Hello
I updated my Galaxy S2 via Odin(PC) from Stock 4.0.4 to Stock 4.1.2. All went fine, phone works smooth and fast. But there was a massive battery drain. Therefore i wiped data/cache, did a factory reset, everything is new an fresh. Phone still works smooth and fast but battery drain doesn't change. Take a look at the screenshot. Is there something i can check and change?
Thanx in advance.
Greetings
Nicolas
Chill let the rom settle for a while, the battery is usually weird after a flash use it for a few cycles and then it should be alright

Thanx for your reply. But i cannot confirm that. Never had such a behavior. Flashed a few ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 Roms and either thery're draining or not unless i'm able to change or fix somthing. It never improves on its own. Maybe it's my bad luck only.
Do we really need another "battery drain/problem" thread?
The answers you get here are going to be no different to the other topics that already cover this so please use search in future and get your answers quicker instead of duplicating topics that add to dilution of forum.

Yes, you are right. But i read a lot about battery drain problem in the dev thread and also tried a few, ok not all, things to fix it. Until nothing works for me i wanted to upload my battery stats but wasn't allowed to because i'm a noob. Therefore i opened up a new threat to upload my screenshot and hope someone has the right advice for me or just simply says "bad luck my friend. This Roms seems not to work for you".
And sorry again if i don't behave the right way.

I;m not talking about the specific rom thread I'm speaking in general. We have plenty of Q&A/general topics about battery drains etc have a good search and read.

Yes i will.
But, generally, flashing different Roms causes different issues. Reading solutions based on different ROMs, Custom ROMs, etc. isn't very helpful. There may be general solutions for this damn battery draining problem. But until now nothing fits to me.
In the end i hope to find a solution or i will go back to ics.
Have a nice day

Your absolutly right, i read many problems, but with those stats are weird.
1) Just try to re-flash the ROM and after go to recovery and clear everything(dalvik, data etc).
2) Use the option to reboot.
3) Turn off phone -> remove the battery -> Try to turn the phone ON without battery one or 2 times -> wait 2-5minutes more without doing nothing -> Battery back in.
4) Charge up to 100% (when the icon appears).
5) Wait for 1-3 cycles and check if its ok.
6) If you have media draining check my signature link.
Issue solved, probably
I probably solved my battery drain issue while doing what CrisR82 suggested in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37227296&postcount=10017
" Battery drain is caused by a permanent wake-lock (I had that issue).
For everyone with that problem, here's what I did and got rid of it:
1 - fully drain your battery (0%, to the point where it won't power-on at all)
2 - recharge your battery without turning on the phone
3 - go to recovery mode and wipe both data and cache
NOTE: backup all your contacts, messages, whatever...this will delete everything!
(I formatted my USB storage aswell before step 1, but I think that's not necessary)
No wake-lock for me, 17 hours use, 12% battery down (only checking the clock every once in a while)."
As it seems it worked for me also. Did it yesterday evening and keep in mind i did a factory reset therefore i had to reinstall everything. Battery is behaving normally again.
Maybe this helps the one or the other.

Now, right solution
Ok, my mistake!
At first it seems that there is an improvment in battery life like i said in the above post. There is ... but slightly. Not enough, not acceptable at all.
To make it short.
I did a clean install. That's it. Wiped everthing, pumped the battery up to 100% and flashed Samsung Stock jb 4.1.2 again. And it works now.
Thanks all for your advice.

I can confirm this.. I also did full data wipe on ICS 4.0.4 then flash to 4.1.2 JB and again full data wipe after first boot on 4.1.2 JB..
My first battery cycle went up to 2d 11h 34m 12s.. now im on my second cycle.. so far is 61% 1d 2h 39m 24s..
I hope this will help.. :fingers-crossed:

Me again.
My battery drained in 21 hours even after reinstalled everything after a full wipe. Couldn't find out what process caused the drain. Used bbs and its stats say android os, screen and Android in sleepmode is using most of the battery.
I'm back on 4.0.4 now. Waiting for next jb version.

Thought I should share that I tried the same and face the same issue. Before JB, on completely stock 4.0.4 (no root), I would charge after three full days (72 hrs). Moderate/normal use - no heavy gaming. Under JB it drained in less than 24 hrs with very moderate use - mostly idle. Back on ICS i now get the same battery time as before.
I should add that my phone came new with ICS 4.0.4 installed. Two friends of mine have upgraded theirs all the way from GB -> ICS -> JB and they exeperience significant battery improvement. Being a noob, I don't understand whether this makes any difference. Simply coincidence?
All the best.

New ROMs are always smoother than previous ones, once you flash em you get in cant-put-it-down mode. You need at least 1 week to judge battery life on any ROM. A couple of days to set it up and a few days to see how it behaves.
Once you get things going you never go back, that's a fact.
Be careful on 4.0.4.

Hi all, first of all im new here and wanted help on that ROM, i tried a few already and that one is a great one, first i wanna congratulate Wolf by his job, is for sure a hard one but...
After reading tons of solutions in Wolfs thread, and even in other threads, tried other tweaks and "cheats", i still need a "right" answer.
My battery drains too fast, even more than stock 2.1, i tried everything that were said in Wolfs post as i said above, and still the same...
Some even say that doesnt matter the brightness of the screen in this ROM its almost no diference but even at less than 25% my batery goes down around 20% a hour.... yeah if im looking at my xperia, and after some minutes check it again the batery was drained 2-3% and just by leaving it on the table...
i guess something is wrong with it, something i did ofc, since everyone is enjoying new batery life, im loving the ROM just need to be sure how to fix my batery if thats done everything is alright for me and can wait for new Wolf ROMs, or even the ones with new Kernel, without changing this one, cause its really great
so if someone that faced the same problem as me, plz can do me a detailed step-by-step "guide" how to fix it i would really apreciate it.
p.s: yeah u can ask me to re-flash the ROM, but maybe is the 10th time i've made it i really saw 2.1 rom and 2.2 wolf's one changing a lot of times in this last week lol but if u have a solution and need to do it again here i go
p.s.2: wireless always off or almost, only turn it on once in awhile at home to download some apps from market but is very rare, GPS always off, have no car and dont use it in any other kind of apps BT also off ...humm i guess i have everything as they should be but the phone likes to drain my battery
Many thanks, and hope u guys can help me
Best regards from a Portuguese friend

I did experience the same issue at first with wolfbreak's CM 6.1.3, but the battery drain seems to be fixed after some updates. Have you applied the latest update v054?
-- Edit --
You might want to try to calibrate your battery by draining it until the phone is forced to shut down by itself and fully charge it several times. I noticed my phone hanged on at 1% for quite awhile before it shut down during the draining process.. lol
I'm not entirely sure if it's healthy to drain the battery this way. I know it's not when you drain it completely but it seems there's a safeguard built in to tell the phone to shut down when the battery level is critical (since my phone wouldn't just cut right off after I drain the battery, it shuts down like how it would be done manually..)
my two cents
Try what Realorasz is suggesting

Hmmm... strange. I just checked, none of those files exist on my CM6.1.3 v054.
Try it. I learnt this from a xda thread. I can't find it right now.
1. Drain your battery by itself.
2. Keep your X10 switch on and charge, until battery is fully.
3. Disconnect from charge.
4. Turn off X10
5. Connect to charge again, until battery is full again.
6. Turn on X10 and enter Xrecovery--advanced xxxx--wipe battery satats.
7. reboot.
BTW, do u use any battery widgets? Try to get rid of them(it). They always drain your battery. CM- ROM can show the exact battery number by battery icon in Status Bar.

lol! Then those files surely did not come with CM 6.1.3 by default.
One thing that's weird about the battery usage is that the % of "display screen" is always off the chart (>50%)... I just assume that's the power management issue which will be fixed in GingerBread.

My mistake for jumping to the conclusion there..
Maybe it's just my phone but after a day of use, display screen usually takes up 75% and other stuffs would only have less than 5-10% lolol (Note that's not after watching a whole movie just normal browsing, calls, texting..etc). It's quite an obvious change from what I observed where the battery usage distributions are quite even over different sources with 2.1 stock rom.
ty all for ur help, i'll try that today and see if it works, just one more question
would it be good if i re-flash the phone again "while"-"after" doing that process?
something like after my batery is drained get it full charged... blablabla... flash the phone to 2.1.... blabla get back to Wolfs ROM and then do the same step when batery is drained again? in my point of view that would be good wouldn it?

Hi. There are a lot of battery threads - a lot!, but after using search I found nothing relating to this problem.
My phone was fine up until a week ago or so. I'm on stock 2.3.5 after upgrading from VillainRom (which was great, but I just wanted stock back).
I've been back on stock since 2.3.5 released and everything was great. I froze/stopped the bloatware ect..
But the last week or so my battery drains 45-50% a night. I have wifi off and also the data network is off. I don't know what could be doing this.
Could someone help trouble shoot this please? As I said, it was perfect before, I don't think I've changed anything, wifi and data are off overnight, all apps closed.
Thanks very much.
EDIT - So I bought two new batteries and I still have the same problem. I've even went back to VillainRom 3.0
Now here's the kicker, after putting my phone on charge in the morning, after two minutes it's up to 46%. So whatever is happening it's not the battery draining, it's a software bug or a hardware bug or something.
Has anyone heard of this? And what's the best way to go about this?
Also, why would this only happen overnight and not during the day?
EDIT 2
I have attached 3 screenshots of my battery stats.

Better Battery Stats should be of help.
You'll be interested in Partial Wakelocks, and possibly Kernel Wakelocks. If you're unsure of anything post in that thread and someone should be able to point you to a solution.

Thanks. I've been trying that since you suggested it. It hasn't helped. I'm thinking it's a software problem, so I'm going to start fresh.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Maybe you can try to do a factory reset and start again from the beginning (gmail account, install apps, etc...)

Yeah, that's what I'm just about to do. I'm also reading about Villain 3.0, might give that a go while I'm at it.

Try recalibrating your battery. Drain it completely to 0 and charge fully. Then wipe the battery. Status.

I did that with my last battery, which is what prompted me to buy new ones. I also wiped the battery stats again when I installed villainrom.

DON'T DO THIS.
There batteries are not meant to drain to 0%. It could damage your batterie.
If you already wiped your batterie stats with this batterie, just use your phone and charge it when it's almost empty. Repeat this a few times. It is possible that your batterie needs to settle in and that your problem is solved in a few days.
If not, try flashing an other rom. Make sure you wipe everything (except batterie stats, because you already had).
Yep do not drain it completely.
I would recommed to calbirate your battery. It seems that your battery stats are somehow off.
Use this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
If it does not helpt do it againg and go through a few charge cycles.
If the problem still persits I would consider a factory reset.
download battery calibration from market and follow instruction.
Thanks for the replys, but none of this has helped. What else could it be?
Imho the Battery will never drains to zero, the phone will turn off before, so let your phone on until it turns off by low voltage, if you afraid ruin your battery, use the eldest, you already got 2 spare batts
I had a similare issue some weeks ago and my phone went dead 3 !! hours after the indicator reaches zero.
Maybe it helps.. (No guarentee)
Just to be sure, have you tried a different charger? perhaps yours is messed up?
BTW, i flashed 4 different ROMS in the last 2 month, and i never wiped my batterystatts .. no issue with that (for me)
Try a different kernel, based on my experience, the rom is almost nonrelevant to battery usage, the kernel makes the major difference, give Phenomenal Extreme a try, this kernel boosts your Battery for real! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351191
Turn of location service and facebook
Good Luck! Feedback appreciated..
if you wipe to factory resets, add your google account, but don't add anything else, does the same thing occur?
If so, I would say it's a hardware issue, otherwise it's probably software.
I saw someone suggest using better battery stats, and you said that it didn't help, what do you mean it didn't help? It doesn't fix anything, it just lets you identify WHAT is using the battery.
My Galaxy S used to drain to 50% overnight, turns out it was the instant messaging (using MSN) that was doing it.
Like I said, try it after a clean factory reset with just our gmail account, no MSN, no Hotmail, no Yahoo, etc and no Additional Apps
or you can try speedmod's kernel ... test 13 i think is the latest ..
works a wonder to me in terms of battery performance
I can try another Kernal, but I have switched recently.
Because of this issue, the last time I switched roms and kernals I did a clean start, and I didn't restore anything, I literally started from fresh.
I'm using VillainRom 3.0
Kernal: Siyah 2.1.1
Modem: KI3
I will have another look at battery stats aswell.
I have added some screen caps of my batterys stats to The op, I'd appreciate it if you'd have a look.
Thanks again.
I won't bump this again if there are no replys, but just incase it was missed.
Sorry.
I am on CM9 nightly and kernel that comes with it, latest updates always!
And yesterday I charged my SGS2 to 100% unplugged cable and at the morning when I checked it, it was dead! tried to go in download mode, it sayed battery level is too low! and really it drain 100% of battery in 8 hours idle!
Is it possible to fix such a issue?
Yes, by seeing what's using the battery, not by making a new thread with no useful information.

With the amount of battery threads that come up on this site it is surprising you haven't bumped into the routine of downloading betterbatterystats and seeing what is keeping your phone awake. You should also see if this happens on a fresh install with NONE of your apps installed. Completely stock with your contacts synced.
your issue sounds reasonable my device was awake on the 4/29 build, its best to talk about nightly builds in the discussion thread,charge it up and see whats keeping it awake
you wont get help without this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Cyanogen9 is still deep in beta, that means it isn't finished, that means if you have a problem it's because the ROM isn't perfect. Why would you make a forum post about this? It happened once, not even a few times, why the **** would you make a post about something that happened once and you have done nothing to get to the bottom of it? Seriously what.
There are many stable Custom ROM of Android 4.0.x that you can use instead of CM9 'Nightly Builds'....

See this. While this isn't currently a "what's the best ROM" thread, the very nature of your question will result in the same debate those types of threads tend to generate.
Someone could really like a ROM and suggest it to you, and you try it, and you might decide it sucks. Try ROMs out yourself until you find one you like. Don't be lazy.

Hye everyone, my name is Ruben and I am 35 years old, I have a small goatee and my hair is thinning and I have a question.
Yesterday, Before I flashed a new ICS rom, my battery life is at 83% and after I flashed the rom my battery dropped drastically to 14%.. and after a while my battery started to increase to 16%,17% and after a while I ignore it and charged until it reached 100%, no issues until now..
My question is why is the battery indicator behave like this? is it okay to ignore it... If it doesn't what should I do to repair and avoid this.
p/s always do the 4 wiping before flashing to public.. sorry.. before flashing new rom. using 1 rom only, and from ICS to ICS.
Thank You.
Yes it's normal, the battery percentage does that when you just installed a new Rom. Leave it a while and it probably will settle. If do not, and it is actually a pretty normal thing with my phone, change the kernel (latest Siyah Kernel, 3.3.2, it makes my battery icon goes insane).
And it happens more often when you reboot your phone.
So.....

Why the battery goes crazy more often if I reboot my phone? can you give me scientific evidence on this behavior. Is this only graphical glitch or it directly effecting the battery itself. btw my battery only goes crazy only after flashing certain new rom.
p/s: maybe siyah 3.3.2 is a steroids for battery, yeah!! gokhan steroid...

Happens to everyone. Give it a full charge/discharge cycle to settle. 'Scientific evidence on this behaviour' ? Search XDA. There are dozens (at least) of threads/posts that have been written about the 'battery weirdness' of the SGS2 in the time I've been here.
It's a statistical glitch, nothing more. If it were happening with every rom you try even after that initial charge/discharge then maybe it's an issue with the battery.

Nope, No thank you.
Hi,
I have recently (half a week ago) updated my SII to Jelly Bean from ICS. It's fully stock without root. However, I noticed right away that the battery started draining very quickly and the phone sometimes gets hot. Did a factory reset. Factory reset the phone and format the internal SD and remove the external SD. Didn't help in the slightest. Phone starts draining after resetting. I have tried to flash another stock JB ROM (XEU) and afterwards factory reset the phone again. No dice. I installed CPU Spy to see CPU consumption and it says the phone didn't go into deep sleep at all and 95% of the time it was at 200 Mhz over an 8 hour period or so. So there's a wakelock that's keeping the phone continuously on.
At first, "Media" in battery settings in Settings was the culprit, it drained about 50% of the battery. I have searched the web and it's a pretty common battery drain on JB. I did try to disable the service and its battery consumption went down dramatically. But for some reason it turned on again. But right now Android OS and Android System are both draining most of the battery. I have also installed BetterBatteryStats and according to that app there is a partial wakelock called "NlpWakeLock" by Google Services that's draining most of the battery. Last night, around 60% of the battery got drained overnight (80% > 23% to be precise). Which, clearly, is unacceptable.
I'm at my wits end. I have no idea how to solve this and because I really like the new JB features I don't want to go back to ICS (I did a fresh ICS install and the battery drained 2% overnight which is how it's supposed to be).
If there's any information you need to know let me know. Any help is appreciated!
Go back to GB with speedmod kernel is an option.

Do you bother reading the posts or just have a compulsion to post any old crap.
I see your advising people how to root,then you open up a new thread asking for help about rooting your phone.
And you are continuing to spam threads posting what other people have said already.

Do you mean going back to Gingerbread? I haven't figured out what the speedmod kernel is yet but if I were to switch back I would rather switch back to ICS. But preferably I'd stick to JB since I do love all the new features and options. I'm willing to flash another JB ROM without the battery drain issue. However, all stock ROMs that I have tried had the issue.
Do you know of any good JB ROM? I prefer to keep it as stock as possible. I did root when I had ICS installed though.
Battery Drainage is very common in JB Stock

Hey Kaigo ,
I have faced the same problem as you have faced ... Gone through a lot of problems to fix this Many of the Stock JB's for GS2 are having a lot of issues with the battery drainage
Well I had found a solution to this problem You can try installing the JB France update (XEF) & the UAE update (XSG)
It worked pretty well for me Try it and let me know if it worked for you
Regards

Wow, nice. Exactly what I'm looking for! I'm downloading the XEF update as I'm typing this. I'm going to try that and I will let you know the result.

Well repeating other peoples posts isnt helping anybody.
An update. I've installed the XEF update initially it had the same draining issue. However, I've also cleared cache and data in recovery mode and it seems to have solved most of the issue. I've got pretty good battery life now (about 1%/h idle).
But I did find another culprit draining the battery which is Dropbox. According to BBS the processes "wlan_rx_wake" and "h2_hsic" were draining the battery but I've uninstalled Dropbox now and it seems to have solved the issue. I really use Dropbox regularly though. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that?
Thanks for the help so far everyone! :laugh:

I have always had that feature disabled since I don't want to use it anyway. I have no clue what could be causing it. I want to use a packet sniffer to see what is sending and receiving data but the phone isn't rooted so I can't really do that unfortunately.
Hold on, I'ma freeze it with TiBu.
Test time.
PS: You really need to root that phone.

I just greenify Dropbox (actually, all apps which rely on an internet connection). Unfortunately for you, it requires root. IMHO, almost worth rooting for, although there's many better reasons than that.
Greenify is almost like a temporary freezing of the app, by stopping all background processes for the app. They automatically restart when you launch the app, and automatically turn off when the phone goes to deep sleep.

Wow
Im glad the XEF update helped
Well Dropbox always keeps on syncing stuff from the cloud and that might the real cause You should disable all the automatic syncing and keep it to manual sync as it syncs only on your commands and saves your battery!!

Check how much data is being downloaded. If a lot is being downloaded off WiFi, switch it off and see if that stops your drain. Then switch off Data on your cellular. Just to check which one's causing the drain. Believe it or not, I just rebooted my home wifi router and battery drain issue was over on my Galaxy S2.

I had previously rooted my phone when I was on ICS. I never used it too often though. I wanted to use Nandroid. I have no clue how to root JB though, without flashing a modded kernel (which I did with ICS).

That's very interesting. This might just be a good reason to root the phone. So I can use network log or shark to see which apps are sending and/or receiving data. I have this feeling Dropbox is going to be one of them..

Hmm, but I guess that you can't really freeze apps like Whatsapp, since you wouldn't be able to receive any messages then until you turn on your phone. But I'm getting convinced to root the phone again so I'm definitely going to give it a try.
