I am getting very poor battery life.
The battery drains within 24 Hrs to a dead phone.
Is it normal? I have heard, people talking about a battery life of 3-4 days.
What can I do to correct this problem.
Please help.
Hi Anand
I, too, had terrible battery life once I upgraded. I had heard that sometimes if you flash the ROM again over the last time it improves the life. I was skeptical ... until I did it last night.
My device was still at 94% when I woke this morning, and by 5pm this afternoon had only dropped to 87%. I have never had such great battery life! Never!
Give it a try. Can't hurt.

I tried reflashing the ROM, but it did not had an impact on the battery backup.
Do I need to take care of something while reflashing it.
Thanks a lot for the reply and the help.
Has anyone else had issues with draining battery life? After flushing with the latest official ROM, 30% left after left switched off O/N!!!!
Any fixes? is it a known issue?
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...i also reflashed...but it seems like the device doesnt go to standby mode after 'x' minutes of inactivity as selected in the power options. is the same thing happening with u 2?
also, are u using O2 Plus?
initial charging
have tried recharging your atom for 8 hours when you first bought it? try it. it worked for me. it extended my batt's life
Yes, I am using O2 Plus, also, I think charging of Li-Poly Batteries does not require to be charged for 8 Hrs. Infact it may result into over charging.
By the way, I am getting precisely 24 Hrs of backup when using PUSH email support with Ms Exchange Server.
charging
check the manual.. it says there u need to fully charge the atom for 8 hours.. that's for the initial charging. i also called one of the reps in the service center for atom here in the phils and that was waht he told me to do. cheers mate
Hi try removing the WM5 Battery Icon on the top bar through the registry... i notice that helpson my atom. i have O2 batery meter running instead.
Re: charging
I have poor battery life as well. Unit is discharge within 12 hours.
I have a whole lot of applications installed, so after I've reinstalled the ROM, I'd my backup fully restored.
I am wondering if that's a mistake as it might also "restore" the issue with the battery life. Anyone has advise on this matter?
Thanks!
I neva did that 8hrs initial charge since too excited to explore on the 1st touch~ hehe..
Btw, it's said many times that plug-ins that probes hardware needs extra battery power ie. memory/battery/storage. I've none of those plugins and even on a2dp stereos, the battery only drops from 100 to 80+ on few hours of mp3s. Some players can switch off your backlight and still continue playing mp3s ie. WM10/TCPMP, see their button assignment options. You might also wanna remove that battery icon on the top right through the registry. Set the backlight 10secs, slider to 1-4 and power down 1min helps me alot too.
reflashing
heya ppl...what do you mean by reflashing?Cheers...
Battery Died on me
hey the battery was low, and i plugged it into the computer jack (to synchronize), which was supposed to rechareg the battery, an hour later, it beeped saying battery was too low, and was shutting down. and it shut off completely.
now i am rechanging with the charger, and the amber light is on.... but after 30 mins of charging, i still can't turn on the phone.
when i try, the green light seem to flash onmce every 30 seconds....... and i have put it back in the charger
when it completely discharges, do i have to fully recharge before i can switch it on?
Atom Manual Help
Well, after getting fed up with my poor Atom's battery life, I checked out the manual to see what it said about battery life. It does say to charge the battery for 8 hours intially, and for the first 3 charges after that you must drain it completely then recharge it fully--for a total of 3 times. Okay, so I did this and I haven't noticed a difference (I know others say you aren't supposed to do this with a Li-Ion battery but it's in the manual!).
Anyone else tried this?
The only other thing I haven't tried was reflashing (reloading the ROM).
It seems this issue is the bane of the Atom.

Battery Drain
I already wrote about this in some other forum but this the same problem with my O2 with Bluetooth not more then 8 hours max. Without bluetooth. 20 to 24 hours.
I never leave any application running I use the memory settings to close all applications.
I still do not find any diff. I have closed the IR, I have reduced the backlight time to 10 Secs. I have reduced the backlight to 3. No change.
I have already complained about this to O2 but no result. They are probably stuck with Windows people not supporting them or with no solution. They are not even responding now on this issue. TOOOOO BAD
I hope someone can find a solution.
Flash the ROM exactly as per the procedure. Normally the last part is not read properly. After the ROM is flashed they ask to reset the device twice. One time a Hard Reset and another time a soft reset before you load the data and programs. If you follow the procedure properly maybe you will solve the battery problem like me and many others.
If you are using bluetooth switch it off and check you will come to know the exact battery life. Secondly in settings keep IR off. Backlight a bit low 3 or 4 as you get proper vision, without reflection and most of all saves battery. Most important close all programs by going to Settings>Memory>close all so that all applications will close and not consume the battery. This is a windows software flaw which needs correction but no one does anything for it, not even microsoft.
I am getting poor battery life with New ROM 20060426 i also reflashed but nothing
it's the same prob with old roms ??
thanx
did you perform reset twice after reflashing? first rard reset, second soft reset?
thanx kropotov with reset twice after reflashing all ok . after 24 hours battery still in 75%
thanx
I hope hope you guys can help me with my battery life. And yes it's another battery life topic!
The thing is, I've got a lot of problems with my battery:
My battery only lasts 10-12 hours when I barely use it. This is a lot shorter when I actually want to use my phone
In the top left corner it always says my battery is full even though it's not
When charging battery, the percentage goes from 70-75% to 100% instantly
The battery stats are incomplete. Since unplugging this morning the stats say it's on battery for only 9 min.
When looking at the app betterbatterystats the data is incomplete aswell.
When unplugging the phone the battery percentage stays on 100% for 1,5-2 hours until it counts down, fast. In Battery Monitor I can see it goes from 4982 mV to 4181 instantly
The things I've tried to fix it.
Setting brightness to lowest level
Reset to factory settings
Hardreset
Disabling Sync
Clearing cache
Clearing Dalvik cache
Clearing battery stats
Calibrate battery
Stock kernel with Lite'ning ROM 6.1
Speedmod T41 Kernel with Lite'ning ROM 6.1
Disabling HSPA
The strange thing is, these problems started occuring around 4-5 weeks ago. I first thought I installed some app which was killing my battery but reseting to factory default and uninstalling all app's didn't help one bit. Are there any more solutions I can try solving it myself or is it time to send the phone to Samsung (and thus having to do without the SG for 2-3 weeks)? Hope someone can help me with this.
Current specs:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version I9100XXKH3
Kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected]
Build number Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3

Possible faulty battery .

Reset Battery Stats .
When charging battery, the percentage goes from 70-75% to 100% instantly
Faulty Battery/charger
The battery stats are incomplete. Since unplugging this morning the stats say it's on battery for only 9 min.
This is more like hardware/charger/battery problem .

Currently your warranty is void with rooted phone and or custom rom Samsung may not accept a warranty return or may charge .
Suggest flash stock rom or your original rom clear custom rom counter with USB jig .

Hi, i bought tattoo from another user... to encounter a problem with battery, when i charge it-it never goes 100%, but charges to for an example 33%... then it instantly drops to 16-17% until it reaches to 1% (fast dropes)...but it stays like that for one or two days (like it has been charged to 100%). I did a factory reset-it dind't work (offical rom, not rooted). I first tought it was a rom problem it self... then i rooted my phone and flashed cm7 (wiped all 3 times)... and the problem still presists. I dont know what to do... i tried to put my batt. to another tattoo, and it works fine...also tried another charger, doesnt help... i dont know what to do. Please help....
Thanks.

You could try wiping the battery stats in recovery.
Thanks for fast reply... but i already did that...
Try to recalibrate your battery using any app for that purpose from the play store
Sent from my LG-P350 using xda premium
i did a battery calibration, i did a wipe batt stats and even flash a different ROM, but just 2 days ago, my battery is drop like crazy. some are 10% drops, some are 20% drops, and it's not like just one time in a 100% charge, but 2 times or 3 times, like from 80-70, then 60-40, then 20-10. and the more arresting issue is that, the battery drop does not correspond with a slow decrease in any of the stages. battery still discharge as per normal usage albeit quicker (2-3% in an hour) compared to last time 5% in 2-3 hours. i've used MIUI and WIUI, and the problem started when i was on WIUI 2.4.20 and did all the what nots above, and i flashed to MIUI 2.4.6 after all that didn't help. and it still didn't help.
can anyone point me to a direction??
Recently installed Safestrap 3.05 in motorola droid RAZR having stock 4.0.4. Everything else works great but as soon as i create a ROM slot the battery falls to 95% and when i install a new ROM the battery meter meters shows fully charged at 95%. The battery then starts discharging way faster and the back cover also gets heated up
But when i go back to the stock ROM the battery is on 100% even though it shows drained to 85% in the custom ROM. And the coustom ROM battery monitor shows the android OS to be using around 50 to 60% of the battery.
I tried syncing up the battery levels by uninstalling safestrap then charging the battery to full and then install back safestrap. I tried installing different ROMs but experienced the same battery draining problems. I also tried resetting battery stats but without use
Normally battery life is up to one and half days with normal usage. But in the custom ROM its barely 6 to 7 hours.
Has anyone faced this problem ? Is there any method by which it can be rectified ?

Had tried it. Tried draining it to to around 5% and then recharging it to 100%. And the thing is it doesnt show 100% in the custom ROM. As soon as i reach 95 it says battery full. In the stock ROM it works perfectly fine. Presently i have the custom ROM installed. In it the battery is 86% and when i reboot and go into stock it shows that my battery is fully charged. I initially thought that if this is just a stat error it wont be a big problem as my battery still will have the juice to run the phone. But later on the back cover seems to get hotter. Its as if the ROM is trying to discharge the battery even though not needed. I dont know if that is possible but thats the thing confusing me. And it doesnt seem as if other people are having this problem. Dont know why.
Hii everyone
I've got some really weird Battery Issues on different Lollipop Roms (CM12, ResurrectionRemix 5.3.5-5.3.7, Beanstalk and SlimLP).
The problem is, as soon as i restart the phone the battery percentage drops from 50% to 13% for no reason.
If i charge the phone later suddendly the loose percentage are back, but the phone consumption more "battery" so it's sooner at 0% as normal.
Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)
Regards Kun1

I've had these problems when I first bought my phone used off eBay. Phone battery was very erratic. After a reboot battery would be less than half or nearly 0 even with 80%+ battery. Or would shut down with 5% left. Or drain battery a lot quicker than normal.
Soon as I bought a new battery my problems vanished. My battery would stay solid no matter how many times I flashed a new ROM or rebooted. BUT after 3 months these drops have started to happen again with reboots. Not always like before, but they're happening.
I think it's down to battery conditioning. The way you charge and discharge your battery. There are set ways to charge a phone to maintain battery health.
How does your battery react without rebooting from a full change to shut down? You shouldn't need to reboot a phone with a good stable ROM once you've set it up the way you like it. Also calibrating you battery or wiping your fuel gauge meter to often isn't good practice as android and your phone will do calibrating itself after some time and needs the information that these starts provide.
Battery jumps seem to happen with a lot of S2 users. Maybe a flaw in the design of phone. But good battery practices are important, things like not leaving your phone charging overnight. Batteries don't like being left on charge when they are full. There's more info out there on XDA that I can't remember myself as I am guilty of bad battery practices as I use my phone all the time and don't have time to full charge cycle.
Yes same problem
Battery drains really fast when restarting
Any fix for this?
I am hiving battery problems too. Battery is dropping % like it leaking or sth. Last time my phone rebooted due to full ram and it dropped from 50% to 12%. I left it like that. After some time battery re-charged itself from 12 to 23 % ! Phone was lying on the sofa without connected charger ! Should i clen fuel guage chip or my battery is EOL ?

you have to reboot for example if you install xposed and new modules i've calibrated the battery just 3 times i think this isnt too much?
and i understand the problem with charging overnight but there's no other solution for me :/

Forgot to say, if you want to avoid battery drops when rebooting make sure you plug your phone into charge before rebooting. Thus should stop battery dropping afterwards.

The battery often drops when the phone hangs at work and reboot from itself so i have no chance to plug it in.
I have same problem, battery drain too fast & after reboot same time battery level is "falling" at one moment twice. At first, I think it's a battery problem, but battery work fine at CM12 mod, and have problem at SLIMLP 5.1.1 mod. When battery "falling" it's not heating, which means no real discharge.
