Hi, just to start i will say that i have been googling a bit before posting.
what i have:
A rooted European Galaxy S2 on stock ICS rom.
problem:
when i charge the battery full overnight and use it, the phone shuts off when the battery is 50% empty.
allright, there was some problems with the USB port thingy, so i changed the UI board to a brand new one. but that didnt help either.
allright so i rooted the phone and deleted batterystats.bin
didnt help
Then i let the phone charge fully when it was turned off.
when it reached 100% i pulled the battery for 2 minutes and put it back ind.
deleted batterystats.bin and started to drain the battery once more, but the same thing happens. dead when it reaches about 50%.
i have been trying with two batteries
the one I got with the phone, and a new one i bought 2 weeks back.
Now I'm sitting here with a phone that needs a new motherboard or what? :/
PS. Sorry for my bad english, I'm a Dane, youknowright?
btw. i attached a picture of the batterystats after i did the battery calibrate and was draining the battery.
Try factory reset if the problem is still tehre, I suggest to downgrade your system to Gingerbread.

It had the problem when i was on GB as well.
Its either a f8888 phone hardware or something is draining the battery .
Use Better Battery Stats to check drainage but this is more likely hardware .

its a hardware fault, because it turns off when it reaches 50 pct. no matter WHAT im doing..
You said that you tried 2 batteries , can you test one of them on another Galaxy S2 or not ?
if not , can you test it using Multimeter or Voltmeter ?
the batteries can not be both faulty unless you have a very bad luck
returning your S2 to the service center is the best option unless your warranty is voided or expired then you have to pay for the service.

Hello XDA,i bought my Samsung Galaxy S2,two months back,around end of november.Since then,i had a 1650 mAh battery and the XXLSJ JB leak.I thought it was normal to do that for a leaked firmware,so i switched to 4.0.4 (stock firmware,from england aka XEU).That didn't solve the problem either.I struggled for about 2 months,installing custom ROM's,Kernel's,verifying wakelocks on BBS,rooting,SetCPU,everything that i found out on google.My friends said it was the battery's fault.3 Days ago,i bought the 2000 mAh battery kit (wich comes with the 2000 mAh battery,and the expanded case).I've upgraded to 4.1.2 since it was released 7 days ago for Nordic Countries (NEE) and it still didn't fix it.A week ago,i've tried a market app called "Battery Calibration".It somewhat worked.Now,i'm on the 3rd reformat of the battery and it's still draining as before.What is happenning?May it be a hardware problem?It also gets hot on top,near the camera...
Maybe you have too many services running, maybe the reception in your area is poor, maybe you have wifi-bluetooth-gps constantly running, maybe your brighness is set the max and you play all day, maybe it's a hardware fault....
Post your battery screenshots will help alot. Post both screens plus display running time. BBS info will also help.

First of all.Everything i do,it's draining battery,wi-fi is always on when i'm at home.I chat very often when i'm at home on WhatsApp.Bluetooth and GPS is always off.Brightness is always set on Automatic and i don't play that often.I categorize my phone at about medium usage.
About BBS screenshots and Battery ones,look.
EDIT:
Right now,i'm using NeatROM Lite 4.3 with PhilZ Kernel.
That's your 2000 mAh battery?
Make it outta the box and claim warranty, go with the excuse that gets hot near the camera (which is scary) and tell them that you need a device that can hold at least 12 hours.

You don't get it.It always has been like that.The hot near the camera issue was present since 1650 mAh battery.Must say i bought the phone Second-Hand,no warranty,no nothing.
I think that ur battery is fake. Or you should restore our phone.

It was on 2.3.5 when i bought it..I don't know if it had the same problem or not..My girlfriend has a Samsung SII and she gets a 1d life outta 1650 mAh battery.I don't get it why i get less since she has no Auto-Brightness and she constantly talks with me on Whatsapp and listens to music sometimes.She also plays games,and she still gets atleast 1d battery life.
I've heard this happening to phones after water damage
If both stock and extended batteries don't do it, plus the warm spot near the camera - I suspect it to be hardware fault.
Edit: try to sell it for parts (or...) and get another phone. This probably will require to chang the main PCB.

Same problem, bro :/
Gosh, I have had this problem too as long as I have had my phone and I'm so tired of this constant charging
I haven't nuked my phone like Gastonw was suggesting but now that I know there's such a thing I probably will. I'll post my battery stats too if anyone knows what to do if the nuke doesn't work. I hope I and everybody else that has this problem finally gets the answer.
Edit: Also I'm running the samsung 4.1 update, rooted and as you can see I almost haven't used the phone today and still only got 11-12 hours of battery lifetime.

Well, I have been thinking of buying a new battery (either the stock 1650mAh or the 2000mAh) but when I was running the stock samsung 4.0.4 firmware the most battery draining process was ''google services'' or something like that so I thought there was a problem with the software and so I didn't buy a new battery. I checked was anyone else having the same problem and it seemed to be a common bug. Some people where experiencing it on 2.3 and some on 4.0 but i didn't found an answer. When I heard that the 4.1 update was out I wished that it would fix the battery draining and kinda it did because no more the ''google services'' was draining all the battery but now it's the screen (which I know it should be) but even know that the software seems to be all good, battery still drains just as fast so just buying a new battery might fix my problem... and it hopefully does.

Battery life comes with good settings.
I got lucky there, 5.4 hours is a good number. Today I'm at 33% looking at 3.5 hours screen time. If I keep my screen on from now on i'll get to 4.4 hrs for sure. Now...good screen time right? Well...I AM gonna have to CHARGE it TODAY!
The thing is to catch the drainer "in the act" with betterbatterystats and once you've done that, you're off the hook.
This is the "where's the charger era", we all need to embrace that, so when we suddenly get 2 days outta 'em we can brag & giggle.
The day will come...where we will be able to charge our devices in 15 minutes and battery will last a week.....

Please perform a factor reset. I was also having the same issue, a factory reset made everything normal.
tip - backup imp data like contacts, messages and everything from your internal memory.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
heavy usage
as i see it, you are a heavy user.
also the 4.1.2 official roms have a media scanner issue. you can search xda for the fix, but it willl just shorten the wakeup time.
best to avoid heat from the battery/phone. if it's heating up, it's probably working hard.
also check your network signal, sometimes when the signal is weak, the phone does extra work to search for a signal.
follow the previous post.. try to install a new fresh rom. make sure to wipe everything.
turn off all animations for 4.1.2
check your widgets so that they won't refresh. set it to manual refresh.
good luck!
Hello
So my GS2's battery was seriously getting crappy, and I ordered a new original battery (more expensive, but I really wanted it to work properly). Before the replacement, it was all over the place, and I think I may very well have a phone that's seriously confused about its battery options.
Thing is, after the replacement the phone isn't charging the new battery properly (AFAICT). If I'd have to venture a guess, I'd say it charges it to 33% and then it states 100% full.
So, I get just a handful of hours of regular on-time with this new battery. Sometimes the phone hard-dies when saying about 50% remaining, other times it actually says something like 2% remaining, then dies, but still awfully far from logical, considering the fresh battery replacement.
I've searched for how to calibrate this thing, and most results simply recommend the "fully deplete, then fully charge, extract, reinsert, etc." method.
However, this does nothing to help me.
I read somewhere that for some custom ROMs (Dorimanx kernel?) you could do a more "explicit" recalibration, but I'm not sure if that'd work — as I'm on ParanoidAndroid ATM, and here I don't have such option.
So... Does anyone here know of any more "legitimate" way of recalibrating? I really don't want to buy a new phone, as these days I don't see any phone I really want to buy...
TIA,
Daniel
new batteries require a few charge discharge cycles before they reach max capacity, you may need to leave it on charge for longer than the "charged" info appears.

Thanks, Sparks, but I've already done this many times. I've had the battery for a couple of months now, but I really need to figure out how to calibrate the phone so that it starts behaving "normally" with my new battery...
Let it die, juice it up while it's off, take the batt for 90 sec when it hits 100% and put it back in?

No. The whole 'calibrate the battery thing' (and the apps that claim to do it) on the S2 is Kool Aid.
There is no need to calibrate the battery

Something definitely needs calibration, and yes, of course it's not the battery itself when buying a fresh original battery does not fix one's battery problems, it must be some battery controller somewhere. I just started a new job, and my CEO has a Galaxy S3 which started having battery troubles. Like me, he replaced the battery, and like me, nothing changed.
In the meantime, my S2 died completely, so problem "solved" I kinda feel retarded for planning on buying a Note 3... Probably ought to run from Samsung devices altogether...
I have got a strange problem.
My Samsung S5830i Galaxy Ace has a battery drain of 50% per night without usage, WLAN off.
The device is rooted, and I've had an battery issue when using Link2sd with a ext2 partition (bcm.sdhc.3 kept the phone awake all time). I fixed it using ext3. This was six month ago, no problems after that.
Since last week, I got this huge battery drain. BetterBatteryStats tells me the phone is sleeping most of the time, no suspicious processes.
I tried with a battery from a friend, no result.
I factory-reset my phone, no result.
I used a ClockworkMod recovery from the time before link2sd, no result.
The battery is still draining like hell.
What else could I do instead of throwing the phone away? Please help!

It most probably will be your battery problem. How old is your battery? I know you said you tried your friend's battery, but try again with another battery for Ace. Also try using another rom. Do post the results. Hope I Helped

His Battery is not very old. And I think it would be strange it is really a battery problem, because it happens very sudden and the behaviour of the two batteries is the same.
The phone is 1,5 year old. I think about unrooting and try to make use of the guarantee or to get another rom and flash.
But if it would be a software problem, at least the recovery should overwritten the faulty settings, or not?

Once your battery gets as low as 15 to 20%, go to CWM> Advanced> Wipe Battery Stats and then charge for 3 hours without a break. See if there is any change. Follow this beautiful guide by @Venomous Viper 119 on improving the battery backup and performance of ace. Here is the link,

Hi evryone i am actually living in french so sorry for my bad English.
Anyway i am writing on this webstite because i have a problem with my honor 7.
Well i have this phone since one year and half now and i didn't have any problem with it since april 2017.
My phone use to turn off randmoly when the batterie is load over 30% and all the time when the battery is under 30%. I try many app on the playstore to calibrate the battery but each time the same issue. I also try a factory reset but nothing change. I don't know if it's software problem or the battery ? I can reboot the phone after this problem but when it started it turns off 1 min later with 5% of battery. Do you think i have to use the warranty or i can fix it by my own ? i am using the offical os.
Thanks for you help
I am having the same problem too!
U could try Accu battery, it shows the health of you battery too, it could be dead or malfunctioning.. I had a random problem that needed replacement the motherboard.. it's just stuff, and stuff break, and yes it should hold for longer but somethings just don't do as it should sorry got no fix:crying:

I would definitely say that your battery is about to die, and I would check if your garanty is still valid and then get it changed I had rooted mine and custom ROM with Xposed and then it crashed.. but because it was before my garanty ran out my service center replaced the motherboard for free, and I got an almost brand new phone back:good:
And that said, it was unlocked bootloader, rooted, custom ROM + recovery and they didn't even flinch, they just took it and fixed it:good:
Thank you for the reply but
My warranty has ended already so do you think that i should
1.replace battery
Or
2.somehow try to get motherboard replaced by third party somehow
Yeah, Accu battery says mine´s 90% of original capacity. But with problem least for half of day with moderate usage. B390 after factory reset... My last honor phone

I think you need replacement of your battery, if you can boot, even just a little, then it's not a dead motherboard. When my motherboard gave up my phone completely died, no boot, no charging, only sign of life was 2 vibrates when holding power button for over 20 sec... damn it was dead:laugh:

Most battery using: "Huawei Home", Chrome, ....
It says "Combine Use" - 17h ....but after few hours it´s less than 30%.
GPS OFF, 4G data turn on, 2 SIMS, no Wifi, Facebook and Messanger App is killed (restricted to run on background).... dont know.... I dont have time to setting up my phone over and over all day long after factory resets...

I think i also have this problem,where battery drains in one hour and phone shuts off at 30%. Phone is still in warranty, however I have read that honor only gives 6 months warranty for battery and charger. Which I don't apply for, since phone is a year old.
So the question is if it is a motherboard related problem or a battery related problem?

Hi all,
Currently my S9+ is what I believe to be having battery issues. First it would turn off when the battery was at 5%, then 10% and now 15%.
Is there a way to prevent/reset this issue or is possible the battery failing and I need to contact Samsung support?
Thanks!

Sounds like something similar to what I had with my old Nexus 6p, does it happen more often when cold? Ended up having the battery replaced so I suggest taking it to the store.
They'll probably ask you to do a factory reset etc. first
Did you ever drop your S9 in water? Though it claims to be water-resistent, it's actually not! If your warranty is still effective, you should go for a fix.
Check full battery capacity. File is located here. /sys/class/power_supply/battery/fg_fullcapnom
Thanks for that, it's showing as 3077, so that's nearly 500ma gone if the S9+ has a battery value of 3500?
Exactly. Just RMA phone, they should replace the battery.
