Same here, I was receiving the FC's without the new market apk. I installed this puppy thinking that this upgrade would rid the problems of the FC's with CM7 (70) nightlys and yet the FC's still continue.

This has to be a problem on the market side, or maybe on the rom itself. I was thinking that it was the issues on bandwidth, but now there is no telling.

Hi all,

I've just noticed that "Voice command" was running although I had never used it.

If you go to Voice Command, Settings, Voice Talk Settings, you might notice that "Wake up command" is activated!

And even the description states it might drain the battery!

As I've just deactivated I don't have yet feedback on usefulness, but I'm sharing anyway.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
This is not a battery thread. I just wanted to do some maths based on some findings of my own.

I post this screens, taken at 50% battery. I rebooted when full battery for a fresh graph. I'm running "stock" 2.3.4 KG1. Data is always on, two push mail accounts, display on Auto, no gaming, no photos for today.

So, if the graph are accurate (I really doubt that):

1. 17 hrs 38 mins total time on for 50%

from this:

-1 hr 48 mins phone calls

- 45 mins Android OS

-1hr 2 mins display on

-Android system (the thing responsible for widgets, push mail and so on, basically for apps) 7 mins 50 secs!

-Phone idle 16 hrs 35 mins. TIME WHEN NOTHING IS SUPPOSED TO BE RUNNING IN CPU FOREGROUND

- Navigon comes up with 11% BUT I NEVER USED IT- and there are no details on CPU usage either.

- I used 20 mins of sync Wifi for the later part of today, wifi doesn't show on the graph- no clue why.

Here I stand pretty puzzled:

1hr 48 mins of calling + 16 hrs 35 mins of idle is 18 hrs 23 mins! assuming that idle does not include when calls connected and screen off .

Here are the figures for the AOS and how life would be without it.

Android OS chewed 14 % of the 50 % battery. Calling ate 43% for 1 hr 48 mins. If it wasn't for AOS bug, I would have had power to call for some 36 more mins to get to the 50% battery. That's like 30% more talk time without the bug.

Display, set on auto, drained 10% of power for 1hr 2 mins. Android OS bug stole almost 30 mins of display time for every hour . This is 50% wasted power.

Phone Idle is 4% for 16 hrs and 35 mins. So, basically, every minute under raging AOS eats 0.31% of battery. for every 1% the phone idles for 4 hours and 9 mins (and ideal stand-by time of four and an half days ). EVERY MINUTE OF ANDROID OS EATS AWAY 1 HOUR AND 22 MINUTES.

Also, the Widgets and all other stuff are actually consuming half the power eaten away by AOS.

So, if by miracle, the faulty driver is resolved by Samsung, we should get :

30% more talk time

50% more display time

350% more idle time.

Or, for the connoisseurs:

Android OS comes in, battery goes flat. No miscommunication. You can't explain that.:D

Good post, my own experiences (i only have my GS2 a few days coming from a HD2)

I deleted my battery stats last night and left my phone on,data was enabled nothing like bluetooth/GPS,etc,brightness is set to automatic brightness the phone was at 99% and from 12.29am to 09.59am this morning when i checked it was 83%,not too bad i suppose but could be better, i have fast dormancy disabled and i froze the Samsung apps with Titanium Backup,however the Android OS was at 41% and Maps and Cell Standby both 15%, since then ive been using the phone for some Internet, 1 call and sent a few text messages and it's now currently 12.41pm and it's at 47% and the display now shows at 35% and the Android OS is 23%, im running Lite'ning ROM 1.5, does this seem normal or quite excessive im in 2 minds myself, does the Android OS usually be as high as that when in standby,when im using the phone for a period of time it appears to go down as low as 8%.

Thank you for this. It makes the problem clear to see. There are a lot of people saying things like "it all adds up to 100%" or "hey Android OS is high, but my battery life is very good".

As you say, we'd get much much better battery life if it weren't for this damn bug. Battery life can be good now. However with a 1650 mah battery, without Android OS wasting precious energy, it would be great...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaui:
Great summary!:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
More info

I have depleted the other 50% of battery so I'll post the values. The phone charged when connected to transfer the files. Well, at the end of the day, it looks like the that:

1. Voice calls drained 39% of battery for 3 hrs and 19 minutes.

2. Display is 2nd with 14% and 2hrs and 20 mins.

3. Android OS gets 3rd place with 12% and 1hr 20-this is the kernel running.

4. Android System- the one you bought the phone for- is pretty shy, only 9% . I repeat, here are all the widgets, Sammy updater, mail and so on.

...

Dialer is 6%, Navigon gets 8%, Cell standby - that's the radio FW- 5%

Phone Idle is the champ with 3% @ 31 hrs and 17 mins. That's the spirit.

Also, GPS status is eating 2,2% for every minute.

Bottom line: if it wasn't for the AOS, I would have had -see below( let's be real and give each process it's share so I'll split the AOS drain to get everybody happy)- before running for the charger .

1. Phone calls. 5.6% more battery- and 23 minutes more of talk time.

2. Display. 1.7% 22 minutes more.

3. Phone idle 0.9 % almost 10 hrs.

The rest of ~4% is shared for Wifi, Cell Standby and android system.

These numbers are valid for my usage pattern, phone calls all day long/ that's why i bought a phone for:)/.

I might draw some lines here and reveal some facts ( the values might be different according to usage pattern):

ONE MINUTE OF:

AOS bug drains 0.15%

Voice calling (I live on a good network signal area) depletes 0.13%

Display on is lower than calling @ 0.10%.

GPS could be chewing 2% when polled thoroughly.

Widgets and other Sammy crap are not scary at all. In fact, I find them pretty decent under this SW revision.

Maybe some will find these values useful.

Maybe we don't realize the impact of implementing a bad driver. For me, it all makes a lot of sense and annoys me more. Too bad we not on Icrap's ship, the news would have been all over the web.

One last thing though.

There are 2 main issues withSGS2: AOS and wake up lag. Never listen to any wise guy that says the lag comes from deep sleep and you should be lucky if you have it because it means the phone is SLEEPING:eek: and not eating away battery. I've noticed lately a trend in trolling this issue. I am confident that the guys behind this reasoning are on the same level with the guys that came up with Killing task managers and empty ram crap in Linux. And they even wonder why the alarm is not working after RAM flush.....:mad:

Wake up lag is a side effect of some nasty crap hogging the CPU's front bandwith. I bet any trolls here that when the lag is gone so will the AOS bug be ( at least AOS will be under Idle in %).

My wild guess is a radio issue somewhere.:rolleyes:

KG3 Report

Hi,

I have a new report to post, this time under KG3 stock rom. This time WI-Fi off whole time. I used the car dock for 10 mins.

1 day 7 hrs and 57mins from full charge to 15%:

Voice calls 2 hrs and 35 mins -37 %

Display on auto 2 hrs and 27 mins 20%

Android system 13 % Cpu total 10m 16 s

Android OS 9% 53 min 45 s

Dialer 6% C

Cell standby 6%

navigon 4% pops up,never used it

Phone idle 4%

Although it seems the AOS got less cpu with this, the improvement is not so clear. I almost talked 1 hr less with this one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohanlon07:
My android is 49% of 15 hour up time from last charge but the CPU time is only 2 hours 15 minutes for it. Hardly 49% of up time. Do you think maybe firstly there is no bug, its a bug with reporting not AOS usage time and that the phone hardware just eats a lot of juice even in standby. Just a thought. The battery lasts pretty good for the fact that its so small, there's an amoled screen and a dual core processor. Perhaps even in idle the hardware just draws a lot of power to allow a quick jump from standby to fully activated without any waiting around.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
Could you post some screens?

Android system is 49%? the percents relate to the battery usage, not the time.

ALSO VERY IMPORTANT:

Dual core CPU should draw less power in standby/idle/sync. this is the idea behind dual/quad cores. If you have the time, read on how do they stack processes.

Deep sleep is not working properly. How come my WIN7 x64 wakes up in less than 1 sec from standby> win kernel is around 300 megs vs 17megs Android? It is a driver issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycfc:
So instead of writing here, we should write to Samsung, correct? I hope this will be resolved soon, OTA update should do nicely! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
Believe me, I've tried the highest official way there is. They keep blaming android/google. I even pointed them some apps that were using obsolete scripts and 4-5 ro.* that were hogging the cpu. All they answered is that is under revision. then somebody from the work asked me what the f*** is this communication about and told me to use the nexus S instead.:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelomaldito:
Here the results of a simple test I did:

KG3, CF-Root, 8 widgets, skype and viber, 2 e-mail accounts. The usage was roughly the same (mostly internet browsing, e-mail cheking and only a few voice calls 20min approx.) The difference is that in the first day I left the sync and WiFi on all the time. On the second day, I left both sync (including background sync) and WiFi off most of the day, except during the time which I was using it (browsing internet, updating market apps, checking e-mail, etc.) The result, as you can see in the screenshots below, is that with sync and WiFi off, I've got almost 26h extra of battery life (18h18min v 1d19h52min). So, for me at least, the battery drain is WiFi+sync.

Looking at the pictures, compare phone awake v screen on. With sync+WiFi, you'll see that the phone was awake many times with the screen off, whereas it didn't happen when the sync+WiFi was off.

Therefore, I think it is better to turn sync+WiFi on only when you really need it, and not all the time. That's what I'm going to do from now on.;)

Ah, no powersaving settings enabled in any case!

i rooted the phone yesterday, screen on time was around 4 hours or so..10% drain per hour average with screen on-off.

freeze all bloatwares and aos went down to less than 10% (was in 40s).

will see battery improvement today.

after root, i still got the yellow rectangle at boot (havent remove it yet)..will it affect battery life? any input?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
If you don't understand that the yellow triangle ONLY means that the kernel you have flashed does not have the correct signature (i.e. it is a custom kernel) then you shouldn't really be messing with root at all. How would this be relevant to the AOS bug or to battery life?

What is your view on juicedefender?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc9420:
Battery savers are pieces of **** that turn help battery life by constantly changing the device on something more like Nokia soap.

My Personal view on software that claim to help save on battery was/is as it is about task managers on Android... somehow useless mainly for a few reasons:

1. They interfere with running processes and I haven't seen one really optimized for the system. Some are behaving limiting the performance. Which isn't a good thing.

2. I found that even Watchdog is a drain culprit when it's running after a limbo limbo process.

I have seen this issues before, in PC world. 8-5 years ago, Sony was loading their Vaio series with so much crap that the laptops were slow as a turtle right from a start up. They failed to listed then and lost almost 60% of their market. Others reacted faster and gave the option of removing crapware ( mainly proprietary sofware and trial) when ordering [ btw,of course, anybody could do it by msconfig but few were willing to mess it...].

I can't get it why Sammy, HTC, LG won't offer a barebone/unified Android. We could all get what we need from Market and this is why we have the markets war.

I don't want my update service running in background, nor do I need email app from Samsung...in order to get them off my back I need to root, Edit a file and make sure I mount the right permissions( or BUY something to do it for me) and so on, most people don't want/can't root , not mentioning the longer the chain the more links likely to break, including the warranty is voided ...WHY all the fuss to stop something I don't want?

Microsoft hit the nail in the head with their approach to WP7 (except closing it like Apple). That's because they had to deal with screamers for 20 years and they have a clue about crap ruining an OS.

And yes, I am still waiting to see a dev coming out with a pure Android Rom on whole XDA.... for any device. They all add something to it....a tiny tweak or a tiny thing.

What were you using to find the images within systemres? Try NinjaMorph, it will re-compile the .apk for you and everything. If theyre just not in there, then look in systemui.apk, its in /system/app. I cant remember which one theyre in, but it is one of the two, and with ninjamorph its pretty easy to replace them too.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d does:
Hey,

I'm really loving the transformer, but am getting tired of the build issues/quality control. My first asus transformer had wifi issues (verified by asus support) and awful backlight issues. I returned this for a new one (B50 revision) that has no backlight issues, but has awful creaking on the left side. The right side speaker is better than the left, but I can live with this.

With the awful creaking on the left side I decided to get a third (and now fourth transformer) to compare. These 3rd and 4th models are B60 revisions. The 3rd is unacceptable, but the 4th has no creaking (at least not yet) - When I move the two tablets the power button shakes/makes a noise.

Here's my question/concern- at the same brightness level (whether 50%, 100%, or somewhere in between) the color temperature/screen display of the B50 is MUCH superior than the B60. Using the default background, on the B50 model I find the blue sky to actually be blue and the white color/text of the unlock screen to be white.

On the B60, the blue sky is grayish and the white text/color on the unlock screen is a little yellowed. This is on both tablet 3 and tablet 4 (B60 revision)

If I never had a B50 to compare it to, I might be fine. But there is a big difference and I think that you would all agree screen quality is most important. (I mean, that's what you stare at when using the tablet) - The B60's just look a little washed.

Here's what I'm wondering- are all B60's this way? Has anyone compared the two screens? And, do you think I should just keep the B50 and deal with the creaks (because eventually my B60's will get them) or am I better off just adjusting to the lesser screen and keeping tablet 4 as its build is a little better?

I need to send two of the tablets back soon and unsure how to proceed.

Also, is there any way to adjust the color temperate/contrast/other settings?

Anyone experiencing color issues?

Your help is really appreciated, thanks!

The chance of getting one that is perfect and has no flaws seems to be very slim.

Cool down people !!!

Being a hobby photographer myself noticing, that many other photographers use the TF, I think it's a very interesting find, that the B60's seem to have a very different color temperature than the B50's.

That was one of the reasons for MY decision to buy it ... the colors on my TF (B50) are great compared to the other current tablets, except the iPad.

But it's right, chances are nearly zero to get a perfect unit ... mine has slight light bleed and one dust speck under the screen glass, everything else is fine. Nevertheless I keep it to avoid getting an even worse unit.
