[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpgeek:
I know that there are many reviews for popular ebook reader apps for android (a couple of which are even preinstalled on the stock rom), but i wanted to see how the sgt7 community liked the speed and UI of them specifically on this hardware due to having strange size and resolution comparatively to android tablets (usually 10.1" at 1024x800) or phones which are typically <4.3" at much lower resolutions.

I have a pretty large ebook collection that is a combination of pdf and epub files so i don't really care about downloading books from a market so the services that come with nook, kindle, Kohorn, and Google books apps don't really do anything for me, although ive read that they are also capable readers that can still store and use epub files well so i won't discount them if they are well liked for this application.

Tl;Dr: what's the best ebook reader application for the sgt7 that can open and read epub and preferably PDF files with speed, style, and ease? Id also like text highlighting, bookmarking, and resuming the last open page when opening a book as well as a "collection of book covers and titles" view rather than having to use a filesystem browser if possible. - in the end, something like ibooks for android only faster preferably.

Thanks!

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streetwreck:
For weeks or months now, I have had a problem with my battery. Not only does it drain itself radically, my phone also restarts at random moments (usually when someone's calling, percent of battery doesn't exactly matter) If it helps, when I checked my battery a week ago, I found that it had some scratches at the side, which is unusual since I don't even touch it.

That's problem number one; the drainage and the random restarts. I have another one. Since yesterday, after I entered a friend's house that I know receives no signal at all, I have not had decent signal. Location doesn't even matter anymore, I usually have good signal at home but now there's nothing. It sometimes goes on but after a while, it's gone again. Friends with the same SIM cards (TM, and no that does not mean T-Mobile, it's a local brand) say that their signals are quite good. I tried inserting my sim on my brother's phone and it was working fine.

I deem my phone useless now. Help?

I just got it what causes battery drain on GDX!

GPS! Even if you turn it off, it will eat your battery until you reboot. I think it can't stop for some reason.

So after you use GPS, you have to turn it off and you must reboot to prevent BD.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zzim:
Why do people still want quadrant? Its the most useless benchmark out right now, smart bench 2011 or GLBenchmark would be a better gauge of how the phone runs. I cant wait till future mark completes their benchmark app for android.

I would however love to see some smartbench scores for this phone.

Either way take a look at this

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You can expect the same scores as the GSM version..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snake2332:
Stock Nexus running v4.0.2

Quadrant score: 1st run - 1420, 2nd run - 1406

Not a good benchmark, like people have been saying.

If you "Force GPU Rendering" in the Development options, the first graphical part of Quadrant goes 50fps instead of 7 or 11, but the overall score was still 1480.

Hi people

Im from India and got myself this AMAZing phon yesterday from the US since its not available here..

I noticed a really tiny glowing pixel against black background only in the middle.

It's not gonna be easy for me to send it back for a replacement to the US...

I have a few questions :-

1) does anyone here have this problem

2) is there any way to fix it

3) is there a chance that the dead pixel will spread ?

thanks in advance :)

1. probably

2. no, screen replacement?

3. yes

You should have already downloaded these before doing the rollback.

I also figured out some way to get the keyboard working and also needed to download the recovery tool (the instructions did not mention that I needed to download it before the rollback).

But does a USB keyboard also not work? Just try plugging a keyboard in de USB port and see what happens.
[Acer Iconia A500] ef1x:
download acer recovery installer, iconiaroot 1.3, and also a custom rom or stock 3.2 with root included and install it. Download it to your sd card . After you have downgraded to 3.01 unstable install some filebrowser and root it with iconiaroot , after that install acer recovery installer and then update your superuser binaries from market. Shutdown your tablet and start it holding power plus volume up button to acer recovery, wipe all cache and install custom rom or stock 3.2 rooted.

Hello,

im thinking on buying the Note =]

i wanted to ask "heavy","excessive" users how is the phone battery drain ?>

*how long your phone lasts without charge (excessive,heavy use)?

*how long your phone lasts without charge (normal use)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliashadow:
Im only use any of my smartphones with excessive,heavy use.

I have only 2 full battery circles and im using stock root rom/kernel.

All my phones was with very good custom kernels and lower voltages cause i wanted to stay alive during the day (8-23:00).

Now,my battery keep up the day but more easy than my previous phones (you can see which in my sign).

So, even my battery is new with few full circles, even im not using custom kernel for uc or uv, its better than my previous smartphones.

For a 5.3" display the battery life is exceeding expectations.. Based on my usage it has more battery life than the Galaxy S2 altho movie time is still the same at 8:30hrs to 9:00
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
I think it's very hard to define excessive vs normal use. Also the usage patterns of different people varies greatly. mostly because some use wifi on 100% of the time, others just turn it on here and there to check emails. Same for background sync and autosync which are battery drainers . So it's really hard to compare...

I keep my Wifi constantly on, background sync on, autosync is off but I have a task in Tasker to autosync every three hours manually. I have some push emails in K9 and twitter, gtalk and tapatalk syncing.

So on a day of super heavy usage the phone will last about 16-17 hours (ofcourse that includes about 7 hours of sleep time). With normal to moderate use I can make about 24-27 hours.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Hi people! I'm noob here! (wanted to write new but couldn't resist!)

I recently bought the Note and been having a few hard times with a couple of things.

One of the specifics concern battery life. Having been showered in the awesomeness of a 2,5 ma battery i thought the battery would be invulnerable but i was wrong.

The first 4 days the battery lasted me quite fine having to charge the phone once every two days. Heavy consumption was done for brief periods of 1-1:30 hours where i would try to shape my phone in the image that i wanted.

By the end of the fourth day i had a respectable amount of apps inside but not too many to explain the fact that my battery life now has decreased to 1 day.

I kinda panicked when i noticed the difference and went ahead to install Juice defender and advanced task cleaner apps. What's weird is the fact that before i did i would charge the phone before going to bed at night and then pull the plug when it would be full. By the morning the phone had lost about 25% while inert!

Noticing that i would go to the battery use feature in settings and see that the radio(!) which i hadn't been using was eating away my battery's life along with the screen which was inactive as a consequence of the phone in locked mode and a few other apps which filled the rest of the loss.

I tried to kill apps and i use Juice defender pro in custom advanced mode effectively rendering the phone dead after locking. It still consumes the same percentage of battery although now it blames the radio less and the live wallpaper more.

Am i to assume that my battery has reached it's "puberty" and that's "normal" from now on or is there a problem i just can't diagnose due to lack of experience?

This phone is my first android device. I do not know my way around it although i am learning more and more in a rapid learning curve.

Please note anything you might think has escaped my attention.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
Your question is a little OT but i'll try to answer real quick.

25% loss of battery sounds about right if you have your

Auto Sync ON

.

Disable it and you'll go down to about 10% a night. Am i right or am i totally off here ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
I'll try it and see tonight. Thanks mfractal. Having been an IPhone 3G owner i gotta say, it's still kinda disheartening to see that 10% battery loss overnight is considered "normal". Will work my way around purchasing a second backup battery for emergencies.

Thanks again.

Draining twice as fast after an update on apps this morning!

Hmmm, I have been using the Note for about 2 weeks now. With Juice Defender installed (with aggressive settings), I get by OK with the battery for a full day.

Well, that was until this morning when I ran an update of a few apps, and now I barely got to noon when the battery went completely drained. Same settings on Juice Defender.

Any clues on how to deal with this? I am thinking of reverting all the updates to double check.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mfractal:
guys, the steps to analyze battery drain are quite standard.

Download BetterBatteryStats (there's full version for free for XDA users, search the forum)

Download CPU Spy

Charge to 100%, reset statistics in CPU Spy and let the battery drain to 10-20%.

Then Analyze wakelocks in BetterBatteryStats and you will see which programs keep your phone awake.

If you want to make sure the phone is entering sleep mode and staying there, reset cpu spy stats before going to sleep and check in the morning. more than 90% of the time the phone should be in deep sleep. If not - again, betterbatterystats's wakelocks will show you what's keeping the phone awake.

My battery life is pretty good atm considering its still a new toy and gets a heavy workout.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaddy888:
Disabling background sync defeats the purpose of having a smart phone, no?

I do like my phone and the screen real estate, and understand that, it can be major battery hog. But I would really like it to be super efficient when the screen is off.

I was looking at my battery drain graphs, (Settings>About Phone>battery usage) and noticed that my phone is active almost all through the night, (even when the screen is off).

So i loose 25-30 overnight, on IDLE.

Is this normal?

I'm using Exchange instead of the Gmail app for my mail. Does that use more battery?

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliashadow:
Of course gmail use more battery like every app running in background and syncing.

But your battery drain overnight is really so much.

The normal is 1% per hour without any app syncing in background and about 2% or 3% with background syncing apps.So you must check your apps.Something draining your battery.

Overall,i don't believe that note battery isn't good.i think Samsung haven't done so good work in filmwares and apps.

I have removed the most of Samsung apps and my battery is great.

Maybe a update from Samsung solved battery issue.In nexus previous days released a filmware update which change amazing the battery life.users mention that they loose 2% overnight.And before this update nexus battery sucks!

So, we must pray for something similar in our note from Samsung...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abnovitas:
I got my Note two weeks ago and am since struggling with my battery usage as well.

It's hard to reproduce, but Android OS is the reason for excessive battery usage when the phone is idle.

Today I found this quite interesting. Please have a look at this screenshot:

Since a few days ago I'm using Llama to control some settings on my phone, but the drainage was present before I installed Llama.

When you look at the first gap in WiFi usage you can see the phone disconnecting from my WiFi router at home (TP-Link TL-WR1043ND) when Llama disabled my WiFi.

About 20 minutes later, when I arrived at the office, Llama reactivates WiFi and my phone connects to our WiFi access point at the office (TP-Link TL-WA801ND).

At this point Android OS usage goes up considerably and it won't stop, even if I disable the phone's WiFi.

Actually at the second, larger gap in WiFi usage I disabled the WiFi connection manually which caused my phone to stay awake until I activate WiFi again.

Edit: Using Titanium Backup I have frozen Wifi-Sharing and the Wifi Manager.

Apart from that, Wifi usage was never an issue on my old Milestone, where I had Wifi enabled permanently and the battery lasted for 4-5 days.

I'd be glad to provide more information if that could help figure out the cause of AOS's battery usage.

My phone is currently running:

PDA: N7000XXKK9

PHONE: N7000XXKK5

CSC: N7000OXAKK9

I installed FM-Kernel 1.4, hoping it would fix this issue. It did for a day or so...

Apart from the kernel it's the newest 2.3.6 stock ROM I received via FOTA though.
