Hey so I listen on average about 2-3 hours of music per day and for whatever reason, all my music players drain my battery like crazy, around 10% for every 30-60 minutes. I do have an equalizer enabled but I don't feel like it should be consuming so much power. As of now, I have been using PowerAmp, MIUI player, Google Music, Winamp, and the stock HTC player. Any suggestions?
[HTC Sensation] Firestarter_Aus:
I like CM9 music player. I don't use it as frequently as you though and haven't really tested it in terms of drain.

I'm not usually switching between tracks too much and I have my screen brightness down so I think it's more of the actual music player's fault than the screen.

Does the slider below indicate the maximum brightness the screen will go to with automatic brightness enabled? Or does the auto override the slider??

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Automatic overrides the slider. Max brightness on auto is... well... max brightness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MrBig0:
Try the app "screen filter". It makes auto-brightness a modifiable percentage of what it would be otherwise.

[General Questions and Answers] Hyperstat:
Hi all.

I'm attempting to root my phone via ZergRush's one click root. However I am on linux and i do not have a usb cable.

I downloaded the android-sdk for linux and have set up ftp/ssh on my Zte score. The problem is whenever I try to adb connect 10.10.0.25 adb does not connect with the device. I can ping my phone from my computer so it's reachable. If I try adb connect 10.10.0.25:2121 (FTP PORT) or 2222 (SSH PORT) it connect but outputs: "Device offline" and I can't run any successful commands.

I heard ssh tunneling is possible and would like to know if anybody knew the exact steps. I've tried:

# ssh root@10.10.0.25 -p 2222 -R 5555:localhost:5037

and

# ssh -NR 5555:localhost:5037 root@10.10.0.25 -p 2222

The latter connects through ssh but adb doesn't connect through the tunnel. The former outputs "Connection closed by remote host"

I checked the open ports on my phone and noticed 5555 isn't open so that means i must open it with setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 which I tried but still doesn't work. The command does go through though.
[General Questions and Answers] Hyperstat:
Appearantly, setprop didn't work as getprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555 outputs nothing.

Is there any way I can enable adbd to listen on my phone? I got a ssh and ftp shell up and running w/o root.

/mnt/sdcard $ getprop | grep adb

[persist.service.adb.enable]: [1]

[persist.radio.adb_log_on]: [0]

[persist.adb.trace_mask]: [1]

[init.svc.adbd]: [running]

It doesn't show service.adb.tcp.port so I can't set it. Is there a way for me to create this key? Help will be much appreciated! =)

EDIT:

Is there a way for me to chmod without root or adb? I tried chmod 777 exploit but it outputs permission denied. I'm going to see if I can change permissions some other way.
[General Questions and Answers] Hyperstat:
Anyone?

No luck googling for an answer.

Should I just wait and get a data usb cable?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Today, AT&T has finally become somewhat less unreasonable with regard to their throttling policies!

So, if you're an unlimited data user suffering from stupid throttling woes at usage less than 2GB in a billing cycle, you can breathe a slight sigh of relief. But here's a little tip if you think 3GB still isn't reasonable enough for you:

Go to your local AT&T store and get the IMEI from one of their LTE Note display units by dialing *#06#

Then, call customer service and let the agent know that you bought an LTE Note from on the internet or some other third party, and request that your service be enabled for LTE usage. Specifically, that your SOC code be changed to LTEDPPB. They will ask you for your device's IMEI. Provide them the IMEI you got from the display unit.

Now, you can continue to enjoy "unlimited" data, and not have to worry about running into any speed limits until 5GB instead of 3!

Enjoy!

P.S. APN's that work on this new plan:

pta

Phone

wap.cingular

Google those APN's for the proper settings, and you're all set!

P.P.S. Don't use the "Broadband" APN, because that's used only for tethering, and that would raise red flags on your account. Not sure it would work anyway. You should still be able to tether just fine with any of the other APN's though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mahboob2t:
I have unlimited plan, but i bought the international copy which H+

Should I do anything?

I use tethering apps a lot!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JFizDaWiz:
I'm on that data plan and you can still get throttled but I'm assuming you now have more options for APN switching
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Richy99:
so basically you are spoofing the imei to circumvent their system and enable you to defraud them
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Note_E:
Who is defrauding who? Exactly...thanks OP
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eikiel:
Ha ha ha, good point! If they are going to throttle why can't they at least make it the same amount across the plans?

Does anyone know if this causes a change to the agreement? IE we lose any rights over law suit from the old plan? I don't like suing but I like knowing that I CAN and I like them knowing people HAVE sued
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
I'm using the "broadband" APN, but that's because I'm using a Unlimited iPad SIM. I don't think this will work for me. I guess I could use a IMEI from a LTE tablet such as the JetStream?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
First of all, you don't need to use any apps on your international Note in order to tether; tethering is baked right into your wireless settings by default.

Secondly, whether or not you want to do anything is up to you. If your account is currently on a non-LTE unlimited plan, then you will automatically get 3GB of un-throttled usage starting at your next billing cycle. If you think that's enough for you, then you don't have to do anything. If you want more, you can give yourself 5GB instead of 3 by doing what I described in the OP.

The LTE plans simply provision you access to the LTE APN (pta), which works on both HSPA+ and LTE. I mean, it has to, because if you had an LTE phone and were going through an area without LTE coverage, it would fall back to HSPA+ for service instead. Since the international Note doesn't have an LTE radio in it, it's just going to use HSPA+.

I suppose the added bonus is that when unlocked LTE phones do eventually come around, especially ones compatible with US frequency blocks, you won't have to make any changes to your account then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
This is a data-only plan correct? I'm not sure how AT&T's new policies affect those kinds of plans. I suppose, theoretically, the same process could work by using the IMEI of an LTE AT&T tablet. I don't know for sure though. You could always pioneer this for us and report back! ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
This is a similar process as to what people had to do with their imported Galaxy S2's in order to get HSPA+ to work properly. Basically, we had to get the IMEI of one of AT&T's HSPA+ devices (like the Infuse 4G) and use that to provision our accounts properly. The manual input of the IMEI is only temporary anyway; the system automatically re-updates with your unlocked device's IMEI once you reboot, so there's really no spoofing going on here. It's more of an administrative thing than anything else. If I called in to customer support right now and politely asked to have my account provisioning modified or changed to a slightly different plan, the rep would ask me for my IMEI, I would give it to them, and they would see that it is unlocked, not classified in AT&T's database, and I would be told "Sorry, we don't officially support this device, there's nothing we can do..." And that's true, because their system shows available account features based on the classification of device, and for unlocked devices, they're unclassified.

As for defrauding AT&T for an additional 2GB of un-throttled data, I'm not defrauding them any more than they are defrauding me out of the unlimited, unrestricted, non-throttled service that I signed up for originally. Nor am I defrauding them any more by using an unlocked tablet device as a phone as well (the 7.7 is my daily driver), thus saving myself from either having to pay for an additional data line, or getting rid of my unlimited data and purchasing an additional tethering option.

I am not going to be a passive consumer. I am not afraid to stand up to big corporations and be aggressively thrifty with them, especially when they are aggressively greedy with us. If you don't fight back, they're just going to keep gouging you for everything you have until you eventually reach a point where enough is enough. I already reached that point long ago, and more and more people are getting there now. Corporations are always pushing the consumer's spending boundaries, until they cry "uncle." All I'm doing here is encouraging people to fight back, and cry uncle even sooner and more aggressively. I mean, that iPhone guy in California did it and won! Thanks to him (possibly), we're now no longer going to be throttled into oblivion at least until we reach more reasonable thresholds.

Moral of this story:

Corporations are greedy and amoral, and will bend whatever rules they can get away with to get more money out of you. They have no honour. They don't care about you. They care about the bottom line. They care about making money off of you. They don't care if they have to do morally or ethically questionable things to get more money out of you, as long as they can get away with it.

So stop defending them. Stand up for yourself and your fellow consumers. Band together and fight back!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
As long as you aren't in the middle of a flash, yes. Although you may have to put it back into download mode to make it be recognized, I'm not sure. To abort, just pull out the battery.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golabosa:

But I don't suggest doing that.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
I thing you can press power+volume up/down like if you go to recovery I think that would work don't turn it off cause that's how I got mine in USB+computer disconnection mode which I could have to put it back to download mode and then flash a ROM to come out of that....

i got this samsung galaxy s captivate from a friend because they "couldn't fix it" (i.e. were too lazy to actually go to the store or return it).

ANYWAYS. when i turn it on / press the power button the screen says "Firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode"

anyone know how to fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
1. Download any one click Odin package with boot loader uckj3 is recommended

2. Turn of the device by pulling out battery

3. Put battery again

4. Start you computer and run Odin.

5. After Odin start connect your device through USB while pressing volume up and down button

6. Odin will say connect and your device will show firmware upgrade fail just press start and wait for about five minute

You will get the device running, gingerbread

Now...before anyone goes crazy and gets mad. I'm not trying to be a troll here by any means. I don't hate ice cream sandwich. I know it has a lot of improvements, which is always great :D

But...Ice cream sandwich... is just plain ugly looking to me when compared to Gingerbread. Does anyone else feel this way?

ICS

Gingerbread

I don't just mean the wallpapers. Gingerbread just looks so much more "Android" ish. Ice cream sandwich looks... odd. By no means is it garbage. It just doesn't look like android to me.

And I've also heard they are removing the menu button. THAT alone, killed any chance of me ever buying another android phone/device. It's one of the main reasons I came to love android so much. I don't understand why they are removing the "technical" feel that it has in favor of a "apple-ish" feel. If you get me.

I don't mean to sound like I hate Google/Android...But...honestly. I kinda am, now...Maybe it will change as we go along. But honeycomb was a disaster to me. I hope it improves.

Maybe I am over stepping my grounds...but I am just very disappointed in it all. Just as much as I am disappointed in Windows 8 metro... *shivers* Ugh.

How about you guys?
[Android General] spunker88:
Menu is still there its just being moved to the upper right hand corner in most apps. Older apps not written for ICS have the legacy menu button appear. I do kind of wish they would just leave the button in one place. Besides for that you can always install a separate launcher. I don't really like the trebuchet launcher with CM9 so I installed ADW EX which gives a more GB feel.
[Android General] explosivequack:
I've been running ics for about a month, but I haven't used the galaxy nexus with the on-screen buttons though but I really prefer the layout over gb. I think the Widgets in the application drawer is amazing, I love the persistent search bar and the scrollable Widgets. I like gingerbread just fine but I like ice cream sandwich a lot more.
[Android General] Locklear308:
Now... as always please pardon my android noob-ergy. So... Even with Cm9 I could somehow make it look like Gingerbread? That would solve most of my issues. But still...removing the menu button... Why google...
[Android General] imbmiller:
I haven't gotten my hands on a device that will run CM9 (talk to me again next week, E4gT otw) but the beauty of CM was always full customization. It probably wouldn't be too hard to install a new launcher and theme etc.

Overall I love the look of ICS tho. Seems more modern. I'll def have a better feel for it when I get my new phone. I've loved every major release of Android tho, and I started on 1.6 on a G1. (Please bring back multicolor LED notify light!!! ha)
[Android General] pikerumx:
all the new things have a time to adapt in a few time you will accept as well:p
[Android General] zelendel:
Don't worry once ICS becomes stable on more devices you will see plenty of themes. It will take a bit as there have been a lot of changes but you will be able to make it look anyway you want. Like I have already started porting my Gotham theme to ICS.
[Android General] perern:
They are not removing the menu button. just moving it. on Modaco you can get the menu button to be visible at all times.

Maybe time to root if you get a ICS device?

Sounds like you haven't rooted before. Because the UI is the easiest to change on Android. You can even make ICS look just like GB
[Android General] mathburn:
However i think it's look great than Touchwiz. :p
[Android General] YoungSinema:
I actually agree. I like the new features that come with ICS, but the UI is ugly to me.
[Android General] thebobp:
I do agree that Gingerbread looks more.. Android-themed whereas ICS looks.. slicker. Not a dealbreaker, of course. I do feel google seems to have caught the Apple bug of one-customization fitting all; I would love to see Gingerbread themes available by default, for example.

Not that I can really complain, considering that I added the menu button back (though looking completely different) with a custom ROM. But there's another option I wonder why they didn't just provide by default..

I think that might actually be a background issue. (The UI itself may not be "android", but I don't think it could really be called ugly.) It deemphasizes the icons. A deeper background actually helps to emphasize them.

(That messaging app is disconcerting, though.)
[Android General] mcord11758:
I could not disagree more on this. gingerbread to me was an eye soar. the puke green status icons never worked for me. I like the ICS annimations better. Over all the UI for ICS is just much more polished and refined IMO. I have a honeycomb tablet with an ICS port and it shipped originally with Gigerbread. The ICS port is not ready for everyday use but if just looks and feel is all I am going off for me ICS > Honeycomb > Gingerbread
[Android General] juliooooo:
Gotta concurr with mcord11758. ICS to me looks more professional than GB

[Android General] spunker88:
How are they becoming more like Apple? You can still have custom home screens with widgets, etc. You can still install different launchers. They are just updating the default UI. If they didn't update the UI then they would be like Apple, I don't think iOS has seen a major UI overhaul since 2007.
[Android General] xphone1:
Mha ... the end has not changed greatly in terms of graphics, they just made ​​sharper contrasts. What I love ics is its multitasking, notifications and its all part of "technique" that is behind. The menu button, I've yet: D
[Android General] molesarecoming:
i think pre ICS android looked rather gruesome, buttons, menues, popups, checkboxes, radiobuttons, all the basic elements shamefully awful even. it was evident that they didn't spend much time thinking about looks and usability. i'd say it's is a pretty good leap now, you feel right away they have put alot of thought in it. i like it so much i'd never install a ROM that changes it drastically and i'm happy to see CM9 und AOKP go along, widen the capabilities without distracting from the clear AOSP concept.

but keep in mind it was designed for nexus, high definition screens, maybe amoled, and software keys. seems like an OS that was envisioned for the hardware it runs on, not just random linux with buttons and checkboxes thrown onto whatever device is available.
[Android General] Pascalwb:
I like ICS more, it's better then gingerbread or MIUI. All menu, etc..
[Android General] thebobp:
I'm obviously exaggerating a bit, but the keywords here are custom and different. Yes, we can search far and wide to do these things ourselves, but I'd like the options to be already there by default. That, I feel, is more with the Android spirit. It's also helpful for non-technical users who aren't as daring as we are.
[Android General] MykiB:
I personally thought that Gingerbread (like some others here) and the previous versions of android were capable of making my eyes bleed in some cases. The sharp green colours and just generally inelegant UI components like the absolutely horrendously designed progress bar (personal gripe, don't mind me LOL) were just unfortunate.

Now with ICS the design is so much cleaner and crisper, and maybe it'll motivate app developers to make their apps more beautiful as well (hopefully). Just because something looks good doesn't mean it's suddenly Apple-ised.
[Android General] Locklear308:

i think we're far away from a war. i like reading people's opinion of ics vs gb.

when i saw ics for the first time, i was disappointed because it looked too dark, and (in my opinion) more geeky than gb. once i flashed it on my phone, it took me about 10 minutes to fall in love with it :)

i'm lovin' it ever since ;)
[Android General] molesarecoming:
i think they did that because of amoled, which has the purest blacks i have ever witnessed on a screen. when i first switched it on i was amazed to see the OS almost floating over the screen... like one of those stickers mimicking the OS they slap on demonstration devices in some phone shops.
