It's called BatteryCalibration App in the Market. Says it just removes the old batterystats.bin sys file and generates a new file so you're starting from scratch.

Just to update my battery life, I just plugged my phone in about 10 mins ago. It was goin for 27.5 hrs and it still had 15% when I plugged it in. Was gonna wait til it went to 0 but remembered ppl saying that's not good for li-ion batteries so decided that was good enough...lol Never got more than 12-14 hrs before havin to plug in before.

Hey Guys

Still getting poor LTE download speeds in Vancouver BC on this Rom. Only getting like 2.9 mbps and 11 mbps upload.

Is there something I can do to improve this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Chouie:
Yeah I'm still having thus problem...but rebooting the phone seems to solve this problem. I've notice every time the radio switches, for some reason the phone or the network throttles the data speed...gotta reboot the phone or turn airplane mode on then off to re connect to the network

I'm curious how fast are u downloading hspa+?

Well I completely uninstalled GMAIL via ES File Explorer and then reinstalled it from the market. Let's see if that fixes the problem. Probably not.

This Rom is running great on my phone....I do have one issue though.

I've been getting complaints from friends and clients that my voice sounds distant when I'm talking to them on the handset and headset. I have searched for countless hours for a solution and have found a suggestion to go into Service Mode and adjust the microphone values manually. However, it won't let me do so (i'm thinking because it's not a stick rom). Is there a way around this?

Or does anyone know of any other solutions to help me with my mic problem? I'm desperate.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate your help.

Try turning off your noise suppression filter. Settings -> Call -> Advanced -> uncheck the box.

Try that and see how it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] umvagia0:
Ya i've tinkered with that. when i have it ON, the people on the other line here an echo and they hear a repeat of everything they say. I was hoping that maybe there's a fix to the "compressed" sounding microphone problem. Is there an app that I can adjust in call mic volumes for headset and handset maybe?

Thanks agian.

Sometimes I'm yelling while speaking to my grandmother. It's not the phone though:)... Aside from that, I'll assume your volume is ample and your not holding the phone funny covering mic holes? Perhaps interference from other radios, even microwaves, baby monitors..ect. Link or dirt in mics? If none, try factory reset.

edit: I remember this problem (echoing) on my captivate, seems some radios worked better for me than others.

flashed this last night, and I'm super impressed. great battery life, stable as it can be (better than stock in a few instances) and fast fast FAST. my favorite ROM to date!

overclocked with Android overclock app, 1728\192, charged to full and let it sit overnight (7 hours) and woke up with 98% battery! before this ROM I was lucky to be at 50%! I'm sure stripping a lot of the crap had something to do with that, but still!

It's a hardware related issue, not a ROM related issue. There are several reports of the bluetooth hardware being sub-par with the Skyrocket.

I gave up messing with my Eclipse headunit in the car. I use my work blackberry for bluetooth in the car now, and the SR does everything else. I suppose if someone re-wrote the BT stack on the phone, it could be improved...

It's not a BMW specific issue, though. There are several widespread reports of the bluetooth hardware on the Skyrocket being "substandard". It's almost as picky as an iPhone to be completely honest.

It's really a great ROM, I've been using it exclusively without any problems from the ROM itself. If you haven't already, some CPU apps can set profiles so you can easily switch frequencies on the fly.

Here's a bump for ya TPC, I used this ROM for a long time after buying my SR, but got the flashing urge, so I decided to try the fast version of Sky ICS. Very nice eye candy, but definitely not as fast and smooth as this ROM. I am back to this ROM, likely until the real ICS hits.

One question, the cpu stays at stock frequency if not changed through setcpu or similar applications? is this correct?

Thanks! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
I think he has script included so no it does not stay. DO not use any cpu app. Plus get cpu spy to check ur cpu.:D If you want stock kernel get romracer's stock modified kernel which will be the best for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mgori:
Thanks for the information appdroid. I will flash anyway, always wanted to try OC my phone lol. If I notice the phone getting too hot or behaving oddly then I'll revert back to stock. I am assuming this rom can be flashed through install from zip using recovery? correct? sorry for the noob question, I am fairly new to Android.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
I thought TPC was using DaG's kernel that can be oc'd using setcpu or another program he listed... Dunno if that's changed though from his original post...

If you want to try out a rom that's very easy to OC try out the Sky ICS rom from SeanScreamz, the Speed rom is already loaded w/ FauxCpu to oc right out the box. Battery life definitely isn't as good as TPC's tho, which is why I end up back here if I need stability or great battery life like when I just went to Vegas...lol Both can be flashed using CWM Recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mgori:
Thanks rkub! I flashed TPC and its running great so far... I installed CPU Spy to monitor the frequencies being used and so far it hasn't gone passed stock. The one thing that's interesting is that under the "Unused CPU States" it goes as high as 1.8GHz so I think it has the potential to use up to that frequency.

Tethering with faux kernel?

Hey guys,

Been using this rom since release and love it. Currently using 0.9 faux kernel, everything works great etc... But a few days ago I tried wifi tethering and it could not connect.

Searched this thread and some people said it might be a kernel issue, but nobody specifically mentioned faux. So, has anybody tried wifi tethering with this kernel with success?

Thanks.

I'm sure this probably been answered already, but where can I get logo boot animations and how do I install them? I am running this rom/kernel.

I see rom toolbox has some? Can I just use those and install it from there? Thought I will ask before I mess something up.

The same with the fonts as well, do those work with this rom if I install from Rom Toolbox.

Can this Rom support waking up the skyrocket from sleep mode using the volume keys? I want to use my volume leys instead of tapping on the power button to wake up my phone.

I'm loving this Rom btw.

Thanks all

Most Popular and Stable ROM !!

This ROM is and continues to be the most stable and popular Rom out there. There has been quite a few tweeks and updates though. It has ben 2 months since an update. I hope Twopump and his family are OK. Maybe with his permission if he does not have the time or dedication at this current time, can pick up where he left off with this ROM given his permission of course. I want to see this ROM still flourish and compete with every ROM out there. My highest regards to the Chef and his hard work.

Is anyone having any "Deep Sleep" issues with this ROM and Da_G's kernel?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Did u use betterbatterystats to check for wakelock issues? Before you flash a new firmware you might want to use this app. In my experience high wakelocks are rarely caused by these roms, as the kernels in current use are fairly mature, and are usually the fault of an app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
No issues pertaining to deep sleep with TPC on my end. I am more than happy with the battery performance of my device while sitting idle. I can easily go six hours of idle time and drop only 1%.

Do find twopumpchump's OC script in the thread, it will enable 192MHZ deep sleep w/o third party apps or SOD.

You might try under settings goto wireless then your wireless option then when there hit menu advanced options and set the sleep policy. On sky ics it is set to never when on wifi by default and a few of the other roms also.

Deep sleep is like standby mode, your device will go into it on its own, awaken by apps, phone calls, ect. twopumpchump's zip will enable the 192MHZ deep sleep which gives such great battery performance while idle. battery performance will reflect the use when awake appropriately, especially if OC'd

When u were talking about 6hrs 1% was that in airplane mode? Are u undervolting at all?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
no airplane mode

but I'm talking idle state -not using it at all. I also do not have any ongoing programs that do not sleep well either. I always keep WiFi on, no set sleep policy. Occasionally I'll get a mystery battery plummet caused by some rouge app or system process so I try to restart the device everyday to help mitigate.

Here is twopumpchump's post and screenshot of what we're talking about. All of the batter and sleep discussion can be found between posts 176-250m or so. very good information on this in that range
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
then that explains it. on further examination the script u providing is undervolting (vdd tables), and having the wifi on actually helps battery life signifly, because radio switches to 2g and data is redirected to wifi, which if ur not using it, is sleeping.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
So does that mean in the general as case of not using any scripts, leaving wifi on all the time would hurt your battery? Because it drains my battery 10 times faster if I leave it on all day with minimal use. And I've read other ppl say that they leave wifi on all day and it improves their battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Actually your phone should be putting the wifi to sleep if not in use, you may have a wakelock issue or an active sync enabled. Either way, something is keeping your wifi connection active. Like i said, as soon as wifi is enabled, your phones switches to 2g, which is WAAY better for your battery.
