I'm used to getting about 1% an hour from my battery, drains a bit more when I use it heavily obviously.
But suddenly a few days ago, literally it was fine one day and rubbish the next, it started draining very fast, a few % every 30mins.
On Friday after unplugging it for work and the battery was still draining fast, I decided to let it completely drain out and then charge it back up while it was off and see what happened. It was unplugged for 32mins and already on 96% which is not what I'm used to.
I'm not one of those people that are constantly fiddling with their phone installing this, that and the other. I've not installed a new app for months and months.
My usage hasn't changed either, occasional Facebook if I'm not at my main computer, playing solitaire on my break at work, other than that it's mostly email. But I took a few days off work this week so if anything I used it a lot, lot less than usual.
I didn't want to have to but I took my pictures off, noted my numbers down just in case and did a factory reset. Added my apps back on and disabled unnecessary things. While I was sleeping it's gone from 56% to 2% in 9.5 hours!
I need this phone for work tomorrow, can anyone help me please!?

The last 2% went over 30mins go so I need to charge it before I try anything again

Surely all the Samsung rubbish that's on there will add to the drain? I know it did when I first got the phone last year, I googled around seeing what to disable and it's worked perfect for almost a year now.

Stock drain is not a problem as you post .
Solutions .
Zero its an app draining .
One its the battery .
Two its the firmware .
Three its the hardware .
The stock rom and apps is not going to show that sort of drain .

The only apps I had on there was Facebook, Twitter, eBay, T-Mobile, PayPal, Solitaire, Bejewelled and the National Rail app for train times.
Those had all been on there for months though I hadn't added anything new for a very long time so could it still be an app?
Battery I only had a problem with when I got the phone it just didn't have a very long life which I gathered was a very common problem but I fixed it. I haven't dropped it or taken it out or anything.
When I found I could update to 4.3 I waited a while first but I did eventually update but this was a few weeks ago it's been as normal until this week so unless something has changed in 4.3 I don't think it's that.
Still charging at the moment, nearly halfway.
Right, green light meaning fully charged. I'm about to unplug, switch on and factory reset. What are my next steps?

Media server is your media files .
Boot animation is the animation at boot .
My suggestion would be to download battery calibration app from play . Charge battery to 100% and wipe battery stats .
This will only reset / clear the stats as yours seem a bit odd .
Follow that with Better Batters Stats and run that for a day looking for wakelocks .
Run it for a whole day!? Can I download anything else as I'll need the phone to email/call/play games at work
EDIT: Do you have to pay for better battery stats because I'm not prepared to do that

I'm losing a few% every 30mins which isn't normal. Is BBS Better Battery Stats? If so, I'm not paying for an app
My phone isn't rooted either, it's as I received it, so I can't use some of these apps

hi iguys,
i have some questions about the sgs 2
i got it since a few weeks and everything was fine,great battery life up to 17 hours zith light/ normal use.
i tried to flash cwm isecure kernel to flash roms, all went fine
then i found out rom manager is not yet fully compatible with sgs2
so i flashed back to stock firmware,now my battery life really sucks
with little use i can hardly get 6 or 7 hours out of it
and most of the time its just standby
i have everything off bluetooth,gps,wifi, display set to 10 percent, background sync
the only thing i have on is 3g connection..
i have better battery stats installed
and i see these 2 things always 100 percent full.
suspend/events
no matter what, theres no app draining because when i wipe everything to factory settings or through recovery, the drain remains, even with 3g off
also when i check my normal battery history,
i see 2 times android system in the stats, doesnt one need to say android os ? instead of two times system?
sorry if this is a double post, but i searched and couldnt find something similar then this.
hope you can help

You have BBS installed, good. Don't see under Processes but see under Partial Wakelocks, check which apps and processes are taking the max time. Something on background is definitely going on.

thanks for the reply, i checked and only facebookservice,rilj,mailserver,activitymanager have a smal redd line
and all are under 2/3 percent
the rest dont even have a red line going, today i swapped my battery at the store, but i dont see any difference, yet, just draining
Nobody else here to help me ?
better battery stats shows me nothing like an app or process
thats really going crazy..
i really have no clue what i did wrong to get this terrible battery life
hmm i really don't get why though, coz I have an awesome battery life with my S2, i got at least 2 days, with alot of calls n txts in between. I use it for my music player in the car as well, n i travel quite alot.

yes i tried, i also tried to wipe battery bin file through cwm, also with no succes,
my phone is charging now, so i am going to check how the battery life is with CM7 or another rom.
do you have 3g on all the time ?
i also have a question about the connections options, do you have an option to only use 2g ? in stock rom, i dont, i remember having it on my galaxy mini
Update, the new battery i got yesterday seem to have no change in my dramatic battery life,
i flashed CM7 build 38 last night,
and still the same, it drains like hell!

Hi guys,
Is anyone having battery drain issues with their new sgs3's?
With my one it wouldn't last 12 hours without dying. Also if its at 100% it'll drop to 70% overnight while i sleep (6-7 hours) and thats with power saver on, sync off and running juicedefender.
Today I factory reset the phone and only installed flash, whatsapp and dolphin browser. Have wifi on, sync, data, gps and bluetooth off. Havent got pictures of battery stats yet since I only reset it half an hour ago.
So is anyone else experiencing battery drain? if so have you fixed it? and how?
Are there any apps I should be aware of that drain the battery?
I would remove juice defender.
Uninstall lightflow app if you are using it.
Use betterbstterystats to identify any wakelocks. The xda thread of the same name will be able to help with solutions.
Other than that follow general tips on increasing battery life that are found all over xda.
This device is easily capable of much better battery life than you are getting.
Good luck.

No issues at all so far, in my case. In fact this is the first Android phone I've owned that has no battery-related issues
Based on my previous experience what you can try doing is (a) install CPU Spy to see if your phone is entering 'deep sleep' appropriately (b) install BetterBatteryStats to identify offending applications.
Even the 'Battery' section in settings is useful -- just check if any apps are keeping the phone awake for longer than you've actually used them ('Stay Awake' number).
ok well ive installed bad ass battery monitor since its free. Also since I did factory restore i charged it to full and in 1 hour 44 mins it used 7% on idle. Going to charge it to full again and use it normally to see how it is.
Only apps ive installed is XDA, badd ass battery, dolphin browser and whatsapp.

Not too happy with my battery either. Fully charged over night and its down to 89% 1hr 30 later. Is that normal? However, you did mention lightflow earlier though which I have installed - Is that a massive battery drain? My battery stats seem to show display as being the big culprit but I have brightness set to it lowest setting.
Also, can't seem to find battery monitor pro on play?

I'm on Omega V4.0 and with wifi always on, fully charged 3 hours back and when i woke up it's 95% remaining. So about 1.66% loss per hour in sleep mode. With regular usage and installing and testing different roms and backing up etc them i easily get about 8~10 hours. Phone's made in Korea and battery mfg date is 2012.5.6.
Plus tons of widgets on home screens.
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 !
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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.

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.

What I did was Factory Reset and that did the trick for me

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

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.
This is what happened...
yesterday at 7:00 AM my phone was at 98% Battery
Only Flight mod and Power saver mod was enabled,
Every thing else was disabled
Then i left home without taking my phone ( It was on my bed i forgot to take)
Later i returned home at 2:00 PM
And found my phone very hot.
Now the battery is at 14%
It says 88% of Battery was used for Android OS
Then i turned off my phone
After some time heat went off...
Then i turned on and plugged in for Charging
It Took 4 hours to charge 24% :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
Can anyone please explain whats happening ???
It sounds like something is keeping the cpu running, which is why android is is so high and explain the battery loss and heat. You could go into your settings and look at the running apps in applications manager, and see if anything is out of the ordinary.

Could be something like mediascanner scanning the sdcard if you hve one. GSAM and BBS are good apps to check wakelocks. The latter is better but it's a pay for app.

It only started after I flashed that leaked firmware. I have since rooted it and frozen out all the bloatware to no avail.
I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to solve this?

Well theres 2 things...
1) Like Laura, drain so excessive that when charging it is slow
2) No drain, just slow charging
Different answers for both situations. Are you 1 or 2?

It was in my pocket for like 30 mints or 45 mints..
Later i found my Ass on fire..:crying:
When i checked, both my phone and my ass was red hot..
Then i pulled out my battery
After some time re inserted it...
Now its working fine...
I think its going to happen again
Is there any way to find out which app is Killing my Battery ?

The best app IMHO is BetterBattery Stats. It's not free though, but it's a great asset. I have the widget on my home screen at all times. If you're not in a position to pay for an app, try GSAM, but BBS IS better. This will only be good until you pull the battery though so you need to ensure you check before rebooting. It will show you which apps are keeping the phone awake etc.

Yeah Mine also stared after I flashed with XXUFME7 Leaked Firmware...
Does your phone gets over heated during the charging time ?
Have you tried another cable for charging ?

I'm ready to Pay for BetterBattery Stats..
I don't mind if its a paid app or not as long as it servers me good...
After installing that app do I have to remove my battery and re-insert it ?
What rootSU meant is the app will record data till the time you pull out your battery.

Yep. Best way to get good stats is to charge the phone full, unplug it and go about your business. Try not to reboot. At the end of the day lets see those stats and what we can find out.
Here is the list of apps on my Phone...
I don't have many apps...:angel:
I have Flashed my phone just a week ago..
And I haven't got time to restore all my apps again..
So, this is all the apps that i pretty much use now...

I am facing 1st issue as your post what can i do
Hi everyone,
I am really helpless and do not know what to do anymore. My S9+ (EXYNOS) is draining battery overnight, in 6 and a half hours it drains 10%, even if always on displey is set to be turned of between 23h - 06h.
I am on the latest BTU firmware, I have tryied every tip and solution which I found on xda in order to get it better but it is still the same. I turned of almost all features like sync, location and also set all apps to be power saving.
If I use the phone a lot, I will get 4-5 maybe even 6 hours of SOT, but if I do not use it a lot, I will have 2-3 hours of SOT in total of 16 hours usage.
Any help or tips? I do not have any battery draining apps installed.
When I go to check in the battery stats I do not see anything suspicius, it says AOD 2 %, Device Idle 2%, Android OS 1%, Android System 1%, Screen 1%, Device is passive 1%.
Now I am trying it with a all black theme but still no improvement
Now I am thinking on going back to factory settings, because it seems that my battery was better (at last a little) before I tweaked and turned of many of the features.
Should I try factory reset, and if it does not help what is your proposal?
Another thing is that somethimes my phone gets hot without any reason, idle-ing or normal usage, that drains then the battery a lot. In situations like gaming etc it does not heat.
Did you try the app BetterBatteryStats? It works also with unrooted phones, if you can apply some adb commands with your PC. This app will give much more details about your battery consumption, including wakelocks.
Alternative would be GSAM Battery Monitor...its free, but not as detailed regarding wakelocks as far as i know.

No I did not try it, because on earlier phones I used it but did not know how to read it properly. I will install it now and post tomorrow the results so you can help me know what is going on.
Now I installed it but never used ABD and do not know hot to give the permission with it. In facts I used it maybe 5 years ago, now I will install it and try again, it is not that hard.

I think you should factory reset it. I had the same issue and now that I factory reset it and left most of the features as is (but I disabled bixby) it's been pretty good. Losing around 1-3% at night and at least 5 hours of SOT when I use it sparingly with around 24 hours off the charger. If I use it heavily I get around 8-almost 9 hours SOT for around 12 hours off the charger with around 15% consistently.

Thanks for the feedback. You gave me hope!
First of all I will try to discharge it once to 0% and take all juice out of the battery, maybe the system bugged because I always charge it as soon as I get as low as 40%.
If that does not help, then I will factory reset for sure. If it helped you I have hope that it will help me also.
I factory resetted few times. It seemed like it helped initially. But it actually did not.

I have factory reseted yesterday, and my batter life now is much better. Got 6 Hours SOT with 24 hours of total battery usage. In betterbatterystats I do not see anything anymore that drains it.
I need to mention that I have reinstalled everything manually, I did not wanted to import any backups just to be sure.

Actually I got better battery life after factory resetting but after few days it again became like before.Repeated it ,same outcome. so said it didn't help . Manual apps installations, not taking help from Samsung swtich did nothing.

Then I think that some of the apps you are installing is draining the battery. I am just very careful at what I install, and I monitor the battery behavior after every new app.

Do not have such app installed.
All of you uninstall Facebook and get a descent battery life.... Stop blaming Samsung... Most of the drain is due to the apps you use and the permissions you've granted to them....
Facebook only through Samsug browser. Facebook and messenger is a badly crafted app. The author should be humbly. Disable his activity and close him in jail. Do not deserve anything else. It will never be better
