Hi,
this probably was discussed already but can't seem to find anything using search.
My battery drops about 30% overnight with Wifi and Mobile data disabled, I'm coming from a HTC Desire which lost 2 or 3% under same conditions.
I noticed yesterday night that wifi-sharing took a lot of battery although I never used this and wifi was off.
I then rooted and installed titanium backup and I froze wifi-sharing and the samsung "hub" apps as this was mentionned on another forum as being a solution.
This morning however, no wifi sharing which is good, but I lost again 30%, this time just the "android system" took the most.
I'm out of ideas, this can't be normal right?
I am still running 2.3.3, there are no upgrades for my country currently
BB version I9100XXKE4
Kernel 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build gingerbread.xwke7
I think I might be ready to start flashing ROM's now
Anybody any tips? I like my device as is so want to keep it as stock as possible but with better battery life and if possible editable power controls in the notification bar (I want to add "mobile data" also to it)
Cheers

- prefera
Since you are already rooted and want to stay as stock as possible then go to this thread here and follow the guide that Intratech gives and choose whichever firmware you want. they are all official releases and all stock as you like it.
Backup your rom though in recovery. Make sure you backup your apps with Titanium Backup and read the guides in that thread i gave you and you should be fine. Also install an application called BetterBatteryStats. That should help you find out what keeps your phone awake and what application causes it. That way you can either remove that application or just freeze it. Search for the app using google and you should have it in the first few results
Thank you for the info, I've installed betterbatterystats so before installing a new rom/firmware hopefully I'll figure out what's eating the battery
ps by saying "close to stock" I actually might have expressed myself incorrectly, I meant I didn't want major GUI changes like e.g. the MIUI roms... I've used go launcher on all my phones/roms anyway
If there are roms out there who can improve speed/functionality/customisation even more off course I'm very open to them
cheers

Normally i would say hyperdroid but that thread has been closed try checkrom or even in the android development there is loads of roms there to try out my friend.
Foxhound seems another good bet to though.

Start with the Better Battery Stats thread and particularly partial wakelocks .
DO not flash roms that's not the problem its stuff using the phone during sleep .
Upgrade once you have made some progress with the battery . stock roms from the link posted .

that is alot..no wonder your battery gets ****ed so quickly make it so you get emails every four hours than having it on push....or delete that app and use samsung email client...basically like outlook it is...great app and does not drain battery
I have an imap account set to check every hour and an exchange account without polling (manual) so polling is not the issue
I use enhanced email because this bypasses the exchange security (pin code that pops up all the time)
I had this on my desire without issues so my guess is that it's the sync for the calendar... it was disabled on my desire but on my S2 for some reason it was enabled so switched it off and I hope this sorts the battery drain issue
cheers

So I recently did an OTA update and didn't like the battery life it left me with. I then did the unroot thin with Odin and flash back to original stock everything. My question is this....what is the stock baseband version that comes with at&t sgs2? Right now I've got I777UCKK6 while running stock android 2.3.4
On a side note....is baseband version something to worry about? Also, is the new update to 2.3.6 doing the same battery drain to everyone?

Reboot your device...it should say kh7 if you flashed back to stock. For some reason mine said "unknown" under baseband. A simple reboot cleared that.

There is a sticky thread at the top of the Development section with all the modems for our phone... you can experiment with them to see what works best for you.
If not rooted,you'll have to root again to flash. While your rooted, I'd suggest you create a backup in Cwm then try the SHOstock or UnNamed ROMs... both are bases on stock and both have fantastic battery life (much improved over stock). You'll get your current modem with both, but with either you can replace with what you want.
Okay. In the instructions it says there should be a yellow box that says 0:COM8 but mine says 0:COM4 does that matter?
Nevermind, I tried it once more and it's back to bone stock! Thank you so much for all the support!
AJ
FYI, there's nothing wrong with running KK6 baseband (modem) with KH7 firmware.
The modem and the rest of the firmware are fairly independent.
That's why modems are packaged separately from the rest of the return-to-stock package.
I never said thanks to you. I appreciate all your insight and hard work that you do.
May I ask...how does one know if they have the Android os bug?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
There is no actual Android OS "bug" - just bugs or misbehaving apps that drive AOS up by waking up the device multiple times.
If you have high drain and high AOS, you need to look through my diagnostic procedures in the Known Battery Drainers thread. If you go through them and have high wlan_rx or wlan_wake kernel wakelock counts, something wifi-related is making your device wake up. You need to run a packet capture (see battery drainers thread for info) to get more info.
Possibilities include but are not limited to:
The infamous BT-AMP bug - Packets with Ethernet protocol 0x886c once a second in the Shark for Root/Wireshark capture
Misbehaving router that spams ARP - lots of ARP packets in the capture, often once a second
Misbehaving app - network traffic arriving frequently at your device. Skype is bad news in this regard
Something on your network spamming broadcast traffic - Windows Client Backup, Dropbox LAN Sync, UPnP/DLNA SSDP traffic, etc.

TuneIn Radio is the perfect example for this bug!! If anyone wants to do an experiment. This App drives Android system, Android OS ( plus Media server) all top the Battery Usage Chart and drains the battery so fast.
I don't have tunIn radio, wish that was all it was lol. I don't know if I should try to return the phone for another one or not. I have also noticed that my Gmail has been taking forever to send email from my phone....it never used to!
Here are the screen shots of my phone after I have gotten home from work. Moderate usage nothing major. Checking Gmail, Internet browsing for a few minutes, and a few phone calls.

FIRST AND FOREMOST!
I apologize for any spamming that may have lead you here, however I have a SERIOUS problem!!!
My phone will NOT enter deep sleep. 7 hrs of light use has brought me down to 35%
I've tried 4 XLA4 base ROMs. Currently on LiL ROM. and I can't seem to find out what the problem is...
I have 83 apps installed on my phone and my facebook and twitter sync every hour. I have a weather widget doing an update ever 2 hrs and I hardly ever have my GPS turned on. This same config on non XLA4 Roms used to get between 22-28hrs of life with similar or identical usage pending the ROM.
Is it me or is it just XLA4? I've noticed I seem to be one of the few suffer issues with these ROMs. Help would be greatly appreciated.

BBS DUMP
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BxNdtOAdgVzlI4z08BKqcYR2vX_keffnhAb_QkAlWPc/edit
Battery life on XWLA4 has been sort of shoddy for me too when I left the phone sitting doing nothing. I once left my phone off the charger over night and it only went into deep sleep 78% of the time. Android OS was at 35% of usage.
I'll need to do more conclusive testing.
I just don't understand what it is...
Me neither. Didn't get it at all with either UCKH7 or XWKL1.
Well in any event I hope someone can point out the error of my ways and get this thing up and going properly.
The problem is at the top of your BBS (Android System NotificationService); it's the sole reason for not entering deep sleep. I've never seen it, so I can't speak to what it is. Maybe someone around here can identify it; otherwise, post your dump in the BBS thread for a better chance of someone being able to identify it.
EDIT: Search the BBS thread for NotificationService in the meantime. Also, google search the term with "xda" behind it, and peruse those threads.
Sent from my Galaxy SII
Not sure what's going on with yours but I was able to manage 6 1/2 hours of screen on time with LiLRoM v1. I have pics in the battery life thread in the general section as proof. I was using Entroypy's daily driver kernel but I'm not sure if that would have a huge impact or not. Your BBS dump shows that the Notification Service(Android System) is the main culprit of the battery drain. I don't know what exactly that counts as though.
Just posted in the BBS thread. hope someone can help...
Try any different kernels?
At the bottom of Siyah thread, I have a link to older versions. Some people like .7 & .9 more than newer versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19650906
It looks like that NotificationService is firing multiple repeated wakeup events... I think Siyah's suspend lock frequency is 500 MHz, which is why so much time is there.
As to why - no clue, I've never seen this happen on LA4 myself.
Well I've expirenced the same issues with multiple kernels.
So far I've tried...
Siyah
2.6.7
2.6.9
2.6.11
2.6.12

I want to say its the base but I don't get why I'd be the minority having the issues.
It seems like the problem is app based. I would suggest that you do nandroid and Titanium backups and delete all apps that could start the Notification Services. I see facebook katana in your BBS log.. that's my primary suspicion. Before you remove all notification related apps, try removing just Facebook and Facebook Messenger (if you have that installed too) and see if it helps.
That should hopefully remove this problem. If it does, then start adding those apps one by one and find the culprit. If it doesn't, then post here and we can do some differential diagnosis.
UPDATE: Another reason why I think that Facebook could be the rogue app is that in Market page for Facebook, the version number is not explicitly mentioned.. it says that the version number depends on the device. I am not an app dev but I presume that with the change in Android OS, Facebook probably needs to handle notifications differently. Now if you used TB to restore Facebook from an i777 backed up version, that could be causing the problem.
Summary
PLAN A:
1. right now you see excessive notification service wakelocks
2. uninstall facebook and messenger and see if that helps
3. IF that helps, install facebook fresh from market (that should fetch the correct Facebook version)
4. ...
PLAN B:
1. right now you see excessive notification service wakelocks
2. uninstall all notification related apps
3. reinstall them one by one

I'll do that now.
If you have apps like Facebook, its almost a necessity to download Autorun Manager. Through that you can disable those startup receivers that you can't through the interface settings on FB.
Might also help with other apps. One more time, its called Autorun Manager.

As per my post in the BBS thread:
OK I had a look at the thread you insist we post in. Have you carried out the suggestions?
Anyway, the issue seems reasonably obvious to me, but the app itself responsible isn't obvious. You're going to need to do some work to resolve this.
One of your apps is posting a notification - either a notification icon, or notification lights - that is stopping your phone going to sleep. Given that you have so many apps doing background activities, it's up to you to figure out which one it is. I would start by disabling notifications in facebook, and I think also Titanium Backup (are you doing automated app backups using TiBU?). But from experience, the app is likely to be your SMS app - for some reason, they have a bad rap for draining battery once a message is received but not read. Go SMS and Handcent both do this depending on configuration and random ROM/kernel/karma combinations.
Anyway, it's not kernel, it's a userland wakelock.
For your next BBS dump, do what we keep telling other people to do - charge the phone before going to bed, remove from charger, and leave it idle for a good number of hours. Then take a BBS dump with the view "since unplugged". Do this because there is little value trawling through a log that shows you normal work-day activities.
Cheers

Well I just disabled sync/notifications for facebook and twitter and I turned off notifications for go sms too I'll leave the phone idle for an hr and see what happens.
EDIT: I've decided the head ache just isn't worth it. I'm gonna do a full wipe and then flash UnNamed V2.2.1 and not restore anything through TiBu
It definitely has to be an app because this is an idle test of a fresh install of Shishir with Siyah 2.6.12 and Init.doh .35 Exp. Less than 1%/hour drop with twitter every 15 minutes, and google sync/backup/locations enabled.

The stats from above are actually quite tame compared to usual. It's quite often using 45 + of my cpu and usually has a higher battery usage than the display.
Can anyone offer a fix. I don't want to delete it as i find dolphin by far the best browser and I've tried most other ones.
Of the battery you have used 33% has been used by the browser .
Battery 50% in just over an hour suggests browser on for that time and other stuff draining the battery .
Better Battery Stats thread and app is where you start .

Yes, I had same issue with Dolphin browser. Lost over 20% juice in less that half hour. Couldn't find any solution though. Just to check used Stock browser for same stuff and didn't have that much drain.
Also, it caused phone heating near camera..is it same for you?

Yes. Never really noticed it before but yeh my phone is roasting around about the camera lens.
JjEgan not really sure I understand what you mean. Are you saying something else is draining my battery? I used to have bbs and that usually identified mobi.geek.tunnybrowser as draing my battery.
I put a fully charged battery into my phone not even 2 hours ago and this is what my stats are now.
Be worth a check with BBS is what i am saying as its not a common problem reported .
Its certainly never drained my battery .

Same here
if we install the Dolphin HD themes " mobi.mgeek.tunnybrowser" will be running as a background process eating up battery , otherwise you will see it as Dolphin Browser HD eating 3% of battery. I dont understand why Dolphin HD browser need to run on background even if we are not using it ?
My phone is doing exactly the same thing if I close dolphin down and use only the stock browser I have no trouble if I leave.dolphin running ie. Just hit home screen or answer a txt or call dolphin will run battery down fastest than a 2 amp charger can charge it as soon as I close dolphin usually with task manager everything is fine . For me this a new problem and it started after I installed SHOstock v1.3
get rid of dolphin..... the stock browser with lab settings on is awesome.... faster and easier to use... in my opinion
Unfortunately Dolphin is the only browser which supports xmarks and Lastpass...
I switch between PC's and phone and tablet.. would be lost without them..

Hello
I've been encountering L2_hsic and a few other related wakelocks for months (even years), ever since updating my I9100T to ICS (which I did the minute custom ICS roms hit web). As some encounter a full 100% steady wakelock solved by restarting or unplugging charger in home screen or any other accidental act that seems to get rid of it for a while, the wakelocks I encountered were hundreds, thousands and even tens of thousands of short wakelocks. They come and go all the time so no quick solution helped. It's always accompanied by 'radio-interface' wakelocks and 'RILJ' partial wakelocks. The numbers reach 100+ in less than 20 minutes, and a full battery discharge (which is not more than 15-20 hours of almost no use) can reach 10000+ wakelocks (according to BBS). Needless to say battery life is just terrible.
Things I've tried and didn't work:
1. Various ROMs, Sammy/AOKP/CM based, ICS/JB based, no change (except CM10.1 nightly, will be explained later).
2. Various kernels.
3. Various modems and RILs.
4. Various settings, freezes, wipes, restarts. Tried wiping everything, formatting emmc, installing fresh clean stock with odin.
5. Turning off wifi/data, gps, google maps/latitude updates, sync etc.
6. Taking apart the phone and disconnecting the speaker module on which the callular and wifi antennas are placed.
Nothing helped, didn't even budge the numbers of the wakelocks.
The only thing that did make a change is installing CM10.1 nightly. For some reason, CM10.1 has significantly less of these wakelocks. It reaches around 1000-2000 count in a full charge cycle (which with minimal to moderate use can hold 2 days and have some battery left).
So I assumed CM did something right that got rid of these wakelocks.
I searched around and found out the l2_hsic wakelocks are generated by a kernel file "/drivers/misc/modem_if/modem_link_device_hsic.c" which is also responsible for rpm_hsic and tx_hsic wakelocks.
From there I went to CM git and with help from their IRC channel I found the source code for their version of this file:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...rivers/misc/modem_if/modem_link_device_hsic.c
Now I'm thinking that some investigation into this file and comparison between this version, stock version and GB version (GB roms didn't have this wakelock at all, everyone complaining about it said it started with ICS and didn't go away with JB) of this exact file may give us clues about what is the cause and how to solve it.
My idea was to export CM's file into a kernel that can be installed with samsung-based ROM and hope it solves the issue.
The problem is I'm not a dev, nor do I have the time to study up on programming/android developing to do all that, and am afraid that if I try to compile it by myself my lack of knowledge will result in a damaged kernel and a bricked phone. I don't even know if it's possible to just copy a file from CM's kernel into another kernel and compile it like that, it was just an idea.
I'd be happy if a talented dev here (with which XDA was blessed) would take on this project and investigate more and further into where my limited knowledge stops me from going.
Please share your thoughts here, if you have this issue then share it here to help keep the thread alive until a solution is found. If you have anything further to add, I'll be happy to hear.
Thanks and have a nice day
Hi,
I also have the same problem on stock samsung ROM (XWLSD) with SpeedMod kernel installed.
A lot of l2_hsic wakelocks and strange battery life. I've tried to change kernels, disable GoogleMaps, etc. Nothing helped.
Strange, that problem occurs not from beginning usage this ROM, but some time after (maybe 2 weeks). No strange APK was installed...
Hope to solve this issue together.

I started having this issue on the CM11 nightly. Does anyone know a fix?
This issue has been haunting me for a while now. I never really knew that it was the mediaserver but i found out like a week ago. Basically the mediaserver ram usage extends to maximum possible (it was 120mb once) and making multitasking or even general usage of the phone unusable. Even if i open dialer and then close it right away, the home screen has to reload. The ram is simply full because of this. It doesn't matter if i listen to music, watch videos or even TOUCH the phone, it always happens after a while. When i restart the phone, the mediaserver memory goes back to normal (around 8mb). I've read somewhere that corrupt media can cause this and i can assure you that my sdcard doesn't have any. Plus the mediaserver uses some processor too. That results in stutters on the lg interface. Here is a screenshot (please note that it's 60mb on there but over time it climbs up to 100+ mb filling the whole ram)

Oh and this is a stock KK 20a
One this that helps is the Mediaserver Killer. Well.. not quite. After i kill the media server, i cannot hear anything in the earpiece while on call. This is resolved ONLY if i restart the phone (which i've been doing quite a lot lately)
(Don't tell me to factory reset my phone. I've been doing this quite a lot lately and i'm tired of backing up my apps and data)
I'd really like to find out what could be causing it. I'll provide more resources if you need them.
Edit: I found a file called external.db on my internal memory, what is it? (It's over 6mb big)
@RaawrItsTomi External.db is the database of files scanned by the mediascanner. there was also an internal.db for the internal storage I believe :silly:.
I am not sure why your mediaserver is 50-60 MB you could maybe also have some crappy apps on your phone, also if the media scanner drains alot of your battery then that could also say that you have an corrupt file and then the scanner keeps repeating till it get good scanned.
I know there was a bug with the mediaserver on 4.1.2 but it got fixed.
But 20A seems to be kitkat as far as I know LG with their Software versions. I can't tell you or this also happen to other users with the L9 since I don't own the device and didn't had Stock LG anymore since stock 4.0.4
I hope for you that other people also respond to your thread since I can't really help you with your problem, I just went passing by for a friend.

I am not sure about greenify, never used it. I always have a Slim phone only the apps I need.
Isn't there another custom stock rom modified which you could try?
