[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
I've had my nook on for 9 hours now, WIFI on (off with screen off) and 30 minutes of display on time. I've lost 9%, so I think I'm on the right track. This is how it should work, I.think. Of course, the results SHOULD be the same with autosync on, but manual sync for good battery life is an acceptable small tradeoff in my opinion.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Puddynose:
For the noobs in the audience, how exactly does one turn off autosync? Where is it located?

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Menu, settings, accounts and sync (I leave background data checked).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrowliu123:
I found part of the root cause, maybe some old application - can work on new version, but drain many battery. Today I uninstalled the 'Android photo widget', then only 1% battery has been drained within 2 hours when standby. Not totally solved the issue, but seems OK.

I guess you can also try this, find another 'bad' application which drains your battery.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sincitybronze:
Well guys, I'm not sure if I'm the last Nook Color user to continue fighting with this super annoying headache (I know SGS2 users are, too), but I think I'm on to something. I thought calendar sync was the culprit (and perhaps it was), but the Android OS drain (featuring nemeses suspend and event/0) would not go away and the arrival of this problem continued to be (apparently) random. I had an idea that, if the calendar sync kept alternating between suspend and event/0, perhaps this was due to old events that caused the sync process to continue longer than it would normally. So, based on this idea and logic, I changed my exchange e-mail account settings to sync email from the last month rather than to sync all mail. Looking at my work e-mail history, I realized I had e-mails in various folders and sent mail from as far back as 2001! Although it's nice to be able to access all e-mail history, perhaps the polling services were constantly monitoring the activity of super old emails and folders, which caused the suspend and event/0 processes to flip out. I don't know if this is the way Android actually works but it seemed logical to me. Well, for the last 24 hours, I have intermittently checked my cpu activity through systempanel, and what do you know, when the device is not being used, suspend and event/0 work as they are supposed to and Android OS stays low in the battery % list. PLEASE let this be the fix! I know there are other factors that contribute to the acting out of these processes, but on a stripped down device with no autosync or widgets and no out of control services identified in systempanel or watchdog, there can't be many other explanations. I'm curious if others with this problem have similar settings on their email accounts. In all the forums on different sites (and I've read a ton of them), I've never seen anything like this mentioned.

For those still following this thread, here's a tip. Use Gemini app manager (in the market). This has been one of the best tools I've found for managing wakelock issues and battery drain during standby. It allows you to identify apps that start up on their own (more than you think) and prevent them from starting randomly. In my experience this has been a huge cause of the standby drain problem showing up as Android OS, suspend, and event/0 in battery monitors. I'm currently sitting on 81% battery remaining with over 1 hour of screen time after 21 hours since my last charge. I know it's not a lot of usage but it's the standby time that's fantastic.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nud3eskimoninja:
I've a Galaxy S2. Tried everything, except disable autosync. Was losing 30-40% battery at night. So far since turning off google sync I'm getting about <1% battery use an hour. Will see if it continues. Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chemical1979:
I'm still running on stock firmware and was affected dramatically by this bug. After upgrading to latest KF4 via KIES, this got even worse.

So I tried something. I disabled WLAN permanently (and only activate it if it is really needed) and removed my microSD card.

THAT did the trick! Don't know which one or if both help such a lot.

I had some mp3s for ring/sms tones on that card (in /media/notification) and Android silently moved apps to that SD (not the internal flash).

That means that Android somehow always needed to access the card (->Android OS), for playing tones (sms) or ringtones. Or even for loading icons in the menu from the SD.

When I removed the microSD card my battery lifetime instantly went up from 12-18h (Event / Suspend / Android OS Bug) to 3 days!

Critical for me

Look my print screen... Just 5h and 92%. Very critical for me!

My device: Samsung galaxy Note with OS 2.3.5 (stock rom w/o root --- for while!).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
I am in desperate need of help you guys! I screwed up so hard that I don't even know where to begin...

THE SITUATION:

-Right now when I go to turn on my phone, it will only stay on the current SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen (the very first screen when booting your phone) and it keeps flashing in and out.

Before trying to use Odin to put back the original Kernal on my phone, it was just stuck as the SAMSUNG GALAXY S I9000 screen, still wouldn't start. <I followed this website step by step>

http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...-to-a-stock-rom-after-installing-darky's-rom/

BEFORE ALL OF THIS EVER HAPPENED:

I finally rooted my phone and manage to download Clockworkmod recovery on my phone and then used it to flash Darky's 10.2 custom ROM. Everything turned out great except at the beginning of the boot, the screen turned all rainbow coloured, completely distorted, and it continued to do that. I then tried to go back to Recovery mode to do the Voodoo lagfix but I couldn't even get into the recovery mode anymore, it either wouldn't let me, or it did but the screen didn't go to it properly (more likely the first one). I read somewhere that if you reflash your phone again, it should make all the tweeks go away. So I tried that from the Darky's tools menu and ever since then, I've been stuck with the Boot Screen this whole time...

I already bricked my phone once, and that was before the Flashing Boot Screen.

I really need help you guys, I would at least like to have my phone back to the original basis, at least! Your help would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU :)

P.S. (i'm not that great at all this phone tweeking, but I've succeeded in doing it up until yesterday)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tamaleddon:
Weird colors on boot usually are a sign of an incorrect bootloader version. Since you seem to be familiar with darky stuff (ugh) you could try the darky resurrection edition; there should be easy to follow instructions on their site.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
I just flashed the RE version and it's making some progress. Definitely no weird colors.

PROBLEM:

-the boot screen is still flashing when trying to boot my phone, only this time it's with the "Darkcore & Darky's ROM" logo on it. The flashing is at a slower pace this time around.

ALSO:

I can get into the stock recovery screen, I hope this can somehow help

what should I doo!!?!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Ok see your here too and more q's for you based on what I see here:

1) What did you start with as a rom before 10.2 (stock GB, Froyo rom or ???)

2) The RE version - was that GB or Froyo?

I am thinking as the other poster alluded to is that maybe you went from a Froyo rom to 10.2 without getting the GB bootloader from a stock rom (odin with bootloader update checked) and now you are still working with the wrong bootloader?

If that sounds like what happened try flashing the RE edition for Froyo (9.3 I think) if you haven't already.

G
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
Once I rooted my phone, I automatically went from Stock Froyo to Darky's 10.2 extreme edition. It worked and everything except for that color disfiguration and the clockworkmod recovery not working.

It's weird because after I flashed my first darky's rom, i checked the phone and it said that the firmware version was 2.3.X (I believe X may have been 4). So from what you're saying, I don't exactly think it has anything to do with the fact that I went straight from froyo stock to GB darky ROM.

So are you saying that I should flash darky's 9.3 for Froyo and THEN flash the latest version?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] GalaxyKnight:
As far as i read on the Darky Site you have to activate Lagfix to install 10.2

Do you?

In other case.

Install Resurrection 9.2 FW:

(sorry. new member no links outside allowed: Go darky forum, stable roms, darky resurrection 9.2)

If that works your bootloader if for Froyo and afterwards you can go on to flash Darkys 10.2 like written in the Darky Forum.

But i would suggest to stay on Darky´s 9.5 with 2.2.1

It is the stable version with no bugs at all. This gingerbread sucks a lot with Akku Drain, Light sensor and other thing. Also no call records.

I will stay on 9.5 so far. Best solution at the moment...

The thing with installing 10.2 you installed without installing 2.3.3 rom before could be, that is maybe possible to install Darkys 10.2 Theme on a 2.2.1?

But no guarantee...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sxi200:
The colour distortion problem is 100% caused by incorrect bootloaders. Download jvq from samfirmware (or another 3 file gingerbread of you have one already), use the Odin version contained in the download, tick repartition and update bootloader then flash.

Download cf root for jvq and flash that as PDA without repartition. After the phone boots downlaod darkyrom from the market and from it flash darky 10.2.

Personally the kernal that comes with darkys takes too long to load the phone so I use galaxian instead. Phone flies and it's the first custom jvq rom I've used which doesn't reboot itself.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
Thanks for your response! Greatly appreciated. But at the time, I'm just looking to get my phone to work. It still doesn't work, it's still only stuck flashing the bootscreen, nothing else.

From my other post:

Okay, basically at this point, I just want my phone to work I've tried what you said. I remember that before rooting my phone initially I was running Froyo 2.2.1. So I found the ROM for that ( http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm ) Just like you said. I downloaded from the *Provider Samsung Galaxy S i9000 heading and picked the I9000BOJS5 ## from February 2011 because I think somewhere around there I updated my phone to Froyo. Flashed it, did everything, still no luck.

I've had a recent hunch though. When the bootscreen boots up, it keeps saying i9000 only, when before it used to say i9000M at least for a little bit (yes my phone is i9000m). Is there a stock froyo rom that's specifically designed to go with the i9000m model? Or are they just all the same?

Never give up

-Thank you so much
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Yes jl2 or kc1 roms are I9000M specific. But both need dbdata.rfs added to the roms from samfirmware.com if you repartition.

There was a post on the cm7 forums with a complete jl2 rom someone compiled with dbdata.rfs added. Look for that post as it might have some other info too.

The i9000 you see means the kernel is for i9000. But that shouldn't matter.

It's worth a try but I think that a trip to samsung is on your phones future.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dannybuoy:
Could be that you have a lagfix enabled and the stock ROM can't read the EXT4 file system. If so, try flashing another custom ROM via Odin (e.g. GingerReal), disable the lagfix to go back to RFS, then from there you can go back to the stock ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Well CM7 forum is down but here is the most of the link, you can google this and look at the cached pages. cyanogenmod topic/15707-how-to-restore-to-stock-on-your-gt-i9000m/

You should be able to click to the multi upload link too.

Now - you are aware of course that our i9000m models can suck and die fairly readily, especially when flashing certain roms. Has yours even been returned yet? Mine has and they replaced the motherboard. You may actually have a warrenty job and in any regard they won't likely fight too hard (just flash it to one of the jl2 or kc1 rom first).

If you want to find out for sure. look for the i9000m threads where they install eclair and use the external sd to boot and then look at the memory (internal then shows as external I think - its in the thread). Basically if it shows 0 available you're hooped.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
I'm downloading the ROM from this link, could you verify it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=883568
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
It may not have dbdata.rfs in it which you need if you repartition. I think they leave it out so regular users do not have to reinstall all their Apps.... Just look at what's in the file...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
there is a I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar

and a SS_DL.dll

so All i would have to do is just put that .tar file in PDA field and get a regular .pit file and check off the re-partitions
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roma17:
Okay, I have great news!!!!!!!!

I flashed that previous stock froyo ROM and finally can use my phone once more!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Special thanks goes to gfacer! I could never have done it without you!

needless to say, I still require a custom ROM such as Darky's 10.2 RE on this phone of mine.

As a final request, would you be so kind to list all the things necessary for me to do in order to get all the way to darky's 10.2 with the lagfix and all?

Or if not, at least a thread or website that says exactly how to do it on my phone (i9000m) ?

Thanks ever so much!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gfacer:
Great!

My advice would be to pretend it never happened, but read all the instructions for the rom you are interested in and start from scratch.

Generally I would go custom froyo kernel from odin which will root you and give cwm generally, update bootloader to gb via a stock rom or ezbase, then flash 10.2 via cwm.

Darky has excellent guides also look at ezbase thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] from.insider:
To load Darky 10.2 successfully on your phone, you have to flash JVP or JVQ bootloader over your phone. The best solution is flash Stock Rom with bootloader over your phone. Then, flash Darky rom over your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ionphoenix:
i have a grandfathered data plan and i recently got my infuse..it's now rooted and custom rom (infused 1.5). the tethermanager is already blocked or uninstalled by the titanium backup..i can enable mobile ap but i wasn't sure whether at&t will detect it and charge me extra..they almost got me with the iphone.. or should i download a 3rd party app for hotspot tethering?..i've been reading and searching for hours now but couldn't get a concrete answer..i tried the apn settings too..

thanks in advance
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
Go for it. I consistently use Mobile AP and have used about 5 gbs in the last couple days and AT&T hasn't said a thing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Pilotgod:
Go for it. If AT&T does flag you, you get an email that is basically a slap on the wrist, request not to use more than your "fair share", and a reminder that by the contact they can change your plan our cut service. If you get that just lay off for a while. Nobody its going to show up at your door with guns because you used a lot of data.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Can you get into download mode (vol down+home+power while putting the battery in)?

If you can, just reflash a stock or custom rom in odin (like a darky odin rom) as guided by whatever rom you choose.

If you cannot get into download mode then we should know that too.

Edit: oh it looks like you could (and hopefully still can). Try a different rom or reflash. Sometime things do go wrong but as long as you can get to the download screen you should be fine in the end.

G
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
Yes, I can get into download mode! (thank you for reading my post).

If it's not too much to ask, could you maybe find the ROM that would be good for me to flash, considering my situation?

I want to be sure that it's what the top tech guys would recommend :)

A link would be appreciated

thank you again!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
I'd start with a Darky rom - lots of users - active forum and odin editions for your situation. I have to go but you'll find the link on the first page of the development section.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
So in essence all I have to do is flash the Darky ROM V10.2 with Odin using the Download mode on my phone and it should be okay?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Wait one caveat. Was it a gingerbread rom or froyo? Use a Darky rom of the same type...

Then yes it should be ok if you follow their guide. Cross fingers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
well...I did everything you said. The ROM is on there alright, it flashed and everything (And I know this because now when the boot screen STILL FLASHES, the darkcore & darky's rom logo are on it too).

THIS TIME AROUND:

The stock recovery seems to work...

any ideas??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Well we are sort of in long shot territory now... OK first try using a different odin version or ez odin and reflash.

If still not working??

Might be warranty time then but others are welcome to chime in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
Alright I'll try and reflash the same one using a different version of odin the. I'll let you know what happened
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
tried ezodin, flashed it, and i still get the exact same thing :( I've exhausted every single possibility there is!!!

I really need help on this, my warranty is not gonna do anything because i have the phone rooted..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
If you flash a stock rom with pit the root is gone. It won't boot but they can't prove it was you either and I don't think it was you.

But see my other post on your other thread for one last thought.

G
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
okay that could be useful data potentially (let's hope it won't have to be).

If you didn't see my reply from the other thread, here it is:

Once I rooted my phone, I automatically went from Stock Froyo to Darky's 10.2 extreme edition. It worked and everything except for that color disfiguration and the clockworkmod recovery not working.

It's weird because after I flashed my first darky's rom, i checked the phone and it said that the firmware version was 2.3.X (I believe X may have been 4). So from what you're saying, I don't exactly think it has anything to do with the fact that I went straight from froyo stock to GB darky ROM.

So are you saying that I should flash darky's 9.3 for Froyo and THEN flash the latest version?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
No I think that you need froyo re edition then stock gb with bootloader (as the instructions say I thought) then a custom gb like 10.2.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
Ok, so just to be 100% on this

-I should flash Darky's 9.2 froyo onto my phone,

-then I should flash regular GB onto my phone (Not sure about the bootloader part though, if you could clarify that)(Also where would I get JUST a stock GB ROM?)

-then I can flash a custom GB ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roma17:
well i can safely say that flashing the 9.2 froyo rom was a fail. It's still doing the same old routine.

I just know that this problem can be fixed somehow without sending it in to bell or samsung or something.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
I think you are right but other than trying again and again, which I've done before -though now I know why I had too - I am out of suggestions. Good Luck and if I have a brainwave I'll let you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
OK a few last brainwaves:

1) Try a fully complete stock rom with cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, factoryfs.rfs, modem.bin, param.lfs, zImage, and sbl.bin (this was from JL2 rom for Bell - not sure if they all have the sbl.bin) and pit.

The key is to make sure it is complete. Try downloading the same rom from 2 different sources just to be sure its not a corrupt download (going overboard I know).

2) Can you get into recovery? Try to format partitions (not system) under advanced features (I think - I only have 3e right now as I am trying to diagnose other issues).

3) If you have a froyo rom on at one point, try to put a steam recovery kernel on. Its not really being developed anymore but I think that if you put a CWM packaged rom on to the external SD you could flash from there or at least move it to the internal and then flash it. Worth a shot. Or you might be able to transfer one in regular CWM recovery - can't recall as I have not had to try for about 8 months.

4) If you really want to try something completely different, and I am not sure I've got the balls if it was me but if you can get a file to flash from CWM or steam that you can get on from the external SD, you might try CM7. It uses a completely different file system so you'd have to go back to froyo via odin only (as a samsung based rom will not play well when flashed on top of the cm7 file system).

And calling it a day at this one...
