Yes, you can check AOS by go to Setting > Applications> Battery usage and check if your Android OS are eating a lot percentage of your battery.

Many ppl suspect there is a bug if your AOS are rediculously high.

Many other ppl denied there is a bug in the AOS and say that it is misleading if you check using this way because the AOS percentage will be high if you leave your phobe idle with the screen off and it will gradually went down if you start using your phone.

Below was transcript by atinm (CM7 team member)

your battery lasts. What you need to do is run
something like CPUSpy and see how much your phone
goes into deep sleep.

I see... thanks alot...
Noticed that in CM7 there is one extra service called Android System, i dun think i see Android System in VillainROM... tongue.gif

I have no idea how some ppl's SGS2 can last for more than 48hours idle... sweat.gif
My phone battery will be empty within one day... tongue.gif

Waiting for VillainROM 2.1 lite... thumbup.gif

Eh, how is DarkyROM compare to VillainROM? i didn't flash to DarkyROM yet because they use different kernel...

My fren from SGS1 told me DarkyROM is very good for battery life... but the DarkyROM's ROM file size for SGS2is quite big around 300MB compared to CM7 only around 100MB...

I have kinda similar problem before. So I went to a mobile-phone store dealing with, well, mobile-phone stuff in low yat and he kinda fixed this problem. He said i had to 'activate' my phone for MMS through my operator (maxis), and he did this for me through his computer. After that i had to go into 'Settings ---> Wireless and network ---> Mobile networks ---> Use packet data( ENABLE )'

And there it was, i was able to recieve MMS pictures directly on screen on my phone, and my friends sudenly recieved all the messages i was trying to send them in the past ( i guess theese messages were kinda treated as MMS messages since they were so long/ big )

The downside of this was, 'Use packed data( ENABELED )' basically meant i would be able to get online through my operators wireless network, regardless of the lack of any other wireless connection. Forthermore, this would also mean thta if i accedentally acessed the internett, or if, for example, a weather application would auto uppdate it would use the operators wireless network, thus spending my money ( since using this feature for online services is not free ) rclxub.gif

how long does ur S2 last? mine is only for a day, the display ate up most of the batteries. any tips on how to maximize the battery working period? just switch on power saver mode once battery is 30%.

Make sure u completely power off ur phone. wait for 10-20 seconds. then plug in the jig. The download mode will start automatically without pressing anything in 3-5 seconds as I remembered. Good luck:-)

Just share my experience, I plug my jig during my phone is still on. The phone just went off and automatically went to downloading mode. I pull out the jig and reboot the phone normally. Everything done. No harm to my phone at all.

deactivate auto-brightness feature in the Settings menu and decrease the brightness slider right down.

or you could download the latest software update through kies or just flash others rom which helps to stabilise the auto-adjust effect and thus save you a bit of power.

oh yea, don't use live wallpaper tongue.gif haha

If you're on stock rom and using Accuweather.com and AP mobile as a screen widget, try go to its setting and disable it Auto refresh and auto scroll. Update it manually when you need it.

Might save you a little bit of juice :-P

I use app 'Green Power' from market. It controls my data interval for checking notifications on email, facebook, whatsapp txt, twitter, google+ etc.. i set it to online data every 5 minutes and it stays connected for 1 minute and turns off data automatically. It can control both data n wifi

Very useful app to save the battery juice
