FWIW, Wifi is a battery killer, I had the worst habit of leaving it on and my battery surely paid for it. I found this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.diordsoft.wifiauto&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5kaW9yZHNvZnQud2lmaWF1dG8iXQ.. that will turn it on only when connected to a charger. If I am somewhere that has a hotspot, I use a toggle for it, if I need to download something.

I get about 2 days out of a full battery charge (light use), using the NEAK Kernel (and it was about the same with Siyah RC5).

3G/4G > Wifi in terms of battery consumption.

However, if the signal is weak, your wifi radio will struggle to maintain the connection. Thus draining more battery.

This may sound silly

My daughters captivate had a similar problem and it was pissing me off, finally somebody told me to check the battery by spinning it, if it spins at all its bad well it was only 6 months old and it spun alomost 3x my sgs2 battery didnt spin at all and has been fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AngelsNecropolis:
8hrs and 15% left? That sounded pretty good to me! =p Before rooting and flashing the latest AOKP ICS I was getting 5hrs or less and I'm a heavy text and data user. I'm getting 8hrs now. But I have backup batteries I can use incase I'm not able to charge.

6 hrs and at 66% would mean about an 18hr battery life. That's 10 more hrs per charge than I get and I'm happy with my phone. Maybe you're expectations are too high of the battery. Especially when you state you seem to have this problem with all your phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
Either way, disabled or enabled, problem is still there. And from previous experience, 3g has used more battery than wifi.

how do you "spin" a battery?

Jesis christ thats awful. I know my battery life is bad because it was fine before, but now **** the bed. I would get about 1-2% drain per hour if the phone was on standby. Now i get like 5-6%, theres a problem.

Im beginning to think the problem is google voice. I feel like im tied to that app, since i use it as my main number, but boy does that app suck balls. Its slower than hell, sometimes doesnt get texts, etc etc etc. I would try uninstalling it, but i sorta NEED it.

But again, like ive stated before. Can someone help me determine whats wrong based on FACTS, and not pure speculation.... (eg. looking at actual numbers etc.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] veliksam:
I've been having a similar problem ics, i was on unnamed 1.3.2 and battery life was good (14-20 hours ), then i tried some of the att ics leaks as well as shostock ics, with all of the roms my battery was getting sucked dry by my wifi, i switched it off and i went from 20% drain per hour to just 4. I still don't know what's causing the wifi to be on constantly. For now I'll just keep it off (thank God i still have unlimited data).

Btw, when ever i tried going back on unnamed i again had good battery life. currently I'm on the latest ics leak using latest siyah kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
this is BS, yesterday i went from 100% to 15% in 8 hours, on pretty much NO use on AOKP. No one can help me with what the problem, and afaik its unsolvable.

I was excited for the next galaxy s phone to be announced, but you know what, i could care less now. Specs dont mean **** when your running a buggy peice of garbage operating system.

The idea of android is nice, and when working properly, its awesome, but its not worth the headache of getting it there.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Plasmamuffins:
Look. Stock Android is very stable, and it has to be for Samsung (and other manufacturers) to sell their products. Nobody wants to buy a buggy piece of garbage.

Flashing and such is going out of most peoples comfort zones. However, one should expect bugs and errors when flashing. It's all about trial and error. I've had this phone for only a month, and I've already flashed every rom and every kernel to see which combination would give me the best battery and performance.

AOKP + N.E.A.K.s kernel on lulzactive is giving me amazing battery life. Before that, the trials I ran were giving me horrible battery life.

You just have to have patience. There's no use coming on here to flame about the operating system when you aren't even running stock. Wanna buy an iPhone? Fine. Eventually you'll complain that you can't tweak anything.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
Almost 2 years of "being patient" with this phone and then the captivate. Been though more roms and kernels than i can remember, and one thing hold true, **** just *** up randomly for no reason.

Just uninstalled a few games (nothing out of the ordinary - zombievielle, dead space, wheres my water, etc), and now my battery is almost back to normal. make sense? no.

I installed them a while ago, and havent used any of them in a long time. Also - was there any indication of them running in my bbs or cpuspy? NOPE, because apparently there both worth **** too. Either that or no one knows how to interpret what data it ****s out, also making it worthless.

This phone is so temperamental that i dont want to do anything with it, and in that case - why even have a smart phone.

Android needs to get its **** together, or windows phone 8 is going to take its place. Im all for have all this freedom, but android should enforce some standards with *** carriers and manufacturers so its OS works slightly less horrible.

I was almost considering side-grading to a GNex, but for one, i dont want a bigger phone with software buttons, and two i dont think itll fix my problems.

I don't really understand what happening in the head of some people now :(

Seriously!

I think they have too many choices, too much freedom too much of free time so they just whine constantly :(

I've been on many forums from electronic to automobile, once in a while (I said "once" but actually it happen a lot) I've seen people:

+ bought a low-end gps then installed some hackware, thing didn't turn out well, they started screaming "Garmin suck", "Tomtom suck"

+ dude bought an Accord, rip it apart to install supercharger and didn't even care if it was doable or not. Failed then screaming "Honda suck" "Honda shyt"

+ guy that purchase smartphone, constantly jumped on any released ROM w/o even think "would it work for my device", just wanted to fly ahead of others, flashed and flashed and flashed and failed then screaming "Samsung suck" "Android suck"

Do they really have that kind of thinking in mind?

Why can they just take a mere minute to think?

If they bought a product, open the box, it fails then they can complain, nobody says anything but if they bought a product, open it up, rip it apart and unable to make it work flawlessly due to their ability or availability, why the fck they screaming about.

THINK.

To our member lourivelli above, I strongly suggest you throw away the Android unit, immediately buy an iPhone and pls don't jailbreak it since I really don't want to hear you screaming "iPhone suck, SGS4/5/6/7 here I come"

Is everyone else getting good battery life? I get 12 hours easily and use my phone quite frequently during the day. I have a work account synced for every 15 mins plus I leave my wifi on "always".

I know I should probably wait till we get s-off, but damn I'm impatient. I also have a galaxy nexus and on that when we unlocked the bootloader it also formatted the internal sd. Obviously in this case we have both internal and external sd cards and I know it won't affect the external, but will it affect the internal?

I use to post and utilize this forum when I had a Vibrant. I love my SII. In fact, I love it so much that, although I bought it the day it came out, I have waited until now to finally root it.

I'm so out of the loop. Are the ICS roms ready to go as daily drivers or should I wait until T-Mo drops theirs? If it's all G2G, then what are your opinions on what's best?

If you feel that Ginger is better as a daily, which is good to jump into?

Keep in mind that I am not looking for super powers and problems. I just want a good daily driver. I like being able to back **** up and use some of the features available to rooted devices, drop bloat, and theme a bit.

I'll run a log of my experiences and try to find issues, if necessary, so that this thread can appropriately stay in this section. If that still is considered a rule breaker, then I politely ask the MODs to move it to the best section.

Thanks in advance.

I can tell you from experience that the ICS Perfection is a pretty stable build. I have been running it for a week without much of a hicup. Obviously the gingerbread ROMs are more stable then the ICS ones. I used the CM7 build as a daily driver before ICS and lived it. Since I went to ICS, Eugene has started work on fixing some of the bugs on his version of CM7. Best thing to do is test them out and see what one is your style.

[HTC One X] Draciel882:
Today, I received my One X. I turned it one and played around for about 20 minutes. I then realized that in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, there is a yellow circle. You can really see it when the background colour is white but when it's a darker colour it's harder to see but still there. My soft keys are also lit up poorly. I've called HTC Canada and they couldn't do anything about it so I was transferred to HTC America and they could hardly do anything. They have asked me to ship my device to the repair facility in Houston, Texas. I'm going to ship it as soon as I receive their email with the address and what not. I'm just curious as to whether or not I'm the only one that has had this problem.

Well, I wouldn't expect it to open as fast as on the Xperia S, but still it would certainly be faster than waking the device up, unlocking the screen and only then opening the camera...

It should definitely be faster as we would get the option to unlock straight to the camera in ICS.

[Xperia Arc General] AX10i:
Marketing...

If we had the same functions of the Xperia S on our Arc, why would we want to buy their new product?

We wouldn't.

And that's not of Sony's interest. They want us to feel tempted to buy it.

It's all about profit.
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
And that feature would be what determines, whether people bought Xperia S or Arc? Don't think so...
[Xperia Arc General] AX10i:
You don't think so, but I do.

I'm happy with my Arc S, but I really miss this feature.

Obviously, that's not the only thing I envy on the XS. There's the full-HD 12Mp camera, the presence of an HD front camera, the dual-core processor, the design, the UI, the battery et cetera. But none of these would be enough to make me trade my Arc S for XS, if I had Fast Capture on my Arc.
