I've checked with Battery Monitor Widget and my phone is draining around 86ma but apparently it should be around 2-10ma.
I think I've found the culprit, which is lack of signal/no data connection but in my house I'm ALWAYS in a 3G area with FULL coverage, so I don't understand
I'm using CheckROM V6 with modem XXKI4. Could it be the modem? Oh and the kernel is Siyah 2.6.13
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, try a different modem and update your Kernel. The latest Siyah kernel version is 3.3.2

isn't 3.3.2 for ICS?
Yes, it is.
So don't flash it.

So maybe upgrade to ICS, flash another modem and update kernel?
I think it is the best way.

I'm sure ICS drains more battery, does it not?
battery usage/drain differs from phone to phone.. Each phone is customised by the user with different settings etc.. For me ICS gives a better battery life. I have tried Siyah kernel, Fluxi kernel and CM9 kernel. And I get the best battery life with CM9 kernel.
ics
Ics is less battery discharging when using wifi or 3g
But for other things like web browser, gaming
It diffrent from each user, some users are more
Comfortable with the battery life others not
But overall its alot better exprience

Hello,
I have a SGS2 running CheckROM 3.1.1 (http://checkrom.com/threads/checkrom-revolutionhd-v3-1-1-xwkj3-rock-stable.208/) and trying the SiyahKernel 2.2p (http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2011/11/29/siyahkernel-v2-2p/).
Since a few days... I think it started when I've installed the SiyahKernel from 2.1.1 to 2.2i and then 2.2p... I notice the modem (the Internet connection via my Carrier) goes slower or drops more often.
Also, sometimes, when I reboot the phone, I don't get Internet service or I get service for a few minutes and then drops.
I attach a screencapture of what I have when the connection drops.
So my question is: Could the Kernel affect the MODEM?
Strange? Help?
Not really unless there is something wrong with the kernel .

Considering that SiyahKernel is one of the most popular Kernel...
There is not something wrong in the Kernel.
The problem is my Carrier.

Generally, the kernel has more interaction and direct effect on WiFi than it does the radio.

So... You are saying that could be a relationship? Small, but something?
It's more than likely the kernel. The modem type you use has a negligible effect on battery life.

Just as JJ mentioned above, not unless there's something wrong with the kernel. The thing to remember when flashing a new kernel is to clear out all the old junk from the previous kernel first.
There's script here to do it, which is a good idea to flash via cwm recovery first.
At the very least, you should manually clear cache and Dalvik.
Is this the mentioned script?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13224453
Hi,
Im looking for a ROM which uses less battery and has good performance. So far i've got VillainROM and WajkIUI. I could'nt find the 2.3.6 version of VillianROM and i think its not out yet. My SGSII is stock 2.3.6.
Also, i read somewhere that there is a 'counter' for custom roms and once the counter goes up, you lose warranty. Is that true?
you will get a best perform rom and batt friendly if you join to it a good kernel and modem but I suggest you checkroom v4 wish is EXCELLENT without too much tweak and removing all the samsung junk so you can still download it again with an app that cam when you flash the rom
and actually I'm on syiah 2.5 gt+KL1 modem and very fine at the moment no battery drain for nothing and everything is smooth as butter
if you read carefully you will not brick your phone and everything is reversible to 100% stock phone actually sue no worry for warranty
there is a counter if you flash an insecure kernel or rom but you can reset with a ''micro jig'' that you can buy on ebay for less than 4$
and with the new clockwork mod app you can bypass the counter by the way and you save the time to connect to the computer and flashing with odin ...

Sorry, Im a noob to all this. What do you think is the best kernel and modem for my rom? I downloaded and flashed XWKK5 and the kernel is
[email protected]#2. Dont know how to find the modem lol sorry
you just have to download any kernel from this site there are few very good !
the kernel you have on it is a stock kernel
you have to follow the direction if you want to root(install cf-root)that match your version, make a backup and download titanium backup (verrrrry good app)
siyah 2.5 gt (the one I use)
speedmod (I used it very good batt life but feel not as stable as siyah) and you are a gunea pig with this one
DK very good based on siyah kernel with a bit better battery life maybe
you have to match your current version wish is kk5
for the modem is the base band in phone info and its should be KI4 at the end if I'm ok or KI3

can not find my way personally.
Sorry for my bad english.
Trythis rom.Its updated cm7.2 and flash the old baseband rom.
Thanks for you answer.
So a little question i should use 0.32 or 0.35?

Well I can tell you already,using any .35 kernel is going to kill your battery...its main objective is performance and speed where else .32 kernel is tailored towards battery with some performance...
Have you tried updating your kernel using 6.6.1 because im getting good battery life using 6.6.1
Bit if you wish to remain with .35 kernels I would recommend a-series 7.2-kang
I sometimes had connection problems using 7.2 so I switched back to 6.6.1

adfad666's CM7.2.0-RC0 Ax .35 gave me terrible screen lag and battery performance. My batter was drained to 50% in just 9 hours without using the phone.
adfad666's CM7.2.0-RC0 A8 .32 with Goldenleaf kernel drained my battery by 10% after 9 hours + WIFI was on an running. The ADW interface also is not as sluggish.

It's better to flash a another kernel? for better performance and battery life?
Base Band version :
V07u-000-000-MAR-23-2009 is the old baseband?

That is just a bogus string hardcoded in CM7. It will show that no matter which baseband you actually have.

New SG2
Home home, it was running 2.3, did a OTA check, it said 2.6 was available. Didnt do it, researched on here first. Noticed alot of battery issues with it.
Rooted with superoneclick.
Flashed Sihyah kernel with odin
Flashed STOShock
Flashed ICS Theme
Charged to 100%, wiped battery stats
Now its my first day running the phone. The battery is really sucking right now. Its been dropping like 1-3% just when i reboot the phone. Seems to drop about 5-10% an hour of the phone doing nothing/turning screen on for 1-3 minutes a couple times to check notifications every hour. I checked wake locks etc, nothing is holding it up.
Now i noticed the version of the system is UCK6 and the kernel is 2.6. Dont these versions have problems?
Is there any other suggests Kernels or roms to flash? I'll even goto a stock rom if its battery life and performance is near the top for all roms. All i really care about is a solid stable long lasting phone with a ics theme and having root.
Perhaps the crappy battery could be from this being my first charge too and the battery not going through any charge/drain cycles yet?
there is no version 2.6 for android....
kernel version and android version are not the same thing. 2.6.x kernel is normal for EVERY version of gingerbread.
what you need to do is have a look at the threads, specifically one called [REF] Known identified battery drainers and check at what apps are eating up your battery.
Doh, what i meant was 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 i believe. And i followed that thread, there are no wakelocks keeping the phone up.
Maybe a better question is. Should i be running UCK7 and not UCK6? Im reading it has some wifi bug that drains down and i use wifi alot
Im thinking of maybe going stock. As long as i can be ics themed.

shostock is a great rom, i have had excellent battery life.
try unnamed 1.3.2 and see if it works out better for you.
Alright ill give that a try i suppose.
Does it matter that im running the latest Siyha kernel? I dont have to reflash any kind of different kernel do i?

a kernel will be included with the rom.
you can flash any kernel you like, but it could be whats causing your battery issues.
I see, i thought you had to flash a custom kernel first before flashing a rom. Because on the SHOstock page for installation it said "You must be running a kernel with CWM."
So i thought i needed to flash a kernel first.
But anyway, if roms include kernels, which im guessing the rom is optimized specifically for that kernel thats included. Whats the point of having them seperate to flash? So you can run a different kernel for some reason after you flash a rom thats using a different one?

You only need the kernel beforehand for CWM. The mentioned roms have kernels included in their package, so it'll be changed upon flash. After flashing the rom, you then have the choice to change to the kernel of your liking. The kernel included is typically the developer's choice for what they think is the best for their rom (perhaps PirateGhost will chime in on this part). Your experience may vary though, which is why you might change to something else.
Gotcha, totally understand. I looked around trying to find a thread that explained the different Base versions.
UCKK6
UCKH7
GWK74, etc,
Im trying to understand the order of oldest to newest release, and what the differences are.
Also, im guessing these bases are official samsung coded items right?

Too subjective to say - depends on your usage and the kernel.
Custom kernels can be tweaked more than stock kernels - some tweak for performance, some for battery.
Never used hyperdroid, so I can't compare. On my ROM (see sig) I have Redpill kernel. I compared it once against my stock backup, and got about 75 minutes more battery. But it was hardly a scientific test.
Just flash a couple of stock ROMs and find out how battery life is for your setup/usage.
Generally speaking the latest stock is best .
Generally speaking custom roms are better battery life
Generally speaking battery life is a factor of user and the apps and settings on the phone coupled with usage .
Better battery stats and wakelocks are the starting point .

Then go to Samfirmware & choose whatever firmware for whatever region/carrier you want. You can't search yourself why exactly ? (I suspect laziness has a bit to do with it).

If you're looking for something stable, fast, no FCs(if you install it correctly ), no orange triangle when you boot your phone(this is not the most relevant because there is an app to remove it, but it was a nice surprise the first time I booted the phone), I would recommend this one.
Hope this helps.
