Did you try Juice Defender Ultimate
Honestly, read a bit. There's already a wealth of information and many, many threads dealing with this topic. My advice, get an extended battery

I feel for your issues!
Lots of people complaining about the i717. Have you gone into the battery usage and checked how much screen time your using. At first I thought this phone was defective till I realized I was using the screen for 7 hours a day! That would fry most batteries.
Upgraded to hotwires ICS compounded the problem for me. Especially as I used Titanium backup to restore apps and settings I should have perhaps just re-installed....
Better Battery Stats (2-3 dollars) will show you which apps are draining the battery while it should be in sleep mode - this can ID serious offending apps.
Cheers - hope that helps.

If that doesn't help you figure it out, I grabbed an external batt.. Antek Astro2 8400mAh - covers me for about 2 days worth of play. Unfortunately I broke the Micro USB port on a drunken wipe out. Cant blame them for that.

Umm...you were never seeing 7hours of screen on time on a stock battery. Maybe 7 hours USAGE time, which includes screen off time. Def not seeing 7 hours of screen on.

most of that is sleep/standy time
trust me, you cant actually use your phone AND get a days worth of battery life,not gonna happen
and when i say "use your phone" that means the screen being on
nobody will show you a screen on time of 24hours,even with extended battery
I only get 2-3 hours of screen 'on' time before my battery dies...i also notice the severe drop on the battery usage graph from every time i turn the screen on to do nothing but browse for apps on the Play store. I just watch my percentage drop by 4-5% just from 10 min of use.
I'm running King Kang, one of the very best ROM's i've used so far and battery seems to be holding up...but i'm usually at 50% 4 hours after unplugging, but still testing. I've pretty much given up and try to limit myself from using my Note all the time Lol.
But check out the King Kang ROM. It comes baked with advanced Power Saver settings, SetCPU control, and other AOKP performance tweaks. You might see some improvement in your battery usage.
I get 4 hours screen on time and still get a full days use and then some. Comes off the charger at 10am and has 30% remaining around 1am more or less.
Im on wifi 80% of the day and I don't have many updates that can wake my phone. According to cpuspy my note spends 75% of the time in deep sleep. I wonder how many of the people reporting terrible battery life are not using the stock charger that comes with the phone and therefore not going into deep sleep?

I've had my photon for 9 days now, and up until two days ago, my battery would discharge AT BEST 10% per hour. I'm talking about the phone sitting in my pocket with 4g off and nothing crazy running...just draining because it apparently liked to drain. And charging was no better. I know many people have had no-charge issues, and mine would at least charge, but it was still bad - maybe 15% per hour on a good day.
Here's what DIDN'T work for fixing my battery problems:
1) master reset
2) rooting
3) CWM bootstrapping
4) running zip aligning rom
5) making sure nothing superfluous was running
And here's what did work for fixing my battery:
1) Go to sprint store and have them give me a new battery.
Oh my god, what a difference! I get about a 3-4% drain per hour now almost regardless of what I'm doing. Mind you, if I'm doing nothing with the phone, it may only drain a percent or two.
I wish I could see my old battery to compare the two, because I could swear my new one looks different (I saw the old one so much because I was always having to do a battery pull!)...but I can't be sure.
Anyone with battery issues similar to the ones I was describing may want to compare their battery with mine. If it's different, and people with good batteries are similar to mine, then we may be able to specifically request good batteries without just requesting a new battery and hoping for the best.
My battery:
The side you can see when it's in the phone -- the number on it is HF5X and it's 3.8v
The other side -- model L-L-L DC110719 (that's near the bottom)
SNN5890A (that's just above the barcode)
Anyway, I hope that's helpful, but really my point is just that the software MAY not be the issue (although that update is coming OTA on Monday). You may just need a new, GOOD battery.
Also, it's worth noting that I had all the random shutdowns and reboots everyone else had (and my phone ran hot), and this new battery seems to have fixed all that. I haven't had any random reboots/shutdowns since!
Good luck!!
So you had a bad battery... That's like putting new wipers on a car and then jumping ecstatically on one leg because now I can see better out the windshield when it's raining.
Hmm, yeah, I was just complaining about my battery as well, it drains about 10% an hour, just like you said, with almost everything turned off.
I just checked, and my battery model is LLL DC110629, which is different from the OP's "good battery" - can anybody confirm with me that this is a bad batch of batteries?
My battery has never even got warm. And battery life is great.

Lol -- seriously, though, don't miss the point -- the phone was acting up as if it were a software issue, but things cleared up with a new battery. No random reboots, no overheating battery, and no ridiculous battery drain. I originally thought some/all of those things were attributable to some software issue. Anyway, I was just trying to be helpful.
As far as the different batteries go, I thought my original battery was like a grayish-white. Definitely black now. Could be wrong on that, but that's my recollection of it.

My roommate and I both purchased Photon's on the same day. Mine worked perfectly, but his battery life was terrible. This was after both of us had gone through the painstaking process of properly calibrating the batteries and then rebuilding the batterystats file. He would, on average, barely get 6 hours out of his battery while I was getting more like 17. Sprint did a phone swap for him and after the recalibration he's now up around 14 hours on the new battery. I think that there may be something to this story about a bad batch of batteries. While they may not be "bad" in the traditional sense (i.e. they don't have a dead cell; Sprint tested the charging capacity of his at the service center), there is something about certain batteries that don't measure up to the OEM specs that Motorola has set out for this phone model.
Thought it may be fun to see who is getting good life and how heavy their usage.
please specify if you are using an OEM battery.
Here is the best I have had so far, OEM battery.

Hey genius, you're reading it wrong. It's not that the screen was on 42% of the time. It's that 42% of the battery that was used, was used by the screen. There quite a big difference.

I lose about 15 -20 overnight as well...I have a bunch of apps installed. If I set it to stock with no accounts (ie, no google facebook weather, no sync) no background data...I lose about 3 percent over night, but that's not very realistic, i need my apps and I'm a heavy google voice, google talk, and facebook user, so all thinks are syncing all the time plus a bunch of apps prolly running bogging down my cpus and the draining the battery. I see marginal difference between faux's kernel and the stock kernel...I still like faux's though.

stock battery right?
how is his usage look different than mine
I've been facing this for long now, as long as one month, today I finally decided to ask.
I've tried emptying battery and then charging fully, wiping battery stats (although I don't believe in it)
I've tried almost every method I knew, still no help. I do get good backup if I don't reboot. 20h total with 4-5h screentime with wifi/data on mostly (1650mAh battery) so I think battery's alright. (I bought S2 6-7months ago)
This problem first started on dorimanx kernel with CM10. Since then i've flashed around 100 times and i've faced it almost on every ROM with every kernel. I used to charge overnight upto a couple of months ago then my friend told don't do that. But I started facing this problem lately.
And Whenever I charge it after sudden battery drop, it charges quite fast, and if I keep using(lets say it dropped from 40% to 10%), it'll last as long as 40% battery should.
Any idea what could be the reason?
Regarding undervolting, I sometimes under-volt -50mv when battery's less and I need to save it and I'm not near charger, notmore than -50mv, my friend (developer) told this much UV doesn't hurt battery.

That sure looks like a fuel gauge. Some guys solve it thru siyah's stweaks I think. There are plenty threads about this issue, look em up, you could find a fix there.
Anyway, when you say "charges very fast after the drop" I'm automatically thinking about a possible faulty battery chip, it charges fast because it was never running on empty in the first place.

Yup, it was never empty, just shows wrong percentage, like I said even on 10% it'll last as long as 40% should. And if I keep it idle it'll go back to 40%within hours. And I did search.

This doesn't happen everyday, and I only know a couple of guys with s2, they both are more of acquaintances. I live in a place where owning iPhone is prestigious and all my friends own iPhones.

In that case how much the official 2000mAh battery cost in India ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
Well...if you are dealing with a faulty chip you're likely to get a new device if warranty isn't void.
Just buy another battery, they always come in handy. Or else threaten one of you friends
I don't know what to put here...any ideas?

I don't want to make my phone fat and cost of battery doesn't really matter, I'll buy it if I face it on stock ICS ROM. Or I'll go and ask service center guys for a new battery

I can not yet post to the development section so that is why I ask here.
I installed the Rom a few days ago and the battery is just terrible, the FAQ said if that happens just wait a few battery cycles but it has been a few, is there a special way that should be done? I have lost 9% of my battery within 40 minutes. I'm on att HTC one x +. Any help would be helpful, thanks.

Did you do a full wipe? And was your phone sitting the whole time in that 9% you lost, also if all this was yes install Betterbatterystats stats and let your phone sit for a few hours and you should be able to tell what is killing your battery.

try to give it a few more cycles
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Yes, to all of that, I will install that and see what's going on. Is a cycle just a low % or do I need to let it die? How does that work?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda app-developers app
Don't let it die, that's bad for the battery. I typically let it get to around 5 to 9 percent left and then give the full charge.

Thanks, I will do that, but it seems to be doing better now, but I still think it should be better, its going down at 3.4/hour right now. ( normal use)

You can try an app like Battery Calibration to wipe the battery stat log. Following the procedure can help the battery to be a little bit more efficient, but don't be to finicky about it, the battery gauge on HTC's phone are not very precise, and depending on how intense your are with your phone you should have plenty of power for a day, unless you are a big gamer. I personally have a charger in my truck and I usually give my phone some power charge during the day when I'm driving, it can be 10,20 or 60 minutes. It's a good habit to do so anyway...
Once we will have some modded kernels available, battery charges will last longer on our phones, but for now with original kernel, we can't do much about it. Try to disable what you don't need, WiFi is less power eater then DATA radio, close GPS if you don't need it, Bluetooth and so. Screen is a BIG power eater those screen are marvelous, but they need power to be bright and amazing like they are. We tend to forget they are not desktop computers, but we are all using them as such! I personally found the technology very impressived for what we can achieve on a single charge when I consider the tiny size of the battery. Don't take me wrong, it can and will be improved, but so far I don't complain with what I have actually.
This seem pretty normal? I'm coming from a note 2 so battery is obviously going to be worse no matter what comparatively.

Which kernel are you using? With stock boot.img it eats your battery even on idle and deepsleep so flashing a different kernel also helps with your battery issues. Flash OXP kernel and it makes a difference with your battery life.
I'm running elegencia 4.5.0 here and i can last for 1 day with wifi and data on with frequent use.
Ps- i don't play games.

Well it does seem that you need to run the battery down a few times before it will start working, and apparently, you must do this with every Rom update, from this Rom anyways.

Is it just me or is AOSP MUCH better on battery vs Touchwiz. It seems that when I run a aosp rom with a certain kernel, it lasts me throughout my whole work day of browsing and using the phone and I still have battery left over.
If I have Touchwiz, I have to connect it to the charger before I'm done with my shift.
Maybe you have some touchwiz features turned on, adding to the drain.

Funny you posted this. I experience exactly the opposite! I have all the TW gimmicks turned off and I consistently get much better battery with TW.

I tried aosp. Much smoother, even when using ondemand like stock touchwiz. Unfortunately the battery compared to touchwiz with most gimmicks off was not great. Not significantly worse... But noticable.

Yeah, I like AOSP much more but battery life is typically worse. However, ocsn usually make it through whole day on either so it's not s huge deal.

Well for me with my ZeroLemon 7500 mAh battery I usually get 3 to 5 days on AOSP

So I'm running CM 10.2 now. I have noticed a slight drop in battery but I was able to make it through the day, even staying up later than normal, without a problem. I'll have to give it a few days but the difference is easily noticeable. I'm just not sure it's a problem. I'll report back in a few days.

Umm... Like I said, I can easily make it through a day on either TW or AOSP. With TW ROMs I typically have greater than 50% left at the end of the day, AOSP is closer to 35%. Now, until I need my phone to last more than 2 days, I'd rather not carry around a giant battery that more than doubles the thickness and weight of my phone. To each their own, I'd rather have a charger in my backpack than that thing in my pocket.

Not to mention the lack of cases that will fit his extended battery.
I haven't used TW in a couple of months but from what I remember, I don't notice much of a difference.
