Hi, today I woke up and noticed that overnight (7 hours) my battery dropped from 99% to 47%. I looked in better battery stats and I noticed that my phone was running at 900CPU all the time. I really have no idea how can that be happening, until today everything was fine and I haven't installed any new app. I am running Omega 29 with Phenomenal normal kernel. Would full wipe and reinstalling ROM help?
Thanks

Check your battery stats and see what it was doing, could be anything from Apps running in background (Sync, GPS...)
If there is an app there that drained it, you don't need to get rid of it, put your phone into Power Saving or download a 3rd Party app called Juice Defender. That will stop it. Also if you don't want to do that, you can just Force Close the App that used your battery at night and leave it at that.
Oddly tested mine overnight wifi and gps off 150 apps .
12 hours 2 % drain and that's the usual .

Delete Facebook.. , Disable media server,
Two things to keep your CPU awake..
I checked all of that, but like I said, only thing I noticed was that phone was running at 900CPU all the time, and I don't know why.

Since it's Omega go into S Tweaks Scroll down the bottom to CPU Scaling and select one of the others on the Drop Down Menu, (pegasusq) try the others. Hopefully that will do the trick. Do not underclock the device under 800 as it will c*ck up the phone.

Isn't that for Siyah Kernel only?
I'm having similar issues of battery drain on Omega V29 and Siyah Kernel but its mainly when the screen is on, my current cpu scaling profile is set to 'lulzactive'. Could this be the cause of my drain?

If in doubt Recovery Mode. Wipe data/cache then Calvin and fix permissions. Then flash Rom again. Check each app you download their permissions and comments

I would like some help from users having same issues. I bought my SGS II About 3 weeks ago... It was all working fine... stock KG7 not rooted. A few days ago it started doing some weird stuff... like random reboots during standby and freezing unable to turn on unless you take out the battery... tried to restore factory setting i installed the new LightningRom 6.1 and the issue is still there... is there a logging app that can save log before a crash? so i can see what is happening? Or is someone having the same issue as i am. Thank you very much for your time and help Cheers
PS. tried to format usb storage and still have same problem... so really don't know what is the problem...
I have finally found a solution... installed XXKH3 FW stock, not rooted yet, and installed an application from the android market called Load Monitor
Code:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.landak.loadmon
and enabled only Add Notifications, only notify high load, autostart and only screen on... seems to do the job, no battery drainage and most of all NO SOD (Sleep Of Death) or restarts anymore
Hope it helps someone

Had to turn on Wake Lock. That means my phone doesn't go to deep sleep anytime. Tried a bunch of roms and all the same result. Tried setcpu configs of all kinds and nothing still. Still get freeze up and insane battery drain durring deep sleep. What helps is flashing syah kernel an putting min cpu freq to 100 that way not that much battery drain.
Any1 have an idea what to do?

i also have the same problem on my gt-9100T and still it is still happening. first time it happened when i uninstalled social hubs. at that time i was running lite'ning rom v6.1 and only used the phone for 1 month. then the freeze/ sleep of death occur.
i have tried flashing to stock rom/modem/kernel from intratech thread to no avail.
some people can fix the prob by cleaning the battery contact point. some by cleaning the mini usb port. still no luck for me.
right now running on criskelo latest build (KL1 2.3.6)with T-KL1 modem, siyah .9+ and the problem still persist.
so, installed load monitor and u/v and set the min freq to 100Mhz to preserve battery but still can only last 12hours even unused.load monitor seems to use a lot of juice. very frustrating. i need to tick the wakelock option otherwise SOD right after the screen is off.
I am still hoping someone/anyone who might have the solution the share with us all.
is it a good idea to format /system + /emmc + everything? i have done full wipe, still no good.

I'm having the exact same issue. Some stock ROMs seem ok for a while but the issue always returns.
I've tried literally everything I can think of. Done so many full wipes etc but the issue will not go away.
I feel your pain people!
I have the same problem as you im using what you are thank you for that app.
what ive done
SIM card = Removed
Mirco SD card = Removed
so far no problem
thank you..
im trying to get the last thing it did before the phone crashs
I just installed Load Monitor... I just wonder, what exactly is Load Monitor doing? or supposed to do?
This SOD is driving me crazy, I hope it gets fixed

I have the international version and the battery drain in standby is a big problem. I lose about 1% every 5-10 minutes. I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network. I've been using GSam Battery Monitor to locate the problem. I saw Facebook woke up my phone for about 500 times and I deleted it. However, I'm still experiencing this issue. In 5 hours Google services woke up my phone 47 times (in included packages it says: Google Contacts Sync; Network Location) and Maps woke it up for about 20 times.
I'm rooted and I'm running stock (LH1). No custom kernels or modems. What's the problem?
EDIT: Also, the drain is happening only when I'm connected to a Wi-Fi network (I noticed it's much slower while I'm on mobile data)

I've turned it off and as far as I've seen it didn't fix the issue. However, I will leave my phone for a couple of hours tomorrow to see again. There are apps for which I have to have it turned on (Foursquare, Maps etc.) so that's a bummer.
Even I am having the same problem of battery drain. Will it get fixed if the change the battery considering I have two 2 Galaxy S3 with the same problem of battery drain.?
Also I want to root my phones, but is there a way to root the phone without the warranty being void?
I've been experiencing some minor battery drain issues and what I found is that if I log out of all the apps I'm logged in to, my battery drain is significantly better. Not a perfect solution but I'm slowly figuring out which one is causing issues.

Do you have the "Cell Standby Fix" ? I doubt ithat t's a matter of location!!
Hi I got this phone couple of days back. It came flashed with latest Android 4.0.3 (20120608-154131)
I have rooted it using zopoROOTby_Jaynes_android4.0.
It's working fine, but seems the battery life is ridiculous and the battery information is also not reliable, especially after restarting the device
(Sometimes it suddenly decreses a lot and vice-versa).
Also GPS, I tried it out in the open for like 15-20 mins it finds 4-6 sats but DOESN'T lock on.!
And then the market had some incompatible apps, I did the XML trick, didn't work...removed the 5 files again and then gave up, all of a sudden after a restart, market is fully accessible!! (Weird!)
I have backed-up my apps using Titanium free but I want to install CWM recovery. I do not know the exact procedure to follow for the same.
I just want to have the CWM recovery and not want to flash whole ROM again...How to do it???
Also please give me any important suggestions, tips if you have regarding this phone.
Thank you!
Anyone have anything to say?

Is the phone going in deep sleep? (install cpu spy to check). This could be your battery problem. WiFi/3G/Bluetooth and some apps can keep the phone from going into deep sleep. You can try to edit build.prop to help it go into deep sleep.
The gps - theres some things you can edit in gps.conf and secgps.conf to get a faster fix (like changing time servers and how a-gps works).

Thanks for your helpful reply! I installed CPU Spy and here's what I found!
Seems, it's keeping at 1001 Mhz all the time!! Am I right??
Are there any other ways around it than editing system files??

Yep, looks like it is staying at 1ghz, you can install an app like setcpu to manage the cpu frequency. You will probably be limited by the kernel when it comes to governors (no undervolting either).
If you are not comfortable editing the gps.conf/secgps.conf there are apps for that I think. But it is quite easy with a file manager (root browser for example), the gps.conf tweak is to change the " NTP_SERVER= " to the closest server to where you reside from this site :
http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
For example if it says NTP_SERVER=0.europe.pool.ntp.org , (edit: noticed you live in India, so you would do it like this):
NTP_SERVER=1.in.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=0.asia.pool.ntp.org
NTP_SERVER=2.asia.pool.ntp.org
If you want to see more on these gps tweaks(I would just do the time server tweak since it works on all phones, I'm not sure if the secgps.conf tweak works with your phone), check out this thread (it's been updated at the bottom of the first post) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1320626
I'm not sure about CWM, I think it has to be tailored to the phone itself because of the location of the recovery partition.
Edit2: I noticed in the picture that your phone has 1ghz , 500 mhz 250mhz and 166mhz. You can add a profile to setcpu to set the CPU to max 250mhz while the screen is off for example. This wouldn't fix your deep sleep issue, but would save battery. (Deep sleep is some parts of the CPU turned off, while some parts stay on)
Thanks again! I have set it to 250-1001 ondemand and apply on boot now. But 'deep sleep' is still unused as per CPU spy, Any clues as to how can it be enabled?
About GPS, I can do that. Just that I could live without it for now, but thanks for elaborating it! I will do it tomm. Morn, its 2:39 am.

The deep sleep issue is probably related to some apps keeping the phone on (could be kernel problem also, but I'm not an expert on that so can't say). You can check wake-locks with betterbatterystats. Also, rebooting the phone helps(rebooting after charging also helps I noticed).

Thanks for your reply. I think it is more of a Kernel problem only.
ust found out using Batterystats that As soon as I get a message or notification, It triggers LED light and a WAKE LOCK (Called 'Leds Wakelock' ) Which prevents phone from going into deep sleep, and it remains that way hogging battery! Only solution is to REBOOT and hope you don't get any notification!
BEFORE REBOOT
AFTER REBOOT
If your phone has a cyanogenmod rom (I haven't looked into the popularity of it), there is an option to turn off the LED notification in the cyanogenmod settings. Does Zopo release the source code for the kernel / rom?
I read in the other thread about the phone having issues when not in the performance governor, that is a shame, maybe the voltage is adjusted lower at lower frequencies causing the reboots.

I don't know whether it is cyanogenmod (I don't even know what that is..) But my phone doesnt have ANY option regarding that. But
Here's a good thing, since I restarted to take screen shot I've had several notifications LED flashes, and the 'LEDS Wakelock' hasn't reared it's ugly-head!
ALSO I have again set the Governor to 'On demand' and now it seems doing better no Hang up for a good time played AB space. going good!
I think that LEDS Wake lock was root of all troubles. Will have to keep a lookout for it.
Thanks a lot for your guidance!
Have you come up with a solution that can kill that wakelock other than reboot? From my observation that leds wakelock only happen when the battery's going low (<15%) and it won't go away after that.
Dirty solution is to patch framework-res.apk and modify the level of battery low notification.
I am using a newer custom ROM 100500 v2 and no longer have any issues with wake locks!

Hi,
I have found that my battery which currently is still the standard one drains very fast and my phone is getting very warm.
However I have noticed that once my battery hits 50% it cools down and does not deplete so quickly.
I do have a programme that is left running which is a VOIP / SIP client I use CSipSimple.
Is there something that I could try to get the phone to last longer on the battery?

1. Post your ROM details. Goto Settings - About, post everything, preferably a screenshot.
2. Post screenshot of your battery info
3. Download better battery stats (paid in playstore, free on XDA), and check what's causing the problem.
4. Download cpuspy, run it for some time and check your cpu usage
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Hi,
Ok I have attached a few screen shots as asked
I have downloaded CPU SPY and will leave this to gather some info and I have also downloaded BATTERY SPY and will do the same.
Do you have a link to better battery stats?
I have also noticed that when I leave my phone on when charging it gets very very hot and sometimes does not full charge after a 9 hr charging window.
However if I switch the phone off it stays cool and is fully charged.
First try to remove your external sd card and check if problem has been solved. Sometimes if there are corrupted media files or there is huge amount of such data, media scanner gone crazy and bootloops itself when trying to index them all.
You could use some kind of apps to disable media scanner (old Nitrality or something newer like Rescan Media ROOT) or remove your movies, music and pictures temporary from phone. After that wipe data of media storage and gallery from settings-applications menu and reboot your phone.
Of course do not overclock your phone. You could also try to set it in battery saving (eco) mode when charging. Disable all wireless communication (mobile data, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS) and turn Airplane mode on.
Sometimes phone is getting hot while playing games when WiFi or mobile data are enabled. This could be kernel related issue (if custom) or inproper to your baseband Radio Interface Layer (RIL) driver installed. You can fix it by installing Getril from playstore and downloading ril corresponding to actually used baseband.
Of course it could be also some crapware on your phone installed. Or configuration issues (scheduled tasks, etc.) I don't know what kind of apps you have got on your device and how you using them. If your problem persist than try to factory reset your phone to be sure that this is not some kind of app issue.

i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
How do I find out which RIL I need and where can I download it from?
You can choose it in this app. Tap on the ril above 'Download & install Ril ' button and select one which match your baseband or leave this proposed by app and hit mentioned above button.

Thought you would say that I have tried that but it still tells me the RIL and Baseline do not match after I have installed it.
In this case you could try to flash LPA modem (for this one you have ril installed). Or flash any other modem you like and than change your ril.
Reboot after changing to be sure it's properly loaded.

I have installed I just hope I have set it up correctly
I'm getting similar issues, phone heating up, battery draining very fast. I've recently brought a new 2500mA battery from Ebay, and have been getting very fast drain issues. It has been going on for a few days now, even before the new battery. If you could tell me how to set up better battery stats, I'd happily provide you with a dump. I've tried changing from ICS to JB. Downloaded the correct RIL. Reset the fuel gauge, calibrated the battery at 100% Only thing I've not tried is gingerbread (I've never had GB on this device) and starting over with ODIN.

1. post your ROM & kernel details
2. Download cpuspy to monitor cpu activity of your device
3. Download better battery stats and check for wakelocks

I'm using the latest Resurrection Remix Jellybean rom with Siyah Kernel v.4.1.2 . I'm gonna put my standard battery in for the night and leave the betterbattery stats running. Still not sure how to work it. Do I just install and give it roof access? I've flashed back to stock using Odin and the drain was still present.

Yeah, install, run and give ROOT access if prompted
Also run cpuspy, then leave your phone for some time like say 1 hour or overnight

Hi everyone ! I'm on Omega v35 (Samsung) Rom and 3.0.36-Perseus-alpha29 Kernel. And I have these connected accounts: Dropbox, Facebook, Google, Microsoft Exchange and WhatsApp.
When WiFi is on I loose about 2.2% per hour. (Google Now is disabled, GPS off, Data off, CPU almost all time in Deep Sleep)
When I turned off WiFi I've been loosing 0.8% per hour (other settings remained same).
So my question is, is this normal battery drain ?
In BBS I've noticed that my most active Wakelock is: AlarmManager (Android System) and Kernel WakeLock: Battery-monitor
I've also attached BBS Dump file.
Thanks for your answers
2.2% is not that bad yet. Wifi uses lots of power, especially on some routers that (it seems) do not allow throttling of transmission speed during sleep or that are far away.
Especially considering that you have 2 out of the "bad 3" installed (which are: Facebook, Skype, Whatsapp) when it comes to battery drain it's not very surprising that the AlarmManager (responsible for waking up your phone when there's stuff to do) has a high count.
Battery-monitor is the stats itself. As long as it runs it obviously needs to periodically collect data.
I guess it won't be possible to root the phone and give another BBS stats? Those are far better and if using Siyah more detailed.
Also, please include a screenshot of Android's own battery graph (in full-screen,not the one with the apps beneath) since that shows the wakelock distribution
Thanks for your answer, the phone is rooted, but I forgot to enable rooted options in BBS. So I'll leave it for the night and then post BBS stats and screenshot.
Maybe this question is little off topic but you've mentioned Siyah, I've flashed Siyah but when I entered Recovery there still was CWM recovery (which was odd because I had Galaxy S2 and after flashing Siyah I had Siyah recovery) so I've wiped everything flashed again but nothing changed, I've checked in System info under kernel and it showed that Siyah was installed and I could run STweaks normally.
Is this normal ?

Maybe try other modems?
I'm running Omega v35 and Perseus 27a and I've noticed worse signal/higher drain compared to v34. I flashed BUELK1 modem (AFAIK it's the one from XXELKC, Omega v34) and I'm loosing about 0,5% per hour again (wifi, data etc).
Although I'm not using any auto sync, my GPU/CPU is UV'd and I have some apps frozen in Titanium

Does anyone have tried perseus 29.2 with omega v35. I wonder how battery performs with them.
So I've left it overnight again (same settings as in OP).

First thing I noticed that your wifi is on all the time.
Let it turn off once your screen is off.
Settings > Wifi > Advanced and select wifi on while sleep, never.
If I do that will WiFi be reconected from time to time to receive notifications from gmail, whatsapp etc. ?

Use DS Battery. It turns off wifi when screen is off but will let it connect every designated period to let your phone sync. I get about 20% drain overnight over 8hours. I UVed all my clocks so I'd say yours is pretty good.

No, it turn off your wifi if your screen is off for some time. I am not quite sure, what's the default value is.
After wifi is off, device use mobile data to receive notifications. Also, you should disable auto sync because that's also major battery drainer.
I get 5-6% battery overnnight.
