hello everyone,
i have a galaxy s3 i9300 with android 4.3 installed.i noticed that the battery suddenly drains faster than before.i bought a new original battery and the phone was fine for a while and than the drainage began again.i replaced it with a another new one and that didn't help either.i would appreciate your help.going half crazy.i did not notice some app that woud cause the drain.suggestions??
@zoro863: means 'original battery' from Samsung? Amazon fe offers many of these, all called and look original, for ~15€, but they are badder.
it is an original one i bought from a respected shop
@zoro863: there's written very much about battery-items. To decide, if your drain is caused by hard- or software, I advice to flash NCSROM (hardly debloated actual firmware, which I always use as reference): use it with governor zzmoove /battery plus whithout any apps added, for 2d. Expect SOT~6h. If less, it's hardware caused.

Hello all,
I have a question for you all:
I have flashed a new rom today and have decided to NOT activate Google Now, and (after a few hours only), I seem to see a much better battery use?
Is it possible that this app, being monitoring so much all the time hoggs the battery quite a lot?
So, placebo effect or not?
Certainly possible I suppose, but I haven't noticed it drawing a significant amount of juice on my S3 or my Note 2.
I've had Now running in the background on my Note 2 for over 9 hours and the battery is still at 92% (minimal usage, just on WiFi), and while I'm getting tired of being notified about the ManU match, it doesn't seem to be drawing an inordinate about of power to run.
Is the new ROM you flashed using a different kernel or a newer revision of your previous kernel? In my experience, that's been the biggest factor in terms of power consumption.

Well, I am using temasek's CM10 Kang (70 I believe, latest anyway)
and with the kernel that came with it.
I ve tried other AOSP kernel, but no boot at all, so...
What I think is that XXDLIB modem does has a noticeable effect on good reception over here, so maybe that s the factor here?
Dear Community, I got a huge problem regarding battery drain.
My Android System soaks a huge amount of battery, even so much, that my phone is using more energy than the charger provides.
This happens on XperianZe 0.9.8 ROM (with stock kernel) as well as the new stock ROM (XXEMC2) and I got no clue what I may actually do?
Any suggestions?
//edit:
Elixir2 shows that com.sec.android.providers.downloads (15,74% CPU usage) and security providers (com.android.providers.security, android, com.google.android.backup and com.android.providers.settings) (26,75% CPU) seem to be the main problems.
Play store is using 5% and the other processes are between 0 and ~2-3 percent....
//edit2:
Even if I stop these two the phone itself is charging quite slowly and if I start Ingress it slowly discharges...
Thanks in advance,

Try a different kernel with that ROM...let us know...
The problem itself still remains, I did also do a clean install of XperianZe 0.9.8 again (this time with Boeffla kernel instead of stock one).
And Elixir still shows the same processes as cpu usage hungry, but in difference from the stock kernel the phone charges while running Ingress, if I end these two processes.
But why do these 2 need so much CPU power?
Has anybody got an idea how to fix this malfunction?
I found out, what it actually has been...
The original cable seems to be defective, another cable works just fine.
Hello there,
I don't know if I should be asking this here as I'm new to the XDA Forums.
Basically I am an owner of a Galaxy S2 and I've recently downgraded from 4.1.2 Jellybean to 2.3.4 Gingerbread.
I've noticed a massive increase in battery life, my usage has been about the same, if not probably more and it's holding out longer.
What I'm asking is, is the older versions of android better for battery life?
Many thanks
Kieran
Generally older versions of Android contain less functionality / less services so they are using less resources of the phone and so the battery lasts longer ...
Self explanatory really, I much prefer having stock android on my s3 but the battery is much worse compared to roms running on a Samsung base.
I would like to know if this happens to everyone and the reason behind it since I've read the "nexus edition" S4 actually has better battery results than the Samsung variant.
Many thanks

Samsung includes a lot of battery saving technology in their roms but it is closed source so developers cannot access it.
I run a custom Samsung ROM and an AOSP - battery isn't noticeably different. I also use Greenify and I turn off auto brightness (run it about 50%) & blocki9ng mode. Overnight I see my battery drop by between 3% & 5%. 15 hours of normal use sees maybe 30 - 45% battery depending on how much game versus phone/SMS.
Best battery so far is 54 hours and at 28% - I was in Melbourne via train and forgot my charger. I know it is the TYPE of use that matters but I was making/receiving calls and spent about 45 mins as hotspot to the wife's laptop.
I run GoogyMax, v6.1 Purelook HD ROM and SlimBean ROM v 7. Haven't found anything not working, haven't got FC's.
Both ROM's installed on full wipe.
My little sister has been using SGS2 (GT-I9100) For about 1,5 years now after I got myself an S5 so the phone is couple years old. Yesterday the phone started holding battery very poorly (see image below). I tried another batterry, factory resetting and dusting internals, no change. The phone seems to overheat at the left edge the most. Any tips?

You should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/app-fuelgaugetool-v2-0-t2262990 the phone must be rooted (if you need help with that MP me) then flash a custom rom , I recommend Revolution Rom as it is stock based great battery life, good performance, and its like an updated touchwiz version so it will look better

edit : How old its the battery ??
