I charge either every day or every other with ICS....depends on how I'm using it. I try to remember to turn off wi-fi when i am putting it down for a while, and overnight. (I use powerbar widget on main screen to make it simple)

I will take another crack at JB later this week, and maybe can make a comparison then.

Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help me, I just bought an i777 kk6 at&t.

I check this thread about aberration for i777 and I was wondering if I could get any help installing it into mine i777.

Aberration i777

Should I root my i777 first?

I tried to do it, but I had an error with my wifi so I unroot the phone, after that I search all over the internet to find out on how to root an i777 kk6, but I did not find any good information on how to do it (I am new with this but I swear I search a lot specially in this forum the past 3 days)

So if you can please let me know about any threads where I can find any information on how to root the phone and then install aberration that will be great.

In advanced thank you very much for your help and sorry for my lousy english.

Also one more question.

I want to know if anybody can help me with this, I see that a lot of people has Siyah Kernel.

are the kernels from this site made for i777 kk6?

http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
No. Those would be for the GT-I9100 I believe. The kernels for the I777 will all be available in this forum, in the development section. You must use a Gingerbread kernel with a Gingerbread system, so when you are rooting with UCKH7, the two main custom kernels are linked in the guide. That would be Siyah, and Entropy512's daily driver. Either one will work fine to get you ClockworkMod Recovery. You'll probably be flashing a different kernel when you put on a new firmware anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Use the Siyah kernel from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592228

It is the same kernel from the website you found, but adapted specifically for the I-777. There are two versions. For aberration i believe you need to install the version WITH micswap, but check the threads to make sure. If you are using it with another ROM, check the first post from the thread above, they list which versions you need for different roms.

One caution: some people have reported problems when installing v4 of the kernel immediately after flashing a new ROM. To avoid problems, Flash your rom, reboot the phone fully, then go back into CWM recovery and flash your kernel. Or, if you are not flashing a jellybean rom, you can just use version 3 of ktoonsez kernel instead of the version 4 beta, and avoid the problem altogether.

Edit: oops...seems creepy beat me to it. Just do whatever he said, he is one of the most knowledgeable people here :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
@bigote,

Maybe I misinterpreted your question, and wgoldfarb has it right, but just to be clear...

If you are rooting the phone with UCKH7 plus root from my guide, you will need to install a Gingerbread custom kernel to get ClockworkMod Recovery so that you can flash Aberration. In that case, DO NOT use this kernel since it is for ICS and will not boot when flashed with a UCKH7 system. Read and follow my previous post.

Once you have Aberration installed, then you can upgrade the kernel to the latest Siyah ICS kernel from this link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wgoldfarb:
Sorry, when i replied i had not yet seen creepy's post. As i said above, just follow what he said. To clarify my answer, i was assuming you were planning on rooting your phone following creepy's instructions, then install aberration, and THEN flash Siyah to use with aberration. In any case, if you are ever in doubt, you can never go wrong with creepy's answers.

[Motorola Droid 3] vogelap:
My rooted Droid 3 (stock Verizon) has suddenly begun consuming battery at a truly alarming rate. The unit is warm to the touch, too.

When I check the battery usage, I see com.motorola.home.newsstand is consuming 38% of the battery and Google Services is taking 27% -- both more than the OS and Display combined. I don't recall seeing either of those -- especially com.motorola.home.newsstand -- consuming so much battery before.

I am not sure what is causing that, nor how to disable them...

I've tried rebooting, but it persists.

Can anyone guide me? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Wipe the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] vogelap:
@MrObvious...

Thanks for your message. That does seem, um, obvious. But I'd rather not wipe the phone. Any other suggestions?
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
download an app/task manager and try to stop those services see if that helps?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
It seems like they're syncing/downloading non-stop. Try going Menu > Settings > Apps then Force Close both of those. I would also go into their settings and make sure that that aren't set up to pre-load articles/pictures over 3G and check that they are set to sync at a reasonable interval.

Wiping the phone is a terrible idea for two apps that seem to have gone rogue. They can be frozen, removed, replaced, fixed, etc.

That's like killing a fly on the wall with an RPG. Sure, it gets the job done, but it wipes out the entire village in the process.
[Motorola Droid 3] joelharter:
Not trying to be Obvious, but how about a reboot? Or is this an everday issue? I've had applications "hang" and had a similar drain and heat issue. Both were gone by just rebooting...

I remember that the firsts realise for the HTC One S had this keyboard, so i think it will be easy..

I copied HTC_IME.apk , IMEXT9English.apk and IMEXT9Italian.apk (i am italian..) to System/app folder with -rw-r--r-- , Owner "0: root", Group "0: root"; but the keyboard is not showing in setting...

Can someone help me?

Hello.How is official ics(4.0.4? on the nitro hd? Is it better than gingerbread in performance, does it have better benchmark results than gb,better battery, is video playback smooth, is the browser and gaming smooth? Would anyone want to go back to GB?BTW if i update does it have any result on the screen?Asking cause im not sure to update. Thx for the answers.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
I'm sure no one would go back to gingerbread here, benchmarks don't really matter. Stock ics is super smooth. I just don't use it because atm there are better roms available like hono full throttle and cm10 preview.
[LG Nitro HD] miguellopez12:
No one would go back to gb
[LG Nitro HD] eshka:
features vs battery life

I would go back. I can't stand half time of battery life regardless of all ICS features. I already got "double capacity" battery from Amazon, but still it's far from GB longevity on stock battery. There are other ROMs, but you need to root the phone and install some kind of CPU Sleeper app. In my case Android OS consumes 40% of the juice and is awake most of time. In GB the major consumer was the screen and I can afford it because the screen is nice :). Here in ICS they fixed it by worsening Android OS power consumption :( Not good improvement at all.

Check this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1813378

and other thread about Battery Life and think for yourself.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Did you do factory reset after installing ICS update? You should if you haven't.

Can you please help me root my nitro which I updated to ics via the LG tool. Is there a way to root this device which is already running LG's 4.0.3? Please help!!
[LG Nitro HD] eshka:
I did factory reset (remember the other thread). It improved the life but not too much actually...
[LG Nitro HD] 996gt2:
I don't know how you guys are getting bad battery life with the official ICS.

I've been averaging 15 hours of battery life on the official release with pretty heavy use throughout the day... I can provide a screen shot of my battery use screen if desired.

I'm also using the stock LG 1800 mAh battery, and not an extended battery.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Wow you might want to see what is causing that under GB I could never go all day on the HC battery let alone stock the ONLY thing I have found better was CM9 stable but not by much. BTW I am only running RAM booster to manage my apps nothing else. Screen shot with official ICS and stock battery and over an hour of phone calls plus my entire lunch break on the phone:
[LG Nitro HD] eshka:
I had a chat with AT&T support and folowed their instruction: Do factory reset, DO NOT RESTORE ALL APPS, only restore/update preinstalled apps, install/restore other apps one by one to find "incompatible" apps.

During first 6 hours after reset with only preinstalled apps it was ok. Then I reinstalled Yahoo Mail to sync address book. It also was ok. Then in 3 hours I installed WhatsApp and that was not soo good. Going to stop it and check if it is the problem. May be uninstall is better. Not sure yet. :fingers-crossed:

Also I'll put back stock battery just to do not compare apples to oranges :)
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I am glad you have found the issue! :)
[LG Nitro HD] IRingTwyce:
As of right now, I would gladly go back. I have an extended battery. Before the update, I regularly got 1½ - 2 full days with moderate to heavy use. No longer. Last night I unplugged my phone at 2 am with 100% charge. Eleven hours later, it sits at 23% with no usage other than 2 short phone calls, 4 or 5 texts, and no gameplay or other usage. Factory reset or no, this is just plain pathetic. I'm pretty confident that if I had the stock battery in right now, I would be lucky to get 3 hours out of it before having to charge.

I have also had issues with lagging, especially while typing text. And finally, my touchscreen seems to be...."off." Touches no longer register completely accurately. Seems to affect the right half of the screen more than the left.
[LG Nitro HD] 996gt2:
Something must have gone very wrong with your installation of the V20C official ICS.

Not only have I had no problems with my installation, but I also get much better battery life on rooted V20C ICS than on CM9.

Here is my battery usage so far today, on the stock LG 1800 mAh battery (not the 3800 mAh battery).
[LG Nitro HD] SeriousGeorge:
Your phone is probably staying awake 100%. I had the same problem with the official ICS firmware. I tried installing it thought the official installer and using the flashable version through CWM. Factory reset and froze all the bloatware. Same problem with both of them. Phone stays awake almost all the time and hardly ever goes to sleep. I went back to CM9.
[LG Nitro HD] IRingTwyce:
Well now I have new problems. Did a factory reset, and now every time I unplug the charger (car OR wall), the phone immediately shuts off. Juuuuuuust great. I wish I had NEVER done the upgrade. Shame on me for not waiting and reading about others' troubles first. :(
[LG Nitro HD] webbles17:
I've had no problems. Battery life is way better (hyperion 3800mah). Super smooth and definitely the best launcher out there. Sucks that telus deleted the themes though.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You might want to try forceably reflashing the ICS update. Perhaps something got corrupted the first time around or something, I don't know. To do it, you would have to follow the directions from the unbricking guide except use the Telus KDZ from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838346 . Consider using a different USB cable if you have one just to rule out the possibility of a problematic cable that caused the flashing to get corrupted.

Unfortunately I have no idea why you would be experiencing the problems you're having.
[LG Nitro HD] IRingTwyce:
OK. Thanks for that info. The factory reset has definitely left me with serious charging issues. Left the phone charging all night, and it only charged to 56%! That was with a solid 8 hours plugged in with the factory cable/plug.

Is there a particular reason I need to use that specific Telus KDZ? Just curious.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
That KDZ is Telus's version of ICS. It's the same file that automatically gets downloaded by LG's updater tool if you use it normally. The problem is that LG in their infinite wisdom won't let you reinstall ICS because "there is no update available". The unbricking guide basically tricks the updater into applying the update anyway, but you have to manually download the KDZ you want to install.

You don't HAVE to install that one. You could also install Bell's or AT&T's ICS if you wanted to try it. But I don't think there's a good way to get back to Telus Gingerbead unless someone has a backup of it they can post. You could install a custom ROM though.

BTW, is it possible the problem is actually with the battery itself and it's just a coincidence? Are you using an OEM battery?
[LG Nitro HD] IRingTwyce:
That was something that was REALLY ticking me off last night as I fought with this.

Didn't really want to go the custom ROM route with this phone...but I might. I'm on at&t FWIW, but I'm not opposed to another company's ROM. I do like several of the unlocking features and other visual tweaks of LG's ICS, but I don't know how the custom ROMs would compare in that regard.

Anything is possible, but it seems like too much of a coincidence. I'm using a QCell extended battery. It's maybe six months old at the most. With GB I regularly got 2 days on a charge with fairly heavy usage. Immediately upon updating to ICS, battery life dropped to roughly 16 hours. I didn't do the factory reset for roughly one week after updating, as I <stupidly> did not do any research before the update. Immediately after the reset my battery issues compounded with the slow/no charge and shut down on power cord unplug / reboot on power cord plug in. Sadly, my stock battery is 630 miles away. So I have no way of eliminating the battery as being the issue. :confused:

good evening...... This is my first time here and heard a lot about this forum and i have a problem with my HTC incredible S phone where the new contacts are getting saved however when try to retrieve the newly added contacts say after a week it is not there and i have lost a lot of very important number and i cannot find any logical solution with this issue and i recently updated the ios to ICS4 and previously it was gingerbread

please give me a solution to the problem or guide me to the site where the solution is available

thank you in advance
[HTC Incredible S] WILLI120:
Well that's a weird problem... Try this: Recreate every single contact in one go and export them in a v-card file (that's the way, I backup my contacts - it's easy to backup and restore) after saving the file try a factory reset and import contacts after it. This could help u, but be sure that a factory reset will wipe out all your data on your phone (except SD-card).
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
It could also be something to do with your settings..

wen you create a a contact you could be saving it to your gmail account & your phone may be displaying the contacts on your phone.

and vice-verse. you could be saving to your phone & set display contacts to gmail account.

i do not think it is possible for you to just loose the contacts
[HTC Incredible S] gokulakrishnan:
i did check it and all the contacts face book g mail phone sim everything is getting displayed
[HTC Incredible S] letmedanz:
well if it is synced to google, log in to your gmail account & goto 'contacts'

see if the missing contacts are there.. if they are then there could be some problem with the phone (highly unlikely)

I think you could search google play by the term phone unlock you may find different apps to try to unlock it mostly paid services may help you you call them and give them some details and may help you unlock it see the comments in app and rating !!! try them first before rooting as you may if not managed to unlock exchange it online if possible with unlocked device or device locked to your preferred network without going the hassle of trying to unroot and returning to factory state again also do not try apps that require root in your device as some of them are device specific and if used in your tab may brick it as they may change some files in system and as tab 2 is considered a new device so no specific app to unlock it till now as i heard (need a rooted device and specific app for specific phone model only)
