What are the apps you used to

* take the screenshot &

* the battery usage/ report?

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
Clean rom has native screen shot built in. And the battery report is under settings>about phone> battery usage
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
- Press Power + Menu to take screen shot

- Menu > settings > about phone > battery > battery use
[HTC EVO 3D] mozman:
Make sure your battery is truly 2000mah. Look in the accessories forum and there's a couple of threads on 3rd party batteries. I think yours is a lot less than 2000mah.

The ones that people have checked out are by seidio, Anker, and chichitec.

as always with battery life the main thing is going to be service. at home if i leave my phone sitting near a window it can sit in standby with data turned on for 4 hours and drop max 3 percent. at work i can lost 10 percent in 30 minutes if i check it once. the building ruins my service even though it shows high bars. damn cdma. on tmobile i had green for service while now i hit the brownish yellow thats below yellow

but im also on cleanrom and the battery is great in normal out of work use
[HTC EVO 3D] Xpertss:
One thing I notice is the screen usage on your phone, look like very minimal use and in my phone the battery killer is the screen. I mean this in a nice way when I ask; Are you trying to see how you can "make" the battery last or are you trying to see how long the battery will last?

Thanks everyone for the input and feedback!
[HTC EVO 3D] Mrdiaz09:
I understand what you mean. No I wasn't trying to see how long I could make it last, it was just a busy day at work and I didn't have a ton of time to play with it. I was just trying to give you an idea of my battery usage all will vary on the user of course. However while the screen may not have been in use much I have horrible reception at work and clean ROM has personally given me the best battery life so far.

Edit: sorry I just read back over that and please don't take the way I said things as a flame or rude, I didn't mean it that way.

I guess what's i'm really looking for is : what rom and kernel combo are you using and what kind of battery life do you get out of it???

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarekPW:
My cousin asked me to buy him a Transformer here in Canada and take it with me to europe when I go there as it's much cheaper here. My question is, if I buy a TF in Canada and take it to Europe, will it update there ok? Is there somethink to consider? I know that it will come with a North American version of the ROM. Will OTA updates work or will the region somehow be detected?

Sorry for the noob question, but really need help with this.

Thanks in advance!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
Should do, if not you can always do it manually through the asus website. I know Canada has the ww model and im pretty sure it is the same model in the uk but not positive if anyone from the uk can verify this. Only thing to consider is different wifi channels as well the power plug. but im sure you can get a converter for that

I got my Transformer in Canada recently to bring back to the UK. It has updated fine to 3.2. I got a cheap US to UK adapter off Amazon which allows me to charge it easily.

I got mine in Quebec so the dock keyboard has the French layout (" and @ swapped over), but setting the locale to the UK has swapped them back - although the label on the physical buttons don't tally up with the characters the buttons represent but that is a minor issue and one I got used to very quickly.
[HTC Desire S] yerfdes:
Heybguys anyone of you experience when the phone was recently waked up have you noticed that the network signal was 0 bars? I experienced it on VU and CM7 roms
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
Yeah...I think that's issue with latest leaked radio..if u use that one...

* Desire S BRE! *
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I don't completely agree as I'm on the latest leaked radio (see my signature for details) and I find the signal strength and the phones ability to hang onto a signal in low signal areas has improved

There was a reported problem a while back that I didn't experience initially but did after a while, see this link
[HTC Desire S] old.splatterhand:
I don't think it's radio fault.

I had such problem only at work and then i installed new radio leak but it didn't help.

Tried various roms but no success.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slayer__4:
Quick question about Galaxy S2 rooting.

I'm planning on using GT-I9100M_MKG2_insecure kernel from here to root my phone and then I would like to flash back to stock kernel so I don't have the yellow warning triangle.

My question is, is there a way to keep this original kernel I have (because the closest I can find is GT-I9100M_MKG2_original)?

OR is there any really awesome kernels that I should just replace my stock with?

Any other general advice is also appreciated.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
There are many kernels in the development section, only you can say if kernel is awesome as only you would use your phone.

Withing each kernel thread you would see users reporting whether a kernel was good for them or not, but only when you flash, then you would know...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
Initially, I was very surprised and pleased by the battery life of this phone. I charged it on Saturday, and my usage since then took it down to about 73% this morning. 32 hours of use and 27% battery drain? I'll take that!

But something weird happened today. About midway through the day, the battery just started to crater. Worse yet, charging didn't do anything! The charging indicator animated, but battery life was still falling precipitously. I used it constantly on the train this morning, so I get why it was at 58% by the time I got to work, but then from 8am to about 2pm, it went down to 30%. Then from 2pm to 3pm while it was "charging", it went down to 18%.

Of course I googled the hell out of this, and came across this thread

And rebooting the phone magically stopped the battery drain, and allowed it to start charging again. So I guess our SGSII's are just like the international ones in that regard. Apparently some ROMs have fixed this, but we're still a little new to benefit from that approach. So, just a heads up: if your battery chart just starts falling into the floor, reboot and all will be well.

Note: this also explains the "Android OS" entry showing up at the top of your battery charts. I was shocked when 2 hours of display only accounted for 22% of my battery usage, while Android OS was 68%. Apparently the suspend mode goes insane sometimes and the process of attempting and failing to sleep the phone sucks the battery dry. I'd say that's pretty ironic, myself.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] princessakiki:
This happened to me also. I was not even touching my phone while working today and it beeped saying 50% I'm like wtf? So I let it sit still working and it beeped saying it needs to be charged. Crazy but I sure do hope this helps and is fixed soon.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] vikramjatt11:
happened 2 me couple times, i thought some app was keeping my phone from going to sleep. so i tried spare parts, spare parts doesnt work on stock gingerbread roms on samsung... so i cudnt figure out wat was going wrong... because lets say my battery was at 80%, after i reboot, it would be at 55%, just with a reboot...

i figured something was going wrong in the background, and the battery stats are not reported correctly, your REAL battery percentage shows right when you reboot...

-------------------

after i rooted the phone, THIS FREAKING EXACT PROBLEM made me do a factory reset on my phone, which put my phone in a boot loop... after waiting 16+ hours for a stock kernal to come out, i had to brick my device on purpose (so sprint could not even turn it on), and dey gave me a new SGSII... if i didn't brick it, they would have known it was rooted, due to the international splash screen...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Had you installed anything that could have caused this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fatboypup:
Mine was plugged in all night and said 100% then froze this am and dropped to 10% after reboot
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] drksilenc:
i was having the same issue at work eariler today
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
No. I haven't installed anything since yesterday, when it was (supposedly) sipping the battery. It just started going nuts this afternoon. That's why I started looking and found that bug thread for the international SGSII. Apparently there was also a bug in 2.3.3 that would cause some widgets to suck the battery dry within hours, while idle and even in airplane mode. So I guess they're moving in the right direction.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tinybfk:
I had a weird issue just now. Battery was at 26 percent. Did a reboot by holding the power button down for 8 seconds or whatever it is. When it booted back up about 30 seconds later i had 10 percent battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] inkdrink:
Today is my first day giving this phone a while, and I've been awestruck by the battery life.

Screen on for a large chunk of the past 12 hours that I've owned it, and I'm still showing about 50 percent. I imagine a battery anticipating 4G usage but me having it turned off all the time gives the phone a real edge, lifewise.

Not looking forward to it cratering like you guys have seen. :(

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
so this is 4 out of 4 samsung devices that do this. both galaxy tablets - 7 and 10.1, droid charge and now this. none of my other android tablets or phones do this. the battery just drops with nothing being used. at -2ma usage it goes from 60% to 20% in seconds or from a reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
That may be the case, but I know from my Droid Eris, that bugs just happen. It had the infamous "Time without a signal" bug that used like half the battery life per charge. It basically had to be ROMed to work right. And that bug was there for over a year.

It's just sad the phone makers are being so sloppy. It makes Android seem like a POS, when it's really their fault.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] greengoldmello:
Is it normal to lose 27% charge with jjust 40 minutes of screen on time? Phone has been off the charger for maybe 2 hours. Im not getting anywhere near the claims of some people...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tucci999:
Thanks guys for this thread, My first day I went out and had the phone and installed everything and got root and did titanium backup from my EVO 3D, and played some third blade, and got great battery life, but then yesturday went to work and it just tanked 5 hours and down 50% i was shocked, going to pull the battery if that happens to correct that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
This really disappoints me to see the 'Android OS' bug hasn't been fixed by Samsung despite the issue being reported this Spring when the international SGS2 launched. If I remember correctly it's due to the phone not going into 'deep sleep' after it's been unplugged from the charger. Android OS will be listed in the battery stats as the top consumer of battery.. the workaround is to reboot the phone after pulling it off of the charger in the morning.

I hope Samsung stays true to its word and provides steady firmware updates for their recent devices.. NOT to introduce new features but to fix some of these glaring issues (this one first and foremost)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trifthen:
I'll have to try that. I know rebooting after the system goes nuts stops the drain, but I didn't realize it wasn't sleeping after being charged. I'll report back. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Advancedx2:
I experience weird battery draining periods throughout the day as well. I think I'll just try to clear my battery stats later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] madsquabbles:
well, right now i'm at 1 day 19 hours and 28 min off battery and at 44%. this is with light use (1 10min call, checking email 1/hr, 4 texts, 15 min of surfing on wifi) and only off wifi for 3 hours. so other than the battery calibration issue this thing sure as heck has good battery life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rs2606:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eyecon82:
This happen to me as well. It jumped from 60 percent to 30 percent and I was shocked
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
This is very weird that some people are reporting great battery life, and others terrible battery life. There must be a common denominator. As for the thread linked with the lengthy research, supposedly that issue was fixed on 2.3.4, which is what the E4GT ships with. :confused:

Screenshots show my device at 38% after 6.5 hours off the charger. :mad:

I got 7hrs of streaming radio (Your muze fm radio) over 3g until i got to 15% bat, my evo never got more than 3.5hrs even after rom, radio and kernel changes until the same 15% before i would plug in. That is my test on a daily basis. And yes i am rooted!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] xak944:
I presume then that cell standby (3G) and the streaming app should be the top battery consumers reported by the battery usage screen? What is your "Android OS" usage? A screenshot would be awesome...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Will certainly have it for tomorrow just becuse i have since plugged in. I also counted my phone calls in and out about 2-3 min each @ 7 calls included in the 7 hrs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JoeBruin32:
What is your active screen time with those stats? Do you have any apps that auto sync? Do you use widgetlocker or anything like that?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
First Andriod OS should not be that high, might have to give your phone a simple restart 2nd turn off your wifi and gps if not in use 3rd you must be in an area with constant good service to keep your radios from burning thru your battery. At least this is what I've read from your pictures. Hope this helps, good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Only got 6hrs and 15 min today before i hit 15% with streaming ongoing. The issue for not reaching the 7hr goal today was phone signal was extremely poor at today's job site as you'll see in the picture, very little yellow forget the green. Tomorrow will be at a well known area for good signal, will try again and repost results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nlraley:
My wife is having the same issues. She charges it over night and then goes to work. Her phone is sitting in her locker not doing anything and when she gets off work she is at a 10-30% battery remaining.

Her OS usage is as high as your or higher.

She gets home and recharges it and almost has another fully depleted battery before going to bed, again with little to no use on the phone.

Mine however has no issues whatsoever.

Going to take it into the Sprint shop tomorrow if I can't figure out what is causing her issues. Unfortunately that is nearly a 2 hour drive for us...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] acrown:
Get powermax from the market that will turn all radios off except for phone calls, if she keeps in locker. She will probably be left 80% to 90% bat @ the end of day if not more.

My battery lvl jumped wheb my phone froze
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] scottjw89:
I am having battery life issues as well.. I came home at 9:45pm (EST) it is now midnight and my battery is at 80%, but I haven't really used it at all. Everytime I pick it up and just click the power button, it is as if another percentage point is going to go down again.

What's odd is that it is not android os, but display that is hogging the battery, with a whopping 19 minutes of usage (at 10% brightness) out of 2 hours and 15 minutes of it being off the charger...

Any ideas? Been working with android for a while, but new to forums.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kly1222:
I'm having the same problem. Display using up 40-50% of battery, with only a screen-on time of < 10%. Been using v3 since last Friday, but only starting getting battery issues starting Sunday night. Usually a reboot will fix it. Maybe an app/widget bug keeping the display from going into sleep mode?

Stuff I installed on Sunday:

WidgetLocker

Missed It!

SiMiClock

Phantom Music Control

iSyncr + Wifi

ShutUpCamera

Gauge Battery Widget

Weather Forecast Widgets

Also did the Sideways Battery + CRT mod from the apps/themes section

I'm having the charge bug also. Battery drains fast after removing from charger. Again, reboot fixes it. But for me, its always Display showing up as #1 in battery usage even when the screen isn't on much. After a reboot, battery drain would return to normal and Android OS will slowly catch up to Display and overtake it as #1.

Add me to the display being a battery hog list. I am unrooted (so far) and have screen set to auto brightness.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kcyen18:
although my AOS is high, this screen shot was taken with battery life @ 81%

I think it's decent?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ker0zene:
Add me to the list with the Android OS bug.. I thought it might be because of a specific app that I downloaded, but then my coworker came into work yesterday with his ET4G he just bought the night before.. I checked and his Android OS was 40%.. seems like its a problem right out of the box.. Can't wait to see what battery life is like after this is fixed!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clownboat:
Thanks much - I followed the threads from your link. What I don't get is why the problem seems to be sporadic if it's a design/implementation issue. I'd think every Epic 4G Touch would have the problem, but it seems somewhat isolated. I wish I knew just how isolated, because my contract came up today and I want one - just not one with the battery issue.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Robbzilla:
Man, I so wanna squish your bug!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikem709:
Problem that I've noticed with the SGS2 battery.

I think the root of the culprit is a bug that when the phone is turned on, the battery meter determines percent based on if they phone would actually go in to deep sleep when the screen is off. However, Ive heard that the deep sleep doesn't actually take place. Thereby drawing more current from the battery than what the meter thinks is happening. This is why when you restart the device, the battery appears to drop like a rock. This is the battery meter actually syncing up to what the battery is then currently at. Take a look at my screen shots of my battery problem.

I doubt this is a one off issue. I'm willing to bet if those people who are reporting like 12+ hour battery life would restart their phones, they would probably see this problem too.

Also, after the picture on the right was taken, my battery "charged" from 8% to 15% while not being plugged in. Just sitting on my desk.

The battery drain issue due to AOS is pretty much confirmed as affecting us as stated here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18140918#post18140918

Basically as some have said, it's the same as the International SGSII.

I had the issue as well, it seemed some applications exacerbated the problem. I used to have task panel and advanced task killer installed, but have since removed it. Currently at 9 hours on battery, with hardly any usage and still at 94%. =)

Rooted Kernel

Starburst 1.4

Only using the Be Weather Widget. Had sync off, but just turned it on, so we'll see how it affects my battery now. SetCPU is set to conservative for scaling. No 4G and no Wifi. Brightness at 10%. Yes, I've rebooted my phone a bunch of times, so it appears to be ok for now. Haven't experienced a LoS in a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
That's interesting, the suggestion that a reboot might fix this.

...well, by "fix" we mean "workaround".

I've noticed this problem HAS seemed intermittent, and while I haven't rebooted frequently, it's possible that the issue has either appeared or disappeared in correspondence to rebooting my phone.

Most recently, the issue seemed to have gone away this weekend - after 13 hours of fairly light use, I still had 80% charge. That's what I got when I first got the phone.

I've just rebooted my phone again... we'll see if this causes any change for the worse (or stays good).

I actually had wondered if Samsung had OTA-patched this bug, the change was so dramatic. Granted, I've got my wifi set to sleep with my screen off - but I didn't see any dives to the negative on the battery chart when I powered the phone on and started using it. Interesting.

Do we think Samsung WILL patch this?

Do we think Samsung even has awareness of this issue?

Has anyone actually shown that this is an issue - captured it?
