i dono why my x10 mini pro always glow red whenever i connect my phone to charge and also it does not glow green whenever i receive a message , what might have happened ??? . this issue started only a day before . pls help guys :confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Mashun99:
Try using the SEUS to reset your phone
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] anancr:
if you have miniCM you can try:

settings> CyanogenMod Settings> Interface> Led notifications.

there you can check with any of the "categories" under the application section to check if the led can blink with other colors.

if the led can blink with other colors then in the section "advance" you can try to reset the led blinking for all app and notifications

if the led can't blink with other colors then is a hardware problem.

you can also use any app from the market to test the led ex: LED Color Tester.

After upgrading to ICS (via kies) the battery really sucks. Last for a whole day if im lucky. Is this normal??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
From what I've heard, it's usually improved - BUT some power management bugs that affected stock Gingerbread kernels but were fixed in all custom kernels are still present in ICS, such as the good old fuel_alerted wakelock - so while it's better when working well, it's more prone to breaking.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_tris:
I'm happy if my battery lasts for a day as i'm always messing with it(one of these days I might use it to make a phone call)! Have you tried putting it on charge at bedtime? I find that helps a lot.:cool:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aRc.:
I would try to avoid over-charging it, it's not good for any battery. Once it hits 100% (so long as it's correctly calibrated) unplug and use as normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lstreet:
same here i upgraded to ICS xxlpq and have been using it for 3 days, im struggling to get a day out of it ... its exactly the same setup as when i ran XEU (KI4) 2.3.4 unbranded UK. I noticed ram usage has increased as well as the amount of system processes. both times I rooted and removed bloatware. when my contract runs out in 6 months I will be looking at either a pure asop phone or an iphone 5, The galaxy s2 has a great screen but the batterylife if weak no matter what custom rom and custom kernal is running. Also I can get a wifi signal in my bedroom with my laptop and my old iphone 3gs but nothing with the s2.

Also please can anyone advise what the best pure and minimilistic asop rom will be for the galaxy s2 ive read cm9 mite be soon but is there anything thats great for battery life ? ...... thanks for you time in advance :=)

Upgrading to custom ICS roms is usually a great way to enhance your battery life, because they're always containing tweaks and optimizations!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobes78:
This worked for me

Device: GT-I9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2 international)

Carrier: Smartone

Country / Language: Hong Kong

OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): ICS 4.0.3/IML74K.ZSLPE

I can confirm that I have resolved the battery drain issue after upgrading to ICS on my device. The problem was partial wake locks caused by the exchange service.

One of these measures fixed the problem for me (it might have been any of these, although I have a strong suspicion that the factory reset is the only relevant one):

- factory reset of phone; didn't restore the settings and accounts, but set them up manually

- wiped cache

- did not reinstall ADW launcher

Hope that helps.

The good news is that now the battery life is definitely better than it was on Gingerbread.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Necrolust:
This isn't really true. Once it hits 100% it pretty much runs off the charger.

By depleting it all the time you are ruining the battery that way
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Leaving your phone on charge longer than is absolutely necessary ie taking it off charge as soon as it gets to 100% will not affect your battery life and there is also no need to manually calibrate the battery. I installed DXLP7 and was getting poor battery life due to a wakelock, I found and dealt with the cause and immediately battery life improved. In my experience battery life on ICS is as good as it was in gingerbread. Better battery stats is your friend.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loftysnake:
I had upgraded my sgs2 to ics yesterday. The new version is draining the battery very seriously. In the previous version, my sgs2 could last for about 12 hours from a fully charged state. But now the version can only last for 6 hours, which is really unacceptable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szrich:
Is deep sleep? You can check with CPU-Spy. If not, remove the battery a few minutes and then returned.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

I had huge battery drain issues from exchange and email waking the device and constantly doing something. Removed the accounts and then set them up again. Like night and day now, better than gb. On LP7 and never wiped.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zewsan:
Keep a look with BetterBatteryStats, and see if there are any apps messing up.

I have better batterylife with ICS by a margin.

And about leaving the charger on during night, these are kind of myths really, you can keep it on without any worries, and also charge it without being totally drained.

Most of these thoughts come from the old Ni-Cd times with memory effect.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loftysnake:
I had removed the Exchange Account yesterday and the battery drain problem disappeared. The account was added back after about 10 hours. The battery usage is now back to normal (a little bit better than the situation before the ics upgarde). Thanks for your hint.

Cheers.

SG S2 ICS Battery drain issue

Had upgraded to ICS when it launched in India and literally went berserk due to the battery drain issue. Googled and googled, found a lot of things, tried most of them (except for changing ROMs).

Then, Voila, last 4 days - a complete twist to my sorry tale. I first disabled the phone backup option (to Google), did a factory reset, said No to most of the options that are asked on restart, and didnt install the earlier applications from the Play store en masse (earlier, had a number of games and other 'what I thought was useful' apps). Now, only have the basic apps plus Poweramp, Shazam and NQ Mobile added. And the result - the battery is back to normal. Phew....big relief as I use the phone pretty much for mails, music, phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samaliset:
I want yo add some thing very annoying, I discovered today after upgrading to Resurrection ROM.

In fact, even with the device connected to my car power supply and using Copilot for about 1 hour, the battery continued it's discharge instead of charging.

So what to say and what to do?

Cheers

With the latest pq and p7 i had an issue syncing phone calendar with exchange (you don't see exchange calendar entries)

No way to get my task nor my agenda.

Anyone found a solution for this?

ps. it it possible that nobody use exchange ??? this is sound very strange to me.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plu:
hi

same problem for me

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

To make it work (for me atleast)

1. remove the whole exchange account

2. Turn on auto-syncing across your phone.

3. add back your exchange account, but this time make sure on the initial account setup that you select an auto syncing interval (anything except never). I used every hour.

4. Wait a while and it should show up in calendar (it did for me)

[LG Optimus 3D] silencethenoise:
I've scoured the forums looking for any indication of which frequencies the baseband in v21d comes with and came up empty. Specifically I want to know if it has the 1700 2100 aws bands for T-Mobile USA. I know v21a does, can anyone tell me if v21d does as well?
[LG Optimus 3D] silencethenoise:
Nearly 160 views and not a single response. Sad.

Well, I flashed the German (I think) version of v21d and I still have 1700 and 2100 AWS bands. So there you are, if anyone wondered.
[LG Optimus 3D] guillefs:
The ROM is now V21d German and respects the frequency band they use in Germany. I think they use the same as USA.

To keep the original baseband you need to install by ZIP and not by KDZ
[LG Optimus 3D] silencethenoise:
My understanding is that there is also a v21d for Spain out there as well, but it may be the same baseband, I haven't looked into it... I need to learn more about EU carriers so this isn't an issue for me again in the future.
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
The basebands of both the Spain and Germany v21D are the same because both came from LG HQ in Korea. The full baseband version of v21D as reported by CyanogenMod 7.2 is:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Melab:
The boot ROM is different from the bootloader. It is immutable code etched into the silicon that initializes everything, including the first stage bootloaders. Locked bootloaders mean nothing if they are not signature checked by some sort of hardware-based process to block the use of patched bootloaders. What tablets or smartphones come without this hardware-based security enabled?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Hey guys,

I finally made it over to the Nexus from Sprint. I did it thru amazon and saved 200 bucks... its a no brainer. None the less, I have a few questions about the Nexus Forums.

I see there is a section for CDMA development, but when I have a general question about the nexus, it would pertain to both the CDMA and non-CDMA models right? As in the phones are the same, minus the type of radio they use? So say I want a screen protector, it would work for both models and not just Verizons model.

Im going to get an extended battery, the Verizon one seems to be where its at, no? I didnt see it on their website, whats the price? Does the ebay TPU cases work with the extended batteries?

I now know about the signal issues, just to clarify, if I have a "bad" one the signal will drop out even in a good solid 4g area right? My fiance and I just went to verizon, and she went with the razr. So I would be able to use her phone as a comparison for what speeds I "should" be getting.

Anything else to look out for?

Cant wait fellas...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lrs421:
Screen protectors will work for both phones.

The extended batteries are specific. For the LTE version the extended battery is a must IMO.

A lot of TPU cases such as the androidified ones are compatible with the cdma extended battery.

Never had signal issues, it will depend on your area. Also, the update coming soon is rumored to address this with a new radio

Congrats on the new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Thanks. I picked up screen protectors, Diztronics TPU and Im trying to find the 25 dollar verizon battery deal. I think its been over for a bit now..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Amazon has the battery or $35. It was $28 the other day...I think Verizon is sold out.

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-ETC-I515BBGSTA-Verizon-Extended-Battery/dp/B006NYP94O/ref=pd_cp_cps_0

For questions, the general forum has GSM and CDMA together as most things pertain to both devices. The only separated section is development.

If your phone is keeping a 4G signal and you are surfing the web without it constantly losing signal then coming back on your phone should be fine. If your wife's Razr has a better signal or might pick up 4G in area's where you cannot, that is just the phone and not a defect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papa Pearce:
If you can handle the *slight* inconvenience, a solution I'm currently using is actually two standard OEM batteries. For $29.99 you can actually get the standard battery, external charger, and Y-Cable to charge both the battery and your phone at the same time. I chose this option over the extended battery because from what I've read the extended doesn't add that much juice, plus I wanted to continue to use my regular accessories. So basically now when I run out of juice on one battery, I pop the other in and let the other charge. It's actually been really convenient because it only takes roughly 2-3 hours to charge to extra battery, and the fastest I've drained my phone was around 4-5 hours.

Welcome to the Galaxy Nexus and Verizon!

EDIT: Here's a link to the product I'm talking about. It's $39.99 online, but you can get it for $29.99 in store.

hey man, see I made the switch haha... ( no more this or that threads from me )

Thanks man.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
damn I thik you guys set me up haha. Ive been reading page after page here in the forum and it seems like there is more and more guys having issues with the muting, loss call issues etc etc. WTF haha. NOT good. Too bad I made the switch today. It seems like its not even worth the hassle ( with the gnex )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Papa Pearce:
Believe me, most of us love our devices. Even I do, despite having to have my screen fixed for discoloration and banding issues. But people are more likely to post issues than compliments. Not to say there aren't issues, or that they are necessarily isolated. But I think with time you'll realize you made a great choice, especially if you keep up with the dev community.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
True, dont get me wrong I hate sense, I dont use it. But if I cant use the phone because the data drops and the phone calls dont stay connected WTF? lol sure I should have realized that before but soooo many people pushed the GNEX. Yeah very easily persuaded. I'll see how it pans out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Esteway.619:
To be honest I don't have issue with data service or any of that. Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones. I came from sprint also so maybe I just feel spoiled from the super fast data speeds I get now compared to sprint. I used to roam internationally with sprint at my house and now I get good 4g service at home. I didn't even have 4g from sprint where I live. But my gnex is really good to me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I believe Amazon gives you 30 days for an exchange. That is more then enough time to figure out if the device works for you or not. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if we see an update within the next 30 days.

Oh, I haven't had a dropped call yet so not sure about that one either. My defective Gnex didn't even drop a call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Thanks eman. Yeah amazon is 30 days on the replacement. Now let me ask you this. say the phone I get tomorrow is bad, I'll replace it say in 7 days. When the next one comes do I have around 23 days left, or does the 30 days start again? And Im talking about the replacement phone, say its bad do I get another 30 days for that one too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
lol, if you go through that many phones in 30 days, you might want to go with something else...

When I received my replacement I actually asked this same question. They told me I had 30 days from the date of the replacement. If I were you I would call Amazon and just confirm that with them. I wasn't worried because I still had a lot of time within my first 30 days anyway.

If my 2nd phone would have been bad, not sure what I would have done as no other phone on Verizon really interested me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chino0131:
In my opinion and experience on forums, you will generally hear more people stating issues than those praising their phone. You will also have those that are NEVER satisfied. I would take what you read on a forum with a grain of salt and simply try what works best for you and make your own determination. Opinions on any device, or any tech, will vary depending upon location (with regards to signal), the person, their past and present expereinces, and so on.

That said, I read a lot throughout various forums of people complaining about their signal compared to the Thunderbolt and how the TB carried a better signal than the GNex. Im my experience, my GNEX would show fewer bars but have higher UL/DL speeds and a far better signal in general. For example, where my TB would show 4 bars 3G, my GNEX would show 1 bar 3g. However, my UL/DL speeds on my Genx were far better. You cant really compare signal when dealing with two seperate manufacturers radios either, and Im sure most will say that either im lying about my speeds or lucky. Im in the DC area if that matters. Im just stating my experience.

I will say that while I dont have dropped calls with the Nexus, I do at times have issues connecting to a call after hanging up on another call. This was never an issue on any other phone I had.

That said, while there are some issues I have personally with the phone at times, the pros outweight the cons to me. I love this phone and to me, its the best I've owned.

Also, my wife and I came from Sprint, her a little later than me. I had the Evo, went to the Thunderbolt. I also had the Razor and Rezound for about a week and flipped them while keeping my Nexus. My biggest dissapointment with this phone between all Ive owned is the speaker, but its not a huge deal to me anymore...I use a jambox for that now.

If anyone wants to try and get MIUIv4 ported to our device, I'd recommend they look here -------> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516660 and try using Isotope as the base.

Unfortunately, and ICS port of MIUI we get will have the same bugs as our AOSP ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
I know there is an ics version LOL but gb is the current stable running version on our phone but again no aosp no miui. Miui is built on aosp and relies heavily on that need hence my mention of gb as our better bet atm

people who live in glass houses sink ships
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] iandr0idos:
Just about all of the problems with MIUI are kernel-related. We need to get ourselves a stable and fully-functional CM7 kernel before we can really move forward.

And with the devs hacking up ICS, I don't think we're going to get an AOSP GB rom anytime soon. Hopefully, some devs will pick up CAF GB and then MAYBE we can get MIUI fully working. :D

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doministry:
It just doesn't sync with Outlook in a normal way.

Zune doesn't do it (still!). Apparently this simpe task was to difficult to implement it on WP7, or rather MS wanted to force you to use cloud.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebbieNY13:
For me, the inability to sync directly with a PC is the one and only deal breaker. :mad: My calendar, contacts, etc. are all housed in Outlook at work and my company blocks all access to third-party email systems, making syncing the "Windows Phone" way completely impossible.

I tried extracting the calendar and contacts into data files, importing them into Gmail, and then syncing with the Quantum that I picked up on Ebay, and it was an epic fail! Many contacts were missing their contact names and recurring appointments were converted into individual appointments, which would make rescheduling those appointments a *HUGE* P.I.T.A.!!! :eek: They never should have removed that ability to sync with a PC completely. :(

In less than 2 days, I couldn't wait to switch back to using my Rhodium full time. Sure, I miss the coolness factor of the new bells and whistles in Windows Phone, but I am confident that I can trust that my data is always up to date and complete in my Windows Mobile phone. :D
