Galaxy S2 Battery Problems solved

So i have gone through two days (and 1 night) with my samsung galaxy s2 android 2.3.2 by just freezing some programs with titanium plus.
This proves that most stuff is just bloatware eating away from my precious battery for no reason.
A few things on my phone consumption. I work 8 hrs a day in a place where my phone doesn't pick up my main phone company line (H3G) so for most of the time i'm on roaming and therefore not using 3G data so that does help but not by much really... I do however barely touch the phone (4-5 times to check if someone sms'd me in the morning and 1 call at midday + mail check and facebook for 10mins).
I also turn off data and wi-fi during the night.
When i get back home i leave wi-fi and skype always on from 18.00 to 24.00 and i've had the phone for 2 weeks or so therefore i'm using it a lot in those hours.
These are my results (with 14% battery left mind you):

So what apps did i freeze with titanium backup pro? Not that many tbh:
Allshare
AP Mobile
Buddies Now
IM
IMEITracker
KIES air
Kies via WI-Fi
KOBO
Mobile Tracker
Samsung Apps

I would also like to say that i DO NOT use juicedefender.
Hope this helps someone.

Your Awake and Screen On bar is very well synchronized, so you will get good battery backup.
I get same kind of backup I guess, but that's with JD Ultimate, hadn't freeze a single stuff so far, and what's your Display On time? That matters

Screen on time is 1Hour58minutes51Seconds

Oops, is it? Then you must have made more than 2 hours of Voice Call, right? And a lot of SMS?

15mins voice calls 13mins skypecalls 37mins music battery app says.

Hmm, mine is 5 hours, with just 15 mins of Call and none of the above.
Anyway, GN.

This stat is useless if you don't tell us your total uptime and what apps are draining your phone.

That is correct. Mine is around 2 days, and I will post a screen tomorrow.

Battery life on MIUI - Post your experience

I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing!
People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:
Your running kernel ([email protected] if you didn't flash anything on top)
CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)
Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings
Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)
My recommendations on increasing battery life:
Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.
Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.
The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.
Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.

Easy Alternative,
Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install
Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on
Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)

You are in the wrong forum, this is the SGSII forum.
But to help you anyway: Using 2G instead of 3G helps alot on the SGS1.

I highly recommend you guys to disable it if you want your battery to be better ?

How was your actual battery life with it on? I've been running Fit on my phone since the first Nexus 6 port was available. While it does hold a wakelock the hit to battery wasn't all that bad considering what the app does. I average maybe 30 minutes or less SOT time with the app turned on from 630 am to 1030 pm. I was impressed as I thought I'd be recharging shortly after lunch.

Will it still drain if I don't use it but have it installed. Somehow I see notifications on my moto 360 from fit.

Use Greenify Dude !!!

It working without notification in backgriund. I belive only solution , if You don´t want to use it, is to freeze or uninstall this wih TiBu.
EDIT: looks like it is possible to disable Fit ( maybe ), under settings> Google Fit Data>and turn off Activity detection. I belive then it wont work ay more.
EDIT: nope...still working

Guys, it's not affecting battery. Don't constantly look for issues. I use Google Fit (cause I have a Moto 360) and it doesn't affect normal usage so therefore it's not an issue. If it WAS an issue it'd show in the battery graph and you'd kill your battery in a couple of hours - THAT would be an issue!

Yeah me too. I don't see any difference with or without Fit.

There is not going to be any noticable drain because the app is using the low power core. It's the same core that was supposed to give us always listening Google Now when the phone launched but Google gimped us because of patent bs.

Uh, maybe. I don't know. Maybe because we have pedometer sensor built in so its not draining battery..

That really helped my performance on the mobile and my battery , I tested for 1 week and felt a great improvement

trash, just messes up your filesystem and services for 0.5% extra battery (maybe). I read its thread it makes more damage than benefit.
1. fstrim worths nothing on ufs
2. google service - I trust in google they will fix any issues (btw I haven't)
3. zipalign for what +10mb?
4. "...by optimizating the DNS server..." what?
5. faster boot with disabled boot anim... ??? once a week, I really don't care the boot takes for 14 secs or 12 secs

decrease usage for Google play services

Hello everyone.
I have a irritating problem with battery drain. Google play services use a more than 50% of battery usage, I have to charge few 2 times a day while I'm using phone normally (sometimes browsing Internet, sometimes browsing Facebook, no using GPS) and the battery lasts maximum 6 hours from 100% to 10%.
I don't know how to decrease this usage to minimum. Uninstalling Google play services makes it better, but android without it is useless.

How it can be 50% for you? All the apps together is only 3% for me (hard gaming, mobile legends bb, minecraft, gta sa, real racing etc)

Disable location services or set it i.eLocation services to device only mode.....Thumbs up if it worked

Check that you don't have emojis on your whatsapp name. For me, it was causing some background sync errors and caused huge battery drain

I will check with my friend next time...that's extremely odd but intriguing bug!
My friend is on holiday with the phone for a week, I might have to resort to a factory reset. To be fair, it hasn't had a wipe since upgrading from Lollipop to MM so it is overdue one.

I just flashed to the newest rom and now it's OK.
I don't know what caused this usage but it was annoying. After flash and clear all storages everything is good now.
