Any further tips after a new kernel and rom would be cutting on the use of the phone and are therefore meh. I want to use the phone, not use it less.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenrry:
So Trinity is better than Netarchy???, what about Pete #5 which is built in Formels MIUI, so far this is the best Rom I have tried on my NS, stable and fast+good battery compared to the others, also I have my phone OC at 1.2G via Setcpu.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Set wifi sleep policy to never.

Turn off auto brightness

Turn off sync and just refresh your gmail manually when you need to and refresh your contacts from time to time. You still get app updates from the market with sync turned off.

Go through all your apps that update regularly (facespace, twitter etc.) and reduce the sync frequency to something that is acceptable for you. I don't need my twitter updating every 15 minutes and can just manually sync whenever I want.

EDIT: Turn off NFC.

... and buy one or two of these: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-1440m...TUEW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316132022&sr=8-1

Make sure to condition them properly - it really makes a difference.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Turning off NFC will do nothing as NFC does only consume power (like GPS) when used.

Issue #1
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] method2madness:
PROTIP:

Stop using the phone so much.

None of these tips are going to do squat if you're using the screen and wifi/3G all day.

Trust me on this. I easily get 12+ hours of use with battery to spare (usually around 30-40%) with the following usage:

NOTE: Matr1x Kernel with the stock undervolting settings, and TSM Pool Party ROM running on top.

The screen is on (a little over 1/4 brightness) with wifi/3g blasting, surfing bright white web pages for about 2-3 hours total. I may play 30 minutes of Furious Neornithes (:D), screw around on the market for a few minutes, check FB updates, etc. I also probably take/make about 10 short phone calls and send/receive about 50 texts. The remaining time, the phone sits in standby.

Not bad, considering the phone is beefier than most home computers from 10 years ago. Also worth noting: The battery scale isn't the most accurate thing in the world. Battery percentage drops off sharply up until about 60%, where it seems to level off.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenrry:
So what's the best kernel to use???, Trinity or Trinity UV?, Netarchy?, Matrix?, is not only about the battery but also stability, doesn't matter if u can make ur phone last forever if u can't use BT while browsing cause the thing crashes so u either have to use one or the other.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
As this is the save battery thread, there's only one answer: lowest voltage trinity kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
do you use juice defender???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
Don't.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] method2madness:
Took the words right out of my mouth.

There's really no need. Unless you've got some rogue program chewing up CPU cycles and hitting wifi/3G/4g all willy-nilly, the biggest battery drain is the screen. Which incidentally Juice Defender can do nothing about.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
When i received SMS or whatsapp message,the lights at the bottom of my nexus keep on untill i open the messages..

how i gonna to turn this off?drained my battery...!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
Getting BLN app and disabling it is the easy way. (Also it's not draining your battery)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
where can I check battery lifetime since unplugged??

It is same as battery uptime??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Uptime is the time since a reboot, so unplugged time is different. Check battery stats under settings, about phone. In MIUI its under settings, system, battery settings.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Switch off wifi, switch off bluetooth, dont use auto brightness (sensor wont turn off when your screen). Try Trinity UV kernel.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
Hi all! 1st of all, I am loving my 1st Android phone (MT4g). I was stuck on Blackberry for years, until I just simply got too bored with BB. Not bashing BB, still love'em, just wanted to experience Android, to see what the hype was all about & I must say, I feel I chose a decent " beginner " handset in the mt4g. But recently as you know, Gingerbread 2.3.4 was released for my phone and I opted to go into a Tmobile store to get the SD method of the update as opposed to waiting on ota or the other ones that are floating around ( which I'm not saying there is anything wrong with), I just preferred the SD method at the time. But now I was wondering if "rooting" the mt4g with the 2.3.4. update is getting close to available? I would like to root my phone now, because I want to overclock it just a little. But if I understand correctly, rooting is necessary to achieve that? So that is basically my question, Don't I need to be rooted to overclock my handset? & also Does anyone know when it will be possible to root the mt4g with the GB 2.3.4 update on it?

** I have been told that I could downgrade to a previous gb version in order to root my phone, but I want to keep 234 **
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Long and short of it : 2.3.4 is not rootable as of now. Things may change but you must downgrade to 2.2.x if you are attempting to root. After you do that you up re-upgrade the phone with a flashable variant of 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronin178:
Currently downgrading is the only way to root-once you do so and achieve root, there are a couple of roms in the dev section that are the exact same 2.3.4 my sense rom you get from t-mobile, only rooted and maybe debloated...and yes, you need to be rooted to overclock your phone

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromekobriger:
totally buggered my Galaxy Tab WiFi only...I found a thread on here with instructions to improve the GPS (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922692)

I followed them to a tee, rebooted the Tab, and it went into a boot loop.

I couldn't think of anything else to do, so I flashed all the European ROMs, every one of them gives me an android process crash and a boot loop.

I'm pretty sure this thing is screwed until a US rom is out, but if anybody has any ideas, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Check that, should be the stock firmware/rom to get you back up and running.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromekobriger:
Thank you, I appreciate your time and effort. Unfortunately this was one of the ROM's that I had tried, and to no avail.

A little update on some experimenting since I first posted this:

I realize I should have had more patience, but I expected a different outcome than I got. I figured since the tab was doing me no good anyway, I'd try and answer a question that I've seen a few times on here. There was some speculation as to whether the Verizon/Sprint ROMs would work (I know, p1000 vs p1010 hardware differences.) Nobody seemed to agree, so I figured I'd go ahead and try it.

Do not do this.

It took all of three seconds and the tab was bricked. As soon as I started Odin, it flashed "Failed" in red, and that was it. The tab would power on to a backlit black screen, and nothing else.

Now, at this point, I figured I'd just take it back where I got it and exchange it for another one. They were very agreeable at Best Buy to do so, but they were completely out of stock in all the stores and warehouses. My choices were to either pick a different tablet, or get my money back.

I ended up getting my money back.

So, I guess, not the greatest outcome, but hopefully my little screwups and screw arounds here help some people, and maybe answered questions for others.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
Yeah, the 3g Tabs have a totally different hardware spec than the wifi only. Glad Best Buy took it back.
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
Which would you get? Both are supposed to come out October 26th. Both have Gingerbread. Amaze has Sense 3.5, SGSII has TWIZ. Almost all the specs are same. The main difference I see is that the Amaze has a 1.5 dual core processor. The SGSII has been listed on some sites with 1.2 and on others with 1.5. If it is 1.2, I think the Amaze may be my choice.
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
The Amaze would also be my choice since Samsung has waited so long to release the GSII here, and they've refused to acknowledged the GPS issue with the Vibrant. I think my "never again" protest will be to actually never again purchase a Samsung product. Or at least not this time around.

I also don't like the 4.5" screen size that the SGSII for T-Mo is coming with. AT&T seems to be the only US carrier with enough sense in their heads to keep it at 4.3". Is the Amaze also supposed to be 4.5" of over-sized ridiculousness?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
The issue isn't really the screen size, IMO. The issue is the screen resolution. They are increasing sizes to epic proportions, but not increasing the resolution which degrades video on the screen compared to 4-4.3" devices. 4.3" @ WVGA is already borderline for me. I require qHD for a 4.5-4.7" screen. It's just that simple. The phoen can be the hottest thing since sliced bread, but the screen is what I look at all the time I look at it. Vibrant colors aren't enough anymore. Need a better PPI.

If I had a choice, and if the Amaze does have 16GB internal storage... It's pretty much a no brainer. Amaze it is.

Only thing I don't like is that HTC Sense has become cluttered as **** lately. I used my Mom's inspire and got knocked the **** out when I long pressed on the home screen. There was so much crap there...
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
4.3-inch qHD display, a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, an 8-megapixel camera, 2 MP FFC, 16GB of storage, 1GB of RAM and HSPA+ 42 are specs for the HTC Amaze
[Vibrant General] KnowledgeBroker:
OMG, yea.. that .2" is the deal breaker for me! Especially considering that is measured diagonally! That is like .1" in each direction! And yes.. that is sarcasm. I don't think that .2" should be a defining characteristic to anyone unless the device itself gets significantly bigger than that as a whole.

I am not sure that this is the same on all devices(phones, tablets, pc/macs) but I am pretty sure THIS "--" is longer than .2". If you don't believe me, go find a ruler or tape measure, or I am pretty sure there is an app for that.. .2" is nothing.

Anyways, THAT aside.. I will agree to an extent that as screen size gets bigger, so should the resolution or ppi.. but then again it would have to significantly increase in size before you notice any degradation in quality. Yes, the iPhone has its "whatever the hell it's called" display(too tired lazy to remember/look it up), and MAYBE it is noticeable compared to devices like the vibrant.. but increasing to a 4.5" device isn't going to be a huge downgrade by far.

Besides, I haven't even considered the HTC amaze 4g.. why? I haven't heard it is coming to t-mobile(pretty sure it isn't..). I am not going to switch carriers for a phone.. the phone I buy is based on the carriers, what they offer, and the prices.. so is it coming for tmo? If not, than what reason do you have to switch to their carrier BESIDES the phone?

/rant. Too tired for this anyways.

Aren't all of those the same specs the same that the prime is supposed to have, except for a 5mp camera(with a better sensor instead)? Except it will have ice cream sandwich? Haven't we learned anything from our vibrants? Buy a device that is either truly superior, or starts off with a better software upgrade.. I would rather have something that will software-wise be superior and equal or better hardware wise..
[Vibrant General] MadJoe:
Not sure why my distaste for 4.5" displays twisted your panties so tightly, but have you ever held a phone that size in your hand? I have, and it wasn't comfortable. I'm not all that fond of the 4.3" size either, but its a little less of an adjustment to get used to, since I know several people with phones that size and have had a chance to compare them to my Vibrant. Rant about factual errors all you like; keep your rants about other people's preferences between your ears (doing that also has the added benefit of making it less obvious there's plenty of room there for rants to knock around).

The Amaze was called Ruby during development, if I'm not mistaken, and yes, its coming to T-Mo. So start thinking about it.

And having fun at #NeverAgain 2.0 after they release the Galaxy S 2.5 4-5 months later for forget about your T-Mobile model that has different hardware components from basically all the other variants?

AT&T are setting themselves up good with their model. They're sticking pretty close to the international variant there...
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
Based on the HD recording abilities, the Amaze is looking pretty nice.
[Vibrant General] dan1son:
Both phones are officially coming out on October 12th, pre-sale online/phone on the 10th. Amaze is $259 after rebate, galaxy S II is $229.

Price difference aside... I have no idea which I'm going to buy yet. I really like my Vibrant and wouldn't really hesitate to buy another Samsung device. On the other side, I like the screen resolution on the Amaze.

I like the fact that Cyanogen works at Samsung now, and how quickly Samsung has been with releasing source for their Galaxy S II phones (although not the T-Mobile variant yet from what I can tell).

I haven't had experience with HTC since the G1, are they as good at modding as the Samsung devices right now?
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Amaze. It's an HTC and the specs are literally identical except the Amaze has a qHD 4.3" SLCD Screen vs. 4.52" WVGA SAMOLED+ and the Amaze has a superior camera.

Gonna have to go with the Amaze 4G, provided I even decide to waste another Year+ with T-Mobile.

However, it's rumored that the Galaxy SII has support for AT&T UMTS/HSPA+ Bands, as well.

If that's the case, I'll get the GSII and ETF after a month and move to AT&T, since T-Mobile has less bloatware they put on their devices... Only two GSM Carriers here so a T-Mobile phoen with all brands is as good as an Unlocked, Unbranded device...

If the Amaze 4G has those bands as well, then it's a blow-out. There's also the possibility to just get a Cheap Atrix 4G and call it a day. With the updates those run decently now.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
The correct CPU is 1.5 Ghz Dual Core Qualcomm, which is basically the same on both the Galaxy S2 and Amaze

many of those blog sites are waaaaaaaay outdated

I'll go for the Galaxy S2 (hercules) for the SAMOLED+ screen, the Amaze uses sLCD

other than that, both phone are almost identical

with minal difference in the battery the Hercules has 1850mAh can be upgraded to 2000 mAh (original by samsung) without changing battery cover, Amaze is 1730 (less juice)

more amaze details here http://htc.t-mobile.com/amaze-camera-phone

personally i'm going for the Galaxy S2 (hercules)
[Vibrant General] rbtady:
So which is better? AMOLED plus or the LCD Screen? Both appear to have 1080 HD recording, but does the Amaze have better picture taking abilities? Finally, the Galaxy S II isn't listed as having NFC in its specs on the t-mobile website.

[Vibrant General] Killbynature:
HTC needs to stick with the people who made the Droid incredible 2 super lcd screen. Those displays are spectacular. I don't think I'll be going with the amaze 4g. Sense is nice the amaze has 3.5 sense no idea what's the difference between 3.0 and 3.5. I know partially that sense 3.5 doesn't have hardware limitations. Besides the screen size and the UI overlays the phones are the essentially the same. I'm still going for this phone so tired of HTC's hit and misses on phones.
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
I agree the Amaze 4G is clearly a better phone but why is it SO FAT and heavy! Look at its dimensions...nearly a small brick in fatness and it weighs 176g without any sort of sliding keyboard or anything. It's weight is not even in battery as the battery is a 1730mah or 1750mah...not even the 1850mah that the Hercules has.

I'm a little dissappoint in the physical design on the phone. Wish Samsung would have crammed a 720p screen on the Hercules and then we would not even be talking about this. Sigh.
[Vibrant General] AllGamer:
wait....

you are mixing up 2 things

SAMOLED+ vs. sLCD screens has nothing to do with 1080p Video Recording

a screen it's just a screen its function is only to display stuff, not record

the recording part is done by the camera and the video encoding chip inside the phone

as for the NFC it's part there it has been shown here, but it might or might not be right

The amazed 4g is advertise as a camera phone nothing else. The samsung Hercules is advertise as multimedia player. Beats audio sucks overpriced, over hyped audio. The phone doesn't need a led light. If any of you ever had a g2 the notifications was horrible on it. Light was slow blinked every 7 seconds around the trackpad. Just use no led don't know if it works for samsung phones though.

Ya, I should have chosen a screename that wasn't the name of my phone.

Whatever, my vote still goes to Amaze 4G, or lets wait and see what Nexus Prime will be like.

actually the newer SGS2 models, do have LED notification, at least the Telus/T-mobile Hercules version does, there's a hands on video that was showing it, and the blue LED blink near the top right of the phone
