Hve u tried changing the kernel and seen for now

You probably have done something else your phone will not behave this way. I have an S2 since day one and despite numerous hacking & ROM/kernel change, I have yet to experience anything like what you had posted. Another possible explanation is a weakening battery.

Tried Philz kernal, stock and one is i think joboo something like that's dun remember its name
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

well here are some possible solutions
1. Your battery was faulty meaning the one you bought was faulty bt worked for abt some charges
2. You have to many applications installed running in the background (keep the ones u only need)
3. try reseting battery gauage
4. you are charging ur phone while using applications and games which doesnt give efficient charging
5. Try airpush app to see weather there apps which are ad supported and remove them
6. try another jb rom with the latest siyah kernel which is currently in beta

try battery calibrate app

try installing betterbatterystats app (search on google play) and give a couple of cycles and then compare the log while changing/trying different kernels, and see which one works better for you.

make sure that you are not a victim of the media scanner issue:

Is the battery you just bought a Samsung official battery?

[Q] What could be causing sudden battery problems?

What could be causing my battery to go from 20-25 hours of usage down to 7 hours?
It started about the time i flashed the LA2 firmware, I use intratech frankenstein builds, never had a problem before, been flashing since the KE builds.
Things i know aren't the problem:
- apps, I haven't installed any new apps, the battery usage shows no odd app battery consumption
- wifi,bluetooth,3g,gps; I have them turned off most of the time,when i don't need them
- firmware,ROM; i've flashed 3 different ones since the problem started, no change
- bad battery stats, my battery consumption is linear, a straight line from 100% to 1% and it powers off the phone when you would expect it to
Things that could be causing it:
- cache,data wipe; i've never done a wipe of my phone
- new lockscreen, all the firmwares i flashed (LA2,LA4,KPH) since the problem started have the new lockscreen
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Lockscreen is might causing wakelocks, use betterbatterystats to look for any wakelocks.

Agreed here, sounds like a wakelock issue, I have had this before, Not sure of a fix. I have usually just moved on to a new rom which has fixed it
What is this wakelock you speak of?
I haven't heard of it before.

[Q] Constant Battery drain

Hey there,
Atm im on resurrection ics (27.05).
Im experiencing a constant battery drain in standby (about 50 mAh). I have already tried different kernels but this did not solve the problem. I did install betterbatterystats to analyse the drain but i dont get whats causing the drain. What stands out is that the android os in the stock battery analysis consumes alot of battery (im not sure if this is as it should be).
Here are some screens, i hope someone can help me..

It looks perfectly normal. Just seems that you restarted your phone twice.
Try to reflash the rom with a full wipe(data,cache,dalvik and system) and install your apps one by one to see if some of them are causing the drain.. if you can't find the solution in this way, try changing rom/kernel.. if you don't solve with this neither, make a backup of your sdcard(s) and reflash with a full wipe.

dont see what the issue is, your battery is hardly dropping anything when in standby.

youre getting too hung up on minutiae. Look at the green line, your battery in standby is barely moving. Stop worrying about tiny things and enjoy your phone

Could be your battery, maybe is damaged.
Check it, if it is a little big and isnt flat is maybe damage and you need one new.
Try doing a fully charge, but i think is the battery. It happened to me.
Nope the battery is fine.... Its flat and nothing is damaged

try flashing a diff kernel (may be Dorimanx v7.22) and then see for the issue
Hi, sorry for breaking in into other people's thread, but I've been getting terrible battery life and random crashes. I tried severeal different rom/kernel/baseband/android versions combinations and always had the phone dying on me. The weird part was that it only happened when the phone was not plugged in. When it was charging, this problem would not happen at all.
Well, after your post about the battery damage I checked mine and it indeed seems a little bigger than normal. Do you think its possible that a damaged battery could cause it?

YES, it will ma8
try with another Battery(a healthy one) may be one from ur friends phone(S2) and see for the issue, if its not there then its a confirmed hardware issue and time for a batt replacement
since a fat battery is an indication of it reaching its near end for u

Amazed the more experienced members who have replied to this thread thus far have missed the obvious & not suggested the OP install BetterBatteryStats. Something weird is causing that drain, I'm not understanding why you'd suggest someone go out & buy a new battery in the first instance when there's nothing outwardly physically wrong with the battery.
OP - Install BetterBatteryStats, have a look at the thread on here to get an idea of what kind of info/screenshots you need to post to that thread for someone there to help you out. Then do exactly that.

Thanks a lot Sir... Appreciate it... I was actually going to the store rite now to buy a new battery...
Now may be after a few days if I don't find a solution or if my battery is really damaged (can't understand why cause my battery is only 8 months old)
Thank you.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
YW I'm not saying you'll definitely be able to track down what's causing the drain with BBS, but it's certainly worth a try before you fork out $ for a new battery (especially given your phone is still usable in the meantime). If you end up not being able to find anything with BBS, then you go buy a new battery.
I repalced my battery after one yeat
But I can say tham I am heavy user
The reson I replaced it it was give me a mad reading some times up some times down with no app causing battery drian
Tell my phone begin to shut down when using any app want cpu higher frequencies
So I get new one cause when keep it on charge and use it nothing occur
I suggest you to get a new battery
And charge it well before use
Then let him drop about 15
Then make full charge
And dont let him get down 40

Hello,
I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if you managed to know what was the problem? If so, how did you solve it?
I'm experiencing something similar, but after reading a lot of threads it seems that no one knows what is the problem.
For me it started after deleting the battery stats (I know it doesn't make sense) and reflashing a ROM ( I was using the ROM before without a problem). Oh well, let me know how it went for you.
Cheers.

Battery issue

People tried to help before but failed might have been cause it was in the wrong section. Me dad and mum upgraded from 4.0 to 4.1 and noticed the phone is so slow, power saving mode no longer works as it should and the battery has at least took nearly 24 hours off the uptime. Seriously frustrating, how can we fix? NOTE rooting is not an option at all.

try a factory reset
go back to 4.0
hard to figure out without BetterBatteryStats what is draining the battery, maybe the famous Media Scanner?

[Q]S2 Heating Problem?

Hey guys!So let me be short and precise:When I am on wifi/3g my phone heats up and gets to 41º C, but when I play something like Nova 3 or MC4 it gets around 50 ºC.These temperatures are shown in CPU-Z.Once I "managed" to get 56ºC while playing and while it was charging.
The question is, how can I fix this problem?I heard that the modem incompatibility may be the problem,but I am thinking that anything else can cause this heating problem.Oh, and I forgot to say, the battery is getting empty pretty fast.I am on custom rom with the last version of siyah kernel.
