Do you know the name of the app? I used to do that at night with my nexus one with renderFX built into cyanogenmod, and have been really missing that on my GS2. If you can point me up an app to do that, I would appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryosx:
I think chainfire 3d can do something like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mbze430:
it is still there on the CM7.1

CyanogenMod Settings -> Interface -> Render Effects

The widget is also there as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jetarpon:
I'm not running CM on my GS2. Maybe at some point in the future I will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ferrocene:
Aww yeah...

Note that I didn't start at 100, but at 90%. And I have default sync, facebook widget, live wallpaper, and I was showing my grandpa the phone, so I did pictures, a movie, and navigation/street view.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I've determined that having GPS enabled has no affect on battery life unless an app is actually using the GPS, so I'm leaving that enabled.

***I have removed information from this post as I have found out through my own research that it is inaccurate.****

These settings have resulted in very good battery life for me with minimal annoyance of enabling and disable flight mode and GPS all the time. Also, gaming seems to just anihilate battery so I try to avoid that all together as well.

Next I'm going to do some more experimenting with Latitude. I am aware that latitude drains battery, yes. How MUCH though is the question. I believe people may be over exaggerating about the impact it has on battery.

*EDIT*

2 seconds after posting this I sent a text message and set my phone down where I always do next to my work phone. The phone was sending that text over 3g! I have mobile network disabled in the options! We all know that 3g kills battery very fast. Its disappointing I can't force my phone to use 2g only for texting.

You know you can screenshot natively? Try holding the home button and hit your power button for a screenshot. Uninstall that garbage screenshot utility now!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pukemon:
Set your phone to 2g. It will send over that.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
If I'm not mistaken there is no way to force 2g on this phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Here are my 50% results with the following used all day:

GPS on

Cell service active

Cell data network off

Latitude disabled

No games

You can see the times as well for comparison to my other 50% day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
So here are my results for Latitude. I tested this over an hour period time with my phone sitting in the exact same location for the exact same amount of time. The only difference is that Latitude was disabled for the first hour and enabled for the second.

Without latitude

73% @ 11:45am

71% @ 12:53pm

Net loss over 1 hours time = 2%

With latitude

71% @ 12:53pm

67% @ 2:01pm

Net loss over 1 hours time = 4%

Total loss of idling WIHTOUT Latitude over 12 hour day = 24%

Total loss of idling WITH Latitude over 12 hour day = 48%!!!

I have found in the past that my phone idles away 2% an hour. I have heard of others idling away only 1% an hour but mine has always been 2%. Maybe its my widgets, maybe its my phone, who knows? I am happy with these results and consider them rock solid.

Take it for what its worth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbj13:
How do you know if latitude is running. I don't see it in memory usage or TiB?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I just go to maps and click menu, at the bottom it will say 'join latitude' if your aren't logged in or 'latitude' if you are.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
I know there is a thread that has all ROMS. My question is a bit different.

I have a I9020A that is rooted with a custom ROM on it. I want to go back to stock.

Yes, I could simply reference the mentioned thread and download a full factory ROM for the Nexus S I9020A, but I am looking for the identical ROM that AT&T ships on their Nexus S (not a generic one for the I9020A that's compatible in Canada, etc).

Anyone know where I can get this from?

Thanks.

bdpyo, this post is the AT&T ROM?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17998683&postcount=8

I'm thinking not since the poster has a Canadian flag avatar.

I am looking for the exact ROM that's on the AT&T Nexus S one would purchase from Best Buy in the US, not the international "universal" ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdpyo:
I'm pretty sure that is it and the one that I used and I think that the OP had a "US" version of our phone and that's why he had and posted it.

---------- Post added at 11:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Thats the one I used and it worked fine, you could always PM that guy and ask specific questions.

I didn't have any problems and I wiped everything like you normally would when flashing a new ROM.

Is anyone else having an issue where the Motoblur Facebook functionality doesn't actually work? It won't import/match up contacts at all and doesn't even show any information under the social networking app. It will, after a few hours, notify me on unread messages, but that's it.

If you are having this issue, has anyone found a fix for it?

Running official Gingerbread.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freshbakd:
Had the same prob with darkside rom till I flashed the blur fix since your saying your using stock I don't understand
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bangbang023:
It confuses me, too. Yesterday, on one attempt, it actually added 9 Facebook contacts before stopping. Every other attempt has resulted in complete failure. Oddly enough, I can still post statuses to Facebook with the Social Networking app when the account is added, so it's definitely working to some degree.
[Galaxy S II General] netwr:
I will be buying the Asia version GSII. I know there is a code that you can type in (something starting with the # and ending with #) to check and also see what 3G bands that the phone has enabled or disabled.

Can someone tell me what the code is? I know certain region GSII has the 850 3G disabled as this band is not used in Asia. I want to be certain that the phone has the frequency for 850 (at least it can be enabled) before buying.

If you know the code, please let me know where to enter it.

This is for using with AT&T's 850 3G Band.
[Galaxy S II General] Geumbou:
Asia version? International version?

*#301279#

*#*#4636#*#*
[Galaxy S II General] netwr:
So *#301279# is for Asia Version? Can you tell me where to enter this code in order to check?
[Galaxy S II General] hansonator:
Enter it in the dialer.

Also, you may have to flash a different modem to be able to enable 850 band. Likely one from the Bell Canada version.
[Galaxy S II General] netwr:
If the phone has the 850 band, when I enter *#301279# in the dialer it will list the 850 under WCDMA band like this?

= WCDMA BAND =

[1] WCDMA ALL []

[2] WCDMA 2100(FDD I) [*]

[3] WCDMA 1900(FDD II) [*]

[4] WCDMA 900(FDD VIII) [*]

[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V) []

And I just need to tap on the 850 to enable?
[Galaxy S II General] Geumbou:
For that one you might need the code

*#*#197328640#*#*

Select band, then WCDMA

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jnp1974:
Even if car mode is off, and "driving mode" is still on in Voice Talk, you will still hear the Siri-esque voice. You have to disable "Driving Mode" from within "Voice Talk" to get her to shut up.

BTW, you can change what she greets you with when you say "Hi Galaxy" in the program settings. Mine says, "What the hell do you want now, John"

[HTC Amaze 4G] Cayniarb:
I got the 1.9.0004 Hboot on the Amaze to the guys with Revolutionary and hopefully they can find some exploit wizardry to save us all from the dreaded HTC unlock.

In the meantime, I can confirm that their ZergRush exploit works on the Amaze 4G with software version 1.36.531.5 (untested on any others, but probably still fine). Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1296916

The exploit provides temporary root only and any root-level changes will not survive a reboot. This means you can use ZergRush, then push the su app and binary via adb and then use root apps and delete bloat, etc but on reboot it will all go back to the way it was before (the nand partition is not unlocked with this).

That's so weird. If you remove the system .apks via uninstall.. how would they magically restore themselves?

Either change permissions of the file, or see if a file manager will let you change the folder to R/W. Since i do not have my Amaze yet (in the mail), I cannot go to the folder to see if you can do the latter without root.

Hello, I got a warranty replacement atrix. Unlocked it using the step by step, flashed cwm, and flashed nottachtrix first. I then realized that my phone would restart itself at different times and I kept wiping to see if maybe that was it but nothing. So I moved on to about 3 different Roms and finally I'm running 2.3.6 stock deodexed and rooted and the same thing keeps happening. Should I relock and ask for a replacement?

You need to delete them with a file manager that has root access. The phone must be rooted and then you can use the file manager as root user to delete them.

I was having the same issue.

Delete those files with root access and then flash over CWM again and it should work fine.
