[Galaxy S II General] XDA mark:
Nice results. On most days I get only around 4-5 hours screen time, because Im usually out of the house and on 3G. That consumes more battery then on a wifi connection :P

When Im at home all day and am connected to wifi, I get even more screen time. It really depens on how you use your phone (btw, a screenshot of the battery usage screen would have been nice. You know with how much % each app consumed). Playing a few flash videos in Stock/Dolphin browser really consumes your battery... anyway. Browsing normallhy, whatsapp, facebook etc on a wifi connection all day and I can get around 5-7hours of screen time.

I have the 2000mAh battery though, so your results are insane! ;)

Edit: it just hit me that I know the reason for your crazy results. If Im correct you viewed a lot of documents and notes. This means the screen was on a lot of the time with you just reading (based on the 30min screen time out). Your processor probably stayed at 200MHz most of the time, because viewing those documents (and leaving it on a page for 15 min or something, not scrolling or anything) is a very "light" process. So that's where so much screen time came from :P Imagine if you had mostly black on the screen, 9h screen time xD

But to all the people going crazy that they want 7h20m of screen time as well: realise how he used the phne. If you do the same light tasks you will also get a lot more screen time.

Edit: not saying it's still not crazy lol...with a stock battery, damn
[Galaxy S II General] nelsonoski1972:
Sorry to say this but we want more solid proof in the form of that screenshot of battery graph and the settings u have applied.

:eek::eek::eek:

7.5 hrs and that too with Dolphin hd and opera browser and Adobe reader!!!!:p:p:p

OMG!!;);););)

[Galaxy S II General] dullahan263:
With stock battery and standard browsing i don't believe it's possible to achieve such screen time on a stock battery no matter how much you tweak. Maybe if i read white text on black screen and use screen filter to reduce brightness even more.
[Galaxy S II General] virus786:
Unfortunately I did not take a screen shot of the battery page and graph, I admit that was a stupid mistake of me. I will post my exact settings soon when I have time to go through each and every one of them, writing tomorrow so still studying. I was amazed at this result (hence the post) so I will try and remake these results and take a lot of screenshots.
[Galaxy S II General] beston94:
Not trying to hate or anything but he could have easily just put a black wallpaper for 7 hours and 20 mins and just simply leave it on and go away for a few hours and BAM! Great results without touching your phone at all!!

[Galaxy S II General] AppReviewBros:
That's very impressive!

I myself am happy with 4hours of screen on. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your setup.
[Galaxy S II General] Galactus:
Quite a few people have hit 7 hours screen on time using hyperdroid, someone else got 8 hours as well, mainly web browsing and watching videos so I hardly doubt he's lying despite the yells for graphs, even IF he is lying its not impossible
[Galaxy S II General] dullahan263:
yeah watching movie is possible because it's predominantly dark but web browsing cannot get past 5 hours with readable brightness.
[Galaxy S II General] TheQuarterMile:
Also post a screenshot of CPU Spy...
[Galaxy S II General] legionxx:
same here, on a good day only barely get past 4hrs. whats your tweaks like on setcpu? :)
[Galaxy S II General] RorixRebel:
damn mate awesome numbers, im already a user of CheckRom but didn't try with different kerneles so i shall download siyah and tweak couple things

cheers

Crazy screen time. Most I got on checkrom was 5 hrs with wifi off
[Galaxy S II General] override182:
Im getting approx 4hrs+- on SiyahICSb5 on Deodexed LPQ. Sounds decent and improved from before custom kernels was released and quite better compared to my battery life when using beta leaks of ICS

The GB based roms for me was almost similar. Maybe ICS roms drains a lil bit more, can say better than GB but its good enough already after tweaks and freezing unneeded apps
[Galaxy S II General] milan188:
Virus786 stated that his screen was on all the time. Therefore this is not a true reflection of a normal days usage. 4-5 hours of screen time is normal when your phone is going into deep sleep and coming out of it many times. This process consumes quite a bit of battery
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
After so many days from the OP and no follow up so others can test his claims i for one do not believe the figures .

[Galaxy S II General] iamnotkurtcobain:
I got 7 hours and 11 minutes screen on time and a few % left with one of your latest aokp roms... and some tweaks I did myself. Oh and 2000 mah battery.
[Galaxy S II General] Juzman:
Mind posting your ExTweaks & SetCPU settings?

I'm running same (CheckROM RevoHD v6 + Siyah 2.6.14), with ExTweaks and Voltage Control.
[Galaxy S II General] almaalma74:
try it on odexed rom, performance and battery life is much better... something is not OK with deoxed LPQ

odex LPQ + root (properly) + gapps 0320 + agps fix + BLN + Siyah 3.0v5b => 30 hrs (01:00-08:00 scheduled gps+wifi+3g data off)
[Galaxy S II General] alief.mux:
greatttt !!

Its great mate. could you share the detail for :

- I/O scheduler applied

- ExTweaks : since there are so damn many parameters, especialy for newbie like me

great thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] adirc:
In gb the best is xhexkrom v6+ speedmod
[Galaxy S II General] TroyHGV:
Siyah kenel

I don't understand why everybody is enthusiastic about the siyah kernel. My experience is that it is buggy on the most roms. I prefer speedmod or just cf-root. Maybe they are not very tweaked but also not so buggy.
[Galaxy S II General] zonehack:
wow thats insane battery life, i was wondering if it's worth it to UC and UV but this proves that it is
[Galaxy S II General] DC3:
nice rom :D
[Galaxy S II General] nomikSqash:
Amazing results dude!

However, there is app like wakeup etc. that keeps your screen switched off but counting the screen time just to ignore wakeup bug and wakeup instant. I am not saying that you use it, but from your screen it can be seen that you have not been using any other application, so by avidence it can be seen that YOU use some kind of software, and as we all know the most battery contribution goes to screen.
[Galaxy S II General] infra4800:
lol

Well !!!

the thread seemed to be a very interesting... so today I decided to check how much I can get out of my SG2

about my SG2

I9100T version

service provider - Optus

ROM - Stock KI8 - rooted, standard unsecure CF's kernel

modem - Telstra KF2

So, I charged my phone to 100% and then proceded

here is what I did

I downloaded KeepScreen from market (free version) and set it to keep the screen awake for browser ... though mind it that I have low brightness settings... see the image attached...

anyway.. and then I went one step ahead, and let the phone to download a 717mb file while with screen on.

so here are some screen caps

started test at 10:18am and let it download the file with screen on

and the file downloaded after about 1 hr and 14 minutes

battery performance till that time :

so, after that i let it sit idle with screen on... plus in between i checked facebook, but that would be max for 10 minutes...

so here it is after 6+ hrs...

I do not have any kernel... i think it will easily go for another few minutes... but my test involved downloading of 717mb file also ...

i really think is it worth going to custom roms ??
[Galaxy S II General] liquidvampz:
awesome results mate. gonna try this out when im back home! thanks for the share! :D
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmage1991:
i'm curious what is worse with the missed call bug.

I am talking about when people call, are phones don't even ring or show a missed call.

I have a new job that is a on call job and 3 times already within 5 days my phone didn't ring when i was called. and as anyone can expect that doesnt look good to the employer :(

I will be replacing my fascinate soon with a bionic but until friday i must try to make this work if anyone can point me in the direction for the rom that this bug doesnt affect as bad. thanks.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schu9120:
I too have a job that requires me to be on-call so I fully understand the importance of your question.

I had the missed call bugs a handful of times back before the ed05 over the air update was released but have not had a single problem, that I know of, since then. I am currently running AOKP M4 rom with glitch kernel and the eh03 radio.

So, what rom are you currently using?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkmage1991:
Sry for taking long for a reply been in the mountains with no signal working. But I'm on stock eh03 with root and kgb kernel.

I generally don't care for aosp on the fascinate due too data drop a lot but if it isn't as effected by the missed call bug ill use it.

Hello,

I recently noticed that the function where you drag left on a contact to message the contact is not working. If i drag right, it will call as it is suppose to, so it is just the messaging drag that isnt working. Now if I try it in the messaging screen, it will work fine. Anyone else experience this before? any suggestions?

Thanks,

this might be as simple as just pullin the battery out for about 10 seconds for a reset.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AproSamurai:
You can just run 'make clean', if I recall correctly. And it'll remove the epicmtd directory within /out section so that you can build again. No need to manually remove it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] gooch1025:
Thanks, I'll test and make sure that works.
[Epic 4G Android Development] chuckdez:
make clobber will wipe the out folder.

Also, ubuntu uses gcc 4.6 which causes problems if try any custom optimization. I personally use debian32 with gcc 4.4.

Another tip is you can add the gihub CyanogemMod vendor samsung epicmtd to your local_manifest.xml instead of pulling the vendor files from your own phone.

CM Dev Training and Recruitment

Hey folks,

We have an invite-only IRC channel on irc.irondust.net to act as an incubator to help train new developers to understand CM9 to eventually become productive CM developers.

Epic IRC Discussion Channels

General Public #epic channel on irc.irondust.net

Incubator Channel (invite only)

Epic CM Team Channel (invite only)

Requirements for Incubator Channel

We would prefer to invite people only after they have demonstrated enough Linux knowledge to setup the build environment and to successfully build CM9.

In order to fix bugs in the source code, you need to learn an intermediate level of Java and C programming languages and how to use git. We unfortunately cannot teach you how to use Linux or how to code. For those that have some coding skills this is a great opportunity to grow your skills by practicing on a fun project that benefits many other people.

The devs are very busy so there is a limited amount of energy we can devote to helping the incubator trainees. You must have patience and able to sit in IRC all day as answers to questions may happen only when developers have time to answer.

How to Apply

If you meet the above requirements send me a private message containing the following points. The Epic CM team will review your submissions and invite people who demonstrate moderate coding ability and some measure of being helpful to the community.

Links to stuff you have developed in the past.

Links demonstrating that you have been helpful to the community.

Register with NickServ, and include the identity of that nickname in your message so that we may invite you. You must figure out how to do this on your own.

Requirements for Epic CM Team Channel

The goal of the Epic CM team is to together fix the many bugs and improve the user experience of CM9 on our phone (see CM9 Status).

People may be invited to the Epic CM team channel after they have demonstrated their ability to improve CM, usually by fixing several bugs and having patches accepted through gerrit code review. For example, a source port to integrate the circle battery option into CM9 that is accepted by CM code review would be a welcome addition to CM upstream.

A certain level of maturity is expected from Epic CM team members.

Compliance with the GPL source disclosure is required of all members.

By helping other people in the Incubator channel and the forums, you demonstrate your abilities.

The reality of the situation is that the Epic CM tea is comprised of volunteers with their own busy lives. Please understand that a great deal of patience is necessary when dealing with other volunteers.

If you demonstrate to us and the greater CM community your ability to improve CM9 and the Epic user experience, you too may eventually join the Epic CM team. Epic CM is already the largest and best organized of all CM development teams. In the long-term, we hope to continue this centralized, collaborative development model with Sprint's next flagship slider phone.

[Epic 4G Android Development] wtogami:
Technically you only need to delete out/target to 100% ensure safe builds. Out/host almost never changes. This can shave a few minutes from the build.

You have to . build/envsetup.sh first don't forget the dot then space "."

Also....you don't install it; once you do the build command it makes brunch...so then you just type brunch epicmtd.... Then it'll create the the epicmtd folder at which point it'll start to build....that's when you close the terminal to stop the build (because there's nothing in there yet) then reopen the terminal and connect your phone to do the extract command etc.....

In the guide I explain that I am using Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit. If you're using a different distro such as 11.04, some of the packages may vary. Its best to follow my guide exactly since you're basically copying and pasting everything into the terminal.
