No bumping after 81 minutes. Absolutely positively not allowed. A really good way to get your thread ignored completely & not get any help whatsoever.

FYI as the developer of Piik (actually, I didn't write any of the code, but I paid for its development) I abandoned this project, and I approve of this being posted here. I would like to redo it in the future, however for those that are still using the older code, I am interested in the results you have using this app on the newer android versions.

S2 processor

Guyz do anyone here knows the reason y my phone is always in 200mhz even when every is app closed
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
ofc we do
When every app i closed, and no crazy background services running, the SII "downclocks" itself to preserve battery juice.
Mostly in sleep state. So dont worry, when u run some apps, not to mention 3d game its gonna "turn on" and use all of your 1200mhz.
cheers
I think he think it must 0 mhz
He is asking why its still at 200mhz..
To OP if you want to shut down your processor to 0mhz then turn ur phone off...
That 200 mhz is used by your system to run
Solved
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

It's because anything below 200 mhz will send the phone into the sleep of death, where it won't wake up.
I've downclocked my S2 many times and it's never happened.

You can use BetterBatteryStats form the play store to find out what keeps your phone awake.

You have got apps that are constantly using data, try to put most things on manual sync and go to accounts and sync in settings and turn it off for a start.
Get rid of any apps you very rarely use.

A dump from Better Battery Stats. You create it by selecting the 'Dump to File' menu entry from BBS.

Don't know what you mean? If you are asking about how to post the BBS dump here then just connect your phone with your PC and download the file 'BetterBatteryStats-....txt" from the root of your phones internal memory and post it here.

forgot the passcode :S

hello all,
i imported a phone from UK and the person i bought it from was dump enough to put a pattern lock on the phone, i tried contacting him but he is very stupid to answer the call. Is there any way through which i can hard reset the phone or do anything to get over the passcode?
i don't have the guys email id and password due to obvious reasons.
You could go into recovery mode and wipe data/cache basically factory resetting the phone.
Get into recovery by powering off the phone and pressing the following volume down+home+power.

Try flashing a stock Rom with Odin.
Have a look for the guides in these forums.

Wouldn't help as settings and setup don't get changed so pattern security would still be intact.

I went into the recovery by holding volume up+home button+power key and wiped data, now everything is good

Well I gave him the benefit of the doubt plus if it is stolen they'll just report it stolen and the imei will be blocked and then it's a fancy paper weight.

Lol, changing an imei is not very hard. But anyway he would have found the trick.

It's hard for someone who doesn't know how to get around a pattern lock
mikep99 didn't help a burglar, because everything he said could be found if the OP had spent 5 minutes searching the forums. The answer for everything is here already. Sometimes one needs to add 1 + 1, but the answer is there.

Return it to the vendor unless its you that broke it .
jje
Basically I rooted it, flashed cwm and then when I tried to flash a rom, the installation failed so I just decided to reboot the phone. It was at that point that it just wouldn't turn back on, not even into recovery. I did get a new one though
