[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rwc3b:
I'm installing this as a last resort before sending my phone back. After hard reset and everything, battery is still a major drain.

For those that are using it, how well does it work? Which settings are you using?

I've only the free version for now but would consider upgrading if it does help?

Also, how do you prevent meebo from disconnecting when the screen turns off? Is that an option on the free version?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Niroko:
About Juice Defender, for me it worked with ~1.6x batterylife.

About Meebo: get Trillian, they made it for free this week. You stay connected even if your phone is off(for max of 1 day, changeable in settings) and you'll receive al the messages which came while your online the enxt time you login again. You can manage all your accounts on the PC with the regular Trillian program and then login on your phone with your Trillian account and all the accounts will be there. It is a real nice app with very low battery consumption.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jacobnorth:
The free version is very limited. I use the ultimate version and I'm rather happy with it. I don't want to schedule traffic when my phone is idle, but that would be a massive battery saver.

Yes, you can set different settings for each app in the paid versions. You can set a trigger that makes sure your internet is always on when meego is running, even when your screen is off.

But overall, I have no problem to use my phone for more than 12 hours on battery with moderate usage. Maybe you should send your device back anyway.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TriNeo:
I had terrible battery drain as well but ive managed to resolve this. have you tried:

1. Deleting all social hub accounts?

2. Deleting your mail account if you use the stock mail app?

3. Updated to latest official firmware?

I was experiencing 10% idle drain per hour. Now i'm at 1-2%. Battery life is a huge improvement compared to my old desire. Dont guve up on this phone.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nightranger73:
In my experience standard battery drain per hour should be

1~2% screen off / data off

3~5% screen off / data on

12~15% screen on / data off

18~20% screen on / data on

WiFi uses less battery than 3g but as you can see display is main problem...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rwc3b:
1. I froze all Samsung-related apps and accounts with Titanium Pro

2. I'm using the Gmail stock app. Is that bad?

3. I updated to KE2 and hard reset twice

4. I also froze the wifi apps

when my phone is idle overnight - screen off and not in 'awake', it dropped from 100%-56% in 7.5 hours. i posted a screenshot in another thread.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Uvaavu:
Sounds like you need to clear your battery history, leave it over night, then check what's been using it overnight to me.

I have 5-10% drop at most overnight (7 hours or so).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rwc3b:
thanks. how would i clear battery history? is that under setting -> applications -> running ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TriNeo:
Also try clearing data on the software update app. That appeared to work for some people. U definitely have a rogue app eating your battery... Can you give us a list of your running processes immediately after you restart?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rwc3b:
So after using Juice defender ultimate for a couple weeks now, with the customizable apps configuration, I see no improvement in battery life.

I lost 50% charge overnight with just push email on (stock gmail app), only synching email and contacts.

For those with this app, what configurations are you using to improve the battery?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Vairn:
I have it setup to turn the data, and wifi off while the screen is off.

Night mode is enabled, from 11:30, to 7:00am

I also have it only allow wifi via location, work or home.

It eats 1-2% while in standby per hour.

and about 3-4% overnight.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blunted09:
i tried juice defender ultimate and it made no difference. I deleted it just because its another app working in the background...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mark2222:
I found it to be very effective when set up correctly. Lose less than 1% an hour at idle.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rwc3b:
how did you set it up?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Richdog:
Mine does that (1-2% per hour at idle) without Juicedefender and push email/facebook active. The problem with JD is also that when set to switch off Wifi and data in the background when the phone is idle, it doesn't always switch them back on after the phone awakens, resulting in many pain in the ass moments.

I bought it 6 months ago and never use it any more.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nightranger73:
I use Green Power for that... simply awesome... light and stable.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] madmax916sps:
hmm some people talks good, some bad about JD.

I paid for Ultimate version, and must say its brilliant!!

Over night 1-2% /6H

Standby 1-3% /Hour

with screenfilter i get 6 1/2 Hours with display on and UMTS today

from 78% drop to 10% and from 10% to 5% in 5Hours again.

Iam suprised with JD, very well
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mark2222:
Pretty standard really wifi and mobile data enabled (ultimate version), autosync on ping, 15 minute scheduled check for 30s. I don't have it turn off data at night because the phone is usually plugged in and have data enabled when the screen is on. It also manages the wifi locations so usually it only connects to wifi.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Richdog:
Hmm I'd never heard of that app, but did a bit of research and it looks like it really does wake the connections well with the latest release... will give it a try! :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Rooster19:
I lost 4%/idle for 12 hours.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] OisteinR:
JD is NOT fully compatibel with S II. I use it also on my i9000, and there it is ok...

The battery drain is a Gingerbread issue... :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ithehappy:
I installed JD Beta last night and set it to Extreme preset. In last 12 hours, from 0230 to 1430 battery decreased only 4%, from 92% to 88%. In that period I haven't touched the phone, it was on Flight mode.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] snudel:
flight mode anyway doesnt use much energy

why buying phones and get happy on idle time consumption?

my phone is never idle. i touch it every free second and check stuff

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] markvarley:
I also use green power. I had a htc wildfire and battery lasted a day, I installed green power and my battery lasts 2.5-3 days depending on use, serious increase (I was recalibrating the battery recently and letting it run from 100% to dead, damn thing just wouldn't die!). Will be one of the first apps onto my S2 when it arrives in a couple of days.

I've had android phones since the G1, my advice for a long battery life:

1. uninstall anything you don't actually use.

2. limit the background activity of apps, if you don't need your news, weather, twitter, facebook, ebay etc. updating all the time, turn it of or reduce the frequency if you can.

3. choose your widgets wisely, they are either doing something all the time or updating regularly.

4. use something like 'autostart killer' and block anything that launches on startup that you don't need to (preinstalled apps are often bad for this).

5. recalibrate your battery, not an issue on new phones unless rooted and new rom flashed but should be done occasionally so the phones % remaining is the battery capacity % remaining, it can go screwey.

6. Green power or Juice Defender. I like green power, it turns my data connection off for 15 minutes and on for 1 minute (you can set these to whatever you like). also automatically turns it on when I unlock the phone or when the phone is charging.

GPS chip used to be a real battery drainer but I don't think thats been an issue for a while.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] nightranger73:
Try using Gemini apps manager instead to block all permissions for autostarting apps

Some apps run when other events are triggered not only on BOOT_COMPLETED

Reboot your phone. Run Gemini am and choose from menu expert mode. Click on filter and choose running apps and begin then to disable unwanted permissions

My system is even smoother and no draining apps running now

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] markvarley:
Thanks I'll take a look at that :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Richdog:
WOw... been using Green Power for 2 days now and it is MILES better than Juice Defender. With Green Power the connection comes back on instantly every time... VERY impressed. Not had chance to see how much it extends battery yet as i've been messing with my phone constantly, but considering it does the same as JD then i'm sure it will be a champ... the main priority is the connections being reawakened on demand, and it does this perfectly. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blunted09:
im going to check out green power today and see how it performs.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] stratplayer:
Aye, Ive been using Green Power since day 1 on the Galaxy S2. Its worth every penny and makes Juice Defender look over complicated and inferior in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] blunted09:
anybody know if there is an option to manage bluetooth? I usually keep it on all day. Would be great to be able to manage that.

BTW, it is VERY simple to use. JD was much to complicated.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] JAG131990:
Just started using JD, JD is a lot of things but it certainly isn't complicated. The advanced menu's seem to be written so that trained monkeys could understand them. If you think im joking try sticking your phone through a fence at your local zoo.

There is no way this ffc is 1.3; at the very least on the T-Mobile USA version. Sorry to break it to you but it is just as crappy as ANY other VGA camera.

What's so hard in taking a pic and seeing the resolution of it?

It's a 640 x 480, which equals 0.3MP.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eventhorizonn:
Hi guys! I'll start of with what I have and what I did.

Hardware:

Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570

Desktop PC

Usb Cable

Software:

OS Froyo 2.2.1 (stock)

Samsung Kies (from included CD)

Super One-Click android rooter

Root Explorer

Super User

Okay so I started installing Kies on my desktop PC first. I set-up my Galaxy Mini in debugging mode, and connected it to my PC using USB-Cable. My phone got installed successfully. I, then, started Super One-Click and clicked "ROOT", and it was successful too. I rebooted my phone to be safe, and Superuser is now available in apps.

Everything is set for modifying the original Camera.apk. So first of all, I navigated to /system/app using Root Explorer and deleted camera.apk and camera.odex. I went to data/dalvik-cache and deleted everything. I copied a new camera.apk (v2.1) to /system/app. I changed it's permissions to rw-r--r--, then rebooted my phone.

To my surprise after following steps from a forum thread, Camera is not shown in my apps. I repeated the steps like 5 times already, have I missed something. But to no luck Camera isn't showing up anymore.

-----------------------------------------------

I thought luckily I backup up the original Camera.apk. I replaced the original Camera.apk to /system/apps again and changed the permission to rw-r--r-- and rebooted. I was shocked that Camera still isn't showing up in my apps.

-What could I have done wrong here?

-Is camera.odex needed for Camera v2.1?

-can someone show me and alternative?

If anyone has experienced this, or have found a way to fix theirs, please, I really need your help.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Is the phone more or less operational?

You run AlphaRev by chance? (S-Off)

Surprised you ran unrevoked again when you were already rooted.

Try this; flash your cwm recovery through ROM manager to get the latest version.

Do all your wipes as usual.

Flash Cyanogenmod7 again.

Also, you can run a search for USB Brick. I've seen several of these as of late in numerous forums.

can use it with a case on your phone! I can confirm all the cases we sell at TPU-Cases will fit the dock, I haven't gotten a chance to test it with
