[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevest:
Hi guys,

Thank you for an excellent forum.

I currently have a Galaxy SII and an iPadI

What I dislike is the finger-incompatibility with "mouse-over" drop-down menus.

I am considering a stylus type of device like the Note, so here's my question:

With the Galaxy Note stylus, is it possible to follow and select such menus?

Here's an example site:

themify.me/demo/themes/tisa/ (newbie here - I am not allowed to post full urls yet)

Is it possible to follow and select from the top-right menu:

LAYOUTS > Sidebar Right > SB Right 4 column ?

Awaiting your replies.

Thank you so much!!!

Steve
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedspringlex:
tried it

can be done but very hard to do with stylus. with finger it is very easy. but i have read you can use a bluetooth mouse with note and even connect an usb mouse also. so if you happen to use a bluetooth mouse try that. hope this helps.

edit: extremely hard with s-pen but the page i went to loaded beautifully.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevest:
I thought the stylus would be the answer to my prayers. Not so, but thanks for your feed-back. I am surprised it works with a finger, though. Was this done with the standard browser?

Thanks again!

Battery Monitoring

Standard Android OS Battery Usage Utility

Settings -> Battery

When entering this section, you will see two distinct sections:

Battery % graph, which shows the amount of battery used since unplugged, as well as a time on battery.

Individual App/Process battery usage. The Percentage here corresponds to the amount of battery used by the App/Process of the already used battery. NOT the total battery capacity.

Clicking on a process or app will bring up more details on that process. Some definitions used are as follows:

CPU Total - Total CPU usage in time

CPU Foreground Total - Total CPU usage while app is visible to user

Keep Awake - Total time app prevented phone from going into “Deep Sleep”

Screen on Time - Time screen was active (duh...)

Time on - Time process has been running

Battery Monitor Widget

I highly recommend this app. It gives you a wealth of information.

Battery % usage over very long periods of time

Battery voltage recording

Battery drain (mah and watts)

Battery capacity estimates (both in time and mah)

Battery conditioning status

Support for multiple batteries

Estimates for various conditions (watching video, audio, games, etc)

CPU Spy

I use this for one purpose: to see how much time my phone spends in each CPU frequency. And more importantly, how much time it is in deep sleep. Deep Sleep is the condition in which the phone suspends as much activity as it can. This is the lowest consumption state your phone can be in... besides being off :p

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I just flashed a new rom or update, could that be the cause of battery issues?

A: Absolutely! A bad download, experimental features, or even settings that are not friendly with your device can greatly impact your battery life.

Q: What battery life should I expect out of my device?

A: That level can vary widely by usage. Generally, screen on time of 4+ hours is considered good.

Hey instaed of reposting everything can you try putting all together in one post..???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
I think this should be mentioned:

USE WIFI!!!

Using 3G uses about double the battery of wifi. Using 4G uses about triple the battery of wifi. If there is wifi near you, use it! Use wifi at work and at home if at all possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
You should also mention this on-going issue with battery life:

For what its worth, my preliminary experiments seem to be showing that on the Galaxy Nexus, JuiceDefender uses more battery than it saves. FYI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnyce87:
is there any way to turn off the media server?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jnyce87:
my battery is very inconsistent and at times I have horrendous drain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sal Khan:
Not that it'll mean much, but Wi-Fi is the battery saver on this phone for me.

Light use all day, screen at 100% (which I turn off manually every time before putting it down)

E

verything on but bluetooth

Did some MP3 playback (2 hours), Lots of Tweetdeck, some maps - all while actually NOT on wifi (about 3 hours total) - the rest of the time I was at home.

I got about 18 hours before the phone shut off from a dead battery. The same without Wifi with 3G only would net me 8'ish. With 4G about 6ish - all with screen set to Auto.

So my casual and un-scienitific observation for my phone shows that there is something to be said about using WiFI instead of cellular service. I'll try and narrow it down further this week since I'm on vacation.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tubes6al4v:
Absolutely! Added a note for it, and a section in "Nitty Gritty" about all the antennas.

Added, thank you!

I had the same experience, but I like Tasker for finer grain control anyway. The main thing to be weary of is Location-based settings. Tasker has a guide called "Location Without Tears" to explain it.

Not currently. You could freeze it through titanium backup, but that would break a bunch of apps. Some devs are working on fixes for this and Android OS

All Three attached photos show pretty good battery life. Keep in mind: for a device early in its development, 12 hours is great!

Thank you for the perspective. I've added some sections referencing these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyriak:
I've been really surprised with the reviews about the battery life. So far I got the phone for a month ( in UK) and battery life is pretty good.

I have sync accounts, use the phone moderately (about 3 to 4 hours with screen on per day), no battery saving app or anything.

My daily routine is to unplug my phone from it's charger a 7am and every day I end up at night around 11pm with a battery around 40%... Some day I will forgot to plug it at night and be able to have it last almost for the entire next day (being careful though)

first week wasn't so good but after a few days battery improved significantly.

to me the key to save tons of battery life was to set the screen brightness to the second lowest level. It's really bright enough to my taste and literally since then I never got the phone to drain off within 20 hours after a full charge.

Also I have the wifi always on as mentioned earlier on the thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JOHNGAETANO:
I have the GSM Nexus. I have had the phone for 1 week. My phone for phone calls, which drains the battery pretty quickly has not been real heavy as of late, but I have been typically seeing a 3% drop per hour of use. So right now I am at 78%, and have been up for 6h 48m.

Overall I am very happy with my battery life.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] repvik:
Is this really a good idea? Consider the following:

Higher clock speed means getting things done quicker. If the phone is running at 1400MHz with a voltage of 1225mV for one second, instead of running two seconds at 700MHz with a voltage of 900mV, what will demand the most energy?

(Voltages are the ones I'm using on my OC/UV'd Nexus, not the stock ones which are *way* high)

I'd rather focus on lowering the CPU voltage as low as it goes without instability than waste time with a slow phone ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sLixXx:
If i use my GNex normal i charge every two days, i like maximum display ;)

Delete your current Phonesky.apk (or rather copy and paste to your SD card just in case) then flash in cwm like any other zip. Enjoy!

Can someone translate the paragraphs below into layman's terms. It just confuses the hell out of me. To me it describes the basic functions of a computer or something.

Here is patent #5,946,647, the patent that HTC has been found to have violated:

A system and method causes a computer to detect and perform actions on structures identified in computer data. The system provides an analyzer server, an application program interface, a user interface and an action processor. The analyzer server receives from an application running concurrently data having recognizable structures, uses a pattern analysis unit, such as a parser or fast string search function, to detect structures in the data, and links relevant actions to the detected structures. The application program interface communicates with the application running concurrently, and transmits relevant information to the user interface. Thus, the user interface can present and enable selection of the detected structures, and upon selection of a detected structure, present the linked candidate actions. Upon selection of an action, the action processor performs the action on the detected structure.

Thanks for the news OP. I wish everyone could learn to get along but I guess the sandbox isn't big enough for some. I will happily say that I've owned an iPod touch for the last 4 years and it's battery life and usefulness were a pleasure. For all the ihaters, there will always be hate. Seeing every side of of the box(inside and out) is usually better than tunnel vision.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Neither have I and never will, Apple what a joke LOL.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
im pretty sure it means, you touch something on your screen.. like an icon, and then the phones executes that action.

Example:

You touch "dial" and the phone screen comes up, you click on a persons name and it calls them.

the phone has taken information from the user, translated it, and performed the proper function.

Oh you mean, the phone does what you want it to do, ya apple has that patented

[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
So, let me get this straight. As of that date next year, we won't be able to purchase new HTC devices here in the US????? Seriously?? I just fell in love with HTC because of this phone and have heard that they will be coming out with amazing products next year. Now we can't have them because of Apple??? What a joke. Yet another reason I hate that stupid company.
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
That reminds me of a popular catchphrase : " good enough for government work. " ;-)
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
"The ruling does not affect current sales on HTC devices here in the United States."

The US will not be effected in any way. This happened to Samsung and they were not allowed to sell the galaxy tab in Europe or in Australia, but you could still buy it here.
[HTC Rezound] awenthol:
CURRENT US sales. It will affect sales next year unless they tweak so it's no longer infringing.
[HTC Rezound] brockeverly:
You are misreading, that means that the current models here can continue to be sold. After the April date there will no longer be HTC devices for sale in the US.
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
What, they have the market on user input? Umm, ok. What about all the computers now days that have touch screens? I touch MS word and it opens. Or do they only care about phones? Some PC's these days are nothing but oversized tablets/touch screen phones. IE: Skype anyone?

Oppugnetur Status Quo Res Sunt
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
i understand what its saying, what im saying is, this will not effect sales in the US....

the same thing happened to Samsung.

All this means is that HTC is going to owe money to apple to buy the rights to use their patents on their devices. at the end of the day, consumers are not even going to realize that anything happened.

What apple is doing is common place in industry.
[HTC Rezound] Comicazy:
What could they tweak to no longer infringe on user input? Can't go to just speaking commands. Apple does that too. Well looks like its back to D-pads and physical keyboards. The de-evolution of android. Thanks apple.

[HTC Rezound] thatsricci:
This is a total patent troll.

It's a long winded way of describing an event processor, yes. It kinda describes in my imagination the way google instant search works... where it starts finding search results as you are typing.

The sad thing is, these are all patents made straight out of the basis of all programming patterns from the dawn of, programming.

These patents are the same, in layman's terms, as getting a patent for a coffee mug. Not what it's made of, but what it IS. "An apparatus to hold hot coffee"

I write software everyday. I write systems that interact, that trigger events, and actions, in other systems across networks or across circuit boards. To see a patent worded like this tells me that the patent office has no clue what they are approving of in the first place. These kinds of things will get weeded out as the appeals process goes on, but someones making a lot of money out of these deals.

Apple.. patent troll... I like the reference.

If I knew I could patent my software designs for dumb ****, i'd have a lot of patents too. But obviously, as compared to apples case, I would not have enough money to try and hold this stuff up in court :)
[HTC Rezound] Sully6789:
HTC has stated they already have a fix ready and will be pushing it to current devices and removing it from future devices. Basically means you won't be able to click someone's number in an email or Google search results and the phone dial the number. What a joke. Apple is on their way down and they know it so why not take any and all Android OEM's with them. Pathetic. Why innovate when you can sue the people that do to keep yourself relevant?
[HTC Rezound] Scott:
No matter what the sales determination is... **** Apple!

And yeah, I own them all (ipods, ipads).. Really... I do. But I like HTC way better. WAY BETTER. WAY WAY WAY Better.

From Wikipedia on patent trolling

As i said, all this will do is either force a length appeals process that HTC may win, or they will just pay off Apple for the use of their "patents" on HTC devices

To write Apple off as a joke when you've never even used one of their devices is silly. Apple makes good stuff. It all comes down to what you prefer.
[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
Well, I own a couple Apple product. But, that is now about to change. I am going to take my iPad2 and my 80Gig 5.5Gen iPod video and smash them. Any respect that I had for Apple is gone. And I will not use there products at all any longer. They are acting like a bunch of immature little pieces of *****y ****. That patent is a very vague and almost all encompassing one. It describes every form of interactions on a device with a processor. I am done with hearing about patents. I say that we all get together and try to make it all disappear. Patents should be abolished from here on out. Free market of ideas needs to now grow and flurish. We live in the information age. And virtually all info needs to be available to all people. So that we can all grow as a society. These companies, and especially but not limited to Apple had better cut the ****. They are nit picking to far and to hard. They are about to open a can of worms that I do not think that any of there patents have covered ever. If our governments or court systems can not stop this lock down of information. Then we need to step up to the plate and play hard ball with these assholes. The definition of the word patent needs to be redefined to an idea that is put out there for all to feed from so that it can grow and morph into a greater idea. I know I just repeated my self. But, I am utterly pissed off at this crap that is going on. The general every day public needs to be made aware of these happenings. We are not the general public. We are but a minority in the general public. But, if we band together we could stop this stuff from happening. Even Apple fans have to agree with this. They need to know that when any technology is owned by one company or at least the idea of it. That it is supressed and that company has no real reason to move forward on it. Like Apple does already. They have some of the coolest patents, yet they refuse to use them. Why? Because these super small incremental upgrades to there products do them fine. Why? Because the general public knows not of these ideas that do exist in an archive somewhere. They do not know that things could be way cooler and better for all of us. And perhaps possibly even worse. But, we wouldnt know until we try them out. But, that will not happen if patents are locked down like fort knox. Every one talks about the so called hope and change. Well, without some of these technological advances, we will not see this change for the better. We tout transparency for our governments. But what about for the private sector of ideas? The same needs to apply. If we can not change these small things in this day and age. Then what makes any one think that any big change is going to be easier? It wont. You have to take baby steps before big steps could ever be taken. And the steps of getting rid of idea holding needs to be walked allover and trampled on.

I agree somewhat. Don't flame me or anything but I believe Apple has the right to sue HTC since it is THEIR patent but should they.....no not at all. This just proves Apple is afraid if competition and will do what is necessary to take them down. They are acting like a bunch of babies and will get what they deserve soon enough. And I'm sure HTC will get out of this little mess soon enough

[HTC Rezound] Jaytronics:
I will not flame you. I do agree. They do have the right to sue. But, like you said, they shouldn't. But what I am saying is, we need to change the fact that every one and there mother could be sued for the so called infringement of patents. Heck, depending on your stance on creation and evolution. I do not think that any one that believes in creation thinks that God should sue us for using his ideas. Or even evolution. What? Should evolution sue apple for making a processor? The human brain is a processor. Or maybe Apple would like the creation of all babies to stop. Because they got the patent on a processor first? Or how about our nerv endings. Apple has a patent on touch screens. Should I stop feeling things with my hands? Or would they like to rip out our nervs unless we pay for the approval to use them? Lol! Apple can choke and go away. I don't want there rhetoric.
