Haha after using my phone this morning, seem to have some promising 'projected' results. Currently at 75% battery after 6hrs, with 1hr32 screen time, so that should be 6hrs screen time over 24hours, which is much better than previous kernels/roms. Shame the latest Hydrogenics (27/04) comes with Netchips Kernel that doesn't have Lulzactive. Found some good results with the app from the market.

I downloaded that program and the firmware it recommended, but kies was saying it was not able to upgrade it
I tried another f/w from xda-forums and it isn't even listing it's firmware in kies.....
gahhhh
I had that problem too. But the Generic XEU version of XWKE7 on the xda-forum worked fine.
This is what was on my phone when i flashed a custom rom for the first time, only reason i didn't go with it straight away was because the download was so slow, took about 2 hours
Updated to LP7 via Kies just fine.

Using Sensation 3.4 rom, battery on that is pretty good. Yesterday i managed 15 hours between charging, with 1 hour 50 minutes screen on time at 50% brightness, and still had 60% battery left. Also had music on for about half an hour whilest driving without the screen on.
Screen on time was probably half browsing the net, the rest games, facebook, emails, and text.
I was connected to wifi for about 12 hours though as i pretty much spent the entire day in the house due to the weather.

Anyone got a bluetooth keyboard and mouse working with their phone? Can anyone recommend a good one for it?
I've spent 2 days looking and i'm no closer as their are so many mixed messages on the interweb
In fact, they're both for sale right now.

Why do people never post the most important screen for battery life?
Screen on time and brightness
Was thinking this myself, will do screenshots of everything when I get to the 3hr screen on mark, not far off.
Also have to say the maturity of roms/kernels is awesome, used my phone as a sat navigation yesterday for about hr and 1/2 that would have practically killed my old iPhone 3gs and on the old 2.3.5 roms on this gs2 would have taken a hefty chunk probably about 60%, but 35% for the whole journey. Obviously GPS, data and screen on, crazy results in my opinion.
