Like I haven't searched? This is a SGSII question, cuz it could be just me, I'm asking if people have experienced this awell.. and all the 'solution' I found here either do not work or apply for me.
And you sir, stop replying and saying useless things.

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

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.
ok so i am on ginger 2.3.3 with a day one x10a baceband 71 rooted with Custom boot loader so i can literally do anything except gain more battery life. i have tried ATK in the past and ditched it for Battery doctor cause i found when you charge with battery doctor i get about 6 more hours out of my phone. ad that to my 1800mAh battery from mugen power and i'm getting about 12 more hours then i did when i got the dang thing. killing tasks all the time deferentially helps. all in all i get about 24 hours...
what i'd really like is a custom rom that is Ginger that's whole point is battery life... i'd really like to forget to plug my phone in and not panic in the morning cause i'm at 10%
i have looked though allot of roms but can't seem to find anything with all the battery eating junk ripped out it seems most of them are putting more junk in
Are there any good LITE roms out there?
Define anything.
Try ThGo2 v7.0
Best ROM in terms of battery.Using it.I charged my phone fully and slept (11PM-9AM). Received 5 SMS and 3 Missed calls,but battery still at 100%.

V3.0.0 is not long last battery life... but V2.1.1 is very good for battery life
Did you check my screen shot regarding with battery life
try team rom it has decent battery life and is very fast and responsive
Sound to me more like it your habit rather than ROM/Hardware .
I wound't begin the debate here about ATK, but since your post doesn't provide any technical info. Let's try this..
> Seriously, stop using ATK.. it would just HIDE the real problems.
> Remove all unnecessary widget... clock, time, weather, photo, blah blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it significantly better?
> Remove some background-apps; viber, whatsapp, skype, trillion, imo, msg, brb, blah, blah, blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it better?
Well, it should... (definately )
Some geeks down here... skip it if you're lazy.
Actually, you will need to understand something that it's not really about ROM.
Most custom ROM provide you some 'minfree' tweak. Let's make it simple.
Case 1, minfree is 60MB (most custom ROMs)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 60MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 60MB.
Case 2, same thing with 30MB (Stock ROM)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 30MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 30MB.
So, using ATK means....you shot everything to pieces, and droid just recovers it back..
or.............................you and droid trying to shot everything down.....
doesn't sound useful.. does it?
ATK is then.. useless.. unless there are some legacy no brainer app eating CPU and tell droid that 'I'm busy doing my (stupid) job, go away and don't kill me'.
Alright, that's NOT the point about ATK.
My point is, if you having too much apps, beyond 'minfree' level, there is no way you can save the battery whether using ATK or droid itself.... ATK just hide it, and make it worse.
This is why most people get a decent battery life with stock, since it provides lowest minfree level (around simple 30MB), with a cost of system performance, which is one of the reason that stock one is the slowest one.
So, what you need to do is to adjust number of your running apps, close to the minfree level.
Or adjust the minfree level (autokiller memory optimizer?) to match your current usage.
So, all in all, if you're using custom ROMs, stop using ATK, uninstall any stupid apps till free memory is running around 60-80MB. This will give you 'optimal' (not best) battery life.
384MB is not decent enough for X10 to become a multitasking speedy beauty with decent battery life.

Try installing JuceDefender from the market. If after trying it for awhile you find an extreme difference in battery life then your problem is probably with one of your apps accessing Wifi / Wireless data all the time.
Another thing that could be causing it is if you're in a very low signal area. Where I used to work, I was lucky to get 12 hours out of my phone. Right now, it's been off the charger for 11.5 hrs and I'm down to 82%. In this case shutting of wifi and wireless data will help.
Sorry I can't offer any more suggestions. Good luck man.
I use battery Dr. for killing tasks as it helps by doing calibration charges when you charge your phone from under 20%. So I get more battery life than I did with juice defender
Also I get full bars on an hsps network at both home and work

I agree, I use JiuceDefender and if you take the time to set all the profiles it will help alot. Service area signal is also a key to battery life. Also try Battery Calibration App from the market, it will reset your battery stats. Make sure and leave the app open untill battery charges to 100%. Then let battery go till phone shuts down and charge again to 100%, That has been the best fix for me, plus Wolfberak's 2.3 rom's.
Ya using wolf note and I'm liking it.it's giving me my 3 days so I'm good.... I'd like to point out that juice defender as a few cool features but battery doctor seems to work better it has full cycle charging built in as well

Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?
Check for wakelocks.

It will help also have you checked what is consuming battery? Do you have data, wifi or bluetooth on?

Yes I checked everything. I have wifi bt 3g off, screen 40% in battery usage it says screen eats 70% battery and the rest is some apps 2-3%
You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it
Xperia x10i
DonutHD
DoomKernel v6
Unlocked and unbranded.. Bye bye vodafone
I would give you some help on it but I don't think you will think that would help.

Check out a poster here who goes by the sadly inappropriate name of TheMegaStar - you two are made for each other.
Original poster seems a funny guy, don't think he wants our help.
Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.

I have been struggling with trying to figure out if the battery life I am seeing is what my Atrix is really capable of. I am occasionally a heavy user, but on weekends I am a very light user. I'll start at 8am with 100% and be almost dead at 6-8pm. I have searched around and seen other Atrix users with 24 hours of battery life and even if I tried my hardest to not use my phone I wouldn't get those kind of numbers. I feel fairly confident in saying i scoured search results and tried everything i could find to extend battery life.
Am I doing something wrong?
Is there something I can do to help?
I know it's been asked before, but I am hoping to get some current answers for this question: what kind of battery life numbers are you getting on your Atrix? Which rom are you using?
Atrix 4G running CM7 RC3. If the answer is "keep it charged as often as possible", it is what it is. It would be great to find an answer to why battery life is so much shorter than others though! Many thanks in advance.
Just noticed CM7.2 stable was released, upgrading to that now to see if battery life improves. Might try a full wipe to see if battery life is better without email, syncs, etc. etc. if the upgrade doesn't help.
i would recommend getting cpu spy and also download and install as a zip 'blue sleep fix' (blue sleep zip can be found in the CM7 thread). This has greatly improved my battery life.

Which kernel? Flash Faux 1.0GHz and undervolt across the board by -50mv. Instant battery life!
Also, use ROM Manager or equivalent to stop all non essential apps from starting on boot.

You should turn wifi off when not in use, that will save battery life.
Badass battery will let you know how you spend your battery by % and let you know which app takes the most battery. (Lets you get a really readable easily understandable battery read out.)

turning off wifi is not going to help him that much. I leave my wifi on all the time no problems, make 2 days light usage no problem.
More likely he's got some apps running around in the background. I suggest he pick through what he's got installed and start turning off the things that like to sync all the time in the background.
I think step number 1 would be to install a non-stock ROM and startover fresh.
Blur-based ROMs (Nottachtrix was really good) then the faux123 kernel then slowly start installing the apps he likes to use and monitor battery life. It might take a month but he's definitely got an offender here or there causing these problems.
also install Juice Defender. My mom's Galaxy S2 was having tons of problems with battery life even though she wasn't using it at all, 60% battery life at 3pm without using it at all, installed that and immediately helped her a lot, like 80% by 3pm WITH use.
Also, clear your dalvik cache. After installing lots of stuff and not using it, it just fills up with sometimes poorly written code. Clearing it always makes phone faster in my experience.

I think this is what I will do today! I'll do a nandroid backup, and try Nottachtrix with no extra stuff installed or setup. I will report back! I appreciate all the help to get my phone performing where it should be.
Just wanted to report in. I tried a clean ROM as stated in my previous post with no luck. I just couldn't get past the battery life I was getting with cyanogenmod WITH all of the apps and syncs enabled. Should I try another ROM maybe?
Maybe your battery is just a bit old? After ~2 years, you can expect that battery life drops dramatically. if you are a heavy user this might happen earlier. Maybe check with the battery of a friend of yours whether it's a software or a hardware issue
Nvmd
You could be right, the battery might be dying.
I was on vacation the past few days so I got the opportunity to not use my phone most of the day (job requires me to use the phone a lot). The battery lasted about 12 hours and looked like it had about 4 hours left. So maybe I am expecting too much, but I'm not trolling...no.
If you aren't going to be helpful, go somewhere else. You could have said "Your phone screen was on for probably longer periods than the average user and that's why you can't hit longer hours". Based on your previous comments, I shouldn't expect much from you though.
Many thanks to all who are helping me. You're all awesome.

11-12 hours.
I also have 11-12 hours with 1 charge. And it is not enough for me. I use only Whatsapp ( a lot usage ), a little bit browsing, 20-30 minutes phone calls. These are all. And 11-12 hours is sooo bad for them i guess.
I have an "suspend linux process" drainage issue. Maybe because of it, I'm getting this result.
How can I extend my battery life. PLEASE Help!
Please, somebody open my eyes to choose correct ROM for battery life.
I only care BATTERY LIFE.
CloudyFlex , Optimus Pro , coudy G3, pardus, or else .......... which one?
ROM choice is less important than kernel choice. Dorimanx, sovaca, and Render build great kernels.
im using now CloudyFlex 2.6 but i don't know which kernel in it. What is your suggest for CloudyFlex 2.6 ? Thank you for your replies.
Either dori or sovaca will be fine. Render is only for AOSP. Just be sure to flash the right version for your phone and nandroid backup first

make sure you also use:
- autostarts: to prevent apps that update/check through internet all the time and wake up your phone all the time to see whther you got a new post. You would be surprised by how many triggers some apps will start and run services in the background.
- greenify: to put apps to sleep while your phone is off.
- check the settings for some of your apps: many apps want to know your location or anything else every 2 minutes and that doesn't let your phone sleep properly.
I use cloudyflex 2.6 btw. My battery does not lose a single % when I am not actively using my phone.
I run Plain-Andy with Render in ART, absolutely zero "battery saving" apps or settings, I easily get 1-2 days without a charge, right now its sitting at 51% 1d5h30m with 2h30m screen on.
I got the same battery life out of Mahdi and G3 port.
Battery saving apps are a gimmick and just more apps to run in the background.

They are not only "battery saving apps", I _hate_ it when apps come on when I don't specifically tell them to... I don't trust them.
I haven't tried without autostarts/greenify, I might get same battery results.
Then again, if you tried with them you might get even better battery
I do have a flatline battery usage when I am not actively using the phone (or running major backups in the background).
i dont like and i dont trust any app related "Battery perf.-Cleaner-Ram-etc" . But I dont know why, i just like Greenify App.
What do you think of Greenify? is it necessary or does it works?
Dont root. Ever since I rooted my battery got worse and worse. Even after returning to nonrooted stock. I regret rooting my G2 because stock worked great. Best battery life = dont root.

May be right, my be not... it's what you think and i respect your experience.
Let's my thoughts: first af all, i use 10c stock rom first and then 20d and then 20c. These are good roms i know but i think that these are only for normal users. Everything in system is normal level with these roms. I dont like limited use.
I want to change notification bar, navigation bar, and some colors... I ve bought a android phone because i want to interfere in systtem when i want.
my test results:
10c-20d-20c = slide photo view(nonstop), screen time 4h35m and 5h40m
In the same way, other custom roms : 6h10m and 7h35m (optimus pro-cloudyflex-g3)
wifi = on
brightness = %100
remain battery level= %8
NOTE: onlly use single Rom, dont any other app such as cleaner,battery saver etc.
If i use lots of apk with custom roms, my battery is getting weak.
You want a rom with the best battery life? Stock! Stock rom should be your answer :silly:

That's just an illusion. Rooting won't affect your battery life, giving root permission to apps would. Root permission isn't something trivial, just keep that in mind.

Stock rom, bildiğin LGnin kendi romu. Daha ondan daha iyi pil ömrü sunan rom görmedim. Eğer uzun zamandır stock kullanmıyorsan mutlaka dene, 3-5 tam sarj sonra pil ömrüne bak ne demek istediğimi anlarsın
Stock rom, the one comes with the phone. It has the best battery life, from the ones i tried at least. If you are not using stock rom for a while you should give it a chance.

They meant the LG bone-stock firmware image w/o any modification.
im fed up with searching rom, i just want to be have better battery life
taking a pictures (10-15), a short video (2-3m), Data open all day, 30-35m calling, messenger and whatsapp all day, this is my routine DAY . I dont want to see %10 battery level on my phone when i come home in evenings.

Stock is definitely the best as far as I tried. But would recommend giving Cloudyg3 a shot, I'm getting great battery with the out of the box kernel.
The whole battery life quest is always a bit hard to measure because everyone expects something different.
I've tried every ROM there is. I'm not exaggerating. Stock will always give you the best battery life without needing battery saving apps. But if you then use battery saving apps on stock it gets even better.
I find the biggest savings are through apps that control how your phone uses data while the screen is off and control the CPU while the screen is off.
But if you don't want to tweak anything or use apps to do so, then a nice clean stock ROM is what you want. Because each dev has different goals you may just have to try each one until you find one that meets YOUR requirements.
For nice clean and thoughtfully tweaked stock ROMs I'd recommend Lightning V4 or worship ROM.

My device isn't great on battery by any mean but with "taking a pictures (10-15), a short video (2-3m), Data open all day, 30-35m calling, messenger and whatsapp all day", by 7pm when I come home from work, it would still have 70% - 80%
