Hey guys. Thought I'd make a thread on battery life just so everyone can show how long the battery lasts and with how much usage.
So people can get a good idea of what your using please post 4 things.
And please make sure you take a screenshot of all 4 things.
1. Post a picture of battery usage and of display time. Also please post a picture of the battery graph.
NEW: Please Post a screenshot of the app better battery status when reporting stats. We want to see what apps you're using.
2. Post what Rom version you're on and what kernel version. (ie im on Checkrom v4 with siyah 2.6.7)
3. Tell if your using a script such as init.doh or something like that.
4. Tell if your using another battery if not stock. (I'm using the stock battery by the way.)
5. If your on ics please post battery life of roms.
Altogether the post should look like this.

GUYS MAKE SURE ITS ACTUAL BATTERY LIFE. THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION FOR WHO HAS THE MOST SCREEN ON TIME. POST WHAT YOUR DAILY USAGE IS NORMALLY SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY GET AN IDEA OF WHAT ROM WORKS BEST.

So I'll start. I'm on Checkrom Revolution v4 hellraised and am on siyah 2.6.7 with no scripts and without set cpu or voltage control installed. (basically everything is the same as when i installed the kernel.
Guide to better battery life coming soon.
O and here is another one with the exact same set up as above.

To the OP, you're getting 6.5 hours screen on time with the stock battery? Or are you using a different one?
I'm lucky if I get 12 hours off a charge with heavy use and not disabling anything. I always carry a spare OEM battery with me.

What do you suggest then?
It also appears you didn't use the phone. What did you do for that long? Your stats say you starred at a black screen.
Attatched is me surfing the web for 3 hours and still have almost 50pc battery left. Its real easy for me to get 5 hours battery if I use the phone for a long amount of time in one sitting. Impressive stats are when people get 3 days and 4 hours screen on.
I use a bunch of things to save battery. Safe to say its all written up in my init.doh thread.

Stick with what you enjoy. Each ROM base will have it's negatives. I'd use most functional ROM. Battery life isn't a mystery. Your display time of under two hours must have been very heavy use. One thing I've noticed with kl1 base is initially and few days after it always posts great battery results then after things settle it posts noticeably lesser battery life.

Hi guys...
I recently install the cm9 4/4 rom
And its amazing! So far I dident get any bugs..
But I do have one problem, the battery is so weak.. Like every six hours I need to rechargh it.
So what I wanted to know is what karnel that supperts the cm9 well will give me better battery results?
Thnx alot!

I peronally like cm9 stock kernel best, better check what services/apps are running in the background that consume much power!
I'm using the original karnel that I got with my sgs2..
Is there a stock Room for the cm9?
Can you give me a link please?

Mate battery life won't magically improve by flashing an alternate kernel / ROM. There are tons of reasons which may affect battery life on a ROM, and you must first determine what that is before you move on and experiment. Before moving onto a new kernel, determine what is causing battery drain using apps like CPU Spy (Can determine if your phone is entering deep sleep or not) and BetterBatteryStats (Can determine kernel wakelocks which prevent the phone from going into deep sleep). Also, what is your usage pattern? On extremely heavy usage patterns, 6-8 hours is below par, but not unbelievable.
Unfortunately I would agree with mattisfaction at this point of time. Stock ROM for CM9? When you install CM9, you get the CM9 Stock kernel. Not what came with your phone.
Well...
I see I got much more to learn :-/
Well thnx anyway, ill come back after some more research =)

Hi I am 15 years old and i have a samsung galaxy s2 GT-I9100 with stock ics 4.0.3 (exactly I9100XXLPS). It have some issues with (not opening some times) wifi and several battery drain when im playing games ( need for speed, asphalt, etc). I want to play games and surfing but my phone does not keep its battery until night. So I want a rom and a kernel which have no much battery drain, fix wifi issue and if its possible to extend the wifi signal...
Sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in advance.
Hi, i'm also 15 yr old, btw i'm from Serbia(if u know where is it...), if u using cf kernel it has a wifi bug so i suggest u to install siyah or dorimanx kernel... And, i think themes like this(whats best rom, which to use, ...) are forbidden, sorry btw try SuperNexus rom, for me that's best rom for begginers, wish u a luck !
I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...
That being said, I'm currently using Cm7 on my I777 and it has great battery life (although I suspect it has something to do with turning the second core off and using Siyah GB.)
For Jellybean my preferred ROM is Super Nexus... I got pretty good battery on that one too!

Sorry, but i am not a begginer and i know where is serbia... Anyway i am using stock kernel too now. Also i was using latest jelly bean resurection remix with latest siyah a week ago, but latest resurrection remix version had a very big issue with severe battery drain, so i decided to return to stock unbranded 4.0.3 and then try an other rom. Thats why i create this threat, for not trying all s2 roms.....
Thanks to all of you guys who replied.

How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.

I use RR 3.1.2 and I don't think there is a severe battery drain. Use better battery statsto know what caused it, at the first place.

I give the battery 10+ battety cycles in each rom i try before i report... I will try battery stats and set cpu but i think (because i have tried them in rr) they will not give me the exact reason about my problem. I will try again and post here the results.
Anyway, thank you.

In rr 3.0.1 jelly bean (the latest i have tried in rr) i didnt install the fixes which released one day after (was for rom fonts, etc, nothing for battery), because i have updated via update me app, which didnt download the fixes... Yesterday i found these fixes on internet... Do you think that this was a cause of my battery drain problem? But why the problem remained (not like in rr, but ramained) after i installed the official stock 4.0.3?

Hardly when idle and ok while using it. 4 - 5 hrs gaming. That's the max you can get with stock batteries.
Im not 15 and I want a rom and kernel that makes the battery last a week.Will be playing games all day,and making the odd call,and listening to music.
Ive got a ds,a psp and an ipod......but I dont use them now as its my phones responsibility to think its all them........and to make calls etc.
Now why have I got to charge the phone every day ......its totally ridiculous.

Are you close to the router? That pic shows it's far range. Wifi would constantly try to get a better Wifi Connection hence, massive battery drain. I have the same issue when i'm bunkered in my bedroom.
I'm running JB leak as well and battery life is just awesome (see Attachment)
Hey there guyz,just wondering,does JB consume the most battery life between ICS and GB?Is it because of its performance?Do u recommend people in XDA to choose GB roms for great battery life and JB roms for extreme performance?Pls guyz,give your opinions Thank you :thumbup:

The rule on the Galaxy S2 forum is that you are not allowed to ask which ROM's are better, which is basically what your thread is asking. This is not allowed as everyone's opinion of a ROM is different, and what performs well for one person may not perform well for you. You must try these ROM's yourself, with different kernels for better performance and battery life to find the optimum setup for you. Sorry but that's the way it is.

Actually if you ask for consumption. I think ics is way more superior in saving battery than JB. There are so many reasons for that. Check the change log on wikipedia you ll come to know. Screen causes more drain on JB. Im also agree with the person who first answered your question.

I've personally noticed I can't get as good battery life with JB as with ICS. I use the same settings, and the same apps, but ICS seems better for me.
On the other hand: some people got great battery life with JB, so I also would recommend to try both versions to compare. Performance-wise (and the wonderfull features), JB is the best
