Ah I see. You got a point, but after temp unroot I doubt it suddenly unfreezes the apparently that are frozen in TB. But very good point. I'm just going to do what the post above me says and unfreeze manually just in case. Can't wait to try out .215!

Just curious how much of a difference there is from .211

Like mehhh / sweet / or walk on water holy Jesus praise the lawd difference

Since everyone seems to experience something different with the updates here is mine.

I am using regular Razr.

Was getting about 13 ish hours or so battery life before ICS .211 update with moderate use and none of the cool new ICS features.

After ICS OTA was only getting 10 ish hours or so, I did not do an FDR after the .211

Updated to the .215 kernel and did an FDR/cache wipe with battery meter calibration and was getting about 12 ish hours of battery.

Rotted and froze 77 items and set up CPU to be downclocked (basically what MattyP did) and am getting about 16 ish hours of battery now.

Thanks for the update sakana! Great info. I bet we can increase your battery time even more, lol!

My goal was 15 hours, so least i hit that. Going to be playing with my sisters Razr when i see her next.

Well 16 hours is superb for a razr. And you may become your sister's hero after you get her razr set up and optimized.

That is awesome for a regular Razr ... glad it turned out well for you! :biggrin:

Hey, Hey.. great!....now to leave .211 behind.

 

[TisMyDroid]

Go for it netnathan! Then you can follow it up rooting when you're done. Installing the 215 is pretty simple and goes pretty fast.

Just installed .215. The install went very smoothly, hopefully I will be happier with .215.

Thanks for the great instructional Mattyp!

 

[TisMyDroid]

Congratulations BaSHa! Matty did a great job with the thorough & easy to follow instructions.

Hi, I have a couple questions about this. Was reading the Battery Life thread and ran across this thread. Battery life on my Maxx seems pretty good, like most not what it was on GB, but still better than any other Droid I've had (OG, X, Bionic). I want to do the FDR and reinstall apps, etc., however, thinking about putting 215 on since everyone loves it. My questions are:

1. if 215 is NOT the update we get from VZ, will we have to FXZ back to 211 to get the "official" update whatever that may be?

2. if 215 is the official update, and we install this will we still be on the upgrade path?

3. what's the confidence level of the guru's that 215 will be the official update?

If I install this, of course I'll do an FDR, before and after it and just don't want to do it again when the "official" comes out.

Thanks for any insight.

I downloaded it into my download folder but cannot copy it to the root. I keep getting message of read only file system. Is this because I m using "Astro"?
Do I have to move it thru computer connection to SD card?
I can copy it to "/mnt/sdcard"..... Is this correct spot?

No, from what I've read it has to be on sdcard-ext. Don't know about Astro, but read people use myfiles built in app to move it....

So far I haven't noticed any differences in .215. Battery life is still the same and no change with battery life. I have to try the battery training again though and see if it makes a difference. I'm at 10% battery on 13 1/2 hours. I'm constantly on 4G so I guess that sucks the battery life down faster. I can't compare battery life to pre ICS because I got 4G a few days after the update.

I never had any data issues with 4G coming and going. I do lose 4G when I go into work at one of my jobs but never lose 3G.

At my other job I lose it after I get thru the security(I work at a distribution center). I have to go back outside when I get thru security before I go into the warehouse. It's weird. 4G in the parking lot but not on the road in front of the warehouse.

I haven't really seen many release notes about what the .215 update was supposed to do. I read people saying they got .215 as an OTA update but I think they were in other countries. All I've read is that there were slight changes to the messaging app and a few others to help with battery life.

I have wifi off, sync off, blue tooth off, auto update off, auto screen brightness, all gps services off and just over 40 apps frozen. No heavy usage. Just some Facebook, youtube and web browsing. I did tether for a bit but not more than 2 gigs. Even when I don't tether, that's my normal battery life on non-work days. On work days, I'm at 70% after 13 hours but that's because I don't use my phone most of the day and it just sits in a locker collecting dust.

I'm not looking for help with battery life really. Just throwing my 2 cents in.
