Can anyone verify this...

Will it matter if it's i9100 to i9100, or just any other phone to i9100?
[Galaxy S II General] mca1490:
Well... Ive done several hard resets , because I though I had a network problem , and I many of those I didnt install titanium or even root the device and the battery life was the same.

Just one opinion..
[Galaxy S II General] CandyAndy:
+1 for this..
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
If you notice a higher battery drainage than normal then you have to see what application you've installed lately. If you can't find it then the only option is to do a Hard Reset. That has worked for me, IF your battery is drained by some app which you've installed lately.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II General] pb_2003:
I am sure battery drain has to do with the apps we installed and the settings we use.

We are in a fortunate situation that my wife and I have both S II, hers is 2 days older from the same shop, so I assume both devices are from the same batch. Hence no hardware difference.

I installed a lot app and played with lots of settings and if my wife like it, she "demand" :) to install it on hers too, so hers is a more controlled env.

For some reason my battery drains a lot quicker than hers. I still have to find out which application / settings cause this.

For an experiment, we did not use both phones for a full day (very difficult), so all the drain is due to background processes.

There are several dips in the graph, but those are explicitly usage of the phone for a while. The big last drop on her battery was because she was playing a game for more than 3 hrs.:)

PS.

A collegue of mine (also an SII) had his battery run out quickly, until he found out his culprit: Settings->Location and security->Use wireless network was ON.

You can see the effect of this as the "almost horizontal bar" in my wife's battery when we turned it off.

I have used TV to restore many times and battery life is fine. I'm would suggest that the issue is some app you are restoring rather than TB
[Galaxy S II General] Roman5:
I wonder if having 3rd party launchers like launcher pro drains the battery quicker. I installed launcher pro without ever having really tested the battery life of the phone with the standard launcher. Has anyone here tested the difference, if any, of the battery life of standard v market app launchers?
[Galaxy S II General] Endoran:
The screen shot on the left is your phone correct? It looks like something is waking your phone up and leaving it in an awake state for far too long. Your graph represents over a day's time and I see those huge chunks of time where your screen is off but your phone is awake; I'd say some program is what do they call it *wakelock* every now and then.
[Galaxy S II General] busky2k:
By the looks of it, the screen was on the entire time (which seems impossible?).
[Galaxy S II General] ph00ny:
it's not just the apps that was just installed. It should include apps that are updated. I had this issue on SGS I when beautiful widget was having issues with updates causing the phone to use more battery power than usual
[Galaxy S II General] Lennyuk:
Morel likely to be a bad app, or a bad app setting causing the app not to close properly then drain power than the mere fact you restored it via titanium.

anyone one trying while sleeping, off your packet data ?

why is that so? :mad:
[Galaxy S II General] flute:
This is my battery drain using Litening ROM 1.5

I usually make and receive 30min phone call a day, push email on 2 accounts, wi-fi at work, data always on.
[Galaxy S II General] pb_2003:
Turning off data packet doesn't allow any application going on line (unless you have your wifi on) and cannot download e-mails, synchronize anything, etc..

This saves your battery a lot.
[Galaxy S II General] pb_2003:
Yes, that is also what I suspect. It is just to find out what which application / settings this cause.

I found out that I have 4 apps has an "sync" account, I delete all of them (except gmail), now I got a lot better performance (1 day: still 75%).

I'll post later my picture
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Of course the updates are included. There should be an app/good optimized app which will allow us to close the apps and thus Auto Sync and Background Data to off when we are not using them, especially at bed time. The in built task manager's RAM Clearance function is crap and frankly I haven't found an app which will optimize the RAM without force losing the apps/widgets. Tried 'Gemini App' but I doubt! This 'Sync' stuff is the main responsible part of high battery drain.

Xperia mini style Walkman mod

Hi!

I edited the graphics of this Walkman app and made it similar to Xperia mini's music player. All Walkman logos removed. Its not completely same as Xperia mini's but similar.

The name in the app drawer will be Music Player and the icon is of Xperia mini music player. Apart from that, the other changes can be seen in these screenshots.

How to install?

Download the APK and copy to SD card

Copy to /system

Set permissions to rw-r--r--

Move to /system/app

Reboot phone

I've only tested this on X10 mini pro stock ROM 2.1-update1. Also there is no widget for this app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkdkicker04:
So, I had some trouble unrooting my Evo 4G today because I wanted to bring my phone in for a replacement. It's been awhile since I last rooted the device so I figured I could just download the appropriate zip files and get on with it. I ran into a few snags.

A little background of the phone:

-Rooted via Unrevoked 3

-Running the latest Radio 2.15.00.05.02

-S-OFF

So, this method works if you rooted your phone via Unrevoked3 or Unrevoked Forever. I was reading all over and many people flashed to sense ROMs and did many steps that weren't really needed. The way I did was very simple.

**If you did not root your phone via Unrevoked skip to Step 7.

1. Downgrade your Radio to 2.15.00.07.28 (Anything earlier than the previous update should work) at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=7154 All the radios should be located at the previous link.

2. Download the Unrevoked Forever S-ON zip file that is provided.

3. Move the S-ON zip file to the root of your SD card.

4. Flash the zip file so that your device now reads S-ON, NOT S-OFF.

5. Wipe Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Data.

6. Reboot into Bootloader and verify that you are now S-ON.

7. Download the PC36IMG.zip from http://www.4shared.com/file/5U4M4eVi/PC36IMG.html?cau2=403tNull

8. Move the PC36IMG zip file to the root of your SD card.

9. Reboot into Bootloader and the phone should recognize the PC36IMG and begin to finish the UNROOT process.

10. Follow on-screen instructions and apply the update and reboot the phone.

11. You are now UNROOTED!!!

I hope this little tutorial helped. It definitely is nice to finally unroot the device after all the problems I was running into.

[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
Unroot for repair

Just in case anyone doing this for the first time, I recently took my evo in and exchanged for another. Make sure you remove all evidence of root from your sd card i.e. root explorer, my back up root TI(any root programs) and get the pc36img off there too. Now depending how cool your Sprint techs are they might not care. My particular store said they would blacklist my phone if they suspected it of root. That will ruin your plans of getting any service in the future, let alone the reason you came in. Their little "diagnostics" term to me says,"Let me check if I am going to dash your hopes of repair today." Or to be safer you could just pull the sd. Hopefully if you do forget you have cool techs that appreciate what we do here.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ROB281:
I'll give this process a 7 on the pucker scale, but it does work

I downgraded my cm image before I started just so I wouldn't have to deal with any errors

I then flashed the 2.15.00.07.28 radio

then flashed the s-on tool

then applied the pc36img.zip in bootloader

took a while but I am back up, and running unrooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkdkicker04:
Actually, after flashing the PC36IMG, that removes the root and puts the phone back to the initial state. It does put the phone to S-ON and remove SuperUser.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
If you do take it in do not let them update anything. I even signed a paper saying I didn't want a hard reset.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chay03:
Will this wipe all my contacts, messages, and apps? What app should I use to back everything up (Mybackup Pro, or Titanium Backup)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] github:
Yes you will lose everything. Google should save your contacts to the cloud. Any installed apps can be redownloaded. You will lose any saved messages/text/etc.

Keep in mind "S-OFF" and having root privileges are two different things. You can be rooted and be S-ON, and S-OFF and not rooted (which would mean you flashed a ROM that didn't have the su binary which almost doesn't exist outside of stock).
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
Why is it necessary to downgrade the radio? Just curious. Mine is currently running 2.15.00.11.19.

[EVO 4G Android Development] .torrented:
Here is the post containing the Radios and more...

[ Radios ][ 7-4 ] All EVO Radio, WiMAX, PRI, NV & HBoot versions

For anyone having trouble flashing the Radios using ClockworkMod either:

1) Downgrade your CWM to 2.5.0.7 (within ROM Manager)

or

2) Using ROM Manager (or manually) Flash Alternative [Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3

To be able to use CWM nandroids in Amon_RA's Recovery you need to:

1) Make a folder on the root of your SD Card called Nandroid

2) Create a Nandroid using Amon_RA

3) Amon_RA will create another folder inside Nandroid

4) Place your nandroid that you made in CMW inside the folder that Amon_RA creates along with that nandroid too

Hope this helps people... If in fact it does please leave a thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
Warning warning warning proceed at own risk etc etc

I used these instructions but in a different way.

1) I downgraded the radio. I still don't know why, it wasn't stated, but I went ahead and did it.

2) I downloaded the new radio and the unrevoked s-on tool (since I used unrevoked to root this phone in the first place)

3) I copied both the radio and s-on to my sd card while Evo was plugged into my PC via Disk Storage

4) On Amon's 2.3 recovery, I flashed the radio, let it do its thing and reboot and do its next lil thing it wants to do

5) Flashed the s-on. After it was done, I went back to the main menu of Amon's recovery and selected power off

6) Holding VOL+D and power, booted into the bootloader and saw it was S-ON.

7) Went through hboot to boot into recovery, then power off

8) Pulled battery to get to the sd card and put it into my PC so I could copy the PC36IMG.zip to it. Im really not convinced that its a big deal to copy this zip along with the radio and unrevoked s-on tool at the same time, except that it might idiot-proof flashing the pc36img prematurely. Then again, the instructions state to move it to the sd card...how? It can be done over ADB but theres not instructions given.

9) Put Sd card with PC36img copied to it onto the Evo, held VOL+D and power, booted into bootloader, it found PC36img, applied update and rebooted.

The linked PC36img is to android 2.2, on which im now unrooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] .torrented:
I think that the reason why you need an older radio is because if they saw that you had the newest radio released w/ the 2.3.3 and your on 2.2 it might look a little funny... this is my educated guess
[EVO 4G Android Development] cabbieBot:
that makes sense. so there isnt a 2.3.3 image to flash? or is there a reason to not want to do it if there it is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] .torrented:
well when sprint released the latest OTA its a packaged deal you get all of the stuff (radio hboot PRI/NV ect.) well if you only have 1 of the many different things like the latest radio but not the latest hboot or w/e then i would assume that the phone has been rooted. so you wouldnt want the 4.24 software update and have all of the older firmware... im really not too sure and i could be wrong but this would seem pretty logic (to me)

oh and flashing the 2.3.3 image would render it unrootable
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkdkicker04:
To answer your first question, after doing my research and by trial and error, I ran into several errors and problems having the latest radios and HBOOT. The alternative to fix this problem was to downgrade the radio.

The reason why it's easier to move the PC36IMG after you are S-ON is to make sure that you do not make the mistake of updating prematurely. Mistakes can happen and if you move too fast, accidents may happen. This was done to insure that needless accidents don't happen. The way you move the file to the SD card is by enabling USB mode while in recovery mode (Amon RA and Clockwork). The disk drive appears on your computer, and you click and drag the files just like normal.

The PC36IMG contains Android 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkdkicker04:
Thanks for this man. I was having trouble finding a working link.
[EVO 4G Android Development] quantim0:
I rooted my phone in March and it keeps saying "main version is older: update fail".

I had flashed the s-on tool and it worked, now I can't get it to take the pc36img.zip.

I downgraded the radio to the one in the post and am stuck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] .torrented:
make sure (if you weren't aware when you name your .zip that it is exactly

PC36IMG.zip

now if you name it .zip at the end sometimes it will say PC36IMG.zip.zip

in that case it wont work... now if your using root explorer the best way to check is just name it PC36IMG and see if it turn into a white looking img... if so rename it PC36IMG.zip so it looks like a zip file...

I will attach a link to a PC36IMG.zip file that you wont have to do anything but let it take its course

PC36IMG.zip

Edit* you have to boot into bootloader not recovery to let this flash itself

once this is on the root of the sd card boot into bootloader and you will see what I mean

[HTC Sensation] joel.bourquard:
New 100% reliable "temp root" for Titanium Backup (won't stop working until reboot!)

Hi all,

I grew frustrated by the annoyance of losing root access randomly, when modified files on /system suddenly become inaccessible because of the S-ON lock.

But here's some good news: I came up with a way to get a 100% reliable "temp root" for Titanium Backup.

Advantages:

You will not lose root access until next reboot!

100% reliable, does not modify /system at all.

Drawbacks:

Minimalistic approach with no BusyBox.

Will only work with select root apps.

Tested with Titanium Backup only (for now).

Requirements:

Original "out of the box" Sensation or EVO 3D (untested).

Android SDK tools ("adb" command) on a computer.

USB connection between computer and phone.

Installed Superuser app from the Market.

Initial (one-time) setup:

unzip better-temp-root.zip

adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/

adb shell "cd /data/local/tmp ; chmod 755 fre3vo ; ./fre3vo"

adb shell "mkdir /data/bin ; mv /data/local/tmp/fre3vo /data/bin/"

adb push su /data/bin/

adb push root.sh /data/bin/

adb shell "chmod 4555 /data/bin/su ; chmod 755 /data/bin/root.sh"

adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh"

After every reboot:

adb shell "/data/bin/fre3vo"

adb shell "/data/bin/root.sh"

The advantage of this method is that /system is not modified, therefore the rooting will be totally stable and will persist until the next reboot ;)

Q&A:

Will it work with other root apps?

This is a minimalistic approach which installs no busybox and does not touch /system, in order to be perfectly reliable. The drawback of this is that it will work only with root apps that are able to find "su" at /data/bin/su, and that don't need a busybox in $PATH. Fortunately, Titanium Backup fulfills both of these criteria. If you know other apps that do, please post about them.

Status:

Titanium Backup (free & pro): works

Root Explorer: works

MyBackup pro: works?

SetCPU: FC

Wireless tether: needs system modification

Greetings go to #teamwin for the exploit, of course.

Have fun !
[HTC Sensation] eyegor:
Great. Good job!

Now where is that test recovery?
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
If it works well, maybe you should try and pass the files onto agrabren for him to implement into Fre3vo^2 (apk that makes root better like your fix is aiming to).

That way things will move a LOT faster :)
[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
Using this, I can get Titanium Backup to work, but not AdFree. Might just wait for Fre3vo^2.
[HTC Sensation] xtcislove:
Adfree is build to edit files on /system partition which is not possible with temp root

Set-Cpu is working?

possible to make a script that runs
