[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maciekbe:
In my SuperSU there are no apps listed if it is [Default access - Grant]. I think it's because it grants fresh access every time an app asks. This way no app has access granted for good. That's why the list is empty. As soon as a user will grant access to app manually, it will remain on and will be listed as granted. That's my oponion.

Well give this man a cigar! He is absolutely right, I changed it from Grant to prompt and guess what, apps now appear in the apps tab in SuperSU.

Just some further observations after almost a day using SuperSU. Smoothness is definitely improved in particular scrolling

(doesn't make sense but hey, it's noticeable). The whole UI seems more fluid now. Battery life was good before but now it is stratospheric. I mean I lost 2% overnight (in 7 hours - with data on) where it's usually 3-4% over 7 hours. So that's about 0.3%/hour on SuperSU. I'm running NELP3 modem btw.

All in all, very happy with SuperSU compared to Superuser. Chainfire kicks ass!!!!!

Thanks for your advices guys. :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
setting Default access to Grant means whenever an app wants access, it will be granted (and added to the list), without asking user for explicit permission. When using that, the only way of checking, is if you see a notification pop up and telling you that app has been granted permission. I hate those annoying pop ups, so I disable them. But then there would be no way of telling when an unwanted app gets permission, that's why (for security reasons) I have Default access set to - Ask (which is also the default after fresh intall), after which it will be added to the list.

I still think it's because they are still registered under the superuser app - did you check and see? Maybe you can confirm that?

Still I don't think it would have any side effects, as the main source of the problem (su binary) has been replaced by installing superSU and letting it replace it.

That is why I prefer when switching to superSU from superuser to :

uninstal superuser update (this will get rid of the list in superuser)

or if it was not updated

clear superuser app data (this will also get rid of the list)

and after that install superSU, after which everthing will run through superSU (and the list will be added)

This isn't a fixed given, as I said, if it runs ok this way, no problem

if you want the list under superSU, just unregister them in the superuser app, and they will be added to superSU

the main thing is : the su binary from superSU is being used, and that's solving the problem....

Great to hear and having it confirmed (again...)

NELP3 modem, you say? Must give that a try, been hearing a lot about that, but never gave it much considerartion......:good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
@John,

Yeah I cleared the app list in Superuser leaving only SuperSU in there (as per your advice). Haven't cleared data for Superuser but have frozen it in TB. Don't want to do anything more now because my setup is just perfect and if I start fiddling with this anymore I know it will bite me on the bum. If i ain't broke and all that.....

Like I said earlier, not a problem, more a peculiarity.

As for modems, as you will know, it depends on carrier and location. NELP3 works very good for me in North west U.K. on Orange (Orange support fast dormancy too). I get great signal and transmission speeds on H/3G and as said previously, excellent battery life. It's a win,win modem for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I'll have to investigate that...I'm not experiencing any problems of any kind, but I did encounter quite a few posts suggesting some modem versions are more energy efficient than others, but I'm still wondering if that's because of network signal strenght or compatablity problems or both.

I do have one particular spot at home where my signal tends to drop a lot, but that can also be just a signal dead-spot or interference area.

I'll dive into it when I get the time.....thanx!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
Here's a screengrab showing battery usage with 7% left. Screen on time = 4 hours. Remember 2000mAh battery. Notice the last 40% of the graph is when I switched to SuperSU - see how the awake's perfectly reflect the screen on times better than before on Superuser.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
The only thing that you changed was SuperSU?

Seems really strange.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
Yep, only thing changed. Seriously, all you guys still on Superuser, give SuperSU a try for a day or two. You can allways go back if it doesn't work for you.

Just follow @Johnbeetee's steps posted in last couple of pages.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
Wouldn't it have a correlation with the rom you guys are using? I'm using stock xwlpg and I'm having no problems with default superuser.

Are you using aosp aokp roms?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maciekbe:
Anyway I don't think that empty app list is a bug.

I'm not using Superuser app at all now. I was on my previous Ace.

I'm not measuring modem signals, but after some tryes, I like NELP3. I feel XXLQ5 is close. It is newer so it's attractive to me. I cannot decide myself :) I'm keeping an eye on what others say.

By the way, on NELP3, the signal level is reported as positive value, what is wrong, but no influence on connection.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I had 'buggy' performance and strange behaviour on both AOKP and Stock, but I'm also a bit puzzeled why it doesn't affect all users, but that might have something to do with individual setups and app collection. I am concvinced it not a single app causing the problems, but maybe a certain combination, but also this might be very diverse.

I know for sure it all revolves around the superuser su binary, which when using superSU, is replaced by a a different version, and ...problem gone...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Many40:
I've been on stock rom XXLPW and I am on UHLPM now. I am not experiencing any problems with default kernel's superuser 3.0.7/su binary 3.0.3.2. Only problem I had before was after flashing new Siyah 3.3.3 while superuser/su was already updated to the newest version - it was freeze after boot (probably linked with BBS issue). I checked for some hours superSU but had no difference for. Now after reading very impressive battery saving results from carlo67 maybe I will give a longer try for SuperSU again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:
Guys, if your not running Resurection Remix as one of your Rom's, your seriously missing out! I am a recent convert from Sammy based Rom's (Wanam / Checkrom etc) but this Rom is rock stable, fast, very customizable and has finally given me the phone I have spent 12 months tweaking, flashing and fiddling to get.

Yes I was sceptical at first about AOKP, but I knew as soon as I started swiping homescreens after flashing RR that this was THE best ICS Rom for the S2. It's just soooooo polished.

Give it a go for a few days (let it settle). Like me, you'll not go back. In fact I no longer dual boot into another Rom because this is so good. I'm back 2 being a 1 Rom guy.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
That shouldn't be a problem at all ; the only solid advise I can give you, is download superSU from the market and use it instead of the built-in superuser (don;t know if you have been following this thread and the DEV thread, but it does make difference....)

No it's enough to install supersu and then after opening it just confirm update binary.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertobsc:
I would recommend you to reinstall siyah doing a little cleaning before.

Execute cleaning kernel script, then reinstall siyah. That will probably solve any issues.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Well well what do you know, it actually works (well maybe partially but still its a

win at least for me & I'll take them anyway I get them) but still I'll have to test some more just to be sure because networkstats is funny that way. I used ki4 an old reliable GB modem & though the wakelock didn't go away completely but the intensity & duration of it did reduce based on one night's testing. Where I would have consistent wakeups after a fixed duration now it more spaced out albeit the wakelock is held for a a little longer duration. Only issue is that I'm getting RIL crashes. Will have to test differ modems now. Thanks for the tip.

Well different people get different mileage with different modems. Modems maybe be energy efficient because they may help you get a stronger signal in place where you used to get a weaker signal, tgey may have something in it that's works very well with your provider so that would be improved compatibility or something else. It's all based on location, network providers & other factors which I'm sure you're aware of but there do seem to be a handful of modems that are good across the world, one of them being XXLPS.

Thanks. I'm on CM9. I'm ocd about wakelocks so I hunt them down ferociously & eliminate them. I disable receivers for app that cause wakelocks, never use horribly coded apps, keep sync intervals every 6 hrs during the day, switch of wifi & data when not needed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Guess what ? It was back with a vengeance late last night ! :-) Over 4 hrs with the phone sitting beside me doing nothing, I checked it & deep sleep was only 65% for those couple of hours. A reboot fixed that, it was fine overnight & so far today, but unfortunately I'm not sure this is a definite fix now.

I knew it was too good to be true ;-) But I really do think it's something RIL related on the CM9 side.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I know what you mean....like I stated, i'm not really experiencing any particular problem right now....and there are so many different versions out there, and so little info/specs to go on....

I think i'm gonna save this part for last, when I get the feeling I can't push the limits of battery efficiency any futher.....

Right now I've ditched my Hydrogen rom, and started looking into resurrection remix...to early to tell yet, but looks promising...

( Actually i'm on XXLPS modem now, after flashing RR remix, .....so in a weird way, the choice has been made for me :) )
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #illidan:
Curses!!

Seeing how buggy Samsung's RIL is I won't be surprised if in the end it was the culprit. Just another bug to a long list of bugs. It was too good to be true :p

Just cm9 on your phone should give you almost the same results. Try it & report back

RR is a highly bloated rom but it's smooth. Unfortunately we don't have choices in akop.

About superuser: my ROM hasn't the superuser app, it hss a PERMISSIONS app. This app controls SU permissions and other individual permissions needed for the apps (make calls, use gps, ...)

Good to see you trying RR Rom. Just a few tips for you.........

1. I have outstanding battery life on version 2.5.1 but latest version is 2.6 which some people say drains more battery. Your choice.

2. Try NELP3 modem. Great signals/performance and good on battery.

3. Give it at least 3 days/2 charge cycles to settle before judging it.

4. Disable touchwiz and use Apex launcher only.

5. Change the kernel to Siyah 3.3.3d ;)

As an example, from my last 100% charge after 14 hours my battery has dropped to 95% with wifi/data on all the time (1 or the other).

Good luck, hope you love RR as much as I do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I'm loving it :highfive: already...has a lot in common with my prior Hydrogen rom, only more evolved!

I was hesitating between 2.5.1 and 2.6 ; downloaded 2.5.1 first, but then I thought (despite of the what I also read about possible drainage) I'll give 2.6 a try first, then I saw siyah 3.4 and was on a roll already :D, so I gave that one a shot also....

first night (8hr) it only dropped 1%, but I must say that was without my complete setup and apps. So now I got it all set and running and ....let the games begin.....!

This one came packed with the XXLPS modem, so I'll be giving that a try too in the process (seems to be one of people's favorites...)

Thanks for the tips, will surely keep those in mind, and if this combo doesn't live up to the expectations, I can always make the switch to your setup. Will keep you posted...:good:

I have wiped cache and dalvik on stock 4.0.3 rom and Siyah 3.4 with no issues if that makes you feel better but on stock it seems that some people can and some can't! Also, running 3.4 and SuperSU instead of Superuser seems to be working very well together and for me and seems to have resulted in a more consistent battery drain across recharges but might be a placebo. For anyone wanting to try I have no issues with this combo and thanks to GM for another great kernel. Looking forward to 4.0.4 sources!

Also, I saw this on the dev thread:

Does anyone know if these merges affect battery life? I think (could be mistaken) Siyah mentioned they hardly do anything but that he merges anyway because some people ask for it? Can anyone confirm? Thank you! Ps. no battery problems for me on 3.4!

You are not holding the home button to long are you? If yes that's the cause of the problem.

Can't see that as kernel related. It works in the core of system, not in behaviors like that...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbeetee:
I have been observing the battery usage of 3.4 (as I do with all versions), and still to early to give a difinitive judgement, but all seems OK.

The difference I would call noticable, falls within the margin of measuring error (5%), so for now it's safe to say there's almost no difference between 3.3.3.d and 3.4.

Also had a glance at GM's github and see which updates were made (quite some, I might add), but none of which would indicate more battery use.

Only interesting parts (to me..) was that there are a few very minor updates to wifi/network handling parts to solve some very rare problems that might occur in very extreme situations ; probably none of which you would encounter during normal use.

So only in case that you might be experiencing some rare behaviour in that department (lockups on data connections/wifi data streams) would it be interesting to try 3.4, and see it helps (might, or might not)..
