Well, freezing and ATK are needed to reach 2 separate goals:

1) Freezing: Needed to completely disable apps you plan on NEVER using.

2) ATK: Needed to completely close out apps you DO use when they stay cached/rogue in the background and keep your device awake.

So I do agree with you, freezing is absolutely necessary, but it really is the bare minimum. You still need ATK on top of that to actively seek out and kill battery draining apps.
[Galaxy S II General] rheza02:
I can confirm, OP solution works great on me. Thanks..
[Galaxy S II General] yudi7:
Well, the solution that worked for me was opposite. I installed ATK and my battery emptied very quickly. I Uninstalled ATK the other day and my battery life was much much better. I make a lot of phone calls and use Whatsapp for like at-least two hours and after the day my battery is more than 40 %. And thats enough for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Bawezy:
I uninstalled the official facebook app and that did it for me. Now I get two days of usage, I even have pingchat and whatsapp running as those are only push services so no biggie. I also have all my contact/calendar sync settings to every 12 hours.
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
The official Facebook app has been broken for months for me. It Burns CPU all the time with all notifications off. Over avoided it for months.

It shows up in system panel app list pretty high up with no use by me.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Yep, confirmed. Facebook app will keep your device awake all the time unless you let ATK kill it.
[Galaxy S II General] kryptoner:
i had problems with go launcher as scrolling was not as smooth as touchwiz. then i installed go launcher today, then freezed touchwiz...seems go launcher is much smoother after the new update...my battery life has improved almost by 40%
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
There are some launchers that just don't seem as smooth on SGSII/Gingerbread as SGSI/Froyo. I used Zeam on Froyo with my SGS, but it was just not smooth on the SGSII... not sure what that was all about.

ADW Launcher EX works great though.
[Galaxy S II General] DJTaurus:
When i use wifi the battery drain is ridiculous.....even more than my old htc desire.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
I was checking on the battery usage and after screen, wi-fi seems the highest user. The phone also seems to get quite hot when on wi-fi. I checked the Settings>Wi-fi screen and even though connected, every couple of seconds I get a pop-up - scanning.

I have disabled notify for open networks, so why is this 'scanning' going on? Obviously it is eating up resources.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Hmm, how'd my thread end up in Q&A? :)
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Same thing happened to me with Phantom Music Control, true battery hog, keeping my phone active all the time, even when screen off.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Tested KF2 with eBuddy, still keeps Awake bar nice and solid even after exiting out of the app. So, still running ATK today, getting great battery life. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Vulpix:
Why not just use Trillian or something? I don't have that problem...
[Galaxy S II General] jbdeq:
Btw

What is the best option Wifi always on or off when screen off?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Of course Wi-Fi Off.
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
Might give it a try, thanks for the tip! Just been using eBuddy forever. :)
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
normally, on all the other android devices, you want wifi sleep policy set to NEVER. lettting the wifi switch off and go back to 3G is a huge drain, better to keep it on wifi with screen off.

however the SGS2 has some unique bug where wifi may drain too fast (i.e. the Android OS bug), so you may be better leaving sleep policy set to OFF with this device, at least till that bug is solved.
[Galaxy S II General] OgnenLazarevski:
Same as u so what to do ????
[Galaxy S II General] ahmedcool166:
Any body could tell me how to wipe battery state or celebrate it again but by right way ?

Hint : by the cwm option
[T-Mobile LG G2x] againareku:
I am very interested in rooting to delete lots of the stock apps and "bloatware", as well as the mod to eliminate throttle and the 1080p 30fps mod....

but I do not, do not want a custom ROM, I want to stay stock.

So I am asking here, if I root, remove the bloatware and apply the throttle mod and camcorder mod, can I still use the OTA update for gingerbread and driver fixes when they come out?

I'm not flashing, just removing bloatware..can I still OTA?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chompipe:
Hi, i asked this exact question on another post. The answer i got is that if you root and stay stock, you can still apply the official OTA when it comes out but you will loose root. I'm going to root just to remove bloat but not flash custom roms, ill patiently wait for the official OTA to come out.

As far as the mod's i have no idea if they will work on the stock rom, might wanna doe a lil bit of research. Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
A short delve into the emulator in the developer tools reveals things like navigation that still hasn't officially been confirmed!

Here's what I've found so far:

Zune:

-There's a smart-dj feature

-You can create and save playlists

-There's a "related artists" and bio under the artist tab, great for discovering music

-Podcasts work well

-You can't "heart" songs (at least in the emulator)

-There's still no scrub controls

Bing & Maps

-Bing maps has voice-guided directions as expected

-You can show traffic on maps

-Still no landscape maps

-It's now possible to scroll the mini-map while the text directions are on-screen

-Bing music recognizes music like Shazam and clicking on the result will take you to zune marketplace

-You can now unlock the phone using the search button, apparently

-If you search for something on Bing that has an application equivalent; it will show you a link to the application within Bing.

Keyboard

-Keyboard prediction has been improved a lot:

It previously didn't correct misspellings of many short words like ar -> at, fir-> for and br-> be), now it does

It also now corrects it if you press a letter instead of space between two words e.g. it will suggest "I'm about" if you type imnabout or imnaboit, and will suggest "How are you" if you type "hownarebyou"

The keyboard also corrects common misspellings like Profesional -> Professional

-Keyboard tries to predict next word (as shown at 24th May event), e.g. If you type I, then "tr", it will suggest "tried", whereas in WP7 it will suggest nothing. This seems to work pretty well

IE

- Websites seem to render more accurately

- Websites can use GPS data for location

- Bing suggestions now appear when typing a search in IE as well

- Text still looks garbled when really zoomed out

- Tab animation has changed very subtly

General OS:

- Same colour themes as last time

- It appears you can't "press and hold" the back button in the emulator, meaning possibly we can't do multitasking, even in an unlocked emulator.

Camera

- No changes in general layout. There seems to be a software camera button in the camera app

Can't wait for an unlocked emulator!

Update: If you search for something on Bing that has an application equivalent; it will show you a link to the application within Bing. Picture at the end.

Update 2: Additions to the keyboard section about prediction

Update 3: There seems to be a software camera button in the camera app

Update 4: It appears you can't "press and hold" the back button in the emulator, meaning possibly we can't do multitasking, even in an unlocked emulator.

Update 5: The "my location" icon now has the same colour as the OS theme

Here are some images;
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] domineus:
fantastic write up
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Thanks. Updated with one more thing :) If anyone else has things to add, I will update the list
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] toza:
Thank you for the infos you provided! I was wondering if there's any chance to explain a bit how does the "smart DJ" option in Zune, work?

Can you move songs around freely and then create the playlist or not? How does it work?

Thank you for your time!;)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on the emulator. I'll let you know if I can get it working.

EDIT: To expand on that, it says "WE don't have enough info about this artist to generate a Smart DJ playlist"
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] fiinix:
"Bing music recognizes music like Shazam"

> Shazam inb4 out of business in wp7 lol.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Yeah especially as Shazam now costs money for unlimited tagging!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] toza:
Who knows what "smart dj" option really is...

Anyway, thanks for your time and efforts! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] jmerrey:
On the zune player, the smart dj takes the song you are listening to, and creates a playlist of 25 or so songs that are similar to that song.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] cbebop7:
its kinda like Pandora, auto creates a playlist based on your taste with songs from your library and also marketplace if u have a Zune pass. The Zune desktop software has it and so did the Zune HD I m guessing.

And yeah Bing music looks awesome, maybe thats why Shazam decided to remove their app from the marketplace;)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] OGCF:
Awesome work so far Robin.B! We're writing an article about this post right now.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Mystictrust:
From the 7.1 Beta Release notes:

"The task-switching user interface that accessed on physical devices by pressing and holding the back button, is not supported on the emulator."

I was looking forward to checking that out, too :(
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
One of the main Mango's features: IE now supports HTML5! And with hardware rendering and acceleration! This benchmark http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/performance/fishietank/ gives me about 25-26 fps in emulator. Wow, MS! Real device will render at least 50-60 fps :-)

P.S. Still no Silverlight support in browser :-(
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] toza:
@ jmerrey and cbebop7

Ah, that is the thing I was hoping not to get as an answer... I hope you agree with me, that that is kinda useless.:(

It would be much better if one could rearange the songs in wished order, and then save that as an playlist (of course, with a possibility of editing that playlist).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] neo158:
Task Switching is accessed by pressing and holding F1 on your keyboard.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] BlitterTwisted:
I'm running the emulator and was looking forward to trying a few things, but my PC keyboard doesn't work in the emulator. Is this normal?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] rruffman:
hit the page up to access your keyboard
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
Press "Pause/Break" key to enable PC keyboard.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] rruffman:
Good Find...
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] LOTG:
How/where did you get the unlocked image?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
I didn't, this is all accessible from the locked emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Gater:
Really ? I can only see Internet explorer on the first page, nothing more, how is that possible ? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Press the search button. This takes you to bing. You can then search for a location which gives you access to maps. You can also use bing vision, audio voice commands. From bing audio you have access to the zune service and marketplace. From the maps you can click "share" and it will take you to the messaging app, etc. Just need to be creative
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] havox22:
IE9 doesnt show any web pages, it loads them but the screen stays grey. Is anybody else having this problem or knows how to fix it?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
I have same issue on Win7 x64 system. Also that PC have a budget GPU. So, don't know the reason... On the another PC (Win7 32 bit, x86 with last year top nVidia's videocard) everything works smooth and fast.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] havox22:
So im screwed :confused: im on vista x64 dell studio laptop
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] sensboston:
I believe MS will release a fix for x64 systems soon.

P.S. Seems like it's not a bug but feature. Pocket IE 9 uses hardware acceleration for rendering; so, your desktop/laptop video card must be WDDM1.1 compliant.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] oelapoel:
do you know whether we can search contact like in outlook? i.e search company, etc etc, not just by name only
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Guys, I've managed to get access to the e-mail, people and dialer aspects of the emulator. Stay tuned for pictures of linked accounts, etc :)
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] djdurance:
Nice work!! can you share how you where able to get there?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Commander Data:
Keep up the good work! And maybe share some of your secrets when you're done:).
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Robin.B:
Right guys, here are some pictures detailing the e-mail set-up and the likes.

I came to this area in the phone using bing search to search for a local business, dial the number, then add a call to access dialer, then people hub, and then finally adding an e-mail account. Unfortunately, I can't yet add a windows live account. However, I think with some tweaking it may be possible to access the calendar through the e-mail.

Meanwhile, here are some more pictures:

"Save check-in history to improve search results" sounds great, perhaps it will know roughly what places you go and suggest local results accordingly.

You can now filter the contacts list to show whichever accounts you like.

It seems you can sync tasks from Google as well as Outlook!

Fairly standard link inboxes dialogue

You can name it anything you like, and link as many accounts as you want

Finally, server-side searching on google e-mail

You can also search the e-mail server for history with a contact!!

That's all for now, I will do my best to uncover more.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] deno123:
Message threading seems nice
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] deno123:
Send video to text message

I was not able to send a video to text but I was able to “share" to email? I was under the impression that send video to text was coming?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
Nice, good job!

Have you been able to test/access the threads? For chat and textmessages? Can you for example disable the chat on windows live and only use facebook?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] deno123:
I was unable to install applications from marketplace (did anyone get that to work?), seems that they have blocked sign-in with passport (Hotmail email does not work as well). That said I can't test the Facebook/IM chat only text. I didn’t see any options for turning one on or the other.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] deno123:
auto fix for pictures -- not sure how it works?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] Marvin_S:
Thanks :)

Could you not sign in on facebook either? Is that blocked as well?

Or will the chat need a windows live account as a basis and is fb chat just an extension? Probably, that will be kind of a bummer.

Cool those features comming up. Did you managed to access the general settings panel, with all the settings of everything?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] deno123:
I was unable to set up a facebook account -- could not find the option yet the rom only has a few options under setting panel.

I really want an unlocked version, any word on that yet?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] kadajawi:
I'm curious about the navigation. 2D or 3D? Will it read road names for you? How do you enter the location (like with regular satnavs city, then road, or like Google Maps Navigation any way you like)? Does it require an internet connection? It's probably written by MS, using Bing Maps, right? God, I hope Nokia will simply port Ovi Maps, including onboard navigation.
[Thunderbolt General] Eddog4DROID:
Everytime I use either ADW or Zeam, I have problems with the Launcher, I assume, being killed off by the system to free resources possibly?

I never used the Sense Launcher, and I really do not plan to--it's not as customizable as I would like (maybe if I can add 5 Rows and a new Dockbar I would?)

Anyhow, this is a huge problem I found with my OG DROID. It was 99% solved with my Fascinate. Now on my TB, it's back at it again, constant redraw. Anytime I am in a memory intensive situation (especially, but there are exceptions to this rule), and I hit the home button, the Launcher is blank and restarts. This surely can't be a memory problem with a phone that has 768 RAM.

I am not rooted, and I don't plan to (did it with my Droid, Fascinate and Nook Color--I simply want a phone that I am happy with as stock.)

Any thoughts on this? Anytime I bring this up, most claim it does not happen to them. I am an app whore, so my phone is loaded, but still?

Thoughts? Ideas?
[Thunderbolt General] bomber889:
It used to happen to my D1 and I think it was because of the memory.

You might want to get rooted, and install a senseless rom, therefore you won't have rosie taking up resources, since you don't even use it.

I use launcherpro and I am using a senseless rom and it never happens.

Hope this helps
[Thunderbolt General] g00s3y:
Do either of those launchers have a setting to "keep in memory" this may help you out. I know LP does, not sure about those since I have never used them. Check out the settings for them, hopefully there is something like that in there.
[Thunderbolt General] Eddog4DROID:
ADW does have a "system persistence" but he said he is taking it out because it doesn't work on 2.3 plus. I use it and it doesn't change anything.

Zeam is minimalistic and has no system settings. I tried LP (I have the paid versions), and the same thing...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mikewong27:
Hi All,

I just found this generic screen protector for TF:

http://poshelpdesk.web137.discountasp.net/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=1609&idcategory=0#details

Never used products from this company before, so kind of hesitant on purchasing it.

Just thought that I pass this info to the forum.

Mike
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] mikewong27:
Found another one on ebay:

http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_kw=scr..._Tablet_Accessories&hash=item45fa4ceff6&vil=1
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] junks2010:
Still overpriced. I think $6 would be reasonable for a tablet screen protector.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Traderny:
Custom made for Eee Pad

I purchased a custom made one on Amazon yesterday, has all the cutouts according to the listings and has a dry application, Ill give a review once I get it. Here is the link http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Eee-Pad-Crystal-clear-dirt-repellent/dp/B0051401L8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1306422323&sr=8-8
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] echomatics:
Looks good...

Ordered mine and will post review once I receive it from them. Thanks for sharing the link +
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] deymayor:
bought the item from ebay for $7.99. If it sucks, i think i can live with it. Right now, it looks so naked without a protector and anything this pretty and naked is asking for trouble.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] robojerk:
Has anyone tried this out? I would be interested in an anti-glare protector.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] skeeterpro:
I snagged it also. What sold me was the statement that it "covers the entire glass area". Not just the screen portion one obviously presumes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp2000:
I need some help here.

Power button broke on my n1 sometime ago. Recently I tried to flash a new kernel but forgot to wipe and it's basically stuck at the logo.

I'm able to get into the hboot screen via bqttry removal technique but cannot select any option because of bad power button.

Any ideas how to flash a new room? I tried connecting USB to pc but phone is not recognized while in hboot mode.

Any help would appreciated as it's my only phone

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Is your phone unlocked (ie do you have a lock symbol at the bottom of the 'X' screen)?

If so, I believe you can hold the trackball while booting up and that will take you into fastboot.

From there, I think you just issue the command

fastboot reboot recovery

If that doesn't work, you can just boot off a recovery file that is stored on your computer. Download either clockworkmod (I would recommend any v2.x as v3.x has some problems) or Amon_RA to a easy to type location on your computer. Then issue the command

fastboot boot recovery "c:\location to\recovery.img"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp2000:
Ok, so I got it to boot in fastboot, but there's no option to

also

I get:

cannot load 'recovery'

and I did this:

Is there a way reboot it into recovery?

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Passimg back to stock, root, and try again...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Is there any more into that error? Did you verify the md5sum to make sure the recovery isn't corrupted?

Also, if you have a recent nandroid backup saved on your sdcard, you can pull that off and flash the imgs directly

./fastboot-mac flash system /location/to/system.img
./fastboot-mac flash boot /location/to/boot.img
./fastboot-mac flash userdata /location/to/data.img
./fastboot-mac reboot

Where these files will be located depends on your recovery. I know with clockworkmod they are located in the backup folder under the clockworkmod folder on the sdcard. I don't know where they are stored for Amon_RA, but I would assume it would be similar.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp2000:
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

Finally got my phone working!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happlo:
Hi.

I have the same problem but whenever I try "fastboot flash" or "fastboot recovery" I end up with "FAILED (remote: signature verifiy fail)". I think this is due to that my bootloader is not unlocked, so I tried:

fastboot oem unlock

I got the option to unlock bootloader but I had to use my power button to select "unlock". My power button is broken so I don't know what to do.

Is there anything else I can do? Otherwise I think I have to open the phone and try to repair the button.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
PASSIMG back to stock and root. Use "unroot/restore" section in Wiki.

If you're skilled enough with soldering tiny connectors - you can repair the button. There is a guide on this forum, showing the exact location to attach to.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Happlo:
Thanks. Now I can use the phone again!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No.29:
Where is this repair guide...please let me know...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tombaker1:
Seems there is enough similarities of the phones, if not Exact....that the threads could be combined.

The reason I think it is critical to combine is that it becomes a hassle to check each thread to see what is good info...we have double postings essentially having two groups talking and solving the same problems.

I even have to post this poll in two places, for the exact same hardware, under the same logic as two categories, we would need a new group for each custom ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sarni84:
dude that would cause chaos did u see where the one guy didnt see this one download was specifically for the g2x n flashed it n it ended up being for the o2x he was stuck with the wrong baseband basically ****ed it would be to much confusion especially with the new people who frequent this site
