Do a data/factory reset, that will solve your problems, type *2767*3855# in the phone dialpad. Backup foto`s , files and stuff before that
It won't let me send the picture it says wrong file extension

Hi there,
If you go to Settings -> Battery - what does it list as using the most battery power?
Edit: You can downgrade to GB if a full factory format/reset doesn't work - you may be another unfortunate recipient of the Android OS wakelock bug.

Skip everything.
ICS sucks on battery life if you are using the stock ICS ROM.
I suggest you revert back to Ginger Bread or Get a new ROM developed by the Xda chefs in the android development section according to your preference.
THis will atleast extend your battery by 20% of the existing performance.
But if you prefer to stick on with ICS, then i suggest you upgade your battery to a higher capacity.
i.e 1900 mAh.

Switch to Cyanogenmod 9 nightly. You can underclock processor to 1000mhz. Battery works great then. Getting almost 1.5 days with moderate use. That's sufficient I guess. Cheers

My battery was suffering,not really bad but bad enough to notice it was worse than gb. I have since factory reset my phone (before i upgraded to ics without wiping data etc) and i have noticed major improvements! I am using the 1900 mh battery which helps as well. To sum up a factory reset helped me!
Nice pic btw! :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Well one things for sure the factory reset has made a huge difference. I used to use juice defender and battery still didn't last longer than 12 hours and that's on GB than once i updated to ICS battery only lasted 4 to 6 hours depending on use. Since the reset i have had a whopping 24 hours with moderate use. So i defo recommend it. Thank you gee and thanks everyone for your input x

I have major battery problems since ICS update also, (network free, unbranded sgs2) ...... am i right in thinking a simple factory reset could make my battery last three times longer.
Potentially, seems to have helped many so far! It did me!

How much screen time are you using? If you use all day, yes it will drain very fast, especially 3G/4G Data.
For me, I get at max of 3 hours of screen time, and amazing Deep Sleep when the screen is turned off. I am using HydrogenICS, with Thoravukk kernel.
If you're thinking of getting an extra battery, look up on Amazon or Ebay. Anker i9100 Battery. Good quality stuff.
So everyone who's been experiencing battery issues should factory reset?
What will the factory reset to since I have a custom ROM installed?

Best battery life is subjective and based on usage, mostly linked to screen on time and usage of mobile data and wifi as long as you don't have rouge apps keeping the phone awake.
Your best best is to try a few of the roms from the dev section.
Personally I have found villian rom and ninphetamine kernel to be a great stock rom based combo and cm nightly to be good, but there are limitations!

I've been using lightning rom v5 since last yesterday, and phone was fully charged over night. However in terms of battery life is has been pretty crap for me. Hardly used the phone today and battery life is down to 43 percent already. Only made a few txts and received a couple of calls. Gonna be trying villianrom and cognition over the next few days. Hopefully I see a big difference.

Could you be any less specific?? There's a difference between battery life as in how long can a fully charged battery last, and how many years can you use a battery before it's trash. And the OP and you are clearly talking about a different "battery life".
The OP just wants to last longer with one charge cycle and flashing a ROM has no affect whatsoever on that duration. It will (or could) however affect the total life of your battery, because battery stats are wiped and the battery needs to "re-learn" itself. But that is like 1 month shorter on a total life of 4 years.....scary Like we will walk around with our S2's for 4 years
Speedmod kernal seems the best for me. T22

I get fairly good life on newts one xxx rls. I got about 10 hrs today while streaming over 4g, texting, 2 calls and some Facebook. I'm sure I can get better battery life after I get over the excitement of sense 4
I have CleanROM DE 1.4 and it's the best battery life I've had, which leads me to believe you should be looking more for a different kernel. I've tried upwards to 10 different ROMs. I'm using the 3.13xx kernel he posted in Post #2 of that ROM thread.
Also, just a note, upgrading the firmware helped tremendously. Not just using the patch, but taking the dive and flashing the RUU. My phone got better with both battery life and heat.

Battery Monitor Pro is great. Even logs all that data and has nice graph. It also allows you to swap batteries and also the battery data with it so each spare battery you have is correctly calibrated.

Anyone test out any of the new ROMs on the new base...any help to battery life?
Hi I am 15 years old and i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 with stock ics 4.0.3 (exactly I9100XXLPS). It have some issues with (not opening some times) wifi and several battery drain when im playing games ( need for speed, asphalt, etc). I want to play games and surfing but my phone does not keep its battery until night. So I want a rom and a kernel which have no much battery drain, fix wifi issue and if its possible to extend the wifi signal...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm also 15 yr old, btw i'm from Serbia(if u know where is it...), if u using cf kernel it has a wifi bug so i suggest u to install siyah or dorimanx kernel... And, i think themes like this(whats best rom, which to use, ...) are forbidden, sorry btw try SuperNexus rom, for me that's best rom for begginers, wish u a luck !
I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...
That being said, I'm currently using Cm7 on my I777 and it has great battery life (although I suspect it has something to do with turning the second core off and using Siyah GB.)
For Jellybean my preferred ROM is Super Nexus... I got pretty good battery on that one too!

How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.

Under volt cores to 700-900mhz. Its enough for regular use. Keep brightness levels to 50%. Close all apps. Check and see if Deep sleep works. If not check to see what app is preventing you from getting deep sleep, or ask the kernel Dev if you have a custom kernel. Can you provide us with more information?

Best solution for battery drain is switch phone off and put in one corner, don't touch at all. What are you want from 4.3 inch display, dual core phone with leaked custom rom?

I always have my packet data on and for about a year I never went over 10%/hour while browsing net outside of WiFi range.
In my case I narrowed the problem down basically to "screen on" state. Suddenly it multiplied power consumption even with packet data and GSM off (level of brightness doesn't matter, simply being on did this).
It persisted through ROM changes (reverting back to stock, different ICS, GB and JB ROMs). I'm not alone in this, as I found dozens of similar cases all over the net, but no solution. Some suggest hardware malfunction, like motherboard short-circuiting.
@halfblack :Well maybe I'm mistaken. But that's normal on some ROMs. My bad! Never faced such an issue.

And you are surely right about some ROMs, especially ICS-based, having minor or major battery issues. UHD should, in my case does, have it under control though.

Yep, that's normal on a custom ROM.

Nope. Had the same rom and it was a huge improvement over the stock rom.

there's a lot you can do, either get a new custom rom, try a different kernel, go for stock based ones, it's always good to start there. check whether you have gprs or data activated which usually causes drain. how much your battery is being used also dictates towards the drain. if all the above is ok, the kernel might be the issue for rapid drain
get screenies so we can guide you better...
Press Thanks if i've helped you

The stock roms and stock based roms are not at all battery friendly...I'm on moProject42 4.2.2 and my battery hardly drains even if I leave wifi on without switching on wifi optimization. My battery drain is about 1% every 7-8 mins if wifi and screen are on.. I always have around 180mb free ram (which I think almost no one gets after 7-8 hrs of use in ICS based stock roms), use SmartassH3 CPU governor on just 806MHz and still don't face slightest lag in any game I play (Temple run, subway surfers, MotoGP)
The point is there is loads of bloatware running in such roms that battery drain is normal..
Most of the stock based roms and stock roms lack lots of battery and performance tweaks...It's time to switch to cyanogenmod

as far as i remember, ultimate hd 5.0.1 has offline charging...but if you are getting a bootloop then i'd recommend a re-install or if u've installed a custom rom then do the same..but if it still doesn't work then try flashing a different rom...
A word of advice..
1. CM , AOSP and AOKP roms are under continuous process of beta testing..So dont judge I'm on aokp 4.1.2 for now and wifi is still buggy but i can manage(i mean android 4.4 is out now)
2. Try roms based on stock but are completely stripped and are still customizable..eg. JJ Hybrid 3.3 rom. Ultimate HD is very good but apparently a lil too much for our neo v Happy Flashing!:good:
