[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WheresMeCheese:
So does the extended battery actually give the phone a lot more use time? I'm lucky to get 9 hours out of mine (and I only play with it for about an hour or two in that time.) Coming from an iPhone, I was hoping this phone would stay alive for at least 14 hours... Maybe I'm just dreaming :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
Hiram,

Any issues using the extended battery and backplate with the standard cases?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
For general use a little math will give you a good idea of what the battery will do for you:

2100 (ext. bat. capacity) / 1850 (your current bat) =1.135 (the capacity of the extended battery compared to your battery)

9hrs (your current battery life)*1.135=10.22 hrs, or 10 hours and 13 minutes.

Specifically, the big drain (by far) on the Nexus is the screen. It draws somewhere in the area of 500-600 milliamps per hour (mah), in addition to whatever else you're doing. In total, the LTE Galaxy Nexus pulls about 600-660mah with the screen on in LTE mode and a little bit less than that in CDMA mode (570-630). With the extra 250mah, that comes out to an extra 25 minutes of screen time per charge.

Honestly, for the same money, I'd get that motorola plug-in battery that VZW sells (1850 mah, so a near doubling of capacity) or a spare charger. Amazon (the actual amazon, not the storefronts that could get away with counterfeits) sells legit OEM chargers for $8. Motorola's car charger is able to push out 950mah, so your battery would be charged roughly as quck as the 1 amp wall wart that came with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KidCuda:
With moderate use and the screen on for most of the time (with 3G only) my Nexus drains slowly with the Motorola car charger (I had the Droid 3 previously). This is with just web surfing and messing around with the phone, no GPS/ navigation or anything.

I didn't do so well in my basic circuits class, but the math in this case doesn't necessarily represent real world use. But I guess everyone's experience differs!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trueislander:
Got the extended battery installed and charged 2 days ago. Looking at 1 day, 8 hrs until I hit the 4% mark. FB, Twitter, Agenda widget, WeatherBug and Engadget Widgets running, Brightness = Auto, WiFi = Always On, LTE = On, Bluetooth used to/from work in the car = 45 mins total. So far so good. We'll see what improvements a few discharge/recharge cycles bring!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
Hooray! Finally someone who understands that 1+1 does NOT equal 12!

These people that get a battery with 15% more capacity than stock and THINK they get 30% more "use" compared to stock are suffering from the placebo effect or hallucinating. As you say, it's all basic math. If the battery has 15% more capacity AT MOST under PERFECT conditions all you will get is 15% more use.

What's even funnier are those who believe the actual ratings on the cheap Chinese eBay batteries. A "3800mah" battery + cover for $9 shipped is a joke. You're lucky if the actual rating of the battery inside the plastic is the same as the stock battery.

Hey Furzbirre,

I tried everything here - no luck. Could you please tell me what you exactly did?

I have a 8.6.6.23 / BA0 / TF101G (seems pretty the same version you have).

Thank you very much, Thomas

PS: What I tried already:

- downgrade with 8.6.6.19 version floating around on multiupload

- unzipped the epad...zip from the download

- put it on microsd, internal sd, renamed it to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip

- rebooted with vol-down/power, then vol-up: android update started

- yellow sign: no update possible - still 8.6.6.23

-> what have you done diffrently?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djcody:
in some thread i found this method: after you unzip file, you make name one copy of this file ""EP101_SDUPDATE"" then you make another copy of this same file and name ""WW_epad-user-8.6.6.19"" so on the end you have 2 same files with diferent names, now you copy this 2 files to micro sd card

and another copy 2 files to tablet sdcard, root folder

after going to recovery mode is installing with no problem, just done 2 days ago

and dont forget to remove this files after instalation and reboot

i hope is gonna work for you ether
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Yeah, just don't bother putting them on the internal memory, it doesn't search the root of that drive, it checks the system/cache (I think) folder for official Asus updates, stick with keeping it on external memory, especially if unrooting because if you place these files on your internal and return it if someone else roots the device and finds these files it is a smoking gun that it has been rooted in the past. Just in case...keep it on your external (and that might have been my post you read that in, I have found that the EP101_SDUPDATE file is not even necessary ;) )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Caanon:
Hey all!

Love the new GN. Got a question: is there an easy, non-intrusive way to auto-toggle Wifi? I'm imagining something that will turn on/off the wifi every 10 mins. If it finds a network that it knows, it'll connect to it and keep the wifi on; if not, it'll turn it back off. On the other hand, if I'm connected to Wifi and I leave the AP radius for more than a minute or two, it'll turn off Wifi and switch to 4g.

Seems like something that should be baked into Android. Am I missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djones722:
I don't have the perfect answer to your question, but I want to do something similar. I'm going to purchase the Locale app from 244 software to see if that works. I don't think they have a free or trial version, so I'm making a $3.99 gamble. The app description says it can do things like enable or disable wi-fi based upon your location, such as home or the office. I assume if you're home or at the office and have used those wi-fi networks before, your device would automatically connect, if the wi-fi were enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spaz199:
Juice Defender has this feature. I use the paid version, and you can set it to manage your wi-fi connection. There's also a free version but I'm not quite sure if it has this feature.

Even if you have access to the source code still it wouldn't just need to be recompiled but you'd also need all the programs, libraries and so on the game needs for Android and (depending on how "low level" the programming is ) different chipsets.

[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
Ive heard of people bringing the stock voicemail app from their Evos and stuff over to roms, and followed a few tutorials for CM7 and none of them work for my photon on CM7. It basically consists of making a Titanium backup from a stock rom of the voicemail app then installing an apk provided on whatever rom your running and restoring the data via Titanium.. however this doesnt work for me. The apk installs and i restore data fine but when i send myself a message all i ever get is the text message announcement of it and it never appears within the voicemail app, like it should, and used to, and the text message provides a phone number to call to listen to the message. Has anyone been able to get this to work on Photon? If so can you provide the .apk you used and specific instructions of what you did?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
I used titanium to back it up from stock and used titanium to restore app&data. then I used thus trick to get it going. try sending this compose to:

activate@vvm.sprint.com

hit record let it go for 12-16 seconds

click send. you should get a message saying provisioned successful sometimes you have to disable forwarding I think its

*38 enter and call with dialer will hear some beeps.. might try the *38 then the provisioning hope it helped
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
I called the *38 and it beeped for a while, then disconnected after 12 seconds. The VM app is already trying to send that same message you said, to the activate@vvm.sprint.com, but its stuck in the undelivered section and wont send. When i tell TI Backup to restore app+data it tries to install, and fails upon trying to install the actual app(i read you have to install via an apk, one i downloaded from a post in evo section) but it restores data fine.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Hi people. I wanted to report my horrible experience today and i found no general thread to add my input so i created one.

At some point during the day i opened the S note app to browse some notes i'd written last night when the phone froze while trying to open one. I pressed down the power button to restart the phone but all it did was shut down so i plugged the charger in to see if the battery died (weird because it was still at 70%+). The phone responded to this and the offline battery charging screen appeared.

I tried to boot the phone after that and indeed i saw the galaxy note logo appearing and that's all i saw. The phone wouldn't carry on to the samsung logo. So it just froze again there. I restarted ofc and the phone booted normally and for 5 minutes it was okay until...

Until i tried sending an sms at which time the same thing happened.

Not to tire you guys further the same thing has been happening for the remainder of the day up until half an hour ago where the most recent crash took place.

The issue happened mostly during a cpu speed shift. I know this because it happened as i was waking the phone a couple of times and while i generally used it for something active(yes like opening notes)

I am worried sick and i have been browsing my guarantee papers thinking of returning the phone for another one.

Has anyone else got the same issues? The samsung quick start guide says that if you get fatal errors and such you should reset the phone. Well i did several times and at one point i had a reboot where the screen went all bad with random color rows like a major screen error.

Would you recomend i give it in or do you have any ideas about what might have caused those issues?

Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
After tons of crashes, a glitched screen that scared the beejeezus out of me and a hard crash that made my device emit a high pitch sound similar to a bomb countdown I think i am getting close to what is making my Note crash that hard.

I guess i am one of the few people that actually uses the Note as a... Notepad!

I write many notes on it, mostly capturing good ideas that come spontaneously and generally when i want to capture a thought and trap it in my phone for later utilization. Problem is the Note can't handle it(At least that's what i think it is).

I have stored in my S-Memo application approximately 30 notes, most of them written in the old fashioned keyboard way and full of text, whereas a few others written in the Galaxy Note way with the S-Pen.

Now whenever i open the S-Memo app my phone crashes without even opening the app. It freezes on the black screen interval between my tapping the S-Memo icon and actually opening it. Now that's not the only occasion my Note crashes but it's the surest and plus it's where the problem started in the first place.

[Update] I just tried deleting all the notes and the phone got stuck while deleting. But finally they have been deleted.

I will keep the thread updated if i run into other problems. I am trying to narrow down the problem. If it gets stuck again then it's probably not the notes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
After deleting the S memo notes my phone is back to normal.

No crashes, no freezes, no nothing.

I would like to hear other people's feedback on the matter. Does your phone behave the same after writing 30+ heavily written notes on S-Memo?

If yes then Samsung sure picked the wrong name for it's phone. It does everything BUT notekeeping!

Anyway. My 5 cents guys. Peace, out!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdiomedes:
Sorry if this is not your case (and I am probably writing these rather late), but I am having a similar issue with my notes. While trying to open a note from inside S Memo app, I am receiving a crash report ("The application S Memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.The application S Memo (process com.sec.android.widgetapp.diotek.smemo) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.").

This crash is not happening to all my notes. So I tried to see how are the notes that is crashing different from the other notes that is not crashing. In my case is the note date (written at the bottom of each note). The notes that when I am trying to open the application crashes have a creation date 01.01.1970 while the others are having the correct date.

This change in the creation date probably happened yesterday when I updated my phone to XXKL7.

PS. The notes are only crashing within the S Memo app. They are not crashing for example if I try to open them as a Widget that I have exported in the home screen.

I can't find a way to change the date, so I will try to export the notes and delete them.

I will keep you posted.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roxxy:
Thank you for the info on this issue. I love my Note, but sometimes I get the feeling that Samsung has been sending the Galaxy Note out to the marked without the proper testing beforehand. It looks as if your Note has a problem with handling to many notes at the same time, and since the note-handling is one of the phones major features, I really hope this is something Samsung fixes before they sending out the upcoming ICS-update.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Actually thank you for reminding me of this issue. I forgot to update this topic.

The thing is that the issue happened again a few days after i erased those memos. I called the store that sold me the device and asked to give it back to them. They said that one way or the other they will have to hand it over to samsung for them to see.

They advised i wait after the holidays to really get some decent feedback.

Thing is that ever since i called the store my note has been it's normal self again.

I suspect though that under heavy use it will do the same again, but i cannot determine what triggers those freezes.

I have got two years of waranty. After the first week where the store just replaces your device no questions asked i now have to abide by the standard procedure, so i keep a close eye on my note for any glitches, malfunctions and freezes.

Truth is that some part of me wants to forget this ever happened and not pursue the way to finding out what the problem is in fear that samsung will find some loophole out of their posteriors and not replace my device.

I will not push it but if the phone breaks down again i will have to send it to them.

Now if there is any of you who knows of any diagnostic tools for the Note i would greatly appreciate it.

btw i believe the same thing about samsung, their devices are poorly tested but their devices policy are open source in comparison to Apple and i like that. Sometimes i think that Apple is there just to piss off people and give it's competitors the edge with their overprotecting policy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android 4.9 Marshmallow:
Stathi

I have no clue what to make of your issue. I myself try to understand what is happening but you are the second person to report an issue with the S-Memo application.

At least your phone did not freeze and crash. That should be consoling.

My problem happened when i created a folder within the S-memo and stored some notes inside. It could be the folder or it could be the files but after the first crash and reboot the thumbnail of one of the notes had trouble showing up and instead was replaced by a blank thumbnail, as if the text inside had been erased(but when you browsed the note you found out that it wasn't).

I don't know if that helps but that all i can think of.

In my case it seems that the problem is more generic, but i have no clue where it originated.

As i said above if it happens again i will send it back to samsung. If it keeps happening to you i suggest you do the same. Don't let them sell you a 600-700euro device without making sure it works perfectly. Remember the making of the device cost wisely is ridiculously lower. It might even amount to something in the vicinity of 50 euros for the materials and the assembly altogether.

To sit back and accept a faulty device is making their pockets rich selling snake oil to the people.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdiomedes:
Well, I tried to enter the folder that the S Memo keeps the notes but couldn't fix anything. Finally I sync them to my evernote account and did a factory reset.

I'll come back if I find anything useful. I think too, that Samsung doesn't thorough exam the updates.
