I can never get even 20 hours off of a charge and I got this phone recently too. Max I've ever gotten is 13 hours.

+1 Same here. Although I have seen various battery drain issues on the Optimus line of phones running CM7 so I was very surprised at the standby battery life on this phone. Battery life while the phone is active isn't so great but its not awful either.

Weird my phone turns off by itself when put into the pocket after a while. Could be a heat issue since it's pretty hot here where I live. Especially these last few days when this started occurring.
Edit: For clarification, it shuts off and doesn't reboot.

Yes, it's on standby. I saw someone else earlier in the thread with the problem too, I might need to just do a clean install though.

I just ordered that battery, hoping to get awesome results. Now for the long shipment from china!
I just noticed a bug. When playing music that is plugged into my stereo receiver using a 3.5mm to red white connectors, the audio always stops. Like it just stops during random times. I don't have this issue using regular earphones, so it is really weird. Does anyone have this problem?

If I am not mistaken that is the auto feature that stops the music when it is to loud.
Confirmed something that happend in the past but wasn't sure last time. When leaving the area with service into an area with low power service the hunt for signal will warm up the phone significantly and drain battery fairly quick. Turning on airplane mode will fix it but it will also disable you from using wifi at the same time.
Tried various options of having just wifi on without service hunt and it wouldn't work.
I also noticed a nexus s with wcdma only option enabled was able to retain service in the same location on same provider.
Without wcdma only option the hint would take longer and wouldn't remain locked as moving through the low signal area.
Its unfortunate that we can't completely separate wifi from low signal hunting whether 3g data is on or off..using airplane mode or not. Its also unfortunate that the wcdma only option or any other band option cannot be enforced through the kernel. I'm fairly sure this is a rom coding issue as opposed to available feature options in the radio chip set.

I'm able to use wifi in airplane mode. In fact, I just uploaded the comment in airplane mode just to double check.

Oh, it is? I really think there should be some kind of notice of some sort because I had no idea, and I just got frustrated lol. Hah, I will try it again and a lower volume later. But thanks for the information!!

I've been using my phone the whole day in airplane mode with Wifi on.

I just tested it, and the volume will work if I go over the 60% mark on the volume bar. It's kind of weird, because that would usually work for earphones.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2
Edit: yeah, I just tested with headphones, and it has no problems going past the 60% mark.. Does the phone detect the audio outs differently for each plug?

I wonder if it's the hunting for gsm signal that interfered with it. The wifi status would be on but it would not show any wifi networks available until airplane mode was turned off.

Yes. I get the problem in Pandora. I haven't tried with headphones yet. Headphones and receivers do have different impedance ratings, though. Maybe rather than sensing the physical presence of the connector it senses the output impedance, and if it's too high (usually 600+ ohms for a receiver) it may as well not be plugged in? Just conjecture.
But yeah, in Pandora, it will randomly seem like I just unplugged the cable. Audio will cut to the phone loudspeaker for a split second before Pandora pauses. Could be a ROM coding issue? I've never had the problem before.
Enabling European 3G frequency band (2100)
Does the SGT-T679M have to hardware (radio chip) to operate in the 2100 frequency band? Is it possible to Enable European 3G frequency band (2100) in SGT-T679M by flashing the firmware with a European version?
According to gsmarena this phone supports 3G Network - HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 2100 / 1900 . However the phone specification in gsmarena is SGH-T679 and NOT SGH-T679M . I believe the "M" version is an American model so I am not sure if it has the same hardware as SGH-T679 and if the custom service provider software has blocked the 2100 band but I could be wrong. Hence I the above question from the experts.
Thank you for your time.

No offense intended at ALL, but I wish people would stop giving out this advice. Wiping battery stats (ie deleting batterystats.bin, which is the same thing that the option in CWM does) has absolutely zero... ZERO effect on battery life. It also has ZERO effect on the battery life that Android shows you in the status bar.
The 'battery stats' (better known as batterystats.bin) is ONLY used for the per-app battery usage tracking in Android.
But don't believe me, believe it right from the horses mouth:
(you'll have to copy and paste the link below, XDA won't let me post links because apparently I haven't posted here enough... hpmh!)

With that being said it IS a good idea to fully charge and then discharge your Li-Ion batteries once in awhile - they tend to live longer that way.
Very light use, but even now still enough juice to post this or make a couple calls, stock battery, latest build, no voodoo.
>>edit<< posted the screenshot from my phone, how can i make it look actual size when viewed on my pc? on the phone viewing this thread it looks right but on the pc viewing this thread it is huge.
Sent from my Exhibit II 4g using CM9, Thanks Jocala!

I've been quite a few random reboots lately. Just had one right now while playing draw something. It wasn't even doing anything intensive... So yeah, just wanted to report that.

137This is a port of CyanogenMod 9 (Android 4.0.x) for the Samsung Exhibit II 4G. It is very much a work-in-progress. There are no guarantees whatsoever that it will work to your requirements or that it will progress beyond its current state. Major kudos to Arco68 for his help in getting this going; you would not have this ROM except for him.
Here is a video by dennis96411, showing CM9 on the Exhibit II
What seems to work
Phone
Wifi
SMS/MMS
GPS
Bluetooth audio
Amazon Market
HW accelerated display
Headphone detection
Microphone detection
T-Mobile Wifi-calling (works for most)
init.d support
CIFS networking
Camera (Stock Camera only, 3rd-Party apps mostly don't work)
Haptic keyboard feedback
Market/Play
Gmail
Browser
Screenshots
Streaming video
What does not work (NO ETAs)
911 Emergency Calls
Torch app (check thread for alternatives)
CM9 for the Galaxy Exhibit is NOT vulnerable to USSD dialer exploits.
Vanishing text
The content of text buffers sometimes disappear when touched (messages in: gmail,yahoo,fb). Wiping cache has fixed this for some. Long-press of back key and restarting app for others.
Facebook
Facebook sync is not included in AOSP. 3rd-party apps are available in the market.
3g vs 4g
Cyanogen Mod views UMTS as 3g whereas the stock Exhibit II rom views it as 4g. Even though you see 3g on your status bar, your actual speed should be unchanged from stock.
Changing band preference
In dialer, enter Service Mode via
You should see:
[1] Automatic
[2] WCDMA Band Preference
[3] GSM Band Preference
To force WCDMA only, tap option 2, on next screen tap option 6 - WCDMA All
To force GSM only, tap option 3, on next screen tap option 7 - GSM All
You can use the back button to verify your settings took effect. To exit, tap menu button, quit. This change does not survive a reboot. If you use this frequently, save it as a contact.
WIFI Problems
Wifi is working fine for almost everyone using CyanogenMod 9 Galaxy Exhibit build (and also for the Galaxy W). If you are one of the very few having difficulties, a possible fix has been posted that may help: WiFix Manager.
Installation
Installation requires a CWM-based recovery. Download/update Galaxy Exhibit Custom CWM Recovery here.
Updating CyanogenMod 9
Once you have a stable install you're happy with you can apply future updates w/o any wiping. If for some reason a wipe is required, I'll make that known.
Download CM9 Beta
Core2idiot's CM9 Nightlies
Google Apps
Google Apps gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip .... Mirror
Kernel sources
Copy the downloaded cm9 beta and gapps zip files to your internal or removable sdcard.
Back up your data.
Start Custom Recovery (cwm): Press & hold Vol-Up, then press & hold Power. Shortly after the plain white Samsung logo appears, release both buttons. Recovery should start after the color Samsung/T-Mobile Exhibit logo.
CWM Keys:
Home key = enter
Back key = back
VolUp/Dwn = highlight choice
If installing over a non-CM9 ROM you must do a ROMwipe before installing.
Select "Install zip from sdcard." Choose the cm9 beta zip from sdcard or external sdcard, depending on where you placed it. Highlight the cm9 beta zip file then press Home. Confirm the choice and installation will proceed. You may also install Google Apps (gapps) at this time. Gapps does not include all Google apps. Those not included are available from the market.

CM9 Beta:cm-9-20120810-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo.zip22Compile CM9
Portions copied from Motorola Droid X CyanogenMod Wiki
Thanks to Arco68 for hand-holding and patches. Any mistakes are mine.
These instructions assume that you will be using an Ubuntu 10.10 Linux system (or a close relation, Debian, Linux Mint,etc). Setting up a Linux partition or creating a Linux VM are beyond the scope of this post.
First, Install the Android SDK
Next, install the linux build packages required. I install using apt-get:
For 32-bit & 64-bit systems
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf libsdl1.2-dev libesd0-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev squashfs-tools build-essential zip curl libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev sun-java6-jdk pngcrush schedtool
For 64-bit only systems
apt-get install g++-multilib lib32z1-dev lib32ncurses5-dev lib32readline5-dev gcc-4.3-multilib g++-4.3-multilib
These instructions assume an "android" directory located in your home
Install repo
Download CM9 sourceCode:mkdir ~/bin curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
This can take hours. When done, ~/android/system should be at least 11Gb in size.Code:mkdir ~/android/system cd ~/android/system repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b ics repo sync -j16
Next:
Download kernel sourceCode:cd ~/android/system/frameworks/base git remote add arco git://github.com/arco/android_frameworks_base.git git fetch arco
Download ancora_tmo device directoryCode:mkdir -p ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/kernel/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull https://github.com/arco/samsung-kernel-msm7x30.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Download ancora_tmo vendor directoryCode:mkdir -p ~/android/system/device/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/device/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull git://github.com/Jocala/device.ancora_tmo.ics.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Set up prebuilts:Code:mkdir -p ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/ancora_tmo cd ~/android/system/vendor/samsung/ancora_tmo git init git pull git://github.com/Jocala/vendor.ancora_tmo.ics.git Repeat the pull command occasionally to obtain updates.
Applying cherry-picksCode:cd ~/android/system ./vendor/cm/get-prebuilts
You'll need to gain at least a rudimentary knowledge of
using git and github. Teaching this is beyond the scope
of this howto. Cherry-picks must be re-applied after each
repo sync.As time goes by they also get merged, so it may be that some
cherry-picks are no longer required. You can check their status here.
Attached to this post is a script (reposync.txt) that will do a repo
sync then apply current cherry-picks. I keep it in my
android/system directory. Rename and chmod 0755.
Set up your environment & build
Building takes at least an hour. If everything worked, you should have aCode:. build/envsetup.sh lunch cm_ancora_tmo-userdebug brunch ancora_tmo
out/target/product/ancora_tmo/cm-9-SOMEDATE-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo.zip file
============
CCACHE
If you have room on your build system you can speed
your builds up considerably by using ccache. ccache is a compiler
cache. It speeds up re-compilation of C/C++ code by caching
previous compiles and detecting when the same compile is
being done again.
Install it with apt-get: sudo apt-get ccache
Set environment vars for Android use:
(I put these exports in my .bashrc)
Set a cache size of 10G for optimal results:Code:export USE_CCACHE=1 export NDK_CCACHE=ccache
Check the status of your cache with the command:Code:ccache -M 10G
Code:ccache -s Returns: cache directory /home/jocala/.ccache cache hit 106673 cache miss 18379 called for link 3758 preprocessor error 5 not a C/C++ file 4425 unsupported compiler option 678 no input file 4565 files in cache 36758 cache size 3.2 Gbytes max cache size 10.0 Gbytes22
It's always hilarious when a newcomer shows up who absolutely knows it all, refuting everything we only think we know about our phones.
I think the idea of nightlies is great, I never had the resources. I've replaced the OPs download link with a link to Core2Idiot's nightly page.
On another note, I've decided to keep my Exhibit as a dev device, so I'm going to continue busting my head with 911 for a while at least. I'll post if I have any breakthroughs.
