[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanith:
Well it is a battery drain, your phone will always be using battery if its turned on.

Fiddle about with settings, keep things turned off (wifi/bt/etc) try custom roms for battery life improvement.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elena11:
I am getting emails all the time and is part of my work. Also I am driving a lot daily and using a BT. I had the extended battey from Samsung on my S2 and I barely made the day. Now with the S3 and the bigger screen is even worst.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuvas:
Guys! Chill!:p

It's not a problem at all. As soon as you unplug your charger,

the phone uses some battery just by staying awake.

So it shows up as 99%.

For more information read this

"There is no memory and no scheduled cycling is required to prolong the battery's life."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
That's really weird and should not be that way, I get twice as much battery time with s3 then with my s2!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
I have the same problem but as soon as i do something the battery drains insanely
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonny68:
Have tried a number of ROM's on here and most have been very good but i always go back to CheckRom as it is undoubtedly the best of them all and ive noticed the battery always drops to 99% after i uplug the charger but amazingly enough it didn't drop to 99% it stayed at 100% and is still at 100% 10 minutes later,this is after i have flashed CheckRom earlie, i done a full wipe inc battery stats but i tried that a few times already and it didn't work so ive no idea why it has worked this time but im glad it has:good:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Jesus.

People think that just because the phone stays on 100% after it is unplugged it is living longer than anyone else's phone? It makes no difference. You do not have 100% charge the moment you start using it because it is impossible. What is the big deal anyways?

Also, calibrating your battery using apps does nothing. Wiping battery stats in CWM does NOTHING. This is not a big deal and does not deserve 32 posts because people don't understand.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
You must be using your phone substantially more than any phone was designed to be used if you can't get it to last a day.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zool80me:
I have the same issue, after unplugged battery state dropped in to 99%, but after few times it is like that, i guest its normal...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
Yes, same with my version so I guess its normal :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cixtim3:
Presumably this is caused by inaccurate measurement of the battery level.

Same here I'm not particularly worried about it..

Just ignore the percentage reading and it certainly needs to be fixed in the future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnboywilson:
The battery dropping to 99% is normal like everyone is saying on here.

With your screen been on as much as yours is it will drain the battery as mentioned.

One thing I have found on my SGS3 is that switching wifi to go off when your phone is asleep helped my battery a lot.

I was flat by tea time with mine, but changing th wifi policy it was able to make it to sleep time!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewaywardgeek013:
Hi Guys, just a quick question here, I recently changed my ROM from CM 7.2 to CM 7.2 Mirage - Kang Build by using a CWM Recovery SD, clearing cache and such, all worked correctly and properly, just that I didn't know that the Kang Build did not support 16bit Frame Buffer that I wanted so that NC can atleast run Blood & Glory.

Now my question is if I reverted back to CM 7.2 by clearing Dalvik Cache and Cache first, would there be any problems in terms of the system and apps?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DizzyDen:
No, there would be no known issues... both are the same build as far as that goes...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankusb:
I've posted a 16 bpp kernel here for that build.

Frank
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewaywardgeek013:
Hi Frank, I also read your posts in Mirage - Kang Thread, thank you for posting the thread of your kernel, didn't know you posted it here.

Also thanks DizzyDen, was a bit cautious at the time because there were a lot of changes that was done from Cm 7.2 > Mirage, didn't know that it would just overwrite it. :p

P.S.

@Frank - there's a new CM 7.2 MiRaGe - KANG build

Here:

Update 06/23/2012:

- New 06232012 build, synced with CM

I just don't know if the sync was for a Nightly Build of CM.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankusb:
There were no kernel changes between 6/8 and 6/23. Actually you can probably run either of the kernels I posted with any CM7 build.

Hi folks can anyone tried to install Indic fonts in SGS i9000 4.0.4?

It is not working clearly in any ICS ROM. But only it works in Elite's Sony Arc Beta2 exactly. Can anyone extract this goodness to their future rom development.

a noob question here :D

what is the different between this market and normal market besides it themes?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Spex:
when u update apps it only download files that changed to save data :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ekakribo:
Did you mean become saveable apk?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Spex:
no
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iCung:
so when i update an app, it'll only download the latest data (and replace it of course), not the entire apk?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Spex:
yes thats right
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iPusak Gaoq™:
hmmm...what best about this new store is it can show you which apps you have disable(freeze) from your devices....enabling the apps back will auto update it...keep it disable when you don't have to worry about auto update...

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Stable2012:
i had that to, it updated himself to 15.... but i don't have the black theme as jelly bean:confused:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lollybanty:
Hello,

Please i need help and advice.

My Desire HD stopped working sometimes ago. A friend took it to the US for me and the motherboard was replaced. Now the Phone is working but with the following issue.

1. The Phone is not recognising external memory(SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem).

2. Camera and the video is not working (Goes blank when started).

I am sure there will be other issues that i have not noticed yet

On checking the phone, i noticed the phone is now having a HTC Inspire 4G as model number and the OS is AT&T

OS is 2.3.3 with 2.1 Sense

Is this why some features are not working? Can it be fixed?

Kindly help with what i need to do to make the phone work well.

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raenzen:
The Inspire 4G is a slightly different model type than the Desire HD. It is only sold by ATT in the US and it's possible, that using a motherboard from a slightly different device, something can brake and let you get these issues.

For me, it seems to be an issue from the used hardware support and you should contact them.

Also just a software or driver problem is possible, but don't know much about that in comibination of the inspire 4g hardware.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnDr0idUzer:
Is your phone rooted? Try flashing an HTC Inspire 4g rom.
[Nexus 7 General] ap3604:
Just wondered how many went with the 8gb and how many went with the 16gb :)

I went with the 8gb because:

1) That $199 price is so damn sexy

2) I don't clutter up my electronics w/ excess rarely used music & movies

3) Dropbox / Google Drive / Skydrive / Box.net cloud storage.
[Nexus 7 General] _dan:
I'm getting more and more into using the cloud. Didn't seem worth it to spend an extra $50.
[Nexus 7 General] Shaquiel Harris:
16GB. 8GB and i'ts like i have my little ipod touch again.
[Nexus 7 General] Baconrules21:
8 gigs. Nothing to put on there... a few pdfs of school books and everything else is on cloud. I couldn't justify putting anything else on. lol
[Nexus 7 General] dalkor:
Don't forget that 8/16 GB is an overall flash storage capacity.

Judging by my Nook devices there will be about 5/13 GB available for user.
[Nexus 7 General] mo976:
8gb

I went with the 8gb since I am getting it as kidtainment system for my toddlers apps, I figure even with the all those apps I will have plenty of room for some "lower quality" videos for him as well. Other uses will include the occasional eBook or magazine as well as for use as an xbmc remote and for the occasional browsing etc. Point being actual media storage is not a concern, and though a microSD slot would have been nice the trend seems to be away from it.
[Nexus 7 General] kkh786:
Just preordered 16gb (£209 including delivery).. 16gb not ideal but should be enough.. I would use it for movies and games when away on business and all sorts at home.. excited as hell now.. :D
[Nexus 7 General] dalkor:
£209 is about 325$ May I ask why it's so pricey?
[Nexus 7 General] Roachie:
When its available in the Netherlands i will probally go with the 8GB.

Im not going to watch movies on it (got a big ass tv for that :D ) or put music on it (got me phone for that) .

Gonna use it for reading Ebooks nad magazines and general browser on the go.
[Nexus 7 General] paulshields:
We pay a lot in tax and just generally get price gorged in the UK compared to the US.

Having said that, £159 to £199 is actually a pretty good price for a device with this spec in the UK :). Got my order in already...
[Nexus 7 General] danielsf:
I'm so happy, I have just ordered the 16gb one today with my spare money from my 18th birthday (today :D). Also, today I have just gone out and bought the galaxy s3 international with most of my birthday money (and money I have saved up the last year) :D I can't believe how cheap it is, I know that I will need the 16gb version. Wow, I can't believe what a good day this has been, the galaxy s3 and the nexus 7 :D I just can't wait for the amazing development to start on this tab, seen as how it is a nexus :D
[Nexus 7 General] theoneofgod:
Spare money from your birthday? Lucky, I've not had this much with all birthdays combined!

I'd go for 16gb.
[Nexus 7 General] jirkadus:
Well, as I saw in checkout, the tax is £34 so if you subtract and convert £ to $, you will get $255. And price for 16GB in USA is $249 without tax. So I would say the price is big surprise... At least I was nicely surprised....
[Nexus 7 General] markp1989:
I preordered the 8gb at 4:30 this morning but I am debating weather I should change the order and go for the 16gb, I looked at my phone and tablet, not including the music on my phone, I have less than 2gb of data on each, so it looks like 8gb would be plenty for me but as its is impossible to add storage after purchase Im finding it hard to make up my mind.
[Nexus 7 General] RandyN:
I also ordered the 8gb version and still not sure if I should get the 16gb model. On my Sensation, if you don't count music, nandroid backups, etc. I'm using 3gb of storage on my SD card. I know it's only $50 but that could go toward something else (e.g., a new Kindle Touch with backlighting).

One way I decide when spending money is to put it this way: I'll give you either a Nexus 7 8gb and $50 or a Nexus 7 16gb. Which would you take?
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
16 for sure. With all the games that I'm going to have on it I will need all the space I can get.
[Nexus 7 General] Outrager:
I preordered a 16GB but I'm waiting on the phone right now to change it to the 8GB. I don't see myself putting any music on this thing and will most likely use it for web browsing and streaming videos. I'll save the money to buy the next Nexus phone instead since I'm in the market for a phone this year. I just hope they give us more than 16GB with the next GSM Nexus phone.
[Nexus 7 General] themassofthesun:
8 for me. I mostly use the cloud even when I had huge sd cards I would always stream unless absolutely necessary.
[Nexus 7 General] kimboinatl:

I ordered the 16GB, My 64GB iPad has over 11GB or apps on it. I didn't think 8GB would be enough.
[Nexus 7 General] Bayton:
Question about the Currys ones..

Will they be identical to the play store versions? I know the GNex has a different model number for different carriers and Google favoured updating one line of them before the others (or so I hear).

And naturally, I guess Currys devices don't get the 15 quid play voucher?

I've pre-ordered the 8GB version through the play store.. considering the 16GB is only 20 more through Currys, it seems like a good deal.

However, I don't want to be the last Nexus7 owner to get updates or have to wait longer to get one than if I stay with the play store.

5.8GB seems usable, but if the above all plays in favour to Currys, I may just go with them (I don't need the 15 quid play store voucher, anyway!)
[Nexus 7 General] Juvenall:
I went with the 16GB model just for the extra app buffer room. That should give me plenty of room for app storage with a little wiggle room for down converted media (yay for flac files).
[Nexus 7 General] pillowtablet:
8GB. +£40 for another 8GB just isn't worth it to me.
[Nexus 7 General] Bayton:
I know, right? :-\

You wouldn't buy a 8GB flash drive/SD card in a store for 40 quid, why would they charge that on a device?

[Nexus 7 General] shuflie:
I went for 16Gb from currys for £189.99 which is only about £20 more than the 8Gb from the Play store with delivery, may not need it all but I've always been a believer in having but not needing rather than needing but not having. The Play store credit hasn't been confirmed when buying from resellers, but Google haven't come out and said it won't be included either so I guess I'll find out when it gets here.
[Nexus 7 General] Glod:
1 x 16GB for Wife

1 x 8GB for Me because i wont be using it for games and all my movies and tv will be streaming (netflix, hbogo, hulu, play, etc)

I just got the Galaxy S III also so the decision to spontaneously purchase 2 tablets will haunt me and debt on my credit card. Ah f*** it.

[Nexus 7 General] Bayton:
I just got this from the play store when asking about differences between theirs and the 3rd party suppliers offering pre-order:

Hi Jason,

Thank you for writing in, with the third party retail stores, the only information that we have been given on the subject is that Google hasn't authorized anyone else to sell the device, so the only way I believe you can buy the device is through our Play Store.

If you have any further questions feel free to message back.

Regards,

Josh The Google Play Team

[Nexus 7 General] Backslash10:
I got myself the 16gb one just because I thought it would be a smarter move. I'm probably not going to use it all I'm not even close on my galaxy nexus. Im probably going to use it for like comics and tv shows and movies so it should be nice.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
Went with 16GB because I have an iPad, and 16GB isn't even though on that. I have a feeling that those with 8GB N7's are going to be wishing they had just spent the extra money to get 16GB.

[Nexus 7 General] chris44gw:
16gb just because no sd card support but 8 probably would have been fine
[Nexus 7 General] wiithepeng:
The only reason I first ordered 8 gb cause I already have an iPad first Gen to hold all my movies/TV shows/etc so the Nexus 7 would be my all around tablet that has Android :D
[Nexus 7 General] Q.Entity:
It depends what you use it for. I have one of the first batch of Transformers with 16 and I don't even go close to 30% of that. All I use it for is email, news, forums, kindle app and browse.

[Nexus 7 General] Earthbrain:
Neither. I am waiting for the 64 GB version.

I am a big movie person so 16 GB would fit only about 3 movies since a portion of the space is for the OS, games, apps, etc...

I would gladly pay for more for the 128 GB version.

I pre-ordered the 8gb on release day but ended up canceling it and getting the 16gb from Gamestop. I just wanted to burn up a bunch of store credit, and if they'd offered the 8gb in-store, I'd have stuck with it.
[Nexus 7 General] LeeDJohnson:
16 GB

Without expandable memory I felt the 16GB was a better choice. I plan on watching movies, playing games, and use it to test for development.

I will not always have access to the cloud so 16 GB is the best choice.
[Nexus 7 General] Jnewell05:
16 for sure never know when I will need the space.
[Nexus 7 General] CBMC:
Went 8 originally. When I so the 16 for $234 @ Jr, I had to go with it for $6 more than I paid for the 8. Now the question; how long will it take?
[Nexus 7 General] Lttlwing16:
decided on the 8gb

Reasons:

1. Have a nook color, and don't watch many movies on it apart from netflix, and never use it for music

2. Will use for : games, currents, tapatalk, browser, reading, words with friends, general time waster.

3. Will have wifi/tether 100% of the time, so cloud options are there.

4. believe there will be options with usb/otg for offline movie watching on trips.

5. Couldn't bring myself to pay 280 all said and done, even with play store credit. (GS not a real option..as I question the validity of the 25$ credit from them)

6. Felt much better about 230 shipped and 25+ credit.

7. If storage becomes a problem, I'll give the 8gb to my wife and buy a 16gb.
[Nexus 7 General] cwc3:
16gb.

Browsed this thread over the past couple days, and good amount of thinking. 6gb is not enough for me to be safe. While over the next month or so I will beat myself up for spending $50 on 8 f#$%ing gigabytes, the following months I will be thankful.

My reasoning behind it:

First Tablet

2gb taken up right out of the box

Nandroid Backups

Titanium Backup

Emulators/Roms

Peace of Mind

I will be by wifi for 80% of the time, but I don't feel like uploading & downloading everything on my cloud just to keep my 6gb of space tamed.
[Nexus 7 General] razball:
