First off, don't discharge to 0%. All it does is hurt your battery. Doesn't make much of a difference with regards to battery reading accuracy. To calibrate, charge to 100%, then bump charge a couple times to make sure you're maxed, then calibrate, and use normally. Be sure to start charging when the battery low warning appears, and it's better for your battery if you charge before then.

The messed up readings after a reboot will go away after you've charged/discharged a few times during normal use.

There are a bunch of things you can do to stretch your battery life. The biggest one is to darken your launcher as much as possible, either with themes or dark backgrounds. I use a solid black background because I prefer battery life to eye candy. It also looks pretty nice anyway. No need to be skeptical. I didn't photoshop anything.
[Vibrant General] dullknives:
i've never understood the whole 'use a dark homescreen' logic. yes dark colors are better for AMOLED but who just sits there and stares at their homescreen for hours? if i unlock my phone i'm either: A. checking a widget, 2 seconds. or B. opening an app - again, 2 seconds if i have a shortcut or 3-4 if i have to find it. either way i'm never on my homescreen for more than a few seconds at a time.

am i missing something here?

Its probably because your phone can't handle under volting . Try changing the voltages back to stock and see if that helps.

Similar Setup

I've been using the Project-V 2.2 ROM with Bali's 1.8.8UV kernel and I easily make it through 14 hours of high usage. I'm using the UVKB5 modem.

This is how my usage looks like: Unplug at 10AM, I make voice calls for about 1.5 hours in the morning and about 2 hours in the evenings, T-mobile's HSDPA is always-on, weather social networks and email get constantly updated, do 5-6 voice-searches and surf the internet for about 30 minutes though the day, send about 20 texts a day, phone's display is on almost all the time as I turn it on quite often to check email, update facebook and foursquare, btw GPS is on full-time too. Phone goes back to the charger at 2 or 3AM with about 5% battery left.

My battery stats usually look like

Display: 58%

Voice calls: 36%

Cell standby:4%

Phone idle:2%

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:34 PM ----------

Yep I've been having this problem 2-3 times a day with the Bali UV kernel. But it's not too bad 'cos my phone freezes for about 5 seconds then gets back to normal. It's not a bad deal considering the amount of battery you can get out of this kernel :)

When I get a Calendar notification with my screen off, if I unlock the lockscreen, it goes directly to that event. Then if I back out of that event, the notification is cleared from the status bar. Is there any way to keep that notification pending in the notification bar?
[HTC EVO 3D] bso44:
So nobody has an answer for this? There's got to be a way to keep the notification pending in the status bar.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Open up the calendar app and press menu and select settings. Its an option there to set reminders. You can set it to remind you ever 5 minutes. I think that might work. Also try just hitting home instead of backing out of the event.

Hope this helps.

If you go into calendar then menu settings look around in notifications, there is a setting for pop up and one for notification bar. Just enable the notification one and you are good to go. A great calendar app is "calendar snooze" check it out it has a real snooze function with pop up and or just notifications.

Not much different, the lite version is basically identical to the full version although it may have advertisements. Once you download the lite version, it will give you an option for the full one.

Hey guys,

This is a simple one-line change. It's only going to effect the condition where you are in-call and audio is one-way (the other end can't hear you, but you can hear them...) and for example flipping speakerphone on/off will fix the problem. This patch, will hopefully keep you from having to do that!

TOPA Users

This will do absolutely nothing to fix the issue where an incoming call on first boot will lock up the device & reboot it... This has nothing to do with that crippling issue, so unfortunately you should still take care to make an outbound call first... as usual. Thanks!

This kernel is built off of the autobuild from .27, so the newest kernel + this tiny patch. They are attached for your convenience, let me know if the above effect is achieved. Replace as usual per Incremental Updates.

I don't really care about wifi, BT, any of that! Only if the in-call audio routing has improved!!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] arrrghhh:
Dev's Only!

I might have accidentally bricked my SGS 2. I get a screen saying:

"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again"

with a mobile phone and a computer logo with a Yellow triangle in between.

I know abt Rooting and ROM flashing etc and has been doing it for the last couple or years.

I flashed Franklin's XXKG3 Kernels, and before I could flash Chainfire's XXKG3 kernel, the USB ports refused to recognize my handset. I can still go into download mode but the Odin or Samsung Kies etc. won't do nothing.

Keeps saying "USB Device not recognized"

Uninstall the Samsung USB Driver from Control Panel

START/Control Panel/Programs and Features

Select "SAMSUNG USB Driver for Mobile Phones" and then uninstall

reboot your PC and then re-install the Samsung USB Driver from:-

C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\USB Driver

and run "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones.exe"

Doing that will make sure there is no USB driver corruption.

I had the same problem on my SGS4g after updating to a leaked 2.3.4 rom, which would not make phone calls. Tried to use heidmall to downgrade by loading a new rom. After installing the usb driver as described here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14798367&postcount=1 . After reboot I get the error screen <phone..!..Computer> "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again". I then took the following steps.

I came across this site: http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Bricked_Screen Under the bricked section it mentions a couple things to try. I the reboot cycle with a couple of times and kept on getting the same screen. Still no go.

I took Odia's advice an did a complete removal of all usb drivers as mentioned and reinstalled kies. This was key in getting odin to recognize the phone again.

My solution:

I try Odin again to try to get it to recognize my phone. I open odin with the usb connected in this state and it is not recognized. I pull battery, it boots to error screen. I restart odin and then plug in the usb and it is recognized. I was then able to load my pit, pda, phone, csc back onto the phone with odin. The first time it tried to load the data it failed, the second time it worked!

Interestingly I never got the "Download Screen". I was still on the mentioned error screen, yet odin was able to still see the phone. The status bar still showed up on the error screen as the fresh rom was being loaded.

I thought I was totally bricked, but this method worked in my case. Hope something similar might work for you.

I still don't know I would get this error screen and have to go through this after loading the required usb driver for heimdall? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo13aug79:
OMG! It's WORKING!

Thanks a lot to you all guys for the co-operation....:p

So, what did I do???? I uninstalled Kies and re-installed a couple of times but it won't access it. Tried Odin in all possible ways, No success. While playing and after ordering a "Jig" from some1 in USA,

I thought of something else and while the phone still being connected with the pc, I ran SuperOneClick, but it went on saying waiting for the device,.... I accidentally or in frustration hit the "HOME" button and it started doing something, USB drivers and Modem drivers installed on PC. Then I started Odin and the port went "Yellow". And I flashed it with the XXKG3.....

OMG! I'm so much relieved!!!!!!!! thanks God

thank you all too:D

Can you get into download mode? If yes then reflash stock firmware using Odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princeomi:
A bricked phone is a phone which will not respond. It maybe a soft brick or hard.

If you can get into download or recovery all you have to do is reflash. Wipe data & Cache. You will be up and running. If your phone is not recognised by your computer then reinstall kies.

How I fixed this problem

Surprisingly Kies saved me!!! I just fallowed the youtube channel for samsungservices under Using Kies Software Recovery Tool".

This will factory reset and wipe data

. Open Kies, click tools tap at the top of the screen, then click firmware upgrade and initialization. Turn off device and remove battery to see serial number MEID or in my case I used HEX number) and model number. type them in the appropriate spaces. reinstall the batter cover and connect phone to computer. It took about 10 min to finish and restart my phone. click okay a few times and check the read caution and check yo agree to terms to start the process. it took my S3 7-10 mins.

Yo can try this if still encountering FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore or market, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this another option freely other than fixing permission of vending.apk on /system/app/..

This might help you guys :).

1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.

2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.

3. You can achieve it through shell terminal.

Hope this helps you guys fix the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).

Hit thanks if it helps.

Hey there, i am feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all of the advice going on out there and need someone who can give me the answer to my specific problem hardware wise without breaking a sweat...

I flashed a froyo 2.2 rom onto my phone a while ago, recently all of my apps stopped working, and i could no longer install any apps.

Couple days ago i tried openning gmail and the screen went black and gave me the bzzzzzz...............................bzzz...bzzz...

vibrating error that you usually get when an app crashes.

Now the phone continues doing that even when booted up and stuff

It starts right after the S screen and repeats until the battery is removed.

My phone can't get into download or reset mode using the 3 button method so i bought a jig off of ebay, works like a charm.

however NOW, i cannot get the computer to see the phone; both when it is on and attached and in download mode and attached. Odin can't see it, neither can Kies.

If i can get either to see it, i can look up the flashing process to make sure everything is right.... but as of yet nothing i am doing is making a difference.

Thanks for any help
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfacer:
Ok, I'd focus on odin so disable Kies (in task manager processes - all the kies processes).

Then I would 1) reinstall the drivers (standalone ones) 2) Have a few versions of odin to try (like 1.3, 1.7 and ez odin) 3) Clean your usb port on the phone (and computer maybe too - whats the harm?).

Usually if you are sure the drivers are Ok then you should be able to odin working with a nice clean port. They are more sensitive to dirt/moisture or whatever than they should be.

Try that and let us know...

BTW Some people think that the order is important but I've never noticed that. I always have odin open and then connect it but cant hurt to try the other way around too.
