[Galaxy S II General] Instagib101:
I used Siyahs kernel for a while and I loved some of the features but Speedmod has it beat in terms of speed (duh! :P ) and battery life (I had read that multiple times which made me switch and I noticed a drop in battery consumption when switching to Speedmod).

You can check if FD is off as well but if your carrier doesn't support it may as well switch it off rather than relying on the phone to do it for you (I'd read a fair few posts from my fellow Aussies recommending switching off FD because AFAIK none of our carriers support it and it's a battery drain).

BTW - regarding Wifi sleep policy, I've seen people DEMAND that you completely turn off sleep policy as it's a battery drain (like you, i've been doing lots of battery reading and got mine down to very low consumption thankfully) - try comparing BBS with sleep policy on screen off vs sleep policy off and actually switching wifi off completely overnight.

Also, one thing I found useful was using titanium backup to completely freeze apps I wasn't using rather than just relying on the individual app settings. This also helps because it stops them booting when you start up your phone. Speaking of which, get Startup Manager if you haven't already - just like your home pc: turn off everything you don't need :)

EDIT: my uni mate wrote a pretty good general guide (for installing custom roms/etc as well as batter life tips) that might help you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351663

1% an hour is very good pretty much what i get you cant really get much better than than unless you switch off data and sync and most other things, consider yourself lucky you only lost 1% an hour, if your surfing the web for about 40 mins non stop 5% sounds about right too.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
Hello again, it seems you are on the right track, go ahead, its getting better :-)

I had the same issue, 2ma consumption for 3-4 hours after unplugging, then it raised to 14-18ma for no reason, my suspicon was the accu wheather widget, but I didnt do any further investigation cuz I switched the kernel and the issue dissappeared, yay :-)

Bbs can provide some more infos even on alarms, check it:

I still have 35% left and I can leave the house w/o getting panic ;-)

Try the kernel I mentioned earlier, you can only win!
[Galaxy S II General] phoboss:
BBS is force closing like crazy, cant really use it a lot.

the thing is, i still dont have an idea why my phone is always shown as awake. the one time i could access the graphs within BBS it showed the same behaviour. phone was/is awake the whole time.
[Galaxy S II General] Karpfenhai:
As far as I know, this is related to miui, I've seen other users using this rom complaining about fc's..

Search for logcat and do a manual dump to gain the desired data.
[Galaxy S II General] Remoteconcern:
I wonder if that constant awake bar is something to do with MIUI - certainly 8% in 8 hours drain isn't constantly awake, it would have drained more.

I route all my email to my Gmail and push that - doesn't seem to give me any battery trouble! I don't know if its a good option for you, or really whether or not its battery efficient, I just really like the Gmail interface.
[Galaxy S II General] phoboss:
so i've frozen some apps, wiped dalvik and cache partitions

but unfortunately that didnt really help.

here are some more screenshots (i resetted the data to get a more accurate reading) from the last half hour, during which, as you can see by the screen on time, i havent used the phone.

so do you think its odd that my phone got woken so often during this short time, or am i just to anal about it?
[Galaxy S II General] TechWizard:
Simple can work well

Just to back this up im running Hyerdroid just checked been running 20hr 15min and on 83% but dont do any fancy stuff just charge the phone when it needs it :)
[Galaxy S II General] phoboss:
like your battery saving method :D, but it doesnt help you, if your phone dies during a work day. all the testing i did was basically lab tests, i never really used the phone much during this time. if i start getting calls and writing mails all day, the battery will die, thats why i need to find out whats going on.

i just want to know, if what i'm seeing on the first screenshot in my last post is normal or not. from my understanding its just a little odd that, in the approx. 30 minutes that are displayed, my phone was awake a lot, when the screen wasnt even on (i was under the shower and havent touched the phone ones).

I love CRT OFF, I have seen a few roms with CRT ON. I ran a search for crt on and didnt find it so i thought I would ask. I would try to extract it myself but I am not sure what exactly I would be looking for.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] migmartinez:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyBob3:
Look in the CleanGB thread. Toadlife makes reference to it somewhere as he will be putting it in v17. He links to how it is done and *maybe* a simple flashable zip.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffro18:
Maddiggins 10 lockscreen mod includes it. Any rom with that should have crt on\off, or you can try flashing it over the EI22 rom of your choice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HorreC:
I know it states it says it does have it but maybe I dont know if its on there is looks the same as it did before. Is it subtle or like the reverse of the CTR off??
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmax0420:
I flashed maddiggins and it has it in there, but i don't want all the other stuff that his mod changed. And yes crt on is the reverse of crt off... When you wake your screen it is an animated crt look. I am bout to restore from my backup to undo the 10 lockscreen mod. Then I guess I'll ask someone if they can throw together a flashable zip for us all. I would do it but I honestly don't know what to extract from any rom or mod that has it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Hoffman is working on adding it to Legendary ROM. Ask him if he can make it a flashable add on.

[Verizon Droid Charge] MSHancock:
So after boot looping my phone(from messing around with sys files after update) and reinstalling EE to get the update again, I decided to let the update download for the third time and then grab it. This is the update untouched. I looked for this file but did not find it any where. I know there are system dumps out there and the update that had to have the md5 checked.

So is this the same? Maybe. But this is how it was pushed to our cells.

The rar file contains the entire cache dir from my Charge do to the fact that there is one file in the log dir and I do not know if it is needed. The second screen shot shows what is in the rar file.

Download

DO NOT RENAME THIS AND UPDATE WITH IT.
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
We did have a leak of the update.zip file containing the Gingerbread 2.3.6 update that was being pushed to the phones via OTA.

Your file, at least the ZIP file contained within the RAR, has an MD5 signature of DEA220D570A3B477A04CD2141CD08BC3 which is an exact match to that of the leaked update.zip file that we had a week ago.
[Verizon Droid Charge] MSHancock:
I mentioned it was more then likely the same.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
I thought there was a difference of the 3g modem file?

Yup

GT = SAVAG3K1D911

[Verizon Droid Charge] Vegas_Sirk:
Can I just put this on my SD card and install or do I need to use a flashing utility like Odin?
[Verizon Droid Charge] MSHancock:
No. This was more for the devs if needed or someone that wanted to mess with the raw update file.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Vegas_Sirk:
Ahhh ... Thanks for the reply.

Where can I download the update? My phone has one of the leaked versions on it flashed through the Samsung Flashing tool, but ideally right at this moment I would like to put the phone back to full stock with the latest update.
[Verizon Droid Charge] benb1974:
flash the old ee and just pull it ota
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
There are several update files floating around in case you didnt want the hassle of going back to stock and wait for the update to download.

[General Questions and Answers] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello,

I'm wondering what the hardware requirements will be for the ICS update, and if possible; will the phone I purchase for Christmas (Orange San Francisco II) have access to an official ICS update any time in the future?

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] ChIP_83:
Real req:

- 256 RAM/ROM

- >800 Mhz CPU

For official req:

- See the producer site :)
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
As stated above, that is the most logical requirements. Whether or not you get a update depends on your carrier and manufacturer however. Avoid LG and Motorola as they tend to drop support for their new devices relatively fast or are slow.

[General Questions and Answers] nawktonson:
CM9a11 runs pretty smooth on my Nexus S. Overall, I'd say just as fast as stock Gingerbread 2.3.6 but there is some very noticeable (1-3 second) lag when opening certain apps like Google Voice and the recent app list when you long press on the Home button. But this is not an official build so I am sure the OTA will run better than Gingerbread :cool:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
Hi friends,

I wonder what we will get with ICS. I think it will let us to have much more free ram at startup. Maybe smoother than virtuous affinity... So more what? I've read it would be more useful than sense based roms. I really can't wait to have an ICS rom which is really smooth; but i don't know why and for what i wait :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Why would it give us more free RAM ? Surely it will be less, e.g. hardware acceleration uses more RAM.

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
in my opinion, base android roms (no sense) don't use much ram. somebody said we will not need sense with ICS. So it won't use much ram. as i said, these are my opinions... BTW doesn't sense based roms have hardware acceleration? is there any ram usage difference between gingerbread and ICS roms?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohshootrawr:
ICS is the newest operating system for android, which is definately alot to look forward to (eg. gingerbread made froyo absolete). But you're comparing it to a sense rom, which is a completely different thing. I think the best way for you to learn what you want to know is to google it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kekkojoker90:
yes but icsi with sense is impossible in G2 :D because have poor ram for this dual
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deadly Sto(R)m:
I have found this page http://chromloop.com/2011/11/ice-cream-sandwich-first-boot-on-motorola-defy-aosp/

It says ics uses about the same ram with gingerbread. So it should be possible to have ics rom with sense. But i don't think that i need it, i only want ics based cyanogen 9. Thus it will be fast i though. Am i wrong?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntSmoove:
Well you can play around with the ICS port that's still in the works. You'll get a general idea of new things to come. I can't wait till we have a nice, fully functional rom. Don't think I'd even want anything from sense after that
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttamirt:
i've been playing with the ics port rom ever since the alpha version. so far it's the greatest. can't imagine (wait) what it will feel after a stable release
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muffinwaffle:
Have they implemented Hardware accelerated UI in the Desire S port?

It seems rather slow.

Of course it's in beta, so it's all cool and I don't expect a port to perform well in the long run either way. But I'm just curious since "3D acceleration" is kinda vague. Is it only for game apps and some fancy effects?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomas_wlc:
As far as I know hardware acceleration is fully working on the desire s port. I'm pretty sure, that most performance issues are simply due to the fact that it is a beta port of ics from another device.

Once we have a fully working aosp build or cm9, performance should be as good as expected.

I think you can get a good impression of ics without hw acceleration by trying out v 0.1 from andromadus, which redefines slow.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
As the thread states my friend just got a Nexus on contract and is using it to pay off his O2 contract as he already has a sim free iPhone 4S.

I can sell my GS2 for around £200-230 so just need to pay the difference to get it up to £300

Played around with it a tiny bit and it looks ok but not really sold on it however I do love the pure google experience (previous nexus one owner)

Good deal or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faz20:
Yeah! Honestly, I got this phone yesterday and you will NOT be disappointed. The screen, the smoothness of ICS, it's just a freaking monster man. And You're only going to be paying around £70-£100 for the phone so you can't go wrong!

Edit: Just read you already own a GS2. I would not be so sure then, it depends on how desperate you are to get ICS, because once that hits the GS2 the only thing that will be to the Nexus' advantage is the screen and dev support, which is more than enough for me to go for the Nexus lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Danny80y:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
Honestly, if I were you, I would wait until next year Q2 2012 when it is rumoured that quad core phones that are coming out. I'm pretty sure there are already ICS roms for the Galaxy S2 and you're getting it next year anyway from Samsung. However, I haven't had any experience with the Nexus so I can only tell you from what I think, I haven't actually compared the fluidity and smoothness of both phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
keep your gs2 and wait.for.ice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Good deal, go for it while you can still get that for your GS2.

I sold my GS2 for the Nexus and haven't looked back. It's just a better overall device and probably one of the coolest gadgets I've owned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] King Shady:
Don't listen to this idiot. He's the biggest troll on the Galaxy Nexus forums and only posts useless comments/complaints. You should definetely go for the Nexus - pure Google experience, HD screen, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Gotta agree. There are a few users here that I see post the same useless drivel. Makes ya wonder.

Anyway, like I said before, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Side note: The touch screen buttons have just made other Android devices look antiquated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
I am pretty sure I will if my friend doesn't decide to keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruthlesset:
£300 is not a great deal considering a brand new one sells for around £428.79. If you do not like it, you should be able to sell it for more than £300.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
nice signature. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qreffie:
It kind of depends. Since you already have a GS2 it's not really an upgrade but a lateral move from one phone to the next. The GN2 will definitely outlive the GS2 as far as official updates and dev support is concerned, but the GS2 already has plenty dev support right now and will likely have it for as long as you own/use the phone. The screen on the GN is way better, the processor is just as good, the GPU and camera on the GS2 are the only real advantages so it pretty much evens out in my book. It really is going to come down to personal preference. The reason I jumped to the nexus line was because I was a Vibrant owner and never saw a froyo update on my phone while Samsung promised and promised. The dev community and custom gone were the only things keeping me happy with my phone. About a week after the Nexus S was released I walked into a Best Buy and put my phone running a custom froyo rom with an overclocked processor up against a bone stock display model and the display model Nexus won every battle. I bought the phone a few days later and haven't looked back since. Now there are a few caveats to the story, one being that I had a variant of the GS and that Samsung had indeed finished the froyo update about two months before the release of the Nexus S (just not for the American variants) but at the end of the day, the Nexus S is going to receive an official update of ICS and the GS isn't despite them having nearly all the same hardware components. The devs are still there and they will give the phone a proper update but it would be easier with an official kernel to play with. Just my thoughts. Personally I'd go with the GN unless you plan on playing multiple high end games that require you to have a better GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
The stock google experience is swaying it for me right now and it looks like I will have to pay a minimum of £80 to £100 + selling my GS2.

Will see my mate on Thursday and take it from there and will let everyone know if I suddenly become a GN owner :D

My wife said no I cannot trade so I said it's an christmas present to myself so may have to sweeten her up a bit haha :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
Actually its a very very good deal. Its 429 + vat which is more like £520. Also considering its from his friend and not some random stranger he can be pretty sure there's not some weird fault with it or something dodgy. Its pretty close to having a brand new phone with £220 off :P

Personally for around £100 I would probably upgrade. I agree with other posts its more of a lateral move, but the SGS2 is soooo common now, especially in the UK, and its coming up to a year old soon. The Galaxy Nexus will stay 'new' for a while. Also remember the GN resolution is the native resolution for ICS and what it was designed for. Although other phones with lower resolutions will also get ICS i'm sure there'll be some compromises somewhere.

Anyway its all opinion, but for me i'm slightly for the GN. BTW I upgraded from a N1 to a Galaxy Nexus, and my only experience of a SGS2 is 5 minutes with my friends one at the pub.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
Interesting as o2 would let me pay off my remaining 2 months of my contract so i could get the galaxy nexus earlier.

They told me they do not allow this anymore and for that they have lost a customer, they never even tried to do me a deal.

I pay £41 a month for unlimited everything on my new contract which would mean i will pay £984 over the 24 month contract.

Hes going to be well out of pocket once he pays off his contract is o2 let him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
Text my mate to say I am going for the GN so now it's just down to when I go and get some cash for my phone and when I get to see him next.

Good timing as well as he was considering selling it tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audino:
I bought a galaxy nexus and returned to my s2...

Only the screen is better on this phone and the new os, everything else isnt worth spendig money on it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
It's costing my friend around £200 to pay off O2 and he managed to get the GN for FREE on 12 months at vodafone so he will actually make around £100 from this and will also be on a 12 month agreement not 18-24 months.

On o2 he pays £37-38 a month and Vodafone will be £41 a month so makes sense really for him to sell it and for me to buy it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
Sold my GS2 and picking up the GN tonight after 6pm.

The lesser GPU does not bother me as I never play games and the screen although pentile looks incredibly sharp to me so will use this as my work phone and keep my iPhone 4s as my primary phone.

All in all cost me £65 + GS2 to get a GN so can't complain really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwerp_:
great choice. you won't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ferris2375:
Here's how I looked at it. I will look at the screen all the time, every day, on the hour and then some. So a better screen would be taken advantage of...big time. As a former GS2 owner, the screen on the Nexus is just far superior. I don't game all that much, so I wasn't wrapped up in GPU specs that much. Then you have to consider that while the GPU IS better on the GS2, the GPU on the Nexus is still very capable for the games on Android. Just look at Riptide GP or Shadow Gun ruinning on a GN, it's amazingly sharp and fluid.

Bottom line, you made a good choice. :)
