what "ahem" apps?

Even with wifi and 3G on all the time, it shouldn't drop 69% overnight.

Nixdorf, check your battery usage.
See what apps causing it.

Also list down things like
ROM
Kernel
Modem
this may help us better identify the problem.

Model: GT-I9100G
ROM: not sure how to check
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Modem : not sure how to check

I seldom turn on 3G and only use Wifi. If I turn on 3G the battery will end even fast!. I leave my Wifi turn on and overnight it. You know when I fully charge at 10am, around 3pm I have to charge again sad.gif I'm wondering how a business man going to use this phone to make call if the battery end that fast!

@nixdorf

Your phone is the 9100G, not the original S2.

So I won't have much experience.

But the modem can be found
Setting -> about phone -> baseband version

ROM
Setting -> about phone -> Build number / android version

Kernel version, besides any numbers do you see anything else?

Is everything stock? If so, then need to seek help from other 9100G users.


Added on January 27, 2012, 10:15 amBtw, have you tried rebooting your phone?

That is not normal. As Uncle Benny advised, check out Page 1 for battery management.

I'm using Custom Criskelo ROM and running SPB Shell 3D launcher. If I off my 3G, overnight it will drain only 1-2%.

With 3G on, it will drain 4-5% max.
I have 3 Facebook apps running, weather widget, News update widget, Flickr photos widget etc from SPB Shell 3D all running in the background.


Your 69% is NOT normal.


If all else fails, reflash a new Stock ROM. Wipe everything and start from scratch. Slowly add back the apps and troubleshoot which is the culprit...or maybe your battery spoilt already sweat.gif

Edit: Mine in the original S2 (non-G) version

Btw, he's using the 9100G, so not sure if all advise given in terms of kernels etc are relevant to his phone.

He maybe on G but he is using stock rom and kernel. So his problem is app related very straight forward.

@nixdorf Install betterbattstats and find the wakelock. Bet its either FB or maps.

In dark room, I usually make the screen red.

Use in conjunction with speedmod kernel with the lower brightness setting its easy on the eyes. Especially when just wake up. haha

Depends on kernel. Siyah no need. Just check if the script is still in /system /etc /init.d. If still there no need reflash.
