[HTC One X] mchu6am4:
I'm a new user of one x and the battery drain is appalling....i charged it full and was just playing around customizing the phone/settings and i could see it was draining one percent every one to two minutes!

I'm coming from sgs2 although it wasn't great but wasn't as bad as this!

Also, following my customisation etc i changed the sim card and all my customized settings such as wallpaper etc reset back to default!:mad:
[HTC One X] Freddy1X:
I, for once was having the same problem..but after one week or two, the battery seems quite stable, and after I played among those beautiful ROMs, I can get the most out of my battery..thank God, I hope you will have the same experience..

Maybe if you wanna stay stock, start to analyze what 'culprit' that actually drained your battery..try using the search bar and use different search terms such as 'battery saving guide' bla bla bla..there are several thread have discussed the same issue..
[HTC One X] mchu6am4:
I am on stock Rom and this is the first full charge after a factory reset although the phone is not brand new but a few months old...
[HTC One X] mchu6am4:
Hi guys..after a few charges it has improved a little but not by much...don't understand why it goes down in 2% increments?

Also i keep hearing random notification type sounds without any notifications...why is this as I'm using stock Rom and unrooted?
[HTC One X] regor_nono:
Try disabling Location & Google Search (Settings -> Location). Noticed that Google services drained 65% of my battery, and heated up the phone. And it only happens when I turn on wifi and update the weather widget, which uses network location service. The drain won't stop until I restarted. Under the services, there's a network location service. So I tried disabling the said setting. Not sure if it will work for you, but it won't harm if you try.
[HTC One X] mchu6am4:
Thanks...i think it may have worked as i didn't hear any notification type sounds!
[HTC One X] Stakkertoo:
...and that's good?

I got 86%. Is that defective or not?
[HTC One X] lupin87:
I got -30mAh when screen is off.

ARHD 7.1.0 + faux 3b10

Is it a acceptable number ?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Well I've been trying to find good tablet launcher but all I can find decent is Nova launcher. Any recommendations? Stock lags a bit when multitasking so looking for something efficient ^_^ and thanks in advance . Hopefully this would be useful to other noob members like myself.

I'm also looking for a good browser that don't force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me

I'm not rooted just FYI I'll be waiting for fully stable CM releases later on ^_^
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] oo3:
I like nova launcher the best, although apex is popular among Galaxy Nexus devs for some reason. But both have the same features like ADW themes, folders and whatnot.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] redjersey:
I'm now using the go launcher hd, it's completely free and it's much, much smoother than the stock launcher.

I have never use nova/apex, what's the major difference between go launcher and nova/apex??
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] linye:
I haven't used go launcher hd but Apex and Nova are like an enhanced stock ICS launcher.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Yup I'm using Nova.. Apex lags when on power saving mode... lol kinda dissapointed my g2x tegra 2 under clocked to 750mhz doesnt lag with apex.. then again custom rom/kernel

Im a bit skeptical on current unlock/roms available ill wait till they get polished to have as daily use ,I dont like to keep updating and changing roms so often.

I'm also looking for a good browser that dont force close and flash videos can fullscreen, so far the only browser that lets me fullscreen flash videos is stock but it lags sometimes and annoys me.

Didnt feel like making new thread for this. Changed thread name also and edited first post
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
I've been using ICS Browser+ the last couple weeks for my browser. Happy with it. Like a modified version of stock browser. Feel it has more customization, more stable and I get fewer wait/force close notifications. Flash works fine with it.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] beddess:
I'm pretty happy with go launcher HD , but haven't tried anything else besides stock.

Dolphin will do flash.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Dolphin was my first choice and it did not do fullscreen flash videos but gota say I'm impressed with icsbrowser+ it simply works and its fast most stable i have seen yet for my tablet

I recommend overskreen it is 2$ but what it does is really nice and worth it for every tablet , it stays on top of any screen or app etc and u can resize it how you want its prety fast toobut it wont handle flash vids fullscreen when needed. Sure most of these browsers will fix that common problem eventually.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Nschneider7:
I honestly just use the stock launcher. I have nova and adw installed but don't really like them. Adw is too much and nova is ok but the ASUS widgets don't look right. That opinion will probably change for me later on. For the browser I really like how chrome shares of everything with my laptop. Thought about giving browser + a look though cause I do like the stock browser. Ics did a good job with everything almost to where the second launchers and browsers aren't really necessary like they were in the 2.2 days.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
I agree after the build.prop mod the stock browser is the best and most stable. As far as the launcher nova and apex for some reason when running on powersaving both launchers kinda lag
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] FriendlyFire:
I've been running with just the stock launcher really, haven't looked into alternative launchers yet.

Been using Dolphin HD for a while since I wanted LastPass integration, but before I did a factory reset (unrelated issues) it'd crash a lot with the latest version, hopefully that was just a random issue. It's fairly good otherwise and LP support through a plugin is very nice.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Dolphin cant handle fullscreen on latest firmware and my stock browser is actually being way faster than any other browser.. I'm honestly astonished by how its performing after the build.prop change. Only browsers that can handle fullscreen right now is stock and ics browser+ ( based on stock)
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] bazzio:
Thanks for the tip! ICS browser + and Browser2ram is a good combination. I don't understand why Asus left out the option for setting the useragent in the standard browser.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
I just installed Browser2ram today. Really pleased with the performance so far.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Zadeis:
Since I'm new to here and just got my Tf300 today... What particular build.prop mod are you referring to? I do plan on rooting this thing soon so knowing what you are talking about would be great :D
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
If you searh the development section you will find it. But be wary as this can brick ur tablet if done wrong, I assure you u will haveno problems if follow steps correctly and keep backup easiest way to do it is after ur rooted , read the thread and understand how it works before u modify anything
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] Zadeis:
Oh I understand the risks since I am coming from the Tab 7.0 Plus forums and have done build.prop modifications myself. I was just curious as to where it was that's all :D
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Browser2ram clears my cache and history every time it gets annoying
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] David Dee:
I find the stock browser very snappy with Seanscreamz build prop modifications and don't feel a need for browser2ram.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] deathskater:
Im completly impressed by boat launcher its fast ,scrolling so smooth, flash plays better than stock browser including fullscreen and it has many options. I have found my replacement to stock and I really recommend it to everyone. Only browser i have fund that truly outperforms stock in every way

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duowing:
Here is a problem I've been having off and on with both my Nexus and my Note. I need to switch to my focus for a while and see if I have the issue with that, but generally when I'm at work where there are many areas where there is little to no signal and sometimes if I'm in that area for a while I'll see my phone switch to No Service. Which is fine, but sometimes too long and it'll just go to Emergency Calls Only mode. There have been many times where it seems like if I'm not in that long enough it will come back out, but for the most part it seems like it will stay in Emergency Calls Only mode until I switch airplane mode on and off. I'm using Franco nightly 180, CM9 2012-06-09 nightly(time to update that soon), and the UGLC1 modem with matching RIL obtained through GetRIL. This is an issue that drives me nuts. As I said my Note was doing this a lot too. It seemed like once I switched to one of the newer ICS modems my Note would always come back from switching into this mode. Nexus it seems to be hit or miss. Any thoughts? I don't know if it's just a sim card issue or not. Also there have been times where I'll be in Emergency Calls Only mode, but the network settings will still show a GPRS connection and the about will show that sometimes I still have the data network connected which I've been able to use.

[Acer Iconia A500] rushless:
Cool! Returned the A510 and will test the 700. My thoughts are the right side will get even hotter and the battery life will be an hour less, but I have been wrong many times before :)

Added. Also expecting N64, PSX and MAME Reloaded to be slower, so will be interesting to compare.

Can we get some sort of description of each file. What're the differences? Install the apks? Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] StephanSch:
For sure you can:

"unlocked" is the original apk with that you can use NFC only while beeing unlocked

"lockscreen" enables the use of NFC while in lockscreen/keyguard

"screenoff+lockscreen" enables the use of NFC while in lockscreen and while the display is off, which I would'nt recommend because of security issues if you think about nfc payments

Installation etc. here:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swagtabulous:
Hi guys.

I just wanted to confirm something regarding the touch light keys(menu and back keys) on the white S3.

When they light up, the surface around them will also have some dim light probably because they're too bright.

Is this normal? Does this happen to all white S3 users?

I attached a photo to make my poor description clearer. :)

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadBob:
turn them off
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_Random:
Yes, happens to all of themthem
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FIVE86:
Yes it happens on mine also.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swagtabulous:
Thanks for the reply. Now I'm relieved. :D

One additional question, does this happen on the blue S3 too?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakariae:
Same here, i just turned them off because you cant miss the buttons. And i think the phone looks better with them off.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMoosa:
It happened on my white one - I call it the halo effect. That's why I swapped to the pebble blue. It doesn't happen on the pebble blue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swagtabulous:
So it doesn't happen on the blue one. :confused:

But I still love my white one, bored of dark colour already although the blue S3 is kinda unique.

And yes I'm gonna turn them off, looks clean and sleek. :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
This is normal. You will also notice that the notification LED will have the same effect e.g. blue LED - whole front of phone will turn blue when the LED is on.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huzz:
Does not happen on the Blue one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svprm:
It's not a problem.

All white models are made in this way.

If you don't like,turn it off.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogoku:
Hello there,

Short story - Looking for a Custom ROM with the ability to control what applications can be installed on an Android device or preferably to ask for an administrator password prior to installing, much like in Administered desktop systems. This is to be used on a large number of company-owned tablets

Thank you for any help or suggestions

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long Story - The company i work for (a large travel & tour agency) is investigating the possibility of providing Tour Bus drivers with Android tablets, which will be used for filling out and submiting (via mobile data) a number of different types of forms

Since the tablets will be connected to the internet via 3G/4G, any downloaded apps will cause data charges by the ISP. This is a major issue as the Tour Bus fleet consists of over 300 vehicles and drivers

For this reason, we were trying to find an app which would control what a user installs on an android device, but from what we have researched, this level of control is not available for Apps, for security reasons (such as malware)

Custom firmware seems to be the only option, if such a firmware exists.

Thank you for any help or suggestions

Like the guy with the One X said in the comments (on the Play Store), how can it work properly if it keeps your device in a constant wake lock? Surely that will eat up your battery and render the "test" useless and then that kills the entire point of the app? :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
i think its your location, if you use 3G you could connect but if you use 2G you cant, it means your location doesn't have that strong 2G signal compared to your 3G signal. better try it on other places like malls coz they got high 2G signal.

Why fix Apn??

They work on 3G??

Unless you will be using a different provider??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] kemaro30:
yeah, just choose GSM and no need to change APN. you just need to change your APN when you change Sim Card because every sim got different APN and our phone only views what APN we added on that certain sim :) hope this helps :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
Sorry....I hope you mean every provider had different APN.....cos SIM's from same provider do not need new APN...just change if you move to another provider with new SIM.

yeah that's what i mean XD we just recognize a "new sim" as a new network provider here in the philippines :) thanks for the clarification, hope we gave a clear solution :)
