Same here but you should notice the battery rises from 97% up to 100% after a few minutes from unplugging it from the charger...
[Galaxy S II General] HugoASB:
The font seems crispier, it feels faster too. But the battery remains the same... :/
[Galaxy S II General] bernard134:
Totally agree!

This is how most developers or contributors feel if not worse, it has led to an exodus of said contributors and developers away from XDA

Dont loose heart bro...I think the majority of people here appreciate and like what you do and hold u with very high regards.

And, there will always be some stupid minority anywhere u go who will try to undermine your work. But u gotta ignore them.

Happens to all the great personalities...... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
All I said was pls give full info about a link

Thank you, Intratech. It was not my intention to undermine your efforts here. I very much appreciate the effort you put in for uploading all the latest fw, all I said was that pleaaasssseee tag your links with a little more info. Just say whether the fw link you are posting is Original or Modified (even if slightly modded) and whether it's a Wipe or Non Wipe. This would make it much easier for downloaders to make an informed decision by looking at the OP itself, they won't need to go through the subsequent posts if they don't want to. That's all I requested.

Coming back to the XXKI4 itself, I downloaded and flashed an Original, Unmodified version, and so far I find it to be really good. I've used KF3 and Frankenstein XXKI3 before this and I find XXKI4 to be the best so far. Here is a screenshot of the Quadrant Benchmark of XXKI4. This is the best score I have ever got, and I have like a fully loaded phone with 376 apps at present.
[Galaxy S II General] Smartie36:
tempted to go back to ki3, am getting atrocious battery life with this version, lost 20% in 6 hours overnight!
[Galaxy S II General] TheMegastar:
Picture quality is the same as before, which I think was good. Audio quality is also the same as before. You need apps to enhance the audio like before.
[Galaxy S II General] ozzyblack:
Battery drain 3% overnight. best ever root kernel 4.4 cf. Strange on the siyah and speedmod i lose more than 8% ovrrnight. Seems the stock kernel+cf kernels are the best for you battery, not the modify ones. I test the latest siyah and speedmod.

So as soon as it says full charge you unplug and battery falls to 97%?

I must say that I don't unplug as soon as the device says full charge and it's usually unplugged a bit later but it will show 100%.

Same here. I tend to leave it plugged in for about 10 mins after the full charge indicator and it then stays at 100% when unplugged.

Also, did my 1st full charge on XXKI4 yesterday evening and it was still on 100% this morning so a definite improvement on battery for me!
[Galaxy S II General] drelite08:
No such problem for me. Charging is fine!
[Galaxy S II General] ozzyblack:
Only first time charging, this rom have for me the best battery life of all.
[Galaxy S II General] Universeal:
Multi csc OXA receive the worst battery life possible. Just 1d10h. In all of them i think the max battery life i've had is 2d15h. Multi csc OXX has the best battery life. Max i've had 4d10h.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well it happened for me and I can see some other users reporting the same. It never happened for me before. Anyway will see on the second charge how it goes.

You need to Re-read my post about it.

Jeez!

As a reminder, yes I DO HATE SAMSUNG, badly.
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
It's doubtful the CSC has anything to do with the battery drain.

For all those who have big difference in battery drains going from one rom to another, or changing the kernel, it's more likely that something specific has gone wrong than anything else. A couple reboots, maybe flashing again...

Speedmod or Siyah are not going to behave differently just because of being on KI3 instead of KI4.
[Galaxy S II General] Universeal:
I've done every firmware version just OXA then 2 times OXX. On OXX i done same thing as on OXA so it can't be something wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] rikz112:
quick question i have updated mine from Ki3 this morning i cannot find the MOD for the battery % which i had for ki3 for this new firmware? anyone able to help me get this mod back onto the phone? i have search the forum and cannot find a mod for ki4 2.3.5

What would be the point of releasing the test version with the official package being released 2 days after?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] kersey:
There would be no point but I wasn't sure of the source of this release, I was only querying whether it was a leaked test release or not :p

Hey guys i've downloaded the KI4 from samfirmware(sammobile) and CFroot KI4 kernel and i'm planning to flash it thru Odin. Problem is there is no EXT4 or PIT file included. Just this "GT-I9100_XEO_I9100XXKI4_I9100OXAKI4_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5" so i got confused what to do. Is this flashable thru CWM only? I prefer to flash Stock ROMs thru Odin. Hope you guys can help me :(
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:

[Galaxy S II General] pbrown77:
I haven't seen anyone comment on the homescreen reloading sometimes. Am I alone here and looking at a hard reset and wiping my device? I hope not because I will probably just put up with it otherwise.

If I exit an app occasionally I will see my widgets take a brief time to appear and they come up one by one similar to when you first boot up. I only have 2 screens for my home screen so it wouldn't be a memory issue causing it to close. I hadn't noticed this on previous versions.
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
Wipe
[Galaxy S II General] TECK:
Give a chance to battery sensor to calibrate itself. :)

You will see better results in a day or 2.

Got better results with stock KI3 kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] ozzyblack:
Stock kernel score is higher
[Galaxy S II General] NoOneCanHelpMe:
omg that ROM ****ed up my phone storage........... I woke up and phone memory and SD card were unavailable. reflashed KI3 and still the same.....noooooooooooo :S

any ideas what's wrong?

EDIT:

tried with the battery out for 5 min, no go so format phone storage fixed it :X
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
I doubt it's the ROM's fault bro, you seem to be the only one with this issue. Looks like the issue is outside of the device.

This update brings no many new things, and I don't feel it especially faster than KI3.

So what these few APKs were updated (nothing interesting though) :

KiesAir.apk (11.06.08.1 > 2.0.109211)

[Galaxy S II General] markdj57:
Just go this on the phone. Many thanks.

I think my phone is network locked. How do I get it unlocked? would flashing a bootloader do that?

After flashing and rooting I did a factory reset in CWM but it said it couldn't access system/H3G/ which would suggest locked to Three. How do I fix this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] KennyLegend:
My bad for saying wipe earlier. Ive come across this too.
[Galaxy S II General] daz_2000:
I have to say that this is the best rom I have flashed. Its a saturday, so difficult to judge battery life, will do that properly on Monday. But I have gone just over 10 hours and ive still got 53% left, pretty happy with that.

And it does seem very snappy, I noticed that straight away. No issues to report.
[Galaxy S II General] ozzyblack:
Flash siyah kernel 1,8 than you have extreme good battery life on this super rom

Thank you intratech XXKI4 seems to be more stable and battery friendly
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
I am now getting so annoyed with this battery full charge notification bug. For Third time yesterday notification came at 96% ! Never ever had this problem before, started after flashing to KI4, but now even after I flashed back to KI3 the bug is present there also !, which wasn't there at the first place. I've wiped battery stats in Recovery and calibrated with Battery Calibration app, still....

Someone please guide me how to get rid of this.
[Galaxy S II General] ozzyblack:
Sihay kernel 1,8 charge overnight than is your problem solved
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well I don't think it's Kernel causing it, because I am having the issue on Stock kernel, CF kernel and now Ninpho, which I am using for one month. So I don't think flashing to Siyah would do any difference.
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Hey guys, every one knows about the Nexus now. It looks AMAZING. But it's still plastic. What do you think about it? Should I stick with my Sensation or get the Nexus in exchange by November? Both are 1.2Ghz dual core monsters, the Nexus has the A9 processor and 1GB RAM. The best part is the Super Amoled 720p display - 4.65" - Just amazing. What do you say?

Oh and the worst part is the camera. 5 megapixel? What the..? But anyway, the sensor matters more.

What do you say guys?
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
If it was an easy swap, id do it. Im not going to swap though as it would be costly and I dont see the nexus being light years ahead of the sensation either.

The sensation will wind up doing the same stuff as the nexus once it also gets ICS.

If I were out looking for a new phone, Id choose the nexus...

Matt
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Hmm. How much would the Nexus cost? UNLOCKED.
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
No idea, but id plan on at least $599.99. Thats far more than youll get for your Sensation.

I dont see anything groundbreaking that the nexus does over the sensation, ICS aside. No reason to jump ship for this phone. Ill stick with my Sensation and wait for next upgrade's phones, which should be groundbreaking by then. :D

Matt
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Damn! Okay, it's a hard decision to make :)
[HTC Sensation] shadow666:
If I didn't own a Sensation already, I would get the Nexus, Pure Google! I don't regret getting the sensation though.
[HTC Sensation] RellikZephyr:
Loving the nexus, and so very much want the dev support of the nexus, love that everything first thing and how quick it moves because all the devs on it.

But i'm torn, sensation is awesome but slower on devs. I have a hard decision to make very soon. My point being, I can't decide myself, so I can't help you decide lol

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
I'm sticking with my sensation! :)
[HTC Sensation] Vipeout:
The single most pushing reason to make the jump would be the 4.65" 720p AMOLED display (zomg!!! :eek:). U just can't beat that.

The rest... meh. I guess with ICS and proper dualcore support, the Sensation will finally take off speed wise. Or at least I hope it.

If I was you, I'd swap it for the new Galaxy Nexus. You will always have the newest Android distirbutions at your disposal
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Yeaahh! The main reason i WANT to swap is the screen! Damn awesome. But .. :( it will be damn expensive. Plus, I just asked somebody how much they would buy my phone for, they said - 390$ :( that's IT.

So i'll stay with the Sensation..
[HTC Sensation] tigerz0202:
no sd card slot = Fail
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yea...So it boils down to SELLING your Sensation and paying another $300 or so to get a screen with better resolution...For what though?

Just months ago qHD was all the rage. I still dont see whats so special about it???

I doubt a 720p screen will be worth the trouble and extra $$$. Now, if you need to upgrade and can get a deal on the Prime, then hell yea.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Hmmm.. I agree :)
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I will be switching to the Galaxy Nexus as soon as possible. Not because I think it is far superior to the Sensation but for the simple fact that I am on my 3rd Sensation now that is ridden with dust under the screen. It is such a stupid problem to have with such an expensive phone. :mad:

The fact that so many of us have the issue and HTC refuses to admit that it's a known problem has really made me ready to jump ship from HTC without any plan on coming back.
[HTC Sensation] arzbhatia:
Hmm.. My phone also has a manufacturing fault..
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
Yeap, same here. Im on my 2nd and it has the dust issue too. Im waiting for HTC to formally admit it so Tmobile wont charge me to replace it.

Matt
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
I just like the look of the galaxy nexus, sure the 720p resolution screen is going to be nice but I want the galaxy nexus for the additional hardware like nfc and barometer sensor (because I'm a tech junkie like that). I'm alright with having a dual core processor because Android will not be optimized for quad core for a while. Plus android 4.0 ice cream sandwich has hardware acceleration. I am probably going to keep my sensation though, haven't had any problems with my sensation yet.
[HTC Sensation] cozmic1988:
£515 in UK from www.clove.co.uk

Very pricey!
[HTC Sensation] Tone503773:
And that's only for the 16gb.
[HTC Sensation] The Janitor Mop:
Easy answer if you're looking for a new phone right now from an older phone. It would be ridiculous to get a new Sensation right now; it is becoming so outclassed in so many ways. If you already have a new Sensation, it depends on if you think the $ will be worth it. I personally have a good amount of dough saved up and will seriously consider the Nexus Prime because it is an upgrade in every way over the Sensation (the whole 5MP thing is a non-issue because that is not what determines the quality of pictures; also I don't give a crap about plastic construction because living with the Sensation has made me value a phone that is fast and performs well over a phone with an aluminum build).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ziggary:
Happy camper here lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
ICS doesn't look to be as optimized as you make it sound from the hands-on vids that have been posted; it stutters and lags more than the SGS2 does with touchwiz. Still I might buy it, but just because I'm tired of waiting for updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GChaosG:
GPU

Apparently the Galaxy Nexus uses the SGX540, the same GPU as the Galaxy S (one). While the Galaxy S II uses the Mali-400 GPU which seems to be on a higher spec. O.o Wouldn't it be a fairly weak combination since the phone comes with a 720p display paired with a GPU more than a year old?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ronni.rasmussen:
SGX540 is from nov 2007 :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ephraim:
I was expecting more from nexus prime since it's been suggested by alot of people here.. But we won't know till we see the actual device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjtj4444:
Where have you seen any video with lag & stuttering?

And remember, recording a GUI that runs in 60 fps with a 30fps camera and uploading to youtube causes micro-stuttering in the video due to half frame-rate and obviously no v-sync between phone display and camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Croak:
Lets also not forget that 1200x720 resolution. It's pushing a LOT more pixels than the SGS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
"As to overall performance, we saw a good deal of stutter in the Galaxy Nexus before us. Taps were not always recognized and there were occasional delays in performing an instruction, though in Google’s defense, it was a phone fully loaded with running tasks and the software is being continually improved and optimized (i.e. it’s not yet fully baked)."

Via ThisIsMyNext

You can clearly see the stutter and lag in almost all off the videos that have been posted that are longer than 10 seconds. Not saying it's a deal breaker, but ICS at this point doesn't look too optimized.

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

That's no excuse, as the PowerVR SGX 540 at 384mhz should have no problem delivering a smooth UI. It's most likely due to inefficiencies in the code rather than actual hardware shortcomings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ephraim:
After reading comments about Nexus Prime i think my next phone will be galaxy s3 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ram3n:
PowerVR SGX540 GPU .... From 2007 .... The same as Droid bionic or Nexus S.

No more details.

It is actually just worse than our dear Mali 400.

The fact is our S2 remains one of the best and powerful' superphone of 2011 ! :D

When we'll have ICS update, it'll turn into the beast monster ever, and apple killer ! hahahaha

Looks like my sgs2 will b with me for a loooong time! Galaxy nexus looks pointless tbh and was shocked to hear its good a 5mp camera lol :-/. At least a 1.4/1.6 dual core would of been useful and yuup i herd that ICS is laggy and ive seen some vids.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
Yet another reason to stick with the pure google experience.. ;) Would have taken samsung a month to apply that incremental update to their touchwiz devices. Just hope that ICS will bring the responsiveness of Cyanogenmod and smoothness of SGS 2 all in one package. Could care less about the hardware as long as the experience is smooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
Galaxy S II has 384,000 pixels. Nexus Prime has 921,600. So it is powering nearly 3 times the pixels as its little brother. Let's use some common sense before spouting off worthless facts, people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
I think people dont realize Google threw in the towel after the N1.

One "super" phone available on all carriers with or without subsidy. Thats just not going to happen.

I love the look of Nexus S and HW was very good. But it was such a minor upgrade to the Nexus One it was baffling. This one has a 720p screen. Other than that nothing remotely remarkable.

N1 basically double the horsepower , ram , gave us a larger higher res screen , in a well built beautiful package far nicer than anything out at the time. No nexus phone has come close to that leap. They COULD but they wont.

The real pain in the ass is you either get a HD screen with "good" innards and old GPU...or get a specd up phone with a lower quality screen.

Unless theres another HD screen coming out in the next 1-2 months choices will be about sacrifice which is NOT what the Nexus line was intended for.
