I'm on EB too & batt life is pretty great. I'm a pretty heavy user(BT streaming for 2-5 hrs a day, up to an hour of phone calls, hour or two of web surfing, and hundreds of texts) & I can still make it all day just fine on a single charge. I think it's partly the rom but mostly that our phones just have damn good batteries. Even on stock I got good life.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pattyboh:
My GTab will only boot up with NVFlash in APX mode. It will not power on via the power button, nor with CWM. I just bought this GTab, tried loading CWM and it didn't take (or thought so), so tried to nvflash with CWM and now it will only boot with power and volume(-) into apx. Once it boots, all my files are there. I have tried detox from gtab for dummies. I am guessing my next option is letting the battery drain all the way and go from there? Any help would be great. thanks

PS This is my second GTAB and have experience rooting, and flashing roms.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettdwagner:
Not sure what you mean by "it only boots into APX but all my files are there." APX mode doesn't allow access to files as far as I'm aware.

Also you may want to double check the orientation of your vol + and - keys. The gtab for dummies site notes that some models have the orientation switched.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You could try one of these procedures:

1. K J Rad's procedure for unbricking gTabs. (Actually, read carefully through that entire thread.) Follow all steps exactly as mentioned.

2. Childofthehorn's method. See this video:

How to unbrick your Viewsonic G-Tablet by Railfan02.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pattyboh:
Yes, I had seen those sources for a solution. After researching and googling, this is what I found and it worked. What I meant by only boot in APX mode is, it only would load a rom via APX and I had to NVFLASH. I couldn't get into CWM Recovery with volume + or volume -, so after searching, this was my first choice and it worked on the first try.

http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/221...n-gtab-does-not-turn-on-and-stay-in-apx-mode/

If this didn't work, I was going to try Childofthehorn's option here.

[General Questions and Answers] ogami_ito:
Hi all,

A friend gave me his iPhone 4 for my SGS + about $150, which he then traded for an HTC Sensation. (Yes...I got a good deal from this). The iPhone 4 is in good shape, except the flash light doesn't work.

I've been playing around with my new iPhone. And its cool. I like how there are so many apps, and itunes sync is good. But I feel my old phone is more useful. I miss the USB mass storage mode. I like having music controls in notifications area. And I had a really cool Star Trek LCARs wallpaper that I made myself.

So I went to the phone market (I live in China) and they told me I can trade this iPhone 4 for a new SGS2 outright. Now before I pull the trigger on this, I would like to ask 2 questions:

1. Should I do this? Is this a good deal?

2. One thing I didn't like about stock SGS1 (before adding voodoo sound) was that I could not have earphones plugged in and talk on through the handset's mic. The iPhone can do this of course. I find this important because I don't want to use an adapter and I don't want to have to disconnect my headphones in order to take a call. So... with the SGS2 can I use my headphones and talk on the phone without an adapter, through the phone's mic?
[General Questions and Answers] josephislee:
Yeah, you can talk without an adapter. If you can really get an outright trade,.I suggest you so it. The gs2 is a million times better.
[General Questions and Answers] sunseaker:
Be sure you are trading for a genuine SGS2. There are fake SGS2's floating around China.
[General Questions and Answers] Rytkonen:
SGS2 is the way to go. Iphone 4 has a screen too small and the iOS has so limited functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] RbbCHan:
some info out of my family ( we have both here, Iam the SGS2 guy);

The iphone is clearly better integrated in terms of Multimedia usage; music stands and apple Tv along with the cloud services and music shops.

Also the battery life under comparable usage is much much better than the SGS2.

The new cam especially the video/HD recording is as good or even better than the SGS2.

On the other hand the SGS2 gives you more flexibility (I can play almost any video formats including DVD on my SGS2). The options for external connectors (external harddisk/usb drives) is even not available for the Iphone ( I really don't want to miss that function). Also data encryption through 3rdParty apps is much better and faster. For the Iphone only a few not really good working apps there for encryption. All business functions (read, write office documents and pdf) are much better at the SGS2. Connecting big screens and/or a keyboard for better typing is no problem with the SGS2. The WIFI of the SGS2 is much stronger also the GSM signal reception is much better than that of the Iphone.

The Iphone is for my taste much better for gaming as the SGS2 does have a new processor and many good games I used before are not or not yet supported.

I like the big screen of my SGS2 especially when it comes to web surfing.

The IOS does not give you a lot of freedom for MODS or enhancements. The android market offers plenty of them.

However, this is all from my personal point of view based on the experiences we made here,

hope this gave you some info for your decision
[General Questions and Answers] NoOneCanHelpMe:
R u talking about iphone 4S? Anyway SGS2 is amazing, i quite like DLNA feature, i watch everything from anything that has dlna in my home network, whereas it is quite hard to get iOS device to do this ( my gf has ipad 2)! The big screen is the biggest plus of the galaxy s2 and it also plays flash smoothly even 1080p :)))
[General Questions and Answers] Galactus:
ROFL New Cam???? he must be talking about the 4S lol, SGS2 destroys the iPhone 4
[General Questions and Answers] sxi200:
I have an iPhone 4 and the s2. The s2 is my main phone. The iPhone is on prepaid.

Basically, if I was to drop and break one of them I would hope its the iPhone. I love my galaxy much more.

Mind you the iPhone is modded to the max but it still can't compete.
[General Questions and Answers] Rexton270:
As the others suggests do it. I did the same (swapped i4 for SGS II +£100) and no regretts :D:D:D
[General Questions and Answers] DirkTeur Velserbroncx:
Really surprised you even ask. you should trade it this instance.

Lol iphony
[General Questions and Answers] DrGomez:
Funny thing is if you drop the iphone it will probably break. If you drop your Galaxy it probably won't break. Check out the drop test video on YouTube.
[General Questions and Answers] ogami_ito:
OK guys. I bought the SGS2. I had to pay about $50+ in addition to the iPhone 4. I like it alot. BUT, I have a problem now...

Check it out in my signature and read the intro, let me know what you think or want reviewed.

I do intend to repost links to stuff I find interesting from the various sources I read and give commentary on it as well. So this will include new's and other general tech info.

Thank you for your consideration!
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Looks interesting will look and see where it goes in the future I agree tho HTC n Sprint are pretty good downfall of HTC is their lack of the next big phone on sprint atm EVO 3d was a little of a flop nice phone could have been better. Will have to see how they do with ics and getting it out.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Thank's for the veiw!

Yeah HTC has some cool devices coming out, but Sprint is missing out. They need to give Sprint a Beats phone, hopefully with the Bliss ROM on it I love that UI and the new Rosie has to be my all time favorite.

I think they will work magic with ICS, Sense overlay would be nice especially with what I have been seeing of 3.5!
[EVO 4G General] linsalata28:
Looks kind of cool I read just about anything that has anything to do with android so I follow and see where it goes.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Thank you! I appreciate it! I am kinda the same way, I have a bunch of android and gadget reviewers on Google reader, some even on that and Twitter.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
lots of people seem to have mixed results with beats and with ICS i think the sense overlay while it looks nice ICS looks good its the actual first stock android look that is nice.It would be nice if they cut back sense or got rid of their launcher anyways. the main reason companys created overlays was due to the lack of smoothness android didnt have. google really outdid their self with ICS imo its what 2.3 and 3.0 should have been.

Check it out!!!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I think it'd be good, because I flashed it for my friend on their thunderbolts, and I was actually fairly impressed. I think putting some light back on them would be good cuz for the evo, when it first got rooted, they were the place to be, but now with more developers, more people are spread out, but they're great roms for aosp.

I actually just flashed it about 2 hours ago. :p I'm impressed with it; has the correct pngs, flows nicely, even without a reboot.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
Nice! How exciting! I am working on a review of the Runny bliss Hybrid this week and then I will do OMFGB next week.

I am looking to do a ROM a week that way I can use it the whole week and give a more well rounded opinion. I am currently doing everything as is, with no kernel or other tweaks just the ROM as it comes. I will flash Gapps of course and my normal apps...

I am glad to have caught your attention and hope to bring some more users to your fabulous ROM, which I have been know to use from time to time. Are you running the latest nightly or the stable?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Oh no...i'm not teh haxxorxz , who did them rom. I did my own once, but that was private and a while ago. xp. Though he does make reat roms.

But doing the rom as is, no mods is the bets, because you can accurately reflect battery life, speed, ect.

[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Nice been wondering about some of these 3.5 roms my one question is are they hogs on internal space like 3.0 or no?
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Yea they would be, which is why a lot of people using them partition their sd cards, to save some internal space, but they can be used un-partitioned.
[EVO 4G General] imheroldman:
They have the ROM's partitioned so its all in the "ROM memory" there its actually internal memory free.

I ran it for a whole week with no mods at all and it was smooth very rare lag and no crashes. Although I only use about 40 apps, there its plenty of memory, but moving cache to sd and apps to sd helps.

No, once you flash CM7 you would lose the Samsung software that Kies relies on to connect.

I'm running Unnamed but the fact is Kies does rely on software in the ROM to work. If you want to use Kies you need a stock based rom, not a CM based rom.

Is it necessary to unlock bootloader to install this minicm7 v20?

It is my first try. I rooted first. Then I installed CWM 3.2. When i downloaded this rom and did the recomended procedure for CWM 3 my phone entered in infinity bootloop. Miraculously, pressing the menu button before "Sony ericssom" appear in the screen, i entered in the CWM 3.2 menu and did a recovery ^_^'

Just do not know what did wrong
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] blackomnimon2:
you don't need to unlock bootloader to install minicmpro, because the rom isn't custom kernel ready.

infinity bootloop? in recovery, do factory reset/wipe data

I did factory reset, i did the indicated procedure. This time i will try install CWM by other way.

I thought maybe if i could find it wiping cache and data on that apk would remove it. If there is anyone out there that may be able to help i would greatly appreciate it.

As seen in pic its only the keyboard. Also kote that swype keyboard and gingerbread keyboard are both the same as the system font for some reason its only this keyboard and that is it.

Hey there everyone. Here is the story in list format.

- Got first Galaxy S2 (Tmobile)

- after a few days rooted the phone using odin

- uninstalled bloatware via titanium back up pro

- installed a few apps(fb, twitter, swift key x, mobli, two different font changers)

- everything was running smoothly until i actually installed a font and the app prompted for a reboot.

- i reboot and the booting process freezes at the bootloader logo (tried countless times)

- i enter recovery mode to wipe phone.

- wipe phone.

- same issue.

- i thought then that the phone had some sort of issue in itself.

- i take the phone to tmobile a few days later and tell em some bs.

- get my new phone.

- root it again same way.

- uninstall all the bloatware i want gone and install all the apps i want.

- again SAME thing happens when i install this font changing program.

the program downloads previews for 146ish fonts. you select one. it actually downloads it and reassigns the default font with the font you download and after a reboot it should work.

except i get a frozen bootloader screen. so this time around i am convinced of the app somehow messing with the bootloader settings (etc...)

soooo...i decide to flash "SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure // Root // Busybox" by bubby323.

odin says its successful, but still same freezing issue at bootloader.

help please.

and trust me, i learned my lesson....never downloading that program again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Romanbb:
There are drivers posted in the dev section, be sure to try and download them again.

Your phone's "/sdcard/" location is actually an internal SD card. So when you use CWM to mount the sdcard, it will mount both the internal, and external SD card if it can. So you should still be able to do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeikazou:
as you said i was able to mount and copy over the rom, but after i copied over the rom file, it does not show on the android cwm file menu. maybe if i restart the phone?ill try it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeikazou:
still no go the rom file is not showing, the drivers have been installed. i reinstalled them JUST in case.

maybe i'm doing something.

- i mount usb storage

- copy over rom tar files

- unmount and look for it in the apply update from sd card and install zip from sd card selections but both show no files.
