Hi everybody
Ive had my Z2 for like 5 months now im on loli5.1.1 stock unrooted (.1.232 firmware)
I have loads of apps i guess alot of em running in the back by themselves and im always on STAMINA but i get like 1 day and a half with 100% charge with medium usage (no HD gaming 2hr 3g data and like 3hr wifi and 2~3 hrs watching non-hd movies and 2hrs of music on 2days usage) and i would have to charge like everyday and my brightness is most of the time at the lowest possible
so as you can see im not getting as good battery as i expect of 3200mAh
i decided to try some custom android and see if i get better results
i saw alot of roms but alot of them are [D6503] and there are no notes for d6502 users , WHAT IS THE DEAL HERE ? the only difference is LTE
is there like a general zip file or baseband that you can flash for all [D6503] roms or they just dont support ?
and please tell me that my battery situation is normal if not what is wrong with it ?

All cm based Roms can be used for d6502 too its a script in the roms which fixes baseband

how about non-cm based roms ?
the difference is just LTE isnt it possible to just remove it from that rom or replace it with another configuration from stock rom ?
Using the minimal information you have provided 2 hours of 3g and 3 hours of WiFi and 2 hours of Movies = 7 hours of screen on time. That's pretty good.
How about you provide some battery stat information so people aren't guessing?

Baseband of D6502 and D6503 are different. There are no other differences. So, if you flash any rom, you have to flash D6502 patch (baseband). It will replace D6503 baseband from ur phone and set D6502 baseband. All rom makers provide it with their rom. It's not even a problem. Just flash it after installing rom.

Download this patch and flash it. It will work for latest 5.1.1 fw (both 232 and 264 build) and you can use it with any stock based rom.

Hi, I was on Stock 2.3.3 then I flashed wolf's rom and my battery started draining :-(
Now I am back to stock via repair using PCC but the problem still persists... :-(
I need to charge two times a day if I m using my phone continuously... Previously it used to last one day...
Need suggestions on how to improve the battery.... Should I go back to 2.1 and then update it again to 2.3.3 ???
Or any other solution... I am on Stock 2.3.3 at the moment..

Calibrate it using battery calibration mate.
Fully charge and calibrate it, then use it till fully discharged, and fully charge again.

I never calibrated my battery. I guess what u missed was wiping battery stats before flashing wolf's rom. (he didnt mention this step in the installation procedure as its not mandatory) but this makes a difference I believe. I think u can have one more try. If your stock Rom is already rooted then flash wolf's rom again (or else u might have to go back to 2.1 and root it and flash wolf's rom). Now before u flashing wolf's rom, wipe ur battery stats just before selecting the custom zip (actual rom file). Good luck (PS: I'm on wolf's rom and I'm a heavy used - bluetooth head set on almost 10 - 12 hrs a day and wifi on almost 12 - 16 hrs a day and I usually gets over a day and I'm not using any custom kernels)

Just done a fresh install of wolf's rom with the latest v4.0.4 and this time I wiped everything and also formatted the system.. things appear to be fine at the moment as I have not installed any of my previous apps.. Will see how the battery operates for a few days..
I am also somehow hates the battery calibaration method it appears that it takes more from a battery then to give it lol..
Well i got a second hand S2 and i would like to "clean" it and install a better rom and a better firmware as the battery life is very short about 17 hours.
My problem is idk which one is better for my device. Should i stay on Giner or pass to ICS?

Id say update to the latest geingerbread release!
Wait for CM9 to get stable and then use it for ICS!
u can go for spikes ics or hydogen roms and many out there r good..but if ya wanna b stock then flash the stock ics or gb is not bad it depends on u.....cheeerz
I really like sensationICS rom very stable

Flashed
ROM - XWLA4_CheckromRevo_HD_V6 (Most votes on a pool thread)
KERNEL - DarkKnight_2.5.2 (found it on checkrom page, i could not find a pool for kernels.. )
any advices for a good kernel?
battery life still poor
Few days ago i managed to get a 25% (as can be seen on Old Results attachment) display usage but suddenly has raised to over 45% and no matters what... it wont go below that level.
You can have a try of Siyah's Kernel.

I would suggest to go with a good ICS rom.
I am currently using Hydrogen ICS + latest Siyah kernel and absolutely recommend this setup

well if you are getting 45% for display you must be using your phone or your display is turned on alot.. download betterbatterystats_xda_edition here on XDA .. its free (just search) and check your kernel Wake_Locks
also CPU spy from market to check is your phone going into deep sleep

ATM is off charging i want to full charge it and after that try a new flash
Is what i would do .
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware wipe phone totally .
Backup EFS first Nitrality is a market app for such .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
no recovery install cwm kernel
Root + CWM .

Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Phone is now empty no OS no nothing .
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware GB
Though at this point you could flash a ICS stock if so desired

Ok I`m back

FWIW, 17 hours is not bad, depending on what you're doing.
If you are actively using the phone with a screen on time of at least a few hours, with full sync going, that's actually pretty good.
If this is pure stand-by time (you're not touching the phone at all) it's on the mediocre side, but still not terrible if you have full sync going.
I can get 24+ hours if I hardly use the phone at all, or about 6-7 hours if I'm constantly using it for web surfing, facebooking, XDA, games, GPS, etc.
Battery life is completely subjective to how you use the phone.
I have rootet ray 2.3.4

Why i need a kernel(many have problems) or not stock rom?
Why indeed
Sent from my ST18i using xda app-developers app
The question makes little to no sense, but I will try to answer your question, A kernel is needed for every Operating System, it is what connects the hardware to the software, and is specific to each device, Custom Kernels are kernel's developed by custom developers and as a result they may have some issues.
A stock rom is what comes with the phone when you buy it, a customized version of android in it's own right, which is official in sony's eyes, which comes with it's own official kernel, which may also come with some issues.
His question was "what reason do I have to switch to a custom rom (and kernel)?"
One answer is because you're running an outdated OS.
Another is to fix issues the stock version may have.
And another is for extra features not included in the stock rom.

I dont think so. I think he asks why should we change kernel although with the stock kernel, phone still fast.
Well, with stock kernel you have a limit. You can not overclock, undervolt, and some other actions which can make your fast android phone becomes smarter and faster.
Correct me if I am wrong.
P.S. if you are using GB, it is better to try to install Aire's kernel. And you can answer your own question.

I am running ML4 on my device (The stock rooted ROM that JustArchi posted in the general forum). ML4 ROM. ML4 kernel. MK6 modem. Rooted, without removing any apps. I am attaching a picture I took just now and I have been using my phone extensively, with a lot of messaging and Flipboard usage. I think that this battery usage is good. I am on my second battery cycle since I flashed the ROM and I did not do a full cycle yet (full discharge and then charging with the phone switched off till 100%).

BT that depends on your screen time... It goes into deep sleep nicely but while using any app or browsing it drains faster than previous firmwares... But different people will always have different opinions... That's the whole point of customization and flexibility that android provides us..

Hello Gents,
I moved a while back from Sola (Bought a LG G2), but now I'm thinking about giving my sola to my dad.
Can you tell me at this time which is most stable ROM that we have for Sola?
He wont be using much apps, mostly browsing and phonecalls, so I'm trying to prepare the phone to be stable enough so that I won't need to flash it every month.
From my experience before I "left" the Russian Cyanogen 11 was the best for me.

Since you want your dad to use it and he will be making very basic use of it supposedly, I would suggest to go with stock rom, root it and remove the bloatware, it will make it lighter. All custom roms will have more stability issues than the stock one.
