[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirM2X:
This might be an odd question in a wrong forum but I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask it! :D

My sister studies in Spain and she's going to return home 3 weeks from now.

I have the fabulous SGS and wanted to upgrade to SGS II and since SGS II won't be available in out country anytime soon, I thought it would be better if my sister bought it for me there.

I want my phone to be equipped with SAMOLED+ screen and the Exynos chipset. I don't really care about NFC.

The thing is I Googled but I didn't come across any retailer that distribute in Spain, and frankly I don't know how thing work over there.

I even looked for online shops but since I don't really know about any of them, I wasn't so lucky :( and in fact there are quite a lot of them and I don't really know which one is better!

She could order one online but there is another problem. Since my sister is not a citizen in there, she said she could get back the VAT tax on her way back if there was a proof of purchase for the product. However I don't know if she could do the same thing if the product was ordered online.

So I'm totally lost and don't know what my options are... :confused:

I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here.

Thanks a lot in advance :)

Hello.

I did some google searches and i've found a thread where someone claim that:

* locating the directory /system/app -> PHONE.APK and TELEPHONY.APK

* removing or renaming this files, for example to PHONE.OLD and TELEPHONY.OLD

is the trick to extend the battery life, you'll earn a few hours. True or, ... a metropolitan legend ?
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Don't advise it ....

Well, lots of people are doing it, but it will apparently cause problems with updates, and may even brick your tablet if you update with those files renamed. Instead, just set your tablet to 'airplane mode' and turn on Wifi. My tab is getting 12 to 14 hours almost continuous use this way.

My advice is NOT to do it. We will be getting the Honeycomb 3.1 update in June, and it is supposed to address this issue.

[Acer Iconia A500] rg1003:
Turning on Airplane mode did not work for me.

I am always in Airplane mode and if battery usage is accurate then cell standby is still the second biggest drain on battery (next to display).

This issue and the amount of bloatware are really my only two gripes with this tablet.
[Acer Iconia A500] jaya500:
turning on airplane mode will not work. Rename those two files and just name them back when restoring or updating your tablet. Just don't forget or you'll brick it. My battery life is awesome when it sucked before
[Acer Iconia A500] Nucleotide:
Turning on Airplane mode didn't seem to work for me either. The percentages are still much the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] apple_hd:
require to root the device ?
[Acer Iconia A500] matthew79:
Yes, you need to root your device. Use Gingerbreak and then a good file manager, maybe Root Explorer (market.android.com/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&feature=search_result). It's not free but it's wonderful.
[Acer Iconia A500] jimbobtexas:
Get the "Acer Iconia Phone Disabler" app. It gives you easy, push-button support of this, and works flawlessly. If you decide to update, you just use the app again to enable the telephony services.

Darned near fool-proof.
[Acer Iconia A500] matthew79:
I don't have anything against paid apps. In fact my Iconia has got a lot of paid apps but this app seems useless. It does the same thing explained in this thread with 1 click. By the way, if you suggest paid apps, it's always a good thing to insert a reminder....
[Acer Iconia A500] vikramdhani:
Why the hell this tablet have cell radio if we can't use it ?
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Airplane mode

I agree that the battery use report still shows that cell standby is eating up the battery, up to 15% on my A500, however that does not change the fact that my battery life has increased to 12 to 14 hours on an average day of use.

Why don't you turn on airplane mode and turn on WiFi and use it that way for a day or two and see what happens? Maybe it doesn't work for you, but it is working for me and others.

You can't always believe what a report tells you, but you can usually believe what you observe for yourself.

My settings app also tells me my 16 gig external SD card is only 14 gig, but I know better than that. I can stick it in my laptop and it reports 15.something gig. Maybe the OS just thinks it is polling for service while in airplane mode, but in actuality it isn't.

And to repeat what someone else asked, why the heck does a WiFi only tablet have a cell radio in it anyway? Even if is part of the main board, it should have been diabled.
[Acer Iconia A500] tower107:
battery drain

have you by chance run a battery monitor such as "battery monitor widget" that gives the mA rating of the power drain? Mine is still very high (400-1200 mA) when doing your solution. I'd be interested to know your drain b/c based on the projections I'd only have between 4 and 6 hours use, not the 12-14 you get. Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
There's absolutely no way to get 12-14 hours of continuous use out of this tab. I think many people reporting otherwise are counting sleep time as well.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bonikowsky:
I think im just starting to realize how much i used keyboard shortcuts on my laptop. I love the shortcuts listed in the general information thread, but imo there are still a number of missing ones...

I wonder whether that's something that could be developed? Right now the most annoying one I miss is switching tabs in the browser, and I suppose that one would be difficult to add in. But other than that things like shortcuts to specific apps or to switch between them (a la alt+tab) or for copy paste...

Any devs looking app ideas... :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
theres nothing made yet, but i seriously think that it's possible.

If you look at the emulators you can bind any key on the keyboard (with certain exceptions) to anything.

so i don't see any reason why it's not possible. someone just has to figure out how.

personally i'd bind the FN key to the recent apps popup.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:
Hi all,

I am trying to get android to work on my old Tilt2 for my fiance so we can play games together. I've gone through all the steps by adding the correct files to the root of the storage card and running Haret. Every thing seems to work "fine" other than the fact that I can't see a storage card while in Android. I tried to partition my SD card to see if that would help but I am unable to determine the proper way to do that. Any help would be appreciated :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] coder12:
Do you have some type of file manager installed on Android? I know that I could always see it, with the exception of the Android folder on my card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] arrrghhh:
I've said this 100x, not sure why it never shows up on people's searches...

But backup all the data on the card. Format the card (full format, FAT32) using the HP Tool. Restore all the data on the card after the format, or start over fresh doesn't really matter. Apps should now be able to see the card, etc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Demonic240:

I've tried a couple of different ROMs recently and my phone keeps randomly freezing when I leave it idle.

I'm assuming it's one of the many apps I've got installed, so I'm wondering if there's an app that might help me find out what app is causing it exactly.

I've never used logcat before - but does this sound like the kinda thing it could be used for? Are the logs actually readable by a n00b like me? :P

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks

Use Titanium to save your apps.

To view the logs of your phone you can use e.g. alogcat from the market.

This has happened on several different ROMs, each time i've totally wiped my SD and repartitioned it (with GParted) and also re-flashed with CWM.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dr.Move:
sometimes logs get wiped or damaged when you remove the battery, so if you don't find logs useful, here's the hard way:

install apps one by one. Every time you install an app, leave your phone idle and see if it freezes. Use this as a last resort.

when you find what's causing the problems we'd like to know which app was causing the problem :)
