Yeah, to each his own. It's difficult to find a consistency with all the different setups people have of apps and widgets to come anywhere near a "standard" consensus for battery life. Good luck in finding what works for you. :)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

Super clock as in BW or Sense? Either or, it seems the weather app for Sense was not working properly for me and was constantly refreshing so I set it just refresh when opened. One thing's for sure, the HOX as been one of the most diverse phones in regards to "flaws" I have seen in a while. :(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] robstunner:
The sense one.

I think as far as a standard consensus it would have to be syncing with mobile data turned off. I chuckle every time someone brags at their battery life yet has sync and data off with brightness at 0.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Yeah, I would have to agree. I usually try to keep the number of widgets to a minimum but all of them and accounts, etc., are set to refresh at least every hour. And I like my phone around 40% brightness. As long as I can get from morning to bed time on a single charge while using it the way I want to then I'm happy. Luckily, it seems to be working out for me with my current setup so hopefully future updates don't mess with it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mbh87:
I'm currently at 37% with 3 and half hours screen on time and it's been 21 hours since I unplugged. Pretty much just use my phone to text and browse. I am running CleanROM Lite though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ChongoDroid:
I was recently "tweaking" and after I noticed atrocious battery life. Unusual for me because I usually get amazing battery life.

Two things to keep in mind,

1. Check sync and make sure everything is kosher(! = bad) , then turn off stuff you don't need(Google photos, tasks, ect)

2. I downloaded system panel light and noticed that somehow DCM had spotted working and cpu1 had turned off. Reflashed and all is well.

For battery sufferers a good way of checking for rogue apps is charge your phone to 100% and unplug it before you sleep and see what's using your battery in the morning.

I once got 5+ hours of idle time without a single percent dropping, so it's good to see what's running under the hood folks:)

You sleep more than 8 hours? Lazy....:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Silellak:
One thing that's difficult to tell, unless people post their "detailed" battery view, is how much of an impact poor reception is having. It seems that if reception is anything but "green" in the detailed view, battery life takes a noticeable dive.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jetru:
I had terrible battery. After a few charge discharge, installing CleanROM and using Better battery saver, my battery life now is incredible. I can't believe the change. Everything is totally usable for a day if you're a moderate user like me. Went the whole day today without any charging. Feels good man. Switch to CleanROM.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
Excellent point.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Reamer09:
I kinda agree with you, but not 100%.

My first HOX had incredible battery life, one of the best that was posted in the battery life thread (21 hrs up with 7 hours screen on, still have the screenshots). Unfortunately I made a dumbass move and got into a pool with it still in my pocket. I have my replacement set up the exact same way as my original one and it isn't nearly as good. More like 17 hrs up with 2:30 screen on at best.

Just curious if it would be possible for my phone to have other animations for turning the screen off other than CRT?

[HTC Amaze 4G] RavenWulf:
only way I found to get rid of the CRT animations was upgrading to ICS... on screen on/off ani's at all
[HTC Amaze 4G] Xcor3:
I remember seeing an app from the market that gives you different kinds of screen off animation. I just dont remember the apps name. Go look deep in the market, you might find it.

Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] F033x:
The app is called screen off and lock. But honestly its not the same as having it baked into the Rom, not to mention its only the screen off animation..I guess if you reeeeeaaallllyyyyy need something it helps.
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
I been using this app forever and its great. Lots of screen off animations. Not to mentions it saves a lil ware ans tear on your power button.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
Looks cool, but you cannot set it to function with the power button. :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] coupetastic-droid:
But that's the beauty of it, not having to use the power button. :-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] mikeschevelle:
the app button conflicts with my minimalistic home scree
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Thanks, gonna try that app, I have been concerned about constantly pressing the power button - no matter how sturdy (power button) seems they might just give out some day :)

Call For Community Help!

By now there should be an ample number of new GT-I9300 owners.

Unfortunately I am not one of them, but we are a few hardware developers

that are very dependent on the internal layout of the components inside.

The detailed layout and wiring will help us to confirm and verify the GT-I9300 Service Manual details.

However, in order to develop an un-brickable mod app, and various other DIY add-on hardware,

we also need to understand how things are wired on the inside of this device.

This can only be understood from high resolution photos of the inside circuit board and its components.

We understand it can be a scary experience to perform open hart surgery on your newly

acquired device, but the Service Manual above does provide you with the details for doing so,

relatively safely.

Please post links to your high resolution internal pictures here!

(We would love you forever for doing so!)

Many thanks in advance.

For the past few years, I've suffered with a lot of you through this issue. After applying fixes that didn't work, I finally stumbled onto something with my EVO LTE. Root Call Blocker has a hand in this. After disabling it, my VVM worked as it should (stock ROM).

Just a heads up...

[EVO 4G General] Chirpout:
So are you running ASOP or stock rom?
[EVO 4G General] vwgtiturbo:
For the past two years, it was AOSP on the OG EVO, but the problem followed me to my new LTE running stock ROM (rooted). The only common link was RBC, so I disabled it, and VVM works now (after trying a bunch of fixes that didn't work; different apks, voicemail reset, etc). I reenabled RBC, and the problem returned. So, with RBC being a bigger priority,I moved voicemail to YouMail and all is well...

Sprint VVM fix

I search and searched for a fix to receiving the phantom VM messages coming to my phone when I got a VM. I did an uninstall of the Vm app and re-install. Changed Roms, You name it. Now after all that I am smaking myself in the face.

To resolve the issue

Go to your VoiclMail app

Click on Compose

Click record and then Stop

I then went to share the message, but did not need to. The system recomized what I was doing and synced my messages to the VM application instead of the SMS message I got the Visual messages. YAY!!!!! :D

Wanted to share this, i hope this helps anyone searching for a Sprint VM solution.

Thanks

I am currently using the ICS helfire rom on my g2x. Of course i have root access so i have the ability to tether, but t-mobile is stil stopping me. :(

When i tether on wifi hot spot or usb tether to my laptop (my friends connect their iPods and phones to them all the time and i never get compaints) it redirects what ever page i want to go on to a T-Mobile page trying to get me to pay for tethering. I can easily get around it with a proxy but sometimes i can't use it. Is there anyway around this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pwc realtor:
I wonder if this means T-mobile is finally controlling tethering by packet filtering along with IMEI tracking?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
They shut me down last week as well, and I was tethering using CM7's built-in hotspot feature. Using a VPN or changing your browser ID will get around it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aaCotyaa:
I don't get it.. I was able to tether even before I rooted. Not long ago my wife and I went on a vacation, and the rooms didn't have Wi-Fi like we thought. Tethering to my phone really saved us. Did they block it or something?? I haven't tried it since then.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
Yes, they seem to have started enforcing their requirement to have a tethering plan sometime in the last week or two.

[HTC Sensation] AndroidNeophyte:
It might be one of those system apk.... If you have root explorer, copy the apk to system/app folder, if you cant copy; make sure you click the "mount r/w" button... Then touch and hold apk to open an option, select permission...

Set permission like this, then reboot

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I was wondering if anyone else had similar issues like this in the RDU area.

When I go to make a call, whether it be to another mobile phone, or a landline phone that has caller waiting. I get a busy signal. This happens on Sprint networks and roaming networks. I can resolve the issue by either powering the phone off and turning the phone back on, or by putting the phone in airplane mode and then turning airplane mode off again.

Has anyone else run into this issue in the RDU area? Specifically near Apex, Cary, and Raleigh? Or is this issue specific to me? The issue persists between wipes, and flashes of the OTA files, so I am pretty sure it isn't a phone problem anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
It's network side.

I've been seeing a lot of service issues across NC in the systems, it's not just the RDU area. Winston and Charlotte markets are encountering this also.

I actually think that Sprint's either tweaking the towers or implementing Network Vision. When the tower closest to my store went down, it was hell. It just came back up the first of this week, but we've noticed that 3G is blazing fast now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crevis24:
I really hope this is the case. I live close to Garner and the signal in and around southeast Wake County is almost unbearable. I have been tempted to look at other carriers, but I am giving Sprint a little more time, hoping they will come around. I travel all across NC for work too, and it seems like it has gotten much worse over the last 2-3 months. :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graphic1982:
I noticed i could only get 1x when i was on that side of town the other day Sunsparc. I actually saw this happen about a month or two around the tower thats by Harris Teeter and the Ymca. Hopefully they're updating all the salisbury towers.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
I hope they get it worked out. The last week or so I've had more 1x signals than I've ever seen in places around Winston that are normally strong 3g areas. I was also surprised when I was in Raleigh last week that there was no 4g around the downtown area and the 3g was crap as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crevis24:
Absolutely......I cent even use the 4g here in Raleigh.........it won't stay connected. I'm in the heart of Cary right now and I am fluctuating back and forth between one and two bars. Unreal
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
I just want to bump this and say this is STILL happening.

Called them up today and they said the only issue that they have been informed of is EVDO data issues.

So, I am stuck, because it is happening between wipes, Sprint says there isn't a problem, and I am not sure what else is going on.

Anyone have any other ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Sunsparc:
Customer Care is going to tell you it's a device issue to get you off the phone. Go to your nearest repair location and ask them to put in a CTMS ticket for your phone. They should already be doing this for anyone complaining of signal issues where the device is found to not be at fault.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] slixzen:
Yeah, so I attempted to do that today.

Went to the store, and they immediately told me that there was a tower outage, and they wouldn't pull my phone back and do any form of diagnostics. So, what I did was call up customer service, then explain to them what was going on and ask them to speak to a tech at the store.

After a while, they told me there were two tower outages, that were blocking 14% and 90% of calls, and then gave me the phone back and was told that the ETR was over the next two days.

To be honest, the techs there are not always the friendliest, especially the older one that works in the cary location, I have had the pleasure of dealing with him multiple times. Generally why I like to call more often than not.

As far as the CTMS ticket goes, is there any information that I should give them? I was given an ETR for one of the two towers that was told to me to be having issues.

Not sure if you can check, but they said Tower Number: RA74XC340 was experiencing issues.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icemasta31:
Well some of the space is missing because of formatting and do you have Android installed on it? The Android installation does take some flash space.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustinhayes93:
Alright. And yes I do. Just making sure this was normal range. About to install Ubuntu and wanted to make sure it was normal
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
Android takes up about a gig or so of space. WebOS takes up another gig or so. Plus, the storage space available is measured in base-10, not base-2, so 32 GB is 32,000,000,000 bytes, and when you format it down, overhead and the like takes up a bit more. It's the same with HD's. I have 2x 1TB HD's, and when I formatted them and got them set up together in RAID, I was down to 1.8 TB total space, not the 2.0 one would think I had.

So yes, this is normal.

create a new apn called whatever. put the apn in as epc.t-mobile.com and save it. select it as the default and reboot. All is now good.

Or, if it is a sensation, head over to the dev forum and download one of the unlocked tmo specific roms. they work.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tgtoys:
I believe if you use a tether app from the play store tmobile won't detect it. Usually only happens when you use the stock app that is programmed to check If you have tethering package.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shinigenEddy:
It's happened to me before when I used a tethering app too..however after some research I found an easy workaround to it!

Apparently, this is caused by T-Mobile doing something with Chrome browser which causes some of the packets/strings sent to block it, or something along those lines.. I am not exactly sure how it works, but a solution is to use Mozilla Firefox or an alternate browser - I have been doing this for a while, and it has been working perfectly :)

Hope I helped!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] merwin:
In the HTC Sensation forum there are now several ROMs that address this and unlock the APN, fixing tethering across the board for any app. Apparently there is a tethering specifier in the default APN. The reason Firefox works is probably due to the user agent string it passes.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
thats what happens to everyones phone who unlocked the bootloader
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
I think this doesnt happen from unlocking the bootloader, I think its from flashing recovery. I think the bootloader checks to see if partitions are signed or unsigned when it boots. Because we don't have HTCs key to sign the recovery partition, I think the bootloader is seeing that a partition is missing a signature and then assuming its a development build. Most of the development builds contained unsigned partitions.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ckazn69:
Ok so here's my first contribution to this place so go easy on me. Unfortunately, I was flash the firmware on my razr and didn't charge the battery so it ended failing on me and was stuck in fastboot and was unable to charge my phone. So just like everyone else I was FREAKING OUT. After reading a couple threads on the forum, instead of making a factory cable I went with the route of hotwiring the battery itself. After reading that I shouldn't cut a usb line and hooking that to the battery because of it being 5v and the battery is only 3.8, I remembered I had a charger for my extra batteries for my old N97. The charger itself has an output of 4.2v and 350ma. The nokia battery has a voltage of 3.7 so I made an assumption that if the charger was ok for the nokia battery it should be ok if I hooked it up to the razr battery with no problems of frying the battery. Ok, so here's what I did.... I connected two wires to the charger, one positive, one negative. Then I took the backing off the razr. I then unscrewed the ribbon for the battery and ran the two wires through the holes on the ribbon. After that I taped off the corner of the phone with electrical tape making sure that there wasn't anywhere that the wires might hit and short out, I plugged the charger in and let it sit. There's actually a light on the charger that lets me know if it was charging or not. Blue if not and pink if it was. I left it for about 4-5 hours until it turned blue. Then I re-flashed with RSD Lite. 10 mins later, my phone was back up and running. I know not everyone likes to rip there phone apart but honestly it wasn't all that hard. The backing itself just snaps on and off and there were only the two screws for the battery that I had to undo. Hope this helps out others :D
