yeah vishal.. Dunno wat happened last few days fones acting weird.. the battery charger sometyms connects, sometimes doesnt.. like rite nw, i flashed pit file to go back to stock kernel firmware.. But now odin doesnt recognise d phone.. I'm totally stuck..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Sometimes it hapeens with me also. Try to change computer port. Most of the time it has solved my problem. Today I am testing my battery life. I am totally surprised when I saw that I am getting nearly 18+ hrs of battery life :D :D I will post screenshots later. I come to an interesting conclusion which I will post with screenshots.

vishal, activate ur 2g net plan.. if ur mobile comes in range of a 3g tower, it'll use d 3g network.. dats hw o use it.. u can even do vdo calls wid ur plain old 2g sim card, once u come under range of a 3g tower.. just make sure, ur connection is in automode...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Unfortunately in our india it never happens buddy. I will tell u one simple example. In maharashtra airtel has 2g net pack for 99 Rs with 2 gb net. Now if I am in 3g network then it can't use that 3g network no matter whatever u do. Phone is just locked at 2g network for gprs.

But wiered thing is that if suppose u recharge ur airtel card with 3g net pack of 400 Rs for which u get 2 gb data then u can use 3g net hi-speed in 3g network area & also if 3g is not available then u will get 2g net with slow speed in 2g network area.

Conclusion is that if anyone having cheaper 2g net pack & he is getting 3g data transmission speed in 3g network then why would anyone will recharge costly 3g plan...??? Then in such case 3g net pack will be useless. It is as simple as that ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
These are my today's battery backup screenshots. I know will become really suprprised. Battery backup is 19+ hrs :D:D

Now u will become more shocked when u will observe these screenshots. Observe carefully battery % compare wirh above screenshots. In above screenshots its 1% while in below screenshots its 2%. Actually when I took screenshots with 1% then I kept phone aside with screenoff without doing anything. But when I observed after 1/2 hour my battery increased by 1%. Really wiered. But I have observed many times this but everytime I ignored. But today I purposefully noted down.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] neojith:
I'm using BSNL sim... for Rs 89, 2gb per month.. Wen under 3g tower, download speeds of 30 kbps.. in edge, 11-13 kbps...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] arindammanidas:
Same here.... :D BSNL Rs.98 for 2GB .... 128 kbps in UMTS mode...

U can also try Aircel... they're giving 1 GB full 3G for Rs. 198...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] shriom_manerker:
heres what vodafone does :D 2g speeds 10-40 kbps (yes i actually got 40 early inthe morning at 8 am today :P ) and on 3g.. get this.. i get 3.75 mbps constant with75 ms ping :D thats like 4x my bsnl broadband plan lol plus they came up with a new plan per day basis 4 rs for 20 mb of 3g data which is actually useeless since ur geting 3.7 mbps LOL and 1 gb is 250 i think per month :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
Actually its bsnl's server bug which is benefitial to us. In early stage of 3g tata docomo was also giving 3g with with cheaper 2g plan. But when they come to know then they made changes in server so now u will not get 3g speed anywhere in maharashtra in case of airtel, tata docomo, vodafone, aircel, reliance. I use reliance 3gb net with 99 rs. Usually I get 22 to 30 kbps. We are really OT now.

Anyway I come fo conclusion thst if I use my phone continuously with 2g net then definitely it drains battery alot. But other than that battery backup of my phone more than average :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ggclanlord:
Dont go on the 10 hours number.

See how much time your phone has been awake. Use CPU Spy or BetterBatteryStats to find that.

And compare Screen On time and Phone Awake time. If awake time is very much higher than screen on time, then something's wrong. Otherwise you're fine.

10 hours number actually depends on phone usage which is user specific. So never compare that.

I once got 4 days with 3g on all the time, because i had hardly used the phone.

So check the Awake time. And post BetterBatteryStats log too.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I used better battery stat like u said. Log is attached with this post. Today I charged my phone to 100% & kept aside. After 1.30 hrs I checked phone & I was surprised when I saw that battery drained by 5% & battery status reached to 95%. Means 5% battery drain in just 1.30 hrs :(

Also very important thing I forgot to tell u guys that one month ago I flashed kp3 modem over my stock kpq rom. And I am still using it. Is battery drain because of that???

If anybody is kind enough then please upload the stock kpq modem file. I want to flash it & want to check battery backup with it.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] XDA_Bam:
That stats say "No or Unknown Signal" for the whole time. Don't know if that's a bug of the appp, or you really had no signal / were in airplane mode. The rest looks fine to me.

However, you shouldn't take the measurement too serious, as reading the percentage is very unreliable. Just stop worrying about this - your phone is fine! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
Just a small question related to signals and battery life, i have a Qtel sim from Qatar (international), and i am currently in Tunisia, the signal here became horrible, it would go no signal every 4 minutes, I don't want to remove the card yet, but will this cause any noticeable battery drain? I can't decide myself since i just came in yesterday and the phone is nearly full.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
I never use phone in airplane mode. May be its due to kp3 modem I am using it over kpq. But I am not sure about it.

I hope someone will upload kpq modem here for me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] loSconosciuto:
If you have the PDA of KPQ, you can simply open the tar.md5 and then extract "modem.bin" from it.

Then flash it with odin using the modem field.

I only have a 4 files KPQ (like KPE), so here the tar.md5 for the modem:

MODEM_I9003XXKPQ_REV_00_CL1076353.tar.md5

Anyway modems are ROM independent, so there shouldn't be any incompatibility with your ROM that could cause a higher battery drain, but I'm not sure.

(5% each 1.30h?!?!? I'm happy when I see 10% per hour)

As far as I know yes. If you are using 3G/2G try to switch to 2G, usually the 2G coverage is better.

Maybe see if this can help. Use Google to find more informations about this prop:

ro.mot.eri.losalert.delay

I've never used it, tried it and I'm not sure if it does what I think it does, so I'll give you only its name :p

Smartphone Or Dumbphone???

Really now I am fedup with android battery management. I have never seen such a smartphone acting so wiered.

I have observed one wiered thing almost on all GB roms. I always do battery calibration for accurate battery drain. So I always charge my phone to 100% & everytime I allow my phone to drain to 0%.

But whenever I charge my 100% & I use contineously so that battery drain upto 20% say by playing games, surfing net via oera etc. When battery reaches to 20% then I just keep my phone aside on standby mode by closing all apps, turning off data connection etc. But after that when I look my phone nearly after 8 hrs then battery shows nearly min 25% to max 30%. Why??? How battery increases by itself upto 5% to 10% over night...?? As a smartphone phone should be smart enough to correct battery status. But android OS never shows correct battery status most of the time. After restart battery status drops by 10% to 20% frequently.

Why battery drain is not constatnt & accurate as per our usage??? I have been user of nokia symbian phone from nearly 4 years. I have never experienced such stupid problem ever on nokia symbian smartphone.

Really android is a smartphone or a dumbphone???
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jamsori:
This is a mixture between how Android calculates battery usage and Samsung battery values. When you're using the phone, the battery voltage goes down due to CPU, GPU etc. usage. When idling, the battery is less drained continuously due to this and the voltage changes, and it is reflected in the battery %'age.

hillbeast wrote about it in the Galaxy 5 section i believe, since they had similar patterns.

They're both smartphones... they just have different processes for doing things.

From friends comments and experiences, the battery life is just the same doing the same tasks between Android and Nokia.

Oh, and constantly draining the battery to 0% and fully charging it isn't healthy for the battery, i believe. Only do that once or twice a month at best...

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
Why don't you just install an alternative keyboard? I personally use Swype and find it indispensable. But in the off-chance that your alternative keyboard behaves wonky, you'll have the default keyboard to fall back on.

If you really hate, why don't you freeze it in Titanium Backup?

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtacy!:
I'm sure it's just a mix up. Perhaps you're not setting it as your default keyboard?

I still advise that you don't delete the default keyboard and just freeze it in TB if it bugs you that much.

Under TB, it's listed as Xperia™ Keyboard.

Hi when I first got my nexus she looked lovely..screen protector was on...no bubbles nothing

Flip to today I've gone through two and they look crap

Any tips lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] themassofthesun:
Quality seen protectors. I'm personally a fan of xoskins, best on the market imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Tip of getting them up good...

Run a hot shower in your bathroom and steam up the room. The steam will remove all the dust particles in the air which is the cause for bubbles that cannot be removed.

Then apply the protector. I usually pull just the back off a little at the top. Line it up and scroll down with a credit card to the bottom. If you still have bubbles just work them out pushing them to the side, top or bottom of the device. As long as there is no dirt or dust under the skin you will be able to get rid of them.

I always use the dry application protectors. I find that they always leave a weird film on the screen. You can really see what I am talking about when you remove one of these from you phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
Some might say a tip would be to not use one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Some might reply to that tip and say they should read about what happens to unprotected screens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phatmanxxl:
Put it on outside you wont get dust under it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brunswick000:
While I did just start another thread complaining about ZAGG type screen/body protectors I will admit that certain ones offer excellent screen protection. Extreme Guard can be had on Ebay for about $5 for most phones, Nexus included and they're awesome. Very low smudge, and fingerprints. They're cut well and despite the pain of wet install screen protectors they are much easier to install than body protectors. I would recommend them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Do tell.

What happens to unprotected screens? I've had my Nexus since Jan. with no screen protector. It attracts finger prints but that's not a problem when you have micro fiber cloth (or your pant leg).

I'm not damage prone so to each his own, I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arknailed7754:
Tried the steam method etc.worked a treat. No bubbles.didn't do the shower though waste water lol.was having a coffee so held it a metre above the kettle and it worked fine. Only for 5 seconds or so ..don't want to damage her!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Or get a reusable screen protector.

I had the Boxwave one, i'm able to remove dust by using some tape and time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] username235:
Realook screen protectors. They're awesome. I have them on my Rezound, and they'll definitely be on the nexus when I get it too. I went to Florida the other day, had my phone in a bag on the beach, and of course sand gets everywhere, and scraped up the screen protector pretty good. Not a single mark on the actual screen though. Plus it feels almost exactly like the glass on the phone.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SovereigN7:
No screen protector is perfect so far. The only two I'd recommend are XO, and Martin Fields. XO is a wet application with a rubbery feeling. You might be irritated with the feeling, if so get Martin Fields. Martin Fields are dry app and matte finished, however it conducts fingerprint and oil like magnets. I went with Martin Fields. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedBlueGreen:
Where abouts are you in the UK?

I have an unwanted XOSkin screen protector for the GNex. Its the one that goes to the screen edge.

Ill sell it for the price they are selling it for.. You save on postage... although if your too far away then nevermind :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arknailed7754:
How much are they?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cameron_S:
My martin fields is a glossy finish, didn't know they had two different versions.

I would say Martin Fields has the best fit and finish. I have always had better luck with the dry application protectors. The wet applied ones always have a strange uneven surface that always looks like crap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SefEXE:
I've actually had one on there, just removed it recently.

I don't care either way really. Pretty careful with it, but I don't mind the extra protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chaotic Peace:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
there is a 50% off code, check the thread. comes to a little under $10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
This is the right way to do it.

The static from what you're peeling off gets rid of any lint that will end up on your screen, which reduces bubbles. I didn't believe it until I got a perfect application a few days ago. This was with a really cheap screen protector too (I ended up taking it off, it got scratched in like a day...lol).

Also...you can tape some handles on the screen protector to avoid your hands actually touching the sticky side. This is key, IMO. Any time you touch the side, you are at risk for lint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
I just recently put on an invisible shield... i dropped my phone shortly after. Now there are two thin cracks on the phone. Very straight and thin. I cant tell if its a screen crack (i think it is) or just a defect in the screen protector (i hope it is). Aghhhh
