[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoMati:
From what I've tested OC-rom has a better battery saving capabilites. I tested OC for about 4-5 month and I am testing AOKP from 5 days but the difference is noticeable. Maybe it's because of darker colors (so maybe my screen brightness is a little higher, it's hard to measure now) or something else but it results on hour-to-three differences in usage (ICS has it's own clock so I can check it). It always depends on person, but for me it's on Overcome favor, when it comes to battery.

As I said, it may be only my opinion.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Well after playing with the galaxy note i bought for my gf a few days ago, i decided i couldn't take it any longer so i went to phones 4 u and asked what they could do for me. They have paid what i had left on my contract 7 months early for me and given me a galaxy s2 for free on a £20.50 p/m orange contract.

Not a bad deal i don't think.:D

I'll still pop in every now and then though as i still have a wildfire at home and dont want to get rid of my introduction to android, thanks to everyone that has shared anything i used and for teaching me how to get the best out of my phone.
[Wildfire General] apollopayne:
cool good choice

see you in the sg2 section
[Wildfire General] Justice™:
-sniff

This section will miss you and all your threads and help. Good luck with your GS2.
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Mate, that was quick lol. The itch took over quicker than i expected. Sg2 is prob my realistic expectation too and for about the same £pm but on 3. Keep in touch mucca and all the best with the new toy. Its gonna be like losing an arm :(
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
I was just about to post another thread but oh well :)

Yesterday I received my HTC One S on contracts, 25.92 p/m for 12 months, 260 or something upfront.(:D) I've always loved Willy, he is the best legend to date and I don't think I can sell him :(

Being with Willy has been a rollercoaster, I learnt about rooting through it, my first two roots were with two Wildfires. I couldn't take Sense anymore, so I got CM7, and then eventually we got CM9!! (Well done to Erwin, if I can find his donation link I will most definitely donate) :D

I'll still hang around on the CM9 thread and a few others, though now I'll mostly post on the One S forums, hope to see you guys there :)

Here goes another valuable member from the wildfire forum.

BTW maybe you'll see me soon in the SGS2 forum.

If not then I'll go for a galaxy note (I like big screens :D)
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Thanks everyone and Congrats on the one s mate, hope you enjoy it as much as i am the s2. I thought id wait a little while before rooting but ended up rooting it today, its a bit confusing reading all the info but i ended up doing it in 3 and a half minutes without even touching my pc........:eek:

First flashed temp cwm from stock recovery, then flashed supersu to get root, after that boot into recovery and flashed siyah kernel. Full cwm, root and plenty of tweaks to play with. Just need to decide on a Rom now.

Oh...... The note is a real beast of a phone, hope you have big hands our lass doesn't.:rolleyes:
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
Thanks everyone and scratch, I haven't managed to root mine yet - we don't have Revolutionary yet, and I'm scared if I root it using HTCDev they won't take my phone in for service if I ever need it. And there aren't many ROMs, most are Sense 4.0 based, except for the Alpha 10 CM9 port! :D

[Wildfire General] androidino95:
Gl with your new phone, i ditched one s because they are not shipping it with krait here and are using piece of crap s3 instead.

Really crappy move from htc.

Now i dont know which one to get, plastic fantastic samsung is not for me, all others either, so that only leaves me with htc. They ruined a perfect phone.

Here's one from me :beer:
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Thanks man, did you get the hang of cmd earlier? If not pm me again and I'll try to explain it better.
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
Thanks ;)

Don't forget, you're the one that brought MIUI GB and tried really hard on the SIM unlock for the Wildfire thread ;)
[Wildfire General] usaff22:
Where do you live? The One S is starting to ship in some other European countries but the UK is luckily not one of them! :eek:

You can visit the store and ask to try the phone out before you buy it; if it is an Adreno 220 S3 (Ville C) don't buy it but if it is a Ville, Adreno 225 S4, go for it ;)
[Wildfire General] androidino95:
i'm from croatia, and, i know the details, s3 version is z560e, s4 is z520e, i asked the provider, all are 560 ones. i must order from germany or some other foreign country, but if i do, it's gonna cost ****load so i think i'm just gonna buy something cheaper, all dualcores are cheap now, but i really liked the one s because of the krait. i played with hella lot of samdungs and they all feel like TOYS! my wildfire feels 10x more premium.

FU HTC :mad: !
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
the sim unlock i can lay claim to :p but the MIUI GB i cannot :( unless of course you were talking about scratch:confused: lol it amazes me sometimes how you can feel like your thread is going unnoticed but then people remember your name and regard you highly when they are commenting elsewhere :D makes me smile to know im helping people out. even if we did fail in the end :o
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Lol I had nothing to do with porting miui, all I did was figure out how to use it a bit better, theme wise and try to answer peoples problems.

Also have to say I'm loving the new phone and would recommend it to anyone. This and the note are both truly awesome phones, great dev support and some amazing tweaks. Cm9 roms run like a dream and I'd encourage everyone to hurry up and get an upgrade.......... ;)
[Wildfire General] Takudenatsu:
I really need to upgrade, I've had my Wildfire since the days of Eclair and that was one of the best experiences I've had with phones! Scratch has done soo much for our little phone, he deserves a medal or something ;)

congrats sir!
[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
Sorry to see you go scratch, you've always been there for me when we was porting MIUI GB over and helping out in your spare time you are a true legend mate.

If it wasn't for you i wouldn't be breaking roms (sorry i mean porting roms) like i have.

Hope the Galaxy S2 does you well, i for sure need a new phone but some reason don't know why but my buzz just keeps pulling a gun to my head saying DONT DO IT PAL. LOL

Hope we don't loose contact though mate enjoy.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Thanks a lot, the s2 forum is hectic, every time I look there's a new topic/post but i kinda like the chilled relaxed pace of this forum more.

I felt the same way hack, I loved using the buzz but after the girlfriend got a gnote it opened my eyes to whole new world with a gpu and high res and I couldn't wait any longer.

As for the phone, yes its a bit plastic and cheap feeling but I would recommend one to anybody, dev support is awesome there's a huge choice of roms/mods available and although some say this phone is outdated now s3 is out I strongly disagree there's more than enough hardware in it (its nearly more powerful than my PC:eek:) and support to keep this phone going for a long time yet.

I'm still getting to grips with how everything works on it and testing a few different roms before I settle on one for my daily rom.

[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
:( had a big big scare yesterday, all the lights,tv everything flickered on and off at my house for about 20 seconds. The phone was plugged in at the side of my chair, i noticed it started blinking on and off so i unplugged the charger took out the battery and rebooted it, it said it was charging even though it wasnt plugged in:confused: i decided to use odin to flash the stock firmware for the first time ever:what: but my computer wouldn't even detect the phone. I checked the usb cables connector and it was scorched so my guess was the cable had burnt out and taken the usb port with it during the power surge, solar flare, emp bomb or whatever it was........

Went to sleep thinking im going to have to either pay for a new usb port to be fitted or get my soldering iron out and have a crack at it myself but woke up this morning and did some googling, found mobile odin which worked a treat first time. I'm now back on stock software with no trace of it being rooted which means i can claim warranty.....:D crisis averted and am going to the shop soon to swap the phone for a new one........:D
[Wildfire General] Slymobi:
Woooops,sounds like it was a close call that.glad you got it back to stock and goodluck with your new new phone :)

life is just a bollock kicker
[Wildfire General] hacktrix2006:
Thats bad scratch mate, but its great you managed to get it back to stock though. Hope your ok though.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
All good now, they swapped it straightaway. They didn't check much on it either i probs could have got away with just editing the build.prop and installing a touchwiz launcher......:rolleyes:

Hi, Zune won´t connect my LUMIA 800. I´ve tried the official microsoft solutions and the other all over the internet. So I´ve deleted drivers and Zune, deleted everything including word "Lumia" or "Zune" from registry and tried it again. Won´t solved. So I´ve set up a new user account on Windows 7 and it works there, so the problem is not in phone or Zune version but it must be in registry. Is there any way to make Zune connect Lumia?

Make sure you have the drivers installed, USB Debugging to On.

After, use root explorer or file manager to set system To RW.

There are other methods like Blackthund3r's root. But this works for me.
[Acer Iconia A500] danny1903:
Thanks I will try that out
[Acer Iconia A500] danny1903:
the link had nothing to do with rooting it was about overclocking

Yeah...I was wondering the same thing...I haven't tried blackthund3rs method yet, but the Simple version didn't work.

Odd thing was it completed, and said it was done...but when I installed Titanium BU, it said no root access. I installed Term Emulator as well, and this confirmed no Root access...yet

I'll give it a try later, but am still searching for a method that works on OTA ICS build # 1.033.00_PA_CUS1

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Has anyone found any on Ebay or else where that have maintained true NFC functionality?

I've seen a few on Ebay but the labeling is so "China town," I don't know if I trust them.

(no offense to any Chinese :o)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Southern_mind:
Did you try Amazon? I think Seidio makes some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d11dog11:
If you want extended look for Hyperion brand. Got it on eBay for $20 and the nfc works great. Battery life more than doubled too. Well worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
The most reliable battery makers are

Seidio

Mugen

Both have 3800 - 4000mAH batteries available with NFC support. Will cost ~$90 though.

Do NOT get the cheap-o batteries selling on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Seidio or Mugen don't use any better of a battery than most of the cheap ones. You are just paying for a name and false security.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matika:
Those battery are also made in China. You just pay more for their brand.

And those two brand don't even have their own factory.

I just got my 4000 mah battery with NFC for 10USD. It also works well.

And of course, they're made in China.

Hyperion review

Just got this that arrived yesterday morning:

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...APABILITIES/dp/B007C8XRJY/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones, after reading reviews, because the cover that came with my snapped right on, with no problem whatsoever. I started fitting it at the bottom and worked my way around snapping the clips in and wala - perfect fit.

I also bought this cover:

http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Exte...ompatible/dp/B0083HHU5A/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_2

It's black/honeycombed and fits perfectly over the new back, giving the whole phone a factory made look. The only "negative" to it, is the volume buttons and the on/off buttons are now alot more sensitive - the cover goes over them and it doesn't take much now to depress one of the buttons - I'm actually liking it more, as I get used to it, but I imagine you could carve the rubber off at the buttons with a knife if it bothered anyone.

Anyway, after reading the little card that comes with it and the "charge it for 12 hours, kill it 4 or 5 times cycling" - I plugged it in and after about 2 hrs, it was saying fully charged. I needed to use my phone, so I turned it on - made a couple phone calls with it and decided just to use it. I read cycling doesn't matter with a Li battery anyway, and I was just excited to see if this thing was for real.

It's 10:43 the next morning - my battery has 19% left on it and it has been on the battery for 18hrs, 8mins when I unplugged it yesterday!!! I am a heavy user too - all throughout yesterday, played a few games, many visits to facebook, web surfing texting, 10 or so short phone calls - then again this morning, surfing the web for a good 1.5-2hrs gathering news.

All I can say, is this is unheard of - I've NEVER been able to do this on the stock battery. I'm going to run this all the way down today, so I'll post back when it actually shuts down, but it's for real folks - order it! I'm thinking about ordering another one for backup - I'll only have to charge once a week!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
In this case, quality matters. I've already researched the differences. You won't be getting as good battery life as the one's from Seidio or Mugen. Please do the research before saying such things, as you're misleading others.

It's already been confirmed that the cheap Ebay batteries are of low quality.

Just because it's Made in China, doesn't reflect the quality of the build. Seriously? Everything is made in China...

Look through the posts on this forum about the ebay batteries. Almost everyone says they found barely a difference with extended battery.

Please check out this thread: People that bought the cheapo ebay batteries say the quality was terrible.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
If you read correctly I said most of the Chinese batteries. My statement still stands. You are paying for a name and false sense of security.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aohus:
Your statement doesn't stand. You're insinuating that the cheap-o Ebay batteries are just as good as the Branded Seidio / Mugen batteries, when that is clearly not the case.

Shifting the goal posts aren't ya. Seriously, stop spreading misinformation. I gave you at least 3 sources from various forum members that concurred the battery life discrepancy is vastly different between the generic and branded ones. (Mugen/Seidio)

Did you provide a source showing that the generic ones off of eBay have as good or better quality than the branded ones? Looks like no.

I have sources to back my claim up, you have, well, none.

example of a bad battery (trexcell)

and FYI, Seidio uses battery cells made from Japan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Regulus49001:

Yeah yeah, mod this kernel and underclock/volt that kernal and "I can get that on stock"...well I can't:confused:. I like the bigger battery as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodk1:
Went 24.5 hrs before it gave up and shut down - recharged to 100% in about 2 hrs and I'm at 14 hrs running with 66% left - I'm loving this! And as mentioned, I'm preferring the bigger battery/weight feel in my hand, then before. Maybe Samsung should make their phones with bigger batteries and heavier!..lol.

Hi,

I installed the software from Alcatel's site on my windows 7 32bit, and then I let One Touch Upgrade work last night. I woke up just now and I noticed that it's still working. That means that it's been working for well over six hours. Is this normal? I'm starting to get a bit worried.

The phone looks shut down, with the lights on for Options, Search, and Back buttons. I don't want to touch it and cause any more damage, but I'm not sure if the damage has already been done.

I can't see quite what is the percentage on the installer, it got kinda smeared from the apps I was currently using, but I think that it's still working, it's responsive.

What I remember from last night, it was really slow in terms of completing the procedure, like 22%... 23%.... 24%.... for over an hour.

I did rooted it, but that's it, wasn't changing ROM or doing anything really, not yet at least.

I don't know what to do :C

Some help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance and cheers!

edit: Oh, and just to add, I went and observed the net traffic that was made during the last 10 hours. I was amazed - it downloaded less than 100 MB and uploaded more than 300 MB! Why would this software do that? Also, the download rate is really bad, dunno why, I have 6 Mbit/s connection.

I am very confused right now. Please help.
