All and l mean all the geezers (the top brass anyway) at xda are going to send hitmen for me for thus next comment : DEEP BREATH and here goes - It could be the roms , flashing etc , or to placate any er hitmen the particular Roms that you're using could be to blame you know! Android or Samsung or both also have had a problem with some phones having a runaway processor BUG . By that i mean the Android OS (you'll find it underbattery usage) goes crazy on some phones and decimates Batt life. check it out and think about your errrr emm ROMS. OH dear there's a knock at the door........!!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
It would really surprise me if it was the ROM that im using. I've been reading through the ROM's thread and some users have battery life lasting 2 days. With screenshots to back it up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tpmullan:
You should try ICS and see if that helps with your battery life any.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
I have a rogers phone. For now, the ICS leak doesn't work on rogers phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
kageuni it's your Android Os . i would pt a bet on it. on gb 2.3.5 my Os shows about 13 % Batt usage. on gs2 the screen should be the biggest Batt eater. if you use the screen on for 2-3 hours or more then your screen should show up as biggest out one of the biggest Batt suckers. but check it out on Web about Android Os bug. hope this helps. and from what I've read about gs2 ics there's no way i'm shifting from GB .Not yet anyway.not for a long time. it's nearly 250megs and for what. so most of your apps won't be compatible with it ( not for a while anyway) and I've read that Batt life is dismal too on ics. i will not upgrade for that reason alone until it's tidied up!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
tpmullan have you tried ics and on what phone buddy?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
one more thing: if it's not your Android os then check if you keep wi-fi Bluetooth etc on and See if it's a ROGUE app by using Batt stats. I've not used it so i can't help. but remember these two things- their os or some stupid app in the background,..good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
You might be right. Do you use a custom ROM and kernel or are you just on stock?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
i'm on the one that It came with. I've not even started thinking about roms for good reason i feel. i'm not comfortable or confident with roms yet. i'm still on my uk. carriers GB 2.3.5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
for alot of folks the rogue app was something to do with wi-fi killing their Batt in a very aggressive way.what's you're Batt usage tell you usually?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Just so you know you are in the wrong forum bud. Just letting you know so you dont flash any of our roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
What do you mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Not you buddy, the other guy giving advice(fida khan)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
i think the mod was referring to me being in wrong forum. listen man i'm not here to here to step on anybody's toes or turf. i'm a complete Nbey and i'm just learning the ropes. a regular guy on a humble stock ui. i respect your expertise ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You're fine my friend, I was just making sure you knew what forum you were in is all. I didn't want you to accidentally flash something from here as it will brick your phone. You are welcome to post in whatever forum you want, but it may help you more to read up on your forum and learn what roms and things are for your phone. Just letting you know because a lot of people lately are flashing the wrong stuff and making their phone a paperweight. LoL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
listen guys since i got my gs2 I've been researching freakin Batt life pros and cons. that's about all I've concentrated on learning. apart from that I've not even rooted my gs2. i had loads of free time ( woman trouble) so i just used my gs2 to while away the nights ;);) and learnt about power consumption. so when i finally get bored with stock I'll come to xda guys for expertise and advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
Ah, I see. Either way im open to all suggestions. Im curious to see what happens if i revert to stock with root. Good thing I made it a habit of making a nandroid before flashing anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
i would definitely give stock a try or even GB 235 .it's supposed to have good power consumption and comes with power management too
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
absolutely sound man!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
this is proper nooby question now. how do i get to include someones post in my answer to them. i mean the blue/green text of the guy i'm talking to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
I don't use the xda app but on their website there is a quote button at the bottom of each post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
i think I've just found the WAY. long pressing brings up menus and one off em is 'quotes'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
You just touch the post you wanna quote
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
yessss it worked. and you want to try the xda app. it's quite brilliant.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
nice one xcrazydx !!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
kageuni I've just checked xcrazydx's profile and i was right .he's a.senior member. the hitmen might be arriving any minute now. if you get an empty msge from me kageuni call 911 straight away:p:p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lonestarbuzz:
OP, you said you were using the MHX Superlite rom. i use that one too, but it took a couple days to really show me an improvement in battery life. i've had a stock SR since it came out, but i was sick of the terrible battery life. i flashed Superlite last week and now my battery has significantly improved. i'm not getting days, and i still need to charge it every night, but now my low batt signal doesn't go off till about midnight (off charger around 7:30 am).

i might stick it out a few more days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Your a sr. Member man everyones afraid they clearly never met me haha I'm the angry old sr. Member
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] noberly0203:
I have been running silver's Rom for over a month. The battery life is good. I use it moderately. My battery last all day. Give it a try. I have had no issues with the Tom at all. Follow silvers install directions and you will have no problems
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
Is 3 hours at 86% battery normal? im using it as a music player during my 3 hours break in school.

Edit: What is Mediaserver and why is it eating 12% of my battery?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] drzacharyus:
That sounds about right, I am getting about 1.25 days out of mine with moderate usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] polish_pat:
1% per minute??? i have a hard time believing that, but consider juice defender ultimate...i have a good 20 hours of battery everyday since i have it, with the right settings on and LTE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
mediaserver is just the music player with a fancy name. and Pp one% per minute means some rogue app or program is eating all your battery. that's the main reason for such a huge loss of Batt life. but i guess xda and a clean write will sort something out for you. i mean you can always wrote your
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
5 Hours at 75% battery. Looks like im back to normal battery life. And it seems that removing Go locker and some widgets solved the issue. By the there wouldn't happen to be a battery life reference thread for the skyrocket around here, somewhere? It would be nice If i could compare my battery life with others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
I believe I wrote 1% every few minutes. it would be at almost half battery after 2 hours
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
can you say which widgets you UN-installed. always good to know what apps-widgets kill Batt life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kagenui:
I removed the go sms widget, the weather widget and the onavo widget(monitors data usage). Basically I removed widgets that need an internet connection to update their info. Or widgets that are constantly being updated. The only widget I have running now is called Power savings. It's basically a bunch of toggles to turn on/off wi-fi, bluethooth, GPS, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fida khan:
thanks . i d loaded onavo and it was too aggressive , trying to kp itself updated. and yeah some of those weather widgets are always searching for updates too. when ever i have had widgets on screen I've usually turned updates off or every 6hrs .keeps em in check;);)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I am trying to be nice, but those duplicate threads everywhere and nonsense in the dev thread are very annoying.

[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Could we get this script modified to work with our roms/kernels?!
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
A QUESTION IN GENERAL GRRRRR

Jk :p sounds like a good idea but how functional would it even be?
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I had it in a old version of my rom. It messes up voltage control and doesn't give that big of a gain.
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Thanks for the feedback guys!
[Epic 4G General] SaveMEH92:
help

hey guys straight up noob here. well somewhat. i have calkulins latest rom for epic touch version 3.0 (not the ics rom)..anywho i wanted to know whats da best settings when editing the battery saver script.?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] statik213:
1. I've installed ICS passion on my phone and am unable to install Google plus.

I keep getting an insufficient space error (see attachment), but all my partitions seem to have a healthy chunk of free space.

/dev/block/mtdblock2 250.0M 206.6M 43.4M 83% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 17.5M 2.3M 15.2M 13% /cache

/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 1.8G 880.0M 1009.8M 47% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock6 172.0M 98.2M 73.8M 57% /datadata
/dev/block/mtdblock4 12.5M 6.6M 5.9M 53% /efs
/dev/block/vold/179:9

/dev/block/vold/179:1
12.8G 9.0G 3.8G 70% /mnt/sdcard

I haven't run in to issues installing other apps.

2. I have a large number of apps installed on my phone and as a result ran out of space in /datadata. I moved a few of the larger directoreis to /data/data2 and symlinked the directory to /datadata. Is this the usual way to deal with running out of space in /datadata?

Thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyA:
I have noticed in the past that google+ takes A LOT of space for some reason (when I noticed that, it was well over 200MB - more than 2x what you show as available in datadata)

I usually install/restore and then immediately move it to SD when I flash a new rom, although that doesn't really help your current situation.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeavyA:
Not sure why the XDA app won't let me edit my previous post to add a picture, but whatever.

after thinking about this for a while, I think that perhaps the large space requirement was a result of G+ and the automatic picture uploading feature.

I could be wrong, but it does reserve a lot of space over and above what any of my other apps take.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] statik213:
Figured it out. I had a symlink in /datadata for the google+ app to /data. This was tripping up market.

Removing the symlink fixed the issue.

Thanks for helping.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleman27:
Hey guys!

You gotta thrown me a bone here...

I read some of the posts and I could not find the answer... Been here for a while and find xda as a home.

Question, is this the right place for the P6210? If not...please provide link.

A world of thanx!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdawson6:
I have a note here...its bricked, the owner tried flashing angelrom ICS, and bricked it.

It gets stuck when it starts writing factoryfs.img.

I have tried properly repartitioning it, installed a stock bootloader from a gt-n7000 stock rom, and that at least allowed me to get back into android system recovery. I wiped the data and cache and tried again.

I tried a stock rom that had multiple parts, and one that had the individual parts. I can flash all of the individual parts successfully but the PDA.

Anybody encounter this, and know a fix? I would really appreciate any tips or suggestions.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdawson6:
Just wanted to give some more information. I followed Ketan's guide to flash to stock rom, and tried multiple stock roms with the same results.

So I also tried repartioning with the proper pit file (the 16gb n7000) and that didn't work.

The only bootloader I could seem to find (because that was the next logical step to me) was "KERNEL_N7000XXKJ1_CL627135_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5" , would that be compatible with all stock roms or just a specific one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anilisanil:
I am sorry bro. You fried your flash drive, there is no way to revive it. The motherboard has to be replaced.

There isn't anything one can do if you flashed that kernel. If you have warranty head to Samsung service.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Yep, anilisanil is right. People who had found themselves in the same predicament tried absolutely everything, but there was no cure whatsoever. Data partition corrupted beyond repair, not even JTAG could help.

Motherboard replacement is the only thing that can be done.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:

Sorry, it seems You have no option but to go service centre.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdawson6:
Yeah...I figured it was beyond hope after reading through a lot of the threads....

I did reset the counter with a jig, and took away the yellow triangle...but I was told samsung won't warranty this model in the USA.

Thanks for your replies!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notegalaxy:
Just a little query. Whats the actual physics behind this? Like how can some software fry the drive? Just a little interested and wondered how it actually physically happened. Because my assumption before all this was that it cant be truly completely bricked (obviously i was wrong). but wondering how!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
I contacted yokowo about getting some pogopins, just a couple to build a couple docks for use at home and the office here was the response I got:

Needless to say I do not want to purchase 1000, nor do I have the financial capital to do so.

Anybody been able to secure some through mouser or digikey?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xformulax:
i work in the semiconductor industry and we have a partnership with mouser, i'll see if i can do some asking around.

as far as what yokowo said, i'd tell them you're not about to purchase 1k quantity if they're not right for your application, and without samples you will be unable to do business with them :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arnmsctt:
I ordered these, but they just shipped today so I have no idea if they are going to work or not yet. I was charged $8.66 for six, including first class USPS shipping. It may take a few days to get here but I'll update this thread when I receive them, if there is interest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 91ludesit:
Awesome! I hope they work, I'll be waiting to hear back from you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subvertz:
Made my own here Ugly, but surprisingly still working after a week.

Knowing that there are only a handful of people in the world charging via pogo in the car makes the project worthwhile. But it doesn't help the Samsung/Google situation....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tjhart85:
I asked yokowo if I could buy five. They sent me two for free instead :confused:

It's a win, but I did want a few more ... haven't had a chance to make the dock yet though (still waiting on other parts).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arnmsctt:
Well I received my order of these today, which was quite a bit sooner than expected. After inspecting them and comparing them to the contact points on the phone, I'm almost certain that these will work. Unfortunately, I don't have the other pieces to make my actual dock yet, so I can't give a 100% guarantee. However, I did take some photos for everybody else to check out. The only potential issue I can see is that the post for connecting/soldering the wire is very small, so it may make things difficult. However, the actual pogopins that will make contact with the phone have a nice springiness that should allow for a solid connection on that end. At this point, I'm very happy that I bought these. As I said, though, I haven't been able to test them yet to ensure proper functionality. I uploaded the photos to imgur, out of focus shots and all. Hope that helps you decide.
[HTC EVO 3D] mvmacd:
I listed my used Apple iPod touch 4g 64GB on Craigslist for $220 OBO, or for trade [specified I was interested in android tablets], and someone txted me and said they would trade their Evo 3d for it.

Is it worth it? or is my ipod worth more? my ipod has a few scratches on the screen, but not too bad..but it is 64GB..

Also, I am not on Sprint so the phone would only be for resale, or as a wifi-only android.

any thoughts?
[HTC EVO 3D] knowledge561:
64GB Ipod Touch 4 goes for like $400 retail right? Used bu great condition would be like $300. Worth more than a 3D in my opinion.
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
IPod is definitely more. Especially for 64GB. EVO is about 200
[HTC EVO 3D] dr.chucky:
The iPod is definitely worth more, but a phone has more uses. But seeing as how you aren't on Sprint, its no use to you. I suggest trading for a phone for the carrier your on
[HTC EVO 3D] mvmacd:
alright thanks! I told him he would have to add cash, or no deal.

but I'd rather not have to deal with it so the deal is pretty much off
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Yeah as others mentioned, the EVO barely goes for $200 now a days. Or at least in my case, I sold it for $170.

how do u use the controller at the same time as using a controller? is there a splitter or something ?

You can use a Bluetooth controller (Wii, ps3, etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rickyboy199554:
Ps3 controller and wii controller its bluetoth but the xbox controller its not, u have to plug in the adapter that receives the signal. That means u can't play with xbox controller and plug it in on the tv simaltaniously.

It dosen't come in the controls option, but sixaxis controller app will take care of that for u XD

[HTC Sensation XL] salahfathi:
I saw multiple threads on this forum about people reporting issues about this phone screen including cracks and scratches and even breaking my question is is this true although the phone screen should have Gorilla glass ? And do I need to put on screen protector ?

Thanks in advance and hoping someone should answer me.
[HTC Sensation XL] klaoo:
check the Corning's website, in the products section, for HTC phones, and you'll see that it's not listed there... neither Sensation XL, nor Sensation XE, only the regular Sensation...

also, I've talked to a guy from HTC support (Romania), and he confirmed that the Sensation XL does not come with Gorilla Glass, unfortunately...

some users say they don't use any screen protection, and they didn't get any scratches, others say they did... so, maybe some of them have, others don't...I think you should consider buying a screen protector...

I'm buying this phone in a few days, and, even though I'd really like to use the phone as it is (no case/screen protector), for the money I'm paying for it, I though it's best to get a case and a screen protector... at least for a while...
[HTC Sensation XL] salahfathi:
but how can this happen? such a unique phone doesn't have gorilla glass inspite other earlier phones have it.and regarding the gorilla website ,if you check that list you will see that some recent phones aren't listed as well like htc titan and htc one.Iam really confused.
[HTC Sensation XL] Gunman84:
IT DOES HAVE GORILLA GLASS, I HAVE MY PHONE ( XL ) FOR A FEW MONTHS AND I HAVE NO SCRATCHES ON IT, OR ANY KIND OF DAMAGES. AND FOR THE MOST PART I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROTECTIVE CASE, AND I NEVER USED SCREEN PROTECTOR. AND FOR THOSE PEOPLES THAT HAVE PROBLEMS ,THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T TAKE ANY CARE FOR THEIR PHONES, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SOME HANDFUL OF PEOPLES THAT WOULD COMPLAIN OVER THE QUALITY OF THEIR PHONE SCREENS :cool::eek:
[HTC Sensation XL] marco473:
Dude, check out the thread i started. I have alot of issues with the screen but i take really good care of my phone. I have a big scratch at the top of my phone, which probably got there cause the screen couldnt handle the difference in temperature of warm pockets and cold winter air.
