Alright so my display on the nexus is always using anywhere from 49%-53% and I have it on the lowest brightness setting. How do I get it lower? any sugestions? Also, I got the phone on christmas and the most battery I've been able to get is 12 hours using the phone not at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liquidicem:
The display on a phone like this will almost always be the highest percent user of your battery, unless you never turn the screen on.

The more relevant question is how much Screen Time On are you getting out of a single charge?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lemim0uth:
Maybe you can open you phone and disconnect the display (have a look at http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-Teardown/7182/1) it may help. Hopefully voice control works fine :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cancerouspete:
Remember, its just percentage. The lower your screen % the higher everything else is drawing. You have to expect the screen will always be the biggest drawer. Better to go by run time, how long you are getting out of your battery before it dies. You still have quite a bit of life left at say 20% battery.

Turning down brightness is the most you can do, other than being proactive about turning the screen off when you are done and not letting it time-out.

Eventually new software will help with battery life; using custom roms with later releases has improved consumption. Also remember to turn off wifi if you are not using it. Big hog

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lemim0uth:
When using my phone, the display is always the culprit for battery usage. That's normal.

If you don't use your phone heavily and only get 12 hours, your problem is elsewhere. What do your battery stats say (settings -> battery) ?

edit : typo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biglipps66:
Isnt there a thousand threads on the internet about screen % and battery life :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vertiginouz:
The display will most likely always draw the most power but you can do two things. First you can lower the brightness, and second, you can use black wallpapers because super amoled screens use the least amount of power when displaying black
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
This seems to be incorrect from a test someone did on this forum.

Basically on lowest brightness - white and black appear to use roughly same.

On max setting, white killed the battery in half the time that black did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
No, but if you have a choice to extend the battery 1%, by simply choosing something as simple as a darker wallpaper, I see no issue with the advice. Everything you hit the home button you'll see the wallpaper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lemim0uth:
I prefer having a nice colorful wallpaper than a black one that would extend my battery a few %. It all depends on how you use your phone and what are your needs.

Today I've used my phone heavily (web browsing and google reader, gaming, bought a new bluetooth headset and played with it, 30' GPS with Google Maps, etc) and I'm at 38% after 17 hours, with an animated wallpaper. Not too bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leenukes:
This is my battery status from my display. Its not on the lowest setting, maybe 10% at most.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
It's like every incarnation of a phone with an SAMOLED screen shocks people. I don't know why. The screen sucking juice is about the biggest, "well duh" concept out there. ;)

It is what it is. All ya can do is live with it, or get a phone with an old TFT display. :p

I would love to read the flame on that post, got a link? The screen uses leds. When off or turned way down they use less power, thats why they get darker. Not like a lcd that uses power to make dark

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus Bugless Beast 4.0.3 lte +franco#6
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1.21Gigawatts:
well, that's true, but...

There are reverse LCDs that use power to make white, but virtually all LCDs need backlighting, so the tradeoff is less important. Also, LCDs really (theoretically, at least) only use power when changing state. As long as the display isn't changing, the power usage is virtually zero.

All that said, reducing the brightness on my gnex makes a HUGE difference in battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
You do realize you just revived an almost 8 month old thread right? And I just bumped it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
That's roughly what I will get with brightness at about 70%. The battery life is not great on this phone, PERIOD. Just enjoy the phone and charge it when it needs to be charged (it charges up really quickly).

It is amazing how many people have 3-4 hours to be spending on their phone a day. :confused::confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
Well I might as well finish off any questions since this was revived

LCD screens use power even if the pixil was black. They use power even if the image is not moving.

Amoled screens (our phone) are the same as LCD except that black pixils don't use any power.

E-ink screens are a different matter they don't use any power when nothing is changing and they only use power at at the pixils that change to display the content. The issue with this tech for general display use is the refresh rate is a Max of 10 fps on the new displays. The new color displays are washed out.

The reason our battery life is like **** is because of our large displays and that poor battery does not have enough power to keep them going. They are the main power suckers of all electronics and our CPU takes a fraction compaird to them.

These kernels help by being more efficient with the power and undervolting the CPU giving us a idle time of over 20 Hrs.

The reason people can push 5 Hrs screen time is because of these black themes helping the screen use less power. Its the reason black themes are soon popular. In general your lucky to hit 3 Hrs its not that its defective its just how it is

I hope this clears some things up
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
I'm shocked that these discussions keep popping up.

In my experience, all smartphones have considerably less battery life than "feature phones".

That's how it's always been. Compared to my old HTC Touch Pro2, this, and even my OG Epic, are a FAR CRY better on battery life. That said, I always keep a charger with me. That's just been Common Sense for as long as I've had a smartphone.

Anyone remember cell phones from the mid-1990s? I was lucky to make the walk to the convenience store and back (about a mile and a half) while talking on the phone without the battery dying!

Kids these days (and I'm only 35).....

It does have that option, but when I tested it on my phone ( nexus s ics Cm9 a18) it forced closed.

Normally I have it setup to start an app with long press of search key and I never have a problem.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] developersdevelopers:
There is a simple method that requires you to edit the "cypress-touchkey.kl" file located at /system/usr/keylayout. I used Root Explorer

To do this.

Once you navigate to that directory where the file is stored you need to click Mount R/W for write permissions and then edit the file. You need to change the last line that says "SEARCH" to "APP_SWITCH". Once you save the file, the change should be automatic (no need to reboot). Root explorer will make a backup of your original file, so don't worry if you somehow screw up.

I should point out this only brings up the old Gingerbread style recent apps screen and not the new honeycomb/ics style one. No one has found the key code for that yet.

Anyways, enjoy!

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Beerme_Please:
This may be a dumb question But I am new to the Nook Tablet and the Android world (I still have a flip-phone) and could use some help.

I am rooted (Thanks Indirect and albertwertz! There is a special place in the afterlife for those who help others!) and I chose Honeycomb launcher.

I would like to try other launchers but do not know if I have to re-root in order to do so or can I install another and just change to that?

Any advice on the best launcher would be appreciated also. I know this is subjective but I appreciate your opinion.

And one more question. If I re-root and have purchase apps from the Android Market and Amazon can I re-download them without paying or can i back them up (I have Titanium Backup) and restore them.

Thanks for any replies, All help is appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Once you are rooted, you will stay rooted unless you unroot yourself or are unrooted by an OTA update. So yes, you can try other launchers. And anything you purchase through Google or Amazon can be redownloaded at no charge as long as you are signed in with the same account.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davewuvswaffles:
To install another launcher just install the apk or go to the Market and install one through there.

To get rid of Honeycomb Launcher, just go to the Android Market > My Apps and click on HCL Launcher and then Uninstall.

I recommend ADW Ex launcher, it's by far my favorite of all and really has amazing customization potential. A great out-of-the-box launcher is Go Launcher EX, which may be good for you until you get a hang of things.

Just to show what I've accomplished with ADW Ex, check this out.

Hi, I can't seem to uninstall Go Launcher Ex as I'd like to stick with ADW. Does anyone know how to do that? I get an error when I try to do it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] deralaand:
What does the error say?

Did you try the uninstall through the'manage apps' interface?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] greenjeddak:
Do you mean through the Android Market? If so, yes, and it says it is uninstalled, but then it can be selected through the home button interface again and is still there.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Did you move it to /system/app rather than /data/app?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] greenjeddak:
goex.apk is in system/app -- i dont have an /app folder in data
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
That's why it's not uninstalling from the market. System apps don't work that way. You can delete it from /system/app.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] greenjeddak:
OK, good to know, thank you. However, I can't seem to delete it. Any suggestions for doing so? Maybe I'm not using the right file browser?

On some ROMS I've noticed the same behavior, but not on all ROMS. If you are using a custom rom, check by backing up everything and flashing a stock ROM. I'm using unNamed and it shows both networks and can connect to both. Some might say this is a kernel or modem issue, but I've switched ROMS while using the same kernel/modem and the behavior changed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ethraza:
Today I went to the Market to buy GTA3 just to find out that my Transformer is sayd to be incompatible device.

What I would like to find here is if someone knows what I need to change in the build.prop or elsewhere to make my Transformer be recognized as a... Transformer.

I know that it can be done because I have a Kyros Mid1024 too, with a CFW that tells Market it is a Sansung GT-P1000 tablet so I can install near everything on that. And my Transformer w/ Dock and KRAKD 1.4.2 can not! :confused:

I believe it would be even better if the Upd8r developer or other app developer could make it to change the identification between Transformer, Xoon, Galaxy and Iconia, so we can install everything from the Market. :cool:

So, any ideas on how to tweak my build.prop so I can PAY and install from Market apps like GTA3 and others ( Modern Combat 3 for A500? Anyone? ) ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ethraza:
Ohohoh

Now that we finnaly have some ICS love on our TF101 (plus.google.com/104527547398404782016/posts/eDoMedFsNer), maybe someone can be more interested in make the Transformer more compatible in the Market.

Hopping so! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] luna_c666:
Going back to stock and upgrading to ICS will fx the problem, the reason no one answered you is because this question has been asked before- a few things can mess up compatibility, having an older kernel leftover from a modded ROM, having your LCD density adjusted (I know, but it happens, screen size will make it think it is an incompatible device). I had this problem until I finally went back to stock and started my rooting/ROM process all over, checking previously 'incompatible' apps in the market after each update..just to make sure they weren't getting 'broken' by each update. I am on ICS with a fully functioning market now. You will just need to search more for your answer it is out there..don't be afraid to read stuff that might not be related to your problem- it might be related to your NEXT problem ;)
