Well, it depends on how wisely you undervolt and also make use of many no of features this kernel offers. I haven't used miui. So i don't know if something specific, like media scanner running endlessly or something that's causing battery drain.

I'm on gingermod rom. With siyah, battery is really good. See this (my own :) ) post about some of the features for saving battery in Siyah, that the dev has incorporated. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19231855&postcount=9615

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mister2quick:
Is there anything that exists that will allow the phone to force to roam instead of sprints service?

I am currently in an area that has next to no sprint but full roaming and the phone will get hung up on trying to connect back to sprint service and I'll lose data until I airplane mode and back.

I'm not looking for a permanent fix, but maybe just an app or kernel that will allow me to actually use the phone.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

55% brightness is perfect for me. I found it's the correct setting if you use the stock browser at manual brightness also. Meaning if you turn off auto brightness in the stock browser you can't match the brightness setting with the screen. If you ever tried it you can get exactly 50% on the screen, but the browser only goes slightly below or slightly above 50%. It's a minor detail, but it urked me every time I opened the browser, and the brightness changed.

Anyway, at 55% brightness I get about 18 hours of battery life, and within that my "screen on" time is anywhere from 3 and half, to 4 and a half hours. Depending on what I'm doing. Basic browsing last longer. Games shorter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rlzu:
Hey! I'm new to the forums and just got a Skyrocket this week.

I was just wondering if its possible to force the LTE signal to HSPA only or even Edge/3g?

Looks like the LTE radio is locked pretty tight. Anyone out there find a method to bypass this? I've tried the administrative menus in the Phone Information menu and even some of the Apps in the market LTE on/off and nothing seems to work.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kadin:
Pretty sure you can change your APN settings to allow only hspa since lte seems to require the PTA setting. Look for the various settings and I'll update later if you have no luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
I thought of that too for battery saving.

Here in Canada I tried changing the APN from the default LTE setting to the internet.com setting but it is still stuck on 4G. I didn't subscribe to LTE plan yet but Speedtest.net tests is still better on the LTE apn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Da_G:
*#2263#* gives access to the RAT selection menu, which lets you choose to park on GSM/UMTS/LTE, and separately which bands (850,1900,1700,2100, etc.) to park on within each technology.

Unfortunately the menu is restricted on our current radio, in my experience with previous Samsung UMTS radios we will need to flash a radio that is not restricted (at least temporarily, to unlock the menu) to get access to this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
@cue_32 i believe its supposed to say LTE when you are on lte. if it says 4g its really just 3g (or 3g+).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] techsican:
It would be great if an LTE on/off switch was created. If the current radio restricts this from occurring would be a huge bummer. I'll have to dig around on the Development blog to see if anyone is starting to look into this or creating some kinda switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EvilEvo:
The TPC rom gives you the option to choose LTE or HSPA in the settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
What would be nice is if the ROM only connects to 3G when on idle, then go to 4G or LTE when data is being used. For better battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jbsg02:
Agreed, the original GSII does that with hspa and 3g

[General Questions and Answers] samsungy:
Hi guys,

This is my very first post and Glaxay Gio(S5660M) is my very first android phone!

I got this phone brand new from Bell. Wanted to unlock it to use on Rogers. Found out that the phone doesn't register any valid IMEI!

I press *#06# and IMEI shows up blank. The same happens when I go to setting->Phone status->IMEI. Nothing is there. The box and the lable underneath the battery show a valid IMEI number but nothing is registered INSIDE the phone.

Now, I tried a Bell SIM card and the phone works fine. But no luck with any other SIM card. How is it possible to operate a cell phone without IMEI?

Is it still possible for me to root and flash this phone to original Samsung firmware?

I have no experience in rooting or flashing but I don't mind trying the methods explained in this forum.

Please advise.

Cheers,
[General Questions and Answers] russ18uk:
Seems you used the STL5 method to get the unlock code. That method is out of date and causes a large percentage of corrupt EFS. There's no known way to restore it right now; you have to take it back to your shop and act dumb.

[General Questions and Answers] samsungy:
This phone is brand new. It was never activated through Bell Canada nor was it unlocked or tampered with.

I believe the IMEI is there but Bell's firmware blockes it from being displayed before activation. Is it possible?

I called Bell and they said I should activate the phone, then their system loads the new phone number and the IMEI into the phone so I can use it.

Now, with a valid IMEI in the system, I can go ahead and unlock the phone using tested methods, right?

Please advise.
[General Questions and Answers] samsungy:
Could someone please help me out here?

This phone is prepaid by Bell Canada. The phone is not activated by Bell so there is no phone number associated with it. It is brand new.

I check the lock status of the phone and all gategories show as "OFF" but it does not work with any SIM card except Bell!

IMEI shows as two small empty boxes. No number or anything. Eveything else looks fine. All apps run well.

Now, what should I do? Can I root, flash and put the official firmware on it? Is it possible to do so? Some say the EFS is corrupted if no IMEI is showing. But how come the phone works with Bell SIM card?

Please help!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] sparky999:
Hi All,

I just ordered this case for my wife's A100.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0060N4OIK/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

I have a case for my A500, from the same manufacturer, that I am very happy with.

Should get it later today. I can post my thoughts on it once it arrives if anyone is interested.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DaveRichardson:
Wow, this case looks excellent--just like the one I had on my Transformer. Thanks for posting!

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] iamgbot:
Just wait, when they are new it just takes some time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DaveRichardson:
How is this only $15????? And eligible for Amazon Prime, too!

This case is absolutely phenomenal.

Feels like you're holding a dense leather rectangle of quality.

-Fit and finish is perfection

-Thing is completey rigid (no twist or slop-- unlike those bezel-covering slide-in-pocket flip cases)

- Stand is solid and stable

- The clasp mechanism feels fantastic (really, when this thing is closed, it feels locked down).

- Protects the screen, back plastic, and corners. Seems to offer about as much shock/crush/drop protection as any case I've ever seen, yet adds very little in the way of bulk and mass.

- Access to all ports/plugs

Can't exaggerate how much I love this case. Protection factor aside, the thing simply makes me like using my table more.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BigGunn:
Thanks for the review! Definitely going with this case now.

Cr@p! I waited too long and Amazon is sold out with no restock date. There are several cases out there, but the Blurex was the only one I saw with corner clips instead of the chunky looking leather frame.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
I contacted Blurex to see if there were any other resellers, and they said that it would be back in stock on Amazon shortly. A few hours later, and it's back in stock!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] orgwizard:
how sure are you that it would help survive a fall while open and in use...looks like it would pop out...

trying to decide between thsi and

the acer bumpter case

http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/model/LC.BAG0A.070
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] DaveRichardson:
Depending on height of fall and hardness of contact surface, I'm not sure I'd bet on a pane of glass in any case, but the Blurex's corner-clips do hold the tablet with some serious authority. It'd take some funky, but not impossible, physics to pop it out.

The bumper case you linked to looks like what I had in mind before going for the Blurex offering. I figured the small form factor made the A100 more like a reach-for-it-and-go phonelet than a full tablet, so I wanted a hard, snap case with no flap to contend with. When using the tablet in portrait, I'll occasionally get annoyed with the folded-back flap, but the more complete protection and premium/professional appearance/feel of the Blurex case more than make up for it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] mightydr:
I received the Blurex case mentioned by the OP yesterday.

Quite frankly, I have not seen any case fit any device better.

It significantly reduces the amount of bulk the "OEM" case has;

Because it basically has *no* sides, it does not have the OEM case's problem of ports not lining up quite right; and

Its material seems higher quality and is easier to grip in my opinion.

Also, under current (not Black Friday) pricing, it costs only half as much.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] gkmedina:
Very nice case i like it
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] RangerJay:
I received the blurex case today, ordered based on what I read here.

It does seem well-made and I very much like that it adds very little to the dimensions and weight of the A100.

At first the clasp that closes the cover annoyed me when holding it open in portrait to read like a book. (I use Kindle frequently.) The sharp corner dug into the side of my finger.

Then I got out a nail file and just lightly softened the one corner and that pretty much took care of the problem.

As a result, the rounded clasp actually works as a finger hold to grasp the tablet in one hand without putting my thumb on the screen. (See photos.)

Overall, it's a pretty good addition.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] merlinsrealm:
I ordered mine last night. I hate the actual case that acer puts out. Cant wait for this one to come in...

My BluRex case arrived yesterday, and it's even smaller than I expected. It a very nicely made case (especially for the price), and fits like a really tight glove (insert OJ joke here). My only concern is that the clip that holds the cover closed might wear through the finish on the side of the tablet over time. Otherwise, great case! Highly recommended!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] orgwizard:

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nolan.b:
Blurex was out of stock, but stumbled across this at Bureau En Gros.

Acer Portfolio, has a carbon finish and similar looking to the Blurex though not as slim as the Blurex.

All the ports and camera holes fit great. This model doesn't have a smell that i've read in other threads. It doubles as a stand too.

Cover holds down by a magnet, so no intrusive or wailing clasp.

Check out the attachments.

p.s. i had initially posted this in the A500 / A100 case thread, my apologies for double post
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Equalizir:
So Nolan, do you like the case?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] nolan.b:
Hey EQ,

I'm a bit torn. One reason I picked up the 7 inch form factor was for it's size, this case adds "considerable thickness". I can do without the front flap ( a la leather bumper style would be prefered to keep it compact). Or wish it was removable.

It does look very sleek/clean with the carbon fiber look, and provides all around protection keeping access to all A100 buttons and sockets. The stand holds up as any other "tablet case" feature--personally don't care for this feature and would've preferred a straight back, as the front cover. As seen in photo, the back has a fold down the middle which sags; somewhat kills the cleanliness of the case.

Considering the number of accessories out there (or lack thereof) I will hold onto it but keep. Slipping out the device is pretty quick anyways.

Paid ~40.00. $19.99-24.99 would sound reasonable and would've added a smirk on my face.

Overall, ya i'm content with it.

Option two would be getting hold of an Acer Bumper combo'd with a leather manila-stye envelope slip cover.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Equalizir:
It does look good with the carbon fiber look. I'm not a fan though of leather. Prefer a plastic or hard rubber case. Too bad there aren't any available. Thanks for getting back to me.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bravobob:
Anyone check these out as yet? Its seems that it has some decent reviews on Amazon site, but I was curious if anyone in the forum had gone ahead and bought one and what did they think of it.

I put this on my Xmas list thinking it wouldn't be sold out and no where to be found. Anyone know where else to get one? I've searched all over. Ended up sending blurex an email. Hopefully they're going to make some more.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Jolest:
Please let us know what response you get. Also, what is email address for Blurex?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Jolest:
Thanks for the info, but that looks like the case I originally bought along with the A100. IMHO, I've rarely seen a worse design for a case. While it -does- protect the A100 well enough, most of the access holes are just far enough off that I constantly(!!) had to push the A100 around in the case to get any of them to line up.

And, the big no-sale for me was the edge of the case around the screen. It was right up to the edge of the display/touch area. Since the case was about a 1/4 inch thick, and bowed away from the screen in places, the case made it difficult to see or touch anything right at the edge of the screen.

After a couple of weeks, of frustration, I sent it back for a refund and got a cheap stretch-on case until I can find something better.

IMHO, Acer should be ashamed to put their name on a case that frustrating to use. :mad:

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

[Followup] After looking more closely at the photos you included (23" monitors are still better for some things than a 7" tablet), I realized that is NOT the same case I bought from Acer even though they look very much alike at first glance.

The one I got was the "Protective Case" -NOT- the "Portfolio Case". The "Protective Case" is very effective at protecting the A100 from being used. I can't say for sure about the "Portfolio Case". From your photos, it looks like they may have fixed most of the problems with accessing the ports, but it looks like the problem with the case edge being too close to the working space of the screen is still there. I'm going to keep looking.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] ED2O9:
It looks like the Blurex cases are back in stock. At $25 it's not as great of a deal as it was at $15, but it's still an outstanding case for the A100.
