Hellow all
I updated my x10 to 2.1.A.0.435 last week
It was all fine for the first few days
But I found something terrible two days ago
My battery is draining for no reason!!
I dont know why!!
It drained from 100% to 18% in one night(8hr)
and it said most of the battery was used on cell standby(52%)
I've never seen this before
Before I updated the battery was mostly used on display or idling
I have every setting the same as it was in 2.0.A.0.024
Does anybody have the same problem as I do?
Please help me
thx

That sounds like exactly what happened for me as well. It was fine 5 days and then went downhill with the cell standby number getting bigger and bigger.
Any solutions?
Thanks much.
sounds very much like a faulty app to me, stopping the phone from sleeping. What did you install immediately prior to the phone battery problems starting? Do you have a task killer? if they're not properly set up they can prevent the phone from sleeping.
I haven't installed any new apps for a while.
May be really flash again. I did mine n its gives me one full day n a bit more

I forgot about Handy Calc, which I did install about the time of the battery problem. I uninstalled it and went back to my old program, Real Calc. let's see if that was the problem.
Thanks for helping.

had the same prob but installed juice defender and enabled auto kill in aggresive mode and each 30 mins
sometimes it can last for like 4 days w/o charging (using 3g) others not so lucky lol
I ran into the same problem.
What causes Cell Standby to run so high that I have found to work for me is 1 of 2 reasons.
1: Your phone is continualy searching for service
2: Your phone is not staying on 3G and is jumping back and forth from 3G to Edge network due to bad service. Or your on Edge and it is trying to connect to an unavailable 3G Network.
I fixed my problem with turning off 3G Service unless I know for a fact that it is available. As far as not having service, turn on Airplane Mode to keep your cell from searching for service.
How to know whether Im in a good condition of service?
The signal is well (3 of the 4 bars on the frame)
and I think Im always on 3G (I can see only 3G or H on the frame)
But the pointer only shows up when Im downloading apps
Is it normal?
Thx
Reflashed again from update service
installed only astro file manager, google map, systemapp remover and market
but still has the problem......
it is now
cell standby 33%
display 30%
phone idle 26%
can somebody please help..........please......
I think the problem is the 2.1.A.0.435. Almost everyone who updated the firmware to use Z's Froyo Beta 4 reported battery draining issues and some guys suggested that the problem could be sony's new firmware/baseband. Since it affects both ppl using official 2.1 and 2.2.1 Beta 4, seems like they were right. Only workaround I found is keeping the phone with edge only, since the draining issue seems 3g related.
I most definately agree with the above post about the app '' juice defender ''. My battery started sucking the juice after the latest firmware update and even more after the FreeX10 Beta4 ROM but now it last longer than any other time. Just customize the settings for your tastes. I have found that it is not needed to use a task killer.
having the same battery drain problem. Pre 435 update I got 2-3 days without charging, immediately after upgrading to 435 the battery dropped to 60% after 4 hours. No wifi, bluetooth, GPS, 3G or new apps installed. I just think its a crappy software build.
I have the same problem, battery drain 75% in 10 hours, only make 2 calls (10mins) during the 10 hours , I have cell stand by 54% .
After reading this thread, I check my phone and found that Cell Standby is on 67% on .435 firmware. It used to be the Display which is having higher percentage of use. But I never see any unusual drain on my phone. It still drop 1% overnight from 10pm to 7am...
i had this kind of problems on my optimus,wildfire also x10.some apps even after uninstalling leave mess on phone memory which drains battery.i always did hard reset and battery got back to normal
As far as I know, this bug is related to gingerbread and not by samsung, somehow it is triggered randomly (some say google maps, others say wifi or games) and the root cause is unknown, that's why some people haven't experience it, a quick temp solution is to restart the device but this is just terrible solution..if you are affected pls help spread the word so the issue becomes a high priority in google, the issue is already raised here since Feb 2011 and a lot of people have already experienced it (I myself experienced it):
http: / / code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15057
but it is still under medium priority, unbelievable! do you remember the SMS bug? google got pressured when it was spread in forums and news site..I think we can do the same here..let's raid android forums and android news site
here's the thread detailing the bug:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039696
it happened to me once...as you said before i restarted the phone and everythnig was normal again..
battery drain was due to wi fi sharing(although it was turned off)..and
dialer(dont know why...nearly 20% battery drain...) mainly...
I reverted back to KE2, factory reset, rooted, froze the bloat and getting phenomenal battery life.

No never only time i get battery drain is the usual after flashing a rom .

I'm on build KE3 and in 4 days I have experienced no battery drain. Every time I check battery usage; it's usually 50% display drain.

Hi mate,
I used madmack's ROM which is based KE7 to enable Arabic.
What does factory reset means? will I loose all this setup? also how do you do the reset?
What would be my options if I want to keep madmack's ROM?
Kind regards,
Sul
The battery on my UK Vodafone supplied SGS2 doesn't last long.
The battery usage shows the following:
1) Android OS 54%
2) Email 20% (I have an exchange account)
3) Display 12%
4) Cell standby 5%
3) The rest is divided up as Phone idle and Android System
This is after just over 11hours of it being turned on, with a 3G, no wi-fi, gps or bluetooth, and the battery is nearly drained.
Does anyone know what type of usage accounts for 'Android OS'. I have no idea why it uses so much of my battery. I don't use the phone that much, i'm not playing with apps and fiddling.
The 3G signal is for my Vodafone Sure Signal. Since it's local to my house, the transmit and receive power is very low, far less than if I were outdoors with a 3G signal.
I wondered if the various types of Sync's that are performed in the background are what's accounting for 'Android OS'.
I've turned off the live wallpaper now to see if that improves things, just in case that wallpaper keeps cycling even though the screen is off.
I'm not getting the monstrous drains some are reporting, but still a solid 21% of Android OS plus 5% of Android System (whatever the difference is there). I can't remember exactly if my Hero had the same amount, but I think it was lower than that.
Got the drain. A factory reset fixed the problem, and I'm gradually re-enabling services and accounts now.
Just enabled my second Google account now, and the results are a bit worrying. I'll post back when I know.
How can you find out the battery usage??? I can't find it anywhere on my SGS2, I want to know too
Sorry, I've found it...
Mine is (without sim card, wifi on)
Android OS : 16%
Display : 14%
Android system : 3%
Phone idle : 2 %
Cell standby 65%
Yep I get it. Maybe we could start a poll?
For anyone else experiencing this battery drain: Factory reset helped A LOT. Doesn't seem to matter much which sleep policy I have for Wifi either, and all my Google accounts are added now. Will be re-connecting some more accounts and changing some settings gradually over the next days. I'll post back if I find anything that breaks my newfound battery life.

I had this problem on my S as well... seemed to happen randomly. Some days the phone would have stellar battery life, others it would die before the work day was over.
What's the point of doing a factory reset then loading up all the same stuff you had on it last time which will eventually lead you to the same problem?

I'm asking my own too.
i had the same problem as Madcow29 my cell standby is 70% without sim and wifi on. 22 hours and the battery was emty
Hi there folks, yes i'm noob, i tried to search for a similar situation but i would apreciate another opinion since i'm observing my phone and i can't understand at all. Everything started when i was on 4.0.3 stock branded and my batteriy suffered of instant drain, random reebot and stuff, i decided to move to Cyano9 but the situation was the same and so here i am on a 4.0.3 stock italian after a deep clean. The problems persist and it's get annoying. i noticed that the phone shut down mostly when i'm using it (browsing internet, downloading stuff..), in the last few hours twice while downloading from play store, and once when playing a game, and after the shut down i have problems in restarting it; when i manage to power on (sometimes recharger is needed) the battery ha 30/40/50% lower charge. First I think it was a rom problem (cyano9), but now problems won't end, the fact that the phone reboot when i'm using it does indicate that there is still a software problem or maybe it's just the battery that can't handle anymore? i have this phone since last year and previously I've noticed a general lower charge. I hope it's not an "internal" problem, i can buy another battery, but not another phone! I've tried to recalibrate several times, two or tree time waiting for total loss of percentage and recharging it for 4 hours, using recalibration tool from Google play, as i recall a wipe battery... from clockwork, but now my cell is not rooted.

Hello everyone, I'm using Motorola Atrix with Epinter CM10 4.1 ROM for last 2 months, I was very happy with battery life. Phone wasn't getting hot and with normal usage, even with 3G on (in my country only options are 2G and 3G), I could get %40 of battery end of the day. But for no reason, phone has started to get hot (only 2G on) and drains battery really quickly for last 1 week. I can't even get %5 battery left from morning to evening now. I didn't change anything, only installed Adobe Flash 11.1, then I deleted it but nothing has changed. Phone gets into deep sleep no problem with that, no background apps. I did a virus scan both on phone and from computer, both came out clean. I reinstalled rom. Nothing. I'm gonna crash my phone against wall it's really annoying. I think I'm gonna do factory wipe and reinstall rom again.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Do you leave wifi switched on at all times?
I use MIUI on my Atrix (partially based on epinter's work, I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong), but I have found that the phone suddenly starts staying awake for no apparent reason a while (often a couple of days) after I've left wifi switched on. This obviously causes bad battery drain. I can usually get the phone to sleep again by rebooting with wifi switched off (I think) and a battery pull is invariably required.
I now just switch on wifi when I have large files to download then turn it off straight afterwards.
Not sure if it is the same issue or not, but Better Battery Stats (which can be downloaded on xda) indicated the Rilj process was stopping the phone from sleeping when this problem occurred. It is worth trying this app to see if it gives any indication what is causing your battery drain.

No I switch between mobile data and wifi. Thank you for your suggestions and opinions but I really don't think my problem is about sleep. It started to get hot and drain when I actually use the phone. For example, I was checking Twitter for 10 min. with 3G and battery was dropping %1. Now it drops %5 with 2G on and gets really hot like 35-37 Celsius degree. I'm using Watchdog to oversee processes and nothing is working without my knowledge on background.
Hi,
I have the same problem on the nottachtrix roms since the last 2 weeks, I tried switching to epinter cm10 with no luck. Ordered a new battery to check if the battery is dead or if the atrix is faulty
if you find a fix, please post it here

install gsam battery monitor to see your phone's awake time. this drain happens to me also when i listen to music or take a photo. something with mediaserver keeps the phone awake and then only thing to do is kill mediaserver or a reboot.
Regardless of which other apps you are using to monitor app and process usage, I'd recommend trying Better Battery Stats as this is much more detailed and low-level than other apps I've encountered.
It's a free download for xda members:

Little update.
I turned back to factory settings, then did a full wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe. I was so annoyed I even did system wipe manually from advanced options in recovery. I reinstalled Epinter CM10 rom, got my apps back thanks to Titanium Backup. Installed GSAM (thanks to saldirai), downloaded SetCpu and chose Nvidia Tegra 2 T20/AP20H, underclocked to 912 mhz. Couldn't done any undervolting sadly, says something about governor.
Now I'm checking battery stats and temperature by GSAM, so far no complaints and better from yesterday BUT I haven't use my phone heavily yet. Temperature changes between 26-31 Celsius degrees, battery drops %1-2 percent on use -also it needs calibration- with only wifi use which is always on. I'll update this post if anything changes.
Update: I think I've found the problem. When I choose The Weather Channel widget to "use my location" phone immediately starts to get warm. Weird point is, this wasn't an issue before. Apart from that I'm playing New Star Soccer and Carmageddon for 3-4 hours with wi-fi full time on and battery drops to %30. I'm really happy about that. Normal battery temperature is about 25-32 during the day and different from before it quickly gets cold after I stop playing games. Just like before.
Hey Guys,
a while ago I started using CyanogenMod 12 & 12.1 based Custom ROMs on my i9300. The problem is that when I my phone deals bigger tasks my screen starts flickering and I lose network connection and after that my phone crashes. I can prevent the phone crash by plugging my phone to a charger.
Is this due to a broken battery or does this have anything to do with the android Lollipop memory leak?
Any help would be great. Thanks a lot
Replace the battery.
it's a battery issue
if u have swollen or flaw battery u face with this issue
