AlarmManager:

AlarmManager provides access to the system alarm services. In simple English, it provides alarm services for the phone, like 'ring in an hour time'. You problem is that Alarm Manager holds a CPU wake lock as long as the alarm receiver's onReceive() method is executing. What that means that if an app is requesting to be 'called' by the Alarm Service, the phone will not sleep. Once onReceive() returns, the Alarm Manager releases the wake lock and the phone will in some cases sleep as soon as your onReceive() method completes. What that means, is that once the app/apps say, figuratively "I got the Alarm Call and I did what I wanted to do!" the AlarmManager will release the wake lock and the phone will go to sleep.

Solution: Check for apps that call on AlarmManger. Apps that request for current time can also call upon AlarmManager. Apps that are well programmed and request, for example, the current time, but is non-crucial for that app to know that info when the phone is sleeping can use RTC. Using that, your phone will only give that info when it wakes up. However, apps can also use RTC_WAKEUP, which will force your phone to wake up, registering as a wakelock under AlarmManager, not the app that requested it. More info can be found here.

FDCompleteTime:

FDCompleteTime is the time which your phone takes to 'complete' FD, or Fast Dormancy. FD usually saves battery. For example, email update checks are done by the email application which, after receiving the server response, knows that it is not going to transmit or receive any further data. At that point the phone can tell the network “I don’t need to keep this connection active any more” and the network can immediately move the phone to a low energy state as preferred by the network operator, saving wasted battery and network resource. FDCompleteTime is there when the phone tells the network that “I don’t need to keep this connection active any more”. Usually, it is a very short period of time, but when your phone does not get a answer from the network, this time can stretch.

Solutions:FD can be turned off on some phones, but AFAIK, not on the ATRIX. I would STRONGLY DISCOURAGE you from touching FD though. More info on FD (VERY TECHNICAL) by the GSMA (random: I like their logo, especially the GSMA part. Love that font!) can be found here.

Hope that helps!

To ALL: I am NOT an expert. If I did say something wrong, or you think something is not right, or can be put a better way, please tell me. We both learn from the experience. Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] ctbear:
I'm having trouble syncing my Google account on my AT&T SGS2.

Basically the phone won't sync automatically when connected to wifi. The only way to get new email, google voice text, calendar entry etc. is to perform a manual refresh, which is extremely annoying and inconvenient.

And no, it doesn't auto sync even when the screen is kept on.

Funny thing is when wifi is turned off (so when using 3G data), syncing works perfectly and push notifications come almost instantly.

I've tried different kernels and roms and none of those help. I'm starting to believe that I have a weirdly defective device. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbarol:
I rooted my previous phone, a HTC Aria, and then whenever I turned it off and plugged it into the charger it would turn on with that annoying green screen with the options to doo all the boot level stuff (my mind is blanking and i cant remember what it was called...).

If i were to root my GSII, would there be any way to not get that screen when plugged in and turned off?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
that does not happen on the sgs2.

It would just charge and show an animation of battery charging.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digi_fort:
Yup just shows the green battery charging GIF just like non-rooted stock

hey sorrry i dont know how to make a nandroid backup on my samsung i9100

i have these info

PDA : i9100JPKJ2

PHONE : I9100XXKI4

now when i enter to cwm and click reboot to recovery and the phone reboot to it i don't have any backup option :( what should i do to make a nandroid backup for my original rom. please help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
First of all you don't need to flash a CF kernel and root with superoneclick. CF root does everything for you in one go. Now that you have clockwork reboot into recovery and about half way down you will see backup and restore, chose this option and then backup... This is your backup nandroid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mido_love_maker:
i didnt have a backup restore option at all i know what you want but really i didnt have that option this is not my first time to make backup and flash roms because i had sony x8 and i can make backups and restore with cwm on it but in the Samsung s 2 i cant because i didnt find backup option please help sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
The option should be there under backup and restore, try searching for cwm manager I think it's in the cf root thread somewhere. Cwm manager has an option to backup and restore.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Root + CWM .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mayanks_098:
you do not have CWM recovery. when you go into recovery, it must say "2e" or "3e" recovey. Thats sammy's recovery. Use CWM app (look in the installed apps list) to install CWM recovery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Read the fn instructions on the cwm link I posted.

If you cannot understand don't root .Buy another phone .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mido_love_maker:
I think my kernel is jpkj2 so i flashed CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEF_KJ2-v5.0-CWM5 which is came with cwm 5 and i can do backups now yeeeeeeeeeeha =D now can you tell me which is best rom of normal use and maximum battery life and best kernel should i flash =)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
I would recommend checkrom revolution v4, it has a kitchen with lots of themes, mods and other bits. Bastista is also a good alternative. Both are good on battery life. I would also recommend siyha kernel, which is the best in my opinion.

The best thing to do though is have a look around and get a feel for what suits your taste/needs.

Enjoy your new found freedom.

There was a $50 off coupon for Verizon a while ago. It was being sold for $25 which means $25 of real savings, but money is money. Basically like a free case.

I'm glad this thread is here because I have a dopey question.

I'm currently with sprints family plan and am very happy with Sprint, besides no 4G.

What is the average cost a month for a single plan with just about minimal everything but internet?

I'm thinking of getting a whole new line mostly for this phone but for 4G also.

I went to Verizon.com on my tab and phone and its a headache to find an answer. I figured my xda bros would have an answer because I'm GETTING this phone and not waiting for Sprint. ;)

Thanks guys! See you when this phone is launched in NY. :)
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
I have had my XL for a few weeks, kept mostly in the pocket. Today I have noticed a nasty hairline scratch on the display. It was left on the counter face down a few times but so were my considerably older Sensation and EVO 3D and not a mark on them. Looks like HTC ran out of Gorillas for the XL...

Anyway I would suggest to proceed with caution and use a screen protector at least.

Input from other XL owners re display glass durability would be appreciated.
[HTC Sensation XL] yohanpra:
Yeah I had the same problem, I wear a earring and after answering a call I noticed a small scratch on the glass as well, I've used a lot of phones and this has never happened to me before, not happy about it, guess its my fault I should have put a protector on before this happened oh well
[HTC Sensation XL] EliteTiger86:
I left my sensation xl face down on my work desk in order to find what I could only describe as random scratches on this devices screen. I'm tending not too be too bothered about this phone now as I really preferred my GS2. This doesn't seem as good as the hype shop owners built up for it and I can't wait until some immense phones are released next year
[HTC Sensation XL] Aldaya:
Yup my phone was dropped on a rubber carpet from 0,5 m height and then on the floor and sadly the glass got broken even though the frame didnt get any scratches what so ever. I thought Sensation XL had Gorilla Glass and I found out the hard way that HTC forgot to put it on..?
[HTC Sensation XL] mndgz:
XL is turning out to be a major disappointment with it's gorilla-less display glass, low resolution and lack of a memory card slot. Other than that it would be a dream phone.
[HTC Sensation XL] mr1029x:
Well to be honest, mine has no prob with the scratches at or, I even tried to add the pressure on the screen with a pocket knife. But thank anyway for the warning, buying a screen protector...
[HTC Sensation XL] D.Rigby:
Yeah I too have been a victim of this non-gorilla glass idea they seem to of liked for the Sensation XL? O.o ... even though the screen is one of the biggest on the market, but is left vulnerable with standard glass :\

I dropped mine from around 2feet, it landed face first as it is front heavy and as I picked it up I revealed the small cracks which later have grew into bigger cracks.

Annoying thing is, I have looked everywere too get hold of a new glass and can't seem too find one? Any help would be much appreciated. I would send it too Three (my contract provider), but they said it could cost up too £100 and if I decline the offered repair charge the would charge me a default fee of £20.

Not happy at all.
[HTC Sensation] Jboo:
Is it possible to flash a radio that supports HSPA 850 band for the Sensation 4G? I haven't gotten the phone as yet but it has already been shipped, and I noticed it supports 900/1700/2100 HSPA but not 850 band.
[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
Pretty sure that's not possible, you'll need the Telsus version of the Sensation if you want 850. You intend to use it on At&t you will need a Telsus version.
[HTC Sensation] zcucurullo:
So basically this is a hardware issue, theres no way of flashing a bell or telsus radio to a t-mobile sensation to get 850 band for 3g?
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Yes it is a hardware limitation. But check your sensation data sheet if it shows 1900/850, 2100/900 MHz, then it is a world phone. It can be used.

I had similar problem with inspire 4g which has 1900/850 Mhz radio. It is incompatible for the 3g band used in India. I sold it back.

[General Questions and Answers] Viber Team:
Well,

Viber does not officially support ICS yes (let alone flashing to an ICS ROM, which may cause even more problems).

My best suggestion to you is to simply wait for our upcoming version 2.1.3 (coming to Market hopefully within the next several weeks) that will support ICS, and try it out on your Tab.
[Nook Color General] yondchang:
After root my color with CM7, it constantly gets "Android.process.media" or "Android.process.vending" error whenever I click market. I tried everything I can find in the forum and still no luck, e.g. delete cache, reset etc. Then I updated my clockworkmod recovery to latest version 3.2.0.1, and install CM7 and market again through clockworkmod recovery, it finally works!

I found if you are using the old clockworkmod recovery, after wipe data/factory reset, you get stuck and have to hard reboot. Yet with the latest clockworkmod recovery, you do not have this issue.

P.S. to those of you who can not get into clockworkmod recovery, it may be you have too many partitions.

P.S. I followed this link to update clockworkmod recovery.

EDIT: I also tried VZW first, because it would have been quicker, but they directed me to Amazon.

So they send one first... Have the replacement phones been without flaw or is it the same gamble. Might be better to wait the 30 days and use Verizon so I can check it...
