I am still settling the battery. The trexcell I bought for her gs2 took almost a week to settle in. I will post them once it gets consistent. First day got 3 1/2 which is better but I am sure it will settle in for the 4-5 hour range :)

She made it all day thru work though. She hadn't done that for the last 4 days haha

Today has been a mix of wifi and 4g and a little 3g but left lte radio on regardless. At 1h30m screen on she was at 74%. That is a dramatic increase over stock and on day 2 of charge cycle. Gonna run it down and post some screen shots tomorrow. Its looking very very promising and for >$30 it will solve her poor battery life issue. Once 4.0.4 officially drops I am hoping it can get near the life my maxx gets but that big ass screen sucks some juice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazie1:
I think the official 4.0.4 is rolling out, isn't it? The build imm76k is the official build I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Updated w 2day full charge. Its getting better. No tricks have been connector increase battery life other than setting background processes to 3.

Full sync. Auto brightness. Left wifi on even when not connected. Stayed on 4g all day etc. Should be getting better and better after a few full days of charges. May update again on Wednesday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Meep70:
I gave been using this battery for about three weeks, now. Battery Monitor Widget estimates the mAh rating on it to be 4235mAh +/- about 40% (wide range, I know, but at least it gives a point of comparison). My guess is that it is somewhere near, but below the middle of this range (3025-5929).

I did not have the stock batteries in use, to compare to on this, but I assume that their 1850 mAh rating is close to what is advertised, as many have reported. At the price, even if these are at the rock bottom of the range that the program reports, they are still over 50% more power than the stock battery, and therefore a significant improvement, at the price.

As for the look? It isn't bad, it feels good, in my hand, and my phone is reasonably well protected. The circles on the case are barely visible, in most light. The way I see it, if someone is fixated on how "ugly" my phone is, they aren't looking ME in the eye, anyhow, and I don't have time for people who are too cool to make eye contact with me. I shamelessly wear Crocs, too--they feel good on my feet, and if you are looking at my feet, then you aren't looking me in the eye--same concept, and it filters judgmental people out of my life, in the process. :cool: :p

Edited to add: I have the Sprint version. On eBay and Amazon, this battery is advertised as Verizon only and that it WILL NOT fit any other version. I can assure you that it works on Sprint, with only minor mods to the replacement back, since Verizon has the tabs that hold the back in place, positioned differently. A sharp knife or a nail file, and a few minutes, is all it took to make it work.

how does the naming work and where can i get the latest baseband?

also, do i have to incrementally upgrade my baseband or straight to the latest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Go to general forum and there is a sticky post for basebands that tell you about the naming conventions and all the radios available and instructions.

No incremental needed, just flash what you want.

XXLA2 baseband would match the ril your rom has.

Flash any radio you want, stick with whichever one works best.

is it because it goes ITL41F>ICL53F>IMM76D therefore XXLA2 is the latest one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliaskari:
Hi i live i pakistan which is located in Asia

I bought my galaxy note few weeks ago

Here in pakistan there are almost 5 carriers or network providers(sim)

And i cam go to any shop in pakistan buy a note and put any simcard in it and use the device. And thats exactly what i did.

after researching about the unit i own I found out i own a galaxy note gt7000 which is made in italy(europe) and runs 2.3.6 ITV something ginger bread out of the box

So my question is will i be getting the ics depending on my geographical location which is pakistan(asia)

OR

Will i get the update when its been released in italy throigh OTA or KIES?

Remember i can use any simcard for my note so i dont think theres a carrier issue here. Common sense says i wud get it wen its released in italy but i still want confirmation plzz

And wen will ics be coming to italyyyyy? ??

I'm running a rooted stock kernel/rom from VM

I wanted to ask in the dev thread but I don't have enough posts for it but I suppose this is more of a newbie question anyways.

If I put in the bkernel http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322982 would I be able to use it with the stock rom?

The part about 66mhz support, Whyzor's latest touchscreen driver (don't know what they changed but my touchscreen is driving me crazy), and tethering is always useful. I just want something stable and my phone auto-reboots randomly so I'm ready to try something new.
[Motorola Triumph] tmpullen:
Not certain but I think you can. Why not give it a try? Just do a nandroid backup before making the change so you can restore your phone if you don't like the result.

If you want improved performance but want to keep the original look and feel of your phone try the 'Triumph Stock Re-Imagined' ROM by chairshot215. I think it comes with a version of whyzors kernal. I am using it and it runs great, Quadrant score about 2700.

On the other hand, to my knowledge there are 2 things CM7 can't do, WiFi and Blue tooth will not operate at the same time and HDMI is broken. If you must have one of those well I guess you need the stock ROM.
[Motorola Triumph] awdark:
That is pretty unfortunate. I don't use the HDMI out very often but it does prove useful when I want to show things off. And I am usually on wifi when I'm home >.<

I was somewhat hoping a stock rom would preserve the HDMI feature (did not see the wifi/bt issue) and I had hoped changing out the kernel would theoretically fix bugs and add features in the background while preserving the other stuff.

I really need to make a nandroid backup, I still use the stock recovery and one click root.
[Motorola Triumph] Tokens210:
to my knowledge B_randon has 2 different B_kernels available, one for Stock roms and one for CM7 roms, im not 100% sure if the stock one will work on purely stock or if it has to be running a stock froyo type rom, but i cant see why it wouldnt

as for CM7, the having Wifi and BT enabled causes CPU to max and phone to crash is i bug that im pretty sure was resolved in the later builds

the rom by G60madman called CM7 G60 Style Final no longer has this issue to my knowledge, Altho it still does have the issue where leaving Wifi or BT on may cause it to not go into Deep Sleep Mode, but so far all my research has returned is that is a side effect of the workarounds needed to get wifi and bt to function properly

i currently am running the G60 Style Final on my device and i love it, im Not however running it with the b_randon kernel, due to the fact that in my case atleast the cm7 version of the kernel seems to not get battery life as good as the whyzor based kernel included in the rom

Since I put ics on a nexus s and my epic touch and now a kindle fire it just makes me sad that most of the world has no clue or ever will. By the time we get more pure Google devices they will be on there next version jelly bean. I don't understand why Google bows down to manufacturers. Does Google really need them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
This thread is pointless, many devices over the next year will have ice cream sandwiches. Other than the nexus devices we won't see jellybean devices until this time next year, aka a whole year away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
Google doesn't bow down. Android is open...simple answer, I know.

They are free to do whatever the hell they want. The only time Google is even allowed to have a say is when it comes to Google Apps. Sure, they could tighten restrictions on what it takes to be qualified to get Google Apps, but, that's starting to looked like a less open and more closed garden...if you will.

Google isn't Jesus, by any stretch...but, in the modern IT/OS/API/Platform/etc/etc/etc world they are by far the most open and agreeable of all the big players. This is one of the unfortunate side effects....or fortunate depending on how you look at it. They allow a manufacturer/reseller to make the OS "their own", encouraging them to release Android devices. That's good....however they also allow a manufacturer/reseller to make the OS "their own", encouraging "fragmentation" and update issues.

I prefer it to the alternative. An authoritarian leadership model that dictates what can and can't be.

...and remember, these manufacturers/resellers are TOTALLY FREE to put out whatever the hell they--or YOU--want.....but if it doesn't meet Google's very livable requirements it doesn't qualify for Google Apps.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fataldesain:
No because Google borked Ics since launch. Could of had more devices and advertising pure Google. They had plenty of great ads in YouTube never saw them on TV. Then letting Verizon having it exclusive was a real good move.

Can you think of any other software that comes out and doesn't get used for months or even a year. What is really the point of the update if nobody gets it. If you think Google handled this well something is wrong with you.

Because one of the things that makes android better is the sheer amount of different devices manufacturers out there that causes lots of delays. Apple only worries about 5 different devices while Google has hundreds

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] move_over:
if all the android device makers would just use what Google gives them, ICS would be everywhere. But they all need to add their own overlays like Sense, touchwiz, etc. That's what causes the delays, most times. look at all the Chinese tablets out since January with vanilla ICS, other manufacturers could do the same.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] animal7296:
Not to mention crap like trying to code for the 3D camera on the EVO3D. That is apparently a ***** to do.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ophois:
Why would it make you sad?

ICS isn't a living being that should be mourned when forgotten.

Jelly Bean is going to be better than ICS, otherwise why would you call it an upgrade?

Tech moves fast. The manufacturers take their time and put their overlays on their devices to give them a different feel so when someone purchases one, they don't feel like they have the same device as everyone else.

Google doesn't 'bow down' to manufacturers. Android doesn't belong to google, it belongs to the open handset alliance. It's merely backed by google since they are a leading member of the open handset alliance.

They don't bow down to them, if they did; why would there be requirements for a device to be able to be pre installed with Google's apps?

Do they need them? Well, Without manufacturers, you can't make a device.

I like android because of the choice I have in devices, Not like Apple where you get two deviecs.

iPhone or iPad?

I'd rather it be like this than like iOS is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
I'm not an expert on this but I have heard the main complication with getting ICS to the masses has been the massive changes between the GB standard and ICS. For phones they skipped an entire version of code enhancements that were not made available to them; drivers and other pieces of the standard kernel were modified but only tested on the Nexus devices.

So the manufacturer has to take the new kernel, add their modifications back in, make sure they play nice (which doesn't happen even in the desktop world - Windows anyone?) and then start plugging away at each issue until they get to a stable build. Rinse and repeat when it gets to the carrier. You're talking a LOT of hours to get that far and it doesn't come cheap - we haven't even talked about the cost of test devices.

So considering it took roughly 6 months to get a stable build to end users on a non-Nexus device - folks, from my POV we're honestly spoiled. :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DCRocks:
Spot on!

I have at least a dozen friends on android phones, and I doubt one of them could tell you what version their phone is running.

Heck, even in my IT/Telecom shop, I doubt more than one or two people could tell what version of Android they are on.

Outside of the modding community, most people not only simply don't know, when brought to their attention, they just don't care.

THEM: Does my Facebook work? Can I send pics and texts. Can I play Draw Something and Angry Birds.

Me: Yes.

Them:Then what does this version you keep asking me about matter...

<rolls eyes>
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shiftr182:
I think, because we are in the hacking / development world, we look at the next best thing from source as an upgrade. We are aware of what is about to come out from source, etc, but to the rest of the population, they arent keeping tabs on Google, or even the carrier probably. We know ICS is there, so that is the upgrade to us. The rest of the people see an "Upgrade available" on their phone, so that is their upgrade. We get our upgrade when google releases it, they get theirs when the carrier releases it.

So......today I read some random ROM thread from another device forum and I found interesting "tweaks" that never included in any SGA ROM.....

here's the ROM thread link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1529777

see the thread???? LG optimus one get 76fps neocore benchmark....and SGA only about 61fps with sound on, and 65fps with sound off(official lewa rom with stock lewa kernel)

well, for some people benchmark is pointless.....but how about gaming????

and FYI, those lg optimus one bench result is awesome, because the optimus one cpu is clocked at 787Mhz. My SGA can reach 940 Mhz.....so....this is worth to try

after some searching I found hint for the tweaks:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltingSnowman:
R: Disable vsync for better performance??

The stock rom doesen't have vsync enabled because in Neocore I got 70~ fps without sound and everything stock. The vsync is involved in project butter. Also tearing and artifacts are possible on any kind of resolution and are caused by a framerate more than twice the monitor refresh rate. In my opinion is pretty useless talk about this things on a phone.

download root explorer from market its a very usefull tool that allows you to modify, move, copy, paste, delete, and so on. you can use this to extract apk files from one rom and paste them in system/app
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
To accomplish what the OP is asking will require a lot more than swapping some apk's...

Start reading in the general android section about theming... That should keep you busy for a while.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
Actually root explorer can be used to do most if not all what the OP is asking .....plus much more.

In my opinion......if you like flashing and being creative.....you should have root explorer....it will allow you to do sooo much.

If everyone here would get it and learn to use it.... there wouldnt be so many questions and requests.

I personally have created what I feel to be a master piece by compiling several roms and theme packages and other tweaks into one using root explorer and then when I was happy with what I did I took everything I liked and zipped it up for future flashing

I now have a completely bloat free rom that has exactly what I want that only weighs 109 mb's.

So if I feel froggy and wanna flash a different rom and don't like it for what ever reason....I just flash the one I compiled together.....and I'm happy again lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] anoymonos:
And also I am not claiming this works with all apk's but all that I have tried have worked. I have Miui music player, tweaks from SCOM, themes from Miui plus others and I'm running Pure Entity.

They all get pretty much everything correct like the stock one, but the size. The ones you download are a tad smaller than the stock one. By at least a half an inch on both width and height and the size of the numbers. Is their any way to get the stock clock while running a launcher like Apex?
