Hey!
I´m running Omega on my S3 and I love it but since I first installed it I´ve been having problems with the battery, it seem like it is just getting worse and worse.
I think I am getting 1/3 of what I got with the stock ROM.
Any ideas?
Before i have the omega rom and i have the same problem
i have install the Android Evolution HD and it's very better !!
Problem , Android Evolution HD is a simply rom like the original rom, but you have mods ^^
I have exactly samr situation as above poster, Omega and Android Revolution HD.
But I figure, at least to me, it is possible due to 2G/3G network connection

I've been using Omega for quite some time now and I've tried many settings to maximize battery life like shutting off radio signals, disabling fast dormancy, even using a darker wallpaper to save that extra bit of juice...but i must say this rom just finds a way of sucking all the battery out some way or the other.
I might try Android Revolution now hmm
Thanks guys!
First I thought it was something wrong on the hardware side but now I am sure it´s the ROM.
It´s a shame because I really like some of the features and aside from eating battery fast it also freezes, stops and turns into a brick for a minute or two sometimes. My beloved SGS III is no longer very reliable but I thought those were the consequences of starting to play with the ROM, this is my first time I do something to my Android phone. I´ve been jailbreaking and trying different things on iPhones but never on Android.
Seems like the only solution is to try a different ROM.

UPDATE:
I found the solution and now I have better battery life than ever before
I charged the phone fully and let it stay with the green LED on for about two hours to make sure it's fully charged then I simply put the phone into CWM recovery mode and then Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats.
Thanks.

Yes, everytime after flashing a new ROM, you got to do this and give it a few days for the newly flashed ROM to settle down to be able to measure battery life better.

If I understand correctly, wipe battery stats only remove battery statistics, it does not improve battery life. See:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
Maybe check the Battery usage in Setting.
I get 48 hours on a single charge through configurations on Perseus. I opened up a thread to detail the config.

***NOTICE***
The ROM Manager version of CWM does NOT wipe battery stats properly, as with many other things. What you need is jt1134's version of CWM that is all happy and works and stuff.
You can find his happy CWM here. And here. And also here.
And here.
Big thanks to LegionTHEFecalExcretion for the heads up on that.
***END NOTICE***
NOTE: On current DL30 and EB01 ROMs, you will not see battery life like you did on DL09 with undervolted kernels. There are NO undervolted kernels as of yet, everything kernel wise with Froyo ROMs in very much stock. These steps will improve your battery life in comparison to when you flashed Froyo, but you are not going to see spectacular changes in battery life up to what you were getting with undervolted DL09, etc. It's just not possible until we get undervolted kernels and Froyo matures for our device, development wise.
Hi everyone, I've been seeing a lot of threads about bad battery life, whether switching to Kaoscinate, Vanilla, or DL30. Stop it! Just kidding. There is a simple process everyone should follow when switching between different enough ROMs, like AOSP, CM6 and TW Eclair and Froyo. This is how you retrain your battery.
1. Charge your battery to 100% (when it gets there, let it SIT there, your phone is NOT reporting correctly).
2. Reboot to Recovery and Advanced -> Wipe Battery Stats.
3. Reboot, and use your phone until it is VERY low (5-10%, you can let it die if you want).
4. Charge your phone back to 100%
5. (Optional) Power down, then power on phone. (Thanks goes to BrwnSuperman for this suggestion, give it a try!)
Your battery issues should be solved. This needs to be done every once in a while, especially when switching between different ROMs and OS versions.
User dalrym05 posted this alternate method for retraining the battery on page 4 as well, so I thought I would share it here in the OP. I'm posting this as a USE AT YOUR OWN RISK method, as I have not tested it, and am not quite sure what the *228 steps for it actually accomplish and have to do with retraining the OS battery reporting, so I'm leaving it quoted to dalrym05 for the time being.
dalrym05 said:
Here were my steps to better battery.
1.*228 option 1
2.*228 option 2
3. Run battery completely dead to 0%
4. Plug in and boot immediately into cwm
5. Wipe battery stats and dalvik cache
6. Reboot and let charge fully before unplugging
7. Completely discharge again and fully charge again.
After this you should notice a very nice increase in battery as I did. My battery life is back up to par with eclair.

NOTE: I did edit his post to make it a little more clear. I'm slightly anal retentive that way.
HybridByNature had an excellent suggestion on page 4. If people have good tips and tricks for maintaining good battery life, and they are easily reproducible, then I will gladly add them to the OP here. What works for you?
HybridByNature said:
This might also be a good place to add tips & tricks to extending battery life.
IE
-Close programs that you aren't using.
-Don't leave your camera or navigation running in the background.
-Turn off WiFi & GPS etc when you aren't using them.
-Don't run your screen at full brightness if you can help it.
-Figure out what uses more battery life than other things:
Pandora, internet browsing, downloading, camera/camcorder, Angry Birds etc.
If you are rooted, try and narrow it down to the best kernel/theme for your situation. I've found that I have better battery with a non-voodoo kernel but the performance increase is worth it so that's a trade-off that I make.
Let's hear from our readers: What is working for you?

Would not surprise me if this is all it is. I have turned my phone off at 5% for an hour and turned it back on without charging and then it showed 45%. I know when batteries are low letting them sit a little bit can help, but not that much.
It is just being reported inaccurately by the OS.

Yes, but not as a thread, it gets posted in everyone else's "Why does my battery life suck ass" threads, so I made this so maybe people would see it and try it before posting another useless question thread in Development.
Definitely works though. Did it yesterday. Good post. It has been posted in other threads ... but I think we all know people don't read through everything very often.

I have the battery charger and 3 batteries, I always run my battery low and leave it in the charger for a day.
I did this last night and it didn't work too well for me.
Also, when I go to wipe battery stats in the recovery, it doesn't tell me if it wiped or not, just goes back to the advanced menu.
And also, should I be concerned that when I cold boot into the recovery, it doesn't appear to be CWM? It says Android recovery...I know I have CWM recovery installed.

Wow same here..I just took mine off the charger bout 10 minutes ago and it's at 95% now. I guess I'm gonna let the battery run completely dead and charge it and see what happens.
I did something similar. I charged to 100% while it was on, removed from charger then powered off. When phone was off I plugged charger back in and waited til it was at 100% then unplugged again and powered on. Waited until phone was completely on then unplugged again and connected to charger. Waited til it was at 100% and while still plugged in at 100% booted into recovery and wiped battery stats. Then rebooted phone into OS and unplugged. I had tried this previously with DL09 and it helped a little. Last night I wanted to see how my battery would drain after doing this. With WiFi on and I got about 10 emails during the night, from 8:30pm to 6:00am I lost only 13%!!! Previously I would have lost from 35 to 40%. ymmv

This is a proven technique, and it takes patience. Seeing the battery drop from 100% down to 95 or 96% after unplugging is normal behavior. I've done this already. Left my phone unplugged overnight and lost 1% battery. If you're too impatient to take the time to do this, that's your loss. You'll see the battery life "improve" over the course of a few days as the reporting gets more and more accurate.
Sent from my Fascinate using the XDA app
I agree with supplysidejesus. This is a standard practice and should be done with each major rom or kernel install. This leak hasn't been put long enough for most of us to know what our expected battery life will be yet. Give it a few days for your phones to adjust.

try disabling gps in the notifications, that worked for me, but once i turn gps on again, it will drive up to a high percentage.
hi iguys,
i have some questions about the sgs 2
i got it since a few weeks and everything was fine,great battery life up to 17 hours zith light/ normal use.
i tried to flash cwm isecure kernel to flash roms, all went fine
then i found out rom manager is not yet fully compatible with sgs2
so i flashed back to stock firmware,now my battery life really sucks
with little use i can hardly get 6 or 7 hours out of it
and most of the time its just standby
i have everything off bluetooth,gps,wifi, display set to 10 percent, background sync
the only thing i have on is 3g connection..
i have better battery stats installed
and i see these 2 things always 100 percent full.
suspend/events
no matter what, theres no app draining because when i wipe everything to factory settings or through recovery, the drain remains, even with 3g off
also when i check my normal battery history,
i see 2 times android system in the stats, doesnt one need to say android os ? instead of two times system?
sorry if this is a double post, but i searched and couldnt find something similar then this.
hope you can help

You have BBS installed, good. Don't see under Processes but see under Partial Wakelocks, check which apps and processes are taking the max time. Something on background is definitely going on.

the rest dont even have a red line going, today i swapped my battery at the store, but i dont see any difference, yet, just draining
Nobody else here to help me ?
better battery stats shows me nothing like an app or process
thats really going crazy..
i really have no clue what i did wrong to get this terrible battery life
hmm i really don't get why though, coz I have an awesome battery life with my S2, i got at least 2 days, with alot of calls n txts in between. I use it for my music player in the car as well, n i travel quite alot.

yes i tried, i also tried to wipe battery bin file through cwm, also with no succes,
my phone is charging now, so i am going to check how the battery life is with CM7 or another rom.
do you have 3g on all the time ?
i also have a question about the connections options, do you have an option to only use 2g ? in stock rom, i dont, i remember having it on my galaxy mini
Update, the new battery i got yesterday seem to have no change in my dramatic battery life,
i flashed CM7 build 38 last night,
and still the same, it drains like hell!

Hi there,
just in advance: Yes, I have read quite a bunch of battery drain threads, but non of them seemed to help me.
Compared to GB, my SGS2 doesn't even seem to last more than a day in terms of battery life.
Now I wonder - is it just me playing around with (otherwise awesome) CM9 and battery life is actually normal or is there some kind of battery drain going on?
Running CM9 14-04, stock kernel, LPS baseband.

Awake over 2 hours, 1 hr 43 min screen on, down to 62%. That's on track for 5.5 hours awake time, and about 4.5 hours screen on time. Looks pretty normal.
You MIGHT be able to squeeze a bit more juice out by playing with your sync and display settings, but that otherwise doesn't look that bad.

Did you try to wipe your battery stats? Also, I noticed that playing around flashing the Roms, requires 2-3 full charging cycles before the battery was "stable" again
I've also read the following but didn't try it (I imagine it does the same than wiping the battery stats in the recovery, but you never know, you can try it):
Delete batterystats.bin in data/system, after full charging (with Rootexplorer or another app)
Then, use it until to 90%, and full charging.
Good luck!
When is it a good idea to wipe battery stats? When it's empty or at full charge?

Stats seem fine to me. Your phone shouldn't drain much when idle, but once that big screen is lit up the power drains much faster. The SGS2 stock battery is not huge to begin with either. Your 2000mah will be better though, especially after using it for a few cycles. You can also try flashing a different stock kernel or custom kernel (Siyah, etc).

So charged my 2000mA battery up to 100% now and wiped the battery stats. Hope this helps.
I really wanted to stick to CM9, because I don't wanna do a factory reset every couple of days when flashing other ROMs, because I'm tired of setting up all my stuff over and over again...
Are the other ROMs really that much better? Thought that CM9 would be best, because most popular...

Hello,
After reading other threads, I've decided that I should post my case to see if I get a better answer.
A couple of days ago after being with SuperNexus 2.0 for a few months I decided to try the stock LSS ROM, I didn't like it and went back to SuperNexus again wiping the Battery Stats in the process to see if my battery life could improve (I know it's a myth, but I tried it anyway). After this my 1.2 years old battery has been crazy:
- Sometimes it will completely discharge it doesn't matter at what percentage the battery is.
- Sometimes the phone will shut down like if the battery is at 0% and it won't turn on again, but if I connect it to the charger it will show some charge (close to the one it has before the phone shut down) and the phone will turn on again. After this I can immediately remove the charger and the phone will work like normal.
What I don't like is that just before the phone randomly shuts down, the screen starts blinking and/or the phone hangs (it doesn't respond to the touch). I'm worry this could be damaging the phone itself.
Please refer to the screenshots (there is not photoshop involved, I swear).
I've tried to charge it to 100% (trying to get it as close to 4.2V as possible), I have pump charged it (disconnect/connect the charger until it doesn't drop to less than 100% immediately), reflash the ROM (wiping/format system, data, dalvik, cache, etc. the usual suspects), etc. but no luck.
I know it looks like a faulty battery, but it has never shown this behavior until I sadly deleted the Battery Stats. Will a new battery solve the problem or it will just be the same?
Any thoughts? Any help/recommendation will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Cheers.
P.S.: I have to say that before all this I was running Dori 9.14, but I ran the Kernel and the ROM wipe scripts (I know the ROM wipe runs the Kernel script too) between flashes.

Wiping Battery Stats is never a problem, people even do that to reset Battery estimates, try a reflash and a more stable kernel. As far as I know Dori 9.14 is not playing nice with some people.

Yes it sounds weird that deleting a file will screw your battery, but the coincidence here is huge, that's what I don't understand. With respect to Dori 9.14 (I only used it for a couple of weeks), yes i was running it before I did all this, I'm now running the stock Kernel that comes with SuperNexus (which never gave this kind of problems before).
I also removed the battery to see if it was maybe a faulty connection, but it stays in place very tightly.

The device is rooted, and I've had an battery issue when using Link2sd with a ext2 partition (bcm.sdhc.3 kept the phone awake all time). I fixed it using ext3. This was six month ago, no problems after that.
Since last week, I got this huge battery drain. BetterBatteryStats tells me the phone is sleeping most of the time, no suspicious processes.
I tried with a battery from a friend, no result.
I factory-reset my phone, no result.
I used a ClockworkMod recovery from the time before link2sd, no result.
The battery is still draining like hell.
What else could I do instead of throwing the phone away? Please help!

It most probably will be your battery problem. How old is your battery? I know you said you tried your friend's battery, but try again with another battery for Ace. Also try using another rom. Do post the results. Hope I Helped

His Battery is not very old. And I think it would be strange it is really a battery problem, because it happens very sudden and the behaviour of the two batteries is the same.
The phone is 1,5 year old. I think about unrooting and try to make use of the guarantee or to get another rom and flash.
But if it would be a software problem, at least the recovery should overwritten the faulty settings, or not?

Once your battery gets as low as 15 to 20%, go to CWM> Advanced> Wipe Battery Stats and then charge for 3 hours without a break. See if there is any change. Follow this beautiful guide by @Venomous Viper 119 on improving the battery backup and performance of ace. Here is the link,

Well, thanks for the link. My newest information is: the battery is draining even when the phone is off. I think, either the NSA installed their new feature, or it is relly a hardware defect
