After installing cm 13 (probably 1 month ago), my battery life started decreasing day by day..
i.e. suddenly falling from 14% to zero..
Than it increased to 20%...and than 40%
I tried calibrating my battery , still the results are same
Finally I went to service centre..after seeing my battery, he said..it isn't a hardware issue because whenever a battery damages it expands in its size..and mine seems to be normal..
So I installed carbon rom(KitKat) to check, whether it's a hardware issue or software ,after charging to 100..I didn't got any bump ..as I checked till 2%..
It gave me exactly 4hrs and 2 mins of SOT ..is it alright?
I m attaching a pic of stats..
My question is..- is it possibly a software issue or hardware?
Please help me out in sorting this issue
Thanks in advance
I am facing same issue.I suggest you to flash exodus ROM though it may not help you with this problem but you will get better battery you will get 5hrs 30 min to 6 hrs SOT with normal usage.
Whatever you stated exactly the same thing happened to me and I did the same what you did I.e installed the Carbon ROM.
Just slightly improvement but no luck.
You got full drainage without a bump. How lucky you're.
Finally I replaced my battery with the new one and all became normal.
I think it's probably the battery problem.

Vl check for few days, if the problem persists..I vl replace it!
Anyways ty
Before replacing I suggest you to try stock optimised. Carbon ROM drained a lot of my battery at idle state. Its better now with stock optimised version.,
I have also tried stock optimized, yes the drainage is not as carbon but the major problem is that bump in the drainage, so I am sure that the problem related to the battery.

Unfortunately , today ..when I rebooted at 40% charge ..after booting it was 7%
Definitely a hardware problem..so I m gonna replace mah battery ☺
Same issue with me will replace battery.
The service guy insisted me to not to change the battery..
According to him ..it's not a battery issue, it is something in internal circuit..
Because , he had already replaced more than 15 moto batteries all with the similar problem ..in last 2 months..
Out of which more than 5 came back within 2 days claiming that the problem still exist...
Is it possible so?
Luckily changing the battery worked for me.

On new battery facing similar issues. Yesterday charged full, came back after an hour to find out its 89% .. God knows what.

Hi All,
I am facing a wired scenario right now.
My phone works good however once it reaches around 75% battery or 25% battery it suddenly switches off stating battery zero.
When i try to restart, it doesnt start, however if i put it on charging even for two minutes it starts working and lets say it switched off on 75% so will still show me 75% and in one time on the battery charge graph i can see that battery went down from 75 to zero instantly.
My Device is 1 1/2 yrs old and by my signature you can understand that i have not been very kind with my device.
I was using tweaked stock rom i tried changing to few other roms also so doesn't looks like a software flaw to me.
When i checked with a local sony repair Shop they are asking me to submit it atleast for a day and then will inform me about the issue. I thought i would first check here to see if some things i could try.
Note : I did tried wiping the battery status 4-5 times.

My actual rom was a stock rom only i have just removed some apk's from it and tweaked hosts file.
Anyways i was using doomlord's tweaked SE kernel but you are right i will give it a day or two on stock ROM complete non rooted Stock.
Right now i am able to find some pattern behind the shutdown. Like right now if i keep phone on 2G its not causing the issue however switching to 3G causes the pain
. Anyways i need to replace backcover also so i am planing to purchase a battery and backcover from ebay.in costing me < 30USD (< 1500 Rs). (Official repair center is suggesting nearly 3-4 times the charge for replacing same parts.)
I've got this problem right now apart from mine does it from 85% the problem is the battery cells are separating as I was told in a similar question I posted up about the same Topic the battery is dying low load on phone keeps it ok but using 3g and WiFi and videos and that it eats up what's left in the few good cells then dies as I type now my battery was at 100% just took it off charge and now it has dropped 4% so far plan on getting a new battery for your phone also I've noticed that the battery has swelled up abit and the back cover doesn't fit properly aswell have you got that issue aswell?

Swelled up battery is an indication of bad and dying battery.. buy new and you r good to go...

Exactly what happened in my case.
I did some test's and was waiting for the results. so there is what happened.
i didn't noticed but the battery was a bit swollen. repalced with a new battery purchased on ebay and its giving me all the good times.
so if we face a issue where we see random shutdowns coupled with quick battery exhausiting then this is a job of dieing battery.
P.S. Sony center was selling battery at 2900 INR where is i got the battery from ebay @ 900 INR.
Well i think i also know the reason of my battery dieing on me. I was using my kindle fire charger to charge my battery which is double the capacity. which i think is the reason for the messup on battery.
Dont use different chargers, amp output is different.. Once in a while is fine but not regularly

Hi xda! So I've been having a problem for a couple of months with my SGSII and i have searched a lot but i haven't found a solution yet.
The problem is that battery behaves normally and has a normal drain rate, but when it reaches 40% more or less it drains massively and drops to 10 % (more or less, could be 11% or 9%. It is not something precise and accurate) and screen immediately starts to flicker, backlight as well, then the signal is lost and phone shuts down. After that i can not turn it on unless i charge it.
I have looked a lot and pretty much all of the forums recommended to buy a new battery. I bought another battery (original) and the problem still continued. I've also tried swapping batteries with a friend, but the problem still happened to me and not to him. Also I have tried a lot of Roms, I've tried going back to stock as well, but still nothing.
Currently I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 RC2 because it gives me the best battery life in those 60%.
I leave you an attachment of a screenshot. As you can see battery percent dropped a lot at the end, and i wasn't using it heavily.
Thank you in advance.
It is a hardware issue, I had the same problem (battery would drain below 10% though), sent it to Samsung, Motherboard and Charge Socket got replaced, I don't know which one was causing it because I had other issues like broken home button too.

May be there would be some hardware related problem. But why dont you give a try to to a wakelock detector app like betterbattery stats or wakelock detector? Atleast you will know which app is eating your battery or is it a hardware related problem.

I have tried a lot of battery related apps. BBS is one if them. I haven't seen anything unsual. In fact I've also tried apps like greenify. However battery life in the first 60% of battery is actually good. After 40% comes the problem.

Hello
I have a problem with battery drain, the best I get over night is 1%/hour. I have this problem for a couple of months now, did a lot of research on the internet and on this forum for a solution but couldn't find it anywhere.
I understand that this is a modem issue but I flashed a lot of different modems, XXEMG4, XXEGMK6, ... all modems that work with EFSv2, and the problem still remains.
I also tried a lot of different custom ROM's from everything that's around, sammy, cm, omni,... and nothing helps.
I see people on this forum who lose like 1% at night, have screen time of 6hours and battery running for almost 2 days and mine isn't even close to that. I get max 20 hours with 3-4hours screen time.
This is also not a battery related issue because I also tried buying a new battery (because I was thinking that mine was broken + with this kind of battery life I wasn't able to go somewhere in the evening without being affraid that my phone would die).
Could someone please help me with this and release me from this suffering.
The SGS3 is a great phone but this problem really bugs me..
Best regards,
AutomotiveD
sooo, noob. You think 3-4 hours and 20 hours is bad? and 1% an hour is bad? maybe you should just turn everything off! Also you forgot to mention what rom you are running, it looks like CM11 to me...
Oh and BTW, the people that get 6-7 on screen time and 2 days probably have a bigger battery. Because that is impossible with the stock size.
Im running archidroid 2.3.2 . Uhm I think your math skills are not so good, if someone has a 6000mAh battery the person will get approx 0.3%/hour battery drain and that's still 2,4% over 8 hours and not 0% like some people have (proof with screenshots)..

Hi All,
The battery on my Galaxy S3 is not charging fully even when on charge all night (it will get to about 70 - 75%) in 10 hours of charging.
During the day, when not on charge, the battery drops like a stone, as you can see in the below screenshots.
I think this started happening when I updated the Samsung firmware to 4.3, but can't be 100% sure. I have tried a tip I found about turning off email sync, but with no change.
Can anyone offer me any help with this?
Cheers

Well .. how old is your device?? coz a battery is not going to last forever .... may be it has lived up its life...
coz i have updated to Stock 4.3 firmware as well and my S3 is around 18months old ... but i am getting an average battery life ...
Thanks

It is about 18 months old. Could be the battery, but I would expect it to last a bit longer than this. It didn't slowly lose charge, it just started dropping very quickly one day.

May be then you can try some other Modified 4.3 Stock roms (like NeatRom, ArchiDroid's Rom etc.) to see what battery performance you get ...
And if you still have the same problem ... the only way to make sure is to buy a new one ...
Thanks
That's horrible. Did you perform a clean wipe after upgrading to 4.3? If you didn't, I suggest you to.
If your device is rooted i highly recommend you to get Boeffla Kernel and It's Boeffla Config application from Play Store and from the configuration app set the AC current to a higher number and enable ignore safety margin.

Faced this issue. Kept losing 10-15% per hour. Changed roms and still had this issue occasionally.
Problem was the battery. Changed it and no issues so far.
A lot of people use the phone for games, movies etc while charging and this shortens the life-span a lot.

Device: Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) T-mobile carrier- unlocked, Rooted ,Running stock rom with a Philz touch recovery
Problem occurred after about a week of purchasing a new battery since the old one got swelled... but i have two brand new batteries now both are not original but good quality (1 Year Warranty) With both batteries I had the Problem
Let me explain the problem :
______________________
Device would go off in at a certain battery level from 30%-50% (as for my experience):fingers-crossed:
To turn the device ON plugging in is compulsory... but then the battery would be Completely drained..
Also if you try to do a restart at a battery level which is closer to the sudden death the after re boot the battery will be at a extremely low level and wont rise...
I searched all of i can to find a cure to this because the last thing u expect in a situation is your phone dying?
Apparently the problem seems to be that the phone is reading the battery wrong? about a 40% so simple do a calibration Nope Nothing not even a change...
Here is what I tried
_________________
Calibration Methods - Apps and manualy
Reset the device
Let the battery chip reset
and all other methods
but finally i decided to reflash another stock rom :silly:
and I Downloaded This file I9100XWLSD_I9100XENLS1_XEN Since it was a Genuine Netherlands version but i decided not to go with T mobile this time:fingers-crossed:
I Wiped all the phone in Recovery then went to download mode and using Odin V1.85 I flashed the stock rom:fingers-crossed:
Turned it on using a Fully charged battery that i charged separately and i used it for some time max brightness max vol radio and gps wifi bluetooth etc. to drain the battery and at 38% phone started to flicker and turned off again:crying: (no Sim or Memory inserted no apps downloaded)
But i decided to go again i plugged it in ( never changed the batt) and let it charge for about 95% and turned all on again and this time i put on my simcard and memory and did all what i did except that i downloaded whats app and instagram. and also when it reached below 55% i Played some music and locked the phone (NO SCREEN LOCK USED) and after some time i checked batt was at 38% :fingers-crossed: immediately i locked it back and left it again....
Viola !!!!!!!:laugh: last time i checked it was 15% low batt warning came ( haven't seen it in weeks) and then the battery drop was a bit fast and at 12% the screen got a little flicker so i plugged it in.. I think the problem is halfway solved, ill let the battery go some cycles and update soon.. also i will attach some screen shots off the battery level too and take a close look at the time and battery level after 15% on the pics
:victory:
Here is the original thread i created

So yesterday I plugged the device until it reached about 85% and unplugged it when I was going to sleep, and at about 8 o'clock this morning i noticed that the battery level has risen to 96% , I think that is because the phone slowly gets to know the battery level correctly.. and right now it 11.08 am and I had turned on Mobile Hotspot and Data from 8 am , battery level is 82%.
I'll update again tonight when the battery drains completely

Can you also share the SoT ? I know it depends on how a person uses the phone but still I want to have an idea. I might also try this to have a better battery life. I also once tried that exact stock rom but without even charging completely, I went on to another ROM. So I am gonna give it another try today . :good:

Hello Eren ! Whats SoT? and you also have the same problem?
So... Now the problem is still there.....
Phone went off at 43% and also figured that there has been a near vertical drop of battery from 40 % to 12% and thats when the device was standby,
phone goes off only when im using it?
Can a Expert please look into this matter and help me please. looks like all what I did has been useless

I have the same problem. when I reboot my device in most of cases the battry level showed is a 10/30% lower than before and also my phone shuts off showing 10% percent or less and the sreen brightness goes a bit crazy for 2 secs before it shuts off. I have the original Samsung battery but I also bought the 2000mAh extended kit but now this issue happens in both of them I've read that I have to callibrate battery so I will try this and post results
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Fully Charge.
3. When getting 100% signal, unplug quickly.
4. Pull off the battery and put it anywhere.
5. Wait for 180 seconds exactly (be careful )
6. Meanwhile, take this opportunity to dust off the internal compartment.
7. Put back the battery on the right side.
8. Turn on the phone.
9. Pray the Battery god
10. ... and voilà !

I did it and my results were this. My phone shuts off at 5%, slightly less than other times. I rebooted it once while 80% percent and remained the same. Battery lasted 2h and 40 mins with medium/high usage
I would say it fixed something for me but not a lot. Now im going to try it with the 2000mAh samsung battery
Edit1: now after another full cycle the battery lasted for more or less 3 hours with medium usage and shutted off at 8% now im going to try on my 2000mAh battery that had an 8% and it shutted of normally with the shutting off screen and without weird screen brightness tweaks

Well I think it worked for you because you had a Original Samsung Battery Right?
In SL a Original batt would only come with the phone :crying: Fakes have invaded,,
So i read some where that fakes dont have the original capacity? so if it is then it would match perfectly !
so now im in hunt of a original hopefully this is not a phone problem
No its not definetly a phone problem and it isn't a big deal to find an original samsung battery for sgs2 however the Samsung 2000 mAh battery kit its waay harder to find and the ones that I found are more expensive than when it came out
Yeah, I definitely think the problem is with your battery, so you just need to replace it.
Btw guys, what is your general Screen on Time with your standard 1650mah battery (not extended)? I'm running CM13 and I barely get 2h on a single charge, but then I read reviews from the early days of S2 and for instance here they have 4h24 browsing time (with screen at 50% brightness) or 8h video playback.
Is it all related to being a different ROM, or my battery just needs a retirement? Being a different ROM would impact so much on the Screen on Time? Also, I have auto-brightness always enabled, would that have such a significant impact?
Greetings
EDIT: Since I generally use the phone indoors I don't think that would be the difference in such a different Screen on Time

With 1650 mAh and on CM13 nightlies, my best so far is 2h and 28 mins with brightness at between %0 and %25 and only wifi is on.
That 4 hour SoT is probably on gingerbread though.

Never used SGS2 on gingerbread but it is possible I think. I remember reading on forums that people started to get worse battery life with ICS and with JB it got even worse. So yeah probably possible.

Yeah, I definitely think the problem is with your battery, so you just need to replace it.
Btw guys, what is your general Screen on Time with your standard 1650mah battery (not extended)? I'm running CM13 and I barely get 2h on a single charge, but then I read reviews from the early days of S2 and for instance here they have 4h24 browsing time (with screen at 50% brightness) or 8h video playback.
Is it all related to being a different ROM, or my battery just needs a retirement? Being a different ROM would impact so much on the Screen on Time? Also, I have auto-brightness always enabled, would that have such a significant impact?
Greetings
EDIT: Since I generally use the phone indoors I don't think that would be the difference in such a different Screen on Time

Hi Bolshoi! I will definetly update the SOT on the stock rom after the new battery arrives! I asked one of my friends who is in Netherlands to buy and send me a batt. Regards!

No its not definetly a phone problem and it isn't a big deal to find an original samsung battery for sgs2 however the Samsung 2000 mAh battery kit its waay harder to find and the ones that I found are more expensive than when it came out

Im From Sri Lanka Achimakulo its so rare to find a Genuine Samsung battery for a older device like mine and even if i found one its either old or way too much priced
I think its because my device is so rare in this country
Is it fixed now??

battery level drop is natural? ?
