The longest anyone has had it on their phones is like 15 hours. Give it a few days.
You won't be able to really tell for a few days when people stop picking up their phones every 10 seconds to play with it.

I fixed my gps early this morning and then set it up with a full charge to do a battery calibration. I turned 4G on to help it drain. I also used it to read xda for about 30 minutes earlier this morning (not sure why the battery stats don't seem to show everything that has been running). Here's where I'm at 8 hours later. I would say the battery life is pretty freaking great! Can't wait for some UV'ing once we get source.
Note: I have Overclock widget set to 1000/200 screen on and 400/200 screen off.

i somewhat second this i have left it unplugged all last night and i am at like 80-90 percent full with some what use..
I am still using juice defender, but my phone as been off the charger for almost 12 hours and I am probably around 75% battery left. I will be testing out turning off JuiceDefender tomorrow, but for now it looks amazing.
CRAPPPP
it some actually deads faster than 2.1
I've been having pretty fantastic battery life. So far the phone has been unplugged for 6 hours, I've been texting on and off all day, and played angry birds for about an hour. I'm sitting at 75%. Probably not fantastic but not bad.
I've noticed an improvement, but as to how much, I'm not sure. Maybe 20 to 40 percent better.

Quote of the day!
from a epic Galaxy far, far away.
excellent battery life
61 percent with some youtube , texting surfing the web angry birds and 4g on(sleep mode for 4g works really well) and apperently my gps was on all day. Its been 7 hours and 32 minutes ..I would normally be at like 35 percent
I have definitely noticed an improvement. It seems as good as baked ultimate and that says a lot.

I am getting battery life like it's a completely different phone.
I was always rooted but with stock roms and kernels and on 2.1 my battery life was frighteningly bad. I have been on for well over 8 hours and using my phone off and on all day checking out froyo features and the battery indicator is showing still nearly full battery life. On 2.1 I would have had to pop it on the charger at around 2 pm today or earlier.
* I am going to be making a thread about LEGIT improvements that froyo gives us with this phone. There are a ton of piss and moan threads, but froyo adds a ton of features (several i'm sure I don't know about) and MUCH BETTER battery life. *
This thing is a beast. I have 30% battery left and I have been using it for 41 hours without charging it. And I use it pretty heavy on sundays and on 3g all day saturday. I think it's got the best battery life of any device i've ever used. How are other peoples battery life?
Can you post your battery usage please? Just interested what you've been using in those 41 hours. Seems incredible!

I can't find a screenshot app that works and yes it's rooted.
From what I read you need the SDK to take screen shots.

This is about the exact same results I get. I had about 30% left yesterday after two days and 4-5 hrs of usage.
I pushed about 36 hours before the device shut itself off. Medium to Heavy use (lots of browsing, some games, all around tinkering and playing in numerous apps), and a decent amount of that was standby.
Over-all, I'm very impressed with it and it has completely replaced my laptop (sold it before I got the Xoom, actually). I was actually having a hardtime leaving it off the charger because of how used to I am having to plug my devices in after a few hours of heavy use.
I did a real world test for my xoom this weekend. I used it as i "normally" would. when I wanted to do things, I just did - browse, played games, etc. I used it saturday night to show pictures of a new house to lots of people. Basically, how I would use it if I wasn't specifically testing battery life. Long story short, i went all weekend without charging. Charged fully at 4pm Friday. plugged in Sunday at 11pm with 20% or so still left.
with all due respect that's not accurate. A more accurate usage of batt life is 'display usage'
I get about 7 hours batt life. I was at least expecting 9 hours

9 is a little too much i'd say. It really depends on what app you use and how much power the cpu takes out of the battery. For example, simple web browsing and apps aint gonna run on 2 cores. Gaming on the other will though. And real life usage is really what matters.

That's about what mine lasts for, and I love it!! Its a nice break after my incredible only lasts for like 20 hours MAX with setcpu. XOOM for the win.

I try to keep it off the charger as much as possible....i let it run down to about 30-25% give or take before I charge it. I want to keep this battery in as good a shape as I can.

My Xoom has awesome battery life... I am satisfied completely.
Hello all, I have seen a few posts about battery life on the galaxy s 2. I collected mine yesterday, full charge last night, been using it all day, on either wifi our hspda, battery life is still at 50%. Been watching videos, playing angry birds, a lot of internet and the odd phone call. My old desire hd normally died around mid afternoon with this much usage, have to day, massively impressed. Oh brilliant phone as well.

This post made me
Yeah nice to know battery performance is improved!
thanks
I'm not impressed so far. Killed mine in less than 9 hours today from full charge.
I am in the first 48 hour period, had played a bit of Angry Birds, shown off how well it handles Flash and all that gubbins, but still, 9 hours is pretty pants.
Maybe the FM Radio is a battery hog, I did have it on for a good few of those hours...
9 hours of battery within first 48 hours translates into roughly 2 full days after the first month.
Yeah true, people must forget they never leave it alone at first and they moan the battery aint too good , novity wheres off and the real readings will show
With a good rom my captivate would last 2 days so I am hoping the SGS 2 lasts at least that long.
i've got sgs2 as well. using it with half brightness level almost never turned display off installing and surfing non stop it's been 1.5 hour 20% consumption.
I'm getting about 10 hours with very heavy usage out of it at the moment. I still haven't given it a full charge cycle from dead yet so I think that should gimme a bit more juice.

Roughly 10 hours with heavy usage here, I'm just at the end of my second full charge.

There is lot more going in Android compare to Omnia which has silly{useless to be precise} widgets running,symbian^3 in N8 rather does a better job & thus less battery life then Omnia but still better then any other droid.
Here in Android you have anywhere b/w 5 to 7 home screens,widgets running in background & whole lot of things,that's the main reason why Android is always said to have an average battery life.The likes of SGS 2 & Atrix {with huge batteries} are really doing a good job here.Compare it to utter bull**** battery life in HTC Desire HD for example & you will know what i am saying
Do you guys have Latitude turned on?
I've got 10 hours and 9 hours from my first two days.
I'm worried about the Social Hub. I logged in to Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Google Talk and now realise I can't remove these accounts?!?!!? If it's constantly checking all that, it's going to drain my battery very quick
I see many test on battery, and all say it is normal.
With a good rom will do better

That could either be pretty rubbish or impressive depending on your usage. Care to elaborate for us?
im suffering a bad battery right now.
my phone will ran out of battery after like 6 hours' use. it's not as good as iphone 4, but not that bad. all the android handset dont perform good on it. but my battery went down to 85% from full charge after 8 hours sleep. any solution to this? another problem is that when i browse xda on my phone, only 12 % run out after 1 hour's use. but when i play the bakery story, the battery go down 1% every 2 minutes.
i just want to know this happened. maybe the game eat more power, but not that much i think.

Have u tried Juice Defender? It's free from Android Market. Made a massive difference to my battery life. The phone used to die after around 8 hours but no it lasts all day and still has around 70% when I'm going to bed.

In regards to browsing XDA for an hour vs playing the bakery story, it's likely because XDA is much less CPU intensive. When the CPU is being stressed, the battery gets eaten up pretty quickly.
Hi guys, I didn't see a thread about battery life, so I thought I'd start one to see how other people's battery life was.
I have an unrooted nexus 7 and after using it a few weeks I finally decided to see how long the battery would last before dying. I wasn't very impressed.
My battery lasted 3 days and 12 hours with 5 hours of screen on time. I didn't use it heavily or anything. Light browsing, a little bit of reading, almost no videos, no music, screen brightness at "low" setting and I even have the wifi turned off when the device is asleep! That seems pretty underwhelming to me. I am syncing 3 gmail accounts though, so maybe that is it. I'm just suprised by the 5 hours of screen time. I thought this thing was supposed to do 9 or 10 hours (that's what some of the reviews like Engadget said). No?
What is your battery life like? Is this normal?
So you got over 3 days of battery life? That seems pretty good... im a little confused when you say 9 to10 hours at the end of your post though.
.:: Nexus 7 :: ParanoidAndroid :: JB ::.
I am able to only get 6 hours off my Nexus 7. I play 1 hour of games and the rest is browsing. Sometimes I watch videos, but even without, I can't seem to get more than 6 hours on low brightness.
To people are are getting 8-10 hours, did you let your battery drop to nearly dead? I have never let mine drop below 25% except for one time. Some people reported their N7 died at 20% so I let mine reach that percentage.

Lol, obviously not looking hard enough
Plenty of threads about battery life, gotta love that search box!

Lol 3.5 days with 5 hours of battery life is pretty good. The 8-9 hour estimate doesn't account for 3.5 days worth of idle drain. You can get 10 hours if you use it for 10 straight.

+1, I too was disappointed to see that I was getting "only" 5-6 hours screen time with my 2-3 days usage.
So I dug a little deeper and found that all the 9-10 hour battery life reports was the device being used constantly over around a day.
I guess the idle time and sleep walking the device does kind of effects the battery life. Same with my phone, the beast Incredible S, in 1 day I can get 4-4.5 hours screen time, but if I stretch it over 2 days it only gives me 3 1/2
So I agree about the idle thing
Luminosité at 10%...
it's a 7" anyway(smaller battery to fit in)... can't ask for more.
