[Q] Display causes extremly battery drain - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi folks
I've bought an sgs2 about an half year ago.
But unfortunately my phone hit the ground before 4 or 5 months. My display has 2-3 little cracks.
First, I don't realized that my battery was draining soo extremly, but since a few weeks I noticed it.
Display uses about 90% and more from the battery.
I'm on WizzedKat 2.9 Final with DorimanX v8.43
Before this I was first on Resurrection Remix and then on PAC with both original kernels.
Is this battery drain kernel related, rom related or is the cracked display the reason?
Sorry for my (probably) bad english.
Greetings from rainy Germany

If your screen is on for more than 3 hours in a full battery discharge, I think you are getting decent battery backup. Cracked screen cant be blamed for this. There can be many possibilities on which you will have to work one by one and eliminate them till you find the rootcause
1. You have apps which are triggering some screen on wakelocks.
2. Your battery life is over. It needs a change.
3. You have already tried various ROMs/kernels. Its time to try another modem/radio. The probability of it being the cause is quite low as you are having drain because of screen, but still, worth a try.

First, thanks for your response @banjara!
1. I've installed BBS and there are no signs for me that there are display wakelocks. But i can be wrong.
2. I can eliminate this issue, because i've tried several batterys from friends, but compared to their devices my device lasts (with same battery) muuuuch shorter than theirs.
3. I decided to flash "XXLS6" modem (I was on XXLS8) and flashed SlimKAT now.
I will report in 2-3 days on how much energy the display uses.
Thank you!

[Q] My battery drains in 1-2 hours, takes longer to charge...

I have the stock CM10 rom installed, and it usually does something like this that only lasts for a few days and goes back to normal. But this has lasted for almost a month now. As you can see in the pic, sometimes its says charging but doesn't "gain" energy, and when it does in drains extremely quickly. When it is asleep or turned off it still drains. I tried charging it with a different cord, then with my computer. Then I tried using a GS3 cord & adapter, it charged faster, but I couldn't tell how fast it drained since I wasn't using it.
Do I need to replace the battery? If I do, will it cost a lot, because if it does I'm just going to get a Note or DNA....
Try using a battery calibration app, people say to use it when you flash a new rom. Also, it might be an actual problem with the battery itself. Try getting a replacement battery if so. But then again, before you do that try going to stock and see if the problem is still present.

once it charges I'm going to see if that will help. and my son deleted my stock rom (long story), so I'm stuck on jb/ics.
Also its recommended after you calibrate to drain the battery to 0% and then recharge to 100% afterwards. And as far as the stock rom goes, you can restore using Odin and download mode

wow it worked, the battery lasted from 5:30 to 7:10, a new record since I ever brought the device

[Q] Custom Rom bad for battery idle

Hi,
I'm off to a festival soon and usually I have to bring 2 standard fully charged batteries and a 4300mAh anker battery to get through because all the ROMs I use seem to drain my battery, idle or not.
I have rooted my S3 since the beginning, going through a ridiculous amount of custom ROMs but now I'm starting going back to stock would be a better option. I've been using an iPhone 5 recently and was absolutely amazed when I fully charged it at 100% and then 2 hours later it hadn't dropped a single percent, granted it was locked the whole time but if I did this with my current S3 then I would of lost probably around 10 percent.
Can anybody recommend me a good ROM and tell me how much battery they're left with when they go to sleep/wake up. Approximately I will lose probably about 35-40% during the night.
right now i'm using the latest version of android revolution on my i9300
Stay on sammy based roms if you want better battery life, and if you want, stay on stock for stability, just fully debloat it from all of samsung crapola and install for ex. boeffla kernel. Kernel is the main succesor for good battery life in my opinion.
Then try playing with the kernel in boeffla settings, if you stick to zzmoove governor you'll get max 1% drop overnight (that's 8-9h).
Also to mention, all apps are greenified except Facebook and Whatsapp, WiFi was on but sync, gps, bluetooth etc was off, aaand battery is 1.5y old.
P(r)oof:
When i wen't to sleep round 1AM it was on 71%, in 9AM it was on 70%.

I had boeffle before but didn't alter the default governor, just changed it to zzmove/zzmove battery so going to charge phone to full and see what drops I have, thanks for the tip

[Q] Crazy battery drain

Are others having this? i mean i go through a full battery about twice a day.... I cant figure out what is draining it so bad. i have used WLD, greenify, and bootmanager to try to figure it out..... None of my apps are ever on the battery list, and screen is around 50% usually with android system and android OS always being up the list. I always thought it was my bad signal strength at work but i had two weeks off and my phone NEVER lasted even close to a day.
I have factory reset once but loaded my same apps backup.
I heard someone else mention that the sprint has this weird battery drain that is explainable and was wondering if others see that also.
I am on the search for a 6000+ mah battery i know it will have a replacement back plate but i don't want the whole case thing like the 9000 zero lemon.
Sounds like kernel wakelock
As of the last two days i have also been experiencing much faster battery drain. Have had the phone since launch and never had this problem.
I do not use the device in excess. Very few if any phone calls per day, some texting and gmail, occasional skim of xda, huffpo, phandroid apps and very light Twitter use if bored and not near the computer.
Battery has dipped 5% since writing this post...that's all of 1-2 minutes in use.

That's not normal for a Sprint LG G3. A couple of questions:
Have you looked at the battery stats page to see what app(s) are using the most battery? I'd suggest taking a screen shot of that page and posting it here.
Have you tried rebooting the phone? If there's an app or process running out of control that will often clear it up.
Are you rooted? If so, install better battery stats so we can get a better look at what's eating the battery.
Finally, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...android-system-eating-your-battery-check.html
While it's unlikely you have the same problem I did, the tools and techniques I used to debug it might be useful for you.
Gonna wait for some custom roms to see if the problem just goes away.

Dude the battery app should show you what is causing it. Something has gone rouge!!! I just had my weather app running in the background using GPS for 5 hours, yeah my battery went way down. Freeze some BS apps. I routinely get 30 hrs plus on a single charge. Not the phone itself something you are using is causingi it.
As requested, my craptastic battery info. Brightness was 83.

Very poor battery life after marshmallow upgrade

Hello,
i recently upgraded my Nexus 9 to Android 6.0 (Marshmallow MRA58K) with the factory image. So the tablet was completly wiped. The system is completly stock, no root.
After that i'm experiencing very poor battery life (see attached screenshot). Basically, i unplugged the tablet this morning (at 100% battery) and it was lying around in the living room all the day, doing nothing and this evening the battery was down to 63%. Battery optimization is turned on.

I don't even know what the process "99113" is doing.
Any suggestions?

If there are only 3 things each using 1 % of the battery life then its sounds like the battery reader isn't properly calibrated. Let it run till it shuts off then plug it in and let it charge back up. If if that solves it. I am rooted but have no real changes that would effect power and I get 3-4 days on my 6.0 install.
As above post. If anything, I am getting better battery life with Marshmallow.

I'm getting better battery as well.....it does take a while for it to calibrate itself after the update.
Here is a screen cap of my battery life:

Okay, after "calibrating" it seems to be better.
But, what i noticed, there seems to be a massive battery drain when connected to a 5 GHz WLAN. Anybody seeing the same thing?

My battery life has been severely degraded as well after installing the OTA update to Marshmallow. I have not tried calibrating the battery and will try that after my battery drains to 0 and the device turns off.
Its better to charge your device before it runs out...
Factory Reset over Recovery
I had the same symptoms like running out of battery in one day doing nothing.
Problem was solved after a factory reset in recovery (Power+Down)
"Battery Calibration" did not work at all

Battery Drain on Every Android Device with different ROMs and SIM cards.

Hi,
I have an issue for over a year now. I am feeling kind of cursed. I try to explain my situation without too much detail.
I have a Honor 6 smartphone, after a few weeks my battery time got terrible. From 6h SoT (screen-on-time), I am now at ~2.5hrs on average. Since then, I have this battery draining thing on EACH phone.
I thought my phone was corrupt, so I ordered another Honor from Amazon (different model). I set up my Google account and installed WhatsApp. After a few full-charges, I was looking at my battery time: same terrible thing. People were getting ~7hrs SoT, my average was 2-3hrs.
I thought maybe Huawei made some mistakes with the Honor models, so I tried a OnePlus device. Guess what? Same issue.
I switched my network providers a few times. So it's not a SIM card related problem.
Is it possible that my Google account is somewhat "corrupt"? Because that's the only technical thing that's the same on each device.
It sounds like a conspiracy theory, that Google wants me to have bad battery life but I am serious. Could this be possible? I don't want to switch, I use many Google services (contacts, email, drive, etc)
Symptoms of my problem:
Occurs on several devices, sim cards (Austrian network providers A1, HoT, yesss), roms and android versions (from 4.4.2 to 6.0.1)
App usage of Android System is at least ~30% battery
Screen brightness around 30% auto brightness
LTE, GPS/Location, Bluetooth always disabled (I don't use these)
Battery drain while screen off: 3-5% per hour!
SoT around 50% of the values other people have (on the OnePlus I got 3hrs instead of 6, Honor devices 2.5 - 3.5 instead of 5-7)

Does anyone have a clue? I spent too much time with rooting, factory resetting, researching, etc. in the last 14 months - now I have no idea any more.
Thanks in advance!
One more thing: I use GSam Battery Monitor, BatteryBatteryStats, Wakelock Detector - and they can't "help" me.
Is there another tool, which has even more details? I don't think so, but there has to be hope
