Suggestions welcome
New battery, after awhile batteries will not fully charge, so buy a new battery, would suggest ebay.
( Don't ask me for help, as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh!!!)
Thanks..but it has not even been a full year
Doesn't really matter how old your battery , charging and discharging is the issue every battery has a life span, typical useage 8 hrs, heavy useage 3-4 hrs, min useage 14 hrs, thats typical for me. Try a new battery

Nice :good:
Dont open a new thread with the same problem. Have you actually bought or tried another battery? Have you tried deleting the battery stats or using a battery optimizer app?

There are a bunch of tips here.
Usually that kind of drain is caused by an app. Try running a stock ROM for a day or two and see if the issues go away. Or use one of the battery monitoring apps (BetterBatteryStats, SystemPanel Standard, Battery Monitor Widget) to determine which app is causing your drain.
It may take some work on your part to isolate the problem since there is no global solution to battery problems.

If you're rooted you can get a CPU controlling app like SetCpu. If its this bad I would say it has to be your battery though.

I see from you screenshot that the screen is on all the time. My experience has been a good rom will get me 1.5-2 hours of screen on time, an average one will be 1-1.5, and a poor rom less than 1 hour. Right now I'm on agrabren's CM10 with alternate kernel and am getting around 1 hour 20 minutes of screen on time. Seems your usage is typical.
If you have to leave the screen on all the time like that I would suggest plugging in. The screen will take the battery down quickly.

Alright, I've read countless "photon battery issue" threads and none really have a good answer but this is just ridiculous:

I went to bed with the thing charged to 100%, wake up 8hrs later, not having used it once and its at 50%... okay, whatever, I guess it was about 8 hours...
So I charge it to 80% then go work-out for about maybe 2 hours and when I'm done the SOB is at 40%- I DIDN'T TOUCH IT THE WHOLE TIME! I DON'T THINK IT EVEN CHARGES THAT FAST! I don't care if it was searching for signal the whole time, which it shouldn't have, WTF?!
Other anecdotal stories: I'm fanatical about battery life and always charge it full before going out for the night or something and I'm usually lucky to make it to bar close, a total time span of MAYBE 5 hours. How is this even possible?! The damn thing is supposed to have a 10 hour talk time?! Even if I was on the phone the whole time (which not even close, just txting and using it when you're awkwardly alone while your friend goes to the bathroom)- WTF!?
I'm extremely vigilant about charging and monitoring battery life and despite my best efforts I get burned constantly. I even have this thing on airplane mode at work (in a basement) cause it will be dead by the end of my shift.
Any one use a rom that gives a noticeable increase in battery life? Doesn't seem like many of them are mature enough. Juice defender doesn't seem to help much... do I have any decent options? I may start carrying around a second battery but seriously, that's a bit silly.
/venting.
you have a bad battery, just call up Motorola and see if your still under warranty, if so, have them send you one, that's what i did and i've noticed a substantial increase in battery life
Hey man, did you calibrate your battery when flashing roms? Battery will die faster when dont calibrate. Currently which rom are you on. also check some programs that might run in the background. Right now, im getting about 17 hours, but i am over clocked and under volting this bad boy. I posted my battery life prior to running jokers ROM. Check it out.

I think I have some issues with my battery as well. It discharges fast! I usually have it full all the time but the times where I have left it discharge cause I'm lazy I wonder how everyone post pics with 13+ hrs when I feel like my won't get even 10. Btw, my battery has been in water for a brief moment idk if that affects it somehow?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
In my experience, bad battery life is usually related to some apps or settings wrecking havoc in the background. Unless you happen to have a phone with LTE and a smaller battery of course.
I always get an average of 30 to 40 hours on one charge with moderate use on my Photon, stock rooted...
For me, live wallpapers demolished my battery life. Also, I completely formatted sd internal before flashing joker skinny.
No rom here, just rooted- lime green theme. I didnt calibrate but for a theme i shouldn't need to? Ill look into getting a battery from moto, no reason i shouldn't be covered.... Aside from rooting that is. Also wouldnt phantom app drain show in the pics posted?

hey
i want to have a better battery life and i dont know how to improve it..
can u tell me what rom and kernel has best battery life for my galaxy s2?
right now im on wanamlite la4 final and siyah kernel and from 8:00 in the morning to 2:00 in the afternoon its got 10% down is it normal? good? bad?
what is best kernel for battery life? (i dont use vcontrol)
what is the best rom for battery life?
im not gonna buy an extended battery..
thanks
so you drained your phone in couple hours, the question here would be
what were you running cause even if you get the best rom/kernel with the amount of apps or usage you can kill your battery in the same amount of time
i suggest you first find out whats drainning your current setup with betterbatterystats
and if you have wifi/3g and stuff like that on, also the brightness levels, if you have any special app that might be waking up your phone
There's no such thing as the best rom or kernel for battery life because there's too many variables that determine how long you get out of a charge. It depends on your phone setup (what apps you have installed), how you use your phone, as well as the rom & kernel.
Because of these factors, you won't see the same battery life with the rom/kernel combo I use.
You can install BetterBatteryStats (search for the thread on here) and use it to see if there are wakelocks causing your battery to drain when you're not using the phone much, for example.
Whether 10% battery loss in 6 hrs is good or bad again is impossible to answer because of the above factors. On the subject of extended batteries, I do recommend the original Samsung 2000mAh battery, what's not to love about 20% more juice & the phone only a few mm thicker ? (the phone fits in my original case with battery cover removed).

thats my battery usage... nothing has been used
is there a different battery life for modems? or its like kernel and rom like u guys said?
when i will come back home i'll upload another picture with this "betterbatterystats"
thank u all for help!
If you get BetterBatteryStats, let the phone run for a couple hrs (at least) after you install it (overnight, or whenever you think the phone is draining too much when it maybe shouldn't be, like that 8am-2pm period you mentioned in your OP). Don't post anything 10 minutes after you've installed BBS. You need a couple hours data minimum to get an accurate idea of what's happening.

This phone aside from keyboard lag and batt drain is awesome...
I've tried and tried to understand why whether on gb or ics batt drains like can watch % drop every few minutes
My hox on ics wasnt half as bad I'm rooted anyone know a good fix or kernel for team objection ics or a kernel.
And why for God sakes do all Samsung devices slowwwwww charge if u don't have a 2nd battery when first dies you'll be in the red zone rest day trying to regain some type of charge

Try the official Emily rom its gingerbread..there's even a couple of good themes for it, I had very good battery with that rom. Am now testing ics CM9. Sometimes its the settings you have and brightness that kills the battery. I leave my brightness on 40% keep auto sync OFF.. Even black wallpapers and inverted apps help with battery as it takes less energy to energize the pixels...I get awesome battery life on my note.. And I use perfect keyboard pro....I have NO lag what's so ever...sometimes rarely you'll get lag on keyboards but clearing ram or cache seems to help restore the order of things....hope this helps a little

What's your run time
Screen time
Sleep time
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Interesting I own a Note never had any Battery Issues....
If you got a defective Unit try to take it back to your ATT Store.
I see you own the I717 Unit that's the ATT Model. ATT will gadly replace it with the same device or get full refund back.......
If it's only the Battery Issue it might not be the Phone it self just a bad battery I would by another battery it would cost you around $20 which isn't a lot of money for a replacement on a battery.....
It takes me 2 and half hours or less to get a full charge on my battery but I've never rooted my device.......
I don't know if AT&T hates your or something but I don't have keyboard lag or a bad battery.

I get great battery life on my phone.
Hello guys,
I flash twice my Xperia U to ICS and I done it well. At frist one, i made without reset factory and the second one with reset factory.
In both cases I got the same problem.
The ICS is draining battery life hard, even in stand by. No mater what, It consumes about 25% for each 4h. Using hard or using nothing.
I instaled GSam Battery Manager and it says its Kernel and Android OS.

When I used gingerbread, my battery lasted almost 2 days easily.
Android version 2.3.7. It lasted 41h and still have 19%.
Please, someone can help? I tried everything i know. No matter if data or wifi is turned on or off, it will consume lot of battery. I tested.
It seens impossible to reach 24h in this situation.
Same here
New ICS su.....
I'd uninstall the task killer and battery defender to begin with, they will drain your battery like crazy.

Try using titanium backup
Freeze all the applications and services which you are not using..
If u do a thorough search in the forumyou wil find the list of services which are safe to freeze
Set maximum cpu usage to 200mhz when screen is off..

Yes definitely u need root
I'm not using my U yet, got a sim in it, but still using my old phone for now. I'm running ICS and am getting 12-15 hours battery with less than 10 minutes use. The rest of the time it's in standby, there's a pretty bad battery bug, I've not figured out what causes it. On GB I was getting 15hours medium use (~3 hours) and would still have 40% battery left. Battery info is showing it as awake the whole time it's on standby.
My phone`s original battery lasts for one day in normal use. I bought a 2680mAh battery in eBay and now I can use my phone all day long without any problem.
Since two day suddenly the battery drain become too high at standby the BF lost 20% in 1 hours I did factory rest but it didn’t help.
what to do to stop the battery drain?
the bf is on stock and rooted

Download GSam battery monitor from the Play Store to determine what is causing the battery drain.

The battery drain during usage is within the normal, but in standby it is too high, which I do not understand!

Using the battery app see what app or service is keeping your phone awake. That would be my guess as to what the problem is. I would also suggest flashing cpalmers kernel as well, which has been really good for me in limiting awake time.

Install BatteryGuru, give it a couple days to learn how you use your phone, and watch how it saves your battery once the learning period is done. I swear by this app, it brought me from almost a day to about a day and a half as far as battery life is concerned.
I installed the Gsam battery, it shows that "phone radio" was sucking down a vast majority of the battery.

Then you must be in an area where service isn't good and your phone is searching for service which kills the battery quickly. To conserve battery turn on air plan mode and then turn service on when you get into a zone with better coverage. This will help your battery a lot.

My opinion..don't install any more apps than what you only use. You install more apps it will obviously suck more battery. What you do. Root/unlocked the bootloader and install a sense 5 4.1.2 base Rom. I came from stock and since I've installed a sense 5 stock Rom I've notice a big battery saver comparing from the original sense 4+ stock.hopefully that helps.
Thanks all
Strangely none of this helped the battery drain is too high in standby, after resting (no apps installed only stoke apps) and even flashing sense 5 rom still 15% per hour and even in Air plan mode . The strange thing during the use of the phone the drain is normal.
