Hi
im hoping some1 can help me here.
the last couple of days im stuggling with very bad battery, i drains vary fast, like 30% in a few hours and not doing anything on it, today it even was in saver mode and still got drained fast.
im planning to do a factory reset, and got this problem.
i dont know if i can get all my backuped stuff back, since it says backup to a samsung account, and im using a gmail account,
after a backup
i reset to factroysettings and then i try to restore it from that account ?
mayby it sounds stupid, but i have never tryed this before, and rather ask one time too many then being sorry for loosing all.
regards

Hi I have bought vibrant from ebay and using it for about week now
and it has serious battery problem
first of all
right now i am using official updated 2.2
but even before updating there was battery problem so it;s not 2.2 for sure
so i downloaded app called battery minder which gives me % and how many minutes left on my phone
so here is the problem comes when i fully charge my phone
no wifi, no blue tooth, no gps, data turned on it shows i have about like 6 hrs
and when i turn my wifi on and when it;s connected it says i have 18 hrs or something
and when i just turn my bluetooth on without wifi it gives me like 1 more hr from 6 hr so about 7 or 8
and when i make my phone to airplane mode it gives me 22 hrs or something
and the minutes showing on there it;s pretty accruate
so is there way to fix it? and even if there is way to fix it airplane mode and 22hrs i think that's way too little
or is that supposed to be
i don;t know how other ppls battery is so that's why i am posting here
please please help me
i love the phone but battery is just not right
and my point of view right now i do not think it;s the battery because when i turn my bluetooth on it gives me more hrs...
so please help me
i think longest i used in one day is like 8-9 hrs
when i didn;t really do anything with my phone...
maybe i played with it for like 1 hr maximum...
that's maximum usually 6 hrs or 5...
please please help
oh and i tried pulling my battery out and everything...
factory reset...
one last question if it is the battery if i change my battery get it from ebay or something which one should i get if i get those cheap ebay batteries will it damage my phone?
please help thank you so much
If you don't use battery minder how long does the phone last with a full charge. Sorry but I can understand everything you said with the run on sentences.

In other words don't go by what that app is telling you. Also root tour phone and try a custom rom. They all have great battery life from my experiences.

before i updated my phone to 2.2 i had rooted phone with lag fix and i had horrible battery life that time too
even though i didn;t not had battery minder
it was draining really fast
You need to charge your phone completely will oyster off. After about 2 hours after its at 100% boot into cwm or recovery and flash a new rom like Bionix-V. It almost sounds like whoever you bought the phone from fiddled with it and so the battery stats are messed up.

Typo. I meant charge it while it is off.

to flash new rom don;t i have to root my phone?
is there way to do this thing without any rooting
because one click root does not work on official 2.2...
and i am kind of noob only been using the phone for week now
thank you so much
Nope, you need to root to flash. I'm pretty sure there is some way to root the 2.2 update, but I don't know for sure since the last time I rooted was two months ago on vanilla 2.1 I'd search the forums and if not, Google is also useful.

i tried google doesn;t really help even if i found it i am too noob to do things....
if i factory reset my phone will i go back to 2.1 or still stay on 2.2?
... is there anyway you can help easily... i am so worried...
i don't want to return the phone...
I know i am asking too much
if you have time is it possible for you to help me by msn or something
step by step?.....
will that take long time?
i wish i can be good at these things...
thanks anyway
maybe because y your app automatickly assume how long your battery life will last with given program widget ,but i dont think its possible for it lol i would wipe batt stats see what happend
is there easy way to wipe my batt stats?
ether in clockwork recovery or download sgs tools from market but using this make sure u know what you doin you mite brick your phone ! but should be simple if you read what you doin dont just cklick cause if u come back with bricked phone after i said that i will quit xda

Hello
Yes yes i know i'm a noob, and i'm hated.. and i hate myself :/ lol but right now I need help! I've searched EVERYWHERE and was unable to find the solution soo...
I got my Samsung Galasy S II GT-I900G about a month ago, I've been turning it off every night so that It can charge. Like a week ago for some reason I didnt and in the middle of the next day the RAM got to about 560MB/0.91GB and then after a while it got stuck while i was sending an SMS. I had to take the battery out and and turn it on for it to start working again. I'm not that much of a hardcore gamer or phone user. I dont know why my phone would do this. I have deleted all my apps and still the same problem so its definetly not a leaky app. It gets stuck and then i have to take the battery out !
My phone has 2.3.4 android version
If you need any other information, let me know and i'll post it... But PLEASE help me.
I'm desperate here
I hope you've told the mods to remove your duplicate post ?

Which ROM and Kernel are you using?
Android is like Linux, so low ram=wasted resources. High ram is natural. Likely it is your rom or kernel that is to blame. You could also do a factory reset to see if it fixes it. Also, if you hold the power button for 10 seconds, it is the same as a battery pull, so you don't need to take the back (or case if you have one) off.

Hi everyone,
first of all I did search forum, but havent find answer nor related thread, if I have missed it please sorry about it.
Got my SGS2 about 6-7 months ago. No issues, everything perfect. Got updated to 2.3.4 with KIES (not really fan of experimenting with phone that have price of above average monthly salary in Serbia).
Rooted device with ZergRush exploit since I wanted as close to mint backup in case I have to send it to service(dont ask, service here is pain in the butt), purchased Mobile Odin Pro (cheers to that Chainfire) and flashed Hellcat's kernel for 2.3.4 from Mobile Odin.
Everything was cool, CWM, made EFS backup with his tool too, and so on...
However, about 2 moths ago, I started experiencing random restarts of the phone. Did search, found out that it happens and actually dealt with it.
Now, recently, i switched off my phone in the evening (was on 20% and didnt wanted to leave it on charger, and didnt want it to die on me during night), and in the morning I havent been able to turn it on. Freaked out badly, only to realize that its battery was empty. Which was odd because I DID turned it off.
About few days ago, i switched the phone, and it went to full shut down, however managed to get stucked somewhere in process (LED's are on, did vibrate i think) but never shuts down itself.
After some time, when I picked it up since I saw LED's on, i realized that its very hot and that I cant switch it back on (presumably because it never got shuts down) and had to remove battery so that I can switch it back on. When I did, i found out that battery was about 15% drained in that 10 mins, and I dont know what he was computing while shutting down, but it burned the sh*t out of itself.
Tonight it did that again so I decided to ask first before I do factory reset/wipe everything (maybe update to ICS too).
So, any idea, suggestion what to do is more than appreciated.
Cheers
Polite bump?
What is the actual problem .

Well assuming you have read original post, why the hell that happen, does it happen to anyone else, and how to avoid it?
this may help

Well, as I said, its not bootloop.
As I said, I shut down the phone, it starts shutting down, turn on leds, vibrate and stays turned on. After that battery drains quickly, and phone gets very hot.
When I get battery out, and back in it boots up without problems.
And I dont have any cooked rom, just Hellcats kernel for 2.3.4 stock rom.
you problem
Hi there,
Here's the best way to resolve this issue you have to re-flash a fresh new rom, meaning a full installation of the android os and here is how to do it,
First search google and download ODIN to ur computer or Pc.
Next search again google and type the following ( Sammobile.com ) and register and after that type the model number of your phone for example (i9100) in the site search bar and download rom that u need and thats it this should solve ur problem
Note : be sure to have 100% battery charged before doing the above and after installing ur new rom do a full wipe and enjoy,
I hope this was helpful,
Regards,
iMatrix
Yeah, thats probably that I will end up doing, luckily i have bought Titanium Backup so that I can backup all apps that I have and restore them after wiping everything.
I was wondering that somebody have any idea what might be going on.
Thanks for suggestions everyone.
before that try wiping cache and dalvik cache

This seems to happen quite a bit on gb roms.. definetely time to upgrade to ICS
Actually from what I have read about ICS 4.03, Im actually glad I didnt.
Releasing it in that state(e.g. battery issues again, 3rd party sms programs sends sms twice...) is bad for both G and Samsung imho...

I think I'll wait few more iterations just in case
Alright then. Description of my problem first I guess. I was not at home and running out of battery on my S2, but play store asked me to update some application so I agreed. After this I got the message that my phones internaly storage was running low, and keep in mind that I had near to no battery life (like 5%) and was not near any sort of charge point. I tried to access the applications page, to delete some apps that I never used and when I did my phone randomly and crazily got stuck and switched off. I'm assuming it somehow drained the 5% battery life I had left.
I got home thinking I could just switch on my phone and delete some applications that I wasn't using...that was 2 days ago...I can't even get past the samsung splash screen. It goes on a horrible boot loop and I've just about tried everything apart from hard resetting and I don't want to do that as I haven't backed my phone up recently...
If anyone knows any other methods, could you please please help? I would really appreciate it if I could keep my files and just enter my phone to delete a couple applications...which I'm assuming is the problem.
What have you tried? What firmware do you have? More info would be nice :thumbup:

yay for quick replies. I have tried cold booting, and soft resetting...I also went into recovery and cleared the cache partition to see if it would help and so far nothing... I have absolutely no idea what firmware I have and I have no idea how to check. I never tried to root my phone or install other roms.
OK so if you have no idea what firmware you was on don't reset Cuz if you was on 4.0.4 kiss good by to your phone. Was it ICS or jb? Do you know this? Pull battery out leave for a bit "5 mins" and try again. If that don't work and your not sure on firmware you need Odin to replace firmware yes data will be lost. Can you get to download mode?
hey guys, (sorry for my english) i had a very big problem with the time that mi phone is on, i dont know why it only stay on for 7 hours without use it. i did a factory reset, i wipe the cache partition, calibrate the baterry, change the battery, and nothing the problem still happening, i dont know what else do to make it work more. a month ago the phone work perfecly for more than 14 hours, i dont know what change. another thing that was strange is that the screen is warm (i also try to be without SD card and that dont work).
Any suggestion?
did you fixed the problem?
