Hows the battery life? THinking about getting it.

Thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KGNTSTNY:
Battery life is definitely shorter than Galaxy S II. Doesn't last me a day, maybe slightly more than half. Now trying to find a way to root so i can remove certain apps & hopefully increase it's lifespan.

Haven't used the s2. Have a lumia 800 and galaxy nexus. Any comparison with those? Thanks

What about the camera?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CliveEP:
I use this phone daily for work. Just over a day, maybe a day and a half of moderate usage which is an improvement on the optimus 3d.

Phone is very smooth and benefits from the extra ram over the 3d (doubled to 1gb for the prada device).

Have to say i like it but can't imagine it having much of a dev scene due to limited numbers of the phone available

Edit the camera is decent and stacks up well to the likes of the S2 quite happily, 8mp with a good response/shutter time, auto and touch focus and a half decent flash.

I've tried googling for a valid download link for SOC1.7 but every link that I found was blocked by my NOD32.

Did I found invalid links? or is it normal for NOD32 to block it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nshahid89:
I think you might have found something that is not SOC1.7 - because I didn't really have a problem with the root whatsoever, when using rageagainstthecage.

For anyone interested in the battery life for LG P940, I get a full 24 hours at the minimum. I have attached the 'battery chart' if anyone cares to look. My phone use involves WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Facebook, Google+, Facebook Messenger, Emails, Google Music (streaming). More so, my emails are set to auto-refresh every 1 hour. And all the push notifications, for everything, is always on. The only thing that I tend to leave off is the GPS and locations.

The camera itself is pretty decent - although I am not a huge fan of the native application that it comes with. As such, I have started using Camera360 Ultimate, to make the best use of it.

The phone's interface and interaction is fairly smooth - haven't had any issues (as of yet).

work that it looks would need to be done.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
There was a point being made because at that time xboarders name was actually thrown out as someone to get a bounty going for at the same time as bubby and somehow despite xboarders track record and bubby's lack of a track record xboarder ended up in the backburner for a bounty thread.

It isnt bad to have the occasional reminder to prevent history being repeated.

[HTC Sensation] Csapty_htc:
Hey all

I've been trying to flash a ROM to my sensation, but everyines i press the zip file in recovery mode, it starts off okay, and then says 'E: error, can't mount /SD-ext' and then it aborts the flash...

How can I fix this error??

Any help would be much appreciated!
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Get the rom from a different source. Are you s off with a recovery? Sounds like u may not kno exactly what your doing. What rom are u trying to flash? What firmware are u on? Is it an ics based rom or gingerbread rom? Need more details.

Sent From My steak using A1 steak sauce app (Sensation)
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
Well , basically this is not any error. The particular ROM u are trying to flash needs an ext4 partition on your sdcard i.e. your SDCARD should have one FAT partition and at least one ext4 partition.

If you are not comfortable with creating partition on SDCARD, then choose a different ROM ( I suggest ARHD, RCMIX3D or Virtuous ). These ROMs does not necessarily need SD-ext partition.

I also suggest to do a superwipe before flashing the ROM. And if you are trying to flash ICS based ROM , then you must flash the appropriate firmware too.
[HTC Sensation] nevrlow:
Always have to do a superwipe

i think you have to create a ext partition in ur sd card.

just log to cwm and format your sd card .it will creat a sd ext according to ur choice ;)

Hey everyone im trying to unroot my transformer.I instaleed repacked-8.2.3.13_US+root-CWR-update.zip.Rebooted it and then i shut it back down.I then booted into clockword mod and installed this recovery 8239usrecovery zip.After that i wiped cache,data and system.I rebooted and now im stuck on the eeepad asus boot screen.When i try to go into recovery i get the triangle.Is there anything i can do?Or did i brick my transformer by formatting the system?Please some one help.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrevankyle:
never delete system as it is what has all of the stock apps and framework and library. So it will not boot. The stock firmware will NOT install if you do not have everything in system perfectly. If possible try to use NVFlash to get back to a stable rom if not i don't know if there is anything you can do.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
Don't do **** if you don't know what you're doing or you don't have the full instructions in front of you...

Start PC/Laptop with LiveCD/RescueCD

Format C: (or /dev/sda)

Try to start PC/Laptop

Start to ROFL! :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fone_fanatic:
You were supposed to flash the stock rom from asus before flashing the recovery.

Try downloading the rom from asus, unizziping it and placing it on your microSd card and see if theres a prompt to update the rom when you attempt to go into recovery.

Als you could try wiping it again.

Boot while holding the volume down button, When the text shows up don't press anything, wait and you'll get two images show up. Press volume down highlight select wipe cache, the volume up to confirm.

See if that works.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enviidisnut:
Thanks i will try that now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrat:
Hi everybody.

Many roms use custom host files for adblocking purposes. How could you deactivate that? I'm using CyberGR now and I don't like this tweak.

People shouldn't have large hosts, it slows dns requests.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I don't believe it impacts DNS requests very much (if at all). If you don't want a large hosts file, just open it with a text editor and feel free to remove everything aside from the "127.0.0.1 localhost" line.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sotoskawasaki:
As stated above, I too am not sure if this actually slows down dns requests at all. But even if there is it will be minimum and the benefit of the ad blocking is sure greater than any delay there might be.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] Boomer Dog16:
After owning my note for a month and waiting for any company to make a good hip carry case i made my own. I bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005QC7M9O/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details by casecrown.com On amazon its less than 8 $ on thier site its 20$

I also bought a belt clip from theclip.com they have many kinds of clips but i got the 4 hole black clip and attached it to a 2.5 inch by 5 inch strip of leather (black like the case) and had a guy that runs a shoe repair shop sew the leather horizontally on the back of the case just below the zipper pouch on the case. The case is actually for a E book reader measures 5 x 7.5 inchs made out of neoprene but since i have a gel shell on my note making my note a little thicker it fits very easily in and out with a little room to spare, when otter or balistic ever come out with a good shell my note will still fit in this hip case. I really like the full velcrow closing flap, when i get time I'm going to sew in a strap inside the case from the bottom to the top flap so that when i open the top flap it will pull my note up about 1.5 inchs to make it even easilier to grasp when getting it out of the case. You know what they say about necessity and inventions. Hope this can help some too.

[HTC Rezound] SnoopDawg:
If this device has gets completely drained, it is painful to recover. You will have to try possibly 100 times various chargers, removing the battery etc.

The screen stayed black with an occasional light, but wouldn't power on at all.

It finally worked but you really have to be tenacious.

The light will blink for a while, but it will still charge. If after 10 minutes the LED is still blinking, unplug the charger and plug it back in.
[HTC Rezound] OLDsJUNKIE:
Run mine dead at least once a week. Which should be common practice. Never a problem. You should definitely let it charge a while before expecting it to fire back up.
[HTC Rezound] lithium630:
Don't be "that guy".
[HTC Rezound] Prefader:
I exchanged my one-week-old phone yesterday because of this: my phone went dead overnight, so I plugged it in in the morning and got nothing (no lights or anything). I left it charging for about 20 minutes while I got ready for work and still got nothing. When I got to work, I stuck it on the charger again for about 3 hours, and still got nothing. I went to the nearest Verizon store to see what they could do about it, and they didn't even look at the phone, just replaced it.

Works for me, I guess.
[HTC Rezound] remmy5r:
Have had this happen twice now (with oem batteries). My problem was though, left them on the charger all day, then they wouldnt turn on or do anything.
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
sometimes i wonder if the people who said their phones never came back on, actually just freaked because it didn't turn RIGHT back on and frantically started plugging it into tons of chargers thinking all sorts of things could be wrong, when really nothing was.

I have never had a phone NOT come back on, and this is with 2 years of HTC phones (at least 2 dozen phones when you consider all the replacements for various things here and there) and not a single one has failed to charge back up.

not saying anyone is lying, but when something happens that were unfamiliar with, its easy to start getting freaked out.

Think about it, would a manufacturer make a device that has a high tendency to fully discharge, "break" should it actually discharge? Sounds a bit silly...
[HTC Rezound] maniac2k:
Ran mine sead before and recharged no problem. You just have to plug it in and wait. It's not gonna turn on immediately. Let it charge.

[HTC Rezound] lithium630:
In almost every thread on here, someone has to complain and tell the OP to search. There are thousands of threads to go through. Even after narrowing it down with a search they could still miss the answer to their question.
[HTC Rezound] CocoaGoddess:
No, this is a problem I've had as well, twice in fact.

The first time my battery ran down from 99% to dead because I was unaware that it lost and was searching for a signal. I couldn't get it to turn on after hours and hours of charging. I finally took it into a Verizon store, and they used a different charger to get it turned back on.

It happened again last night. I was downloading something, the signal was lost, and the battery died prematurely. I used the stock charger to charge it overnight, but when I woke up this morning, the phone refused to turn on. I charged it with my HP Touchpad charger, and it came on about five minutes later.

The stock charger failed to revive the battery BOTH times.

So my solutions are, 1. don't let the battery die. But things happen and sometimes it's unavoidable. 2. If the battery dies and you can't get it charged after hours, try using a compatible charging cord from a different device to get it moving.
[HTC Rezound] jmorton10:
Things that are unavoidable happen, but I make darn sure my battery never dies 100% after something that happened with my Droid Charge.

It was custom ROMed and all tweaked out etc and I fell asleep one night when it only had about 10% left. It ran all night and was off in the morning.

When I plugged It in and started it up, every single app started force closing on me. This had never happened before and it was so bad the thing was totally unusable.

Luckily, I had made a nandroid BU the day before and restoring it fixed it.
[HTC Rezound] esheesle:
No idea how true this is, but I've read a few other posts with people having this issue and they found that if you pop the back, pop the battery, plug in, insert battery and replace back. Then you let it sit for 20 or so minutes and it should start up again. Love to know if this resolves the issue for those having it though.

wow. VERY cool app. Doubt enough people use it here in Canada to be as effective as it may be in areas in the States, but still... love the idea of this app. In Google Navigation the Traffic layer actually works pretty decent, so I do like that.

What the OP is asking for though (which I don't believe waze has) is the ability download the maps to your phone for offline access (for use when outside of your mobile data area). I've also wondered what is the best option... you can download sections of areas in Google Navigation but I've heard it's kinda glitchy and it doesn't catch much of an area....
