[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohrab1985:
Since our Tabs never had an official tablet rom (either Honeycomb or ICS) Android Market dosen't know it as a tablet, so we can't download tablet apps from the market.

I wanted to know if we could change our tabs name or not, like by changing the build.prop.

It seems (as I googled it) changing build.prop works with the old market, but what about the new market?

Is this even possible?

Edit:

I changed my tab's name in build.prop to GT-P7500 and now on Android Market (web page) its written GT-P7500 as well, but still it says: "This app is incompatible with your device."

BTW, on Android Market (app), whatever I search, it says "No Result", although the app name is in the suggestion part in the search field.

Edit 2:

Changing build.prop works with the old market. This way I can see and search among tablet apps. I don't know if it works with the new market, because like I said before, no matter what I search it says "No Result", even with the original buil.prop
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidTalk:
I use appbrain to search for apps, it finds the desired app.after clicking on the install button, it opens market app and then i can download and install. Works for me :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffroy:
I changed my LCD density to 120 (which is too small for some but perfect for me) and I can get all tablet apps from market 3.4.4 :)

This is my GalaxyTab. There are many like it but this one is mine.

If, by some kind of freak occurrence I helped you, please hit THANKS!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] craig14:
need your help guys :D

My mates just got a galaxy s and hes locked the phone with the pattern unlock screen, theres no google account registered to the phone because its brand new so there is no other option than to keep trying with the pattern unlock!

Is there a way to factory reset the phone without flashing a new rom whilst in this situation?

If not, where can i find the correct stock rom (not interested in upgrading yet) and the correct version of odin?

Thanks Craig
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Weissi46:
you can boot it into recovery when you shut down the phone and then hold volume up, home and power until the samsung galaxy s i9000 screen appears. then release the buttons, you can navigate in the menu with the volume keys and confirm with home.

I'm currently running a Neapolitan ICS rom that came out a few months ago and I've been having a lot of stability/speed issues with it. Lookign to flash a new ROM but there are so many to choose from.. any suggestion? Most important things to be are stability and speed.. I don't care too much about a fancy feature set.

Thanks in advance

Im running Drew Garens Orca ROM, with matr1x 15.5 and i love it! Very stable
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
any ics rom now would be better than neapolitan since its using a hacked up gingerbread kernel. so i wouldnt even consider it truly ics since its not using a 3.0.8+ kernel.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalitza:
I use bixie rom v.1.0.0 with matr1x kernel v.16 - It's really fast stable and smooth. Battery life is also good (just need to tweak some settings).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
I am running AOKP M3 with franco kernel #15.2, turtle governor, 350/1000 w/ stock franco voltages. I also modded the auto brightness levels to ones of the MID mod. I use WiFi at home; I have set the power saver to switch to 2G after 1m of screen off time. However, I an unable to get more than 2-2.5h of screen on time no matter what I try. I plan to purchase the extended battery, but in the meanwhile what can I do to improve the battery life? I have the GSM phone.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cc16177:
I've tried all sorts of stuff and 2 and a half hours is the most i've been able to get.

In order to do that I was using mostly wifi, auto brightness and I had undervolted as much as possible.

I've tried all different kernels and i've just accepted the fact that with this phone and the way I use it that's as good as it's going to get. To be honest i'm satisfied with that because in order for me to get 2+ hours of screen on time it has to be my day off, otherwise i'm too busy.

Also, i'm pulling 14-16 hours per charge with 2-2.5 hours of screen on time which in my opinion is great. I just want it to last all day and for me it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cythreill:
Try LeanKernel.

I get at least 4 hours battery life with:

Version: GSM GNex

ROM: AOKP Milestone 3 (power saver mode off)

Kernel: Lean Kernel

Battery: 2000 mAh

Frequency: 350/1200 Conservative

UV: Stock

3G/HSPA/LTE: 3G/HSPA and my network doesn't support 2G

What's off: BT, WiFi unless I'm home, Sync for Calender Contacts Browser and Photos.

Brightness: About 40-50%

Daily, I use: Netflix/Poweramp/Spotify/Reddit on my daily commute. Phone/Poweramp/Spotify/Reddit/Browser+ in between commute.

Even without the extended battery like you I would at least get 3.5 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
#1- people getting over 3 hours of screen time are on wifi the whole time, have 4g off, are minimalists with no syncing and no voice calls, or a combination of any of these.

#2 - based on your graph you have a lot of wake locks. Look at how often your phone is awake when your screen is off. That is KILLING your battery life. Disable or uninstall rogue apps, and turn off GPS and location services seems to help with this. Also reduce your amount of sync intervals if you can.

I have stock 4.0.2 unrooted GSM with extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Look at the betterbatterystats for wakelocks; looks like lookout kept half an hour, the rest are mostly sync.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Try to remove all widgets for a while. This can rule things out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
I'm running the exact same thing M3 with Franco 15.2 except I have the extended battery. This is with almost 0 idle time. Literally playing games, rrading forums, texting, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
Sorry posted wrong one. Here is my screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Aww c'mon :( *cry*

I only have the calendar, clock and palmary weather widges (6 hour auto update). As far as I can tell Lookout and Sync are the *****es - literally. But that doesn't solve the idle drain, with the phone sleeping, it seems like 2-3% every hour or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
That doesn't sound right. I have everything running as well. I don't use lookout any longer though. I'm sure if I just did the idle test I can get over a day of on battery time and still reach nearly 5 hours of on screen time. That's mostly Wifi which is suppose to drain more battery life, but I haven't seen the difference from being on 3G. This is a good set up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milyenair:
I don't know if this is important but its a good note, I have not touched the performance settings or done any UV, not experienced enough, but I still produced those results.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] republitarian:
I think you should try removing lookout. Take for example my awake times when screen is off. I sync Gmail, photos,remember the milk, and beautiful widgets.

Also major battery awake drain in beginning of my graph is due to streaming Google music when screen was off so perfectly normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Alright, I will remove Lookout. What alternative do you recommend, in case someone pick pockets my phone? Preferably free or cheap w/ Internet access. I'm thinking of Cerberus, as it'll be impossible for any wanna be thief to remove; I suppose the 3 EUR license is for device, right? Does it persist through ROM flashes (i.e. based on IMEI).

As for WiFi drain, on 3G it would be worse - it's longer range thus it needs more power and if the signal is bad (lucky I get top notch at home, not so at school), it's even worse.

When I get some more cash I'll order the extended battery and a dock off eBay, then I'll have a large main battery and the original one as a reserve.

EDIT: I've added the stats for this day. Better overall, the phone was used more intensively so getting a bit higher screen on time is good. I disabled Google Talk, I see it keeping the phone awake for a significant time, but I never use it. I also get rid of Palmary Weather and switched to the built in app, I'll see tomorrow how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
The screenshots on the original post show sharp increase in battery drain when there is a) screen on and b) no mobile network signal.

In my opinion, these are two if the biggest culprits. The screen is obviously a power hog, especially with max brightness, and the lack of a network signal forces the phone to increase power to the radio in order to find a stable connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Well with the screen there's nothing you can do; A big screen will use a lot of power, a dense screen with use a lot of power, both is even worse. If this were an LCD instead of OLED the battery life with Holo would be horrible. Turning the brightness even lower than my tuned auto levels is not an option - the phone would be impossible to use due to the glossy nature of glass. As for the network, I can't do anything about that - the school building is built from reinforced concrete, that sucks up the signal pretty well and it's downtown, where the signal is already quite shoddy; at home I have a celullar tower 1km away so I get excellent reception, not so downtown.

But I'm not complaining about those. I mean the background activity, mostly the idle wake time. I'll see what I get tomorrow now that I killed Lookout and Talk, those seemed to be two major hogs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Melhouse:
Seems like you have a lot of awake time. Try disabling Maps, Google+ and remove all widgets and test it for a day. If it is better now, you have ruled out signal problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
Is there any way to reduce the interval of Google sync events? (gtalk_async_conn) When I was at home on WiFi I got a sync maybe once every few hours (seen as wake). As soon as I left and turned WiFi off the sync was like every 10 minutes, which is weird, as in the AOKP ROM Control power save settings I set it to PREFER WiFi.

Why do I get a LOT more sync wakelocks on mobile data than on WiFi when the ROM is set to prefer WiFi syncs? O_o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rfox54:
best pattery save I have found is turning off various radios

I use an app Profile that can turn on/off bluetooth and wifi based upon the time of day. So it turns on wifi at 7 PM M-F and turns it off at 6 AM when I leave for work. I get great battery life, and I think it is due to the radios I turn on and off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abjexstallion:
LeanKernel stable... all the way!!... ive tried his OC 1.42/230 but you start feeling the drainage...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Daramue:
Believe it or not, activating wi-fi when I'm at home has actually increased my battery life substantially. No need to even turn it off; at the end of the day, it takes about 2% of your total battery life.

Care to post the "Power saving" app you are using, TC? The one that can activate 3G after the screen turns off? For so long I've been looking for such a powersaving app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
I am aware of Locale and Tasker (even better), but my needs are fairly modest. I turn off WiFi when I leave home, that's it. The AOKP ROM can do other things like switch to 2G on screen off, disable sync, etc.

Thanks for no help. I am interested in using franco's kernel. But this has nothing to do with the kernel anyway, the battery drainer seems to be sync.

Well you should turn it off to prevent it searching for new networks, but if you can use a WiFi network turn it on, it uses less power than 3G/4G (lower range).

It's a feature of the AOKP ROM. Settings -> ROM Control -> Power Saver.

I still have an issue with sync (shows up as GTALK_ASYNC_CONN in BetterBatteryStats) waking the phone way too often. But strange enough, it only does that when on mobile data; on WiFi I get a wake for sync every few hours but on mobile data it wakes it for a few minutes every hour or so, which is even weirder as in the AOKP ROM Control's Power Saver I set it to PREFER WiFi, so naturally I would expect more frequent syncs over WiFi, not mobile data!

Can anyone shed some light on this issue? I bet I'm not the only one with it. Yes, I DO need sync (Twitter/Facebook are on a 4h schedule and only wake for a few seconds; it's the Google sync that's the *****).

EDIT: I've added stats for the last day. I was away from home for a couple of hours and you can clearly that period has some wakelocks (where WiFi is off) whereas the rest of the time is mostly clean.

hi all

My mate wants me to install ICS on his sg2

but when i go to install CF-root the kernal version isnt there..

Its a white T-mobile sg2

Can anyone link me to the Right kernal to root this device plz?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Search the CF-Root thread for the text "Help! Which file do I use?" Should explain what you need to know.

Your stock kernel will be in Intratech's carrier branded firmware thread. Search for your original kernel version (BOKG2) and location. (I'm guessing UK?)

im on mobile so its wierd thanks for the help but any chance u could link me plz?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Really? Even if you're using the XDA app, the search button is easily accessible. And besides which, both threads are available through the sticky in the General section. You could have easily found both in the amount of time it took you to post that message.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stylez:
First of all op when you sign up to XDA you agree to the rules one being to search XDA is a development site and this has been answered over and over no excuse due to tapatalk since every phone has mobile browser and the stickys are still there at top of forums.

Second your use of language is against forum rules anything more like this and infractions will be placed on account....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
that sucks, mine looks 100x better. I only have lightbleed if i squeeze the screen
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] soulctcher:
Your light bleeding is much more severe than what I have on mine...though the people that are disassembling the prime are having high rates of success on reducing the bleeding. You may want to do that if you feel like you're stuck with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
Wow, that is bad. :eek: No, this really isn't how a €599 product should be. I also had a Prime with bad light bleeding, but this is much worse (I had mine returned to the store and got my money back). Why didn't you return it it directly to the store in the first place?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
As I told another member here on xda-devs ~ if you want this sorted and you have tried all the usual channels then go straight to Asus Facebook and post your grievances there.

Make sure you get all the facts ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE and has difficult as it may be you MUST be polite... You don't want to give them an excuse to remove your post.

Basically what you are doing is highlighting the issue to the many who read Facebook. Asus won't like bad publicity and you should see them act upon it.

The last time I gave this advice Asus sent out a replacement without question.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
OP, THaT IS horrible light bleed n one of the worse I've seen up here. In no way should you accept that. I'd say exchange it immediately. Especially if you in return period. The longer you wait. Harder it will be. No software update will fix that. Screws probably tightened too hard down on the screen. Replace ASAP...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
IMHO the best time to buy one of these things from any company, is 2-6 months after release, unless you do want to deal with stuff like this.

If it wasn't for circumstances, I'd have passed on the Prime altogether until the 3rd or 4th generation was released.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Yes I can try again but I'm a little hesistant as I did this already one or two times when I have the normal Transformer. It was after I posted it on facebook that they offered a refund... So I don't know if they will help me again or think "there is that guy again".
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flight777:
Because Paradigit first sends it in for repair and they told me that it would be faster by sending it directly to ASUS than have them do it. So if the store also gets it back as "ok" I don't think they will replace or refund... :(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Go for it anyways. You have more than enough proof. But do like Beards say and do it in a polite n civil manner. If you blast their page sounding nasty they will probably just ignore you then.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
That is pretty bad. My 1st one from gamestop 1st batch had bad upper right corner light bleed which I returned. 2nd one was bestbuy no light bleed but returned after it screwed up something after ICS. My 3rd has very minor light bleed that I cant really tell unless I'm in complete darkness and only during boot up where it shows the eepad logo. I don't notice it at all any other times. I think you need to send it back and also complain about wifi breaking when using bluetooth. I've seen a member here get a new one as replacement after sending it to Asus.

I don't know how they tested your unit but doesnt sound like they tested it correctly. They should be able to see that right away during boot up.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
If the final result ends up being you can't get a replacement or refund, then just check out the ligjtbleed fix thread. Last resort if left no other choice. Most who have tried it fixed their lightbleed. It will involve opening up prime, which is fairly easy, and loosening up screws then tightening them again. Then close prime up and no one could ever tell it was opened so it won't void warranty as there's no proof of tampering if you follow the guide and video. Most lightbleeds occur from screws being screwed too tight on screen or pinching somewhere inside. Others have fixed theirs through the guide.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Beards:
Doesn't matter to them how many times you have been to their Facebook page in the past. What they are more interested in is what is being posted NOW.

Asus will not like to see ANY mention of them performing poorly to a customer. It simply sends out the wrong message to others, especially if they do nothing about it.

It happens all the time in business..... you clear it up quick.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
When I see people complain about light bleed I had no idea it could be like that.
