What device? What ROM? What kernel?

If you need help you need to be more specific. Just as an FYI, the players don't go into full charge/AC mode if they're connected to a PC USB port. i can easily drain the battery on my 5.0 faster than it can charge when it's plugged into my computer. If you use the included charger and cable it should charge the battery in a few hours.

Solved i dont know what was happening
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] C2Q:
Ok so yesterday and today my battery has been atrocious. 5 hours on IDLE and it went from 100 to 55%. What the hell? Under battery usage it says android OS ~23%, clock ~18% and android system ~22% as the top 3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ckck543:
Get the app betterbatterystats and see what was keeping your phone awake. It was most likely a deep sleep issue. I would also suggest cpu spy. Goodluck :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
as ckck says, this app will help you narrow down the problem as to which app it is. Its a paid app but a free dev version is available here on xda. CPUSpy as he also mentioned is an app to check whether or not your phone is going into deep sleep. If it's not, an app is definately keeping it awake, which is your problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] minderbinder106:
If you're running the ICS leak go to Settings->Sound and uncheck "Touch sounds" and "Screen lock sound". I did this and it tripled my battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WIZARDfan:
I use 2xbattery app with email push set to 30 minutes. It is a great battery saving. See proof.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
I preffer Juicy Defender Ultimate, it does things for you with out much settings, like email push it just pings and sync on it's own, major thing it turn data off, and I found data is one of the biggest battery users
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WIZARDfan:
2x battery does the same. I tried to post screenshot on my last post but Somehow xda app will only update jpeg and my leaked ics stores them as png.

THANK YOU S2 COMMUNITY. You guys are awesome. I'm moving on to s3 so everything happening in this thread will be run by your fellow s2 users! Thank you for the support. I hope to see some of you in the s3!

Hello! Welcome to my CRT-OFF for stock ICS Samsung Roms. I'm very new to this, but I want to provide for the community. I would like to thank deathst for providing the earlier CRT-Off animations. I was inspired to take on his work after he had moved on to the Galaxy Note (his thread). As I mentioned, I just started getting the hang of this, so

always

backup prior to trying out my stuff. I am willing to do CRT-Off for any future ICS ROMs, just provide me the framework-res.apk from the system/framework folder.

Instructions

1. Save crt-off-on file (Lxx_CRTOff_On or Lxx_CRTOff_Activated) onto your root directory.

2. Reboot phone into CWM.

3. Backup phone! (Very important!)

4. Install zip from sd-card and pick the file you just saved and select yes.

5. Reboot phone.

Removal

1. Save crt-off-off file (Lxx_CRTOff_Off or Lxx_CRTOff_Deactivated) onto your root directory.

2. Reboot into CWM.

3. Install zip from sd-card and pick the file you just saved and select yes.

4. Reboot phone.

Special thanks to: stars2, [] AL [], deathst

Do it Yourself Guide!

If you want to do it yourself, here's my attempt in a tutorial (link).

In any case that it failed, you can always go back to your backup and restore your settings.

Always open to any advice! Just give me feedback if the crt-effect didn't work and I will try to fix it. Thank you so much for using my CRT-Off!

Please just drop off a "thanks" if I helped! Note: LP7 attached below is for DX and now the new XW one. The one named XWLP7 is the new one.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
DXLP9 - Thanks samit.mahap!

Bugs

- randomly flashes after the CRT-Off animation (for some users)

Anyone know how to mod odex files?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lethas:
only lpq right?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
Yes, for now.

Unless other people provide me their framework-res.apk from other ICS Samsung Stock Roms. =)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lethas:
Good and stock thanks bro :-)

Btw how about lp2 lp3 ?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
I can do those too - as long as someone drops me the framework-res.apk. =p

Reason for this is, because I am on LPQ and it isn't practical for me to flash other ROMs just to pick up those files. Haha.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lethas:
Sad but true haha :-)

But good job bro :) some lp2 3 users please share ur fw !!! =p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kiz1983:
Please make it for lp7, if u may :-) file provided below :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
I will have it done in bit. Thanks for uploading!

Done!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kiz1983:
works perfect.. thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BJ van Beethoven:
Framework for LP3 attached.

Is this CRT on and off, or only off?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bakoyoko:
Work perfectly !!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
Thanks for the framework. I'll have LP3 set up after my essay. =p

And this is only for off. =)

Edit: Done. =) Enjoy!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mandana4321:
hi

work fine in deodex wanamlite lp3

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Krendelrus:
Hi krazykat! Can you please write a little how-to to mod framework for the crt effect?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sun-drop:
thanks for the LP3 crt mate, been trying to do my own and just getting splash screen hangs.

awesome!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kylobayd:
Im also on a LP3 rom, is it possible to get it both, CRT On and Off? ;o

Edit; I flashed the CRT off, and its not working im on a deodexed LP3 rom.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krazykat:
I'll try my best. I'll write up a post and pm you later I have wrote it. =)

Hm - is your ROM stock? I'm not sure if it has to do with being odexed and deodexed. The frameworks I worked with are from original odexed stock ROMs. I'll look into it later today. Sorry for the trouble!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kersey:
Would be grateful for one too please KrazyKat, as the normal method I use causes the screen to flash the background for a second after the crt off effect has happened :(
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sdemius:
Why on the end of effect picture appears again and then goes out? Phone I777 LP3
[Nook Touch General] mrWax:
Check out A4 magnifying glass for reading newspapers. Wonder how it would work with NST. NST + keyboard = Notebook / PC ? :) I am goin to try.

[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Well, that will make the display appear larger but it certainly won't increase resolution. I don't think it's exactly a notebook replacement. You can certainly find smaller magnifiers. I saw a paperback-sized model at B&N recently.

This does sounds a bit like the computers in the movie Brazil:
[Nook Touch General] mrWax:
800x600 is quite fine for A4. Remember old games? :) Problem is that one does not have mouse support yet
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
I recently got fc24 and I'm having issues with the social hub widget loading I'm wondering if anyone else is having the same issue also and if there is a fix
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Same issue here. And i don't think there's a fix. Social hub widget is new with ics so I'm assuming Samsung still has to work out some bugs with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
But it was working in fc7 all of a sudden its not
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
Then i don't know. It didn't work for me on fc22 and it's not working for me on fc24 neither.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] igerald904:
yeah also fc24 has bugs when youre getting calls my call log stays empty unless im calling out. theres others ive noticed but that one bugs me also while its ringing i get fc's but i hope soon its all fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RayTrue04:
I don't have that problem. All i did was switch the view to all calls and it shows all calls fine for me.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] x3kaien:
Is it safe to buy non samsunge battery??
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stormtroopercs:
Yeah I have 2 anker batteries and they work fine :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] mitsos89:
Yes as long as you follow the instructions provided with the batteries and use the appropriate charger. :) (this goes for all batteries) and you can read the reviews in the forum and in the sellers site.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] biplabbose:
Am also using Anker 1900 mAh battery for Galaxy S II. Its good!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] pHraiL^:
Adding to the question; Can you charge Anker batteries with the stock Samsung charger when you are using it or you have pull it out for charging? If yes, then same goes for USB charging from PC and any other suitable charger?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] 3waygeek:
The Anker batteries can be charged in the phone from a wall charger or USB -- it just takes a little longer to get a full charge.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokkir:
Mainly an issue I found using 4.0.4. When muting media volume completely, the phone still makes a shutter noise unless you put it on silent mode.

Is there anyway to just disable it altogether by editing system files or whatnot? Or an app or something that can do it? Or reassigning the sound to something less attention grabbing? I usually take picture of slides during class time and it would be annoying for my phone to keep making shutter noises every two seconds for the slides I need.

Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
If you have a headphone jack plugged into it, even if the wires are cut. I belive it silences everything. You can try that. Otherwise CyanogenMod roms have that option built into them. I'm sure plenty of other roms do too.

I'm running AOKP and if it's on silent there's no shutter noise.. I think :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nd4spdbh:
just delete the shutter and recording .ogg files.

located in /system/media/audio/ui
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokkir:
That worked. I just renamed it to whatevername.ext.old instead of renaming it.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
I changed my kernel on AOKP b29 but I want to go back to stock, any simple way to do that? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
reflash rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
I've tried that before and it resets a lot of things/programs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snowknight26:
It should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Yeah I just want the stock kernel, not to have the rom reset
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xl DIGITAL lx:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
Awesome, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Overkill. Kinda like using a jackhammer to punch a hole in a piece of paper.

The kernel is located in the boot image, so all he had to do was download the stock image from Google's site here, extract the boot image, and flash it.
[Desire General] Clawsman:
Guys.... I love multitasking and love memory available so ...

I was looking into ram manager app and suddenly came over this app named SWAPit.. It's supposed to expand ram by making a swap file. Any opinions? Or other suggestions?
[Desire General] 777ace:
Did you dowload it??

Maybe you could give opinions so we all can learn...and not download if it's ****e :D
[Desire General] erklat:
Since setcpu and juice defender fall into placebo apps category, me thinks this falls into the same category as solar charger. :D
[Desire General] impkt13:
how to use it
[Desire General] Spatnonkl:
I don't think this will improve performance. Usual Linux based OS use a swap partition. You can use one in Android too, but no devs recommends it. So i think devs don't recommend to use swap, because it doesn't improve performance.
[Desire General] llfbandit:
Yes, swap partition will "extend" the RAM but the truth is Android has its own mechanim to manage apps, so if you're low on RAM, instead of killing an old app you'll slow your system as it will use the swap partition (or file) which is much slower than RAM.

So, let Android do its job !
[Desire General] Clawsman:
I will give it a try and report back. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
shattered my focus s, no insurance, so i need to buy something. they are both about the same price. love my focus s.

should i switch to the titan for something different? or go with the focus s again?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BradGroux:
My only problem with the Samsung devices is the build quality. The devices themselves are awesome, but the plastic/flimsy build leaves a lot to be desired. The HTC devices on the other hand are generally built like tanks out of aluminum and rubber.

If you can hold off a week, grab yourself a Lumia 900 April 8th!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, currently the Focus S can be interop-unlocked and can run WP7 Root Tools, while the Titan can't. If you like having deep access to the phone, the Samsung gen2 is currently the better option. They're both pretty great, though. The Titan has the bigger display, of course, which makes typing easier (among other things). The Samsung phones use AMOLED displays though, which some people find much preferable.

Of course, there's also the Nokia phones, like the Lumia 800 and 900 (not sur eif the 900 is available yet). They look like fantastic devices. No unlocks beyond the official developer unlock yet, though.

One thing which might help make the decision for you is that HTC phones are built more durably than Samsung ones. The trade-off is weight, but I've dropped my HD7 over three feet onto pavement, and all it got is a dent in the metal rim. This rim also extends just a tiny bit higher than the screen, so the glass is still almost perfect even though I don't use a screen protector. The number of Samsung phones that I've seen with shattered or spiderwebbed screens, from an impact on one edge or corner, though...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svtfmook:
i want to preorder the 900, but, it's $480 with tax, vs the $320 for the samsung/htc
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravitynoise:
Titan or Focus S

I have the Focus S and now that Root Tools .9 is out I can finally do what I want. If I had to get a new phone though, I would def look into the Nokia
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FiyiKz:
Hi guys, well like the title says. My xperia S is deleting apps sometimes. Cant understand why. Can someone please give me a solution for this?

Well my phone is last days freezing sometimes, so i have to restart phone with power button + volume up button. And this auto delete issue is occuring last days too i dunno if it has to do something with an app or something.

When the file is deleted i see in the menu as title codes or some strange letters. And the icon becomes this standard icon of xperia s from systems.

I got an screenshot please take a look; there are 2 apps deleted, i also cant figure out wich apps they were, i only know my NOVA 2 game was deleted yesterday in the same way
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] denaz:
It happened to me too with apps moved on sd.

When you restart your phone they will pop up again. At least for me it worked.

When u restart your phone, try to wait a bit more time before to unlock it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FiyiKz:
Thanka bro. Solved!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
All the sudden, my display keeps turning on for no apparent reason. I have to push power 5 or 6 times to put it to sleep and it does the same thing every 10 minutes or so. If anyone knows what the issue may be feel free to drop a comment. Thanx.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
You installed an new app? I have an app ClockSync that will turn the screen on and sync, then turn the screen off.

You could hook up to your computer and run a logcat of it happening, that should identify the cause.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djolebih:
Din't have clock sync but I do have lots of Go apps installed that might be causing this. I will pull a logcat if it happens again. Thanx Andy.

Does anyone know how to setup a static IP address on the ics rom. I have the silver03wrx collective rom installed on my phone. I have tried all setting and advanced setting and no where do i see or have an option to setup this info so i can access my wifi setup at home. I can set up my network name / security / and password, but i can not add my ip device ip- gateway- dns server etc...

any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] galaxyuser88:
Nevermind figured it out. it was a little sneeky devil. wooohooo

Here are the steps to set up static ip for anyone needing to do this.

1. go to system settings

2. click on wifi

3. click on add network

4. enter your network ssid

5. choose your security

6. enter your password for you network

7. click save

ok here is where you have to let it find the network, let it connect and aquire an ip address (even thou it is not the correct one) let it do its thing. do not skip this step otherwise you will not be able to configure the ip or save it.

once it says it is connected go back and do steps 1-2

you will see your network and it should say connected.

long press on your network name. it will bring up 2 options.

1 forget network

2 modify network config.

click on modify network config

it will bring up a bunch of settings. scroll down till you see a box that says :" Show advanced options"

click on the box. ( do not save or cancel the window)

scroll down a little bit and you will see 2 boxes

1 proxy settings

2 ip settings <<< click on the lower right hand coner and change this from dchp to static.

once you do this you will see settings under that box input all your info into these boxes *****( leave 3rd box that says " network prefix length" at 24 )******* once you have completed click save and your phone should be connected to you static ip network..

1 ip address

2 gateway

3 network prefix length (Leave this at 24)

4 dns 1

5 dns 2

6 ******* CLICK SAVE ********* not cancel or you will have to repeat the process. LOL Dont ask how i know this 3 times.. LOL :D

I hope this helps everyone. Sorry for putting up these instructions late, but unfortunatlly i got a little busy trying to fix a loss of root.

If this helped hit the Thanks button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
maybe you could edit your OP or second post and type in the exact solutions, for newer users who may be searching for the same thing? Heck, you may even get some thanks out of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] galaxyuser88:
OP is updated with the info. Sorry for the instructions late, been trying to figure out the loss of root that my phone is having..

ICS WLAN static IP problem solved via App "WiFi Manager"

This is my

working solution

after 4 hours of learn/search/try:

Since the main problem for us all was the disabled "save"-button I searched for a workaround.

I found an free App "Wifi Manager" by Kostya Vasilyev in the Google Market.

OK, mentioning this app may sound a little spammy but it isn't!

If you make a longclick on the questionable SSID (see 2nd screenshot in Google Market) you have the opportunity to set the static values. And this includes the good old subnet mask.

By the way: Nice info here: "www gadgetwiz com/network/netmask html" about the

mystical 24

entry in the ICS static settings. The "Address Prefix Length" is a new subtitution for the old subnet mask.

Best regards,

fredo
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
I was playing TripleTown a very addicting game once you figure out exactly what you're suppose to do and my phone went completly un-responsive (couldn't even turn off the screen) so I had to wait then my screen shuts off me thinking the screen finally timed out but it had shut down then finally rebooted and I see my battery level went from 70% to 40% (as indicated in the picture) anybody know why this could of happened?

Oh, this is on GV 2.0
[LG Revolution] wslguy:
Mine did this the other day when it froze after a phone call. Mine dropped from about 65% to 4%. I rebooted it and it jumped back up.
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
Sadly, mine didn't go back to normal once I rebooted thankfully I didn't need my phone for anything important.
[LG Revolution] wslguy:
Hmm... Not sure then. Are you on GV or updated to ZV8?
[LG Revolution] JetBlue:
GV tempted to go to ZV8 but not sure if I should take the time and steps to update to ZV8 and re-root and re-add CWM
[LG Revolution] bjordont:
Loooks like this is happening to everyone recently all at once. Its creating problems...
[LG Revolution] mark843:
I had the same issue while surfing the web last week. Not sure why it happened.
[LG Revolution] NwOh_Starsky:
I had this happen earlier today. An in progress call froze, phone said battery was dead. I power cycled and had 68% remaining. Anyone know what is causing this?
[LG Revolution] axel417:
I have also been having this problem. For me it showed up along with many other bugs in the ZV8 update. I had never had the problem before then.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention that the issue seems to have subsided after a factory reset. I haven't spent much time on the phone post-reset, but since I haven't seen the issue yet, it seems to have improved. I wouldn't recommend that kind of hassle to anyone unless it became a huge problem for them.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] SpaceCaker:
well ive been requested to port this rom to ace

so i did

its a really heavy themed rom

with lots of mods

ive ported this from the HTC HERO CDMA

------------------

SCREENSHOOTS

Details:

This rom is basically a highly themed CM7.2. I give all credit to the developers of LiGux It includes the expanded LiGux settings which allows a lot of customization. I'll expand on customization/options in the second post. It features "pop-up" notification power tweaks from the top right of the status bar.
