[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackoutside:
Hope this works for others - I've read the other posts but didn't see this posted as a solution, if so, pardon the miss...

I've been using Android since Cupcake (and on the iPhone since the iPhone 3) and am very well versed in the Android "features" which are in general battery draining.

I've owned both the Nexus and the Nexus S.

After buying the GNX I turned it off, came straight home and charged to full before using it. The first thing I did after turning it on was to clear the cache, force close, and disable the Verizon bloatware, including news and weather.

I had all sync options / apps off, 2 Gmail accounts on, and I broke out in a cold sweat every time I turned the screen on, knowing it was going to kill my battery if I dare use the device for its intended purpose, social streaming, news feed reading, games, Netflix, etc.

Like most I was suffering from an abnormal wake time and "Android OS" was consistently the top battery drain in the Battery Panel within Settings.

700 bucks for a phone that I'm afraid to use (without a 50 foot extension cord nearby) doesn't make a whole lot of sense, given I can use all of the above listed features on my iPhone 4 without thinking twice about my battery.

I went back to the Verizon store where I purchased the phone, showed some screen grabs of the battery life I was getting, and asked for a new device, which was met with resistance - from my perspective it was pretty simple, either exchange the device or I'm gonna return it...

With the new phone I decided to try something different. I still shut it off after the purchase was complete, charged to full before using it, disabled the bloatware etc., but I decided to not accept the OS update.

After using the phone without accepting the update I noticed a marked improvement - the first item listed in the Battery Panel within Settings is either "Phone Idle" or "Screen", depending on usage, and "Android OS" is consistently the 4th item in the list, currently using 16% of my resources, with 14 hrs, 24 min of use and 64% remaining on my battery, and a very acceptable wake time.

I should also add that with both phones I had the "Don't keep activities" check box selected within Settings / Developer Options

Now the only real problem I have is the annoying pop up asking me to install the update with every active screen session, sometimes a few times within each session.

So for now, I'm going to hold off on accepting the update, hope I don't accidentally accept, and wait until I hear how well the next OS update is before accepting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joblabbo:
Tldr: I wiped/reset the phone but didn't update to 4.0.2. Now Android OS does not keep the phone awake.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Easy way to save battery: Put the phone down everyonce in a while. I get a good 7-10hrs out of it everyday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Sooooo you turned off multitasking, and denied an update. To all the new users I highly suggest you don't do this. Those are developer settings to test apps and killing multitasking is not gonna be beneficial.

Oh one more thing... change the title... Your misleading people.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackoutside:
Yep, that's all I did, I denied the update and there's a night and day difference between how this phone behaves on 4.0.1 vs. the one I had on 4.0.2

I remember the good ol' days, when folks would come to XDA to offer and receive help from each other...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Grims:
Funny how people think everything was the fix. You got an entirely new device...don't you think just maybe it could had been that, not the update?

This just in setting my wallpaper to the beach boys fixed it for me

( actually I have never had a wake lock issue... not on 4.0.1 4.0.2 or 4.0.3)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
this thread is a waste, and ere i was gettin all hopeful! anyhoo, i heard paul got it fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackoutside:
yeah... so much so that I'm not taking any updates until 4.0.3, and only after folks have had a chance to test it out and see how it performs.

Glad the beach boys fixed your issues, sure it wasn't your Justin Bieber ringtones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
This thread is misleading.

I have 4.0.1 and I have that high Android OS Keep awake time issue.

Again, that issue is not about battery life, but the keep awake of Android OS which is unusual.

I just disabled google+ and vzw backup. Phone is doing far better on battery.

It works and this tip might help so people

When you open cmd go to the folder you download the files to or it will not work or did not for me at first,

cd c:\users\<yourcomputername here mine is troy>\downloads\superuser

Then as link said

adb remount

adb push su /system/xbin/su

adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su

adb shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su

adb install com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk

adb reboot
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Alchemist07:
It works

It works!

Note that if you still have superuser installed from the previous roots before update to 6.2.1, it gives you a failed message for last step before reboot.

I presume this is because that step is just to install superuser again?

Mine is working now anyway despite this...im going to try installing recovery now and get cm7 on here before Amazon push another update^^

Of course it works, I wrote it while drunk.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vintage144:
I must be missing something , there is no drivers package in any of the files i downloaded ,just the su / superuser.apk , maybe im still drunk!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jcase:
Didn't include any, I don't use windows, and have no clue how to setup adb on it. Im sure you can find directions somewhere.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Vintage144:
ahh ok , i see
[Kindle Fire Android Development] jlocohustler:
You get the drivers with sdk manager in the sdk starter package from google.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] densetsu86:
hi my mother got the kindle fire and im trying to root it. but im having problems.

when i get to the cmd part where i type in

cd c:\KindleADB

then type

adb devices

nothing appears. restarted comptuer. still no go. uninstalled the android phone in device manager but once i put the kindle back it appeared again then tried to just update the driver but i do think it did anything cause i re-ran the script and still nothing. should i ignore and move on? or is the something less involed then this.

im running im just trying to get this thing rooted so i can use ad hoc mode but im having issues.

If anyone know that site ifailhard(proxy to get pass web2go), how do you get it to work?

From my previous experience, I tried it on the iPhone 3GS, HTC HD2, HTC Amaze, HTC Sensation, it worked using the proxy, allowing me to surf the web..

However, on the G2X, it keeps redirecting me to the web2go page.

Yes, the APN is set to wap.voicestream.com

ps:

why does username and password need to set to 'none' in order for data to work?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrBernz:
From my understanding, any T-Mobile branded phone since the G1 doesn't work with the usual proxy work around. However, this a modified version of Opera Mini that will work.

I send 2 or 3 HELP PM's to kyrillos but he didn't answer me back...

I'm using KYRILLO'S ROM 9.3 JPU, and when I install any app (and I've moved all apps to SD CARD) , SD card memory is used as normally...but some memory of the phone is being used also... Resuming I'm having phone's memory space problems, as an example, I inistalled an app (4,5 MB) moved to SD, (4,5 MB) used on SD + (4,5 MB) used on internal memory, BUT I've uninstalled the APP and the internal memory space didn't increased back.

Note: I didn't install or modified anything...for example "Enable Hybrid Data2sd"

Hope you can help me, and if you do, pls do it step by step, as i said...i'm a noob :) ty

If anyone wants Google Car Home with a stock phone, unlocked, unrooted, unanything I've gotten it working through this method:

Google Car Home on the Galaxy Nexus.

How I did it:

Follow the instructions here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/0...m-the-market-on-the-verizon-lte-galaxy-nexus/

Just type 'Google Car Home' whenever it refers to Google Wallet.

The app will install, but then give you a message that it's not compatible. You will not see it in your apps - however if you go to settings-->apps it's in the list - there is just no icon available.

So there is a final step, install this app:

https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5jd2ZrLmlnODguY2FybW9kZSJd

All this app does is give you a toggle to launch the default car home app. If you have more than one installed, it will as which you want to use.

I've used Google Car Home on my Verizon Nexus today and it works great. I've also changed the colors now so they match 'ICS blue'.

Will see if I can attach the image:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] st1g:
Waou it works perfectly...

Thank you so much... i've been looking for a way to install car home on my GNexus non rooted for age, and finally i have it, thanks to you.

I was stuck at first, cause i wasn't going on the car home page but stayed on the search results page (where you can actually clic install directly) and the market did the same and it didn't work... but then i did it properly and it's perfect.

I've downloaded apk from xda also, and it allowed me to have the exact same icon than the original (and not the car mode icon).

Anyway, works flawlessly. :)

once its done I type fastboot flash radio radio.img

this is where its stops, I get stuck at sending, I've tried 5 times now (I give it at least 5 minutes to get past sending but nothing happens) and nothing I just get stuck every time, I checked the radio.img md5 against the one in the thread and they match, as far as I'm aware I'm doing everything correct.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
HTC Sync on the phone doesn't have any bearing on it (you're in the bootloader so it wouldn't be loaded anyway), HTC Sync on your PC not connecting is normal because you're not on a Sense ROM but again that shouldn't affect this (the reason you should have an up to date HTC Sync install on your PC is to ensure you have the right drivers installed).

I'm not sure why it's not completing the send, but if all else fails you can always just download the radio as a PD98IMG.zip and flash it from the bootloader.

Or you could try this.
