I assume you are playing a lot wiht your new phone which drains battery because of the display. You should start tweaking display settings as xperia phones usually dont have auto brightness (dont know about Ray thou). Also get rid of that task killer but instead get memory tweaker or V6 super charger if you have root permissions. Try changing from 3g to 2g. As 3G coverage is not that good in India, you ll end up draining more battery even when idle.

Spare parts has auto brightness apk should work but I get 3 days out the neo so you should atleast get 24 hours

Moving this to General-Q&A section as I don't see any development here. It looks its related to other device model even.
I will move some others and try to keep development section only for development.
I think it will be good for everybody. Any help is always appreciated.
Regards,

I'm having an issue where phone idle is taking up about 50% of the battery drain on my phone. I left it on overnight on flight mode, and half of the battery vanished over the course of about 7 hours.
Anybody know any fixes, or related issues?

i have the same issue
when i opened the battery use menu, it shows THIS !!!
(i have charged it to 100%, disconnected charger, few minutes on stand by, had a phone call, stand by again...
after "that" time [more than an hour] the battery is spontaneously draining itself with EVERYTHING OFF {wifi, 3g, data, sync, gps, etc... !!!!)
the screenshot :
1h 16m 22s on baettery
Contacts 55% (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Display 22%
Voice calls 8%
cell standby 6%
phone idle 6%
Dolphin Browser HD 2%
and in general everytime i recharge my phone, >50% of usage is to CONTACTS !!!
the phone drains on standby as if i was playing a game !!!!!!!

Hi guys - I'm sorry I dont have a solution but I will add something that I've recently experience with my Xperia Neo.
I move around alot within my job - travelling constantly around the city between 5-100km every hour or so and I noticed that during this time my phone's battery was below what I expected - it would last 12 hours and it would NEED to be put on charge.
I asked a friend of mine what he thought and he suggested turning off the 3G setting and selecting 2G only. This is the fix we tried and it appears to have worked.....but...
if only it was that easy - my phone appears to have come from China and so I actually didnt have a menu option to select 3G - the only option was 3G and nothing else, so I had to flash the phone with international firmware to get the menu option.
Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode = GSM only

I made thread on the SE forum with tips on how to improve the battery time, but if none of those help I suggest that you repair the firmware using PC Companion.

[Q] Serious Battery Drain

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

[Q] Battery Life Issue PLZ Help

First of all I've search through the forums, google, samsung support and even friends with the SGS2 as well yet I keep having the same problem.
No matter what I do, play games or just leave it on standby my battery dies in 5-6 hours.
I'm on Android stock 2.3.4 non-rooted, Baseband version I9100UHK1 kernel version [email protected] #2 Build Number GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Brightness always at minimun, I changed TouchWiz to go launcher with a minimal setup where my icons are just white text and my background is quite dark, I don't run any app like twitter or facebook or anything like that, just pulse but i have only 3 feeds on it and they have news pushed every 5-6 hours.
Also I have widget locker, and the app i semi-use a lot is WhatsApp.
The thing is I've hear the battery isn't the best but most of the people I know get at least 8 hours with it and is driving me crazy since I go to work around 7 and when I'm going to lunch I'm hitting 15%...
I can provide any info required but I would really like some help here, I want to know if maybe I had a defective battery or something or if there is something wrong with my phone.
Although If I'm on a WIFI the phone can last up to 10 hours, so perhaps I was thinking i was having a signal problem so I switched my network mode from AUTO to WCDMA only since I like to use the 3.5G network since in my country the 3G network barely reaches 256K...
I also have widget locker.
Well that's about much the info I think I can give so far... tomorrow I'll be posting a picture around lunch with the battery usage so you can see how fast it drops, it's amazing it takes me 7 minutes to get to the office and in those 7 minutes I would go from 100% to 97% easy...
Post a screenshot of your battery usage.
Sounds like an app is keeping your phone from entering deep sleep, try downloading betterbatterystats from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809&highlight=better+battery+stats to see if you can track down the offending app. There is plenty of explanation in the thread that should help you locate the source of the problem.
Ill be posting a battery usage screenshot tomorrow and getting that BetterBatteryMonitor since today I've been with the wifi all day.

download "Juice defender" from apps market.. it helped me extend my batter life about 1 - 2 hours with average usage.. and update the firmware via kia or manually flashing them into sgs2. i updated mine to KI8 and gosh it boosted my battery for about 3 - 4 hours.. also i have no idea if this help or not.. since i myself havent noticed difference but if u want to mess with kernels or roms... try flashing speedmod kernel with stock rom.. it disable few logs and speeds up ur phone abit
Two hours and im already at 50% i sent three text and made a 2 min phone call

Thanks in advanced.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
im not too great with BBS stats. What I do know however is that using the phone with no apps installed, then installing each app u like one by one always helps. As someone explained earlier your phone is awake a hell of alot more than your screen on time. Im currently on 27 hours with 3 hours screen on time and my batt is still on 35% so thats an indication of the battery life you should be able to get with the stock battery.
Your alarm manager is draining a lot of battery though, if i'm not mistaken, the alarm manager has something to do with apps that sync, so something that syncs is more than likely draining your battery. Just noticed you have liveprofile. I must say Liveprofile DRAINED THE HELL out of my battery, it doesn't happen to everyone but once I uninstalled liveprofile my battery issues went away real quick
Uninstall whatsapp and see how your battery is then.
Whenever I install one of those style of apps my battery life drops to what you have now. Uninstall and I gain a couple of hours all around.
Whatsapp shouldn't cause issues, I have used it since day one and most people report it to be fine. Liveprofile however just runs non stop
Are you using VoIP? If yes, try to disable sip registration. When I had it enabled, my battery would drop around 5% an hour on standby but now it drops 1% every 3 hours or something. Today I'm 12 hours on battery with a couple of phone calls, 20-30 minutes gaming, an hour of internet browsing, some music and wifi on for 5 hours and I'm still on 81%. I use Checkrom 3.1.1 with Speedmod kernel and ondemand governor with no underclock or undervolt. Brightness at 40%, a gmail account with push enabled and another e-mail account syncing every hour.
You should find out what app wakes up your phone so often and uninstall it. It may help if you flash another kernel too.
Ive always had a problem with whatsapp, nomatter how I configure it it will take on average 3hours off my standby time. Did it on my HTC Hero, Does it on my SGS2.
I try reporting it to the devs they just ignore me.
I uninstall it and my battery life comes back up to normal. I admit though that others are definitely worse, but I am just saying Ive personally had drain issues with Whatsapp over two different handsets over the space of 9months/a year.
Defo not whatsapp i have it and its never held a killer wake lock. But u defo have a badass wake lock. One of the worse ive seen. What social apps do u have? And whats ur syncing like?

Battery Woes

Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.
On wifi with little to no voice signal that cuts out frequently, I might get seven hours of screen on time today D:

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

Super idea ) i've done that today. All seemed good. 2,5 % awake is fine

Whats the lowest battery drain you can get ?

I can get like 1-2% / hour according to batterypromonitor but according to my friends their sgs3 drains like 0.20% / hour, is this even possible? if i have 100% overnight and turn it on i usually have a little under 90% battery left, that is still good right? I just dont see how u can get under 1% drain with all usual settings turned off.

Often I charge before bed and when I wake up after 6 hours it's still on 100% because I think Samsung have fudged the battery metering after the instant 1% drop on earlier versions, so just going by mine 10% overnight is too much.
If i don't use the cell at all, i get like 0.90% / hour, on stock non rooted firmware, just 12 apps disabled, 2G only, no bluetooth or wifi.
2%/8h by night:
WiFi disabled, power saving mode
i9.0.1.3k galaxy imperator
What 12 apps exactly??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
The battery drain depends on so many factors but as all the major options are disabled, than the battery drain depends on the signal coverage of the network... if your phone is getting low signal than it will consume more battery as the radio will keep hunting for the batter signal... I have tried to confirm by spending my might at 2 different places... in my house I get around 6 to 10% battery drain overnight while when I am at my office the battery drain is around 2 to 3% per 6 to 7 hours... as the signal in my office is better than at my house...
I get about 7-9% drain overnight which is like 8-9 hours for me....no apps running and wifi on
Overnight with GPS and WiFi and Mobile Data OFF .
between 1 and 2 percent drain .
Current with JB test roms and test settings /apks its about 10% .

Maybe you could try go power and set to data off while screen off. This greatly increase your standby power.
And the Facebook apps seem costume a lot of battery even you disable all notification.
If you don't mind uninstall it will increase your standby power efficiency too.
I got around 1% battery decrease in 4 hourafter this 2 configuration. Before is nearly same to your case

Instead of facebook app... try to use FBM, it is available free. skype also uses more battery... you can try turning off when you are not connected to any network...

2-5%/8-12hrs idling.
If I switch to Airplane and PowerSave I have less than 1% of drain on 12hrs.
Usually get two days out of it.
Lotta apps and tweaks. You just gotta keep your stuff in order and monitor for misbehaving apps. Facebook and other crap have a tendency to freeze and cause wakelocks.

Thats a very good figure, out of interest do you know what it does with data switched on?
John
I am trying to understand this image what is the "M" it is for time? Of what? and the % on the application line?
Sorry for bad English.

4.1.2 and S3 battery life is getting worse

I don't know what's going on with this phone now. Look at how low the use is!?

Same

My phone lost 21% battery over night in 9 hours. Network location locator kept the phone awake for nearly 2 hours. I'm guessing its something to do with Google now.
Yes Google now eats my battery juice like a boss.

just disable Google Now feature and u'll see the difference .. it eats about 50% of the battery with the real time update coupons or what's so called ...

Viber is known to keeping phone awake by invoking mediaserver to keep scanning for files in phone, not just that, it will keep wifi on all the time. You need to go to the setting inside the viber app to turn it off and remember to log out of the app after using it. My recommend is remove viber completely.

Viber has only been on a day. It's a temp app for 2 weeks while my friends are away in Thailand.
I think Google now is the battery killer. Since I turned that on my battery has been awful.

When it reaches to 100%, in reality it's not 100% charged, you have to leave it charging a few more minutes

3G networks are a major battery drain in every phone out there...
Don't understand why they don't make more 3G efficient chips

This is not about 4.1.2 but about my phone in general. i put the software on there just so people know.
Also it wont charge to 100% no matter what i do both my batteries only charge now to 96% and 93% i think they are both deteriorating.
i think my battery drain has to do with Google now. i have turned it off to see the difference
I have fast dormacy on, wifi set to static and network to gsm for best results
Some networks don't have fast dormacy though so download the fast dormacy app and an app called network signal info and try different settings.
Bad signal and wrong settings is cause of most battery loss
When charging it's best to kill tasks with task killer

why blaming on 4.1.2 LEAK JellyBean when it self haven't officially announce.. can't wait to complain until it finalize?
online apps + 3G/mobile data = battery drain, because most online required apps have permission to use mobile data anytime, anywhere, unless we switch of the mobile data..
