Battery Problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm facing a battery problem sometimes my phone while charging it goes up from 43% to 100%
and when it becomes 32% it drops to 2% and after so many restarts I get 12%
I did a battery calibration but no use
I even installed a recovery to wipe battery status but again no use
and in HTC secret menu *#*#4636#*#* it says the battery health is good !?
Is there anything I can do instead of changing the battery Please !?

I was on Viper 2 and I used other Roms but the same problem, I even went back to stock rom also no use
Should I change the battery !?

Yes. Battery first, and if the issue persists, replace USB board/port.

[Q] Battery problems with Safestrap in safe side

Recently installed Safestrap 3.05 in motorola droid RAZR having stock 4.0.4. Everything else works great but as soon as i create a ROM slot the battery falls to 95% and when i install a new ROM the battery meter meters shows fully charged at 95%. The battery then starts discharging way faster and the back cover also gets heated up
But when i go back to the stock ROM the battery is on 100% even though it shows drained to 85% in the custom ROM. And the coustom ROM battery monitor shows the android OS to be using around 50 to 60% of the battery.
I tried syncing up the battery levels by uninstalling safestrap then charging the battery to full and then install back safestrap. I tried installing different ROMs but experienced the same battery draining problems. I also tried resetting battery stats but without use
Normally battery life is up to one and half days with normal usage. But in the custom ROM its barely 6 to 7 hours.
Has anyone faced this problem ? Is there any method by which it can be rectified ?

Had tried it. Tried draining it to to around 5% and then recharging it to 100%. And the thing is it doesnt show 100% in the custom ROM. As soon as i reach 95 it says battery full. In the stock ROM it works perfectly fine. Presently i have the custom ROM installed. In it the battery is 86% and when i reboot and go into stock it shows that my battery is fully charged. I initially thought that if this is just a stat error it wont be a big problem as my battery still will have the juice to run the phone. But later on the back cover seems to get hotter. Its as if the ROM is trying to discharge the battery even though not needed. I dont know if that is possible but thats the thing confusing me. And it doesnt seem as if other people are having this problem. Dont know why.

Then why do we have apps for calibrating battery such as:

I think those calibrate apps only reset the battery stat.

In case of a sudden drop in battery level to 0%, Sony tech service recommends that you fully charge the battery with the wall charger and then remove all power sources to the phone (no battery, no USB cable) for 5 to 10 minutes, return the battery and power up the phone and then recharge back to 100%. If the sudden drop was due to a problem with the power meter, then you should see a drop in battery % when you turn your phone back on.
Google says reseting the battery stats is useless: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
hi thanks for suggestions but there is no sudden drop in battery instead it only restarts and the battery level remains same after restart..
also I've tried wiping battery stats and process as said by justmpm it didn't work out...is it an h/w problem or battery issue ?

Are you undervolting? Because a stable setting at full power may not be stable when the battery is depleted.....
I flashed stock ftf file of .587 to confirm that kernal isn't undervolting and still problem exists,

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:

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.

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 measurement issue between CM & stock ROM

I charged my phone while stock JB ROM was activated, it charged to 50%, then switched to CM10.1 and the battery it showed was 6%! Most likely battery status was at that level when I last booted in CM. Today I observed the opposite scenario, charged the to 30% in CM and booted into stock ROM which showed 10% battery - this was the last battery status while I was in stock ROM. Anyone observed this type of issue? If yes, any solution? I am planning to charge it full in both ROM s and then lets see what happens

No its not normal. Its a common bug in cm 10.1. Avoid if possible to reboot the phone while using cm 10.1

[Q] Battery Issue on Lollipop Roms

Hii everyone
I've got some really weird Battery Issues on different Lollipop Roms (CM12, ResurrectionRemix 5.3.5-5.3.7, Beanstalk and SlimLP).
The problem is, as soon as i restart the phone the battery percentage drops from 50% to 13% for no reason.
If i charge the phone later suddendly the loose percentage are back, but the phone consumption more "battery" so it's sooner at 0% as normal.
Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)
Regards Kun1

I've had these problems when I first bought my phone used off eBay. Phone battery was very erratic. After a reboot battery would be less than half or nearly 0 even with 80%+ battery. Or would shut down with 5% left. Or drain battery a lot quicker than normal.
Soon as I bought a new battery my problems vanished. My battery would stay solid no matter how many times I flashed a new ROM or rebooted. BUT after 3 months these drops have started to happen again with reboots. Not always like before, but they're happening.
I think it's down to battery conditioning. The way you charge and discharge your battery. There are set ways to charge a phone to maintain battery health.
How does your battery react without rebooting from a full change to shut down? You shouldn't need to reboot a phone with a good stable ROM once you've set it up the way you like it. Also calibrating you battery or wiping your fuel gauge meter to often isn't good practice as android and your phone will do calibrating itself after some time and needs the information that these starts provide.
Battery jumps seem to happen with a lot of S2 users. Maybe a flaw in the design of phone. But good battery practices are important, things like not leaving your phone charging overnight. Batteries don't like being left on charge when they are full. There's more info out there on XDA that I can't remember myself as I am guilty of bad battery practices as I use my phone all the time and don't have time to full charge cycle.
Yes same problem
Battery drains really fast when restarting
Any fix for this?
I am hiving battery problems too. Battery is dropping % like it leaking or sth. Last time my phone rebooted due to full ram and it dropped from 50% to 12%. I left it like that. After some time battery re-charged itself from 12 to 23 % ! Phone was lying on the sofa without connected charger ! Should i clen fuel guage chip or my battery is EOL ?

you have to reboot for example if you install xposed and new modules i've calibrated the battery just 3 times i think this isnt too much?
and i understand the problem with charging overnight but there's no other solution for me :/

ps: I may have missed something
Forgot to say, if you want to avoid battery drops when rebooting make sure you plug your phone into charge before rebooting. Thus should stop battery dropping afterwards.

The battery often drops when the phone hangs at work and reboot from itself so i have no chance to plug it in.
I have same problem, battery drain too fast & after reboot same time battery level is "falling" at one moment twice. At first, I think it's a battery problem, but battery work fine at CM12 mod, and have problem at SLIMLP 5.1.1 mod. When battery "falling" it's not heating, which means no real discharge.
