[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wavehunter:
Let me start by saying that I am not an expert, but the following tips helped me. I agree with the WiFi and the detail you provided was great. I see that you are running 4G, this will eat up the battery. Your ROM may have a toggle for the 4G (LTE) and 3G (CDMA). If you have WiFi available I would use that. You may want to turn off the NFC (system setting>Wireless & Networks More....) unless you use google wallet or share screen alot. Also, I had horrible results with the Facebook app running in the background, which I have taken off my phone. I set a bookmark in dolphin browser instead of using the app.

If you are not seeing any improvements with in the next few battery cycles you may try wiping the battery stats in Recovery. The first ROM I flashed from stock my battery life was all over the map and wiping battery stats helped. I ran the same Franco Kernel and was getting 2.5 -3 hrs of screen time. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
also, get CpuSpy from the market, and see which speeds your cpu is using (or not using).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Col. Sanders:
Not that this will help software issues but Sprint is giving away a free 2100Mah extended battery with the door. You just have to pay for the shipping. No scam at all, I think they know that they have a glitchy piece of product and need to help calm us down. Just call telesales and tell them you own a Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmurray:
CPU Speeds

Almost exclusively at 384 or 729 mHz, capped at 1026.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geoffcorey:
So that means that the CPU isn't going into deep sleep, which is an issue.

All I can suggest is reflash with a full wipe, and reinstall the apps you can, and slowly weed out any rogue apps that could be causing said issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmurray:
Deep Sleep

Sorry, I meant that when awake, the vast majority of the clock speeds are 384 and 729. I am in deep sleep approximately 75% of the time.

If no solution comes up in this thread, I will try re-flashing to stock JB/stock JB kernel tomorrow night to see if it just needed a few recharge cycles to stabilize, and if not, if wiping/reinstalling helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
I'm getting the complete opposite of u op
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmurray:
Yeah, that seems to be the general experience here. My phone is down to ~28% since the OP. Again, the proportions in which things are draining power are correct, they are just doing it too quickly (1% per minute of screen time).

I'm going to completely wipe and re-flash JB tonight, keeping the stock kernel this time, unless someone can help me out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Did u flash francos kernel yet ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmurray:
Yes - every process/screen is drawing the typical percentage of power use (~50% screen, 8% Phone Idle, 8% cell standby), but the battery is draining 4x faster than it should. Francos app shows me running at completely standard voltage, and I'm on the powersave mode. I think it must be a battery indicator/stats issue, otherwise the proportions would be all off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
Try wiping ur battery stats in cwm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmurray:
I know that is supposedly a placebo, but in this case, something is clearly wrong. I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
It's not that it's a placebo,. It's that that advice to clear battery stats is based solely upon gross ignorance of what doing so actually does. Creating battery stats has absolutely nothing to do with reported charge level and has no bearing whatsoever on battery life. The only thing clearing battery stats will accomplish in your case is negative. Heck, you'd probably be achieving the same net result by strictly only charging your phone face down on an espresso colored coffee table between the hours of 4pm and 7pm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
Wow! That's pretty bad, I am back to using stock battery, Franco rom and xenon hd rom. I easily get about 8hrs battery and about 1-2hrs of screen time. I'm always flashing roms and doing inconsistent stuff.

Here's some suggestions:

- do a clean flash. Go into clockwork mod, wipe data, wipe Cache, format system, wipe dalvek, install rom, install Gapps, reboot, fix Permissions (either recovery or cw app). Don't load the phone with apps yet and don't flash the kernel. Baseline the performance.

- turn off Facebook notifications.

- Franco's kernel doesn't have to be tweaked to tough to get good battery life

- try a different rom
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loribuono:
Last night, I was looking through my Gallery and saw a few things I'd drawn in SketchBook Pro. Not everything I'd drawn in SK was there, but some were. I figured they were copies or thumbnails or something and, because I like to keep my file systems clean, I deleted them from the Gallery.

Well, turns out they weren't copies or thumbnails, but MY DRAWINGS! Ugh!

So my question is, is there anything comparable to a recycle bin on this thing, where my drawings might still exist? A second question is, does the Gallery just gather all the image-type files and display them, no matter where they are?

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
Gallery does display all images on your tablet unless they are in a hidden folder. If you have images you do not want to be seen in Gallery you can rename the folder they are in by placing a . in front of the folder name. This will make Gallery see the folder as hidden and not access it. However this may also cause some other problems. Example I have a bunch of epub books with cover images with them and I did not want to have all those images showing in Gallery (there are a lot of them) so I made the folder hidden and it worked for Gallery, but I read the books in Cool Reader and all the sudden Cool Reader could not find the books either. I worked around this by creating special folder for my book I am currently reading.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
create a .nomedia file and place it in the folder. it'll keep some apps from scanning the folders.
[HTC One X] IanD91:
Ive had the One X for a while now and its by far the best phone ive ever had. Havent quite got round to rooting it yet but im going to wait a bit.

Anyway, i have a problem with the facebook auto upload feature, as far as im aware ive turned it off but whenever i take a photo it attempts to upload it but fails and gets stuck at 0%, rsulting in me havingto cancel the upload after every photo ive take!

Any Help would be appreciated!
[HTC One X] icke:
Are U sure it's a rom issue? Read commits on market from official facebook app...this thing is crap!:D
[HTC One X] treebill:
+1 also try clearing app data.
[HTC One X] lawrence750:
were you using the facebook app itself to do this (assuming there is a way), or the auto upload setting within the camera app?

i've had this before when uploading pics manually. sounds like yours maybe stuck in the middle somehow..
[HTC One X] IanD91:
Well i dont think its a ROM issue because i havent flashed any custom ones yet, all ive done is run the setup wizard then try to cancel the auto upload? who knows, what ill do is root my phone and flash a new ROM and thatll sort it! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
hi.

I have some sms messages stored on my sim card. I would like to backup them by copying them to phone memory.

Android would only allow me to see these messages (Manage sim card messages) but won't allow me to import them.

Is it possible?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ88:
For that go to massage>press menu button>manage sim card massage>menu button>copy to device

That's it

Press thanks button if it helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
hi,

menu button inside "manage sim card messages" doesn't do anything.

Is there any app for that?

thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bingley:
In my sms settings the manage sim messages loads them all up, then menu again is the option to copy all to device. Awesome, thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romitkin:
hi,

This doesn't work, I still don't have any options when pressing menu button. Maybe I need another ROM for this? I use a JB 4.1 ROM based on CM10.

Some systems do not have "copy" menu, but "delete" only. So a general solution is still needed. Android 4.0.3 CMCC version.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidGnome:
I'm looking to see if anyone has purchased and used one of the Amzer Brushed Aluminum cases on thier S3?

I bought mine from the recent AndroidCentral/ShopAndroid deal of the day and when using it , it blocks all NFC communication from my S3.

When I contacted Amzer about it, the response I received was a bit unexpected:

Then they closed the case!

I called up and spoke to someone who said they will in fact look into it as they did get a new lot in recently and our thought was perhaps the aluminum was thicker or something.

My question to any owner of this case is whether or not NFC works on your device with the case or not.

I'm also curious if anyone else who happens to have a similar brushed aluminum backed case has similar issues or if those work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jeurum_92:
It's logical NFC won't work, aluminium on your back blocks it.

Same for the aluminium batterycovers, mine blocks it also...

Send from my GT-I9300 with Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidGnome:
In hindsight, yes I can understand why NFC wouldn't work.

However according to the company, no one has ever complained and they say it doesn't block it.

You mentioned "your's blocks it", are you talking about the Amzer case, or an aluminum battery door? Just for clarity.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jeurum_92:
I'm talking about a battery door. If anything is behind your phone with a metal back, NFC won't work.

Bull**** talk from that company, It won't work at every user of that case..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Never believe what the company says, you are the user.

no one has ever complained, BS.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DroidGnome:
I think the lack of complaints, or at least the lack of replies to this post and other reviews I've seen on the case around the internet, is simply due to the fact that most people don't even know what NFC is much less use it. At least here in the States.

I'll give them a few days to 'test' thier case as they claimed and I'll see what they say back, but I don't expect anything other than "Ohhh you're correct, NFC does not function with our case".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tweetatoo:
Hello guys :)

How are you doing? Hope everyone is well.

I have Galaxy Tab 10.1 - Verizon version, with model number of SCH-i905.

Yesterday, I did a hard reset, and I was surprised that it asked for my micro-SIM to be inserted. I do not have my SIM now, and I do not know how to activate.

Is there any method to overcome this? Are there any custom firmwares that fully function like CM on this tablet that can overcome this problem?

Please I need your help!

Its just like a non-functioning tablet now!!!

I am outside US.

Thank you guys :)

Well I have the same tablet so I might be able to help. What exactly are you trying to do
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] muzzy996:
Go to the QA section of this forum, in the search field enter "SIM Activation".

You will find a thread that describes how to bypass sim activation, I believe it involves some key presses and corner tapping.

Thank you guys.

I have managed to activate the tablet, but I could not unlock it. Is there any method to unlock the device so that it can work on any network type?

I am currently outside the US, and I cannot return it to one of Verizon stores.

Thank you.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ninja91:
Hello. I'm new to this forum and I hope s.o. can help me. I bought xperia S but it seems that it has an issue with the sim card. The phone is not locked to any operator, it works fine most of the time but the problem is that sometimes the phone says SIM card is removed or no sim card, so I have to restart it. Sometimes I have to reboot ~10 times to get it work. When it says sim card is discarded, and I really discard it, it says SIM card removed, restarting.. and vs when sim is plugged while phone is turned on. It seems that the phone itself knows when there's a sim card inside. The sim card is working fine, tried it in another phone, everything went fine. Usually this problem happens when the phone gets hot (while playing games or capturing video, etc..). I don't think it's because of the sim slot but who knows.. Tried phone repairing and updated with latest firmware, but no success. The phone is not rooted. It seems to be a hardware problem, any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Lord Takyon:
Sending it for repair may be your final option.

Sent from my XperiaS via transwarp conduit.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ninja91:
Yes, I know that but it will take about a month to fix it and I am not sure if they can fix it either.. It's a second hand phone, maybe the first owner tried to root it or did something wrong while updating or sth? Because it's not logical to work excellent and undetect the SIM when I start more applications and the phone gets hot. How can I reflash it to stock ROM so if there's anything wrong in the file system to be fixed? Someone here had exactly the same issue but my sim card is brand new, 2 weeks old and working fine in other phones. EEK!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
Take it back to the shop you bought it from and ask for a replacement?

STOP REFRESHING OLD THREADS! You have SXS so go to S SECTION and post there!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phylum:
Short Version: Phone doesn't complete boot, bug droid red triangle exclamation in recovery. Only fastboot works in bootloader; adb doesn't work at any point anywhere. Is it possible to recover data somehow? (that's all he wants to know)

Long Version:

My coworker was at the Baltimore races this past weekend, taking pictures & video. Phone got down to about 29% so it holstered it. A while later he reaches for the phone but its dead. "Must be a dead battery" he thought. Got home, charged it up but the phone doesn't successfully boot.

This is a stock Verizon Galaxy Nexus (Toro) running 4.0.4: not unlocked & not rooted and thus USB debugging never enabled. The phone will turn on, and it displays the Google logo but never progresses beyond that. We are able to boot into the bootloader and fastboot is able to communicate with the phone without issue. But when we try booting into recovery, it takes a while and we end up seeing the droid logo with the red triangle; nothing else displayed on screen.

If we hold the three buttons from there, text fills the screen with errors like:

E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install
E:Failed closing /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/misc (I/O error)
...

From recovery if we try wiping cache it says

-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/cache
Cache wipe complete.
(more of the same cache errors as above)

From recovery if we try to reboot it eventually reboots, but not before showing loads of errors, and it doesn't actually reboot - it turns the phone off but its in an odd state that requires battery pull.

All he really wants to do is recover as much data; mainly pictures etc. Is this possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
If he has fastboot, boot a custom recovery image using 'fastboot boot recovery nameofrecovery.img. Then boot into recovery, this will allow adb access. Use adb to pull the /sdcard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
??? for real? Recovery can use ADB ??? i always thought it has to be in the Android system only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Nope, CWM and TWRP has USB debug on and thanks to that, ADB is possible through them. Really useful when you do a SuperWipe and need to transfer ROM or just clumsy and wiped without transferring ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
so , we can use ADB commands in Recovery just as the same way we do in Android ???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
If you have a custom recovery yes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] on$:
So flashing a custom recovery ROM will not affect the other data stored on the internal memory of the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
Flashing a custom recovery will only affect the recovery..

I have essentially the same issue that this thread started with, no root, locked phone.. essentially bone stock verizon moto droid razr maxx HD (XT926).. and it's boot looping at the red eye.. I can get the bootloader menu and I can get into recovery, but I'd like to get data off of it before I do a FDR...

THEREFORE;

I tried the commands "fastboot boot recovery imgname.img" and I get cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory

I'm not sure if that is an issue with the version of the fastboot utility on my computer or on my handset (getvar shows vanquish & 109B(*) and hardware revision 0x8300

I tried the command "fastboot boot imgname.img" and I get the following

is this an issue of getting the right version of fastboot on my computer or just formatting the fastboot boot recovery command in a different way that works with my version??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgnex:
You used the wrong command. What you need to do: put the recovery.img you downloaded into the same folder as where your fastboot is located. Then for the sake of it rename the recovery image to: "recovery.img". Then fire up cmd and type: "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". If you want to boot into it once: "fastboot boot recovery recovery.img". This should do it (without the quotes of course :) Hoped this helped!

Can you still boot into the OS?

If you can remove an app and see what happens, if moments later or after reboot the app is there again your EMMC might be fried.

To check that lock the bootloader. If that is locked upon reboot you're fine, if not the EMMC is fried. If this succeeds though your data is lost.

If all this does not apply to you, then it is probably a driver culprit.
[General Questions and Answers] JoeyofBladez:
I'm modding my icons with UOT Kitchen and had some questions about the icons in SystemUI.apk! I'm using a Samsung Infuse 4g with Emancipation ROM which is based off of Gingerbread 2.3.6!

Basically I want to know the difference between the icons that say "fully" and the ones that don't. For both signal bars and data icons. I assume it means fully connected to the network, but what is the difference? It's a hassle making new icons for "fully" connected status.

Also, why don't animated icons work? I can modify signal bars and data icons but can't get animations to work. The suffix "_anim0" is added to the first one, up until "_anim19" but only the first one shows.
