Can someone please tell me how to keep my battery from draining so dang fast I had battery to 80% and it seems to have dropped to 0 like nothing. Is there a good app that will keep my battery from draining so quickly that I do not have to constantly open and say close these apps?
I made a thread similar to this last week, here's the link to it forum.xda-developers dot com/showthread.php?t=747215&page=2 and here's another link I found to help conserve battery life, reddit dot com/tb/czz6j

Hello friends ,
It have been 2 weeks since i got my universal (o2 xda exec) , I have tried most of the WM6 roms here , but most of them dont give good battery life..
Anybody know which is the best ROM with Best battery life? or any tips how to improve the battery life?
I usually read books and rarely hear music and i have 4 apps installed and i find the battery drain fast within 3.5hours. For this reason i turned off the phone and wifi. My uni is a new one , i dont want to have the charger all the time with myself.. I go places , do please help me..
Thanks in advance
battery life is awfull and unpredictable
I have the same problem. I use the same crossbow 2.12.08 version
with update radio ( from 1.15 ) to 1.18
I have a larger battery 3200 mAh, but th ebattery life is never more than one day. Though the battery is brandnew...
Worse is that when charging sometimes it shows 100% but most of the time this drops within a few minutes ( 2-4 ) to 97%
Then after 1-2 hours it is on 60% while usage is minimal. no WLAN, no BT
Also sometimes for some reason the battery is very warm ( during loading ).
When disconnected it turns out the universal is almost empty. Tried to disconnect the battery and leave it outside for 5 minutes then back in. but nithing seems to really improve. Also without memory card the results are more or less the same. Also always I close the applications fully.
Maybe someone can tell me what are the possible reasons...? Is is the software. Does it not see the actual charge correctly? Or is there a "hidden"battery user. Read the article about leds and all that, but this is way out of that league.

I think that your battery is no good. My battery is 2 years old, it's the original battery 1650mAh and the battery life is 2.5 hours with WiFi enabled (internet navigation via WiFi)
If you want your battery to last longer, check the wiki:

Before blaming ROMs check the device with another battery. I had the same problem too, checked several ROMs and even downgraded to WM5 and at the end it appeared that my battery simply dies, while my other battery showed far better lifetime.
You are definitely having a battery issue rather than ROM. I am using 2.1.2.08 also and can get 3 days of normal mixed use from my original 1620mah battery.
Why not try "resetting" the battery, as discussed in previous forums, I for one can testify to it's success.
i have a problem and was wondering if there is anything else i can do to improve bettery on my phone to keep my instant messenger(beejive) runnig for at least half of the

Hi,
Things that improve battery life:
- Drain the battery COMPLETELY until the phones shuts off and recharge the battery with the phone turned off. Do this 3 times. Improves battery life extremely.
- Disable repplog.exe in the notification queue with the comment "system time changed" using memmaid or similar tool (don't do this when you sync with an Exchange server OTA)
- Use advance config and enable all the options under "energy"
These are the 3 things I found in the forum that really work for me

BeeJive IM is a seriously intensive IM product that drains my battery very very quickly. I would suggest using Palringo. www.palringo.com It's not as pretty as BeeJive but your battery life with signifigantly improve.
I would also try using different radio's. Radios can help you improve battery life / signal strenth, etc. Test out all of the Raphael radios and available and see which ones works best for you.

I have tested the theory with draining the battery 3 times to it's complete and utter demise before charging. I found that doing it once worked best for me. Since Lithium Ion batteries do not have memory such as Nickel Metal Hydrate. I have found however that if my battery is acting funny to fully let it die then charge it up completely that it will return to it's normal self.
I have done a lot reseach on Lithium Ion batteries and found it's best to keep your device charged as much as it can and not let me battery get below 30% or 20% at the most before re-charging it. When I do this I get the best battery life as possible and my battery seems to last a lot longer in regards to the longevity of the battery as a whole.
battery bar defect
hello my name is laura and i have the htc touch pro i treid i couple of tweaks to expand my battery life and now my battery bar does not work it does not go emty i suddenly get i message that my head battery is very low and i have to recharge but my bar is completly full i removed the tweaks but it is still not working help
Hello all i have seen those threads about battery life but i beleive i have the worst..!
My battery last from fully charged condition in about 10 minutes of reading rss news!
It is rubbish it is also this shi* after flash. . .
anyone has a nice solution? or knows why is this happening?
i am a bit afraid of bying a new battery, because this may continue.
I dont know why vox is draining so much.
Second problem is that i cant get any micro sd wo work on it...!
It is really awfull cause vox has very little flash memory...
Please Give as many advices as you can i would be really gratefull!
Friendly Akuma.
Edit: sometime it hard shut down and then gives me false baterry indicate...
I was experimenting with battery life since mine was quickly falling down from 100 to around 75-80% within 15-30 minutes without much using the phone. My observations are as under:
1) Radio 4.1.13.47 seems to be the best in terms of battery use and call quality.
2) while charging I noticed the progress bar under "Power management" menu in settings. What I found is it suddenly shot to 100% (full) from around 80-85 clearly indiacting false charge.
3) To combat this I used my vox for sometime and it quickly dropped below 80% and then I again put it to charge. This time it charged normally for say upto 90-95% and again jumped to 100%
4) I again used it to drop the charge below90% and recharged.
5) This was continued till actually the battery was charged to 100% in normal spped. The experiment took some time.
6) Now I observe that the battery is much much stable and doesn't drain quickly and behaves like a normal battery should do.
7) Regarding battery showing inflated level after hard shut down, I think this is a problem with vox (or windows mobile?) and I also suffer from this.
Anyway you can try my method for battery charging and report any improvement if you find.
many thanks i will do some testing and try this re-charging method and i'll post my results!
One more thing I observed - Operamini 4.1/4.2beta consumes huge power - almost 1% gone every 2-3 minutes. Better if ucweb is used. I have just downloaded ucweb 6.1 for smartphones (English ver) and testing. Hope Ucweb will help to conserve battery better.
If you wish to test, link below.
http://forum.ucweb.com/viewthread.php?tid=226&extra=page=1
and some other things are that if you have windiows update automatic it runs as a process and using your ram.
i found out that rss is too
anyway you can check out your processes and some disable automatic update for them to stop running.
i hard reset and it got better i will do some further testing with you battery trick.
Don't try Ucweb for smartphone. The device is freezing.
Hi, folks
These are tips for improving the battery life of your SGS2 :
1.Set the wallpaper , with dark or black images
Use autobrightness or set the brightness to 10%
2.When you are not using data , please turn it off . Using 3G data will suck lots of juice !!
On the other hand Wifi doesn't suck so much juice
Now the next steps are the most important
3.Please do keep charging between very short intervals ,
Let the battery charge drop to 5-10% then charge till it reaches 100% , this will considerably , increase your battery life .
4.Do not let your phone keep charging even after it reaches 100%.
This will damage the battery .
Actually when your phone shows that it has been fully charged (100%),it has only been charged for 95% , so plug in for a few more minutes ,for some extra juice .
5.Do not install lots and lots of unused and useless apps ,as they will not only occupy memory , but will also suck the juice out of your phone !!
6.Delete unused widgets from home screen
7.Close unwanted apps running in the background.
Go to task manager and press the ,'clear memory' button frequently .
8.Do not use the charger of other mobile phones , even if they have the same pin ,as this will slowly damage the battery
9.Use only original Samsung battery made for your SGS2 , duplicate or other battery will not only be waste of money , but will also damage your phone !!
10.Sugesstion are welcome , you can posted it , so that i can add it !!
11.If you know a few extra tips , please post it or PM me
12.If you like this tread please rate it !!
13.Please press the thanks button , if you like this post and if i helped increase the battery life of your SGS2
These things helped me improve the battery life of my SGS2 ,I hope it also help you considerably increase the battery life of your SGS2 too
Cheers ,
You're in the wrong forum, we don't have the i9100
and half that info is wrong
I wanted to know that what is the average life of a 1700mah battery ?
I have this phone, solo one, its lollipop, 1/GB ram , 1.3 GHz quad core with a 4.3 screen .
Its battery is draining very quickly. If I surf over 3g it can barely give me 2 hrs,gaming is worse, only an hour I think. I turned on WiFi and turned my phone into a hotspot and in 5 minutes 10 % was gone. Is this usual for this kind of battery? Also, when I run cpu-z , of shows my battery capacity as just 1000 mah . is it a bug or am I fooled ?
At the time of starting to write this , my battery was 46% now it is 42%.
When I went to service centre they just said that my battery has passed the "test".
Please help me.......
Hi
There is no such thing as average battery life.
Unusual battery drain can be caused by faulty firmware,phone or battery .
Try factory resting phone and see if it solves your problem.
Also check this thread for battery saving tips.

Good day !
Two applications to download and use and save lots of battery life, and give a lot of performance boost is:
Go Battery Saver
Clean Master
Just search on Google play
Hope this helps

And I have answered it. There is no such thing as average battery life .
A poor firmware with memory leaks can give abysmal battery life like yours.
Same thing if you have a poor battery or some defect in phone.
I had suggested a factory reset to rule out one possibility of faulty firmware.
There could be background services eating off your data and battery .
I have listed the thread by Woody about batteries and statistics.
You can read and analyze your battery usage yourself ,to find out the culprit.
Also ,there is a duplicate thread in General Q/A section.

I will mark this thread as completed and close it
