Default Galaxy S2 - 4.0.3

I've upgraded my GS2 to 4.0.3 and now the battery life is shocking.

Previously I could charge my phone before bed (100%) and when I wake up, it would be 98%, however, since updating to 4.0.3 it was reduced to 36% after it was fully charged.

Anyone point me in the direction of some help?

Cheers

Si

Once more you have not upgraded you have installed a leaked buggy beta test rom .

be patient as its still in beta. That said, I actually find my battery life slightly better with ICS(westcrip's ressurection). Try doing a factory reset and install again-might do the trick.

Ahh cheers, I'm new to all this so probably should have done a bit more homework. OK then, my question now is, how do I revert back to 2.3.5 from 4.0.3?

I've looked and even attempted it but I get lots of force closes. Let me know if you need more information about my phone. And sorry for the stupidity and n00b questions.

Cheers

Tried ICS and had same situation as you. It seems that my problem was K9 with IMAP. The battery drain was horrendous.
I run back to 2.3.6.

Waiting for the final release or next ICS beta.

To go back is easy.

factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik. reinstall 2.3.6. rom, redo reset, wipe

You will be a happier man

Thanks for the info, only I am a little new to this and the above has confused me lol.

So, factory reset (I know how to do)
Wipe Cache - erm
dalVik - again, not sure what this means
Reinstall 2.3.6 - where do I get the correct ROM?

Again, sorry for sounding like an idiot but I really wanna get this sorted and you have to start somewhere!

Cheers
