Galaxy S2 Battery Problems solved - Galaxy S II General

So i have gone through two days (and 1 night) with my samsung galaxy s2 android 2.3.2 by just freezing some programs with titanium plus.
This proves that most stuff is just bloatware eating away from my precious battery for no reason.
A few things on my phone consumption. I work 8 hrs a day in a place where my phone doesn't pick up my main phone company line (H3G) so for most of the time i'm on roaming and therefore not using 3G data so that does help but not by much really... I do however barely touch the phone (4-5 times to check if someone sms'd me in the morning and 1 call at midday + mail check and facebook for 10mins).
I also turn off data and wi-fi during the night.
When i get back home i leave wi-fi and skype always on from 18.00 to 24.00 and i've had the phone for 2 weeks or so therefore i'm using it a lot in those hours.
These are my results (with 14% battery left mind you):

So what apps did i freeze with titanium backup pro? Not that many tbh:

KIES air
Kies via WI-Fi
KOBO

Samsung Apps

I would also like to say that i DO NOT use juicedefender.
Hope this helps someone.

Your Awake and Screen On bar is very well synchronized, so you will get good battery backup.
I get same kind of backup I guess, but that's with JD Ultimate, hadn't freeze a single stuff so far, and what's your Display On time? That matters

Screen on time is 1Hour58minutes51Seconds

Oops, is it? Then you must have made more than 2 hours of Voice Call, right? And a lot of SMS?

15mins voice calls 13mins skypecalls 37mins music battery app says.

Hmm, mine is 5 hours, with just 15 mins of Call and none of the above.
Anyway, GN.

This stat is useless if you don't tell us your total uptime and what apps are draining your phone.

That is correct. Mine is around 2 days, and I will post a screen tomorrow.

40 Hours On A Single Charge

My EVO is rooted and running on the newest DC rom.
Background:
K-9 Push
Clock
Weather (3 hr refresh interval)
Battery Widget
Advanced Task Killer (Autokill level:Safe)
Foreground:
Youtube (20 mins use)
Phone (40 mins use)
Market (~10 mins use)
Camera, Gallery, Internet etc. (<20 mins)
Idle rest of the time
The most important tweak, imo, is the use of "startup cleaner" to remove startup apps which are not needed.

Thanks for the tips, I already have 3 extra batteries on order just incase this jazz doesn't work
I'm hearing great things about the DC ROM in terms of battery life. I'm getting horrible battery life on Fresh 1.0.1 but I think it's due to some of the Kernels I've been testing out.
Which one are you using specifically?!

I m on DC 3.2.3 and using "Equal performance/Battery" profile.
I'm afraid to update from DC 3.2 because I've gotten better battery life on this ROM than anything in the past. I easily get 24 hours before the battery goes. I'm just waiting for CM6.

Battery History is helpful [demonstration]

I only got about 5hrs barely using my device while at the rockets game last night. I noticed my screen was on 100% at times before and not sleeping. According to the reports.
So when I got home I opened my Battery History app [free from market] and found the root of the evil. Even tho I had Weatherbug not updating or any alerts, it still caused my fone never to sleep.
Uninstalled weather bug and my problems are over

That's actually very helpful.
if the screen is off, does that necessarily mean it's sleeping ?
(asking seriously, not snarky)
AND.. thanks for pointing out the additional functionality, functionality (anyone see short circuit ?? LOL)
I'm gonna wait a few hours and peek at mine and see what the culprit is
EDIT: this can also be found in Spare Parts for those that don't have that app yet.
Thanks a lot, that you found it useful. My mission is complete lol.
Correct, under normal conditons having the screen off puts the fone onto sleep mode. Kind of like a soft suspend.
But having a bugger of a program can keep your phone awake, with the screen off.
And you are right, those settings arein spare parts, which most of us have. As this function was ripped out

Google fit app on L is draining machine.

I highly recommend you guys to disable it if you want your battery to be better ?
How was your actual battery life with it on? I've been running Fit on my phone since the first Nexus 6 port was available. While it does hold a wakelock the hit to battery wasn't all that bad considering what the app does. I average maybe 30 minutes or less SOT time with the app turned on from 630 am to 1030 pm. I was impressed as I thought I'd be recharging shortly after lunch.
Will it still drain if I don't use it but have it installed. Somehow I see notifications on my moto 360 from fit.
Use Greenify Dude !!!

It working without notification in backgriund. I belive only solution , if You donĀ“t want to use it, is to freeze or uninstall this wih TiBu.
EDIT: looks like it is possible to disable Fit ( maybe ), under settings> Google Fit Data>and turn off Activity detection. I belive then it wont work ay more.
EDIT: nope...still working
Guys, it's not affecting battery. Don't constantly look for issues. I use Google Fit (cause I have a Moto 360) and it doesn't affect normal usage so therefore it's not an issue. If it WAS an issue it'd show in the battery graph and you'd kill your battery in a couple of hours - THAT would be an issue!

Yeah me too. I don't see any difference with or without Fit.

There is not going to be any noticable drain because the app is using the low power core. It's the same core that was supposed to give us always listening Google Now when the phone launched but Google gimped us because of patent bs.
Uh, maybe. I don't know. Maybe because we have pedometer sensor built in so its not draining battery..

decrease usage for Google play services

Hello everyone.
I have a irritating problem with battery drain. Google play services use a more than 50% of battery usage, I have to charge few 2 times a day while I'm using phone normally (sometimes browsing Internet, sometimes browsing Facebook, no using GPS) and the battery lasts maximum 6 hours from 100% to 10%.
I don't know how to decrease this usage to minimum. Uninstalling Google play services makes it better, but android without it is useless.

How it can be 50% for you? All the apps together is only 3% for me (hard gaming, mobile legends bb, minecraft, gta sa, real racing etc)

Disable location services or set it i.eLocation services to device only mode.....Thumbs up if it worked
Check that you don't have emojis on your whatsapp name. For me, it was causing some background sync errors and caused huge battery drain

I will check with my friend next time...that's extremely odd but intriguing bug!
My friend is on holiday with the phone for a week, I might have to resort to a factory reset. To be fair, it hasn't had a wipe since upgrading from Lollipop to MM so it is overdue one.
I just flashed to the newest rom and now it's OK.
I don't know what caused this usage but it was annoying. After flash and clear all storages everything is good now.

google play services drain

Today was the first day in the one week I've had my oneplus 6t that I've had high google play services battery drain. It is at 11%
Has anyone experienced this, and what could have caused this?
My battery life wasn't that good today
Yes, same here today only, never noticed before. I kept wondering if I installed some app or may be some beta app sign up.

Could be one of these several updates from Google too, may be Google app? I am beta too.
Getting it here too, 20% when other apps are like 2-3%s. It must be a service issue then.
+1. Not as high as you guys but it definitely higher than normal.

This happens with all phones, even the Pixels. Update all your apps then clear the google services data. Reboot and usage should be about normal now.
Are you sure? That would reset all accounts and other info.
I tried Files by Google to clean up system files and that seems to clear it for now.

I remember reading something about this last week. I have the newest app don't see any issues...yet.
This has started happening to me now, first couple of days it was fine then it kicked in. The battery stats say it's running when in active use for 2hrs 2 mins but my screen on time is only 1hr 50 so I'd don't really understand that?
I had high Google Play Services drain too (about 12%). Turning off wifi and bluetooth scanning in Settings -> Google -> Location -> Scanning. Also disabled "Improved Location" under Google Location Accuracy in that same Location page. It brought my standby drain from 2% an hour to 0.5%. Google Maps is still fast as ever at locking my location.
