@sumeshd,

You know, I don't get money from Samsung or anyone else for posting this? Why would I lie? Anyway, believe what you what, I really don't care that much.

I'll just say again, brightness is @ FULL.

3 Hours, is not ONLY, that's my usage, and you don't have to like it or not.

@bilboa1,

If I wanted, I can charge the phone almost 24/7 I got a charger my car, at home, at work, and even a portable solar one.

The charging peaks you see are mainly USB file transfers for a few minutes, and the long ones are around 30 minutes while driving with GPS + Screen at full brightness.

So the consumption on those moments is rather high, which means the battery isn't charging all that much.

@Mittaa,

You take a 4.3" Smartphone that does everything, and get 53 hours out of it, it's not enough??

if the little charging peaks were not there i'd still get around 46 hours from the phone, is that not enough???

Anyway the information I posted was to help people who are trying to choose a ROM, chose this one, or other people who are having battery problems have a reference.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
eitama dont bother posting let this thread die please .

Two reasons one you will find certain users insist you have poor gps yellow screen bad battery life etc . Not worth bothering with if you are happy with your phone .

Reason two is a bit selfish as posting VR great battery life means we are going to get hundreds of numptys posting in VR rom thread who wont read and cannot follow instructions .

[Galaxy S II General] iznee:
Having a superb battery life with VR 1.4...just over 10 hours with more than 6 hours screen on time..in a crappy signal area..this is a 100% increase compared to my desire HD with same pattern of usage..

Brightness in auto/ gps when needed/ bluetooth when needed/ wifi when needed/ auto sync & bckgnd sync enable..

Heavy use includes

Whatsapp

Instant messaging

Ebook reading

Music

Browsing

Gmail push email

And some phone calls texting etc etc..

Seriously im loving this phone
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Nice to hear that your happy with your phone ... i'm happy too :)

I also understand that this is way better than your old desire HD (same for me moving from my old HTC Touch HD)

But I can't understand what this have to do with "whatever Vanilla Rom" ...

Lots of people can get this kind of battery live using stock unmodified, non rooted SGS2!

It could be very usefull if someone made a exact compare between two SGS2 running different ROMs.

First same configuration (screen brightness, auto update, widgets etc) then full charge.

Then 15 min GPS (same route), 15 min browsing WIFI (same websites), 15 min gaming (same game), 15 min talking (same person (sorry bad joke)).

Al together 1 hour of heavy identical usage.

Finally screenshots of battery stats and post here on XDA so we all can clap our hands for the best bettery saving ROM of the week :D
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Well I tried to drain the battery on vr playing games etc to calibrate, and struggled, like noonski did.

I could drain stock rom with ease, but can't do it nearly as easily on vr.

The general consensus from reliable members like nobnut and jje seems to concur with it being better
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
well as I said I have tried all the roms..

I have tried vr4..for many days..it gave me 9+ hrs..

good u r supporting vr but not good that u r filling threads with "anything"

this is my battery with batista70 rom..and I m happiest with it..

PS: note the screen wake time bfor commenting..(its awake most of the time bcoz my heavy txting and use)..

and I am on 3g/h network with data active all the time..

this is the best I could get till now(with my usage)

no hard feelings..:D
[Galaxy S II General] ZedWings:
People seem to be getting time between charges that vary wildly, but for me the biggest indication of battery life is obviously 'display on' time, and this seems to be roughly the same for the vast majority. Best I've seen so far is 4 hours, and that was mainly 3G/HSPDA browsing. My most recent however was slightly over 2 hours with VR 1.4, and again that was mainly browsing with data.

So while a screenie showing over 2 days may look impressive, it's how much actual use the user got that's important. The post above that showed over 6 hours was certainly impressive, but how much 3G browsing was done? How many 3D games played? GPS? etc etc
[Galaxy S II General] sumeshd:
the 3g data was on all the time and I browsed xda or dolphin or market etc..overall aprox 3 hrs of browsing out of 15..and more than 4 hrs screen was on..in auto brightness..(I wont fool any1 saying full brightness :D)wifi tether was done for 20 mins or so..and 2 hrs of phone calls and msging like crazzzzyyyy..hence 15+hrs battery..and I m v happy..thnx to snakes for batista70 rom
[Galaxy S II General] ZedWings:
Well, that's good. Recently I got a total of 16 hours including 57minutes screen on time.
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
3h screen time on is nothing, on 2-3 days it's called very light usage.
[Galaxy S II General] ZedWings:
I got 56 minutes screen on time from my last full charge. Using VR 1.4.
[Galaxy S II General] FredericGervais:
update to VillainROM 2.0 will also help the battery life

[Desire Android Development] tma24:
how do you edited it? thx
[Desire Android Development] Exiled_SouL:
edited it with hex editor software it included in the zip file :)
[Desire Android Development] tma24:
I know. but how exactly?
[Desire Android Development] Exiled_SouL:
when you open the mtd0 file with hex editor look for

"HTC_1xx"-your cid

"ClearAutoImage .x.xx.405.x"-your rom value

and edit those according to your cid and rom value information.

i updated the thread with some more useful info so recheck the 1st post.
[Desire Android Development] tma24:
Thank you very much. While my phone is fine but I'm trying to fix a friend

Glad that it worked out for you :) about V+ root,TBH i don't know but my opinion is it's safer to use unrevocked for root. :)

Edit, just tried it. I generated my mtd0.img out of another topic. Read a lot, and it works perfect again!! Thanks!! You saved my phone!

Hi, again

I have a new problem after fixing the USB Brick. I can't root my desire using Unrevoked 3, it was always failed on process uninstalling unrevoked3 system and showed :

Validation error : Backup CID is Missing

do you have any idea for this problem?

thx for your respond
[Desire Android Development] Exiled_SouL:
That same error showed up when i tried to root after usb brick but in my app drawer the super user icon showed that means it worked somehow even after the error,so check your app drawer and recovery if you see the su icon and cwm recovery then it worked don't worry about the error :)

[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
My phone shows 2 instances of HTC Sense in the Applications\Manage application\All. HTC Sense version 3.0.211533xx and HTC Sense version 2.0.2115xx. I can force stop both. But when i power off the screen, Sense 2.0 version restarts while Sense 3.0 stays stopped.

I was force stopping Sense to see if my ADW Launcher Pro EX's app drawing would scroll more smoothly. It does, really fast.

But curiously, when I power off the screen and power on, the Sense 3.0 lockscreen and weather animation greet you. Application manager shows only Sense 2.0 running. Meanwhile the app draw in ADW still scrolls really fast.

I am cornfuzed, how is this happening?
[HTC EVO 3D] Ophois:
The Sense 2.0 runs the lockscreen stuff while 3.0 runs the main UI, I guess HTC thought ahead and did that so the fancy lockscreen would still function even when an alternative launcher is used and 3.0 is not running due to being unneeded.
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Yes, that makes sense. I just don't remember that lockscreen being a part of 2.0. Maybe because I have been running No Lock all the time on previous EVO.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilku:
Hi,

I am on Darky 9.5 ROM with ZSJPG modem which is working perfect on 2G. Just recently my operator enabled 3G service and the signal is very weak max 20% (on average 12%) whereas on 2G on average i have 80%. I though that is maybe my operator but when i travel abroad i get the same results with different operators.

Is there any way to improve 3G reception - some tweaks or maybe a different modem

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GerbenEe:
when I was on stock 2.3.6 with my sgs I always had 3g full speed...

then I flashed dark knight v2 signal 3g wasnt always there...

a little later I updates to dark knight v3 and I have no 3g whatso ever

now I have a few questions.

- Does flashing another modem change that ?

- Does flashing another modem work just as flashing anything ?

- Is modem region decided ?

Or ... Is signal just crap because of settings ?

thanks !

Anyone?

Have you tried Skype? I cant get that to work at all.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DannyBiker:
Well, the subject is in the title I guess...

I was wondering if we could hope that the 10.1 Roms will be easily be ported to the 10.1v ? I might be getting the 10.1v but I'm afraid that, because it's a more confidential device, development will be more modest.

They are very similar of course but could it be simply copy/pastable ? :D

Thank you !
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Hi

My Htc Pro 7 (one week old) seems to pretend that it is syncing. It only takes 2 to 3 seconds over Wifi but it doesn't bother downloading new messages.

My (only) email account on the phone is a Blueyonder account (powered by Google). The initial set up went off and collected the account info.

I have turned off SSL and deleted the port numbers from the SMTP and POP settings.

Reentering the username and password convinced it to download the rest of yesterdays emails but not the test one I just sent myself or the others that are on the server.

Outllok 2007 is set to leave copies on the server for 10 days and over the years WM and Symbian handsets have not experienced this problem.

Any suggestions?

Tnx
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Since re-entering the username password- the phone is set to look every 15 minutes and ever hour or so it seems to go off- ask if there are any new messages and then download the odd one without bothering to do download the rest...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Am I really the only person who has a mailbox that is at least a day behind???

Nice one MuppetSoft!!! By removing our rights to tweak things you have also prevented us from fixing things ourself. Please stop trying to be Apple.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prjkthack:
Sometimes the same thing would happen when I hard reset my phone and set up my Hotmail account for the first time. E-mails don't download even though I can clearly see them on my PC. After a couple hours though, it fixes itself and my e-mails appear regularly, and at times, I get alerts to my phone even faster than I would on my computer.

Maybe give it a jump start by using your phone to compose, send, deleted, etc. Otherwise if it still isn't working, then it may be bugged and a hard reset may be in your future.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Thanks for the reply prjkthack

I can send emails without any problems. I have only had the phone just over a week and I am pretty sure that on day one it was working properly. I only noticed the issue a couple of days after the Nodo update- not sure if there is a relation or not.

I guess I will have to wait until i have a day off work before i can prepare for a hard reset. Being undiciplined i tend to leave client contact details in the form of text messages, rather than saving them to contacts.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
odder and odder....

it has finally managed to catch up and is now up to date.

I have not made any changes/restores.

Lets hope it stays that way.

Now all I need is my Dev account to be approved so that I can play with mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imaginarynumber:
Just bumping my own thread.

The problem returned.

UNTIL I remembered that my Virgin (blueyonder) email account (powered by Google) needs to be in the following format recent:yourname@blueyonder.co.uk

I am such a wanker and should have remembered sooner!!!!

I guess it is a timeout issue, ordinarily the email client asks the server if there are any messages- the server responds "sure about 10000", the email client says "sod that, I'm not cross referencing your list with the ones i am already aware of -I'm off".

With the addition of recent: it only asks for the emails received in the last week or two.

Hopefully the above will be of help to someone else in the near future

Long story short, I found my old Epic with the old firmware, 2.1 (Eclair). I tried to update it to EC05 with Odin and in Recovery modes. In Odin, it fails when it start loading in "Setup Connection." so I was wondering if it was because the phone had no service. If that's the problem, is there another way to update it.

Shouldn't have anything to do with your service... check yur cable
