I just picked up one of these for her highness. Don't have it yet but my existing dual port charger work great with everything from my ipod to my phones. $6.50 and two "1A" USB ports.

Griffin Dual USB Car Charger PowerJolt for iPhone/iPod

I bought this one in august 2011 and have been using it since then with no issues whatsoever. I like it because the blue logo on the faceplate tells when it's plugged in. Early on it would slip out due to vibrations of the car and "turn off" but hasn't in the last six months since it's "rusted in". ;) Charges everything I've plugged into it and does both the ipod and the cell phone at the same time with no issues.

I've ordered some AmazonBasics stuff before, but with chargers you seem to get what you pay for. Both AB's I ordered were total crap. I'm using a iGo Green charger. Works great
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
I got pretty crap battery life yesterday (see attachments). I plugged in my phone in the afternoon so it was fully charged when I left work in the evening, and then I only used the phone a little bit before I went to bed.

From 6 pm to 11 pm (when I went to bed) it drained from 100% to about 55%. Didn't plug it in overnight. When I got up this morning, it was at 17%. Wifi was on, airplane mode was not on, but I didn't use the phone at all and it probably should have just gone to sleep, right?

Anyway, this was only my second day of using CM7 instead of CM9. I had been on CM9 for a week or so before I decided to go back to CM7 for the battery life. It's weird, I've searched for and read several of the battery life posts here in the Q&A section and everyone seems to recommend CM7 for battery life, but in my case it didn't work out so well. There must be something going on - how can I figure this out?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:
I'm getting great life from cm7! You may want to wipe all caches, and battery stats, and reflash the Rom on top. Then apply v6 supercharger, kak tweaks..

Further more download better battery stats, Google search it, and see what apps have high partial wake times
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
v6 supercharger, tweaks, etc... isnt required at all.

He needs to show us all his battery stats from Better Battery Stats, and his CPU freq Table from Voltage Control and the I/0 Scheduler and Cpu Governor and What kernel is he using
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
My kernel is listed as 2.6.35.7 which I believe is an AOSP kernel

I don't own Better Battery Stats

Just installed Voltage Control... Min 100 MHz, max 1000 MHz, I/O scheduler is sio, CPU governor is ondemand, and this is after running the V6 and KAK scripts. I'm going to see how my battery holds up today.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qizami:
Try with better battery stats app
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvtjoker42:
you can also use cpu spy to find out if your phone is actually going into deep sleep or if it's running @ something higher.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
BBS is free and is on XDA, Try conservative for your CPU governor that'll help and if you use CPU Spy as mention below me that'll show the amount of time each freq. is on
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
Ah, thanks for pointing that out!

I'm going to take some time to figure out how to interpret all this. CPU Spy seems pretty straightforward though. It is reporting that the CPU has gone into deep sleep most of the time it's been unplugged, so that can't be the problem. I did go into Voltage Control and change the CPU governor from ondemand to conservative; hopefully that helps.

For Better Battery Stats I'm going through the official thread and just trying to compare my results against what people are saying there. So far the biggest potential culprit is GTALK_ASYNC_CONN, which has the largest duration of partial wakelocks at 2m22s. Behind that is Wimax (obviously having that on is gonna drain my battery; I don't normally use it but today I have been) and then *network-location* with 1m14s. I'm not sure I really need to post a full dump although if anyone really wants to look it over I could.

Anyway thanks for all the help guys.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLostSoulxX:
In BBB look at since unplugged and kernel wakelocks do you have a "mmc_delayed_work" mine is high that affects battery life too
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
Slightly different situation now. A couple days ago I switched to an ICS rom, this time AOKP. Things seemed to be fine but this afternoon my battery absolutely tanked while I wasn't using the phone - the standard battery interface showed that the phone did not sleep during that time even though it was in my pocket, and Better Battery Stats showed a huge amount (over 3 hours) of kernel wakelocks from "sec_jack." Know what could be causing that?

EDIT: I should add, using the standard battery screen, it has simply lumped in whatever is now draining my battery into "Android System." It showed a keep-awake time of around 20 minutes when the total time unplugged was 25 minutes. I tweaked a few things, turned off AOKP's weather service and made sure Facebook wasn't pulling background data, and restarted my phone. I'll have to see how it goes.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
Solved! I turned off the weather service built into AOKP last night. This morning, the sec_jack wakelocks were gone and my battery had only gone down by a couple % overnight.

So, I update my phone (Xperia PLAY) from Android 2.3.4, 4.0.A.2.368 to Android 2.3.4, 4.0.2.A.0.42 on my phone, when there was notification for updates. It downloaded updates and turn the screen on with some kind of package. It loaded in little time. And when I tried turn on phone there is only vibration and green flash on power button. What can I do? Plz help me, I have lost the warrant and I dont know is there any guarantee for my phone!

P.S: I've tried that repair thing in PC Companion and it says The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated.

Sorry for bad English. :(

But I have now that 4.0.A.2.368 and I want some normal updateble version like 4.0.2.A.0.42 Not any modified version. Do u know where I can get one?

thanks really, I thought that my phone was broken. I broke my last phone (ZTE Blade) and I didn't want to break this one. :D

If you need .42 i have it saved on my pc. Pm me and i'll send it to you. If you want to be able to update over the air you need to lock your bootloader again.
[HTC One X] RenVilo:
Ok so I did do some search and would like to clear up 3 questions please.

1. If I root then the device is still stock (unless I change other things :)) but stock is fine. I only want to root it to use this guide:

http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/

and get those annoying 3 dots away from my screen :)

2. If I root will my warranty still be in tact?

3. If I root will I still get updates that I can install from HTC themselfs?

Off my own topic :) but regarding the upgrade. My phone was imported from Singapore to South Africa because our service products SUCK!!! The update will still come from the South African service provider correct? Don't even know if they will bring one out anyway so...

ps: I have an HTC One X

Thanks guys
[HTC One X] emperact:
Rooting will in theory void the warranty. But you can always unroot to get warranty back. BUT because that you are unlocking your bootloader, you are also voiding your warranty, completely.

There is no way (as of now) to get back to a state, where you have warranty, from an unlocked bootloader.

Only way to root and "keep" warranty, is it either get S-OFF, or find an exploit so the devs can make an easy program like GingerBreak, to root your phone.

Yes, as long as you are on a stock rom, you will get updates, but I don't know if you will loose root that way. I don't think so, but I am not sure.
[HTC One X] Goku80:
you only void the warranty if you unlock from htcdev if for example the software you flash on your phone cause an issue with the motherboard for example like overclocking and such. if you have a hardware issue like a broken screen then you are still under warranty. someone correct me if i am wrong..that is kinda the feeling i am getting by reading through the forum
[HTC One X] RenVilo:
soooo glad I posted it :) Just registered an account on HTCDev :) Not gonna do it that way :)

Ok, can anyone please let me know how to get rid of those 3 dots then :) I hate being in a app and it reduces the screen for the dots.
[HTC One X] EddyOS:
You can't without unlocking and rooting your phone
[HTC One X] emperact:
Use this to root, without unlocking your bootloader. :)

EDIT: Link removed for now.. Not sure if it is working on the Tegra 3 version.

EDIT 2: You guys just have to wait a few hours! Root is on its way!
[HTC One X] headart:
From the conversation i had with the online tech support at HTC they said that my warranty would be void if i used the unlocking tool at HTCdev.

I even specifically asked if hardware faults would still be covered and he still said no.

Ok cool... Please can you update with a link when it's working :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelfox:
I dropped my phone and the battery came out. I've dropped it before, but this time the screen doesn't turn on. The keyboard lights work when I slide it out, and occasionally the phone will make the sound when I plug it in to charge.

I plan on taking it to the repair store and see what is exactly wrong and if it's worth the cost to fix.

If not Im considering the ns4g or e4gt. If I get the e4gt, then I can wait until at

Least the 2nd generation lte phone and lte coverage to come to my area. If I get the ns4g, it's less than half the going rate of the e4gt, and presumably will get android updates faster. Downside is that memory is not expandable, and I used a 32gb card in my epic 4g.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omair2005:
They can probably fix your phone.. but you should get ns4g and upgrade to new lte phone within 3 months.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelfox:
Thanks.

I've actually reconsidered staying on contract. While the phone price is nice, part of me wants to just pay the extra money for a used phone. I don't even know when LTE is going to be released in my area anyways, and 4G hasn't been a necessity really.

Although I really like the new phones that come out.

For all you news aggregation aficionados, now that we have a leaked version of Flipboard. What do you prefer Flipboard, Currents, Pulse, or some other app?

I installed Flipboard and played with it for about 30 minutes and went back to currents, It has a nice look and feel but I just prefer currents.

Sound off...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Minimal Reader Pro (even better with v3.0)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oliroe:
Newsrob Pro. It's probably my most use app and syncs with Google Reader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
Google Reader for the specific feeds I care for.

Google News to have a quick overview of the current (biased) medias.

Russia Today to have proper journalistic reports on world events.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I use flip board mostly on my ipad hated it on my iPhone and the same as the android phone app. I mostly use pulse
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Just set up Flipboard and I love it. I use Pulse more for news though, for now they seem to have more sources.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
Browser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
Good old Google Reader does the job nicely, just add rss from whatever source I love
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I like the UI of Pulse better than the others, I use it the most. but I sometimes use the others too.

Oh flipboard for the win!!! i loved this when i still had my iphone (BARF) but now that it's on my big gorgeous nexus screen I'm loving it even more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Twitter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupaDupaFly24:
I use Currents!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] copkay:
Google Reader. In my opinion, you just can't beat the simplicity and effectiveness of RSS. I do miss GR's shared items, though -- you could run across some good stuff that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Pulse and bacon reader, and twitter

Pulse can also take in any rss feed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
So I went back and played around with it more, and basically ended up with the following reason why I use Currents over Flipboard.

1. Currents converts anything that has an RSS feed into a reader style, Flipboard on some sites will forward you straight to the webpage when you click on a story, that's Kind of annoying.

2. Flipping to see the next story in Flipboard pretty sweet when reading trends, but I prefer a listing format so I can select what I want without flipping through 10 stories.

3. I prefer the way Currents aggregates the individual sites so you can select categories of content.

4. A big one, is that Currents pulls in the pictures from the original story, I found outside of the main cover pic, Flipboard does not pull in the other pictures.

5. No social networking, I prefer to have social networking apps absent of my aggregator. If I want to share I could use Androids built in sharing link and share or send it SMS, DropBox, Drive, Email, Facebook, Twitter..etc. Well Flipboard only allows you to share by email and with Social networking sites connected through Flipboard's Web API..(I hate when I have to do that).

6. In the end I can get to a story faster in Currents than in Flipboard, andI have way more options. Flipboard is more form over function, I like function.

Love Pulse. Ever since the Vibrant days.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johninsf:
Good topic...I have tried many.

1. Flipboard: Loved it on iPhone and just downloaded/installed on Nexus. A little strangeness with the flip action/twitchy pages especially when trying to navigate. It feels like beta. It is so slick on iPhone.

2. Pulse: really like it. Very smooth, well designed and functional. Love the browsing section and how easy it is to add new sources. Attempting post to FB force closes.

3. Taptu: Different from Pulse but looks very similar. Syncs well across devices. G Reader integration is nice.

4. Currents: The look is nice and love its integration to Google but not sold on it yet. It needs something and not sure what. I need to use it more.

5. Feedly: Really like this one my PC but it does not work well on this phone. It seems choppy and attempting FB post does something weird with FB pop up.

6. NYT app: Decent if you only want to read NYT
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samthe2can:
I keep coming back to Google Reader, can't put my finger on it, it's just simple and works I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Oscar-Mark:
Pulse

I've only tried Flipboard and Pulse and they are both great!

Pulse has good UI with ICS theme and I really like the easy "save for later" button!

It also has good offline reader though lately (might be after I rooted my phones)

the scrolling have been less smooth and very laggy and weird! Also the bottom tab pops up all the time which is really annoying!

Flipboard is made for iPhone, but I love the slide left to right to go back option and it really good though I wish there was a "Add to Pocket" button!

Will try the others that you mentioned!

Is there any Pulse-like news web reader? I can't find any good RSS readers for Chrome/windows/web

i have been looking for the absolute bone stock bootloaders for my phone for about three hours now. i decided to reset it back to unrooted stock, but when i did, i used my jig and it still didnt reset the counter back to 0, so i found some bootloaders off of a 9100. it took my counter away, but now it says 9100 when i boot up. it is really annoying to see that when i boot up. so if anyone knows where i can find the stock bootloaders... or any bootloaders for 2.3.4 for that matter, please let me know... I WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATIVE!!! thanks

i actually managed to find the old bootloaders. the only downside is that it runs in a pda. but it worked perfect! and i didnt want to flash to ics again. i just came from ics. and plus, if i went back to ics just to do away with the triangle, i would end up getting it again when i flashed entrophy's kernel again, and i would be up that same creek again

ANYWAYS, if anyone needs the stock bootloaders, they are here!

The files that i had were indeed 2.3.4 and rooted, but did not include cwm. And, yes i know the files are on a sticky in android dev. When i reset to stock, however, it did not replace the ics bootloaders, so where i flashed entrophy's kernel with heimdall, the ics bootloaders would not allow me to reset the custom binary count. But no worries. I found the gb bl's and got it all wiped. I am now running stock 2.3.4 (my personal fav) with entrophys and everything is running flawlessly. Overclocked to 1.45 stable and stock battery lasted over 24 hours with moderate usage.

Any ideas or workarounds or do I just have to suck it up and manually enter the info into my contacts individually?
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
Many have complained about issues with the kernel in ICS. On any build, it is vital that you not use setcpu or any other cpu scaling app. Don't change the max/min freq, don't change the governer, nothing. Perflock will constantly reset any changes and cause the cpu to run at either full throttle or full min - no in between. Until we get kernel source and custom kernels, this will always be the case. It's something HTC does.

Many cpu monitor apps will do the same. The link in my sig has more info, and a link to a cpu monitor app that is safe to use with our kernel.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
Actually when I was on the second ics leak, and setcpu worked fine. I know this because I benchmarked before and after setting frequencies
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
benchmarking doesn't mean it wasn't running at full tilt when you didn't need it to. unless your kernel magically doesn't include perflock, it was.

also, there are some combinations of setcpu and monitoring that will work. at one point if i used setcpu, cpu monitor, and one other which i forget now, it would work, kind of. definitely not recommended.
[HTC Rezound] blestsol:
Thats why I deaded mine. Phone was constantly overheating
[HTC Rezound] dg4prez:
since i stop fighting with the kernel i've had nothing but great battery life and performance since the first ICS leak.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
tsp, what i don't understand is why something like system panel, which shows you scaling (but doesn't let you change it) showed the proper correct scaling between 384 and 1512 and hardly EVER hit full throttle on GB, but on ICS, it's always showing full throttle.

then i installed your widget you showed me, and it showed constantly chagning like system panel used to on GB.

any idea why? which one is rgiht??
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Agreed. I had set CPU try to disable perflock and limit to 1200mhz on conservative and it ended up being worse battery and slower overall.
