If you can get into download mode, you don't have to use a jig; I find the easiest way is to hold down both volume buttons while plugging in the USB cable. While the phone is off of course.

If you can get into download mode, you should be able to flash to stock with ODIN one-click.

[Blade General] Amit.V:
Since i have my blade i've tried almost every rom available, and i'm still not completely happy.

CM7 - definitely the best, as far as option and costumazation goes, but very slow and laggy on the blade.

GSF and every other leaked\official ZTE rom - much smoother, but still not enough for me.

There are only 2 roms which i find very fast and smooth, and they are both based on SKATE kernel. the first is WBAW's MCSF, and the second is Elitemovile's R9.

Unfortunately, they are both not developed anymore, since the developers find the blade kernel better, but for me the most important thing is the smooth scrolling which they are the best in.

The problem is that each of them has a few cons, and i think that a mix of them will be the perfect rom for me. i just don't know how to do it. so if anyone can give me tips, i'll be grateful. here are the pros and cons i've found in the roms.

MCSF Pro's

- Amazing Dolby Digital sound system. Much better sound quality and higher volume, almost twice as on other roms. As far as i know, this is exclusive to the skate kernel, so how come Elitemovile's R9 doesn't have it?

- AOSP Dialer, CM7 Keyboard and Languages, no unnecessery apps.

MCSF Cons:

- No Notification power widget.

- stock theme (not sure it's a con. i like it simple).

- no bluetooth, no tethering (not really important for me)

- no crt animation, no reboot from menu

- both roms have a problem with the back light of the buttons that goes on and off, but i don't really care for that.

Elitemovile's R9 Pros:

- Great theme, reboot from shut-down menu, CRT animations etc...

- Great notification power widget with wi-fi and rotate toggles (these 2 are the most important for me to be on notification drawer)

Elitemovils' R9 Cons:

- Lots of unuseful or apps which i don't like, not CM7 keyboard (now hebrew), no AOSP dialer, not as stable as MCSF - sometimes super smooth, somtimes a bit laggy.

- new music app - slow, heavy and sometimes the sound stutters. i tried replacing it with the old music app, and still stuttering sometimes.

- the most important - no Dolby Digital.

- no battery icon with numbers.

So if anyone can tell me how can i mix the pros from the 2 roms into one, i'll be grateful. is there anyway to port the dolby digital to the R9, or the notification power widget to MCSF, etc... if i'll be able to do it i'll be the happiest man alive (although i'll still miss the vol up\down changing songs while screen is off from CM7, which no other rom has).

Thanks, Amit
[Acer Iconia A500] jdd1777:
Alright. First is A.D.W.Launcher ex. Mainly because of the customization. Then Honeybar and Adw gives you the option to hide the top bar. Add button savior. I like on my bottom right thumb but you can place it anywhere you want. I end up with 100% of my screen accesable by a tiny little icon that you can adjust. I spend more time changing and tweaking my tab more than anything besides checking this site for more ways to customize. I have had other tabs but this just has it all. Fast and clean. Oh yeah the 4d scrolling app drawer really shows off android nicely. Add the multiple screen wallpaper and its just awesome.
[Acer Iconia A500] jdd1777:
Use the multiple screen wallpaper app and cube transitions and be amazed at how cool just changing screens is.

Absolute system root tools is another app that does everything from changing fonts to boot animations and other cool things so try it out.

Apple investigation iPhone 4S battery life complaints

Apple engineers are looking into faster-than-expected battery drain on the company's newest iPhone, according to a report.

The Guardian reports that some iPhone 4S owners are being contacted by Apple after complaining about lower-than-expected battery performance on the company's support Web site. Numerous users there are saying their phones are lasting just a few hours, even with minimal use, and with power-draining features disabled.

At least one owner told The Guardian that an Apple engineer contacted him and provided instructions for installing a diagnostic file that would be sent back to the company for analysis. This was after telling him the quick draining was a known issue.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.

The iPhone 4S launched two weeks ago in the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and several other countries, and is expanding to 22 additional countries this weekend. It boasts an extra hour of 3G talk time compared with the iPhone 4, while coming in at 100 hours less of standby time, based on Apple's own testing. CNET's own iPhone 4S battery testing with a model on Sprint's network yielded 9.2 hours of talk time on the carrier's 3G EV-DO Rev. A network, coming in as the strongest iPhone battery test to date.

The phone continues the trend set by previous iterations, sealing the battery inside to allow for better use of space. As a side effect, users can't swap it out with another battery, as most other phones allow.

A teardown of the iPhone 4S earlier this month by iFixit revealed that the battery in the 4S is slightly more powerful than the one in the iPhone 4, but not by much. Users get an extra .05 WHrs of juice compared with the battery that was in the iPhone 4. The big difference, of course, is that the iPhone 4S sports a dual-core A5 processor.

Since when are iOS or iPhone bugs worthy of an own topic in the Samsung Galaxy S2 section?
[Off-topic] BrandoHD:
I was wondering the same, but I believe it's the OP intention to "defend" the SGS2, a defence that I don't think is needed the more I think about it.

No offence to the OP as I realize people are very sensitive around these parts....:D
[Off-topic] LouisJB:
Stop, be so being so precious about what is posted in this forum.

Some of us like a bit variety in this forum especially as we hear so much about S2 battery problems.

I would like to hear what other S2 owners think on these type of topics.
[Off-topic] darrenjdoc:
I dont know why people keep complaining about the battery in the SGS2.

There are loads of tips on here that are easy to follow.

If you use it as an ordinary dumb phone it will last 2/3 days.

If you use it as your primary multimedia handset it will easily last you a full day if not more.

As for the iP4s, who cares about that in a SGS2 forum.

the effects of rubbing salt in the wound. I think.
[Off-topic] meranto:
You are aware of the fact that on XDA-developers there is a variety of subforums for those of us who get bored by their own device, right? And that there are even forums not dedicated to a specific device?

So, as an S2 owner you also want my opinion on topics like this.

Well, I think they are pathetic. They are evidence that the SGS2 is not viewed as the top phone on the market. If you have to kick others down to display your 'greatness' you are by definition not the top dog. If the SGS2 was the top phone, it would have to look at itself to see what could be improved instead of looking at others. A bad iPhone battery does not make a SGS2 a better phone. And laughing at the the misery of users of a competing (if even, given the different expectations of the 2 user groups) product is just childish.

It looks like the battery bug of one phone is well on its way to being solved. The other is another matter.

Unfortunately I have too few posts in order to post this in the most relevant thread.

I have a Nexus S running fransiscos kernel.

Would apps such as OS monitor and juice defender stop the phone from entering deep idle? Do I even need juice defender with the advantages fransicos kernel will bring me?

I also run several communication apps I like to be logged into at all times, and I want things like SMS backup+ to run as scheduled. I want notifications when I get an email, calendar event, TaskOS, or chat. And I use my phone as an mp3 player often throughout the day.

It's still a bit early to tell (as I have only been through 1 charge cycle so far) but I am not sure my phone is entering deep idle as much as it should. Or, some of my apps are pulling it out.

I'm really very new at all this kernel stuff. If anyone can give me some tips or insights I would appreciate it.

I would imagine that sacrificing being logged into QQ all the time would be the first thing to do. Other things maybe don't require a constant live connection so could the phone be configured to come out of deep idle in order to run them, then go back sleep?

What sort of balance do you have between functionality and battery life?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Why you need to disable them? Your phone will still be sync even in deep sleep.

I'm running trinity uv. I get my sync in 3G too.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiamo:
reading the deepidle thread ezekeel says "for the real power saving to kick in, one would have to power down parts of the hardware, and thats exactly what deep idle state is supposed to do".

i imagined that if an app needs a piece of hardware that deepidle powered off, then it would prevent it from entering that state. no?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Na, it won't. You can try the kernel with WiFi on for whole night. Then you will see awake lines in battery use.

hmm. What is an acceptable number for -mA in the battery history? Some of those numbers seem high to me.

Also, I should be into my 3rd charge cycle now (as demonstrated in the graphs) however the graph only dropped down to 70%. Any ideas on where the rest of the data went?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Those numbers are high. I can get -1mA with my data on.

You have too much running service going on. You can use "fast reboot" app to kill all those app before screen off. Everytime you use the fast reboot or task killer, your battery history will be stopped. And if you run those full site or hd games, it will be killed. You have to switch the battery widget on Everytime you kill something

Hi--I am new to android and I recently rooted my SG2 and I am loving the unNamed rom. Now I see this theme I want to use but I can't figure out how to apply it. I read somewhere that I have to download it and then name it update.zip and them once in recovery choose "apply update from sdcard". I do all that and still nothing, am i doing something wrong? please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
first of all, make sure the theme is made for the rom you are running. even the version makes a difference most of the time.

secondly.....you never rename the zip file to update.zip. leave it whatever name it comes as, reboot to recovery, and INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD...its the same exact process as flashing a rom, but you dont need to wipe data/factory reset.

good habit to get in is to wipe dalvik cache then flash it.

Hi all!

I just got a Galaxy S i9000m, it came stock (unrooted).

I've been reading + searching trying to find out how I can root this then flash a different rom. I'm a little confused in finding the easiest way to do this.

My phone stats from the settings:

-Firmware 2.3.3

-Baseband I9000UKGKG3

-Kernel 2.6.35.7 I9000UKGKG3 sj0829.kwon@SEP-08 #2

-Build GINGERBREAD.GKG3

I can press the volume up+down + power on and get into the recovery menu

I can also do the volume down + power and get into the download screen.

Can someone link me to where the tutorial for this is? I've found the cf root thread, but I don't know where to dl ODIN.

Also, since I can get into recovery (3 button method) can I just flash the update .zip to root?

Thanks for any input you can give me.

I have the same phone as you, and it also came as 2.3.3 UGKG3 stock, but what I did was just flash it to JVT 2.3.5 and used ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.5 root and then speedmod since I wasn't sure if ChainFire's kernal for 2.3.3 would work with UGKG3 since it's the North American version.
