For me switching to 2G has helped my battery last 2-3 hours longer. I use a samsung galaxy s3 I9300. Was using 3G connection for the first two months and the battery would be over by 14-15 hours under normal-heavy usage. Switched to 2G data couple of months back and the battery life has improved by 2-3 hours.
My usage has always been the same with both 3G ...

In the API it is described that the battery percentage is calculated by dividing the current level with the maximum level.
This can be seen in the quote below.
This leads me to believe that BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL is either measured in Milli amps Hour (mAh) or a value between 0-100. This is a simple approach and not the answer that I hoped to find but ...

Thanking GAThrawn and Izzy for the feedback I also want to post two scripts in On.X's Javascript-like syntax
1st script: enable wifi only when home (inspired by a Microsoft script)
// Initializing variables
var action = "enter" /* arrive */;
var region = { name : "Home",latitude : XXXX,longitude : XXXX,location : XXXXX } ;
var action2 = "exit" /* leave ...

As a first look I'd say that you're experiencing the sudden death symptom, but it's hard to know for certain. Try to clean your battery connectors or try with a new battery.

Tasker is an app that can be used to automate changing settings on your device, based on various events like when you leave range of a wifi AP, or when you enter a geographic area.
You can have a look through the Tasker tag here for some idea of the jobs it can be used for, and how to configure it.

I can think of two reasons why a CM ROM might reduce battery life:
CPU governor:
The cpu governor controls the frequency of the CPU depending on the requirement. Your ROM might be using a governor that favours performance over battery life. Selecting a governor that achieves a good balance between performance & battery life might help you. You can ...

To answer your question, if you have cyanogen mod installed, no new aps just the rom and you use the phone exactly as you would youse it with your stock rom, yes cyanogen mod will take more battery but at the same time it is more light weight and faster.
So yes cyanogen mod does take up a bit more battery then a stock rom, at least from my experinece with ...

It Depends. yes, depends on your settings (Auto Brightness, Wifi Scan interval, GPS, Auto Sync Enabled) type of applications installed (Widgets and its high auto refresh rate) and many more (kernel wakelock) etc.
Just try to check what consumes your battery using better battery stats. From that you can identify, what causing battery drain.

Finally, I did a factory reset on my S2 and now the battery lasts the way it used to with ICS. ):

I accidentally downloaded the Push Service and, as I haven't a clue what it is for, I followed the instructions in this forum and it seems to have uninstalled. Possibly, I'm mistaken but it is worth a try.

I do research on Li-ion batteries.
Why batteries fade over time is still an issue that is unknown at the fundamental level.
What I can tell you is that there is a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) which forms upon the first charging cycle. This SEI protects the negative electrode but it is suggested that the SEI leads to fading over time.
If you fail ...

Fast answer:
Nes. Yo. Well, it all depends... on how you use your device.

Self-Experiment
I just did a self-experiment to find out. Until now, I had all my devices fixed to 2G -- as that should "save juice", like the question suggests. So for 4 days now, I have 3G enabled. Surprisingly: No difference which could not be explained by ...

Since your device is pretty new there is almost no way it is actually the battery (unless it is a defective battery). It is probably a rouge application. Try turning off your device and turning it back on. You should try to reboot your device at least once a week, it will clean up any memory leaks and will help keep system applications from crashing. If ...

Just wanted to thank Dean for his answer. "Google services" was draining my battery like crazy as well, and after turning off a bunch of Google account sync options - including "Sync internet" - my S3's battery life has noticeably improved. I now only sync email, calendar, and contacts. (I also outright disabled the Google Search app, though, which includes ...
