[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] feeltherealpower:
I am using a Japanese galaxy nexus and I am still on 4.01 I have no idea when docomo will release updates for the phone. There is supposed to be the mail service application and tethering coming mid next month. I am not sure if that is related to the ICS update or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Im just hoping that 4.0.3 will improve the sound volume on Galaxy Nexus... even when the phone is at maximum, it still sounds very quiet.

This is my only gripe with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
I have 4.0.2 and battery life is definitely not as expected. Battery life was significantly better on 4.0.1, and I'm not the only one that is affected by this.

Incidentally, my sister who has my old Nexus S and recently got Android 4.0.3 on her phone has also noticed a very significant battery life diminish compared to when the phone ran Gingerbread. Android OS in the battery life stats is taking up inordinately large amounts of battery, just like on my Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.2.

My point being - you're lucky that you haven't noticed battery life issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
I can confirm this on my girlfriend's Nexus S, but not really on my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
I get an easy 2 days out of my nexus now running 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
i'm lucky to get 14 hours...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
On my original handset before i got it replaced (and got stuck on ITL41D) running 4.0.2 i got about 3 days on a single charge which was far better than what i had on 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
how could your handset be stuck on ITL41D, yet be running 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
Heard from an Update in Januar where they also want to include some more improvements of the camera app. Not sure if this will be 4.03 or a further one, but 4.03 would make sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
Whats the source?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
bleh at work not reading what i'm typing

my first handset got the OTA to 4.0.2 pretty quickly (and had the 3 day usage)

it's my replacement handset that's stuck on ITL41D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
The Gnex "yakju" receives updates directly from Google or need the intervention of the carrier? My device is still in version 4.0.1 and i do not intend to update manually by having to perform the "unlock" of the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
Verizon being involved in testing is completely different than the impression that OTAs don't come directly from Google.

Naturally, vzw has to certify any image release but all signs point to Google distributing the gold image, not vzw. Especially when you consider vzw's changes are "additions" to Google's 'mysid' image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
If you notice he got it replaced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
if you notice, he admits that he fudged his post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Was pretty obvious what he meant. I had no trouble figuring it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
seeing a lot of misinformed posts here.

first off, at least dictate what version of the Gnexus you have, either HSPA+ or LTE, make sure you identify what device you have.

Clearly the HSPA+ version gives much better battery life than the LTE version.

If you're on LTE Version, you'll be lucky to get 3 hours of on-screen time with 4G enabled all day. This clearly needs to be resolved. I really do hope they resolve it within 2 weeks or the Nexus is going to get returned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
All very true. Not once did I ever say that Verizon was pushing the update. But I was simply putting out the information that

Verizon is involved in the update process

, unlike some people are saying. It is horribly ignorant to think Verizon has no hand in the update.

---------- Post added at 12:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

This is totally not a battery life thread. We already have dozens of those.

And as much as they could optimize the software on the LTE version, a software update can't fix the fact that they still have dedicated separate CDMA and LTE radios, which drains battery. Its a physical limitation right now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
they can definitely optimize baseband firmware. Qualcomm LTE chip is definitely a physical limitation, which is probably one of the reasons why Apple forgoed an LTE iPhone this year probably.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hotleadsingerguy:
See you're using the wrong terminology...it's not that he hasn't *noticed* battery life issues, it's that he probably doesn't *have* battery life issues. Not all phones are affected by it. That's the suspected reason 4.0.3 was delayed in its rollout...because *SOME* devices are having battery life problems.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Or...turn off LTE. You don't have to have it on all day to enjoy the benefits of it. I have it on all day because I have ample time to charge it (it sits on my desk and charges all day at work, then it charges all night every night)...but when I know I won't be near a charger all day I just turn off the LTE radio except when I need it (when I'm actively using the phone). I still easily get 18-24 hours of battery life out of the phone. Last night, with LTE on all day (and not charging at work), I ended the day at 40% battery after 17:30 of ontime. I had 1:45 of screen ontime with that, as well. Sure, more screen time would have drastically reduced the battery life...but I easily could have made it 24 hours with that same amount of use (and would have ended with just shy of 3 hours of screen time).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petexjunior:
Absolutely agree 100%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
My Galaxy Nexus is running 4.0.2 from Google and I thought its battery life is not as good as I expected. Maybe I'm wrong but my old Galaxy S2 has better battery life.

Hope 4.0.3 will resolve this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
We may not see 4.0.3.

4.0.3 has been labelled specifically a Nexus S build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Guys, just unlock the bootloader and flash AOKP + franco kernel already (best combo IMO). You'll get a much better ROM and good battery life (though don't expect any miracles - the extended battery will make a much larger difference).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
We all know you can unlock your boot loader its xda lol thanks . I'm sure the op was thinking Google update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mawdo:
4.0.4 have been leaked
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dw9906:
REMOVED
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alltellmobile:
Here is the link from my backed up rom it should have no Personal settings. I have also no proof that it works, because no one has flashed it yea, but it's here ifyou need it.

http://www.4shared.com/file/zhZjh0EY/package_us235tar.html
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Zyxxeil:
Wow. You got it to work, me and some other people constantly kept trying it for hours but no luck. I'm curious can you tell me what you did, since i'm new i'm trying to learn as much as i can so i can improve my self at this. Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
I downloaded the md5 file, and it just contains factoryfs.rfs and zImage, which are the system and kernel partitions. So it's still not a full recovery with all the complete partitions but can still recover your device if you were messing with the system partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] alltellmobile:
This is what i followed to back up the rom. The part that says stl is really an L and not a 1 thats what was messing me up at first. Then you have to convert the backup to a tar.md5 by using cygwin, or linux and Point the commands to where ever you copied the backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, thank you for the contribution! @hyperruner, I finally got my device back from Samsung, works fine again! @klin1344, ever get yours unbricked? I can confirm Samsung won't do anything about it if you send it in rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
Yeah I got mine back from Samsung a few days ago, and it works now.

Same here, they didn't check if it was rooted or not.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
I am thinking about switching to Verizon from AT&T and getting the GNex as att is beyond horrible but does anyone know of a way to turn LTE off with keeping all other data on. I looked for LTE toggles on the market and it seams they only have them for the charge, thunderbolt, and revolution but no other phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heartbreak:
Yeah, there is a toggle in the settings for just using CDMA as opposed to CDMA/LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cordell507:
thanks alot, really looking forward to getting this phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Heartbreak:
It is a sweet handset, I have very few issues with it. The few I do have will be corrected with software updates in the future.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
So does juice defender actually do anything special to make you battery life better? Or is it just an app for the "lazy" if you will.

Does it do special things or does it just shut off radios and whatnot when your not using them?

I'm pretty good about shutting off radios and dimming brightness when needed and get 15 hours easy on stock battery so I don't necessary need it but its always kinda made me wonder...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnulldroid:
Just my opinion, but with the advances in Kernels and other features, either built into ROMs (AOSP and Sense) or applied separately, and their progression over time I have felt that separate battery saving programs are a thing of the past.

Extended batteries have assisted in this need to feed our EVOs also. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greggd:
I totally agree and have noticed much the same.

My battery life is far better using CM7 and the SavagedZen kernel that it ever was with Juice Defender back in the day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threestripebrand:
So awesome of you guys to reply to the op and give your opinion on today's kernels and not answer the question at hand in any way shape or form lol ;p

Juice defender doesn't do anything that the knowledgeable phone owner already does for battery saving.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djn777:
i agree. upgrade kernal and ROM to really save on battery. i have an original june 2010 evo and just finally ordered a replacement battery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devnulldroid:
Ok.. direct and to the point.. I usually try to not bad mouth software openly, but since called out, every battery optimizer I have ever used, even juice defender sucked and did nothing.

Same thing for memory optimizers, cache cleaners and other "snake oil" software/code/scripts.... on any platform, computer or phone. That better :cool:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary13579:
A program that automatically turns off EVDO, wifi, etc most certainly saves a significant amount of battery life... if you think turning your phones EVDO radio off is "snake oil" then you're pretty damn incorrect. Leaving my phone on EVDO all the time it'll get a few days of battery life idle, vs several weeks of battery life with a strict tuned JuiceDefender setup.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
Thank you. Direct and to the point. Answered my question
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Yeah, I used juice defender and it honestly saved a little battery nothing substantial but getting emails and things late because its killing my data when screen is off not worth it, so no it doesn't truly save battery. Its just more of a tool to control when your data is on and off..
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaviator:
Hi All -

I finally broke down and rooted my US wifi Xoom, but I've run into a problem. I followed the instructions for installing the custom recovery and that went fine. I then installed the 'update_US-Xoom-WiFi-3.2.1-HTK75D_stachre_v02.zip' per the instructions.

When I rebooted, the Xoom was stuck in the honeycomb boot animation. I manually rebooted using the vol up / power button and, upon reboot, I got the green "enter your password" screen that I'd normally see after encrypting my device (I didn't encrypt it).

Now, I'm stuck there - I tried reflashing the recovery and the ROM, did a factory reset, etc and I get the same thing. I can't format or mount the 'data' folder in recovery - I suspect that's where the problem is.

Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

<UPDATE> Disregard - a quick 'fastboot oem unlock' solved the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Iam coming from my OG Droid and I notice that when iam in "my apps" in the market app on my tablet and I see the list of apps needing update in the left column that when you click them you go to their permissions settings BUT should you not be going to the apps full listing like you had searched for it? That's what my phone does & the logical thing as you want to see the change log & user reports first. It makes no sense to click the app & get the permissions details. In this setup you have to exit "my apps" & search for the app & read change log & reviews & then upgrade. It seems like they have us going to the wrong place.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
no one else finds this odd?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
I'm really confused about what you are saying are you saying you can't see permissions right from my apps section?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
On my phone when you go into "my apps" in the Market app you see your apps and a list of those needing updates. If you click the app you go to the apps full market listing.

BUT on the tablet if you click the app a column to the right shows you its requested permissions. It does not take you to the apps market listing - like phones do - to review change logs & reviews.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
Okay I see well that's just how the market for tablets is designed already they still give us the permissions
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Right.. but it is useless this way.

So your care about seeing permissions more than seeing the apps change log or reviews BEFORE blindly updating? Not me. I expect it to take me to the apps market listing like phones do so I can check out the app and from there maybe update.I already accepted the permissions when I first downloaded so I don't care about those until AFTER I review the changelog and recent comments ...not before
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
If you click the app once in the right menu where it shows you permissions it brings y you to change log and reviews...

I would like to see those first but it's not that hard just to press one more button
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Sorry... but for me it only shows "allow automatic updating" checkbox and permission listed under that. Below that is "see all" which just opens more permissions list.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tylermaciaszek:
If you click the name on to it will show you everything
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
ahhh... you were not being clear as I just discovered if you click the icon/logo of the app in the gray box THEN you get the full app listing.

Ass backwards & nio like phone function as clicking the app name in the list gets you the full apps listing first then IF you click to update you get permissions data.

Tablet method on this puts the donkey before the cart.

Nexus HD2?

which rom you guys think is better!!

please help!!! I already flash all them don;t see any diffent.

which is battery saver and faster?
[HD2 General] archiesnet:
Why not try all of them to see yourself which one is better :)
[HD2 General] murphy_:
I'm using SENSATION XL V 2.5 stock ALL IN ONE on my HD2. Its kinda laggy but I think that might be about my sd card. But everyone says it's the fastest and smothest Sense Rom ever. So I would give it a try.
[HD2 General] erwinpiero:
For now, froyo and nexus based rom GB are suitable for my EU HD2. Runny and pyramid are still buggy and most of them runs laggy. Don't now if this happen to tmous version, since it has more internal memory.
[HD2 General] NightForce:
Xperia Arc Beta

i think the xperia arc beta is very good!!! i use it every day and it´s the best rom for my hd2!!!! :):):):)
[HD2 General] petertseng:
I think you need to try by yourself to find out the one for you!

There is no perfect suit for everyone!!
[HD2 General] Sapporo23:
I used Typhoon Cyanogenmod for a looong time, about 6-7 months maybe. Really liked it.

Using Tytung's NexusHD IceCreamSandwich now, because it is Android 4 :cool: .
[HD2 General] markeeinsik:
aside from being the best android, which android rom has good battery life? i can only use my nexushd2 v3.2a gingerbread rom for half a day... huhuh
[HD2 General] asturur:
I feel comfortable with typhoon cyanogen mod.

simple, fast, good battery lasting and clean android look.

Then customize as you wish.

I used a lot of launchers before falling back on the standard one from cyanogemod, a modified version of ADW launcher.
[HD2 General] cd78:
Sense builds are too laggy for our HD2

I recommend MIUI (in particular Jan Willems builds) or one of the CM7 builds, Hyperdroid is a good one.
[HD2 General] dexterxx:
As above: try them all. Unique taste is very important - I like stock-similar rom's so I prefere UrDroid or RCMix3D.

Same like above: Not enought optimised HTC Sense >2.5 is too laggy to our device...
[HD2 General] samizad:
Definitely Nexus HD2. It's only a Beta but you'll love ICS.
[HD2 General] erwinpiero:
Using now pure cyanogen mod7 by tweakos, so far the best nexus base, if you like sense, try mikhei777 froyo.

[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
I have been flashing for a while, and although not a pro by any means, I'm not a noobie either. I've looked for similar issues from others and have yet to find one that addresses this point specifically: I downloaded and attempted to utilize the PG58IMG.ZIP and repeatedly get the PU Fail. I saw another post relating to the issue being when you either accidentally or purposely try to flash it MORE THAN ONCE. I believe this is the mistake I made ( I was dumb enough to flash while riding in a car ). The issue is this: If I try to enter recovery from the 'outside' ; i.e. a completely turned off phone, with vol and on/off, I cannot use recovery. It will repeatedly make me go through the process of trying and failing to install this over and over. So, am I screwed? To tell the truth, I have no other issues with the phone, running ARHD 3.6.9, 4.1.9, or 5.0.2 as well as RCmix 3.5 v10 or ICS. BUt, if something happens to keep me from accessing recovery from within 4EXT, I will have a real problem. Now, I've seen the new RUU posting for ICS and would like to try it. Will this fix my problem? Is updating my HBOOT the answer? Is there any other way that I'm not thinking of? I don't often start threads with questions becuase I'm willing to find the answer through searching, but haven't found any direct answers to this particular part of the problem. Any help would be appreciated...

So if you flash a lot of RUU ,you must have supercid?
[HTC Sensation] wmoore:
Silly question perhaps but have you deleted PG58IMG from your SD card and tried then?
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
No, as a matter of fact, I re-downloaded it to be sure the one I had wasn't corrupted somehow. Still, no luck.
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
I don't believe I do. Tried accomplishing that this morning, but permission denied. I flash many ROMs and add-ons, but have only flashed the original RUU to S-off and root.
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
Just to update, I activated the superCID from my laptop, no problems. Went with the new ICS RUU, and so far everything is sweet! Going to re-flash my ARHD 5.0.2 and then see what I have.
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
Well, ICS RUU, re-rooted, clockworkmod re-installed, busybox, and 4EXT. Flashed my ARHD 5.0.2 restore, and now I'm running HBOOT 1.20, Android 4.0.1, and it's all very smooth. Impressed! Apparently, if you get an update fail on your HBOOT, you can solve it by going to the next level, so to speak. Anyone out there have any viable suggestions on how to 'recover' their recovery without having to resort to this, I'm sure it would be good information to have. Otherwise, case closed!

Delete PG58 file or pull sd card out ;)
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
Tried both with no success. Even thought about downgrading to utilize an older HBOOT like some recommended. Decided if I had to go 'up' or 'down', I'd rather go up. Glad it worked out well. I saw some had a serious problem with other recent releases. Mike1986 is at the top of his game, so I'm grateful! Long Live ARHD! Just to be fair, RCMix does great work as well, its just an apples and oranges thing I guess. (No disrespect to any other developers, these are the only ones I've used :) )
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
UPDATE: The ROM itself is good and obviously has great potential, but I am having quite a few issues. It was suggested that System Tuner Pro would force open CPU 2 and give a boost, but it would not view my system as rooted,even after re-boots and permission fixes. 4EXT would freeze and FC in any operation, as would SD Speed Increase, Set CPU, and even Superuser. Font Installer didn't freeze the way some complained it did, but for me it would go through the required re-boot and have no change. Tried to backup with Clockworkmod (since 4EXT was failing), and the backup failed. SOooooo, in my opinion, it is good at this point for a daily user if you do JUST THAT, use it for common daily functions. But, for me at least, anything having to do with increasing performance or customization creates a problem. Not the end of the world, except that I'm a

customization junkie

, so its a bit of a deal breaker for me. One thing, a lot of people complained of wallpaper issues and failures; the DIY ownskin I was using had no issues. Then again, the wallpaper for the lockscreen DID fail. Oh well.... I know it'll get better. Restoring back for a while ....Mike 1986, RCMix, and all other hard working devs, keep up the good work, Getting better every day...
[HTC Sensation] BMP7777:
The last post was by no means any kind of a critique, I dabble but have no experience at this point as to what it takes to create these works, so I hope no one takes it as such. Just thought I would share my various experiences so others can gauge their own. I think that those who take the time to work these out are very talented and deserve praise regardless of glitches that happen without warning.
