Just wondering since updated to XXLPQ if your battery life has changed compared to 2.3.6. Mine has suffered a noticeable decrease in battery life as i can notice a number of extra apps running in the background compared to 2.3.6. Any input/solutions?
Root with newest cf-root
Get titanium backup
Remove ALL useless junk
Juice defender works wonders for me
Reboot recovery
Clear cache and dalvik
Reboot
Edit: if you need anymore help just pm me..

Better Battery Life
In stock gingerbread I usually got 1 1/2 day of life with 2-3 hours of screen on. With CheckROM v6 I got around 2 days with 4 hours of screen on. Now with ICS and CF-root I got with the first full charge 1 1/2 day with 5:30 hours of screen on!
I froze all the junk that comes with the ROM, I only have a partial wakelock AudioOut_1 that is driving crazy. So far I'm quite happy with it.
Please search the forum we have so many Battery ICS threads already!
Battery life is def better with ICS, have you calibrated your battery since the update?

Wondering how many app/mails you sync.
And what apps you have frozen/deleted.
Mine is lot better with ics . GB was barely a day with moderate usage. stock lpq and not removed anything. Syncing the usual gmail Facebook etc.

I'm not having any real battery issues myself, but since quite a few people report it I decided to call Samsung and ask if they will provide a rollback to 2.3.5 or what they could do to alleviate the issue.
And the answer was, as a technician had told, to solve the battery issue I should do the following:
1.) Charge the mobile to 100%
2.) Let the device drain battery as "normal" until around 9%
3.) Then open applications that drain battery fast until the phone shuts off
4.) With the phone in off-mode and drained recharge it to 100%, and do not turn on the phone at all during this time
5.) Turn on phone, and the battery life should be back to normal
Seriously, this was the official answer I got from Samsung support technician. Sounds like some old woman's advice, but hey if anyone with battery issue want to try then why not. At any rate it can't hurt

Wifi and 3g on for 1 minute off 15 when screen off. Always on when screen unlocked. Using Green power free. dormancy at 70%. After 12 hrs battery at 40% with moderate use. Screen on about 4 hrs. with 2 hrs of music battery down about 5%. I'd say its best I've had in 5 months.

Finally, i tried this ics with it's official version firmware (XXLPQ), rooted, and no apps freezed/disabled, ... to make more challenging i sync 11 accounts, which ive never done in GB.
I'm actually pleased with how far this stock ics could stand, i got more than 4 hours screen on display... with 40% battery remaining...on wifi for couple hours,..well, to early to conclude...
Phone Stays awake uselessly
Using SLIM ROM 2.8 after switching from HyperDroid v6...the battery seems good..but the Android OS and Mediaserver thing is keeping the phone awake uselessly for a very long time..the 1st cycle running, 16+hours, 1hr 30mins of display..and the phone is staying awake for like 4hrs 30mins+ ..hope to get this solved..will post back after 2-3cycles!
Edit:-- on still on 55% battery

Isn't the whole "battery calibration" thing just an hoax? Been reading some lines around that disprove any effectiveness in doing so.
Usually, on weekends, or holidays, I use my phone for Angry Birds, many other games, music, etc for a long period of time. Today I managed to get about 5 hours use until the battery got to 30%.
I'm not sure whether or not this is good or bad and so I'm wondering; how many hours do you get out of it, in relation to being a heavy user, medium user or light user?
Thanks
about 5/6 hours max
With normal usage 24-30 hrs. Wth heavy use, 8-10 hrs.

pretty much the same
always have 3g on and im quite sure i listen to music for 7 hours at least while im at my office...and by the end of the day i have like 20%
10 days and still going
With all data disabled most of the time, almost unused, but still connected to the GSM network, mine is now at more than 10 days (and I think it wasn't even fully charged at the start of this period). This is with stock ROM, Apex launcher, almost no other custom apps.
It's hard to have an effeicient answer since it depends on many factors : the way you use your phone, your ROM , Kernel and all setting stuffs etc ... . And even with same settings , two SGS II can have a totaly different battery drain. So, you can compare but it wont realy be so efficient .
Anyway , for me with a usual use : almost 2d and with heavy use about 16-24 h. I m on Wanamlite 10.6 with last Siyah V3.0 Kernel.
At weekends 5 hours max weekdaus prob 8-9 hours
Mod or Die
Plenty of hourly syncing and light use....
Stock rooted KL1 + LPR radio
I have tried 3 different ROMs and with the last ICS ROM i had 8-9 hours with heavy use of 3G/Bluetooth/sync ... and of course it's depends of what apps (games ) i use among the day ...
awesome how some users get 24 hours with a single battery charge.
When I use my S2 as a normal phone, about 20 hours.
But with heaving usage and gaming (which I do pretty much) probably between 6 or 8 hours also.

Woah :O Doesnt matter had "10days" :O
i guess screen on time is more important than overall battery time. I Used to get 4hr screen on time with a full day usage which is quite good for me and i think its average.

+1 Agreed here are some on my screen shots.
Usually prefer to watch youtube video's through browser So flash is must & it is a nice battery drainer too.Plus 4 hours of non-music playback !
Brightness - 20%
When i use gprs heavily it is very less!
Normal use may last a day!
Playing games also burns the battery pretty fast!
I have a Superatmos ROM installed in my Galaxy SII i9100G and I get around 30 to 35 hours of standby time with normal to low use. I do however browse the internet over WiFi some 4 hours a day.
I am quite happy with the performance of my phone.
So far its three months but its like Triggers Broom .

Hi all,
I was wondering what a "normal" battery usage is for the S2.
Mine (cm9) 10% per hour, pretty much idle.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
There is no "normal" battery life. There are literally a million variables and thus no answer.
In terms of expectations - you would expect more life per charge from Stock GB, Custom GB, Stock ICS, Custom ICS in that order. Remember that ICS by its nature uses more resources generally and will not match GB for battery life.
Also, ignore wild claims about many hours with the screen on - it is a trick - they have the screen all black so no current draw...
Last time i was using Ressurection remix v1.3 AOKP i was getting 7 hours per 3% Phone was idle all the time Now i am using Thebyan 4.2 and battery drops 6% per 8 hours (idle all time )
And I am getting around 4:20 hours of battery life with normal usage ( screen on all the time plus Browsing via WIFI) Brightness - 10 percentage.
And while playing HD Games only 90 minutes !!
Well i prefer screen-on time over idle time

^^ this. Probably the best answer I've seen on here all week. No such animal. Just like there's no way you're going to get the same 'performance' with a given rom or kernel as someone else; which makes the "What's the best rom for <insert criteria here>' questions redundant and a waste of time as well.
This morning from 100 to 78 in 2 hours using edge and tapatalk xda forum. Screen at 50, GPS on, little Facebook. on formula one rom
Four days less if i switch the phone on .Even less if i use it .
jje
I get about 2 hours per 1% battery. That is with wifi on and screen off. If I have wifi turned off and airplane mode on I will get about 7 hours per 1% battery.
I always have my phone in airplane mode turned on, and wifi turned on, as I don't use the mobile network, and I am always in range of a wifi network
Cheers corey

CM9 and a lot of AOKP roms drain battery faster. Anyway my battery drain when idle is roughly 1% every 7 hours
well i get a decent life ,iam fully loaded an always install something,android is power hungry,so i don expect much of batt life...but i turn off wat iam not using like data,,,an in the night i listen to dubstep so i keep in flight mode an in morning switch back,so yes neva measured batt life,but happy....
Hi!
I just got my Xperia Mini Pro (a week ago).
I immediately flashed it with CM10 #146 and overall I'm satisfied with it's resoponsivness and performance. The only thing that worries me is horrible battery life, I just charged it this morning and now, about 6 hours later (20 mins of talking, about 15 messages) my battery's at 35%. I'm not using any data conenction, I have switched it to 2G only, my signal is strong, I have reduced screen brighness to about 75%, and I keep both BT and GPS off. I do use wifi, but that's like 10 mins a day. My phone came with a 1160mAh battery, which I know is not the most powerful one, but baraly 1 day of batteyr life in a brand new phone, and being forced to charge it every evening just scares me
Is this normal for these Xperias? My old Wildfire used to last about 2-2,5 days.
Yes. It is normal for me. I charge my phone everyday.
You can lower your brightness or apply battery tweaks to preserve battery life
Sent from my WT19i
You can try another kernel, for instance MESA 2.2, and undervolt a bit. I get about 2 days of battery with that kernel and some init.d and build.prop tweaks.
I don't really fancy any of those ubertweaked-hardocre-v6-megaoptimized kernels and stuff. Cyanogen mod does the job for me, and I don't really want to "overtweak" antything I'm just gonna have to stick with what I have I guess.
I don't think that flashing it with stock FW (which I'd hate to do) will help it?
Christ... I don't get it... A friend of mine has an Xperia LWW with the same battery, the same CPU, and she charges it like three times a week, while I'm gonna have to charge it like seven times a week. It's just wrong. I hope that the battery will get a bit better over time, and I'll be able to use for at least 24h without looking for the charger.

Yeah man, but i guess she hasn´t flashed cm10... ROM consumes battery as well. If you were on stock firwmare as i guess she is, then you would have almost the same battery backup
Always check that sync is off. Cause it will drop battery bar easily. Of course in case you don't need sync.
And check build.prop. there's 2-3 lines which will help the phone to deep sleep better. (Search xda)
I myself use aokp jb with messa kernel and with normal usage it takes me 1.5 day.

I respect all the developers but with due respect and personal opinion:
Kernel : Kernel PAnic v2.5(ICS) and Rage 3.0(GB)
ROM : Smultronic v 5.0(ICS) and Spartan v2.05(GB)
Brightness : 40%
Sync off
I get a usage of about 2 days on both of these roms...and if u are a light user i mean if u play no games them HyperBeamCream is really good for ICS.
well...1 day battery life is abt normal for our fones which have1200 mah battery,,,,can't help it:crying:
well the simplest way to take a step for solution is changing kernel to mesa cause with fxp 146 kernel there was a horrible battery drain for me also. Reduce the screen brightness & turn off 3g if u dont need it
i suggest mesa with CM10 too .
You could also decrease processor speed in standby, I think normally it's 250 but you can put like 125.
In cm10 mesa kernel does the job... It really saves the battery... And one more thing is that, give it some time... The battery will become normal after a few days of usage...

Post your battery life here and say witch L9 you have. And give the most details if you can
(I will get this phone next week want to see what you guys get out of this phone)
And i didnt see any thread like this. So i start one.
PEOPLE plz post also screen on time!!
edit have the phone. and it has good battery life will post mine soon also.
Battery life is very good, this includes mainly internet browsing with wi-fi and 1-1.5 hours of gaming, brightness always at 50%.
My cpu is undervolted a lot, for example I give only 860mv for 1000mhz, hotplug governor. I have 25% battery left so I could have about 4:30 hours of screen on time using the full battery charge.

Thx undervolt and its stable? Because i have th lg o2x and if in undervolt -25mv its okay but 50 its hangs every hour.
Not bad at all heavy 3d gaming i see. Dark night rises and spider man.
Ow and with 3g on or not? Also interested to see the 3g battery life.

I made massive overclock but it's perfectly stable for 7 days, here more about my settings:

Unfortunately I have not a 3g plan but I think it should also be good because L9 has a very efficient modem (talk time is one of the best, see gsmarena battery tests).

P769 battery life
I do not have a screenshot, but I have nearly gone 72 hours on one charge. I am using a rooted P769 v10g with most of the bloatware frozen. Wi-if, auto sync, and screen brightness at 50% during that time.

Lol. Granted it was a very inactive time for my phone. I just thought that it was pretty amazing for the phone to make it that long before needing another charge. On average I only have to charge the phone every other day.

This is about average for me. Sometimes as much as three days, but never less than 30 hours.

your guys battery sounds great;
mine only lasts bit more than one day
For some reason, my battery life has gotten worse than when the image was taken. I am insane, mental, and deranged about battery life so I will have more specific percentages soon. I have tried ending anything I suspected was using the battery to save battery life. When the phone is charging, I even take the back cover off my phone to disperse the heat from the battery. Welcome to the most useless and pathetic obsession in existence.
As you can see, the screen takes up the vast majority of battery life, due to being at 50% brightness. Any lower, and I would have to bring my own flashlight. I turn off wireless unless I use the Internet. One charge ranges from 3 to 5 days, depending on how bored I am in school and how much Fruit Ninja/Temple Run I play.
Here I am again with more battery life measurements. Playing Fruit Ninja causes the battery to drain 1% every 3 minutes or so. On the other hand, leaving the phone on sleep mode causes 1% to drain in about 5 hours. Also attached are app percentage power usages to give a sense of what is using up all the battery.

These are my results with above average use(wifi or 3g always on,sync every hour,a little bit of subway surf...)
5h ?? what brightness u were using ?? 30% ? this is cool
How can your battery last so long?? Mine has never lasted more than one day, never!
The screen is always on 50% brightness,except when battery goes under 20 then i set it to 25 %... The screen on is never under 4 h... With heavy use,battery holds through the day easy... I'm very satisfied with the battery life of my L9..
