Kernel causing massive battery drain :/

[AlanB1976]

Hey all
As with so many people, my battery is shocking. I got the SGS2 and cannot get through a working day without a charge. And that's with minimal use. Yes, yes, I know I can turn absolutely everything off but the point of my smartphone is, well, to be smart and have the connections I need. I downloaded bad ass battery monitor to determine what is consuming my battery. To my surprise, it's not my connections or any of the apps I got. It is the kernel. The kernel has consumed 80% of my battery, which is now dead after 8 hours. So how do I find what is causing the problem and how to fix it. It's not like I can just uninstall it
The kernel is Siyah 3.2b6. I thought that was supposed to be a good one. Forgive my noobness.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Alan

Which version of the SGS2 do you have? You'd get better responses in your specific SGS2 section.

I am assuming since you are running a different kernel that you are rooted and ROM', correct? Have you tried loading up a different kernel?

Thanks for the reply. I posted here as it was a general kernel query, not specific to the model.
Yea, I am rooted running ICS 4.0.4 (DragonICS 2.4).
I did just download the new version of my kernel in hopes. I got to wait for some more battery charge until I can install it .
I am quite happy with everything at the moment (except for battery) so was hoping there was a way of sorting that out. I have bad luck of things breaking when fixing others so am hesitant on trying different kernels while everything is working nicely.

Let us know if the new version fixes it - if not it would probably be best to move this to the specific section for your device as we have a root section for each and you might get more insight there.

I'd try posting your question in this thread:

If you would like one of us to move it to the SGS2 ATR forum no problem, but like Stigy said, you'll get a better response there.

Thanks. Don't worry about moving it. I'll monitor with the new kernel and post there if I'm still having problems.
