[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
my battery life has been jumping all over the place, and my phone has been getting in the habit of randomly shutting off

bye bye samsung :mad:
[Vibrant General] gocalbears:
if you're rooted, perhaps try going to Recovery and wiping battery stats?
[Vibrant General] lazyb421:
Wiping battery stats from recovery has been known not to work right. Download the Battery Calibration app from the market for free. Just charge your phones to 100%, open the app and press the calibrate button, then unplug your phone from the charger. Then fully discharge your battery and charge back to full without a break. Hope it helps!
[Vibrant General] Deleted member 3572053:
Happens to my vibrant only while charging. Its really stupid actually cause I have to do a battery pull to get it to even start up again
[Vibrant General] KWKSLVR:
Just some thoughts, one thing I've noticed here in Birmingham at least is that, regardless of ROM, my phone swaps backs and forth between 3G and 4G constantly. It definitely affects battery life and it's something unique to my area I believe. When I go to Atlanta, it'll stay on HSDPA and as a result I get longer battery life. T-Mobile actually had widespread issues with this and supposedly fixed it but from the sounds of things it's still a problem in many areas.

As far as phones shutting off randomly, that could be your ROM. I had that problem on one of the CM7 nightlies but after going back to stock with Odin and giving it another whirl, that issue went away.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
same here and I re-calibrated my battery already..

both mine and gf's battery are worse now.

Our phone is 1-year-old..and it is ONLY 1-year-old...

cant believe the battery life can last that LONG...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tclayson:
Ok, so bit of background here.

I installed MIUI Rom using GOT OpenRecovery.

Its very cool and I really enjoy using it. Much better (IMO) than CM7.

It got to Saturday and it said there was an OTA update to install which I couldn't work out how to install. On researching it a bit around the internet it turns out that you need to have ClockworkMod Recovery flashed in order to install OTA updates.

So I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery. I did a few different things. Firstly I downloaded the ClockworkMod Rom Manager and chose the option in there to flash. It said "Downloaded successfully" but it didn't flash. I rebooted into recovery and tried to "Apply update.zip" but it said something about it not being signed properly and wouldn't open.

So onto the next bit. I tried to flash it using one of the many manual instructions on the internet. eg:

adb shell
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

and

fastboot-mac flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img

The first one seems to be quite quick and just goes to the next # line. There's no error or confirmation or anything. This one broke the stock recovery. Now when I boot into recovery there's just a bootloader screen with an error on it (Err:A5,69,35,00,2F).

The second one doesn't do anything. Well it goes onto a new line and it says "sending 'recovery' (2798 KB)..." and just stays like that indefinitely until I do Ctrl+C and cancel it. Similarly doing:

fastboot-mac erase recovery

shows: "erasing 'recovery'..." and stays at that indefinitely.

So now I'm stuck. My system works - I can boot into MIUI and use the phone normally, but I don't know how to get the recovery partition working properly.

The best thing that could happen is that I get ClockworkMod Recovery installed so that I can flash MIUI updates, but failing that I would at least like to get the stock recovery back so I can continue to use GOT OpenRecovery.

What can I do to sort this?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
GOT recovery? You have a Milestone then? You are on the wrong path then. Clockwork Recovery Mod doesn't work on the Milestone, nor does ROM Manager.

You need to reflash the stock sbf for your country, then flash the rootable sbf, place OpenRecovery on your SD Card, and root the phone, flash a custom ROM and reboot. Look at the tutorials in the Milestone development forum and ask here if you have any other questions.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tclayson:
I do have a milestone - sorry, I forgot it was the Droid AND Milestone forum. :)

Motorola milestone is included in the list of recovery images on the clockworkmod website (clockworkmod[dot]com/recovery_images.html). Plus when installing the ROM Manager and clicking "flash recovery" it says "Confirm phone" with "Motorola Milestone" in the options.

I'm pretty sure as well from reading around on the internet and looking at different forums and such that Clockworkmod does work on the Milestone... maybe I'm completely wrong.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
It doesn't work, even though it shows it as supported. Because the bootloader is not unlocked on the Milestone, it will cause a soft brick. You will need to follow my instructions to get your Milestone running on MIUI again. The OTA update for MIUI works for devices with CWM installed, so it doesn't really work with Milestone. You'll need to manually update MIUI when DannyDroid posts the updates.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tclayson:
Ah gutted, ok thank you for that. :) I will follow your instructions. :) Thanks for clearing it up for me.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tclayson:
Just out of interest - a quick search on google shows that it IS possible to update MIUI OTA for the Milestone... Any ideas how that works? Is there a different recovery or something?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
People say that ROM Manager MIGHT work on Milestone. I don't think so and I wouldn't risk it just for OTA updates, seeing as the miuiAndroid build is very basic compared to the one Danny releases. Better to just wait for his releases, a lot more worthwhile!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tclayson:
Ok, well thank you very much! :) Restored to stock and gonna keep on top of danny's releases. Thanks skadude.

Okay, to be clear, does the phone screen turn on? If so, how far does it get? (Does it get to the HTC splash screen?).

Hey guys,

After hacking many many apps to fit my themes, I've decided to just come out with a theme of my own. It's for ADW launcher, and although it's pretty simple, I'd love if some of you guys could check it out and download it.

It's FREE, and even if you don't have ADW, it would make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside if some you guys could download it. It's extremely small, doesn't show up in your app drawer, and doesn't run in the background.

You can find it here: dberm22's 3D Metal Theme

[Galaxy S II Accessories] iamacow:
I came across this 3M Vikuiti SPs while searching for "3M" and "Galaxy S2" in ebay. seems like there's quite a bit of positive reviews for it online.

Well, according to www[dot]3m-displayschutz[dot]de the CV8 can actually heal itself of micro scratches!

If you google "Vikuiti CV8 dqc160 ADQC27", there's a link by bedifol saying that CV8 has the strongest adhesive, with more descriptions.

www[dot]screen-protectors-shop[dot]com gives a good table breakdown of the different models.

I'm so interested to see what the different ones are like that I bought all 3 versions; the CV8, dqc160, and the ADQC27.

Anyone else got them?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] KLoNe1:
I bought the ADQC27 when it just came out. HORRIBLE laser cutter; totally off. They refunded my money.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
The domestic Korea 3M Estoc+ does self healing magic too, and has BEAUTIFUL fit.

Peoblem Is, it's specifically for Korean markets only, for now anyway.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Darclite:
I first bought a Vikuiti 3m protector for my S2 and was left really disappointed after reading some good reviews for other devices; the protector wasnt the right size, the cutouts were badly positioned and in a couple of small places the adhesive backing was absent causing unremovable bubbles :(

Bought myself a set of SGP ultraoleophobic protectors and have been amazed at how good they are, well worth the premium price! :) If youre after a case too the SGP Neo Hybrid is really nice and it comes with an included SGP ultra crystal protector, great value! :D
[Galaxy S II Accessories] iamacow:
I ordered a CV8, DQC160, and ADQC27 SP to replace my spoilt SP.

--history--

My SGP Ultra optics was a horrible disaster, it blurred the screen, made swishing noises and created cloudy messes from my oily face. It lived about 5 days on my SGS2 before I tore it off.

My SGP Ultra Oleophobic SP stayed on for quite a while. The screen was brilliant with it on. When compared to a couple of my other friend's SGS2, my screen was definitely sharper and brighter, that they switched to Ultra Oleophobic SPs shortly (Though one guy maintained his privacy filter)

Recently, my phone fell, and it hit some pebbles. My SGP Ultra Oleophobic got punctured. Honestly, I have no idea how else to describe it. After using 2 months, I could also see micro-scratches on the SP. Anyway I was pretty upset, so I was out to try other SPs.

--end--

Review time

1. CV8

This was the first SP I tried on my SGS2 as there were two pieces in the packet.

By god it's horrible. The glue/adhesive was kinda very sticky, air bubbles were crazy hard to remove. I haven't screwed up a SP for a long time, and I know I'm looking at a screwed one. The cut outs were more or less accurate, so you have to exercise a lot of care in placing it.

That said, the SP felt smooth, and the extra hard coat on top of it was obvious. It felt more sturdy+reliable than the UltraOleophobic. It even withstood my sharp penknife scraping the top gently, and I didn't get any scratches.

I'm very sure that it's alot harder than most (if not all) SP's I've ever tested.

Verdict: Avoid, unless you're really really good at putting on SPs. It's incredible hard to put on, but it definitely won't drop off easily. Too bad I can't really test its claims of removing micro scratches, as I took it off to try the DQC160.

2. DQC160

Very precise cut out, so effort is needed to ensure that the SP is laid down correctly. Some special glue is used, quite different from the Japan/Korean made SPs. You will get bubbles no matter how you put it, but they can be removed. You just need to force the bubbles away. The glue will actually help force the air bubbles out, and with some effort you can get a 0 air bubbles SP.

While still as glossy, it's somewhat less reflective than the SGP UltraOleophobic SP. Goodness knows why, bit under dimmer lights, I can hardly make out my reflections on a blank screen, unlike previously with SGP. The surface of it is very smooth, and it has a teflon feel. The SGP Ultra Oleophobic feels exactly like the original glass panel; This SP while just as invisible, feels too smooth.

Verdict: It's pretty good IMHO, but the installation process is difficult. I've decided to keep this SP for at least a week more, will give more feedback then.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] eiraku:
The DCQ sounds like a Euro version of the Estoc, possibly with different glue.

I just flashed LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5. And also did the Sense 3.0 pack V4 A2SD++.

No I'm having a few 'problems' the notification bar is pretty laggy and the weather feat isn't working properly. No big issues but I wanted to get them out of the way so I tried to flash the Black Clock Widget for Sense 3.0 but that gave me following error:

You cant install the clock cause leedroid is not a sense 3.0 rom, its a 2.1 sense rom, i recomme.d you use the aurora v03 or acesv3 rom, cause they are alot smoother and real sense 3.0 roms.

Ok, let's see...

It looks as there is a problem with the sense3 pack. The missing file is flashed with this pack. Your free memory seems to be ok (405 mb is RAM btw)

Where do you get the missing file message?

You don't have to by root explorer, try file expert, its free...

I would try to flash the sense3 pack again, followed by a reboot. Then flash my black clock mod (link in my Sig) again.

The power menu is known as a little laggy. The weather thing could be cured, if you delete data+cache of the weather app in settings, manage applications... See the FAQ-thread for more informations (link in my Sig)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:

Hmm, you can try to Mount SD-ext before flash the mod... No other idea...

If that doesn't work, open my mod-zip, copy the apk from there to the same folder in sense3 pack. (Use 7zip to open the zip's, paste the file , don't extract) flash again ...

I also tried flashing the Dark+ Autobrightness patch but that one gave me a missing file: system/build.prop error...

I flashed a new recovery, came from RA_Desire 2.0.0 and now have recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3.110952.

This did the trick, flashing without problem.

Some problems still exist. the weather feat still doesn't display the weather...

And the clock only displays one 'black' segment...

I also got a error when trying to backup (error after the backup started to backup sd-ext).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
Ok, its basically possible that the recovery cause some of this problems.

The other things you described, let me think, that your SD-ext partition is faulty...

I recommend to do a full wipe reinstall. Delete all partitions on SD and build them new, use gparted...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devenda:
Would partitioning be possible with the build in partitioner in my recovery?

If not, I'll just use gparted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anderl78:
It's not possible with the recovery. I recommend to use gparted. Using a SD-card reader is usually the best way.

1. Make a backup of the files on fat32 partition to your pc.

2. Boot your pc into gparted

3. Delete all partitions on the SD-card (click apply!)

4. Create the new partitions, click apply again

5. Copy the fat32-content back to your SD-card

6. Make sure, the ROM.zip is on SD-card too (make sure, its a valid copy - check md5)

7. Recovery - Full wipe - Flash the Rom.

8. And so on...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devenda:

Ok, looked again into it. The apk is ok, the weather clock is black. The only difference is, that I used in the notification mod other update_binary and other Mount commands. I changed that to test if it works now for you. Please try the attached file.

What to know:

-sense3 pack have to be successfully flashed. (boot up, then go to recovery, flash my mod)

-A Nandroid is recommended.

-Try without and if not working with mounting SD-ext in recovery before flashing.

-boot will need some time (dalvik-cache wiped during flash)

Hey guys,

I've recently acquired a shiny new S II and am looking to root it.

Thing is, I'm slightly scared of bricking my phone, so I just wanted to post my plan of attack here, to make sure it made sense to you knowledgeable gentlemen :)

1) Install Kies from Samsungs's website and install it on my PC - done!

2) Grabbthe OZS_KG2 zip from this post (my kernel ends BUKG2) - done!

3) Download Odin v1.83 - done!

4) Use the instrucutions in this post. (I've already downloaded s2root)

5) After rooting, update the kernel one more time (using odin) to a proper one from here - probably the XXKG3 one to be safe - to get rid of the yellow triangle thing.

Does this sound ok? I've not missed anything obvious out, have I?

I've backed up contacts/APN etc to be safe, but am I correct in assuming that rooting shouldn't wipe any data?
