[Q] Strange battery usage - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I charge and unplug my phone everyday and found that the battery usage is weird recently. Any idea? Thanks.

Try to clear the battery stats from CWM recovery?

I also seem to be having this problem.
Tried wiping battery stats and tested over 3+ cycles of charging, yet still the battery usage is all over the shop with roughly the same amount of use.

I did the Battery Calibration after I flashed the rom and the battery usage was fine after that, just recently weird.
I will clear the battery stat and see what will happen. Thanks guys.

Battery Recalibration- Wipe batt stats

Hi!
Yesterday when my battery was at 88%, I wiped the batt stats from Amon Ra.
When I switched on my phone, my hero told me that the battery was full (100%).
I want to know something more about Recalibration of the battery by wiping battery stats. Searching on the Internet somebody tells that is important to wipe batt stats when the battery is empty, and then charge it.
Other people reccomend to wipe battery stats when the battery is full.
What do you suggest?
Thanks

The way I've learned to recalibrate the battery is to let it go down to 5%, boot phone into recovery and wipe batterystats, then power off the phone. Let the phone charge until the green led is on without turning it on. Then turn on and use the phone as usual. Learned it over at modaco. Worked as a charm, and batterytime was improved. I have personally experienced strange batterybehaviour after periods with flashing a lot of roms.

Yep, every time I flash a ROM it's suggested to do a full wipe, battery stats also, and i think that with a lot of flashing, the battery behavour become strange.
I tried that "trick" today on my phone, I will tell you how is battery life.
Thank you!

No problem! Good luck
I'm going to try this tonight and will report back my findings tomorrow.
I just hope I don't get any important calls or texts while it's turned off to charge
Any update on your experiments guys as I am about to do the battery stats wipe too.
Any updates on this?
Ooops, I forgot to reply back but it's been covered in different threads in the Hero section and for other Android phones... it does work.
As others have said, after flashing different ROMs the battery starts to mis-report but this trick seems to sort it out

Different battery discharge rate. Any ideas?

Hi guys. I'm running on CheckROM revoHD4 and while sometimes I lose 10% of battery overnight today I dropped 30% in 3.5 hours doing absolutely nothing with screen off and not a huge ammount of apps running on the background. And its not the first time I notice inconsistent discharge. When I installed this ROM battery would last for 20h/3h screen/3h voicecalls. now sometimed it doesn't even last half of that. Any ideas?
You should check the battery info via Settings > About Phone > Battery Stats to see if you find a proccess that is huging the battery.
Also you could download Better Battery Stats from the Market and find which proccess are the ones doing the more Wake Locks and how much time they have done it. You could find for example an app thats been doing that for hours and that could be the cause of the battery drain.

Phone having trouble charging??

Not sure why, but I restarted my phone and it went from 50% down to 5 % power? Had it on the charger all night and it was still at 5%?? Took it off the charger for a few hours and im still at 5%. Tried wiping stats and had no luck? Any Help??

Drain all battery and charge it from zero. Let it be fully charged before starting it. If you run CWM you can wipe battery state.
Your question is in wrong section in the forum. Try starting the thread in General.
Cheers
+1 this -- and some additional detail...
Wiping battery stats does NOT improve actual battery life. If done properly, and coupled with a calibration cycle, it can increase the accuracy with which your battery reports its current charge. Ideal process is as follows..
Charge to 100%
Reboot into CWM
wipe battery stats under" advanced"
Reboot
Charge back to 100%
Let it DIE (go to 0%) from normal use, DO NOT charge it during the cycle
Re-charge to 100% and you're all recalibrated.
From the sound of it, don't be surprised if your phone sits at 5% for hours. After the calibration, your battery history should be a relatively smooth, downward sloping curve.

Check Settings>Battery Information>Battery Usage and see if a process named RILD is using a high percentage of your battery usage. That process - a very necessary Motorola radio daemon - is wreaking some havoc by causing very rapid battery discharge and also preventing normal charging.
No solution for you but thought I would let you know before you try too many different "solutions" needlessly.
Thanks!

[Q] Wipe Battery Stats

I had wiped battery stats with clockwork recovery since 2 months
I’m facing problem with battery calibration, I tried many application to calibrate the battery but till now the battery will not charge to 100% even it is connected to the charger for 10 hours
After charging it for around 10 hours it appears 62% and when I reboot the phone it is coming 97% and after 10 minutes it is appears 100%
Is there any idea how to calibrate the battery and fix that problem?
The method I use would be as follows:-
1) Discharge your battery till your phone turns off.
2) Charge it for about 6 hours.
3) Go into Clockwork Recovery to clear battery stats.
Your battery should be close to what you expect it to be.

Contrary to what many people seem to believe, your battery stats do NOT in any way influence the displayed battery percentage indicated by the phone. Never "calibrate" your battery by wiping battery stats.
The problem the OP is experiencing is an indication of a hardware problem with either the phone or (more likely) the battery.
Are you using an OEM battery?

yes, I'm using the original HTC battery.

install better battery stats or wakelock detector or the loke and find what is eating the battery. On stock with the screen off you should get 8 to 10 days standby with no use
I was having this problem recently, and checking the battery stat, I see Gmail is eating up all the battery even when the screen was off.
Gmail? Seriously?
So I looked at the Gmail app stat, and see the cache was at 1.4Gb in size! I cleared the cache and now, it is back to normal.
Have no idea why the cache was that big, nor why that contributed to the battery drain, but check your battery usage. If Gmail is eating up the battery life, follow my example to see if that helps.
