Once this replacement battery & cover is available it should add a nice boost to the battery life on our SGS2's. From the pics it looks like Samsung did it right and made a quality upgrade without taking away from the elegant design of the phone (unlike the hideous aftermarket high capacity batteries currently available).

[Galaxy S II General] bimmerboii:
Yes i am happy and no regrets. Those 3 things are what i really miss though.. Other than that the SGS2 is better in every aspect. If u can still return your Atrix then do it. You probably wont miss it since you only had it for a short time.

Edit: I forgot to mention the thing i miss the most.. The notification led!
[Galaxy S II General] ChongoDroid:
I sold mine to my friend (his first Android) for $400 and paid the difference. All I can say is, totally worth it. Only downside is occasional wakes in the pocket compared to the Atrix but honestly everything is better.
[Galaxy S II General] acaseyb:
Thanks again to anyone who posted (I reached my daily limit of 'thanks,' so I can't dole any more of those out). Assuming the price is reasonable when it gets announced tonight, I'll be returning my atrix pretty soon.

[Galaxy S II General] rawfa:
I've sold my Atrix and bought a GS2 and I couldn't be happier. The screen is absolutely mind blowing (I watch a lot of videos when I travel), the processor feels REALLY faster than the Atrixs' and the camera quality is among the best I've seen in sell phones. Amazing phone that I won't be getting rid of so soon. You cannot go wrong with this change.

Hi Guys,

Just getting a grip on this Xperia Play, fantastic handset.

I am on the new stock firmware v4 (xloud) and I have flashed doomlords V02-FIX kernel.. overclock etc seems to be working fine.

Could someone tell me if its ok to flash the CM7 FXP025 and if no good/don't like can I safely get back to the stock rom by recovering using CWM recovery backup?

Sorry if it sounds a bit noobish I am not the brightest bulb in the box :)

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roshi69:
CM7 will only work with the provided kernel within the CM7 posts. It will not work with doomlords kernel (i've tried) lol
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HearthC0re:
I wonder why that is btw :o
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It's because doomkernel is made from the Sony Ericcson kernel source code. This is totaly incompatible with the source used for the CM kernels. You have to understand that CM7 is an aosp build. Built from the ground up, they are unable and unwilling to use any proprietary code. Thats why bug hunting usually takes longer than stock roms :)

You have to tell a little more to get the right help.

Bootloader locker or unlocked?

What firmware did you use when rooting the device?

What did you use to root, Gingerbreak?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grat_master:
i'm sorry

bootloader locked, never touched that

i never touched anything. I'm on 2.3.3, so I was trying to get back to rootable version.

its when i was trying to flash it to previous version that flashtool aborted. saying : power on go to settings and turn on ressources and debugging.

but i can't do anything with. It doesn't even start up.

thx

wow i just tried sony ericsson update service, and now the phone seems to start up.

the mistake i did i think is that i forgot to reinstall the sd card before starting to flash it.

as i'm writing this the phone is correctly working. so now was the sd card remove the mistake ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yusuo:
1st option

I would say unlock the bootloader and reflash with the newest firmware, or you could just try this

2nd option

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1126358

I had the same problem (but my boot loader was unlocked) and it sorted it out, I thought it was just flashtool but it isnt theres special files in the firmware folder that unbrick the arc, let us know how you get on. try the 2nd option first

If its working now then it was a semi brick, option 2 fixes them no problem, try reflashing if you get the same problem just use the 2nd option afterwards and it will work fine
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nirak:

dunno bout the sd card, but glad SEUS did the trick for you.

can you unlock your bootloader when the device won't even start?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Parsian86:
Hi there,

Its been couple of months that my phone froze during web browsing. And when I pull the battery out and reinserted, the phone would go through the booting and either freezes right after 123456 go go go or it would freeze during the Android Logo loading. It would take me many battery pull outs and re inserts to get it back on. During this time, I ran Hyperdroid 2.3.4 on NAND with Mgldr 1.13.

yesterday I tried to reinstall the OS, i task29, reflash the radio to 2.15... and reinstalled mgldr1.13. I have chosen Typhoon's 2.3.5 NAND CWM. After the installation, the same problem of not being able to go past 1234 go go go persists. I tried to pull out the battery again and after few try i managed to log in to Android.

It seems, the longer the battery is out, the more effective it is in booting the OS. I am seriously concerned about HW issue. Please help me identify the problem.

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t00tall:
Did you try installing the stock Winmob ... then doing a clean android installation (complete with re-installing the HSPL)?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Parsian86:
I am going to do that next. It seems, all freezing during normal operation happens when I am browsing on Edge (my phone is incompatible with 3G on the network i am).

Secondary note, when I remove battery and reinsert, not only I cant make it back to Android boot but also, when I load up Mgldr Recovery, the AD Recovery function also does not load beyond 12345...

I am going to load a WinMo 6.5 ROM probably NRG's and reinstall HSPL.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] t00tall:
as I said before... use the stock windows, not the cooked ones (you can get it off the HTCs website)...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] montecarlo5:
maybe,,, make sure you have the right partion size for your rom. check your roms page, it should say what size you need. if you have the wrong size, your phone can do all kinds of stupid things. speaking from my own screw up thinking i had the right size,,,
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Parsian86:
Sorry for the late response. I am now flashing it with STOCK ROM. I couldnt first find on HTC thats why I went and download the NRG's ROM. Today I just found that HTC pulled the ROM and now they are only available on T-mobile website so eventually I got it and now installing it. I will update about the progress :)

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Parsian86:
So I downloaded the ROM and put my phone into HSPL screen by pressing volume. I open the .exe file (ROM) and set it to install. However, during the installation, the process gets stock around 18% and I waited it out couple of times for more than 10 minutes and does not go pass that.

I tried to Task29 it and re-flash it but the problem maintains.

UPDATE: I re run HSPL and restore to SPL 2.8... and then run the Stock Rom installation. This time, it finished the installation however, when it booted up, it got stock on the pink logo "stick together"... I tried to hard reset by holding the Up and Down Volume and when i did it, and when through the manufacturing reset process, the problem maintains. I cannot get into Stock WinMo.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] pr621:
I can't flash anything because when I go to my recovery menu I'm getting rainbows. I'm thinking this is due to the kernel that is flashed with infused v2.0.0. I just downloaded root tools and was going to use the pulldown editor, but when it said not to use on anything other than a Verizon phone, I accidentally hit the ignore button I guess? So I rebooted my phone and nothing was happening, so I pulled the battery and booted into red CWM and reflashed the serendipity rom. I rebooted out of red CWM and phone did not boot, so I went back to red CWM and flashed another rom I had, infused v2.0.0. My phone still did not boot, so I flashed the backup, update.zip and when it finished, I had green CWM, not red anymore. So just to try and get my phone working again, I flashed infused again, and this time it booted, along with the rainbows, as noted in the changelog with infused v2.0.0. So since I knew I could boot now, I rebooted into recovery to flash serendipity again, but the menu is just a rainbow, like on boot. I can navigate the CWM but I can't see anything, and the only reason I know is because I hit the power button, and I rebooted, and the first option in recovery is reboot. I wanna know if there is anyway to replace the kernel so I can see my CWM? or a way to flash serendipity with odin, because the kernel included with that contains no rainbows. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
holy textwall, I can barely read what you typed...

Looks like you flashed an ancient version of Infused (2.0.0 beta - 2.0.0 final fixed the rainbows).

Odin or Heimdall can flash a fixed kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1240136 covers how for Heimdall, I'm less familiar with Odin. Watch out, I've heard that Heimdall and Odin can interfere with each other if installed at the same time on Windows.

[Acer Iconia A500] cfrock:
Why are you looking to freeze?

If it's because you want to be able to update via stock method I understand (but don't know if it will work after freezing apps). If you are looking to streamline a bit, you can

delete

quite a bit.

In the past I've deleted these with no ill affects: Acer registration, Acer Sync, Acer Sync Helper, Tegrazone, Hero Of Sparta, Zinio (I know there's more but can't recall).

Obviously you have to be rooted to do so.

[Desire General] ZigmaDK:
How much "Screen on" time do you people get?

I can easily get 3 days if I don't use my phone at all, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a smartphone.

The max display on time I can get is between 4-5 hours.

But that is if I use it for reading a pdf-book in night mode (black background with grey text)

If I browse the interwebs I get max 2½ hours because of the mostly white background.

Playing games (Angry Birds) is 1½-2 hours.

What do all of you get?
[Desire General] darwin567:
For me Oxygen is the best ROM for battery performance.
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Screen on time nearly five hours (checking facebook and twitter, email, some chat and xda forum app; brightness: 20 - 25 %) with some phone calls drains my battery from 100% to 10% with ~ 1d 11h on it. At the moment I do not play any games.

CPU-Setting: Min 245, Max 768 ONDEMAND governor. I do not use setcpu or juice defender or anything like this. Just the cpu controller included in oxygen. Could not notice any difference so far. Thalamus' kernels seems to be very well programmed.
[Desire General] MobilNerd:
Oxygen or Solstice :)
[Desire General] 325i.:
Cheers guys, oxygen Rom it is then.

With the oxygen Rom, which is the most battery efficient kernel?
[Desire General] magier6:
has anyone experience with a sense rom?
[Desire General] erklat:
Stick with _thalamus, if you use 3rd party kernel you'll probably just end with messing your camera app. Though I don't know any other than manU kernel. Coutts99 no longer in development, vorkkernel the same, and the kernel from GV, but I don't know who's behind it.

I was reluctant to admit that indeed aosp now seems more battery efficient. Probably part due to voltage scaling not working on GB roms. Froyo Sense with havs kernel is a whole different ball game... I use the sense and aosp roms the same as I use LPP either way so I know my results are valid. I have no more apps syncing in the background with Sense than I have with aosp.

It works as you need VISIONary+ to obtain TempROOT. So after that by running WPX script the WP is disabled for emmc. So you can push eng_hboot and turn S=OFF to gain PermROOT.
