So I just restored my razr using fastboot and it finally boots up, but for the initial setup it gets stuck at the "please wait this may take a while" pop-up. Does it just take an extraordinarily long time or is there something wrong? I assume there's something wrong so any idea how to fix this?

[Epic 4G General] Stringyquark:
but if you need gps it may not work in airplane mode.

just tried this om cm9 and while in airplane mode it will not lock any sats for me. but if i take it out of airplane mode while it's trying to get a lock it will get one as soon as it finds a tower and keep it after i turn airplane mode back on. something to think about if you were going to get around with google maps in a foreign land. and i had my home wifi on for this quick, unscientific test.

on the plus side this should get you excellent battery life with the radios off. :)

[Epic 4G General] incisivekeith:
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you are in a country where you do not have Sprint affiliates, you shouldn't be charged anything for using your phone for merely the wireless or the GPS functionality. Sprint has to know you will be using the phone internationally, and only then, will your connection be activated in that new country - not automatically. Isn't this true?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
When I'm at school (5 days a week) most of my classes are in a building where I do not get a lot of reception, aka, my battery gets killed by the phone to keep up the signal. I do get reception, around 1-2 bars, but that still drains the battery extremely fast. Is there any app or something that I can do to help reduce the amount of battery drain?

I don't want to put the phone into air plane mode because I can still send and receive text messages, but it's just very slow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
Have you tried putting it in cdma only mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cttttt:
You could save a lot of battery life by either connecting to a wifi hotspot (if available) or by turning off background data. The problem your phones having is that it has to turn the gain way up on its cellular radio in order to transmit and receive data. By reducing the amount of background data usage (or off loading it to another network with better signal--i.e. wifi) you'll save a lot of juice.

If you can't do either, there are some things you can do with Tasker to reduce data usage to windows of time instead of always on. May be something to consider.

I've been suffering this too but I got unlimited data so not so worried. As far as I know it's a bug with ICS itself. There is a wifi fix thread knocking about these forums somewhere I think that might be of some use. Can't post links on mobile it's a pain in the arse but search might bring it up.

Crazy how my 16gb Tab has filled up so quickly.

I know Samsung dumped a load of stuff on it but I don't have any music on it, few vids, but the games take up quite a lot.

Wish I had gone for 32gb now.

Are USB STicks effective? Might need to get a 32gb one.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] GadjetGirl59:
You can use an usb, I use that for my movies instead of on the tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] quangtrungh:
You should store video on usb, remove old games, and clean rubbish file on your tab.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Johnnyboy84:
I know the feeling but i got back space by streaming music and movies. I use my tab at home so I have no need to put music & video on the tab. Maybe you should consider it.

Best thing I've found to do is keep a stock of films on the external card and when you want to watch one copy it to the internal card and detach. Only takes a couple of minutes and then you can watch them normally without having to have it up side down.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
It is very annoying that they didn't include an SD slot in this thing. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, but then they want to sell the higher volume ones for an extra $100 like Apple... Bah.

For me I don't tend to put films or music on it, so I have plenty of space since it's all just apps and books. My music all goes on my phone, and I stream films on Netflix. Problem is that I don't have films where there's no Wi-Fi, but I've considered using rental for those situations.

One option is cloud solutions like dropbox... You can always store your movies in your dropbox folder on PC and download them from the app when you want to watch them...

Would like to know the answer to this, too. What is everyone using to connect to the unit, how is it formatted. And how fricking STUPID is it that these moron companies are not adding SD slots to these things? I mean are they seriously that stupid?!? Good grief....how dumb....
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] pseudo_nomen:
As sad as it sounds, companies sell tablets with no external storage option because we (and consumers that just plain don't know any better) keep buying them. Granted, it's a self-licking ice cream cone situation - SD slotless tablets are produced to cut corners and the bottom line, consumers keep buying them (even buying more - the tablet market is the strongest it's ever been) because that's all there is available: therefore companies are justified saving a few cents on each tablet they sell that lacks an SD slot.

The perfect way to change a "standard." Force the market to skew a certain direction and use that as an "indicator" to what consumers want.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] sbeddoesdesign:
Not stupid, just greedy. They want to sell you a 32GB, 64GB etc. version for a good chunk of extra money at next to no cost to them, like Apple.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Adapt0r:
Contrary to some ppl I think removing SD card is not such a big deal. It makes the tab cheaper and saves me money. If I need extra data I have two adapters for usb devices and flash memory allowing me to get what I want.

Personally I find it wiser for my budget.

Having sd card slot on honeycomb is not really a good thing. On the stock galaxy tab 7.7 the sdcard is mounted as read only, can only write with system apps. (unless you root that is) .. thats why all my gaming emulator roms had to be on the internal storage.

With google increasing the limit from 50mb to 4gb .. we gonna need more internal storage.

It was horrible. While it looks good in pictures it felt cheap and flimsy. I stopped using it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsmth663:
pretty sure it violates some law of physics for a battery to self charge :O

its probably a software glitch where the phone thinks it has used more battery than it actally has then it rechecks and realised it hadnt used that much.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Basically. The battery graph is more of a guess of how much you have left based on current usage. If you use it a lot it will think it has a lower battery percentage. When you stop using it it adjusts itself. It has to do with voltage going in and out and all of that technical crap but this is the gist of it.

My Infuse is rooted, to improve the GPS, but stock otherwise and I can't get the stock GB download; stupid device not registered issue.

Anyway been reading a ton of threads and I want a stable ROM to try and seems most people like Zeus or R3velation. Would you recommend R3velation and why or is there some other ROM that might be better, more stable.

I would like to get ICS themes too which I've seen some for the Infuse or an ICS ROM which I haven't seen yet for the Infuse.

I have yet to try Zeus 6, (I had GPS issues with the last release) but I am currently running Revelation on my phone right now, and LOVE it. The only change I had to make to it was to flash the KL2 modem over the LB3 modem that comes with the rom. For some reason the LB3 modem was EATING my battery life right in front of my eyes.

I have the odd issue where a call will drop when it's ringing when I'm calling out, and other issues where I can't get my bluetooth headset to connect, but they don't occur too often to make me upset.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] NunHugger:
Out truly is a matter of taste, in my opinion. Zeus will soon be updated to contain some ground breaking stuff. Revelation will not be getting those mods. I am working on a new rom, which I hope to include some of what zeus will have, just not all. Roms like Aeon and Vagabond are also solid choices...maybe even keep an eye out for Revolution. Try them all...then decide.

So about half a year ago AT&T waved their magic wand and detected my tethering on my Infuse 4G on stock Froyo with tethermanager.apk frozen. These days I'm on Miui (2.3.7 AOSP based) and I came up with a theory - use Orbot (Tor for Android) and its mode that routes tethering through the Tor network, onion routing it securely. Would AT&T be able to detect it?

I was using it quite a bit yesterday, and haven't gotten anything yet. I was tethering an OG Asus Transformer running ICS.

Anybody have ideas? Does Orbot protect you from deep packet sniffing?
