[HELP] Random battery drain, serious problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been really happy with the battery life of the s2, however every now and again the phone randomly reboots and I lose as much as 10%+ battery instantaneously.
In one instance I lost about 80% or so as soon as I took it off charge!! I'm not sure what is causing this but would be grateful if anyone knows a solution or is having the same problem.
There's a few screen shots below to highlight the problem.

I am having the same problem.

that looks bad..
have you tried something like...completely draining the batt, then while keeping the phone off, charge it back up to 100%?

Multiple battery posts on here read them .
One such is here and plenty more .

Thank-you people. I have tried a full drain once, but I may well try that again. It seems to be ok lately but I will keep an eye on it.

Funny, I always did get decent battery and never understood all the complaints. If you shut down 90% of the crap (BT, WiFi, GPS, News twice a day, weather twice a day.........) I could in theory leave the house and make it home.
My problems is I listen to radio at work!
Nice find, will give a try.
It looks like you did not use the phone much that day.
I can probably get two days or more from my Photon if I am not using it
Bu even when I am using it a lot, I get home at the end of a day (around 7:00 PM) with 60-70 percent battery life remaining. I think one of the keys is to used Sep CPU to low power when the screen is off.
good info i'll try

Wakelocks (?) on Wifi

Hello everyone,
I've had my GS3 for over a month now and I can say I am quite happy with it. Battery life is rather consistent (I come from an Apple IP4).
There is something that is bugging me though. Every time I am connected to a wifi network, battery drains faster than usual. Whenever I check the battery usage, I can see that the phone wakes up for short periods of time repeatedly, mainly when I am using wifi. Here's a screenshot of it.

I am on 4.1.1. No custom ROM and/or rooted.
Hope you can help me.
Something's waking your phone regularly... not WiFi. Use BBS to monitor what is doing it.
It is likely to be an app using a network connection for data retrieval.
My guess is that an app is set to sync\download\upload when you are on WIFI only, and stuck in a loop. Install Better Battery Stats, charge your phone fully, put it on WIFI and then leave it for an hour. Then check and\or post your BBS log.
Happy hunting.
Is there a free app that i can do that with???
Thanks a lot.
Probably wlan_rx_wake wakelock
There are custom kernels for that
You know, as i said, I've only had the phone for over a month. More info on that would be greatly appreciated.

Phone is completely back to stock (S-ON, ***LOCKED*** bootloader, etc.)
Up since charged two days ago. Stock OEM battery, too. What do you guys think?
Where's the screen on time and what were you're usage habits? You gotta be a lot more specific than that.

Your screen was practically never on.

It doesen't matter what rom you use, aside from a slight battery savings that can be tweaked, your screen is the biggest battery hog by far. The best thing you can do is dim your screen, with it very dim I've had almost 5 hrs of on time for the screen, average around 2.5-3.
I can also reach 24hrs+ if I keep my screen on for 1 second! /s
The Moderating team is not really a fan of best rom threads because what may be a great rom for one person may not be the same for another because needs and usage will very. So I'm going to close this.

Looks like your screen is eating a lot of battery.
Try reducing the brightness to minimum.
Also the OS on your phone takes some time to set itself up so wait a days or two and then check it again.
Also there have already been many threads adressing the same issue, starting a new thread without searching is not a healthy habit.

I can highly recommend greenify (when you have root access). It can solve a lot of battery drain problems, due to stopping unwanted backup processes from running.

Yeah, that happened to my phone too. Take out the battery and see if it's swollen up. If you've been using this battery for 1-2 years, it's probably time to replace it. If it is swollen up, try not to use it anymore, it may be dangerous.
And to prevent your new battery from dying so fast, try not to charge your phone while you're using it.
