[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
So I noticed that my Amaze has been reporting that my screen is using a very high amount of my battery under battery usage and I was wondering if this is average or this is abnormal usage?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Screen always uses a lot of battery power, but if you wanna reduce this, you can lower you brightness.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Minker17:
My screen always uses the bulk of my battery. Even with brightness almost all the way down. I had been getting about the same battery life as you with minimal usage. Then I bought a 1900mah Anker battery and get 14 hours with 50% still left.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MidnightXZ:
I'm not really worried about how long my battery lasts, but if 88% for screen is normal or not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Its normal.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
If you call that normal, what do you call this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Someone who doesn't use their device much.:p
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
But still, 2 days and 10 hours! :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
I got one day once, but that was a busy day, lol, most I ever got otherwise was about 16-18hrs. Gotta say it's a hell of a feat, lol.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Keylogger_0:
Yeah, and even more, I didn't use juice defender or any similar apps, and still had my sync enabled and everything. :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Lol I don't use that either or ever take my sync off, I depend heavily on my emails, especially for school and my little phone fixing venture. :cyclops:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Blacktremolo:
Please note that those values are relative. If for example wifi uses up more energy than the screen, the screen will show a lower % value although using the same amount of energy. So in one of the previous Screenshots I would be rather more concerned about my idle usage being higher than the screen usage ;)

Hi I have simple mobile and when connecting to the server it always disconnects and tries to connect again, so every time it loses signal my phone vibrates twice. This happens all the time, even when I'm in a highly connect able area. Is there any way to disable this function, also phone never switches to silent it always vibrates on phone calls even though I set it to silent, any work around? Thank you in advance!

If you're only looking for functionality (not root, etc..) then Reset to Factory Settings. It does help a LOT. Don't forget to backup!
[HTC EVO 3D] StevesDesigns:
I have the same issue with crappy battery life after the fota ics update. Ove not needed to root my e3d before ics. I could uninstall block buster, spider man, etc... Now since the update, battery life is horrible. I've had to go back to old school methods, like installing juice defender, advanced task manager, and a CPU monitor to see what's eating the resources. My phone gets hot now just sitting idle.

Gee, thanks sprint for finally getting ics out. Even though its full of bugs, and ics is no longer the current version of android, but thanks. (can you hear the sarcasm?)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lordandroid:
I just factory reset my Maxx with the hope that the battery life would go back to the long life it had prior to the ICS update. I'm using a 3rd party camera apk and I'd like to set it as my default lock screen camera app. I did this on Saturday but I have forgotten how. Thanks

[Motorola Droid RAZR] RynoD:
If you have root just change apk to bak, also I had to set my handcent to default for mms and sms
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TDS40:
The easiest way to change Lock Screen defaults,...

Get the free app "Default App Manager".

I personally hate the stock camera on the Razr Maxx because it sucks, so I changed the Default to Camera360 (btw, if you haven't tried this app your missing out, nice clean photos everytime, with more detail).

Changing the Default app, changes the lock screen Default as well.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lordandroid:
I tried this approach and cant seem to get the 3rd party cam app to sit on the lock screen. The stock app is still on the lock screen. I have made my 3rd party app my default cam app.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vintshave:
I'm running IML74K.UCLd3, kernel 3.0.8 and android version 4.0.3.

For some reason, that ROM flashes fine. When I try to flash att_note_root.tar in Odin to get root, it all seems to go fine, then I can't boot the phone at all. It took a few tries to get back into download mode. The only thing I could do to boot the phone up was to flash the ROM again. So I still don't have root.

How can I:

Get root

Reinstall my apps (I have a Titanium backup)

Will installing old apps mess the new ROM up?

Do I need a new kernel?

I've been told to flash CWM to get root, but I don't know which version to flash.

no but you can flash the root file once you have CWM...see rooting also in thread.

[General Questions and Answers] GiantDwarf:
Hello, we need some more infos to be able to help you. Do you have a custom rom on it? Which recovery do you use. As the galaxy nexus is an offical dev phone there are many ways you can fix this. On the first sight it looks as if it would directly boot into recovery but there is no recovery on the phone (bad picture btw).

Try to boot into bootloader (phone off, hold power and vol down) that should bring you into the bootloader from where on you can flash a new recovery partiton.

camera performance with other apps

has any one tried using camera 360 app or something similar?

am considering buying this phone to use on t mobile usa but some reviews undermine the camera (gsmarena for example)

i get better pics in the auto mode from camera 360 app than the stock camera on my x10i with stock 2.3

honestly, the pictures taken by ion aren't as good as those by x10. pictures by x10 are clearer and they have more realistic colors..

same object but the one taken by x10 is just clearer while they both get the right focus point and under same settings (except that 12 megapixel on ion and 8 megapixel on x10).

also, a simple way to tell which phone takes better pictures is to take a look at the lens. larger lens will definitely take better pictures. appearantly, x10's camera lens is larger than ion's.

the only good point for ion is that its focus and shutter speed is super fast, so you can hardly get any blurry pictures

finally, compare if you don't trust me, but remember to view pictures on larger screen first :)

I wonder how many people were aware that greater megapixel count don't necessarily equal better pictures. Hopefully ppl did research before purchasing this phone.

But I will say that the colors are much better on the ion and quality as well. Also it takes much better pictures at night when compared to the x10, I was surprised since the ion is horrible under this condition, especially when compared to the current wave of phones.

I'm contemplating if I'm going to get this one or wait for the acro s. The ion is readily available here while the acro s will arrive sometime in August.

Thanks guys!
