Day 2 with new battery, issues seem fully resolved.

I just took my phone/battery back to the Telus store, they handed me a new battery, told me if the issues continued they'd swap the phone.

Left for work at 10:30, used my phone on and off all day, gps etc, it's at 51% now 10:09PM

It's my understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, but the cell standby bug is all cosmetic more than anything and doesn't cause battery drain.

I got juice defender ultimate and I think I'll have 1 day 12 hours with it. Perhaps a bit less.

Anything > 24 hours is just fluff tho once I get settled in and stop caring about battery stats I'll charge at night.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] krohnjw:
Because it's a throwback to the pre 2.2 days when memory management on Android was poor and you needed to actively kill tasks to keep an interactive device (pre 2.2 and high mem).

Users want task killers for the same reason they want exit options in the menus of apps, because they are used to them and expect to see them there. It doesn't give them any credibility or even mean you should have them at this point. Samsung bundling a "native" task killer doesn't make it a good thing or make it inherently useful. You could very easily argue it's detrimental to the ongoing memory management and caching algorithms and slows the device down in the long run.

Having the ability to stop a poorly coded app or service is useful (and native to Android) as there are some poorly coded apps that will destroy battery when they do things like constantly wake the device or not release wake locks. Those apps should be poorly rated and the developers contacted to fix their broken code.

Wiping *all* apps from the background is not a good answer any more than killing a fly on your window with a shotgun is. Both are effective at eliminating the problem but are far from ideal solutions and arguably detrimental.

Coming from the International GS3, my battery life has been less than stellar. I blame the LTE. I am currently in a place where I can't be on wifi all the time and I'm sure that's affecting the numbers, but my International version was lasting much longer. I expected more out of the S4. I figured the dual core would compensate for the LTE drain.

I created an HSPA+ APN and I'm going to switch to that for a day to see if taking LTE out of the equation makes a big difference. I really do like the AT&T version. They didn't load it with too much bloatware and it's not really crippled in any way. They removed a few things, such as the screen option (Dynamic, normal, Movie, etc.) but otherwise, it's definitely up there. Battery life is most important to me, however. I live in a place where I get 5 mbps download on the average on HSPA+, so I can definitely live without LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
This battery life isn't good enough for you?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] patmann03:
Ok, my battery has been doing much better. I have been restarting my phone in the morning and anytime where the battery really starts draining.

I'm at 1d 10h 57m and I'm at 40%.

It seems that sometimes the phone just needs to be rebooted. I haven't been able to pinpoint what exactly causes the occasional massive battery drain, but a restart seems to usually fix it. Basically sometimes the phone will be idle but the battery will just drain. I was at a baseball game and wasn't using the phone (data/wifi/bluetooth/gps all off) and I lost 10% in 45 minutes. I restarted the phone and the battery drain started to flatline instead of taking a nose dive. I could have a bad battery, I just haven't had time to make it to an AT&T store because of work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
Hmm that sounds like our battery may improve when we get CM then. I'm betting I could get 3 days out of my battery if they fixed that bug.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] greyhulk:
Dude, you're using juice defender. That doesn't count. I'm quite familiar with that app and the negative affect it has on background syncing. Frankly, the extra battery life isn't worth it for the delayed emails.

I'm comparing stock US to stock International and my I-9300 did much better under identical conditions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jauwad.arshad:
Agreed, we should not have to give up such basic functionality. I am currently running the stock ROM from my provider (Rogers Wireless) and have rooted it (without tripping the counter). I installed Titanium Backup Pro and removed bloatware (including all the S voice, S memo stuff). I also have the CPU sleeper app installed (can be found in the AT&T Galaxy S III Android Development>{Script} [App] CPU1 disabler while in sleep!!! 07/12/2012 Release 2.1) and I get 16-17 hours of battery life on moderate usage. I check my personal emails, work emails, whatsapp, Facebook, browse the internet, watch a couple of videos, etc. I have LTE, GPS, Sync, and everything enabled. Screen brightness is set to auto. I even have smart stay enabled. The phone is never on power saving mode.

The CPU sleeper app helps a lot especially when the phones screen is turned off, it loses about 1.2% an hour on with the screen turned off. The good thing is that I don't have to compromise on functionality and still have enough battery to last me for the day. I really don't see the point in having an S3 if power saving mode is enabled, emails are not being pushed, and features like LTE are turned off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
Anyone one on ATT here are the APN settings to force it to use 4G. While using LTE I can see the percentages dropping while I surf the web or watch youtube. When 4G first came out I remember its max download being 1Mbps, currently though Im hitting 5Mbps which isnt bad at all.

Something else I noticed AT&T S3 cpu's are set to a minimum frequency of 1Ghz being rooted and using setcpu it can be lowered as well as creating a profile for lowering the frequency for when the screen is off. This could save significant battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twostep665:
I'm thinking I have a bad battery. Last night when I went to bed (about 3AM) my phone was at 43%. I decided to not charge it and wait til the morning. When I woke up (11AM) the battery was completely dead. This has happened twice now.

[General Questions and Answers] ericseguin:
Hello,

Not sure if anyone has had this issue or not.

I used the galaxy nexus toolkit 7 to unlock my bootloader so that I could install the jellybean update, which seems to be working great. My problem now is that after unlocking and rebooting the phone, windows 7 found the phone as new hardware, shows up as just galaxy nexus in device manager, and the toolkit won't detect the phone in adb mode, even though auto run pops up and I can still copy files to it.

I need the toolkit so I can restore this .bak file of all my apps back to the phone. Unless there's another way to open this .bak file? I suspect that gnex toolkit won't see the phone because I can't choose jellybean from the build list?

Help is appreciated.
[General Questions and Answers] ericseguin:
Figured it out

Sorry guys,

USB debugging got turned off when I installed jellybean. Now that it's on, the toolkit detects it, and the restore is working.
[General Questions and Answers] nochum:
not so simple for me

I turned on USB debugging, and Toolkit appears to do its thing. I even get the screen asking me for a password. Android tells me that it's starting to restore the backup, then immediately says that the backup ended. Nothing changes: no apps, no settings. help!

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
As the title says. :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenith1111:
I actually thought about this myself.

Lots of lithium single-cell devices (3,6~3,7v) can be charged by USB (5v) but the transformer has 2 cells in series (7,4v) so it needs a higher voltage charger, in this case Asus chose 15v.

Assuming the transformer is able to charge the battery with a very low current power supply, you could in theory connect a step-up converter to the USB port to convert from 5v 500mA to around 15v 100mA, but even if it worked properly it would take well over 30 hours to charge an empty battery. This is how car chargers work, they convert the 12v from the car into 15v to the tablet, but in this case the car is able to deliver as much current as the converter needs.

If you have an USB 3.0 port it is different, I think a standard USB 3 port should be able to source up to 900mA. There are also USB 3.0 ports capable of supplying 1800mA, this would probably allow the DC-DC converter to charge it at around 1/3 of the speed the transformer charger does it.

Because of the need for the converter (and because when I have both the tablet and the PC around I usually also have an AC plug), I ended up not building the converter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
It'll trickle charge but not much else, as stated above USB 3.0 works better, but still the best is the standard wall wart.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hearts king101:
Thank you guys :good:

I read somewhere that galaxy tab 10.1 ( I assume it's as same as our TF ) can be charged through pc using a script file ( .sh ) but i'm not sure it'll does the same thing on our TF, Right ? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenith1111:
The galaxy tab probably can be charged via USB because it's battery pack is made of 2 lithium cells in parallel instead of 2 cells in series like the transformer.

When you place 2 cells in series you get twice the voltage and the same Amp/hour rating. In the case of the transformer we have two 3,7v 3300mAh cells in series, this means the battery pack is rated at 7,4v and 3300mA. The samsung has two 3,7v 3500mAh in parallel, this means the samsung battery pack is rated at 3,7v 7000mAh. Because the samsung battery pack is rated at 3,7v it can easily be charged via USB, although very slowly, a 7000mAh battery being charged at 500mA will take more than 14 hours to charge (7000/500 = 14 + losses).

Here is the Galaxy Tab's battery:

And the Transformer's:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
If you are willing to engage in a little hackery, you can get 12v from the power supply. The danger is that if you mod a usb jack, it could fry your zune if you accidentally plug it in. I think it's the black and yellow wire instead of the black and red.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Gee one, I'm going to look that up, if it's possible, I'm doing it. XD
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenith1111:
It will probably work, at least there are people on youtube claiming they charge their transformers at 12v, the difference between 12 and 15v is not great and 12v should provide enough headroom to charge the battery pack but if it was me I would still place a step up converter between the transformer and the PC power supply to get 15v instead of 12v.

The reason for this is that it would probably be cheaper for Asus to just use a 12v AC-DC adaptor, they went for a custom 15v one for a reason (I don't know what that reason is), but I would recommend charging at 15v.

If you don't know how to make one of those, just buy a car charger for the transformer on ebay and "steal" the circuit. These car chargers are designed to get between 10 and 16v from the car and converting it in a steady 15v, they also usually are capable of delivering close to the 1200mA rated in the original asus charger.

Oh, and for the "inexperienced adventurers", before applying power always make sure (as in double or triple-check) you don't have wires swapped, I don't know how tolerant these things are to reverse polarity or if the USB data lines (3,3v) of the transformer would tolerate 15v.

Hi all,

I have an HD2 with Paranoid Android (1.4a CM9 NAND), along with Supercharger V6 and Mounts2sd 4.5.0.

I'm experiencing some phone audio issues that pop up and then mysteriously go away again. Specifically I cannot hear the audio from the other caller and the only way to have the conversation is by turning on speakerphone (which always works but is quite inconvenient). The other party can always hear me alright.

Anyone else experiencing this? I think this may be related to my Skype, Linphone and CSipsimple installations too but I'm not sure where to look to start debugging. In fact I notice the same strange behavior sometimes in skype too.

Thanks,

How to build a kang build of MiniCM7

Preface

To wannabe developers:

Building android from source is not as hard as it sounds. I urge all enthusiasts to try to build their personal ROM on their own. Why copy a prebuilt binary when android gives you the chance to build it from sources?

Step1: Setup a build machine

Setup a real or VM machine using the info from here.

Step2: Checkout the code

repo init -u git://github.com/MiniCM/android.git -b gingerbread
repo sync -j16

Step3: Build MiniCM

. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_robyn-eng
brunch cyanogen_robyn-eng

Step4: Ready to flash!

Pickup the build from out/target/product/robyn/MiniCM7-xxx.zip

Step5: Contribute!

You got an idea on how to improve this rom? Try to implement it by looking at the code and seeing how similar things are already done.

Android is based on open-source spirit: You got it working? Share the patches for everyone to enjoy!
