I froze software update with Titanium Backup and have not yet had any BT problems. I use stereo headphones.
[LG Revolution] dadecamp:
I spoke too soon. My BT was on before freezing update and it stayed on. I just toggled it off and now won't turn on, even in settings. Will try to unfreeze update to try to repeat.

Ok, just defrosted software update, started bluetooth, refroze update, and can use bluetooth without issue.

You may have to keep BT on all the time while having update frozen.
[LG Revolution] n00bzilla:
How do you freeze the backup using TB? I forgot how lol.
[LG Revolution] dadecamp:
Easy. Open Titanium Backup, Go to "Backup/Restore", Click to edit filters, enter Software Update then Apply. Touch the Software Update app then select Freeze. Done.

Remember to have Bluetooth running before freezing update and don't turn it off. Also, I think you need TB Pro to defrost but you may be able to freeze/defrost with something else like Rom Toolbox.
[LG Revolution] amorpheous:
Thanks dadecamp for posting the method for freezing the OTA updater. I was able to stop it at 87% ;-)

Bluetooth has stopped toggling for me also, but since I never use it I'm OK with that.
[LG Revolution] SmokinHawtVegasChic:
When my phone tries to run the OTA, I have to take the battery out to stop the rolling reboots. The first time it happened was this morning about 3am while I was at work. It just did it again.

I installed TB Free on my phone but it says superuser permissions are denied and that I'm not rooted and that I don't have BusyBox installed. I am rooted as I use OpenGarden WiFi tether for tethering almost daily and phone has to be rooted for that to work as well.

How do I get TB to work? BusyBox says I'm not rooted and Superuser was denied. How do I get superuser to accept permissions? ETC ETC?:(
[LG Revolution] ashtonpeek:
Bluetooth without software update...

I just made sure I enabled bluetooth before uninstalling...

If you keep it on and don't toggle it off it will work...

I just uninstalled using titanium backup (can reinstall to retoggle)

but to keep from accidentally toggling I installed Super Status Notification bar and removed bluetooth toggle...:)

that way you only have to be careful when connection to new device, otherwise it should connect automatically, except for to PCs but then just connect through pc bluetooth settings instead of phone's bluetooth:cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengi_it:
As discussed in a specific thread, ICS is not managing the car mount supply power that, by activating the "car mode" (basically voice commands and phone calls in horizontal), causes ICS phone application to crash and the system crashes completely!!!

I tryed closing the voice commands interface (opened authomatically when connecting the power supply in the car mount) but that is not enough and the phone crashes at the first phone call or bluetooth stereo audio interaction

While waiting for a fix in ICS, I was wondering if the community here knows how to avoid that the "car mode" is activated, as a temporary turn around

The issue, you can imagine, is that we cannot charge the battery in the car mount, critical for instance while using the navigation app that drains battery!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Though have never used the car mode/mount but you can freeze it using Titanium Backup if you have root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengi_it:
I see, thanks. My doubt is if indeed "car mode" is managed by an app that we can kill/freeze or instead is just a sort of "system configuration" activated by the car mount chip
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Well as i told earlier haven't used it so never looked into it. But the car mount gives the system a signal (yeah the pin connectors position should be different...look inside your normal usb connector and the the car dock connector...they should have the pins placed differently...) that the phone has been docked to the car and hence the CarHomeGoogle.apk gets activated. So if you freeze this app the system will still give the command to activate the app but since its freezed it wont run.

I might be total wrong.....but just what i thought!! Never experienced it so learning it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dengi_it:
Your advice makes a lot of sense. I didn't know the name of that apk, it might be the one to be freezed!

I just asked in the specific thread here if somebody else can give a try, as at the moment I have not got root rights on my ICS... let's see!!

Thank you very much for your advice!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] reddragon72:
here you go. I looked up some other info and the gibberish some of you seen is because AOSP based roms do not have the WEA coding in them. The coding is inserted by carriers. The WEA coding will force your phone to perform the annoying screatching noise you hear on the radio and TV regardless of the volume and ringtone settings. Also there is a new version of the WEA coding that will not allow you to turn off your phones screen till the message is read.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargan:
(I thought I asked this recently but can't find the post)

OK ... first off GPS / Nav works.

The issue is first off in car use cigarette plug charger, when as a phone only (or playing music via BT) all OK .. battery keeps topped up.

However if I use SatNav the battery cannot keep up .... even though it says charging it slowly discharges ..

I read here some car adapters don't give out full mA current, (that SGS can take) to be 100% sure, I went and bought a 1.5A USB adapter and still the same ... no problem until I switch on SatNav ... then it starts draining ... a couple of % every 15min.

I assume this is simply down to screen taking so much current .... but in very simple terms the phone should be able to keep up via charge when SatNav is enabled.

Anybody got a fix for this ? (screen dimming is enabled)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesan:
Ok seems that I am not the only one that is seeing this.

I've owned the S2 for a week and it feels very weird coming from HTC products.

It charges sloooooooow. Also I noticed that battery monitor shows weird values were on the Desire HD it was giving rock solid logical numbers in aspect of Voltage and current.

The s2 sometimes gives me 80% at 3,952 Volts and after a 40min drive 78% and ... 4,012 Volts. It is not stable at all

Just checking the stats in the batt monitor tool.

23:21 at 70% and 3,986 Volts while at 9:00 at 82% and 3,981 Volts.

It doesn't make any sense at all to me

From what I have read is that the charging controller of the S2 is only capable to charge up to a rate of 650mA while the HTC charged at 1000mA (0,65A vs 1A).

Now today I switched off wifi while driving and then it seemed to be very slowly charging. Give that a try and let us know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheReverend210:
Different types of chargers charge at different rates. Mains charges at 650mA, but USB and misc are around 450/550mA. If you're rooted you can change the charging currents in ExTweaks/Voltage Control/setCPU/whatever, however USB is limited as to what it can output anyway, and if you try and force too high a current through, things start to fry.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargan:
You would not use a Mains charger when using SatNa

It would be a basic requirement that SatNav use in car would be able to keep charged with a USB charger.?

As the same micro USB port is used, how does, phone know its not on Mains?

In answer to above Q ..Wifi is off, I always turn it off when I enable BT.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesan:
OK, that is an 'easy' one. The chargers 'shorten' the 2 data lines.

I've placed shorten between brackets because it doesn't do any harm at all.

I've you install battery monitor you can actually see 'usb connected' or 'ac charging'

As always using waze on my trip to work which takes about 50min.

Started at 58% and went up to 65% when I arrived.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargan:
Here is a simple Q then (maybe I'm naive) .. I am not using USB data port to charge, but a car USB charger point (no chance of any data)

Would charger manufacturers not have this 'short; in place as they are making chargers only ?

If not can you provide any details how to do this ... chargers have plenty of current, be good to get phone to use what it can of this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
dont know how to fix your issue but just to let you know its normal for the phone. Im always on my sat nav with a car charger and never been issues with losing any power. Quite often it comes off charge with more than it was plugged in with.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodisson:
Hmmm.... I'm using original Blackberry car charger for both BB 9700 and SGS 2.

Yes, it charges slow, but with BT and GPS on it does gain on charge/percentage.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
They should have but unfortunately they often seem to 'forget' it :rolleyes:

I have attached two photos showing an adapter I fixed myself. Look at the image 'charger-bottom-side.jpg' and notice the red circle. Within this circle you can see the short between the two data lines (D+ and D-). The short is simply a drop of tin-solder.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesan:
As I said in my post. Install battery monitor and see if it says 'usb charging' or ac charging
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargan:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sargan:
I have now purchased a new lead and charger (to be sure)

Running the App it shows "Charging AC Plugged"

It cannot keep up with current demand when Bluetooth & GPS active ... slowly discharges.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukesan:
I have had the S2 for about a month now.

Seems like Sygic is the only GPS soft which I tried that doesn't hit the cpu 100% all the time.

I did a test over the weekend and with everything 'on' it slowly charged the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyga:
yes

yeah, battery monitor will let you know that.

also suffered from this in the past
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimbo33:
I have had the discharge problem using sat nav (Copilot live premium) and a car charger (various car chargers actually). Stock S2 with generic UK firmware. The problem exists on 4.03 and 4.04 - not sure about previous GB as updated to ICS as soon as I bought the phone.

I have found that if I apply battery save mode and turn down the screen brightness the charge just about holds station.

But the strangest thing I have found, although reading around I have not seen it mentioned elsewhere, is that if I enable mobile data the phone charges just fine whilst using sat nav. The problem only arises when I disable the data connection. This came to my attention whilst abroad where I deactivated data to avoid preposterous roaming charges.

This rather implies to me that something is trying to use the mobile data connection when it is deactivated and is causing battery drain when it can't. This could be any app of course, but the problem only rears its head when I use the sat nav (power hungry) with the mobile data turned off.

Has anyone else noticed this? Any advice on narrowing down which app/process this might be would be welcome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Sorry for bumping into this thread but I think I can help.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think your question is:

-Battery charging cannot keep up with discharging rate while using GPS and Bluetooth.

Reason for this problem:

-This occurs because usb charging further is lower than charging via wall charger, hence the battery heroes discharging when the demand is higher than the charging rate.

Solution:

-we need to increase usb charging current to equals the Ac charging current

How is that possible:

1.Root access is needed. If you don't already have root access key me know

2.custom kernel needed.

-You need to flash one of, Siyah, Dorimanx or dream kernel.

-Any of these kernels has the option to increase usb charging current

-move to 3. If you are already running any of the listed kernels.

3.after flashing the custom kernel, install extweaks from market.

-open extweaks

-under "misc", change the charging current to option 3.

Done

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
Wrong. Just read your own quote from Sargan's post:

I advise not to do that because:

It will not solve this problem as charging from AC is already detected by the device (see above).

The option is dangerous and will enable (if working at all) charging with the higher current limits from any USB port.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobHin:
good to know
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimbo33:
Actually in my case when using sat nav it will charge with mobile data enabled, but will discharge (whilst connected to the car charger/wall charger) without data enabled.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
It's not dangerous at all except if you are going to charge your phone with an old pc and you can even disable it for some time.

Please read my explanations again.

The discharge rate will always be higher than the charging because of the low usb charging current restricted by default.

I, including many people on XDA, have using this charging current mod, for many months (about 11) already without issues.

When I'm streaming via MHL, I face similar issues too and the only solution is always to increase the usb charging current a bit from the default 450mA to 500 or 600mA.

The wall charger, uses about 650mA

Edit: considering the time you joined xda, and your number of thanks, I seriously don't expect you to dispute/drag this issue

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
This is the reason for ExTweaks labeling the option risky :rolleyes:

I did. The problem is not while charging from USB as you say, it is while charging from adapter (also known as AC adapter even it if it is a DC adapter in the care).

Fine...

See above.

Oh dear, do you really think the number of thanks received or articles posted on XDA is in any way related to the knowledge a user has, kind of sign of quality? Couldn't it be that someone posts here due to skills not acquired on XDA, like, school, education, job or even a masters degree in electronic engineering? The number of thanks for instance could just as well be a measure for the 'spoon feeding factor' of an answer posted. I'm not gonna talk about the number of posts/day 'since XDA join'. Just go through the forum and see yourself if you can find any relation :rolleyes:
