[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
I'm on KF3 which is latest stock in UK, and battery life is appalling. Over night while I was sleeping my batt went from 45% to dead in the morning (7 hours sleep), I have noticed in the battery stats that the whole time I was asleep the signal bar (yellow) was a dimmer yellow than the rest of it.

I got home yesterday from work and put my phone down in the bedroom on 65% approx and came back an hour later to find it on 43%.

I have a suspicion that it's the poor signal in my bedroom but it's driving me crazy. I'v uninstalled almost everything extra, removed all my widgets etc, I can't be dealing with such poor battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake-CT:
You need to change from KF to at least the KG builds. Sucks if samsung still haven't put one of these out over kies but could be due to networks wanting to add their crapware too. Do yourself a favor and get rid of kies and use odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alias_neo:
Yeh, I don't use Kies, but I didn't see any official versions for UK yet past KF3.

I don't mind using Odin now to upgrade to something reasonably stock that's 2.3.4.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgxplyr:
I can confirm that using Watchdog instead of a killer, combined with JuiceDefender improved my battery life significantly. After blacklisting all the background apps and services i didn't really need running at 1% threshold, such as Gallery, FM radio, and social networks, I went to bed with 10% battery and woke up with...10% battery! Albeit juice defender was set to only allow connectivity every 30 mins for 1 min. In the screens below, you can see what my standby usage looked like before (before the big dip) and you can see when i went to bed. It almost looks like the phone gained some battery haha. Anywho, great suggestion by OP

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
If you blacklist an app and set it`s max cpu usage to 1% as soon as it re-starts it is automatically killed.

blacklist is not an option for a lot/all system processes, maybe root is required?

I have a odd battery problem, whenever I turn the screen on the batter drains extremely fast 20-30% per hour, while on standby it can last the whole night without losing a bar... display is a 48% which sounds normal.. perhaps I have a bad battery? but I just dont see why it only affects it when the screen is on....:confused:

ive found that "auto memory manager helps a bit"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
I don't get these threads . . . what the hell are you people doing to drain your battery so fast ?

I leave my phone on charge over night, and i run a Rooted device with Cognition ROM v1.42 (2.3.4) with a black theme ( Tho a light wallpaper on my home screen and lock screen )

My phone hardly looses any charge in a day of Checking facebook about once an hour and possibly uploading a few photos for work via gmail e.c.t and the odd music video via youtube & calling for weather info for Materialistic text widget.

From 8am when my handset comes of charge and getting home at around 6PM i'll be lucky if i have lost 25% battery.

No task Managers / Back light set to Auto / Sync Enabled / Back light time out 30s / Always connected to 3G networks / Launcher Pro.

Hell even if i play 30mins of Turbofly 3D ill only do 30% of drainage in a single day.

Try some black themes / Turn down your screen brightness / stop running un-needed weather apps / use some darker wallpapers.

I can easily get 2 & 1/2 days from a single charge
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidll:
my background is almost pure black, I have data off when not in use and minimum brightness..... maybe I should leave data on? and raise the brightness?

I really dont understand why the battery drops so fast when the screen is on, and I only got the memory manager because of my poor battery.

im still leaning toward a dud battery, I think im going to get a new one... maybe one of those 2000mah....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hutzdani:
Have you tried a full discharge then check thats its dead with a multi meter, with the phone off give it a full charge again then discharge do this for say 2 days and see if your battery improves.

If then its still terrible its possibly a dud battery, but 99% of the time its all in your head your just worrying about it needlessly.

I give my battery a full discharge cycle every friday night and i have never had any battery problems with my Nexus S or SGS2II and they all run on the smae settings and themes and apps.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ergosteur:
I have a bit of a particular situation, but I think others may find the answer useful too.

Here it is. I have an A2DP bluetooth receiver that I'm using with my HTC Desire Z. I want to be able to send voice call audio output to the receiver (while using the phone's built-in mic).

This would effectively be the same behaviour as plugging in a regular stereo audio cable/earphones to the 3.5mm jack. Music and call audio are routed out over the headphones, but in order to talk you have to use the phone mic.

I know there's an app that does the reverse (forces stereo media audio over the Headset profile). https://market.android.com/details?id=com.steven.supermonofroyofree

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaladino:
I want to send my MMS ALWAYS with the HIGHEST priority to shorten the delays between Actual sending and Actual reception

for some reasons, my recipients receive my MMS with a variable delay, sometimes hours !!! This can't be acceptable !! :mad:

With other phones, I had the setting to chose among 3 priorities, and when I choosed "

highest

", the MMS delivery was fast as expected

with the SG2, no settings of this kind appear to be available....SG2 seems to ignore it...

Network providers system do consider this parameter, so there should be a setting somewhere in the SG2 .... can't seem to find it, can't find any info about anyone caring about this VERY interesting priority option....

Anyone help ?

I believe for sure is must be part of MMS.APK....

Is there a MOD available, standalone or in a custom ROM ? or An App that can offer a way to set this priority before sending ?

Help much appreciated !!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaladino:
NO !!!

Can it be that I am the only one in the world who cares about speed delivery of my MMS SMS or Emails ?

Or is it that 2012 has already begun and there's nobody to listen ....:)

even if you dont have answers to my question, feel free to express that you feel the same, I'll feel less alone ....

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunteres:
try to check your APN setting for mms. that may be the problem. i have no such a issue at all. check your network stats and recheck your APN if its correct.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaladino:
Well, Thank you for your answer,

But I dont find any setting under APN setting menu for MMS, none with any setting regarding MMS priority.... Maybe though it's not an issue,

maybe the SG2 is already sending MMS with highest priority ....???

But as I've seen the setting in my previous nokia phones, I believe it's possible to choose...

If the setting exists as a basic GSM function, then why the I9100 doesn't offer the possibility to tweak it....hummm ???

I believe the setting is hidden from the UI on the current roms... Hope that someone on the dev side will soon find a solution....

This is my 2 cents request.... LOL

I found an app or 2 on the market that seem to implement this feature, but cant remember the names by now, didnt test them....

But I'm looking for what we deserve : a solution embedded natively in the UI

Hello everyone!

I tried to figure out if you cover this issue at another thread, but got lost in the way, so, my apologies in advance if this question has been covered.

So, does anybody know whether the accessories for 10.1 work as well with the 10.1v? Does both tabs have the same input port for charging and docking station etc?

I was thinking for example this accessories:

Any idea if they can work on my device? Any known connectivity / size issues?

Many thanks for your help, kind of disappointed with the selection of accessories for 10.1v :(

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Yanluk:
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. But:

1. HDMI adapter requires Honeycomb 3.1, so you would need to run custom rom.

2. Not sure if adapter will fit in as tablet it's few millimetres thicker.

3. As per point 1. Requires 3.1 Honeycomb, so again need custom ROM (something to do with HID devices over bluetooth, if you google it you should be able to find some more info.

Cheers
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] gs980:
Thanks a lot!

If these are true, there's no hope...I don't want to flash my ROM, I don't know how to actually.

Do you happen to know whether samsung will have an update of the software to 3.1 for 10.1v?

Thanks again,

[Epic 4G General] Bierce22:
The 01120 is sprints corporate prl they sent that out for people who travel a lot so you'll probably have better coverage on that one. The 11115 prl was regional that not that many people got. Please just read the second thread in my sig it'll explain everything.

I just started losing data while roaming at my job on 01120. How can I backup 01120 so I can try 11115 and switch back if I don't like it?

Edit: I found a copy of 01120.
[Epic 4G General] younggangsta_s:
Is there a more update thread with all the PRLs?
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Actually that is incorrect. 01120 was Sprint's 3G roaming "test". It only had 3G roaming in a few states. It was replaced with 11114 and then 11115 which added 3G roaming to just about anywhere in the US.

11115 will have the "better" coverage. It's also not a Preferred network only PRL, meaning if the SID that your phone finds is not even in the PRL it will connect to it with 1X Data/Voice. It won't connect with 3G of course since your phone will not know the subnet to use for EVDO.

11115 is the newest. I posted a link above.

[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
If you already have data working on your phone....then nothing gets upated.
[Epic 4G General] skandranon314:
PRL = Preferred Roaming List

It tells the phone what carriers' towers to connect to, and in what order, if/when it is necessary to not use sprint's network.

The 1xxxxxx series is for "corporate" accounts (and/or discounts? not 100%) and allows 3g data roaming while others do not.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Ok, thanks for the responses. One last question..updating Profile and PRL hve no effect on 4G and what towers you use right? TIA..oh, clicked a couple of "thanks" for the responses. Its always good to learn something new.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
The PRL contains a list of cellular systems that your phone can talk to, not which towers it talks to. And yes, the PRL is only for 1X and EVDO.
[HTC Sensation] TheSh4wn:
Hi guys,

I somehow thought that calibration of my battery should be at a very low battery level (3 percent), and after that I've got some problems with my battery.

My phone now randomly turns off, even when the battery isn't empty. Often it's possible to just turn it on again with the power button, and when it's booted, it's all normal again. But sometimes it thinks the battery is at 3% (or some other low value) while before it turned off it was on (for example) 50%. When I reboot then (by myself), my battery widget shows it's at 50% again.

I recalibrated my battery afterwards a couple of times (this time at 100% battery), but it still turns off randomly, so one good recalibration (including the full discharge) isn't really possible, because my phone turns off.

Is my battery completely dead and should I order a new one? Or maybe it's possible to use somebody's batterystats.bin file? Or is there any other fix?

Thanks in advance

This means that the battery can't supply enough power to use the flash and keep your device running at the same time. I'd suggest getting another battery.

You can use ADB to push a launcher to /system/app/ then change permissions to 0644 or rw-r--r-- the stock launcher is named Launcher2 but you can push any launcher to the system as long as the name is the same then reboot and all should be fine.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbadgers89:
Hello everyone. I am new to the world of android, but I'm a quick enough learner. Here is my specific problem:

I have an AT&T Atrix 4g. It is currently superuser rooted. It is currently running Android ROM 2.3.4.

Shortly after rooting the device, I downloaded ROM Manager and successfully installed through the application Clockwork Recovery. I tried to select the option to back up the current ROM (the stock android) on my SD card.. however, during the load screen, I got an error message stating

"Failed to boot 2

Starting RSD protocol support"

So doing some research, I came upon the conclusion that the reason I can't backup or really do anything with ROMs is that I needed an unlocked bootloader.

I went to Atrix4ghacks and followed the instructions on how to unlock bootloader and install permanent recovery.

This is the critical part: When I entered into the command prompt "fastboot oem unlock", instead of proceeding normally I got the return message:

"OEM unlock is not implemented"

Again, did a google search and read that Android 2.3.4 on Atrix 4g does NOT allow unlocked bootloaders.

So, the questions that I have that result from this are:

1.) Can someone here confirm that, in fact, I am unable to unlock the bootloader on my phone?

2.) If so, is there a viable workaround that is both reasonably safe and not overly complicated? Please note that I have no backup in case something goes wrong, leading me to

3.) Is there a way to backup my stock 2.3.4 ROM without an unlocked bootloader?

4.) Can I revert safely to an older android version that supports unlocked bootloaders?

5.) Can you actually install new ROMs without an unlocked bootloader?

6.) Am I totally screwed?

HUGE THANKS to anyone who actually bothered reading this, and even more thanks to anyone who can answer/point me in the right direction. Much appreciated!!!
