yes well after I wiped everything to re install mikfroyo .4.62 to fix an error I kept getting something surprising happened.
At 6 am I unit my device each day. Now it is 11 pm and I had 49 percent left. That is with about 70 messages, internet browsing l, reading some questionablecontent comic, reading the articles on CNET, two calls. Bluetooth on for 3 hours, 3 short phone calls. Reading xda using this app. Sendong a few mms, and photo downloads.
Now Idk wtf happening to get this battery life but it is amazing.
I also use the throttle tweak, netarchy toatmods.4.3.4 more havs, battery increment fix, and have never gotten anywhere close to this kind of battery life.... ever....
Just thought it was amazing

First, you can never judge battery life until you have ran a rom for a few days. THe first few days will always be a lot better or a lot worse. Second, did you wipe battery stats? Or run the Battery Calibration app? If you didnt, you could be getting a false reading, and while your phone says 40 percent, it may be more like 10, and your phone could die any time.
Yes I did the full large techniques.and reset battey stats everytime I flash. and I have ran this donbefore as in I had an issue that I had to re flash the Rom. Nothing is different except I wiped everything this time LOL. I know the whole Rom and battery thing jot my first time flashing not the last.

when i was running cm 6.1.2, after calibrating everything and tweaking all my settings just right, on full juice that was about right. the phone sleep was awesome. I would go about 30-35 hours, but with light surfing, texting here/there and phone calls. maybe -maybe some gps but that usually lessoned my hours. under heavy usage i would get 18 hours or so. ...i miss that cm 7 doesn't seem to be anywhere near that.
I averaged 1day 9hrs on CM7...with 3 hours of playing emulators and some calls, ect.
And lol at the "questionable content comics."

It's just the cynic in me. But whenever I've seen people post ridiculous battery life like this with a stock battery, I immediately discredit it unless I see a picture of the battery usage.
And almost every time I've seen someone post the pics trying to "prove" their amazing battery life, they either
a) claimed to use a stock battery but were actually using an extended one (people went back through their posts and saw that they had extended
or
b) they had almost no display usage

Well first off, I don't blame you for being skeptical, cuz I used to be too, untill I started getting it. And second, I won't say something unless I can back it up.
Setup:
Rom: CM7, latest nightly
Kernel : Tiamat 4.0.2 / 3.3.7 [both are the best, in my opinion, 4.0.0 breaks cameras, stay away from it.]
Undervolt: Viperboy's bsm -100mv extreme / bsm v2
I don't use setcpu or juice defender.

Look, if you can't keep track of time, that's your problem. I can well keep track of time and have fixed my phone to suite my needs, and able to get 3 hours of emulator play; if you device fails to perform to that task, not my problem. I'm here to provide information and share my stats, as everyone else he does. If you feel the need to post ignorant degraded posts because you may not believe something, then you sir are ignorant. I won't be putting anymore effort into this, so deuces.
How good a single person's battery life is irrelevant. Consistent results among the majority of users is what is needed. The Droid Charge needs to come to Sprint so we can get a day of heavy use easily.

I will not have bickering over battery lifes or outrages claims on this topic..
It is unneeded,
It's really fascinating to me how some people can get over 24 hours of battery life
on the Evo. I don't think I have bad battery life while my phone lasts about 7 hours, but that's at pretty moderate use. Maybe if I just left my phone alone I can get over 24 hours, but what would be the point of that? Just my thought, everyone uses their phone differently so everyone is going to have different battery life.
And its true that the EVO 3D has a bigger battery, but it also has dual core processor and 3D among other things, so I don't think the results will differ much.
Poor signal strength = short battery life.

I believe the newer processor & graphics chipset use less power than those in the Evo 4G so there could be a decent gain in up time.

It seems that many people talking about battery life forget about the effects signal strength, especially if you have several services syncing data in the background.
Personally I find signal strength to be the largest variable in my battery life, not just on the Supersonic but on a Rhodium and a Kaiser as well. I have a horrible signal at my home (no carrier has a decent signal at my home) and with light usage my battery will be dead in 6-8 hours. When I am at work where I get an excellent signal I can spend 2-3 hours on the phone, and receive and review dozens of email and only use about 15% of my battery.
The moral of the story is that the same phone on the same rom with the same settings and usage can perform drastically different in different areas.

Thats what I herd too..thats why I'm also calling google a lier about saying this thing lasts 20hours with audio playback.
I'm curious, do they see a big improvement in battery when the display using 15-20% battery or its just numbers that were out a place to begin with?
I have identical figures. That combined with picking the N1 from a list says to me that these are just database figures rather than real world ones for your handset.
Root your phone and then install cyanogenmod and one of the under volted kernels. I usually get 24 - 30 hours battery life.
I just ran a test. I left the mp3 player on all night turn all the way on repeat. SO far after 8hrs of playing I was at 52%. If I'm correct, I just might be able to hit 18hrs...MMMM

No problems at all? no 3g issues?, battery only lasting a day or half? or touch screen issues?
Ok after 100% charge..the app is telling me that my phone will last 10hr:48min with moderate use....anyone thinking that the F on my P/N might mean battery sucker..
i have the exact same numbers as you. if you choose other instead of the phone type it asks you to enter your battery's info so it sounds like it only goes by the type of battery anyway. Not actual usage specific to your phone
My phone ends in an F as well. My battery life SUCKS right now. I have tried everything. The weird thing is it was good until I rooted my phone and applied Cyanogen rom. I've tried .2 and .3 for the Cyan rom's, all with bad battery life. I've tried wiping batterystats, fulling draining battery then recharging, task killer to wipe anything in the background, I even have a 2nd battery. No luck. I've also tried the undervolted kernal, but I didn't really notice a difference with it. (Only tried it for about a day so)
Bottom line though, something is going on. Something (I suspect with Cyan's roms) is killing battery life for some of us. I just wish I could figure out what it is.

Any chance you're using Weatherbug or Weatherbug elite (based on your SS)? After installing weatherbug and using the widget I got absolutely ABYSMAL battery life. I've purchased several other weather widgets and none had the effect that Weatherbug did for some reason. I removed it and battery life is back to normal again (moderate use and plenty of battery at the end of the day).

How long your battery lasts definitely depends on the apps youre using, I use my phone a lot, probably more than the average user, although i dont make many calls. My phone will easily last from when I leave my house around 530am till 11pm or so when I go to bed. I do use a task manager to kill stuff I dont need running every once in a while, I think it really just depends on how you use it. I use it for a lot of texting, surfing and news, and Pandora at work. I use wifi when im at home although ive never noticed it eating my battery. Yesterday I was playing Pandora over bluetooth on 3G for a little over 3 hours and it only took 5% of my battery. Im on Cyanogen 5.0.5.3, if that matters. With all that said I rarely go all day without charging it, I usually plug it in a bit at work and plug it in when I get home, but if I dont for whatever reason it easily lasts my whole day.
Before I was a behavioral therapist I worked for a small (lol) company called Applied Materials. And there I worked as a project manager. And what I learned there was the importance of following procedure, something most here seem to fail doing. I know I'm not the only one tired of seeing at least 2-3 threads a day pop up complaining how adryns or blah blahs rom is giving you horrible battery life. Have you stopped and thought for a second that it may have something to do on your part? Let me rephrase that, it is something to do with you. There are procedures before flashing...for example, flashing on a full charge is ALWAYS recommended. Second, wipe wipe and wipe again. I hope you don't wipe your ass the same way you do your phone. You stop to think for a second that flashing two themes a day isn't going to f things up with your battery if you're not following proper protocol? Why is it some people don't have issues and some do? It's simple, you f'd it up.
And for the record, the reason I posted this is to stress the importance of following the rules, bc when there really is an issue, it's like "the boy who cried wolf". We don't know which is legit and the other is just some kid too hyped to get that blackhole or superclean and cuts corners.
This thread drained my battery real bad.

The fascinate is proven to get better battery life then the droid amoung many other androids. I get maybe 16 hours of heavy use. I've been on this forum all day running superclean 2.1 with voodoo and still have 37% left...yeah that's some ****ty battery life for ya lol
Edit: maybe the majority of us getting around 15+ hours are just on some really good dope.
Droid? Which droid? Certainly not the Droid X, I had one and battery life was way better. I dont know anybody that gets more than 10 hours on heavy use. Sure you can get more if you dont actually use your phone as a phone.

Lmfao...really? Then why is my cousin who has an x charging his phone while im sitting here on his couch still posting. Before you post again take a peek...i've been trollon this forum for 12 hours now.
I followed everything to a T the second time around. My first time flashing superclean I was getting less than stellar battery life. Second time around I wiped data, cache, dalvik, and battery stats multiple times while on a full charge.
I've had my phone off the charger for 13 hours now and I am at ~60%. I haven't used it as heavy as normal, but even under heavy load I am getting much better battery than my first time around.
In "16 hours of heavy use", how much of that time was your screen active? You can look in Settings -> About -> Battery Use -> Display. "Heavy use" is a fairly imprecise term, since what one person might consider heavy use might be 'fairly light' to another.

I agree with your post, thought. Every time a new rom is released, the next several days are filled with complaints about the battery life. If you follow the procedure for resyncing the battery stats, your battery life will be back.

I get good battery life...so this isn't a fact for me.
The most important thing to keep in mind is battery life is SUBJECTIVE, as are the terms used to define usage (including "good" and "crap" as in the above). What one person considers "light/medium" use might be "heavy" use for someone else, and vice versa.

Not percentage, but time.
My Fascinate, currently, has been unplugged for 22 hours. Light/medium/heavy use is all completely and totally relative and opinionated terms. The amount of 'Time on' for the screen is a fair bit better way to show the use than just the meaningless 'heavy' & friends terms *. I've had my screen on for 55 minutes total, during those 22 hours, and am down to 42% battery life remaining. I wouldn't call the use I'd done 'heavy use', but someone else might consider that about as much use as they've given their phone in a WEEK!
I find my battery life is decent, but by no means amazing (I generally always make it through a day, 2 with light usage).
* Even then, it's a fair bit different if the time was spent looking at a single active pixel on the screen, vs playing with an augmented reality app that keeps the GPS, camera+flash, and wifi/3G constantly going, while also burning huge amounts of cycles on both the GPU and CPU... but one step at a time.

In my case it's mostly due to the fact that the phone never sleeps if GPS is enabled. When the phone doesn't sleep, it eats battery at an alarming rate even just sitting in your pocket. Once GPS is disabled in the notification shade, battery life is more in line with DL09. I'll be happy once we get some custom kernels, as a LV kernel seems to help my device a bit, but battery life isn't so bad anymore as to cause me to flash back to DL09.

Need more info like he said.......... But Read the Sticky about battery and look at some of the custom roms. They get great battery life.
And Yes, you may be the only one..............
I get horrible battery life. Running the Stock KA6 Froyo build. No custom roms. I think I would like the phone more if it got better battey life. I get 12 hrs max. No heavy usage on phone either. NO GPS OR WIFI on either.
This is probably the most asked question I see here. I recommend the search feature
If you're on a stock or leaked ROM, your battery is going to suck. Root, download Titanium Backup and start by freezing both DRM Processes and Media Hub for starters.
Next, spend the $2 and download an app called "SystemPanel". Run if for 24 hours. It will tell you what is draining your battery. The hardware is perfectly capable of good battery life. The more bloatware (Samsung and T-Mobile Apps) and crap apps you remove from your system, the better. Also, 3G, especially in area's with poor reception, will eat your battery life. In my experience, EDGE + WiFi is MUCH more friendly than 3G with no wifi. WiFi Calling is a battery killer as well. Getting great life is really quite easy once you know what you're doing, and the best way to know what you're doing is to read up.

I get around 40 hours with light use. Running the latest bionix rom. wifi and bluetooth enabled the whole time, approx 90 minutes with the screen on. You should be able to get close to that.
Quick question: I run system panel. It never show media hub in top apps, why should I freeze it then?

No **** that CM7 has bad battery life, it doesn't have optimizations. And 5% is exaggerating it, I lose 2% an hour with 3G on. I'd say that's pretty good.
Yes, it does die VERY quickly when you use it, but I expected that, that's why I use my iPod for heavy usage.
Also, the 1% thing, what kind of weed are you smoking? That seems like some REALLY good stuff.
Okay sorry about that lie. Truthfully moderate usage of 8 hours I lost about 20% I left a screenshot and from 100% I lost that in about 20 min no screenshot.

Why do people use subjective terms like light, moderate, and heavy? Let us know what your display times are, as well as wifi or 3G connection.

GUYS HE'S RIGHT! I just flashed Darkyy's rom 2 days ago, and i haven't lost a single percent.
Maybe the phone being off has something to do with it?
Even on standby, it will lose 1-3% in a hour.

It's a general saying;
Light means it wasn't used that much but still a bit
Moderate, you check your phone once in a while, texting phone calls etc.
Heavy is when your phones like on 24/7(not literally, but i'm guessing you know what i mean)

The battery meter doesn't seem to be very linear. You are best off to run it dead and see how many hours your phone lasts. I can make it all day with 75% left, but it will be down to 40% in the morning.
-MUCH improved battery life..55% left with about 23 hours after unplugging..wifi was on and played a good amount of angry birds (light to moderate use otherwise)
-brought back notification bar brightness adjustment thingy
-charges MUCH faster as well
-wifi doesn't crash
-no noticeable performance changes
-media scanning seems to be faster
Might edit this post later...just a little info for those updating.. :|

your just turning your phone on to check time or something, thats just not possible.
I can get 15 hours max, i've gotten 20 but with the minimalest use ever.
I have no data plan, so i use wifi all the time, and even with that, i dont get that kind of battery life, your just ****ing with me bud.
I'm not...serious about that.results may vary anyway. My brightness wasn't really too high. I would have
Capped, but I'm not rooted and my camera is pretty bad.

NO NO NO NO.
Results may vary, but not by 6+ hours.
My brightness is always at either 0% or 15%
Camera being bad has nothing to do with battery life.
Rooting doesn't either.
Light to moderate? no.
VERY light? yes.
i'm sorry if i sound rude, but i just hate it when people OVER- say what they actually want to say.
23 hours and 55% left is just dumb. That would mean that you'd get 2 days worth of battery.
Either your battery's filled with magical unicorns that auto-refill your charges, or your lying.
^^^^^Riiiiiight.
I get 30 hours of use easy--I'm on it all the time.

You can get 24+ hours just on overstock + trigger.
Beleive it or not, once when I left to work, I had 9% battery and I was like !!, so i turned off wifi, data, sync. and sed phone just to check for msgs etc and maybe 1 call.
When I got back home after ~9 hrs, I had 5% battery and I was pretty amazed. True story, take it or leave it.
I m on KB1 and right now 17hours on %52. So it is possible but it all depends on the usage.

I believe it, i never said its impossible to get 20+ hours of battery life, i've gotten there too.
but the OP has gone through 23 hours and has 55% remaining.
thats ****ing insane.

The problem with people posting their drain times is that light use for you and me might be considered heavy use by the OP. With that said, if you properly want to tell people how good your battery is, post your screen on time. At least that gives an idea as to how good your battery is in comparison to something we can also measure.

the DEFAULT settings for battery usage is the most inaccurate.
Use another app from the market, that shows like a line graph of when you charged etc.
I have MIUI, so i know my battery life is horrible.
What other improvements...
Other than battery life what other improvements did this update bring. When I updated my wife's phone to 2.2 she said it was crap. Visual voice mail did not work properly which was a big deal to her.
Did this update have any other improvements?
Well not really other than the OP. No real overall performance changes. Just about as fast or slow as froyo depending on what you think about it.

If you literally do nothing on it (other than leave it on), a fairly new battery will drain slower than that. Mine will last a couple days if all I do is turn the screen on to check the time.
After I put 2.2 on my phone I noticed that vvm kept running in the background and was draining the battery. Was this fixed?

I have to concur with the posting, I forgot to plug in my phone yesterday so when I got up this morning it had been 27 hours since I last plugged in and I was at 56% left according to my battery widget running Bi-Winning with overstock version1.4, I got to say this much improved battery life surprised me. i do not have my screen @ 45% I run @ 60% bright
I get faster data transfer as well. So this is all good...... Too bad Samsung took 8 Months to figure out how to code a decent modem......

Hi there folks! So, the galaxy s2, it's an awesome phone, the best i ever had, probably as powerful as a decent netbook. almost impossible to make it lag, the screen is awesome etc... but there's a serious drawback, which is making me want to go back to the iphone4, the battery life. i know, there are bazillions of threads about it, but come on, all people reply to those threads are suggestions, almost placebo like. e.x. "use juice defender", "turn off wifi, gps..", come on, these are not solutions. even with minimal usage, i can barely get a day out of my samsung, with heavy usage, i have to charge it 3 times a day, and considering that it uses a stupid and extremely low current limiter through the chipset (around 500 mili amps?) it takes 3 hours to charge it. for comparison, i have a asus transformer with the keyboard dock, hell, this makes me even more sad with the galaxys, as the transformer, lasts a whole day (at least 14-15hrs) at 70% brightness while gaming.
so, what the problem samsung? I'm using Ninphetamine's kernel with lightening rom (all up to date), i tried other kernels, other roms, but all of them have this issue, even when everything was stock, a day of minimal usage. here are some screens, android os is consuming most of the battery, does the section "android os" also include the kernel battery consumption?
is there a extended version of the android built in battery usage, a more specific one?
Works fine for me. Get a grip and read around. Easily get 3 days with average use.

I am Heavy user and it lasts me around 13-15 hours and am on stock not rooted.
Besides was curious How heavy you use it cause If you are like sitting whole day with it you are better off on the computer I guess

If you are using ninphetamine and an android 2.3.4 ROM and still having battery issues, it's your problem. You have an app installed that drains battery, this is not a suggestion, this is fact. Do a completely clean install of an original dev rom, remove google latitude if it's included (known to drain battery).
If you aren't making it through atleast a full day of heavy use with that setup, then it's a hardware problem and you should RMA it.

well no, i never wipe my battery, why would i ? battery drainage by android os seems to be consistent. well just in case its a magic trick, i'll try it now
The transformer is a tablet, of course it has space for a huge battery extended by another huge battery in the keyboard. Perhaps you have a faulty battery that's not keeping charge well because I get nearly a whole day on a single charge, med to heavy use. And juice defender is a legitimate program that actually works, its not a placebo. Get a grip and stop blaming legitimate programs, or else no one will take you seriously. Read around, try some different roms, but it might just be a bad battery, if you have warranty, get the battery replaced. It couldn't hurt to try.

Well threes your problem. Its not a magic trick, its fact. Do it every time you install a new rom Also, as I said before, it might be a hardware problem.
15 hours off charger, 53% battery left, 1 hr voice calls, 1 hr screen on. Not bad I'd say. I've maintained everything on except bluetooth. I have google talk, and trillian, whatsapp, facebook, tuenti, push email and a couple other things going on in the background like twitter and such, and I couldn't be happier. Well, if it could make me breakfast . I'd say you're doing something wrong. Stock, 2.3.3 not rooted. I'm just a normal geek joe!

So far I've used VillainROM with ninphetamine which gave great battery life, and MIUI with the kernel included which is also pretty good (not as good as villainrom with ninphetamine though). As daily ROM I use MIUI though since I love the interface and theming options.

I wouldn't suggest Cyanogen at this time, it works pretty well but it's not a stable or near final release. Also you can't use ninphetamine with Cyanogen without breaking things since ninphetamine was made for stock ROMs.
Battery wipe DOES help. I can say that with confidence cause I have seen the effect.

Like everyone said: Wipe Battery Stats, and/or switch to VillainRom. I dont think Lite'ning produces the best battery life in my experience. I couldnt stand the rom.
And one of the good things about Android phones is that you can buy an extended battery from ebay. They're quite affordable as well
I get crazy battery life on Litening rom. You need to do factory reset before or after installation.
