So far, this phone has the best battery life of any phone I've ever owned. By far. Part of that appears to be incredible standby efficiency, which isn't shown in the standard battery life tests the various blog sites run. I waited for several days to give things a chance to settle in, and on the 5th day charged the phone to 100% before going to bed. Nine hours later, it had used only 5% of battery. No other phone I've owned has come close to that. (Another night, I turned AOD on, and after about 8 1/2 hours battery was down 11%. Not too shabby.)

22 hours, and 5 hours SOT later, I was at 38% battery. I've never gotten close to 5 hrs SOT before. If I got 4 hours, I was down to 10% battery or less. (My eyes ain't great, so I probably turn the screen up brighter than a lot of people do.)
So far I'm pretty impressed with this phone.

Hi everyone,
This is not a battery life problem. I've read the battery threads and could not find someone with a similar problem.
My problem: I left my phone locked and untouched while I went shower. Afterwards I decided to check my phone but it did not respond. I tried to turn it on but that failed too. The screen stayed black as if it was off. I ended up taking the battery out, putting it back in and turning the phone on.
The phone did turn on but my battery temperature was 45°C and 48%. My battery was 75% before I went shower. I checked the battery status page and here's what it showed. Notice the vertical drop in battery at the end of the graph.

After a few minutes since restarting:
The android os % also has never been this high before. I've also never experienced any battery problems mentioned in other threads. I use my phone quite often so display is always at the top. This is the first problem I've encountered with my SGS2 which had made me quite sad since it's less than 3 weeks old.
Thanks for reading and would really appreciate any input.
Guys can anyone help me with battery life? I'm running cm7 nightly 9 and I've wiped battery stats. Also reduced friendcaster polling to 1hr after seeing the betterbatterystats screen

Everything looks normal to me, and the wakelock didn't show any program that's drainging the battery bad...The Wifi didn't use that much battery too according to your pic. Display didn't use that much also(17%). So I say it might be your weak 3G/GSM signal that's draining the battery.
Thanks man! anyone else?
I was doing some browsing and downloading for a good 2hours or so before leaving it at 30% for about 8 hours with wifi turned on. Woke up to 3% battery
If that's a 2h period you have a display-on time for those 17%, and the rest of the drain is due to a severe case of the Android OS bug. 25% drain over 8 hours idle is horrible. Sadly, no real solution to it other than just trying around wiping the phone and playing with the configurations. **** percentages in the battery screen and look at actual uptime of the different things.
LHere is what im doing to prolong my battery life as much as possible...
I downloaded Juice Defender, i keep that running all of the time. I rooted and got SetCPU, profiles will be in a picture below. I set it up so that as my battery drains so does my speed. I am using a plain black background. and not very colorful widgets or apps. I also froze some bloatware. I am currently at 34%. been going for 9 hours, 32 minutes, and 37 seconds on battery. Listening to music for a few hours, playing Pokemon crystal for hours, email constantly running, and texing. Display was on for 2 Hours so far. I will update when i hit 0%.

You said the display was on for 2 hours right? Well if you've been texting and playing Pokemon for hours that all counts in screen on time doesn't it?
Just go to Amazon and order the two batteries that come with a wall charger. I don't have to do any of that and I'm never tethered to a wall. It was less than $30 for all of it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yeah but i was doing both at the same time
Still 17% left
I was having HORRIBLE battery life over the past 3 weeks and went through everything from running different kernels, roms, etc before just giving in. When I say horrible, I mean if i had my phone in airplane mode while listening to music at the gym (not using the display), my battery would go from 100-25 in only an hour. All the while, the phone became incredibly hot.
My solution: I finally gave in and called Verizon. I explained my phone had been overheating with light/moderate use and the lady offered me a warranty exchange. That east.
After I received my new phone I then installed 3.14 w/ s-off & CleanRom DE 1.4 (same setup I ran with the last phone) and now my battery life is MUCH better. I used it at the gym today with Pandora for about 45 min (screen off) and it only drained about 15% of the battery.
I understand the phone isnt ALWAYS the issue but if you are getting crazy heat from only running music... your phone is probably messed up.

Glad that worked out for you. I can't imagine having that bad of battery life.

Just got my Google Pixel phone, feel excited! Used it for some days, the battery life is amazing. It takes forever to get this Google Phone to fully discharge it's battery. I streamed 1080p HD Video for maybe 3-4 hours, and that only knocked off about 1/3. I then turned the GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, and Google Maps on and starting zooming all over the world in Satellite mode with the screen turned up to full brightness - trying to stress the phone and the battery. No luck. After leaving it to sit all night, it was still only down to 29%........1 day 21 hours later.
But as a crazy Android fanboy dependent on smartphone, I still think it is essential to get an external battery pack for travelling on the go.
I searched on Amazon and got one, used it to charger my Pixel, screen showed charging rapidly, max power nearly to 5V/3A with ampere App. Extremely fast, it only takes 70 mins to juice up the phone from empty to full.
