[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joemm:
Recently used apps......????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasontx:
That is the dock screen, comes up when your phone is docked. Pretty sure it's magnetically triggered or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericcarboni:
It's the 'Desk Clock' tab in the stock Clock app. Not sure why it would be opening every time you press home. I think it does open when attached to a desk dock, but I'm not sure.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I do wish ASUS would get the colors right... Following 9.4.2.11, my colors are very blown out when in Balanced or Performance modes. Oddly enough, they seem richer now in Battery Saver mode. When I say "blown out," I mean that they're way over saturated and significant detail is lost. It's particularly noticeable in complex wallpaper.

Anybody else?

Update: okay, shut down and rebooted, and now colors act like they did prior to the .33 update. Switching to Power Saver mode reduces color quality, and put it into Balanced or Normal and it improves colors again. It goes through a few steps, but eventually settles on what seem to be very good colors overall.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Nope haven't noticed any difference in colors or details. Still looks great.

makes me think though vvvvvvv

lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
Okay, I'll update the original post. I shut down and restarted, and now color performance is where it was prior to the .33 update.

Weird.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Mine was bad, I returned it and got a new one and they still look the same.. Colors on my thunderbolt look a lot better and richer
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] murgo:
damn.. that sucks. my new one is arriving tomorrow. i hope the colors are better :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
As an update, I compared my Prime's screen to my original Transformer's. Colors on the Prime in Balanced/Performance modes are better--seem more natural (the Transformer is colder), and richer. I'm talking here about things like very complex and colorful wallpaper and such. UI color does seem a little better as well than with the previous ICS build, but I'm going from memory on that one.

That was definitely a nice little glitch right after the update where colors were messed up. The reboot fixed it, however. I'll add that there's definitely a lot of switching going on that causes an occasional flicker. Doesn't bother me too much, but I do look forward to ASUS and Nvidia getting this Tegra 3 display power stuff worked out.
[HTC EVO 3D] iconias:
Im new to this device and have some problems, I thought removing stock might help, so I've started using Leeroid newest rom but the problems are still there....

- The battery drains quickly, there are on average about 80 task running in background. My last ZTE phone had on average 17 tasks in background. I think this is all because of sense...how do I stop this awfull battery guzzler...?

- I cant find the wifi sleep in standby option, closest thing is the 15 minute shut off option, not good enough... where is the wifi sleep in standby option?

- 3D pictures I take with Amaze Camera are out of sync and shadowing when I look at them in gallery, what am I doing wrong? The stock rom had no problems...

- The battery needs about 2,5 hours for a full charge, my zte skate did a full charge in about 45 minutes...

- The screen 960x540 is good, but everything is tiny specialy the text, how can I increase the text dpi to make the text bigger? In windows I can increase dpi in screen settings, is that available here?
[HTC EVO 3D] msimindlessmsi2:
Look up density changer on the market. It will make your text bigger.

Why not just turn wifi off when you are not using it?

The battery in this phone does take a lot longer to charge compared to my EVO. I dunno why though.

Sent from my 3D using InfectedRom Eternity.
[HTC EVO 3D] iconias:
Thanks, dpi changer was a good tip, I've increased from standard 240 dpi to 280. That's much easier on my eyes.

There is a wifi off in standby option on all android phones I've used, why doesn't sense have one?

I took the phone off charge a little over an hour ago and I'm already down to 83% just by having sense running with wifi and about 80 task in the background....I'm going to have to get rid of sense, it's ****e...

I need a stock android rom with no sense, I don't need any of the sense stuff...
[HTC EVO 3D] whiplash353:
woah dont blame sense because i easily can get 15 hours off my battery and i have never had close to 80 app in background thats unheard of sense dosent have that many apps in the background i just checked there was actually nothing from sense in there check what apps you have installed and last i checked wi-fi saved battery
[HTC EVO 3D] fade2black101:
You should download the free juicedefender or purchase juicedefender ultimate from the market. In there you can tweak settings to disable wifi + data on screen off, as well as many other things. I'd strongly recommend it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
you most deff have a rogue app there chewing your battery down big time. When you say you have 80 tasks running in the background, how are you checking this exactly?

JuiceDefender is not really needed for task killing as android has improved huge in this area and manages things very well. Most of the time users have things like facebook and such set to sync automatically and then claim gains with JD when they block facebook(and others) from syncing except for only X times a day, which 99% time is an option to set in the actual app in question itself anyway.

SystemPanelPro is one of my favorite apps as I run the monitor service in it to better get a pure objective opinion on battery usage as it shows you exactly which things are eating away at the battery right down to the process itself.
[HTC EVO 3D] EliWay:
You can have 500 tasks in the background and not have any battery drain. Apps are cached and dormant in the background , saving CPU cycles to reopen it and thus actually saving battery. You could be seeing way more apps cached than your old ZTE, because, well, the 3D has way more ram!

Usually its one app thats draining your battery , and most of the time its apps that have push notifications that are not from Google or have a ridiculous default poll time (Like tweetcaster checking tweets every 5 minutes and words with friends checking for new moves every 5 minutes as well). Go through your apps and check poll times.

Wifi should be on if you have access to a good connection, even when the screen turns off. Whenever you turn your screen on, your wifi chip has to wake up, scan, handshake, connect, and restablish connection with all your apps and services... Costs a TON of battery, especially if you are always turning on your screen even to check the time.

And Sense 3.0 roms have the reputation of being very good on the battery, better than any AOSP rom by far.. especially the latest official rom and radio update.. people have nothing but praise about battery life.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
-Phone has big battery 1730mAh I think. Your old one was 1420mAh (about 20% smaller) at most that is why it takes longer.

-Usually if my 3D get out of sync (don't know why) I reboot and the problem goes away.

-Use SpareParts+ for Wifi sleep
[HTC EVO 3D] Chuki82:
Phone doesn't charge all that fast because while charging the phone doesn't sleep.
[HTC EVO 3D] iconias:
I'll try the wifi off in standby with spare parts plus, thanks for the tip..

Actualy the 3D pictures were fine afer a reboot like you said.

Leeroid was eating up my battery so I'm trying the king cobra rom. Not sure it's placebo, the battery indicator hasn't been going down so fast in cobra...

There's a stock android rom without any trace of sense here in the forum somewhere. I might try that too

I use quick system info, when I clear memory it say I have on average 80 tasks running, after an hour I do the same and again it closes 50 tasks!! I have the same apps I had running on my skate so that is why I know sense's the coulprit.

When I wipred the memory with quick info on my skate with cm7 I only had on average 17 tasks closed...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Sense has a lot of "processes" running but they are not "killing" the battery like you described.

Also like the other poster said, if your in WiFi area leave it ON ALL THE TIME when you can connect to it. its much better than having the radio on 3G all the time, and also if you only have it sleeping in standby like they said you kill the battery everytime you wake the phone up b/c itll try to connect agian as opposed to being connected to it all the time.

I'd look at getting SystemPanelPro and turn on monitoring. its very valuable in the long run as it is not a task killer but also allows you to catch rogue apps if you ever do have questions about battery. Anytime I have battery questions I just turn the monitoring service back on in it and then check the phone at the end of the day to see if there were any apps stuck hogging data or something like that.
[HTC EVO 3D] iconias:
you hit it on the head.... why doesnt the phone sleep in standby? sense?

I've been using stock android with no eye candy for over a year...screen goes out, phone shuts down into standby for 10 days no probs...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
As stated before it does sleep and does so fine. you have a rogue app or something else killing the battery like poor signal. I can put the phone in standby and last forever sleeps fine.

you have something likely set to sync often thats killing it in the way you describe.
[HTC EVO 3D] eddiewaynec:
It is not Sense. I have only ever had HTC Sense phones, and all of them had better battery life then AOSP ROMs, unless the AOSP ROM had almost everything removed and I went anal about data usage. As everyone else has stated, especially with this new OTA, it is a rogue app. Check all your games and apps that use data. I have 19 hours up, 11 hours awake, with roughly 8 hours of those in use and I still have 40 percent battery left. Not to mention I have 14 current running processes and 46 cached apps. HTC did an amazing job with this update, please don't blame them. Listen to those of us who have been using Sense since the Sprint Hero and check your app's!

EDIT: Not cached apps, but cached processes.
[HTC EVO 3D] ssojyeti2:
To save a little battery, you can go to mobile network settings and uncheck mobile network always on.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
Wait what? How long was your screen on for? If you meant screen on for 8 hours your speaking bull****. leaving the screen on lowest brightness and no sim card or mobile network on the phones battery only lasts 6 hours. (ive tried this...)
[HTC EVO 3D] eddiewaynec:
I didn't say the screen was on. I consider downloading full seasons of the Desperate Housewives over WiFi with the screen off "in use." My screen was on for a decent 3 hours today, while downloading the show and doing plenty of other useless things :-) I have already plugged my phone up for the night, so any info I get now will be tampered. But tomorrow I will get some screenies. I wish I could use it with the screen on for 8 hours. I would kiss HTCs feet LOL.

Karoges is harmless and it's a fault in the market.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongimin2:
This is a relatively new exploit. You need to wipe the whole thing and reinstall ROM or at least delete the system video player and reinstall it with the fresh one.

It is harmless.

As i mentioned in my 1st post.... i reflash couple of times... though i successfully remove the KAROGES by deleting the stock video player...

Could you please guide me HOW TO COMPLETELY WIPE THE SYSTEM ? - So that nothing left there from past installations...

Its look like that i missing something in wiping.....

[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
This is probably the wrong place to ask since most people have the a500, but what would you buy if it was for the a500? I think I might give up on the a500. I love it for the hardware you get for the money, but this wifi issue is killing me.

The wifi strength (or lack thereof) is ridiculous. I am sitting like 10 feet in front of my access point and it gets 25db less than my phone does in the same spot. My wife keeps bugging me to get the ipad and I really hate to even think about it, but I am not sure what else to do. The tablet is useless if it can't pick up wifi. I have until Feb 22nd to return it.

Thoughts?
[Acer Iconia A500] Crocketeer:
Wifi issue? I guess I haven't read into the forums too much, since I just got mine a couple weeks ago, but I know my connection is nice and strong.

If I didn't get the a500, my other two choices would've been the Toshiba Thrive, or the Asus Transformer. I was leaning more towards the a500 or Thrive though, due to the full USB port.
[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
I think it is pretty widely known that the signal strength in the a500 is poor at best. There is even a thread in this section about modifying it with a new antenna to try and help. 25dB difference in signal strength is HUGE, my phone should not be that much better than the a500.
[Acer Iconia A500] ktmdave7:
I love the A500, I would have got the 32GB internal (but i got great deal of 16gb for $300 on Black Friday) I Herd of 8GB going for $229 about 4 weeks ago (can't argu with price) especially when you can buy a 32Gb SDCard and tweak it into internal memory (from another xda thread)

MAIN Reason why I bought mine was Real USB port, i liked ASUS (but no USB port turned me off) I read many reviews and after owning, wouldn't change a thing. Currently $349 for 16gb and $399 for 32GB. I'd buy the 32GB if i had a choice.

I don't ever have probs with Wi-fi at home, or Finding a hotspot on the road from my Rooted Phone.

maybe if you have the 16GB model, turn it in for 32GB version before January 22, and get another 15 or 30 days to make your best decision. (if you feel pressured)

just my opinion. GL
[Acer Iconia A500] dr.m0x:
I had an Asus Transformer, they are nice tablets and you can get a dongle which plugs to the proprietary docking port to give you USB. I sold mine because I got such of waiting for someone to root the newer firmware. Four months on and it still doesn't seem to have happened. If you hunt around and make sure you get serial number b60 and below root is straightforward.

If you don't care about root you can obviously buy anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] kylec:
My second choice was the galaxy tab, but I preferred the feel of the a500.

I have no issue with wifi. Signal is good and strong all over my house. And even outside the house
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Next best choice, a701.

Wifi has worked remarkably well. Internal 3g is solid. Probably the most all around tab.

And these tabs can take some abuse. 350+ flashings, patches, update flashes, testings. And yet, not once has it ever done anything worse than a common bootloop during testing.

Several times every day, -10c to +25, and immediately it turns on. Who can ask for more.

I wonder, can the others live up to that?
[Acer Iconia A500] oddmidge:
Mine would of been the Transformer, because it was the only tab i had close to me in the the same price range. I would also like something with 3g, but my phone has a WiFi hotspot so that isn't a problem anymore.

My WiFi works fine, maybe its an issue on some models and not all. I've never had a problem with my Acer ( i don't use it that much because my desktop is right in front of me.)
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
One has to love the full size USB.

And always, the cost to performance ratio.

$395 for a501. $350 for a500.

The 501 is my primary office machine right now. 85%
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
I have had every tab except the Samsung 10.1 8.9 and Sony S because lack of HDMI or SD card. I don't think the USB is a real deal breaker unless you use it daily or even weekly. We use it to transfer work files 1 time per month, but could easily plug the iconia into the computer instead of the USB to get the files we need. Or if you use wireless keyboard mouse that uses a dongle then the USB is useful. So with that said I would easily go for a tab that gets timely updates, unlocked, with a huge developer community. So XOOM, Xoom Family Edition (not unlocked but will get timely updates), Transformer (updated all the time Asus is standing behind its movement), Transformer Prime (will be relevant for awhile), Samsung 8.9 and 10.1 (awesome development community but lacks the ports we are used to), Archos 8 ( great hardware and media). No Thrive because its dead, big , and ugly.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Or you could buy an iPad. Everything you could ever imagine, all in one extremely thin.... display. ;) Never worry about anything. Take what is given. Expect nothing.

Asus support, well, given their latest offering already fubarred from the start (TRNSFR P). Samsung,,, another situation in itself. Nothing like using extra apps to do what one app could've done. And like you said, NOBODY wants to port a Samsung....
[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
Thanks for the input. I wouldn't be opposed trying another a500 but unfortunately where I got it they don't carry it anymore. Decisions, decisions.....
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
True. The I pad is solid, but I pad 3 will be out in March
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Throw that Iconia in the garbage. And jump right on that 3,4, or 5, 6 or 7pad.

Just don't come back here. You will get no symphathy.

Sorry, we are a little territorial.
[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
I would really like to avoid going the iPad route because I really do think it is a waste of money compared to what else is out there in the android world. I got the a500 at a steal of a price too because of a price mistake on Thanksgiving so I would hate to have to give this up, but the poor wifi is REALLY bothering me. When I go to my in-laws, I can barely use the tablet because it doesn't get signal most places in their small home.
[Acer Iconia A500] internetpilot:
At the time that I bought the A500, I was choosing between it and a refurbed original iPad. Since I had an Android phone, I really wanted an Android tablet, but I really didn't like any other Android tablet out at the time. After buying my kids Nook Colors for Christmas, I probably would've added the Nook Color to my decision making process if I had known more about it back then, but although the Nook Color makes a great, inexpensive tablet solution, it doesn't really compare to the A500.

I had significant problems getting my oldest son's original iPad connected to my home network -- EVERYTHING else connects to it just fine, and I'm a career network engineer (retired) so I'm not exactly stupid on the subject. All the "tech" advice I got from Apple zealots was that I needed to get a genuine Apple branded router to solve the problem (NOT in this house, baby!). I even had a few problems getting the daughter's new iPad2 connected. In other words, your wifi problems aren't going to necessarily go away by going iPad -- they may actually get worse.

All that being said, I'm simply not seeing a wifi problem with my A500. The only thing I've noticed is that with the HC 3.2.1 update, wifi seems to give up quicker when nothing is in range, but I'm looking at that as a battery saving feature rather than a problem. Prior versions of HC would always continue to hammer the wifi radio looking for an AP, significantly draining the battery. I've discussed this elsewhere in other threads, and it would seem that A500 owners are each getting rather different experiences with wifi. I think we're looking at a hardware variance here (both internal to the A500 as well as network hardware each owner is using).
[Acer Iconia A500] BrianDigital:
id hold out for tegra 3 its on the horizon and yeah
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Watch this (it's a YouTube video on the A500 wifi capabilities)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLNTCU90kkE&feature=player_embedded

And try flashing this wifi fix in CWM.

Some have had success with it! ;)

http://www.multiupload.com/L5O10H0C7F
[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
That is interesting to see. Mine definitely does not do that. I use wifi analyzer to determine my signal strength as well, not the bars. The a500 gets 25dB less signal strength than my phone in the same exact spot.

As far as the fix goes, I didn't think that fix had anything to do with signal strength, I thought it was about actual connection issues? I am not rooted either, so I don't have CWM installed anyway.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhinton:
I just purchased a Sammy 8.9 for 350 at BBY. And its pretty good. Light, pretty fast, and the screen is great. I will se how I manage eith out my ports. I never thought or cared about size and weight but its really a joy to handle.
[Acer Iconia A500] xceebeex:
I think the 8.9 inch screen would be a little too small for my liking. I am thinking that I will end up returning this no matter what and then I may just wait until the next set of tablets come out to decide on one.

I just don't think I can deal with this. I have until Feb 22nd so I will probably wait until the last minute to return it.
