in idle state the wifi draws MUCH more power than 3G for me (i lose around 5-10% per hour, not only with SGS2, also with my old Desire). idle on 3G is much more power efficient.

transferring data is another story, wifi has advantages there i think...
[Galaxy S II General] GFXi0N:
In the market it appears as "the clock of ICS " : we have ICS, so I thought it was already part of our rom.... so, it isn't? Kind of confusing.....
[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:
It really really shouldn't be that way.

When there are no wakelocks, wifi is more power efficient that data every time.
[Galaxy S II General] lrbpereira:
More than one person complain about not been able to connect gprs on the widget or even on the network definitions.

I having the same problem. Have to switch a lot between 2g and 3g to get a grps connection, and this never happend before... normally if thing didn´t work a battery pull was ok for it, but now... nothing...

---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------

Yep broken data, not being able to connect gprs... More than one person have that issue on the last nightly...

HTC ONE X... tegra3 sould be a big plus!? And not a downer... And it has a design :)))

SGS3 same GPU as this one, we will have a toaster or a microwave oven all over again... Don´t understand crappy sammy!

Next GDevice will take almost a year to get out, at that time SGS2 will value for the same as a Samsung Ace...

Is there any way to get notifications at the dock for missing calls, sms, mails?
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
Gapps

Do I need to update Google Apps Package at latest version when avaiable or it's sufficients to update trough Google Play? Like Google Play Store's APK I have already updated to the latest version trough Play Store itself. I think i need to update because some other internal updates (Libs?) (APKs and libs updated to 4.0.4 versions where available).

Thanks

The automatic management of brightness really makes me sick. When my phone is in sunny places the screen is barely visible. Sometime it takes 30 sec to increase brightness, but sometimes it just stays dark.

Sadly i'm going back to Samsung rom to have a decent screen adjustment.

Anybody else have this issue?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] hIdd3N-:
sadly, yes, i have the same issue.
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
Me too have this issue :( I've asked some post ago :( Someone have a tips to improve light sensor speed if it's possible?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Install apex launcher PRO
[Galaxy S II General] digeddydogg:
Personally I never have auto brightness enabled, was **** on stock GB and **** on stock ICS. Battery raper too. Worse on CM9. I find the best option is to flash reloaded (1.51) and just use the brightness toggle slide bar In The app drawer. I say 1.51 reloaded because I don't want to theme. I just want the brightness slider.
[Galaxy S II General] TecQuality:

Hi, I noticed a strong battery drain resulting from the stock com.android.email app, as it is producing crazy amounts of wakeups.

After a short search on google I found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253583,

http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/529491-awake-while-sleeping.html

and this http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9307,

which basically says the bug has been present in Android 2.3.x, got fixed there and reintroduced in Android 4.0...

So the question is, could this get fixed in cm9? I'm not a developer of any sort, so I don't know how to track down a problem like this by myself...

Thanks for an absolutely great ROM so far cm9 team! Keep up the awesome work! :)

Something im missing?
[Galaxy S II General] ehrw:
Is there by any miracle a working video recording and hw video playback? :>
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
button backlights have been working fine since 011112 for me
[Galaxy S II General] blair287:
yea video recording is working but my button backlight arnt.
[Galaxy S II General] Bl@ck:
i think is this stuff

http://communities.intel.com/commun...nce-design-2-stage-boot-faster-remote-booting

putting part of the boot files inside a ramdisk and resetting it to trigger a boot
[Galaxy S II General] barrist:
they've stated many times that they need kernel sources for this.
[Galaxy S II General] codeworkx:
not really, but at least you googled, that's fine.

kernel + 1st stage ramdisk + android ramdisk + recovery ramdisk

boot process: bootloaders -> kernel -> 1st stage -> 2nd stage

1st stage decides what we want to do. e.g. boot into android, recovery or lpm.

it's a workaround for the missing recovery partition, or in other words the stupid **** samsung is doing on our phones.
[Galaxy S II General] blair287:
updating to 01172012 will see if they work i dont even get any options for them in settings

Set the sampling interval to 10 sec or 5. Default is 30 seconds. If you set a lower value, auto brightness will change faster.
[Galaxy S II General] alekos panagulis:
I'll try, thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] ikanikolai:
You should change manually the contact pictures on your phone. So much better since I changed the photos on ICS. Saddly you can't do it on the web. The pictures are not in HD but so much better than before.
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
Do u mean under SETTINGS - DISPLAY - AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT - LIGHT SENSOR FILTER - SAMPLE INTERVAL ? Because this is tweakable from 0.5 to 10 sec. You mean the WINDOW LENGHT?

Thanks for reply
[Galaxy S II General] BAWS:
Why can´t I find this setting ?

i've experienced the same issue too, i know it's a nightly build, but if it will be a way (maybe changing some settings?) to improve it's behavior i will be glad to know it :)
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
It's right :( in my device nothing happened changing window lenght. Mine take always 8~10 sec to uppering dim light.

[Galaxy S II General] quorn23:
+1 I have the same issues. about 1500 wakes in 7 hours. Battery at 56%

didn't use my phone much today.

You can clearly see that he uses the email app for exchange, so am i. So your tipp is not of any use.
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
I'm actually on build 0422, all stock (kernel and whatever...).

I have automatic backlighting, made alot of calls, almost always on gtalk with thousands of messages (in and out), data always on (either wifi or 3g when on the street; data off at night-time), some websurfing, some play store application updates, sms...

right now my battery stats says 2days 0hours 27minutes and 13seconds (I can provide a screen if needed) and I have still 24% of juice remaining...

Very pleased with this kind of battery life, cm9 ROCKS!
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Noone like to mention their screen on time lol
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Why wouldn't I?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I tried via terminal but it doesn't work. I want 100 166 267 as gpu clock speeds.

Edit:nvm it worked. Now I am trying to get the script done :). Nightly 25 not laggy anymore yeahh :)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Screen on time 1 hour 34 minutes? Are you serious?? My best was over 7 hours screen on time with a few % left and 1 day and 10 hours on battery (2000 mah)
[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
In my working day I have no time to use the display all that much, I suppose this' not a competition for the longest screen time in a working day.

I'm just stating that for my lifestyle this stats are way more satisfying than what a stock ICS ROM gave me and that I'm happy with the work of this team.

I repeat: this' not a race, otherwise I call myself out as I don't need to race at all.

Cheers

P.S:

Stock battery not 2000mah
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
iJoke lol
[Galaxy S II General] SimboXXX:
Yes. In fact, it will make it slower to change because it will change after filtering rather than from raw light sensor data.
[Galaxy S II General] pabligeno:
Aire you seriuos?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

[Galaxy S II General] Major_Sarcasm:
On the subject of light sensor, I find that turning off the moving average filter makes it a lot better. Only a personal preference though...
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

[Galaxy S II General] Molitro:

[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Why not simply attaching it to your post? And what does this "script" do except change GPU steps?

***Edit*** Nevermind. Nothing that Voltage Control doesn't already do.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
This 'script' is just a text file with a few lines... attached on previous post.
[Galaxy S II General] gasparzim:

[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
Are those values taken from build 0422 and previous?
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
But he can make the file on his own ;P
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Build 22 had only two steps for gpu. I think 166 and 267.
[Galaxy S II General] fede_79:
Me too I'm using 2 exchange account in push and google latitude always tracking my best position. My battery survive not much than 14 hours using sometimes bluetooth, some calls, sms etc. Where can I see right my exchange/email app wake ups? Under Alarms (BetterBatteryStats)? I've 2h since unplugged: 338 com.android.email; 29 com.android.exchange. Here theres someone that survive more than 1 days (I think whithout any exchange push and without latitude background position tracking?).
[Galaxy S II General] quorn23:
Please for the love of god stop commenting on every single post.:)
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Eh, it's such a simple script I don't really mind typing it up. ;) But then again, I have no use for it I noticed. I thought it'd be something more than just modifying GPU steps without touching voltage settings.

My personal experience on GPU steps is if you drop under 100 mhz for step 1, you get some hiccups on UI. So my steps are 100/133/200 and voltages modified accordingly. It really depends on what combo works best for you. Considering I don't do heavy gaming, no point in running different steps in my case. I don't think angry birds needs 267 mhz. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
Sorry next time I'll answer nothing if it's your wish. Kindergarten.
[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I think so too. 200 max should be okay for all :).

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

[Galaxy S II General] ArcticZero:
May I ask what voltages you're running your GPU at for each step? I play a lot of Angry Birds Space while in transit, and I can definitely feel the battery drain quite rapidly. I was hoping this would help reduce that. :) Thanks!
[Galaxy S II General] ererte:
install from market lux auto brightness free and set it to "dynamically", now my screen backlight is perfect... ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Byakuya88:
this change has an impact on the battery ?????
[Galaxy S II General] karendar:
Voltage for GPU for me: 850, 950, 1000 right now. I've done 800/900/950 which is a little more aggressive, but I got an SOD when I did...
[Galaxy S II General] dirn1111:

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:

[Galaxy S II General] 0355:
As I said mate, "thousands". It means I receive one, I unlock the handset via notification drawer going directly to gtalk, reply quickly (some have just a smile inside) and lock back. You can do a ton of these in an hour and a half.

I repeat: I don't want to start a war or similar, just sayin' that

to my usage

I am very satisfied with the work these devs made on AOSP ICS.

That's all.

P.S.

What I do think about "heavy usage" is irrelevant to this thread, I suppose.
[Galaxy S II General] jav92:
I already know of Haxsync, im looking for other options because I dont want to pay for an app I will use one time... So I did use the search function and i found another alternative, that's why im asking and if it is so annoying to you just don't answer :)
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
The People app is already in ICS, CM9 is ICS. Facebook Sync doesn't work because Google blocked them for ICS. Tell Facebook to update their App and it'll work. :)

[Galaxy S II General] irish-sid:

[Galaxy S II General] Jal253:
Hi everyone,

I've been on CM9 for a while now I've got only one problem: the signal power. The signal is pretty weak I've got only -89dBm 12 asu with gsm 2 g only mode and -95 dBm 9 asu. I tried other ICS rom and the signal is way better - 65dBm. Sometimes my phone calls even ended because of the lack of signal. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?
[Galaxy S II General] T!b:
Hi,

Maybe you should change your baseband ?
[Galaxy S II General] Dekar1:
Installed stock ICS rom. Problem "USB Device not recognized" still persists. So I'm sure it's a hardware flaw/defect.

Removed root, Download mode flash counter = 0. So warranty should cover the repair costs right?
[Galaxy S II General] AcmE85:
Been discussed, use search and read.. it's a RIL bug. The shown value only goes to -89 although your connection is in fact better. No fix at the moment...
[Galaxy S II General] shotta35:
It's simply a display issue.

do *#*#0011#*#* and you'll see the true value. Samsung RIL is screwed up i hear so it only goes down to -89dBm
