Friends, last night I set a custom reference in Betterbatterystats and left my phone on my nightstand. When I woke up this morning battery was down from 23 percent to 4 percent. Deep sleep 89% (not bad, right?) . When i checked kernel wakelocks the major culprit was l2hscic which had...

I have the gmail app installed. I use it as my only email app. It is set to auto sync. Does the push gmail use up a lot of battery? Is it better for battery life to use an app like K-9 mail which syncs at intervals ?

This is an account of my own struggles with flashaholism and I am writing it because I dont have a life, have too much time on my hands and yes, in the hope that it will help some noob like me who is also a flashaholic. Lets get the basics out of the way first.. Flashaholism is an addiction...

Here I am with another wakelock :( My GS2 seems to be pulling new ones out of a hat lately. StartingAlertService wakelock has been plaguing me since yesterday. It is now at the dubious No.1 position in Partial Wakelocks. I did some googling and found that it is related to the calendar. I...

Starting yesterday, my battery life on Neatrom JB has deteriorated catastrophically. While i was getting 2 hrs 30 mins of screen time (Thanks to Battery Saving Guide), since yesterday the battery is draining rather fast. The only change I have made is that I installed the GoLauncher from...

Hey folks, This is a query about Betterbatterystats. Time and again i have found that experienced people say its best to set a custom reference to evaluate and eventually improve battery life. My question is what exactly is a custom reference? How do i set it? What can i gain from...

Is it necessary to cover the Galaxy S2 using a back cover? I mean is the plastic back very frail? I am presently using an Amzer TPU gel back cover, but it absolutely destroys the sleek and sexy look of my GS2... What say?? Ironass, butt in here, will you (pun intended :) ) ?

This is one of the best JB Roms I have tried and yet there is no mention of it on our forums. Here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903162 The Rom is extremely smooth (butter indeed :) ). The developer is awesome and very responsive. The rom is updated almost...

Hi friends, My GS2 randomly loses connection to the mobile data network (while showing all the 5 signal bars). Sometimes it comes back on by itself, sometimes it doesnt. What could be the problem? Is it possible that my efs folder is corrupted? Ironass, hawker, please help. Looks...

Hi all, While I am fairly new here and to the android world as well, I have, within the short span of time that I have had my beloved S2, flashed the following custom roms on it: Supernexus JB rom Resurrection Remix Rootbox MIUI cMIUI (JB) Neatrom Lite JellyBam Sensation 4.1 So,7...

My question may be very very juvenile (in the context of the android world) but it has bothered me again and again and so here i come seeking resolution. In my various sojourns into different roms, I have observed, that notifications (which to me are one of the most important feature of...

Alright mates, This is NOT a guide to the MIUI rom. I am nowhere close to being an expert on Roms or anything really as Ironass, Hawker, Syd etc will readily attest to (heck, they may even swear affidavits to that effect :D ). This is merely a record of my own first impressions of the MIUI rom...

hey, I have read on this forum that killing tasks uses more battery.How does this work? i dont have a task killer installed, but i do long press on the home key and swipe away apps that i am not using. Does this amount to task killing?

Hello guys, All the threads i found about keyboards were at least a year old and hence the new thread. Hopefully it will help other new android users as well. Since I came over to android from Blackberry, the biggest bone of contention i have with touchscreens is typing speed. My...

Hey guys, I didnt find an answer to this anywhere. I am currently running Supernexus JB Rom on my S2. This was the first rom I flashed after rooting and since then I have always flashed JB roms (but I came back to Supernexus JB in the end). My question is, is there any advantage to...

Hey all, I am looking for a great alternative to the official twitter app. While the official twitter app is adequate, the notifications are unreliable. Sometimes i get push notifications and sometimes i dont. I also have Plume installed but even that isnt very reliable for...

Hey guys, My question is about juice defender ultimate. I have a rooted Galaxy S2. I am running the SuperNexus Rom (Zero Bloatware) with Dorimanx 7.4 kernel on battery profile. I like receiving push notifications from gmail and twitter instantly. Is there any way juice defender...
