[Atrix 4G General] mauricetmk:
Hi guys, just wondering how long should a single full charge last on our atrix?

I came from ZTE blade, with data off I can easily get 2 days with light to moderate use.

However with my atrix, similar usage it lasts a day, day and a half if I'm lucky.

I think this is down to the atrix wakelock issue, afaik it's a common problem, could someone charity it as well?

Hope to hear from some other atrix users' experience.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
On CM7 with Faux kernel running at 1.0GHz with minor UV I can get up to 40 hours dependant on usage. That's with data on all the time and WiFi on maybe 50% of the time. Two or three hours of the day I am listening to music over BT at work.

No videos or gaming. Just regular data usage, calls, texting, music, etc.
[Atrix 4G General] ChumleyEX:
a day

10char
[Atrix 4G General] Jotokun:
Depending on how heavily you use it, I've been getting between 1 and a half to 2 and a half days. Pretty good for an android phone. If I ever took the time to figure out undervolting I wouldn't be surprised if I could make it a full 3 days.
[Atrix 4G General] flusshd:
As my long time experience on my Atrix, I saw the various life time in different usage by periods of time that shared at below:

- Using just like a feature phone: 2.5 days

- Wifi continuously for web, facebook...: 6-7 hours (depending on how strong the wifi signal is)

- Using just like a music player continuously with internal store (offline) of songs: 12-18 hours (depending on how loud the speaker/earset sounds)

- Using continuously just like an online navigator with Google Maps on 3G connection on my car driving: 5-7 hours (depending on how strong the 3G signal is)

- Complex using in hundreds of days as my normal usage as both a phone and a PDA device, and this is right the most significant life time of a smartphone as you guys here mentioned is: 12-16 hours.

My usage in such a condition includes:

- Wifi online time spreaded over the working day at many points for email, web,facebook, chatting, including XDA ofcos :D

- Many incoming/outgoing voice calls, I've never made a count for number of calls a day, but I often am reported by the Calls Log Backup app operates in the background on my phone, its used to show 40-70 calls backed up at 10pm for me every day.

- 3G connection was always on and active at early morning while I was driving and at soft-break time at noon for 2 hours when I had lunch

- Few of music at a chance of quick relax that I often have in a working day.

Yeah, above is my real usage experiences on my AT&T Atrix. What about you guys here? Pls share :)
[Atrix 4G General] chubickhakkz:
I get like 12-14 on cm7 beta2
[Atrix 4G General] IUH1991:
Moderate use gets me 36 hours on average. By moderate I mean about 100 texts, a few calls, 1-2 hours browsing, wifi always on, about an hour of music.
[Atrix 4G General] rp_guy:
i have been getting about 12 hours.. 3 hours on display though.
[Atrix 4G General] mauricetmk:
I just dont understand how is the atrix lasting less than 2 days when my zte blade (much smaller phone, but without the massive atrix battery) can easily last a day and a half...

what my problem with my atrix is standby time i guess, Ive just install CM7 with gapps, no extra apps and it dropped 10 % over night, it just wouldnt go to sleep properly..
[Atrix 4G General] mac208x:
I get about 20h with heavy usage, such as alot of games, texting all the time. When not using it much I can get 3 days easy with testing only and like 2 calls. I never use wifi.

As far as i know there is no other way to downgrade spl 5.1 other than the goldcard meathod .... My HD7 is also o2 uk and goldcard was the only way i could do it.

[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dpgc213:

How did you do that? If I extract the RUU I get RUU******.nbh and SPL*****.nbh
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] avensakias:
Is there any way to put the hd7 in a state that we can just put an older schuimg.nbh in the root of the sd card and just flash it using the phone's bootloader just like we already did using wm6.??

I believe that if this can be archived there is no need of goldcard if the Rom has the same cid like the device.
[HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development] dememted1:
All i did was change the name of the "RUU_signed.nbh" (from extracted rom "RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_3.04.206.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_22.48.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE") to SHUIMG.nbh and copy it to the root of the goldcard and put the HD7 in a state to flash it.

I'm guessing that the RRU_signed.nbh contains a copy of spl.

I think only the phones os has access to the sd card on a wp7 device??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a.2mjed.a:
Hi guys, how are you doing?

Excuse me for my English :)

I've HTC Incredible S, I bought it from UK before a year ago.

I'm in US right now and get a simcard from At&T and paid for the Data plan but unfortunately it doesn't work!

the seller told me it should be American phone or from At&T :/

So, If I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II SkyRocket from eBay or Amazon, will it work perfectly and the data plan will work or not?!

(because I've found it from ebay $205)

I hope I can an answer for this question

Amjad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madmike23:
The HTC Incredible S should work with the AT&T sim. Did you take it to a AT&T store? They probably have to adjust your settings for you to use it.

If you get the Skyrocket, make sure its an AT&T version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a.2mjed.a:
my Incredible S work perfect with AT&T but the data plan doesn't work because the seller told me (the phone must be from America or from AT&T) :/

So, because of that I'm asking, If I bought the Galaxy S II Skyrocket AT&T (at&t logo on the phone) from eBay, will the data plan will work or not?!

I want to change my phone because of the Data plan. I need Internet in my phone everywhere I go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Yes the skyrocket will work on at&t its an at&t phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a.2mjed.a:
I'm sorry I didn't reply to you silver03wrx

So, did you recommend me to buy it from ebay? (Here is the link)

because it's cheaper than the store + in the store I must bay $500 deposit :/

Q: If I bay the phone from the link, How much will I bay monthly?

I hope you understand me

and I hope you can help me ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
Depends on what phone plan you go with. Most plans for just 1 smart phone will cost around $80 to $100.

It all depends on how many minutes you want and how much internet you want (200mb or 2gb).

Just to let you know, that link you posted requires a contract. So you would likely still need a deposit to get it.

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a.2mjed.a:
Yeah, if I bought it I'll bay monthly around $85.

Oh no, Is there anyway can I get the phone without a deposit?!

I have $250 (the phone price) but cannot bay for the deposit :(

any other websites you suggest for me to buy the phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gr8hairy1:
Check out www.ebay.com. To get a brand new smart phone like the skyrocket you'll be likely paying at least $400. You may want to think about getting a less expensive phone for your price range.

tomorrow I'll go and ask them how to do it

Q: I've see the new Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket in eBay, this is the link

They wrote "Early Termination Fee $325". What does it mean?

+

I complete every thing, like chosen New Customer and Individual (24-Month) and I've choose the plan (Nation Talk Individual - 450), DataPro 2GB and Messaging Unlimited

before I checkout, in table there are:

1/ One Time Charges* = $36.00

*One time activation fees applied to your first month's bill only.

Q: Does it mean that I'll pay for this just one time?

Q: when I should pay for it?

--

2/Monthly Charges† = $84.99

†These items will be billed by your carrier and do not include all fees, taxes and surcharges.

Q: Does it mean that this is my bill each month?!

When I click Next and wrote my address info, in the last there are:

NOTE: Early Termination Fee of up to $325.00 may apply.

Q: What does it mean?

Q: Will I going to pay or give them the $325.00 or what?

But in the last they ask me for the Social Security and I don't have one! I just have an US ID card.

I hope you can answer the questions, and forgive me if it's long questions

last question: What if someone (American person) give me his/her Social Security number to put it in the website to buy the phone. What will happen?!

Thank you for helping me, and i'm sorry to take your time :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
1) Early Termination fees apply when you cancel ur plan before it expires. Like if you cancel ur phone line within next 24 months att will charge you fees up to $325.

2) $36 You will pay only one time. You have to pay when you get new plan.

3)$84.99+tax is ur monthly bill.

4)If you use someone's social than you will need to get their info. Their info will be used instead of urs.

Hi guys,

My sister has two young sons intent on having Father Christmas bring them their first cellphones this year, and have been dropping hints like napalm about the Play being sooooo good for gaming on the move and currently sooo cheap. It looks like she will bow to their wishes against her better judgement. Her main concern is net security and limiting the access that they have to adult content and potential abuse etc on the handset. Can anyone recommend a good app that can limit the type of content a child can access on this handset?

All suggestions welcome and appreciated
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
I know of nothing like that per-say. But some launchers and apps give you the ability to hide applications. Your friend could just hide the default browser, giving her children no access to the internet.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Logseman:
I wouldn't give them that phone period if as you say it's against the mother's intentions. Children can do with a cheaper phone, and with none at all.

You can hide the internet browser (and any other app like, say, Settings) quickly and easily with Launcher Pro. The Market now allows you to protect purchases with a password... And there are apps which allow you to password-protect any app before running.

That said, shielding children from the interwebs is not exactly a great idea in the long run.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Cat_On_Droid:
How old are the kids? I recommend them to be atleast 13/12 so they won't lose it..
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] adyblers:
I agree that it is at best a bad idea giving young kids a smartphone of that specification, but there's nothing I can do about that now. And yes, shielding kids from the net would be a little unfair as that is one function this thing performs well that they cannot use on, say a Nintendo DSi. These two kids, young as they are, are pretty tech savvy and love to browse the web.

They have a netbook which they share and it has a net nanny on board which has been effective thus far.

My main concern is limiting the amount of access they can have through their web browser on the phone, and keeping their information private and safe. A similar package that might be available from the Android Market? I've looked around the Market myself (X10i's rock, by the way!! :-) ), but haven't seen anything that really serves this purpose. I thought maybe one of you might have been in a similar situation?

With the recent price drop in the Xperia Play (now well under 200 euro in Ireland on top up now), this is going to be a very popular first phone for kids this Christmas and I'm sure there are many other parents who would share the same concerns
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] adyblers:
They are both a little too young in my opinion ( one is twelve and the other fast approaching eleven) to own one of these, but that's really not my decision to make. I'm just their uncle, not their Dad, so I have little or no say. I advised my sister against making this purchase but it fell on deaf ears. So now my priority is about damage limitation and to kid proof their phones instead.

And, honestly, if one, or both of them lose their phones, then I will sleep a lot more soundly! It's a simple enough job to wipe a smartphone remotely so lost data shouldn't be an issue. It would however show they are not yet old nor responsible enough to own a phone and they would have to wait quite a while before getting another! These things don't grow on trees!
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TheCraig:
The Xperia play is not the hardiest of phones, So you may want to buy a case and put on screen protectors.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Dudeness83:
Hey man check with the service provider. Most carriers make you get the data package with android phones now, maybe they have a family setting on their end. Personally I blocked the inappropriate stuff from my nieces via our router, but seeing as 3g/4g traffic isn't routed on our end, maybe your service provider may have a setting for it on their end.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] benoitb85:
DroidWall

But to use it you need to be root and the child could disable it. The best way would be to give them a SIM that doesn't have data access enabled...

But then there is wifi.

How old are the kids ? If they are less than 10, I wouldn't give them a phone at all. If they are more than 10, chances are they have already watched porn and violent scenes so I can't see much of an issue with giving them access to the internet.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] neptune:
I know T-Mobile have an internet security setting... check with the provider
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
All networks have a 18+ policy on there networks. Now the only devices or Sims that come with the 18+ lock off is contract phones or Sims as you have to be 18+ to buy one. But on payg phones and Sims the parental lock is automatically and the only way to switch it off is to call the network provider and prove your age by credit card. Debit don't work only credit. But hate to say it. The kids would always be able to find porn by just going onto google images. Unless you turn it on to strict filtering. Now for the data protection and remote lock and wipe I use an app called NetQin. Now it costs £1.50 pm and is done through a text directly from the app. It provides virus scanner, call safety (stops people listening to your calls) web protection (hides your important information while surfing) GPS tracker from there site, remote lock and wipe, and many more. Also the main thing I like. Is if someone else puts there sim in it. It sends a msg to a designated number with the thiefs mobile number, and a msg you setup. I suggest setting it up to say the imei number.

Regards

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AndroHero:
18+ locks are useless imo. There will always be apps that get around it like opera mini. That connects to.the internet using a VPN. Rendering all 18+ locks useless :p
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] fma965:
Many carriers have porn blocks however if you use opera mini it bypasses it since they are 11/12 they probably already seen it I no i have by then I'm 18 now. There is a app called porn blocker on the market and net nanny hope this helps

Also you should post this in android general not a specific phone since most things for 1 things work on others

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Deoxlar:
On some routers, and you can block websites with keywords that you input from loading.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] BinaryXeroMedia:
Yes I know that. That is why I said that they will more than likely still be able to find porn. But it all depends what these kids are like. If there little brats (no offence to op) then I would worry about it but if they are well behaved kids and brought up well and taught its naughty and they are doing well at school then I wouldn't worry so much. Most kids aren't interested these days. They mainly want it for games. Also if they want to use the internet then I would just block the web on the phone and just only let them use it when at home. Put a password in market and browser and when at home you type the password in so they can use it indoors on the set up WiFi that stops them from searching or going on adult sites. So when they are out they can only call and play on games. No web. No browser. No market. That is probably your safest option.

Edit: just went on the market there is a browser called safe browser the porn blocker. It blocks adult content and the kids can't change the settings as they need a password so block the market with a password when they go out and then they can't download amother browser. Hope this helps.

How old are the kids?

When my kids 3 & 6 borrows my phone for gameplaying I always turn off data traffic.

If they are older, root their phones, edit host file and ban all www and .com adresses.

That wont stop them forever but before they figure out how to fix it, they are probably old enough to find pr0n on other ways...
