What ROM are you using?

I usually have brightness set to auto, same as you all Samsung apps frozen, am not using Tegrak i don't believe it's compatible with Cognition ROM, are you using Juice Defender Ultimate or other apps,etc,etc, im on setcpu im 200 min - 800 max - on demand and screen off profile - 200 min - 500 max - consertivave - priority 100.

Seriously impressive all the same..

I am using stock KF3 rooted nothing else i am using except described in previous post.

[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
That is the best battery life ive ever seen on XDA for any type of smartphone never mind one like the GS2, did you use the Internet/Wi-Fi/GPS/Bluetooth,etc, much,do you have any widgets on your screen, push e-mail,etc, im amazed your getting that amount of time without using Juice defender or some other similar app.

:)
[Galaxy S II General] crush:
Bluetooth yes for 10 minutes transfering some files.

Gps yes for around 1 hour (you can see that in pics atleast it shows usage for ndrive there)

wifi yes around 1 hour but its always on mostly (mostly used for market to download and test applications, gmailing and also some browsing)

3g or edge no i didn't use it.

Games yes i played like drag race etc.

widget yes, battery widget and the running app widget and live wallpapers.
[Galaxy S II General] Anynoupy:
Mine, I think there's a little (big) problem :

Considering the first 8 hours were during the night so I didn't touch my phone :

Running on VR2.1, many things push or so (like 15/30mins refresh) [mails, fb, twitter, news, weather, etc], and good modem (KG2) and CF-Root 4.1.

Any idea/advice please ?

A better rom maybe ?

Thanks in avance ;)

For those of us n00bs here, what or where is the IMEI number?

Also just to clarify, this is a unique number for each phone, yes?

@OP- What's that Widget is (temp, voltage of battery)? Forgot the name!

The real secret to great battery life is to disable all the data connections and not use the phone. Since most people are pretty active with their phones, threads about stand-by time are pretty meaningless. Actually, with over a dozen battery life threads already running, you could say new battery life thread are pretty meaningless too.

I'm on stock K2-CL. I used 3G just a bit today while in a restaurant, wifi is always on, but I normally sit in front of the computer most of the day, or use my tablet at home, so I do very light surfing - mostly while on the can.

I've not installed "app freezers", nor underclocked the processor, nor rooted or removed anything that isn't stock android. Not stopping tasks in the task manager. In the screenshot below, I did play around a bit on Google Earth for 15 min or so, I'm surprised not to see the android market in there because I feel that's what I used most. I use a live wallpaper that's fairly bright (moving clouds).

Brightness on auto - automatic gmail notifications, contact syncs etc.

I'm going to go on a big trip next week, where electricity will sometimes be optional. I do have that Samsung battery case thinggie coming the mail next week - and already have an external battery as well for emergencies, because this phone will die in an hour or two using the gps, or playing games, or doing serious web surfing - or a combination of those things. It runs very hot too if you use it constantly several hours (drove 500 kilometers last week, the phone was very very hot - seemed unhealthy).

BatteryTime (1.2).apk
[Galaxy S II General] c4Lvin:
Seriously, 50-60 hours of YOUR personal usage with only 3+ hours of screen on time means nothing. You are a light to moderate user at most. Especially if you are not 3G or Hspa connected with data running. Most heavy users get 12-18 hours which is more than enough because everyone should be charging their phone when they are sleeping.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Starting point with heavy battery drain has to be stopping the drain when phone on standby or sleeping .Thats where some users are showing a very heavy battery drain .

[Galaxy S II General] Nathalex27:
I have a funny comment....I'm on vr2.1 using nymphetamine 2.0.1 kernel and after recharging a little to 80% before I left my house, my battery % went up 2% to 82 after one hour.:-D it's @ 80% now 30 min. Using wifi later. Thought it was funny.

My best is 23 hours and then i'm on 10% and recharge back to 100 overnight. I use 3g 24/7 for whatsapp and msn. I'm a busy man ;-). Testing vr2.1 now let ya'll know results.
[Galaxy S II General] Raymond77:
I agree. If you're a heavy user then you really should expect the battery to drain quickly. However if the device spends most of it's time in standby, with emails and Facebook/Twitter/G+ syncing (which I suspect is the case with most people), then it's not unreasonable to want the battery to last longer than a day or two.

Rooting, freezing the Samsung guff and switching off Fast Dormancy has give me the best battery life I have seen yet; 25% left at 72 hours. This is to me acceptable battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] kyleforge:
This phone sounds amazing! I just bought one. I might have to do an Eric Cartman and freeze myself because I can't wait the 3-5 days shipping! :p
[Galaxy S II General] Mshoss:
Hey I'm using my phone I would say semi high user and it seams like I'm burning my battery up quick.

I'm on a unlocked GT-I9100M.

I have a few questing what is wifi sharing and my is my singel 95 percent of the time not connected.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Since it's not happening to everyone, and every phone leaves the factory the same way, and assuming it's not hardware, it has to be:

1) Carrier/network issues

2) Wi-Fi/router issues

3) Apps and configuration of the individual phone

4) Some combination of the above

Some people have used every task killer, process monitor, and battery helper in existence and still get ****ty battery life. Others are bone stock, syncing everything that can sync, using push e-mail, and get great battery life. Again, if it's not hardware, what other explanation is there beside the three items listed above? Every person on this board has their phone configured differently so there will never be a Holy Grail one-size-fits-all magical solution.
[Galaxy S II General] Mixy:
Having over 2 hrs of screen time, out of 6 hours on battery, is not "semi high".

Phone signal info is a bug, and wifi-sharing is frozen on my phone ;)
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Battery life varies on a number of factors.

Heavy usage like 5 - 6 hours I can get through a day, charge at night.

Light to moderate usage I can get through 2 days.

At the moment I'm running VR and Ninpo kernel, 13 hours 20 mins in, screen on time 2hrs 4 mins battery left 61%. I reckon I can get a good 2 or 3 more hours usage out of that with screen on and still have juice left over! This has included voice calls, web browsing, YouTube, some gaming, checking of mail, checking XDA, and FB and such.

Above includes Sammy bloatware removed, push email, constant data, gps, auto brightness and some apps syncing. CPU underclocked and undervolted.

On standby with these settings and minimal usage I could probably get over 3 days!
[Galaxy S II General] diby_2000:
That seems like average usage for me aswell. I could only ever get 3Hrs screen on time but now I'm getting 4Hrs.

I think screen on tim eis the bast measure of battery performance on this phone.

Eg. some get 3 day usage off one charge but they only have 3Hrs screen on time, others have screen on for 4Hrs and drain the battery in less than 15Hrs.

Screen on time as an indicator can also be squewed as well if for example if you watch a movie or some less software proccessor intensive app your screen on time can be extended.

It can probably be related to how mutch you 'touch' the screen, using it and giving it instructions to perform.

Let me know what everyone thinks of my theory.
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
My battery life really depends on the usage, I can get either a day or as high as 4-5days. Same with my SGS1

There are days I get 7-8hrs on screen time and still have over 15% power left ;)
[Galaxy S II General] veyka:
I'm on 6hours of screen on time, lots of data moved around via wifi. With 13% battery left.

No complaints about battery here!
[Galaxy S II General] diby_2000:
@EarlZ and veyka

Is this with allot of video type screen on or usual, web browsing, games etc?
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well I am not particularly impressed by the battery life buy still it's good.

Here, I spent my almost 6 hours of screen on time in 2.5 days.

[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Is this good?
[Galaxy S II General] __NBH__:
Its the screen which uses most of the battery so if the display is down in third or fourth on your battery list it means the phone is mostly in standby and will last a couple of days at least.

Display is always top of my battery usage list by a huge margin and my best is 5 hours 7 mins screen on time with 24% battery left which was on villain rom with apps frozen I don't need which is the best I've ever got compared to other roms or stock.

Hello i'm first time on this site
[Galaxy S II General] fro5tie:
this is the first time i didnt charge it over night and got two days decent use out of it. 2x push emails on, as well as twitter, facebook, google plus on push
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
^ Oh, you kept the Wi-Fi on for 1½ day! That's good.
[Galaxy S II General] tosin01:
Oh, this is still on stock. 2.3.3 and data off I think.
[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
These threads are useless... Those who get 1½ days+ are barely using their phone, although they claim to be moderate to heavy users - riiight... :-)
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Screen on time is probably the only method we have to see how well the device lasts, my screen on has been on for over 4 hours and my battery stats are 1 day 9hrs to me that's decent spread over two working days. Now a typical use of 4 - 6 hours a day battery can last my device around 14 - 18 hours but only on some occasions will I spend that many hours on my phone. So for 4 - 5 hours spread over 2 working days for me is sufficient. By working days I mean lasting me through work time.
[Galaxy S II General] sackynuts:
Agreed! I get about the same time on a cycle here, which is fine for me. :-) I just recall some ROM on here with a screencap of a 5d+ cycle and that just makes it a joke, I think...
[General Questions and Answers] ChillyWilly72:
I was not sure how or where to go with this question but you guys are the most knowledgable group of phone techy peeps that I know of so here I am, hoping you can point me in the right direction.

I have loads of reminders, some of them are appointments that I absolutely must keep and some that are just general daily type stuff that are not critical and often optional, but that I would still like to be reminded about. Because there are so many reminders, making an alarm for all of them is extremely annoying. BTW, I use Nudnik to make sure I don't miss a reminder, this is why it is so annoying.

So, what I am looking for is a way or app or even two separate apps that will allow me to have some reminders pop up on screen with lights and sirens blaring and other less important reminders just pop up, no noise, non obtrusive other than the fact that it appears as a pop up that I can then dismiss.

Any suggestions? BTW, thanks in advance

p,s, forgot to mention that I'm on a captivate using serendipity 6.4 with the stock google calendar by way of gemini calendar & gtasks for to do list management all on the pure calendar widget.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikstiks:
Good Day,

Let me start by saying that I had tried to post this under a thread in the development section, but was denied as I am a new member.

I require some advice regarding a bricked Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The unit will not boot or enter download mode, only the navigation icons at the base of the device light up and turn off when holding the power button for a short period of time. My PC chimes as though it can see the device, yet does not show up in "my computer".

Odin sees the device, but hangs during flash attempts at "SetupConnection".

After reading the thread regarding unbricking your Galaxy Tab, I was unable to determine the nature of this particular "bricking".

The device entered this state after I had attempted to flash the device with the new Gingerbread update which downloaded from SamFirmware.com. This was not my first flash on this device, as I had the new version of the Overcome ROM installed, and was attempting to bring the device back to stock firmware for my region.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.:)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Put the tab to the wall socket and charge it for a few hours. Shutdown your pc and unplug it. Once the tab has charged. Connect to the PC and attempt to flash a decent stock firmware like overcome's stock safe. Good luck.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikstiks:
Thank you for the quick reply,

I have had the tab charging via the wall charger for some time now. Will there be an indication as to when it would be advisable to try the flash ie: the device's current boot behavior will change...

And your instruction to shut down my PC and unplug it, unplug the PC?

Can you give me any indication as to what has happened here? For future knowledge... and will my inability to reach download mode restrict my success rate on resurrecting my BRAND NEW TAB ... LOL!!

Thank You DarkPal
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Well your bootloaders arent screwed up as the tab is showing signs of life and is detectable in ODIN. Unless in a faaar fetched case of another hardware failure your tab firmware is corrupted. I asked you to unplug the PC to reset the USB host controllers (recommended in case there is a connectivity issue with usb).

Try to put the tab in download mode again after its been sufficiently charged and connect to pc then flash a decent stock firmware like overcome's stock safe.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikstiks:
Did the trick,

Thank you for this. Overcomes stock safe installed and running.

I do have an unrelated question when it comes to modem choice, and noticed that you authored the modem list in the dev section for these devices.

I am having some issue getting 3G connection, and cannot pinpoint if this is a firmware issue or modem issue.

I am in Canada on the Fido network, running GT-P1000

Can you suggest a modem?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
Depends on what bands your network supports. I dont reside in Canada so I wouldnt know maybe someone else using fido can help? In most general terms the JPZ modem works for most GSM networks give it a shot first. If fido is an 850 band network consider JJ3 modem.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sikstiks:
Thank you

I am very happy to post that I have resolved my issue regarding the lack of connectivity in my region.

It was in fact a modem issue.

I found the solution on this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=847273

I followed the instructions on that thread to test the modem under the ROM prescribed there... it worked on all available bands in my region, and proceeded to use just the modem along with the overcome ROM, and again success.

I am attaching the modem for any other Canadian Fido users encountering this problem. Hope it I can pay it forward.

Thank you again for all you help.
