It isn't normal.... Maybe you have bad battery? Because looking at the battery stats, there are no wakelocks or battery draining apps on you phone,.. I think you should check your device at local service center.
P.S. You can always try to factory reset phone and see if that helps.
First of all perform a factory reset, do not download any apps for 1,2 days see if it fixes the problem. IF it does then maybe there was a rouge app draining battery. If the problem persists try the following procedure (at your own risk i am not liable if you mess anything up)
STEP ONE: Check your phone model, also check if it is on any carrier (like o2, three etc)
STEP TWO: Go to sammobile (search it) and under the firmware tab type your phone model. It will display some results
STEP THREE: On the results page there should be a drop down list on the right side of the page that says "Choose country" click it and choose the correct carrier if your phone is on any carrier or you can choose the correct firmware (the one before update) from the results page displayed earlier.
STEP FOUR: Open youtube and search how to use ODIN (Odin is the tool to flash samsungs stock firmwares watch any video from 2014-15).
STEP FIVE: Download ODIN from a reliable source and Flash the downloaded firmware:
Report if the problem has fixed.

the very odd thing is even when the phone is switched off, it's still warm, and then the battery will be drained till 0%.. yeah, i visited the service center yesterday, and they told me they would keep the phone for 3 days for troubleshooting..

i've tried factory reset, but no luck.. then i try reupdating the phone by using samsung smart switch, also no luck..
as for odin, haven't tried it, because i don't want to lose the knox yet..
850A SnapD you have?
Flashing stockfirmwares downloaded from SAMMOBILE with ODIN "DOES NOT TRIGGER KNOX" ...i have done it thousand times on my phones. Give it a try. But do it only if you are 100% sure that you are flashing the correct firmware for your device. (since u dont want to root so i cant suggest backup your current rom + EFS folder because it requires rooting)
in sammobile dont have 850A firware,that is problem

Hey musf,
I was wondering if you managed to fix your problem? I have the exact same issue since this week and it's driving me crazy.
I am running KK 4.4.4 and using a 2500 mAh battery, which used to last easily for 2 days. When not actively used, no more than 3% of battery were drained per hour according to GSam battery monitor. A few days ago I noticed that my battery only recharged to 50% over night (phone was left on) and got really, really hot (more than 55 °C according to GSam). Ever since it drains 20% - 40% per hour. Even with the screen off and flight mode activated the 100% full battery is empty within 3 hours!!! The temperature does not drop below 35°C when put on a table without case, which tells me that it is constantly working in the background. This would also explain the bad recharging while becoming very hot at the same time. The strange thing is that the main draining processes under battery are "system on standby (27%)", "android system (26%)" and "screen (12%)", which absolutely makes no sense. At the same time, deep sleep info reports 93% deep sleep percentage, also weird.
Things I tried so far, which did NOT help:
- Use the original 1860 mAh battery
- Factory reset with no apps installed except pre-installed ones
- Factory reset via Kies (re-initialization)
- Recalibrate the battery (drain completely; reload fully with phone turned off; over-charge)
- Deactivate google play services and play store
I would be thankful for ANY suggestions!
edit: Since the battery is drained and becomes hot even with the phone turned off, but not when stored outside the phone, I guess my phone has a short circuit somewhere, so I'll have to take it to the store...
Just turn off wifi and set screen britness to aouto

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.

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,

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 had the same problem as Madcow29 my cell standby is 70% without sim and wifi on. 22 hours and the battery was emty
Hello,
I wanted to get your guys opinion as I believe my phone may have turned defective and I really don't want to go down the Warranty Route as I'll loose the phone for weeks. And willing to try anything suggested.
So here's the problem:
Battery Draining at very high rates. On stock battery, I am draining about 12% an hour, after 6 or so hours my 15% battery capacity left warning turns on. I figured it was the battery, so bought a double capacity 4200mAh Hyperion Battery. Now my battery drain is at 6% an hour (which is equivalent to the factory battery considering the double capacity).
I am currently on XXELKC 4.1.2 Stock ROM. When I first noticed the problem, I was on 4.1.1. Figured I would ODIN, Wipe all cache's, and start clean. This has made no affect on battery life.
Here's what I've tried:
- 4.1.1, 4.1.2 Stock ROMs from Wipe - High Drain
- Airplane Mode with Location Services Disabled - High Drain, but 4.5% an Hour instead of 6% an Hour.
- Disabled all Samsung Apps - seemed to have little impact
- Disabling Google Now has made zero impact on battery life.
- 4.1.1 BBS revealed nothing - may need to try again on 4.1.2
Any ideas? Or is this sounding like the phone? Is it possible after a wipe the phone, when I re-enter my Google Credentials it is restoring some data which is defunct and causing high drain?
Note: Screen shots are with the double capacity battery taken right after a clean Odin upgrade to 4.1.2. Only ran Android Activation and thats it.
It looks like your phone isnt going to sleep properly. Try a custom rom/kernel.
Have you done a full whipe ?? If not, do so, and don't forget to make a back up first. It worked for me !
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I had similar issues, I factory reset worked, and I also download rescan media root app to disable the media scanner which was my main battery killer.
WHen you do the factory reset make sure your phone is connected to the internet, so it will prompt google to store the apps you have and remote install when you sign back into the phone.
I have performed a full wipe but that had minor impact on battery life but I wounder if the Google Restore possibly restored an invalid setting. I will try this again without entering my credentials and see if there is a link with a restored setting. I will have to give the rescan media app a try as well.

Any specific kernel in mind. From what I've been reading no kernel seemed to stand up to magically solve battery issues without voltage drop or cutting services like Google now from the rom.
use better battery stats app to determine what is causing those wake locks.

I have attached a run with BBS for 1 hour. Nothing is really standing out. The phone was in deep sleep for all but 2 minutes. I did have Google Now and Location Services Disabled as that was eating away an impressive 10 minutes / hour from deep sleep. But my battery life only increased from 6% an hour to 4.5% an hour. An improvement but weak IMO considering the larger battery.
Results from BBS is attached.
I once had that kinda issue too
What I did was Factory Reset and that did the trick for me
How about trying the app CPU sleeper?

I've had this issue before on the i9100 Galaxy S II, where it didn't seem to matter what I did, it chewed battery just as soon as I put my Google account back onto the handset. I believed it was caused by the Samsung calendar bug. So absolutely; try it without putting your Google account onto the device.
Also, your WiFi signal looks low, although this has less of a difference compared to having low mobile coverage...

your first post has a huge amount of wakeocks that arent going to be reflected with an hours run on BBS. If i were you id charge it to 100%, unplug just before going to bed and then show us the BBS log in the morning so people can see whats happening over an 7-8 hour peroid

Its more what apps are using the wifi connection and waking the phone up, thats what the op needs to look into

More information can't hurt. Post in and Maybee there is a correlation.
OK. So I went ahead with your suggestions and did the following
Factory Wipe again from Settings Menu
Went back to factory Samsung battery for consistency in reports to other users
Took out both my sim and sdcard to eliminate those possibilities
Put into airplane mode
Disabled a bunch of apps (ss on next post)
Still bismal results but better than before. 7 percent an hour drain. Attached all the files. Ideas? Google says phone is awake but bbs doesn't seem to shed any clues for me...
And here are the disabled and installed apps
your phone isnt going to sleep at all....something is keeping it awake..try a stock rom ( any will do) with full wipe. Dont restore anything with titanium backup. Disable auto sync on everything. Set wifi sleep policy to always. See if the problem persists.

That last run posted was stock 4.1.2 XXELKC firmware and Factory Wipe from Settings Menu. I also performed Wipe and Cache Wipe in the Bootloader (Power Up + Center + Power). All I did was install bbs and never put in Google or Samsung credentials and disabled some stock apps from running.
If your not referring to factory Wipe, can you please explain further? Thanks.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
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.
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.

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

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 only used my phone very little today as I have been distracted with other things and I slept all day so battery have been ok. I will return with results another time when I have been using my phone as I usually do.

Go to settings>more settings> mobile networks > change it to gsm
Try this first. If this resolves good otherwise find a suotable modem compatible with your area (search xda) and flash the modem zip file via recovery

I cannot find the GSM option there, got nothing from googling either.
Included a picture of what it looks like.

Prefer network type, use 2G.
Mostly it has better connection, but not good for internet

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.
Hi,
I just bought a Xperia X, and I have a battery drain issue. I made different tests, but can't find why it is draining my battery
Yesterday, I unplugged my phone, and let it 24 hours without using it. Here is the battery stats (see attach file). As you can see, the "Android OS" drained all the battery.
Any idea ?
I wouldn't even consider it a problem yet if it's less than a week/month old. It's a brand new device at the very least it'll need a week's worth battery of cycles(charge to 100% then discharge to 0%) before it'll get anywhere near its proper battery life, how's it set up is Data,Bluetooth ect always on, is the background data turned off also How is it used ect.
I'd first try a hard reset holding the power button and vol up till it vibrates(same as removing the battery) and clear play services data if it's still the same after a day or so try a factory reset or software repair via Sony pcc either way I wouldn't worry too much yet
I finally found the origin of the battery drain : it was an application ("La Poste") which was locating me permanently. I uninstalled it, and I have no more battery drain.
How's the x other than that, I can't wait for my upgrade next month should have one myself then
