I haven't been able to figure this out, maybe some of you have a solution.
I want the phone to go into battery saving (dim screen, lower sound, turn off wifi and other battery saving options) mode when ever I put it in my pocket.
I understand this might be the correct section to pay this but didn't know whether else to ask.

How, exactly, do you intend for the device to detect that it's in your pocket? The rest of what you ask would be quite easy to accomplish if you had a clear idea of how the profile would be triggered.
Proximity sensor would use up more battery than it would save. Light sensor wouldn't know the difference between a dark room and your pocket. Accelerometer wouldn't work either. If your phone was NFC capable, that could be an option.
You'd probably be better-served using something like JuiceDefender.

Hi guys, just wondering- I'm due to go on a long flight next week and was wondering is there a way to use stereo Bluetooth while on flight-mode?
I can't seem to find anyway to re-enable Bluetooth while on flight mode.
An alternative would be to turn off the mobile network some how without going into flight-mode? Is there a way.

Of course you can... I do it everyday at my gym. Just using SwitchPro Widgets and enabling "Turn off signal only" in Airplane Mode. Works great.
Well, you are by international laws not allowed to use any type of radio transmitter in an airplane since it can interfere with critical instruments in the aircraft. So please, obey the laws for the safety of you and your fellow travelers and get a wired headset, you'll conserve your battery as a bonus aswell!

So when you crash and burn due to cockpit instrument failure (well change in accuracy) we won't care either - well just for the others.
Turn the thing off when in the air. It DOES matter and it DOES affect flight instruments.

Is there a mod or app that makes sgs2 data connection behave like iPhone's? it only turns 3g on when you're actually using it... Only 2g stays on all the time...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
That would be nice, however i haven't seen anything like that. You can switch to 2g in the settings but that's about it, it can't switch between 2g/3g depending on usage.
closest thing you will find is juice defender... you can set it to disconnect 3g data when the screen is off..but it's not exactly like iphone setup.
Developers should try to develop something like this. The fact that the phone stays on 3g is one of the main causes of battery drain.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
owh...........
Why not set network type selection as one of your toggles ? How hard is it to pull down your notification/toggles panel, press the icon & manually set your network mode to 2G & leave it that way unless you specifically want to use 3G for something. Or switch it to 2G (or even flight mode) overnight/when you're not doing much with the phone ?
Takes all of two seconds On the other hand, you could get an iPhone.
Problem solved either way.
Re: your comment "developers should try to develop something like this, the fact the phone stays on 3G is one of the main causes of battery drain..." All I can say to this is. It's a smartphone, after all.

You have Juice Defender or several flavours of toggles to suit your needs... Also you can dump the SGS2 and get an iPhone
I tried using tasker to switch to 2g when the screen is off and go back to 3g when its back on but it doesn't seem to be working in cm7, even manually toggling 2g doesn't seem to work in cm7, it just disabled 3g and turns it back on.

Dude, I would never switch my galaxy for an iPhone, never. When I say that developers should try to copy this feature, it's a suggestion to improve Android phones. I'm not a developer, but if I were, I'd do it for sure, and I bet a lot of people would like it. I'm not shouting orders, if you're a developer and you felt offended by my suggestion, sorry.

I bought some NFC Tags to see if they would work on the Evo 4G LTE, and I was clueless! There was preformatted, ultra lights, and etc. I had no clue which ones would work. Turns out the first ones I tried, worked great on my EVO 4G LTE and Galaxy Nexus!

You're welcome. They are just cool, that's all. I truly can see the whole "CM9" and "Profiles" coming in handy! I would stick one in my truck and tap it every time I got in it, to set my phone to loud. lol
I can think of a few things to do with NFC tags, just need to get around to ordering a few.
Anyone have any recommendations on what to get? I'm assuming the larger capacity tags are good, esp for writing complex tasks.
I think NFC tags are rather useless. I keep wanting to use them but can't think of a useful way of using them. If want to put my phone on silent, I'll just use the volume rocker thank you very much. Could someone even tell me what complex task can't be done with just a few strokes?

I have 4 NFC tags.
1) For buddies that visit me frequently to launch Foursquare and check-in to my place quickly
2) A simple Normal to Silent profile toggle. Comes in handy when my daughter is napping. And is much quicker to use since I don't even have to unlock my phone to use it.
3) A switch that toggles a Do Not Disturb profile for bedtime. (I would not be able to toggle this easily without an NFC tag. I would have to set it to a specific time each day. Which is lame)
4) A switch at work that will put my phone into Vibrate mode and launch a ticketing website that I use for work. Then when tapped before leaving it puts my phone back into a Normal profile and sends a text to my wife telling her I'm on my way home. I keep this one by my light switch and turn my light on/off with phone in hand.
NFC tags aren't useful for everyone. But it's definitely helped me automate some of the more mundane and annoying tasks I do every day. And saves me a bunch of time doing them.
I think I need to get some of these...
I just got a pack of them and idk how i was able to live without them. One in the car that toggles betwin bluetooth on and wifi off abd it launches the music player. Other on my bed that turns all volumes down and my alarm sound up. They are nice to play with.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
1st: to make them more useful I used the mod to allow their use during screen off and lock. If I had to turn on the phone and unlock it NFC would be much less useful.
2nd: I don't have any complicated tags. The main one I use turns off wifi and toggles Bluetooth, and starts Multiplayer. So after I start driving I just have to touch the phone to the dash and my music wirelessly starts.
Its not complicated but it is much better than having to turn on the phone, unlock it, scroll to my widget and turn on Bluetooth. I never have to look down off the road.

Why does it have to be a complicated task? Why not just tap your phone to an NFC tag to mute it? or Pop open Pandora when you sit at your desk at work?
Yes, tasks are simple, but they are also repetitive in a lot of cases. Why not have the phone do it for you?

Have a mixture of tasks per tag.
One example is my office desk's tag:
Ring: Off/Vibrate
Notifications: Medium
GPS: Off
WiFi: On
Media Vol: Off
Display: (max)

Tags For Droid. They're the best bang for the buck. You get the largest storage size I've seen at 1KB and a free keychain tag. And they cost the same as others of equal quantities with much less storage, that I've seen on Amazon.

My S2 makes this weird noise sometimes when using Torch. It sort of sounds like a buzzing. And as I'm typing this, it started doing it without Torch on. The sound is coming from where the camera and LED are at. When it does this, I just flick/thump on the spot and it stops making the sound. What could be the cause of this?
Sent from my i777 using xda app-developers app
It's the auto focus mechanism for the camera, not sure why it does it. Toggling torch off usually stops it or a reboot, doesn't seem to cause any issues with the camera, but it can cause a serious amount of battery drain if it stays active.

It's been a while since I researched this but from what I can remember, all of the apps like torch that utilize the flash for a flash light activate the camera as well as the flash so the camera will try to focus even though you aren't trying to take a a pic. I have never figured out why my the camera focus mechanism flakes out one time but not the next seems to do it worse on certain rom versions than but I have never flashed backwards to see if the problem returned.

It appears to be a mechanical issue with the camera's focus motor. It may need to be replaced if it really bothers you. I've heard some parts for the s2 are easy to repair yourself, but I don't know if this is.

Hi guys,
I'm really impressed by motion functions in Samsung, including double tap to top. However, I don't know whether those kinds of function really drain much battery or not?
Many have said that the flagship keeps working in order to identify when you tap to the top of it. Others contradicted it and stated that it just works when needed.
Does anybody explain more to me? :crying:
I use the feature alot but never had any noticable battery drainage so i think you are fine.
Its not a feature that is constantly in use so wont drain alot
