[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] idipous:
Well, since I am will be using it in situations that the less I carry the better (i.e., borring army service) I would rather use the stick. Still I didn't know about the hotspot. Good to know they exist.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Sw339:
How would you connect the stick?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Montisaquadeis:
if you are carrying around a rooted android based smartphone you can always tether your nook to that for 3g
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pfalcon:
OMAP4430 CPU, whick Nook Tablet has, supports USB OTG, so could act as the host for 3g stick. However, there're many obstacles on that way:

1. There may be few USB ports in OMAP, not all having OTG capability, and it's unclear which is connected externally on NT.

2. I personally yet have to see a microUSB to USB female cable, if someone has a link, I'd appreciate it.

3. You most likely would need to recompile kernel to enable OTG support as well as drivers for 3g modems.

4. Would need 3g connection app on your Nook (suppose the easiest, as there should be few for Android).

So, it may be too complicated if you just look towards using it at once, but for should would be a fun hacking project ;-)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] idipous:
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I guess it did not occur to me the whole tethering deal (probably because nook is the my first android powered device). I guess I will go with that option once I get a new android phone.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bigbug2428:
I heard Nexus 7 had chance to connect 3G OTG, will the nook tablet have any chance?

Hi all,

May i know where i can download Fast ROM for Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G ? I'm from Malaysia. Your kind help will be much appreciated. Thank you all.:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
There is ICS Kang or Overcome ROM, Both are good each with it's own downside.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonelycount:
for new stuff, you can go to the ICS Kang.

for performance, you can go to Overcome series

but before u do any of these above, did u root you tab yet?

because simply u just cant install any without root access :-p
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] zorlin:
Based heavily on TeamICS' work on HeroC, here is some very early initial work on ICS for the HTC Kovsky, AKA Sony Xperia X1. Built from AOSP source, with source available.

This is NOT for the faint of heart, and as far as I know nearly everything is broken right now. Instructions for building are coming soon - meanwhile, source is available at https://github.com/Zorlin with bits from https://github.com/CyanogenMod and https://github.com/TeamICS

Credits:

- TeamICS for all their ridiculously awesome work on Hero/HeroC

- CyanogenMod team, on which some TeamICS work is based.

- IceDroidV2 for the installer and current (slightly modded) kernel/boot.img - see IceDroidV2 thread for appropriate credits and source.

Currently working:

- Boots!

Currently not working:

- Everything else

- ADB :(

Notes:

boot.img is made from applying the ICS porting guide to IceDroidV2's boot.img

Currently there's a "hack" to attempt to get adb working - I threw in a copy of busybox as /system/bin/sh. Need to work out a better way, since it really didn't work...

I've got a bunch of ideas, but it's late, so... here:

Is it really ICS or just some skin for android 2.3 ?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Brickpsp:
X1 long live :D
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] zorlin:
It's really ICS, which is why so little works. Gingerbread kernel for now, though.

[XPERIA X1 Android Development] wallaceff:
Do you really think you have enough background knowledge to get this off the ground? Or is it more of a "lets see what I can do" thing?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] zorlin:
Yes and no. I think I can bring it to the same state as HeroC, maybe sans camera, and port hardware acceleration if/when they get it working. Kernel isn't my forte, though. At the moment adb is a major and confusing stumbling block... I'm missing something stupidly simple.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] mahmoodifar:
can we install it or it's not ready yet

I installed it that we install IceDroid v2 but nothing happened

It was stuck in android boot
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] zorlin:
You install IceDroid V2 first and then overwrite it... but no, at the moment this is just for developers and tinkerers.

I will try to make something based on @Zorlin sources from #1 post. At all, probably He have own things to do so that is why He not respond.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
Your signature shows that you have a own kernel for NAND for X1?

What is working etc? maybe you could share it, when it has benefits to the current published ones

EDIT: maybe you could join zargloub and midnight for kernel dev?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] fergy:
Hello @neoofoox.

Working everything except camera, fm radio and bluetooth (atm working on kernel to see where is problem).

Charging/discharging (at last I think it is ok as phone discharge within 20 hours->3.5 yrs old battery<- using push, wifi, bluetooth and location with 10-15 minutes of talking)

Also, phone wake asap You press power, ok or lock button (also with double security using pattern after normal unlocking)

I also don't think that this is right thread for something other than ICS work conversation.

When I got all things working proper, be sure that will make an new thread with image and patches to kernel.

BR,

Ramon

EDIT: Yeah, I will be happy to talk with @zargloub and @midnight regarding kernel.

EDIT2: Regarding sharing, I use only main system of Cyanogen but My own kernel, so as I say, until kernel completely work, I will not share it because of lot's of questions what users cannot fix until I fix holes inside kernel.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] Pete Rask:
@fergy Last question ot jooc :p Does your phone reboots if you miss a call?
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] zorlin:
Sorry guys, I might be retiring my Kovsky... I'll publish build instructions and sources etc either way. If you don't hear back from me, assume I retired it :(

I'm getting fairly hopeful that you'll get decent ICS on the Kovsky soon though.

EDIT: Yup, it's official. I turned in my Xperia X1 in exchange for a free, off-contract Samsung Focus S (which I'm reselling) through the recent Microsoft promotion. I'll still have it for a week - I'm going to try and get ICS on it before then, but I don't really know what chances are like.

After that, I'll turn this over to someone else who can hopefully carry it through.
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] neoofoox:
With these things working it is working perfectly, who need wifi if you can use mobile Data to access Internet and who needs bluetooth if you can send files via Email or connect your Phone via headphone port to your soundsystem etc..

I would test that if it becaume available and will report every bug etc. You could choose some people for testing which know something about that / for reporting bugs. So you can fix them and make the kernel 'perfect'.

Zargloub stopped developing and he has his files on gitorious so you could merge the kernels, here is working bluetooth and wifi (but it shows bad signal strenge)

Are you on github or gitorious so other devs can see what you are doing and maybe can help or people see what you are working on now.

I would love to test it, because for me it is allready perfect ;) I hope we read something from you soon. You are our last hope :)

EDIT: sp3dev was also working on kernel you can get the sources here and here

EDIT2: I asked sp3dev if he would help, but he cannot for 2 reasons, first he has currently no time, the second reason is that he don't want to work on project which are close-source. Maybe you should think about releasing that before it is completely finished or make it open-source. Your device is old and that slow down the process a lot.

[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
As a regular trackball user on desktops, I've been looking for a Bluetooth one to go with the Tablet S to give me a bit more precision for tasks like text editing. Unfortunately apart from one very hard to source and expensive Mac targeted device my search has been fruitless.

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a mouse and would just like to recommend Dell's mini 5 button Bluetooth travel mouse.

It's length is just under half the screen height of the Tablet and is black/silver, so slightly smaller than a regular mouse and matches the tablet well. Using 2 AA batteries it paired straight away and only requires about an inch of movement for the pointer to traverse the whole screen. It also wakes the tablet up on movement. Scroll wheel works but the browser back & forward and right mouse button don't. If anyone has any tips for an app that would allow for these buttons that would be great but otherwise picked up for less than £20 I'm a happy bunny.
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
Cool. The ones I have used require a USB plug in.
[Sony Tablet S] cuts103:
Tthere are others without usb recievers but i read on another forum if u use it u cant use sony's bluetooth keyboard simultaneously is that true?
[Sony Tablet S] jameslindsey:
Not sure I'm afraid, the on screen keyboard is good enough for my young slender fingers. :)

If it's a multiple bluetooth device issue I'll try it out with my PS3 controller tonight and see if both work together.

Here's the mouse anyway.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
it doesn't really matter if you leave the GPS on. as long it is not being used it wont matter.

done trial and error with that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
Why don't you just turn the phone off and not use it or sell your infuse and get a Nokia flip phone. I bought my phones so i could use them. People worry about battery life too much.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Axiomkid:
I would advise you look to see if any Games you have aren't running as a background service, if you have a game that is then it needs to be deleted cause no game needs to run in your background. All games should Exit completely when you close them.

For those who hate ads during free games and apps and hate them getting in the way, Simple: Turn off Data and Wifi, As long as no internet is communicating with the phone no ads will show up and waste bandwidth as well as battery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
"Switching Phone off" is not good idea as it will consume more battery during turning on-off process. I will recommend to use Airplane mode. :D

This is a great tutorial... don't listen to the smart ass comments, if they used have the stuff you have in here we devs would get the "my battery life sucks!" Posts all the time... and yes even if your not using GPS, the radio is still scanning for GPS, so your trial and error was not complete... just cause you don't see it, doesn't mean its not running, believe me it is... great job on this tutorial bro, keep up the good work!

Battery Life

Using some of these, and other battery extending tricks, I was able to pull an astounding 5 days 51 minutes out of my infuse. Running Dman's ZEUS 5.2 rom with KJ3 modem. I installed a battery app about day 3 maybe 4, and don't think it was a HUGE help, but it did help to do some conservation. Med to light use of the phone, and a stock battery.

:D Rule #200. Pictures or it didn't happen. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MyLittleBrony:
And I thought 2.5 days was good... Well done.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xDa.Fun:
Have you left the phone in standby mode or ever used it in 5 days. :D

(it also be achieved by without fully charging the phone ;))

but congrats to you for your achievment. We also like to know how you done that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] westshotgun:
Over 5 days? my god have you even used the phone?

My record is only 2 days and I thought I had monster battery life :p
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
Nothing extremely over zealous. WiFi sleep policy was set to when screen off. GPS was on all the time, cell data was off all the time. The last 12 hours or so I used longevity beta from the market. I made sure that if I used my phone to open the task manager and clear the ram and used the back key to exit anything, and hit the power key to lock my phone when not in use. Even had the new Facebook installed for 2 days (that DID impact battery). Screen rotate off, screen at minimal brightness unless needed, No under volting, however I did do my best to not use my phone unless I had to (answer calls, send/reply to texts. I did some web surfing but not much, and some music streaming from iheartradio. Important to note that you have to change the wifi scanning to off. I will edit this as I think of more that I did.

Samsung standard battery

ZEUS 5.2 ROM

KJ2 Modem

NEVER charged, even to transfer data (did that via bluetooth)

Ask any questions you wish, but please be specific, as I am not very sure exactly what I did to get this kind of life. lol But now I plan to see how much I can get out of it as I just got a 2200mAh battery. I plan on a odin to stock, and reload but with ZUES v6 with LB3 however it will take a week to regulate the battery, so I wont have any new data until next week. I also will have my children home from spring break this week, and that wont leave me much time to play with my phone. But I will make sure to reinstall XDA on my phone and it is on my kindle, so I will check back often for questions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] deathblade:
dude you must have some special power over the battery to do that, or scared it into lasting that long lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
I just remembered they key element in getting MASSIVE battery life... took me a bit to figure it our again. I removed go launcher, and was using lpp but that was even worse... then I installed tsf shell!! Takes some getting used to, but way worth it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] juvi77:
I'm running Zeus 6 and I was having issues with Go Launcher EX losing my icons so I stopped using it and immediately saw my battery life shoot through the roof also. I just reached 2 full days since I stopped using it and I still have 79% of my charge left. There definitely seems to be some validity to Go Launcher EX being a battery drainer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
Did you go back to touchwiz? Or some other launcher? I have tried about 12 launchers and tsf shell seems to have style, function, and is not too taxing on the battery...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] juvi77:
Yup. Thats all I did at the moment since I have't had a lot of time to mess around with trying out other launchers. I was also told to try uninstalling Go Launcher and then reinstalling it from the market. Haven't tried that out yet but may give it a whirl this weekend. I would try tsf shell but I'm not looking to spend $16.00 on a launcher just yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] kirbee213:
I would say wait on the tsf for a few more versions when they release the customization options. Right now there are not many Widgets, and no resize. But after that, 16 bucks ain't bad when you think about it. How much did your last legit CD cost from the music store or iTunes? Or last month's Netflix bill... and none of them really helped your phone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MaliciousIntent69:
Following some of this guide and tweaking a few settings myself, I've been getting a good 2 to 2 1/2 days of battery time from fully charged to 1%. Running Zeus Build 6 with the ICS theme. Good stuff :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] eghoti1:
I had an Infuse when it first came out, loved it but the battery life was killing me. I couldn't get through 6 hours with barely any use even with a custom kernel. I switched to the Note when that dropped. I now have another Infuse as my backup phone because I love the feel and design (squared corners) but still found battery life to suck. However, I did 2 specific things from this list and I noticed a HUGE difference, too bad this wasn't around at first. The two that helped me where to freeze all the AT&T bloatware (minus the hotspot locator I need) and use wifi when possible. My battery usage is now on par with my Note, maybe better which is amazing. Seems like AT&T bloatware is a big culprit with battery usage. 4G is a killer but we already knew that, just not to the extent the Infuse shows.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cacattack21:
The one thing I have never had an issue with is the battery life on the Infuse and I leave wifi, gps, auto-sync and all the stuff you need to use a phone when you want to use your phone on. I get 20-30 hours all the time and use the phone all the time.

How are you running everything all the time and pulling that much battery out of the infuse. It's almost impossible. WIFI on 24/7 is never idle same with GPS.
