[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Hey guys

So last night my phone was at around 90% battery before I put it to sleep for the night. I have a habit of hitting ATK every time I turn the phone off, so that's exactly what I did.

No wifi, bluetooth, GPS were on.

I wake up this morning to the phone being completely dead...I start it up and it has 1% battery left.

Also, is "Wifi Sharing" aka tethering? This is weird because I have never even configured this feature, let alone turn it on and do not want it on for risk of being charged!

Thanks,

Elliott
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
What firmware version? (settings > about phone, post android version, Kernel version and build number)

As in the older versions the Wi-Fi sharing feature has a habit of sucking battery.

Also you shouldn't use ATK's, they do more harm than good on modern high memory devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
As @veyka says, avoid using ATK, download BetterBatteryStats and look for any wakelocks that are keeping the phone awake during the night.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks guys I'll stop using it.

It's 2.3.3

Kernel version:

2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789

dh130.yoo@SEP-48 #2

Build number:

GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

There hasn't been any updates for my phone yet...(Bell) and I don't plan on putting a different ROM on my phone.

Is there another app like BetterBatteryStats? I don't really buy apps.

veyka: why would Wifi sharing even be on on my phone? I have never used it and I seriously hope it's not on because I don't want to get charged for tethering :s
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
See the link in my sig for BBS, theres an XDA edition.

No its not on, its just running in the background draining battery (Bug in the program in older 2.3.3 roms). Or at least it looks like it is. Its a part of the rom, it comes on all SGS2 phones as standard, you shouldn't be being charged.

The only way to freeze/stop the app is to root, and if you want todo that or not is upto you. But use BBS to check first.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks I will use it tonight to see. Are there any special settings I need to set to get it to read what's causing the drain?

This is the first time this has happened so obviously something must have changed which caused a major battery drain.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
After the drain look at the BBS screens, and hit menu > more > dump to file
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
I have a similar problem too. Sometimes just after flashing an update .zip, my battery stats will decrease by almost 40%
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Sometimes the fuel gauge chip gets confused after doing something that uses a lot of juice between reboots, like flashing zips (After all battery status is just an estimate), it will correct itself over time, this on the otherhand is drain due to buggy app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Okay guys here it is:

http://pastebin.com/HU3bys2j

I'm not sure this will be much help to me, though...because battery usage was back to normal today...~70% battery life after sitting the whole night...kind of **** but it is what it is.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
First of all update your ROM, you're still using 2.3.3, in some 2.3.3 ROM's Wifi sharing bug was present, update it to 2.3.6, Wifi sharing bug will be gone for sure.

Now about your Wakelocks there is not much there other than some Chat service, in Kernel Wakelocks there is dormancy present, so disable it, disabling Fast Dormancy helped a lot of people, it should help you too.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
Thanks.

I'd rather wait for an OTA update or an official update to update my phone...

I also read somewhere that turning fast dormancy off can potentially use more data when using the internet, etc. Is that a load of baloney or not?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keiemz:
when signal is weak, device try to get good signal. I think that is why your bettery has gone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You may be waiting a LONG time... There is no harm and very little risk using a firmware from Intratech's Official i9100 Firmwares thread. I believe the firmwares in post #2 are from Samsung, and as far as I know the only modification Intratech does is replace the bootloader with one that can be reset using a USB jig.

From what I understand, fast dormancy causes the connection to drop from HSPA/HSPA+ to 3G if you have NOT been using something to keep an active flow of data under a very small amount of time. So in other words, if you're not loading a web page, or streaming music, and data is generally not flowing to your phone, it will drop the connection to 3G in a few seconds. With fast dormancy turned OFF, it will stay with an HSPA/HSPA+ connection for longer.

There are pros and cons to both sides. You might save a little bit of battery with fast dormancy turned on, but I've found it slows down your online experience, as it takes a few seconds for it to negotiate from 3G back to HSPA/HSPA+.

Hope that makes sense.

update your firmware via kies. I suppose that should help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Kies sucks. You have to wait for Samsung to update their databases to say your phone in your region has an upgrade (I got tired of waiting after 6 months of being on 2.3.3), and they dictate what version you upgrade to; not always to the latest version.

Check out Intratech's thread I linked above. There are instructions in post 1, official firmwares from Samsung in post 2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sugarkryptonite:
I see.

But how do I know which firmware to download? It's all so confusing...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blunted09:
factory reset and monitor apps installed-simplest way to see what's wrong. If that doesn't help, its gotta be your battery. Also, kill wifi sharing if you're rooted.

[Nexus S General] mattallica76:
The face unlock was supposedly designed to work with the front camera on the Galaxy Nexus(which has a higher resolution than ours), but I've had no problems using it on my NS4G. You just need to take several face training shots in different lighting conditions.

i noticed there are no stock or lite roms available for note which are flashable by cwm, it would be great if a dev cooks one up. There are similar roms available they are only flashable by odin.

So I have another strange issue with GO SMS Pro and sending MMS Pictures. When I choose to take a photo or from gallery GO SMS rotates it and when other end gets the images they are rotated.

I read somewhere that its a Samsung camera issue with exif data, but have not found a solution for it. Regular messaging app allows to send images normally.

Any one has any ideas ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yozh:
When you saying running well do you mean you go to go SMS pro to send a mms click choose image or take picture and it does not flip it ?

Interesting today I took a picture via camera then when to gallery and shared it and choose go SMS compose and that worked find so very interesting.

EDIT: My bad it didnt work properly it just flipped it the other way so it went straight I took it in landscape and it flipped it so it sent properly.... In regular messaging app it works fine. I think its because samsung flips pictures but it self... and then go sms flips it again, is there anyway to stop this from happening ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AbstractMind87:

It does the same thing on the Infuse 4G, so it must be a Samsung thing. I can't pinpoint exactly what causes it. Even with a Cyanogenmod7 Camera it does it.

[HTC Wildfire S] Android311:
Hello everyone, i used gimp to edit and change color of the 3g and signal icons (cyanogenmod color #00ffff), below is the download, I ONLY tested this on my htc wildfire s cdma, if other people would like to test and leave me feedback if it works on there custom rom or phone please tell me and i will update this thread. (PLEASE AND ALWAYS BACKUP) The signal icons are different from stock, i change the ev to 3g icon. Take a look at the screen shot. This download comes with complete 3g,1x,signal bar,and null icons. USE AT OWN RISK....BATTERY NOT INCLUDED :D

*directions*

-download file

-extract ZIP

-copy system.ui.apk from system/app to sd card. (copy dont move)

-plug phone into computer and open to sd card

-open sytem.ui.apk in win zip (or any program that will let you move or edit files inside the zip).

-save all the png imgs that will be replaced by new ones in a new folder, that way if you dont like the new icons you can put the old icons back in the folder

-copy all the png img from the downloaded extracted zip folder and drop the pngs into res-drawable-mdpi folder, the png will over write the old png img

-delete these 2 png img in the res-drawable-mdpi folder- cdma_sys_6signal_5 and cdma_sys_6signal_6 (the reason why to delete is because the new signal icons is only four bars, so 5 and 6 need to be deleted)

-after complete save the apk

-disconnect from computer and open es file explorer or root explore

-select sytem.ui.apk from your sd card and copy to system/app (it will ask you to overwrite file? select yes)

-when done it will foreclose, hit restart phone

-boot

-enjoy

Hey could someone with the know how, write up a quick tutorial on how to change the system font color? I have researched it and found what i thought was the answer, but when i make the changes and save everything i get a bootloop. what i did was, use ninjamorph to extract all the files in framework -res.apk, then i pulled all the files to my PC, i changed the files (tertiary_text_dark, tertiary_text_light, tab_indicator_text, tab_indicator_text_v4) in framework -res.apk/res/color. All the other files i didnt see any color code to be changed. Once i made the changes, i dragged them back to my sd card, and used ninjamorph again to replace the files i changed, ninjamorph, then repack and installed the new modified framework -res.apk, but on reboot, gets stuck on bootloop. I tried using apkmanager to decompile, which worked, but after making changes i get an error on the re-compiling part, hence why i used ninjamorph. Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys.

Why are you returning the Amaze?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elbarto7:
I like the bigger display and battery life of the s2. and also I had the g2 and mt4g, I want to try samsung and tw 4.0.:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] g1user101:
i love the amaze. you will be sacrificing sense's sexyness, camera buttons, led lights, screen resolution, build quality, great feel in hand, camera quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] setzer715:
All good points, but to be Devil's Advocate:

-Senes Sexyness vs TW4.0 smoothness and much more functional

-Led Light, um, notification light? Just use BLN (Back Light Notification). If your talking Camera LED then yes, it has 2 instead of 1 but this goes under Camera. See Camera comments below.

-Screen Resolution vs 10 times more brilliant display and larger display. As a former Sensation owner trust me, you won't miss the slightly higher resolution.

-Build quality, just because it's metal doesn't mean its better. My SGSII has hit the concrete twice, my wood floor once and my tile floor twice. Zero issus here. Solid as a rock and would go head to head with a metal casing any day.

-Amaze felt BULKY to me in my hand when I had one. Sensation actually felt better in my hand than the Amaze. I had an Amaze for a couple weeks testing it before you say I haven't messed with one.

-Camera, well, yeah, it's the ONLY advantage, IMO, over the SGSII. Camera does take better pictures and you do have that ever annoying (uneeded) button on the side! :p

Don't get me wrong, the amaze is a beautiful phone and Sense is much more refined but the SGSII gets the job done better and faster. Again, just my .02.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elbarto7:
You pumped me up setzer! :-)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
I love the build quality of the amaze I just don't dig sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] billobob:
- I personally find it much easier to minimize the effects of touchwiz compared to sense (and I find sense ugly). Unless either device ever has perfect CM9 support (which is a huge questionmark and may take a while), I have to assume I'll be running a rom based on stock, and it's just easier to strip out most of touchwiz. Even if you do the same to sense I find the phone is still inexplicably slower than a true AOSP build, whereas this isn't as true with touchwiz. Sense somehow has the capability to make perfectly fine hardware just incredibly laggy

- I prefer the design of the SGSII (especially the battery cover, which I find very study and on every htc phone I've handled has been flimsy to some degree) and like the screen more than the Amaze, even though the latter is higher res. If it were a 720p screen it'd be a different story, but they're close enough for me

- The cameras both seem close enough in quality, although the amaze certainly has an edge it's slight. it's nothing like say, the gap between the sensation or iphone 4 (not 4S) and SGSII

tldr: it comes down to whether or not you like Sense or Touchwiz imo. it's a damn shame we don't have more basically AOSP phones to choose from
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] josemedina1983:
HTC sense can rip the fastest device apart. I don't know why HTC wont tone it down they had problems updating the HTC desire and they continue to pile more sh*t on top of it at this point they have their own OS on top of another OS makes no sense for sense:confused:.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
You made a choice that only goes to personal preference, I had the amaze for a couple weeks and I prefer it the camera isn't a little better it's a lot better, the screen res is much better and sharper, dedicated camera keys, led notifications without need of bln, sense has features that touchwiz doesn't compare to. This all leads me to the amaze for me is better but I could see the galaxy s 2 has good advantages too bigger screen even tho res sucks, brighter more colorful, thinner, battery life is superb, and the lightness of the os making the phone operate faster. Only thing to note is judging by how far the sensation was in ics development when the build leaked, and how similiar they are the amaze may see ics a lot sooner but thats just speculation same can be said about the world galaxy s 2 variant even though internals are different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I was never all that amazed by the amaze. Sense seems really bulky but i like that its themeable.

Ive used HTC phones before and ive always found them bulky and heavy. Its just their style and it doesnt jive with me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G1-8701:
I been looking at tons of reviews on the galaxy nexus, i'm a current owner of the Epic 4g touch and i love the phone, but sprint is killing my buzz with it's horrible service. So i'm thinking about getting a galaxy nexus in about 30 minutes from best buy, yea it doesn't have a sdcard which i'm used to in my E4gT(32gb card which will be useless to me after i get the GN) Yea i heard a lot of people talking about the new phones that were announced at CES, but i'd rather have a pure google phone like i had with my G1 when it first came out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stere0xide:
Basicly it all comes down to preference, my main reasons would be:

-better audio output compared to my previous SGSII, it is quite noticable how much better it is to my picky ears.

-greater developer support, being the next Nexus phone there is a greater amount of developer support and options for customizations.

-raw/stock Android, I like to refer to stock Android as a blank canvas in comparison to that of a customized OEM version. Although there are some aspects (colour scheme and such..) that i am not a fan of in stock ICS, it is all easily customized by me if I choose to.

-it comes with the Google Music app preinstalled, so I don't really find the lack of expandable storage as an issue as I don't usually listen to all my music at once.

Like I said before it all comes down to preference, yes the camera is a downgrade but i justify that choice because I'd prefer to use an actual digital camera instead. Weigh in on your own preferences and decide from there.

I am new here, and have recently installed MIUI on my 2X

Here are the bugs I have found in this latest build, may also post your bugs and solution here as well.

1) phone got frozen after unplugging usb connection from pc

temporary solution make sure the screen is on while unplug from usb

we can use a app to alleviate this problem, just try"Multi Mount SD-card" By gsws666

2) phone got frozen after using torch for few mins

3) phone turn off itself (sleep dead) at night once/twice a week when charging

4) when going into a place with no signal reception (eg lift/underground), when you go back to open space it will fail to search any signal at all until you restart the phone.

just try the app "GET RIL", maybe the ril of your phone isn't matching the baseband. By gsws666

Also, does anyone try using HDMI out with this rom?
