are u using usb otg or similar things? It can cause these wakelock if not ejected or exited properly.

Nope, I have never used it.. I guess it all started when using AutomateIT app.. I had a rule to turn on auto sync when power connects

Did you have it plugged in to the charger whilst it was on? Or anything plugged into the usb port anyway.
What you need to do is: fully charge the phone. Unplug, wait an hour or so, screenshot the categories ad Gaston said, and then we'll see. Right now those screenshots don't mean a whole lot.
Before you do that though, please update the version of betterbatterystats that you're using. That version is crazy old. The newest version (from xda thread) has a lot of bugs ironed out.

phone is charging REALLY SLOW

I plugged in my phone last night and made sure it was charging, so i wake up this morning and i unplug it and it was at 20%?!? So i plugged it in rougly an hour ago and it only went up 20%, could it be that i left the desk clock thing on all night it just used more than it could keep up with and my battery is just super dead? I have also used different chargers and nothing worked.
It never goes past twenty? If that's the case, i'm thinking it may be a battery issue. If you call Samsung and tell them the problem, you should be able to get another one for free.

Are you using the Samsung Charger that came with the phone?
If yes do what he said ^ and call [email protected] and tell them. They will most likely send u a new battery.

Try a differrnt micro usb setting or clear battery data in cwm
"Since God created man, and man created the Galaxy Note, the Galaxy Note are like a gift from God, Randal!"
Verify how much current the phone is drawing (CurrentWidget from app store or a shell script). Even with the factory charger I have seend where the phone will draw less than 400mA (which is less than from a USB port on a computer) due to the cable being used - I threw out that cable. The "Battery Info" showed AC but the phone was only drawing 389mA.
Mine does 1% every 2 minutes with stock charger.

its drawing 6130, but the phone is back to charging normally now, idk what it was but it was strange needless to say...
Had the same problem
I had the same problem of super slow charging a few days ago.
Fixed it by rebooting into recovery --> advanced --> wipe battery stats --> then reboot. Phone then charged as normal.
In case anyone has this trouble down the road...
For CurrentWidget you'll need to set the operation type to divide (/) and the operation value to 10. That will show you the correct charging current.

Try charging phone while it turned off. If it is the same it might be battery problem. And use stock wall charger with stock usb cable. Note draws 1A so generic microusb charger takes twice more time I guess.

Auto power off issue

Hey,
Actually i am unable to understand the behaviour of my S2 my problem is. .
After full charge my phone will power itself off once thats random at what battery percentage and it wont start unless i take out battey nd reinsert it
. But when it starts up there is a major battery drain of min-10% max 20%. . Is this normal??
What can be reason behind this
P.s my phone is hardly 2 nd a half month old using stock rom no modifications at all

People have probably ignored your topic since its already been asked/discussed before so all your doing showing people you cant be bothered to search.
Flash custom kernel via download mode like Siyah v5 and issue should be gone. If not flash whole stock rom.

If its less than 2.5 months old and not modded I would strongly just suggest taking it in for warranty. You might as well use that warranty while you have it instead of looking for tweaks or settings on here.
Other than that perhaps try cleaning the power contacts on the phone and the battery with a Q-tip. Has your phone also been exposed to water, steam or sweat? These can all lead to water damage
Hey thank you for the reply. No my fon is not exposed to any of what you mentioned.
I will take it to the service center rite away.

hey guys as earlier suggested to me i took my fon to service center they ripped my new fon apart after that they told me that my fon requires software update and my fon will be formated. .
but the problem is still there even after taking it to the service center. . what now it still shuts down randomly once for aure after full charge. then only turns back on after batter reinsert or i start it using debugging mode (vol key up + home + power) then from there i choose reboot. .
any more suggestions please??

S2 "powering" itself down with battery drain PLZ HLP!

Is there anyone facing the issue of there phone seemingly powering off but its still running and gets really hot ad you can see in the graph (also unable to wake phone up, but i know its on because it takes a good few seconds of holding the power button to turn it back on so to say) WITH CHUNKS OF BATTERY DRAIN!, ive wiped data, all caches, flashed different roms, different kernals formated SD, calibrated the battery, reset the fuel gauge chip, the lot but yet it still happens and draining massive battery percentages? It might happen twice a day, or once every two days... anytime!

Try using a different battery or calibrate the fuel gauge. Search the forum about it, these kind of threads pop up every other day.

Looks like a lot of ppl are having this problem after going to JB.
I had same issues in my case it was ext sdcard. After changing sdcard everything is fine.
I am having the same issue! Galaxy S2 canadian international version (I9100M) with VirginMobile. I upgraded to stock JellyBean after flashing CM9 to stock ICS in order to upgrade from stock ICS to stock JellyBean via Kies.
When it happends, I can't wake the phone. The battery gets hot. I need to remove the battery in order to reboot. Also, it seems that my device is in a constant reboot cycle. Everytime I power it down it reboots, same goes when I remove the battery and put it back in, no need to touch the power button that the device is already booting. I went from about 70% down to 15%!
I can't post pictures now (seems that I need 10 message to do that).
I tried to remove my external 32gb SDCard. Will report if it changes anything!
Factory reset if you're able to get into recovery.

I noticed my battery appears to have swollen slightly on both sides.
This is a very random thought - what if one something we've flashed (leaked ROM, bad kernel, ?) allowed the battery to be overcharged and has damaged it, or the battery controller permanently? Hence why we're all having problems.
Today my phone wouldn't finish turning on without the charger plugged in, despite saying it had ~25% battery life, it would turn off just after or just before entering the SIMcard unlock PIN.
battery swollen = near battery death

Im also having this same problem with my battery, and I bought a new battery today but it still showed the ridiculous remaining times and even shut down on me again even tho this is a new battery, i changed to JB 4.1.2 when this started happening and i tried reflashing it with official JB through Kies but the problem is still there so it has to be something with the JB firmware itself but what exactly is causing it i dont know.
A lil help with solving this will be greatly appreciated cause it is getting frustrating having a battery at 100% but the time on the battery status shows only (2 - what ever random weird time it has) minutes remaining until it shuts down.

Device wont turn on, except when plugged in

Ok so for some reason now my SGP 5.0 USA will not turn on right. Whenever I press the power button it shows the loading circle then the battery icon. Now I know what your thinking its dead. But it is not! The battery is always charged. Right now it is at 85 percent and doing this. Only way to get it on is to plug it into the outlet and hold on until finally(after many of the battery reboots as mentioned above) it boots up.
Also it will not stay on. As soon as I unplug the charger the device turns right off. It only seems to start up properly when it is above 95 percent battery. If it is anything under I am forced to have it in the charger. I am on PAC-Rom with Sultan Kernel R5b2. I do not have fast charge enabled.
This is really weird, anyone know whats going on? Is the battery just shot?
Yeah, it happens to me on CM 10.1. I don't think there's anything you can do about it, and if you're worried about it not turning on, why not just charge it whilst it's on? It also seems that both ROMs don't have a charging animation. I'm not even sure if I understood your question, lol.

It does not matter if its on. I plug the charger in and taking it out will turn the device off. If I try to turn it on it wont turn on it just shows the battery icon then turns off no samsung logo nothing. Im just trying to wonder why its happening. It has never been a problem before been using cm 10.1 since they first released it for the SGP 5.0 and this has not started happening until a week or so ago.

Do you try to turn it on when it's plugged in? It's probably the ROM that's causing the problem.
Yes have to hold power button for a good 30 seconds it will do the whole battery icon several times on third one it finally goes to system completely bypassing Samsung logo which is weird.

Did you try draining the battery completely (boot to download mode and let it sit)? That has fixed it for other people.
Can clearing the battery stats by recovery work?

I have just tried this with no luck. This really sucks Its hard to install nightlies and turn it off during the night like I like when I can't even turn it back on or have it reboot into recovery. Think I should try flashing stock then cm9 then cm 10.1 in order see if that helps cause like I said been on cm 10 since it first came out never had a problem until a week ago.

Battery Life all of a sudden changed

Heya guys n gals, hopefully someone can give me a hand or some information on what is going on and maybe some fixes.
I have had my gt-i9100 international using the jeboo kernal and one of greeces 4.1.2 stock. Phone was rooted.
Go back a month now, the phone started to turn itself off while visually it showed i had approx 70% battery life left. it only do it if i was using my wifi directy connected to my wireless router. watching a bit of nasatv or on facebook, for like 10 minutes max. it then stopped turnign itself off for a week or so, then it became a constant every day problem, to which 4 days ago I thought stuff it, id reinstall total stock rom and kernel. during this time i purchased a new stock battery which turned up yesterday, i have reinstalled to stock rom and kernal and this morning (with old battery) the damm thing turns it self off, after turning the phone on the battery indicator says 74%.
Put new battery in and leave phone off and plug in charging cable, the charge icon show emplty battery with a circle arrow thats not moving, then flicks over to a 80%ish nearly full charge green fill in of the battery image then flicks off, does not stay with that image on the screen for very long at all, blink and youl miss it.
any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Given replacing battery didn't work, you go with the next logical possibility - replace USB board/port. This has been covered a lot here this year, so you have plenty of info to guide you. It's cheap/easy to do yourself, but you must order the right part (there are 4 different 'revisions'). Search for threads about this issue to get the info you need.
I dont understand how then that the original battery still works, If the port aint charging one battery then why is it selective to charge the original?

how do i find out what revision the charging flex port is?
That's the problem with the usb flex port. You never know when it will choose to work. For the same reason don't use your pc to flash anything till you fix it.
To find the rev version you have to take your phone apart. Click the link in my signature and from there you can access a guide to DIY if you wish.

Firstly install mp3 checker on your computer and copy all your mp3 to your computer and scan it with mp3 checker and if any broken mp3 are found delete them.
For nomedia---you need to search it on your computer with phone connected and delete them
Once this is done I think you should be sorted with battery drain and many more battery issues
