Brightness lowest.

Airplane mode.

Battery saver on

And doing e-book reading all day.

That's the only way one can have this amount of screen on time.

I get around 4 hours of screen on time btw.

I was just trying to figure out how could he get this screen on time :confused:

I use my phone fully and get around 4 hours of screen on time.

For me is same 3-4h not more :)
[HTC One X] panosmdma:
Nice trick....
[HTC One X] Zoneninja:
Meh, maybe he was just lieing or not, he just wanted to share us his battery life, even if it's fake or not.. If you got HOX than don't expect to get battery life as same as Samsung Galaxy S3 because GS3 got a crappy screen with a crappy brightness and if you are using GS3 outside in a sunny day even with full brightness it looks like HOX at minimum brightness. (I tried it) :)
[HTC One X] thekillingroad:
Of course it's a nice figure, but not suprising at all.

Dimming the screen all the way, no data connection at all (that is what 2G is like.:) ) and reading a PDF file which is not forcing the CPU anything hard and what an IPS panel likes.

Don't wanna sound againts you, of course that is a nice figure like I said, but that does not prove anything.

Still the average HOX user gets around 2,5 hrs of screen time with a non-restrictive usage.
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
I don't have any need or wish to lie or trick with the stats. I mentioned what I did with my phone in the OP when I got those stats. Now, I am hardly getting 3-3.5 hours of usage.
[HTC One X] shiverz07:
Yeah, there is really no point in have one of the best phones in the world and not utilizing all its potential. Like I know some people who don't like even using Live Wallpapers because it drains a little battery. Might as well get a Nokia 3310 if all you are after is pretty battery life stats.:p
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
This thread is only intended to mention that our phone is capable of e-reading for hours. The stats are very old and thread aswell. I will request mods to close this thread. Thanks everyone for posting their views here.

Hello. I have a big problem with mine X8. When trying to turn on phone, after few seconds phone reboot... Tried to flash other kernel, other rom, but still have this problem. When phone is pluggen on charger, everything is fine. So may this could be battery problem or something else? thanks for your andwers :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormix500:
Hello everybody.

My phone's display is bricked. In the meantime already bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus :) but nevertheless I would like to save all the data from my internal SGS+ storage. The difficulties I have are:

1. no chance to unlock the phone after boot, cause I don't know where to push the buttons

2. no chance to get into recovery

3. no idea, if it is possible and how i could maybe save the data via download mode?!

So, does anybody of you know a possible way to get the data from my internal sd on my computer? besides i would like to reset the phone afterwards to prepare it for sale. any ideas for that?!

Thank you all for help!

cya
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texten:
is your phone rooted and can you use adb shell?

then you can dump the partitions

edit: if you have succesfully all data restored, flash a stock rom with odin, before you will give the device away (all your personal data will gone) ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasemyass:
if you had the usb debugging active then it`s easy, just start it, download from web QtADB or Android Commander (google them), connect phone to PC and if it`s recognized then all you have to do is to copy from it all you want/need ;)

if you don`t have usb debugging then you have to find a way to mount internal storage in recovery doing it blind ;) isn`t hard, you just need 2 screenshots from exactly the same recovery you had installed on your SGS+ then use one of those programs above to copy from your phone. (I think recovery can be accesed w.o. usb debugging enabled by default)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormix500:
yeah, my phone's rooted and i've already flashed different ROMs with ODIN - thanks so far.

but I've never used the Android SDK and adb shell before, so I have no idea how to connect the phone (via usb mount in recovery? via download mode? boot normally without unlocking it?) and how to use the adb with which commands!?

Thanks for the tools, look helpful ;) and as I remember, USB debugging was activated. But should this even work, if my phone is still locked (with this Android-security pattern and SIM-lock as no PIN can be entered)?

Finally thanks for your quick feedbacks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasemyass:
ofc it will work as long your phone is rooted (for the system access) and usb debugging on. The pin doesn`t lock you phone entirely, just the SIM ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wormix500:
I tried QtADB and it's great! Exactly what I've been looking for, thanks! The better alternative for people who are not used to the adb shell and easy to use for some basic tasks.

edit: faced some problems while copying data with QtADB, therefore tried Android Commander and could copy all files properly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
I have to sell my computer because I'm moving. I won't be able to make these for a while. They're very easy to do on your own though.

First, download this image and don't change its name.

This has probably been described a thousand times here, but I'm posting instructions for newcomers.

Steps:

1 - Extract ROM of your choice

2 - Navigate to /system/framework

3 - Using 7zip, open (don't extract) framework-res.apk

4 - Navigate to /res/drawable-nodpi/

5 - Drag background_holo_dark.png into the folder. It will replace the original

6 - Close 7zip window

7 - Using 7zip, open (don't extract) the original ROM download .zip

8 - Navigate to /system/framework

9 - Drag the edited framework-res.apk into that folder. It will replace the original

10 - Flash ROM

Using these instructions, you can take any .zip package made for Clockworkmod if you want to flash it after you install the ROM. Just delete folders except for meta-inf and drag a folder with the following directory structure into the .zip package: system/framework/framework-res.apk

That's it.

FLASH IN CLOCKWORKMOD -- ALWAYS BACK UP FIRST!!!!!!!!
​

Credit to endursa for making the dithered background image

I took endursa's image and put it into a flashable zip for Clockworkmod. It worked fine on my device. YMMV

No more gross banding on the uninstall screen and wherever that background exists in the UI.

I know there was already a zip for this mod by KamikaZeeFu, but it didn't work on my stock (rooted, unlocked) AT&T One X because KamikaZeeFu built it for VillainTheme, so it didn't flash.

UPDATE: I'll add links for other ROMs, because if you flash one of these on a custom ROM it will likely screw things up.

This overwrites anything you have might have modified in framework-res.apk

For STOCK 1.82: http://www.mediafire.com/?k06sfrmg6fl498j

For STOCK 1.85: http://www.mediafire.com/?kwy2lk791ybeysn

For CleanROM 2.0 by scrosler: http://www.mediafire.com/?16calbhgkpbwzdx

For CleanROM 2.1 by scrosler: http://www.mediafire.com/?p1tazy2jta7zmta

For CleanROM 2.3 by scrosler: http://www.mediafire.com/?9nxfhn2920voz30

I CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY TO ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG WITH YOUR DEVICE. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Sitting at 1.73 I'm too scared to flash.. however these mods were great on my gnex. Good job!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
I didn't do anything but put the image in the appropriate place. Check the link I put in the OP for the source. I'll update the OP to be more specific in giving credit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Oh I wasn't implying anything, they simply took a higher rez image if my memory serves. Looked great on my nexus so I'm sure it'll look just as good on the hox
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
Oh ok. :)

If you're unlocked with clockworkmod, send me (well, upload it somewhere) the framework-res.apk from your phone and I'll add it if you want.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
I planning to use the 1.82 one, do we have to be de-odex to flash this or can we flash it on stock? thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
I pulled the apk and flashed it back all on stock 1.82 and it worked for me. Everything is exactly the same as when it was pulled except for that one png file.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
Great thanks, works as expected. something so simple can make such a big difference haha
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] onesun43:
+1
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
No problem.

And I totally agree. First of all, this should have been the image used in the stock build. Second, everyone who makes a custom ROM should consider including this image. Third, this image is used so often on the phone that it almost ruined the expericne for me before I found the original thread with that image in it. It's really easy to put this into any ROM, but if anyone is scared to mess with it, or just doesn't feel like it, let me know and I'll make more. I'll continue to make them until ROM cooks and developers start putting it in their ROMs.

Otherwise, there are tutorials for making/modifying your own flashable zips, but I can post a short tutorial later for any new people here. My daughter is using my computer to watch a movie right now.

I just finished a semester of learning C++. I'm going to try to learn Java over the summer to get a head start before next semester. Maybe I'll finally be able to contribute more in the near future. I've been saying that for almost two years... but I'm working on it. :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
is it as simple as dragging and dropping the .PNG into systemui.apk? or do you have to decomplile and all that fancy stuff? Reason I ask is Cleanrom2.1 is release and has new changes so cant use the old one no more.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
Hey that would be awesome! Cheers

http://db.tt/5lPQQSmw
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
It goes in /system/framework/framework-res.apk/res/drawable-nodpi
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
Just a normal drag and drop or do we need to decompile?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:
Drag and drop

...into a flashable zip. I think you might run into problems doing it with a file explorer while the OS is running.

Or just put it in the ROM before you flash. That's what you're asking, right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] NguyenHuu:
yeah I did it via flashable zip, works fine, thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jmattp:

Thanks for this fix!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Zabalba:
After further use this mod seems to break CleanROM 2.1 reboot menu. Not sure about anything else.

I also am not sure if it has anything to do with CleanRom being deodexed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jd85jd:
Hey guys i recently installed the PARANOIDANDROID v1.0 for SD haret, as the days went by i loved having the new android on my phone, everything works perfectly the only problem i found was that it was very laggy when opening and closing apps, even small apps such as dialpad, i thought it was that i had bad memory, so i did abit of research and found 1post, hidden in all the millions of posts so i thought id just bring it to light as it worked for me but took me hours of searching so im just being helpful here by posting this, might not work for you but give it a shot anyway.

So if your Paranoidandroid is lagging try....Menu> settings> developer options> Background process limit..and set that...At most 2 processes

Now my phone works so fine, its a whole new experience from when i first installed it, if it doesnt work you can always turn it back

Hope this helped just trying to be helpful to those who are experiencing lagging and aint as up to speed with all this like most people here, please click thanks if it helped :)

Link to where i got it from and thanks to dimdimdim

It's normal for SD roms to stutter or lag especially if you are using an old/low cost class 2,4 or 10 sd card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Nigeldg:
Actually class 2 cards are supposedly the best for SD Android. And when using Paranoidandroid on my class 2 SD card it was fairly good actually.

It's been a while since I last ported a rom, and since the SGN is the first Samsung phone I've messed with, I have no idea where to start. :o Besides, I don't think I could do it alone to be honest.

Trying to root my wife's Wildfire S. Been onto HTCDev and installed the latest RUU but now when I get into the bootloader and try and run FASTBOOT I get told PG76IMG.zip / PG76DIAG.zip is missing and I can't proceed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
I couldn't get the at&t vvm to work on rls 4.1 I ended up trying Google voice again. With the native vvm support in ics it is really good, I can access voicemail through call log, takes tinkering with forwarding settings from message center to your gv number but it is worth checking out. On a side note I set dnd on gv so it doesn't ring more than normal.

That's strange I got ATT VVM working on mine using those instructions for getting it working on ICS it didn't work on any of the previous releases but on this one its fine

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] JFSG:
Anybody experience apps being killed by OS when multitasking?

For example, I have 2 tabs open in Opera. I received a mail and opened Gmail. After reading the mail and return to Opera, Opera is killed and all the tabs have to reload. This happens all the time even when there are plenty of RAM available! (<550MB/766MB)

*Note: This doesn't occur on my SGS2 that is running Gingerbread. My SGS2 multitasks flawlessly.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] scryptd:
Yeah, I too have this problem just by switching from one app to another and back. I will pay more attention to see what else I can notice about it.

Edit:

Mine was with Dolphin HD and some other app.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
I have not had this problem. But I only use the stock browser.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ThE_SoUrCe:
likewise, when using Dolphin HD with at least 3 tabs opened, then an SMS will come via GO SMS, when I return back to Dolphin, all tabs were loading

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] c4Lvin:
That is why we need ICS. I have no big problem with HC but that reloading of tabs are really annoying. On my Note with ICS i can do so much more without the frustration. They have virtually the same specs so only thing i can do is wait for ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] JFSG:
Perhaps. I do suspect HC is the issue too. My SGS2 running Gingerbread multitasks without issues unless it is running out of RAM while the issue occurs all the time even if there are plenty of RAM available on my SGT 7.7!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
I'm having the same problem. What makes it worse, is I got this thing as a sketchpad, and wanted to screencast my drawings....I've successfully completed a few, but I've had a few crash on me.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] irishmatt12:
JFSG,

Try this: under developers option in settings - at the bottom under category "apps", see if the box next to "don't keep activities" is checked.

If it is checked then un-check it.

This is just an idea, since I don't have a 7.7 and haven't messed with honeycomb in a while, but I thought I would throw it out there. I had a similar problem and found that I had checked this option.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gr€€n:
They're no développer options in HC ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rEVOLVE:
I'm wondering if this is related to how the stock tablet has always had such low free memory even when all the background tasks are closed. Someone brought it up in another thread and got the excuse of how android is soo efficient and it frees up memory as you need it, blah blah. That may be right, but I don't feel a top tier device should be such that switching tasks like this causes the background tasks to be wiped just because the free memory is already so low. I may be wrong, but I'm just wondering.

My Razr Maxx w/ Eclipse and CM9 Touchpad both start w/ over 500MB free memory and i don't see this issue on those devices.

Even I waited for a long time for any updates available, but there is no such update till now. Its better to root your tab and install a stock rom.

I did the same and its working much better than the custom rom which was installed in my tab.

I you chose to wait, than it may take some more time. Till than you might find Jelly bean in market. So, I suggest you to root your tab and install a custom rom.

So i presume is whoever managed to order one early on gets it a bit sooner, and if the stock for delivery on the 30th is gone, then that is why your's might come a bit later.
