[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
It really will be determined by what you plan to use on your phone? Any of the roms can give great or terrible battery life. I build the MIUI for the mighty little Photon. I love it, and the battery life is good enough for my liking overall (avg around 10 hours on an Anker 1600mAh battery). If you want better battery life, use the following:

1) Keep screen timeout down to under 30 seconds. Havina this screen on fora minute is just dumb...LOL

2) Set your e-mail accounts up to poll every 15 or 30 minutes. Having them on PUSH will require them to run in the background all day, and will reduce your battery life...especially if it's an Exchange one.

3) Turn off GPS when not in use. This is a KILLER on ANY ICS rom. It'll suck your battery dead faster than any other thing on your phone

4) Turn off wifi if you're somewhere you won't be using it. Having it constantly searching for open access points will kill your battery

5) Use a darker theme

My best advice...try all of the roms....since a flash takes literally 2 minutes, you can try them all. Flash it, run it for a day, see if you like it, then if you don't go on to the next one :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Isn't miui a white theme? Making for less battery life? I usually don't use wifi and leave gps on for work other than that my screen is set to 30 and 30 second timeout... I just need to know, I guess, which rom is the lightest?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
There are a couple of themes that work that have a dark background.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Themes work and there are plenty of nice dark ones like the one I'm using now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Awesome! I guess I'll just have to see which has the least apps installed as a base... Any idea on which one has the least amount of apps starting out? I know CM9 is pretty lite

The reason I'm asking all this is because my only source of downloading is my phone so I'm limited as I'm no longer in a 4g area. Thanks for all the help in advance!
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I saw my best battery life in AOKPCB, but I couldn't keep away MIUI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
So far cm9 is pretty bad... Tried miui but the apps are kinda hard to get used too, I heard aokpcb is pink? What about aokp?
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
AOKPCB is not pink at all. It's mostly ics blue. AOKP is similar to cm9.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I get pretty good battery life on cm9 with powersave/deadline, profiles, slight undervolting and slight underclocking.10 hour of pretty moderate to heavy use and im at 55%.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
No disrespect intended, sir, but I hate this idea. One of the first thing I do is crank my screen timeout up as high as it will go (10 minutes, I think). Nothing worse than your screen dimming when you're trying to do something. If I'm using it, the dimmer can back the frak up. When I'm done, I'll hit the power button and let it go to sleep.

That said, if I'm in low light, I turn the brightness down as far as it will go. Makes it easier to read. My CM7 notification toggle for brightness has two settings: Dim and 100%. I use both regularly depending on where I am.

Also, I find that battery use fluctuates a lot. I've gotten 20 hours on my stock battery -- that was in CM9 or Paranoid Android, one of the two (the latter is CM9 based, but the CM9 and Paranoid Android bases are outdated). I've also gotten as little as 6. I've never heard of a universal benchmark to measure battery life definitively. It's gonna differ every day because your usage changes every day. It's gonna differ from person to person because your location in relation to cell towers is different from mine. At home, my phone works its ass off to stay connected. At work, not so much. My 20 hour run was at work.

None of the ROMs have patently abysmal battery life. One thing that will definitely help is the lack of background processes, so any de-Blur'd ROM (including all ICS ROMs) would have a leg up over stock for that reason alone. Blur has so much crap running in the background, it's disgusting.

Oh, and Amazon Appstore and its notification spam. I bet that sucks up a bit of battery. "Hey hey look at me, you have X updates" *open Appstore* "No apps to update, trollface.jpg". Seriously, the Update tab should display a trollface when there's nothing to update, because you probably went there because of that stupid notification. Maybe use Titanium to freeze Appstore if apps you got through it don't require it to verify your purchase, and follow the free app of the day via Twitter via SMS or something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Generally speaking, if you're in the middle of something, you really don't need the screen on any longer that 30-60 seconds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustWorksTechnology:
Hey, good question about which ICS Rom having the best battery life. I would definitely have to go with CM9 by Jokersax. The battery life may be bad for a few days, but according to the replies and posts on his website. Battery life will be more exceptional after 3 days of usage. :) I like my CM9 Rom and it has better battery life everyday. But it is all based on personal preference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I'm using CM9 7.0.0

Just got it last night and personally the battery life kinda sucks. But I just set up my profiles and whatnot. I also notice the battery life getting better.

Then again it could completely be my fault for always using my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tony442:
Well I've tested cm 9 for almost 3 days and battery life only lasted for 10 hours on moderate use. I then chose to go with miui for 2 days battery life again was a little bit better only getting 12 hours with moderate use. Then I went to the aokp port bill released and so far I've gotten 16 hours with moderate to heavy use my battery is only at 20 percent and the rom is amazing! Thanks th3bill
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
I switched to aokpcb and its working nice. Although I'm still ALWAYS on my phone. It lasts about 8 hours.

Just an update: I've been running aokp for 2 weeks and got 20 hours average but have decided to switch to paranoid and so far have pretty much the same battery life and it just keeps getting better :) thanks for everything you all have done so far you have truly made this one of the best phones on the market :)

Just got this case through the post and am extremely happy with it,

been looking for a bumper style case for a while now and finally found this on ebay,

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] lambstone:
how the devil is this a bumper?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Accessories] ShyPod:
It's not a bumper, but the clear plastic on the back is hard like normal plastic and the white "bumper" around the edges is made of a rubbelike material (hard TPU). And the thikness of the "bumper" gives good protection from falls :) The other advantage of this case is that it's not flimsy like the other TPU and silicone cases on the marked, thats why I want one :)

[Nexus 7 General] Hal_The_Hacker:
Right, let me start off by saying that I am not a professional, I do not know for certain anything mentioned below, and I do not suggest you whip out the soldering iron and attempt to modify your tablet.

This is my personal analysis of the images of the mainboard which iFixit posted.

I have annotated all of the below images myself, if anyone wishes to 'borrow' these images, please reference this thread.

right with that out of the way... on to the PCB!

this is the top (side first seen when you remove the rear of the tablet) side of the mainboard. I have labelled all the connectors.

the most interesting thing to note here is the connector just next to the square cutout, one which I suspect to be for the rear facing camera which was on the ASUS MeMO 370T which we all suspect this tablet to be.

when the PCB is flipped, you can see that I have once again, labelled all the connectors.

Note the silkscreen on the board which indicates that this is indeed ASUS' ME370T mainboard

Note also, the missing components around the regulator... possibly to form part of the driver for the LED flash the rear-facing camera once possessed.

Also, there is a header at the bottom of the board for what I believe to be the HDMI port we all so desperately desire!

and finally, this is a cropped image showing the mainboard still in situe. you can see the framework within the square cutout of the board, I believe this to be for the rear-facing camera/ LED flash unit.

Theretically (at least in my mind) it SHOULD be possible to take the HDMI and camera modules from an ASUS ME370T BRANDED tablet and after soldering on the relevant connector, plug in the devices and have two of the three most complained about 'missing features'

perhaps some of the devs on here could take a poke around the firmware and see if there are any drivers/references to a second camera/ HDMI port.

please remember, these images are the property of iFixit and I take no credit for them.

anybody have any other suggestions on what these unpopulated connectors could be for? or anybody have access to the tools to research this further and confirm my suspicions? I would be interested to hear what you guys think!
[Nexus 7 General] Cel1084:
I don't think it would really be worth the effort and cost to rebuild it, as opposed to just buying a tablet with the features you want already on it. It seems more like a hehe look what I can do thing to show off to all your nerd peeps. lol
[Nexus 7 General] Psipherious:
How many 7 inch tablets are there with quad cores and 1280x800 HD screens?

Which other ones can we buy?

I don't know of any alternatives. If we can solder an HDMI port onto that connector and make it work somehow... I'm doing that.

I suppose we'll see if it's possible over the coming weeks.

What I take away from this is that the NFC antenna is on the top edge, so two tablets would go head-to-head to communicate. Within about 2 inches...

Horrible reply for xda, your post looks like a Yahoo answers reply. You didn't even read what he wrote.

To op, if you are not using your phone as your post says, you definitely are installing a rogue app as your phone was awake for over 3 hours. Have you tried wiping? Also, battery monitor, whatever that is, appears to be significantly keeping your phone awake. Finally, it appears from the info above your phone was not in airplane mode the whole time as you suggest.

Also, on ics you can view data usage on a per app basis in the settings. Post a screen cap of that screen.

Well, from a full charge, let it sit for 2-3 hrs (I know, its tough) without touching it and post the log then.

Is this a brand new phone btw and are you giving the roms a chance to settle in for a couple/three days before judging battery life? The first day or two typically suck after flashing a new rom.

Edit: Oh, and being on ICS is definitely not going to help your battery situation. The GB rom is way more efficient. You may want to consider going back (the proper way, by odin EL26 stock kernel by Chris41G) and doing a fresh format and install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sweatynipples:
Well, it seems that my issue with the battery drain is resolved. It appears that the phone was constantly waking up because of a glitch in the USB, making the phone repeatedly turn on and think it is in car mode. This glitch also prevented the phone from recognizing the USB every so often for charging. I took a q-tip and gently wiped down the connectors inside the port and it seems to have made a more secure connection. I now get 20+ hours on a full charge with limited use, and the phone is going into a deep sleep.

I had the idea that for once I'd keep a device sleek and sexy vs throwing a huge case on it. Often I go on trips with the military and jump out of planes (it's not that crazy honestly). As long as you keep a device in a pocket with nothing else it usually doesn't get damaged. Pair up a nice slick case with a good screen protector and you're in business.

We went to a few stores including Best Buy Mobile, Best Buy, AT&T (corporate), Sprint (premier dealer), and those little kiosks in the mall. Of course the little kiosks had the cheaper than ever, eBay cases wrapped in plastic with "Made in China" stamped on them. These can be found for a few bucks on eBay, but they try to charge much higher prices because they can. I might as well note that in general cases are cheaper on eBay (even the premium ones). We found a healthy selection of cases at the mall including Casemate, Ballistic, Incipio (girlie color), and Belkin, but nothing from Otterbox was here yet.

The "Made in China" TPU cases didn't look too bad, but I opted for the name brand Belkin Shield Sheer case. This one is considered clear, but they also come in day glow, reflection, ruby, and black. They were pictured below in that order.

​

The case fits around the device really nicely. Just make sure you are careful if you have a screen protector on the device. You don't want the edges to pry up because your case is not overlapping the edges. It pushed up my ZAGG, however I shouldn't have installed it right after installing the InvisibleSHIELD. Now it's fine. I just used the squeegee to push the edges back down and make sure the case goes on over it.

I guess this case will keep the phone about as slim as it possibly can be while still being protected. Of course it will not offer as much protection as an Otterbox or the Ballistic cases.

MSRP: $24.99
