[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
I have been Using my SGS2 on cm7 since the day i bought it some days back.. The thing is i dont get good battery life. Battery Monitor Widget Pro shows -10mA to -90mA and sometimes upto -150mA drain in stand by. Last night i lost 13% in 8 hours. I recharged it to 100% the battery drain was about -2mA for 4-5 hours then suddenly it increased to 50mA and now its -91mA since 2 hours continously. I am on Siyah Kernel. Smartassv2 kernel. Cpu underclocked to 1ghz. i Also have autokiller. brightness to lowest. And manually kill apps. I got the phone coz the my old iphone was not lasting a day but it did last 5-6 hours of screen on time. SGS2 doesnt give me over 3 hours of screen on time. NO WIFI. Just 2g data. Whatsapp every 10min. 4-5 min gaming a hour.

So you read the ten million battery faq posts and make a start with better battery stats thread and app .

TEST with a stock GB rom .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
I didnt understand the first sentence:o . AND Yeah i am going to try the stock rom today. I even tried miui v4 as well as gingerbread version of miui but got no improvement. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casterina:
Make sure you give it about 3 battery cycles :) download CPU Spy to see if your phone is going into deep sleep
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
I think 15-16 charge cycles have completed. I flashing stock rom and then trying cm7 again or should i try miui?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
MIUI GB is better in battery life comparing to ICS V4,

use with siyah kernel, with app Voltage control undervolt 25v each, noop + coservative, 200-1000mhz

giving good result.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
i got stuck in bootloop after restoring from odin = lol. i will try what u told. Thank you !! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katestar:
Try pulling your battery out, leaving it 30s and putting it back in, I know that has helped some people get rid of some pretty annoying wakelocks(if wake locks are you problem), it has worked for me in the past :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
i will try it :)

BTW i went back to stock GB rom. Get 1.5%/h drain without any apps installed.With apps i am gonna be so screwed. :|
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casterina:
Do you flash with CWM?

It's much easier, yeah with moderate usage I could get 1.5/2 days battery life with stock battery :) It's a very good ROM, although the MIUI team have stopped developing due to the development of MIUI V4
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
U talking about miui gingerbread version right?There are so many miui roms. Makes it difficult to make out whats whAT..:D i flashed the stock rom with odin. The other roms i flash via CWM itself.. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
basicaly all MIUI roms are same, some developers in XDA are just ported with some tweeks and modifications.

some of them are:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarz123:
so i went back to stock rom. Wiped out the storage. Reseted the phone. Installed nothing. Still i get -57mA battery drain that is almost 5-6% per hour in standby. I have searched like anything. I just cant seem to find anything. My android os usage is 70%. And the battery info shows phone awake for maximum time. i even undervolted on siyah kernel. Didnot use data at all but it shows no difference. Stock,Miui,Resurrection,cm7 no difference. I simply cant get over 4 hours of screen time and phone looses 20-25% over night with data disabled and no apps installed. Am seriously loosing faith on android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Hi everyone,

So basically tomorrow is my birthday:D and my parents would be getting me something. I was thinking of a new gadget.

I currently have the Google Nexus S

So for mobile device I've got the Galaxy Nexus in mind, or the HTC one X.

But lately I've been thinking about tablets. I do not mind getting a tablet to pair with my Nexus S. I was thinking about the kindle fire, but I do not know how to get it in Singapore. Or the Asus Transformer, but im unsure of it because of the price.

So can you recommend me a tablet that lies with the price range below 350-400USD or $500 SGD. ?

So what do you think? And or is the galaxy nexus upgrade a better choice? Please help in advising me. I'm in a dilemma.

Thank you so much!! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krakataus:
If I were in you I would only think about the Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100) or the Samsung Galaxy Note.

The S2 is very well supported by a wide community of modders, has got a marvelous screen, and great hardware.

The Note is bigger but still smaller than a tablet, and gives you the possibility to use a very sensitive stylus.

Have a look at the size, and have your choice. If my S2 breaks I will buy a Note.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ianis G. Vasilev:
HTC One X has a Tegra 3 chip, currently the most powerful SoC solution. So I would suggest going for it - it wil be powerful even after 2 years.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestoun94:
S2 or Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I got the S2 but i would rather want the Samsung Galaxy Nexus cuz it's more "Google" if you know what I mean.. cuz i hate the touchwiz, I know you can get a ROM but still.. AND the nexus got the Navigation Bar! :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimustrip:
If I were in your place I would have gone for tablet, having two gadgets of different leagues is better than upgrading one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Thanks guys, I would take all your advice into account. I am hoping for more replies because all your replies are opposite one another :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cepcamba:
Ok I'll add some more to your confusion! :p

Getting a new device is like getting a new pair of shoes. You should get the one that fits you comfortably. Here's a short list of what I'd get if I were to buy a phone (depending on need/want):

*available phones only

-Xperia S: Camera monster and cheaper than the OneX, at Par with SGS2's performance

-OneX: future proof (probably good for the next 2-3 years), powerful GPU

-Samsung Galaxy Nexus: timely updates (that's it)

-Samsung Galaxy S2: wide dev support, probably still good for the next year or so (but the resolution is too low IMO)

-OneS: beats the OneX in some benchmarks (in their native resolutions), IMO S4 chip is better than the 4-PLUS-1 A9 tegra 3, more affordable too.

IF you're going for a TAB and you can't afford a Transformer Prime don't settle for the Nook or a Fire. I suggest you get a Motorolla XOOM. It's tegra 2 powered and has an HD screen (1280x800) compared to the 1024x600 of the Nook and Fire, and it has a very wide dev support.

I suggest you go for a TAB and don't upgrade your phone. That way you'll have your Nexus S (which can still run almost every app on the Play Store) and have the XOOM for your multimedia satisfaction :p

Happy Birthday bro! good luck on your gift!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bernie Nolan:
We have a number of tablets here where I work, and the one that I like the most is defiantly the Asus transformer. But that being said I agree with the last guy the XOOM is a good one and also is most acers. But price aside I would say the Transformer Prime would be a fine choice! :cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Thanks dude!! I really sincerely appreciate it :) it must have taken you a lot of time to write that out. Thanks:) good news I've got a few more days to decide. And haha you've added to my confusion:P

I've ruled out tablets for now.. this is due to the reason that I wouldn't bring it outside of the home anywhere with me unless I'm going overseas on holiday. This is due to school and lack of time..

So now you've narrowed me down to 2 devices which I had my eyes on. The One X and the Galaxy Nexus. Looking at the One X's development section it Loos empty. That's probably due to cwm being recently released for it. So in the 5days room I've got (parents waiting for a $150 voucher, phone costs $400) I will check the development section of the One X.

Now I wonder, which roms do you think will come to the one X? Aokp? Cm9? These are some basic concerns I have.. looks like I might have to actually go with the One X. How about MIUI on the One X?

Something that bothers me is the One X has a very different look from the Nexus. Minimalistic stuff on the launcher would be pretty difficult to achieve.. so any screenshots of cool designs done on the One X?

Thank you all guys!:) I hope you had a good day.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Kinda got rid of the tablet idea :P thanks though!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shockem:
Bad news guys... just checked. The HTC One X is $698 come pared to the Galaxy nexus $400. Guess it has to be nexus unless you've got suggestions..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cepcamba:
It's kind of hard to recommend a phone better than the Galaxy Nexus in it's price range. However I have 2 options I'd consider:

Xperia S:

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4219&idPhone2=4369

pros:

-Best Camera in the android world

-32GB storage

-Sony's reputation of giving updates even to older devices (X10 came out with Donut and came as far as Gingerbread)

-Better CPU (1.5GHZ snapdragon vs 1.2GHZ TI-OMAP)

-with card slot

cons:

-no gorilla glass (can be offset with screen protectors though)

neutral:

-SuperAMOLED vs LED-Backlit_LCD (matter of preference)

-4.3" vs 4.65" (matter of preference)

Samsung Galaxy S2

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4219&idPhone2=3621

pros:

-definitely more afordable

-with card slot

-better camera

-more powerful SoC (better processor and GPU)

-very wide dev support

cons:

-not retina display

neutral:

-4.2" vs 4.65" (matter of preference)

Both these devices are significantly more affordable than the Galaxy Nexus and both has the same, or even better, performance.

Personally, I can afford the OneX but I'll be getting the Xperia S. IMO (benchmarks aside) there is nothing the OneX can do that the Xperia S can't, at least for the next year or so. And in two years time I'll probably be changing phones again, so I'll go with the Xperia S for now. :)

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shenoyjoseph:
well i tested some roms like slim ics, dark night, aokp and gamerz. But i seen one similar issue which i was facing and it irritates me alot :(. The problem is when i installing some apps the phone becomes slow. Even when i press the menu button it will open slowly and touch sensitvity becomes lag. Is everybody facing this issue please let me know:)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MortenJ:
Have you tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data?

Do you restore your apps from Titanium Backup? That could be the problem if you made the backup when you were on Gingerbread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] shenoyjoseph:
Every time i will do wipe/factory settings, wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. Rom runs extra ordinary at the first time after using some days, the phones becomes slow when i touch on menu button it will opens very slow and i checked the ram the phone is using only 200mb rest 140mb is free.

I didn't restore any apps from titanium. For every new rom i will install new apps from Google Play.

You should not have flashed a Kernel to get rid of bricked screen (phone!PC), you have to get download mod and falsh complete ROM that time...

Hi!

I have installed JJ's ICS Rom and the Xperia keyboard add-on but the option to activate voice input is greyed out even after I installed Google Voice. I tried to reflash the keyboard add-on but it didn't change anything. Any clue ?

Thanks.

Solved: The Google Voice App from the market was not good, I took one in another rom where it was a system app, pushed it as a system app and added it's library (voicesearch.so) to system/lib. I changed the permissions just in case to rw- r-- r-- and it works now.
[Defy General] williambrown188:
My defy battery has been playing up every cycle now. Tried using battery calibration. Been trying both Quark and Eppy builds. Now on the latest Defy Quark build. Got a green lens defy. Haven't a clue what is wrong.

Nothing explains the massive drops. It always happens around these points every cycle.

Any solutions?
[Defy General] pozibrothers:
I'm having the same problem with my green lens Defy. When battery is between 40-30% it suddenly drops about a 10-15%.

I haven't been able to found a solution to the problem yet (I have yet to try battery fix, but i think only red lense Defy's need it).

At first i thought it was a battery calibration problem, but after wiping stats everything remained the same way as before (now I know that wiping those stats does absolutely nothing to the battery).

I hope it's a software related problem and not my battery dying.
[Defy General] elnovio:
I think it is ics-based. I experienced after calibration (Hard-battery-script) two drops every circle, 55-49% and 29/26-19%.
[Defy General] williambrown188:
Cheers for the information guys. It's good to know I'm not alone. I couldn't find anything on it!

The only things I can relate is that it is on green lens defy's. Maybe...

Is there no solutions for you guys? I found that calibration did nothing too.

How long have you guys had the problem for?
[Defy General] pozibrothers:
I first found this bug after flashing CM7.2 RC1. After seen it twice, I decided to wipe battery stats but it didn't work.

After that, I flashed CM9 (epsylon build) and was behaving the same way as CM7.

I couldn't tell if this bug was happening on stock Froyo, since it didn't have any kind of battery graph and I wasn't noticing anything suspicious to install a more detailed battery app.
[Defy General] shadowchaos:
Easy,guys.

Although its battery has these two gaps,

it remains on power which means it lasts longer at every 1% than before when there's no gaps.

I have kept a record when I just purchased defy.

That time is 2.4 hours per 1%(full discharge) mobile(2G) standby,

and now I have these gaps (14% total)as you mentioned,but it lasts 2.8 hours per 1% at first 20% then 2.7-2.5 hours per 1% to the last.

Actually,it is the same amount and this is under 1 year use!
[Defy General] salingpusa:
is it my phone or battery

im using cm9.

my original defy suddenly died (got swollen) so i bought 2 new battery from two diff. supplier. (SNn5885A). it charges ok for the first time but i noticed on the first battery when it got drained. it wont charge anymore. it got stuck on 4%. the other battery, not wanting to fully drained it, turned it off at around 50%. but when i tried to turn it on this morning, it got the same thing as the other battery.

the question is, is it my phone f* the battery or they are just no good? how will i know?
