I'm having some trouble installing ICS 4.0.4 BCM RC3.4U1 on my HTC Desire GSM.

I flashed my HBOOT to Data++, I wiped all of the data and cache partitions and even reformated my SD card, but I can't get it to install. I gets to "Inspecting Partitions Sizes" and never proceeds. Any help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUrgit:
Did you format the other partitions e.g. boot, system - after you flashed the data ++ hboot ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikocijan:
What did you use to partition sd card? clockworkmod recovery is not a good choice. You should try it with gparted or 4ext recovery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MIMi King:
Full wipe then flash Hboot again.. Happened once for me.. try changing hboot to another one then flash Data++ back.. and use 4ext.. :)

The original Samsung charger outputs 5V---1000ma, I have an extra blackberry micro usb charger that outputs 5V---750ma.

I want to use my old blackberry charger in my office, will this different current output affect my battery long term or short term?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamice4u:
One of the immediate side effects will be that your phone will take a longer time to fully charge your battery.

If I helped you out in any way please thank me. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not sure how the blackberry chargers are. I know some of the Motorola chargers are accepted by the phone for high current charging (any charger that doesn't puts the phone in low current mode).

I charge my phone every night on my old 700mah Samsung charger and while it does take longer youd hardly notice unless you were trying to get as much charge in say an hour as possible. So as long as the phone doesn't limit it you should be good. <500mah is very noticeable.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] edlee:
I know it will take longer to charge. But Im not as familiar with appropriate charging output for li-ion as i am for ni-mh Sanyo eneloops for example that ideally should be charged at 220ma to maximize cell life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
The rule still applies the less current used to charge the better the lifespan. The phone was paired with a battery with the intention of using a 1 amp charger. The phone will only allow high current charging mode if it thinks the charger is Samsung. Shorting the data pins is a way to fool it and many aftermarket chargers already do this.

With your phone on and the phone in low current mode (320 mah i believe) you will have a hard time charging the phone if anything is wake locking the phone even screen off. You will even have trouble charging and using the phone at 500mah depending on whats going on.

The phone will be eating some amount of power from the charger, the battery is not always seeing as much current as you might think. I always stick by the practice of not deep discharging it, LiION would rather be topped off then not charged (geeze remember NiCad laptop batteries.... lol). I feel this battery will be the shortest lifespan of any phone or laptop I have ever had. Just due to how much use it sees.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BBJon:
Charger

Any micro usb charger should work. I've had a dozen or so different gadgets that all use micro usb from Blue Tooth headsets, to speakers. I use all chargers interchangeably with one noteable exception. My wife's Nook Tablet will only charge using the provided Nook charger. Found that out the hard way.

I have also found that not all micro usb cables will provide data transfer for all phones. I'm guessing different pin-outs? For instance when I was trying to root my ET4G, I forgot my OEM cable at home so I tried to use my EVO cable. That dind't work well at all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
My old blackberry chargers seemed to work fine but I started seeing some strange jumping around of the battery while using. For instance it would all of a sudden jump up to 100% charged then if I unplugged and plugged back in it would go back to 70% or whatever. I went back to only samsung or just charging off usb. I use my pc, printer, cable box etc to charge my phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I charge mine with either the stock charger that came with my E4GT, or an old 700MAh charger that came with my old Samsung Rant. Occasionally I use the charger that came with my HTC Evo 4G. I really can never tell a difference. Although, like someone above said, it seems as if non-Samsung usb cables will not charge when plugged into a computer. That's how it is with the HTC cable, and I've also tried an LG usb cable and got the same results.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] euphoria:
Really? I rooted and always use Odin using an HTC cable...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
I had the exclaim, the replacement to the rant and thats where my 700mah charger came from.

All of my other Micro USB cables except the one are non samsung and I use them all for charging, data and they charge while connected to pc. But none of them are from other phone manufacturers or anything. The Micro USB spec is what these phones are using there is no difference.

The difference that matters most of the time is tolerances. Its easy to end up with cables that will work well in one port but not another. The rest of the cable may also be out of spec and not work well or at all for certain purposes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
I've ruined two batteries because of non-OEM chargers on the ET4G. (Actually, ruined two, and made a third battery just render terrible performance.) I definitely don't have the problem with other devices I own, and it's definitely happened with two separate ET4G's I've owned.

So, "be very careful using alternate chargers" is all I would advise.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
Please correct me if I'm wrong but isn't electricity the same no matter the source?

If the phone is looking to pull 1A and your charger is rated for .7A I'd be worried about the charger not the battery, which technically is a cell not a battery.

Tolerances were mentioned before and I think that is most of the problem with certain cables working fine for some people and not others. All connectors and cabling are supposed to meet the USB spec and many cheap ones don't. Also the supposed 10,000 insertion rating for micro USB is a bit optimistic imo. I replace cables after a couple months max because of loose connections.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Not really because these chargers are doing AC to DC conversion and voltage regulation is a huge factor in its job. With a bad charger design not only can charging be affected, possibly even hurt the battery. Since the phone will consumer charger power to run while on the charger the phone can become unstable. Not talking a defective charger, just bad and cheap designs.

I think about that alot actually. Coming from PC power supplies you never want to overload the unit. But I know for a fact I have devices that demand more from chargers than can be given, and do not have the low current and high current modes like this phone.

I am no electrical engineer and am only familiar with AC to DC and DC to AC circuits and various voltage regulation techiniques. But it is possible to current limit as well right? You design a half amp charger, with the data pin short to put the Samsung into high current. You limit the current to 500 mah but over build the components just a little to increase lifespan.

Anyways, I bought a 2.1 Amp RCA wall charger from walmart last night on a wim. 9 bucks, might come in handy when i get a tablet. Has a 1 Amp side and a 2.1 Amp thats shared with the 1 Amp. Phone didn't show any ill will to it and I had my Schosche GoBatt on the 1 amp end. If the phones drawing too much current could be bad in the long run but its working so far. Charged at the normal speed of the stock charger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dberend:
I agree with you on bad and cheap designs. How many tv's and other electronics have been rendered useless by a few substandard capacitors that saved the manufacturer $.02 per unit?

I try not to use any charger that doesn't have HTC, Samsung, etc on the label. I figure if they were willing to back it warranty wise for the original device it should put out clean enough power.

I'm far from being engineer but I do quite a bit of hardware hacking and learned a little bit about electronics when I was at Ft Gordon. So I'm not completely lost around a multimeter;)

I would imagine that there is some protection built into the charging circuit of the phone itself. How effective or what kind of tolerance Idk suppose I could look for datasheets if anybody really cares.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afinita:
I'm coming from a thunderbolt with an extended battery. I'm used to crappy battery life, and indeed I lose about a percent an hour playing music on my galaxy nexus with is way better than my thunderbolt.

The issue comes that when I have the screen on I lose about 1-2% a minute, even if I'm just reading an ebook. Calling is fine, DOWNLOADING/STREAMING is fine, but the screen on just kills the battery.

It also gets very, very hot on the upper portion of the screen, but doesn't if I'm downloading something with the screen off.

My question is, is this normal?

As well, the screen has a yellowish tint when looking at it directly, but takes a blue tint at a very slight angle (annoying) is THIS normal?

I want to know how much arguing and yelling I'm going to have to do when I try to exchange this phone.

Writing this took me from 22% to 13% D=
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsjc741:
I'm new to Galaxy Nexus phones, but i've been here long enough to know that the yellow tint and blue side view tint is a manufacturer defect.

My battery drain, too, is really bad.

currently, it's 57% of my battery drain, but its been as high as high-60's before.

Facebook comes in 2nd, killing 10%. Almost makes me want to uninstall it.

Today, I noticed it was hot when it was idle in my pocket throughout the day.

It could be bad heat dispersion because of the slim design or cpu usage.

I feel your pain though. My battery went from 100% to 56% in 5H 20M of idle time and 40M of texting / light surfing usage.

Mobile data was off for the 5 hours and 20 minutes, too. >.>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mitchell4500:
My phone does all that too. Including the upper part getting hot. I would like to know more about this too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
What's your brightness set at?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mitchell4500:
Mines about 60%
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
The CPU is in the top right hand corner, mine has hit 60°C before, still fine.

Having your screen on and at a high brightness will absolutely murder your battery and will help raise the temperature.

Screen will always be the highest drain as it is big.

Lower brightness to save battery and delete that damn Facebook app, it stops your phone going into deep sleep which drains your battery.

As for the yellow tint, flash a custom kernel and modify the colours.

My whites are perfect, not a sign of yellow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] afinita:
My brightness was set to auto, but I predominately work/play in dark rooms, when I wrote the post yesterday over a period of a couple minutes it was in a completely black room.

This is all in relation to the Thunderbolt, though. The screen uses more battery, but I thought AMOLEDs are very efficient (black wallpaper, yay minimalism!). I'm getting about the battery life as my Thunderbolt did with its stock battery, but considering it was the first LTE phone in the US I would think it would be a more inefficient and cumbersome radio chip. It doesn't get nearly as hot as the Galaxy Nexus did, which is why I am so alarmed.

I don't want to have a phone that I can only use the screen for an hour and some change, and while I don't expect to use it solidly for eight hours, I did expect it to last at least as long as the Thunderbolt did. Is there a larger extended battery than the one sold by Verizon that adds very little bulk? I may try investing in one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mitchell4500:
This. I also had a thunderbolt. I expected this Nexus to out perform it in the battery field but no way. My thunderbolt with stock battery would last from 6am to 6pm which was fine for me. Id just start charging when I got home at 3. This thing when I get home its at like 3% and these past 3 days Iv had the nexus off half the day to save battery while I took AP Tests.

This phone is perfect, except for the battery. As for brightness anything under 60% gives me that yellow tint. Im using the Apex rom right now. I dont see any custom color settings. What rom do you guys use?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolqf:
Download from toolbox lite and use it to disable some apps from loading at startup that you know you don't need. This got rid of the issue for me. Installing Franco kernel further helped my battery. I am on stock rom.
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
My wives phone nightly is attempting (and succeeding) to backup her entire music library, pictures and videos to their server. We've disabled the sync and we're not subscribed to Vcast. It wouldn't be a huge problem except that her line isn't unlimited data and she's barely under her data allowance each month. I'm unlimited and I still don't use near the data her phone claims she does. I'm on XDA so you know I'm VERY data intensive. Comes with the territory right? Has anyone else ran into this problems? If so do you have any solutions?
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Is the phone rooted?

If so, just delete the VCast files from /system/app

Alternately (and probably safer if possible) you can try to see if you can "disable" any VZW services that you're not using by going to Settings > Apps > All Apps. Find the Vcast service app (and also probably HTC Media Upload Service), select them, and hopefully the "Disable" button is available for those apps.
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
Disable button is a benefit of having a 4.0 and above ROM. Unfortunately I've not rooted these phones so it's not even an option. Good suggestion though.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Ahh, boo. You're right.

OK, so go into the accounts section in settings and make sure the HTC account is disabled and none of the services are set to sync. I can't remember the GB interface off the top of my head so I can't be more specific right now, sorry..

But without root, you'll likely have to figure out how to shut the service down via its interface in the settings menu.
[HTC Rezound] Geoi1006:
The basic info/solution tech support offered was to watch when it attempts to start and disable data. She could find no logical reason for it to act like it is .
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
That hardly seems like a solution. So basically they say you have to babysit your phone and disable data when it tries to do something you haven't told it to do?

If it were me, I'd bite the bullet and wipe it. Hopefully she used the Google services for contacts and stuff instead of VZWs so most everything should automatically come back. I'd rather spend a day restoring my phone than have to bother with monitoring it all the time because its acting up for unknown reasons..

Might as well take this as your opportunity to unlock the bootloader and root it too, since the unlock process forces you to wipe the phone anyways..

Plus once you unlock it, you can use Amon Ra to do nandroid backups and then your phone is forever protected from stupid things like this, as long as you backup every now and then.
[HTC Rezound] zourn:
Go to settings > accounts & settings . Look for any Verizon or vcast account, you click it, unchecked box for "backup music"
[HTC Rezound] tekhna:
Just unlock it and put ICS on!

Problem solved.
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
Did she go on to her My Verizon page on the Verizon website? I noticed this new Vcast cloud feature when I was changing features on my phone's service last night. (I removed wifi Hotspot since the Hotspot app on the Rezound doesn't work properly and they ain't gonna fix it anytime soon.) Under the features section their are several cloud options. The default 500 megabytes options is Free and was already active on my features even though I don't remember activating it. However, there was an option to remove this feature. Might be worth a try.

[HTC Rezound] NickTheMajin:
This has been like this for the past several roms I've ran. Basically when the screen is off, I do not receive text messages. When I turn the screen on, I get all of my notifications basically instantly. Is there a setting I'm missing here that shuts off connection when the screen is off? Right now I'm on venusaur rom.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
This happened to me once when I somehow had sync over 3G disabled, AND have the setting to disable wifi when the screen sleeps enabled

Check account & sync in settings, and check the advanced wifi menu in settings as well.
[HTC Rezound] NickTheMajin:
I always leave wifi off because I have an unlimited plan. So I do have it so wifi shuts off when the screen is turned off and to never auto turn on. Not sure if that has anything to do with not receiving texts.

In accounts and sync I do not see any sort of option to sync over 3G. Overall its enabled though.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
Well, have you flashed any radios or anything like that on this phone?
[HTC Rezound] NickTheMajin:
I have not flashed any radios at all.
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
SMS has nothing to do with wifi or data. So it shouldn't affect the normal texts coming in.

MMS that is a different story.
[HTC Rezound] NickTheMajin:
Thats what I thought which is why I can't seem to think of what would be causing this. Sometimes it comes through four-five minutes late and other times it will not come through at all until I turn the screen on. This has only been happening relatively recently and I'm in a constant five bar area.

[HTC Rezound] EnduringGuerila:
Are any of you running anything like Juice Defender? Maybe you can download Juice Defender to help you find the option to allow screen off operations.

Alternatively, you can try going to: Settings, Power, Power Mode, change to High Performance.

[HTC Rezound] NickTheMajin:
No Juice Defender or anything here.

And I just noticed this. I went to send a text message and turned the screen off. I went to check twenty minutes later to see if there was a reply and the timer was still going. After a few seconds of the screen being on it said text sent. This is a huge issue.
