[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] d3athb4dishonor:
Ok so I'm not sure which it is but I'm thinking / hoping it's only my battery here's my issue. My phone will not charge properly. It'll say it's at full charge but soon turn off and act like the batteries dead.

Other times it'll take forever to charge even when I leave it charging and don't mess with it. I also rebooted into recovery one day and I saw a message saying my battery voltage was too low.

I did drop it when it was connected so I'm also thinking maybe my USB connector isn't allowing enough power to the battery anymore. Just curious if anyone knows the issue so I have an idea, for how much it'll cost me to fix.

Get a new one

Buy a new battery. They cost around 20 bucks or so, Anker preferably.

Phone wont turn on no download mode, no recovery mode, nothing....when i plug it in to the charger it vibrates and shows the battery icon but thats it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
If you do a battery pull then plug it into the charger then put battery back does the notification led go red?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcooper113084:
yes....

that happened to em and from what i read on the forums there's nothing you can do but replace it. Verizon wont know its rooted since it wont even turn on.

Didn't work for me. I had it on the charger overnight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elreydenj:
This happened to me. My phone had been rooted and I had pushed some apps to the system, but I had not used any custom roms or kernels at all. After my small modifications my phone worked for a month or so. Out of the blue while using navigation, it died and would no longer turn on. It would boot into recovery or download mode only when on the charger. If I left it on the charger for a long period then it would boot to the homescreen sometimes but then turn off very quickly. I tried all I could through odin to fix it. Since I could boot to the homescreen sometimes, I could see that odin had returned my phone to stock and my flash counter was still at 0. Still would never boot into any mode when off the charger. I had to return to verizon for a refurb as I believe it is a hardware issue imo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
sounds like a bad battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcooper113084:
** UPDATE** I dont know how but i managed to get my phone into download mode by holding only vol down and home while plugged into computer. I was able to odin back to stock using *how to unbrick a soft brick* yaaayyyyyy!!!!! i got my phone back...now to re-root but this time i wont wipe internal sd card..lol

It wont let me post link to form....but hope this might help anyone else with what i would like to call a medium brick like mine

SO if your notification light comes on (red) when battery is out and plugged into computer try holding ONLY vol down and home to get into download mode...it worked for mine

Hi,

My daughter said that she prefers to avoid Viber because it uses push notification. Which she said will consume more battery. I was puzzled and wanted to lookup further on push notification. But most what I found was related to development. Can you please help me to clarify?

Q1- What is push notification?

Q2- When is push notification required (or become useful)?

Q3- Is it true that increase battery usage and why?

Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PlanBSTi:
If I remember correctly, It was basically a sync system. It syncs any new emails, notifications etc. Like the android sync system. But called push notification

Your wifi usage or data is almost "on" for it to work. So it's useful imo but also a battery hog.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_technology

So, if you would recieve 2 emails per day, the server initiates a push 2 times that day. Compared to having your phone constantly polling the mail server for new mail every hour or 30 minutes, what sounds more battery friendly? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
So, why are you asking in the Galaxy Nexus forum about push notifications on the iPhone 3GS?

Push notification means that as soon as a message or data is available, its "pushed" to the device, rather than being "synced" on a timer interval. It uses more battery often because there's more data being transfered and the app needs to have a service running at all times to receive push notifications. It depends on the app and how its managed though. It can be more efficient than a frequent polling sync interval.

Push is useful for important email, messaging applications, and other apps that have time sensitive data. (Just think about it...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Er.. no. Pushing uses less battery. The service provider just needs to "wake up" the respective background process and send the push to it. In contrast, with a pull, the background process has to wake up and send data everytime it wants to poll the server. And then it has to stay awake long enough to receive a response back, which is what it would've had to do anyway in a push.

(True, if you set polling for once a week, it might save more battery, but that kinda defeats the purpose of all this.)

Warning: the above contents are complete BS that I made up 5 minutes ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2LoT:
I am lost, did you mean I should discard your reply? Well, as your ranking is "Senior Member", I assume that you know what you are talking. So I hope your reply was not a joke, so let continue.

If so, can you make sense of this support page which advises to disable push notification to save battery

http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/667853/3

Excerpted here the related paragraph:

Could "Push Notifications" has a different meaning in an iOS?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Because disabling any data based notifications, push or otherwise will save battery, bug the above is true. Push notifications will use less battery than a pull/sync. It can depend on a few things, though, like how many notifications get pushed, how often, and whether with those two factors if the app is set to push for every new notification, or groups them together periodically.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Disabling push notifications from the general settings menu of an iPhone disables the notifications completely. The app will no longer give you notifications unless you enter the app or setup a sync interval (if the app supports it). That's why it'll save battery. You can universally across the entire OS turn off notifications for specific apps, groups of apps, or all apps.

This again quickly highlights the point though:

Why is this thread about an iPhone 3GS and notifications in iOS in a Galaxy Nexus forum

?

Might I recommend one of the hundreds of iPhone forums? You'll surely get better answers there from people who actually use the device. Seriously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
No. Push is push. But when you are comparing push notifications against having no nofitications at all, then yes push notifictions will take some battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _android_:
IMAP IDLE (push) protocol requires your phone re-establish IDLE connection to server at regular interval (usually < 30 minutes) before server time-out and terminates the IDLE connection. Eg. K9 email client refresh IDLE connection at 20-minute intervals.

If you have lots of emails, not sure if battery use is better. Difference with Sync is that you get email notification right away with Push.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] el_charlie:
With all due respect,

You have the terms wrong.

In android 2.2 and up to 4.0.x the push notification system is called C2DM (Cloud to Device Messaging). It's a protocol where a server sends a notification to the device and can wake the app it's meant to. It saves a LOT battery because the app doesn't need to poll anything. In fact, the app doesn't need to be running, only the google services framework needs to be running in background and it will wake the app, thus, saving battery.

In Jelly Bean, the system is now called GCM (Google cloud messaging).

For iOS users the system is very similar and apple handles those notifications.

In conclusion, push notifications save a lot of battery because the app doesn't need to be running and no polling period is needed. Also is faster: if you receive an email, you'll be able to see it right away and don't wait for the next server poll. The same happens with the twitter for android app and even Whatsapp.

In iOS something curious happen. In the iDevices, WiFi turns off few moments after the screen is off, and those push notifications are handled by the carriers data connection. In my case, I find that using my carrier's data instead of wifi, consumes more power because my cell signal quality is very poor in my country and a wifi connection is more stable, thus, I get a better battery life with WiFi always on. Maybe that's why on iOS devices the Push notifications are more power hungry.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractalrock:
Hi,

I bought a used 3G Verizon Xoom a few months ago. Now, I don't know if I somehow ruined the cellular hardware and / or firmware (or if it came that way), but the 3G radio does not work properly. Android reports 'Network: Unknown / Mobile Network Type: Unknown / Service State: Out of Service' etc. Verizon says the MEID is clean.

This is not a huge deal, as I didn't plan to activate it on Verizon's network. (of course, I would prefer that the radio worked so I had the option, but oh well)

Moving on...I have tried Team EOS Jellybean ROMS for both myself and my wife (Wifi only Xoom) and had bad luck while playing video on both devices; I suspect due to overclocked GPU.

She is currently running a pre-rooted stock Jellybean that operates perfectly.

But, that leaves me hanging. Here are my most basic needs; leaving out food, shelter and beer:

1.) a rooted ROM, preferable Jellybean...and absolutely not overclocked. Especially GPU.

2.) I don't care if the ROM doesn't support the 3g radio, as the hardware doesn't seem to function anyway

3.) would love a stock ROM but without the Verizon / Moto crapware. The cleaner the better

Does such a ROM exist? Can I use the one I found for her WiFi Xoom and install it with no ill effects? It has some mild crapware, but if that is my only option....

I'm currently running stock non-rooted ICS 4.0.4. Last week I rebuilt the tablet up from ground up to see if it would restore the 3g radio, but no luck.

Thanks for anyone taking the time to read and respond.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] br0adband:
Well, I have an E4GT and the USB port simply isn't working anymore, there's no indication from Windows (my primary OS) that a device is attached or detached (the classic "thunk-thunk" sound), there's no recognition after repeated attempted to attach/detach the device, driver updates and reinstallation have proven fruitless and a waste of time, and a friend of mine decided that since it was alerting him - while messing around with the E4GT when I wasn't home - that an update was available, he agreed to it and when I got home it was updated to ICS (FH13).

Obviously, I'm a bit pissed about all this as I don't want ICS on this device for all the crap it's causing, and now I have to figure out if it's possible to use the stock recovery method to restore this device to GB (EL29) and if so, where can I find a proper update.zip or whatever for that particular build?

Sorry to be a bother but I've spent an hour or two searching around, and I know at some point I did see a link to Google's Android site somewhere that has the factory ROMs or something, I thought maybe I could get it done that way by copying the update.zip (renamed, of course) to the microSD card or even internal storage (using WiFi Explorer I should be able to manage that task).

I just want to get this E4GT back to Gingerbread if at all possible, any help is appreciated.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
When i first became an android user, I had same questions. Infact i didnt root for a month. My friend kept telling me to do it since I could do so much more. You already know that bloat is annoying so thats one benefit. Other reasons to root are to use custom roms and kernels and mess around with different kernel tweaks. Use themes and such. Use apps like titanium backup pro etc.. So many apps I use need root.. Just read around in the stickied threads to learn and start flashing! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Cleanser2012:
With root you can install different kernels and custom roms. Advantage to this is better performance from your phone and if you install some tweaks you can also have some amazing battery life I personally got about 10 hours running one of phantoms rom. Rooting E4GT is really simple just use the guide or watch qbking77's video he'll show you how to root and install custom roms.
