Hi, my phone drains within 10 hours on standby. It drains while off as well. It has NOTHING to do with my ROM or kernel because I've used multiple and nothing with my apps or wakelock. I bought a new battery with a bigger capacity but it didn't help. It seems absolutely random and I think the hardware is not working correctly. Any help?

Hi. There could be numerous reasons for this battery drain. Firstly, I would recommend attempting to narrow down the problem somewhat by using many of the available apps that come to mind. Try wakelock detector, better battery stats and cpu spy.
It could also perhaps be the radio of your phone. You could also try switching to 2G only or turning GPS or bluetooth off and see if that helps.
All battery related problems take a bit of patience.

have you resetted the battery stats? Your battery could be at the end of its life aswell, but I can't conclude that for you
If you're rooted uninstall google maps and use greenify for hibernate user apps,
In developer options choose background processes at most 2

It also charges very quickly and somehow loses about 10 percent with the battery REMOVED in 45 min.
I think your battery is not compatible with your device hardware.

Hi there,
just in advance: Yes, I have read quite a bunch of battery drain threads, but non of them seemed to help me.
Compared to GB, my SGS2 doesn't even seem to last more than a day in terms of battery life.
Now I wonder - is it just me playing around with (otherwise awesome) CM9 and battery life is actually normal or is there some kind of battery drain going on?
Running CM9 14-04, stock kernel, LPS baseband.
Attached please find BBS stats and other battery stats screenshots.
Help very much appreciated

Awake over 2 hours, 1 hr 43 min screen on, down to 62%. That's on track for 5.5 hours awake time, and about 4.5 hours screen on time. Looks pretty normal.
You MIGHT be able to squeeze a bit more juice out by playing with your sync and display settings, but that otherwise doesn't look that bad.

Did you try to wipe your battery stats? Also, I noticed that playing around flashing the Roms, requires 2-3 full charging cycles before the battery was "stable" again
I've also read the following but didn't try it (I imagine it does the same than wiping the battery stats in the recovery, but you never know, you can try it):
Delete batterystats.bin in data/system, after full charging (with Rootexplorer or another app)
Then, use it until to 90%, and full charging.
Good luck!
When is it a good idea to wipe battery stats? When it's empty or at full charge?

Stats seem fine to me. Your phone shouldn't drain much when idle, but once that big screen is lit up the power drains much faster. The SGS2 stock battery is not huge to begin with either. Your 2000mah will be better though, especially after using it for a few cycles. You can also try flashing a different stock kernel or custom kernel (Siyah, etc).

Thanks guys!
So charged my 2000mA battery up to 100% now and wiped the battery stats. Hope this helps.
I really wanted to stick to CM9, because I don't wanna do a factory reset every couple of days when flashing other ROMs, because I'm tired of setting up all my stuff over and over again...
Are the other ROMs really that much better? Thought that CM9 would be best, because most popular...

I noticed that my phone does that when I am in a weak service area. The radios use a lot of juice trying to get/keep a signal. You could try Better Battery Stats or Bad Ass Battery Monitor to see in more detail what is using your battery.

you can also try to calibrate your battery with serval apps! type in play store : battery calibration ! they all do the same job and preaty good i must say..
i recommend you to try : Battery Calibration free . thats for rooted users and does great job!
Alright Thanks
I sorta realised it was due to my connection as my school has a really bad reception and thats where teh majority ofteh drain occurred will download that app
My personal experience!!!!! Flame me not!!!!!!
Ok here goes:
I don't use any battery calibration apps or system tuner or task killer any more. I test my battery like I test my gas mileage: ALL THE FRIGGIN' TIME!
I've found I get better battery life without these extra apps. However, I also completely strip all ROM's I use of completely unnecessary apps and their respective widgets (HTC News, HTC News and Weather, Jetset Printer, Stocks, Twitter, Picasa, Google +, etc.)
Now, the only app I would recommend and have heard from multiple sources and threads is Better Battery Stats. It has a nominal fee, however, is worth it. I will show you what is draining your battery.
You could also have wake lock problems. Who knows? Get some diagnostic info to post to better help those trying to help you. Help me, to help you! LOL!

Flame on! Just kidding. I also have never calibrated my battery as it is useless according to the Android engineers at Google.
The reason I also recommend Bad Ass Battery Monitor is because it is a little more user friendly.
Also, there is an xda version of Better Battery Stats that is available in these forums for free, although the Market version is cheap and supports the dev.

You can use battery calibration. you can find it in the android market
Have you tried reset battery stats then full charge, use it for a couple of minutes then full charge again? Don't know why it works but I have used this method on a couple of Roms and it seems to help
try clearing your battery stats full charge ur battery n then let it discharge fully then full charge once more n recalibrate it..should work
The main factor for preventing battery drains is to have a good modem that doesn't overheats the phone, using a ROM with deep sleep and a battery friendly kennel like Siyah or Fluxxi. Try to get those three things fixed and you should not have any more battery drains
Turn auto brightness off also make sure none of your apps are using your GPS all the time. I think the problem may be app related I would roll to a stock kernel and only use apps that are must need and see if that helps. Also your battery could be shot . How old is it ?

Any ideas what could be causing it or how to fix it?
I've been having the same issue for the past few days. I've also been having a good amount of crashes. I am thinking about starting completely over: Odin back to 3.2, reinstalling CWM, and then trying the nightlies again. If that doesn't make it more stable, I may try Task 14 (HC).

Well first, I would not recommend Juice Defender. I have heard that it causes the batter to drain more.
Secondly, the stats are only for not even 3 hrs. If you want a proper reading of what is draining battery it needs to be longer, if possible.
EDIT: What rom/kernel are you running? And did you do a full wipe when you flashed them?

I was running CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies Galaxy Tab 10.1 WIFI, then after a week switched to [ICS]Ganbarou GT-P7500/7501/7510/7511 CM9, and I am now as of yesterday on [JB][AOSP][ALPHA] Android 4.1.1 - Jelly Bean - [GT-P7510], full wipe as usual for them all, bar JellyBean where I had to return to stock first.
I've had the same power problem on them all, but i've noticed i've managed a 10hr stretch on JellyBean, so stats are attached.
Problem fixed.
I installed the Jelly Bean alpha, but it was still happening, so I drained the battery completely, then charged it fully, and that fixed the problem.
hey guys
I am having a lot of problem with custom ROMs. please help.
Every custom ROM i install, after the very first charge cycle the ROM lasts extremely good for one full day with my complete usage as well. but as soon as the second charge cycle is finished it doesn't even last 4 hours whether i use or not.
I install only the regular apps and hardly 5-6 of them.
please post your valuable advises and suggestions.

You need to recalibrate your battery dude.
Let your battery die.
Then with your phone off charge to 100%.
Then remove battery for 5 minutes to reset fuel gauge chip.

but when on stock ROM, the battery runs all good.
That's because battery 'recalibration' (at least these batteries) is voodoo nonsense
It sounds like a process(es) is causing wakelocks which is causing excessive drain when the phone is idling (from what you've described).
Get BetterBatteryStats from Google Play, then read the BBS thread on here (search for it; if you can't find it, you can access it from within the app from memory). That should give you some clues to help you track down what's causing the drain. If you're still stuck, you should be able to post stats/screenshots to the BBS thread & I'm sure people who post there regularly should be able to help you.
I disagree with your statement about battery calibration being nonsense.
Do some research into the battery gauge chip in the S2 dude, resetting it definitely works
You're right though it could definitely be wake locks too

Maybe you are right. ill look into it
You can try GSam Battery Monitor:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5nc2FtbGFicy5iYm0iXQ..
It is easier to find an application that consumes juice in GSam BM than in BBS. BBS is very good but more difficult. I think your problem is beeing made by bad application that sucks energy.
You can also try CPU Spy to get known if your device goes into deep sleep mode.
Try turning of location services. It will help but there must be something else too. Did you try CPU spy which shows how much time your phone is in deep sleep when not in use?

Hi,
I have a weird battery issue. You can check attached screenshot.
My battery percentage suddenly decreases for example %45 to % 12. Then as soon as I plug in charger it comes for example %12 to %26. Completely unstable battery stats. Sometimes after charging %100 it doesn't decrease for a while. then I reboot phone and it suddenly decreases to %89 or something like that.
2 or 3 times a day device shuts off by itself.
I have cm 10.2 android 4.3 rom and I come from omega v46 android 4.2. (I had same issue on omega). I always perform full wipe before installing a new rom.
I tried factory reset, BBS, remove sd card, reinsert sim card etc.. but I could'nt solve the issue.
Finally I bought another battery but same issue still goes on.Maybe it's about an apk like CPU Adjuster which I previously installed on Omega rom.
Can anybody help?

Thanks for advices but I'm OK with my battery life. In my cm rom, battery life is better than stock ones. By the way Easy battery saver is really amazing, really saves battery. I used that before but it turns off everything in extreme mod, and I can't get what's up messages or my push mails etc. Anyway, as I said before my problem is not battery drain.
