hi iguys,
i have some questions about the sgs 2
i got it since a few weeks and everything was fine,great battery life up to 17 hours zith light/ normal use.
i tried to flash cwm isecure kernel to flash roms, all went fine
then i found out rom manager is not yet fully compatible with sgs2
so i flashed back to stock firmware,now my battery life really sucks
with little use i can hardly get 6 or 7 hours out of it
and most of the time its just standby
i have everything off bluetooth,gps,wifi, display set to 10 percent, background sync
the only thing i have on is 3g connection..
i have better battery stats installed
and i see these 2 things always 100 percent full.
suspend/events
no matter what, theres no app draining because when i wipe everything to factory settings or through recovery, the drain remains, even with 3g off
also when i check my normal battery history,
i see 2 times android system in the stats, doesnt one need to say android os ? instead of two times system?
sorry if this is a double post, but i searched and couldnt find something similar then this.
hope you can help

You have BBS installed, good. Don't see under Processes but see under Partial Wakelocks, check which apps and processes are taking the max time. Something on background is definitely going on.

thanks for the reply, i checked and only facebookservice,rilj,mailserver,activitymanager have a smal redd line
and all are under 2/3 percent
the rest dont even have a red line going, today i swapped my battery at the store, but i dont see any difference, yet, just draining
Nobody else here to help me ?
better battery stats shows me nothing like an app or process
thats really going crazy..
i really have no clue what i did wrong to get this terrible battery life
hmm i really don't get why though, coz I have an awesome battery life with my S2, i got at least 2 days, with alot of calls n txts in between. I use it for my music player in the car as well, n i travel quite alot.
tried recalibrating the batter?

yes i tried, i also tried to wipe battery bin file through cwm, also with no succes,
my phone is charging now, so i am going to check how the battery life is with CM7 or another rom.
do you have 3g on all the time ?
i also have a question about the connections options, do you have an option to only use 2g ? in stock rom, i dont, i remember having it on my galaxy mini
Update, the new battery i got yesterday seem to have no change in my dramatic battery life,
i flashed CM7 build 38 last night,
and still the same, it drains like hell!

Hi!, Yesterday i installed the last version of CyanogenMod 6.5.4, and i have 2
mayor problems with this rom but i don'y know if am doing something wrong.
This are the steps i followed:
Root: Gingerbreak
Recovery ClockworkMod 3.1.0.0 installed with Rom Manager
Then manually Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache & Battery
Flashed Cyanogen Mod without formatting mem card... just plain
Rebooted
Installed some Google Apps
Everything fine at this point.
Next the problems:
1.- After 2 hour of standby the battery drops 20% and i don't have
3rd party apps running. All data is turned off, only 2G enabled.
2.- Bluetooth don't work, i can't send o receive any file, my computer can't see my phone.
Previusly i made a backup of some apps and configurations with Titanium Backup and i restored apps and a config of bluetooth but the restore freezes
and i use to force close the app. This could be the config that mess up the
bluetooh?
Any idea how to resolve this problems, i love this rom but i can't live with
this huge preblems. I am new, and any help would be great.
Btw: Actually i'm using a new kernel (franco's v17 BFS version) hopping this can fix the battery life problem.
Thanks in advance !!!
Hei mate, read this see if it applies to you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14950218&postcount=3205
Thanks for your time & help. I readed that post and by default since i installed
the rom i disabled all kind of sync, so maybe it's another thing, but thanks anyway!!!
if the rom has a battery graph included in Settings > Applications > Battery use then check it out and see if the "Awake" matches the "Screen on".
Those 2 have to be identical, if not, then something is keeping your phone awake even when the screen is off. All you have to do is uninstall/disable one thing after another until you see they start being identical.

Wow! too fast response, thanks
Yeah! you right those 2 are identical, none is bigger than the other, btw after flashed
the new kernel, it apperars to be stable it drains 2 and a half % after 2-3 hours. You think this number are good for this standby period?
Charge till 100% again wipe battery again.. see any difference , it take 24 or 48 to have a nice battery after a wipe batt stat.
It's say thats the superior limit on which you can go. Some say 1% battery drain / hour is totally normal but nothing above.
I tend to disagree and I'm not satisfied if its more than 0.6% / hour. However, 1% should be good for normal usage (meaning you have access to the charger everyday).
I only rarely have access to the charger, spend a lot of time hiking and need it to be really really low.
I've spent so much time identifying battery drains that I think just buying a solar charger would have been more productive for me.

Just one more thing... Any idea about my bluetooth problem?... it's a Rom problem
or my mistake?
Mine drains 1% per 2 hours on idle. Dunno if it's good or not
So i have been searching for about an hour or so now and can't find a definitive solution to the phone idle problem.
Some people are saying to flash this new .30 radio for gingerbread, which i also searched for and can't seem to find unless im typing in the search wrong.
Some people say to use juggernauts battery fix...but he himself has said all it does is fix the 1% battery mod and does not affect battery life for good or bad.
Has anyone any clue how the hell to fix the phone idle battery drain issue????

Battery fix: flash it, you need correct readings of your battery. After all that, wipe the battery stats through CWM (under advanced) and use the Battery Calibration app.
Idle battery drain: Not necessarily an issue, we're not sure yet.

Is flashing an ATT radio safe? Over the past month i've been reading not to flash ATT radio's???
yeh it's safe...in fact I flashed mine yesterday....but didn't notice any different...I guess I have to get Setcpu...and make some profiles on there....
Whenever you flash a new rom it seems the battery drains fast. I noticed the first day I bought the phone and thought that the battery was worse than my iPhone 4. After a few days, I guess the phone calibrated the battery stats and it got better. The phone idle % will be high if your phone sits on the table more than when you're using it. When I'm using my phone, usually my display it really high and idle isn't even on the list.

I totally agree, but the problem is that the "idle phone" problem hurts my battery so i don't have enough through out the day.
I go to sleep with it fully charged...wake up and its at 70%!!! it should not be like that...especially since i used to be able to go to sleep with it at 100 and then wake up to it at 99 or 98...then get about 30 solid hours out of it with heavy to moderate use...games, email, text, phone calls and internet...
There has got to be something else to it

I had the same problem I tried 3 GB roms all produced same results so..just flashed 1.2.6 via RSD and flashed radio .30 via RSD...now I am getting more then 40+ hours of battery life with moderate and light use...but in idle mode it may drain max. about 1% per hour..btw i don't have setcpu installed..

I know this question has been asked really lots of times, but I didn't seem to find cases similar to mine.
there doesn't seem to be any wakelock (except 2 which is incredibly short) and it was in deep sleep mode all the time. but yet, it drains almost 5% per hour which i find is really too much...
I've tried lots of firmware (litening, wamanlite, turkbey, stock, ICS) and removed all the unnecessary bloatware to reduce wakelocks to a state as shown in attachment. but still, they do not have any results, still get less than 1 day life without any usage at all...
Could this be hardware problem? I find it gets hot really fast even when i'm just facebooking.
Or is there anything else can i try to do? this device really started to disappoint me ever since the battery life looks like this.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

maybe try out BetterBatteryStats, duuno but maybe this could help?!

Try Hydrogen-ICS latest version, it seems to be "the rom" today
Battery life is very good and its overall a stable system.
Make sure to "Fix Permission" after first start, reboot recovery and do it.
Also sometimes "to much junk" in your SD card can cause battery drain, copy your files and format the SD card, you might see some diffrence. (i did)

you got 20Hrs out of your phone? grats! as of lately i've been trying alot of different roms and different customization settings from kernel tweeks to CPU tweeks (undervolting/underclocking) and im even turning off every extra setting that consumes battery power apart from wifi
on best with a 2000Mah battery i get 13 hrs on standby and 4 hrs if im playing a game - these days my phone doesnt charge anymore - it discharges even when plugged in
I recommend downloading HydrogenICS, it's good! Download Battery drain, so you can see how fast your battery is being drained.. Also, let your battery go down to 5% then charge your phone
Something is seriously wrong - you've hardly used it, looking at those graphs.
I'd try a stock anything, and if you get similar drainage send it in for repair/buy a new battery.
this is'nt normal , in sleep mode i can get 20 hours and only lose 9%
use hydrogen and neak , and try , if you get the same result so it will be hardware fault
the 3g data it kills the batt very fast,i don think u got a hardware prblm,cause 20hrs an still to go is good ive seen ppl reporting worse...dude instal better batt stat,3g watch dog but remember batt saver apps too run in bckgrnd so i suggest u stay on a stable rom wiv a custum kernel like siyah or neak an watch the batt in better batt stat.....wen i need more juice i switch to airplane mode in nite then rebot in the morning....i don hav any tweaks or uv,oc but ive seen the batt is very good wen i don use the data or wifi or download or update,pm me if any doubt......cheeeerz
You flashed different ROMs the last days? First thing is you should only flash with full battery and after flashing it needs some time (three full battery cycles e.g.) untill the battery works fine for the ROM.
And you may recallibrate your battery. Turn the mobile off and load the battery to full. Then go to CWM and reset your batterystats. Now unload till the mobile goes of and reload to full with mobile off. If you doe this for e.g. 3 times the battery should be recalibrated.
I must say Omegas ICS + Speedmod or Siyahs Kernel. Best ever. Or checkout Paradoxxxs rom very stable but for me not so good xD

bro, 20 hours is with 99% deep sleep is seriously wrong. better battery stats cant tell me nothing, since i have no wakelocks or whatever, and all those battery savers apps, they spent more battery than they can save. when those screenshot is taken, i can tell you for sure, bluetooth, gps, 3g, wifi, auto sync etc everything was turned off. even brightness is 10% (which is even lower than auto brightness settings). anyway thanks for the reply

nope, i always try at least 5-6 battery cycles after flashing to see the real graph. and i've read in this forum somewhere, calibrating battery by deleting batterystats is useless for this phone.

speedmod is a kernel like siyah rite? i've use siyah before, but it doesn't seem like much help. nonetheless, will try them ^^
thanks for all the replies and recommendation, will try different rom & update again (probably in 4-5 days for trying 2 roms
I have exactly same problem. On GB over night(7 hours), battery consumption was around 9%. On ICS more than 20%, but nobody touch phone. I try few roms: wanamlite, omega, bezke, pure. Now i have hydrogen. Better battery stats shows nothing special. Only thing what i can think is wi-fi. if i turn off seams to be better, not that dramatic, but anyway not that good like on GB.
strange...
let me ask this... what does the yellow color in the phone signal mean? anybody got any clue?
shouldn't it be green/gray ?
in my phone whenever i have green/gray in the battery view the bar hardly goes down on idle but i see a big drain compared to green/gray when it becomes yellow even in idle
let me post a pic to clarify...
i was complaining about sudden batt drop on cm9 ics, i know its 2 diff roms but still the yellow bar got my attention in both pics...
just searched google and came up with red= no signal, yellow=very bad signal to no signal, green = good signal/full
bad signal makes the phone look for the signal in a bad way using a lot of the battery...
guess i found out why my batt suddenly dropped so bad compared to the rest of the bar...
id suggest flashing a couple of modems and testing how good of a signal u get with each and sticking with the one that works for u, if its a weak signal from the provider then find a better provider that covers ur place with better reception...
start from there and then if batt life is still bad search search and search... best of luck with ur phone...
@mazroui
in those 7 hours your phone should lost 9 - 10% of battery, but not more than 20 unused, what is process causing that usage?
for me: i charged phone before sleep, when wake up after 7h i had 20% left.
Android OS - 92% , rest for cell standby, phone idle and screen. Wi-fi was setup to sleep when screen is off. Better batery stats show that wi-fi was on for almost whole time
Cell Standby and Phone Idle using that much of your power means that the signal in your area is horrible and the phone is struggling to maintain a decent connection with the towers, this can drain a tremendous amount of battery depending on how bad the signal really is, the yellow bar means it's not optimal but there is a large degree of variation between the top end and bottom end of the yellow bar spectrum. Try a different modem or move your phone to an area with better reception and see if you still get this sort of drain.
Android OS is misreported by practically every Kernel because for some reason Samsung accidentally made Screen On add to the Android OS bar, so your Android OS usage is actually AOS + Screen On, for the most part high AOS usage can be ignored as a source of drain using the phone info battery screen, I would look elsewhere for the problem. Sometimes rogue apps hide their wake locks in another wake lock, for instance if you have facebook or many of the IM programs on your system, they poll their servers a lot causing a kernel wake lock called 'svnet dormancy' (in gb) or 'multipdp' (in ics) this causes a lock of 5s to ensure proper packet transfer, if your app is requesting packets every 4 seconds, then its essentially a permanent wake lock but may not be reported as the app being the source.

There is a defect with Android where good signal strength is mis-reported on this screen as yellow, even if you have 100% signal.
Until you go to About Phone > Status, just once. Then when you go back to this screen, it will start reporting as green if you have good signal.
I've tested this out on my phone, and confirmed it... try it out yourself.
I stopped caring about it, so I just ignore it unless it gets reported as red.

If you look at the graph in the right pic you can see that the curve is less severe when WiFi is active, while this doesn't prove my point that its a network issue it does increase my suspicion that the issue is mobile data related.

Something is horribly wrong with that. Do a full wipe. If it still does that, reflash your firmware. If it STILL does that, maybe flash to a newer stock ICS firmware? Then as a last resort, you may want to go back to GB.

This guy may be onto something, actually. First thing you should try is flashing a different modem. THEN do all the stuff I said above.
EDIT: just noticed you're in Oz. Try flashing a T modem. Most Australian users report much better results with both battery and signal after doing this.

I have that same issue too. Lol maybe the recovery can't read the battery correctly. It'll show up higher in recovery and then when I reboot, it will read the same way like in recovery. Tried numerous batteries with the same result. Although I havnt tried battery calibrating. Ill give that a shot.
Is there any solution ??
Try klect's solution and go into recovery, wipe battery stats. Then let your battery drain and die. Then charge your battery back to 100% with no interuptions like pulling your phone off the charger too soon. When you wipe your batt stats you are getting ready to recaliberate your battery. After you let it charge to 100 percent. Let it drain to 0 a couple times to recondition your battery.
You do know that the evo 3D gives around 3 hrs of screen time dont you? even on stock rom on normal usage. If you have the wifi on all the times you'll get around 2:30 maybe 3 on a full charge.
Your battery certainly is draining faster than usual but have you tried keeping it idle and seeing what kind of drain you get? From that screenshot in the other thread it seems like your phone is getting some heavy wifi browsing or something (and do check if facebook or email apps are the culprit. Having push email on drains a lot)
And the recovery/rom reading wrong stats happens all the time. just recalibrate your battery like these good folks here have already suggested
Yes i keep wifi on all the time...
But once i kept my locked for abot 3 hours after full charge...when i unlocked it showed 99%...i was happy and i didn't do anything just surfing my screens it dropped very very fast to some 70 % !!!!
Also please hit our thank you buttons please. Even if you didn't get the exact answers you wanted. It's appreciated for helping one another.
you really should check your apps battery usage using one of the apps ramjet73 told you about

There are a bunch of tips here.
Usually that kind of drain is caused by an app. Try running a stock ROM for a day or two and see if the issues go away. Or use one of the battery monitoring apps (BetterBatteryStats, SystemPanel Standard, Battery Monitor Widget) to determine which app is causing your drain.
It may take some work on your part to isolate the problem since there is no global solution to battery problems.

top culprits are mostly facebook,email exchange,google maps and pretty much anything that syncs alot
Also try using you phone on min brightness auto brightness is also a battery killer
I cant beleive no one asked you this but which kernel are you using? And is it overclocked?
I am on mwakious 13.1 default...no changes to it

hy , yeah i use phone very much in last few days.... i dont have GPS on, till now i had all accounts and everything synchronized but now i only left google chrome synchronized....
Have you tried turning 'Restrict background data' on and 'autosync' off (settings->data usage) or even using apps like Juice Defender?
Still if your phone is awake all the time and you use wifi, gps, syncs and stuff you might consider getting an extended battery. Guess you're aware that the phone only has 2100 mAh.
Are you gaming much? Primary battery killer after the screen! And Facebook POS

i done that now.. will see how its going to work
Not to open new topic, but strange problem.
S3 is not charging fully, i tried with 3 different chargers and outlets. When I plug in it starts to charge but after 30s or so it stops. I tried battery pull, restart, wipe battery stats, format system nothing helps.
Any idea why or how to solve this issue?
reflash stock rom, factory reset, use stock charger.
send it in if that fails

Have you tried another ROMs/kernels ? For example, in boeffla kernel you can change AC/USB Charge Rate.

Reflashed Slimrom, solved problem, I guess reflash of any ROM would do.
