It could be a bad ROM (bad install, not the ROM itself), but don't presume that's the case.

Measuring whether the phone is draining appropriately is difficult to do when it's in active use (e.g., 2 hours of browsing) ; thus most people measure effective drain by measuring the drain rate when the phone is 'sleeping' -- though in some cases a bad app or bad install will prevent the phone from sleeping.

I would recommend charging the phone to full, leave all default radios on (GPS/Wifi/3g), and let it sit for an hour or two. If you're losing more than ~3-5%/hour, then you have a problem.

Tools you can use:

- CPU Spy - Will show you whether your phone is entering Sleep state or not

- Battery Monitor Widget Pro - will measure your mA drain rate; during sleep, you'd want it to be at least below 20mA, ideally below 10mA (note, this app requires a couple of charge/discharge cycles before its measurements are reliable).

- Better Battery Stats -- If you find your device is NOT sleeping, this will help you figure out what applications (including the kernel) may be preventing the device from sleeping.

Your point? I could kill my phone in 6 hours too, but why would I want to do that? I play games all the time when I'm out at work or just out in general and I still get over 24 hours of battery. I never use my phone when I'm at home, that's what I have my tv and computer for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
how long has it been since you flashed? Maybe it needs a few cycles to settle. Do you have any wake lock issues? get betterbatterystats app, free for xda members, to check for kernel or partial wake locks.

I'm on BlazerROM 3.7 and getting about 1% every 2 hours on idle. It took me a week to see the battery life i'm getting now. My wife is on calks 2.8.1, I don't know what shes getting but when she gets home from work, she's still around 50%. On stock, she was typically around 30% already.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kash26:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dudeman1st:
I have seen this "mystery battery drain" problem in other threads. There is usually an app responsible. Try Watchdog, its not bad.

I also have heard that SD card or file errors can be responsible for the drain. Formatting the memory takes care of the problem. If it were me, I would format the memory, then run chkdsk (Windoze, or the equivalent in another OS) to mark bad sectors. In the case of internal memory, you will have to do that through the USB cable. Do so at your own risk, of course :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The point is you walk into someones situation and act as if their usage of the device on whatever rom your on is going to produce a parallel experience. One of the biggest factors no matter the rom is screen brightness. If you spend most of your time out doors the experience is completely different even with the same usage patterns otherwise. I love screen brightness personally, haptic feedback is nice too who cares about the battery when the experience is better?

I have games on the phone, GTA III, MC2/3, Dead Space, etc. I don't actually play them. I remote into my PC, browser the web. I have a TON of apps that use the phone idle/background. I keep steam and im+ pro going. I let TEP ping GPS data every 10 minutes. Weather widget, google voice, etc. I even have Samsung Apps installed with its oh so horrible push service that apparently rapes peoples batteries... cant say it hurts at all.

Today was a day for me where my boss was around so I couldn't use the device much and when i did it meant leaving things like a remote client on because I couldn't touch it to turn it off. 52% battery was left after 12 hours so it obviously was going to survive the 16 hours I am awake, going to sleep now so it would easily last 24 hours. But the battery being Li-Ion and me actually caring about it, its going on the charger. Tomorrow could be 30 and the next day will probably be 8 hours.

As far as the topic is progressing. Check your apps and your settings. Ive had battery life so bad the phone died on the charger. Same rom, same apps slightly different setup later and I am getting good to acceptable and that constant wake this guy is probably getting is gone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Wizard Knight:
If your using a lot of push apps, you're battery becomes nothing more than a decoration, lol. Apps like aim, kik, basically all the chat ones. Games like words with friends. The more apps you have checking for updates on top of heavy usage with kill your battery fairly efficiently
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Which personally was part of the issue before on my setup. I still have them going again and battery life is decent. I mean Id want 16 hours out of a phone surely whatever my day is Ill have it on a charger by bed time.

I personally usually get 12 hours or more on days Im not using it constantly, 6 to 8 if I am using it every waking second. 24+ on days off. Haven't tried blazer in particular myself yet but Calks seems manageable even for demanding use.
[General Questions and Answers] RDKitty:
I'm sorry about this post. Because I have less than 10 posts the forum won't let me post in a development forum so I have to post here.

I'm really new at this so please bear with me.

Earlier tonight I rooted my Galaxy S ii with SuperOneClick and installed clockwork and tried to put the cyanogen equivalent of ICS on it... Boot loop. So my friend told me if I flashed litening 6.1 on to it it would fix it.... The boot loop continues. I read the sticky on boot loops and got up to the point where it said to install a stock rom. I went looking for a stock rom and I can't find one with a letter code for canada. I'm scared that if I download the wrong stock rom for the wrong country that I a) won't be able to use my phone or b) everything will be in polish or something. Obviously I'm stuck in a loop so I can't do *#1234# to figure out what I need to do.

Also, I was looking at 3 file installs and in odin I see Bootloader, PDA, CSC and PHONE but nothing about a modem. I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I looked in the wiki and everywhere and I don't know which one of these fields I'm supposed to enter the modem file in. I have both Odin 1.85 and 4.03 on my computer and neither have anywhere that says "modem"

I feel so dumb... Sorry. :confused:

I have a GT-i9100M with Bell mobility.

EDIT: I managed to flash Litening 6.1 on to the phone... Can someone let me know of a good Ice Cream Sandwich lookalike?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] giantenemybird:
Since the anticipation of getting my galaxy note I've already noticed a few instances where I would LOVE to have one already. In general, I have this habit of writing random crap down on paper, and folding the paper up, putting it in my pocket, and losing it later. I'm a pack rat, so if I don't lose them, the papers just build up, even though I don't read them. It would be so handy to just have them all stored in my phone.

I'm looking for some specific examples here. I think this would be kind of fun to talk about.

Specific examples for me:

-while watching youtube videos about Starcraft strategy, I would want to write down the build order on the note, then alt tab into the game and try it out, references what I wrote on the note.

-Quickly writing down my schedule at work, so that I can program it into my phone later when I have time.

-writing down what my coworkers want me to go order for them at random restaurant i go to
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hiii_imkris:
I hope that I find myself in tons of situations where I have to use the pen. Only one I can think of is to pass time at work drawing random pictures.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Using the s-pen to take notes while on conference/speaker phone call . I think that will be handy.

Also I understand smemo (?) can be synced with evernote of which I'm a big user.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
If you get the format down, you can send your handwritten note directly to you s planner (google calendar)

Also when getting a PDF or document, you can take a screen shot, sign or mark up the document and send back. Very convenient.

You can also do a voice recording for a note, handy when driving.

I have started a channel on youtube for video game related content. Deliberately being a jerk in online gameplay. Example: running up behind someone on Call of Duty and kill them in some humiliating fashion. I play a lot of games in a night, and having my phone nearby to jot down what map, date and what it is I did would help a lot.

I could do the same with a notebook and pen, but come on... S pen. ;-)

[G2 and Desire Z General] NrikeCalderon:
Follow the instructions on the next post.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NrikeCalderon:
First you need to get temporary root access, follow this link

http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/20/how-to-root-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision-visionary-method/

Then follow this link and the instructions on how to get permanent root access.

http://theunlockr.com/2010/11/30/how-to-gain-permanent-root-and-s-off-on-the-t-mobile-g2-htc-vision/

This is how I rooted my G2 when I had it. After, you can follow the tutorials on how to load custom ROMs.

Always remember to do a nandroid backup before flashing anything on your phone.

Thanks to theunlockr.com.

Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ohshootrawr:
if he has the latest ota, he needs to follow the whole downgrade, root, s-off process in the g2 dev section.

use the built in search on xda to find it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] NrikeCalderon:
True, my G2 had Android 2.2 when I rooted; since then it got the gingerbread update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ohshootrawr:
On an unrelated note, though, I totally used theunlockr to root my phone ;D although gfree was highly recomended shortly afterwards, I never ran into any problems, which I thought was cool xD VIRTUAL HIGH FIVE BRO!
[G2 and Desire Z General] ext1rpate:
I rooted my G2 by following the cyanogenMod wiki. It's really easy to follow and it worked like a charm. Even my myTouch 4g used the exact same procedure. If you are on gingerbread firmware you will need to downgrade. Guide for that is here and then root the phone with this guide here. From then on you can flash any rom you'd prefer.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Peteragent5:
Can anyone give me a tutorial specifically to the Samsung Galaxy Gio (5660m) on how to UnPack, Pack and Repack the boot.img and or recovery.img (<-- mostly this)and then back to the IMG File(RePack)?

I know when you create a repack (to IMG) command you include a BASE, PAGESIZE(maybe), cmdline, kernel, ramdisk, and -o repackedboot.img

This is why it must be specifically to Gio (in my case 5660M) becasue of the base and cmdline (I think! I'm not sure) BECAUSE when i made a custom recovery.img based on Clockworkmod (I replaced GIO.rle with the stock recovery to make the CWM boot show its 5660M) my phone wouldn't boot up! :confused:

So I flash stock rom (Odin) again LOL and now I want to be safer this time.

Thanks for reading! I need help! Here is my code that made my non-bootable recovery.img:

*NOTE: I use CYGWIN on Windows

Repack to IMG
./mkbootimg --cmdline 'no_console_suspend=1 console=null' --kernel recovery.img-kernel --ramdisk ramdisk-new.gz -o recovery-new.img

Where can I get a hold of the same battery mod that comes with the rom but in blue to match the theme?

Would it be ok if I can post some pictures of the theme for people to see? The ones in the OP are too tiny and it's hard to see them...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alexia Whitehurst:
I am confused lol...

The blue battery is included in the theme itself...

And sure, screen shot whatever you want =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
The battery included it's tiny and I like the one that come with the rom better, at least the numbers are...

Would it be too much if I ask you to make one for me? Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Alexia Whitehurst:
Define too much?

No the battery itself isnt that hard to make... I cant use the one from the stock theme on Anarky as its green... Just, would look stupid... I will find time (as in not right now in this very moment) to make new battery images and do up the xml (xml for charging isnt the same)...

Would the theme battery with larger text work?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BRKotucs:
I'm sorry for not making myself clear and give you such a hard time to understand me.

As far as your last question goes, I do prefer to see the battery with larger text but I don't know what other people want.

I believe the last update I did in post 176 should work on DW 2.6 because I think tdj mostly did kernel updates to it. So try it out and if you find anything wrong let me know and I'll flash to 2.6 and update the theme as soon as I get a chance.

Edit: seems tdj is going to release another update due to the issues in 2.6 so if any issues come up using the 2.5.1 version of sensation with 2.6 I'll wait til the new DW is up to update the theme. That's if we don't have the official T-Mobile ics by then.

could you reduce the icon spacing..
