Old, if that's to me normally you would be correct however tj's Rom/kernels/scripts all go together as a package. Once you flash a different kernel or disable scripts etc nothing works just right. So that's the reason we don't change anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
TDJ announced the ability to use different kernels starting with 2.6

So yeah.. wtf. why does my battery suck? I was getting at least 22hours on BeastMod 4.2 before.

Currently on digital warfare 2.7

Ahhh little Weedhopper, remember what Confusius say, "App running in background causes sharp drain in power"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casperi:
Yup got me there . I admit I missed that update for 2.6. Use to be that any other kernels would just boot loop if i rem right so compatible might just mean you can use whatever but if you want awsomeness battery use my kernel.

Moving on, why your battery is so low you need to find out what is eating up all your battery. which app or do you have the brightness turned up all the way etc.

just flashed this Rom last night and I've noticed one minor bug and one major. i did the whole process correctly. full wipe. flash. 15 minutes. reboot. fix permissions.

first minor bug is the Bluetooth icon doesn't show that its connected when it really is.

the major bug is i can't download anything from the play store im getting these errors. is anyone else dealing with the play store issue??

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
You have something wrong for sure. The battery drain is so low on this rom it is stupid. Although it was light usage i just took a screenshot (that i will be uploading later) that showed 3 hours screen on time with 1d23h battery time with 5% left. I know it is light usage but 6.5 hours of sleeping in airplane mode resulted in a FLAT...literally FLAT line.

I could not be happier with the battery life of this ROM. I would suggest reflash, and dont restore apps from your previous build. Then test for a day and see what happens to your battery life. Then install app by app.

EDIT: PIX UPLOADED

EDIT2: BTW, just so i dont mislead anyone, I am using the NEXUS 2100mah battery, but still the battery life is crazy.

alright im really confused on what im doing wrong here guys. I've been striving hard to get these godlike battery lives like some of you for the past week and i can't seem to accomplish it. pre root i was only getting 4-5 hours of life. i started this week off with juggernaut 5.0 and i was getting only 6 hours of battery life. tried darkside kernel and synergy kernel with that Rom and i was never able to get past 5-6 hours. tried all kinds of apps like 2x battery to try and improve life but i am seeing no results.

yesterday i did a complete wipe using darksides wipe tool. i purchased the nexus extended battery from Verizon. flashed darkside digital warfare onto my phone and this is a first full charge and discharge I've had..about 8 hours total time. i don't understand how some of you are getting over 17 hours or even a day using the same Rom? i even have the extended battery so what's the problem here? i try to keep my brightness on the lowest setting..the only apps i really use are gosms + emoji, instagram, and medium usage of the browser. also i have Facebook and twitter installed but i rarely use it. what am i doing wrong? do i need a few full charges before i see improvement or should i be noticing charge right off the batt ?

plz help i need godlike battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I was in the same boat as you with horrible battery life. The trick I found is to download everything you need to flash the rom to the root of your sd card, charge your phone over night while turned off, boot right into recovery and flash the rom then flash TDJ's cache wipe. Reboot your phone, let sit for 10 minutes at startup screen then reboot again. Use your phone until it's at 5% and charge again overnight. Do 2-3 full charge cycles like that and you should be good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
I really wish I had better advice. Are you Restoring applications after you flash.

Try going back to stock...and see what your battery life is
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] IGKID:
Download an app called SetCPU

Adjust the settings to min 384 max 1134

Then go to profiles and set settings for screen off. Min 384 max 540. Save and enable.

That is not huts issue...there is obviously something else going on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyubuee:
when you say the root of the sd card. does that mean just place it in the sd card? because i see no file specifically named root. thx.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dougshell:
Root means in the lowest level if the file directory. Not in Amy sub folders

I wouldn't use any cpu apps or task manager. And the first apps I would get rid of are your battery widget and 2x battery, and maybe even score mobile. If it was a rogue app, my bet would be on one of those.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oniddy:
I Wanna flash this ROM so bad but afraid of having sod cuz on 2.6 I had the same problem and I believe the problem is not yet resolved read some people having same problem and I believe if I change the kernel to solve the problem them my battery would suck and that's the reason why I want this rom cuz of the amazing battery :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
I agree take off any "battery savers" and battery widget and change any update intervals of any apps that could possibly run in the background. Not sure also if you fully charged your battery overnight after flashing since that has helped me at least. Other than that this rom had excellent battery life when I used it that others didn't match.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyubuee:
would advanced task killer be considered a rogue app?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
Some of them are some of them aren't but overall your phone closes any unnecessary apps by itself making any task killers redundant. Once you close the apps it takes even more power and phone ram opening the same apps you closed when your system already handles that already.

In short, I personally think it's a waste and a rouge app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusf21:
They outlived their usefulness long ago. When Android was young it was terrible at managing tasks and memory. It does it very well now. Task killers do more harm than good now. You want the memory to be used. Having 1GB RAM is pointless if its always empty.

I easily get 15 to 17 hours of battery with 3 hours screen on time. The key is phone management. I turn off data, GPS, auto sync when not using the phone. And when possible use wifi. A poor cell signal will eat your battery quick also. I charged my phone at night with power off a few times when I flashed this rom. Hope this helps.

Are you using 4G or wifi calling? If you have access to a wifi network you'll use far less battery with wifi calling than 4G, especially if you are in an area with poor reception (judging by the screenshot you posted a few pages back you're on 4G with two bars, so this seems to be the case). If you are a Telus user or can't use wifi calling for some reason, but still have access to a wireless network I would suggest setting your phone to use 2G networks only and connect to wifi for your data needs.

With only 3 hours screen time I would expect at least 24 hours before needing a charge. I posted these screen shots a few pages back, but I'll put them here again. As you can see I had nearly 3 hours screen time, listened to several hours of music, browsed the web, and had over 57 hours without a charge before I hit 10%. So I'm being conservative when I say 24+ hours... This was with wifi calling on most of the time (not while driving to/from work obviously), no battery saver apps, automatic brightness, and I don't even have to take any extreme measures like disabling sync.

radio

hey, quick question. i have been doing some flashing back and fourth and i can't remember what radio this rom uses because my radio says t989uvlc8. the op says this is based on kl that is why i am asking. any help would be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Roms don't come with radios, you flash those separate. You can use whatever works for you, I personally get the best results with the KID radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ivianny:
All depends how you use your phone while the screen is on... Some people can achieve usually 5 or so hours me personally just being on XDA, web, and I forget what else I've gotten about 7hrs most at about 3% battery. The reason your battery gets raped is the apps you install. Just monitor which apps run a lot in background and if you play a lot of games don't expect 10-20 hrs since those games are pushing your phone to the max. Also you can try a data monitor to see if apps are sucking data in the background which also means less life.

Good luck man and glad to see some progress with your battery.

P.S. I hope you charged that new battery overnight before you started putting it through it's harsh life:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lore-mordred:

I came back to this ROM due to some data and sound issues my phone was having with the TDJs UCLE2 ROM. After making sure everything was wiped clean I flashed the LC8 radio then DW 2.7 and it is working GREAT!!. Much better reception and download speeds with everything else working smoothly and as it should. After 2 hours of heavy use my phone was down to 97% from a full charge so it looks like the battery will be performing quite well also. Guess it's going to be my weekend combo until TDJ can figure out the UCLE2 ROM :D

Honestly I just wiped cache and dalvik cache and flashed not a hiccup always data at my fingertips. No complaints on the other end about call echo. I asked most people I talked to and they say its crisp however nobody has ever liked speaker phone as much as without speaker turned to on.

Also, I originally flashed the rom with just the -notw flag; Later I added the -nobatt flag, wiped cache and dalvik cache, and reflashed, but the 100% battery notification was still present. It may only work on the first flash after a superwipe?

A workaround if you still have the 100% battery notification and don't want to superwipe:

Use ES file explorer:

1. First mount the file File System so it can be edited (through menu -> settings)

2. Browse to the root folder -system-/-media-/-audio-/-ui-

3. Rename the file TW_Battery_Caution.ogg to e.g. TW_Battery_Caution.ogg.old

4. Change Vibration setting to "Only when not in silent mode" since at night my settings put the phone in silent mode.

Now when I charge at night there is no 100% battery sound or vibration...

If I'm not mistaken, you can edit the icons in the dock. Open up the app drawer and hit the menu button. From there you select edit. Drag any app into the dock you want :-)

You can also use a different launcher. I'm using Zeam and love it :-) Its a very light launcher that allows quite a but of configuration options to include adding anything you want to the dock !

As a side note, I'm running 810/384 with ondemand. Its still running very smooth even with almost a 50 percent reduction :-D
