Does wiping the battery actually help battery life, because if so, how. I'm getting about 14 hours outta my phone right now.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Did you follow these steps? I am running Bionix 1.7 w/Voodoo and used these steps to recondition my battery. I would say 14 hours is pretty good. These phones are battery whores. What apps are you running? GPS on all day?
Battery Reconditioning:
1. Charge phone completely, leave plugged into power
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe battery stats
4. Reboot
5. Remove power cable
6. Drain that sucker all the way
7. Recharge fully
8. Rejoice!
Question about step 3 is that clear cache from the recovery menu, cause I can't find the wipe battery stats option....
I have:
reboot
reinstall packages
clear user data
clear cache
You want to boot into Clockwork Recovery and then look under Advanced.

I can't seem to figure out how to actually get into clockwork recovery without installing a rom or backing up a rom through Rom Manager. Could you please tell me how to get into the CWM Recovery instead of the Vibrant Recovery?
Thanks for the help in advance

With CWM you have the option to boot into recovery. If you get to vibrant recovery then just choose the update package option and that should transfer you to CWR.

thank you, I was now able to get into the advanced tab and see the wipe battery stats.
I thank you so much ur a scholar and a gentleman!
you may can't believe. my battery life is up to 25 hours...i may use less than others. but it is very long anyway..

Do I need a rooted phone to do this?
Yes. You can't install clockwork recovery without root.

Do you mean to choose the "Reinstall Package" option? I don't seem to have a "Update Package" option in recovery.

I have done this about 20 times and I get the same battery life every time 7 hrs max and that's texting and some internet browsing on edge since 3g is week at work. So I don't what I am doing wrong or if I just have a crappy battery but I don't know how you all are getting that kind of results lol. Oh and I got my phone used from a friend so the battery could of been broken in improperly so that could be why it does nothing for me. Any suggestions any one?

I read somewhere that i need CWM but the problem is that i can't install it I don't know why(cant mount sd card so cant fild CWM to install... anyway) and I have rooted my phone...
So I was wondering if there is another way besides CWM to do that...
Thanks!
download battery calibration from market, let the mobile charge to 100% and use this app to clear battery stats
Reboot into recovery scroll down to advanced in there you will see clear or wipe battery stats click on it and then reboot phone as normal

hello ,
1. for wipe dalvik you can use olso titanium backup
2. for ful wipe use clkwr and
-go to recovery
-wipe data factory reset ,press yes,done..after this go
-recovery ,wipe case ,press yes ,done.
-recovery ,advanset ,wipe dalvic case ,press tes ,done
This is full wipe and after this you can flash a new rom
If you want to make wipe for beter battery life you can do wipe dalvic case and fix battery status from recovery/advansent/fix battery status
I have made all this for many times ,hop to help you.....

Hello , there is a very useful app that i use all the time ,this is (sd made apk) and with this you can clean corpsfinder files and unesesery thinks from system and sd card,olso you can clean the apps that you have instal on your system (not unistal only clean)
After this no need to make full wipe ....only if you have problemes ,crash or you want to flash new rom ....
If you want to make wipe for beter battery life you can do wipe dalvic case and fix battery status from recovery/advansent/fix battery status
100% wrong battery stats has no bearing on your battery life .

CWM Manager is an app to be used for recovery management..It is not fully compatible with CWM 6.0.1.2..Use CWM to reboot into recovery..From there choose the options as JJ has said..
hi everybody.
i'm not new in this forum but i onl now registered so i cant post in the android development section ( or so the site says)
i have a Samsung Galaxy S II ( GT-i9100)
i was using a CM10 based Paranoid android Rom for a long time and it was great.
a few days ago i wanted to use a new ROM - [ROM 4.1.2 - 4.2] JellyBam - 20121115 [AOKP.CM10.PARANOID] [AROMA] [SPACESTYLE]
i did exactly what the instructions said :
Put Rom zip in internal SD
wipe data + cache + Dalvik
install rom - using siyah Kernel 5.0.1
after the install the Rom lodas fine and seems to work great but after the first time i need to restart the phone it get stuck in the boot animation
i tried doing another Cache + Dalvik wipe after the install but it still happens
when i was searching the Rom's Forum , no one seemed to had the same problem, and that is why i am posting this here.
if any one can help i will be grateful.
thanks in advance
shlomo
p.s.
for now i went back to a Nand backup of my old rom...
hi there.
i manged to fix the first problem by flashing the rom with a different kernel - Dorimanx...
but now i have a different problem
everytime that i turn the phone on i get the messege "upgrading android"
and there are times that the phone turnes off for no reason (mainly when i get incoming calls)
and after that when i turn it back on again the battary is almost dead - today it happened when i had 70% and when i turned in back on the battary went down to 4%!!!
what can i do???
1.Wipe data/factory reset
2.Format /system
3.Flash the ROM (choose whatever Kernel in aroma)
4.Wipe cache
5.Wipe dalvik
6.Restart
Try that.
edit: oh and if the battery problem persists, calibrate your battery (there are plently of guides out there i'm sure you can find)
Thankx for the help, ill try that (again). Just a few questions.
Do you recommend a specific kernel (if j usr siyah i seem to get a bootloop)
What guide do you recommend to calibrate the battary, there are allot of them out there that i dont kbow which to use
Thanks again.

u can use Dorimanx v7.22 kernel ma8
also battery callibration apps will not aid u in any way on ur SGS2, since it comes with seperate Fuel gauge chip
u can use the 'Stweaks' app that comes with the Dorimanx kernel and do a 'Reset Fuel gauge chip' in it to have a better reading with ur battery

thanks for the advice about the kernel, ill do that
about the fule guge chip - what exacatly does it mean that the phone have a separate one? and if i do reset it using ths stweaks, than what - is that all it takes to recalibrate the battary?

You can reset the fuel gauge chip, and if it doesnt work you can try the following: charge the battery to 100%, leave it on the charger. Go to recovery, wipe battery stats under advanced. Reboot, unplug from charger.
Hope it helps.
Edit: I think I read somewhere that its recommended to leave the battery to fully discharge after wiping bat stats (let the phone turn itself off) and then recharge again.

hi .
i did what you said and for some reason it erased my External SD card.... where i had all my backups!!
edit: first few times it worked well... now i have a bootloop again and nothing works....
another Edit : figured it out. it didnt erase my External SD, i Just can mount it. not from the system itself and not from the recovery either...
when i connect the phone to my PC it dosent show up also
Why don't you try Rootbox? Jelly bam is based on it anyway, why not try the rom from the dev instead of a cook

well... tried Rootbox and i gotta say its a nice rom.
bot not more then that... the paranoid android settings are all wonky there and i still get many bootloops - even you can work around them by turning on and off...
going to try P.A.C Rom
any advice would be appreciated
Edit: well, tried P. A. C Rom, worked well to start with. But then again it started a bootloop for no reason... For now went back to a nand backup of jellybam from 16/11 that seems to be the most stable. Why does this keep happening???
Hi,
My s2 has recently started to have very poor battery life. I am on stock JB firmware. I've never rooted this phone, and don't plan to until the phone is out of warranty, which is still about 6 months away.
The phone was pretty full of apps, so I decided to do a factory reset: settings> backup and reset> factory data reset> format USB storage ticked.
This fixed a problem that I was also having with my WiFi connection being slow, but it doesn't seem to have fixed the battery life problem. The phone does not last the day, even with very little use whereas before it could go at least 2 days before the battery went flat.
Is it possible that something has not been wiped during the process and is still causing a problem? Does the 'format USB storage' option wipe the internal SD card?
In the battery menu the biggest drain in 'android OS' with around 50%. This suggests to me there is still something wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Maybe you need new battery..
Check the apps which gives regular wakelocks..
Download wakelock detector and see who is the culprit

maybe you need to wipe dalvik cache and recalibrate battery maybe some times it's a bit a galaxy s2 bug
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18600161
Thanks for the replies,
I don't think its the battery that is the problem, as I would expect a more gradual failure than what I have experienced.
I'll try the wakelock detector, that sounds like a useful tool.
Battery cal and dalvik cache wipe may also help. Is there a way of wiping the dalvik cache without CWM recovery? As I said in the first post, I dont want to root the phone
I think stock android recovery has a option to wipe cache...
Stock android recovery does have a cache wipe option. Does this wipe the dalvik cache too?

So u have good battery life on ics??
Thanks for all your replies on this matter guys. I finally sorted the problem. It was the USB charging port. It was dirty. I cleaned it out with some contact cleaner and battery life is all back to normal. Unfortunately my Wi-Fi problem is back, so I'm starting a new thread about that if any of you knowledgeable guys fancy helping me out!
