[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazynayba:
SOLVED!

After days and days of trying to fix the issue of the phone not sleeping (and therefore draining excess battery whilst idling) I have finally fixed it!!!!!

First i noticed that along with the sleep problems, I was getting the problems with car mode popping up randomly, the phone going into mtp connection mode, and thinking its charging when it was unplugged. After looking into these issues (and i thought it was a longshot) I decided to do what people were saying and

CLEAN THE MICRO USB PORT.

Now you're probably thinking I am a crazy man, but now im just crazy happy that I don't have to send my phone back to Hong Kong!

Instructions:

1. Get a clean, dry, soft-bristled toothbrush.

2. Take any case you have off the phone.

3. Gently insert the bristles into the port and "flick" it out softly.

4. Repeat this about 10-15 times

No matter what ROM, what kernel, what modem i tried flashing, my phone was always sitting on no more than 50% deep sleep mode when idle and had no wakelocks or "rogue apps".

I am now getting

90% - 98% DEEP SLEEP MODE!

:D

I obviously can't guarantee that it will work for everyone, heck how it solved the issue is a mystery to me, one which probably an electronically-minded/computer systems person could answer. What I can say though is I searched high and low online for about a week. I tried different kernels, I tried different ROMs, I tried "re-calibrating" the battery, I used BBS to check for partial wakelocks. If you too have tried all this and have had no success please PLEASE try this and see if you have success!!

Thanks for reading!

....

Or if you didnt...

TL;DR: If you're having battery drain problems clean the micro USB port with a soft toothbrush.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
The phone never sleeps when charging, the CPU idles at 200 MHz, whatever was in your USB port was probably making contact with the pins that tells the phone it is connected to a charger when it actually is not, so it was idling at 200 MHz and was not receiving power, that's the only explanation I could fathom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Remoteconcern:
Do two things:

Install CPU spy and show us what the deep sleep percentages are,

and try disabling wifi. Also, what is the router?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim87:
I have a battery drain issue; but its kind of screwey as i will reboot my phone and lose about 20% of the phones charge. If i turn it off and leave it off for an hour the charge comes back. Its random as well; only happens once a week. I have had this problem on different roms. You might have a similar problem to me. Possible the hardware that detects battery state is knackered.

I read that after using rooting Odin method, the rom is place in internal memory (internal sdcard) of the android phone, while in superone click the rom is place in external SD card.

I'm kinda confuse which one is the correct placement for flashing rom?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
It's always best to place it in the internal memory of your phone, no matter how you root it. c:

Anything you want to flash via clockworkmod recovery, place it in your internal memory.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souleater11:
some users recommend me to wipe data and format system before flashing a new rom.

if i place my new rom in the internal memory, wouldnt that delete the rom file?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exel:
Wipe data/factory reset is recommended.

It only wipes the actual android OS information, not your internal memory.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
It'll get there. When we have ICS, overclocking and underclocking will be great. With both cores being used fully, we could spend a lot more time underclocked which would lend itself for killer battery life.
[Motorola Atrix 2] malickie:
We can't OC/UV, make Custom Kernel or Cook Custom Rom's until we get the bootloader unlocked on this device. Until then we at least have root which makes freezing blootware etc doable but in the current situation that is about all the good you are going to get for now until there is an actual bootloader unlock. If Motorola is smart they will unlock the bootloader by default with ICS release but that remains to be seen.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Douchewithaphone:
Completely agreed. Can't wait. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
you don't need the bootloader unlocked for custom roms...

wish people would stop saying this.

many devices have custom roms with locked bootloaders, you need a hijacked boot file. i started the project in the development section, but, no one seemed to want to get involved. doomlord is even willing to finish it for the atrix 2 guys once a factory image is available. but, no other devs believe this is possible, when it totally is.

so, atrix 2 users will have to wait until someone could magically crack the bootloader (which will take forever plus 2-3 more months) to have anything cool for the atrix 2. when in reality, it could have already happened, but no one seems to want to actually develop for the atrix 2. just continue talking about cracking the bootloader (then what? lol).

as far as overclocking, you have to have the frequencies written into a custom kernel, which, atrix 2 developers also believe the bootloader needs to be unlocked, which again, is untrue. a kernel can be sideloaded at boot. but again, no developer wants to look into it, because they are for some ungodly reason convinced the bootloader has to be unlocked for them to do anything.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Your forgetting one very important thing Svtfmook. To have development, we have to have developers. We have about 3 that I know if that are that are capable of doing anything and out of the 3 I'm thinking of NONE are recognized developers. You, Jimmy273 and Jimbridgeman. We had one with Pirateghost but he left. I pm'd Nitroglycerin33 to help with our bootstrap and Daywalker04 to help us find a FXZ which he is still working on. I wish I could help more but I don't know jack **** about most of this stuff. I'm willing to help and we need to get everyone that we can to help.

I have pm'd several developers from the OG ATRIX but some just aren't interested. But I'm not giving up. We will get some development here one way or another.

BTW I'm still looking forward to your work here and thank you for what you have done so far.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Coldheat1906:

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes that is 100% true I am not a ROM developer nor do I have the want to do that... But I can an will do android and kernel development and hacking.... I have been part of Linux kernel dev since the 0.87 kernel, so that is where my strengths are.... I have already been working on an overclocked / more stable kernel for this phone from the source released for the Bionic and the RAZR, which I was able to get a hold of.... If I told you guys who my current client is I might be let out of the contract, if you know what I mean (it is one of the big 2 wireless providers and it is not Verizon), since I am doing system hardware architecture for then now.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Yes we will get an overclocked kernel on the Atrix2.

As Svtfmook, and others have stated there are ways to sideload another kernel, and I have even another way to load a kernel, but with dire consequences at this point...

The point is that again as others have stated sit tight until we have all the pieces we need in place to get everyone what they want. We are all working within the confines that have been put in by the manufactures of these devices, and trying to find ways to get around those by thinking and running things outside the box so to speak.

P.S. They are running Custom ROMS on the Bionic without and unlocked bootloader. I know of the Th3ory ROM in particular, and there are others I am sure by now.
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
Jim, I appreciate everything you do for us and I will try to help and stay involved as much as I can. Like I stated earlier, I don't know jack about code or Linux or anything.

[Epic 4G General] Shinydude100:
This is a fix,

If it's consistent, it can be fixed, if it's not a forever issue, then it'll go away.

In my case:

My # starts with 214, (Dallas,TX) area code. But I live in Oregon, and roaming 24/7 with 1x.

SO

My timestamps have *always* been wrong. lol

I used the app, SMS time fix. I just selected the option to fix my timestamp according to my phone's time (which is correctly sync'd to Pacific-Time Zone) and tada! my problem's solved.

Permanently :)

Also, it's not a resource hog either, like 2.7mb of ram?
[Epic 4G General] wsigo:
The gingerbread update seems to have actually fixed the "wrong timestamp while roaming" issue, so no need for that app any more.

I've been roaming nonstop for about a week now and all timestamps have been spot on.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cadavar:
Depending on the rom, it should be volume down + power. Hold both until the samsung logo flashes then comes back the 2nd time and let go of power, keep holding volume down and it should boot into recovery. You can also try alternating with volume up + home button + power, same method as above.

I want to buy my wife a 7" tablet for Christmas. Desired specs are: Android 2.2+, easily rooted and market install(I have rooted and installed market on a Pandigital Novel 7" table and a Viewsonic Gtab with a lot of help from members). She primarily uses it for crossword puzzles(shortz) and web surfing. I would like for it to be able to access a ad-hoc wifi, the Pandigital(hers) can not do this. I do not think she would need a lot of storage(memory?). Would 512mb of ram and 1ghz processor be over-kill? And it needs to be in the $150.00-$200.00 range. Could go slightly higher for an exceptional deal. Thanks

Maybe look for a Dell Streak deal. Waaaay underrated. The resolution is criticized as being limited, but that's a little silly. It's a 7 inch screen so you can only REALLY use so much resolution before the letters get to small to read. The real problems with it are (I have one) poor battery life and poor viewing angles. Neither are big issues for many users. If you are sharing your 7 inch tablet with many viewers and have to watch from a wide angle, you may be unhappy if you are viewing from 50 degrees off-angle. In reality, it's never been a problem. Battery life really does suck...6-8 hours of "on time" and 4-5 or a little less with constant use. If that's not enough (it's not always for me), then just be aware. Ergonomically, it's among the best I've used. There's nothing on the market today in the 7 inch size compelling enough to make me change.
