[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Perhaps turn it into a camera button.

butter and jelly please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:
When you turn it into another function lets say HOME. The swipes from the PGM application look at that key and do what said key says. so we need to find a way to add a fake key, say key 1000 with the function POWER for it to work. but Im not smart enough to do that. i downloaded the free app and decompiled it hoping to find A line of code that says look at key 116 for slide to wake but i have yet to see something like that. my theory is that if we change what it looks for in the app and then manually add that into ( system/usr/blah blah ) it should work. Sounds good to me at least. what do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patalo:

This may turn into a rom option in the future.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
For those of you who had the Sony X10, you knew that there was a battery calibration method. I won't go into detail about how it worked, but this is very similar so X10 users should be familiar.

Here's how it works:

Step 1: Charge battery to 100%

Step 2: While phone is still plugged into charger, hard reset phone (volume up + power)

Step 3: When phone turns off, unplug charger

Step 4: Turn on phone (Note: If calibration is needed, battery percentage will be less than 100%!)

Step 5: Plug in charger and charge to 100%

Step 6: Repeat until battery percentage is 100 upon restart.

WARNING: THIS IS UNTESTED. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT OCCURS TO YOUR DEVICE.

Your battery percentage should increase incrementally with each restart. Example: if on first restart, your battery reads 94%, then it should read 95 or 96% on the next restart.

Please test and report back. After doing this twice my battery life seems much better (currently down to 57% on 8.5hrs of moderate use). Today is the first day, so I'm not sure if it's just an anomaly. Any feedback is appreciated!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
I'll give it a try and report back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] earbrain:
It'll work. Once calibrated should be good unless/until any major system failures after which calibration typically becomes corrupted. Repeat when necessary. eb
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
First reset came back up at 98%. Charged it back up and after second reset was at 100.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Corbanski:
So with this method do you need to drain the battery?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
No. Essentially you are just reseting what capacity the phone believes is 100%.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
OK, I had afeeling that's what it would do. I'm going to run through the process until I get to 100% after restart. Let me know if the life is any better.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
i can also confirm that after trying this i got 97% then 99% now at 100% after hard reset... will now run down and recharge to 100% and report findings for battery :) thanks for this!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wesker81:
I've tested said procedure. Getting 100% charge reading now consistently.

I would like to know if using a different cable would be ok to use since the one packaged is very short.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
I use the cable that came with my captivate because its 6ft, not 3 like the Sony one. I do, however use the Sony wall adapter.

Once you reach 100% upon restart, the battery should be calibrated. Again, what you are doing is making sure the phone recognizes the correct capacity as 100%. I plan to check it once a month after I complete the process. My before/after comparison will be complete tomorrow night.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jfalgout2003:
Just wanted to give an update. My before/after was compromised, so I never was able to prove the effectiveness. I've since flashed ICS. I tried the method after flash and had 100%. I'm not sure if this means it doesn't work in ICS, or if I never lost my original calibration. I didn't wipe anything during the flash, so it's quite possible I never lost original calibration. If anyone can do a before/after for me, that would be great.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jinner:
I've tried it now, hard reset and charge to 100 about 4 times. Everytime I restart I quickly go into settings and go to battery use and it's already at 99%

Should I keep doing it?

ICS, LT28i. I just reset it and it's running stock like fresh out of box
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Zakanam:
Hey guys, i tried this method and did it several times since whenever I restarted it, it was unstable... first it was 99, then 98, then 100 then 96 then 98... so I did this several times... and then on one of the go when holding volume up + power, my phone turned off like usual and am unable to turn it back on :( computer cannot detect, I've charged it for one and a half days, still nothing and I even left it for two days and put it on charge, it does the same thing, nothing... except there is a VERY faint red/orange led when charging but only lasts 20 minutes then it vanishes when kept on charge. do you guys have any idea what's happening? its been a week and I am currently without a phone :( please help! thanks

[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
I was on a call and rotated my phone to landscape and BANG it was like that until reboot.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Are you on a custom rom?
[HTC One S] lykos:
Try turning on auto rotate, rotate to landscape, and than rotate back to portrait.
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
No I'm on stock. Bootloader still locked.
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
Auto rotate is already on. Call screen / dialer doesn't rotate it seems.
[HTC One S] lykos:
Clear Cashe and Data on the dialer app. If that does work than clear them on sense.
[HTC One S] OCedHrt:
Do they rotate on your phone? They've never rotated on my phone. And I just did a factory reset a few days ago.

They only rotate on custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loldawg:
Hi,

I've noticed recently my battery life dropped like mad. I take the phone off the charger between 8-11am, and it can't go past 8pm no matter what I do. Some minor info that might help :

I always charge it via PC usb cable

I have GT-I9100 using 3.0.15-I9100XXLPW-CL413606 (rooted CF)

My internet is always on (I turn off wifi when I'm not at home or work, using mobile data only)

I don't have many custom apps for stuff, mostly its stock

I have 2 widgets that update once a day

I read news using a local news app, check facebook now and then, have it set to update every 30 minutes (notifications, messages)

I have google talk on 24/7

I have nova launcher

I make a few phone calls, send a few texts, nothing major, I mostly communicate via google talk and e-mails anyway

Basically thats it. Whats more important, I haven't changed my phone usage since I purchased it (3-4 months ago) and I've seen a major battery life drop in the past few weeks.

Is there any way to figure this out? I used to get from 9am to midnight easy, now its going terrible.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Download BetterBatteryStats, you can get a free version from the developer off XDA. Install it and fully charge and discharge your phone, then analyse for Kernel Wakelocks which are preventing your phone from going into deep sleep and uses the phones CPU when locked (sleep mode). Type the kernel wakelocks using the most CPU time into Google and find a solution.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] BlaydeX15:
Define hot, with a temperature reading. People who live in Alaska think 70F is hot. :p Download a battery monitor app and take a look at the battery temp while it's charging. If it's under 45-50c, that's normal. (Albeit at the high end of normal operating temperatures)

The phone has very little in the way of insulation between your hand and the battery (Source of most of the heat). It could be running at the same temp as your old phone, but "Feel" hotter because of the thin back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] opto_isolator:
I got tired of waiting for HTC to release their POGO pin dock, and made my own, using the info I found in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1611116

I bought a el-cheapo dock on ebay for about $10:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110906604719#ht_500wt_1287

And asked for a couple samples of pins from Mill-Max.com:

http://www.mill-max.com/sockets/so_...ARCH_NUMBEROFPINS=&thumbnail=810_40_001tn.gif

Worked out pretty well - the only thing is, lining up the pins to the phone was a pain in the rear. I had to hot glue them in, due to the fact that I couldn't exactly align them using what I had on hand. The phone does charge, and changes to dock mode (as you can see). It only charges at USB speeds though - it seems that the folks in XDA have yet to figure out the secret (if its even possible) to charge at AC speeds using the pins.

All in all, a pretty good and cheap project - considering that the HTC dock costs $70, and this probably cost $20 at most.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tankmetal:
DIY for the win. Too bad I am using a ballistic case that hides the pins. I'm just too afraid of dropping my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kamran224:
Wow, very nice. Thinking about doing this myself but maybe trying to keep the dock looking nice
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] opto_isolator:
Thanks - obviously this is a little rough for my first attempt. Definitely a learning experience. Due to the fact that the darn pogo pins on are on the back of the phone, you need a dock that will hold the bottom of the phone in place, which limits which docks you can use. I'm not sure if the Kidigi dock will work - it may depending on how much room there is inside of it.

The pins I got from Mill Max fit a 1/16" dremel bit exactly, however since I didn't line them up exactly, I had to oversize the holes, which is why its sloppier than I'd like. Oh well!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Kamran224:
That is true, but I guess at the end of the day, when the phone is plugged in it still looks nice. I wonder if someone could use longer pins and be able to do it with a case that has pogo exposed.

Hi there!

yesterday i bought this wide angle/macro and fisheye camera lenses for my Galaxy N7000. The problem is that i can't focus anything with them :(

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] NoteUser1:
I also got a fisheye lens for a few bucks from ebay and at first couldn't focus. I figured out that the problem comes from the magnetic attachment that distorts the focusing mechanism. It helped for me to use two of those metal rings between the phone and the lens to make the magnetic force on the phone smaller. Do you understand what I mean? otherwise i can maybe take a pic...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] cetopi:
i have the same problem

i have the same problem with my S2, and it seems that using two rings helps, but since they're both the same polarity, i can't align it.

weird thing this is only happening to few of us.

i'm not sure if it's the magnet, because i think the autofocus works with light, don't know what the magnet can do about that.

:silly:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] glenesis:
Yep. I had the same problem on my Epic II 4G Touch. An extra ring solved my problem, too. Been using these cheap fisheye lenses for a long time now. They are addictive! Jelly lenses are very useful, too. Their wide-angle/fisheye lens makes the ring around the photo a bright green. Very cool.

I can't really choose between the three. Although, the "white" on the Samsung seems better. Not sure why, but my One X seems a bit reddish.

Well I guess I'll have to settle for the Incredible. Wish I could have One X on Verizon.

The S III screen is so dim and has so many problems. Its color is awful. Most of all it's just plain dim. Half the brightness of a One X. No contest there, that is an objective fact. Then there are the tints, ink marks, the Pentile jaggedness, ugh. And the BURN IN that comes later. A nightmare. I really, really wanted to get an S III but I can't see myself straining to look at it outside or deal with ink marks.

I wish S III had the One X screen. Oh man, I wish. :( :( :(

To hold on to my data I will have to have a puny little Incredible. I also hate Sense already and the stupid multitasking button. Settings button would be so much nicer, with long hold on home for multitask.

Are there any other good S4 phones with LCD from VZ? I started looking at the Rezound, but it just seems like such an old phone...but since it's so cheap maybe I'll grab the Rezound and then wait for another phone next year to get off contract.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] corythug:
I've been using sammys samoled screens for years now and have yet to incur any burn in.

Edit: note burn in is definitely possible and I could see this being a factor in your choice, just saying it hasn't been a problem for me. Even with gps use and obviously the screen is on for extensive periods of time, no burn. Although I have heard others, specifically those using gps regularly getting burn in.

Edit2: I do love the one x screen though, traded my girl the one x for her SGSIII and I'm still in awe of the screen.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] lostincyberspace:
Hi!

It does appear that the HTC One X seems a tad reddish. I had the HTC One S phone (returned it for the SG3) and found the screen to be fairly bright and the whites looked really white. Would you say that is the case for the SG3 phone that is shown in your photograph? By the way, that is a great photograph you took of all three phones side by side! :)

Ok... so anyone up for rooting a chinese tablet? Got a Colortab-MID that according to the android system app is manufactured by WonderMedia and has an ARMv7 chip. PC at first recognized as Samsung S but after downloading android apk for 4.0.3 it connects with adb. Superoneclik said it was roted but somehow I cannot get superuser on. Went into the shell with adb and cannot change to su nor can I ask to "remount" the system as rw.

Any ideas?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] exb0:
Well I doubt its rooted then. Can you do a "adb remount"? Without any extra tags.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] earthspiritraven:
Nope. Got a "remount failed: operation not permitted" error message

Installed from play store link2sd, superuser and root explorer. Of course root explorer does not mount rw so surely not rooted.

To append more information. I've already tried:

Unlock Root ver 3.0 - says failed to get shell root

DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su - basically says the same thing, it even asks if already root

Cube Root for ICS 4.0.3 - experimented for the heck of it with this script but no gain

185_root_script - Found that this is for GB apparently

SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse - this version is apparently the latest but again no gain

It seems that all find that shell root cannot be obtained or that adb remount does not happen
