What is this "Wi-Fi sharing" that drains battery? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hello all,
I unplugged my fully recharged GSII last night and set the alarm for the morning and slept. I woke up in the middle of the night, about 2 hours since I unplugged the phone and realized that it only had 78% of battery.... I've had enough battery to use for 2 days without hooking it up..
I was quite shocked to see this... but then I saw this app called "wi-fi sharing" just draining the phone's battery. It drained it down so much that when I woke up in the morning the battery was down to 50%.
What IS this monster? I have it frozen at the moment..

Classic AT&T bloatware... It's some filesharing thing, it's different from wifi tethering...

[Q] Battery wont Charge

Hey Guys.... So I picked up my Thunderbolt on the 18th and everything has been going ok except until this morning. My TB died last night, so I plugged it in and turned it back on. I left it on the charger overnight. I wake up this morning and it is only at 41%. So I am like WTF? so I reset the phone leave it on the charger for another hour, and now it is currently reading 29%.... Omgoodness. Has anyone else experienced this with their Thunderbolt??????
My problem is not nearly as severe, I can not get it past 97% no matter how long I leave it plugged in.
If you're rooted you could try clearing the battery stats. This is usually not recommended (at least not to do often) but it has to be better than 29% battery.

Strange overnight battery drain behaviour

Another battery drain thread....
The battery life on my UK S2 during the day is fine - from 8am to 5pm in the office it goes from 100% to 75%, with 3G on the whole time (no wifi, GPS or bluetooth). I check emails throughout the day but make/receive very few calls.
Last night I charged the phone to 100% then installed ZDBox, put the phone into Do Not Disturb/Airplane mode between midnight and 9am using ZDBox, and left the phone by my bedside upstairs. When I checked it at 08:50 this morning the phone was still in airplane mode but the battery had dropped to 25%.
If I can go 9 hours in the office with 3G switched on, and occasional email checking, and still retain 75% charge, why would it have dropped from 100% to 25% while in airplane mode for 9 hours at home overnight?
The battery usage stats at 08:50 this morning showed:
Android O/S 96%
Android System 2%
Dialer 2%
I'm running stock XWKI4 (2.3.4), upgraded via Kies and rooted.

Search XDA for BettertBatteryStats download.
Install and after 24 hours check for wakelocks and see if a rogue app is draining the battery.
Edit: here it is.

i would also urge people to purchase this app in the market to support the developer who is always on hand to offer assistance on XDA and always posts updates on here too, it's well worth the small charge for a great app.

[Q] Battery Issues

Ive been having a weird battery issue. my battery gauge will say its at 15% or whatever it says at the time. ill plug it in and like 10 minutes later it will say 100% battery is fully charged. Obviously its not 100%, even when I charge it overnight, when I unplug it itll be stuck at 100% for like 2 hours then all the sudden drop to like 85%. im lucky if my battery lasts 12 hours now , same thing has happened on different roms. Do I need a new battery?

I'd try a different ROM/Kernel, see if that makes any difference (after clearing batterystats in CWM).
If that wouldn't help, I'd say battery is ze dead.

tried differents and kernels, and wiped battery stats guess my battery is done
try "battery calibration" app. it helps me a lot, and keep my phone running longer. i can last almost a day with medium use.
i have also tested with on screen non-stop (wifi + online game that require wifi, brightness roughly around 30%, medium volume, with whatsapp and talkbox in between), in conclusion, i can run for 4hours plus straight with sufficient battery left. i never push it through, i think i can go for 5 hours if i want to.
battery calibration app can be found in play google store
Worst battery life evah!
Im having issue with my battery as well, I plug it in a electric outlet for about an hour last night and when i saw the charge, it was only like 49%!!!!
And today, before my meeting it was like 22%, after an hour of meeting, BOOM! EMPTY BATT! What I only did was surf and checked my calendar!
It charge slow! And its draining fast!
something happened to my battery before last month, when i charge my fone it says 88% then suddenly after few mins 1 or 2 it become fully charge,but when i unplug my charger it comes back to 88% again, i tried some apps like battery calibration and also i'm wiping the battery stats in cwm everytime i flashed a new rom and it helps my battery charge in normal and accurate level...i'm using also cpu spy to checked if my fone is going to a deep sleep. now my battery lasts for 1day 11hrs with light usage. but for heavy usage i've got 40% after 4hrs of continious hd gaming.

Battery Charging Issue?

Has anyone got the same problem where your L9 stop charging at 89% and start draining fast like hell, mine drop to 86 % in 2 minutes even when the charger is still connected. Battery recalibration seems didn't work. Charging while the phone is dead didn't work too. Any suggestions?
Yes, I plugged my P769 in the wall to charge at night. In the morning, it shows that the phone is 92% charged. Took the phone off the charger and didn't really use the phone much, but checked my phone about 7 hours later and it was down to 1% remaining. Charged it again last night, and it's showing 92% this morning. Seems like it does not charge after 92%. This happens only a couple of days ago, and I didn't tweak my phone in any way.
