Now that my S2 sits in my drawer I've been testing standby times.
With CM11 I'm getting some nice standby, I do have apps that wake the device for notifications (E.g. FB, Twitter, Tapatalk, ect.)
4 days is not bad though
My daughters S plus can go about a week in flight mode. Also on cm

It is only for games so does not even count as a phone.

I have not been on this thread for a while as my S2 has been passed on to my Dad.
The wi-fi stopped working and after a factory reset and the latest ROM upgrade it still does not work, I took it to a repair shop where they tried a new wi-fi chip but that did also not work.
I am back to thinking that it must be a software error.
What is the best firmware and kernel to install currently? (The phone is rooted)

Unless you've already flashed a kitkat rom. From what I understand, once you go kitkat you can't go back. Or not easily in any case.

Nope... I had CM in there and promptly returned to NeatROM.

nah, looks like the issue has been solved since I made the jump months ago... don't stay up to date with these things as much anymore.
Shouldn't be a problem with a full wipe

Anyone know where the best spot is to buy a new S2 battery?
Bought one from bidorbuy the other day and its starting to swell.

Friend of mine bought one from Cellclinic. Service was good, and they sell the original bettery for R400.
