Help Need help with battery

First of all I would like to mention that I have searched this forum for an answer, but didn't find one.

Here is my problem: I have a 3 week old Galaxy S2 and its only problem is that sometimes it's consuming battery like hell. I noticed there are 2 phases. First it consumes just a bit, something like 10% in 6-7 hours, which is very good, but other times, even while staying on idle, it drains like 15%-20% per hour. This usually occurs after I use it (play games, navigate on the internet) and it doesn't stop until the battery dies. It's not just one application that causes it. I always make sure that all the applications are shut down correctly and I have also tried battery saving applications, but none work. I suspect there might be a process/service that is draining my battery that much, but I couldn't find out which one.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with such problems.


Also, I'm in search of an application that blocks auto-starting applications that run in background.
 
BetterBatteryStats is an app that can detect wakelogs. Those processes that keeps the phone from sleeping. Also, a lot of apps cause wakelogs is due to having internet connections, and OFF the data line usually prevents those intrusions.

Some apps like voice command also have problem shutting down properly. It starts up again on its own. You can try shutting the app, clearing ram, and last resort reboot the phone. Since upgraded to 2.3.6 though, it doesn't seem to happen. That said, I don't use voice command that much.

Cheers
