No Gtalk - No Battery Issues

Just thought I'll share my battery life battle findings here - there's no science behind it, just my personal experience.

I have found that my battery life improves significantly (lasts almost 30-40% longer) in a day of usage when I sign out of G Talk.

I am always on WCDMA with push mail and sync on all day long. If I keep G Talk signed in, I am left with just about 5% battery at the end of the day (I normally plug it in for charging before I sleep). If I keep myself signed out of G Talk, I find that I am left with about 30% battery when I plug it in for charging before sleeping.

I recently completed a couple of full battery drain cycles (kept it on till it switched off on its own) - this helped a little more and my battery is now at around 40% when I plug it in.

Edit: For reference, I am on the KG3 ROM and I have found it to be the best balance between performance and battery life for me.
[Galaxy S II General] Mr.Raviteja:
Any one using Other Countries FW? I am thinking if I flash a new FW my problem might be solved...Any one using 2.3.4 on Stock rom? I don't want to root......I will use the Other Countries FW (2.3.4) till it is released in India.

EDIT: Nevermind Fixed the problem my self..Click on format USB storage (Mobile storage) and it fixed

KH3 or KH4??

Thanks for the info, digi_fort. There is KH4 also available now, have you tried that? If yes, then which is better....KH3 or KH4?

Is this the Rom to be flashed? : GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKH3_I9100XXKH3_I9100OXAKH3.exe (262.73 MB) And will flashing this Wipe my data? Do I need to back up my apps using Titanium? Please confirm.

And did you flash the India specific CSC after flashing the XXKH3? This is the CSC for India available on XDA : CSC_INU_I9100ODDKF3.exe

I intend to upgrade via Odin to KH3 taking the following steps, just confirm if they are correct. I am currently on CF-Rooted Stock kernel KF3.

Step 1 : Flash the XXKH3 ROM GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKH3_I9100XXKH3_I9100OXAKH3.exe (262.73 MB)

Step 2 : Flash the India specific CSC : CSC_INU_I9100ODDKF3.exe

Step 3 : Flash CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KH3-v4.1-CWM4.tar to re-Root.

Please confirm if these three steps are correct for upgrading my firmware? Thanks a ton.

Cheers!

Guys I want to Order a HDMI-HDMI cable from ebay..Can any one say a good seller..I want 1.5 Meter cable
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
I have a no label HDMI - HDMI cable approx 1 meter bought it for 500/- from a popular electronics market in delhi some 1 yr back. See most of the cables are alike has 2 magnets at 2 ends checked it's counterparts in chroma they cost some 1500-2500. What i did was tested my cable by attaching my laptop to one of the LCD's at his shop. The vendor told me there is no issue with the cables that thye or any one sells (cost varies due to brand / packaging / looks) just that when you connect it to the device if it clicks it clicks i was lucky mine did. :D

Hey Big Bloody somethin

Dude never never never leave your phone in charging while you goto sleep. Screws up the battery bigtime. This was personally advicsed by a friend who's into mobile business. He says haly the batteries come to him for replacement are because guys do this. :eek:

KG3 is significantly better than KF3 the indian stock ROM. I realised it when some one talked me into flashing a stock ROM for diff region (just like i do) the performance and the battery increase was significant :D

Here's one of the posts which gives on more tips to improve your battery life.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17508828&postcount=1151

Thanks for the GTalk signing out tip will try it out and Hit "Thanks" for you if it works ;)

Hey TheMegastar,

Love it when u guys like what i've posted :D

Nope i've not tries the KH4 although there's a thread that discusses the shortcomings of the ROM.

You can do that or you can try out one of the Frankenstein pacakages by intratech it has a multi CSC ROM so that we may be able to access APN and network data from our own region. I dunno if there's one for XWKH4.

No i did not experiment that much personally i'm waitin for a 2.3.5 coming by the end of this month if i'm not rom my next flash will be then will keep you guys posted on that. :D

Are you already root ? Yup the steps seem to be in order keep your existing ROM as a backup in case of a boot loop also it would be good if you could break in between steps say use a little to see everything is in order before proceeding to the next step. :D

Also backup all the importante apps and stuff before you flash i believe if you are root you must be using titanium (it's like the Pam Anderson of apps just wanna to root to try the bloody thing heard so much about it.) :D

It does seem to me alotta guys are goin maverick and rooting throwing caution to the wind. :D

Hi sanjay,

Seems you've hit the KF3 bug yet again. this is the problem with the stock india ROM you need to update your phone to the latest ROMs out there which have resolved this issue. Follow the link in the thread it has al the details and info required for upgrade.

For 200 /- it's worth the shot. And the repo of the seller is also pretty good i think it's a good buy.
[Galaxy S II General] Harsha Raj:
Yup its hardware issue. But NOT with your mobile; but with your computer. The computer is giving a different volt of charge than what is actually needed so there will be a problem with the capacitive screen. Try with different system and report back.

if you are on a custom rom or have a titanium backup you can get back your market apk either by extracting it from you rom or by restoring it from TB

Regarding FD and Spike ICS Rom?

Needed your input of the spike ics . I am currently running westcrip's ics rom [ have tried wannam lite as well ].

I ideally want as close to AOSP look as possible, including the contacts, phone [maybe with additional functionalities like t9, as in CM9!!], but from the screen shots, it seems as if the spike ics rom is less close to the CM9 look? [ the phone app is samsung's just themed? and doesn't have the additional contacts tab, which is downright annoying!! :( ]..

Please let me know your impression on the ROM by comparing it to westcrip or wannam lite, if you have tried any lately.

Also, read in one thread, that there was a way to check whether Fast Dormancy [FD] is used by the network operator.[Airtel]

After disabling FD, and then checking the GSM status, it shows my state as idle, thus purportedly meaning that it would be better to enable it.

What does it come for you , guys?
[Galaxy S II General] iekansh:
Can't help you out then mate. Someone else might be able to help you out.

Was about to update the last post...

But isn't android market a system app?? How can it get fully uninstalled from the device?? And I also couldn't find vending.apk under system/app.

Hope market gets updated by itself everytime & I don't have to depend on .apks.

That update willprobably happen on its own, needn't worry about it.
