I'm running kwiboo v3 with on screen buttons tweak and franciscofranco kernel with -25 all voltages. So far this is the best battery I have had out if any phone.
Edit: for some reason I cant post pics but after 10 hours I'm at 78% left

Setup's in my signature; best battery life I've seen on an Android phone. Easily gets me through the day and then some with moderate use.
I would post battery stats (since it's easy to do screenies now) but I just took it off the charger after messing with NS Tools and it wouldn't be a good representation of my battery life.

Wow...that puts my battery life into perspective. It sucks!
Seriously, I am not getting battery life like that. With moderate usage after ten hours I would say I am in the low 60's battery-wise.

Hey guys.
Ive been on the s2 forums for nearly 10 months now, and i always see people showing batt life or discussing how to improve it..
So i decided to start a thread with everything battery related included.
In this thread we can discuss battery saving tips, battery lives aswell as sharing our configs for the best possible batt life.
If u want to post your images of batt life. Please say ur rom and kernel your on plus any other useful info.
Thanks
Adam

This thread is redundant, as mentioned we have several battery/Android OS threads, full of tons of information..
Here's an excellent Battery Life thread:

It has been some time since we have talked about a ROM to have the maximum battery life..
With normal usage through the day that includes data, music and talktime..
Everyone please write the ROM they think provides the best battery life.
Cheers.
It's against forum rules to suggest ROM's. Here's the post stating such rule:

Best battery life possible? Ultratoxic, Gingerbread ROM. Best battery ICS ROM? Slim ICS. Siyah kernel for both, plus you can undervolt more aggresivly on Gingerbread. So basically, the less resources and **** there is, the less the phone has to worry about.

First of read this. Second this technically is a Question that you want a Answer, so it should have been posted in Q&A not general. Locked
Someone said that the Touchwiz 4 or GB ROM is better on battery life then CM1? Is that true?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Battery life depends on many factors.
Try all the available roms for yourself. Anyone can give you an answer, but that doesn't mean it applies to your specific device and battery combination. With regard to battery life and custom roms on any device ... YMMV (your mileage may vary).

Exactly this... there are so many factors on battery life that comparing battery life from one person to another is pretty pointless... but trying the roms out on your phone is a good way to test because you will mainly use your phone the same regardless of the rom you use... so the only way to really tell what is going to have better battery life for you is to flash the roms and try them all out for a few days each....

Thanks . Someone said it depends on the software. But Idk. I only tried CM9 and CM10 because I always loved ICS and JB.

GB Roms definitely have better battery life. Stock touchwiz fc09 rooted running shadow kernel gives a whole days worth of charge with 2 hour screen time. On cm20 you can watch the percentage drop as you use it, doing that on stock fc09 is like watching water boil lol. It also charges faster. 1 percent about every minute.
Of course, YMMV but this is my personal observation. I'm running cm10 cuz I like jb, but once they fix battery drain it'll be great. I know its possible cuz the battery lasts a lot longer on the night lies than the first unofficial and official preview builds.

I would suggest looking at TPR 2.21 if you want to try a GB rom with excellent battery life.

My general experience is the same but on cm10. I typically get 3 hrs screen on time, 20-30 minutes of calls, 20 texts or so, usually an hour of game time...and about 18 hours total up time...and I am at around 15% at the end of the night. That was with the 1012 nightly. So it is definitely a YMMV thing! This is on a epic touch 1800 battery.

I haven't messed with my phone in forever. I currently have a CM7 nightly running on my Epic. Can I just flash a CM10 nightly or will I need to do something first? Like update clockwork mod or flash a different kernel <-- you can see my ignorance showing here.

I was running CM9 when I flashed CM10. I think you can just flash it but I am kind of a newbie. Just do a bit more research. And if you flash cm10, you have to odin back to stock, root, and then flash another ROM you want to flash something besides CM10.

When I jumped from CM7, I went to mounts and storage and wiped everything in there except /sdcard. Then I flashed the ROM and appropriate gapps, and all was fine

If you want to stick with CM10, I've found that the SimplyCM10 kernel actually helped with battery life. YMMV, but I was draining 1800mAH in ~10 hours and it's >12hrs the last couple of days.

I have 1500 mAh and I go to school with 100%, come home with about 40-20% and to me, that's unacceptable. I never flashed kernels because I never thought they really did anything.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
If battery life is a major concern for you, then probably avoid CM9 and CM10. But what you get in trade-off is amazing performance and features that only Jelly Bean has. I have a charger or two at home, one in the car and one at work.. plus a couple extra batteries for emergencies. So having the battery last 'all day' just doesn't mean much in my case.
I'm not too concerned with battery life, cause I have 2 stock 1500mAh batteries, and I usually carry around a usb cord in my backpack just in case.

seriously, what the hell is with this phone? ive tried every rom and kernel and my battery life is terrible. i know what is it. its the lcd using between 60-80% of my battery stats and it never seems to lower. ive already ruled out wake locks or apps causing this. every bell and whistle is disabled, screen brightness is down super low and i have a pure black theme.
any opinions on how to solve this before i look into a different device like the note 2 or lg pro?
How long is your battery lasting? It could be bad. I'd go try to swap it out before getting rid of the phone.

this is a new oem battery i just bought it. :crying: i don't have insurance so i cant swap it out.
ya, whats your average total time on the battery? average screen-on time? if both are alarmingly low, you could fully wipe, return to stock and start over. this may clear up your issue.

its the high lcd usage that concerns me. 65-80% is too much. i already did go to stock and start over. as i said ive tried every tw & aosp rom. my old note 2 never had this issue. as far as screen time it depends, i wouldn't say its super low but i just think its draining to fast. simple things just as texting or making a quick phone call.

Yes. OP, you have yet to post any battery hours.
it really varies. i used to be able to get well over a day. now i have to recharge nightly, that's why i bought a new battery. id say screen time goes from 2-2 1/2 hours at times, no higher.

Shut off your phone, it lasts forever that way...... Seriously androids are known battery hogs, maybe try a complete wipe with a fresh flash. And it would help if you did what the others asked for.
I'm on AOKP with a side of ktoon kernel and my device as lasted as long as 26 hours, and I use it both for work and play and I game ALOT.
