[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
Hi there folks! So, the galaxy s2, it's an awesome phone, the best i ever had, probably as powerful as a decent netbook. almost impossible to make it lag, the screen is awesome etc... but there's a serious drawback, which is making me want to go back to the iphone4, the battery life. i know, there are bazillions of threads about it, but come on, all people reply to those threads are suggestions, almost placebo like. e.x. "use juice defender", "turn off wifi, gps..", come on, these are not solutions. even with minimal usage, i can barely get a day out of my samsung, with heavy usage, i have to charge it 3 times a day, and considering that it uses a stupid and extremely low current limiter through the chipset (around 500 mili amps?) it takes 3 hours to charge it. for comparison, i have a asus transformer with the keyboard dock, hell, this makes me even more sad with the galaxys, as the transformer, lasts a whole day (at least 14-15hrs) at 70% brightness while gaming.

so, what the problem samsung? I'm using Ninphetamine's kernel with lightening rom (all up to date), i tried other kernels, other roms, but all of them have this issue, even when everything was stock, a day of minimal usage. here are some screens, android os is consuming most of the battery, does the section "android os" also include the kernel battery consumption?

is there a extended version of the android built in battery usage, a more specific one?
[Galaxy S II General] jimhaddon:
Works fine for me. Get a grip and read around. Easily get 3 days with average use.
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
I hope you wipe battery in between your rom flashes...

I am Heavy user and it lasts me around 13-15 hours and am on stock not rooted.

Besides was curious How heavy you use it cause If you are like sitting whole day with it you are better off on the computer I guess :D
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
If you are using ninphetamine and an android 2.3.4 ROM and still having battery issues, it's your problem. You have an app installed that drains battery, this is not a suggestion, this is fact. Do a completely clean install of an original dev rom, remove google latitude if it's included (known to drain battery).

If you aren't making it through atleast a full day of heavy use with that setup, then it's a hardware problem and you should RMA it.
[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
well no, i never wipe my battery, why would i ? battery drainage by android os seems to be consistent. well just in case its a magic trick, i'll try it now
[Galaxy S II General] darksulfur5:
The transformer is a tablet, of course it has space for a huge battery extended by another huge battery in the keyboard. Perhaps you have a faulty battery that's not keeping charge well because I get nearly a whole day on a single charge, med to heavy use. And juice defender is a legitimate program that actually works, its not a placebo. Get a grip and stop blaming legitimate programs, or else no one will take you seriously. Read around, try some different roms, but it might just be a bad battery, if you have warranty, get the battery replaced. It couldn't hurt to try.
[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
alright, any suggestions of a rom and a kernel for battery life? gonna wipe everything.
[Galaxy S II General] darksulfur5:
Well threes your problem. Its not a magic trick, its fact. Do it every time you install a new rom :D Also, as I said before, it might be a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
15 hours off charger, 53% battery left, 1 hr voice calls, 1 hr screen on. Not bad I'd say. I've maintained everything on except bluetooth. I have google talk, and trillian, whatsapp, facebook, tuenti, push email and a couple other things going on in the background like twitter and such, and I couldn't be happier. Well, if it could make me breakfast ;). I'd say you're doing something wrong. Stock, 2.3.3 not rooted. I'm just a normal geek joe!
[Galaxy S II General] darksulfur5:
Ninphetamine kernel and stock rom or cyanogen. If you still get bad results, rma that $h!t
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
So far I've used VillainROM with ninphetamine which gave great battery life, and MIUI with the kernel included which is also pretty good (not as good as villainrom with ninphetamine though). As daily ROM I use MIUI though since I love the interface and theming options.
[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112916

you mean this one?
[Galaxy S II General] seshmaru:
I wouldn't suggest Cyanogen at this time, it works pretty well but it's not a stable or near final release. Also you can't use ninphetamine with Cyanogen without breaking things since ninphetamine was made for stock ROMs.
[Galaxy S II General] ekjl:
Battery wipe DOES help. I can say that with confidence cause I have seen the effect.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
Completely and utterly sick to ****ing death of whining, moaning 'tards *****ing about battery life. Piss off to iPhone land.

"Can't take this anymore"? Get a frigging life. Buy a new battery. Try not installing a gazillion apps or whatever.
[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
good point.
[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
Click the thanks button then ;)
[Galaxy S II General] swatsqad:
that was epic major sarcasm there (get it?), but whatever, cheers
[Galaxy S II General] KaliKot:
Like everyone said: Wipe Battery Stats, and/or switch to VillainRom. I dont think Lite'ning produces the best battery life in my experience. I couldnt stand the rom.

And one of the good things about Android phones is that you can buy an extended battery from ebay. They're quite affordable as well :)
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
I get crazy battery life on Litening rom. You need to do factory reset before or after installation. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] addoni:
I have a samsung galaxy tab rooted with overcome. The tab has internal memory and a second internal memory called sd. It also has a micro sd memory. I am looking for a way to store my apps to the sd card like app2sd. All that i have tried keeps installing to the internal sd memory.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayochs:
i know it's been asked and i don't see any solutions, but facebook adds +1 to every number of it.

i just added someone, and i added their number manually, but they also happen to have their # on facebook. since i sync my stuff, it automatically synced, and the FB number with +1 over wrote the regular number, so now when i send them texts, they don't get it. i don't want to unsync it, but there's GOT to be a way to fix this. yet another reason why facebook is utter crap.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
You can go into the "dialer" app and clear the cache, I read that that worked for someone.

If not, click on the app at the top of this list to download the Contacts Cleanup for our CDMA carrier. It'll get rid of the plus signs before every number. Be sure not to get rid of the "1" that's in the country code field! Make sure you save that .apk file on the phone somewhere and re-install the app manually if you flash another rom, because the market will just install the regular "Contacts Cleanup" that doesn't really work with our phones too well.

I also use "Contacts Analyzer" to clean up duplicate contacts. They pile up pretty high if you flash roms often.
[Galaxy 3 General] marcelloLins:
Hi there !

Im currently Running Kyrillo's Rom 7.0 and using a 2GB SC CARD.

Since i've partitioned it to use the A2SD+ function avaible for android, and also created a SWAP partition, how do i backup my apps ?

Seems like i have to choose which partition to backup and where to backup or w.e

How do i do that in case i need to Wipe my data again to flash another rom ?

Thanks in advance !
[Galaxy 3 General] Bubble-be:
You need a fat32 partition on your sdcard to save your backups. Have you left some space on there or did you use it all up with swap and a2sd ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaos67731:
Is there a way for stop the market from updating its self?

On the new market I can not update or install a lot of apps so every time I

need to I have to go to

settings > and uninstall the market update .
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacoballen22:
Use titanium backup and freeze market updater.

With the release of the Samsung Hercules close to upon us, i was wondering if anyone knew if i9100 roms will work on the hercules or if we will have to wait to get our own
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
You mean the tmo celox? Different modem, different soc, bigger screen... i doubt it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juls317:
Celox? Last i heard it was, and always had been, the hercules
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Celox/hercules don't matter, totally different hardware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
SGH T989 = Samsung Galaxy Hercules

no clue what is that Celox

spec wise they seem to be the same phone, even the back panel says Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juls317:
I was confused as to what the Celox was. But that's good to know, thanks

so with the release of the Hercules only 3 days away, i was wondering if anyone had anymore information on my question regarding potential roms for it and if they would be the same as for the i9100?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Wrong, the T-Mobile varient has a different processor. Also it has a 4.5 inch screen ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
Roms for the i9100 will not be compatible with the hercules. I'm sure like all the other variants, it will have it's own sub-forum and development support.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juls317:
I figured as much. Well that means I won't be getting it on launch day, i need to be able to use Titanium Backup....
[Thunderbolt General] daytonahemi08:
Hasn't worked since I loaded bamf 4.9 ???
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
There is not a version officially built for the Thunderbolt. This has been an issue for a long time.

Sent from Synergized Thunderbolt via the XDA Premium App
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
Yes, there is. It was included in the last official OTA the ThunderBolt received. Not only that, it has been updated in the market since the OTA and the update works fine. Added a new animation to the loading arrows.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
but wasnt the ota froyo
[Thunderbolt General] daytonahemi08:
Ya not gingerbread so I guess that's y its not working makes sense now..
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah if you're rooted and on GB, you do not have a working MyVerizon. Mine won't let me download it from the market.

Maybe I should have been more specific.
[Thunderbolt General] Old MuckenMire:
yeah you said official so I was just making sure people knew there was an official version for the TBolt. It's actually bloat now with the latest OTA.
[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
Yeah I'm sure once they release the official GB update, MyVerizon will be supported on our ROMs. Kind of sucks because that's how I paid my bill before. Now I have to go online or use the phone system.

Ease of use FAIL!
[Thunderbolt General] GMac0051:
MyVerizon and GB Roms

I have tested MyVerizon apk on multiple GB roms and the only one that it hasn't worked on is Synergy. This sucks because i have grown to love Synergy Rom the best. I hope they are able to figure out the issue.
[Thunderbolt General] Jaxwindle:
I've only been able to get it to work on Sky Raiders latest preview. Everyone has had different experiences I'm sure. I personally will be glad when it works across the board.
[Thunderbolt General] rebel98luder:
anyone have any ideas when their goin to put out a GB version of it, cuz like the guy earlier. thats how i paid my bill, watched my minute usage and such.
[Thunderbolt General] ThisIsCrazy:
The thing I don't like is there is no Family plan support in their app.
[Thunderbolt General] ctinsley:
Ok guys try this:

http://db.tt/2AEdRXd

It should install no problem, but if you guys have a problem drop the file into system/app folder using root explorer. Once installed reboot then download my Verizon from the market.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
what does this file do?

The newest my verizon will install on my phone, but fc's upon opening. I have working nfl app. Using xpacks nosense rom (sense based)
[Thunderbolt General] ctinsley:
Most custom roms are missing the Verizon single sign on which is the app that my Verizon uses to authenticate itself.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I have that, but the app still force closes. Weird thing is, it shows my balance behind the FC warning. It is connecting.

Same thing with verizon video, you can open it and browse videos, but only some videos play.
[Thunderbolt General] skeet43169:
This didn't do anything but make it not work at all it worked on gingeritis b4 they updated the my Verizon app
[Thunderbolt General] ctinsley:
This is the file that made it work for me on uberbamf the old my Verizon app worked before with out but when the update came it said was missing the login client. This should only work with the latest my Verizon and I also beleive that may have to clear the cache and data on the app.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
my verizon and the nfl mobile will omly work on a rom that includes what it takes to log in to "my verizon profile",just copying the vzwsso engine and ssopermission only works for a while.the it times out, the only rom I know of that prompts you to login after starting one of the apps is the bamf 2.3,find out what adr left in that rom and you find your fix,i dont know what to look for,but so far I have been thru 8 roms in 2 days to find one that nfl mobile worked on.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
NFL mobile works fine for me but the newest myverizon force closes. This using cleantheory based on 2.11.
[Thunderbolt General] satseaker:
try clearing the cache and data on my verizon and rebooting,havent tried that rom sorry it should work.
[Thunderbolt General] Angldvl81:
i have Synergy (and love it) and my verizon app isnt working either

does anyone know if the link works with syngery (at work so cant try it out)

(not enought posts to quote the link either)
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I haven't had any success with the new myverizon app and the old one makes you update...

edit: I have just flashed DT's newest sense rom (Shifttheory v1.3) and you can confirm that myverizon now works out of the box.
[Thunderbolt General] Angldvl81:
I was gonna flash that. I believe I have it downloaded already. Might have to give it a whirl
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
myverizon and nfl app works, but verizon video doesn't. go figure...
[Thunderbolt General] Angldvl81:
Eh, not too worried about Verizon vid. Good to know nfl does though! Yay football!!
[Thunderbolt General] sreddos:
I'm using the latest Thunderstick ROM and the My Verizon works on that one. Now, it is included in the ROM already, so I think that might help that, but it does work.

[Vibrant General] richardrahl:
Hey All I did a search on the forums for this but didn't see an answer so wanted to put this question out there.

My work allowed me to upgrade my work phone from the standard BB to a Samsung Vibrant. When I got the phone and put my T-Mobile SIM in, the phone worked but internet would not. I called support and found out that this was because my plan through work was for BB internet not Android. The same SIM chip works fine in a Nexus One that I have. I get internet access and everything.

So I thought that maybe if I get my Vibrant unlocked then I would be able to bypass that BB Internet plan requirement. Through my work we got the unlock code from T-Mobile. The unlocked, rooted Vibrant running CM 7 still won't connect to the internet.

is there anyway I can get internet connectivity on the Vibrant, other than asking T-Mobile to change the plan?

Thank you in Advance.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
You can try changing the APN under Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names

although, I don't know what APN your plan uses.. you can research and find what APN your plan uses and it SHOULD work if you enter the right one...

But don't take my word for this. I can be wrong!

Btw, in the APN menu, is there anything there already?

[HTC Wildfire S] mazourek:
Hi

I just bought WS and have a oportunity to try my friends Samsung Galaxy Ace. I can compare just a keyboard and typing on it and I was surprised about speed of Samsung! Reaction time between two different letters is very short to compare with Wildfire S! So when I write faster on WS than in text are missing letters, on Samsung not. Why ?

Does anybody have chance to compare Samsung keyboard with HTC ? just try! is that general different of brand or just model different ?

try on your phone tuch letters "A" and "L" and keept touching and increase speed till you reach border of your keyboard or fingers:)

Correct result shoul looks like : alalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal even you write very fast in my case on Smasung it was perfect.

But on WS looks final text in same speed like: aalllalllalalllalalallaaalalalallaalaalll

Is there any way how to increase reaction time on WS? if not than I sell my WS and buy Samsung :)

and sorry for my english
[HTC Wildfire S] l00k:
Tested it on my WFS and I see what your saying.

I use Swype beta for touchscreen input. Its a very fast way of typing when you get used to it
[HTC Wildfire S] b1ackb1rd:
Surely the WS is just too small to type quickly and accurately?

I have installed something called big thumb (?) or similar which makes things slightly better ... I wish I'd bought a bigger phone to be honest
[HTC Wildfire S] pokosik:
Yap. I noticed that too. I can't belive it but Samsung keyboard is better...
[HTC Wildfire S] mazourek:
this is not a problem of small keyboard but problem of Android settings from HTC. I think its slow becasu of vibration of keyboard. Smasung has no vibration and I found that I do not need it at all! Yes, bigger display is better but I can tuch rigth letters easy on WFS but its just slow. You have to try writte something on Samsung and you will see! And becasuse Samsung Galaxy Ace has now Android 2.3.3 and video 640x480, enaught of RAM even it is less than WFS I am gonna to sell WFS and buy Smamsung :) And I think that battery is better as well. Finaly I do not like HTC Sense as many so why I bought HTC ? Because I just do not have experience, but only read specification and compare numbers and its is not good way to select right phone. Ok next time :)
[HTC Wildfire S] mazourek:
And as I wrote its a problem of Android settings from HTC. It means that some one who is skilled can make some edit of Android and just change a respons of keyboard.

anybody knows ? ?

hey users of HTC, are you satisfied with speed of your keyboard ? If yes, just try samsung or learn to writte faster:)
[HTC Wildfire S] Ventage:

[HTC Wildfire S] androidsupporter:
Thanks. I had Swype before on my Samsung Galaxy Ace, found it useful but the keyboard's look just doesn't make the cut for me.

But for those who don't want Swype then they can download the Keyboard for Android 2.3 by Steven Lin from the Android Market, quite useful too. Not like the WS keyboard, the A and L trick should work. :p
