[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CarRamrod234:
I just bought my GNex off of someone from Craigslist the other day. The phone is in perfect condition, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. But the issue I'm getting is the battery drains extremely fast, but only when I have my screen on. I am running AOKP milestone 1 ROM with Anarchy Kernel. But, I have tried lean kernel as well as 2 others and they all gave me the same problem. When I have my screen off it drops 1 or 2% over the course of an hour, and that's while leaving 4G LTE turned on. Only sync I have is GMail and weather, but weather is on a 6 hour interval. I do have Facebook as well as Hanging with Friends, but as I stated even with those apps, which I get very few notifications for in the first place, the only time my battery drains is with screen on, as I lose about 20% battery per hour if I am using the screen and while I use it I can actually just sit and watch the battery percent drop, regardless if I am using data or not. I can provide screenshots another time if needed, and I have installed better battery stats to monitor this over the next couple of days. I think when I checked yesterday at work before I had to charge with less than 10% left, my screen had been used only 1.5 hours, or less, for the 4-5 hours I had my phone off the charger. Are my expectations just too high? Granted, I just came from the HTC Thunderbolt which had a terrible battery as well, which I used to disable data, sync, etc. to get good life, but eventually graduated to the extended battery. Also, do you think this could also be from the phone's previous owner not properly charging it or leaving plugged in too long? I am considering getting the 2100 mAh battery, but am weighing that with other options first.

EDIT: Also, I noticed sometimes when I charge it while at work, thus leaving it turned on, it takes well under 2 hours to fully charge. Is that normal? Seemed very fast to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CarRamrod234:
I am mainly on LTE, but have Wifi on right now and it hasn't been long. Also, I have disabled the damn Facebook app as I know that is junk. Do these stats seem normal and I am overreacting? Just looking for some advice. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sidswami:
Same here!

Completely agree. When I use my mobile I can practically see the battery drain 1% for say 5-10 mins. My battery consumption is also mostly by the screen (around 46%). This is with zero brightness.

I ran out of charge (from 100%) in the morning around 7AM to zero at around 5PM with fair usage. And I already run on extended battery 2100mAh. Today I wanted to give a few things a try. I have switched off wifi, turned off live wallpapers, have kept screen brightness to zero, installed 2*battery, turned off gps, no facebook ap installed, turned off auto rotation and run only 2G (the 2*battery app turns on the 2g once every 15 mins to check for email and other updates and turns in off). I am running at 70% battery now (at 4:00 PM in the evening today) which is good. But when I use my phone (screen) for 10 mins I can see the battery % dropping. Also makes me wonder if I have to turn everything off then what is the point of having a smart phone in the first place.

There should be something weird with the screen power consumption with zero brightness I suppose, but unable to figure it out.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheikhumar93:
I just tried to install CM7 and CM9 using this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1375156 using the latest build from Epsylon3 dated 14th May. I am on the Froyo kernel and already had CM7 stable installed. Everything goes smoothly until I reboot using 2nd boot (version 0.5.5). When 2nd boot opens up I press the power button on the first option that shows up on the screen i.e CM9 since I have named the folder in /root/multiboot/CM9 in my SD card. But instead of loading up CM9 it opens up my main ROM CM7 with all my apps and data from that ROM. I don't know what I am doing wrong, the phone's loading the same ROM both in 2nd boot and 2nd init. I tried to delete CM9 by removing the folder I mentioned and re-installed the ROM again but still it opens up CM7. Any ideas?

P.S. If I install ICS as my main ROM by removing CM7 can I go back to CM7? I didn't properly understood how CG versioning work. Does it apply to kernels (I have the same kernel I had before installing CM7, T-Mobile UK's 2.2.2) or ROMs. When flashing CM or any ROM, is this process supposed to change my kernel?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennimann:
Hello.

Im upgrading my roms relative often.

Now im wondering whats with the data os stores in images.

I dont know which apps stores what and where.

If i swap rooted romimages - can i be sure there wont mess someting or a lot up?

If i use something like Titanium Backup, wont it copy crap from old to new image?

Is it better to reinstall the apps from hand after upgrade from 4.05 to 4.06??

And whats with gmail accounts, other accounts, caches, etc ...?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
If you use archos.ext4.update files (eg. 4.0.5->4.0.6) there should be no problem, dalvik-cache is wiped during update.

However if you want to change Android version (Honeycomb->ICS or the other way) it is strongly recommended to do a full wipe, there were important changes in the way system handles databases (not to mention that some settings are not present or have different names)

Rather not, TB has option to "migrate system data between incompatible firmwares" and it works fine. However all possible crap present in app data will be untouched

It doesn't matter, data structure is the same.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennimann:
upgraded to ics without wiping dalvik cache (dont know, hadnt the option however)

From rooted image to official.

it showd on first boot updating applications, counted and there were nothing at 30 percent ca.

Had to force reboot my archos, then it counted to 50 percent of my apps, then again a freeze.

Had to to this for times, or five times, then i got in first start wizard.

The total count of apps differred every time about 10 apps more or less at every reboot.

Strange.

The same as i updated from 4.0.4 to 4.0.5

Perhaps i should do a full format before updating and instll all my apps again and work through all apps my settings again?

Sorry for my english.

Thanks for good answers above, but i thinked i had messed my system for two months and have to righten it now for once.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennimann:
I get what i get if i download these rooted roms, and sometimes it is only an image file and a kernel and a ramdisk. However till now it was so.

What i downloaded last time was so an update file.

But there i assume you have to start it somehow from the old rooted firmware?:confused:

p.s

Is there a possibility to examine this images and updates before real flashing?

Or to extract special files from there?

Are these ext3/ext4 images to open with winimage e.g. or to loop mount in linux for example?
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gen_scheisskopf:
Flashing official update always wipes dalvik-cache.

It's perfectly normal- dalvik-cache is beeing rebuilt (ICS shows "updating applications"), freezes during this and differences in app count are also "normal" (happen always on mine Gen9, app count- how many apps have to be processed)

---------- Post added at 03:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

Just copy the image (unzipped!!!!) to the root of storage and reboot. Kernel will do the rest.

p.s

Only real flashing is done for official firmware updates (.aos files) and custom kernel. Archos.ext4 (or archos.ext4.update) file does not modify anything, it's just a file.

If you want to examine contents do

mount -o loop

in linux, files are ext4 images. I didn't use Winimage so I can's say anything about it. However changes between images won't tell you anything unless you a)decompile files or b)know where and what to look

[Galaxy S III Accessories] camspy:
So, I'm analyzing the info found on the internet and this headset seems to be pretty good. People praise the sound chip of SGS3 promising a really good sound. How good can it be? Could it at least be comparable with sound of Cowon products (I own J3)?

I checked the prices, seems like MM 550-X Travel costs half of SGS3 if not more. Pretty pricey...

Just prices differ a lot, check these out, the same product but prices are way too different:

333 EUR

423 EUR

On this page, one of the users complained that the volume level of MM 550-X is the same bad as MM 550 and he owns both headsets. He says that these headsets have too low maximum volume and it is not enjoyable to listen because of that.

I was checking the specs on the Sennheiser website.

I own three Sennheiser headphones myself, they all are sounding very good, loud and overall quality is excellent. So lets get into loudness specs to compare with the models I have:

Sennheiser HD 650: Sound pressure level (SPL) 103 dB

Sennheiser RS 180: Sound pressure level (SPL) 110 dB

Sennheiser MM 550-X Travel: Sound pressure level (SPL) 107 dB (at 1 mW, 1 kHz)

So, as I see by the numbers - the loudness is OK. At least the numbers of the headphones that I already have and use every day and my personal experience say that 107 dB is ENOUGH

I'm using these headphones with computers and media center and these have pretty good outputs, i rarely need to use the maximum output.

But what output via Bluetooth will SGS3 have? There were numbers of outputs including wired headphones, but what about Bluetooth?

Hi...

Im using this as an Audio Enhancer... It may force close if you get a Voice call when you are listening to music. Just install it... Start playing music... then open DSP manager and adjust the setting in it... gives a decent bass effect with the stock headset itself....

Runs better with Google Music.... because once you run DSP Manager, you can control it from Sound Settings menu of Google Music...

Give it a try!

Hello.

Again me. :)

Im wondering if i should swap inofficial sde against official.

Does anybody know what the differences are?

Is it nearly the same, with the recovery menu and "other features" like the nice picture you see for ten seconds :eek: if you install official sde?

This i dondt need, but it is better to keep "old" sde or to get new sde?

What are the differences?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
Official SDE- device is watermarked and warranty (software side) is void

"Our" SDE- very likely there is no leftover/watermark after SDE is uninstalled
[Gen9, Gen10 General] svennimann:
What do they both modify? Can one imagine this as two slightly different "bootlmenus" ?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
In fact they are both custom (not signed) kernels, presence of SDE kernel affects Recovery menu.

However installing official SDE makes the device permanently marked (I don't know the details)
[Gen9, Gen10 General] svennimann:

Thanks for you help!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
When plugged in does it turn on at all? If it doesn't, then you bricked your Streak.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Can I ask you two things? Why flash ROM without being connected to power or why flash knowing your battery is low?

If you are bricked which is more than likely the case then you have to use QDL tool

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
I've never had to use the QDL Tool so I'm not familiar with it. Worse, if your Streak is totally bricked like I believe, the QDL Tool won't help you.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
Learn to use the Search soon because you are apparently the type that really doesn't put much research into what you do so search QDL tool... but if your Streak is NOT recognized after you install the new drivers then you pretty much have a paperweight because of carelessness
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edrill:
How'd you manage to get into recovery with a low battery anyway?! Streakmod usually throws up a low battery message if I try to get into recovery when the battery is below 10 or 15%. What recovery were you using?

You can grab the QDL Tool here.

http://www.rdtk.net/2011/07/16/modding-your-streak-where-to-start/

Of course, like Strephon Alkhalikoi said, if the phone is completely bricked and not getting detected by Windows, then even the QDL tool won't be of much help to you.
