Samsung Galaxy S2 Battery Life per charge

[jay-r_]

Hello Guys, just wondering pila ang battery sa inyong SGS2.

My SGS2 last for 14 hours max.
My battery usage states that Android OS consumes 95% most of my battery.

My Android version: 2.3.3
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF1

I've read that there is Android version 2.3.4 (fixing battery issues)
but Samsung Kies stated it differently, it said I got the latest firmware.

and No update was found when trying to search for updates via Phone update menu.

My sisters android phone last for 2 days max with older android version.
I think it was froyo, her phone is SE X1.


btw, thanks for answering the poll.
still looking for answers.

up ko... don't get me wrong diay, i love my SGS2... pero i would love it better if mag last siya for 2 days.

Depends on my usage, I've gone as high has 7days w/o any recharge and naa pay 30% na bilin. What your experiencing now is the Andriod OS bug theres no way to fix it yet but there is a way to minimize it, requires rooting and flashing. I offer such services if your interested.

Thanks boss EarlZ for the info but recently my phone has been
running on battery for 11 hours using only 21% of my battery,
leaving 79% remaining battery for my SGS2.. hmmm...
my SGS2 must have been scared of the idea of being rooted. hahaha..
anyway, what i remembered doing before i got this better battery performance
for my SGS2 was that i deleted/uninstalled my pre-installed yahoo msgr app, which was
always running as a service on my system.
then i removed(from idle screen and stopped in running service) battery widget apps
which is also running as service. and other unnecessary running apps was stopped.
I then recharge the phone to 100% then tested it. then yeahey! it worked for me.

the Android OS battery consumption dropped from 90%->80%->-70%->49%->17%(lowest i got)

2 days of battery life is OK with me.
I can now wait for a newer firmware that possibly could extend my battery life longer.

To all, try this, this might work for you.

Bumping this.

Anyone else got remedies for the battery issue?

[J.Abz]

there are a lot of factors that affects the battery performance on the S2

most users of S2 in xda-developers have simply rooted their firmwares to a custom rom that does well on the battery management part.

Also, most of them have purchase the 2000 Mha battery and some have claimed that it incredibly gave more battery life on their phone....

This has yet to be proven on a user level though kay each user has different customization /usage and preferences on their S2s.....

You did the right thing. My battery has also shown great improvement when I uninstalled the Yahoo! Messenger app. That buggy app! Haha
