The battery on my Samsung Galaxy S2 started draining like crazy after installing Jelly Bean. I tried all types of Battery Savers, but it didn’t help.
Thanks to this post my battery life is back to normal (with the addition of a battery saver).
Thanks SO much for posting this.

I have done the factory reset on my GS2 after upgrading to ICS, however and for some weird reason, the only thing I cannot get to work is my gmail via POP or IMAP. Hotmail works fine, but not gmail over POP (its a work mail so no chance to use the gmail app). Has anyone seen something like this? All my config on the account are correct…but can’t seem to connect to the server. Thanks!

Haven’t read thru all the comments to see if this was already mentioned, but I’m having the battery problem with mine, as well as it randomly being off (not powering off, just suddenly BEING off). Anyway my searching has found that clearing the system cache before doing a factory reset can help. I’m about to try…

A few things to try:
1 Allow Play Store to update apps only when connected to wifi.
2 If you use secure Microsoft Exchange e-mail, don’t allow it to update automatically. I only update my Exchange e-mail manually.
3 Any program that syncs to the cloud, like Evernote, should only update when connected to wifi.

After limiting all the updating on my phone, the battery life has improved by several hours per day.

The method also reduces the hotness of the phone to some extent and now I can play HD games for a long time (about an hour or so)

yeah, it works..!
Every Month I do that,
get backup, reset the phone and dramatically battery becomes just like it was when you bought the phone.
It’s the best way rather than downloading various apps to improve battery which of course doesn’t work.

I actually removed my external SD card, deleted all my photos and thumbnails. And it is still a problem.

I’ve also tried adding empty .nomedia files to all of the accessible directories with media files (mostly cache files from other apps).

You can stop the media process (also known as Media Storage and its child process DRM Protected Content) by going Settings> Apps> All> and selecting the before-mentioned apps then hit the disable button.

Resetting to factory settings won’t remove the update, it will clear all settings, installed apps, customisation and put it back to the default settings for the current version of Android you have installed. From your description though it sounds like your phone has some more serious issues
