Hello,
Sorry, another battery thread.
Got Sola 3 days ago and updated to ICS .54 build.
Everything is fine, but battery. Losing 1% in a few minutes just checking settings. Heck, I tried using it with charger on, it dries quicker then it charges it. I have wi-fi off, 3G off, bluetooth off, screen brightness is set to manual at around 10%, saving stanby is on, no antivirus or anything like that.
Is that normal? I've seen people have days on battery, not hours lol. This is my first android, so maybe I'm missing something there, I don't know.
Any suggestions?
Its strange imo. Its good to try repair with SEUS or do a factory reset and try again.
The other thing is if you installed some 3th party app which cause the drain.
Maybe your battery is not calibrated properly. Try to download Battery Calibrate Pro app and calibrate the battery.

May be there's some problem with your battery stats,just root your phone and follow this:

3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
3. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
4. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
5. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
6. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.
ENJOY! Hope this helps!

I've completely discharged my battery and now charging it to 100% while the phone is off. Maybe that will do something.

I tried rooting yesterday for other purposes. Followed instructions in this forum. It didn't work "mount: permission denied (are you root?)" . I checked with Root checker and it said it wasn't rooted.
I don't want to unlock boot loader because that would void my two year warranty.

Which firmare r u using?I assume you are on ICS and it seems you have turned USB debugging off,ON it in the settings->developer options->USB debugging mode and then try rooting.
If you are on .54 firmware,first flash .10 kernel->root using binary's method->flash .54 kernel.
You don't need bootloader to be unlocked for rooting.

ICS .54 . I turned USB debug on then I tried rooting. But it wasn't binary's method, so maybe that was the problem. Anyway, I won't root it just yet. Maybe I can get around it.

Dont be afraid of root, it will just give you administrator access to your system, let's say...
Then you can manage phone yourself, if you remove uneccessary apps and maybe calibrate the battery it will be ok.

You first have to flash .10 kernel then root it..54 kernel does'nt allow rooting AFAIK,then after rooting you can revert back by flashing .54 kernel.
Here's the rooting tool by binary:Click
So far so good.
-Made a backup with Sony PC Companion
-Made backup of ICS firmware
-Flashed .10 kernel
-Rooted
-Just to be safe, currently running backup with Titanium Backup
-Deleted some junk apps, though there wasn't many.
-My phone is not charging up fast enough if I'm using it.

I mean the apps which u have 'removed' by using this script can be 'unremoved'.
i'm quoting these because i believe that the script changes the extension from .apk to some other extension such as .bak etc such that the app can remain present on the system but it will not run therefore 'removing' them.
And by undo i mean changing extension back to .apk such that they can again continue to work.
But that's just my belief,i've never used it but you can give it a go.
Hope this helps.

Ok, so here's the deal.
After I updated my s3 to Jelly Bean, the following problem started to appear:
Sometimes when WiFi turns off either manually or automatically (I have Tasker which turns off WiFi when screen goes off), WiFi gets stuck at "Turning off..." and doesn't react on any actions.
The switcher gets greyed out and I can do nothing about it. The only way to troubleshot it is to restart the device. Once restarted, everything works fine, but, as you already guessed, it works not for too long. =)
It all depends how lucky I'm. Sometimes the phone can work the whole day without causing the glitch, when I'm not that lucky I have to restart the phone a couple of times during the day. <- really annoying.
The phone is rooted with Galaxy S3 Toolkit by flashing an insecure boot image.
I tried to do factory reset but problem still remained.
I have attached a few screenshots as a proof as well as a screenshot showcasing my phone's firmware specs.
Any ideas or help will be appreciated.
I would blame Tasker try uninstalling and test .

Thanks for the reply. But it seems like this is not the problem with Tasker. As I stated in my previous post, I did factory reset my phone and the problem still remained, though no third-party apps were installed other than those that came stock.
I can reproduce the bug very easily: all I need to do is to turn my WiFi on using the icon under notifications bar and then, once it gets turned on, quickly tap the icon again to turn WiFi off. At that point WiFi gets stuck.

What date is your kernel - August ? If you have a late build of JB the stock JB on my S3 had a kernel build from 19th October.
You may need to just flash back a later stock boot image you will retain root.
Fixed things for me - just extract the boot.image from a full stock rom and use the toolkit to create a flashable tar should fix your problem and improve the battery life

Did as you suggested, tested it a bit and everything works like a charm. The problem is gone, plus I now see more RAM in the Task Manager (this was another issue I was thinking about), and the whole phone seems a bit smoother (maybe this is a placebo effect, dunno).
So thank you very much and you have my appreciation.

Could this perhaps be brought to attention again please?
How exactly did you fix it and did it involve losing any data?
NVM: Just download and flash Siyah. Probably the easiest fix.

I don't know about Siyah - I simply took a stock kernel, prepared it with the toolkit and flashed it with Odin. This was pretty easy and it worked.

the battery calibration doesn't work....

for wiping battery starts you will need CWM and you must be rooted......

I really dont understand your problem...
What ROM are you using?
What are you trying to do?
Why do you calibrate your battery, this process is useless?
If you are rooted you can install CWM on locked bootlodaer if your is locked or for unlocked bootloader if your is ulocked (just check the section for your phone)

use this for installing CWM and then wipe battery stats........
if this does not help then flash stock using flashtool.......
Turn off phone completely then charge(in off mode)2hours and then turn on your phone...you should see the battery is gain like normal...
Also dont try to on the phone if it automatically turned off because of 0% battery but charge for 30 minute in off mode and on the phone then resume charge like normal....

Preface: I have zero knowledge of android development and rooted my phone myself.
Some months ago I decided to root my S2 i777.
I followed the instructions on this page word for word: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-ics-on-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/
I decided to do it after my stock was getting laggy and was randomly shutting down and throwing the battery calibration off. After reading the good feedback in that page's comment section. I gave it a go.
Everything went fine and my now-rooted S2 was no longer randomly shutting down!
I noticed though that the caera and video playback stopped aorking. As in, the screen would be black. I could still take pictures, but I would knot know what it looked like until it was taken. That didn't bother me much though since not having the phone shut down random;y several times throughout the day anymore was more than worth that unfortunate loss.
Today, though. It started randomly cutting to black and boothing constantly. My battery calibration was all over the place. It has restarted at least 10 times today.
I talked to my friend that originally conviced me to root and he said to do a factory reset. I backed up my contacts on my SIM and did so.
Now it won't boot past the screen that reads "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-1900" with the yellow warning triangle underneath (this is wha tthe boot screen changed to after rooting.).
I can not boot into recovery mode via keeping all three side buttons pressed.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Click the return to stock thread in this guys signature . Creepyncrawly has all the links http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=2916435
@GPS_Music,
If you still want a rooted phone, then rather than flashing straight stock, why don't you save yourself a step, and flash Stock plus root. The links in my signature give pretty clear directions.
Since you originally rooted with files from GalaxyS2Root, the problems you have experienced are very likely related to the quality of those files. If you avoid GalaxyS2Root in the future, and use files from these forums, you will have a much better experience.
Since you want JellyBean, after you flash stock plus root, you could follow my guide to install a custom kernel which contains ClockworkMod Recovery, and then flash one of the fine JellyBean firmwares available in the development section.
If you have any questions as you go along, feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thank you for your reply.
The main reason I opted to use that site was because of the ese of the steps, as well as the pictures. I wanted a method that was clear so I would minimize me messing up. I will look into your signature links now, but I should note that I don't recall stating I wanted JellyBean...my phone is 4.0.x last I recall, which is ICS.
Hey creepyncrawly,
I was able to download the material from your signature yesterday, but unfortunately my battery wa too low to safely put into downlaod mode (according to the phone, which read something along the lines of "Battery low! Can not download!" in red).
I tried charging it before I went to bed but it would not go past the screen that shows the battery indicator with a loading circle int he middle (which was not rotating). It would then go black and the screen would "retsart" constantly to black screens (I did not notice this until I turned off my room lights, the screen was very black but I could tell it was turning on and off).
I am trying again now to charge it but I seem to be having the same issue. I will leave it plugged to my charger for an hour and then try to turn it on.

It sounds to me like you're trying to put it in Recovery Mode. Download mode is something completely different. Here's what you can do:
- Take the battery out.
- Leave it out.
- Hold down Vol Up and Vol Down.
- While they are pressed, plug the phone into your computer.
This should place you in Download Mode. Then used Odin to flash the Stock Plus Root package.

I think you mean Gingerbread 2.3.4. Also, if you're rooted, never attempt an official update.
You can do what you want, but if you want my personal opinion, I would suggest a custom rom. If you think ICS was fast, wait until you try Jellybean. If you want a Touchwiz rom, probably go with ShoStock 3. If you want a more stock Nexus-ish flavor, give Task's AOKP a try. Just remember to follow each thread's installation instructions exactly, which means a full wipe.

Should I be concerned?\

Either of the roms I mentioned will give you a smooth interface and be reliable. And no, you can get to the instructions yourself. I'll give you a hint; the ShoStock 3 instructions are in the ShoStock 3 thread, and the AOKP instructions are in the AOKP thread.
It's pretty clear you don't really know what you're doing, so I'll spoonfeed you a little more. You're not going to use Odin to flash the rom. You're going to use CWM Recovery. You can get CWM Recovery by flashing a kernel that includes it. Here's what you do:
1. Download rom of choice and save it to your SD card.
2. Install Mobile Odin Lite.
3. Download Siyah kernel.
4. Extract the zimage and save it to your SD card.
5. Use Mobile Odin to flash the zimage.
6. Boot into Recovery.
7. Wipe Data, Cache, and Dalvik Cache.
8. While still in Recovery, install rom.
9. Reboot.
Most people will not (and should not) be as helpful as I just was. In the future, read read read. Read the stickies, search for threads that deal with issues you may be having, and read them. All the info you need is already out there, you just need to learn how to find it.

Thanks again!
Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again

Yup same problem i'm facing just tooooo carefull and i also read a lot of treaths but still i think sometimes That its not going to work sometimes the same thing would not work, deu to the fact that a Noob like me and u forgot a small step or someting
And then u had lucky u could take out the batterij.
I have 3 xperia's and all 3 can't take the batterij out so i don't had much time to fix it.
But as long as u try and say really good what u did and what u used.
Btw does everything work properly Again

Hi guys,
I've been using my Sola for over a year now and I like the phone, i got the CM9 build from freeXperia on it (FXP 210 CM 9 PEPPER) with cwm on it and loved it.
Two weeks ago trouble began when the phone was very unreliable, it rebooted several times a day, sometimes I noticed that the phone got very warm when rebooting.
I found out that there was no diskspace left, so I deleted some of the playlists on Spotify that I downloaded and that gave me back about 2 gb of internal room.
Since yesterday some processes where quitting and this happened a couple of times (it was the google media process), this morning after being on the adapter for the night the problem was still there. So I rebooted the phone (normal reboot) and then the trouble really kicked in.
When I boot now I see a message stating "Android is being updated, starting apps" then I see my normal lockscreen and the errors start rollling in.
The only errors I can see are the "android.phone process stopped working" and "NFC service stopped". When I press close on those they keep coming back, so fast I cant't even get past my lockscreen anymore.
On the phone is some very critical data to me, I have to restore that data (its in a encrypted app database). As long as I can save that data and restore it to use when the android/app is restored I'm fine.
Can someone give me advise on how to continue?

Where is that data located? If it's on internal memory in it's own directory it will remain intact if you repair/flash firmware.
EDIT: some other thoughts, try to remove the SIM or switch to airplain mode.
I'm not 100% percent sure where it is located, It's on the internal memory but I'm not sure if where it is exactly. It's a database of an app.
Won't I lose all my files on reflash? Reflash can be done with fastboot right? And I should reflash the firmware (kernel?)? Not the rom itself?
Already tried rebooting with SIM and sdcard out, no luck though.
No luck on connecting to ADB, I tried but USB debugging is turned off and my drivers seem to let me down... I can get connect to fastboot
Other ideas?

Too bad USB debugging is off.
If database is on device memory than it will be lost if you wipe data on flash. If you don't wipe data you may still have those errors, but you can take your chances and try without wiping data.
Yes with flashtool, do you have the FTF file for the firmware you are currently using?
Is it tooted and have CWM on it?
I don't have the FTF anymore, but I know where to find it.
Luckily I have CWM on it.
Do I have to reflash with the zip or just run the update?

I think best is to make your own FTF.
Start repair with PC Companion, and when it finish downloading the files and ask to shut down the phone, stop and create the FTF as explained here.
The FTF can only be flashed with flashtool.
I don't mean to sound rude but why do I want my own FTF?
Do you mean a FTF from the OEM firmware, they can be downloaded from XDA as well.
Or do you mean creating an FTF from the files that are now on my phone?

I've seen a few people hat flashing firmware they download didn't work well for them but flashing with SUS or PCC did.
I'm not twisting your hand, if you rather use FTF you can download somewehere and it works then do that.
Ok so i tried to flash the kernel, the flashing went well but the error persists.
I think it's time to conclude that my data is gone..
It gave me some headaches and I sweared a lot but i got it working again.
I've flashed the boot.img, didn't resolve the issue.
I've updated the same rom over my old rom, didn't solve the issue.
I wiped cache only (to try and see if it would work) and this worked.
So it might have been a cache problem after all.
The updating android thingy was shown again only this time it said it had to update 100+ apps, and it did. After that I could use my phone again.
First things first, lets make a backup .
Thanks ChickeD (i've thanked you on XDA for your help)

normally wiping battery stats doing nothing. its an old android myth.... but if you want do it anyway..:
to wipe battery stats, charge the phone for 1 hr to make sure its on 100% then go to /data/system & delete the batterystats.bin file. reboot.
but i think its rom bug. to make sure you can install Legacy xperia rom. if this bug still persists in this rom, flash stock ics via flashtool. if problem then still there your battery is broken

"go to /data/system" is this on SD card?
"charge the phone for 1 hr to make sure its on 100%" i tried that, on display said 100% but when battery on 77%, it will shut down, (100% - 77%= 23%)
1 more, when i remove my battery, and replace it , then i charge in off condition , no matter how long i charge my phone, its stuck on 1\4 icon (maybe 23 %)

crazy..... sorry maybe i cant really help you
/data/system --> its in root directory the 1st directory (" / ") on phone, just use a root explorer. the battery calibration app does the same. (delets this file)
okay good. if on other rom you not have this bug, its good.:good: so we can say battery is fine & also your hardware.
im pretty sure its rom (maybe installation going wrong.) bug or some other weird problem.... but cant say anything because its confusing.
also you say that battery calibration app no work on the other rom...... you can try to delete the batterystats.bin file (this is what your battery app do if charged to 100%) maybe it helps... (hope best for you)
if nothing helps on this rom, you can try a fresh install (FORMAT /data /system /cache from recovery & install rom + gapps) & maybe you also need to a flash a stock ICS.ftf with flashtool first, then install rom. it solves sometimes weird bugs.
anyway good luck to you to solve this problem:good:

XD i dont know why but im laugh when i read "crazy" and "confusing" on your reply XD
its okay
ok i will try with root explorer and try search batterystats.bin :good:
yes maybe im installing it wrong or something missing or bug that we dont know
maybe i must wait for fresh install or reinstall , because i love my app, maybe i just wait new update ROM from developer
hahaha thx buddy :good:
