lol ok you got me there... but it kills me because now xda is upgrading the development program and really putting the brakes on bounty threads. I think it a great idea but it sucks because now they retain even more control. Read this if you havent --> http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-recognized-developer-program-expansion/ And read the "Elite Developer" status. I really do support this and i think its a positive addition to xda. Just hope the community has a say in what gets dispensed and where...

I am really a fan of AOSP and open-source. But i love my T989 and I have no intentions of getting rid of it any time soon. As someone who appreciates ongoing development, its stinks the quality that the T989 posses. This all ties back into my decision for cutting ties. I want everyone to see and realize that the level/quality of development is in a really sad state of affairs with the current "developers" that remain on this device. People need to learn to appreciate the people that put hours and hours into hacking code to make this device all that much better. I am in no ways an "Elite Developer" nor I am an excellent programmer/code hacker. I am just an average joe with a little knowledge of the linux OS which android was forked from. As silly as this sounds, I rather lurk the boards then have to deal with children everyday. Like i said before... I have a few small updates to my kernel and rom that just clean up some loose ends, they're not major but i might release them sometime soon and reopen the threads... have to see how i goes... might move to another site??? i am undecided at this moment??

This although isn't official, it's GREAT news... It'll be very much appreciated!!!!!! Still rocking 2.5.1, running like a beast. I have no intentions on flashing any of the new releases, I've been trying to save myself a headache but I've been doing my homework reading about them and I won't lie about that.

Looking forward to seeing your threads re opened my dude! And thanks again for everything you've done for the community here.

I'm going to send this to you via PM also. I just want to apologize for this thread and the whole debacle it has led to. I respect your work and I also respect your wishes as a dev.

I didn't see the section in the OP stating not to mirror. Also I asked for a PM of the zip, not a public link.

Honestly if I could I would close and delete this thread just because of the nonsense its started.

I'm saddend to see you go but judging from all the comments I've seen here and in your OP, I can't say that I don't see why.

Once again @tdj I aplogize for this thread and meant no disrespect.

Sent from my Darkside.Warfare T989.

I also like that it gets decided by devs because as you can see here is that users are appreciated by how much they output which means that devs doing the challenging things which take time will not be appreciated as much. The way it is now the best way to become a known and loved dev is to repackage other people kernels and rom bases and retheme them again and again to create a high output or just make dumps of the system and its components. If you did this people would love you. Hell, I imagine you could even tell off the devs of the kernel you repackage and nobody would notice or care.

didnt see anything in the xda article about the site here outlawing bounty threads. the article basically explains what you need to do to obtain a custom user title.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thederekjay:
It had nothing to do with the article saying anything about bounty threads. It had to do with the article saying xda is going to start handing out devices for development to "elite devs".

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] deathknellx:
I'm running your ROM TDJ and gotta say that it's fast and smooth as buddah. I got sick and tired of these devs just releasing ICS roms left and right with the exact same thing wrong with each one of them. I can understand people wanting to get the latest and greatest on their phones, but like you I feel devs should have a little more sense. Releasing unfinished and barely tested ics roms just to be first to the punch is quite irresponsible. Yes I tried a few and read a lot about the others, I think of myself as a risk taker, but fully aware of the consequences.

I think there should be some kind of official rankings of what a test, alpha, beta, RC and such, and should be followed by the devs. In other words if it's a half-baked POS it shouldn't see the light of day here on the dev forums.

In other forums they have the dev and his posse of testers that take all the risk. They fix glaring issues before they release to the public. I am not a dev, just think that it seems that something like inverted rotation issues could be fixed by a real dev. Hell Cotulla put Android on a Windows 6.5 phone and then Windows Phone 7 on the HD2. I guess we got spoiled over there in that forum.

Just my two cents...it won't bother me if no one cares. :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iLeopard:
Agreed. I so far I've tried so many of the ics threads out there but none of them have enough of their bugs fixed to make me stick with ics. Instead of these "devs" releasing half working ROMs to be the first they should instead come together as a group to bring out the best they can

After using the skyrocket ICS leak, and flashing back to a GB rom (Factory reset and superwiped) I can no longer find the free version of titanium backup in the marketplace. I have purchased the pro version, but I need the free one for it to work... I just flashed the blackened ICS, I have it stuck in landscape which I can work with, but I still cannot download Titanium backup. I tried going to the play store from my computer and downloading it to my phone, just crashed the store on my phone.

I just got a Galaxy Nexus and was previously on a Nexus S with stock ICS and I've noticed that on the GN the talk icon is round while on the S it was squared off and fit with the ICS design, in my opinion, much better.

What's going on there? Why the difference? I've had a look around but can't see anyone else mentioning it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The icon changed in 4.0.3.

4.0.4, too, is a squared off icon.

Has anyone else noticed that since we can see battery stats now with the .21 update wifi is eating most of the battery even more than the display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shinzz:
Yea, battery is draining quicker compared to last Firmware. You can turn off WIFI during idle stage.. however, yea.. it's annoying.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] riyatch:
yeah, i noticed this too. i even have wifi to shut off when sleeping and its still consuming 55% of the battery.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Aweloi:
Maybe they boosted up the wifi signal strength a lot to compensate for the infamous poor wifi signal with battery drainage as a consequence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slybarman:
That is what I posted in the other thread. Only thing I can think of that makes sense.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bruuce:
Same here. My wifi has used 79% of my battery since last charge.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Are you guys sure the stats are 100% accurate? I dont think that wifi actually sucks more juice than the display. Its the same on my Prime but its possible that the stats just arent that accurate. I have wifi set to disable when in sleep mode so i really dont think it makes sense that it takes up more than the display even in that setting.

Could be wrong though^^ My batterylife so far isnt really different than before the update - at least it doesnt feel different.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
my battery life is still the same, which is great. wifi being a battery drainer is nothing new. top 2 battery drainers isbthe display(how high you have it) and wifi. I have my wifi on 24/7. never cut it off and I still get great battery life. I tried that cutting wifi off during sleep setting but I hate it. it always takes the wifi connection a little will to come back connected once display OS activated again. so I just leave it on. another thing to check also is to cut your background sync times down. you don't need email be checked and sync every 5 mins. cut sync off on anything you know you don't use much. saw goes for app notifications also. I got tired of my Facebook going off all the time, so I cut it off. it'll just update when I open the app up. or doing a manual refresh.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nossac:
WiFi drain seems to be a lot higher since the update.

I got slightly over 5 hours of surfing and messing around undocked last night. WiFi used over 65% of the CPU.

Sure I was getting closer to 8 hours before.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bruuce:
I have noticed a huge difference. Last week my prime would only lose 2% battery over night. I updated and haven't changed any settings. Now it drops roughly 40% over night... I'm not happy to say the least. I'll try turning wifi off tonight and compare the 2 settings.

(By the way, I'm rooted and stock everything else)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ElCamino:
Glad I am not the only one. I just got my TP a week ago and updated to .21 and sure notice that battery life has been awful. Using it for web browsing, loses 10% in about 40 minutes. And turned off seems to drain the battery as well, more than before the update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bimbobo:
I do not have drain over night.

I charged it full, and after 9 hours in stand by, battery was 99%

BUT the BlueTooth draines the battery when the Prime is in use.

The settings suggest to turn it off, if you do not need it.

21WW seems fine for me about the battery usage otherwise.

Do not expect the usage they were talking about in the specs.. it's not true!

WiFi analyzer shows no difference in signal strenght, and my Prime has been RMAed at ASUS and had changed parts (WIFI/BT issue), it did not help either.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curtis818:
Hey everyone,

I tried searching on here but couldn't find anything similar. I thought I'd post here as its battery related.

For a start, my Prime is completely stock with the .21 firmware. Earlier today I noticed my Prime battery monitor hadn't gone lower than 93% for AGES! When I went into Settings - Battery, it said 93% Unknown. I obviously guessed it was a lot lower than that as I had used it a fair bit most of the day. I was using it about 2 hours ago and it suddenly switched off. I guessed it had run flat so I put it on charge. I've just tried to switch it on and nothing!!! It's been charging for a good 2 hours or so.

Any ideas??? I've had it less than 2 weeks!!! :-(

Thanks in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] r0ck0:
cold boot. hold down the power button and the volume down button until you see the text on the screen, then choose boot without wiping your data.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] anthonyalberto:
Since last update I get more than 20% / hour of battery drain doing web browsing at 50% screen brightness ... it was way better from what I remember when I was on .11 and .15 ...

Tried cold booting, will see if that makes a difference ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] curtis818:
Well after charging all night it did switch on as normal again. But today the battery has stopped at 93% again. Going into Settings - Battery, its says 93% Unknown again. :-(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
Sounds like your batterystats.bin file is corrupt. If you are rooted then navigate to /data/system/ and delete batterystats.bin

Reboot and Android will create a new version of this file and hopefully it will display stats correctly.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] reddog:
I am running .21 in power save mode. I have noticed the following. Using OS Monitor I found that "System" process was using 65%+ CPU resource all the time. So I turned off/stopped as many things that I could no effect..accept..un-mounting my SD card.

Once I un-mounted my SD card the "system" process time dropped to less than 10%.

Since then my battery has only dropped 7 points in 14 hours..based on my "Battery indicator" app.

So why would my SD card eat up battery life by consuming CPU time???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TBacker:
Maybe try backing up the data from your SD and reformat it on the prime?

Sounds like it's constantly trying to read or write something and can't. If so, that could be a corrupt file/folder or permission issue on the card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
Since the update I only get about 6 hours now, my wifi does take up more battery than the screen for some weird reason and screen is only half brightness. It was fine before the update. I should have left it alone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] TBacker:
It would be interesting if anyone with the drain issue could check their /system/build.prop files for lines starting with wifi.

I can compare with my .15 build to see if they added / changed anything there that could be reversed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] matek09:
I see just

ro.wifi.channels=
ro.wifi.country=GB

Could you install iwconfig and tell us tx power value you have? In .21 it is set to 32 dBm. I think it could cause battery drain. You can find instructions how to install iwconfig here: (I cannot post links so just search in google: "Lowering Wi-Fi Transmit Power in Android". It is first result). I followed this instructions and it works on Transformer Prime. I've changed tx power to 11 dBm and now I'm doing some reaserch how it affects battery and wifi signal power.

Could you tell me please how I format my microsdcard or sdcard on the Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] omac_ranger:
It doesn't look like it's actually built into the system (usually it would be under settings>storage) I would just take it out, back up your stuff, and format it in the PC then put all of your stuff back on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
Still no advice on why the wifi is eating our batteries. 6 hours is BS was way longer before update.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jdudb:
It seems to me that as the transmitting power has not changed from .15 to .21 then the wifi battery consumption is unlikely to have changed. If that is the case, all this anxiety about increased drain is because we can now see how much it is really using, and as the proportion of wifi to screen is bigger than expected, it is assumed that the drain has increase when it has not.

My prime seems to last just as long as it did before and the warm patch that has been mentioned before on the top left is nothing to do with the wifi as it can still get warm when the wifi is off and the Prime has been doing some hard processing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I've been browsing for new in ear headphones for like an hour (found some that interest me btw, Logitech Ultimate Ears 600vi, then found out that they are only compatible with iDevices and got reminded how much i hate apple for their non compatible ****).

But back to topic, my Tablet dropped from ~98% to 65% in that one single hour! I had lots of pages open loaded lots of content on big pages with many pictures and stuff and watched some youtube reviews in between. Also i was listening to Jango radio while doing that. So wifi was used pretty heavily in that time. Tablet was in balanced mode btw. If I continued using it like this my battery would have been dead after 3-4 hours.

Thats definately a big difference in drain compared to .15. I'm posting this now because i wasnt sure that it was caused by wifi. But i'm pretty sure now. Even the stats show thatthe wifi used about the same amount of battery in that hour of browsing like the display on 15% brightness.

As a comparison : Yesterday i watched a 2hour movie with about the same brightness but wifi off. I lost about 10% in these 2 hours! Pretty big difference huh. Dont get me wrong, battery life is amazing on this Tablet but there is something wrong here. And i'm pretty sure its related to wifi and only here since .21.

I understand that ASUS is trying to boost the wifi reception or something but my wifi was fine before nor did it improve with .21. So i think its not worth it to lose that much battery life while using wifi for so little to no improvements...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drvsbsm:
I hope they fix this in the next firmware release. Something changed from .15 into .22 at least on my prime. Seems like a fix for some is a mess up for others, what could cause this different hardware? It don't make sense really. It fixed a lot of people's primes but screwed others up. I just wish they could find the common ground, hopefully next firmware or software release.

I'm only getting about 6 hours now. Wifi eats as much juice as screen on 20 to 30 percent brightness. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a good battery saver.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jupppo:
I noticed a higher battery drain as well as a better wifi reception after the .21 update.

I was on holiday last week when I applied the update. Before update I got 0-1 bars (the AP was in another house acros a garden), post update I got immediatly 2-3 bars repection and a much better throughput.

I also noticed that my surftime went down from 10h to 6h. Nothing else was changed. Now back at home the same behaviour, better wifi repetion (always full bars everwhere at home), but less battery life.

That is pretty annoying, because it is quite significantly less and I never had a real problem with wifi reception.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jguidera:
Am wondering if they tweaked the power output levels for the wifi chip in this release.. Would explain a small improvement you might experience in wifi but at the cost of decreased battery life

Background: Last night I loaded Odin, CWM, etc. to try out a new rom on my sgs4g. I ended up choosing cwm-Gingerbread-BSGS4g-2.3.5-KI3. The rom worked fine, but wasn't my cup of tea. For some reason, on boot up, I would get two rainbow screens, but it would load. I should have left well enough alone. I decided to change it, but could not get into recovery, it would just give me a rainbow screen. I downloaded CWM again from the marketplace, and tried to boot to recovery, still no luck. Then I did the absolute wrong thing, and used CWM to load a new rom (ICBNIB). Now I have a permanent rainbow of blue to teal fade. Any ideas? Should I pull the battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You need Gingerbread bootloaders. Follow the guide in the second link in my signature. You will need to make sure to flash twice - second time checking the flash bootloaders box.

When finished flash custom ROM of choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bellicose:
Thank the maker, it responded, now it shows what appears to be stock sgs4g but is not. I assume this is ICBNIB. Will the ginger bread boot loaders allow me to more easily transfer between roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Bootloaders are for the rainbow screen. You having the rainbow screen on GB means you have Froyo bootloaders.

Follow the guide.

It is not a good idea to just flash multiple ROM's on top of eacbother. You need to do the Heimdall One-Click or Gremlin Remover between flashing to minimize potential problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bellicose:
your walkthrough was amazing. That's how they should be. Thanks for the advice. I will be sure to do this.
