Happy new Year to everybody!!!
I'm having a strange battery drain issue with my phone...
Since I flash Darky's v7.6 I start having this problem-maximum 14 hours battery life without playing or using heavy apps
Before I get 26-30 hours in the same use
I flash 7.7 (both wipe and no-wipe) but problem stays.
Factory reset for sure 6 times until now.
Change kernel to Speedmode but the same
Battery calibration been done more than 10 times without result.
I flash v7.0 now and still having the same isue!!!
It's very annoying
Can anyone help me please?
Its the firmware JPY. Wait for a fix, go back older firmware or turn off wifi.

So you mean JPY is a battery killer?
Happy New Year!
I've had JPU, JPX and now JPY. Somewhere in between I had XWJPH which is the official 2.2 for my device (HKDCOS). The 2.2.1 firmwares have almost the same battery life as the official 2.2 while being much much faster. They all have more bat drain than my eclairs (JM2, JM9) but not dramaticaly. I can make 40-48 hours on 2.2.1 normal use, and I did 48-60 hours on eclair. I think it has to do with what apps you use. Do you have battery stats?

O.K. let's see...
Last night I let it charge untill the "100% charged notification" sounds.
Unplug charger,wait 30-40secs and plug it again.In order to be sure for maximum charge depentless battery icon.
I forgot to deactivate wi-fi(although I think energy consumption is the same) and 10hours later battery icon shows 93%.
Battery stats was almost zero,exept Wi-Fi On(99.9%) and Wi-Fi Running(99.9%)
I thought "desent amount of energy consumption" and then I only used the browser for 15'-20' and battery icon dropted from 93% to 88%!!!
2 days ago,I installed autokiller in order to switch off background apps-just in case that any of my installed apps consumes energy.No result at all....
[email protected] I'm running over JPY for over 2 weeks and had completly no prob at all-just as tsinc sais,I manage to get more than 24H in normal usage
Problem started since 7.6 Darky's been flashed
Then,I flashed 7.7 no-wipe,7.7 wipe,7.0,7.5 and still no problem solved...
And I get tired from continuesly tries of re-customize of my Galaxy
Samsung have changed the WiFi driver for the 2.2.1 Firmwares. As I was on the JPY I had this huge battery drain too. So I decide to take WiFi driver from JPA. They work but I have first to test if this really give me less power drain.

Όχι φίλε αλλά δεν πειράζει
I'm not using Wifi cause I have an "unlimited" (=3GB) data plan. Wifi drains a lot on 2.2.1. I think "hardcore" or somebody started a thread about it.
I'm also tired of flashing and resetting.... Any news about 2.3 ?
I did flash the jpa wifi drivers dosnt seem to affect drqin too much...

I`m using Darky`s 7.5 and the phone has been unppluged 51 hours ago and i still have 38% of battery, although the battery i got with the new SGS i recieved from orange is way better than my other SGS, it last for 4 days with modderate usage, and it should get better as it is new and it has to get a few charging cicles to increase battery life a little bit more. The usage is the same as it was on my other SGS, music, movies, internet, mail, messenger, calls etc.
I`m using Darky`s 7.5 and the phone has been unppluged 51 hours ago and i still have 38% of battery,
Much the same for me on that version but later versions enormousness battery drain . Different rom battery drain about normal .All JPY .
jje
I have it too on JPY now. Strange thing is that everything was good for like a week after flashing, but then suddenly battary started to loose charge like a madman. Dunno, may be it's a Skype that i have installed recently, but i dont launch it and the drain is still there.
I've been looking at youre battery stats and it said its been 26 hours since last unplugged I still have 20% battery left, it also says the the phone wasnt sleeping fot 11 hours out of the 26. What could cause this?(the screen was one for like 1/2 tops

When you flash a new firmware, do you flash wid a full battery charge?.....that makes a difference cos the os considers that battery level to be the Max level at that time.... .. i read bout this in lestats dev page....cheers!

today i had to flash my phone again and i was in a hurry so i flashed it without charging to 100%....will it make any difference??
and i came across this app for this purpose...

but i am confused......anyone??
It may have to do with cpu scaling also.I installed cpu master and saw that the cpu is always on 667mhz and not down-scaling when not in use

Well can u plz tell me from where i got the official release of GB.2.3.4..........its really make my head out.....coz my battery drain into maximun 20 or less then that hours without much using
Hi Guys,
im interested to see what ROMs give you best battery life.
Currently Im on Tweaky Final JVP 2.3.4 and guess what, after Criskelo GB v58 I get even more than 2 days of medium usage.
I've been running my phone for 3 days, 23 hours, 15 minutes and still have 5% battery. Seems like FAKE, but ITS NOT! HAVE screenshots of that, and if you still dont believe i can make a camera photo of my phone usage.
Screen on:28%
Voice calls: 22%
Network: 17%
Android OS: 16%
Standby: 6%
i think thats the best ROM in terms of battery life.
Anyone using it?
Android OS: 16%？？？？？
why？
Well I dont know why, but does it really matter? There are 2 processes of Android OS: one is 16%, the other one 5%.

I think you wanted to say Android System. Usually that one has higher consumption, while the Android OS stays at approx. 5% (I get 3% almost all the time). So actually you have two processes named: Android System and Android OS
Anyway, your battery life is good, but I wouldn't say it's brilliant. I looked to your battery stats and it seems that you didn't really used your phone.
But all that matters is you, being happy with your phone
Cheers!
Thanks for explanations!
Do you know any rom that could be even better than that? If yes, it would be very nice of you telling me (us)

I had best battery results with stock JVP Odin ROM. The deodexed version is good too. Add a RAM management script (Juwe's or Darky's) and you will make it even better.
However is not very convenient to loose the advantages of a custom ROM for one more hour (or so) of effective battery usage.
I also had the best battery on deodexed but otherwise stock JVP with voodoo kernel and ext4 filesystem as it uses less CPU than RFS.

after installing this "Tweaky ROM Final JVP No Wipe.zip", Very often my phone was restarting, hanging, Force Closing. Is there any solution for this or Should i switch back to Darky's Rom.
But one good thing is, Battery Backup. It was good. For 1 hour, 1% of battery was consuming in Idle time(When i am not using).
Please Suggest me.
Thanks & Regards,

hey guys,
Can any of you suggest a rom that has fantastic battery life but doesn't involve any changes in stock UI?
I want to keep all stock themes and UI.
I don't need any of GS2 apps or themes or TW4.
I just want battery life to be longer in stock 2.3.4.
Any suggestions?
If you have an old SIM card, get it replaced. Mine was 12 years old and I swapped in a new one today, not sure how much is gonna change, yet I suppose it will solve all my short battery runtime issues.
Hey guys, I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 (over 2 months ago)
At first it was really good with battery life, lasting over a day with medium use.
It started to get really bad, draining down from 100% to 50~ over night with no use at all.
I searched the problem and came across these forums, which said 2.3.3 was a problem sometimes.
Now this is also my first android phone, so I'm not sure exactly how to do all the tinkering around with it. Long story short, I found that changing to 2.3.4 helped a lot. It did, for 2 days, now I'm getting the same problem again. Maybe I didn't do it right? Need help! (also this forum is huge, not sure if I'm in the right spot)
Have you tried flashing a custom ROM and kernel? Pick out a ROM that you like and then install a nice kernel like Speedmod. Lite'Ning ROM v6.1 and Speedmod T39 together really increased my battery life.
Is there like a "how to" section on this site somewhere?
As I said, this is my first Android phone, so I'm a little lost as to how it all works

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND LEAVE ODIN AS DEFAULT. DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE DURING UPDATE OR YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE. YOU ALSO NEED SAMSUNG KES INSTALLED FOR USB DRIVES CLOSE KIES WHEN USING ODIN
Thanks for the help guys.
I "think" I rooted my phone and got a version of 2.3.5, which is also supposed to be better on the battery?
just download 'start up manager' from the market, disable useless stuff that is not need ed, I get more then, a day now worth normal use.

Or also get titanium backup, and freeze all the useless crap on the phone that you dont use. I did that and it went from 7% every hour (despite the fact that there were no wakelocks) down to 0.5% every hour
EDIT- on standby/very little use, that is.
Also after you flash charge your battery to 100percent and calibrate your battery there is a good free app in the market

Well if you're using its smart phone capabilities it will really drain quickly. Specially when on data. What I did was to get an extra variety and an external battery charger-best investment for this phone ever.

You can also see what drained your battery by going into battery usage: Menu - settings - about phone - battery usage. or create the shortcut on your desktop.
download betterbatterystats to check what processes are burning your battery and stuff. helped me a lot, this app.
Given that you are getting decent performance for a bit, which then drops off, I'd say it was far less likely that the cause was the hardware or the ROM and far more likely that it is something you are doing with the configuration or software.
Try removing any widgets you have added - does that improve battery life? If so, add them back one at a time until you find the culprit. Also, make sure you are not signed into stuff like Latitude - that is an absolute battery killer.
You have seen that you can get decent life from the battery, now you just need to work out what affects that.
It was the 2.3.4 OS draining the battery. I wouldn't touch my phone, and in 8 hours it went from 100% to 20%, with the status saying Android OS 100% in battery usage.
Now I'm on 2.3.5, battery is at 95% after 4 hours.
I'll give it a few days, and see exactly how it goes and if there is a substantial difference in battery life in relation to use.
I almost had the same problem with the battery but i flashed omega rom and so far i have no problems! I always have wifi on when i am at home and 3g when i am not at home and the phone can run up to 2 days!
Have you tried doing a basic search and looking at one of the 100's of other threads crapping on about battery life?

galaxy s2 i9100 Battery Problem!
I am using Samsung Galaxy s2 for a while and I am facing an extremely low Battery Back up. Around 9-10 hrs to the max. I got the battery changed from the Samsung service center and have tried changing alot of different firmwares.
KE4 -> KE7 -> KF3 -> KH3 -> KI3 -> Simple and clean 1.2 KI4.
Nothing works.
I am attaching my "Battery Usage" images along. Please find a solution for me. Thank you.
Calibrate your battery, but you must have root access. When you have root than load the calibrate app.
i am quite heavy users on my sgs2 at first i had battery problem lasting only 5 - 7 hours... i got juice defenders free version from market and well it didnt boost my battery life to 48+ but it did made me last 1 and half day
New battery stats!!
Alright I experimented with the battery to check whether there is a problem with my battery or my firmware/kernel.
I tried the same battery on 2 different Galaxy s2. Battery stats below :
DEVICE 1:
Firmware : Stock KF3 Rooted
Kernel : Stock KF3
Battery Usage : 14hrs
Display : 45mins
Voice Calls : 1hr50mins
Battery remaining: 50%
DEVICE 2:
Firmware : Simple & Clean v1.2
Kernel : SpeedMod k2-18 test3
Battery Usage : 12hrs
Display : 45mins
Voice Calls : 2hrs
Battery remaining: 19%
Now in the above case I have used the same 1650maH battery in 2 different handsets. So why so much difference in battery life on an almost similar usage when I also made sure that the Brightness levels of both the phones also remain same.
Please help me out on this.
