[Q] battery keep draining lately - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I m experiencing battery drain lately
I have tried several different rom but all are the same.
Is there any reason why i m having this problem.
Is there any rom that u guys suggest me to use just to ensure that the battery drain is not because of my battery.
I think the battery might not be the reason for the heavy battery drain because my phone is only 2 months and the battery is well taken cared.
Thanks guys.

Have you tried the app "BetterBatteryStats" to verify wakelocks or points of drain?
Without some specific info, there's not much we can do to help I guess.
I only have a huge drain with the stock firmware from Samsung. I'm running CM10 now and that's not giving me any drain issues. Put the phone on charge just now after 38 hours.

Battery drains faster than ever & takes like forever to charge up

Hi All,
i am using a non rooted SGS2 in india. its running on the latest android firmware 2.3.6 (waiting for ICS.. )
the problem i am facing is that from past few days i see my battery drains very very quickly.. even if there is nothing running in background. i am using juice defender ultimate.. i guess its not helping either..
also it takes like forever to charge up.. i mean i plug my phone for charging at 17% after 2 hours it just reached to 21%..
at times while charging it through the USB.. it seems to be discharging.. it was at 37% after some time its reduced to 29%..
Also my phone heats up a lot for unnecessary reasons..

first of all what programs run in background of your device?
second, what battery you use ? (1650 mAh 2000 mAh)
have you looked at your battery if the battery is working 100% or if the battery is damaged?
what rom is running on your device, which kernel do you use?
Could happen from rom. Here in germany the official 2.3.6 update was cancelled because of problems containing battery drain und reboots. Perhaps same stock rom problems in development.

i think your battery is gone. Maybe try charging it with the phone off or something. and if it it goes to 100% u can try download the battery calibration app on market to calibrate it properly. I would try everything i can before sending it back to samsung.
sounds like hardware problem mate, the phone should warm up when plugged but it shouldn't be above 35°C or so, and the slow charge problem could be related
if you can get another battery to test it out, or just buy a new one
good luck
You could try to reset your battery stats before going out buying a new battery.
thanks guys for your suggestions..
i uninstalled some of the crappy apps that i never used.. & voila my phone is back to normal .. less heat up.. battery lasts for 1 day.. hope it stays that way..
waiting for ICS..
@jeroensk - how can reset my battery stats..?
Clear battery stats boot to cwm recovery >> advanced wipe battery stats
But you will need a cwm and rooted phone ..
As battery stats do not need wiping dont worry about it battery automatically calibrates itself .
Some muppets think wiping battery stats actual does something . |It does not play any part in charging the battery or battery life on SGS2 .

[Q] Severe battery trouble

Hi There:
Not sure if anyone is exprience this problem.
My battery completly drains a second after it says is at 40%.
I've installed several ROMS (Cianogenmod 10, toldo's, official) to see if it was a ROM problem. No luck. I'm current in toldos's v7
Installed several Kernels, No luck. Actually i'm with A1 kernel
Tried several battery calibration aplicacions apps. No luck.
Problem presists.
It`s not that the battery drains fast, is that everything goes oK till battery reaches a point below 40% and the next second it says it only has 2% or 1% and can stay there for some time (even two hours sometimes.
Anyone has any idea what could be happening, because i don't think is a battery problem.
Thanks evey one
fault battery
probably the battery is gonna die

[Q] Galaxy S3 batter drain issues

Recently I've been experiencing battery drain issues which hasn't occurred before. When I first got the phone I can go through the day with about 60% of the battery left at around 11pm when I plug it in, but now I have to plug it in at around 8, with 5% battery left. At the moment I'm using omega v43.2, I don't think its the rom's problem because I've tried switching roms and it didn't help.
Does anyone have a solution to this battery issue?
Thanks

[Q] Battery Issue on Lollipop Roms

Hii everyone
I've got some really weird Battery Issues on different Lollipop Roms (CM12, ResurrectionRemix 5.3.5-5.3.7, Beanstalk and SlimLP).
The problem is, as soon as i restart the phone the battery percentage drops from 50% to 13% for no reason.
If i charge the phone later suddendly the loose percentage are back, but the phone consumption more "battery" so it's sooner at 0% as normal.
Does anybody else faceing this problem? Or whats the solution?
(Tried several times to calibrate the battery, and it's a new one ca. 6 months old)

I've had these problems when I first bought my phone used off eBay. Phone battery was very erratic. After a reboot battery would be less than half or nearly 0 even with 80%+ battery. Or would shut down with 5% left. Or drain battery a lot quicker than normal.
Soon as I bought a new battery my problems vanished. My battery would stay solid no matter how many times I flashed a new ROM or rebooted. BUT after 3 months these drops have started to happen again with reboots. Not always like before, but they're happening.
I think it's down to battery conditioning. The way you charge and discharge your battery. There are set ways to charge a phone to maintain battery health.
How does your battery react without rebooting from a full change to shut down? You shouldn't need to reboot a phone with a good stable ROM once you've set it up the way you like it. Also calibrating you battery or wiping your fuel gauge meter to often isn't good practice as android and your phone will do calibrating itself after some time and needs the information that these starts provide.
Battery jumps seem to happen with a lot of S2 users. Maybe a flaw in the design of phone. But good battery practices are important, things like not leaving your phone charging overnight. Batteries don't like being left on charge when they are full. There's more info out there on XDA that I can't remember myself as I am guilty of bad battery practices as I use my phone all the time and don't have time to full charge cycle.
Yes same problem
Battery drains really fast when restarting
Any fix for this?
I am hiving battery problems too. Battery is dropping % like it leaking or sth. Last time my phone rebooted due to full ram and it dropped from 50% to 12%. I left it like that. After some time battery re-charged itself from 12 to 23 % ! Phone was lying on the sofa without connected charger ! Should i clen fuel guage chip or my battery is EOL ?

you have to reboot for example if you install xposed and new modules i've calibrated the battery just 3 times i think this isnt too much?
and i understand the problem with charging overnight but there's no other solution for me :/

Hello, your situation is much more serious than mine. I reinstalled the original ROM jelly beam 4.1.2 because I can not charge the smartphone every 5 hours.

...of course, now my battery lasts 15-18 hours
When it developed a ROM that overcomes these problems of battery life, I'll be happy to try it.

Forgot to say, if you want to avoid battery drops when rebooting make sure you plug your phone into charge before rebooting. Thus should stop battery dropping afterwards.

The battery often drops when the phone hangs at work and reboot from itself so i have no chance to plug it in.
I have same problem, battery drain too fast & after reboot same time battery level is "falling" at one moment twice. At first, I think it's a battery problem, but battery work fine at CM12 mod, and have problem at SLIMLP 5.1.1 mod. When battery "falling" it's not heating, which means no real discharge.
Hello friends I just purchased a new battery this is 3.7V battery
But the old Samsung stock battery that comes with the phone is 4.2V is this ok or this is necessary to need battery is 4.2V im still useing jellybean stock os 4.1.2 but im a custom Rom Flashaholic please guide me should I need a same battery volt so I return it and find another I purchased it from amazon estore thanks for replying

Abnormal battery drain

Hi all,
I'm having issues with short battery life on the S5. I'm getting 5-6 hours tops. I've replaced the battery several times without resolve. I've heard this is possibly baseband related? I'm on G900TUVU1GQC2... what would be the latest version?
Regards
