[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimi4:
Hi,

The icon itself means that you are connected to the data network of your cellular provider.

The icon can look like one of the following:

G - 2nd (or 2.5) generation connection

3G - 3rd generation coonection

H - 3.5 generation connection

H+ - 4th generation connection. This does not mean your provider actually support 4th generation data rates.

When the little arrows are gray - No data is being sent/received. When they are colored it means your phone is sending/receiving data.

Roaming means that you are connected to a "foreign" cellular provider (not the one you are paying to).

Data roaming means that you allow your phone to use data connection when you are roaming.

Using data connection while roaming is extremely expensive and it is highly recommended not to do so.

Hope I got it all covered for you :)

Data conection

Thank you for clearing this for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slackflash:
well I did my digging and got some more accurate figures in addition to the above

G is GPRS 86kbps

E is EDGE 236kbps

3G is UMTS 386kbps

H is HSDPA 3.2Mbps

H+ is HSPA 7.2Mbps

H+ is too for HSPA+ for 14.4Mbps or 21.1Mbps

(note:)H and H+ are the so called 3.5G

and the new comer:

4G ( LTE technology) is 100-300 Mbps ( the iphone5 is said to be on 100Mbps)

some phones don't show H or H+ , they just show 3G for UMTS, HSDPA, HSPA, HSPA+

only G or E means it's on 2G, - that is you are not in 3G coverage

PS on my Vodafone, using speedtest.net app i get on H+ 7.12 Mbps... ( aka 0.89 MB/s)

Period
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jauling:
Is there a different icon for DC-HSDPA, or is it 'lumped' into H+?

The standard should theoretically allow up to 84Mbps with MIMO, but my phone only supports up to 42Mbps.

KPN in NL has it rolled out, but I've never been able to confirm if I'm on DC-HSDPA. Using Network Signal Info android app, the fastest I've connected is HSPA+ at 21.6Mbps.

Guys, rooting is probably out of the field of my abilities right now, I don't have time for countless hours to learn how to root and then USE it. I think it requires putiing in commands to do anything...this is definately to dificult I think.

Please, is there anyone who can give simple advice what to do? Ya all made me update saying battery will be better, well it is worse lol so this is kind of your fault. Just kidding but please help :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jjdoctor:
Root is very simple. just search SuperOneClick.

If u cant root, android is not for you. You hav to learn to install custom firnwares
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] xperiaforme:
Lol I don't think roms are a neccesity for me. Even dummys can enjoy some of Android world.

When I root I'm worried how to do stuff, like uninstal apps. I did find some apps in Market, like battery calibrater.

So can I just root and then use root requring simple apps? I can't learn commands like in terminal emulator.

When I root, do I lose any functionality of phone, do I have to reinstal my old apps like Opera?

And is stuff like xrecovery and jit, whatever that is obligatory?

Sorry guys. All I want is recalibrate battery by removing battery stats and look how much trouble I have with it lol.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] albanezi:
Were you on android 1.6 operating system previous to your update? If yes, it is possible to step back the update using xrecovery but then again you are a self-confessed newbie. I would say it would be worthwhile to learn how to root and install xrecovery, they really are not hard to set up.

Follow this video tutorial, it really is easy.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] khanam:
Not sure why anybody cares about NFC. It's not going to be supported by the merchants. Just a new fad, just like MasterCards old paypass chips in cards, which almost all the big merchants rejected and it was a complete disaster. There is a reason its taking so long to get NFC technology out.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
From my limited research it looks like Europe and East Asia have been using this technology for a few years and it seems to be catching on. So, as with most mobile technology North America is just behind again...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gdi2290:
when Apple release NFC in their iPhone (next year) sadly suddenly everyone and their mom will want one :/
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Credit cards and other devices embedded with RFID was a complete failure, not because no one would adopt it due to being a gimmick, but because it was extremely insecure. I could steal your credit card information from across the street if you had a card with it. The US government attempted to use RFID in passports, which was also a security disaster (who remembers the story of a postal working scanning mail for passport RFID tags?). RFID is an always on technology. It's not really always on, but the chip receives power from radio communication as it's being read and has no off switch nor any real security schemes. BTW, if you have an American passport with RFID, put that thing in the microwave for a few seconds if you want to secure your identity while using it ;)

What makes NFC different is it's not always on like RFID is. Additionally, while it can be used to work with RFID technologies, it can also be secured through encryption, and information being used through it can be limited. This is why NFC is slowly catching on. If you want to pay using NFC, you launch app and place device near scanner.

NFC is probably a couple years from going full speed into full adoption in the US, but it is being used pretty heavily in some countries already.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] thenickisme:
If you have a non-NFC enabled phone and want one, there will be microSD cards available with the NFC built in.

There is one by DeviceFidelity and Netcom has one that they are currently working on.

Well that seals the deal for me. NFC support was (pretty much) the only reason to perform the OTA upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread. Guess I'll stay with my AlphaRev-rooted version of Android OS for the foreseeable future.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lazerax:
I use the VISA Blink all the time, I love it. Don't even have to remove my card from my wallet. South Korea and Japan have been using NFC payment systems for a while, and I think it's about time they brought it here. I'd use it. Google said something about releasing an NFC patch at some point so that Google Wallet can be used on all phones, and I'll definitely be getting on that.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Darkshado:
Like I've said, the 4.0 version I had only Force Close when I tried to run it.

I still use version 3.2, but I've changed my setup a little, YMMV.

I bought a universal car dock in which I clamp my phone, plug in a car charger and turn on car mode. That way the screen is on and the phone remains unlocked, so VSuite works as it should.

We won't have access to the source code, and I don't know assembler (much less ARM assembler) to try debugging the library that way.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] momentarylapseofreason:
EDIT: For some reason, after several attempts, ROM Manager successfully flashed recovery. Should be able to figure this out now.

After going Cyanogen free for awhile, I decided to download the newest kang. Problem is, GAPPS wasn't included.

It seems that ROM Manager isn't allowing me to download ClockworkMod Recovery; perhaps because I am not logged in? Not sure, it simply doesn't seem to want to download. No errors, it just doesn't do anything when trying to flash it.

I try to reboot into recovery, but it just loads the ROM. Attempting to hold the volume up while booting gets me stuck at the folder with the arrow screen. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wewoapsiak:
I'm pretty sure that it is highly recommended that you don't use the fake CWM via rom manager. It installs it to your sd card or something of the sort. The easiest way to install CWM I know of is using the tool this guy madeLink Here.

[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
I know a few people have been moaning about the plays battery but I thought I would post a couple of pictures showing how well mine has been lasting over the weekend, I'm highly impressed as I have been using it quite a lot too.

That is 36 hours since a last charge and counting with 39% battery left! during this time I have been using the internet, a few apps, the camera and XDA forum app!

The lowest the Play has latest me is about 7 hours but that is playing 3D games non stop, so anything pushing the gpu will drain the battery a LOT faster than shown above.

So yup, the Play has got a FANTASTIC battery :)

UPDATE: So far it has lasted 40 hours 8 minutes with 18% remaining
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Update, 43 hours with 13% left :D
[Xperia Play General] Aerox912:
Damn i'm jealous. My play doesn't last that long. Did you disable some app's? Ans all sync on manual probably
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
I've got about 150 apps on my phone, Trillian constantly running to keep me online with IM protocols, syncing set to automatic, streaming podcasts with bluetooth and playing games from time to time, often with the screen on for long periods of time. I've been averaging 24-35 hours per charge, FAR better than my old Captivate which wouldn't last a day at any point.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
Mine is rooted and I removed a few system apps, nothing major though, I have facebook and twitter syncing every 3 hours, email every hour.

My Play finally turned off at 2%, total time - 45 hours, 7 minutes :D

I have been using a lot this afternoon so did go down faster during the last few hours, highly impressed as my old samsung galaxy s would never last a day without a charge.
[Xperia Play General] liaoip:
Yeah, I think it just depends on how you use it. For me I don't use 3G at all so that already saves, and then on top of that I selectively turn on/off bluetooth and wifi. I can game for like 3 hours straight and still have 75% left. I think the longest I've gone is 24+ hours with heavy periods of gaming throughout. If you constantly use 3g, wifi, bluetooth, and have a gazillion programs running then ur battery life might be way less.
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
This is the thing, On the other end of the scale I have only got 7 hours out of it when I was playing games non stop all day but that isn't bad as my old psp would go flat in 3 hours playing non stop.

It definitely depends how you use it but its good to know it can last for almost 48 hours between charges if you want it too!
[Xperia Play General] eoga:
Hello FK1983, thanks to your post I found the Battery Monitor Widget, which provide more information than the one I had before. I was reading all the post about the xperia play battery because mine was lasting just for half day.

I install this widget and noticed that where it provide the estimate charge use by the phone was showing more than 150mA, this even in standby, while yours was only showing 4mA, base on this I know somethign was running and eating my battery so I restart the phone and now it has been in 2mA while in standby and around 40mA and 60mA while writing msg or checking something else.

Is there any way to know what is eating my battery if I notice the last behavior again? so i can just kill it and not just restart the phone again

Another thing I noticed is that in your picture where you can see the battery information it says "Techno: Li-poly 585/1500mAh" while in my play says "Techno: Li-poly XXX/1200mAh" where XXX is the actual battery charge. Is this indicating that there is something wrong with my battery? I check it just to be sure that it wont be a 1200mAh battery model because of different region market but the battery has written on it 1500mAh. Any help will be appreciate.

Thanks.
[Xperia Play General] The_Newtype:
Always check to make sure Gtalk isn't running in the background if you're on 3G (make sure your signed out), as it literally destroys my battery in about 6 hours.

And if anyone knows of a precise application that indicates battery usage (outside of the built-in one), I'd love to hear about it!
[Xperia Play General] speedyink:
There's no question that the play has great battery life compared to most smart phones out there. I lost my charger and it lasted 4 days and still wasn't dead when I bought a new one.
[Xperia Play General] DrReD:
any tip?

is a good time in u battery....
[Xperia Play General] FK1983:
The battery mAH settings you can change from 1200 to 1500 in the options, that maybe why some of your stats look different to mine? give it a try.

Regarding running apps, you could keep a close eye on the running processes and see what is running there, or use a task killer or even an "app monitor" that records apps usage.
[Xperia Play General] crono141:
Folks that report awesome battery life:

Have you applied the 2.3.3 update? I'm still on 2.3.2, and I'm lucky if I get 5 hours of moderate internet browsing before needing to plug in (with about 20% battery left).

Also, in contrast to the OP's picture, my battery widget is consistently reporting between 200 and 300 mA shortly after a reboot. Can't kill any tasks to speak of either. Nothing is running to speak of except homescreen widgets.

Using launcher pro with its built in facebook widget, power control, fancy widget, pandora widget (not playing), winamp widget (not playing), battery monitor widget, google plus widget, and a volume control widget. Running a live wallpaper as well. With all this running, is 300mA a reasonable usage?

Im on 2.3.3 and i get around 24 to 30 hours facebook and surfing the web for around 2 hours and sending msgs and making some calls. if you are getting 200 or 300 mA i think something is killing your battery. On idle Im getting around 4 and 5 mA sometimes 12-15 mA(I guess something running in the background) and when using the web browser, WIFI on and GPS on im getting around 100-150 mA the most being really bad.

I don't know why I havent done anything to phone yet as iv been at work all day. And since I havent replaced all my games yet iv used it alot less today than I normally would but the battery seems to have drained more than usual.

Would a task killer help prolong battery life? I read somewhere that a task manager is not needed with android but im skeptical
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Android has a build in task killer, having two will only drain battery. try setcpu and remove as much bloatware as you can(need root).

I just updated my play to 2.3.3 and battery life seems worse for me than 2.3.2. I can barely get through a day of light usage (no gaming, and ard 1 hr's worth of web surfing, switched off most of the updating from apps like facebook, email, pulse etc to manual).

I tried battery monitor widget and my Battery health shows up to be 'null' (my friend's htc desire hd shows 'good'). Would any kind soul be able to tell me if there's something wrong with the battery or the software (mine is stock Singapore xperia play firmware 2.3.3).

I have noticed this same issue with my previous HTC Thunderbolt as well. For a while now, whenever I use the mobile hotspot or usb tethering on my PC, I can only browse the internet (ie. Firefox) for a few minutes and then all browsing will state that there is no internet connection available. However if I run a torrent, it will run and full speed at that. Is Verizon only blocking me from certain ports on the internet?

I have incurred very high data usage with the Thunderbolt and now Charge which may be causing this issue. However, I find it very strange they'd block web browsing but not torrenting, where the latter which would typically suck much more bandwidth, the last thing Verizon wants!)

Would anyone here be able to explain or if they've experienced this as well? :confused:
