Just got it in the mail. I'll report back in a few days. They did actually claim to have replaced two parts and sent back the same unit.

On the plus side, once they got it, it only took them 3 days to fix it and they fedexed it back overnight.

-James
[Atrix 4G General] GuestK0050:
One day after the repair. About 10 phone calls, none were garbled or suffered low volume on the receivers end. So far.

I think I'm glad I sent it back to Motorola for an actual physical repair instead of risking getting a refurb from AT&T that might possibly suffer the same issue.

-James
[Atrix 4G General] androidfusion:
Hmm that's interesting. I have given up on getting new replacements after the 3rd showed the same problem. I may consider going the repair route.
[Atrix 4G General] Magoodigan:
yes, but on AT&T
[Atrix 4G General] bleuiko:
Is anyone else still having this issue? I haven't made enough phone calls to realize the problem until now. I'm running on CyanogenMod so I don't have the noise suppression feature to turn off. Would they still repair an unlocked phone? I've been making more calls lately and it is driving me nuts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byuju:
From rooted speedmod to unrooted non-custom kernel

Hi I have the international galaxy s.

I9000DTJP3

kernel version: hardcore speedmod k13c 500hz #24

build number: FROYO DTJP5

Firstly, I have rooted using Super One Click

And I changed my kernel after reading instructions from this forum.

I now want to undo what I've done and go back to the original phone

(and later maybe update to gingerbread)

I've spent a lot of time reading through this xda forum and finally I make my own thread and ask directly.. Sorry if this has been asked already but I searched almost everywhere.. Maybe its my lack of professional vocab.

1. I'm guessing to unroot, I just click 'Unroot' on Super One Click

but will this affect my speedmod?

2. I have the 3 Button Method installed but I don't know how to safely test if it works. Just do the 3 button combo and if it works, go back by simply taking off the batteries?

3. So if that worked all well.. I would have an unrooted speedmod phone.

How do I remove this speedmod?

Stock roms? I don't know what they mean.. is it the default firmware? do I have to flash it in? If I install that would that automatically replace my speedmod?

Thank you.. I would really really appreciate your help thank you..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orex:
haha! I`ve got similar question,

I`ve root my SGS using the One Click, did the 3 button fix, and to my surprise manage to flash the speedmod k13e 500.. currently this is my build *#1234#

I9000DXJPE

I9000DXJPB

I9000OLBJPA

a few days ago, i read doc`s kitchen rom and download the cooked rom with this configuration

*NEW* ZSJPK v11.1 WIPE

CSC : XME

Speed mode kernel

DXJPB Modem

2.2.1 jpj browser etc with tweaks, custom bootanimation and mod sound

so my question can I just use the recovery update.zip to install the rom?:confused:

p/s I`ve no idea what I`m doing but it look fun to mess around the phone so I`m a beginner that knows nothing but I could read if that matters :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameenor:
I dont know if it will effect the speedmod but if you just flash the stock rom I think it will replace it.. just imagine if you are going to change from one kernel to another or update to a newer version what will you do? just flash it and badaboom the new one will replace the old one.. so it is a similar process..

Just one question.. if you have the EXT4 lagfix you have to undo/disable that first am I right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profalbert:
To get back to original ROM, get your version from http://samfirmware.com.

If you used any lagfixes disable them before flashing (because the stock-kernel does not support ext4-partitions).

Flash the firmware (PDA, MODEM, CSC) with odin (repartition not ticked).

To verify the 3-button-combo works just power of your phone and then press "Home+Volume-down+Power", then it should enter download mode.

Few days ago I watched a video where an Nvidia employee was showing the capabilities of Tegra2 and was running Skype video on an Acer a500... of course I can't find the video for the life of me.. but anyways how the hell did they get it to work and we can't?

I use Skype a lot and it really sucks the only use of the front camera is to take a blurry picture of my self..

[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Yeah that was 3 months ago and still no video Skype. And now that Microsoft owns them don't expect it before they release it for the new Winblows phones.
[Acer Iconia A500] groaner:
it's not skype, but google talk from tab to desktop, and i assume tab-tab works for video chat using front facing camera.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
Then why does the nVidia guy constantly talk about Skype and their partnership with Skype while showing it off?

Uh, Skype video has been working just fine for me for a while now.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:

[Galaxy S II General] ninewise:
Switch Wifi sleep policy to "never sleep"

From the page for this issue on Google Code (others have linked to this page already but apparently no one here has bothered to actually read it):

code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15057

There appear to be two main causes of extreme battery consumption by the Android OS process.

#1 is the Wifi sleep policy of "wifi off when screen off", which is usually the default. If you haven't made a point of changing yours, it's probably still on this setting. In the Wifi settings page (where the SSID list is), press menu, then advanced, then Wifi sleep policy. Change it to "Never". A more blunt-force solution is to keep Wifi switched off all the time.

#2 is some combination of Google Latitude and location services (GPS and Wifi). This one seems to be less common and many people say it's definitely not the problem. It may be related to #1 in that a problem with the Wifi is causing location requests to fail, somehow causing extra processing.

And so on...

A poll to see whether these solutions work for everyone would be good. I probably can't make it because I just registered.

Disclaimer: I have ordered but not yet received my Galaxy S II. The info in this post is not my firsthand knowledge, just some quick research.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
These fixes wont cure it for sgs 2.
[Galaxy S II General] dan13l:
See attached. It's not the wifi policy.

I too will pledge $30 for a working fix once I've verified that the problem is solved.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Nice, i will update 1st post with all the findings so far.

"android os" bug is NOT:

Wifi bug (always on)

Maps bug

Any installed apps bug

Operator bug

Latitude bug
[Galaxy S II General] TML1504:
count me in with $30 as well :D
[Galaxy S II General] gtluis:
I had similar issue on SGS, my problem was because aparently I got a faulty modem file, I noticed my signal bar going up and down continously.

Has anyone tried changing modem?? I don't have a SGS2 so I don't really know if there are modems to choose from...

Good Luck Doc.
[Galaxy S II General] DocRambone:
Getting a good idea now, a first setup on 3g network (no wifi), avoid the dir 655 routers and you be fine.
[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
Wifi policy is set to "never" by default, so I can't see why it would help anyway.

That said with KE1 and a factory reset, although I have higher than would usually be expected AOS usage, my battery drain issue hasn't been all that bad - from a full charge today (7hr 15 on battery) to 83% with maybe 20 minutes angry birds, and the occasional checking of emails, texts and facebook and playing around with it a bit...

Screen on time 31 minutes... Android OS at 20% now and Wifi Sharing(!?) on 13%.

So not too bad, but it could be better IMHO - equates to about one and a half days of light use - definitely room for improvement.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
There are so many threads about battery so not sure which one I should post it but..

I saw some strange things in Logcat. I get alot of those errors :

E/lights ( 2701): write_int: path /sys/class/backlight/pwm-backlight/brightness, value 170

E/lights ( 2701): write_int: path /sys/class/leds/blue/brightness, value 0

I don't exactly know what the error means(well they are related to the menu and return backlight I think), but the E/ stands for error in case you didn't knew.

Do you guys get the same kind of errors in logcat?
[Galaxy S II General] floyd0815:
I've noticed 2 things:

If I wake it up, the cpu frequency doesn't go below 800mHz. (with only 4% load)

Only after I've started an app (not a widget etc.) it went down to 200.

(look at the "Temp+CPU V2" widget on the screenshot)

And the camera seems to run further if you don't go back out.

After a shot in school, I pressed the power button and at home, it felt VERY hot (front and back) and the battery level went down in 3% steps every 1-2 minutes.

But the camera wasn't listed in the battery stats, only Android OS, which was eating 70%.

Android OS Battery bug

Hi!

1. Install SystemPanelLite Task Manager from the market.

2. Run SystemPanel and open settings and check the "System processes" option. Close settings.

3. Scroll down in the process list until you find the process "android.process.media". If you have a CPU usage of more then 10-30s and the process usage gauge to the left moves up and down you probably have the Android OS battery bug.

At this point you can try the following;

- Shut down your phone. (Not just turn it of. The complete shut-down-power-off-thingy)

- Remove your external SD card.

- Start up your phone again.

- When the scan media is complete, do step 3 above again. If you don't see the problem at step 3 your SD card has a corrupt filesystem. And needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;

- Backup your data first!!!

- Settings -> SD card & phone storage

- Unmount SD card

- Format SD card

- Restore files from your backup.

If the problem persists your internal SD card might have a corrupt filesystem and needs to be reformated. Follow these steps;

- Backup your data first!!!

- Settings -> SD card & phone storage

- Format internal storage

- Restore files from your backup.

More details; What happens when you have a corrupt filesystem is that android.process.media tries to read a file but fails over and over again. The filesystem might not look corrupt to you. And you can read and write files on the SD card without problems. But at some point the android.process.media failes to read the files and loops like crazy, draining your battery.

I had a corrupt filesystem (FAT32) on my external SD card. I also had Android OS battery usage of 60-70% and a fast draining battery. I hope this can help others.

Best regards,

/Pontus
[Galaxy S II General] WeeJockMacFeegle:
My android.process.media is 27 secs. Is this in the acceptable range?
[Galaxy S II General] pontusbredin:
Hi!

It's a bit high I'd say. I've got like 2000+ photos and I'm at 9 s after a days use.

Take a look here;

Settings -> Applications -> Battery usage

If Android OS is above 50% then you should consider my suggestions.

Most importans, does your phone get hot and use a lot of battery without heavy use?

Removing your external SD card and rebooting your device isn't that much work. If that gets rid of your problems, then reformat your SD card.

FAT32 isn't the most robust filesystem.

Best regards,

/Pontus

[Galaxy S II General] spookyx:
what's causing the battery drain inside Android OS

After doing further investigations with watchdog, the Android OS battery drain is caused in stand-by by:

1. suspend (linux process)

2. events/0 (linux process)

They use heavily the processor while in standby... I've seen alert of up to 80% of CPU in both processes.

i am just wondering what exactly you did. by 10.4 do you mean the 2.3.3 perception beta that came out on the 10th of april or some other 10.4 version. if it was the perception 2 beta thats a 2.3.3 (or 2.3.4 cant remember) whereas speedmod kernal is for the original bootloaders and 2.1 and 2.2 you cant mix and match like that. and before you go and buy a jig from the guy above realize that your original 3 button combos arent the same as the ones from g12. try holding volume down the home soft key and power or volume up and power. if clock work (up and power) works then reflash g12 if download workd (android and shovel) plug it into computor and flash to stock using oden. if NONE of these things work buy the jug or buy a 301ohm resistor and build it yourself theres lots of tutorials
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Perception 10.4 is the most stable version of FroYo perception.

Installing that after running GB without reinstalling the 2.1/2.2 bootloaders will brick. But if you never installed GB, or installed the 2.1/2.2 bootloaders first then your problem is elsewhere.

What were you running before you installed perception + speedmod? I'm guessing GB ROM of some flavor. If not, then it shouldn't be a bootloader issue.

Sent from my Captivate running GR-12
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Does perception have a froyo sbl.bin? Otherwise just flashing a froyo rom will not result in a hard brick at all. Gingerbread bootloaders are backward compatible as long they both match ... So if perception doesn't have any bootloaders at all and not just the froyo secondary bootloader it should be fine to flash from gingerbread. As long as you flash it from cwm 2.5 because cwm3 doesn't seem to want overwrite the kernel, but that won't even cause a hard brick just a bootloop, so you could odin a kernel after that and be golden.

the only thing that will cause a hard brick is either a plane old bad write/disconnection while the bootloaders are flashing. Which means, are you ready for a jaw dropper? odin one click is just as dangerous as flashing gingerbread!!!

Or now that there are new bootloaders the mixing if primary of froyo and secondary of gingerbread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
DG has been known in the past to package sbl.bin's in his ROM's. I'd suspect a 2.1/2.2 sbl.bin was flashed with the 2.3 boot.bin. That will equal brick every time.
