[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengpo:
I was looking the screenshot posted before and I was wondering if it was possible that the battery drain issue was caused by an application (ie : Google maps ou something like this) which needs a constant link through wifi connection ? What do you think ? :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN1:
No problems here either.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zapzog:
I initially had the battery drain problem (P6810, UK ICS). Solved by leaving wifi on, and also putting it into airplane mode. Wifi still works fine in airplane mode - does anyone know what it is supposed to do?

Also, have noticed that my Antutu score has dropped from ~6900 on GB to ~4200 on ICS.

The performance doesn't seem much different to me - I was using Go launcher HD on GB, which worked great.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heelerdog:
Airplane mode, wifi still working...

Airplane mode kills my wifi, same setup as yours.... strange? airplane

should

kill wifi, it kills all radios (wifi, BT, 3G) thats what it is there for...

All I did for ICS was make a backup with CW and then PC Odin for install, no factory reset, no cleared cache, nothing else, all went smooth and ICS is quicker, smoother and everything I had on the unit app-wise is all still fine...

Here is a screenshot showing this wifi problem. Yes leaving wifi on full time dramatically helps overall but if the sleep actually worked the battery would be even better.

Also, that is with absolutely nothing running i only have 3 entries under battery: Android OS, Screen, Tablet idle.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyjack72:
ICS has improved my battery life

I always have wifi on. I went away for the weekend - Friday morning to Monday morning - and didn't need to charge.

I'm using Smart Screen Off withy a cover, so maybe this has helped, but this is significantly better than my battery life with HC.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cymagnus:
You guys on any 3rd party launchers? I have installed Apex and found that it somehow consumes more power.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 九千.:
I use GO Launcher HD and found no significant power drain there. I'm not sure about Apex, but some launchers use live elements heavily that you should be well aware.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugsy:
If you're still having trouble with battery life I would definitely suggest the reboot as someone mentioned earlier. Mine was draining quite quickly and I believe it was related to not properly ejecting a card. Did a reboot and my battery life is significantly better. As an example, overnight I dropped 30% with wifi set to be off during sleep. Today, after the reboot, and in the same amount of time, but with 30 additional minutes of screen on time I've only dropped 6%. Either the wifi set to not go off, the card issue or a combination of both was significantly killing the battery as mentioned in multiple posts.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick777:
I also had battery life issues when I moved to ICS. I changed the wifi sleep settings to "always on" and rebooted. Voila, battery issue fixed. With wifi on, I lose about 1% an hour. With Wifi off, I'm losing about 0.5% an hour.

Previously I was losing about 5% an hour.

Thanks for the tips! ICS is a nice improvement over Honeycomb.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengpo:
That's exactly what I did ! Thanks !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] komadori:
To me, the power loss seems to be specific to the 'wifi off while sleeping' mode. With wifi on, I get very little power drain, with wifi off I get even less power drain (as expected), but with wifi set to go off while sleeping, the drain is so quick that the battery is flat within a day, with no more than 2 hours of use in that period. And the ICS upgrade pushed out in the UK today does not seem to have improved that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choypaul:
I have a battery issue which i never had when HC was still installed on my tab 7.7. Now that i have ICS, i wonder what's causing it? To give you a little background.. here's what i have.

I have a CPU SPY installed on my device. Everytime the device is at 97-98% deep sleep state, it can lasts 1-2 weeks of standby/idle time. No issues with that.

BUT for some reason after using it, and checking again my device after a couple of hours or so, it would drain around 40-50% battery sometimes even more. :confused:

CPU SPY shows that deep sleep state is at 60% and the 200mhz is already @ 40-50%. Checked all background apps running but didn't find anything unusual. Where else can i check? Pretty sure there's something running in the background but can't spot which one is it. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkweksl:
You may need BetterBatteryStats to see what's stopping your device in getting deep sleep. Clearing program settings and caches may help.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choypaul:
is this for free bro? if so, i'll download it and check.

oh crap.. just checked the app and its not free.. lol
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Josvaz:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkweksl:
There's a thread for it and the apk is free.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choypaul:
still the same issue... everytime i check cpu spy and the 200mhz is at 15-20%, my battery starts to drain... :(

anyone can help me solve this issue? :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] judgefish:
A solution that makes ICS usable again is to install an app to actually turn off Wifi in stand-by. There are a few to choose from but I use the free "Wifi Timeout" app that does just that.

Pure stand-by time increases to several days.

(P6800 - Airplane mode, No auto syncs )

Now, there still seems to be problems with some apps, Opera Mobile, that keeps the CPU awake... ICS incompatibility I suppose.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] choypaul:
my wifi is always turned off. not sure what's draining my battery. everytime after watching a movie via mxplayers/movo players, checking CPU SPY after a few hours, i can see 200mhz shoots up to 20%. deep sleep at less than 80%. :(

i would expect my deep sleep state always at 95% above. :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vvyymm:
4.0.4 here.

This is just fkin nightmare. My sgs2 eating about 4-5% per night or 8 hours. And this...this...weird device 14-16% with wifi turned off, airplane mode, mobile data off, no background programms, no live wallpaper, NOTHING! This is just ridiculous and beyond my understanding. I have no ideas what else can be done :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LBN1:
Skyfire rom which is a tweaked stock rom, also has a battery drain due to the wi-fi bug. Best workaround for me was to use an app to turn off wi-fi completely when screen off. I'm using 2x battery, and that has cured the issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fjuniper:
I had enjoyed very good standby battery life on the original stock 3.2 ROM, so was very disappointed when I went to P6810XXLPL_P6810OXALPL_XEU when it would go flat overnight. So I am delighted that I found this advice - I went to 'keep wifi on during sleep' last night and left it asleep for 15 hours - it had only dropped to 95%. I can't say that it makes any sense, but THANKS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psmart:
Hi

I had exactly the same experience, solved in the same way - by making sure wifi is really off during sleep. Thanks for the help everyone, it was getting me really annoyed that the ics tab would drop 3% battery life per hour while asleep. Now the sleep drain is negligable.

ever since ive had my OneX the Homescreen has never rotated when ive turned the phone round everything else has but not the homescreen but yesterday its started rotating i havent changed anything so why would it just start?
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
What Rom are you using? Most custom roms have that feature.
[HTC One X] familyhousing:
I've seen this a few times too - perhaps 3 or 4 times in the last month. Not sure what causes it but I think a particular app triggers it - perhaps HTC Watch? I also occasionally get a weird (possibly linked) bug where I can bypass the lock screen when the notification bar becomes visible on the lock screen.
[HTC One X] sharpey:
latest stock ROM
[HTC One X] shree.cse:
I don't think the mods will work on stock odexed rom. May be you are lucky to have the feature on stock unrooted phone.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J_M_V_S:
Hello fellow uers,

I'm using TweetyPeety's ROM "PIKACHU EDITION 2.4.20b" and for the first time I'm trying multiboot (I just got an microSD 32gb class 10 card!). I've succesfully installed "touchbootmenuV2.0beta_multibootV0.7-20120618-signed.zip" from the Multiboot thread. I've also downloaded the fsimages and placed in the sd card under "/sdcard/multiboot/jb". I'm trying to install Quarx's CM10 ROM. I'm using a MB525 Red Lens Defy.

Then I do as follows:

1) Get into recovery (now w/touch interface)

2) Go into multiboot

3) Select Recovery

4) Select the JB virtual system and get into recovery

5) Install zip

At this point the progess bar hangs up at about 75-80% of the process and nothing happens no matter how much I wait. The only thing I can do at this point is remove the battery.

So my question is...what am I doing wrong here? Perhaps I'm using the wrong base ROM?

Thank you very much in advance!

EDIT:

Managed to flash CM10 now. As I was using GB kernel (MIUI Pikachu) I needed to flash the Defy+ version.

Now I'm unable to boot into CM10...Boot configured to 2nd-boot and Multiboot to boot CM10. On every reboot it goes to nand rom. Any ideas?

Thanks!

EDIT 2:

Solved! Had to choose 2nd-system as Boot. :D

Was wondering if there were any zips available for changing small things like the app drawer or the power off drop down and if so where to find them?
[Motorola Droid X2] LordRalh3:
The app drawer is usually modded by your launcher
[Motorola Droid X2] oathkeeper:
Yeah I know the launcher includes mods to the app drawer but there has to be a way to do it without changing the launcher each time........

You should search for comparison websites. There are many websites out there which displays multiple websites side-by-side in frames. You can use such websites, meanwhile..

Here's a mod for the Mms.apk, extracted from CM7 Rom.

The biggest feature, and the reason I modded this, is to get 160 characters capacity per SMS for non-English languages, and not 60-70, with extra costs for lengthy messages.

Languages that should get 160 characters capacity:

↳ Greek

↳ Czech

↳ Spanish

↳ French

↳ Polish

↳ Portuguese

↳ Slovak

Thanks theos0o for 160 chars mod src/smali.

I got 2 versions for you.One has smiley on keyboard and the other new line support instead.

How to install:

Use ES Explorer (or any other root file manager) and copy/paste Mms.apk to /system/app

Reboot your phone

PS. Dont forget to rename the attachments to Mms.apk :p

If Mms.apk get any official cm7 update i will update this threat too​
[Desire Themes and Apps] djsalvatore:
modify another mms.apk

You have done a very good job mate! I just want to ask for a little help, as I want to modify a themed cm7 mms.apk that I have , in order to have 160 characters length for greek chars. I decompiled the apk, however I'm new to modding and don't know where to look at. Thanks in advance :)

Been a while since ive posted a question here.

Used search function first, and pre-thread suggestions to no avail.

As of 7/18/12 - Does anyone know if spen support is adopted into any of our CM9, AOKP/CP builds? Ive been having some minor issues with the current release Im running, but I had to use the spen just yesterday for a screenshot that nothing else would work on. I cant justify leaving my ROM without proper spen support elsewhere.

Thank you for your replies and insight.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Nothing as of yet to my knowledge, and I've scoured the forums pretty hard over the last week. I honestly think we are seeing a huge push for JB right now, and merging those commits is top priority...IMHO

Of course, thats not to say that CM, AOKP, wont include some type of support later, but until the JB work is solid, I doubt it will happen. I've reverted back to a rooted stock rom for my S-stuff for now, at least until we start to see some pen action brewing.

And I really cant say how much TouchWiz will be pulled to support it either...maybe none.....IMHO as it's a Samsung thing, and may be an intellectual property issue...

Sure would be nice to see CM10 with s-pen......(dream)....for now.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lastdeadmouse:
Dagr8's king kang does have spen support, however no gestures. Screenshot can be added to the power menu, and I believe power+volume down will ss as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
If it's the stock S-Pen apps that your inquiring about, then no.you won't see them supported by CM9, AOKP and probably CM10 as well. From my understanding, the Samsung S-Pen apps require Touchwiz in order to operate. Since CM9 doesn't support Touchwiz it doesn't have the appropriate framework for the Samsung apps to run. You can however still use non-Samsung 3rd party apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] camaroz28:
When you say it doesn't support gestures I assume you mean anything related to holding the button correct? Do you know if the S Pen pressure sensitivity feature is still supported, in a 3rd party app that doesn't require touchwiz of course. I wonder if it would be possible to still take advantage of the button in that ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
There are apps in the store that claim to be present sensitive so I imagine it must still be possible to take advantage of some of the S-pen functionalities.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
The button and gestures as well as the pressure ARE the specific s-pen functions...

the s-pen will always work to register a touch, and always has, on EVERY Rom...they just perceive it as your finger, or an ordinary stylus.

And the volume down and power to screen shot will be in every aosp Rom...as that function was added into ics from the start by Google.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VoluntaryMan:
Papyrus beta has pressure sensitivity support and button support. It's a free drawing app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] modmyphone:
As does Markers (my daughters favorite) and a few others. What you miss by not being able to use the Samsung apps is the way they are all linked through the framework. Example: being able to write a Note and have is directly added to your calendar. AFAIK, there are no 3rd party apps that work in that fashion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tyler79durdan:
Button support would be nice in aosp/cm* i.e. screenshot and pressure. I thought source/kernel would allow these ports to happen...

Also pen+picture editing in aosp gallery by default would be nice also. Id like to just open a pic and click edit and be able to use the pen without all the hoops to jump through.

[EVO Shift 4G General] c00ller:
One thing you will learn about Sense and AOSP is that they are completely independent of each other, and you can't take one of them and change it to other. The technical details as to why are along the lines of with a Sense ROM, all that Sense stuff and functionality is built into its frameworks and can't just be "removed". Similarly, it can't just be added to an AOSP ROM. It's an unfortunate truth :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Veruvir:
As a person who has had two phones stolen I can tell you one thing - there needs to be a password on the use of flashing. First I had a galaxy note, which has Samsung locate. But hardware reset saw to that. Second I had a CSL Spice, knowing about hardware reset, I set about finding an un resettable program. In comes avast (brilliant though it is).

Two criticisms, first is its method of retrieval. Sms. Yes, sms. The thief has thrown your sim card in a bush, but in order to remotely access your phone, avast smses your sim card. Classic. Try it, steal your own phone, or get a mate to, it's so tragic its funny. Go on, back up your apps, take out your sd card, and be your own thief. Second issue, obviously is flashing. Avast hides on the partition, but this is wiped and remade based upon your new OS. Bye bye avast.

So really there are two key solutions: password protection on the flashing access. Set by the user, changeable only by those the user gives it to (engineers/new owners). And the other is set a hardware code like IMEI on accessing not just a phone network, but also Google Play registration, and Samsung /other apps registration. That way the code can be flagged by the owner. Actually thirdly is an email address which appears upon failed flashing password attempts. To remind the thief that he can still take the brick of plastic and metal (and gps) back.

I'd like all new owners to be informed of what to do upon loosing their phone, codes to note down etc. As I feel this is not done enough. I'd love to start a push to get Samsung and other droid phones as well as Google Play to start this and maybe we can finally end phone theft.

Anyone think a petition is possible?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mad383Max:
How were your phones stolen? I have never had one of the 40+ phones i or my immediate family have owned (knock on wood here as i probably just jinxed myself) stolen.

In my case it could be just locale, but i have worked in some pretty rough areas with high crime rates so i could just be lucky or plain diligent with what i do with my phone when not in use.

Not being disrespectful here, just seeking enlightenment on what behaviours/actions leads to them being stolen to see how it is different to my experience.

As to your proposal, not a bad idea. One thing i can think of is that like the locked bootloaders that were/are put on some phones, somebody will most likely find an exploit/hack to get around it. They almost always do. Could be talking out my arse on that as i am not knowledgeable with this but they always seem to find a way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] TheMrRoxtar:
but this dexpends where you go and therefore stuff as such.....if i were to stay home alot im sure the 40+ phones ive had would hardly get stolen as well. saying this I've had to phones stolen as well and its not fun. i would sign
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I do like the Imei idea. I've never had a phone stolen. I've worked in gyms, restaraunts, public schools, indoor reffing, etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Black6spdZ:
depends how tech savy the thief is.. if they perform an Odin flash then only thing preventing use of the phone on ATT is IMEI blacklisting. Couple of things come to mind that might help. If they pick up the phone and try to use it as-is without switching SIMS or factory reset Plan-B can help. If either of these is done then only thing that will help would be something such as a preconfigured Plan-B app in the CWM image to "phone home" after SIM change and factory reset.
