[Galaxy S II General] loop4444:
Take it like this: i upgraded to ICS over GB and did full wipe. First day i installed lets say 20+ apps that i use. mostly utilities,few games.

In this period of "recovery" i only updated few apps, installed GTAIII and Flipboard.

Let me make this perfeclty clear as i stated in OP and as deniso wrote: i am aware of todays batterys and how do they work. i am not senior android user but i know my way around,so as i stated, i know i dident "FIX" the battery itself. But i still think the main problem here is not the battery itself,its how ICS uses it.

However this:

is just... funny. "try not to" ok i get it, but below 50% is when u need your phone the most, should i carry a portable generator with me? no offense.

Please, do not throw rocks at me. I am aware what i wrote, and i am aware that it doesent makes sense with todays batterys and smartphones.

however,i still do have my better battery life, whatever u say or dont say.

Ill make some screenies when i come home.

Ty all for your feedback.
[Galaxy S II General] deniso177:
I said TRY not to, I personally use my phone all day and my battery only gets down to about 75% -85% at the end of the day, so it takes nothing special for our phones, unless you do heavy gaming or movie watching all the time.

And what I said, which wasn't throwing rocks at you, is that you probably just reset your fuel gauge as there was a lack of power to the memory chip, and like I said in my first post, Search EXTWEAKS and Siyah kernel as they have that exact function in them which does not require you to drain your battery below critical values or at all.
[Galaxy S II General] loop4444:
hello again, just posting screenies that i promised :D

(its in croatian,but you can see what is important)

So as i said before. This is roughly really 50% MORE then what i was getting first few days on ICS. now, i dont know still if this is very good or average, but

it gets me trough day for sure. As u can see, i posted "screen on" time, cuz i was not getting even half of that before and i still have 34% left!

The day was filled with 5-6 emails, i watched 4 youtube videos, did cca 29 mins on surfing and cca 30-35mins in plants vs zombies. few sms, few calls.

So, im not playin smart here or anything, i just have more batter with whatever i did, and it makes me happy :D

Cheers
[Galaxy S II General] Obagleyfreer:
You getting more battery after 3 days could quite simply be due to the fact that you flashed new firmware and it always takes a few days for the kernel and modem to 'settle in'. You will never get a true indication of battery drain straight after flashing firmware.

And to the guy above who said he can use his phone the whole day and it never falls below 75%, wow!

I would love to know what firmware, kernel/modem combo you're using.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Hi guys

Wonder if you can help me.

So have a custom kernel running, but stock ICS.

If I were to get an OTA / Kies update, what would happen to the custom kernel? After the update, would I get stock kernel?

Also, I presume I would also lose root, and would have to re-root (or could I just use OTA Rootkeeper).

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
your update will fail upon install cause you aren't running all same components of same version rom. Try it at own risk. Even having different modem makes update fail. At least for me:)

Change kernel back to rom version and update will succeed. Then put custom back.

Ota and you dont have to loose root. Kies then you must be unrooted.

well... just sharing....

i was on 4.0.3 ICS stock with speedmod v11... then i got the update for 4.0.4 via kies and i was able to install the update successfully. the kernel when back to the stock one and all the stock apps came back... and i lost root as well.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browngeek:
Hmm, OK, so there is no clarity then!

I guess I could download the firmware from Sammobile and update manually via CWM or Odin in that case?

If I were to do that though, would that be a no wipe?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letters_to_cleo:
Try to follow this link (from doc Ketan's thread) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

You can download the firmware on your specific region, use PC Odin (you wont get the triangle mark in anyway)

There are also guides on that thread that might help you out.. Just read and see if it might interest you or not.

P.S. Regarding your initial post. You will lose your Custom kernel when your going to flash /upgrade to the Official Samsung ICS firmware. The kernel will be replace with the kernel package on that ROM. And YES you will lose root upon upgrading it but nothing can't be fix if your going to flash back the custom kernel again (to gain root) and use Triangle Away to reset your binary counter and clear out the yellow triangle on the bootup screen
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-Shayde:
Hi there, I'd like to pick some root owners' brains if any are around.

I've never rooted. I have a limited understanding in this area and am capable of googling. Hence why I got this far

I am only posting a thread because I need some direct human interaction before I make any decisions or risk bricking my PLAY.

Ultimately I'd like to be able to do the following:

1)Backup my files (and the phone data itself in case it goes wrong)

2)Safely Delete bloatware *cough* Bruce Lee/FIFA *cough*

3)Increase battery-life (y'know, custom settings so it uses less at certain times)

4)SAFELY control the CPU - in conjunction with the above so that it saves batter life or reduces lagging/FR issues in PSXperia games

7)Use a decent Root explorer

8)Anything else you see as essential?

My main issue with this is whether or not I will void my warranty by doing this. I've read in some places that only unlocking the bootloader does so, and hence why I am looking at using SuperOneClick (any opinions/reviews on this?)

Another thing is that I haven't seen a way to backup the phone pre-root. I don't want to unsuccessfully root it and damage the phone without a backup I can return to, as all Backup services I've come across are for root users only.

This post may be a little bit of a mess, and I apologise, but if anyone can help me with this process I would be in your debt :)

Can we buy that sticky kinda cloth in the dock which somehow protex our prime? If not, any suggestions as an alternative? I torn mine out coz it was damage by my screen protector.. it sucks...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Blarok:
Thats a good Question...

I maybe have the same problem in the near future, cause the "protector" at the front side (the side near to the keys if you opened and undocked the Prime) is slowly wandering down to the bottom of the dock mechanism. I already have some scratches in my Primes screen protector... :rolleyes:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
That cloth is actually a thin sheet of foam like THIS STUFF.

You can buy them at a lot of craft stores, they come in sheets so just cut it to the size or shape you need. If you need to attach it to the inside of your Prime's dock, I would recommend getting some double-sided photo tape.

You can probably find both of these items at your local Walmart in the craft section. If not you could check out any local craft stores like A.C. Moore or Michaels.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DavieMarshall:
Starting in Germany today Android Central are reporting a brand new update for the International Galaxy Note. It's still based on Android 4.0.4, so don't get get too excited just yet. This brings along popup play, the brand new S Cloud contact backup, home screen improvements, a new lock screen, general UI overhauls and the new 3D gallery app found on the Note 2.

These are said to name 'but a few' of the changes. Until we get some hands on time and start to build a bit change log w e can't be sure. Post up in the thread if you get your hands on it and we can start to sift through it.

On the surface there's nothing I'm massively excited about being a Nova Launcher user, and a QuickPic fan. The popup play could be nice though. Anyway, the crux of the update is this. We're getting Galaxy S III features and Note 2 apps/features before it even launched. This should hopefully be the unofficial handshake we've been hankering after. Android Central believe the Note is now shown as VERY likely to get Jelly Bean from the guys at Samsung and I happen to agree. S Cloud on the Note before it even debuts on the first model to feature it off the shelf? That's hugely encouraging that the Note 2 won't make the Note end of life anywhere near soon.

http://www.androidcentral.com/software-update-brings-s3-and-note-2-features-original-galaxy-note

Change Log (Known)

- TouchWiz 5 (credit to EmuX)

- 3D gallery from Note 2

- Popup play

- Revised lock screen(?) - Allows ability to swipe straight to camera in landscape mode (new?)

- S Cloud contact back up

- Galaxy S III's Direct call (credit to antique_sonic)

Word of caution: I downloaded from Sammobile, installed using mobile odin pro and guess what, I lost root access even though I checked everroot. Nice one, especially since I had no pc at hand. I borrowed a laptop from a friend, regained root and now I'm fine again. I don't know why it happened, maybe I was just unlucky. But I wouldn't install this without having a pc available to regain root access.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] antique_sonic:
It is confirmed not the mobile ODIN which cause the bootloop.

It will be depends on your device condition before you do the flash from mobile ODIN (eg : any tweaks you did to your mobile ? what kind of tweaks ? only you know better what exactly you did to your device).

But, don't compare mobile ODIN to PC ODIN, since PC ODIN is using PC environment when injecting the software to your handphone, whereby mobile ODIN is using fully your device resources.

I'm flashing this with mobile ODIN twice, and confirm never experienced any bootloop.

I've followed dr. Ketan's thread on how to flash this with mobile ODIN and using hydracore kernel v3.5. And so far.... so good....

No bootloop, no brick, voila... here I am on LRQ :p

I really suspect mobile odin pro. I have flashed many times using older versions of mobile odin pro and I've never had a problem. But with the latest version I've had two successive problems. First I lost root during the flash process event though everroot was active. And after I restored root and realized that the rom I flashed isn't the one that is rolling out in Germany with TW5 etc. I decided to flash my previous rom again. I loaded it with mobile odin, hit the flash button, the device restarted only to abort the flash process and I had a boot loop. in the end I had to restore a nand backup to finally get my device working again.
