thanks sir.

question:

If its on NTFS you'll need a ntfs.ko built against the stock kernel source of the kernel you have. -- im assuming this requires root, right?

You could also just run a script to mount it manually (and unmount it). -- root din?

Optionally, you can also use the ntfs-3g binary and compile fuse.ko against the same kernel sources. Then run a script to mount the drive after plugging it in the OTG cable. -- root parin?

;)

thanks read ulet... haba! starting now page 52.

Hey Pongster,

Which modem are you using now for your phone? I'm on stock hyperdroid and never really bothered testing modems.
[Galaxy S II General] elms327:
Are there any new stable custom roms you guys know of? tia

@kingofthebraves

sir, can you share the link of your stock hyperdroid? thanks

[Galaxy S II General] pongster:
You need to be root to run the script. more importantly, you need to compile the ntfs.ko or fuse.ko for the stock kernel if you will stay on it. You can also flash any of the custom kernels out there and have one less thing to worry about. :)

I'm testing out LP1 right now... was on KI4 for the longest time, then tried out DXKL1 as well... haven't really decided on which is best for my location.

Custom ROM? HyperDroid of course. :) Its relatively easy to mod if you read and follow instructions.

Some prefer light ROMs (pre-themed) from the get go that are usually done by the winzip "chefs"... HyperDroid (and other stable, original ROMs) come as a base.

This means if you want stuff removed you simply run a debloater script or customizer script such as one of our Surgeons. (You are encouraged to customize it beforehand as not everything I remove may be something you'd want removed... your device, your choice)

In my experience those who put in the effort to customize a ROM for themselves end up learning and enjoying the experience of owning a powerful device such as ours.

OT: Not sure if anyone is interested but maybe we could (QC/Metro Manila based users) organize a "Meet-up" to help get the new owners up to speed with the different ways they can mod and tweak. Kernel, ROMs, Themes, Mods and anything we can discuss in 2-3 hours.

how do you change the bootloader in the first place? is it the same as recovery? different right?

and also 27th december DXKL2 released to PH. how come mine is DXKL1? it was originally DXKI1
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
It's just flashed. Check out intratech's thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
ok sir. after this thread i'll read it.... haba...

anyway another question. im on dxkl3 100% battery last night. now i checked it its 67%. how come? connection 3g/wifi off. live wallpaper using the germs (stock, comes w/ the unit)

lots of apps too. im thinking that some of the apps attempts to refresh thus consuming power.

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

another thing iwould like to add... someone experienced random reboots on page 110 on dxkl3. mine so far has been up for 5 days already (charge when low batt).

i just read the wiping the battery stats does not improve battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
How can you get 5 days on kl3 when you lost 30% overnight?

Edit

Ah you mean you've been using the rom for five days. OK.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ i charge when lowbatt so its continuous. my uptime is already 5days and counting. no restart yet.

@jermitano - what's deep sleep sir? im using stock firmware DXKL3 (build) which was upgrade via kies from DXKI. forgot the number for DXKI

kaso i had to shutdown. palit ba't to extended + inserted 8GB class4 sandisk. was told its good already so opted for this instead of class 6.

Paid for the battery.. can you show me the screen on time?
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ got the battery fro Php1,320.00. what's "screen on time"?

are you referring to the display, how much it consumed?

or the one which shows the apps usage percentage?

and can you tell me also any info or significance from the graphi i posted..
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
reading back to your posts, since you updated through kies why not try a hard reset then.

do a full factory reset but make sure to back up your files. Then observe your battery life after that

as for apps, you can always check the running apps, those that are running that you dont need you can manually close them.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
^ cant do factory reset sir. too many communication apps set (email, IMs, etc.)

as for the battery life, Diane hackborn said battery stats (wipe it or not) doesnt affect the battery life.

anyway 1st time to experience sudden reboot... will observe again and report back here
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
The display. Well, basically when the screen is on it cusumes more power than when it is off and is in deep sleep mode.. We base the effectiveness of a kernel etc by its screen on time rather than how many hours the mobile is on and is just in standy mode.. we can get days of battery juice when the mobile is in standy mode.. so the screen on time will be the base of the effectiveness of the battery.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
ah the display. ok wait give me 5mins and will upload it. by the way, im a power user so the only time my phone is not in use is when im asleep. wifi when in office runs 8-10 hours.

No heat issues for me. Very stable. More screen on time even while using 3G.
[Galaxy S II General] rey031:
Try playing a CPU-intensive game for a long time. It gets hot for me when I play Star Blitz for a while. If you have your charger connected at the same time, it gets really hot, almost unbearable to touch, and the charger may not keep up with the battery drain of CPU+display so battery keeps draining instead of being charged.

Luckily, our SGS2 CPU is so powerful that I simply underclock to 800 MHz and games are still buttery smooth and the temp doesn't go so high even with charger connected :)
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
ah. kasi it was KF1 for me when i got the phone. i wrote it down before i started flashing custom stuff

the settings are probably right, but globes service has been erratic in the past days because of the typhoon.
[Galaxy S II General] vrl29:
for me, i prefer flashing in CWM over ODIN because:

flashing via ODIN increments the "download" counter for the SGS2 and triggers the Yellow Exclamation Point (if not stock kernel)

di man sya big deal kasi may workaround naman, pero i guess personal preference na lang.

opinion ko lang po :)
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
That's a misconception. Flashing using Odin doesn't increase the download counter and doesn't trigger the yellow warning sign IF you

flash stock secure kernels

flashing anything other than secure kernels (like custom rom/kernel etc) will increase the counter.

Source: My own experiencing in flashing multiple custom roms, monitoring the counter, and using the jig to reset the counter.
[Galaxy S II General] whitherquick:
Hi guys. I got a SGS2 on stock KH2 android 2.3.3. I was wondering if upgrading to stock KI2 is wise for me. Hassle kapag nag upgrade ng firmware eh, nabubura mga data if I reformat it. Do you think the upgrade would give me substantial difference kahit naretain sha under android 2.3.3?

Yung increased battery performance ba ng 2.3.5 na-carry ng KI2 2.3.3? Tinanong ko yung samsung sa email kaso bulok mga answers nila. Wala ako makuhang matinong sagot. Parang binobobo pa ko sa sagot nila.
[Galaxy S II General] Hilari0:
I flashed the new xxki3 with 2.3.5, and for me this is the best rom so far. My phone seems faster, has more memory available after start up and overall is very stable with good signal( fast switch to H with measured speeds up to 3mbps with Globe) and better batterylife. I flashed the official leaked one with odin, so my counter is still 0 and no yellow triangle.
[Galaxy S II General] poch_1421:
ganun tlaga kapag stock hehe
[Galaxy S II General] redlinux:
Dude, no data loss that's gonna happen and, yes, KI2 is so worth the upgrade!! (",)
[Galaxy S II General] hot ice:
Flashing with an official rom won,t trigger the counter nor will it cause the yellow triangle icon to appear.

Anyone here have the link for a cwm flashable version of the DXKI2 firmware? I can only find older ones.

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i suddenly got lost in the discussions hahaha...

btw...please post in English...again a friendly reminder much less you really dont want to see the philippine thread anymore...as suggested by some mods here you can use google translate if the vault becomes shallow hehehe...

deep sleep can be achieved by custom roms/kernels that allow them (running on the minimum proc speed at the background while screen off)...i have the slight of ideas on how stocks achieve it (apparently they do) but from what i read not as efficient nor nearly as good as from custom or tweaked ones (minimum that i read was about 800mhz...which practically means its still running as if its awake)...IMO on this and i always stand corrected...

on the applications back ups if you are not rooted then the best chance you have is back up via KIES and no other means (except for files, photos, music and save apk files)...if you want the full back up then a rooted phone via CWM nandroid back up...

there is no need to wipe battery stats as the unit does not need battery calibration (from experience and what i have read over and over again here)...if want to gauge your battery use then full charge it and use it normally as you will the whole day...battery usage is different for all of us...some can extend it while other consume it so fast...having a custom rom/kernel helps as it is optimized for both performance and power...still the length on how the batt last still depend on you...

on stock rom if you activate the save battery feature (not the custom one where batt savings kick in on the set remaining percentage) expect slowdowns and lags...i dont think samsung has perfected emulating what great developers here have done on that part...its their futile attempt to placebo people into thinking that you are saving power...why use a dual core performance phone in the first place if you want to save too much power and get a laggy and slow phone...

hope my opinion and posting helps...thanks guys...and always a noob at heart...eager to learn and earn!
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
There was 2 sharp drops in your first screen shot, maybe you rebooted it? That may be the cause of you only having 2 hours of screen on time.. it could be more :) i usually get 5 hours screen on with browsing and youtube with some games.. Maybe yours can go much higher than that :)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
as what i mentioned sir, i changed battery from normal to extended (2000 mah orig samsung).

i'll update and report back how long does this battery can last for power users.

[Galaxy S II General] knuckle03:
Im on sensation rom atm. Is the setting > baterry usage faulty here? Since it doesnt have actual battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i got another random reboot. 2nd time. weird. i just added 8GB SD, extended battery, and change case :(
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
and another 2 more reboots :(

oh no...
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
If this occurred only when you started using your new battery, sd card and case, I suggest you take them all out and see if you're experiencing the reboots.

It could be the case is heating up the battery, the battery is defective, the sd is damaged.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
ow...do they have battery mods? maybe you can flash one which has the 1% increments...from what i observed my graph never goes on a dip too fast...its a steady drop may it be awake or on deep sleep discharge...i suggest you ask from their thread sir they may have the best answer for it...my 1 peso opinion

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

i experienced those things as well but not much on the dxkl3 official fw...i guess its another bug which the la2 fw from italy just fixed...if you are on custom i suggest wiping cache and dalvik as it solves a lot for me...or try removing the battery for a while then boot up again...
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
i suggested you try a hard reset but you refuse to. Its the best solution. Some peeps experience that but after a hard reset its all gone. You can just back up your data and apps and try it out.

it seems that the apps installed might be causing the problem.

i understand its a pain downloading the apps and configuring them again, but hey at least its a clean start.
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i'll try first to go back to original battery without the SD too. i doubt the case is the problem coz its cold here... barely notice heat on the unit.

im on factory dxkl3 via kies. originally it was dxki1 or 3 i think.

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:29 PM ----------

i removed the SD already. i'll observe.
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
If you've never had issues before using those accessories and your fw and apps are all the same it has to be one of those that's causing the issues,

I used to get almost 2 days on 2.3.3. Updated it to 2.3.6 today and I'm down to 26% batt in 11 hours! WTH!!?
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
You gotta let the ROM firmware (different modules and drivers settle) before everything stabilizes.

Give it 3 or 4 charge/discharge cycles. So probably about 4 days and everything should improve after that. :)
[Galaxy S II General] bluekarlo:
well, mine was faster in case of draining.

but still under observation.

77% -> 12% for 16 hours with 3g On. is this uhmm satisfactory?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
now thats weird...never got to 2 days in 2.3.3 even with minimal usage...and when i jumped to 2.3.6 all those power problems almost vanished...what sir geko said is absolutely correct (based on my experience and what i read all over) it takes time and cycles for the fw to kick in nicely (and i noticed this goes also well with custom roms)...get the betterbattstats and check wakelocks...maybe a lot are running on the background

Try to reformat and reseat your card.

It could have had a bad format or maybe was not seated properly.

Random question.

How much data (mobile/3g) do you consume monthly?
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
in terms of 3g or mobile data, not much lol. I actually registered to Globe's Powersurf99 (good for 30 days but with 50mb data cap)

I have EDGE on the whole day because i only use it for Whatsapp, Emails, Twitter

One week to go with 1000 messages sent and 1000 received using Whatsapp and i still have 20mb left.

Well EDGE is enough for those apps, no point in using 3g for them especially when out of the house.

But using wifi thats another story lol. I use wifi to browse etc.

but this is just me.
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:

[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
how do you set it EDGE only? so that i can limit the bandwidth usage :)
[Galaxy S II General] PaulitoX77:
so simple, just select 2G ONLY. Then turn data on. You get a "G" if your signal is weak and "E" is its strong. EDGE is enough for IMs (Whatsapp, YM, Viber etc), Emails and Twitter. I set it to WCDMA only when i need 3G or H+ for browsing when i need to. The rest its purely EDGE

I use stock rom so i had to download 3G watchdog from the market. You can set your limit there so it can alert you when you have exceeded
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
thank you so much! i didnt know that setting it at 2G only will still allow grps and edge. i thought both protocols will be out and purely voice.

wait, i dont have 2G/3G option are you referring to GSM/WCDMA part?

thanks again! stock too, 2.3.6 :) DXKL3
