Umm.. Be more specific. What are your CPU settings, how long does the screen light up and how bright, what you use the phone for. Don't just post stuff expecting us to guess.

Set your screen down to lowest brightness you can.
Turn off 3G if you are using it, turn off wifi and GPS when you don't need it.
Clean up your cache using the cache cleaners available on the market, they sometimes work for me.
Try to do this. Charge your phone until on the screen it says 100%. Now power off your phone and again plug it into the charger. In case the phone still shows its charging let it charge. Otherwise you are good to go.
Are you on the OC kernel? People have reported that using a few setting there can help increase battery life.
And yeah, try killing the background apps, ones that you truly don't need!
In the end face it, Ace has a lousy excuse of a battery

Ouch. That doesn't sound cool. Send it for support or get the battery replaced. Sounds like a really faulty one.

Hey after switching off cell and then charging, does it exactly charge battery fully? and how do we come to know that it is charged full when switched off?

No battery can ever be fully charged. Over a period time, if a battery is charged 100% every time it could be damaged. So manufacturers generally limit the level the battery can be charged, around 95%. That's what I have heard.
As far as the above advice was concerned, I have come to notice that the charging sign tends to disappear and the battery shows 100% when charging, but once I turn off the phone and put it back to the charging, it shows that some charging is left to take place and proceeds to charge for some 5-10 mins more. First I thought must be calibrating error, but it was not, happened even after I calibrated.
Try it and see if that's the same case with you.
i had this problem with ice cream sunday 2, but once i flashed cm7.2 by axell it was fine!! i now have a charger at work because i like ice cream sunday tooo much
My cellphone have the same problem, but, instead of being 3 hours, my cellphone works by 5 or 6 hours. I use the CyanogenMod 7.1 Android 2.3.7 and my soluction is turn off all the conection features and when my cellphone stay at sleep mode, I use the EDGE network.
PS: If you can, decrease your brightness when you don't need the full brightness.
Hello sirs, I'm using the ICSunday 2 by Jusada and SlaidFastMod V2. My battery grow up to 8 hours of use, and at sleep, grow up to a day complete without use, and, using 3G. This is the solution.
Install SetCPU and configure it , your battery will last longer .
You could try to use battery calibration from the market

Have you reconditioned/recalibrated?
Have you changed the default kernel from the ROM your using? if so, name the kernel

how do you reclaibrate..i am using simply arabic rom..i am using kernel 2.4.1
Omg this happened to me!
Im 14, exact same thing happened to me. Just last week though i broke my phone and htey sent me a new vibrant. The battery stays at 91% or more now after school doing nothing with it, when it used to be at like 40%. Maybe it's the new battery IDK, but a huge differance.

Almost everyone does it differently around here, this is what worked for me.
Full charge your battery, wait for it to drain (reach minimum 5% or better yet wait for the phone to turn off), now charge continuously for 100%. Unplug then plug the phone to the charger again (its not yet fully charged) after it reaches 100% this time boot into recovery go to advanced and wipe battery stats.
Try the "spare parts" app, it tells which app is eating your power up.
thats exactly the same thing that happened to me.... so i'd recomend you to flash a new rom TRIGGER once you flash it download a kernel from the vibrant developement and its called TIGERS BLOOD and the rom comes with an app called BATTERY CALIBRATION and just lije they told you.. wait for your fone to be fully charged and open that app and theres goin to be a button that says START CALIBRATING and now when i go to school till i get out my fones battery life its only 73% and i play games in it so if i dudnt play games at all it'd be like 80% or 85% of battery life....

I reccomend a very easy fix which contains two parts. Recondition the battery usin battery calibration app in market. Do this at 0% and 100% be sure to let the phone fully charge and die with no interruption.
Next get setcpu from the market and set it to powersave. Those two things should leave you around 95% battery. ROM shouldnt matter as much with these settings. Also cut off your data, wifi, bluetooth, anything your not using.

Try using CPU Spy to see if you're phone is going into deep sleep properly.
That sounds like you got a bad battery, even if the phone is not sleeping it should last longer than that. I would reset to see if maybe your batt stats got corrupted and if that doesn't do anything see if Sprint will give you another battery to try.

Not bad at all for me. Of course it drops a hell of a lot quicker if you leave the screen on 24/7 but mine will still last 5-6 hours while listening to pandora over bluetooth and with the screen constantly on browsing the web. When not being used constantly it lasts a lot longer.
I have confirmed wakelock, started last night. I'm totally stock, no overclocking or anything.
How do I go about figuring out what's causing it?
Our you could just not use your phone. Then your battery will katy all day.
In all seriousness though, if you haven't already go to settings> wireless & networks> mobile networks & turn off always on data. You won't notice a difference in anything except your battery life will increase. Also, turn off automatic screen brightness & set it somewhere comfortable for you. All that brightness adjusting will drain on the battery. 3D movies, pictures & video will drain it as well. Also as someone else mentioned, check the built in real manager every once in a while. You would be surprised at some of the apps still running in the background even though you haven't used then in a while.
Just a few suggestions. If you have ashley tried all of this then wait until e can flash Roms & Kernels or buy the Seidio monster 4000mah battery.

Around 1½ day i believe. But normally ill charge it at night where it has around 20-30% left
edit:
Usage: Music(+DSP), SMS, a few calls, Web browsing (2G/3G/Wifi). Dont really play any games but I do watch musicvideos sometimes which is takes around 15minutes.

Lmfao yeah that happens. But you can get Power Saver form the market. It really works. What it does is clock down the processor depending on what profile you set the app to.
Even though, today I haven't used the phone much and it's been discharging from 16 hrs and it's still at 60% (with Power Saver turned off). I've only used it for light texting today and that's it. 3G is what sucks the battery dry. Sometimes I use Edge only (2G) and the battery lasts me a whole day and more. The other day it lasted me a whole 24 hrs and it was still at about 19% left. I'm guessing the battery can last long or short depending on the usage.

Probably your battery is ruined, and I'm saying it being careful. I also had problems with my original one, they started small but with time they grew up and I had to change it. For me didn't matter calibration or removing the battery, it just got worse every week.
Dear friend, who testing battery from china, is very big mAh. Can we use phone on this one. Battery life really will be a bigger or not ?

If you do a calibration and doesn't work, change the battery with one identical (from a friend with SGSII, dont buy it =) ) doesn't work too... maybe is the charge center from the phone and is damaged; if is it, take your phone to technical support...
I hope you have warranty, and take off al modified ROM's and Root's things.
Hi.
I used Battery Calibration from google play exactly as instructed. Since then, my battery is charging REALLY slow, or not at all. When I use my fully charged galaxy after its charged overnight(connected to a charger) it shows 100%, and when I disconnect it, the battery drops... To lets say 92%. What can I do to fix this?

Charge it till you're sure it's 100%, turn off your phone, take out the battery for a minute, put it back in and turn your phone back on.

It's not possible to 'calibrate' an SGS2 battery.
Do what Donnie suggested, and if that doesn't help, flash a kernel like Siyah which enables you to reset the fuel gauge from ExTweaks/similar app (you can do it from command line as well, if you search the Siyah discussion thread you'll probably find the exact commands).
If neither of those things work, your battery is on the way out. Buy a new one.
