I know there are a lot of threads already but bare with me....
A lot of users have been having issues with battery (me inlcuded). These are the following things I have personally tried:
Screen Filter
Freezing Apps in Titanium
Green Power (though I had issues with it not enabling data when screen on)
I have tried VillianRom the CF-Kernel and currently I am on stock K7 and the stock Kernel (rooted using insecure kernel then flashed stock again)(figured that might help since Samsung wouldn't actually sell a phone without testing the battery).
I am not a gamer nor have I been abusing my phone. Today scenario:
(3G/HSPDA always switched on or wifi when available)
Removed phone from charge at 1400 Hours.
Wifi was on till I left home at around 1530 hours during the process I must have barely checked a few messages on Whatsapp and made one phone call. Since then I have been out met a few friends showed off the phone. When I say showed off the phone all I did was this:
Showed the S2 playing a video
Played a song from google music (streaming over 3G)
Used whatsapp for about 10 minutes
Spoke on the phone for a total of 30 minutes
Got back home around 2200 hours and the phone was screaming for attention which I believe on stock is around 15%.
As you can see from above I have hardly used the phone. Now my query is for those users who are not having battery issues. We have had a lot of threads complaining about issues can we just have a brief post from you guys who are having fantastic battery?
Something like:
Firmware
Rom
Kernel
Root Status
Applications Installed/Frozen
Other Steps?
How much juice have you gotten out of it
I think all of this would greatly help. Coz clearly some of us are having problems and some aren't so could we just share the knowledge?
Sorry for my rambling but I wanted to explain all of it as clearly as I could. Instead of starting another thread as to WHAT CAN I DO!?
Cheers.

[UPDATE]
I read this in one of the countless threads regarding battery life and android OS eating away battery. Still in the testing phase but it seems this might be a genuine solution as well :
Format your SDCARD. I know sounds stupid but like I mentioned earlier I am still testing this out. Most of us if not all have shifted from our old android to the Galaxy S II. The probability that this might have been without a format to save pictures or some sort of data is most likely. Once again this *might* help. The title hence states update and not *FIX*.

Firmware & Rom: I don't know the difference between firmware and rom, so I'll put this: Baseband - I9100BUKE1
Kernel: OEM 2.6.35.7-I9100BUKE1-CL182896
Root Status: No
Applications Installed/Frozen: None
Other Steps? : Wifi on most of the day, 3G off unless necessary. GPS off Screen brightness: auto
How much juice have you gotten out of it: 4 hours of screen on time, or 24 hours of light use. Usually 16 hours of 3.5-4 hours of screen time.
I hope this helps. Ah not to mention, I have had this phone for 5 days now, and I haven't had ANY Samsung apps show up.
Here is an image of my list of services, but I must say, I unplugged it last night at 10 PM, and left it mostly alone until this morning. That's why my screen usage is so low. In other threads i've posted a lot higher screen on time . But it's just to show you that on KE1 there is no Samsung services going rogue.
One step forward two steps back while charging!
I had the bizarre issue last night where my S2 was losing power while it was charging. Only app running was Words with Friends (checked cpu usage and seemed ok) and I had Screen Filter running at 60%
Phone was near dead by 9pm even though I had topped it up during 2x 30min drives. Was playing Words against 4 family members (all on their iPhones) and I had to give up trying to play while huddled on the floor by the socket as it slowly dropped percent by percent lower.
Not Happy!
KE7 btw
I had a ****ty battery life too but then after reading some tips how to improve it, I froze wifi sharing in Titanium Backup and disabled Google Latitude (not sure which one did the trick but if I had to choose, I guess Latitude was the issue since Maps was always showing up in Battery usage) and now my battery life is perfect. Before my phone would die after like 8 hours and now 24 hours is no problem . I hope the new firmware will fix Latitude but until then, battery life > Latitude. I'm on VillainRom 1.1 and CF-Root 3.7 btw.
ActiveSync
I had an activesync account which really chewed on my battery, had only about 12 hours battery life. After removing the activesync account it lasts at least 40 hours!
i have mobile internet on 24/7, everything syncs every hour, if i dont touch my phone all day, it drops from 100% to 90% from 8am to 4pm....I use my phone for music most of the day for music, txting ect, easily has over 50% by end of the day...cant understand why so many people have problems!

Battery is always the problem and it will hinder the development of smartphone or other PDAs. Maybe we should get nuclear battery
Always turn 'mobile data' off when you are not using your phone. I travel a lot with work and can tell a huge difference in battery life depending on where I am. If you leave 'mobile data' on where 3G service is bad, your battery will drain fast.
Firmware - Default KE2
Baseband - I9100XXKDJ
Kernel - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606, [email protected] #2
Other - 3G connection, no 3G packet data, no WiFi, no GPS, looking at the time from time to time, screen brightness either small or auto
I have none of the problems mentioned by others (like display banding, tint, unstable WiFi, the pink camera spot is small), if this makes a difference.
(By the way, the number within the battery compartment says i9100H)
I get about 11% battery discharge per 24 hours

Whichever way you swing it, Android battery life ain't that great... i'm coming from a Nokia phone which had 7-10 days per charge.
S2 is my first Android phone it's stock unrooted, Optus Australia version. With 100% wifi on, I get 9 1/2hrs out of box, 19-20hrs with Juice Defender free and 52hrs with XP8000

Haven't flashed it yet as phone is only 10 days old, so giving it sometime and probably wait for 2.3.4 to come out. I know KE7 is meant to give me better battery life, so may do the update or wait for 2.3.4.
My advice just get an external battery pack. My Energizer XP8000 will give me 2-5hrs extra S2 battery run time per 1hr on the charge (basically every 1hr 25-30% charged). So if you're away from home or at work, plug in XP8000 for 1hr and give the S2 a 2-5hr top up charge. But probably quicker to charge on S2 AC adaptor as USB = ~450mah and AC = ~650mah. So on AC every 1hr on charge = 40% top up on S2 battery life.
The added bonus of XP8000 is it has tips for 1000s of devices, so i can use it for my Acer 3810T notebook too which gets 10hrs itself and XP8000 can give it an extra 4 1/2hrs on top.
One thing I notice is I'm getting better battery life after each successive charge, with Juice Defender free started out around 17-19hrs, then 19-20hrs and now 23-26hrs. Been charging off XP800 @450mah for past 4 charges maybe it conditions battery batter than AC @650mah ?

A phone and a PDA (so called smartphone) are two different animals.
I forgot to say that my 3 years old HTC Polaris (with Windows Mobile 6 and a 2.8 inch LCD display) had about 12-14% battery discharge in the same conditions (but the battery was smaller, like 1300 mAh). Just for comparison for those who believe that Android is at fault.
Hi guys i really need someones help to explain something to me. I not even had a galaxy s2 for a month and i have been noticing problems with it. I flashed different custom roms because i heard having a custom rom is more battery friendly and makes the phone go a lot faster than having the stock rom in. So i went ahead and flashed a custom rom but i have been having problems with the battery. Fully charge it and within minutes of using wifi and browsing in the browser the battery starts being drained like crazy. Anyways i called the place were i got it from and i have send it in to them for an exchange. They said to me they will have to test it first to see were the fault is before they do the exchange. I have to say here that i flashed back to stock rom with the latest firmware using Kies. Anyways they had it for a few days fully charged it and they say that they can not find a fault and they are sending me the handset back. I have to admit being on stock rom the battery does last longer.
Anyways what can i do next and were is it that im going wrong and is it worth sending it to Samsung directly once i get my handset back?
Does it take few days for the battery to settle and get the proper use out of it even with a custom rom or shall i just stick with the stock and just root and use my phone as normal because other than the drainage there is nothing else wrong with it.
Thank you in advance...

hey thanks again JJEGAN for replying but why does everyone suggest to go to custom rom then? and i have display on lowest and i hardly have widgets so why on custom rom my battery gets sucked like crazy? do you think its worth staying on stock rom and just root the handset?
Thanks
ps when you say wipe the battery stats i did do that and charged the battery and still the same so were do i go wrong? could it be the custom roms that i have been using and not let the battery have a few days cycle to adjust to the new rom
Why do you want to root it? The phone is a beast on stock. Save yourself a load of hassle and get timely OS updates by staying stock. Root in a years time when the phone gets old and isn't supported anymore.

Read the battery drain posts stop your apps from draining the battery .
Overnight sleep test with GPS Bluetooth and WiFi off on a fully charged battery target 2% drain per twelve hours . Better Battery stats set to show Wakelocks .
me today checked 2.5 days usage admittedly light use = 54% drain

After upgrading to ICS (via kies) the battery really sucks. Last for a whole day if im lucky. Is this normal??

From what I've heard, it's usually improved - BUT some power management bugs that affected stock Gingerbread kernels but were fixed in all custom kernels are still present in ICS, such as the good old fuel_alerted wakelock - so while it's better when working well, it's more prone to breaking.
I'm happy if my battery lasts for a day as i'm always messing with it(one of these days I might use it to make a phone call)! Have you tried putting it on charge at bedtime? I find that helps a lot.

I would try to avoid over-charging it, it's not good for any battery. Once it hits 100% (so long as it's correctly calibrated) unplug and use as normal.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
same here i upgraded to ICS xxlpq and have been using it for 3 days, im struggling to get a day out of it ... its exactly the same setup as when i ran XEU (KI4) 2.3.4 unbranded UK. I noticed ram usage has increased as well as the amount of system processes. both times I rooted and removed bloatware. when my contract runs out in 6 months I will be looking at either a pure asop phone or an iphone 5, The galaxy s2 has a great screen but the batterylife if weak no matter what custom rom and custom kernal is running. Also I can get a wifi signal in my bedroom with my laptop and my old iphone 3gs but nothing with the s2.
Also please can anyone advise what the best pure and minimilistic asop rom will be for the galaxy s2 ive read cm9 mite be soon but is there anything thats great for battery life ? ...... thanks for you time in advance :=)

did u manage to fix the problem is "exchange something that can be removed ?
Upgrading to custom ICS roms is usually a great way to enhance your battery life, because they're always containing tweaks and optimizations!
This worked for me
Device: GT-I9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2 international)
Carrier: Smartone
Country / Language: Hong Kong
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): ICS 4.0.3/IML74K.ZSLPE
I can confirm that I have resolved the battery drain issue after upgrading to ICS on my device. The problem was partial wake locks caused by the exchange service.
One of these measures fixed the problem for me (it might have been any of these, although I have a strong suspicion that the factory reset is the only relevant one):
- factory reset of phone; didn't restore the settings and accounts, but set them up manually
- wiped cache
- did not reinstall ADW launcher
Hope that helps.
The good news is that now the battery life is definitely better than it was on Gingerbread.

This isn't really true. Once it hits 100% it pretty much runs off the charger.
By depleting it all the time you are ruining the battery that way

Leaving your phone on charge longer than is absolutely necessary ie taking it off charge as soon as it gets to 100% will not affect your battery life and there is also no need to manually calibrate the battery. I installed DXLP7 and was getting poor battery life due to a wakelock, I found and dealt with the cause and immediately battery life improved. In my experience battery life on ICS is as good as it was in gingerbread. Better battery stats is your friend.

I had upgraded my sgs2 to ics yesterday. The new version is draining the battery very seriously. In the previous version, my sgs2 could last for about 12 hours from a fully charged state. But now the version can only last for 6 hours, which is really unacceptable.
Is deep sleep? You can check with CPU-Spy. If not, remove the battery a few minutes and then returned.

I had huge battery drain issues from exchange and email waking the device and constantly doing something. Removed the accounts and then set them up again. Like night and day now, better than gb. On LP7 and never wiped.
Cheers

Keep a look with BetterBatteryStats, and see if there are any apps messing up.
I have better batterylife with ICS by a margin.
And about leaving the charger on during night, these are kind of myths really, you can keep it on without any worries, and also charge it without being totally drained.
Most of these thoughts come from the old Ni-Cd times with memory effect.
I had removed the Exchange Account yesterday and the battery drain problem disappeared. The account was added back after about 10 hours. The battery usage is now back to normal (a little bit better than the situation before the ics upgarde). Thanks for your hint.
Cheers.
SG S2 ICS Battery drain issue
Had upgraded to ICS when it launched in India and literally went berserk due to the battery drain issue. Googled and googled, found a lot of things, tried most of them (except for changing ROMs).
Then, Voila, last 4 days - a complete twist to my sorry tale. I first disabled the phone backup option (to Google), did a factory reset, said No to most of the options that are asked on restart, and didnt install the earlier applications from the Play store en masse (earlier, had a number of games and other 'what I thought was useful' apps). Now, only have the basic apps plus Poweramp, Shazam and NQ Mobile added. And the result - the battery is back to normal. Phew....big relief as I use the phone pretty much for mails, music, phone.
I want yo add some thing very annoying, I discovered today after upgrading to Resurrection ROM.
In fact, even with the device connected to my car power supply and using Copilot for about 1 hour, the battery continued it's discharge instead of charging.
So what to say and what to do?
Cheers
Hello guys,
I have battery problem and don't know what to do anymore and need help from the ones who can really help and have ideas..
I had SGS2 and I bought two month ago SGS3 and my battery was abs superb untill I installed LH1 android 4.0.4 from that point
everything is going worser and worser..I were thinking if I put dli1 and JB everything is going to be a lot better but problems are even bigger now.
In 2h normal using of phone,battery drains around 30% (normal using 10 pages of surfing,checking emails and that's it)
I know from the sgs2 days how to lower down battery but nothing is helping in sgs3 case..
- Things I have to mentioned is that when I installed new dli1 I did install new firmaware jb and did factory reset, dalvik , cache, wipe
- I have only 10 installed apps
- I don't have running apps on behind,dont user gps, not using sync at all , shutting down my wifi all the time,same for gprs,
I edited wifi settings etc etc etc
- Used watchdog to monitor the aps nothing crucial...
- (Can't do copy paste on DLI1) so battery is really minimal using apps but screen is on 56% (brightness is 100%)
- Have additional battery and there was same problem with android 4.0.4 (didnt test with JB,will do)
- I tried to empty the battery to the zero but nothin...
Few people from Faraby post are also complaining about same thing with battery but most of them said they have only problem with DLI1
not before ..
Only thing which is crossing my mind to try to reset everything and tried with today's leak and hope ...
If someone has ideas I would be (bow)
Leak as in not a Samsung release binned test firmware .
Replace with clean stock ICS and test .

Only thing which is crossing my mind to try to reset everything and tried with today's leak and hope ...
If someone has ideas I would be (bow)

Bro relax,XXDLI is just for testing and it's not stable in terms of battery life,some users reported good things about this build but it's STILL FOR TESTING.
Did you try wiping your S3 With factory reset and flashing another stock Rom from recovery?

Hey Nhariamine I know its test version still but why only few of us having these kind of problems that is what keeps me worried and if you can read from above my problems started when LH1 OTA was installed...
I flashed now DLI2 and we will see how this will go.. so far 7% in 40 min i did wipe,factory reset, dalvik, cache etc..
Didnt tried to flash another stock rom prolly I will wait official JB or go to 4.0.4 and see ...
I am more trying to find some logical things what could be and if anybody solved that problem..
Thank you

Hey,i got RR 3.1.3 since the day its out..had about 5 battery cycles and still having a massive drain
my phone had FULL battery at about 17:00,it got stuck after 30 minutes(in that point i had about 82%),i turned it off by long pressing the power key.
when the phone got up it came with 70% battery,i almost didnt use the phone since then. maybe maximum 30 total minutes on whatsapp.
edit:
here its about 3:23 am now,i got 26% left.

*if you have any recommandation about other ROM(even if its not JellyBean) i dont mind changing so far the battery will be better.
We have already had multiple topics about this.
If you have problems with a specific rom you should check specific roms thread.
So first of all there is a BBS thread where u get better and more direct help to this problem.
Second if u have this since a flash of Rom or kernel try a reflash (maybe a kind of "bad" flash)
If u want a recommendation for another Rom I can say that RootBox is quite good in battery.
U have to choose if 3.2 (4.1.2) or to newest (3.4).
