Notes My bank's app Shazaam ConnectBot Google Wallet - with NFC, which I've yet to try out Dingbat - An app that sends your loved one's a message when your battery is going to die (Useful for making sure you connect before its too late)
I'm running a Samsung Galaxy S2 that I've rooted. Here's my most commonly used applications, all of which I recommend: * Smart Keyboard Pro: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.cdeguet.smartkeybo... -- Allows me to use a Dvorak keyboard on the phone, but even if you don't use Dvorak it's still a great purchase. It has a lot of options to make your typing more efficient that the stock keyboard doesn't have. * Th…
Google seems to have basically abandoned 'google listen'. After trying various programs, I've settled on BeyondPod. While it takes a while to configure and has some rough edges, it will automatically download new episodes and delete old ones.
It lets you set to only download when the phone is on wi-fi, or charging, or both (my personal preference).
The usual google stuff (Talk, Voice, Gmail, Maps, Translate)
Twitter, Facebook, G+
Foursquare
GroupMe (Can now be used for one-on-one messages too instead of SMS.)
OneBusAway
FareBot (My app. Check the balace of your Clipper/ORCA card. Requires NFC.)
TripIt
Shazam
Chrome to Phone
ROM Manager
Catch Notes
HotelTonight (awful awful app, but I got a good last-minute hotel deal with it)
Uber- Swype: I can't type on a mobile phone without this thing anymore.
- ConnectBot: For random times when I need to address an issue by SSHing into some servers.
- Evernote: I used to use the Google Docs app, but have since replaced it with Evernote for all my note taking. It has a native app for most if not all devices and works better IMO.
- Wunderlist: This is a recent addition that has replaced GTasks. It looks better, has a native app for all platforms. Unfortunately, Android version doesn't let you reorder tasks, but I'm willing to live with that since I'm near a computer all the time.
- Netflix: Great for roadtrips or longer drives. Unlimited data plans are awesome.
- Skype: For free video calls.
- Amazon Appstore: Free faily apps. Hit or miss, but some great stuff on certain days.
[Edit: formatting]
Epistle - a simple text editor which transparently syncs to Dropbox.
YATA! - my favorite timer app
Chordbot - really cool for trying out music ideas
d7 reader - No nonsense google reader client
UPnPlay - for playing audio/video off my NAS
MortPlayer Books - audiobook player
QuickPic - best gallery I've found
Pinboard - for saving bookmarks
...and games: GameBoid, psx4droid, Snes9x, UAE4Droid (all emulators), ScummVM, Wesnoth, Nethack, Xenowar...

Earlier quoted context omitted.
It lasts a little more than a day, regular usage, not too much gaming. I noticed that the latest 2.3.4 ROM really helped boost battery life. As a side note: Samsung has released an official 2000mAh battery for the SGS2. It's very reasonably priced here in Sweden, at less than 300 SEK.

Nice find! I'm still on 2.3.3 and it says there's no update available yet.
