[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Nope. It's happened three times now since I've owned the phone and I've not installed anything fishy, nor do I run any monitoring and task manager or battery saving apps. I basically run all Google services, as well as Twitter, Facebook and some games. I haven't recently installed anything new.

Airplane mode did not work, WiFi or Data modes had the same issue and reboots made no difference either. Internet itself works, auto sync keeps working and Calendar, Gmail and Android Market work exactly as expected. But gTalk and push notifications stop working and do not return even in 24 hours.

The only thing that I do know that I do differently from an average user is that I switch SIM card either for every weekend or every other weekend when visiting my girlfriend in Finland, since I'm using a pre-paid SIM there (that also has data connection).

I don't have any sync or push notifications problems when using either SIM and both have an unlimited data plan. But after about 1-1.5 month suddenly gTalk and push notifications stop working entirely.

As a result I am keen to think that this must be about the SIM card switching (it happened after SIM card switch or close to it), but I don't know how to fix this. Phone reset does work, so it is certainly something that has not got anything to do with my Google Account.

I even tried clearing data and force stopping all Google-related services and apps and rebooted then. It asked for my account information and whatnot again, but the connection stayed grey while other Google account related services were running without issues.

It's a serious pain to reset my phone every month or two.

I am convinced that this is a bug in Android and reported it here.

Who cares, unless u used it 24 hrs....

U got 18 hrs of used total, just keep them together and charged while sleeping.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I find that charging via dock using the power strip in my office to take a rather long time while under full load (maybe 3-4 hours). Charging just the tablet via the electrical outlet by my bed or the power strip my PC is hooked into, is generally quite fast.

I also find that the dock charging the tablet when on battery power is rather slow, so I think it's by design. Namely to focus on extending the battery life of the tablet rather than refilling it the way the TF101 dock did. It works pretty good in practice and a full charge of both matches a days work a lot nicer from a wear leveling perspective than the TF101 does.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
You're right. Thanks for the useful and well thought out answer.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] irishtexmex:
Thanks. This is right in line with what I've experienced. I had a Samsung GT10.1 before this, and that one took an inordinate amount of time to charge.

Hey guys,

I am wondering if there is a way to simulate a sim card on a cdma phone. I got a used Samsung fascinate I500 from verizon. It's a cdma phone without a slot for a sim card. The phone is rooted already and running team hacksungs android 4.0.3. There is no use for a cdma phone in Europe.

I know there's a solution the other way - using a gsm phone in a cdma network....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aamir123:
So I've been lurking on the prime's forums for a while now and noticed the debate of whether the new qualcomm dual core will be better or the current tegra 3 that the prime has. Obviously if both were clocked the same then the tegra 3 would be better. Also I understand that the gpu of the tegra 3 is better. However, for normal user (surf web, play a movie, songs etc) isn't dual core at 1.5 ghz better in that an average user will rarely use more 2 cores? The way I understand it each core is able to handle 1 task so in order to activate the 3rd core you would have to have 3 things going on at the same time? Could someone please explain this to me?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
First of all, the tegra 3 can go up to 1.6 ghz. Secondly, all 4 cores can be utilized by a multi threading app. Lastly, battery is great on tegra III due to teh companion core.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aamir123:
But the native clock for that qualcomm would be 1.5 meaning o/c can take it higher. Also doesn't being dual core compared to quad core give it an edge in battery? You do bring up a good point with the multi threading app. Also to clarify I am not standing up for the qualcomm chip or putting down the tegra 3 just trying to get things straight.

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Hey I'm the ....idiot aboard here....lol

But the tegra 3 has a companion core, being a fifth core, to take over when the tablet is not stressed. Thus saving the battery.

I am just repeating what I have read, I have no knowledge of how it all works. I guess that is how we can get better battery life.

Just trying to help the OP, maybe some one way smarter can chime in. Shouldn't be hard....lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Quad core is better by far. On low level tasks, simple things, and screen off/deep sleep the companion core takes over. Meaning its running on a low powered single core. This companion core only has a Max of 500Mhz speed. So when in deep sleep or low level tasks, companion core alone is running everything at only 102mhz -500Mhz. Most of the time on the lower end. Therefore tegra3 has the better battery life since all it's low power level tasks are ran by a single low powered companion core. That's 1 low powered core compared to 2 high powered cores trying to save battery. Quad core better all around. We hsvent even begun real overclocking yet. The 1.6Ghz speed was already in the kernel. So if you rooted n using vipercontrol or ATP tweaks or virtuous rom, we can access those speeds at any time. Once we really start overclocking higher than 1.6Ghz we will have an even more superior advantage. Anyone knows 4 strong men are stronger than 2..lol. tegra3 and nvidia is the future. Tegra3 is just the chip that kicked down the door on an evolution of mobile chip SoC.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:06 PM ----------

If you really want to learn the in and outs of tegra3, all the details, and how its better than any dual core, check out this thread I made. I have a whitepaper attachment in that thread you can download and read. Its made by nvidia themselves and goes into great detail on tegra3 by the people who created it, Nvidia. Check it out.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
The maximum clock speed isn't all that important, since during tasks like web browsing, watching videos & movies and listening to music you will never push the processor to its highest available clock speed anyway. All mobile devices will underclock their processors so that you rarely have unused clock cycles eating up battery life. So all things being relatively equal performance would be about the same between both tablets during these types of lightweight tasks.

If you have a lot of background processes running, then the quad-core system might have an edge in performance since theoretically different tasks can be pushed off to different processors. However this use case is rarely found in Android. You might have an app checking weather or syncing photos in the background, or you might have music playing while you web surf, but those are generally fairly lightweight tasks that usually won't test the processor performance of your device.

In tasks that will stress you processor, such as 3D gaming, then quad cores have a very large advantage over dual core systems, despite the slight difference in maximum clock speeds. In addition the Tegra 3 has a more powerful GPU than the new Qualcomm chip, which will definitely make a noticeable difference in gaming performance.

Now when it comes to ultra-low power tasks or when the tablet is on Standby, the Tegra 3 uses its "companion core" which has incredibly low power requirements, so it can continue to sync your email, twitter and weather updates for days (or weeks) while having very little impact on the Transformer Prime's battery.

So in short, the Tegra 3 is more likely to outperform the Qualcomm in situations where you actually need extra performance. In light tasks performance between the two should be about the same. Battery life is yet to be definitively determined, however the Tegra's 3 ultra-low power companion core should give it an edge when only doing light tasks or on standb.

Keep in mind, the Tegra 3 in the TF Prime has a maximum clock speed of 1300Mhz. One core has a maximum clock speed of 1400Mhz. If all things were equal, a difference of 100-200 Mhz n a 1Ghz+ processor is practically unnoticeable in daily usage.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aamir123:
Wow! Thanks for taking the time for breaking it down for me like that! I understand exactly where your coming from and now have to agree.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dave_S:
At least that is what Nvidia would like you to think.:D

The Tegra 3 uses an older ARM core for it's quad core design while Qualcomm uses their own ARM instruction set compatible core for their Krait S4 design. For most current benchmarks the Qualcomm Krait S4 dual core seems to outpace the Tegra 3 by quite a large margin. And of course Krait will be expanded to quad core later this year.:)

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5563/qualcomms-snapdragon-s4-krait-vs-nvidias-tegra-3
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
There's already another thread on what you just mentioned and the Krait claims were easily shot down. Tegra3 still a better chip overall. Plus krait gpu was subpar to tegra3. We have more links and stuff in other thread showing Prime still right up there ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dave_S:
As unlikely as that seems considering the slower cores that Nvidia uses, links to real benchmarks ( not self serving white papers ) would be appreciated. I have glanced at your Tegra3 thread but have not read it all the way through after I saw that it seemed to depend a lot on a white paper and not real comparison tests. It is true that the current GPU the Krait uses is not as fast as the one in the Tegra 3, but graphics is only one element of overall performance. The only benchmarks that I have seen Tegra beat out Krait on were benchmarks that emphasized more than two threads, and then not by much.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Its not my tegra3 thread I'm talking about. I think its the Prime alternatives thread created by shinzz. We had a huge debate over it. More benchmarks n supporting arguments in that thread. Check it out if you get the chance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dave_S:
Thanks, Will do. Gotta run for a doctor appointment right now though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buddy Revell:
I frankly think the power savings with the fifth core is mostly hype. According to many battery tests I've read online and my own experiences with my Prime, it doesn't get much different battery life from dual core tablets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jedi5diah:
Quad core is better for future but problem for backwards compatibility... it's definitely good for tablet.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dave_S:
Here is another benchmark that shows that there is a least one current dual core that can soundly beat the Nvida quad core at benchmarks that are not heavily multithreaded.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
No dual core android tablet battery last longer than an ipad1. My prime easily outlasts my Ipad in battery life. The battery hype is real. Tons of people here seeing 9-11hrs+ on a single charge with moderate to semi heavy use on balanced mode. Even longer on power savings mode.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Really? I get 9-12 hours constant use on balanced. Plus 6 more with the dock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aamir123:
I think if Krait were to come out with quad core then it would beat out tegra 3 otherwise no. Also they are supposed to improve the chip with updated gpu to 3.xx in future releases. Also benchmarks have been proven to be wrong in the past so who knows? Not like benchmarks can determine real life performance, nor does the average user need that much power.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] James Harrison:
Companion core really does work

Strange, we just started uni here (Australia) and I've been using my prime all day, showing it off to friends (to their absolute amazement!) showing off glowball, camera effects with eyes, mouth etc. 2 hours of lecture typing, gaming on the train, watched a few videos and an episode of community played music on speaker for about 40 mins, webbrowsed etc etc started using at lightly at 9 am (only properly at say 1:30 pm) and it's 10:00pm now and GET THIS!!:

72% battery on tablet and 41% on the dock. It's just crazy man. No joke, it just keeps going, I can't help but admit the power saving must be real :/

Edit: Whoops, I quoted the wrong guy, but you get the idea.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
That's what I'm saying. Battery life on prime is great. Add a dock n battery life is sick!

I do agree a quad core variant of krait or S4 will give tegra3 a really good battle. Regardless I'm more than satisfied with power of tegra3. I'm not the type as soon as i see a newer or higher spec tab, ill feel like mines is useless or outdated. With have developement going hard now for this device. Just wait till the 1.8-2ghz+ overclock roms n kernels drop. Then we would even give new quad core higher speed chips a good run.

Above all of that, Android needs to developement more apps to take advantage of the more powerful chips like tegra3 and those that's upcoming. Software is still trying to catch up to hardware spec. Android apps haven't even all been made yet to take advantage of tegra2 power..yet lol. With nvidia/tegra3 we have advantage because developers are encouraged to make apps n games to take advantage of tegra3 power.

Regardless we all Android. Need to focus more on the bigger enemy, apple n IOS ;)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
I'd consider the Tegra 3 a better chip unless the new Qualcomm turns out to offer a noticeably different generation of technology (it doesn't from what I've seen). So the real plus for most people here is just that the GPUs will probably be more common place with what's in cell phones, instead of paying extra for THD versions.

I find nVida's 4-plus-1 architecture interesting but think I rather prefer something more conventional, like the dual cored Tegra 2 when it comes to battery conservation as a primary task. That has been my first hand experience with the TF101 and TF2011 at least. When I first heard about the details of how Tegra 3 works I was rather worried it would just be a stutter factory, now I just wish Intel or AMD would do something similar with a netbook or ultrabook. It would make a real difference there IMHO. For Android on a tablet, I don't think Tegra 3 can quite match what is possible with a more conventional dual or quad core design, as much as this 4-plus-1 is likely better suited for a PC style usage that will spend less time without work for keeping the companion core busy. In practice though it does work fine, and my ATP is sure as hell no stutter factory.

At raw power, my primary concern is how long it takes me to compile code and what performance budget it can offer a game. So I have an interest in keeping Tegra 3's extra cores as long as the battery life stays competitive with other offerings. Haven't had time to try something big like compiling POCO but Tegra 2 250 was a real slouch at big compile jobs. What I want is the Logan and Stark series Tegra chips!

When ASUS releases the Infinity it seems we will get the option of a higher powered Tegra 3 than what the ATP is setup for, or a Snapdragon S4 with a modem. The purposed battery life and modem for the Krait might make it worth many peoples money over the Tegra 3 version. Especially if we see e.g. a release of it on big red here in the states. If it gets 4G on little magenta, I'd even be tempted if it still surpasses Tegra 2 for processor heavy tasks, and it should blow it away.

Just get what serves best for what you do, or throw money towards the highest price tag. All the rest is just for being a strutting peacock.

Funny, I could smell the slant enough to wonder who wrote this before I even hit 4 strong men, and sure enough scrolled up and it was you.
