[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I'm not sure if this is from rooting, but I had been getting duplicate emails. One via the native email app, and one via gmail.

Gmail still works fine. But a little while ago, I had a look at the native app and my addresses were blank?

tried setting it up again... it tries to connect, but I get a "failed to connect" message? It's not the end of the world or anything, but any ideas?

Oh yeah, Hope every one has a GREAT CHRISTMAS & Holidays!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Hope everyone had a great Christmas/Holidays!

O.k. not sure if I'm getting the "go figure it out your self" but I've checked; settings, wireless, APN, & it's blank? So I tried entering the info found here

APN - ltemobile.apnProxy - <not set>Port - <not set>Username- <Not set>*Passwors - <not set>Server < not set>MMSC -*http://mms.gprs.rogers.comMMS - proxy 10.128.1.69MMS - Port 80MMS protocol - Wap 2.0MCC - 302MNC - 720Aythentication type - < not set>*APN type - either "*" or "internet + mms" Should work

I saved it, but when I went back to check, it was blank again?

what I don't get, is that data & gmail work fine. It's just that I can't connect to the native email? I don't know if anything was in the apn settings before I rooted my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Anyone... I'd just like to understand, how absolutely everything, other than the native email app works... tethering, gmail, browser, phone.... But there's NOTHING in apn?

Usually you can buy unlock codes for samsung phones pretty easy. Search the internet and you'll find a service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phillybizzle:
If you have a code where you enter it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kam187:
most GN are not locked. Try another sim from a different provider and it should ask you for a code. If not, its not locked!

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nicregi:
Hi all,

I am curious on this matter. My tab seems to be running about 450-550 ram usage even when there is zero application running. Still on stock rom and is rooted though. Is this normal?

I think to have the bar 3/4 filled up without usage is something too much right?
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] poisike:
This is normal. Android keeps apps in ram even when you are not using them. Don't worry about this, Android is good at managing ram. If you want to know why it is like that, then google it and you will find many good explanations.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] bdfull3r:
Android, mobile OS's in general, are use RAM in a much more efficient way then desktop computers.

Programs are kept in the RAM so when they are relaunched they can resume from the last point. When a program requires more RAM then is available, instead of throwing up an insufficent memory error like computers, it just removes the longest stagnent programs from the RAM
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] nicregi:
Hey all!! Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it and thank you. Merry X'mas all!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PCweber:
I have had many smart phones. This one by far has the largest screen and the smallest status bar. I have a battery app that displays actual % in an icon on the status bar. I can barely read it and have to focus hard. The status bar size seems overly small when coupled with such a huge screen. Is there any way or app that allows increasing the bar size and icons in it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
I'm having the same problem. Doesn't bother me much, though.

I would assume that changing the DPI (if you have a rooted phone) would do the trick. If not, perhaps increasing the font size would help, but I'm not sure about that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nerotix:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] husher:
So I got my transformer, but the android market place isn't the tablet version it's the cellphone version. I tried clearing the app's cache ect, but it's still the cellphone version.

I've searched the asus section looking for others with the same issue but couldn't find anything.

Does anybody know a fix?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
Unfortunately, there was a recent market update that brought the tablet version into line with the handset version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husher:
would pushing a .apk of the proper marketplace do something wrong to the tablet? i haven't rooted yet. i was going to wait until ICS from asus comes out and see their efforts first. however i'd understand if i was told i need to be rooted to get the proper market
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
you need to be rooted then push the market.apk and the myapps.apk(or something like it dont remember the exact name) to system/app
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JaiaV:
You would also have to disable the market's auto-update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
FYI, we have every reason to believe all the updates are coming out to lead us to an impending ICS update.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] husher:
i would hope so i read asus said they where.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Asus's chairman said that ICS might come to us before the end of the year. Now that we haven't heard anything about it, I'm convinced we won't get it till early next year.

I know Im posting this everywhere, but I'm kinda desperate here...

Help! Im getting like 4 to 5 hours of battery life in my phone, I dont know if my battery is damaged or something, guys please help!

I dont know if Im doing anything wrong, I can't seem to fix this thing! how can I tell if my battery has a problem?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheManicGibbon:
The NexusBeam ROM is based on stock ICS 4.0.3. This is the same update that has been pulled by Google for issues regarding WiFi, CPU spikes and massive battery usage.

I wouldn't worry about your battery - it is most likely connected to the problems that people are experiencing with stock ICS 4.0.3.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
What should I do then?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fightingroost12:

if you want one for the original nexus s then i would use peter alfonso's ics rom

Whoa, I would try the following things.

1. UV a little more

2. Change governor and maybe increase min clock speed

3. Disable deep idle

4. Change rom

If none of those work, lemme know.

I am not kidding with #4. That does help a lot

So yeah , try Pete's rom haha

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctai320:
This might seem stupid, but is your phone new? Did this happen after you upgraded to ics? 4 hours is kind of short. Your battery might be dead. I've had that happen before.

What's the screen on time?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soy_Filipo:
What do you mean?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
From the pictures, I'm not really surprised. Your screen was on for at least half the time. Your wifi was on constantly and your phone was active nearly the whole time, even when the screen was off. Constant wakelocks, heh.

If I was you, I'd check and disable facebook notifications or any other "syncing" features in other apps (gmail, contacts, etc), or at least space them instead of having them each 15 minutes like your activity graph is showing.

Try disabling auto rotation too, because there's a bug with it that makes the CPU spike.

Try reducing the screen brightness if you haven't already done so.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeef:
I have the same problem, I used to get more 10-16 hours when I used to use 2.3

now after manual update to ICS stock I can't get more than 5 hours with the same usage.

I tried 3.0.13 kernal and not that much of improvement too

Android OS always the top user

for example on 17% now, 54% for Android OS

how of 6 hours and 25 min Android OS is awake 5h 42m
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nodstuff:
Lower the screen brightness if it is high.

Disable auto-rotation.

Go to accounts and sync and uncheck anything you don't need.

Get rid of Facebook as is mentioned before because constant syncing doesn't help.

Edit: how much oc? Stock voltages?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amasunka:

Good luck with your!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeef:
I had the problem on the stock ROM and IML74k one

Same issues, Android OS always awake and for more time than the actual " running on battery " time

On IML74k and after a factory reset things got a little better

Android OS consumed 27% when I was on 71% battery

1m51 s usage

and keep awake was 41m10s out of 41m 37s

I used CPU spy, more than 60% was on 1000 state

deep sleep is only 3%

It's very different of what I used to have on GB, where I rarely hit the 1000MHz state
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Everyone, well most people love this phone except the screen! While its still a great screen it just has some weird things goin on with it that you notice immediately cause your not use to it, though i dont notice it at all anymore.

I wanted to give this phone some credit for the fact that i keep the brightness OFF and can still easily see even in the sunlight! That's a very first for me! And i LOVE it for battery reasons.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Low isnt really low, there are apps that can drop it much lower

[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
The screen definitely isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. Coming from an EVO 4G, the screen is definitely an improvement.

Although some would argue the Epic Touch 4G screen is superior, and it is in some ways, the over saturated colors on it are more off-putting to me than the Photon's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
:(

i dont mind/care about pentile so thats a non-issue.. however i miss the bright vibrant colors of a samoled.. its one of the reason why the razr is possibly my fav phone on the market :)

p.s. to anyone who thinks we have nothing going on.. go check them out.. they dont have a stock sbf, no unlock, no roms, no kernels, no cwm, no way to restore back to anything.... oh and they have a leaked ota that has now locked a lot of people onto it which means without a way to write crap they CANNOT get future otas....

lol imagine you were so eager for the first bug fix ota that due to rushing/leaks it prevented you from being able to get the ics ota ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
I dont mind about the pentile either, i beARLy ever notice it, i mean i did at first but even then i was like.. still very good screen for a phone and never bothered me
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
It is for this reason that my first mission was to figure out why RSD lite wasn't working on my computer, and had to find aa way to get back to stock before doing anything else ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I personally like the Pentile - accurate colors, bright and good outdoors. I've tried really hard, but my eyes just do not see the screen door effect on (at least) my particular device.

And - I was very prepared to hate it when I first walked in the store, after reading reviews

The Sammy screens get lots of mention because they have overly-saturated colors (similar to the effect you get when you turn a digital camera to its "Vivid" setting). And lots of people like artifical over-saturation..... As an amateur photog, I prefer accurate color rendition.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheChronicDroid:
Exactly! Ive even read some reviews saying its slightly better than the amoled screen and i got a widget that would actually turn the brightness all the way down (cause stock doesnt as joker mentioned) and i can still see it perfectly with the sunlight facing it! I like the pentile screen all around, on hd games/movies it performs flawlessly. As you said, almost perfect colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InsightGoalie:
With this phone and ICS they added in a feature for device encryption. Would this hamper the use of recoveries? Will nandroid and flashing still work, or will the phone just see a bunch of cipher text nonsense? I'm guessing it would ask for the pin to decrypt the phone before it even boots into the recovery menu, but it's not something I wanted to test personally...

Ok, I installed 2.3.6 from AT&T and my bettery life has tanked.

Batter Usage shows the Android OS at 93%!!!

Not using my phone, it is dead in about 7 hours.

Kernel Version

2.6.35.7

Build Number

GINGERBREAD.UCKK6

I am not rooted and dont want to root.

HELP!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
You have an app that is driving data to your phone, causing the wifi chip to wake the phone all the time. Apparently a system app - a lot of people have been having this issue with KK6.

Beyond this - sorry, but if you are not rooted you will have to live with it. Identifying what is triggering the wifi interrupts requires obtaining a Wireshark capture, this is not possible without root. Even if a common root cause is found for what's going on with KK6, it's most likely in /system itself so can't be fixed without a custom ROM or at least rooting.

If you're not willing to root, why are you on a firmware developer forum? Have AT&T help you instead if you're on 100% bone stock unrooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] chocodough:
Well if it's an APP causing it, then many many people must be running the same app cause all of the various forums out there are a lot of people with the battery drain after updating to 2.3.6. Even a lot of my customers have mentioned it also.

I doubt it is an APP doing it. I'd bet it is just some bad coding on Samsung's part. They are probably getting a lot of complaints and are most likely already looking into it.

As far as the why he is here if he doesn't root. Well I don't root as well and have no desire to being as stock works just great. (other than the battery drain)

This is a great place to hang out and keep up on other people using various phones. He posted in the General section, not the Developer's section for this phone. So I think his/her question was valid.

If he was asking the question in the Developers section I would understand your concern. But I don't feel you have to be into cooked ROMS to value this forum.

That's like saying to the people who like the "Fast and the Furious" moves to stop watching them because they have a Chevy and not a pimped up Civic. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] envioustitan08:
I'm not rooted with wifi on all the time just got the phone 3 days ago and I'm getting 14-15hrs with no issue down to about 15-20% battery life left before I have to stick back on charger. Could be a bad battery or device, I'm coming over from Sprint after using rooted evo3d and rooted photon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The forum is called xda-DEVELOPERS.com

If you don't want to root, you're probably better off in the AT&T support forums, because honestly, it isn't worth our time to try and help someone who doesn't want to root fix a problem that is almost sure to require root access to fix, or in this case, even diagnose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] browncarpet:
I do believe many are having this issue after upgrading to kk6 (with same apps installed). I had the issue as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
May be a system app, or something in /system causing an app to become unhappy.

Either way, it's not going to get fixed without Shark for Root captures from those encountering problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bkeaver:
I don't think it anything to do with KK6. As Entropy said its an app causing a wake lock. I'm run Ingram KK6 without any issues with battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
Having this issue as well. Phone is stock. Ive been here since the captivate but I hang around with the sgs2. Never needed to root this phone as it works perfectly for me. But I did the update this morning at 100% charge and 9 hours later with no use it's down to 9%. I could go all day with moderate use and be at 30-40% by the time I go to bed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] browncarpet:
I read on a rather long on a google forum that many had this issue after upgrading via ota but who knows. I found that wiping dalvik and flashing unnamed update again I have much better batter life. I did read in update that he reverted to an earlier kernel signature to fix the battery drain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NascarFastcar:
Im going back to 2.3.4 via this method.

http://galaxys2root.com/att-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777/

Losing 10% of my battery at idle /hour is ridiculous lol. Android os was at 87+% within 3 hours of restart.

Edit:

Okay so I did this method. Took about 5 mins after I got everything downloaded. I did not do the factory reset since it's not needed. Phones back to 2.3.4 and nothing was reset. Have all my sms's contacts, aps, wallpapers etc. Battery seems to be back to normal.

I recommend everyone who did that 2.3.6 update to revert back. To many problems with it.

I never entered download mode on this phone before. Just a tip: Keep holding all the buttons till the phone seems like it shuts off and keep holding them till you get into download mode. Do not let go or else it just powers off.
