Please help me guys battery drain occurs after every single second and help me with the heat up issue too im really worried
Hi, I flashed the Malice II Beta ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 last week. I love the ROM, but one major problem is that the battery drains extremely quickly. With data and wifi on, I lose one percent per every 2 minutes, and that's without apps open. Might I point out that I did calibrate my battery and the Malice ROM is said to increase battery life. I am currently going to flash on a different ROM (Juggernaut) and see if the problem persists.
Hi All,
I'm noticing that Cell Standby is taking up a large % of the battery on LiquidSmooth RC7 ROM. Is anybody else noticing this?
Is this due to the same issue with where the power_profile.xml file is set to use 34 mA instead of 3.4 mA?
Is there a proper zip file to fix this issue if so? I know there have been some in the past but not sure if they work for AOSP ROMs and more specifically for LiquidSmooth RC7 ROM.
Thanks.
a little off topic.. but how are you getting 16 hours without a charge and still at half battery %?
i have the processor governor on Powersave and i'm a heavy user of my phone on liquidsmooth RC7 and i barely get 10% of battery life an hour.

Your cell standby is not high... By the looks of it you were on wifi and didn't use your phone that much because you have 16 hours on without a charge and still have a lot of juice left... From what I understand cell standby goes up the less you use the phone...so it looks normal to me imo but I'm no expert

pschatz12 is right that I was barely using the phone besides talking to my wife when I was driving home. In regard to the processor governor, I never changed the settings after flashing so it's whatever the default is. However, I don't believe it is correct that cell standby would take up the most power without that cell standby power drain bug because I used to have this same issue on regular ICS stock ROM and it was fixed when I updated the power_profile.xml file that is located within the framework-res.apk file in /system/framework.
The problem is, you have to recompile the file or it won't work properly and could potentially soft brick the phone which has happened to me before.
As a result, I'm asking if anybody else on LiquidSmooth RC7 rom is noticing this Cell Standby power drain issue because I don't think it should be normal and is something that the developers should potentially look at fixing.
In terms of battery life I get on this ROM, I have let it sit without using it for 2 days and 2 hours (so 50+ hours) and when I looked at the phone it still had 26% battery left so it's pretty good. However, I just don't like seeing Cell Standby take up so much battery life and it just reminds me of the Cell Standby power drain issue mentioned in this post on the original ICS ROM:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...ii-cell-standby-power-drain-issue-identified/
I am currently with RealICS rom and MESA kernel but it seems the battery is draining way too fast, especially when in call, after 4-5 minutes it drains like 2-3%.
So please tell me if GB would be better for the battery life, or it all depends on the kernel?
I would like to know that too. What kernel and ROM should I use to have best battery life. I use GPS allot and it drains battery pretty fast. Thanks!
I've had 0,3-0,5% battery drain per hour (in standby) on stock 4.3 Jelly Bean. After update to KitKat, my battery started to drain faster and it was somewhere around 1,0-1,5%/h so I downgraded back to the Jelly Bean and all was normal again. Now, I updated to 5.1.1 AOSP Lollipop and even with everything off and all battery friendly settings, I'm experiencing exactly the same issue: 1,0-1,5% battery drain/h. I've made a new record with 14,5 days of battery life with light use (on 4.3) and now it's not possible to go over 4-5 days in IDLE ! I've made a factory reset/wiped everything. How is it possible that Lollipop causes me this battery drain when Jelly Bean didn't do it ?
I monitored my battery with wakelock detectors for 3 days but there is no wakelocks and device is (as apps said) in deepsleep most of the time.
Any suggestions ? I like new system but with this terrible battery life it's really annoying.

Terrible battery life would be less than 10-12 hours for me with mixed use. What do you use your smartphone (more like pocket computer nowadays) for anyway? 14 days of standby probably means not touching it at all, so why bother switching it on?
lp make more use of battery and processor , the only thing that I can do, to got a good time of battery is turn off all animations , in the OP you say "AOSP" you use a rom? the last build of alberto have battery drain , y recomend aosparadox is really cool
@davider222
I also want a great battery life. Do you know where can I download Android 4.3 for Moto G ? Beacuse I can't find any .zip costum ROM or Motorola ROM.
@Eurofighter_ty
you can't downgrade from 5.1 bootloader to older 4.3 bootloader because you will probably hardbrick your device but here are some links from xda

@STR4NG3R-GUY
I have 20150909 version, it's also impacted by battery drain ? I have just tested GPS and it consumed only 13% of battery during 6 h long bicycle trip so I'm experiencing only stand by battery drain, normal use is probably fine
@davider222
if you have that issues , why stay in lollipop ?, downgrade to kitkat :3
