Yeah I did that also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Wiping battery stats does nothing..absolutely nothing. As system is deleting stats every time you unplug your phone @ 90-100% of battery. Wiping it just makes your battery information/calculations go berserk.

You could try can install with fresh rom. I suggest trying slimbean, full stock or with Franco's kernel. Also consider changing your radio/ril if you're in area with bad reception, 'cos it'll drain your battery also.

I'm doing easily 14-20h uptime with 3-4,5h screen on time with slimbean+franco. Idle drain is about 1%/2-3h (no sync, data nor wifi).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
This. Every time someone says to clear battery stats, FSM eats a cute and fluffy penguin chick. Why this grossly erroneous advice still continues to be posted almost a year after it was clearly and concisely debunked is baffling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Get a cheap extended battery and external battery charger, change Rom or kernel, ???? Profit!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ceejay83:
Try trinity kernel, I get better battery life with it compared to Franco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qtwrk:
From DX power booster, which shows hardware power consumption, the radio power consumption is basically negligible... 95% of battery was taken by CPU and screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
If you're referring to a some kind of an app which shows you battery drain, be noted that those figures are fully hypothetical since there isn't a way to measure power consumption inside the phone. Figures are made by algorithm with some data from spec sheets, Android battery stats, etc. It can give you some hints but can't be blindly trusted. :rolleyes:

And I have had tested several radios with my ex-SGS and saw that wrong radio had huge impact to idle drain, especially in the low signal strength areas. If course CPU and screen are still the main drainers, but imho radio can't be left without notice.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
Flashed to leaked Jelly Bean OTA and trinity kernel still draining like buckets. Got a a battery on order so hopefully that fixes it. Its not a CPU issue as its in deep sleep 80% of the time. Even in Airplane mode its draining at 5-10% an hour
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
Also 20mins drained 4% using stock 4.0.4 no apps installed. Completely idle
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
Reflashed to 4.0.4 but unchecked keep my phone backed up to Google and Restore from google and now only draining at about 2% an hour in standby. Now Im running eclipse with leanKernal and getting 1% an hour drain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
So it was that backup service what kept your phone awake/running at higher CPU speeds. For a next time, go and grab BetterBatteryStats from chamonix's XDA thread. That one would have said that *backup* is keeping your phone awake (I have seen that in my phone also). Let's hope that you're phone now behaves nicely :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LancerV:
I did install better battery stats but nothing was keeping the phone from going to deep sleep. It was in deep sleep roughly 80-90% of the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurre:
Ah okay, then it's little weird since backup service has always appeared in wakelocks and that's how it has been easily founded as a culprit for drain. But anyway, your problem is solved and therefore case is kind of closed :p

Hello, I have just bought an used Galaxy S3, but unfortunately I have some problems. The main problem is that I am unable to make calls. The phone shows No service and it doesn't matter whether SIM is inserted or not. Another thing I have noticed is changed IMEI. It is different than one behind the Battery. Also, serial number is 00000000 and it is very strange.

I would be very grateful for any help!

this is my first thread so if i didn't explain something clearly, i'm sorry.

i'm in thailand and i want to use gsm and 3g(850/2100) on this phone.

The problem is that my note didn't fully read my sim card, depending on rom, it know what my apn & my carrier is but it still couldn't make a call or using data. it also show the signal strenght on some roms but everything other than that is unknown. i've tried flashing most of the modem/radio and reflash rom/stock rom i could find in the forum but there aren't any different. it can search for the network operator available in my country but can't register.also selecting wcdma prefered or gsm only doesn't help. so i'm out of options now.

if anyone know how to fix this problem please tell me.

and my note s-pen cannot write accurately when it's vertical, the pen will be lower the touch point for about 1 mm. and that make the lowest part of the screen untouchable. however, if i write it horizontally it will be much more accurate but the same 1 mm. lower border of the screen is still untouchable. is there a way to fix this? i've tried turn on and off auto rotation, clear ram, factory reset, calibrate gyroscope and all of them doesn't seem to work.

sorry for the bad english and thank you in advance

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kumite2010:
I managed to got MTP working with Ubuntu 12.04 (can't remember what tutorial I used though) but I found the easiest and fastest way to transfer files between the Nex 7 and Ubuntu is by setting up Filezilla in your Ubuntu box and then using a ftp app on your Nexus. I don't have my Nexus 7 with me right now so can't see exactly which one I'm using. I'll post later when I get home.

PTP I could be wrong but is mainly for pictures and adb there's just too much typing. Plus with using Filezilla and an FTP app you don't have to mess with wires and set up is really easy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngc604:
I did this:

sudo apt-get install libmtp-common libmtp-runtime libmtp9 mtpfs mtp-tools

sudo mkdir /media/nexus7

sudo chmod 755 /media/nexus7

under ~/.bashrc i added

alias mnex='sudo mtpfs -o allow_other /media/nexus7'

alias unex='sudo umount /media/nexus7'

When you plug in the nexus in the terminal type mnex to mount and unex to unmount. I know there are other ways to make it point and click but i almost always have a terminal window open so hitting 5 keys doesn't bother me. This will work quick and simple until you can find a "prettier" way of doing things.

basically followed this:

http://stevepdp.org/2012/07/18/how-to-transfer-nexus-7-data-using-ubuntu-12-04/

airdroid is pretty easy (and largely independent of os). But I found it failed when mass downloading about 6 gigs, no idea why. Nowadays I commonly use adb.

But I think there is an actual mtp setup for 12.04, so that's probably easier in the long-run.

Well I woke up to something interesting this morning. Anyway I grabbed my phone to check the time and it was really hot and only at 71% it had been on the charger for probably 5 hours. There was a message on the screen about temperature being too high or something. So I pulled it off and restarted it and just left it alone. After I got up I put it on the charger with it turned on and let it charge, but I was right by it so I could keep checking it. It charged without getting hot, but now it will just show 100% Charging on the screen and the LED doesn't seem to ever turn Green. Right now I switched to my i9300 and have the i747 turned off on the charger to see if it will get to 100% and turn green. Any one encountered this before?

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FR8148:
I have a Samsung Galaxy W (i8150) that I bought from portuguese operator TMN (the only seller in Portugal for this phone). Obviously, it is strongly branded.

I would like to remove some useless (for me) applications that came installed and also the irritating operator logo at startup and shut down. Or, still better, to flash a new ROM.

I started by rooting the phone with "universal_gb_root_v17.zip" and installed Root Explorer and SuperUser from Android Market.

The Root explorer presents a button to mount the system in RW mode, but it makes nothing, not even calls SU to ask permission to access the system at root level. Trying to see attributes of any file or folder is not possible because "the system is read only" (it says).

BTW, after rooting there was an indication that "could not access system/csc/TMN/system".

The truth is that Root Explorer doesn't show this path. In system/csc there are only 4 visible files. If it really exists, it is very well hiden.

All this make me think there is some kind of lock preventing the entire system from entering write mode, even after rooting.

Assuming there is really such a lock, I have two questions:

1- Is it possible to remove it? How?

2- With the lock present, would it be possible to flash a new ROM with Odin Multi Downloader 4.43 (the version I've got) without bricking the phone? It seems that may be it is not possible for Odin to override that lock, I think...

Well, that's all. Any ideas? Any experience with this situation or similar?

I would appreciate some help from anybody. Thanks a lot :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] mohza:
I think u dont have root access, try rooting via update.Zip

From My GWonder
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] FR8148:
Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Thanks a lot, you saved my day.

Now Root explorer has asked for root access permission to SU that has been instaled by Update.zip and the system is "turnable" to RW.

If I don´t abuse your kindness and your knowledge, do you think Odin can flash e new ROM without bricking the phone? I ask because when the phone shuts down with system on RW mode, at start up it goes back to read only.

I don´t know if starting in Odin update (vol down+home+on/off keys) the same thing hapens, preventing the loader to make the flashing.

Thanks a lot once more. :)
