Is there any way to disable the battery stats/info in settings? I am trying to see if it helps my battery drain.

Thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjd80:
which ICS build are you running? I'm on Beta 1 and have had very good battery life. been running it since about 10am this morning, and now at 2:15 its at 70% after fairly heavy use
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shane9b3:
I'm on Beta 1 and I'm at 54% after 5 hrs of medium use.

I read on an infuse forum that someone turned off battery stats and greatly improved battery life, I should search for it and pm the guy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I'd suggest trying MX Player instead. :) Probably no need for a video though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
ill just leave this here http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
Still I'm disappointed with the performance, coming for a Galaxy S2 and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I had no problems at all playing a 400MB large 6 minutes long 1080p MP4 video. If there are problems with other formats, that has got to do with the application playing them or the codecs used. GN can play high definition video very well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
The problem is some people encode their stuff as mkv or download hd rips (cheeky) off the internet.

The Galaxy Nexus feels more like an iPhone now I suppose as you cannot chuck any file at it and expect it to play, perhaps I'm used to the ease of things with the GS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
But of course. You cannot chuck ANY file at it. Nothing works like that. You cannot chuck ANY file at Windows either.

Just because it has problems with high definition mkv files doesn't mean it has problems with mkv files in general. Just play lower resolution files and if it doesn't play, try out a different player that might.

Let's remember that high definition video playing is still promoted as feature on high end tablets. Tablets are a bit more powerful to begin with, phones have not caught up with your high end TV or laptop yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
I don't feel this is an issue with the phone its application thing..

Most mkv's have an h.264 video stream which the phone can hardware decode its just the software doesn't know the container so I presume its software decoding and in which case im impressed it does as well as it does..

Vplayer might be a good app to try..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
True, but with another phone (which I will not name as I may be labelled a fanboi) I chuck numerous files... and they played.

Don't get me wrong, not everyone cares if this phone is 'pure google' or if somethings not 'optimised' for it, we just want it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmace:
the video doesn't help at all really

no bitrates were mentioned on the "laggy" video

no video or audio codecs were mentioned anywhere in the video

MKV can contain any number of different video and audio codecs

MP4 can contain (for example) h.263 and h.264 codecs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongadadu:
This is really annoying coming from a GS2. GS2 played any video file I threw at it. On the Nexus I have to use an app from the market and even then its not as fluid. I guess this is due to the older GPU. In general I am dissapointed with this phone, the S2 is much snappier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustinL01:
Sorry total rubbish, you are using a stock Android ICS phone, it does not come with touchwiz and other Samsung software, one of it being a video player. Please don't blame this on the phone hardware, it is nothing to do with it. If you expected everything to work out of the box I'm afraid maybe you should have got another phone! Stick on MX Player as an earlier poster suggested, also DICE player has now been updated, took all of 1 minute to get this information!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Google can only put on file formats and codecs that they have licenses for and native Android 4.0 comes with open source software and proprietary Google owned software.

Yes, it is a 'pure Google' issue even if you don't care about it. And more open than others on the market has its advantages and disadvantages. Sorry that you are disappointed, but reality is that Android Market has a number of media players that can play a lot of file formats and codecs that Android 4.0 does not natively support. No one forces you to use native players.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tung_meister:
Using diceplayer the Galaxy Nexus can play any content I throw at it. It can play samples from Bluray rips at full bitrate so it's as good as you could possibly need it to be (unless you have higher than bluray quality material).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongadadu:
You're right, I completely forgot about touchwiz, my bad. Tried dice player and had issues with my avi rips lagging, this was couple of days ago. I'll try the new dice player today.

I have been experiencing lag in the browser (pinch to zoom on heavy sites) which I didnt have in the GS2 (loved the bounce and elastic scrolling in that browser). I also sometimes get lag when loading the appdrawer (animation is laggy).

Don't know if I'm being paranoid but I think my device may be a bit messed up. When I took it out of the box, I was never greeted with the setup, just the home screen. Had to manually go to settings and add an account. Perhaps this was a returned model that I got given ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andrmgic:
That's because samsung offers enhanced codec support on their galaxy S phones.. those phones running an AOSP build like CM 7 cannot play those formats out of the box. (last time I checked, they hadn't managed to port over samsung's codec support)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JustinL01:
Where did you get your's from? Was the box sealed? Mine was from O2, no issues at all, minimal lag if any, I also had a GS2 and I find the GN a much nicer device to use. Maybe do a full factory wipe and start again. For the video MXPlayer has just been updated for ICS and incorporates hardware decoding, best of all it's free, maybe install this one first. Also check the quality of the video's you are putting on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongadadu:
Contract on O2 but bought from phones4u. They didnt have any in their local shop so they sent this guy to get it from a shop nearby. When the guy gave it to me the box was not sealed (didnt have to cut / open anything to be able to get device out). I thought they do this to show you the phone before hand.

The phone itself had a plastic cover on it's front and back. Thinking back now I'didnt have to put the battery in either, just the SIM.

This was bought 2 days ago. I have done a reset, still do get the same lag, the camera is absolute ****e as well.

I was on text chat to O2 today, told them about the volume bug and all that, and they gave me a ref number. They also said that I could take to any phones4u shop and get it swapped, I will have to do that just to keep my self from going insane with paranoia.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
I just want it to work. Call me a snob but I don't really care about sense or touchwiz, as long as it works, that's fine by me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ibanez33:
Still waiting for mine to show up but if thats true and the app don't cost the earth then I'd call that problem solved :)

I think the thing with mkv is while google don't have pay anyone to use it, it probably contradicts there best interest as I would asume that a large majority of video content distributed as an mkv isn't legitimate lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hamoor:
God i miss the galaxy 2 which plays everything you throw at it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Used to have stock Galaxy S, could play everything.

Then I flashed CM7, could not play .mkv files.

Installed DicePlayer, problem solved.

Same goes for Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Diceplayer generally rocks (it's also the only player I've found that'll do real full screen - hiding the navigation controls on - on the nexus) - although it's a stretch to say it play *everything* - I've got a bunch of AVIs that cause it to fall over :p

OTOH mostly I stream with plex instead.. CBA with copying huge mkvs to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] momagic:
Sometimes it's really nice to put any movie on from you PC and watch it when your bored. It's not nice finding out that it can't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bongadadu:
You can using diceplayer or mx player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Bringing this thread back from the dead, if I want full hardware decode using dice or mx how should I be encoding these files. I have had mixed results with .mkv files so far. It seems that just dropping the resolution on the file with vlc doesn't always work. I was trying to keep the files as much in tact as possible since I have a mhl cable for the phone and would like to be able to output a decent picture and sound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JUSMEJOSE:
You guys should try mp4 full HD 1080p I have to no problem playing them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
I think I will try that next.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
have you tried MX Player? i've had no problems playing 720p files in any format

why would you want to play 1080 the screen is a 720 screen ...

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

use Handbreak with the "normal" preset selected put max resolution to 720p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
I want to output 1080p from an mhl cable to an HDTV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
You'll want to encode to H.264 AVC Level 4, Baseline Profile. You may be able to get away with Level 4.1, but i'm not 100% on that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JUSMEJOSE:
I have videos/movies mp4 full hd 1080p and I don't have to use no other player
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Now it looks like you're trolling. People have sugested you to use other players and you instead of trying them just complaining here :-) I use MX Player since day one and by now i was able to play any video file i trowed at it. Some of them were decoded in "software mode", for some of them i had to use "quick software decode mode", but afterall - i watched every video file i wanted.

Edit: blah, it's an old thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
Are you certain about the Baseline Profile restriction? I know it's written on some Google webpage but this could be outdated information.

The compression efficiency difference between Baseline Profile and High/Main Profile is ENORMOUS and I doubt that anyone still produces AVC hardware decoders that can't handle High Profile.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
buy a wdtv live hub or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Not practical for business travel. I just want to carry my phone and a cable.

As for profile recommendations, I ended using a high profile setting 1920x1080 at around 4Mb/s. This plays perfectly in MX, Dice player and even the stock video player.

I still have some work to do on getting my forced subtitles correct, but these settings look great on the screen and even look really good when output from an MHL cable to a HDTV.

For my profile i started with the recommendations in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

But tweaked them a little further. I am still playing around with the profile to get the file size where i want it, but for now, Avatar @ 1080p worked out to be just over 5GB. This is acceptable to me since I'll load the device up with a few movies and then head out of town for a week.

One other tip, the only really reliable way to transfer files this size from my ubuntu laptop was to ADB push them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Has anyone seen this list of Codec support from the OMAP documentation? Do we have any idea how many of these Google has implemented?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Why bother with 1080p playback on a 720p resolution screen? I doubt the difference is noticeable to the naked eye on a screen this small.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nmyeti:
Because i am not watching it on the Galaxy Nexus' screen. MHL cable = HDMI output to an HDTV while on business travel. The Hotel chain i stay at while traveling almost always has HDTVs in their rooms and with a little trickery you can access the HDMI inputs.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Nooter:
Mods: Please move this thread if needed. This app is specific to CM7, so I wasn't sure which section I should post it in.

Everyone else: If this has been addressed elsewhere, please let me know.

I am currently running CyanogenMod-7-09252011-NIGHTLY-encore with interactiveX scaling between 300MHz and 1300MHz (using SetCPU 2.1.1a and Nook Tweaks 1.4.3) on my NookColor (NC), and was experiencing at least one Sleep of Death (SoD) every day. I believe I have a solution to this problem, and it has helped me avoid SoD for the last two weeks.

* I installed Wake My Android Pro (free, but here is a mirror)

* I then set "Invisible Wake Every" to 9 minutes (longer durations seem to not help protect against SoD). Do not select "Auto StartUp" until you're sure the app doesn't mess around with the stability of your NC.

* Then, in Settings -> Display, I set Screen Timeout to 30 seconds.

This will wake up your NC for 30 seconds every 9 minutes. In conjunction with disabling WiFi when the screen is off (Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings, click Menu -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi sleep policy -> Never), I have not experienced a single SoD in the last two weeks.

As always, your mileage might vary, and this might render your NC inoperable. It has worked for me, however, so I thought I'd share this info with you. If you find this helpful, won't you please consider clicking the "Thank" button at the bottom of this post?

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] luispotro:
A question:

Those of you who are using nook color and CM 7.1

Have you ever tried to disable mobile data?

In Wireless & Networks > Mobile Networks > Uncheck "Data enabled".

I think the problem is that when the system tries to switch from Wi Fi to (non existing) mobile, it causes the sleep of death.

This solved the problem, at least for me!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jeff.p:
thanks for the suggestion-- i'll try it, and report back.

--edit: had SOD when i woke up today.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jeff.p:
the app doesn't help either- back to disabling wifi when the screen turns off.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] grym:
Try this one.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl

Select PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK and then hit "Aquire"

Update: This application wouldn't help either. But clean install of 4.0.4 with related boot, recovery, etc. and OTA to 4.1.1 did the trick. And now with clean Android I have no any SOD for more than two weeks!

Only thing I disabled Google Media and Google Assistant.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jeff.p:
i'm using the patched wifi module now. but thank you.
[Nexus S General] ddb540:
Ever since I heard the first rumor earlier this year of the Nexus Prime (which morphed into what is today the Galaxy Nexus), I've been drooling. When the device was officially rolled out several weeks back, I decided I was going to buy the unlocked pentaband version as soon as possible.

Now I find myself trying to get those thoughts out of my head. For one, the phone still isn't available in the US, and buying one from overseas runs around $700 minimum, including all costs (the Nexus S at Best Buy last December, by comparison, was only $550 IIRC). Secondly, I'm pretty disgusted by what I view as a botched rollout of the device. It was announced a month ago, and there's still no official information on pricing, availability, or carriers. Compare that to an Apple rollout (a company whose products I greatly dislike, BTW), where the official rollout tells you pretty much everything you'd want to know in order to make a buying decision. Finally, despite some of the awesome specs of the Galaxy Nexus (most notably 720p resolution), I think the main draw is still ICS, which I'm hopeful will come to the Nexus S in an official and working form very shortly.

So, I think if I can get my hands on a bug-free ICS by the end of the year, I'll be satisfied to keep the Nexus S for at least another six months. I really like the Nexus S, and it still can comfortably handle anything I throw at it.
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
I am in the same boat. Very disappointed in the galaxy nexus. Hardware is so-so and the roll out is pathetic. No news of a tmo version and it's been announced a while ago. If this doesn't sell for under $600 I will just keep my nexus s and hope they get the next nexus right this time. I'm slowly losing faith in the nexus line. Google allowed verizon to molest it a little and I find it just plain less appealing now. I loved the idea of having a somewhat special Android when I owned the nexus one and now nexus s. But I feel google is slowly merging the nexus into the melting pot of android phones. I wanted something that really stands out and always stands out.
[Nexus S General] NicholasQ:
Another gripe is that I personally have never met or seen anybody with a nexus phone. After the galaxy nexus I feel I may start bumping into people who own one. And to make matters worse, it will probably be someone who has no idea what it is. And will call it their "Droid" phone. Maybe I loved the nexus line a little too much. : (
[Nexus S General] sirius b:
Never saw another nexus one in person until I lived in Singapore, I saw two the first month I lived there! When the nexus s came out I ordered that bastard immediately and had it shipped to my mom and she shipped it to me. I wanted to be alone in owning a Nexus phone again.
[Nexus S General] splmonster:
Verizon didn't do anything to the device. I don't understand why your disappointed, this is one hell of a device.
[Nexus S General] ddb540:
All good points, and I fully agree. Maybe Verizon is giving Google some too-hard-to-resist incentives? Otherwise, I can't imagine why Google would have abandoned the "buy-an-unlocked-GSM-phone" concept.

Now that you mention it, in the 11 months I've had my Nexus S, I've never seen anybody with a Nexus phone, either. I have, though, been asked several times when people see my phone, "What kind of iPhone is that?"

I was under the impression that Verizon has installed a bunch of proprietary Verizon apps (bloatware) on the Galaxy Nexus. Is this not true? Also, isn't the phone adorned with Verizon badging?

- DDB
[Nexus S General] Star Shadow:
I was in the same line of thinking as the OP. I was going to alternate years: this year tablet; next year phone. I had to go in to Three to renew my contract and there the GN was on display so naturally I play with it. I couldn't resist. I had a free upgrade so I said GN please. Now I have a NS that's not being used anymore. Maybe I'll give it to the wife? Damn why did Three need to have it on display? Now I'm in a two year contract instead of sum only all you can eat data. Though I do have all you can eat for the GN. :cool:
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
I have to force myself to be satisfied with a two-year phone replacement cycle. Getting the new iPhone every year when I was with AT&T spoiled me; now I feel like my phone is out-of-date in three months (and with the hardware cycle the way it is now, it probably is!).

I am going to try to hold on to my Nexus S until the next gen Nexus is released (after Nexus Galaxy).

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luqmanudyne:
work at wt19i ICS generic port by kamarush??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] luiphilip:
First and foremost, you need to have CWM installed on your phone. Once installed, you may want to SD your phone then boot it to CWM mode. Then choose custom install via zip on the CWM options. Direct it to the folder containing the downloaded zip file, run then choose yes. Once done, you may reboot again your phone (a requisit to exit CWM mode and enter normal boot up to your ROM).

Once the phone brings up completely, you can check the power button (long press) and find the reboot option added as shown on the start of the thread picture.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
ok so i had the INFUSE, where i would just edit the build prop and change the DPI of the screen....and it worked great. but it does not seem to have the same effect on the skyrocket...i notice alot of dead space on the screen when doing this that was NOT on the infuse. it made things smaller in proper proportion to the screen, on the skyrocket it seems to make the Screen windows smaller and odd looking.

any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
nope doesn't seem like anyone figured this out outside of using a different launcher & dialer.

I switched to go launcher, even though touch wiz seemed to work pretty well. kept the dialer for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
so if i pic another launcher it will eliminate the dead space at the bottom of the screen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
yes. the dead space is just due to touchwiz being setup just for the one resolution. other launchers are set up to do more as they aren't device specific.

The dialer will still have dead space, you can get go contacts/go dialer if you choose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Does changing the density this way cause the same problem as using the density changer app on the market? If you change the density with the app it makes most apps on the market imcompatible and will not allow you to download them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
yes it still causes the apps not show up in the market....in which case i switch it back then download and switch back again once it is on my phone.
