[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rankoradza:
Hey ppl... I'm having trouble about instaling ( I don't know eaven what will get with it, but never mind :D )

I have Galaxy SII and i will write you all you need..

Android version : 2.3.3

Baseband version : I9100XXKE7

Karnel version : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555 root@DELL101 #2

Build number : GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

So the question is how can i put latest version, i saw latest version is 2.3.7 ( but i am from Montenegro, next to Serbia... so does that have anything to do with it? )...

If some1 can copy me few links, so I can download it, or just write some short explanation, I would be grateful :D

Consider that I don't know a **** about phones but i am quick learner.. i root it, and got cvm i think it's 4.0 v.... or whatever :/ I lost guarantee from Mobile operator when i root my phone or no??

and what is this syah karnel, i need to download it?

And what about that i will losse all data if i update to 2.3.7 ? i should use tit back up? and how? :O

Sorry for questing that much but :D help is needed :p

From here i should update to 2.3.7 ?

And why is every room [ROM][XWKK5] and not for example KE7 ( mine version ) ? :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rankoradza:
a

remove this, i update to 2.3.7 :) uhh finally thnx to <langthang> :D
[General Questions and Answers] awakephd:
One more noob question while I'm at it. Running Nexus HD2 on SD on HTC HD2. Data image only is 256 MB. How do I increase it?

As noted in another post, I've searched ... but can't limit my searches to get a useful subset.
[General Questions and Answers] awakephd:
Hmm ... I may have found the answer. There is a setting in the startup.txt file. Now the question is whether it only works to change it on the first boot, or whether it will work retroactively.
[HTC Rezound] smartbusiness2003:
If you or anyone else wants to get PHENOMENAL battery life of let's say 15 hours of use and still have 40%-50% battery left on a regular stock battery on the Rezound, just follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings - Power - Power mode Choose "Economy"

2. Back at Power options, Click on "Economy mode setting" I left the setting as "Normal" which means that the only box that was unchecked was "Disable background data"

3. Back at Settings, Click on "Accounts & sync" Uncheck the "Auto-Sync" box, but leave the "Background data" box checked.

4. Using whatever Screen Brightness tool you want to, set the screen brightness to no more than 20%. The only exception to this is if you are out in the sun and really need to see your screen while in the sun (navigation or etc...). Other than that, I never need it to be brighter than 20%.

5. Because of these changes, you will have to manually "Refresh" your email app to check for new mail. Other than that, everything data wise should work as normal.

I always have my 4G LTE and GPS on and ever since I did this, I have been getting RIDICULOUS battery life! This best it has been is when I charged it completely and unplugged it at 10pm and the next day around 1pm I still had 62% battery left. On a normal basis where I take it off the charger at 8am, with normal use (3 hrs of music, 1 or 2 of web surfing and video watching, 1 hour of phone calls, and Google Talk and Google Voice and GMail all day *literally*) I have about 50% battery left at 7pm.

Disclaimer: I have "Bump Charged" my battery before making these changes. However, I never saw this type of battery life until I made the above changes. Also, if you constantly watch video (Youtube or etc..) you will not see quite this performance, but it will still be much better than what you are currently experiencing.

Enjoy :D
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Turn off data and you can get multiple days on battery ;)
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Screen Filter

You can also use the app Screen Filter to turn off the bottom row of leds.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
So you have an extended battery then? If so, might be good to include that info in your post just to be clear. Not that that wouldn't help any battery, but the stats will make more sense and the answers to your poll may be more accurate since people might think their results aren't as good as yours if they're using a regular battery.

I'll change my settings and try it since I don't need instant notification of emails atm. Thanks for the tip.
[HTC Rezound] BBEgo:
When I change the power setting to Economy, I lose 4G.

I am eager to try this, but I gotta have my 4G. Any suggestions??
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
Turn it back to 4g in network settings

sent from my new Rezound
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
You can bump charge the normal battery as well.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
So what exactly do the power modes do? Are they just presets for certain settings? or do they control CPU scaling or anything else? I've always just left mine on normal with auto sleep enabled

Edit: I also wonder what affect the "auto start task manager on startup" option does exactly, and if having that on improves battery life, or if it is referring to the task manager in the notification bar quick settings
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
i just downloaded this as app, and it made me fall on love with my phone again lol. The only time i could ever see the light leakage on my phone was at night when reading Tapatalk. Now i can dim the screen and turn of the LEDs with the app. Ugh amazing
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Screen Filter info

I used that app for quite sometime on my Incredible when I ran a sense rom (cm7 allowed me to set the buttons leds off on its own).

Fyi though, when screen filter is active, I am unable to install an app. When you go to install an app, and you are on the screen that shows the permissions with the install button on the lower right, I have been unable to click the install button with screen filter running. I just run screen filter again to deactivate it and the install goes fine, then I just run screen filter again to get it running again.

It's a hassle, but a small price to pay to get those led's off if you dont want / need them.
[HTC Rezound] smartbusiness2003:
I am not using an extended battery. I am using the regular stock battery that came with the phone. This is stated in the first sentence of the original post.

Correct
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Oh, I see I missed that in your post, sorry. The thread that explains bump charging makes it sound like it's only for extended batteries so I had that idea in my brain when reading it.

Carry on. :)
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
I am curious about this as well... I know the kernel supports multiple governors for CPU scaling.

I am also not sure what the task manager is that it refers to. It might just start the app in the background.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
No one know?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I guess not :-(
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
Beginning to think the biggest hindrance to good battery life for me is poor signal strength at work in the hospital. Here's a screen shot for me today at home and running around so a combo of wifi and good 4g. Extended battery.
[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
Tap the graph and it shows a bar that shows signal strength over time. That would help to figure it out.
[HTC Rezound] jski711:
I just use the extended battery and have everything set to high performance and can easily get though the day. Good tips though.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
what's that icon with the green circle from? Wondering if it's something cool that I need to put on my phone. :)
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
The youmail Icon?
[HTC Rezound] Thermionics:
Underclocking with temp root using SetCPU = ++ battery life.

I have been doing all of the things suggested in this thread to improve battery life but have found that underclocking with SetCPU makes the biggest difference. I set max to 918 Mhz and minimum to 648 Mhz and use the Powersave governor. The improvement is huge. There is no perceivable lag with minimum speed set to 648 and the phone is still very responsive. Quadrant score is about 1,500 at these settings.

Big improvements are going to come with AOSP ROMs. My T'bolt had awesome battery life with AOSP ROMs going from 236 running processes stock to 85 with AOSP. Combined with similar scaling and underclocking as on the Rezound more than doubled my battery life.

S off and permanent root please!
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
doesn't this require you rooting after every reboot?
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I thought someone had a root method that lasted through reboots. Jcase or someone? Not sure if they released a stable process though
[HTC Rezound] smartbusiness2003:
Agreed. Now that we can unlock the phone, all of these tweaks can be permanent. Also, I found that it is possible to Overclock and Undervolt or just Keep the Standard CPU Clock Speeds and Undervolt to achieve better battery performance.

Has anyone tested the [KERNEL][SENSE] Ziggy471 Vigor GB Kernel that can be Overclocked to 1836mhz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OFWGKTADGAF:
Hello, This is my first time flashing a galaxy s2. I have flashed a captivate and an x10 but thats it and i followed a walkthrough.

can someone please post step by step instructions on how to install a custom rom for stock.

so i need help rooting, getting cwm, and installing the rom, and kernel.

also its a rogers version if that means anything.

also can you answer some questions?

1. Is it possible to install a ROM without voiding my warranty (tripping the counter)

2. is it worth it to oc?

3.what rom would you suggest? i dont need insanely good battery life. its performance over battery. but i do need it to last through at least a day of moderate usage.

The folks on XDA are AWESOME!!

I still haven't tried a different ROM, but I'll get there! :-)

One more thing, on my phone to get it into down load mode, it was press Volume DOWN ONLY and power.... NOT Pressing both volume up and down.

Volume DOWN + Power... ONLY!!

thanks for the reply. ill take a look at that thread
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatemich:
Is there any way to turn it off?

MIUI don't have this option like CM7 or Samsung based.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
I also use Miui & the softkey leds being constantly on was also driving me mad. The workaround I found goes like this:-

Go into settings/display & make sure auto brightness is checked. Then go into advanced mode/edit other levels. Underneath the first two settings for "buttons" you'll have the values 255. Change these both to 0, then hit save settings at the top of that screen.

Once you've done that, if you're someone who uses auto brightness this should kill the soft leds for good. If you're like me & have your brightness on the lowest possible setting most of the time to save battery, you need to uncheck auto brightness. Then reboot your phone.

Once you reboot, the softkey leds should be gone, and will only return if you turn auto brightness on. If you do that & they reappear, go thru the steps again to get rid of them.

Let me know if this works for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihatemich:
Thank you. Working perfectly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You're welcome ;) Excellent.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
Today i noticed a crazy drain my my battery than previously recorded.

Here's a TL;DR except from a battery meter report.

2011 Dec 20 07:28:50	1324402130	72

2011 Dec 20 10:03:50	1324411430	61

2011 Dec 20 12:33:51	1324420431	30

Based on this, the 2.5 hours from 7.30 till 10.00 the batter lost 11% charge from 10.00 till 12.30 also about 2.5 hours, the battery lost 31% charge. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this today (or recently) and has any advice on what i can check for.

The only app i know of that updated today was Google+. Has anyone experienced today's update being more of a battery hog? If so, is there a way to downgrade?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I'm seeing the same thing on mine, horrid battery life the last couple weeks (stock rooted). Not sure what app is doing it cause I don't use G+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
Thanks for the reply. Darn. I was hoping on something easy to blame... especially since i knew i updated that app today. but yeah.. 30% in 2.5 hours is pretty unacceptable... especially when i've gone 24+ hours on a charge before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Oh mine has always been piss poor, it's just seemingly worse lately (and I haven't run the new att update.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
Someone else suggested that the Facebook App might have activated the GPS and left it running. I'll have to play with that and see i guess. Make sure the GPS is off and test the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nagy07:
I wish i could go 24 hours on a charge, current battery, 4h 49m - dislay 50% 1h 11m and phones been charged a few times probably 45 mins charge. Now at 16% that's usual too... idk if its a straight talk thing or what but its ridiculous, first android phone and i miss my iphone 4's battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cornfruit:
I have been running the latest Unnamed, and it was running perfectly until I actually installed and ran a BLN app (though I was also running Llama, a location-based profile modifier.) Started from scratch with a fresh Unnamed, and battery life is back to normal...10h batery, 58% remaining, display 41%, Android OS 30%. It was either BLN or Llama causing Android OS to take the majority of my battery...I assume a wakelock issue but I did not do any further investigation.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssmug:
I've also been experiencing horrible batter life lately (bought it 3 weeks ago). I'm at 18% after not even 10 hours. 20 minutes of calls, 15-20 texts or so, 3 email accounts. Bluetooth on for a couple hours during my commute.

I'm stock and unrooted (until I decide for sure I'm keeping the phone).

I uninstalled Facebook, NoLED, Skype, turned of Hotmail calendar sync and GPS as per the battery life post.

I have Google on autocync for gMail and Calendar

66% in Deep Sleep.

I do run Executive Assistant (<2%), but it's way too useful for me not to use it.

I was getting ~20 hours last week. If anything, I've ostensibly made changes for better battery life. I have no idea what's going on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
I read that thread or at least part of it when i first got my phone .)

Main reason i asked separately was because the battery drain just suddenly got x3 worse than what i'm more used to. I kind of panicked. Will try and do soem further testing as time allows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Caliesv:
Did everyone here w a battery drain do the recent att update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryusen:
I updated this past weekend. No issues till today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssmug:
This started happening a few days before the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] axis01:
If you haven't already, download better battery stats to see if there are any offending apps or wakelocks that are causing the excessive drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ssmug:
Yep, did that (awesome app, BTW). The one that took up the most time was the bluetooth PBAP, but it was 2 hours which is my roundtrip commute to work. Nothing else seemed to take up a significant amount of time other than the sver stuff. Although I guess those small things add up. I think NoLED was a huge culprit. People seem to love it, but perhaps I set it up wrong. I'd like to re-install FB and see if it really wasn't that big of a battery hog.

Anyway, after uninstalling those apps I mentioned above, I'm at 90% after 5-1/2 hours. Yesterday around this time I was probably somewhere around 60%. I'm still using Executive Assistant for 3 email accounts with frequent autopulls, active sync for Gmail and Google Calendar, and a few phone calls. I didn't go to work today, so that's 1 less hour of BT for the morning, and I've cut down onmy screen time but it's still a huge improvement. :)

I just may keep this phone after all. :D

GOOD NEWS EDIT:

I'm at a little over 24hrs with 43% left! Granted, I curbed my use to try and get a hold of what was going on with my battery: 30 min of calls, only 45 min of screen time, and a boatload of texts.

I realize the screen time is minimal, but it's an amazing improvement on my idle drain, which was the biggest problem. My phone actually goes into deep sleep! I forgot to check the % before I went to bed, but in the past, if I didn't plug in my phone at night with at least 30% charge, it was usually dead in the morning, or with single digit %s.

As far as I can tell, the culprit seemed to be NoLED. (Not trying to slam it or anything, because it's a cool program, but I'm pretty certain that was the issue.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sd0070:
When I'm on a home screen and I rotate the device to make the screen rotate to landscape, the screen automatically jumps to whatever screen has the calendar widget on it. Why???? This is extremely frustrating!

This thing has never actually worked for me, every app I use still has ads even after I registered and updated my ad free. I reboot and super user grants ad free on the boot up but ads are still on all my apps.

Does this thing actually work or just blowing smoke
[HTC EVO 3D] Riff76:
Used to work but not much anymore. The individual apps are using their own ad servers now. I find that Ad Away works a little better, give it a shot

[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
Yeah i tried both but no luck LOL was trying to get ubersocial without ads but looks like they making you pay now
[HTC EVO 3D] lchupacabras:
Try "adaway" it seems to work better in the US than the ol' adfree. (At least for me.)

I just noticed someone else posted this already above me; don't use both as that can cause neither to work (for whatever reason). Also, you CAN edit your hosts file manually and that -DOES- work. You can even look up custom mobile ad-free host files that you can work in there. Best of luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] zsibisi:
I'm still using an older version of what used to be ubersocial. Either I always was using a ROM w/ and ad list built in or had been running ad free and I have yet to see any ads. The one I'm currently running is Twitroid 6.03. I stuck with this free version off the market bc I was reading a lot of the reviews about the new updates and I just never bothered with the update. It still works fine and I use it daily...

If interested, I posted up the apk.
