I can just about get a day of use as well. Put it on airplane overnight so you don't lose that much battery. I think 4% is normal per hour. Some users have said that they lose 1% every 4 mins ! or somewhere along those lines.

I just hope Ice Cream Sandwich will fix the battery issues.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
ICS will likely have worse battery life, and some lag. I keep hearing people say their sgs 2 is faster than their galaxy nexus, despite the nexus having faster hardware. Slower software would mean the CPU is having to work a lot harder, resulting in higher battery usage.

Damn it ! what's the point of upgrading to ICS then ?

To make the UI look worse?

What was ever the point of upgrading to ICS?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
Actually it's hard to tell what effect ICS will have on battery life. The ui will be gpu accelerated which could mean less strain on the cpu. On the other hand it might simply require more juice in general. Guess we won't know really know until SE release it

Is there a difference charging via AC ( plug in mains ) or USB ( through laptop or PC ) ?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
The included wall charger is faster.

I've read on multiple sites that quicker charging increases battery life, but lessens the total number of charge cycles you get before it's unusable.

Sent from Asgard
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
I charge it mostly everyday. So you said unusable meaning you can't charge it anymore ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
Basically, let's say using a slow charger, you get 8 hours of use for the first 2 years. After that, you see a steep decline until the battery no longer works at all. With a faster charger, your battery lasts 12 hours a day, but your decline in battery life starts sooner, let's say 1.5 years.

These figures are in no way accurate, it's just for an example.

Best battery life ever but I deleted more bloat than what was listed in the safe removal thread. I use my phone like hell, I always have wi-fi on. And I play Asphalt 6 for like 2 hours and I text a lot and my brightness is always highest brightness and I still have above 30% by the end of the day. I leave my phone off over night so I wouldn't know about over night battery drain. I also use juice defender and rarely use data.

hi ALL , iam thinking of changing a new phone but i cant decide wether to buy the ace or xperia mini! as far as i know ace has bigger screen while mini has better power

my priority is

-speed

-screen

-camera

-video

-design

-COMMUNITY~!!

-price!

i love the ace's design but my friend thats using it hates the crap out of it ...the mini's design is bleh but it's specs sounds pretty darn good on paper ...

so any suggestions?

oh and what is the cheapest phone that can support miui rom?? i really want to have miui!
[General Questions and Answers] francois36boris:
Get a Galaxy S or a Nexus S. You can find the Galaxy for 300 bucks and the Nexus for 350 dollars. Both have a pretty big community support and nice hardware. Other than them the Xperia Mini Pro is pretty nice. And I wouldnt recommend the keyboard less mini
[General Questions and Answers] yngwin:
Of those two, the Xperia Mini is definitely better. It has a considerably faster processor (1GHz vs 800MHz) and a better pixel density (which means a sharper display). Both have the same crappy resolution though. You really should go for a phone with 480x800 at least, to get the most out of Android.
[General Questions and Answers] tohno:
oh ..so the mini should be better? cause it's a trade my w8 was faulty and my dad told the reailer he wanted to give back the phone and add RM200 while he give us a new model...i plan to root them and install roms on them..so we'll see =) buti think i will go mini since it's cheaper and bttter spec wise ..oh oh will these 2 phones go for miui??

No, MIUI is not available for either of them. Here is a list of available ports: http://roms.miui.us/ or the official one: http://www.miui.com/development.html
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
Ok so i backed up my tf using cwm and everything worked perfectly. When i try restoring the back up it first restores the system apps but then there is an error saying the is no .androidsecure file. And my tf wont boot up after. I then have to flash an old tf version for it start working again.

If anyone has a solution that would be great :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
It might not have anything to do with the 'error' which is maybe not an error, just an informational message from the "Froyo" days. This is all guesswork, but I seem to recall that .android_secure was for apps that were movable and moved to the sdcard. That just doesn't really make sense on the TF101 using Honeycomb, so if you don't have that folder (.android_secure), that that's cool.

Does the restore complete entirely aside from the message about .and* ?

Another thing I wonder about with cwm restores is the kernel. Did you have a working kernel in your tf101 before you got started with this restore? I'm not really seeing how it restores the kernel (boot.img/zImage/whatever) in this version of cwm. All I see saved is system.img, the md5sum, data.img and cache.img. My guess is that you might benefit by picking a kernel, like either the latest stock one or say, Prime's kernel, and burning that in afterward, clearing dalvik and rebooting again.

Note: It might be that everything needed is somehow in system.img and that cwm has the smarts to burn what it needs to the right places, but in every other version of cwm I've seen, there is a boot.img file in the cwm backup that contains the kernel.

If anyone knows how cwm is burning a blob for the kernel, I'd be curious to know how since I'm not looking at the code. Thanks.

Good luck
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
the restore doesnt completely restore.

It goes something like this....

System apps restore

I think another restore

Then the error

Restore cache

And then its done. It boots me up to an Asus image and wont go past.

These are the files in my cwm restore

Cache.img

Data.img

Nandroid.md5

System.img

Also i have stock kernel
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
So it sounds like the restore is completing with the message about the secure folder then dropping dead during the kernel load. If I understand you right, it sounds like you "had" a stock kernel when it was working, but I wonder if you've got any viable kernel right now?

Since your tf101 isn't working and is basically useless, you could try to boot back to cwm and burn some known working current kernel in there. I don't have the links right now to the stock one, but you could try a nearly stock one from the Prime ROM http://roach.qap.la/Roms/Prime_v2.0/OCKernel_Prime_v2.0.6.zip .

I don't know what his zip file looks like but at least it'll force the issue of burning a blob into the boot partition and you can tell if the kernel was the problem.

If that doesn't work, then your backup was possibly corrupted and I don't have a good answer other than to install either a stock image or one of the ROMs people use like Prime or Revolution and see how they do.

I'm also guessing that blowing a new image on there is a last resort because you had stuff setup the way you wanted it, but it's for you to decide that. You could search the forums for something that does some sort of integrity check on the cwm backups, or better yet, get in touch with Solarnz or Daoist via messages and ask their advice. They're experts here in cwm and I'm not.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafo5000:
I flashed another kernel but I still get the error when trying to restore. I've been searching around and I guess I'm missing the .android_secure file in the data.img. I just dont know how to fix it.

Hey all,

I'm not sure if this has already been posted. I just picked up the E4GT a few weeks ago and just started following the threads in xda. I found a thread where you could download the apk for hulu+ that supposedly works for the E4GT but I couldn't get it to work for myself. Then just playing around I got this to work...

1. Googled hulu with the standard browser

2. Selected Hulu Plus - Apps on Android Market

3. Complete action using... Internet

4. Selected install

5. Selected sign in

6. Complete action using Market

7. Accept & download - and you have it...

Android market says "Your device isn't compatible with this item" but it works perfectly fine for me. I'm not rooted or anything... completely stock. Thought I'd pass it on. Good luck.

Google stock images come in tar format. You just have to unzip it to a zip format, then use fastboot to update it to your phone. Just use 7-zip on your computer.

Hello all!

I have a Nokia Lumia 800 and I found that with direct access "Internet Sharing" of "Supreme Shorcut" you can access at the Nokia option (Internet Sharing) that is not available from the original menu.

Anybody can try this too?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
The feature is available on any Mango device, even those where it is hidden. The problem is that you cannot enable it in some situations, where restricted by the carrier.

My phone is unbranded device and is up to date.... and the option don't appear at the setting.

FW Rev.: 1600.2479.7740.11451
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZeBond:
Exactly. Currently we do not have an interop unlock (working on it) for Lumia 800, so we cannot enable this capability unless it it provided by your carrier.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jesuslg123:
So the only way to access to Internet sharing is with Supreme Shorcut in a unbranded Nokia Lumia 800?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Just because you can access the UI to enable the option doesn't mean that enabling it will work (and the OP doesn't say that it works).

It *is* odd that an open-market phone wouldn't allow it, though.

I have tried all 3 and love them all, and they get regular updates. But at the end of the day, it's all down to personal opinion.

So just try a few different roms until you find one you like.

If you do a Nandroid backup (which you should always do anyway), you can always revert to your previous rom, if you don't like it.

a few days ago i flashed Steves kernel for the us yp-g1 and everything was fine until i went into cm recovery, after that i got stuck in a boot-loop. i accidentally flashed a Korean rom trying to get out of the loop. from there the power button and capacitive buttons became useless, and was not able to get to download mode to re-flash. i got a jig and now i am able to get back to download mode but the problem now is after flashing a us rom the touch screen and capacitive buttons will not respond. I'm not sure of this but i thing the Korean rom overwrote the code for the hardware to know how to use the touchscreen, power button and capacitive buttons and when i flashed back to the us rom it never fixed the instructions.

can some please give me a direction to take this so i wont be left with a $220 brick?
