I'm having issue with my 4g lte. Happens randomly - my phone just discharges. Last night I had it on charger for up to 85% and I woke up this morning my phone was dead. No wifi or bluetooth on. No new apps installed. I cant find a pattern why and when is doing that. Any ideas ? is there some kind of app that can record what is happening to the sys and battery so I can review later on ?
Yes install BetterBatteryStats (available for free on the devs thread). It will show you what is keeping the phone awake since that is probably the cause of your battery being drained. Install it and let it standby for a while without touching. Update the thread with the statistics BBS gives you.
Also you should try posting questions in the Q&A forum next time
thanks and sorry
which on should I post ?
other, partial wakelocks, kernel wakelock, alarms or process ?
i have that app.. i just dont know like whats bad and whats not?? my battery seems ok but i just wish i knew how to use the app..
With no wifi on you are going to drain quick if you have spotty service. You can even go to settings, battery, and then see what is using your battery.
I also have this problem somedays I will have great battery life around 20 hours and other times I get around 12 hours, today for example my phone been of charger 2 hour about ten min of screen time and battery already at 80 percent, I do have better battery stats and have never seen a wakelock or anything like that.
so i should go under partial wakelocks and what do i look for>>??? i have mad stuff under it.. what do i look for >???

I am not an expert on the app it I believe you look for anything that says wakelock, well atleast that's what I do from my understanding a wakelock means the phone was woken up by a certain app someone please correct me if I am wrong here

I have had similar issues, even went to bed before at 50% to wake up turned off from dead battery and all my data syncing stops at night based on schedules I have set.
Few things I have noticed.
I have plugged my phone in a few times, battery light turn orange like it's charging but the battery icon not move (as if is not charging) and when I went at power it says (discharging) yet when not plugged in it just says (not plugged in) and when charging it says (charging). A simple unplug and plug fixes it but odd that it randomly happens. I hope is sw bug and not something hardware on my phone.
Also once got my phone in diag mode by mistake playing with the ## menus. When that is on the battery was about 50% of what it normally is and you never know it's on unless you see the screen on reboot. Turned it back off and all was better again.
Still have the random days it drains fast though and the random times it won't charge though light is orange.
On the right days though, it is great. I can get over a day on my normal use and that is with 5 email accounts (some push exchange and some imap) and some texting and web and light browsing.
I had the same issue for a while, I finally found out what is was. It was "Sync Internet". It was constantly running. Go to Settings >> Accounts & Sync >> Your Google Account(s) and see if "Sync Internet" has the sync icon next to the checkbox. It never stopped syncing and so it was draining my battery. I unchecked it and battery is working like a champ!
The *whole* internet??

Lol !
The only battery issues I've had with mine are when I disabled a ton of apps.
Sorry I posted that and then went to bed here's what you do:
Set it to detect 'since unplugged' and then let the phone idle for a nice amount of time to get good data. Then check under kernel wake locks and take a screen shot then just switch to partial ones and do the same. I'll look at them and try to help. I'm not an expert on it but it did help me back when I had a similar issue with my 3D.

Hi everyone
So I recently got a S2, upgraded it from stock Gingerbread to stock ICS via Kies, then flashed CM9. CM9 was great, but I quickly noticed worse battery drain than that of GB. I sorted out all wakelocks, now facebook is the top one in better battery stats list and it's only 10mins in a day so I don't think that's a problem. When charging, vbus_present shows up and keeps the phone from sleeping, but that's a normal thing when the phone is plugged, right? CPUspy shows the phone is in deep sleep the majority of time I don't use it, so I assume I have no wakelock problem.
But even then, the battery still seems a bit bad. When in deep sleep with wifi and mobile data off, it would lose around 1.5% per hour; and with moderate/high use (internet with wifi or gaming), I'd be lucky to have it last 3 hours. Charging to 100% from zero takes about 3 hours.
I also tried recalibrating the battery through BC, but haven't noticed too much of a difference.
Recently I found a guide on disabling fast dormancy via the build.prop file. Still waiting for results though.
So, my questions
1, My battery usage seems normal, doesn't it? 1.5% per deep sleep hour is acceptable I guess, but 3 hours of usage seems a bit short. Too short.
2, What effects does fast dormancy have?
1) Totally unacceptable. Mine lasts at least 7-8 hours with high use..
Does your phone heat up while the heavy use ???
What brightness level do you use for the display ???
How many apps do you have that can gain internet access ???
2) By default, the Samsung Galaxy S II has Fast Dormancy support enabled. One of the goals of Fast Dormancy is to increase the battery life of a device, by limiting the amount of signaling between the phone and the cell network. But, when Fast Dormancy it is not enabled in the network and is enabled on the phone it ironically works the other way around, and actually drains more battery than before.
Luckily, Fast Dormancy can be disabled on the phone. For the Galaxy S II, do the following:
Dial *#9900#
Press “Disable Fast Dormancy“
Press “Exit“.
Easy as that!
Thanks for the suggestion I have brightness manual and at around 20%. Wifi is disabled when not used, and mobile data is always turned off unless I need it, so basically apps only get internet access when I want them to. I have also disabled sync for both google and facebook, but fb still pushes notifications to me while it's connected. Is that a major battery drain, and if yes, how to disable it?
Anyways, facebook, instagram, youtube are the only apps than can access the internet. No messengers or anything that may keep a wakelock.
My phone doesn't heat up during normal use, maybe a bit when I do some gaming (Max Payne?)
Also, *#9900# doesn't do anything on my phone. It doesn't bring up a menu or anything like that.
Bump. Guys?

Install BetterBatteryStats (search for it on here/Google Play), might help you nail what's causing the drain.
Yes I did, as said in my original post. After a night the highest wakelock are just around 10 minutes, and that one was facebook. Uninstalling it however had no effect.
Delivered using Nyan Cat's rainbow powers.
Thinking logically, there's got to be something else in those stats (partial wakelocks in particular) that's causing that drain. There's no way having fast dormancy enabled/disabled is either going to cause/fix the drain you've mentioned getting '3 hours of usage'; (I can get 5 & a bit hours screen on with CM9 & variable usage/mostly 'moderate' use) given everything else you say you've tried.
Post BBS logs here if you want someone to have a look.
Edit to add - Also post a screenshot of the 2nd screen in settings/battery, the one that has history 'details' at the top, with the 'mobile network signal' bar underneath the main battery graph.
Here you go: pastebin.com/1UwicChJ
I just registered half a day ago and don't have enough posts yet to paste links, so sorry the phone was only on battery for nearly 2 hours with some light browsing and facebook, but I hope it works.
Anyway, I looked through my running processes, and dsp manager is the only non-OS process running, besides facebook. I got CM9 so it came by default. Could dspmanager be the culprit?

It's a new phone he's got there and I doubt it could be anything battery related itself.
I'm using CM9 nightlies and I get around 9 hours moderate use. It has been said though that a lot of these CM9 builds have battery drain and heat issues.
I use Juicedefender to help with the battery life which seems to work.

About 1/3 of this time was on wifi browsing. The drop is much more drastic if I play games.

A couple of observations. There's nothing that stands right out in the BBS log. The other one is, looking at that graph you've lost ~15% over a bit under 2 hrs. The screen has been on most of the time the phone has been awake (confirmed by the BBS log) if you look at the respective bars. You've also been using WiFi for most of the time the screen has been on/phone has been awake.
Roughly speaking, going by the screenshot, you'd get ~5hrs+/- screen on time if you kept using the phone in the same way you had during that just under 2 hrs, and this is pretty much normal. I haven't had drain issues for ages, so I double checked my details on the 2nd screen of settings/battery to make sure CM9 is reporting these details accurately (screenshot attached). Certainly in my case, this screenshot reflects what my phone had been doing for the just under 5 hrs it had been off charge/since last reboot; that is, >90% of the time in idle/deep sleep. So it probably isn't CM9 reporting these details inaccurately in your case either.
The BBS log & screenshot don't illustrate the problem you talked about in your OP. Now, if I had to take a stab in the dark at what's causing problems when you do have them (and FWIW, I do believe you're having the problems you mentioned in your OP at times), in the absence of any other info, maybe your WiFi router is constantly sending the phone packets (what's been referred to as a 'dirty router' on here before) when you're connected to WiFi & not actually using it. This scenario has been known to cause relatively high levels of drain.
So to be honest with you, based on that screenshot & the BBS log, I'm not really seeing a problem.
Now, if you want to post the same again when you actually have a problem with drain similar to what you described in your OP, happy to have a look at them. But for that ~2hrs covered by the BBS log & screenshot you posted, that's pretty much normal.

Okay, much appreciated so I guess I'll take it from your reply that 5 hours with wifi browsing isn't too bad. Seems okay, but I still find it a bit strange that (in my case) wifi browsing uses just as much battery as games do. I always thought it was a light activity!
Or maybe it wasn't the battery that had a problem, but that I set my expectations a bit too high. I came to this S2 from a BlackBerry 9700, whose battery would last half a week with very frequent use. But anyway, I just got this phone for a week, so I consider myself a pretty heavy user. Probably when I get familiar with it, I won't feel the need to play with it every five minutes and battery will last a bit longer then! xD
Nah. Anything with screen on is far from 'light activity'. Screen consumes far & away the most juice. In saying that, I've seen some people on here say they can get 8-9 hrs screen on with 2000mAh battery. How they do it I have absolutely no idea.
But if yeah, 5 hrs with the screen on most of the time whether browsing or playing games (games in particular are very CPU/GPU intensive & thus use a lot of zzzzs; unless they're really basic games like chess or similar), or anything else isn't too bad. Can you do better ? Obviously, if people say they can get 8-9 hrs. But it's not a matter of doing A, B & C and you'll magically end up with massive screen on times. Every phone is setup & used differently, and getting the absolute max out of every charge takes a lot of trial & error and experimenting with settings/setup.
There are tons of threads about the subject on here if you feel like going down that path. For me, I'm happy with the battery life I get these days because you can really obsess over it & spend a lot of time stressing over it/trying to maximise it for often very little gain. I'd rather simply use my phone a lot during the day & charge it at night.
Yeah Crackberries are like Japanese cars, they can run on fumes pretty much ;-) Having a dual core processor, a decent GPU & a huge screen kinda changes things.
There is one thing you can do fairly easily tho. And that's to make sure the phone spends as much time as possible in deep sleep when you're not using it. That will ensure that you have enough juice to get you by when you do want to use it. Simple ways to help achieve that is to turn off data/WiFi completely when you're not using it (tho many people don't like to do this for different reasons; which is perfectly OK if you're happy to live with the resultant drain), and make sure you've got no apps that are doing things they shouldn't be doing (like syncing, for example) while the phone should be sleeping. Again, there are lots of threads about same if you ever feel like a bit of light reading ;-)
So yeah, if you do find you experience drain that's not normal/outside the usual pattern you have, definitely post details & people can have a look for you. And as you said, you'll get to know what really is normal with regard to drain & so on is as you use the phone more (I tended to use it constantly for that first couple of weeks as well).

Already took such measures. Wakelocks killed my battery over my first night with the phone, and I woke up after 7 hours to find a ~50% battery completely empty. Now things are alright, I clear CPUSpy stats before I sleep and wake up to around 95% of deep sleep time. Overnight drain varies between 5 and 10%.
And yes, yes you are right. Maybe I should stop going nuts. I'm checking BBS and CPUSpy every hour, reading every XDA thread on battery, and calculating my battery drainage every morning I wake up :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Re: dirty/'noisy' WiFi networks, have a look at this post as an example of what I was talking about above.

Umm...so I just woke up, and noticed a wakelock in the kernel category. It was PowerManagerService, and it occupied around half an hour. Overnight, aftet I've slept 10 hours (got a day off ), my battery came from 24% down to 13%. That's a rate of roughly 1% per hour. Is that normal? And also, what is that PowetManagerService wakelock?

Hey,
I could not find a thread like this via the search bar, so I am opening one up. How much battery does your stock S3 consume by just lying there? I am losing about ten percent overnight, which seems a bit too much for me. Is that normal?
Thanks!
Wait till you get about 70 percent discharge overnight then you'll have something to worry about.

thanks for the reply, but that's not really what i wanted to know...
If you searched or read the multiple battery threads then you would have found that yes it is normal .
All depends upon what running .

At night I turn off wifi and data, my battery drops 3%, with data on and wifi off about 5% ( about 8 hours)
Based on reviews on the net it is possible to get it drop 6% in 16 hours with data and wifi on, not getting to this myself but happy enough.

It is very normal for Stock rom to consume that much battery.. However you can save more battery by going into Wifi > advanced > Keepy wifi on during sleep > Select Only when plugged in... Plus disabling wake up commands such as the ones for S Voice, or Google Now can increase battery life upto a great extent.
Also try turning off location services for apps that you don't use that often or the ones that don't really require location services that much.
I had 10 to 15% drop the night, after installing Chrome (because of google sync issue)
but after removed it.. im back to 6-7%
Anyway Dolphin is better
I can only say from memory ...

I can only say from memory - a very clean S3 should get at most 2-3% discharge overnight (even with WiFi, data, BT and GPS started). That might no longer be achievable once you have a number of programs that interact and keep the CPU from staying into deep sleep.
Currently I am seeing at most 1-2% with my configuration - but that involves closing the 4 above before going to bed.(and to get to that point I had to drop a number of programs that were bad in this regard).
Do your own tests with that - look around after BetterBatteryStats.apk or something like that!

Can I ask what your current configuration is?
I am currently running Omega v32.1 with the stock kernel.
I hardly use my phone during the day as I am at work for 12 hours, maybe send a few texts. 3g and sync are always on
I take it off charge at 5.30AM and when I get home at like 8PM it is down to less than 10%... and thats not even heavy use.
I have calibrated the battery using that batterycalibrate app for root users..
Hello,
I wanted to get your guys opinion as I believe my phone may have turned defective and I really don't want to go down the Warranty Route as I'll loose the phone for weeks. And willing to try anything suggested.
So here's the problem:
Battery Draining at very high rates. On stock battery, I am draining about 12% an hour, after 6 or so hours my 15% battery capacity left warning turns on. I figured it was the battery, so bought a double capacity 4200mAh Hyperion Battery. Now my battery drain is at 6% an hour (which is equivalent to the factory battery considering the double capacity).
I am currently on XXELKC 4.1.2 Stock ROM. When I first noticed the problem, I was on 4.1.1. Figured I would ODIN, Wipe all cache's, and start clean. This has made no affect on battery life.
Here's what I've tried:
- 4.1.1, 4.1.2 Stock ROMs from Wipe - High Drain
- Airplane Mode with Location Services Disabled - High Drain, but 4.5% an Hour instead of 6% an Hour.
- Disabled all Samsung Apps - seemed to have little impact
- Disabling Google Now has made zero impact on battery life.
- 4.1.1 BBS revealed nothing - may need to try again on 4.1.2
Any ideas? Or is this sounding like the phone? Is it possible after a wipe the phone, when I re-enter my Google Credentials it is restoring some data which is defunct and causing high drain?
Note: Screen shots are with the double capacity battery taken right after a clean Odin upgrade to 4.1.2. Only ran Android Activation and thats it.
It looks like your phone isnt going to sleep properly. Try a custom rom/kernel.
Have you done a full whipe ?? If not, do so, and don't forget to make a back up first. It worked for me !

I had similar issues, I factory reset worked, and I also download rescan media root app to disable the media scanner which was my main battery killer.
WHen you do the factory reset make sure your phone is connected to the internet, so it will prompt google to store the apps you have and remote install when you sign back into the phone.
I have performed a full wipe but that had minor impact on battery life but I wounder if the Google Restore possibly restored an invalid setting. I will try this again without entering my credentials and see if there is a link with a restored setting. I will have to give the rescan media app a try as well.

Any specific kernel in mind. From what I've been reading no kernel seemed to stand up to magically solve battery issues without voltage drop or cutting services like Google now from the rom.
use better battery stats app to determine what is causing those wake locks.

I have attached a run with BBS for 1 hour. Nothing is really standing out. The phone was in deep sleep for all but 2 minutes. I did have Google Now and Location Services Disabled as that was eating away an impressive 10 minutes / hour from deep sleep. But my battery life only increased from 6% an hour to 4.5% an hour. An improvement but weak IMO considering the larger battery.
Results from BBS is attached.
I once had that kinda issue too
What I did was Factory Reset and that did the trick for me
How about trying the app CPU sleeper?

I've had this issue before on the i9100 Galaxy S II, where it didn't seem to matter what I did, it chewed battery just as soon as I put my Google account back onto the handset. I believed it was caused by the Samsung calendar bug. So absolutely; try it without putting your Google account onto the device.
Also, your WiFi signal looks low, although this has less of a difference compared to having low mobile coverage...

your first post has a huge amount of wakeocks that arent going to be reflected with an hours run on BBS. If i were you id charge it to 100%, unplug just before going to bed and then show us the BBS log in the morning so people can see whats happening over an 7-8 hour peroid

Also leaving your Bluetooth On all the time is going to drain the battery pretty quickly.

its not wifi always on, my wifi is always on too and i lose 2% over an 8 hour standby period.
Its more what apps are using the wifi connection and waking the phone up, thats what the op needs to look into
I have to say ive had pretty bad battery lately aswell. If op doesnt mind I might post my bbs log tomorrow sometime

More information can't hurt. Post in and Maybee there is a correlation.
OK. So I went ahead with your suggestions and did the following
Factory Wipe again from Settings Menu
Went back to factory Samsung battery for consistency in reports to other users
Took out both my sim and sdcard to eliminate those possibilities
Put into airplane mode
Disabled a bunch of apps (ss on next post)
Still bismal results but better than before. 7 percent an hour drain. Attached all the files. Ideas? Google says phone is awake but bbs doesn't seem to shed any clues for me...
And here are the disabled and installed apps
your phone isnt going to sleep at all....something is keeping it awake..try a stock rom ( any will do) with full wipe. Dont restore anything with titanium backup. Disable auto sync on everything. Set wifi sleep policy to always. See if the problem persists.

That last run posted was stock 4.1.2 XXELKC firmware and Factory Wipe from Settings Menu. I also performed Wipe and Cache Wipe in the Bootloader (Power Up + Center + Power). All I did was install bbs and never put in Google or Samsung credentials and disabled some stock apps from running.
If your not referring to factory Wipe, can you please explain further? Thanks.
I'm not exactly sure what is causing it to drain like this. I'm assuming it's not supposed to be this bad otherwise nobody would be using it.
Strange. ..
No bother here, AOD I have no use for especially with extra battery drain.
It can't be the AOD. I've been playing around with this since your post yesterday. I've been unplugged since before 6am and it is now after 1pm here. Battery usage is saying I've been unplugged for over 7.5 hours. In that time, I've used 15% with 7% in the last three hours. Since then, I've had AOD on, watched a few youtube videos, listened to music from the SD card for about an hour, checked email and texts, checked G+ a couple of times, and scrolled through Instagram. Phone idle is reading 4% usage, Android OD is 2%, Google Services 2%, Screen 2%, Music 1%, Android System 1%, Youtube 1%. Which leaves a few mystery processes that didn't register enough to warrant a 1%.
Hi,
Make sure in aod settings that brighter display is not enabled. I agree with the previous post that since having the phone for a week and a half that aod is very minimal on battery usage. Personally I think it is a great feature since there is no led to show missed text or emails. I just glance at the screen to see if I missed any without having to unlock the phone.
Thanks,
Bryan
AOD might take 10% over 8 hrs at most. You def got something else happening.

I'm not sure what's eating it up then. I have wifi enabled but I don't think that should cause so much discharge.
Can you try the test again tonight in airplane mode? That will give a more accurate result.

I'm not sure what's eating it up then. I have wifi enabled but I don't think that should cause so much discharge.

Maybe try to turn off anything that syncs and test again? Im thinking Google auto syncs and the like.
phone idle 39% then second is android OS at 31%
39%? You definitely need to look into what else is running because I can tell you it isn't AOD. I get about 1%-ish per hour for phone idle.

Do you recommend something? Nothing tells me in detail to what is causing the discharge. My phone is not rooted and I don't really plan on doing it. Now it's saying idle 55% and Android OS 41%
No idea what to tell you to look at. I just know that I'm running AOD my phone sips 1% of battery over an hour's time if I leave it alone. There's something else going on with your phone when it idles.
Personally, I'd do a master reset ... if it continues - and not associated with an app - trade that sucker in for a new one.
Okay so this may sound odd and I can't officially say it's related but I disabled google's location history on my old phone and so far there's a noticeable difference. I will test it at night when I go to sleep. Usually by the morning 30% of the batter is drained.
Did you try to disable all google syncing?
This is really weird. I just checked my phone and I've had it off of a charger for the past 9 hours. I'm only down 10% battery and only 3% phone idle battery usage. I checked my google location history and that's turned on as expected.

So I left it the same way I normally would over night and this time it drained 9% instead of the usual 30%. Although the usage still says 41% on idle. I don' t know what's going on. I may have to do a factory reset as suggested by someone else
I noticed something weird. If you've got sync on for all of Google services but have each app (Like Drive, Etc) setup to update on Wi-Fi only, it might keep it attempting to sync forever. I went into each individual app and changed to update over Wi-Fi and data. Then the sync completed. Not sure if this is relevant but I thought it worth looking into if you've got sync on.
