Your battery is going bad ....im on this rom for long time and never have heating problems with power button or anything else....so what most guys are trying to blame this rom.....I will say that some people dont look in to OP and search for better way to flash keep phones wthout junk from other roms they flash
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OSN_Voodoo:
Yeah thats what i thought, that my battery is done for. Since everyone elses phone does amazingly good, unless they have settings different to mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dsbrohan:
My phone is getting close to two years old and my battery is pretty much dead as well. With moderate use I get maybe 2 hours screen time and 14 hours standby on this and ajk 2.02s. About time to drop this phone anyways.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
Obviously something is eating your battery. Did you try monitering it using an app called better battery stats.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OSN_Voodoo:
Nope, I have not, I let it drain and am charging it while turned off. Soon as it finishes charging I will download it and check it out. Also, I uninstalled Facebook just to see if it was that, even though I had it hibernating with Greenify, it might not have been hibernating all the way. Right now I only have three apps installed (apart from the ones the rom came with) which are WhatsApp, Pandora & GroupMe. Seems like I'm the only one with the problem, so it's definitely my phone, or something in it, 'cause I see everyone else having amazing battery life lol. (My SG2 is from Straight Talk if that helps... SGH-S959G)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
If you wanna try it, it's available on xda. Just search "better battery stats" and the thread for the app should come up.

Battery Life

After not so great battery life on the last two versions of Shostock 3, I went back to the 2.59 and my battery life is avg. 1.4% hr. overnight and last much longer on daily use. I know you said there's no difference in the builds but this works for me! Prob be getting the S4 or Note 3 this fall when my contract is done so I look forward to your other roms! Thanks for all your hard work SHO! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] OSN_Voodoo:
Alright so, i dont know whats going on. Seems like im losing 50%/hr?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twcobra:
Ok it could be one of many things. Try redownloading. You could have a corrupted file. Do a factory reset and reinstall with the fresh download. Only add your Google account with no other programs. Give it a day or 2. If your battery is still draining like this then it's time to order a new one. If ok start adding programs 1 at a time. Also of you are using a restore program, be careful not to restore system information from another Rom. This would mess things up.

You know what I find amusing about all these testimonials about excellent battery life? They're all from users who have turned everything off that makes smart phones smart and then turn them on before they use the app that needs that function. I can't imagine what a pain in the ass that would be.

Let's see, I want to send my location in Whatsapp, well, first I have to turn on GPS, go into the app, use the function, then leave the app and then turn it back off again. Now I want to use Google Now, let's see, how many different services does that use? Well I know I have to at least turn GPS back on and then data but once I turn it back of its just a dead app. Yup, that's convenient. Why don't you guys just get a flip phone?

I use Greenify & Green Power Premium. It does all the work for me after initial setup. I do not use Google Now, that's a battery killer for sure. I use Chrome & Google Maps but some things are disabled like auto checkins & tilt scrolling. The biggest advantage was purchasing this new oem battery a few months ago vs. the 2 year old one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Any ideas on the cause of issues with wifi? I did a completely clean install and when I first went to connect my wifi, it wouldn't connect. I waited a bit and tried again and then it connected.

I've had everything up and running now for a few days and at least a couple times a day, I have to go in and turn wifi off, then back on, for it to do anything. Never had these types of problem with my previous rom and I'm thinking something needs to be tweaked. Wifi is setup for 'Always On' when asleep so it should never turn off... but it inevitably loses the connection at some point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sbi1:
Thanks. Sounds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I really don't think it's this rom.

-Are you using the included kernel?

-By chance are you using a Belkin router??

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Xparent Red Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Yeah I'm using everything included in the first post. Using a Netgear WNDR3800 router which has always functioned fine. Reset it earlier just to make sure and still happens.

I've noticed it happens more when I unlock it like wifi isn't actually enabled yet it shows it is.. but no data is transferring. I go into the notification bar, disable wifi, turn it back on... and then it's fine for a couple hours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
If you don't have an app that messes with your Wi-Fi like some battery saver do. Then it is just your router. You can try tinkering with the router settings but i can tell you i had a Belkin that did the same thing and was slower than mobile data when it WAS connected. In the end i had to just go buy a new router and problem solved. I got a netgear wnr2000 and my phone works fine with it, except now my PC disconnects everyone it goes to sleep. Go figure.

If you put your "router model" and "Samsung phones" in Google you will see you are not the only one with this problem.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
While I appreciate you trying to help, pointing to the router as the only possible cause isn't helping. I've had this router for 2yrs now, gone through at least half a dozen ROMs and never experienced this issue, ever. Now I'm not saying that it's not absolutely unrelated to my equipment, but looking at all the evidence, it doesn't point that way. I'll even do a full backup in a few, restore my old image and let it go for a couple days just to prove to myself that it's not. :laugh:

But when I have issues with the ROM and connecting immediately after I install it, and then intermittent issues throughout the day, it really seems to be software related. I might just reinstall this as well after I go back.

Either way, appreciate the help...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
Yes i got that from your first post but we're any of these half dozen other roms "Samsung"based roms?

Not trying to sound smart a$$ I'm just trying to point out that some Samsung devices just don't work right on some routers. Maybe try it on someone else's router and see if the problem persists.

I'm not a complainer but since someone has mentioned about wifi, I think I should chip in my experience, again this is purely MY CASE.

Wifi is cutting in and out. I HAVE TO turn it off then turn it on for it to work.

Not a biggie, just an extra step. Itchy at first but get used to it.

Again, this is just ME and my phone.

I bet others don't have any issue.

Also, GPS won't work (95%) until reboot, after that, sat. locked pretty quick.

I can select a downloaded app and move it around the screen but when I try to place in tab it wont go.. just slings back to where it was on right. Apps on bar do do anything not even the done button... no haptic either to indicate I have selected that item. Its minor though just wanted to see if I was doing something wrong.

I've had little glitches here and there, but all in all been solid and reliable. i once had the GPS issue others mentioned (where it wouldn't work unless the phone was rebooted if GPS had been off), then it worked fine for a awhile, then started doing it again lol. I used GPS Status and that seemed to fix the issue, which helped others too.

Other wise been solid, except on 3.0.2 I can't save camera photos to the external sd which I did before and the file is still there. Reflashed twice and still won't let me, I cleared cache/data but if manually try to copy the folder from sd it says task failed, and if switched in the camera app says "unable to save file to sd card. default storage has been changed to device". I can do/move other stuff on the external so not sure why this is happening with the camera lol.

Android quirks :eek:

sho3 still f'n rocks though, buttery smooth and fast and awesome battery life even on my 2 year old battery.

edit: got it to work, tried reformatting the card, still gave that issue. Tried again and it let me move the folder over and camera saves to external. However one weird thing, when it created the folder it said copying 6 items that were 377mb, when there were no files at all as photos already backed up to my computer. Gallery was empty, dcim/cam was empty on sd card, so no clue what 6 files at almost 400mb were transfered with that folder as it's empty on the external too (cept' for the photo I just did to check if it saved to external).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shoman94:
I save my photos to external always and never had an issue on both of my s2's. Maybe the SD card is suspect. Hopefully it continues to work for you now that you got it working.
