Hi,
I've normally had a great experience with the battery life on my S3, normally in eves of 24 hours, yesterday I managed to achieve a grand total of 11 hours.
There are two things that I can see might have caused this.
1) - I used a charged from a blackberry as I'd left my S3 charger at work. It doesn't put out the same output as the S3 one, but did get it to 100pct it just took longer.
2) - I got a notification for an email just after midnight, so the led was blinking for over 6 hours.
there was nothing abnormal when checking in the battery app, standby took the most cpus as normal.
As it doesn't happen all the time I haven't installed any of the recommended battery apps a yet, but do you think it could have been due to either/both of the issues above.

I have no idea how much the led light would affect the battery but I have actually disabled the led light from coming on between the hours of 1am and 9am just so the led isn't going off all night.

If you are using JB you can use blocking mode.
Settings > blocking mode, uncheck all boxes except "Disable LED indicator" choose the times, and enable.
Using ICS you will need to use an app.

It's built into jelly bean - blocking mode. Don't think it comes with TouchWiz ICS roms

I have tried everything. I tried various ROM's, SpeedMod kernels T27, T29, T32, and T39, and the stock ROM, and NOTHING is working! I cleared out my Dalvik and cache partitions obviously, and I caliberated the battery. Nothing is working!
I used the phone for 8 hours today, and the battery dropped to 50% in those 8 hours. I had the display on for 1 hour and 30 minutes, browsing Tapatalk and the internet. I made no phone calls at all. Besides that I listened to music for 45 minutes, but that's it. The rest of the time it was on standby in my pocket. This is running Lite'ning ROM v6.1 and Speedmod Kernal T39. However, no matter what combination of kernels and roms I try, the drain is pretty similar.
I have the stock android weather and news app set to update every 3 hours, and K9 Mail to fetch new mail every 15 minutes.
This is with Wi-Fi off, GPS off, and bluetooth off.
What could be affecting my battery so much? Is there any information I should post here from my phone so you guys could see what is causing this? I can't even use my phone for one day without the battery completely draining.
Well, you problaby already knew this, but the real life-sucker in the SGS II is definately it's screen. Get the brightness down low and make the screen timeout after 15 seconds so that you don't waste any unecessarily battery.
Can't help to much otherwise, just got my SGS II a week ago, still getting to know it myself. But hope that helps abit anyway.
There may be other apps synching in background. In my case fluent news trend to hang around. Check if every app is doing background work.

I can assure you mine is worse, drops to 50% in 6-7 hours, but as the other person has stated, the screen is the culprit, when I used the phone longer than you, I would expect worse battery life.
Gosh how I wish this phone was equipped with more energy-efficient, less bling bling screen. SAMOLED+ is only good for show-off, which I usually don't do.
Theres an app called betterbatterystats on the xda forum. Use that and see whats draining your battery, especially in the wakeloks department.
Updated Facebook? It's raping batteries so hard it should be on the 6 o'clock news tomorrow night. Or, you know, pretty much anything these guys say here.
Try to use Betterbatterystats and see partial wakelocks and cpu spy to see if you have any problem with deep sleep! Also take a look to battery usage and the percentage of Operating System Android

i definitely agree with this. i unticked the auto adjust brightness, and i set the screen brightness to the lowest value at all times (it's super amoled anyway, the screen is still visible even at the lowest settings).

Make sure you sign out of facebook chat. I had a funny feeling that the chat was keeping my phone awake. Turned the chat off and I have had excellent battery life since.

First of all I think you are wrong when you say OLED uses more power than LCD. Remember how these screens work, LCD lets light go through and is completely back-lit all the time while OLED screens emit light from pixels that are not black.
On the other hand, the real problem with SGS2, in my opinion, is the reason phone never goes to sleep. If you take a look at screenshot I attached you'll see that screen on my phone was not on all the time but battery drain continued. Also, "awake" bar is full meaning phone never got the chance to go to sleep.
I have no clue how to fix this, maybe someone with more experience can help. I use to have HTC Hero on which I could turn off "Always on" in network settings and get phone to sleep often and save battery that way.

Display drain about 1% every 4 minutes of browsing, this is in your case 22,5% .
Every 15 min email checking and the automatic update checking from other apps does the rest. There is nothing suspicious with your battery drain.

Bad apps?
I've had bad battery drain for the last week.
I've rooted, romed, unrooted, changed every setting I could. Nothing has really worked. I'm was losing between 5-10% an hour.
Then I just wiped everything and re-installed the stock 2.3.3 firmware and started re-installing apps an hour at a time.
Battery burn was going good about 1% an hour installing about 5 apps in an hour until I installed TM World Clock.
Within an hour I had a 10% battery decrease and Watchdog saying that Event/0 and Suspend were consuming the 90% of the CPU. I uninstalled...it went back to a 1% and hour battery drain for 3 hours.
Re-installed TW World Clock to see it was a fluke. Within 10 min. the phone dropped 2%. and Watchdog started sending warnings for Event/0 and Suspend again.
There might be certain apps that aren't allowing the Galaxy S2 to go into a deep sleep...explaining why the problem is so random among different owners pending on installed apps.
Hello everyone,
From yesterday i started facing a strange issue due to which i am experiencing serious battery draining issues.
My battery started draining 1-2% every 5 min in idle mode after i played a game named crazy fist . next day i factory resetted my phone. In idle now it is not consuming any power but when i do some work on my phone , it consumes alot of battery and it.drins like 1% every 2-2.5 min.
Charging time is normal. But discharge is pretty fast.
So i checked thr battery usage inside settings.and noticed that my display is consuming about 41% of the battery and android os arnd 13%. I am not sure qbout os usage but thr diaplay is consuming too much power. I think initially it used to consume 13-20(max)%.
Or is the usage correct? I am using sgs2 stock midel and have no intentions to root it.
Kindly assist and reply asap. Thanks in.advance,
Siddhanth
the display on the galaxy s2 does drain alot of battery if your using it for quite a while..thats what they call screen on time..my battery was draining fast and i panicked... when you do use your phone how long do you use it? say do you use to browse like for a good hour non stop?
if you was rooted i could of gave you some options but here is a link to help you read and give you some tips on battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234264
charge your phone fully and drain it without switching it off..charge it again without taking it off charger i say leave it for a good few hours...do the same thing for a few charging cycles and see what the battery like is after that..but check the link
But this strange thing happened to me aftrr 1month.
I wss never rooted.
I mean this is the first time my display is consuming 59-61% of the overall battery. is this normal and does it hsppen to u too?

i thought the same as you buddy. never realised it in the start when i had my s2 but then checking the battery usage and i panicked...its normal for the display to drain the battery alot..
change your brightness to auto and there is an option in settings and display where you can tick to have the display autoadjusted. thats for brightness..
or do what i do and have your brightness on the lowest settings and see how it goes from there...fully charge your battery let it say for 6 hours then let it drain till it dies down without any breaks and then charge it again to the max..do the same thing for a few times and check whats the battery after a few days...

when calibrated your phone you leave it on of course and charge it without any interuptions...when you let it drain with out any breaks like switching it on and off, once it dies down then plug to charge it.....it will charge and it will give you the battery icon...once its fully charged you can see by the battery when its fully green switch your phone and your good to go...

hey buddy sorry for the late reply..go to market and download the battery calibration app by Nema..once you installed it charge your phone fully go into the app and just follow the instructions and then you should be fully calibrated..
but download the app first

I have a stock rom. and i dont want to change the rom before my warranty period gets over.

Is ot the same page which says xdadeveloperedition.apk?
If not brother provide me the link here.
If you or anyone else wants to get PHENOMENAL battery life of let's say 15 hours of use and still have 40%-50% battery left on a regular stock battery on the Rezound, just follow these steps:
1. Go to Settings - Power - Power mode Choose "Economy"
2. Back at Power options, Click on "Economy mode setting" I left the setting as "Normal" which means that the only box that was unchecked was "Disable background data"
3. Back at Settings, Click on "Accounts & sync" Uncheck the "Auto-Sync" box, but leave the "Background data" box checked.
4. Using whatever Screen Brightness tool you want to, set the screen brightness to no more than 20%. The only exception to this is if you are out in the sun and really need to see your screen while in the sun (navigation or etc...). Other than that, I never need it to be brighter than 20%.
5. Because of these changes, you will have to manually "Refresh" your email app to check for new mail. Other than that, everything data wise should work as normal.
I always have my 4G LTE and GPS on and ever since I did this, I have been getting RIDICULOUS battery life! This best it has been is when I charged it completely and unplugged it at 10pm and the next day around 1pm I still had 62% battery left. On a normal basis where I take it off the charger at 8am, with normal use (3 hrs of music, 1 or 2 of web surfing and video watching, 1 hour of phone calls, and Google Talk and Google Voice and GMail all day *literally*) I have about 50% battery left at 7pm.
Disclaimer: I have "Bump Charged" my battery before making these changes. However, I never saw this type of battery life until I made the above changes. Also, if you constantly watch video (Youtube or etc..) you will not see quite this performance, but it will still be much better than what you are currently experiencing.
Enjoy
Turn off data and you can get multiple days on battery

You can also use the app Screen Filter to turn off the bottom row of leds.

So you have an extended battery then? If so, might be good to include that info in your post just to be clear. Not that that wouldn't help any battery, but the stats will make more sense and the answers to your poll may be more accurate since people might think their results aren't as good as yours if they're using a regular battery.
I'll change my settings and try it since I don't need instant notification of emails atm. Thanks for the tip.
When I change the power setting to Economy, I lose 4G.
I am eager to try this, but I gotta have my 4G. Any suggestions??

You can bump charge the normal battery as well.
So what exactly do the power modes do? Are they just presets for certain settings? or do they control CPU scaling or anything else? I've always just left mine on normal with auto sleep enabled
Edit: I also wonder what affect the "auto start task manager on startup" option does exactly, and if having that on improves battery life, or if it is referring to the task manager in the notification bar quick settings

I used that app for quite sometime on my Incredible when I ran a sense rom (cm7 allowed me to set the buttons leds off on its own).
Fyi though, when screen filter is active, I am unable to install an app. When you go to install an app, and you are on the screen that shows the permissions with the install button on the lower right, I have been unable to click the install button with screen filter running. I just run screen filter again to deactivate it and the install goes fine, then I just run screen filter again to get it running again.
It's a hassle, but a small price to pay to get those led's off if you dont want / need them.

I am curious about this as well... I know the kernel supports multiple governors for CPU scaling.
I am also not sure what the task manager is that it refers to. It might just start the app in the background.

Tap the graph and it shows a bar that shows signal strength over time. That would help to figure it out.

Hi guys. My current build is 32.2.A.0.305. Since this or the previous software update I have an issue with charging my phone. Every 2-3 charges (which roughly take about 2 hours) it forces me to charge my phone for about 8 hours. Now since I'm travelling a lot it tends to be an issue since I use my phone heavily. In a recent software update I was prompt with a new feature, which was to save the battery life if it is switched on, but the power drain drawback would be higher. Unfortunately I agreed and I completely forgot where the option was. Could anyone guide me to it? Would be most obliged.

Since this phone don't have LED indicator, I used AOD as replacement for notification. Actually, it's consume not much battery. With average usage I can get around 1 ~ 1.5 days of with SOT around 7 hour, with AOD automatically enable between 7am to 10pm.
The problem is, with AOD enable if I put it in dark room I can see a noticeable low visible light coming from the display panel. Even tho it's not hurt battery so much, it's not pleasant to the eye. With AMOLED, black background should be true black.
I have 2 unit of Galaxy J7 pro, both have the same issue. That is why I'm asking if you or other owner is having the same problem. Could be caused by Samsung's AOD implementation...

Since this phone don't have LED indicator, I used AOD as replacement for notification. Actually, it's consume not much battery. With average usage I can get around 1 ~ 1.5 days of with SOT around 7 hour, with AOD automatically enable between 7am to 10pm.
The problem is, with AOD enable if I put it in dark room I can see a noticeable low visible light coming from the display panel. Even tho it's not hurt battery so much, it's not pleasant to the eye. With AMOLED, black background should be true black.

Same problem here and it seems it's a common one.

Exactly.
At the moment I'm using Always on AMOLED app now and it's nice, though I'm not sure about battery usage.

Already tried that apps. Battery drain is worst than stock AOD
decent battery life

Actually this one is not bad, in fact it's quite all right with all the customizations. The problem is that it is closed by the system automatically. I gave the app special permissions so the battery optimizations do not affect it, yet again it is closed

Is your phone rooted?
