when i needed more battery i ran juicedefender, its amazing. and superpower is alright, but i didn't actually get how to use it.
yea no luck with both of those.I had a droid x before this and i had a battery saver app but i dont know the name of it.I also had a cliq xt before that but i gave it to my dad.But my dad doesnt use a lot of apps but he is a very heavy talker.I noticed that my dads battery would like stay on forever.Is this because of my apps?Or should i get a mobile charger?

check out this post. it takes a little time and effort on your part, but it will help!
I have this S2 for about a month now and up 'til about 2 days ago I was getting quite frustrated with the battery life. From 8am to about noon I'd be down to sometimes 50% and by 3pm I'd be getting ready to put it on the charger at about 20-30%.
So a couple days ago I decided to uninstall Advanced Task Killer Pro (with advice from some members on XDA) and installed Watchdog and blacklisted at 1% threshold a whole bunch of stuff. ie. Wifi Sharing, Social Hubs, etc.
Now it's almost 4pm, same usage as before and I'm at 73%! Compared to before it's a major breakthrough. This is battery life that is expected. So maybe some of you guys should try the same and see how it works for you. Cheers.
what are all the apps you blacklisted?

Here's some screens of apps I whitelisted and blacklisted.
More.....................
You just need to know what processes are running on background, for that install Better Battery Stats, search in XDA, and see under 'Partial Wakelocks'.
And stop using ATK, its advised, don't know why!

I thought task managers/killers were a big "no-no" for gingerbread..
You have root, right?

Here's the best part... NO ROOT!
I just downloaded Watchdog pro, you did not make it did you , I don't want to root as i paid a lot for my simfree S2 and i have only had it a couple of days.
I see you are using "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" , I have been using it for months with a few android phones, I wish Samsung had realtime mah/current usage like HTC.
I have my S2 on charge at the moment with an 650mah Sony Ericsson charger, and "Battery Monitor Widget Pro" is saying it`s charging my S2 at 989mah
Check out my post history and you'll see where I discovered Watchdog. I have nothing to do with that app.
5:30pm and I'm at 61%. This is outrageous. Normally the battery would be completely dead at this time and already on the charger. Screens attached.
Blacklist is only in pro version?

how long was the display on, as that uses most power,

Regardless though, this is the exact same usage for me except right now I'm at double the battery life as compared to before.
What % did you do the cpu threshold?

I set the threshold at 1%.
Mine is very odd. Overnight, everything on (no special settings), I typically lose 10-15%. Nothing changed. During the day, I lose 40% with maybe 10 minutes of use. Display is always listed as high, but with 10 minutes of use, that seems really weird.
This whole battery thing is also temprature related. Yesterday was kinda warm here. Had to charge my phone twice. While normaly on a lot of use I can get 12+15hours.

If I download "watchdog" I get a game.
There is no "watchdog pro".
So, please share the EXACT app name.
Thanks,
David

It's called 'Watchdog Task Manager Lite' or 'Watchdog Task Manager Pro'
The Pro version has the blacklist feature, the lite version works more like a task manager, monitoring CPU and killing apps when they reach a certain threshold use of your CPU. In the UK the Pro version costs £2.14 (exVAT).
Hello guys,
I've been testing some apps of that kind but I would like you to advice me.
Thankfully,
Pedro
What do you use?
Hello pal,
I'm using JuiceDefender now. The free one!
Testing it! Is it good? I heard some good things about it, as well as easy battery saver! But I'm a bit newbie with Android!
If possible, one app for RAM Checking as well.

It appears to be for rooted devices and it's not the case Thanks anyway.
By the way, how long does it need to charge? I gave it a 12h charge time at its first charging but now I think it's not needed anymore. So, how long shall I wait?

As it's 2012 we don't need any 48 hours charging anymore. Just unpluggit and get going
Try `Power save mode` stock app. You can set it to activate itself at what level you want below 80%. But you can always activate it manually, starting with 100%
It's simple and efficient.
Well i would suggest just to turn off ur data connection ( the internet from ur mobile provider) in my case with xperia arc s it gave me around 12 15h more hours.Just turn it on with u need it and it will save lots of battery btw the wifi doesnt take so much joice from the battery.Browsing wiht opera on wifi for 1h it drains around 5 6% of my battery and the screen is on like 70%.I tested juice defender free and it couldnt get me more then 1 day battery life
Hello!
My sgs2 battery lasts for 5-6 hours
Im not using it that much. I play games for 30mins and thats all. I don't use it all time.
I was thinking that battery is broken so i bought another but 2000mah and it didnt help too but lasts one more hour . Im really worried.
I have mA usage widget and it sometimes shows 600mA 300mA screen off 200mA.
I've frozen all unnecesary apps.
I have kernel siyah 2.6.7
Can someone help me?
Check for wakelocks.
[APP] BetterBatteryStats adds battery history back to Gingerbread.
Thanks but i dont think it will help

Brilliant. Carry on enjoying your 5-6 hour battery life then.
very funny
It will help also have you checked what is consuming battery? Do you have data, wifi or bluetooth on?
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Yes I checked everything. I have wifi bt 3g off, screen 40% in battery usage it says screen eats 70% battery and the rest is some apps 2-3%
You were given a way to possibly increase battery life from Oinky, and you dismissed what he said with "Thanks but I don't think it will help" ?
You're obviously an idiot then. And frankly, you don't deserve help at all after that.
Do you realise BetterBatteryStats is probably the best way to nail down wakelocks that can chew thru battery, once you've taken a look at the really obvious stuff ?
Clearly not.
"Some apps".
Very helpful. These apps don't have a name then? Too lazy to type them? You think we should guess?
You don't seem to want any help.You definitely don't deserve any.
Best keep your charger handy.
1. Are u using a task killer..if so don't
2. Are u rommed? It could be that theres one on x10 that ate my battery n am on a 2.6k mAh.
3. Ur kernel.. if its oc cud be a problem.
Turn mobile data, backgroud data, auto-sync and of couse your brightness, can save battery, if all this fails i suggest seeing your phone provider about it
Xperia x10i
DonutHD
DoomKernel v6
Unlocked and unbranded.. Bye bye vodafone
I would give you some help on it but I don't think you will think that would help.

I've given you your first "thanks" because you've made me laugh quite hysterically.
Hope you're battery's down to 5-6 seconds soon.
Check out a poster here who goes by the sadly inappropriate name of TheMegaStar - you two are made for each other.
Original poster seems a funny guy, don't think he wants our help.
Check for wakelocks, change your modem, try a different kernel if rooted, try a new rom if rooted, don't use any task killers.

He should definitely be checking betterbatterystats to see what is eating his battery.
This app once helped me nail down my battery problem which turned out to be facebook, the chat was signed in & drains battery like a mother....

Switch the phone off the battery life is amazing (sorry couldnt resist)

I unplugged from the charger at 7am today. Watched some youtube videos, listened to some spotify (15 mins) and calls were like 20 mins. By the time it was 1:30pm my battery was dead. Ive been noticing les battery performance now. I tried closing apps and uninstalling the ones that use up memory too. Nothing works. What should i do?

Install BetterBatteryStats and see what's the big drainer on your phone.
i did install better batterystats.. I uninstalled all the apps that drain. Still no use:-(

if you could provide us with your settings and a log from betterbatterystats so we can help you out
and by settings i mean, sync how often, 3g or wifi or both
gps, all that kind of stuff
definitely agree with rorixrebel above, and install juidefender from the android market it will use your battery as efficiently as possible.
It could also be a battery issue, and if you need a new one I recommend the 1900 Anker one (search amazon) it fits without the need for a new cover and gives you 20-25% more life.

which parameter denotes drain?
Are you running a stock ROM? My stock GSII had pretty awful battery life - I had much better results from Cyanogenmod.
