Gotcha. This is a common practice to save battery life. I use it all the time. SeanZ includes the quick toggle in his roms. U should have it if you flashed the update properly.

First you need to find the quick toggle. Press the very top of your screen for half a second, then drag down.

Then you need to disable data. Just press the data toggle to disable it. If it's blue, it's turned on (like mine in the attached pic).

Did this help? Hit thanks or provide further info. Cheers.

Thatust turns off data. I think what he wants is to turn off LTE and switch to HSPA+ to save power(like the old iPhone days where you could turn of 3G to save power)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Skyrocket2Paradise:
that turns on everything he just wants hspa and not lte..

Go to settings->

under wireless and network click more->

mobile networks->

access point names->

add new apn->

just create an exact copy of your current apn except under bearer i think select hspa only it might be a different setting im not sure but youll find it.

EDIT: just select that hspa apn whenever you want just hspa

Battery life blues

So, I've started over, wiping and superdarking, etc., getting to a clean 4.2fR3v6A with the UCLE2 radio and kernel (since no one answered my question about whether having the kernal that matches the radio is preferable *ahem*), and here's the life I've got. A little over 1 hour of talk time, and a little over an hour and a quarter of screen time.

I know the battery needs a couple of cycles. I've taken a fully charged down to zero twice now.

I'm pretty sure that there aren't any really nasty apps sucking power, other than Exchange which I can throttle back a bit, but this is pretty discouraging. I'm in a non-LTE area, and was experimenting with the different APNs and radios, with no satisfaction.

I'm not looking for answers to this question, because I think there aren't any questions I can ask. I'm merely posting my real-world results. I'll keep it up over a few cycles and see, but damn, this is disappointing. I was doing great on 4.2E, but I'd rather not go backward. Anyone share that experience? Or am I an anomaly on this?

I'm in Portland, OR, for network coverage issues...

EDIT - I should add, I've run CPU Spy, and I'm going into Deep Sleep as expected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
no, matching kernel with radio doesn't matter. That is horrible battery life. I use the modded rogers kernel and Rogers radio. Gives me the best signal and battery life. I'm on att, btw.

I'm waiting to see if Google announced 5.0 around October/November and releases the multiple manufacturer Nexus program that's been rumored. I'd love to see an assortment of Nexus devices. Hopefully one has a big ass screen like the Note. If not, it may be Note 2 for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
What are those apps that are showing in the upper left corner of your screen? If one of them happens to be a weather app it would be highest on my list as the most likely culprit. And widgets that automatically sync can really suck it dry very quickly also.

You may want to try badass battery monitor to break down and see what's really eating the battery on your device. It will tell you exactly what % that every app and widget is using.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] spiderman905:
Yeah thanks for the help guys, I rely on apps like what'sapp a lot so I need my data on just not on lte.

Yeah it doesn't really let me change the apn.there is only one option. Att/pta. I was able to turn off lte thru setting on the old Roger modem, but reception was terrible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kevinl86:
He's right, that is god awful battery life. You may want to consider replacing your battery alltogether. Go for the higher cap battery and call it an upgrade replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Another thing I wanted to mention, I also live in a non LTE area and I have never had the need to disable anything. I do live in HSPA (fauxG) area with a stable signal. I leave wifi on all of the time, even when there is no hotspot available, and I often get 24+ hours on a charge. If your SR is in fact going into deep sleep as it should, I would leave the governor and profile set as is in your OC'ing app as I do not think that is the problem.

Also, I am using the stock kernel that installed with the current AT&T Goomail base along with the RUXLF3 (official Rogers release) radio. Using stock APN that came with base as well.

I think badass battery monitor will reveal the true culprit.

I did a search for volume, but couldn't find the answer. Is there a way to link the ringer and notification volume with this ROM? AOKP allows you to do it and I like having the two linked.

Also, does anyone else have lag with the google keyboard?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
No way to link the volumes that I know of at this time.

Keyboard lag has been answered over and over in this thread. Clear keyboard cache and reboot. If you had also searched "keyboard lag" you

would

have found the answer for that one. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EvilEvo:
I searched for the keyboard and found clearing the cache fixes it, but when I go into the manage apps and Android Keyboard, there is no Cache to clear. I cleared data, but it didn't seem to fix the problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
I was quoting from memory, what I had read previously in the thread concerning this problem. I seem to remember there were others that this fix did not work for also. You may want to search a bit deeper to see if and how they resolved the problem.

Personally, I use Thumb Keyboard. It is always the first thing I install after a flash. I do not ever use the stock keyboard for anything more than initial setup and have never had any lag problems with the keyboard that I use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EvilEvo:
I have Swiftkey 3 that I have used before. But I feel like it drains the battery more than the stock keyboard. I'm probably going to ditch the phone for the SGS3 soon anyway, so it isn't that huge of a deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hitekredneck:
Give thumb keyboard a try.You can always get a refund for it if the lag is still present. I use it exclusively across all of my Android devices and do not ever recall it as showing up as an app that is consuming battery.

disable noise cancellation

Hello,

I want to disable noise cancellation permanently via editing a config file (not through the dialer).

I was getting the (found to be common after Google) mic problem when using the phone handset (normal use). People were very annoyed with my outbound call quality. After some research (and flashing several radios), I found that people turned off the noise cancellation to remedy the situation. In our excellent theme, I could find no such setting. The only thing I could figure was to flash back to the stock theme. The stock dialer does offer the option to turn off noise cancellation while connected during the call, and sure enough the problem goes away.

I don't want to have make this adjustment during every call, so, I am hoping someone can tell me a config file and value setting to just kill the 'feature'.

Thanks...David

Previous posters offered excellent advice. In addition, are these stats jacked up? Did you reboot your phone today? That can reset the battery timer. The reason I ask is because that discharge time is the worst I've ever seen by far.

Please don't pressure the dev. It is the best rom ever, likely because you don't need daily updates. If there is something specific you'd like to have, then feel free to post it. Otherwise there's no need to ask for updates, right? If all is well, then we need nothing more.

It never shows any other apps...not phone, wifi, xda, chrome, or any other apps I use constantly. Any ideas?

It hasn't really bothered me because I am still getting good battery life, but it's been in the back of my mind for a bit. If I'm right, it only started upon the update to 5 or 6, but I'm not too sure as it was a whirlwind of updates for a while there.

I'm also having an interesting issue. It's been like that with a couple of seanscreamz's roms. Everything is fine and good except for the music player. Here's the behaviour:

When I try to listen to a song, the music player shows up as if reading the mp3, but the player stays stuck at 0:00 and doesn't play.

I've tried with the regular music player, the sg3 player that comes with the v6b rom AND with winamp.

When the files are not on the external sd card, it works fine.

But here's the kicker: if I go through my files with a file browser and select a song, it plays fine!

I've reflashed, wiped, fixed permissions... No luck

I've formatted my sdcard... No luck

It worked fine since my last complete Odin reinstall for about 3 weeks but now I'm back to my original issue.
