I've had good battery life ever since first rooting my phone, so I'll share again what I always do. On stock, my battery was good for 10 to 12 hours of light to moderate use. I now regularly go 2 days between charges. You can see my ROM history in my signature, and it has been true across the board. To be clear, I don't always have good battery life upon flashing a new ROM, but these techniques always straighten me out.

1. Flash clean on a full battery.

2. Play with the phone, apps, etc. to get it set up how I want it.

3. Wipe battery stats in CWM.

4. Run the phone all the way down until it shuts down on its own (Tower defense games on a bright screen will help this along).

5. Leaving phone off, I charge it all the way up.

6. Once fully charged, I unplug the charger for a bit and then plug it in again, it will charge some more.

7. Play with the phone, let it run down all the way again until it shuts down on its own.

8. Repeat steps 5 and 6.

Now, I'm fully aware that this may have some detrimental effect on the long term life of my battery, but I've been doing this for about a year with great results. The phone is two years old, and those monster SGS2 aftermarket batteries only run $20 a pair. If this one gives out one day, I'll get over it pretty fast.

P.S. I've been using Neh4pres's AOKP auto brightness settings since he posted them, and I've had nothing but great results.

Hey can some post to Steve his 3.1 test with his kernel everything work except the compass seems to be off by 180° even after multiple calibrations.

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
Got it thanks
[Fascinate General] endomatic:
Steve,

A couple more things I have noticed. In call volumes are funky. Very week initially after install to the point that I had to use Tasker to get the volume to where I could hear it. I seem to recall some tweak back on ICS where you could change the volume via terminal to turn it down, but now I need to turn it up....

Wifi is flaky (on and off) and doesn't seems to always coincide with phone idle.

Other than that is seems pretty sweet and stable.

I'll be sending a twelve pack your way soon......

Cheers
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I am currently on M6.....fassy.....I should be able to flash JB and the JB GAPPS through the recovery ( wiping all three of course ) correct?
[Fascinate General] NPOA556:
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give your routine a try. If it improves it, that would indicate that it is not an issue of ROM settings but, rather, a battery calibration issue.

Steve,

tests on jb_fascinate_test4

wifi works

3g data works

SMS work on both WIFI and 3G

MMS borked on both

GPS works both on Verizons system and off (Mtn Biking last night)

Edit: compass still borked

Overall impressions are good for test4. the WIFI 3g bars are still flaky. WIFI worked well on M^ at work with a weak signal, but on JB it will toggle back and forth between 3g and WIFI and when I look in settings I get the "Temporarily avoiding weak signal" message...

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

One other thing on JB test4.

I have dropped more calls today than any time in the past . Radio is EH03

Problems when restoring user apps + data from TiBu

I don't have enough posts to post this in the Dev forum, so I hope somebody is reading this one. I am running AOKP 40 with Devil 1.1.0. I tried a few weeks ago and again today to install AOKP MS6. I started from scratch, going all the way back to stock, then THS build 2, then AOKP MS6. All of that works just fine. But after I restore my user apps + data (NO SYSTEM DATA), every single app FCs with a message about bad data. I have tried making a new backup with TiBu in case the first one was corrupt or something. Same problem. I did not have the problem when first switching from GB to AOKP, so I think my process is OK. I have looked around the forums and haven't found anything I am missing. What gives? The only reason I even want to switch ROMs is that my video camera doesn't work on AOKP 40. Is there a setting in TiBu that will fix this restore problem? Is there something special about MS6 that makes TiBu backups from older versions of AOKP incompatible with it? If I can't get this working, I will have to nandroid back and will be stuck on AOKP 40 with no video camera forever.

Edit: OK, so I bit the bullet and installed MS6 and manually restored all my settings. TiBu was able to restore apps w/o data. My video camera worked. For a day. When I switch it from camera mode to video mode, the image goes black. If I press the record button, the camera app FCs. Any suggestions for how to fix this? Thanks!

Chillin' like Bob Dylan on m6 and plan to do so till JB gets a bit more settled down (maybe - it's hard not to bleed on the edge).

I love that AOKP has integrated weather, but I really wish I could updated the weather icons. Apparently, it's not all that hard to inject them using a tool such a Zipthemer, but I guess I'm just a bit scared to give it a try. Does anyone know of any replacement icons compatible with m6 that would be easily flashable? I'd love to have the Tick icons found in these two RW threads on the subject:

Missed phone calls

Sorry I don't have enough posts to post in the developer section. I am running AOKP Jelly Bean August 11 2012 version. I am missing phone calls. The phone never rings it just goes to voice mail and the missed call symbol pops up. I was just wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I wiped the big three while installing the ROM. The kernel is the kernel that came with the ROM and the modem is EH03.

Do you ever get "phantom ring " ? Also did you ever find out what "swagger" is for ?
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
I haven't had the phantom ring thingy since the early nightly builds of CM7....have yet to see...err..hear it on ICS...

Still have no idea what 'swagger" toggle is for..only description stated somewhere is that it makes your phone leak butter....whatever that means
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
Ah OK. I only had it once. Do still get where phone will only ring once though. But not all the time. I'm using eh03, not sure if matters. Let me know if you find anything on the "Swagger".
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
yes...ringtone only rings once...so I just edited the mp3..made it longer...works..
[Fascinate General] icemanwbs:
I'm guessing you use some sort of "ring tone maker" ?
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
nope...just used a free audio editing software..Audacity...imported the .mp3 file...copied the 10 seconds of the tone..amended to the end of the tone with the copy..thus..extending or repeating the tone....export as mp3 320k...put on sd card..set as ringer...profit
[Fascinate General] ZeroLozen:
Rebooted a few times but still 1/6th inch of lower screen is black. Only wiped cache when coming from build 26 to 27. Should I have wiped dalvik? Might that fix it and then reflash 27?
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
As a work-around for the Torch issue, download an app called Tiny Flashlight + LED from the market. Here's a link that I think will work: https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5kZXZ1bmkuZmxhc2hsaWdodCJd

It's top-notch. The strobe functionality and morse code stuff even works, which is a first on my Fascinate at least. I'll probably stick with this over the in-ROM torch app unless the latter starts working and knocks my socks off.
[Fascinate General] baron4406:
Got tired of CM a few months back and have been on SC ROM's and you gotta admit they do WORK lol. Some observations. Pretty stable, some FC's but MTD roms are always glitchy. With the new Glitch Kernel its pretty snappy. Really nice, polished ROM! One thing tho my signal is horrible and I can't *228 just like previous MTD roms. *22899 doesn't work either. You can't toggle the soft keyboard. Anyone else see this?
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
DUDE!!....awesome app...the LED works fine..thanks....odd though..I tried a dozen torch apps..even this one before...well I am happy..I like the option when i am at the lock screen, i can shake the phone and the torch turns on...nice

only thing this app doesn't do..is get the led to the super bright setting...like when the camera uses it as a flash..

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

So..is it the design of ICS to have the contact picture display on the answer screen when someone calls as a banner like strip..at the top of the screen..leaving most of the screen below black...

I really would like to have the contact picture display more like in CM7 on the answer screen.(so I can actually see the picture)...any setting or a mod or something for this...I have noticed that the option to change the lock-screen style don't do anything...and I have yet to see options to change the answer screen style...

Navigation Bar is still present, even after multiple reboots. Have unchecked the enable bar, rebooted, and nav bar is still there. I can shrink it to 24pt but that still leaves the 1/6th inch black at the bottom. Would you recommend wiping data and dalvik, then reflashing build 27?
[Fascinate General] Stephen.k.spear:
No enable bar, ROM control/power menu turn on nav bar. Go into power menu hit the nav bar power button.

[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
Yes..I wasn't sure where to post it..so I did to both...took some digging..found the link...installed..thanks..

Found the post about GB Boot-loader HERE

Unzip...and use that .tar in the PDA section of ODIN.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
Np
[Fascinate General] mezster:
Does the "phone bootloader update" box need to be checked? Only ask because we flash it in PDA and it says phone bootloader update so I'm a little confused. Never flashed a bootloader before so...
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
When I flashed the GB bootloaders I just put the .tar in PDA and flashed, I don't recall checking any boxes in odin. The way I knew it worked is because I use glitch kernel and there won't be a glitch splash screen (pre-boot animation) unless you're on the GB bootloaders.
[Fascinate General] neh4pres:
Don't touch any checkmarks. Open odin, select bootloaders in pda, click start
[Fascinate General] k_nivesout:
Um, yeah that's what I said. :confused:
[Fascinate General] ssewk2x:
With all that said, I don't think it hurts anything to have the bootloader update checked in Odin. I did mine that way and things have been going pretty well. At least I didn't see any differences at all between doing it that way and not checking the box.

I apologize if this has been asked/answered already but I could not find anything on google or here.

Anyone having this issue...I have my wifi on and connected to my home network....every-time I lock the screen, or it times out and locks automatically....It will not wake back up...I have to hold power and vol up to reset/reboot phone...

A couple days on this ROM and I'm actually pleasantly surprised. Had alot of experience with CM Roms and got tired of the numerous bugs. This ROM is by far the most stable CM rom ever. Coupled with the Glitch kernel and its very nice. Issues?

1. *228 still doesn't work, holdover from CM7 i guess

2. Volumes of the Notifications in kinda low, and media volume is real low. Volume + doesnt work (all it seems to be is a glorified volume control app). Far from a deal breaker tho. Call volume is fine tho THANK YOU

3. I got alot of FC's with Handcent, however all i do is shut the screen off then restart Handcent and it works.

4. Data and Wifi have an annoying habit of turning themselves off , particularly after coming out of Airplane mode.

5. Ok this one may ruffle some feathers, but the settings menu looks kinda....... IOSish. We should be distancing ourselves that not trying to copy it.

6. Had to edit my post to add this, my phone randomly restarts for no reason. Not sure why.

Really nitpicky things for sure it doesnt have all the glaring bugs CM7 did. ICS seems light years ahead of Froyo and Gingerbread.

aokp 27 w/ icy glitch running flawless...best setup i have ran on this device to date!
[Fascinate General] SmokeyDP:
I'm running build 26 with the stock kernel and so far it's great. The only noticeable bug is that the keyboard stops working in the messaging program causing you to close out then go back in. I'm going to go to 27 today and see how it works out.

I've also had the phone randomly reboot around twice a day while it's been just sitting on my desk idle.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
If you guys run icy glitch with aokp27, and live OC to 1320mhz (110% live OC), do you experience rebooting? When I'm at 1100 mhz, I don't get reboots, but when on 1320 mhz, and I'm in the camera audio using the camcorder, I get reboots.
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Honestly I find that my device likes No Live OC, running 1500mhz the best... No reboots, super stable, but yes I lose a little bit of battery life... still getting 30+ hrs with 3hrs screen on time, which is plenty. It feels the snappiest and scores the best on antutu & quadrant setup this way. Using Live OC, 110% @ 1200mhz is stable, but does not seem as smooth as 1500mhz w/ no Live OC...battery life is a little better tho.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
Are you using an extended battery? I get like 12 - 15 hours battery life with 2 hours on screen time. For some reason, I get reboots on 1200

Mhz 110% live OC, don't know why my phone fails (this seems to only happen in the camera app.)
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
using the 1800mah battery from epic 4g...it gained about 6-8hrs of extra battery life.
[Fascinate General] fulaman:
Oh nice, I assume you need a different battery cover though right? (noob question, I know).
[Fascinate General] droidstyle:
Nope fits right under the stock cover...set you back around 23.00
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
Standby Battery Life...Awesome

So...I am getting awesome standby battery life with this rom and the newest Glitch kernel...

Be warned..I have a monster of a battery...Seidio 3,000mAh....

It eats the battery when I actually using the phone...probably due to my OC settings...Live OC 105%..max step..13000mhz...so...105Mhz -- 1365Mhz

I am at 1 day 1 hour 45 min....only at 76%...that's after 2 hours of wifi tethering..and a few calls.... yesterday...

Much better battery life then when I was on CM7....

Keep up the good work guys!!...posting this in both the AOKP rom thread and Glitch kernel thread...because both deserve the praise!!

EDIT: On an other topic...I decided to try the EH03 modem/radio...speeds seem slightly less than EC09..but phone is reporting stronger signal...

Are there MMS issues? What other issues?

Many thanks!!
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
With the latest Glitch kernel...its better than CM7...in my opinion...

it is still in the earlier stages..not as customizable and tweak-able as CM7 ..just yet...But definitely a daily driver..at least for me..

There are some known issues....lock screen wallpaper doesn't work yet... some report some issues with wifi....I haven't had any major problems..actually incredibly stable...SMS works fine..MMS should work..I don't use it..so can't comment on it..

In general..most people find EC09 better..as they tend to get better speeds out of it...but mileage varies when it comes to radios...EH03...on my phone..in my service area...results in a stronger signal(reported anyway)...but less speed...

Superclean...isn't that a Touchwiz based rom....?...

You loose some stability/reliability going to MTD based roms from touchwiz....because touchwiz is designed specifically for the phone....going to other roms based on something else..it is a given that things may not be as smooth or reliable an experience..expect some bugs and hiccups...If you absolutely NEED your phone to work and function properly everytime use it..stick with touchwiz roms....if u want bleading edge and bragging rights with running the new stuff..then flash away....just do your homework and read thoroughly...
[Fascinate General] AtropineNa:
thanks for the info

yeah its a TW based rom and I have no idea what i'm getting into... how would i go about flashing? is there voodoo (or that doesnt work for these roms?)
[Fascinate General] speedingcheetah:
No..there isn't a voodoo lag-fix...not needed....as these roms use ext4 as thier default filesystem, not the rfs that Samsung uses in touchwiz..there is voodoo sound support in the kernel...

Coming from touchwiz..it is a bit tricky....This rom must be flashed from the correct Recovery...meaning, u will need to ODIN the proper recvery, then flash the THS Buid 2, then this rom(and the glitch kernel and g-apps, if u want).

i recall some instructions being posted somewhere...but I need to do some digging around...unless some one else wants to post some...

EDIT:

Install:

Use CMW fixed for CM7 ODIN.TAR or CMW.ZIP

Flash the above mentioned recovery...

Boot into recovery

wipe Data

Flash THS Build 2

reboot recovery

wipe data in CWM

install AOKP rom

install gapps

instal glitch kernel(optional)

reboot

Download THS build 2 and the AOKP rom and the CWM zip..put on sd card...you should be fine flashing the recovery zip in your current recovery...then selecting the option to reboot to recovery..u should then be in the new recovery u just flashed...then continue with the steps..

I believe this will work fine....be warned...I flashed ICS form CM7...so have a full ODIN file available in-case something messes up and u need to revert to stock or what ever and start again...FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
