Main post is updated with additional battery testing information.

Short version - 31 hours achieved using Da_G's 0.3 Kernel and JuiceDefender Ultimate with moderate to heavy usage. Hopefully that will put to rest some of the Battery FUD that I've seen. :rolleyes:

So are trolls who jump into a thread, take a dump, and then leave without contributing anything.

Anyway, on to something interesting. I ordered a new battery in order to both have an extra and just swap out when running low. The battery is actually for the T-mobile, but since they are the same phone, is compatible with ours.

The first time I used the battery, I got over 74 hours on a single charge! (3 days 2 hrs). I had roughly 10% left, so I could have gone farther, but had to swap out the battery at that point. Granted, I did have fairly light use of the phone, but still...

This has been consistent, although I can't explain it. For whatever reason the life of the new battery is pretty amazing.

YMMV, but hopefully you will have equal success. I purchased the battery via Amazon based on the user comments of it being compatible with the Skyrocket. This kit includes the desk charger and battery. Samsung ET-CGPK004GSTA T-Mobile SGH-T989 Battery Charger with Stand

I am running JuiceDefender, which is claiming it roughly doubles my battery life. I'm also using SetCPU profiles to underclock on Da_G's 0.3 kernel. (Which is essentially the stock kernel with overclocking enabled along with a few other goodies.)

I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had good luck with this battery - it far surpasses the one that came with my phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
I'm considering purchasing setCPU. Would you say it's made a big difference. I'm using the free version of Antutu's CPU Master, which doesn't have profiles (like screen off), but I think the verdict is still out whether it's really helping my battery life (though definitely hasn't hindered it any).

I'd be interested to know other people's luck w/ the T-Mo battery, too. Is this also an 1850mAH battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
Set CPU is available free for xda members. Just do a search for it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Longcat14:
True, but I purchased it to support the dev. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Maybe I'll give the free version a try, then purchase if I end up keeping it. Have you guys felt that it made a difference?

---------- Post added at 12:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

BTW, what are you settings with SetCPU? When I used the CPU Master, I had the lowest at 384Mhz, and ondemand. Is this safe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tejones36:
It is an 1850 mAH battery.

I'm not sure how much SetCPU helps, but like you said, it doesn't hurt. Since it also changes the CPU voltage table, you'd think there would be less draw on the battery though. I need to test it independently of JuiceDefender. Unfortunately the latest version of JuiceDefender seems to be giving my phone fits, so I may have to uninstall it anyway. (or just try one of the default settings instead of the advanced setting I have atm)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Battery Life

To OP, I would love to get this kind of battery life on my phone, could you please answer a few questions/provide some information so I can recreate your phone setup?

1.) What ROM/Kernel Combo are you using?

2.) What are the exact profiles you have setup under SetCPU

3.) What are the exact settings you are using for JuiceDefender?

4.) Are you on Rogers or AT&T?

5.) Are you using the radio the phone came with or a different one?

If you could be as specific as possible it would be greatly appreciated, as i'vemade significant steps and changes to my phone to last even a day. I'm sure this info would also be helpful to others. I'm also looking into purchasing that battery, as you seem to have gained significant improvements from it.

P.S. The battery that you purchased from amazon with the cradle and charger, what was the model number listed on it? Was it EB-L1D71BA?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] azdanowski:
I have a problem with connection my wife's ACE with ODIN / PC. I'll write you a few facts to help you in helping me.

I've flashed phone and rooted (odin detect it and I could also connect to the computer as mass storage).

Even after uploading the new firmware, I could copy some files to the phone.

And here is the biggest problem ... I do not know what happened but something started to go bad (crash with applications, root disappeared, there was an old version of the firmware - I have no idea as possible ... the phone uses the wife and children :)).

I tried to clear the cash and fix permission - and in this operation, the phone has crashed.

I decided to flash it again.

I did all the cleaning and format factory.

And that was the end of my adventure - because when I want flashign, odin does not detect the phone. Phone is not not detected as a computer disk.

After a long time of connection by usb cable, Windows pop me up by standard error "encountered a problem installing your hardware ..." "one of the USB devices connected to the computer improvement may not work ...".

Checked on a desktop and laptop.

On both of these computers my other phone (SGS) works correctly and is detected - using the same cable (so cable and ports and drivers are ok).

Could you help me please?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Kies should install the drivers when you plug it in. But during flashing, you need to close kies.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] azdanowski:
It's not the issue. Drivers are work correctly because other phone is detected. Kies is close.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
The problem started with 2 & 5 .

You probably flashed a new stock firmware , which caused root functionality to disappear .

In number 4 , fix permissions should only be used if a few system apps keeps force closing

In number 6 , factory reset isn't needed unless absolutely necessary

I'd recommend you to go to www.sammobile.com and download the firmware that you were using

Then flash it with ODIN
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] azdanowski:
Emo,

but my only one problem is, that ODIN dosen't detect my ACE. So this is my main issue: what should I do, to reinstitiute a possibillity of detecting phone by odin / PC.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
It should detect your phone

Try ending all Kies processes by using Task Manager
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] happily1986:
this is your problem. Uninstall your phone in Device Manager and install it properly by downloading the standalone USB driver for S5830. Google for it. This happened to me on Win XP. On Win 7, the native/vanilla USB drivers worked fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nnick:
Hi guys. I'd like to know if there is any way to calibrate the S-Pen, somethink like in the old Windows Mobile days with that little cross which you had to tap to calibrate your screen to the stylus. It's off by a few pixels on my note, which makes it annoying.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
+1 .......
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mywingtophone:
My GN too is off by a few pixel and is kinda annoying specially for some precision drawing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SNiiPE_DoGG:
It's supposed to be off, that's why you set it for left and right handed so you can see what your doing.

All you need to do is get used to it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jommy999:
yeah that how they design . like set the right hand then it will off a bit on the left . if setting using left hand then it will off to the right side a bit. but its only on s memo ? seem to be spot on in browsing web.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cube48:
I just did a little discovery. When I touch the screen either with one finger of my other hand or with part of the hand which holds the pen TOGETHER with S Pen, the accuracy is much better then by touching the screen solely by S Pen. Tested with default stylus and some OEM Lifebook tablet PC stylus. Both behave better when I rest my palm on screen while drawing/writting.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Elenkis:
Are you sure you aren't just holding the pen at a slightly different angle when doing that? The way you hold the pen makes quite a big difference to the accuracy in my experience.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] uvz:
I think that the precision of the pen is perfect.

I think it's wrong yours handle :rolleyes:

not using the pen perpendicular ...:eek:

try to held the s-pen as a real pen (inclined) and you'll find it very precise.

you must use it as you use one pen with a sheet of paper

I don't think you write with the pen perpendicular the book...:rolleyes::p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cube48:
The angle definitely impacts the precision. As written above the usual 'paper and pen' holding is the best and also the upward pen button orientation helps. But somehow I get even more precise results when touching the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phobia810:
I just get a my replacement of galaxy note from the shop due to the screeen problem in my last phone.

I am quite frustrated because I found that my s pen really needs calibration.	My last galaxy note, although the screen had problem, it didn't have any calibration problem that the s pen is so accurate. So unhappy
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
It should get used to me, not the other way round.

I'm left-handed, and many left handers have different ways of holding pens due to smudge-avoidance habits. Setting the phone to "left handed" may suit some lefties, but not me.

What's so difficult about allowing personal calibration, Samsung?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] the red krawler:
I've found my pen is inaccurate too, unless you're holding it and using it like a pen and not a stylus... If that makes sense?

If you use it like a traditional stylus on resistive touch screen and expect the point of the stylus to be exactly where it hits the screen regardless of pen angle then it'll always appear to be very inaccurate. But if you treat it more like a normal pen and hold it at a normal handwriting angle and except the mark to appear where the tip of the pencil would be in that position its just fine.

Change your mindset: This is a standard pencil, not a stylus. Once you treat it like a normal pencil/pen and use it like you normally do handwriting instead of as a stylus poking at the screen you'll find its very good.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] erlz:
mine also a bit off its upper then the actual touch point.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] daxmedflax:
Mine too. I really think this was a deliberate move by Samsung. More like a pencil/pen than a stylus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kebong:
This. It's supposed to be this way, to make writing more natural. Not a flaw, but I do wish there was an option to disable it. Maybe a mod in the future will enable us to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] qazzi76:
Fully agreed - we should be able to calibrate it. and it should definitely get used to us and not the other way around!!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DaveC1964:
It seems like a flaw to me. When I use it towards the center of the screen it seems OK, as I get closer to the edges it drifts off center. It certainly looks like a calibration bug to me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hamadhmd:
same issue, need to hold it like a pen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dobygot:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19491160

Check out this thread

I posted a rather long thing about the accuracy issue.

Basically, there's a set offset based on left/right handedness, which will change depending on the orientation of the screen. If the angle at which you write moves outside of what Samsung deems "normal" then it becomes horribly inaccurate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kibosh3:
Everyone is trying to stick up for and justify this pen problem...if this is the case, how come other drawing programs on the note aren't nearly as bad?

Ill correct this:

Hot damn! Why couldn't our version be more like the gsm? The photon has a gsm radio, so does the 4s. I wish I could go back the Hero or the Evo, but sprint doesn't want us to hold on to phones for a long peroid of time. On a side note, we still don't even have MIUI.

[LG Optimus 3D] rotmann:
Hey guys and girls,

I have a question, I've looked for an answer but I haven't found one. From my experience with android devices, the RAM amount is not fully available. My ZTE Blade had 420 MB available, my nexus one 404 MB, my SGS1 313 MB (?!?! WTF) and my actual LG Speed (aka 2X) has 373 MB available RAM, as I understand some RAM gets allocated to the GPU.

Could someone install the free app Android System Info from the Market and tell me what the app reports at the Dashboard/RAM/Max RAM? This is very important to me, because I do lots of multitasking and I need some apps to always stay in the background, like PKT Auctions or eBay etc. and I find them sometimes closed because of not enough free available RAM, even though I always close rarely used apps after using (MIUI hold back button to close + Autostarts App to keep not needed stuff away from opening).

Thanks a lot, this will help me to take the decision to skip from the LG 2X to the LG 3D (no, I don't want an SGSII, I want to experiment with 3D).
[LG Optimus 3D] bioweb:
I just installed it and it says that max mem is 441MB so if your Blade or N1 gave you enough room to multitask then this phone will certainly fit your needs.
[LG Optimus 3D] rotmann:
Thanks a lot mate. I went into a Telekom (T-Mobile) Shop and I have found out from the Quick System Info App that it indeed has 441MB available, BUT 117MB are SWAP :eek: The 2X has 373MB but swap is 0. From previous experience with android devices and computers, swap is always bad and slow. So the real available amount of RAM of the LG Optimus 3D is 324MB which is crap, LG just tried to trick the things a little by adding a swap partition.

I have searched in the forums but haven't found anything about a swap partition, which is a very important factor.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anukilimanoor:
It doesnt mean that ... you can try to restore, but if you are facing any problem after restoring, like fc, random boot or lag then you have to worry about the restore. Normally for better performance use a fresh install (it is only my experience). If you are flashing the same version then no problem you can restore the application.

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

You can restore from a backup just not a nand one from another rom use titanium backup and save all your apps (system data from CM7 etc will cause problems if you try and restore it) then restore once darkyRom has been flashed.

titanium backup has the nice feature of creating an update zip to flash in CWM after install
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erang42:
Hi, I am also in the same situation. I have been using PilotX for around a month now, but I am still not satisfied with my phone's performance. So I am considering installing Darky.

Did you succeed installing it? The main things I am trying to figure out now are:

1. Do I will need to install a special modem to make it work with Pelephone's network in Israel (my original phone used baseband I9000TJJJP3 if that says anything; with PilotX I now have I9000TUBJV6).

2. Since I am now on a different custom ROM, should I go back to my provider's stock ROM before proceeding with install, or does it not matter?

3. Any extra things to install for Hebrew support? (I don't need Hebrew menus, just properly rendering right-to-left in emails and messages).

I should probably start my own thread with questions (or read up some more about it first), but if you've gone through it now maybe you have tips.

Thanks :)

I have a rather specific issue with the keyboard dock that is a bit of an annoyance. Here's how the issue comes up:

1. With the keyboard dock attached, open the YouTube app and watch a video.

2. In the search box of the video screen, type anything that has a space in it (example: "Asus Transformer")

3. The "Asus" bit shows up in the search box, but when I hit the space key, the first "Related video" is highlighted and I am unable to type any further.

The only solution I have so far is to toggle the "Use physical keyboard" option to "Off" and type using the on-screen keyboard.

Am I the only one with this issue?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnceHeaven:
I had experienced this as well. My solution used to toggle On/Off of the physical keyboard. But I had come to realize that this can be easily rectified.

Try my solution & let us know the outcome.
