Hey guys sgs user here. I'll like to ask whether the sgs2 battery is better than the former sgs? Assuming using the same usage. I can't find any comparison out there. So please do share ur opinions. Thanks
For me with the same usage and stand by times, I find the SGS2 to have better battery life compared to my captivate.
I have this models, use both and made an experiment about battery life and the facts are:
- NO data, NO wifi, NO bluetooth, NO account, NO background sync, network mode GSM only.
- Galaxy S = XXJVS (2.3.5) + CF root JVS kernel
- Galaxy S2 = XXKI3 (2.3.5) + CF root KI3 kernel
Almost the same usage (only calls and sms), winner for battery life by far is Galaxy S. that lasts 3 days and 18 hours battery life while Galaxy S2 lasts only 22 hours.
Galaxy S2 have momments in day when looses 8-10-15 percents battery in one second without doing nothing like AndreiLux describe in this thread.
Samsung must do something with this!
My friend has SGS1 n he curses his battery life after comparing it with mine SGS2 ... truly SGS2's battery is better

Hey guys.... I was wondering
Did you have Galaxy S before you got Galaxy S2?..... I have a heavily pimped out Galaxy S
Insanity ROM with Damian´s GTO Kernel with 1280GHz and the phone is insanely fast with 3-4 days battery life....
I was wondering if I have any reason to buy the Galaxy S2?.... I mean in terms of speed and battery life?
I know it has better Camera and flash and stuff like that :þ
Thanx
I can almost garantee the SGS2 will be quicker out the box. It will cope alot better than the SGS under load too. Having a gig of RAM is very helpful.
I thought my cm7 nexus one was super fast untill i got the sgs2.
I would buy the sgs2 simply because, if they can make an sgs as fast as an sgs2, then what the hell can they make the sgs2 as fast as?

haha yes, that is what I was thinking ..... think I will enjoy my Galaxy S this summer and buy Galaxy SII when developers have come up with fast as hell ROMs + Kernels
everything about the SGS2 [stock] is better!
but i found that my 'pimped' [lol] SGS1 with custom ROM Etc had a much longer battery life.
once devs get some good custom ROMs on here in sure the SGS II will out-do the SGS1 by miles!
switching from SGS1 to SGS II was the best thing i've done for a while!

Have never seen a SGS I custom rom with 3-4 days battery life, even I leave it in my drawer.

With normal use, turn off 3G/WiFi when I´m not using it and stuff like that I can get 4 days...
I have been using my phone pretty much now, getting 2 days from it easy :$
Hi xda forum users...
I recently got cyanogenmod9 for my phone and the battery life is terrible.
Samsung galaxy gio
Moderate texting
Wifi on but turns off during sleep
No calls
No games
I really like cm9 but I also like battery life being longer

Ok I dont use ur phone so i am not sure if what i say might be accurate. From what i can see, ur phone was only supported my Samsung till android 2.3. Which probably means that your phone doesnt have a proper kernel for android 4.0.4 on which cm9 is based on. So probably the kernel being used isnt fully stable, hence ur battery life is terrible, I would suggest u stick to a gingerbread (android 2.3) ROM with a stable kernel to enjoy good battery life. It could also be that ur battery might actually be spoilt. Is there any slight bloating on ur battery?

The kernel which was compiled for the your phone might not be fully stable yet causing the battery drain. If there is a new version of that rom try updating to that and see if that fixes the problem.

Self explanatory really, I much prefer having stock android on my s3 but the battery is much worse compared to roms running on a Samsung base.
I would like to know if this happens to everyone and the reason behind it since I've read the "nexus edition" S4 actually has better battery results than the Samsung variant.
Many thanks

Samsung includes a lot of battery saving technology in their roms but it is closed source so developers cannot access it.
I run a custom Samsung ROM and an AOSP - battery isn't noticeably different. I also use Greenify and I turn off auto brightness (run it about 50%) & blocki9ng mode. Overnight I see my battery drop by between 3% & 5%. 15 hours of normal use sees maybe 30 - 45% battery depending on how much game versus phone/SMS.
Best battery so far is 54 hours and at 28% - I was in Melbourne via train and forgot my charger. I know it is the TYPE of use that matters but I was making/receiving calls and spent about 45 mins as hotspot to the wife's laptop.
I run GoogyMax, v6.1 Purelook HD ROM and SlimBean ROM v 7. Haven't found anything not working, haven't got FC's.
Both ROM's installed on full wipe.
Hello guys, i took my secondhand SGS2 coming from Xperia Arc, witch gaves me up to 50hrs uptime on light usage, at least 36hrs on hard usage. On I9100 i cant have more than 12 to 14 hours, even on light usage (few calls only, no browsing) and if i get it on hands, i already had it empty on about 6hrs of usage.
Already did several cycles, calibrated using Battery Calibration, reseted Fuel Gauge Chip using STweaks lots of times. No luck. Running Greenify to hibernate social apps and weather widgets. I dont use 3G as long as work and home have wi-fi spot.
On my first dual-core device, Atrix 4G, i had similar results as the mentioned.
Specs>
SGS2 I9100 - 16Gb internal SD
Kernel: Dorimanx 9.38
ROM: AOKP Milestone 2
Any clues? Sry bout the BD english >0

EDIT> I just figured out that i posted on the wrong forum, i had many opened tabs searching for information, sorry about this. Could a mod fix my mistake? Thanks in advance.
My little sister has been using SGS2 (GT-I9100) For about 1,5 years now after I got myself an S5 so the phone is couple years old. Yesterday the phone started holding battery very poorly (see image below). I tried another batterry, factory resetting and dusting internals, no change. The phone seems to overheat at the left edge the most. Any tips?

You should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/themes-apps/app-fuelgaugetool-v2-0-t2262990 the phone must be rooted (if you need help with that MP me) then flash a custom rom , I recommend Revolution Rom as it is stock based great battery life, good performance, and its like an updated touchwiz version so it will look better

edit : How old its the battery ??
