[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noberly0203:
Have you called customer service and told them your problem. It seems to me: if you are running the original rom something is wrong. Out of the box my rocket held a charge for about 30 hours with light use with wifi , data on. After flashing sky Ics it doesn't last but about 2 or 3 hours of streaming radio. I am going to go back to the of original rom and c if that helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Streaming anything is far from light use. 400 to 500 texts a day is not light use and 30 hrs on stock only if you don't use it at all smh

Battery Life

i bought my phone back in November and i tested the battery life at nights:

I charged the phone to max and disconnect it just before i am going to bed.

When i woke up the first week i was normally loosing 4% per hour with minimal usage! (i get around 50 emails at night - SYNC is ON all the time, GPS is off, no BT, Wifi is off or ON (it did not matter), i don't live in LTE area.

the battery life is 100% ATT fault!

CIQ, bloware you name it - your phone cannot go into true deep sleep!

One thing i learned about Android (from the happy Froyo days) do not use task killer, juice defender and other so called battery helpers! it is actually worse for your battery life since the apps you are killing will turn back on and each time you do so it take more from your battery...

the phone designed to be used!

My solution was to flash a rom that ensure no CIQ on my phone.

this is not a solution for everyone but it did improve my battery life to 1% per two hours during limited activities.

i also fly a lot and normally on a 12 hours flight if i don't use my phone (flight mode and no games, music) i losses 1% at worse!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
I hate to burst your bubble .But actually there is a flaw with the skyrocket. It continues to scan for a wifi connection. Even wheb you are connected. So actually the wifi drains your battery like crazy

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

If you want the most out of your batt. Turn wifi off. Set sceen display to about 20 percent. Turn off all sync. Turn off bluetooth. Turn off all location settings. Screen time out 15 seconds. Download titanium backup. Freeze. Google maps. And any other unused apps. Also im sure theres a few app you have downloaded. That are not helping. Do not overclock.

odd that you had trouble getting an exchange. My guess is that if the OP spoke to the Reps the way he spoke to most of the people posting in this thread then that is why he didnt get an immediate replacement.

It took me 10 minutes talking to ONE rep to get a replacement Skyrocket after explaining my issue (deadzone on the touchscreen).

Yeah this may not be the same as your issue, but this isnt my first replacement for a smartphone and I have NEVER had an issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
before the op makes such a post there are several posts in the dev section explaining how to get better battery life. I myself was getting 6-8 hours as well with extremely heavy usage, which is probably what he was doing. Now I'm getting 14 hours with non-stop texting/video/gaming, and upto 20 hours moderate usage. Search is ur best friend
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
I've been using Juice Defender ever since I got this phone.

It has helped A LOT!!!!

I would recommend it and recommend spending the cash for ultimate. I have the night profile set so when I am asleep, it shuts down my data. Phone calls still work, text still works just no data.

I also have it set so that when the screen is off, only three apps stay connected, messagess, voicemail and iheart radio. Other than that all other data is off.

With heavy usage (streaming iHeart radio at work all day - in an LTE area) I will make it home with 25-30% battery left. That is with the phone off the charger around 11pm at night and until I get home around 5pm the next day.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TayzGpa:
My wife just received the text from ATT that Gingerbread was ready to download to her Captivate. We are planning on doing that since she is still on Froyo.

My question is this, is there a way to pull the kernal and rom from her phone after she updates and put it on a different Captivate. I would like to learn a little bit about the procedure if there is a way and give it a try. Would Rom Manager do the trick? I have an extra Captivate that was given to me by a friend who upgraded to a different phone so I have a Captivate to "play with". I am trying to learn a little about how all this works so any steps, links, advice, etc would be grealy appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arse87zx:
If you are looking for a stock rom I would recommend checking out the stickie in the development thread. It has a variety of one click packages. It would also recommend doing a lot of research before hand. There is a ton of information on these forums. The more you read, the less likely you are to have problems in the process. Good luck!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mapeterson:
What do you guys think the best ROM for the Atrix 4G is? I was using Neutrino 2.1p and then jumped on the ICS bandwagon with the ICS port (Its still in Alpha - heavily under development).

Neutrino has to be one of the best ROM's I've ever experienced. It's well maintained and has a host of performance improvements.

The ICS alpha is going well but its a long way away from matching the maturity of Neutrino.

BUT i figured out if i hold volume up, the home button, and the power button and turn it on it boots! great right? no not really as when ever it boots everything works properly BUT it is roaming all the time! i can still send text messages but i cannot call or use 3-g. Please help me get the stock rom back and instructions on how to download and install it! idk if any of this helps but here it is:

I have adb and fastboot set up on my laptop, I just recently put Ubuntu back on here and just finished setting up my sdk and such a couple hours ago. I know its set up fine because adb works and I am getting fastboot output from my terminal, but its not reading my device. if I just type fastboot, the help will come up, and when i prompt for devices I get nothing, I have tried three different cables. Any ideas? fastboot tends to be unreliable for me in the past more so than adb. I just don't know what I can do now..

As of right now no, were all basically stuck. Htc say they'll release a update at the end of the month to allow unlocking but that will void your warranty. Im just waiting for a crack for this version. Shouldn't Be too long i hope.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
I did not realize that this phone still had an unlocked bootloader when I purchased it a few days ago. It's unfortunate how the HTC Unlocker was glitchy with the MT4GS; it might be why there's such a lack of development right now, haha.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I think we can start shelving the idea that there's a lack of dev for the device - some definite strides being made in that direction now.

We could always use more people helping make stuff, though.

----

I need a copy of an S-ON bootloader that has not been unlocked.

I need both S-ON 1.44.0007 and S-ON 1.45.0013 - if anyone can get either to me that would be great.

They are only 1MB in size and can be attached to a post in the forum.

If you can get it - attach it as a reply to this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254518

The terminal command to back up a copy of it is:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

That will place a copy of your hboot on your sdcard, called hboot.img, if run from a terminal.

Nlarge got his unlocked S-ON bootloader added to that thread, now we need some regular S-ON ones to compare them to. If anyone can figure out how to get one to us it would be helpful.

We are trying to work the S-ON issue, but it's not exactly an easy nut to crack and we've mostly just started.

Thanks for any help that can be provided. This may not be all we need, but it's a start.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Cool, we'll look it over and see what we come up with. No promises, just gonna look and see what we see and hope it leads to something.

The hboot may or (more likely) may not be the whole problem for s-off/s-on, but the more we have to play with the more we are learning.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
I tried to copy it with (adb shell <command>) but it says I have permission denied.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Okay, we are working on that, etn4off is leading the charge on adb through stock recovery, so hold that thought.

Meantime, i've whipped up a new version of the stock restore .zip file, that should work on the new OTA.

( Make sure you have a full battery first!)

Edit - didn't work

What you have to do is rename the file to:

PG59IMG.zip

...then place on the main directory of your sdcard.

Make sure fastboot is turned off in settings on the phone, and then power off.

Hold Volume Down and press Power to turn it on, booting into hboot. The installer will take over from there and guide you through it.

It will load itself, then ask you to press Volume UP to install - then does it's thing and will tell you to press power to reboot when it is done.

This is basically the same restore file you get from here: Thread Link updated for the new OTA.

This should solve the version mismatch problem people were having, but won't know until someone tries to install it.

Afterwards you can run Revolutionary to S-OFF your 1.44.0007 hboot.

You will no longer be on the newest OTA, but then you can apply it if you want and go back - as long as you run the Revolutionary process on the 1.44.0007 hboot before you do.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I'm going to try this asap
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] izzy001:
Has anyone tried this? Not that im saying its bad i just dont want to mess up my newest toy...lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
No. That's why I said we won't know until someone tries.

I've run the package on both of my devices, so can attest to it working - but they are both s-off.

I've run it from the device in the newest OTA form, and it brought me back, but the old package did too - seems no version check on my devices (probably any s-off devices)

I've run from all versions of the hboot - 1.44.0006, 1.44.0007, 1.44.1107, and 1.45.0013, but they were all s-off.

As for what happens with an s-on device... ...? I updated the version because in another thread that was pinpointed as the problem for it not installing on the newest OTA.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] izzy001:
Well i tried it... But it didnt even see it as an update... It just checked it and went straight to the hboot menu
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Okay thanks, it was pretty much an 'it will do it or it won't' situation, so we'll have to try something else.

I wish I could get an s-on device in my hands that I could try stuff on - for now it's test and test and test on the s-off, then try on the s-on ...

Sorry it didn't work, we'll have to try another way.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
I'll give this a try as well, even though it supposedly doesn't work. Better try than not.

Is what you're trying to do make the older ROM (with the 1.44.0007 HBOOT) appear as an update to the newer update so we can, in a way, downflash to the older HBOOT that's compatible with the Revolutionary tool?

I'm kind of new to the whole Android scene and am just curious as to how things work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
If this flashes it should revert the phone back to retail launch - but it's probably not going to. Finding a way to force it could have a less then desirable outcome.

If it doesn't take, don't try to force the issue with it unless you know what you're doing and why.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Limewirelord:
Well I tried it as well and it got a check, but it didn't install anything. I wish I had the know-how to mess around with this stuff.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
When it checks and oks it go to recovery in hboot menu

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Something was FU'ed about the 1.55.531.3 OTA release, HTC has suspended the roll-out. They claim it has "performance issues" they are addressing, so they will be rolling out another release soon. Perhaps they will also address the unlocker issues at the same time.

Fun stuff, this is quite the adventure. Unfortunately I am at this step:

1.45.0013 hboot and 1.55.531.3 software version s-on.

Which I guess is great, however my ultimate goal is to be s-off.

Which do you think will happen first?

Downgrade to 1.44.0007 then root?

or

Rooting 1.45.0013?
