Hello. How much do you know about android? Do you know what Android Recovery is?
There's a chance your phone has a non-standard kernel, but if this is a hardware issue, there probably nothing that can be done.

there isnt any modification done o this cel , every thing is custom ...
today i updated it so dat it might solve the problem, bt it dint...
the phone gets , realy hot n batery drains away... really pissed off now !
shud i try new battery ??? or it certainly is cel phone problem n dsnt seem to resolve by changing batery ?????
If the battery gets drained fast AND the phone gets hot, then it's almost certainly not the battery. Most likely it's some runaway process or service, or some other software issue.
check the battery usage and see what app is draining more battery, maybe not the screen.

Dear XDA-devs,
I have some problems with my galaxy S2, the major one is the battery lifetime.
When using the device, it drains superfast. I can not use the device for even 6 hours.
Because I can't afford to buy a new device I am looking for an solution.
I thought that it's a software problem and flashed supernexus rom but the drain is still there.
The overcharging ( 0% to 100% then taking battery out, turning off device and charging again) had no effect.
Battery drain (from marketplace) logs changes of battery status.
The log attached is a disaster.
So my question to you: How to track and solve the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
I think its the kernel problem. Keep ur phone clean from unwanted apps which run in background, stop unwanted services such as wifi, lower the brightness, keep ur phone uc/uv as much as possible, try to be on stock rom as much as possible, increase the screen timeout and clean the battery. Thats all i can recommend

I dont understand the language in the attached pic, so thats not much help. All I can suggest are the usual suspects for battery drain.
Install CPU spy to check the various states in which the phone runs. Is it going into deep sleep like it should? If its not, thats your problem right there
Another thing to do is install Better Battery Stats (search the forum for the thread) and use that to check for unnecessary wakelocks. Additionally, I don't think what you mentioned (overcharging) is a way of calibrating your battery..although I could be wrong there.Instead you can use any battery calibration app, or if on siyah or dorimanx kernel, use the 'reset fuel guage chip' option in ExTweaks. else there are threads about calibrating your battery without the use of an app.
Or if none of the above works, you probably just need a new battery. Definitely not a new phone

Dear Alex,
have a look here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
It is BetterBatteryStats app thread.
BBS app is very useful to examine the battery stats and find wakelocks (prevent the phone from entering into deepsleep state) and alarms (activate the phone when in deepsleep state).
You can examine the BBS log yourself or just post your log and stat files to this thread to be checked by the "experts".
Good luck !
re
Hi HAXTREME,
thank your for the reply, the app shows the time when the battery decreases by 1%.
As you can see it loses 10% in some minutes ..
I will install the app the other poster mentioned and post results here..
thank you both.
// edit
although the wakesleeps could be a problem I would like to know why I can't use the phone permanently for some hours ..
as I remember this was possible when I bought it
Stats after tracking
Hello guys,
I have tracked the battery stats during 2 days now and it would be great if you could take a look.
Do you see something suspecious?
Do you need more information I can provide?
Regards,
Alex

At the very top of your dump file you attached, it says:
Statistic Type: (3) Since Unplugged
Since 1 h 3 m 55 s
You need to let it run for longer than this after unplugging. BBS will reset stats and start a new dump file when you unplug the phone.

Hello all
I am using Mega 5.8 for 15 days now, everything is great. . Battery too is fine works for the whole day and some more but I find it strange that after reaching 20% the battery dies within minutes and phone shuts down. I thought that might be due to new battery but after 10+ recharge cycles this behavior have not changed.
Can anyone confirm that its a common thing with Mega 5.8 or there's some issue with my device.
Also while we are at it any idea when we might get 4.3 update for Mega?
Thankd

If you have root you can use Battery calibration app from the Play store.

Thanks for the heads up gx3k , but just to clarify i am not new to rooting . Have galaxy S2 which is full blown modified .
I downloaded battery calib app and deleted stats like 10 times...tried to manually delete the stats bin folder....but nothing has worked . I feel the culprit is the rom .
Haven't rooted the phone but don't believe this to be a calibration issue.
May be its firmware but how to confirm unless we get an update.
Sent from my GT-I9152 using xda app-developers app
Same problem with me
Just try this . One you are in middle of your discharge like around 50% just remove the battery for 20 secs and put it back . You will see in battery you have already lost 10-12% of battery . I think this is the case of either wrong battery reporting or bad batteries. Just have to wait for a custom rom to cross check this .
GalaxyMega 5.8 battery life
Same thing here. Already tried calibration. Didn't help.
Was charging it. Removed it from the charger at 60%, I removed the battery and put it back in. The battery % then showed 74%.

Yes definitely there is a problem. Battery was at 31% then I removed battery and put it back. It dropped to 8%. had to connect it to charger.....
Have anybody tried the latest firmware for October if the battery issue is solved?
i've updated my galaxy mega 5.8 duos to latest firmware,still not fixed.. :crying:

Very few users complain about this, maybe because there are only a few of us or it is not an issue as very seldom users remove the battery?
As for me when the level goes between 20-30% which is usually on the 3rd day I recharge the battery.

Dude Battery callibration could help you .. same condition was wid me .. i callibrated n now my battery is MEGA now
1.Root ur fone
2.drain your battery to zero
3.short all your battery terminals to make sure your battery is totally dead..
4.then charge your battery to 100%
5.n press CALLIBRATE from ur callibration software.
i will like to tell you that some processes drain ur battery very rapidly ,, i removed some apps n processes and now battery lasts,
so i will advise u too flash ur fone completly takin ur data backedUp..

Whatever you do "DO NOT SHORT YOUR BATTERY TERMINALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE" That's a fire hazard. Lithium Ion batteries can generate massive heat very quickly and have been known to explode on occasions.
Practise good battery management by charging your battery whenever possible and keep it on charge for as long as you can. This will condition it to give maximum performance.
Remember you can't get a battery to give any more power than it has from the charge you give it.
Calibration does nothing to the battery it only allows the software to monitor more accurately.
Lithium Ion batteries should never be allowed to discharge below a preset level as they will then die and will not charge again
lol im about to create a thread about this issue, i thought its only me who experienced this issue,, i've encounter this problem as well,, everytime the battery reach the 15% or the low battery warning, it drains very fast from 15 to 1% it just like about 2 minutes then my phone shuts off due to very low battery level
oh yea,, try the *#0228# it shows the real battery %. in my experience,, from 40% battery suddenly drop to 18%. btw for the calibration apps from the playstore, it just delete your batterystats.bin which have no benefit at all. anyone who encounter this problem please share your experience
I installed Battery Notifier and adjusted the low battery alarm at 25% . It is just a workaround but it serves the purpose.

okay our issue is NOT about BATTERY LIFE, but about BATTERY PERCENTAGE,, DUDE.
in this review the reviewer encounter the same issue like us
"A couple of times we experienced a sharp dip in battery life when the levels went below 20 percent"

Hardware or software I don't really know.
As I use the mega 5.8 as my daily phone I see to it that I dont go below 20%. And evry other day or a maximum of 3 days I always recharge my phone. Perhaps other users have a similar routine so very few if any, complain about the issue on this thread.

i've try calibrating the battery, no differrnce at all. oh man , i wish samsung realized this issue
Hi, can someone please help me? My phone's battery draining too fast after i accidentally dropped my phone, my battery drains from 100% to 16% in just about 1 hour 30 minutes! i have tried many phone calibration steps and all doesn't work, before i drop my phone, my battery can last 1 ~ 2 days if doesn't use it. but now my phone just last about 2 hours!!! :crying::crying::crying:
Can someone please help me? I really need help. :crying:
Who can help me? Please my phone really need to be fixed, thanks
Sounds honestly like either the media scanner bug on steroids or perhaps the battery has had it. Have you tried factory reset by chance?

I Also have some problems with the battery drain. I have to charge it every night. Its drain from 100 % to 50 % On 8 hours.Sometimes its better and sometimes is this. I guess its an app in the background how drains the battery.
Since last Friday, 26 February, the phone heats up when surfing the Internet. Charge loss is 25-30% per hour. Sony Xperia Z5 Dual.
