Let it run for awhile then check to see if you have any kernel wake locks. If so, look under partial wake locks and handle the problem as necessary.

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.

Is ot the same page which says xdadeveloperedition.apk?
If not brother provide me the link here.
I am getting some strange battery behaviour.
My device will turn itself fully off when sleeping about once a day. The power use graph often has strange jumps in it as well.
I've tried resetting battery stats but it's not made a difference.
Any ideas what could be causing it or how to fix it?
I've been having the same issue for the past few days. I've also been having a good amount of crashes. I am thinking about starting completely over: Odin back to 3.2, reinstalling CWM, and then trying the nightlies again. If that doesn't make it more stable, I may try Task 14 (HC).

Have you ever uv your device? It sounds like sleep of death.
And
If you're rooted download better battery stats from xda applications section and cpu spy from the play store to see your wakelocks and if your device is deep sleeping. Then post your bbs dump here

Well first, I would not recommend Juice Defender. I have heard that it causes the batter to drain more.
Secondly, the stats are only for not even 3 hrs. If you want a proper reading of what is draining battery it needs to be longer, if possible.
EDIT: What rom/kernel are you running? And did you do a full wipe when you flashed them?

I need an app that turns the wi-fi off when i'm not using it as I find wi-fi being creates a big battery drain. JuiceDefender has served me well for that purpose for years. Any other apps you can recommend for automatically turning off the connections?

Unfortunately 3 hours was the longest I could get before it turned itself off and the stats were lost.

I was running CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI, then after a week switched to [ICS]Ganbarou GT-P7500/7501/7510/7511 CM9, and I am now as of yesterday on [JB][AOSP][ALPHA] Android 4.1.1 - Jelly Bean - [GT-P7510], full wipe as usual for them all, bar JellyBean where I had to return to stock first.
I've had the same power problem on them all, but i've noticed i've managed a 10hr stretch on JellyBean, so stats are attached.
Problem fixed.
I installed the Jelly Bean alpha, but it was still happening, so I drained the battery completely, then charged it fully, and that fixed the problem.
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.

Thanks for the answer.
I removed my sd card now and see if it will help.
Thanks for the answer for the 100 percent :good::good:
Solved!
I flashed the original rom with a different version of odin then i used before.
Its seems to be very stable now the battery.
The only problem is i dont want to flash custom rom because im affraid it will start again!
Thanks for thinking with me guyz ! :good:
Anyone else experiencing this?
My old one is fine but the replacement is loosing battery very quickly. It went 100% to 80% sitting idle in just 5h with no background apps running.
I tried reboot and cache wipe. Also tried disabling apps. Still draining quick.

Nope not installed. I even tried factory reset and disabling preinstalled oculus services.
I don't get it. Few days ago the battery was phenomenal. I seriously got well over 8h sot. Now it's draining away noticeable faster.

Hi.
U might want to install BBS to check for any offending apps/settings that might drain yr battery.
Mine is actually opposite. My old one had a severe battery drain overnight (around 15-20%) but my new one only drains like 7%
Never understood why but my guess is the battery itself
Could it be a LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or other issue? Where I'm located my LTE signal varies and I tend to notice a difference in the battery life.

Not sure what happened but the battery drain is better now. I didn't change anything so not sure. Maybe it had something to do with the signal / radio.

Lte does drain more than Wi-Fi usually.. i get drain 2 percent in 5 to 6 hours on Wi-Fi maybe one or 2 more percent on lte

I get 10% drain in about 7.5 hours when attached to Wi-Fi.

You can't get stable battery result all the time with Android, esp Samsung. Normally my Note7 perform good but somedays it is quite bad

I've never fully charged my phone the first time I got it (the 8hours charging).
Should I do it now? since I've started to experience battery drain with the 7.1.1 update.
I also asked the same question once. They told me it's no problem, but do a calibration just in case. If your battery still drains, you are doomed. I don't know why but some of us are expleriencing these weird drains that cannot be fixed while others get great battery life. Sadly I don't have much time to look into it

The past 2 days, I've let it to go under 20% then charged to the 100%

Just download a "battery calibration" app and follow the instructions. Also, I recommend not to let the battery fall below 20% and not to charge above 85% (Don't leave overnight ) But I think you already know that,
