This may be off topic, im not sure..still a bit tired from working till 3 AM lol, but do u guys all live in an area blanketed with LTE or not? The reason I ask this is because I think this is one of the primary reason for our phone draining battery really fast. I believe that when the phone is searching for an LTE connection and can't connect to one, it waste much more battery doing so than when it is actually connected to one.

I live in northern jersey, where most of the area is not covered by LTE yet. I work in NY however and most of the area is already under LTE coverage. I notice that I waste much more battery in NJ than when I am in NY at work. Im not saying that with LTE connected I am saving 20-30% more battery, but I can say that I see the percentage drop slower than when it's searching for one.

We really need to somehow be able to turn off LTE when we don't need it or not in range of it. I believe we can save more battery by turning it off, just like in Verizon's phones.
[LG Nitro HD] theoski:
I live in an area of good LTE coverage speeds from 25 to 50 down and the battery still drains giving tops of 4.5 hours of heavy use. Although when the screen is off the baterry drains is less noticeable so the drain is somewhere between LTE and IPS screen.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Well, considering this file is what I think it is, the radio scanning consumes 7.9 points, so yes, it would make sense if it drains additional battery.
[LG Nitro HD] aquariuz23:
wait, GPS on uses over 100 points??? Isnt dat kinda high?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
is that the code that generates the details for this?
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
By GPS on, I think it means, when the GPS is being used (when the icon appears in the top bar) not when the setting is enabled.

so i was playing with my friends s2 which is on sprint and he has a 3g/4g toggle. is it possible to do this on ATT? is it possible to run sprint roms on the att version?

i would love to be able to move data to 3g/edge while i am not really using the phone and this can save me tons of battery.

if someone knows please help.

also, ive tried the manual mode but it doesnt let me select other options in network settings.

Please do not even think about trying.to put a epic 4g touch rom on the skyrocket. Or anyother phones rom. Do not flash anything other then skyrocket. , and tmobile galaxy s2 roms on your phone or you will brick it. And no there is no toggle to turn off lte. You can edit the apn settings so it will not use lte. A quick search will explain how u can do that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robinsonj:
Not sure about AT&T but the Rogers ROM has a fairly quick way to switch... In Settings-Wireless and Network-Mobile Networks, there is "Network Mode" which allows you to pick from GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto mode), GSM/HSPA (Auto mode), GSM only, or HSPA only... I switch it to the GSM/HSPA (Auto mode) when I am not in Ottawa (no LTE in Deep River) and it saves a fair bit of battery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] markapowell:
3g or 4g, with no LTE would be stellar. It would get me more play time on Pandora and Tunein. I use Nav and Tunein, when I am on the road, and use a 1Mah charger, and it's a very slow and steady drain, I suspect when I am in and around home, St. Louis, I am running LTE and eating battery.

I suppose if I have to have LTE constantly, another option would be better pricing structure. Maybe 5gigs for 30 a month, or unlimited again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Some GB custom ROMs allow the network switch with AT&T, but settings don't stick after reboot. The dialer code will only work on a per-call basis. However, someone in the "throttled... solved" thread posted something similar to what norbarb is saying about removing the sim card while on ICS with more exact instructions. We need some idio....I mean "a brave tester" to try it out and see if it works or not. :D

not some, pretty much all. I don't see whynu would need the to persist at reboot anyway, thats the whole purpose of a toggle. U can set GSM/hspa only and reboot and it sticks under mobile network settings, or even GSM only if u want something that persists. The toggle is only made for on the fly changes

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
That's partially correct, but you need to ensure (at least) two things.

1. That the "detector" you're using is not moving around!

2. That the database you're comparing with have not already been corrupted.

Therefore, you can (and should use a database), but you need a much more advanced algorithm for determining when and how this BTS appeared combined with other criteria.

in 97%+ of real cases, an IMSI catcher would be in operation for a short while only. this change should be detectable by comparing cell IDs and such of some area in a town, which hardly changes over time.

On an i9000 the code to access the engineering menu (*#197328640# in Dialer) worked – I’m assuming it’s standard across all recent Samsungs, not just the Galaxy S series.

Menu 1,8,3,1 displays the current ciphering status, i.e. whether or not your current call is currently encrypted.

Right, and that's why I have been trying to reverse engineer the Service Mode application, to find out where all that info is coming from, including other parts needed from that app. But I'm new to all this Android stuff, so...

I just updated original post #2 with the procedure for finding out if the ciphering indicator is enabled/disabled on your SIM card.

quite some number of xda members have found their entry "Ciphering" ON/OFF in the engineering menu of their phones, e.g. Galaxies. But I didnt come across a reliable report of success.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] E:V:A:
Hi, Sorry for late reply. You have a GT-S5360 (FCC ID: a3lgts5360), but these come in several different versions. What baseband processor is this using? If it's a X-GOLD-based one (XMM 6x60), the command above should work. If on the other you have some other modem, like Qualcomm etc, there is no telling what would happen, even though the +CRSM is a GPP 27.00x "standard". What error do you get, and how do you connect to your phone? (I.e. Make sure you're actually talking to your phone modem and not to some other internal modem device in your PC.)

Also, like I already mentioned in #2:

1) the bit is not changeable on most SIM cards.

2) the actual ServiceMode menu functionality is contained in the Baseband firmware on X-GOLD, for Qualcomm, I don't know, even if it available.

Has anyone found a good bible app for the nook touch? I tried the most popular bible app, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sirma.mobile.bible.android, but it is awful for the nook. Page turning doesn't work, and scrolling hardly works at all (it sometimes scrolls the opposite way I tell it to). It has support for offline reading, but you have to have an SD card for the download, with no way of using internal memory.

For the offline bit, I've thought about symlinking the sdcard directory for the app to internal storage, but I haven't actually gotten around to trying it out. And with the reading issues I've had with it otherwise, I'd rather find a better app.

Please let me know if any have page turning abilities, and bonus if it can be used offline. Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] jworth21:
It's not an app, but I downloaded the epub King James Version from Gutenberg. It's not the best in terms of search, goto, etc, but it's not bad and it's free, complete, and, as you say, off line.
[Nook Touch General] Musulsa:
The free ESV Bible app (by Crossway) works well with the hardkeys and downloads the text to your device so that it works offline. Obviously, it is less useful if you don't prefer the ESV translation. As the ESV is my preferred translation, it works out perfectly for me.

YouVersion Bible app

There is the YouVersion Bible app, and it has practicability every translation and version that there is. It Works with the NST very nicely. There is NLT, NIV, KJV, NKJV, CSB, MET and so many others.

YouVersion is the one with which I started out and had troubles. Glad it works for you, though.
[Nook Touch General] sayno2quat:
I ended up trying this one out, and I love it!

One issue with it though: it never seems to do a full page refresh. So after a while, the screen accumulates a lot of artifacts.
[Nook Touch General] ZenoGia:
I feel the best bible app ever would be The New Living Word (Nlt) as it is derived originally from the dead sea scrolls and translated from that to modern English and NOT from the KJV. I have used many versions and this one from Tyndale is quite amazing. If your using android try olivetree bible reader and download the Nlt version.
[Nook Touch General] Musulsa:
Unfortunately this is factually incorrect.

The NLT (New Living Translation) is closer to a dynamic paraphrase than a strict translation and while I often recommend it as a very good supplementary version I would recommend against relying on it as a standalone or primary version.

"it is derived originally from the dead sea scrolls and translated from that to modern English"

Not only is this claim not true of the NLT version, it is not true of any version. Beyond that, it is not possible to be true for any version.

This is because the Dead Sea scrolls are not actually complete scrolls but fragments of scrolls. They contain only fragments of most of the Old Testament books along with other writings. Also, notably, the book of Esther is not found among the DSS fragments.

(I say this from first hand study as I own and have studied several of the various available versions of the DSS as part of my studies) Since not even the Old Testament is complete in the DSS fragments, it is impossible to have a modern bible based on the DSS. This is skipping the fact that the DSS does not contain ANY of the New Testament at all.

Also, since the DSS were discovered in the 1940's, every single modern English translation team since that time(NIV 1984 and 2011 versions, ESV 2004, 2007, 2011 versions, NASB 1995, etc) has been aware of, and has consulted the available DSS manuscripts where possible along with the Masoretic texts, the LXX, and the various Targums as they continually update their texts. The NLT is by no means unique in this at all.

I would recommend a more literal translation as a good primary or base translation (I strongly recommend the ESV or NASB).

You version is great! It is OK for me on the nook st, but not great (flashing page turns).

The New World Translation is also available in epub format: http://jw.org/index.html?option=QrYQCsVrGlVlYR

The table of contents is formatted pretty nicely, with Bible Books on the first page, linking to a full chapter/verse list that then links to the exact verse, so if you're trying to get to an exact verse, it's usually just a few "clicks"

And if you can't remember exactly what you're looking for, there's also an alphabetical index of key words/phrases in the back.

And should you need it for any reason: Finnish, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Sesotho, Spanish, Swedish, and Zulu versions are also available in epub.

Well, it's because navigating the book is much more part of the reading than with more casual reading. Also, swapping translations is often part of bible reading and normal document reading software does not make this easy.

I didn't see anyone mention Calibre Bible, which I use extensively. Load the app, then let it load your favorite translation(s) for use offline.

The problem seems to only occur once you scroll in a text area. There after its contents are not updated.

I use Olive Tree's Bible study app. However, the newest version did not work for me on my NST Glowlight.

(Sorry I am not yet permitted to post outside links)

They have some free Bibles and some (like NIV, NRSV, etc.) that cost a few bucks. They have been around a long time, so if you, like me, have been using this app for ten years or more (started with it on my Palm Zire), you can use the Bibles you purchased long ago.
