Just because the percentage is high, it doesn't mean there's a bug. It all depends on what else the phone was doing.

The app usage list shows how much battery each app uses relative to other apps/processes. If the phone has largely been sitting in your pocket all day, you won't have had apps running to use CPU (and therefore battery), and the screen won't have been on much. Therefore, of all the things actually using battery, the Android OS set of processes are using relatively more than anything else.

This, of course, means nothing if you're getting good battery life. The phone is using hardly anything, and 65% of "hardly anything" is still "hardly anything". There's nothing to worry about.

The only time when you need to worry about high Android OS percentages is if you're seeing high battery usage. If Android OS is using most of the battery, it usually means there's a system process that's going out of control, or that your phone isn't going into a deep sleep. You can use BetterBatteryStats to check for processes that are keeping your phone awake, and CPU Spy to check if your phone is ever entering the deep sleep state. If you can't find anything that looks a likely culprit, you can always flash a different kernel. There are plenty of custom kernels to choose from, or you can always use CF-Root if you want to try a rooted stock kernel.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Sorry I guess I wasn't clear... I use my phone pretty much all day and I'm having crazy high battery drain... when i take it off the charger at 100% and use it 2 hours, im down to 55% with roughly 70% Android oS and 2X% screen... definitly not right. I'm getting 8 hours on my best day usually around 6 before I have to plug it in. I know there is not a bug in the ROM. It was fine for weeks. Ill try a different kernel again (IV tried 4 now) and see if that helps... FYI my screen brightness is set to 60%.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Hmm do you play a lot of Asphalt 6? That apologize is known to drain battery immensely. Also, 60% is kind of high for screen brightness. I keep mine at about 35 and it looks brilliant.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Cool, Ill crank the brightness down a bit... I don't play any games. Just surf the web, shop, and xda...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
Lol just realized "app" was autocorrected to appologize. Weird. Anyways glad you knew what I meant. Also maybe your sync settings are affecting battery? A lot comes into play when talking about battery life. Personally, I get the best battery life on Cognition and now it seems like KI3 has improved battery.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] benlc:
Kind of have the same. First a little trick, you can adjust your brightness by long pressing on the notification bar and dragging your finger left or right to change the brightness according to what you need ( generally when there's no sun you can drag it to the minimum ). Remember that no matters what the screen is what's using most of your battery in normal usage. My problem is Android OS being incredibly high since a week or two. I don't really blame cognition for that since it's been running fine for a while before the drain appeared ( now I'm losing between 30% to 45% battery life during the night, I think it varies depending on how much I sleep... ).

If this can help here is what I noticed and what I'm gonna do :

_ I tried calibrating the battery ( properly, so after a full charge and letting it completely discharge and charge again without interruption ), it didn't work

_ Better battery stats doesn't bring up anything special in the wakelocks, but reports an abnormal awake time

_ CPU Spy + built-in android battery stats reports pretty often no real deep sleep.

Being an "advanced user" ( i mean that the way that I know the tricks to save battery and how to track a battery draining app ), I suspect something a bit ****ed up internally, and I see only two solutions :

_ Reflash kernel / flash another kernel

_ Full wipe + reinstall cognition

Good luck
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Are you running ki3 kernel? If not, what kernel are you running? Autocorrect is my enemy! ;-) There will be wars in the future because of it! LOL!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AV1985:
Cognition is so reliable, I don't want to try any other ROMs!

But a lot of new updates seem to have come out, with Firmware KI4, some new tweaks, etc. Are we likely to get a Cognition update soon?!

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] dj_poo:
his waiting for galaxy s2 phone from at&t

so for anytime soon no more update :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sagy101:
I really like this ROM but as other ROM'S progress to KI4 and got a lot of new tweaks, it's getting more tempting to switch ROM'S, I tried to give the developer time as i am a developer too but as almost all other ROM'S have already got their update... it seems the developer had enough time.

So bottom line, please release an update soon or at least a ETA for it and if your planning a big update and that's the reason for the long wait please inform us about it or if you sadly stopped working on your great ROM please also inform us of this situation.

Thank you in advance.

edit:

Sorry just saw this, you posted it at the same time.

ummm so your saying that there will be no updates at least until October,2?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Wow today it's September, 30 such a long time to October, 2 :eek:

If you are so in a hurry to get updates to this perfectly stable/working rom, maybe you better make your own one, or change to other ROMs.

I don't think messages like yours ("I tried to give the developer time as i am a developer", what the heck!!!) make designgears change his plans and start working harder on his little baby...

The only think I know for sure is that we have to say a big THANK YOU to developers like designgears that give us the opportunity to get the best out of our devices without asking anything back for this benefit...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sagy101:
wow wtf man i didnt wrote it as in your quote

i just wanted to know the plan so i could know what to do: wait or...

after i saw the massage that said he was waiting for att release i said:

Sorry just saw this, you posted it at the same time.

and just asked if the release date is October,2?

i said i gave him time becuse i did wait without knowing that his plan is to wait for att after i read that i said i was sorry i even wrote the first time:

So bottom line, please release an update soon or at least a ETA for it and if your planning a big update and that's the reason for the long wait please inform us about it or if you sadly stopped working on your great ROM please also inform us of this situation.

meaning i wanted an update or to know what the plan is.

i am very grateful for his time and effort, i just didn't knew why he didn't released the update and after i read the plan i apologized.

no need to be this aggressive, and don't quote only 2 lines out of 20 because it makes it out of context.

maybe he should write that he is waiting for att in the main post just to let people know the situation and by that avoid unnecessary question.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aqualeris:
On litening, and I would like to perform a wipe to Cognition. But I'm unsure of the full wiping process so I would like to ask for some advise. Can't seem to find any guide on wiping so can someone correct me?

The steps I WOULD take:

1. Backup all apps on titanium.

2. Wipe the caches and phone via CWM. (cache or phone first..?)

3. Um.. what happens after this? Does the phone becomes reverted to stock rom/kernel or something?

4. Whatever it is, flash cognition.

5. Install titanium and restore apps? Do I restore system data or just apps with data?

Sorry. Really confused on wiping process. Would love to try it out myself but if anything goes wrong, I'd be in big trouble. Hopefully someone could help me.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Sorry sagy101 if I misread in your previous message some "arrogance" that wasn't intended, and for being a little aggressive, but sometimes you come to read posts (not your case, now that we clarified) where people seem to expect some kind of support from the developer like it was due and paid for...

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

I came to Cognition from Litening like you ;)

1. also do a full backup in CWM so you can revert to the previous rom with no hassle if something goes wrong

2. I did wipe phone - cache (even if phone should do it) - dalvik

3. no the phone at this point is "empty" and useless...

4. flash Cognition

5. install Titanium but do not restore system data, let Google synch all your stuff

6. with Titanium do selective restores of your apps (the less you restore the better it is...) when you really can't do a fresh installation from the Market

Let us know!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xdaver:
When I installed cognition s2 1.51 it disabled the double home press function thus letting me use quickdesk with double home (which is very convinient!). But now I installed a new theme (blue matte) and it somehow re-enabled it cuz quickdesk doesnt work anymore with double home tap, so I just wanna know which file in the rom is responsible for this function, and how to ''re-install'' it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] King Shady:
+1 . To the guy who was complaining about no updates: DG doesn't owe you ****. He does this for fun and to help out the community. So honestly you asking him for updates is very arrogant and ignorant of you. You should learn to be less greedy and more cuatious of others.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aqualeris:
Regarding steps 3 to 4. So if the phone is empty, how do I move the Cognition file into my sd to flash it? Will the phone still be able to connect to the PC through USB?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
You can copy the Cognition zip file before nuking Litening or mount your card in CWM and connect via USB (1st solution safer...): the 16 gb internal memory won't be erased by CWM when you do the "wipe phone"
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
2.3.5 Only Gmail apk improved...Nothing else of note...Not worth flashing, Certainly not worth spending time developing.

Although there will be developers that do so because they know there will be those who will blindly download their ROM because 2.3.5 is on the title.

DG develops when there is GOOD reason to and a discernible improvement can be had.

BTW That's a good thing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Hey DG, when you get your AT&T SGSII, and since the NFC function is built into the battery, can you add the functionality to the euro version? That way if we decide to buy the AT&T versions battery we can have NFC. Engadget just released the AT&T SGSII review and said the NFC is built into the battery that is identical to the euro battery. If that's so, we should be able to simply stick it in... of course we need the software to enable it. Just a thought!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sagy101:
if that is true, 1) that very cool and 2) i join that request.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] benlc:
I don't know for sure but in my mind the NFC chipset should be just linked to the NFC chipset which is in the phone to increase the signal.

Hoping of course for me to be wrong.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sagy101:
i know of a exciting sd cards with nfc for sony cameras, and it has noting to do with increase the phone signal btw.

its a different chip-set like Bluetooth but for really close distance (a few cm).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Hi daddymatt, you're right, the NFC chip is inside the battery, here it is a screenshot from Engadget...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/30/atandt-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review/

Nice to know that (in theory) our Galaxy S2 will be upgradable to NFC :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
Just as I predicted a few months ago with NFC being on battery as tests were being conducted. But we need to establish what and how it connects to NFC. Incase there are any other internal modifications.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
I don;t know about many here but I for one don;t want any part of NFC. I will use the card and not worry about losing my phone or electronic charges I did not intend to make. That's going a tad to far for my tastes and I do all my banking online
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
It's the future, currently not widely used in the UK but next year in London we will see some roll outs. Some vendors already have similar systems in place but I think it is something for the near future that will kick off eventually. Security being the main issue.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xxhorseriderxxx:
I really wish that this would be updated to KI3 =[
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
Just an update.... HOLY CRAP, I DISABLED GOOGLE AUTO BACKUP IN SETTINGS AND IM ON 8 HOURS AND 87%!!!! I guess I got to the end of that.... Android OS is down to a respectable 21%... thank goodness!

Yeah, from what IV seen, the internals of the AT&T SGS2 is identical to that of the i9100. The NFC is solely in the battery. And NFC is for WAY MORE than just credit cards... open up your mind and think out of the box... its pretty wide open! I WANT IT!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Wha does NFC do I cannot do with BT other than credit and/or commercial transactions?

NFC is primarily for transactions... I recently got on a flight with my "phone boarding pass" But next time I will use the paper one. I don;t see using my phone for consumer services. I use BT for peer to peer file swapping.

NFC is too commercial for me.. I don't want to swipe my phone to purchase things or get through a toll booth or see a movie. I draw the line at having my phone be a device worse than a wallet to lose. Since its handled a lot more and easier target.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ayamary:
OK guys, tbong's verdict is in. Everyone including corporations must abandon NFC. Don't add NFC support to anything because tbong does not want it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] thanksgiving60:
LOL

well freaking said
[Galaxy S II Android Development] crachel:
You can create your own NFC tags very cheaply (< $10) and place them on your desk, in your car, on your nightstand, or on any car/desk dock and use an app like NFC Task Launcher to have those tags do any number of things. Tasker integration within that app essentially makes it limitless. The tags are only about the size of a quarter and I have one that turns my NS screen off when I set it down on my work desk, just as a for instance.

For further NFC functionality way above and beyond commercial applications, check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=980741

Now, let's stay on topic for Cognition because as of this moment, NFC is OT.

finally looking at installing a custom ROM - does this one show receive time/date in SMS or sent time/date?

Sorry if it has already been asked, but I couldn't find it with a search.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Radikaal:
Belive me its worth getting KI3 base, everything is MUCH smoother, its like the UI runs from graphics, no menu lagg at all, homescreen scrolling is tons smoother (with default touchwiz). Batterylife is also much better on usage with stock kernel (even compared to UV ones).

This is from closely testing by me (battery usage, did exact same usage with same brightness etc), and reviews from about hundreds of people who tested it.

Just think its strange the perhaps most popular rom havent been bothered to implement it yet, it is really a huge change.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
There is a reason this is the most popular ROM....LOL

According to DG Not much happening there. I cannot see how this SW could get any "smoother." I have zero lag and am not reading of any issues with Cog in that regard.

I trust DG on this one. Even on the Captivate he was never the first to run to the latest release to the benefit of his many users. Those who have the flash addiction will find plenty of ROMs with 2.3.5 to try out and enjoy.

I am pretty much "if its not broke" and the developer I follow knows best. His work has more than proven that.

Any particular folder in my sd like root folder or is any folder safe? So if wiping in CWM doesn't wipe my SD card, things like pictures and music will still be intact?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vuoflfan:
att version?

Will this work on the att galaxy s2 version I777...???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] SergioA:
Any folder of the internal 16 gb memory (i've not tried with the sd) is fine, use the root so it's easier to navigate to it in cwm when applying the update.

Yes your sd card and internal data storage aren't deleted, only system files, installed Apps and their settings
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aqualeris:
Thank you so much! Will give it a go. :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AndreiLux:
With all due respect to DG, nobody gives a crap about what the Android changes are. KI3 is more about what the Samsung changes are, and in that regard this is the biggest update to the firmware since the phone's been out. 2.3.5 itself is meaningless yes but there's more to that, and in this regard it's improved battery life, many interface fixes/changes and so on. Part of the performance boosts and audio quality improvements are due to the new kernel and drivers, which of course will be something hard to build into a custom ROM since you give up a lot of custom kernel features, at least until the new source code comes out.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
+ 1 people don't tend to think of the changes implemented by Samsung themselves, sure Google add incremental changes but it's deeper than that. I think Samsung are getting it right still more to do but each update is starting to bring something better and this KI3 is certainly an improvement on past releases.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] novanove1:
Cognition ROCKS!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] daddymatt:
I'd give it a day or two and let DG get hi hands on his... but I'm an amateur so that's just a guess.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Neo.:
Couldn't agree more on this one
[Galaxy S II Android Development] tbong777:
Well I may be alone in preferring Cognition S2 right now over the stock Samsung features. I don;t see enough to want to go through the Odin multi file process then CF Root and all that. I'll wait for a CW Zip version

I read the Samfirmware blurb and then this:

Main features of I9100XXKI3 Firmware

It has Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread version

Amazing battery life as far as i have noticed in one day

Market 3.1.5 (check screen shot below, Just leave the Market open for 5 min it will update automatically)

New visual effect (You can see blue shade on bottom while scrolling down) apparently bounce is gone due to Apple issue

Still no Gtalk Video inbuilt

Both System power saving and Custom power saving mode available (already have this but use Juice defender anyway)

Swype version 3.8.86 (I use Flex T9)

Battery life is not an issue for me as is, Scrolling smoothness is as good as I can possibly see. I don't have any noticable issues with performance, Sound IS an issue but I am used to Voodoo on the Captivate and I doubt Samsung will make it there. Wasn't on the list of main features.

I don't use Touch Wiz or Swype (FlexT9) so all that improvement doesn't work for me. I do use Skype and it works well.

There are lots of places to download and flash custom ROM versions of KI3...This isn't one of them right now and seems likely won't be for awhile until DG gets his ATT SGS II. DG has never been in the "race to be the first" but nearly always has the best ROM when it is finally released and worth waiting for..

You should spend more time reading this thread and less time asking questions that have already been answered. I am not trying to be rude to you, but all the info you seek is available already in probably the last 10 pages or found by using the search key.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Logi_Ca1:
I'm currently on Cognition now, and went over to VillainROM 3.0 in search of 2.3.5 (or rather as you say, Samsung KI3 :) ) Went back to Cognition in 20 minutes. I don't like the way VillainROM does things.

Totally agreed with you, it's about the changes that Samsung has added. Hope to see a Cognition based on KI3 soon!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] NZgeek:
DG has only just picked up an AT&T SGS2 (about 10 minutes ago, as of me posting this). They'd sold out of stock in his area, but it looks like he was lucky enough to find one.

I'd expect to hear something from him in the next few days. He'll no doubt report that either the ROM is working fine, or that he's had to make a new release with whatever tweaks are needed.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yaronAD:
+1+1

And besides that...have a little perspective people....!!!

The last Cong. ver. >>> one of the best !>>> is only one month out....and the new KI3 is only one week out?

So another week or 2 ? wont make any differences .

just enjoy your phone :) or change it's look&themes if your are looking for "something new":D

The next months will bring us more upgrades than we can "Chew " ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] :
Not to be rude, but tested villain a few times and can only say.

For me a stock repartitioned rom with root everything installed that im used to is even faster in any way.

If yoir used to the smoothness of cog the only option are waiting and/or run stock rooted with CF-Root.

But just read on twitter that DG found a new GS2, and is gonna mod again.

Got my GS2 now on 2.3.5 KI3 for while and am quite satisfied with it, would love to see some Cog. magic added to that bu we'll see what it will be when it comes ;)
