[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jag233:
I have searched on here and can't really find an answer. I have an Htc Titan, working well, apart from Espn goals which won't play videos, most times the error comes up straight away saying cannot play video but sometimes it will play the advert and then give the error. This is the same whether I use wifi or 3g. Would this have anything to do with my location? I am in Northern Ireland in the UK.

I am in no way responsible for any damage to your device, Neither is engadget

Here is the complete description of how to do it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FMAranda:
I didn't had to do this things, I got an invite from Google on the launch day, but, better than all these crazy steps, just search for those proxy sites, load music.google.com from it, accept the TOS and after that you will not be blocked anymore, even if you stop using this method.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] xdadadev:
Hi,

I can see application on PCs where you can unlock it by having an identified paired device next to it.

I'm looking for similar for unlocking the phone: the idea is that if I have my bluetooth headphone with me then there is no need to unlock the phone (since I'm around), and if not, then the pattern or code is required.

Of course if somebody stole my headphone and my phone... it will get bad.

Anybody as seen or used a similar app ?

thanks,

Damien
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kimocal:
Try Tasker. Create a State bluetooth profile. You'll need Secure Settings from the market that works in conjunction with Tasker.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] crusader911:
Hello,

I have read all the forums and have successfuly concluded that Android can be run on LG Fathom. I have read all the threads and also some forums on another websites.

Now as recommended, when i try to install android following all the steps, and when i click on haret.exe, it displays "Booting Linux" and thus, after that 5-6 lines are displayed and thus it freezes on "Jumping to Kernel".

Please instruct me how to install android because i just bought the phone 5 days ago and dont have money to buy another one with android.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Crusader911

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
I see several threads talking about battery life but no one has shown their actual "screen on" time which is what really counts, as it tells us how long have you actually been using the phone for.

I am starting this thread in order to try to collect a more accurate representation of how long the Galaxy Nexus battery lasts, using screen on time as the biggest factor (which it is).

So, in order to find this out, owners of the GNexus, please go to the battery stats section and tap on the "Screen" line, which will tell you for how long has the display been on.

How long are you guys seeing the display last until the battery is really low?

As a frame of reference, I remember seeing about 6-7hrs max on the Galaxy S2, when used with mainly black backgrounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ock:
I'm interested in this too. While each person's usage will differ, a couple of figures/screenshots would help gauge how much more battery the large screen uses as compared to phones some are planning to switch from.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkoroje:
From my testing using 3g browsing the phone lasts at most 4 hours with screen on. This is at manual 40% brightness since automatic brightness makes the screen too dark for me. Battery life is definitely worse than galaxy S2 in fact it is so bad that I an considering returning the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
ok..... ive had a quiet day of usage .... few calls, several texts, couple of pictures, bit of browsing and ten mins testing video capabilities. my stats are :

7h 15m on battery

screen 57%

android os 17%

phone idle 8%

mobile standby 4%

media server 4%

vplayer 3%

Android system 2%

Voice calls 2%

Browser 2%

wifi 2%

and my battery is still at 65% !!! :eek:

i never used to get this much juice out of my HTC Desire !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Please go back to battery stats and tap on "Screen" to know exactly how much time has the screen been on for. That is what we really need to know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkoroje:
The standby life of the phone with the screen off is fine. However, with the screen on it gobbles power and lasts 4 hours max. Here is screenshot of my usage today: . This is with about 3 and a half hours of browsing over 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Guys, thanks for the screenshots but please tap on the Screen percentage bar to show actual screen on time. That is the statistic we need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkoroje:
Here it is, it is actually worse than I thought the screen was only on for 2h 27min:

I did manually set the brightness to around 40% since as I said before auto-brightness is too dark for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Thanks, that's what I needed. It is indeed pretty bad, as I expected SAMOLED is still an awful choice for web browsing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
That's the case with all screens. Until battery technology gets an update (in two to four years time) we won't see a better performance without extended battery.

That's just how it is. It never bothered me on HTC Desire. During one day I don't use the screen more than three or four hours in total. At best I use it one hour in the morning during the process of getting to work and one hour to get home and then an hour in between during calls, checking news or reading e-mail. I personally am totally fine with it, it is not meant to replace a computer or a tablet that both have much better power supply simply thanks to their size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
my screen has now been on for 1h 32 mins

(total 8h 34 and now 64% battery)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
shame......we need more people to chime in. I've heard about better battery life than a few hours of screen time.

Only reason why i like iPhone....can browse internet for hours and hours and hours and GPS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkoroje:
I also do not usually use the phone more than 3 - 4 hours a day during a weekday. However on weekend or when travelling I do need a longer-lasting phone. I was hoping it would last as long as Galaxy S2, but unfortunately it doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Not exactly true. AMOLED and SAMOLED screens have different power requirements depending on what is showing on screen. Most websites have a white background, which for AMOLED screens means almos 3 times as much power usage as a standard LCD screen. So, technically LCD screens are better for browsing as their power usage remains constant no matter what you are looking at.

Just check out Anand's battery performance chart:

The iPhone wins because it has a smaller screen which is also IPS based and therefore very energy efficient. As you go down the list you'll see the only SAMOLED screen with "decent" performance is the Galaxy S2, and even then it's almost 3 hours worse than the Atrix, for example (granted the Atrix has a larger battery, but not by much).

What saddens me is how newer devices are targeted almost as mini-tablets thanks to their huge screens yet by using Super AMOLED screens they are limiting what you can use them for. The Galaxy Note barely lasts 3-4 hours browsing according to some tests.

I hope to see some more positive results soon, because as it stands I'm not happy with what I'm seeing from the Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
On my Nexus S, I set the brightness to 8%.

And that's enough for me.

I have auto brightness toggle ready at the home screen if needed, for example during outdoor use.

All in all, I use my phone mostly indoor. Super AMOLED at 8% brightness is more than enough :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
For me it never really depend on the phone it was mostly something around 3-4 hours.

What counts as well is how good the drain in the deep sleep state is.

It wasn't a problem to survive 24h with my SGS II but with Desire, which is what I'm using now, I wouldn't bet on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaosjh:
ics just doesn't seem worth it...

this makes me sad :(

i've had the atrix since it's been out and i've really been hoping to upgrade to something just as solid. for all the complaints i've read about the atrix i figured many other phones were better yet i go read on other phones and find the atrix wins out all the time. i'm running cm7.1 (not nightlies) and not o/c or u/v and my phone sports screen times over 7 hours. i can play any game. the phone has very decent ppi thanks to qHD on a 4" but the pentile sucks. gps is spot on...ok i could go on forever, i guess from what i'm reading, i'll just wait till the next 720p screen comes out with maybe like tegra3 next year, hopefully it'll come with lte by that time which is really what i wanted to upgrade to. 4.0 ics just doesn't seem worth the 3-4 months i'll have to wait vs the sacrifices i'd have to make...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x.Orville.x:
that's pretty bad i am considering the nexus but that battery stats damm worse than de gs2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
really unsure what the concern is. id never have got this much out of my Desire-

51% battery

screen 56%

screen time 2h

and thats with a fair amount of tinkering now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaosjh:
my concern is we are suppose to be getting better over time...

i say screw ultra-thin, put a 3400+ mah battery in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilbur-force:
Technology is just moving faster than battery tech .... but thats the way of the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
I'm sure you'll be able to get one off ebay soon enough :D

Reminds me of the monster I stuck on the back of my N95.. added a quarter of an inch to the depth of the phone but I could go 5 days beween charges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Battery life seems to be one of the worst I've used on a phone so far but will have a better idea in a few days time.

Battery life was always a problem on android thought Google would have improved that in ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Something like this would be nice.

Galaxy S II with a 2000 mAh battery

http://www.androidnext.de/tests/sam...-akku-2000-mah-battery-extension-im-hands-on/

It even looks better than normal. One flat surface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaosjh:
and that is thinner than my atrix! so why don't companies put like 2500 mah batteries in until technology catches up?? is thin really that cool vs usability??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Martinp86:
from 94% battery I got 3h19min mostly 3g use browser and market downloading. Screen set to auto. No major time difference from my iphone 3gs. I will update more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soullinker20:
i was planning to upgrade on to this Gnexus from an iP4 but the reviews looks like the iP4 has much more battery than can last...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Could someone do this test:

Turn off all data connections and WiFi and close as many background services as possible

Turn screen brightness to maximum

Turn screen timeout off or set it as long as possible

View a picture full-screen that is completely white

..and let us know how long it took for the battery to go from full 100% to critical 15%.

I tested my HTC Desire and it survived three hours and twenty minutes like this. I don't expect Nexus to last this long due to brighter screen and larger resolution, but I am still interested.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emcnelly:
Then could some do the same steps as above with minimum brightness and then with just any random image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukesky:
Wow this sounds like a hardcore burn in test for the lcd.. not sure if there'll be any lasting effects to the screen or not.. so good luck to whoever's brave enough to attempt it..:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jebus99:
I think a better test would be to loop a movie and see how long it goes before battery dies (like Engadget does). Hardly super accurate but at least we can gauge against other phones easily that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
AMOLED screens do not suffer from burn-in, but they do suffer from burn-out. The parts of screen that get more workout will age quicker than the parts that don't. This means that on-screen keyboards and clock widgets and so on will be noticable on solid background after intensive on-screen time for years.

My HTC Desire screen has not suffered from any burn-out in 17 months of use, but then again I don't have a static screen on for hours every day either.

In this case though all the pixels get the same amount of intensity, it will not make a difference in the end. It will only 'age' your screen pixels by the duration of the test and do it all equally, which is miniscule.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Martinp86:
Second time round,

5 or 6 cycle iirc. Again mostly 3g data usage 90 min podcast (downloaded before) 2hrs airplane mode (no signal), couple of reading the kindle app.

So nearly 4hrs of use in total.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
That's better than I expected, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
Thats a lot better and on par with most other android devices I've had. I'm satisfied with the results so far :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yumunum:
Those are terrible times... How do you let yourselves use those phones?

If that isn't fixed with a software update or a good large battery accessory + new backplate, there's no way I'm switching from my iPhone. Wow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
Looks pretty good to me aswell. 16hrs is pretty good with that much display time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spybreak:
To be honest that is close to what I'm getting right now on my iPhone 4S with 5.0.1 and I manage just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] balto:
Don't forget that it takes a good week of charging and discharging a new battery to see the best results. Give it a week and check your battery, you will see that it is lasting longer.

When I first had my sgs2 I couldn't get more than 3 hours screen on time. A week in it when to 4 hours then a little longer. Same is true for my iPhone 4s which I now get just over 5 hours screen on time with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el3ctrik:
You are aware we're discussing screen on time here, right? There aren't many phones that if you leave the screen on constantly for over 5 hours they'll have much juice left.

We're not saying that we're having to recharge every 4 hours on a day to day basis.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oilfighter:
iPhone has such a tiny screen compare to GN... How do you let your eyes strain like that?

If iPhone 5 isn't fixed with a hardware update + new screen, there's no way I'm switching from my GN. Wow

J/K, you do realized that for such a large screen, those usage times are very respectable right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pewpewbangbang:
they may be acceptable but they're still kinda low.

Standby time looks great, screen time looks pretty avg.

I was hoping battery life increased a lot since i had my Galaxy S which got around 4hrs+ before dying.

But in all honesty, if you compare screen usage time on the iPhone to the times you guys are getting on the GN or most android phones right now......its barely a competition.

I get 2hrs of screen usage web browsing and have 80% battery still.

Im still switching back to android tho lol, waiting for my white galaxy s II.......iOS has bored me over the past half a year
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Martinp86:
OK another go round,

The phone was discharged fully so ignore the 11%.

I hope this is of some help and info for some people.

24hrs standby time and over 3hrs of use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A.Ik:
Battery Test

I'm on the verge(no pun intended) of buying this phone but battery life is crucial especially while watching movies. Can someone please carry out this test:

Set screen brightness to 100%

Play a 720p movie or video (in loop if necessary) till the battery dies or is very low

Post details on how long it lasts

The more people that do this test the better results we'll have
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Here you go quote from the review of engadget.com

http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A.Ik:
Thanks for that. Looks good :) . Though it doesn't mention brightness. If anyone can still do the test at full brightness I'd appreciate it and i'm sure others will as well. Can't hurt to have more results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NardVa:
Usually a cell phone will get you 4-5 hours screen time regardless if it is 5 hours straight or over the course of 24 hours. Probably a little less if you are using 3g/4g data instead of wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
We should consider the resolution of the video. I reckon a high quality 720p video needs more juice than a 480p YouTube Video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Martinp86:
I wont get time in the near future to run your test, but from my experience with the phone i would say some where around the 4 hour mark with a normal non hd video
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A.Ik:
You're right a test with a 720p video would be better. Though would it burn more battery running off the internal memory or over wifi? I'm inclined to say wifi but nothing solid there.

At full brightness? And with wifi on or off? Oh and how much do you reckon a 720p video would last?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rcfcyl:
I don't have my Gnex just yet but I know that Engadget's standard video rundown test is at 65%	brightness with wifi on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] draugaz:
Based on ~4 hours "normal" usage time I would assume the average movie test should last something like 8 hours. But don't forget to pick the reference movie since something dark like Aliens on AMOLED will last considerably longer than sunny movie made in caribic :)

By the way, one of the the local magazines recently among other things made an interesting test which is quite telling about the AMOLED power consumption patterns.

Two cases: SGS+ with Amoled managed 9hours in video (typical movie has somehing like 40% average luminance levels) and 5hours in Wifi surfing (typical page has something like 95% i.e. black text on white background).

In contrast, the SonyEricsson Xperia Pro with "normal" LCD display lasted 7hours in movie and 9.6 hours in Wifi surfing.

So, with Amoled you will get brilliant battery times when consuming media or playing games. And miserable battery times if try to work or do something involving black text on white background.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l1233799:
First day after overnight charging. With average use, surfing the web, played videos, recorded videos, a few calls here and there. 14hrs 30mins 55 secs before it konked out and turned itself off

Ignore my post. 14hrs and 30mins was the battery life. Misread the question
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alsex87:
Today's usage:

The two hours with the screen on has been pretty much only web browsing with a short phone call and a few texts, tiny bit on some games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] b1337:
Go away
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
I had the screen on pretty much solid as I was transferring files from my PC by WiFi and didn't want the phone to go into sleep. Brightness was set to the lowest setting for most of the time, auto for the rest.

I think the longest possible run time for the screen would be 4.5 hours before it goes flat.

Whilst I find that the screen canes the battery I am confident that if I just left it in my pocket even syncing on 3g,that it would last 24 hours easy. But the phone is new so I'm going to be playing with it a lot for now!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheek360:
Out of curiosity. Does the nexus charge as slow as the nexus s?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lieu10ant:
