try with an alternate batt and see if the issue persists(just to confirm its really a hardware issue).
also use BBS- Better battery stats app and see what is causing the issue if its software related
got no alternate battery for this mobile
should buy new one only

after charging to 100% and same been shown by the battery mod on ur phone, have u installed a 'Battery voltage" monitor app and checked whether the voltage is b/w 4100 ~ 4200 mv. if any thing less than that means the battery is not charged properly
couldnt find app like that

Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

hey buddy sorry for the late reply..go to market and download the battery calibration app by Nema..once you installed it charge your phone fully go into the app and just follow the instructions and then you should be fully calibrated..
but download the app first
Thanks, i tried it todsy but it says root needed.
I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.
Install BetterBatteryStats from the Android Marketplace. Run it and see if there is/are any app(s) gone rogue abusing CPU power other than the display.

Have you do battery calibration right?
Use your ace until the battery getting low, then wipe battery stats, and use your ace until it turns off by its self. Finally, charge your phone (power off) 'til full. Do it twice.
I recommend you to use battery calibration app. Get it in market.

Then try flashing stock rom. If the problem still persist, I guess there's something wrong with the battery. Buy a new battery, or if you're not sure just bring your ace to Samsung Service Centre and let them see the problem.

I flashed this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480337 and was using it for like two days and everything was super smooth, responsive and so on but than I noticed that my battery percentage stays the same until I reboot the phone. I tried installing other roms and kernels, I even relocked the bootloader and went back to stock but no help. Please help guys.. I am attaching image of my battery use here which is constant with steps where I reboot..

switch off data,sync,wifi,bluetooth etc
Flash sirkays 6.1.1 ics kernel.In which you can use your phone for 2 days
Then flash hybrid rom(2.3)--I choose this rom coz it is lite and can run very smooth even in 800mhz
Then under clock your phone to 800mhz and use conservative governor

Thanks but I don’t think you understood me. Even though I do have battery problems concerning its life it is not the problem I am posting here for. The problem is that my phone is unable to measure battery percentage for some reason..

Charge your phone to 100% (421)and then calibrate it....IT SHOULD WORK
maybe reflash ics firmware or change battery or take it to repair center
Just restart your phone.
r
When I plug my charger percentage remains frozen so can’t see wen it is fully charged. And when I try to calibrate it just says 0% battery spent for example when calibrating web browsing... It is as if some battery sensor burned out or something. Could that be the case?

I can’t recharge my battery via charger. I bought this phone from some guy who gave me two batteries and charger (which can recharge without phone-see picture) with it which is not original sony erricson .One battery is orignal and one is not(see picture). So until now I used that charger to charge batteries and not via my phone. So since few days my battery percentage measurement crashed and my phone is unable to read battery status..
Any suggestions please

No it didn’t it just started couple of days ago.
The thing is that I can read my battery status via hard battery calibrator script which means that sensors are still operating. but I cant recharge my phone via usb and I cant reed my battery status on it (in status bar). Also my battery time is extremely poor - like 12 hours max on very little usage (about 8 hours of me sleeping included) or like 3-4 hours of heavy usage. Is there any one here with knowledge to help me? Thanks in advance

Hi.
I have used lots of roms to find out what the problem was but did not solved it.
My battery drains from 100 to 85 very very fast.
I mean 10 percent in 1 hour :crying:
No matter what kernel or rom i use.
Then again it wont go to 100 percent its like 96-97.
Is there a fix ?
I already bought a new battery and a new charger.
Same results with the charger of my wife s3 mini.
anyone have a suggestion before i trow it away and buy a note 2 ?

Its idle as i am on wifi and mobile date it both suck..
Nothing strange to see with better battery stats.
EDIT : i pulled the battery for 10 minutes and charged it with phone off.
It looks like its not losing percents now,
The only problem is why it not goes to 100 percent.
I installed the rom this morning.
Does it automaticly goes to 100 after a few charges?
And it started to drain again.
Anyone have a clue ?

Check Your Battery Stats. .. download a battery stats app and check which app is causing the most drainage. .. There was a media scanner bug sometime back. . Maybe It's That. . If It Is, There Are Fixes For It Here. Good luck :thumbup:

Try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. BBS is better but not free. I use this. i have a widget on my homescreen at all times.
You may just need to go through a full charge cycle to get it to 100%. It's just that the new ROM thinks that 100% is 97%. A couple of charges / drains will sort it.

Hello all
I am using Mega 5.8 for 15 days now, everything is great. . Battery too is fine works for the whole day and some more but I find it strange that after reaching 20% the battery dies within minutes and phone shuts down. I thought that might be due to new battery but after 10+ recharge cycles this behavior have not changed.
Can anyone confirm that its a common thing with Mega 5.8 or there's some issue with my device.
Also while we are at it any idea when we might get 4.3 update for Mega?

Thanks for the heads up gx3k , but just to clarify i am not new to rooting . Have galaxy S2 which is full blown modified .
I downloaded battery calib app and deleted stats like 10 times...tried to manually delete the stats bin folder....but nothing has worked . I feel the culprit is the rom .
Haven't rooted the phone but don't believe this to be a calibration issue.
May be its firmware but how to confirm unless we get an update.
Sent from my GT-I9152 using xda app-developers app
Same problem with me
Just try this . One you are in middle of your discharge like around 50% just remove the battery for 20 secs and put it back . You will see in battery you have already lost 10-12% of battery . I think this is the case of either wrong battery reporting or bad batteries. Just have to wait for a custom rom to cross check this .
GalaxyMega 5.8 battery life
Same thing here. Already tried calibration. Didn't help.
Was charging it. Removed it from the charger at 60%, I removed the battery and put it back in. The battery % then showed 74%.

Very few users complain about this, maybe because there are only a few of us or it is not an issue as very seldom users remove the battery?
As for me when the level goes between 20-30% which is usually on the 3rd day I recharge the battery.

Dude Battery callibration could help you .. same condition was wid me .. i callibrated n now my battery is MEGA now
1.Root ur fone
2.drain your battery to zero
3.short all your battery terminals to make sure your battery is totally dead..
4.then charge your battery to 100%
5.n press CALLIBRATE from ur callibration software.
i will like to tell you that some processes drain ur battery very rapidly ,, i removed some apps n processes and now battery lasts,
so i will advise u too flash ur fone completly takin ur data backedUp..

Whatever you do "DO NOT SHORT YOUR BATTERY TERMINALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE" That's a fire hazard. Lithium Ion batteries can generate massive heat very quickly and have been known to explode on occasions.
Practise good battery management by charging your battery whenever possible and keep it on charge for as long as you can. This will condition it to give maximum performance.
Remember you can't get a battery to give any more power than it has from the charge you give it.
Calibration does nothing to the battery it only allows the software to monitor more accurately.
Lithium Ion batteries should never be allowed to discharge below a preset level as they will then die and will not charge again
lol im about to create a thread about this issue, i thought its only me who experienced this issue,, i've encounter this problem as well,, everytime the battery reach the 15% or the low battery warning, it drains very fast from 15 to 1% it just like about 2 minutes then my phone shuts off due to very low battery level
oh yea,, try the *#0228# it shows the real battery %. in my experience,, from 40% battery suddenly drop to 18%. btw for the calibration apps from the playstore, it just delete your batterystats.bin which have no benefit at all. anyone who encounter this problem please share your experience
I installed Battery Notifier and adjusted the low battery alarm at 25% . It is just a workaround but it serves the purpose.

As for me when the level goes between 20-30% which is usually on the 3rd day I recharge the battery.

so.. what do you think? is this a software issue or a hardware issue?? cuz if its hardware issue, my mega and the battery still under warranty. iam confused is it really US who encounter this issue or the others didnt realize it cuz they never drain their battery until 15%.

1.Root ur fone
2.drain your battery to zero
3.short all your battery terminals to make sure your battery is totally dead..
4.then charge your battery to 100%

okay our issue is NOT about BATTERY LIFE, but about BATTERY PERCENTAGE,, DUDE.
in this review the reviewer encounter the same issue like us
"A couple of times we experienced a sharp dip in battery life when the levels went below 20 percent"

Hardware or software I don't really know.
As I use the mega 5.8 as my daily phone I see to it that I dont go below 20%. And evry other day or a maximum of 3 days I always recharge my phone. Perhaps other users have a similar routine so very few if any, complain about the issue on this thread.
