Since upgrading to ICS with my Galaxy S2, one of the changes is you can no longer disable "data background services".
When I bought my phone a couple of months ago I was told in the o2 shop to disable data background services to enhance the battery life. I did this and the battery lasted really well as I only enabled the service when I needed to.
This facility has now gone and I am finding my battery life really quite poor.
I don't use the mobile network for internet as have wifi at home and work so my phone is connected to that. I notice it must be doing things in the background as I get alerts for Facebook, Twitter etc so I presume it is working hard in the background and that is what using the battery.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can improve the battery life.
It is really annoying that this has gone with the upgrade as it certainly made a big difference.
Thanks
