Terrible battery drops - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, I have made this thread for asking solution for a big issue my brother is facing on his S2. He is on official ICS. I've rooted his phone too. The issue is he is having terrible battery drops. Battery doesn't even last for 4 hours. I was shocked to see the graph. Please can anyone tell me how do I get him rid of this issue?
Thank you.

Install Better Battery Stats from the play store and see what's causing the battery drain. The phone isn't going into deep sleep because of wakelocks. See which app is responsible for this.

Try charge battery to full on turned off phone, then pull off battery for few minutes. Put it back turn on phone and see if it helps

Ill try it on him for now and see. He is blaming me for the battery issue coz I forced him to update his phone to ICS.

Flash stock ICS again and wipe data.

ICS gives less battery backup compared to GB.
Turn off WIFI/2G/3G/GPS after you use them. Download Better battery stats.. see if you have partial wake lock due to some app!!
4hrs of backup can only be due continuous gaming or 3G.. it drains battery!!

Try a custom kernel, I recommend Speedmod or Siyah.
Irrespective of the Rom you are running, the kernel and modem have most impact on battery life

Ok guys a quick update. I installed Cpuspy and betterbatterystat and found that phone goes in deepsleep very well. No app causing wakeups. So is flashing a new kernal the only option now?
Ok planning to put in SiyahKernel S2-v4.1.2 kernal. Any issues with it as in known bugs?

I'm surprised that no app is responsible for such terrible battery life. Usually its the Network Locator by Google maps or the the GTalk sync that causes the problem.
Anyway if you're sure its not any apps fault flashing a new kernel is the only way to go. As Jokey recommended, try Siyah or Speedmod.

Explanation:
-flashing a custom kernel has nothing to do with apps
-What kills battery most in stock kernel apart from apps and radios is the kernel - worker and fuel alert wakelock.
-in your own case since no apps is causing wakelock, then a kernel can be of help.
My advise:
-If you are presently satisfied with your battery life, then there it's no need to flash any more thing
-If you are sure no apps drain your battery, but still not satisfied with your battery, monitor that,
i. 2G network saves more battery than 3G, 4G
ii. Turning off Bluetooth, GPS, Autosync, Wi-Fi, Network location (under settings-location), App notification and Google ads in Google playstore settings, saves a lot of power.
-Connecting to a Wi-Fi network saves much more power than using mobile data
-If after trying all the steps above, you are still not satisfied with your battery, then you might have to flash a custom kernel.
-Most custom kernels save much more power than the stock kernel
i. Speedmod kernel gives relatively best battery life if you don't want to change anything. This may be good for you as a beginner.
ii. Siyah, Dorimanx and dream kernels give great customisation.
Hope you find this post helpful enough.
If you have more questions,do let me know.
Good luck

totally agree with ZACQ8
You can get a 2450mah battery that doesnt need a different case. Also try Android Assistant, you can view processes that are running and sort by cpu usage. Try to remove or atleast kill from startup any apps that do not need to run all the time. Most battery assistant programs do not work as after killing an app it will just load back up a few minutes later.
I got the official 2000 mAh battery which did give 15% more life. However the most effective improvement I got was from using the SpeedMod kernel and using Tasker to be more precise about when things came on.
Went from around 14 hrs stock to 30+ hrs for SpeedMod on stock rom for GB.

Hi,
To avoid too fast draining, some classics advices are to turn off some functionalities when you not need it, by example Auto Sync. Many applications needs to be configured with less frequent synchronization (weather apps or widgets, email apps, news apps...)
And as it was mentionned, some kernels can dramatically improve your experience. I agree that Speedmod is one of the best kernel to preserve battery. You can flash it easilly via CWM.

Battery drain on s3 after installing JB 4.1.1

Hi
Last night i installed the [ROM][AOSP][JB][4.1.1][STABLE] SuperNexus - I9300 - BUILD 1 on my Galaxy S3 device and i noticed my battery is draining out like crazy. Cell Standby and Screen are using more than 40% each.
When i was using Ice Cream Sandwich i had the same problem but after installing the battery fix it all worked so tried the fix on JB and nothing.
Is there any other fix or solution for this?
Thanks.
No fix for this until cm sorts it. Live with it or go back to ics I'm afraid mate

That is not repeat not a battery fix if you read the post it fixes a misreported figure only .
battery drain is user start with Better Battery Stats and look for wakelocks .
Battery requires five days use from flashing a new rom .

Screen will always use 40%+ unless you aren't using your phone.

Running the same build myself and experienced an 18% drop last night on standby with Wi-Fi on over 7 hours, i have flashed the latest Siyah kernel update today and ive every confidence this will increase battery life as when i checked the kernel wakelocks this morning the wakelocks were big, the CM kernel i believe is the main culprit in this instance.
Also take into consideration any apps / widgets you have which update and any sTuff you rarely or never use freeze in Titanium backup and also go into advanced in Wi-Fi and set to never or only when plugged in and this will make a difference.
And finally don't use Juice Defender or any other battery saving apps as they use up more battery than they save!

I installed syiah kernel s3-v1.5beta5 over CWM yesterday and still no change, Cell Standby is now using 70% while screen dropped to 7%. I will
now try to disable all automatic updates.
After installing [ROM][AOSP] [4.1.1] Liquid JellyBean Beta 1.1 battery works pretty good without even installing kernel 1.5beta4.
Cell standby dropped to 37% and Screen to 27%
I must say this ROM works faster and adds a few cool options for personalization.

- I recommend you to go to stock or modified ICS , simply functioning Roms and stable .
- JB you can flash it just for fun , still under construction and testing , can't litterly judge it .
You may want to try different modems. Cell standby is mostly not influenced by the ROM but your reception and the flashed modem.

My operator is Movistar from Spain and i am currently outside of the country. I flashed my S3 to JB after leaving the country and now i have no reception, can this be the reason why Cell Standby is always around 70%?

[Q] Galaxy s III i9300 battery life!!!!!

Hey friends I am currently running the OMEGA v28 4.1.1 JB ROM on my international GS3 i9300 and it is also rooted of course and I don't think I'm being paranoid but my battery life has took a massive drop since rooting my device. I am not overclocking mu CPU and I have tried out some rooted apps like battery saver for example and I actually think it made it worse. I have all the usual setting disabled to allow for optimal battery life like brightness right down, auto sync off, wi-fi off when the phone is locked I also only use the wi-fi manually if and when I need it and all that good stuff like smart stay and vibration off. I am wondering if anyone knows of something I'm not trying???
Had it charged to 100% this morning at 9PM and by 1PM I'm down to 79% already and I haven't made any calls and only used it to check my email and facebook for around 10 mins!!! is this normal for everyone else???
:crying::crying::crying:
Cheers
Gary
Sound normal for Sammy JB rom.
Some said Facebook is also causing the battery drains.

Did you reset your battery stats? Charge to 100%, reset battery stats from CWM or delete batterystats.bin -file, let the battery run out.
You might want to use currentwidget to log your battery usage.
I noticed big battery drop between 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 used to get 24 hours one charge 4 hours screen time. Now I get only about 12 hours.
Might just be me :/

I'm using also omega rom v28, have it installed recently. I cannot say how good is the battery with this rom, but so far I have like 56% in 20h, with 2h screen, sopcast 30min, voice cals 37mins....etc (also using wifi manually when needed)
Try out different roms and find out what works for you.
You can also use an app like BetterBatteryStats to check what's draining your battery. Its just to check whats use power.
Don't use batterysaving apps most of the time they are making it worse
I'm running Omega ROM V27.2 and yes it's normal to have a difference about battery life between ICS & JB.
To improve my battery life I installed the phenomenal extreme kernel, and now I'm totally happy with it. You should take a look to its topic in the GS3 Android Development forum. The dev developed 3 versions of his kernel to fit to most of the phone.
Also as others told you, you should get BBS app to point out the wakelocks & define which app is your problem.
Personally, I'm at 45% charged, and already used it during 21h 10m including more than 2 hours screen on. My auto-sync is always on and my WiFi only when I enable it. I'm using a live wallpaper and a lot Twitter.
When I do nothing I can reach more than 2 days.

I use the Phenomenal4.0Medium Kernel and i must say the BatteryLife is very good. I`m working over 15 ours with him and i have 58 % on it.
My WIFI is every time on and Autosync when i use my calender and planners. For me a good app handdling battery life is "GREENPower" in Market Place.

As he recommends ...identifying and reducing your wakelocks should be your primary concern. Been reading loads from developers that the insecure jb kernels themselves should already provide good battery management.

Hey guys, if you are going to use custom ROM's you should be prepared for bad battery. The developers are adding so many different features and hacking certain apps to make them work in their ROM's without a lot of investigation into what the reprecussions to battery are. I used to always use custom ROM's but haven't installed one in about 6 months and haven't any problems with battery life. I have the latest JB on my 9300 and battery life is very good. I use GSAM to watch apps that want to go rouge and start sucking battery life. Media Player Service is a big offender as is Facebook. Also stock widgets that get placed by these JB ROM's are always pinging for new data and kill battery quickly. Get rid of them! If you have a stock ROM and are getting bad battery, 99% of the time it will be bad apps, your job is to determine which ones they are and apps like betterbatterystats and GSAM work great to help diagnose the issue.
can anybody else confirm the above post? because i am not sure about the custom roms.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I will soon have an S3 so I cannot speak specifically about this device / ROM(s).
What I know from using a lot of Android devices and testing original ROMs vs. custom ROMs:
- original ROMs have too much garbage built-in apps and are slower
- original ROMs have everything working
- custom ROMs are much cleaner and faster
- custom ROMs have (too) much problems, something always not working 100%
- custom ROMs usually have stability & battery issues
My personal advice:
- install latest ORIGINAL ROM.
- root it
- install the free app "App Backup & Restore" from Google Play
- search unuseful apps from Samsung (& others) and block the autorun of these apps (note: do not block basic android or samsung apps, as phone, contacts, etc)
I use this method for 1.5 years and this way my Android is clean (you can save over 100-150Mb RAM), FAST and much better battery. Try it.
In the end, if original ROMs have too many original apps, custom ROMs have to many tweeks that in the end, for my taste, the original ROMs + App Backup & Restore win hands down.

I have always had custom roms on all my android devices but at the moment I am running stock ics in my s3.
I don't think the S3 needs it.
To be honest I find a lot of the stock based roms full of changes I don't really need, ARHD was a great Rom but recently has started to lag really badly for me (and some other users) so I went back to stock just to see and so far I can't complain. Smooth, fast and the battery is as good if not better than the custom roms.
If the camera didn't suck so bad on AOSP I would be there in a instant

Amaze Battery madness!?

WTH?!I am using speed rom 8, stock kernel, and my battery jumps around like crazy, has anyone else had had his issue? I think its probably a bad battery. Sometime it falls off insanely quick and at the low end it just dies around 20% or so then I reboot and it up around 30...any ideas?

This has happend to me even on stock. It's purely a battery issue, I went hiking and my phone got slightly moist, and the warranty sticker on the battery went red. See if you have one on your battery, I took mine to my carrier and told me its was covered under HTC's warranty.
This happened to me on stock but tmobile sent me a new phone for $5 and that resolved my issue.
When I was using speed ROM I noticed the same thing with my battery. I don't remember how it was with stock so I can't comment there.
But I have attached a picture of my ROM battery life now that I've switched to the fusion ROM and so far it seems better.
The only thing I can see from the graph you've posted is that your screen was on slightly longer than mine, but that's no reason for such terrible battery.
Might be the ROM and I hate to suggest it, but you might be better of if you try another ROM.

That's what was happening to me + random reboots the first time I flashed speed rom 8. Thought it was the rom so I switched to Infusion, but was getting the same thing and data stopped working.
Here what I did which seems to have resolved the issue for me:
1) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe
2) Flashed the stock ICS RUU (I used the R2 variant)
3) Wiped cache, davik, & data wipe again
4) Flashed SpeedRom 8
5) Did NOT turn on Google Now - It's a battery hog but was not related to the stability issues.
Now i'm running SpeedRom 8 and it's perfectly stable with great battey life. Only thing I've noticed is I seem to not be able to run Wi-Fi and Blutooth at the same time. Wi-Fi will drop out within 10 - 20 minutes if I do. Can't get it back unless I turn of BT and turn off Wi-FI and turn it back on. Weird but livable.

[Q] Battery Related Issues?

Hey.
I have recently become a victim of this issue. The issue is my phone becomes unreliable before 50% charge mark. It reboots at any given time as long as it is down to less than 50%. I am currently running leaked LSJ with Philz Kernel. I have bought a new battery and it is giving the same results so if anyone has any sort of suggestion please post em. I am really worried about my phone right now.
Thanks.

As far as i know Philz Kernel has some issue. I am on stock 4.1.2 not rooted, i had battery drain issue. i did following to control the battery drain, so far 24+hrs with 3hr on display:
1. use phone till it shuts off and no battery even to poweron, then charge it to 100% (experience from ICS 4.0.4)
2. settings -> wifi -> advanced -> network notification - uncheck (came across in one of the thread in general section)
3. disabled google now and auto sync + other usual battery saving tips
hope this helps.
Time to go Stock and see if the issue remains, just for kicks to see if your dealing with a faulty chip. Then you can flash philz again.
I would flash the JB leak stock kernel and calibrate your battery with BatteryCalibration app ( that's what i did and i'm on 88 % 15 hs 45 mins)
For the draining problem you can look into this:

try this app and follow the instructions given in this app

reset battery gauge
try resetting you battery fuel gage. install an ew kernel and reset uor battery meter this should solve the isse unless your battery has some discharge issues.

Hey.
I have recently become a victim of this issue. The issue is my phone becomes unreliable before 50% charge mark. It reboots at any given time as long as it is down to less than 50%. I am currently running leaked LSJ with Philz Kernel. I have bought a new battery and it is giving the same results so if anyone has any sort of suggestion please post em. I am really worried about my phone right now.
Thanks.

You cant because Siyah and Dorimanx don't support xxlsj firmware jet, just Philz for now.
EDIT: Sory for the misleading Dorimanx support it half, see this post
Do not use battery calibration app or reset furl gauge, best way I reckon is this method:
