I'm unearthing an old thread and beating a dead horse, but as I just uninstalled play updates from and old galaxy tab and was greeted with the old market that just installed two dozen apps faster than my 3 years younger fancy double core supposed-to-be-fast-yet-sluggish-gunk, I'm compelled to give this issue a little nudge again.

Old Markets in did download in parallel. What's the benefit you ask, well, it was able download others while it was installing those that were completed. The current version doesn't donwload squat while it's installing and I find that pathetic given today's hardware.

It's generally not that beneficial to download several simultaneously, but the current implementation is even worse. Two in parallel or start the next when the current finishes, that'd be something.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
I don't see the issue. It's always been like that since Google launched v4 for play store.
[HTC Incredible S] afg984:
In my opinion it would be better if it install the first app and download the second one at the same time

My droid razr drops it's data connetion, just about every day. some times it fall's back on 3G, but most of the time not. Now vid two was not the best at showing what happens most of the time, but vid one is. I have better videos, but they have to much info about me to upload with out cuting them up.

So if video one happened to you every day, with 3-5 bars or -69 to -86dbm. What would you do?

I would like to know so I can fix it.

thanks

P.S I have tryed:

New sim, reboots( lots and lots of that), Uninstalling most 3rd party apps, Leting it stay off over night. ( the tech guy said to do that.) and not using the phone for 24h.

Bootloader is locked and even it was not locked, I still would not because it does not seem to be software. There is a week spot on the lower right side of the phone that "gives in" way to easy vs my S2 and the build of this phone should be better than that.

P.S maybe Verizon is just the biggest pile of crap on earth?
[General Questions and Answers] Marshmellow92:
yeah i would just make sure its rooted and install a good rom for it it might work.
[General Questions and Answers] Crashdamage:
Correct. Changing ROMs will do little or nothing to improve the situation and might even make it worse. It's either a poor antenna design or, more likely, poor signal in your location.

You said it, not me...

For the super-premium prices they charge, Verizon should be willing to help. T-Mobile US offers free home signal boosters to those who need them. Maybe Verizon has a program like that.

[General Questions and Answers] 4ktvs:
I don't think a signal boost will help if it drops data even in a 5 bar place and I can see the cell tower.

It just did it again and fell back on 3g. I was geting 4-5 bars, unsure if it's reading dbm right.

Edit: Free signal boosters and it does not cost you more $ per bill? If 100% free thats cool, AT&T does not do that for free, but never needed form them.

[General Questions and Answers] TheDexter1111:
I would be complaining to my service provider! but the few suggestions to root and rom your stock cell might work.. however rooting is not for everyone. so I would look for other solutions first. Make sure you have the latest firmware installed for your device and if you are still having issues, then maybe consider root.
[General Questions and Answers] 4ktvs:
bootloader is locked, so no roms. there is root, but i don't know how well it works yet.

I think the hardware has some kind of isuse. i think the battery reader is bad and is feeding the phone fake info. I will need more time to know for sure.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Try a different phone on the same provider and a different provider on the same phone.

Then either change provider, phone or both.
[General Questions and Answers] 4ktvs:
The phone is locked and even if you could unlock it, it uses bands no one else uses.

There are some good things about the EU like:

1) cell phones are all gsm and there for hot swapable.

2) 100mbs internet all over.

3) You make some fine cars.

Back on topic: I don't have a phone to swap sims with on same provider.

Thanks for the input and thanks for the worlds fastest car. :D

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the Samsung Focus i917r and it's currently locked to Rogers Canada. I'm wondering if I flash from stock rom to DFT freedom (or mi7rom), will the sim card lock be removed so that it can be used for other company?

How does it play on the Xperia Play? I am getting so tempted to by this device along with the Mugen 3600mah battery and 64 GB micro sd. Anybody else have this set up with extended battery and sd? How it is for daily use also hows the battery life? Hows netflix on it?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
Battery life on the Xperia Play is not good. You can get a day of use with moderate usage. It drains a lot when using wifi and playing games.

When you play HD games like GTA 3, Shadowgun then your battery is gonna drain like hell !

I was expecting better.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
Lol? I optimized my device so much that the stock battery lasts like three days. The battery life on this thing is amazing, just use it wisely and optimize stuff.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
What do you mean by ' optimize ' and how long do you charge your phone for ?

And do you play games on it and use wifi heavily ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romcio47:
Yea, what have you done that your phone lasts for THREE DAYS?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I have wifi constantly on but use the the general mode on both juice defender and easy battery saver and don't even get a days usage really (although I did just reinstall easy battery saver today). I haven't even played on any games. That's quite bad I think so what could I do to improve this? Not rooted
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
Nothing too serious, i'm quite a noob at this stuff (first android device). I just rooted, cleaned the bloatware, frozen other stuff like the stock launcher, installed a very light launcher, disabled the boot animation (boots so much faster), did the adb setinstalllocation 2 trick, and a couple of other things. I mean, i always have low brightness and i only have wifi on when i need it, but i do play games. Of course the three days mark is only achieved when i don't play, but it definitely got even more awesome than out of the box (even there, it rocked, at least for me).
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
Anyone know if Ice Cream Sandwich update will improve battery life ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mael5trom:
reply to youngronn

I actually run the exact same stuff you wish to purchase, and i can kill the phone in 1 day if i play castlevania, symphony of night for about 11 hours straight, other than that for an average day of minimal use, maybe a half hour web browsing or so its drains about 6-7% in the approx 10 hours off the charger.

this is overclocked to 1.5ghz with a slight undervolt. the 64gb microsd works fine, i have aroundabout 10gb left free on it, as does the majority of psx emulation using fpse, n64 is a bit more spotty, everything older runs 100% perfect.

i cant comment on netflix because it isnt available where i live.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrusalmighty:
Confused...The title of thread is mega man legends 2.....so where is this game available for Xperia play? Is it on an emulator or gameloft?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
I just finished playing Asphalt 6 HD for 15 mins and I lost 16% !

How about that right? How can this happen?

Why me?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngronn:
Thanks are you running on the 3600mah battery?

And its a psx game ran off the emulator to the guy asking.

Also is there a compatibility list on this forum for PSX and N64 games?

I've searched and haven't seen one.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sufy1000:
Most users who are saying that are saying that their battery lasts for 2 days or more are those who leave their xperia play on standby most of the time. Only use it a little bit here and there and a bit of gaming. Or are using a 3600mah battery.

In no way can you get 2 days of gaming full whack usage from the stock battery.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phu_Kang:
no,i didn't use anything to improve my battery life.

seriously,the battery are good to me,compare with my previous galaxy s2,xplay will give you aproximately around 30 min -1 hour more life.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrainsUnlimited:
Hello there.

When I installed ICS (RC4.2) to my Galaxy S (GT-i9000), I noticed that the screen's gamma value had changed just enough to make all the colors look a bit darker. I know it isn't really that big of a problem, but I'd prefer to have the gamme value back to what is used to be. So I'm asking if there's a way to change the gamma value back to the way it was in, say, in Android 2.3.3?

I did a quick search and couldn't find any solution.

Thanks in advance!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VictoryStar:
Hello. Yesterday I was trying to install some Xperia S apps, installed SemcPhone.apk and the problems started. Infinite Force Closes showed up and I forgot to make a bakup before. An helpful member helped me in the Xperia S Apps thread and I installed his original SemcPhone.apk, but to do that I had to erase the .odex file that was in my phone to stop the Force Closes. Now everytime I try to make a call I still get a Force Close on com.android.phone and the app doesn't work at all, but happily I can actually talk with the person I called, and end the call by accepting the force close. I have no idea if I can still recieve calls and the phone will always ask my PIN code when I end a call.

Help, please? Will I have to wait for the oficial ICS release? Should I make a Factory Reset, root the phone again, copy the .apk and .odex files to somewhere else, install ClockworkMod Recovery, restore it back and put those files in the right place with the correct permissions?

I have an opportunity to get a transformer for pretty cheap. Issue is seller says that often the tablet freezes or reboots while in sleep mode. He is running stock ics, no root. You think it is just software and rooting it and loading a custom rom would fix the issue or is it hardware related?

I have a galaxy note, upgraded to the last version of 2.3.6 (JPLA1).

After upgrade i relized that the battery life has decreased. Then i made a factory reset. However, my phone does not stay in deep sleep mode very long. Actually it stays awake during whole night.

What could be the cause of this problem???

I have taken screen shots, attached...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
the best although a bit demanding way is to check with BetterBatteryStats,

you could also try disabling not-absolutely-necessary features (GPS, some data syncs etc.) to check which decreases battery consumption,

there's also Autorun Manager with which you can disable unnecessary startup apps (lots of them are set to autorun after device start, some may try to update over the net too frequently)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leppo:
I wonder what firmware you're on... mine (LB1) shows wifi status on the summary screen as well. my phone used to stay awake all night too, until I started turning off wifi for the night (FYI, I shut down the cell data connection when I arrive home, so it's not on for the night either)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardicli2000:
Mine is LA1.

And my wifi is off as well as data connection during the night.

Also i realized something wierd. If i activate 3g, Android OS drains battery more than 70% percent. If i activate 2g, then Android OS drains only 10-15%. DAta connection is on for both. There could be a problem with the LA1 kernel maybe but i am not sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoJo ^^:

Should i check something or change some of the settings?

or the program does what is necessary by itself?

I think this is not the case because my phone still does not enter into sleep mode.

I disabled fast dormancy. But i like to ask something.

What is fast dormancy? :)
