I use JuiceDefender. It does more than just set the CPU. And I keep the screen brightness low.
SetCPU works only if your phone is rooted, I guess. JuiceDefender is able to work *some* magic on any Android phone, rooted or not

I use them both, on default settings and find it really helps my battery. My only slight complaint would be the time it takes for 3G to become active when I unlock the screen

Is that maybe because you have "Prefer Wi-Fi" set in the APN setup? Mines comes on immediately - I'm using JuiceDefender in advanced mode.
I use both too - they do diff things, so hopefully combining them results in more savings.
I've set SetCPU to scale the CPU based on battery remaining, Temperature and Screen Off - seems to work well for me.
Never really tried experimenting with disabling these programs to compare how effective they are.
Personally I find juice defender makes a huge difference. I simply have it switch off the data connection when the screen is off, unless it is on charge.
Not sure how much of a difference setcpu will make.
Swyped from my rooted X10i using XDA.
i'm using setcpu. got it set to max for both the minimum and maximum spot and the set to as low as possible for both for when the screen is off. works heaps good for me. and makes the phone speedier when you're using it too.
I turned off Juice Defender, my battery life in still solid and completely unchanged.
I am aslo aware of the battery life is still good as before I turn of the Juicedefender. It could be SE already did something for the last update (R26)
Juice defender makes a huge difference for me, that I have already tested. Works fine on my setup.
Have had setcpu for a while, not entirely sure if it makes any difference for me.
How does android 1.6 handle cpu speed when left alone?
Sent from my rooted x10i using Tapatalk.
Android handles that quite well. I uninstalled both of them and have no faster battery drain than while using these apps. Actually it feels like battery lasts longer, but i didn't really test ;-)
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
So how to use juicedefender ? Is it easy ? Should I keep the setcpu? Or uninstall it and if ihave both how do I setup them up together.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I get three days of life without Juice Defender = the same as with it on. I feel it's worthless. It's easy just download and turn on/off the features you want.
Setcpu makes things worse for me for some reason. I used 15% battery in 2 hours just on standby.
I guess alot of it is down to how you use your phone.
As far as juice defender goes, I just use it to kill the data connection when screen is off.

Not so sure about the wifi part. I've compared the phone idling on 3G vs. idling on wifi and with wifi there's definitely more power draw. Confirmed it with System Panel, the CPU is pegged at around 10% usage while idling with wifi vs. about 1% when idling on 3G.
This has been consistent with all my other android phones too (Nexus One, Vibrant, MT4G)

You're right, wifi uses more power than 3G, and they both use more power than 2G. When idling I'd definitely want to sit on 2G if anything. When you actually need an internet connection though, wifi and 3G will be more efficient. They'll use more power but will download much faster to make up for it.
Saving power is the same for almost all android devices:
1) turn off mobile network when not in use
2) turn off wifi when not in use
3) turn off gps
4) turn off automatic syns( if you dont use them)
5) brightness set to low
6) turn off live wallpapers
7) use a black wallpaper
8) turn off haptic feedbacks
9) set screen time out to a smaller interval.
all these steps might help you but it kind of takes away the charm of the phone imho.

It's definitely the opposite of that, its counter intuitive but WiFi uses significantly less battery life over 3g. I can post some numbers when I get home tonight if anyone's interested. But a good test is leave your phone on WiFi all night, then repeat on 3g and see the enormous difference. Better yet just look at the official Google specs, web browsing time is always higher on WiFi.
I did some real nice graphing of current draw at 2 second sample rate comparing various tasks which is What I'll try to post later..

Bionix 1.2 @ stock speed, not the OC-ed version
it's stable, fast, and battery good
i have my data on all the time sync-ing every 30min
and 1 battery can last me a full day without plugging it in
Wifi automatically sleeps if your phone is idle for so long, therefore saving battery. 3g absolutely kills my battery so I have mobile data disabled when not using it. Works well for me. Also screen brightness on 0% using an app works good.

i tried with and without setCPU, and the difference in power saving was marginal
so i removed it.
it probably gave me an extra hour, but there is a bug with setCPU when picking up calls, it gets staticky until the CPU is at 800 Mhz or more
so with all that i mind, i decided to remove it

True, change the WiFi sleep policy to "never" to avoid this and extra battery savings.
I've been getting the best with CM7 so far, but I think all the roms that are about the same as long as you don't overclock them.
Use a black static wallpaper, low brightness, and get the black-themed MMS and Gmail apps from the Themes/Applications forum.
I can get well through my work day. Usually have 2+ hours of display time on and about 16 hours off the charger by the time I plug in at night with still 20-30% left. Depends on my reception in the day as well, which is pretty bad at work, so I think I'd have 30-35% if my reception at work was good.

Agreed on all points except for GPS. Since it's an on-demand service, leaving it on makes little to no impact on battery life. The phone only utilizes the GPS connection when an app calls for it and saves you the time of having to toggle it every time you need it. Just leave it on.

An active WiFi connection uses a lot less than an active 3g connection because the connection already exists and the data transfers faster.
An idle 3g connection uses significantly less energy than an idle WiFi connection. If you aren't using or connected to WiFi, turn it off. Set the WiFi sleep mode to sleep when the screen is off.
hi guys, i'm a newbie when it comes to rooting and stuff
i reduced all my lcd settings (display is only at 10%, removed animations, etc), turned off unecessary apps (wifi, etc) and i'm using setCPU (so i could downgrade my cpu speed) after i learned how to root here with the ff settings:
cpu range 200-500 mHz, conservative.
my phone still seems to be draining fast. i'm not watching vids or playing games.
can anyone help me or give me tips which overclock actually worked for their S2?
i was hoping my battery would last about a day.
thanks!
Suggestions: restore your cpu settings to normal to establish a base line. Then download Osmonitor and see if any application is hogging your cpu. If not, then, in recovery wipe Dalvik cache (not anything else!).
You don't say what rom you are on but assuming you are not watching video files all day, you should get a full day easily.

Root has nothing to with battery life directly, but you can use T.B Pro to freeze some garbage apps always.
Besides you can't get any benefit from using SetCPU? LOL. Well I don't wanna a debate here, but that damn app will not do any useful thing other than mental satisfaction.
And you stop any app which is set as Automatic refresh in an specified interval, run as low as Widgets possible, Turn Off WiFi and Packet Data when not needed, and try to use Juice Defender which is doing a great job on mine.

@tangiers: can osmonitor also freeze useless apps? or it just merely monitors your phone?

I9100 CPU is smart enough to change it's state when needed, you don't need an additional 2US$ software for that, when will people agree this fact? Anyway, why shall I care!
I'm also in the camp that thinks setcpu is a myth for saving battery. The cpu already scales up and down as needed stock. At idle the cpu sits at 250 mhz.
SetCPU
I found out that setCpu actually drained my battery faster, so just uninstall it.
See if it gets better.
My battery drains too.
Solved that problem by charging overnight.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
There are many factors that's can cause battery drain, wakelocks, signal strength, method of data wifi or 3g, display etc etc
You could have a rouge app that is keeping your phone awake, download betterbatterystats and check for partial wakelocks.
Signal strength can be a factor, see your current signal strength and then change the modem to see if this reduces.
No need to tinker with setcpu, you can underclock if you wish but generally leaving it on stock is fine.
Most importantly enjoy the phone don't get to obsessive with trying to save every ounce of battery its a smartphone at the end of the day otherwise we'd be carrying Nokia 3310s with us, and remember you can always charge nightly!

Things that drain the battery :

Try to configure them and see how much you can squeeze that .

I underclocked to 800mhz, auto brightness, ICS stock rom with the famous KH3 modem. The phone looses 2% over 8hrs of deep sleep. I think thats awesome. My phone lasts for at least 13hrs. (I charge it overnight and take it out @ 6am and use it till 11pm.)

Hey guys,
I see some people here have AMAZING battery life. Some people are getting 4+ hours screen on time with a single charge.
I only get around 2 - 2.5 hours screen on time. Which is good, but not as good as other people.
I am using the latest Paranoid Android ROM, and I have tried many different kernels but battery life is the same with all of them. I tried undervolting, still the same battery life.
All location/gps settings are OFF. The only syncing I have is Facebook syncing every 4 hours. I checked the battery stats, and everything is normal. I checked Better Battery Stats and everything is normal too, no unusual wakelocks or anything like that.
I checked my cpu bin in terminal, and it has been binned as a 'FASTER' cpu.
I have very good signal all the time. Always use WiFi, never mobile data. Bluetooth, NFC are OFF, and brightness is autobrightness.
So after all this, why am I not getting amazing battery life like others?
Thank you!

Because you use the phone and the others no! I have similar battery life. I get 3 hours screen on time.
Try cyanogenmod. For me is the best rom.
Heres a few things that help me:
make sure if your on a ROM that has it to disable cell broadcasts in wireless & network settings.
In Google sync settings, uncheck everything you don't use or can manually sync. The only things I leave checked are gmail, contacts & calendar.
If you've opened maps, make sure to back all the way out of it & swipe it away from your recent tasks screen. Better yet, if you don't need it, uninstall it or use an alternative like mapquest app.
If you don't use Google talk, open it and sign out or uninstall it.
Try not to overdo it with widgets on your home screens. I mean a few is cool, but when u have 5 screens all jam packed with various widgets constantly running & syncing...
I know you said you've tried various kernels, but I honestly found that I got the best screen on time with Franco r86 kernel (just over 4hrs). I'm not a huge kernel fan so I haven't really tried others, but I was only getting just over 3 hrs on stock.

I use the greenify app to hibernate facebook and words with friends it helps somewhat on battery life
I recently discovered that if I reduce the brightness down to 50% (which is still very BRIGHT), I can get an extra 30% battery life.
Simple, and yet, effective
Turn the brightness down - even 10pct is plenty bright indoors.

Try Eugene's CPU Sleeper from the market. It turns off all but one of your cores while the screen is off to minimize cpu usage. On CM nightly with stock kernel I got 34 hours with 17% remaining and 2.5 hours screen on time til I ended up charging my phone. I run my CPU at 1350 max / 384 min.
Make sure under sound settings all the sound on touch, keypad, etc are all turned off. Each time your phone ticks a sound it uses battery. Also bright display backgrounds will use more battery.
I only sync chrome, calendar and instant upload
good luck

Well it basically learns your routines and changes your sync settings, turns WiFi on/off when needed, and various other things you could do yourself but might forget. Kinda like tasker for lazy people so in theory yes it could save you some battery.

Tried his kernel already a few weeks ago. No real change in battery.
That seems weird
I am completely stock, and set things more or less the same with you (not syncing, no gps unless needed, on wifi all the time) and I could get over 4 hours screen on time on an 18 hours battery life. I believe this phone (chipset?) is really efficient on standby. Does your phone show that it's being kept awake much using the cpu spy app?
Same here... I'm on stock and the best i got was pretty impressive i think. 49 hours with 4 hours screen on time. I waited till the phone turned off by itself Even though i don't get that with heavier use, it's still enough to take me through a whole day which is better then my old phone
My battery saving tips:
-turn off everything you're not using (wi-fi when not at home or office/school, bluetooth, gps, low brightness indoors)
-swype away apps after you exit from them
-turn off the screen when you put it down/in your pocket etc.
-turn off google now
That is everything that i do. No sync disabling, undervolting, underclocking or other tricks

That doesn't do anything. Android as a native app killer. On the other side, this would lead to more battery consumption as Android would have to initalize data the next time you open that app. IMHO leave the apps as they are, Android would take care of them and kill them when required.

IMO it's isn't as powerful as tasker, but it's giving some extra juice.
Hello!
I was thinking, do apps like Green power and 2x battery really helps? I know they turn off data, when screen is off, but when the data goes back on, and synchronize, will it use more batter there, then it saves?
And what app do you guys recommend? I want to save as much battery as possible, even though I get emails and stuff, in intervals of 15-30 min
Sorry for the bad English, I hope you understand what I mean

Darn, if you need apps like Green Power and Juice Defender then you must really work your battery. This phone has the best battery life I have ever seen in a phone. With that said, I have successfully used JD in the past. I don't really like it though, my feeling is that you give up some performance and instant notifications for what it provides. This phone is a beast though, so the performance hits you take will be minimal.
What kind of battery life do you want or need? I get really good battery life mostly 2 day's worth unless I am off then it last just one day because I am on it non stop.

2x works great! I've used it with the last 3 Android phones I've had including this one and have seen some battery savings as a result.
There are other great things in JD besides battery savings(though main and done well with ultra fine tuning). Ping scheduling (I don't need instant notifications and 5min is more than enough if needed), GPS location switches, lower wakelock due to the latter, increased long-term battery efficiency, to name a few.
If you are rooted... I highly recommend Greenify.
