[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajayfafu:
My phone mic is not working. Sometimes after reboot it will start working, but after sometime it again stops working again.

I'm on 21/12/14 version of the ROM. In previous versions i didn't have this problem.

Is it hardware related or software related?

It also came to notice that sometimes when i'm on call, when screen switches off (due to proximity sensor) the mic stops working. But when i keep phone little away and the screen is on, the mic starts working again.

Strange problem. Can anyone help?

Is your 2000mAh battery the genuine samsung (increased size), or just an oem one?

I tried Gustavo_s and DorimanX kernel but they didn't work well on my device. Gustavo was unstable, and with DorimanX and SlimSaber I have no Wifi.

Apolo seems to work well. I'm using slightly reduced voltages (900mV @ 200MHz, 950mV @ 500MHz, 1000mV@800MHz, 1100mV@1000MHz and 1200mV@1200MHz).

My S2 will eat approx 1% of battery per hour with Wifi, Mobile Data, Sync and Location all enabled. 4h screen time is realistic, but not much more as I never set the screen brightness to minimum.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glinaa:
Yes indeed (768MB + 4GB), and I'm not going back to stock partition tables.

This is a really weird bug in DorimanX and I'm surprised it's not being addressed, seeing as it's a known problem.

Anyhow I'm not missing anything from DorimanX with Apolo, which works great and has all the features I need.

I did, however, install DorimanX just to check Antutu numbers with a light overclock.

20711 points on SlimSaber (ART runtime) + DorimanX 10.44v008 and 1400MHz CPU / 400MHz GPU. Not too shabby for a i9100 :)

Without OC and on Apolo 7.2b2 I got 18137 points.

Found a little bug?

Hey all,

I think I just found a little bug in the usb storage option when you connect the phone to the computer.

When you connect your phone to the computer and for the first time choose the phone to be mounted as an USB Mass Storage, the phone is mounting the phone even if you don't click on the "Turn on USB storage" option. I don't think it is a critical bug, but I just letting you know.

As much as I've seen, it happens only on the first time, but I haven't checked it in depth.

I'm posting it here because I have less than 10 posts so I can't post it in the official thread.

Hope it helps!

BTW I'm using DorimanX kernel if it matters.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KouenHasuki:
Hey there, I hate to start my first ever post as a "help me plox!" post but alas I cant seem to find any answer around for my problem, though I could be somehow overlooking an exsisting answer to it.

This rom is running great on my S2 except for 1 issue I have come across which is that Chrome sometimes hard locks my S2, forcing me to have to hold the power button and eventually it reboots and then shows it has a very low battery.

no one website seems to cause this issue it feels its at random.

Here are some details on my phone setup

Baseband: i9100XXMS4

Kernel Version: 3.0.80-SlimKernel+

SlimSaber Version: 4.4.4-20141221

External SD: Trancend Premium 300x Class 10 UHS-I 16GB

GApps: Minimal Slim GApp package

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muthzer the One:
Well to be honest I think the problem is chrome itself, that's at least my experience. I'm using apolo kernel and I'll install chrome. If I have no problems I'll tell you. Using apolo might be a good idea for you then.

How often does it happen to you?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KouenHasuki:
It really seems at total random, I just last night tried Dorimanx (Latest version) but it still did it.

Hello, I am completely new here And i just recently stumbled into this thread in order to find a working ROM to keep my galaxy s2 running for more time. Before coming here i followed a tutorial And eventually installed the discontinue syah v6 beta kernel along with cwm(latest) And paranoid android 4.4(first stabile then beta 5) but stopped due to massive battery drain. I think i followed all the necessary steps to install this custom Kernel And the ROM And at the beginning it ran stable. However(And my suspicion was confirmed somehow by a review) when enabling zzmoove profile every once in a while (it happens twice a day And i have to power reset) my phone freezes during regular usage. Ad battery is a key priority to me how can i fix this? Will installing that 2015 ROM of a few posts above solve the problem? What does it xontain? Also: i've heard of a smartass v2 governo which i cant find in governor settings. Can I enable it? ( i recalibrated successfully gauge And also managed to put working NFC as i have gti9100p).

I probably had something else to ask That i forgot. Thanks in advance And sorry for mistakes as the keyboard translator kept working.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ed_android:
Hello again, And thanks for your reply! I flashed latest ROM And kernel and can confirm that deepsleep capabilities of my phone have skyrocketed And I Now consumer

just -2mv per hour.

On the opposite i have a problem the moment i start enabling WiFi on phone, here usage becomes MASSIVE when in fact in not even playing games or stuff. (Between -500 And -800mv!!). I have logged out of FB but i still round myself at the lower spectrum of this range, -500mv which basically erases my battery (still in good quality according to batt monitor) in approx 3 hours. I have no syncs or wakelocks according to BBS, just ma in api And placeholder wakelocks which leave me to wonder why it drains so much so quickly. I believe stock kernel was a tad better And i dont know what to do. Im using default ondemand And io governors. (The moment im writing this its -710mv estimated)

Edit: left the phone, it entered deep sleep but said -130mv when it was off...And Now that in using it the thing skyrocketed again. Its something kernel related but have 0 ideas

2nd Edit. It appears that removing battery 20 sec And rebooting brings values back to -2mv. The moment you turn WiFi on the thing screws up again. And of course its not viable to remove battery all time. Is there some kernel bug? Im getting more And more confused.

3rd edit. Bingo! I presume it is a kernel related error/problem. Check the screenshot with -370mv. After writing 2nd edit i stopped WiFi And Turned it off 20 seconds. Then i unlocked screen And checked battery monitor. It showed something in the -500mv range but updating it Every once in a few secs it progressively lowered until 370mv where it stopped lowering down. WiFi was off of course. Ibelieve that -370 should be a quite optimal battery drain for wifi as it should allow 5 hours of wifi screen time that is the best afaik possibile screetime. When i activate wifi it somehow doubles And never ever goes back to -2mv unless i remove battery. Could it be some conflicting kernel scripts? (I van positively confirm i kiled all partial wakelocks)

How to do this?

Hi all,

(Already posted this question in Development thread by mistake.)

I am giving my i9100 to friend of mine but would like to give it fresh and clean but still keep this great ROM.

Currently the phone is on SlimSaber 4.4.4. 20140928 which was incredibly stable, no issues at all. (Yes, thanks to FusionJack)

Is it wise to download latest version or keep current one? Which one would be newer but stable?

In any case I would really appreciate if someone can give simple instructions as I really forgot so much since I bought new phone.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I think stability hasn't changed. Any recent builds in my experience have been virtually flawless. Some users on this rom and others started complaining about wakelocks from play services draining battery and using more data. The latest build (from April) had fixes to address these wakelocks, and for that reason I would recommend installing this one.

To install just reboot into recovery, format /system and internal sd, wipe cache, dalvik cache. Then install the rom, install gapps package if you need play store and services, then wipe both caches again to be safe, then reboot into system.

Choose a 4.4.x gapps package from HERE if you're not sure what gapps to use. I use minimal gapps by [MENTION=5772029]jajb[/MENTION], but any 4.4.x gapps should work ok
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saber:
You meant any *small* or *minimal* gapps should be fine. ;)

[MENTION=4145700]exit-1[/MENTION], as a long term user of slimsaber and is currently using the latest build, I can safely say that the latest build is stable. noppy has already got the flashing process covered :)

Battery

I've seen lots and lots of discussions and tips about making the battery last longer between charges. But most things I tried (e.g. Greenify, CleanMaster, changing screen gamma, avoiding network speeds or frequent updates of the screen, disabling notifications from many apps) do not really provide me with long-enough battery life as some users have stated.

I use the stock kernel. I read that some kernels drain the battery more when the phone is in use while others drain it more when it's not in use.

I'm also not very experienced with different schedulers. I've tried a few that were supposed to bring me considerably more battery, but they proved to slow the phone down sometimes to a point that I cannot accept. I'll be happy to get a list of things that can be done to really improve the battery life. My battery is about 2.5 y/o (as is my phone...).

Same problem here...

I'm using a Galaxy SII with KitKat SlimSaber. Since Google Play Services 26th May update, this apk crashes all the time.

The only "solution" that seems to work is turning off the "high accuracy" location mode. It means using only GPS, without Wi-Fi accuracy.

Off course this is a momentary solution...

I tried almost everything (no one of these options works for me):

- Clear Google Play Services cache and data

- Uninstall Google Play Services updates (it works until restart, 'cause this apk has an auto-update impossible to disable)

- Uninstall Google Plaly Services updates, and then install a "previous" update, like 7.3 (works until restart)

- Factory Reset

- Re-flashing ROM

- Re-flashing SlimSaber gapps (mini)

- Flashing another gapps

- Reset App Preferences and restart device (some people say it works)
