Hey everyone,
I maybe have to buy a new phone, because my Nexus S died, and I didn't get a reaction from Samsung yet. I'm about sure that my next phone will be a Xperia S, but I'm not sure about battery life, so please post your battery life screenshots here!
Please also give information about your rom, kernel, etc..

Battery life is great with the latest stock update, I'm a heavy user and I manage to make it for a day or so. Go for it.

battery is good even with data, IF you dont use the screen.
On screen time with stock is 5-7 hours. And if you play game continuously, about 4 hours
~5 hours + on screen and about 1.5 days of battery if you only use it for text and call. I'd tap that

Folks... I came here for the same issue.... I love this phone, I had an HTC Desire Z before, I am a heavy user and flasher...
But I hardly get 6-7 hours from my Xperia S. Today, I was at work, I kept checking FB, RSS, twitter every 2-3 hours for 10-15 minutes. Other times it is on standby, screen off and not used.
I have Viber running, weather widget, background syncing, emails checked every hour or two but no FB autosync and **** like that.
After 5-7 hours I am down at 20+% and hardly used it. Is this like that??????
Right after unboxing, I did the OTA ICS update. Should I do a clean FlashTool flash instead?

I agree. Sony gave my carrier (Vodafone Au) an outdated version of the ICS update. Vodafone then took forever to approve it. My ICS update has the wakelock issue and battery life has noticeably diminished. The launcher crashes now and then. It's still laggy to move from home screens. I mean how hard is it to make a decent ICS update given how late it was rolled out. And I find it's funny that in the ICS update thread A LOT OF users claimed that the early versions of ICS were buggy, and yet now when others complain about them they're branded trolls. Grow up for f's sake. If you dont have anything nice to say or help people just dont say it and keep being a fan boy.

ok so i am on ginger 2.3.3 with a day one x10a baceband 71 rooted with Custom boot loader so i can literally do anything except gain more battery life. i have tried ATK in the past and ditched it for Battery doctor cause i found when you charge with battery doctor i get about 6 more hours out of my phone. ad that to my 1800mAh battery from mugen power and i'm getting about 12 more hours then i did when i got the dang thing. killing tasks all the time deferentially helps. all in all i get about 24 hours...
what i'd really like is a custom rom that is Ginger that's whole point is battery life... i'd really like to forget to plug my phone in and not panic in the morning cause i'm at 10%
i have looked though allot of roms but can't seem to find anything with all the battery eating junk ripped out it seems most of them are putting more junk in
Are there any good LITE roms out there?
Define anything.
Try ThGo2 v7.0
Best ROM in terms of battery.Using it.I charged my phone fully and slept (11PM-9AM). Received 5 SMS and 3 Missed calls,but battery still at 100%.

Sound to me more like it your habit rather than ROM/Hardware .
I wound't begin the debate here about ATK, but since your post doesn't provide any technical info. Let's try this..
> Seriously, stop using ATK.. it would just HIDE the real problems.
> Remove all unnecessary widget... clock, time, weather, photo, blah blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it significantly better?
> Remove some background-apps; viber, whatsapp, skype, trillion, imo, msg, brb, blah, blah, blah
> Wait for a few hour, is it better?
Well, it should... (definately )
Some geeks down here... skip it if you're lazy.
Actually, you will need to understand something that it's not really about ROM.
Most custom ROM provide you some 'minfree' tweak. Let's make it simple.
Case 1, minfree is 60MB (most custom ROMs)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 60MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 60MB.
Case 2, same thing with 30MB (Stock ROM)
> droid will just fill the memory with lots of apps till RAM is 30MB.
> droid will start killing the task aggressively when RAM is below 30MB.
So, using ATK means....you shot everything to pieces, and droid just recovers it back..
or.............................you and droid trying to shot everything down.....
doesn't sound useful.. does it?
ATK is then.. useless.. unless there are some legacy no brainer app eating CPU and tell droid that 'I'm busy doing my (stupid) job, go away and don't kill me'.
Alright, that's NOT the point about ATK.
My point is, if you having too much apps, beyond 'minfree' level, there is no way you can save the battery whether using ATK or droid itself.... ATK just hide it, and make it worse.
This is why most people get a decent battery life with stock, since it provides lowest minfree level (around simple 30MB), with a cost of system performance, which is one of the reason that stock one is the slowest one.
So, what you need to do is to adjust number of your running apps, close to the minfree level.
Or adjust the minfree level (autokiller memory optimizer?) to match your current usage.
So, all in all, if you're using custom ROMs, stop using ATK, uninstall any stupid apps till free memory is running around 60-80MB. This will give you 'optimal' (not best) battery life.
384MB is not decent enough for X10 to become a multitasking speedy beauty with decent battery life.

Try installing JuceDefender from the market. If after trying it for awhile you find an extreme difference in battery life then your problem is probably with one of your apps accessing Wifi / Wireless data all the time.
Another thing that could be causing it is if you're in a very low signal area. Where I used to work, I was lucky to get 12 hours out of my phone. Right now, it's been off the charger for 11.5 hrs and I'm down to 82%. In this case shutting of wifi and wireless data will help.
Sorry I can't offer any more suggestions. Good luck man.
I use battery Dr. for killing tasks as it helps by doing calibration charges when you charge your phone from under 20%. So I get more battery life than I did with juice defender
Also I get full bars on an hsps network at both home and work

I agree, I use JiuceDefender and if you take the time to set all the profiles it will help alot. Service area signal is also a key to battery life. Also try Battery Calibration App from the market, it will reset your battery stats. Make sure and leave the app open untill battery charges to 100%. Then let battery go till phone shuts down and charge again to 100%, That has been the best fix for me, plus Wolfberak's 2.3 rom's.
Ya using wolf note and I'm liking it.it's giving me my 3 days so I'm good.... I'd like to point out that juice defender as a few cool features but battery doctor seems to work better it has full cycle charging built in as well

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
I flashed CM9 on my GSII on Friday and ever since it's had 5-6 hours on usage. I've tried doing the battery calibration stuff, seemed to be better Monday and today it had 50% after a few hours of gaming so that seemed normal but then i reset it and it dropped down to 10%. I tried calibrating again and still 5 hours.
I've been using that Battery Calibration app and it game me 40% charge at ~3500mV. I'm not sure whether that is the battery volume but seeing as 100% was 4200mV something seems wrong.
Anyone have any ideas?

But I´m still test the slim rom with neal kernel and have 53% battery after 30hs. with a general purpose.-

As was already pointed out, bad battery life is almost always a rogue app keeping the phone awake, install Better Battery Stats and CPU Spy to monitor wake locks and deep sleep, if you find a problem with an app keeping your phone awake, uninstall it and your problem will likely go away. Personally, I've been running CM9 and other variants of ICS for months and I get less than 1% per hour of drain while the screen is off and the phone is asleep, this is better than Gingerbread was.

Right, but background sync can still hit the battery, even with screen off. I was just curious.
Ive had days with horrible drain but it was almost always an app doing something dumb and keeping the phone awake, bad cell reception or a noisy wifi router. The trick being to identify wake locks that seem suspicious and track them down.

My battery life increased severely going from mySENSEdxRC3 to myONEdxRC2. Before, it could hardly manage a day. Now, it's closer to two days (and this is with two hours of MP3, two ours GPS [endomondo]). Also, Wifi seems a lot snappier in myONE that mySENSE.
Just my 0.02€.
Yeah, will try something different than mysensedx+, maybe the new fulmix ROM. I'll report back if battery life is better then...
Omg. I reflashed a rom this is showing wrong now!

Hey guys,
I'm a new Galaxy S2 owner, since I was able to get a real / near new condition galaxy S2 for cheap I'm having an issue with screen on. I have seen loads of posts, tried loads of things, but haven't been able to get over 4 hours screen time. Now before people say 4 hours is enough, it isn't. I use my phone for everything and I need it to last at least 6 hours with screen time. My standby time if I leave it is around 12 hours. That's it.
Now before you go and say go and get a bigger battery. I have. I have the extended Samsung Galaxy S2 Official 2000 mah battery some people I know have been able to get 5 - 6 hours screen time no problem. I'm lucky to get around 3 hours.
It seems screen related and if I put the screen to auto brightness my battery is halved from the 3 hours I get. I just don't get it. I have tried Stock Samsung Firmware, to The latest and greatest Neat ROM. I was able to get 5 hours and 49 minutes some how, once. But now I can't reach anything like that. It's killing me as it is such a great phone and I don't want to get another stupid bulky battery.
Any ideas on kernels? Different ROM maybe? I want to stick with jelly bean but if people can better screen on time with different ROM's I'd be happy to switch.
Thanks for the quick read, Hope you can help me before I just sell this phone again, Which I don't want to do, it's a great piece of tech

Smartphones are battery hungry fact. But im abit like you where battery life is important.
I came across Neatrom, Im now getting 7hrs screen on time. I also use greenify from google play which stops apps running in the background which helps abit.

Hate to say it but I am on NeatROM, the latest version. And I understand they are battery hungry but my Acsend G300 could easily pull 9 hours of abuse. And this phone has a bigger batter and what I was originally told a more power efficient screen :/

Neatrom lite? Is your battery new? Have you done afew battery cycles? As it takes afew cycles to settle. Power saving mode enabled?I highly doubt you will get 9hr screen on time with the s2.

Yeah it's neatrom lite 5.2, battery was brand new and sealed. Battery cycle as in fully charge, fully discharge? I have done every time since I have got the battery. I have power saving enabled. I would be happy with around 5 hours screen time, That'd be perfect. I use spotify in the car every morning for an hour and in the evening for an hour and two and from work related travel. But apart from spotify I use facebook, whatsapp, but that's mainly it, i don't see why it has to just drain so quickly. I also have green power switching off data when I lock the screen and it re-switches it on every 10 minutes to sync my stuff. That kind of helped. But not a huge deal.

Thanks, I'll try some of these tips now and update my ROM, appreciate it ! I'll be on here more often now
By any chance would anyone know if there is any of the latest gapps inverted??
And I mean the latest latest, not half a year ago :/
Also is it a good idea to disable fast dormancy? Will it affect any of my apps or my phone ?

Is it possible to have a dark theme with neat rom (as in like the dark slim toggle on slimbean?), I have installed apollo, seems way better, 1 hour screen on it and 13% drain Also removing the samsung push service has helped a ton!

Not trying to annoy any mods, but bump. Just want to find out since I'd love to be able to turn neat rom in to a power saving legend by using mostly black apps

I dont think so. There are theme mods for Neatrom but Ive never looked into it. Biftor rom lets you change the colour of almost everything maybe give that a try, link below

Yes, 4.3.1 inverted gapps are available from lots of devs, I use team black out updater (available on Google play) which makes life very simple, check it out
