I gave up and went back to my Nexus S 4G. This GS2 is not ready for prime time at all. From the loss of service issue to the wifi issue to the battery draining bugs, I would have a dead phone in 7 hours all without even touching it.
Big wonderful screen, lightweight, great to type on, speedy performance, but just too fussy.
Tried different roms and kernels, no luck.
Such a shame really. Maybe I got a dud (doubt it) or something but too much fussing with the phone just to eek out decent battery life is tiring.

I would say on average I get 14hrs on a charge vs a 7hr life on my EVO. So it doubled my battery life and this I am grateful for.

I have no wifi issues, leave it on all day. Super heavy use also and no loss of service ever in STL. Was worried about GPS issue, but there doesnt seem to be any. Mine locks immediately even in the basement.

I think you just got a bad one out of the batch. Best of luck.
