Hello!
I think that my battery is "dead". I have been working with NeatRom ICS but my battery could only last for.... 5-6 hours? I've tried to change the kernel, but nothing happened. Yesterday for example, as I was "playing" with my phone and my battery was at 49%, I rebooted it and after the reboot my battery was at 2%!
Now, I just have installed Asnet's Miui. Before 15 minutes, my battery was at 10%. Now it is at 1%!
I used "Battery life" apps, and they all say that my battery is Good.
What is going on?
Thanks in advance. :laugh:

hi buddy .. as u have mentioned 10 to 1 percent in 15 minutes .. as u have installed new ROm is not a big deal .. Charge ur battery then use ur phone normally .. then check if ur battery is draining .. or u can use BATTERY STATS for more fine analysis of ur battery ..

It isn't only that. I have been using NeatRom for more than two-three weeks. The most that my battery could last was 5 to 6 hours.

Remove your battery and put it on a glass table and spin it. If it spins you need a new battery, its gone.

install better battery stats and see whats using ur battery on a more detailed manner
It must be probably due to a bug in the rom that u installed
try installing a new rom or atleast try a custom kernel over the rom

Hi All,
i am using a non rooted SGS2 in india. its running on the latest android firmware 2.3.6 (waiting for ICS.. )
the problem i am facing is that from past few days i see my battery drains very very quickly.. even if there is nothing running in background. i am using juice defender ultimate.. i guess its not helping either..
also it takes like forever to charge up.. i mean i plug my phone for charging at 17% after 2 hours it just reached to 21%..
at times while charging it through the USB.. it seems to be discharging.. it was at 37% after some time its reduced to 29%..
Also my phone heats up a lot for unnecessary reasons..
has any one faced this issue? please help...

first of all what programs run in background of your device?
second, what battery you use ? (1650 mAh 2000 mAh)
have you looked at your battery if the battery is working 100% or if the battery is damaged?
what rom is running on your device, which kernel do you use?
Could happen from rom. Here in germany the official 2.3.6 update was cancelled because of problems containing battery drain und reboots. Perhaps same stock rom problems in development.

i think your battery is gone. Maybe try charging it with the phone off or something. and if it it goes to 100% u can try download the battery calibration app on market to calibrate it properly. I would try everything i can before sending it back to samsung.
sounds like hardware problem mate, the phone should warm up when plugged but it shouldn't be above 35°C or so, and the slow charge problem could be related
if you can get another battery to test it out, or just buy a new one
good luck
You could try to reset your battery stats before going out buying a new battery.
thanks guys for your suggestions..
i uninstalled some of the crappy apps that i never used.. & voila my phone is back to normal .. less heat up.. battery lasts for 1 day.. hope it stays that way..
waiting for ICS..
@jeroensk - how can reset my battery stats..?
Clear battery stats boot to cwm recovery >> advanced wipe battery stats
But you will need a cwm and rooted phone ..
As battery stats do not need wiping dont worry about it battery automatically calibrates itself .
Some muppets think wiping battery stats actual does something . |It does not play any part in charging the battery or battery life on SGS2 .
jje
This is a simple way to increase the battery life in cyanogenmod... this worked for me,..
1. Goto cwm and clear the battery stats
2. Charge the phone to 100% (make sure it is 100% by checking the battery status..)
3. NOw allow it to completely discharge ... do not connect the charger until the phone is shutdown automatically...
4. Once the phone turned off due to complete draining of the battery, charge it and use it normally..,
hope it helps
i have a better idea, bring powerbank 5200ma or up, when u go out. ur device will not run out battery even on hard gaming all day long. like i did

is that a battery?? how much is the cost?
is that a battery? yes n no
yes, because it need to be charged
no, because its not a spare battery that u can plug it to ur device
it's a portable charger, in here indonesia it cost me Rp310000 or around $32

yep, maybe it doesnt help but it work for me
1st charge 100% while phone is on
2nd reboot to cwm n wipe battery stats
3rd turn the phone off then charge it to 100%, cause it will tell u that ur battery isnt full yet (charge it about 20 minutes or more)
4th turn it on while still charging
5th unplug the charger n use ur phone as usual

I'm not trying to argue here, I'm just saying that wiping the stats won't help improving battery life. So if you say so, on what basis?
Anyways, cheers!
not improving battery life but, correcting current battery stats. it happen when u often switch rom n restore from cwm then u feel like ur battery drain more quickly than usual, so i tried the method i post earlier n it works

The battery stat is wiped to calibrate the battery... We may have to calibrate the battery after every rom install..

i have a serious issue with my device , my device indicating wrong battery status (which i think so) , whenever i try to charge my device it starts charging 1% after every 2-3 sec and even more faster discharging rate, so i changed my battery with another one but still same result . my phone take 10% of juice within 30 sec of uses.
the problem begins when i switched back to stock ics rom after using a lot of roms without flashing the kernels . now i tried everything i m on stock rom with stock sony kernel , even more i tried stock GB rom but same result again .
currently i m on.....
stock .587 firmware
formatted D-card
locked bootloader
stock SONY kernel.
How can i solve this issue. please help me, its so annoying
thanx!

download this from playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration
charge till 100%, start the app, press calibrate and then unplug your phone from charger. your phone must be rootet.
after calibration use your phone till it has only 1 or 2 % left, then charge again to 100% without interrupt. dont calibrate again.
if the problem still isnt fixed with calibration, try this:

...It could be that your power meter has gone wonky and this can be reset by charging the phone to 100% and then removing the battery and the usb cable from the phone for 10 minutes. Return the battery to the phone and charge it back up to 100%.

My friend, i can see you have problem with the batery life. I don't know if any of you has noticed this, but when the phone is charging and it reaches 100%, you shouldn't remove the charger. The phone is still charging even after reaching 100%,sometimes for half an hour. If you want to see when the phone is fully charged, go to Settings-About phone-Phone status. In the first field you can find if the phone is or is not fully charged. Try this and let's see what happens. I hope i can help some of you.
see the pictures u can understand...
Before charing is complete evn when it is 100% charged

thanx for replying but the problem is still there ,i perform all the operation as u guys mentioned but no good result :crying:
I once had problems with the Mediaserver which was draining my batterie.
it did so because of 2 Videos he didn't recognize, i also heard the Mediaserver can run crazy if the sd card is broken.
So which app is using your batterie that much?

Can you post a screenshot from the first battery screen? That one will show which process are using the battery up. In places of the screen shot you posted, it looks like there is a problem with your phone staying awake when the screen is off.

battery is not draining, actually it is showing wrongly .... every time after removing battery it shows actual amount of battery remaining , yesterday i charged my phone several time until it reached actually 95% and then i starts playing temple run, the battery indicator reaches at 1% within 20 mins and then it remains at 1% charged until 3 hours of continuous gaming and then shuts off, then i put it on charging and it reaches 100% within 15%
and yesterday night i put my phone again into charging and today morning it is showing 100% and after 6 hours of moderate use it is still 100%

Charge the battery to 100% and boot into cwm and clear battery stat :good:
Or Reinstall Rom will do the job :angel:
It's time for you to change your battery!
No kidding!
I have gone through the same phase for months.. Battery falling from 50 to 1 in an instance and then sticking to 1% for hours..
I changed my battery and all was okay after that!
"Did I ever tell you the definition of Insanity "
I have the same problem.
20% ---> 1%.
I tried to go in cwm and clear battery stat...but it not change.

Then surely you need to change ur one battery :good:
the most annoying problem in canvas hd is the battery drop problem.
For some users the battery may drop all of a sudden from 34% to 12% while for some it may be different. For me it was always 34% - 12%.
Now the one important thing that I observed was that when I used to charge my mobile , the charging jumped straight from 76% to 100% . In my view the battery was never charged for the last 20%. And it was this 20% that appeared as the sudden drop.
Now coming to the solution..
Battery calibration and wiping batterystats.bin actually never solved the problem because I tried both.I don't know if changing the Kernel did.
So I have come up with one solution that won't disappoint you..
Follow the steps..
1. Let your battery drain to below 10%.. say 8% ..
2. Charge your battery like u always do..
3. When the battery reaches 100% , do not disconnect the charger, go to System settings and then battery and check the graph..(don't disconnect the charger because doing so will reset the graph).
4. notice the sudden increase in battery charging.
5. Use the phone as u always do and let it discharge to 70% ..
6.Here comes the LIFE SAVING STEP..Now what you have to do is charge your phone in one go..there should be no interruption in charging..If the electricity goes off even for a second..the whole process fails..so prefer using a UPS..
7. Let the battery charge to 100% and use normally.
8. Its my guarantee that the battery drop is gone.
The bad part..
The problem reappears after a reboot.. and we have to repeat the procedure again.
Come on , Don't be PANIC about sudden drop ,First of All letting the battery drop from 100% to 1% leads to fluctuation in battery volt,be aware about it ,Don't use your chd while charging is most important ! if you may use your chd normally like noob users who only use fb.watsupp etc whenever they need ,it won't drop like 30-12% ,fast drain made by users leads to bloat of battery ! high volt ofbattery from 90-100% has corrosive effect if you drain fast then your battery would PREGNANT or fat or swell
DON"T PANIC USE YOUR DEVICE AS A PHONE

well this is silly I've had same problem but after battery calibration it doesn't appear again and if you're using your phone processor constantly at high power As for Huge game or something then faster battery drain is normal !
I use DS Battery Saver which helps me saving my battery as per my use ! worth a try !!
