OK, I've searched for information about this and found little, so if there is a thread already please point me to it.
My battery life has been terrible of late. According to my phone, WiFi is what is pulling the most battery (about 56%). I never really had this problem before switching ROMs. Before I had the problem, I was running z's FreeXperia 2.2 ROM and could get two-three days of battery life without turning WiFi off. Now I am running Wolf's V6 and have to charge my phone every night to keep it from dying. I've tried the battery calibration app, wiping battery stats, and the battery life guide. This problem has occurred with all my 2.3 ROMs that I've flashed, so I know it's not the ROM itself. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm thinking I will use PC Companion to repair back to 2.1 then flash back to 2.3. My hope is something messed with WiFi during previous flash. Anyway, I thought I'd check here before I went flashing my phone to death again.
Also, I know someone will say 'just turn off WiFi,' but I don't have unlimited data (thanks AT&T) so I keep my WiFi on so I don't run up my data usage.
Which kernel ru using for wolfs Rom the stock or custom ...i think stock kernel gives a better battery life compared to the custom...and which all kernel did u try for his Rom

I'm running the stock kernel. I've figured out that WiFi isn't the problem. I switched WiFi to be turn off when phone shuts down and that helped, but it's still terrible battery life. I had it fully charged last night before I went to bed. I used it lightly before going to sleep and woke up this morning at 81%. No reason the phone should be draining that quickly. Now cell standby is 39% of battery usage and phone idle is 32% of usage. WiFi is down to 20% with new setting. I guess I need to learn how to do screenshots.
Right now I'm thinking something must not have happened correctly when I flashed the baseband/kernel, because I've tried every piece of advice on this forum. Will reflash back to stock and start there. Will report back to say if that helped.
I have the same issue but right after installing fb 2.0, before that it was awesome
Just an update on the "problem." I flashed back to 2.1 then flashed Wolfbreak v6 twice to try and solve the problem. I also didnt do a full restore on one flash hoping to figure something out. Finally, after having my phone freak out on me, I decided to flash the stock x10a 2.3 firmware. Battery life is back to pre-wolfbreak levels. Wondering if the whole x10i vs. x10a is causing a problem as wolfbreak's rom is for the "i" and I have an "a"
Running FPS uncap on stock rom and it performs well for me. Satisfied for now...until ICS rom
Hello
I am experiencing high battery usage on my Galaxy s2, and notably since I went on CM9 a few days ago. In Idle mode, it does not seem particularly terrible (I lose c. 1%/hour, while having 3g on all the time and 4 acc. on sync/exchange). I am particularly losing under usage. During the day I lost 10% by only listening musing for less than 1 hour. Android OS is high (as much as screen). Let me know if I can conduct any particular test to understand the issue.
I have not flash Kernel, I heard flashing Siyah might help ? Is it compatible with CM 9, and which precaution should I take doing this (have never flashed Kernel before).
Thanks for your help
If anyone has an idea I need it deeply as my battery issues are worsening... I'm enclosing a snapshot of the battery page
1% per hour, 3g and sync on? Count yourself lucky man that's good!

hi,
my phone is Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i), recently i've unlocked the BL and begin installing some custom roms. my first custom rom is Super JB v6 with nAa kernel, it worked flawlessly, but strange, if the battery still has 15% or bit lower, it suddenly down to 1%! and my phone goes off less than 1 minutes later.
i think it has rom/kernel problem, so i changed to some roms & kernels, from flawless ICS, xNXT until now im using MIUI Life. bad luck, it GETTING WORSE! now if my phone still has 80% battery life, it goes 1%!. i think its battery problem, but after 80% to 1% shutted down, i turned on again, and going to CWM recovery. i'm doing nothing here unless to keep my screen on for checking if it actually battery problem, it should shut down for a seconds. but i've waiting until about an half hour, my phone still ON.
WTF is the problem? is my phone really bricked?
P.S. clearing battery stats don't works, and i believe that was just myth.
any answer will be appreciated. thanks
Reflash to Stock FTF and then flash a ROM ...Try being on Stock ROM for a few days IMO and check if it persists ...Get a new battery and check it ...It more looks like a faulty sensor imo ...
Am I right?
Is it possible (if unlocked propertly) to brick phone? I had never briked... But had mano bootloops and etc... But after flashing everything right all problems are solved. Am I missing something?

It's very possible to brick device but it's pretty damn difficult to do it !!

confirmed, its Battery problem. i bought new one, and now works like charm. Thanks all for trying to help me
Two weeks ago I flashed 'Stock JellyBean 4.1.2 V7 ULTRALIGHT' from DevSwift1 on my girlfriend's Xperia U. The phone was finally running smoothly. However the battery drain is bugging her. Her phone is draining a lot of battery during the day while she is not using her phone a lot, her battery can't even hold out for a day.
Is there anyone else with the same problem? What could be the cause of this problem? How should I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Ok..so first get your phone's battery percent to 10%(or even lower) after that switch off your phone..and then charge it to 100%..do this 3-4 Times (this method fixed this same problem for me)...if it didn't work...it could be a kernel problem or something like that. So try to flash another Rom..
