[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
thanks, I will.

I know that in standby mode with wifi on and 4G off, my battery drains about 1% per hour. with 4G on (no wifi connection), ~5% per hour.

once factoring in some moderate usage, that drops down quite significantly.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
OK, as promissed, here are pictures after 11hrs. Noticed my screen time is more than 50%.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
Looks good. But will need to see a comparison to without the app.

But I did download and install it. Will see how we do tomorrow.

tappin' that....
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Haha, seems like to need a lot of lucks!:)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Actually, you didn't include your screen on time at all. Your screen's percentage of battery use was over 50%, though. Including your actual screen on time would help when comparing battery usage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
well, this app was a major fail for me. after 4 hours, down to 61%. it blocks what I need (google syncs such as mail, calendar, photos, drive, music, etc). so if someone sends me an appointment, I will not receive it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tazer2death:
I don't have any problem with Juice defender. But I guess it isn't for everyone. I just use it so I don't have to worry about manually switching back and forth between 4g and wifi as I go around throughout the day.

I turned off 4g recently to try to improve my horrible battery life (just got 4g in my area too :D). It wasn't a huge difference but what really changed it for me was to stop overclocking. I really don't see much lag anyways and it didn't help with the apps I wanted so fixes fine for me.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
regarding Wifi, I have found that editing the build.prop file to adjust the wifi interval scan helps dramatically. I changed my 1800 (once every 30 minutes). now I leave wifi and 4G on all the time with no significant battery drainage.

but I have found that these so-called battery saving apps just simply cut off mobile data or "auto-sync".
[Verizon Droid Charge] cnoevl21:
This app was a huge fail for me. Back to the antutu battery saver i go.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
antutu was a fail for me too. so was "easy battery saver"

trying out juice defender again. I think I'm okay with mobile data turning on/off periodically. JD seems to do this nicely. I also like how JD turns on mobile data when the screen is unlocked.

however, I'm thinking that this could be done via a build.prop edit of some kind. essentially, what I would like to do is:

if WiFi is disconnected and screen is off/locked, turn on mobile data for 1 minute every 30 minutes, if WiFi is connected, turn off mobile data and keep wifi connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndroidGraphix:
Is anyone else getting this error when using the xda application or Tapatalk?

Good bye HTC Rezound, hello Galaxy S3!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] enohand:
which error would that be?

it tends to be helpful for the people to help you, if:

1) you use a descriptive thread title

2) actually post the error you are referring to :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmcfalls:
Ok, I'm on my 5th GNEX (Verizon) because of dropped signal issues. I keep getting a .10 version and am tired of trying to get a .09 version (the .09 versions do not seem to suffer from the dropped signal issues). So, I've decided to buy a .09 version from the web.

My question is this...are the device warranties tied to the phone's serial number, or to me? In other words, say my current phone serial number is 123456789 and I purchase a new one with serial number 987654321. Say that second phone craps out...am I still covered under warranty because my original warranty hasn't expired? Or will they check the serial number against their database to see if that particular phone is still under warranty?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Tied to the phone I think. It's only reasonable.

Pressed from my Maguro
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
When I was on the phone with Verizon I was trying to get a Dinc2 (lol). They wouldn't offer it so I told the rep that I would just buy it from a 3rd party. He made it very clear that, with Verizon, purchasing a phone from a third party would indeed void your warranty and that phone would not be covered.

Ended up calling back and talking to another rep who got me set up with the nexus!

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] yousef8824:
is there a way or a tweak to make galaxy y stock shutdown faster????:confused:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] thirdzcee:
There is a way, its opening the back case and removing battery. It switches off instantly afterwards... hahahah... just kidding bro... i dont know but the fastest rom to ever shutdown i have tested is cm7, switches off in seconds after tapping power off

Maybe if you have few apps and services running in background it will make it shutdown fast
[About XDA developers] rsdza:
As a new user I just have to ask; why is the use of file hosts so common for things like RUUs?

It seems that in a community as large as this there would be plenty of people willing to seed torrents and it would make for far quicker downloads.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like torrents are perfectly suited to the task.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
All I know is that torrents are riddled with viruses. That's why I'll never use a torrent these days.

[About XDA developers] bitpushr:
What makes you think that your downloads aren't also riddled with viruses? If it comes from a XDA recognized user, a torrent is just as safe.

If you're talking about a file that you get off of a random search engine, then I agree with you!
[About XDA developers] mrlakadaddy:
Anyone can set up an torrent and mark it under a recognized user.
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
I know that downloads I do can indeed be riddled with them aswell, but in my experience, I've found that torrents have had more viruses and more damaging viruses detected, at that.

I'm not saying they're all the same though.

[About XDA developers] devwithzachary:
Maybe you should stop downloading dodgy torrents?

I have in the past maintained torrent threads for downloads and people love them. The threads are now being mangered by other users and many people still use them.

Torrents are a very good option and i think more people should embrace them.
[About XDA developers] dwibbles33:
I think they should move to torrents more too. Faster downloads and no waiting for a hosting site. Torrents have been improperly labeled as a surefire way to get infected when the exact opposite is true. You can see what files are included in the torrent you are downloading before you start. Torrents were also originally made to distribute Linux distros faster and without the hosting. Torrents are amazing and should be utilized more often.
[About XDA developers] Georges2251:
But people will only download a torrent if it is featured in the OP. Nobody is dumb enough to download something that has the power to make their phone unusable without doing some research.

-

I'm totally here for this, and I have an idea to make it effective: or a developper should first upload to a host, then build a userbase to download the updates via torrent. Since any new rom won't get immediate user support, the updates should get people going seeding since a more stable release equals more users (thus more seeds).
[About XDA developers] Kavrocks:
I have never gotten a virus from a download or torrent or even downloaded one. The best defense is to only download something you are sure is from a reputable source which would be the case if most developers posted a torrent link in their OP. I don't think there is any increased danger between using a torrent over a file sharing site in fact it could even be much safer.
[About XDA developers] roofrider:
Torrents FTW!

I've come across a few who provide torrent downloads, guess it's a personal choice.
[About XDA developers] ()))_)) Crayola ))_))>===:
Quite frankly I agree. A lot of so called file hosts I have seen being used (like when I downloaded a Jellybean ROM for my Samsung Infuse) have been either painfully slow (one host was so slow it was measured in BYTES per second!), or the download limits of the host were insane. If torrents were used, it would make downloading so much easier.
[About XDA developers] Duckman5:
Don't forget that some people are on networks that disallow use of ANY "file sharing" networks. I got kicked off my college network for a few days and had to promise never to use bittorrent again after i connected to the campus network with my laptop downloading a Linux distro in the background.

Torrents are great, but if you want to get useful, meaningful feedback on your work, you need to get it to the widest audience.
[About XDA developers] ()))_)) Crayola ))_))>===:
Your point is definitely a valid one. I am in college myself, which has such policies. Torrents could be used alongside HTTP-based downloads to cover that issue. This is what many Linux distributions do.
[About XDA developers] devwithzachary:
And there are services that let you download a torrent to there server and then download it normally from there.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
I need to make an apology. Another dev had to do this earlier and now it is my turn.

He was right. We are all a bit angry at people who are posting unnecessary things, but that is no excuse to be rude. I still maintain that this forum has one of the best communities, and I will not let anyone tell me otherwise. I started on this forum in april of this year. That is 4 months ago. Look what I have accomplished. I am nowhere near the level of some of our other devs, but I am so much better than I was then. I WAS a N00B. I was that person with a million questions.

I remember the first time I soft bricked. It was late at night and all of a sudden that beautiful boot animation that I just realized cold be changed started repeating itself after I tried to flash an update to scv5. I panicked. I opened up the lifehacker article on unbricking, posted a new thread with a stupid question, and I started to realize I had no money to buy a new phone. Bottom line is it was the end of the world for me.

But, thanks to all the wonderful people here, i got it fixed. My heartbeat was probably 200 while the fxz flashed, but I got it done

I now bootloop every other day practically. restoring is no problem. ICS was a whole different story, but that is not for here. That is when I had my first hardbrick. but once again thanks to the help of others I am now on scv7 with some mods to it.

To all of you who have posted stupid unnecessary things, and yes there are many I am sorry. as the Moderator Moscow Desire said in a PM after me posting a rude response that lead to me writing this "n00bs will always be at XDA. This is a fact of life. Yes, they post stupid things sometimes, and yes, they will always NEVER do a search or read other posts. It's always been like this. And yes, it gets frustrating at times."

We know you are out their. and we can try to stop it, but there will be people who do dumb things. But that is not an excuse for any of us to be rude to them. Those of us who are more knowledgeable about dev stuff should be helping those who aren't. My mom always told me in school that there will always be bosses you hate just like your teachers, and coworkers you hate st like your classmates, so you might as well learn to get along with them. She was right. we just need to get along. For us devs there is an IRC channel, and believe me we talk about this stuff, but we all get along well. so for the rest of us t needs to be the same.
[Motorola Atrix 2] techsavvy.jaz:
Let me start this by saying i am still a N00B, saying that Initially i was also annoyed with all those questions people were asking.. i myself started a new thread trying to clear few basic questions.. but as the time went by realised that the senior community was more harsh than anything else.. the more we teach the more we learn thats what say in my part of the world.. but i believe all is well, all that is needed is that you guys get into serious ICS development once the OTA arrives.. and <3 you guys..
[Motorola Atrix 2] deborshi:
I guess one just has to realise that there are ppl here with different tech capacities. So knowledgeable ppl like u and the other magnificent devs should have a little more patience with us , the eternal the omni present n00bs...:D u guys are doing a great job !! keep it up!!! We ask stupid questions coz we are scared that the beloved fone will brick...we want to be 10 times sure that flashing will not render it useless...but still we do it ..coz everybody loves a kick!!!! I guess.. my take on this....
[Motorola Atrix 2] techsavvy.jaz:
Yeah, but on the other side of the coin, if you are on XDA that means you are looking to experiment, you want to try new things, you need a fast and functional ROM or that mod you like so much or simply want to root it and then there are few who are here just to learn.

But for all this you gotta have few attributes

1. Guts

2. Little knowledge

3. Able to go through few threads before starting anything

4. And last but most important, knowing where the search button is.

This still a n00b saying this, dont get me wrong. I am here to learn, i am getting into it slowly but surely. Thanks to the devs.

Ps: this post os taken better in lighter vein!!!

Speak only when it improves on your silence.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Garnerj013:
I think it is a huge deal to see a post like this. Kudos to you, Ikrasner! You have been much help to everyone, along with the rest of the devs. Thank you all for your time!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Well it is really not patients that is the problem that we are all having at the moment. It is the fact that everyone now seems to think they are the ONLY one with a certain problem with x, and rather than posting in the thread that deals with x they make a new thread, and then when you ask why they did not search it is always "I searched, and none of the threads deal with MY exact issue".

The issue with this is that is shows a lack of respect for everyone in here, that might be working on an issue, and that person just bumped another thread that might have that or a similar issue in it, and now everyone is reading that new glowing orange thread on the board.

The next issue is that people have to trust us.

Next, it seems we have a new rash of noobs that don't want to listen and then still post a new thread when their issues is not solved in another thread and then keep bumping that thread if no one replies.

Again these are all thing that show alot of issues and lack of respect to your dev team, we are here to help, but the more you guys all help us, the more we can help you.

P.S. I had to post this same thread a few weeks back, because of all the frustrations as well.... see a pattern here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:
I know what you mean, its like you cant even blink in this forum, without starting a witch hunt.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Jswiss8608:
I just joined XDA not long ago and I too have noticed a lot of pointless threads. I admit I did post a stupid question before, but I found the answer myself and went back and changed my question. But I did not go and make a new thread about it. I think the issue is A. people are lazy in general, and B. There is so much to try and wrap your head around, and no one wants to brick their device. I only have 1 device and I would love to try experimenting with different ROMs and things, because I am constantly wanting a new phone. I have had the A2 for about 9 months now and I am bored with it. But I have that fear of bricking it and then I am screwed. So for now I will continue to search through different threads and try to learn as much as I possible can before I jump in and try flashing ROMs. I notice some people just try flashing ROMs without really any knowledge then post new threads with the issues that they have. If they would just take the time to read through threads prior to jumping in there would be less of this issue. I just want to Thank all the Devs here that put so much time into all the work they do here!! Definitely the best mobile dev community out there!!
[Motorola Atrix 2] souljaboy:

That's what we need more of here, people with a sense of humor. I applaud you for that, hopefully the lighthearted approach will carry through with the other "business class" folk.

My problem is concerning to flashing my LG nitro,

firstable i installed the android ics may leak and then i tried to use cwm to install cm9 or cm10 due to my phone with this rom is rebooting 2 times a day at least.

I have tried with Machzelet guide but there some files missing for doing that procedure..

I have tried to use cwm but when i tried to reboot on recovery mod and this got stuck on secure verification in a black screen. also i tried kloz guied but i get an error on this too.

There is any way to get my phone on default mode or install CM9 or 10 ont this phone.

My location is in Panama and i dont know if this cause this issue.
[LG Nitro HD] iyaoyasb:
go to CWM recovery and wipe everything with factory reset and reflash the rom. That should help.

Another nice app to use NFC tags, even ones you can't even write to, is NFC ReTag. It basically uses the ID of the NFC tag to do actions. It does a lot of stuff internally, but it can also call Tasker is how I personally use it.

So you can use any NFC tag, hotel keys, etc.. But I didn't have any, so I got tags from tagstand, specifically MiFare 1k, but any will do since you don't actually HAVE to write anything to them.
