Hi there,
I've been having a problem for some time now with stock S3 ROM (4.1.2), and now that I've rooted my phone, I noticed it consists with both CM11 and Revolutionary S5. So it's probably the hardware, but if anyone could give me any kind of assistance or direction, I would be grateful.
Here is a recent shot of my battery life: http://imagebin.org/309592
As you can see, I nearly ran out of battery in 2 intervals of charge lasting about 4-5 hours.
If I use my phone moderately, only using like a few apps for 2 hours, it wouldn't last more than 5-6 hours.
If I only use it to respond to texts and get through the day, it lasts for 8-9 hours.
I've tried disabling all of the extra components for as long as I could, use power saving mode on the stock/Revolutionary S5 ROMs, Greenify etc.
Another problem I have is that the bottom part below the battery gets freakishly hot by just using a single app for 15 minutes or so. It's getting to the point where I'm uncomfortable holding it.
Is there any solution to my problems? Should I get a new battery? Or something else?
Get a new battery.

Thanks for your answer! But here's what I'm worried about, the battery doesn't really get hot (unless I'm misunderstanding something), but rather the part below it (I assume it's the SoC). So will that really fix my problems or is it some chip at fault here rather than the battery?
Also, would you recommend going with a Samsung official battery or an alternative?
Battery is the cheapest thing to try, get an official one.

What applications are using your battery the most?
Have you tried to flash a light ROM? (Bloatware Free)
Try to UC and UV the device and see if it keeps having the overheat problems.

Hi Saad_, here's my current battery status:
http://imagebin.org/309724
http://imagebin.org/309725
In the process of taking these screenshots and uploading them, my battery widget showed that my battery's temp went up to about 95-97F. Browsing the gallery and looking at some site on Firefox brings it up to over 100-105F.

The battery use is normal. As suggested above I recommend you to try it out with another battery since you said your battery's temp is reaching high limits. Try a new battery and check if the problem still exists.

What's a normal temp range for a battery? For reference.
Surprisingly enough, it feels cold/normal, the part below it is what's getting real hot.

I don't EXACTLY know what is a normal temperature on an S3 but my phone's battery is usually at 33 C (92 F) after web browsing and using Viber / Facebook. You need to try another battery in your phone to find out if the problem is with it or not.

My galaxy s2 has had battery issues the day i got it.I was getting around 6-7 hours then, thought it was some issue with firmware checked the battery usage and everything seemed fine expect for few times the android os seemed a little high , so i installed a custom rom , tried sensation and villianrom and a few others .Villianrom seemed to help battery a little but few days in and battery is again draining like fuel in a f1.So i decided its nothing about the firmware and all , maybe i have a bad phone or battery cause its draining like 1% every 2 -3 mins while browsing or doing anything as a matter of fact i get about 4-5 or at best 6.5 hours but thqts rare.I mostly use wi-fi so it definitely uses less battery than 3g . So now my question is ... As i have rooted my phone do i get
The warranty assets as my phone is like 4 months old.I know about unrooting but will that do the trick ?
And btw apart from battery issues , which seem like i have a unique case , my experience with the phone has been amazing this is definetely the best phone on market ;-)
Please respond....and also share your experiences with battery backup of s2 .....thankyou. cheers B-)
*i forgot to add that another thing that i have been noticing is the high battery usage by the display , it sometimes is as high as 80% even on low brightness to which i have found no cure...no matter what i try it lowers sometimes to about 30% or more and is back again to higher, this has furthered my doubt that i have a faulty piece. Pls comment.

I'd say 1% every 2-3 minutes sounds about right if you have screen fairly bright.
Did you do a back up before installing custom rom?
If so install original rom back, then I think you need a usb jig, which is available from ebay. This will reset your custom binary counter so the warranty peeps won't know you've flashed a custom rom at some time.
I'm quite new to this so hopefully someone else may reply and correct me if wrong.

Display uses the largest amount its relative all the figures say is that of the battery percentage used display has used xx amount . Could be battery used 5% of that 5% display used 50% as little else was used .

on regular use, my batt wear off in a day or a day and a half, but when my kid play a HD game, the battery drained in just 3 hours.
I've only tried 2 custom roms, miui and criskelorom, and I think using criskelorom combine with neak kernel is my best so far
I used the trick of battery calibaration by ram3n and battery seems to hold up a little better. Betterbatterystats was really helpful as well as battery monitor and cpu spy . But still i guess yhe phone will suffer on heavy usage or even medim .

My Samsung Galaxy S2 Battery drains heavily all of a sudden. I noticed that suspend backoff is consuming battery. It doesnt go into deep sleep either. Using ICS 4.03.I have attached Battery Stats dump file. Please advise.
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 noticed my S3 drains about 10% battery overnight. I dont think this is normal. Wifi and 3g are off, it just lies there by my bed doing nothing. Ive restarted it and no help.
Cell standby shows 41% usage. Is that right?
The 2 red circles in the screenshot show when my phone is idle just lying there.
Any help?
We need more information. What apps run? have you remove/freeze bloatware. Are you rooted? what rom are you on?
I'm going to run this based on speculation perhaps side effects of rooting your phone? I know there is no conclusive evidence of this but a hypothesis as such. My apologies if you aren't rooted.

why would rooting your phone create battery drain?
OP the standard answer is to install better battery stats and check it again to see what those wakelocks are. Once you find out why your phone is waking up you can do something about it.

thanks for the replies everyone, Im using the latest stock firmware... no rooting here...
Installing better battery stats as we speak and see what they say...
GSam Battery Monitor and / or BetterBatteryStats would be the first place as mentioned already.
I was able to find what was causing me most issues. It was some Calender storage and Google syncs (bookmarks, contacts etc) even though I didn't have them activated.
Anyway, after freezing them I now only lose 2-3% overnight. That is with gmail push, email sync every 4 hours and about 7 or 8 other Widgets updating every few hours. Mostly noticed a massive improvement when I flashed the latest siyah kernal.

I don't know but I get the feeling that rooting various phones might have hidden side effects as such, rooting your phone is still evolving as of today. There are still alot that the general doesn't know hence there are always new things about rooting although I might not be knowledgeable in that department. However is it possible to unroot your phone? rather revert it to stock? try doing that and see if there are any differences.
I have had my Galaxy S2 for almost 2 years now and I'm still going with the stock battery and it have worked great but some time around the start of Novmber I rooted and installed CM 10.1 and since then it feels like my battery life have become worse.
I now run CM 11, but it's still the same with battery life or even worse.
My phone never last a full day with normal usage. Today it went from 100% to 9% in less than 5 hours with only ~37 minutes of screen on time.
Todays usage: http://i.imgur.com/Adl7YQv.png http://i.imgur.com/G80vf2e.png http://i.imgur.com/YtcqKh7.png
Also, when listening to music on Spotify (offiline playlists) it draws battery like hell, it lasts maybe 3-4 maximum of listening. And when playing games with the charger connected it drains battery faster than it charges the battery.
What could be the problem here? Would really like to fix this problem but I do not want to go back to the stock Samsung software. Please ask questions if you have to (if you need some more information or such) and I'll reply as fast as possible.

So I installed BetterBatteryStats but as I restarted my phone the stats were reset and I can only view the stats for the current session, I will monitor it again sooner and remember to not restart the phone. However, when I restarted my phone it went from about 50% to 15% instantly, how did that happen? It has happened once before while running CM 10.1 also. Could it be that the phone just showed 50% but it really was 15%?
Picture of the battery drop is in the first post as I can't post links in replies (new user under 10 posts).
Also, how would be the best way to share my BetterBatteyStats? The included share feature just left me with an .txt that's a bit hard to read.
From the screenshots i can see your phone is always in search of signal.
Change the modem or pit it on gsm network for the time being
Further, the battery drop of restart is due to chip not behaving. Or battery is dying.
Change the battery is what i advise

It's rather the other way around. I had these drops tens of times. Most of the times, if I leave my phone in deep sleep, it will go up again. So in fact the 15% is 50%(minus a percentage for rebooting).
Look what other people are posting in that thread and read the op before posting. But I think a txt file is good enough.
First try to find an explanation for this battery drain, before buying a new one.

I'm not really sure about how I "Change the modem or pit it on gsm network for the time being", if you could explain that it would be sweet.

I have monitored my phone with BetterBatteryStats for a few days now and I have posted in their thread and some people there helped me to reduce battery use from 6.3%/h to 2.0%/h in idle (on 3g with fast dormancy disabled). I uninstalled some apps and disabled sync on some other.
I have a question about Spotify also, when I play music from Spotify it seems like it uses to much battery. I use watchdog and I get alerts sometimes that it uses 40%+ cpu, that doesn't seem right does it? And when I open CPU-Z it shows that cpu is at least 20%+ in use all the time with no other program running, that doesn't seem right either. Anyone have any ideas about this?
After uninstalling Google now my battery lasts a bit longer...

First of all, DON'T buy stuff before you try going to stock rom, you can get back anytime from your nandroid backup. Battery problems are very hard to track, someone already suggested betterbatterystats, try finding it yourself with that, and if you fail you can;
1- Wipe everything and run the phone with only betterbattery stats installed and see the problem,
2- Go to stock rom and see if your problem persists without any apps installed.
Edit: If your cpu is misbehaving (even in stock), there is nothing you can do since its a hardware problem, you need to go to service centre.
I recently charged my phone overnight and suddenly the battery has gotten worse. I thought it was an error with the ROM possibly so I updated it and to no avail. On Ampere the battery health is good but the actual speed of charging fluctuates from 10ma to 1830ma (but it also peaked at 4880 so take that with a grain of salt). The battery has also been lasting a lot less than before. I'm running the default Global ROM. Any help is appreciated as currently I'm charging it fully to try and calibrate it.

seemingly rooting & deleting battery data file is the only solution. I'm hoping to recalubrate it naturally by totally discharging & recharging it to 100 upon normal usage don't know if it'll harm my battery though :/

Did that work for you? After 8 hours of charging I'm finally at 100 and hopefully it'll be good when I fully empty it and then charge it again

It is giving a little progress. But don't go discharging your battery down to 0%. It might harm your battery.

Does your phone charge quickly again? I'm following a guide I found on Android Pit and I hope it helps.
yeah I've noticed bad battery on last 2 updates, 7.3.6 and 7.3.7 global rom. Looking in installed apps, runing, I can lots of processes stuck on restarting all the time.
My battery was actually charging normally but the max amount of usage was like 4 to 5 hours SOT and in normal use one day and a half... This happened to me after flashing CM13, though i don't charge the developer for this "Problem" as it might not be the dev's fault but mine...

well it's my wife's phone and she says charging was still fine, but i wouldn't completely trust that.
but anyway, i think i jumped the gun on saying the problem was in 7.3.7 as well, as today's testing seems to show is back to something like normal again.. but I'm still going to keep an eye on it over the next few days
