[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powell730:
I personally replace the battery images only. I was in total shock when I first started but now I can do it within minutes.. The one thing I don't know how to do is edit the xml files which you have to do in order for the icons to display properly. So in other words the stock battery only has 5 or 6 images but if you use a rom or theme that has a % (which I hate) it would have 101 images I believe.. so what I do is pull the xml/image files from a stock theme and place them in the rom I want. I'm not sure how to replace signal bars but pm me if you need help with battery.

It sounds way harder than it is :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
i'm running the bionix 2 rom and the compatible ext4 kernel, but when I benchmark it on smartbench 2011, It seems like only 1 core is being used because I get a 1300-1500 productivity score. I flash back to stock, stock bionix, or stock EB and the scores go back to normal (around 3000 productivity). What is going on?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
maybe u got a bad download? when dl kernel?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
I downloaded it last night, then redownloaded today, same problem. I actually got normal scores like twice in the beginning, but after that it just seems like only 1 core is being used.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
Clear cache and dalvik cache in clockwork and see if that helps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xdmds:
also did that each time. I don't think it's just me. People are running quadrant and getting much higher scores(including me). But if you look at the scores for each individual category. You will notice that the only thing that is higher is the I/O due to ext4. the I/O score is so heavily inflated, that the overall quadrant score goes up while some other things are going down. I don't know why everyone relies so heavily on quadrant but it's so inaccurate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
True that. I hate it when websites run quadrant in their reviews. Specially when the app hasn't even been updated for dual core phones
[Galaxy S II General] rengift:
actually, i still dont understand how it works. days before, i keep.complaining the bad battery, it drops 15% after one night. i turned my wifi and 3g off, it didnt work. i opened a thread to complain about this, some friend advise me to use the juice defender which really help a lot. now it use only 3 to 4% for 8 hours standby, which is much much better than before. if u are also troubled by ur battery, give it a shot. it's free from the market.

my set: all enable except for the location.
[Galaxy S II General] AmesCell:
What does it shut off? Seems like it has to be something important to work. I want my email in real-time; does it mess with that?
[Galaxy S II General] p3t0r:
I installed this only a few hours ago. yet to see any significant change. By the looks of it, having it on the default setting will turn data off when your screen is off, but I still get e-mail notifications in my 1hr check intervals even when my phone is sleeping.
[Galaxy S II General] BlueScreenJunky:
The main feature is that it disables data most of the time (2g, 3G or wifi) and only enables it at preset intervals, like 2 minutes every 30 minutes to get your e-mails and stuff.

So basically what you lose is push / real time notifications.

It can also manage the screen brightness and CPU clock more precisely, put the phone in plane mode while you're sleeping (for example you can tell Juice defender to go in plane mode from 23:30 to 6:30 every day, except if you're still using your phone after 23:30 or start using it before 6:30), or activate wifi only when you're in a specific location.
[Galaxy S II General] N-C:
Does anybody have issues receiving MMS picture messages with JD or any other power saving app running?

I had 'Green Power' running yesterday. A few people sent me pics which came through as blank. Stopped the app and asked them to resend and it worked.

Thanks

[Galaxy S II General] aehmkei:
I tried this app too, but the battery draining when WiFi was enabled was higher than without JuiceDefender. Still trying to get through all the JD settings...
[Galaxy S II General] BoogWeed:
I dont think Juice Defender would work well for me as I use Whats App a lot... :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] CheesyNutz:
I use it on my ego. One of the best apps i bought

from my phone duh
[Galaxy S II General] xiga:
Is anyone else able to toggle the 2G/3G setting? I've paid for the Ultimate Pack (wish i hadn't now as the Plus pack is supposed to do this) but apparently JD doesn't like my ROM, the Log says: 'ROM is not compatible with AOSP helper (3G control is unavailable) - get CyanogenMod ;)

Out of interest i was on a UK O2 branded phone so i flashed XEU KW7, then rooted, then put back the original KE7 kernel. I wonder if that's the problem?
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
I was messing with Juice defender, but I found the app called Battery Booster to be much, much more effective. I went from a 12 hour battery, to having between 24 and 28 hours the last 3 charges. Simply amazing, more than doubled my battery life. Using perhaps 1-2% per hour when sleeping.
[Galaxy S II General] NIK516:
1-2% per hour when sleeping is not that good, i get 3% in 8 hours when sleeping.

But juice defender does what should be built into the gingerbread and that is, it puts your wifi and 3g to sleep when your screen is off or when you are not using it.

I personaly dont use push notifications so loosing that doesnt bother me, what bothers me is when the phone is in sleep it drains because i have wifi on.

I dont want to be turning wifi on and off all the time, i want it to be automatic, when i go on the web or open an app that uses data it should turn on my wifi.

SO YES JUICE DEFENDER DOES ROCK.
[Galaxy S II General] Cernunnoz:
Well, before battery booster it used 5 - 8% per hour sleeping, so I'm pretty darn happy with the results I'm getting now. It used to last me about 12 hours. Now it lasts usually over 24 hours, which is great. That is included with 3-4 hours of screen-on time. Android OS also dropped by 20% after getting battery booster.
[Galaxy S II General] DelLoce:
You do know there's a setting for turning of WiFi when screen is off, right?

Settings - WiFi - Advanced - Wifi Sleep Policy
[Galaxy S II General] shanume:
If u using juice defender ultimate will boost battery more :)
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:

[Galaxy S II General] alexleon:
no problem at all with push services.

the way juice def works is simple: it geolocalizes ur wifi router, and moving out the area of wifi, jd switches off wifi hardware until u come back home\office. it does the same with other hardware modules not in use.

wot doesnt work: ebuddy or other istant massaging apps while screen is off (I think it's unuseful to use jd with IM-draining batt-apps)
[Galaxy S II General] Ayers976:
Hmm, am I doing something wrong leaving my phone charging overnight? Will that kill my battery?

When do you guys charge the phone if not overnight?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
24 hours in a day so i charge when it needs a charge 20% left or when i know i want extended use .

[Galaxy S II General] Pyrone89:
I just installed Battery Booster. Juice Defender didn't do much for me but annoy me.

Now see how this app will hold itself.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Very similar to my finding with ATK (link below). Something happened in Gingerbread with how the OS handles cached apps... to the point where some cached apps stay active and keep your device awake!

[Galaxy S II General] Eclypz:
I tried Juice Defender and similar products, and IMO, it defeats the whole point of me switching to a smart phone to begin with. I understand different people have different needs, but I wanted push email and my chat programs to get instant notifications (push).

With Juice defender, it essentially shuts off data while the screen is off, leaving me only with phone calls and text messages until I wake my phone. This is no different than back when I had my old Sony Ericsson W810 from 2006.
[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
+1 i agree to this.

use juice defender and disable all data and 3g network. when i know i wont get access to a power point in 24h or more from leaving the house. (highly unlikely)
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
you are fine charging it while you sleep. i just leave mine unplugged to test the battery idle and night is a good time to do it.
[Galaxy S II General] s2dh:
can anyone who uses Juice Defender ultimate post the settings they use, because I have this and there are so many different options and my battery seems to die quicker now than before it was installed..???

I tried custom and also advancedand tried a few of the advanced/custom options but when I switched off the wi-fi it seemed to switch back on when it was not needed, so I think I need some help on what people have switched on and off etc ?

If anyone knows the optimal setting could you help me, or should I just stick to one of the defaul presets (aggressive/balanced or extreme)..?
[Galaxy S II General] Akagi Shigeru:
I will have a try

Thanks! I bought JD Ultimate long time ago, haha
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Guys please guide me on JD Ultimate,

I had a good overnight sleep with JD Ultimate yesterday, but last night it didn't work out. I had set Nigh time period from 1 am to 9-30 am. On the first day, or night should I say, it worked, I checked under the JD log that Night Mode is activated and deactivated at 9-29 am, but last night it didn't work, I checked log and it says, Night Mode Skipped! What is that and why? On the first night the Awake and Screen On bar was synchronized well, but last night there was again a small solid Awake bar was present while the Screen was Off. And that caused 5% drain last night compared to NO battery drain of the previous night. What kept running? I don't know!

I am on Customize Profile, with settings like this,

Mobile data- Enabled

WiFi- Enabled, Options: WiFi preferred

Location- Enabled

Schedule- Disabled

Night- Enabled (1 am to 9-30 am)

Apps- Disabled

and on the Status page, I disabled both Quick Enable and Quick Disable, so there is no more Enable/Disable option on drop down Status Bar but it only shows User/Screen- x1.30. May I know what this Quick Enable or Disable do?

And please guide me the optimal settings, what wrong am I doing with Customize profile and what need to be done? My purpose is to save battery on nighttime especially, thus a well synchronized Awake and Screen On bar. So what setting should I use?

Will look forward to you response eagerly.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] svj1187:
I aint using this app. But seriously, i used to keep my data active all the time, and with moderate usage ie gaming, voice calls, push mail notifications i used to get around 12-14 hours. But yesterday night, i deactivated my data before sleeping and in the morning i see just 4% drain. All bluetooth,wifi,gps were obviously off.

Deactivating the data works for me for standby.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Anyone?

Well currently I am on Extreme Preset as I am not very comfortable with the Customize and Advanced ones, one thing I have to ask, if I Turn On Wi-Fi manually will this preset automatically switch/force it to off if I don't turn it Off manually? Cause in Full Log under JD I can see that Wi-Fi is turned off automatically! And also what is the meaning of the message in Notification bar saying- Tap to Enable conn/User and Disable conn/User/Notification?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
Can't say i have had to use this yet,i keep being tempted just to squeeze that little bit more juice from the battery,is this worth it even if you get decent battery life already?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
It is worth as long as the A-OS bug, very crappy bug is there, even you have the best battery life ;)

And my query was to the OP, who had experience in JD, hope is is looking at his own post.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] chestvrg:
I don't know why you guys are using juice defender on the galaxy SII? Since it has such a great battery life I mean a great battery life. Why would you ruin the device's standby using juice defender? What type of programs are you using that they are killing your SGII's battery?
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
I have to say, I read this thread and then I've spent £4.99 in this little rubbish named Juice Defender Ultimate. This f***ing s**t keeps my display blinking (2 seconds off, 2 seconds on). THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!! It seems that every time that ANYTHING is running in the background it turn the screen on. My phone now looks like a Christmas tree: Blinking ridiculously. :mad::mad::mad::mad: I should have bought two pints of beer instead :mad:

AVOID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
I have posted a video on YouTube, just to share my [bad] experience:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAKN9hseVeg
[Galaxy S II General] ThaiM:
You guys must have either a conflicting program or improper setting on JD. Mine works great. As advertised. My screen doesn't come on like in the video at all. Go through your settings with a fine tooth comb, read, reread and read it once more. It's not the easiest app to configure but once you got it set up good, JD rocks.

I tried Green Power but didn't like it. It wasn't as useful.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
I've tried everything. Advanced settings, preset profiles, no solution. It seems that every time that LBE Privacy Guard rejects or grants any privilege to those apps which want to get your location or access your contacts Juice Defender

turns the screen and wifi on. This is definitely a bug. Why does it need the screen on when something happen on the background? See my screenshot and look at the screen and wifi lines.

I'm now giving a shot on the beta version, but seems the same.
[Galaxy S II General] Testraindrop:
If you got CPU controls on, turn them all off in JD, use SetCPU instead.

And don't use Timeout feature for Display and Screenlock (Settings avove Keyguard in Controls)

Had same problem, solved it with this.

And for me Juice Defender works really well, 2 working days are not a problem :)
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
If you aren't using rogue apps JD will worsen your battery life.

If you are using rogue apps, you should probably get rid of them.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
Thank you for the advice. Whereas CPU controls was on all the time, timeout feature was off.

I had actually gave up and uninstalled the app. Now I'll give another shot with the CPU control off. By the way, another thing that was annoying me a lot is that even if I set it to not enable mobile data, and doing the same in android settings (mobile packet data off) it was turning it on anyway. :mad:

Anyway, I'll give my last shot with CPU controls off. I have already asked a refund, but if it is going to work now I'll cancel my request :confused:

Thank you all for your advices. I'll keep you all informed of my juice's fate.
[Galaxy S II General] ieatstaples:
Can't say I have had a major battery problem, but it's worth a try anyway, thanks.
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
I think I found the problem :) It was an incompatibility with another app, a very useful one by the way, called "Unlock with Wi-Fi", which keeps your screen unlocked when you're connected with your wifi at home or work. Nevertheless, it just works if you keep your wifi on all the time, what means battery drain. How did I find this? Well, I uninstalled JD and installed Green Power instead. Than it had the same screen-on-blinking problem, however it provided a notification of what was happening, as opposed as JD which didn't say anything about the conflict. So, I've disabled the Unlock w/ WiFi app and reinstalled JD and now it seems to be working properly, apart from the mobile packet data issue that persists. I will keep it under observation for at least 24 hours, than I'll decide if I go for a refund or I'll keep it. :cool: I'm looking forward to keep it and to change the worse possible rating I left for it on android market. I was furious! :D
[Galaxy S II General] Eltahur:
+1 on this.
[Galaxy S II General] Eltahur:
i dunno, wierd apps like pandora, or push email, or wassap...really really obscure apps. come on, battery is an issue, its all over the sgs2 boards, clearly. diff people have diff use patterns, and asking people to stop using the phone or to change use patterns to solve the battery problem is not a solution.
[Galaxy S II General] mynameisjon:
Does anyone know how to toggle 2G/3G more specifically with JDU? Seems like the only way to do it is with screen off/on.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I used to be a Juice Defender diehard even bought it from the market but and this is 100% true it actually uses more battery than it saves, don't believe me, install it and check your wakelocks in BetterBatteryStats and you will see that JD is by far and away the biggest wakelock of them all, JD is really only good when your below 20% battery it then if set turns everything off but sure you can do that yourself.

My advice - if you want to save battery avoid JD.;)
[Galaxy S II General] jr866gooner:
I have yet to try myself however I've not had the need yet, many people may argue that you hadn't got it set in the correct way to save your battery which could explain it using more juice than you had expected.

I was just wondering, oh yeah and I have the samsung focus, can you use pictures as tiles in any way?

Like take for instance, the internet explorer tile. Instead of it's color being the accent color of your phone, could it be a picture with the internet explorer icon still where it was?

Download sdrescan from the market and after transfering pics use sdrescan...my pics showed up after that.
[Xoom General] armychris28210:
Yeah... I'm on brd 3.1. ill try rescan..i had my pics in the pic folder but they aren't recognized. And my book covers are in my gallery too... gotta figure this out..
[Xoom General] kev0153:
try this

First go to applications / all and find the gallery application. Clear data and force stop. Open the gallery and see if that worked.

If that doesn't work. go applications / all and find the media storage application. clear data. Then open the gallery. Fixed my weird gallery problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
I have been running gingerbeast by di11igaf and im very happy as all ive been doing is constant texting, xda, and music but the more i see sense the more i miss the visual and social boosts of it. Yeah, yeah, better battery, faster, blah blah. I understand... But whats all the hype about that when you dont have much to do with your phone? theres isnt alot of stuff packed into aosp and i know thats the point but i dont have a debit so im not able to buy apps and its very boring, missing all the widgets and **** like that... What are your guy's opinion on this? and also what apps/widgets do you use to replace sense stuff on aosp if you use it?

Thanks,

Chris
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Nothing wrong with trying different ROMs. Make a nandroid of your Gingerbeast build and then maybe start playing around with the latest builds of CoreDroid or RCMix3D Kingdom. They have most of the Sense 3.0 kinks worked out, and these ROMs are great looking and have a bunch of those HTC widgets you're drooling for. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] di11igaf:
The biggest thing with sense is social networking

If you don't use(or use your phone for it) Facebook, twitter, etc sense is pointless. There's plenty of apps to replace most sense stuff anyway. So for a lot of people the sense stuff is bloat(to me it is)

You can do everything you could do with sense, minus networking. I'm 28, me and my friends and family still text and talk on the phone. When I was growing up, AOL and chatrooms were social networking.

You can still-

Browse, message, take pics, videos, YouTube, work, games, movies, music, mess with your phone when your bored waiting in lines and whatnot(probably 90% of my phone usage)
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
Launcher Pro has most of these as widgets anyway if you want to keep the "AOSP experience".
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chrisj7:
I cant buy apps, launcher pro only gives widgets for the paid version, or i would do that. I installed rcmix 1.0 today to try sense 3.0 and its wayy to heavvy.. Remembered how much i hated sense app drawer, settings layout, and dock... Only thing i missed was the weather app, friend stream, and a couple other widgets.. Going back to gingerbeast if i don't enjoy leedroid... tried AR and Core droid, AR wasnt anything special and Core droid was way over themed and stuff like that.. Good job keeping my attention di11 =) lol

I know many of you T-mobile fans don't want to see the merger between AT&T and T-mobile. I agree with you also. As of yesterday, the battle have begun as favoring and opposing parties present their cases to the Senate. Read about it at the link below. It's very interesting!

I'm against the merger, at&t has bandwidth they are warehousing, they don't need t-mobile they only want to save themselves 2-3 years of utilizing that bandwidth
