Hello everyone. I'm very interested to buy Galaxy S2 because of its community support. i would like to new few things about Galaxy S2.
1. how good is sunlight visibility in bright sunny days ?
2. can i use it for another year without any performance issues ?
3. i have heard about S2's heating problem. how hot it becomes when playing some heavy games on it ?
4. how good is battery life and camera performance in low light ?

1) Good.
2) Of course.
3) It doesn't have a heating problem, it's the game you're running that could be demanding.
4) Good & kind of good.
PS: You can get this info from the 785 videos posted in YouTube.

4. baterry life is decent for me....camera is great even in pure dark...and video also....with flashlight
5. S-2 is gettin' older & older....but it's still a BEAST

thanks for the reply. i was considering Xperia SP first but its sunlight visibility is not that good and also camera produces much noise in low light photos and it also has a non-removeable battery which i don't like.
and what about S2's burn-in problem ?
Come again?
Where are you getting all this info?
Please do read the general forum, you've got reliable info here at xda.

Burn-in problem? Define it please?
Hello,
I got a samsung galaxy tab 2 with my Samsung smart TV (the first one with a camera, it was brand new at the time to give you an idea of the age as I cannot remember how old it is) and I have noticed that the battery life drains considerably fast, even when in standby. I have checked the battery usage page and task manager to see if there is anything eating up resources, but cannot see anything in particular. Is it normal for the battery to deteriorate at this age and/or is there anything I can do to improve it?
Thanks in advance for any replies
Hi All,
I'm from Germany, new to the forum and have straight a question about my new Samsung Galaxy Alpha.
Since a month now I'm using the Alpha.
I'm quiet happy with the overall performance and handling and really love that phone.
Of course I rooted the Alpha to remove bloat ware and to tweak the autorun behavior of some apps.
When the phone is sitting there connected to WiFi or/and GSM with the screen off waiting for calls, text and mails coming in, it consumes roughly 1% of the battery per hour. What IMHO is a good performance, compared to the SGS2 I owned before.
Anyway, when checking the details of battery usage with 3C Toolbox Pro I figured out, that
MPL Significant Motion in the Google Play Service eats appr. 40% of my battery capacity in standby.
I'm wondering what that service/process is doing (and who started it) as there is no reason for the phone to detect motion in this state. Or I'm totally wrong and MPL Significant Motion is something different???
Even Google couldn't help in this specific case.
The only motion detection I can think off are the Automatic screen orientation and the Flip over to mute function which I have activated.
To narrow down the options I switched these off, but this doesn't change anything regarding the power consumption. These detections should only be active just when the screen is on or in case of an incoming call anyway.
Could somebody out there check if it is a normal behavior to have that MPL Significant Motion thing running more or less constantly?
And does somebody know what this service/process is doing and how to circumvent an auto start?
The 2 Screenshots attached (Battery01/02) showing the usage of MPL Significant Motion (2% out of 5% are used by this process).
The other Screenshots (Apps01-05) showing all the apps and services running on the phone currently.
Thanx for your help in advance!
Hi,
I am currently on marshmallow 6.0.1 S925I Galaxy S6 Edge. This is a international unlocked phone used for Tmobile. Attached is a screenshot of remaining time left on battery at 100% charge. Does anyone's s6 edge phone showing more than 10 hours at 100% charge? If so can you direct me on some things I can do to improve my battery life. I feel like the remaining time should be more in the 17-24 hr range. This time was done after a factory reset from lollipop.
can someone please help me with this? Thanks.
S6 edge has battery issue as it having only 2600 mah battery.
6 hours maximum on wifi usage.
Its problem with every s6 edge
It's not really a problem for everyone else Sam, to get the most out of your battery I use Greenify (xposed module, with aggressive doze enabled), Also in conjunction with DS Battery Saver (selecting what profile for given situation ie: @work switching on Agressive mode).
Also down tuning CPU and GPU with custom kernels make all the difference. Plus using dark themed apps also saves huge power consumption.
My stats
Mines says the same thing. Even before the marshmallow update. It can last more than that but it's really how much you use your phone. Heavy usage I get about 3 hrs on screen time but if its moderate or light use can get up to 4/4.5 hrs on screen time. Which is pretty good.
Has anyone tried comparing the performance of S23U when using standard and light performance profile? Noticed any performance drop when using Light mode?
I haven't noticed a different in performance but I also haven't noticed a difference in battery life either. I haven't been able to see much of a benefit but since I don't see any performance drops I just leave lite mode on. Hopefully someone on YouTube does a battery comparison.

I have experienced the same thing. Don't notice any performance differences and didn't really notice any battery life differences either. I keep it on in the event it is making a difference cause I haven't noticed any negatives.
Light profile under battery profiles
Hello all, has anyone used this profile? If so, is it any good?
forum.xda-developers.com
Standard vs Light performance profile
I haven't seen anyone do a comparison between the two, but what are your experiences so far with this setting?
forum.xda-developers.com
No difference regarding performance. However somehow I've got less SOT on light mode compared to standard lol
It is kinda strange when ppl claim on reddit that light performance gives them 3h more to sot. I don't see any difference on mine device. And I belive it is placebo what ppl writing. Also same to Ram plus. I try off and on and no single minute adding to sot.
I don't notice performance difference, but my battery seems to last more than before. Which was also goo... With s23 Ultra I no longer have battery Anxiety.
Maybe this function is just to turn off the "for galaxy" over clocking of snap 8 gen 2

I believe you are right. Because I have one of those device info apps installed and when I have light mode on it says the max GPU is 615 and with standard mode is 719 megahertz. So I think you are correct it just defaults it to the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 setings.

Nah, it pulls back further on the core. You can see that in the benchmarks. It limits the maximum X3 core clock to about 70%.
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Benchmarks reveals performance difference between Standard and Light modes
Samsung's new flagship phones, the Galaxy S23 series, debuted with new performance modes: Standard and Light. That feature appears to have been a masterstroke, with benchmark numbers indicating a slight drop in performance when in Light, accompanied by significant prime core efficiency gains.

I did the test and posted the results in the battery thread. I gained 1 hour. First test with Standard was 10:51 and Second test with Light was 11:54.

That's a significant extra on the battery life. I'll stick with light since mostly what I do doesn't require heavy usage.

I am doing another test now with No Social Media Apps installed on phone. Just my normal phone, text and email apps, work apps and Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Disney+ for streaming apps. Bet I gain at least an hour without Facebook and Facebook Messenger installed.
Probably affect heavy performance core, so that with standard daily usage you can't see the difference
Haven't had any performance issues on Light mode. And quite significant improvement on the battery consumption. So I'll stick with Light.
What i wonder is the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) aka A.I.
If light mode lowers clockspeed from CPU and GPU, does it affect NPU?
I mean will it affect post processing during picture shots?
I've tried to spot a difference between these two perfomance profiles after may update and I did notice few things:
Light mode: device is less warm while multitasking, charging and casually browsing. However I did notice that I lose some "frames" using navigation apps such as "waze" and on heavier multitasking(spotify, facebook, reddit and instagram for example). Battery is a little bit better than standard mode but not that noticable at least for me.
The only thing I noticed was the phone got tangibly warmer when using the camera and the subsequent photo processing in standard mode.
You all know S23 phones use overclocked Snapdragon Gen 2, right?
If you want a stock Gen 2, just use light profile.
You won't notice anything.

Wow, now that's a bold claim! Light mode = standard Gen 2 clock speed and Standard mode = overclocked speeds...This needs to be verified.
