[General Questions and Answers] chiwou:
Hi,

I'm currently on a Samsung Galaxy S. I really like it, and thanks to all these awesome developers, I even have ICS.

But sometimes it's too slow and it doesn't have enough RAM.

Last week I went to a shop and played with the new Galaxy 3, but it's too big, I can't even dial with one hand, then I tried the iPhone and I liked it, not the OS, the small size and snappy reactions.

So my question is there a new and powerful but small smartphone?

Best with a high resolution display (oled)

Even my current phone is almost to big, but would be okay.

So

3,3inch (iPhone?) - 3,7inch (Galaxy)

Dual core or quad core

1GB ram

16GB memory

High resolution display

ICS and future jelly bean support

Thanks and take care

-Chris

Get a galaxy nexus its amazing, highly developed good specs its awesome!
[General Questions and Answers] chiwou:
But doesn't it have an 4inch display?
[General Questions and Answers] Felimenta97:
Galaxy Nexus has a screen with almost the same size as SGS3...

At 4 inches, I can suggest Xperia P...
[General Questions and Answers] usman_fareed:
yeah nexus s is best in performance and you will get an instant update of new android version not like the other who take alot of time to built a official rom :)
[General Questions and Answers] tny2012:
Samsung Galaxy S II

Yes, Galaxy S III is too big.

Galaxy S II is the perfect choice. It is just a little bit bigger than Galaxy S, but is thinner and lighter.

Also it won the contest of the Best Smartphone of 2011 over iPhone 4S.

Accessories, batteries, covers and cases for Galaxy S II are available for a very small prices everywhere.

It is fast and sexy.

The price is the lowest today (1 year after the introducing on Market).

S II is the best price/quality choice.
[General Questions and Answers] chiwou:
Well bigger is the problem ;) sometimes I even have problems with the Galaxy 1.

Small hands. Not made for current smartphones :)

And nothing in the same regions of an iPhone, small size, dual core and high resolution display?
[General Questions and Answers] Mr.Centurian:
Xperia might be a good choice for you..Small screen and good specs..

Dude, you're lucky to have owned a galaxy S. I'm using an old and slow galaxy SL and I've been really utching to replace it with something newer and better like the galaxy nexus or s2 but I can't. Lol. I think you should consider galaxy nexus, HTC one x

[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
A couple weeks ago, I installed SetCPU to help with battery life. It did great! But, I didn't see the amazing improvement that I thought I would.

So, I did some research and found out about Profiles. Profiles are settings that you can make that will be applied when certain conditions are met.

Below are the profiles that I have created on my Nitro. I have seen 11 to 12 hours of medium use from my phone with these settings. If you have any suggestions on changes, please let me know. I'd like to find the absolute best settings and share them for everybody.

Profile Name: Screen Off

Conditions: Screen Off

CPU Max: 384Mhz

CPU Min: 192Mhz

Governor: powersave

Profile Name: Charging Any

Conditions: Charging Any

[LG Nitro HD] noemtfj:
By setting the profiles base on battery percentage like that, you are sacrificing the speed to improve battery life. It works in some cases but has side-effect in many other cases:

- Firstly, for some tasks that requires high CPU, apparently you need more time at lower speed, so power consumption for CPU is the same but more power needed for longer screen on -> worse battery life

- Secondly, the more profiles you use, the longer it takes for SetCPU to decide and change CPU speed, so the responsiveness is lower

For you screen off profile, if you use powersave governor, your CPU always runs at min speed, so setting the max speed at 384 MHz is meaningless.

For me, the only profile I use is the screen off profile with min = 192MHz, max = 432MHz, governor = ondemand, so that my phone will wake up faster when there's a call (otherwise you will have to wait a little bit before you can sliding Answer/Reject)
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I haven't seen any responsiveness problems... And I'd actually like having a phone that I don't have to charge ever 3 hours over one that is unnecessarily fast.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
His point was that scaling your CPU back so significantly isn't necessarily going to give you better battery life, and may even make it worse. When the phone is running at a slower speed, it takes longer to do certain things, which means your CPU/screen will be turned on for longer. Of course it entirely depends on what you're doing on the phone.

I think you might get just as good battery life by using interactive 1.2GHz all the time. People assume governors like interactive will destroy their battery but you'd be surprised.
[LG Nitro HD] noemtfj:
If you have to charge your phone every 3 hours without SetCPU then I suggest you buy a new phone or new battery rather than playing with SetCPU
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I don't do much with my phone in the way of heavy gaming or video watching. I am going off of the last couple days of having SetCPU enabled and getting almost 15 hours of medium use out of my phone.

It was an arbitrary number.

Does anybody find this kind of post meant to make peoples phones better helpful? It seems like every time I post something that I personally have found to make the Nitro even more awesome gets a tone of comments basically telling me that none of it will ever work. I'm sure that if people would just try the things I post, they would be happy.

my setcpu setting-> uninstall

i found it did more harm than good. jd ultimate handling screen dimming&wifi with simple ondemand gov works much better for me.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
That what I've heard also... But I found that JD ran my battery down in about 6 hours without me even touching it one day.

If you have any suggestions on settings for it, I'd love to give them a try.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
yeah, i guess it's diff for everybody, just like the roms eh, some get great batt perf on 1 and sucky on another and someone has exactly opposite.

anyhoo, my jd ultimate settings are

Status

advanced profile

graphical notification->quickbox

Controls

wifi enabled->wifi preferred

brightness min 20% mid 45% max 150% (gotta get the most of this screen in the sunlight!)

light sensor fast

cpu min 192 mid 918 max 1512

governor ondemand

schedules

none, i also turned off night schedule as i have the phone plugged in during those hours.

triggers

Apps enabled

Configure->configure apps allow on during screen off->pandora

Location enabled

****************i find it makes a world of difference to give jd =>3 days to get it all right.

make sure setcpu is out of the way as well.

do they check this crap when it gets back to where ever? is there any way to unroot/removed cwm without usb?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pisherthefisher:
You CAN unroot it without a usb with the z4root app. Find the apk file and install it, then click unroot.

Edit: are you sure you its the phones problem and not the USB? It sounds like you may not have the USB drivers installed for you computer
[T-Mobile LG G2x] juny51:
Has to retract what I was trying to imply because it wouldn't display right. Basically what I was saying was reinstall the drivers. Maybe even uninstall the old one first. And make sure you are using a data cable. Some USB cables are simply just for charging and won't transfer data which you PC won't recognize it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
doesn't connect to pc. i know the cable and drivers are good cause my g2x works fine. and yes it charges via usb to computer

i know the cable and drivers are good cause my g2x works fine

done the reinstall of drivers to no avail. and once again, i know the cable and drivers are good cause my g2x works fine :)

fukk me! i grabbed the wrong phone and unrooted mine :)

nah well.

edit: her phone is all sorts of dorked up. wouldn't even download the z4 using the QR. and when i finally get it up and running it FC's

guess i'll just take my chances and hope they don't try and get in the bootloader to see cwm :)

edit 2: ok i got it unrooted from here, yet cwm remains. any way to remove that?

ALL partition should be PRIMARY - not LOGICAL.

Backup your data and format it in, then create those partitions in MiniTool Partition Wizard

- EXT3 (primary)

- LINUX SWAP (primary)

If you are restoring from a different ROM I would.

Although if something goes wrong you can then Clear before Restore.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
I do wipe dalvik/cache and reset to factory before restoring to NAND of a different ROM. I am not sure it if helps or not, but I figure there is nothing to lose and it definitely can't make things worse.

Dalvik and cache can be wiped anytime you want anyway... It gets recreated on next boot.

Is your battery also draining quickly since this has started? I noticed the same thing with my photon, and also noticed that the battery started draining rapidly. Went from 13 hrs of casual use to 4 hours of conservative use. It looses 20% per hour even if the screen is off.

I even tried underclocking it to like 250 mhz or whatever. Its driving me nuts.
[Motorola Photon 4G] imhere:
So no lie, my phone started blacking out and wouldnt start up. I finally got pissed and hit it on the table a few times. It booted up and the battery has been draining much MUCH slower. 4 hours and only 15% drained!!! And it isn't running as hot anymore.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redb33s:
Screen Dimming App

I use ScreenDim on a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus and on a Kindle Fire, and it works very well. My Nexus 7 doesn't arrive til later today, so I can't guarantee it will work, but the developer says it works on Jellybean. I like the fact that this app has presets which allow you to easily vary brightness and contrast as lighting conditions change. There is a trial version available. In summation, I recommend this app!

ETA: This app makes it possible to lower brightness below what the device would normally allow, by combining the brightness and contrast adjustments.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metallice:
That will only make the colors/whites darker since it just draws a semitransparent black "sheet" on top of everything.The backlight will be just as strong.

Edit: sorry maybe screen dim does adjust the backlight... maybe I'm thinking of a different app.

OP, you could try rootdim from the play store, as it uses root to lower the backlight more. Not sure if it works wit the 7.

Or changes can be done in the kernel source.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redb33s:
This app has two modes, one which lowers actual brightness, and one which adds a the semitransparent overlay you mention. You can use either or combine them to achieve lower light levels. IIRC, according to the developer, the one which lowers brightness saves battery, while the 'gray sheet' mode does not.

Anyway, since there is a trial version available the op could see if it works.

Previously, I tried another app which only had the semitransparent overlay, and did not find it as effective.
