My battery has been great for the majority of the life of my XPLay until recently.

Installed better battery stats and found that the office software that comes pre-installed with the device (and has been recently updated) was preventing my phone from sleeping. Uninstalled it using titanium backup and now my battery is back to its best with the phone sleeping when it should.

In short if your battery life is not good on stock rom find out which apps are misbehaving and keeping the phone from entering deep sleep as they will probably be causing excessive battery drain. The phone should use very little battery whilst asleep.
[Xperia Play General] sufy1000:
Does keeping auto-brightness on help with the battery ?
[Xperia Play General] mulllen666:
Depends
[Xperia Play General] paddyash:
Depends on what?.... Not
[Xperia Play General] mulllen666:
depends on the level of brightness you use when not using auto-brightness. SO it's abit of a how long is a piece of string question. If you whack up the brightness to 100% it will use more battery than auto-brightness, if you use minimum settings all the time it will use less. The piece of string is as long as you cut it....

office app? u mean Office Suite 6?
[Xperia Play General] SirRudolph:
Id like to know more about this.

I remove that stuff anyways on stock.

But anything for a better battery life.

Install better battery stats and find out which apps are keeping your phone from sleeping by keeping a partial wakelock and then remove them

Sweet tip. Be sure to put that in my future battery thread.

Much thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kusie:
Hi all,

I´m running a standard S2 with latest LP7 ICS Stock-Firmware.

recently I discovered a very odd thing about the S2´s video recording. While the general abillities are quite good, it seems the device is recording every video with a random fps rate ... especially when recording 720p or 1080p ... i recorded 4 sniplets in a row and EVERY one slightly differs in frame rate ... 29.384 fps, 29,031 fps, 29,782 pfs ... this sucks the big hairy meatball folks! How am i supposed to cut and edit those to one clip without re-rendering all to one steady frame rate?

Also tried LG Camera pro but same problem, despite fixing the frame rate to exactly 30 fps. Anyone hading the same problem? or even better - having a solution to fix this?

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masssy:
Hi!

I will have to send my Kindle back since it has a hardware issue. What is the smoothest way to reset it completely i.e including removing TWRP2 and the custom bootloader.

I found a quite outdated thread in which it seemed like you could just flash the original Kindle image, will that work? Also, I do have a NAND-backup, if I restore the device to this backup will it also restore the bootloader and remove TWRP?

Thanks in advance!

Massy
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiddlefaddle:
If you flash the stock ROM it will reset everything including TWRP and root..
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masssy:
Worked perfectly, had a hard time finding the stock software though. While looked for it I did I find a thread that discussed the matter further. As it turns out you could get it from Amazons site, duh :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintablet:
Can you share the steps as what you did?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fiddlefaddle:
Download the stock software from amazon.com and http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_k6_updatesi?nodeId=200790620

And wipe everything in TWRP then flash like any other rom... :)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wintablet:
The downloaded file is a bin file. After downloading I copied that to root of SD card (Just like any other ROM), however TWRP won't see that file when I boot KF in Recovery.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You have to rename the .bin to .zip before moving it to your sdcard
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_m128:
just be careful with how you wipe. I wiped too much once and ended up having to get a factory cable to fix my kindle.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujal:
First of all, sorry for the absurd title. Couldn't think of anything else.

Anyways, since the time I've got my GN, I've flashed CheckROM (GB), TeamRocket's ICS, Imilka's AOSP, Stunner and I don't remember the others. Now, as discovered, there have been tons of issues with all these repacks and what not. I am on stock GB for now, tried the official ICS, couldn't get root somehow. My question is if there is any way by which I can make my note "brand new". Like nothing ever has been done to it. I don't think just flashing the stock ROM with PC Odin does that, or does it!?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:

[HTC One S] Mr.Evil:
hi all,

my Nexus One is dying and now I'm crazy for buying a worthy successor.

I'm undecided between the One S and Galaxy Nexus ...

The thing that worries me most is the pentile screen, often criticized by many reviews. True, both have a pentile display, but the higher resolution on the nexus hide the pixel matrix.

So, I wanted to ask you an opinion about the screen, because I saw him quickly into the store, but it made ​​not a great impression.

Which is a shame because the rest (hardware, ergonomics, power and battery life) looks very good ...

GNexus is a little bit older, but is equally beautiful (the shape and design are simply awesome for me) and it is much more supported by community, and also it cost me 100 euros less.

What would you do in my situation?

one last thing, I'd like the black version, have been solved the problems of paint stripping? I tried out the gray S and aluminum seems a bit too slippery :rolleyes:...

thanks and sorry for my bad english
[HTC One S] Habarug:
Well, if you don't like the screen, then you should probably choose the nexus. I can't really say I notice it at all, but then I'm coming from a Hero. Overall I completely LOVE the phone! It's fast, has good battery life and sense is nice as well. Also it feels and looks nice, and the size is perfect; a big screen and it still fits perfectly into one hand. I've tried the X multiple times in store and it just is too big for me :)

I have the black version and I haven't had any issues yet, not my mom either (she has an identical phone, It's kind of awkward, but is it my fault she has good taste? :p ). I'm still waiting a bit longer before rooting ,though, jic I have to return it :)

Edit: my biggest concern is the limited storage, but It's okay. I had 8 gb on my hero and never filled it up :)
[HTC One S] GuestX0019:
I see no problem on the display--gorgeous

I did, after testing both in stores, find the One S renders web pages much faster--

Perfect size--
[HTC One S] -deuces-:
i see no problems with the display too. it look better than the amoled screen i had in the past (galaxy s1, nexus s)

i believe its safe to say the processor on the one s beats the galaxy nexus.
[HTC One S] olyloh6696:
One S has a far superior CPU
[HTC One S] ViViDboarder:
I was actually in the same boat as you.

I had previously come from another carrier where I was using an EVO 3D and switched to a contract free plan with an Nexus One.

I found the Nexus One to be great but needed to upgrade.

I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a great phone. It's fast, sleek and, if buying unlocked, cheaper than the One S. The One S was just so cool when I got my hands on it. It's got a far better CPU than the Galaxy Nexus which really pushed me to it. Also, I find the form-factor of the One S to be perfect while at times I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a little bulky.

As for the screen on the One S. I was very hesitant to buy it because in the store I did notice the screen was not at the quality I was used to. Having previously used a true qHD LCD screen, it was easy to tell the PenTile display was not of the same caliber as far as resolution goes. BUT... It does still look great. The colors are fantastic! And, I thought the little niggles of the PenTile display would bother me day to day, but they have not.

Overall, the One S is a fast phone that looks amazing. I like pretty much everything about it (except that HTC is still witholding source code ;))
[HTC One S] Mr.Evil:
I eventually chose the cheapest option...

I got a great deal and for more than 100 euros less and other small details (see the screen resolution or the unconfortable power button on the One s), I took a Galaxy Nexus ....

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the advice ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benydc:
Hello All,

I have HTC Desire HD and I would like to root it. Is [ROM][11/05] Runny Xtreme Surprise - v3.0.0 || Xtreme Fast || a bit more stable than the official ROM?:o Also where should I start if I want to root my device?;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slavon-93:
I think you should use search first. That's how you'll find out how to root, s-off etc. Xtreme Surprise is a good rom, but i don't see much differences between it and Virtuous rom.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benydc:
Virtuous ROM is not the official ROM for the HTC Desire HD, has the one with Sense 3.0. If I root it and upgrade it to Xtreme Surprise, will I get a better ROM with less bugs?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teichopsia:
Before you try a different rom, make a backup of the one you already have. Before you root your phone, read the threads for the roms yoy are interested in. In the first page they will usually tell you if there are bugs. And if not, reading the rest of the pages will give you an idea how it works, if other users have encountered.bugs and so forth.

Sent from a dream.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenRoark:
Runny Xtreme Surprise is #$%@ing awesome, and you will get much better performance than you will on a stock ROM. It's stable as hell for me, but I think any custom ROM is going to have some minor bugs somewhere (although I haven't found any yet). RCMix tweaks seem to be fully functioning on Xtreme and, in my personal experience, the whole thing is smoother than any AOSP ROM I've used thus far (and I used to be pretty heavily biased against Sense).

Sorry for gushing, but I think it's the absolute pinnacle of GB development thus far.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benydc:
AWESOME! Cannot wait then to flash it! I am working now as IT Technician but when I get home I will do it! \:D/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hjacks:
There's a tool that you can use to root your phone in a few minutes. It's not complicate. Use the search option and you will find it without any problem.

Also there's a few roms that you can try, all have different tastes, behavior, app, etc.

Also always make a Full wipe (factory reset) in the phone before that you proceed with flashing a new room

You will be very addictive installing roms like me, I can't stop of flashing roms in my phone :D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benydc:

Can anyone say how to do that ?
[HTC One X] shadowboy23:
First of all you have to be totally stock (stock recovery, stock ROM(unrooted) and re-locked bootloader) if you want to get OTA update. And the most important info:

You can't get OTA update from different region

You can't change your CID or get super CID without S-OFF
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emexrulsier:
I upgraded my phone at the weekend from GB to the ICS using kies and since then I have developed some new faults.

1. Voice comms and driving mode randomly enable

2. Lock Screen says charging even if not plugged in

3. Failing to recognise a cable to charge then all of a suden recognises it

4. Pops up with an info "Charging paused voltage too high" yet not even plugged in

I'm pretty sure its not hardware faults (some threads may suggest a faulty port) because they only started since ics and some of the faults go away if I reboot the phone.

So my first questions are, are these faults known ics ones and can you do a firmware downgrade with kies within going down the odin route?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If you think they are not hardware, save data, wipe using dialer code

After that without signing in to your accounts, flash the GB ROM using Odin and wipe again using same code.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Factory reset first after backing up data .

Kies will not downgrade ..

Sounds more like a bad flash .

I've been on a Galaxy S with miui for some time before switching back (the Hero days ^^) to Htc.

Didn't previous sense versions 3.0 & 3.5 have dropdown toggles as seen in Miui and samsung roms?

I've searched, but found no setting to enable anything, and I miss them (the included settings widgets are just horrid). The settings button is great and all, but it still takes a bit of "diving" to find the setting I want to change.

In fact doesn't even AOSP feature toggles? or is it a cyanogen hack in ICS as well? :P

[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
Have you hit the soft cap on your data plan? If you've been throttled it might feel like you have no data. Are you in a non-HSPA+ market? If so, AT&T's continuing to upgrade the backhaul of their HSPA network so it might have nothing to do with your phone. Their working in my market and I lost data about a week ago. If you have another phone handy see if the SIM works in it. If it doesn't work there it's either your account, the SIM itself, or something to do with the network.
[General Questions and Answers] ConureDelSol:
So, the way school has been going, I've decided that I need to copy my notes down by hand more. It just helps me remember things better for some reason. I currently have a LiveScribe Echo pen that I use to transfer what I write on paper to my computer. That has worked well, but I'd rather not have to worry about buying ink refills and new notebooks with the special paper I need every semester.

So I've been thinking about getting a tablet and just using a capacitive stylus. The only thing close to a tablet I have is a Nook Color that I've run CM on before. The only problem is that there's so much work in updating a rooted device. So I'd rather just have a tablet that I could run stock on since I'm quite the update whore.

What I need this tablet to do:

*Be compatible with apps like AntiPaper and LectureNotes so that I can take handwritten notes during class.

*Be $300 or lower

*Be able to run Evernote so I can save my notes online

*Be a decent ebook reader (I plan on selling the Nook Color to help pay for it)

What I've been looking at is an Asus Transformer (TF101), but I'd like to get some input! Is there anything out there that will run well and do all the things I want but might be cheaper?

The other thing I'm considering is just rooting a Kindle Fire. I know the NC has an issue with screen sensitivity, but would the Kindle work well? Can it be rooted for ICS?
