Well, not to start entire new thread about power consummation or heating issues but there are some real issues that we need to come together and figure out, so far my heating and battery drain originated from the Microsoft Exchange which can be diabled under Settings>General>Apps, I heard about this in another thread gave it a try and so far no overheating and better battery life, been off the charger for about an hour turned it on a few times and sitting at 99% which is better then 5 mins and down 5% from 100%. Anyone else have advise or fixes, problems lets start figuring out this issue.

Was wondering if anyone has had similar battery graph issues or knows what is happening. I've had my Galaxy SII for nearly 3 weeks and the battery has been fine, first on KE1 and currently on KE2, contract phone from O2.
Yesterday the battery graph jumped up twice during the day which I thought was strange but it was a one off. Then today I noticed it did it again but more worrying is the fact that around 8% of the total charge of the battery was lost almost instantly. (I would post a screenshot but need to get to 8 posts).
At this time I was watching video on the phone, if you imagine the two parts joined then this steep curve is what I normally get but does anyone know what is going on? Is my battery faulty or is the way the phone checks the battery level getting confused and altering its values?
Means it is not calibrated properly. There are tons of opinions on how to calibrate your battery. Personally I let the phone shut itself of and then charge till full while keeping it of till full. Works for me. Also keep in mind that your battery needs a couple of charge cycles before it works properly so don't worry to much.
Hi this is my first ever post so please bear with me, my lumia like many others suffers from ridiculous battery drain I have the new software and yes I can now charge to the max. However the battery cannot last the day out until I discovered this. Most people I know continually top up there battery, but if you just let it completely die then do a full charge overnight you may like me notice a massive increase in battery life, I have changed nothing about the way I use my phone the only difference is it now lasts 2 days easily.
The figures quoted in battery saver have not changed but as the day goes on the time since last charge goes up but so does the estimated battery life.
My phone is now IMO fantastic.
Maybe if you tried this it might work for you too, do hope so.
One word of caution when the phone has died the phone cannot be switched on until charger has been plugged in for some time, in my case about 20 minutes after plug in the phone switches itself on.
Please try and maybe you will also have the most amazing phone too.

I think I experienced something similar. I then flashed the new firmware and am back to lower battery life. Need to take the time for a few discharge cycles.
The problem with this approach is that some Lumia 800's cannot turn on after a full discharge. People have gone to great lengths to be able to get a tiny bit of charge so that it could power on. Some people have had to send them back for repair.
Question to TS. Do you let it completely die every time now or can you charge it whenever and still get the great battery life?
battery fix maybe
Hi after letting the phone die I have not done it again since, I just top up as needed or at night just as you would normally do.
Hope this helps.
Okey. When you say "completely let it die" do you mean letting it drain and turn off. Or do you start it once again after the first turning off and let it die again?
battery fix maybey
Just use the phone till it turns itself off, then plug in charger, this is when you may have to wait for the phone to switch on, mine turns itself on after about 20 minutes, charge as normal then use as normal, charging as you would normally do.
Good luck.
I did this once intentionally about two weeks ago. Did not notice any difference really. I do not have "bad" battery life to begin with. Not great either though. But it easily lasts a full day with heavy usage which is all I need really.
12 hours since last charge. 73% left on battery. I have used it "normally". About 10 quick calls. A few messages. Browsing on the marketplace installing a few apps editing contacts etc...
I'm pretty heavy on my usage, too. Lots of Mix Radio, sometimes played via bluetooth.
Since Sunday my Aria has started heating up weirdly. When charging and while using, there is tremendous heating in the area right behind the optical touchpad.
Also the battery is not charging properly and discharging quickly.
I first thought it may be a battery problem, but wanted some genuine views regarding this.
Will changing my battery remove this issue? Has anyone faced anything similar?
There will always be heat around the touchpad whenever you are charging while using it. Happens to me all the time at least. Unless your battery exceeded 45 degrees Celsius, then that's abnormal.
You can track your battery stats for example, heat with apps in Market.
You said it discharges awfully quickly. Mind telling me, how long does it take for it to discharge from 100% to below 10%?
Really quickly.
For example, I charged the phone whole night from a wall charger, while switched off.
In the morning, I turn on the phone, it shows me 19% battery. I rebooted: 8%. Rebooted again: 2%. This all happened in about 5 minutes after taking the phone off the charger.
The phone used the 2% battery for about 15 minutes on standby, with no internet, before dying.
Now it does not even turn on. The battery is definitely gone, since it has bulged a bit. But I want to be sure before buying a new battery, if the new battery will face the same fate or not.
For now, I have given the phone to my brother who will test the battery in his phone. Let's see.
There's definitely a problem with the battery. It is advised you do not charge a faulty battery. It may damage your device or worse, explode depending on what the fault may be.

New battery should fix the problem. There's no reason to suspect that the phone is causing the problem.
I have a battery reading issue on my Motorola RAZR. Whenever I use a ROM with one percent battery mod, two things happen:
a) It stops charging at 95-96 % (says "full") Not really an issue, if I leave it longer it eventually goes to 100.
b) Dramatic 10 percent(ish) drop. One second it'll be on 27% and then it'll drop to say, 19. It only does this once per charge, and I don't think it's ever at the same level when it does it.
Why does this happen? Is it common? Web search had no answers.
And please don't tell me to calibrate my battery. Not only is that a debunked myth, but I've tried it several times (through an app, and manually through recovery) and it hasn't worked.
Responses are appreciated
Anyone?

Strange battery readings are not unusual after flashing a new rom. I've seen sudden big drops. I've also seen increases in my battery percentage. Eventually after several charging/discharging cycles you should get more accurate battery readings and you shouldn't see such strange behavior.
Hello,
Originally I was running CleanROM 5.6 and felt like trying a new some. I decide to give SynergyROM r484 a chance, a while a few minor bugs bothered me, I really like the ROM. However, the battery is giving me some issues. Two nights ago after setting up r484 I let it charge overnight to 100%, when I got home the phone was at like 24% and eventually the battery went to 16%. It stayed at16% for a looooong time and then shut up. I tried charging the phone and after 4 hours it only charged to 20%. I shut it off and turned it on again after a 3 minute "break" and the battery was at 47% instead of previously at 20%. I drained the battery fully and then again charged it overnight fully to 100% while the phone was off. I was thinking maybe I fixed the issue, but right now I got home like 20 minutes ago and my battery life is decreasing at a "steady" pace but now it's stuck on 23% and has been for a little long time. I feel that my battery is probably around 15% in actuality. It seems upon installing SynergyROM r484, when the battery gets low... it doesn't display the correct percentage and I feel that's a huge issue. I'm also running leankernel 2.2 if that's an issue? I really would like to use this ROM, and while it's functional this battery issue is a serious problem and I'm thinking of flashing to CleanROM 6.0 for something more stable.
Does anyone else have this problem? I was hoping if anyone had any idea of a fix or something along those lines.
Thank you for reading,
Zealex.
