I'm having issue with my 4g lte. Happens randomly - my phone just discharges. Last night I had it on charger for up to 85% and I woke up this morning my phone was dead. No wifi or bluetooth on. No new apps installed. I cant find a pattern why and when is doing that. Any ideas ? is there some kind of app that can record what is happening to the sys and battery so I can review later on ?
Yes install BetterBatteryStats (available for free on the devs thread). It will show you what is keeping the phone awake since that is probably the cause of your battery being drained. Install it and let it standby for a while without touching. Update the thread with the statistics BBS gives you.
Also you should try posting questions in the Q&A forum next time
thanks and sorry
which on should I post ?
other, partial wakelocks, kernel wakelock, alarms or process ?
i have that app.. i just dont know like whats bad and whats not?? my battery seems ok but i just wish i knew how to use the app..
With no wifi on you are going to drain quick if you have spotty service. You can even go to settings, battery, and then see what is using your battery.
I also have this problem somedays I will have great battery life around 20 hours and other times I get around 12 hours, today for example my phone been of charger 2 hour about ten min of screen time and battery already at 80 percent, I do have better battery stats and have never seen a wakelock or anything like that.
so i should go under partial wakelocks and what do i look for>>??? i have mad stuff under it.. what do i look for >???

I am not an expert on the app it I believe you look for anything that says wakelock, well atleast that's what I do from my understanding a wakelock means the phone was woken up by a certain app someone please correct me if I am wrong here

I have had similar issues, even went to bed before at 50% to wake up turned off from dead battery and all my data syncing stops at night based on schedules I have set.
Few things I have noticed.
I have plugged my phone in a few times, battery light turn orange like it's charging but the battery icon not move (as if is not charging) and when I went at power it says (discharging) yet when not plugged in it just says (not plugged in) and when charging it says (charging). A simple unplug and plug fixes it but odd that it randomly happens. I hope is sw bug and not something hardware on my phone.
Also once got my phone in diag mode by mistake playing with the ## menus. When that is on the battery was about 50% of what it normally is and you never know it's on unless you see the screen on reboot. Turned it back off and all was better again.
Still have the random days it drains fast though and the random times it won't charge though light is orange.
On the right days though, it is great. I can get over a day on my normal use and that is with 5 email accounts (some push exchange and some imap) and some texting and web and light browsing.
I had the same issue for a while, I finally found out what is was. It was "Sync Internet". It was constantly running. Go to Settings >> Accounts & Sync >> Your Google Account(s) and see if "Sync Internet" has the sync icon next to the checkbox. It never stopped syncing and so it was draining my battery. I unchecked it and battery is working like a champ!
The *whole* internet??

Lol !
The only battery issues I've had with mine are when I disabled a ton of apps.
Sorry I posted that and then went to bed here's what you do:
Set it to detect 'since unplugged' and then let the phone idle for a nice amount of time to get good data. Then check under kernel wake locks and take a screen shot then just switch to partial ones and do the same. I'll look at them and try to help. I'm not an expert on it but it did help me back when I had a similar issue with my 3D.

I have tried everything. I tried various ROM's, SpeedMod kernels T27, T29, T32, and T39, and the stock ROM, and NOTHING is working! I cleared out my Dalvik and cache partitions obviously, and I caliberated the battery. Nothing is working!
I used the phone for 8 hours today, and the battery dropped to 50% in those 8 hours. I had the display on for 1 hour and 30 minutes, browsing Tapatalk and the internet. I made no phone calls at all. Besides that I listened to music for 45 minutes, but that's it. The rest of the time it was on standby in my pocket. This is running Lite'ning ROM v6.1 and Speedmod Kernal T39. However, no matter what combination of kernels and roms I try, the drain is pretty similar.
I have the stock android weather and news app set to update every 3 hours, and K9 Mail to fetch new mail every 15 minutes.
This is with Wi-Fi off, GPS off, and bluetooth off.
What could be affecting my battery so much? Is there any information I should post here from my phone so you guys could see what is causing this? I can't even use my phone for one day without the battery completely draining.
Well, you problaby already knew this, but the real life-sucker in the SGS II is definately it's screen. Get the brightness down low and make the screen timeout after 15 seconds so that you don't waste any unecessarily battery.
Can't help to much otherwise, just got my SGS II a week ago, still getting to know it myself. But hope that helps abit anyway.
There may be other apps synching in background. In my case fluent news trend to hang around. Check if every app is doing background work.

I can assure you mine is worse, drops to 50% in 6-7 hours, but as the other person has stated, the screen is the culprit, when I used the phone longer than you, I would expect worse battery life.
Gosh how I wish this phone was equipped with more energy-efficient, less bling bling screen. SAMOLED+ is only good for show-off, which I usually don't do.
Theres an app called betterbatterystats on the xda forum. Use that and see whats draining your battery, especially in the wakeloks department.
Updated Facebook? It's raping batteries so hard it should be on the 6 o'clock news tomorrow night. Or, you know, pretty much anything these guys say here.
Try to use Betterbatterystats and see partial wakelocks and cpu spy to see if you have any problem with deep sleep! Also take a look to battery usage and the percentage of Operating System Android

i definitely agree with this. i unticked the auto adjust brightness, and i set the screen brightness to the lowest value at all times (it's super amoled anyway, the screen is still visible even at the lowest settings).

Make sure you sign out of facebook chat. I had a funny feeling that the chat was keeping my phone awake. Turned the chat off and I have had excellent battery life since.

First of all I think you are wrong when you say OLED uses more power than LCD. Remember how these screens work, LCD lets light go through and is completely back-lit all the time while OLED screens emit light from pixels that are not black.
On the other hand, the real problem with SGS2, in my opinion, is the reason phone never goes to sleep. If you take a look at screenshot I attached you'll see that screen on my phone was not on all the time but battery drain continued. Also, "awake" bar is full meaning phone never got the chance to go to sleep.
I have no clue how to fix this, maybe someone with more experience can help. I use to have HTC Hero on which I could turn off "Always on" in network settings and get phone to sleep often and save battery that way.

Open up the facebook app, press on 'News' at the top left of the screen (to go to the facebook app main menu), press Chat.
At the chat screen, press the menu button on your phone, and select log out.
If you ever accidentally go into chat again it will log you back in. Just remember to always log out again. Do not use the back/cancel to get out of the chat screen.

Display drain about 1% every 4 minutes of browsing, this is in your case 22,5% .
Every 15 min email checking and the automatic update checking from other apps does the rest. There is nothing suspicious with your battery drain.

Bad apps?
I've had bad battery drain for the last week.
I've rooted, romed, unrooted, changed every setting I could. Nothing has really worked. I'm was losing between 5-10% an hour.
Then I just wiped everything and re-installed the stock 2.3.3 firmware and started re-installing apps an hour at a time.
Battery burn was going good about 1% an hour installing about 5 apps in an hour until I installed TM World Clock.
Within an hour I had a 10% battery decrease and Watchdog saying that Event/0 and Suspend were consuming the 90% of the CPU. I uninstalled...it went back to a 1% and hour battery drain for 3 hours.
Re-installed TW World Clock to see it was a fluke. Within 10 min. the phone dropped 2%. and Watchdog started sending warnings for Event/0 and Suspend again.
There might be certain apps that aren't allowing the Galaxy S2 to go into a deep sleep...explaining why the problem is so random among different owners pending on installed apps.
Guys,
Sorry to bother you with this subject again...
Before I get the Lumia 800, I heard about the Battery Issue.
Anyway, I saw that with an update this problem was solved so, I've decided to buy this to simple use.
Well, I made all update that was disponible on Zune last sunday and this problem remains the same...
Sometimes I fell the mobile phone a little bit warm as well...
Is there a way to solve that?
I have no facebook installed, my email account is set up to check email in one hour. I cant figure out how solve it. Im very disappointed because my battery go down with 8 ou 9 hours in normal use...
How to check how much charge my battery gets when it is in full charge? Do you think that if I do a hard reset it can be solved?
Informations about my device:
O.S: 7.10.8773.98
FW: 1750.0805.8773.12270
RADIO: 1.7.50.08
Many thanks for any help!
Just to say that yesterday I wiped my phone and I had no good results.
Still bad. In the diagnostic tool show average of 200mA.
I cant believe that in some screenshots, other people has average of 70~100mA ..
I must doing something wrong, but I dont know what....
I love this phone, but the battery...
i will not tell you to turn off anything that can drain battery, because I guess you already did that. But one thing that people tend to leave on is the option to "send statistics". It is a huge battery drainer, it always connects to different servers and sends off statistics, like keyboard stats., sysem stats, location stats etc. so turn them off. Oh,an WP 7.8 is already out, install it in first place, use the Navifirm method to insure you delete everything from the phone
Thanks for your tip, but mine is as you said...
I think the only way will try WP7.8.

wings, I follow yours tips and installed WP7.8.
Unfortunatelly it doesnt work.
My phone is with gps, 3g and wifi turned on and my email account is set up to check email in one hour.
My phone keeps losing 8~10% per hour with screen off. In my oppinion it is so much! My last phone (an Xperia Play) it spend 1~2% during the same time with the same configuration...
I'm really disappointed with nokia.
Is it normal in diagnostic my phone has average 170mA? I saw some videos in the internet with some guys having 80mA as average in battery test...
I already tried to wait cellphone turns off without battery, and then charge during one entire night and without success... same problem again...
Really that I'm the only one that is having this issue recently???
tks again.
Same here wid me dude... I updated it to 7.8 n now my fully charged battery in the night goes fully drained in the morning. The phone is switched off when I wake up. And also the phone gets more hot also when the phone is in standby. on WP 7.5 I used to charge my phone the next day morning but with WP7.8 i'm charging it 2-3 times day.. Is any one facing the same issue???
First of all... having WiFi turned on at all times is a batterykiller, no matter what phone you use. Also using autocheck on email kills the battery very fast, push is even worse.
So... the first I do to keep the battery for at least 24 hours is to turn of automatic backlight and set it to medium. The lightsensor drains battery more than you thing. I have WiFi turned on only when I need it. And I check my mail manually...
I have also read somewhere that if you exit the PeopleHub in facebookmode it keeps syncing in the background, and if you leave it in phonebookmode it does not.
These small tips keeps my Lumia 800 with 7.8 for 18-24 hours with Heavy texting, medium 10-15 2 minute calls and checking my mail 3-4 times a day. I did the same while on 7.5

I tried that yesterday.
The curious thing in my case is that doesnt matter if 3g, wifi, push mail are activated or not. The drain of the battery remains the same.
For example, if i disable everything from my phone, it drains 8~9% of battery with screen off, and I doing nothing with it. And, if I enable everything, it keeps the drain in 8~9% of battery. Looks like my phone doesnt into in "deep sleep", maybe...
Very curious and very frustrating thing as well.
Anyway, thanks for try help me Manneman32!

I´m really sad to hear that nothing has helped you getting the phone to last longer. For me it sounds more like some kind of hardwarefault then... and I suppose the warranty has expired?

Are you connected to xbox live? Disabling this in games hub settings is a real battery saver for me.

How do i turn off that option that you're talking about ? And what about the Navifim method ? I'm pretty new around here and i could use your help, please.
So I left wifi on all night, no big deal, phone didn't drop that much. Then I turned it off around 7 or 8 am when I woke up. Didn't touch my phone at all. I came back to the phone and it didn't turn on. When I plugged it in, the orange light kept flashing. I got into recovery and I found out it's cause of my battery. When I was finally able to boot, I looked at the battery usage and thought that it was impossible. I had gone from 60% to 0% without using the phone over a period of maybe 2 hours.
Why?! That's impossible..
Should I be concerned? I bought this phone a couple days ago and I can take it back to sprint if necessary.
I'm trying out MeanBean v1.9 right now. Is this just a bug or do you think it's my actual battery?
maybe, does it say what drained the battery? maybe even try running a scan for malware.

How do I disable wake lock?
I tried to do an experiment last night and it happened again, only this time with the Stock w Goodies rom. I left my phone on most of the night without problem and turned the data off. Then I checked my phone once at around 7 am. Then I noticed the battery dropped 20 percent within a short period of time. Once I restarted, the problem seemed to fix, but I can't rely on myself to watch my battery monitor and restart when the issue occurs. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Should I take this phone back?
EDIT:
BetterBatteryStats screen shots:
Its not the rom, I get very little to no drain from Meanbean when my phone is in standby. I will take my phone off the charger at 7:00am and not put it back on till 11;30pm with moderate usage and 6 different email addresses syncing all day long and never go below 50% on my battery. There is definitely something going on with your phones setup that is sucking the battery. It looks like you are in a very low signal area which is the biggest user of battery. Your phone is constantly trying to find a better signal. Its looks like you were on a phone call for 8 hours with a wake lock searching for signal. Are you new to Sprint? You may have a real problem if your signal is this low in your house.

No I've had sprint for years and my phone has 5/6 bars right now..
I have the same experience as cruise350. I have almost no battery drain with MeanBean when the screen is off. As I type this I've had my phone off the charger for 2 hours and I had some light use and I'm still at 100%.
Follow evo401's advice and get betterbatterystats to find which app is causing this problem for you.
As you can see on the attached photo, my phone drains a lot more battery between 23:00 and 9:00 - over 5% per hour, before Nougat it drained 5% all night
I thought it was because I set "do not disturb"for that period, but it does the same without, I did a factory reset, problem stays
I took OFF most permissions, I dont have any new apps or settings that I know
Same thing was happening to me as well. Tried factory reset several times. The thing that worked for me (at least for now) is reflashing stock rom once again via LG Bridge. Just try update error recovery.
Edit: I have an international H960a variant.

Did it, lets see how it goes tonight, thanks :good:
Mine sometimes eats 0% whole night, but sometimes it eats 20% in 3 hours at night. I have no idea what is going on
It is ridiculous, between 14:00 and 23:00 (-9h on the screenshot) it used 22% battery, and I was using the phone moderately, calls, chrome, whatsapp, SMS, etc...
From 23:00 to 08:00 it used 48%, just sitting on the bedside table second screen OFF
I didnt have Do Not Disturb, just second screen OFF
I dont know why the image doesnt show, posted again with a link instead also dont know why I cannot delete this post

Tonite just on the bedside table face down, nothing set, nor "do not disturb", nor second screen off, 55% 9 hours
BATTERY USE DETAILS only shows apps using 15%, what used the other 85%
Bad batterY?
Bad battery would drain a lot during the day too
Try this, goto settings>apps> click the 3 dot menu in the top right hand corner, reset app preferences. It helped mine, not a whole lot but it helped. Some apps will ask permission again when opened. Android System is my main battery drain.
I had an hunch, left the phone in the living room, face up, second screen on all night, it drained only 1% per hour
In the bedroom with face down, second screen off, it used 6% per hour
Wifi is the same, I use an internet radio as alarm, and it works fine, so it must be something related to signal strength, any ideas
A bad cell signal for example can add significantly to battery consumption. I.e., frequently dropping or low signal will make the phone search for other cells again and again.
Also, did you try disabling the 2nd screen via battery saving? Because if the phone lies face done, a sensor will disable it. Maybe that sensor can also add to battery drain.

Tonite I will test with "Do not disturb" and second screen OFF from 23:00 to 9:00. Then tomorrow wifi OFF in the bedroom
Please keep us posted. I'm invested in this matter myself a great deal
My battery drain is rather constant though. Very strange that it's so inconsistent with your device.

I work in IT, time to put my experience to service
With "Do not disturb" and second screen OFF from 23:00 to 9:00 it used less than 1% per hour, as it should :good:

Thanks for letting us know! The more I read about this, the more confused I get -_-
What you could also try is setting up some apps that can track down wakelocks, e.g. Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector. Might be that there is some services running that sometimes keep your phone from sleeping.
If it works properly you seem to get pretty decent ratings with your device though!

I dont believe the problem is with WIFI, but I have to test everything, to be sure what is the problem, at the moment I pend to something to do with network access, we will know soon
Well, tonite, in the bedroom, 5% per hour again, it is not WIFI, "Do not disturb" nor second screen for sure
The bedroom is next to the living-room, both have windows facing south, only a thin interior wall separating them, so it doesnt make sense that the network signal would be different enough to use that much battery
On the other hand, I noticed yesterday that location was ON, I always have it OFF, so I reset to OFF for last night. This morning set it ON again, and it started using less battery, so tonite I will test with location ON :fingers-crossed:
Dude i had battery saving on all the time and it eat few % at night. Now i turned power saving off and it eat 0% battery in sleep lol
I'm not exactly sure what is causing it to drain like this. I'm assuming it's not supposed to be this bad otherwise nobody would be using it.
Strange. ..
No bother here, AOD I have no use for especially with extra battery drain.
It can't be the AOD. I've been playing around with this since your post yesterday. I've been unplugged since before 6am and it is now after 1pm here. Battery usage is saying I've been unplugged for over 7.5 hours. In that time, I've used 15% with 7% in the last three hours. Since then, I've had AOD on, watched a few youtube videos, listened to music from the SD card for about an hour, checked email and texts, checked G+ a couple of times, and scrolled through Instagram. Phone idle is reading 4% usage, Android OD is 2%, Google Services 2%, Screen 2%, Music 1%, Android System 1%, Youtube 1%. Which leaves a few mystery processes that didn't register enough to warrant a 1%.
Hi,
Make sure in aod settings that brighter display is not enabled. I agree with the previous post that since having the phone for a week and a half that aod is very minimal on battery usage. Personally I think it is a great feature since there is no led to show missed text or emails. I just glance at the screen to see if I missed any without having to unlock the phone.
Thanks,
Bryan
AOD might take 10% over 8 hrs at most. You def got something else happening.

I'm not sure what's eating it up then. I have wifi enabled but I don't think that should cause so much discharge.
Can you try the test again tonight in airplane mode? That will give a more accurate result.

I'm not sure what's eating it up then. I have wifi enabled but I don't think that should cause so much discharge.

Maybe try to turn off anything that syncs and test again? Im thinking Google auto syncs and the like.
phone idle 39% then second is android OS at 31%
39%? You definitely need to look into what else is running because I can tell you it isn't AOD. I get about 1%-ish per hour for phone idle.

Do you recommend something? Nothing tells me in detail to what is causing the discharge. My phone is not rooted and I don't really plan on doing it. Now it's saying idle 55% and Android OS 41%
No idea what to tell you to look at. I just know that I'm running AOD my phone sips 1% of battery over an hour's time if I leave it alone. There's something else going on with your phone when it idles.
Personally, I'd do a master reset ... if it continues - and not associated with an app - trade that sucker in for a new one.
Okay so this may sound odd and I can't officially say it's related but I disabled google's location history on my old phone and so far there's a noticeable difference. I will test it at night when I go to sleep. Usually by the morning 30% of the batter is drained.
Did you try to disable all google syncing?
This is really weird. I just checked my phone and I've had it off of a charger for the past 9 hours. I'm only down 10% battery and only 3% phone idle battery usage. I checked my google location history and that's turned on as expected.

So I left it the same way I normally would over night and this time it drained 9% instead of the usual 30%. Although the usage still says 41% on idle. I don' t know what's going on. I may have to do a factory reset as suggested by someone else
I noticed something weird. If you've got sync on for all of Google services but have each app (Like Drive, Etc) setup to update on Wi-Fi only, it might keep it attempting to sync forever. I went into each individual app and changed to update over Wi-Fi and data. Then the sync completed. Not sure if this is relevant but I thought it worth looking into if you've got sync on.
