Battery life on Rc7, 8, and 9 20%/hr drain.

I've tried all three roms and even CM10 when it first came out and the battery drain made the phone useless. yesterday I went back to stock to do a clean install and with stock I was getting 12-13hrs of normal use which is reasonable compared to 6hrs with all other roms. I re-installed RC9 and the first 12hrs were reasonable with 6hr drain which I thought maybe I needed to let it settle as I've read here but I noticed that "MEDIA" suddenly showed up again as 85% and it started draining even faster. My next step it to wipe/format the memory card and reinstall but it does not seem to happen with stock. And yes I did not install apps from Titaneum, they were all from the app store. I am very frustrated, it makes the phone almost useless. I read this is a known issue with JB but I wonder why it happens to some and not others.:mad::mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gruntparty:
You have to tweak and select the correct settings so you don't get excessive drain. My phone lasts about 15 hours with about 3-5 hours of usage with data disabled (i use WiFi a lot)

Use Autostarts or equivalent app to disable useless startup tasks, loggers, notifications, and especially location update services.

Is there a way to fix the incompatibility issue? I've scammed through the thread and have found no answer

Btw, my LCD density is set 180 and I did clear play store ate, reboot, etc.

If someone could help it'd be great, I don't want to flash back to SimBean lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrParo:
Is there a way to make it so notifications on the status bar don't overlap with the time, this is an issue especially if you have time and date centered on the status bar. Perhaps limiting notification icons to say 4. Stock android would max out on notification icons at a certain point. Overall solid ROM been fooling around with it for hours configuring all my apps. I'll comment later on the battery life of this after I've used it more. Thanks!

I am looking into purchasing a Galaxy s II but it will be the SGH-T989 model and none of the pictures for any of the roms look like they apply to this model so I would be afraid of rooting it or even flashing this rom onto it. i want to follow this guide ( http://www.androidpit.com/How-To-Install-A-Custom-ROM-On-Your-Rooted-Samsung-Galaxy-S2 ) and this guide ( http://www.androidpit.com/rooting-galaxy-s2 ) but i am scared to purchase this item. can you give me some information about them and tell me if they are the same device and i have nothing to be afraid of when working on it.

Before I mess with this ROM... Do I have to upgrade TWRP to 2.3.1.1 from 2.2.2.0? Is the 2.3.1.1 TWRP going to cause issues flashing any other ROM that is ICS based? I keep seeing problems with people using the TWRP's past 2.2.2.0. I've been holding back on updating TWRP due to this factor.

I Have reverted to stock for the time being VIA clockwork mod flash.

The Rom is stock and pre rooted after flash though i still wish to run LiquidSmooth what i did was i installed Kies and made it work with my Windows 8 system afterward i used Odin 1.85 to flash Clockwork mod 5 to my phone afterward i booted into the Recovery and thought ah i think i know how to do this so i wiped the cache and factory reseted afterward i installed liquid smooth but it failed to boot i paniced and tryed another flash and then tried a Paranoid android rom still no go. So i was then scared so i found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 and flashed it through CWM now i am back to square one but rooted now. Can i have help installing this ROM before giving it another go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:

Greetings All!

I believe I hard bricked my T989 reflashing this rom.. It no longer powers on and I cannot enter download mode holding the power/vol up & down buttons. I'm not sure if it's hard bricked or not since i am a brick virgin (i think). Is there any way for me to revive this phone? and if not, will t-mobile be able to tell that the device is rooted?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Nothing but wallpapers

---------- Post added at 04:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 AM ----------

Did you flash hercules zip or d2tmo? If d2tmo you are bricked thats for the s3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DJRU5h:
I flashed d2tmo.... :(

For the record I didnt realize it was for the s3 but I guess it works on the s2 sometimes because d2tmo is the version of this rom that I had on my s2 initially before flashing to jedi jelly2 the other day. Jedi Jelly2 doesnt have wifi on it so i tried to reflash back to liquid smooth since it was working on my phone initially. Big oops. I will just have to send it on back to t-mo and get another one. Thanx for your input.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cajunflavoredbob:
This is why insurance and warranty claims are so damn expensive. You broke it, and now you're sending it back as though it's their fault that you flashed the wrong ROM...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
For the record you never had dtmo working on an s2...that is impossible....and if you try again you will brick again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DJRU5h:
for the record.. I DID have it on my phone.. I didnt even see the hercules version or know what it was (as noob a move as that is).. I know it doesnt sound feasible but weirder things have happened. And as far as me sending in my phone to fix something that I broke.. Well thats what I'm paying for insurance on the device for.. And if you can't handle paying a simple processing charge then something is wrong. $5 is soooo much money.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Must have been a magical s3 rom working on his phone as many bricks as we have heard about from people flashing the d2tmo.:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
At moments like these... you would think that people who are planning on taking the (quite BIG) risk of flashing a custom ROM (especially if it's their first time) would take the time to precisely follow the instructions that all the devs kindly include in the post for a reason and make sure all the files they have downloaded are the "proper" ones.

Unfortunately, the reality is that there are people here who have such pride and ego that they are at the point where in their mind they believe there will be no consequences for any "little" mistake they make. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
Lol...I just hope nobody confuses what this guy is saying and installs this thinking it would work....D2TMO WILL NOT WORK ON A S2....NO WAY NO HOW...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE...if you don't believe me, then ask any developer.........
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
No doubt...let's all flash an S3 rom just for the hell of it and call this National Brick Day!!! Yeah right...not gonna happen!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Bandaid_nyc:
Pull out the battery and sim card, let it sit two minutes. Place battery back in and try getting into recovery aka CWM or TWRP. If you can get into recovery you should be able to get into Download mode.

I keep it at 1512max/540min ondemand or smartassV2, kko kernel. Runs good for me. Background apps are killers gotta eliminate except what is needed if possoble.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] valent|n0:
Does your gsm calling sound quality ok on rc9?

Mine sounds very muffled and not 100% clear...

Maybe is the radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hype As Fruck:
I get awesome reception with the Note Radio on this ROM. I haven't tried UVLI1 on this ROM but that has been my 2nd best radio previously on TouchWiz ROMs.

UVLE1 and UVLI1 both have good call quality for me on this rom.

I'm on RC7 with UVLI1 radio and Nibbles 0.1.3 Kernel and battery life is pretty good. Not as good as with the UVLH1 radio but the reception and data speeds are better with the new radio.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrkart99:
Update: Clearing the data on the phone app seemed to have worked. The battery scale is measuring the screen as using the most battery now, which it should and battery life is improved so far. I would suggest clearing data on the phone if it is overactive.

Sent from my liquid smooth Hercules
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hype As Fruck:
Yes, under "display". Turn off Rotate via a toggle to access the display menu. That is the only bug that I can see in this ROM is the Rotation fix locks you out of Display. The whole ROM itself is flawless otherwise.

Also this volume button toggle as well under language and input.

Try going into settings>apps>all>google play and clear data, stop updates then reboot when you restart and go to google play again you should be able to download whatever you want .

I flashed the completely normal way, just as the video instructed in the OP and this hard bricked my phone. I have no idea what happened. I have been flashing roms for years, using 3 different devices and this has never happened to me. I'm not mad, as it is my risk flashing these, but just want it to be know at on RC it is possible to brick your phone, at least for me.

:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MikeYuse0406:
Google search keeps FCing either after I voice search or search by typing. As soon as I input the first letter it FC's. Has anyone found a fix yet? I see a few of us having this issue.

Other than that it is pretty sweet. Will report back about the back in a couple of days if I encounter any other problems such as RR, SOD, battery life, etc. Feel pretty solid for now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jdom58:
Whoa lr4life sorry to hear that man, can't imagine what you did though it's extremely difficult to hard brick these things unless you flash something that is not meant to be flashed for our phones.

I just flashes RC7 and the KDH Gapps using TWRP 2.2.2.0 and all is good. Anyone know where the setting to remove the fixed G search bar is? been looking through all the menus and either it's hidden or I'm blind, probably the latter :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dagod80:
I thought my phone was bricked as well after flashing this ROM. The phone got extremely hot and would not boot up. I ended up doing a battery pull, left the battery out for a little while. Then I put the battery back in and let the phone charge for about 30 minutes. Luckily after that I was able to do get to recovery and restored cm10. Hope that helps
