Galaxy S2 Battery Problems solved

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:

Buddies Now
IM
IMEITracker
KIES air
Kies via WI-Fi
KOBO
Mobile Tracker
Samsung Apps

Software Update
Voice Commands
Wi-Fi Sharing

Zinio Reader
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.
Regards.

Google fit app on L is draining machine.

Look at this.

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 don´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..

Some new finding on app behavior after the 146MB update.

The battery improvement is significant for sure after the update, I also found that using samsung package disabler to freeze some of the app is not causing the battery drain any more. (My personal experience before the update was disabling app using package disabler actually causing some of the battery drain). I will attach the one I disabled right now. So far there doesn't seem to be any effect on battery life. I didn't disable the knox or samsung pay function as I use them quite often. I'm also try to be less aggressive with the app I disable. App that could making the communication in the background I try to avoid disabling them.
Also, I found greenify's aggressive doze function seems to working for me. At least, help extend battery a little bit when not in use. I only open the aggressive doze function and never force it to hibernate app. I also exclude many of my frequently used app from hibernation list.
The apps I have freezed using package disabler

I will upload some result tonight.
Hope I can hear more tips from other users. I keep getting about 60% or more left after the update with about 2 hour of sot when I go to sleep compare to maybe 30% to 40% left before the update. I don't use dark theme as I like lighter color. Also, I use chrome browser and listen to a lot of pod cast when I'm drove home. I also try to close the screen when using GPS to save power but my location is always set at high accuracy, I tried GPS only mode but don't think that effect battery life of the phone. I want to use the phone as normal as possible. Different people have different usage, If you using GPS all the time and turn off the screen while using it. The screen on time probably pretty low but still have high battery usage. Therefore, I believe SOT to be highly subjective.
I also read that the best way to protect battery is not let it fall below 40% or 50%. So after some more testing, if I found the battery report seems to be stable after this update. I will just using wireless charger to top it off during work time.

[CM13] [ZNH0EAS2JK] Strange battery behaviour and HIGH drain

Suddenly, Battery usage screen becomes as in the picture...
It seems that ONLY Google Services are using battery!
In parallel, I'm experiencing an heavy battery drain: it lasts only 6 or 7 hours while before upgrading to MM it lasts more or less 23 hours.
In addition, if I modify "Privacy" settings as in the past I cannot use phone because Google Services claims to use PhoneCall!!!
Do you have some suggestion(s)?
Thanks in advance for your precious help,
M.

I had the same problem some days ago. Even after a full wipe, after some hours returned.
I solved it a week uninstalling Google Play Services and flashing OpenGapps from recovery. Now it seems all right.

Really? I have the same issue same like you, and I do like I said before, and solved,, have you do a factory reset?

you should try the following:
1) greenify play services (you need donation package)
2) use better battery stats to see what is the problem
3) use disable service from playstore to disable all the useless part of the play services (google for "disableservice play services" and you'll get a list)
4) change kernel ( i recommend boeffla)
p.s. can i know the theme of your phone? looks beautiful

My apologies for delay but it was a busy day...
Suddenly, all statistics come back again!
And I'm not really happy with that because it could means that there is something wrong in this ROM
About theme: it is Deep Darkness by Moelle.

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.
