I think this started happening after the last OTA update. My TB will not power on at all unless I plug the charger in and let it sit for a few seconds, even when I have a full battery charge. I started noticing this when I started having reboots and random shutdowns after the last OTA.
I don't have fastboot enabled. I'm rooted on the stock ROM and stock recovery (no clockwork mod).
Anyone else having this problem, or should I unroot and take my phone back for a replacement?
Have you tried to wipe battery stats to see if that might help

Yes, infact I did. Forgot to put that in the original post.
Try just letting it sit on the charger for a while.. couldn't hurt

I had problems with the stock rom. Not like that but I flashed a new ROM and it fixed my problem. I'm surprised you're still on stock. Try flashing a froyo rom. If that doesn't work then your problem is hardware related.
So, I flashed the updated radio that adrynalyne posted... and it seems to have fixed this problem. Not sure how or why... but I've powered it off and restarted three or four times now with no issue.
Too soon to tell if it fixes my random reboots.
i love it when people come back and let us know what solved the issue.
I'm not sure if other X2's do this, but my battery runs fine. I get a solid 10 hours of hard use out of it.
But lately I noticed that if I simply reboot I get another 20%-50% out of it. Yesterday, it was down to around 30%, restarted, went back up to 80% and drained normally the rest of the night.
Is this normal? Is there a fix or something I can do? I wish I could just get the most out of the battery without having to restart.
I'm just running rooted 2.3.4. I do the whole drain it to 0% once a month thing & fully charge.
--
P.S. I'm not making this up. Lol.
2.3.4 is the problem. There is a battery bug in the software where it reports less battery power than you have. Then, when you reboot, it might shoot up 5% to 10%.
Many custom ROMs have a fix in it. Not sure what the fix is or if you can apply it to the stock ROM.
Eclipse 2.0.x has the fix, but it also requires updating to the unofficial 2.3.5 OTA upgrade.
CM7 is based on 2.3.4 kernel and seems to have the issue resolved as well.
I see. Well, thank you for your help. Sorry if this is a repeated topic.
I just got started in the whole root/flashing "scene" so I'll have to see what I can do about CM7 now.
For those that want to stay on the stock rom, the fix is here.
Thanks, I'll try this out later.
I could use it too but the download link is dead. Thanks
Tried using new file from updated link but it would not work. Hung up at installing. Had to pull battery to restart phone. Any ideas?? Thanks
Probably something wrong with Peppermint's script. I have the original one from my phone. You can give it a try if you want.

Thanks. It installed OK this time. I'll be checking to see if it makes a difference. Thanks again for the help.
You're welcome. Hope it works for you.

I bought my mother an x2, rooted and flashed CM7, she gets around 15 hours on the stock battery.
You will notice a huge change in performance, battery and more while you flash any ROM... Good luck, just follow the tutorials here in the forum.
SMILE It's Not Illegal Yet
Hey can anyone help with my battery prob? I got the extended battery from verizon I wiped battery stats after draining it fully and recharging fully twice. I'm running eclipse 1.3, speedy v7, and the cdma unthrottle mods. For some reason my phone eats this battery faster than my stock battery.

Hello guys,
I'm a little bit desperate with my battery. One month ago I updated from ICS to JB in my s2 i9100 and the horrible loop started:
- Between 100-70% of charge everything is going more or less ok
- Suddenly, phone turns off. After restarting, the battery is around 40% and very unstable
- Now it's even worse, without charger, the phone remains up only 15-20 minutes.
I tried EVERYTHING:
- All the roms for JB (all versions of RR, Paranoid Android) with all the combination of Kernels (CM10, Siyah and Dorimanx)
- Go back to ICS (of course, for every ROM I give to the phone 2-3 days to stabilise it)
- Battery calibration tools of the play store (even I paid 3$ for one of them)
- Battery calibration without being ROOT (the trick of this thread did not work. I tried 3 times)
- Reset fuel gauge chip from the ex-Tweaks
...
Any other idea/clue?
I'm about to give up, I think I'm going to get a new battery. I prefer to pay 15-20$ than spending hours trying to figure it out.
The last question. I'm assuming that a brand new battery will fix this problem. Am I right? I'm afraid of buying a new battery and facing the same issue.
If I get a new one I am supposed to do some operation on the phone before to install it?
Currently I'm using RR 3.1.1 with dorimanx kernel.
Thank you very much in advance!*
You guys do an AWESOME job with this forum.
How is your battery now? Did you try to remove it for a while? Did you test to wipe battery stats in recovery?

My battery SUCKS now. If I'm using the telephone in a normal way (surfing, music, videos)... it goes down every 30 minutes.
I'm going to try to remove for a while right now. You mean, minutes, hours, days?
Yes, I tried to wipe battery stats from recovery with no results.
Thank YOU very much for your interest
just remove it 2-3 min but i don't think it will be better. Can you tell me how is it after. Thanks.

Try RootBox 3.0 with dorimanx 7.4. I've been using it since it came out with no problems.
If you're worried about battery try better battery stats to check the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Hello
I updated my Galaxy S2 via Odin(PC) from Stock 4.0.4 to Stock 4.1.2. All went fine, phone works smooth and fast. But there was a massive battery drain. Therefore i wiped data/cache, did a factory reset, everything is new an fresh. Phone still works smooth and fast but battery drain doesn't change. Take a look at the screenshot. Is there something i can check and change?
Thanx in advance.
Greetings
Nicolas
Chill let the rom settle for a while, the battery is usually weird after a flash use it for a few cycles and then it should be alright

Thanx for your reply. But i cannot confirm that. Never had such a behavior. Flashed a few ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 Roms and either thery're draining or not unless i'm able to change or fix somthing. It never improves on its own. Maybe it's my bad luck only.
Do we really need another "battery drain/problem" thread?
The answers you get here are going to be no different to the other topics that already cover this so please use search in future and get your answers quicker instead of duplicating topics that add to dilution of forum.

Yes, you are right. But i read a lot about battery drain problem in the dev thread and also tried a few, ok not all, things to fix it. Until nothing works for me i wanted to upload my battery stats but wasn't allowed to because i'm a noob. Therefore i opened up a new threat to upload my screenshot and hope someone has the right advice for me or just simply says "bad luck my friend. This Roms seems not to work for you".
And sorry again if i don't behave the right way.

I;m not talking about the specific rom thread I'm speaking in general. We have plenty of Q&A/general topics about battery drains etc have a good search and read.

Yes i will.
But, generally, flashing different Roms causes different issues. Reading solutions based on different ROMs, Custom ROMs, etc. isn't very helpful. There may be general solutions for this damn battery draining problem. But until now nothing fits to me.
In the end i hope to find a solution or i will go back to ics.
Have a nice day

Your absolutly right, i read many problems, but with those stats are weird.
1) Just try to re-flash the ROM and after go to recovery and clear everything(dalvik, data etc).
2) Use the option to reboot.
3) Turn off phone -> remove the battery -> Try to turn the phone ON without battery one or 2 times -> wait 2-5minutes more without doing nothing -> Battery back in.
4) Charge up to 100% (when the icon appears).
5) Wait for 1-3 cycles and check if its ok.
6) If you have media draining check my signature link.
Issue solved, probably
I probably solved my battery drain issue while doing what CrisR82 suggested in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37227296&postcount=10017
" Battery drain is caused by a permanent wake-lock (I had that issue).
For everyone with that problem, here's what I did and got rid of it:
1 - fully drain your battery (0%, to the point where it won't power-on at all)
2 - recharge your battery without turning on the phone
3 - go to recovery mode and wipe both data and cache
NOTE: backup all your contacts, messages, whatever...this will delete everything!
(I formatted my USB storage aswell before step 1, but I think that's not necessary)
No wake-lock for me, 17 hours use, 12% battery down (only checking the clock every once in a while)."
As it seems it worked for me also. Did it yesterday evening and keep in mind i did a factory reset therefore i had to reinstall everything. Battery is behaving normally again.
Maybe this helps the one or the other.

Now, right solution
Ok, my mistake!
At first it seems that there is an improvment in battery life like i said in the above post. There is ... but slightly. Not enough, not acceptable at all.
To make it short.
I did a clean install. That's it. Wiped everthing, pumped the battery up to 100% and flashed Samsung Stock jb 4.1.2 again. And it works now.
Thanks all for your advice.

Me again.
My battery drained in 21 hours even after reinstalled everything after a full wipe. Couldn't find out what process caused the drain. Used bbs and its stats say android os, screen and Android in sleepmode is using most of the battery.
I'm back on 4.0.4 now. Waiting for next jb version.

Thought I should share that I tried the same and face the same issue. Before JB, on completely stock 4.0.4 (no root), I would charge after three full days (72 hrs). Moderate/normal use - no heavy gaming. Under JB it drained in less than 24 hrs with very moderate use - mostly idle. Back on ICS i now get the same battery time as before.
I should add that my phone came new with ICS 4.0.4 installed. Two friends of mine have upgraded theirs all the way from GB -> ICS -> JB and they exeperience significant battery improvement. Being a noob, I don't understand whether this makes any difference. Simply coincidence?
All the best.

New ROMs are always smoother than previous ones, once you flash em you get in cant-put-it-down mode. You need at least 1 week to judge battery life on any ROM. A couple of days to set it up and a few days to see how it behaves.
Once you get things going you never go back, that's a fact.
Be careful on 4.0.4.

hi,
my phone is Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i), recently i've unlocked the BL and begin installing some custom roms. my first custom rom is Super JB v6 with nAa kernel, it worked flawlessly, but strange, if the battery still has 15% or bit lower, it suddenly down to 1%! and my phone goes off less than 1 minutes later.
i think it has rom/kernel problem, so i changed to some roms & kernels, from flawless ICS, xNXT until now im using MIUI Life. bad luck, it GETTING WORSE! now if my phone still has 80% battery life, it goes 1%!. i think its battery problem, but after 80% to 1% shutted down, i turned on again, and going to CWM recovery. i'm doing nothing here unless to keep my screen on for checking if it actually battery problem, it should shut down for a seconds. but i've waiting until about an half hour, my phone still ON.
WTF is the problem? is my phone really bricked?
P.S. clearing battery stats don't works, and i believe that was just myth.
any answer will be appreciated. thanks
Reflash to Stock FTF and then flash a ROM ...Try being on Stock ROM for a few days IMO and check if it persists ...Get a new battery and check it ...It more looks like a faulty sensor imo ...
Am I right?
Is it possible (if unlocked propertly) to brick phone? I had never briked... But had mano bootloops and etc... But after flashing everything right all problems are solved. Am I missing something?

Don't be sad just is a lesson
