Hello all together

I'm browsing xda for a little more than a year now. You guys helped me a lot!

First I want to apology my english, I hope you understand what I want to say

Not a long time ago the battery of my WFS lasted up to 3 days (incredible if I think of it now).

That was with a self rooted stock rom and some changes (bravia, turboboost script, oc-kernel, etc.).

Out of nowhere I had problems with my calendar.sync.provider. Processes htc.bg and htc.bgp used the most of my battery (found out with Battery Mix).

I could watch the percent falling... Battery was getting very hot.

After i killed calendar.provider and calendar itself those bg-processes disappeared and all went back to normal.

Installed m1nd's rom, tried a lot of different settings, used calengoo instead of normal calendar (uninstalled the other)...

But battery life was never the same since then.

We also had a really rough winter and I was outside a lot. my battery began to drain faster. First I began to install apps like "auto wifi toggle" to stop that battery drain, after all I just bought a new battery this spring - 1500mAh.

But other than i expected - battery life did not increase. So I decided to install CM7.2 (wanted to do it anyway - great work btw!).

And guess what, nothing changed...

You will find some screenshots at the end... (did barely use the phone this 4 hours)

So what can I do? I'm desperate. The battery does not hold the whole day...

Please give me some tipps (if you have others than the general battery saving thread) or at least cheer me up :p

tl;dr: Phone works for 10h (mail,text, no phones, no games) - Changing battery & ROM does not fix battery drain...

Thank you in advance!
[HTC Wildfire S] striker280:
it happens to me too unfortunately, i charge it everyday or every 2 days

when i play a small mini game for a few minutes, battery drains like over 10% in a few minutes.

Have you tried calibrating the battery?
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
No such thing, its a myth!

Hey scilax can you please tell me how to. Calibrate the battery.

Me too get a smaller backup when 3g is used for some 3 to 4 hours.

Please tell about that calibrating
[HTC Wildfire S] *se-nsei.:
Thing is, I charge my phone everyday. And I've been using CM7 or CM9, battery life never lasts more than a day. If it's only lasting 4-10 hours. Check your sync settings. Keep it only on 2G networks if using data. Get a battery saving application, in my opinion, it sounds like your using a lot of mobile data/wifi.

What build was on it prior to updating? Getting my prime this week =]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
It came pre-installed with ICS and .15 build.

Do you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones? Stream a movie with Diceplayer .mkv and sync headphones with your bluetooth. See if audio is in sync on the .mkv movies thru the bluetooth headphones. Mine is working fine for the C2 prime i have. But, some say that even with the new CX models they are still having the Bluetooth fallout issue.

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
Not sure I do, I rarely ever use bluetooth earphone.

I will see if I can test it and come back with the results.

After 1 month exactly of asus having my rma, they finally shipped me a new one last night. It too shows the c3 serial, so I'm prayin!!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] chivas228:
Any updates?

About to send mine in for the green screen camera issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
Absolutely no camera issues so far.

Can anyone help out?

How is the color temperature of your screen? I got a C2 from BestBuy and a C3 from Amazon.com. The C2 is slightly blueish and the C3 is yellowish. I pre-ordered another from Amazon hoping to get another C3 with a better screen, but was curious how your C3's screen is.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
Color is fine, I've never given it any thought, I only know that sometimes the screen is bright sometimes after watching a movie, but I noticed that if I go back to player used and turn the brightness down the 'colors' are more vivid and not overly bright.

Could be a SW problem, I know that my last 2 units had this issue.

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
my C20 often does this. also experiencing increasing light bleed on the center left side of the screen.

Sent from my TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
How heavy is the lightbleed?

You have a right to return if you have it in general, but if its alot and bright then you can surely get a new one.

I'm sure the C4 will be interesting, I might change because I still have lightbleeding even though everything is fine, you have to get the most of your money and this machine is not ridiculously cheap.

Maybe those C4's will be better or maybe even C5 by now.

Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beekay201:
well , it's not heavy yet, but it wasn't there in the beggining i guess. i only notice it when using black background or app with dark coloured theme, which is to say i prefer dark desktops/homescreens/apps. it's becoming more and more noticeable. i have no complains on mine, other that wifi could be just a bit better and this light bleed. my fear is that it will only get worse, like i've seen people describe around here.

i would like to get a newer model, sure, i'll just explain the situation to the store where i bought it. got it the 23rd march. maybe RMA works, who knows, might get lucky.

Sent from my TF201
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Johnny0906:
I think there are C4's out now so when you talk to your shop of purchase, TELL them that you would like a C4, I am on my 3rd Prime and main reason I returned the previous 2 was because of whitee spots,dead pixels and heavy lightbleeding.

Hey Guys,

I updated to 4.0.4 last night by clearing the data for Google Services Framework and rebooted. Update went smooth. Noticed this morning that when I go to the Play Store website, it does not show the Galaxy Nexus under My Devices. Same thing for Google Dashboard. I am on AT&T in the US. Anyone else have this issue? Able to resolve it?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meeporox:
Perhaps someone on custom 4.0.4 rom or updated via normal method I.e. Google push update can check if their devices are missing as well ?

If so it would most likely be an issue with 4.0.4 or Google play store
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I fastboot flashed 4.0.4 update to my phone and it shows up in the Play Store. Just installed an app from the web page no problem.

Has to be something with the way you "forced" the update, OP. Try clearing your Play Store cache/data and rebooting, and logging in/out on the browser.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aptmx:
I tried this. Same thing. Galaxy Nexus does not show up in Play Store on the Web. I am able to download apps fine on the device itself. Any other ideas? Anybody else's not showing up in the Play Store?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
This might be a dumb question but are you able to get into the playstore via your nexus? If you can perhaps you should try to download something from your phone and that might activate the play store to accepting your phone there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Same for me, not showing up via the website but am able to download apps with no issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
So I got my phone showing up in the Play store by signing in the store again. However, the store force closes every time I try to download an app from the web-ui. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Downloading from the web seems to be working as normal for me. There was an error (927) bit disappeared after 20 sec.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmmts:
Yeah, the problem resolved itself on my phone too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Whyt_e:
i just cleared the play data sorted it instantly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Maliacrete:
it seems the problem is not the 4.0.4 update but clearing the Google Services Framework data. I still cannot see the phone on play store but as suggested above I will wait for another 30 min or so to see if it comes up.

PS: still on 4.0.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nismo34:
This worked for fixing something missing in my device Play Store App, on my Razr M - it has yet to restore my device via the web browser.

Have tried everything else except Factory Reset (trying to avoid this).

Update: A day later my device is back via the web ~ though I suspect it's related to me removing a Secondary Google Account last night.

Was just going to post this. Have been messing around with the trail version and it seems like a very good app. All keyboard shortcuts seems to work, and works with .docx and .xlsx.

Anyone know for excel if there is a way to drag the cells you want for a function? Like type in "=sum( " then be able to drag the cells you want?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] rynowhi:
Since you guys have been using this, can it autosave? After losing countless documents at this point, I cannot use my TP until there is a program that can.

Next, if I press enter on the keyboard in excel, will it actually enter the data in the cell like on a desktop, or will it return a line inside the cell like Polaris?

Lastly, how does the folder structure work and is it easy to organize files how I want them?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cmat1120:
The autosave function is there, but a little different than others. It doesn't actually save it automatically, but if the app crashes or your phone dies etc. it keeps "recovery data". Then when you open that file the next time it will say something like: "there is recovery data for this document, would you like to recover it?"

as for the excel thing I don't use excel so can't tell you about that.

And the folder structure is great in my opinion. I have a folder called "documents" that is assigned to a tab in office suite called My documents. In that folder I have folders for my subjects in school(I'm a student) which keeps it nicely organized and I'm no more than 2 taps from any of my documents.

This is probably the best all around office program out there, but I would recommend having a few others for a few other things. Only things I don't like is that there is no export to pdf( I use Smart Office for that) and this is a really individual thing but I wish that ctrl "+/-" did sub/super script instead of zoming in/out which is easily done with two fingers anyways. Also tables don't really work...(I use polaris office to add those)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] grassey:
Enter in excel will enter data to that cell and bring you to the cell below it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jkvato:
If you have the keyboard dock, you can always do a quick CTRL-S regularly to save your document. There is also a convenient Save button on the screen that you can tap regularly as well. This may not be as good as autosave, but at least they make it easy to save your documents.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fasthair:

Dang I wish I would have seen this sooner. The price is back up to 14.95. You snooze you loose I guess :(

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hbk19:
I love the latest update for the word processor. Page View always set QuickOffice Pro HD apart from the rest for me. It was definitely a steal at $3. The advantage this has is the formatting tools always being present on the page. Makes everything so much easier.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
Newegg just dropped the price of the GSM Samsung Galaxy Nexus (i9250) to $449.99. However, when you combine it with a Simple Mobile sim card ($2.99), you get the combo discount and it drops the price to only $439.48. MOD EDIT: referral links.

Having said that, if you want peace of mind and want to be able to return the phone if need be without extra costs, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus from Amazon, even if it costs a few more bucks, may still be preferable.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Wow, thanks for posting this. I'm looking to get an unlocked Nexus.

Curious, what's all these "versions" of the Nexus with these Japanese names? Like people will say "I have a GN yakuju" or something...
[Member-Found Deals] Dark lord me:
Those symbolise the various builds of nexii, everything except Yakju gets updates from samsung and have some minor changes
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
I see. How is one supposed to know which phone is which? Does it say on the box?

There are reviewers saying the one from Newegg is a Yakju build. :(

Also, that a few of them have arrived already opened and seemingly used (no introductory sign-in screen).

Makes me a little wary...
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
You are welcome. You want yakyu as it is the build that gets the updates first and directly from Google. If your device didn't come with yakyu, you can use the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from this site to put yakyu on it quite easily. Having said that, the average person will not notice the difference between yakyu and other builds.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
How can you tell? Will it say on the box? Or do you have to boot up the phone first?

EDIT: So yakjuxw build is bad?
[Member-Found Deals] jonnyg1097:
Wow these are quite the deals, sites are releasing. They really must want to get rid of the phone.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
You can install an app that will tell you the build info. It will not say it on the box and if you ask the seller, they will likely not know or provide incorrect info.

People on XDA prefer yakyu. Everyone else doesn't care and yakyuxw is not per se bad. Having said that, people on XDA also don't care what it comes with as they can just install yakyu using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
onthecouchagain, check this out: [HOW-TO] Change to 4.0.4 yakju from yakjuxw (or ANY other version)

PS: It's actually yakju and not yakyu.
[Member-Found Deals] Yellow C6:
So GNex is now cheaper than SII? Wow.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
S2 at Amazon costs $436.18. Not sure why anyone would pick S2 over GNex though.

Its yakju, buddy
[Member-Found Deals] DontJoinTheDarkSide:
The Nexus sold by newegg has been reported to be sold by a third party seller installing their own software including business cards. You can read the reviews and see for yourself.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Yeah, I'm avoiding. Icemonkey.com is selling it for $10 dollars more: http://www.icemonkey.com/unlocked-samsung-i9250-galaxy-nexus-16gb-black

They have a 30 day return policy, so I feel somewhat safer with them.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
Corrected that for you.

DailySteals has inexistent customer service, so good luck with returning something to their sister company.

XDAs can flash the stock ROM in 5 minutes.
[Member-Found Deals] spencer88:
Corrected that for you.

:p
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
So where can we safely buy a GN?! :(
[Member-Found Deals] spencer88:
I'd say the most reputable phone stores are negri and expansys. Amazon and newegg are good as well, but those are the top 2 as far as phones go.
[Member-Found Deals] catpunt:
I got mine from handcent and it got to me in 2 days from the uk with free shipping
[Member-Found Deals] Jjday7:
How does the manufacturers warranty from Samsung come into play with these phones being brought from on-line retailers? Is it an American warranty or does it have to be shipped overseas for unforeseen problems?

Ebay still has their daily deal available for 479.00.
[Member-Found Deals] pewpewbangbang:
Pretty sure you have to ship overseas......negri and expansys help with that, while the other don't and some don't even have warranty actually.

I know Amazon states they don't for most unlocked phones
[Member-Found Deals] Fountainhead931:
I got mine at Wilsons in HK. Paid 4898 HKD.

Was standing there when the sales guy broke the seal on the box and I totally inspected it before purchase. Was an awesome experience getting it first hand instead of "pawed on and handled" by resellers.

If I have warranty issues I ship it back to my friend in HK and he takes it to Samsung warranty (we went by there just for kicks while in HK), or back to Wilsons in Mongkok.

i love it and totally am satisfied with it, much more than the Note I was considering getting. Everyone wants to know what kind of phone it is.

In all my running about my home town (orlando fl) I haven't seen anyone with either Verizon or intl version.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Are the ones from Expansys yakju builds? Just curious.
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
Some are yakju and some aren't. This shouldn't go into the consideration where to buy from. Using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash the stock ROM onto the phone will be a useful learning experience. .
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
No, it's a referral link.
[Member-Found Deals] spencer88:
I take it you earn money from people using those links to buy stuff. Is that correct?
[Member-Found Deals] InternationalNexusFan:
No, it's in the name of a charity I volunteer for.

For California residents, newegg collects sales tax (around $30).

I also noticed Amazon started collecting sales tax for California (I am not sure if it's for all resellers at Amazon).

By the way, I got my White GNex from DailySteals. It took exactly 2 weeks, but it came sealed. It looked like it was from Poland. While Customer Service may be lacking, I am happy that I got a perfectly good Gnex for a good price.
[Member-Found Deals] svtfmook:
there is no warranty.

i ordered the newegg, not really caring about business cards in the box and i will flash the normal factory rom if the rom on my device has been tampered. but i'm pretty sure they don't actually add software, but rather change the language.

i'll see tomorrow.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Please let us know how it comes. Sealed or not, language introduction screen or not, etc. Thank you!
[Member-Found Deals] zephiK:
It doesn't matter...... if no language introduction screen is present. Then just wipe the phone.

You're making a big deal out of nothing. If you want the phone, just get it. Newegg is a reputable seller and will not sell products that are open boxed and label them as new.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Check the reviews. A number of them have said the boxes came unsealed.
[Member-Found Deals] pewpewbangbang:
Yea, I don't think Newegg is selling the Galaxy Nexus

It's coming thru a 3rd party reseller I read somewhere
[Member-Found Deals] zephiK:
Unsealed? .. most Galaxy Nexuses purchased (Newegg as well as other sellers) there is no way of finding out if they are unsealed or sealed because there isn't a seal on them anyway.

This was most likely because they are imported from another country. For example, if your Galaxy Nexus came from UK then there would be a different power adapter. The company selling it might of opened it and taken out the UK power adapter and replaced it with a power adapter meant to be used in the U.S.

The phone itself should have that plastic over the phone screen.

It should be sold by Newegg and maintained by BrainstormCo if you have any problems.

For example, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=09N-000C-00219

In stock.Sold by QUANTUM WIRELESS ...... if its not sold by Newegg then it should say so.
[Member-Found Deals] cbutt:
I got mine from dailysteals. It was a sealed box with polish writing. Inside the shipping box was the sealed galaxy nexus box & an adapter. I uploaded pictures in the original thread. I could put them in here as well if anyone needs.
[Member-Found Deals] zephiK:
It really depends. It's not always to going to be sealed. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the phone was used. I believe there was a post in the past about Galaxy Nexuses not having a seal on them but many of the people didn't have any problems with the phone and it was unused.

The one I received from Negri way back came sealed. It was a yakjuxw version with the power adapter that looked like a small little square box. I prefer my old charger since the USB cable was longer. But my friend of mines who got it from Expansys had to use a UK -> US power adapter.
[Member-Found Deals] onthecouchagain:
Thanks Zephik for the info. It's certainly more reassuring. Will be pulling the trigger.

EDIT: When you say wipe, you mean factory reset, yes?
[Member-Found Deals] cbutt:
Yea I was moreso referring to whoever said that there's no way of knowing whether it is sealed or unsealed because , well, there is lol

I got a white nexus with yakju from daily steals last month.
[Member-Found Deals] Jjday7:
NO WARRANTY!! Why is that? This is the only thing that makes me concerned. I don't want to sign a contract with Verizon to get the phone but it seems all the phones being shipped in can come with problems down the road when it comes to warranty. I am aware this is for the GSM only but I am going back and forth on which version to get. I am probably being over cautious but things happen. Sometimes to new phones also.
[Member-Found Deals] svtfmook:
yes, they are coming unsealed and the welcome screen is bypassed. i believe this is because these are imports and rather than making the customer figure how to change the language while it's a foreign language, they change it either pre or post export, and then toss in a business card to advertise their crappy 3rd world company.

like i said, mine is due to deliver tomorrow. i'm really not concerned since i already knew going into it i was going to flash it the minute i powered it on anyhow. but i will get the build, model, etc before reflashing it.
