Amoled

Her Android OS is normal...I really don't understand why it's that bad. I'll try doing a full battery cycle.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadrunner1:
Updated form 2.3.6 stock to 4.0.4

OTA and battery usage is still OK. Lasts about 1-1.5 days. Permanent Wifi or 3g, internetusage and some gaming-No probs!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cøm3tx:
A full battery cycle could do the trick. Don't let it die, anyway, because it can cause battery wear... Just take it to 10% and recharge it nighttime... You may also wipe battery data before, if you wish...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Check apps like news and weather too. My news and weather app really acted up after my ics update and wouldn't stop pulling data. I had to shut off any automatic updating with that app and it fixed my issue. It might have been temporary but just check your apps.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WarpedMonkeys:
Alright thank you I'll check those out.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockdudecam2:
Try Badass Battery monitor . it will give you some good info on whats using your battery. Gives you a % of app usage

Look in play store
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cøm3tx:
OMG thank you, I didn't notice that. Maybe I can get even better battery performance now :) it was set to update every 1 hour, so it may be not much, but even 1% is good for me!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
Heavy battery drain ??? i don't have any issues with it, infact i have not touched my phone for 1 day 6 hours and 25 minutes and my battery dropped from 95% to 82%. My phone was fully charged (didn't go higher then 95%). I am very impressed by the results. :cool:

I changed 2 settings:

1. Automatic screen brightness.

2. Turn screen off after 30 seconds.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cøm3tx:
Wait a sec... that's not normal for me :confused:

Do you use 3G to connect to the internet? Never got more than 20 hours on 3G/HSDPA... without even using the phone! :eek:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaclavpe:
Hello,

my Nexus S was updated automatically to version 4.0.4. I will tell you. My problem is with data. Now I can not open any WWW page in default viewer,Opera sometimes opens some pages but quite rare. I can not get any email in K9 Mail. Update of Google maps took several hours, unfinished, eaten all my battery! Sometimes I am without signal or with bad signal.

It is for sure problem with 4.0.4 because I have unlimited data. So, no FUP in this case.

I was satisfied with 2.3.6. How can I do downgrade without rooting etc. my phone ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockdudecam2:
Check your APNs. But they should have come off the simcard when you updated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaclavpe:
This is correct, in my case...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockdudecam2:
Try find out what is hogging your battery/cpu. Download os monitor.

Or just flash a new rom to see if that helps. make a backup first
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaclavpe:
Currently I have 76% after 14hours and 40 minutes. This is ok as I phoned this morning several minutes.

But when some update starts (for example above mentioned Google Maps), battery goes low during several hours and in the "usage list" the MEDIA item is first with 40-50% usage.

Which exact application do you mean by "os monitor" ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
I turned wifi off and 3G too, will test it with 3G on in the weekend but i doubt it would drain that much.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockdudecam2:
When doing the update of Google maps, does it actually install?

If you install os monitor ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eolwral.osmonitor&hl=en ) when you do another update or when ever you having this problem check what process is using the most cpu usage. ( probably "Media" or somthing like that) Click on that process and a menu should come up select "Watch Log' this will give you a log of the process, could help you diagnose the problem . :)

MicheIN - what are you running on your phone (ROM, kernel, etc)?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjuderas:
If I leave wifi or 3g on, on my cell, it eats my battery alive! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grubscrew:
Accuweather

Do perhaps have accuweather running? Reduce the updates\notifications to once an hour.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjuderas:
Yes, but it's already set to once an hour! Oh, yes, and every time it wakes! :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Bear:
Slcd here. As for Android OS, I honestly do not think 20% is standard if you're using it normally. Mine's around 3-6% after a few hours use.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lazer Bear:
Delete all widgets from all launchers, fully charge your phone and use normally. If it solves the issue, it's one of your widgets, in my case it was Simple Calendar.

I was happy with the battery on 4.0.4 until today. Facebook with notifications off has drain 44% in a few hours.

Any one more notice a problem with last update of facebook on stock 4.0.4??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITenson:
The facebook apps has always been a big battery user, especially since the new menu on top left version came out...

Personally, I just use the touch.facebook.com version of the site on my browser... Besides notification, I don't think you'll be missing too many options.

ICS has wildly improved my battery life over Gingerbread. Even with it overclocked to 1460 MHz still getting 8 hours of HEAVY use...ie..continuous Netflix 3 movies in a row!.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ealireza:
i had this problem ,

but now , it's okey after 1 week

now after 3 day my battery level above of 70% !!! :o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingcharlie:
What are you running on your phone?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Filipe Galego:
3 days??

When I get 12h I'm very happy. And I don't use the phone so much.

2 or 3 SMS, 1 or 2 short calls, data off most of the day, Wifi on must of the day. 2 email account +2 social apps on push... I do a little surf on the internet, read the mail (20 or 30 every day) and check social apps (1 or 2 hours day max)...

Is this so much?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcinci:
I got the update on 10th of april using the framework method.

I notice that the battery consumption is between 9-15% more...

I think I´m a regular user,12-15 hours of battery its not good :(

From the battery log, there are 2 android services competing with the screen!

The Android services are Androids Operational system and Android system (actually I don´t know the right name of the service since my phone is in portuguese, but isn´t it odd?) They are takin 9% of total battery EACH!

I read somenone saying to wipe the battery, how can I do this? My phone is full stock, non rooted...

Another thing: I recharged yesterday night and was showing 98%. I turned off wifi, data and sync and it ates 11% of baterry on idle, from 1:00 to 8:00 in the morning. Most of consumption was the android system (both services) and facebook...

:(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITenson:
I find that ICS takes about a day to stabilize when you first flash it. My first charge after flashing ICS lasted only about a day. The battery tend to stabilized itself after the first charge.

Right now I have 77% battery left after 14 hours of light-moderate usage. I would suggest running the battery down to around 10% and fully charge it to get a real sense of battery life.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichelN:
I use stock rom, but i noticed when i turn 3G on all day my battery drains alot.

19 hours, 41 minutes and 50 sec off from the charger and my battery is @ 16%. If i turn 3G off i can do 3 days with it. :(

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Yeah. 3G will destroy the battery. I just leave my phone on Edge all the time because I don't need the high speeds(wifi at school and home). Only time I really ever use it is when I'm streaming music, but my phone is usually hooked up to the charger then. I'm pretty sure I've got a dud battery because when my phone idles, the drain isn't a flat line. It isn't a steep drop, but I'd like to think it shouldn't be draining as much as it should be. Oh well. 17 hours between charges isn't too much to complain about. Could be better. Maybe I'll get another battery. The one I got from eBay was probably sitting on a shelf for who knows how long :rolleyes:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kandroid:
Had a similar issue right after I updated to Stock ICS 4.0.4 on my i9020a on AT&T. It was draining close to 6-7% every hour at work, where the 3G is pretty weak.

I switched to Bugless Beast last week, and the battery has never been better.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al_madd:
Yup...poor signal have been a culprit for nexus s user..

even turninf off mobile internet...randomly switching between EDGE and UMTS will make phone awake thus draining battery..

Android OS is at 80% all the day. and my phone dies in 8 Hours. I had Removed All Widgets, I,m using 4.0.4 Slim ICS rom. with siyah Kernal. every One there praises about the Battery Timing. But what is wrong with my phone ;(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronophase1:
Holy crap. Did this problem just crop up with the new ROM/Kernel flash? I would go to those specific threads and see if anyone there has had similar issues. I've used SlimICS and never had that massive amount of awake time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sejmir:
Wiping batery data has nothing to do with prolonging life...unless u have probz with battery readings in settings its useless to wipe it

This problem u have can be anything... from phone errors, rom kern, reading error... just flash smthing new...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enricobattocchi:
I'd try to install an app like Quick System Info and check if some process is rugnning high on CPU usage. There you can read the log about that process and figure out if something's happening... (I had the com.android.phone process draining the battery, checking its log I saw that there was a problem with "3g preferred" setting)
[HTC One X] davealison:
Hi all, had my one x now for about a week, coming from the iphone 4...

the problem i have is that when im recording video in either 720p or 1080p it is sharp for a couple of seconds then the autofocus keeps cutting in and it goes blurry for a second or 2 till it refocusess then it goes back to normal... really anoying, its killing my videos !!!

so does anyone else have this problem or is my phone knackered ?
[HTC One X] bmwandroid:
My does it only in 1080p so i stay in 720. Hope the update Will fix the problem.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Only if you have many things in the video that are at different focus lengths. If you're recording a face it should stay at the same focus length.
[HTC One X] Foggy79:
I have the same issue, realy annoying! Makes useless videos that way...
[HTC One X] jaspabt:
Mine is doing it on both 1080 and 720 resolutions. Initially i thought it was too much going on in a picture, however this doesnt seem to be the case. Focusing on an object a metre away is causing it issues. Camera focusing however is fine. Definitely a software bug. Lets hope 1.27 when it comes out is magical :D

Despite its "quirks" I bloody love this phone!:p
[HTC One X] davealison:
I think ive found a temp fix... well untill we get a software update that fixes it for good...

any way launch the camera app then go to settings and scroll down to video options and disable video stabilization... seems alot better for me after i did this !!!

hope this helps people...thanks:D

If anyone gets their hands on a Sprint GNex (SPH-L700) early, would anyone please be willing to provide me the following information about the stock pre-installed ROM:

1. Android version #

2. Android build #

3. Baseband versions as reported by system settings, not bootloader. It should report two basebands...one for CDMA and one for LTE.

4. Bootloader version #

5. The value of "ro.product.name" in /system/build.prop

I want to add a section for it to the Galaxy Nexus firmware pages at http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/galaxy-nexus, so I need that information to get started.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Just a friendly bump. Some sources are saying that Sprint is shipping pre-orders today. If someone gets their hands on one before Sunday, and could provide me with the information requested in the first post, I'd be eternally grateful. :)

How do I find the value of "ro.product.name" in /system/build.prop again? I have ES File Explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Just go itno ES File Explorer, navigate to the /system folder, find build.prop and open it as text.

To reboot into the bootloader, turn the phone off, then hold down volume up, volume down, and power simultaneously.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
In addition, could someone go into stock recovery and verify that you have the option to manually flash a file from /cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yeahthatsme:
Bootloader PRIMELC02

That is Zero 2

Product name Tuna, thought it was either Toro or Maguro?

Oh do I need to be rooted to get to the /system folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
No, you don't need root to get to /system. You should be able to open ES File Explorer non-rooted and open /system/build.prop. Then just find the line that starts with ro.product.name= and just tell me what that particular line says.

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestD0701:
Here's what I could get. Hope it helps. I'm familiarising myself with adb now...

I went into dl mode and there's a boot type. Idk if that boot loader # or not but its USB MMC1 Sorry I couldn't get all info yet...

Thanks for that. I have everything I need now, with the exception of the value of ro.product.name in build.prop. If anyone can get that for me, I'd appreciate it.

[HTC Desire S] suku_patel_22:
You are locked and have S-on.

You need to downgrade and use revolutionary to unlock the bootloader and S-off.

My signature has all the threads you need.

If you are not comfortable with downgrade, you could use HTC dev unlock, which can be found in the guides in general section

What brand is your phone?

Try to run the below command and paste it here

I had this exact problem last night the only way I solved it is to get the very latest RUU it starts with 2.10 maybe a member can point. U in the right place for the newest ruu. Run the ruu when in fastboot and ye phone will turn back on again then u have to either downgrade again or use htcdev.com to unlock boot loader

Ever want the Android Emulator to look like your phone. Well here you go. I got tired of looking at the stock emulator so I made this theme for it.

To Install:

Unzip and place the S2-Sprint folder inside your android-sdk\platforms\android-10\skins\ folder

the android-10 part is what ever version of emulator you are running so for an ICS emulator put it in android-sdk\platforms\android-15\skins

Then open the Android AVD Manager and make or edit an emulator. Select S2-Sprint from the built-in drop down. Start the emulator and enjoy.

All buttons work including power and volume.

SPH-D710 Emulator Skin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Why 10?

Isn't ICS API 15?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Looks to me like the emulator is currently emulating GB. :D

I think he is just giving an example, the API has nothing to do with the skin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
Yes just an example it will work on any version and yes ICS is 15 hence why I said

so for an ICS emulator put it in android-sdk\platforms\android-15\skins

in the first post
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Already did.

However I have problems with installing/testing ICS system apps.

I'm getting this error messages:

C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb install Contacts.apk

71 KB/s (2873272 bytes in 39.335s)

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Contacts.apk

Any input?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ioos:
Thanks for this. I don't know why the default settings are so awful.

Has anyone gotten the market working in the ICS emulator?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GrimeSyndicate:
I've put the folder "S2-Sprint" inside 3 different platforms' skins folders and nothing happens inside AVD afterward, even after refreshing. I'm assuming I should see "S2-Sprint" as an option in the "Device" dropdown? but I'm getting nothing new in there, just the handful of original emulations and generics, none of which have the E4GT's 4.52" 480X800 resolution. Any help would be wonderful, I'm absolutely a newb to any dev business, so I'm really coming at this fresh. Thanks in advance

I notice at the top of the AVD manager, it mentions "List of Existing Android Virtual Devices located at C:\Users\user\.android\avd" and then attempted to copy S2-Sprint there as well, but to no avail: same result
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GrimeSyndicate:
Got it sorted.... Follow the instructions in Post 1 up to step 6, replacing the file they're referring to with RuJelus's "S2-Sprint" (after unzipping of course) then proceed with post 2 and you should get straightened right out. Thanks ya'll!
