Ok before anyone starts raging, I've already searched around the forum and seen some say BLN is a battery drain and others saying it isn't. I'm curious as to what peoples experience has been with it on all the new 2.2.1 ROMs.
Drains probably 2% more total during the day for me

BLN Control....Theres A Free And Paid Version
It Dnt Drain Battery That Much..just COntrol it by using the app
MY sugestion USE noLED app it shuts off your soft buttons so they wont light up and noLED is way cooler PP
from what i've read from neldar himself (the guy the introduced the bln code, and created the bln settings app, and using the pro version you can control blinking, schedule when the bln on is implemented and when it isn't, etc), he's seen it only uses 0.85% of your total battery.

Care to share the reasons why? Thanks...
you guys are so paranoid about 1-3% battery life.
I'm using CM7, and i have bln set to always on (as flashing bln eats up more battery, plus the normal Cm7 stuf doesn't support blinking bln). I get ~45 hours of battery life. For those that think bln eats up battery, it's only placebo effect.

CM7 hasn't had any added in blinking support since about April. There is one kernel that doesn't use LEDNotify, but rather the actual bln code. But I will have my led lights on for hours at a time, sometimes the entire night, and I still get nice battery life.
As for Samsung roms, I compared both blinking and non blinking, and tlfor me the difference was negligiable (sp?).
But seriously, stop worry about these stupid 1-2% and enjoy your phone.

^ the question was posed before people KNEW how much of a % it took, lets not be harsh. Not sure how you are getting near 2 days of battery life. I assume you mean if you just leave it sitting... not a very good indicator for real life. I think 10 hours is more like it.
I've been using BLN control pro with bi-winning for a month or two now and have noticed no difference in battery beyond normal variance.
I prefer BLN to noLED because I was never able to get noLED to work consistently.

the amount of battery it uses would probably be REALLY low and not high enough to notice.
When you turn your screen on to check the time for 2 secs that uses more battery than if you leave those lights alone and on for a hour or something.(inaccurate)
Dont worry about it, and it DOES turn off for you right?
mine blinks a few times, and turns off and blinks later.

Looking at the bln control appointment, it states that blinking will take considerably more power than just keeping the lights turned on.

More than likely because a program has to run that tells the LEDs when to turn on and off. LEDs don't use much power at all, so the power saved is moot because of the program that would need to be run in the background using CPU cycles.
That said bln uses a relatively insignificant amount of battery life, even with blinking, i maybe get 10-20 minutes less battery life over the course of a day as a result of bln. imo worth it for the added functionality.
also i dont think its possible to light up individual buttons, if im not mistaken the capacitive buttons are lit by a single led, which is why on some phones you notice that the menu and search keys are slightly dimmer than the home and back keys

have you noticed that when you press a capacitive button, it turns off to signify that you pressed it. Which leads me to believe that it is possible. I would imagine much harder to program though.

You sir, know not what you're talking about. Neldar, the person who originally got bln working, has stated that if the leds aare left on constantly, that it would only consume up to 2% of your total battery over a full charge.
But to flat out say "bln consumes a lot of power" as a statement of fact, then say it uses 5% per hour I estimate" as pure guess work is just rediculous. What have you tested to arrive at your conclusion? What are your variables, and what is your control?

the reason you can't do the individual buttons is because it would require a lot of reverse engineering the button binaries. And the reward is not nearly worth the work involved in it.

Makes perfect sense. I just like the fact that we can have bln in lieu of an actual notification led.
And I think devs and themers pretty much have the same attitude as far as the whole work vs. payoff thing is concerned.

Test it yourself. It's not guess work, I've tested it multiple times by sending a text to myself when I go to bed to leave the bln lit while I sleep. 4 hours was approximately 20% drain...with bln off 4 hours approximately 7% drain.
Edit: no wifi, data off also. Phone set exactly the same.

Hi guys,
In my opinion, the notification LED blinks way too slow in Atrix... I used "Blink" application from the market when i had Froyo to change that but it doesn't work in Gingerbread
Does anyone know how to change that notification LED blink rate for received SMSs? Any working applications or configurations?
Thanks in advance

What about Handcent? I know you can adjust the blink rate on notifications as a whole or per contact...
I was looking for a way to control LED colors. Thanks for the tip in LightFlow. Just set it up and it works great! Now when I see green I know what the notification is versus before it could be anything.

Never used blink so wouldn't know... and well... I highly doubt the led will burn out... they tend to have very long lives... if it burns I would prob say just really bad luck... its not a bulb afterall, its a LED... Not to mention the BLN app which is used on the galaxy s and galaxy s2 for the backlight leds of the softkeys to come on for notifications is based off that due to lack of any actual notification LED...
But its your call... I would just say look around for if keeping those leds on constantly will cause any harm... if not... go for it...

None if you care about battery.
NoLED turns on the screen and I believe also inhibits deep sleep - it'll eat battery like crazy.
BLN isn't implemented for our phones yet - I tried porting a patch for the I9100 kernels but I screwed something up, if the notification light is on, the code holds a wakelock that prevents deep sleep. As a result, that BLN implementation ate battery too. I'm hoping to eventually get it working sanely, but it's much lower on my priorities list now.

I can say, that for me, this is a big deal. I almost switched to another carrier's S2 because of it. After reading the reviews, I'm glad I didn't.
This is a great phone. Battery was a concern, but after a few battery cycles and turning wifi off, it now kicks ass for such a powerful phone.
The LEd notification light would have made it the perfect phone...lol

Hopefully eventually we'll get BLN that's stable AND doesn't wakelock the phone - but I am thinking that right now the reason it's stable is because it isn't holding excessive wakelocks.

Since noled turns the screen on, but bln doesn't, and they both inhibit deep sleep, wouldn't even this flawed BLN implementation be better than NoLed for those who really need some sort of notification light?
Its weird how this phone needs a custom kernel for BLN. The Thrill I returned had an app in the market that worked for BLN, all it needed was root. It was sweet too: you could choose different blinking combos for different notifications.
I can't complain though, this phone more than makes up for that in so many other ways. Its just a matter of time before we have it. Plus this phone has the built in option to keep those on with the screen. I was so excited when I saw that.

Hmm... I'll consider it, user clue-factor and reading comprehension HAS been better than I expected based on my past experience with the Infuse. (I was expecting to have a bunch of overclock instability reports despite the giant red text, like a bunch of Infuse ROM devs had. But I haven't and as a result haven't had to yank OC from the kernel.
Maybe tomorrow... Too late for tonight's release, that's in testing.

Are you using it on the GSII?
Ive been using NoLED from the beginning and my battery life is outstanding. I guess results may vary.
I have recently realized that my phone had a lag/delay when turning of the screen to the lockscreen. When I press the power button, it would take about 1-1.5 seconds after I press the button for the screen to actually turn on. This does not happen while charging for me, only on battery. After screen on, the UI runs fine. This also never happened to me when I was on Gingerbread roms.
I am currently running Serendipity 9.2 with Cherrypicker kernal because I like the UI, but I still get the screen-on lag
I have tried ShoStock 2, Foxhound, AOKP, Serendipity 9, Mystic and ShirShirRomICS
and comboed those with all of the different kernals: Siyah, Fluxxi, Cherrypicker and NEAK. All this to no avail
I was wondering if this is only happening to me, because it slightly annoys me that I need to wait, since it makes the phone feel like its not as speedy as it should be.
If somebody can help me solve this I will be SOO GRATEFUL!
Thank you so much!
I forget which thread but entropy said screen delay is about that long now. Its a Samsung thing that can't be worked around

Takes mine an avg of .5 seconds. Sometimes it's almost instant, other times it's near 1 second, but the avg would be close to .5 - I wonder if that will change the longer I've got this phone?

Try upping your lowest frequency step if you have your min set to 100/200mhz on your governor, change it to 500mhz and see if it stops happening. (Works for me, only happens on certain I/O schedulers and governors however.)

On demand and noop were the most stable for me. However it varies by device, not all sgs2 are created equal. I would suggest trying a few and see which runs most stable for your phone as the kernels governors vary (I was experiencing this issue with siyah and Neak on various aokp builds (35-37). Conservative/noop & vr with Neak and powersaver & performance / cfq & vr for both on siyah)
Currently on stock aokp 6-3 with tasks kernel, he truly overhauled the kernel, works better than any alternate kernel I've run so far with no issues on any oc/uc/uv settings.

If I recall correctly from the discussion many months ago (I think it was in Entropy's DD kernel thread for GB) there is basically a .65 second delay from power button press to screen on when waking from deep sleep on the SGS2 - and this is a hardware limitation, not software.
When you are seeing quicker screen wakes it is because the device was not in deep sleep at the time of the press of the power button. In the case of waking from a non-deep-sleep condition, probably the lowest idle clock speed or current clock speed (set by whatever background process has the phone awake) will be the controlling factor in how fast the screen wakes up.
I could be completely wrong here...someone please correct me if so...

Yes it is possible to turn off deep sleep. There is an app in the market called "wakelocker" or something similar. You can find references to it in the very early ICS ROMs for the i777, as it was used to avoid the random screen-ons we were having. It can be set up to hold a permanent wakelock.
However, you should expect to drain between 5 and 10% battery per hour idle if you are wakelocked all the time. In other words, your battery life will completely tank if you do this. Most people around here do anything and everything they possibly can to prevent wakelocks, as this is the best way to improve device-idle battery life. As someone mentioned in the AOKP thread, screen on delay is a sign of good sleepiness (or something like that - I'm paraphrasing cause I don't want to bother to go look)... If I were you, I'd leave it be...
My SGS2 has a 5-6 seconds delay before waking up from deep sleep. I noticed that after I take the phone away from my ear after a call the screen takes very long to turn back on, as if the proximity sensor is sleeping away.
This is definitely not because of my last firmware update because it simply didn't happen after I installed it. It was just impressively fast. This new behavior started about 3-4 weeks ago, I can't figure out right now whether I installed something that could produce such behavior.

Mine used to do the same. After a new aokp build 36 Install the lag went away- maybe a coincidence?

Yeah,mine as well and have no idea if it's a coincidence,seems like an old radio will get back to work after some beats...
Yeah as said above, it is a hardware thing combined with the state of the processor. The reason some people's turn on very rapidly is because their processor is already doing something, aka not sleeping. You should have at minimum probably a half second to maximum 2 second delay from pressing the button to your screen coming on. Otherwise your battery would be terrible.

How does HTC do it then? My wife's stock Inspire wakes literally instantly, and its idle battery drain is even better than my S2 running AOKP/Fluxi. This is proof to me that Samsung could be designing things a little better...
