I'm curious.. how many apps do you keep installed? How will you filter which apps you want and don't want to reinstall from the market.

As for me, the total number of apps I have installed from the Market (including amazon, getjar, xda threads) is approaching 500. But at any time, I have about 200 apps installed on my phone. I don't know what I would have done without Titanium Backup. Using TB, I have assigned a common label to all apps that I want to be installed after a ROM flash so that I don't have to go handpicking through 500 apps after each new flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Well I was on Binnacle rom for a little bit before getting wakelocks again... phone wouldn't go into sleep. I am back on Unnamed. restored from a nandroid. I'm gonna avoid XLA4 like the plague till this gets sorted out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Since I've only been on android for about a month, I don't have quite that amount of apps. I have the basics (Facebook, Tapatalk, setcpu, tibu, b of a). Market shows me as having 37 apps installed, and I have like 9 faotd from amazon.

As for filtering, the market redownloads all that I had downloaded automatically. If I don't want it to download something I just cancel it before it downloads.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] estxxas:
As to my own experiences... I'm on XWLA4 (I'm assuming XLA4=XWLA4) and the only problem I've had was with Email, which was due to me restoring it in TiBu. Wiped data and it works fine. No battery issues. Running like a champ. It has to be an app that's causing you the headaches.

Don't auto restore them when you flash over a new ROM. Use TiBu. Problem solved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
I wasn't the one having problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Misunderstanding.

No one was having the problem. I was saying that when you have a lot of apps, using Titanium Backup is more time efficient than Market restore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Now I know that this is all idle, but this is just to show that its not the base causing this problem, its a rouge app somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I guess I'm just lucky?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Najuto9tail:
I had problems with no deep sleep time used at all, my phone never went to deep sleep!! I did a full wipe 5 times to be sure.. Then installed Lil Rom xla4, then deleted cache again,installed Update 1.3.1, rebooted phone,installed jkay theme tyger touch SE,I restored apps with TIBackup, facebook from market*, recovery again delete cache,use kernel cleaning script by jivy(26),then installed siyah latest kernel... and init.doh 0.3.9b, then went to market disable notifications(only download on wifi). Now for example I get 8 hours of deep sleep out of 9 hours of total use. It really worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Wow! That just inspirational! Can you please share how you did that? kernel, ROM, scripts, battery saving apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
ShishirRom, Siyah 2.6.12, Init.doh 0.3.5 Exp, no battery saving apps, wifi all the time, backups/location enabled, twitter every 15 minutes, and gmail sync.

Fresh install without facebook, power saving widget (who knows might make a difference), Latest swype beta as keyboard, samsung apps notificaion off, samsung dive enabled, 200-1000 conservative, 200-500 screen off, undervolt both cpu+gpu. Esentially no apps that MAY cause a wakelock of any kind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
Another one, if you don't use google talk, set it to not automatically log you in and sign out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
I used tibu to uninstall that lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
After a day of trying to kill my battery on Binnacle, here's my results...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
I'm not seeing any unwarranted drain on LA4(Currently on Binnacle). Phone will enter deep sleep without any issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nerdyjim:
I have been using XLA4 as well, testing different ROMs here and there. I have had great battery life with the XLA4 Base. I also listen to podcasts for about 6-7hours 5 days a week while at work with no issue. I agree with most and say it is a rouge app somewhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Well I'm currently on UnNamed 2.2.1 with some OC and UV mods. using Voltage control I'm also on CFQ + Ondemand and I'm running between 200-1200mhz and I have been able to squeeze out this...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Whoops looks like I posted too early.

But yeah that looks good for your usage. As long as AS is higher than AOS then you know you dont have a problem with something keeping your phone awake.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I personally think these numbers to be pretty good :-) Best I've had/seen on my phone in a good long while now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] howie_ddt:
you change kernel siyah new
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Nope. Entropy's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
Just wanted to drop a line to say thanks for all the tips in this thread. I had almost the same problem as Alucardis - came from Unnamed 2.2.1 to Shishir 0.7 (Siyah 2.6.11 kernel, KK6 modem) and saw a LOT more battery drain. What worked for me was to uninstall all the apps I had restored with Titanium Backup and re-download them from the market. After doing this battery drain has definitely decreased.

Wish I knew which one it was exactly but oh well. It definitely wasn't Facebook anyway since I don't use it.

Side point - Hate to say this but that kind of kills the whole point of TiBu for me. The data backup is good to have but most apps I use have the data in the cloud somewhere and I don't have too many games. Couple this with having to avoid restoring system apps & data when switching ROMs...it's still a great app but maybe I don't really need it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndAllThingsWillEnd:
I would say that once you have downloaded them from the market, re backup everything and you should be good from that point forward.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
I have to say I'm definitely noticing a bit more drain on LA4. I'm on LilRom 1.3.1 now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
Thanks, that's a good point.

Sent via XDA app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Yea I was able to improve the drain a bit but overall it seems like the pro's don't out weigh the con's. I'm gonna steer clear of XLA4 and wait for better/more refined edits of the pre-existing ROM's or maybe a new base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
Just curious, how many days did you have the same xla4 rom on your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Probably 23 hours, I always see Alucardis switching roms for every update. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
How do I drop 7% in a half hour with just tapatalk use?? Is that normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Is that with LiLRom or another?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Whats your battery life like idle? If theres a background drain it would cause your battery to drop drastically. Also did you just pull it off the charger?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Yep. Half an hour screen on would cost me 7% battery. Are you using auto brightness? if so, try going to fixed brightness and set it low, you might see improvement. I plan for 15%	per hour of screen on...seems pretty consistent across roms/kernels for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] NJGSII:
I take back everything I said about XWLA4. It seemed that my battery problems were app related instead of firmware related. Deleted facebook and BBS and everything seems better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
About 1-3 days each ROM I tried.

But I Like my facebooks :-/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Yup that sounds about right. The moment I install facebook, I get high AOS usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
That is on LilRom and fixed brightness set to just above the lowest setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
If I get a chance to do a 30 minute straight run, I'll back my brightness down to, say, 10 percent and see what I get. I'm on ICScrewD 2.1 which is LA4 base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
So do you all not use FB or do you access it through the browser or some other non-official app?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
I use FB app but I get wakelocks once in a while, I almost want to just use the browser from now on.

LilRom 2.0 (not released) that awake with no screen on time was FB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] K Rich:
Our addiction with Facebook and battery life puts us in a tough place
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
I use the Titanium Backup freeze/defrost/open widget for Facebook. One click to defrost and open facebook and another click on that widget to freeze it again after accessing it. Works great for me :)

Edit: I created shortcut to Faceboook bookmark (Dolphin HD) in a Simi Folder before this widget. I have a Simi Folder for all "SHARE" category apps that include G+, Tweetcaster, FB bookmark, etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
I hate FB and dont use it AT ALL. The app is horrendous too. People who dont use FB (like me) see AWESOME battery life with XLA4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
The only thing I like about the Facebook app is the contact photo integration, but everything else sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
I just use my browser to access fb. Battery life is my obsession on this phone so I steer clear of that app. I also just didn't find the app itself cool enough to keep when I can just open my browser and click a quick link
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KeiranSolaris:
I'm running Illusion-xT v1.8.0 - XWLA4 and I have never installed facebook and I have great battery life. Better then I had on CM7 or Unnamed 1.3.2 or 2.2.1. Idle the phone drains about 1-1.5% an hour and that's with Wifi, bluetooth, and GPS constantly on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
What kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I always open Advanced Task Killer Pro and nuke Facebook when I'm done with it.

Some people claim that task killers are unnecessary on Gingerbread due to memory management improvements - they forget about ****ty wakelock-grabbing apps like Facebook.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jhermit:
Friendcaster. I have not had any battery drain issues there. Its free.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rklatte:
I still have had some excessive battery drain (same XWLA4 ROM), finally got BBS installed and started snooping at partial wakelocks. Looks like the TouchWizCalendar got me too - see this thread for a discussion and fix:

[HTC EVO 3D] Cuppeerr:
I thinks there's also an evo in ncis
[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
yeah i know, it's about how ridiculous the product placement is. The entire scene only serves a single purpose: "Look, it's my Sprint phone and i can use QiK's Videocalling service, now back to whatever was happening before."

They switched to Ford shortly before FOX considered ending the series and not giving it another season iirc.

It is indeed. Derpham was a joke ;).
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Oh ok. Didn't know. I watched this week's episode bc I was bored and wtf is going on?

Oh I see what you did there. Is anyone torn between thinking she is hot or not?
[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
typical JJ Abrams stuff unfortunately. He jumps all over the place with different story lines and elements and re-introduces them at some point or just forgets about them and sometimes even over the course of 3 or 4 episodes. It's LOST all over again lol.

Stuff like: "Hey, so, like, last episode there was a new form of shapeshifters that infiltrate every part of both universes, but whatever, here is an old villain, remember, he showed up 2 seasons ago, it is still not clear what he is planning, but it's not like we are going to reveal it at some point anyways. Oh and next episode will be completely unrelated to any plotline, but maybe we'll throw in one of the observers looking mysterious just to confuse you."

She flip-flops a lot between "what a beautiful and gorgeous woman" and "meh... okay...". I've narrowed it down to the difference in lighting, perspective and her facial expression, but still can't put my finger on it.

I've been trying to flash a new rom, and I can't. Fastboot pops up every time I try to boot recovery saying "No boot or recovery image"

My phone still boots it's rom normally and can connect to the computer via usb just fine, but I've tried flashing several different CWM recoveries and none of them work, it all just gives this same error. I can't re-flash now, and this rom is not working well. What do I do?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
are you spelling the name of the recovery correctly? is the recovery file(.img) in the same folder in your computer as fastboot is?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stellar:
Search "flash image GUI" I think, here on xda, on the thread download the apk, then install on your phone, then go to rom manager the WEBSITE, find a recovery image that corresponds with your phone then download it. Now go to flash image gui and flash the CWR image you just got like 2 or 3 times just so it sticks now see if it works. :)

Currently running Bliss from Team Nocturnal, and every now and then have an issue with the phone actually doing a 180 degree and mirroring so the phone is unusable . A reboot fix's, but getting bored, heard 3/1 sprint is releasing ICS, but see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1513615 it's out there.

It's been a while so I'm a bit lost when I read FBx, FBy, etc. so just wondering, as I see that thread saying CWM will be gone, so just want to make sure I don't break sh*t since this is my only phone!

So .. when I see 'flash the modem also' so I assume I would just do the following, plz confirm;

1. run the format all

2. flash the de-ox'd

3. flash the radio

4. reboot & enjoy..

Did I miss anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
uh oh you sure you posted this in the right place
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] altroy:
I could be incorrect but I don't think this should be in the DEV section. Maybe you should try asking this in the general section.

Like others have said this question should be in the Q&A section.

For you screen issue on BLEND, if you have the lockscreen settings go to general and set both animations to normal and then back to fast, now reboot your phone. If you dont have the lockscreen settings, open your app called spare parts and set your animations to something other than fast and then then back to fast and reboot.

If your thread title is a question then dont ya think it should go there instead of where roms gets posted??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alex1x:
I made the mistake of "asking questions" in the development section, here. I learned you'll find answers to general questions in the "questions and answers section."

That said, the newest ICS is FB21. Since it just came out, wait a day or maybe 2...then find the ICS ROM you want to install and usually in the 1st or 2nd post it'll give you install instructions.

In General, install instructions are:

1. Format all

2. Factory reset (most of the time, for best results)

3. Flash compatible modem (will be listed under Rom of choice)

4. Flash Rom

5. Enjoy...

Personally, I flash Roms which already include CWM...

Disclaimer: I am well aware of all the legal issues of recording telephone calls.

Has anyone been able to record telephone calls with their AT&T Galaxy Note? There were some modified audio .so files available for the international version that enabled this functionality, but when I pushed them to my AT&T Note, the phone would not boot:eek:

I also tried a few applications from the market, no luck capturing the other person's voice. I love this phone, and had high hopes of being able to record calls.

Thanks for any information or suggestions!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
I've been just assuming Total Recall was working like it did on my international Note, but it's not! I just tried every setting I could, and it will not record the other side of the conversation (other than through the mic...) This is really disappointing. AT&T, YOU SUCK! Yet another negative compared to the international version.

I don't suppose you've tried dr.ketan's call recording solution for the international Note? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1415310&highlight=recording

Once CWM is available for the AT&T version I'll give this a try (after a nandroid backup), but I don't know how to flash it otherwise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ukic:
Try AllCallRecorder. Make sure you go to settings and click on 'Record Other Party".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KarenWalker:
Yes, these are the audio .so files that I pushed. Since there is no CWM yet, I used ADB to push the files and give them permission but then my Note would not boot up so I reverted back to the original files. I also tried the Call Recorder S application alone and it did not work.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KarenWalker:
Thank you for the suggestion, but it did not work and I tried both with and without a headset.

+1 for CallRecorder...Works perfectly...just wish I could turn it on/off per call via a widget or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] georgios73:
May I suggest "The call recorder" from market.

I found that it records incoming voice much clearer and i like the auto record setting. The pro version is cheap and lets you record unlimited calls. Ignore the negative reviews it works perfect on the note.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxh:
I tried "The Call Recorder" and it didn't work. Well it recorded something, but it saved in a .amry file format I've never heard of, and my Note's never heard of it, either. I couldn't play back the recording from the app, from anything else on the Note, nor from my laptop, trying even VLC! I googled the .amry file extension and couldn't find anything about it, either.

CallRecorder works great, though, with sound quality better than Total Recall that I was using before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KarenWalker:
This is interesting. I tried "The Call Recorder" as well and it did not work for me either. My Note was able to play the .amry files just fine, but the other person was very faint and it did not work with a any type of headset. I am going to have to flash the stock rom and try some of these other apps without any other applications since I am intrigued as to why some apps work only for some folks.

I second the CallRecorder again...the call quality is great even with my bluetooth which is huge for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] btothec:
WOW -- I have been trying everything I can get my hands on to get this working. CallRecorder_v.1.1.6_trial.apk did the trick. It records both sides out of the box. Awesome! Just to clarify this is an AT&T Galaxy Note :)

Its a great idea but I want to default to not record and then record on the fly. Hopefully I can find an app to do that.

Does this work with bluetooth headsets on the NOTE? are you guys using any special kernels or roms to get his work? or completely stock rom / kernel? I find this unbelieveable and wonderful if true!
