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

First of all, I'm new around here and I have my galaxy S2 for around 1 week.

On my first CustomRom I had an issue where it was draining my battery really fast in standby, so I changed the rom to checkrom revohd v4.

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKK5-CL754841 root@DELL144 #2

(I believe its syah)

My standby drain problem was over.

Yet, I downloaded Betterbatterystats to double check and it looked fine.

Now, I have another problem.

I'm not naive and I know games consume alot of battery but I am using data off, bluetooth off, gps off, brightness at 10% or 5% all the time, sound at minimum (sometimes even off) while gaming.

In games, no matter which one, it drains really quick.

Now, as you have noticed the smartphone is on for about 23h without charging.

You may say its good, but I barely touched the smartphone except 10min of gaming maybe and some calls/texts.

My question is, its it normal that it drains like this on games?

Also, can you guys notice that sometimes the battery has some charge spikes? So LOL, it recharges battery without being connected to the charger or USB? Is that possible?

I should also say that I already did the battery calibration app.

Please I hope you guys can help me out, I'm sure this drain on games is too much because it didnt drain this much some days ago with my old customrom (however it drained alot in standby)

Edit: I changed kernel to Speedmod hoping to some have improvements while gaming but nop.

Let me say, I tried a game called Guns Bro for 10minutes and it drained me 10% of battery.

From my maths, I can play for 100 minutes, not even 2 hours before the battery dies.

Is this normal? Each 1~2 minute draining 1% battery while gaming? What can I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyldman:
you guys know if this is normal? 2~3 hours of gaming...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Shady:
Yea the SGSII dies pretty fast when playing games, I'd say around 3 hours of game time is normal. If you wanna play a lot of games, the iPhone is your solution (or a PS vita)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Dude,I don't know about Gun Bros,but Dungeon Defenders will **** your battery up and make your device overheat.It's probably a fault of the game.I'm playing Dead Space,NFS Hot Pursuit,Modern Combat 3 and some others,and I can easily top 2 hours.And that's with my device overclocked(both CPU and GPU) and with about 75% brightness.

Also,DON'T calibrate your battery.It's useless on the S2 as our fuel gauge chip takes care of that very well.As for the spikes,battery percentage is an estimate and,as such,it can be wrong.Give it time and it'll converge towards the real battery level.

Alright Thanks I was just afraid it was draining too fast for some reason that shouldn't exist.

Hi, I would like to know how I can toggle Recent App of ICS. It can be shown by long clicking on the home button. The one that has preview because I don't like to be pressing so much my home button as I am noticing improper responses from it. Is there a way to put this as an icon or widget on the homescreen? Thx

I found what I was looking for in app LMT using the "invisible swipe gestures" set to top center of screen so that swiping top left is notifications, top right is quick settings, and top center opens recents. This is for anyone who might be searching and happen to land on this dead thread. Any other particular method of shortcut will work if you set it to Activities>SystemUI>Overview.recents is the path to this.

[Droid Incredible General] whitedragon551:
I have an extended battery (1500mah) vs the OEM 1300mah. I run MIUI and Incredikernel. I was getting good battery life. My phone was lasting all day up until the about 2 weeks ago. I havent changed ROM's or kernels for well over a month.

My battery now on a good day will go 10 hours or so and be totally drained.

Just wondering what it could possibly be? The only thing I can think of is I added PlayerPro and have a widget on one screen and I put about 4-5Gbs of music on my SD Card. That is all I have changed.
[Droid Incredible General] whitedragon551:
Anyone have a clue? I may consider switching kernels.

Hard to say, but I would suspect a rogue app...have you tried system panel or watchdog to see how long apps run in the background?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lars_1808:
Hi there!

I am Lars, 25 years old, student and from the Netherlands.

I am new at XDA but not new in flashing.

I had GingerReal2 for a long time at my SGS1 and after that I wanted ICS.

So at first I flashed ICS from Onecosmic, after that I had ICS TinyFeather for dutch grounds.

This one was great, but my batterylife was soso, 11 hours at one load.

I was searcing for something new (like always) and I found SURFACE on XDA.

I flashed this last friday, everything went well, but yesterday my battery was half way and my phone shut down and went in recovery. I did a reboot, but it stays in the bootloader.The phone did soft resets on and on, after 30 min the phone was on again but when I wanted to open the lockscreen it stopped again.

Once I got home, I charged my phone and everything was working again.

My batterylife is dramatic, 7 hours and its dead.

Untill now I have had some soft reboots when I treid to open Whatsapp an Mail.

Did I do something wrong? Is this a formilliar problem?

What can I do?

P.s. Sorry for my English!

ive got rom manager and when i try to install clckwork i get the signature error

clockwork failed to verify whole-file signature

FIRMWARE: 2.3.4.

KERNEL: 2.6.35.7

BASEBAND: M130L.VD29.0502.LT

BUILD#: GINGERBREAD.VG05

its cdma.

i only want clockwrk so that i can make a backup and restore it just in case i mess up nothing else, once clockwork is on the i'll be happy :)

any help would be much appreciated. thanks.

What ROMs are the most up to date nad coolest for this Xoom?

If i root is can i charge using USB?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Use the Universal Xoom Root Tool, available in the Development section (created by solarnz).

The EOS ICS nightly builds (also in Dev. Section) include the build for your UK 3G model...check it out.

The Xoom doesn't charge on USB...it has two batteries and still charges very quickly with wall charger...USB charging would be impossible.

[About XDA developers] typci:
First, how cheap is cheap?

Second, how much power do you need?

Third, which phone service provider are you using?

You know China mobile and China telecom have their own special 3G protocol so most phones can't do 3G on their networks. If you use one of them you'll have to buy a special phone to use with them. I'm speaking from experience on this one.

If you use China Telecom, they have HSDPA and you can use just about any phone you want.

Huawei U8800/U8800+ or U9000 is a great deal for the price. They are around 1200 RMB on taobao. You'll also be supporting Chinese product development, which increases competition, which is good for everyone. I know the U8800 has Cyanogenmod, mui, and asop. I've had one for the past 6 months and I've got no complaints. It's got good battery life and will overclock 1.8GHz. Sure it's single core and only 512Mb ram, but software always takes time to catch up to hardware so you can afford to be one step behind. If you're looking for a cheap phone with good specs, it's good deal.

Difference

Sorry for this question. What are the differences between internal and external? Does internal completely wipe and remove all Nook software, and external only boots CM7 with the card in and boots Nook style without?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tonyp22:
For those on Windows machines (like me!), the free Mini Partition Wizard Home Edition can be used to create the SD card partitions. In this case just make the first partition Primary and Active; that will allow it to be seen as a bootable partition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
For Internal you need to have CWM running (either from SDcard or internally) and it WILL wipe your stock setup.

External runs purely from the SDCard and will not mess with your internal data.

Remember that Celtic and I are the only ones who have tested this as of yet so there may be unfound bugs! This is Beta after all ;)

Please report all bugs here, do not PM us. We will try to validate and then correct them.

Enjoy everyone!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Yes sure just shrink the partitions a little to fit :)

We'll be adding a small modification to allow SDCard simulation when booting form card which will require adding a 4th partition later to act as the SDCard

On the SD card, is there a reason why when it's inserted after NT is started normally, ES File Explorer and Root Explorer cannot see the card? RE says the SD card is unmounted. I have verified that the card partitions have been properly made using MiniTool Partition Wizard in Windows.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DarkDvr:
You can copy into ext4, enable it in the settings.. by default it mounts as read-only, I didn't mention that.

Also, looks like it can't handle lots of copying. Buffer overflows or something. Copy in small parts, don't queue the while directory.

A really important update: Galaxy on Fire 2 THD works with Chainfire 3d and Nvidia plugin! And it loads a tad faster than on the NC. This is one of my son's favorite games but loading was so slow as to make almost unplayable on the NC (adreno version works great on HP Touchpad with CM7).

**** I had to restore from Titanium backup because I got what seems like a typical error with this beta: "Cannot install on USB storage or SD card." ****
