I have e noticed a few differences with 2.2.1 some of which are good others that take away functionality. Two in particular are that now the ZIP code field accepts Alpha-Numerics and not just numbers but on the minus side that 'Keep screen on when plugged in' has been lost from Developer options. Well I found a work around for this by installing Widgetoid which has the ability to not only keep it on when plugged in but when unplugged also and as a bonus I do not have to dig down though menus.
So do you know of any pluses or minuses and work-arounds for them to share with others here?
Personally, I've only seen pluses with the new rom.

Soon you'll notice a big big big con, huge battery drain....
Here on the General section is a thread about battery draining and possible solutions, on android dev section someone posted a "fix", haven't tried yet, but here it is FYI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10092321&postcount=11053
It seems there are a few lucky ones not getting heavy battery draining, hope you guys don't need this.

I am amongst the unlucky ones facing a huge battery drain. I've mostly solved the 'standby' drain but 'usage' drain is still incredible. It's a shame really, because the 2.2.1 updates are brilliant in all other respects.

This must be down to setup or apps installed as there are many like myself who do not have this problem. 30 gone and still 45% battery life showing. JPY updated through Kies from JPO using reg. Perhaps a thread with a poll for those with the problem with did you update via kies or odin and have you used other roms or was it from stock type of questions. narrow the field down a bit to find the true cause.
Well, all I did was upgrade via Kies. No hacks, no changes to settings etc. and with wifi on all the time, the battery drain is terrible compared to JPO 2.2, which was really pretty good.
I had this problem the first night, left wifi on, since then I always switch wifi off when not needed, and battery last 2 or 3 days...

+1 for the battery drain with 2.2.1.
I'm please to say that I have solved it though... I did a full factory reset and flashed back to 2.2

Confirm! It's working. I've solved it for myself the same way....
I repeat, no battery problem with 2.2.1 JPY, as long as I dont leave wifi on...
Please note this is not a battery problems thread. that one is elsewhere on the forum. This one is looking at improvements/additions with JPY and good things that have been removed and how to get them back. Than you.

With respect, the title of this thread appears to invite input on the "pluses or minuses" of 2.2.1
The only minus I have come across is dire battery performance when compared to 2.2 JPO, with no other settings touched. To me, that is a major minus.

The clue is in the first post an example is given there. Another example would be when we lost the Sound: On, Silent, Silent vibrate options and were IIRC left with Sound on or vibrate but no silent. I used Silentmode OnOff widget to get around that one.
gray squares when scroling pages on the net
The most biggest plus is the SPEED. My Galaxy S has never fly so fast without lag fix, or WITH lag fix with any other firmwares (2.1 or 2.2) as it is now. So who care about a little battery drain? And like it said, as long as you remember to swtich off the wifi when you don't use it, everything is fine.

Should a new thread be made for Darkyy's rom battery drain discussion?
Would it be of any benefit?
Would it help keep the Darkyy rom thread cleaner for actual glitches / problems, and stop posts getting lost in a mine filed of battery trolling?
Darkyy would love to hear what you think mate .
There are plenty of battery drain threads out there but because people are using Darkyy's rom they feel they should post about it in the rom thread, instead of using the already available battery drain threads.
Vote and discuss please.
yes i think it should be investigated seperately from the rom thread , i dont think its the common battery issues people have . i think its a bug it the rom . take my experience with it for example
flashed from darky 8.0 to 9.0
did a wipe beforehand
within less than 12 hours the phone would not boot due to battery flat .
this was from a fully charged battery , with maybe 30 mins use at most .
went back to v 8.0 np at all
Those said said no, can we know why you disagree?
Flashed darkyy 9, I can go 3 days without charging ... tho I will admit i'm not a overly heavy user, and the phone is on wifi the entire time.. at the end of the 3 days i'm around 20% battery, so I find no drain problem here.

I personally don't believe its a problem with the rom at all other wise EVERYONE would have it which they don't. I can get about 3 days out of v9.1.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I get 1day and a few hours from it. 3 days if i dont use the phone at all

Are you using speedmod or voodoo?
Have you wiped the battery stats?
Did you do a wipe when you flashed to 9.1?
V9.1 carries over the battery stats from which ever rom you was using before i believe so there should be absoloutley no difference to your battery.
Theres an infinate amount of anomolies it could be theres no way to pin point the exact problem people have.
I have yeat to calibrate my battery, but indeed there is some kind of battery drain - no sync / no wifi and my battery goes down in around 12 hours. Still dont blame the ROM though, until I invesitigate and find the root cause for certain.
the battery jus drains quick in all darkys rom..the rom is gud but battry is a big issue.galaxy is kool wiv its color display but wats the fun wen u make a rom thts blacky jus to juice battry.but those who want snappy fast rom the darky is best.ive tested almost all diff roms an som r gud.everyone has a own choice.....

actually with a fresh flash of 2.2 followed by 9.1 i see 3 times better battery
normal 2.2 lasted 3/4 a day
now 9.1+SO4_7_4 tests showing huge battery savings
will need a few days to give a detailed feedback on batt

that's a good idea..
think i'll try it too..
i said no because i get very good battery life with normal use - about 20-30 hours before it goes to 0.
9.1 with speedmod here, 1 day at most, no matter if I use or don't use the phone. Battery drain approx. 12% per hour, no matter if wifi is on or off...
Tried clearing battery stats, flashed wifi fix, removed self-updating widgets, no effect...
No offence but, dont we have enough Battery Drain threads around here? Im pretty sure we dont need rom/kernel specific battery drain threads, main thread will be spammed with it regardless of having this one (most of people around here are lazy to even read first post in the thread).
i was on darkys 9.1 and i found my battery drained quick, where as 8.0 was good
i dont use my phone much, i only use wifi when i need it, i only use gsm no 3g ever. everytime my phone goes back into my pocket i close all my apps thru task manager. bluetooth never gets used. i dont watch movies or play music. the only thing i do is play angry birds (that hammers my battery)
i still feel my battery life is poor and i have done all the methods to save its life like automatic brightness and NoLed ect.
shedding some light on this matter would be great... i think samsung should do something more about this... they can cram all this stuff into a tiny device, but yet they cant make a battery last more than 1-2days.
we can put a man on the moon... but an increased battery life is mind boggling ????

haha true
Too many variables. Everyone sets their phone up differently. I have been having pretty good battery life on 9.1 but I installed DU meter & I lost 40% in 3hrs. Its all dependant on whats running.
I dont see this as a ROM problem personally.
Many people have had this issue and i am going to put down the facts here.
The GMS radio in the x10 is not.. great.
It suffers in low signal area's lets say 1 to 2 bars of signal or lets say about -80 to -108dB and lower.
It requires alot more juice from the battery and that causes overheating then after a time chipset death.
This is all based on tests done at home.. i contacted my provider and had a petition signed, they fixed the tower and the issue's with my phone's heat are gone!
Now that i have full signal strength the device has no heat or battery issue's at home.
The other problem you can face is only if you flash firmware with a baseband or a separate baseband.
Many times the baseband may not settle correctly.. this will lead to severe heat, restarts, laggs or even chipset death.
Sometimes the baseband will not even be compatible.
#edit
the third problem that i am adding here and almost forgot about...
Charging while under any or even both of these conditions... can be catastrophic.
As sometimes the modem uses so much energy while the INTERNET is in usage that it cannot hold the charge.
There by cuasing major heat.. and you can guess where that will end up.
Switching to 2G instead of 3G can help ALOT, but in some cases this will end badly
As you will get very slow speeds and that causes downloads to be pathetic slow
and even more prone to bad downloads due to the bad signal quality.
The other case may be that you have the dreaded chipset of DEATH if you get above 45*C it's a good chance you have this horrid chipset.
Have it replaced by SE.
#edit END
All of my theories have been properly tested and recreated and fixed to ensure that this info is correct.
Before you call me insane or retarded... test it first!!!

You may very well be right on the issue of the GSM radio but..... Some earlier X10's were a lot more susceptible to this issue. My first X10 burned out in about 3 months and ran warm all the time, but in standby the replacement rarely gets warm unless I'm in a fringe area that only has edge coverage.
Anyway you don't know what a hot phone is until you've used the HTC Dream. At times you can almost cook eggs on it

So true, but i have been seeing more and more reports of this issue.
And would like to simply give a solid answer to this.
This was not meant as a complaint, but more as a answer so as to end the scourge of that question once and for all.
A overheat that ends in a damaged device = a serious issue.
No worries here
I bought my x10 in march 2010, about a week or 2 after it become available in my country. And I must say that I never had any problems with it, except what all experienced with 1.6 version (slow, laggy, few small bugs).
Overheating was not an issue, even when I upgraded to 2.1 and recently to TripNMiUI (awesome rom btw). Only time I had problems was when I searched for the right rom flashed the wrong file and almost messed up my device.
The battery was above 40°C and went to 10% in like 3 hours Now about that GMS thing... at work I have almost all the time 2 bars of signal (see attachment, was at work from 5am to 2pm) the red bar is 1, orange 2, yellow 3....
and blue lines you see is when its scanning. Sometimes I lose signal for maybe 1 or 2 hours (and that sux) But I cant show you phone temp (dont know how), but it is almost never above 30°C , except when I play games and I do quite a lot
So after more than a year I still have original battery and lasts for 3 days tops, but usually its around day and a half. And I love my X10

It depends.. the heat is mostly created from using the GSM radio in these conditions. such as online usage.
Games are not the problem unless they make constant heavy use of the internet.
Also what was the ambient temperature when you are testing?
Well I do play cestos, and was playing pocket legends, both require constant internet connection. But the temperature still didn't go above 35 (was quite warm). You mean rom testing? I mostly try out the nearly finished roms, so never had any issues with rom functionality or temperature. Except when I tried z's alpha kernel. Then it was around 33-38°C. Now that I think about it when I'm flashing new rom it always goes above 30, but after some time drops down.

Yeah thats the BB settling in nicely.. sometimes a few restarts or even the "white led of WTF crash" seems to sort it out.
averagely my phone will idle at 30 to 35*C but in usage it can climb above 40*c often.
My old motherboard reached a record High of 57*C just playing "robo defence" or even Hawx...
But here's one more test for you.
Once you need to charge plug it in and start using the internet for about 20 mins in a low signal area and watch that battery drain and the heat go thru the roof.
I never had this issue and i only get 1 to 2 bars only and it never went above 34 which is cool. Dunno about u guys but the only way i can overheat the phone is when playing heavy gunner and listening to music at the same time and the battery heat reaches 38 and it still works 100% with no trouble.

But it still has a effect on the phone.
But how many of us still flash roms or basebands?
Some versions of the board are way more unstable.. to be honest you have the most stable x10 i have seen out of the 13 i have seen here around me.
Also.. did you do the charging stress test?
It's more than just a single simple issue such as heat, it effects the battery life. "when the radio has to boost the signal"
And to be honest out of all of my phone this is the only one that loves to often drop my calls in bad conditions.
noob question coming: how do u do charging stress test? is this something like you test how long the battery lasts?

I posted it earlier.. lol. no problem.
Just go to a area with bad signal "low as in 1 to 2 bars", wait till the battery is getting low.
Start charging it and then use the "market or anything that constantly uses the radio and cpu" constantly for about 20mins while charging.
Watch the heat go up and the battery go down.
Also please note that if the ambient heat is very low then your phone should be reading much lower..
Not all of us get snow on this planet, some of us get heat stroke in the winter.
will try at work tomorrow, since i always get bad signal there.
From many users of xperia x10 who are using firmware version 2.3.3(official update) i ve heard that the phone gets heated up while on 3G connection while on wifi there is no such problem. Even I had similar problem. I really did an in-depth study in this matter it came to my notice that many got their battery changed some got motherboard replaced, but still most of them are not satisfied and hadnt got a solution for this particular problem.
Facing this problem I was really frustrated. I tried all methods like rooting, using custom kernel etc. Then it came to my mind that all this started to happen after I did official update to 2.3.3. For about 1 year i couldnt figure it out. Even if surrounding temperature increased the phone would reboot. this situation was really ridiculous. Tried and tested in many conditions I found out that after flashing to the firmware that the handset came first from factory ie 2.1update there is no problem of heating up or rebooting. I agree many functionality are not there in 2.1 when compared to 2.3.3. but u can be rest assured that ur phone wont get heated up and reboot while using 3G.
Conclusion
Tried on 3 different Xperia X10i 's the problem got solved...... If u really want to use X10i with 2.3.3 then its possible only if u can keep the phone cool by having a dedicated table fan or AC blower directly blowing on to ur xperia X10i while on 3G Connection

I tried everything including the 2.1update firmaware and still the same problem. Some x10 get fixed with new batterys, some with replacing the motherboard and others with downgrading the software, its not the same for everyone.
I have one which has everything (screen, keyboard, MB, battery,etc.) replaced except the SIM card, I had 2 other phones to steal parts from, still overheats and shuts off I think SIM cards play a role in this too.
It's funny when I said the same thing I was harassed as a liar.
But it's true.
You want 3G get a PC fan and glue it to your x10.
The X10 is a failure as a android device "phone"
Gets hotter than hell.
The internal cellular radio eats the battery.
Proof of concept.. switch to flight mode.
Using 3G for a extended time will most definitely kill the device.
That little black thing I think helps keep the dust out of your phone but since I remove them(around 5) it does not SEEM to heat up as much as before.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
I removed my cover off of the X10.
Its basically a screen and mobo wide open.
Still heat rises.
3G is not usable on the x10.

Obvious troll is obvious.
If what you are saying is true.
Then obviously there must be more than one version of this chipset.

It's not for every users, some because of battery, sometime due to board related, etc.
But. ... yeah Mugen is better, using it for months and very satisfied, also have a good temp result,
check this my screenshoot :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33975843&postcount=3
Today, almost all new smartphone using internal
battery (sh***t), keep pushing us to buy their new product
you will laugh at me.
I found the solution
use adhesive tape on the SIM card and this prevents contact failure and overheating.
So far I can use 3g, wifi, wireless network without problems, without reboots!!!!!!!!!!!! !!
WOW. It worked for me.

Ha ha...
Photo of me in -1C weather and phone battery 27C.
Photo of me play modern Combat for half an hour and battery 27C
Photo of me and my phone with battery 27C
Photo of me download a 3.5GB mkv video and battery 27C
Does anyone see a pattern emerging here?
After market batteries I've used do not return the temperature and will remain at a default of 27C.
I know this is true for my Mugen 1800mAh battery in my XPERIA X10i and a PISEN 1750mAh battery in my XPERIA LT26i
HDMI and an XPERIA S can get well over 40C before the device monitor shuts the phone down and or etc.
With my PISEN 1750mAh battery, it's 27C all the way... which is scary when you know the temp is increasing and nothing to curb it.
Just something to confirm and/or be aware of if found to be true with other after market batteries.
P.S. Oh and the fixed battery in an XPERIA LT26i can be replaced with a LT25i (XPERIA V) battery as my PISEN battery was for a LT25i (BA800). NFC is not hampered by aftermarket battery in my case.
out of blue gotten this ota update N915GXXS1DPI2/N915GOLB1DPG1/N915GXXU1DPG3 , anyone updated ?
nice, any fixes? nightclock or fingerprint?
DPI1 brought back the priority callers panel (thank god) and allowed sending contact details as text instead of vcf. Both very useful.

@ arbit12 how about the rest ? its doesnt meddle with any boot loop or battery drain issues right ?
@Aimara, no issues so far. Rooted as usual. No bootloops or excessive drain as of now.

The auto shut off is purely a battery issue. At least in my case. I bought a new one (not OEM) named "Signature". The battery looks dank with dark orange packing a velvety box. Since the past two days, ive been getting an SOT of at least 3.5 hrs as conpared to the waning OEM battery that barely gave me 1.5 hrs and used to do rouge reboots anywhere between 20-50% . For 430rs, i hope it lasts at least 6 months

Any feedbacks on the update with regards to battery life?
Ive been very wary of OTA updates since ppl have actually complined that theyve made their devices slower

a few mention that soft reboot is cause by the screen security mode ? which i didnt use since mine galaxy S days , i find it quite a waste of time to every time unlock whenever i want to use . by the way why nobody slam samsung to solve this ? now is a good time to wake them up .
