I don't know if anyone is having this problem, but my beloved Galaxy S2 keeps switching itself off especially after charging. When I switch it on again, it get the "critical battery life" window.

I'm wondering if it is maybe a bad app. If it is then a factory reset should fix it or it is maybe the battery? If it is the battery, where does one buy Galaxy S2 batteries??

Sounds like its not charging - probably a faulty charger. Try using a different charger or a different battery.
 
Can anyone tell me how CM10.1 official differs to Rootbox? Or more precisely, vice versa.

This may sound like a dumb question, but is this ROM any different to the JB test ROM that is out there already?

Yes, it will be.

The Test ROM is like a Beta ROM, not the final release.

However, this Test ROM is actually very good and 100% usable.

I doubt it will be much different kingrob. I think the only differences will be:
- Wi-fi drain will be fixed
- Exynos exploit fixed
- Lock screen freeze fixed
- Other small bug fixes

Those are differences, right?

Which means it's not the same and we want it. :)
 
I think the battery drain issue is the largest reason to move from test to Final. That, and bragging rights. :D

GM uses older wi-fi drivers in Siyah so the drain is back to what it was on ICS. But I am sure Samsung deliberately leaked the firmware so guys like GM, yhe CM team and other devs can solve the issues so they can merely implement. :rolleyes:

Think you have left out the biggest culprit....the media scanner that never stops scanning. ;)

If that is fixed in the final release, I think we are in for a huge treat!

Yeah - about that. There are mixed messages out there about the scanner. Some have it running quite alot and others not. I installed Rescan Media Root. You can switch scanning on/off. Even though I don't use it on NeatROM, I don't see a huge amount if wake locks for it with BBS. I will check again tomorrow for wake locks. But, yes I missed that one in my list... :o

Or it could be a faulty micro usb port. Apparently there is a known failure where the IC blows and your phone no longer charges

No charging is fine. When I charge it, it charges till full then I can use my phone for say 4 hours, then suddenly screen will flicker and then shut down with 35-45% battery life remaining. But I think its a bad app, I suspect Google Chrome, that app has always given me problems.

But thanks anyway guys.

Also the Face tag feature in the gallery, my standard S2 battery didn't last very long. :(

Might be incorrect battery stats, had that on my Nexus 7, then I moved the charger to its own wall plug away from the multiplug and all is good, also try a different charger as obviously something is wrong with battery reporting if it dies at 35%
