@sid9922 charge to 100% then disconnected charger and go to CWM>>advanced>>wipe battery stats .

@MrFishiz my beta testers says - Speed mod its better for battery but I dont test it I want stay under Siyah . But you can try SpeedMod
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rexboy:
I could be wrong but I thought the new siyah kernels automatically clear the battery stats once connected and fully charged.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
I have the exacte same problem and even worst. The charge time is by far longer (even when the phone is switched off). The problem appeared some days ago. What I tried so far but none worked:

- wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery in recovery mode + reformat + reinstall 3.8 => KO

- change battery => KO

- tried same battery on a stock SII => Battery Worked perfectly

All of these with and without a SIM (no data, no syn, no gps, no gsm, no wifi) and still the same: The phone is heating too much, any battery is discharging very fast and even when the phone is charging while switched off! I don't seriously think it can be related to the kernel when the phone is switched off.

What I found the most suspicious was that the phone call app was using 40% of the battery!

Help would be greatly appreciated

UP please ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sid9922:
I tried this already but same result..ill try to discharge until phone died then charge it off then wipe the battery data.. it takes 5hrs for my battery to be fully charge in USB charger..is it normal?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robertolm:
Sometimes ... any phones doesn't works like others....

Try to install others versions of Rarity with others base if doesn't works fine J1, try KI4...

Or try to change the kernel cos the kernel manage the usb charge...

This is my idea..... only try.

Before installed the rarity i installed the Criskelo ROM... this drain me the battery a lot.... I test the rarity and PERFECT.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
Battery very fast drain (1% per minute) + Phone temperature increase

Thanks to both of you but this is realy a shame that this horrible bug came out from nowhere. Hopefully it doesn't seem hardware because It looks like I am not the only one having this issue.

That was the case before some days it was perfectly working but now it is behaving exactly like for sid9922. What I doubt is the kernel handling the charge when the phone is shutdown. I would rather say it the off charge is 100% hardware or it might be the firmware...

I will try 3.9 and latest Speedmod to see if it changes anything but I doubt that, specialy when PFittech is doing his devs on Syah

Of course not. It seems we have the same problem. For me it was faster before (so I suppose it were for you).

Which Kernel/Firmware/CSC are you using?

Is your phone heating more than before?

What were you doing before it started?

Can you also send a screen shot of battery usage statistics (parameters/about phone/battery usage)?

I have just noticed that the battery was draining even when the phone was shutdown without charging (went from 100% to 19% in 45 minutes) Could this be a bug in the ROM displaying the wrong value or it is also discharging while shutdown???

I want to compare your issue to mine and try to determine the root cause.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sid9922:
Before I flashed this rom I just updated to XXKI4 CF-Root and flashed the rom..then I flashed siyah 2.1.1..that was just the problem I experience..long time charging and when I unplugged, it goes down to 97%..is go widget and go weather widget drain battery? Coz I got go widget in my homescreen but all of them are not auto update.. 1 more thing guys, I already drained 8% battery in 1 and a half hours with no GPS, no auto brightness,no sync, and no wifi..just got on phone data for 40mins and 40minutes display
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sid9922:
The Max time that I've been able to achieve so far with the rom is 16 hours with wifi on and 4hrs screentime..

This is my usage so far..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
I just flashed RARITY 3.9 with Siyah v2.1.1 (2.6.35.14) + KI4 and the long time charging problem since to have disappeared (not tested everything yet but ...)

I don't think so plus you look like you had those apps before flashing the new kernel. While a bug with ROM could be causing the KI4 firmware to behave strangely (discharging loop or whatever). Siyahkernel's author is telling that some mobile might have issues like. Speedmod was said by PFittech to be more stable with battery

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17583232&postcount=2

That's what happened to me even without SIM card!

I have done numerous tests with a stock new Galaxy SII and it directly lead my to incriminate RARITY ROM. The thing I still don't get is how come that happened. I am still suspecting a bug with heavy network usage+low battery that could be the root cause. But if it is then that means I should be able to reproduce it even with 3.9

Try pull your battery n try to uninstall your market update its works for me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mariosraptor:
It is not a Blackberry. Never pull battery while phone is working you could endup with alot of corrupt files.

Of course not! it's the best way to break your Market links. For those who did so you can try to rebuild the Market links with Titanium Backup

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

It has been more thant 3 hours of charging now and I am amost at 100% of charge (97%).The charging process seems to be logarithmic rather than linear following the screenshot attached. Does this make sense?

One particular thing is that my mobile has been doing so with no SIM card, no GPS, no Wifi, no sync and battery usage statistics says 52% for display, 39% for hibernation and 2% for Android system.

4 reason why those statistics look false:

1) it doesn't make 100% (maybe this is because the phone is plugged to the current?)

2) According to the facts, it doesn't count the real usage of battery per process but percentage of CPU usage relatively to the amount of battery used.

3) it doesn't take in consideration that the phone is plugged in regard to battery usage

4) it is displaying 18 secondes of battery usage while this is the last time it woke up from screensaving/hibernation (did that for the screenshot :)

Morality use betterbatterystats

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------

By the time I was writting my last message my battery finished charging and reached 100%. It is now at 96%...

Attached screenshot of battery usage, I can't even figure out what is hell draining the battery like this the only difference is the media server but it is using only 2% of battery. Does anybody knows what is that media server?

Conclusion the fast discharging problem has not been solved by installing RARITY 3.9

PFittech, I realy need your help there...

Hello all, have a quick question..was looking at my phone and as I haven't upgraded to 3.9 yet still on 3.85 which works really well but I typed in *#1234# to see the phone info and noticed that the firmware is XXK14 (both phone and pda) but the csc is xxkk12 does this really matter or can I change it to xxk14 or one to my region (jordan) I did a search but just wanted to check since this is a rom package.. tia

Tried SpeedMod Kernel v2-17 test still having the same issues ...

I think the two last things that remains for me now is:

1) Trying another ROM

2) Revert to stock ROM and try again

If both won't work I will conclude to a hardware disfunction. I can't seriously think that the ROM I have been using has nothing to do with this hardware failure...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Balthazaer:
Hi rarity,

I do not know if this question is technicaly possible or easy to do myself.

But is there a way to include the YouEye Icon pack? ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324336 )

Or is this easy installed and works with no problem on Go launcher ex etc?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
This icon pack is for the MIUI ROM. Integration is possible in any ROM if you change icon manually in Go Launcher (long press on each icon) unless you wright a apk package that replace the stock icons with those one by force replacing.

My disk is definitely not full.. it just doesnt record the call. Is it possible for you guys to post a flashable Call Recorder.ZIP for the rarityrom? i would really appreciate it.

TIA!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
Juste unzip the Rarity ROM version you have on your destkop.

Go to system/app and copy phone*.apk on your sdcard

Save your call logs, contacts, sms/mms before

Then install all the apks

OK Guys, I just reverted to stock and with a rooted mobile and the problem still seems to be happening ... My phone is going back on warranty.

Does any one know how to unroot and reset the flash counter without a USB JIG?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] PFittech:
Sorry for my late answer but I have too mutch work.

Fist ROM cant demage hardware (battery...) damage device may cause the unfinished kernel. If you are using beta kernels same kernel can demage hardware but no ROM.

Second even if ROM could damage the phone should the injured everyone who uses my ROM, including myself. Problem will be elsewhere.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] PFittech:
NO OS android and KERNEL are different things. Kernel (LINUX KERNEL)

Kernel is the base software that takes care of all management charging ...of important functions in 99% if is hardware demage ist for BAD KERNEL. But I dont have any idea where was problem I think Rarity and Syah kernel are very good. Some people write they have big drain some have nice battery I and my beta testers test every my rom before ROLLOUT.

In version 4.0GT is added overheat protection and better voltage management. I hope it solve all the problems of battery.

Your problem will never be repeated although I do not know where was problem.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] grottesgs2:
Battery very fast drain (1% per minute) + Phone temperature increase

From what I know, android consist in:

- a kernel based on linux

- librairies

- a "java" virtual machine called Dalvik that implements JIT

- some programs

I didn't meant it was only the kernel but anyways...

I don't doubt that! This ROM couldn't be that good if not thoroughly tested! What worried me was that I found people complaining at the same time about the same problem, that also included me!

That's a good news! Hope Warranty will replace my phone soon enough to test that! Is this protection in Siyah Kernel?

That's not only my problem but others also. Plus I found people complaining about the same problem on Siyah's thread which tends to believe that the problem is due to Siayh maybe some devices have hardware bugs that don't make well with Siyah. I will see that and keep you informed when I get my new phone.

Thank you for your answers.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vsinha71:
How can roms damage hardware is purely based on individual use and installation. Ugrades of stock f/w can also result in the same. Or as samsung says perioidically it is good to hard reset and reflash.:)

if this were the case we would all be having damaged handsets. But my phone runs much better custom roms and much improved battery. This is validated with tests hence would concludthat the rom cannot damage my handset but it damages other handsets.

been using roms through last 6 - 7 yrs across brands and diffferent OS (winmobile, android, ophone et all. Never faced handset hardware issues from roms and or heard any problems other than faulty installation, version mismatch etc. I am what you call a rom addict and all my phones work flawlessly and better than stock.

there is also no difference on the longivity of the phone because i still have my xeria x1 with spikes rom an it stll is faster than stock.

quick question about the gpsfix.

i recently just fixed an issue where my phone wouldn't even lock onto gps (i tihnk changing the modem did the trick)

but of course, now i want it to be faster so i was thinking of applying the gps fix on the first post.

lets say i do install it, but then it causes me problems...is there anyway i can uninstall it without having to flash a rom again and redo all my settings and themes and all?

similar question: if i do a backup, install the fix, doesn't work, do a restore...will it remove the fix?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bunnybash:
a nandroid back will remove the fix when it's restored.

I believe the stock version of the files which have been tweaked is available too, I used it to fix mine when I was having issues.

Also for those to lazy to go to page 1 to see change log of what is coming in version 4.0

v4.0GT>> Longer Battery life with new battery tweaks & libs + binaries (up to 3days + and phone is cold) ,

JKAY v13 MOD, new FW KJ3,
