Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

hey buddy sorry for the late reply..go to market and download the battery calibration app by Nema..once you installed it charge your phone fully go into the app and just follow the instructions and then you should be fully calibrated..
but download the app first
Thanks, i tried it todsy but it says root needed.
I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.
Install BetterBatteryStats from the Android Marketplace. Run it and see if there is/are any app(s) gone rogue abusing CPU power other than the display.

I have strange issue with my battery notification on phone. I flashed this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480337 and was using it for like two days and everything was super smooth, responsive and so on but than I noticed that my battery percentage stays the same until I reboot the phone. I tried installing other roms and kernels, I even relocked the bootloader and went back to stock but no help. Please help guys.. I am attaching image of my battery use here which is constant with steps where I reboot..

switch off data,sync,wifi,bluetooth etc
Flash sirkays 6.1.1 ics kernel.In which you can use your phone for 2 days
Then flash hybrid rom(2.3)--I choose this rom coz it is lite and can run very smooth even in 800mhz
Then under clock your phone to 800mhz and use conservative governor
r
Thanks but I don’t think you understood me. Even though I do have battery problems concerning its life it is not the problem I am posting here for. The problem is that my phone is unable to measure battery percentage for some reason..

Nope, it's measuring correctly I think this problem is due to your kernel
Then measure your battery percent graph after u flash sirkays kernel and hybrid rom....

Charge your phone to 100% (421)and then calibrate it....IT SHOULD WORK
maybe reflash ics firmware or change battery or take it to repair center
Just restart your phone.
r
When I plug my charger percentage remains frozen so can’t see wen it is fully charged. And when I try to calibrate it just says 0% battery spent for example when calibrating web browsing... It is as if some battery sensor burned out or something. Could that be the case?

I can’t recharge my battery via charger. I bought this phone from some guy who gave me two batteries and charger (which can recharge without phone-see picture) with it which is not original sony erricson .One battery is orignal and one is not(see picture). So until now I used that charger to charge batteries and not via my phone. So since few days my battery percentage measurement crashed and my phone is unable to read battery status..
Any suggestions please

did that problem existed before you bought the phone?
No it didn’t it just started couple of days ago.
The thing is that I can read my battery status via hard battery calibrator script which means that sensors are still operating. but I cant recharge my phone via usb and I cant reed my battery status on it (in status bar). Also my battery time is extremely poor - like 12 hours max on very little usage (about 8 hours of me sleeping included) or like 3-4 hours of heavy usage. Is there any one here with knowledge to help me? Thanks in advance

My tab's battery dischargs normaly untill 50% then drops down to 2% and i do belive that its a software problem because the tab will continue working for another 5 hours but you cant raise the brightness or use the camera :banghead:

Have you tried to wiping the battery stats while fully charged and still on AC as suggested here:

Tried, but did not help, I even tried to charge it off to the most can not, but it did not help.
It is possible that you could have over discharged your battery at some point. If calibrating and the thread mentioned above did not do the trick, you may have a damaged lithium cell. Over discharging can cause weird things to happen to batteries often leading to their failure. Or, you could simply have a faulty battery, or even worse... failing hardware.
I'm not trying to scare you, I just thought this information might be useful to this thread. I hope you get it all resolved.

I agree. It sounds like a damaged battery. Have any of you ever drained your battery completely dead? If yes and you've done so often, you most likely damaged your battery. Lithium batteries should never be completely drained.

What ICS ROM are you running? Is it the OTA update for non-rooted tabs, or are you rooted and flashed one of the custom ICS ROMS? I agree with others that it sounds like a battery issue, but knowing which ROM you are running would be helpful.
It's an official ics but from diffrent region " i dont think it matters " ,, also i dont think my battery is dead because when it goes to 2% it stays like thaypt for hours of using, but when it was normal 2% lasts for less than half an hour

I'm not sure it is related to ICS... I got the same problem with HC a few months ago

out how to this any that way solution to resolve the problem is not you? i don't want to have open up tab
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ibration&hl=en
BATTERY CALIBRATOR - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
3. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
4. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
5. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
6. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.
ENJOY! Hope this helps!
Even Google confirmed that deleting that one file has nothing to do with battery drain,its just place where phone saves battery using from apps.

Surprisingly this issue continues to be resolved by simply following this easy trick. Worked for me, hence I shared it. Worked for good many other people. I don't see the explanation for that. As long as it fixes someone's headache, it's helpful.
You should charge your phone as often as possible. That's good for the battery.

me to surely it will shorten the life of the battery quicker than waiting for the battery to nearly flat i.e ~10% or less before you do recharge it
Thanks, it`s quite easy method.

Letting Lithium Ion get to low charges then charging it will decrease battery life, you can leave them plugged in a charger and it will be fine, just like when you leave your laptop plugged in or leaving a UPS plugged in.

actually what battery calibration really do is it makes battery percentage display on status bar more "accurate".
when you flash a new rom, old battery data is not deleted so it will be inaccurate (ex: showing 52% on status bar when your battery is at 30%)
therefore, calibration doesn't improve battery life :laugh:
Ive heard of it before. keeping your battery level between 60% and 80% help prolong your battery's lifespan.

It kinda does improve your battery life, because for instance your phone is reading 10% while the phone actually have 30% then the phone may shut down anytime because it think it has low power.

Hi I am ray
I bought a new note 4 a month ago
I needed to root it badly but I cant find any proper way, so I flashed a prerooted custom rom called nameless rom v7. It is perfect in performance yet my battery charges to a maximum 87% and when it reaches 13% my device powers off...I tried calibration and clearing dalvik and reflashing rom abd buying a new battery but none had solved my problem. Please help me. My email is (but dont publish it or abuse it) wwwwwwward8 at gmail . com (since website dont allow me to post an email full) seeking help from you. And thanks in advance. And by the way I ama game hacker so if u help me get this solved I will let u chose any game 4 me 2 hack and get it as a reward
Hi.
I have used lots of roms to find out what the problem was but did not solved it.
My battery drains from 100 to 85 very very fast.
I mean 10 percent in 1 hour :crying:
No matter what kernel or rom i use.
Then again it wont go to 100 percent its like 96-97.
Is there a fix ?
I already bought a new battery and a new charger.
Same results with the charger of my wife s3 mini.
anyone have a suggestion before i trow it away and buy a note 2 ?

Its idle as i am on wifi and mobile date it both suck..
Nothing strange to see with better battery stats.
EDIT : i pulled the battery for 10 minutes and charged it with phone off.
It looks like its not losing percents now,
The only problem is why it not goes to 100 percent.
I installed the rom this morning.
Does it automaticly goes to 100 after a few charges?
And it started to drain again.
Anyone have a clue ?

Check Your Battery Stats. .. download a battery stats app and check which app is causing the most drainage. .. There was a media scanner bug sometime back. . Maybe It's That. . If It Is, There Are Fixes For It Here. Good luck :thumbup:

Try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. BBS is better but not free. I use this. i have a widget on my homescreen at all times.
You may just need to go through a full charge cycle to get it to 100%. It's just that the new ROM thinks that 100% is 97%. A couple of charges / drains will sort it.
