are u going to help?
should i switch a kernel? wipe cache?
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.

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.
Edit : holy crap I need to open my eyes, its stickied at the top of the general section.

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.
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 ;-)

For me : setCPU 1,49€ + Juce defender 4,99€ but setting is not always easy -->
14 - 30 hours

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.

Nah. I might be a **** about it when it looks like someone hasn't even tried searching with google or in forums, but I still try to be mildly helpful when I can.
Look for post speaking about Betterbatterystats.. it's great!
I have been Using my SGS2 on cm7 since the day i bought it some days back.. The thing is i dont get good battery life. Battery Monitor Widget Pro shows -10mA to -90mA and sometimes upto -150mA drain in stand by. Last night i lost 13% in 8 hours. I recharged it to 100% the battery drain was about -2mA for 4-5 hours then suddenly it increased to 50mA and now its -91mA since 2 hours continously. I am on Siyah Kernel. Smartassv2 kernel. Cpu underclocked to 1ghz. i Also have autokiller. brightness to lowest. And manually kill apps. I got the phone coz the my old iphone was not lasting a day but it did last 5-6 hours of screen on time. SGS2 doesnt give me over 3 hours of screen on time. NO WIFI. Just 2g data. Whatsapp every 10min. 4-5 min gaming a hour.
So you read the ten million battery faq posts and make a start with better battery stats thread and app .
TEST with a stock GB rom .

I didnt understand the first sentence . AND Yeah i am going to try the stock rom today. I even tried miui v4 as well as gingerbread version of miui but got no improvement.
Make sure you give it about 3 battery cycles download CPU Spy to see if your phone is going into deep sleep

I think 15-16 charge cycles have completed. I flashing stock rom and then trying cm7 again or should i try miui?
MIUI GB is better in battery life comparing to ICS V4,
use with siyah kernel, with app Voltage control undervolt 25v each, noop + coservative, 200-1000mhz
giving good result.

Try pulling your battery out, leaving it 30s and putting it back in, I know that has helped some people get rid of some pretty annoying wakelocks(if wake locks are you problem), it has worked for me in the past

Do you flash with CWM?
It's much easier, yeah with moderate usage I could get 1.5/2 days battery life with stock battery It's a very good ROM, although the MIUI team have stopped developing due to the development of MIUI V4

basicaly all MIUI roms are same, some developers in XDA are just ported with some tweeks and modifications.
some of them are:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1352386
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1502664
The country of Origin of the MIUI is China and released in Chinese language, but there are variouse fan sites who translate the ROM into their language and port with great support. www.miuiandroid.com is famouse among them in english language.
I am currently using MIUI GB ROM and really enjoying it
check it out
i flashed ressurection rom ics. i got 3% drain in 7 hours overnight which is quite good but now again loosing -57mA in standby ie around 3 or so %/h... BetterBatterystats under partial wakelocks shows AudioOut_1 for 3m 17s , RILJ for 1m 9s and few other things ..Kernel Wakelock is (0s)Cntc/wc/ec/)1/1/1 100%.

jje means to say thire r millions of posts on batt prblm y r u starting another wivout reading the already posted prblms ......anyways go thru the the batt drain(find in search)cause ull get an idea were ur wrong....i dont think cm9 gives good batt life but depends on wat no of apps u got..try the stock gb first..an there is no garanty tht the uv,oc or tweaks give u a marvelous batt life.....cheeeerz
so i went back to stock rom. Wiped out the storage. Reseted the phone. Installed nothing. Still i get -57mA battery drain that is almost 5-6% per hour in standby. I have searched like anything. I just cant seem to find anything. My android os usage is 70%. And the battery info shows phone awake for maximum time. i even undervolted on siyah kernel. Didnot use data at all but it shows no difference. Stock,Miui,Resurrection,cm7 no difference. I simply cant get over 4 hours of screen time and phone looses 20-25% over night with data disabled and no apps installed. Am seriously loosing faith on android.
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????

Ok, I will try this app. Can you tell me what am I looking for in the wakelocks? What I mean is, what I need to do, to know what app or settings causes the battery drain?
I have another app, it's called BatteryDrain, and this is the results I got from the app:

My ROM(in my signiture) just intalled today and using it now. I start using this ROM at 83% battery.
and I think it is draining too fast, or because it is just fresh and need some time?
Did you try the search tool? Exactly the same issue has been discussed already.
Exactly..
This is been discussed search it.
