Hey guys
So last night my phone was at around 90% battery before I put it to sleep for the night. I have a habit of hitting ATK every time I turn the phone off, so that's exactly what I did.
No wifi, bluetooth, GPS were on.
I wake up this morning to the phone being completely dead...I start it up and it has 1% battery left.

Also, is "Wifi Sharing" aka tethering? This is weird because I have never even configured this feature, let alone turn it on and do not want it on for risk of being charged!
Thanks,
Elliott
What firmware version? (settings > about phone, post android version, Kernel version and build number)
As in the older versions the Wi-Fi sharing feature has a habit of sucking battery.
Also you shouldn't use ATK's, they do more harm than good on modern high memory devices.
As @veyka says, avoid using ATK, download BetterBatteryStats and look for any wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake during the night.
Thanks guys I'll stop using it.
It's 2.3.3
Kernel version:
2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789
[email protected] #2
Build number:
GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
There hasn't been any updates for my phone yet...(Bell) and I don't plan on putting a different ROM on my phone.
Is there another app like BetterBatteryStats? I don't really buy apps.
veyka: why would Wifi sharing even be on on my phone? I have never used it and I seriously hope it's not on because I don't want to get charged for tethering :s

See the link in my sig for BBS, theres an XDA edition.
No its not on, its just running in the background draining battery (Bug in the program in older 2.3.3 roms). Or at least it looks like it is. Its a part of the rom, it comes on all SGS2 phones as standard, you shouldn't be being charged.
The only way to freeze/stop the app is to root, and if you want todo that or not is upto you. But use BBS to check first.
Thanks I will use it tonight to see. Are there any special settings I need to set to get it to read what's causing the drain?
This is the first time this has happened so obviously something must have changed which caused a major battery drain.

Sometimes the fuel gauge chip gets confused after doing something that uses a lot of juice between reboots, like flashing zips (After all battery status is just an estimate), it will correct itself over time, this on the otherhand is drain due to buggy app.
Okay guys here it is:
http://pastebin.com/HU3bys2j
I'm not sure this will be much help to me, though...because battery usage was back to normal today...~70% battery life after sitting the whole night...kind of **** but it is what it is.
First of all update your ROM, you're still using 2.3.3, in some 2.3.3 ROM's Wifi sharing bug was present, update it to 2.3.6, Wifi sharing bug will be gone for sure.
Now about your Wakelocks there is not much there other than some Chat service, in Kernel Wakelocks there is dormancy present, so disable it, disabling Fast Dormancy helped a lot of people, it should help you too.

Thanks.
I'd rather wait for an OTA update or an official update to update my phone...
I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?
when signal is weak, device try to get good signal. I think that is why your bettery has gone.

You may be waiting a LONG time... There is no harm and very little risk using a firmware from Intratech's Official i9100 Firmwares thread. I believe the firmwares in post #2 are from Samsung, and as far as I know the only modification Intratech does is replace the bootloader with one that can be reset using a USB jig.
I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?

From what I understand, fast dormancy causes the connection to drop from HSPA/HSPA+ to 3G if you have NOT been using something to keep an active flow of data under a very small amount of time. So in other words, if you're not loading a web page, or streaming music, and data is generally not flowing to your phone, it will drop the connection to 3G in a few seconds. With fast dormancy turned OFF, it will stay with an HSPA/HSPA+ connection for longer.
There are pros and cons to both sides. You might save a little bit of battery with fast dormancy turned on, but I've found it slows down your online experience, as it takes a few seconds for it to negotiate from 3G back to HSPA/HSPA+.
Hope that makes sense.

Kies sucks. You have to wait for Samsung to update their databases to say your phone in your region has an upgrade (I got tired of waiting after 6 months of being on 2.3.3), and they dictate what version you upgrade to; not always to the latest version.
Check out Intratech's thread I linked above. There are instructions in post 1, official firmwares from Samsung in post 2.
I see.
But how do I know which firmware to download? It's all so confusing...
factory reset and monitor apps installed-simplest way to see what's wrong. If that doesn't help, its gotta be your battery. Also, kill wifi sharing if you're rooted.
Hi
Had a similar prob w/batt drain till rooted and install app called autostarts which basically disabled unnecessary apps from restarting.
Hope that helps.

Hey guys. I've read and learned a lot from XDA, but there are some things I can't really understand or test by myself. So, I'm experiencing some trouble right now, and I need your help.
So, I've been testing roms since I bought my GS2. Almost 2 years later, my battery lasts 4 hours. I used to think the problem was the battery, so I bought a brand new one (sammy brand).
Well, it also lasts 4 hours, with CM10.1
So, I tried installing DorimanX kernel. The battery lasts longer now (not much)
I also searched a lot about Modems, and I read somewhere that changing modems would make the battery last longer. But I can't really understand why. Can someone help me? I'm really lost, I can't put everything together and understand this thing.
Please, help me answer some questions.
tl;dr
1- What is the best Modem out there? Can I install it using CM10.1, or is the modem bind to a ROM?
2- Why the battery won't last longer as the Android upgrades? My brother's GS3 (stock JB) saves much more battery than mine GS2.
3- What is the rom that saves most battery out there? As CM improves, the battery drains faster. Should I go back to stock? Does stock ROMs cosume less battery?
Thanks in advance.
(sorry about my poor english)

1. as far as i know using specific modem depends on the region & network. changing modem sometimes solves your problem, sometimes not. you need to try which suites.
2. install cpu spy, better battery stats and gsam battery monitor. check whether your device is going to deep sleep or not. if not see which app/process is consuming too much battery. 1- try callibrating the battery and then monitor it. 2-if that does not fix, enable aeroplane mode, then power off, power on after couple of seconds and disable aeroplane mode. monitor the battery. 3-if that does not fix check the battery stats log and post it in BBS thread so that some expert may analyze the log and provide you with feedback. make sure for each solution you give ample of time to monitor in order to narrow down the problem.
3. you need to try different ROMs one by one and use it for some time to know which suites your better on your need.

1. Modems are location dependant, so try to find the stock modem or one for the carrier you're with.
2. Battery depends on a lot of things. The apps you use, screen time, wake locks, signal strength, size of the battery, os version, how recently you flashed something, how many email accounts are syncing, apps that sync.. The list could go on forever.
3. As stated above, cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping and better battery stats to check the wake locks. If you flashed something recently give it at least 3 battery cycles before judging the battery life. You can also try to underclock your device if you are rooted and have a rom-kernel combination that allows it

There is an issue on JB that enables the media scanner nonstop. It has been draining battery like crazy. In some cases it drains 2% per MINUTE.
In my situation, I think that it's not my problem.
I'll check all your tips and give a feedback later.
Thank you very much!

I've got the results of the apps running
App usage -> 72% (50% is Kernel)
Cpu -> 48% 200 MHz and 39% on Deep Sleep
Partial Wakelocks -> NetworkLocationLocator (45min), etc
Kernel Wakelocks -> vbus_present (7h), PowerManagerService (3h), Multipdp (1h25min), etc
So, what are your suggestions? Should I downgrade to stock rom with siyah kernel?
Nowadays, I'm focusing battery. I want it to last a full day with moderate use. Today I didn't use the phone (at all) and it last 12h, with 20% remaining.

Hi guys!
I usually use a 4.3 rom because of this issue but every now and then I feel like flashing a 4.4 rom just to see if it it would go away.
So on every 4.4 rom i used i got crazy 3g related wakelocks. Is anybody experiencing a similar problem? Here is a photo of BBS:

Thanks to it I've got ****ty battery life (14h tops). I have also tried disabling fast dormancy with this i9300 market app, but it didn't seem to help.
Is there anything I can do?
1. How old your battery is?
2. How much battery life you used to get on 4.3 with similar usage?
3. Which kk ROM you have tried?
4. What was the SOT when you took this screenshot?
1. I guess it's maybe 1,5 years old. I don't expect miracles, but battery time now is patethic.
2. I could reach like two times more, 25h from 100% to 0% with 2h SOT.
3. CM11, SlimKat, and now I am using PAC.
4. I don't remember exactly, but 1,5h tops
Hmm.. looking at your information i can pinpoint it to the 3g wakelock only.
I am finding this on github-
svnet-dormancy / multipdp
Author(s): sven, credits to Entropy512 @xda-dev
Ranking: n/a
Speaking Name: svnet-dormancy / multipdp (those are synonyms, depending on android version)
Rationale: svnet-dormancy is a kernel wakelock related to cell data transfers - Fast dormancy or not, you get a 6 second wakelock any time the radio transfers data
Know actions: Change the duration of the wakelock (use at your own risk). Reduce the wakelock by reducing the amount / number of data traffic requests
Known conditions of occurence:
Caused by data traffic
I am unaware of a solution for this. Maybe someone else will be able to throw more light on this. hang in there.
I'm having exactly the same problem as you, those 3 wakelocks(multipdp, secril_fd and l2_hsic) are killing me. I tried to change ROMs, kernels, radios, but couldn't get rid of them.I've done a lot of research, but didn't come up with the solution for this. I even tried with neatrom, jb version, which is closest to stock, and I have those wakelocks there too.
Any luck?
Hi sheo,
Did you found the root of this problem?
I have the same situation, all kitkat roms I've tried so far (including CM, OMNI, SlimKat and lots which I don't remember anymore) have this wakelock problem.
Some users at the better battery status have tried to help me, but all they suggest is to turn my smartphone in a dumbphone by disabling/uninstalling everything that makes sense to have in a smartphone!
So, (sarcasm=ON) without removing, facebook, google play services, google plus, disconnecting from wifi, going to 2G and dimming my display darker than a black hole, (sarcasm=OFF) were you able to use KitKat on your I9100?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:

I just switched back to stock rom from my carrier (Brazil Vivo), as there is no wakelock but it is killing me with slowdowns, glitches, bugs... And that sense of using a 2011 (amazing) phone!
I'm just preparing to install SlimSaber Reborn and came to this threat to check for some hope.

Hey everyone,
The battery life on my S9+ seems extremely mediocre. After not even 2 hours of SOT I am left with less then 25% battery. Also, Google seems to be using the most battery.

Is this a recognizable and fixable problem or should I send it back?
Thanks for your help!
That could be due to not-so-optimized software.
My device is still stuck on the January update, so I'd guess that there will be an update soon.
Future updates might very well fix / improve the SoT, so it's basically down to: do you want to wait for updates or are you willing to use custom roms down the line?
If you answered "no" to both, then feel free to return it and get a different device.

You can pretty much be confident it'll be a software issue and nothing to do with hardware. There will be fixes and optimizations coming. Naturally the battery burns down a lot faster in the first few days.

I'm now on 2 percent after 2 hours and 10 minutes SOT. Surely this must be more than unoptimized software? My S8+ lasted way longer and software wise it seems the same.

That's not normal at all. Do you use the Google app regularly? Perhaps for voice searches or something like that?
I'ts not supposed to drain anywhere near that much.
The March security patch OTA was released for some countries today, check for an update, and after installing it, I'd recommend a factory reset and then start from scratch.

I don’t use the Google App at all I think. I do have Google Assisant and “OK Google” on, but surely that cannot be the cause? I haven’t used it once today.
I’m letting it charge back to 100% after which I will see if there’s an update. If it’s the same thing tommorow, i should probably return it, right?

No, don't return it just yet. This isn't a hardware problem.
Check if there's an update for the Google app, if not, here is the latest stable APK for it:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-app-7-22-24-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
Once you install this. Clear cache and data for the app, reboot your phone. Charge it fully to 100% and then go about your day and see if the battery life changes.
If it doesn't, give it one last shot by doing a factory reset (and/or updating to the March patch), and then observing battery drain.
If all that fails, then yeah sure, return it.
You have some weird thing going on
As you can see the battery is great it might be that its downloading all of your email attachments you should disable downloading email attachments via wifi on your gmail account. Reset phone and dont install it see how it goes first

I installed the latest Google app using the link you provided and cleared the cache and data. There weren't any software updates available yet, however.
I do have a suspicion. Normally I always set my phone up from scratch but this time I used Samsung Smart Switch to quickly move things over from my S8+. I've got a feeling that this may be the cause but I'm not sure. I'll see how it goes first before I reset my phone.

I completely disabled Gmail using package disabler since I use Nine for my mail anyway. I'll go another day like this and if it's still this bad, I'm going to reset and setup from scratch. I'll keep you guys posted.
Thanks for the help up until now!
Mine still going strong; January 1 security patch.
But this is with wifi and indoor use, LTE and day light will be another story... And almost no real standby today.

Every android user should know about BBS and should install it on a new phone. I'm on second cycle with my s9+ on LTE only
And wqhd resolution

Sorry but do you mean when you say BBS?
Betterbatterystats
It can take at least several charge/discharge cycles for the metrics related to discharge levels to home in an a reasonably accurate curve, and this also depends on your particular app usage pattern. For now, as the HGTTU says: "Don't Panic!"
A troublesome bug that causes the drain (discharge at high speed of the battery) of the MI8 is caused by the voice Mobile standby, in fact if you go in the battery settings, you will notice a high% of consumption of the item in question.
This is caused because, by default in the Xiaomi rom (China or global) is also the search for frequencies also Chinese, this involves an intensive use of the network module that continues in a way to find these Chinese frequencies, which of course in our country , just as all EU countries do not exist, leading to greater use of autonomy.
Xiaomi is already aware of the problem and will certainly be resolved, when it is not known.
In the meantime, you can solve the problem by yourself, as follows:
Enter the following USSD code *#*#4636#*#* in the dialer.
Set the LTE / WCDMA mode to both SIMs
In this way, only the European frequencies will be used, eliminating the battery drain.
You're welcome btw

It's also a pretty old bug, somebody else had the same idea 4 months ago:

When you reboot the phone it returns to the old settings!
Done, let's see now.
Thanks for the info

On miui perfhaps yes.
I'm on Syberia and it stayed like that.
Well, not a big hassle, I mean I reboot my phone once a week.

Come on.. this is not s solution. We have spent a considerable amount of money to buy this beautiful phone. But Xiaomi releases updates with no sufficient testing prior launch and this is actually annoying.

I agree with you, I really do.
But even if you searched about the device you want to buy even for months before getting it you'll see there is absolutely no device existing without at least 2-3 issues out there.
Even pixels which are what android is and more than that, have problems.
You either bear with it, or stop using smartphones.
And the second option is not a viable choice for me.
P. S. Got a poco before the Mi 8 and refunded it because of the touch lag, I know that Xiaomi doesn't test enough, be it software or hardware.

I really respect what you say and most likely you are right but what now? You see I am using the phone professionally and battery is crucial for me.
Thanks for the advice. There is battery drain with V10.1.2.0. Cell standby. BTW, you can reach the menu by repeatedly tapping on "Internal Storage" in the "My device" settings. There are some "secret" links in settings.

If this bothers you that much then either flash a custom rom on it, or refund/sell the device and get something else, maybe an OP6T.
I ran a little test today to find out if other devices handle it better and it does appear to be so. Mido battery drain with LTE/WCDMA and LTE/TD-SCDMA/UMTS was exactly the same.

But the cell signal history wasn't...
Redmi Note 4X, Xiaomi.eu 9.5, 70km Highway drive with Waze and internet music stream running, fixed display brightness. Same route in both tests, just opposite directions - hence me flipping 2nd signal history in the following screenshot:
I ran a similiar test on my MI 8 a week ago and there were massive differences in battery drain and signal history...like I said I think MI 8 has a baseband issue that somehow can get amplified by the MIUI default network mode setting.
well i seen someone said that global beta 8.12.20 it is way better.anyone tried it around here?i was thinking of trying it myself actually...i think i'll do and came back with some feedback.
idk I've been on global beta since 10.0.3.0 global stable release and I've had all of these issues. It's possible that android 9 adaptive battery feature in beta 8.12.20 helps a bit.
Make sure non interactive scenes are disabled in settings \ battery \ scenes
I have the same problem, my drain was 40% in 8 h in standby mode. I flash my phone to miui 9 and then i update to miui 10 - 10.3.3 global, then i clean al my programs and i don't update sistem apps from Xiaomi. At last i turn off my phone and i charge up to 100%. Now my drain battery per night is 5-6% and last almost 2 days?. Good luck!
