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..

That's exactly what I"m going to do. No other option left. Let's hope it works.

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
hello everyone,
I recently find that my s3 which is on LH1 4.0.4 is charging very slow,
so I decided to upgrade it to the latest firmware, hope for some fix.
I upgraded it to LI5 4.1.1 few days ago, but the problem got worse
now I can't even charge my phone! Both usb and the original ac charger.
Anyone experience the same problem with me?
Or can anyone help me to solve this annoying problem?
thanks a lot, and sorry for my bad english

Try charging with phone switched off.
That worked for me once.
Some resource intensive task is draining your battery simultaneously it seems.

Hi, I downloaded and installed XWLPY NeatRom Lite v3.5 (18th October 2012)a couple of days ago and now my battery is draining extremely fast. I tried a couple of battery managers and nothing seems to work.
Anyone with any ideas on what I can do to remedy this? Plus I can't see the update section in my settings, is it removed with this software?

The ROM doesnt have an update because the devs have removed it because you just flash an update. As for the battery drain give it a few more days if the problem persists try another ROM. If it still persists after that try recalibrating the battery or resetting the fuel gauge chip.
Hope this helps

Hi,
NeatROM 3.5 is one of the best ROMs from battery backup perspective. And I can say that because I am using it since 3.5 came out and have never had any issues.
For a better battery life, follow the steps from the link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33045733&postcount=8776
Please note that the instructions are prepared to get the most out of your battery. Even if you follow the few ones that you are comfortable with, you will surely see some improvement.
Please press Thanks if this has helped you.

I agree with you .I use NeatRom 3.5 with Dorimanx, the best combination for me.

Its simple mate. Just download an app and hit a button.
Usually battery drain is due to one of two things.
-Phone not going into deep sleep
-Wakelocks.
Download an app like CPU spy. you can use it to see whether or not your phone is going into deep sleep like it should. Also, use better battery stats to look for wakelocks. Download the app from HERE , let it run for one battery cycle and then check for wakelocks. If you dont know what those are, spend some time reading that thread.
But if you want to hold off for a couple of days, you can do that. It does take some time for a phone battery to settle when a new rom/kernel has been installed, after which battery life tends to improve.

Thank you very much for your help mate. I've tried a couple of battery managers off play (juice defender and another one). Right now kind of regretting this download, everything seems to be going wrong;
1. battery is draining @ 15% in 20 mins ( I only bought the battery last week after having the phone unlocked).
2. there's a lot of lag
3. screens keep freezing and
4. keep losing reception and constantly having to restart phone.
I only downloaded this cause after unlocking my phone it failed to update. Is there any other that I can download that works well with SGS2?
There's no dearth of ROMs for the i9100 dude. Try a couple out and see if those help. If its stability you're after, maybe use an ICS Rom rather than JB.
15% in 20 mins isn't normal even for a first day..you sure it isn't a faulty battery right? Was it giving decent life before you switched to this ROM?
Try downloading a calibration app and see what the voltage is when it says its charged 100%. Should be around 4100-4200 mAh.
As for the lags and freezes, did you wipe data, cache etc before you installed this Rom?

I had cleared the cache in settings before installing. Like I said, my first time doing this. Seemed straight forward at the time.
Since my phone is unlocked, will it return to ics4.0.3 which is what I had before?
Battery calibration app is showing 4161mv.
Will a factory reset help?
Thanks for all the help, site can be a bit confusing sometimes lol.

Cache from settings? No. I meant clearing cache from the CWM recovery menu. If you installed the ROM via CWM, that is.
If you did, I'd suggest reinstalling it again via cwm this time clearing data, cache and dalvik cache.
Ok..I just realised I totally assumed you'd installed it using CWM. Not sure if you did.
You can return to 4.0.3 if you want. Download stock firmware from sammobile.com and install it via Odin. I'm sure there's a guide on how to do that somewhere on this site.
Just noticed someone posted instructions on maximising battery. Did you use those? It could explain the freezes if they started after that. Some phones just can't handle undervolting etc.

Morning, I downloaded some battery managers and seems to be working better and faster. Battery discharged 27% in 5 hours.
Will see how it goes over the next couple of days.
Teaches me a lesson to do my research first lol.
Below is a screen shot of the apps I installed.
Thanks and gave a great day!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Haha that's a lotta apps just to save battery. As long as it helps eh? 27% in 5 hours is pretty acceptable for moderately heavy use. Depends on your signal strength and whether you're using data or on WiFi etc.

let the ROM settle, 2 or 3 battery cycle.
installs BBS, cpu spy and gsam battery monitor
check which app is consuming more battery
if it is media scanner, there is rescan media apk available to disable it.
calibrate the battery and monitor it.

Use Siyah kernel v6 beta4 instead of stock kernel, Plus it will give you root, cwm and SU.

I`m able to fix my problem. Connected my phone to my PC and it is repaired to me. It was take around 1 hour to check and fix. After that I`m able to format over windows and now everything is working perfectly.
It's about the memory
I had the same problem with my S2 , it was getting hot and the battery life was shorter than norma, i has so little free memory on phone memory,so i deleted some apks and created some free space and the problem solved,my phone returned to it's normal state.i think that was the reason so check this out if it works. :good:

Turn off google now its tracks where you every 20 sec and this eats battery very fast. It will use about 3-5% battery a hour. Also install deep sleep battery saver
Look a trick for saving battery this method disables background processes in settings go to development and down, limit background processes to 1 or 2

i have the same problem and havent found a solution yet
So this started happening out of nowhere yesterday. All of a sudden the phone started getting VERY hot and draining battery like crazy. My first thought was to check battery stats and see if a new app update was draining battery, but nothing out of the ordinary. So I powered the phone off to let it cool down. Weirdest thing I've seen, but it stayed hot for over an hour while turned off, and when I turned back on it had drained over 70% battery. I did a full wipe to try to resolve the issue but no luck.
Seems like it's a hardware problem at this point but I was hoping somebody might be able to offer some insight. Any ideas? Thanks!

Mine did this for a while while I was trying out the stock firmware. It got so hot it burned. So I contacted HTC and they said 270$ to fix it. I didn't bother with them and Verizon just wanted me to use their edge program. Instead I flashed Viper room and the issue stopped. Haven't had any issues since then regarding battery drain or over heating. What are you running for software. If your running stock try a custom rom. Also to help battery I recommend using greenify it makes a big difference.

I'm running CM11 and have been for months. I'll try flashing over a Sense ROM and see if it makes any difference.
The thing that gets me is it happens even when I'm booted into recovery, so it shouldn't matter what ROM is installed on it.

It's probably hardware related then. If your within the 1 year warranty HTC will replace it. If not your gonna have to pay to get it fixed or maybe Verizon can help you out.
