I live off my charger, hes my bestfriend, yes i even gave it a gender.
I have settings saved too power saving mode after 70% and use minimum widgets and use 'task manager' to exit all apps reguarly

PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!
 
If you use the search option on this forum, you will find about a gazillion posts all relating to battery usage and the saving thereof.

I'm currently testing out Juice Defender (app) on my GS2 which basically shuts things off when the screen is not on, ie, your not using your phone.

More simply than that, I have my brightness of the display set to super low, almost off. I don't need it any higher than that and the saving on my battery just doing that alone was noticable.
 
Buy the Official battery extender kit, it is amazing, my battery lasts for nearly 3 days before I need to charge again, and that's with a little light gaming + web browsing. Even heavy gaming leaves me with plenty of juice left. On the stock battery I was charging it every night without fail.

My settings are important too:


  • Wi-fi turns off when the screen does.
  • Data + bluetooth remain off unless I manually turn them on.
  • Screen brightness is around 30% unless im outdoors, then I have to turn it up just so im able to see it!
  • I use NO power saving apps.
  • The 'physical' buttons are set to never light up.
  • I have maps, GPS and auto-sync disabled. My email is set to manual instead of 'push'.
  • No audiable tones when I press stuff
  • Motion is disabled
  • Screen time-out is 30 seconds.
