try to wipe first. maybe theres an application that is running thats why you loose 1% per hour
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
My initial adjustment was close to the ones posted in the thread i just had to up some frequencies my phone freezes at times. Im still observing. Im targeting your screenshot if its possible with mine or a little close cause i haven't underclocked mine. :)

If this goes well ill do it with my father's. He is complaining his n97 lasts longer compare to his sgs2 where in his sgs2 is seldom used.0_o
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
you have to test each frequency...as in one by one...if you are experiencing lags or freezes try to up your voltage by 25...btw for redpill i suggest you do deadline-sleepy or noop conservative...i get freezes on sio-hyper even if i dont touch the voltage sets

cf root ki4...check your wakelocks and running processes...anyways with the newer siyah kernels it has become natural for this drain and i think gokhan is still looking for a fix...you can roll back to 2.6.9 or earlier...or try other kernels (i find speedmod great with checkrom)

I am using Sygic Navigator here in Abu Dhabi. Proven. Thumbs up kasi hindi kami naliligaw. Voice activated at ituturo nya kung saan ka liliko. Meron din syang Map ng philippines at marami pang iba and you can download the maps OTA for offline use.

I tried copilot as well pero mas ok sa akin ang interface ng Sygic. I hope this helps parekoy.
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Sygic as posted above is good.

But the best map of the Philippines is the roadguide.ph maps. Unfortunately we don't have garmin for Android yet. But you can use their Navitel maps. Right now, there is no better map of the Philippines than this. And it's (the map) free!
[Galaxy S II General] sicnarf816:
how about mapdroyd. you can use it without internet connection
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
All those gps apps mentioned above are offline, therefore they don't need a data /internet connection
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
This is as far as i go, i got 6 hrs. I didnt turn off wifi and neither the screen. continuous use so i think its fine with me. I just wish as soon as ics finalizes custom kernels will roll out also.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i guess you have too many apps running at the same time? are you using juice defender?

Pongster sa hyperdroid. :p
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
I dont have one. Ym messenger, mail, fb messenger, fb, skype. Thats it. I didnt underclock my cpu. Those are the only apps installed in my sgs2 that time. And juice plotter.
[Galaxy S II General] CamoGeko:
Hmm..... probably most of that is juice plotter. It drains more battery than it saves. Also fb and skype could be helping to kill your battery quicker. Make sure the apps are not running after you exit them.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
indeed! both leave nasty wakelocks...even if i try, with geko's base only id still get longer battery times even if i open more apps and change sets...maybe you should check all your sets there apeatan
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
juice plotter, probably because before with my hd2 i get 3-5mah standby but whenever i run it im only at 5. i cant close those apps as i need to be online with them, and i just some what stressed test my phone based on the most activities (apps, wifi) i do at a time that's why i run all of them at once in that screenshot, so im still good with the results with your settings even i didn't get past 10 hrs.:)

im fine with it for now compare to the duration my screen, wifi, phone is awake they are almost blue all the way and im running @ 1200mhz i think its big improvement for me. as of now i went back to ICS for the screen effect, subtle.:D thanks a lot with the tip for geko95gek's thread im gonna be doing it with my dad's phone.:D:D:D

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
you can still get the ics look by flashing vertumus theme...i think it looks even better than the original one...then use launchers for some functions
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
i mean not the ics look. i think it is the control of colors or something. in LPB its not that saturated compare to gingerbread specially if you put it in "movie". images don't appear too dark or too saturated compare to GB. it is subtle. hopefully final ICS will still be like this. my eyes hurt with the current roms:D:p

i just stumbled with this, anybody here have screen burn in?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
i know someone who had it...setting it too bright...for warranty im afraid...btw in the hyperdroid rom you can adjust mDNIe (screen mode in stock) under androidmeda tweaks at the hyperdroid parts sets...
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
i just suddenly got scared of burn in.:D yeah it has but still can't get the exact result in any combinations i try. i see them somewhat like this. i cant resize the images as the noise wont be seen.

ICS has a little bit less noise and pale

GB noise maybe because of sharpening a bit saturated compared to ICS

maybe my eyes are the problems but i like ICS more for now in terms of image:D
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
not much difference to me...maybe you should see an optometrist hahaha...kiddin...
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
hi guys, I'm on CheckROM v4 and siyah kernel. then I tried to flash NEAK kernel, but it failed (boot loop). I also can't get into recovery so I researched and recovered my phone using ODIN to flash Siyah kernel, but now I have the yellow triangle during boot. how to remove this?
[Galaxy S II General] noobgalaxys2user:
@ cruzargel: try this guide http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14283369&postcount=2 otherwise source out a usb jig and use old bootloader
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
haha...yeah maybe. anyway i've already set my dad's hyperdroid gs2 with geko's settings hopefully he won't be missing his nokia n97 battery performance.:D wish it is march already so the hyper team can make their stable ICS
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
never mind...delete please
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
this is a case of not wiping before flashing and getting a probable corrupt file...use a jig to remove your triangle...personally though id keep it as a reminder...
[Galaxy S II General] cruzargel:
@noobgalaxys2user

thanks man. my S2 is fixed now. no yellow triangle and I'm on Siyah 2.6.9. By the way, does anyone of you sent their handsets for repair concerning the yellow tinting of the screen on the left side?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
so now you believe me that uv/uc/oc changes everything...hmm...
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
yeah i do believe you even before i have somewhat idea on the logic of it and i tried it before with my hd2. its just that i didn't see a big difference before (w/ sgs2)...maybe because the GS2 i tried on it before was not mine, it was my dad's.:D you know the feeling of using and testing something you want but its not yours.:D:D:D nyway thanks again man.!:):):)

ah! no! i remembered it was with my hd2 not gs2, i tried it with "set cpu" app. i wasn't able to do a big reduction in voltages there as my hd2 hangs when i make big adjustments and the small ones are not enough to notice it so i didn't do it anymore with my hd2.
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
@Jermitano,

you are using soulbound blood mode theme right? how did you manage to flash it? i have been trying to use it with hyperdroid v6.1.17 base. i wiped caches before install but after boot nothing is working. i didn't notice any moded app to uninstall.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
my apologies...that was on version 5 and not on what i am currently using which is hyperv6 (check my signature)...bloody wont work with 6 unless you make changes
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
I've owned two s 2's and tried having the yellow tinting changed or repaired. It's useless, they won't fix it. They will just replace it with another yellow tinted screen. Majority of screens have this.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
wow mate you remind me of someone here...just enjoy your phone, and let problems come when they do come...if it aint broke dont fix it as they say...if you want to know the best kernel for your phone, test them all as each kernel may be best for your own unit...i observed from your previous posts that you just flash and flash...let everything settle...learn to benchmark and use your phone as you see fit for your own consumption...and lastly learn to read and "listen" (understand), you like sweeping statements then ask questions about your problem then do want it your own way then when problems come you go ask here...all the resources are here in this forum, and a lot of us are willing to guide you but not do it for you...my 2 cents to you...
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
aaww...i think that's a loooot of work (like manually changing incompatible apps w/ the themed ones' pngs?) you are not using hyperdroid v6.1.17, an older one are you? i tried flashing ics v1.9 for hyper but i got the same effect, apps not responding.
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yup...from people who were able to do it (rinoko, rixsta for a while, veyka)...they changed a lot in the framework and systemui...personally i dont touch those things, save the effort of restoration and not much knowledge on those parts...anyways the stock one for hyperv6+icsdomi1.9 for hyper is very good anyways...all mods work except for the extreme mode...i use go launcher ex for the complete ics experience
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
yeah i remember the days when not much themes were available for hd2 i had to change pngs manually (care of pongster :D) i thought of trying to do it with sgs2 right now but pointless because i won't be able to retain them when i flash a new rom.

i liked the red theme but i was too lazy to try it...but i envied your screenshot so i came back for it.:D:D:D

thanks again a lot bro1:)
[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:
hey guys, anyone know if redpill kernel works on ics roms or is it just for gb roms?
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
nope...not even siyah, neak or speedmod does...only stock ics leaked kernels work on it...cf rooted ones...:p

Someone help me please.

My galaxy s2 i9100 signal is very weak.

I can only gain signal when im outside.

weak network?

Please any suggestions are very much

appreciated.

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
you can change your modem...test which one works for you best...anyways the signal can be a lot of factors...if your area has a weak reception for your network then its your service provider's problem...depends on where you are...here's the thread for flashable modems

[Galaxy S II General] dbanzon:
im currently on a 2.3.6 rom and rooted. Im thinking of trying out a 4.0.3 ics rom. If i flash this and im unhappy and i would like to return to gingerbread, can i just restore a nandroid backup of my current gingerbread rom or do i have to flash an old bootloader first? And what if i dont have a nandroid backup and id like to do a fresh flash of a gb rom coming from an ics rom? ive read this in some thread before but i cant find it anymore. Thanks for any info help.
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
yeah maybe your network, or have you tried your simcard in another phone or different sim and phone but same network? i saw a post, here i think 2 sim with the same network though different lines have different signal strength.:D

@jermitano,

just curious, have you slept already? seems you are off xda only a few hours then back again.:D:D:D
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
of course kababayan ive slept hehehe...if im not checking on my desktop my phone is online haha...:p

---------- Post added at 01:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

i think flashing an ics leaked rom requires changing the pitfile...ive read this as well and tried it...they had problems going back even on nandroid...so personally what i did reverting was to flash again the stock gb rom via odin and re-do everything all over again...in this case titanium back up would be your friend!:)
[Galaxy S II General] yatch17:
Yes. I already tried to insert my current sim to my backup phone but it has a full bar of signal.

That means its not my sim or provider's problem.

What modem version can u suggest?

I'm praying that this is not a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
hahaha...just i thought you don't go away that much with xda. "tambayan" ba?:D:D:D

i'm sorry bro can't help you with that i'm in another country :D you could wait for the guys in here or search in xda.:)

just a thought i made this last night for a dark wallpaper. i just saw one carbon wallpaper here but i didn't like it. anyone who want one here is one, 1600 x 1200 resolution.:D:D

i suggest rooting ur phone..im loving my rooted phone eversince..its like breaking out of the jail ^^,

---------- Post added at 07:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

ive been using CM9 since the first release and i cant get out of it now ^^, ICS is much sweeter and yummier than GB..even sammyICS is ok except with XLPB kernel..with the new XLPH kernel, everything is OK!!!

1) yes u can restore any backed up ROM anytime from any ICS rom..i think i already tried almost all ICS rom here in xda..

2)yes, u can do a fresh flash of GB rom from ICS..just do full wipe..thats 3 wipes or 4 including battery stats... and no need for any bootloader..
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
i do plan to root my phone sir. a rooted phone can have alot of capabilities in terms of android development. but in the meantime i'll try to stick with the stock roms first.:D

what's the easiest and safest way for a noob like me to update to DXKL3?

thanks
[Galaxy S II General] apeatan:
whats wrong with LPB? and what's with LPH kernel it is still stock right?
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
u need a rooted phone for that to happen ^^, unless samsung has released an official update ^^, u can check using KIES
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
ok sir thanks, guess will have to stick to this for a while. :D
[Galaxy S II General] DAMAGE_INC29:
LPB kernel has sensitivity/response time issue..so u will see a little delay in swipping and texting..LPH is the latest leak from samsung

Go to Samsung website, download and install Kies. Then plug in your phone and it will auto update. :-)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
flash intratech's official firmware via odin;)
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Or just install it via Kies
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
yeah this too...havent use kies in a long time ive forgotten it existed hahaha
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Same here :D

Last time I used kies was just to install drivers for my s2 other than that nothing more :D

Guys, what can you do with 50mb worth of internet per kilobyte? Because one internet promo of globe is powersurf 99 worth 50mb consumable internet valid for 1 month.

What can you do with 50mb?
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Facebook, twitter,weather update , sync etc...

The answer will still depend on the user how to use it
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Lots! 50mb is too few for me. I consume around 500 mb per month on the s 2. Depends on the user, really. :-)

some facebook...some market update...some browsing...ultra light usage...dont know why telcos offer these promos with the advent of smartphones...my one day unli surf i finish off in an hour because of their 700mb cap...
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
thank you for all your suggestions. if i try to update via kies, i understand that if i open kies and there is a new update it will just prompt right? coz i have opened kies and link it to my laptop but i cant find anything other than the files i have on my phone. sorry for being a noob.:D i know it would be probably be easier if i have root access already but i decided not to at the moment as i still want to enjoy the stock feel of the phone.hehehe. but i will do it soon.

sir i need root access to this tama po ba?
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
^ You don't need to be rooted to flash any stock firmware with ODIN.

If you want the latest firmware dxkl3, download all the necessary files in intratechs thread and its very important to follow instructions carefully. Note you have an expensive device, It will be a waste to brick it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] pauch_19@yahoo.com:
i agree with you sir thats why im very careful as i am still trying to learn things here in the s2 forums and the device itself. my previous phone was htc and i flash updates of cm7 builds easily using cwm. i am more familiar with the process and if ever id go wrong i know i can always do a nand restore. :D its a whole new ballgame here so i need to be very careful.

btw sir, you dont happen to be from iloilo right? or are you? hehe

yes you are sir. lol i bought the usb jig from you last saturday...sa marymart. hahaha!
[Galaxy S II General] prinzhernan:
Make sure it's the updated version of kies. Click about then check for updates.

Hi, just got an S2,

am from Manila,

what ROM would you guys suggest? is ICS good enough for daily use already?

many TIA
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
no official ics fw yet...just update your phone via kies and enjoy it.if you want to root and customize, better start reading. :)
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
updating official stock needs no rooting...check out intratechs thread on official fw...
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
Yes I am :D

Once you are rooted you can use CWM as you did with HTC fairly easy process and its safe to flash any new ROMs, MODS, Themes etc...
[Galaxy S II General] DON2003:
pls recommend best custom ROM for daily use, thanks
[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
that only you can answer...i suggest you read on the roms available and see the one that will suit ur need...anyways if you want something that is stable and as near as stock go villain...read on check/batista and hyper...
[Galaxy S II General] deltashock:
There's a lot to choose from if you are new you can start out at either CheckROM RevoHD™ V6 or HyperDroid Androidmeda v6.1.17

If ICS beta Resurrection Remix ics v9.3 or AndyX ROM™ v5.3

Test all of them see what you like best and also try different kernels to go with it.

Congrats. I personally use VillainROM 3 cause its been rock solid for me since September. Just update its kernel to neak or phenomenal. Personally, I'm on phenomenal 4.

From what I've seen around the forum, ics may not be ready as a daily driver yet.

Best to wait till March.

[Galaxy S II General] jermitano:
from what i remember, dxkl3 is the current here (2.3.6) unless you are overseas (but i doubt that an official right now stands at 2.3.5, and i stand corrected as always hehe)...in case it does say so better flash the "newest" one for the region via odin using intratech's thread...;)
[Galaxy S II General] Flash05:
i was charging my sgs2 yesterday via laptop's USB. it reached 100% and i did not hear alert to remove. when i was about to leave from 100% it went down to 24%. im sure it was charging, i can see the bolt on the battery.

as soon as i arrive home i charge it via wall outlet. seems ok. now.

what went wrong there? im on stock 2.3.6. later will charge it again via usb. tsk tsk.

im on my 35th day w/o reboot... bug perhaps? battery problem? using extended battery btw. samsung official 2A.
[Galaxy S II General] daimler1727:
I can't really figure out what exactly happened on your device, sir. But just one question: Did you have your ROM modified for at least once already? Anyway, even if you did not, chances are, your battery might (just might) not be calibrated on your devices battery log information. You might wanna try using BatteryCalibration on your device. It will guide you on how to calibrate your battery. I don't promise for it to work 100% but at least it will help you isolate your problem. I hope this helps. :)
