I think you should use DEFY+ CM7 and download DEFY miui rom, but porting is not simple.

Yes I did not use it. and my in 4 hours 30% discharge. m using Slim ICS with Siyah kernal and Yes i had read that post about android OS. there's no way Android OS drain can be that much.

Is this a Korean Version fault?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
and my problem is not related to better Battery thread. or it is? please guide me :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
give it some time to settle and install betterbatterystats so u can kno if anything is causing wakelocks,,,,,also wat i suggest is turn brightness to lowest,auto sync off,no livewallpaper,use data only wen needed,enable power saving mode,turn off wifi,bt,don use live widgets,avoid task killers, hope this helps to a point....and using totally black back grnd helps alot in tecky way...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casterina:
Wait about 3 recharges and check what your drainage is then, if the problem still occurs, try reinstalling the ROM. Hopefully, the problem should be fixed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
wow, you are doing all that? Is there much point in you having a smartphone then?

No, the intelligent ones take the advice to use BetterBatteryStats. The others just moan about it and make fail threads.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
I had this issue on every phone running ICS 4.0.3, even on nexus s and I found out that it is the bug in OS, it's a false reading. But if you really experience battery drain try to reflash and use clean rom for a couple of days and see if it's still present. I hope I helped you, cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
i guess have to change my rom now. I love slim ics. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
No logic says you go to the rom thread and find out if its the rom or the user .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
No, you don't have to change rom unless the rom is draining battery, and you can check that by reflashing it and use it clean for a couple of days. ;) I have stock i9100 ics 4.0.3 and battery stats are reading android os as one of the top consumers but I don't have any drain. I guess it's a 4.0.3 bug because I had same reading on nexus s with stock 4.0.3 and on various stock/custom ics roms on different devices.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
I just found out that this bug can be fixed if you disable screen touch and lock sounds in settings>sound. Apparently this keeps os awake. I've disabled all sounds except ringer and notification on my devices and now I'm testing that theory, I hope it will cure that bug and maybe give me some extra battery life. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
You realize this is not normal, and trying to fix is stupid in my opinion, waste of time, I'm have used aosp and cm9 and stock and all are way low.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
maybe it's stupid, maybe it's not, but when I see that something is wrong i try to fix it, and as far I can see turning those sounds is working, my awake time is now only 15-20 min longer than screen time on both my devices. Before I did that it was 2-3 hours longer on a daily basis. I think he should try, and if it works, great, if it doesn't he should change the rom. Not really waste of time as he can test that in couple of hours. Cheers :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Right by turning off some of the functions of the OS that should be working in the first place
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
well, blame google for that because it's a general ics bug...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
What are you talking about? I told you I use stock, aosp, cm9 all are under 10%.

Stock ics

Early AOSP 4.03 no tweaks at all.

Cm9 4.04
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
I'm just giving suggestions what he could try. I had various devices with stock, custom, aosp ics too and android os was always in top 3 battery consumers, sometimes 10% sometimes 60%, depending on voice calls, screen usage, etc.. If the above mentioned method doesn't work with draining problem he should change rom or reflash, that's what I'm saying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
While you were surely trying to help, using your time to fix something that bad which surely is not normal is waste of time, when you can just flash again and fix the issue.

That's what I think, doesn't mean everyone has to agree.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
So did this Theory works?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
but 4.0.4 did not have this bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
When Samsung release 4.04 then its fixed .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
Thanks To All for Replying me. I was too frustrated by this Bug and i done these steps from Scratch to fix this OS bug issue. but still no Luck ;(:mad:

1.flash Stock Samsung Rom I9100XXLPJ from samfirmware. (it is 4.0.3)

2.Flash XXKL1 Modem. I searched alot about Modems and found alot of people saying that this modem is good for battery. and it is latest stock modem.

3.have to give up slim ICS. and move to Hydra2aokp rom(4.0.4). with hydra kernal(came up with The rom).

4. i have not touch NS tools, not any performance settings, not even init .d Scripts.

Setting my desktop, and playing around the rom for 1 hour. with screen timing was 52 mins

and after full charge, and using for 1 hour(Setting my desktop, and playing around the rom for 1 hour. with screen timing was 52 mins). my Battery Stats looks like this, and Stil STILL STILL OS bug :mad:

is there an error in S2 to show this? i dont know. after 5 days m still stuck on this issue. and searching on internet like hell.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If you are ready to wipe, do it, using cwm format system partition, data, cache and sdcard and wipe dalvik.

By sdcard I mean internal storage not your external sdcard, remove it just in case.

Using Odin flash stock GB ROM. From there you can go to you're custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
Yes my Last option is to Flash a stock GB rom and Then going to install a Custom Rom.

and all the steps that you have mentioned, i already had done those. installing over Stock Gb would help i guess so
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
s there something wrong with my cell phone? Why is this happening?

I format system

Format SD card

format emmc

Format cache

Wipe data

Wipe delvik cache

Wipe cache partition

Flash GB ROM via Odin.

Then flash hydra ROM.

I have not used any backup. Just plane download apps from play store.

At night the OS drainage was normal. But when I woke up this morning Android OS drainage again gone to 50% :( . That crap appears again. Is there any solution to this? Or m I stuck in the middle of no where
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bena1988:
For now it seems to help, awake time on both my tablet and phone was only about 45 min longer than screen time, in 1 d 10 h I got 5 h 30 m screen time on my tablet and 2 h 30 m on my phone with 30-40 min talk time, about 50 gtalk messages, 10 mails, data connection always on. Now I turned on all sounds I can and now I'm waiting to see what would be the difference. Android os was at about 20% in battery usage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
How about remaining on stock for a while and test, before rendering your phone as faulty.

Also see what apps you are installing, might be a app that is responsible.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:

also flash GB stock and remain on it for some time.

and no samsung GB roms are not **** for sure, same goes for ICS roms but they are not as good yet.

[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
This morning my phone starts to pop up OTA update message to 1.3.418.en.US every 2 hours. I recently SBF'ed back to 2.3.4. That's probably the reason. HOwever, I am no pageplus, not on Verizon, not sure why I get this update though.

Regardless, should I update? will this screw up my root privilege? As a software developer myself, I am very reluctant to do any necessary update. I know how much bugs we generate with new code :D So is there a way to bypass/deactivate the update?
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
You should use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the market on 2.3.4 to keep root and upgrade. It will alike for you to have the newest kernel.
[Motorola Droid X2] ddyourself:
Can I remove this APP after the upgrade?
[Motorola Droid X2] SlimMan:
I tried to have my phone rooted and use voodoo, however the update wouldn't install when I done that so I am now on 1.3.418 w/o root. :(
[Motorola Droid X2] Maximinus I:
Just sbf back and try again.
[Motorola Droid X2] RacerXFD:
Yes.
[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
yes after update, and root is restored you can remove voodoo

It should be 2 files

I'm using earphones for the first time on p6200. I've tried with Samsung galaxy S factory model while watching movies but I have a problem. The tone is funny, I'm hearing some tones ok, like gunshot and car engine but people talking is bad or no tone at all. I think that it has something to do with 5.1 sound because sound of camera mp4 clips is ok. On tab speakers sound is ok. Is there some settings to fix this and is this problem only with this model earphones? Maybe if I change them...

Thanks.

[Motorola Droid 3] TheSpaid1:
Hi my question is if I flashed the 883 radio image to my xt862 droid 3 will my phone still work on verizon as long as I do not put a gsm sim card in the phone. My phone is sim unlocked so it can work outside us with a sim but I would like for now the option of att prepaid like h2o or straight talk for $45 a month while in us and I have seen many people talking of how to flash 883 and phone works on att but nobody says if it still functions on verizon still. So I guess my main point to the question is if flash the radio image 883 will my phone still work as it does now with verizon but then if I pick up a prepaid sim card and put it in and select gsm for network it will function on the prepaid network till I remove it and then can I put the network settings back. The reason I ask it I still have 1yr and 2month till my contract is up with verizon and I would like to have the phone on att pre paid or straight talk after that to save money I love the phone but hate the cost of verizon and the data limits.

Thank you for any and all imput. Dennis
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
No but you can flash radios back and forth and change build.prop as needed and it seems to work.
[Motorola Droid 3] TheSpaid1:
883 and verizon

Thank you for the quick response and it is as I feared. Lol I guess all I can do is get all the files and info I will need and wait till my contract is up b4 I do it I am stuck on verizon for another yr and 2 months then I will flash it so I can save money. Again thank you for the clarity on this
[Motorola Droid 3] cellzealot:
Actually, the answer is yes, the XT883 radio can be programmed with QPST using a service programming file with VZW authentication values and PRL and it functions in Global mode with full CDMA/EvDO service and can be switched via the Mobile Networks menu to GSM.

I had my D3 setup like this although it was not activated on VZW at the time.
[Motorola Droid 3] NOMster:
I'd be very interested in doing this if you could help out with a link or something pointing that way. this is exactly what i want to do, but finding the info is proving very hard

Ok my question:

My baseband-version of my ICS-version is i19100BU

LP6

So my number is LP6

What does this mean?

Since almost all themes don't support LP6.

So my questions:

1. Why don't they support this version?

2. Are they ever going to support it?

3. If I flash a custom ROM will I be able to use the ICS Domination theme then?

Thanks :)

There is no need to get defencive about your question, not everyone on this forum will snap at you for asking a question, if members do just ignore them. I would say that your best bet is wait for the samsung Galaxy s III, also is your phone rooted have you tried diffrent roms and kernels, to improve the battery life of your Galaxy S II and you would be able to tinker with you cpu.

Help Needed for a complete NOOB

Hi all, new member as i just got a samsung galaxy S2!

Ok, so i have bought a sgs2 of a friend at work. He was messing with it(trying to root it, he thinks) and did something wrong and messed it up, so i bought it of him for very cheap to have a go at fixing it. Things that are wrong with it - when you turn the phone on it just comes up with samsung Galaxy S2 gt-19100 with a yellow triangle under it, it wont go any further. I can get into the download menu, but i cant get into the menu to do a factory reset. Another thing is it will not charge, when i plug it in to the mains or a pc it just comes up with a battery and a little circle inside it, but dosnt move and dosnt charge! O and yet another thing i dont now what firmware was on it before, but i no it was O2 if thats any help. If i have left anything out that you need to no, ill be hear all night trying to get this thing going! Is it even possible for this to be fixed as i had a good look threw this website and the internet and cant find anything about this. I can post pics if needed!

Thanks

Ps. i hope i have put this in the right place, If not please feel free to move or remove.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Hulk:
Ok so the yellow triangle means he tried to flash an inscure kernel, which is fine but you seem to have got into boot loop. When you connect the phone to the computer does the computer recognise the phone. If it does then you can flash a stock firmware from here all the instructions you need are on that website.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Settings --> About phone --> Build number. I suspect yours is LPC rather than LP6, but that's just a guess.

2). I can't answer this question definitively because I don't yet know your build number yet, but themes and mods tend to be released for popular ROMs, you can always change.

3). You can see in the relevant thread which ROMs are supported http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1334922 which at the time of writing appears to be LP3, LPS, LP4, LP7, LP8, LP9.
