[Samsung Captivate Glide] sjbotha:
I just got my Glide a few days ago. From the specs of the phone and reviews online I was expecting the battery to last very long, but that hasn't been my experience.

My battery was going down about 10% every hour which means I would barely make it through a work day without charging it again.

I found a great app called Battery Mix that tracks battery usage and estimates how long the battery is going to last. It shows a number called P/H (percent per hour) which tells you how many percent per hour the battery is going down (or up if you're charging). You can find the app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.smapho.battery_mix

When I first installed the app I was getting about 12.5 P/H which means the phone will only last 8 hours. I then uninstalled a few apps that use battery, but that didn't help much. Somebody said their battery improved when they formatted their SD card, so I just removed the SD card from mine. Now my battery consumption is down to about 8 P/H. The best I've seen is 7 P/H. This is better but still would only get me 12 hours and I'm not running all the apps I would like to be running.

I have JuiceDefender running now on the balanced setting. I'm running the Osimood ROM with Android 2.3.5. I've removed all background network polling apps like Facebook. Android OS is using 56% of the battery followed by display at 15%, so there isn't anything else that's eating up my battery.

How is the battery life on your Glide? Could you please install this app so we can compare numbers?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
Woah, 56% battery life for the Android OS?

On daily usage it barely gets above 20%. The screen takes most battery life.

EDIT:

*Note that Anzeige = Display
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sjbotha:
Thanks for the info.

Mine has been sitting on standby most of the day so that's probably why display is so much lower on mine than yours.

The high percentage of Android OS doesn't really worry me. It doesn't mean it's using a lot of battery; it just means it's using most of whatever is being used which could be a small amount.

Mine is doing much better now. P/H is down to 4.3 which means it could last 23 hours.

I really think the problem was the SD card. I'll pick up a different one after work today and see if it works better. I need a bigger one anyway.

I also found a thread that talks about corrupt image or video files on your phone causing bad battery life. That could definitely be what I'm experiencing. Should be fun figuring out which image is causing the problem.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
what about downclocikng your cpu to 800? it will help i belive.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
OK just installed it. I will let you know how mine is doing in a few days. I am fully Rogers stock.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sjbotha:
I replaced the SD card and it seems to be doing better now. There may have been images on that card contributing to the problem.

I actually had GPS, wi-fi and bluetooth on the whole time. I've turned them all off now.

I've also underclocked it to 800. Thanks, taiber2000.

It looks like for the last hour it only dropped 3 percentage points.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] clpo13:
If you are rooted and have ClockworkMod installed, you can sometimes get better battery life by resetting your battery stats. I think there are even some apps for rooted phones that will do it, but I don't have any experience with them. I can say, however, that resetting my battery stats using CWM increased my battery life significantly.

See here for one guide on how to do it: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/bugless/111009-get-better-battery-life-reset-battery-stats.html
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
sjbotha your welcome.

i belive i will do the same when i'll get my phone as well. altugh i will install the OC rooted kernel for better overall performance i will still downclock via software, not need the extra sterngh for my uses and i better have longer use time then CPU power.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I get 4.9 but the other day I was getting 12. All I did was Reboot my phone and I haven't started many apps. I think when they start they stay in memory.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
Mine depends on usage:

-about whole day wifi-on with 3 hours games and calls; if battery is 100% at 6am, it will be 20-30% at 10pm

-whole day HSPA+ on, 2 hours phone calls + SMS/MMS, emails etc; if battery is 100 at 6am, it will be 50-60% at 11pm or before I sleep...

in terms of P/H:

-i get 3-5 P/H when wi-fi, Auto-Sync is on.

-i get 2-4 P/H on HSPA + Auto-Sync on.

-about 1-2 P/H or sometimes a straight line on Battery Stats when Idle, no data connection and/or auto-sync is on.

in other words, the glide can handle my needs in a whole day without completely draining it's battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
Hello

I am thinking seriously to buy the GS2 of AT&t to use it with my ST SIM card...Now please I want to know your opinions , should I go for this Galaxy S2 , or not ? should I wait some time for something new ? I know this device is of August or Sep 2011 technology , but stil the hardware is excellent ...

Another point is that I can get it for around 450$ locally from AT&T store (plus tax extra) .. is that a good price from a trustful seller ?

Thanks

Edit : I will not buy it through ATT contarct ... I will pay full retail price and get a ST SIM...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Personally I would at least wait till May 3rd for the SGSIII announcement even though we wont get it will end of the year but its nice so you know before you jump the gun. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
I have to agree. If you can't wait, it's a nice phone if you don't need 4G.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
Can you explain more please ? you mean LTE ? I don't think my city would get LTE at least for a year from now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alex4lex:
Examine your own needs thoroughly.

I don't have LTE, I don't have huge hands (No One X or anything above 4.5 for me!) and I wanted a phone that could last through a day and then some on moderate usage. The GSII in my opinion still trumps other newer phones. It's got great battery life, huge developer community, great screen, and the almighty Exynos to power your games :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
Yes, LTE is what I meant. If LTE is not a big deal for you, and you can't wait for the Galaxy III, then I say go for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inspectagadget:
I love my SGSII! But, if I were you I would also wait until the SGSIII announcement. I am a gadget freak so for me it's hard to stick to one phone for long, but I'd have to say that the SGSII is one of the best devices one could own.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] evohmonkie:
I bought a refurbished/like-new gsII for $250 just 2 weeks ago to use with ST. Im am very satisfied with it thus far(was previously using a Samsung infuse 4g). SGH-i777 runs noticeably faster though i prefer the larger 4.5in screen on the infuse. And yes 4g is available and works very well through att + straight talk for me.

If your looking for a bargain, i would look for a used gs II (~$250 is a great deal for buying a smart phone like this off contract). But if you have 400-500 spend, you might as well wait for the newer phones which have larger screens with better resolutions and better specs overall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
That estimate seems really low. The S2 (both international and AT&T) is still selling for like $550 new. You think the S3 is going to sell for less than $500? It'll probably be more like $750...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
That's a smart point indeed ...

AT&T stores and website are selling the GS2 I777 for $449.99 now

Maybe a little less in 1 or 2 months , ~$350-$400

And for sure GS3 price would be skyhigh in the near future , ~$750 or more when released , at least 3-4 months from now ... Clearly out of my budget..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aj9507:
The SGSII is a great phone and it still has a few more good years left in it and like mentioned in earlier postings still competes if not blows away newer devices. if LTE is not a big deal for you and getting the latest and greatest right away is not your thing, then by all means grab this phone. It has great community support and with it being somewhat of an older model it could be had at a bargain with some research. i got mine for $51 including taxes with a 2 year agreement which i didnt mind cause I just got added to a family plan at Fry's electronics. Anyway grab one or not you wont be disappointed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] evohmonkie:
well, full retail price will definitely be up there but you can usually find people reselling newer model phones between 400-600 in new/like-new condition off of craigslist/ebay/amazon. Also i pretty much consider everything above $500 to be in the same price range. If your really gonna drop $500 on a phone, might as well add the extra 100 or 200 to get best of the best.

If you look hard enough i know you can find great deals out there, or you could always pay full retail too i guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
You should always be extremely wary of buying a phone from craigslist/ebay/ecrater...I've seen a few sellers purporting to sell the Galaxy Note for $250-$450 new, and they've all had no ratings and unsigned web pages. Suspicious to say the least.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
/\

+1...Craigslist is full of stolen goods
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Even the international Note is $550 new now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Yeah, and that's strange to me. Seems like it should be more expensive than the S2...

bull. i sell phones all the time and obviously if its $250 for a note then thats a scam why bother. got a skyrocket for sale now for $350

you don't need LTE cause you're running ST.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kLAcK107:
I am a new owner of a SII i777. $100 with a new contract, very good deal for me.

Its the best phone I've had so far. I like the screen size and resolution. I'm trying out new radios and pulling down 8mb/s so far on "4G".

I bought my wife a iPhone 4S, and I feel like I've seen everything its ever going to do...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
Thanks Calical ... The point is that I am trying not to buy a phone that has no future , imagine I bought a non-LTE phone just 4 or 5 months before LTE kicks in in my city .. Would be kind of disappointed .. Only God can know , and it might never happens at least for a year from now ....

If I know I will be HAPPY for a YEAR with GS2 I777 ----> I will jump for it quickly...Otherwise , Skyrocket would be a better choice (even if ST doesn't offer LTE when it comes , might have ATT service if that happens)

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Don't buy a skyrocket. The processor is slow, and the development community will never be as active as the i777 community.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
OP,

Beware. I read something about a guy using ST and his service getting deactivated. Something about using too much data. He said they also couldn't tell him how much was too much. The amount I remember wasn't even a huge amount; it might have been somewhere in the ballpark of 2 gigs or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dwd3885:
i just bought the i777 yesterday or $350 like-new on eBay. I have been switching around phones a lot lately and find the S2 to have the best android camera available (INCLUDING THE ONE X). The Galaxy Nexus camera is just terrible compared to the S2. With CM9 on the S2, it's a no-brainer for me. It's a very good phone and a fantastic price on eBay anyway.

The Nexus is over $450 and the One X is around 650-700. The S3 will likely be around that price too until it's available on US networks, but think about how long it took last year and the year before? You'll be waiting until mid-summer at the earliest I would think and even then it would be really expensive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
Thanks(and thanks button too)

Yes I am aware of that...But to tell you the truth,peeple are exaggerating the issue ... I can never blame the company , some people think it is smart to dump their net subscription at home and tether data to hell .. Some stupid was happy he pulled 8 gigabytes of data and ST didn't contact him , and then he also asked for his friends and family to have windows updates from his tethered data from his phone ..That's ridiculus and if I was in charge of things at a wireless company I would do the same (dump this customer) ... because that's exactly "abnormal usage"...IMO data in a smartphone is for smartphones only
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
I think what it comes down to is, yes, you should buy a Galaxy S2. It's the best you can get for your money(assuming you don't want to spend $700), and it is relatively future-proof.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:
Check the xda marketplace for a good s2. Might find one cheaper then att store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 1weener:
Think about it. Why would it ever be too late to get the best phone around? Something may come out better at some point, and probably will, but does that make the GS2 any worse? This is a great phone by any standard and will continue to be for a good while longer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mahanddeem:
Thanks...very logic .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Quite honestly I'd highly suggest waiting for the announcement of the S III. Why? If you were to go with the LTE-Equipped S III, you would be FUTURE-PROOFED; if the S III is not your desire, then you can score a cheap S II, since everyone will be selling it to buy the S III.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
There is no such thing in mobile tech. Make a decision and be happy with it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
Except for the fact that this is LTE we're talking about, I highly doubt It'd take 3+ years to install it in his town.

It's like buying a cheap HD-DVD player, when the adopted Blu-ray is about to come out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
HSPA is viable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V07A4ER:
Why my phone does not support OC ?

Non OC kernels and roms work just fine but with OC always bootloop. :mad:

Is this hardware based or software based restriction? Anyway to bypass this? :confused:

Thanks for help :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmAN00bie:
There is a maximum your phone can overclock to before it begins drawing too much power for it to handle. Maybe you are trying to push it too far?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david.degraw54:
Or maybe you should try using a kernel that can actually be overclocked...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Well, I take it for granted that you have the right kernel with OC support.

Once you have the right kernel -generally speaking- and one application that manages the OC (or the terminal itself) you've gone half way long, since not any Cpu is the same, even if it should be, according to the manifacturer.

The naked truth is that Cpus are built in order to match the standard clock to which they are set, while some of them can bear a huge overclock. But the matter is that you have got to play with undervolt and overvolt, to get the right tuning.

Most patched kernel support a uv-ov fine tuning and each of us must look for the right tuning for his own device.

Always generally speaking, you can look for "smartreflex technology" to get what it is (it something by Texas Instruments).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysDroid:
So for example, my gio stock clock speed is 787 (actaully runs at 800 though on stock roms). Some people can overclock it 940MHz stable, while some people (like me) can only stably overclock to a mere 844. One tick over to 864 for me, and the whole thing craters and reboots like crazy.

Im using Cyanogen Mod 9 and the kernel does not support Over/Under Volting, only CPU scaling. So if i got a new kernel that supported everything my one does now like init.d, scaling, and all of that good stuff, if i was to overvolt, would my CPU handle a larger overclock? Or is this simply limited by the variations between cpu's when it was built?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Well, I am neither a professional coder nor a CPU manifacturer but, according to my one year experience at Nokia n900 Italia forum, which I think could be referred to any arm cpu, even if the phone runs android, the differences between the same CPU are huge band the only way to get the best id to try a lot.

For example, my n900 CPU standard running at 600 MHz, could not bear extremely undervolted profiles but, at standard voltage, was stable at 1150 MHz...

So, just try though imho undervolting and scaling to save battery life are more appealing than oc itself.

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

One more thing, because I had missed a part of your post.

IMHO overclocking and overvolting together are the evil itself because of the heat that such thing would cause and the phone is not a pc with its fan to refresh...

Much better oc and undervolting:)

Well as it sais on the title i would like to know what modifications are posible to do on a mobile without losing warranty and especialy the Sony ericsson warranty.

I already know root will make you lose warranty but you can unroot to get it back and such things. I dont want to do something that will void my warranty and that i will be able to restore it to get the warranty back.

So that is what i want to ask for

1) Moving apps to sd without root

2) Change Boot Animation without root

Well if you know any other modification without root such as install more themes i would be greatful.

So if someone with a rooted GB can run the following:

For example, as far as i know, the milestone 2 is very similar to the defy and the Pro looks similar too.

We just need it to boot, so we can push the needed files to system.

Have you uploaded your CG37 somewhere, so i can test in on my MS2?

Re upping this thread..

My Milestone came back from motorola tech support with a unrootable 2.3.6 so I need ANY gingerbread userdata backup. You don't even have to use the dd command if you don't want to. A data.ext3.tar or from clockworkmod would do.

Also you can wipe data before creating the userdata backup so I won't have access to your stuff, but boot at least once so the phone can create the needed files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] celkin:
First off I would just like to say I purchased the Note last week outright, never have I has so few regrets after spending $600 on a phone or any electronics. After coming from Xperia devices for the last 5 years the Note is a refreshing change.

Anyways to the point, when the power button is held on an Xperia device there are additional options such as "reboot and take screen shot", Does anyone know how to add these to the power button options, the reboot option on the Xperia play was added via a CMW flashable zip file. Is there anything simaler to this with the note? I miss both of these options so very much.

Cheers

The "quick boot" app in market works fine and will get you in recovery .....also tapping home plus power takes a screenshot. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] celkin:
Yeah Rom Toolbox also contains a "rebooter" option which will alow restart as well as boot into recovery, was just hoping someone around here had a solution aside from having to open an app or widget option. Perhaps a zip file to flash. Anyways, not a big deal. Hopefully someone with some more development experiance then I will do it eventually. Might check the other galaxy forums.

Thanks though.

[Sony Tablet S] noisebringer:
Hi!

Is there any way to create guest user on tablet s?
[Sony Tablet S] HKboy92:
That´s not what Android is made for. And how do you want to use the guest accounts? Maybe there are other ways to obtain your goal.
[Sony Tablet S] Mahaco:
It would be possible after a unlocked bootloader you could do a dual

Boot when you start the tablet just choose between two roms but thats only a feature for now
[Sony Tablet S] agc93:
Also worth clarifying that with Mahaco's solution, it would be as if you were "logging in" to two completely different devices. Your apps, data and preferences would not be shared across the two modes.

More importantly, as HKboy has pointed out, Android is designed centrally around the concept of a single user (one UID, one usable GUID etc) and there is no way to access other users apart from the run-as capability for the root user (referred to as Superuser, gained by rooting the device).
