[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
I posted this over in the android general section. Hoping someone over here might see it since its on my Infuse.

I have a similar problem that many people have had with downloading apps from the market, however none of the solutions i have seen work. I purchased ADW Launcher Ex from the market the other day and it wouldnt authorize. I replaced all my billing info and then it authorized fine. I click on the purchased button and it authorizes, then says starting download, but after about 5 seconds it just stops and goes back to the bottom of the "my apps" list. I dont get a notification saying the download was unsuccessful, but when i try to download and install again, it says download unsuccessful and just goes through the same process all over again. Anything and everything else downloads and installs just fine.

I have tried wiping data and cache of the market and download manager.

I have restored my phone using CWM to a previous backup.

I have reinstalled my custom rom.

I tried an alternate rom.

I have reset my phone to factory.

I reinstalled the stock rom.

I tried logging out of and back into Talk.

I added another gmail account as well.

If ANYONE has any other ideas PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know. Stupid google hasnt emailed me back yet, so i figured id probably get more help here anyway. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] vagelis:
Your external SD card is causing issues with the mounted filesystem.

Try backing up everything that's on the card in your pc first, and then format the card. See if your purchases load then...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
Tried it to no avail. Formatted the internal sd card as well. still nothing. Thanks for the idea.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tyshemi:
Hey buddy mine did this to I went into red cwm and wiped everyyhing then rebooted try wipe cache then if they doesn't work wipe all fixed mine
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
Just tried that and it didnt work. Downloaded GTG's ultimate unbrick to go back to complete stock. Still not downloading. I have no idea what else i could possibly do.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] VtHondaGuy08:
Try to set up a new account and see if you can down load things through that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
Im able to download everything else just fine with the same account. Its only ADW for some reason.

And of course im still waiting for google to get back to me.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
Dont know why. But it just decided to download all on its own. Thanks for all the suggestions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyMike01:
It takes some time to authorize a purchase sometimes. I bought Launcher Pro, and it said "authorizing" and didn't download. I went to bed and when I woke up it had downloaded.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr0necr0:
I called my bank and they said because it was from out if the country it took an extra day to go through or some crap. All that matters is I have it now.

WTF?

This must be the craziest kernel I ever used, ever.

I've had Nexus One, Desire HD, HD2 ( running Android and WP7 lately) and never ever had anything like this:

Battery dropped 60% in 10 hrs 58 mins ON A SUNDAY which is the silent day of my week

Config as follows:

KF4 installed

WiFi: sporadic( max 10 minutes then off)

BT: Never

Display: not auto and set on lowest: time on= i hr 20

Display background/lockscreen: solid black from PS ( absolutely black)

Voice: 36 m 5s

Syncs: 2 emails and weather widget

2 mins of maps

5 texts

3 mis of HD rec/ 5 pictures taken.

and .... as for the WTF in the title

On cell standby 10 hrs 58 mins

TIME WITHOUT SIGNAL 100% see attached sc.

on week days, I talk around 200 mins daily, 10 email/hr, web browsing 60 mins....

I used the hd2, then I switched to DHD, then back to wp7 on HD2 as primary phone.

DHD was the worst up to now, I had to carry chargers everywhere...I decided to let go of it on Xmas.

As for HD2, I gave it away yesterday to a colleague that is a wp7 dev.

Decided to go for the SGS 2 and the trustworthy Nokia 6300 that I use exclusively for the other 4 hrs (besides the other 3 hrs- yes I talk a lot or someone on my team is handling those calls) of daily calls .

Can't wait for tomorrow to see when the SGS2 is gonna drop dead- my guess it will be around noon.

Does anyone know how to log the running processes or/and the battery drain- without rooting the thingy?

...ohhh I almost forgot...the WAKE UP LOG is KILLING me also...I really hope Samsung comes out with an update soon...
[Galaxy S II General] Chivalryyyy:
well.. i must be 1 of the luckier ones i spose... i seem to get great battery life...

i use auto brightness, updated to the latest stock rom/kernal

played a bit of gameloft games (maybe 20 mins)

made a few phone calls.. maybe 30-45 mins in total

Connected to car via BT for a few hours

connected to home wifi for 24 hours or so...

browed the web for maybe 2 or 3 hours in total

plus a few other bits messin around and stuff... playing with Go launcher.. :)

heres the screenie i took last night before bed..... It had been unplugged since the day before wehen i woke up,,, and at this point i think i remember it showing having 32% battery remaining..
[Galaxy S II General] Neo3D:
I think that's what's killing your battery life. Google it, there's fix for it but I can't remember off the top of my head.
[Galaxy S II General] Jonwi5:
How I only get like 10 to 12 max
[Galaxy S II General] htc9420:
yeah baby yeah!

Drop dead gorgeous.... as predicted, it's under 10 % with 2hr and 20 mins of talk time.

I will post the screens later.

as for the recommendation, *#*#4636#*#* is the code, it never sticks to GSM(prl) it always returns to CDMA/GSM

I really have no clue of how people squeeze over 14hrs of regular-to-high USAGE ( and I mean by that if someone uses it for the things you've bought it for: talk, email, multimedia, HD rec... I'm not talking about teens that use it as an show off device ) out of sgs2. I really need about every feature that is on this phone (except BT ) and I'M NOT EVEN PUSHING IT TO THE MAX.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I am also draining battery pretty quickly and started to suspect that could this be the issue. In Europe we don't even use CDMA, or do we? I am a bit of a noob with these.

Anyways I just changed to GSM only from the phone settings. From there it works without problem. No need for this code.

I put it now to GSM only, lets see what happens.
[Galaxy S II General] pik1:
Do you have GSM/CDMA or GSM/WCDMA to choose from? because WCDMA is UMTS, so i guess you wont have a data connection if you choose GSM...
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
Dang! Yeah I am truly a noob with these ..it is the wcdma.

But it seems to affect battery life even if wifi is on. This is how it looks when turned off
[Galaxy S II General] pik1:
I think UMTS (EDGE, HSDPA) needs more battery than WIFI, but not sure...
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
yes it needs but while using wifi why would it still use UMTS while GSM is all that is needed for phone calls? just thinking.
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
You will have data connection, just slower speed. I keep mine on gsm with data on when not using it and i just turn on wcdma when using it to download from market, send e-mails, etc.

9. Music: 60 Mins

10. Web browsing: 5-10 mins

11. Brightness: 90% on low/ rest on high (Manual)

However, on 3G battery drain is higher@ 3-4% per hour (screen off).

Also under 3G i've had the battery drain bug affect me twice when the phone started getting warm & draining @10-12% per hour.

Solved once by uninstalling a few apps. Second time I had to restart the phone.

Attached screenshots show the best & worst case scenarios I have faced. (For the worst case, you can see the charge went down to ~10% within 9 hours after which it had to be charged).

I get 7-10 hours and I use it pretty heavily.
[Galaxy S II General] sandeep10:
Depends really on usage. I found my culprit - windy live weather wallpaper. Since I changed to another non-weather live wallpaper, my battery is at 44% after 25.30 hours. This includes music, some browsing, market, e-mail, short video, and several calls and texts. I would say medium usage.

Otherwise wi-fi, data, gps, bt only as needed.

For this type of phone, I am pretty much happy with this performance. Updates and 2.3.4 will only improve this aspect.
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
I am so jealous to everybody who is able to get even 15 hours out of this. Not to mention 30. I might pull MAYBE 10 hours. Just updated to latest kf2. Can't say that can see any improvement.

So my sad setup is:

Screen brightness auto

Wifi on at work

Background updates on

Vibrate on

Gps on if needed

Wallpaper static

Number of widgets with updates 4

Rom kf2 stockmann

Here also screenshots
[Galaxy S II General] c4Lvin:
For the users that have over 15hours and above are quite good. Anything above even 10 hours is good for a phone (knowing fulling charged for a good 9-12 hour work day). But the ones that are getting SUPER long runs is due to their service providers and having their screen off (probably not heavy users as you can see from those charts). Some are only on "G" EDGE or 2G? I have about 6-7 hours for heavy use. My screen is on at 10%-25% display. Dark static background. Widgets (current and Data Usage) and Whatsapp. I'm on 3G/H+. I do notice that if the phone is in sleep mode, despite what connections you have on, will be very long lasting. Once the screen and the 3G/H+ (even WiFi), the battery will drain like crazy. I'm on HK's KF4's latest firmware and have 16% left where I only unplugged it for 4:43:45s! Don't get me wrong, this is a SUPERB phone compared to any other phones I've tried (former mighty HD2 owner!) I'm trying the first time to drain the battery completely and let it charge overnight while screen completely off to see if it will do the battery any better. Wish me luck guys!
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
To them who are having difficulties to get even 12 hours outta battery Please try to install a Battery Calibration software by Nema or else from Android Market and calibrate the battery when it's fully charged/100%. I myself didn't have any believe in this, but after doing it the Battery back up has increased by 25-30%, which is very very good imo.
