Hi there,
For several days bothers me a big problem on my Galaxy S3. At low battery levels, usually about 15%, but sometimes at 40% or even on 95%, come when I play games (edit: happened in Chrome and some other apps) white lines on the screen. The bars are significantly more after a few seconds and then denied me the network connection, so no Internet and no connection. When I play over Wi-Fi, it flickers more and more and my phone restarts. The only thing I can do is to charge, then it doesn't happen. My first guess was the battery, I will then also exchange times. Which reminds me two apps have invaded that there might possibly be with the blame: Tasker (edit: uninstalling didn't help) and Lucky Patcher. My question would be: Can be caused by these apps these problems? Is it just the battery? Or is there something else broken, so I have to replace my phone completely?
My phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) with CyanogenMod11, Xposed, Busybox.
I hope someone can help me!

PS: sry for my English, it's from a translator...
First flash stock firmware with Odin and test again. If still the same then you have a hardware fault, probably motherboard.
I tried stock, didn't help. I ordered a new battery, then ill see. But i think its the battery because it bloated to twice the width...

I confirm it's the battery. I've seen S3s do this and normally they will start to flicker at 50% battery and restart. After the restart they show 0-5% battery.

From what I've heard, it's usually improved - BUT some power management bugs that affected stock Gingerbread kernels but were fixed in all custom kernels are still present in ICS, such as the good old fuel_alerted wakelock - so while it's better when working well, it's more prone to breaking.
I'm happy if my battery lasts for a day as i'm always messing with it(one of these days I might use it to make a phone call)! Have you tried putting it on charge at bedtime? I find that helps a lot.

I would try to avoid over-charging it, it's not good for any battery. Once it hits 100% (so long as it's correctly calibrated) unplug and use as normal.

same here i upgraded to ICS xxlpq and have been using it for 3 days, im struggling to get a day out of it ... its exactly the same setup as when i ran XEU (KI4) 2.3.4 unbranded UK. I noticed ram usage has increased as well as the amount of system processes. both times I rooted and removed bloatware. when my contract runs out in 6 months I will be looking at either a pure asop phone or an iphone 5, The galaxy s2 has a great screen but the batterylife if weak no matter what custom rom and custom kernal is running. Also I can get a wifi signal in my bedroom with my laptop and my old iphone 3gs but nothing with the s2.
Also please can anyone advise what the best pure and minimilistic asop rom will be for the galaxy s2 ive read cm9 mite be soon but is there anything thats great for battery life ? ...... thanks for you time in advance :=)

Upgrading to custom ICS roms is usually a great way to enhance your battery life, because they're always containing tweaks and optimizations!
This worked for me
Device: GT-I9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2 international)
Carrier: Smartone
Country / Language: Hong Kong
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): ICS 4.0.3/IML74K.ZSLPE
I can confirm that I have resolved the battery drain issue after upgrading to ICS on my device. The problem was partial wake locks caused by the exchange service.
One of these measures fixed the problem for me (it might have been any of these, although I have a strong suspicion that the factory reset is the only relevant one):
- factory reset of phone; didn't restore the settings and accounts, but set them up manually
- wiped cache
- did not reinstall ADW launcher
Hope that helps.
The good news is that now the battery life is definitely better than it was on Gingerbread.

This isn't really true. Once it hits 100% it pretty much runs off the charger.
By depleting it all the time you are ruining the battery that way

Leaving your phone on charge longer than is absolutely necessary ie taking it off charge as soon as it gets to 100% will not affect your battery life and there is also no need to manually calibrate the battery. I installed DXLP7 and was getting poor battery life due to a wakelock, I found and dealt with the cause and immediately battery life improved. In my experience battery life on ICS is as good as it was in gingerbread. Better battery stats is your friend.

I had upgraded my sgs2 to ics yesterday. The new version is draining the battery very seriously. In the previous version, my sgs2 could last for about 12 hours from a fully charged state. But now the version can only last for 6 hours, which is really unacceptable.
Is deep sleep? You can check with CPU-Spy. If not, remove the battery a few minutes and then returned.

I had huge battery drain issues from exchange and email waking the device and constantly doing something. Removed the accounts and then set them up again. Like night and day now, better than gb. On LP7 and never wiped.
Cheers

Keep a look with BetterBatteryStats, and see if there are any apps messing up.
I have better batterylife with ICS by a margin.
And about leaving the charger on during night, these are kind of myths really, you can keep it on without any worries, and also charge it without being totally drained.
Most of these thoughts come from the old Ni-Cd times with memory effect.
I had removed the Exchange Account yesterday and the battery drain problem disappeared. The account was added back after about 10 hours. The battery usage is now back to normal (a little bit better than the situation before the ics upgarde). Thanks for your hint.
Cheers.
SG S2 ICS Battery drain issue
Had upgraded to ICS when it launched in India and literally went berserk due to the battery drain issue. Googled and googled, found a lot of things, tried most of them (except for changing ROMs).
Then, Voila, last 4 days - a complete twist to my sorry tale. I first disabled the phone backup option (to Google), did a factory reset, said No to most of the options that are asked on restart, and didnt install the earlier applications from the Play store en masse (earlier, had a number of games and other 'what I thought was useful' apps). Now, only have the basic apps plus Poweramp, Shazam and NQ Mobile added. And the result - the battery is back to normal. Phew....big relief as I use the phone pretty much for mails, music, phone.
I want yo add some thing very annoying, I discovered today after upgrading to Resurrection ROM.
In fact, even with the device connected to my car power supply and using Copilot for about 1 hour, the battery continued it's discharge instead of charging.
So what to say and what to do?
Cheers
Hello guys,
I'm a little bit desperate with my battery. One month ago I updated from ICS to JB in my s2 i9100 and the horrible loop started:
- Between 100-70% of charge everything is going more or less ok
- Suddenly, phone turns off. After restarting, the battery is around 40% and very unstable
- Now it's even worse, without charger, the phone remains up only 15-20 minutes.
I tried EVERYTHING:
- All the roms for JB (all versions of RR, Paranoid Android) with all the combination of Kernels (CM10, Siyah and Dorimanx)
- Go back to ICS (of course, for every ROM I give to the phone 2-3 days to stabilise it)
- Battery calibration tools of the play store (even I paid 3$ for one of them)
- Battery calibration without being ROOT (the trick of this thread did not work. I tried 3 times)
- Reset fuel gauge chip from the ex-Tweaks
...
Any other idea/clue?
I'm about to give up, I think I'm going to get a new battery. I prefer to pay 15-20$ than spending hours trying to figure it out.
The last question. I'm assuming that a brand new battery will fix this problem. Am I right? I'm afraid of buying a new battery and facing the same issue.
If I get a new one I am supposed to do some operation on the phone before to install it?
Currently I'm using RR 3.1.1 with dorimanx kernel.
Thank you very much in advance!*
You guys do an AWESOME job with this forum.

My battery SUCKS now. If I'm using the telephone in a normal way (surfing, music, videos)... it goes down every 30 minutes.
I'm going to try to remove for a while right now. You mean, minutes, hours, days?
Yes, I tried to wipe battery stats from recovery with no results.
Thank YOU very much for your interest
just remove it 2-3 min but i don't think it will be better. Can you tell me how is it after. Thanks.

Try RootBox 3.0 with dorimanx 7.4. I've been using it since it came out with no problems.
If you're worried about battery try better battery stats to check the wakelocks and cpu spy to see if your device is deep sleeping

Hey guys,
I'm a new Galaxy S2 owner, since I was able to get a real / near new condition galaxy S2 for cheap I'm having an issue with screen on. I have seen loads of posts, tried loads of things, but haven't been able to get over 4 hours screen time. Now before people say 4 hours is enough, it isn't. I use my phone for everything and I need it to last at least 6 hours with screen time. My standby time if I leave it is around 12 hours. That's it.
Now before you go and say go and get a bigger battery. I have. I have the extended Samsung Galaxy S2 Official 2000 mah battery some people I know have been able to get 5 - 6 hours screen time no problem. I'm lucky to get around 3 hours.
It seems screen related and if I put the screen to auto brightness my battery is halved from the 3 hours I get. I just don't get it. I have tried Stock Samsung Firmware, to The latest and greatest Neat ROM. I was able to get 5 hours and 49 minutes some how, once. But now I can't reach anything like that. It's killing me as it is such a great phone and I don't want to get another stupid bulky battery.
Any ideas on kernels? Different ROM maybe? I want to stick with jelly bean but if people can better screen on time with different ROM's I'd be happy to switch.
Thanks for the quick read, Hope you can help me before I just sell this phone again, Which I don't want to do, it's a great piece of tech

Yeah it's neatrom lite 5.2, battery was brand new and sealed. Battery cycle as in fully charge, fully discharge? I have done every time since I have got the battery. I have power saving enabled. I would be happy with around 5 hours screen time, That'd be perfect. I use spotify in the car every morning for an hour and in the evening for an hour and two and from work related travel. But apart from spotify I use facebook, whatsapp, but that's mainly it, i don't see why it has to just drain so quickly. I also have green power switching off data when I lock the screen and it re-switches it on every 10 minutes to sync my stuff. That kind of helped. But not a huge deal.

try to use your old battery again, if the problem persists.
if yes your new battery is faulty and you should look for a more qualitative replacement.

Cleaning everything, as you stated, including the whole firmware,
You answered your whole thread yourself, just flash stock frimware, then flash AEX like flashing any normal ROM.
I have the same problem, the battery die after 1h screen, when the battery Is on 20% the device shutdown,help me pls, i have rr with franco kernel.
hi OP. base on what you are describing, it looks like your battery is dying... nothing to do with the OS. be careful 'cause chinese batterys (like 70%) turn out to be real sh*t (on my own experiance). consider to replace battery from a confiable retailer or change device.
