I think when mentioning battery life, we need to give a comparable number.

saying "bad" or "good" isnt measurable... i had over 12hrs with my battery and i thought it was "good" but other may think of that as bad.

If you use a battery monitor show a graph...show the standard android graph.

this is measurable for people to see what YOU consider "bad"

Note : i notice a few apps can suck your life from your battery, namely... Touch, and ... battery monitor! ;)

[Galaxy S II Android Development] xperator:
When the phone is on standby, it's normal and the battery drain very slow.

But the battery starts to drain super fast when I start working with phone. Even if I just go through setting or play with homescreen.

Is it the battery calibration again or some other problem ? But I have already did 2 full charge cycles. So I think it's not the calibration thing.

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
I don't want to trawl through 400+ pages here and even more in the CM9 thread so can someone please answer a couple of quick questions:-

1) Is the camera and video recording now as good (in terms of quality, not resolution) as Samsung's stock? I know it wasn't on CM7.

2) Is hardware codec decoding now working? I realise the stock Video player won't be available but can 1080p movies now play fine without stutter like in Samsung stock?

Cheers in advance.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] suicidus:
really? :(

i used iphone 3gs two years long before i got my sgs2. i think, the look is absolutely different.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sohebq:
Calibration will give you nothing practically. When the screen is on, battery has to be drained so its quite normal. However, if you still want to control it, then you have to do Underclocking and undervolting. Your battery life will improve but you might face lag.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mvh_01:
I've had that issue in previous ROMs too. Wiping system data when you do a full wipe seemed to fix it. Try using friendcaster first. It's free in the Play Store
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sohebq:
1. I did some video recording with the stock camera of this rom and also with ICS Camera+. Both works fine.

2. I have downloaded many songs in 1080p. All runs fine, no lag.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] xperator:
Yeah Ofc I know that When the screen is on it starts to drain as long as you use.

What I am saying is that It is not draining like before. It is draining very fast. This happened exactly after the 08/04 update.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gil80:
how do you get the reflection on home screen? that's nice :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
Flashed 10/04 over 08/04 with only cache/dalvik clean, all went ok, then Google Play didnt open so I reflashed G-apps and all is working now. My Apex Launcher was "reset", so I had to organise everything again :P Will make a backup of my setup in Apex Launcher.

I see people talking about battery life. Like somebody said, a certain battery life might be good for a person and bad for another. Best way to compare it imo is by posting:

Standby time

Screen on time (!)

Battery (stock 1650mAh or bigger, 2000mAh battery used by a lot of people)

Details (which apps you use mostly)

Connection (wifi, 3G, mix, no internet connection)

With these stats I can really compare battery life :)

The best battery life I got was months ago on Foxhound 3.0 with Siyah 2.6.7. 15+ hrs standby and 6+ hours screen on time (wifi only though). At the moment I try to reach an avarage of 12+h of standby and 4+ hours of screen on time. ICS is ok battery wise but not yet on GB level.

Edit: and remember it is known that it takes about 3 charge cycles after a ROM/kernel flash to get "the real" battery life again. In the beginning its always worse then you know it to be.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] trunks986:
Please help me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Beefheart:
Cheers. I realise the camera and video work, but there was a substantial difference in the quality of both and the video recording and camera on stock. I'm just wondering if that has changed.

You say songs, do you mean music videos? Has anyone tested a full length 1080p movie in terms of lag and forwarding and rewinding?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] maestropetr:
try this recovery- format cache and wipe dalvik cache. restart
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
i agree!

with this info ACTUAL information is provided not just "battery is bad"

so here goes -

Battery - Stock Battery

Undervolt/OC [100Mhz - 1600Mhz] - 800mV - 825mV - 900 mV - 975mV - 1050mV - 1200mV - 1225mV - 1300mV

Kernel - Siyah 3.0.1

Apps - Whatsapp, Facebook, Tapatalk/XDA Premium, Instagram (4photos), Tasker running

Connection - 3g

See screenshot for wifi on/gps on

settings> storage> Unmound SD card, then you try to install applications from the market or the other back.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] XDA mark:
No screen on time? :P thats really the most important imo. Settings -> battery -> press on screen.

Also, 100-1600MHz CPU frequency's?! Haha I would never go higher then 1200MHz. Its smooth like buttur and no need to overclock so much. Also I really recommend 200MHz lowest instead of 100MHz, doesnt really save any more battery and makes a bigger difference performance/smoothness wise. For me it will always be 200-1000/1200MHz :D

My current stats, though just flashed and these are bad results:

Screen time 2h32m, all time wifi, 37% left. I'll post my serious results after a few charging cycles :rolleyes: Though with a new Hydrogen ROM coming out every 2 days it will be hard to start getting good battery life. Everytime after a ROM flash your battery starts sucking xD

[Galaxy S II Android Development] ZonyX:
Ill try my stats without the OC and see what i get today/tomorrow. The reason i dont have screen time, is cos i took this shot yesterday and didnt take not of it! *rookie mistake*

With the flash of a new rom, as your said i will have to leave it for a while before i get some decent stats.

And it was more of an "example post" so we can give ACTUAL tips rather than guess...

so tips which ill now employ - no OC - 200-1200. and remember to take down screen time :) -- oo scaling governor Lulzactive

Well, every phone works in a different way and this is really surprising. I am happy with both video and camera work. Try ICS Camera+. Its worth using :)

When I said 1080p, Of course I mean video songs. I download mostly from youtube and average song is above 150MB. Works fine,.

But what was the resolution of the photo you were cropping? And was the cropping tool blue or orange? Im not sure we're talking about the same thing or if my first post was clear.

In fact I manage to get some 4 hours of display time (with 2000mAh battery) with data/wifi + sync on all day and off at night- So 3,5 hours should also be managable with standard.

Only real drainers I see is (of course) media scanner right after flash and the alarm (when set). When I set it I lost 20% overnight. So I always immediatly remove the included clock and use alarm droid instead.

Check better battery stats what keeps your phone awake

Yes, I forgot about Govener. I'm using Ondemand. Lulzactive was very laggy on NEAK 2.0x which I tried. Simone said the Lulzactive govener was still experimental. Though I haven't troed it since, might be better now :)

Hi, thank you for great ROM.

I use lates version with russian language.

There are some small bugs:

1. Android keyboard suggestions don't work. I fixed it with these apk files

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/24986302/android_keyboard_with_suggestions.zip

I used root explorer to replace keyboard in system/apps

2. Dialler doesn't show russian letters and T9 doesn't work for russian names. I know T9 doesn't work on latest CM9 nightlies, but there is fix on russian forums.

So - it's possible to fix =)

3. I cannot add more then two shorcuts to lock screen - only "custom app 2" option works. Second shortcut is always "unlock" no mater what I choose for "custom app 1". Can it be a dpi issue? I use 160 dpi now.

should look like this:

but im more interested in the changes it brings along like 2-column settings, 3d youtube, new email client, etc. the screen could theoretically handle it.

I don't see why everyone is having such issues with battery life.

I'm soon at 2 hours of screen time with 72% battery left, this is with constant wifi on, 3g, sync, etc. Without any changes to UV/UC etc.

The release is so new, so hard to draw any conclusions yet.

For me, it works, probably a lot depending on what player you use though.

And, there is no real use of actually playing 1080p movies on a phone ;)

Hi all!

I would like to use the Samsung stock music player as I like the option to display music by 'Folder' (as it is on my storage) as a lot of my music has very random tags...

So I found it but I can't install it as it says its overwriting a system app.

I know about permissions and stuff and I moved the apk to system/apps and tried to install it from there but no luck

(Application not installed)

I'd also moved the music app out of the system folder in case of conflict but I didn't make a difference.

All I want is the ability to view b Folder.

Thanks for any replies.

EMMC (External SD) Dismay

Hey guys.

I'm having a slight issue regarding USB to PC connection. Is this still MTP?

Basically, I used to plug my phone into my pc via USB and access both my internal and external memory. Both storage devices also used to come up automatically after connecting my phone to my pc.

Now, only the internal storage is showing up (the external isn't showing upon connecting) and it doesn't come up automatically. I actually have to enable usb storage for the (one) device to show up on my pc.

I need to access my external SD, so this is a problem. :(

Maybe I've overlooked something? Although I did check all options in settings, with no such luck.

The rom is beautiful,fast ecc...(nothing new ;) )

Regarding battery life:

The best release so far was the 02-04-12 (netchip 1.1).With this build i have noticed the best battery life ,two days with normal usage...very low consumption with data.screen-on or wifi :eek:

with 08-04 and 10-04 releases (netchip 1.2) i have noticed a worst duration and i have no idea about this change...
