hey,
I bought a month ago a new vibrant from the states and I installed Bionix rom and then Honeybee.
I have 2 problems with the battery:
the first one is when I'm rebooting the cellphone the percents of the battery status get down by 10-30%, for example: I had 45% and then after the reboot I got 22%, sometimes it's even fell to 0%.
the second one is that the battery is working only within 5-5 and half hours max with no Wi-Fi and normal-less usage, the display is taking at least 80% of my battery (as it write on the setting option), I do have juice defender and I tried to find out what application taking so much battery but no success (I used some programs like watchdog lite and etc.).
I tried to change the battery the other ones (even battery that works great on the I-9000).
**I've tried to calibrate the battery more than once.
anybody has some suggestions?
have you done a battery calibration
?
try a different kernel

yes I've done it already...
the next comment - I'm using Tigerbloodv3.22
I heard it's pretty good kernel.
Is it possible it's an hardware problem?
try bali 1.8 uv kernel
why dont you try going back to stock and see if the problem is is still there if it isnt try a differnt rom

I second this.
stock means to the original version?
if I want to do it, how can I save all of my contacts?

if you save them to the sim it wont matter
or back up contacts/calls with titanium backup, cant restore it on any other version though, just 2.2.1 if thats what honeybee is
back up anything else you want with titanium, preferable not system data unless you're just going to restore it to that version

Best way in my opinion is just to make sure you save everyone as a Google contact. That way they are backed up and restored automatically.

try calibrating again, charge full, unplug, if it drops, plugin again, keeps repeating this till it stays at 100
then use a calibration app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024867
or boot into recovery and wipe battery stats
or do it through root explorer and reboot
it'll take a few charge cycles to settle in, charge full, run all the way down till its completely dead, charge full, run all way down again
alright, so I calibrated my cellphone and it is still with the battery problem... is it possible that there is an hardware problem?

dont know, my phone's done it a few times and i've had it jump up 30 or 40% aswell after a reboot so just leave it a few days, let it settle
or try a different battery
I flashed the Bali 1.2ghz kernel last night and my battery is now amazing! Unplugged my phone at 6:30am, its now 10:40pm and with heavy use I still have 22% left.

Hi. There are a lot of battery threads - a lot!, but after using search I found nothing relating to this problem.
My phone was fine up until a week ago or so. I'm on stock 2.3.5 after upgrading from VillainRom (which was great, but I just wanted stock back).
I've been back on stock since 2.3.5 released and everything was great. I froze/stopped the bloatware ect..
But the last week or so my battery drains 45-50% a night. I have wifi off and also the data network is off. I don't know what could be doing this.
Could someone help trouble shoot this please? As I said, it was perfect before, I don't think I've changed anything, wifi and data are off overnight, all apps closed.
Thanks very much.
EDIT - So I bought two new batteries and I still have the same problem. I've even went back to VillainRom 3.0
Now here's the kicker, after putting my phone on charge in the morning, after two minutes it's up to 46%. So whatever is happening it's not the battery draining, it's a software bug or a hardware bug or something.
Has anyone heard of this? And what's the best way to go about this?
Also, why would this only happen overnight and not during the day?
EDIT 2
I have attached 3 screenshots of my battery stats.

Better Battery Stats should be of help.
You'll be interested in Partial Wakelocks, and possibly Kernel Wakelocks. If you're unsure of anything post in that thread and someone should be able to point you to a solution.

Thanks. I've been trying that since you suggested it. It hasn't helped. I'm thinking it's a software problem, so I'm going to start fresh.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
Maybe you can try to do a factory reset and start again from the beginning (gmail account, install apps, etc...)

Yeah, that's what I'm just about to do. I'm also reading about Villain 3.0, might give that a go while I'm at it.
So I bought two new batteries and I still have the same problem. I've even went back to VillainRom 3.0

Try recalibrating your battery. Drain it completely to 0 and charge fully. Then wipe the battery. Status.

I did that with my last battery, which is what prompted me to buy new ones. I also wiped the battery stats again when I installed villainrom.

DON'T DO THIS.
There batteries are not meant to drain to 0%. It could damage your batterie.
If you already wiped your batterie stats with this batterie, just use your phone and charge it when it's almost empty. Repeat this a few times. It is possible that your batterie needs to settle in and that your problem is solved in a few days.
If not, try flashing an other rom. Make sure you wipe everything (except batterie stats, because you already had).
Yep do not drain it completely.
I would recommed to calbirate your battery. It seems that your battery stats are somehow off.
Use this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312273
If it does not helpt do it againg and go through a few charge cycles.
If the problem still persits I would consider a factory reset.
download battery calibration from market and follow instruction.
Thanks for the replys, but none of this has helped. What else could it be?
Imho the Battery will never drains to zero, the phone will turn off before, so let your phone on until it turns off by low voltage, if you afraid ruin your battery, use the eldest, you already got 2 spare batts
I had a similare issue some weeks ago and my phone went dead 3 !! hours after the indicator reaches zero.
Maybe it helps.. (No guarentee)
Just to be sure, have you tried a different charger? perhaps yours is messed up?
BTW, i flashed 4 different ROMS in the last 2 month, and i never wiped my batterystatts .. no issue with that (for me)
Try a different kernel, based on my experience, the rom is almost nonrelevant to battery usage, the kernel makes the major difference, give Phenomenal Extreme a try, this kernel boosts your Battery for real! -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351191
Turn of location service and facebook
Good Luck! Feedback appreciated..
if you wipe to factory resets, add your google account, but don't add anything else, does the same thing occur?
If so, I would say it's a hardware issue, otherwise it's probably software.
I saw someone suggest using better battery stats, and you said that it didn't help, what do you mean it didn't help? It doesn't fix anything, it just lets you identify WHAT is using the battery.
My Galaxy S used to drain to 50% overnight, turns out it was the instant messaging (using MSN) that was doing it.
Like I said, try it after a clean factory reset with just our gmail account, no MSN, no Hotmail, no Yahoo, etc and no Additional Apps
or you can try speedmod's kernel ... test 13 i think is the latest ..
works a wonder to me in terms of battery performance
I can try another Kernal, but I have switched recently.
Because of this issue, the last time I switched roms and kernals I did a clean start, and I didn't restore anything, I literally started from fresh.
I'm using VillainRom 3.0
Kernal: Siyah 2.1.1
Modem: KI3
I will have another look at battery stats aswell.
I have added some screen caps of my batterys stats to The op, I'd appreciate it if you'd have a look.
Thanks again.
I won't bump this again if there are no replys, but just incase it was missed.
Sorry.
Hi, I downloaded and installed XWLPY NeatRom Lite v3.5 (18th October 2012)a couple of days ago and now my battery is draining extremely fast. I tried a couple of battery managers and nothing seems to work.
Anyone with any ideas on what I can do to remedy this? Plus I can't see the update section in my settings, is it removed with this software?

The ROM doesnt have an update because the devs have removed it because you just flash an update. As for the battery drain give it a few more days if the problem persists try another ROM. If it still persists after that try recalibrating the battery or resetting the fuel gauge chip.
Hope this helps

Hi,
NeatROM 3.5 is one of the best ROMs from battery backup perspective. And I can say that because I am using it since 3.5 came out and have never had any issues.
For a better battery life, follow the steps from the link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33045733&postcount=8776
Please note that the instructions are prepared to get the most out of your battery. Even if you follow the few ones that you are comfortable with, you will surely see some improvement.
Please press Thanks if this has helped you.

Its simple mate. Just download an app and hit a button.
Usually battery drain is due to one of two things.
-Phone not going into deep sleep
-Wakelocks.
Download an app like CPU spy. you can use it to see whether or not your phone is going into deep sleep like it should. Also, use better battery stats to look for wakelocks. Download the app from HERE , let it run for one battery cycle and then check for wakelocks. If you dont know what those are, spend some time reading that thread.
But if you want to hold off for a couple of days, you can do that. It does take some time for a phone battery to settle when a new rom/kernel has been installed, after which battery life tends to improve.

Thank you very much for your help mate. I've tried a couple of battery managers off play (juice defender and another one). Right now kind of regretting this download, everything seems to be going wrong;
1. battery is draining @ 15% in 20 mins ( I only bought the battery last week after having the phone unlocked).
2. there's a lot of lag
3. screens keep freezing and
4. keep losing reception and constantly having to restart phone.
I only downloaded this cause after unlocking my phone it failed to update. Is there any other that I can download that works well with SGS2?
There's no dearth of ROMs for the i9100 dude. Try a couple out and see if those help. If its stability you're after, maybe use an ICS Rom rather than JB.
15% in 20 mins isn't normal even for a first day..you sure it isn't a faulty battery right? Was it giving decent life before you switched to this ROM?
Try downloading a calibration app and see what the voltage is when it says its charged 100%. Should be around 4100-4200 mAh.
As for the lags and freezes, did you wipe data, cache etc before you installed this Rom?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I had cleared the cache in settings before installing. Like I said, my first time doing this. Seemed straight forward at the time.
Since my phone is unlocked, will it return to ics4.0.3 which is what I had before?
Battery calibration app is showing 4161mv.
Will a factory reset help?
Thanks for all the help, site can be a bit confusing sometimes lol.

Cache from settings? No. I meant clearing cache from the CWM recovery menu. If you installed the ROM via CWM, that is.
If you did, I'd suggest reinstalling it again via cwm this time clearing data, cache and dalvik cache.
Ok..I just realised I totally assumed you'd installed it using CWM. Not sure if you did.
You can return to 4.0.3 if you want. Download stock firmware from sammobile.com and install it via Odin. I'm sure there's a guide on how to do that somewhere on this site.
Just noticed someone posted instructions on maximising battery. Did you use those? It could explain the freezes if they started after that. Some phones just can't handle undervolting etc.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Morning, I downloaded some battery managers and seems to be working better and faster. Battery discharged 27% in 5 hours.
Will see how it goes over the next couple of days.
Teaches me a lesson to do my research first lol.
Below is a screen shot of the apps I installed.
Thanks and gave a great day!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Haha that's a lotta apps just to save battery. As long as it helps eh? 27% in 5 hours is pretty acceptable for moderately heavy use. Depends on your signal strength and whether you're using data or on WiFi etc.

Hi,
I have recently (half a week ago) updated my SII to Jelly Bean from ICS. It's fully stock without root. However, I noticed right away that the battery started draining very quickly and the phone sometimes gets hot. Did a factory reset. Factory reset the phone and format the internal SD and remove the external SD. Didn't help in the slightest. Phone starts draining after resetting. I have tried to flash another stock JB ROM (XEU) and afterwards factory reset the phone again. No dice. I installed CPU Spy to see CPU consumption and it says the phone didn't go into deep sleep at all and 95% of the time it was at 200 Mhz over an 8 hour period or so. So there's a wakelock that's keeping the phone continuously on.
At first, "Media" in battery settings in Settings was the culprit, it drained about 50% of the battery. I have searched the web and it's a pretty common battery drain on JB. I did try to disable the service and its battery consumption went down dramatically. But for some reason it turned on again. But right now Android OS and Android System are both draining most of the battery. I have also installed BetterBatteryStats and according to that app there is a partial wakelock called "NlpWakeLock" by Google Services that's draining most of the battery. Last night, around 60% of the battery got drained overnight (80% > 23% to be precise). Which, clearly, is unacceptable.
I'm at my wits end. I have no idea how to solve this and because I really like the new JB features I don't want to go back to ICS (I did a fresh ICS install and the battery drained 2% overnight which is how it's supposed to be).
If there's any information you need to know let me know. Any help is appreciated!
Go back to GB with speedmod kernel is an option.

Do you mean going back to Gingerbread? I haven't figured out what the speedmod kernel is yet but if I were to switch back I would rather switch back to ICS. But preferably I'd stick to JB since I do love all the new features and options. I'm willing to flash another JB ROM without the battery drain issue. However, all stock ROMs that I have tried had the issue.
Do you know of any good JB ROM? I prefer to keep it as stock as possible. I did root when I had ICS installed though.
Battery Drainage is very common in JB Stock

Hey Kaigo ,
I have faced the same problem as you have faced ... Gone through a lot of problems to fix this Many of the Stock JB's for GS2 are having a lot of issues with the battery drainage
Well I had found a solution to this problem You can try installing the JB France update (XEF) & the UAE update (XSG)
It worked pretty well for me Try it and let me know if it worked for you

Well repeating other peoples posts isnt helping anybody.
An update. I've installed the XEF update initially it had the same draining issue. However, I've also cleared cache and data in recovery mode and it seems to have solved most of the issue. I've got pretty good battery life now (about 1%/h idle).
But I did find another culprit draining the battery which is Dropbox. According to BBS the processes "wlan_rx_wake" and "h2_hsic" were draining the battery but I've uninstalled Dropbox now and it seems to have solved the issue. I really use Dropbox regularly though. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that?
Thanks for the help so far everyone! :laugh:

I have always had that feature disabled since I don't want to use it anyway. I have no clue what could be causing it. I want to use a packet sniffer to see what is sending and receiving data but the phone isn't rooted so I can't really do that unfortunately.
Hold on, I'ma freeze it with TiBu.
Test time.
PS: You really need to root that phone.
Sent from...this is not even my S2
I just greenify Dropbox (actually, all apps which rely on an internet connection). Unfortunately for you, it requires root. IMHO, almost worth rooting for, although there's many better reasons than that.
Greenify is almost like a temporary freezing of the app, by stopping all background processes for the app. They automatically restart when you launch the app, and automatically turn off when the phone goes to deep sleep.

An update. I've installed the XEF update initially it had the same draining issue. However, I've also cleared cache and data in recovery mode and it seems to have solved most of the issue. I've got pretty good battery life now (about 1%/h idle).
But I did find another culprit draining the battery which is Dropbox. According to BBS the processes "wlan_rx_wake" and "h2_hsic" were draining the battery but I've uninstalled Dropbox now and it seems to have solved the issue. I really use Dropbox regularly though. Anyone got any idea what could be causing that?
Thanks for the help so far everyone! :laugh:

Wow
Im glad the XEF update helped
Well Dropbox always keeps on syncing stuff from the cloud and that might the real cause You should disable all the automatic syncing and keep it to manual sync as it syncs only on your commands and saves your battery!!

Check how much data is being downloaded. If a lot is being downloaded off WiFi, switch it off and see if that stops your drain. Then switch off Data on your cellular. Just to check which one's causing the drain. Believe it or not, I just rebooted my home wifi router and battery drain issue was over on my Galaxy S2.

I had previously rooted my phone when I was on ICS. I never used it too often though. I wanted to use Nandroid. I have no clue how to root JB though, without flashing a modded kernel (which I did with ICS).

That's very interesting. This might just be a good reason to root the phone. So I can use network log or shark to see which apps are sending and/or receiving data. I have this feeling Dropbox is going to be one of them..

I just greenify Dropbox (actually, all apps which rely on an internet connection). Unfortunately for you, it requires root. IMHO, almost worth rooting for, although there's many better reasons than that.
Greenify is almost like a temporary freezing of the app, by stopping all background processes for the app. They automatically restart when you launch the app, and automatically turn off when the phone goes to deep sleep.

Hmm, but I guess that you can't really freeze apps like Whatsapp, since you wouldn't be able to receive any messages then until you turn on your phone. But I'm getting convinced to root the phone again so I'm definitely going to give it a try.
So this started happening out of nowhere yesterday. All of a sudden the phone started getting VERY hot and draining battery like crazy. My first thought was to check battery stats and see if a new app update was draining battery, but nothing out of the ordinary. So I powered the phone off to let it cool down. Weirdest thing I've seen, but it stayed hot for over an hour while turned off, and when I turned back on it had drained over 70% battery. I did a full wipe to try to resolve the issue but no luck.
Seems like it's a hardware problem at this point but I was hoping somebody might be able to offer some insight. Any ideas? Thanks!

Mine did this for a while while I was trying out the stock firmware. It got so hot it burned. So I contacted HTC and they said 270$ to fix it. I didn't bother with them and Verizon just wanted me to use their edge program. Instead I flashed Viper room and the issue stopped. Haven't had any issues since then regarding battery drain or over heating. What are you running for software. If your running stock try a custom rom. Also to help battery I recommend using greenify it makes a big difference.

I'm running CM11 and have been for months. I'll try flashing over a Sense ROM and see if it makes any difference.
The thing that gets me is it happens even when I'm booted into recovery, so it shouldn't matter what ROM is installed on it.

It's probably hardware related then. If your within the 1 year warranty HTC will replace it. If not your gonna have to pay to get it fixed or maybe Verizon can help you out.
