batterty issue with ics (4.0.3)
i charged my phone battery to 100%
and i leave the phone and go to sleep , and then when i woke up , i found out my phone 0% battery life
i dont understand !!!!
Are you rooted?
Get the Better Battery Stats app which will check if your phone is going into deep sleep and if not what's causing wake locks. If you're not familiar with wake locks,I suggest you search for threads pertaining to it on this forum and read up.
Also get an app that'll check your battery voltage. (Most battery calibration apps do this and are free) if at full charge your phone isn't around 4100-4200 mAh, then its probably your battery that's dying out.

Hay guys,
So for the first couple of weeks my battery life was awesome on the s3 and was going an entire day easy with like 40% at night before bed...
However now it is seriously draining fast, I go to work at 8 get home at 5 and I have about 12 percent left with moderately light use...
First thing I thought was maybe an app but in the battery section didn't show anything odd, I got betterbatterystats to see more detailed but don't know what alot of the wake locks are... Here are the screen shots any input/advice is welcomed!!!

WAKELOCKS ask in the better battery stats thread .

Have you changed the Rom? If so you need to download a battery calibrator from the store and reset the stats with it once fully charged.
You might have an app draining your battery, install free "Watchdog" app, and set it to monitor all processes, and it will sound an alarm if an app is misbehaving.
Also install cpuspy and reset the counter and then leave your phone for 30min or so, then check how much time your phone spends in deep sleep.

NOT TRUE.

Thanks got cpuspy and it spend most time in deep sleep... I'm Inking now it's because at work I have bad reception if that's the cause what can I do? If anything lol...

If you dont use 3g or 4g for downloads, switch your phone to gsm, A stronger signal means the phone does not have to work as hard and uses less power.
Also disable account syncing, stops your phone from waking up.

What shud i do?

Install betterbatterystat(bbs) and check what is causing wakelock. And we need more info like is data on or wifi on the whole day?

Your phone is not going to deep sleep.install cpu spy and watch the frequences because i think one app is not letting your device to go te deep sleep hope this helps

As it shows 60-70% used by 'Android OS' then it must be some app like thing!!

Just so you know data used quite an amount of battery. Wifi is better than data on term of battery use.

i had something similar not too long ago, and it was also happening first few days when i bought device the most:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871454
after few days my ICS and my battery made some sweet love i quess cuz i now have decent battery time.
read trough the thread, some say it really could be OS "learns" after some time about your battery (calibrates it)
some say its not that, anyway, i dident do anything and its good now.
cheers

Did you follow the advice of LexterAce in post #2 and install BBS?
If so, why not let it collect information for 5 to 10 hours and then analyze the dump? Almost always the dump can help you to find out what keeps your phone awake.
If not you could also post the dump and maybe someone else can help analyzing it. In the BBS thread are many useful tips and links about how to read and interpret the dump.
Hi, did you resolve the battery problem?
I am in the same situation, can you give me advice guys?
Thank's

My sgs2 is displaying battery percentage inaccurately, it may decrease by alot n sometimes increase too. The phone might off wen theres still 20% left. The latest was a drop in percentage after a reboot, attached is a screenshot, pls help, is this a software problem? Or hardware? Or batterry?

Probably your battery is ruined, and I'm saying it being careful. I also had problems with my original one, they started small but with time they grew up and I had to change it. For me didn't matter calibration or removing the battery, it just got worse every week.
Dear friend, who testing battery from china, is very big mAh. Can we use phone on this one. Battery life really will be a bigger or not ?

If you do a calibration and doesn't work, change the battery with one identical (from a friend with SGSII, dont buy it =) ) doesn't work too... maybe is the charge center from the phone and is damaged; if is it, take your phone to technical support...
I hope you have warranty, and take off al modified ROM's and Root's things.
My battery (original) drains even wen the phone is off. First i tought that my battery was broken. I bought a new accu (original) but i got the same results. After about 8 hours ive got 15% less juice and the phone was off. What could this be?
I am on NeatRom 4.0

Try to 'callibrate' your battery, and see if gives you the same results or if it's fixed: Charge your battery to 100% - turn off your phone - remove your battery for about a minute - replace your battery - turn on your phone.

I think that it may be caused by the internal GT-I9100 Battery Fuel Gauge chip, you should ask a service center, often problems like this are because of internal battery chip failing at equilibrating charges between battery cells.
You should also try to reflash a stock samsung rom (like XXLSJ) using odin, so if there's any software problem it should solve it

So i love the new JB firmware update. But the battery drain has quite a impact and drains faster. I solved the overheating problem but all i need is help or tips to increase my battery life.
All Help is welcomed. Thanks!

Try using the Easy Battery Master.
It have a formidable option called BOOST who kills all unused apps and services every 5 minutes(need be configurated to it) and also show the remaining battery in time calculated by your current usage status. This app give me something about 2-3 hours of extra battery daily.
Thanks Guys! I will try the methods! Hopefully my stock 4.1.2 battery life will improve

Then get a regular genuine battery.
After it's first year my battery started to last less and less. I've replaced it and currently having great battery life on CM+Dorimanx.

For genuine batt's always visit the nearest Samsung Service center and get one
Since almost all available on the net (online store's) are fake one's
