I use my phone not heavy but I'm on it I get 4 hours screen time and 2 days use no prob on stock jelly I'm GSM with the extended OEM 2000 batt wifi is always on and never switch outta 3g this phone battery rocks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
With 3G on, and not mutilating the functions of smartphone I can get 3 hours of screen on time. With wifi its 4 hours. I'm on stock 1750 battery on stock jellybean.

Has anybody done any tests to see how much more battery auto brightness drains vs. Manual brightness set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
My gnex has better battery life than my Toshiba notebook or iPhone 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stappern:
Yea very bad battery life lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
Wow! 13 pages of pointless IMHO.

For a smartphone, I find battery life on my GNex to be perfectly acceptable. This is with moderate to heavy usage, including FB.

To the OP: It's a SMARTPHONE, not an iPhone or some silly little feature phone (dumbphone). Have you ever owned a Windows Mobile device? Use a Touch Pro or Touch Pro2 for a couple days and THEN you'll have something to whine like a little b**** about.

Rant over.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Yeah, it is really annoying when people say "don't use Facebook, 4g, or widgets" to get good battery life. Ummm... these are some of the reasons I bought a smartphone. That's like saying don't drive your car very often to have a better gas budget. Forget that mess. I got a 3800 mah battery to fix this "problem".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Is the GSM battery compatible with Toroplus? If so, got a link?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
I would say use 4G only where it makes a real difference, and use a "better" Facebook app like Friendcaster. That's what I do.

Also, having notifications for "every little thing" is a good way to kill your battery no matter what device you have. So use them only for what's important. It really makes a difference.

It's annoying also when people about their battery sucking when they use 4G all the time even when it's a known battery killer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acras13:
This is kind of fun , I hate the battery life on my Gnex ! Why can't it have screen on time like my 1080p plasma TV ? This thing sucks ! My droid X can last for over a week if its plugged in to my laptop via usb cord , why cant the Gnex last at least that long unplugged , its so much more advanced .

O.k. seriously now , batt. life for me is fine , and I know what drains it faster , and I adjust those things as necessary . If I need the battery to last as long as possible , I don't try to watch videos in bright conditions , because I have to crank up screen brightness . Just out of curiosity , how many of the complainers are completely isolated from any way to charge their phones for a day at a time ? I'd be willing to bet that ALL of them spend more time close to a potential charging spot than not in a given day , so plug it in and stop crying . Do you ***** that your laptop only lasts 3 hours on battery , while theres an outlet 3' from where you are sitting watching the real housewives of Oshkosh ? I work construction , 8-16 hours a day depending on the job , and usually can't plug in . I barely use the phone when working , but in the truck , if its in need of a little juice , I charge it . Really , no one is going to look down on you for charging , its ok .

As for all the scientific data (sarcasm) that the iphone has a better battery , my gf had a 3gs and has a 4s and with comparable use I seem to have a bit better battery life than her , and shes jealous of my screen size . Just can't get her away from IOS .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I bet a half of the battery sucks thread, could be attributed to poor mobile connection. My sprint phones would drain like crazy no matter what I did. Fast forward to now gsm gnex battery life like a boss
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
What Rom are you on? Mine was getting WAY hot...creepy hot for a while. Changed roms and set kernel to on demand
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MДЯCЦSДИT:
First half = light use

Second half = ssh + constant 3g + in a car + heavy use
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JediNinjafication:
i agree with the friendcaster..all the way around. I actually have tons of notifications and an quite pleased with my battery. Switching to the dark roms help alot too. Didn't think it works matter but it does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdizzle316:
I've had the gs3, evo lte (giving to my sister cuz she wanted it), and now the GNexus, running jelly bean. The Nexus seems to be my favorite. .transitions and scrolling is super fast and smooth on this device.

I must say though, of the 3 devices the nexus has the poorest battery life. Yes it has the also has the lowest capacity battery, but I don't understand why (I have the Sprint version, rooted and rom'd currently running paranoid) . I've really enjoyed the nexus line the most of all the android devices I've used and will most likely try to slow my roll on buying every new phone that comes out, buy purchasing only Nexus phones, cause this habit is really costly. "Rumor" has it that the next release for the next nexus will come in qtr 4 this year. I'm hoping it will come with a much improved camera and better battery life.

[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ltorres8890:
During this week that I've been using the Q at my home I've found that it sometimes does not hold a consistent volume when it's being used, mostly when using youtube and playing music

At first it would be playing alright, but then it would suddenly lower the volume gradually until its muted (while the song/video is still playing), and changing the volume a bit would cause it to go all the way back or even higher than what it was..

Anyone else that already has a Q with the same problem?
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G Star:
sound is a huge part of any cell phone!!!
[Nexus Q Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobukcat:
I've been using mine quite a bit since getting the application working last week and haven't noticed any of these problems. I do have a problem with the Google Play Music application not properly playing the tracks I want though. For instance I chose Artists - The Beatles - All Songs, chose a song to play and put it on shuffle but it's shuffling all tracks, not just The Beatles as I selected. This may be because I'm using two different devices (Xoom and Bionic) to control it at times but I'm not sure about that. I will have to reboot it and only use one device and see if I get the same results.

Plugged in an epson printer and it notified me that I plugged a printer in.. but then proceeded to tell me that the only printer supported is a samsung printer. We need a workaround for this :-)

Likely power, try with a hub maybe? My spinning disk usb hard drive doesn't work either, but makes a clicking sound. I recon there is a limit to the current the phone can supply.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jrob214:
Yea I've tried with the hub but still none of my files show up in the "My Files" app or a 3rd party file explorer. Shows a mass storage device is connected in notification bar and the HDD LED light is even on.

hey i recently bought a galaxy tab 2 p3100 ,after searching in few threads i foundout the binary flash counter problem which avoids warranty in other countries ,i'm guessing the same implies in our country too ,but still would like to confirm ?

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] shinydesert:
Quick question: How is the death grip on that device?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] imnuts:
I don't know any device that has a warranty that covers flashing non-stock firmware to the device. Even the warranty on the Nexus is technically void once unlocked and flashed with non-stock firmware. Just that it is easy enough to revert back to stock and re-lock if you do have an issue.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ze0:
actually i loose only 1 bit signal strength ,nothing much ,wifi is fine.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ze0:
even if you return back to stock firmware ,the flash binary counter doesn't reset i guess....thats what i am trying to confirm.

Sure you will lose warranty.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mmkah:
I am a milestone 2 owner and I messed it up.

I came from 2.3.6 GB Retail ROM, and run a bootstrap first time to go to CM7.2, and it is ok.

After a time, I decided to go to CM9.

And I run the bootstrap for second time.... so I got it bricked.

What I tryed before to ask?

1. Power up + Up arrow - doesnt work

2. Power up + x - Goes to blank screen

3. Power up + Volume Down + Camera = Bootloader OK

And a lot of another combinations that doesnt work.

The problem is the Phone isnt recognized by PC, I tryed using USB_Drivers_Bit.... 3 or 4 different versions...

I tryed Motorola motocast drivers...

Moto Helper (from first to last version)

And everytime is the same thing "your device can't be recognized".

I am thinking about to try ADB drivers, and at least Flash a SBF from linux, with SBF_FLASH scrypt.

And for worse, my battery is down.

Can someone give me a little help?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] shimp208:
Before you flash anything try to fully charge your battery and if that doesn't work replace it with a fully charged battery, for drivers also try PDAnet universal drivers. But yes ADB drivers should work. If your going to flash anything using SBF I'd flash a stock image, go into recovery then wpie data and cache, then perform a factory reset. Then carefully follow the procedure (To prevent problems) for installing CM9 on the milestone 2.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxckitsdillan:
Hey guys,

Firstly, I am new, but I had a look around and I've seen similar issues to this, but I haven't seen this particular issue, so I hope I'm not posting a thread that's just like another one, and if I am, sorry for the annoyance, I honestly thought there wasn't one.

Okay, so I'm having trouble with a Galaxy S2 I9100

The trouble is, I rooted the phone, and then installed

CyanogenMod 9

(The latest build that was available yesterday) everything was working great, but it's my mum's phone, and she decided she didn't like it because of the colours and apparently the calendar was boring. (I know, I know, that's silly :rolleyes:)

So

after having CM9 installed

I tried to

unroot

and go back to the original rom (following the instructions that I found on (I can't post links yet, so) www dot galaxys2root dot com) EXCEPT where it says to install original firmware, it has a link to download version

I9100XXLPQ

, I instead downloaded and installed the exact build that was on my phone prior to installing CM9, which was

I9100XWLP8

After that I got the great honour of watching the Samsung GALAXY S II logo flash for

over an hour

while the phone was trying to boot, so I gave up on that idea.

I then put CM9 back on

, to see if the phone was bricked or not, and CM9 booted up within a few minutes, and worked perfectly. So I tried the "unroot" method again, this time using the firmware version they suggested, and have come into the same problem. :( :crying:

What I'm wondering is, am I missing something? Or are the instructions faulty?

Any help will be much appreciated, thanks guys, don't mean to be a bother. :D :highfive:

Hi there,

I have a SXL which is rooted and with one of Vertigo's ROMs (sense 4). My phone's is on the new HBOOT (1.28) and is branded to a specific network. Is there a away I can unlock it to use any SIM card?

Thanks in advance!

Only using pay website.
[HTC Sensation XL] mantonas:
Well, I am actually a bit confused now!:confused:

I read something some time ago (I think on the htcsensationforum) that if you change the phone's network settings to GSM (only), then turn off the phone and insert a different SIM, it would work. So, my phone it's eMobile branded and after following those steps, I was able to receive a call on my phone with a another SIM from Three (different provider).

If it worked with Three network, it should work with all the others :fingers-crossed:

I wonder if anyone else has also tried that.
[HTC Sensation XL] stona175:
hmmm. dunno cuz every1 i know have unlocked phone.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
I agree with stona175 on that. I know it is hard these days unlocked phone and pay in cash. But there are so many mobile stores, specialy on the "Island" ;) where you can get sim unlock for 20-30 pounds.......you should try that :)
