hey,
I bought a month ago a new vibrant from the states and I installed Bionix rom and then Honeybee.
I have 2 problems with the battery:
the first one is when I'm rebooting the cellphone the percents of the battery status get down by 10-30%, for example: I had 45% and then after the reboot I got 22%, sometimes it's even fell to 0%.
the second one is that the battery is working only within 5-5 and half hours max with no Wi-Fi and normal-less usage, the display is taking at least 80% of my battery (as it write on the setting option), I do have juice defender and I tried to find out what application taking so much battery but no success (I used some programs like watchdog lite and etc.).
I tried to change the battery the other ones (even battery that works great on the I-9000).
**I've tried to calibrate the battery more than once.
anybody has some suggestions?
have you done a battery calibration
?
try a different kernel

the next comment - I'm using Tigerbloodv3.22
I heard it's pretty good kernel.
Is it possible it's an hardware problem?
try bali 1.8 uv kernel
why dont you try going back to stock and see if the problem is is still there if it isnt try a differnt rom

I second this.
stock means to the original version?
if I want to do it, how can I save all of my contacts?

if you save them to the sim it wont matter
or back up contacts/calls with titanium backup, cant restore it on any other version though, just 2.2.1 if thats what honeybee is
back up anything else you want with titanium, preferable not system data unless you're just going to restore it to that version

Best way in my opinion is just to make sure you save everyone as a Google contact. That way they are backed up and restored automatically.

Go to that instead and learn how to use Odin.

alright, I've done it, I got back to the stock but I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM
when I'm rebooting the cellphone the battery status is changing by 20-30% less

try calibrating again, charge full, unplug, if it drops, plugin again, keeps repeating this till it stays at 100
then use a calibration app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
or boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
or do it through root explorer and reboot
it'll take a few charge cycles to settle in, charge full, run all the way down till its completely dead, charge full, run all way down again
alright, so I calibrated my cellphone and it is still with the battery problem... is it possible that there is an hardware problem?

dont know, my phone's done it a few times and i've had it jump up 30 or 40% aswell after a reboot so just leave it a few days, let it settle
or try a different battery
I flashed the Bali 1.2ghz kernel last night and my battery is now amazing! Unplugged my phone at 6:30am, its now 10:40pm and with heavy use I still have 22% left.

Guys! This is SERIOUS! EVEN AFTER UNINSTALLING the Samsung Push Service and the other Samsung Utility and also freezing the Samsung Apps using Titanium, the battery drain continues! Nothing has worked. Battery going from 100% to ZERO in less than 3 Hours! Does anyone know what is happening and how to stop this???
I think the only option left now is to reflash the ROM. I was on XWKK2 CF-Rooted which was working great till this damned Samsung Update! The battery is LOSING CHARGE even when plugged into my laptop! I don't know how I'll be able to get my battery back to 100% to reflash the Rom.

I wrongly pressed the thanks button..
Anyway, charge the phone while off for a couple of hours and try reflashing a fresh firmware.. Maybe that should do the trick..

Also... install BETTERBATTERYSTATS and see what is waking your phone up. Seems to me like it's never sleeping.

Now all new apps can be installed only AFTER I flash the ROM again. Waiting for the battery charge to go over 50% level so that I can flash the ROM.
Have reflashed and re-rooted the ROM. Looks like it has solved the battery drain problem, will know for sure by later tonight. The overheating of the phone is gone and it's back to normal. Don't know what the problem was yet, but started after updating Samsung Apps. Have frozen both Samsung Apps and SamsungAppsUNA now.
some more users reported that they had battery drain after installing that, i hva no problems however

I have followed your advice of freezing samsung apps and samsungappsUNA via autorun manager.
Prior to that been using Rarity rom for weeks, great battery life, well over 24hrs with heavy use and then all of a sudden after updating some apps (the 2 above mentioneded werent part of that), my phone has started to heat up and the battery drain is very fast (5% in 30mins), before it would go few hours without 1% loss.
Trieed looking at the updated apps but no luck so have tried your advice before i reflash wipe which i dont want to so praying this works.
Even tried flashing different kernels but no luck.
*cheers for the advice, battery life seems to have gone back to normal
So I know this is a problem a lot of poeple are having on the latest CM10 before they flash the bluesleepfix, but I flashed it and nothing changed. In six hours with the wifi and data turned off on my phone I'm at 20% or less. This is both with and without the bluesleepfix being flashed. When I have wifi connected though the battery is almost 100% better, I don't get it... Any ideas?

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

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.

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.

hi,
my phone is Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i), recently i've unlocked the BL and begin installing some custom roms. my first custom rom is Super JB v6 with nAa kernel, it worked flawlessly, but strange, if the battery still has 15% or bit lower, it suddenly down to 1%! and my phone goes off less than 1 minutes later.
i think it has rom/kernel problem, so i changed to some roms & kernels, from flawless ICS, xNXT until now im using MIUI Life. bad luck, it GETTING WORSE! now if my phone still has 80% battery life, it goes 1%!. i think its battery problem, but after 80% to 1% shutted down, i turned on again, and going to CWM recovery. i'm doing nothing here unless to keep my screen on for checking if it actually battery problem, it should shut down for a seconds. but i've waiting until about an half hour, my phone still ON.
WTF is the problem? is my phone really bricked?
P.S. clearing battery stats don't works, and i believe that was just myth.
any answer will be appreciated. thanks
Reflash to Stock FTF and then flash a ROM ...Try being on Stock ROM for a few days IMO and check if it persists ...Get a new battery and check it ...It more looks like a faulty sensor imo ...
Am I right?
Is it possible (if unlocked propertly) to brick phone? I had never briked... But had mano bootloops and etc... But after flashing everything right all problems are solved. Am I missing something?

Battery broken
its likely my battery has been broken, flashing stock ROM doesn't help, it even worst. charging phone for 2 hours, can be used for 5 (possible less) minutes only. so i bought new battery and wait till arrived.
Don't be sad just is a lesson
This is chance for you buy new phone
confirmed, its Battery problem. i bought new one, and now works like charm. Thanks all for trying to help me
