[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tjbiker031:
Yeah I heard the Telus is way better on battery life. For right now I'm sticking with UCLE2 beta 7 with the Telus radio. I been getting 17 hours average on heavy use and I'm happy with it for the time being. My suggestion if you are going to use the Tmo release, try Telus radio...calibrate battery and set all apps to manual sync, so they are not running trying to sync airpush info.

Edit: almost forgot, try to keep your screen low as you can get it. Auto is a waste of battery
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I get the same as you :) except I don't turn off background data and my screen is 50%-100% all the time o.O
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blatike:
Hey, what battery tweak for the UCLE2 base are you talking about? Tried searching the forum but can't find what you're referring to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
Seriously everyone! It just got released. Give it time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I get that it just released etc. Its just that for me the initial performance and battery life has been worse than every ics build I've flashed. Even when when the bases were initially released like this one. I have no issue staying on evo 7.1. It runs flawlessly. It'd just be nice to join the other users having a great experience with it :D instead I get a broken rom with crap battery life. And before anytime says "its too early let it settle in idiot!"

I flashed back to evolution 7.1 ucle2 earlier. From a full charge on its initial drain I'm at 63%, 11 hours, 2.5 hours of screen on time. Certainly beats the 6 hours and 1.5 hours of screen on time for the tmo release on its initial run don't it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ScreamingSkulls:
Hey I'm all for what works for you but the overall feedback from other users as well as myself running my second battery purge just isn't consistent. Anyways I'm not going to debate what sucks and what doesn't suck. I'm only asking everyone to chill out with the slander on peoples work. I mean Mr X and TDJ are rolling with things but dammmmmm, the overall @ss woopin they are taking is ridiculous.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Oh no!! I hope I'm speaking for others as myself but I in no way blame the devs. I'm flaming T-Mobile for this release not them lol for god sakes these guys are our saviors from a ****ty phone experience. As someone stated before. It'd just be nice for one of these multi billion dollar companies to release a fully working rom for once. Instead of enhancing experience like the devs want they spend it fixing the crap churned out by these companies. I've owned my share of android phones and can't think of one release that went smoothly for everyone as a whole.

i would like to try this as well. i'd love to set one up to swtich wifi when im at home, one to switch the ringer off when at work.. i'll probably get one to see if it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kaishi00:
can't you just use tasker for that, using cell tower signals?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] khaytsus:
You can, but it's rather broad...

NFC ReTag, free app in the market, lets you use ANY NFC tag (writeable or not) to set various parameters on the phone, but more importantly IMO is it can run any Tasker task.

When I get in my car and plug into the AC and put my phone in the holder, there's an NFC tag there. It's seen, Car Home starts, Waze starts, depending on the time of day the screen brightness changes, volume increases etc..

When I get to work I scan a tag on my keyboard and it forces the phone into Work mode (I work close to home and sometimes wind up on the same tower on each, leading to the phone bouncing between profiles).

I also have a sleep tag, but I never use it.. Sleep mode = Plugged in after 10pm and turned face-down, all in Tasker.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luciano.chavez:
I have been thinking about this since I read that the ASUS Tegra 3 based 7" Nexus tablet might be coming out and that Jelly Bean was purported to be coming along with it. What would this mean for the TF300 in terms of it getting Jelly Bean as well? Is this just wishful thinking particularly because it doesn't sound like JB is a major version but a minor version update?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
Its been all but confirmed that the Nexus Tablet will run a Tegra 3, if its the same variant that's used in the TF300 it might help on the custom rom front.Otherwise, hard to say.

Regardless, ASUS has a good track record with OTAs. The TF300 will run JB one way or another.
[Xoom General] Vanpeebles:
I just wanted to share with you my recent issue & solution to the XOOM 2 rebooting issue.

Now to give you an overview of my situation, I purchased the XOOM 2 10.1 UK back in January 2012.

I use it almost every single day. No surprises I was getting random screen freezing followed by reboots every single day. Most days twice!

Now I was hoping that when the update happen back around 2 months ago that it would solve this issue. It never.

In fact my freezing & reboots were happening more frequent.

Basically within 5-10 mins of using the Xoom2 it would reboot.

Some days I just wished I could throw the dam thing through the wall.

I rooted using Dan’s method. The only method. & tried various ways to solve the issue.

NOTHING worked.

In fact, I was convinced that my rooting & installing things that should not be there was making the reboots worse.

So I cleaned up my Xoom 2, went into recovery, wiped cache & cleaned data & rebooted.

This still did not work.

Then I tried task managers, cache cleaners & even paid for that system panel app that logs all apps & usage.

Nothing worked; I was still getting the reboots. Everyday.

So after looking over many Xoom 2 forums & with many issues and complaints about this issue, I was close to selling & getting an iPad.

I was convinced it was hardware.

Then I tried this way:

1.	I rooted.

2.	I installed ADW Launcher & made default.

3.	I installed SetCPU

4.	I installed Titanium Backup

5.	I froze the stock ‘launcher’ – (whatever you do – do not un-install any app, you CANNOT update Xoom if you do)

6.	I changed CPU from ‘hotplugmoto’ to ‘performance’ 1200min 1200max

(I know you might think this uses lots of battery but I found not)

7.	Set up setCPU profile for ‘screen off’ I use ‘on demand / 300 to 600’

Battery over night on this setting did not go down by 1%

8.	Rebooted.

After 4 days of constant use & trying so hard to get the Xoom to freeze & reboot – I can’t.

This method works.

I have surfed using ‘Firefox’ while using ‘Currents’ while using ‘Google+’ while downloading files and steaming music via ‘Google Music’. I have open every single app & been quickly switching between them all trying to over load the system.

Nothing will freeze or reboot my XOOM 2.

What I can get from this is that the Xoom 2 works perfectly.

With the high CPU set, it is so fluid and lag free. It works almost perfectly now. It also means the hardware is absolutely fine.

Maybe with newer firmware updates in the future this will be sorted naturally.

I makes me think something with the high CPU means a bug in the processing won’t make the Xoom freeze & reboot.

Until then this method works for me and I can’t see why it won’t work for you.

If you are having this issue I hope this helps.
[Xoom General] big ach:
I messaged you on the Motorola Forums, but I think they may take it down since they don't like talks about rooting.

But thanks for posting this, I will give it a shot.

When you changed to performance 1200 min/1200 max - I'm guessing you also checked set on boot? right?
[Xoom General] Vanpeebles:
Yes i ticked set on boot. Make sure you have a screen off profile otherwise it will be running at max all the time.

Hope it works for you.
[Xoom General] sobge:
Hi,

I froze some bloat before and uninstalled flash 10.3 cause flash streaming online videos didn't work 4 me (neither 10,3 or 11,x), then installed flash 10.2 and all starts to work ok but still 2 or 3 reboots for week.

Also seems that "memory booster" app helps when some apps starts to freeze and u can finish em and free some mem.

So now i'm trying setcpu and then i will do launcher trick ;)

Thx a lot!
[Xoom General] big ach:
Vanpeebles, Did you switch launchers because you think it will help the reboots? or because of personal preference?

Good luck everybody!

Now i'm not expecting ICS, this is working almost perfect. Let's see setcpu improve.
[Xoom General] Casey Rain:
It does seem that the source of the freezing/reboots is the Motorola Launcher. Since I switched to Go Launcher HD I've definitely seen less freezes.
[Xoom General] Vanpeebles:
Hi

I switched launcher on personal preference but to be fair I have had no freezes now for 5 days

So I'm not messing now if it ain't broke.

The reason is I did this is I read 1 post on another forum that someone changed launcher &, this helped him.

So wether launcher or high cpu I'm not bothered

To finally have a working tablet is such a huge relief!
[Xoom General] big ach:
Thank Vanpeebles,

I did everything you said and now hoping for the best!

Either way, I'm loving ADWLauncher Ex..... sooo fast and snappy!

[Xoom General] lucasarran:
Thanks my Xoom 2 is running great again! :)

Also add this warning. Do NOT remove the Launcher2 app if you do then your Xoom 2 will never boot again and the is no current way to fix this because of the locked bootloader. :)
[Xoom General] big ach:
That's my question, why do you even need to freeze the stock launcher if you've set adwlauncher as the default.. like what's the point of that step of freezing the stock launcher, it shouldn't impact performance.

Sent from my Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 with Verizon 4G LTE
[Xoom General] lucasarran:
No he is right, because the stock launcher takes a big bite out of your RAM around 100MB. And even if you do have another launcher running that stock launcher always seems to be in the background on my tablet. :)
[Xoom General] big ach:
Yeah but won't freezing the launcher (or changing its name to launcher2.apk.bak) cause problems if your tablet faces a failure and the adwlauncher crashes?

EDIT: I guess titanium backup unfreezes apps if you do a wipe so the best option is to freeze the stock launcher (NOT uninstall it and NOT rename it)

Sent from my Motorola Droid Xyboard 10.1 with Verizon 4G LTE
[Xoom General] Vanpeebles:
Over 1 week now and not 1 reboot.

I can't answer these questions on the launcher?

All I know is this works for me, I have had not 1 freeze or reboot, so the stock launcher can stay frozen.

(it may have absolutely nothing to do with it, but I really don't care)
[Xoom General] sobge:
Hi after several days over GO Laucher EX (or HD "Tablet version but less customizable") with Setcpu 1200 1200 performance and etc....

only 1 reboot when several web pages were opened on stock browser with flash videos etc.

I've noticed that now when apps stops to work it goes back to home instead of reboot except that time.

Almost no free ram and that's seems to be the clue..Stock launcher doesn´t free enought memory

And battery drains suddenly stopped.

Super happy man ;). More fluid launcher, more customizable, and also wifi starts to work better when comes back from sleeping

Thanks for not to give up!
[Xoom General] big ach:
Have to say... this solution seems to be working very well. I'm running set CPU in conjunction with auto memory manager set to "aggressive" and AdwLauncher Ex!

Using many apps that in the past would give me reboots, but now they are working flawlessly.

Thank you very much for this awesome contribution!

[Xoom General] Neolo:
I'm Xoom 1 user and also having annoying reboots you described here. Most of all it happens when watching movies or iptv in player.

But isn't setting cpu frequency to 1200min will force cpu run at 1200 not less all the time? It probably may overheat the cpu and sounds dangerous. :eek:
[Xoom General] big ach:
When its in use yes, but you also set a second profile to turn down the cpu to a lower value when the screen turns off so you don't drain battery and cause overheating!

So far - I'm running this method without any problems, no noticeable battery drain or extra heat in anyway!
[Xoom General] Neolo:
I'm currently running on stock kernel without ability to scale over 1000. Tried to set to performance governor only, but failed and got regular reboot during usage. Will try your method.

Seems to be it's operating system problem. Don't understand why motorola still didn't resolved it, including that fact that problem also present in first Xoom model. :mad:
[Xoom General] matticala:
Worked a bit around with your solutions and stabled on the following:

Stock launcher frozen;

SetCPU profiles:

Screen ON/unlocked: Governor OnDemand (1200-800) with Noop Scheduler

Screen OFF: Governor standard hotplug (800-300) with noop scheduler

It looks like moto_hotplug governor doesn't work quite well but I also noticed some glitches on systemui.apk. Whenever you turn your screen on and unlock doesn't show smooth you must turn off screen and try again... if you unlock with a laggy unlocker the whole system will be a mess.

With those setting I'm not having reboots, just some lags here and there; battey, however, lasts much less due to ondemand governor.
[Xoom General] Vanpeebles:
Cool ill give it a go!
[Xoom General] hiconlabs:
confirmed

I can confirm that the following made my xoom 2 almost stop randomly freezing and rebooting:

Root

Install awd launcher

Freeze stock launcher2 app

Freeze alot of bloatware.

I'd like to add that i noticed stock gallery app being involved in some strange freezes after these steps above so i froze it and installed quickpic that hasnt frozen once since.

As a side note. I compared the xoom 2 with first model samsung galaxy 10.1 and i can't believe how fast and fluid is honeycomb on the samsung :( Why the hell is xoom 2 so sluggish and strange? I mean benchmarks are good, for instance internal storage speed is greatly superior to most tablets, the screen is really sharp, i hear the graphic chip is not bad either, battery life is ok and so on BUT it feels wrong when it comes to honeycomb... it,s not smoth. Strange tablet, i kind of regret buying.
[Xoom General] nikolasr200:
Hi guys, may i ask regarding the freeze issue.. I m new xoom 2 user, and i ve noticed quite few freezes either requiring reboot or just some time to wait.. Is this regarded as normal for some reason or should i worry? I ve noticed them mainly while surfing on the net..

Yes a lot of people have stated this problem (including myself) especially while using the browser!

Its fixed in ICS though! No reboots!
[Xoom General] tutabeier:
Guys, I'm considering buying the Xoom 2 ME (Xyboard). I want a tablet larger than 7" and under 10", and the settings of the Xoom 2 ME are perfect for me.

However, as this thread shows, many users are having problems with freezes and reboots.

Motorola has not released the ICS to Brazil and, apparently, has no release date yet.

I wonder if it's worth it to live with the problems of the Xoom 2 ME until Motorola releases the ICS? The ICS really solves the problems of freeze and reboot?
[Xoom General] mdcykkk9:
I personally love the form factor of media edition and with ics the performance is very good, most of the problems of honeycomb sorted out.
[Xoom General] tutabeier:
And you think worth to live with the problemas of HC for a few months until ICS arrive? Motorola-Brazil has no release date yet..
[Xoom General] mdcykkk9:
Xoom2 is a good tablet. If the price is good ( little cheaper than nexus 7 16gb version) then i would say is a good option for what you're looking. Ics can't be far away. All the rest in the world have received... If you trust Motorola(personally i don't) and have a good after sale support in brasil then go for it...

Xoom Constant Reboot problem

Guys,

for thoses that have the reboot problem, i have found a solution. As many of you noticed when the device is cooled the problem go away. It is not a quick fix but only takes 1/2 hour and removing 2 screws. I wish Motorola wouls assume reponsability and fix the issue. The heat spreader over the cpu is inadequate/ too small, I have made a small change using alluminum foil paper that i folded until it is about 1/8" thick and 1.5x1.5" square to touch the back plate and heat spreader of cpu. i applied some cpu thermal paste on the top of the heat spreader and place the foil paper over it. securing the alluminum foil with clear tape on side.

My reboot has gone away. I can finally use the tablet. some of you that do not see the problem might be due to the fact that the heat spreader is making a better connection to cpu. I have improved this by ensuring that it touches the back back/ bottom plate of the xoom to dissipate maxixum energy

Not pretty but it works. none of what the other guys are saying about the laucher make sense. if the problem was software it would go away after reinstalling the OS, which it does not not. The problem is hardware. The Heat spread must came off the cpu overtime causing the cpu to overheat after about 10/15 minutes of use. It is random because it depends of what you do at the time on tablet and ambient temperature in your room. The laucher could aggravated the problem my making the cpu work harder but the root cause is the heat spreader not the launcher.
