[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cdub5:
So I'm new to the sgs2, coming from captivate. I've been reading through this thread as well as others about battery. Please excuse my confusion, but the Android OS being tops on battery usage is a bug, correct. Is this fixable?. I've frozen several known batt drainers, and I'm running serendipity 8.2. Never ran stock, due to my flashing addiction, so I have nothing to compare to.

<edit> forgot to mention this is with the phone in pocket except for about 2 quick calls, and reading one email. Synch with gmail and yahoo on running on data and not wifi. Only second day with serendipity, so I know batt needs some settle in time. I'm mostly curious about the Android OS issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
@Cdub5

The battery stats are based off 100%. If android os was removed, the percentages would be distributed to the rest so everything totaled 100%. Try to think of it as more of a relative percentage.

When android os ranks toward the top it usually means you haven't been using your phone much. Simply the phone being on will rank higher as nothing else, or at least not as much, is getting used.

There are times the processes grouped under android os can get out of hand and be a battery drain. But that's a different issue.

Equalizer app drains battery

Equalizer app by smart android apps is a battery drainer. which really really sucks cause its a great app and makes the music sound a million times better.

it only drains battery when listening to music obviously. i used cpu spy to test this. when playing music with screen off the cpu runs at 500mhz. when i freeze the equalizer app in titanium backup and play music it runs at 200mhz.

this sucks cause this app was great so if anyone knows of an equalizer app that won't suck the battery down let me know please. i dont care for the samsung player i know it has an equalizer. what was so great about this app is it worked with everything ie. pandora google music...

Way ahead of ya buddy...on UnNamed 1.3.1. Getting about 10hrs moderate use...20% drain overnight(~8hrs) untouched from a full charge...look at my previous post for wakelocks and %'s. Something isn't right. I froze Contract killer zombies cause I got notifications from that app a few times as well as the American Eagle(AE) app to see if that helps tonight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Oh, that is pretty messed up.

Three things I'd do.

Go one by one through my apps to see which one might be causing issues.

If that doesn't work

Reflash unnamed from 100% stock.

If that doesn't work

See if your at&t store will let you swap batteries.

You need to reset timers immediately after boot.

56 minutes of sleep time in svnet-dormancy = something is using lots of cell data.

I think it was contract killer zombies or AE app I froze them and over a 2 1/2 hours last night I had 0% drain from a full charge wifi off auto sync off background data on.

I'm going to do another ~8 hour test tonight and post my wake locks tomorrow morning and see if that fixed it

What's weird to me is that I have been using this phone in pretty much the same way I used the cappy, except for the fact that I have far fewer apps on the sgs2. Android OS was always at the bottom of the list on that phone. I realize this is a different phone, just wasn't sure if Android OS being tops is normal for the sgs2?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hydrocharged:
My old Captivate's power button has sadly died and I'm currently working on tweaks to operate my phone (volume rockers wake up the phone and the search button functions as the power button). I'm looking to upgrade to the AT&T SGS II, but there is only ONE thing holding me back - the sound quality. I am an audiophile, and I really like the sound of a Voodoo'd SGS 1. I've read that the 2.3.5 update for the international SGS II has really improved the sound quality. I'm truthfully not interested in the volume levels, as my reshelled TF10s don't need a powerful source to drive. My concern is strictly SQ-related. Is there a way to get the benefits of the 2.3.5 update on the AT&T SGS II? Or is there another way to noticably improve the sound quality?

My current Captivate setup consists of: Voodoo Sound, Galaxy Tuner (for the EQ tweaks, which do not appear to negatively impact the overall SQ), and PowerAmp (strictly for the interface, as the EQ settings result in very, very, very minor sound distortion, though the average user probably wouldn't notice even if they tried, but bothers me to death). Thank you in advance!

I use stereo Bluetooth headset for hours a day (Motorola s305). I am not an audiophile, and never felt my cell phones had poor sound performance. I also had a captivate and was satisfied with the stock sound.

Currently things like voodoo are not on the SGS II. They weren't on the captivate right away, it was several months. I think you just need a little patience, we'll get those kinds of tweaks in due time. I am not a patient person, so I feel your pain.

I read in another post that CM7 audio is handled differently especially over Bluetooth. Supposed to be a lot better. That may be an interim solution until we get some tweaks. I have never tried CM7, never saw the appeal, whenever I look at it, its hard for me to get past the things that don't work yet. Does the captivate have a fully functional CM7 yet? When I left a month ago it was still a RC.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hydrocharged:
You're using Bluetooth audio, and thus, what you encounter and what I'll encounter will be different considering I'm using IEMs with a 3.5mm plug. And I know that Supercurio, the man responsible for Voodoo on the SGS1, will not do such a thing for the SGS2. Thank you for your input though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fooldog01:
I'm not quite an audiophile but the GS2 leaves a lot to be desired in the audio quality department. I was almost shocked at how muffled it was. I did some tweaking in the settings and I would call it passable now. Hopefully the impending 2.3.5 update will improve the ATT version too. Personally, it's not bad enough to make me want to get another phone or anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hydrocharged:
I see. Muffling is really the only negative you can point out in the sound quality?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIneffable:
A while back I rooted my G1 which was running 1.6 and I successfully rooted and installed cyanogenmod. I wasn't impressed with the battery life so I decided to switch roms. I did something wrong and my phone pretty much reverted back to unrooted Android stock 1.0. That was a while back and I have been pretty much hanging with it since. I could do generic things such as send and receive calls, send text messages, play music off sd, etc., but I'm tempted to find a way to root my phone again and with a diff rom. Is there a way to do this with android version 1.0? Can I also do this without a data plan and just wifi?

Here are the specs for my G1 if anything:

Firmware Version: 1.0

Baseband Version: 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29

Kernel Version: 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android-build@apa27 #6

Build number: kila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247 ota-rel-keys, release keys
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIneffable:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt.pope.universal:
Before this is closed, try out the Froyo for Trout rom. Its stable, and faster than CM. Really recommend this.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeenAndroidized:
Anything will be better off than CM (that from my experieces) But the new CM (XDA Mod) is promissing.

@ TheIneffable - I would suggest (if you still wants to use CM) to look at [ROM] NameLessFroyo (CyanogenMod variant) by NLJ or [ROM][2.3.7 GB][18.10.11] BananaBread v1.2 DS +cMTD(Based on CM 7.1) by banana4444.

But if you would like to try other ROM, I suggest [Rom][2.2.2 AOSP] DREAMteam Froyo v1.9 "I'm hungry...." by DreamTeam (AKA:Green ROM Projects) or FroyoMelt (see my sig for link) also by DreamTeam (with Customization by ldrifta).

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
So, got this weird glitch. I'll have say 30% of my battery left and I'll power cycle and suddenly I'll have something like 4% left. And power cycling doesn't help or anything. And plugging it in just charges it from that 4%. Anybody got anything?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
Just thought about this. I should probably let you know I'm on the latest official stock.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] aznacid:
Im runnings the official Roger's GB ROM on my Infuse ATM and I've had similar issues. Mine goes a bit deeper though.

When I first got the phone, it wouldn't charge to 100%, whether it be on or off. When the phone finally charged to 100%, the second you unplug it, the battery widget I had and the built in battery meter on the phone said it was at 80%.

While using the battery, it would drain, sometimes suddenly dropping from 40% to 10%. The only way to get the phone to charge to 100% while its off is to charge it for about 8 hours or overnight. Even then, upon bootup, the phone read anywhere between 80%-85%

This is the OEM battery. Im going to try my luck with a battery off eBay that claims to be "OEM", but so far charging for 7 hours straight with the phone off, it wasn't able to reach 100%.

So im hoping it's not the phone itself. Ive charged the phone with various charges, usb cords, and used juice plotter to keep track of things. Definitely something fishy going on because my graphs always show a sudden jump from 85% to 100% in a span of less than a minute =\
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
I don't think it's b/c of the rom your on, happened to me when my phone was stock. I tried to let it die, but once it hit zero percent, it just kept going till the "true" battery percent was drained. Im on S7 now and it still happens occasionally..

How do I get around the Tmo tethering block without paying? Was doing it off and on until today. Just courious about it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Are you rooted?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Yes
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZeroT| Demented:
I can tether without any specian program I have the unlimited 2gb plan
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
I have the unlimited 5g. Never had them tell me I can't tether until now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
If your rooted you can wireless hotspot/tether for free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
I am rooted...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
ok... well all custom roms have wireless hotspot baked into them which allows up to 5 devices to access your 3g/4g data connection. Best thing about the hotspot feature is that it won't use up your data plan since your rooted and it's usually a paid service you have to buy when your not rooted. However if your just tethering by a usb cable you would be throttled after your 2gb limit.

Have you enabled wireless hotspot in setting's before it will work as long as you have an active data plan.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Oh, the wireless hotspot won't use up my 5GB limit?? Wow I didn't know that. I thought both USB tether and wireless hotspot uses your monthly 5GB limit.

That's good to know!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Yep, only the built-in tethering feature uses up your 2-5gb data plan, i read about the wireless hotspot not eating up any data while in use somewhere. I'm gonna try and find a link real quick for my source since i know it will come up sooner then later lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wgrant:
I would like that confirmed, if accurate I will be using that all the time.

Same here... I reached my 5GB cap. I went from 8mb's down to 50kb's... Lmao.

Powered by a G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
I haven't reached my 5g cap yet. It stopped me when I hit 4g of data. I'm still fast but just no tethering is being allowed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
You could use an app called easy tether that has a one time fee of $10 if not your stuck with limited free version. This tricks the ADB interface so it doesn't show up as tethered so it will only show up as regular data from your phone not a PC.

Also if your using tmo network there is no way around their tracking and throttling of speed. A while back we could get around data throttling but i believe they caught on. If you running into hitting your cap use 3g watchdog and give yourself a daily limit and the app will alert you that you hit it

Remember when your on a pc it doesn't know your on a mobile network so keep youtube quality at its lowest. If your watching youtube at 720p you will hit your cap easily.

If your using netflix you will hit tour 5g cap in about 3movies at 720p.

Now the trick is is getting wireless tethering to work lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Ok, ill try the easy tether. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Easytether doesn't work either. It connects but the tmo thing pops up instead telling me I can't without paying $14.95.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chnky18:
im not going to say youre wrong but i highly doubt that...all the wireless hotspot does is let you tether without paying for the tethering feature...it still uses your data....back when i was with sprint and had the evo, this was useful because data was unlimited and i got around paying the $30 monthly fee for tethering on sprint.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
Ok..got some news. Tmo lets you tether 200 mbs for free. So the rep says.. I told him he was wrong. So he told me the day mine was stopped. I didn't know what to say. He said my billing cycle starts over tonight at midnight and I will be able to tether again. I wouldn't have believed him if he hadn't knew the day they stopped mine. Ill see at midnight...

Will post if I don't fall asleep first...lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
I apologize as I do think my statement is incorrect.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
It didn't reset as I was told. So there must be something tmo sent to my simcard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Haha, I tested your theory. And now I'm throttled. Went from 8mb down to 50kb's down.

Lol I seriously thought TMO's throttle would bring me down to like 800kb's down, but damn 50 sucks. Oh well, gotta wait till Monday!
