[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] BrettS:
The other thing I just thought of is that there are two kinds of USB ports... powered and non-powered. The powered ones can provide .5A of power, but the non-powered ones can only provide .1A. Is it possible that you have your device plugged into a non-powered USB port? Normally the ones that are directly on your computer are powered, but the ones on a USB hub are not unless that hub has a seperate mains adapter. Perhaps you should try a different USB port... preferably one that's directly on your PC.

I have tried to charge MDA Pro with the mains adapter from a GPS receiver (also 5V 1A).

It doesn't work. The only explanation is that they

did something with the ID pin. I don't think

the Universal is capable of finding out how

much current you can drive from the adapter.

You are absolutely right my friend! Disabling wi-fi and the brightness...started cumulating power!!!

Thanks guys!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SiliconS:
The situation has improved for me over the last week as the battery has become conditioned. At first mine didn't charge from USB but now it does. I've followed the recommendation of doing several full charge/discharge cycles since I got the phone.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] cr2:
This page says that on Magician the ID pin should

be grounded

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=31403

The same should be true for Universal, but YMMV.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] CL55:
It's ActiveSync.. M$ changed WM5 way of connecting by modifing the USB driver with AS4, and in doing so, I think the USB is not giving the proper currents to the Universal so when it's charging using the "modded" USB port, it charges VERY VERY slow... On the other hand, if you plug it into the wall charger, it charges up in about an hr or two max...

And you DON'T have to do the charge/discharge circle with polymer batteries....
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SiliconS:
You don't have to do this once you've been using it for a while, but the manual advocates conditioning the new battery with at least one (but ideally more) full charge/discharge cycles. New batteries have to 'learn' their capacity, IIRC.

My laptop's manual said the same thing, and because the battery has a brain you need to do a full charge/discharge cycle every couple of months to re-train the battery's electronic brain with the true capacity.

Certainly my Exec now has much better battery life than it did after its first charge... :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] rgalen:
Jasjar battery

I have a different problem. I used the AC adapter to charge overnight (I had been using the USB port to excellent effect). When I attempted to powerup the jasjar it has been unresponsive.

I plugged it into the USB port, but still nothing.

Tried both soft- and hard-resets. Nothing.

Left it plugged into the USB port and took out the battery and the LED on the right side glowed red (as it would if the battery were discharged) but the unit still wouldn't respond to reset commands.

When I put the battery back in the LED went out and the unit became unresponsive again.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a knackered battery, Rich. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Splatt!:
I'm not sure that fully discharging the battery is a good thing. I saw a comment on one of the RSS feeds on Buzz Lightyears site from one of the MSDN guys who actually said that fully discharging the battery was harmful to it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] SiliconS:
Yeah, I know what you mean. The thing my laptop manual says (which I guess applies to the Exec too) is that the device will turn off before the battery is completely flat, since the battery can't sustain the minimum voltage required to keep the basic functions alive even though there's still some charge left in it. Therefore the battery is never fully discharged, like it would be if you shorted the terminals.

I think it's the full (e.g. shorted out terminals) discharge that hurts the battery.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] daveke0201:
in the hp manuals its mentioned:

" if you charge via usb and the screen is on, the device will consume almost all the power from the usb. it will charge but at a very slow rate."

i suppose its the same with the universal

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
Hello,

I'm running 2.3.6 now and I wonder if I switch to 2.3.4 will I have less battery drain? Are there any functional lacks on 2.3.4 comparing to 2.3.6? However, I use GO Launcher on rooted phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Grift-:
Well next time please do post questiona in the general sub forum :) Anyway I think it is better to just update to 4.1.2 since you are rooted anyway. I get better battery life and signal on 4.1.2 compared to 2.3. My choice of a rooted stocked based rom would be NeatROM Lite by Sale :good:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElZeck:
I agree. Generally, upgrading rather than downgrading will increase performance so I would just go wit a higher version. Also, if you feel you have an unnatural battery drain, there are other options except switching versions to handle that. Maybe it is one of your apps that causes the battery drain. Other possibilites are sync cycles or kernel. If you switch to another kernel that might help your problems better than switching ROMs (although switching ROMs is always recommended, just for the fun of it :D)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Squaredot:
gulypi which

I don't know if I am doing something wrong, but I just flashed NeatRom 5.0 and the battery life is terrible.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martini.:
From my point of view, 2.3.4 stock with speedmod kernel was the best with my s2. I had battery life for 2 days. With latest roms I have battery life for max. 24h. I always did a clean install with factory reset. Don´t know why the battery life is so bad with my phone.

But now I ll give it another try. I will format the whole phone and try sentinel rom again which i liked most
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polosnaps:
NeatRom 5.0 killed my battery also. Trying 4.9 for now as I jumped from 4.6. If it's buggy I will switch back to 4.6
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewwright:
Media scanner fix for battery problem on neat ROM should fix this. Also Apollo kernel is great mix with any stick Sammy ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
I don't know why flash modded kernels (at least if you are about to have better battery life, not other mods)? I have plain stock GB 2.3.6 XWKL1 (DDKL1) and just use Go Power Master, Set Cpu and calibrated battery.

At first when I went back from ICS to GB battery lasted for 14hrs. I charged battery fully on and battery "learned" new system and went up to 23hrs. Then I calibrated battery: fully discharge till phone went off, again started, playing till off again and again till it won't on. Then without turning it on I charged battery fully, unplugged charger, waited till battery went to 99% and plug in charger again till 100%, and again. I was using WiFi over half time of usage, flight mode at nights, play wit phone settings, installing apps, browse internet a little, use as phone as usual, listen a music a little, browse photos, etc, and battery lasted for 39hrs on stock battery which previous owner using for last two years and he didn't care about healthy battery usage. I got Samsung Extension Pack with 2000mAh Battery and flat back panel but it waits for new S2 I bought yesterday. I will put new battery after ROM flash and get all restored to state I have now, then I calibrate that bigger battery for new phone.

But anyway, question was if someone was playing with 2.3.4 and 2.3.6 stock ROM's in order to achieve better battery performance? I read somewhere that guy had over 4 days on stock battery and 2.3.4 GB. So I wonder if I switch to 2.3.4, which may be probably less demanding system than 2.3.6, will I get more time on one charging? I don't care about how it may or not look like cause I use GO Launcher anyways, but does it have same stuff and functionality as 2.3.6?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
The problem with comparing your phones battery life is that it's depending on too many variables. You can't just say 'My phone lasted 30 hours with this and that usage', because everybody is using it differently. If you really want to test it, flash both versions yourself and try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polosnaps:
Can't find "media scanner fix" in the market. Any chance of a link.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
In addition to Donnie's very good point, you're asking about 2yr+ old firmware. Do you realise how few people on a site like this are actually running firmware that old ? You'd probably find a fair number of 'ordinary phone users' out there who are still running GB because they may not be technologically au fait enough to do an OTA update.

At the end of the day, changing firmware to squeeze every last drop of battery life becomes a game of diminishing returns in that you can spend a lot of time to get that last tenth of a % of use out of every charge. You have to ask yourself is it really worth it, or is it worth simply enjoying your phone & chucking it on charge every night (or if you really chew through battery, getting a spare).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackfire74:
Well, the thing is I don't understand why people update their phones and then complain about battery life if 2.3.6 works fine from what I observe here and there.?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As per Donnie's post, there's too many variables involved to say 'This Android version will definitely give you better battery life than that version'. Personally, I get better battery life out of JB roms than I ever did out of GB or ICS roms, not that I got poor battery life out of either of those though. And the reason for that is I worked at it.

There's no magic simple A-B-C to better battery life, regardless of what rom/kernel/Android version you're running, you have to experiment & try stuff out to find out what works with the way you use the phone/have it setup.

People who complain about battery life & attempt to pin it on the particular Android version they're running tend to have a really poor understanding of 'how it all works', because it isn't that simple as I've said.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie Sins:
People can also update their phones because of other reasons than battery life. ICS was the best for me with battery usage, but after JB downgrading isn't an option for me as I would miss to many new features and other additional functions.

The choice is yours to make. If you are satisfied now, I would stick to 2.3.6 if I where you. If you are curious about other versions -newer or older- try those;)

My suggestion is to use Linux to do the process , I did it first attempt . Just make sure you sudo get adb and fastboot and you are good to go . If you don't have linux I suggest dual booting it will get the job done .

It seems when you turn that fast boot option OFF it kept USB debugging on. At least it did for me.

USB ports

I was having the exact same problem, dumping out to a WTF error on Pouring 1. I tried everything on the planet, but what eventually fixed it for me was switching USB ports.

Ironically, it was a USB 3.0 port that worked for me. But my tower has, easily 10 USB ports on the backside. Try different ports. That's the only change I made, and it went from that exact failure to a first try success.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Mike02z:
I am running VANIR and liking it so far. I'm sure I'll try them all eventually. Never had much luck with PAC on any of my previous devices and Liquid was always good but lacked some features I wanted. CM is always another option as well. Whatever you pick now, you will probably change as now that we have a simple S-Off my guess is we will have a LOT more choices soon.

Verizon HTC One software version & rumrunner

Prior to implementing any Rumrunner S-OFF mod, I notice that Verizon pushed a "minor" OTA upgrade last week. It might have been .8 prior to the OTA and is now showing a long string for the ID; both revs are being shown.

When I query my software on the phone now, I see: "...1.10.605.10-1.10.605.8_R2". I'm not sure what it showed prior to receiving the OTA push...

Question, which version of the software should be downloaded, at least initially? The .10 or the .8? I assume the .8_R2 implies the tweak to .8 and the .10 means the push is applied... Any recommendations?

At least to try until our screen is officially supported.
[Sony Xperia L] Crytech:
There is actually no need to vote.

I have seen many apps like UCCW, Zooper which support "Usable screen resolution" [ Like the leftover after statusbar, navigation bar ]. So they will never support 480x854 because its not a standard and "Proportionate resolution". Also tagged as FWVGA.

Same is the case about themer. So if you use Xposed module to make Navigation bar 54 pixels or by framework-res decompiling method, and hide statusbar on homescreen, then you can get 480x800 resolution and then you will be able to use it.

This is tested by me ;)
[Sony Xperia L] The "A" Factor:
That's what I'm saying ... Even without changing the the size of Nav Bar, all the default or best themes that they have showcased in the site can be applied on Xl .

That's why I think voting still counts , as I've too been using Themer and I can apply by restoring them through Exported list, and they fit Perfectly on XL ...

But then problem is that there is no external site through which we can download the themes as Zip and I have to rely on others who have the resolution supported to download the theme then export it and then share it .

So basically what I suggest is that Themer app devs can easily add our resolution to their supported list in code ,and maybe just put up a disclaimer that this is experimental and some themes might not fit the resolution.

The fact that they have totally disable the access to themes section is Totally wrong according to me .
