Hi how do you do that? Used to have an option to switch bln on/off with the plugin, but that was for bln control app. Mind sharing a little on how you perform the above? :) (think what I need is the script lol)

Dump your BetterBatteryStats log here and I'll take a look.

I do agree that battery drain while screen is on is much higher than usual in 3.2 RC 1 (or 2)and above I can't remember which.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Tye:P:
Sounds like your second ROM is gone even though it says it's still there in 'view current status'. There has been some incorrect reporting with the status feature I think.

You need to have .secondrom on your SD Card for the Second ROM to appear I think. Sounds like the option to remove the second ROM has done just that and it no longer exists although I'm unsure if this is exactly what it does. If that folder and it's contents aren't there it's probably safe to say that's true. You'll need to setup dual-boot again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] acizcool:
There's no format 2nd rom data/cache selection on dualboot screen. there's only remove 2nd rom. but i also deleted .secondrom folder from internal memory. the situation is the same. now i've cloned 1st to 2nd and then flashed wiui on 2nd boot and now 2nd boot works but after starting wiui it goes back to animation screen. i tried to wipe 2nd dalvic cache nothing's changed. no chance to wipe factory/reset for 2nd boot? or how can i wipe factory/reset deleting files from .secondrom folder?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] MyLifeRocks10:

Any chance we will ever see the 1.8Ghz and 2Ghz steps in your kernel? They used to run quite well for me back when I was using tegrak OC but that isnt compatible with your kernel so I can't use them anymore

Wi-Fi Direct is working just fine with SiyahKernel. I haven't tried it on 3.2.1, but on 3.2 (not sure about exact version - it was few days ago) everything was ok. Off course, you need Sammy ROM, not AOKP/CM9/AOSP - these ROMs don't have working Wi-Fi Direct.

Btw., I have noticed that light (ambient) sensor is behaving strangely on 3.2.1 - it jumps on highest values all the time. For example, I'm playing game in low light conditions, inside the house, and all of a sudden, light is on highest level - like I am on a sunny street or something... And after few seconds it jumps back to normal (appropriate) level. It's happening all the time.

Anyone noticed weird sound bug ?

When I'm listening to music and get a call it turns off my music and plays my ringtone, well that's OK, but after a call it does not bring up my volume correct, when i try to Volume UP its at 100% but sound is at 10-20%, then i do Volume Down and then it updates. Sometimes i get the same problem when i hook up my headphones it does not play at 100% i need to Volume Down and then Volume UP again, and same for TV Out.

I'm on Resurrection Remix 1.8.1 with a SiyahKernel v3.2.1.

And ya, as i said before when i hook up a TV my WiFi just dies, well its still working but like 5% if my speed. I just cant watch any YouTube or streams from my FTP server at home. It's weird ...

PS: I Will post this in ROM's Thread and Kernel Thread because I'm not sure is this ROM or Kernel related ...

Can people stop posting battery life after 1 hour or so? I know everyone looks at their phone with a new rom and looks at battery life.. but use your phone for at least 2 days, then post your TOTAL battery life.

Nobody wants to see your phone at 99% for 8 hours then drops to 5% over the next 2.

Just stop posting them, they don't mean anything until a full discharge!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] confusedmuse:
I think you've quoted the wrong one. :o

Sometimes i have 15 min screen-on time till the gauge drops to 99%.

This would mean 25h screen-on time... :)

The gauge just represents the measured voltage and can never be accurate.

It's affected by voltage peaks, temperature etc.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pikachu01:
The battery gauge doesn't decrease linearly due to the measurement of the fuel gauge not being an exact science. He's right when dating that posting after just 1 drop is not only idiotic, it's down right misleading causing people to think that a more that 7 hour screen time is possible on a stock Samsung battery.

About nandroid backup

Hi

I have a question about recovery mode.

I'd like to know why the nandroid backup is not compressed, at now there is no compression at all (.tar instead .tgz or tar.gz), you can compress it about 40%. I think is better to have the backups compressed, and maybe write the compressed files spend less time that write them uncompressed, I'm not sure.

Any reason? compatibility? speed?

I think backward compatibility is not an excuse, I think detect compressed files by extension is easy or use another folder.

Edit:

About compatibility, if siyah implement compressed backups then only siyah or kernels with this feature can restore them, but you can always uncompress before restore or install siyah, reboot recovery,restore and install the kernel you want
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] matttye:
If it was meant to be a serious post I wouldn't have posted a ":cool:" smiley with it. I didn't say "Wow this is incredible battery life" .. I even posted afterwards that I had hardly touched my phone at that point.

Of course the battery wouldn't be that good when the phone is actually being used.

No need to be so serious about a little post. :eek:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
I tried them all out and there isn't a big difference. Only in performance. Smartassv2 is lagging like hell for me and it spends more time on higher frequencies according to CPU Spy. There's a thread on XDA which explains all governors, search it.

I'd choose ondemand. You can't get such a better battery life anyways. Just get a 2000mah battery.

Question at all the people who want their battery to run longer by changing governors and voltages and CPU clocks: Do you even ever get into the situation of running out of energy when you use your phone while you don't have a charger? I rarely get into that situation. When I'm going out I charge my phone up and the battery never gets depleted. Just wondering what you guys are doing with your phone that you try to achieve longer battery life.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Happy_Jack:
"Conservative is generally one of the worst governors for saving battery":

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1478418&highlight=deadline
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Happy_Jack:
That's odd. SmartassV2 doesn't lag at all for me and it spends most of its awake time at the lowest frequency (100MHz at the moment). I sometimes use Cool Tool to monitor it in real-time and it always drops straight back to 100MHz after doing any work. I found ondemand tended to max out quicker and then take longer to drop.

What i/o scheduler are you using? I have found that v(r) will cause seemingly random lags with whatever governor you use.

I would do except that I always carry at least one spare battery if I'm going to be away from a charger for many hours. My phone will last all day with average use but the kinds of things I use it for when I'm out can take a toll on the battery (e.g. 3G web browsing, Google navigation). Batteries and battery chargers are dirt cheap on eBay. :)

I think I see what you're getting at - the important thing is to get the right balance of battery life vs convenience and performance.

A few simple tweaks can make a huge difference to battery life (like 100% or more). For example I delete any rogue apps (e.g. Facebook), use screen auto brightness, don't have bluetooth on all the time, and don't have the CPU at 1600MHz with both cores while I'm browsing web pages ;). There's no point just wasting power unnecessarily.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] DinKapach:
i just installed this and when i open the app it says me "extweaks is not respondings. would you like to close it"

i tried to reinstall the app and its doesnt help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
My words. That's exactly what you should do before messing with governors and voltages, I/O shedulers and clocks.

I set resurection remix ICS as secondary rom and my battery lasts way longer when I browse the web using opera mobile on that rom which I also use on my stock rom but the battery doesn't last as long on it.

So you should first clean up your system or even get a clean rom before you mess with governors and such.

You mean 1200mhz right? 1600mhz will logically make your battery not last as long. You may load some websites faster and navigate smoother but is it really worth it? The energy consumption doesn't go up proportionally to the performance of the CPU.

I said I *don't* have the CPU at 1600MHz with both cores while I'm browsing web pages.

My phone has actually been under-clocked to 1000MHz max for the last few days as an experiment and I've not noticed any lack of performance.

Some people on here seem to think that reading e-mails and web browsing should be CPU intensive. Some presumably also use the performance governor all the time or set min cpu = max cpu so the governor can't govern, then wonder why they have no battery life. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frozenthunder:
It is. Have you ever browsed huge websites on your SGS which contain many flash videos on one page? That is indeed CPU intensive. Depends on the websites you browse.

And of course it's nonsense to set min CPU to max CPU. Honestly I see no reason why you would UC to 1ghz :confused: 200mhz less, how much battery do you actually save there? 2%? I mean you have to take in consideration that your processor is rarely at the max frequency. and CPU isn't the only thing that consumes power

I've only just realised as I haven't used it in a few days, but I just noticed that my compass doesn't seem to be working all the time.

In Google Maps there's just a blue dot to indicate where I am, and in a different mapping app there's an arrow but it doesn't turn when I do.

The compass is working now that I'm home, but wasn't working earlier when I was out walking. Does anyone else have problems with the compass and is this likely to be something to do with the ROM or the kernel?

Just wanted to say 3.2.1 best battery life since ICS. 2h 15 m screen on still have 61 percent juice. Wifi on all the time, web browsing,tapatalk, YouTube and music player on all the time!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sasho36:
So, the files that are controlling BLN are in sys/class/misc/notification (or /sys/devices/virtual/misc/notification - the 2 of them work). The last version of Tasker can execute shell scripts so is simple to control BLN.

To enable BLN (I enable it only on notification) :

Echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/notification/notification_enabled

To enable breathing:

Echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/notification/breathing

Etc...

To execute BLN :

Echo 1 > /sys/class/misc/notification/led (with a condition, variable %screen is off, to be sure that it won’t blink when the screen is on)

So in this way we can have, for example, breathing (echo 1 to breathing and 0 to blinking) for SMS, blinking (echo 0 to breathing and 1 to blinking) for missed call and steady (echo 0 to both) for mail. We can also have different breathing profiles by changing the "breathing_steps"

The proximity part is done by 2 profiles (one that set a "1" if covered to a variable %prox and the other a "0" if not covered) that are enabled only on notification. If %prox is “0”, BLN is executed.

For the timeout, I'm using “wait” and then “echo 0 > ...” to stop BLN and clear all the variables.

I’ve also created à “Stop BLN” profile that “echo 0” and clear all the variables when the screen is on.

I can upload the whole project but I have to clean it first (it's messy because I'm using Tasker for only 4 days), but I don't have time to do it before tomorrow...

Hope it helps

luzactive slow down

I haven't use lulzactive since CM7 but I did have used it at least 6 months and I can't remember I have had this issue :

-change my governor let say at 02:00pm

-used the phone "normaly" till 01:00am

-sleep : the phone and me :D

-starting to use it "normaly" from 08:00am to 03:00pm

-wake it up at 04:00pm

when I did wake it up at 4 it was working perfectly and maybe 2 minutes later it began to slow down like if it was clocked to 2 or 5MHz:eek:

pushing any button leads to a 15s delay...

I did restarted it and then all was working again.

any clue:confused:
