I've spent days trying to root with no success, but this method worked first time.

PLEASE NOTE: The Insecure kernel in this article is not quite right, it won't let you access your SD card after root...You will need to download the PROPER version here. It's from the same guy, just tweaked a little to allow SD card access.... http://download.chainfire.eu/152/CFk@-%20%3Cspan%20class=

Hi, i have problem because i installed a this ROM it's very nice but now my battery suck. Everyday i must charging it. What can i do to fix it?

*bump*
[Defy General] kelbygreen:
Install juice defender and run it on extreme. It will stop everything from accessing the net and other crap thats not needed. mine is on 89% and its been on for 21hrs, Mind you I only made 2 calls and 4 sms and on the net for 5mins.

You could also use setvsel and undervolt your phone but I think that makes the processor slower as well.

I found mine chewed threw the power at first but with juice defender it seems alot better and I got it set up now so I am not playing with it every 5 mins lol
[Defy General] Krisku:
Ok i try it. If i have procesor setting :

300 @20

600 @30

800 @40

1200 @58

The procesor is slower than if i will improve the voltage? for example

300 @24

600 @35

800 @44

1200 @62
[Defy General] kelbygreen:
I am not clued up on the settings only played around with OC and undervolting once but there was no point as you will run at the same speed as stock anyway even if its overclocked.

All I know it the lower the vsel is the better battery life you will get. It will also run cooler as well and this helps the battery if your battery or phone is hot the battery will not last as long.

Undervolting also makes the phone slower so this maybe why people overclock to get it to run the same as stock but undervolted so the battery should last longer.

As I say I only played around with it for half a day and just run stock all the time cant see the point in it with juicedefender.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibmuser2:
Greetings from (cloudy) Germany. Many battery problem threats exist in this forum and the world wide web. Unfortunately most of them reach hundreds of pages and after the 3rd or 4th page it slides away from any technical discussion and becomes very emotional. This is the reason why i´m going to open another one, which hopefully helps me. So here is my ....

... frame what happened:

I own a SGS2 GT-I9100, branding free. It´s almost half a year old. When i bourght it, it came with GB 2.3.4 which worked fine for me. At the beginning of this month i recived ICS via Kies. As a result of this update my phone became super slow. Almost all applications hung and chrashed. So i decited to manually go back to an older FW. I´ve choosen GB 2.3.5, as the look and feel was better for me, then 2.3.4.

... Problem:

Since i did the update to 4.0.3 my battery performance is 10 times worse in ->standby<- as it was with 2.3.4.

... what i did so for, to isolate the problem:

Many threads talk about an Android OS bug. After a long search it is still not clear to me, what this bug excatly means!?!? Apps, which drain the battery are not installed (there are no special Apps installed, except the ones which come with the FW). I have no widgets running and the phone is in Airplane mode. If is switch off the phones display i loose about 30% battery during one night (8 - 9 hours). With 2.3.4 it was about 3% per night. If i use my phone during the day (SMS, Calls, Wireless, 3G and music) it does not increase the battery usage very much. maybe 40% per 8 - 9 hours. I did a factory reset to my phone, installed cpu spy and switched the display off. Analysis show 99% Deep Sleep. nevertheless it uses 30% battery during this time.

In summary:

- German GB 2.3.4 got an update from K.I.E.S. to ICS 4.0.3 -> bad phone performance and battery drained

- Downgrade from German ICS 4.0.3 to German GB 2.3.5 following a procedure and firmware from android-galaxy dot info

- With GB 2.3.5 the performance returned back to normal but battery was still bad.

- Installed German GB following a procedure and firmware from android-galaxy dot info

- Performance was still good, but battery drained.

- Installed netherlands GB 2.3.5 and battery was still draining.

- Received ICS 4.0.3 via software update. Fortunately the phones performance is still very good but the battery drains anyway.

All test where performed without any app installed and in flight mode.

Questions:

1. what ist the so called Android OS bug in connection with battery problems?

2. does anybody have the same problem and solved it?

3. is there any way to recive the stock rom, which came with my phone?

-> a friend of mine have the same SGS2 with GB 2.3.4 and without any battery problem.

Thanks for constructive, helpfull and unemotional technical feedback. If you have further question, send me a PN. I´ll summarize them, and add them to this post. It will keep it clearly and in coherence.

Thanks for your quick reply. I found many things for "Android OS Bug", also solutions. For example: "Disable widgets" or "stop wireless sharing". Unfortunately nothing helped me.

If you kow about the same problem with the battery and how to solve it, please tell me. I searched for it and was not successful.

I know the page for Stock Roms and how to apply them. As you can read in my initial post i did some up- and downgrades. I went back to official 2.3.4 with existing battery problem.

Maybe this was a missunderstanding. I need to know if ther is any "smart" way, without rooting etc., to get a rom out of an existing phone, without the battery drain.

Have you tried any custom roms?

Or contacted the retailer about this?

Maybe it is a hw problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T__:
It would suggest a battery fault tbh.

Flashing repeatedly can put strain on the battery (from my own experience), also as far as I am aware, the official update via KIES did cause battery related issues; I never experienced, but my friends did, and Samsung UK where troubleshooting by, removing the battery for 10 minutes, letting it drain out when put back in the phone, then performing a full charge when switched off. If not resolved > factory reset - which did help one of my friends surprise, surprise lol.

If you are still in first 6 months I would advise contacting Samsung Germany for a replacement battery to see if any improvement. Otherwise you can buy cheap online.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibmuser2:
Hey superthug & T__. Thx for your good comments. I´ll give it a try. One of my friends have a SGS2 without any problem. I´m going to x-change it with him.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibmuser2:
Hey Guys. I made some further testing, but it´s getting more ande more worse.

1. I x-changed the battery with another SGS2. My battery is draining and the other SGS2 is good. -> No battery fault.

2. I did many factory resets, installed betterybatterystats, but it shows no wake locks. all values are below 4%

3. I installed cpu spy, and it shows 98% Deep sleep, when not using it <---- as expected!

4. I changed my FW to:

I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5

ICS 4.0.3

Base: I9100XXLPS

Kernel: 3.0.15-i9100XWLP7-CL340913

dpi@DELL134#3

Build: IML74K.XWLP7

All was downloaded from this Forum. I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5 is the default, which came with KIES. I verified this with another SGS2, running this FW trouble free!

5. When i charging my SGS2 now, it heats up extremly. The CPU is running at 1Ghz while external power is connected (not only during charging)

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dominteret:
Hi,

I am seeing the same issue. I noticed after upgrading to ICS that the phone was working well for a few days and battery life was good, then after I plugged it in to charge overnight (as I always do) I found that the battery had decreased and the phone was hot to touch near where the camera is located on the back the following morning.

I reset the phone to defaults and I was able to charge a couple of times but this didn't fix the problem and it started happening again.

I have tried charging from my laptop, and 2 separate USB chargers with different cables and the same fault has occured.

A reset of the phone seems to temporarily fix the issue and I can charge the phone again but when I plug in again to charge I see the battery decreasing.

It seems as if something is screwing up and causing the CPU to run at 100% when the charger is attached which would explain why the phone is warm/hot to touch.

I'm just testing at the moment to see if I can get the phone to a state where the charger is connected and the battery is decreasing to try to identify the cause. I suspect that it may have something to do with when the phone goes to sleep and the screen turns off so I will try to set the timeout to 10 mintues to see if this helps and the battery starts to charge again.

Suspend Mode bug + linux power management regressions: flight/airplane drains battery

Hi, I experienced a similar issue with GS2 i9100G. I also haven't found a clear and definite answer in the various forums I have been digging into.

To sum it up here's what I found:

Android 2.3.4 worked perfectly fine with GS2, but upgrade to 2.3.6 introduced a suspend mode bug. Basically Suspend mode would cause the system to enter a loop, thus the battery drain while in flight mode.

The best solution would be to downgrade/stay with Android 2.3.4 (when it ain't broke don't fix it).

Possible workarounds if you'd rather not fiddle with your OS version:

Wifi settings > advanced settings > Policy: Wifi always on (so as not to trigger suspend mode with wifi), then (optional) use a Battery Manager App to fine-tune the wifi activation. Wifi always on drains your battery, but less than the system loop if you're not constantly on the move.

Don't use flight mode, shut you phone at night and use a good old clock) (and redirect calls to your landline if you must)

Try and find the apps that require regular sync thru wifi and might be the sole culprit causing the system to enter the loop

Note that Android 2.3.4 is based on Linux kernel 2.6.32 and that Android 2.3.6 is based on kernel 2.6.35 which introduced a major power management regression.

The fix for this regression has not been fixed before current kernel 3.3 (although some developer may have backported the fix into 3.2), so I would advise to stay away from current Android 4.0.3 ICS which is based on kernel 3.0 (later versions will be based on kernel 3.2 though)

I am not sure if this is the root for the suspend mode bug or if both issues are independent, but in the meantime 2.3.4 works perfectly fine.

EDIT: upgrade to 2.3.6 then 4.0.3 really stand as blunders from Samsung on such high-end Smarphones. Regardless of the device, waiting for the upcoming Android version 4.0.5 seems the better choice if you want to enjoy ICS and not regret iOS...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vk512:
Suspend Mode bug causing flight/airplane mode to drain battery

After trying different things I came to the conclusion that it all comes down to apps who force themselves to run in the background when you install them and request frequent syncs (free apps will do whatever it takes to boost their ad revenue).

To me it's still a bug in the suspend mode (Apps shouldn't be allowed to request a connection while in Airplane mode, doing it triggers a loop of failed attempts) and Samsung overlooked it.

In the meantime the previous solutions I mentioned do work:

A battery calibration shouldn't be of much help.

Eventually I read someone, with Android ICS 4.0.3 installed, who mentioned DTIM and explained that changing the default 5ms to 1ms solved his battery life problem (note that you usually set this parameter to the highest possible latency to save your battery on mobile devices)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny5rlx:
this is by far the most interesting battery problem thread i have found in the past 2 weeks. this exactly describes the problem I've been having.

initially nothing was wrong for me either. straight out of the box went ok for months. i'm not sure, but i think it was 2.3.4. shortly after the stock official update (unbranded) update to android 4.0.3 i noticed the battery died in about a day, instead of 2 days.

things i tried thus far:

- flash 2.3.6 back. same problem.

- flash 2.3.4 back, same problem.

- since it sucks either way, i flashed the stock 4.0.3 again.

- disabled a whole ****load of apps i normally use. same problem.

- decided to root and flash dragonICS 4.0.4 with default siyah kernel

- swapped battery with a colleague who does not have this problem. same problem.

- reset battery thingy in extweaks, battery % reporting sucks big time since then, but essentially: same problem

- tried a lot of suggested tweaks in extweaks which are supposedly better. same problem.

- set syncing at a longer interval (even though it worked fine out of the box). same problem.

- disabling all the sensors i could (including rotation for the apps), wifi, data traffic in general. same problem.

- cut the light sensor polling interval in half (from 1sec to 2sec). same problem

- removed the SD-card, because god knows what conflict it could cause. same problem.

- removed sim card, since problems were reported between this phone, android4 and my provider. same problem.

- full battery drain and charge cycle. same problem

problem verification:

- battery monitor widget, which logs an obvious higher battery usage than my colleagues phone.

- badass battery monitor which clearly shows "kernel" and "android system" way up there, where it should never be.

- "system tuner" in the "task manager" section which shows "android system" and "/system/bin/surfaceflinger" using the most cpu time by far

- "cpu spy" shows the cpu most of the time in deep sleep, which looks pretty good to me.

i can see the android system is using a lot of time reading 2 sensors, which seem required by basic functioning of the device. screen rotating and brightness.

i am unable to find out what the kernel is doing with all it's time. but whatever the rom, it's doing something.

ps: not all tests were in this order or seperated as they are described.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuvaDaAndroid:
What does this mean?!?

If you are banging your head because something is preventing that root or hack from working and this error pops up, maybe this can help.

I had a program called, "BlueStacks" running on my PC which is in fact an emulator that allows me to run Android Apps on my PC. However, when you are working with roots, it is a horrible program to have running in the background.

Quick Fix: Exit out of Bluestacks and start the root again. It will run smoothly now.

Also: If you have any other programs like BlueStacks that allow you to run droid apps on your pc, good idea to shut them down too.

Hope this cures for you, what was a BIG problem for me.
