Title: Samsung Galaxy S2 and Jelly Bean
Post by: pumbaa on Saturday, July 27, 2013, 19:52:34
Ever since I 'upgraded' to Jelly Bean, my Galaxy S2 has gone from being a great phone to an utter turd. Battery life is now almost non-existent (was fine before upgrading) and barely lasts the day - I'd normally end up with about 70% left, now I'm pretty much always down to single figures, even with very light use.

Any other S2 owners having the same problem? Is there a solution?

Back everything up (SMS may be tricky) and try a factory reset.

Check the phone is going into deep sleep when it's not being used. Could be a rogue app keeping the CPU awake which will drain the battery.

Will tell you what 'wakelock' is keeping the phone from going into deep sleep.

Right, CPU Spy tells me the phone is in a deep sleep for 20% of the time, and running at 200 MHz for 58%. Remainder of states are <10% each. I'm guessing I have a wakelock then?

Yeah definitely something preventing it from deep sleeping. Install the other app I linked to, leave the phone for an hour or so and then take a look at partial wakelocks.
