setup facebook or twitter inside of blur... instead using their own apps (facebook / Seesmic) so i can tell them i want them to sync manually.. Plus i used that SyncmyPix to grab the facebook pics into my contacts, and again manual sync..
So far so good..
WHat i installed on it last night:
AndroIRC
Astro
Battery Circle
Better Keyboard 8 pro
bloat freezer
blogger
busy box
digital clock widget
facebook
fartdroid full (woot!)
gingerbreak
google+
hd wallpapers
big lebowski soundboard
mobile hotspot
scanner radio pro
scoremobile (had ESPN Scorecenter but i think that was one app that was consistantly hitting the net cause the widget would never update right)
sd speed increase
script manager
superuser
syncmypix
spare parts
winamp
I would say that this isn't bad at all. Wifi and GPS are switched on with sync/fb/twitter all day and random txt messages. 1 minute screen timeout is the most of my battery usage. I was trying out my new car mount which caused the battery graph to reset. Running unnamed 1.2 1GHz max 200 min undervolted on conservative

How do u do tht I cnt keep my battery charged I'm running aosp cmod set CPU everything it just takes forever to charge and it drains quick
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
If it takes forever to charge, that means something is constantly using the cpu power and causing it to discharge while you're charging it. I use an extra battery charger and just swap between the two. Please post your wakelocks from betterbatterystats (available somewhere on the forums for free), your battery graph, installed apps, and current widgets you use.
Mine takes around 5 hours to charge, and that's when the phone is completely off. I'll do another test run today with Bluetooth and Kaiten mail turned off. From looking at the wakelocks in Spare Parts (BetterBatteryStats doesn't work for me with MIUI), those looked like the two main offenders.
Here is a graph showing my charging time:
http://www.imgur.com/5fVwe.jpg
Somethings holding a wakelock and causing your phoen to be on all the time.
If Android OS is at 70% or above, you've got something waking up your phone.
If you look around, I've got a thread on known battery drainers here in General. I should ask Jivy26 to add it to the FAQ...
Actually, looking at the graph I think MIUI interpolated between the time my phone died and when I turned it on in the morning, so the 5 hour charging time I mentioned is most likely not correct.
Ok, quick update. I uninstalled some stuff that had a lot of activity in my MIUI battery history. I uninstalled Dolphin Browser HD, Amazon app store, Fancy Widgets, Pulse, Mobile Office, Brilliant Quotes. Also removed the IMDB and Flixster widgets from my home screen.
All of these showed activity in the battery history, but didn't show up as holding wakelocks. I guess whoever the culprit was, it just fell under Android OS.
Anyway, I went to bed with 92% battery and woke up 7 hours later with 91% battery left. This is with Bluetooth and wifi on, running GalnetMIUI 1.11.9 ICS with 200 min/1600 max, ondemand/noop. I guess I can't complain now.
I've also noticed that the ui feels a lot more responsive/less laggy, and the battery drops a lot slower when I'm using the phone.

This is common, if you look at my Known Battery Drainers thread you'll see that there are a lot of usage cases where a rogue app can get its usage blamed on Android OS.
Specifically, any app that drives data to your phone will cause the phone to wake every time it receives data. In some cases, this means 800 milliseconds spent resuming/suspending to process 10 bytes of data (which takes the app itself next to no time.)
It sometimes gets worse on wifi because some apps change data usage patterns when on wifi.
A situation like that usually causes a lot of wlan_wake, wlan_rx, or svnet-dormancy wakelocks in /proc/wakelocks (BBS does not show kernel wakelocks properly yet - chamonix added the feature recently but it's not quite working yet.)
My guess is it was fancy widgets/pulse. I use dolphin browser, amazon app store and they do not effect battery life at all.
That is my suspicion as well, and I will try adding apps back one by one to see which one was the culprit.
Right now RILJ Dialer is waking up my phone constantly with hundreds of wakelocks. Many people seem to have this problem, but I haven't seen a solution.
Well, this is looking very good! I never expected this kind of battery life.
Any thoughts on the wakelocks? Not sure if I should worry about them or not.

Am envious to those who managed to use their phone for more than a day. I bought this phone for about 2 weeks now and have done the normal full charge for 8 hours on the first time. Since then, I have fully charged twice and let the battery gone flat once. I have flashed Neutrino rom and currently Latveyit rom, and the battery last best 12 hours so far.
I charged the phone to 94% at about 7pm and just made two calls and two text messages. I did a navigation on maps for about 15mins max. By about 11pm, battery is at 57%, I play some games for about 10mins and went to bed, in the morning it's about 35%. I realise that the first 50% really goes fast and after that it's pretty decent until less than 20% and it drains fast again. Background application I have are the normal chat programs, whatsapp, viber, kakaotalk, skype and ebuddy. I have waze running in the background although I think it shuts off after 15mins. I have a mix of wifi and 3g usage, usually on wifi though. Is this normal?
edit: I also have Lookout antivirus running
All your chat programs running in the back ground prevent your device to sleep correctly, they wake it up every time they check if there is a new message.
Try to keep only the apps you use and try for each app to increase the check delay or disable it.
The antivirus does help.
2 weeks is a bit early to make a comment about the battery.
Download Battericalibration from the market and use it every shift rom change.
Read about topic on the forum but not become a maniac in "battery life".
If the screen stays lit for 5-7 hours the battery will be empty in like 7-8 hours. If you only speak 1 hour at it the battery will be empty in 3 days.
All depends on how you use it!
Sorry for bad english.

I thought that the chat programs will only cause problems if there are frequent messages since they're base on push?
2 weeks is early? How does that affect the battery's performance? I thought when it's new, it's most optimum and slowly degrades through time? The screen was off most of the time unless I was doing anything I mentioned or just checking the time which is just on, check then off. I don't think I am paranoid over the battery life, just curious how to get it over a day.

In my opinion the battery reaches her max in 3-4 weeks.
Download the app from the market and use it after every rom change.
I didn't called you paranoic, just that you mustn't be so worried.
My recomandation for a longer battery life is CM7.
GOOD DAY!
Read forum for more details.

You might try 1Ghz faux kernels as well. They seemed to have helped my battery life considerably.
Chek out what apps you have running in the background and be sure you set youre network yourself (my phone was always changing from 2g to 3g and after i selected the network myself it gave me a 1day + boost .
And you shoud know that the litium polimer batteryes are affected by cold temperatures.
I wish you luck!
I did use cm7 (neutrino) and got about the same battery life span as the current rom (laytveyit), and am currently on the faux 1ghz kernel. Anyway, I will see how it performance in the weeks to come and hopefully the newer version of the rom will improve it. I thought cold temperature helps preserve the battery's life span?
EDIT: Thanks for all the advice!

Am envious to those who managed to use their phone for more than a day. I bought this phone for about 2 weeks now and have done the normal full charge for 8 hours on the first time. Since then, I have fully charged twice and let the battery gone flat once. I have flashed Neutrino rom and currently Latveyit rom, and the battery last best 12 hours so far.
I charged the phone to 94% at about 7pm and just made two calls and two text messages. I did a navigation on maps for about 15mins max. By about 11pm, battery is at 57%, I play some games for about 10mins and went to bed, in the morning it's about 35%. I realise that the first 50% really goes fast and after that it's pretty decent until less than 20% and it drains fast again. Background application I have are the normal chat programs, whatsapp, viber, kakaotalk, skype and ebuddy. I have waze running in the background although I think it shuts off after 15mins. I have a mix of wifi and 3g usage, usually on wifi though. Is this normal?
edit: I also have Lookout antivirus running

Lol all those chats are you problem imo
The "standard" apps used to figure out what's eating your batteries are:
BetterBatteryStats: for wakelocks
CpuSpy: to tell if you phone is going into deep sleep or not
Built in Battery Usage: to see a pretty graph and tell what's using the most juice
SystemTuner: I just recently started playing with this, lots of information.
Look up BetterBatteryStats here up XDA. There's plenty of threads on how to use it. Look up wakelocks.
