[HTC Desire S] dabado:
The notification drop down quick setting has a power efficiency option which is not displayed in the power or data settings. I have it switched off as it was killing my wifi connection even though it is set to never sleep so I am guessing the power save setting overrides these options, i.e when battery is really low this conserves power. And in my experience, having mobile data always on slaughters the battery and even with it not set to always on my emails/notifications come through.
[HTC Desire S] sotmax:
I d never had any problem at all with that rom...only the market is a little bit slow but is the same as stock.

This new market sucks i think.
[HTC Desire S] akuma24:
I had that issue when I updated my radio, reverted back to previous version which did the trick for me

This is in response to your 3g signal disappearing
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
Ok, let's recap... Make sure that:

- In the dropdown settings, "Power Efficiency" is OFF

- "Settings-> Power->Power Mode": High Performance

- "Settings-> Power->Enable Sleep Mode": Never

- "Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Enable always-on mobile data": Checked (turned on)

It it's still dropping the 3G connection when sleeping, I'm at a loss. Maybe the radio, as Akuma mentioned...

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers
[HTC Desire S] ammenRA:
how do i make the status bar full transparant? setting it via Endy control center or RCMix3D doesn't work.

flashing this mod works but it also made the pull down menu, battery, signal etc disappear.
[HTC Desire S] H3lli0n:
After running MikeRunny for couple of weeks then trying some ICS roms (means all lol) , I switched back to stable state with this Endymion version.

I'm impressed with the battery life ! Currently at 76% after 1 day of uptime (low and normal use) ! Woowww nice battery uptime :eek:
[HTC Desire S] fbcyborg:
Absolutely not.

Yes, it is OFF.

The Market is a little bit slow during loading to me too actually.

This is very interesting... I haven't thought it could be a radio problem actually.

If it is so, I don't have any problem to change that.

OK! Checked them all! Only the last one was not set to ON. Even if I don't use to set the last one to ON, but simply I put the Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Network to ON only when I need it (and if I need it for a whole day, I simply put it to ON instead to set the permanent 3G connection as you suggested), I'll do this test to see what happens.

Of course! :)
[HTC Desire S] lowveld:
That's not what it does, you can still turn it off. What it does is keeping the connection up (if enabled) no matter if you're actually using it. This was probably your problem. Let me know how it goes.

Cheers

[HD7 General] dedhandi:
I have an AT&T branded HD7 (it says HTC T9295 in Zune) which I'm trying to update. I think the phone was originally a pre-release handset and the OS version is 7.0.7348. I can copy and paste so perhaps this is pre-NoDo build? Anyway, trying to update to NoDo and beyond - the phone plus Zune is telling me that an update (7392) is available. Zune is allowing me to get right to the last step of the update process before giving me a 80180048 error. I've tried the Windows Phone Support tool but get "The tool cannot recover this phone. Please contact technical support." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polarbearmc:
so i'm currently using a t-mobile g2, but i'm definitely considering the galaxy nexus being my next phone. might even switch to verizon for it (but most likely will just wait for it on t-mobile).

my question is, and this really probably applies to all ICS phones, but for now, mainly to the galaxy nexus, is what happens with the menu button with all my current apps? i'm sure that many devs will be updating their apps to take advantage of and deal with any and all changes, but as it is, like 99% of my apps using the menu button, and since there is none now, i was curious how that works... i know from what i've read that alot of the main system apps (browser, camera, email/gmail, calendar, etc) have a menu button built into the layout... but what about 3rd party apps?

this is just something i was wondering about. i'm sure once i have one in my hand it will all make sense, but figured i'd ask :-)

Dave
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayzeroeee:
My best guess is it will show up in the bottom bar, similar to how it works in Honeycomb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polarbearmc:
ok now i haven't messed with honeycomb at all, so does that mean the bar with the back/home/multitasking buttons is context sensitive and it could potentially change to include a menu button when needed with older apps?

thats what i was guessing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rdy2go:
Menu button will be there most of the time like in honeycomb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lorenx:
i saw three or four hands-on and the bottom bar buttons have always been those three.

as far as i could understand, the menu is now raised by the "three dots" that appears contextually, often in the upper-right...

if i am right, it is at least a questionable choise i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidbuff123:
I think you are right.. menu is going to be included in the app itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayzeroeee:
That only works for apps that are built for ICS. For apps that still rely on the hard menu button there will have to be some way to bring up the menu.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sano614:
In honeycomb if there is a menu button present in the app there wont be a menu button on the bottom of the screen. If there is no menu button present in the app there will be one on the bottom of the app.

I'm sure it'll be just like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
In ICS applications the menù button is "3 dots" in somewhere in the app.

In Gingerbread applications that runs in ICS, in the bar with back, home and multitasking buttons, will appear the "3 dots" button, that is like the "menù" button in GB.

esxuse me for my english.

source: hdblog.it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lbrfabio:
if the app doesn't support the menu button within the app, then you'll see a "three dots button" near the three soft button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] polarbearmc:
yea looks like a few of you have confirmed what i thought. the main "button" bar at the bottom is context sensitive and as needed a 4th, menu button will appear. but i'm sure most devs will start rebuilding their apps for ics in the future to not need it.

thanks!

actually starting to get really excited for this change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
I got a certain idea that since the buttons are from the screen, and therefore, rendered, modders will find a way to include more or less buttons, and even change their icon. I wouldn't be too surprised.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
Quick screenshot from the second video of the mentioned HDblog showing the "three dots" menu button in apps that are not optimized for ics.

You can find it in the second video at around 7min 30 sec.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin860:
I have this app "friend caster pro" I can get notifications from either gmail sync or periodic polling what would use more battery sync or polling every 10-15 mins and why?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin860:
Anyone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin860:
Bump.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ends:
I imagine polling would use less battery. Sync is a constant thing that is always running. Plus it involves more than just your google account. Polling in intervals only uses the battery during those intervals. There are apps that save your battery and have options to customize settings just like this. Juice Defender is amumg the best. Very customizable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doman64:
Hi,

I'm sure there's a thousand post about it but after going through of lot of them none helped me.

I have rooted my phone for backup purposes with CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4.tar and everything went smooth.

Now I have a signal problem with my phone and I have to send it for repair through warranty. My phone is from Bell Canada so it's a branded phone.

I tried to unroot my phone with Super One Click but it always freeze at step 6 (also tried the unplug/usb debug/replug trick but didn't work).

Then I found the stock rom CSC_I9100MBMCKG2 so I figured if I flashed with it it would work, but im still rooted (still have root word in kernel version, also have superuser and CWM in my apps, and the yellow exclamation mark and lost the M in GT-I9100M).

I did order the USB Jig for the exclamation mark and custom rom counter, but that won't help for the rest.

Any idea? Troubleshooting step?

Thanks,

Dominic

UPDATE: Tried with S2 Root, stays stuck at Remounting /system as Read Only
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Doesn't sound like that was the stock rom at all, where did you find it?

So samsung DIVE is easy to kill. not sure if its the latest build or not. if my phone gets stolen. if finder gets pass my screen locks and pin numbers they just need to go to accounts and REMOVE samsung account and DIVE is inactivated. NO password required

is this just a retarded miss from Samsung? should i get another lock software?

Have i missed something or is it really that simple to kill DIVE?
[HD2 General] o23457:
Hi,

I mistakenly plugged a powered cable into my headphone jack. I was in my car, it was dark; I meant to grab the audio cable so that could connect my phone to the car stereo. Instead, I grabbed the power cord to a backup display and inserted it into my HD2. The phone is fine, but I now get very little sound out of the headphone jack. I was wondering if there is a fuse on the jack that guards against power input and if so, can this fuse be replaced? Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, I guess I will need to get a Bluetooth headset in order to listen to music and movies again.

Thanks for your help,

Hello,

Any1 know where I can purchase a replacement screen for the Samsung Galaxy Epic 4g Touch for SPRINT. (galaxy s2)?

Please let me know

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
Amoled is very difficult to replace because it is fused to the glass. The advantage of this is that it stays dust free unlike LCD (google dust under screen and you will see the problem with LCDs). The disadvantage is if you break the screen you are screwed.

If you broke the screen, try this. Call sprint, tell them you want to cancel. They will try to scare you with fees, etc. But stay persistent. When they ask you why you want to cancel, say "you broke your phone and you are going to switch carriers so you can get a subsidized phone." They will bring up the fee again, but just stay persistent. Eventually, they may offer you a replacement at the subsidized price. If they let you cancel without making the offer, it is easy to call back up and cancel the cancel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bluefire808:
You can always go into a sprint store if you have insurance and they will fix the screen at a. Cheap price or you can pay the still cheap price and get a new one for 100$ through insurance

I've had my TF for about 4 months now and all of a sudden this morning I adjusted my brightness to a little over 50% and the screen went blank. Im running stock and not even rooted. The only way to get the display back on is to wipe and reboot. Even after wiping i tried turning up the brightness again and the same thing happened. Ive came to a conclusion that it only blacks out with the brightness turned up. I was wondering if you guys could help or it might be a hardware issue.

At least the Android flagship device actually has new features... *whip_sound.mp3*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nathanpc:
^ Says the only guy on the staff that has not started to write his opinion in the post :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arch3rm:
I'm very impressed by the device.

But analizing that I don't think I'd be so keen to buy it if it wasn't for ICS, In much the same way that iOS5 makes the iPhone4S.

That said, I'm loving the curve of the device, I always found the one on the Nexus S to be too deep, but the Galaxy Nexus seems to look perfect with it.

I know it's not Sammy's way, but some aluminium would have been nice, I guess thats just a personal preference. Lets wait and see how good this Hyper-skin is

Lack of a beatiful UI and clean uniform patterns has always been a gripe of mine in Android and I'm very excited to see everything coming together for the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxhorseriderxxx:
the inline spellchecker, keyboard, new notifications, swipebetweens are what I liked from 4.0, but the phone itself is meh =\ No SD card slot, 5Mpx, expensive carrier, meh chipset, and no hardware navigation buttons are enough to turn me off. I can't believe how good the phone is despite the fact that that it falls short in key areas =[
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arch3rm:
Why is this?

I'm liking how they're virtual.

Slightly disappointing that they're there at all, have you used a Blackberry play book or MacOS Lion, the gestures on both of these are fantastic and I'd hope that android would more to something similar in the future
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
From what I've seen, the package certainly looks very impressive. The screen looks amazing...super AMOLED is already awesome but now in HD! Wow.

The dual core 1.2 ghz CPU is standard...the fact that its a Texas Instruments rather than Exynos is not a biggie for me. They are both comparable...its all about software optimizations in the end.

5MP camera is good enough...more megapixels does not necessarily mean much after 5. Ram is standard 1 gigabyte which is very good.

Now onto ICS. Very impressed from what I've seen again. It looks a lot like honeycomb for tablets which is good. It looks quite smooth and fast.

I've read somewhere that GPU acceleration has been confirmed to have been implemented but I'm not sure. I've not read any official confirmation of that. Perhaps someone can clear it up for me here. If it has then great. It was my number one priority for ICS.

Overall, there seems to be a lot of new features in ICS but only hands on time will tell. It certainly looks great. Smooth and very Fast!

The hardware of the galaxy nexus is awesome i think. 32 gigabyte storage is also important. I do wish however that they had included an SD card slot. But I'm sure 32 should be enough for most.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeitgeb3r:
GalaxyNexus is a meh! spec compared to S2.

SG3 will be announced 2012 January.

Rumor says it will have quad core.

If so, then I think I'll bypass GalaxyNexus and wait for S3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Honestly i dont understand the craziness about quad cores. Aside from 1gig of ram and standard 1ghz dual chip i could care less about quad cores in phones.

I'm not having a go...i mean really, what would one do with a quad core phone that one couldn't do with a dual core. Software optimization is the key now i think.

Aside from high Res graphics for certain games i do not see the fascination with quad cores and dual gpus etc.

There comes a point where the specs cannot really add much more to the overall experience anymore. I think we are getting to that point now. The software is gonna be the most important aspect from now on i think. We finally have incredible powerful hardware, but there are still lags and slowdowns etc.

These wont change with quad cores or double tripple quad dual cores or whatever. What is needed is software optimizations. Optimizations that fully take advantage of the available hardware. Only this will fix our lags and slowdowns and enhance our usage of mobile computing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Software optimizations, and for battery technology to finally catch up with transistors...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vzontini:
I will have to hold and play with the the device to get a feel for the size. Coming from a Nexus One the Galaxy Nexus seems huge. Right now this is my main worry.

I don't care about Mega-pixels. The performance of the camera, lens, and image processing software is far more important. I want clear pictures, good indoor/low light, minimal shutter lag on start-up and between shots, and a flash that actually works well with the camera (i.e. intelligently controls output based on the shot details). It's hard to grade the device yet on these items.

If Google finally put deep rooted GPU acceleration into the OS and made it so that developers don't have to jump through hoops to use it then that will be an awesome change. The iPhones have often had lower spec hardware but buttery smooth performance due to software optimization and solid use of the GPU. I really hope this is real for Android.

I've posted elsewhere but I think lack of an SD card is a conscious choice because I don't think Google has worked out the kinks with SD cards post-Gingerbread. SD card support still isn't that great in HoneyComb. This could be a win for the user experience and since I can live with 32GB I'm not marking it down for this item.

I liked the improvements in Ice Cream Sandwich, especially the attempts at making the interface more consistent. Having home screens navigate left-right but having the app drawer navigate up-down never made sense. These screens look too similar to work differently. Putting widgets in a tab in the app drawer and making their addition to home screens consistent with apps also makes sense.

No hardware buttons is nice. I have a Honeycomb tablet and having the buttons move with the screen when going from portrait to landscape is nice and again adds consistency to the user experience. Once you get used to it having buttons fixed in portrait orientation like on current phones seems awkward. Also having the buttons change with the context of the application is a nice feature.

Anyone hear of any improvements in VPN support, specifically Cisco AnyConnect. So far it has only been available for certain phones due to tunnel driver issues. It would be a nice addition to the Galaxy Nexus since the HD display would make Citrix Receiver or other business apps easier to use on a phone.

FYI. ICS does have hardware acceleration added. See android.com for ICS features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Griffrez:
In terms of performance... a OMAP Dual-Core 1.2 GHz should a ****ing BEAST. So... quite enough. I was hoping for 1.5 GHz, though. :P

In terms of design... I need to look at the model later when it gets released... the color and the dock dots seem a bit off.

The buttons... I hope that CM or other teams are able to make ICS render other buttons (like a 4th search button, or at least change the icons, they look too honeycomb-ish).

ICS looks great. That message response to call thingie sounds like a great feature.

NFC sounds like a neat feature too because you won't have to go around menus to send someone something... as long as they have a NFC device too. With ICS. The new wallpapers look great too, I guess. Not to speak about Hardware Acceleration!!!

Overall, I still gotta wait. I'm also going to wait for the usual price cuts that happen after 4~5 months of release to get it, if I am going to get it. Or I might wait for the next Nexus... hopefully Motorola isn't going to **** it up.
