I have noticed recently that my phone's (SGS II I9100) radio takes much excess battery than the screen and sometimes even in the idle state the battery seems to drain relatively fast and all this happens still when am using the phone in GSM Network mode
The battery depletes very fast..
Any fixes for these issues??
There are dozens of factors here:
Weak signal strenth, battery condition, running services, heavy usage, constant BT+GPS+WiFi, bad radio,high brightness, buggy ROM, overclock/overvolt, constant syncs, no deep-sleep, radio and ril incompatibility, hardware fault.... anything could cause your battery to drain fast.
Provide more info on what is your phone running including BBS and battery screenshots.

And can u plse explain about the over volting??
And recently i updated my fone firmware n in the end it prompted tt it had failed to install somethin..
Could it b an issue??
And regarding the hardware fault.. How do i check on em??

You need to get betterbatterystats to see what's keeping your device awake.

Ok how do i check using better battery stats??
My device isnt rooted yet

reboot and check kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks since boot.
no root required.

ok, now you have to get betterbatterystats to fallback at boot.
reboot your device and get screens at the end of the day or after 2-3 hours.

I have a problem with my battery I have my new sgs 2 and I rooted and did a new rom and all but my battery is draining really fast under moderate use! 3 hours of moderate use and I lose about 30% battery! What can be the problem? I calibrated and did speedmod kerenel, still heavy drain... in sleep mode I guess it can last like 2 days but I want to use my phone constantly without loosing so much battery
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
As far as I can tell based on this information, you have no drain. It's normal that the screen consumes power. If you standby time is 2 days, then you have no battery drain.
Lower your screen brightness and avoid using white colours. And no there is nothing else you can do.
But I see slot of people who get 10 hours of use on moderate and even heavy use,.. maybe it's my rom? I use rarity rom with speedmod kernel, maybe I should use checkrom?

No one gets 10 hours with screen on. Thats what you are talking about right? You get 3-4 hours max.
So 30% in 3 hours is normal and not bad.
Right now I got left 58% battery after almost 3 hours of moderate/ heavy use like YouTube mostly fb internet n stuff, is that normal?
I got almost half brightness with 3g always on
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Yes .
So is there any particular rom that is known to save battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
yes, there is a way to save more battery - use common sense.
Srry I meant to write rom but galaxy must have "fixed " it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Whichever ROM makes you not use your phone. Probably best to choose the worst looking one you can find, so you're less likely to use it.
You still don´t understand it. The screen uses power. No matter what rom/kernel you use.
I do get it but isent there any rom that actually saves battery?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
No there isnt, at least not afaik.
Get urself Android Assistant, switch to Tools and check out Battery Use. If u click on the "Other" button u'll see exactly what drains the most power. I'm almost certain it'll look like this:
Display
Android System
Android OS
Display can only be reduced by brightness, auto-rotate screen and Auto adjust screen power (See Display settings)
Android System includes many packages. (Look up the details in the Assistant to see which ones u can kill for now)
Android OS is mostly ur CPU clock. U can get urself SetCPU (root required) to lower ur clock frequency (mines set to min 200/max 800; on demand). Everyting runs smooth and I dont see any difference besides 2-4 more hours of battery
Dont set it too low or it wont start up anymore!
The Assistant quick boost widget is also pretty useful. Just click on it and it'll kill all unused apps increasing ur TTL, even if its only a lil bit.
Hope this helps!

Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?
Check for wakelocks.

Brilliant. Carry on enjoying your 5-6 hour battery life then.
very funny
It will help also have you checked what is consuming battery? Do you have data, wifi or bluetooth on?
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yes I checked everything. I have wifi bt 3g off, screen 40% in battery usage it says screen eats 70% battery and the rest is some apps 2-3%
You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it
Xperia x10i
DonutHD
DoomKernel v6
Unlocked and unbranded.. Bye bye vodafone
I would give you some help on it but I don't think you will think that would help.

Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.

Mine is 28 C and I'm using phone for more than 2 hours, internet browser. If you tried differents rom and kernel and still nothing, I suggest you to clear up you phone. Reboot in recovery, mount and storage and format system, data, cache, factory reset, boot in download mode, flash stock ics rom, then root with cf root kernel. Then install again rom which you're using at the moment.
I9100 has the highest heat emission (my brothers 35 degrees)
I9100T is better (mines 28 degrees)
I9100G has the best i hear but i cant confirm that
The best you can do is find a good modem, as i noticed ever since i switched from LPQ to LP6 i've heated up a lot less
i also use siyah so i think that doesn't cause huge amounts of heating, as mentioned before always close apps
Hope this helped and good luck

Oh no your not wrong, both kernel, and modem have to do with heating up, but the Siyah kernel hasnt had any complaints with heating, so that's what makes me think your modem is the problem
I dunno which modem will be best for your device sry
you will have to figure out, use instructions here
My SGS2 is going back for repairs due to overheating. It started by draining a full battery in an hour. Battery temp was 64C and now it heats up just by inserting the battery and not even turning on the phone. Not possible to charge it either. Tried flashing stock rom, factory resets but no go so my belief is that this is a hardware issue and not a software problem. Needless to say it has never been close to water or any other fluids. I got the phone about two months ago so hopefully this will be, and should be IMO, covered by warranty.
Will be interesting to see what the repair center says...

Hi,
My Wife's GS2 had a problem overheating recently too - it was stock ROM, not even rooted, so it wasn't overclocked. I pulled it apart, racking my brains trying to find the problem. I tried updating the the latest official ROM, updating the Modem, but nothing...
It turned out that her Internal SD Card was full, which must have been causing IO issues, and the the CPU to overwork or something, because as soon as I transferred all the photos etc. from the card, and cleared caches, it resumed running at a reasonable temperature.
Sometimes the answer is simpler than the one we're looking for - or it certainly was in my case.
Hope that helps.
Hi...mine was heating up like hell too, and its 3 days old...
for me it was the facebook mobile application on samsung galaxy sII i9100 (ICS). Installed KH3 modem , no change .. but task manager showed 30-66 cpu usage...the top 10% surface of the face of the phone and the back of the phone near the camera was searing hot, somewhere up to 50-55 degrees Celsius, making a phonecall in those conditions was very uncomfortable, and i was afraid of hardware damage if that went on. So, If i shut it down and used facebook from browser, it cooled off back to 30-35 degrees in a matter of minutes. only mobile data was turned on, gps, bluetooth, wifi was always off.
So im guessing for these kinda heat-ups (top of the phone and upper back) it is app which drains the CPU...
Note : i had no problems with battery life, meaning it resisted 12h moderate/heavy usage even with facebook mobile app...but i always try to exit all apps when im not using the phone ( bad(?) symbian habit)
you should change the modem :good:

Ok people I could use some help. I think I am getting some average battery times but the score card would definitely say 'could do better'.
So what I want to know is what screen shots from BetterBatteryStats/Phone/other would I need to upload here to help someone with far more technical nous than me identify what is causing the drains and how to stop them?
To start here is my battery screen shot for today. This is with approx. 3.20hours of screen on time.
The screen is a real battery-hog due to it's size. You may want to lower brightness, that helps a lot.
For starters, please attach Kernel Wakelocks and Partial wakelocks from BetterBatteryStats, that shall show if something drains your precious juice.

OK here we go....I guessed from looking around the forums this is the best way to deliver the information? If not let me know and I'll change it.
Analyse away
Not sure whether this is relevant but I have Tasker turning WiFi on and off in two locations.
Alright, let's see: Your phone's screen was on for an hour, but the phone was awake for two. That means we found a wakelock. Unfortunately I have no idea what "deleted_wake_locks" stands for. Maybe someone else knows more about this. Besides that wake lock, you seem to spend quite some time in an area with bad or no signal at all. That will drain your battery pretty quickly too as the phone is constantly searching for a better signal. You might want to turn of phone data in that area to prevent to phone from trying to get a better signal all the time. Finally, you should consider getting rid of the Facebook app. I've read that it isn't exactly gentle when it comes to saving battery.
Rationale: In the API available to android drivers it is advised to call wake_lock_destroy before freeing the memory of the wakelock struct that you created. This is probably done on shutdown OR perhaps if for some reason a driver is unloaded from the kernel. Whenever it does this it ads the wakelock stats to the deleted_wake_locks.
Know actions: AlarmManager itself is not generating partial wakelocks but the applications (intents) that were set to be called when an alarm goes off do. Alarms can be listed through the menu "Actions -Alarms".
Known conditions of occurence: In relation to Wifi and depending on the sleep policy wakelocks seem to be collected when screen goes off and Wifi is turned off

That doesn't help battery life, that just fixes an error in battery stats reporting.
That cell standby problem was NOT draining excess battery it was just being reported incorrectly by the android battery stats.

Your battery goes down steep all the time, but according to your screenshot of the battery stats there are 2 critical points, the latter not ending.
Please next time also include a screenshot of the menu appearing after tapping on the graph (which includes screen-on, wifi and signal quality)
According to BBS some of the issues are related to:
No or Unknown Signal (): 1 h 26 m 54 s (5214 s) Ratio: 20.5%
Poor Signal (): 1 h 4 m 45 s (3885 s) Ratio: 15.3%
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No or poor signal causes heavy battery drain since it keeps searching for the network until the connection is re-established.
Are you on 3G connection? If so, Facebook is a known battery drain.
Try using 2G whenever you're not needing the speed and see if that improves your battery life. (Only to test for now)
Alternatively disable Sync (all of Sync, not only Google or Facebook) and check if that improves the life.
You are on an old ROM version, try upgrading to a BLFB-based firmware or a CM9/AOSP based one. Both have great battery life improvements over the old ALEx Roms.

Hi all, I was trying to post this question directly in the forums but looks like i have not permissions to post on the developers threads since this is my first post :crying:
I have a question about battery duration with the omega rom on my SGS II.
First i flashed version 16.2 and i saw my phone's battery life was not very good (10-12 hrs average). i thought it could be all the things this JB rom can do (like smart stay and all that kind of stuff) so i went back to the Omega ICS v15.1 but same thing with the battery life, i wa doing at least two recharges per day. Then i saw that the omega v17 was released so i decided to give it a try hoping thing will be better.
I alredy did the rescvan media root app thing, disabling sync, and all those tips with no difference.
Am I missing something, does my battery needs to be replaced? (i bouthg the phone like a year ago).
And what is the average normal duration with this ROM?
Thanks in advance!!
(I'm attaching an SS of my battery stats)

Hi I'm in a similar position on a jb ROM also get not many hours 10-15 as u can see nearing 6hrs will probably get some where between 50-60% battery it just feels like it drains fast when I use it and when its on sleep as well. I'm also doing all the tweaks to save battery life changing govenor turning off sync killing apps low brightness etc. Still feels like short battery when phone being used or in sleep. Tried several jb roms. On siyah betav4

Well I had the same issue, however I solved it by buying the Samsung extended battery (2000 mah)
