[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] magoo304:
Sorry if this has been posted. I have been looking through post for 2 days now about rooting and stopping OTA's. I am not sure if I am coming or going. I think I have the root part and the stop OTA's part but....

1) how do I get Titanium Backup on to the NT? I tried from the SD card and got install blocked , for security reasons ....... , through downloading it get a parse error on install, and through gmail and opening it up in the nook get a parse error also. I also con not get into the hidden settings either.

2) Do I need to get the NT back to version 1.4.0 first??

Thanks for your help!!!!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So you're trying to root, and you're on 1.4.1? If so, you need to go back to 1.4.0.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] magoo304:
That's what I thought. I am already down loading AdamOutler's "Magic SDCard".

That file is HUGE. 260 Megs on satellite takes hours. My phone is 3G so it isn't much faster. Well tomorrow after work will do a factory reset then the restore to 1.4.0 then root it then stop the OTA's The NT is actually my wife's. I told her no more toys after this. LOL Her motorcycle I could handle but all this restoring and rooting is making me grey ( well greyer LOL)

One more thing. Does the SD card need to be empty? It is a 1 gig that was in the NT so it has the folders that the Nook puts on it.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
While I appreciate the offer, it's really not any more than theming and modifying the installed apps of the stock ROM, not an actual custom ROM. Now a port of 2.3.4 or ICS to our locked phones would be cool.

Right now I'm running the ICS theme with ADW using the ICS theme for it as well. With V6 Supercharger script and Kieran's tweaks, my Play is rocking sweet. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
What I meant to say was IF it's not anything more than theming... Funny how that one little missing word changes the meaning. That's what I get for texting replies after working 3rd shift and no sleep. I'm going to bed now before I post any more gibberish. :blush:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
It would be cool and also impossible, as your bootloaders are locked, you are unable to flash kernels, and ICS will not boot on a GB kernel.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioo7:
I would like for the R800x to focus on gaming, I don't mined if i only had one screen, have launcherpro'ish options for cool customization. Make it so games and emulators get full power or even more( if possible on locked bootloader). then the rest like sound(EQ), camera(and all that apply.), and then all the other goodies that make it a phone. I'm more into the art side of computers, I wish i new how to program for this thing I would love to help. overall FAST and STABLE. I know that sounds easier than it is. Hope for the best. Cola6 is kinda close but i still want all my games. Don't care for the other stuff.

This is for those achieving awesome battery life as it can help those who aren't. Please post what you did to get this much battery, how many hours you get out of it, and how much use it. I'll start:

About 11 hrs a day with moderate using...

Quicksense v3.0

Faux kernel v007

Baseband .07D

Oc/Uv using faux clock and system tuner (not posting values yet as I have not found a stable setting.) Maybe others can help me with this.

Acesoft 3.7 v 2010 ma battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ajbk4life1:
This is on stock battery using quicksense 3.0
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Wow that's good. But could you post more info when you get a chance. How did you get that much and how much did you use it? Light user, moderate, or heavy user? Thanks in advanced!
[HTC Amaze 4G] ajbk4life1:
i used it moderately. only about 5 hours in wifi. some web browsing here and there and using twitter all day
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Wow that's awesome!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Lunaillij:
View attachment 840237

-Using quiksense v3

-moderate use (games , talk, browse the Web, etc.)

-mostly on wifi.

-Using recommended kernel from OP of quiksense

- use screen filter app. disabled the LED buttons. when home, set screen to 50%. when I'm out I set the screen to 75%:

- Recorded video and took pictures (have a 1 year old son)

I used to only get about 8-10 hours on the previous version of quiksense. but when I updated to v3, I ran the battery collaboration when the battery was 100%. But I left it in the charger for another hour before I unplugged it.

I digg my new battery life.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I am using the stock battery.
[HTC Amaze 4G] DevinQuigley:
Nice

Good battery life!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
I think im going to do the battery calibration then cuz i didnt think i would have to do that when i updated to v3.0 quicksense. but now that bulletproof is coming out im going to wait for that instead. I might disable LED buttons as well..Does screen filter app really work? From what i heard was that it just shadows the brightness but it doesnt lower the actual brightness from android.

Great job, this is what im talking about. I think many others will benefit.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mapleleafs89:
Well, you can still turn off the backlight for the buttons (to help with screen bleeding) but I suppose it would save a bit of battery as well. Not sure about the shadowing part as I strictly use it to disable the button backlight.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
I don't have a screenshot but I get about 20-24 hours on the stock battery. On a good day I play about an hour of music, talk for hours, Facebook about an hours worth, get about 60-100 or more work emails a day (I've set up my work POP account through gmail so phone doesn't pull emails), play about half hour worth of games, take a few pictures and about thirty minutes using Pulse to read news. Text a lot.

I'm using Fourth Bar Sense (loving it) with Faux v007 kernel and system tuner to OC.

*I have two gmail accounts with one account only syncing emails (work)

*Facebook only sync contacts and calendar once per day and I turned off notifications

*Turned off automatic time update from network

*turned off flip for speaker, pocket ring and lower ring when picked up (not sure how it's phrased in settings)

*turned off phone locator. I use where's my Droid

*I don't have Google backing up my phone. I use titanium backup

*I use accuweather from beautiful widgets and it updates every two hours

*use elixir toggle to control brightness and set to 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. 10% I use at night or in dark rooms (don't want to go blind with a bright screen) 25% indoors and 50% or 75% outdoors (75% of I have my sunglasses on)

*Like Lunajilli, I calibrated my battery too by letting it charge over night, wipe battery stats in recovery (charger still plugged in) and rebooting. After that, I unplug and let the phone die. Then charge interrupted over night. I calibrate every time I do a full wipe for a new ROM

Hope this helps
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
And forgot to mention, I have my network set to 4g only so my CPU isn't used to scan the networks when 4g is poor (I live in LA so coverage for 4g is good).
[HTC Amaze 4G] mapleleafs89:
For some reason it was on awake when the screen was off for hours after downloading a bunch of apps. I suspect it would have lasted longer otherwise. At the end it drained 20 percent in 5 hours on idle while I slept.

Anyways, moderate use, downloading apps from marketplace mostly l, checking email, and texting.

Quiksense 3.0, with recommended kernel.
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
All this on 4g! :o So let's say I'm throttled should I switch to only gsm to save battery since you get the same speeds when your throttled.

Trust me everyone's info is helping! I'm gathering all this info and trying it out. And i thought I was moderate user. The way you guys use the phone I'd be getting 6 hrs most.

Also noticed that being on wifi makes a difference when saving battery. As for my soft keys I flashed the crt enabler since I know it turns them off and I don't need them.

Anyone who is oc/uv, can you post your settings I'd also like to try that until i find the best settings thank you
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
If you change your network settings to just GMS only then it should save you even more juice than the 4g setting. But the main idea behind this is to minimize CPU usage by not allowing your phone to constantly scan for the best available signal. GMS only is a cherry on top :)

Wifi helps save juice for me too because wifi calling turns off the mobile network saving power.

I'm not O/C anymore because my phone is more stable that way plus it's already fast as is. Though, I'm not noticing much of a difference in battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mapleleafs89:
What is the 'Awake' exactly? For some reason, my battery normally drains ~3% when I leave it on while I sleep, and usually only shows awake when I have the screen on.

For some reason it was on awake all night, screen off, and battery drained ~30%.

Also killed all tasks in the built in task killer and didn't help although I dont think that shows any background tasks..
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
Hmm, what do you have syncing in the background? If you're on one of x's roms I believe the Facebook live sync is always on so make sure that's off, if it isn't already.

An issue I had with the Sensation was that the automatic time & date update via phone network kept the phone awake so I turned that off. I did the same thing for my Amaze and the phone sleeps. If this doesn't help your awake issue at least it will help save some battery life since your phone won't be using the CPU to sync to update the time.
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
It is crazy how much difference automatic time/date seems to make, but I have been doing this for a while now.

Do you know that "flip for speaker, pocket ring and lower ring when picked up" use extra power, or just assuming? I would think it just works off the proximity sensor.. Oh, and if you don't need it, you can also turn off network location and just turn on GPS as needed, that keeps apps that ask for location data from draining, seems to be a bit helpful.

Also, some roms by other devs will copy your battery stats file(before wiping), flash the rom, then copy it back.. this seems to keep you from doing having to recalibrate after flashing each rom. When a rom doesn't include this I would copy manually, flash the rom, copy it back manually(or push the file while in recovery with adb), then reboot- gave me better results. I was trying to find the last rom I used that did it, to see if I could give the code to xboarder- it is a nice extra feature
[HTC Amaze 4G] stixzadinya:
I don't have any hard evidence to support my claim but I try to turn off any unnecessary options that uses cpu or any other sensor to function. The Flip for Speaker, Pocket Rick and Lower Ring When Picked Up are unnecessary for me so I turn them off. I started doing this when I had the Sensation but before I do I used to get crap battery life. After I made the changes I've listed, including turning these features off, my battery life was much improved. So I now do the same thing for my Amaze and get over 20+ hours. Anyways, turning these features off are just a piece of the puzzle I use to help save battery life.

I haven't tried turning off network location yet but I see how that would also help save battery life.

I'll have to look more into copying battery stats. I didn't know I could do that. Thanks for the tip!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
please do look into copying battery stats and post your results as we can all benefit from this. How do you even copy battery stats? Is it a complicated thing not for noobs.
[HTC Amaze 4G] the_duck:
After a full day I still have 40% left, light use.

Constantly on wi-fi when available (do not allow to sleep), pm disabled a ton of packages through ADB and screen is set to 40% too.

Overall very happy with battery life.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HumanXv2:
Mine did that me last night while I was flashing. It went down to about 11% rebooted and it was 69%
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
That is a clockwork/battery stats bug. Don't reboot without plugging into a charger below 50%. If you pull the battery and wait a few minutes and put it back in and boot it will go back to where it was.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
The guy above was @ 70% and dropped to 11%.

And after 5 mins I went from 9% to 26%. I didn't go back to where I was. Anyways That bug should be fixed then haha its quite annoying
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigdreco:
mines do it ALL the time.. I can be at like 60 something percent and then I will hear the warning message that my battery is under 15 percent..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shane_huskey:
Because with all of the current slang, it is impossible to say hardly anything without children being able to urbanize it. The only solution is to use language as it is meant to be used and ignore the ignorance than can be superimposed on it. Maguro is sashimi, any slang use of the word is just slang.

They could choose anything out there other than sushi. You have to remember even though Google and Apple are at war The two top dogs were and still friends. Like with any friendship out there you will have rough patches.
