This was a known issue with the MAX17040 fuel gauge of the Infuse, not sure about the 17042 of the GS2.
When the fuel gauge wacks out like this, always look at the raw voltage to see if it's inconsistent.
Ill go ahead a do another test tonight to check it out

Ive noticed this as well. it doesnt do it everytime though.
I'd try calibrating I had this issue once and haven't had it since calibrating.

My GS2 will not sleep. It used to be just fine but two months ago I noticed after leaving my phone alone for two hours thar the batter went from full to 30. It constantly happens. I don't use the phone or even touch it and than when I check it and hour or two later its damn near dead. Is there a reason my phone isn't sleeping when its not I'm use?

There's an app that's eating your battery. Download an app called better battery stats and leave your phone alone. Then start that app and see which things have the most usage

I'm looking for battery stats in the apply market I'm not seeing anything. When I look at my battery useage it says the Android OS is using 66% of my battery!!!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
See that little box that says search at the top? Use that thing.
There's some program not allowing the phone to deep sleep. Look around on how to find what's causing that to happen. (Wakelock)

Thats a rogue app causing the high android sys.
+1, I've seen this on 2 handsets.
Using GSam Battery Monitor, then clicking on app usage ->android system -> manage -> clear defaults
The above seems to stop the issue after a reboot. I've not seen it happen again since I did that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 9hrs and 47% left doesn't seem like a problem... if you take your phone and leave it on (with screen off) and wait until it dies then charge and turn on you will see that the "system" eats almost all your battery. There is nothing wrong with your phone unless you used it a ton and the system still eats all your battery which If that is the case and it's been 9 hours and had 47% battery then I would think you were doing MUCH better than most, imho.

I've got the same problem. Only yesterday, mine was over 65%! My phones horrible on battery life. Some things definitely up

When I click manage it won't allow me to clear defaults...
And this began at around the 50% mark and as soon as it starts my battery starts dying way quicker
Do these screen shots help?

any ideas? seems like xda needs to be manualy killed or it ends up using alot of resources in the bacground
I have seen the same on my phone, but it has not happened consistently enough for me to narrow down the possible cause...
Happened to me once so far. Charged my phone to full and went to work. I didn't use my phone for anything other than to check the time. I started noticing that the back of the phone was getting very hot, more so than when charging. I pulled my phone out and the battery was waaay down :
Hasn't happened since (fingers crossed).
Edit: I guess mine wasn't the Android system, but cell standby.

The fix for the cell standby drain is easy, see here: http://techsplurge.com/10665/solution-samsung-galaxy-s3-cell-standby-battery-drain-problem/ As for the android system drain it seems to have resolved itself. I still get alot of kernel wakelocks from bam_dmux_wakelock though
I recently put a new ROM on. And now its taking ALL day to charge. Its only been doing this a few days. But it seems to take an hour to charge 1% using stock charger/ cable. Also tried others. Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

Need a bit more info please...
What rom/kernel...baseband, and carrier..
Also, are you charging with the phone in use, or is it turned off...
Also, are you overclocked, overvolted ??
and are you using the stock charger and cable ??
thanks in advance....g
Gubment cheese ROM. Stock charger/cable. No oc or UV. And the last charge was while sleeping. Went to bed at 46% woke up 6 hrs later at 89% and that is with the kernel that is included with ROM

A bit slower than normal, but if coming to this rom fresh, it needs a few days to "settle"...
My math shows this:
89% - end charge
minus
46 %- start charge
= 43% charge
divided by 6 hours, = 7.16 % per hour.
Better than my build gets right now....with a stock battery...(using CM9 stable today).....
Watch it for a few more days and monitor the charge rate. I'm not ruling out a problem with battery either, but considering the fact that your last build was better, the battery should be fine.
But honestly, once the stats get built and the rom settles in, you will likely see an increase in charging rate, and a decrease in discharge time.
The symptoms your having are not uncommon after flashing a new build.
Also, have you verified your wireless connections ?..I.E.is the device attempting to access wifi, or roam on wireless bands ?
Often times this causes rapid battery drain....
Thats my .02 at the moment brother......g
And I appreciate that!! I don't use WiFi. And most of the time I'm just on 4g. Always have good 4g connection at home. With nothing running background. I'll give it a few days though and see what happens!! Thanks broth a!!

Do report back with the charge percentages after a few days....it's good info for the rom threads...
thank you....g
I know its only been a few hours. Just got home from work after heavy use at work, threw it on the charger at 23% and went for a smoke before bed. Got back and already 28% I'd say that's on hell of an improvement from this morning!! I don't know why. But i be had this ROM running great for a few days. Then all the sudden slow charging. But now its fine. I really appreciate all the help!!!

Happened to me when i went from TW to AOKP. I was stuck at 19% for hr and than when I restored back to TW it started charging normal again.
May be some files left over from one rom causing the slow down.
About to try the avatar rom again and see if it's still going on.

Very possible ....
I always wipe the EMMC partition after a new rom ....
Without having the device in hand, it's impossible to say what the cause may be.
Whether it's a rom issue, or apps etcetera......g
I think I found the culprit....
If you have a .tmp folder delete it.
I deleted mine and my battery started charging normal again.

I had read something regarding that a few days ago. Couldn't find it anywhere in the phone. I completely wiped it. Returned it to factory GB and still had issues charging. I sent it back to att this morning after getting my warranty phone. So problem solved. Its something hardware related on mine

Here is a solution: Get a new ROM because the ROM you have installed is over clocked too much so the voltage the phone gets from the battery is almost equivalent to the voltage of your charger. The charger has a voltage of 5, which means the phone has a voltage of now 4.7V
Phone was working great..
CM 10.1 LATEST BUILD
HBOOT 1.40
4EXT RECOVERY MOD
This is how it started... Was driving to LA noticed my phone was dying 14% , plugged into the car charger then checked to see the drain/charge mAh lucky it was at 658+ mAh arrived to my destination unplugged the battery and it was at 72%.
Restarted my phone just to restart .
Listened to some music battery was at 67 then bam.. Phone turns off!!!!!!
Now I tried powering it on NOTHING. No red light, no dimmed light. Plugged in the wall charger original port and USB cable.. No charging light. Tried pulling battery out , putting it back in nothing. Left it on the charger for an hour just to see if it will pick up a charge, nope nothing.
SO SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

Try letting it charge overnight, its never happened to me, but I recall someone explaining a similar scenario. Turned out to be some kind of deep sleep.
A long overnight charge apparently fixed it.....
Good luck

I've had a problem in the the last week my note has started to shutdown when the battery gets low. It does fine until it gets to the point where the battery shows yellow and then it just shuts off. There's no notification like normal or anything to let me know it's going to happen. I thought it was the battery so I bought a new one and it does the same thing. I thought maybe something corrupted the rom so I wiped it and reflashed fresh WITHOUT using a backup and it still happens. I starting to think it's a hardware issue has anyone else ran into this?

You still haven't ruled out software if you flashed the SAME Rom/kernel.
assuming the rom is fine, download isn't corrupt, and you flash it properly... Do you do batt calibration and or wiping batt stats? update recovery?

The roms fine I used it for a long time with no issues. What is the best app for battery calibration
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Charging it to full for longer than you might normally would do more than any app....
The os wipes the stats each time the battery is charged fully, and are only used to display usage in the battery section of the settings menu. They do not actually effect power consumption at all.
I usually try to run the battery down before bed so it can charge overnight and it still just shuts off. I'm really starting to believe it's a hardware issue. Like the phone doesn't recognize where the battery level is correctly

Try cleaning the battery contacts with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Probably won't help... but does no damage to try.
