All the people who post pics of the overall view and dont click on "display" to include a picture of your acreen. On time, your post might as well be useless. I could get 5 fricken days on stand by, but who cares. No one should post there "AMAZING USAGE" without a screenie of the display on time aswell. Also most of the people thag did post pics we can tell you never used your phone either. When display is the 2nd or 3rd thing from the top. And your "awake" and "screen on" notches almost never apear next the other ones like "charging", "signal" and such means your phonea been a paper weight for 2 days and nonone cares. My HTC Evo 4g can do stamd by for over a week! But no one gives a **** lol

if you have battery issues give calkins rom a look see.

I don't care about stats or on times etc..

Here is what I do know

I FLAT OUT can not make it through a 12 hours day on one charge stock. even if I hardly every turn the thing on. Period.

today (very light usage maybe total 2 hours "screen on" time.

still at 77%. I am sold I am impressed. I don't even think I am going to use the extended battery now except for extended away from outlet events.

I doubt the "full tilt" run time will change. but the "day to day usage run time is VASTLY improved.

My wife's phone. Data always on. GPS on. Sync on but set to it longest setting. Wifi was on but not connected as we were out all day. I have 2 kids so this is not heavy use but it did get used. Couldn't be happier w this phone. I wish I could get rid of my Nexus s 4g for one.

What do you guys do to calibrate your battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
I have been using Battery Calibration app. I charge to full, power down and charge to full with phone off, unplug and turn phone on, after 10 minutes I plug in and when it gets to full I hit "calibrate"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
According to Entropy, a dev you may have seen around the Galaxy SII forums, the traditional battery calibration by wiping battery stats (which is what the Battery Calibration app does) does absolutely nothing for the Galaxy SII.

It's quite over my head, but as I understand it, the Maxim power management chip and drivers in our phone basically "self calibrate" over time.

Here's some info on it:

On your battery display graph, it really looks like you charged your phone by plugging it either to the wall outlet or via a USB port into your computer. (you do realize that plugging the USB port to your computer charges the phone, right? Sorry, just had to ask).

You can't really get those uphills on your battery graph unless you do so (sometimes though it does get confused if you reboot, but usually not to the magnitude your graph indicates)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] D3M3NT3D_L0RD:
My GS2 was rooted and had CWM before the OTA update. My update kept failing so i reverted to stock with bloatware and 3e recovery, re-rooted, and the OTA went through successfully. Wifi was working before and after, but, when I flashed CWM with Mobile ODIN Pro, my wifi no longer worked. Even reverted back to stock 3e with Mobile ODIN and it still didnt work. Have tested this 3 times with the same results. Has anyone else ran into the same issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] GalaxyMaster:
The only way I was able to fix this was revert to stock 2.3.4 there is a thread somewhere here under rom 2.3.6 by vladm7 that has a wifi fix page 7. It was just easier for me to flash u.named rom

It is possible that it may work for other kernels. There is only a small change to define the wifi device node location. Backup your files by pulling them first before pushing the new ones to try it out. Reboot isn't necessary.

[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2831641:
the only way to activate on sprint would be to swap esn but that is a no no. The only thing bad esn phones are good for is parts and cricket.

Aww.. but will that dfs program help unlocking it or whatever ?
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
You probably won't get a whole lot of info here in a general forum, considering what you're asking is, I'm fairly certain, illegal. Cloning ESN numbers or anything like that won't get you a ton of responses. If you search the General thread, I think there was talk of this before and there was a member who said to PM him. I would suggest going that route.

Totally depends on how big of cojones you have. I would go for glory baby and roll right in the middle.

---------- Post added at 02:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ----------

No problem. The thing with a bad ESN is the previous owner just has bad standing with Sprint, at least, I think that's usually the case. Depending on how much you got the phone for, you might be able to just pay their bill (usually the case) if it's not too much and just add that to the price of the phone. Of course, if you paid too much for a phone with a bad ESN, then you're kind of SOL.

FWIW, I paid $135 for a couple month old Epic with a good ESN just a few weeks ago. Phone was in great shape.

EDIT: If it's a bad ESN because the phone was stolen, then that could get a sticky situation as well...
[Epic 4G General] OmgitzFire:
Oh then nothing good can come from that I understand,

but I also heard something about flashing it to cricket and then I'll be able to use it, is that right ?
[Epic 4G General] hayzooos:
I don't know from personal experience, but from what I've heard, yes. I think you can also go to Boost, but I'm not certain on that either. I know there are guides around here about how to flash your Epic to Cricket, but I'm pretty sure Boost uses Sprint towers too, so you should be able to flash to their network too I would think.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
You can flash it to any prepaid mobile network really but not boost they use esn's as well if you have a bad esn with sprint they can track that.

[Epic 4G General] quick99si:
The Epics activated on Cricket you see for sale on craigslist are largely stolen/reported lost Sprint devices. Galaxy S and S2 are very easy to "repair," hence the availability.

There's no sense in mentioning the legal or moral considerations when the fact remains that this discussion is very much against the forum rules (and when it may not be, the moderator team is quick to shut it down... rightfully so). With that said, take it to Google and off XDA.. that would probably be my best advice.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpankyFantastic:
I'm currently running the virtuousAFFINITY rom and really loving it. Especially the radio. Call quality wise, I found it (the radio) better than cm7 or MIUI. Am I right to believe that each rom also flashes a different radio? My current radio is 26.03.02.26_M with Affinity.

IF that's the case, is it okay for me to flash the radio from AFFINITY over to MIUI.us 1.12.9 w/ DARKSIDE? I was in love with Affinity until I tried MIUI yesterday but a few things had me scratching my head. Like adding a + to all the numbers in my contacts or I couldn't send a text or make a call...I laughed when I figured that out.

The other question regarding MIUI, Lyapota's Music Box 2, I see it mostly included in Sense roms, does this mean it's not compatible with AOSP/CM7 framework based roms? Or can I flash it?

I just rooted my phone last week for the first time, after a few roms and some stumbles, I'm hoping to be able to get my phone perfect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Nope, custom ROMs never contain radios. See the radio thread for instructions on flashing radios. There isn't any connection between how particular ROMs and radio versions interact.

Well I was going to go and set it back to default settings again to compare speeds, but now when I enter the command, nothing happens. So I see no way to change it back.

Well I set some other launchers into default launcher and uninstalled my stock launcher, am I doing that right?

the apps i wanna replace are contacts, sms and maybe dialer.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
You'll have to root then use Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox to uninstall the system apps, making sure you have apps to replace them.

Also, back up everything in case you do something you shouldn't.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkyJoePD:
If you want to have 3rd party apps as stock then I think you have to put the apk in system/app.

There may be an option in one of the apps I mentioned to make user apps into system and vice versa.

[General Questions and Answers] Buckli39:
So i have been looking through the pages, and cannot find anything pertaining to what i am looking for. I am new to ROM's and i cant find a explanation on how to install it, or flash it rather. I saw the part that said installation which has:

- Make sure you're on Gingerbread I897 Bootloaders

- If you are on EXT4, convert back to RFS (disable lagfix)

- Flash a CWM KK4 kernel

- Flash serenity zip file

- First boot takes some time

My phone is a Captivate rooted, and have tried installing roms with ROM manager, to no success because it says to reboot into ClockworkRecovery, but i have followed every instruction in the book to get to CWR but it still takes me to the stock recovery menu.

I have been at this for about two weeks looking at forums and everything to figure out how to do it on my own, but i really have given up because i have no clue.

Thanks in advanced for any advice.

You need Samsung usb drivers.

I ran the bootloader program, went through that, it said:

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

dont know if im doing something out of order, but clicking start in ODIN itself doesnt do anything.

Thanks in advanced!
[General Questions and Answers] p1gnone:
sequence:

1.Run the Odin with built in bootloader code.

2. Phone in DL mode

3. Attach to USB. Odin will then get a yellow box indicating some com port.

Yellow com port box or it will do nothing! Perhaps you ran Odin with the phone already in DL mode & usb connected?

Sequence matters: If you used adb to get into DL then with Odin already open it should recognize it [20 seconds?]. I use a jig from MobileTechVideos $7 to get into DL, only then I usb connect to PC with Odin already running/waiting. Using adb is functionally equivalent. As the phone reboots it is not actually "connected". Once the reboot to DL happens the connection to PC is restored.

My Odin/Bootloader one-click program reports: " <ID:0/012> Added " with a yellow box with " 0:[COM12] "

4. choose Start. A green bar progress will indicate the 'progress'. It will reboot the phone.

5. You can close Odin after the "all thread completed", it will indicate a reset. Safest to wait for the reset/reboot.

It should have read: <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)

This is just as directed on the link to the Bootloader one-click program [odin variant]

You only need the basic Odin[1.85] when flashing the Corn 6.03 tar file. In theory if one had the tar file for the bootloaders one could use the basic Odin for it, but here the bootloaders are already packaged in with an Odin executable.
[General Questions and Answers] Buckli39:
okay, so i did exactly the sequence you told me, run odin/bootloader, phone into DL, then connect to usb.

I do not get the yellow com port until after i turn my phone off, out of DL mode, and back into reg mode. then it recognized it and says "Added!". i go back into DL mode and it says its disconnected ( i also waited 20 min just to make sure it didnt come back as added )

And you had said "Once the reboot to DL happens the connection to PC is restored." it is exactly the opposite, once it reboots to DL the connection seems to be severed.

If i hit start when it is present and not in DL mode but has the yellow com, it just fails anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] p1gnone:
Connecting when in Normal use mode will always have Odin responding Yellow/ComPort. And yes Start will do nothing unless in DL.

I tested my sequence. Odin/Bootloaders running, PC: adb reboot download, and it did fine giving YellowBox/ComPort. Never usb disconnecting physically, only functionally as it reboots. So I dont know. I do know that sometime DL mode goes stale. Phone unresponsive if one does not take fairly prompt action. That is I cannot put in DL and put aside for 5min. If I had to do this then I would need reboot into DL again.

For the Kernel you can transfer the Corn6.03 [zip CWM version] file to some directory in the internal SD card [ not the one inserted by "you"]

Then you could use "adb reboot recovery" but the stock recovery is very limited, and it wont let you flash the kernel in recovery. Unless you first save a CWMR 3 file as update.zip on the internal sd. This was how you rooted? There is some reason stock recovery forces you to do the flash from update twice, the second time puts you in the CMW3 program[green menu, no longer blue?] where you can then flash the kernel. Look for old links/threads to the old CWM zip file.

Let me get back to you on the BLs & perhaps a link to the old CWM3.
