did you try changing the cable? because almost all the S3 charging cables are faulty. there are already many posts relating to slow battery charging. have a deep search mate. :good:

I saw these threads, but nothing works..I mention that the problem persist since I changed the stock kernel on 4.3 with litegx(just wiping dalvik-is that wrong?)...I tried my cable on another s3 and working fine :-??

Changing Data Cable will Solve the problem, i have changed 3 data cables, and worked everytime when i changed the cable. i have seen this problem with most S3 users(friends)...

Hello guys,
I'm a little bit desperate with my battery. One month ago I updated from ICS to JB in my s2 i9100 and the horrible loop started:
- Between 100-70% of charge everything is going more or less ok
- Suddenly, phone turns off. After restarting, the battery is around 40% and very unstable
- Now it's even worse, without charger, the phone remains up only 15-20 minutes.
I tried EVERYTHING:
- All the roms for JB (all versions of RR, Paranoid Android) with all the combination of Kernels (CM10, Siyah and Dorimanx)
- Go back to ICS (of course, for every ROM I give to the phone 2-3 days to stabilise it)
- Battery calibration tools of the play store (even I paid 3$ for one of them)
- Battery calibration without being ROOT (the trick of this thread did not work. I tried 3 times)
- Reset fuel gauge chip from the ex-Tweaks
...
Any other idea/clue?
I'm about to give up, I think I'm going to get a new battery. I prefer to pay 15-20$ than spending hours trying to figure it out.
The last question. I'm assuming that a brand new battery will fix this problem. Am I right? I'm afraid of buying a new battery and facing the same issue.
If I get a new one I am supposed to do some operation on the phone before to install it?
Currently I'm using RR 3.1.1 with dorimanx kernel.
Thank you very much in advance!*
You guys do an AWESOME job with this forum.
How is your battery now? Did you try to remove it for a while? Did you test to wipe battery stats in recovery?

My battery SUCKS now. If I'm using the telephone in a normal way (surfing, music, videos)... it goes down every 30 minutes.
I'm going to try to remove for a while right now. You mean, minutes, hours, days?
Yes, I tried to wipe battery stats from recovery with no results.
Thank YOU very much for your interest
just remove it 2-3 min but i don't think it will be better. Can you tell me how is it after. Thanks.

Try RootBox 3.0 with dorimanx 7.4. I've been using it since it came out with no problems.
If you're worried about battery try better battery stats to check the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Hello
I updated my Galaxy S2 via Odin(PC) from Stock 4.0.4 to Stock 4.1.2. All went fine, phone works smooth and fast. But there was a massive battery drain. Therefore i wiped data/cache, did a factory reset, everything is new an fresh. Phone still works smooth and fast but battery drain doesn't change. Take a look at the screenshot. Is there something i can check and change?
Thanx in advance.
Greetings
Nicolas
Chill let the rom settle for a while, the battery is usually weird after a flash use it for a few cycles and then it should be alright

Thanx for your reply. But i cannot confirm that. Never had such a behavior. Flashed a few ICS 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 Roms and either thery're draining or not unless i'm able to change or fix somthing. It never improves on its own. Maybe it's my bad luck only.
Do we really need another "battery drain/problem" thread?
The answers you get here are going to be no different to the other topics that already cover this so please use search in future and get your answers quicker instead of duplicating topics that add to dilution of forum.

Yes, you are right. But i read a lot about battery drain problem in the dev thread and also tried a few, ok not all, things to fix it. Until nothing works for me i wanted to upload my battery stats but wasn't allowed to because i'm a noob. Therefore i opened up a new threat to upload my screenshot and hope someone has the right advice for me or just simply says "bad luck my friend. This Roms seems not to work for you".
And sorry again if i don't behave the right way.

I;m not talking about the specific rom thread I'm speaking in general. We have plenty of Q&A/general topics about battery drains etc have a good search and read.

Yes i will.
But, generally, flashing different Roms causes different issues. Reading solutions based on different ROMs, Custom ROMs, etc. isn't very helpful. There may be general solutions for this damn battery draining problem. But until now nothing fits to me.
In the end i hope to find a solution or i will go back to ics.
Have a nice day

Your absolutly right, i read many problems, but with those stats are weird.
1) Just try to re-flash the ROM and after go to recovery and clear everything(dalvik, data etc).
2) Use the option to reboot.
3) Turn off phone -> remove the battery -> Try to turn the phone ON without battery one or 2 times -> wait 2-5minutes more without doing nothing -> Battery back in.
4) Charge up to 100% (when the icon appears).
5) Wait for 1-3 cycles and check if its ok.
6) If you have media draining check my signature link.
Issue solved, probably
I probably solved my battery drain issue while doing what CrisR82 suggested in his post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37227296&postcount=10017
" Battery drain is caused by a permanent wake-lock (I had that issue).
For everyone with that problem, here's what I did and got rid of it:
1 - fully drain your battery (0%, to the point where it won't power-on at all)
2 - recharge your battery without turning on the phone
3 - go to recovery mode and wipe both data and cache
NOTE: backup all your contacts, messages, whatever...this will delete everything!
(I formatted my USB storage aswell before step 1, but I think that's not necessary)
No wake-lock for me, 17 hours use, 12% battery down (only checking the clock every once in a while)."
As it seems it worked for me also. Did it yesterday evening and keep in mind i did a factory reset therefore i had to reinstall everything. Battery is behaving normally again.
Maybe this helps the one or the other.

Now, right solution
Ok, my mistake!
At first it seems that there is an improvment in battery life like i said in the above post. There is ... but slightly. Not enough, not acceptable at all.
To make it short.
I did a clean install. That's it. Wiped everthing, pumped the battery up to 100% and flashed Samsung Stock jb 4.1.2 again. And it works now.
Thanks all for your advice.

My first battery cycle went up to 2d 11h 34m 12s.. now im on my second cycle.. so far is 61% 1d 2h 39m 24s..

Me again.
My battery drained in 21 hours even after reinstalled everything after a full wipe. Couldn't find out what process caused the drain. Used bbs and its stats say android os, screen and Android in sleepmode is using most of the battery.
I'm back on 4.0.4 now. Waiting for next jb version.

Thought I should share that I tried the same and face the same issue. Before JB, on completely stock 4.0.4 (no root), I would charge after three full days (72 hrs). Moderate/normal use - no heavy gaming. Under JB it drained in less than 24 hrs with very moderate use - mostly idle. Back on ICS i now get the same battery time as before.
I should add that my phone came new with ICS 4.0.4 installed. Two friends of mine have upgraded theirs all the way from GB -> ICS -> JB and they exeperience significant battery improvement. Being a noob, I don't understand whether this makes any difference. Simply coincidence?
All the best.

New ROMs are always smoother than previous ones, once you flash em you get in cant-put-it-down mode. You need at least 1 week to judge battery life on any ROM. A couple of days to set it up and a few days to see how it behaves.
Once you get things going you never go back, that's a fact.
Be careful on 4.0.4.

Use philz, apollo kernel. If your battery showing these results with every rom like cm10, aokp, stock then it must change your battery.

flash a custom kernel after u flash your rom check whether its helping
But i seriously doubt that it has to be the battery
Get it replaced if the above wont work
My battery percentage is showing me 2% or less all the time even if I am charging my mobile for the whole day... I faced this problem after changing charging through USB connection to 900 mAH via Boeffla Config. V2 and I was running Boeffla Kernel V5 as it was working fine with me on Yank555's kernel... I a lot of thing but nothing worked with me, I used reset.zip for Boeffla Config. V2 app... I calibrated battery more than once... I flashed another kernels after wiping cache and dalvik cache... I installed new ROMs after full wipe and full format but the problem still exist... Now I am working with NeatROM Lite and Chinese repacked kernel and the problem is still with me ... Any fast help plzzz, It is very urgent to me.
I did full wipe and format and downgraded to Omega 4.2 and back to 4.3 but the problem still the same.. I kept the phone in the charger from the night till the morning and it reached 60% I think ... It is not about the cable or the battery as I tried both of them on another device and they worked well... Any ideas !?
Same issue as many previous posts, rules say search and read before creating a new thread.
Replace your charger, lead and battery. Flash to full stock rom and factory reset. If still the same then you need a new motherboard

Man, It is not about battery drain... It is about not charging.. When I plug the charger and w8, I see the percentage of the battery is going down not up.. I tried full wipe and format and calibrating battery "But I can't do it on 100% as I can't recharge it" and nothing worked with me.
My dad died the day before yesterday and I am not in the mood for the phone at all but it is important for everyone as u all know guys "RIP Dad"
