Hi,
I'm using Xperia Neo V since last 15 months. I absolutely love my phone and don't have any issue except large battery drainage. After 6-7 months of usage, i rooted my phone and after doing so my battery started decreasing very quickly. Lately, my battery has become so dumb that it decreases 1% in 2 minutes T_T. I've tried many roms(Both GB and ICS) but the problem still persists. And then i tried a battery repair app (Paid one). After 2 unsuccessful tries to get my battery repaired. After the 3rd try, my battery became a lot better than before. It lasted for 13 hrs. After 1 week, I used the same battery repair app and my battery became even more worse. Another issue is that whenever I'm using 3G or a HD game like NFS MW, my battery would jump from 30_35 % to 1%. If i leave it as it is, my phone would shutdown. If i connect it to a charger, it would jump back to 30-35%.
I'm currently on Codename X with NE 10.1 Experimental Full.
I always turn data, WiFi, GPS off when I'm not using em and keep my brightness at low setting. Haven't installed any battery eating apps like Task Managers, FB, Whatsapp. Still my battery performance sucks T_T
I've tried my friend's battery who own a same device but still the same result. I dun think it's a prob with the battery
Please help me.
I'll be thankful to u.

Hey !!
U should take the risks when flashing an EXPERIMENTAL ROM .....
Try wiping battery stats in recovery.
try flashing a stable ROM like fxp, PA,any ROM...
Please hit 'thanks' if I helped
You must learn something. Only STOCK KENREl is that you want for best battery, perfomance etc.
ALL the custom kernel uses a lot battery without doing something, just drain your battery. also custom kernel drain your PHONE life. (CPU, ram. rom, etc) . so try flash stock kernel. I recomend Gin2jellybean rom with stock kernel.
you should have a program (like battery widget monitor pro) to watch your battery. this not doing something to your battery, just watch the use of battery.
This should help you
Dude, i have a similar problem, and i had tried a many roms, all of then, are good in the first days, but the days pass and the rom start dry my battery.
So, i had installed a new rom, and i think you should try, it's the SUPER JELLY BEAN v5.5
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2108632)
follow the steps of the installation, and you will have a new phone, i hope so.

Alright, I've read countless "photon battery issue" threads and none really have a good answer but this is just ridiculous:

I went to bed with the thing charged to 100%, wake up 8hrs later, not having used it once and its at 50%... okay, whatever, I guess it was about 8 hours...
So I charge it to 80% then go work-out for about maybe 2 hours and when I'm done the SOB is at 40%- I DIDN'T TOUCH IT THE WHOLE TIME! I DON'T THINK IT EVEN CHARGES THAT FAST! I don't care if it was searching for signal the whole time, which it shouldn't have, WTF?!
Other anecdotal stories: I'm fanatical about battery life and always charge it full before going out for the night or something and I'm usually lucky to make it to bar close, a total time span of MAYBE 5 hours. How is this even possible?! The damn thing is supposed to have a 10 hour talk time?! Even if I was on the phone the whole time (which not even close, just txting and using it when you're awkwardly alone while your friend goes to the bathroom)- WTF!?
I'm extremely vigilant about charging and monitoring battery life and despite my best efforts I get burned constantly. I even have this thing on airplane mode at work (in a basement) cause it will be dead by the end of my shift.
Any one use a rom that gives a noticeable increase in battery life? Doesn't seem like many of them are mature enough. Juice defender doesn't seem to help much... do I have any decent options? I may start carrying around a second battery but seriously, that's a bit silly.
/venting.
you have a bad battery, just call up Motorola and see if your still under warranty, if so, have them send you one, that's what i did and i've noticed a substantial increase in battery life
Hey man, did you calibrate your battery when flashing roms? Battery will die faster when dont calibrate. Currently which rom are you on. also check some programs that might run in the background. Right now, im getting about 17 hours, but i am over clocked and under volting this bad boy. I posted my battery life prior to running jokers ROM. Check it out.

I think I have some issues with my battery as well. It discharges fast! I usually have it full all the time but the times where I have left it discharge cause I'm lazy I wonder how everyone post pics with 13+ hrs when I feel like my won't get even 10. Btw, my battery has been in water for a brief moment idk if that affects it somehow?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
In my experience, bad battery life is usually related to some apps or settings wrecking havoc in the background. Unless you happen to have a phone with LTE and a smaller battery of course.
I always get an average of 30 to 40 hours on one charge with moderate use on my Photon, stock rooted...
For me, live wallpapers demolished my battery life. Also, I completely formatted sd internal before flashing joker skinny.
No rom here, just rooted- lime green theme. I didnt calibrate but for a theme i shouldn't need to? Ill look into getting a battery from moto, no reason i shouldn't be covered.... Aside from rooting that is. Also wouldnt phantom app drain show in the pics posted?

I have a problem too, my battery life is about one or two hours, no 3G, no Wi-Fi.
I don't know what to do, I calibrated the battery in CWM. I use MiniCM7Prov21 too.
i have the same problem...today at noon it was 100%... now at 5pm it's 50% and i did nothing...not even a message...
...when I don't use the phone....it lasts me about 2 days....when I do use it, to check e-mails, facebook and whatsapp. it lasts me for about a day....
but does battery life depend on how much Free RAM there is available?
Well now I guess its okay now after doing some battery calibration
My battery now can last almost 3 days

Well this is my method of calibrating.... I don't know if this work on other phone but - Don't blame me if your battery faulty.
1. Charge the phone to 100%(while on)
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Delete battery stat -advanced>wipe battery stats
4. Off the phone
5. Charge it for 35 min. (I heard charging when its already 100% can harm the battery, so u can skip this if you like too)
6. Reboot then see(Rebooting use few %, so it may not be 100%)
7. Use the phone till it completely 0%
8. You can repeat this 2-3 times If you want
I also use the app Memory Booster to kill all the apps that might be draining battery secretly in the background .(Only kill user app)
The max usage vs. time was 13 hours with:
1. About 1,5 h to 2 h of music on headphones.
2: About 40 min to 1 hour of wifi
3: Few minutes of call and a few messages.
4. About 1 hour with screen on (without counting the above usages) using calculator.
5:One Reboot.
Rest of time the phone was in my pocket or in my desk, laying. In 13 hour, reached 15%
Sorry for english

About the upgrade, try using CWM Installer, it is somewhere, just use the search and you will find it. Upgrade the CWM, and then try to upgrade the ROM.

Hi, i find this very weird, my T-Mobile G2 Touch (HTC Hero) lasts easily 2 days with 1 charge. I'm now using a ICS 4.0.1 rom made by '
Glassmacka'' and i'm verry happy with it. Before this I tried several Gingerbread roms and the Cronosproject rom was the fastest and most stable one for me and my phone lasted 2 and a half day with that rom. So I advice you to try those roms.
Cheers.
I'm using decked too n i get 2-3days battery sometimes,wat i realised is battery,drains faster when mobile network is on,so i leave it off most of the time....

Have you tried reducing the max CPU speed in perf. settings? Higher CPU speeds increase performance at a cost of lower battery life
I've tried several gingerbread roms (Decked X, Cronos, Elelinux-7.1, Ligux) and they all drain the battery in less than 1 day. It's not terrible when my phone is just sitting there (e.g. overnight) but when I start using it the battery gets drained by about 1% each minute or two. When I look at what is using up the battery, Display is always the biggest user by far. I have brightness set to the lowest setting.
I tried a few different kernels, LV 0.5 and 1.0 and FlyKernel 13. I have the latest radio installed, 63.18.55.06SU_6.35.17.03.
I have tried different min/max CPU frequencies but they haven't affected the battery life substantially.
Right now I'm using the Elelinux-7.1 rom with ONDEMAND governor (245/576MHz), JIT enabled, surface dithering disabled, 16bit transparency disabled, and Compcache RAM disabled.
Your help is appreciated

yeah what your saying spot on. i generally get about a day and a few hours with the decked rom. but yes there is a horrible battery drain when the screen is on. i also find that sometimes the battery will go down as much as 2% per min or two which i'm sure can't be normal
however, in standby mode the battery hardly depletes, with the decked rom i find that when in standby the battery will only deplete by maybe 1% or 2% overnight. on a few occasions i've woken up in the morning to find the battery at exactly the same percentage i left it when going to sleep
I installed EleLinux 7.1 with the last Radio, used Swapper2 and partition with Swap my Sd Card.
The battery now is 48h before charging, with normal use and 3G always connected.

Wow, nice battery life you got there... 3G always on?... I need to tinker my hero again, I guess
Finally I didn't install LasVenturas Kernel. Looks like it will realy improve my battery life, but I read about it and it saids that USB is in beta and could fail several times.
Anyway, Data mobile connected 24/7 and 48h.
Just amazed about EleLinux nice work!!

Decked here (though, HabaDecked version) and my phone has: 1d, 20h, 16 mins and still 57% battery remaining. My display was using the most battery (40%) followed by Cell standby with 22%.
On topic:
You don't need to flash roms like crazy or change them because your battery life is poor. The rom entity doesn't have direct effect on the battery as the kernel has.
Leave your current rom (or install any rom you want - wipe everything), give your phone time to 'swallow' the new rom and 'settle' with it. Basically you did said that the battery is new and the battery isn't fully calibrated (which will settle down in 2 or 3 days), therefore the battery stats displays erroneous data!
I was wondering if someone can tell me why my S2 is shutting down all the time.
A few weeks ago the following started happening. If I use my phone intensively like for an hour or so it just shuts down. When I try to restart it, it says the battery is almost empty. Even though it showed it had at least 50% juice before the shutdown.
The funny part is that if I don't use my phone a lot (only a few calls) it lasts about 2 days and the battery goes down towards 0% as expected. And when I use it intensively again, it shuts down.
So before blaming the battery and buying a new one I was wondering if something else can be the cause and I need to send it back to Samsung.
I was using cm10.1 until 2 days ago. I'm running stock now and the same issue is still there.
Re: Battery half way, S2 shuts down
Check whether or not the battery is loose in the slot. If it is then stick a paper to tighten it.
Other reason could be your battery cell is damaged. It cannot hold the current when some activity like wifi or processor is running.
I had faced not exactly the same but something similar to this only.
Replaced the battery and all okay now.

I had the exact same problem as you, phone would have about 50-60% battery, and after using it for a bit it would power off, and when it rebooted it had like 5% battery. I bought a new 2000mah battery and it fixed the problem.

Using the battery app see what app or service is keeping your phone awake. That would be my guess as to what the problem is. I would also suggest flashing cpalmers kernel as well, which has been really good for me in limiting awake time.

Install BatteryGuru, give it a couple days to learn how you use your phone, and watch how it saves your battery once the learning period is done. I swear by this app, it brought me from almost a day to about a day and a half as far as battery life is concerned.
I installed the Gsam battery, it shows that "phone radio" was sucking down a vast majority of the battery.

Then you must be in an area where service isn't good and your phone is searching for service which kills the battery quickly. To conserve battery turn on air plan mode and then turn service on when you get into a zone with better coverage. This will help your battery a lot.

My opinion..don't install any more apps than what you only use. You install more apps it will obviously suck more battery. What you do. Root/unlocked the bootloader and install a sense 5 4.1.2 base Rom. I came from stock and since I've installed a sense 5 stock Rom I've notice a big battery saver comparing from the original sense 4+ stock.hopefully that helps.
Thanks all
Strangely none of this helped the battery drain is too high in standby, after resting (no apps installed only stoke apps) and even flashing sense 5 rom still 15% per hour and even in Air plan mode . The strange thing during the use of the phone the drain is normal.
