[Q] Battery draining too fast - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a problem with my battery I have my new sgs 2 and I rooted and did a new rom and all but my battery is draining really fast under moderate use! 3 hours of moderate use and I lose about 30% battery! What can be the problem? I calibrated and did speedmod kerenel, still heavy drain... in sleep mode I guess it can last like 2 days but I want to use my phone constantly without loosing so much battery

As far as I can tell based on this information, you have no drain. It's normal that the screen consumes power. If you standby time is 2 days, then you have no battery drain.
Lower your screen brightness and avoid using white colours. And no there is nothing else you can do.

But I see slot of people who get 10 hours of use on moderate and even heavy use,.. maybe it's my rom? I use rarity rom with speedmod kernel, maybe I should use checkrom?

No one gets 10 hours with screen on. Thats what you are talking about right? You get 3-4 hours max.
So 30% in 3 hours is normal and not bad.

Right now I got left 58% battery after almost 3 hours of moderate/ heavy use like YouTube mostly fb internet n stuff, is that normal?
I got almost half brightness with 3g always on

Yes .

So is there any particular rom that is known to save battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

yes, there is a way to save more battery - use common sense.

Srry I meant to write rom but galaxy must have "fixed " it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Whichever ROM makes you not use your phone. Probably best to choose the worst looking one you can find, so you're less likely to use it.

You still don´t understand it. The screen uses power. No matter what rom/kernel you use.

I do get it but isent there any rom that actually saves battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

No there isnt, at least not afaik.
Get urself Android Assistant, switch to Tools and check out Battery Use. If u click on the "Other" button u'll see exactly what drains the most power. I'm almost certain it'll look like this:
Display
Android System
Android OS
Display can only be reduced by brightness, auto-rotate screen and Auto adjust screen power (See Display settings)
Android System includes many packages. (Look up the details in the Assistant to see which ones u can kill for now)
Android OS is mostly ur CPU clock. U can get urself SetCPU (root required) to lower ur clock frequency (mines set to min 200/max 800; on demand). Everyting runs smooth and I dont see any difference besides 2-4 more hours of battery
Dont set it too low or it wont start up anymore!
The Assistant quick boost widget is also pretty useful. Just click on it and it'll kill all unused apps increasing ur TTL, even if its only a lil bit.
Hope this helps!

[Q] PROBLEM SGS2 eats battery incredibly fast

Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?
Check for wakelocks.

Brilliant. Carry on enjoying your 5-6 hour battery life then.
very funny
It will help also have you checked what is consuming battery? Do you have data, wifi or bluetooth on?
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yes I checked everything. I have wifi bt 3g off, screen 40% in battery usage it says screen eats 70% battery and the rest is some apps 2-3%
You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it
Xperia x10i
DonutHD
DoomKernel v6
Unlocked and unbranded.. Bye bye vodafone
I would give you some help on it but I don't think you will think that would help.

I've given you your first "thanks" because you've made me laugh quite hysterically.
Hope you're battery's down to 5-6 seconds soon.
Check out a poster here who goes by the sadly inappropriate name of TheMegaStar - you two are made for each other.
Original poster seems a funny guy, don't think he wants our help.
Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.

Xperia S battery saving

I have serious problem with my Xperia S battery.
My battery runs over very fast and when Im charging my phone and I play a game the same time. I am thinkng of rooting it just to make my battery last longer but since Im new here and I haven't attended to root a phone yet I would be glad if you could answer some of my questions like:
1) Would rooting affect my battery life?
2) What risks do I take?
3) Any other suggestion?
I have tried many apps in the past like advanced task killer (which auto kills every app when screen is off), I deactivated Contacts and installed exDialer and I have reduced my screen's brightness to about 20%. Im desperate because Im leaving in holidays and if my phone continues like this it will probably be a pain in the *bip*
*My search on extended batteries was pointless since XS's battery can't be removed except you unscrew some screws. (not sure about that phrase)
Thanks for time and sorry for any mistake I possibly made!
1. No, but installing custom ROM's may increase battery life.
2. Bricking it, but the rooting procedures for XS is pretty simple.
3. Yeah.
Go to settings -> battery. Whats using most battery?
I also recommend you installing "GO Power Master" from play. With this app, you can see what hardware AND app using battery! Very nice app.
Then close the apps that may eating your battery.
And every widgets on the home screen and in the top statusbar also draines battery. Also make sure autosync is off if u want to save battery.
Good luck!

why ? wifi decreases battery level extremely !?
Wifi cannot increase your battery life...
I'd suggest rooting the phone that way you can uninstall system-apps and uninstall bloatware. Alternatively try stopping unnecessary apps running under options-> Apps. Playing games will greatly reduce your battery life... If I play final fantasy 3 for two hours I'll lose 40-50% battery life! Rooting it's fairly simple... Of course there is always a risk. Ensure you have full battery if you choose to root...

As I said it's the first time I will attemp to root a phone so is there any tutorial on how to do it on my XS? What ROM would you suggest for better battery life?
*Running on the latest 4.0.4

If you dont want want to root you can always try juice defender works really well for me!

i think prety much we are the best sony's handset so far (exept acro s),so a jb update will come out (but we will have to wait a bit......sony is really slow with updates,imagine that i still dont have official ics and its F*CKING AUGUST!!!!)
also when you have rooted your device try freezing the "com.sonyerricson.awake" it drains a lot of battery as i've heard

I get a battery drain problem. when the screen is off, the battery drain is normal, but when i'm using my phone, no matter what I do, it drain 1% per 2 min(I think). And I'm not sure, but I think I have this problem on any Leak or Stock i'm on... ! what do I do?

Go into system settings > Battery and check what is using most battery.
If it's screen there's not much to do other than leave auto brightness on.
The phone does use a lot of juice when it's on though, undervolting and underclocking might help a bit...
download cpu spy and betterbattrrystats
1 double check your phone is going into deep sleep when u switch of screen
2 use betterbatterystats to find out what's using all ur juice ( disable all the things u can ie sync mobile data etc)
3 have u overlooked or undervolted
4 what is your max cpu freq set at.
5 once you've found rogue app remember to uninstall betterybatterystats otherwise it will eat your battery ( learnt from experience )
hope this helps

1 cpu spy tells who how long in each freq sTate your phone has been
make sure "deep sleep" got the most time

the deep sleep has the most of the time. so as the 144MHz, about 1 hour, and the 200MHz, 1:24 hours.
how can I check what app uses the most of the 1400MHz and the 200Mhz???
It could be media scanner. Sometimes it get's stuck and keeps on running. You can download rescan media from playstore and disable it.

Ouch! That's a bit lot. I just flashed DL1 2 days ago and all is much better than in previous (ROM 4.0.4 BLG8). Since morning(6:30AM) down to 72% now(2:50PM).
How do I actually use betterybatterystats to find the rogue wakelock app? I'm very interested in this but don't know what to do.

Not really. I'm a newbie myself so sorry mate.
You could post your better battery stats on its thread. People there usually analyze it for you.
But basically your looking for apps with high time and /or count.
Each count represents that app going out of deep sleep for a microsecond or less. So an app with a high count will be constantly waking up your phone even if it's total time is only a few seconds.

Try to use watchdow to see wichs apps/process/system process are using most of your cpu, ma xcpu freq (1400mhz) shouldn't be that high so maybe a rogue app is draining your battery
If you want to see the wakelocks i recomend using GSam battery monitor, in the app sucker you can see wich apps are waking your device an how many times, but you have to try out after a period of time
The other problem could be some corrupted media files that make your mediaserver drain a lot of battery, if so, check the .nomedia files in your sd, look for image not loading in the gallery, use an mp3 checker app to se if some of your music files are corrupted (search through xda, someano posted an utility to do this) and try to re-encode your mp3, in my case, this solved my issue
hope it helps

it could be a whole bunch of things, people won't be able to help if you don't post any info of your device rom/kernel, wifi on? gps on? screen brightness? all that needs to be taken into consideration.
The most common problems for battery drain are media scanner as mentioned earlier, Google maps, wifi is a big drainer even if you are IDLE for some reason wifi keeps on receiving something (i'm guessing it is the "keep alive" packet) but havent dug into it, also found that "Samsung push Service" was sucking juice so I froze the bugger, the last thing I found on my S3 (runing Wanam's leaked JB DLH4) was "DRM Protected content" for some reason it kept coming up so I froze the sucker with Titanium backup and i'm doing around 20 to 21 hours average.
I've used Better Battery Stats, Battery Drain Analyzer and Android's own battery analyzer to keep track of my usage.
I hope anything of this helps you and good luck on your findings.

ICS or Jellybean?

Hi guys.. ive been flashing all kinds of rom and kernel. In the end i find stock Ics with stock kernel gives me both the performance and battery life i need after removing useless start up and freezing unwanted apps.
Had been using the default touchwiz and suprising theres no lag or redraw or whatever issues. Only set back is i cant customize my stock rom.
Battery life wise i can get up to 6 hrs screen time or maybe more. Will post screenshot after i drain my battery.
On jellybean, batt drain is more noticeable regardless using stock or any other jb roms / kernels. Personally i dont like OCing or undervolting so pls dont mention abt those here.
I am wondering who else here share the same experience with both ICS and JB. Would u still stay on ics or jb?
Would love to hear opinions

You got 6 hours of screentime with data/wifi on with ICS?
Personally I've been getting better battery life with MIUI on Jellybean, but I've also been using Siyah since the first day I flashed my ROM so that might also have something to do with it. I've had experience with stock ICS and MIUI ICS as well, and the battery drain was essentially the same. I'm running a heavily customized JDUltimate though. If you don't want to undervolt or flash another ROM/kernel then JD is a great alternative. I was using stock GB on my S2 with nothing but Juice Defender and I got pretty decent battery stats, though I can't remember them right now.

Hi .. yes approx 6hrs screen time. With only 3g. But i setted my display to around 20% brightness as im indoor most of the time. I usually use the same setup to test among roms and phones as ive got 2x S3 to play with. One of it is my gfs phone. She plays lots of games so i also hear her feedback regarding the roms and kernels i flashed for her.
I find using auto brightness actually drains the battery more with continus use. I also make sure i got only essential tasks ans apps running in backgrd. Btw i have whatsapp in backgrd all the time.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I have my brightness at the lowest setting most of the time as well, as the only time that I'm going to be in bright daylight is when I'm walking around, and I'm not going to be looking at my phone while I'm crossing the street and whatnot I figured that all of those "auto" settings actually drain more battery because of their constant turning off and on and adjusting and etc...it seems like it would consume unnecessary CPU power.
How do you manage which apps run in the background?

1. Root the phone
2. Install all the apps / games
3. Use ES task manager to remove unwanted startup
4. Use tit backup to freeze unwanted apps.
System apps like mapservice, secphone, samsung pushservice etc that runs in the background are frozen with tit backup and startup removed by ES task manager.
Result : No useless bloat running in your phones background. Better batt life and performance. I can achieve 300mb ram after a fresh reboot. Stays aroumd 400 to 500 range of ram after a day. Will observe ram a day more as i just flashed stock 3days ago.
But so far so good. Quad benchmark scores are a minimum 5.4k too! Will post screenshots on weekend.

An Aussie? Smutty humour? Never!
(I also had a juvenile chuckle earlier when someone said tit backup!)
So far my experience is in ICS's favour.
Ok. JB is latest. FIne.
BUT TELL ME SOMETHING WE CAN DO IN JB AND NOT IN ICS?
I didnt see even a single sort of such think except some added settings in settings app.
Even looks are same.
We can easily mod the ICS rom to make it look better.
For looks and functions of JB, we can use launchers ofcourse!
And personally, in JB, my ram normal usage was 500+MB.
In ICS, with same apps, its 200-300 MB. How and Why? Both stock kernels.
Also, i am used to playing games while charging. In JB, the battery only declined, even while charging when i played game. But in ics, there is charging instead of discharging even when i play games.
Therefore, jb is mess for me! So unstable with lesser battery....

Yeah, I typed out several replies, not sure what would get me banned but I am sure a couple of them would've been close.
Users want update because its an update not because its better other wise noobs would not have flashed leaked test roms or Polish firmware .

[Q] [ROM][XXLSJ][30Dec] Omega v17 - JB 4.1.2: Screen battery drain

Hi all, I was trying to post this question directly in the forums but looks like i have not permissions to post on the developers threads since this is my first post :crying:
I have a question about battery duration with the omega rom on my SGS II.
First i flashed version 16.2 and i saw my phone's battery life was not very good (10-12 hrs average). i thought it could be all the things this JB rom can do (like smart stay and all that kind of stuff) so i went back to the Omega ICS v15.1 but same thing with the battery life, i wa doing at least two recharges per day. Then i saw that the omega v17 was released so i decided to give it a try hoping thing will be better.
I alredy did the rescvan media root app thing, disabling sync, and all those tips with no difference.
Am I missing something, does my battery needs to be replaced? (i bouthg the phone like a year ago).
And what is the average normal duration with this ROM?
Thanks in advance!!
(I'm attaching an SS of my battery stats)

Hi I'm in a similar position on a jb ROM also get not many hours 10-15 as u can see nearing 6hrs will probably get some where between 50-60% battery it just feels like it drains fast when I use it and when its on sleep as well. I'm also doing all the tweaks to save battery life changing govenor turning off sync killing apps low brightness etc. Still feels like short battery when phone being used or in sleep. Tried several jb roms. On siyah betav4
