[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I cam over from Captivate. It had one of those too. I think I remember reading that someone had found that it was for some kind of external antenna but then I think he said it ended up screwing up his phone pretty bad. You might be able to find it in the Captivate forum. I'll see if i can.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DeXel55:
But there are no contacts on the battery cover... are there different battery covers for this phone on the market?

Thanks for that! That's answers my question.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
It's a factory test connector - 50%+ of people who try to use it wind up permanently damaging their phone. There's a tiny little switch in there that disables the built-in antenna, and it's easy to damage this switch and get it stuck in the "no internal antenna" state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Its the LTE antenna.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pham818:
then how come we dont have LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Its not available in your area yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] amtrakcn:
Really? I remember in Captivate it was a ground connector, not an athenna.

Also shouldn't LTE athenna be part of the cellular athenna in bottom? (Moreover we dont have LTE baseband...)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jdbeitz:
I believe there's already a thread about this in i777 unless I'm mixing it you with the captivate as mentioned before. Its some sort of external antenna but it does screw up your phone if you use it. I don't remember details

Sent from my AT&T cellular device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
Can you create me an ice cream sandwich ROM that supports this LTE antenna?
[KIN One and Two General] BloodySilence:
My KIN OneM has a keyboard problem, it is stuck on symbols (and no, not because of the green button) I took my battery out for a day and it still isn't working. Everything else is fine, the keyboard just isn't working how it should. This is my second KIN, the last one had a similar problem to this one and was traded.

Any idea on how to fix it without sending this one in?
[KIN One and Two General] warpurlgis:
Try to factory reset it.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coiso:
Hello all,

Am i the only one that is having problems with the battery life on the galaxy gio?

I charged the phone today at 5 in the afternoon, by 8(3 hours after) 70% of battery, charged it with the wall charger and i rebooted it when the battery was full to close all tasks.

In 3 hours without any wifi, only 1 sms received, no calls and no other tasks was executed i lost 30%.

What can i do to improve the battery?

Are you experiencing any similar problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
You can wipe battery stats, and turn things like gps wifi data autosync unused apps etc off, for some things you need root acces
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LegoGabi:
What rom you have ?

I have problems with battery life too...but because i play games. Is weird because you didn't do nothing like browsing or play games and your battery was eaten.

Try a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Also search the market for PowerTutor, it might be able to help finding what eats your battery, as what you describe this is not normal.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cllimpog47:
If you've rooted your phone you can calibrate your battery. There's an app for this in the market. It just wipes the battery stats file and creates a new one. I've head that it is good with every rom change to calibrate the battery :) Hope this helps! GL! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Actually it's good to flash every new ROM when you have fully charged battery. If you fail to do this you'll have to calibrate the battery and it might not be easy to do right the first time.

SO much easier to flash having full power ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] nvlty:
Battery stats wiping

IIRC google denied that battery stats wiping would actually increase the battery life: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] LastBlessings:
I assume, you have things like WiFi, BT or GPS turned off... Then you maybe might try another launcher. Samsung's TouchWiz is quite a power eater.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
It won't increase battery life, true, but think - when you unplug the charger? When your phone says "100% charged", right? And if your battery starts are wrong the phone may say "I'm charged" when it's actually, say, 40% charged or whatever.

Wiping stats should also provide more accurate battery indicator when it gathers new stats after some usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] nvlty:
In my experience the battery indicator may work a bit odd (e.g. it goes fast to 40% then stays there for ages). But it didn't keep the battery from charging to full, even when it indicated 100% it still kept charging. But to stay in the topic, clearing the stats might help the "dropping by 30% really fast" issue ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] JustVass:
Yup, that's what I was talking about - wiping stats won't improve battery life, but might fix indicator accuracy ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cyberjava:
It could be your background applications eat too much mobile data. Check out your background applications and disable them. Stick with 2G also it improves battery life a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] esilviu:
if the phone and battery are ok, and you don't have Wifi/BT/3G/EDGE/max_screen_brightness/ or high CPU usage background apps, you should get something like in the attached picture:
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Josenhans:
AT least for me CM7.2 really improved battery life up to 2 (TWO) days!

Unfortunately CM9 ruined this again and brought it back for ~8h...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
The z stands for days??
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] SilviuMik:
Yes, is romanian language :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] voetbalremco:
Oh ok..

Z means day, sounds logically.

In dutch we call it 'dag'

Thats kinda good battery life, but also without nearly using your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] sebastian1978:
You can use CM 7.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1381355

It is stable and saves battery better than stock rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] atirox:
Another thing to check is that Wifi is set to disable when the screen turns off or when plugged in... If not, you can loose 50% battery life in 6 hours. (Which i did once. NOT FUN.)

As well, apps that sync in the background. Ie, mail checking your inbox every hour for new mail; facebook, twitter, myspace checking for new notifications every hour; leaving apps using GPS running in the background like Navigation, My Tracks, etc. Those sorts of things can drain a battery really quickly, beacuse it has to wake up the phone, get the phone to get the required data over the cellular network then go back to sleep again, instead of just letting the phone sleep.

Another thing you can do is to make sure you kill apps. IE, don't use the home button to exit the app, use the back button. That will kill the app instead of leaving it running in the background.

Its kinda funny, this is all stuff people have mentioned already, but it seriously can be the difference between a half a day and a whole day on a battery...

I have never in my life read an article with so many words, that is saying nothing. I read it three times just to make sure and .... still nothing, lot of hot air. Motorola you are really making no sense anymore .... what is wrong with you .... not even capable of finding a good excuse anymore .... pathetic, really.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dligon:
no they're saying something that is that they're incompetent.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ~BSOD~:
and with this here is the fall of my beloved giant MOTO in the ring... and gladly i am moving forward with other players here...

I would rather like to have a pretty decent phone with the same (or i can say advanced) hardware and steal and plastic body by HTC or Sony, instead of this ultra cool Kevlar jacket n slim sexy waistline by a company who is continuously yelling at me "I-FCUKED-YOU-AGAIN".

really guys i don't know, firstly there was the greed for money(with the DEV UL edition) for that unlockable bootloader issue, now it i-dont-know-how hardware issue for delayed ICS announcement and lol who knows next time when i might ring up moto's customer care for some hardware issue's then there may be a weather problem(it might be too sunny or too frosty to look at my problem that time).

really hasta-la-vista baby.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nespresso33:
Unlock our bootloader, ICS will come faster.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dligon:
watch next week they will say that they have ICS running on the razr but you have to buy a new razr for it to work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
Motorola...why..do..you..do..this? I own a Motorola Xoom and it's not like this, there is already ICS for US version and EU verison to follow. I am looking to buy a Razr but after reading the forum and now this I am very sceptical. It's good if Razr get the update beyond 4.0

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

LOL I wouldn't be surprised ^^

If only Samsung could release this phone :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kreez:
NOOO.. :eek: if samsung released the RAZR then there would be no "ultra cool Kevlar jacket n slim sexy waistline" as BSOD said.. and it would be "cheap looking plasticky smartphone" instead.. :p

jk.. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milesg:
One of the key features of ICS is supposed to be that it uses hardware acceleration, i.e. it utilises the hardware, rather than the software wherever possible.

Sure, you could get a version of ICS quickly that won't run optimally on the RAZR hardware. But what is the point of that? I would rather give them a month or two more, and have something that utilises the RAZR chipset properly, which will lead to a better user experience and better battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
@milesg

The ICS beta that I've leaked can use HW acceleration just fine (and fast).

The only missing thing is WebTop, but it has even got MotoCast/Blur.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milesg:
Well Webtop is hardware... perhaps they've been having problems getting that to work with the h/w acceleration...

Motorola know that getting ICS onto RAZR and RAZR MAXX will sell a load more handsets, so why would they not be working as hard as possible to get this update ready? They don't have a handset running 4.0, so it's not like they are doing this to push some other new thing, they will be losing money to the Gnex (and the SGSII from March...)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MichaelMcC:
I read it differently I guess. No where in that blog post did I read "no hope" for ICS on the Razr. It made sense to me that Motorola would have to tweek things and then turn it over to VZW and let them add on all their bloat on top of Motorola's bloat. Then all of VZW's different markets have to be tested as well. When will VZW even allow the update is anybodys guess. Maybe VZW has decided they want to sell more Galaxy Nexus phones before releasing ICS on Razr. They may have requested Motorola to just sit on it for now, who knows. But I imagine VZW will do things in a time frame that will put the most money in their pockets, and if that is delaying ICS in the hopes that all of us Razr users will dish out more money and buy the Galaxy Nexus just to get ICS, they'll wait. I expect when the sales of new Galaxy Nexus flattens out, or the pre-purchased supply begins to dwindle, suddenly ICS will show up for several devices.

I tend to blame Verizon more so than Motorola.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
its just moto saying they cant get blur to work on ICS >_>
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
So why aren't they unlocking bootloaders knowing that they will make the GNex sales to CRASH?

....Same reply :P

And anyway, HW acceleration is actually working fine on the current ICS release and the X11 drivers are another whole thing. Even if HW acceleration wasn't working on ICS, it will work on X11.

Oh, obviously I haven't forgot that ICS is based on Linux 3.0 but anyway there isn't any _REAL_ reason for HW acceleration to be not working on X11.

Drivers from 2.6 are easily portable to 3.x and TI has already ported everything. (OMAP Drivers porting isn't Moto's job)

.....have you read what I've written some posts ago?

Blur actually works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] milesg:
A lot more people buy the GNex for ICS than the bootloader - if they wanted a phone that was good for custom ROMs, they have a wealth to choose from.

If they want a phone in Europe or NA that is shipped running 4.0, they have one choice... GNex.

We'll get ICS, I'm sure, but it might take a month or two longer.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
>_> well i mean its not working the way they want it. bloatware and all that rubbish the fill into the blur
[HD2 General] freeridindirtbiker:
Hey all,

So due to an unfortunate accident that left my current HD2's screen broken in pieces, I'm in a predicament.

I pay the 7.99 monthly fee for ACCIDENTAL insurance through Asurion (Bastards I know). With that, the deductible for a new HD2 is 110 bucks which is lower than any other price for an HD2 around my area.

So the big question comes down to: Should I fork out the 110 bucks for another HD2 or choose a different route since the HD2 is out of date?? Ive been really pleased the whole time that Ive had the HD2. Of course there are minor issues with it, but I enjoy having it be one of the most customizable phones STILL today. No phone with T-Mobile really comes close to the HD2 (as far as screen size, customization, etc.) for that price point. Yes, you can get the Samsung Galaxy, the T-Mobile MyTouch, the Radar, and the T-Mo G2x for around 99.99 after all the rebates and discounts.

I'm trying to spend as little as possible at the moment and I don't have enough money to fork out 200+ dollars to T-Mo and to wait for stupid ass rebates. So what would you all do?

If at all possible, Id be willing to purchase a working HD2 from anyone on here who might have an extra one.

Any help is appreciated.

-Thankyou

Sell me your broken one, I am in need of mobo only and get yourself another with the cash + a bit extra... :D

Would you guys say that mobile security apps are worth the storage space? I have the 2 mentioned in the title and was wondering if I need them or are they pointless?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
I use kaspersky but only cause it free with barclays bank
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I wonder if they are pointless though?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TLRtheory:
They are pretty much pointless.

The best use Android virus scanners have had is giving iPhone trolls some content when they try to speak on behalf of a "rampant security threat" that they want to pretend is a flaw of Android when taking advantage of people as oblivious as themselves.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0_face:
Couldn't have agreed more. They say you're a higher security risk if your phone is rooted or if you download apps illegally; but even with my Moto Droid I never encountered viruses, malware, etc... So I found having the 'extra security' was somewhat pointless and a waste of app space.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Will uninstall both now, thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZetanBloodline:
I consider Avast! Mobile Security worth the install space for its Antitheft features alone. I've used a few other standalone antitheft apps, but none I've seen does it so well.

It works best with Root, it disguises itself and hides, you can remotely control certain aspects of your phone via SMS including; SIM whitelist and alert on SIM change, lockout certain areas of the system, complete wipe of phone and SD memory, GPS location.. etc.

While there's never any guarantee that you'll ever get your phone back if lost or stolen, it might just pay to be proactive.

I think it's worth a look:

I use LBE Privacy Guard (it's free, needs root). It allows you to disable certain permissions for certain apps, which is awesome.

It doesn't scan for viruses and malware though. I don't have any app for that since I only install apps that I trust...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozzmanj1:
I have used several security applications. And I would strongly suggest anyone who is concerned about losing their phone and or having it stolen. Cerberus anti theft. It is awesome. The market is a 7 day trial. Then its a one time fee of $2.99. Totally worth it. Lost my phone at a store once. When to the customer service desk, no one had found it. Asked if I could use a computer. Went to the cerbertapp.com website signed in and made my phone take pictures, got the location and made it make a alarm sound. Found it less then a minute later. Fallen out of my pocket while sitting in a recliner and it has fallen in the cushions. Seriously...best app ever.

Since update when phone screen timeout so does wifi. After screen is unlocked it reconnects. Annoying when you want to stream music, and don't want screen on all the time. Tried menu wireless, wifi settings, advanced, never sleep. No dice.

Any suggestions or fix?

I have a Gnex rooted and unlocked - DroidModderX - I'm currently running Android Revolution HD very simple mod, barely has anything changed. This mod is 4.0.2. I have tried installing gummy, AOSP, a bunch of other ones. it always says error installing it. Anybody have any advice. Any way to get my Rogers Gnex to 4.0.3?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doublea500:
does the error say something like a word i think its like outset or something (100% sure this is not the word) then alot of numbers after? that happens with mine too, but the rom installs fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Do you have the latest Clockwork Recovery Mod installed?

Also are you doing a full wipe before you attempt to flash the ROM?

I have seen it say "offset" when I was using the Codename Android ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Biomera:
I did not wipe my cache and data, I was scared that if I did that and it didn't work... I would have to start over again. Download all my programs. configure

Sometimes it doesn't download any of my programs. I restarted it and installed my old OS three times to get it to download my contacts.

I will see the exact thing it says to me soon. thanks guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
You *must* do a full wipe before going to a 4.0.3 ROM. Since your /system is still there, that is what is causing the issue.

However, use the Backup feature in CWM and you can restore it if anything goes bad.

The wipe will knock out your /system, /cache, and /dalvik but will not touch anything on your SD card which holds you photos, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Biomera:
Wish me luck...

I already did a backup - FULL - in Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.

I'm thinking of going with AOKP M3. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

I hope that is enough to get my phone back to the way it was...

I would like to change the Kernel too. Do you recommend any? I was thinking about franco kernel.

Thanks guys :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mutelight:
Good luck!

I have tried three ROMs now and I greatly prefer AOKP the most. Currently I am on AOKP M3 using Faux's kernel but I was running AOKP M3 with Leankernel 1.9.0 with great results.

My battery drain seems a *little* bit more on Faux's but I have only been running it for one day.

Every kernel I try, the battery life improves over a couple days or more so I am going to let it settle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Biomera:
I tried doing the change. I wiped everything that you could choose and it still gave me the same error. Didn't do it. I have no idea what the problem is. I have no idea how to get my phone to 4.0.3. F***
