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

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274 lightning rom 6.1 i have found that after flashing some uk apps itv player is blocked for downloading but u can downlaod it before u install and the 4 od website dont work
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?
<deleted> sorry
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.
Good evening,
I have read all over that people are complaining about the horrible battery drain and I would be one of them. If I am lucky I will get 12 hours from a battery while at work (metal building with mediocre reception) and 18 hours while outside without any reception problems.
I have been suspecting that an app is running in the background that could be causing the battery drain but I haven't been able to find it. So, I am wondering if I can get some help in finding what might be running to make the battery life a little bit better. Attached are screenshots.
Thank you.
Thought 12 - 18 hours would be a decent time to have on 4.3?
It's more than likely Google Now running in the background so you should try turning that off
Same problem
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. I did install GE rom on my galaxy s4 for few days. I am a little a "newbi" in this kind of things. Even I spend my afternoon on the forum to find an answer, I am not able to know what I have to do now.
Briefly, here are my stats :
On battery : 8h7m
Screen on : 3h9m
Remain : 5 %
I publish herewith the resume of BetterBatteryStats. If anyone can "interpret" that and tell me if there is something wrong, that would be great !

I checked and Google Now has been turned off. I also have had Google Maps location reporting turned off (read that might drain the battery).
Using cyanogenmod provides me around 1 and a half days. .... but I usually have to kill all Google services ...
Using Easy Battery Saver on Intelligent Mode I can get about a day or more use, mimimal though, and still have at least 50% battery left.
Good evening,
I have tried running it with the settings suggested and it has not made much of a difference. I took my phone off of change at 5:15 this morning and I am now getting a low battery warning.
Attached are screenshots from Battery Status Plus. Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks.

Not enought info, but seems to be a partial wakelocks problem. More screenshots needed (stock setting battery graphs and partialmwakelocks in battery stats)

Use wakelock detector, that app you are using gives very little useful information
If you have rooted device I suggest to Install "Greenify" app. it close (hibernate) all unused apps when your device is idle (standby)
+1 for Greenify. it really works

Hi,
do you have only battery drains or also random reboots?
the fact is that samsung shipped out a bad serie of batteries (which is confirmed by Samsung) their serial starts with BD
the symptoms of a bad battery are:
Huge battery drain
random reboots
while rebooting the phone hangs at samsungs logo
battery is swelling
phone shutting down while you have an incomming call/sms
when you are the "lucky one" to experience one of the above symptoms please replace your battery asap under warranty
if you don't do this you risk a phone exploding in the pocket of your pants this is not only painfull for your phone but also for "everything else" whats in there

The only symptoms that I have out of that list is huge battery drain so I don't suspect that it is a bad battery.
I took some more screenshots and have attached them. I just installed the wakelock detector and will let you know how that goes.
Thanks for the help

A lot of screenshot but almost no info about battery drains (some info of data ussage, som apps consuption, etc, but nothing relevant)... It would be great if you could post screenshots of
1) settings->more->battery
2) settings->more->battery->touch the little graph
3) settings->more->battery->screen
4) any screenshot for partial wakelocks in better battery stats or that program you are using
First three screenshots are the most important and everyone should post them when a drain problem exists (no needed any third battery management app)
Hi all
I noticed that the battery runs out quickly.
It holds only 12 hours in normal use.
While I was at 48 hours with my Huawei mate 8
Is there a solution to this problem?
I have attached the phone version if it can help.
Wait bro, your firmware version is outdated, latest Lollipop firmware is 2.20.40.184, but yours is still running 2.20.40.90, update your firmware first then compare your battery stats from your previous firmware version.
How long is your SoT(Screen on Time)? Well, on a daily usage my Zenfone 2 lasts for up to 6hrs SoT(with wifi browsing, some gaming, 2g/3g texting including standby for almost 12hrs as well) so i think your experiencing average for this kind of handset.
Also note that you've posted on a wrong section, this thread should be posted on the "Q&A, Help, Troubleshooting section".
This phone generally has **** battery life for majority of people, there are every few people who see any decent battery life (like above). There are no solutions for good battery life for this phone.

I wouldn't recommend somebody (even less a new XDA user) to flash a beta firmware. Only the user itself should decide if he /she really wants to try beta software.

Comparing this phone's battery to a Huawei battery is like comparing a Prius to a Tesla. I can go 3 days on my Huawei Ascend Mate 2 but it's a 4000mAh battery and a Snapdragon chip compared to a 3000mAh battery and an Intel chip. The ZF2 battery will never get better unfortunately
I was getting some serious battery drainage on stock rom - I upgraded to the CM13 ROM with Android 6.0.1 - Set it on Root and installed Greenify + Xposed Framework - Smart Booster - Battery Doctor - Configured them all and keep my brightness on low when in doors and automatic when outside. My battery seems to be holding much better now. I haven't used that Stock rom Beta release of 6.0.1 yet so I'm not sure if that'll help. Good luck!
P.S - I only installed the mini version of GApps.

Check for the running apps and disable those that are not of use to you.. There are apps that run in the background, just run those that you think you will be using always.

Disable touch gestures, the ones that let's you double tap to wake it up, I disabled mine and during the night, with wifi on, it only used 1% battery.
Also, disabling LED notifications would help.
To replace the double tap to lock screen I use Greenify's widget, need to find a way to let me wake it up by volume buttons too.
Any other battery saving tips would be great.

But still, that's very good. I probably won't get this low because I have crappy reception at home, but I'll check it anyway.
zenfone 2 is best for performance lag free most of the time .....but battery life sucks.... and about that ferrari and prius thing... my friends sony xperia z series especialy z ultra has awesome battery life it is also quad core processor phone ...it is also a beast phone ...but there stamina mode saves a lot of battery ... 8 to 10 hr SOT is normal for z ultra..... so clearly power managment is very poor for zenfone 2. i am using marshmellow cm 13 .. greenify... .. overnight drop is 3 to 4 %... but as soon as i start using it battery starts to drain quickly..... i have searched whole xda forum.. but everybody is talking about wakelocks, thats fine but during actual use also it is consuming a lot of battery....i am tired of searching
Hi !
To make it short , i even downgraded to kitkat , and got my self a new battery , it's a taiwanese battery, couldn't find authentic battery anywhere.
The best sot i could get is like 5-6h ( video playback). Normal usage would get me 2:30h or 3h top
Share your usage please . Im hating this phone
Please delete this. There are numerous threads here about battery life. We don't need more.
The phone is not from yesterday !

My battery life significantly improved when I flashed Lollipop with full data wipe (totally clean fresh install).
There might be certain apps draining your battery.
I'm seeing several issues...
1, Facebook is running.
2. Whatever that Ludo King app is, it is using the majority of your battery.
3. unofficial, non-big brand batteries are always worse.
Try Greenify. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
(If you're in the Netherlands, https://www.gsmpunt.nl/ still sells official batteries.)

Ludo King seems to be killing your battery big time.
Try Greenify app. It works amazingly well.
How can you say you cannot find the authentic battery ... ?
You can find the original battery from many ebay vendors
Also in amazon
Im at 64% with 1h sot
It would be nice if you share yours guys
I am on 51% with 4 and a Half hours SOT. I am running Resurrection Remix Nougat V5.8.3, i am using my brand new Note 3 Powerbear Battery from Amazon. I use greenify to hibernate applications running in the background including system apps. I also tweaked my LMK and kernel settings with Kernel Auditor.
Can you help me? My battery in my phone sucks! Im in oreo 339 because i have seen reviews sbout this snd i tried but still sucks. I have debloated my phone installed naptime still sucks with no heavy usage. Is my battery the problem? Can you suggest me solutions for this like can i try other rom or what? I really need your help guys.

5000mAh battery lasting only for 3 hour's. Definitely your battery damaged.
Still more information is needed for assessment.
Provide the below mentioned information
year's you been using this device ?
Do you use any kind of rogue app like facebook ?
provide a screenshot of battery usage.
Are you rooted or have knowledge of using adb ?
Thank you. Have a great time !

Unfortunately the screenshot that you shared provides no data related to app usage.
You can try few things to troubleshoot but it's time consuming. So if you're interested let me know.

First thing is remove all other battery monitoring apps . And just use BBS ( no neee to use amplify now ). Rest follow the post.
