[Q] battery drain very fast - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am currently using the ultimate hd Rom v3.0.2 but the battery drains very fast even though I change all my settings to the least battery consuming. The worse thing is that my phone will show tat I left 15% of battery and the next moment it shows 1% as a result, my phone frequently shut down. Any ways to solve this problem??

check buttery consumers

Make sure that you have no app that prevents phone to sleep. Check your most battery consumers in android settings. Check app that always running (in manage app)

Seems like an issue with the battery.Did you try another one?
I suppose you have already tried another ROM\
Regards,
navmad

I think the problem lies with the Rom. I pmed.jader who created this Rom but he didn't reply. And the launcher always restarts which gets on my nerves.

I would like to ask u guys if anyone of u used a custom Rom and the launcher doesn't restart?
Pls tell me wat Rom is tat and I would like to download it.

[Q] Hello Everyone.

Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

hey buddy sorry for the late reply..go to market and download the battery calibration app by Nema..once you installed it charge your phone fully go into the app and just follow the instructions and then you should be fully calibrated..
but download the app first
Thanks, i tried it todsy but it says root needed.
I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.
Install BetterBatteryStats from the Android Marketplace. Run it and see if there is/are any app(s) gone rogue abusing CPU power other than the display.

Worst case of battery draining on galaxy s2?

My galaxy s2 has had battery issues the day i got it.I was getting around 6-7 hours then, thought it was some issue with firmware checked the battery usage and everything seemed fine expect for few times the android os seemed a little high , so i installed a custom rom , tried sensation and villianrom and a few others .Villianrom seemed to help battery a little but few days in and battery is again draining like fuel in a f1.So i decided its nothing about the firmware and all , maybe i have a bad phone or battery cause its draining like 1% every 2 -3 mins while browsing or doing anything as a matter of fact i get about 4-5 or at best 6.5 hours but thqts rare.I mostly use wi-fi so it definitely uses less battery than 3g . So now my question is ... As i have rooted my phone do i get
The warranty assets as my phone is like 4 months old.I know about unrooting but will that do the trick ?
And btw apart from battery issues , which seem like i have a unique case , my experience with the phone has been amazing this is definetely the best phone on market ;-)
Please respond....and also share your experiences with battery backup of s2 .....thankyou. cheers B-)
*i forgot to add that another thing that i have been noticing is the high battery usage by the display , it sometimes is as high as 80% even on low brightness to which i have found no cure...no matter what i try it lowers sometimes to about 30% or more and is back again to higher, this has furthered my doubt that i have a faulty piece. Pls comment.

I'd say 1% every 2-3 minutes sounds about right if you have screen fairly bright.
Did you do a back up before installing custom rom?
If so install original rom back, then I think you need a usb jig, which is available from ebay. This will reset your custom binary counter so the warranty peeps won't know you've flashed a custom rom at some time.
I'm quite new to this so hopefully someone else may reply and correct me if wrong.

Display uses the largest amount its relative all the figures say is that of the battery percentage used display has used xx amount . Could be battery used 5% of that 5% display used 50% as little else was used .

you tryed installing betterbatterystats and check which app causes wakelocks? most apps that cause battery draining wake up your phone all the time.

on regular use, my batt wear off in a day or a day and a half, but when my kid play a HD game, the battery drained in just 3 hours.
I've only tried 2 custom roms, miui and criskelorom, and I think using criskelorom combine with neak kernel is my best so far
I used the trick of battery calibaration by ram3n and battery seems to hold up a little better. Betterbatterystats was really helpful as well as battery monitor and cpu spy . But still i guess yhe phone will suffer on heavy usage or even medim .

Idle battery drain problem

Hey guys, I have no idea what's happening, but this has been going on for a while. I have an unlocked galaxy s ii, and I love it, but lately the battery drain has been unbearable. If I just play a video on it I can probably get 5 hours of screen on time, which seems pretty good to me, but if its sitting in my pocket the battery just keeps going down. Once it went down 8 percent in five minutes doing absolutely nothing. Facebook also takes away way too much battery. Could someone recommend some apps to monitor battery usage and possibly tell me what to do? Thanks

1) try friend caster instead of Facebook
2) use better battery stats (BBS) app to see whats draining ur Batt so that u can take action with them
3) use CPU spy app to see if ur phone is entering Deepsleep r not

Strange Battery Issue

I have Micromax Canvas hd purchased 1 month ago.I m facing a serious trouble which service center also cant solve(as i have tred visiting it).When I charge my mobile to100% and when it reaches to 30%,my battery drains too quick till 12% without having any apps open.After 12% I tried charging till 35% but it drains normal till 0%.I have updated android from service center,changed battery also.They say that motherboard needs to be replaced(they havnt understood the problem yet properly).Is it firmware problem?
in which some files are corrupted due to which it is showing wrong battery stats.Beacuse I get normal battery life.I can use it for 1 day after normal usage.
After 87% of charging it jumps to 100% in 2 minutes.But if i charge only till 87% then i dont face drain problem from 30% to 12%.
Is this a motherboard issue?
Exact problem with my device too.... Please some experts suggest solutions on this.. Battery calibration dies not work...

Try a battery calibration it should work if not then try installing a custom ROM this will definitely solve your problem but in case you don't want a custom Rom try installing Pure performance and if you don't want to try even this one then try downloading a battery indicator app which will show correct readings. Generally this is just a problem with the software you'll get the complete 100% output but only the numbers out there are different. so it should not be a big problem.
Hit thanks if i've helped.

i hav tried battery calibration through various apps e1 manually deleting batterystatsbin file but none helped.Installed stock rom 4.1.2(v0.16)coz many people dont have problm with it(i knw personally 2-3 people) still none working 4 me.I will try custom rom but what is "pure perfomance" i wana try it b4 installing new rom.
Hey it happens to me as well. Battery calibration I am yet to try. The real reason I wanted to reply here is I have had a bad experience with Pure Performance MOD. Its just a zip file flashable through CWM. What it does is it makes ur phone faster than ever, however battery drains equally as fast. Before you try it, I really really really really suggest a backup through CWM.

Sir but it means you're facing few problems which many don't , yes few of them complain of such problems but there are also many who've experienced dramatic increase in battery backup.
Source: My personal experience
Before i installed this ROM, For example in night by 10.00 pm if the battery % was around 70 by morning it would be around 64-63 but now it is 69 or max 68 and i also see changes in benchmark tests etc etc.
I recommend you reflashing the Rom and would recommend it to others.
---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
Pure performance is a Rom developed to increase the overall response of your device.It also boost battery backup etc etc Search about it in XDA.
I also having the same issue...
1st when it happens drain battery to 0%
Then charge it to 100% plus some more time....
It works perfectly till again 0%....
At least it works for me nd my friend....

I don't really bother about benchmark scores. As far as system response time being faster using PPX, I go for an alternative.
Settings-> Developer options-> Lower the window and transition animation scale to .5x [Currently running X flare v2]
This is why it did not work out for me bro...

WTF??i have tried it many a times..Can u provide step by step instructions bro??btw which app?
I have had a similar issue with my o3d which seems more like a hardware problem because a re-flash seems to do nothing to help the issue nor does battery calibration. I am stuck at an almost constant 0% though so my issue may be different i do have a thread in the o3d forum about this. (although i do recommend calibattery app if stuck for a battery gauge even though it is not completely accurate but better than nothing). If under warranty i would just try to get a replacement.

last time i rooted my phone there was not a asingle problem
now battery 1% die in every 5 seconds
i tried battery calibiration
used wakelock to find apps then greenify them still hardly 40 min till my 100% goes to 0% and its new phone and battery was working well before rooting
last time root had no rpooblems
this time i installed SQlite installer for root guess thats reason but i cant delete its really imp app for me
Battery stuck on 14% a long time.
@Rohit.
What I did:
1. Download "Battery calibration" from playstore. (Developer- Nema)
2. Drained battery till 1%..
3. Charged the phone to a 100%. [Received 2 calls for approx 10 mins in total, for which I had to unplug the charger.]
4. Once battery was 100% I FIRST UNPLUGGED the charger and then clicked Battery Calibration.
The last step here is not what the app suggests in the instructions, I only realized it after I clicked Battery Calibration.
I hope this works for you too brother.

try other kernel if unlocked or try other ROM .. still same problem than conform it as battery problem
I have same kind of problem. As long as screen is off I get ~2%/h drain with wifi/3G and listening to music.
If I keep screen on it drops as much as 1%/minute even if it's just browsing web.

Tried that more than a few times. Readings seem to be correct - voltages in each state seem to match too.
Tried with another battery from brother's Neo V - same problem.
It's closely tied with screen-on state.
So how can i fix this problem?
