Go to the BBS thread and use the tool to check it out.

I do remember having a similar problem when initially installing XWLPF with replaced CSC, but after a couple of changes it went back to 0.5% / hour during the night (I use BatteryDrain to monitor that). Unfortunately I don't remember what I did, but I think one of the things was signing out of Google Talk or something similar to that.

Nova Launcher should do the trick
[Galaxy S II General] Tutsumi:
So I updated my phone to ICS (LPQ) last night/today, but today before I left my house my phone beeped at me. This caused me to take a look and see that something "Panel" was requesting my device configuration.

It then set my APN for my internet (a little off, but most of the the settings were right) and the APN for MMS which was spot on.

I've tried to find this app/setting almost all of today both on my phone and online but to no avail. Does anyone have a clue?
[Galaxy S II General] robertberma:
You can start by using nova launcher ore apex launcher and wait for devs to make a theme for odexed stock.

Yes it is official but not necessarily for all the phones it is being flashed onto. Also the way it is flashed in most cases is not the official (Kies) way. It would be interesting to see the ratio of bugs to each way of flashing. Oh and there are a lot of people who do not really understand what they are doing.

Go into the developer options and Untick "Force GPU rendering" change your homescreen or lock screen then you can enable it again after you changed homescreen or lock screen
[Galaxy S II General] robertberma:
Well thanks for this. I think i will first root my s2 gb with chainfire and unzip the ics tar . Make a firmware folder on external sd and put the extracte files in the folder. Replace the zimage with root zimage from chainfire. And flash it with cwm app. This i have not seen yet here. Maby that is the save way to do it. I hate odin and the yellow triangle.

[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
All versions af GB and ICS have the option to adjust brightness by swiping across statusbar ...
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Hold the finger at the status bar for a moment, without swiping down. Then move left or right to adjust the brightness (if auto-brightness is OFF).
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Same experience ... in my case it was a Danish Local Weather program and Swype running bananas.

Uninstalled both and installed Swype Beta. Great battery time since then on all recent firmwares. Getting > 24 hour of moderate usages, 0.5 /hour standby, 3½ hour screen on. Always charging over night and often have between 15-30% battery left when I plug it in.

Whatsapp is a great battery eater (in the list of battery drains don't appear) but if you unistall your battery improves a lot.

Other battery eater is noled and certain widgets (beautiful widgets by example)

[Galaxy S II General] j2002:
Of course, this is only a suspicion you have, isn't it? I only agree with noled
[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Thanks, I got it and ran it after an hour to see what processes hog the battery. Strangely, I don't see anything that I can make sense of. All I see is a bunch of kworker/0:* (with the * being a varying number). No clue as to what that is.

I uninstalled apps like Google Talk, as I don't use it. WhatsApp I re-installed, to see if that would help. Other than that, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Battery drains like crazy.

Noled can be configured for blink (1 second each 10) and you have very low battery drain.

The worst battery perfomance is when you don't have a stable data/phone connection and continue searching for signal.

If you are without good signal and you are not using, disable data

[Galaxy S II General] Donaghy:
Appreciate the offer, man! Thanks!

However, I just completed another charge cycle, and as of right now, Android OS is no longer at 90+% battery use. It's 'Screen' for 67%, and OS for 5%. That's more along the lines of what I expected. If it goes off the rails again, I might post the log anyway, but for now, it seems resolved. Thanks anyway!

There is a known Bug in ICS which has been solved in Cyanogen and maybe in future ICS Releases:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=31246

It seems that it was already fixed in some GB roms, and reappeared with ICS. This is the main battery drain culprint in some cases (mail sync with Hotmail or EAS).
[Galaxy S II General] AntonyL:
I have just updated to lpw and have discovered that the display brightness slider in the notification bar no longer works.

Can anyone else confirm and is there any known fix, eg an apk.

Are we talking about STOCK FIRMWARE or what?
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
Yes. It's happened to me from old GB ROMs onwards. This is the single biggest battery killer. The phone basically never sleeps and runs continuously with the display off till the battery dies in hours.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Display brightness slider have been part of Samsung TW/Android since GB and all have been implemented in ICS as well ...

Removing this feature in LPW must have been some kind of mistake or bug :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] NeoPlex:
perhaps they forgot to add in to the new build of FW. If you want to use this feature, you have to flash older FW like LPF etc. LPF is newer than the LPW, but it is built on older touchwiz than LPW.
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
I've never seen this in any stock firmware ever. Does it work only in the TouchWiz launcher or something? I've never used TouchWiz at all.

The changes in LPW are NOT part of TouchWiz. They are in the Settings app, SystemUI and some other places.

The latest ROMs for the Galaxy Note & SGS2 I9100G are both based on LPW.
[Galaxy S II General] NeoPlex:
I know, but it is easier to say it is TouchWiz than describe all changes.
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
It seems to be very unlikely that Samsung will fix this in their ICS stock ROMs, since even the Google devs fear it will be implemented only in the next big Version step (aka. 5.xx).

What annoys me most, is that it was fixed already in the latest GB releases and reintroduced with ICS. Nearly everybody in my company with ICS Android phones is affected by the problem, even if the sync is set to "1 hour" instead of "push".

The FruitPhone had the same or a similar problem a few months ago, but they where able to fix it and 'till then it never came back.

Once it starts, you can literaly look at the battery percentage going down.

If you are affected, "BetterBatteryStats" shows "MAIL_SERVICE (com.android.exchange.xxx)" constantly counting up time and wakelocks.

For now, this fix is included in the latest Cyanogen builds, and seems to work flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
It's stuff like this that makes me believe that the only reason Android lags is because it's a piece of ****; pure and simple. There is no way a phone with zero bloatware on a 1.5GHz Quad Core CPU and GPU can lag on the homescreen.

It's horrendous low quality code, just like Symbian S60.

How to replicate the Exchange problem

I've looked at the Attachment Watchdog issue and I can create a fix for it to be easily applied using the Xposed tool. But for that I need to be able to replicate the problem. Does anyone have any hints on how to do it? I tried turning off data while downloading an attachment, tried stopping services as well, but didn't manage to make it happen.

On a related note, I have another situation that happened to me a couple of times when I was using XWLP9. At some point, the Exchange connector would start running in push mode regardless of the settings, and consume lots of battery. Changing settings, rebooting, etc. did not solve it; the only way was to remove the account, recreate it and resync to continue with the same data.

I'm not sure whether it was also the attachments watchdog or something similar in another part of the connector.

Unfortunately, after I updated to XWLPF this situation hasn't yet appeared, and I wish it would so I could fix the code.

I've confirmed that the code mentioned in the posted link is still buggy on XWLPF, so either I've been (un)lucky on not triggering it yet, or what I experienced before was something else and it might have been fixed in the meantime on Sammy's later ROMs (doubt it).

It anyone can throw a tip on how to make the problem appear, I'd appreciate it and I'm confident I'd be able to code a fix and make it available for everyone.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
For me, simply adding an Exchange Server account and setting it to push mode with 30 days of messages instantly causes the problem. Note that I added a REAL Exchange Server account, not just EAS against Hotmail. On adding the account it requests security permissions to provision the device against Exchange Server.
[Galaxy S II General] victorator:
Sliding the status bar to adjust brightness has always been a feature of touchwiz.

For all the new people - read this.

Oh and btw almost forgot - LPW is a piece of cr@p rom. Flash LPD or LPF.
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
Yes, I'm on an actual Exchange as well.

What do you mean by "instantly causes the problem"? Is it that changing it back to e.g. poll every 1h doesn't cancel push? Must I do anything (like break network connection) while it's doing the initial sync?

In my case I never got a problem in the initial sync - and it took a while both to start and then to fetch all items in the timeframe - but rather in "cruise mode", polling each 1h, when suddenly it started push mode. Sending an email to myself on the desktop generates 2 or 3s delayed arrival on the phone, despite poll mode.

The problem is making this happen again :(
[Galaxy S II General] LocutusEstBorg:
The moment the account is added the phone will never sleep. I only use push mode since that's the whole point of Exchange. I never did anything to trigger it.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------

LOL... Right now the new ROMs being pushed for all devices (SGS2 I9100, I9100G and Galaxy Note) are based on XXLPW.
[Galaxy S II General] silverstorm:
Symbian may not be pretty but it is one of the most resource-efficient and has the leanest code found in a mobile OS.
[Galaxy S II General] someonet1k:
I may say something silly here, but I don't think the sliding status bar for brightness adjusting is tied to TW as I'm on Apex Launcher (the free one) and it's working just as great, even when TW is force closed.

What ROM are you using?
[Galaxy S II General] Honzze:
In my case, the problem normally does not appear immediately. After adding an Exchange account, the first sync takes some time. During this, the phone gets warm and consumes a lot of battery. But I think this is normal. After some days (or sometimes even hours) the problem starts.

It completely doesn't matter if the phone is set to push or to, let's say, one hour sync. As soon as it appears, the settings don't matter - I've always got push afterwards, even if the setting says another thing.

Some tell you, that push consumes more battery than setting to 10 - 15 minutes sync. In my case it's wrong. Push gives me great batter life, as long as it works. Setting it to one hour or more did not help in any case. Even restarting the phone didn't help most of the time.

I've done this every week now to get a few hours of peace. But then it reappears. It does reappear also after a full wipe without restoring ANYTHING, some time after the exchange accounts have reconfigured again.

And deleting and readding the EAS is always messing up my quicklinks to certain contacts. The picture an descriptions remain, but the underlying contact is another one. This has already caused some very serious trouble for me (I wrote "I love you" to another girl in my contacts because I didn't notice the quicklinks where messed up... :eek: )

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

It would be grrrreat if you could do that! :)

I've nearly given up on this, since I've got to admin more SBS and sadly told everybody to get an Android device instead of a fruitphone, because of the nearly unlimited possibilities to customize the devices.

Starting with the ICS-roll-out I did not have a single day without coworkers, friends or customers complaining about this problem!

[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
When I enable push, my idle battery consumption goes from 0.5%/h to 2.3% (no WiFi), and that's not directly visible in BBS as being due to Exchange. It originates significant increase in "multipdp" and "secril_df-interface", I'm guessing due to the overhead of maintaining another permanent connection (even if mostly idle) to my exchange server, in addition to the one it previously had with Google C2DM.

From your report, though, it appears that even after this "normal behavior", at some point things get even nastier. That's the part I'm not replicating, since during this time the logcat is pretty calm, unlike what happened with my previous experiences when the logcat displayed constant Exchange actions such as reapplying EAS policies, etc.

Could you take a device that is experiencing this symptoms, send the output of "dumpstate" to a file and send me a link to it through PM? I'm guessing there might be some personal info there, so please take a look at it before. Also the output of the "logcat -v long".

Additionally, a BBS log file for a couple of hours when "idle" in this state would also be useful to see if it has the same problems on the radio part, or something else in userland.

i only use one home screen on touchwiz, but when you only have one you are still able to scroll the screen sideways a bit (tilting). this was also the case in earlier versions of gb, but was solved later on.

[Galaxy S II General] NeoPlex:
yes u right.... I was confused by your topic with latest stock FW with external link to TW UX
[Galaxy S II General] Tungstwenty:
I don't think that would help.

What I need is to have a look at the thread stacks and the registered alarms, which dumpstate provides, plus the recent activity history, from logcat.

That debug you mention is for the communication protocol, not the eventual excess load on the client device.

If you look this reported issue, you can find on comment 8 the activity log helping the investigation and in comment 29 the link for the code changes to fix that particular issue.

I need to know whether it's the same problem (and if so, ideally how could I make it happen on my device) or if it's another one, since apparently there are a number of different problems with EAS. The constant refresh of admin policies is a symptom I have experienced in the past but hasn't come back yet.
