I totally agree with this, we need to start pushing this thread, get a following, coz im damn sure most AMOLED users understand the importance of black and would appreciate it. And those that dont need to know. Perhaps we could start a movement, get a blog/website, contact app and rom devs. AMOLED screens aren't exactly gonna go anywhere so this could definitely be a good thing.

PM me please if you're interested in starting a blog/website for this, i'd love to help

hey. fwiw; if you press the home button 4x in a row it'll invert the color scheme. Press 4x fast again to go back to normal.

what about burn spot at amoled display

is it true?
[General Topics] Dkon_alex:
Super Amoled are supposed to have less battery usage. It
[General Topics] Incyter:
Yes I have heard of people getting Screen Burn (That's what it's called).

I have not yet seen any indication on this..but my device is not yet a year old.

I wouldn' worry about it...

Most likely spot for screen burn is the notification bar on the top of the screen, but you can turn full-screen on during apps loading.

Honestly; wouldn't worry about this.

You'll have bigger problems getting your stuff to work right and then going nuts ensuring your battery is under control.

lol.

just flash MIUI. on my sgs2 if u push the homebutton 4 times really fast it inverts colours.

And its inherently easy on battery and good on performance.

very, very handy!
[General Topics] Incyter:
Not sure where you're getting this. This generation of devices are power hungry and screen is always the #1 consumer.

They are not power efficient yet. But ... it is what it is.

It is gorgeous while it lasts!

Don't worry! Be happy. And get a spare battery!

;)

didn't i just say that? :silly:

But i was referring to Resurrection Remix (RR). Which is impressive!

What do you like about Miui? I've heard good things about it.

How's it compare to these AOKP builds? Have you ever installed that?

cheers mate!

yee ahah didnt read that far back!

look to be honest im new at flashing.

I tried to flash neat rom and tweaky - both supposedly good for battery, but on both of them my mobile data DIDNT work. Tried flashing new modems, typing in correct APNs but still nothing, so im stuck on MIUI (great rom to be stuck on!)

so untill i find out how to work my mobile data on other roms ill be using this MIUI.

MIUI is just nicer. Its more polished. I like the toggle menu in the drop bar, how settings are organised, the white and orange colours. The music player and browser it comes with are fantastic, maybe even better than stock.

Combine it with Siyah with a bit of underclocking and undervolting and you extend the battery life significantly with little to no impact on performance.

Only thing i dont like is the Iphone trait that ALL apps are on the homescreens. You have to organise the apps you dont use often in folders etc.

otherwise a great rom!
[HTC Sensation] cristiccd:
Hello! I have a HTC Sensation device with the new ICS 4.0.3 and 3.6 Sense.

Software vers: 3.32.401.5

Now.... It's having a huge problem.

With the wifi turned off and with the mobile connection turned off, these 2 start automatically without doing anything. This happens in the night because only in the morning I can see this problem. What happens? What can I do?
[HTC Sensation] cristiccd:
There is nobody who knows what can I do? Please help me. I really don't know what happens.

It's a known issue. It's a bug from HTC and they need to fix it...but there several post from the arhd forum said that reflashing firmware seems to fix that bug

I think I found a solution to your problem, at least for the Wi-Fi bit. Go into Settings -> Wi-Fi -> push menu button -> Advanced -> Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep

Now this seems to be set to Always by default. I do not know why though. Just change that and it should fix it.

How are init.d tweaks set up and initialised at boot time? I have edited some values in init.u8800.rc, init.rc, and added a script to /system/etc/init.d so far and nothing seems to get changes to stick. Is it a kernel problem or is something else overriding changes later? This is in my CM 7.2 rom based off Ezet's Cm 7.2.

I can either get a replacement battery, 2 of them + a charger for $25. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-1900mA...ccessories&hash=item4ab3e5b7e8#ht_2690wt_1252

Or an external very portable battery 2600mAh for $25

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-Colorf...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item7916fc4474

Or external battery (not as portable) 3600mAh for $25.

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-Extern...ccessories&hash=item4cfeea48ef#ht_6381wt_1361

All the same price. I'm thinking of getting the colorful anker battery. I could charge the phone while both are in my pocket. Since it's more than one charge, I don't have to worry since I can easily charge the battery again.

Or I can get a single Anker battery for $18.

What do you guys think?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] stormtroopercs:
I recommend the 2 Anker batteries with charger because that's what I have and the batteries last the same or longer than stock. Also I always have a extra battery In my pocket and a extra at home.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Sepharite:
I can't use the charger as an external battery, can I? Like plug my phone into the charger via USB with the battery in the charger, and charge without AC connection?
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TheV:
@OP, any specific reason to not include the Samsung 2000mah battery+cover in that list? Because that is certainly what I would recommend.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] dishco:
I agree 100%. It's the battery they should have included as standard, but i'd reckon the marketing department wanted the lesser capacity battery so they could say how thin the phone is.

Any way, i got a couple of generic batteries off ebay, and my god they were awful to use. Maybe it was my experience, but the phone would get so warm using them and they would drain in less time than the genuine battery even though they were the same capacity.

Maybe it's just my experience, but i'd go genuine from now on based on what happened to me.

could anyone give some reviews?:)

much thanks

I use the Samsung 2000 mah battery and I also have a 1900 mah Anker as a spare in my pocket.

I just carry a small piece of cardboard with the Anker battery so it can sit tightly in the extended 2000 mah case

Both batteries are fine but I prefer the Samsung one.

The Amazon reviews of the Astro3 external USB backup battery are impressive. Reports of people charging a phone and an iPad2 (a greedy device if ever there was one), charging two devices while watching video on one, etc. Very tempting for the price, it sounds like just the thing for a cross-country plane flight.

Really interested in personal reports here....

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Blondiepowa:
i think both are possible. I had one when I was with my SGS. :cool:
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Scott Y:
I also vouch for the 2000mAh extended battery. It definitely lasts a full day and I am very very happy with it.

The 2000mAh battery is so great that I am skipping over the SGS3.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] buxz777:
its one of the reasons iam keeping my sgs2 i reckon with the bigger screen the sgs3 wont last as long as the sgs2 ith the 2000mah battery :-)

plus my sgs2 is in tip top condition and hasnt let me down yet performance wise so why do i need to swap lol :-)

if anyone wants the best battery soloution for the sgs2 for me personally its

2x 2000mah samsung batterys

1x samsung desktop charger

this way you can use 1x 2000mah battery in your phone and hammer it hard while you have 1x 2000mah battery being charged

when one is charged the other is flat meaning a quick power down and 10 seconds later you are up and running again with a 2000mah battery at 100%

been using my phone like this for the last 10/12 months and it rocks

never have to wait for my phone to charge , can use it heavy and not worry about wether ill make it through the day , good for travelling , takes pressure of the usb port as the phone is never being charged that way

all in all its for me the best option out there and means i wont be rushing out to buy another phone anytime soon :-)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] batkinson001:
I am considering buying this, do you know if it will charge a blackberry playbook?

I am going on vacation and need to find a beefy battery pack to keep my stuff running.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] D200P13:
this thing comes with 12 different phone adapters to charge to a universal usb connector so it can charge a bunch of devices. it also comes with about 6ish (not sure exactly how many) for different more powerful devices like laptops and cameras. im sure that if u have something really weird but it charges via usb u can charge it on this. i just recommend you check the volts the devices require because this has a switch for like 6v or 12v to get the proper charge. this was a great thing to buy instead of buying batteries for other devices. i was able to use my canon hd video camera that had 5% of charge so i put this in my pocket and connected it to my camera and was able to record for hours. the only problem i had was that it didnt charge the device but im not sure if i was using an incorrect plug or had the volts wrong or what. but atleast i was able to use it! ontop of that i was also charging 2 other usbs at the same time. this this is really great! i was really thinking of getting another battery but now that i have this i basically have battery for ALL my devices with about a days use for only $55. i had my htc sensation connected and was running gps for 12 hours straight with it only getting its power from this device and it still had enough juice to charge other devices. great product!

if anyone buys that anker astro3 on amazon please pm me your order number so i can send it that i referred you!

I have one stock battery and one samsung 2000mah. Difference is visible on every step. When daily used, I just take two with me. When one is dead, I put next and by this way even in hardcore usage mode of my phone it`s good solution. In the evening I`m charging stock battery and when I go sleep I`m putting extended to phone and it`s charging while I`m sleeping. Battery life in my phone is not good imo, but it`s always some type of solution...

Well I just can tell you guys that Anker really rocks!

I bought 2 batteries including US-charger and they really works flawless.

the charger is very lite and very well for traveling -about 65g and with my adapter 90g.

So now I have 3 batteries and just change them when they are empty and I have now enough energy for bike traveling and Gps.

That really works well and i don't have any problems with irritated batteries.

If you are using a new ROM just calibrate it when the battery is empty, change it and then delete battery settings in CWM and reboot.

I used Insanity build no. 70 the last weeks and atm Slim Rom 4.2 and no problems.

well I'm about to get it, actually... The brand isn't fully unknown like the another one (there wasn't even one), there are some mentions about it on the internet.

Just waiting to confirm my PayPal account with the credit card... Is there any other way to put money there without it? My next credit card bill will take almost a month to arrive...
[Galaxy S II Accessories] kmetek:
you could always open moneybookers account ( and get an mastercard there, fee is 10€ a year...but you would wait few weeks to get it.)

then bank wire transfer to your moneybookers account and attach it to your paypal :)
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adriatic_mne:
As for the battery, try getting anker, but through some forwarding system like shipito.com. It can be a little pricy, but find a few friends who would like to buy something online that doesn't ship to your country, and you can combine shiping, then it is much more affordable.

I tried anker batteries, and I can say they are very good. They hold more than you could mathematically expect: 1900 anker / 1650 stock = 15% improvement, but they hold for up to 20-30% longer, IMHO.

As for the credit card, you can always go to the bank and ask them for listing of previous couple of days, so you don't have to wait for the listing. And try enabling SMS notifications or even e-banking, it can come handy when doing business online.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] TattooSam:
After fourteen months of use my Anker 1900mAh battery still performs a good deal better than the stock battery. I got mine from Amazon back then and they still come up there occasionally.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] garagedroid:
I heard that cheap batteries are made out form expired materials that allow them to work only for 100-200 charge cycles.

Why don't you check a good quality battery manufacturer like Mugen Power or Seidio? They are more expensive, but claim 400-600 charge cycles.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] adriatic_mne:
+1

I have mine for just over 6 months. And it's performing wonderfully. Thou I ordered it from ebay. Anker has its stores on both ebay and amazon under seller laptopmate_usa.

As I said, I wouldn't throw away an Anker so easily. If it is cheaper than stock, it doesn't necessarily mean it is worse. I also bought a replacement battery and charger for my sister's laptop, and those are fine products too.

In general and in my experience, Anker products have quality close to or as much as original ones, so they are worth investing money in, costing about half a price you would pay for an original.

Also, they managed to pack 15% more mAh in the same sized battery (for my SGS2), while Mugen packs 50-100% more mAh, but in the battery double the size. In my opinion, it ruins the aesthetics of the phone much. I rather keep one in my wallet or pocket, than to have it ruin my phone. I am not lunatic for the looks, but with Mugen cover it does look awkward.

You will not regret it, it is a great solution and lasts almost twice as long as the default battery.

Just be careful with the leg/stand as its paint tends to chip off easily and then it gets a metallic look. But the battery itself is good and the bigger case fits solidly.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ZenithLM:
