[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] edshawn911:
hey guys, i am looking for a kernel that will save me on battery. i am running zombie 4 rom. it says it runs the dark x kernel. i don't need to be running at super speeds but i don't want screen freezes either. i just want to be able to play my satellite radio without the phone draining 3 percent every 5 min or so. any help would be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InTheFlesh?:
I would be interested in this as well. Currently I am Rooted and have tried a few ROM's but haven't found one yet that doesn't have some bug or another. {Granted, I haven't tried them all} Tried one ROM that really distorted my custom made Wallpapers, which is a big deal to me. So... yes, any info on a better battery life Kernel would be welcome.

Currently I am not a "heavy user" on the phone. Talk - Text - You Tube occasionally... that's it. Constantly looking for better ways to improve this already amazing phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Eugenes kernel has given me great battery life. Either get down with Eugene's Macnut ROM which already has it or search for it under the general section under the bounty thread for Eugene. Its in page....58?

Keep in mind that the "beta" kernel does not have bln support but works just fine so long as you use the lionheart governor.

If you can't find the bounty thread then I'm sorry for you.

Synergy kernel has been awesome on battery for many.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bongostl:
I second just using macnut rom. I've tried em all, and his always gets the best battery life (for me).

I also undervolt via system tuner pro so that I'm at 1137 at 1.51

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
How you use your phone determines the best way to get the best battery life. Basically there are two ways to save battery: cutting power when not in use and delivering less power to the processors.

If you use your phone intermittently throughout the day for texts or calls, you'll get the best battery results from kernels/ROMs/apps that cut unnecessary functions when you're not using the phone. For example, juice defender cuts your wifi and mobile data when your screen is off and reactivates it every 15min (can be configured otherwise) to check for notifications. Darkside's Digital Warfare utilizes something called "deep sleep" which actually completely turns off your processors when the screen is off, but keeps the basic cell radio on so if you receive a text/phone call it will wake up the processor. These functions have the largest and safest impact on battery life.

If you're constantly using your phone and you want better battery life, you basically only have one option: undervolting. This is essentially supplying less power to your processors, which can be done through system tuner. It's not a free ticket, however; if you undervolt too low then at higher frequencies (playing games, etc.) your processor will become unstable and your phone will randomly reboot. If you encounter this, then don't undervolt that much and up the voltage to the last safe level. Just for reference, undervolting by 50mV is usually considered safe and undervolting past 100mV usually results in boot loops. But how far you can actually undervolt depends on your individual phone hardware, there's no universal answer. Make sure to not set your undervolt settings to set at boot until you find a stable voltage. Otherwise, you'll be forced to restore a nandroid if you encounter a bootloop.

TL;DR

If your phone already lasts a day and you want it to last 2-3 days, look into ROMs/kernels/apps that cut unnecessary functions when not in use. Most effective way to extend battery.

If your phone lasts 8 hours and you want it to last a day because you're a heavy user, look into undervolting with system tuner.

Well will be phone less a while. Dropped the phone today, a little over 3 feet. Landed face down and now looks like I hit it with a sledge hammer. So now I get to start saving to get it replaced under warranty. Ugh. Can't wait, the roms just starting coming out. Lol :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
Do you have insurance on it?

Does anyone have insurance on their phones?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maltrin:
yes. but its like 200 bucks to use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Yikes.

Can you post a pic?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Coffinfeeder:
Sounds like you need an otterbox case. It's posts like these that make me rethink my "no case or screen protector" philosophy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
With a phone this big is just a question of when you are going to drop it.

I have Best Buy's protection. It will cover shattered screens and the repair cost is always zero. (No deductible) I wouldn't get a phone like this without insurance.

Yea; I heard ATTs insurance deductible is $200. Thats rough..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maltrin:
here are some action shots. have half the cash for the deductible. woohoo!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
Sad.... It must have fell just at the right angle.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Envy Diz:
Ya but they don't cover lost or/and stolen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Underground_XI:
would cost u $250 just to buy the lcd display ...so the insurance is not that bad idea
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
So much for Gorilla Glass? I'm starting to rethink my "forget insurance, I'll never see it" policy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
What about SquareTrade? That's who I have used in the past and who I plan to go with for my Note. Basically the same coverage as Best Buy but you pay one price and no monthly fees. I believe they have a $50 deductible per claim but as far as I know, so does Best Buy. I could be wrong on this. Plus, isn't Best Buy's plan $15 per month? ($15 x 24 months = $360)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
i think i may go get best buys insurance tomorrrow.. i'm pretty sure its 9.99 a month, but I will double check. was looking at ATT insurance and its ... not as good. Ive never had insurance before but with this phone.... man.. I think i'll need it. I already dropped it once.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
I am checking out ensquared. Seems cheap and good coverage. Anyone have experience with them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
BB insurance is $15 for the iphone. Its $9.99/month (or $170 for one time up front payment) for the Note and other smartphones. It is $0 deductible for both. Its true BB protection doesn't cover loss or theft. But phones are dropped a lot more than they are stolen.

Squaretrade (IMHO) is the next best deal if you dont buy your phone from BB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Except you're forgetting to factor in probability. If it were truly a good deal for you, BB and att wouldn't offer it. I'm comfortable with my phone in a case and sp (for the first time but it is a big ass screen) , and I always have it on person. Loss/theft hasn't happened to me... well I've never lost a phone, and the one I dropped in a toilet... fixed well enough, and the one in puddle... was due an upgrade. Long story short, everything I would've paid towards insurance in the 10 yrs I've had smartphones would have bought me more than enough off-contract phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
That's good to know about BB's deductible being zero. That does help. What sold me on SquareTrade is that you pay right around $90 one time. You just need to wait until they have a 30% off deal (which is really often) otherwise it cost $125.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SPtheALIEN:
I've had SquareTrade for my iPhones and Honeycomb tablet. One thing--do they insure if the device is rooted?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
To be honest I have never checked. My last device had a really easy process for returning to stock and unrooting but of course if the device is dead then it does not matter how easy that process is. :) I would think that rooting a device will void any warranty if a person is caught.

I just found this thread on another forum that compares Ensquared with SquareTrade. I will be checking out Ensquared now. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Interesting relevant comment I found on that for squartrade vs ensquared:

Ensquared only covers accidental physical damage and lost/stolen...they don't fix technical things with the devices or cover that. Bricking your phone would be considered misuse as far as Ensquared goes. With Squaretrade there is a chance they would cover it as long as they can't tell that you were trying to root the phone which caused it to brick. Since they cover malfunctions there is a chance they will cover it. I don't know if there is a way to tell that you were screwing with it or not.

http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/411020-squaretrade-vs-ensquared.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
I just chatted with Ensquared about covering rooted phones. :) Here is their response:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JahCartel:
Ditto, never was a fan of paying extra for something ill never use until i had to drop 600 to replace my phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Thanks for that transcript:

"Our insurance covers physical damages, so as long as your phone is working fine, you are covered."

Nice to know. So from what I understand, if your phone just won't turn on, Ensquared won't cover it. You have to go to Samsung under warranty and they could deny if the flash counter is tripped. But if you drop it and crack the screen, Ensquared doesn't care if it is running CM9. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JonGarrett:
$200 is less than $650. pay the $200 and get a replacement. sell the broken one on ebay and get your $200 back. problem solved.

OR,

sell me your broken (screen) note for $200 and I'll put it on ebay or craigs list and get $300 or more for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SPtheALIEN:
Not getting the warm-fuzzies from Ensquared. I might go with Squaretrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
Not necessarily. I have had dozens of phones and have never dropped any of them. Possibly because I treat my phones like the $500 devices they actually are. I don't use cases or screen protectors and I rarely end up with any scratches.

I get that accidents happen, but I think some people are just more careful an diligent than others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MarkStinger:
Before owning my previous Android device I never had a case on my phones (BlackBerry's). I always used screen protectors though for added protection and they do work. Prior to the Note I had the Infuse and the Zagg screen protector did not do well in my pocket. Even though it should have. Since owning these slimmer devices I definitely use a case. I still have yet to drop any of them but I don't want to see what happens if I do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
How many of your previous phones are 5.3 inchers?

We should start a poll a year from now to see how many of the original Note owner have dropped their phones :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
I am thinking the same, but as someone else said, getting a weird vibe from them. Not much user testimony out there, and no one who has read this thread seems to have experience. Also it is still not clear what exactly they cover regarding warranty issues past the first year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bman17:
Yeah, I've been "using" or "paying" for the ATT insurance for my phones and $250 deductible is tought to swallow.

Ensquared I truly never heard of. Squaretrade yes. But I've been lazy since I had thr ATT isnurance.

Now I may need to think twice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] amcl:
Sat down and Note slid out of jacket pocket and fell 1ft to concrete floor. All is ok except for a minor dent on bottom right corner (including a scratched raised lip around screen.) Very glad I have Best Buy insurance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maltrin:
That's interesting. I think it was just habit and being told by guys at work I needed it. I'm on the phone waiting for the AT&T insurance people to answer. I won't be installing it on my new note. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Let us know how it goes. I am thinking about just getting the AT&T insurance and curious about your experience with them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
AT&T insurance does work well aside from the steep deductible. I've used it twice in 6 years. Last time was on my SR about 4 months ago and it does cover lost and stolen phones now.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
An otterbox would make this phone the size of a brick.

5.3 inch screens are a huge Target for the asphalt...i only have a case and after reading this, im going to be 10 times more careful. What are the chances of surviving any fall with a screen protector? Someone should make a case with an airbag, springs to repel or an automatic parachute :D

-On another NOTE, Samsung goes 5.3"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] greyhulk:
Well, I haven't even come close to dropping my Note yet either, if that helps. I have had mine since a week before they were available to buy through retail channels and I traveled quite a bit after I got it.

Ok so i had ICS passion installed then one day the rom gave me an error telling me encryption unsuccessful. So i followed the instructions to fix it, by putting the partition on the micro sd card (8gb). I then decided to flash back to stock gingerbread with odin. I thought that if I put a galaxy s international rom on the US vibrant it would work, but i was wrong so dont try that. I was stuck on a bootloop and was able to get to download mode. Then i used Odin to flash JFD for vibrant it said i passed but when i booted it did the same. Now im on KB5 and it gave me android system recovery <3e> but i have an error dev/block/mmcblk0p1.

I cannot go to menu, i can access download mode and android system recovery, i also tried to install update zip but it gave me the signature fail.

Please help me back to stock firmware or any stable version. Thank You

Good androids on Tue market? I'm getting a new phone. the atrix. Is pretty sick but there's a couple phones I like the quad core by yhe brand i forgot how to pronounce.

Haha one that has good developer support. Muiui and cyan dual boot would be nice. Its not my decision I have to get a new contract

*edit. LOL this is what happens when you have a faulty touchscreen and you make a post at 2 in the morning. sorry. my question is are there phones with the same specs or better then the atrix and have a good dev community.

I could barely understand what you are asking for, but I doubt Quad Cores will give you good battery life. The Atrix is already big enough with its dual core CPU and somewhat mediocre battery life. I would say go with the Atrix, thing is a beast once you flash a custom ROM onto it! :)

tegra 3 i heard it has an extra core (5 instead of 4) for idle processing so that instead of all the cores running at low speeds it has only one running to conserve battery or so nvidia said

haha im sorry guys. My phone has the touch screen glitch which makes one half not wok properly. And I know, the thread was named wrong LOL and also i think i made this at 2 in the morning.

Snappy speed, perfect sized screen, excellent battery life, good loudspeaker, lots of memory :)

Yes, 4+1 as they say. I believe its clocked are 500mhz for small tasks
[Atrix 4G General] CFoote:
I still think the Atrix is an awesome phone. I just purchased one over the Atrix 2.

How big of a freaking phone do you want in your jacket or pants pocket? I don't know about you, but I don't want a huge device in my pocket. I want a size that is large enough to get stuff done, but not be so huge where it sucks down the battery and becomes a pain to carry around.

I really think a 4.3" screen is the limit. I liked the smaller 4" screen on the Atrix better because it would obviously suck a little less battery down and its just the right size with a case on it.

HTC just announced the One X with a 4.7" screen?! I mean c'mon, WTF, if you want to carry that beast around thats great, but have fun.

The "bigger is better" theory with cell phone screens does not ring true for me.

yeah you need to install it to system/app...use root explorer app.

once you open the root explorer app, scroll down to sdcard and find the file tht u downloaded. long press and it'll let u copy it...once copied go back and click on system and then app... Remember u need to mount it as R/W (there's an icon on top). Paste it and long press and click on permissions. check all the boxes except any of the "special permissions". Hit okay and reboot.
