[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marcus.85:
Hey, I'm still using the default GB from Kies.

I managed to make it usable with Dolphin Companion and Advanced Task Killer after a painful first week of messing around.

Problem was, I have a H3G stupid pos rom with a crapload of useless apps and processes clogging up everything after a couple hours from booting.

Initially I just overclocked the cpu, now it works fine even @ stock 1ghz.

Gonna flash a rom soon tho, CM9 I hope. I was lucky enough to play around with a Galaxy Nexus from a friend and it rocks.

I have noticed that my phone grts VERY hot when watching a youtube video on 4G. Also playing games, and just generally using 4G makes it very hot. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Never noticed much of a temperature increase on my phone.

I can understand it heating up like a laptop when under heavy load. do you have an app that tells you the battery temperature ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Agera:
This happens to me but playing games not so much video streaming... I have battery indicator, drop the notification bar down and battery temp is about 40oc (Aussie metric) so not sure what that is in Fahrenheit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Joy2DaWurld:
Yeah my phone also gets hot occasion, only "very hot" when I'm charging it and it's on my bed or under my blanket. I figure that's due to it not being able to air out properly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] schgittyfour:
i think it is normal for the phone to heat up when multi tasking . my phone gets hot too , it even scares me a little lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Batteries heat up...it's normal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Lets put it this way..

I stopped my car once because I thought my leg was on fire, I jumped out of the car as if I was burning..

Through heavy jeans..

It was my phone (older one)

We are holding high powered devices wrapped in plastic and metal (mostly plastic)

More powerful than many older laptops, WITHOUT any cooling devices..

its normal and will shut down if it get too hot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
I want to share my list of startup items which I use to achieve nearly instant-on. The list is the bare essentials to boot the phone without the CPU hanging at 50%+ usage after boot for more than a minute.

Currently it is as follows:

Android System - Nothing will work without this

Calendar Storage - This is a personal choice because I use the calendar

Google Services Framework - This is a requirement for calendar storage above

Email client (K-9 Mail for me) - This is YOUR email client, not necessarily the Email app that is stock

Media Storage - This is to initialize the SD card

SNS - If you have anything setup apart from a google account, you should initialize this

Superuser - For all apps that require it at boot

That's it for mine, the bare essentials to get your phone booting plain is below now:

Android System - Nothing will work without this

Media Storage - This is to initialize the SD card

Keep in mind, the phone will boot fast with this but you may not have a launcher waiting for you. You probably wont have social networking things working off the bat without opening an app or two. The system will open a lot of other apps because of services installed regardless and since they haven't been initialized, you will have high CPU usage for a while which drains battery REALLY fast.

To give you an example, I disabled Google Framework Provider and when my widget went to grab the calendar list, the provider had to be re-initialized with all the dependencies, took about 5 minutes, ~70% CPU usage, 10% battery.

Try the list, play with the settings and let me know what happens below. Of course I take no responsibility if you rape your phone and it leaves you.

Sweet! thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
I know you can freeze sim tool kit, I believe you can even erase it if you don't switch sim cards regularly. Signal goes away for a second and comes right back, and sticks. Sim toolkit is for switching between different sim cards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Never comes back for me, I'll try it again. If it works out then I will update OP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bacheezy:
Cool. Trying to help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Okay, I stopped SIM toolkit, lost connection as expected. It came back as you described. BUT my data connection died a bit later and never came back, the best I see is edge.

I think we should explore this further.

EDIT: Left it off overnight and now everything is good. I'll update the OP as soon as I find a computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Updated OP with even more bare bones startup.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butikofer08:
So I know the Atrix 4G is advertised as 1GB RAM and I found the below thread for the bionic which explains where this person's "missing RAM" is at...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1262368

but from the research I find about the Atrix, it says that 512MB is for phone uses and the other 512 is enabled in Webdock mode. My question is...

Do any custom ROMS enable the other 512MB for phone use?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
That's not true. When Webdock is not running then it is not using any RAM. Even with a "Stock" ROM the phone shows around 700MB of RAM on the user end. The rest is for the System.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butikofer08:
Thanks for clearing that up for me, Im trying to find the source where I read that cuz my GO launcher says over 900mb total and Android settings»manage applications lists nearly 750mb so not sure what that source was saying, I guess its more likely I miss understood
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
3rd party apps, such as SetCPU or Go Launcher in your case, tends to show the "total" RAM while the "Running Services" in the Settings menu shows the actual availability to the "user". Android, itself, allocates RAM that is not visible to the user and at times is not completely used either.

Here is a informative article to help clear up any other aspects of RAM you might want to know about:

:)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butikofer08:
Wow! What an informative article. I know from first hand experience how task killers bog down your phone, so I don't Use them, buti am guilty of constantly checking the system running applications and freeing up as much ram as possible. I found the "why it doesn't matter"section especially informative.
[HTC Desire S] britannia:
A regular search at Google brings always the same answer to me:

for the Desire S it seems like the writecid command does not work.

I would like to change my Desire S's CID to the HTC one, to receive OTA updates in future.

Does anyone have an update on this topic ?

Thanks,

britannia
[HTC Desire S] britannia:
hmm, no answer so far...

so I assume that there is still no way to do it except maybe a XTC clip

Is it possible to alter the CID to something different than 11111111 using a XTC clip ?

Does anyone have detailed information how a XTC clip works or blu prints ?

Is it possible to un-root and S-On the DS after "XTC clipping" it ?

I'm fine with a stock ROM with HTC CID (for OTA updates). No need for S-OFF and root in my case.

Regards,

britannia
[HTC Desire S] spajdo:
Hi, I don't have detailed information about XTC Clip, but I had somewhere read, that is not possible S-ON after you use XTC Clip.
[HTC Desire S] malkey18:
Same problem here m8,

with my Desire S s-off and rooted also weeks of searching and numerous attempts have failed. Its not looking so good to successfully install a different cid on the Desire s. :(
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Can confirm xtc is one way process

See link in signature for xtc details

Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
XTC clip is a hardware S-off... Just like ben_pyett said, it's a one way road... virtually anything done with an XTC Clip is permanent (unless you have access to a jtag - but let's not go there)

Hi everyone,

I'm using UGKL1 as the radio for my GNex for a couple of weeks now, nothing's wrong but not great :D

I wonder if someone who lives in North America (Bell / Rogers / Fido / T-Mobile, etc ..) has recently purchased a GNex. Does it come with a brand new radio ?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llavalle:
Bought mine on Feb 6th... from Bell. It came with UGLK1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
Sorry, is it UGKL1 or UGLK1 ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] llavalle:
Oops, sorry, typo.

UGKL1, not UGLK1. Same as yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceoesquad:
ok i just udated my radio to ugkk7 and it was way faster in every way at my house i have my tmobile galaxy s2 and i only get 2 mbs on the speed test and my galaxy nexus only gets about 1mbs so ater the update my galaxy nexus gets 7mbs sitting in the same spot thats crazy fast so yet u need to update to the latest

I was using UGKL1 for a bit but find I'm getting better signal with XXKK6.. I'm on TBayTel/Rogers in Ontario

Thanks everyone.

Hope we'll get a newer radio soon.

For now, I'm "happy" with UGKL1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
I'm going to update this thread daily with my battery usage at certain time each day; 5:30PM EST. I pull my phone off my charger each day ~ 7:30AM when I leave for work. I want to see if the battery "breaks in" as everyone seems to agree and I'll record my progress here. I'll plug it in when I go to bed usually around 11 or 12.

For reference, I bought the phone Monday Feb 20 and this is LTE @ work and WiFi @ home.

My usage won't vary much during the work week. Standard text messaging, email usage, browsing FB/Twitter/Web while I poop, you know the routine.

Whenever I see a drastic increase in battery life I'll post up a screenie so you can see my usage statistics, starting with today's as a control.

Items of Note (haha)

On the morning of 22 Feb my phone was at 99% when I pulled it off the charger... Maybe 8 hours isn't enough for a complete charge, which is slower than my iPad?? I did use my old HTC charger so maybe that's to blame... I'll be using the Samsung one tonight.

I apparently only get LTE in certain parts of my building at work. It jumps back and forth between "4G LTE" and "4G". It definitely gets LTE as soon as I step outside.

I'm going to try to use the screen a bit more tomorrow (24 Feb) at least up to ~2 hours and see what that does to my battery life.

Definitely notice a considerable increase in depletion rate when doing anything (YouTube / streaming / web) over LTE.

Had to meet someone today(24 Feb) and ended up waiting almost 30 minutes at Starbucks. Needless to say that time was spent on my phone on LTE using up my precious battery. I did try to use my phone a bit more even before the meeting for things like posting here on XDA (app) and other miscellaneous things. Looks like my battery has hardly gotten much better in the 4 days I've owned it.

(Evening of 24 Feb)Rooted, installed TPC's ROM, Da_G's OC kernel and ran the super charger script. I almost instantly noticed how much slower my battery drops.. I'll run a test on Monday when I'm back at work and I'm very curious to see the difference but I can tell already that it's probably going to double the life.

| Date | Battery % | Screen On | % / hr
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 21 Feb | 21% | 2H1M36S | 7.84%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 22 Feb | 37% | 1H20M55S | 6.27%

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
40 minutes less screen time today, which probably is exactly the discrepancy shown in the %'s at 5:30 when compared to yesterday. I'm definitely hoping this improves over the next few days haha. I hardly used the phone today and it was steady falling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
Rooting = Win Haha. I plan on rooting, but want to give the stock OS a fair shot.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
Updated with today's results. Definitely looking forward to flashing a custom ROM soon. Tomorrow will be my 5th day with the phone and I'll probably at least load TPC for a few days of testing this weekend, then flip back to stock ROM. I'd like to directly compare the percentages between stock and custom. If the2rrel's results are not unique, I'll be very happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
Updated again, battery life has maybe increased by 5-10% over the 4 days since I bought it. I was definitely hoping to see a larger increase.

I appended some updates to the notes section.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Wait. 22 hours and you're still at 58% battery left?! I'm getting between 13-19 hours on a single charge using it normally but 22 hours is nuts. Do you not use yours constantly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
I had three hours of screen time. And im still using it. But Irish said someone may have done some charging. Right now im at 24 plus hours with 3 hours and58 minutes of screen time. With i will say is a lil better than usual.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
Hmmm...I think I'll see over the next couple of days what my screen time on is. I think I keep my screen on a lot because I tend to be on my phone a majority of the day.

But out of curiousity, are you doing anything special to save battery life as far as apps or settings?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Yes brightness is at around 30%. I have system tuner set my screen off profile to underclock to 192 and to use the powersaver govnoner at that time as well. And i have my in call settings set to underclock it to 192 as well so i can about 5 hours + of actual talk time if i have it charged

Is system tuner teh same as SetCPU essentially?

I'm using setcpu as I paid for it years ago and just have kept using it. I have my min set to 350 cause I just assumed much lower and the phone would have shut down issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
I have bought all the cpu apps. System tuner gives me the most options. So i use that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
This with everything in my signature. I'm at about 1.5 hours screen on time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
i'm actually doing a new test today to test display time with using JuiceDefender app with the settings that Maroon Mushroom posted in the "Themes and Apps" sub-forum.

So far I'm at 60% with 2 hours screen time and 4hr 21minute since charged. I think I may actually break the 4hr screen time with this set up!

(As you can see, I value display time more then total time on a charge)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
100% agree, phone doesn't do much good with the screen off haha. I've always been hesitant to use JD just because it seems like (and I read people complaining about) it would actually use more battery managing everything. If you continue to see positive results and break the 4HR mark I might give it a go. I've paid strict attention to ensuring I turn off the screen the second I stop using the phone so my screen usage time is very low.

Not sure how some people are using their phones 3-4-5 hours in a day, when you take it out of context it just seems absurd to be sitting on your phone for that long lol. I certainly never would have thought I used my phone even 1-2 hours a day so oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
Lol yeah.. 3-5 hours a day is absurd when you think about it. Oh well!!!!

I should add... Since its a weekend.. I'm on wifi all day so that definitely should improve screen on time. Will have to test juice defender tomorrow when I'm at work and on hspa+

I noticed this morning when I pulled my phone off the charger it was instantly at 98%. I brought my charger with me to work and topped if off before pulling the plug so today's % will be 1.25 hours behind. I'm not entirely sure what caused that?

I guess when I wake up in the morning I'll start pulling my phone off, then putting it back on the charger while I get ready for work... Might need a voltage script to ensure the battery stays topped up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ranick01:
Mine is always at 97% after I pull it from the charger in the morning.

My battery life is....OK. Sometimes I only have 2 hours or so of screen time and Im at 20% or so after 12 hours. No wifi, gps, or bluetooth on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vellan:
I have the same issue. I shut down the phone and restart it while connected to the charger and, so far, it's showing up at 100% after restarting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Irishwake83:
Updated with today's info. I should also note that I'm running juice defender with Maroon Mushroom's settings. I honestly doubt you'll see much better battery life than what I'm getting now. This thing just does NOT drain when I'm not using it. I recorded these results over the weekend:

I think tomorrow I'm going to intentionally use over 2 hours to really see the difference in screen on time. Right now with similar usage I'm a little over 1% / hr better off than I was on Thursday. All in all, I'd say I'm happy with the life of this battery. I bought the phone a week ago so there's a chance it's still breaking in but I'm not expecting more than .25% increase per hour over what I got today.

There's also a slim chance that I'll ever use my phone more than 2 hours in a day anyway. The reason for so much usage last week was everyone and their mother coming to see what the hell kind of phone I have. Mwahaha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
Nothing is wrong. That is how it is designed to prevent overcharging the li-ion battery. The moment it reaches a full 100% charge it stops then will recharge after a while. If it kept charging the lithium battery trying to keep it at 100% it would overheat and seriously shorten the battery's life.
