First off, hello to everyone! First post here, even though I've been following the community for about a month now.
Now, I'm running KaosFroyo v38 on my Eris - flashed CFSv6 and all works like a dream. Hell, my camera even works perfectly so far!
But, my battery life was crappy. I just started wiped my battery stats earlier (around 11:45ish), and now at 2:00 it's around 85%. Not as bad as before, but I definitely think it could be better Anyways, after some searching, I've only found a how-to for the recalibration, but I was wondering about the proper behavior for the recalibration. Now, I don't really know how it works, so forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question or if I'm just begging for the Kracken to be released.
Part of me wants to baby the phone, not do anything with it and let it last as long as possible - this is, after all, the reason for recalibrating, right?
The other part of me wants to abuse my phone, do some web surfing, download a ton of crap, and drain my battery. My logic makes me wonder if the battery should get used to the abuse to work better during everyday use...?
There's another part of me that thinks I should just use the phone normally as I would any other day just to find a happy medium between the two.
Then there's another part of me that wonders if any of this really matters at all... and if that slightly fishy smell in the air might be the Kracken approaching....
Just wanted some opinion on how to properly get the battery up to its fullest capabilities, which method did you use when you recalibrated??? I'm planning on continuing the drain/charge cycle for the next couple of days to see what happens, and if not, I'm gonna try flashing KaosFroyo v37 and see how that works, or gonna go back to ZenEXP Eris v7 (which so far has been nice and stable and looooooong-ass battery life, but the Sense seems to be a bit sluggish :/, but overall another beautiful ROM). I'm also running setCPU back a bit at 604 from the 710 that v38 comes set with, wondering if dialing it back a little like I did would help me conserve battery, or if maybe it was overclocked to 710 for a reason and perhaps it's able to run better that way?
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read!

I thought I showed her already how to get rid of that...
On topic, I followed DS36's recommendations. You can find his thread about it in the Eris Development forum.
Flash the Conaps CFSV6 or CFSV9 Kernel, it'll fix the battery drain. Go to the FAQ page for the KAOS FROYO builds:
As of V38
If you flashed v38 and your battery is Rapidly discharging, please try flashing Conaps CFSV6 kernel (just like you flashed this ROM, from recovery) Here is a link to Conaps kernels and other goodies:
Also, in the ERIS FAQs, there is a sticky that covers how to recalibrate your battery.
HI ,
I'm willing to buy S II , but i heard there are some issues regarding the battery life is that true ? and if that is true any solutions for the short battery life , what are the most useful applications i must install after buying it ?
Thanks

Lool! All smartphones have a decent battery life, nothing amazing. Not really an issue but you do have to tweak your phone a bit to get the best out of it. Like kernels and freezing and removing something useless things . Hope i helped.
looks like an iphone but powered by android baby!!!!

you crack me up you do...you always so jolly
anyway to OP. Like jollyman said you need to tweak about with the phone with kernels and modems and try different roms to get the best out of the phone...i was like you in the start and was questioning if i made the right choice or not. heck i even send it back and got a sensation.....but realized my mistake and got me baby back and could not be happier..so go with the s2 and read read read on how to get the best out of your phone
do you think better idea to stick to the official updates only? because i'll be new user and i dont wanna screw up my new phone..

for the time being yes. stick with official updates. then while you stick with official updates do your reading. take your time and read through out the threads. and when you feel confident enough to root then go ahead. but for now i suggest you stay stock.

i am coooollllll but anywhooooo i am just a noobie buddy....just common sense really kicks in when needed
i dont quite understand the ppl who buys android phones and doesnt modify it... i mean the only TRUE difference between iphone and sgs2 is powered by iphone iOS and Android.. which is open source... the other difference doesnt really matter much.. processor ( yea its more powerful but duuh.. there isnt much things to do that really require that much power) or the screen (duuh iphone has abit better screen so what? if u dont look closely u wont even see difference(atleast not me)) so yea if you gona buy sgs2 i RECOMMEND you to do alot of flashing and rooting and play with it around
WITH BACKUP of course... especially the EFS backup
It all depend how you use your phone. Sometimes I it for hours on end and go through 2-3 batteries a day (I have 3 spares).
Today I used it very little. About 7 phone calls, 2 messages and only about half an hour browsing / xda etc. Currently on 85% after 18 hours.
So usage makes a massive difference.

Actually , few phone calls may be total 15 min per day , but i will there will be a fair using for the WIFI may be 4-6 hrs per day , do you think this will effect much the battery performance?

do you think is there a need to change the Kernel version ? or just do the official update and it will be fine ?
Definitely stick to official updates. Regardless of what anyone might tell you, it's a fantastic phone running stock firmware. And if you're not confident about flashing custom roms/kernels (there's a small risk everytime you do it that things might go wrong/you might brick your phone), definitely stick to official firmware.
At the very least until you've done a lot of reading on here and are confident to try different roms/kernels. If things do go wrong, it might take you a few days of research on here to work out how to fix your phone (which means you won't have your phone working for that time), and at worst you'll have to return it to Samsung for repair. Which you'll probably end up paying for as running custom roms/kernels voids your warranty.
So slow and steady, stick with stock for a while and read. Then read some more. And when you're done doing that, read for another couple of months.

Sorry but got to disagree, yes its a great phone as stock but with custom ROM and kernels its an amazing phone. The devs here have done some amazing work. BUT (and its a big one) dont do a thing till you've researched your arse off, and you understand all the risks of what your doing.
Ricey
(woohoo 400th post)
Latest stocks have been fine, even stock kernels have shown improved battery life. But with a custom rom/kernel combination your setting up a phone the way you like it with many ways of tweaking it.
If you do buy one, update to latest stock, try it out, if your not happy then root and enjoy.
My post was an attempt to persuade the OP to stick to stock should he purchase an SGS2. The last thing we need on here is yet another " Hlap mai fone broked !" post :-/ (and everything that goes with it).

My wifi and GPS are on 100% of the time. I never turn them off. Today, 23 hours since charge and about 2 hours screen time and battery on 69%. But 3g is off (2g only) and no email sync.
Yesterday, heavy usage and went through at least 2 batteries.
BTW, since I got the s2 I've only ever used cf root kernals. Nice and stable for me and the closest thing to stock. Others claim increased performance or have over clocking etc don't interest me. I believe the phone doesn't need them. Also using Checkrom. On the S1, well that was different.

Hello, guys.
I'm about to smash my phone on the ground. Please, help me.
The problem: it just can't handle 3g connection anymore. Whenever I'm using 3g, the battery drops from like 70% straight to 30 something. In a couple of minutes, just like that. Then it drops to zero, the "shutting down" message appears and right before it turns itself off I can see the battery dropping up from zero to, let's say, 50%. Then I turn on my phone again and the battery is around 40%. I should make clear that using the phone offline or even connected through wifi the battery performs normally. It's only when on 3g mobile data. This was happening with my stock rom and continues to happen with this custom rom I use right now.
What is going on?

Hi,
I experienced the same issue a while ago. Thought it was a bug or something so I did a fresh, clean reinstall of the ROM and got rid of the problem Try using the latest build from @Pandemic, it's really great!

Hey, SoleBulge. I ended up reseting the phone back to the original rom/settings via SEUS. Is this somehow equivalent to a clean install? 'Cause if it is, the clean install you' ve suggested me maybe will not work. I'm facing the same 3g/massive battery drops issue. What do you think?

Mr. Pandemic, I did what you told me to do. Unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone, flashed the Nemesis 6.3 Kernel, Mounted system and data in cwm, Flashed Honami Moonwalker v8, did a Factory Reset, Wiped dalvik and cache, Rebooted, Let it settle like 10 minutes, Rebooted once again and voilá! I have a new phone thanks to you. Way faster and smoother than the previous one. Thanks again, sir, and if it reveals itself as stable as it seems, I will expre$$ my thank$ properly as you deserve.
Unfortunately, I am still facing the same problem mentioned before. My battery was at 70%, I turned on the 3g conection, googled some stuff, started to read an article while I was waiting at the supermarket line and it dropped from 70 directly to 56%. 1 minute later it dropped again to 43% and then to 29 (making the phone itself disable the 3g data traffic). I turned it on again and...you know the story: 29 to zero, android shutting down message and, before it all goes black, the battery status "drops up" again at the very last second to 40%. Then it finally shut down.
I don't think I can take it anymore.

My @Pandemic, thank you for your answer and time, but I feel I must make somethings clear here. I know what a noob is and I'm pretty sure I am one, but I don't think the problem/questions I bring here are "noob level", and I say this because of a couple or more reasons.
First of, I've already put the same issue description at a Q/A noob friendly thread and not a single expert answered it.
Second, as you can see, I decided to make my problem/question a thread and still not a single expert figured it out. I did what @TheSoleBulge told me do ("a fresh, clean reinstall of the ROM ") and nothing changed. I did what you, the Pandemic, told me to do and still nothing changed. Btw, when you say "follow the steps in the 2nd post of my rom" and in the 2nd post of your ROM I find both instructions for locked bootloader AND unlocked bootloader, as my bootloader is unlocked, I did, yes, something that you ALSO told people/me to do; I did not say you only told me to unlock the bootloader. Did not mean that. And I would bet a couple of dimes that some expert would say something like "hey, man. Unlock your bootloader, flash custom kernel and you'll be fine". No, I'm not fine.
Third, you tell me now to "wipe battery stats and cwm recovery or calibrate your battery or change some governor like on hotplugx on noop". What I already did was, after flashing/clean installing everything as you instructed, charge the phone completely, calibrate the battery by removing the batterystats.bin system file via "batterycalibration" app, let the phone fully discharge AND recharge without break. Did not mess with the governors yet, but before I try it I must ask you to please be kind enough to read my problem not as just some "battery drain" issue but as something more tricky and specific. Being offline my battery last forever. Connected through wifi it lasts just a little less. When on 3g, from fully charged to "shutting down device", it lasts 10 to 20 minutes, maximum. Do you think the *governors thing* (<--as I said, yes, I'm a noob) can solve this 3g/battery massive drops specific problem? Or you're just guessing? I searched here and outside and did not find similar situation. Found something about wakelocks and RILJ on other threads but I'm not sure if it's the right path to solve this or not. What do you think?
Thank you one more time.
That was one detailed answer! Will take another look on this..

yes i dont tell you to unlock you bootloader, you did it by your own so please dont blaim it on me, YOU DID IT, simple.
yes i am kind to you but if you did all that with you battery then you battery is broken in my eyes, so you need a new battery or there is something wrong with your XP, you told you didn`t play with the governors yet, well it told to do that and not telling a whole story like this now...
about the wakelocks: No one knows it what causing it and i dont have that foolish wakelocks
i hope i helped you with this

@TheSoleBulge, I can't say about the problem without any apps. First thing I did after flashing my latest custom kernel/rom combo was reinstalling my apps, but I assure you that it was not via backup. I did it one by one, manually. My carrier signal here is from good to great.
One new thing I tried today that apparently suggests what could be the kind of misbehavior causing this 3g/battery problem was to turn off all background data. So far the battery is just draining faster than when it's on wifi. No crazy drops. Since I don't allow any auto-sync, maybe some app is messing up with the battery stats when I'm on 3g. And again about the whole thing: it's not just draining faster. It's causing crazy massive drops, from let's say 70 to 50 to 29 to zero and, before the shut down, from zero to 40 again. And all this in a couple of minutes! Then I turn on my phone right after that and it's showing 35% of battery, for example. This has been my smartphone life since it started. Restricting background data has preventing it from happening, but it is a drastic decision and still not clarify what is exactly going on. After all, a lot of people use background data without facing this particular issue of mine.
I also downloaded some related apps (BBS and WakeLock detector) and saved some prints here. I can't read the technical info, but maybe some one here could, so I'll try to post it as soon as I can.
Thank you for your time, Solge.

@Pandemic,
I didn't post on this @AndroidNoob69 thread. I've posted on the " [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly." thread.
And again (quoting myself):
"I ended up reseting the phone back to the original rom/settings via SEUS. Is this somehow equivalent to a clean install? 'Cause if it is, the clean install you' ve suggested me maybe will not work. I'm facing the same 3g/massive battery drops issue."

So my timeline is as it goes:
1 - I was on stock ROM (since I bought the phone),
2 - one year later I rooted my phone (but kept the bootloader locked) and installed Honami MW HD V6 (keeping stock kernel),
3 - then last week I did a factory reset via SEUS (when it flashed the 1.100 JB),
4 - then rooted again, unlocked the bootloader and did the so called clean installation flashing Honami MW 8 (this time for unlocked bootloader, of course, cause I wanted to flash Nemesis kernel).
My "battery not handling 3g connection" problem starded right before number 2 (while on original/stock settings; I thought rooting, resetting and flashing whichever custom rom on my phone it would solve my problem).
And about the "you did/you didn't tell to unlock...": man, I think we are lost in translation here. Are you a native north-american? Cause I'm not, but I'm trying my best to communicate properly in English. Why are you defending yourself from charges and accusations with things like "you did it by your own so please dont blaime it on me, YOU DID IT". Chill out, dude! I'm just trying to make you comprehend that I followed your instructions. I did nothing wrong, so stop telling me to do it all over again. I can read. YOu give installation process for both locked and unlocked bootloader on the 2nd post of you ROM. I just said I did exactly what you told for, in my case (dã), unlocked bootloaders. Did you somehow think that I said that my battery/3g handling problem was because of your ROM and/or installation proccess? How could you? I did no say that. I have this problem regardless of your work, pal, which btw is an amazing one. My phone now is as fast as my friends S GS4 thanks to your rom and the whole thing is that this android issue is happening with a phone that happens to have your work inside, that's all. It was happening before with stock kernel/rom, it is still happening now after clean install, custom kernel/rom. If you came here thinking that I was pointing some Honami bug, you clearly got it all wrong.
Moving on. You think my battery is broken. I quote myself again:

I don't see how my battery can be broken if it performs normally with wifi. A broken battery would behave like this on any conditions, imo, but correct me if I'm wrong.
About flashing again the Stock JB Kernel without any new procedure...well, I think I'll pass it. I just did that right before flashing nemesis and Honami. How would it help solve the problem now?
Finally: this thread is not about a 3g problem nor a battery problem. From my noob perspective, It is about an Android specific problem happening within my phone making it not being able to legitimately "understand" the battery, causing it to drop dead over and over ONLY while on 3g connection. I am here to figure out what is causing it.

@Pandemic,
I didn't post on this @AndroidNoob69 thread. I've posted on the " [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly." thread.
And again (quoting myself):
So my timeline is as it goes:
1 - I was on stock ROM (since I bought the phone),
2 - one year later I rooted my phone (but kept the bootloader locked) and installed Honami MW HD V6 (keeping stock kernel),
3 - then last week I did a factory reset via SEUS (when it flashed the 1.100 JB),
4 - then rooted again, unlocked the bootloader and did the so called clean installation flashing Honami MW 8 (this time for unlocked bootloader, of course, cause I wanted to flash Nemesis kernel).
My "battery not handling 3g connection" problem starded right before number 2 (while on original/stock settings; I thought rooting, resetting and flashing whichever custom rom on my phone it would solve my problem).
And about the "you did/you didn't tell to unlock...": man, I think we are lost in translation here. Are you a native north-american? Cause I'm not, but I'm trying my best to communicate properly in English. Why are you defending yourself from charges and accusations with things like "you did it by your own so please dont blaime it on me, YOU DID IT". Chill out, dude! I'm just trying to make you comprehend that I followed your instructions. I did nothing wrong, so stop telling me to do it all over again. I can read. YOu give installation process for both locked and unlocked bootloader on the 2nd post of you ROM. I just said I did exactly what you told for, in my case (dã), unlocked bootloaders. Did you somehow think that I said that my battery/3g handling problem was because of your ROM and/or installation proccess? How could you? I did no say that. I have this problem regardless of your work, pal, which btw is an amazing one. My phone now is as fast as my friends S GS4 thanks to your rom and the whole thing is that this android issue is happening with a phone that happens to have your work inside, that's all. It was happening before with stock kernel/rom, it is still happening now after clean install, custom kernel/rom. If you came here thinking that I was pointing some Honami bug, you clearly got it all wrong.
Moving on. You think my battery is broken. I quote myself again:

@Djgenes
wow again a huge story and i make it shorter what is meant to me:
well i tell you one thing, i dont come in that thread
[HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly
so i dont know why you dont post your questions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2615355
because that thread is for questions about my rom, so how will i know if you post questions here: [HELP THREAD] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly
if i never come there ?? LOL
i am glad you like my work but i dont know for sure what causing that struggle with your battery and if i dont know it then i dont know for sure,
i am relax mate, please do you also relax or take a pill,
about the 3g problem maybe is it your operators fault and not the rom because i and more users have no problems so far with 3g or battery because they play with governors to set it at the right one and thats good.
you should try that to and btw please dont restore apps from you back up maybe that can give problems to.
ok please dont get mad at me now or pointing or blaiming me for your problems, and like i said i dont know for sure what causing it so sorry, and i end the story telling now here, ok
i hope you can figure it out what the problems is because like i said this again, i and more people have no problems with my latest rom wit battery and 3G so its sure you operator or you XP itself !
p.s.
oh yeah about the JB stock kernel, just flash that and so if it helps, that is what i mean
you can always flash back to Nemesis kernel !
Here I bring some prints.
And sad news: my battery is still crazy dropping down again, over and over, even with restricted background data on. Tried Droidwall. Nothing. And guess what: one of the times, when I got "oh my god, it's gonna shut down again" after dropping from 65% do 15%, I quickly turned off the 3g data before the battery hits zero, I left the phone inside my pocket and every ten or 12 minutes I checked the battery status and it was charging itself alone! No kidding. The battery slowly got back to - as far as I let it recharge - 29%. From 15 to 29. No electricity. Just my pocket.
To those who are reading from here: this problem happens ONLY while on 3G. Offline and through wifi my battery lasts normally.
What could it be, guys?
@TheSoleBulge? Anything?

You screen is all the time awake i see and you dont use stamina mode -_-

What do I have to do to stop receiving generic answers? My god!
Don't you see that my problem is not just "battery draining"? Don't you realize that those "tips" you bring here has nothing to do with my problem? Don't you comprehend that keeping screen awake and not using Stamina mode will ONLY decrease my battery life, NOT make it drop from 70 to ZERO% in 20 minutes? Especially if this drops occur ONLY while on 3g? Oh, btw, did you see that I wrote countless times that this problem happens exclusively when the phone is on 3g data network?
Why, for example, keeping the screen awake and not using Stamina mode won't affect my battery life using wifi? What kind of suggestions are giving me, @Pandemic?
And I can't even say how many times I recalibrated the battery stats. Countless times.
Please, do me a favor: if you don't have the time to try to understand this weird and especific misbehavior of my phone, don't come here with genericall "how to save battery life"* tips, ok?
Let's save at least our lives time.
Thank you.

Thank you, man. I'll try it and let you know what happens.
Indeed, this ROM is a keeper.
Hello guys i have a problem with my battery.It drains so fast and i dont know the reason.I noticed that chrome is using about 40-50% of the battery while my screen does use 36% and apps like facebook,youtube etc. about 2-3%.Whats going on?Can i fix this problem or i have to buy a new battery with higher mAh.I also found that calibrating my battery might solve the problem but havent tried it yet so i give this a try and let you know.Let me know what you think.
Depends on how long you've had the battery ?
P.S - You can't 'calibrate' a S2 battery. It's impossible. Ignore the crap on here/elsewhere saying you can.
Extra P.S - Which S2 variant are we talking about - I9100 ? (Ignore what I'd said about double posting, your other thread in General is sufficiently different, though you'd probably get more help if it was in Accessories).

I have the battery since i bought the s2 which means about 3 years.
About the calibration i dont know if it works or not i just said i found it as a solution on a search i had.
Yes its I9100.You are right about the double posting but i am new here and i dont know exactly in which thread to post so i did post on both.
Let me know what you think.I am using the phone too much if that helps and maybe the battery has come to an end and needs replacement.
Nah it's all good about the other thread, you're asking where to buy batteries so that's cool
3 yrs eh ? Getting anything beyond 18 mths is pretty good assuming you're charging it at least a little once per day (if you're doing a full charge/discharge you'd get less than that), and even if you're not doing that (say charging only every 2nd day), two years is pushing it.
You've done well to get 3 yrs out of it. I mean, you could get BetterBatteryStats & see if there's wakelocks/whatever causing drain that you might be able to reduce, but everything you've said points to a simple case of the battery being on the way out, so a replacement is probably the go.

Well then i feel better now I will get used to threads and all this stuff after being there for some time
Last year i think i over charged the battery because i used the phone too much and the battery was always drained.Sometimes twice a day!
I think needs replacement too.I will try betterbatterystats just to check where the massive drain comes from.
Anyway thanks for responding and helping me in a kind way greets!
