Hi

It's not that simple and probably not worthwhile. 2G and 3G on standby are pretty close in terms of power usage, the only time you usually find an advantage with 2G is where the 3G signal is weaker, so less power is used keeping in touch with the 2G tower. If you fix the phone to 2G, you also save some power if moving around as the phone is only talking/listening to 2G cells, and less likely to be swapping about. When you have "auto" selected and you are moving around the phone has to monitor both 2G and 3G cells to be ready to make a handover decision, so that is extra power.

If you have the phone constantly dropping 2G to go to 3G when you turn on the screen, then back again, that all takes extra power to negotiate with the cells. Also if you get a phone call and the phone switches to 3G, this will drop all connections when the setting is changed, as you can only have a smooth handover when the phone is in "auto" mode and has already established a handover strategy.

Then you need to factor in data usage. When any applications sync while your phone is in standby (screen off) if on 2G that sync is going to take longer, and the longer it takes the longer your phone has to stay awake to wait for it to happen, and the radio is on longer transmitting, so more power is used than there might have been on 3G.

The net effect of such a setting is likely to use more power overall.

Regards

Phil

For LRG rom I'm using the deodexed version posted by Itsme_4ucz in the following thread (post #29):

[Nexus 7 General] teh Phil:
Alright, this forum is getting out of hand. We're all excited to receive our new toys, but the rampant speculation and bickering has got to go.

I don't care if you're a Play Store or brick and mortar establishment customer, or how butt hurt you are that you might not get your N7 first and how much Google is "dropping the ball" - post your rants here (that's certainly what the thread has turned into...). I too would like to be up to date with the release, but I do not want to wade through 5,000 posts to find them.

ITT we post updates only! No speculation on your part, just a simple link to a website (I don't care what the Google, Office Depot, or GameStop CS person told you, or how your best friend knows a guy who knows a guy and you have a totally legit tip) with a one or two sentence summary of the facts if you wish.

To sum up the last day or two:

Yes, UPS is the carrier for Play Store orders, and all deliveries are being shipped two-day

Retail stores will sell the 16 Gig model; 8 Gig exclusive to Play Store for now.

Suspected release date for the first wave was July 12th

The Play Store changed the expected shipping date from 2-3 weeks to 1-2 weeks (also see here).

N7 received 12.6 MB OTA update from 4.1 to 4.1.1. Update includes performance tweaks and installs Google Wallet, as well as search suggestions and pinch notification expansion.

The manufacturing cost is $159.25 for the 8 Gig model and $166.75 for the 16 Gig model.

N7 has a Smart Cover feature.

Office Depot and GameStop were told to hold their inventory until further notice.

N7 may infringe Nokia Patent. See here and here

See what I did there? Just the news, no speculation about it. Feel free to debate the updates in the aforementioned thread, linked once again here. If you think this thread is awesome, great. If you think I'm ruining your fun and excitement, fine. But please don't post any of those comments here. Just the news. Please.
[Nexus 7 General] Uh60m Pilot:
Completely agree except one note... I think they have proved that the N7 does indeed have the ability to turn on and off the screen using a magnet. That is no longer a "may". Thanks for cleaning up the thread though!
[Nexus 7 General] teh Phil:
Thanks for the update! OP changed.

Also:

The Verge claims they picked up a Nexus 7 at Adorama in Manhattan. The store froze sales shortly after the post.
[HTC One V] unster:
Hey,

I'm going to change my phone really soon (from Samsung i5700), so as usual I started to dig in the net about phones with Android 4 and so I found HTC One V.

I get used to rooting and wiping phone in just few minutes without any problems or worries - with Samsung i5700.

Here on the other hand, I read that bricking is super easy, rooting takes long time (like preparations to do one), also problems with loading standard soft...

Is it so, because that phone is quite new and development is still in run or is the soft is so complex that I shoudn't really wait for "one-Click-root"? ;)
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
I wouldn't worry about it too much. This is my first Android and I rooted and started flashing within hours.

:P couldn't resist the temptation lol.

There do seem to be a lot of ways to brick this phone, but they're mostly soft bricks, so i wouldn't say it's fragile :D
[HTC One V] GuestK00293:
If your main intention is to play with the phone by flashing custom ROMs, I strongly suggest Galaxy Nexus S or any Google device. It has strong community (read developer) backing and you will have long term support. The big devs focus on Google devices. If you want an inexpensive phone and learn (mostly with few active community members), HTC One V is good.

Another alternative is to look for a used Google phone. It will be inexpensive but still with fairly active developer community - I might do that, keep HTC One V as a reliable backup when my experiments renders the phone useless at times
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
well compared to the spica, the htc is more complex to understand, given that the i5700 had bl unlocked from the start, "s-off" (it didn't even had s-on) easy flashing utility, and as crappy software I can't even imagine, it was a good phone for the understanding of the android, but not for everyday use :)

On the other hand, the V is hTC so rooting is a tad more complex, and we have no solution as of now for s-off, but for the main parts can be flashed or changed. One click root is impossible atm, but you have it with a bit more clicks :). also you will need to use fastboot quite often if you flash like mad anything that comes :).

The V is practicaly brand new, so development has just started, but there are good signs for the future :)
[HTC One V] unster:
well to be honest, my main idea is to get the phone, delete trashy and all other apps that I won't be using.

but as I understand, to do so, I need to root...
[HTC One V] GuestK00293:
No, you do not need root on ics roms to stop bloatware. Just disable them under "manage apps"
[HTC One V] unster:
will I be able to do so even with htc/google aps?
[HTC One V] tranceph0rmer:
Yes, you can disable/force stop any app you wish to hide or stop.
[HTC One V] GuestK00293:
For completeness :

You can disable any system app that comes pre-installed in the system partition. The apps you install on the data partition cannot be disabled but you can uninstall them at will.

Since system partition is read only in non rooted phones, disabling is the only approach.
[HTC One V] unster:
can you please re-read what have you wrote, and confirm that? because that sentence doesn't make any sense to me
[HTC One V] Noctourniquet:
Things will get easier as the phone gets older. This phone is still pretty new, so not many devs have not had a chance to work on it.
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
You can even stop those "trashy apps" in ICS so you don't need to root your phone just for that. freeze is like force stop, so the apps will be there, but will not run (and consume battery and memory), unless you defreeze them. It works even with basic system apps (like the google's).

If you have installed some apps via the market or from SD then they cannot be "freezed" but can be deleted at will.

[Dell Streak 7] timaloud:
Okay so i did something i shouldn't of.

After buying a T-mobile dell streak 7 online, i found out it had been rooted with clockwork recovery mod by dj steve v4.0.1.4. When i tried working with it i found out i couldn't use the phone functions of the tablet so i decided to do a factory reset in the settings. To my dismay the problem only got worse and now when the tablet boots up normally it asks me for a password that wasn't on there before. I read on a thread somewhere that this is because the device is trying to decrypt something but that it's because there's no OS on it. I can still boot up in recovery mode and perform all the options in there.

So i bought a usb cable for it hoping that i would be able to flash it back to factory settings, but now i am unable to get it to work with usb.

I have a win 7 64 bit and i have tried downloading divers from all kinds of places which seem to be the right ones but windows will not allow me to install them and insists that the best ones are installed.

I've downloaded android sdk tools and installed all the components that are pertinent to this version and make (at least i think)

I've tried downloading PDAnet, the pc sync tool that is available on the dell site and that didn't work either. Under fastboot mode on the tablet the driver is installed correctly but still appears as a unknow device and i don't see the fastboot window show up when i plug it in so...

I've literally read hundreds of threads to see if maybe i could do it by placing update.zip files on the sd card and then installing them under CWM, some have worked, some haven't but when i reboot it's still the same.

Please help!!!

You need to grab a NVFLash pack, put device in APX mode, install the APX drivers, and install a complete full restore.
[Dell Streak 7] timaloud:
reply

Thank you so much for taking your time to help.

Ok so i downloaded NVFlash, that i have found to be able to put my device in APX mode i need to hold down the power button and the volume - button at the same time when booting up but that sends me to fastboot. Is this the same as APX ? Sorry i don't know much about this.

Also when you say install the APX drivers, i have not been able to find these, could you send me a link ?
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
I don't mean to be rude or mean, but this is a question that has been answered a hundred times here, please look around and read a bit, we are getting tired of holding baby hands.
[Dell Streak 7] timaloud:
Thanks for your imput

Hey! Thank you for answering. Please don't be too quick to pass judgement, I have read hundreds of threads and i have downloaded all kinds of different drivers, roms, and recovery images. I've followed all the instructions of the related posts but the Tablet's OS wont boot up. I cannot install any .pkg updates because any option i select when i boot it up holding down power and volume + buttons sends me to CWM recovery mod and all the update.zip roms that i have installed this way have made no difference.

I have come to the conclusion that i need to flash a recovery image from the computer but i cannot because all the drivers i have found for it have not worked. My device does not appear as a drive therefore i can't see it in nvflash or even windows for that matter. yesterday i called dell support to see if they had any drivers available that weren't already posted on their site but with no luck.

The reason i'm writing this is because i was hoping someone had a similar problem and could help me, i know you deal with people that don't even take the trouble to look into the other threads every day, but believe me i have.

If you can help i would greatly appreciate it, or point me to what i'm doing wrong Tks.
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
In NVflash or APX mode the S7 doesn't appear as a drive. With your S7 on plugged into your PC, you don't see it as a drive? This should work right out of the box. Although some have reported the manual mentioned Driver. Zip folder is missing.

If hold the Volume + and - button in a plug into your PC, do your hear a beep? If so, you would then go into the device manager, select the APX device and install the drivars from the NVflash download package.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brokentoaster24:
Hey guys,

My beloved nexus s 4g appears to be on It's last leg. After running cm9 stable for weeks without flashing any new roms or kernels it started freezing and locking up randomly. Eventually it started freezing midboot and doing nothing. Sometimes it hung on the splash screen and wouldn't boot. Sometimes it randomly rebooted into recovery out of no where.I tried wiping everything and starting clean, same issue. Most often, it will freeze after being asleep for a while and lock up when I press the power button

I tried running stock, same issues.

I tried relocking and unrooting, same issues.

I tried raising the voltages of clock speeds, same issue.

I have noticed if it's plugged in to a charger, it works perfectly. Any chance It's just a bad battery or something else?

Thanks for any advice guys and gals

Very strange...

RU insured? If so then swap it.

Have u tried to run a logcat to see if it shows anything after reboots?

I think batteries are like $10 bucks or so... or just go to phone store and tell them ur issue and use one if their batteries... but of course you'll need to be back to stock in case they check it

Good luck

Since you can still access the bootloader & recovery, just flash the stock rom back, re-lock & bring it back to the store. You can probably get it repaired or swap it for a new one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gunthy`:
Try going back completely to stock configuration using fastboot. Don't flash anything through the recovery (even better, go back to stock recovery as well!). Also try re-locking when you're done. That way at least you can be sure it's not a software problem. If it does turn out to be the hardware after all, you'll have no choice in getting it repaired or buy a new phone I'm afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sakisds:
Sounds like something messed up with your EFS partition. If you don't have a backup of it, it's likely something you can't repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Never flash radios or recoveries through another recovery. Its always safer if its done through fastboot, the way it was meant to be.

exactly. titanium backup is not supposed to backup that amount of data because it is pointless.

it copies your apps and data from the /data/ partition to the /sdcard partition, but games by gameloft and ea, as well as navigation data is already on the sdcard, no need to have it there twice.

whenever you make a factory reset, you usually format /data/ only and not the sd card (or your titanium backup would be gone as well), so there is really no point to it.

You can just go into settings, there's a "Backup External Data" option, just activate it, and right below set the maximum size of the backup date, I believe the default limit is 32Mb, so if you want Max Payne or so you just need to increase that limit to 1.5Gb or something.
