[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I would hazard a guess that having 4G on all the time is one of the main culprits. I leave 4G off unless I am browsing the web, forums, or something else where the extra speed is nice. I use the 4G Toggle widget from the market to turn 4G on and off. I always turn it off before hitting the power button to turn off the screen. No need for it to be sucking juice when I'm not actively using my phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] F3M4:
I just installed the toggle switch, I'm gonna give it a go.

To turn off the gmail sync go to accounts click on you tap the account. Then uncheck the sync box.

When you want to check your email go to the gmail app hit the menu and sync. Takes about 30 seconds extra but saves some battery.
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
I'm always skeptical when people blame gmail sync or 4G on battery issues. When the phone was new on stock, and on ICS now, I have three gmail accounts, a yahoo account, and one Exchange account all syncing in the background + 4G on 24/7 and getting around 16hrs of battery life. This was the case for weeks. Then I started having trouble with Verizon's Backup Manager, did a factory reset, and now stock battery life is ~ 8hrs, with 4G OFF :eek:

I'm thinking at the very least, there is an issue with the stock battery information panel. My feeling is it hides battery use by the stock bloatware...
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
I agree that there is probably more to it than just 4G or syncing. Especially where people are getting only 8 hours or so battery life. I personally have noticed definite battery savings with 4G toggled off when not in use though. I can usually still go most of the day even with it toggled on all day but with 4G off, except when I actually need it, I usually get to bed with 30% - 40% battery left as opposed to 10% - 20% left with 4G on all day.
[Motorola Droid 4] azrael293:
I would also turn all 3 locations off. No need to run the gps when not using navigation. I keep my 4G on as I use it frequently but I am going to try the toggle as well for the extra savings on battery when not netflixing/browsing.
[Motorola Droid 4] vmu:
Yep. I'm also having big issues with my Droid 4 battery. First I thought it was the firewall. But even after uninstalling the app, the drainage is absurd. The battery drains so fast, the phone gets warm.

I don't know where to look. I read something about logcat in another thread but could't find it anymore.

My Droid 4 can work about 5 hours on one battery charge. No gps, no 4g and no wifi. If I turn on wifi, it lasts about 8 hours, so I'm suspecting that some process loops when in non WIFI mode.
[Motorola Droid 4] Grizzy3:
If you're out of options try using an app called watchdog. It let's you see if there is an app that's draining your battery unusually fast.
[Motorola Droid 4] vmu:
Thanks for the tip. But what whatchdog should I use? There are many apps called watchdog :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Grizzy3:
Watchdog task manager lite (free version).
[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
I tried that this morning. Still poor battery life on stock, but watchdog doesn't flag anything. Very weird :confused:

Oh well, I would definitely recommend AOKP for anybody having battery problems.

For me today: 4 hours 55 minutes since unplug, 80% left.

Screen time on: 50 minutes (!)

That being said, I do keep my screen on pretty low. Still, you can tell I've been using it...
[Motorola Droid 4] vmu:
Watchdog couldn't help me but. My data monitor showed that motorola.services was generating a lot of data the past few days (800+ MB :O ) and responsible for the battery drainage. I blocked it with droidwall. It's better now, but sometimes it still pops up and generates data despite the fact it's blocked.

So glad that I have an unlimited internet plan or else I was really screwed :P

It will not be as big as the OG 4G. As stated above, it's not a game changer, and the same (very similar) device is available on most other carriers. Not to mention the fact that there is NO lte right now, and sprint's 3g is slower than AOL dial-up.

[HTC EVO 3D] i-l-l:
I doubt it will be as big as the OG Evo. We're in a different time than we were 2 years ago. Sprint was the first carrier with 4G running on an Android OS. 3G was a lot faster then. Now you have the selling point of LTE..well LTE isn't even on in the test markets while other carriers are already up and running on LTE or something similar they call 4G while Sprint's 3G is sloooooooooow. I'm usually day 1 with flagship phones but not this time. I'll get one or the newest hotness once the LTE roadmap has my city on it.

[HTC EVO 3D] Rippley05:
I don't think it will be as big. People were hyped about the EVO 4G, and now here a LOT of us sit, with our 2nd WiMAX capable phone..without ever being able to use WiMAX. There is no way people are gonna trust Sprint to deliver them LTE in their area during the time that they keep the phone...especially when other carriers are now offering much better 4G. Competition kills it..the EVO 4G had no competition.

I would be extremely grateful if someone were able to upload some pictures/screenshots of how to install a zip file from the micro SD using rogue XM Recovery, including the confirmation process of yes/no. This may seem like a strange request, but it is because the screen on my transformer has died but is still able to output through HDMI and i need to restore it to factory settings to RMA it. However, HDMI output is not supported with CWM and so i am not able to see what i am doing but with screenshots/pictures of the process, i would be able to perform the restore.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matius44:
No need to do anything from CWM recovery, flashing with PC Odin will reset your system.. Just make sure it is a complete ROM and flash it using the steps described in the 2nd post of this thread :)

Thank u matius.It worked.Need to know something now.I'm still waiting for ICS.But i don't want to wait anymore. :( I see there is a new rom added to dr.ketan's post for Galaxy Note.ICS ROms-N7000XXLPY-4.0.3-2012 May-N7000OXALPY-Open Germany.My question is - is it the full complete stock rom of ICS for Galaxy note?I'll be able to upgrade to ICS with pc odin,the same way i downgraded to KL3 firmware.N it will not harm my warranty? In there dr.ketan added the upgrade guide too.Here is the installation method by dr.ketan ---->

Install using Mobile Odin safely

- Download N extract ROM

- Copy Extracted file to a folder e.g ICS ROM On Ext/Int SD card

- Download CF Root for LPY

- Extract CF root till get zImage file

- Copy zImage file to same above said folder in SD car

- Open Mobile Odin

- Select 'Open file' N point to ROM file

- select Kernel tab N point to zImage file

- select Ever Root option

- Flash

- You will get ICS ROM + Root + CWM

But my question is now why i need CF root?Is it necessary for this rom?I just want to stay with a official stock rom of ICS without any root at this moment.So can i just download the rom n install it with pc odin?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbir2012:
O n as this N7000XXLPY-4.0.3 Rom is official then i think I'll be able to upgrade all the official upgrade in future through WiFi?Cause i heard when we use custom roms it's not possible to get the official upgrade through WiFi.That time all we need to download the upgrade file n flash it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
You don't need it. CF-root is only for those who want a rooted system with CWM. You can simply flash the rom using pc odin.

---------- Post added at 04:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

It's the official ICS rom for Germany. This means in theory it should be possible to download OTA updates. But I can't guarantee it since the rom is for Germany and it is possible that Samsung checks what rom for which geographical market is installed prior to providing the update for download. Maybe they refuse to update your system if the installed rom is from another country.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbir2012:
Thank u for ur reply.But i think when Samsung will release the Rom for my region i'll be able to flash it again?N should i use the same settings in odin? I mean only check the Auto Reboot n Reset time when i flash the official ICS Rom ?

About flashing via odin

Well I am having the same question.. Before rooting I made a backup using cwm, then my friend flashed ics stunner 5.0. I don't know how but it crashed and I restore my phone using cwm backup. Now it is the stock ics but the kernel is different.. It says abyss kernel.. My question now is that if I flash the rom using the above mentioned method will I get the stock rom+ stock kernel and second question, and what about the binary counter will it increase again.???

I installed cyanogenmod 7 about two days after I got the phone and the browser and all apps that required a 3g connection worked fine. But for some reason, the browser does not load pages anymore. Strangely, the play store still works and will download apps fine.

I've tried fiddling with APN settings but to no avail.

I'm open to any suggestions, it's driving my crazy and I'm spending the weekend away from home so need to get this fixed asap!

Go to the APN settings and remove the proxy address. this fixed it for me :)

Thanks for your reply, just tried this and it hasn't worked, any chance you could copy your APN settings out for me?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] :
did you remove the proxy and port of the APN your using.

the APN's are specific to networks , so mine wont work on yours.

What network are you on??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iAmiAdam:
Ah of course, I assume everyone's on the same network. I'm on o2.

Removed the proxy and port and still nothing. Apps and the play store work though which is the strange thing.

Im not sure then, i had the same problem with only browser not loading and that fixed it for me,

sorry :)

Thanks for your help anyway, I might end up flashing and installing cyanogen again because it worked for a couple of weeks after I'd installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Just saw this in the Engaget review;

While the One X and S offer options to use USB mass storage or MTP to transfer files, your choices are cut in half with Sprint's version -- MTP is all you have.

Who's got the skinny on this? I'm not familiar to how MTP works.

I actually prefer MTP. Here's more:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Mathman85:
As it says, you can still to mass storage with the MicroSD.

It is pretty simple, though... I think I used it for my old Sansa e250 mp3 player (it gave you the option between the two systems).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AssassinsLament:
The way I read engadget's words was like this:

The internal memory, can only be accessed through MTP.

The SDCARD on the other hand, can be accessed as a mass storage device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fachadick:
Thanks for the link, it was helpful, and I can understand why they would want to go that route, but what I got from that link is that there's no difference, in practice for the end user, between the two. Meaning even with MTP, you plug it into your computer, and you can still access and move files around. Did I get that right? Does it open as another drive on the computer like USB mass storage does? In fact, would it open as two drives - one for the internal memory, and another for the sdcard?

I read it the same way, I was just hoping that I wouldn't be locked out of the internal memory, unless I used the phone itself (if that makes sense).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
If the internal memory is going to be laid out in a similar way to my transformer, then one option is to use samba filesharing and set up the internal storage partition as a share. This is of course going to require root but as i understand it the issue with the one x (and maybe this one) is the bootloader unlock and not simple superuser permissions. I have my transformer set up where when its connected to my home wifi network both the internal storage and the microsd card is shared as samba shares and i just transfer files in to internal storage using that.

Dropbox comes pre-loaded on the phone. You can also sync with Google Drive or a similar service.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rudeless:
pirlzre steadfast

I'm not sure which ROM you are using (probably stock), but with my Venom Viper4G 3.14 ROM, I have USB mass storage for the following:

system: NO

sdcard: NO

sdcard2 (ext_sd): YES

However, I have to do 2 things:

1. Disable USB debugging

2. toggle USB File Sharing to Disk Drive (NOT HTC Sync Master)

It's my understanding that Jewel (the HTC Evo 4G LTE) does not allow for mounting system and sdcard(1). In contrast, my HTC One X allows for mounting both system and sdcard, and it does so with USB Debugging enabled. The One X also has a Charge Only mode, but Jewel cannot.

So I left my NC wall charger and cable in my hotel room in South Korea last weekend, and of course I am back home in TX with no way to charge besides normal microUSB, which takes forever.

Is there any source other than B&N for a high-speed (high current) charger and cable? The B&N one is like $25, which is not too bad, but I still would rather find an alternative if possible.
[Nook Color Accessories] MISRy:
What you're looking for on the charger is something that's rated at 1.9A or better. Most made for the ipad are 2A. The only alternative I've made use of is a Belkin one they sell at Wallyworld for $20 bucks, (same type deal as you but I still had the cable and was still on the road). With the stock cable I get a full charge in about three hours and with a regular cable I get a full charge overnight. If I had to do it over I might have pushed my schedule a little harder and looked for a B&N so I would have ended up with a "spare" cable out of the deal. :rolleyes:
[Nook Color Accessories] bkdroid:
Bummer! I travel to S. Korea regularly in Jan/Feb and in early Aug. Team development programs with Samsung at their Cheonan S1 Training Center. Where do you travel to in S. Korea?
[Nook Color Accessories] PipeHitter:
Where as finding an adequate charger seems easy enough, its the cable that's the problem. Has to be an official B&N cable for fast charging. A standard microUSB will charge very slowly. I've yet to find an aftermarket equivalent.
[Nook Color Accessories] bitnerd:
Has anyone checked out a touchpad charger? It looks like it's just a standard micro usb charge that puts out 2A. It seemed to charge my nook reasonably fast but I didn't let it get above 95% since I wasn't sure if it would hurt the battery. I'll have to do a better test to see how long it takes to charge
[Nook Color Accessories] joelgrice:
Here are the results of a very quick test that I just performed:

Nook Color running Mirage CM7 latest version (5/18)

Overclocked to 1100Mhz and interactiveX governer

Screen at 100% brightness

Battery Monitor Widget main graph screen displayed entire time

Logging set for every 60 seconds

Test lasted about 5min for each combination

Battery at about 70%

Nook charger & cable

- average reading of +892mA

- mV increased 3844mV to 4053mV

Touchpad cable & charger

- average reading of -335mA

- mV increased 3847mV to 3901mV

Touchpad cable & Nook charger

- average reading of -407mA

- mV increased 3847mV to 3888mV

Nook cable & Touchpad charger

- average reading of +1211mA

- mV increased 3826mV to 4081mV

So it looks like the Nook cable is the key. As long as you have a charger that puts out around 2 amps or so and the Nook cable, the Nook will fast charge. It actually charged faster on the HP charger (2.0A output vs 1.9A for the Nook charger).

I also tried a cheap data cable I had and it stated "USB charging" and the results were similar to using the HP cable but a bit lower on the mA readings.

I plan to run the test again using a high Amp car charger but I think the results will be pretty much the same.

The best combination for a super fast charge is the HP Touchpad wall charger and the Nook cable

[Nook Color Accessories] calixt0:
I don't know about the fast charger, but the charger for a samsung cell phone (not a smart phone just a normal phone) phone will charge the nook. I've accidentally plugged it in and it worked. I've not used it for extended periods so can't speak to its long term ability to work.
[Nook Color Accessories] bobstro:
I've noticed that my NT on B&N firmware 1.4 will charge on a non-B&N charger, but that the charging status shown in settings always says "not charging". My NC on CM7.2 simply indicates it's charging. I don't know if the B&N status really matters or not, but it is finicky about the wall adapter. If/when you re-test, could you please note the battery status?

Meanwhile, I did some testing with a PowerGen 12v adapter. I was able to get the NT showing "charging (AC)" while using the 1A plug on the adapter with the B&N cable. Reading the little booklet that comes with it indicates that "some devices" can pull more than 1A off this plug, including the "HP touchpad, Kindle Fire". While charging, I did get the erratic screen issue while plugged in. With the B&N charger, the same cable didn't cause this behavior on the NT. Not sure what that means, but you basically can't use it while it charges with the adapter. The 2A plug, described as "for the iPad" shows "not charging" (but not discharging). Using a generic microUSB cable also yields "not charging".

I also tested a EZOPower 7800 mAh supplemental battery. I was able to get a NT showing "charging (AC)" while using the "S" plug, described as compatible with the Samsung P1000 (Galaxy Tab) with the B&N cable. The "I" (iPad) plug did not work. The battery itself does charge off any 1A USB source, and will charge external devices at full 2.1A power as it charges. This means you should be able to let this battery power your NC, while the EZOPower battery charges more slowly from a normal 1A USB 12 VDC or AC adapter. Once the NT is fully charged at full rate, the EZOPower battery will itself charge. There were no screen issues with this combination, and I could use the device as it charged (with the usual cautions about the fragile B&N cable, of course.)

I don't know if the distinction between "not charging" and "charging (AC)" actually means anything, but the B&N firmware seems to care, while CM doesn't.
