I've been having ongoing issues with my battery reporting very odd and dynamic % that change constantly. I've gone from UnNamed 1.3.1 back to stock and back now to UnNamed again. I've tried a couple different kernels but I'm back to Entropy's latest DD. Not sure what's up but according to the screenshots below, I haven' used a single percentage of battery over the past 2+hrs and while I'm glad to see it, I don't think it's accurate.
How can I get back to having a reliable battery readout? Every time I reboots, it changes. Every time. Sometimes it's a small change (<10%) other times it's >25% or more...
I can't speak for the reboot battery changes, but running Entropy's DD 11/23 I can usually go around 3 hours of little use (similar to yours) and remain at 100% So I would say it is normal to remain at 100% for that long...
Try Refreshing...
I know that I have found that the graph does not always refresh. So you might want to try going back one page from the graph (the page with the list of processes and small graph at the top), hit the menu key, and select refresh.
Else, great battery life for you
I'm on MIUI and I see the same thing. It can take a couple of hours before it drops below 100%. It seems to drop faster at lower battery percentages.
Sometimes after I take the phone off the charger the percentage actually goes up.
what version of MIUI are you on? Also what kernal?
You guys are lucky. my battery doesn't do that at all. XD
I had the exact same issue with my battery. It would stay 100% for a long time then begins to drop. It would never go below 50 to 60% before I plugged it in at night . I thought it was awesome battery life since my former captivate would be at 20% at the end of the day . But I realized that battery meter was never accurate. it did not matter what kernel or rom i tried. I ended up exchanging the phone and i now have accurate battery meter.
GalnetMIUI 2.11.26. Same thing with the CM7 kernel and the Siyah kernel.
I know this question has been asked really lots of times, but I didn't seem to find cases similar to mine.
there doesn't seem to be any wakelock (except 2 which is incredibly short) and it was in deep sleep mode all the time. but yet, it drains almost 5% per hour which i find is really too much...
I've tried lots of firmware (litening, wamanlite, turkbey, stock, ICS) and removed all the unnecessary bloatware to reduce wakelocks to a state as shown in attachment. but still, they do not have any results, still get less than 1 day life without any usage at all...
Could this be hardware problem? I find it gets hot really fast even when i'm just facebooking.
Or is there anything else can i try to do? this device really started to disappoint me ever since the battery life looks like this.
any help will be greatly appreciated.

maybe try out BetterBatteryStats, duuno but maybe this could help?!
cheers and good luck!
Try Hydrogen-ICS latest version, it seems to be "the rom" today
Battery life is very good and its overall a stable system.
Make sure to "Fix Permission" after first start, reboot recovery and do it.
Also sometimes "to much junk" in your SD card can cause battery drain, copy your files and format the SD card, you might see some diffrence. (i did)

you got 20Hrs out of your phone? grats! as of lately i've been trying alot of different roms and different customization settings from kernel tweeks to CPU tweeks (undervolting/underclocking) and im even turning off every extra setting that consumes battery power apart from wifi
on best with a 2000Mah battery i get 13 hrs on standby and 4 hrs if im playing a game - these days my phone doesnt charge anymore - it discharges even when plugged in
I recommend downloading HydrogenICS, it's good! Download Battery drain, so you can see how fast your battery is being drained.. Also, let your battery go down to 5% then charge your phone
Something is seriously wrong - you've hardly used it, looking at those graphs.
I'd try a stock anything, and if you get similar drainage send it in for repair/buy a new battery.
this is'nt normal , in sleep mode i can get 20 hours and only lose 9%
use hydrogen and neak , and try , if you get the same result so it will be hardware fault
the 3g data it kills the batt very fast,i don think u got a hardware prblm,cause 20hrs an still to go is good ive seen ppl reporting worse...dude instal better batt stat,3g watch dog but remember batt saver apps too run in bckgrnd so i suggest u stay on a stable rom wiv a custum kernel like siyah or neak an watch the batt in better batt stat.....wen i need more juice i switch to airplane mode in nite then rebot in the morning....i don hav any tweaks or uv,oc but ive seen the batt is very good wen i don use the data or wifi or download or update,pm me if any doubt......cheeeerz
You flashed different ROMs the last days? First thing is you should only flash with full battery and after flashing it needs some time (three full battery cycles e.g.) untill the battery works fine for the ROM.
And you may recallibrate your battery. Turn the mobile off and load the battery to full. Then go to CWM and reset your batterystats. Now unload till the mobile goes of and reload to full with mobile off. If you doe this for e.g. 3 times the battery should be recalibrated.
I must say Omegas ICS + Speedmod or Siyahs Kernel. Best ever. Or checkout Paradoxxxs rom very stable but for me not so good xD

bro, 20 hours is with 99% deep sleep is seriously wrong. better battery stats cant tell me nothing, since i have no wakelocks or whatever, and all those battery savers apps, they spent more battery than they can save. when those screenshot is taken, i can tell you for sure, bluetooth, gps, 3g, wifi, auto sync etc everything was turned off. even brightness is 10% (which is even lower than auto brightness settings). anyway thanks for the reply

nope, i always try at least 5-6 battery cycles after flashing to see the real graph. and i've read in this forum somewhere, calibrating battery by deleting batterystats is useless for this phone.

speedmod is a kernel like siyah rite? i've use siyah before, but it doesn't seem like much help. nonetheless, will try them ^^
thanks for all the replies and recommendation, will try different rom & update again (probably in 4-5 days for trying 2 roms
I have exactly same problem. On GB over night(7 hours), battery consumption was around 9%. On ICS more than 20%, but nobody touch phone. I try few roms: wanamlite, omega, bezke, pure. Now i have hydrogen. Better battery stats shows nothing special. Only thing what i can think is wi-fi. if i turn off seams to be better, not that dramatic, but anyway not that good like on GB.
strange...
let me ask this... what does the yellow color in the phone signal mean? anybody got any clue?
shouldn't it be green/gray ?
in my phone whenever i have green/gray in the battery view the bar hardly goes down on idle but i see a big drain compared to green/gray when it becomes yellow even in idle
let me post a pic to clarify...
i was complaining about sudden batt drop on cm9 ics, i know its 2 diff roms but still the yellow bar got my attention in both pics...
just searched google and came up with red= no signal, yellow=very bad signal to no signal, green = good signal/full
bad signal makes the phone look for the signal in a bad way using a lot of the battery...
guess i found out why my batt suddenly dropped so bad compared to the rest of the bar...
id suggest flashing a couple of modems and testing how good of a signal u get with each and sticking with the one that works for u, if its a weak signal from the provider then find a better provider that covers ur place with better reception...
start from there and then if batt life is still bad search search and search... best of luck with ur phone...
@mazroui
in those 7 hours your phone should lost 9 - 10% of battery, but not more than 20 unused, what is process causing that usage?
for me: i charged phone before sleep, when wake up after 7h i had 20% left.
Android OS - 92% , rest for cell standby, phone idle and screen. Wi-fi was setup to sleep when screen is off. Better batery stats show that wi-fi was on for almost whole time
Cell Standby and Phone Idle using that much of your power means that the signal in your area is horrible and the phone is struggling to maintain a decent connection with the towers, this can drain a tremendous amount of battery depending on how bad the signal really is, the yellow bar means it's not optimal but there is a large degree of variation between the top end and bottom end of the yellow bar spectrum. Try a different modem or move your phone to an area with better reception and see if you still get this sort of drain.
Android OS is misreported by practically every Kernel because for some reason Samsung accidentally made Screen On add to the Android OS bar, so your Android OS usage is actually AOS + Screen On, for the most part high AOS usage can be ignored as a source of drain using the phone info battery screen, I would look elsewhere for the problem. Sometimes rogue apps hide their wake locks in another wake lock, for instance if you have facebook or many of the IM programs on your system, they poll their servers a lot causing a kernel wake lock called 'svnet dormancy' (in gb) or 'multipdp' (in ics) this causes a lock of 5s to ensure proper packet transfer, if your app is requesting packets every 4 seconds, then its essentially a permanent wake lock but may not be reported as the app being the source.

IF yellow means poor signals then strangely iam getting yellow line but the signal bar shows full signals on home screen.
Any comments

There is a defect with Android where good signal strength is mis-reported on this screen as yellow, even if you have 100% signal.
Until you go to About Phone > Status, just once. Then when you go back to this screen, it will start reporting as green if you have good signal.
I've tested this out on my phone, and confirmed it... try it out yourself.
I stopped caring about it, so I just ignore it unless it gets reported as red.

Signal in my area is far from perfection, but in same location, on GB i had 9% consumed over night, but not 70 %. I turn off GPS, BT, leave only wi-fi and data. And over night when nobody touch phone, screen is off.

If you look at the graph in the right pic you can see that the curve is less severe when WiFi is active, while this doesn't prove my point that its a network issue it does increase my suspicion that the issue is mobile data related.

Something is horribly wrong with that. Do a full wipe. If it still does that, reflash your firmware. If it STILL does that, maybe flash to a newer stock ICS firmware? Then as a last resort, you may want to go back to GB.

This guy may be onto something, actually. First thing you should try is flashing a different modem. THEN do all the stuff I said above.
EDIT: just noticed you're in Oz. Try flashing a T modem. Most Australian users report much better results with both battery and signal after doing this.
So I have searched high and low looking for answers to my problem, but to no avail.
Im not sure if this is the right thread, if not please direct me to where i will be more suited.
Device: gt i9300 international
Im having terrible battery drain issues with every rom I have tried, apart from cyanogenmod 10.1 which I didn't like.
It seems as though the battery will not charge above 50 or so percent and then will completely run flat after about 5 hours, and thats on standby. I have tried liquidsmooth, cyanogenmod 10.2, AOKP and multiple others, (all jb 4.2.2 roms, apart from cyan 10.1) and they all worked perfectly apart from the terrible battery life. I was under the understanding that my current roms (liquidsmooth) battery life should be excellent but It wont get above 60 percent and runs flat within hours.
I have tested multiple chargers, charged it while on and off, always shut my apps when not in use... all of the usual battery stuff.
Im at a loss as to what to do.. How do I fix it?
Please help me xda you're my only hope.

Hi there.
Download megawipe
Download temasek ROM with latest kernel
Flash megawipe in recovery, this will delete everything on internal SD
Flash ROM gapps and kernel
Download / install stweaks
Choose zzmoves
In zzmoves lab choose yanks battery profile
In power tab set charge hard voltage to default
See how that goes mate.
Please use the report button this is not Q&A

Charge the phone
Install BBS (you can find it here on XDA for free)
Let the phone rest 1 or 2 hours
Show us what BBS have under "Kernel Wakelock"

Hello all, I hope I'm posting in the right section.
I've been searching for info on the battery drain problem for some time now. I have used GSam and System Panel to find the culprit and observe it for a while and I think I see what is happening. Don't know if there is anything to be done but I'm hoping there is a fix out there.
Background:
Stock Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, stock Rom on latest OTA update (screen shot attached)
One morning around Christmas time my phone drained the battery from full to 10% in about 5 hours. I had my phone in my pocket like every other day at work, I had noticed it was heating up as well. I got an error message at some point that morning about some kind of "Samsung Power Share" I had never heard of. Then I could not get the phone to charge unless powered off, and that very slowly; it was the "grey battery" problem. This problem persisted for several days and then turned intermittent then nearly back to normal, though never quite right.
What I've done:
Wipe cache, FDR, replaced USB charge port, replaced stock battery with Anker battery.
The new charge port dramatically improved recharge time and eliminated the grey battery error but I still have terrible battery life compared to earlier in this phone's life, in other words, compared to before the latest OTA which appears to be a disaster. Didn't notice any significant improvement with the new battery.
Here's what I've seen:
As soon as the battery drops below 50% the rate of discharge maxes out and this matches up almost exactly with the activity or CPU usage of the system process "krtccd." (See attached pics showing krtccd activity corresponding with increased battery drain below 50%). GSam shows the "Kernel Android OS" (in which is krtccd) using 50% of the battery where it used to be that the screen was the biggest drain, pic attached.
Is there any way to control "krtccd" as it seems to go rogue? Why does it only seem to go rogue when the battery gets below 50%?
This is a company owned phone so rooting is not an option unfortunately.
Thank you so much for any input you may have!
I apologize if this posted in the wrong part of the forum. I did do a lot of attaching for info on what the krtccd process does and why it changed so drastically with the last OTA update but I can't find much out there or in here. I don't have the option to root phone so am I such with this weird poor performance whenever the battery drops below 50%?
Thanks again, I appreciate any input you guys have.
As a follow-up, here is a screen shot from System Panel this morning showing that "krtccd" stopped activity as soon as the battery began to charge. I don't get it, it's like it spins full bore in the background sabotaging the battery for the last 50%.
BTW, the discharge last night (in my first set of screen shots) happened while the phone dat idle on my windowsill, don't think I even turned the screen on during that whole time as I was in discussion with a friend. It's weird...
Rooted Galaxy S4 (Sprint)
Same issue. Can anyone provide any information on what this process does?
Someone opened an issue report with android open source.
Issue 160689: KRTCCD Bug?
Device: Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) T-mobile carrier- unlocked, Rooted ,Running stock rom with a Philz touch recovery
Problem occurred after about a week of purchasing a new battery since the old one got swelled... but i have two brand new batteries now both are not original but good quality (1 Year Warranty) With both batteries I had the Problem
Let me explain the problem :
______________________
Device would go off in at a certain battery level from 30%-50% (as for my experience):fingers-crossed:
To turn the device ON plugging in is compulsory... but then the battery would be Completely drained..
Also if you try to do a restart at a battery level which is closer to the sudden death the after re boot the battery will be at a extremely low level and wont rise...
I searched all of i can to find a cure to this because the last thing u expect in a situation is your phone dying?
Apparently the problem seems to be that the phone is reading the battery wrong? about a 40% so simple do a calibration Nope Nothing not even a change...
Here is what I tried
_________________
Calibration Methods - Apps and manualy
Reset the device
Let the battery chip reset
and all other methods
but finally i decided to reflash another stock rom :silly:
and I Downloaded This file I9100XWLSD_I9100XENLS1_XEN Since it was a Genuine Netherlands version but i decided not to go with T mobile this time:fingers-crossed:
I Wiped all the phone in Recovery then went to download mode and using Odin V1.85 I flashed the stock rom:fingers-crossed:
Turned it on using a Fully charged battery that i charged separately and i used it for some time max brightness max vol radio and gps wifi bluetooth etc. to drain the battery and at 38% phone started to flicker and turned off again:crying: (no Sim or Memory inserted no apps downloaded)
But i decided to go again i plugged it in ( never changed the batt) and let it charge for about 95% and turned all on again and this time i put on my simcard and memory and did all what i did except that i downloaded whats app and instagram. and also when it reached below 55% i Played some music and locked the phone (NO SCREEN LOCK USED) and after some time i checked batt was at 38% :fingers-crossed: immediately i locked it back and left it again....
Viola !!!!!!!:laugh: last time i checked it was 15% low batt warning came ( haven't seen it in weeks) and then the battery drop was a bit fast and at 12% the screen got a little flicker so i plugged it in.. I think the problem is halfway solved, ill let the battery go some cycles and update soon.. also i will attach some screen shots off the battery level too and take a close look at the time and battery level after 15% on the pics
:victory:
Here is the original thread i created

So yesterday I plugged the device until it reached about 85% and unplugged it when I was going to sleep, and at about 8 o'clock this morning i noticed that the battery level has risen to 96% , I think that is because the phone slowly gets to know the battery level correctly.. and right now it 11.08 am and I had turned on Mobile Hotspot and Data from 8 am , battery level is 82%.
I'll update again tonight when the battery drains completely

Can you also share the SoT ? I know it depends on how a person uses the phone but still I want to have an idea. I might also try this to have a better battery life. I also once tried that exact stock rom but without even charging completely, I went on to another ROM. So I am gonna give it another try today . :good:

Hello Eren ! Whats SoT? and you also have the same problem?
So... Now the problem is still there.....
Phone went off at 43% and also figured that there has been a near vertical drop of battery from 40 % to 12% and thats when the device was standby,
phone goes off only when im using it?
Can a Expert please look into this matter and help me please. looks like all what I did has been useless

I have the same problem. when I reboot my device in most of cases the battry level showed is a 10/30% lower than before and also my phone shuts off showing 10% percent or less and the sreen brightness goes a bit crazy for 2 secs before it shuts off. I have the original Samsung battery but I also bought the 2000mAh extended kit but now this issue happens in both of them I've read that I have to callibrate battery so I will try this and post results
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Fully Charge.
3. When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4. Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5. Wait for 180 seconds exactly (be careful )
6. Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
7. Put back the battery on the right side.
8. Turn on the phone.
9. Pray the Battery god
10. ... and voilà !

I did it and my results were this. My phone shuts off at 5%, slightly less than other times. I rebooted it once while 80% percent and remained the same. Battery lasted 2h and 40 mins with medium/high usage
I would say it fixed something for me but not a lot. Now im going to try it with the 2000mAh samsung battery
Edit1: now after another full cycle the battery lasted for more or less 3 hours with medium usage and shutted off at 8% now im going to try on my 2000mAh battery that had an 8% and it shutted of normally with the shutting off screen and without weird screen brightness tweaks

Well I think it worked for you because you had a Original Samsung Battery Right?
In SL a Original batt would only come with the phone :crying: Fakes have invaded,,
So i read some where that fakes dont have the original capacity? so if it is then it would match perfectly !
so now im in hunt of a original hopefully this is not a phone problem
No its not definetly a phone problem and it isn't a big deal to find an original samsung battery for sgs2 however the Samsung 2000 mAh battery kit its waay harder to find and the ones that I found are more expensive than when it came out
Yeah, I definitely think the problem is with your battery, so you just need to replace it.
Btw guys, what is your general Screen on Time with your standard 1650mah battery (not extended)? I'm running CM13 and I barely get 2h on a single charge, but then I read reviews from the early days of S2 and for instance here they have 4h24 browsing time (with screen at 50% brightness) or 8h video playback.
Is it all related to being a different ROM, or my battery just needs a retirement? Being a different ROM would impact so much on the Screen on Time? Also, I have auto-brightness always enabled, would that have such a significant impact?
Greetings
EDIT: Since I generally use the phone indoors I don't think that would be the difference in such a different Screen on Time

With 1650 mAh and on CM13 nightlies, my best so far is 2h and 28 mins with brightness at between %0 and %25 and only wifi is on.
That 4 hour SoT is probably on gingerbread though.

Being gingerbread would make so much of a difference? It's like twice as much SoT...
Thanks anyways

Never used SGS2 on gingerbread but it is possible I think. I remember reading on forums that people started to get worse battery life with ICS and with JB it got even worse. So yeah probably possible.

Hi Bolshoi! I will definetly update the SOT on the stock rom after the new battery arrives! I asked one of my friends who is in Netherlands to buy and send me a batt. Regards!

Im From Sri Lanka Achimakulo its so rare to find a Genuine Samsung battery for a older device like mine and even if i found one its either old or way too much priced
I think its because my device is so rare in this country
Is it fixed now??
See attachment
battery level drop is natural? ?
