Hello guys. I have installed cyanogenmod9 with Siyah kernel on my galaxy s2 and I already got one problem. The battery drains very fast.. I got no 3g/wifi/gps/bluetooth activated, no live wallpapers, just 3 homescreens with minimum of widgets, no applications running in background and I set the max freq for the cpu to be 1000MHZ.. And it still drains very fast..
These are the exactly files i got on my phone:
Siyah-v3.0rc1-CWM
cm-9-20120330-ODIN-galaxys2.tar
Could you please help me fix this?
Cheers!
Install BetterBatteryStats, let the phone run for 8-10 hours (use it normally or let it run overnight; whenever you're seeing the drain basically). Then have a look at the BetterBatteryStats thread on here.
This will enable you to pin down any wakelocks which are chewing thru your CPU (If it is indeed wakelocks causing the drain). If necessary, you might be able to post some screenshots/info to that thread & maybe the guys who post there regularly can give you some help with it.
Edit to add - For starters, personally speaking, I'd update to the latest CM9 nightly while you're at it (09/04). They're always making little improvements/changes.
thank you very much! i have installed that program, now I will do how you said and then I will post some screenshots in the thread. Thanks!
No probs If you find you do have wakelocks/post to the BBS thread & you don't get a response after a day or so, post the details here & I'm sure people will be able to help.

I would strongly suggest using Siyah v3.0.1Beta1
http://www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/
and dont usee that build of CM9 as that is the Resurrection edition. Download the latest CM9 from here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=galaxys2
0904 is the latest.
make sure your wipe cache and dalvik cache.
put on cm9 first, then Siyah, then wipe, reboot.

Did u follow all of the procedure to install cm9 ?
I'm quite sure u did something wrong, I managed to flash it right the noob way and updated to the latest build.
I'm getting amazing battery life with 3g/data/sync on all the time 1.5 to 2 days from 100 to 1%
Re-do it the right way and Cal the battery, hope that helps with getting started... if u still can't get a day from ur phone come back here and I'll help as much as possible... Good luck

Thanks for every advice guys.
Mazroui can you present me a tutorial with the "noob way"? )
I will update the rom and kernel with those that toxic presented me.
I have installed 2 roms on the telephone now. How do I wipe the bad one(the first one)?
Ok, i installed the rom that toxic gived here and when i try to boot the second room the telefon freezes. I need to take the battery off...
I installed it in recover mode from external_sd, along with siyah kernel and gapps..
Could you tell me how to wipe it and install just one good rom on my phone?
Thanks for the suggestion, ill take a look at that thread as well.

u cant compare it immediately...
please go ahead with a calibration of the batt and after recharging once/twice compare the battery usage with ur current bad usage
make sure u cancel the useless options that suck up the battery, there's a thread regarding this as well, it helps trust me...
Which is exactly why I gave you a simple (possible) solution in the first instance.
Which you were obviously too impatient to try given it involved installing an app, letting it run for half a day or so then reading a thread on here/posting some info to that thread to get some answers.
Installing a new rom was overkill. If you weren't prepared to go down the BBS path with your existing setup, you only needed to flash the latest CM9 nightly, do a clear cache/Dalvik & again let it go for a day or so to see if that fixed things. And then you could have done the BBS thing with the latest CM9 nightly installed if necessary.
believe me i didnt want to install a second rom.. i just wanted to replace the old one..
i will do the thing with batterystats and then i will revive this thread and tell you the "news".
Thanks for everything.
no wakelock overnight. the battery dropped just 1 percent.. i am using it for 20 mins. 3 sms, 3 mins of talking and 3 mins of wireless. in 20 mins the battery dropped from 99 to 95 now.
OK looks normal/ similar to my usage in that amount of time... keep on testing, good luck

Are you talking about some kind of notification when you receive a message? This phone doesn't have a notification LED. So you need either BLN + a kernel that supports it, or install the NoLED app. Either one will affect your battery performance though.
When you receive a message, on every phone, the screen wakes up. Mine doesnt, do you understand what i am saying?
Thanks for the reply!

And I was saying that this phone does not do this by default, out of the box, unless you do one of the two things I mentioned above.
Do YOU understand what I'M saying?
I have been Using my SGS2 on cm7 since the day i bought it some days back.. The thing is i dont get good battery life. Battery Monitor Widget Pro shows -10mA to -90mA and sometimes upto -150mA drain in stand by. Last night i lost 13% in 8 hours. I recharged it to 100% the battery drain was about -2mA for 4-5 hours then suddenly it increased to 50mA and now its -91mA since 2 hours continously. I am on Siyah Kernel. Smartassv2 kernel. Cpu underclocked to 1ghz. i Also have autokiller. brightness to lowest. And manually kill apps. I got the phone coz the my old iphone was not lasting a day but it did last 5-6 hours of screen on time. SGS2 doesnt give me over 3 hours of screen on time. NO WIFI. Just 2g data. Whatsapp every 10min. 4-5 min gaming a hour.
So you read the ten million battery faq posts and make a start with better battery stats thread and app .
TEST with a stock GB rom .

Make sure you give it about 3 battery cycles download CPU Spy to see if your phone is going into deep sleep

MIUI GB is better in battery life comparing to ICS V4,
use with siyah kernel, with app Voltage control undervolt 25v each, noop + coservative, 200-1000mhz
giving good result.

Try pulling your battery out, leaving it 30s and putting it back in, I know that has helped some people get rid of some pretty annoying wakelocks(if wake locks are you problem), it has worked for me in the past

Do you flash with CWM?
It's much easier, yeah with moderate usage I could get 1.5/2 days battery life with stock battery It's a very good ROM, although the MIUI team have stopped developing due to the development of MIUI V4

basicaly all MIUI roms are same, some developers in XDA are just ported with some tweeks and modifications.
some of them are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352386
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502664
The country of Origin of the MIUI is China and released in Chinese language, but there are variouse fan sites who translate the ROM into their language and port with great support. www.miuiandroid.com is famouse among them in english language.
I am currently using MIUI GB ROM and really enjoying it
check it out
i flashed ressurection rom ics. i got 3% drain in 7 hours overnight which is quite good but now again loosing -57mA in standby ie around 3 or so %/h... BetterBatterystats under partial wakelocks shows AudioOut_1 for 3m 17s , RILJ for 1m 9s and few other things ..Kernel Wakelock is (0s)Cntc/wc/ec/)1/1/1 100%.

jje means to say thire r millions of posts on batt prblm y r u starting another wivout reading the already posted prblms ......anyways go thru the the batt drain(find in search)cause ull get an idea were ur wrong....i dont think cm9 gives good batt life but depends on wat no of apps u got..try the stock gb first..an there is no garanty tht the uv,oc or tweaks give u a marvelous batt life.....cheeeerz
so i went back to stock rom. Wiped out the storage. Reseted the phone. Installed nothing. Still i get -57mA battery drain that is almost 5-6% per hour in standby. I have searched like anything. I just cant seem to find anything. My android os usage is 70%. And the battery info shows phone awake for maximum time. i even undervolted on siyah kernel. Didnot use data at all but it shows no difference. Stock,Miui,Resurrection,cm7 no difference. I simply cant get over 4 hours of screen time and phone looses 20-25% over night with data disabled and no apps installed. Am seriously loosing faith on android.
I am on CM9 nightly and kernel that comes with it, latest updates always!
And yesterday I charged my SGS2 to 100% unplugged cable and at the morning when I checked it, it was dead! tried to go in download mode, it sayed battery level is too low! and really it drain 100% of battery in 8 hours idle!
Is it possible to fix such a issue?
Yes, by seeing what's using the battery, not by making a new thread with no useful information.

With the amount of battery threads that come up on this site it is surprising you haven't bumped into the routine of downloading betterbatterystats and seeing what is keeping your phone awake. You should also see if this happens on a fresh install with NONE of your apps installed. Completely stock with your contacts synced.
your issue sounds reasonable my device was awake on the 4/29 build, its best to talk about nightly builds in the discussion thread,charge it up and see whats keeping it awake
you wont get help without this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Cyanogen9 is still deep in beta, that means it isn't finished, that means if you have a problem it's because the ROM isn't perfect. Why would you make a forum post about this? It happened once, not even a few times, why the **** would you make a post about something that happened once and you have done nothing to get to the bottom of it? Seriously what.
There are many stable Custom ROM of Android 4.0.x that you can use instead of CM9 'Nightly Builds'....

See this. While this isn't currently a "what's the best ROM" thread, the very nature of your question will result in the same debate those types of threads tend to generate.
Someone could really like a ROM and suggest it to you, and you try it, and you might decide it sucks. Try ROMs out yourself until you find one you like. Don't be lazy.

let the ROM settle, 2 or 3 battery cycle.
installs BBS, cpu spy and gsam battery monitor
check which app is consuming more battery
if it is media scanner, there is rescan media apk available to disable it.
calibrate the battery and monitor it.

I`m able to fix my problem. Connected my phone to my PC and it is repaired to me. It was take around 1 hour to check and fix. After that I`m able to format over windows and now everything is working perfectly.
It's about the memory
I had the same problem with my S2 , it was getting hot and the battery life was shorter than norma, i has so little free memory on phone memory,so i deleted some apks and created some free space and the problem solved,my phone returned to it's normal state.i think that was the reason so check this out if it works. :good:

Turn off google now its tracks where you every 20 sec and this eats battery very fast. It will use about 3-5% battery a hour. Also install deep sleep battery saver
Look a trick for saving battery this method disables background processes in settings go to development and down, limit background processes to 1 or 2

Use Betterbattery stats or Gsam Battery Monitor to see what is using the battery or keeping the phone awake.
With out more information people will just be guessing
No its not just you.Theres been several threads about this since its release.
You can revert back to 4.0.3 which will cure that problem.
No need to search,or post in the LS8 thread,or muck around with BBS etc.
"noob ok...lazy noob not ok"
Well, who knows? Maybe search first, because this topic has been discussed way too many times by now.

so what you are saying is that, this is a REAL ISSUE and that samsung must release a fix for this, right???
is this a real posibility , like would Samsung ever consider to realease a FIX for this, did they ever do it in the past in a similar case?
or maybe if were lucky in a year or 2 they will, by then...
No it means some people are having worse battery life then on ICS but I have better batter life than on ICS if you read the other threads about the same topic over the last few days you might see something that helps you improve the battery life. Or install battery stats and see what is using the battery

Hello and please let me give my personal experience.
I think it is a matter of modem.
It depends on country/carrier.
I had the same problem exactly, I flashed a XXLQ6 modem [even though it is for 4.0.4 firmware - I don't know if I did something dangerous for my phone, I am a newbie], signal is much better and battery lasts longer.
3G - H - H+ : smooth and stable internet browsing with the new modem.
My country is Greece . Carrier is COSMOTE. Stock Samsung XXLS8 firmware. PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel v4.00-b39 from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270
I hope I was helpful with my 1st post here.
Yes the modem is one of the possible problems you can have and flashing a modem that works better for your area is the best option if the stock one does not work well as you have done.
The OP says nothing is using his battery but yet the battery goes flat so it is not possible to help with that as something is draining the battery else it would not go flat unless the battery is faulty but then it would not last for any ROM.
I use XXLQ6 modem as well
Congrats on the 1st post...
just turn off Google Now and Google localization. it should increase your battery life.
