I haven't used my spare battery yet but my battery life seems to be improving a bit. On Thursday I got around 2 hrs of on screen time which isn't bad, i guess. So I plan on using this battery for a while...:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrdreamers:
YES!! Found ONE!!

Found Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro tho it cost 14.99 at the google store it is well worth it, very fast ;) so for those who are trying to tether i recommend this one :)

Yup. Only AT&T's crippled firmwares are missing it.

Anyone else update to 2-11 and loose all their alarms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dmc874:
Holy crap! Yes I did. I updated this morning and didn't know it yet. Glad you said something or I would have been late tomorrow. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mll4eveR.:
Same here.

Thanks for mentioning this tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Dunno about alarms since I don't use my phone for that but I did notice that Android Beam isn't working. Not only is it not working (tried to send my wife a pic from my gallery and it acted like it went through but she ended up receiving a notification saying that Android Beam was not received) but it's also turning on my bluetooth instead!

This is from the latest nightly, 2/11.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Pretty sure Beam has always turned on Bluetooth for image transfers. I think that's how it works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
No, beam doesn't use BT (it't never turned on my BT before either). It's NFC. One of the few NFC features that actually works on this phone since NFC is heavily crippled on our hardware (DAMN u Samsung!).

Oh well, will flash the latest nightly to see if it's been fixed. I know that 2/11's had an update so I'm wondering if that may have accidentally created the bug. Will test today's latest nightly build and will report back. If that doesn't work I'll have to try a full wipe and reflash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
It first uses NFC to get a connection then uses BT to actually make the transfer. It has ALWAYS done that for me. Just transfered a pic to my wife's s2 and my n10, both ended up using BT, like always
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
Really? Didn't know that. But it's never left my BT on, if that's the case. I have always BT OFF and last night was the first time when using Beam, that the file did NOT transfer and it left BT ON on my phone.

I didn't upgrade my wife's i777 and hers was working fine (she's on build 2/08) and does not trigger BT to stay ON.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jrod091:
Oh, I see what you're saying now, no, it shouldn't leave it on, it should just trigger it on fur the target then turn back off when the transfer is compete, I believe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DefTaker:
No worries, flashed today's nightly and 2/12 seems to have fixed it. :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
Leaving my WiFi on zaps the crap out of my battery. This normal behavior at this stage or is it just mine?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] msgfromside3:
That has been normal behavior of almost anything for last couple of years because it is trying to scan for available wifi (guess what happens then?). I am not sure if it is still true, but you are supposed to be able to tweak the rescan interval from build.prop. I haven't done that for ages and I now turn my wifi off as soon as I get in my car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Yeah you can set your Wi-Fi scan interval to a higher amount to lessen the battery drain, as stated above in your build.prop, or just turn it off when not in use. I normally turn it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
Got ya. Thanks guys
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheDude:
deleted...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Nope. Leaving wifi on = best way to save battery (since it uses far less power to transfer data than the cell connection). The exception is if you have a misbehaving home network that spams your phone and wakes it up all the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
My home network does that, I have crazy wlan rx wakelock times, especially on cm kernel. I dont know what to do about them so I've just accepted it and moved on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slusho:
Why not just use JuiceDefender?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] asderxsdxcv:
Based on my experience juice defender cause more battery than it save.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Because it was only useful in previous versions of android. As stated, it's fairly useless now and uses more battery than it could save.

Someone posted in the I747 thread that with the latest nightly they got HDMI out working. Anybody had success with our phone? I gave it a go, but no luck. What am I missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
It's not the same thing. The I747 has a Qualcomm chip, which is much better documented. Which is why they are getting M and Stable builds as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thracemerin:
I didn't say it wouldn't work, I said it isn't recommended, whether or not it works successfully largely depends on what apps are involved and without knowing with 100% certainty that everything works the safest thing to say is it's not recommended and if you want to do it, know that its at your own risk.

Finally set this phone up the way I want it on JB. Other than some lag here and there I absolutely love this ROM. I'm in the process of fully charging my battery before bed and then going to let it sit and see how it goes overnight with battery drainage. I had a really good tune on ShoStock so let's see how this compares. Of course media scanner will be disabled for this run. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MikeC4510:
So I've been on this rom for about 24 hours now... And I'm loving it. Missing some stock touchwiz stuff but oh well, first time on CyanogenMod. And this is definitely stable enough as a daily driver (for me) its just the dang media server (I've installed that one app: rescan media root and I don't think it helped?) Lol anyways this is some fairly decent battery life.

Edit: it stayed alive longer

help?!?!?

So, I've made this fairly cool/funny cm10 boot animation.. and for some reason i can not get it to work.. I have never made one for android, but I am sure I am doing it correctly. Was wondering if someone out there could help me out if you have any experience or let me pm you the bootanimation.zip dropbox link. I was planing on releasing this to the public, but not if i can't get it to work. It's not that great, just something I put together in a few hours, but much (if any help) would be appreciated.

ps, i posted this in here because it is related to cm10 and thought at least 1 out of every 10 of you would enjoy it until we get an actual cm10 boot animation

i will be up for another 10 mins or so, and will probably check back in around 10AM CST

pss, and yes i tried in both data/local and system/media, im just ticked i spent 4 hours on this thing, and another 2 trying to get it to work :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rk249:
I'm sure you must have used creepyncrawly's post to root your phone. If not check it out, it has the full instructions on how to get a custom kernel with CWM. Once you have that then you can flash as many roms and kernel you want. Here's the link for it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
Restore full nandroid and then back up apps with titanium. Then you can restore to cm10. The main thing you DONT want to do is restore any system data/apps (dont even back them up). I've yet to run into a problem restoring any market apps on any ROM. Worst case there is, is the app won't be compatible with JB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sjwaste:
What version of gapps are you using that Google now works? I've tried the latest from ROM manager per the op but that's ICS and just opens regular search. The one from goo.im listed for CM10 gives me an FC when I try to search. Is there a specific one that works ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
With regard to rescan media root app. If you rebooted at anytime you need to use the app to kill media scanner on reboot :D

Entropy,

Have you thought about getting in touch with CNET, Engadget, Gizmodo, Ars, etc. regarding the lack of help from Samsung? Making sure those guys understand and document these problems in their product reviews would really strike at Sammy's heart. To Samsung, we here at XDA are likely nothing more than a small percentage of total users, especially considering their supercharged advertising campaign, which without further research I'm sure has exponentially increased their user base.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup. d2 has had working HDMI for months. Oh yeah, it also has Miracast mostly working (unfortunately, Netgear PTV3000 will currently only work with Nexus 4, as the PTV3000 requires the source to support HDCP.

So far, Miracast is easy (other than that HDCP issue) on modern Qualcomms. Opensource Exynos4 video encoder is missing required features to make it perform well, and in fact the OMX encoder for Exynos5 is missing cyclic macroblock refresh too. Nexus7 is also missing that required component.

It's possible to disable cyclic macroblock refresh, but the end result is packet loss can cause your screen to be garbled for 15 seconds. In addition to the codec issues, the Miracast infrastructure in 4.2 doesn't play well with the backwards compatibility hacks we used to get 4.2 even usable on these devices.

I basically don't give a **** any more. BABBQ was Samsung's last chance for me - they made a ****-ton of promises and they didn't keep a single damn one of them.

Sony >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Samsung in terms of support. Seriously, we don't even have to do any searching for which CAF tag they base their kernels off of - if we ask them, they tell us.

Samsung can't do something like that since there is no reference source for their platform that is even remotely up to date.
