My battery is draining fast? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys for some reason my battery is being hammered, I've got trillian running cus I like to be signed in all times but I'm using battery saver mode and push to email
I have launcher pro widgets on half hour refresh I've amended that to 1hr and plume every half hour.
Screen is on automatic and im using gmail for email
At work I had 98% didn't use it % (in my pocket) 2 hours later I'm on 69%?
Is it trillian hammering me? I used to love being signed in all the time on blackberry so would like a similar solution
Thanks

check the battery saving mode under the settings on trillian.

I think there were some apps that were running. You can go tothe navigation: setting/application/battery use to see them. The another way, you try factory data to clean everything which you installed.
In the other hand, new battery is unstable. It needs about 2 weeks
Good luck

Look at your battery stats.. Sounds like something is keeping the phone awake.
As a general rule the phone should only very rarely be "awake" when the screen is off.. If it's on alot then start trying to troubleshoot the various apps.. Although trillian is definitely where i would start.

Yeah id say it be trillian, its a battery drainer program as its uses constant internet connection

I'm still calibrating my battery (it's been on 0% for half an hour and it's still hanging on for dear life with the screen on constantly!) but I have trillion so I'll check it out on next charge

If you are out and about turn off WiFi, it's a battery drainer.

Turned trillian off, still losing battery

Try this:
Fully charge your phone, switch it off. Check after 2-3 hrs, and see if the battery level has dropped. If yes, then, its the problem with your battery.
IF not, some app is draining through a ditch.
Install GSAM battery monitor, and use its app usage.
One more thing, screen calibration is also missing in sony. So how to calibrate screen?

Dolphin Browser = 9%? As much as a game?
That's quite high if you ask me. I use Chrome and it never gets more than 3~4% of battery usage.
I'm not on a P but on a S, but the usage figures proportionally should be comparable.
I check with gsam, screen and kernel is eating my battery. My screen brightness is at 0%. Dnt knw why.
I attached the screen shot.

Use your phone normally, and when it's 15% attach the graph alone, from your phone (not gsam 's).
Screen usually takes around 50%,and it's normal.

Check your signal & background apps. Also, to troubleshoot, disable background data. Get some apps like CPUspy from the play store to help identify.
Sounds like a rogue app. My phone drops like 5% over night

Rooted? Then try Greenify and select every App to be analyzed and then set into sleep mode.

Are you running Custom Rom or installed stock OTA?
If falshed a custom-rom, try to wipe data, system and cache partition and flash rom again.
If stock, try to factory-reset it.
A good tool to see changes, is Battery Monitor Widget

You will see your standby battery drain in milliampere after let it stay for about ~5-10 minutes in standby. If it is higher than -60ma, there is defnitely something wrong... of course for this test, disable any other drainig feature like wlan, bluetooth or mobile data. If Greenify helped (after you´ve installed and activated it), you will see the drain will stay under -20ma sometimes even und -10ma which is the best you can get out óf this device and any other.
Yes its android 4.2.2 & sense 5, official update and yes i am rooted. Ok i will give a try to these tools

Before or after greenify?
-44ma means that there defnitely something running in background, you normally get this with wifi in standby, music is -60ma + x
How long was the phone is standby before taking the screenshot? Battery Monitor normlally needs some time... .
I suppose you did everything right and you haven´t applied Greenify yet? So do that and check standby drain again

Okay so for what purpose do actually need to have the screen on so long?
One thing i have noticed is that, if you disable power save mode in standby, you will get even a better standby drain, sometimes -1ma and under! according too Battery Monitor Widget 0+ ma D so it´s maybe -0,5ma DD
Just for clearance, greenify only helps to longer standby mainly!
Otherwise i just can advice you to shorten screen on time

[Q] suggestions to get better battery life

Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases

I've already done the above mentioned. The biggest consumer is Facebook but I have set the notifications to refresh every hour...

This was today's usage...I don't get it. I guess that media server is when I play music through bluetooth in my car. Still, very bad screen on time ...
the factors that affect battery life:
-screen brightness
-bluetooh connection
-wi-fi connection
-gps
-3G/2G connection
-synchronization
-wallpaper
-vibration
Get zerolemon battery i can get 11/12 hours screen on time with juice to spare!

Nobody can say without having any information.
Biggest reasons it'd have are:
1. Bad connection, your phone is search for good signal all the time and thus draining battery.
2. One or more of ur apps interrupt deep sleep of ur phone and let it drain battery.
If bad signal is the cause the only thing u can try is flashing another modem. Otherwise a new provider is needed.
If apps are the problem, you'd get greenify and hibernate all apps u don't need to push notifications.
If this problem still persist, download betterbatterystats and check which app or process is stopping deep sleep of your phone.
I don't think I have to mention GPS,wifi,bluetooth and automatic sync should be deactivated right?

You could also use greenify to close any apps that are still running when your screen is off. Also, you could try using a different kernel such as dorimanx or apolo.
