You only need to charge it to 100. Contrary to popular belief, there is no need to calibrate your battery. Trust me I'm a software developer.

Reduce the brightness and do not use Automatic, just set it in the lowest option.

Hey, I had an S2 myself, and it also has really bad battery life. I think the problem is that the battery is getting old. After a certain number of discharge cycles, the amount of charge the phone will hold changes drastically. I bought a new battery, and now the battery life is a lot better.
