Clean up system/app is delete system apps that you don't use :) Were you downloading stuff? Seems like a download with screen off.
[Galaxy S II General] shayne77:
I think I know my phone (as you say) and my phone for every nightly I have been installing since December last year have shown no great difference in battery drain with about 190 user apps installed. I have only wiped my phone completely 3 times in 6 months and that was by choice, not because something was wrong.

Now, who's right and who's wrong? again, what is your measure for battery drain... gut feel means nothing.

I can see;

- Your phone has been unplugged for about 14hrs and you have 44% battery left.

- You have Google+ running for that entire length of time.

- Your phone has been going into deep sleep most of the time.

Without knowing your display ON time, I would say there is nothing unusual about your battery drain. I mean come on, you're gonna get up to 24hrs with your current usage. Turn Google+ off and you'd get up to 48hrs. Do you charge your phone every night like I do so when you get up, you know you have 100%?

It's a phone, not life support. You're getting a days worth out of it. First step, is if you can live without realtime chat, turn off Google+.
[Galaxy S II General] MilesTEG1:
What do you mean ?

I download from the Google Play app, and sometime from the CM-9 nightly repository.

How can I turn off G+ chat without "not using" G+ app ?

I can live without realtime chat, but, I consult regularly G+.

I usualy charge my phone every night, because after one day, the battery is under 40-30% so I can't have another day without charging in the middle of the day.

But yesterday, I use GPS, so I plugged my phone, and this night, I don't do a charge :)

But this is not what I complain :) And I'm not really complaining ;)

I just want to know what cause the wakelocks I see in BBS.

But, Thanks for your answer anyway ^^

MY QUADRANT BENCHMARK SCORE WITH 09/06 NIGHTLY.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
That one is very old, the results are not as good as the newer demos, like this one that was posted a few pages back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrQRYmYip6Q

Heheh, we are getting to the same level as the quad core phones. No need to upgrade, we've already cut our cores in half, virtually. AND JUST WAIT for the linaro improvments!
[Galaxy S II General] :
New nightly on get.cm. Flashed and seems nice. I couldn't test Cid's boot animation, I flashed another right after CM :)

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:39 AM ----------

Oh, just wait for GS III + CM9 with linaro :) Wish CM9 was the stock Android, so iPhone lovers woudn't have any arguments to say that iphone is better. Well, with the ugly touchwiz they still don't have, but yeah... even with 2.3.3 so laggy, they still don't have... Oh, can't figure out, iphone is just too CRAPPY.
[Galaxy S II General] chrismalla:
You flashed latest nightly and it seems nice when you haven't even booted up the phone???
[Galaxy S II General] :
I flashed another boot animation :) I have a patch to delete some useless files and install google apps and some other stuff, so I don't have to wipe data, delete some apks, install hosts file, gps, blah blah...
[Galaxy S II General] Dunki3:

The Cid animation is nice.

Damn, since when did the changelog site use this hosting site to mirror to nightlys, I downloaded it with 1,2 MB/sec. It's as fast as the torrents :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] SoulTerrox:
+1 to CM9 to SGS3 with Linaro improvements. This would be insane. I know that quadrant is not very serious but 6300+ score is definately good.

By the way, antutu is better rated of benchmarking apps so antutu shows doubled perfomance than sgs2. So well, honestly it's expected.

Tapatapalked from my GT - i9300
[Galaxy S II General] Deeco7:
As I mentioned before, the animation does not animate just freezes, however the phone is still charging. You can only boot the phone by removing the battery and reinserting it. This affects stock cm9 kernal too.
[Galaxy S II General] digitallysick:
i'm not really into the new animation since its exactly the same as the previous but just with "cid" i would have thought they would have redone the whole animation. To something new

Folks, yesterday i had a big problem and ask it here on the forums, but nobody helped me and replied :S

i flashed the latest cm9 version, and i get a error 7 in the CWM flash window, after that, i restart the phone, the screen with the triangle pops up, and after that, nothing happens, it seems that the phone runs, but there is just no screen !

i had to get in the odin mode and reflash CWM 5! Yesterday it worked, i got back the screen and could get in the cwm, to flash an older version of cm9, but now, nothing happens!

Can someone help me now, pls?

thanks, and greetings from Germany :)

[BOUNTY] $$$ for High Mic Gain on Video Recording-Samsung Galaxy S2

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172048
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
lots of information can be found at the very first post in this thread, which includes instructions of how to flash and links to a selection of modems, plus the all essential FAQ of CM9.

if you have no difficult using Odin with your phone, it's recommended to flash

the resurrection edition of CM9 with Odin. it's by far the best and hassle-free way to prepare the phone for future CM9 flash (add CWM, root, etc.). as the copy of CM9 rom included in resurrection edition is old, you'll need to download the latest nightly to bring your system up-to-date. you'll need Gapp as well (link at the first post), as some google apks are not included in CM9 rom due to licensing issue.

as for the yellow triangle, it's Sammy's way to deter folks from flashing custom roms into their devices. it's aesthetically unpleasant, but it's harmless. if you really don't like that and want to get rid of it, you can search google play store for an app called triangle-away, by Chainfire. it will reset the flash-counter to 0, and the triangle will be gone. btw the bloody triangle will only show up when you flash custom rom over sammy rom. flashing new nightly over old nightly will not trigger the dreaded counter.

solutions to common issues can usually be found here by "Search this thread". do give it a whirl.

[Galaxy S II General] Akiainavas:
Does Notification Counter feature work for any of you ? It got merged in latest nightly, there's an option to enable it in Settings, but it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II General] gaz617:
Let me see if I understand.

Scenario:

Phone is shut down/turned off

Charger is plugged in, phone displays the battery icon

Is it from here that you do a battery pull in order to boot? If yes, then you can just hold down the power button for a few seconds instead.

If not my mistake.
[Galaxy S II General] dchn2:
gaz617's notion is sound. the power button works just like the one in notebook, as a long press acts like a hard reset. i've yet been able to reproduce the screen freeze when charging with phone powered off, so i can't test the long press reset in that situation. when charging my phone which is powered off, a short press of the power button will toggle the on and off of the screen (charge animation). a long press of 3-4 sec will trigger reboot of the device. phone is plugged-in in both scenario.

p.s. just had a crash (first one since ages; 0610 nighly, btw). it can be trick to work the long press. i had to let go of the button the moment when i see sammy's logo on screen. release too soon or held on too long, the phone will go back to charge animation.

the one for privacy (pattern/pin/face...)

Well, as I am the last one to post a battery consumption issue, let me answer you ...

What I noticed doesn't prove there is an issue (it is the first time it happens to me), as what you experienced doesn't prove everything works correctly ...

I didn't change my setup since about a month, no reason to have something going wrong just now ...

Secondly, what is the purpose of your "test" ? You're not going to show something useful about normal battery consumption, regarding possible wakelocks / phone prevented to deepsleep, your phone being active and screen on 3/4 of the time ...

I agree with you completely on this but the worst part is I have read people complaining here about issues like heating,battery life,smoothness etc after few hours of installing the latest nightly once its released.
