Ok, but can you guarantee that i still have fun to use the Iphone after 10 minutes?

I have used an Iphone of a friend for some time and was bored to dead after after a while.
[Galaxy S II General] fracmo2000:
I find the battery life terrible...went to bed with 80% charge...6 hours later its down to 40% (no wifi...but 3g was on). Im still using touchwiz and the currenct widget doesnt work on my sgs2 (my hd2 would use 0-3 on standby)
[Galaxy S II General] gizmoy2k:
Using power tutor i found wifi sharing was munching the battery even with all wifi disabled, rooting tonight so i can freeze some apps
[Galaxy S II General] recklesslife:
I'm not saying go out and buy one.

Each to there own, I kept mine cause I enjoy the apps and the iPod features so no I don't find it boring at all.

Anyways back to battery life :)
[Galaxy S II General] recklesslife:
Something is eating your battery, download Battery Tutor and let it run and see what's doing it.

The battery monitor on the SGS2 is broke, doesn't show the apps like other androids do.
[Galaxy S II General] ihsubandos:
Over a day...

Got my sgs2 last week and am currently getting about 1 day 6 hours on average from the battery, and this is whit me using the phone far more than my previous handset.

Note I also use Settings Profiles to turn off data sync etc overnight :)
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Did a search but can not find anything that points to a title named 'Battery Tutor'.

Are you sure you have the correct name?

EDITED:

Is it PowerTutor by any chance?
[Galaxy S II General] recklesslife:
Yeah that's correct sorry.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
just reading about and came accross something about deodexed devices use less power, is this something i should read more in to? would it be good to deodex the s2?

Crucio_
[Galaxy S II General] fracmo2000:
Thanks for the suggestion, i will get that downloaded and see whats what. I cant for a vanilla build (but with some of the samsung goodies h/w acceleration etc)
[Galaxy S II General] recklesslife:
If you really want to go all out guys you could use a black wallpaper and turn auto brightness off and keep it low. You'll see your battery last longer that way.
[Galaxy S II General] subvertbeats:
Yeh, me too.

Id love to see something like Oxygen or DevNull on my SGS2.

With my Desire, with these roms I would typically use 1 to 2% per hour on idle with all sync services active, and overnight with airplane mode Id use max 1% over a 7 hour period.

During heavy use of course the drain would be higher, but nothing unreasonable.

With the SGS2, I put it in airplane mode when I went to bed last night, and 7 hours later, the batter y had diminished by 30%!

Still investigating the root cause here...
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Im having probs too, it seems to be my internet browser. If I leave it open it destroys my battery in no time...I mean, I'll loose 20% in half an hour.

Now I know the 3g eats battery, but the connection should be idle when the browser is in the background.

Basically I use my phone for work (I'm a field engineer) and I have a company webpage with job details on etc which I leave open for reference (it doesnt reload or refresh, once loaded thats it).

I did exactly the same thing on the Galaxy S, but for some reason if I do it on the S2 it wipes out my battery (almost as if the connection is on constantly).

Does this happen to anyone else?

Dont know whether to try a hard reset and see if it get any better, I disabled the social hub hoping it would help with the battery but it hasnt.

I also get high "android O/S" useage at around 30%, not sure if this is related to the internet browser but again on the galaxy S it was only about 2%.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
my top usage at this time 6hrs from turn on are my:

Display 26%

Android OS 19%

Cell standby 12%

Wi-Fi sharing 11%

my Wi-Fi is and has been turned off pretty much all day, so what is the Wi-Fi sharing part? is that something i can stop and still connect to my Wi-Fi at home/hotspots?

Also how much is the Android OS meant to take use ^^

Crucio_
[Galaxy S II General] darkalchemist:
No idea what wifi sharing is, I have the same issue on my sgs but it doesn't seem to do anything but idle in ram (which I can deal with as there's lots!).
[Galaxy S II General] daleski75:
For a dual core phone running at 1.2ghz with the spec list as impressive as this I am happy to get 1 day of battery life off of this phone.

Put on Juice Defender Plus anyway but not sure it's making any difference.
[Galaxy S II General] ma10:
Not sure if you've noticed yet but the browser has it's own brightness setting... maybe it's been set quite high by default?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
14 hours for me, still 75% battery life.

Seriously I think I won't need a battery mod to show the actual percentage number. Its safe. The battery can easily over a day (24hours) of power usage

<- for me that's browsing 2~3 hours on wi-fi/3G, 30~60mins video, 45mins MP3 music there and back from University. Full day everything auto-sync every 3 hours gmail, weather, etc.

Perfect for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Crucio_:
have you disabled anything? that seems more than what i have done today and 7hrs in from full charge i have 69%.
[Galaxy S II General] subvertbeats:
Power Tutor is reporting the browser as my second highest battery drain (system being the first). Liek you I havent actually been using the browser that much.
[Galaxy S II General] LBTaylor1984:
i can't see how you people are getting these figures.

I've been listening to mp3s for 2.5hrs and 1hr of ppulse news reader. from a fresh charge im now at 70% the what's left widget says i have a predicted 6hrs left. 9.5 hrs battery? that's pretty poor. brightness is on nothing, soft keys dark only... what have i not done. ps deleted Samsung apps and all social hubs.
[Galaxy S II General] krull75:
I want this phone. And the battery seams nice.
[Galaxy S II General] madpete:
Hmmm, something isnt right there. I may try a hard reset to see if its any better.

Browser brightness is set to auto by the way.
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
firmware

PDA I9100XWKDD

PHONE I9100XXKDH

CSC I9100XEUKD1
[Galaxy S II General] LBTaylor1984:
So your suggesting the ROM is the factor to these long battery times?
[Galaxy S II General] dk206:
No I'm just saying I'm really happy with battery performance the last two days I easily got over 24 hours everyday without need for charge.

On my SGS the maximum I could squeeze out was around 17~20hours.

So there is definitely an improvement even thought screen is bigger.
[Galaxy S II General] landerson07:
Hiya mate, what exactly have you done on your phone, i.e. what programs frozen/removed, extra ones to help battery installed, any settings changed etc etc

Lee
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Lee,

Don't forget no two users will use the phone the same, as such it is impossible to assume just because user 1 gets 24hrs user 2 will get the same.

It is habits which dictate how long your battery will last.

Granted some certain applications can and do interfere but these are only the eye candy in predicting results. :)
[Galaxy S II General] StickyGeko:
its my 1st full day with the sgs2, ran its factory charge down last night to 10% and fully charged it,

im currently on 17hrs 26mins im sitting at 17% left

display 61%

os 14%

cell standby 7%

internet 6%

android sys 4%

phone idle 4%

ive had phone signal in and out of gprs/3g/hsdpa, wifi on for half the duration (turn it off at work) screen has been on for 3hrs 33mins on auto setting, spent quite a bit on the net, ran speedtest a few times as people couldnt beleive i was hitting 3.5-4.5meg on o2 when their jesus phones could only hit 1-1.5meg sat next to mine lol, ive not really out it down since i got it.... except when i went to sleep and when ive been in meetings.... love this phone!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
just wondering, why is this thread a sticky? :)
[Galaxy S II General] dainesefreak:
Cos it's shiny and new and people are excited.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
i think mine at the moment is very poor,

im lucky to get 12 hours of low/mod use

display: 59%

android system: 11%

Android os:10%

stanby:4%

and 6 apps at: 2% each

i got 15 hours after first full charge

im on my second and its currently 12hours but will go anytime.

display on min it can go,i dont use wi-fi just 3g/H

so far not good hoping it will change abit.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Good or bad? It depend totally on how u have used the phone :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
havnt used it no way as far as first day and getting less,

even tho the first day i had screen on auto and today i had it on min possible.

im hoping it will change tbh, I did notice data roaming was on which im not sure what it is so maybe that useing some battery up, i also use 3g/h instead of wi-fi so maybe that eats more battery than wi-fi??? any1 clarify that
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
Anyone know of a good armband... thats not too expensive? I saw some on ebay for like $10 but they are all shipping from hongkong and i need it here fast since in going out of the country soon (three weeks) and i dnt wanna risk it dont get here before i leave...
[Vibrant Accessories] sahil04:
If you like the one for $10 go for it, shipping this day and age doesn't take too long. I ordered a extended battery for my vibrant from HK and it came in 10 days. You can email the seller and ask him/her how long it should take because it depends on how long it takes him/her to email it.
[Vibrant Accessories] jRi0T68:
The one from Arkon looks decent, and they're here in the US. www.arkon.com
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
does tmobile have armbands in the store? Planning to get one.
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
I dnt kno bout the store but i just got mine after searching and searching... feom cellphoneshop.net it was 8 + shipping came out to like 12 bucks... its not the prettiest but i think it shouldd do the job...
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
I'm seeing a lot online, but I still can't purchase online so I have to buy locally. But all I'm seeing are for stupid iPhones.
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
Yea i had the same problem every store seems to care more about iphones than any other phones
[Vibrant Accessories] lol Qaeda:
Free market, invisible hand, etc.

Terrible position we're in but them's the breaks.

Been looking for something to buy for my Vibrant... picked up an extended battery + covering earlier with some eBay bucks that were about to expire; think I'll look into an armband now too. I love the idea but the thought of things slipping scares the bejeezus out of me, haha.
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
hopefully T-Mobile have this, tired of holding my phone while running.
[Vibrant Accessories] pcfascist:
I use the spibelt for this. In fact I have for every cell phone I've owned. You'll have to add a dot com to this as I'm too new to post link or just search for it on your fav. search page.
[Vibrant Accessories] ladyjhova0928:
The Galaxy Armband

I have been looking for an armband also. Has anyone heard of or tried the Galaxy Armband? They're a company in MN. I like what I see, but didn't see any reviews about it or enough product info.
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
Got my armband yesterday and tried it today and is fantastic... it has great screen sensibility... so you can play with ur phone while its in there... it stays real secure on there while you are runing... the only con is that it doesn't include the extra pocket for the extra headphone wore... but thats cool i can live with that and i mean what the hell $7 for an armband its pretty cool...
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
where did you bought it?
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
Cellphoneshop.net under samsung vibrant 4g
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
do you guys think that the iPhone 3g armband would fit our phones?
[Vibrant Accessories] sgreene84:
Might try that out
[Vibrant Accessories] danalex0829:
it might fit but the screen portion might not be all visible since the screen is a bit bigger in our vibrants...
[Vibrant Accessories] iynfynity:
Just bought an armband for an iPhone, a little too small to our phones but still good.
[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
hi,

first of all, i want to say that i am not the developer or related by any means to this rom.

I just accidently came across this rom and wanted to share the link to u guys.

Updates-

12.05.2011- v1.85 available through Rom manager.

06.05.2011- Liquid nexusbread ver 1.8

http://liquidsmoothroms.com/node/1
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Been running this rom for several days and it's working flawlessly! Love all the options for changing color in the status/dropdown bar, etc. Not sure if these were implemented in CM7.0.2 or not. This rom is really nice, I happened across it on ROM Manager. Lot's of cool features/options and very fast.
[Nexus S Android Development] OuncE718:
I am downloading the rom as we speak. This is very exciting news!

EDIT: This is not the Liquid Metal Tom although I automatically assumed it was. This rom is very fast and the stock browser works almost flawlessly with flash content compared to other roms I've tried. I have my phone overclocked at 1440 Max with the performance governor and I am very impressed at how stable it is. The phone hasn't crashed yet! This might honestly be my daily driver.
[Nexus S Android Development] icase81:
I went to high school with the dev of this rom and it was originally made for my nexus s... until I swapped for a G2x. If you get a chance, send him some donations. He's unemployed and could use the support.
[Nexus S Android Development] dancedreamfly:
Is this based on CM7 too?
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Has all the goodies of CM7 and more.
[Nexus S Android Development] mprziv:
This is a really awesome rom. All of CM7 stuff, plus more. Definitely lots of good stuff here!
[Nexus S Android Development] damngood98:
why is this posted in a droid/verizon forum? it also seems awful tiny for a rom that supposed to offer as much as cm7.....it's nearly half the size:confused:
[Nexus S Android Development] drziddo:
Pics please

Can anyone post some pics?

Is this better than CM?
[Nexus S Android Development] icase81:
The dev had a Droid x and now has a thunderbolt. He made the rom for me but by the time he finished I exchanged my nexus s for a g2x. He's been doing roms for a long time now. Since the og Droid.
[Nexus S Android Development] Amritttt:
just got done with the CHANGES & CREDITS now i m gonna install it :D
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
I tried this a while ago. And it seemed nice. But it only had english as language. As i remember the download was only 57mb, so maybe the dev could ad the languages again. So this could be used.
[Nexus S Android Development] abumhmmd1:
THANKs

another GREAT ROM for Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] dingdonghei:
Will this rom receive any updates in the future?
[Nexus S Android Development] irishrally:
Sweet. Will have to try this out ... when I get my phone back from Samsung :(
[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
Ohhh.keep us posted about it.I am curious to know if they could solve the problem or if they just changed the MB.
[Nexus S Android Development] Jibreil:
This ROM has proven itself far superior to any i've used earlier. Its fluid fast with a exceptional battery life and so many options to mod the ROM.
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
The rom has been removed from Liquidsmoothroms.com. Maybe theres an update coming.
[Nexus S Android Development] nicknowsky:
there are NO gapps included, just a heads up. I believe it said the latest gapps were installed
[Nexus S Android Development] nicknowsky:
no its not, its still there 1.65 is still THERE for download
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
Not on liquid site.
[Nexus S Android Development] Fizwiz:
Its now 1.7 http://liquidsmoothroms.com/node/1
[Nexus S Android Development] dinan:
Except that says "ROM & KERNELS FOR ORIGINAL MOTODROID ONLY!!!"
[Nexus S Android Development] jentech:
It's still available here; http://www.droidforums.net/forum/liquid/142449-liquid-nexusbread-v1-65-rom-release.html
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
Yes, i know 1.65 is still available from there. The point is it was on liquid site for download also, but has been removed. Now there is only Thunderbolt rom and one could Gingerbread, there was builds for i think 4 or 5 diffrent devices when i downloaded 1.65.
[Nexus S Android Development] nicknowsky:
there is NO no Liquid ROM for us, that 1.7 is for wahtever DROID he normally devs for. Two different names Nexusbread and Liquid Gingerbread

Apparently Nexusbread 1.65 was a special favor for a friend, but I bet if we ask the DEV he might continue work on it. Personally I love it. Although I'm having a hard time flashing a GAPPS zip, otherwise its really a great ROM

What are you talking about? Theres a Vending.apk in the build, just download what ever gapps you want
[Nexus S Android Development] Ultraman666:
Tried this rom for a couple of days now and its pretty quick and stable, like all the tweaks.

Anyone try the themes yet??
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
Sorry guys, there will be no updates for this rom. This is a one and only. I fno one donates a Nexus S for him. just follow the download link in OP and scroll down. There it is, the bitter truth
[Nexus S Android Development] Ultraman666:
To bad I know its hard to test without the phone, this is by far the fastest and stable rom I have tried
[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
Real shame. One of the best roms for the nexus.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ultraman666:
I do have one question tho.....Anyone having issues with the speaker volume being very low, even tweaked it with dspmanager and its still very week. Any ideas. Other than that I LOVE this rom!!
[Nexus S Android Development] dinan:
I've tried this rom briefly... I don't see how it's any faster than any other CM based ROM? What features does this ROM have that actually would make it faster?
[Nexus S Android Development] peeturr:
Honestly, if you guys really like this then you'll like UD rom for the nexus s, which is still supported. It has all the features of liquid rom minus the volume rocker wake feature, but there are features that it has that liquid doesn't have either.
[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
It does not have an option for wireless hotspot tethering. The settings only seem to be available for USB tethering.
[Nexus S Android Development] docsamsom:
Just tried it out. You are right....pretty good rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] MrSvedberg:
1.8 can now be downloaded from Rom mananger and his homepage!
[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
Thanks.

i updated post #1
[Nexus S Android Development] harekris:
Stuck in google logo

I have just wiped everything and install 1.8 unfortunately it doesn't boot up. Just stuck up in google logo ? Any Solution ?
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Nice, didn't think we were gonna get any updates for this Rom, gonna DL 1.8 right now; last one was pretty sweet! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] harekris:
Its nice but I think it has some problem

Yh I know last one was really good. Be careful and leeme know if you will boot up smoothly because I was stuck with google logo
[Nexus S Android Development] damngood98:
didn't think this was meant for the nexus s? hmmm....web page makes it look like otherwise though....idk?

how's the original one run? i was gonna try this and ended up going with the ud rom that was mentioned in a previous post. it's not bad but still has the random reboots. don't really think it's any better or worse than a typical cm rom.
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Mine booted fine, google sign for 5-10 seconds then liquid boot images. 1.8 running very smooth, love the new icons in status bar. Haven't run into any issues yet, smooth and fast!
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Liquid Nexusbread is specifically for Nexus S only. Liquid gingerbread, etc., are for other phones. Try 1.8, it's great :) Love how you can customize all the text colors (same in version 1.65). Flash and enjoy!
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
The latest build 1.8 is running smooth so far, but some parts of the themeing is awfull. And we need some more languages
[Nexus S Android Development] jcrompton:
Any idea which Netarchy kernel works with this ROM?
[Nexus S Android Development] bajansurfer:

Do you know 1.85 is up on ROM Manager!
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Nice, can't try it out the moment but this is a promising rom (tried 1.65 and 1.8)... glad to see the dev seems to be updating it... anyone who trys out 1.85, please leave comments... how is it, what kernel, etc. Thanks!
[Nexus S Android Development] deeren:
Thanks guys. I edited the first post for other users.

Btw has anyone tried to shoot the dev a pm to know why he doesn't post on xda?
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
There's a major bug with USB mount... sometimes it works, some time it isn't.. am I the only one?
[Nexus S Android Development] jentech:
I had the same issue. Tried a different kernel, but no luck.
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
1.85 right? was 1.8 good?
[Nexus S Android Development] nickwarn:
Also it has the no ringsound issue when reciving calls after a while just like CM7 had.
[Nexus S Android Development] jentech:
I think 1.65 was better. 1.8 didn't seem to be that smooth on my phone.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ultraman666:
Its very smooth, I have better battery life and no issues, a very nice rom. Hit up the developer of the rom and he said he didnt even know about this thread, but now that he does he will start posting here as well!!!!
[Nexus S Android Development] Kingken:
PROBLEM Solved.... struck at google screen but go into cwm n flash back stock rom..
[Nexus S Android Development] roshga:
tried both 1.85 and 1.8 and i get the same problem:

USB mount works well at first. after a reboot, it doesnt work at all... I do have the usb icon in the status bar, but pressing on the notification so the USB will mount doesnt bring up the mount/unmount screen..

any solution?
[Nexus S Android Development] liquid0624:
Hey everyone whats up working on a update for ya guys hold tight :)
[Nexus S Android Development] JmPTaz09:
Love the color changer part of your rom, you seem to be the only dev that's incorporated that into an NS rom... props for that, love customizing my colors!

Would be great if you release your next version with a kernel w/voodoo baked in.
