I had the same issue, until yesterday. It just started working, out of the blue. The only thing I did differently was that I switched from badass to SmartassV2 with Rom Toolbox, but I really doubt this has anything to do with carrier billing.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floydroider:
Hi, I would like to know the best way to measure my battery health. For about a month my battery starts to drain fast. I know my phone is already old and battery don't handle the same charge, but I have recharged the phone all night long and in ten minutes using wifi to just update some apps the battery just gone.

It is just ridiculous as I don't use any different configuration.

To be more specific, my phone configurations are:

- Cyanogenmod 7.2 by vo-1 (31/06/2012) deodexed by me;

- Firekernel Unnoficial OC (22/07/2012), CPU governor: smartassv2, max 787, min 245;

- Adrenaline Engine 4.2b;

One more thing. I was facing the same problem with blackhawk kernel.

I just think a battery can't die a sudden.

Could anyone help me with this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatdude02:
There are a few things that can be causing this, but the first thing that you can try is to wipe your battery stats using "BatteryCalibration" app. After flashing a few things, it's best to do this. I had the same thing happen after flashing my third ROM or so.

After that, it basically comes down to the apps and widgets that you have running. Shut them off with a task manager so they don't end up draining your battery, but it might not be that either....

The only other thing that I can think of is that I heard in another thread (I really wish that I could find it again :() that the ace has a motherboard fault that causes it to drain faster than usual.

Other than that, all I can say is that the Ace generally has poor battery life, and it really does suck, but I don't really know how much more you can do. You could try flashing a stock-light ROM and see if it does the same thing (wipe battery stats too). But I would say is that you should try wiping the stats and see if anything changes.... Other than that.... I`m out. Hopefully it helps, and if it doesn`t, you might need to take it in (Service Center or wherever you bought the phone).

Maybe try searching in other threads (as it is a common problem) but besides that, goodluck :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floydroider:
I forgot to mention but I already did the calibration, using the app and manually to see if I could get different results. :(

I even tried to force a better charge, charging the phone off, waiting till 100%, unplugging and recharging, till the phone gets 100% again.

Ace's battery isn't good, but a month ago my phone was holding 12-14 hours without charge, using wifi a lot, that's why I think something is wrong.

Well, I'm flashing the original stock rom to see if get some change.

Thanks about the motherboard information, this is new for me :good:

Gonna see tomorrow if the battery holds better with the original stock ROM.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wiping the battery stats is a myth. All it does it clear the battery usage screen!

Android has a built in tool which can try to check the health of your battery.

Open the dialer

type *#*#4636#*#*

then go to battery information

Look at battery health.

Feedback

Just to give a feedback, my battery was really damaged. I bought a new one, stock because I didn't find other, and the phone now easily last a day, even using wifi a lot.

But that's not the only reason why I posting here again, I want to share how my old battery is. Comparing with new one, I realized that the old battery had stuffed something about 5 mm o.O

If you pay attention, you'll see the small deformation.

Don't know yet what could have cause this, but I think it was heat and bad recharges...

Thanks for the help :good:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QNBT:
I'd recommend you to use SetCPU to prevent this on your new battery. Set up a profile with sound notification when it hits around 40degree, and underclock it at the same time.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lobotomy:
I faced a similar problem. Battery was hardly six months old when it died but it was my fault. I was running a wi-fi tether and continuously charging it for about two days. :silly:

Got a new one under warranty. Been a year with the new battery and just recently facing problems with it. 3G just sucks the life out of it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatdude02:
OK I just got 3g on my phone (yay for promotional 6gb plans!). But yeah, the 3g definitely kills my battery. I used to be able to go two or three days with very little use. Now I can only go one day even with standby with my 3g enabled. As long as I can put my phone on to charge before it dies, its all good to me :p

Finally with my 3g going, I understand everyone else's pain with the battery life haha
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Zephyron:
Just recently picked up the Cygnett Crystal Clear Case which can be found at their main site (currently out of stock) or at your local Fry's or Fry's online store.

http://us.cygnett.com/products/cases-and-armbands/crystal-clear-pc-hard-case-galaxy-s3.html

http://www.frys.com/product/7162322

I apologize in advance for the crappy pictures, I dont have a better camera.

When I got this case, I was mainly going for one thing, looks. I love the color of my pebble blue and wanted a case that would protect my phone from minor everyday scratches while still showcasing its looks. This case does just that as the plastic is clear and the color of my phone shows through very well. Additionally, the case has a slightly raised lip around the side and part of the corner. It is raised as high the width of a penny which ensures if you like to put your phone face down on surfaces, the screen wont get scratched by stray sand and miscellaneous crap. What I also like about the case is that the bottom does not have a raised lip which makes it feel so much nicer when Im pressing the soft capacitive buttons or the home button. The cutouts for the power and volume rocker are big enough that you can press them easily without forcing it, yet not too big where you can accidentally press them whenever you pickup your phone or pull it out of a mount (happened quite often when I had no case). The cutouts for the camera, speaker, and flash fits very well with 2-3 mm of space around the speaker and flash while the camera has it right up to the metal ring. The feel of the case feels (smoothness) is almost identical to the phone which I also like since I like turning the phone in my hands when Im bored.

There are some annoyances though. Im not sure why maybe it is the material the case and the phone is made out of, but there will be spots on the back after putting on the case where the case and the battery cover touches will show small splotches, almost like it is wet, but it isnt because I have tried wiping and cleaning it multiple times and it is the same. The splotches appear at random spots when you take off the case and put it back on. I cant really capture it since my camera sucks. It's a small thing and I can get over it pretty quickly but if you are OCD about those kinda things, this might bother you like hell. Also I am not sure if it is how the case was made or if this was a returned merchandise (this was the last one at frys) but the case has minor scuffs and lines going up and down. You cant really see it directly but when light shines on it, it shows.

Overall I would definitely recommend this case if you're looking for an aesthetically pleasing case that doesnt hide your phone and you know you wont drop your phone from too high up. Since I dont think this case will protect your phone from a bad fall... might help but definitely wouldnt try it.

So i was trying to reroot my Kindle Fire with the latest version on KFU. My pc was not connected to the internet (didnt notice until it was too late.) The root failed so i disconnected the kindle. Right now the kindle is stuck in the Kindle logo with no animation. Can anyone please help me fix it?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
Cmon guys, any help?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
KFU fully configured? USB driver installed? Kindle recognized?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
i already rooted the kindle before with it. it should be all configured. The problem is that KFU (or the PC) wont recognized that the KIndle is connected.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
I would go to the thread in development and check it out. I originally had an issue the first time I rooted my kindle in May, and found the best answers right in that thread. Is the failure that it is stuck? Have you tried powering it down (hold power button) and then power on again?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
It failed rooting so i disconnected it. It is now stuck in the KIndle Fire Startup screen but it doesnt have the animation. I havent tried turning it off because i am scared i will mess it up more.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
I mean, how do you know it failed rooting? Did the console indicate this?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
yeah basically, it said the the rooting failed and told me to press any key to continue.

i just tried turning it off and on but it didnt help
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
It turns off and then goes to yellow kindle? You may need to get a factory cable, which tells the kindle to fast boot, allowing you to push fff and twrp onto the kindle. I have read about shorting 2 pins, but I do not know this. Search the board for kindle factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
yellow kindle? is that The grey and orange kindle fire logo?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
leave it connected and simply power the device off and back on then check status in kfu
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ixthusdan:
Yeah. It has been a long time since I have seen it! I have a blue kindle that changes to EyeCandy graphic. You kindle boot sector is messed up; completing the installation of fff and twrp is pretty important.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
I fixed it guys. Thanks for the help. I had to reinstall the drivers and reboot the kindle. After that I had to change the bootmode to normal and it restarted.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Projectsk26:
Since I cant post in the development thread and ive seen all these people posting about the backlight not working on the buttons all you have to do is turn on automatic brightness for display and they will turn on. Hopefully someone will read this from that thread and put it over there.

This is not a permanent fix. It only works while screen is on. You have to do this every time you turn the screen on and it is extremely annoying.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pedroisweird:
and there's the fail haha. just wait for the end of the day today and there should be a fix out through either euroskank's cherry picked nightly builds or else steve himself. it's been fixed on the sprint version already so its just a matter of waiting for our turn.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Got a call from Gamestop today to come pick up my Nexus 7, originally I was schedule to receive it on the third wave around Aug 8th.

I let the dude know I didn't want to pick it up due to all the problems I'd been reading about and was wanting to wait it out for the second & third waves.

My question is this: Are these second and third waves going to be any different from a manufacturing standpoint? Or can we expect to endure the same problems most first wave users are being plagued with? Google's aware of all these problems, but are they doing anything different to amend them? I'm reeeeally not trying to risk picking up a defective device and have to go through the whole defective unit return.
[Nexus 7 General] Deleted member 4046862:
I am extremely interested in any professional opinions on this too (quotes from employees?)

Mine is currently reserved at gamestop, waiting for that call/text.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
One more thing... I was told by the Gamestop employees that any defective exchanges would be done from the stock in-store (wouldn't this just be more of the same wave of defective tablets?) and can only be done within 30 days and after that you will have to go through the manufacturer.... Would this be Asus or Google? And are we better off purchasing through the Google Play store themselves? In the unfortunate case of the unit going bad after the 30 day grace period is up from Gamestop.
[Nexus 7 General] roush611:
From the conversation I had with the representative when I was doing warranty exchange on mine, anything after the initial wave of devices should not have the screen creek issue. They are making sure all the screens are secured properly now. The other reason I was returning mine was because of the terrible screen flicker, he did not touch on that and said, "he has only heard about a few cases of the screen flicker."

So it looks like the screen creek should be fixed for sure but I am not sure about the other issues.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Yeah, the guy at my Gamestop was completely clueless to any of these device problems. I'm pretty worried about dead pixels, even if they're not showing up right away, but down the road. I'm seriously considering getting back my deposit and waiting for Google to address these issues and let us know they've been fixed. Because at this point, I feel that it's almost like playing russian roulette with these early units. :/
[Nexus 7 General] sway40:
Just go get the damn thing, if there's a problem then take it back or call Google, it's got a one year warranty for that stuff. Everyone still waiting on theirs from Google, and you won't go pick yours up now wtf, I got mine from GameStop a week and a half ago and it's fine. Stop being a vagina and go get it and have fun with it.

[Nexus 7 General] dparrothead1:
First, you must keep in mind that more people are going to a forum to complain than compliment. That's just human nature.

I believe the screen flicker has more to do with your wifi connection than the device.

I pre ordered mine through Google so I guess that would make it first wave and it's a near perfect as a tablet can be.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
The most popular issue is screen lifting on the left portrait side. Other complaints are nowhere near as common.

After I returned my 16 with screen separation to Sam's, I called Google CS twice this weekend to find out what's being done about this, in order to make a better informed decision about buying another one. Both reps I spoke with were aware of the issue but said that it was very rare, a bad batch.

Although I knew that they were understating the frequency of this problem, I did decide to order the 8. My experience with the first one was overwhelmingly positive, and I missed having it. Mostly it was the rationalization that if I order from the Play store I can exchange it as many times as I need to.

If I was aware of the information that would be posted Monday, I probably would have waited.

In case you missed it, someone disassembled theirs with a heat gun and gave us the current working theory for why this is happening.

You really should read his analysis, but I'll summarize. There is a ledge around the inside of the frame. It is covered with double-sided tape. The display rests on this ledge and relies on its adhesion to stay seated. The ledges for the top and bottom sides of the device are the widest (12 and 16 mm), and the right ledge is 6.5 millimeters.

The left ledge is the only side that isn't a constant width. The top and bottom portions of the left ledge are 3 mm, but there is a middle portion that is even narrower to make room for the touchscreen input cable. It's only 1.5 mm wide.

Since this is the common point of separation, it seems likely that the adhesive on the left ledge is not strong enough to fasten the display to such a narrow contact area.

Full credit to Simon Haddow (nexus7dude) for this information and these images.

If he's right, the cause of left side screen lifting is present in all units. The obvious possible solutions are to either redesign the frame, which would be disastrous, or to increase the strength of the adhesive being used on this ledge.

Some people are being told by CS that it was a gluing problem. If that's true, new units should have a stronger bond, at least along the left ledge.

My order will be delivered tomorrow. I'm not optimistic that they've already made these changes to outgoing units.

But at the same time, as long as Google honors its role in Play store warranties, I expect to be happy with this purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Good info. Ill be keeping an eye on mines down the road. If it eventually lifts in the area shown, then ill just send it in to get stronger bond applied. I ordered through playstore and haven't noticed anything. But that's what warranties are for. This is something that will easily be covered of it does happen. I can see why some units are having this happen. Based on your summary and the pics.
[Nexus 7 General] rman726:
Agree 100%. People complain about the problems. They don't complain about fine units. I'm sure many many more people have good units than bad ones. And if you happen to get unlucky... return it! Some people....
[Nexus 7 General] ikn0wagh0st:
Just talked to a Google rep. We have a 15 day "grace period" where we can get facilitated exchanges through Google. After that we hhave to deal with Asus.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Haven't they been telling people that warranties for Play store purchases will be handled by Google for the first year?

I hope you're trolling.

I just picked up my N7 at FutureShop this morning and everything seems to be fine.. been watching the transformer movie to kill the batttery and nothing blew or anything..

Of course I do too have the same problem with the screen being slightly lifted.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Just got off the phone. He reassured me that this was absolutely not the case and that Play store orders will be handled by Google for 12-month warranty claims.

I asked him if there was any documentation of this, and he said that he would send me something.

I haven't found the warranty on ASUS website yet, but I did find the Nexus 7 warranty on a Google support page. It looks disturbingly like an edited version of the above.

http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2662734
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Exactly my point in all this.

How is everything fine, yet your screen is being lifted? Lol. That's unacceptable.

--

Big key words are "if purchased from Google Play". So for everwhere else selling it, Asus handles the warranties after the 30 day "grace period" ie: Gamestop? Which is what I was originally told by the employee. Wonder how well they are with this whole scenario. Might just grab my deposit back and hold out a month or so and re-order from the Play Store when they've had a chance to work out these kinks. If anything, I feel like re-sellers won't be getting these newly fixed units as quick as well as the guarantee of the 12 month warranty from Google themselves, rather than try to deal with ASUS.
[Nexus 7 General] qwerty123321:
Same here,

I've bought 2, 1 from staples and 1 from Future Shop. Mainly it is the screen flicker problem. If ONLY google would smarten up and RELEASE A ****ING STATEMENT and let us KNOW if some of these issues could or will be fixed in a future patch!

[Nexus 7 General] KCHawkeye02:
Wtf is wrong with you? So a couple of people come to a forum to cry about a device issue, while others stay off the forums and love the device, and that makes you want to not buy the N7? Toughen up buttercup.
[Nexus 7 General] qwerty123321:
You have to understand, It is a huge hassle to have to go out spend your money, buy a unit come home, find out its broken/defective and then having to go back and return it.

The poor guys got 3 defective units 3 separate times. How would that make you feel? You go outside you buy a product, you expect it to work out of the box. How would you feel if u go out and buy say a TV and all 3 times those 3 TVs u bought from 3 different places arrive defective thus requiring u to waste more time and return the defective products?
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Your definition of "a couple of people" is pretty far off base in this case.
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
What is it with some people and their total inability to get a sense of perspective. It it an American thing? Perhaps sub-standard schooling, or low intelligence?

Google will have sold millions of Nexuses without any issues at all, so why pick up on the few that do have issues and assume it's such a massive percentage...
[Nexus 7 General] Glencairn:
Easy tiger. :cyclops:

I sincerely hope your N7 (you do have one I assume) stays flaw free and you don't need to visit the forum for help and advice or to 'vent' your frustrations
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
So condescending Pete, take a deep breath and relax.

There's enough people reporting issues for it to be a considerable percentage happening worldwide.
