Hello,
I've had my GS II for about a week, and the battery life has been pretty stellar, except for days where I work at the office. For some reason, there, the battery drains at about 2x the rate than in other areas. A very similar thing happened with my Captivate, but the battery lasts longer with the GS II.
However, today, at around 1PM, my phone started heating up so that it was hot to the touch, and the battery drained 60% in about 1.5 hours. Something went terribly wrong. And even plugged in, it was draining faster than it could charge!
How can I find out what happened? I don't want this to happen again.
The only thing I did was listen to a podcast with BeyondPod, but I do that every day at work over lunch. So, nothing new in my utilization.
Any ideas appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
(AT&T SG II, stock, unrooted)
May be the GPS - same experience here.

Thanks, but GPS was not on. Neither was WiFi. Just Bluetooth. It's the same settings I have every day at work, because Tasker sets my settings automatically based on cell tower location.
What's your android OS utilization look like in battery stats? Could be the mysterious bug on Samsung devices...

If you mean the bars beneath the battery chart, the signal bar was 100% green from left to right. Is that what you mean?
No, the screen before that...it will say display, android OS, android system, cell standby, etc.. what percent does it say for android OS?

I had a similar experience today. I was talking on the phone when the top of the phone got really hot. Like it hurt my ear to hold the phone against it. And then the phone rebooted. Since then it's been running phone. Need to figure out what caused it though. Might be a similar issue. But my battery life has been pretty good though. Can easily make it through a day with moderate to heavy use.
I am running CM 7.1. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. But even if it did, there is no way I am going back to stock.

Same here. My battery just drained to death. And "Android OS" was taken care 80% of my battery. What the hell...
Had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I am stock rooted.

Unfortunately, AOS often falsely reports high. Sometimes high AOS usage is fine, sometimes it's not.
I've gotten some of my best battery life with AOS at 60%.
Can't tell what happened to you without some statistics.

Yeah, this sounds very similar to what happened to me, but with stock ROM.
Two follow-on questions:
1. If it's ROM-independent, then could it be something in the hardware that's short-circuiting? Like... the cellular chipset, or perhaps the modem firmware?
2. Can you explain what about CM 7.1 is so superior to the stock rom, which I'm finding pretty fantastic at the moment?
Thanks,

Unfortunately, I don't think I can go back in history, can I? It's a new day, with a new charge... and I'm imagining that the battery meters reflect today's activity, not yesterday's disaster...
Sh1t happens. That's the way it was with multiple Windows Mobile phones I had in the past and it is obviously the way it is with multiple Android phones I have now. Usually a quick reboot of the phone will resolve the problem. As long as it didn't happen again persisitently, you are fine.
The cause is somewhere some app or service was stuck in a bad place that uses a lot of CPU or data or both. This will cause phone heats up and battery darin faster. Unless you have full dev environment and logging on the phone, it is virtually impossible to track it down.

Yeah, but does this kind of thing happen to iPhones and WinPho phones? Just curious. I am trying to convince friends & family that with the GS II, Android has finally reached parity with iOS. Perhaps not quite yet... ??
i never had battery drain but once in a while I do notice my phone gets hot on the back cover in between the SGS logo and the camera while I'm using it. If I put it down for a bit, it cools off. I figured it was just hot from use and I never thought anything more of it.

What make you think GS2 is any better than other Android phones in this regard? Anyone can make a mistake or two in programming and it is impossible to write bug free code.
Remember, latest Android Gingerbread OS is 2.3.7 and we are at 2.3.4. There are a lot of bug fixes (and new bugs) in each incremental release from Google alone. On top of that you have Samsung's customization code and various apps you installed.

It does happen to iPhones for sure. We switched from blackberry devices to the iPhone, at work, three months ago. We had five different devices experience similar heat and battery issues. The cause is typically from apps or services that sync with online data.

Hello everyone
I'm experiencing some problems with my battery being drained rather fast. I'm running one of the latest CM nightlies but my phone is empty after only 11 hours.
I've attached graphs made with Better Battery Stat to this post. My usage to was: The phone didn't leave my house and i didn't use the audio. I used it from time to time to play a game (BounceBall) read a bit on the internet (Chrome) or Reddit (Reddit News).
Despite never moving my phone Google Maps/NetworkLocations seem to be run pretty frequent. How can i disable this? And is there anything else that mgiht be wrong with my phone causing a battery drain?
Thanks in advance
Note maps qnd location services. Disable them and you'll be fine.

i'd strongly recommend also to use Juice Defender in agressive mode on. With that, your data connection will be enabled every 30min instead of being always on in the background... this saves me a lot of battery as well.
I have upgraded from ICS stock to JB stock and now my battery lasts much less than before. I am considering donwgrading to ICS 4.0.3
Hope it helps.
I'd strongly recommend you don't use Juice Defender. At all. Ever. That app (and similar apps) was designed to hoover money from n00bs who don't know better.

it's a free app, and I've tested with and without, and for me it makes a huge difference. if you never tried before, you should before saying it doesn't work... it's only 3mb and runs only 1 service on the background (around 6mb).
I did try it back when I was using a black wallpaper so I would get better battery life, on GB!
Trust us, you wont save any juice with any of those apps.

JuiceDefender does nothing you can't do yourself, and you'll pay a drain penalty for the (false) 'convenience'.
Prey is as good as it gets so far as those apps are concerned.
Lol, when you start looking into a device you're thinking about getting, when you're new to all of this, you only get the "battery life" part, hence you become obsessed with it.
The crazy thing is that you don't even know how your device behaves until you actually use it without all these apps, but you don't know that, so the first thing you get from play store, it's a juice saver app.
I should know, been there done that.
Sent from the little guy
Unless you read the advice of people who know from experience that these things use more juice than they save before you get your phone (Which is what I did for over a month before I got mine).
I didn't read any of that until I had already bought green power and weren't even using it.

I don't see the point in paying $30 to emulate android apps in an abandoned OS, when you can run android apps natively in a supported OS for free...
Take your point, but Webos is (in my view) pretty slick. The only thing missing is the apps.
Thanks for posting OP. I might just hang on to my HPTP, instead of selling it on.

The only thing going for Android for me are the apps. If the apps work well enough emulated in webOS, then I will be keeping my HP Touchpad!
30 dollars is still very expensive under my point of view...i hope people wont be dissapointed when the app will be released.

Well, I look at it this way. If someone told you that you could spend $30ish bucks to go from about a day and a half battery life to about a week battery life, would you do it? That's basically what happens if you stop using Android and start using WebOS. Like previous poster said... only missing the Android apps.
Belen sersuag
I see your point...but what i meant when i said i hope people wont be dissapointed, its because im afraid that the user experience with that software will never be close to what you can have with native android. The videos they posted shows pretty simple applications, and even there you can see there is a bit of lag....i hope people wont spend 30$ on this and then they will have to switch to android if they want to play games or use some other app that is too laggy on the webos side. But dont get me wrong, im the first one that would love to play android apps on webos, mostly because of the battery as you said, but not in exchange of a poor user experience like lags etc...

After I fixed the standby battery drain, I tested and got 21 days of standby time. This fix is included in the latest available CM9 and CM10.
Note that this was with (practically) no apps installed. So adding apps that wakeup the TP will decrease that time, but it's MUCH improved.

I have been using Greenify to help nail down the programs that wake the system all the time and my battery life has improved even more.
This capability in WebOS might be good if it is fully supported by the application developers or a way to work around the unsupported hardware issue. At this point there has been a bunch of development in CM for Touchpad and not really a need for WebOS especially without the core updates and support we are getting from Android/Google.

There have been delays to this project, but the pre-release beta is now in the hands of testers.
Reports are mixed, but generally positive. Problems mainly involve installation issues, but generally it is being reported to work quite well.

When is this damn app getting released!! I really love using WebOS and running Android apps in it would be perfect.
The G2 has a fantastic battery already, why not make it even better?
I like to see how far I can push this phone's battery. In no way does that mean that you need too as well, but for those of you that do want a few more hours or another day, I'm happy to share what I've learned.
After I've spent time learning the quirks of this phone, and most of its respective ROMs, I've come up with quite a few tricks for improving battery life, some specific to this phone, some just in android general. I now get average 3-4 days battery life, when I use the phone quite often during the day all day long.
It is your personal preference on how much of android's background services that you use compared to apps. This is only suggestions for the users that want to improve battery life.
Heres some of the simplest questions you can ask yourself when you go through the settings center:
Do I really need this feature enabled? Do I use it often? Even if I do occasionaly use it, is it that much of a pain to just turn on when I need it?
Do I really need GPS on 24/7? How often do I really use GPS?
How many apps do I need running in the background?
Do I need to keep autobright on, or keep the screen super bright?
That being said, here are some of the simple things that Ive done.
I keep everything off unless I use it every day.
I keep GPS off 24/7, I never use it.
Out of habit, I always close all apps.
I keep autobright off and keep the screen on 14 brightness. Unless Im right outside in the sun its easy to see, and if I am I can just turn it up with the quick setting.
Some of the more advanced stuff I do, that completely varies on your ROM:
Go through all the system apps and freeze anything you dont use. Example being the Picasa uploader (for me at least).
Leave as little system services running as you need. You wouldent believe how many unneeded services android runs. On the stock roms there are TWO location daemons running.
Currently Im using CleanROM, I switch between it and Cyanogen about once a week, just cant make up my mind on stability v. features, but on CleanROM, some of the stuff I have currently froze
Nearly anything involving Verizon, the carrier APKs are massive bloatware.
I disabled a lot of google services, some people may rely on these, personally I dont, the biggest two google apps I use are chrome and Gmail.
If your on a stock based ROM, disable the LG services you dont use. Textlink wastes a huge amount of power, as does QSlide.
(This applies alot more to carrier based roms than it does Cyanogen/AOSP, but even they do have a few unneccesary servcices.) Be careful when you are touching system services, if you dont know what one does, a google on its function is helpful.
Use a different launcher. Excluding the stock google launcher, most factory launchers are very inefficient, LG Home is no exception. Personally, I use SmartLauncher, a very light and very nice looking launcher with a fantastic layout. Nova I know is very light on resources aswell.
The more widgets you have cluttering your screen, the more power they will waste.
I can personally confirm myself that Kitkat based roms have incredible battery life after they settle in for a few days, the kernel level improvements brought with KitKat are very noticable. Currently Gummy Rom and three CM11 builds exist for KitKat, why not give them a try?
If you have unusually high battery usage, check your wakelocks, and see what exactly is using all the power, and you can disable/turn it off and remove that battery drain.
On a final note, comeon guys turn your phones off at night. I have yet to hear a good reason to leave it running over night, all it does is waste power and most commonly let the notification light run for 8 hours. If you use your phone as a alarm, you could turn on airplain mode overnight.
These are just some of the things that I do, if you have any more suggestions, feel free to post them or message me, I'll be glad to add them to the list.
I do not own this device but whats the point of turning all the feature of your phone off just to get a couple more hours out of it just use it like you should and stop worrying too much...

I'll say this again, not everyone is aware of some of the lower level services that android runs that are completely pointless and cause a lot of wakelocks. This drills some's battery life down to 8hrs or less, which they then complain about. You would be surprised at the amount of stuff I have enabled.

GPS is not pointless, it uses for Facebook, navigation, weather update, yelp and a lot of apps.. what you deem is pointless is different than everyone...your reason to own a smartphone is seriously wrong in so many ways...just saying man but its your money.
Honestly people should just enjoy the phone rather than trying to make it last longer. If your phone can make it through the day then consider that a successful phone.
I assumed everyone used their phone as an alarm. I never turn my phone off subsequently.
Some nice hints for someone needing more battery; however, I disagree with your assertion that closing applications saves power. Assuming you need to open the application again it would make sense to leave the application running (idle) in cached ram.

It completely depends on how often said application is opened, and what it does while idle. I know out of hand while I'm at work I see several people with 3-4 games left open on their phone, this is more what I was reffering too.

I wrote this late last night, so I didnt have time to look through the list of everything I froze, but I'll add it to the OP in the next few minutes since I have a few free moments.
I FINALLY plugged my phone back on to the charger.
Almost 2 1/2 hours screen on time, about 90 minutes talk time, random browsing, maps usage while out. Screen was at 100% brightness for the first 35 hours, then 50% brightness until this morning when it auto set to 6% for battery conservation. Wifi on, overriding 4G when possible. I am literally stunned as how long one charge went.
NICE !!! But make sure you realize your phone is sleeping the majority of that time, so you have to consider that time as standby and not actual 'usage per say'
2h screen is almost insignificant.
I can reach 150h easily leaving the phone in a dark room for a few days.
Nothing special.

Its a great standy/idle time but.. not even worth to compare with a normal/power user and not even worth to make a thread about it...

And why can I not be a "normal" user. I used that phone exactly like I used my last phone. Check in on social media from time to time, read forums for a little bit, talk some, use maps, etc. I just don't rely on it as heavily as others. But any time you have a smart phone with 4G that you can toss in your pocket and use for two plus days reliably, that's something worth noting. My HTC Rezound if left to sit in standby and never touch wouldn't go 12 hours or so before being dead.
So yeah, I think it's worth noting. Not everyone has to use their phone as their primary means of everything electronic.
well, 96 hours = are 4 days.. and in this 4 days the screen was on for like over 2 hours. I dont know but that makes no sense fro me.. for me it actually looked like you just waked up your phone to check the battery
I mean, its cool for you that you reached such time, but why making a new thread and show some nonsense?
On my last cycle i watched it was like 8 hours screen on time within like 51 hours from 100% to 3%.. did i make a new thread? nope.

I'm throwing a bull**** flag on your 8 hours of screen time with 51 hours total.....no screen shot showing it then it didn't happen.

I love your madness xD I said "LIKE" and I know it and I'm fine with it. I don't need to show my epenis with some screenshots believe it or not. Not my problem I will live with an awesome battery life with MY usage, that's why I don't show such stuff

But yet you take the time to trash talk someone who is pleased with his and was excited enough about it that he took the time to share it with others. Now it is my madness that you speak of???
It's more like spamming the forum. And don't care about my time i have enough to throw out

I think Kewkie is the only one wasting everyone's time. These threads are created for researchers who plan on buying. Finding a forum with tons of positive feedback isn't a waste of everyone's time. My galaxy Nexus had 2 hours screen on time but would be completely dead in 8 hours. So to have the same screen on time and it go another 90 hours! That's thread worthy.
Maybe instead of bashing, you could throw up your own screenshots. Lots of forums have uptime battery threads.
If we don't have one, maybe the OP could edit the title and make an official battery posting thread. They are handy to have to compare roms and various versions. For example I just got the 12B Verizon update and my battery seems to have taken a hit. It would be nice to have before and after results.

This +1
Let the OP express what his feedback is towards the phones battery life
@op Nice stats you have there thats like what 4 days without a charger and almost 2 hours and 30mins of SOT is quite impressive IMO
coming from the Note II i thought battery life was king till i bought this phone
See my post, im not hesitant to show my stats

I find it interesting to say the least. I have an old motorola droid RAZR HD. When I charge it and just leave it for my alarm clock it will get 10+ days easy of idle time. However android os isn't the highest. Idk why but it seems the g2 android os is always a significant portion of the battery. Wonder what it could be.

knock on raises android system. disable that and android system drops
It's the knock on feature. If you disable it, your G2 can live for a month

Maybe i do, actually i dont care, and for some guys maybe im telling the truth.
So you will tell us, that its fine when a guy is doing an research for the battery and finds this thread and thinks "wow 100 hours batteryife, damn thats sick!" so what if the guy who did the research is an poweruser and just can reach like 50? 55? hours because his screen time is 3-4 times more than the OP's one?
And i dont post sreens because i dont take a screenshot of any loading cycle and fap on it. I use my phone as an smarthphone and dont trim it to a useless phone without mobile data, without syncing, without getting messages from social media, whatsapp, viber, whatever.
So if you think im wasting others time, dont answer me or stop reading my posts
Just cause im telling the truth doesnt mean im a troll or whatever.
And 96 hours with 2h 23m screen on time is like, put the phone into a room and let it idle. I could make such test and i bet i can get even more hours, but why should i waste 5-6 days without using my smartphone as an smartphone, to show how great my batterylife is? No, sorry.. im fine when i can use my phone for like 2 days with a great screen on time and use my smartphone probably.
Why i post here then? Well, to open "researchers" eyes and those guys should look at the screen on time and dont get blended by the thread title.
