Using Rom Toolbox with the galaxy s2 my choices of icons are limited. Because of that, I want to know if anyone has figured out how to replace the 5 Signal bar icon and ( rom toolbox only has 4 bars) the sound icon with a slash, the H+ icon, 3g icon and Edge icon. Even though rom toolbox has a 3g one it doesn't replace the default one. Also, anyways to get a differnt signal bar color?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
For the signal bar u can go onto uot kitchen and mess with it. U can also get apk tool and decompile systemUI.apk, and go into drawable-hdpi and the icons will be there, and u can edit them using a photo editor like gimp.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sy7hf7tgtgrf:
Thanks, does anyone know the specific names of the icons cause there's a lot of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sy7hf7tgtgrf:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Look at the how-to section. You'll have to spend time navigating, learning the site, and how to use it. UOT kitchen is as easy as it's going to get. It's really simple once you get a feel for it. Otherwise, you can replace the icons manually. Again, seemingly much at first, but really simple after some time. In my signature, I have linked a post I made about making these changes. At first glance, you might want to run away, but it gives STEP BY STEP instructions.

Try out roam control. It's been mentioned in these forums before and it works great. Unfortunately it's not on the market anymore but you can buy it directly from the developers website. I use it at work where I get hardly any sprint service and it roams on 3G perfectly. It also helps out my battery because the phone isn't constantly trying to switch from roaming to local. I think the site is roamctrl.com.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
I use Roam Control in Atlanta and it works great and I do indeed receive Verizon 3G on my phone. But Roam Control can't magically give you 3G if it's just not available on PRL 11115 in your area.

Does anyone know of an app that uses internet connection for calling purposes?

I am on AT&T and have a limited minutes plan, and am not left with much at the end of the month.

There are such apps on other platforms like talkatone app in ios devices, which allow users to call using cellular data or wifi, thus not using the valuable minutes of the plan.

I was just wondering if anyone know about any such app on WP devices, or anyone interested in making one.

Thanks

Search for Govoice - it uses google voice.

Also Tango.me (it does video and voice and is also available to android and iphone although it is currently only phone to phone or phone to pc communication)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PO15ON:
Thanks for replying,

I already use Govoice and tango. Govoice uses the google voice number, but makes the call through your cellular network which uses the minutes on your plan.

Tango on the other hand uses data or wifi to make the call which is what I want, but it can only call other tango users which is very limiting.

I want an app which dials whatever number I give it, and instead of using the cellular network, uses data or wifi.

I personally dont have access to ios or android device, but there is an app called "Talkatone" on both these platforms (i think, but am sure about ios) which calls every number in the directory using only data or wifi.

An app like that is what I am looking for.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
Hi,

I just got my Galaxy Nexus, flashed with AOKP build 18 and i gotta say that the battery life is unacceptable. It drops 10% in less then 1h while the phone is sitting there doing nothing. Wifi, bluetooth, location services, GPS are off. All background apps closed.

It lasts about half the time my iPhone 4 does and it is a year and half old.

I see some people showing examples of how their battery last for more then 20h but all these are BS tests as they leave the phone on standby all day or have some very light usage.

Is there a real fix for this? Am i forced to drop another 50$ and buy Samsung's 2100mh extended battery?

btw i tried setCPU also to lower CPU to minimum when in standby but doesnt do much. I want a solution that will enable me to use my phone, not something that makes it last 40h in standby and then kills it in 2h when i use it.

please help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
So everyone that posts four hours of screen on time is bullshitting? Did you know the first 10% isn't even that accurate? If you're on Verizon turn off LTE. If you're on GSM and you don't get three hours of screen on time you have an app that is killing your battery. It is as simple as that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chrisexv6:
Try toggling Bluetooth on and then off, then grab CpuSpy from the market and check out if the CPU is pegged at a certain speed.

Some builds of ALL the custom ROMs have had issues where the phone wont sleep correctly, high %-age of Android System process, etc.

I disagree that its silly to talk about idle time on battery, because idle time is the closest we can all get to apples to apples comparison. We all USE our phones differently, the closest we come to using them the same is when they are just sitting there idle (not quite exact because some people sync data, some people only have 3G, etc, but a lot closer than person A playing games for 3 hours at a clip vs person B browsing for 3 hours)

I *still* havent seen anyone come up with a template like setup to report battery life. Like you said it does me no good to know someone dropped 3% "overnight" without knowing how long "overnight" is, if they had 3g/4g/Wifi enabled or even disabled completely, sync on/off, etc.

Personally, Ive seen 1.5%/hr drop with my phone idle. Running AOKP b19, LeanKernel, interactivex governor, undervolted (-75 mA at each level from 180 mhz to 1200 mhz), 4G on, BT on, GPS on, sync on (1 gmail account).

I imagine with all that stuff running 1.5%/hr isnt half bad. Screen on time isnt incredible but its not bad, but again my screen on activities can (and probably will) be different than your screen on activities so take that with several grains of salt.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
It's not the first 10%, it's all the time.. it drops for about 10% or more every hour. Less then 3h of screen time.

I'll give cpuspy a try and see if some app is killing my battery.

I used AOKP rom because most of the people in the thread were saying that rom fixed their battery issue but for me it made no difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Yea somethings not right. Off charge at 8am and its 4:30pm now. Got 61% left at time of this writing and been using it quite alot. Typically have about 75% left about this time.

I just use an AOKP like yourself and a custom kernel. I'm on the phone like every 15min reading emails, SMS, word feud, twitter news, Facebook, Gmail.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
It's actually 2000 mAh not 2100 mAh.

You can use a custom kernel such as Franco Kernel. New version came out today and includes more battery improvements (according to changelog!)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
My phone essentially sits idle unless my screen is on...

As you can see, if my screen is on the graph drops, when it's off the graph flattens out and the battery barely moves. I used to be sick to my stomach of the battery life until I realized it was because I wouldn't put the phone down and always had the screen on thus killing the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Just a word of advice. Whites consume more power on AMOLED screens. You'd probably maximize your battery a lot more if you went back to a "Ice Cream Sandwich" feel or at least apply a black themed MIUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] McDeadagain:
I had something similar and it was recommended to me on these forums that I log out of Gtalk.

Before people come out and say it makes no sense - it doesn't really matter if it does or not - it worked for me. I get a full day out of a charge now, which doesn't really matter because as someone said above it's all relative. What DOES matter is that my phone is now sleeping properly, so the battery doesn't drain when the phone is idle. That's the part that wasn't working on my phone.

If you feel so inclined, give this a try and see if it works for you. Just log out of all Google talk accounts and see how your battery life is - you'll know within a day if it's helping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Have you flashed the new radios yet?

You can also try different kernels and see which one works best for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Powell730:
Yeah I just installed this today, giving it a trial run. It's OK so far.. I think just growing pains so far. Also, I don't think themes work just yet.. At least last I saw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Ah okay.

I think MIUI is pretty much at the same state as CM9. Just lots of work needing to be done since ICS revamped Android in so many ways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
not quite.

can i preface by saying that there are two types of Gnexus's out there? the SCH-i515 (CDMA/LTE Verizon) and the GT-i9250 (HSPA+, AT&T).

The 2000mAh is for the HSPA+ version

The 2100mAh is for the LTE version.

i see a LOT of bad advice on these forums here.

my best advice to you (from one Verizon Nexus owner to another), is to keep at stock 4.0.2. Root it, and apply a custom kernel. Only apply custom kernel if you feel that you're still not getting decent battery life for a whole day on 4G stock ROM/kernel.

As far as I know, Verizon Nexus owners' max on-screen time with 4G enabled all day is about 3 hours MAX, and thats if you disable everything else but LTE, with very low brightness settings, and on extended battery.

imo, the next 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 update hopefully will mitigate some battery consumption issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] z06mike:
Are you talking about 3 hours MAX browsing or just being POWERED ON?

If you are talking about just being on for 3 hours, you are GROSSLY incorrect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
See my screen on time?

4 hours screen on time including 21 minutes using gps for Sygic Navigation is not bull****. Stand by for up to 61 hours, easy.

And I was using the phone extensively for web browsing, facebook, gplus, xda, games, etc.

All with stock rom and stock kernel, extended battery 2000mAh, gsm.

No BS ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
You were on wifi the entire day.

You are using the HSPA+ version of the Nexus. HSPA+ version gets better battery life.

Try being on HSPA+ the entire day with wifi disabled. you will not be getting 4 hours of battery life on-screen time.

Please reread what i wrote. MAX ON-SCREEN TIME.

it is not possible to go 4 hours of on-screen time with LTE enabled all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Most of the time I was on wifi, but not all.

But fair enough, I will test on 100% without WiFi. However, we don't have HSDPA+ unfortunately. Only HSDPA or 3G.

sounds dumb, but are you sure you have Verizon's GNexus? Your profile shows an AT&T carrier... otherwise you should probably update it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
I think the Kernel is what makes the difference. It seems to be the only difference i see between myself and the people like you have a reasonable battery life.

which one do you recommend? And i'm a noob at this so could you point me to a thread the explains how to flash it? If u cant its ok im sure i can figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
Franco Kernel.

I bought the extended GSM battery and can safely say the battery life on this device is the BEST I have ever had. Even before the battery it was good, averaging over 3 hrs screen time and losing around 1% an hour or less in standby. I easily hit 4 hrs of screen time and with light usage the battery could last days.

Hope you solve your issue! Ensure you calibrate and remember it can take a couple of weeks before a new battery starts to perform adequately. Try betterbatterystats to analyse sources of drain.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnbibbs:
Yes I have the Verizon GN. I only access the forums from tapatalk so I never have the opportunity to update it. I wish I had taken a screenshot but I got distracted after I was looking at the bat stats.

The battery life astounded me yesterday because I was away from home all day and my car charger was in my wife's car. If I remember the next time I I am on LTE all day and hit these usages stats I'll take a screenshot but I give you my word that was what happened.

I have no reason to try to impress people on a forum by lying.

The only charge it got yesterday after I was gone for the day was a brief 15 maybe 20 minute session when it was plugged into my laptop transferring files.

Your screen time is low, i had a close to 2h today of screen time so i guess that makes a big difference. I'm about to flash franco's kernel and i'll give it a try and see if it does improve my bat life.

Also someone talked about flashing the new radios, can someone elaborate on this? Talking about the baseband? if so, what advantage to flashing it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikeairj:
Yes, it's low.. but you said your phone loses about 10% of battery in about less than an hour. So that's not normal. Just showing you my screenshots to support my case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j.go:
Yes, they're talking about the baseband. Supposedly, some basebands have their own "regional tweaks." Don't ask me what that means. :) Anyway, some basebands work better than others on a given network, giving better reception. From what I understand (I may be wrong, though), when the signal level drops, the phone sends more juice to the radio to extend its range and improve the connection. So, in a an area with really poor connection, you're battery level will take a nosedive. To illustrate, I have a nokia candybar that I use almost exclusively for calls. I can go 3-4 days with lots of calls. A few months back, my network had problems in my area and my battery level went from full to empty in 18 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] angeluszero:
That's very interesting. Where can I find these? I'm from Canada and I'm using a Bell Gnexus but my provider is Fido which also offers the Gnexus I learned so if what you say is true, flashing the baseband could help.

As for flashing it, I guess it is the same as everything else recovery mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sharp75:

Unless you're having reception problems, I doubt it will do you much good. However, it's always worth a try. You'll have to search the forums, either the dev or general section. I've seen around 3-4 floating around the forum.

I'm not sure if there are flashable zips of the baseband. Those I've seen are .img and should be flashed via fastboot.
