It depends on what you have been doing and what's your screen on time... If you have been gaming... Then it's OK..
Plus install better battery stats and let it run for 4 5 hours on standby and see and see what is draining your battery...

Your battery stats looks oke since you have used 30% percent in 6 hours.
Android OS + Android system usually use 20% together, which is now 10%. However, your screen usage is high, related to reading articles or watching videos.
Just reset your battery stats via recovery and your problem will be solved.

False information as resetting battery stats will not recalibrate your battery nor make battery last longer . Please read the stickied faqs and guides .
Plus most recovery s have no method of wiping battery stats as its a pointless exercise .
Thanks to all but. Will follow all what have said thanks!!

It depends on the kernel and it's profiles/governors too. After installing Boeffla I got much more from my battery.You can choose if you want better performance but much more battery drain, normal or less performance and less battery drain. After looking at your screenshot, I'd say it's ok.

Hey guys,
I have been running unnamed rom lately, but on any other rom including stock. My battery lasts for like 8 hours with little use and 4 hours with moderate use. When I see what is draining my battery it looks normal as the display uses the most, but I only have it at 30% brightness most of the time I have insurance should I see if I can get a new battery? Or any other tips?
Can you post a pic of your battery usage?
Have you tried to calibrate the battery yet?

Many things could cause battery drainage, such as oc-ing. You could find the original Samsung battery on eBay for a cheap price. Before buying one, try doing the following:
Clear OC/UV settings (i.e. put to defaults)
Download Battery Calibration by NeMa (on the Play Market)
Charge your phone and wait until it reaches 100%*
Tap on "Battery Calibration" and done
Once calibrated, use your phone as you normally would until the battery dies. Only when it dies you can charge it. You can charge as you please from then on.
Note: If it does not reach up to 100%, go to CWM and clear battery stats.

Which other firmwares? Anything UCKK6-based has known documented wifi drain issues.
The usual applies - look in battery statistics, use BetterBatteryStats to hunt wakelocks.

THIS DOES NOTHING ON ANY SAMSUNG GALAXY S DEVICE!
never tried the battery calibration?... does it actually work or no?
have you installed any new apps recently? those apps that use a lot of apps in the background are a pest to your battery life as they usually won't show up in the battery monitor. try disabling your data when not in use and see if that helps. if the current rom you are on does not have a toggle bar with data use the "data enabler widget" by Farproc.
Hi there,
just in advance: Yes, I have read quite a bunch of battery drain threads, but non of them seemed to help me.
Compared to GB, my SGS2 doesn't even seem to last more than a day in terms of battery life.
Now I wonder - is it just me playing around with (otherwise awesome) CM9 and battery life is actually normal or is there some kind of battery drain going on?
Running CM9 14-04, stock kernel, LPS baseband.
Attached please find BBS stats and other battery stats screenshots.
Help very much appreciated

Awake over 2 hours, 1 hr 43 min screen on, down to 62%. That's on track for 5.5 hours awake time, and about 4.5 hours screen on time. Looks pretty normal.
You MIGHT be able to squeeze a bit more juice out by playing with your sync and display settings, but that otherwise doesn't look that bad.

Sync is pretty much off completely and display brightness was on 'auto'...
the graph looks pretty good without gsf and alarm manager wakelocks
Have you tried to re-calibrate your phone? I once messed around with my battery and i lost 70% battery overnight when it was on 100% because i was unplpugging, plugging my phone in randomly.
How do I do that?
Just bought a 2000mA battery and it seems I still got the same 'issue'...

Did you try to wipe your battery stats? Also, I noticed that playing around flashing the Roms, requires 2-3 full charging cycles before the battery was "stable" again
I've also read the following but didn't try it (I imagine it does the same than wiping the battery stats in the recovery, but you never know, you can try it):
Delete batterystats.bin in data/system, after full charging (with Rootexplorer or another app)
Then, use it until to 90%, and full charging.
Good luck!
When is it a good idea to wipe battery stats? When it's empty or at full charge?

The CM9 has some battery drain problems because is still developing maybe try wiyth another rom and see if the problem remains

Stats seem fine to me. Your phone shouldn't drain much when idle, but once that big screen is lit up the power drains much faster. The SGS2 stock battery is not huge to begin with either. Your 2000mah will be better though, especially after using it for a few cycles. You can also try flashing a different stock kernel or custom kernel (Siyah, etc).

Thanks guys!
So charged my 2000mA battery up to 100% now and wiped the battery stats. Hope this helps.
I really wanted to stick to CM9, because I don't wanna do a factory reset every couple of days when flashing other ROMs, because I'm tired of setting up all my stuff over and over again...
Are the other ROMs really that much better? Thought that CM9 would be best, because most popular...
Or could it be the baseband/modem too?

I have the same issue too when booting into recovery. I don't worry about it. I suggest the same as Ramjet in your other thread.

I had this issue with my old battery and old charger,
Now I dont use my phone while charging , I charge other batteries with the wall charger while using other ones and everything is fine now.... battery % seems to be same in both android and recovery.
I have that same issue too. Lol maybe the recovery can't read the battery correctly. It'll show up higher in recovery and then when I reboot, it will read the same way like in recovery. Tried numerous batteries with the same result. Although I havnt tried battery calibrating. Ill give that a shot.
Is there any solution ??
Try klect's solution and go into recovery, wipe battery stats. Then let your battery drain and die. Then charge your battery back to 100% with no interuptions like pulling your phone off the charger too soon. When you wipe your batt stats you are getting ready to recaliberate your battery. After you let it charge to 100 percent. Let it drain to 0 a couple times to recondition your battery.
You do know that the evo 3D gives around 3 hrs of screen time dont you? even on stock rom on normal usage. If you have the wifi on all the times you'll get around 2:30 maybe 3 on a full charge.
Your battery certainly is draining faster than usual but have you tried keeping it idle and seeing what kind of drain you get? From that screenshot in the other thread it seems like your phone is getting some heavy wifi browsing or something (and do check if facebook or email apps are the culprit. Having push email on drains a lot)
And the recovery/rom reading wrong stats happens all the time. just recalibrate your battery like these good folks here have already suggested
Yes i keep wifi on all the time...
But once i kept my locked for abot 3 hours after full charge...when i unlocked it showed 99%...i was happy and i didn't do anything just surfing my screens it dropped very very fast to some 70 % !!!!
Also please hit our thank you buttons please. Even if you didn't get the exact answers you wanted. It's appreciated for helping one another.
you really should check your apps battery usage using one of the apps ramjet73 told you about
ramjet73 said:
There are a bunch of tips here.
Usually that kind of drain is caused by an app. Try running a stock ROM for a day or two and see if the issues go away. Or use one of the battery monitoring apps (BetterBatteryStats, SystemPanel Standard, Battery Monitor Widget) to determine which app is causing your drain.
It may take some work on your part to isolate the problem since there is no global solution to battery problems.

top culprits are mostly facebook,email exchange,google maps and pretty much anything that syncs alot
Also try using you phone on min brightness auto brightness is also a battery killer
I cant beleive no one asked you this but which kernel are you using? And is it overclocked?
I am on mwakious 13.1 default...no changes to it
Hi,
I'm a new poster @ xda but have been a fan for quite a while.. not really the forum type so I haven't posted.
I have a question about replacing the battery in an i9100 (coming from the stock battery to a Replacement 3.7V 3500mAh Battery bought off of dx.com (sku: 73784).
For a while now, I have been unable to calibrate my battery correctly.. or maybe it's just my battery itself that's been giving me less than 4 hours idle.
I would like to know if there are any steps I should take before inserting the new battery... if anyone else has done this before and is reading this post I'd be very grateful for some advice.
I don't want to screw up the battery stats and the new battery itself.
Currently running:
Android version: 4.2.1

U cant calibrate the battery by just deleting the battery stats.. just leave it for a week or 2. Then it should calibrate on its own. I m using andriod phones from 2 years i never tried to calibrate the battery i just ignore that. For me sometimes the battery percentage suddenly moves up by 1 or 2% if kept idle then starts decreasing, dunno why till today damn sure its not fake charging. U can try deleting the battery stats and rebooting to make sure it s writing the new battery stats. But it never works.

So you are saying it doesn't matter what capacity battery i am switching to, it will calibrate by itself?
Yes after few charging discharging cycles... Its will calibrate automatically. :thumbup:
And ya just in case... You may try battery calibration app from play store

hey man i was also thinking of switching to similar kinda battery like yours. But i dont think it is 3500ma. So could you post how long the battery last after using it for few days??
If you're on ICS or JB, you don't have calibrate your battery because every time you charge the battery to 100% all your data and stats are deleted and the service begins to collect info again. You read all about it here and here.
Battery calibration is a myth and nothing more for ICS/JB users.

You should be getting more than 4hrs idle. Try better battery stats to check the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Sure thing. I've been running the battery for 24 hours and I'm at 80% left. Medium usage.
Well this is nice. The extended battery gives me almost three days of usage. And this is the cheap 3500mah from DX. I just hope it doesn't blow up

Hi.
I have used lots of roms to find out what the problem was but did not solved it.
My battery drains from 100 to 85 very very fast.
I mean 10 percent in 1 hour :crying:
No matter what kernel or rom i use.
Then again it wont go to 100 percent its like 96-97.
Is there a fix ?
I already bought a new battery and a new charger.
Same results with the charger of my wife s3 mini.
anyone have a suggestion before i trow it away and buy a note 2 ?

Its idle as i am on wifi and mobile date it both suck..
Nothing strange to see with better battery stats.
EDIT : i pulled the battery for 10 minutes and charged it with phone off.
It looks like its not losing percents now,
The only problem is why it not goes to 100 percent.
I installed the rom this morning.
Does it automaticly goes to 100 after a few charges?
And it started to drain again.
Anyone have a clue ?

Check Your Battery Stats. .. download a battery stats app and check which app is causing the most drainage. .. There was a media scanner bug sometime back. . Maybe It's That. . If It Is, There Are Fixes For It Here. Good luck :thumbup:

Try BetterBatteryStats or GSAM. BBS is better but not free. I use this. i have a widget on my homescreen at all times.
You may just need to go through a full charge cycle to get it to 100%. It's just that the new ROM thinks that 100% is 97%. A couple of charges / drains will sort it.
