After I updated to Nordic 2.1 and used v002 optimizer, I noticed I was getting awesome battery life. For the past few days I've used my phone minimally with sim card in, GV on, etc, but with minimal use to see just how good the battery life is now. Before, with 1.6, I was getting 2 days absolute maximum, even with minimal usage. Now I've gotten this: http://imgur.com/xNjaz.jpg (with 10% battery remaining).
Anyone else gotten better or comparable results? Personally, I think this is excellent, especially compared to having to charge nightly with 1.6 when I actually put it to some use. I think I could do some browsing, texting, calling, and stuff and not have to worry that if I forget to charge one night, it would die early on the next day now.
Wat did u do to get this amazing result

Flashed the Nordic 2.1 rom and ran optimizer v002 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829660).
Ive noticed my battery is better too, I use mine quite heavily, take it off charge about 8am and would top up the charge about 2pm. This last week ive not needed to top up the charge, the other day I got home from work with 71% left, which for me was amazing!
It seems they changed the standby power consumption.

i have the elegant white rom,its awesome low ram consumption speed etc.
BUT first to change stock rom(original from manifacturer)i could play 2 hours and 1/2 sometimes 3 without trouble with battery at 30/35% left now i play 5 mins and my battery goes from 93% to 87% in 5 min
so 6%x12=72%battery lost in 1 hours its bad really bad! i also installed the battery fix but notthing!in idle without playing i lost 2/3% per hours so this is good.
someone have my same trouble? it is normal?if so i should install back stock rom?
if i get stock rom again the battery should be fine?
the elegant rom is on stock 2.3.7 i had 2.3.3 when i bought this phone
sorry for bad english i have not much time
thx everyone
(already done calibration)

done 2 days ago after let phone shut down and charged until 100%
Roms based on CM7.2 do drain battery massively compared to stock so going back to stock would help.
Battery callibration does not help - see Here
Same problem here... Living with it cuz stock has just become old and lazy
But if you really want battery switch to stock its way better than cm

There isn't a noticeable difference in both versions in terms of battery life. However, 5.7 has better performance and is noticeable.
You can try underclocking to something like 730 MHZ and save a decent amount of battery life without losing performance. Check this OC kernel out:
OC zImage
Also, use Cyanogenmod, ADW launcher without customizations is faster than the stock touch-wiz UI launcher.

For all those who r shouting that battery calibration doesnt improve battery.. Did the XDA said it improves battery life?? Do u ppl know wats the meaning of calibration?? Calibrating means adjusting something to the accurate value.. Not improving the value!! Even we never said it ll improve battery life.. Battery calibration just calibrates the reading to more accuarte one. So let the ppl calibrate it. Else leave. It ll automatically gets adjusted after 1 or 2 week.. U can see urself the change..

Yes, many members on XDA said that callibration improves battery life. The battery indicator on your status bar does not use batterystatus.bin. It does not automatically adjust after 1 week or 2. It re-calibrates every time you charge!
Read the article posted by XDA for more:
google-engineer-debunks-myth-wiping-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
well i dont know about you all
but on my phone battery percantage isnt that accurate
cause when i unplug phone from charger and just open game or do something battery percantage goes to like 90%
but when my battery percantage is low like 18% it holds 30mins on 18%
I've tested many roms here and stock rod do tend to have better battery life, but... When i tested the RAZRv3 by TeamCooper, it had extremly good battery life.
When i got my Ace it had froyo, that lasted about 2.5-3 days. I upgraded to gingerbread official, battery lasted about 1.5-2 days on. Then i tried several custom stock roms and they all lasted about 1-2 days.
After that i started testing CM7 (both 7.1 and 7.2) roms and most of them lasted 12-18 hours (i used the wifi disables 3g function and some other tweaks to last the battery longer otherwise those roms would not have been usable)
Then i got to the RAZRv3 i used it for 2 weeks and the battery was amazing, it lasted easily for 3 days with no other tweaks than "wifi disables 3g" and also the performance was good. No lag!
Then i tested the CM7.2byFAT and the battery was awful but i really liked the rom so i keep 3g disabled when i dont use internet (all background apps use 2g internet) and now the battery last for 2 days.
As i've tested.... 3g takes really alot of battery in CM7 roms but in RAZRv3 (cm7.1 based) it worked like a charm.
So.. Everyone who wants really good battery life should test RAZRv3 that can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478807
Hi all,
Since I started using Lite'ning ROM v2.1 I noticed that my battery was draining very fast.
I went to my battery use and I saw that "Android system"was using 44% of my battery. Wake time is almost 6 hours...
Is this a known bug or is there a solution to this?

If the rom you are using is not yet a fully stable rom then it could have battery drain problems, although battery drain is usally how you use your phone. Look what apps are running when you notice your battery running down fast, as it could be one of those.
When im at work i actually only use whatsapp, and sometimes facebook while im on break. But my WiFi is off all the time then, only whatsapp and battery monitor were active. With 2.3.4 this wasn't a problem and my battery would be 60% when i came home...
Either google wakelocks and how to pin-point them, or wipe and install NO apps afterwards, run it for a day and if the same problem go to another rom till it's more stable .
What works fine in 2.3.4 has no garuntee's that it will work an experimental ICS build of any sort.
i have similar problem. my galaxy is on wanamlite 9.6, which base on LP7. after 5 hours of not intensive using, i have 65% battery left, android OS use 68% of this battery, most of time my wi-fi is off. when is on, drain battery very fast, over night even up to 20%. when i was on ginger bread it took around 6% - 8% with data and wi-fi on.

Do you have many widgets?
Especially Beautiful Widgets and Fancy Widget (moreover if you activate the meteo forecast) will constantly drain your batter in search for your position. Wifi uses less juice than 3G connections.
Happened to me back at GB 2.3.4. Battery went down to 60% in 3 hours (at the office I'm on G...so even worse cuz the battery compensates for the lack of coverage). After I removed Fancy Widgets from the screen everything went back to normal.
Don't have any widgets as far as I know, only the clock and twitter...
Today battery is know at 26% after 11 hours on battery. Process stil at 39% battery use.
I searched the web and found that there are a lot of users having this problem, especially with the Google Nexus.

Is it just me or is this phone the phone with the worst battery life ever seen on any device.
Seeing gingerbread on this phone is already annoying enough but the battery life is completely useless.
Considering that it has sealed in battery, we're truly stuffed. Can't understand it at all. Don't they test these phones.
I went to bed last night with the battery at 98% and woke up to find it this morning at 63%. Just ridiculous.

Also, there's also a battery thread, which isn't even on the second page of this section yet. Or did you make this just to start a whine

I am running .73 firmaware & have no battery problem.. 16-17 hours with heavy use is more than enough when everything is on auto update.. In my sleep time, battery goes down just 3-4%.
.73 Firmware says otherwise
same here after update (.73) it lasted more than 8hrs (heavy usage). 7:00am unplugged and came back home around 7:00pm with 20% left. Standby during sleeping now takes around 3-4% in sleep mode compare to 30-35% on firmware .63 or .62 (i forgot)
4 days here and still 23percent left...

Firmware does improve battery, gingerbread did wonders for the X10, but like everyone said the latest firmware does fix the battery, I had to charge midday when I first got my XS because the battery would drop very quick with heavy usage and half a day with moderate use, now it's last all day till bed time, thou it still can be improved.

try some batt monitoring apps from market and see whats draining ur batt and resolve the same either by force stopping those apps r deleting them if u find they r batt drainers
and also for ICS it requires at least one r 2 recharge cycles for things 2 settle down

Suggest you to root your phone and install a custom rom like wanam/slim etc. These will remove all unnecessary bloat wares giving u better battery and performance. (Do remember to read all the necessary info before u root).

Have you tried BadAss Battery Monitor?
imho: too many running services in background.. try to kill/freeze unnecessary apps(use link2sd), but most important thing is it seems that current ics is not optimally written/optimized, most kernel can help minimize this effect (but minimal e.g. speedmod)... if you can bare with this condition you ics is for you.. but if you are expecting an optimal performance of your sgs2, you should consider reverting back to gb ..
If you wish to remain on Stock Rom, please root your phone. CF-Root kernel here

Find out, with process drains your battery.
Use BetterBatteryStats und look for kernel wakelocks after display is 1 or 2 hours off.
I had the same problem a while back and battery would go down to 20% in about 5 hours. Did a factory reset because when I upgraded, I didn't wipe cache. I read somewhere that old gb code could cause issues.
After the reset, phone works great. I get to 50% battery in about 13 hours. If you can, give it a shot. Of course, back up paps with Ti, otherwise reinstalling them is a *****. :banghead:

oooor you can downgrade to Gingerbread and get a custom rom/theme for that awesome ICS feel and at the same time get awesome battery life
