i have a gsm nexus using wifi most of the time, i think only 1 hour of the day using 3g, full bars most of time. i just can get about 2 hours of screen on if i am lucky. right now i am with 59% charge and 1h12m of screen on. i dont understand how people can achieve 5hrs of screen on time. i tried a week with full stock settings but with no luck, now i am using stock 4.2.2 and lean kernel 6.0 stable. last weekend i was at a place that dont have any signal, i turned on airplane mode and started playing army of darkness, i achieved 3hrs. how can i increase this time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] standa75:
It is also about how you use your phone, ie when gaming your screen on time will be decreased , because of cpu/gpu usage. I think those 5 hours on screen times are for people using phone maximally for browsing web, or reading xda on Wi-Fi:)

I noticed when auto sync is off that battery drain is improved a lot. I did test with sync off, used just GPS and navigation app, so I then easily reached over 4 hours of screen on time.

[General Questions and Answers] Cybcom:
Hello everyone, I'm new here on the XDA forums and I need help recovering my HTC One X

I tried installing CM9 on the phone, only to be stuck at the boot screen indefinetly, (I made sure that I followed the instructions correctly too) eventually I gave up, and decided to restore a backup I made through clockwork recovery mod. Now my phone gets to the htc one logo screen, then just hangs there, I have read around the web and tried relocking the phone then flashing a stock RUU, but I get an "error 140 wrong updater" message or something like that, so I guess I don't ahve the correct RUU for my phone. I also tried "fastboot erase cache" which didn't help either. As of now, it seems my phone cant even boot to the logo screen, and just boots directly into bootloader, but I can't access recovery anymore. So, is my phone premanetly screwed? or is there still a way? I don't know too much about homebrewing phones so any help would be greatly appreciated.

just got off the phone with someone and they claimed it was pretty bad on their end....

That's what i was hoping but they said it was echoing pretty bad.

I'm gonna run the wipe cache script and see if that helps at all, unless there is some other way of fixing this issue that i'm not aware of

If you're updating via Kies, nothing is wiped except the shortcuts on your homescreen(s). But you can back up your pictures/videos/music in Kies if you're the cautious type.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dragonfire665:
A few issues that i found within ICS are the following:

When doing anything, the phone keeps asking for pin password, even after i already logged in. And by anything i mean, looking at profile, going to the market, just anything, it randomly will ask for pin.

When i got to Phone, i do not like how it looks now. It only shows the following, log, keypad, and favorite. To see contact i have to open menu and i get this massive contact view, which i do not like.

I am still testing the rest.

Looks like a "watered" down version of ICS.

Maybe its just me, but coming from a Nexus S, this version of ICS seems to be missing quite a few things. In fact, when I upgraded GB to ICS on my Nexus S, everything changed, and I do mean everything. Seems like ICS here on my SGS2 still uses stuff from GB. Here are my list of my minor rants;

Notification Bar: Nexus S=Signal and WiFi Bars display blue. SGS2= Displays Grey

Dialer: Nexus S completely redone. SGS2 still uses the same dialer as GB

Photo Gallery: Nexus S has a beautiful mosaic type tile thumbnail display. SGS2 still uses the same old boring GB photo gallery.

Unlock Screen: Nexus S completely redone, SGS2 still uses the same lock screen as GB.

Icons (flicking): Nexus S has a fade in/out effect when flicking through apps, SGS2 still uses the same style rendering as GB.

Im sure there is more that I haven't covered yet. My philosophy is if your gonna put out a new OS, why not make it 100% different? I haven't tried out the Wifi calling yet, but I heard there is a delay. Other than that, it seems to be faster.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oryan_dunn:
I'm curious, after the ICS update, is there an option in the Mobile Network settings called "Enable Always-On Mobile Data"?

I don't have this phone, rather the Amaze, which lost that option after the ICS update. I'm wondering if it's there on this phone after it's ICS update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
There is no option like that. Mobile data is either always on, or always off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Streetman:
I just got an OTA notice from T-Mobile that an update is available. Had to postpone due to battery, so I'm not sure if this is ICS or not. I choose "1 Hour" and then I was told I could manually update through the phone settings.

What else could it be, seeing that I'm already running 2.3.6?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oryan_dunn:
Thanks for the reply. Do you know if that option was there in GB and removed, or did the SGSII never have it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] picachux:

So far I have Lookout and TelNav disabled. It wont let me disable the T-Mobile Mobilelife contacts crap though.

Does anyone have issues adding their Yahoo IM account to the Samsung IM app? For the life of me, I can't figure out why it's not doing it. It says to check the username and password, and they're entered perfectly, and there's also a little popup that says "Connection error" even though my phone is connected fine.

Someone want to try and see if they have any issues?

I would definitely try a reset. Make sure to only tick the box at the bottom if you have all of your pics/music etc. backed up. It is only for your USB (internal) storage, so if you do choose to tick that box, it still doesn't touch your sd card (external) storage.

Pretty good for just stock ICS

For the last time, you need to make room in the system rom(this is not the internal memory or the external memory)

The s voice thread has all the info you need.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Restoring your music/pictures and such is fine, I just wouldn't restore any data. I would also uncheck the "restore from Google account" box at the setup screen, just to be safe. Same goes with apps, download them fresh from the play store instead of restoring them from a backup. Once you go through all this, you should be good to restore anything you want when going to future ICS roms.

I upgraded my unrooted/unmodded phone using kies to ics.

On 2.3.6 my phone was fine. Minor android bugs but ics takes the cake. The way things are grouped and/or removed in the gui is crazy.

Since upgrading, my phone freezes up, locks up and causes apps to force close now. Havent had force closed apps in awhile using gingerbread.

Text and mms messages are slow to send now. Typing is buggy. I have been looking for a way to downgrade back to gingerbread which imo is way more stable.

How do i downgrade to the tmobile official 2.3.6 rom, without rooting or modding my phone and while keeping my data intact?

Thanks.

ICS was a great experience, but like you stated above, my phone started lagging and it wasn't as smooth as Gingerbread. I had tons of force closes, system unresponsive, etc.

With that guide, I flashed Gingerbread back to my phone, unrooted and stock easily.

Also, just back up your phone using Samsung Kies. Or Wondershare MobileGo, that one works great too to back up your entire phone.

We are waiting on custom kernels for that. TDJ just released one in his darkside rom (which is one of the best, if not THE best)

edit: TDJ's kernel does not support OC yet, but will likely in the future.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SupaKid:
That's kind of the thing.....

It seems TDJ is the only one, besides the Infamous Dev and of course the CM9/AOKP Devs, doing anything with ICS, be it Kernel, or ROM.

Master&Slave is willing to cook a ROM, but I hear he's waiting for something.

And I wish some Kernel Devs would appear. I'm hoping for a custom Kernel for AOSP/KP!

I did a proper (darkside) wipe and flashed the recent released ics radio. I can enter the app but it just continually tries to load the news feed to no avail.

It appears I have no data or gps issues outside of this app.

Other than that great build so far, no issues elsewhere.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jlamour4:
Hmm... you can install the apps regularly as you install any other app and it should work. If that doesn't do it, reset all defaults for the original gallery so that you can select the ICS gallery to crop. If all

goes well, you should make it to this screen.

Does anyone know if the lag issues are resolved if you install a different version if Swype?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yes, you need to remove the old swype.apk including the lib files, then push the new swype.apk to system/app. Might be a good idea to document the permissions of the current swype.apk to make sure the new one is the same.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Just do a factory reset from the settings menu. No need to do any firmware changes.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsdamage:
After reading through this thorougly, I decided I'd give a chance and still ask.

So, I Odin flash back to GB, but I miss the ICC features, even though they were minor.

What steps do you guys recommend I'd follow to get a smooth as possible ICS experience because I don't want my phone to lag, become unresponsive as hell, and just overall SUCK like when I first updated through Kies to ICS.

By the way, I want a fully stock, unrooted method please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DarkAdonis:
What you're asking for isn't possible. The stock ROM has issues. The only way to make it as smooth as possible is by making changes that require root access.

Like texting for example. The default Swype app lags horribly. To fix this I had to uninstall it and delete the lib files. Then install Swype beta. Running smooth as butter now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] itsdamage:
thanks for the quick reply.

Well, yeah that's true and understandable.

I've just seen some posts of others saying that a factory reset fix most of those issues and all that.

I updated to ICS when it came out and gave me nothing but issues for the next couple days. Luckily, a guide came out on how to ODIN back to GB, so i did that and regained the speed back on my phone.

But i do want ICS without having to flash custom ROMS.

Wondering if i should try ICS again, but what process would be best to get the best experience out of it, with less of the issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DarkAdonis:
The ROM I'm currently using is 100%	stock, it's just been rooted. He made no other changes. This allowed me to get rid of the bloatware and replace the laggy preinstalled version of Swype. You have to use clockwork mod to flash it though. But I promise you it's worth it. I wanted to stay 100%	stock with no changes but the reality is Samsung really dropped the ball on this update and I'm thankful that devs like the ones here were able to patch it. There is no across the board best way to install the stock ROM without problems. It's literally user to user results. That's how bad of a job Samsung did with this update.
