[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

3.6.13 only came out today.

You need to give it a chance before you can judge it.

If you do get poor battery life ,you need to experiment a bit with the ROM/kernel combination.

I gave the link to the main kernel Devs above in post # 4

:)
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
no i am on .12.

@malybru

i flashed this kernel u linked to:

http://xda2.androidrevolution.nl/db...x123/Pyramid-Kernel-0.2.8-M-sense-1.56GHz.zip

but i still get huge battery drain. Look at the attached images. Those can't be normal. I mean my galaxy nexus never is awake while phone is idle.
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
It was just a question, I'm sorry if it looked agressive :>

I tried ARHD x.11 and x.12 and have had this awful wifi battery drain aswell but I didn't try another kernel because I was very new to the Android OS. After that, I have tried some other custom roms but I didn't fell in love like it happend with ARHD. So just wanted to know if this bug is still there or if something has changed.
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
I've had this battery drain with every ARHD roms and some other roms and it seems like nothing can fix it. My guess is .13 wont help me either.
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
I only had this problem with the ARHD roms. Which radio do you use?
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 which is recommended for that rom
[HTC Sensation] Htcsens83:
Hi!

I'm bit noob at this but I have used ARHD roms since 3.x now using 6.0.2 xe version.

Never had such battery drain, used latest kernels from faux at 3.x now 6.0.2 uses stock

Kernel and my battery drain is in idle about 1%/hour..

Have you tried fresh install? I read somewhere that the kernel should install first then Rom?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That drain you are showing is not actually that bad...

When I was on 3.x.x it was worse than yours.

You cannot compare phones like that.

They are running different OS,different hardware,so they are not comparable.

I used to get 1-2 mA drain on my HD2,but you will never see anything that low on the Sensation.

Why don't you try THIS KERNEL

:)
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
ok just flashed that kernel. But about that picture i attached. Why is the phone awake when i am not using it?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

That is a question that was never fully answered...

Faux123 himself,could not figure it out :eek:

:)
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
ahh then i am not the only one getting that. Thanks for your help bud!
[HTC Sensation] knuddeknurft:
I had the exact same problem. I fully charged my phone to 100% and then go into recovery and wipe battery stats.

works fine for me
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
I have done this too but it didn't fix the battery drain. I've lost about 600 mah in idle when wifi was activated and this isn't normal. I will install ARHD 3.6.13 later on and tell you if the kernel is fixed.
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
if i understand this thread correctly http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1442989 then wiping battery stats wont help anything.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I've never done it.

My battery works just fine.

LOOK

:D
[HTC Sensation] plipness:
since you have tried the kernel..look for a good radio
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
He already uses the recommend radio.
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
Ok, I've installed ARHD 3.6.13 with no sense script and the wifi battery drain is gone :D

My Sensa needs now 40-60 mah in idle, which is a huge improvment compared to 600 mah.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Glad to hear it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Headbanger1982:
Instead I experience heavy drains with every kernel and every Rom I use.

The phone is brand new (bought 31 dec) and was on 2.3.4 official when I made the S-OFF and SuperCID.

Now since I had heavy problems (the phone with everything in sync lasted 6 hours per charge) I bought an Anker 1900MaH battery... you know what? It last exactly the same as the stock battery.

Any ideas? Batteries are fine, the problem is that i see really heavy drains in mA per minute (from 500 to 130) with ANY kernel from stock to Faux or Bricked... It seems like the CPU never goes to idle nor sleep...

Now... anybody can help me? I'd like to reach a full day with my phone (at least with the Anker!)...

Radio: 10.14.9035.01_M
[HTC Sensation] armanisafarai:
OK this can NOT be normal. Really i never touched my phone for almost 2 days and still battery was all dead. So this phone has a standby of maximum 2 days? If so that sucks. Look at the pics
[HTC Sensation] Unlocer:
You still have the wifi problem. Did you already update to 3.6.13 ?
[HTC Sensation] alphaze:
yeah you should try updating that, the wifi looks like it's eating your battery alive. check to see what battery life is like with wifi turned off? that might give you something to compare it to.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
Hi, I have a carrier (3UK) branded SGS2, and have been running MIUI for a little while

I decided to go back to stock, so used ODIN + files from this thread.

However, once ODIN has done it's thing, update continues on the phone. It reports that it couldn't access /system/csc/KOR/system, but that CSC has been installed.

However, there is no signal, no network available all I have is 'emergency calls only', whereas before I had pretty good signal, and I've not changed location.

I'd check what the current CSC is with *#1234#, but it seems that that rom is broken. FCs for com.android.acore, among others including google services, and as a result the dialer won't open, and others from the same list create a lovely bootloop.

Where can I get a working, stock rom, with the connectivity for my carrier?

How do I solve my issues?

P.S. - Yes I have seen a psychatrist. He got bored :p

1st check your imei number, is that 00499901064000 or still orignal imei??

press *#06# to know imei
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Go to settings > about phone > Status

Check your IMEI/Wi-Fi MAC/etc

If its not there, your EFS it toasted and I hope you have a backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
That's what it says as IMEI
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Have you done a EFS backup?

Check in your internal sd card for something like efs.autobackup.img to see if its been auto backed up.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
And that would be what, exactly?

I always take care to back-up regularly through Titanium, MIUI's built in recovery and using CWM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i360*:
I had the same ROM and i have the 3UK branded SGS2 too. MIUI is too buggy to be honest. I had the same issue with signal. Only got 1 bar then 'Emergency Calls Only'. 3UK works best with XXKPA modem. Currently, i have WanamLite, always get full bars :P

[ROM]{CWM}İCS REMİX ROM V6.0 XXKPA 4.0.3 ALL APPS FİXED resurrection

Hi there, i just have a quick question, pretty easy but im too dumb to get through it .. I just flashed Ultra ICS 1.2 from westcrip but it doesnt really work for me (phone and sms doesnt work, i get a message that its stopped and when i try to click on it on the homescreen it says that the app?! is not installed). Well .. the plan was before that i get the v0.5 from westcrip but i installed Ultra ics cause I just had to flash a zip .. now the main problem.

When im installing it like its said on the site ill get an error. Because: my cwm says that i cant restore tar files. But its said that i should unrar the rar and restore the stuff like a backup.. I just googled and its said that tar files need to be installed by odin. But theres no single comment in the thread that says that i need odin?! what do i have to do to get it working with the md5+img+tar files (!). (My normal cwm backup just has the md5 and img files)

Please help me

Thanx
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
You have been reverted to the generic IMEI, which means the phone wont work properly, and as you don't have a backup of the IMEI you are a bit out of luck.

Your best bet is to flash to stock, reset flash counter, and get it fixed under warranty, say it happened during a KIES update.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
Way to hijack a thread.

To my personal knowledge, though, that is correct. Updates contained in .zips can be flashed in recovery, but tarballs (.tar, .tar.md5) need to be flashed using Odin.

However, to help you out, it would be better to know which phone you're talking about for a start (I'm taking it its SGS2) and which thread you're talking about. Post a new [Q] thread with all info and I'll try and help as I can.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
EUGH. I feared you were going to say that. I have no idea how to do that, but I'll look it up I guess.

Thanks for all the help anyway. =]

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
Cool, well like I said, Post it up as a new [Q] thread, then you title it to your specific enquiry, and maybe if it turns out I can't help, then its still open for other people to help out, as I think were probably the only 2 left monitoring this thread now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
1) from this thread download, your stock rom and the old bootloaders. (carrier branded roms are in another thread linked from that one)

2) flash old bootloaders

3) use USB jig to wipe the download counter

4) flash your stock rom

5) flash the new bootloaders if your stock firmware is UHKI1 or newer

That should make your phone look stock :P

Make your own thread and try to be totally clear what your problem is, as I am unable to work out what is wrong/what you are trying todo, and even what rom you are on.

Use bullet points.

lets try this one:

wanna install : resurrection v6.0 based on XXKPA OFFİCİAL İCS from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436854

problem:

after extract and steps i followed :

"Download the cwm backup

Put it on your internal SD Card . example phone/internal sd/clockworkmode/backup ( NOT EXTERNAL SD CARD )

Enter Recovery

Wipe Everything

select restore and backup

Select restore from internal sd card ( NOT EXTERNAL SD CARD

After install finished

reboot the device

Enjoy!"

I get the problem that on the cwm backup are "tar" files which i cant install with my cwm.. its a cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar,system.ext4.tar,nandroid.md5, boot img in the rar. my normal backups just have img files ... guess its not that hard to answer, pretty much a standard question but i dont find anything in the forums and im not able to post in the thread itself cause i have below 10 posts or stuff like that.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Ok, you didnt make a new thread, but I can understand you now.

NOTE: ICS is in alpha and unstable and not recommended for most users. (ps who the hell distributes a rom as a nandroid backup?! seems the dude cant write CWM edity scripts)

1) download V6

2) connect phone to computer

3) mount USB mass storage (turn on usb debugging in Settings > applications > development)

4) Extract the "2012-01-13.19.22.28" folder from the zip you downloaded into I:\clockworkmod\backup, where I is your internal SD card mounted on your PC.

5) unmount storage and disconnect phone from pc

6) reboot into clockworkmod recovery

7) go to backup and restore

8) chose restore

9) chose 2012-01-13.19.22.28

10) if its not on the list, reboot into android, connect phone to PC, move the 2012-01-13.19.22.28 folder to the clockworkmod/backup folder on your externalSD card.

At least our SGS2 doesn't have those ****ty eMMCs.. :D (ironically, the ones equipping HTC phones are made by... Samsung ! Way to undermine the competitors, eh ? Sell them crappy hardware, and watch them lose their faithful modder community, one disappointed guy after another.. :p )

@ozzy

i think usb jig will not help you !

try install orignal samsung firmware 1st of your country (www.samfirmware.com)

i am also facing this problem..

i know that last method to revert my imei.. that is to go samsung service center n repair my imei again! they will cost you some money ofcourse!

Ritenow i am downloading orignal firmware and then am gonna flash it via odin, i hope it will work.

if not then last option is to go samsung service center.. enjoy ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
The point is to get it back to stock, so they will do the repair under warranty. As to be honest, flashing a rom should never corrupt the EFS but it does, for some unknown reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulcool:
@veyka

you are wrong, still if you back to orignal stock.. and your imei is changed(damaged).

As changing imei is illegal.

then you are going to loose warranty!

so, that is very easy to revert imei back to orignal imei by samsung center!

but, you need to do setting with the guy there, so he change your currupted imei back to your real imei.. after that you will get warranty back too!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzy441:
Idea is, the /efs partition got corrupted during update. NOT activley changed IMEI. Software corruption can hardly be illegal, it happens all the time and often in the most stable environments. So, it is possible that it happened whilst updating with Kies. All I have to do is return to stock, tell them I updated and now it won't connect to the network (pretend I don't know anything else). Presto, its repaired under warranty =]

Its kinda mental to think about companys that big, compared to others that just make phones or something.

It was already dead (half-dead anyway), it just wasn't aware of it yet :D

Yep, the Lord and Samsung work in mysterious ways... ^^

It makes a lot of sense though (lol, Sense, HTC..Got it ? :P ) : have you ever heard of a fried eMMC chip on a Samsung-made phone ? I haven't..

Yet, HTC phones break down all the time because of those crappy chips.. Rumor even has it that HTC locked their bootloaders precisely to avoid this issue (it can only happen on a S-OFF'ed phone, since the system partitions need to be writable to achieve this). Pulling the battery out and reinserting it within the next 2 seconds is the most surefire way to fry your HTC device. :/

@ozzy441:

I hope that before returning Your phone You checked possibility that /efs folder contains initial nv_data.bin file (as .nv_data.bak) which can be used to restore IMEI even when You have no efs backup...

When we try to swap sdcard, his phone still got 60mA(with my android/sdcard) and i got 10mA(with his android/sdcard)..

So maybe what causing his battery drain is hardware issue ? :confused:

He's using radio 2.15.50.14 , and mine is 2.10.50.28_2

do you use swap

I have problem with sd card mounting and alfs 5

I can't mount SD card to computer while having SWAP file enabled.

which is kind of logic because swap is a file on SD card and system uses it as RAM.

enabling swap partition should fix the problem because only FAT partition should be mounted to computer and phone could continue to use SWAP.

SD EXT partition should be better to use instead of built in app2sd, because phone could continue to use Apps while SD FAT partition is mounted to comp.

I'm not sure all thisl is true, because I didn't try it. but, from how I understood what I read, it should be like that.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fella1:
I have had my Prime for a week now and it was working perfectly. I got the ICS update and everything was working even better. I never had any wifi connection issues. Today the prime will suddenly no longer connect to wifi. It appears to not be picking up the wifi signals anymore. When it does manage to pick up a signal it shows up as a small dot and still can't connect. It wouldn't connect at work this morning and when I came home it connected for about a minute and then dropped connection and would not connect again. I rebooted several times, tried a hard reset and then finally resorted to a factory reset. It still did no good. My unit was previously picking up my wifi signals with full strength usually and sometimes 3 bars. Not sure what happened but I guess I'll just take it back to Office Depot for a refund while I still have time. Not sure what I'll do now because i REALLY liked the prime during the time that it was working right.

If you're under warranty Asus will tell you to return it for a fix and hopefully their turnaround time is measured in days, not weeks or months. Sorry for you, it seems the Prime is not as durable as I thought, poor quality control is probably the culprit.
