Just flashed KI3 (non wipe version) after the positive feedback here, looking forward to the results as this is the first update I've installed since buying the phone (was on official KF3/cf-root, but sick of no official update through Kies).

I've rooted again using cf-root. All went smoothly, except for not having a mobile network connection. I just cleared the dialler data, and all reset to normal. My CSC is still showing as CPW, is that to be expected??? I was thinking it would become XEU?

For the record, I quite like the blue glow on overscroll :cool:

Is there anything special I need to do if I'm not already on stock (I have the little yellow triangle, currently running Villian Rom) or do I just download the build and use that tool (ODEN is it?)

Sorry, I'm fairly new to android!

Thanks!

I feel instead of posting lot of screenshots the best would be to just post the Display screenshot of How many hours display is used as that would give a better idea, as the Display is the biggest battery hogger.

So effectively a person who uses the phone a lot will use more battery then the one who rarely looks at his phone :D
[Galaxy S II General] FogDogg:
I'm pretty sure it's my modem (KI1) but I'm 31% with 1h23m worth of phone calls using 51% of my battery.

Switching to KI3 to see if it helps.

One thing that's going to be a piss off from now on is the lack of the bounce at the end of scrollable lists. I'm going to have to find a tweak after each ROM upgrade.

Well i have even quite impressivd battery on stock 2.3.3
[Galaxy S II General] Universeal:
For me battery life on 2.3.5 sucks it las me 1d10h close to this and i even don't use the phone, it's just stays a lot idle with wifi always on and email check every 5min.
[Galaxy S II General] MrPhilo:
To me I don't think its related to 2.3.5 but the modem it is based on KI1 or something makes the phone way more hotter and as well battery life decrease.

I've just reflashed KH3 modem and the phone is alot cooler and better battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] munishk1865:
can somebody give me the link to download 2.3.5 stock firmware

currently my phone is on android version 2.3.3 & kernel version 2.6.35.7-i9100XWKF3.....plzzzzz i want to check my battery backup on this firmware also bcoz currently my battery backup is very poor......?
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
+1 on that... I had to flash KH3 modem to stop the phone heating too
[Galaxy S II General] akbarhash:
Really it is not simple as download new firmware, hit next next and finish and you are done, read for a week and see where your problems lie, there are many threads regarding battery life.

Then go to this thread and get your firmware.

Please don't ask which one is best for me etc. Read some more and decide for yourself it is all explained in clear words.
[Galaxy S II General] Nivekius:
Oh hi

Don't have something like this (cable) in Germany ;)? Can almost see Germany from here.

Actually hope fiberglass will be rolled out here (like they are in UK) since this upload is rather slow (when compared to download).

Anyway time to experiment with this 2.3.5 kernel, still using ninphetamine 2.0.5 though it is decent, some pics, when in Deep Sleep (almost 90% of the time in those pics) :p.
[Galaxy S II General] munishk1865:

[Galaxy S II General] Sharpshooterrr:
This is nice to know. Looks like they got it right with 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II General] madmack:
those who have great battery with 2.3.5:

1. did you flash the bootloader as well? boot.img ?

2. did you factory reset or have the device wiped after the installation?

not so impressed with 2.3.5 on my device here :( maybe the KI3 modem doesn't like talking with the AT&T towers here in Boston.
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
I did not flash boot loader nor do a reset of any kind. I came from KG2 (vodafone UK)

I'm generally seeing around 2% loss per hour on wifi. (with 2G signal, not using for data) I have facebook, twitter, gmail, talk, astrid notifications enabled & many others I forget. I try to avoid apps that only do polling, and use "autosync account activator" to set contact sync etc to daily

This is with minimal use (been working today).

With say around 1:30 - 1:45 display time and active browser/forum/twitter/facebook use, 50/50 3G/wifi the battery lasts I guess around 17h +

Power saving is disabled, battery is stock 1650 mAh,

I do use "better battery stats" to pay close attention to process workload and wakelocks. Anything bad is removed!
[Galaxy S II General] gc3:
my first day on 2.3.5 (stock) after 3 days on 2.3.4 (stock)...initial subjective impression is that 2.3.4 provided better battery life (for me)...I will revisit my comments in a couple more days.
[Galaxy S II General] Veeko:
did you guys have to manually download and flash 2.3.5 or did you download it via a kies update?
[Galaxy S II General] rikken:
Via Kies :)
[Galaxy S II General] Veeko:
Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] Smartie36:
Dunno if it's down to running 2.3.5 or the fact that I've ditched the widgets I wasn't using, replaced the live wallpaper with a static one & also diabled auto updating and auto sync but I've no managed 36 hours before needing to re-charge & that was with moderate usage.
[Galaxy S II General] Veeko:

[Galaxy S II General] amandureja:
How are you guys getting such amazing battery life? Mine runs down about 5% every hour just idling in sleep mode. I have frozen everything that is said to have a negative impact on battery life, and have no wakelock problems or anything of the sort. Running rooted stock KI3. This is just getting so annoying! Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S II General] donalgodon:
The CSC difference isn't really going to give you any problem. The only time this would be a concern is with a Chinese ROM.

Just be aware that, on first boot, KI8 is not in English. It's a Nordic localized ROM after all. Just push the bottom right button at the first screen (the 'touch the Android to start' screen) to change language, and you are good to go.

You MAY notice that a different radio will be better (depending on your region) but I've never had a problem with the default radio on any stock ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
5% an hour in idle, thats way too much. Last time I checked I was losing roughly 1% every 4-5 hours (battery drain over 9 hours whilst I slept). There must be SOMETHING constantly running in the background, download cpu spy and see if your phone is actually idling, or use the better battery app to see how long the phone is awake for
[Galaxy S II General] planetf1:
Do you still get the same loss in airplane mode (with wifi re-enabled).

If *not* perhaps it relates to something like fast dormancy?

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

1% every 4-5 hours is brilliant. seriously brilliant.

Do you have background data enabled?

I was getting around 1.25%/hour with gtalk,gmail,twitter,facebook all setup for push. Connected on wifi, also active on 3G but with lower signal strength

Calibrate your phone battery m8,this will Slove your problems
[Galaxy S II General] emze:
my phone ran for 22hours moderate use(display 1hr 30min and voice calls 30min) battery was at 52% and it dropped to 16% in 4 hours(display was on for quite sometime, using internet with wifi) but then, it is a huge drop.
[Galaxy S II General] tftd:
There is a slight difference on Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100.

When I was on 2.3.3 the battery would drop from 100% (when fully charged) to 90-tish for about an hour. Now (with no usage) it drops ~3% per hour. When I'm using the phone it runs for about 8-10 hours the most. The problem with the battery is not yet fixed fully I think.
[Galaxy S II General] scinty83:
I too did not work. I have 2.3.5 but the battery to empty in a few hours ... the only solution is always disable the 3g ... this thing is really bothering me ...!!!!!!!!!!
[Galaxy S II General] danchitu86:
I have 2.3.5 XWKI8.

In only 18 hours without Wifi/Bluetooth/3G activated, 4min of calls and 20 min of display on I have 77% of battery left - that means ~1,3%/hour -> only standby.

It's not so much, but look to the Android OS: 83 %, isn't that to big?

How is yours? What could cause this big percent?
[Galaxy S II General] xeq544:
Yes, the battery is awesome, even more with Syiah 1.8 which eliminates the aos bug :) Im pretty much blown away

[Galaxy S II General] vikingabroad123:
Lies! My phone/battery, as well as 3 other SG2s that we have here at work (dying after 12-14 hours of just idling), says otherwise.

Unless there's another issue all together. Wish I could root my work phone:(

[General Questions and Answers] jordanthompson:
I am running Froyo 7 with Glemson's latest build (9/14) on my HTC Touchpro II. When I connect my phone to my computer, the computer recognizes the phone as a mass storage (the popup on the computer indicates the device driver is installed and the drive appears under "Devices with removable storage",) but when I try to browse it, I get the famous "Please insert a disk into removable disk X".

The phone says "USB connected" and sometimes will periodically pop up with the message "USB Connected" and a button saying, "click to turn on USB storage". When I click the button, the spinner starts, but nothing happens.

I have turned on "USB debugging" on android.

I am able to use the same cable/USB port for data transfer between my computer and phone (when the phone is running windows mobile 6.1) In fact, this is the only way I am able to transfer data to my phone. It works, but it is a pain in the butt!

For your info - The Detail is pretty much an unbranded Evo Shift, available for MNVO's... My colleague just picked up one through Credo Mobile (Sprint). The device came with Android 2.2 out of the box, so is it possible to perma-root this device?

If so, would it be possible to use EVO Shift roms on the device? I know that its impossible to answer these questions without actually having a device to test - i'm pretty much just bouncing ideas off you guys.

Has anyone else that has rooted this phone had any problems sending and receiving MMS or long text messages that need to be split up? Since rooting trying to send long texts says "Sending" for a long time and eventually fails. If it says sent, it usually comes back as failed shortly after. MMS usually says "Sent" but never shows up for the recipient.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rantatron:
After numerous ROM flashing/kernal changes, I've noticed something really weird: I have two very specific deadzones on my phone, which are getting quite annoying.

They're horizontal lines that go across the top and bottom... sixth of my phone? When running the default CM7 keyboard, it goes across the "n" and "backspace" row of the keyboard, making it very difficult to operate. Using a multitouch testing tool to drag across the lines, it "skips" across the deadzone.

It happens along multiple ROMs (Alien, Aura, Bell Gobstopper Stock 2.3.4, CM7), and persists even when I go back to the ROM where it last worked (CM7 pre-beta 4).

Here's the thing though: I don't think it's a hardware failure.

If it were, the deadzone along the keyboard wouldn't go away when I downloaded a new keyboard (Thumb Keyboard, the default Motoblur keyboard); it would be persistent, right?

Here's the things that I'm thinking of:

Kernal issues - I'm not sure how specific this is.

ROM issues - I've gone back to stock (Gobstopper) and re-unlocked my phone and done the whole process over. Still the same problem

SBF (maybe it would help, as opposed to just flashing things over and over?)

CWM version: I'm using the version installed from ROM Manager; am I doing something wrong?

And that's it. I'm running everything off a Bell Atrix, with the belllatest.zip radios.

Hello XDAérs,

I unfortunately bricked my phone. I started with downloading ODIN and CF-Root-SGS2_XW_CLK_KF3-v4.0-CWM4. I was able to get into the download mode and open the .tar. This was succesfull, I got to see my homescreen after the reboot. After that I made a backup using CWM.

And this is where I made the mistake. I opened CWM and opened cm_galaxys2_full-65 by using Flash an update. The device booted and started to install this and afterwards got stuck at the yellow warning sign!

I was hoping to fix this by going to the download mode and using ODIN again but this didn't help.

How can I fix this?
