As I'm looking at the usage. Maps seems to be the biggest component but I haven't used Maps at all. And location services icon is basically on the whole time. And I tried disabling everything and that icon is still there. I wonder if thats the issue.
I left the phone on my desk (no wifi) at 50% and when I work up, it drained to 4%. That's a big no no.
Wondering if anyone is having the same issue.
Thanks,

That's very odd. I'm not having that issue at all. Something is truly chewing your battery up.

I also had camera issues where my camera app would open the lens. I had to do a full reset/data on the phone. I'm trying to figure out what's causing my issue. I could of charged it wrong? I don't believe in that myth but right now, i'll believe anything.

try opening maps so it can get a lock on, then exiting. maps might be running in the background.
Maybe play with it for a couple more days, and if you keep having issues just exchange it for a new one.
That kind of battery drain doesn't seem right to me. I I'm a fairly heavy user and I'm able to get almost a whole day out of the battery

I definitely don't have this issue but it sounds very reminiscent of the maps/latitude issue that plagued jellybean roms for a while and prevented deep sleep. I would try to get a maps gps lock and disable location sharing in latitude settings and see. If it persists have it swapped.

Yeah, I had the same problem, go into maps settings and turn off location sharing and background location reporting and see if that works. :good:
I've been having awful battery drain too. I know the phone has pretty solid battery life - it's clear that something is draining my battery.
Here's a screenshot after about 2.5 hours off the charger. I was at around 67% and only had used 30 minutes of screen on time. The screen had used likr 4% battery...and apps were at 81%.

Most definitely a wake-lock issue. Something is staying awake. Go into gsam, and on the launch screen look at the app usage list on the bottom. Something will have a very large % of usage. Then you will have to deal with that app.
I assume your post was in reference to the OP - however, looking at the app usage list doesn't always tell what app is causing problems.
Look at the screen shot I posted right above your post. The top 3 %'s aren't apps, and it really gives no reference as to what could be causing my kernel to be so high ont he list.

If you choose app usage, then press the little arrow at the top right of the screen, it will list options. Choose the one that says "view time held awake". This should show you the offending app.

Oh, true. Thanks for that! I've never known about that feature. I'll have to check it tomorrow during the day and see what it says. I have a feeling it's just going to say "Android System" or "System *wakelock*" though.

i've had pretty decent battery life with my thunderbolt. two things have happened recently - i didn't charge overnight and the phone was dead in the morning (was at 75% when i went to bed) and today, battery dropped from full charge to 60% within 2 hours with nothing going on at all. today when i picked up the phone after being idle, it was very warm. after a reboot it cooled down and the battery burn went back to normal.
my only conclusion is that some program or another is chewing up the battery bigtime. the question is what is it?? anyone have any thoughts on how to figure this out? i have most things shut off, have stopped blockbuster, etc.
this is a great phone and we just have to figure out what the misbehaving programs are....
eric
This is what I'm thinking as well. mine died at 4am from being at FC at 12a. It hadn't done this previously. Go to the 4g signal thread and see if anything you have running in the back ground matches up with mine.
You can try a program called spare parts. Look under battery history and check out all the options in there. I had the same problem starting last night and today, but I haven't figured it out yet either.
Have you restarted the phone? I have much less drain since doing so. Don't fast boot it though, it didn't help when I tried to fast boot it first.
System Panel from the Market might reveal issues as well.
Also take a look at the Current Widget and its logging features.
I've had my suspicions as well about something running in the background. Sometimes it seems like the battery just drains endlessly. I made a profile in setcpu to limit the max clock speed to 245 while the screen is off only. Ever since then my battery life has been awesome.
This morning after being off the charger for 24 hours with moderate usage the day before, an hour and a half with screen on and 45 minutes of phone calls. Still sitting at 47% battery left.

System, panel is easily the best tool for this issue. Free version is great, a t the paid version gives you specific app tracking.

That should tell you what's chewing up your battery turn down the brightness on your display a bit and disable Blockbuster and your battery life will be noticably better.
Did you recently download Speedtest's app? Yesterday my battery was draining unusually fast, and when I pulled up battery stats it said Speedtest was taking up 85% of my battery! I uninstalled it when my battery was around 80% (after an hour of being unplugged) and my battery went back to awesome. Got home last night about 14 hours after leaving with 40% battery left.

90% battery after 12.5hrs!
I keep all the radios on (4G, 3G, wifi, bluetooth, gps) and brightness set to auto.
...
I couldn't do a screen shot from the phone cuz no root yet
Manl, that's insane how efficient the new dual cores are!
Only if you dont use the phone. Hence your display percentage so low. Mine went about 12.5 hours on battery with the display on for 3h total
That is one thing that I don't understand about this phone. Sometimes, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it for 12 hours and the battery will still be in the 90's like you see above. Other times, i'll pull it off the charger and not touch it and it will just slowly drain and be into the 60's or 70's after 12 hours (and it's still sleeping). Don't get it. Signal is always good here too.
I get about 3 hours of battery, and I don't even use it for calls really.

I know why my battery life sucks. I use it way too much... Lol... Underclocking to 685mhz works pretty well and the phone isn't all that laggy. It is definitely bearable.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The only days I get battery life anywhere close to that are the days that I am super busy and just don't touch my phone, except to answer a call or text. Days where I have too much time, I'll constantly be on my phone playing games, researching things, youtubing stuff, listening to music, and on those days I'll get 9-12 hours, which is still good in my book. It'll easily go over a day with very light usage. I can leave it off the charger at 100% over night, and it'll be at 97% or so when I wake up, but as soon as I get on that XDA app for 20 minutes I'll be down to 75%, lol. It's ironic that the XDA app is such a major battery drain, and that is one of the apps that I use the most.

If you get '3 hours of battery and don't use it for calls' then you either have a defective phone or lying. I do vallet and play Video's all day work 5PM-4AM and I never have to charge my phone although close to dead by the time I leave. 3 hours? I don't think so.
Fact 1: 9 times out of 10, if you don't use your phone at all, the battery will barely drain.
Fact 2: If you were to actually pick up and use the phone, you wouldn't get nearly as long out of the battery.
That's something that baffles me about people and keeping track of battery usage. They leave their phone sitting there over night and all day without touching it, and then have kittens when the battery percentage barely goes down. Well.. newsflash, that will happen if you don't use the phone at all. I guarantee that if you were to use the phone for any length of time the battery would drain a lot faster than that. So that isn't an accurate indicator of the phone's battery life.

I really have a bad battery drain, I fully charged my new Samsung Galaxy S2 from 0% battery to 100% when it was off (after a calibration).
I have set all tips for battery consuming etc, etc.. I installed BetterBatteryStats and it seems like gtalk_async_conn (Google Services) used 17% of the battery in the last 40 minutes.
Is there anything I can do to disable this? I disabled the sign-in in Gtalk settings, but it's still wasting my battery.

if you are using BetterBatteryStats no need for an own thread, there's one already (use search).
In your OP you mixed count and percent, your problem is more than gtalk if your consumption is as you said.
following the hot-to for bbs start with giving us some details about awake and screen on but do yourself a favor, let a mod close this thread and post your questions together with the missing info in the right thread.

GTalk has not used 17% as you mistakenly believe. It has used only 3.6% as per your attached screenshot. So GTalk is not the only service responsible for your battery drain.
That said, it is a fact acknowledged by almost all the owners of SGS II that Low Battery Life and Low Volume of sound output are the two sore points of this phone. Samsung should seriously do something to improve Battery Life and Sound volume of this phone. Hope something comes up in the next updates.
Maps also should be running. Must be also one of the reasons.

3 days???? Which ROM? A lot of people exaggerate here. I'm on CF Rooted stock KF3 with 200+ apps and it lasts for only about 18 hours in normal usage.
i also want to see that 3 day....
Yup juice defender is nothing if you know what your doing.
Example : if you an app and minimize it it will be running in background if you wont be using the app for quite awhile kill the app using task killer. If example you use facebook app. And you u are using it frequently but you kill it and reopen it. It will consume more battery. Only kill app that you wont use.
And disable data went not using and use 2g network when not using data.

Is anyone else finding it extremely difficult to get through the day without struggling to keep your SIII alive? I thought the battery life was supposed to be superior to its predecessors? I'm a first time Android user but I did not think I would have to lower my brightness all the way and constantly monitor my devices battery life.
do you have some dumbass apps draining your battery?
i found my culprit and it's Friendcaster without even turn the notification on
get Badass battery monitor to find it or just use the one in setting
I'm finding the battery life is great, and lasts a whole day with no problems
It really depends on what do on your phone.
Try posting a screenshot of your battery stats. Android has an inbuilt monitor with each app and its usage being displayed. Easy method to spot a drain.
I just downloaded that in addition to my other app but there doesn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary that seems to be killing my battery. Most of it is coming from my screen but I keep at it 25% brightness the whole time. Super odd
I usually get around 16 hours of standby and at least 4 hours or more of screen time.
You should try Watchdog Task Manager. It will be able to tell you if an app is running and using more processes than it should. Also I've never used badass battery stats, but better battery stats will tell you if anything is holding a wakelock. It is free for XDA members so you don't have to buy it on the market. Just search for it

On saturday I drove for 4 hours streaming music via bluetooth to my car. Used navigation for about 40 minutes with the screen on the whole time. Took a few calls, sent a few sms's. Read a few forums using data. Got home that night with about 40% left. That'll do me.
Maybe I'm just freaking out about the whole battery situation? I just expected it to be a lot longer and a lot better. I constantly worry if I'll be able to make past 10PM when I start my day at 7AM.

I'm getting huge drain from Cell Standby.
It'll lose 30% overnight. I keep checking for a software update. It's got to be the modem.
I'm holding off on rooting and custom ROMS until I know for sure this is fixable in firmware.
My phone's on LE6 and is from Thailand.
I see that you have poor signal reception
maybe that's why
last time I went underground, just 5 mins of standby it took away 10% of my battery
when it searches for signal it drains a lot
you could also try to disable auto search for network
go to setting>more settings > network operators and select it manually

U should reset ur phone. G2 battery is very awesome. I turn on everything 3g, WiFi, sync, Facebook, viber, ... And I use my phone to read news whenever I have time, so my screen time on of my phone one day is usually 4 hours. Everyday I get home with approx 40% of battery. But one thing I recommend u is u should buy the app lux auto brightness replace for stock auto brightness. I was really surprise after I installed that app, it save for my about one hour screen time.

Download "Better Battery Stats" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats&hl=en
Take a look at the wakelocks, alarms and see what is keeping your phone awake.
Also , posting a screenshot of your battery life graph would be beneficial.
Cheers !
Edit: Agree with quachhanthanh about Lux Auto Brightness. Totally worth the money , even though the free app does its job admirably.
Ah good idea with lux auto brightness.
I will test this too.
The stock auto brightness never works good on my phone.

Ah ok thank you , could have known that myself
It really helps to know the stats to start. A rogue app or service can cause a lot of issues. I had a contact sync issue that drained my battery quickly. Found and fixed.
I use greenify(really good for battery life) and also under google settings, I mean the app you have called google settings, uncheck all those things you dont need including under Android Device Manager -> Remotely locate this device. I disabled alot of things in there. If you need to leave wifi on you can also change your wifi scan intervals to like 360 in the build.prop. Thats just for starters.
Great battery here!
As has been said, a battery graph will help out a great deal. If you have a rogue app, it will show a higher percentage of usage than other similar apps. If services really high, you might want to take a look at exactly which services are running. Be sure to always disable any you don't actually use. Also make sure your screen is set to turn off quickly, or use that nifty knock off feature. One last thing, if you are in a spotty coverage area, your radio will broadcast at maximum power trying to find a tower. That searching will kill any battery.

I'm getting horrible battery life.. About 2.5 hours screen time with 45% left. Screen has only used 20% of the battery.. its mostly being used up by Android System (33%) and Android OS(13%). I've got wakelock detector installed and its saying most of the time my phone is in deep sleep... God know's what's the issue.
P.S: I'm even using DS Battery Saver to force deep sleep... I really don't know why the OS and system are using so much battery!
P.S: Using better battery stats, it seems I'm having the activity manager causing wakelocks and the alarm rtc and powermanager service causing wakelocks... anyone has any idea how to stop this?
Almost 40hr with 4.35hr of screen time and still 38% left.
What can i say. I am happy
in two days and im with 20% , is that good or bad?
with normal use

Depends on what you do with the phone. I can drop 20% in like 3hrs easily using spotify alone.
At the moment im at 37h 12m with 3h 8m screen on. Im at 40%.
Here are my stats. I wonder why there's such a variance between different phones. Do LG source batteries from many different manufacturers? Maybe they don't do enough QA on the batteries? Battery life for me isn't terrible compared to other Android phones I've used (many won't even last a day), but I definitely need to charge it every night.

Useless, can't see your app usage.
I recommend posting in the comparative battery analysis thread.
Make sure you post all screen shots otherwise OP will be on your case.
