Yeah, that may be, but the thing with smartphones (not just android) a multitude of things can run in the background without you knowing. If something prevents the CPU from going into sleep mode all the time, your battery life is gonna suffer.

Check that first. Odds are it's something you installed. In which case, sure, a factory reset can fix the problem but it'll come back once you install that app again.. Get the point? ;)

well,I tried task killers but that didnt work at all,also I would prefer a task killer which will kill all except the most important system apps(home.apk etc)..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Don't use taskkillers at all.

Task killer kills the apps and if these start automatically again, it uses more power.

It is better to leave the app running than closing it and then it starting itself again. Android kills some apps or places them to cache if RAM is needed. Android doesn't work the same like Windows.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC.9:
I was given a HTC dream (G1) just recently I want to update my phone from 1.0 to 2.2 and have no idea how to do so. I was hoping someone could explain the easiest and quickest way to do so.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Best thing to do is search the threads in xda, you will find many guides and many threads with people asking this same question. I recommend a few things. Figure out where you are and where you need to get to. Power on holding the camera button to get into your bootloader, here you will see what radio and spa you have. Holding home with power will bring you to your recovery, as you probably aren't rooted it would be stock.

Google "cyanogen g1 root wiki" here is a simple guide with working links.

Next find ezterry's 2708+ update thread (in developers section here in xda)

Then choose a ROM. Currently I love dorianx's ics theamed froyobylazslo ROM. You will also find this in the developers thread.

Just remember the search button works great, and if you get stuck Google is your friend. Lastly if you truly need your hand held come back and ask and there will be many people here ready to answer questions for people who have done some homework
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC.9:
Firstly I will like to thank you for replying. I have tried searching Google and etc. but not much has really made sense to me. Its the first time im trying to do something like this.. i have tried to use the wiki and got stuck as when i download the Amon recovery it is a zip file and every time i extract it i get an error.

I'm completely new so hopefully you could help me step by step... i would really appreciate it

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Do you the drivers and sdk package yet? Download them from Google for you will need them later. What are you using, Windows? Try the xda wiki and see if it comes in a .img or else look for one of many guides on here. If extracting the .zip won't work
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShortybro:
Rooting for the first time is hard for someone who has never touched his phone, though thanks to this awesome community there are thousands of posts concerning these problems and in my opinion the best wiki there is the CyanogenMod Wiki. wiki.cyanogenmod.com It does simplify it for people who don't know the procedure but another way is to download a app called Universal Androot go check that out I tried that out too and go on further at the CyanogenMod Wiki. Though when it says that you should flash CyanogenMod just pick another ROM like Super F wich is Froyo at its best and if you want to experiment further just try the Fastboot way to get the newest SPL and Radio

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shadowskorch:
Ics is out on Kies for the t-mobile version or for some other country. There is no official ics released for the I777 which is actually kind of shameful for Samsung. If you're desperate, there are many roms based off ics in the development forum.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
I'm having trouble deciding between the galaxy nexus and the evo lte I like sense and want a device with good longevity is there anyone who's thought about this before if so what was your choice?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jumbeemann:
I'm sure there's alot of ppl on here who have had the same question. Theres a few other threads about it, but like others have said I think it all comes down to personal preference because both phones will perform similar. Go play with both of them to make it a little easier
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
The nexus will with out a doubt get jelly bean first. The EVO is the best build quality. It's pesonal choice but for me I will stick to the EVO. I tried nexus before and liked it, but all mods and ROMs where the same. And I hate all that plastic

sent from my EVO LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
this is a tough choice im leaning towards evo right now though is build quality of the evo really as good as people say?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jsonger121:
man with out a doubt go with the evo. i have both and i can tell you right now you will not be disappointed. i love my evo. great UI and outstanding build quality.

but over all its about your personal preference.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
ltevO!!!!! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jgalan14:
Had both and I kept my evo only cause evo has better reception then my galaxy nexus did, but other then that the galaxy nexus is a really good phone IMO cant go wrong with neither, but if you want dates update probably nexus, but if you want a reliable phone for the next two years, both phone will do this, I got rid of mine but I should have kept both ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
There is absolutely no competition here.....

EVO 4G LTE hands down.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
I'm thinking there is a better dev community here with the evo so I'm a little less worried about updates
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pogibry:
I've had the LTEvo for over a week now and all I can say is WOW. Aside from being super smooth with sense and all that jazz, the battery life is just plain nuts. I have yet to see it go below 70% and I leave it on from 7am til 11pm. I use it to browse and play music a good bit, too. Another thing I am waaay impressed with is how fast it turns on and off. I can turn it on and off and on again faster than my HTC Thunderbolt turns on! It also runs the psx emulator a TON better than my tbolt, so I'm happy with my ffix :P Sense 4.0 FTW

In terms of Dev and community support, HTC will always take the cake there. There might be a chance that a new nexus will be release before Jelly Beans comes out, but that's just heresay. I'm also under the opinion that google will be shifting a lot of there goodies to Motorola phones now since they bought it out.

P.S.- the camera is by far the best one I have seen, although I'm sure there will be people that say they've seen better on other phones, but meh.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Product F(RED):
The last phone I owned on Sprint was the Galaxy Nexus (switched to Straight Talk on an international GS3). I would say go for the Evo 4G LTE. The "awesomness of a stock experience" wears off pretty quickly. Sense 4.0 adds features and isn't as bloated as previous versions. More importantly, the SLCD2 screen is much sharper than the SAMOLED Plus screen on the Nexus, and the Nexus is running last year's features and noticeably lags.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
Stock can also be on an unlocked rooted evo so is there really a big difference between the nexus?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geniustheanimal:
Definitely go with the LTEvo. I was in the same boat as you, and was completely torn between the Gnex and the Evo. I had previously owned the OG Evo, and the Evo 3D, and while of course interested in the LTEvo, I was enticed by the sexy look of the Gnex, the pure AOSP, and the immediate updates from Google. I played with the Gnex for a while, but the moment I held the LTEvo in my hands I knew it was no contest.

Build quality is way better, screen is the best I'd ever seen on a phone, expandable storage, larger battery, improved radios...it's a beast. And the dev community is steadily growing, especially since the phone has only been out to the general public for about 3 weeks. There's a largely functional CM9 ROM already (capable of being a daily, depending on your needs, as it's only really missing MMS, multitouch, camcorder) if you crave AOSP, and I'm sure we won't be that far behind the curve in terms of getting JB.

The Gnex is a great phone, dont get me wrong, and not many people who've gotten a Nexus phone have ever really regretted it. But it's age is starting to show, and at this point, the LTEvo is definitely going to last longer technologically speaking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
The Gnex has the best development community right now. But yes, the Evo is good too. Just not better.

To OP, if you want updates first without waiting and worrying, get the Nexus. If you want Sense and better specs, get the Evo. We'll have our devs give us JB before HTC does, at least.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Product F(RED):
Significantly better specs, at that. After a while, software doesn't matter if the hardware is behind. Oh and also, the Nexus has TERRIBLE terrible camera, especially compared to the Evo. When I say terrible, I mean even my Sony Ericsson W580i took better pictures, I'm not exaggerating.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
I'm convinced now I'm gona get the evo if I don't like it ill use the 30 return policy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
True, but I would argue that this phone stock, Sense and all, runs about as smooth as the Gnex does stock as well. The spec difference is kind of less obvious due to Sense. Running stock ICS on this phone would really show the difference. Gaming as well. But as someone who does not game that much on a cellphone, I would say that the difference in power between the two, while admittedly large, isn't as huge when it comes to non-gaming performance, thanks to Sense.

This phone is still much better though. Even if someone doesn't completely understand how much more powerful it is, anyone can see that this phone can run something as heavy as Sense as smooth as the Gnex runs stock ICS.

Tl;dr: I agree with you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gogjhan:
My amaze is automaticaly shuting down,and before shut down its showing 48% battery life,it is automatically restarting and showing 4% then after 1 hour its restarting one more time and showing 16% ,,, i cant understand what it is,,,and i have changes rom,from off to custum,its not helpeing ,now i am in energy stock rom,,,how can you help me,what can i do?!does it battery problem,or calibration ??!?!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
I have a similar problem. My phone randomly turns off/restarts. Afterwards, my battery icon turns gray for a few minutes. When it comes back, it drops by ~10-20%.

This actually happened to me before several months back. Last time, I called HTC and they gave me a new battery. That worked for a couple of months, but now it's back. I'm currently working with HTC tech support to get it figured out.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gogjhan:
yes the same,,,when i bought it has that problem,but after one month it fixed,,,now after 5 months it begins and i cant fixed and i ma really getting nervous of it!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:

[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
Quite a few people have problems with stock batteries. I encounter the same problems regardless what ROM I'm running. I bought a couple Anker 1900 mAh batteries and will report back.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
You need a new battery, but you can try draining the battery all the way down to the point that the device can't even come on, then it charge it over night all the way back up. See if that helps, it tends to help with this battery issue.
[HTC Amaze 4G] invisiblefire101:
Ido I have the same prob but I was thinking how about resetting battery stats in recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] shuvarts:
I am so relived to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Let me tell you guys my experience with up to 3 batteries, various roms, and weeks of googling...

So basically, changing battery do fix the problem; but only temporarily. It can fix the problem for about a couple weeks or months, but the problem will come back anyway. I am on my third battery now and switching between the batteries; so, I am pretty sure that it is only a temporary fix. Cycling between the three battery sometimes is pretty helpful (but again, it is just a temporary fix).

Another way to fix it temporarily that works pretty well for me is to take out the battery, wait for about 5 seconds, and turn on the phone again. It only fix the problem for about a couple days though; so, might as well switch battery if you got another battery.

Another possibility to fix it without playing with the battery, you can try factory reset or install another custom rom. It sometimes helps also, but a pain if you are not the type that likes to try different roms.

Lastly, the better and simpler fix is to reboot to recovery, wipe all caches and dalvik, fix permissions, and reboot again. This can fix the problem (but only temporary).

Out of those four tries, I find that swapping battery or full wipe / install

Custom rom tends to fix the problem for a longer time. I haven't been able to find any permanent fox for the random shutdown yet. But, I hope those information helps for anyone who have the same problem ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] gogjhan:
its not helping i have tried 3 times before writhin here.... (
[HTC Amaze 4G] sedrader:
The draining battery does work. Just turn EVERYTHING on to drain it (brightness, GPS, bluetooth etc.) and watch some videos to drain it down all the way. After this do a mini power cycle (pull battery wait awhile, put it back, then leave it charging for at least 10 hours).

This solved the problem for me
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Exactly, worked for me and quite a few others, I've tested it myself when I had bought my second device used, it came with this very issue, I killed what was left of it and let it charge over night, it's been remarkable ever since, but different folks different strokes, the next best thing to do is to change the battery since that solved it for others. And for the record, the oem battery is the best to replace it with since some anker batteries have only made it worse for some.
[HTC Amaze 4G] b33j7030:
getting my newly acquired Amaze device in a couple of days and will see if i run into this issue... god hope not lol... if battery issue does occur - will follow thru the full batt drain solution (mentioned above).
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
10 hrs tho?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I don't know about 10 hrs, I just put mine to charge when I went to bed, was perfectly fine and back to normal, fully charged when I woke.
[HTC Amaze 4G] kenypowa:
What batteries did you use?
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
I have this problem too, it annoys me every dam day, if I get rid of this phone any time soon it'll be just because of that :/
[HTC Amaze 4G] fcpelayo:
Get a new stock battery should fix your problem for while
[HTC Amaze 4G] justin0025:
I'm having this issue as well. My phone would randomly just shut off on me while using it at say, 75%, then turn off. When I boot it back on, it drops to around 50% or so.

Does the battery drain fix truely work? My girlfriends phone does the same (its an acer though).
[HTC Amaze 4G] CMB350:
I have my stock battery and 2 Ankers. The phone will randomly die with any of the batteries. The battery drain trick seems to work okay, but it certainly isn't a "fix" IMO.

I drained my stock battery last weekend and charged it to 100% on the Anker charger. Worked great down to 10% on Sunday. Charged the phone to 100% on the nightstand, while I slept Sunday night. Phone randomly shutoff at ~25% at work on Monday. Had similar results with the two Anker batteries too.

So, I just bought a galaxy nexus UK international unlocked version. It has 5 pins on the sim reader and only reads Simple Mobile sims, doesnt read Straight Talk, AT&T and T-Mobile.

I am the seller and got two different answers. The first person I spoke to said it only had 5 and said they would send a user manual that showed that. When I didn't receive the manual, I called back. The second person I spoke to said he would take a picture and send it to me. Here it is.
