[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxSilent22xX:
Do this, preferably with a clean/new ROM install.

When the phone dies, charge it for 1-2 minutes just enough for you to enter recovery and clear battery stats.

Once battery stats are cleared power off the phone and leave it off and let it charge while you sleep.

When you wake up, power on the phone and use it normally until it dies. Do not reboot the phone during this time.

When the phone has died again, leave it off to charge fully again, once this second charge is done you are now free to use your phone as normal.

Some people claim clearing battery stats does nothing, and may be true. But I have always done my charging this way and it may be why all my phones still have the stock battery with excellent battery life.

Its also best to do this at night when you are asleep to let it charge all the way.

Hi all!

Kinda noticed my battery draining pretty quickly over the past couple of days and was wondering why.

So, I see something "different" or I've not really noticed before in Better Battery Stats:

I'd put a picture here but for the life of me can't seem to figure out how to do it with Tapatalk OR from my PC. I only seem to be able to add "links" or URL's. Is there something I'm missing there.

Here's what I'm seeing as my biggest Partial Wakelock in BBS:

SignalCollector.ScannerThread

com.google.android.apps.maps.Maps

5 m 37 s (337 s) Count: 56 21.3%

And, that was being off the charger for just a very short time.

Any ideas what that is and what it's doing?

BTW...on CNA 3.3.1 toro; I haven't added any new apps recently.

(I posted this on Codename's forum but also wanted to get more "eyes", interaction, and opinions on what this is.)

Thanks!

So I dropped my S3, BUT, only the silver bezel is scratched, and it is REALLY BOTHERING me when I use my S3. I'm thinking about buying a new part, and swap it out myself.

After watching the video, it seems easy but yet lots of work, also risk breaking something that bound to have more problems.

So my question is, what would you guys do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:

Hold home + volume down + power

Hook the USB cord to the computer but not the phone yet. Hold Home + Volume Down and hook the USB cord to the phone.... Don't use the power button...

I'm bringing my SGS3 on my Euro trip and I'm hoping the GPS will work for turn-by-turns navigation. Couldn't find any info on this and I don't see why it wouldn't work but just want to make sure. Has anyone tried their NA phone in Europe for GPS?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] erandhawa:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
It will work fine, but you don't want to use the navigation app since it uses google maps which require a data connection. You DON'T want to use your data in Europe :), unless you have a special plan or are on another carrier while you are there. You should get the free navigation mapfactor and download the maps you need.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Trillian:
Hello Guys,

I'm recently changed the iPad to buy Iconia A100. I really satisfied exept for the following points:

1. battery life: It's really frustrating recharge A100 like an iPhone. I've donwloaded the Judge Defender and installed as well CPUSleep but I can't arrive at the end of the day.

2. I've installed latest ROM CPCyanogen, my really good compliment to Pio Masaki, the table has completly changed the performance with his room, but I would like to ask You if it's possibile to remove the vibration screen everytime I tap on the screen.

I've removed all flag for vibration in the display settings and Input method, but I'm still getting vibration in the home screen when I change the icon position and the block screen. Is it an easy fix to do that?

3. I would like to personalize my tab in order:

- change wallpaper: what is the right size? because everytime it's crop the image

- boot screen: I would like to change boot screen animation, is there in the forum a procedure to do that? I searched it without found it

- Widget and launcher: do you have some advice?

Thank a lot for Your support
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Welcome to the forum and the a100!

1: Yes it does have mediocre battery life, not much can be done about it besides finding a CPU governor that helps but keeps performance where you want it, Linux society has a kernel with tons of options that you may like. Screen brightness is a huge drain, and only have GPS on if needed will also help.

2: That vibration is with the launcher, so check in launched settings for that option.

3: The screen resolution is 1024x600 however wallpapers tend to move with home screen changes, so it may still be to wide, this can usually be set in launcher settings too.

/system/media/bootanimation.zip is where the boot animation is, you can replace it with another of the same or lower resolution to personalize it to your liking.

I use Apex launcher and also Holo launcher, both are pretty quick and smooth.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Trillian:
Thank you Pio for you fast answer, I really appreciated it.

Last question, that I missed in my first post: I bought some ebook when I got the iPad, I`ve tried to copy on A100 to open them with ebook reader but does’t works.

I think that is not correct if I have to re-downloaded from G.Play and pay again for them.

Is it something that I can do?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If you pulled the ebooks off already, the format may not be compatible. Use calibre to convert to epub and it'll work with apps like aldiko.

I have been having intermittent issues with my phone and would like to format the internal storage and start over completely. I want to do a completely fresh install of a new ROM with no lingering code left over. How do I do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crawrj:
You would either factory reset and then install the Rom that you want. Or grab a Rom that wipes data and install it. For example if you have custom recovery you could flash any of the Data Wipe options from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1844109. If you already have custom recovery you can use the zip. If not you would use Odin and flash the tar file. This particular Rom is stock and will overwrite the custom kernel with a stock kernel, if you have a custom kernel. Just remember to backup anything that you want to save first. Like pictures and music or whatever.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
If you want to stay in your current ROM:

-Settings -> Storage -> Format Storage

[LG Nitro HD] Kct385:
I tried to get root to avail when I was on v10j and read its not possible. So you're going to need to use the unbrick guide.

If your asking if the unbrick guide is safe to use... absolutely if your following the instructions it is safe. I've now done it twice to my phone both times worked perfectly no surprises nor did I have to deviate at all from the guide. I used it to downgrade from v10j to get root.
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
The unbricking guide is safe, but this should be moved to general. Mods, if you may....
[LG Nitro HD] iyaoyasb:
Actually, you can root 10j. You have to use a different program. I believe I used vipermod primetime v4.6 for that. It's easier than all the other programs, or at least I thought so. But yes, you can root it without the unbricking.

I just figured, I'd let you know about it for the future.
