Before doing anything, please see this video.
All of these battery saving apps really just manage your wireless connections, and turn things such as wifi off when you're not using them. They really don't do anything special as far as I know, but they're still fairly useful

Poor Battery Performance of my S 2

Hello everyone,
My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast. Tried everything and nothing happened.
In my phone i disabled almost everything which drain battery.
No Facebook
No auto syn of Gmail
Access location is off.
GPS Off
Soft key light/Vibration off
No skype
Disabled Accu weather app
Disabled many others bloat ware
Brightness is set at almost zero level
Better Battery Stats show connectivity wake lock. i think ghis the main problem for drain.
And plz tell me how can i set my phone to only gsm. There is no option for that in phone. In setting it says GSM / wcdma and only wcdma. I set it at gsm/wcdma. Am from Pakistan and here there is no 3g/wcdma.
And if by dialing *#*#4636#*#* i choose gsm, it comes back to gsm/wcdma. Is it draining battery?

<nvm, didn't read properly...>

what ROM are you using ??

What!?
You wrote "My S2 only last for 10-13 hours and it drains battery too fast."
On attached screenshot you have 80% left after 6 hours of usages whereas 48% is used by Screen and 17% is used by Boat Browser.
You have to expect about 1~1½ % drain per hour ... even if you don't use your phone.
Screen drains a lot depending of your amount of Brightness! If you can get 4 hours Screen On, your happy.
From what I can see ... your battery time is totally normal!

I have Stock rom ICS 4.0.4
My cellphone is branded version and it comes from 3 Mobile UK.

no its not normal.. today i charged it and not use it for 2 hours.. i put it on airplane mode and leave it for 2 hours after 100% charge, to check the partial wakelocks.
I thought this time connectivity service wakelock doesn't appear but it does.
i thought connectivity service wakelock is due to mobile signal but when i put it on airplan mode for 2 hrs this partial wakelock still appear.

Hmm , I am not a Fan of ICS though, but the battery time which you have shared (Just Saw it) LOL , it is totally fine , and secondly , use a safe kernel to root the phone (PhilZ Kernel) link is in my signature , and then Flash NeatROM Lite v4.0 , my battery lasts easily 18-20h and i am a heavy user of the phone with Calls , Messaging , FB , Twitter, Whatsapp, Viber & Tapatalk

PLS STOP with all this Juice Defender nonsense! A task killer often will drain your battery even more ... some processes will just restart again after you have killed it.
On newer Android version (GB and ICS) I haven't found any task killers that actually prolonged my battery time.
Adjust your screen brightness as low as possible, use a dark backgrounds and themes, get rid of unnecessary Widgets and Live Screen backgrounds, Sync Mail, Calendar, Twitter only when needed ... and then you will be fine :good:

Install the free app "wakelock detector" and disable or remove any app that is waking the phone up or using too much cpu power.

I removed all bloatware from the phone, used Greenify to hibernate misbehaving apps, Better Battery Stats to find wakelocks and what not, and the usual: lower brightness when you can, disable any gestures or smart features you dont use. Turn off wifi, Bluetooth, and Location when possible. I also underclock my phone to 1.6hz for most of the day.
I get around 24 to 48 hours depending on usage, and around 5-6 hours screen on time.

how to underclock

delete new skype app (old version doesn't wake up the phone)
delete facebook and instead use a browser bookmark... the app is always running in background.
delete ALL samsung related **** and other stuff you don't need.
my problem was wlan_rx_wake which was solved by buying a new router.
i had a fritzbox for 130 euros which seemed to flood my network with some data.... only android phones woke up because of this.
bought a new router for 18 euros... problem solved.
****in piece of **** :silly:

LoL and also Log Out from instagtam when not using!!!!!!! wastes most of the Battry also delete apps you dont use and dont use a live wallpaper!

[FIX]WiFi Fix

If you have a WiFi permanently disabled or very weak, try to do it:
Open the file /system/etc/firmware/wlan/prima/WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini in text editor.
Change the line gEnableBmps = 1 to gEnableBmps = 0
Save and reboot
This increases the stability of the WiFi and fixes WiFi from regular stops.

The fix didn't work for me, wifi is still very unstable with random disconnects.

Can't modify with anyone root explorer, anybody have any idea why I'm doing wrong?

Any issues with battery life after doing this? After googling came across a posting regarding this code and the Nexus 4 where it increased the idle battery usage from 0.5% to 5% per hour.

Good to hear. I just did the edit and it fixed the issue i was having with the AirDroid app where before it would disconnect if the screen went off, now it works even with it off

Don't know about battery drain but this seems to definitely speed up connection to my wlan. Before I would get one or more authentication errors before it would connect but it seems pretty instant now. Will keep an eye on battery and report back.
EDIT: I don't think its helped actually. That said my issues sound slightly different, in that once I'm logged on things are good, but it can take five or six time s to log on if I don't have a good signal.

Yes I'm going to have to retract my statement too. Still get authentication issue.

Perhaps some logcats or dmesgs can help?

Seems this is not the magic fix i thought it was, battery drained a huge amount overnight in idle mode when i was asleep. Corresponds to roughly what other people said in other forums about battery draining at about 5% per hour in idle mode as opposed to 0.5% per hour at default setting.
Seems its more an issue of Sony having to optimise WIFI settings to work correctly as it's probably mostly at default Android settings currently (with some changes by Sony, but clearly not enough changes).

Mobile data always uses more battery than wifi. It is a known issue. Something to do with signal strength the more weaker the signal the more battery drain.

Sorry, but the problem is excessive data usage for android os and Google services. Like 200mb per day.

Sorry for being late. turn off your sync. Turn automatic app updates off and if possible do a hard reset. And yes as said above 3G usage or being idle drains battery at greater extent. Being always on 3G will last your battery about 6 hrs. Try for hard reset this might work as it worked for me. All the best.
