No, did not root yet, but need to root because I need to disable one of the system apps (Voice Command) and the only way to block it is to root the device.

Battery life is dependent on what communications services are running (WiFi, GPRS, GPS, Bluetooth) and what apps are running and how the display is configured. So, I don't think for a phone packed with features it is fair to say "the battery is very bad" because battery life depends on how the device is used - more features, less life, this is true of all devices, given all things equal.

I used to have a basic Nokia phone, great battery life because it did very little.... it was a basic phone. The Galaxy S II is a powerhouse computer, which also happens to be a phone too. It has a 4.3 inch amazing display and of course, this on any phone will use a lot of battery life.

A brick uses no power, so it gets great battery life.... but I don't carry one around in my pocket, IFKWIM.

BATTERY-STATS(5)						File Formats Manual						  BATTERY-STATS(5)

NAME
battery-stats - collected battery statistics DESCRIPTION
The battery-stats contains statistics about battery charge over time, as collected by the battery-stats-collector (8) daemon. FORMAT
Each line in the file represents one sample and is of the form: <seconds> <charge%> <powermode> <UTC-date> <UTC-time> separated by spaces and terminated by a newline. Where: seconds is the number of seconds since 1st Jan 1970 00:00:00 UTC charge% is the battery charge a number between 0 and 100 powermode indicates the power mode: 0 A/C off 1 On battery 2 On backup power UTC-date a human-readable date in the format YYYY/MM/DD. Note that this is in UTC, not the local or system timezone. UTC-time a human-readable time in the format HH:MM:SS (using a 24-hour clock). Note that this is in UTC, not the local or system timezone. minutes-left is the BIOS estimate of how many minutes of running time the battery would provide. This may be unreliable, depending on the BIOS through which it was collected. EXAMPLE
A battery under charge might result in the following samples: 1032651245 27 1 2002/09/21 23:34:05 94 1032651275 28 1 2002/09/21 23:34:35 97 1032651305 29 1 2002/09/21 23:35:05 100 1032651335 30 1 2002/09/21 23:35:35 103 1032651365 30 1 2002/09/21 23:36:05 106 FILES
The default set-up is to save battery statistics in /var/log and rotate the logs weekly, which results in this set of files: /var/log/battery-stats - current (most recent) statistics /var/log/battery-stats.[0-9]+ - less recent statistics /var/log/battery-stats.[0-9]+.gz - ancient statistics SEE ALSO
