guys, mind to share the battery usage of Android OS on your device? Mine has been 30~40% during the first couple of chargings. Ytd it was 12% after fully charged and slowly crept its way up to 22%. Does it mean i have SERVICES instead of APPLICATIONS running in the background? I'm on stock rom, so all the samsung hubs are running in the background and syncing data i guess. anyway to freeze them?

AOS percentage will went up when idle cz its relative percentage of overall usage.

But i've seen values as low as a constant 9% on my friend's device. Android os is high simply means alot of services/ apps running in background? I'm aware of the fact that apps running won't drain battery life since android knows how to manage the apps, but not the same case for services that might send/receive data in the background? So my intention is to find out these running services that drain my batt life, i'm suspecting all the samsung hubs though. Most rooted users would have these frozen but i'm on KI1 stock rom, G version user here. =/

Android OS percentage will increase if your phone is idle most of the time. The percentage figure is the battery usage, x of (y-z); y = total battery; z = balance left. Here is my usage....

Lol, the value is simply per 100% lar. If your display eats 60%, and you have nothing else running, what do you think will eat the other 40%. Of course whatever is running in the background as part of the OS aka AOS.

More stuff you have running, or the more stuff YOU HAVE RUN during the time you spend unplugged, the less time is allocated to AOS as a result. Example on Bugeca's screenie above.

Want lower AOS values? Use more stuff on your SGS2 lah.

About AOS killing battery life, dun worry, wakelocks are the one responsible for idle battery drain. AOS includes wakelocking processes, but it also includes normal, non WL processes so you can't really take it as an indication of battery drain.

Just get betterbatterystats and watch for wakelocks.

Charge your phone to 100%. After that unplug charger and keep screen on until batt low. Guarantee your screen usage at least 80 - 90% and android process very low. Problem solve. doh.gif

As explain before, batt draining cannot see from batt usage but usually from wakelocks that prevent your device from sleeping.

QUOTE(madlocke @ Oct 1 2011, 03:37 PM)
u use less, AOS will increase, coz display % decreases.. mine if AOS the top %, no problem for my phone to last more than 1 day..

the display is the one draining most of my battery esp when i do browsing and gaming..

Thank you guys for the explanation, really enlightened me on the battery usage, will download the app and monitor the wakelocks smile.gif Report back soon.

does the proximity sensor turn itself on all the time? it's the red colour light beside second camera if i guess it right. it turns off after i end a call but tends to turn on again without u knowing it.

Anyone using betterbatterystats? I'm seeing alot of items in partial wakelocks but i have no idea what to do about them, nor do i have knowledge of how to stop these services/apps as most of them have unfamiliar names.

I've send my phone SGS2 to Service Center plaza in Petaling Jaya. It has taken ONE WEEK and they told me they're changing my parts.

I hope the technician DOESN'T change my CHIPSET from
Exynos 4210 SoC CPU and ARM Mali-400 GPU
to
Texas Instruments OMAP4430 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU.

I ish worries now. sad.gif

Just to share how to check the model whether is it i9100 or i9100G

They state it's 1.2ghz on the box but it's actually 1.0. When i came to know of this i was like wtf, seriously.

Stucked at boot screen S with yellow triangle.

And they told me they're changing parts. As far as i know, they just have to reflash. But....the technician told me they're waiting for parts arrival. I'm puzzled

U rooted your phone and just sent back without flashing back to ori? I tot they will take that as a void warranty.
Can we root the G version yet?

yes it is draining battery. Apparently only G set users are having this problem. I've raised this issue few days ago but no solution yet. Probably will opt to send back for warranty.

hmm...so far speed i tink no problem la..just think a bit overpaid for a slightly inferior device...anyway, after 1 week of using this phone, i encountered 2 major problems:
1)Data stalling issues...won't work even after i turn off the HSDPA as suggested by other forumers...In my case, i have to reboot everytime to get back data connection. Not working even even turning on and off the flight mode

2) The red light of the proximity sensor...

But today just updated my firmware OTA to 2.3.5. Seems like the data problem is solved(fingers crossed) but the red light still persist. Also, i tink the battery life kinda poor
*
No data stalling for me, but the signal on my device does change alot which leads to slower response.
And yea, proximity sensor and battery. Hell my phone is awake quite alot. =/

I think it's a limitation if u're using the android fb app. For full functionality u needa use the desktop site.

Btw, anyone wants to start a bulk on this? rclxms.gif

If you're using stock browser..type 'about:useragent'. Then click to desktop..:-)

For my case, it changed back to custom no matter how many times i tried selecting desktop.
Better still, get dolphin browser hd and you can change the useragent in settings. Not to mention that it's faster and has alot of plug-in supports. biggrin.gif

The Droidax pack? I'm looking into it, but as always there must be sufficient interest (as I don't run an actual business).

5-6 people pm me with interest is enough edi.

Though I'm actually waiting for the Powerskin pack for our SGS2 - I have protective film on my SGS2 (amongst other things lol) and hard packs don't usually fit well due to the film getting in the way (which broke my old Samsung pack). The PS will be silicone/rubber based so it will less of a problem.

Still waiting for the guy to post up reviews though.
I've a few others in my mind : Ori samsung batt cover which requires import (1300maH)
Momax ex (2700)
Mugen (3200)

Anyway, I the first with interest biggrin.gif

I've used 2 of the ones in he list (the Momax and the Samsung Pack) the Samsung Battery Pack ain't worth the price. And you don't have to even import, it's available locally.

The Droidax is better value, especially taking into account it has the all important power button.
*
Dam, the seller in pyramid told me have to import, and till today i haven't got the reply LOL.
Momax is abit bulky and weird looking but not really my concern. If droidax is really good then I'd give it a try. Please count me in biggrin.gif

So I shall be happy having one biggrin.gif

Btw, why do you say that it has many rom to play with? Sorry ah, not so familiar with these.

That means apart from the stock rom in your device, you get to choose from many of the custom roms developed by other users. Generally gives u more access to themes and better performance as most of the custom roms have been tweaked for better performance. Currently only non G users have the privilege of flashing custom roms to their device.
