Btw, has anyone had tremendous increase in battery life using the after market extended battery?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grassyloki:
Use fox star rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yoft1:
If you are talking about extended batteries that don't require a custom enlarged back cover, you will not get the battery increase that you are looking for, not even close. I cannot speak for the heavy duty ones that require an enlarged back as I do not own one

Gideon's scripts are great with Juggs. Underclock it as well like 384-1080 is a great setting. Also let die all the way down and charge all the way up and repeat for a few cycles. And don't stare at your phone every few seconds either lol! Another thing are the notification lighting buttons at the bottom. Drop to 1.5 seconds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Goofy317:
I have the extended 3800mah battery. It's insanely fat and makes the phone look hideous. On top of that I really don't feel like the battery lasts all that long at all. It's in my pocket all day at school and by 3:30 I'm at 35%. This thing cost me 65$. Total ripoff. I'd suggest spending 20$ and buying two more regular batteries. See what that does for you all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobpantsspongesquare:
A few things you can do on ANY ROM to improve battery life.

*) Decrease screen timeout to the lowest possible setting.

*) Adjust screen brightness to the lowest level you can tolerate.

*) Decrease the backlight key timeout to the lowest setting ( or off if you have the option )

*) Be sure to only have wifi and gps on if you are using them.

Those will help quite a bit in general however, a ROM like Juggs is meant to really take advantage of the power of your device so its probably wise to move to a different one if max battery is your goal. I love Juggs but had to move on to the AOSP stuff. Also, heed the advice above, allow the ROM a few days to "settle" before making a switch or even a judgement of its performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DroidNo0b:
Thanks for the replies guys. So my phone lasted for 9hrs today which is a little bit of improvement. I was streaming netflix for half an hr on the train on the way back home so that may have drained the battery. I have just installed JD, will post back how it goes tomorrow.

So the extended battery is a no go eh. I really don't want to lug around a few extra batteries. I want to carry as little as possible. I normally carry my phone and my ipad but now I tend to not use the ipad much now because the S2 screen is pretty gigantic for a phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tablador:
I know the point was already made but just to reiterate, you can get 2 Anker extended batteries (same size as regular battery) and a universal charger for like $20. This will leave you with three batteries. One for the charger, one for the pocket, and one for the phone. With this system its pretty easy to always have one full battery ready to go and one charging. The battery is small and can just go in your pocket, or maybe even in your wallet depending on your preferences. It solves the problem completely. I don't think you are going to do much better because if you are a heavy user then your battery is going to be used because your phone isn't going to be sleeping.

Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DroidNo0b:
If you read my post above. I'm against the idea lugging around too many things. It's also a hassle to swap the battery and keep them all charged. I may be a heavy user but it's not like I use the phone all the time. I use the phone heavily early in the morning on the way to work and after 5pm on the way home after work. The commute each way is roughly 45 mins. In between the commutes i make a few calls and texts through GV. I don't think i'm that of a really heavy user.

Anyway, it's noon and I'm at 75% with JD on and setCPU to 384-1084mhz which is pretty promising.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Since you changed kernals, you aren't going to benefit from TDJ's battsaver script you can use with the stock 2.7 kernal.

Go lower on the max frequency. Something below 800 mhz. Setting a negative gloval mV doesn't hurt, and if you can get to -62.5, that's great.

Oh, and when using data, try GSM only...

To be honest, the larger problem with battery life is typically the user. There's no real magic on making the phone last longer other than using it less. If you're going to be power using the hell out of it by using 4g for hours streaming media, your battery is going to be ****.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DroidNo0b:
Don't you think it is ironic for me to switch from the iphone to the S2 because I couldn't stand the slow 2g Edge connection then have to lower data speed to GSM (2g) just so I can use the S2 long enough?

I think the S2 is one heck of a device but the OS and Apps are not running very efficiently.

I tried the ICS ROM :DARKSIDE.UCLE2:: x[BETA07.1] in the last 2 days with setCPU at 384-1026Mhz. I have had great battery life. I got home at 12 am yesterday with a 2% battery. Today it's been 7 hrs on battery and my battery is at 70%. I don't know if it is the ROM, setCPU or a combination of the two but I'm pretty happy with the phone right now. ICS is awesome too.

I highly recommend that solution to anyone having a short battery life problem with their S2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
It is a little ironic since you did bring up the comparison. What I was attempting to do was to bring the phone more into spec of an iphone to get similar battery life. You're probably going to even get better runtimes due to the battery having a much larger capacity and better screen technology. All that superior hardware packed in the t989 is going to need more juice to run.

It's great you're getting good runtimes now. From my personal experience, once I drop down to the single digit percentages, it starts lasting a lot longer per percent. If you wanted to squeeze all you can from the device, those 2000mah aftermarket cells might add another 15~30 minutes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spitfire:
I just started using an app called llama, allows you to set conditions and actions (like a task app). I have it kill mobile data when my screen is off. If I'm not connected to wifi and my screen is off, I won't get emails, but I'll still get texts and calls. I play with my phone often enough that a missed email is never an issue.

I'm breaking in a new galaxy nexus battery so I don't have great results to give ya, but it lasted 17:30 with 4:45 screen on time in its first run.

Been following this for a minute, actually. My feelings are pretty much the same as they are for every ambitious Android title... no Xperia Play Controls, no buy.

...so they better be in there :)

Shadowgun was optimized so I don't see any reason for it not to be.

Judging from the history of Madfinger Games, Samurai II and ShadowGun have been both XPLAY optimized. I don't see any reason for them to leave Xperia PLAY like that in their upcoming games namely Deadzone and Dead Trigger. After those huge sales....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] imkentoy:

and yes . . .this year i've plan to get couple of XPERIA PLAY ,is that XPERIA ion ,or if XPERIA Z if interesting :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Ugh... I saw that article. Did it get taken down or something 'cause I can't even find it anymore. At any rate... worst thing that could happen is anyone reads and gets convinced by that aberration... that article is a perfect compilation of all the misconception that's been going on since Xperia Play's launch and all the doom-and-gloom reading that's "merit" credits a jury of oblivious people outnumbering the aware and savvy people who know better than to believe what was said there.

Lack of ICS is and always has been an integrity keeping move to assure we had our software intact. Mass Effect: Infiltrator's lack of Xperia Play Optimization is a disappointment, but at the same time it's controls aren't as easily translatable as other titles like Dead Space. All the talk of the phone being released with below-par specs has been felled time and time again by un-rooted, stock rom Xperia Plays with their *low specs* still delivering silky smooth performance on any benchmark-tier game title that allows silky smooth performance... and trying to support word of under-par specs with Dead Trigger not working on Xperia Play just inserts ignorance into the equation since there are devices

weaker than Xperia Play

running that game perfectly. To treat any of this as if it were cumulative 'nails in the coffin' leading to Xperia Play's death is oblivion, ignorance and trolling as far as I'm concerned.

Even his follow-up comments were oblivious... the first comment of the article sunk him completely and put him on the spot by mentioning that Amazing Spider Man 1.1 was high profile, recent, and a working contribution... and his retort is made in complete ignorance of how easy it is to legitimately buy a game and still be able to share it with a device even if it's wrongly called incompatible by the market checker.

That's the kind of writing I truly do hope people are savvy enough to see through.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] rgrover:
Have to agree with Sufy unfortunately, I wanted this device to succeed as much as everyone else. Bottom line is that the Xperia Play is a minority in the already fragmented Android ecosystem & it's not financially viable for developers to spend the time/money etc that is required to support the device, especially when you consider the amount of Android devices they have to deal with.

Sony released the device with sub par hardware, the 400mb internal storage is ridiculous for a gaming device & virtually caused the device to be a non starter unless you root & use link2sd etc. It's had virtually no advertising or promotional campaigns in the UK (when I show it to people 9/10 didn't even know it existed). I'm not surprised it failed, looking at the facts it was inevitable. Anyone who thinks otherwise is seriously deluded...

Don't try and make us do something for personal benefit. You should tell us this tutorial anyway, if you're even LEGIT. That will net you more thanks and more friendliness among the members of this community but your actions are just going to bring disbelief to other people and more hostilities. So if you actually know, tell us and everyone will be very VERY grateful. Don't try to do something like that for personal benefit, but for the benefit of the community. Thank you.

1 good news, we can enjoy dead trigger

1 bad news, no xperia play optimized

i can confirm this method is workin for my xperia play, and im sure it will work on almost every adreno phone, u can also switch to ultra high settings and still playable with no frame drops...

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Exactly. Btw that chainfire 3D thingy do you need root to use it ? cause i'm not rooted and he was saying the game is working on Xperia PLAY but no hardware controls ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] gac3la:
yup, u need to be rooted ! chainfire needs root permision to change some config on ur device.

why dont u root ur phone !? it takes less than 2 minutes using.. " unlock root " ( plug phone, click ROOT button, wait 1 min n u done ) and other 2 minutes for installing chainfire and the fix...

DRevan also mentioned that madfinger is workin on a fix for all adreno users, so if u dont wanna root ur phone u can wait...but we dont know how much time we will have to wait for a fix, and even worse for an optimization for our xperia play..

gac3la
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Works perfect.

I really don't know why they are moaning as runs fine on the play. Its sad that the buttons don't map but the d-pad at least works for moving so at least 1 hand off the screen. Maybe we should now start a revolution until they fix it for play. Its more then possible to run this without issues.

EDIT

Adreno Fix Dead trigger

Will place shaders here just incase something happens to that thread.

Install Dead trigger shaders after installing Chainfire 3D driver, no need for plugins as well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Is there a way to play Dead Trigger for Non rooted users ? :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Not at the moment. You may find someone can make a modded app to fix. But would of thought Madfinger would have it sorted by then. I can at least say it runs just as good on low level graphics as my Xperia S or tab, so when they sort it out the game will play nice. Just need to show support for the play and bug them now to add the controls as well.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Cool. So that means that madfingergames should be able to come up with a official fix for the Xperia PLAY but no touch controls ( which sucks ) but I hope they can implement that as well in the update.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] datswhy:
its finally compatible huh ?

without any issues except it still IAP game..

thx for sharing it and to that guy who make it possible, gonna try it soon..

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
Even if you did download it you wouldn't have been able to play it anyway.

You can still search for it though but it'll come up as incompatible.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Rantanplan1980:
I used Titanium Backup instead and now the game starts and downloads the additional data.

Amazingly the game runs smoother on my xplay than my nexus s. There are some small aspect ratio issues though.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] narflynn619:
okay, so those formerly amazing guys at MFG released the android version somewhat nearer to the iOS release. had they delayed the release a little (like what always happens when a game comes out first for iOS and then android), they could have at least tested it with phones equipped with Adreno 205.. seriously, abandoning a group of phones that use 205? that's like...the bulk of users use on their phones! that's serious income setback for MFG!

i still have my very mad fingers crossed (pun intended) they will release an update that will make us Adreno 205 users and specifically Xperia PLAY users happy..

Yeah, it run smooth, my friend even tested it with the tegra apk n no lag gaming while on ultra high setting, it really have cool effects!.. Really disappointed with the reason they gave for adreno user..

The same. I'm still counting on Iron Monkey studio (EA), hopefully they optimize at least FIFA 13, but NFS MW will be awesome....And guys, I've completed Spidey by Gameloft - it's nice stuff, very nice game, but few glitches like performance or slides in missions (need to close touchpads to save women in first mission for example). Except that - I'm preety excited about that game - hope Batman will be better, with better optimalization etc. We, Play users, are still in the game! :D

In my opinion it will be out at the end of this year......Don't know why, but it can be relased in 2014 or 2018, but with full Xperia support and good graphics and optimalization. But if Iron Monkey working on it so:

-optimalization will be in the best possible level

-graphics will be incredible

-Xperia Play support....ummm....if they relased Mass Effect with touchpad support I will be 100% sure it will get too, but now.....I'm confused :confused:.
