Hey guys, just got my galaxy s2 i9100 and finished tweaking it.
my question is: is .4%/hr while the phone is idle normal?
btw I used batterydrain for monitoring.
I think i perfectly normal. Are you using sammy rom? I am getting .4%/hr too when in idle.

Yes. Use 2G network (if possible) and Turn off mobile data when screen is off. you will probably lose 1% in 8 - 12 hrs but does it worth it?
Normally I lose 0 - 1% (very rare) overnight

Are you losing 4% each hour ?
No sir this ISN'T normal at all.
I lose over 7-8 hours 3-4%, and this IS normal.
I suggest you read up about how to handle your battery over here The Complete Guide For Maximum Battery Life , please follow all the steps and you will too have the same drain.

From what I've been reading, if I've understood correctly, there's no need to charge before first use at all, just turn it on.
If you really want to be on the safe side with charging before use, just charge until the battery is full - there's no need for extra hours.
I'll link some good reading.

So this so-called record is unrealistic.
Who are you racing against?
I believe what most smartphone users try to achieve nowadays is good battery life while actually using their phones as they are intended to be used, not while keeping them in a drawer.

You need to have at least 3 charge cycles before you can experience the difference.
Yes when I first got my s3 the battery was pretty bad compared to iPhone 4. But do the cycles and find a good rom and it's a whole nother world. I suggest read a lot here and watch YouTube vids

Depends on what all you have activated and what all is running in the background. Switch off gps, auto sync, auto sync is the main cause of battery drain, also turn off wifi and 3g data when not in use, standby time on idle should be 1% drain in 2-3 hours as per the latest firmware LG8, im getting full day battery with normal usage with screen time of 4-5 hours...

Your rom is fine... Just use it for couple of days and you will see the difference. By the way, turn off gps if not in use and turn off NFC. Also turn off any gesture you don't use at all.
Enjoy your phone.
