[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
I know the battery life is not the best on this phone, but today my battery died very quick.

I fully charged it in the night, than unplugged my phone at around 12:30 AM when 100%, then I used my phone to some calls at 9:30 AM.

When I checked my phone at that time, the battery was down to just 51% :eek:

I just have a normal Wallpaper, Bluetooth and GPS turned off and only used the phone for less than 15 mins top since being fully charged, how did all the battery die on me ?

Android Version 2.3.3

Kernel Version 2.6.35.7

Build# VillainROM 1.1

Please need help .. :(
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Did you install the stock XWKE7 kernel like it says in the OP in large red writing (IIRC). You could also install the XWKE7 CF-Root package :)
[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
Hmmmm .. Actually I have the "XWKDD" I'll try "XWKE7" then give you my feedback after testing it for couple of days.

Thanks ..
[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
OK .. here's the thing, I fill up the battery at 11:00 AM with 100%.

I made 2 calls at 11:33 & 11:44 AM for several minutes.

I record several videos for several minutes in HD & take some photos as well. By the way the wifi, data network, GPS and bluetooth are off. It's also in auto brightness.

At 07:44 PM the battery reached 77%.

At 12:00 AM next day I surf the market with wifi for 30 min and left the wifi on with no apps running in the background. At 12:00 PM the battery was died.

In the other hand, the iPhone 3G with the same settings in the same time when the GS2 is died the battery was 45%. The old iPhone 3G completed a day and a half. :confused:

So, what do you think ?
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
smaller screen, different technology, less pixels. The iphone doesn't do multitasking. It also doesn't power 2 x 1.2ghz processors. It powers a (I think?) 400 mhz. Those are some starters :)
[Galaxy S II General] Chronicles404:
Could you post a screenshot of your battery stats?

Settings - about phone - battery usage
[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
Hmmm .. reasonable. BUT, still most of the reviews say that the battery can reache 12 hours in heavy duty.
[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
something weird this time ?? first time the battery usage looks different.

Will, The problem (for me) is not just today.

​
[Galaxy S II General] iCEION:
Please re-post a screenshot of the apps usage in stead of the graph!

I have recently fixed my battery issue. I was getting aound 8 hour the first 3 weeks. But after freezing a single process "wifi sharing" I am now getting 20 hours. My usage is the same. This wifi sharing process would run even when wifi was turned off and also on all the current firmwares. I've spend the last two weeks testing all kinds of things, taken thousands of screenshots on the way.

Let me know if you need more details.

/m
[Galaxy S II General] (•.•):
Wow that is great news ! I will try!

And please give us more details.

Anyone with the battary problem (many here) tryd to replace the battery with another one yet ?

Pls report in a new thread or here!
[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
I tried to freeze the "wifi sharing" through Titanium Backup but it need the Pro version :p is there another way to freeze it ??
[Galaxy S II General] NIPSEN:
My drain, with latitude.
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
I really can't understand all this complaints about battery. Here is a shot of my stat. I didn't use the phone too hard in this period, but it usualy can stay for almost 2 days with 1 charge. I never rooted the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] NIPSEN:
Normal you don't have the problem, your phone isn't awake, how do you setup your phone (wifi, sync, etc)?
[Galaxy S II General] Manafa:
Well, I just made wifi to turn off in idle. Bluetooth and GPS are on all the time, sync with google account (no idea how often it do the sync), weather refresh is every 2 hours. Mail accounts are setted to manual sync. No facebook at all. KE7 firmware.
[Galaxy S II General] NIPSEN:
Manual Sync may be the key, i'll try.
[Galaxy S II General] ChesterZZ:
Any ideas why my battery suddenly dropped like this and then even started increasing without charging the phone ? lol

[Galaxy S II General] iGarni:
I'm going back to the stock ROM and test it. If it's drain my battery as will as the Villain ROM (hopefully not) that means either the Samsung ROM or my battery has a problem.

Hi to all,

is there any method to update ginger yoshi from v1.1 to v1.2

without data lost?

My phone is Dream 32b!

Please help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] habitat22:
Normally, you first wipe, and then flash Rom!

Try it without wipe, and only flash the Rom!

Maybe this works, or you have to download your apps again!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenapple88:
Well this is possible, all you have to do is use Titanium Backup..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenapple88:
Follow these steps.

1. Install Titanium Backup.

2. Do a backup either "Apps+System data" or preferably "App" only.

3. Reboot, wipe or superwipe and flash the new ROM as per instructions.

4. Boot into ROM and install Titanium Backup.

5. Recover the backed up data..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] casello:
hi,

I have also this problem: when i set cpu speed at 614MHz the phone reboot continuously after few minutes!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] italia0101:
Yea the app is perfect. But its not just YouTube.com, if I go to engadget and click on a video in HD then its choppy.

After the 3.1 update for the xoom the 720p playback is smooth... should be here also?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stephen289:

So, i'm not the only one who can't play 720p flash videos. Every video i tried there is stuttering. It's not smooth in the browser.

BTW: I have a a problem with my abos in the youtube. I'ts crashing every time i click on the section in the app. This is really annoying.

Has the screen sensitivity improved?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evensen007:
2 things to try:

1. On the stock browser, set the plug-ins in the settings to "on demand". That way you don't have banner flash ads rolling while you try to launch the embedded flash video.

2. Try it on Opera mobile or Dolphin HD with the same "on demand" settings and see if that fixes the browser video flash issue.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimDan22:
Youtube app uses regular mp4, no flash

Best comparison would be to go to youtube.com and look at the the videos

Youtube App is way faster though, full screen has no lags, but i havnt tried it on the site yet

My HTC EVO ****s on these things....
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] orange808:
The ability to type without looking or thinking about what you are doing is teenaged?

I've tried touchscreens and seen how fast people type on their phones. They claim they are fast and accurate on the touchscreens--they never are.

I took notes through college on my Sidekick. I wrote my papers in the notepad. I hacked out code in the notepad.

Touching the screen is a joke and doesn't provide the ability to do any meaningful content creation.

Ask somebody that has a touchscreen about the funniest thing the phone accidentally typed for them in a message. Everybody has a story; that's a problem. There shouldn't be any stories.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mewsik:
Hi,

Just updated to 3.1 yet the Asus email app still will not show inline or embedded images in emails. It saves them as attachments.

Things i have tried

Sent the email from exchange to my gmail and viewed. Images will show

downloaded 3rd party app "Touchdown" Images will show"

when i click show pictures, images still won't load.

tried deleting my account and reloading it.. Nothing

updated from 3.01 to 3.1 and still nothing

Im running out of things to test as to how to fix this. This has to be a decent issue because it should affect everyone that uses the standard email app on honeycomb for exchange should be having this problem and if not can you think of anything you have done to fix it or that would be different to my setup.

Items to note:

My exchange account is on 2007

using stock ROM not rooted
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
I got the Honeycomb 3.1 update this morning and my first expectation was the email client got fixed! It was not. I'm kind of sad/dissapointed.

The email client still does not display the embedded pictures correctly.

I have 2 Exchange accounts, and the strange thing (from my own setup here), one of them actually works displaying the embedded pictures after the 3.1 upgrade.

The other one still does not work.

I believe the one that works is an Exchange 2003 account. The one that does not work is either Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 account. But I know its newer Exchange for sure.

Previously both did not work. So, they did fix something, but not all.

GMail client works great, no issue with the embedded image.

The other issue the email client still has, and not fixed, is that it still stops working after the tablet loses its connectivity for certain period of time. When the connection is established again, the email client will stop working and simply shows the spinning circle without any ending or fetch any new emails.

After the 3.1 upgrade, the same issue is still there... sad...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mewsik:
Its dissapointing in many ways because i bought this tablet for work purposes and the most essential iteam on the tablet fails to function correctly.

Its obviously able to be fixed because other email clients like touchdown dont have this problem. The reason i dont want to use touchdown is that i should not pay 20 bucks for the priverlage of this issue being fixed. Also thw stock widgets are much betterthan touchdowns.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] VoXHTC:
Yes. Highly disappointing. May return this piece. I know Asus and their updates. Worse than Samsung.

Update? Why?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mewsik:
I really like the idea of the asus transformer, i did not want to get an ipad2 but when the simple things dont work the way they should it gets frustrating. Its not like the emailapp is re inventing the wheel. How can third party apps get it right but not ASUS.

Even my htc desire using htc mail works fine and show inline pictures without fuss.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] lie_ui:
don't be mad with Asus. The email client is Honeycomb built in native email client.

The one Asus built in only the home screen wigdet (that shows the number of unread emails).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mewsik:
What is the difference between the stock email client and third party email clients that make ebedded images work?

I noticed a issues log on google android website that this issue has been going on since 2008.

If google want to provide a os thats geared to business to steal market share from RIM you would think that something as simple as fixing this would be some kind of a priority.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Mewsik:
Spoke with Asus. They were able to replicate the issue with their own exchange accounts. All they said was they don't control how the stock email client works nor can change it and it would be up to Google to fix it.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
here's a reply from chainfire on his blog responding to people who ask if 2.3.3 can be rooted:

Posted by Chainfire on 01-06-2011 at 13:36:23

As stated many times before, GingerBreak only works on VERY specific Android builds. If it doesn't, there is little I can do about it - the exploit has been fixed in your Android version.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
Yeah, i think the fix to the exploit got put in the android repository with 2.3.4, but some 2.3.3 firmwares released after 2.3.4 (e.g. the arc's) have included security fixes from 2.3.4 (e.g. in the list of fixes in the 2.3.3 update sony said theyve included the fix for the bug which potentially leaked userdata to apps).

If this is the case and the exploit which gingerbreak utilised is now patched in the arc, it's likely we arent *ever* going to see a gingerbreak which will root 2.3.3

Think i might finally have to unlock my bootloader...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jatt101:
we dont know that yet, im sure the devs will find a way to root without unlocking your bootloader, just be patient
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
Oh, i dont doubt we'll see one eventually... it just that it'll be via a new exploit, not just via a minor tweak to gingerbreak. The point is that it may be a while, and i dont think i can be bothered to wait that long, because i just realised something:

If the only reason i'm holding off unlocking the bootloader is that SEUS wont work any more, yet i'm refusing to use SEUS to update anyway because there isnt a working root for the latest update, then i think i might be an idiot. :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kistigun:
i'm also thinking about unlocking, dont care about updating with seus. about warranty?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:
LOL +1 ...i'm having a 'lightbulb' moment here
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daveybaby:
I dunno... if the thing fails physically, e.g. screen goes wrong due to manufacturing fault, buttons fall out or something, then i suspect you might get it fixed under warranty regardless (but SE might be hard nosed bastards about it, who knows). It's a risk...

The way i see it, the thing most likely to happen is i balls it up flashing a custom rom or something, which is my own stupid fault anyway (hope we get a working nandroid/recovery at some point though)

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animboo:
the only good reason to root the arc is to remove all the bloatware that can speed up the arc exponentially, then the customization thing, that's a big plus for me and eventually the custom roms.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] refract:
I haven't had the time to root my phone yet, but if I use gingerbreak to root Arc and remove all the bloatware, then update to 2.3.3, will the bloatware return or ?

Cause I don't really care about root until we can mod JIT, just want to remove bloatware.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] animboo:
yes all the bloatware will return as you are basically installing it again by flashing it to the phone.

WARNING: Article on Gingerbreaking 2.3.3 does not apply to the LT15i

I did a search on "GingerBreak" 2.3.3 and an article came up saying how to Gingerbreak 2.3.3 phones, even saying it could be done on the Xperia Arc

Soo, I went ahead updating my phone to 2.3.3 via SEUS and ran Gingerbreak on it afterwards. No go..

SO, IM ****ED until theres another exploit done on LT15i 2.3.3

I had the all the crap cleaned out with Titanium, now everything is back and theres no way to downgrade. Thinking of returning the whole thing to the dealer just to get a phone with the Gingerbreakable ROM on it but I´ll probably wait for a 2.3.3 exploit.

Yes very nice graphics, but a car racing game, like Asphalt6HD with the quality of RiptideGP would be very nice for me.

Because Riptide is only racing aroung maps, nothing else..

In Asphalt6 you are able to tune your car, change cars ect.

Asphalt6 graphics are not much better than "nonHD" games..
