[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Beards:
There are a number of Apps you can install that will show running applications ~ SystemPanel is one such app.

It comes in two variant ~ Paid & Free.

The free version is okay for looking at what your apps are doing but it does not offer the same level of service that the paid version gives and in this case you do need the paid version.

Full version ($2.99) adds app manager (installer/uninstaller with multi-version APK archival), and long-term application resource monitor to solve app-related battery life problems.

However, for finding out what apps are using your battery you can do this with your phone's built-in settings.

Just navigate to Settings/Applications/Running Services and look at what apps are currently running.

If you don't need a particular app running simply tap on it and select 'Stop'.

Job done that is one app no longer running in the background.

Another option is to again go to Settings/Applications/Battery Usage.

Here you not only see the graph at the top but also a list of main running apps (note not all are shown).

Tap the graph at the top and it shows you various parameters i.e. when the screen was on and when the device was awake. Basically you need both to be the same. If the phone's screen was off but it remained awake you then have an app running constantly in the background.

So, press the back button and look at the list of apps showing. To terminate an app simply tap on it and this time select 'Force Close'.

Spend a little time now and again popping over to these two places (Running Services & Battery Usage) and you should be able to identify what app or apps are eating your battery.

MIUI

In my case I chose MIUI but I think any theme should work as well. After installation it asked if I wanted to activate the battery saving mode which I accepted to check its performance as I was having battery drain as well and needed a solution.

I was happily surprised the next day. I hope all these issues are fixed by Samsung in ICS.

Maybe an app you've installed? Look for it on settings. It should be there.

Type "overflow betterbatterystats" into google and the second and third links may help you.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biggiestuff:
Same here. I get this issue from time to time with my galaxy nexus. I have to reboot to get it to go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TAT1980:
Ist it possible that lightflow is The Bad app .

It will logical. Cause the wakelocks are everytime when a message is coming in lightly send a command to the light notification to go on.

I think that's the app in my wakelocks.

I ll try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ks2:
I have the same entry with overflow on my galaxy s3. but from the list 3 posts up I only habe Beautiful widgets installed. and many other apps. I haven't installed lightflow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trifidw:
I've not had this return after removing beautiful widgets. My only other offender for random high battery usage is a gtalk process, which I understand is related to google sync rather than the app itself (which has since been removed).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ks2:
today I have the "overflow" process since many days back. The last weeks I had not this issue. Today I updated many apps in the market and remove "google googles".

And now, there it is. the "overflow" process is back.

Beautiful widgets is no more on my phone. I use now fancy widgets and many other programs.

I think this is a sporadic problem. I reboot my phone and looks forward.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ks2:
Reboot doesn't help to remove :crying:

Why the hell the process is back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marceldy:
i have the same with S3, any updates ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ks2:
not on my side.

the android 4.1 is out. but at this time only on kies. I have'nt try it out. but i think it is an user installed application that goes to "overflow"

it looks like the battery live time is the same without the overflow, so i ignore it ;)

I'm fairly convinced it was Beautiful Widgets causing my problem.

I also found Samsung Sync was an offender for increased battery usage, disabling it has increased battery life from 2 and a bit days to 3 and a bit.

I have found light flow to partial wakelock many many times even while I am not receiving notifications. It's a shame really, it's such a nice app, but not worth the battery hit.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Follow either guide in the first or second link in my signature to upgrade to rooted Ginderbread with CWM. If gou follow the second guide - Flash with bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] angel200:
I also plan to root the CWM and flash ROM ...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
If you have CWM you are rooted.

The second link in my signature will give you rooted Gingerbread 2.3.6 with CWM.

If you are currently on Froyo you have to FLASH BOOTLOADERS. After following the guide you will be able to flash a custom ROM.

Directions for flashing a custom ROM with CWM can be found in the first link in my signature. Find the section for flashing Custom ROM's.

What is the best way to swap batteries with different capacity?

I noticed then when you put a new one it retains the old %. Wiping the battery stats helped a little but the reading is still incorrect because the phone stayed on web surfing in 3g for 30m with 1% which is impossible.

Also what app can I use to test the battery duration? like a stress tool that does the same thing in cycles so I can see which battery lasts more.
[LG Optimus 2x] silentmelodies:
Just use the phone normally, after a few charging cycles the readings will match the actual %. Wiping battery stats doesn't really help, as it is not really related to reading the battery's state as some people used to believe.

Use the Battery Drain app by Waza_Be found in Google Play. It records the time every 1% decrease, letting you to know how long 1% of your battery lasts :)
[LG Optimus 2x] MoFosis:
Like silentmelodies said,

this will settle with your battery being fully charged a few more times.

I am using battery calibration app everytime I install a new rom.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
It doesn't work :( The indicator is stuck at the previous level
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Leave the battery out for at least 15 seconds before inserting the new battery. Then you'll get the correct reading. Don't be quick ;-)
[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
Yep, what I also do is tap the power button to clear any residual charge, seems to allow me to change batteries faster.
[LG Optimus 2x] kemmo123:
its bad practice, but I pull the battery out with the phone on, but screen off. the new battery will show the correct percentage...

[HD2 General] atlaswing:
Has anyone tried using a PowerMat Droid X induction charger on the HD2? It has a microUSB plug tethered to the induction battery door, so it looks like it can go on any device with microUSB charging ports, as long as you velcro the Droid X battery door to your device, and cut off the extraneous edges off that door.

links:

BestBuy's online clearance website CowBoom usually has the whole package for $5, includes battery door and docking charger base.

http://www.cowboom.com/product/1012918

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00462QB6U

HD2 is now over 2yrs old, but if the Droid X microUSB powermat can be trimmed and custom fit to the HD2, it's futureproof for your next phone or tablet too! Anyone tried it?

EDIT:

Amazon now has the HD2 powermat door for $6. No more need to mod.
[HD2 General] atlaswing:
Amazon now has the HD2 powermat door for $6 free shipping with Prime or $25. No more need to mod the Droid X powermat door, but original idea still looks interesting for charging other microUSB devices. Anyone tried either of these on the HD2?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00462QB9C/

edit:

there's no need to mod anything if using the $6 amazon back cover. Search wasn't working before, but found some links with pictures of the pins if anyone wants to glue the DroidX cover into the HD2 car-dock pins.

IT WORKS !!!!!

After many months of agony the micro USB port of my HD2 died a month ago. Thanks to llofthou and powermat my HD2 is fully charged.

For those who could benefit from this experience here is how i proceeded and it was quite easy.

First i bought a powermat cover...and unfortunately the serial is long past the limit...

Because i did not want to open it the normal way (i thought i woul never manage to put the screen in place) I Just used a dremel grinder to cut the plastic and metal behind the sim card (easier than i thought). see iloftou's drawing for more info. I arrived directly on the thing to solder. OK it's small but not that small, i took my Hd2 to the electronic shop by the corner and he did the soldering in 5 min. Seems it wasn't a big problem for him..

Thank to all the community to achive these prodigies.

My AT&T galaxy s2 has been dropping calls a lot recently. I went to an AT&T corporate store and had a new SIM card put in but it didn't seem to help. When it drops a call I am in a decent area, usually on the highway, or in my house. My wife's captivate never drops calls. My phone also always has 3 to 4 bars when this happens. I am now wondering if it is an actual phone problem or if it's software.

I talked to a manager at the AT&T store and he said that they can call Samsung Warranty department and get a new one sent out to me for free because it's still under the year warranty. The problem with that is I had to go through two of these phones before I found one that the screen did not have an issue LOL. The camera is also perfect on this one. Someone please help.

Thanks to all and have a wonderful evening.

Make sure you read as much as you can and fully understand before attempting any of this. Maybe first check with your local ATT shop to see if they can update or change your modem.

Do pay close attention to make sure you don't trip the counter. I think the only way to reset it is with a jig that you can order but mine took 6 weeks to arrive so you may not be able to get one in time to make a return. You might want to order a jig even if you decide to keep the phone. Just Google JIG SGH-I777 to learn more about them and where to buy them.

I ordered mine through Ebay. It shipped for free from Hong Kong I believe. Probably cost more to ship it to me than what I paid. LOL. I wish I'd ordered several.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You don't have to, since it's accurate, right? I just had to ask. Tons of people have flashed wrong firmwares to their phones.

But back onto the subject, by your screenshot, you're already running ICS.

And for every recommendation, no two people's tastes and usage habits are alike, so what one person may like, you may not. Really, you should just flash and use, until you find one you like.

Okay, ahead of time I'm not new to flashing and so on. I've had an HTC EVO 4G up until now and just use VoIP for phone/text usage these days. I now have the Galaxy Player 5 as of like an hour ago. I believe I have the US version (I'm not sure of the difference) as I'm in the US. It has no physical buttons just the ones that light up and it says "Model: YP-G70 IC: 649E-YGP70" on the back (which is white plastic).

My question is what is the easiest way to get ICS running on this or what's the best ROM? I rooted my EVO over a year ago and I've just been using CWM to do everything since then so I'm rusty on how to go about this. Thank you ahead of time!

[HTC Rezound] Anderew:
I just went through updating to the new firmware and flashed cleanrom and I'm noticing a few problems that I can't figure out by basic searching around.

First (and this is minor), when I adjust the brightness of the screen in the dropdown menu, it doesn't "stick" after the screen is turned off then on again, it goes back to the default brightness unless I lower the brightness in the settings menu. This isn't a big deal, but if someone knows a fix or if I'm missing something I'd appreciate input.

The second issue is more irritating. No matter what I do, the system chooses a default browser app when I click an internet related link. I prefer not to set a default, and it really gets annoying when I click a youtube or play store link and it brings me to the stock browser instead of letting me choose the designated app. Clearing default on the stock browser makes me go directly to chrome instead, and unchecking chrome makes me go to the stock browser again. I have never had this happen on any other phone, device, or ROM I've ever had, and I'm going crazy because its the first time I honestly can't figure out why its doing this! :p I think I've narrowed it down to the "htclinkifydispatcher" app, because if I freeze the app it doesn't do anything at all (as opposed to opening either chrome or 'internet'). I just want my app selection window back!

Honestly this is just getting in the way of me thoroughly enjoying reddit on my phone at work, so its extra frustrating :rolleyes:

Does anyone know about this problem or a way to solve it? Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've tried rewiping and flashing the rom again to no avail, the same issues persist.

EDIT 2: I fixed the second problem, so if anyone else is experiencing this, (back it up first just in case) delete htclinkifydispatcher, it seems to have a strong desire to select your default browser for you instead of allowing you to choose for yourself, and simply freezing it does nothing.
