There was no such problems from the time I installed this ROM(the day it was released). What caused this battery drain? I would have used one of the battery calibrator apps and seen but I have read that those apps only wipe the battery stats, which according to me wont make any difference.
And now this sudden rise in the battery level while charging.

I have got this problem a few times with different ROMs, I couldn't figure out what was the cause, but only after flashing the Stock SE ICS ROM and kernel, this problem gets solved. But it keeps reoccurring sometimes and it's really annoying as I have to re-flash/re-install everything as I can't do with a phone that shows '30% battery' and in a sec '1% battery remaining, I've ****ed up things for you, Mwahahahahaha'..
Right now I'm flashing back stock ICS, but if this does reoccur, I do not want to be reflashing stock again, so I would really appreciate if anyone can pin point the cause of this strange problem and also a solution for it without reflashing stock.
Edit: : I forgot to take a SS of it, but the battery rises on its own too without I charging it sometimes.
Thank you!

Have you tried wiping your battery stats or using a battery calibrator app from the play store?
It might solve your problem.

Tried that but no good..
As I have said, I don't think wiping the battery stats would do anything much..
Thanks for trying to help though
Might be your battery need a replacement. Once i also had this problem but in your case u stated the problem solve when using stock rom. I wonder if the battery or the custom rom is the real culprit.
I also have this problem. The battery meter suddently arise even not charging and suddently drop from 30 to total blackout in an instant.
Then i check the battery and notice a bump. I notice my battery is swelling. So i bough a brand new ep500 and problem solve.
Hope it helps

I have had the problem of my battery suddenly dropping from 10% to 1% and then dead. Both the time I flashed my phone with Spartan Rom after charging it completely. It solved the problem both the times.
I think it has some calibrating script or something else.

as the title says. I am looking for ways to get my battery to perform like it did before.
I was using villain rom with SPEEDMOD kernel.and I had very good battery life. one night I noticed my battery getting really really hot while charging. then the battery life went down hill. I tried wiping battery stats, removed battery for 5min after full charge, changed to cm based rom(it was even worse). i upgraded my modem to KI4. Now I am in villain rom with SPEEDMOD, (17) kernel and the battery life is still ****.
any suggestions####. yes I could blame Android os bug. its a 2.3.5 rom and I turned off all the sync as well I have absolutely no idea how to solve this issue.

it is with minimal use. theme is not the culprit as I have tested without theme and got a similar results.

I did not want to change the ROM but I gave 'HyperDroid-Androidmeda' a try. to my surprise the battery drain was gone. then i installed ics theme 'the battery was still good'. then I set up google account and restored K9 mail via titanium backup. THEN AGAIN the BATTERY started to deain heavily.i uninstalled K9,but the battery drain had not gone, uninstalled titanium backup no LUCK. still investigating......but i know i am close
The batteries used in the SGS2 do not need (and therefor not offer) calibration.
Your problem is something else and there is about a million threads about how find'n'fix the issue.
Out of the blue, I'd blame some app you're running.

I am aware of all the other threads. I've faced battery life problems before as well but it was usually resolved by flashing a different kernel or rom. you may be right about the rouge application.

can anybody help me make sense of what is killing my battery. btw I did ude the audio recording software for an hour and also the circuits app but they are not the culprit. main problem is that the phone does not go to sleep.... and battery drains rapidly.
i for first 50% of charge i was on speed mod kernel ... there was battery drain. and then i flased the rom again, the battery life got worse.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
UPDATE....wifi was preventing my phone from going to sleep(still dont know what the real cause is)..... AFTER several ROMS and a DEAD SD card... my problem seem to be gone...for now at least. i basically flashed official firmware and flashed speedmod for root and clockwork mod. then flashed checkROM with speedmod again. fingers crossed the problem is gone.
I flashed an aosp ROM which was very unstable and so went back to the Sensation ROM I was using prior to the aosp ROM and all has been well since apart from a sudden drop in battery roughly 3 hours after flashing. I've attached a screen cap. of the battery usage screen shortly after it occurred, should it help anyone identify the problem.

I had the same problem just yesterday, it's due to the fact that when you're flashing your ROMS your battery got miscalibrated. It's a simple thing to fix just follow the instructions from this app on the Play Store (New Market for those of you without the update).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
Did you reboot the phone in this 3 hours? Coz I see this big step, which is happening when you reboot in recovery or flash something. You need to charge you phone and calibrate you battery

I rebooted after I'd configure the launcher as it was before I tried the aosp rom, but didn't enter recovery or flash anything.
I'll configure the battery and hope it doesn't happen, just wondering if anyone has an idea what caused it?
The exact thing happened to me. When you flashed your phone at a certain battery percentage (lets say 50%) Your new ROM assumes that 50% is the maximum capacity. Therefore, when you rebooted your phone it simply corrected the misreading. Calibrating your battery from the app I provided in my earlier post will delete the batter stats file in your phone and create a new one. Remember to use it when your battery is at 100%, then take your battery down to 0% and charge it back up to 100. I'm currently doing that process now after my phone jumped from 50% down to 20% after I rebooted yesterday.

It`s happening some times, you are not first and not last. Just calibrate you battery and will be fine. Good luck
Ok so I've downloaded the battery calibration app and currently charging my device however the app is displaying the same battery level as my phone.
Does this render the battery calibration a waste of time or is it to be expected?

i thought a manual battery calibration on a i9100 is a waste of time . They didnt calculate it like HTC does. Somebody explained me that this mobile got another System for that but i just forgot what for...
Mine always does this when flashing and shows the sudden drop in battery. Once you charge it back up it should be fine again I'm sure. It always is for me
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yep. You are 100% correct
Calibration apps do absolutely nothing except make you a few bucks poorer if you pay for them :-|
The best thing you can do is charge to 100%, pull the battery for a minute, and put it back in.
Also Ex Tweaks is capable of resetting the fuel gauge chip in genuine Samsung batteries should you be experiencing fuel alerted wakelocks on CM9 or similar.

Just woke up and my phone is boiling, especially touchscreen and battery. Its not switching on, I left it on charge like I do every night.
Just to let you guts know, never flashed or rooted my s2. Its still on 2.3.4 with kernel 2.6.35
Turn the phone off remove battery and let it go cold .
Then connect to Samsung charger and see what happens .
Problems
One factory reset after backing up data .
Two try a another/new battery
Three return to service .

Try with another battery, I'm pretty sure that that will help

We've had it happen when a app has "hanged" and not closed on Gingerbread. Haven't had it happen yet on ICS *touch wood* .. phone gets hot and huge battery drain quickly.. even while on charge.
Maybe a recent app you have installed has caused the hang?
leaving your battery on charge overnight is NOT the problem
I posted this few days ago, I'm having another problem now, unsure if its linked to this. But occasionally when phone on charge, I'm getting a pop up notification saying 'battery paused, temperature too low or hot'
This happens regardless of the battery or charger. I've taken screen shots of they help. Battery temp is 67 with condition over over heating. How do I solve this

Bump, anyone?
Have you a bumper on the phone or other case protection ?
Depends on which battery I use, if its the official 2000 mah battery then I use a cheap £1 mesh case. If its the standard battery then I don't use any. The extended battery is now charging.
A friend with a phone shop told me to warm the batteries up before putting them on charge and to my surprise its worked, weird since batteries were saying over heating
Most of Galaxy SII users have had good battery backup but not me, my phone once went into a bucket filed with water. Had a friend to open it up and clean it with a chemical (Usually used to clean phones circuits)
The phone was fine, then battery problems came up, changed the battery still has issues average time it lasts is for 8-9 provided i do not use it for anything but 2-3 calls or text. or 3-4 hrs is maximum. All this has happened after 4.0.4 update.

it is common when you drop your phone into the water that the battery will start having problems.
For example suddenly you get a drop from100 percent to 50 percent.
I could be wrong, you can check the guide that is in my signature for your battery problems.

The thread is FAB! but like I said I am a noob hence doing everything you suggested is tough for me to understand. Looking at things like removing live wallpapers, stopping auto sync, keeping wifi and data plan off minimum brightness. I have tried it all. Still the problem exists.
Short circuit, perhaps? My suggestion would be to bring it to samsubg and see if they can repair it. I think it's a hardware problem

Seems more like it but they say there is a bug in 4.0.4. Should I try root before handing it over to samsung or just leave it up to them?
I was always happy with my battery, but always wanted to find ways to improve it. I installed foxhound use black wallpaper and battery was even better after this, until...
I read about recalibrating your battery after installing custom ROMs and decided to try "Battery Calibration" App by NeMa.
Today for the first time ever my battery died whilst I was at work, I actually though my phone had broke as I was fully charged this morning and had rarely used my phone. My phone is on charge now and I'm trying to fix this huge battery drain, according to the battery settings the Android OS has drained 71% of the battery, that can't be right can it?
BTW I'm using and have always used stock kernel.
Here are some pics...

Don't let your battery drain to zero, charge from 20% it will train up again, and I guess this app just deleted your batt stats file and possibly wiped your dalvik. If you really wanna look at your battery get better battery stats from play store

Battery recalibrates itself after a week or so of use .
Wiping the battery stats does nothing and is just a stupid idea that gets posted by those that don't know the facts .

I didn't know this, and I assumed that people who make these app's or post about these know a little something about it, I've obviously received some bad advice on various threads.
So how can I fix this now? Judging by your post, I simply just using the phone for a week or so and it will fix itself?
Thanks for your advice,

For anyone interested or in the same situation, my battery is as good or better than ever. I just charged my phone turned it off charged again until full (about 5 mins) turned back on and just used my phone. Phone has been running for over 22 hours now and battery is still at 40%
Much happier now
