[Galaxy S II General] safepacket:
a) I see you are on Stock ROM ,try getting rid of sammy bloatwares. Search XDA for apps/packages which can be safely removed/frozen.

b) As suggested above install Bettery battery stats (bbs) try get rid of wake locks.

c) Get cpuspy see whats up with Deep sleep.

d) Disable fast dormancy and use KL1 modem its supposed to be most battery friendly.

e) Redpill is a good kernel, Personally i am on it, But from my testing i always felt that Redpill gave Best results with Hyperdroid atleast thats the case with me. You may want to try other kernels as well Siyah or Phenomenal extreme.

Additionally try sio/conservative combo i get equivalent jucie with noop/conservative.

f) Serach general forum there are loads of threads about Battery saving.

Hi I was going to buy a spare battery today from Ebay...just a little confused which one to go for screenshots attached... One is for rs 549 and the other 1895...both say 1650 mah and both Samsung ???

Does the 2000 mah make a significant difference...anybody using the same...its for rs. 2750 on Ebay..

advice appreciated...thanks
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
One of my friend has purchased it and according to him the difference is ~30%, well if you just calculate the battery is ~30% more juicy than 1650 :)

If I flash a firmware, everything on the phone incl. root is going to be wiped out..is that correct?

Which is the latest official Indian firmware?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 lists XWKE8, XWKF3 and XWKL1.

[Galaxy S II General] drrkgupta:
Thanks for your advices.

I am already on DDKL1 ROM and have already disabled fast dormancy. I tried Siyah and Neak too but the best time was with Redpill. I also tried to freze unwanted applications but then very less applications are freezable.

I will used the BBS application but could not make out which application is causing wakelocks.

Ravi Why do you suggest that I should not leave the battery for charging overnight?

Finally I decide to root my phone!!

Hi everyone,

I'm from Pune and have been following this thread, mostly as a silent spectator. I have always wanted to root my GS2 and try out a custom ROM, but always the fear of bricking my phone has kept me away from doing it.

Finally I've decided to go for it, but the array of information available in XDA is overwhelming. I went through the tutorials, FAQs etc. but i believe I still have some questions & I'm sure you guys will be the best people to show me the correct way.

1. Which ICS ROM is the most preferred now? I won't say best because everyone will have their own opinion. But with regards to usability, speed, battery life and stability, which is the most matured and preferred one I should go for?

2. How will I backup my apps(some of them are paid apps too)?

3. After rooting and then flashing a new ROM, if Samsung releases a new update over Kies, how will I be able to use it?

I would be very thankful if you guys direct me to the correct posts, links and advice.

Also sounds noobish, but best guide to root and flash? Anyone?

Thanks in advance!!
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
You can flash either CM9 or Any custom Rom based on xxlph..I am using Sipke pure ICS 6.1.

Taking backup is very easy.If you have Titanium backup app run a bach opration, Take a app backup and instal on any flashed roms.

When official ICS will roll out in India ( Don't expect to early in India) Flash the Stock Rom with Indian CSC file, then you will be able to update with kies

[Galaxy S II General] drrkgupta:
But I had heard that there was an autocutoff to prevent the battery from futher charging in smartphones like our S2. Any way how do you manage to charge your battery full ..... always keeping an eye on the charging percentage????

I am attaching my BBS log file . Can you help me out to find the program which is draining my battery.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
If your phone hannged ( by chance) while charging, autocutoff won't work. In that case yo're phoe will be keep charging all the time and may cause over heating or damage the device.

Your battery stats suggest nothing wrong. just 6 minute awake and 1 min. screen on which is quite normal.

I don't know which rom or kernel ur using, try diffrent kernel like siyah or neak.

Overnight charging may be the cause of poor battery life. try charging your phone in the morning.

Finally, check your battery, is it usable or need to be replaced...
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
In 3 hours it is hard to find what is draining your battery....Make it 18+ hours...Use is how you use daily but after 18/19 hours post the log here
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
Charge ur phone full and disconnect.Leave it overnight for about 8 hrs.

Morning take a BBS log and upload it.

What u have uploaded is not enough, but

Remove battery level indicator.it uses a lot of battery.

I think u have a live or third party wallpaper - remove it.

In calendar - for any appointment- tick alarm ringtone option

If u have yahoo mail/whatsapp/Facebook apps-remove them

Change ur SMS app;It is too active

Install Titanium pro then freeze unwanted battery guzzling apps.(there is such a list in our gs2 app section )
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
8hrs is not enough for best...Make it 18+hrs he need to use also to know if any app is still running after he leaving...If he just shared log about night than might not be useful much
