[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
I have a Samsung Captivate and everything was running smooth on 2.3.3 until this past weekend. The only thing I did different was add the Facebook app. Even with Synching set to Never, my Android OS battery usage went from 2% to up to 30% or more. For those of you with high Android OS battery usage, do you have Facebook app installed? If so, for one day I suggest removing the facebook account from your Synch and Account under system settings. Just remove it completely and see if it makes a difference in your Android OS percentage under battery usage. Once I removed the facebook account entirely under synch settings (setting it to never sync I still had the problem) my Android OS usage is back to between 1 and 2 percent.

I am sure we all have different things running that may cause this but wanted to see if we all had something in common here. Even with it set to never synch, I was still getting facebook message notification in the notification bar which made me realize it was still sycnhing somehow - and as mentioned, it was the only app I added before the issue started happening. Post your results if any of you try this as I'm curious to see if its contributing to the problem. Its defintiely not a SGS2 issue and is across the board for many devices on GB
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
No Facebook for me, never used it.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Well that throws my theory right out the window. Thanks for confirming though as its good to try and narrow this down
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
No problem, I'm always glad to see new ideas.
[Galaxy S II General] voodoochild2008:
Just tried task manager, memory, clear memory.... Os use eent from 50 to 6......but it does not last, goes up to 21
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
After leaving my phone inactive for charging my Android OS drop to 5%. And I noticed that whenever I received an email it will jump up to 60% with Watchdog alerting me suspend and event/0 exceeding 30% threshold. I suspect Gmail is the culprit so I'm not going to sync my gmail account or any email account and see what happen.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
Something very strange just happened this morning, i noticed that my os usage was dropping slowly every hour, now it dropped down to 6%, but my display is using up 68% thats with it set to 0% and standard? whats going on ?

My OS was using 90% at one time now it drops to 6% and display is going nuts? i have no idea, i hope its the system learning my habits and calibrating, thats the only think i could think of.
[Galaxy S II General] dirran:
Gmail wasn't the culprit for me

I tried testing this on my phone but my Android OS only goes from about 6% CPU to 14% when i receive an email but then drops back down after that. This doesn't seem to be the culprit for me at least.

I'm getting about 15-30% of my 'Battery Usage' from Android OS.

I am also getting the Wifi Sharing bug but after i force close the service it seems to get better.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Deleted battery in 6 hours over night idle, 95% "android os"

This baby is going back, LG 2x has bad battery time, but this phone is a joke.
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
You need to remember that these percentages are not real time. You're not looking at what it's using now, you're looking at the percentage battery drain on that charge.

So if you've only been off charge for 5 minutes, and Android OS has been misbehaving the whole time, the percentage would say 100%. Later on, if it hasn't devoured any more battery, that will drop.

Does that make sense?
[Galaxy S II General] RHGilroy:
This might help someone.........My SGS2 was eating about 6-7% of Battery per Hour on Screen Off Idle........i.e. no Phone Calls, Texts, Internet Browsing or other Screen Based Activity..........but 1 off Exchange and 4 other Email Accounts on Push running in the background

I was still using my SGS1 as my main phone and thus minimizing real-world activity of Calls, Texts and Internet etc.........Over 2-3 days, I was getting about 15 hours of Battery Life before battery depletion.........obviously not good and certainly not enough for the phone to become my "main" phone

So, I charged and Re-booted phone.......went into "Running Services" and "Stopped" the following Services which were running

** Social Hub (seems like there are two different versions running)

** Wifi Sharing Manager

** Wifi Sharing

** Software Update

** Game Hub

** And several other running Services which IMHO did not need to be running

After stopping these services, I've now run for another 2 days.........Battery Usage is now down to about 1.5-2% per hour on Screen Off Idle

e.g. this translates into 37% Battery Remaining after 28 hours of "Uptime", including

** Screen on for 1 hr 37m

** 39 minutes of Phone Calls

** Push Email on 1 Exchange plus 4 other Accounts

** Some Browsing and Hotspot testing for about 20 minutes

** Live Wallpaper and several other Widgets running

Starting Wifi, Hotspot or Kies Air results in Wifi Sharing and Manager Services restarting........disabling Wifi or Hotspot does not turn them off........so Whenever I exit these, I re-enter Running Services (using a home screen short cut) and Stop both the Wifi Services

I'm now happy that I should be able to get about 20 hours of reasonably Heavy Phone Call (120 minutes per day), Internet, Texting and EMail activity and thus it will become my main phone........could be better, but enough to get by

I still think I will need to keep a constant eye on Running Services to disable any that I don't think I'm currently running

May or may not help someone........it's a super phone and better in every way than my previous SGS, HTC Desire, Desire HD, Iphone 4, HD2 etc.
[Galaxy S II General] beppez82:
New firmware released trough kies maybe it solve these?anyone can flash it and test with the screen off?

I can't connect to my PC for all the day and I'm rly hoping to see some improvement with these
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Battery indicator pro its giving me these stats:
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Just installed XEKE1 firmware from samfirmware. My Android OS now showing 3-5%. Big improvement but need a few more days to fully tested it.
[Galaxy S II General] cavinsoo:
Can you please tell us how long you had it running for? Thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
Last night I rebooted and charged, now today I'm 2hrs on battery and still at 96%! OS is only 14%. WTF? I'm so confused...
[Galaxy S II General] sohanlon07:
Yeah mine seems to be performing better today. Battery ran out and the phone shut down last night on me, did a full charge and things seem to be better
[Galaxy S II General] jonrwg:
Currently on 2hour mark. Will see how it perform till the next day or so.

Anyone on the new updated stock firmware? How is the Android os usage?
[Galaxy S II General] BoostedSR20:
Nope havent done a thing. Right now I'm at 90%, 3.5hrs and 14% OS. No clue how or why. Maybe there is hope yet.
[Galaxy S II General] slyydrr:
Sadly I see this going right back up. I have been running XEKE1 for a day now and with the fresh boot, my OS usage seemed to stay pretty low for the most part (10-15%) in a relative sense.

I charged my phone yesterday when I got home from work and took off with a full charge right before I went to bed. After waking up, Android OS is at 50%. Now I know that most people would say "but you haven't done anything else" as I even have said that to someone else, but looking at the Android OS usage details, it showed over 30 minutes of CPU usage. I still have my Nexus One (which is still carrying the charge from when I swapped phones, and its Android OS usage over a 4 day period is only 2 minutes of CPU usage.

Something is definitely buggy somewhere - there's no reason why 30 minutes of CPU should be used while the phone is not being touched for 7 hours straight. I'm going to hook up my phone to eclipse and monitor the logging on it while it's sleeping to see if I can't see what's filling up the logs the most.
[Galaxy S II General] Burko:
By clearing the data from the "software updates" package in the manage applications menu, my android OS usage is falling and falling. i'll add snapshots later.
[Galaxy S II General] slyydrr:
Interesting... Do you have Software Updates frozen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] inspire me:
Just wondering what is the best method to root a Samsung replenish. Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dangdang:
I'm wondering the same. I've tried using rageagainstthecage, gingerbreak and psneuter. The first makes the phone vibrate alot. The second just sits there and the third looks like it runs comlpetely but still no #. Anyone tried anything else?

Edit: z4root causes the constand vibrate. rageagainstthecage kills adb and adb will not recognize my device until I reboot the phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D3VIOUS:
have you guys figuered out how to root the replinish yet??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dangdang:
I'm still trying. I don't think anything out there right now is going to work without doing some coding and I'm not a coder. Anyone know what irc channels I can hit up for some tips on the android exploits used for rooting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dangdang:
This may help or not get closer to root.

To boot into Android Recovery Hold U down while powering on....or do 'adb reboot recovery' (requires android sdk tools)

If you hold down Q while powering on you get some verbose output instead of the first www.samsungmobile.com screen.

If you power down then hold Q while you plug in you charger you'll get some verbose output on right below the battery icon.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dangdang:
Bootloader appears to be Little Kernel based. Anyone have experience with that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] brett6781:
you guys think Gingerbreak might work?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freakb18c1:
bump ttt....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bigjohn_S:
More and more of these phones out there... anyone? They sold like 10 of them at the best buy store I work at today...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] freakb18c1:
I have my replenish rooted, here's the files.

Extract KMS.zip

Remove SD Card

run PrevailToExistence.bat

Done
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shabbypenguin:
KMS will root this phone, run the bat and follow the directions, after you unmount the sdcard and enable usb debugging its best to reboot the phone. seems to have teh highest success

http://www.holylivingfuck.com/Crap/Prevail/KMS.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] theevilmonkee:
I'm new to this, so let me see if I have this process down:

I hookup my Replenish to the PC without the SD card.

I transfer PrevailToExistence.bat to the device (where/which folder)?

I run the file within the device.

Is there anything else that needs to be done to root the device that most people would have already assumed to do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] PRBajista:
Unfortunately this did not work at all for me. I have the drivers correctly installed because if I put an SD card in, I can read/write to the sd card from my wife's replenish. I did remove the SD Card before trying this & USB Debugging was enabled. This is the screenshot of what came up. Also why is it that this says its for the Samsung Prevail? Does this batch file also work for the replenish? Anyway take a look at the screenshot & tell me what I did wrong because I followed the above instructions with no success.

UPDATE*** I ran the batch file & rebooted the phone when the batch file said "waiting for phone to reconnect" while it was rebooting, the batch file continued to run and failed........BUT, after it rebooted, I ran the batch file again never disconnecting the phone and I finally had success. Thank you for this method but more detailed instructions would have made this as easy as it really is. Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jeremy_nash:
I just tried your method, and was unsuccessful, I had my card unmounted, usb was in debug mode. maybe there was something else you had to do?

update: I pressed space to continue as I powered on my phone, and it worked fine, many thanks to everyone!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ch1pn3ss:
Worked on a coworkers Replenish, here's what I did to make it work:

0. Did not install drivers (I already have samsung captivate drivers and samsung transform drivers from rooting previous phones, so the phone was already recognized)

1.Unzipped KMS.zip on my computer.

2. Put phone into USB Debug mode. Plugged in USB cable.

3. (Phone is currently on) Removed SD card.

4. Ran bat file.

5. Received errors identical to those screencap'd by PRBajista above.

6. Powered phone off (left it plugged in).

7. Powered phone back on.

8. After the boot logo, but before the lock screen came up, I ran the bat file again.

9. Bat file ran sucessfully, phone rebooted by itself and was rooted.

I'm guessing the correct process for rooting this phone is to do exactly what I did (install drivers for step 0 if you don't have already), except skip step 4 and 5.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dribbs1:
seems very coordinated... what if I have bad reflexes? (in other words, no other way to root?)

D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Salpula:
Its pretty easy push the power button in thenphone and hit the spacebar about 5-10 seconds later
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] panamaniac:
Working on my Replenish too!

Yep, worked perfectly for my replenish too--I simply had to get the samsung drivers and then run the program right as the samsung logo came up after rebooting.

QUESTION: Anyone know how to UNROOT the Replenish?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuepengct:
Worked for me!

First try, very easy thanks for posting this!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Jimmyj71:
Good Point

I agree....I wont do a root until I know there is an unroot method that works. Anyone know of one?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] anjelliles:
Samsung Replenish root

I cannot seem to get my computer to recognize my Replenish - even though I have the other samsung drivers installed. Any advice?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jonnylbluejeans:
KMS worked until EF27

I rooted my Replenish with KMS on ED23. However, today when I received the EF27 update I lost root. Not only that, but KMS no longer worked to re-root it.

Is anyone else seeing the same thing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yoyo81:
I just updated mine and fear the same thing. Any work arounds?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jonnylbluejeans:
I haven't seen anything. I'm going to keep looking though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yoyo81:
Looks like someone over at androidcentral is working on it. Not much progress thus far, though, but I'll keep looking. Can't post links apparently...

forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-replenish/104189-ef27-update-3.html
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tfeger:
I got KMS to work again after ef27.

See if y'all can do it this way.

Turn on Debugging (don't know if it matters but mine was on from previous attempts.)

Cut off the phone.

Remove the SD.

Run Prevail and get it to the point where it says "daemon started sucessfully"

Now boot your phone. It should start running once it gets past a few boot screens.

Instead of failing at the orignal push, it should go through and you should see good things. and mine did the standard reboot after all was said and done.

Lemme know how it works for ya.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zewbie:
Yes sir this worked me me as well. Thanks:)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mwaites:
I lost root when I received the ef27, but was able to regain it. I noticed significantly better Barnacle tethering performance after ef27. Has anyone else noticed this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bdeffinger:
Detailed Instructions please

Sorry...some pieces missing for me. Can you walk me through? Where do I install drivers...and how do I run bat while rebooting?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zewbie:
First install the Android SDK from here:

[ developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ]

then run the bat on your PC with the phone connected via USB

Neighbor just brought over one of these phones for me to root and flash to another carrier.

I think I'll be trying this out later today/tonight.

Pretty neat 'little' phone she has. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] moriyaz:
did you root the replenish and manage to flash to another carrier?

a friend asked me if i could do it for them too, and flash to pp
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Cl8rs:
This is probably a dumb question but, do you think this can root the Xperia Play?

The Following Error Has Occured for my phone:

Go to the following website, srry I'm a new user so I cant post imgs.

ip-programs.webatu.com/Untitled.png

and before I got that error it just sat at it successfully started. I tried everything posted above, nothing worked.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shabbypenguin:
no this wont root any other phone. it was made for the prevail, just happened to be luck that it works on the replenish.

ip check that the drivers are installed and you have usb debugging enabled, adb isnt seeing the phone
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ip_programs:
I checked

I am using android sdk usb drivers

I have it in debug mode

It stays at the "* daemon started successfully *"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ip_programs:
I finnally got it to root!!!

Using the following drivers:

mediafire.com/?9a7v116166mr1lm

After installing them I ran the .bat file and plugged in my phone and it pause for about 5 secs. and then started spitting out a whole bunch of info then said "You should be root" & I was!

10-02-11 Unable to use Prevail on Replenish S:M580.06 x.EF27

I have successfully rooted my own HTC Shift 4G (the hard way, before a 1-click option was available). However, I have been trying variations of all of the above suggestions (even started the batch script at different stages of the boot sequence) in an attempt to root my wife's Replenish, and seem to keep bottoming out on the same line of the batch file:

adb.exe -d shell mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/stl12 /system

This command results in the following, followed by a bunch of copy failures since the remount fails and files can therefore not be written to the folder (su, busybox, etc):

mount: Operation not permitted

As mentioned, she is running Baseband version S:M580.06 x.EF27 on a Sprint network phone. I assume that means she is running the afore-mentioned update that kills root?

The following is the cmd output of the script being run for the KMS version 4.0 of the PrevailToExistence.bat:

http://xdaforums.com/album.php?albumid=4911&pictureid=15996

I do have the Android SDK installed on my computer, have tried this from both a Windows7 Pro 32-bit and 64-bit system with the same result. I have run the contents of the batch file line-by-line from the developer-tools folder (which is how I discovered the mount command is the problem).

I really just want to root this so that I can perform a Titanium backup, install Adfree, create a ROM backup, and remove the bloatware from an already over-crowded ROM. Can any body suggest a way to get this to work?:o
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] afreed1:
I removed the sd card before running the script.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superhtchd2:
not working on my wifes replenish?? tried everything that has been posted here, any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] superhtchd2:
the phone is also on the latest EF27, and ive downloaded the latest KMS 4.0.. still wont root this thing. sd card in or out, does the same thing .
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Griwka_od:
I just used KMS method on Replenish EF27 (SD removed, debbuging active) - rooted easily and successfully.

I have other question: After update to EF27 i noticed, that i do not recieve sms delivery reports. I tried to find a way to activate this function, but i do not have "delivery reports" in message settings menu! Has anyone such issue and maybe solution?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fineonline:
This worked for me as well. Just make sure you start the bat as soon as you start your phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gdawson:
I tried but my phone wont reboot it shows a screen like this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] TBUG:
I haven't had much luck either. I couldn't get any headroom with Windows 7-64bit so I tried XP-32bit and I now at least get some error messages. But I'm still confused. :confused:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vrvallejo:
Same errors here, seems no matter what combination of starting prevail.bat in tandem with powering up the phone - root not working

still hits the "mount: Operation not permitted" roadblock every time, I wonder if it has to do with the samsung drivers I am using? The ones I got are named "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86" and came in a 18.5 mb file. When I installed them they seemed to sucessfully recognize the phone. But when I attach the phone without the usb card and run the .bat at the suggested time there is an image of a hard drive with a red question mark.

Any sugestions?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] notsosmrtgeek:
did you guys have your phone in debugging mode? I know it sounds like a dumb question but some time we forget the simple things
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vrvallejo:
yes, have debugging mode on (have sucessfully rooted an optimus s so learned that lesson already.) I have noticed one thing though. In the error message it looks like prevail.bat is trying to write to system/xbin folder, looking at my file structure I have a bin folder but not an xbin folder. Seems too simplistic but maybe a lead? I tried to create a folder named "xbin" but was not able to with es explorer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] judoka209:
If you were to be able to root the Replenish, are there even any roms worth downloading? I can't imagine the support would be very high.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RJOent:
KMS Worked perfectly!

Just did this for my son's phone. KMS worked perfect! Just followed the simple instructions in the zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dreamwraith:
None of the above worked for me. However after googling around, I found a link to THIS: holylivingfuck.com/ACS/stuff/Root/Prevail-Replenish-NEW-OCR.zip

I was able to root my wife's replenish perfectly with this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] vrvallejo:
That worked like a charm. Didn't even have to remove my sd card or do any quirky reboot timing manuevers. Took about all of 30 seconds. Thanks for the tip. I had been using KMS to no avail and had basically given up rooting this phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] fieryfennix:
Still stuck

None of this has worked for me. Could be that though when connected and in debugging mode, I don't think the device knows it's in debugging mode. On my Optimus, when connected in debugging mode, there's a status message reflecting that in the status bar. On this device there is not. Like even though it's ticked on the page "debugging mode", it's not. Hence when running prevail, it doesn't find the phone. Any ideas?

:confused:
