I'd get an O2X, I've heard great things about it.

Battery life is very dependant on usage, aka the more the screen is on the less time it will last.
I get 14-16hours on a charge, but I do lots of reading via google reader and web browsing, and some gaming.
The SGS2 has some of the best hardware out, an unlocked bootloader, CM hopefully coming so its got a bright future on the community side, and it even seems like samsung might push out a 2.3.4 rom soonish.
Tegra has some small advantages, eg in games, but with Chainfire 3D you can play any tegra games.
YMMV etc.

ive had the gs2 for five days now..and ive gotta say...i LOVE it. right out the gate, the screen smacked me in the face like a flying dildo..simply stunning. the os too is buttery smooth. i have updated through kies once to kf3. my handset is sim free. all stock widgets etc remain. one problem i have is 'software update' and the hubs appear randomly...so i close them, they reappear...i have been.thinking about rooting it, but ive been conditioning the battery. . if i root i can't update through kies..
anyhow, i'm getting roughly 22 hours use, with moderate usage. which is ok. i recommend this phone wholeheartedly...its simply awesome.

Despite the less than stellar battery life, thisis my favorite gadget bar none .
The battery issue is said to be fixed with the new gb 2.3.4 .some also say that modded firmware helps solve this issue.
I'm still in unrooted stock fw and I have force stopped a wifi process . This seems to have stabilized battery usage somewhat. Still too early to tell.
But with battery issue or not, I can't see myself ever using another phone.
When I carry the sgs2 with me I feel like I'm carrying a part of the future- this is what mobile computing is.

If I didn't play around with my phone so much. ( and play so many gameloft games ) My SGS would last at least 2 days. At the end of a day, where I have sent some texts and called some friends, while playing almost an hour of games. I still have 40-50 battery left.
I can recommend this to anyone. (My mom just got the sensation... It's laggy, and bad battery. Standard HTC)

[Q] Posible fault of my battery?

Hello
Please a little help.I got a nexus 7 from a week now.Is my first tablet and my first gadget with android.
When i bought it i saw on google specification that the baterry life is around 9h.I know that this will never be but...maybe a 5-6h can be done?Or is my baterry so bad?
Maxim that i manage to do was 2days 23h, 30 min with screen on 4h and 8 min.
Its ok like this?
Now..the bigger problem.Today i recharged it again and after that i just browse a bit and the baterry drop from 100% to 86%.(screen on was 58min)Dont think its ok to drop like that only just because i read some forums.
Android version is 4.2.1.I made the update but only that.(no root or some like that- the rest is just the original)
So..please can you tell me...i must go and ask for a new one?
Will try to put some pictures(the last 2 recharges),maybe will make a better opinion.
Thank you

Your N7 is perfectly fine. Were pretty much the same when it comes to battery life. I get 1day 5hr and 9min. with screen on 5hr and 32min. The 9hr life that google said is pure BS. Don't ever assume all the things that the company said to their product cuz it's just their marketing strategy to make people buy the product. However, you can achieve 9 hours MAYBE if you underclock the CPU and the GPU and lower the brightness. But your's is PERFECTLY FINE my friend. Hope this helps. Don't forget to click the thank you button if this somewhat helps you get an idea.

International Galaxy S5 Battery Life

Hey guys
I have a brand new GS5 and the batterylife is nowhere close to what reviews say. Yes I get 20+ hours but that is only counting in all the hours I am asleep.
When taking it off the charger and just browsing the web on autobrightness inside in just under a hour the battery is at 79 percent while on wifi...
Also Android system is what consumes the most. How can I fix this ? I don't want to root it yet but if I must do that that's fine for me.
Also while sleeping the battery loses 12 percent in just 6 hours. This can't be right ?

bear in mind battery technology hasnt advanced quite as far as screens and connectivity has. we have bigger screens and constant connected wifi and apps.
you're not going to get all the battery life you want. under mdium use id say this phone is about 12 hours use

Yes I know that buy it is worse than my s4 and even moto g. It can't be right. I've owned the one M8 and it should more or less like that phone but it is not by FAR. I wish I didn't break my z2, that phone couldn't be sucked dry in one day.
All this aside : if Android kernel and system is using the most energy something must be wrong

ok let me ask you this then instead
how much battery life do you want from a device that has a 1080p screen, wifi, 4g and a cpu thats higher than a P4 desktop?

Let me say you this: that's not the point. Don't try to defend samsung because you like them.
To the point: this is one of their flagship devices and I know that normally it should last a lot longer than it does now. And to answer your question it should last almost as long as the one M8 wich has near identical hardware but a less big battery.
My xperia z2 with the same chip but an even bigger display that is brighter lasted at least 22 hours with 7 hours screen on time. Yes it had a 400mAh bigger battery but that doesn't mean that there should be such a big differencr in things like browsing the web. A 1 to 1,5 hour difference yes maybe. That being said I clearly have problems with my battery draining while I'm asleep.
I have owned two s801 devices and I know it is a really power effecient chip so it is not normal that I lose 30 percent after 1 hour on really low brightness. The fact that android system and kernel is at the top of the power consumption chart is also an inidcation that there is something wrong with the firmware. I tought someone could help me that has had the same problem by suggesting for example debloating the rom, installing a certain kernel, disabling a certain samsung app and so on.
So if you have nothing better so say please may I ask you to not respond so that this thread can be maybe somewhat usefull to other users

Root, takes of all. Touchwiz craps and change a kernel you get more battery life.

I will try the Aroma debloater. If that is not enough I will root and install adaway plus a cystom kernal
Any recomendations for a stable one for touchwizz ?

Poor Battery Management!!!

I am using this phone from Last 1 week and one thing I've noticed that battery management is very poor. it keeps decreasing without no usage even when the phone sitting on the table. the phone has 4000Mah of battery but there is battery usage tab in the settings like stock android to track down what is consuming more battery. The battery is not even lasting a full day.
I think its better if someone makes or port a Stock Android-based ROM for Samsung A51 or get the solution for Poor battery management.

I think you can check battery management in Setting > Device Care > Battery.
I agree with you that the battery is poor. I cant use the phone in 1 day without charging.

Thanks for the update, let me track down the background apps for 24 hours, let see if I can help to minimize the battery drainage. BCS its the first time when I am using a Samsung phone. I usually like to use phones with stock android & never faced this issue before regarding the battery

Human consumption. My battery lasts 3 days

Well, not sure if you just purchased the phone to keep looking at it and only making and receiving calls?️

Hello !
You said that u can use u're phone 3 days and that's because of the firmware.. Can you give me more information about that please ?
I got recently this phone but the 4000mah is drained too fast, I optimize a lot of thing and got the minimal app in background or fonction like sync. The proof is that One UI is the app that drain the most of my battery.
Finally i think that is because of the screen..
But do you have an solution with a firmware or root for the autonomy of this phone ?
Sorry for my english and thanks for you're answer !
