how to save even more battery.

Cool, spent $700 for NOT using my device and features.. not push mail, not call and not text.. Here is my suggestion - pull the battery out. it lasts for months that way..

Now seriously - getting 3%-4% drain per hour with push mail (2 accounts) some texting and some screen on time is awesome. 24 hours with some use is a good solution for day to day business use... Actually even 15 hours is more than plenty..

EDIT: I use juice defender ultimate, obviously. I do agree without it, or another app alike, it will not last that much..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BigE:
download GPSfix from the market. works great anywhere on our blue planet and gets you quick fix after the first iteration. The issue is the default location in the ROM isn't for your area, but GPSfix will fix it.:cool:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BigE:
with 3g on, GPS active, and push mail the normal hourly drain is 3%-4%. people shut everything down to get the 1% rates.. useless IMHO, otherwise why did you buy such an expansive device? It is kind of a pissing competition.. no real value, ain't it? and just for the sake of discussion - do you really need more than 15-16 hours battery? how many times per week you have absolutely nowhere to charge the phone for that long?

EDIT: please try Juice defender or similar app. Really help to extend battery life..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] syklitengutt:
I have tried your gps fix. It finds allot of satellites but locks on very few of them. Looses them quick and is unstable. Any one who knows what the last released Scandinavian radio is?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ncai97o:
I have this ROM on my phone but I don't know how to get rid of the yellow triangle which appear at boot sequence. Can anyone help me?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhafa:
you just have to take the stock kernel KG6 and flash it with Odin. Or you unzip the file you have .....KG6.tar and in it, you will find a zImage. This you can flash with recovery modus.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andylhchen:
I am starting to experience a few funny things.

The internet connection kinds of go to sleep.. it shows connected but I actually can't connect it unless I switch to airplane mode and back

Sometimes switching wifi off also won't reconnect internet unless I restart the phone or airplane mode.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I tried KG3, KG6, and KF4 modems... all the same..

Unfortuntely I don't know how to reproduce this.. it just happens out of the blue..

Edit:

when I say internet I meant GPRS (3G, Edge, etc)

wifi.. well means wifi :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PunkOz:
I'm having the same problem, with market too and ebuddy lol WiFi randomly disconnects n then i gotta restart the WiFi i dont have to restart phone or go into flight mode like you do
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richardddd:
So how do i install this rom then?

Flash the zip in clockworkmod recovery? Should I apply the updates in CWM app on phone or whats the deal? :) Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Fauert:
Copy the rom too sd-card , wipe all cache`s , Flash ROM , reboot , go to recovery and flash updates, reboot .... All done . ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dexter.:
I had the same problem. Both "internet" and WiFi "turns grey" and I can't connect. I used KG5 modem. I changed to the 2.0.2 kernel a couple of days ago and I think the problem is gone now...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dexter.:
And damn you Smaberg for mentioning a new ROM. Now it's like waiting for christmas when I was a kid... :p

Smaberg, thanks for a great ROM and keep up the work.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aiolit:
Hey everyone,

I used 3.2 with SP1 without any patches and everything worked fine, battery life was okay too. A few Days ago I added the call recorder patch - still everything was fine. Today I added the anti battery sounds patch and europe gps fix and now I can literally watch as the battery indicator goes down. 25% in just 3h, without doing anything, no apps active! Android OS accounts for 54% usage!

I'm trying a few things now, before I do a full wipe and go back to 3.2 SP1 WITHOUT the patches.

If you have any suggestions, I'd be happy to try them.

Update: A simple restart seems to have solved my problem, but I don't know what caused it in the first place.

@BelgianAtheist: 8% per hour under heavy use is quite alright. When I play a little Snes9x_EX it drains almost 10% in half an hour. Normally my phone lasts about a day. When I was on vacation, because I disabled roaming my phone lasted almost 6 days (very little usage)!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BelgianAtheist:
the anti battery sound just removes a few .ogg files and the gps patch replaces the gps.conf file.

I have major battery problems too, I have installed this rom with just the essential programs (and I got this phone because I wanted to install hundreds of apps!) and I am also getting a drain of about 8% per hour which is really not acceptable even with heavy use.

When I have the time I will try to run a day with just a fresh rom, nothing installed and see if I can get good battery then and install new programs one at a time to see which one (if there is one) is killing me and which one is triggering that Android OS into the high % (I see all those posts that AOS is not a bug that it is idle time ... but my HTC Desire with Cyangogen 7.1 does not have it!).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cr0wnest:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot when I'm free.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BigE:
GPSfix is only trying to get assisted positioning from the towers, and based on the location, communicate with the right satellites in the table. The table has over 30 of them, but not all of them can be viewed. The app tries to generate a 'start' file for warm fix.. not sure why you lose ones it connects to, or how you know it happens. I also have my doubts a different radio will make a difference, as it is all between the receiver sensitivity and the tweets the satellites send.. (all in hardware really)

Question 1: Did you get better results with stock ROM or another cooked one?

Question 2: Did you try running GPSfix inside a building or did you try going out and have clear view of the sky?

Note that in some cars, the metal roof, and some mineralization of the windshields may be as bad as sitting in a Faraday cage (magnetically sealed box)..

I hope it is not too technical.. and I hope this will give you the requested results. I travel a lot and without GPSfix, I had hard time every time i landed somewhere with long fix times. now I get a fix in one minute using it, right after landing.. I travel to EU , middle East, and reside in the US, and I use a local SIM in each location on my phone, so I can tell you it certainly works..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] syklitengutt:
I have tried gpsfix and didn't do much. Tried the gps fix posted here and no more luck. Yesterday I let the phone drain the battery complete empty and charged it full. And today I tried the gps and everything worked just super. So thanks for the good and describing answer. And thanks for the good rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andylhchen:
Have to say not sure if it's a kernal problem..

I have not had same issue with other ROMs.

This ROM is truely awesome, this is the only problem I've noticed that interferes with daily use..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] neo_hito:
I've got a weird bug. It started after I installed the call recorder addon for Touch X 3.2 SP1.

After I restart the phone, if I connect it to the pc, the pc will try to install drivers and the device pops up as in MTP usb mode. I checked the settings and its says its in debugging mode so it should show up as mass storage instead of MTP.

I have to uncheck and recheck that setting to get it working again.

Not a big problem since there is a workaround but still quite annoying...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gandalf2000:
+ 1 here. Same weird bug.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] gandalf2000:
Another bug: since i flashed sp1 or call recorder (don't remember) it seems my battery stats reset themselves every time I reboot my device and not as I fully recharge my device. Does anybody experienced this problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
Why is there no root on 3.2? I have the SP1 also...

Also BLN is working on missed calls? I put the BLN patch and installed BLN from Market.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shelter:
Dunno about missed calls. But there's root, something must've gone wrong in your flash.

Wipe the phone in CWM before you flash it. Enable CWM on the shutdown menu via theme settings if you're having trouble accessing it like i did (CWM icon disappeard).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PunkOz:
Can anyone tell me if this battery life is any good lol.. sorry if I uploaded the wrong screenshots I used the phone to upload them .. thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rbalu72:
Oh yes,... its marvellous...

I guess you must have watched Angry Birds ever since it was taken off charger :) :) because thats what might have taken the other % utilization of battery..

The best way to save battery not just SGS2 but on all smart phones is 'not to use it', thats what majority of the battery saving techniques/tools basically achieve in different profiles/modes. The display, processing obviously takes power and unless charger is attached, it takes that from battery :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vil-2:
Finally I achieved a far better battery life with Ninphetamine 2.0.2 kernel and SetCPU (underclocking/undervolting). I'm still far from the best results here on this topic (seriously guys...1% in 7 hours even in sleep mode...how do you achieve that?), but battery life is quite good : I loose roughly 3%/hour in moderate usage, data on. Don't know if Juice Defender Ultimate is useful or not, I don't see any diferences with or without this app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PunkOz:
Heres the missing screenshot from the post above .. is this battery good at all?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] syklitengutt:
You have used your screen for 4 hours or more so thats good in my oppinion.

With wifi or 3g, and 3 hours screen on my phone lasts atleast a day.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
I was not impressed with the battery usage on this ROM. It was on the same kernel, Ninphetamine 2.0.5, and it was more power hungry than a KG6 Kitchen ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alcurtis93:
The rom has little to no effect on battery life. Its to do with the kernel and your apps you put on the device and the modem. I use this rom as I like the theme end of. I use speedmod kernel and the modem for my provider for good battery life. Give smaberg a break.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 2dorr:
I did not accuse anyone, I just posted my impressions on the same applications installed on my phone, the same kernel and the same modem. You like it or not, I don't give a damn.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] PunkOz:
A day.. mine only 12 hours as you can see that's y I'm wondering if this is good or not :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] vil-2:
Battery Life is very good provided you do not use the phone too much - as usual. With data off, your battery can lose 1%/2 hours without many tweaks.

But as soon as the screen is on, battery life is short. i do not think there is something we can really do aginst that. SGS2 is a powerful phone, its screen is wonderful, now enjoy it and stop looking at this f***ing battery icon :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhafa:
You can't give any expressions without numbers/values/examples. How long hold your battery?? How much percent did it lose per hour? We want to see data. Maybe, you are expecting to much or are you talking about your personal experiences in comparison with other ROMs? Greetz

Awesome: ) can't wait
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] break1:
@ smaberg,

did you test this rom for battery life?

- nimphetamine 2.0.5 ?? this kernel is using much battery (user opinions)

why cant u release a version/ROM with the old KE4 modem?Or 3 ROMs, so users can chose between performance, average and amazing battery life?

Just a small advice, but would appreciate it very much if you could realize that idea (:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smaberg:
this release is meant to be a base! i will explain in first page when its ready.

i will make some CWM packages.

one for green theme

one for battery life (maybe nimphetamine 2.02, or CUSTOM kernal :eek: and ke4 modem)

and so on.

you get the picture :eek:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CSCicus:
Ufff :) i realy dont like blue. Green and black are nice together.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] break1:
Thanks buddy,

I am now on touch 3.1 (standart kernel) and i get very nice battery life in sleep. But i never tried kE4 to see how the battery life is there.

Cant wait to try it out!

Cheers

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] JasonTJC:
would like to check before i flash the rom, the SP 1 modem consist of kg5? or i still kg6
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] syklitengutt:

My battery is best friend with Ninphetamine 2.0.2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alcurtis93:
Fair enough. Any idea when the green theme will come for the base?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kevin_seymer:
Hi Smaberg.

I saw that you have added New Market...is it working correctly in Sweden now? it did not 2 weeks ago,...

And if it doesn't work...does anybody have apk. for old market?!

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smaberg:
try first post in first page :eek:

not allowed to post swype in xda :) its called illigeal
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xhafa:
Thankx for the update. I installed it and I must say...WOW!! More smoother than the version before. I am so impressed!! Super work. Until now, I can't discover any bug. I played and installed since an hour, and I lost just 4 percent hehe. The battery capacity seems to be stronger and persistenter. And what about Swype? Swype is one of the apps I uninstall after a flash.

Now, I am just waiting for the green theme and I'll happy;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] saveferris:
Does the incoming call still rotate to landscape ??????
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] byted:
I've been trying a lot of roms and this is the one I'm sticking with. In terms of battery, this one has been the best. No crashes at all. Nice to see my phone work well.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cr0wnest:
Will let you guinea pigs test out the KG5 rom before i full wipe my phone and flash this over. :D

Nah just kidding. Will wait for the green theme first, i kinda like it better than blue, and it just shouts ANDROID!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] platy222:
what's the deal with kg5??? why not kg6??

i only want to know just for the interest :-)

Love your rom :-)

edit: i am missing the ADFREE hosts file, will there be an update or fix for it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I know about Swype, but still miss extra languages from previous versions. Will do it myself :).

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] serch826:
Believe me, i did all like you say, but not working.

Them i make just an update from 3.2 SP1 without all the wipe things and restart after first boot, them factory restore and Navigon works again and everything is ok, i like also this new rom, thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alcurtis93:
On the contrary i think the blue looks awful. I think i'm going to stick with 3.2 SP1

I really thought we had similar taste in theme smaberg but this new theme is horrible
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
This theme is great. Just shut up & wait for green version or just use online kitchen.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelossssss:
I'm trying to flash the new rom through CWM but it seems that my phone doesnt recognize the sdcard.

I also tryed a different sd but again the same.

Any solutions?

Hello...

I have Cognition S2 V1.07

I did wipe cache, wipe data(facyory reset), wipe dalvik and flashed in recoverymode...I think i have CWM 4.0.0.2.

Updated to that version with rom manager.

X-Treme installs without any problems but i got bootloop..

Boot in to recoverymode and flash Xtreme again but no luck...

I did a recovery to C2..

Do i have wrong CWM or is it because i had C2 before i got problems ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] stillbrad:
dude what the hell how come no developer wants to use odin anymore? CWM sucks. Odin Odin Odin!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smaberg:
coming from cognition, you need to install CFroot for your rom first, then from CF's CWM flash my rom.... thats because clockworkmod kernel aint the same as CFroot kernal's CWM. not my fault though ;)

CWM is the easyest way to develop, that why no odin....

and for thoose who's woundering about radio, i already included radio in the zip you flashed :p
