[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyle.minton:
okay ill be just normally using phone then if i turn it off and on again it looses like 20-30% battery and when i charge it at night it will say its at 100% then when i unplug it its at 90% but if i plug the charger back in and go back to sleep i pull it outs and its truly at 100% that doesn't really annoy me but what does is that when i reboot l lose so much battery is this normal if not how do i fix it without rooting?

PS ive alreadys tried blowing dust out of battery port and battery pins in phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
Maybe a poor battery. Did you reset the battery stats? I don't know if that affects it but you could try that. I know that when I turn the phone off and on, some more battery is lost, as if it recalibrates or something, but definitely not as much as you're losing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumeshd:
Wrong battery stats is a common prob in sgs2..install better battery stats app and monitor what is causing d drain..also when fully charged see what is value..it is supposed to be 4201 mv when 100%..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveives:
Battery PEGS at 100%

I have a SIMILAR issue, but not exactly the same as you describe. When I fully charge the phone to 100% the battery gauge at the top will STAY AT 100% desipte the phone running it down. Hours later it will STILL say 100%. If I go into Settings / About Phone / Status it also says 100% there. But if I reboot the phone, THEN it reports the correct battery level and will continue to do so - until I charge it 10 100% again ... then I'm back where I started!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leachalc:
I have the exact same problem, stock phone 100% never any issue b4 it just stays at 100% after I reach it. Battery life is unchanged everything works perfectly normal it just only reports 100% after I charge up to 100%
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
You folks having these problems should calibrate your battery and see how you go from there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raledon:
I have a similar problem, after restarting it when around 60% it drops to 30%.

It's not an issue, though, since the battery drain at 100-60 is a lot higher than 30-0, so it's quite possible that the sensor in the phone is bad, but everything else is fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Is the overall battery charge lasting as long as it should? Eg 4 hours screen on or all day off one charge?

You might be placing too much faith in the battery percentage and not enough in how long the whole charge lasts for??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caglarbo:
who is faulty? The battery or s2?

I have exact the same problem. More than that, the battery usage stats shows ridiculous numbers in terms of timing. The battery seems to last normal, but the indicator tells that when 70% you have 2 minutes of battery left. It's the same with the overall usage: It says you have been using the phone for 15 minutes or so, although i ve been using it for 5-6 hours.

The battery itself tends to behave normally when charged to full. But drains very fast till 60% or so, then if I turn it off, it diminishes to 40% or 30%. Then it lasts reasonably longer then 100% to 90% and shuts down at 20% at best.

So what do you think? Is it the battery or the phone which is incredibly faulty?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Presume you have wiped the battery stats and calibrated the battery .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caglarbo:
By the way, I am not new to android, I've tried many roms, tweaks, calibrating and wiping the battery stats, applied the tips for better battery life... Nothing has changed. :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
Battery "calibration" is a myth, it's been debunked by Google itself:

https://plus.google.com/105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT#105051985738280261832/posts/FV3LVtdVxPT

Stop spreading myths, people! :D

As for battery losing a sudden percentage of power after charge, I've had that happen in the past... With Samsung stock battery. My Anker battery works fine though, no issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panoramixmeister:
You need to calibrate the battery and it would be a good idea to fully charge and discharge the battery a couple of times.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caglarbo:
elapsed time instead of remaining time on battery!

I just realized that my s2 shows elapsed time instead of remaining time. Actually it thinks that the elapsed time is the remaining time on battery. The battery is at %96 now and it says that there is 1hour 57min 31s on the battery, but that's the time passed since I unplug the charger. I will post some screenshots as soon as I could but this is the situation now. I think this confusion is killing the mind of the battery. It gets exhausted! :)

Is it the hardware or what? As I've mentioned, I did all that calibration and wiping stuff, flashed diff. kernels, roms whatsoever, nothing's changed :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blue265:
I just finished dealing with this problem over the past few days. At first I thought it was my Anker batteries as I am always swapping batteries over any given week. The last few days, I'd have a battery with 100% charge and when I would reboot the device or replace it with another full battery, it would show 70% charge and would quickly discharge over the next few hours.

To fix this, I wiped my phone clean. Backed up all data on my SD and External SD. Then I flashed a stock rom, then rooted and put a new ROM back on.

Since then, its been running clean and everytime I reboot or place a fully charged battery in now, it shows the correct charge remaining. It was a pain having to do all this but it worked for me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
Thats strange, i would imagine the battery would improve over the course of a couple of days- oh well its worked for you tho! Lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caglarbo:
Other than everything else I have mentioned, what about the battery draining rapidly after 50%? Till 50% it seems ok. But after 40% or so, it drains almost 1% per minute even if idle! Is that normal? How to fix it? tnx in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawk22:
I have done all of this and also noticed the time remaining is actually the amount of time the phone has been on. I have trued everything everyone has mentioned, nothing is working. When I do the battery calibration and turn the phone back on, it is at 98%. I have even tried rebooting the phone completely back to original / our of box state. From what I keep reading, it sounds like I will just have to live with this. Also, sometimes when I fully charge the phone, it gets stuck at 100% and I need to restart to "unstick".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkeyWiz:
I also have this super anoying problem.

Sometimes when I wake up after a tight night of sleep my S2 is showing 100% battery, then I unplug and it's down to 25%

I use the app "Battery Monitor Widget" and it tells me that today, for example, the phone was plugged in at 0.17.42 when I went to bed.

The graph then says it has been leaking juice from 42% - 33% untill 06.07.42 and the magically gone to 100%.

During that period the phone have used up about 153mA at 3766mV

Now; At 9.27.42 I unplugged the charger and it fell down from 100% to 30%

The phone also went from using 153mA to using 74mA (right now it actually tells me I'm using -100mA

On a second note; Sometimes when i plug in a charger it DRAINS the battery. I plug it in at 60% and 30 minutes later I have 15% battery time.

I have had this problem for a long time, both original OS and the flashed Siyah-rom.

Once I put water in the USB so I have had it replaced without any luck, same problem.

I have 3 batteries; 1 Samsung original 2000mA battery right now, brand new

1 original Samsung battery 1650mA, came with the phone over 2 years ago

1 thick 3rd party bettery 3500mA, about a year old.

All 3 of them have the same problem.

(Sorry about the rough language skills, English is not my native tongue)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Given you've already tried several batteries, replace USB board/port again given it's quick/cheap (~US$10, often cheaper)/easy to do yourself. Search for KeithRoss39's guide in the General section, has all the info you need. Other than that, your only other option is taking it to a local mobile repair shop or Samsung service centre. If another USB board/port doesn't fix it, it's probably something else hardware & quite possibly related to the water exposure you mentioned.

[HTC Sensation] jitno:
I just installed Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.8 XE

Its awesome so far.

Theres a link for All headphones are beats mod on the rom page but its broken..

Does anyone have the link ??

When my phone boots i do get the beats splash screen.

When i plugin my Skullcandy headphones, i dont get any beats notification nor can i find beats in audio enhancements !!

And im using the stock music player.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

You do not need beats headphones to make beats work on 3.6.8.

I have the same ROM,and when I plug in my BOSE headphones,the beats kicks in.

It will only work with the stock music player ,though.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jitno:
Ohh thats weird. When i plug my skullcandy headphones, i dont get any beats notifications nor can i see it in sound enhancement.

And im running the stock music player !
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I'm not sure why you cannot see it.

I've never seen or heard that problem before.

All I can suggest is to re-install the ROM,without any mods or anything,and try it again.

Make sure you re-download and check the MD5 checksum.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jitno:
Ok. To re-install the ROM, i just go to recovery mode and install it just like i did it before ?

Do i have to remove anything before doing that ?

I dont need to back up... i've already done that !
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It is just a simple re-install.

Have you downloaded a fresh copy and checked the MD5 checksum?

When it all checks out,just run the ROM in recovery as usual.

No wiping necessary.

Nothing to remove.

:)
[HTC Sensation] jitno:
Downloading the rom now !

IT seems really slow from AndroidRevolution dot NL site.

Do you have any alternate link ???
[HTC Sensation] jitno:
I did not do the SuperWipe before i flashed the rom !!

Maybe thats the reason.

Im redoing it now. I superwiped and im now im flashing 3.6.8 again.
[HTC Sensation] jfuolu:
And, what's about "beats" after reflash
[HTC Sensation] miimben:
how ? are u able to get the beats on?

i could enable it when i press menu>sound enhancer>beats from the stock music player

either way, from the notification bar it would show up as enable or disabled...
[HTC Sensation] rdkll:
Im posting this on behalf of jitno (OP)

" Yes it worked. It was a noob mistake by me. As SuperWipe was mandatory coming from a stock ROM.

I had forgotten to SuperWipe.

So i did that re-installed ARHD 3.6.8 and it works flawlessly ! Beats icon shows up too.

So for others facing similar problems, READ THE FAQ FIRST !!

It clearly said SuperWipe is necessary ! "

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Falkner09:
Until recently I had a phone with no search button. this was frustrating, so I rooted and altered the keypad layout file to change the trackball click (a nice bouns feature on phones, it turns out) to launch the search function. However, there was a problem: occasionally, it wouldn't work. not all the time, just sometimes. I figured maybe it was a side effect of the hack, that maybe the stock rom I had just got confused sometimes thinking there shouldn't be a search available at the time.

But recently, I upgraded to a new phone that does have its own search button, a real one. but once in a while, it won't work. the other face buttons do, just not this one, sometimes. this is both when launching google search fromt hehome screen, and the in-app search function.

and thinking back, my first Android was sometimes like that too, but I just thought it was due to the search "button" being one of those capacitive spots (shudder) that just tend to be naturally less responsive at times.

so, what gives? is this a common thing on some phones, i.e. does the function lag or something? to be clear, on all three phones, I never had problems with the other three buttons.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coldfirex:
Howdy,

Yesterday my Gtab started booting up only into ClockWorkMod recovery mode. I know of no changes beforehand.

I have:

1) Cleared cache

2) Cleared Dalivck Cache

3) Reflashed my rom (BL1.2 CyanogenMod7.2.0-RC0 BUILD98 REPACK 2.3.7 GWK74)

4) Reflashed the kernel (pershoot)

5) Reflashed CWM

6) Verified the Volume Up button isnt stuck

I have not done a full wipe yet.

Any ideas outside of trying to wipe the whole thing?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
OK, just tested my Legendary 2.1 set up with Voodoo CIQ detector from the market and it said CIQ was active with a score of 370. So I reflashed K0nane's CIQ remover and all was gold again. It then said there are CIQ components but appears to be inactive with a score of 170 as expected since there are neutered files andf folders required still in the system. Here is K0nane's thread if you don't have the file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340083

It is possible a theme or lockscreen may have restored CIQ components in your system so check after you flash stuff.
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
Keep checking - it will stay inactive for a while, but I see the score jump once in a while and I have no mods or themes installed on Legendary 2.1, so it's more likely that rebooting your phone was what did the trick (temporarily) rather than flashing noCIQ again during said reboot

I have installed legendary rom AND flashed konane's ei22-nociq-signed

but a reboot and it says 170 and dormant

the thinking is that these are false positives.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Well I cleared Dalvik and cache, flashed the noCIQ file and keep checking and still inactive. Went to the Market and inactive still (thought that might have triggered it). But can't get it to show active again. So I have to agree that something is causing a false positive. Maybe this will be fixed in an update to Voodoo detector. In the meantime it doesn't hurt to reflash the file.

typical knee jerk reaction. me thinks you should review the video by treve. while it did notate a text had been recieved, he makes it seem as though it keylogged him tyoing the text or the body of the recieved text. ciq did not. it notated that a text had been recieved. the logging program he was using on his computer picked up the acual text of the message. no carrieriq. check the code on the screen all around where his text pops up.

ive linked you to the exact instance in the video.

[Epic 4G General] styles420:
I don't think it's false, because there are still 3 CIQ files remaining on the phone. These files are so engrained into the system that when I deleted them, the phone would not boot past the Samsung screen. So these 3 files are still being used somehow, and they are accessed early in the bootup process. If I have a free moment to purposely cause a bootloop, I'll capture a logcat that shows the errors generated when the system is unable to load the CIQ files...
[Epic 4G General] AproSamurai:
When you boot up look at /Dev/ttyCIQ0 if it's present, your scores are likely because that pops up at boot and disappears. It's within the kernel.

If you have the noCIQ mod installed or are running a ROM with it removed, it is gone. Period. The Voodoo Carrier IQ Detector app is not yet compatible with the noCIQ series of mods.

Only libiq_client.so must remain in the boot process - and in fact, it does absolutely nothing. It only matters because it's statically linked. libiq_client.so is 100% controlled by the framework-side pieces of code - which are removed with noCIQ.

My thoughts exactly. Not only that, but if Verizon has the "most reliable" or "best" network, and they don't use CIQ, then why do the other networks need it?

Or I could be wrong, and maybe Verizon has their own spyware instead of subing it out to CIQ.
[Epic 4G General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Have you read the articles for WHAT they are collecting? Probably not close enough, because no one knows exactly what data they are collecting, just the abilities they have to collect. I seem to think, this has been highly sensationalized. Just because it had the ability to do certain things, doesn't mean that's how it is being implemented by Sprint.

Everyone is so eager to label things as data miners, and spyware they forget that they cannot actually see the metrics.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
The ONLY Metrics Sprint needs is what tower I am hitting and when as well as how much data is used through it. That they already get from tower data. They have no business checking out what URLs I visit or any of the other crap that can be collected. I already get enough spam from data miners latched onto sites I visit at home.
