I also did factory reset but still same prob.
It also freezes when I play Asphalt 6 or force closes somtimes.
Plz help me and suggest me what to do , m really frustruated.
Thanks
Can you post information about the firmware version, battery stats (Settings -> Battery) and take a screenshot of what it looks like, what programs you have installed and what kernel you are using.

by reading your frist sentense that you charge your phone 2-3 times aday i would say that , it is ubnormal in any way , but reading your second one , now i know why do you do that
firstly : playing anu game will drain your battery from 3-5% in 5 min , it is normal dear because , you almost run your phone with it's max freq, and may be also the gpu max freq , this will drain your battery , and may be make your phone hot
you can underclock your cpu and/or gpu , so that you can save some % of battery but i will not give you like play for 1 hour and lose only 3%
also you can uv your cpu "be carefull here"
secondly : dont use your phone as a gameboy machine , this will empty your battery in almost 5-6 hours and may be less , try o use your phone normaly such as 30 min gaming , browsing internet "2-3 hours" . texting , chating
and you will see that your phone will last you aday at least m my phone gives me 1d and 16 hours with 3.15 hours screen on and browsing with 3g for about 2-hours , and about 30 min gaming , my combination is "cm9-my fluxi kernel"
my cpu
100-1000 " may be 800 in some cases "
uv by -50
gpu
133-167-276
Install 'Quick System Info' and get a look to the processus tab.
Perhaps one of them takes a lot of CPU because it is not ICS compliant.
I have had this kind of pb when i have migrated to ICS.

Install better battery stats from the app section of xda to see if you have any wake locks from a rogue app. Then install cpu spy from the play store to see if your phone is deep sleeping.

Well most of the processes were using 0% of cpu
Android System was fluctuating. Sometimes it was 0% , sometimes between 0-10% and sometimes it was 100%

Do not bump your thread, you will just achieve the opposite of what you wanted. Everybody knows you are looking for a help
Correct me if I'm wrong: from your post #5 I can see that your phone used at most 1/3 of the battery to run approximately 16 hours? Making an educated guess your battery should last for 48 hours.
Tow days without recharging(!): you should be very
I have found that since I upgraded to ICS Dolphin browser uses a ton of battery. If you don't exit out of it the CPU keeps chugging away at 15-30% or more depending on how many tabs you have open.

He wasn't talking to you... post 5 was rishabhssj0's.
As far as you're concerned, it looks to me that your battery is only dropping while your screen is on. 79% screen usage, center image the battery drops only while the screen is on and the phone is awake, and is otherwise level when the phone is sleeping and the screen is off.
If you're constantly using the phone with the screen on, no battery in the world is going to last forever. I can easily drain my battery in 5 hours if I use it constantly. On the other hand, if I actually let it hit deep sleep, it can last nearly 2 days. It all depends on your usage patterns.

And % remaining?
My statement still stands. You're using the phone, keeping the screen on. Doesn't matter if you turn the brightness down, it still drains battery.
Try an experiment. Actually DON'T keep using the phone for a while. Try not turning on the screen every 5 seconds for like a day. Then look at your battery usage and your screen on time.

Other than that it is always set to 816/216.
I usually get about 5 hours screen time and about 20 hours standby. Email and Calender sync at 1 hr, with a custom power profile that turns data off after 15 minutes between 3a-9a. I'm happy with it

Your profiles are similar to what I use, although I don't have one for charging/charging A/C
Also, you run 816/216 rest of the time? Aren't you short-changing your phone's capabilities a bit though ... ? I find the biggest different is having screen-off profile.

Not really. I change it to 1000/216 if it's spectral souls, gun bros or a benchmark. Angry birds plays on my fuze (lol) so i don't change it there. I have noticed little to no difference running 1000/216 on launcher screens, pictures, data rates or anything versus 816/216. If i bump it down to the 700 range then things get laggy, but as it sits 816 runs everything almost flawlessly.

Good to know, thanks! I'll try that, maybe squeeze out a little more battery life than I am now What are you averaging? I can go about 1.5 days with good usage as it stands
Strange, I can't have more than 15 hours if moderate usage...
I have similar profiles to the screenshot posted above, but I don't have one for when powered. The main profile on mine is 1000 max ~400 min. I've found that keeping the min ~400 makes the device always snappy without sacking much battery life.
I also use JuiceDefender to manage my data syncing. I leave the blur battery profile at high performance.

Depends on the day. If its a day off, i get ~30 hours with ~6 hours screen time from 100%-10%. Most days though i don't notice much, I drive around a lot listening to pandora in my car dock so its constantly being charged
If I can tear myself away from pandora for a day i'll repost something more meaningful.
On a side note, I notice with circle battery widget I usually get the slowest drain between 80% and 40%, not sure if anyone else has noticed this.
Small update to what I said earlier..
With my profiles, and all the crap running in the background this is what i got now from 100%-31%
1d3h11m since unplug
1d0h25m idle time
3h04m display
0h45m spectral souls (!)
Would go further but I am gonna be away from a charger all day tomorrow
i get the same battery life with setcpu and a display off profile than with no setcpu at all. my guess is that the battery saved gets wasted on setcpu itself.
I have the phone on from 7:30am to 12 midnight with no calls and 1 hour display time and i have just 40% less. No wifi at anytime.
Apps i only have gmail, no other email accounts, twitter at 15 minutes and whatsapp

You got something else wrong. SetCPU will definitely not drain the life it saves. you must have a beast app running in the back somewhere...
also, what kernel/rom are you running?

i get like 12 hours in my normal day i guess its to few :s but streaming music over BT like 4 hours and surfing web forums tweetdeck. not impressed battery for my usage :S
perhaps seems better than my N1. and seems when i enable data it drain more faster like 5% per hour screen off, and no data like 1% or 2

Yes, my question was pretty straight forward...what kernel are you running. From your response I see your English may be the issue here.
Anyway, reason I ask is because some kernels such as BFS kernels don't really play nice with my phone nor battery. So maybe the issue is with the kernel being used.

/sigh. XDA, a wealth of information, but a lack of patience and reading comprehension.
Anyway, I feel like the Atrix does better than the Evo with battery life. I might try fiddling with SetCPU, so thanks for the info.
HTC Desire with stock Froyo ROM
I've been using SetCPU 2.1.1a recently and have noticed no difference in battery life. Is SetCPU a placebo as far as battery life is concerned?
My settings:
Charging = Max. 998 / Min. 998
Screen Off = Max. 245 / Min. 245
Battery < 101% = Max. 998 / Min. 245
Battery < 25% = Max. 499 / Min. 245
If I "Disable Perflock" SetCPU says "Success: Perflock appears to be disabled".
Some say it increases their battery life, are they imagining it? I'm not interested in over clocking. I'd be very willing to buy it, if it increased my battery life. Thanks
Why are people using Setcpu to try to save battery life?
The whole point of Tegra 2 is ultra low voltage operation when the system is inactive..
Its absolutely counter-productive to use setcpu to try to already do what the chipset itself is made to do and not half as effectively.

This thread is covering more than the Atrix. I didn't want to start yet another thread about this, when there are already plenty. Besides the main SetCPU thread (with the download links) is in the HTC Dream section and that phone's ancient.
If someone can answer my questions please.
I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.
And juice defender also consume battery.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.
Sent from my LG-P500
i guess we are in the same boat then, better battery stats also show me nothing suspicous,
with little to normal use, my s2 can hardly go for 6 to 7 hours, everything off, only 3g on..
that is on stock rom, im now testing CM7 build 38
Charged 100% go recovery wipe battery stats..
It take sometime for the bateery to function properly.. a day or two.. so after the calabaration let it go to nearly 10% then charge till 100% without disturbing it.

most definitely, i was a big fan of Juice Defender Ultimate but the reality is it actually uses up almost as much as it saves, this was pointed out to me and it is 100% true, since i froze it yesterday im having superb battery life my phone wont die until tomorrow i estimate ill get up to around 40 hours with about 1 call, 15/20 texts and medium internet usage, and some music so far and ive 47% left, the battery was charged to 100% at 23.50 last night and i left it on all night with data enabled and the drain was only 6% in almost 8 hours..

I assume you are playing a lot wiht your new phone which drains battery because of the display. You should start tweaking display settings as xperia phones usually dont have auto brightness (dont know about Ray thou). Also get rid of that task killer but instead get memory tweaker or V6 super charger if you have root permissions. Try changing from 3g to 2g. As 3G coverage is not that good in India, you ll end up draining more battery even when idle.
Spare parts has auto brightness apk should work but I get 3 days out the neo so you should atleast get 24 hours

Moving this to General-Q&A section as I don't see any development here. It looks its related to other device model even.
I will move some others and try to keep development section only for development.

the phone drains on standby as if i was playing a game !!!!!!!
Hi guys - I'm sorry I dont have a solution but I will add something that I've recently experience with my Xperia Neo.
I move around alot within my job - travelling constantly around the city between 5-100km every hour or so and I noticed that during this time my phone's battery was below what I expected - it would last 12 hours and it would NEED to be put on charge.
I asked a friend of mine what he thought and he suggested turning off the 3G setting and selecting 2G only. This is the fix we tried and it appears to have worked.....but...
if only it was that easy - my phone appears to have come from China and so I actually didnt have a menu option to select 3G - the only option was 3G and nothing else, so I had to flash the phone with international firmware to get the menu option.
Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>network mode = GSM only

i have the same issue
when i opened the battery use menu, it shows THIS !!!
(i have charged it to 100%, disconnected charger, few minutes on stand by, had a phone call, stand by again...
after "that" time [more than an hour] the battery is spontaneously draining itself with EVERYTHING OFF {wifi, 3g, data, sync, gps, etc... !!!!)

I made thread on the SE forum with tips on how to improve the battery time, but if none of those help I suggest that you repair the firmware using PC Companion.

First of all I've search through the forums, google, samsung support and even friends with the SGS2 as well yet I keep having the same problem.
No matter what I do, play games or just leave it on standby my battery dies in 5-6 hours.
I'm on Android stock 2.3.4 non-rooted, Baseband version I9100UHK1 kernel version [email protected] #2 Build Number GINGERBREAD.UHKI2
Brightness always at minimun, I changed TouchWiz to go launcher with a minimal setup where my icons are just white text and my background is quite dark, I don't run any app like twitter or facebook or anything like that, just pulse but i have only 3 feeds on it and they have news pushed every 5-6 hours.
Also I have widget locker, and the app i semi-use a lot is WhatsApp.
The thing is I've hear the battery isn't the best but most of the people I know get at least 8 hours with it and is driving me crazy since I go to work around 7 and when I'm going to lunch I'm hitting 15%...
I can provide any info required but I would really like some help here, I want to know if maybe I had a defective battery or something or if there is something wrong with my phone.
Although If I'm on a WIFI the phone can last up to 10 hours, so perhaps I was thinking i was having a signal problem so I switched my network mode from AUTO to WCDMA only since I like to use the 3.5G network since in my country the 3G network barely reaches 256K...
I also have widget locker.
Well that's about much the info I think I can give so far... tomorrow I'll be posting a picture around lunch with the battery usage so you can see how fast it drops, it's amazing it takes me 7 minutes to get to the office and in those 7 minutes I would go from 100% to 97% easy...
Post a screenshot of your battery usage.
Sounds like an app is keeping your phone from entering deep sleep, try downloading betterbatterystats from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809&highlight=better+battery+stats to see if you can track down the offending app. There is plenty of explanation in the thread that should help you locate the source of the problem.
Ill be posting a battery usage screenshot tomorrow and getting that BetterBatteryMonitor since today I've been with the wifi all day.

Flash to hardcore's speedmod kernel solved the problem for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
download "Juice defender" from apps market.. it helped me extend my batter life about 1 - 2 hours with average usage.. and update the firmware via kia or manually flashing them into sgs2. i updated mine to KI8 and gosh it boosted my battery for about 3 - 4 hours.. also i have no idea if this help or not.. since i myself havent noticed difference but if u want to mess with kernels or roms... try flashing speedmod kernel with stock rom.. it disable few logs and speeds up ur phone abit
Two hours and im already at 50% i sent three text and made a 2 min phone call

It seems that while your screen is off most of the time your phone is waking alot during that time.
Download betterbatterystats from post 2 of the forum and select wakelocks to see what is causing this.

I did downloaded it, I'm waiting for a full run of the battery to gather the more information i can

There you go I just got the 15% mark... I got about 20mins ago a BBS dump to a file since I don't understand it much...
Here's the link for it in pastebin
http://pastebin.com/jfmg8U31
Any help would be awesome, as for now is 3:32 and I'm in 13%... I know it shouldn't last really long but come on... I'm going for lunch in 20mins... this is crazy.
Thanks in advanced.
Two more screenshots before it dies...

im not too great with BBS stats. What I do know however is that using the phone with no apps installed, then installing each app u like one by one always helps. As someone explained earlier your phone is awake a hell of alot more than your screen on time. Im currently on 27 hours with 3 hours screen on time and my batt is still on 35% so thats an indication of the battery life you should be able to get with the stock battery.
Your alarm manager is draining a lot of battery though, if i'm not mistaken, the alarm manager has something to do with apps that sync, so something that syncs is more than likely draining your battery. Just noticed you have liveprofile. I must say Liveprofile DRAINED THE HELL out of my battery, it doesn't happen to everyone but once I uninstalled liveprofile my battery issues went away real quick
Uninstall whatsapp and see how your battery is then.
Whenever I install one of those style of apps my battery life drops to what you have now. Uninstall and I gain a couple of hours all around.
Whatsapp shouldn't cause issues, I have used it since day one and most people report it to be fine. Liveprofile however just runs non stop
Are you using VoIP? If yes, try to disable sip registration. When I had it enabled, my battery would drop around 5% an hour on standby but now it drops 1% every 3 hours or something. Today I'm 12 hours on battery with a couple of phone calls, 20-30 minutes gaming, an hour of internet browsing, some music and wifi on for 5 hours and I'm still on 81%. I use Checkrom 3.1.1 with Speedmod kernel and ondemand governor with no underclock or undervolt. Brightness at 40%, a gmail account with push enabled and another e-mail account syncing every hour.
You should find out what app wakes up your phone so often and uninstall it. It may help if you flash another kernel too.
Ive always had a problem with whatsapp, nomatter how I configure it it will take on average 3hours off my standby time. Did it on my HTC Hero, Does it on my SGS2.
I try reporting it to the devs they just ignore me.
I uninstall it and my battery life comes back up to normal. I admit though that others are definitely worse, but I am just saying Ive personally had drain issues with Whatsapp over two different handsets over the space of 9months/a year.
Defo not whatsapp i have it and its never held a killer wake lock. But u defo have a badass wake lock. One of the worse ive seen. What social apps do u have? And whats ur syncing like?

install cpu spy to see if your phone goes in deepsleep or not
Install betterbattystats and see which apps are causing wakelocks and how long your phone is active while screen is off.
you can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
After one night running these apps, post some screenshots of it here (graphs of betterbatterystats and wakelocks)
You can find the graphs by going to betterbatterystats --> settings --> more --> history
Flashing roms you say?
What I've noticed, is that after flashing my phone to a different rom, it screws with the battery calibration. What happened with mine, was that I flashed a rom whilst the battery was at 50% and after the flash, it assumed that was 80%.
Have a shot at recalibrating the battery using an app called 'Battery Calibration' by NeMa, it's available on the Google Play store. Sorry that I couldn't post links, I'm still at a low post count
Let me know the results.
ok guys i'll try ur two ways
and i'll tell u my experience
thank u ..

there isn't any problem with your battery at all
your phone enters deep sleep very well , just to know
3g is battery eater , it can drain your battery about 4-5% in only 15-20 min
also decrease the screen brightness as higher brightness will drain your battery very fast , don't worry about your phone or battery
also if you want to save some % , underclock your cpu&gpu
and you may also undervolt , and try diffrent kernels
btw : the battetycalibration app can't do any thing with our battery chip , it is usefull only for other phones , our phone has a diffrent chip
the best way to calibrate your battery , just turn you phone off , and charge it tell 100% , remove your battery from it for about 2 min , then put iy again , and now it is well calibrated , or you can only charge the phone as normal and it will calibrate itself

first of all calm down. shouting gets you nowhere.
I'm afraid if he's telling you he's getting a solid 12hrs with constant 3g usage then he's lying, simple as that.
if I use the net on my fone using 3G then I can see the battery going down as I use. 12 hours is nonsense
Hi
I got my s2 a week ago. I use it all stock, version is IML74K.XWLPD.
For me android-os is a big post in my battery-log. If I just leave the phone on the table for some time android-os can be as high as 80%. Is this a bug or something? I checked my friend's battery-log on his s2 and he didnt even have android-os post in his list...
I have installed both betterbatterystats and battery monitor widget to see if any app is causing this. Then I saw the processes kworker00,kworker01, kworker02, kworker03...I dont know what this process is. Anyone have any idea? Maybe this is my problem.
I also installed watchdog but everything seemed to be ok.
Thanks
guys this is awful !!
