only had my sg s2 monday so dont know what im on but im finding the whole phone awesome.
but the voice control keeps kicking in when i dont want it. I am starting at 7am with 100% battery and by 5pm when im home i have roughly about 45% is that about right. id say 1hours worth of net ect and a 1 hours of music playback. but neverending playing with the settings ect

Do you turn off bluetooth, update and wireless when not required, as I do? 
Placing the 'power control' shortcut on your front screen makes this easy and effective..................
Mind, my Samsung Galaxy Ace has gone very slow and flaky since Gingerbread - no memory methinks or a dodgy app hogging services.

Wonder if there's a further update to solve this? Hmmm, I might plug in my Galaxy Ace and see if there is.
I think HTCs UI was always in a different league from Samsungs wizz of whatever it's called. I preferred the slickness of my old Desire (though not the performance). My swype keyboard in email mode has suddenly taken on a life of it's own, which extremely annoying.
I think that's probably the last Gingerbread update for my Galaxy Ace. Shame, I used to have a Desire but wanted something a little bit smaller and had high hopes for the Samsung. Wonder is someone will buy me out my T-Mobile deal up to July 2012 for another phone?
I have similar feeling about the S2 Graham, it's painfully close to being perfect, but the small glcthes, the need to re-boot every other day to get the switch from wi-fi to mobile data. These things should *just happen* seamlessly. 95% of the time it works perfectly, and is fantastic; which makes a PC running windows more reliable....
i've actually found the stock task manager has helped with mine. You can free up RAM and I've also uninstalled lots of apps I didn't use.
Hi there and welcome to the forums. It's the stock task manager which should be just on the add widgets?
My Galaxy S2 I recently bought still has 2.3.4 Gingerbread. 'Over air' update says no updates available? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Bought off-plan or on a contract? If it's got a Phone company specific build on it you'll have to wait for the phone company to make the update available.
Graham_Thomas said:Contract. O2 - two years of this..........
Two years of what? They'll get round to it eventually. I'm on O2 as it happens but I got the upgrade through Carphone Warehouse and they only sell vanilla versions, no O2 specific OS's at all.
Carphone Warehouse for me too - so unless it's updated via Kies or they have withdrawn the 2.3.5? O2 is not a good a signal for me as my old T-Mobile where I use it (oop North, Durham area) hence my previous post.
I updated to 2.3.6 and the battery performance seems a bit better.
You could also try the (free) app - JuiceDefender, that seemed to work for me.
I think I read somewhere that ICS is due out for S2 around end March (not 100% sure)
