Hi guys, a little information required.
I've had my GSII for about two weeks now and I love it. The one problem, however, is battery life.
I only get 10 hours on standby....!
My phone is not rooted and I have not made any modifications to bootloaders or such. My flatmate has the same phone and he can easily be getting 30+ hours with moderate use.
I have read some of the threads about battery life but was unsure if the problems (and solutions) were applicable to my situation.
I have tried a different battery so I know it's not the battery.
All help and information will be appreciated!
1- Start using Advanced Task Killer aka ATK. Try the Free version from market first, if you like it then buy the paid one. It has worked splendidly well for me.
If you want to do it the hard way then the followings,
2- Root your phone, install Titanium Backup/Pro and Freeze/Uninstall the programs which are useless and you don't use. Apps like AP Mobile, SNS Accounts, Software Update always searches for update.
3- Make sure to Turn Off Wi-Fi, 3G, Packet Data, Auto Sync, Background Data when not needed.
4- Try to keep Manual refreshing in the application rather than Automatic refreshment.
5- Keep as low as possible widgets. More widgets equal to more battery drainage.
6- Install an app called Battery Calibration by Nema from and Calibrate the battery. It's a MUST step imo.
Regards.

Make your background is always black based, as amolded display doent emit black color... so your background, message , mail the most you use make it in dark background. This will help you save your battery.
download and try different battery saver packages are available in the android market. download and try them for free and you can then stick to the one best suits for you.
Thanks for the replies.
How is it that in Engadget's review they lay claim to 20 hours of battery whilst using wifi etc and my phone can only manage 10 on standby with no wifi activated and refreshes are set to half-hourly...
Something seems to be fundamentally wrong with my phone.

It's not about the Standby Time, never was. Just check how long your display is on for, if it's above 4 or 4½ hours then you are in good postition.

My phone was in my pocket doing nothing. I was working and used the display to check the time only, about 4 or 5 times.
10 hours is a pitiful amount of time for a phone to last on standby.
Well, do the step/s I said above, do a Hard Reset before and see how you are going.
I'll try it out and get back to you amigo.

I agree with all your suggestions except the first one, it is not recommended to use a task killer at all.
Also to the OP, check this thread, this has greatly increased my battery life.

Don't use ATK, you shouldn't need it
Post screenshots of settings > about > battery usage. Of both of the battery graph and the list of %'s.
Its most likely that something is keeping the phone from going to sleep, what rom version are you using? (in settings>about "build number"/"kernel version"/"baseband version")

A friend of mine said the same to me. But I really don't understand why I shall not use ATK when it is giving me a great result? I tried almost everything before, freezing this and that, uninstalling some apps and etc etc..but the Awake bar was constantly getting on at some intervals, but after ATK the story is completely changed. So I'd recommend it highly

You have the stock email client wakelock problem, as you can see the phone is not sleeping
Upgrade to a KF2 or KG1 rom and it should be better.
Also check out the app safe to remove in my sig and consider freeing the samsung bloatware

You can try K-9 Mail or Kaiten Mail. They aren't bad . But I frankly yet to find a good email client, tried those I said, and also, MailDroid, Enhanced Email, but none of them suited me. Finally back with stock GMail and Email.
***Update from my side,***
Installed Juice Defender Ultimate last night with Night Mode enabled on Customise profile and disabled ATK and at today morning I noticed there was no battery drain, it was 31% last night and the same today morning after 9 hours. With ATK it was around 2-3%. So far so good, but I will wait and see further.
I have a query, does the Preset work in JD? What preset is advised? Extreme or Advanced? or else to save more juice?
Regards.
I've started using K-9 Mail.
Everything seems to be working fab now: Fully charged last night and then calibrated the battery.
Lost 5% in 10 hours 30min with sync set to half hourly!
Well pleased.

The problem with ATK is that is totally screws with 2.3's task management system, also it will be waking the phone up all the time, the longer the phone can be asleep the better.

Goodo! Im glad to hear its working for you.
with VR2.0 the less time your screen is on the longer you will get, some people have gotten 4-5 day battery life with almost no screen time.
The one thing i'm most after is saving my battery
so i gathered up a few tricks which you can use without using your phone like a Nokia 1100..
You might have read many from the below, but some might be new to you..
1) Brightness.. Keep it 0% indoors, 50-(as much required)% outdoors.
You should keep the brightness minimum but dont push your eyes for battery saving purposes..
Use as much brightness as u would need to view stuff outdoors..
EYES>>BATTERY
2) The lesser the eye candy, the more battery life you get.
Ok, you got an android, you want to show off with fancy stuff..
but the more the widgets/apps you use to beautify, the more they consume your battery.
so use minimal widgets (none if possible)..
& DONT USE LIVE WALLPAPERS..!!
they look awesome no doubt but suck up the juice faster than i'd empty a coca-cola..
3)Overclocking..!!
Now different users have different experiences but i guess almost all would agree with the guy who made the kernels..
as fserve says and as i have experienced myself
use
Smartass - for best performance : battery saving ratio.
Conservative - for best battery backup with normal performance.. (multitasking might be slow [have experienced only with Opera Mini], rest all apps multitask with no lag)
Keep minimum frequency at 480Mhz (BEST VALUE)
If you want little more battery keep it at 122Mhz (if you dont mind the occasional blackscreen bug or a freezes/hangs that it might cause )
&
Keep the max at 652-768 as you wish..
Just mind that battery life will depend on the amount you choose..
So if you are a gamer choose high (as for you performance > battery)
all others can go for 652-729 as u prefer..
4) ROM
Now your ROM also determines your battery very significantly..
Every ROM has different apps it runs int he background.
Now i cant comment as to which is bad or which is good, coz every developer has done a great job with their ROM.
But as a general observation i can say, by far
OXYGEN v1.1 (.32 kernel) has given me the max battery backup (even though it doesnt lack on performance a bit)
Rest you should try out yourself for the best one that suits you
JUST DONT STICK TO LG OFFICIAL GINGERBREAD.. NOT A SINGLE PERSON IS HAPPY WITH IT!!
5)No Battery saver/Task Killer/Memory optimizer bullcrap..!!
Its as simple as that, as much you think they save your battery, they definitely consume some to run themselves..
So its best to do stuff manually than install all this..
PS: If you are too lazy you can stick to them..
6) TTS Trick
You must have the voice input output setting in settings.
And you must have the Pico TTS installed in it..
Just tick always use my settings in there..
It reduces your CPU consumption as the phone doesnt check everytime for settings and uses the default ones..
Cant say if this has increased my backup marginally, but meh, doesnt hurt..
7) Games means less backup..
You are on a 10k 1500mAh phone.
So dont expect full day backups if you are an avid gamer..
with heavy usage if you are getting 10-12 hrs backup, you are lucky..
people with 1-2 days backup use phone as a smartphone not a PSP..
and people with more than that backup (3-7 or 11 days), use phone as a nokia phone not a smartphone..
8) Location
If you want to use weather widgets etc. skip this step
For all others, in settings > location & security untick both wireless & GPS options.
You can tick them whenever you need, like to check-in..
Just turn them on and after you are done, turn them off..
9) 3G
I think everyone knows 3G is a major battery hogger..
For calls etc use 2G
as for internet usage
Wifi > 2G > 3G
Though mind that even 2G uses quite some battery as your network keeps searching for better signals..
So wifi is the best option..
10) Auto Sync
I personally dont use this option, coz as i said earlier, i own a smartphone..
anyhow disable background sync option in settings > accounts & sync for more backup..
11) Battery Hoggers
I personally only have noticed Facebook as one of the worst battery hogger (mark suckerberg)
but
sweetnsour has pointed out certain more apps that consume considerable amount of battery. so avoid them..
Google Maps
Task killers
GetJar
XDA
12) TITANIUM BACKUP
I cant imagine my life without it..
Its a MUST HAVE app..!!
you can freeze battery hoggers with it, if you dont want to remove them.
Just defrost later to use them..
You can even remove system apps which might be unnecessary (like car home, gtalk, or others as per your usage and requirements)

Only Titanium Backup Pro has that function. If you don't want to pay (or pirate), there is a free alternative of Link2SD's freeze function, if you're already using Link2SD as your app-to-sd script. It can also unfreeze apps frozen by Titanium and vice versa.

13) AIRPLANE!
Unless you are some hot-shot businessman u should keep ur cell at airplane mode at night.
Not only will it save LOTS of battery on standby, but will save you from the radiation as well if u keep ur phone near ur head..
14) BATTERY CALIBRATION
If for some reason, you are having unreasonable drains and you cant figure out what the problem is, Calibrate your battery.
I recently faced this problem and now its back to normal..
Its free & easy, just follow the steps d developer has mentioned.

How about auto run manager? To prevent @pps from starting up on their own and hog battery? (I use Gemini app manager)

Nice tips but min. Frequency that low... I heard 480 was the ideal.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
added the Link2SD tip..
and as to the autostart up manager, as like #5 says, it might close apps at startup but it surely will consume some of its own, so better go the manual way

yep 480 is the best..
122 though saves more battery, as i have written it causes blackscreen bugs and sometimes freezes the phone (coz the cpu kinda goes into sleep mode)..
Just saw this guide and i must say its pretty well done !
Could you add more info on minfree values and adjusting them, because as far as i remember they increase battery life alongside a performance boost.

The strategy which I follow to get some more juice out of my battery is to take backup of all my APKs in SD. Check which applications tend to run in background, uninstall those which are needed only on and off. Reinstall and use when required.

I had problems with freezing some apps like 'quiet sleep', resulting in FC of Titanium Backup itself
Something that won't make my phone lag, but will still save battery? I'd also like to know some good advanced settings. Also, other ways to save battery would be appreciated. Aside from obvious (Turn off wifi when you're not using it, turn off 3g when you're not using it, etc)
I could say that the latest DSC 0.72 did a great job with the conservative mode, almost no lag, and you will surely get a better battery life than with ondemand mode.
Before this update, i used my phone with DSC with ondemand mode and my phone had a battery life of around 24 hours (depending on the amount of time spent on gaming).
Also you should Freeze Google Maps if you are not using it. You can easily do that using Titanium Backup Pro (paid version) or Gemini App Manager (free).
Also, if you are looking for a good software for setcpu, you could easily try AnTuTu CPU Master Free.
Hope this helps...
Everyone says to freeze google maps, but I don't have a problem with that... Mine's not constantly running, according to Battery Dr's task killer. As for Antutu, I don't understand why you brought it up, and I do not like Antutu. When I used it, when I had Streakdroid 1.9, it constantly changed values. And the free version (haven't tried paid) doesn't have profiles, like Setcpu.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Well, i don't use any task killer, so i chose to freeze Maps until i really need them, as on my device, they were always running.
As for Antutu, i like the interface, i don't use any profiles (if we exclude the profiles like ondemand, conservative, performance etc.), so i could say it's just a matter of taste. Use what you like and what you want, i just made a recommandation... As for the changing values, maybe you talk about the processor speed that constantly changes because of the profile (ex. conservative mode).
Didn't mean to offend anyone, i just wanted to help... hope this helps.
Actually what I meant was... When I'd set the max to 384, it would reset them 5 minutes later, to 768, or something else. It wouldn't stay at the value I set it at. And no offense taken.

Well, I have noticed that google maps 'runs' even if you don't have it open... In my opinion (with my use) it isn't enough to horribly drain the battery. My stock battery still lasts me all day. But yeah. Also, if anyone's using Alarmdroid, that drains the battery almost as much as wifi does.
I am on Appdroids latest ICS Objection with the UCLF 5 modem. Really like it.
On my previous setups of ICS I put on setcpu and startup manager. Evem though its not overclocked I figured it will help with battery life and screen off.
On startup manager I used it to prevent programs from starting up not a task manager.
Now I don't have startup manager installed yet and I'm debating if it really helps with battery life. I go to task manager and the used memory is about the same as when I had startup manager supposedly blocking programs.
So I don't know what others setups are like or if anyone has experience with startup manager.
What abput the built in power saver mode ?? Does anyone use it? I have and then quit. Battery life seems a little better with it enabled.
I don't notice any lags or anything negative with the apps enabled or disabled.
I of course am lookimg for battery life.

Startup manager is exact name of program?
I use an app called Autostarts to keep programs from starting, namely my corporate email, but I can't say I've ever noticed a battery savings. As far as power saving mode goes,c an't say I've ever tried it either to be honest. I'm on AOSPxXx .6A and it seems to give me pretty good battery life, but then again I don't use ti too much during the day.

I have tried many options to try and anazlyze the best optimization for battery life out of my galaxy note 2 ..I noticed that when I was getting almost 2 days of battery life was when I had power saving mode enabled and I also had nova launcher installed but than I got to thinking that I wanted to give Touchwiz more of a chance because it is actually quite fluid and the animation is nice at 1x or .05x ...I was reading in threads that some users were not using power saving mode because it takes away from the beast of performance the note 2 possesses ...So my question is unlike other battery saving threads im not necessarily want pictures of your usage I want scenarios of what you ( the community of note 2 users) do to optimize and save battery life .... I will say that I am using cleanrom 3.5 I had 4.0.5 but I did not like that it took away some of the functions I liked ...So Ultimately I just want some advice on how to save battery life I have sync disabled and gps disabled but I keep google now enabled because its awesome ..I just need some advice and reccomendations please help im tired or buying apps that promise to save battery life only to find that they dont do much the most recent app I am trying and it sounds promising is DS Battery Saver and it seems promising because it actually turns off all background applications and wifi and data but wouldn't that do more harm than good to turn off background apps ,wifi and data ..
Have you ever thought about buying a bigger battery?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
Yes I have considered but I feel that I would like to try and explore the current options available to me seeing so many positive posy by other members saying there getting lots of battery life just out of the box without upgrading the battery, the battery on this thing is huge ,3100 ma ...Are these people keeping power saving mode on to gain the extra battery difference because I do notice a huge improvment in battery life when I put it in power saving mode but im thinking the people that are getting two days of battery life out of there device do not have power saving mode enabled
Not only that but I see screen time on some guys are at 8 hours screen time and still have like 50% battery or 6 hrs and have 68% battery thats insane ...I used my phone heavily today I had screen time on for about 6 hours and about two hours of phone calls and than alot of tweaking and trying options so restarting the phone drains the living crap out of this beast...So maybe ill try minimal use tomorrow and see what happens maybe ill see a difference I dont want to have to use ds battery saver most battery saving apps are crap claiming to help but in actually run in the background monitoring everything so it only enhances the battery draining issue or your phone will not go into deep sleep
I disabled haptic feedback. Keep the screen on auto.
Flashed perseus and am using a overclock/undervolt profile for stweaks from the thread that is here in general. There is a stweaks guide and stweaks profile thread if your interested.
Went through and froze or removed all startup and running services I didn't need. No sync apps that don't use push.
Anyway, that's what I did and get pretty good battery life.
Betterbatterystats isn't bloat either. It's pretty crucial if you want to troubleshoot power issues. I've used that as a reference for everything
In the end though, batteries are cheap. You can get 2 ankers and a charger for 20 on Amazon and they are great quality.

Yes I am definitely intrested in sweaks Ive never heard of it and as far as freezing apps no problem there I just am afraid that if I freeze apps like Google Maps than my Google Now will not properly work I dont snyc anything if I want to sync I do it manually but im not familiar with what you mean by push ? Also i feel to under skilled when it comes to freezing certain background apps like Google Maps I noticed alot or the bulk of my battery drain comes from Location settings I have most of my apps not location enabled but if I were to say freeze google maps wouldnt that effect how Google Now operates ?
Also do you use a certain browser that uses less battery or is that a bit overboard I use mainly stock browser but I also have google chome because its fast and simple I use stock browser when I need to watch flash content and I use chrome when I want things simplified but I find myself using google chrome less and less I heard Opera makes a very nice simple browser ..What browser do you use most often for battery life or does it not matter much ...Oh and if you could possibly send me the link to stweaks I would greatly appreciate it ...
Thanks

You can get an app called juice defender. You can set it up to turn wifi/data/bluetooth/gps off when you turn the screen off. You can set schedules to sync emails and other apps every 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes.. I have the pro version so I can control my entire phone..
If location settings is draining your battery, turn GPS off.

So do you also keep power saving mode on your note 2 enabled ? or do you keep that off ..Also is there a video tutorial on how to use Juice Defender properly because I never fully understood some of its features do you have just the basic juice defender, the plus or the ultimate im only asking because I want to know if having juice defender plus will do the trick or do i need the ultimate to take full advantage ?
I only ask this because I already have juice defender plus on the note 2 but I have yet to use it on the note 2

Apps running in the background don't use battery unless they sync a lot. You should be able to manually set location in weather apps.. and juice defender ultimate has the ability to set night schedules, control brightness, cpu, gps, network modes, etc. I have mine set up to sync apps every 30 minutes and then keep data and wifi off. You can also set traffic limits up too, so when the screen turns off, you can have data/wifi stay enabled if you are downloading something.

If I am using the stock weather and time widget that comes on the galaxy note 2 is it a signifigant amount of battery saving if I have it set to just one location and if you dont mind me asking how do I set it up for it to be set to one lication also if I have weather showing on the lock screen with that use even more battery I mean if its running than it shouldnt effect it if I have it on lock screen and home screen...My last question is regarding location settings that seems to be my biggest battery drain. I like using google now but I noticed if I disable in location settings data and wifi I save a ton of battery life ...I was trying to figure out how to disable maybe certain apps that are tracking my location or if I should just disable wifi and data location but than google now doesnt perform properly
