So I switched rooms last week to unnamed cause I had no volume in calls. Other than that, both unnamed and scom are two of the best roms I've used. That said, if anybody knows what could be causing the volume issues during calls I am all ears.

woah that looks cool :P i wonder what rom too :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dbldown7:
This is the only issue I'm having. It seems that I can't get wifi to stay turned off for more than a minute or so. Whether I turn it off with the toggles or through the settings menu, it will reconnect right away.

GPS is a little less fickle. It is either on and it won't turn off, or it is off and it won't turn on.

Clearing cache and fixing permissions doesn't seem to help much.

Otherwise...performance is flawless. Loving this ROM. Just throwing this back up to see if anyone else is having these issues.

Even with GPS and wifi constantly on, battery life is AWESOME!

Thanks for all your hard work Erik.

Hey I want to create a custom SOA theme. What would be easier/ look better: ADW theme or one that can be flashed over SCOM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] that_guy23:
probably a flashable would be better for those people who don't use ADW launcher.

Did you check md5 of rom?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
it wasnt working on the rom before the new one. the one before was VB and then i did GR and flashed SCOM and its the samething.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Sounds like it might be a hardware issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nativesmiley:
it was working this morning just fine. but all of a sudden it wasnt connecting. it would scan and then disconnect, just repeating itself.

EDIT: fixed it. it was my router, just had to unplug it for 30 sec and plug back in and my phone connected.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Unplug your router. wait five seconds. Plug it back in.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrok76:
Hi,

I was reading in the dev section and read briefly about an app called onibar? which allows you to change the status bar icons. Does anybody know where I could get the app from, or know of any app which would allow me to change either the status bar icons and/or the drop down notification?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
don kno tht app , but custum roms hav tht feature preinstalld or u can flash mod zip files the way u want..but only custom roms..don kno abt stock rom..:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berq219:
Search for ROM Toolbox in Play Store. It does that job, very useful app. Icon Changing is under Interface options. Must be rooted ofc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrok76:
yeah, I have tried ROM Toolbox, in fact I bought the Pro version, however the mods aren't compatible with S2 yet apparently (says the dev), a couple work but not many..

I have Dragon ROM installed now, more than happy with it

Thanks for your help
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Its bound to come up.

For the week prior to the shipping of the pre-order units, conversations with AT&T reps were almost always the same. Love the phone, I moved from iPhone to this phone, its dam fast, the battery sucks.

I got my phone Friday morning around 10ish. I charged fully, went to AT&T to swap my chip over and I let the battery drain. Since then, the battery life is barely tolerable.

I use the same process all the time on all my phones. No charge until I go to bed at night...usually 11. I take it off the charge when I wake...usually 5ish. I read the news, etc for the next 20 minutes. I then go to work, charging until I get to work. I arrive at work around 7ish, with a full charge. And I go all day. Even on weekends I do this.

The Lumia 900 battery was not lasting through the day.

I go to plug in the phone last night, and I noticed its almost fully charged. I checked to see if this was my phone, which is stupid becase we only have 1 lumia.

So this morning, my usual routine, phone was fully charged and off the charger at 6:45. Its now 9:20, so ~2.5 hrs. The charge is at 98%. I know it gets better with time, but it usually takes a week or so....this is good news for battery hounds.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Day 5:

6 hours off the charger

Tons of email and messages

about 1 hours of Peoples tab and Internet

2 15 minutes phone calls

Battery at 79%

Is that good?

Ok, finishing my 8 hr day, well, actually 9 hrs. Came in the door at 100%.

Phone Calls: 4 for a total of 1 hr.

Text/Messaging: Alot, in the hundreds.

Social/Internet viewing: about an hour.

Battery Charge out the door: 66%

I guess that works for me.
[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
Sounds like it. My focus would have been at 50% by then.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Everywhere I read says the battery types in our phones do not have memory and do not need primed. That said I was in panic mode yesterday when I picked it up from At$t. Phone stated it was at 15%, I drained it setting up the phone and finished it off with WPBench. It only took about 1.5 hours for it to say it was 100% charged with 1 day 15 hours till needing recharged. Once off the charger I made a call to my mom to see how I sounded. Call lasted about ~8 minutes. Once off the phone it said I had 79% charge left. This was around noon. I was able to make it to 830pm with 9% charge left, that's when I connected it to the charger.

Today, a full day of work, with an office inside a warehouse (horrible connection 1 bar'ish) I listen to music stored on phone via the phone's speaker at level 1 (same as level 10 on my Focus) for 8+ hours and played Wordament a few times and had about 30 emails, 17 text messages. I have 3 active background tasks, and 18 advance background task. I'm home now with 23% (2 hours remaining, 11 hours since last charge) charge remaining. All %'s and time is from the battery saver tab of the phone.

I'm still undecided on the phone's battery life. I suspect that a firmware update may be needed like the 800 to fix the accuracy of battery meter on the NL900.

I would like to hear from others and to see this become a thread in progress to help decide if the phone is displaying the correct information concerning the battery.

P.S> Turned phone off and back on, it now states 32% remaining (4 hours). I think the phone will need a firmware update to stabilize the battery meter.
[Nokia Lumia 900] ragingclue:
It goes through the same routine as my Surround, and so far today, and my battery is at 61% where my Surround would have been <30%. Whether it was just old, bad hardware, whatever... My Surround had terrible battery life. This phone is much better by comparison, which exceeds my expectations.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
Good plan...better than my last phone, Check! End of Checklist.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Lmuggs:
I have noticed that the battery life is no where near what I expected based on all the reviews and threads I am reading about it being great. I hope it gets better over time given that its only 4 days old.

I charged the phone fully overnight and took it off the charger at 9AM. I have taken a short 5 minute call, sent a few texts, 10 minutes of browsing the web. I have 2 email accounts set to push (outlook and gmail), bluetooth off, wifi on, signal is a little weak in the house so I'm sure that diminishes the battery some due to the radio having to poll for the signal all the time. As of right now I am at 11%. That's 8.5 hours of minimal use.

One thing I noticed is that I do see, when viewing the Battery Status page in the diagnostics tool, the current discharge seems to get pretty high without touching the phone. It will go from 100 mA to approx 600 mA, hover around 300 then back down to 100 mA and repeat this cycle over and over.

Can it be that push is not set up correctly with Gmail? On the iPhone I remember having to set it up as an additional exchange account to get push to work correctly.
[Nokia Lumia 900] provenflipper:
Coming from the iPhone 4S, I'm getting less battery with the Lumia. I'm fairly certain it has to do with my phone swapping from 4G to LTE all day long while I'm at work, even though when I have LTE reception its full bars. Hopefully a firmware update comes out that will either fix this issue or let me turn off LTE entirely.
[Nokia Lumia 900] go0gle:
LTE can't be switched off manually ? I assume its a similar situation with GSM/HSDPA switching up all the time.. it drains my battery as well, so that is why I keep it locked on either EDGE or HSDPA. There should be an option to turn off LTE if you don't need it, especially considering AT&T's LTE coverage isn't all that good yet.
[Nokia Lumia 900] Lmuggs:
I think that's my issue as well. At home for some reason I get a very weak signal (1 bar of 4G) and I think its burning a lot of juice trying to maintain the signal. About a mile away from the house I get full bars on LTE.
[Nokia Lumia 900] chivamex10:
I am loving the battery life on the lumia.

Then again I was using the skyrocket before this..

I've used both my 4s and lumia today.

iPhone's at 63%

Lumia's at 70%

The only thing that kills my battery is internet sharing (duh).
[Nokia Lumia 900] simplyanin:
Nokia is Battery god :D
[Nokia Lumia 900] fleon888:
My Lumia is clearly having issues with battery calibration- could someone help me out with a test?

With all my other Windows Phones, if the battery runs down, the phone gracefully goes to about 2-4% (as shown in battery saver) and displays "goodbye" and shuts off. This is what is supposed to happen. With my Lumia 900, it goes to 0% and I get about another 30 minutes or so of heavy usage (in my case, streaming video/downloading apps/etc). The Lumia then just shuts off. No "goodbye", just straight to black and needs to be plugged in.

Can someone run the battery out on their 900 and tell me if they get a graceful shutdown or not? Clearly, my battery is showing much more depletion than actually exists, and I'd like to see if this is unique to me.

Thanks!
[Nokia Lumia 900] DarkSi08:
I ran down my Lumia last night, and it did NOT do a graceful shutdown.

For the record, I think my battery life has been fantastic. Yesterday was day 2 for me, so I've still been playing with the phone constantly. My phone was removed from the charger at 7:30am, played with non-stop, (easily 4-5 hours of screen-on time, I'd estimate,) played about 2 hours of light gaming (words by post and doodle god,) and just short of 2 and a half hours of meetings over bluetooth. My phone didn't die until just after 11:00 last night.

Once my usage evens back out, I don't think I'll have any problem at all getting 2 days out of the phone.

For reference, my GSM Galaxy Nexus would have died in the same amount of time under normal (pretty light) use. My Lumia has been doing double-duty, as I'm usually using my Kindle Fire for bathroom breaks, and I've been using the Lumia in there, as well... So, I'm impressed.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
doesn't the verge give that nexus god status? If so, you're blaspheming. Bravo on the battery life!
[Nokia Lumia 900] Jigganaughty:
I happened to have been at the store to pick up some corporate devices. We're mostly an iOS shop with some Androids and Blackberries in between. I'm probably the only person that has a Windows Phone 7 device. Anyway, while I was there, I happened to bump into the Nokia rep for the store so we chatted for a bit and we discussed the device and what I like and don't like about it. He informed me that in order for the Lumia to get a full charge, you need to use the charger that came with it. Specially for the first 5-6 times. It apparently outputs at a different wattage then most charging devices and that any other charger will only charge the battery to around 70% even though it would show it at 100 on the screen. The Lumia charger will also bring the 900 to 90% charge from a dead battery state in about an hour.

For those experiencing the dismal battery life try charging with the Lumia charger instead of your other chargers. I was doing the same thing since I had tons of micro-usb chargers from my other device. I'm going to try now to see if what he was saying is true. YMMV
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
This is true with WP7 devices across the board, and especially true with Mango devices. Using the $1.95 amazon throw in car charger, doesn't seem to work.

I've been able to successly use the Dell Venue Pro and the Samsung charger interchangibly with all my devices with the same impact. Amazon special...not so much.

The Nokia's rep was a standard CYA response they always give, but in this case its pretty true. At the very least check the outputs on the charger you are using and insure its equal or better than the Nokia/Samsung ones.

Good Call out.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 937dytboi:
Battery is ok better than my dvp by a slight bit
[Nokia Lumia 900] keti2:
The Lumia Battery life probably drained faster than other phone because of its 4G - LTE capabilities. I actually have a blackberry and I usually used it for 2 days without charge. I now switch to Lumia and have the same difficulties to maintain the phone's battery life to maximum. I have been playing with my phones for several days and it last up till 7 p.m with 2 hours of browsing. 20 texts and emails, and also playing games for 1 hour and a phone call for about an hour.
[Nokia Lumia 900] rohitgarewal:
I have an interesting perspective. I got the phone on Friday, and fully charged overnight. Saturday the phone lasted about 15 hours before it drained. I'm now traveling in Brasil, and yesterday after 15 hours I had 48% left. The big difference here is in Brasil there is no LTE, so I'm roaming on regular data, but used the phone for a lot of emails and texts.

I'm happy so far with the batter!
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
So, after almost a week, I can say I'm very happy with my battery life. It lasts from start of work until I go to bed, easily. Thats at least 18 hrs. And, I don't usually have to plug it in when I go to bed...anywhere from 20-40% still left.

If they plan to do with the battery, like they did with the 800, I might have a battery that lasts a week.
[Nokia Lumia 900] emjlr3:
battery life for me has been great

better than my Focus S for sure

I had the phone on for a day, sitting, doing nothing, then played with it the next day for a few hours, and have played with it some today, and I still have over 50% remaining - its up time has been well over 36 hours with maybe an hour plugged into a computer doing some files transfers

pretty damn good IMO, and that is off a first charge, so it may get even better
[Nokia Lumia 900] riffraffer:
Microcell vs Battery

I have found that being connected to the AT&T microcell really chews up the battery. Three times the normal draw, in my case...
[Nokia Lumia 900] JonnieLasVegas:
I've been happy with my battery life. I get a full day (7am to around midnight) of battery with HEAVY usage. With regular usage I get nearly 2 days, all on LTE. I get the same battery life with my 900 as I do with my Radar.

Battery Issue

I bought the Nokia Lumia 900 last Tuesday, I was really excited about it. I encouraged my wife and my sister changed their iphone 4s and Galaxy nexus for this phone. But since we bought them batterys' performance on all phones has not been great. Battery drains very fast. I usually unplug it at 8 am, 100% charge,but by 1 pm i am getting critical low message.My wife and sister have the same problem. I conditioned battery, draining batteries completely and then charging them full.Also I updated phones with new software. but battery performance is still no good on the three phones.I have tested phones with none live tiles,nor background apps running,and set up brightness low, but phones battery drains at ~15-20% per hour at idle. i do not get it, and i think i might have got defective devices because everybody seems to be happy with their phone battery performance. but this is not my case. I really love this phone and i do not want to get anything else, but it is really annoying being looking for a charger all the time.:confused: I am planning to go back to store to get new devices to see what happens:(
[Nokia Lumia 900] go0gle:
How is talk time on the 900 ? It seems like they've done a good job overall, I must say I am a bit surprised considering how power hungry LTE can be...

Good idea. There seems to be something wrong with them.. or there is a application in the background that is eating away your battery, but that seems unlikely for all 3 phones..
[Nokia Lumia 900] jimski:
Are you using a properly provisioned LTE Micro-Sim, provided by AT&T. It has to be your data connection.

With 8 background tasks, numerous other Live Tiles, 4 syncing email accounts (2 push), LTE and WiFi always on, estimate 2.5-3% drain per hour with screen off. Shouldn't be more than that.

Battery Bug?

I just read this post saying that some Nokia Lumia 900 had battery bug?

"I was just speaking with an ATT guy here in Cambridge, MA. They just got the Lumia 900 this afternoon for employees to use. He stated that they didn't have their shipment yet for sale to the public. I then asked him if they had the cyan, and he said they have delayed shipment due to a battery drain bug. He wasn't sure they would have it available by Monday, April 9.......anyone else hear of this battery issue with the cyan??"

I hope this is my case, and they corrected it.:) I bought phones in Boston.
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
no, haven't heard that. But I have heard lots of stories from people who do not yet have the 900. All, questionable. I've had my 900 since early on the 6th. The battery easily lasts all day. From 630 am till at least 11pm with lots left over.
[Nokia Lumia 900] eknutson:
Good points from jimski. Also, if you have wi-fi enabled and are in an environment with wi-fi networks that you do not connect to, then the battery will go down pretty quickly as well as it tries to connect. I see this behavior at work - and it's fine if I turn off wi-fi.

But with this phone, I don't bother because I still have around 50% battery when I plug it back in at home at night.

In fact, I have the BEST battery performance of any windows phone I've ever had (Focus, HD7s, and now 900). I only have faux G in my area at present (HSPA+), so no LTE just yet (although it's coming soon I hear).

Unplug at 4:30 or 5 a.m. as I head out the door, and I don't plug the phone in until 9 or 10 p.m. with 30% or greater battery left. I talk 1 to 2 hours a day, a handful of live tiles, several push exchange email accounts, lots of reading / searching / broswsing on the web, games, and music. I might not be the heaviest user, but I'm no lightweight by any means.

BTW, today's batteries do not require a full drain to train them. In fact, they live longer and keep a greater charge the more they are charged up so it's good to keep it as full as you can. The above is for days I don't keep the phone plugged in while I'm idle.
[Nokia Lumia 900] 22-40:
Similar experience here - excellent battery life, about 2 days in my normal usage, and I haven't messed with any settings at all. 2 exchange activesync accounts with push, an IMAP and a few others all syncing away with defaults.

My Settings->Battery Saver panel says it's been off the charger for 16 hours, has an estimated 21 hours remaining, and is at 67% battery. It seems to be improving since the 8112 update applied over the weekend.
[Nokia Lumia 900] moorent:
It seems that having your facebook chat turned on and your status set to available drains a TON of battery. I accidentally left mine on all day yesterday and my phone was super warm in my pocket all day and died ~5pm where it would normally still be at 25% by 10pm.

Is there some sort of an app that shows you what processes are using your battery?
[Nokia Lumia 900] alodar1:
I'm right with you. I no longer bother to turn off Wifi or Bluetooth. I have more than enough battery to run the day through. Though, I did have a situation where my bluetooth connected to my car and I forgot to turn off the car receiver...so for a awhile the phone would only talk to me...but never answer. :o more embarassing actually. Plus I set the battery saver to the low position...just in case. To my knowledge...its never turned on.
[Nokia Lumia 900] EMINENT1:
I've been trying different things and this is a new one that has always been was on.

Gonna turn this chat off along with connecting with Zune off, location off, connect with xbox live off, search for wifi networks off, and see if that is the kicker.
[Nokia Lumia 900] kaos1:
had my 900 since Friday (4/13)

battery off full charge has lasted me 20 hrs, 18 hrs respectively. Amazing... I'm coming from a BB Bold 9900 + HTC Inspire
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
Does anyone know if you leave your phone plugged in with the OEM charger if that degrades or affects the battery's life over time?
