Hey there,
Using: galaxy s2
Rom: Resurrection Remix 2.4 on ICS (4.0.4)
(Though it happened on few other ROMs)
Issue 1:
Often, the time on my status bar will stop updating, and will be stuck.
Going to ROM options, removing it from the status bar and putting it back in will update it once but generally it will still be stuck at that time.
Rebooting the phone (usually) fixes this.
Is there anything I can do to prevent it? It seems the phone's clock is ****ed and not specifically the status bar's clock as clock applications also do that sometimes (Getting stuck)
Issue 2:
If my phone is stuck, after reboot it will generally start with battery percentage 22%, regardless if the battery is full or empty.
Rebooting the phone fixes the issue, but otherwise it takes sometimes hours until the percentage is back to its real state.
Any fix in mind?
Thanks!
same issue on foxhound!

battry not showing correct stats
hi you could try this
1. switch phone off
2. put on charge till 100%
3. unplug charger wait a min and put charger back on for another ten mins or so, so it is deffinately fully charged. (it might say 100% but sometimes may not be from my reading around)
4. unplug charger and switch phone on into recovery mode, scroll around and find wipe battery stats. click and run it.
5. run phone untill battery is completely empty then fully charge again (not using phone ie switched off)
dont worry about readings.they will settle down after a few or so of step 5 only ie dont repeat wiping batter stats after youve done it once.
if that fails you could try new battery and repeat steps if prob persists.
also are you undervolting cpu gpu ifso it may just be getting used to the new settings not 100% sure though someone with a higher knowledge may know more on undervolt isues
as for your date and time are you using get time from interweb etc try unticking them i think and are your timezone correct.
hope this helps

For the time problem. Go to settings date and time and untick automatic date and time and set the correct time.
For the battery. If you're running SiyahKernel you can try to reset the fuel chip in extweaks. If you're not just let it settle and it will calibrate itself eventually.
Hope this helps you

hi i have a slightly annoying issue with my x10: it keept turning itself off when the battery is between 15 - 20 % i can turn it back on and it shows that i have battery left bt i check it again maybe an hour later and its turned off again if i keep using it ie play a game or browse the net it gives the n ormal countdown reminders about plugging it in and will go all the way to 1% before turning off so the problem only seems to be when not in use. any ideas?
is the power safe thing set on 15%?
What power safe thing sorry for being dumb
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I am actually quite new too
seem like about 2 week only with this phone
But i do know there are something called like "Power safe blablabla" you can set at 5% 10% 15% or so on
This will definately do something when ur battery level reached certain percent
As i know it force close my WiFi adaptor ~.~
But i am not sure if its the problem that you are facing
If ur using a theme .then there might have been error in installation . Try to install the updated version of the same theme. This used to happen to me to but in different way, my phone used to jump 20% battery levels.
If u r not using a theme u can:
Save data and reflash
Or
Just find a good theme of ur liking and install. It should fix ur battery problems

My vibrant has a hard time holding a charge. This is what I did and it is still hard to hold a charge:
-Disabled 3G, wifi, gps, bluetooth
-Backlight lowest setting
- Autosync is turned off
- screen timeout is 15 seconds
-Display all animations (would this make a difference?)
-disabled haptic feedback
-removed some bloatware
Im running froyo 2.2.uvka6 and it is rooted.
I dont have the clockworkrecovery mod so i cant do the wipe battery method. Would there be any alternative to recalibrate the battery?
Also, I was wondering what "power save mode" is in the display settings. Is it the same as automatic brightness since it auto adjusts the brightness? Does it really save power or not?
Thanks in advance!
Recondition.
what do you mean?
Drain your batt to zero (till it wont turn on) then while the phone is off charge it too 100% (best results if phone stays OFF while charging! It keeps the voltage sent to the phone low... I.e. slow charge) once its 100% unplug it once and plug it back in. . Leave it plug in for about a hours after it hits 100... And then boot phone while its still plugged in....
This is what I do everytime my bat. Seems to drain fast....
You may have to do this two or three times in a ROW!!
ALSO*
If its a rom u flashed make sure everytime you hit 100% you delete the battery stats!
A simple google search of "reconditioning battery" will give you these steps and other methods!

Put your phone down every now and then...
Seriously, if you're only getting 4 hours, and you're using it moderately, then you need the battery replaced. Take it to Sprint, or call them and they should ship you a new one.
Otherwise, try a few of these things
Turn off 4G (If you have it on all the time, it'll burn your battery QUICK!)
Turn off GPS (Only use it when you need it. That's why the switch is convenient)
Put your screen on Auto-Brightness (Menu > Settings > Display > Brightness. Then check Automatic Brightness)
Make sure you have good signal (I've had this problem with ALL my phones. If you don't have a strong signal where you are, your battery will die quickly from searching all the time. Happens to me everytime I go to the Amway Center for Magic games. I just turn off my mobile network, or turn Airplane Mode on.)
Don't use Live Wallpapers (Even when your phone is sleeping, it's still running and will kill your battery.)
Check for a new kernal (If you're rooted, and you're running a custom ROM, then try using a kernal that will save your battery. Can anyone else recommend a good one?)
And one more thing, games will kill your battery quick (Some I've noticed are Words with Friends and Angry Birds)
really? 4 hours? that seems very low. most of us can go a full day with no problems - medium to moderate use.
try this.. for now..
turn off background data, auto sync
turn off all network location settings
navigate to settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks... uncheck the box that says "always-on mobile data"
turn off blue tooth if it is still on
turn off auto-brightness and set a pre-defined brightness level... set the slider just under 1/4 up - so about 20%
you will see significant battery increase. if you don't, you have another issue, but we'll cross that road later if need be. also, how much do you use your phone?

i wouldn't jump to any conclusions about the battery being defective just yet. it could be a wakelock issue from an app... but again, we'll look into that later. one step at a time here

I was using unity kernel for GSM
somebody reviwed this kernel and sayed that it takes 1% of battery every 70 minutes of idle
but for me ... in 70 minutes >>>. more than 2 %
I dont know what's WRONG !
This has given me very good results with all phones I've had:
I use Juice Defender and these are the settings I found that work for me. Of course I did some minor tweaking on these but in general this are optimal settings.

I assure you you'll see wonders with your battery.
Props to mistermetaphor over at AF for the settings.
Hi everyone,
Ive been trying to work out how EXtweaks settings work on the SiyahKernel (3.3.2)...
If I set all the extweaks settings how I like, then reboot and go into my second rom and reboot and go back to my original rom my extweaks settings have been reset. Anybody why this happens and if there is a way around it?
Also is there a way to keep the settings the same across the first and second rom?
Or is there a way to save your settings so you can flash them or reinstall easily?
Another question while im here Is there ANYTHING I can do to prevent the HUGE battery drain after rebooting my device... Nearly everytime, especially if the phone has frozen, the phone will lose lots of battery after reboot.
Thanks

Reset fuel gauge chip in extweaks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
oh yeah...
"Reset fuel gauge chip in extweaks"
Will that solve all the problems or just the battery drain?
I have tried that a few times now actually big improvement...
looks like we have the same ###**@$% problem but no one knows wat to do, after wat u said battery dies and when i charge itfor a minute or 2 it gets to 68% but dies after a while, and extweaks resets....im probably going to change to cm9 and then use battery calibration in market to calibrate battery
best lucks for you!
Hey, since the new update, the battery indicator in the nitificationbar is not updating / refreshing anymore, id does just always show a full battery, even when there is only like 40% left.
If i restart the phone it will set to the batterylife that is left, for example if i reset at 3/4 of the bettery it will show that but not refresh anymore till i reset again.
Factory reset and so on does not help, seems like a big software issue with the phone here.
if i go to options battery, it will show the right %tage in the options menue.
Also, they said in the patchnotes, that they now implemented a % of the battery in the notificationbar, but there is literally no option to enable that, any idead on where to search for that?
Or nay app recomendations that could help me out here?

It's working on mine. It is always set to % , no option to turn off.
I updated by using full time flashed with sp flash. Did you do it with OTA?

Yes, it made an update in the middle of the night when it got releasen, funny thing is, i turned auto updates off and nearly got late for work, because my phone is also my alarm clock and since it made it´s update on it´s own it reset and needet my passcode to restart.
Nevermind, i usually make a factory reset after an update and most problems are gone by now, for example the multitask bug, it is still there but not all the time and usually only when apps havent been open for a few minutes or from what i´ve seen, it just loasd alot of apps into the RAM and as soon as the 3,9gb are full it just closes all of them, instead of just making enough space and killing the first few that you have had open. I hope they fix that in the next update, but still it is way better than before.
BUt back to the topic. Since the Update, the battery indicator on the right top has a different style but as i mentioned just stays white and shows a full battery all the time, with no option to change it to % like the update log was mentioning.
Before the update it also had no % in the bar but when you moved the bar down there at leas was a % shown, now just a full battery symbol all the time.
But i tried a few different apps now an one just put in % in the battery icon now and also updates : itßs called Battery Percent Enabler, i tried 5 different ones, they did not work, but this just works fine, it is accurate with the battery indicator in the menu.
But i´ll guess i will try and root may phone sooner or later and then i will just flash the newest rom on it anyways.
Just wanted to know if i´m the problem and i just couldent find the menu to activate it, if it was a generell software problem or if it is just a bug since the update.
An other question, do you also have the frontfacing camera but since the update?
People in the umidigi forum and on reddit post about it en mass, i first thought it was a crack in the camera lens but since the update i have it too and people are having it too since the update.
https://ibb.co/RgXSpNJ
Its just one of the pictures of another f1 user since the update, mine has this weird line right in the middle of the camera, but i cant find a crack in the glass or the lense and since it only happened to people since the update do you think they messed something up in the cam software?
I also found a few that state the frontcam is not working at all since the update.
battery indicator
Literally the same issue battery indicator only shows the battery life when first booted, rebooted, or charging. Otherwise the battery does not move. had to install widget off of playstore. Also no percentage on/off even though when you type it in the settings search bar it shows it but redirects you to battery and we'll you guessesd it not there... hope patch comes out soon....

Hi, as i already troubleshooted and also kinda fixed it, just get the app i wrote in the first comment and everything should be good.
the only other thing that would help now is to re install the lastest update, since you messed something up while doing so.
or you can just install the app that i told you about.
Many of these little bugs or tweaks would be easily solved if we had an official and working GravityBox for Pie. Shame.
