I've been pondering over whether or not to upgrade to ICS now as the german version is released. My question is whether or not the battery life is similar to what you get with gingerbread. I've attached an image of what i get on a normal day, when i am at work and use my phone normally and not when i am sitting at home and never let my phone hit deep sleep!
Sure you get a lot of added features but battery life is what i really care about at i need to go sometimes two days without charge.
Got around 74 pct after 9 hrs of extreme light usage.

How does it compare to ICS hour by hour? any difference would you say?
I would skip this Samsung release of ICS. Samsung's interpretation of ICS is not terribly different then GB unless you run a different launcher. I thought battery life was worse on the German release. With the added risk of bricking a few have experienced, don't do it.
If you want try the ICS, go with this one;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1627854
With this one, you can easily and safely role back to GB from a nandroid backup. This one does not have Touchwiz and the SPen is not fully functional as it is in TW.
I find battery better on GB personally but not by much when u compare it to the silky smooth quickness of ICS

It's a shame because i really wanted to put ICS on but if my battery is going to die out in a day, will be pointless to have. Thanks for the advice people!
I'm getting about the same, maybe slightly better its hard to judge, yup never use your phone the same each day

For me so far samsungs 's ICS has not even been close to the battery life I got on Stunner. I'm a little disappointed but not enough to go back to ASOP or GB. Oddly enough I love TW with ICS Elements fused in.

It looks like it drops pretty quickly even when your screen isn't on. Are you sure you don't have wakelock problems? I think your battery life could be better, even without ICS.

Well i've just downloaded the app, xda edition ofcourse, lets what happens but judging from my deep sleep time, doesn't seem like i have a wakelock issue.
Any settings i need to change in the application or leave it to run its magic?
My battery life is noticably worse in ICS. I'm getting a lot of odd wakelocks that I never saw in GB.

Well, if wakelocks aren't the problem.. Then I don't know.. ICS battery life seems better in general, but GB shouldn't be that different (and wasn't for me me I used it). Not that your battery life is bad or anything, but it could be better. Like I said, your phone in deep sleep should hardly use battery at all.
Well looks like I will have to test it out and see the outcome, looks like I shouldn't get my hopes up.

Just been online and read a few posts about Android 2.3.4 updates on the Nexus, which allegidly suffered from the infamous 2.3.3 battery drains.
But unless i'm mistaken, according to what I have read online the 2.3.4 has not fixed this issue.

You can check this out http://www.gsmarena.com/android_234_gingerbread_leaks_for_the_samsung_galaxy_s_i9000-news-2761.php
An update although it's for galaxy S. All I'm picking up from the comments is speed. You shouldn't compare other phones with 2.3.4 as it's all down to the manufacturers on how they implement fixes to the ROM. Nexus S has more support so I wouldn't compare the two.

Many have confirmed with the SGS1 that Android OS bug is now gone in their 2.3.4 firmware. So if thats the case, I only seem to have bad battery drain when I check battery stats and Android OS is taking up 80% of battery drain - even more than display time. Apparently 2.3.4 should be helping take care of that. We will see though. Until then, I think all we can do is cross our fingers and not assume that it will or will not take care of battery drain and will see when it comes.

I heard what he heard and the folks on the SGS1 forum seem happy. What any of us have "heard" is really irrelevant since none of it has been tested on a SGS2. We'll find out soon enough when 2.3.4. gets released.
I bet just putting a new version number on the same release and claiming it improves battery life would anyway have dozen of ppl claiming how much better their battery has become.
Battery is very very subjective ;-)
Personally checking the Android OS time I doubt I would get a lot more battery life from the SGS2 even if it wasn't there. Probably 3h more if the phone is on standby after 3 days, yes, but when using it, 10min?
2.3.4 Leaked Firmware is out for Galaxy S. It still has the Battery Drain Problem.
oooo thats bad ,i wont upgrade it till everyone say good thing about 2.3.4,staying with 2.3.3 for the moment lol cant face a bad battery problems not when im listening lots of music for many hrs
even though it might not completely fix the battery drain problem, I believe 2.3.4 will at least improve battery life across the board.

Well, you still do have this problem. Just because for your set-up and phone usage it doesn't manifest itself as strong as for others that doesn't mean it isn't there.
It's a general bug in Android in combination with the SGSII so it's on your phone too.

worse for some (like me) where for whatever reason our phones wont go into deep sleep mode. not everyone has the problem though, so you might get lucky.
I don't even remember how good/bad life was back on bionix 1.3.1, but if you aren't at a desk job where you can charge your phone for a chunk of the day, you may not see 8 hours.

mic problem here, but no FC.
I dont know, been running it for two days, and have reflashed it twice and still have fc on launcher, and browser. Maybe it will smooth out this time. Maybe not.
From V7 and I upgraded to V8 and it is awesome!
Only issue I have is when I receive calls, other end cannot hear clearly(Mute/Unmute should work...)
And screen rotate is little slow from CM7 Gingerbread but no complain. I'm hoping it will be better and better with new version.
Only big problem I have is, my Samsung Original Desk Dock and Car Dock sound won't route. Oh, my battery charging indicate is not working sometime. It is charging but indicator won't show. Atleast it is charging...
So far I love Passion ICS v8!
I love this rom!!! but I hate having to deal with incoming calls, having to hit mute and unmute just to have my phone act like a phone. I hope this gets fixed on the next update.

Yes sir, I was reading in one of the i9000 ICS threads (can't remember which) where it was stated by the dev that GB bootloaders were needed for deep sleep, not just to get rid of rainbows.
Stability comes with updated phones meant for running the roms we keep chasing :-/
Yes you can say I'm in the wrong forum blah blah....but I have no interest in this phone and will eventually get another vibrant to run stock 2.2 I'm running 2.3.5 and its no better than 2.2 lol.

Decided to go back to Bionix 1.3.2 for now.
I love the whole ICS layout and it was zipping along when working.
The FC decreased with each update, but the mic issue forced me to switch back for now.
Mic issue affected me mostly when receiving calls. When this is fixed, I'll try it again.
I get Force Closes only on Gallery and sometimes my app menu will close but other than that have found no real problems..
I have noticed downloading seems to be a bit slower than CM7, but it's still fast enough for me.
The other little thing i've noticed is that it takes a little while to install apps... I don't know if thats to due with ICS on our phones, passion, or what... but again I can deal fine with that it's not a big deal.
As for battery, I came from CM7 so it had the GB Bootloader... but until I completely drained the battery, and charged it to 100% then recalibrated, killed it one more time then charged back to 100%..
So far I have 14 hours and 18 minutes on this charge, battery is still at 56%. Usage is light, web, messaging, phone calls, and I played one game of Drag Racing... My battery is from July 2010 so it's not a new battery either. \
Calibrating your battery really will make a difference.

Though the Android OS kept awake for a loooong time,
the battery does not drain so much
As I've posted in the other battery thread, I'm definitely seeing worse battery life running ICS. It's about 10% less than what I'm used to seeing by the end of the day, while maintaining about the same usage.
So, no one knows anything?
I'm at 10hrs with 31% battery left. As someone else wrote its about 10% more than normal at this time of the day for me. So not horrible but some improvement would be nice, its not enough for me to go back to GB. NS4G

I'm also assuming since this is 4.0.3, it already addressed bugs that were in .1 and .2 builds. I wouldn't expect a .4 anytime too soon.
But hopefully better battery life is among the improvements.
Myself
I had no problem with battery drain myself, but a really annoying bug - music was stopping itself withing 1-10 minutes after I`d started it. Wipe didn`t help. Sh*t!

he could have disabled all animations, force-closed processes, etc.
I have bluetooth running eight hours a day, streaming music for four to five of those to it, at least three to four hours of reading massive PDFs (textbooks), ppts, and word documents, WIFI on whenever available, etc.
I've gotten 10-13 hours without too many issues. The 10 was with a LOT of screen time, wifi or data running always, and bluetooth running always.
It also depends how you charge your battery. I make sure to fully charge my battery, and then run it into the GROUND (eg note powers off completely) before I plug it back in. Every time. You get maximum capacity that way, there's a name for this, but I can't remember what.
Anyway, battery 101. Kill processes, disable unneccesary services, use WIFI when you have it, disable everything you don't need, disable sync if you want/need to, disable gps, animations, and especially use minimal screentime. I don't see why the note wouldn't pull at least 36 hours if it was left in airplane mode the whole time.
Actually I was just watching movies and listening through bluetooth, thats why I don't have other processes eating my battery but I didn't do anything special..just straight 6 hours of watching movies using mobo player..
But I noticed that using mobile data to surf the net would drain my battery faster, so try to use wifi whenever available..
Everything about my setup is stock, only de-odexed to manually install my language..
Also noticed that when my phone left idleing, there will be Android OS drain in my battery usage, wigh "suspend" and "events0" showing in BetterBatteryStats but I still didn't figure out how to solve that..

I'm currently running 2.4.6 along with nyan colonel 4 but so far I'm not too pleased; I'm getting about 5-6 hours with medium use on a 1800 mAh battery.
Try turning off 3G (mobile data) when not in use. I was getting 6-7hrs w/ it on & now I can squeeze out 12-15hrs. However I left it alone it went 30 some odd hrs w/ only 30mins of screen time though.

Nuh uh, that's not gonna fly in this thread. I shouldn't have to be turning off my data to get any semblance of decent battery life. I really do want to get this to work though; I love MIUI. Unfortunately it seems the GB version will never be complete as everyone jumped ship to ICS and the ICS version is awesome but seems to get crap battery life even on 4.0.4
you dont HAVE to turn your data off....but if you wanna save some battery that is one of the best ways. if your phone is in your pocket and you dont need it, why have it on suckin juice....try juice defender, i use it with any rom i run and it helps...play with uv in nstools, just dont go too crazy with it.

Uh lol? He just gave you the best tip and you turned it down, you must not be interested in improving battery life, if you're constantly using data and have over 2hrs of screen time you're asking for crappy battery life, and unless you are always receiving important emails, you really don't have a reason to run it 24/7, if you're to lazy to turn it on and off, just use juicedefender, and it'll do it for you. You'll have to make some sort of sacrifice, whether it be monetary or personal. Phone usage is everything, get a bigger battery. Also, logging out of social networking apps when you aren't using them helps as well. I find I have very nice battery life on MIUIgb

I know that turning off data can save me battery life. That's not the point of this thread. I figured it was implied I was talking about different kernels and versions of MIUI V4, not the way I use my phone.
On that note, what's your setup with MIUI GB? I've been considering going back but I'm turned off by MMS STILL being broken
Sorry dude but that's the wrong question to ask. By now u should know that every phone is different if its what kernel to use & what setting to use this or that app than its simple trial and error. When we were still on froyo I couldn't use one of the very popular kernels bcuz it drained by better like crazy it took me a few weeks but I found the perfect setup to get good battery life. & sorry for misunderstanding your intention for this thread.

Alright.. well I misunderstood, it mighta been better to include that in op but it's whatever now lol, I'm using shadowkernel MIUI, and... 100-800Mhz governorndemand, schedular: Sio. And yes MMS has actually been a pain in the ass today for me, I'm considering going to AOKP again lol. I will apologize if I sounded rude in the previous post though, I didn't understand where you were coming from.

Is dropping down to 800 MHz noticeable as far as performance goes? Also is MMS the only problem you have with MIUI GB?
