Actually, there is EVERY advantage of installing JD on any rom. JD does things no roms can do, like enable/disable connectivity such as wifi, gps, bluetooth depending on variable you chose such as location, time of day....

I use JD ultimate and this is what i usually get...JD is probably the best battery manager out there, you can couple it wil SetCPU to additionally tweak it.

On this screen is my usage for tha past day, i have 25% left and i've already have 26 hours on my battery. JD is set to keep wifi on at all time when im home. Imagine how much more i could gain if it only enabled wifi every half hour to sync my stuff.

Also take into consideration i've been uploading all my pictures to dropbox for the past 1.5 hours. When i woke up 2 hours ago, i have 43% remaining. So dropbox drained 20% in 1.5 hours
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dathaeus:
Very nice thanks, good to know at least I picked a good one...

Also what battery app is that u r using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
battery status
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
I don't see a point really. My screen uses most of the battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
I dont understand how you can "not see the point". Even a save of 10%-15% gives you at least a couple more hours of up time...we all know there is no magical solution for such a hungry, battery guzzling phone, but why not make the best out of it and control what we can?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:
I guess I do see the point. Maybe I just don't care that much. It makes sense to try to maximize battery life, so maybe I will try it out. I don't care much for the idea of turning off data when the screen is off with manual sync times though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
buy a extra battery. or a car charger. juice defender and under volting will help but not much. just turn screen down your self and turn wifi off which leave house. i tried most bat apps there are. i don't use any now and get better life then most people. been work eight hours and I'm at eighty four percent still. that's with use lol. jd uses more then it saves
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dathaeus:
Any of you guys try that double capacity battery, if it really does give 100% more juice? I am debating over it because it also makes the phone heavier and almost twice as thick... the slim form factor and weight is one of my fav parts of this phone so..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Robnw:
There's a double capacity battery? Where can I get it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dathaeus:
I'm sure they sell it elsewhere but it is all over ebay and I was tempted:

3800mAh Extended Battery + Cover

I love my slim form so I may just get like a battery 3 pack and always keep a couple charged in the fridge or something... when I go out for a while it can easily fit in a back pocket or bag for emergency.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harigavara:
hi friends.i want an call blocking/black list App which will blocks the selected blacklisted number,and while that number call us...i want a response tone to be like "the user you are calling is unavailable" or a simple n silent call end up with some beeps unlike responding that blocked number as "the user is busy",as bcos this busy tone wil be saying him that we are rejecting his call.

i really wrexedup in searching this app.

in earlier i used nokia5230 S60v5,there i had an app named "M-Cleaner" which was also cald as "360 Principle",developed by some china dev's.this app works such like saying the user is unavilable or simply ending up the call witout saying anything.it's having an option of call forwarding rejection method.so i use to keep a some real unavialable number in that option n make choose that call forwading rejection/blocking method.i think due to this option that app was able to do so(as lik my requirement).

Please help me to find such an app in our android platform.i thought symbian is itself having such an outstanding app,y not for android?...n jumped to android.

my mobile-Samsung galaxy Y(not rooted).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android78822:
Mr Number gives the option to pick up the phone and hang up automatically, but does not send an automated voice response to the caller, but that does sound great.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harigavara:
im not saying any automated voice responses bro.im asking about the "response tone" that comes by default from the service provider when we call.

for example if i cal a switched off mobile...then the service provider replies me as "the user/subscriber you are trying is unavailable/switched off ".this is wat im asking.

Ive noticed that once launching for instant XDA Developer app the statusbar dissepears for about a second or two. Once its gone I can see parts from the statusbar on the screen even if its hidden.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jd1001:
I don't see it but that would annoy me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I see this too. I'm pretty sure its just image retention and not burn in. If I enter the browser and rotate the screen to landscape I don't see anything abnormal where the status bar would be in portrait.
[Sony Tablet S] tushar.das:
hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to stop the GPS from blinking all the time in the bottom right near the battery logo.
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
It sounds like you have a program open that is trying to pull your location like Google maps. Download advanced task killer from the market and kill all your open applications. The app is free.
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
don't need

You actually don't need a separate task killer app. If you open the APP tab, (the one that shows all of the apps), there is a tab there that says "Running Tabs." Then you will see another tab that says "stop all running applications".

Additionally go into your settings and you will find a section to turn on/off the GPS.
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
and there is always factory reset to fall back on ! :D
[Sony Tablet S] Judah001:
Good tip. Since I bought my tab I have used some of the same apps from my phone and just added them over. I'll have to check it out when I get home.
[Sony Tablet S] MarkB709:
I believe the only way to have that flashing is by having the GPS activated in Settings --> Location & Security. Are you actually using GPS on your tablet?

If not, just go to Settings --> Location & security and turn off all 3 of the checkboxes located there. They are:

Use wireless networks

Use GPS Satellites

Use location for google search

I personally never leave those on myself. Try deactivating those and you should never see that problem again.
[Sony Tablet S] tushar.das:
Thank you guys for the solutions, Problem solved.

Any issue to flashing a lot of roms, and get internal storage smaller? Because i think when flash it, dont delete old files, only copy a new one.

Please :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkasecas:
Hi

So as the title says, the thing went like:

- I use checkrom revolution from some time now (currently at v4)

- I tried ICS remix rom from westcrip I think it was v7.3 no-wipe. I did't do a backup, this was my mistake

- As it was not as good for a daily use, I reflashed checkrom

- The shortcut to calendar had changed to something like "app not installed", when I go to add shortcut, calendar doesn't appear in the list

There is a Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in system/app, if I run it, it launchs an installer but at the end it says "Application not installed"

I know there are lots of calendar apps in market but I liked the default, so I'd like to know if there is a way to get it back :s

Any help will be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You don't run .apk files in /system/app. If the files are already there, they should be in your app list. If they're NOT in your app list, reboot. If they're still not in your app list, factory reset/data wipe. If they're STILL not in your app list, reflash checkrom.

EDIT: How are you adding the shortcut? Long press on the homescreen, or long press on the icon in your app drawer? Does the calendar show up at all in your app drawer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
Factory reset>flash stock again. BACK UP!!!>flash whichever ROM you like.

Saying "I didn't backup, my mistake" is a pathetic and lame excuse.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkasecas:
It isn't in my app drawer either, I forgot to mention it in the OP, I was doing long press on homescreen. I've rebooted and reflashed checkrom, I was hoping for an option that didn't involve wipe/reset :(

And when I said I didn't backup was not meant as an excuse, just more information, in case someone asked if I did it / suggested to recover from backup
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Wait - are you trying to flash back from ICS to a GB based ROM withOUT wiping? Yeah, as far as I know, that'll never work. You will HAVE to wipe.

EDIT: To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you're not seeing more problems and issues with your phone, if you DIDN'T wipe going from ICS back to GB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkasecas:
That's right, I flashed back to GB from ICS with just cache/dalvik wipe and everything works fine, the calendar gone is the only problem I have.

Thanks for the answers, I guess I'd have to go with the wipe.

[HTC Rezound] MINIATURE-ART:
Hello all. I've been reading with much dread on the changes to my phone with the Verizon forced OTA update. I really don't care about the extra battery bar, and didn't want to have my battery life wasted by the Verizon Location bloatware. I caught my phone twice trying to install the OTA, and I defered it until tomorrow.

That's when I notice you can "reject" the update. Currently if you go into settings, status, you can then click on reject. It appears the OTA will not install.

Hope this helps,

BOBBY

PS- I have a screen shot but can't post a Photobucket link as a new member yet.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I read on here that it will be forced upon you on Feb. 5.

Don't be afraid...

;)
[HTC Rezound] jdmba:
Nope

I rejected the OTA a couple of times; didn't stop it from installing when I wasn't looking a few days ago.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
It really sucks that you can't permanently reject an update if you don't want it.

My son has a DroidX that is bone stock. He doesn't care about mods whatever, his phone is all beat up and he could care less what the wallpaper/icons etc are. He just wants it to work.

When the GB update came out for it, he absolutely DID NOT want it but eventually it installed anyway and his phone has been really messed up ever since (it worked fine before the update)

He has so many apps installed that he really doesn't want to factory reset it ( he doesn't even know where he got half of them) but it is going to have to be reset soon.
[HTC Rezound] pilot85:
My phones actually rejecting it normally. Ive restarted my phone a couple of times and it notifies me that its DL however it just fails to install. I don't want the update right now but i do wonder if that will come back to bite me in the as*
[HTC Rezound] palmsole:
Ever since the update my phone seems to lag just a little bit when scrolling screens in sense. Or has it always been this way and I'm just noticing?
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You can always save it for later.

The file is called OTAPkg.zip and should be in /cache/fumo. You can just download it and postpone the install then move it out to somewhere where you can always use it at a later date.
[General Questions and Answers] geshadve:
Ok I installed ICS on my Xperia X8 but the problem is that when I reboot my phone I can't enter xRecovery:( I didn't look at the installation instructions about ICS so I installed like this:

I put the zip in my sd card

I rebooted my phone

I made a full wipe

Then I installed ICS

I found a thread on the the XDA forums on how to fix the xRecovery bug on ICS (that I can't enter it) but when I connect my phone yo my computer It doesn't shows me to mount my sd card.

How can I connect my phone to my computer whit ICS on Xperia X8 ?

[Acer Iconia A500] garringm:
Think Im going to give it a stab and try to get the A200 HC Rom on my A500 fully functional with rear camera(granted I think I've only taken 1 pic with it but still its there and it should work), I assume since 99% of the hardware between the two are identical this shouldn't be too complicated with the right kernel and driver files?? I made a quick comparison on the files in both stock roms and there really isn't much difference. In the A500 I see a lot of files referencing the docking port, while in the A200 ROM these particular files are missing. I'm sure there are some updates in the A200 kernel that optimize and build on the shared hardware while excluding the necessary information and files for the missing hardware.

Any Thoughts or opinions on this
[Acer Iconia A500] jkt97401:
Why HC? Why not just go straight to ICS? :)
[Acer Iconia A500] garringm:
Don't quote me as speaking the truth or knowing all of my facts, this is my opinion based on my understanding. ICS is still only available for the A200 and again this brings up the point that my device has hardware the A200 does not such as the camera, and again I believe if its there it should work if I need it. And I am sure there are others that follow in my line of thinking. At this point all I can see are UI improvements I really have dug into the nuts and bolts of the entire thing but I don't really think there is much difference other than files and reference removed for the missing hardware, maybe some minor improvements on drivers and files for things such as bluetooth and GPS

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] namtellum:
Now that the Note for AT&T is official and we know the specs I wanted to get some opinions on the phone. I have personally been waiting for this phone to come subsidized to AT&T since it was first announced and now that it is finally here, I'm nowhere near as excited as I thought I would be and that all comes down to one thing:Snapdragon.

I know this topic has been debated before and some think it is vastly inferior to the Exynos while others that the difference is negligible but this is my biggest reservation about the AT&T version. I am currently using a Captivate at 1.5ghz running CM9 build 15 and while the phone may be old it is still quite smooth. I went into an AT&T store and played with a Skyrocket to get an idea of how the Note would feel and I was very disappointed. It seemed way more sluggish and unresponsive than my current phone and definitely slower than my friends Exynos powered GSII.

Another problem I foresee with the Snapdragon is the availability of custom roms. Now I may be spoiled with the amount of developers that the I9000 and I897 have had but with the hardware on the AT&T note being different than the international version, that may greatly limit the amount of developers it will receive. This may turn out to be completely false but my favorite part about android are all of the custom roms and if that were to mostly disappear it would be very disappointing for me.

I should also mention that LTE is a complete non-factor when taking this phone into consideration as I currently live in the Detroit area and we probably won't even see LTE in a year at the least.

If anyone would like to share their opinion on anything Note related I would love to hear it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coretech:
I too am in the same boat... I couldn't wait until the Note was state side but when I finally read the specs for the AT&T Note I started to loose interest. I have read all kinds of reviews on the skyrocket Vs SGSII / Snapdragon VS Exynos and while they were informative I couldn't help feeling like it's all personal preference. Unfortunately, my preference is leaning Samsung which leaves me with only one option. Buy an unlocked Note!

I also have the ATT captivate with ICS running Doc's rom though and think that's running smooth. (Battery could be better but that's for another thread) :D and I love how the community has picked up this phone and continue to support it even though it's an older phone.

I guess I'm going to have to wait and see what happens and hope that developers pick up the ATT Note like they have the captivate. Maybe the snapdragon wan't be so bad. :confused:

The main reasons I wanted the Note when it was announced:

Big screen

Exynos dual core

NFC

Front camera

8mp rear camera

Stylus

I guess one missing out of six isn't too bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tonyc0642:
I had a Captivate before I got my Inspire, I wish I would have kept it, great phone, just wanted a bigger one. I think the reason it seems sluggish to you is because your Captivate is running CM9, while the Note is running GB with TouchWiz. Big difference there. Remember the difference between stock TW on the Cappy vs. CM? I agree that development may be slower though because of the hardware differences, but I'm sure that it will be a popular phone, and there will be some persistent developer that makes magic happen for us. Maybe designgears or DAGr8 will step up to the plate for us.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
I think the smart money is with waiting for the reviews to come in.

The fact they pulled a switcheroo with the guts of the thing, might warrant delay on buying one. I mean, it would really blow to get all excited only to find it dog slow. You can speculate until your exhausted, but ......we shall see.

I had the unlocked version. I expect; no I demand, the same performance.

Frankly, i'm not very optimistic. I don't like the sound of some of these posts. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
should be ok

Doesn't the skyrocket or whatever it is called pretty much have the same chipset?

I got the international version for a couple of reasons. The #1 reason is I didn't want a carrier branded device. I want the phone as untouched by a carrier as possible, and usually you can only get that with an unbranded device. #2, was I didn't want to sign another contract. I've been on the old unlimited for a year now, and I prefer to keep it that way until at&t kicks me off of it. #3, in my market, I think h*ll will freeze over before we get LTE. 3rd largest city in the state but, at 200,000 people, it will be a while before it gets here, so the LTE radio wasn't an issue, I'm happy with H+, and I use wi-fi for anything more than checking email and a quick web browse anyway.

If the only thing at&t does to the Note is the radio, LTE, and the lack of the home button, then I don't see why it shouldn't be ok, but, carriers have a way of crippling devices, like disabling the FM radio & tethering, both of which I use just about daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Yes, the Skyrocket is the LTE version of the SGSII on ATT. It has the snapdragon processor. I had the SGSII before that but returned it for the skyrocket because DFW had launched the LTE network and I wanted to be on it. I heard the same back and forth, but I find the skyrocket a very capable phone and the snapdragon a capable processor in every way. The one disappointment I have had in the skyrocket is the bluetooth. I hope the LTE radio does not affect the bluetooth because the GNote has a very good bluetooth system. That will be among the first thing I find out about the ATT Version.

So you tether on your Gnote? No nasty grams from ATT?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimocal:
I was bummed about the Exnos initially but then really thought about it. For me Exnos would only really matter if I played a lot of games. The games I play aren't that graphics intensive (Worms, Front Line Commander, Eternity Warriors, Wordfeud, etc). Everything I've thrown at my Touchpad, which also has a S3 SOC, with CM7/9 it has played more than fine. Now with ICS on it the TP really flies and that's even with no video acceleration and other goodies that the Note will have working for sure. ICS on the Note is going to be awesome. I think the S3 chipset will more than suite my needs. The Exnos at this point is more for the gamers and bragging rights.

For me the things

I want

in my next phone are:

1) Big A$$ Screen

Ever since they announced the Streak I've wanted a phone with a large screen and this is larger than the Streak's screen. Luckily there is a big a$$ battery that comes along with it to get you thru 1 day without needing to be next to a power outlet.

2) NFC

Lots of cool things you can use this for, especially mobile payments. I plan on keeping this phone for a long time so I want to be semi future proof.

3) Local warranty

After having so many Captivates crap out between my wife and I, the thought having to send back that many Notes to the Int'l vendor just doesn't sit well with me. AT$T will comp free stuff when you've returned so many and will even replace it with a new one to keep a customer happy, or in my experience they have.

4) Functioning GPS

The Captivates GPS was barely usable especially in Google Navigation. With the Barometer and GLONASS the Note should be a much better GPS experience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
You guys have summed what exactly my reasoning lol. Anyway, hopefully the differences are not drastic from the skyrocket family. If there is little difference other then screen and such, then porting from them (and the tmobile gs2, where most of the development is) can be used, with adding like s memo and such. That would make everyones life better, as maybe something like hellraiser (old infuse term lol its a package you flash after flashing another rom from a whole different phone in the galaxy s family) would be fantastic with a ton more roms to choose from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] planoman:
Well the Galaxy Note can give you a check by all of your criteria. I must comment on how much you will enjoy the GPS on the GNote. It really is pretty amazing! It locks onto a signal like a hungry dog on a bone and does not let go! Fast, accurate and Google Navi works like a champ! The GNote has access to about 57 or so satellites (US and GLONASS) versus the 27 or so in the US GPS network. That reduces time to lock and since you need 4 satellites to get a fix and altitude the Gnote is unrivaled in heavy urban areas like a downtown city.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Maroon Mushroom:
Thoughts on the Note? Best AT&T phone available.

-NFC

-HD screen

-best GPS performance

-the chipset has tons of headroom for overclocking as we have seen with the skyrocket

-will be updated to ICS Touchwiz

-will most likely get an amazing CM9 port. (tablet mode would be awesome!)

-Incredible battery life. the best out of all smartphones from my experience

-Wacom screen w/ stylus

-LTE!

looking at the korean version of this phone (pretty much the same as the AT&T version) it has incredible performance and battery life.

I have a lot of people coming into my AT&T store asking about it. This phone has a lot of hype. I'll take a photo of our shipments when they get in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ryanscool:
