If you have 2G, no Wifi, low brightness could also make your battery life last longer ^^
[General Topics] happydolphin:
Calibrating the battery after flashing new roms will typically increase the battery life if you are experiencing issues. It simply removes the old battery stats to make the stats pertinent to your given rom.

Battery drain..

Try to don"t use your phone:silly:....or use juice defender....it works fine for me..
[General Topics] j.kelly:
Irronically I have noticed certain battery aid apps actually killing my battery more, but simply avoid auto brightness and adjust it accordingly when inside or out, turn off wifi, bluetooth, and maybe some of your sync options, depending on your type of screen avoid using backgrounds with certain colors... ex Amoled's emeny is white as is most screens, if possible change the backgrounds in certain used apps to black such as messaging.
[General Topics] preetshardoc:
yes proper callibration is basic step/

Then use 2g network if 3g use is not much.....but if you have to do it as 3g, not as auto...coz it chews up more battery

Then diable wifi and bluetooth when not in use

avoid live wallpapers

You can use the slick power saving feature option by enabling it......

Decrease the brighness of screen as much as possible

The mAh value isn't anywhere near as important as the way you use your phone. Theoretically my HD2 with a 1230 mAh battery could last a good week and a bit in airplane mode with no usage whatsoever, but that's a completely unrealistic scenario. I can always get a full day of usage out of it, and really I've never needed more. All I do to limit battery drain is use a custom ROM, JuiceDefender and SetCPU, and I get a 5mA drain on standby with WiFi on. To put that in perspective, my Mum's Desire S on a stock ROM gets 26mA drain in Airplane mode. Despite having a 1600 mAh battery (I think) the battery doesn't last much longer than mine, and even then it's only because she never uses her phone.

Yes, use only 2g, low brightness, no animations, and most important, calibrating.

but with a good rom, what isnt the stock, u can use a batterysaver kernel governor, like savagedzen

Obviously the 4G wouldn't work but can I just buy a used Verizon Galaxy Nexus and take it to the Sprint store to have it activated? 3G should work, right? Will they notice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Seems unlikely unless they can bypass the SIM somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alex1123:
verizon has a sim card while sprint has a embedded sim but 3g i think is compatible the hard thing would be activating it on sprint or getting someone to do it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imnuts:
You would need to find someone that can insert the ESN into Sprint's database, and you'd be lucky if that's all that was needed. No way are you going to accomplish this by just walking into the store and having them do it though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliverus:
First post here, been a long time trawler.

I unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7, and followed that up with changing my DPI setting so I get tablet ui mode instead of the default phone mode. However every time I try to get an app from the play store, it tells me my device is not supported. To bypass this I've been backing up the apps from my Nexus S and sending them to myself for manual installation. Any fixes for this?

Please and thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I think you have to have a native DPI, like 120, 160, 220, or 320. Anything else might cause issues, but I don't know exactly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliverus:
Thanks for the tip. The guide I was following said any number under 175DPI would work, so I just picked 174 for testing sake. It worked so I didn't think twice. Changed to 160 and this seemed to do the trick.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
How about putting the DPI where its supposed to be and applying the "Tablet UI mode no DPI change" patch.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
- Does the patch work with every ROM and kernel available?

- What's the DPI supposed to be at?

- Does simply altering the DPI to a number like 160 cause any harm?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sliverus:
I'm not sure where this patch is listed, but I'm running stock jelly bean. This something someone on xda wrote?

[PATCH] True Tablet UI (Apps+GUI) w/o DPI Change - 8/1 Alpha 3 Released
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devoris:
I think i have a fix for you.

I have been working on this for some time and i found out that if you change the DPI yes it will mess with your compatibility. What I did to fix this was i went in and uninstalled the system app for play store but left the play store service. I did this using System tuner but im sure you can do it with titanium backup. I rebooted my tablet and the play store reinstalled i did clear all data for the play store and it was working on its own with fixed compatibility. All apps that lost compatibility like OnLive and nVision work like a charm.

Just an FYI im using DPI of 160 (modified using the build.prop method.), but im sure you can use 170 too.

Just in case you need it there is this post with a modded play store.

When I click the link at the bottom of the page nothing is downloaded... :confused:
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PurpleRob:
I take it that it goes to another page? If so I copied the text from that page into a file in the destination folder called chrome-command-line and set the permissions, which works well.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] PurpleRob:
Download the attached file, place it in the data/local folder and delete the .zip extension, set permissions to read write execute, read execute and read execute. Force stop chrome and re start it and voila all is good in desktop mode.

Hope this helps

Rob
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nlua:
Thanks for the download link. Uber noob here. How do you set the permissions?

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mr2324jgf:
You are wrong.

After a restart it works fine, the check box won't be checked in chrome. A good indicator... go to Meritrust credit unions website... if it loads with login capabilities you succeeded. This worked for me, thank you op
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
I have rebooted and IT DOESN'T WORK. When I try to go to several sites they keep feeding me the mobile version even after a restart.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] omac_ranger:
You have it named "chrome-command-line" only right? Not "chrome-command-line.txt" etc? If you have it named that with the correct permissions it should work...

Yea its renamed "chrome-command-line" without the "". And the permissions I set with ES File explorer is:

I was about to say you may have the file name wrong because I did but apparently that's not the case.

I cleared data too in chrome. Might not have been necessary but just saying.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
isn't the stock browser on JB supposed to be chrome?. Because if it is then I can confirm this DOESN'T WORK.

I have already put the file into data/local, and set the right permissions. But the stock JB browser (Which I thought was chrome still shows me mobile sites, ie if I go to sites like Android Central I still get booted to m.androidcentrel.com instead of the real one.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] omac_ranger:
Which device are you using? If you're using JB on anything other than the N7, then chrome is NOT the default browser. That is entirely different.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
Im running JB on a SGS3. I just read somewhere that people had commented that Chrome would be the new default browser for JB. Hence why I "assumed" Chrome was the default browser for the SGS3 JB.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] omac_ranger:
Negative. You can download Chrome from the market and use this fix, however.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] MeX_DK:
Yea I realised that as a part of my process of elimination, ie why it didn't work on the stock JB browser, but did work on chrome, leading me to suspect those 2 were not the same :P
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] omac_ranger:
Haha, well I still hope this can help you somehow!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nevetsvsx:

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] kennyfool:
Sweet! Works like a charm! Anyone know if there is any way to do this on the stock AOSP browser? The reason I ask is because I use this browser whenever I want to view websites with flash content
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] omac_ranger:
Might I recommend Boat Browser? Its my favorite browser for both tablet and phone. there are a lot of tweaks so you can adjust the look and feel to provide you with the feeling you want. (IE option to show/hide tabs, full screen mode, speed dial, etc.) Not to mention quick change between various UA strings.

It shouldn't be the default on the nexus 7 but Google was stupid and decided to make it the default. The jellybean aosp browser is so much faster and smoother its not even funny.

The RAZR HD is only coming with chrome as well. Mistake in my opinion.

chrome desktop mode and html 5

OK so I flashed the .zip to patch and get desktop mode working which is working fine. But I noticed when I go to YouTube it says that chrome for android doesn't support this plug in. Which is weird because I know chrome doesn't support flash but it should run the HTML 5 version. I checked on the YouTube settings and HTML 5 is on but for someone it does not work. It says I need flash but HTML 5 should have kicked in. That is very strange. I hope someone can patch that up. Can someone provide an explanation and hopefully a fix to this.

I'm using a nexus 7 running paranoid ROM.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Kalavere:
I have exactly the same with my N7, running PA. I've never noticed before as I use the app, it's really pretty decent if you set the DPI to 160 in the per app settings. I realize this isn't a solution to the problem, I can only guess it's something to do with the ROM? It works fine on my Galaxy nexus running Black Bean.

Great find mate.

And she cannot get on with eBay's default mobile site.

But now she can use my Nexus7 and go straight to the desktop page.

Actually I just found a problem with that. She can now use my Nexus7 :(

Time to strip the laptop down I think and try baking the motherboard again.

Unfortunately, I'm torn.. between my love for CM9 and the ability to download MMS picture messages on my Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100G. I have CM9 installed, have tried several different modems, but just cannot download MMS picture messages. Every once in a GREAT while it will receive a picture message, but more often than not it doesn't. I have no problem sending picture messages, I just cannot receive them and it's very very frustrating. :( I'm on the latest nightly of CM9 with the latest google apps for CM9.

Is this something that is just impossible to fix? Or is there something I may be missing? ALL HELP WILL BE IMMENSELY APPRECIATED!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dot.gif:
It is probably a problem with the configuration of your mms apn OR even with your carrier/your sim card.

I have had a problem like that for months, and a fix for me was changing a number.

If you are able, test your sim card on another phone and check if the mms images work.

If they do, it's most likely APN configuration.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] durrik:
Thanks for the reply!! I have tried to find APN configurations but haven't found anything that seems like it'd really fix it, but it's most likely cause I simply don't understand how APN works. Any help or links to help would be appreciated!
