wow a forum rant from someone with 50 posts....

really???
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cinema4g:
I'm sure this is a question which a lot of lurkers wants to know.

There are a lot of custom roms/mods out now in the development section, but will they work with the SGH-T959P?

I've done searches on this forum and there are no posts that has a solution or answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
Im going to say, probably not. But then again, i dont konw enough about our devices and similarities. hopefully someone else can chime in with the correct answer.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsexton702:
is that the galaxy s 2?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] badb4lyfe:
really dude.. lol... this is SGS4G(sgh-t959v)... so you would be in the wrong section... go look at the samsung fascinate forum which sgh-t959p.... hope that helps and don't forget to thank...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
He has the Fascinate 4G that is on Telus from Canada. It's different from the first Fascinate. Which there is no section on xda yet. I think the U.S. version is SCH-1500 and the Telus Fascinate is SGH-T959D. Both are different from what he has.

Please don't try to flash anything in the regular Fascinate section of XDA. You may brick your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cinema4g:
Yes, to reaffirm that I have the galaxy s2 from Telus in Canada.

So there isn't much support for this phone right now correct? And do you think support is coming soon?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
So then you have a SGH-I9100? Cuz the model number you gave earlier is for the Fascinate 4G.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cinema4g:
Sorry my bad, yes it is Fascinate 4g
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rryanosman:
Can someone please upload an image I can odin flash to my bricked t959p... yes as you speculated, SGS4G and regular fascinate files do not work. sigh.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
But it won't work because they are different roms for different phones, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rryanosman:
Ya... I'm in need of T959P files for my T959P. Telus Samsung Fascinate 4G SGH-T959P.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] krylon360:
if you guys can get me the STOCK build number I can see if I can get you what you need.

ours looks like UVKD1

I need something that looks like that. or just send me the build.prop from a working phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rryanosman:
That sounds promising. Obviously I don't have a working phone... but I do have a set of clockwordmod backups (.android_secure.img, cache.img, data.img, system.img) Would that work somehow?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] crudo:
Hi, I have SGH-T959P phone, where I can upload/send you build.prop?

Thanks for offering to help! I sent you a PM.

He knows he's in the wrong forum, guys. His entire point is there is no forum for his phone. It is *not* a Fascinate, it's a Fascinate 4G, and Fascinate ROMs will soft-brick the phone, just like trying to flash any kind of Galaxy S ROM to our phone will brick it.

Put yourself in his shoes and ask "What should I do? There are 3 - 4 forums out there that deal in-depth with stuff like this, but none of them have development for my phone. I see great strides being made in communities for phones very similar to mine. Should I break convention and ask about my phone in these forums (knowing I'll be ridiculed and flamed into the ground for it and told "wrong forum" 9781273469817264393182764918723469187234619872364 times in the same thread) and hope someone is kind enough to nudge me in the right direction, or should I sit here with my thumb up my ass patiently waiting for the day that my phone gets enough support to warrant it's own forum?"

I know if I'd just bought a phone and found out it was basically a one-off of a phone that had great development, I would be trying to get someone in that development community's attention, too...

It's worth mentioning, also, that System is just another member of these boards, and doesn't speak on behalf of XDA. If you want a forum or section created for your phone, you should PM a moderator or forum administrator.

[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
Just been online and read a few posts about Android 2.3.4 updates on the Nexus, which allegidly suffered from the infamous 2.3.3 battery drains.

But unless i'm mistaken, according to what I have read online the 2.3.4 has not fixed this issue.

Example: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6e382d186ba3dcd6&hl=en
[Galaxy S II General] Cetin:
Omg, please!

Everything's perfect but battery drain is killing me and making the S2 unuseless for me!

I was looking forward to a fix but this message is killing all the hopes!
[Galaxy S II General] Bawezy:
You can check this out http://www.gsmarena.com/android_234_gingerbread_leaks_for_the_samsung_galaxy_s_i9000-news-2761.php

An update although it's for galaxy S. All I'm picking up from the comments is speed. You shouldn't compare other phones with 2.3.4 as it's all down to the manufacturers on how they implement fixes to the ROM. Nexus S has more support so I wouldn't compare the two.
[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
Yup, I am not saying that the 2.3.4 update won't fix battery life on S2, but don't put your eggs in one basket.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Many have confirmed with the SGS1 that Android OS bug is now gone in their 2.3.4 firmware. So if thats the case, I only seem to have bad battery drain when I check battery stats and Android OS is taking up 80% of battery drain - even more than display time. Apparently 2.3.4 should be helping take care of that. We will see though. Until then, I think all we can do is cross our fingers and not assume that it will or will not take care of battery drain and will see when it comes. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] M.N.M:
Seems like the only way to find out is when the 2.3.4 update is finally released for Samsung Galaxy S II.
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Either way, I can't wait to see and keep checking religiously when I can to see if 2.3.4 has been leaked yet. lol
[Galaxy S II General] ziggazee:
Wel I hurd 2.3.4 is better on battery on dual core devices.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I heard what he heard and the folks on the SGS1 forum seem happy. What any of us have "heard" is really irrelevant since none of it has been tested on a SGS2. We'll find out soon enough when 2.3.4. gets released.
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
I bet just putting a new version number on the same release and claiming it improves battery life would anyway have dozen of ppl claiming how much better their battery has become.

Battery is very very subjective ;-)

Personally checking the Android OS time I doubt I would get a lot more battery life from the SGS2 even if it wasn't there. Probably 3h more if the phone is on standby after 3 days, yes, but when using it, 10min?
[Galaxy S II General] dhiru1602:
2.3.4 Leaked Firmware is out for Galaxy S. It still has the Battery Drain Problem.
[Galaxy S II General] turborider:
oooo thats bad :eek: ,i wont upgrade it till everyone say good thing about 2.3.4,staying with 2.3.3 for the moment lol cant face a bad battery problems not when im listening lots of music for many hrs :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] MiG123:
even though it might not completely fix the battery drain problem, I believe 2.3.4 will at least improve battery life across the board.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
Then you can just forget about updating then. Lol.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
Lucky i dont have such a drain :D
[Galaxy S II General] Spybreak:
Yes you do.
[Galaxy S II General] O4web:
Unuseless? :P meaning: useful?
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
He does? I must aswell then, oh wait...nope, I dont have it either, many of us dont have it.

Just because you have some sort of problem, you shouldnt assume everyone does. We all set up our phones quiet differently, which means some are set up better than others. Some on custom, some on stock.

So please try not to make sweeping generalisations.
[Galaxy S II General] Deliximus:
my sgs2 lasts 15 hours on moderate use, pretty damn good. i have chargers everywhere so not a problem.
[Galaxy S II General] skycamefalling:
Well, you still do have this problem. Just because for your set-up and phone usage it doesn't manifest itself as strong as for others that doesn't mean it isn't there.

It's a general bug in Android in combination with the SGSII so it's on your phone too.
[Galaxy S II General] Spybreak:
Every Galaxy S2 that is running 2.3.3 has the Android OS battery issue. Why? because it's a general Android bug that happens whether you are using a custom rom or stock. It's just there, like it or not.

Now, it may be more or less noticeable depending on your usage pattern. Apparently, and from what I've been able to gather on the bug, it's triggered by certain system apps, like the browser. This means that some people might think they don't have the problem because they just haven't triggered the issue on that day due to the way they've been using the phone. From what I've read certain system operations don't stop properly on dual core phones on 2.3.3 and that's what keeps the system running processes on the background and inflating the Android OS meter.

A system bug is a system bug and is present on EVERY phone that uses that specific version. So yes, we all have it, even if you don't notice it.

I've seen days when Android OS would take most of my battery and days when it was at the bottom of the list. It just depends on what you do with the phone that day.
[Galaxy S II General] crypticc:
I had 2.3.4 on my magic. Fixed it and per my other posts the specific patches are known
[Galaxy S II General] kostasalfa:
My android os never ever got past 12% and most of the time is between 8-10 %. No matter how i use the phone.. Getting 11-16 hours of medium-heavy use.. (looots of apps like 16 app drawer pages)

Stock rooted rom ke2.(phone shipped with that) only disabled fast dormacy thing and used atk when screen off to auto kill..no drain whatsover..better life than 2x optimus and desire hd..
[Galaxy S II General] linqiang110:
it s not goog news，i am still looking forward sumsung official will improve battery life
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Well i dont have a problem, whether the bug is there or not. In fact me and a friend (with an iP4) fully charged our phones and ran a series of videos (the same files) until dead. My SGS2 lasted 2 hours longer.

The bug may be there, but it clearly only manifests itself under certain conditions. I havent yet triggered those conditions since i can sometimes go 2 days on a charge.
[Galaxy S II General] Dirky:
Nor me, no battery drain here
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Same her KE2 stock.

I know it's very much up to people and how they use SGS2.

I don't have a lot of widgets and background services running, so for me:

> 1 day heavy/moderate use

> 2 days moderate/mild use

> 6 days Estimated standby (0.6 % per hour ... haven't really tried this for real LOL)

Maby I just didn't trigger this bug?

Only thing I'm really pissed over, is the missing re-flow in native browser :mad:

Think the biggest treat to my mobile at the moment is a crappy firmware update introducing new bugs :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] stoney73:
Seems that it affects some more than others. I honestly have no problems with battery.

The only time i had a problem with battery life was upgrading to ke7. After reflashing and wiping/factory reset, all was good again.

I just get riled when people believe that because an issue affects them badly, that it affects everyone the same way, and that anyone who says different is lying.

I've not actually seen my android OS go above 16%...but....i dont check it every two hours, and each morning I reboot my phone. Just habit.

But anyways....

Everyone has the bug, i agree. Your expanation is quite concise and easy to understand.

But how it affects everyone depends on how the phone is setup/used. I rooted and got rid of the sammy bloat. Not something everyone wants to do.

here's to 2.3.4 fixing it, one can never say that more battery life is a bad thing.
[Galaxy S II General] skycamefalling:
Yeah, that's the point exactly. The more you are playing with your phone the less influence "Android OS" will have onto the whole battery consumption because other components need much more power (e.g. the screen).

With 11-16 hours out of one charge you seem to be a very heavy user so you won't really realize the share of the Android OS load. When you are using your phone like me, with screen off and standby most of the time, than Android OS will take up to 50% of the whole battery consumption and it surely is a bug that the phone lasts maximum 2 days when doing absolutely nothing with it.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Nonsense just because a percentage have a problem does not mean all have a problem . Just like the GPS SGS1 problem some have most dont .

Stock KDD excellent battery KE2 excellent battery KE7 good battery .

Installed a number of task managers battery saving apps etc result battery drains in sleep state overnight from 100% to 10% .

Clean install with Villain rom no apps installed back to excellent battery life 5% overnight drain .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Must be a bug ...

For me 18 hours on standby ... and ½ hour screen etc.

- Android OS 20%

- Android System 20%

Battery went 10% down during those 18½ hour (so in theory I could get 7½ days standby).
[Galaxy S II General] kostasalfa:
How much should a dual core ,one giga ram superphone with many backround SERVICES not apps running in the backround last?? Cmon even two days of total nothing (standby) its ok for me!! Or else i would get a nokia 3210 for really a week standby time!! You cant get that with these phones give em a break!!
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
The real problem most of the time are faulty drivers preventing the device to go to sleep, a bug was fixed for the broadcom driver
[Galaxy S II General] Zakir.Umar:
I finally got rid of my S2, after a whole month of trying all sorts but still miserably failing to get the battery to at least last from morning till night with moderate usage.

I simply cannot put up with bull****.

Those of you who have no issues, lucky you. But there is certainly a serious problem with a significant number of handsets, which is why if you Google it you'll find battery drain is a HOT topic on the S2 on every forum.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
I cant help but think its due to certain widgets or apps. While it might be AndroidOS that's showing up i think it must be certain other things that are triggering it.

Im not an dev or even someone who has any idea how Linux actually works, but isnt AndroidOS a general term for a number of different functions/processes? Could it not be that certain apps or widgets are causing these functions to run continuously and the OS is therefore reporting AndroidOS as the draw rather than the app itself?

I do pretty much the same things with my SGS2 that i did with my Streak or Desire, both lasted me a day, but the SGS2 lasts longer than either of them.
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
Pretty much. Based on the few posts regarding suggestions/fixes, i'm starting to think that it's an user issue. People assume that widgets and apps do not use battery
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I wish more people had your attitude. Based on either your device or your needs the phone didn't work out for you. Instead of posting your thoughts in a zillion threads to no end you took action and moved on. For some, that's the best outcome but they either won't accept it or are waiting for some type of divine intervention. I hope your next device servers your better (and I'm not being sarcastic).
[Galaxy S II General] Danwms:
Would updating this software remove the root?
[Galaxy S II General] RogerPodacter:
Didn't they determine in the huge thread that its related to using wifi vs not and also certain specific type of router?
[Galaxy S II General] blackjok3r:
On my sgs 1 (only had it 2 months before I lost it :( ) I got the android Os bug only when I had a weather app/widget installed. As far as I could tell it was trying to update but I had no internet coverage for it to do so. It was keeping the phone awake and preventing it from sleeping so battery almost drained overnight.

So I am thinking its what apps you have and stuff, and android OS is like a whole bunch of processes, but it seems that its just the phone not going to sleep. So If your using it constantly, watching videos or using the net etc. your arnt going to notice it as its already awake. But if you leave it for ages and expect it not to drain much it will and then you notice it.

We can only hope samsung release a good sleep driver that will force the phone to sleep after a certain time not matter what processes might be keeping it awake.

Getting SGS II in july when it comes available on my carrier.

EDIT: Until then I am back using my 2-3 year old G502 from sony, still smashing a 4 days of battery life with like 3 hours of calls and some texts. Its just **** to use and constantly freezes. Don't know how I used it so long before getting the galaxy s and now I have to used it again until SGS II.
[Galaxy S II General] rovex:
Dont know, i have wifi enabled all the time and its active at home, but not at work. I have no problems with battery drain at any time. The only thing i can think of that im doing that others dont is i use SetCPU profiles and have set a maximum of 500MHz when the screen is off.
[Galaxy S II General] aczelkri:
I have a Galaxy S (not II) so my experience may not cover Galaxy S II, but here's the story anyway.

On Froyo 2.2 JPU I earlier managed to get 6 days without charge (with very moderate usage and a few calls). That's why I became suspicious when my battery went empty by the evening of the first day with 2.3.4 JVP.

So I can confirm that 2.3.4 JVP eats battery. On an empty JVP system, Data, Wifi and GPS turned off it eats 3%/hour. I put back Froyo 2.2 JPU and the consumption is again below 1%/hour (actually 3%/2.5 hours with even a short phone call).

Somebody recommended freezing Samsung Apps and some service called ws???sync with AntTek root or Titanium Backup. I tried this on JVP too but it didn't help. And after factory reset I didn't even find these processes in the very empty 2.3.4 JVP system.

So I'll stick with JPU for now, It also seems to be more gentle with memory usage. The only thing I'll miss is the improved copy-paste operation.
[Galaxy S II General] BackfireNL:
Battery drain? i get more than a full day of use even when using it almost all the time?

I am using TK-ROM 3.7.0. I have wifi on when i'm at home.

No problem here!

As I proceed with my Android4Autism plans I need to have an idea of the types of devices people are willing to donate. I may have to outsource ROM development depending on the device and whether or not I have time to put a working ROM together for each type.

So as the EVO 3D and GSII prepare for launch what will you be doing with your old device? Perhaps you have an old Hero or even a Moment. If you are willing to support this cause please indicate what device you are willing to or able to donate.

Remember the status of the ESN does not matter. These device will NOT be activated. They need to be in "decent" and working condition. Remember these are going to go into the hands of special needs kids so they do need to be perfect.

Also, I can use micro sd cards (any size) and phone cases. Extra battery chargers would be welcomed.

Please indicate in the poll what you are able to or willing to donate. I'm not ready to receive any donations yet so please just hang on to them and maybe shoot me a PM with your pledge and email address so I can contact you when I'm ready. :)
