Please tell me

Which Version have the best battery life

Battery is very important for me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
i would say this version alongside version1.15 are the best, my phone has just died and im charging it but ill upload screenshots later, im well impressed with battery life in this version:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] holydire:
coming from 1.42 (with changed kernel), do i have to wipe anything? thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] jonny68:
No i never did anyway, ive never had any problems updating any of the versions just copy file to internal SD card and flash via CWM. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fcarmona:
Going back to 1.42 waiting for spanish and select word in swype. Thanks Desing
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cigaro78:
Answering my own post - solution was a reinstall through Titanium backup.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] cigaro78:
Battery life

Comparing battery life between users is nonsense - everyone usage pattern and apps is different.

So here's what I did:

- using better battery stats, removed all apps causing wakelocks

THEN:

- with 1.40 on, charged to 100, rebooted, left the phone as such for 3 hours

- with 1.50 on, exact same test

Nothing was changed between the two test. No new apps, no new settings, nothing. SAME physical location.

Result:

NO DIFFERENCE in battery life. Phone sucks about 33% every 8 hours while on standby (that's 24h on complete standby).

With normal usage (NOT standby), I have about 8 hours of battery life in the phone (that's heavy usage, and I have 200+ apps installed, 20+ widgets, etc).

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spradling:
DG have you ever thought of making a Kitchen?

IMO it would be great, because some people prefer Call Recording others not, some Overscroll others Bounce, some Increasing Ringtone others not, etc, etc.

You should get Juice Defender.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eatonjb:
The battery seems pretty decent .. but I use the hell out of my phone. with a 3500mhA battery.

it seems that the Android OS still uses more battery then even the screen. Running Juice Plotter, Trying the Ninphetamine Kernel just in case. but still seems to drain.. perhaps I am just crazy.. just wondering. I don't think I am running too much in the background. 3 Gmail accounts, nothing really else..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] CaspaTheGhost:
I saw it and that's what I was referring to... The MOD has simply been updated to KH3 so it will work with the KH3 version of this ROM...

[Galaxy S II Android Development] chris2busy:
Just to give my feedback..

I been getting MUCH better battery once i deleted any contacts i had in my sim card..Don't ask me why, but the phone does not seem to like contacts there..its the only thing i have changed in quite a while and have been getting great results..its NOT placebo..

(could be though, some sort of conflict with 2x same contact)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] KennyLegend:
What's this "better battery stats" you mentioned? Can't find it in the market.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mariotme:
Its on xda ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] reala:
Cheers!

Anyway, the mentioned "Call Recorder Pro (still free)" app is doing it's job perfectly, much better than the CR button, similar to LivePVR what I have used for Symbian s60. Very confortable to choose what to delete afterwards.

Having the CR option is not an obsession and not really for sex calls, but sometimes it does come handy (providers, and so on...).

Hey designgears,

Great rom so far, but why is the older gmail version included and not the new one?

Anyone else having insane wakelocks ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omniwolf:
no wakelock issues here. getting 15-20mA drain while in standby - about 1% battery drain an hour.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
I haven't tried Vlingo, but I have added back some of the widgets.

If you've tried to install the widget pack but it didn't work, you may need to update the APKs. This is really easy to do:

Open the widget package .ZIP file in WinRAR (or similar).

Browse to the system/app folder.

Find any widgets you don't want and delete them.

For widgets you do want, go to the removed APK page and download the appropriate files.

Drag and drop the downloaded files into WinRAR. This should overwrite the same-named files in the ZIP.

Copy the updated ZIP file to your phone and install as normal.

This worked just fine for me, and I've used the same packages on a colleague's SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] demonofsteel:
Yes, I have major issues with wakelock since 1.5. I always do a full wipe before upgrading, but I'll do that again right now.

I updated to 1.5 about 20 hours ago and I needed to charge my phone 3 times (I'm at the 3rd recharge right now). I used to be able to do between 1 day or 2 with a single charge on previous releases.

I didn't get the chance to look for the cause of the issue, but I'll try to look at that if the problems happens again.

***EDIT: I can't believe it's fine this time... I always flash the same way. I must admit I was kind of hoping the issue would come back so I could find what was causing that. ***

[Galaxy S II Android Development] asgard:
I am loathed to be "that guy" but just wondering Designgears if you have a plan or thought on rolling out a maintenance 1.5x shortly or sitting tight until next major.

I ask so that I can advise a "flash it once noob friend" whether to let rip now or delay. If you have no plan either way thats fine too :)

Thanks a lot for 1.50, loving it! Just the few cosmetic issues others have reported. I just can't find another ROM that suits me so exactly!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robt772000:

How to get new Swype?

I want to use the latest swype version on my cognition S2 v1.5. I have the beta invite, but I can't install it without uninstalling the existing swype version.

Can someone please tell me how to accomplish this?

Has someone managed to get this done?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aDEO:
Morning,

Install Root App Remover from Market. Remove Swipe and after that just recycle it. Press thanks :) Done.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] koreancanuck:
Uninstall swype via Titanium Backup and delete libSwypecore from /system/lib. Then do a reboot and install swype beta.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] djnas786:
If you did a search of the thread you would have found your answer as I, as well as others posted this to the thread previously but I will re-post it again for you.

Basically to uninstall Swype on a rom or device in which it was part of the system you will need to delete or rename some files, particularly go to and delete/renamr /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypecore.so before installing the Beta... once you do that you can install any version of swype.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] eatonjb:
someone explain what a wakelock is and how to find it. i did a google search and it was not really helpful..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ragflan:
Very simply, a wakelock is an app or a process that's keeping your phone awake even though the display is off. So it's not letting your phone sleep even though it's supposed to be. More detailed explanation here (http://www.netmite.com/android/mydr...agement.html#androidPowerWakeLocksDefinitions) <-- Someone post a better link if they have it, thanks.

Get BetterBatteryStats (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809) and you'll see WakeLocks as an option. That'll show you what's running even when display is off. If you like the app, support the developer by buying his app from the market (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asksven.betterbatterystats)

The Stock broswer crashs upon opening bbc news page.

I have factory reset,wiped delvik but problem still exists. I have toggled the flash setting to no prevail

I have another gs2 running kg5 touch x rom and the problem do not exist. I notice that when the page opens on the second gs2 it half renders and a pop up dialog asking if i want to download the bbc app...

I think this is what is causing the halt in the browser

Can any one confirm?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] koreancanuck:
The first one is a known bug on 1.5.

Also, according to the changelog, it seems that DG likes that feature so he added it back in. I use Go Contacts though so I never notice.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
I tried this, but found that the Swype beta kept force closing on me. I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out what the real problem was, so I ended up creating my own CWM update.zip to install the Swype version that came with Cognition S2 v1.42. So far this appears to be working correctly.

The zip can be downloaded from here.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] x2srj:
Please delete
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sleepyrohan:
This was the easiest solution and it worked perfectly. Thanks.

But now part 2 of question:

When i get new version of rom, will the swype app be reverted to old one again? Also, will i lose my dictionary data?

PS:

New version of Swype, 3.25, is pretty cool. DG should give it another shot in my opinion.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] kotaro_14:
Flash is perfectly working on my phone. I just played a Flash Video from Newgrounds.com called I Saved the World and it played perfectly.

No crashes no nothing. Loaded flash from PhoneArena, Pocketnow and Engadget.

No crashing at all.

I changed the kernel to Ninphetamine 2.1.1 if that helps anything. I figured out that Tegrak always crashed my phone for some unknown reason, nothing wrong on Ninphetamine's though.

Using Cognition 1.5 of course.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mouki_9:
using 1.42 browser with user agent patch on cog 1.5. (using desktop mode btw)

video on youtube website seems to run fine. only watched a few minutes. not sure when your crashes occurs?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kotaro_14:
I didn't have to any of that. I just un-installed using Titanium Backup 4.xx, installed the new update for the Swype Beta and it worked. Although the version before the update when my phone rebooted erased all my languages, had to uninstall and d/l new installer b/c old one was giving a Parsing Error Message. But the new Swype update doesn't for now.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dannyboyp:

[Galaxy S II Android Development] mouki_9:
bbc news home page indeed crashes the browser, but not sure it is flash that is causing the crash

because when opening bbc news on laptop, i don't see any direct flash content.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] quakermaas:
No

Going to try a different Kernel, see if that makes a difference.

I have just arrived from Motorola Milestone with CM7. I have chosen your ROM to burn, which I really do like.

Two things I would like to request.

Thank you for the extra buttons in the update of the Power Setting on the notification bar. May I ask for an extra one, the sync button, as data plans are ridiculously expensive over here, so maybe not I am the only one syncin' on Wi-Fi only and browsing with Opera Mini (actually, that's my favourite for 5 years) only.

Even torch was on my Energy Widget on CM7, however that one is horizontally scrollable.

The other thing is an option to turn the 1% battery display off completely, or go back to regular -10 till 15% display, as for me it seems it's draining the battery seriously. On the Moto Milestone it did the same, however as soon I disabled it, after a day on a light usage, battery was still on 90% 9 P.M.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
That would be a negative on adding sync, there is no space.

The battery updates every minute, changing whether or not to change the image is not going to help battery life.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] easycure1974:
I have a small bug never seen on any other rom I have tried. I have 24 hour clock but often when I press home or power to wake the phone up it shows the time in 12 hour clock some second. It is on the Samsung default lockscreen. No big deal but somewhat irritating
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
noticed that too, every time it updates the time it changes to 12h then back to whatever you have set in the settings. Nothing I did tho, does that on stock too.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] easycure1974:
Never seen that on stock KE7 before - but I often use Widget locker so it might be thats why I not have seen that before. Any idea about why not the HDMI works anymore?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] designgears:
http://www.mediafire.com/?dqc7wzq9xvb9b39

Flash that with odin the PDA slot, leave everything else as is.

This is the new kernel I am working on, see if it will get HDMI working. I don't have the cables to test that one.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Timpppa:
There was a "no clock" at the notification field file earlier. Is that possible to add to 1.05?

Could you add an alternative battery icon in the next release?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] easycure1974:
It is working perfect when flashed with that kernel!

But my Tegrak overclock reboots the phone when it tries to load the overclock module.

You will lose your current swipe version as soon as you update the ROM even w/o wipe. Simply because the new ROM will overwrite the Swipe app in \system\app. This will not be the case only if there is no swipe included in the new ROM (which should be again no wipe version).

I have attached some screenshots from my test of battery life on this latest version, my usage is always pretty much the same, medium Internet usage, about an hour and a half of music, 5 calls, about 10 texts and general playing around with the phone, I use Juice defender ultimate, i had it set to balanced,usually i have it set to aggressive i would say id have got another 2 hours if aggressive would've been set, i have SetCPU set to On Demand - Min 200- max 800 - profile - screen off - min 200 - max 500 - conservative - 100

I realise everyone's usage pattern is different but my own is always pretty much the same hence the tests would be accurate, im using Ninpho 2.02 kernel as well.

To conclude - decent battery life can be achived if your willing to test and play around with some things, it goes without saying that all Samsung bloatware should be frozen via Titanium, i also freeze Maps as this is another app which drains battery,i rarely use it but if i do i just unfreeze it.
