Dear Chaelli, can you please tell me what exactly have you done after step 8? you made cache clean and a recovery of an old backup? and what if I don't have an old backup? please tell me all the steps step by step, I really need my phone working as soon as possible... :(

Thank you!
[HTC Desire S] Adidas108:
if u dont have backup try wipe data/cache (factory reset)

wiping didn't help me.. but I thought there are roms that you can put as ZIP on your SD-Card and than install from recovery?

Dear Testerics, I want to mention that before the upgrade my ROM was unrooted, I was just S-off with official ROM. Can you please tell me how to install Hyperion 2.0, can I find it as ZIP and upgrade from sd with recovery or how have you done it? (multumesc mult :), daca nu e deranj poti sa-mi trimiti un pm in romana putin mai detaliat, sunt disperat :confused:).

Thank you !
[HTC Desire S] sebysebu:
problem solved, Hyperion 2.0 installed, after that run RUU 1.28.401.1 and all the ota upgrades until the last one with Sense 3.0. Again the same problem stuck on HTC logo white screen for the second time. What is happening ?!
[HTC Desire S] Terry1973:
Can anyone give me a hand here...

Try to update, but as most it hangs on the white screen with green HTC logo.

After removing the battery, it boots again on the old stock software (v2.1).

Ofcourse i would like to update to v2.3 with the new sense 3.0, so how can i get it to work?

i am S-off (used AlphaRev) but UNrooted.

my Hboot is version 6.98.1002

Any help is highly appreciated!!
[HTC Desire S] sebysebu:
changing to hboot 0.98.2002 helped for me. good luck :)
[HTC Desire S] Terry1973:
Thanks for the fast reply, but how exactly should i do that??

sorry for answering so late, to change the hboot I used jorgen2009's way from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1187231 , good luck.

Since rooting my SGS2 last night and freezing some bloat with Titanium Backup I've noticed a few dropped calls. I have a really great 4G signal where this is happening and have never had a problem with this phone or any other T-Mobile phone dropping calls here before.

I have no idea if this is really due to rooting and removing bloat or if it's just a coincidence.

Has anyone else noticed a similar problem?

Man, that list looks pretty safe to me. But I've only had the Nexus One and Nexus S before. This is my first rooted branded phone bloated phone.

I've removed or frozen about half what you have and had no problems. I'm hoping some will (or already has) post a comprehensive list of what can be safely removed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] darkness122:
dumb Q, but what's the difference between freezing and totally removing an app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] asatnik11:
Freezing an app disables it and makes it disappear from your app drawer; it remains on your phone's storage. Removing an app removes it completely and frees up storage.

I chose to freeze these apps since I wasn't sure the consequences of deleting them quite yet and recovery could be troublesome until someone releases a good CWM or ODIN system image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
I too felt the same way and froze all bloatware. Phone has more than enough storage to keep them there.

My phone dropped a call today while I was outside in my car with 4 bars. Actually the call went in/out, got silent for 10 seconds then dropped.

This is my first Samsung Galaxy S2 phone & I love it. Not sure if they all drop calls in this fashion or if I happen to have a bad phone but its annoying.

History:

-Rooted with Odin on Sunday night...prior to I had no issue of dropped calls

-Unrooted with stock recovery last night

Still dropping calls. Do you guys think I should take my phone back to the store or try to fix it another way? I'm still within my 14 days. I have one from 9/28 with a perfect screen and no other problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
Rooting your phone in itself should have zero effect on your call settings or dropping calls. Sounds like you need to unroot and swap it out the unit for a new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AllGamer:
+1

correct technically rooting removing apps would not affect the call quality

it is either a defective unit, or a bad reception issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
T-Mobile Name ID

All the calling related issues everyone his having here are more than likely related to not having T-Mobile Name ID on your device. I'm not sure why but this applications causes dropped calls, freezing and force closing when trying to answer multiple calls if it is not installed on the device. It cannot be frozen nor can it be uninstalled or you will have calling issues. I have tested all the bloatware apps and T-Mobile Name ID is the only one that causes these strange issues with the Galaxy S II.

Breaking news: Just heard my wife's sister was in the post office today and she was sitting next to a women who had been in the local library, and she'd overheard the greengrocer telling the butcher that he'd seen a documentary on Discovery where Winston Churchill recounted a tale of a story he'd heard about a time-travelling clam who'd spilled under interrogation that it is indeed possible.

4) does the back cover have no logo's?

[Motorola Droid 3] lordgodgeneral:
do you have a link to the site? or a brand at least?
[Motorola Droid 3] leobg:
These usually advertise full capacity and in the fine print they say battery charges up to 80% or so of capacity. Essentially 3600mAh advertised is to be read 2800mAh. So don't expect 2x battery life. And this, given you get a reputable battery not "original" brand for example often seen on ebay for about that price. You'll have to be fine phone looking like a brick too.

Be ready phone not to read the battery properly too. Anything beyond the BF6X will wack the battery gauge.

Nevermind :Dhahaha

Does the official 19xx mAh battery also make the droid 3 thicker?
[Motorola Droid 3] Lyxdeslic:
Yea, definitely go with the 1960 (or is it 1980? Can't remember, but I have it in my phone). It's literally about 0.5mm thicker, and so it comes with a custom battery cover. If you snap on the standard battery cover, it just barely fits (very tight squeeze), but I'd recommend using the case that comes with it (it's literally impossible notice a difference in thickness). The only reason it's slightly bigger even though the battery is barely bigger than the stock one is because the extended battery tends to expand a bit more when hot, so you need just a tiny bit more room.

I get about 30% extra life with the extended 1960 battery in comparison to the stock one.

Hope this helps.
[Motorola Droid 3] dabeastlyazn:
I've bought the 3500 mah battery from ebay. Only ten dollars when I bought it. Battery life will last a bit more than seven hours with the following running (using Steel Droid 3.0 by the way):

Music (playing One Mic by Nas on repeat 320 kbps mp3)

Angry Birds (just sitting on the first level zoomed out as far as possible)

Max Brightness

Maps and navigation (directions to Walmart by foot)

Used battery graph to monitor until battery died

As the person said above me though, the battery reports incorrectly

After the battery meter stayed at one percent after the fifth hour

I know I don't have to worry about my battery life anymore though

Phone hasn't died on me since I've done the above benchmark

[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Guys,

Here is, I do think, an interesting topic about the famous eternal question :

"Please, tell me how to calibrate my f*** battery?!".

To begin with, here are some (fresh) news :

You have to know that our dear brand-new device uses new specific MAX17042 drivers which actually don't allow us to normally "calibrate" the battery as many of us could have imagined.

I quote Entropy512 :

I mean here that using such applications like Battery Calibration (or anything else), or manually delete Batterystats.bin in data/system folder, or even wipe batterystats in recovery, all theses methods are actually .... useless and a waste!

In fact, the only effect you will notice by doing (deleting) it, is that you'll reset your usage stats in the Android battery usage screen. Nothing else, sorry.

The only current way I've found up to now, is to force the internal chip to do it and therefore reset the fuel-gauge.

Here is a very simple method. Keep in mind that's not the only way :

BTW, no root needed here

After that, you can make some cycle of fully charge/discharge to ~15/20% TO complete the method :D

I am pleased to share my experience about it.

Hope it could help most of people,

Cheers :D:D
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:
Hello ! :)

Why exactly must we wait 90 seconds ? can you explain this step please ?

[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:

I mean that just be sure to take the time needed to ensure that the chip is no longer powered. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:

[Galaxy S II General] fasst:
I did excatly what you wrote, 100%, pull out cable, pull out batterry, wait min. 90 sec.

But when I turn the phone on the battery shows only 96%?
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
Are you sure that you have fully charged before unplugging ?

Anyway, If you had well done, just use normally your phone to notice if battery drain is correct, and do a cycle of charge and discharge.

BTW, after doing this method, my battery shows 100%, so I'm sure your battery wasn't 100% fully charged :D
[Galaxy S II General] fasst:
Yes I'm sure I got the 100% pling the first time.

Charged from 96 to 100 again and did the procedure again and got 100%.

Btw.

If someone knows the max. (fully charged) capacity of the Samsung original 2000mAh pack in mv (4192mV ?) and min. when the phone turne itself off (2800mV ?) I would like to know.

The values will probably be different from packs to packs but approx. values is ok.
[Galaxy S II General] AndroidGX:
About the 96% battery charge it's a known Galaxy SII problem, which has never been solved.

Sometimes you charge to 100%, and sometimes 96% (hiden right after a 100% charge).

You must live actually with this if you want to continue the adventure with your SGSII :D
[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
I am using "old" official 1650 mAh battery, and max capacity is 4202 mV for me :D

So, I think you can consider it's about 4200 mV.
[Galaxy S II General] diego1664:
Like you know, i've put the new checkROM on my device. Should i calibrate your way before restoring my backup or after ? Does it matter ?

[Galaxy S II General] ram3n:
AFAIK, it doesn't matter at all, just make sure that you have restored good files :D (2.3.5 with 2.3.5 ones)

After running TitaniumBack Pro, you can calibrate your battery if needed, then enjoy this amazing ROM !:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II General] mime103:
It is recommended to calibrate your battery every time you change your rom (after).

There are some apps in the market but you need to be root.

With this system no root is needed.

[Galaxy S II General] adinpop:

[Galaxy S II General] ahmadshawki:
I did the calibration twice and still goes 99% the instant I pull the charger off. Also when charger while the phone is off, when I get the 100% charge I pull off the charger and wait for about half a minute then replug it and it takes about 35-40 minutes to reach the 100% again. And so on...

Well, after I finish this post, I will reset the software and erase everything. Then I will calibrate the battery. This way I will have a base to stay off.

Still, what if it doesn't stay on 100%, what do I do?
[Galaxy S II General] doctor1991:
Did you know that Li-Ion batteries can be damaged if they are full cycled (going from 100% to 0%)? Calibration is useless for single-cell batteries like the ones used in the mobile phones: the only thing you can "calibrate" is the state of charge of the cells in the multi-cell batteries. Calibration is something like having 10 buckets and putting the same quantity of water inside them, instead of having different levels of water for each bucket. But if the bucket is only one, and the water can go only inside of it, where's the sense of "calibrating"? I really don't understand this calibration mania.
[Galaxy S II General] raistlintower:
have you tried the battery cali.. that the rom developer provides?
[Galaxy S II General] KeesStolk:
Finally got around to do this, always in for trying to get the best battery life.

Looks that it is working, but i also flashed K2-20 speedmod kernel just the day after i used this method.

Any way, i have a great battery life, better then it was before.

If this is because off speedmod K2-20 or the method, i am not sure yet.

No need, but i wouldn't let the S2 drain to 0, between 0 and 5 is recommended, but i didn't do that.

I have some bad experience with draining to 0, somehow it wreck my sd card.
