[Motorola Droid 4] zPacKRat:
That's what I noticed as well. Have had mine for a few days now and no change in behavior. Just poor calibration that I hope gets fixed in the release version.

On the other hand my Amaze 4G stays at 100 percent for a couple of hours.
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
is this only in ICS? because i use a battery widget from the market (the one where it shows the android dude with the % in him) and i have allways had this widget for almost every android phone i have ever had (i had alot lol) just seems really weird that it goes by 10s now
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
That's just how moto designs their stock ROMs for some reason. Battery reports in 10% increments. If you install a custom ROM like CM9 it reports in 1% increments. It's a minor annoyance in my opinion but annoying all the same.

[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
soo should i been worried if it only took a hour to get from 100% to 60%? all i been doing on it is been editing contacts and freezing apps
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
My first day on ICS it seemed like my battery dropped pretty quick too. It has gotten a lot better since then. I think maybe it just takes a day or two for the phone/battery to calibrate itself properly.

[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
Most widgets (Battery Monitor Widget in particular) have an option to report in % increments. This is because Moto's stock ROM actually reads the battery life in 1% intervals, but only reports it in 10s. They do it this way to give the illusion of better battery life (this is not unique to Moto, lots of companies do crazy things with their battery indicators to do the same).
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
Also noticed something weird when I move the screen like going down a page in a browser or through my settings while,moving up or down the screen makes everything blurry is it suppose to do this? On my stratosphere it did not do this and all the colors seem washed out... does stratosphere have a better screen?
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
so i really think the battery should not be this bad i charged my phone to 100% and took it off the charger at 6:45AM and by 7:30AM it was at 30% already and all i did was send 3 text messages and made a 3min phone call...

called verizon and they are sending me a different one on tue
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
Yes. The "blurring during vertical scroll" is a reported "feature" of the D4's pentile display. There was much griping in this forum early in the D4's release history about that. It seems that we've mostly gotten used to it, although it still bugs me a bit when I notice it. OTOH, I believe the pentile display is better in sunlight (for instance, compared to the Samsung Stratosphere, since you mention it... my wife's using one of those, and I can use my D4 outdoors in lighting that completely washer her display out.)
[Motorola Droid 4] icebear8:
so just got my 2nd droid 4 as the first one had a broken Volume down button and the battery was not lasting more then hour.

got everything all set up and installed ICS .213 and now the data keeps dropping every 10 mins or so and been doing it all day with this phone (and everytime i am on the phone and when i hang up my service will disconnect and have to put it in airplane mode =/ ) guess its time to see if they will send me another phone (so far went through 2 stratospheres and 2 droids)

don't know if this means anything but when i called to replace my phone the tier 2 tech guy told me that on some droid 4's they have a data problem and there is a update for it coming at the end of july, i asked if it was 4.0 and he said yes but he cant tell me what day but said it was the end of july
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyDazza:
I have the photos & video widget on my homescreen & noticed a paramount logo video there.

Knew I hadn't put any movies on phone recently, clicked on it & low & behold, a trailer for spider man, I quite high definition (I'm guessing my bandwidth has been used to download it).

Just now another video clip appeared.

This time a commercial for Dorito's.

Checked in my gallery & there's a folder titled 'videos' with the above commercials & a couple more for what looks like a video & mobile games.

There must be an app I've installed downloading these videos but I've no idea what.

Anyone else had this?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyDazza:
Using Astro, I found the folder containing the videos.

Folder on SD root titled Tapjoy.

Doing a file search for Tapjoy showed no other entries & no apps that Ive recently downloaded reference Tapjoy either.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Is there a simple way to do this? All the black themes on the market have horrible looking app icons to me. I just want all my apps to look normal just the color being changed to black. I want to do this cause it saves battery :). Kinda like how the black widow rom looks but I want that on stock :P btw I'm running .211 ics. The only reason I don't want the BW is cause I had a ton of data issues last time I tried it
[Acer Iconia A500] robbbzilla:
I need to connect my laptop to my wifi network and forgot the long wep key. I have my Acer a500 connected now but I can't find or access the wep key. I just need to know how to access the wep key on my tablet so I can enter in my laptop.

Thanks for any help!!

[Acer Iconia A500] swissdiving:
Why don't u set a new WEP key on your router?

And who is still using WEP nowadays?
[Acer Iconia A500] Rippster:
Agree! Change your router to use WPA2/AES and get off WEP. WEP is pretty much useless and can be cracked in 10 seconds. Of course, it all depends how you want to protect your network.
[Acer Iconia A500] peder303:
Isn't it located at \data\misc\wifi ? That's where your wpa keys are...
[Acer Iconia A500] zcostilla:
Plug your laptop deftly into the router and Google three IP for the setup page. You should be able to set the key from there unless you changed the default password already.
[Acer Iconia A500] a.child:
There aren't any wep crack apps on the plày store are there?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Anyone watching the keynote from Google I/O??

Jelly bean is A LOT more than a few bug fixes, increased speed and fluidity and a ton of features.

Nexus Q looks great!!!

Nexus 7 is fantastic!!!! I must have one! Now!!!! :D

The google glass demonstration was the best piece of PR I have ever seen, well played Google, well played......

Any thoughts from the community?

Hopefully the S3 sees JB soon as this hardware deserves the best software.

They said they sent out the PDK to oems and hardware partners a few weeks ago so maybe Sammy are already working on it! Fingers crossed!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
Damn that is a nice gift packet
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
I was just about to post that here!!!

A new gnex, nexus 7 and nexus Q!!!!

With jelly bean preview version OTA.

DAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!!!
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
I wonder about glass though. It's quite terminatoresque for private use. For business and educational use it's great.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
At 1500 dollars I wouldn't buy it but if they gave one away free to everyone I'd be jealous! :D

I reckon its the future though.
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
Google wants to follow us during travel. Wants us to upload our pictures... I used face recognition today on the s3. Although I am really excited about all the uses I can also imagine things going horribly wrong.

Glass can and will become dirt cheap. 1500 now for a Bluetooth camera? I think not.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
The nexus 7 was the real star of the show for me, 1.3ghz quad tegra 3 with 12 core gpu. Wow.

I must have one.

And ya the whole glass thing is very big brother.

They know everything you do....
[Galaxy S III General] kasdorji@gmail.com:
Let's hope Samsung will push jelly bean ota soon.

Congrats all developers getting nexus devices.

:)
[Galaxy S III General] rovex:
Im not expecting JB on the S3 until the end of the year, any sooner will be a bonus. You dont buy an extensively customised flagship phone and expect a super fast update, SO much needs updating for JB, it will take a while.
[Galaxy S III General] sargasso:
As iphone 5 arrives so will jb
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
google has done some great work especially with project butter and project glass
[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
I really want a pure Google phone.. In don't know why I keep buying these themed phones lol
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Ya I'm glad I kept my galaxy nexus so I can get a bit of jelly bean come mid July!

It looks amazing!
[Galaxy S III General] Doughnut:
It does worry me how Google keep a tab on everything but that's why I purposely disable location/stat services and whatever else I can. Heck I don't even keep my you tube logged in nor do I use it on my mobile.

But I'm paranoid.

On weekends you will find me on my roof smoking whilst wearing a tin foil hat. Dat der Google watching me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
I've had my Galaxy Note for over a month now and, so far, it has been a enjoyable (albeit with some admitted flaws) experience. The battery bug, which I have yet to solve, still doesn't really impend my usage and I still manage to last through the day with minimal usage. The brick bug is one my kernel suffers from, but I am confident on Samsung soon releasing a solution and also have no plans to reset or wipe data any time soon so I should be safe. If it worries you that much, a decent amount of reading and then simply changing kernels properly can solve the issue. The Galaxy Note is a one of a kind device and it feels my desire for both a great phone and a great tablet.

On an off-note, what are the chances of us getting Jelly Bean now that it's been slated for a mid-July release?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I think brick bug has top priority.

First we will get bug free ICS 4.0.3

Then in Q4 2012 or probably Q1 2013 Sammy would roll out ICS 4.0.4

It will take 2-3 months more to fix bugs in ICS 4.0.4

So in Q3 or Q4 of 2013 we will get (buggy, unstable) Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] azzledazzle:
haters gonna hate, D1ckheads are everywhere, in your town, in your work, on the roads, even here on XDA, Just dont take them on !!

as for JB, I think its possible we might get it, The hardware can easily run it, However if we dont get it official, We will deffo get it ported :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
When the updated fix for the brick bug comes, will it be safe to update as to update we will have to wipe data which is a danger to us with the brick bug, no?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
I love the Galaxy Note. Loving the looks of Jelly Bean! That Nexus 7 is so tempting!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Moandal:
Hate haters, love the Note. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Brad387:
It's my favourite Android device at the moment. Loving the looks of the Nexus 7 also though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nickshertzer:
CM10 Android 4.1

So, uh, where is our update to Jellybean? ICS 4.0.4 is so old, my grandma uses it!

/jk (obviously, hopefully) :laugh:

New Notification drawer does look *****in' though...

"They can show you a ton of new information, and just like in Ice Cream Sandwich you can dismiss all the notifications with a single tap."
TIM STEVENS	12:57 PM
To expand a notification, there's a two-finger drag gesture to pull downward or upward again to collapse them.
TIM STEVENS	12:57 PM
Basically, notifications are way more powerful now and you can just delete all your apps. You'll never need them again.
TIM STEVENSOkay that's not true, but you can get a lot more done without dancing from app to app to app.
TIM STEVENS	12:56 PM
Google+ notifications show up here too. Full photos appear and you can +1 or share them directly from the notifications list.
TIM STEVENS	12:56 PM
There's a calendar notification, which you can tap on to send canned responses easily, like "I'm running 10 minutes late."
TIM STEVENS	12:56 PM
You can swipe it away easily, of course.
TIM STEVENS	12:56 PM
The Gmail notification expands too, showing you highlights of each email that you've received without you having to go into the app.
TIM STEVENS	12:55 PM
We're seeing a missed call notification and, with one tap, you can call directly from that page.
TIM STEVENS	12:55 PM
They'll now show full photos, they can expand. "They're beautiful." says Hugo, and we're about to get a demo to see it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dsan45:
Samsung is probably the best place to get android updates so it is likely jellybean will be applied
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vx117:
It's very unlikely that the Note will get Jelly Bean in the near future. Since samsung is more focused on pushing out the update to the S3 and building the Note 2, I doubt we'll get it in a timely manner. Maybe towards the end of the year.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] islandmixed:
Now when this update comes their will be.more bugs so why do ppl go so crazy about updates lol now if it deffo would fix the battery issues and the hangs my phone does time to time great. Let me stress that those who are rooted and be flashing roms left right and centre seem to be having major issues lol its like stoppppp!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] CorruptedSanity:
I'm very happy it's my note. Sure there are flaws, many in fact but overall it's a great device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
What you have now on your Notes is what you get,all of you are day-dreaming if you think even for a one single moment that there is going to be another official FW upgrade for our NOTEs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Cause this is a freakin, FORUM. People bring ISSUES, problems, things their frustrated with to a FORUM.

Cause this is a freakin FORUM. People bring ISSUES, problems, things their frustrated with to a FORUM.

Call it complaining if you like. If you want a forum where people only wack off over happiness with their device in sure their out there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sbasil:
I have to agree with you. After using Huawei's U8800 for about a year or so, SGN is like a dream come true. The official ICS ROM is really good, haven't really had any issues at all (haven't even had an urge to test any custom ROMs since I updated my phone to the official ICS...It's just so darn GOOD). And even the stock launcher is pretty good...It's not TW5 but it's still all good. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
I went to look at the s3 today in a shop, not cost I'm thinking of buying, just to see.

Yes its pretty, yes its quite smooth and snappy and I much prefer touchwizz ux, plus the display quality is a little more refined and the screen is smudge proof to a certain extent.

BUT... it still doesn't come close to the presence of the note, this screen despite its flaws is truly unbeatable for an everyday experience, and with a custom vanilla ics installed it just sends it to another level.

I love my note, I won't even consider trading it in until the note 2 or another worthwhile competitor enters the market.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Most complaints are generated by people complaining about people who complain about aspects of thier handset, so those who complain about those who are complaining, themselves become complainers. Then those who originally complained about issues with their smart phones start complaining about those who complained about them complaining in the first place. We then get a debate about if the original complaint was just a mere comment that appeared to be a complaint. Then someone will complain that the original complainer wasn't complaining just stating an opinion, then someone will complain that it wasn't an opinion but a complaint. Complainers will then complain that people who are doing all the complaining spoil the thread. Then the whole thing starts to get complicated when someone complains about whining, now this is really not on, because we now have so may complainers on the thread, we have no idea who is being accused of whining, so someone will now start whining a complaint about the person who complained about those who where whining about complainers. The whining about complainers, and complaints about whining continue for about, 30 pages or until the battery runs out in the smart phone that was complained about in all the whining.

That is why we have so many complainers and whiners.

btw watch out for the sneaky whiner who thanks a complainer. :laugh:

Amen ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
1 People have nothing to do and 2 complaining is easy and releases tension, but causing it to for others. Smile therapy is better :-D

Will Samsung's Brick Bug solution do the job?

To all my seniors,

Being super bricked and resurrected after losing 3GB eMMC space, will the impending Samsung Brickbug fix recover that 3 GB lost space for my Note too? If it does, i am ready to wait for it, otherwise i am gonna recompense my loss by burning down one of Samsung Service Centres :(

Oops here goes another complaint :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
If that's your plan of action, I would recommend doing it now, rather than waiting. The price of oil has dropped considerably over the last few months, you could make a huge saving on gasoline and do a really good job.

Just realised I have not complained whined or whinged, but provided helpful consumer advice. You should all be grateful. :laugh:
[Acer Iconia A500] robbbzilla:
I need to connect my laptop to my wifi network and forgot the long wep key. I have my Acer a500 connected now but I can't find or access the wep key. I just need to know how to access the wep key on my tablet so I can enter in my laptop.

Thanks for any help!!:good:
[Acer Iconia A500] robbbzilla:
need help

Anyone? If I had an apple I could go to the keychain manager and find it? Is there no such place in android Linux?

Thanks r
[Acer Iconia A500] acertabuser:
I think that is stored in wpa_supplicant.conf but on android that might be in something like /etc/wifi . You can adb pull it. Use busybox find if you have to.
[Acer Iconia A500] Bobg1231:
Try "wifi key recovery" app from google play. Requires root and it is free.
[Acer Iconia A500] acertabuser:
I think in ICS GUI you can pull up the connection under wifi, go to advanced tab and then you should be able to unhide the key from there?? I don't have my tablet on me right now.
[Acer Iconia A500] peder303:
Try to look in \data\misc\wifi... there the wpa keys are stored... I would guess that wep keys would be there too...
[Acer Iconia A500] swissdiving:
Just change the key on u r router.

And why would u be using WEP anyway. Its cracked so easily, might as well leave it open.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GT780DXR:
I am a noob. There I said it, and I am going to hopefully ask smart noob questions. I have a Samsung SGS II model number SPH-D710; build GINGERBREAD.EL29. I am currently rooted using ODIN 1.81, and I have on hand the firmware to go to stock using ODIN 1.85. On the ODIN 1.85 there is a box that is checked that says rest time. Is that the flash counter that it will rest? There are a bunch of custom roms out there; as you all know, but if I don't like a rom how can I go back to stock? Also I was reading something on this forum I believe that it said don't flash unless you have Rom manager installed. I installed the rom manager, and when I told it to back up rom it started to show the screen that Android has when you do an OTA update, but then it goes to a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. What am I doing wrong? I was able to get out of that screen, but it happened twice so I stopped. As the title says Operation:Not to Brick. Also I have a zImage file that is suppose to give me overclocking abilities. How do you apply that? ODIN 1.85 doesn't acknowledge that it is on my computer. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] j_shelton1988:
First, never ever ever use rom manager. This phone does not play nice with it and you may end up damaging your phone as a result. Second, always make sure you have reset time in odin unchecked. Im not sure what it does but ive always been told to uncheck it. As far as flashing roms goes, i would suggest checking out qbking77's videos. Hr does a very good job of explaining how to flash a rom. If you dont like the rom and want to go back to stock, i would suggest making a nandroid of your stock rom as it will be easier. Read up on the stickies on the dev page, there is a lot of helpful info that will make it easier to understand.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
First off please don't be in a rush to flash to something as soon as you get the phone - it's your easiest case to brick at the moment.

General rules:

Rom Manager = No-No

CWM from an ICS kernel - backups OK, wipes/restores NO GOOD.

(You need to flash a GB kernel before doing a wipe/restore)

ICS Factory Reset - Not recommended.

Doing pretty much anything from Gingerbread - GO TO TOWN!

I'll also suggest stay with stock ROMs and get used to the phone; in the meantime read up on the stickies in General & Q/A. Get a list of any remaining questions, search the threads using the search function and feel free to ask any remaining questions here.

Basically feel comfortable about what you're flashing before you do it. Never hurts to read up more on things before taking an action.... unless you're in a burning building.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] E4GTL33T:
I've bricked 3 of these, blue light of death.

First.

'Do not remove the usb from the phone or computer while installing ROMS.'

(Even if your laptop picks now of all times to attempt an hp update, freezing up, tempting you to do so)

Second.

'Do not continue with flashing even if you don't fully understand if the 'partition' checkbox needs to be checked or not using ODIN.'

(Even if you want to flash back to stock because the encrypt feature on your new ics rom doesn't work, along with most of your apps not being compatible. And you can't seem to find anywhere online that states if your ROM needs 'partitioned' or whatever.)

Third.

'Do not remove the usb from the phone or computer while installing ROMS.'

You'd think one bricking would teach a lesson... shame on me.

All in all:

Before you flash a ROM, make sure you know ExActLy how to go back if you don't like it.

Do NOT hit the bong 4 times with your neighbor before attempting anything new.

And for god's sake..

Don't unplug the usb from the phone or computer while flashing ROMS!

You'll do great!
