[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vomer:
Hi Guys,

So just got my GN and need some tips. I am coming from the T989D so wondering if any of these apply to the GN.

What I chose to install on my GN:

- Android Open Kang Project - toro - milestone 4

- franco.Kernel [NIGHTLY - r89]

Wondering about this:

1. Do I need to underclock/undervolt the GN to get good battery? On my T989 I had applied this script : http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=574 which helped A LOT.

2. Any other tips that I should know about?

Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Diger36:
I guess that the first question is: What do you think is "good battery"?

If you buy Franco's app (and I certainly recommend that, even if it is only to show him your support ;) ) or if you look in AOKP under settings>ROM control then you have various options that influence battery life. Depending on the type of usage that you have switching governors and setting min and max CPU values will influence your battery life. There is not one answer to your question so my suggestion is: just play with the settings and see what results you get. With the combination of AOKP and Franco you should easily get 3 - 4 hrs screen on time, depending on other things you do with your phone (long calls, music lstening etc.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
1. I don't think there is a *need* to underclock/undervolt, but as stated previously, this does depend on your expectations or requirements for battery life. The link you provide doesn't work so I'm unable to see exactly what you're referencing as having loaded on your previous device.

In general, this device is no exception and all the usual steps help to extend battery life. Screen brightness, radio signal, length of usage, etc. Personally, i haen't had many issues with battery life and this device lasts much longer than my last device, Sprint EVO 3D.

2. Other tips .. if your main concern is battery life, some good news is this device has a lot of community support behind it. If there has been a customization for a previous Android device, it will also be available for this device.

Otherwise, the device is great! Haven't had any issues here. Welcome and good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emarkd:
I second this suggestion. Franco's kernel is the best I've tried on my gnex and provides an excellent balance of power and battery life in its default configuration. If your needs lean more towards power, there's settings there to provide that at the cost of some battery life. If instead you need longer battery life, you can achieve that too at the cost of some power. My personal gnex is slick as butter, extremely smooth, and I get 4 hours screen-on time daily unless I play some graphically-intense games.

Hi, noob here. I have a Bolt running BAMF Forever 1.10. Looking for a bootanimation for the Tar Heels. Does anyone have one or know where to find one? I'm not sure my skill set is developed enough yet to make my own. Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneders65:
I had to make my own college team bootanimation. Not that hard.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thumper1973:
Thanks. Do you have a favorite source/site/instructions to do that?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneders65:
There is a bootanimation software that is out there. Don't have the link but searching it will get you there. If you search Texas Tech University you can see some of what I did and used. I would try to help more but I'm on phone right now. Also you can check all of my post history.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmartin77:
just a boot animation? there are literally hundreds of tutorials on xda. im pretty sure there was one in the portal news at one point too.

UNC!! We beat Vermont today :) ... ok sorry for the random comment lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I know there are threads for each release but I thought it might be a good idea to list the ones still out there in one place.

These are for the Samsung leaks only, not CM9 or AOKP.

As of FC18:

Exchange contacts/calendar??

That's it?!

As of FC07:

GPS

Cell location (works but eventually craps out. Reboot fixes)

Signal bars

Notification vib+sound

Exchange

Post others I may be forgetting and I will update OP.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
Thanks! This is very helpful.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] clshores:
That sums it up in a nutshell. The only thing else I can add is better power management and the abilty to use apps like setcpu.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gpgorbosjr:
Is it weird I won't permaswitch to ICS until vib+sound is worked out? lmao. That was the killer for me, of all things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
What is wrong with Exchange? I sync to my work exchange server just fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d.e.beatup:
I'm not sure if it's just the ROM or ICS but on both AOKP and CM9 I've had it happen that if I'm in a area with very poor signal, it'll go to airplane mode on it's own. The plane doesn't show in the status bar when it happens so I'll have to check it often to make sure it isn't on since the signal bars obviously have their own bug as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jpkelly05:
Exchange is all I need. Could you elaborate on what doesn't work. Also GPS and cell location are important as getting through LA is a constant battle during traffic times.... I drive all around Southern Cal for my job (paid for travel time but if I don't have to sit on a dead freeway, why waste my time).

I can't make the switch until I know these work 100%.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
I personally don't use exchange but from what I've read it has problems with contacts and calendar sync.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Frederick_1:
Dont forget about no apps to SD card function. I miss that the most
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Thats not a bug for leaks but an aosp build bug. I would aasume the OP is talking about the leaks based on the bugs list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Yes, this list is for leaks only. I modified OP to clarify.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fergff:
I also do not have any major exchange issues,

Email/calendar/contacts sync as expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
Can I get a consensus on Exchange from non-modified stock FC07 users? I'll take it off the list if it is truly fixed on the stock rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] satur9ine:
You can GPS to work by flashing back to GB, get lock, then flash back. But it is still a little wonky and doesn't work out of the box so on the list it goes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
FC07 GPS worked out of the box fine for me and many people for the first time. I have a feeling some of the people without GPS didnt do full reset or are on the list of people with hardware defects. Seems to still not be working for other people that have a clue so its hard to say.

FC07 still does have GPS related issues like it wont stop searching for a lock if it begins and you end up in an area that GPS would never work in the first place. So its still valid that there are GPS issues for sure.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] twoslo:
+1, i haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with exchange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] trim81:
Sound notifications, especially sms stops randomly.

A reboot then fixes it.

Strange
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
From what I've gathered from a variety of threads, the Exchange issue depends on the version of Exchange and relates to the Exchange function that allows it to remotely manage your device.

Those of us on newer versions of Exchange (I'm on 2010) can't sync calendar or contacts on ANY of the Samsung ICS leaks. I have to replace the email and exchange apks with AOSP to get it to work. Otherwise I'm SOL.

So to be clear, there is DEFINITELY an Exchange problem, even if you're not experiencing it. But it's apparently specific to certain setups, and enough of us on this board have that setup that it's a serious problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kthejoker20:
a MAJOR bug that I want fixed is the head phone out.

When using the head phones or the dock mode heaphone output... i CONSTANTLY get a static and beeping.

I can hear the music, but I get static and beeping.

Tried different wires, different head phones, different docks all with the same results.

No quality audio through the head phone port.

I am not having this problem, is anyone else? Might be hardware related.
[Captivate General] neo_31591:
I went from SAUROM, flashed ICS Build 17 twice, and after "SUCCESSFULL" message, it boots up but without any cell coverage network and it doesnt even recogonise Internal storage. It shows only 1.8Gb memory and not the internal files.

I CAN boot into recovery, and in that when i choose FLASH ZIP FROM SD CARD, i can see EVERYTHING!!! all my files,folders etc are there.... ive flashed the same ROM like 10 times now, same problem.

Also, i tried ODIN 1 click , but my phone doesnt get recogonised in Download Mode.

so im stuck with the this ROM without any cell coverage, without any memory, nothing.

WHAT TO DO..please help me out!!!

PS: i have tried ODIN 1 (phone doesnt get recogonised)

i have also wiped data,cache,dalvik etc etc. done everything!!!
[Captivate General] jde984:
Did you install the Nexus S drivers from the CM9 OP? that should get your phone recognized in odin.
[Captivate General] dngen:
Did you try going into CWM, factory reset, format system, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flashing a new ROM?
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
Sounds like you need to use Heimdall one click back to stock gingerbread. I usually use that when I mess up flashing ics ROMs and odin doesn't want to recognize my phone. Read more about Heimdall :)

[Captivate General] bravomail:
Use Apex ROM Heimdall package. It has links to heimdall website. It's pretty good ROM too.

Or use SFX-style one-click Heimdall package for SauromKK4.
[Captivate General] neo_31591:
hey im using Heimdall but still it shows up as unknown device in zadig...

ive installed drivers from Odin 1 click, still its coming up as unknown device :(

[Captivate General] neo_31591:
Hey...could my problem also be the same as "Encryption Unsuccesfull" given here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=11

even though i never got the same message, but even I cant see the rest of the memory..only 1.8 is present....
[Captivate General] panda_mode:
Hmmm... Could be a hardware issue then. As for your network, you have to set your phone on the correct APN. It takes forever for my pc to recognize my internal storage or that its connected, but I think that's an issue with some people on ics. Try reinstalling the samsung drivers.
[Captivate General] neo_31591:
Hey...I finally managed to get it recognised ...went back to stock 2.2 through Odin 1 click...then to 2.3.5 and then flashed docs ics.. ...everything's back to normal now...

Thanks a lot for your help guys...really...thanks :):)
[Captivate General] Hunt3r.j2:
For those who have been following this thread, the moral is this:

You're only bricked if you literally have a dead phone that doesn't respond at all. Can't turn on, doesn't vibrate, doesn't show signs of charging, doesn't go to DL mode, etc. Even then, if you have the unbrickable mod then you are literally never going to be able to brick your phone, even under circumstances that would normally cause a brick.
[Captivate General] b-eock:
Well it bricks, but you run a program that takes advantage of the hardware being wired to be able to load things into the RAM while the phone is off and execute an upgrade from there!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mopardroid:
Hey so I am currently using a desire HD rooted running aosp and I love the phone.... the only problem is the battery life ...

I have been thinking about a gnex for a long time .... is struggle to get 12 hours out of this phone without charging through out the day and its killer..

How is the gnex battery life.. are the 5mp pictures still pretty good? And would it be worth getting or should I wait to see the sgs 3 and htc one xl?

Thanks for any input
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arvylas:
Gnex is a killer for sure and the 5mp camera is really amazing for 5mp. As for your conserns about battery life you get a full day with about 3-6 hours screen on time depending how you use it with standard battery!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
The quality of photos has nothing to do with megapixel.

MP only determines how pixelated your photo will look if you enlarge it and how much it can be enlarged before you start noticing pixels. Of course there's a threshold when smaller mp greatly reduced the quality of photos, but 5 is far away from it.

In short, photos look great.

Battery life is meh, like most smartphones out there.

The newer phones will always have newer technology and better specs, so the wait is never-ending. If you just ask me whether this phone is worth getting now, then the answer is yes, absolutely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Battery is "meh" on the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus. Battery on GSM Galaxy Nexus is fine.

And agreed with technology and specs. Don't beat the hardware race, beat the software race ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeykrim:
All the replies have been great and with the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus, I do agree that photo quality (instant pictures) is good and battery life has been great for me (coming from Sprint EVO 3D-CDMA).

The only other factor not mentioned has been the price. Not sure if you're purchasing the device subsidized from a carrier with a 2 yr contract or purchasing off contract, but there are certain pricing points with the life cycle of phones in addition to personal budget contraints which could factor into the decision.

The Galaxy Nexus seems to be at a decent price now having been released back in December, the *premium* price for a brand new device, at least for the GSM version, has fallen a bit.

Also, the time frame around the new device release dates could factor into the pricing and timing of waiting or purchasing a new device.

There is an old saying, a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, meaning having it now can be better than waiting on the prospects of something in the future.

All factors to take into consideration! As a side note, would be great to see a device with the off contract and on conract/subsidized prices over time to see where the "sweet" spots are.

Hope that helps more to the great feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] emarkd:
The thing about battery life on these newer smartphones is that your usage choices will dramatically affect battery life, and the gnex is no exception. With the screen brightness turned down and 4G turned off, I can get 4 hours of screen-on time. Turn the brightness up on this huge screen or use the 4G or get in an area of bad reception or any number of other things, and that number can drop to 2 hours pretty quickly. But since its a Nexus, there are lots of kernels out there that can increase these numbers, again depending on your usage.

As an aside, this thing sleeps very well. It would probably last two days on stand-by if I didn't charge it up every night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The gsm nexus gets superb idle time on battery, but the screen drains quick. So for me it averages out great. The time my phone sits on my desk between usage basically stays dead flat. So usage of like 20 min hear and there gives me great battery life. 8 hour work day i have 50% left, with about 1.5 hour actual screen time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mopardroid:
Thanks for all the feedback guys ... I really appreciate it!

When I have data on and brightness well below 50% I usually see the battery drop 10-15% or more in 15 minutes.... so I'm sure the gnex would be better..

The only thing that I'm worried about is the camera but I have 14 days to see if I like it...

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fjsferreira:
