[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
ok

2 and 4 solved

I ignored 5 so, just 1 and 3
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] mehulkarate:
how to solve usb pop? which version are you used?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
I just did whatever monfro told pajerm to do :D

btw i had no chance to test my rom !it has an error which it doesnt let me to work ! not even let me install another rom :|

its killing me -.-

the error is : [ERROR] Please check HTCLOG

whenever i try to install a new rom, my opal restart and connection between PC and Phone is lost :|

what can i do now ?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
i need to remove my current rom on my opal, but it seems i cant

any idea?
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] pajerm:
try to update rom by sdcsrd (put opalimg.nbh in the root of your sdcard and boot your opal with volume down key pressed)
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
it went to a screen which has 4 color ( red blue green and white) and stopped there :D
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] pajerm:
format the sdcard to fat32, than rename your rom to opalimg.nbh and put it in your sdcard, now start your opal with volume-down key pressed
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
thanks, worked <3
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] arianesfahani:
i will upload the rom tonight or tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrediaslopes:
Hello everyone,

I'm running some tests to see the battery consumption on my Galaxy S i9000. I'm using the gingerbread version of darkys ROM.

Firstly, what do you think of the battery life? In this specific test I used the phone in a very light way, made some messages/calls and read few mails.

Secondly, is it normal to have depressions in the battery chart that display less battery than it shows later? How is it computed? Isn't just some logic level of the voltage battery?

Lastly, in the case of buying another battery, is it worthless to be genuine?

Thanks a lot :)

Sorry! Obviously I didn't searched properly. Hope someone can clarify us :confused:

Is it a gingerbread issue?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdj57:
Even big batteries will "recover" after heavy use so ur graph is quite normal.

Also be aware that if the battery calibration isnt xorrect then that will lead to weird graphs too. E.g. Losing 1% over 8hrs after flashing a new rom is most likely due to inaccurate battery calibration.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrediaslopes:
When I install a new rom the battery stats are always deleted? Or it depends?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitzz:
I also having the same prob...batt consumptions are always the main concern when come to flashing a new rom...Darky's can only last me for 1day with heavy usage and recently flashed to MIUI which can only last for <8hours with the same usage...im not sure why this happen but I am trying with different kernels and see which is the best combination...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrediaslopes:
I just installed a new gingerbread ROM and guess what.. Using push, wi-fi all the time, gps, 1h youtube video, sms, video call... The battery never ends!! As I'm writing the battery is still 15%. It's amazing the gingerbread in terms of battery consumption. Obviously, something in the other ROM was not right! :P Guess I'll stick to this battery a little more time. :-)

Btw, the battery stats are pretty normal, no depressions.. :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtybar:
You can't hide it (apparently you can in 3.1, but that's not for sure yet) and it takes up a good amount of the screen. It's especially annoying when trying to watch a video (although admittedly I didn't notice it until I read other people's gripes in these forums...now it bugs me!).

Why didn't they just make buttons or touch sensitive icons on the bezel?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punchatron:
Certain apps will darken out the home bar such as Kindle reader/youtube( i think) but yes I agree there should be an option to hide it while using certain apps such as Dolphin HD while in full screen.

This is the first time I'm hearing of 3.1 allowing us to hide the bar. I hope it happens otherwise we might have to wait for a custom rom to do it for us.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
They wanted manufacturers to be able to do buttonless designs, so it has to be there or you have no way of navigating.

by the way in any properly made app the bar will fade away till theres just 3 faint dots left, is that really a huge issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klau1:
this is one of the best new features of HoneyComb. now buttons will always be properly oriented with the screen orientation.

Hey guys

I'm using the Samsung picture frame widget with widgetlocker and I selected about 7 pictures. The widget seems to freeze on one photo though after a while. Anyone got any solutions? Thanks

[Nexus S General] itsallsubliminal:
Ok so it is very hard to find dedicated threads to this and I think the more of us trying this and reporting back to one thread, the more successful we will be in achieving great battery life or performance (i do it for battery life)

Here's what i have found to work well today, just some simple adjustments but my battery didn't drop a single percent for about 1.5 hours of very light use(still great tho).

MAIN TAB

Setting the Scaling to: Conservative

Max: 1000MHz

Min: 100MHz

PROFILES TAB

(i only have one profile set):

Screen off - Max: 400 (don't go lower, your phone wont wakeup)- Min: 100- conservative - Priority 50

ADVANCED TAB

(minimal changes, but i feel they have helped a bit):

Sampling Rate: 20000

Up Thresh: 80

Down Thresh: 25

Ignore Nice: 0

Freq Step: 20

These may not be the best settings as we will play guess n check, but thats the reason of this thread, lets figure these things out.
[Nexus S General] driftnut56:
You need root permission's for this, correct?
[Nexus S General] itsallsubliminal:
yessir you do
[Nexus S General] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
You should look into the smartass governor if you want to look for screen off frequencies. SetCPU only wastes CPU cycles for you to do this when a kernel can do it. Of course, I believe the end result is that you're still saving more battery, so at least it's a step forward :)
[Nexus S General] teddybrukshut:
I'm overclocking 1.2 ghz. Switching between interactive and conservative.

Conservative has better battery life, but interactive is a bit snappier.

I'm new to the setcpu thing; gathered bits and pieces here and there to try and find the perfect settings.

Great thread though, hopefully people will post so we can take full advantage of this beast!

BTW, Tried to post screenshots, but I need more forum activity.
[Nexus S General] dreamsforgotten:
Had no success with conservative myself it allows the clock to step down to 100 eventhough I have the minimum at 200. The smart ass works like a charm no more lock screen lag
[Nexus S General] ArizonaLoco:
Hi. I am new to over clocking with SetCPU. How did you get it to go over the 1000 max? I don't understand all of the other settings enough to feel brave enough to change them other than the first tab.

Thanks
[Nexus S General] itsallsubliminal:
You have to flash a custom kernel (i recommend netarchy's kernel), then when you open setcpu, you can "autodetected recommended settings". You will then see the ability to overclock.
[Nexus S General] caleb1783:
i used following profiles and UV settings...

still looking into it though...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Just curious as to what other folks are getting for actual screen on battery time, as in, what do you think you would get in constant screen on usage?

I don't suffer from really bad battery drain, I think I could get a couple of days of light use from it.... but it does fair chomp the battery in use.

I reckon I could completely drain the battery in 3 - 4 hours of constant use of say web browsing, the odd game, texting etc, and am just wondering how that measures up with others; with talk of this device having iphone 4 levels of battery life, my last daily driver was said iphone, and that device managed about 50% longer screen on time, so it doesn't quite match that, but some are saying theirs is better?

I don't have the brightness cranked or anything, and I'm not exactly unhappy, but it probably matches my Incredible S for battery life, and both phones are perhaps slightly better than the Nexus One or Desire, which I didn't think were amazing in that department...

Speaking of battery life while browsing,

http://blog.gsmarena.com/showdown-s...ng-battery-life-championship-not-so-brightly/

Keep in mind the screen is a great deal larger than the iphone 4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdy2go:
3h of intranet browsing is max for me
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
maybe an hour of max, 3 of lowest
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winst:
I also got about 3-4 hours with brightness set to 20%. I originally wonder if it's my problem only, as most of you say the battery can easily last for more than 1 day.

In my case, most of the battery is used by the display, given I used each about 1.5 hour before and after work during travel (with display turned on). So 3 hours of display on + some phone call and sms, that will drain the whole battery for me within one day. I think I need to buy a 2nd battery when it is available in Hong Kong. :mad:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CandyAndy:
Yeah same here. Display takes almost 50%. I have automatic brightness set on. I could of course set it to minimum brightness and it would decrese the battery consumption but I think it is ridiculous that I first buy a phone which is praised for its bright display and then I turn it to the darkest. Completely stupid. I tried that quickly and even my old Desire looked better then.

But then I read results like this:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-i9...minutes-of-video-playback-on-a-single-charge/

And I just keep wondering that wtf is wrong with my phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winst:
Exactly. I want my phone can have this battery life too. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fruktsallad:
Same juice hungry Screen here. :-( I never use automatic brightness either. It's set to a really low brightness, byt it's still chewing away on the battery like there's no tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
To shorthand it for everyone, the SGS2 came in fourth out of four when using web scripts until the battery dies utilizing the stock browser. Results are:

Web browsing battery life test:

Apple iPhone 4 – 7:40 h

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc – 5:25 h

Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II – 4:59 h (Opera Mobile browser)

LG Optimus Black – 4:30 h

Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II – 4:22 h (stock browser)

Samsung I9000 Galaxy S – 4:06 h

So since the SGS sucked more, I guess it's the Amoled screen doing them in. They should have used black web pages and the SGS2 would have won. ;)

Actually, if you think about it, the SGS2 is pushing more pixels and has a dual-core processor with hardware acceleration to feed. So at least beating the SGS shows some progress.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Thanks for the comments guys. Good to know it's not just me. It'd be nice to get the same as the arc... So maybe there is room for improvement, but all those who say it can match the iphone are living in dreamland! Saying that, I'll still take the bigger screen, ta! However, certainly reviews like techradars are a little misleading imo.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
It'll be interesting to see how the iPhone 5 performs with a bigger screen and dual core processors. At least we don't have to send our phones back to the mother ship to get the batteries replaced when they discharge for $150. Come to think of it, with a pocket full of extra batteries, we'd be able to go 24/7 with a couple of pit stops. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winst:
Luckily, the battery is so light that possibly having 1-2 extra batteries won't feel any weight inside the bag. :p If Samsung can release a "battery" direct charger (instead of charging through the phone itself), it will probably make my life easier. ;)

Anyway, though the battery life is not as good as I originally expect, I still consider this phone as my best phone, EVER. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
not really, the SGS2 has less pixels than the iphone 4 in that test, for example. and the iphone 4 also is hardware accelerated for browser and all UI elements, so its kinda a close match. smaller screen, but more pixels, but SGS2 has larger battery and AMOLED, so really its matched up.

Galaxy S2 Battery RESPONSE

Hey Guys,

I sold my iphone 4 to purchase the galaxy s2, never owned an Android phone before, I posted a post on the forum about rooting methods for the S2. Before I purchased the phone i did research on batter life and I read most users could do a full day or close to 2 days without charged. They said it had a better battery than the iphone 4 this was the decisive factor which lead me to buy the phone. To come to this post and read that the pone battery last only 4 hours for browsing this is childs play. I feel somewhat cheated and deceived.

Has anyone in the forum here achieved the 24 hour battery best while using the phone in full capacity ? How is this acceptable to you guys, 4 hours ? This is unacceptable.

Thanks

RedCell X
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Yes, I too read of the great battery life of this phone - but not on here - but on reviews from the likes of techradar etc. Very deceiving. That said, I can get through a typical day quite easily on a charge, but it's never going to take on the iphone on battery life no matter what they say.

That said, I think (hope) the situation will improve with more mature firmware.

It is a shame, but for me, its not a dealbreaker, especially as I am always near a power source.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcellx:
Hello,

Yes I was deceived !!! I feel robbed and cheated. I simply don't know what to say.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
most iPhones do not truly multitask, so they do not waste power. it is also a walled garden, with fewer freedoms, and fewer possibilities to mess up admittedly highly tuned and optimized power management scheme. Remember it is one OS on one piece of hardware, with every component tested and tuned to near-perfection.

and yes, if you set your SGS2 browser at 100% brightness, auto-enable Flash (that will waste power on all those moving ads etc that you are not even looking at), turn on music in the background streaming it to your Bluetooth headphones, enable Gmail sync, Exchange sync, Facebook, GVoice, GTalk, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Chat, AIM, Twitter, etc, and browse (read mostly black text on mostly white backgrounds) for 2-4 hours, your battery will drain.

You do not really have to say anything - just return it. Vote with your dollar (or pound, or rupee)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcellx:
This is to KREOXDA,

Hello,

Can you or have you used the sgs2 for 24 hours or more of heavy useage? Can you provide testimony for those who feel limited to the 4 hours of browsing others experience. In respect to your prior post, using your sgs2 surfing with flash OFF, twitter OFF, exchange sync, OFF,Google Voice OFF, BlueTooth OFF, Can you get a full 24 hours usage out of the phone ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moandal:
I think the difference may be in scrolling. It doesn't sound like the test included scrolling of web pages - just loading. And I suspect that the super smooth scrolling you get on the SII gives those dual cores a good workout.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
I'm well aware of that; indeed, I wasn't really complaining as such, but you can't deny that some of the reviews can be kind of misleading at times. I put it down to the fact that a lot of these sites rush their reviews out, but rarely spend any real time with the device. In that respect, in future, I'll mainly be looking at GSMarena for my reviews as they seem much more methodical and objective than most.

As for the second paragraph, I rarely ever use 100% brightness unless outdoors, flash is "on demand", only play music when on the go, don't use bluetooth headphones, do use gmail and faceboook but not any of the others, and a bit browsing or games playing, and realistically, 4 hours is about as much as I can manage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreoXDA:
I did not mean to offend you in any way. Just actually cared for you and wanted you to be happy with your phone no matter what phone it is (no sarcasm I swear!)

But back to your question. My SGS2 does not last through 24 hours of heavy usage. Definition of "heavy" differs from user to user though.

As I mentioned previously on multiple occasions here, first week of usage I was charging the phone TWICE A DAY because I was abusing it with usage.

Then the novelty wore off, and I started to see what effects the battery life. I am now at 24 hours of comfortable use. I do still plan to charge my phone every night, as I have been doing with ANY of the smartphones I had in the last 5-7 years.

Attached is the battery status screenshot I conveniently snapped last night :)

Some comments to the graph in chronological order:

1) The beginning of the line, it is declining (not badly but declining) because I have Exchange sync and reception is crappy where I was, plus I am doing web browsing

2) Where there is a gap in "phone signal" - I was underground on a train, watching a movie.

3) First Red band in the "phone signal" - I was in a meeting in a room with very bad coverage, had my screen on the whole time, using productivity apps. Power drops significantly because Exchange was trying to find signal and sync the whole time, and the coverage was really bad.

4) first and largest drop on the graph - heavy game playing, phone heated up (FYI it was Robo Defense)

5) quiet period - I was doing nothing, but autosync was still on

6) second drastic drop - I decided to go for seconds with Robo Defense

7) another quiet area right in the middle of the screen shot - I was doing nothing, but apparently the phone was awake - not sure what was running. no significant drainage though. EDIT: I think I was asleep in this area, it was the night.

8) the yellow drop - more gaming followed by browsing

9) red area - just browsing, youtubing and some minor gaming.

Note throughout this whole time I was also checking emails and doing minor things I am not mentioning above (like calling ;) )

Hard stats:

Display on - 3 h 37 mins on mostly minimal brightness

Exchange Email awake - 57 minutes (sending/receiving mails and trying to get signal)

Android OS - 1 h 38 m total

Robo Defense - 49 mins. but this is CPU time, not real time. Real time was I would say 2.5 hours

Wi-Fi Sharing - 7 min

This is not perfect, and not heavy usage at all. I just know I can train the battery more, optimize the phone more, and then Samsung will patch the phone more.

If you need an out of the box perfect experience - I cannot guarantee it to you with SGS2, although many people claim their phones are perfect out of the box.

But the phone is good, powerful and picturesque, and I can live with this batt life just fine.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redcellx:
Hello kreoXDA,

I took no offense to your post, infect i favor your honesty and ability to share your phone particulars as to show how your battery life was drained.

kreoXDA, my question to you now is: What phone specifications do you have your phone set to that will allow you 24 hours of usage. With my iphone 4 i charged it every night too.

Can you provide the recommended particulars in reference to phone settings for those who wants or needs the phone to last 24 hours ? Especially how much screen brightness the phone should be set too.
