Hello all
So yeah I've had the phone since release and can't fault it one bit. The battery for me is standing its ground well . I usually charge the phone over night then will use it for that day then put into into plane mode over night so I can have me alarm on to wake me next morning. First few times I did this the phone displayed the battery as not being used and stayed the same % I left it the night before. This was great as I would use the remaining battery that day then start the charge that night. So basically I get 2 days out of it.
Last two nights however it has been draining some battery. About 8% over night 12am to 8:30 am . I downloaded batter battery stats off market as I used this handy app on my GS II and found a wakelock called android system wssnps?
This says 14h 37 mins at a very high % . . . .
If anyone could tell me what this is it would be great
Cheers
Bryan
I think that is the Samsung OTA / Kies updates package.
If you are rooted you might try deleting wssyncmlnps.apk from system/apps.

So I had my GS2 fully charged last night. At about 415am I played Game Dev Story for about 30mins and went to bed. I wake up this morning at around 1030 and find my phone completely dead. Obviously this freaks me out since I just got my phone and it should not be going from 100% -> 0% in 5 hours of being idle. Now maybe I didn't turn Game Dev off properly and it was running in the background? I don't know. I got this phone last Monday and this is the fastest it has died. (Even setting this one aside, I'm extremely disappointed in the battery life). Also, I plug it in to charge after I found it dead this morning and went back to sleep. Wake up 2 hours later at 12pm and see its only charged to about 40% and the phone is really hot.
Are these normal for the GS2? It didnt get hot during previous charges (atleast I didn't notice it getting hot). Also what is the average battery life for the S2 and how long does it usually take to charge from 0-100? For some reason I feel like there is something wrong with mine and I should be exchanging it but unfortunately I did root it so undoing the whole process will take some time since I'm still waiting for the jigg.
Normal charge time from zero to full 3-4 Hours via stock charger .
Excessive battery drain multiple posts on the problem .

I don't think anything is wrong with the battery. You can see the battery usage graph, and post if needed. And the device takes around 3 hrs 15 mins from 0 to 100% charge with AC charger.
Regards.
I've noticed this a lot...
Last night I went to bed and the battery life on my phone said 90%. I left the phone on and went to bed. When I got up this morning at 5:00 am and woke the phone up out of sleep mode it said 60%. I shut down the phone and rebooted and it read 80%. I can replicate this at any time. If I reboot the phone after it's been sitting a while it will read 20% higher every time. As I type this with moderate use this morning, it is at 70%
Anyone know the cause or fix?
I'm also running the latest 2.3.4 update and my phone is stock.
SMH.......... Read the forum please. You are going to get some SERIOUSLY bad feedback from posting this.

I'm downgrading to 2.3.3 because of this. That's the only fix I know.
Its a known issue & the only fix I know of is going back to 2.3.3. If its a big problem you can always sbf, but I've been running this 2.3.4 & haven't had my battery die on me. You just gotta remember average battery life is about 8-10 hours with average use, but if u use your phone more then its shorter obviously. Not a problem for me personally cuz I'm usually near somewhere I can plug my phone in if I'm sure its pretty low. Hope that helps you out

I'm not aware the "the" battery issue on 2.3.4 stock/rooted, but I guess there is one. I too notice some fluctuating from time to time, but I don't worry about it. I will say, I've gotten into the habit of rebooting after I pull the charger cord and I'm averaging with what I consider normal use, about 30 hours per charge. And I haven't seen 20% or less battery since I learned of this little trick. With that kind of life, a little battery meter drift is not on my radar.

Well, I did do some searching before I posted but didn't find a whole lot on the issue. I just got the phone on Oct. 5 and by October 9 I received the OTA update so I have no comparison for 2.3.3.
I did find the trick about rebooting after pulling the charger cord. I pulled the cord last night around 8pm and as of 1:15 pm today I am at 40%.
Also, I have noticed that system rounds the battery percentage up or down for every 5% of movement. I downloaded circle battery from the market to figure this out since it reports in 1% increments. For example 80% is reported for any values betwen 75% and 85%. If the value is 86% it reports 90%.
But none of this answers why the phone reports 60% then if I reboot it jumps to 80%.
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.
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.
I'm having very strange problem. I installed CheckROM v6 + speedmod k2-21 kernel on my phone and now my battery went crazy. Having some kind of drain when i restart the phone... Today I restarted my phone on 42% battery and when it booted up battery was on 21% and then started to rise to 22,23,24..
Anyone knows what may cause this problem? I also used BatteryCalibration app to calibrate the battery after rom flash.
Pls help!

Charge the phone 100% use the phone three days to give it time to recalibrate .
Flash a different kernel or rom .
That fails go to Better Battery Stats app and thread .

give your phone sometimes. anyway, having able to last for 20 hours is more than perfect. try ask iphone users.
i did ask few of my frens (iphone 4 users), he can't even last for half day, and need to have car charger, usb cable or pc just to prepare to charge the rubbish. lol
edit: forget to mention, they can't play game continuously on their rubbish. their battery will die in around 2 hours (i can have 5 hours continuous online game playing with s2)
btw, your so-called "bug" might be the system is trying to recalibrate itself to the nearest value with the battery level. should be a good news, better than the phone "lying" about your battery.
