Yes, the myth was that wiping battery stats improves the overall battery life but I was not saying this in hopes of improving it. I was just saying to see if it will correctly display how much battery life you have on your rom because one time I had a problem where my battery life stayed at 100% and after wiping it it correctly displayed how much I had left.

If it takes 9 hours to charge then I think its very likely that you do have a defective one. Rechargeble batteries tend to show that kind of symptom when you charge it often without letting it drain first. Try completely draining your battery below 10% and fully charge without stopping (dont pull the plug). If the battery life is still the same and it still takes around 9 hours to charge then I think its safe to say you do you have a defective one.

Also, please double check that the particular battery that you have is compatible with SGS2 Hercules model. Look at the battery information and compare it to the stock one. Make sure the voltages match.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I flashed Mr X's kernel, since Faux has been off since 0.07 for me.

When i charged it last night, it was from 0%, and it took around 3 hours to reach 34%, so im estimating the 9 hours based on that.

The stickers on it say 'Replacement for Hercules T989' Li-Ion 3.7v, i dont have my stock battery atm so i cant see if its the same, ill check that later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I find it faster to charge using the usb plug converter instead of off the laptop using the usb cable. If I were you, I'd just use the stock battery until the new one ships in. I believe that's your best bet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I may not even seek a replacement. It was 12 bucks, shipping would cost half the cost of the battery, and it would take them 3-4 weeks to ship another. The original order took 3.5 weeks to be delivered.

Peal off the cover of the battery. It should say how big the battery actually is. I highly doubt its 3500. But you never know:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
I was about to say this. You more or less likely got a fake Chinese battery that claims it's "..." mAh, but in reality it's significantly less. I've seen this happen too many times on the EVO 3D forums.

Here is one of the reviews: Looks like the same story as yours.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lasts same as the original, January 19, 2012

By Sunny - See all my reviewsThis review is from: GTMax High Capacity Extended Replacement Battery (3500mAh) for Samsung T-Mobile Hercules SGH-T989 (Package include a Neck Strap) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I was excited to get this battery thinking that it would atleast give me one and half times more backup than the original. However, the backup i'm getting is not any better than the original battery. I will see for a couple of more days and if it is still same, i'll move back to the original battery and keep this one as back up. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Most cheaper priced batteries out there engage in false advertising. Don't believe the mah numbers you see even if they are the same as the stock oem battery. Its cheap for a reason just like the fake micro sd/flash drives for sale at Ebay. There are also shady vendors in Amazon who pump up their own ratings by leaving positive reviews especially the "ProdiCell" cell phone battery brand. With the exception of Seido and Muge, I would only stick with Samsung oem batteries. The Samsung Nexus extended oem 2100 mah battery is really good for $24.99 (50% off 49.99 at the Verizon store). I do see the extra 14% life. I went 34 hours the other day on stock 2.3.6 before my phone died. I actually ran 30mins of video at the end to run out the charge.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Ill try this out with synergy, since faux i heard was a drainer, and if no luck ill stick my stock battery in and continue to use my ballistic case. Ill also give it one more day.

Never tried an alternative battery till this one, and if im gonna go bulky again ill get that 3900 mah mugen, since that appears to be the real deal.

I went back to rooted stock rom 2.3.6 using Faux's latest #009 mainline kernel.

If you want a good battery without bulging your phone with the Mugen and Seideo batteries I suggest the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2100 mah battery currently 50% off 49.99 at the Verizon store if you can find them. I called around until I found them since the online ones sold out fast. It FITS inside your phone with no issues and the back completely snaps and closes. Then you can use all standard cases for this phone.

Didn't someone say, "Nothing decent is on sale at that deep of a discount" ?

And damn, mine arrived today .....

Installed it, back cover is smooth, a little slippery, but the extra size and weight is nice. Power widget indicated 62% on the OEM battery and 84% on the GTMax battery.

Hope....hope ....hope ....

hmm...coincidence .... microsdhc card seems to have been corrupted .....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] avarize:
I did say that yes, but the difference there is that it's an OEM battery, you need to use some discretion.

Chinese battery at 80% discount is bad.

OEM battery at 50% discount from reputable company is good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
That's actually my review which i gave them. I got this battery and for initial couple of days it did not last long then the stock battery. However, after couple of days of use and complete discharge and recharge twice, i was actually getting a little more backup. Although the backup was not that impressive and the fat back cover is not worth. So it is now resting in drawer as a standby battery. I'm back on stock battery and the phone's slim feel is awesome :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kueh:
Well, after a couple of weeks of using this battery, I'm ending my day with plenty of charge left. This is with some game playing during the day, which for me is the biggest power consumption besides the display. I am using Easy Battery Saver at the intelligent setting. For the price, this battery is well worth it.

It did take about a week before I noticed an appreciable better battery life. That may be because I restarted the battery app about the same time.

Hi all,

Last night I installed the CM9 port of ICS to my Galaxy Tab GT-P7510. All is okay generally, other than my apps, most have stopped working. So now I need to go back to 3.1/3.2 - How would I do this?

Regards,

Dylan
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezcats:
first of all most of your apps aren't working because either you didn't wipe data or used titanium backup...just wipe everything and redownload everything.

second of all....

download this file for 3.1

http://www.teamovercome.net/p7500/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=12

and if you want you can do the OTA update to 3.2 or download this

Not sure what the steps here are.

Right, I understand now, but now there's a problem. Oden won't pick up my tab, I've installed the correct drivers, even turned debugging off and set it to media storage. Still no COM though, any suggestions?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzzy996:
For future reference what you should do next time is make a clockworkmod nandroid backup of 3.2 prior to flashing ics. That way all you have to do to get back is to boot into cwm, wipe/factory reset and then restore your backup of 3.2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DylanParrin:
I made some sort of backup, is this what it looks like?

If so how would I restore it to that?

Once again thanks for all your help, much appreciated.

Hi All,

I am running on ARHD 6.2.1.XE (ICS 4.0.3) with latest firmware (Firmware from 3.24.401.1 & 3.25.401.101 RUU) and required radio (Radio_11.68.3504.00U_11.21.3504.13_2).

S-OFF, HBOOT 1.27.1100.

I want to go back to ARHD 3.6.13 because of stability issues. Should I install radio back to Radio_10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2 (Recommended for ARHD 3.6.13) or should I keep the current one?

Answers appriciated.

Hi,

The best radio is the one that works.

Keep the one you have and see how it goes.

Do you have a bad signal while you are on 6.2.1?

Recommended does not mean obligatory.

[General Questions and Answers] detz:
So, I have gotten stuck between three different ones...

Samsung Galaxy S II

Samsung Galaxy Note

Samsyng Galaxy Nexus

Upgrading from a HTC Wildfire.

A bit about my usage... I never call. Maybe once every second month. I find the e-mail/browser the most important feature, along with calendar sync with Exchange.

I write relative much in WhatsApp/Sms

Accessories-wise, I kinda want something to protect the front, but I never liked screen protectors, as I'm a horrible perfectionist.. For the S II and Note I know you can get official stuff that covers the screen, but none yet for the Nexus..

I study finances, so if I can read - without problems - PDF, it would be great.

Gaming-wise.. Well, I just want to play stuff like Where's My Water, Cut the Rope, etc...

So, anyone can help me point out which probably is best for my needs?
[General Questions and Answers] royercross:
I recomend for you the Galaxy Note, since it have all the others features plus a huge screen for reading PDF.
[General Questions and Answers] acfrazier:
I would be inclined to agree, the Galaxy Note would be the best for reading documents on the go.
[General Questions and Answers] detz:
How's the battery time on the Note compared to Nexus/S II?
[General Questions and Answers] I Am Marino:
Not sure about the battery differences but if you're studying up on things and reading PDFs, definitely the Note.
[General Questions and Answers] saag66:
The Galaxy Note seems to be a cross between a phone and a tablet. I've got a Galaxy S2 and I am very happy with it. For your purposes though I think the Note with it's bigger screen will be best.

i think galaxy note will be awesome for you :D
[General Questions and Answers] jbarbosa93:

[General Questions and Answers] detz:
Really appreciate the opinions :)

Could only find the S II / Nexus in stores today, and if I had to choose between those, I think I would choose the S II.. The Nexus is nice, but it just doesn't seem quite as well-done as the S II.

Without a doubt a great phone, but feel it's a bit underwhelming.

[General Questions and Answers] Android311:

If you can upgrade to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on the Note that would be your best bet if not you might consider the Nexus.

I just got my sensation and am loving it!

Unfortunately I discovered the phone is very sensitive to shocks / dropping. I've dropped it from my laptop which is just a few centimeters, after some other small drops it reboots itself.

Is it just my phone or is it a common problem?
[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
Not on mine... I dropped mine 24 inches high but no reset... Dropped a couple of times... Just make sure the battery is secure in its place.... If the battery is loose that might be the problem. Make sure the back cover is not loose too...

[HTC Sensation] melvinvm:
I tried to reproduce it and it seems to happen when it lands flat on the screen. Dropped from 3cm / 1 inch so loose battery seems unlikely.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
If batt is loose u can use paper and fold it to pinch it between the body and the battery. I had a sidekick years ago where the spring inside the sd card holder broke. Glued paper to the case and it held it in place.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluerap04:
Ever since I first got this phone, I have been unable to detect/mount the SD card in CWM, and under "Storage" in "Settings."

Oddly, I have no issues accessing "sdcard" in the My Files folder, or in Root Explorer.

Whenever I flash a ROM, I have to select "choose zip from internal" instead of "choose zip from sd card."

I have no issues with doing this, however the reason I think that I should fix this is because I keep having problems with Market FC's and "phone is not compatible" error messages when trying to get apps from the market. Also, I am unable to use Nandroid in CWM because of this.

I have followed the instructions here except I obviously was unable to format the SD card.

Thanks for any help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bluerap04:
I got help in another thread and fixed my Market compatibility problems.

Thanks to Schwaxdoc for that.

So no more issues with the market anymore. I'm still interested seeing if there's anything I can do about my sd card not mounting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phantasmagoric:
I've had the same issue, ROM Manager tells me that the SD card needs to be mounted when it already shows as mounted in settings OR it says "unavailable" in the space for both internal and external.

I can fix it by removing the SD card, turning off the phone, inserting the SD card, and turning the phone back on.

It almost always reoccurs every time I flash a new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
I'm having the same problem, and I've tried to use seanscreamz fix in the link you posted but that didn't work (but, like you said, since I can't mount the sd card I can't format it :mad: ).

Does anyone have another solution? Even after going back to stock, wiping data, cache, system etc. nothing seems to work. I can't use ROM Manager, can't restore nandroid backups, can't mount the damn sd card!

I've attached a picture of the Storage display if it helps (USB Storage appears to be my sd card and the sd card is 0 out of 0).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skrambled:
Woo hooo!!! Fixed it. I can now run Nandroid backups and presumably restore them.

I'm not sure what worked, but I think it was flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager. The Odin-flashable cwm I had didn't have the options for "Backup to Internal SD Card", "Advanced Restore", etc.

Other things that may have helped:

--Tried seanzscreams repair here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21424179&postcount=1 (but obviously couldn't format the SD Card that I couldn't mount).

--Flashed back to stock, wiped data/cache in 3e recovery.

--Rooted, then clean install of Alien 5.5 rom using DARKSIDE SUPER WIPE first (new! found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487706)

But I'm pretty sure that flashing the latest CWM from ROM Manager was what fixed it.:cool:

I'm hearing everywhere that the phone will be obsolete in a couple of months. I'm scared I might get out dated when I just bought this phone like 1 months ago. Should I get rid of it and get a sgs2 while I still can or what should I do?

Thank you for reading this.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Even if HTC were to discontinue the phone today it's still a 1.5ghz dual core 4G phone. The SGS2 is pretty much identical in specs. If the phones are so similar and the Amaze is no longer in production but the SGS2 is, then is the Amze "obsolete?" Your definition of obsolete must be different than mine.

With the second generation dual core and first generation quad cores on the horizon. Not to mention the big hardware specification push, it is/will be soon obsolete.
