[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
Third opinion would be, the battery rocks.

Compared to my Omnia 7, the Lumia has about 3x the battery displaying it'll last for 1 day and 20 hours after a full charge in Battery Saver menu.

I got through what would normally rape the omnia battery (1 hour music, 1 hour gaming, standby with wifi on for about 11 hours) and I still had around 65% battery left.

Wouldn't expect less from Nokia.

The person reporting bad battery life may just be bad luck, apparently they're releasing an update which should fix some battery issues.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
Well I'm glad your receiving better battery life!

It is not just me, 3 of my colleagues who have the phone are receiving poor battery life too.

I'm hoping for a software update soon to fix this.

[Nokia Lumia 800] lumpaywk:
the update that for voicmail and outlook is reported to address a few battery bugs maybe that will help. I only had it for hours befor ei got the update though so dont know if its made a diff or not but mine drops the first bit quite quick but then sits with a tiny bit missing for ages lasted all day still got over 70% and i have been downloading apps etc. That is the other thing you prob dont realise how much juice downloading apps takes and as its new you will be downloading a ton of them and so battery probably seems worse than it is.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
I've read online that the update has already started filtering out, just checked mine, no update :-(

[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
are there any carrier mods that might be causing the drain?
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
Mine is an unlocked device.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
Mine too, hmm... I don't know why you'd be receiving such poor battery life because I haven't received the update either. Been browsing on mine for about 6 hours in the office because our WiFi blocks most forums and in still at 64 percent.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
6hrs that's crazy, mine would be dead after 4hrs!

I don't get it either, I've gone through my settings to see if I can save battery.

I have my work emails set to push, my gmail is on manual as I have a Samsung GS2.

Though I have Facebook and Twitter synced, but there appears to be no refresh settings under these 2, you can either sync or not sync, which I hope they address in an update too.

You dont use yahoo mail do you? Its caused some grief with wp7 in the past... I dont have twitter but the rest I do. The only time my battery drains fast is when I'm on WiFi. Few phones have decent WiFi power management.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
No I don't use Yahoo.

I'm connected the WIFI all the time, at home and work, maybe that's where its going, but I hope to god they fix it as I do like this phone a lot!

Good luck. I'll do the opposite.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
When it comes to the HTC HD2, wifi is a much greater drain than 3G/HSPA. I imagine it's the same for many other devices.

Patiently waiting to either afford the Lumia 800 or for an even more amazing device to be announced for the US.
[Nokia Lumia 800] undercover:
That greatly depends of a signal quality, WiFi or 3g, as phone will use more battery if signal is weak. So, where WiFi is strong and 3g is weak, use WiFi, and vice versa
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
Well I am on 79% so far, received about 5 emails, took off charge at 9am, cant tell if any improvement yet.
[Nokia Lumia 800] z33dev33l:
I'm having definitively different results. I'm still @ 88 percent but it says "time since last charge: 3 hours. Estimated time remaining: two hours. Given that I've only used 12 percent, that seems off... WiFi all day though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
Well so far I'm at 48% left, it also says 3 hours since last charge on mine, WTF I took mine off at 9am!

So it looks like better battery with Wifi off, where as my SGS2 has better Wifi management, still on 70% when I've been using it a lot!
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
So I'm home and my battery is on 38% after 9 hrs, whilst yesterday I think I was on 36% about this same time, so I doubt my issue is the Wifi draining battery.

I believe its Facebook, there is no option to change sync settings, there should be an option to be able to change it to like sync every ... rather than all the time!

Nope haven't plugged it into PC or put it on charge since this morning.

[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
There are clear battery issues with some phones :/

For me:

Took off charge at 11am, 10 hours ago.

Estimated Time Remaining: 8 hours

Battery Life: 50%

Wifi on ALL the time, about 2 hours of music listening and the rest just a lot of texting. Sometimes I have no celluar network though.
[Nokia Lumia 800] anseio:
Having no cell network is not good. Idle w/ signal is one thing, but idle while searching for signal is quite draining.
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
50% left after 10hrs, man I'd be happy with that!

Tell me have you got any social networks set up on your phone?

I own Nokia Lumia 800 and HTC Desire HD also.
[Nokia Lumia 800] brummiesteven:
Facebook and Twitter all setup, I also get a lot of Emails from my University throughout the day (aswell as all the personal and somewhat spam mail). I have quite a few live tiles also and leave Facebook Chat online in Messaging.

When I unplug the device in the morning after a full charge it tells me I have 1 Day and 17 hours remaining, although I don't think I have got that in real life yet. Bare in mind that on most days, for around 80% of the day I'm connected to wifi and NOT searching (which might help battery). Also when I have no cellular connection it's because there is none in the area I'm in (basement robotics lab at uni) just incase anyone thought there was reception issues with the phone.

My advice to anyone with poor battery would be to either hold out and wait for this software update, find a way of getting it now (internet disconnect trick might work), or try and return the phone and get a new one (although it looks like the battery issues are on certain "batches" like the Vodafone UK handsets).
[Nokia Lumia 800] maverick1103:
Man if I had as much data coming through like you do, it would be dead after 5hrs!

My phone is a VIP one so I got it through my work for free.

I'm really trying to get all the positives out, but the battery is killing it for me, but I am holding out for the update, plus batteries tend to get better after 2 weeks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] itrackit:
Can someone clarify if one should only backup apps when doing a TB or is it ok to do apps + data? this is based on a concern of moving from different roms. thx.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] :
Just backup Apps. Restoring system data will screw things up if you're switching between different roms. The data on your apps should be still there. For example, my profiles on SetCPU were still present after I completely wiped my phone/cache and restored my apps.

[LG Optimus 2x] harrykh:
I know MIUI is based on CM7 and it's supposed to be lightweight and still looks great but for the Optimus 2x specifically is MIUI atm riddled with experience breaking bugs, like no working HDMI, etc?

I've been to both MIUI english sites and their Optimus 2x forums aren't especially active or informative for the matter. People ask questions but no one ever answers, is there a more active site for the 2x MIUI?

For now the newest version is 1.10.14, being new to MIUI is there a MOD(I mean stock anything are seldom optimal) or something that's being used widely amongst o2x MIUI users that I should download?

Also what baseband should I use? Is MIUI froyo or gb based? I'm on 802 (725 on sytem info) would this work?

Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenokc:
What areas will ICS help fragmentation. It seems the biggest issues of compatibility across devices are games. Gameloft games in particular are rolled out by device. Will ICS help with one code build for all ICS devices?

I'm not an Android developer but given the power of new phones, seems it could use something like Windows Hardware Abstraction Layer and DirectX so that developers write to one API and not specific hardware. There seems to be some level of this as well as OpenGL but is ICS making this more mature so that one game build can run on all ICS devices?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Maybe a bit, but no. No matter how great the software is, hardware is always a major factor.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xenokc:
These issues were pretty much solved in Windows with DirectX and HAL drivers. With newer dual core phones and GPUs that are more powerful than the era of Win2K PCs, there should be less concern for the overhead of such APIs. Seems it's time for Google to add these layers of abstraction and resolve the fragmentation issue.

Given fragmentation is a major issue of Android, you'd think this would be a high priority with Google. I was expecting ICS to at least start the framework for some form of abstraction to hardware and especially the GPU. I'm not a (practicing) developer but it doesn't appear OpenGL is enough if games are being written to certain CPU/GPUs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loganmc10:
I've created a few Android apps, there is no hardware specific coding, you use openGL and Renderscript to do high-end graphics.

I believe the reason some high-end games are released on a per-device basis are to ensure a good user experience. Ie. they test them on the phones, make sure it works good, and then allow users with those devices to install the game.

This avoids comments like "thizzzz game issss so laggiiieeee" the comments....

Some phones are just to slow to allow them to run these high-end games (like GTA3 coming out soon), if people want to call that "fragmentation" then so be it, it's not really Google's fault. The bigger problem is the speed in which phones get the new updates (that's what needs to be improved)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
I see that the international s2 is able to use the samsungdive.com services (tracking, locking, and wiping lost or stolen samsung products), but ours are not able to. I am assuming AT&T has something to do with this and asked Samsung to remove it from the phone in order to force us to use AT&T's find my phone and family features. I think they cost extra too.

I am frustrated to say the least that my buddy at work is able to access these features on his international s2 as am I on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.

I tried to remove the 'Samsung account 1.0' from my tab 10.1 and restore it on my s2 but was unsuccessful in getting it to work. Anyone else want to take a stab at this? If you sucessfully enable it, there should be an option under location and security that opens up called, "remote services".

Good luck!

I have Frankenclean 2.8 on my fascinate (I love it btw) and I finally got approved for a replacement phone (droid x) because the fascinate has a reception issue that has yet to be resolved.

My question is this.

Can I backup my current rom using the boot loader.

Root my Droid X and install said backup from my fascinate?

If it even WERE a real dump, it's a totally different device with different system files, which will probably never even work on the SGS2.

There is a law in Korea and Japan that all Camera phones have to make a sound to prevent people from taking upskirt pictures.

market?

I have a (possibly noob) question:

After installing, say, 50 apks with this tool, will the Android Market recognize those apps as installed and offer updates when necessary? Because I remember from a past experience that none of my manually installed APKs were recognized by the market. I don't know if it's a feature or a bug, but that was what happened..

Although this tool sounds like just what I need, this possible market thing would be a dealbreaker for me..

I uploaded a new version with a fix about file naming ! Just grab the new version 1.4
[Android Apps and Games] nixd:
tried it.

hey,

i flashed my SGS last night and later on, i tried putting back my apps with this tool. it *somewhat* worked. here are my findings:

as others have mentinoed, it has problems with filenames. files with spaces caused errors and broke the whole operation, as well as files with non-english characters. I was able to fix this by batch-renaming all my APKs against spaces, and manually modifying the non-english ones.

At first, I was not able to detect the aforementioned errors, since the command prompt just disappeared on error. I was able to fix this by adding a new line with PAUSE command in the batch file. This made it so much easier for me to see what caused the error.

With these tweaks I was able to install my 130+ apps in around 8 sessions (each one interrupted by an error). After checking Market on my phone, i was sad to see none of them were detected. But after a quick reboot, the apps were there in the market's "My Apps" section. Or, most of it. Around 90 apps were detected. This might not be this tool's problem, though.

In the end, this tool is a helpful one, and I am thankful to the dev. On the usability front though, it needs some improvements; which I'm sure it will get, since I see that the dev keeps working on it.

EDIT: It seems I should've checked the changelog, as most of my problems were fixed apparently. =)
[Android Apps and Games] KarmaToBurn:
Hello

The problem with file naming is partially solved, more specific name files containing spaces is fixed at the moment but the none English name files bug

still exists working on it...

About the apps not recognized by the Google Market it is a specific problem to apk itself if the market link is embedded to the apk or not. Most of the apk's come with a market link inside some not
