hey,
I bought a month ago a new vibrant from the states and I installed Bionix rom and then Honeybee.
I have 2 problems with the battery:
the first one is when I'm rebooting the cellphone the percents of the battery status get down by 10-30%, for example: I had 45% and then after the reboot I got 22%, sometimes it's even fell to 0%.
the second one is that the battery is working only within 5-5 and half hours max with no Wi-Fi and normal-less usage, the display is taking at least 80% of my battery (as it write on the setting option), I do have juice defender and I tried to find out what application taking so much battery but no success (I used some programs like watchdog lite and etc.).
I tried to change the battery the other ones (even battery that works great on the I-9000).
**I've tried to calibrate the battery more than once.
anybody has some suggestions?
have you done a battery calibration
?
try a different kernel

the next comment - I'm using Tigerbloodv3.22
I heard it's pretty good kernel.
Is it possible it's an hardware problem?
try bali 1.8 uv kernel
why dont you try going back to stock and see if the problem is is still there if it isnt try a differnt rom

I second this.
stock means to the original version?
if I want to do it, how can I save all of my contacts?

if you save them to the sim it wont matter
or back up contacts/calls with titanium backup, cant restore it on any other version though, just 2.2.1 if thats what honeybee is
back up anything else you want with titanium, preferable not system data unless you're just going to restore it to that version

Best way in my opinion is just to make sure you save everyone as a Google contact. That way they are backed up and restored automatically.

download an app from market called contact2sim

alright, I've done it, I got back to the stock but I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM
when I'm rebooting the cellphone the battery status is changing by 20-30% less

try calibrating again, charge full, unplug, if it drops, plugin again, keeps repeating this till it stays at 100
then use a calibration app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
or boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
or do it through root explorer and reboot
it'll take a few charge cycles to settle in, charge full, run all the way down till its completely dead, charge full, run all way down again
alright, so I calibrated my cellphone and it is still with the battery problem... is it possible that there is an hardware problem?

dont know, my phone's done it a few times and i've had it jump up 30 or 40% aswell after a reboot so just leave it a few days, let it settle
or try a different battery
I flashed the Bali 1.2ghz kernel last night and my battery is now amazing! Unplugged my phone at 6:30am, its now 10:40pm and with heavy use I still have 22% left.

Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?
Check for wakelocks.
[APP] BetterBatteryStats adds battery history back to Gingerbread.
Thanks but i dont think it will help

Brilliant. Carry on enjoying your 5-6 hour battery life then.
very funny
It will help also have you checked what is consuming battery? Do you have data, wifi or bluetooth on?
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yes I checked everything. I have wifi bt 3g off, screen 40% in battery usage it says screen eats 70% battery and the rest is some apps 2-3%
You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it
Xperia x10i
DonutHD
DoomKernel v6
Unlocked and unbranded.. Bye bye vodafone
I would give you some help on it but I don't think you will think that would help.

I've given you your first "thanks" because you've made me laugh quite hysterically.
Hope you're battery's down to 5-6 seconds soon.
Check out a poster here who goes by the sadly inappropriate name of TheMegaStar - you two are made for each other.
Original poster seems a funny guy, don't think he wants our help.
Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.

Hi,
My battery drops after every abnormal shut down, by pressing the power button for ~8 second. (I do this when the phone freeze.)
And when I turn my SGS2 on, some battery "disappear", sometimes 10%, sometimes 20%, or ever 50%.
For example, I have 90% of battery right before I shut it down (abnormal shut down) , and maybe I get only 50% of battery after I turn the phone on. It that possible that the battery drains 40% in 1 minute? Or it is normal because I shut it down improperly? (have a look of the attachment)
There is no problem if I reboot it normally.
I have two battery, having the same problem.
I face this issue in many ROMs, stock GB ROM, AOKP ROM, MIUI, etc.
I'm using Siyah Kernel 3.1.2 now.
Thanks for any help
(Sorry for my bad English)
I've heard a few users mention this battery drop and i've experienced it myself. It even happens sometimes if i restart my phone after flashing a mod or something.
You'll notice that the battery level starts to climb back up to where it left of (less the normal usage discharge)
Yep, normal on the SGS2.
Just part of the battery weirdness as a result of that fuel gauge chip. Entropy512 has written many a post on the subject if you feel like searching/reading up on it. Nothing to be alarmed about tho, and nothing you can fix. Just make sure you've got plenty of battery left before you do a flash.
On other hand, your freezes if regular is a worry!

Yup, my SGS2 freezes quite frequently after upgrading to Android 4.0.4.
Maybe I'll downgrade to 4.0.3, or perform a full wipe and flash the ROM again to fix this.

i neva faced tht batt drops but one common point is u mus b full on batt wen flashing,the kernel does it suit ur need,apps installd,ur modem ,signal,an look at my sig --right now iam on 520 apps (reason iam pointing this is bcause i figured number of apps tht jus don stop,an i had to remove them..)
Battery drop is pretty common say 7 out of 10 times if you remove battery, after boot you will be 10-20 percent less. Specially if you change roms quickly..

Apart from the first few words of what you said (which I've omitted), what does the rest of it have to do with the OP's query about battery dropping after a dodgy shutdown or when flashing firmwares ?

Well, if your phone's on now then take a SS of that.. That will let you know whether its a problem related to ICS or whether its a battery problem..
Check if when the screen is off, the phone's still awake or not..

Keep your phone locked for sometime, maybe half an hour, don't use your phone.. Then check the Battery history details and see if the phone's awake even when the screen's off.
Problem with all ICS ROMs.
Restart after charging via wall charger, then it doesn't happen.

No, it is not the kernel. It is a bug in the ROM, that hasn't been found or fixed yet. Restarting resets certain phone data.

It has happened always since ICS update for me, with all ICS ROMs I have used, with all ICS kernels I have used.
Restarting does the deal. I restart my phone every morning anyway, to clean up the memory/CPU, so phone will be faster.
It dosent happen with stock extended kernel..earlier it happened to me when I switched to krsh kernel aftet that I flashed extended kernel and and install custom rom like rs lite. With wipe data and format and this bug dissapeared..then it never came back
Hope it helps

In my experience so far concerning battery life, the kernel plays a huge role.
Stock kernel is a big drainer. Rage kernel is very good with battery life, as is KRsH kernel.
Flash a custom kernel, and set CPU governor to smartassv2, svagedzen or brazilianwax. Those 3 are in my experience the best.

Thought so.. that it was related to the Kernel.. I'm on extended stock kernel now and the battery life isn't as bad as stock ICS. Although I really haven't kept track of the exact battery life on this kernel, but it's certainly better than Stock ICS.

I've had similar problems when my usb port got burnt, and battery indicator constantly kept showing 'charging' icon, even thought cable was unplugged. Apparently some process/service (related to USB connectivity) prevented OS to go to sleep, and that kept draining the battery... Thanks to warranty, phone got fixed, and since i havent experienced any battery drain. Last time i checked, i got up to 3 days without recharging the battery

let the ROM settle, 2 or 3 battery cycle.
installs BBS, cpu spy and gsam battery monitor
check which app is consuming more battery
if it is media scanner, there is rescan media apk available to disable it.
calibrate the battery and monitor it.

I`m able to fix my problem. Connected my phone to my PC and it is repaired to me. It was take around 1 hour to check and fix. After that I`m able to format over windows and now everything is working perfectly.
It's about the memory
I had the same problem with my S2 , it was getting hot and the battery life was shorter than norma, i has so little free memory on phone memory,so i deleted some apks and created some free space and the problem solved,my phone returned to it's normal state.i think that was the reason so check this out if it works. :good:

Turn off google now its tracks where you every 20 sec and this eats battery very fast. It will use about 3-5% battery a hour. Also install deep sleep battery saver
Look a trick for saving battery this method disables background processes in settings go to development and down, limit background processes to 1 or 2
