[Q] Phone wouldn't turn on and significant battery jump (not a battery complaint) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
This is not a battery life problem. I've read the battery threads and could not find someone with a similar problem.
My problem: I left my phone locked and untouched while I went shower. Afterwards I decided to check my phone but it did not respond. I tried to turn it on but that failed too. The screen stayed black as if it was off. I ended up taking the battery out, putting it back in and turning the phone on.
The phone did turn on but my battery temperature was 45°C and 48%. My battery was 75% before I went shower. I checked the battery status page and here's what it showed. Notice the vertical drop in battery at the end of the graph.

After a few minutes since restarting:
The android os % also has never been this high before. I've also never experienced any battery problems mentioned in other threads. I use my phone quite often so display is always at the top. This is the first problem I've encountered with my SGS2 which had made me quite sad since it's less than 3 weeks old.
Thanks for reading and would really appreciate any input.

Suddenly android OS is eating up alot of battery, much more than usual

This dont usually happen. In fact, it only happen once.
All this while, the display always use the most battery life, about 50%
followed by android OS, about 10-15%.
my phone was fully charged before i sleep.
but i woke up with 5% battery left, the battery info says android OS used 60%!!
here is screenshot as proof.
i'm really confused, the phone state is appear to be NOT awake,
but the CPU usage is 1000MHz constantly while i sleep.
all this while i've been using rom tool box CPU slider to underclock it to 1000MHz, so thats the maximum my phone can go. i prefer it that way so its much less warm.
any idea whats causing this? as i mention before, this only happen once.
Even so, i'm very curious about this. any one experience this before? or know whats goin on?

[Q] huge power consumption SGS2

Hi everyone
i have a strange problem that happens often with my phone,
i noticed there are some certain apps or games cause my phone to consume power more that usual.
what happened was, i fully recharged my phone, then installed (Where's my water, the free version) from Android Market last night, and i played it for a while, then i went to sleep and the phone on the stand by mode.
when i woke up this morning and i found that my phone lost almost 40% of its charge over night.
the only solution to recover from that high power consumption is to restart the phone, but it is really annoying!
i took a snap shot to the power graph and i made little explanations on it.

Sorry for bad English!​
Download better battery stats from the market and it should tell you what was eating your battery. I'm guessing an app is keeping your phone awake. Check your uptime and awake time to see if it seems to close in numbers.
thanks for reply, but as you can see from that picture, the phone does not show awake condition while it consumes power.
anyways I'll try to install one of those battery monitor apps to identify what's wrong with the device.
thanks again
please help

[Q] Weird battery status: Faulty charging, bad battery, something else?

After a single day of use, my phone was reporting less than 10% remaining, a little strange as I've not used it much, but maybe a run-away app so I plugged it in (Samsung mains charger), then this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
Specs: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, not locked to any carrier, factory unlocked, no carrier logos or apps. Not rooted, standard OS, Android 4.3, Kernel 3.0.31-2788594, JSS15J.I9300XXUGNJ2.
So I'm now wondering either:
Super-powerful charger,
Phone thought battery was lower than it actually was,
Phone now thinks battery is a lot higher than it actually is,
Battery is on way out,
Something else?
wifi Seems on all the time. remember it's also the one that cause battery to drain.. some user/system apps running in the background..
Thanks, but I was more wondering about how the phone managed to go from 7% battery to 64% battery in less than a minute, and slowly increase from there until I unplugged it. It's at 54% now so appears to be stable.

Poor battery life caused by sleep problem related to charging.

I'm wondering if anyone might be able to help me with this battery life/sleep issue. I have not found much info about it online.
Phone: Nexus 6 unlocked on stock firmware and unrooted
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Android Version: 6.0.1 (build MMB29Q)
This issue also occurred on my old GS4 which was running Android 4.4.2/echoe rom.
Note the charging graph below:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I unplug my phone in the morning, I always have to turn it off and back on or else it will not enter sleep. With light use, phone frequently enters sleep and battery drain is minimal. After heavy use midday I plugged the phone in. Note that after the first partial charge, the phone never enters sleep until I restart it around 7pm. This results in significant battery drain.
This is a frustrating problem and I can't for the life of me figure out the cause other than it is directly related to charging. Anyone else encounter the same issue?
Thanks!

Question Time Remaining when charging

Hi,
So updated to the latest update but unfortunately when charging, the percentage and remaining charging time has disappeared on the lock screen. Not showing it anymore, attached

Same here. Except it does say something like "charging complete by 9:45am" because I a silent alarm set for then so the adaptive charging kicks in. It was always somewhat inaccurate, though, and Google may have just stopped trying to guess. Or got tired of the grief they were getting from people complaining it charges slowly in comparison to a lot of competitors.
Most phones and other devices reduce charging speed as total charge and/or temperature increases to make the battery last longer (lifespan, not a single day's charge). There are a few charts in this article showing the P6P and a couple of other phones: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-6-charging-test-3051231/
which latest update? the march update on my p6 is sill telling me time left to charge
On my P6 (up to date), only shows "time to charged" when it gets to around 90%. Before that, sometimes it says "charging rapidly", sometimes it doesn't.
