Sorry to hear about your accident. I know how you feel, happened to me with my new RayBan years ago.

Why don't you just fill out the contact sheet and let them know about your problem to purchase from their website. They probably have a 2nd site which did not get linked :eek:

Let us know how the story ends.

Good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Is it possible to rip an .apk from the phone? Something I installed via the market?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
Yup. Its in /data/app then copy and paste to tour sdcard. Or adb pull it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Will they always work in another device?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
The apks? Probably.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
Some will. Well most of your 3rd party apps from the market will. Some of the system .apk's won't. For example, I like the HTC Facebook. chat app, but when i tried to install it on Black Ice, it kept failing. Probably because it is a cyanogen based rom. Also my favorite search app is the Quick searck from TMobile with Google,Wikipedia Youtube,
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] invasion2:
MIUI has its own framework. Therefore, only those system apps will work on MIUI. Same goes for HTC. That's why it wouldn't work on Black Ice.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Also, just in case if you intend on trying to illegally distribute a paid app, some of them (I don't know how many, but probably many) have Market's legality check, and won't function when installed on a system they weren't purchased on.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
I'll leave this one alone..while i dont encourage it anymore, or waste my time trying to get 2 or 3 dollar apps for free..i can tell you that there isnt an app on the net that cant be gotten for free. I didnt think it was wrong years ago, but it is. Oddly i still like some of my old buddies that havent changed yet but I am blessed and I dont do anything i cant explain to my 4 yr old.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
I was specifically thinking about an app I paid for and want to install on my tablet though I have my tablet set up under a different gmail account. That's all. I can't be bothered to try to rip games or apps to save 3 or 4 bucks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
you still should be able to add a 2nd acct to your tablet, and then dl it...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Wait a sec... so I can add my phone's gmail account to my tablet, download the app, then switch back to the tablet's gmail account and actually see and use that app? I didn't think you could do that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
No, you won't see it downloaded. But you won't have to pay twice - if you paid for an app on your phone and you have the same account on your tablet, you will be able to download it on the tablet as well without paying again - you'll see the app as "purchased".
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjbadd385:
you can add the acct to your tablet, dl whatever app you purchased. You can leave both accts on your tablet and choose 1 as your primary acct. You can have mor than 1 acct on your device. when you open the app store press your menu button and select "accounts" and choose which one you want to use.
[HTC Incredible S] tazlooney89:
Hi, just bought this phone, but I have no connection 3G, I know that I should install radio or modem in order to have 3G network, I live in Mexico City, these are the data of mobile:

Android Version: 2.3.5

Software number: 3.08.405.3

Baseband version: 20.2805.30.085AU_3805.04.03.27_M

thanks for your help!
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Where did you purchase the phone from? What model number is this IncS?
[HTC Incredible S] tazlooney89:
buy it on ebay, I think is a European version :confused:, the model is PG32130
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
PG32130 is a European model, so it doesn't have the right frequencies to access 3G here in the Americas. A new radio is not going to fix it. The radio frequencies are hardwired and cannot be changed with radio software.
[HTC Incredible S] tazlooney89:
I'm not sure it's in europe, I can try changing the radio one for north america and if it does not return to the original?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There are not different versions of the radio for the different regions. The difference is in the phone models themselves. A model PG321300 has 3G frequencies of 900/1700/2100. You need a model PG321200 for the NA frequencies of 850/1900. The same radio file can run on both models and get 3G, but it depends on the phone.
[HTC Incredible S] tazlooney89:
ok, thanks, I'll have to run out of 3G :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
This is my 4th note. The 3 I had previously the battery lasted a long time. I kept the same battery from the first one in all three exchanges. I took the new battery for this fourth one. Could this battery be a bad one or should I return the phone again for a 5th time. I don't wanna take a chance getting a phone with the problems I had on the other 3.

Just looking for some opinions
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Here are some pics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Theoriginalgiga:
Good Lord, 3 exchanges! Wow... try running the battery all the way dead where the phone shuts itself down, keep it on the charger and charge it overnight (or in the realm of 8 hours) while leaving it off and see if that makes a difference. I ran my batt that way once and I'm getting 18 or so hours per charge (depending on how much I play with it).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Yea I tied that. Doesn't seen to make a difference. I hopes its just the battery cuz that way I can just buy a new battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Could it really be a defective battery? Seems more like battery drain would be a phone hardware issue. All the batteries are made the same right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zachsx:
I have horrible battery life as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] twolfekc:
Reflash your modem, rom, and kernel. See if that helps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
I only get about 3 hours of screen time myself. Seems normal for this phone. The huge screen eat up battery fast. Plus if your using LTE, so good bye to your battery.

I don't think you have a bad phone, That's just how it is in my opinion...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
so whats your total at the end.. like say.. 5%..?

If you're getting about 3hrs screen time, I'd say you'd be on par with what I'm getting. Some days I can eek out close to 5 hours screen time, usually on the weekends when im at home and on WiFi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] twolfekc:
I get about 4 hours and 45 Minutes of screen time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] djbubis:
Considering the size of the screen I am getting decent battery life, sounds like what your experiencing is normal :/ but going through 3 phones must be very frustrating.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Auto Brightness?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RicFusion:
I don't know why you guys are getting such horrible times. With regular use I'm getting an average of 8-10 hrs screen time, depending on what I'm doing. I'm running Saurom RCVI, with Da_g OC Kernel, and tweaked a few of the JKay settings. I recommend charging to 100%, wiping batter stats, and doing a power cycle on it. That's what I did after installing above Rom/Kernel, and battery went from from 4-5hrs to at a minimum 7hrs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
I would like to see a screen shot of that ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
Fighting battery problems here as well. I'd assume it was normal for this phone, except when I see people posting great times.

1 week old phone. Switched to Saurom yesterday to see if it's any better. Screen regularly at 5%. Usually on Wifi most of the day (and I'm not in an LTE market yet). I set all my synchs (rss, weather) to 4 hours. Others (Twitter) are manual. Only Exchange Email is push.

Using Cpusy & BetterBatteryStats to try to see what's going on. Could be a bad battery - could be that the number I'm seeing is wrong.

Anyway, I'm getting about a 7% drain an hour *with the phone off* ! I'm even rebooting as needed to make sure it's in deep sleep & not 384 (which is very, very annoying). Unplugging the phone @ 7am means a dead battery by 3pm. And if I'm using the phone, it's more like 12-15% an hour (min screen, reading a book). Been charging in the car and at work - whenever I can for now.

Going to try to run some tests on the new rom. Leave phone off for 30-60 minutes & track % loss. Then, maybe put it in airplane mode & try again.

Some weird ones I see to often - Adfree, Maps, Alarm Manager (which I understand can come from almost any of my apps). Oh - tried Juice Defender, no help there either (didn't make any difference at all)

Finally, in the car with Waze (gps), a Podcast Playing, and the screen cranked up for visibility - the car dock/charger keeps the phone about even. On my HD2, a drive to work would charge up like 20-30% of my phone.

Really, really hope I don't need to carry a 2nd battery for days when I can't keep the phone charging.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
How often do you get exchange emails? I stopped using push exchange email as it was a huge drain on the battery with the volume of emails I get...

With this phone the screen draws some serious juice, so if your using you phone in the car with the screen on its using about 950mah of juice, so your car charger will likely only keep this phone from losing power, it may not gain any juice, and it may even loose juice depending on charger power and what the phone is doing currently.

This is also why most of us are seeing about 3 hours of screen on time, as while the screen is on its using probably 700-800mah of power. divide that by the 2500mah battery and you can see why...

You can try other programs to try and help with things like background data, undervolting, etc, but that's all going to have a small effect as the "problem" is the screen, its eats up most of your juice. If you want to save battery you need to go after the big thing, the screen, not the little things. However short of reducing the brightness there's not a ton you can do about the screen. It is a big screen, and it needs big power to drive it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
I get about 5 an hour during the day. Will try setting it to once an hour in my testing instead of push.

I *think* (need to double check) that the charger is putting out 1A. Where did you get the 950m number from? Is there an appx. chart for different levels of screen brightness (how about 50% for example when in the car? oh - and how much lower is the 5% I use indoors?)

Agree, the #1 thing is the screen itself, which is why I get very confused when I have the large drain with the screen off.

I'll also have to try a test today where I turn on my podcast, but leave Waze off - and turn the screen off while it's charging in the car.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
950mah is an educated guess. If you have root you can run this in a terminal to see how much power you car charger is giving the phone... (su first)

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/batt_current_adc

I usually get about 9100 for a result, which is 910.0 mah. and my phone will charge barely if I dont have gps going (screen on). if screen is on and gps is on the phone will slowly discharge, so that puts the phone power usage at about 900mah with screen on, so maybe 950 was too high of a guess. So when the phone screen is on, your using a ton of juice for such a small battery.

If I use just a podcast app and the screen is off the phone will charge much faster while in the car. If I have google maps running, it stays almost even...

You could even calculate your usage. She how many minutes your were driving with the screen off and the phone charging and note the amount of battery% gained in those minutes. You'd see a huge difference in charging times with the screen off. In my 50 minute commute to work, I gain about 20% battery charging with the screen off... With the screen on, I see almost nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zachsx:
Seems like some days are better than others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
Battery life isn't really all that relevant without screen on time. I can go from 100% to zero in 3 hours if I'm using the screen alot, or over 24 hours if I don't.

Post a pic of your screen on time, that's the important stat and really should be how you gauge battery life...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
You'd have to think they tested this as one of the first things brought up in a design meeting. As in, hey - we know we want the big screen & we want to keep it slim, but we need to make sure to put a big enough battery in. (and someone deciding that 3 or so hours of on time was good enough)

I mean, if I was away from a charging spot that often, I guess a 2nd battery with a couple minutes of phone-off to swap wouldn't be sooo bad. But I sure would want some sort of desk/car charger that could charge it up without needing the phone itself (must search accessories).

In my case, I'm already in the habit of charging it whenever I'm sitting down or in the car. But days when I'm with the kids in a park or something and know I will be away from a charger for say 5 hours - I'm worried about losing 40-50% of life without even touching the phone. And why should I have this thing if I intend to not use it for fear of killing it in just hours?!?

(oh - and days like @ Disney where you need 14 hours - forget it!)

Then the friend with the smaller 3.7 or so inch screen tells me he is at 70% at the end of the day with moderate use...grr.

I would expect the bigger screen to use more battery, but I would not have thought it was thaaaaaat much more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omniphil:
My Galaxy Nexus wasn't that much better with its 4.65 inch screen. I got about 4 hours of screen on time and the kernels and tweaks to get more battery were way more prevalent. Using GPS and Google nav on that phone resulted in the battery charging, but it was something like 3% per hour. So It wasn't all that much better... (This was also using the 2100mah extended battery)

I think in all honesty they don't expect you to use your phone all that much, 4 hours screen on time is a good amount if your just doing small stuff all day long. I only charge my Note about once a day, same as all my other android phones.

The problem is there isn't any extended batteries yet that fit under the stock cover. and I'm guessing there wont ever be...

Its all a compromise, and battery life isn't what this phone is all about. You can't have your cake and eat a gift horse in the mouth?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zachsx:
2 hours and 35 min. Wont let me post a picture. It keeps saying Joey extention is wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking it may be an app keeping the phone from sleeping. I'm gonna flash back to stock and re-root then flash the rom again. I'll post my results
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] zachsx:
Keep us posted. I'm intrigued now. :) good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
OP. Click in the area that shows your unplugged time. That bar is solid blue below your graph. That means your phone is awake the whole time. Download cpuspy and let it monitor for a whole day. You have a wakelock.

In other words click the graph that says "9h 29m 11s on battery" above the display percentage setting. Your device appears to be awake most of the time = rampaging app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Me too. That seems way too high.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
My battery is substantially better. Thisbis about average.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
thanks for the info. I downloaded cpuspy before bit I don't know how to use those apps like what to look for. It confuses me =/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ray_Banci:
Why return a phone so many times? If you want a longer battery buy an extended battery pack. Everybody here gets about 3-4 hours of screen on and the battery is dead. Unless your watching a movies every day this ain't too big of a problem.

When I had my cappy it was like 1 hour of screen time. My friends HTC thunderbolt looses 4% just turning it on. WERE LUCKY MUHAHAHA

Its not the phone its you and the rom your running try buying juice defender pro **** it lasts me 6 hours without dyin after heavy use! And running a custom theme. You sir need to stop flashing roms
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Skizz, on CPUspy it shows how longbyour device has been running at each clock speed. The bottom is your time listed in deep sleep.

Download "BetterBatteryStats" from the market and select "Partial Wakelocks" to see what's keeping your phone awake. This app will tell you the specific name of the process that's preventing your phone from sleeping, making it easier to fix.

Download BetterBatteryStats and CPUspy and use your phone for a day. Check the areas I listed in this post and see what's preventing your phone from sleeping- I feel that this is the root of your issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Elemino:
I've been testing different charging techniques for my phone. I learned my phone takes nearly twice as long to charge from dead to full charge using my Kindle Fire charger (1.8 A) vs the stock Samsung charger (1A). The difference is the phone holds it's charge longer when charged with the KF charger. I think Samsung provided us an inadequate charger. Don't expect miracles, but using a bigger charger may help. If you can afford it, I recommend the iPad charger. (2A).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Dude chill out. The first phone had dead pixels, the second overheated, and the their had a scratch in the screen. Nothing to do with battery. Know the whole sorry sir before you preach your knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Thanks man that's perfect. That's exactly what I was looking for. I'll post my results
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
No matter how much you try to conserve/sip precious battery power, 1 battery wont be enough for most of us power users. Might i suggest you folks invest in something like Samsung's spare battery charger. I scored one on the bay for $30 bones. Now i laugh at trying to be a battery miser all day. With this handy accessory, when i leave for work every day i have 2 batteries charged to 100%.

Being able to charge a spare battery, without it being in the phone is much more efficient. Its very compact when folded down and fits in your pocket with ease. Plus the charger doubles as a stand and a battery case to boot!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Ok so I charged my battery to 100% and let it sit for 8 hours without turning it on. My screen on time is 6 mins just so I could take these pics. I'll post more results when the battery us at 5 or so %.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] antoniouslj:
Did you disable background data and auto-sync?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] schrochem:
On your 4th pic "Alarm Manager" has quite a few wakelocks.

Is that normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] polstein:
From what I've read elsewhere, Alarm Manager is called by all sorts of apps to wake up the phone to check something; for instance Yahoo Mail. Alarm Manager by itself isn't an app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
On the last picture I don't know what those apps are besides YouMail that are waking the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
The battery that comes included with the charger, is the same Samsung OEM 2500mAh battery that came with your Note. No cheap Chinese knock offs here bro. Yes, the battery life is the same as stock battery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Does this mean Facebook is keeping my phone from sleeping?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xplan9:
Need a more thorough post next time :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
The long and borinng steps for "battery calibration" are a myth. Android auto-recalibrates every time the phone drops below 5%, check battery log for proof. Anandtech tried battery calibration and reported 0.5 -0.8% increase in battery life. Most of the percieved gains are mental or from slightly altered visible battery %, not actual life. I wouldn't bother.

Based on screenshots, the reported usage doesn't really seem out of line. The alarm manager is normal. Try killing all facebook notifications. That app is notorious foe background "data loops", which keep the radio busy trying to update status. This wouldn't show the app specifically as being a power drain, instead the radio would be draining the power due to the apps loop.

Your deep sleep time isn't abnormal. If you have time, let your phone get to like 5%, lock it, and don't touch it for 1-2 hours. Unlock it and see if your battery % goes up. When android recalculates at the sub 5% mark, you can see battery % go up from the new power reading. So, android could be reporting 5% battery, when in fact, you have 15% left. After that calibration change occurs, it'll save it in the battery stats file and report a more correct number, thus making the reported battery % drop slower.

The screen is a big drain but I get over 5h screen on time and 20h unplugged time in LTE Atlanta. I'm stock battery and totally stock software. There's no reason you shouldn't have the same battery life. I agree with above though- any app you don't need, uninstall. That said, I have over 200 and still get great battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
Thanks so much for all your help. So could my phone or battery be a lemon if what you're seeing seems normal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
My blue bar is solid again. I flashed back to stock, wiped everything, and installed Saurom's rom. I don't remember my wifi staying on constantly before. I was using TPC rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
I LOVE this phone, but the poor battery life is really getting to me. I'm REALLY thinking hard lately about going with the SG2. Over on their forum they are getting close to 2-3 days on a charge :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Skizzy034:
A little better I suppose

P.S. I'll be using the phone for example and it'll drop from 74 to 70 in like two mins. I have a feeling if I use the phone more my battery life will be horrendous. It did this earlier. I went to check my fb and xda and it dropped from 84 to 81 in two mins.

I'm afraid to see what my battery life would be like if I turned my brightness up to anything higher than half way or if I over clock

Serious Question

to everyone here claiming battery problems... who has had a phone where they were able to achieve MORE than 3-5 hours screen-on time? or some settings to achieve the magical battery life some people claim? I have had various android phones on Sprint/Verizon and AT&T/t-mobile and have yet to experience an android device with battery life that was beyond expectations.. (Maybe the Razr Maxx) but i've had a: G1,Mytouch,Samsung Moment,HTC EVO 4G, SamsungEpic 4G,T Galaxy S4g, HD2 (Nandroid), Mytouch 4G, Original Motorola Droid, Droid Incredible, Htc Sensation and now the Galaxy Note. All of them were rooted,ROM'd, undervolted, and underclocked, battery calibrated, etc, etc. So far this has been one of the longest lasting devices i've had. my advice? keep a charger nearby..
