Installed Litening last night - it was almost too easy to do

Anyone found a good clock?

The one I had doesn't seem to sync with the phone time anymore

Neil, let the phone completely discharge, then let it fully recharge. Mine went through the battery like a bastard yesterday. I let it run out, fully charged it last night, and now it seems fine.

cheers norbs, i let it get down to 6% last night before charge. I shutdown the phone and powered it back on, it seems alot better today. I have lost 15% since 7am (now 9:40am)

Flashing roms can mess up the battery stats, one way to calibrate the battery is to turn it off to charge the last little bit to full, boot into cwm recovery and 'wipe battery stats', usually under advanced menu. Some people will then let it fully discharge once but I don't bother.

I had it fully discharge last night, I couldnt even turn it on it was flat. then over night i charged it without turning it on. This morning I booted into the Recovery and reset the battery stats, and Now after 1 hour 30 minutes im down 17% :\

Facebook had a bug where it would get stuck. Uninstall it and have a look then. Alternatively, you can go into settings > about phone > battery use and see what's keeping it awake.

SAys the screen at 52% the rest are low. Have the screen set to change its mode for power saving goodness. So who knows.

my battery has been bad the last 3 days for some reason. Not as bad as Judys but by lunchtime it was at 40%, earlier in the week i'd get home at 4pm and it would still be around 70%. Apart from installing a couple of apps i haven't changed anything. I've since uninstalled those apps and i'll see how it goes.

i think i've sorted it out, i followed Sars' advice and charged it to 100%, rebooted into recovery mode and cleared the battery stats. Seems good now. Before that i was losing 10% per hour without doing anything. It's been an hour since i did it and i've only lost 2%.

Can you reboot in safe mode to clear the battery stats if you haven't rooted you phone?

w00dsy · Post by **w00dsy** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 9:36 pm

i think so, to boot it hold down volume up, home button and the power button. Then you have to go into advanced and clear it there. Mine has been going for 5hrs 30mins and it's still on 94%.

So how is everyone going now that they have had it done for a while? Just got my Samsung Galaxy S2 yesterday. What are the advantages of going to litening rom?
edit: just doing mine, phones been rebooting for a minute so far, scary waiting lol

Just installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthr ... ?t=1237495" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Liking it so far.

looks good, i tried to install it but i get stuck at the boot logo when i try and boot it for the first time. I only seem to be able to use Odin to flash ROMs. If i try it through recovery mode it never works.

How interesting. I wonder why it doesnt work for you.

Do you restore it to factory settings and then Clear the data before hand?
