Hey sorry I guess I missed your post.

I have done the following to achieve better battery life:

ROM: criskelo

Kernel: Siyah 2.6.1 (Newer versions have not improved battery life for me)

JKay settings 13.4.1: Auto brightness to darkest

I turn wifi, data, background data & sync off when I go to bed

Check BBS for wakelocks and freeze apps that you don't use (esp sammy bloatware)

Use Gemini app to prevent games and some social app from auto loading

change wifi policy to - "never when plugged in"

turn off market notification and admob

if you wanna go extreme and use black themes in apps and use a dark wallpaper

If I think of anything else I will keep you posted..

When phone is switched off and charged, after the phone is 100% charged the phone vibrates (no beep / sound)

I didn't say I played for three hours, but it was dead for three hours till that time I said. I played Angry Birds for how long, 45-50 minutes maybe, that's max.

Anyway, given it to SC, they will call me up tomorrow, lets see what happens.

But I can't believe how gob these people are, they said at first,

"Hm, looks like software problem. Need to upgrade the software."

I said I've already updated it to latest KL1. Now that's all, they got a point and pushed hard on that,

"Arey dada why did you do that? That's why your problem is happening, every people who upgraded their phone is having this problem. Never do any software upgrade by yourself. That'll permanently damage your phone. Always come to us for that".

I was protesting at first, then I stopped thinking no point in wasting my time with gobs and idiots.

Now that's weird. Using Go launcher for long enough to conclude that it doesn't drain any extra juice.

I am wondering if all Samsung employees across the world are like that? :p

Anyways if you get a new phone..then partyyyy at "Peter Cat"...Chelo kababs ;)
[Galaxy S II General] 3xeno:
You shouldn't have said that really. Acting absolutely dumb in situations like these helps a lot. When one tries to show that one knows more than these guys (Which is universally true - obviously), you give them a latch to hold on to, and deny you warranty / service. :p

Happened twice with me when I had my Nokia N-Gage QD and I over-filled the internal memory (4MB) and got the dreaded WSOD (White Screen of Death) problem. Learnt this lesson then.

[Galaxy S II General] Lost Monk:
You should have told them that they are utter idiots who think wearing a cheap badge on shirt provided by Samsung does not make them Hardware/Software ninja. And that their existence is worthless when you can fool them by flashing the device to original out-of-box stage while making them replace the whole thing.

Anyways it looks like hassle for you now to either resolve the issue or to replace the piece. How many days does it take to get the replacement by Indian standards ?
[Galaxy S II General] Debadatta:
Guys, I had a question in mind. Ice Cream Sandwich introduced a new feature that all the internal memory of the phone will be a single partition. That is, system memory won't be limited to the system partition but the whole memory would be usable and apps can use the whole internal memory.

Do the ICS builds of Samsung have that feature? I guess its really important for me. :(

Best Modem

Which modem are you guys using? I'm currently on KL1, just wanna know if LP1/LP2 is better?

Off late I periodically lose edge/3G and I need to reboot my phone to get back data (3G/H symbol) and be able to browse. Has anyone else faced this?
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
I don't think it's there in the leaked builds. My guess is it's left out since doing something like that will require re-partitioning of the device with possible loss of data even on /sdcard.

Never tell Customer Care guys that you did upgrade etc. Just give the phone, explain the issue and they will repair it happily. The more you tell them, the more it hurts their ego and they do all possible things to f**k things up.

can somebody suggest which files to remove from a ROM.zip to make it from a wipe version to a non wipe version.

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:

[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
It was completely dead after playing (Angry Birds) around an hour. Nothing worked, download, recovery, charging, nothing.

Na, it was on KL1.

I don't use Custom ROM's you know. (Other than the ICS Beta's)

Welcome.

It's a shame that I didn't mention your OP.

Sorry for that.

Least I started. At first I started to say, 'Are you guys like this? Just need a point and all'? Then after seeing their faces I though I was going above needed, and stopped immediately.

But by the looks of their faces I can guarantee that no one ever told them anything or they never have listened to anything *right* from a customer as 90% of consumers think them as God and the ultimate truth.

Where you and I know how f-ing idiot they are.

This is how world is, you've to shut up knowing you can't say the truth and hear gobs from others, for your own benefit.

Agreed.

MX gotta say.

If something can play 1080P FLV files without a glitch then have to mention it.

S/W decoder option is great IMO, however I don't what it does technically.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
@ithehappy remove the battery plug in the charger put the battery in

OR

Try using an external charger

This happens when the battery doesn't have the charge left to boot the phone up

So it can't charge itself

[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yeah it's pretty cool most importantly it sports Launcher 360 which changes my experience of the the ROM :p ...... i always believe that the experience changes with the launcher pretty smooth nice widgets and wallpapers rest is about the same ..... awesome customization effects :p ....... it's pretty cool though although i've received a few FCs when i access the messaging app directly from widget locker mostly for the swype keyboard :)

When your year's up they'll renew your contact for another year .... no one has used it for more than 2 so we don't know when the contact for the second year ends what happens :p

--EDIT--

It's 1$ on the apple App Store so i guess they'll charge the same if they do on the Android Market :p I guess 52 bucks for such good an app is a fair price :D
[Galaxy S II General] OrrPenn18:
It is quite good ... actually it all depends on kernel and additional extra tweaks made by the dev ... criskelo doesn't add unwanted stuff and tweaks, making it one of the best in android dev section :D

Enjoy the ROM ... The themeing is damn too good :D
[Galaxy S II General] digi_fort:
Yup it's pretty good i've been using it for a day and more working fine ..... it's a KK5 ROM BTW ........ i give it a thumbs up totally worth a flash..... Oh btw they've released Checkrom Revo Note HD based on XXLA1 for ppl with Galaxy Note not that i know of any one having that .... what i mean basically a XXLA1 ROM for S2 is not far away :D

[Galaxy S II General] kachrukamble:
I think most of the peoples doesn't using pro version as it costs 260+ Rs.

As you know there is lots of free video player apps available in the market.

Mobo player is also good and does the great job.

so you make your conclusion with android market app details
[Galaxy S II General] Raven'sSight:
VK Stable KL1 is a good ROM. Anyone who is a flash fanatic :D should try this.

Problem With Devanagari Characters in 2.3.7 XWKL1 Browser

I recently upgraded to Gingerbread 2.3.6 XWKL1 upgrade for India. I used Odin for the purpose. The rendering of Devanagari (Have a look at Ikaar, Halant etc. in attachment 1) characters by SGS2 Browser in 2.3.7 XWKL1 is a problem. Devanagari characters are not rendered properly by the browser.

However, when you type in messaging textarea or browser address bar the characters are rendered just fine. (See attachments 2,3,4)

Is there any solution for this problem? I've gone back to Gingerbread 2.3.3 XWKF3. Devanagari characters are rendered just fine by the browser in that version.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Hold on, they said they will inform me after 3 days, they didn't say that they will repair/replace mine. But yes as it's inside warranty they should do.

Charge? I am not giving them a single penny.
[Galaxy S II General] sam142000:
How did you get the Hindi fonts? Have you rooted your phone? Even I have flashed XWKL1 via Odin
[Galaxy S II General] csbhat:
XWKL1 comes with Devanagari support. The only problem is the browser doesn't render all characters as it should. For example, 'Jodakshar' or conjunct characters or combination of characters such as ह्व, त्त as it shoud. A 'halant' is inserted after every character in the conjunct character. For example, त्त is rendered as त्*त, ब्रह्म as ब्*रह्*म. Same is the case with Hrasva Ikaar.

If you've rooted your phone you'll see the fonts DroidIndia.ttf and DroidSansFallback.ttf in the systems/fonts folder. Right now I'm using fonts from 2.3.6 XWKL1 on my 2.3.3 XWKF3.
