I can confirm that battery on 5.1 is pretty terrible:

35% down in 7 hours with barely any usage (19 minutes screen on).

I did notice that the phone showed as awake apparently every couple of seconds or so!!!!!

I reset CPU Spy and will report back in an hour or so with results (if I remember)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andTab:
Ok. Dropped another 5%+ in the last hour.

Out of 57 minutes the phone was in deep sleep for 49 minutes, 1:20 at 1.5Ghz, 2:00 at 1188Mhz, :46 at 810 and 5:13 at 384.

After screen these are the worst offenders:

Cell Standby (21%)

Phone Idel (14%)

Android OS (13%)

... also noticed Exchange Services at 5%.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] geoldr:
I cant comment on 5.1, but I have 5.0 and currently at 81% with 6h 19m on battery with just 8m on for the screen. and no background syncing is enabled, no wifi either.

Also im having a strange issue with 5.0 with first two patches. Everytime I use my phone in disk mode, and disconnect it it does not run the media scanner so Gallery and music dont show any of my stuff. I have to go to settings/storage and unmount/remount my external SD card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andTab:
That seems like terrible battery life considering you have no syncing on (which btw imo defeats the purpose of a smartphone)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
I was getting easily 24+ hours with just about everything turned on. Wifi, LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, syncing 3 different emails, calendars, etc.

Waiting the 3 days someone indicated to see if it helps but it sounds like a number of other people have indicated battery with 5.1 isn't good for the either.

ETA: I'm down to around 16 hours or so with 5.1 and the same setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mauix:
How are you guys getting 24 hrs? I've always gotten 13hrs. Even after flashing this ROM, still 13hrs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] andTab:
With CM7 I easily got 24+ hours.

From 8am through midnight with light usage (maybe 10+ minutes surfing and one or two calls for 5-10 minutes of calls), I always had 40% or more battery left.

This was with wifi off, bluetooth off except while driving (for 10+ minutes daily) but everything else on!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Don't know if I was doing anything special. I have a microcell at home so I'm mostly on wifi at home and at work. LTE probably 2 hours a day, mostly text, email pushes, a little bit of voice.

ETA: The HTC Inspire I was getting my feet with easily goes 24+ hours for me as well close to 2 days sometimes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kenneth.Torres:

After 2-3 days (3rd day for me), it looks like the battery has stabilized for me.

14h 38m and I have 81% battery. It looks like 5.1 is back to 5.0 performance for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Wow you only lost 20% in 15 hours?? I'm assuming you were asleep for a good chunk of that? Was data on or off?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Normal sync for all emails/calendars (5 different accounts), GPS, Wifi, BT, everything on like normal but not in use except wifi I guess as I'm connected to a microcell at home.

Cell standby was the biggest user according to battery for me.

Not sure if its typical but it was what I was seeing with 5.0 previously when I was getting concerned.

ETA: I wasn't doing anything differently the previous 2 days when I was at around 16 hours of battery life for the day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
ok guys after many week of reasearch and trying things, here is two things I find usefull: Hope it helps you too:

1) Not to get restart problem follow these steps for instalation, if you are not instaliing update skip the flash update step. Thank you to the creator of Sky Ice for this:

DONT USE DARKSIDE SCRIPT WIPE

To Install Base

1.Wipe factory data reset ....3 times

2.go to mounts and format system 3 times

3.then install the rom..

4.then go back and reboot system now

5.Then let it settle atleast 5 min...select a launcher..

6.then continue to let it finish...and dont touch anything until screen times out !!!!!

(if you have alot of pictures it will take a few minutes longer to media scan)

7.Open busy box installer .. and install anyway

8.Reboot back to recovery

After Base Install And Installing the Update

1.Clear cache partition

2.Go to Advanced, click clear Dalvik cache

3.Find Latest Update.zip (skip this if you dont have update)

4.Install and reboot when finished

5.Finally open up Rom Manager and run Fix permissions

6.One last reboot and Voila!!!!

B) Modem issues

So I installed the new UCLC5 modem and now I even get LTE on FULL Bars, it's great and works perfect, but here is how to do it right

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ROM MANAGER FIRST

1) Download it from here http://cl.ly/FpCO, safe it on Ext. SD Card

2) Reboot to Recovery

3) Clear Cache

4) Advansed/Clear D. Cache

5) Flash the Modem

6) Reboot, it will take few minutes, LET IT SIT FOR 5 MIN, DONT DO ANYTHING!!!

7) Now go straight to ROM Manager, do not open any apps or anything.

Now it will most likely it something will freeze and you will get a stop working messege, but just be pacient and wait and keep clicking ok, while making your way to ROM Manager

8) Fix Permission in ROM Manager ( it will happen, even if some app or process freezes in the middle of it, just keep cliking ok for the error messege and let permissions finish.

9) Reboot to Recovery right after permissions is finished.

10) in Recovery go to Advanced/Fix Permission (it may take a minute)

11) Reboot System, it should be normal reboot, just let it sit for a minute

12) now go to dialer and press *#2263#

13) Choose LTE/LTE ALL/click on whatever the number is

14) go back to dialer nd press *#2263# again

15) Choose 1 Auto/Auto/1

give it 10 sec, and ther you go perfectly working modem!

so u have the Skyrocket? and no other apps to deal with battery and you get 24H?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Yes, I have the Skyrocket on AT&T. I haven't done anything special since I switched over from the iPhone a couple of weeks back. I was getting 24H+ prior to 5.0 then had a couple of days of 16H days on 5.1 and it looks like I'm back to 24H+.

ETA: Normal day is mostly SMS, emails, BT and LTE radio for 2 hours or so (commute), talk for about an hour or less. LTE radio is on all the time I'm on wifi which is usually the rest of the day. Wifi at the office or microcell at home for emails.

I leave everything on without toggling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
even sync?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harryd84:
Does the UCLC5 increase your reception? I'm in the GTA (Mississauga) and usually get around 1 or 2 bars LTE max.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Syncs always on for me for all of my accounts. Emails and calendars at the very least. Some syncs picasa and contacts.

ETA: Whatever the default timers are is what I'm using. I only changed the items that it syncs like turning off picasa for my work accounts, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Yes FULL BARS LTE

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

can you make some screen shots?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamng:
Screenshots of what?

ETA: Here's the screenshot of my battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] musa13:
More bars on the LTE doesn`t mean you got better signal with UCLC5 modem. Difference between two modems (UCLC4 and 5) could only be in the way signal strength is calculated.

On UCLC4 I got les bars but speed of LTE has increased for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Dude, I have no idea, it is what it is, use if you want and check

Thanks. When u mostly use WiFi, battery is great
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harryd84:
Followed your instructions, I managed to eventually fix permissions and reboot but it says:

Encryption Failed

Unable to complete encryption due to interruption. Perform factory data reset. After resetting, tyu encrypting device again

any ideas?

it gives me the option to reset device from that screen.

Can not make ucl5 modem work, even after fixing permission still everything slow and FC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
Sorry guys, I have no more solutions, I mean I did this way it works, other then that you better go back to 4, and wait for some one to fix the 5, sorry
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harryd84:
no need to be sorry, I knew the risks but its causing a lot of issues for me.. If I reinstall the superlite rom will it reflash to modem for me? or do I have to do that separately?

I'm only asking because I flashed the superlite and its running extremely slow now..

I can't even get into the system settings.. without it force closing. I've reflashed twice and even used the Darkside wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
not sure if it comes with modem, probably yes, but its safer just to flash modem before rom, you can just wipe chache and d cahe and flash modem on what you have now, it will be fine, no need to do it fresh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] harryd84:
ok, got it back to normal.. as much as the weak LTE sucks (i get no more then 7mbs) I'll have to stick with the original modem for now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
I do get around 12-16, but what I don;t like is when on full bars it's just 4G and usually if I make a call it goes to gull bars.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:

Something is definitely wrong with the ROM and battery usage.

Used GPS navigation today and despite charging, the battery was going down.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
Its like that on ALL ICS leaks, Google in ICS decided to remove it from the phone app which has not set in too well with most folks. You can still access it by clicking Menu and then bringing up Contacts, I know it sucks, but this is how it is right now.

Dixit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iLiberate:
But isn't it the Samsung phone app? Let's just replace it with the one from Gingerbread...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
Not that easy at this moment, a few devs are working a solution. Cant just jam a GB apk into an ICS OS when so many underlying framework pieces have changed. Hang tight as the devs look for a way to bring it back in.

Hey,

Is there anyway to get the stock samsung email apk back into 5.1. The new email app doesn't allow for Peak Scheduling, so my email is getting checked all night..

Ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dixit:
Just pull it from the Superlite 5.0 ZIP.

Here is the two files you need

Email.apk

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71666129/Email.apk

Exchange.apk

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71666129/Exchange.apk

Drop those two into your /System/App, remove the two other ones (EmaiGoogle and ExchangeGoogle APKs) and reboot into recovery, fix permissions, and that should put it back to Samsung Native email.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] XsceneXhippieX:
the ONLY issue ive encountered on this rom whatsoever is the phone app SUCKS ASS at EVERYTHING. im talking like it wont even scroll for 2-3 seconds when trying to call someone back, its ridiculous. but my contacts synced perfect upon the first boot the day 5.1 came out, my 4g lte has been at full speed, upload speeds are awesome, scrolling and animation on EVERY SINGLE app other than the dialer/call log app is super smooth and fluid for me, i cant say theres anything else i even could complain about except the samsung-iphone-esque stock theme at play but thats well worth the functionality and lack of bugs and stupid glitches ive been getting on multiple other roms today alone, i keep coming back to this rom because it keeps on running better than the others do for me

thank you for your hard work getting this OS put together for us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] n19htmare:

UCLD2 Base Change

I tried out the SkyICS with the UCLD2 modem and when I restored to this rom the modem stayed UCLD2 instead of going back to UCALC4.

It says I have reception and data so nothing seems to be wrong.

Am I going to run into any trouble or is it okay to stay with the UCLD2 modem??

Also, it would be mighty wicked if mhx can make a fix for google contact sync from the new leak

Thanks

Update:

Had to flash the UCALC4 modem back because I was getting a really crappy reception with the UCLD2 modem; kept getting dropped signal and was being unreliable. O well

You should be fine on that modem.

I kept getting the freeze on shut-down problem until I used Darksides SUPER WIPE. This was the only time I got shutdown to not freeze on me.

I had this ROM installed for about 4-5 days now. I notice sometimes it would just turn off in my pocket randomly, and I would also get vibrations once in a while ( something keeps crashing?). Also, Im not sure if its just me but I think the keyboard is somewhat lagging, whenever im typing fast sometimes some letters would get skipped.

anyways those are some things to look into, hope you can fix them soon!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulaimanhakh:
Doesn't seem to help, keyboard still lags. its not crazy lag but its slight, and every so often I would skip out a letter which is annoying.

I also noticed that if I connected my phone to my computer and mounted the SD to transfer files, when im done transferring my files and disable the USB connection the media scanner only scans the Internal memory, not my 16GB microSD. Sometimes I would see my media files but every time I mount they're gone and I can only see the media files on my internal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Software Guy:
I love this rom! I have not had issues like the others, it's very smooth. The only issue I have (I installed it last Friday) is the battery drain seems to be more than the stock gingerbread rom.
