Hi, my s2 is using villainrom 1.4 as an attempt to improve battery life. At the moment i am on 50% battery after 4 hours and a bit with screen on time at 2 hours. Even with moderate usage i hav never gotten over 12 hours...
Could someone give me tips how to get my battery to at least a day, desperate for help. I have auto sync off and use a mixture of wiki and 3g.
I will post the screenshots of battery later as i dont have enough posts yet.
Thanks

What apps u have installed?
Go to the built in battery monitor and check for wakelocks (when the screen is off, but the device is awake)

as what BSAKSOUK said, what apps do you have installed?
Try to uninstall all apps you have installed and see if you get some improvements, then install one, test again.
I found that NetCounter kicked in on my SGII and the phone never went to sleep, just screen off but it was awake and drained the battery in 12h
//Mike
I will try and post the sreenshots soon. It seems that awake and screen on is largely related. I may have to factory reset and see how the battery fairs then.
I did a *#1234# and saw my csc is unknown? Do u think there is somethin wrong with my modem? It seem when wifi is on it always drains the battery alot faster.
Ia there any app to monitor how much drain apps cause? Thanks guys

Deactivating data mode? Ive read about some people having wifi issues causing battery drain.

since you say you had the screen on for 2 hours, your battery seems correct. other people on this forum are claiming they get 4 hours of screen on time from a full charge. so if you had 2 hours and 50%, that seems right in line with proper results.
Guys, I just updated my note to official LPY with root. The installation was smooth, also reinstalled all my apps.
It's the same set of apps I used and I had been careful in disabling the background sync.
Woke up at 9am fully charged, then completely dry at 5pm, not even intensive use.
Anyone else see yhe same problem?

join this discussion, you are not the only one^^
i am on official with cf root kernel and been on for 13 hours with 11% used. superb battery life for me
LPY with CF rooted kernel, 3h of voice call, wifi always on, auto mail check every hour (3 accounts), ebook/comics reading.
1 day and 9 hours on battery and still have 31% left. Not bad for me, round 2% per hour.
Surprisingly that airplane mode -> turn off phone -> pull battery -> turn on phone -> disable airplane mode trick worked for me. Also the pull battery part was essential for no idea what reason.
Now after almost 4 hours intensive use I still have 70%, kinda meets my expectations now.

This is one thing everyone should try...the other thing is (as always): Use the ROM for a week or so! Load and reload it a few times (100% - ~5%)...the battery has to "settle" every and each time you flash a new rom.
mine seems fine. been sitting next to me for the last 4 hours and so far it has lost about 3%
I am also having a horrific battery life. It was much better with both stunner and cm9. I am trying to go back but not sure how to. Dont want to flash anything and brick my phone.

In my hands, the airplane mode trick works, but toggling the energy saving menu restores the no-deep-sleep battery drain state.
Connecting and disconnecting from external power or car dock doesn't seem to precipitate the drain, instead.
Please try yourself to confirm.... In this first ics firmware, knowing what to do to make it work at best is of great importance.

lpy for me not rooted this time if i need root i use the temp one the battery is fantastic
It's not only the crappy battery life.. try opening a folder (Nova Launcher, Apex, Trebuchet - doesn't matter) that contains more than 8 icons... LAGGY AS HELL. kinda miss the chinese leak
Try this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26088090&postcount=86
Im actually having the same issue with battery life. Was using miui and other ics roms with great battery life.
Im assuming its a rouge app or service. But i had 15% drain overnight from 1am-730am and thats not normal when device is not being used.

If i were you I'd install Cpu Spy from the market and watch if your note goes into deep sleep atall...

Hi.. I upgraded to the German ICS 5 days ago..
my baseband is N7000XXLPT
and build # is IML74K.XXLPY
and I put on the Speedmod 3.3 Kernel.
And i STILL have serious battery drain... I mean.. It wont even last half a day with not alot of on time as before with GB..
Can you please offer me some suggestions?? thanks.
thanks again..
Im at my witts end for a first time flasher...
Do a full charge and download CPU spy to find out if your phone its entering deep sleep, also check the battery stats for some clues as to what's causing it, finally go to task manger and go to the storage tab and select battery motoring.
This should identify any apps that are hogging battery / CPU.
If nothing its found, perform a full wipe.

A week ago i was having the same issue. It will run at max 8-9hrs. I needed to bring the charger at work for it to last until i get home to do another full charge. I have the same kernel and rom (LPY and speedmod combo). Serious battery drain abt 3-5% per hour doing absolutely nothing.
I did a little research and with the help of betterbatterystats i found out that the culprit is audioout_1 as betterbatterystats reported that audioout_1 wakes the phone from deep sleep.
By any chance do you have keytouch sounds on?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
People here will suggest cpu spy and better battery stats for you to PERSONALLY find what causes your problem.
Installing speedmod will not perform magic in your phone, but its a start in the right path.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
thanks for the replies gang.
I went to bed at 82% and in airplane mode.\Woke up to 42%.\CPU Spy saus only 2% deep sleep.
I dont have any sounds on. Alll sounds off except to vibrate on screen tap.
Im on the battery monitoring now in task manager.
My next step would be to purchas Bettery Battery Stats to pinpoint the programs preventing from going into deep sleep..
thanks for the answers again, gang.
**Question though***
under Task manager / Storage / Battery Monitor ...
Start monitoring..... then what? What does that do? I small icon shows up on the top status bar.
Then what? What to do after turning on Battery Monitoring? [email protected]!
Since we have different apps installed, you need to find out what app or process preventing your phone from going into deep sleep.
It's a pain I know but no other choice.
And you don't suspect speedmod?

No. speedmod goes into deep sleep for me without any problems. In his case it's an app that keeps the phone awake

I'm using Stock ICS kernel without deep sleep problem. Check sync options I ever found some app triggerred deep sleep problem while it's set sync ON.
thanks guys and gals for your comments..
I felt that youse were right in the fact that it was MY problem. within my GNote.
So I read and re-read other threads too & something caught my attention.
Someone said that maybe folks installed some sort of "messenger" or something that keeps "reaching out" to see if something is there for it.
And I remembered installing Yahoo Messenger to chat with this nice dame. about the same time frame when I went to ICS
Well...
I uninstalled Yahoo Messenger and WALLA!!!..
Back to deep sleep! And I got my battery back!
Thanks again for all the replies and comments.
They really help.
I hope my solution helps others out.
Try IM+ chat app it doesn't have problem with deep sleep. You can use yahoo login also.

Past couple of days , I have been seeing alot of battery drain even when my phone isn't being used. I have attached system panel monitoring screenshots.... you can see that my device usage is zero (this was at night) and my cpu activity is around 3% while the batter discharge is a steep graph showng alot of battery power drainage. Has anyone else experienced that.... Im trying to figure out the culprit app.... it hasnt been like this before... my phone is unrooted.... I have brightness at low 98% of the time. however i do use the wifi when im home.
THanks.

Custom kernel, Wakelock Detector, Greenify.
But I can see you're using a 4.3 ROM. Upgrading to 4.4 and ART will already give you a nice boost.

Since im not rooted so greenify wont work... will install wakelock detector and report back. Not sure when is google going to push 4.4 to N4 so gotta wait on that.
your android os is very high.. mess with your settings/setup, if you have stuff that you dont need synced turn it off. do you have music syncing? how about photos for g+?
My battery is draining too fast after upgrading to android 4.3. Even only on 2g there is 1% decrease in battery almost after every 3 minutes. But with screen off it will remain almost at 99% after even 12 hours or more. But when I start using the phone for something like even navigating through the settings the battery drops 1% every 3 minutes or even less. My handset is about a month old. I am from India and running the ML4 android 4.3 recently released by Samsung. There is no wakelock when the screen is asleep. The phone screen consumes between 60 to 90% of the battery or more. I factory reset it thrice since the update but with no effect. I am running the 4.3 update for about 3 weeks now. I also installed Greenify, battery doctor, juice defender etc to save battery but there is no improvement. I installed the same apps that I installed on the 4.1.2 firmware but the battery is draining quite faster in the 4.3 version. I also freeze almost all bloatware using Titanium backup and even uninstalled some like Google Books etc. but no use. I don't use wifi or wifi hotspot at all. I rarely use bluetooth. GPS, location, etc off. I even freeze Google Play store, Google play services and Google services framework. No multi window, no smart stay, no s voice, no ripple effect, no live wallpaper, etc everything off but still the same. If there is anyone facing this issue and has already found the solution, please help me out.

I remember my 4.1.2 had the same battery consumption and with 4.3 it remained unchanged(if not better). I think you just gonna get used to that .
Use your phone and stop thinking and worrying about battery. Though I charge my phone twice a day because I use wi-fi a lot,I still don't worry or something.
I have this habit of doing clean install. No mistake with that.

With normal usage it is more than 10 hours at 77%. May be it's normal but it last more than that on 4.1.2

It is normal battery drain.
Battery on 4.3 is almost same as 4.1. What else do you expect its a quad core phone.

If I browse the internet non-stop from 100% batttery then, after around 3 hours the battery is 20-30%. Is this also normal.

This is funny! You mean to say that the upgrade to android 4.3 has damaged my battery? The battery is not even 1 month old as I mentioned in the first post. The battery is very good on android 4.1.2...... As I mentioned in the first post, there is no battery drain when the screen is off. Even after 24 hours the battery is 99% from 100% with screen off. Why should I checked for wakelocks when the battery is fine on screen off? I did checked it to be sure but no wakelocks. The battery problem is when I use the phone, the battery is draining abnormally when the phone is used. Anyway thanks for your reply.

Using BetterBatteryStats will nevertheless help you to find out which process is consuming your battery…
Yes, 4.3 upgrade downgraded my battery life about 20% when I am using my phone. On idle it is better about 10-20% also compared with 4.1.2. It is useless to do factory resets or other nonsense. Just it is as is.

You are right! There is no use resetting the phone. It won't improve your battery's performance. I think it's a bug of android 4.3.

Okey So Firstly I rule Out Few Assumptions Made By Some Members(No Offense):
1) As thadoukuki said battery Drains only while using the phone and not wen its idle that means its not a wakelock for sure.
2)Secondly as the handset n battery ofcourse, are just a month old i dont even assume it to be damaged(Trust Sammy)
3)Thirdly 1% / 3Mins is quite normal on extensive Usage but as you say its just while navigating around settings etc. den i assume its a bit high.
4) Now betterbatterystats is good to identify what consumes your battery but ive never been a fan of that actually.
SO according to me try to do some trial n error work .
Instead of Freezing apps through TB u can use Greenify Donate to greenify system apps and user apps as well. It Does same job as TB freeze but without that extra hassle.
Secondly Choose a kernel that you think is battery friendly for you like the one which gives you peace of mind(Oh Yeah Battery's Draining Slow!!)
for me i'd go for Boeffla or Googymax
Choose a battery friendly Governer for ur CPU(For me Boeffla kernel with Archi_ultra_power_save governer gives great results)
Check if CPU Touch boost is Enabled in Kernel Settings coz Touch Boost gave me good performance and responsiveness but even i had observed that battery used to drain faster with it.
Battery friendly Rom with few Tweaks by xda members is always better for me over Stock( ArchiDroid Is the Rom ive ever Used){Personal Opinion}
Ppl Say undervolting helps .....hmm maybe ive never Done it but as you are very cautious about battery you may try it (on your own Risk)
Lets see if that Helps
And Lastly i never Observed much Change in Battery drain pattern wen Coming from 4.1.2 to 4.3 so thats not really true.
