Can you explain more on that please.

I am using Samsung cord but the bear is not in the car, and then after it wont go to DS, not sure if exectly after car use.

When I reboot it works fine again, I am thinking its an app or kernel, it happened before I flashed different kurnel and it worked fine.

Tone of posts about this in Google/XDA where ever. The problem is simple after USB charging it does not go to deep sleep, after wall charging it does.

It does not matter which cable or charger, you can take a stock charger plug it in the car and it will not go to deep sleep, plug it into the wall and it will be fine.

The issue is USB charging and it's inside the kurnel and wakelocks.

That's what everyone in all the threads say.

If you have a solution please share here, much appreciated.

As far as I can tell there is no solution, only workarounds. I had the exact same "no deep sleep" "massive battery drain" issues also and there are a couple ways to remedy it:

1) make sure your screen is ON when you unplug the charging cable

(works most of the time)

2) unplug the cable and reboot the device

(works every time)

#1 works for me every time. My wife has the Note with ICS (same issue) and has to reboot every morning. Problem solved er remedied. My battery lasts forever with this rom, it's amazing.

ICS Bluetooth issues with Galaxy S2 with Car HandFreeLink

ICS Bluetooth issues with Galaxy S2 with Car HandFreeLink

1) When I start my car, the phone does not connect to my cars bluetooth connection correctly. The bluetooth connection shows to my cars shows up as "HandsFreeLink". When I click on it I see two connections "Phone" (for Phone calls) and "Media" (playing music). See the attached screen shot for the state of bluetooth few minutes after I start my car. As you can see "Media" works fine. However "Phone" does not automatically connect. I need to go to settings and "check" it and then phone works fine. Here is what I need to do

- Go to settings

- Go to Bluetooth

- Click on "HandsFreeLink"

- Check "Phone"

2) The car does not display Track information (name, singer and album) with this ROM

Note:

1) Both these work well in GingerBread ROM. Connection is great and automatic. Track information (name, singer and album) display fine. The issue exists only with ICS ROMS.

2) I do not see any connection drops. Once I connect, it stays connected till I off my car. When I start my car again "Media" connects automatically but "Phone" needs to be connected manually like I described before.

Edit: I request folks with Bluetooth connection to car try this test

1) Setup HandFreeLink connection from phone to car

2) Make sure everything is working correctly

3) Play Music. For me Track Info (Track Name, Album, Singer) does not display. This used to work for GB ROM.

4) Shutdown the car, remove the keys

5) Start the car. Wait for free minutes. In My car I see that car connects to Phone and then connection gets dropped and connects again. IN GB ROM there was no drop.

6) In the end connection becomes stable, but when I go to handsfreelink "Phone" is not connected but Media is connected. Songs may fine via bluetooth but Phone must be connected manuallly.

Possible Solution to Poor Battery Performance/CPU oddities

Jrock, first thanks for providing this info initially in the UCLE2 thread and constantly referencing it to those in need. You're 100% in-the-right for asking the users to simply search for your previous post. It's the XDA way, and anyone who thinks you should search for your own post to then share it with them is out of touch with reality.

CCCP, hopefully my input helps you refine your search procedures. The answers are readily available for you to access.

In the SkyICS UCLE2 thread....

​

If you searched for "battery charger stock" you would've received 5 total results, 1 of which was exactly what you're looking for.

If you searched for "deep sleep stock charger" you would've received 2 total results. One result is exactly what you're looking for. The other result would've easily pointed you in the right direction.

If you searched for "charger plug deep sleep" you would've received 4 total results, all of which directly answer your question.

Please notice these simple search queries were formed using words taken from your own posts. Just try to be creative and plug a few different options into the XDA search box. It's even easier when you know who the poster was (Jrockttu), which you did.

Below is Jrock's original post for your review. I hope this helps answer your question. It can also be located here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=26733386

Wow every one is so smart, thank you.

his original post was go to SkyIce 17 and look for battery and chargers posts, try typing that you get 10+ pages of the same comment. How would I know what to search for and where in the first place? He also said he posted a link, well if you posted it you probably have it, so no one asked he to do the searching for me, all I asked if he has a link just post it here, (as you may notice this is a different thread)

I've spend 2 hours reeding on this, so don;t give me the bs on that I should search, I do. But when someone asks a simple favour and you have time to write a 500 word answer and the other guy has time to post 20+ times where to search, I think you had time to simply post the link he already had.

And please I asked the question, all you two wrote is not the place, PM me next time.

And I am not fighting with anyone, simply answering your opinion with my.

Thanks, anyway, I it is helpfully reply.

That's new.

First use Rogers Official Kernel, it's a good one.

Then if that does not work try re-flashing everything

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

Thanks, and I am not lazy and I did read. And the problem you talk about and all the links you posted talk about is with Stock Charger vs non stoke. I said I am using Stoke charger so this does not apply.

All it is is USB Charge vs Wall Charge and it's Kernel problem, actully the simple fix is having the Screen on when unplugging.

Don't call people names if you are too lazy to read what they are asking.

P.S. you have to say something PM, this is not the place.

I haven't had this issue yet, but I think I know why now. I use NoLED, and when the battery tops off, the screen turns on w/ a notification, and then I unplug the phone. Perhaps this can be a workaround for some... and if people don't like the notifications, just toggle off the notifications for all the apps.

I have a CRV. I always delete the connection before adding a new one. Also there is no way to add Phone and media separately. You just connect phone to the car and it creates both connections. What's driving me crazy is that this works great with GB ROM and iPhone I have. The problem exists only with ICS ROM.

If you go to Advanced Search you can refine your search by the user who posted it. I gave you the user and the search terms to use, along with the thread to search.

I wouldn't have had to post "Search for my post..." 20 times if the 20 people who asked the question had searched or read the thread first.

I don't keep the links in my posts available to me. They're only available to me by searching for my posts (which is what I suggested you do).

I don't give links most of the time because I've already done the legwork for you and I'm usually on my phone or at work and a quick nudge in the right direction is all I have time for. That should be plenty.

EDIT: and because I don't want this post to be entirely off topic (contrary to what you may think, I HATE contributing to the slop), I'll mention that I disabled Smart Stay altogether and notice an increase in battery life. It's the only change to the system I made since yesterday and my battery was better (not that it was bad). Without Smart Stay showing up in the Battery info, it's hard to quantify how much battery it uses turning on the front camera to look for your eyes. Apparently, it's a decent amount.

I'll also add that with Sky ICS, I leave BT, Wifi, and Auto-brightness ALWAYS on, even though I don't use them at all while I'm at work. Sean's so damned good with his ROMs that I can leave that stuff on and not worry about it.

I'm probably one of the few people who uses jd and gets benefit out of it.

I set it to disable wifi when I leave home, to periodically enable data on weekdays (I'm at work in front of a PC, don't really need the phone constantly checking and wasting battery life), and a few other things and it saves me battery power compared to not using it.

I agree though if you just blindly enable it, it's more of a nuisance than anything else.

Battery Drain Solved 4G Questions

Hey, I was having the same problem because my battery life would suck compared to the scrrenshots the fellow Ice Cream munchers would post, I thought it was an app issue; I thought I had narrowed it down to my harmony link app and i TiBu Froze it and it improved a little bit, but I was still getting 8 hours tops. I thought It was because I am a heavy heavy heavy user, I use slingplayer, I text alot, talk alot, use whatsapp, GoogleVoice, Talkatone (You get the point) Then a few days ago Datron addresed this issue and he gave us a few pointers on what we should do, he suggested we wipe the battery stats and do a battery pull for a few minutes. So, I used our trusty friend google and I found this webpage: http://lifehacker.com/5786717/get-better-battery-life-on-your-rooted-android-phone-by-wiping-its-battery-stats

I have not changed my usage habits and I swear to GOD I could not believe my results, I thought It was a fluke (maybe I had not used my phone as much) But no: My battery is literally lasting me 24 Hours. It happened monday AND today. No I am not running Juice defender or any of that stuff that only uses data when you wake the phone. I am running SKY ICS 4.2F R2 (ATT)(MODDED UXCLF3 KERNEL) (STOCK EMAIL) UXCLF3 Radio. I did delete smart stay (For some reason not only would it FC, it also didnt work, I would be reading articles and it would shut down, even after removing the beta and using the lite version)

I will post screenshots if necessary of my battery stats.

Via TiBu i deleted widgets that I didnt use and apps that I didnt usebesides that it's all stock. I just wanted to thank all the hard work that is done here.

I do have a question though: Last week I was in a Non LTE area (the whole week) and my phone's battery would decrease dramatically, surprisingly it would drain less battery with wi-fi always on, I went to *#2263# but didnt see the LTE off as an option. (And even though i was in a non LTE Non 4G area my Icon still showed the 4G icon)

So to summarize this part

1) Can I turn off 4G/LTE? so that my phone doesnt search for that service? I may be wrong, but when this happens does it drain battery faster than in wi-fi? (It kind of makes no sense to me, but oh well, figures i would ask the experts)

2) Why does my phone's icon say 4G when in 3G? But in certain dead spots it Will show EDGE coverage

Thank you all, thank you Seanz

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jrockttu:
That's not a ROM problem, it's gotta be something else. Look for info posted by me in this thread regarding battery and charger (please search it!). This will help you rule out if your charger is contributing to the problem by not letting your phone sleep. In my experience, this causes 10% battery drain per hour while idle, compared to the normal for Sean's Sky ICS, which is around 1% per hour idle.

After that, try to take screen shots of your battery screen and we'll try to help you find your problem.

Oh yeah, also make sure that your CPU governor is using "on demand" instead of "performance". If you don't know what this means, google it and look for an app that can change it like ROM toolbox pro or cpu spy.
