Phone lasted me from 10am to 8pm~ish

Im a pretty heavy user. Steady flow of texting/browsing web/emailing;
/music throughout that timespan. I say its comparable to the iPhone 4 battery life. 'Once a day charges' not 2-3x a day lol

Screen-on time is the thing that matters most when it comes to battery life.

Is there a way to get the exact amounts of screen-on time you guys are getting with the Galaxy S II?

Setting/about phone/battery use/display will give screen on time since last charge.
Thanks davv. Been with the iPhone for awhile so I forgot ;)

Screen on time is the main thing that people should be including in their battery reports in addition to the total time between going from 100 -> 0%...

Today:


Battery is at 48%
Phone has been on 8h 9m
Display 1h 7m (45% of consumption)

Edit: So I guess 1h 7m of display has used ~25% of the battery life.

Official battery

I've been hearing that the galaxy S2 battery from AT&T is proving to be pretty good. I don't know if you guys have heard about the official Samsung battery is supposed to be released any day now, if not there's a link.

With this at least you can carry a good extra battery when you know you're going somewhere and won't be near any AC.

Like dayv said that is for the international version. The 4 pins on each side of the battery cover will not even align because the AT&T version is longer.
