[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawnblade:
I hade same problem

I managed to drop my 2 weeks old GalaxySII in water. The left side of the phone was in sea water for maybe 2 seconds.

I dismounted the battery and tried to blow on it.

That war 10 days ago. Now that the warranty is gone and insurance dont cover anything I yesterday decided to disassemble it and try to clean it with filtered water.

Well the salt had dried and started to corrode on the circuits. It did not look promising but i gave it a try anyway. I used Electrical Cleaner and even bathed the circuit board in lukewarm water. The salt would not come off.

I dried then assembled the phone and pressed the power button with a spark of hope... nothing happened :(

So my conclusion is DO NOT BADE YOUR SMARTPHONE IN SEA WATHER!!

At least if your unlucky and it is to late put it in your pocket and annoy someone to push you into the sea. Then at least the insurance covers it :D

I guess my next phone will be a Motorola Defy+ or a Samsung Galaxy Xcover since i have a bad habit of breaking my phone.

Hello,

As you are aware I'm new to the forum.

To keep it simple this is what I'd like.

I'm not very technically knowledgeable and I do usually search things for myself but in the risk of stuffing up my new Smartphone completely I thought I'd better ask some experts.

My TP2 is currently running Windows Mobile 6.1 happily, I'd like to upgrade it to 6.5 as I've heard it's better. (Also is & possible on a TP2? :rolleyes: ) I'd like step by step instructions because I just learnt what a .cab file is and i successfully installed my first to stop the bloody phone unlocking when I receive a text. Just want to know also, how do I back up my phone in the emergency case and will i lose all my contacts and files if i upgrade?

Anyway thanks in advance, I'd be happy for someone to refer me to another site or thread and sorry to waste your time if this has already been asked.

[Fascinate General] phispher:
I think I know what might be causing the battery drain. I did the full charge/power off/full charge/reset stats thing last night. Then I left it off the charger starting at 11pm. Woke up at 5am and the battery was almost drained. That's horrible. Yes I had turned off mobile data as well. It was on wifi only. Add to that, I had JuiceDefender installed to see if it would help. It didn't. What was interesting though was what JuiceDefender's log was reporting to me. JuiceDefender was set to bring connections online every 15 min. However, the log showed a process activating EVERY minute and using the data connection. WTF!? Every minute! This has to be what is draining the battery. So I downloaded a network traffic analyzer (Network Counter is what it's called) and checked what it said was the data usage for all the apps. My Exchange AOSP email client was using a huge amount, 135MB in total compared to the rest and I didnt receive any emails last night. None! So I removed my exchange account temporarily and suddenly, those every minute hits stopped. I noticed that the device charged faster too. This morning, I googled and found this thread on xda:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=868993

I think this is the culprit, at least for me. My question to everyone else seeing huge drains is: are you on exchange email as well? Post your comments here, I'm pretty sure this is the culprit but more testing needs to be done today.

Btw, I'm on superclean 1.0 just fyi.
[Fascinate General] ChrisDDD:
Sounds like you could be onto something. My battery has actually been quite good (~36 hours of moderate use), but I don't use Exchange at all. It'd be great if you narrowed the problem down to those using Exchange.
[Fascinate General] phispher:
Just an update:

I installed an app from the market called 'Enhanced Email', it's a Touchdown competitor but only cost 1.99, much better then 20 bucks and it integrates with stock calendar and contacts, which I like. Push email is working great, I'm getting emails instantly. However, the every minute polling isn't occuring still, as it did in the AOSP email client.

I'm curious if anyone still on 2.1 who uses Exchange email (Push) would care to install Juice Defender and check the log out for the every minute data usage and report back here, would be a nice test. Make sure you remove exchange first, check the logs and verify that the polling either exists every minute or not. Then setup exchange and check again. Report back with results. I may do this myself evenutally. Easier if someone else is still on 2.1 though.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
I am going to look into this. Just curious. Originally, how was your exchange setup? When on DL09 super clean 0.4 I had a 30 minute email check frequency, contact and calendar sync OFF and was seeing moderate battery drain where my phone wouldnt make it though a whole day if i had more that normal usage. Watching logcat, it seemed that my corporate email account would be doing something much more often then 30 minutes though. Will try this and see what happens.

Just upgraded to Superclean 1.0 DL30. Will try JuiceDefender.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Which version of juice defender are you running? I just installed "Juice Defender - battery saver" but i cant seem to customize anything. I want to set it to every 15 minutes like you do but all this app lets me do is pick pre-made settings. Do I need to get the paid (Ultimate Juice) or something else?
[Fascinate General] Retsik:
I encountered the same problem... I use several email account types (Exchange / IMAP / POP) and it ate my battery alive after going to DL30.

On a hunch that it may be caused by some glitch when Titanium Backup restored my old 2.1 email account information over 2.2, I deleted all email accounts and re-entered them manually. A pain in the backside to do, but the problem hasn't reappeared yet.

Hope this helps!
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Did that include google accounts?
[Fascinate General] phispher:
I do have the paid version, yes. I believe that by default, it's set to 15 min, so you should be ok with the free version. However, that won't stop the polling I saw occur with the AOSP email client. The JuiceDefender log showed me that that was going on. Once I disabled my exchange account, the polling stopped. Since I changed my email program, I haven't seen it come back. The verdict is still out on if this solves my battery issue, as I'm at work and 'plugged' in lol. Could be multiple issues here, but again, the more info we have out there, the better right?

I would try what Retsik did, I didn't import my settings though but maybe reapplying the settings will work.

I haven't seen this occur for gmail accounts. Just exchange.
[Fascinate General] Xanius:
I have my exchange server set up on my phone and have it set to do push notifications. I get my email just fine and my battery lasts all day with no problems.

The phone drains a bit faster when in use than it used to but I think that's because it was under-volted before.
[Fascinate General] Retsik:
Yes - I'm not sure if it made any difference, but I deleted all account information and re-added them just to be sure.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Where do you see the polling in the JD log? Im looking at the Activity Log under the status tab but I dont see anything about email in there. Mostly just looks like JD activities.
[Fascinate General] mastamoon:
Wonder if this has anything to do with battery drain?

Every 10 seconds, my phone is either downloading or uploading something. Its always at a 2kb/s rate. I killed every task I could on my phone, one by one and cant kill this off. So it must be a system process.

But sometimes I will look at the widget and it shows no transfer, no heartbeat like this... then it starts up again. Only way I have been able to stop it is to turn off wifi and mobile data.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
What widget is that?
[Fascinate General] Smeed:
Has anyone done tests with wifi off? I'm not positive, but I seem to get much better battery life, along with no clock lag when I have my wifi disabled.
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
1 thing I know for sure is that when I have Bluetooth on (DL30) my battery drains like crazy.

I just installed the app OS Monitor and its showing /system/bin/sensorserver_yamaha is consistently using a high amount of CPU. I am using Screebl, so I may disable it to see if that helps.

UPDATE: Yeah, it was screebl that was causing sensorserver to use high CPU. Gonna disable that for now to see how things go.

That app is network speed monitor widget. At idle, my phone shows nothing - 0 KB.
[Fascinate General] danwanna:
I've also found disabling AutoRotate from the notification menu to help with battery life and eliminate the sensor from my list of top battery users...

Guessing Samsung has a bug in the latest version of the sensor...
[Fascinate General] danwanna:
Thanks for the recommendation on Enhanced Email. I've been using Touchdown for about a year because the stock mail app doesn't support my company's Exchange policies but I hated having separate calendar and contacts. I just installed Enhanced Email and removed Touchdown. I'm a little concerned that Enhanced isn't actually supporting all the policies and is only reporting that it does, but I'll play dumb for now.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
I installed the EnhancedEmail as suggested. I think I am seeing an improvement using it but only when using push email. When I had it set for poll every 15 minutes, I was getting a lot of drain. I need to give this setup more time to test though.
[Fascinate General] bmcgoo45:
Better with Enhanced Email

I installed the "Enhanced Email" at 10 this morning. It's now 2:30 and i've only lost 5% battery. Using Juice defender and wifi off. This is much improved for me and similar to what i was getting with DL9.

I'm using stock DL30.
[Fascinate General] fifreak:
Now Im not so sure this was a great improvement. My battery drained quickly yesterday evening. I'm pretty sure that the network speed monitor widget was the main culprit but I disabled that and still saw a lot of drain. Also the system process mmcqd is by far taking up the most cpu. Trying to investigate that.

[XPERIA X2 General] abhishek.hitman:
Dear all,

I just saw in se-nse.net forum under the thread "Firmware List from SEUS" that the latest firmware for X2 is R3AC036.

Can someone help me out if this firmware can be installed on my phone.

My phone currently has R3AA035 firmware, GENERIC_SG. I live in India. I'm unable to update to this R3AC036 firmware using SEUS.

How do i update to that firmware. I read on some forums that this firmware has more updates.

Please let me know. Thanks in advance. :)
[XPERIA X2 General] fire-warrior:
the update is in Chinese language you can check this thread for changes(use google translate)

[XPERIA X2 General] abhishek.hitman:
No english firmware R3AC036 for Xperia X2?

Thank you very much. But i came to know about this firmware update after looking at this very link. Google's translation makes it all look crazy. :)

You're saying its a Chinese firmware, so that means there's no english firmware R3AC036? :confused:

Do you have an Xperia X2? Does it give good battery life?

My X2's battery gets drained really fast. I tried disabling Slideview and Panels but i did not see any drastic change. I reset the device to factory settings. Deleted a few unnecessary panels and the battery seems to last similar to when i disabled Slideview and Panels. :mad:

I really like Slideview and SPB panel. I just don't feel like deleting everything this phone was actually advertised for. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] fire-warrior:
yes i have x2,the battery life is really good with moderate usage last 2 days

as for the panel system I've disabled it using sktools... for 2 reasons ... memory depleting and power hungry.
[XPERIA X2 General] indycar:
is there more info on this thing ?
[XPERIA X2 General] abhishek.hitman:
No i guess not until some expert advice is seen here. I'm hoping someone here might look up into the highlights in the new update and whether there's an English version of R3AC036 for Xperia X2.

Would definitely love to have a perfectly functioning X2 instead of compromising by deleting and disabling everything in it.

Seniors please help us. :(
[XPERIA X2 General] abhishek.hitman:
Experts, any help?
[XPERIA X2 General] fire-warrior:
i think any one can update to this firmware by avery simple solution

-change language to chinese then update with seus , full description here

then you would get the new update,but the question is "can you revert back to your original rom???"
[XPERIA X2 General] abhishek.hitman:
Hey, thank you, but that method looks a bit risky to me. If something goes wrong, the phone won't even have the customizations in its ROM to bring it back to normal.

Its strange that no one is talking about this new firmware in Xda. There must have been some reason SE has released the firmware update.

I'm wondering why SE hasn't released this new firmware for all regions? :(

I dont think that would solve his problem. Did you try updating on fresh installation of win 7. there should not be any problem with the os or the drivers because i've updated my X2 so many times with win 7.

Just let us know what method you're following after starting SEUS. Does your phone act normal when you do what you're supposed to do during that.

Is there anybody from China here in XDA who has an X2 and has updated their firmware? They would be the best people to explain the difference(s) between 035 and 036 firmwares. Please do not hyperlink to chinese forums and suggest using google translation. :p

Clearly explain the changes you've noticed in your X2 (better or worse, and how)

[Nook Color General] jbright44:
Hey guys I tried searching but came up empty handed here.

Whenever I put my nook in standby (push power button or it automatically does it with inactivity) the wifi connection turns off. I've got it set to do that in spare parts so that it only stays "awake" while charging and not while idle.

The problem is it doesn't do that. Regardless of if it's charging or not, whenever I wake it up, even though wifi is enabled in the settings, it doesn't search on connect to my network. I have to go into Setting -> Wireless and as soon as I go into that menu, it finally connects automatically. It won't do it unless I go to that menu.

I'm rooted with the 1.0.1 Autonoonter btw.
[Nook Color General] miemens:
Mine was doing something similiar. For me, it kept hanging up on obtaining an IP. I used an app called Wifi Static (free in the market) to set up a static IP and haven't had any problems since. Wifi seems to shut itself off way less often and when it does, it only takes 1-2 seconds to auto reconnect. Don't know if it will help you or not, but it's worth a try.
[Nook Color General] Quilombo:
Have you done any modification of the wifi settings at all? Like the ad-hoc supplicant mod?

Im not sayin its Darky's rom prob, but I just cant seem to find any setting which changes it to scrollable.

n00b,

I love your work. You're an amazing developer, you're a nice guy, and you contribute a lot to these forums. Everyone likes you and you're somewhat of a legend around here.

However, to have someone to leak you unpublished work from a huge corporation is incredibly risky. The NDA's that people sign are pretty iron clad that if they leak information, they won't be able to have a job anymore. Their trust is completely lost if they get caught and they'll have trouble finding work elsewhere. They might even face jail time and fees. That's how serious this stuff is.

I'm as anxious as the next guy in order to get the new modem, froyo, and other mods. However, if you're REALLY interested in developing... why not join the machine? AKA try to get a job with Sprint, Samsung, Motorola, HTC, etc.? You can use all of us for references! Seriously, why not turn your hobby into real money with a career with them? To program for Android in the Bay Area would net you atleast over $100K a year!
[Epic 4G General] Milkman00:
As someone who works for a large corporation, I can tell you that the companies in question probably have people just as good as n00b employed with them (not to take anything away from n00b since his work around here has been awesome). The problem in these large companies isn't talent (IMO) as much as it is the RED TAPE. Some of the red tape is needed, but probably like 5% of it.

[Epic 4G General] cozmonot:
I would think that any reliable source that cared would have given it to him a long time ago. If they are willing to leak a new modem then why not just leak the kernel sources while they're at it..
[Epic 4G General] leatherneck6017:
DK28 was not leaked to devs. Our devs got their hands on it because someone with hardware version .4 got an OTA and worked with them to dump it to a useful format. The update.zip was also temporarily available on Google's servers.
