I know battery has been diacussed before but i think this isnt normal. I left the office with almost full charge, listened to music on the.way with bluetoith headset for an hour. Got home and browsed for like half an hour. And here is my battery.
3 hours and the phone is almost dead. I have no apps running. I had 3g on when i left the officw and at home i used wifi.
Is this normal or should i take the.phone back for an exchange?
Regardless, i still love the phone.

RETURN ZE PHONE
get a new shiny in exchange
btw when u return the phone what do u say exactly
Thats ridiculous man. Maybe you're battery is broken.
That said mine has just drained 35% in 3 hours with almost no usage so maybe it is just the phone.
I think there is 100% guaranteed a software problem and we need samsung to fix it.
It says you've had the display on for quite a long time, music needs the display on? Also that wifi sharing is another culprit.
It drained because you had the screen on nearly the entire time not because anything else
Unless thats a case of the 'phone staying awake' bug. You can freeze wifi sharing with titanium backup to save some juice

I too am facing the same issue battery drain from 100% to 60% in a span of 3 hours.
I am having a mediocre usage of battery with touchdown as my mail client talking to my corporate exchange. Still it doesn't warrant a drain of 40% in 3 hours.
I dont have much apps installed. Even with juice defender I am not getting better results.

You could say it's normal because if you haven't yet rooted and frozen the wifi sharing process this is the exact behavior everybody else is also having. A new phone will behave in exactly the same way if it's using the current firmware.
You can do two things.
1. root and freeze the process with titanium backup or similar.
2. wait for the next official samsung firmware which may include a fix.
The rooting process takes about 15 minutes and is not too difficult. You may or may not get in to warranty trouble in case of repair, but as I and several of my friends saw it, there really is no other way unless you want a phone with 3-4 hours of battery compared to the 19-23 hours we all get now after the freeze.
Another thing, it won't matter if wifi is turned on or off, the bug and wifi sharing process will still be there.
You will probably read around the net that several processes has to be frozen, but it really only is the "wifi sharing" one that needs to be frozen for the battery drain issue to go away.
What is the "wifi-sharing"?
Mine GS2 is a bit different from the OP's. Android OS occupied 45% while Display only 19%. And charging time is unusually long. Very long. I plugged my GS2 into PC at 9am with 30% left, and by the time I left work 6pm it only got up to 75% something. That's half a day charge.

Sorry, whats the freeze. I haven't heard this before ?
Thanks

I don't really know. But I haven't found a feature not working after the freeze. Even dlna sharing, hotspot etc.. Everything seems to be fine.
You can read more about the issue here:

Regarding the unusual long charge time, I haven't heard about that before. It takes my phone about 3 hours to fully charge.
I can recommend this application for monitoring if the phone really sleeps when left on the table and which processes uses your juice in general. It's history based and you will be able to figure out a lot of useful stuff with it.

I'm also have a similar problem, but mine was after one hour and an half of web surfing using dolphin HD and wifi... it was full, it's now about 25% remaining... Is it normal that the dolphin browser used 39% of the battery ? It's even more than the display... !
Ps: it's actually really hot on the back of the phone, on the top, just under camera... Normal ? ? ?

Well. When you have rooted your phone, you are able to do a lot of usefull stuff:
-Freeze processes
-Disable the camera shutter sound with a simple property/text file
-Make the middle home screen the real home (like htc sense) with a simple property/text file,
-Replace camera.apk and get higher quality sound in video, actually also higher video bitrate if you want that.
-Replace talk.apk and enable the upcoming google talk with video chat
-Install chainfire3d driver to be able to play tegra2 gpu based games
...and probably a lot more, but above is the only things I've done.
Freezing means : that you lock a process you don't want to run ever. You are also able to "un-freeze" if you decide to revert.
So:
1. you root your phone
2. you install titanium backup or other application that has the "freezing" ability.
3. open the freezing app, go to the process list, find "wifi sharing", press freeze, reboot
Problem solved, "wifi-sharing" will never run again.
You want to revert: Launch titanium, go to process list, find wifi sharing, unfreeze, reboot. Everything back to where you were before.

I really don't think anything matters as I can see you have the wifi-sharing bug.
You must understand, that it's everybody with the current firmware that has this bug. You must either wait or root and freeze.
Sucking up your battery in a couple of hours and making the cpu run at full speed which makes the phone get hot is exactly what this wifi-sharing bug does.
There is absolutely no way you can change anything in the settings or say, not run dolphin browser to fix this problem. You simply have to freeze the process or wait for samsung to fix it. As long as the wifi-sharing process enters your battery usage list you have the firmware that has the problem (and it's more than one) and your doomed until you freeze or upgrade to a future firmware where the bug may be officially fixed.
Just another "wifi-sharing" discussion link:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16721
Alright then, it's just that it doesn't seem me to be that much of the battery (~20%...)
I did just freeze that process and will see once my phone is fully charged... Thanks.

isnt this pretty normal looking battery drain? most people on this forum are getting about 4 hours screen-on time, sometimes 4.5 hours. yours seems to have the screen on about 4 hours from your graph picture. isnt this normal? if it was all gaming usage it definitely would be normal...
@OP, You mind to mention the Screen On time please?

oh, was that a constructive comment?
I'm used to getting about 1% an hour from my battery, drains a bit more when I use it heavily obviously.
But suddenly a few days ago, literally it was fine one day and rubbish the next, it started draining very fast, a few % every 30mins.
On Friday after unplugging it for work and the battery was still draining fast, I decided to let it completely drain out and then charge it back up while it was off and see what happened. It was unplugged for 32mins and already on 96% which is not what I'm used to.
I'm not one of those people that are constantly fiddling with their phone installing this, that and the other. I've not installed a new app for months and months.
My usage hasn't changed either, occasional Facebook if I'm not at my main computer, playing solitaire on my break at work, other than that it's mostly email. But I took a few days off work this week so if anything I used it a lot, lot less than usual.
I didn't want to have to but I took my pictures off, noted my numbers down just in case and did a factory reset. Added my apps back on and disabled unnecessary things. While I was sleeping it's gone from 56% to 2% in 9.5 hours!
I need this phone for work tomorrow, can anyone help me please!?

Surely all the Samsung rubbish that's on there will add to the drain? I know it did when I first got the phone last year, I googled around seeing what to disable and it's worked perfect for almost a year now.

Stock drain is not a problem as you post .

Zero its an app draining .
One its the battery .
Two its the firmware .
Three its the hardware .
The stock rom and apps is not going to show that sort of drain .

The only apps I had on there was Facebook, Twitter, eBay, T-Mobile, PayPal, Solitaire, Bejewelled and the National Rail app for train times.
Those had all been on there for months though I hadn't added anything new for a very long time so could it still be an app?
Battery I only had a problem with when I got the phone it just didn't have a very long life which I gathered was a very common problem but I fixed it. I haven't dropped it or taken it out or anything.
When I found I could update to 4.3 I waited a while first but I did eventually update but this was a few weeks ago it's been as normal until this week so unless something has changed in 4.3 I don't think it's that.
Still charging at the moment, nearly halfway.
Right, green light meaning fully charged. I'm about to unplug, switch on and factory reset. What are my next steps?

Media server is your media files .
Boot animation is the animation at boot .
My suggestion would be to download battery calibration app from play . Charge battery to 100% and wipe battery stats .
This will only reset / clear the stats as yours seem a bit odd .
Follow that with Better Batters Stats and run that for a day looking for wakelocks .
Run it for a whole day!? Can I download anything else as I'll need the phone to email/call/play games at work
EDIT: Do you have to pay for better battery stats because I'm not prepared to do that

I'm losing a few% every 30mins which isn't normal. Is BBS Better Battery Stats? If so, I'm not paying for an app
My phone isn't rooted either, it's as I received it, so I can't use some of these apps
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.

Install BetterBatteryStats (google for download link on xda) and look what's draining your phone.

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.

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.

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.
I'll start off with my zerolemon 7500mah which is killing it right now its all stock kernel conservative row setup just check out this thing man

I found the thread, only thing I put back was the option to keep WiFi on all the time not just when charging, I noticed later that it didn't matter, so I put it back as default.
Here is the thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2734356
I actually just finished going through it. I had done a large number of those tweaks, I did the same as you with the Keep WiFi on, didn't notice a difference when I toyed with that setting a while back. I did turn off hotword detection, so we'll see if that helps. I also saw someone mention the pedometer was draining theres. As I use the pedometer on my Gear, I didn't realize the device still had the pedometer running as well, so I disabled that. Can't think of too much else to mess with, but we'll see if those few small tweaks knock that Android System and OS drain down.

That's my assumption. I tried deleting everything and installing one by one to isolate that when I first got it to no avail. May have to try it again soon. Running the latest software update now, and gonna give my latest tweaks another day or so to see.

Wow thats amazing. This is probably where battery tech is headed in the next 10 years or so (I mean in a much smaller battery like the one that comes stock).
Okay here is the final stats
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi guys, anyone experiencing what I am saying in the title? A decrease in battery life after 2 weeks. Ar first it was amazing, I never had a phone with such SOT and usage time in general. And starting few days ago, battery depletes faster, lasting at maximum 24 hours or such. During first cycles I got easily 30 hours and 8 SOT. I dont have any new apps or so.
Do you know any possible reason? Did it happen to any of you?
Phone has memory leaks, it should be fixed in a future update, it also have laggy animations for me when using new gestures.
Thank you, most probably you are right..
No such issues with the first one I had. It must be an app. I use on screen navigation buttons, and Lawnchair launcher but, I dif not have batter issues with it.
I got around 8-10 SOT over 36 hours/.
I got exactly the same in the beginning. I cant figure out what is changed...for sure no app seems to be the culprit according to the battery status.. But it was my first thought..
I had my first handset (#gluegate) for just over 3 weeks and noticed the battery life was gradually getting slightly worse, although even when it was brand new I was only getting 14/15 hours of above average use.
Just before it got returned I was getting around 12/13 hours for the same usage.
I'll see how the new one performs.

I had my first handset (#gluegate) for just over 3 weeks and noticed the battery life was gradually getting slightly worse, although even when it was brand new I was only getting 14/15 hours of above average use.
Just before it got returned I was getting around 12/13 hours for the same usage.
I'll see how the new one performs.

So I might not be crazy after all...
If you likely updated the Google app on November 19th, that new version has been reported by somebody to have apparently increased the battery drain.
However it's hard to tell if this is the actual cause.
Personally I didn't update that app (knowing the possible problem) and currently don't suffer of any reduced battery life.

For sure I did that...well...waiting for a fix.
People are saying they get 30hrs from usage of 5 hours, I get about 20hrs of maybe 5 hours usage. Can't be without phone, stressed its no cheap phone.
May be can try clearing cache, i feel the same after 9.0.0.146 update. One member here advise me to clear the cache which i did, it seem like better now.

So my replacement handset that I've now had for a few weeks can comfortably get 14/15 hours of moderate to heavy usage and still have 20-30% battery left.
Very happy with the phone overall. No piece of technology will completely please everyone but I think the M20P is outstanding in so many ways.

How can we clear the cache?

Yes what cache are we clearing up? Is it the Google play services?
After I installed a 3.party launcher and used adb to uninstall the hisearch and default launcher battery time has been awesome. The device can handle 48 hours without charing and heavy usage. A ton of stuff syncing and 8+ hours of sot.

Uninstalling hisearch does not do anything to warranty as it is a system app right? Or does it do anything to functionality?

No, if you factory reset it will come back. I think you can actually disable it by ADB instead of fully uninstalling it, so if you wanted it back you could just re-enable it. If you uninstall you can only get it back by a factory reset unless you are rooted apparently. Just make sure you have another launcher installed before doing either.

Had this phone for about 1 month now and yesterday I got a whopping 12 hours of SOT with smart resolution and brightness set to auto around the halfway brightness point. Wifi and network were connected at all times and made a couple calls and about 3 hours Spotify, watched a ful movie, some YouTube and many hours of social media and browsing... Im blown away by the battery life.
I've had mine for 5 week's, had 9 hours SOT with 17 hours off charge, wifi, mobile data, location rotation auto brightness set automatically, watched 1 hour YouTube quite a lot of Fakebook. Still had 20% battery left.

I have found a higher drain if I sync google photos (so i turn this off and only turn it onto sync once a month) also my works emails can eat the battery more so I turn them off unless I need the latest ones.
Other than that have found the battery life very good!
