It seems that there's lots of firmware load on your device, due to which battery is also wasting.
If phone was normal previously (before SGS2 v9), then surely it's software that's making your phone slow. Also, try wiping battery status in CWM recovery...
Hope this helps...

1. Wait till pop up command charged in Homescreen when u charge althought it's show 100%
2. What data connection u used HSDPA / 3G / EDGE ??
3. Check our Battery Physical there are inflate or not (put on flat place) if yes possibly our battery is leaks. if not just calibration your battery using 3rd app on playstore "battery calibration"

use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I897 and

your forum for best solutions or a solution from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing.
Solution:- clear cache, data and dalvik cache and also do a factory reset

Ya did that too..nthn is turning out good.pl help me..ime sufferin like hell..havin phone like dis and suffering coz of dis strange problems makes me feel worse..my friend he too has same phone one year older too same rom same modem evrythin s same but for him battery is good and phone.apk doesn't even get awake once for all in usage.

The best place to post is your own forum as given earlier...anyway you can try freeze that phone.apk and use a third party phone app from play store ( like Rocket dialer or others) to see if its the app that is causing the problem or just do a clean flash of another stock ROM, meaning , you will reformat everything before flash, so you need to backup and save everything to your PC or cloud storage .

Phone shuts down automatically and doesnt start until the battery is removed

Hi, My SGSA I9070 which i bought about 4 months ago is doing some weird ****!
Phone shuts down automatically and doesnt start until the battery is removed and put in again..
after doing that it runs smoothly..
This happens about twice every day for almost past entire week.
Note : My RAM sometimes gets loaded up quickly.. like after rebooting about 200MB of RAM is free which after a few hours is reduced to just 100MB of free RAM..which keeps on reducing further..
I am using a launcher(Next), running stock Gingerbread and have about 90 apps installed on the cell..
Do i need to un-install them? or the launcher? [I dont want to ]
Please help..

You have heavy ram usage. U need to clear that. means remove apps. Next launcher takes a lot of ram. Uninstall apps you dont use ..

Maybe you could freeze the apps you don't use often and temporary defrost them when you need them.

u need to root phone to freeze apps. But for convinience, update to jelly bean.. just a seggestion.

Um.. A third party launcher and 90 installed apps..
What could be the problem, makes me wonder...

worked!
I had considered that option before (updating to JB) but have read lot of bad reviews for JB update and since i use next launcher, didnt really matter about the OS..
Any how..
As suggested Un-installed many apps.. some that i didnt need and some i could have done with.. :silly:
but anyway it worked.. :good:
thanks guys for the big help..

Hmm....that's weird. My GT-I9070P on GB could withstand 100+ user-installed apps......

Please help: Samsung GT-I9070 - phone shuts down at 60% battery; Android version: 4.1
Hello everyone,
Hope you are doing well.
I am facing similar issue as nickchets.
I own an unrooted Samsung GT-I9070 (Galaxy S advance). It’s a year and 2 months old now.
Current Android version - 4.1.2
The issue is when the battery is about 60%, the phone shuts down.
Sometimes, the display gets scrambled for a few seconds and then the phone shuts down.
I am attaching some pics of how the phone looks when the display is scrambled for some seconds.
Others, it just shuts down instantly.
In both the above cases, it shuts down like someone pulled the battery out.
The phone doesn't shut down when on charging through AC mains.
I have observed it shut down at 100% charge when it was hooked to my PC for charging.
The issue suddenly started occurring when I picked up my phone 2 days ago.
I have been noticing excessive heating before while playing a game on my phone.
Also (maybe unrelated), someone gifted me a cheap travel charger (the ones that have a battery in them and I can hook it with USB cable to my phone for charging).
I used the same for 5-6 days about 2 weeks ago.
I have tried factory restore via the menu that's triggered by pressing volume up, menu and power button on the phone.
Though the frequency of shutdowns has been reduced, the problem still persists.
I didn't use a memory card but after the reset I've put one in.
As the phone was recently factory-setting restored, I haven't put much apps in (just whatsapp, FB, super backup and click counter).
And not to forget I have apps that Samsung forcibly puts in its phones.
Can this be a battery issue?
Can this be some other hardware issue?
Can this be rom issue?
Is there any app that could determine what’s wrong with the phone is?
Request you to help me on above.
Regards,
Phoebus

Thanks for replying shut_down.
I forgot to add in the details that I had already tried a battery from a friend's phone (same model).
For two hours, my phone's battery was in his phone.. He played songs for two hours.. it worked fine.
I ran my phone on his phone's battery.. my phone restarted twice.
If there is a battery issue, is there any any android app that could let me know that my battery is dead or almost dead ?
Also I read somewhere that trying to spin a mobile phone battery also is a test.. I tried to spin.. it didn't spin.. but applying pressure on one side of the battery seems to wobble it a bit..

shut_down,
Thanks for replying.. its Sunday here today.. no service on Sundays :/ .. will take it to them tomorrow..
One more finding.. it seemed the that the area around the camera was heating up.. I decreased screen brightness to the minimum and to my surprise; its been 2.5 hours now and no restarts.. let me know if this could be related :fingers-crossed: or is just that, God is being nice to me for a while ..
Everyone,
Please feel free to drop in suggestions.. I am reluctant to give my phone to service guys.. its too far away and they would keep it with them for days in the name of "checking the phone and finding the root cause"..

Maybe try to find some temperature monitor app, to see what are the temperatures.

If i remember right, cocafe said long time ago on his thread to dial some code on phone.
Something like *0228#.
Let me search and i came back.

Thanks shut_down and R_a_z_v_a_n for replying.
The code *#0228# works.
Temperature was displayed by the utility. I observed it was between 27 - 32 degree Celsius.
I am attaching some screenshots of the Battery utility.
Request you to help me know how the screenshots can lead us down to cause of the issue.
Lowering the screen's brightness prevented the shutdown.
I was able to take a call for 55 minutes without crashing. The call ended but the phone didn't crash. :highfive:
The phone survived the night and was ON when I woke up.
I increased the brightness and the phone shut itself down as soon as I dialed a number. :crying:
Also another observation, I accidentally dropped my phone from about an inch above a flat surface.
The screen scrambled (as shown in the screenshots attached in my first message) and the phone got shut down.
Please let me know if the above observations indicate towards any causes of the issue.

[Q] Low battery life

Hi, I have problem with my battery life, I've bought new samsung s3 mini and got it with android 4.1.2 but battery life is pretty low, it can't last for 24 hours, can I do something to extend my battery life ? I text few sms messages, talk about 15 minutes, wifi is almost always on, screen brightness is set to minimum when ever I can do it, check little bit news over opera browser (maybe 15 minutes of use per day), also make few call over viber (about 10 minutes per day).
I've read that update samsung firmware via kies can help improve battery life, what should I do ?
p.s. my phone is not rooted if that is impormant, also I am neewbie
Thanks for help in advance

factory reset from settings fixed my AndroidOS draining, had to install apps and **** again but its not so bad.

I'll try that tommorow, yes apps need to be installed again (my phone is 7 days ''old'' so I don't have so many apps)
p.s. did you installed all same apps and games ? I am asking this because maybe some app or game that you had previously installed was making android OS draining battery

if androidOS is draining then it is not your personal apps, its the android system, reset should solve that. disable syncing and 3g when not using.

Root it then download setcpu or free equivalent from play store. Set max CPU to 800.
Install crossbreeder tweaks.
All info is available just search.
Battery life will improve.

yesterday installed app called better battery stats so I'll try this app for 2-3 days so I can get info what process is making problem, and then do factory reset, if that doesn't solve my problem maybe to change stock rom with one that kernel is XXAMD3 (will I loose warranty if I do that?)
p.s. do i loose warranty if I do root ?

Yes, betterbatterystats the best way to narrow down whats causing the drain before you decide to wipe everything.
You'll lose warranty while you are rooted, but you can always go back to stock, and no one will ever notice
Only problem is if something gets damaged so bad you cant use odin to flash. Then you might have problems
to restore it to default state before service.

I'll try it all, just need some time to experiment, I'll post my opinion and results
p.s. I disabled this:
s-voice
active aplications
bh telekom (some app from my network provider)
game hub
samsung account
sns
software update
also all the time I am on 2G, wifi is almost all the time on, brightness is set low as it can be, power saving mode is on, now I turn of vibration for calls, etc

for me, the battery drainer was the Dropbox app(maybe i didnt set it right)....anyways,it wasnt showing that it was the Dropbox draining..i mean after i installed that app my Android OS went over 50% usage while it used to be below 20% on those battery charts...
anyways after i uninstalled it,everything went back to normal,getting easily 1 day heavy usage(gaming included), or at least 2 days of medium usage( just regular calls and text and some viber over wifi)
so, from my experiance so far(have the phone over 6 months now), i recommend you to try to remember which apps you installed last and uninstall them...restart the phone and see if that works b4 you go to factory resets and all that stuff....cheers

since I installed task killer and set it to crazy mode (killing apps every 30 minutes), and disabling many apps to get notifications (list of apps is 2 post above) my battery with medium use endurance is better, it last more then 24 hours but I think that battery could last for 2 days with this kind of use. here is photo from betterbatterystats, is anything unusual ?
p.s. next testing step is to do factory reset or install some other kernel version

task managers drain more battery imo because they wake up the phone every time and kill apps in the background that will just restart again because they are set to run in the background, android automatically kills tasks that you ran earlier after an amount of time, anyway more info here

Install Juice Defender, the free version can solve your problem, increasing 60% the battery life.
Set aggressive profile.
I'm using JD on S3 Mini and Note 2.

tnx, I'll try this app also,
I downloaded ultimate version

did you feel the change of battery life on that ROM AMG1 ? did you use some other ROM on 4.1.2 before that ?

the difference is visible with any type of ROM.
I'm using the last from SamMobile since the first day with my devices...

I've tried also the AMG1 Rom, but i didn't see any difference btw. this and other roms.
I've also tried to use a unrooted rom and there is also a massive battery drain.
now i've ordered a new battery. perhapes it lasts longer.

I do not have this problem, but I use a PL ROM from T-Mobile - AMB2.

I've uninstalled/deactivated already all apps i dont need and i cant do a FR cause i aint got a pc for backup for now

Are you using a stock ROM and Kernel? Are you rooted?

I'm on stock with no root

Yesterday, i've been at 11% when it directly shuts down. I really dont know whether it's a hardware or software issue. i downloaded the OS Monitor app, but it doesn't show me anything speciall. Anyone any solutions? :/

now there are also random shutdowns :/ anyone who can help?
