You're totally right, there is no topic at all regarding battery issue on SGS2 ...
Who is useless ?
Battery drain its a question of reading the varying fixes and or reasons why and trying them out .
The post regarding Android OS battery drain may help or not .

Yes, this phone has horrific battery drain. I recommend you take it out to the nearest field, strap it to a rocket, and shoot it into the stars as soon as possible.
Or, you can consider using the search button or follow the MANY links the nice gentleman posted above for you.

Lol maybe the battery will drain less in an area with very little gravity.
On a more serious note does anyone know of a list with apps that are safe
To freeze or even remove? I've been looking through the above posts for about an hour and can't find
Squat.

Yea I saw. See my edit. Feel silly now lol.
Just do a factory reset fixed all my problems and my phone came with KE7 installed I didn't upgrade to it.
Battery life went from 10 hours to a day and a half
after lot of tests, i discover that was the calendar sync. In idle mode my phone drain 5-7% per hours without 1% per hour.
After I uninstalled all the useless battery draining system apps, my system doesn't use alot.. like 2-5% , but my screen is getting 50-60% everytime!
I allready tryd different settings, but still, it attacks.
Do someone here have a friend with a SGS2 with good battery life !?
Try to change the battery for 1-2 days and see if its better or not, so we can know if its the battery thats need to be changed!!! report pls !

I doubt EVERYBODY that posts in these forums have a faulty battery. It MUST be software related. So many "faulty batteries" would be a great cause for concern.
from my understanding its 50% user and 50% the version of gingerbread were running.
Im coming from an atrix which has great battery life. A little bit of optimization which the great devs are doing is definitely helping.

Hey guys,
I've had the galaxy s2 for about 2 months now and am enjoying it. I recently noticed a bit of a change in the battery life I am getting though, I used to be able to get it to last 2 days quite comfortably and now it seems to be struggling. In terms of recent downloads, I've installed the google+ app most recently, perhaps it's that? I've attached the battery usage screenshot.
I haven't really used the phone for anything so it has been sat idle for about a day and is now on like 64% battery. Just wanted to check this was normal? I swear it used to be better.
Any help would be fantastic.
You needed to post the Graph with the chart. Anyway, download 'Better Battery Stats' and see under Wakelocks what's causing the Awakes while screen is off. It's a fantastic app.
Here,

Hey thanks that's great i downloaded the app and this is what i have found after having my phone on for about a day and 4 hours, it's drained to 50%. please find attached the betterbatterystats screenie
looks like its only really facebook causing any wakelock damage?
any advice / tips? and does anyone know of the most battery efficient to run the phone, any specific custom roms or nightlies?
thanks
Yep, that's definitely Facebook. If you have 2 days with it - it's very nice result, take it easy. You're able to improve battery life by closing facebook agent only
which rom version have you installed?Custom Rom?
try this one *#*#4636#*#*, there is counter where you can see how many times apps started.
Set auto sync off, and take look at your email client(push). Also set samsung apps sync to off.
hope it helps you to figure out what the problem is.
My Battery last at least 18 hours...is it ok??

As you can see from his first post (the pic with the battery stat), his phone was, most of the time, at deep sleep or using 200/500 mhz, in other words, his display was ONLY 18% of the time on and because of that his android system was the big battery consumption, which doesn't consume as much as the display.
As you know, the thing that drains your battery the most, is the screen.
So if you want to get this kind of results like jakecarberry, don't play with your device too much only open the phone when you really need it: voice calls/sms and some facebook, and you will get same results.
When I act like that with my phone I get same results but when I decide that today is downloading-games-and-apps-day, and installing them, I can get max 10 hours.
btw, does anyone know how to turn off the Maps like jakecarberry has, which took 5%.
I never open maps and still it is working.
Please don't advise to uninstall the app.
Thx

If you have frozen it then it must have stopped. Otherwise, go to, Settings-Applications-Manage Applications- All- Maps- Clear Data. And make sure that you have Signed Out from Latitude, that thing does drain battery badly.

I am using galaxy s II. its the best android phone i have ever used so far but the problem is the battery draining. i can only use it 7-8 hours with normal use. please tell me some solution to increase the battery life..
Next question : how to decrease battery life ?
Seriously dude, there's so much threads about battery saver tips, do you know that ?
Try for example "setcpu" or lower brightness or use searchbar to look for more examples. It's not difficult to find solutions ;-)

Here you will find the information you're seeking.
i have tried each and everything, even saving tips from google as well but nothing happens. battery time is same. you guys plz tell me what you did?
THANKS..
Put your phone in flight mode :-/
In other words, quit being lazy & search the forum. There are at least hundreds of posts on here with ideas on how to get more use out of every charge. You're not trying hard enough & you expect it to be handed to you on a silver platter.

What JJEgan wants to say (and actually says) is that there are a lot of threads considering bad battery life on ICS ROMs.
Have a look at this thread:
[REF][Rewrite 26/10] What the Android OS usage is and what it's not
It might not solve your problem, but maybe it helps to understand the issue.

Hey I just stumbled across this thread.
Could use please explain to me what you did to solve your problem? You mentioned something about disabling power saving mode in AOKP.. what does this mean?
I see people post threads of there phone running for 2 days without charging it. How do you manage to keep your phone up for that long?!
I'm thinking of buying a new battery, just to check if it is a battery thing, if the battery is ****ed up or something... The Galaxy S3, should last for atleast one day! and I can't get even that! is there a fix for that? I can post my battery use from the settings if necessary.
I tried several stock roms, staring from BLFB to XXDLH8 leak, still with no change!
What can I do in this situation? Can it be a hardware problem????

Hello guys i have a problem with my battery.It drains so fast and i dont know the reason.I noticed that chrome is using about 40-50% of the battery while my screen does use 36% and apps like facebook,youtube etc. about 2-3%.Whats going on?Can i fix this problem or i have to buy a new battery with higher mAh.I also found that calibrating my battery might solve the problem but havent tried it yet so i give this a try and let you know.Let me know what you think.
Depends on how long you've had the battery ?
P.S - You can't 'calibrate' a S2 battery. It's impossible. Ignore the crap on here/elsewhere saying you can.
Extra P.S - Which S2 variant are we talking about - I9100 ? (Ignore what I'd said about double posting, your other thread in General is sufficiently different, though you'd probably get more help if it was in Accessories).

I have the battery since i bought the s2 which means about 3 years.
About the calibration i dont know if it works or not i just said i found it as a solution on a search i had.
Yes its I9100.You are right about the double posting but i am new here and i dont know exactly in which thread to post so i did post on both.
Let me know what you think.I am using the phone too much if that helps and maybe the battery has come to an end and needs replacement.
Nah it's all good about the other thread, you're asking where to buy batteries so that's cool
3 yrs eh ? Getting anything beyond 18 mths is pretty good assuming you're charging it at least a little once per day (if you're doing a full charge/discharge you'd get less than that), and even if you're not doing that (say charging only every 2nd day), two years is pushing it.
You've done well to get 3 yrs out of it. I mean, you could get BetterBatteryStats & see if there's wakelocks/whatever causing drain that you might be able to reduce, but everything you've said points to a simple case of the battery being on the way out, so a replacement is probably the go.

Well then i feel better now I will get used to threads and all this stuff after being there for some time
Last year i think i over charged the battery because i used the phone too much and the battery was always drained.Sometimes twice a day!
I think needs replacement too.I will try betterbatterystats just to check where the massive drain comes from.
Anyway thanks for responding and helping me in a kind way greets!
