[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sharp75:
+1

With standard battery and stock ROM this phone can only give 2.5 - 3 hours screen time, which is unacceptable IMO in this day and age.

Turn GPS off, turn wifi off, don't use this app, only use that app, turn sounds off, don't increase the brightness, limit the cpu etc etc... So why did I buy a smartphone that I can't use then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sledgeyj:
I have owned more android phones than I can count, and tried more ROMs and Kernels than you can imagine. Countless times I have seem claims of improved battery life, and until recently nothing made a noticeable difference short of not turning on the phone. I am running the latest GummyNex Rom with the Franco Kernel 15.2 and it is shocking. I have verified the last two nights by leaving phone off the charger. Night #1 -8 hours 30 minutes phone sat while I slept, on 4g GPS enabled, and used 8% battery. Last Night 8:15 phone sat, same conditions only 7% battery usage. I am using the "Franco Turtle" governor and notice not performance degradation and only incredible battery life. Very impressive

Hello,

Apparently I am unable to reach any of HTC's download servers for HTC Sync 3.0.5617.

Does anyone have a link to where I can download this software as I would like to unlock my incredible through the official method

Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EskyKay:
I've been in the same boat for the last few days. I contacted HTC asking why the download link doesn't work and they said their web site is being upgraded and they can't give an ETA on when the software will be available for download (which leaves me completely stunned).

I found a couple of links to Russian versions which didn't fill me with confidence. I ended up downloading version 3.0.5551 from softonic at this page (I can't post external links as a new user so I hope this is legible) htc-sync dot en dot softonic dot com, and after I installing it offered to upgrade to the latest version, downloading version 3.0.5617.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You can install sync from the cdrom drive that pops up when you connect your phone to your pc as a disk drive. Then update to the newest version thru the sync app it self. Although now that i think about it the CDROM.iso file has probably been removed or dissabled in a lot of custom roms, so i may just be typing for nothing.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] versace76:
I had a problem with opening Office files on a PC after editing the files in Polaris on my Prime. I discovered a workaround so you don't have to start your document all over again.

You need to e-mail the file to your gmail account as an attachment and then view it in Google Documents. After opening it will say the file is corrupt but it offers the possibility to view it in Plain HTML and there is your document. It's not a perfect sollution but a reasonable workaround, you will only lose certain data but most of it is rescued.

I hope this will help you
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] simard57:
I used Polaris to write a document in a meeting - a couple of lessons learned...

1 - did it really do that? I think that if I leave the app without saving it, it loses information. I have not fully figured it out but is that others experience? can I swap around apps and NOT lose data?

2 - trying to view the document in Word afterwards was really frustration. The worse item was linebreaks in the middle of words in a paragraph. Ultimately I started a new blank Word document and imported the Polaris version into it and all was well.

How many hours a day do you waste fiddling with your phone?

Please include hours spent at work, at home, reading forums, downloading and flashing new ROMs, configuring your phone after a flash, and then just playing with the phone.

It's easy to do with a phone that has great developer support! Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing though, as I've become a bit OCD about flashing the latest/greatest ROMs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Did a search of this section and was surprised to see that no one has mentioned Slipgrip at all. Just wanted to let everyone know about the products they have for the SGS2.

They make mounts for your car/bike/whatever; the cool thing about them is that they make them to be used with a naked phone or while your phone is in an Otterbox or Seidio case. I had one for my Inspire 4G and now for my SGS2, both were wearing Otterbox Commuter cases. The mount works perfect, just pop the phone in and it locks in place, pops back out when you push the clip. It's held securely and they have multiple mounting options (vent mount, suction mount, RAM mount, bike mounts... they have 12 different mounting options).

Another neat thing is that it is cut out to accommodate the camera, so you can mount it on your windshield and easily record the idiots in front of you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonysunshine:
Yeah I had one of these for my captivate after burning through 2 or 3 universal car mounts. Its great. Really sturdy and your phone wont come out unless you want it to. Hopefully Ill get around to buying one for the gs2

I was just looking at these the other day. Other than buying direct from them which it was going for $30 - I could not find them anywhere else. Glad to know it works well, I will just have to save up for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndeadCircus:
Hello everyone,

I am currently at work, and they have their always fun hitler-esque blocking procedures on certain websites that shouldn't be blocked. The place I work at has an open Wifi network available to customers that doesn't block anything. So my question is.. Is it possible for me to connect to the Wifi here at work and then tether that connection through USB to the desktop that I'm currently using?

Thanks!

Ricky
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theidlemonk:
Yes..it is possible. But you will need to disconnect the lan cable before you tether and might need to restart the browser on your desktop.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Does your desktop have a wifi card?And you can use your phone as a wifi hotspot,if your rooted.

Will your company be able to tell if you were doing that from a company computer,don't they monitor the pc's,since they block websites from you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
All you have to do is turn on the wifi and connect the phone to the computer with a USB. Don't mount it as a disk drive. Now use a USB tether app from the market and bam!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
not particularly but could be

anyways yes the evo way costs nothing but you could also maybe pick up a usb dongle? basically the same idea and doesnt tie up your phone just a thought :)

heh dongle
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SNu263:
You can share the WiFi signal via USB. I have used PDANet before and it works fine, however, I have only used it with 3G. I am not sure if it will work with WiFi signal. Also, it entails having the PDANet software installed on the PC, which I am assuming is not a possibilty due to possible restrictions (seeing that youa re being restricted as it is). Doing a "usb tether" search on the market may provide other apps that may allow you to tether via USB without the need of having an application istalled on the PC as well.

Hello,

I use Office 365 (exchange 2010) for my mails, contacts end calendar. The problem with this that I can't add my account in the standard rom or any other gingerbread or ics rom. Miui seems to be the only solution.

So my question is as followed, can someone advice an ICS rom that has activesync for Office 365 working?

PS: I know the problem is because of the administrator and wipe rights and I know that 3th party apps could offer a solution but I chose not to usr them.

Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm wondering if there is any software possible or if it would be possible in theory?

Basically what I mean is when connecting phone to PC, is it possible to integrate it so the PC is a client to take and recieve phone calls via the mobile, allowing me to utilise my headset and be able to continue using skype etc without having to remove or change headset. Thanks.

You're effectively using your PC as a bluetooth headset. Doing so will depend on your configuration - hardward, Windows version, etc - but it is certainly possible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Has anyone noticed that the warm colors are only available when looking at the display head on?

Tilting just a few degrees does keep the image sharp, but the colors are much colder...

What im asking is - is this normal, or should i get another?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Well - i just spoke to supercurio, he says its to do with crappy glass treatment, not the panel itself.

Will go and see what else they have at the store tomorrow...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hudl:
Only a slight change in color for me. Nothing that I would say is an "issue". But, of course, it depends on your personal perception...

What more annoys me is the banding (gradient) and the oversaturated, unnatural colors that I experienced with all AMOLED displays until now. I prefer LC displays...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Seems to be common in Samsung devices but not all exhibit such a bad viewing angle, my Galaxy S and S8500 didnt have any color temperature changes when tilted even at extreme angles while my Galaxy S2 had a slight shift to green, while my note's first screen didnt have any hint of temperature change but after the screen replacement I had a blue tint with really bad viewing angles.

I havent seen how bad it is on the Tab7.7 but im guessing its gonna be similar.

EDIT:

Found this show case video on the Galaxy Note about the viewing angles, their unit doesnt seem to exhibit any color changes.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Added to ignore list for posting irrelevant opinions THAT TELL US NOTHING.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Don't let me stop you, just letting you know that its common among samsung devices but not all of them exhibit the same issue, a friend dropped by after getting his tab 7.7 about 2hrs ago and there is no color change at an angle, so yours might be faulty.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Flightless:
Man I don't post too often but you've gotta relax a little bit, take a chill pill.

The other guy does have a point in saying that its common to all Samsung devices especially the Galaxy S line of devices. I've had a Galaxy S2 that had color temperature change when viewed from an angle and even my current nexus does it.

I got my galaxy tab 7.7 2 weeks ago and I'm very happy to say that it does not have any temperature color change even viewed at an extreme angle.

And this guy did an unboxing and also mentioned that he has no color changes when viewed from an angle as well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rha2jJXCy8M

I hope you find my "opinion" relevant but whatever, relax and chill out.

Also he did add to his post that he saw a friend Tab 7.7 and it didn't have the color change that you mentioned.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Right, ill try to take it easy. But you might want to think why opinions about "Samsung devices" are completely irrelevant...

You might also like to read the op, look at my profile page and signature and make some deductions regarding the entire reasoning process as well.

And thank you for the strait, relevant answer. Its appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
That you notice.

This would be the first OLED or any screen (LCD obviously is bad for this) that doesn't change a bit when viewed off axis then. I have seen the Note, the Infuse, and even Zune HD screens and they all shift a bit when viewed at an angle. I would be very suprised if this did't shift at all but I suppose it may be possible.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Look at the video posted above on the note, it does not have any color temperature change as far as I can tell. Before I had my screen replacement it was similar to that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Just bought three more for the office, all with perfect screens. The first was a dud, store took it back after some cajoling.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vauxhallastra:
No colour change with mine. Best screen I've have ever looked at.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fafrehugen:
I also took mine back because it turned blue when i looked at it at a small angle. New one is not perfect either, still distorting way more than screen on my lcd 8.9 though.

I wonder how many people just dont realise that small color distorion is normal and never complain and how many actually haver crappy screens (since i assume they are pretty much the same manufacture date)?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] paulikxp:
I also wonder what you're doing with your tablets... When I'm using mine I'm holding in front of me, I don't tilt it at 78.5 degrees only to see that physics does its job with the glass filtering/separating colours at certain angles through reflections between the two glass surfaces.

You can't just have everything: a super-tough screen glass, brilliant colours, high resolution, crisp sharpness, 180 degrees viewing angles in every direction.... Be happy with the best screen in a tablet so far!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ftgg99:
Actually you can. My very first 7500 was PERFECT. As was an excellent Incredible S i owned.

Ive now seen 4 of these and none had what i would call a good screen compared to the LCD in my first 7500. Changing up to 170 degrees on it only affects the brightness not the pixels visible color temperatures.

I am using the Sensation on stock ROM..and about two weeks ago got a minor update to it (which provided the power saver option on the quick settings menu)..And since about a week now, my phone takes an elongated time to charge..previously, it took only about 2 hours to fully charge the phone, but now it takes more than 3 hours..plus, it takes only about 1.5 hours to charge from 0% to 80%, but afterwards, it takes more than another 1.5 hours to charge the remaining 20%..but after about 90% it literally stops charging further, no matter how long I keep the phone plugged to the charger..But when I restart the phone at that time, it indicates the battery level as 100%..

Does anyone else has the similar kind of problem? And can anyone please suggest me what to do? Is it a problem with my battery or is it a software issue? Please help me..

Thanks in advance..
[HTC Sensation] zxr24rs:
Perhaps you need to reset the "stats" of the battery ?

Charge the device to full battery; let it keep charging until the battery says it is fully charged. Do not just wait until the light is green, it isn't always fully charged, causing a lot of inaccuracies. (You can check by going to: Settings » About device » Status » Battery Level = Full.)

Boot to recovery mode and delete the battery stats

NOTE: To have the most accurate of battery stats, reboot the device immediately after wiping the battery stats and wait for CyanogenMod to boot completely to the desktop. Once your entire boot is done and you have full access to the device, go ahead and pull the charger and continue with this troubleshooter.

Do not charge the device until after draining the battery completely, resulting in it automatically shutting off.

Recharge the device completely and then use as you normally would.
[HTC Sensation] sarkar_007:
I am also facing almost same issues with battery. The phone charges very fast from 0% to around 75%. The remaining 75% to 100% takes a long time. But it does reach 100%. It doesnt stop before. And if I reboot the phone when charge is 80% or 90% it will immediately show 100% on reboot. So which value was correct? Before or after reboot?

Another thing is during the day when I am using the phone and the battery is at any particluar level for ex. 45%. And I reboot the phone for any reason. After rebooting the battery level is shown as increased to 50% or any other value. How does battery increase on rebooting the phone?

My theory is that HTC Sensation is unable to read battery level accurately and therefore such incorrect values are reported. BTW this happens on both the stock battery and my current Anker 1900mAh battery.
[HTC Sensation] Prabash:
Hey mate, did this error started to occur after you updated your phone or was it there prior to the update as well?

This situation was there before the update too. Maybe some experts here will give their opinion on this.

Hi 2 all.

I'm trying to install Custom Recovery (TWRP) on my Kindle Fire 6.2.2.

First of all, I installed BurritoRoot3 root, using steps from this video.

After this, I followed steps from this video. I downloaded version 9.2 (not 9.1 as in video) and ADB rooted said "Yes", not "No" as was in video (actually this was a mistake??)

After pressing 5 daemon has downloaded img files and started to install. On step Activating FastBoot program said:

< waiting for device >

And my kindle booted with yellow triangle (see below).

On the video (at 3:15) author's kindle had such screen:

But my kindle had this one:

(there was no button at all).

After this my kindle doesn't boot at all - it stucks at screen with yellow triangle and inscription in the bottom says: press power button for recovery, but when i press it nothing happens. When I hold down it for about 10 seconds device turns off.

Kindle Fire Utility 9.2 now doesn't recognize my kindle at all! After pressing 5:

Thanks it works! Now I can boot normally!

My aim is to install CM7 on kindle fire, but before this I have to install recovery. So how to uninstall root from device to normally install recovery? There's no instructions here. I have uninstalled SuperUser and BurritoRoot3, but KFU still says that my device is rooted. Thanks.
