[myTouch 4G General] cmstlist:
Update: I took a full Titanium Backup and a full nandroid backup, and then tried flashing back via PD15IMG.zip to the original Mobilicity HTC Sense ROM.

Once Fast Boot is disabled (as that results in a "fake shutdown"), if I power off the phone... one, two, three, four, five, and it comes back on. So this doesn't seem to be related to the ROM after all. Something has gone weird with the phone that prevents a full hardware shutdown.

Fortunately this is the only hardware problem I'm experiencing. So now I'll have to think about whether to bring this in for warranty. Restoring the Nandroid to CM for now...

EDIT: Well this is interesting. After restoring the nandroid backup, I selected power off in CWM and it powered off... and stayed off! Puzzling.

Booting back into CM7.1, and powering off one more time. Drumroll... and it stays off!

Well... I guess I... fixed it? *shakes head*
[myTouch 4G General] kimbernator:
I had the same issue with an earlier nightly of CM7. In fact, it was probably multiple builds.

I think clearing cache/dalvik cache probably would fix it. I had a confusing moment where suddenly it stayed off as well, hasn't bothered me since.

I was running phoenix and started getting f/cs (like i was on hawk) so I decided to go back to stock and ran odin and applied stockdeoEC05.tar.md5/victory_8G_100528.pit and all was good until I put cwm3.1.0.1.tar.md5 on with odin. Now I'm stuck in recovery and when I reboot system the screen just shows the samsung screen and then goes right back to recovery.

I tried to install srf-1.2 and i get E:Can't open /cashe/recovery/log

Any ideas?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Something didn't flash right. Odin in the EC05plus ROM. It is prerooted with 3.1.0.1.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
Do you have a link?

05pro? Do you have a link? The links I have found were all dead. I've been having f/cs with every ROM I try. Is there any stable ROMs w/o crap apps... Things seem to be fine for a few days and then I get f/cs and nothing becomes available.

I have recovery v3.1.0.1 running but nothing will flash... still stuck in recovery but not getting any e: messages. I put Genocide2.0_superuser on card and it seemed to flash okay.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ugothakd:
You probably had re-partition checked with cwm. Re partition with the rom flash, then REMEMBER TO UNCHECK RE-PARTITION and flash cwm
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartbeatz:
That did it... what ROMs do you suggest that are the most stable? I really do not care if it's Froyo or GB. I just want stable at this point. I'm back to stock till further...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Hello,

I've had my GS II for about a week, and the battery life has been pretty stellar, except for days where I work at the office. For some reason, there, the battery drains at about 2x the rate than in other areas. A very similar thing happened with my Captivate, but the battery lasts longer with the GS II.

However, today, at around 1PM, my phone started heating up so that it was hot to the touch, and the battery drained 60% in about 1.5 hours. Something went terribly wrong. And even plugged in, it was draining faster than it could charge!

How can I find out what happened? I don't want this to happen again.

The only thing I did was listen to a podcast with BeyondPod, but I do that every day at work over lunch. So, nothing new in my utilization.

Any ideas appreciated!

Thanks,

Jon

(AT&T SG II, stock, unrooted)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaxf250:
May be the GPS - same experience here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Thanks, but GPS was not on. Neither was WiFi. Just Bluetooth. It's the same settings I have every day at work, because Tasker sets my settings automatically based on cell tower location.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
What's your android OS utilization look like in battery stats? Could be the mysterious bug on Samsung devices...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
If you mean the bars beneath the battery chart, the signal bar was 100% green from left to right. Is that what you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
No, the screen before that...it will say display, android OS, android system, cell standby, etc.. what percent does it say for android OS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ZeroRilix:
Edit: Just noticed he responded just before me. Lol. You can ignore my post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karth500:
I had a similar experience today. I was talking on the phone when the top of the phone got really hot. Like it hurt my ear to hold the phone against it. And then the phone rebooted. Since then it's been running phone. Need to figure out what caused it though. Might be a similar issue. But my battery life has been pretty good though. Can easily make it through a day with moderate to heavy use.

I am running CM 7.1. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. But even if it did, there is no way I am going back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Was there anything else in your battery usage stats?

What about wakelocks in BetterBatteryStats?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ljwnow:
Same here. My battery just drained to death. And "Android OS" was taken care 80% of my battery. What the hell...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naplesbill:
Had the same thing happen to me yesterday. I am stock rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Unfortunately, AOS often falsely reports high. Sometimes high AOS usage is fine, sometimes it's not.

I've gotten some of my best battery life with AOS at 60%.

Can't tell what happened to you without some statistics.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Yeah, this sounds very similar to what happened to me, but with stock ROM.

Two follow-on questions:

1. If it's ROM-independent, then could it be something in the hardware that's short-circuiting? Like... the cellular chipset, or perhaps the modem firmware?

2. Can you explain what about CM 7.1 is so superior to the stock rom, which I'm finding pretty fantastic at the moment?

Thanks,

Jon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Unfortunately, I don't think I can go back in history, can I? It's a new day, with a new charge... and I'm imagining that the battery meters reflect today's activity, not yesterday's disaster...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
Sh1t happens. That's the way it was with multiple Windows Mobile phones I had in the past and it is obviously the way it is with multiple Android phones I have now. Usually a quick reboot of the phone will resolve the problem. As long as it didn't happen again persisitently, you are fine.

The cause is somewhere some app or service was stuck in a bad place that uses a lot of CPU or data or both. This will cause phone heats up and battery darin faster. Unless you have full dev environment and logging on the phone, it is virtually impossible to track it down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] JonDeutsch:
Yeah, but does this kind of thing happen to iPhones and WinPho phones? Just curious. I am trying to convince friends & family that with the GS II, Android has finally reached parity with iOS. Perhaps not quite yet... ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i never had battery drain but once in a while I do notice my phone gets hot on the back cover in between the SGS logo and the camera while I'm using it. If I put it down for a bit, it cools off. I figured it was just hot from use and I never thought anything more of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foxbat121:
What make you think GS2 is any better than other Android phones in this regard? Anyone can make a mistake or two in programming and it is impossible to write bug free code.

Remember, latest Android Gingerbread OS is 2.3.7 and we are at 2.3.4. There are a lot of bug fixes (and new bugs) in each incremental release from Google alone. On top of that you have Samsung's customization code and various apps you installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kletiz:
You still need to convince them, trust me. :)

Anyways..here is what I was getting at last night.

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/android-os-what-is-it/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naplesbill:
It does happen to iPhones for sure. We switched from blackberry devices to the iPhone, at work, three months ago. We had five different devices experience similar heat and battery issues. The cause is typically from apps or services that sync with online data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] onsomethinguk:
Solved

Hi All -

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but I think I have solved this problem once and for all. I can't take all the credit as its a combination of lots of theories, a bit of my own, all bundled together with a little bow.

The problem stems from the media scanner and mp3s. "But I don't have any music files on my phone!", I hear you say. Well, of course you do. Every app has sound, doesn't it? And sometimes they're duff. And unfortunately, when that happens, the media scanner goes beserk, repeatedly trying and failing to scan the file until the battery is dead.

So - how to fix it?

1. Connect your phone to your PC in USB mode.

2. Download this: checkmate.gissen.nl (Checkmate MP3 Scanner - it's free)

3. Scan the SD cards - both

4. Remove any mp3s marked as having errors.

5. Disconnect

6. Go to your Settings -> Application Manager -> All -> Media Storage

7. Clear Data

8. Reboot

You should find your phone is a lot more responsive and the battery life gets massively, massively better.

In my case, the dodgy mp3s were ones generated by the "Pocket Announcer" app. For some reason, the "save sentence" feature was producing errored mp3 files.

Hope that helps!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arlik:
Hi,

I have an issue with listening music with my Nokia BH-214 after using CM7.1.0 RC1,

is that it will stop the music after the screen turn off for a while

(I don't know it is really stopped or it just a laggy, but it can keep "stopped" over a minute, so I don't think it is a laggy.)

and resume immediately after I turned on the screen.

I am using PowerAMP as the player

and I have set the cpu down to 200/500 when screen off by SetCPU.

But these settings were here when I still using the stock firmware, and it works well.

So I guess if there are some settings of CM7 (battery saving?) I have to change?

Please help and thanks all!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] compuw22c:
Its a known issue with cm7 when used with STREAMING (read data) music being transmitted over bluetooth a2dp and the screen off. In other words:

Streaming pandora OR downloading a file in the background + bluetooth audio + screen off = stopping problems

Playing local MP3s and NOT downloading any data in the background (push is fine, but no streaming or file downloading) + bluetooth audio + screen off = just fine
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arlik:
Thanks for reply

So, is that mean

background D/L or streaming = OK

Bluetooth audio = OK

background D/L or streaming + screen off = OK

bluetooth audio + screen off = OK

background D/L or streaming + Bluetooth audio + screen off = Error

is that right ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rsg_1:
I want to remove the crap bloatware that TMO installed on this device. I know I can't delete it using the application manager, but it seems I can move it to an SD card perhaps?

Do I need to be root or super-user to delete the files or will I just have to wait until there are ROMs available?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] talltexan:
yes youll need to wait for root before we can remove the bloat ware.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] id0l:
So I was not able to get any connection via 3g. 1x and 4g worked perfectly fine. After several calls to a Verizon rep and going down to the Verizon store they told me to wait for the update which was coming in November or get a replacement device. The Verizon rep at the store told me to download one of the leaked updates and install it which I did and it still didn't fix my problem. So I finally gave up and called Verizon and got them to send me a replacement device. I'm sitting in class today and I download this app called Any Cut and create an APN shortcut and place it on my homescreen. I clicked the shortcut then clicked the menu and clicked reset to default then I changed it from Verizon Internet to another one then back to Verizon internet and my 3g magically came back on. Long story short Verizon reps blow and I fixed it myself. I hope this helps anyone else that was having the same problem as me.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Joelski144:
Got mine today. Looks nice, comes with AC and USB cable. The View fits nicely into the cradle and dock mode kicks on automatically as advertised. My only ding for this unit is you can't sync and charge at the same time.:mad: Well, it charges off USB, but not the same as with AC power direct into the unit; it's much slower to pick up a full charge regardless of whether the USB cable is plugged directly into a computer or powered hub.

Overall a nice accessory that gets the View off it's back and frees up a little space on the desk or end table. 4 thumbsups :D

Edit: HTC needs to have the sh!t slapped out of them for using that stupid proprietary plug and socket design on this device. They munged up an otherwise totally awesome tab!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jlczl:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Blu3Fr0g:
The That Amost Dock Rocks!

I have the dock, I just hate having to take the unit out of its case all the time and then put it back in when I take it out of the dock. The proprietary connector does suck and sucks even more because you cannot get the cables from anywhere. They should have put two connectors on the dock, one for syncing and one for charging like they did for the dock that came with the 6700.
