[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
You nearly cant brick your phone....if there is a software problem after flashing...you can ( that will be the last time I say this ) go back to stock and start from zero.

Only way, I think, to brick your phone is when you pull the cable while flashing with odin or your battery runs out of power while flashing. Or you do any other strange things with your phone while flashing.

So make sure you follow all the steps according to the description.

I installed DlevROM2 and VillianROM last night but I decided to keep DlevROM2 as that seemed to offer more.

Thanks for all you help, it was very easy.

My battery drain is still the same so maybe I have a poor battery so may get myself a new one from ebay.

One thing I am unsure is how to get rid of the yellow triangle without getting rid of the KERNAL that came with this ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Nice...welcome to the custom world :)

But what exactly do you mean by battery drain?How long does a full charge hold out?

I dont think your battery is broken somehow....look up the general forums...there are plenty of people who experienced a huge battery drain too. And there are of course answers to that question.

There is a way to get rid of the yellow triangle, also in the general forums I think.

But you know what, I left it there because it reminds me and anyone who might see it that I have something different ähm better ;)

By the way...you should take a look at BatistaRom, thats the one I'm on...and battery life is from what I experienced great and the rom is overall also very good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Good choice of rom there fella.;) BatistaRom and Ninp kernel 2.0.5 works great for me and battery life is the business...put the right frequencies on setcpu enable your screenoff profile and thats it..

Regarding the yellow triangle..reallly does not bother me...but if you want to get rid of it check in the original dev the chainfire root thread...has guide on how to get rid of triangle
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Jep...Batista Rocks....tried some others in last couple of days because I'm sick at home but jeah you know I always went back to Batista immediately. Its just overall the best experience from my point of view.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
I unplugged it about 2 hours ago and it's gone down 10% and only sent a few texts and a little internet seach, so not much use.

I have calibrated it so will see how it is in a few days.

I cant seem to find that ROM apart from one which was last updated in July?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
You mean the Batista?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162715

Do you have any background syncing apps running ?

But use it a whole day or so and then make a screenshot of your battery consumption screen and post that. If you think your battery life is bad.

And of course read through some of the post concerning battery life and battery drain in the general forums.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Do I need to do a full wipe?

Guide for Batista70 3.7.7

1) Copy the ZIP file (not unzip) Batista70 ROM memory of the phone sdcard

2) Unplug the USB memory and restart the phone in recovery mode

3) Now select the "Install zip from sdcard" and then the "choose zip from sdcard" and select the Rom Batista70

4) After the installation select the "reboot system now"

Or is that the wrong one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
That is actually the guide for batista 3.7.7 but the procedure is the same for every .zip-file you can flash. So dont get confused by the naming there.

But the current version is "Batista Foxhound 2.0" you have to scroll down a little bit.

Only thing you should consider is flashing a different kernel than the Abyss kernel that comes with the rom , like Matriak said Ninpo 2.0.5 and the settings in setcpu should give you a great battery life.

But you can then decide based on your own experience.

Concerning the wipe...No..dont think so. The latest Foxhound version will do a wipe by itself.

Do you know what could cause my 3g signal not showing when phone is just awoke from idle, it takes about 5 secs for it to show up?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
How you mean 3g signal not showing up ? the icon in the statusbar?

On Batista?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
yes but on Dlevrom, do you know what causes the signal loss?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Do you use any EnergySaver apps or the built in function ?

Maybe that switches the 3g/mobile data on/off to save energy while in sleep, something like that maybe.

But I'm not into DelvRom, so would be better to ask questions in the original Rom thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
sometimes if i am on wifi and have data on as well the data does not show...dont ask me why but thats how it is..when i switch off wifi the data icon comes up ie 3g or H+.. but i know that if the icon does now show my data is still on...so im not to fussed about it.

now if you are going to install batista rom go for Foxhoud...trust me its the best rom so far
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
I think it must have been JuiceDefender as it now works fine.

Never had that experience before, at least I know juice is working.

What version of Ninphetimine are you using?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
2.0.5 and unistall JuiceDefender if i was you..Does not do anything...Works for some does not for others...My advice on personal experience is use the task manager that comes with your phone....because with juicedefender i had dropped calls and my wifi sometimes disconnected
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Thanks, now have 2.0.5 running and unistalled Juice

what does the Kernal actually do?

should I use Setcpu and how does it work?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
ups didn't saw the next posts :)

Jeah those battery saver apps are not doing anything that you could not control by yourself in a better way.

To make a long story short...the kernel provides several functions that are used by the system.

Yes you should use setcpu. Just start the app and change the variables like in the first post from Batista rom or search the thread for some other variations from other users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No do not use Setcpu till you get familiar with it. Use the kernel as it is dont touch anything and just sit back and enjoy it. if you have problems and you still feel the drain then i will help you set it up with setcpu..but since your still a baby in flashing and trying things out leave things stock for now....most of the stuff come with goodies anyway...were you got the kernel read through the thread of the opening page
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
That is totally normal because the icons are only shown when your phone is actually connected to a network.

If you are connected to your wifi then the 3g icon dissapears because you are not actually connected to it although it is still on and ready to take over if the wifi signal is lost. Same thing vice versa.

How can I check actual battery usage display etc?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
go into settings, about phone and there you will find your battery usage display stuff..

cant remember if your on 2.3.5 but if you do the same settings but this time applications and you will find battery usage stuff there to:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
I have seen that but only gives me % not actual time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
you mean you want to check your actual display time on? if thats what you want then same procedure again but this time press on the thing that shows the percentage..for example display press on it and then it will give you a screen with your display percentage and how much screen time you had while you was using the phone..but thats while the screen was on not off..if that makes sense

i dont no my old kernel

i rooted my sgs2 with litening 6.1 and ever since then my internet is going very slow i hardly ever get h+ only if i got full bars and even then not much.

so i want to go back to original kernel but i dont no wat my original kernal was befor i rooted it . its got the rooted kernel in about phone> baseband version / kernel number. any one know how to find out my old kernel or no how to speed up the internet on litening 6.1?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Hey, one day is ok...we have to be aware that this phone has so much power that it needs more juice the more things we do with it. Mine needs charging every day too but I'm more like a heavy user. So from my pov you only get two days or more out of it if you dont actually use your phone.

What was your battery life before and on what rom? Stock?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
What you mean by rooting with litening 6.1, you mean you flashed the custom rom right?

But I think the problem roots in your modem not your kernrl.

To solve your problems you could flash a different modem...did you try that? Don't know what modem will be best for you, but I know different modems are made for different countries and their infrastructure. . So you may check out a thread about all the different modems or first ask in the original Rom thread they should know best.

For your question about old kernel, no if you dont remember...we obviously can't. But it should have the same version as your firmware that you had before. But if you want to go back to stock you could just flash any stock fw and also get a stock kernel back with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
I use my phone to listen to music, web and it lasts from morning until bed, charge it overnight. I think its better than when I got it but still not as good as most. I had it unplugged for 18 hours and it was at 30‰ with minimal use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Well 18h minimal use and 30 left is not superbad, but yeah could be better.

What kernel do you use? Maybe a change there could give you some more time.

But as Matriak and I told you in the beginning...if you are not satisfied with it right now...you could get more out of it with some undervolting, but only if you are feeling ready for it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Tell me more please
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Hey.

Well there is not much about it.

Go grab yourself a kernel that supports undervolting, grab 'setcpu' app here from the forum and gogogo :)

Now you are able to set the volt numbers for the different frequencies by yourself. Go check out the first page of batista rom for some good numbers to use with 'abyss' kernel. So it depends on what kernel you use. Two ways to get good numbers : 1. Try by yourself or find people who already undervolt the kernel and made their numbers available somewhere.

If you search the batista rom for frequencies you will find a lot of people showing their numbers and experiences. But in the end you will find your own numbers to be happy with. Too high volt will bring no effort, too low numbers will make your phone stop running.

So first thing to do....make a backup with cwm. So in case your phone won't run properly you can switch back.

If you have more questions or absolutely don't know what I'm talking about, ask before you do ;)

My battery yesterday was unplugged for 15 hours with nearly 3 hours on screen display and it was down to 5%, is that good or bad?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Depends on what you were doing while the display was on....gaming, texting,....

And of course it depends on the standard things... Brightness, wlan or 3g, background sync,....

If you want some numbers from others, ho check the batista rom thread. The are many who share their stats und you can then compare them to your own...but remember these are batista rom numbers and most of the time with different kernels. But you get the idea when looking at them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Brightness is about 20% but not sure, how do I check it? I was checking football scores, web surfing and watching ESPN goals in those 3 hours. What's your battery like? Today my battery is 35% after 12 hours, 2 hours display and 1.5 of music
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Don't know how to check the real % numbers. There is a slider in the display settings.

About my battery life. As I dont mind charging my phone in the evening I'm more like a power user. So I do lots of stuff. But I would say a normal day of my use gives me about 20 hours.

I attached two screens.

One that I made after a day in university last week incl. 3g/wifi... music, lots of surfing, gaming, downloading, texting and other stuff like calender and a that. It's about 15 hours and didn't start at 100 and didn't end at zero. So 20h I guess should be reachable. And I could easily get more out if I just do less things.

The other one is from today. Beeing at home with wifi. Some calls, some twitter and stuff, some reboots with flashing, but not much use all together.

Hope that gives you an idea.

I did it again last night but kept 3g on, went down 12% in 7 hours.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Hmm that is a lot but 3g is a battery killer. Especially if you don't have a good connection.

Ok then I will run a 3g test tonight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serpicoUK:
Has gone down 35% with some use in 9 hours with 3g on all day.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
As I said...3g is hungry in terms of battery and I think just by beeing enabled. Battery consumption of the 3g connection is also depending on the modem you have installed.

Will do a little 3g field test tomorrow when I'm at work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Ok maybe 3g is not that battery hungry as I said or maybe it's not while you dont do much data transfer with it.

I left 3g on last night and lost 5% in 8 hours.

Will see how much I loose over the day when actually using 3g and it needs to do some work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brunobanane:
Ok here is my result.

Dropped 30% in 9h so just a little bit less than you.Seems like a almost perfect match. But don't kow if our usage is the same. I added a screen so you can have a look.
