Are you confirming that the features for the camera are tied to sense or are you sepculating?

I have no intentions of going for a custom rom at this point, I just want to freeze sense and a bunch of other bloat. I was able to lag the phone significantly by installing launcher pro, but I think it was fighting sense the whole time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tonyfate:
Does your microSD Card slot work? Mines seem faulty =(
[HTC Amaze 4G] Arcadia310:
Just go into the camera app and see for yourself. All the different modes and the picture editing features are all features of Sense. Install a custom rom and you lose all of that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
My card slot works fine, I installed a 8GB card I have just to get going, formatted using the phone and all is well.

Make sure its not the mem card itself, I have had a couple bad ones here and there
[HTC Amaze 4G] tonyfate:
I tried 3 different ones I have from my G2 and Nexus 1, on those phones, it works fine, on the Amaze, it gives me these errors:

Damaged SD Card

Removed SD card

It won't let me mount or format them through the phone. I formatted them through the computer fine but the phone won't read them. Brought it to the T-Mobile store they said they'll replace the phone.. so hopefully it's just my unit..
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Well the card I used was never used in a previous phone, was in a camera, doubt if that would be any issue at all, should not be one - post an update when you get the replacement
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
I'm familair with them and have used some of them, I just didn't know if they were linked to the actual SENSE app, or if it was built into it's own camera apk.

If they are linked, then I can live without them, but it would be nice to keep if I could. I'll just have to check for msyefl. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] bobbyricha:
I'm happy so far but I may have a concern with the camera while using flash. On most pics I take with the flash, there is haze or a halo effect on the photo. It looks like a fog that is thinner at the center and thickens out near the edge. It seems to be worse when the subject is at close range, and it seems to vary in amount from pic to pic. Photos without the flash are fine.

I see nothing on the lens and there isn't anything around the lens/ led flash area. I'm going to stop into T-Mobile and check the demo unit for the same effect.

Otherwise happy. I really want to root for Titanium Backup though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tonyfate:
Wow! My second Amaze!!! Gotta return it again! First one was the SD card issue, the second one fixed it! Second one... the soft buttons has two spots where the screen would shine through? Like they didn't coat the screen right... So annoying..
[HTC Amaze 4G] superrskillz:
man i have this same problem,

i love the phone but im waiting out for about another week before returning it that way if i get a few scratches, i'll just get a replacement anyways ;)

but this issue is deff. making me aggravated >:O

Finally activated my new simm (lazy, had been using mt4g old simm) and noticed faster speeds.

[HTC Amaze 4G] MangeAirborne:
These T-Mo apps how much space do they really take up? Is it worth all the trouble with "unlocking bootloader" and rooting the phone for a noob like me?

I´m coming from a Desire wich has minimal internal memory to this Amaze with 16Gb (I know i´s not that much irl).

It´s just that I am so annoyed with all these apps I cant even use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jakoberr:
yes this phone is amazing, the onlly thing i dont like about sense is that my wallpapers dont move like all my other phones did, so i cant use all my old wallpapers. Other than that this phone is exactly what i expected it to be
[HTC Amaze 4G] lorddart:
Umm... May want to rephrase that... I use a custom rom that still uses sense as well and has all the camera features so... Custom rom does not equal loss of camera features or sense for that matter... Also I am pretty sure one could have a stripped sense rom and still maintain camera functionality...
[HTC Amaze 4G] jjlean:
I too live it. Probably my favorite. Had g1, mt4g, thunderbolt on Verizon, LG g2x and this. It is really nice and no problems that I notice.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ebatr8:
I really loved my sensation and the amaze is what my sensation never was a phone without flaws. People complain bout the lights bleeding into the screen but I don't have that issue I like my screen looks great. The device feels awesome in my hand and the heft is perfect. The camera is best I ever had front and back. Most people will complain about sense but I like it until ics I dislike stock android its missing some Polish and ease with its features like dialer, contacts, camera, music player etc... Hate that I'm giving up my amaze and selling it hoping the galaxy s 2 is ok but hoping to pick up an amaze later again this really is a great device wish more devs picked it up to see its value and HTC was more friendly to our devs. Thank god for x!

Edit: what I absolutely hate about my amaze!! The fact that it looks and feels so good bare that I never want to use my case but have to so that it can stay looking so good. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
"Long post warning"

I have really really bad battery life since I got Galaxy S2, I tried everything, never get what people claim(20hours+ battery life).

All I have got is something around 10hrs. I already using official Samsung 2000mAH extended battery.

I never liked root and flash rom but this phone made me do it .

yesterday I flashed to LeoMar75 2.7.1 with CF-root kernel (I read this kernel has best idle battery saving)

and hoping miracle will come and now..I still stuck in battery life agony :(

Can you guys help me determine what's wrong with my phone? I see A LOT of fellas report their phone can run for 30+ hours with 3G always on, screen time more than 2hours, internet, whatsapp and games

I basically did the same thing , I don't even do games but mine doesn't get pass 10hrs.

today I flashed the rom and kernel and I fully charged the battery then I have like 2 hours screen time for

whatsapp, engadget, FML and stuffs then sleep for 5 hours.

before I sleep, the battery has 57% left and woke up, 33% left.

I can understand 2hours screen on time drain the battery to 57% but I don't understand why 24% of 5 hours idle?

as you can see, my device woke up while I was sleeping and it's idle.

I give you guys some details

can you guys please tell me, which part of my phone is draining the battery ?

Display setting:

1. brightness : 20%

2. auto adjust display power : uncheck

3. display mode - film

Sync

I disabled Gtalk auto login and signed out Google latitude.

I also unchecked the "Backup my data" in Privacy.

I disabled Fast Dormancy.

and here are my app list.

I already did all the tricks I can find on internet to save battery for my S2 but still the battery life is miserable. I hope you guys can help me with this : (

ps. now I doing battery calibration, I think this is my last resort :(, I really hope my phone can do 20+hours with 3G data always on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaver2233:
yeah well first of all when flashing a new rom, must wait 2-3 cycles before the battery life is maximised....

2nd of all why the need for both friendcaster and facebook ??

If the drain is still bad I would just recommend turning all data off etc...and seeing if the battery life is normal overnight (2-3% loss)...if not then something ain't right

edit; also check your wakelocks (on betterbattery stats app)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
Thanks for your advice man!

do 2-3 cycles will make HUGE difference?

I have 2 facebook account for work and friends, that's why I have both friendcaster and facebook app.

I tried turn off 3G data and Wifi at stock rom(2.3.5) earlier, the drain overnight(8hrs) was within 10% so I pretty sure it's 3G data draining the battery, just don't know which app does it. (I have quite heavy incoming whatsapp msg don't know if that's the case)

sorry I forgot to capture the wakelock screen earlier but now my phone battery is completely dead,

charging it for battery calibration, perhaps I will include it tomorrow. Thanks a lot man
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Try disabling facebooks sync for a day and see how battery life is then. I ran into a serious problem where my battery was drained 50% in a matter of hours with zero usage and once I remembered that I recently updated facebook I uninstalled it and everything worked fine again. I re-installed fb but disabled sync and battery life is still excellent, haven't had the chance to enable sync and monitor the battery though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
Will do : ), I will disable all the sync except my google account after the battery is fully charged, see if that make a difference, Thanks man :)

Turn notifications on for facebook but disable refresh (Set refresh interval to never). You'll get PUSH notifications instead :D.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
are you loggdd into fb chat? If so, that should be it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomnompie:
I suggest Skype.

I had Skype, Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Messenger, and Facebook installed on my phone before. Got around the same batt life as you.

Reinstalled the rom I had and installed apps one at a time. Those 4 progs are the only ones I know of I have NOT reinstalled and my battery life is usually around 20+ hrs with normal usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefroastbeef:
darkinners,

I am in Hong Kong as well, I am wondering where you purchased the 2000mah battery? Online or in HK? If you got it in HK, do you mind sharing with me where?

Thank you! mmm goi!

I hope you get your battery problem fixed!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
I did what you said , let's see how it goes, Thanks man!

how can I know I logged on fb chat and how to disable it ? I don't use fb chat ever, Thanks man

wow! Thanks, I will get rid of Skype and try, I don't use it often : )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
sorry for posting in wrong board, Thanks mod.

I bought it in Mong Kok, I don't know if here allow posting shops name and stuffs, so I am gonna PM you the details : )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
If you've never logged on then your fine. Skype has always drained my battery, but I don't use it much so uninstalled. Facebook was a battery drainer with the refresh times but now that it has push (I get notifications at the exact same time as I do on my web browser) it doesn't drain my battery at all.

Average battery life is anywhere from 20 hours to 1day & 13 hours. Screen on time is always 3 hours & 30 minutes minimum, most I've had is 5 hours & 30 minutes, that was without playing any strenious games though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
only 3 apps :eek:

i have 144 and that's a lot less than what i previously had.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
wow nice tips! so you suggest even I didn't login Skype, I just let the app sit in there, it still drain battery?

I disabled the facebook refresh interval like you said and yeah I still got notification from PUSH, nice tip : )

I now calibrated the battery, fully charged, did all the tips you guys gave me.

turned on the phone for 1.5 hours with 30mins screen time, (LINE, Facebook, Whatsapp only)

the battery drop from 100% to 88%, is that normal ? (I use 2000maH battery)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
with the 2000 mah battery, you should be able to hit 6 - 7hours screen on time. This does depend on your screen brightness however but your drain looks ok based on screen time. Id recommend that you charge the phone to 100% before you sleep, then let it drain overnight so you can check how much battery is drained in idle. With the stock battery, I normally lose around 1% every 4 hours when idle.

As for Skype, it did drain my battery. When I logged out it ran in the background and caused wakelock issues. 3G watchdog also showed that it would use data every 20-30 mins. I'm now using droidwall to block internet for apps that don't need it. For example I won't be downloading wallpapers from the "Flikie Wallpapers" app whilst using mobile data, so I set it to only use internet when I'm on wifi
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jartukovic:
I have the same problem so i'm following this topic very carefully :)

Hope you'll find the solution !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
one thing to remember as well, A LOT of people with 20 hour battery life have hardly touched the phone. Some people can get 3 days worth of battery, but with a screen on time of only 50 minutes its hardly surprising. I'd say anything over 24 hours with a screen on time of 3 hours is very nice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
let the battery drain from 100% to about 50%, while doing this, try your best to minimize usage, then post a screenshot of "partial wakelocks" from betterbatterystats and a screenshot of CPUSpy with the counter reset from the moment you came off the charger together with the Android battery graph and your screen on time and the list of apps that that used battery for this particular cycle, that way we would actually see what is draining the battery, right now everyone in this thread is guessing based on "their" personal experiences and not on "your" facts, we need to see what is keeping the phone awake when it is supposed to be sleeping.

While this "hit or miss" method would reveal some nice tips, the solutions are not perfectly tailored to what's happening with your device, as you may be using an app or several apps that are draining the battery that no one else is using.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henrywcy81:
Glad to see that u are a "高登巴打"

back to the topic, did u wipe the battery stats?

i think it can solve the problem
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
very useful tip man, I will try few days later : )

Hi 高登巴打 lol, I did wipe the battery stats through "battery calibration" app, I think that app will delete the battery stats.bin when you press "calibrate" if I am not mistaken.

I discovered one weird thing today when I install battery monitor widget.

the app indicate my battery is 1650mAH while I am using 2000, I already calibrated the battery with this kernel and rom and charged 3 cycles.

I don't know if this is normal? or somethings wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
OK I did all the tip gathered in this thread by all you good fellas : ) and did a test.

1. disabled all unnecessary sync

2. uninstalled some apps I don't use much

3. 20% brightness 15sec blacklit timeout

usage:

1. 2hours music

2. 1.5 hours apps with internet access (XDA, Engadget, FML, IGN, HKgolden,web suring)

3. 15mins phone

4. some txting, medium to heavy whatsapp, LINE

5. 2.5 hours screen on time

6. first 10 hours uses 3G data(always on), the rest of 5 hours uses WIFI (always on)

the result is this

after all these, the battery down to 8% and it took another 40 mins of internet (WIFI) to make the battery complete dead.

I can't say I am fully satisfy with the result but it's a HUGE improvement to say the least, at least now I am confident to bring just one battery if I am going out.

I wonder people report 20+ hours battery life, are they use WIFI always? I find it hard to believe you can have 20+ hours with always 3G data on and no WIFI.

the 3G data seems the battery eater. for me with WIFI access, battery life became meaningless, if you able to access wifi, it's almost certain you can access the wall socket too.

the battery life with 3G data is what really counts. as you going mobile, you don't have the access of wall socket.

Thank you you all, you guys been a great help : )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar111:
Might i suggest try turning fast dormancy off? It was a HUGE improvement especially when I was using data - atleast an hour. Enter this code - *#9900# - into your dialer and disable fast dormancy. It should make it better. If it makes it worse switch it off
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkinners:
Thanks I actually did that earlier but I am confused if I did it right.

when I press *#9900#

I click on "disable fast dormancy" and the text changed to "enable fast dormancy"

I actually have no idea in the page display "enable fast dormancy" or "disable fast dormancy" is actually disabled fast dormancy lol, it's a little bit confusing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
I deliberately never use wifi and can say I always achieve 20 hours + with 3g data. I like to test my phone to see how much the battery would drain when im out with friends for example and have no access to wifi. This is with the stock battery. Something however is definitely draining that battery. Your phone shouldn't be awake so much when the screen is off. Even with music in the background.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnni0:
-what i suggest is of course turn off 3g and wifi.

-then turn off all of your sync(anything that requires internet/data usage) and have it on push notification. ( it will constantly try to sync when it is impossible to since 3g and wifi is off)

-turn down or turn off the brightness

-turn off touch key light (if you want)

-google maps gps location

if you can change the voltage so you can use less power

get a new battery. if all fails, factory restore it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kar111:
When its succesfully disabled the page should say "enable fast dormany"

Also maybe try the app screen filter' if you use your phone in low light conditions' as the app can enable the brightness to be reduced than what the phone normally would go. Saved my battery especially when im nearly outta juice at nightimes
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronMit:
I didn't have time to read everything.. so my apologies if this is repetition.

I noticed you had whatsapp on sync. You don;t need it on sync. background data on allows push messaging. Sync just keeps checking your phone contacts against whatsapp contacts.

I have sync just turned off.. calender and contact syncing all the time just seems like a waste of data/ power. I have an on/off sync widget that I just flick at night for a 1minute for my calender to sync.

It's good for gmail i imagine.

But I can imagine a 3rd party app on sync would be hugely inefficient
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] euphoria47:
A good 50/50 rule-out is to put it in airplane mode and leave it for 12 hours. If drain continues you know its not network/sync related, and due to software. Some apps are just badly made and cause the phone to drain. Battery should last ages with your radios off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomnompie:
IMO, that seems about right to me with that kind of usage. Seems like the screen is what chews most of the battery life to be honest.. It's always what tops my battery usage list most of the time. Definitely looks a heck of a lot better though! Glad you saw some progress! :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reviad:
I'm having battery issues as well. I bought BetterBattery stats, but I'm unsure on how to read them.

Also, what exactly is a wakelock and why is it so important to improve battery life?

Other than the issue listed below CM7.1 is awesome! Great work devs!

I flashed CM7.1 from 7.1RC the other night.

I had no issues in the RC but with 7.1 I notice that the volume control does not affect the in-call volume. Regardless of the Volume setting, the in-call speech and dial tones are clipping. I've also been told that the listener has a hard time hearing me.

Has anyone else had this issue and/or know a fix for it?

what do you mean about "RADIO"? that is the radio aplication or phone application (to make a call)?

Sorry I am not good in english. I hope you understand what I mean. :)
[Desire HD General] chris.daf:
When I make/answer a call, for the first 10 seconds or so the volume is really loud, and using the volume rocker doesn't do anything. After that the volume then drops to whatever the rocker was set at (which is usually the lowest volume as i've been trying to lower it before) and I can adjust the volume again.

Would this be a radio issue? I am using CM 7.1

i had the same problem

im using the latest stock DHD radio

everytime have to press volume button 1 times then it return back to what i set before

[General Questions and Answers] basse10000:
Hi.

I'm about to flash my first custom ROM and have a few q's before I do it. Im on a SGS2 rooted with the help of Odin and S2root (like superoneklick I guess). I have flashed CWM recovery via Odin and my kernel is called 2.6.35.7 codeworkx@cyanogenmod # 12. My build number is XWKI4.

First question is if its safe to flash CM7 with above root and kernel (I know that its never completely "safe" to flash anything but you know what I mean =).

Second question is if I should flash through ROM manager or CWM recovery.

Third question is concerning market and gapps. How do I do to be sure of having at least market when Im on CM7.

Cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I would definitely flash the ROM through recovery, I dont really trust ROM manager for that. Do a full wipe before flash. As for GAPPs, you can flash that through ROM manager.
