[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
This is a blowoff rather than a request, but just in case...

It's since I upgraded my beloved SXL to ICS that I'm experiencing battery issues. When my buddy ran GB everything was just perfect, hours and hours of joy spent together, working hard and relaxing. But those days are gone. Now I can see battery life quickly draining away. %s drop down one after one (by the star-dogged moon).

I've tried almost any available rom (now I'm on 3M Insane 3.6), but the problem is always the same. I can't believe it's not possible to fix it, I am sure it has to be software related...

Please, anyone help me to have my battery back...
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
If you gone trough every rom i guess it is not software related anymore. If you can take another battery and try it. Just to be sure.

Frankly there can be many things causing your drain ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
Already done, tried my wife's battery and the issue remains... she's got no problem with battery life, so I think it has something to do with my device. My apps are the same ones as I was on GB, so it shouldn't be related to any particular app... I've even tried to remove all unnecessary apps from the phone, but 3 days later (after battery calibration) it was still the same. It's frustrating :mad:
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Im thinking delete battery stats and recalibrate it again, there is some good guides here in xda
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
No way, tried that too with no result. Maybe a new kernel could help, but I'm not so skilled about it...
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Yep thats another way. Wiping battery stats is a great nonsense that streams in the Internet. I guess better consult with some of the devs we have here, maybe they can give you a hand ;)
[HTC Sensation XL] anders3408:
Ny sxl was using battery wery fast and i wiped battery and calbrated it and that was working :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
Indeed, here is my plea for aid... :crying:
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Try to pm Vertigo he has expirience in that matter with the kernels :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
Yeah, that should be a good idea, but don't want to bother anyone with pm... I think the forum is the best way to ask for something. Also, if I can get a solution here, through a public discussion, this could help others having the same issue. Anyway, hope that Vertigo (or anyone dealing with kernels) should give advice :)
[HTC Sensation XL] fshami:
Have u tried flashing a stock ICS flashable from my thread?
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
Actually I didn't. Aren't they the same as OTA? I thought they were, so when I was to choose a new ROM I didn't consider to flash one of those, since my problem was there even on stock ICS... maybe worth a try. Thank you for your suggestion, I will give it a go :)
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
So, after a while (about 2 weeks) testing stock ICS rom from fshami, I'm still getting high battery drain. I've installed setcpu to create profiles which can reduce cpu usage in particular situations. Have to say that this managed to partially decrease drain, especially at night or in screen-off mode. But battery stats show that main draining source is display (70-80 %). I then realized that since I upgraded from GB I've started using bravia engine (cooked in rom or flashing it separately). Could this be the reason of the increased drain? I'm going to flash again the stock rom and avoid flashing bravia engine, this should be the acid test...
[HTC Sensation XL] Dunnymede:
SOLVED

After a hard testing of the stock rooted rom from fshami (without bravia engine) I found out that bravia was the leech that was drying my phone battery up. Since I installed the rom leaving bravia out, my battery lasts twice as long as before. Though it could be my device having problems with the engine, if anyone is experiencing the same issue it is worth trying this way...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travieman:
I was wondering if anyone out there has, or knows where to find, a flashable zip of TF101's baseband. I'm trying to trouble shoot my tablet becasue it currently isn't changing while awake. I have: NVFLASH'ed to stock, used several roms, tried several kernals, and replaced the charging cable. It's not a hardware issue as the device charges while powered off or in APX mode so it leads me to believe its a software issue. Thanks in advanced!:confused:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stijndebruin:
Like so many of us I also notice a lag in my nexus 7 which I consider not in line with the specs of the device. I'm not an expert but I found some things that raise questions.

First thing I noticed was a serious lag in Chrome Browser. So I switched to Dolphin, same problem, my browser just hangs for a bit which is really noticeable when scrolling or zooming in and out. I poked around the settings a bit and found that this lag disappeared when I used the cache to SD option.

This made me think it had to do something with the way the my device is dealing with it's cache. First thing I did was check the usage of cache in a few system info apps. (Q system info pro' system tuner) They gave a certain value and after checking multiple times I noticed the value of cache being used did not change? Many games played programs opened and closed still no change in cache usage.

So I started to look a little further with my limited knowledge of Linux and android. As far as I know cache folder is actually a partition of SD mounted as cache. So I tried to use fdisk in a terminal to check what partitions I have. This works fine on my HTC Desire running cm7.1. On my nexus however it says invalid partition table?

I also tried the mount -v command to see where certain partitions are mounted but this hives me -v is an invalid command option?

I maybe very wrong here, this may be normal behaviour in JB but it made me think there is something very wrong with the way our device is partitioned and how these partitions are mounted thus may also explain the terrible read write speeds people are getting in I/o benches.

Would love to hear some feedback on this from users who encounter the same(no changes in cache usage, and not being able to get any partition info from terminal by fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 or mount info with the mount -v or -p command.

Again this may just be a lack of knowledge on my side, so if this is very stupid mod feel free to delete my thread!

Right now I'm on Paranoid android cm10 based ROM but also noticed this on stock and cm10 nightlies
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
I've been using my Galaxy Nexus for a month or so, with the official JB ROM (JR30C or whatever, deodexed and rooted) and today I opened Gmail.

That's it. I opened GMail, switched accounts, and my phone has been bootlooping ever since.

I wiped everything in CWM multiple times and reflashed it, and I can't get the phone to do anything else.

Any clues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
Do you have a working nandroid? Have you tried flashing a different ROM?

Allons-y
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
I do not have a working NANDROID. I wasn't sure about the Internet policies at work, but it looks like I can at least make it on here, I'm not sure I'll be able to download another ROM.

I'm confused though, I mean I know it would help to try as many options as possible (to fix it) - but this ROM has been working for weeks. And the phone died randomly, not due to a recent file change or a botched program. The only boot loops I've experienced before were on the Nexus One, and it was always due to a buggy/bad flash or a corrupted ROM download - this one just developed epilepsy on its own...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Here's my plan, since these are the only things I can manage to download due to restrictions on Internet usage at work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
is your (sd)storage recognized? thus is a similar symptom to when the stirage goes bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infazzdar:
Hook the phone up to adb, boot it, and let logcat run. Maybe that will turn something up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Hmm, you know, I'm not able to find the option to mount to USB in CWM...and just in case I forgot where that is, when I plug it in, I get the "hardware failed" noise from Windows and not the usual friendly "plug in" sound.

I'm at work, and I only have my work computer. Group/secpolicy won't allow me to install anything, no admin rights, etc.

Would it even do anything? The phone barely makes it through one second of the boot animation before it loops.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you cant mount the sd card. there is no USB mass storage period. not in recovery or booted normally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Oy. Then how do I get another ROM on here? fastboot/adb?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Adb push.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Got more than one additional ROM on there via adb/recovery - my clue that CWM hasn't actually been able to do anything since the phone start looping is I'm still getting my custom boot animation.

I'm using the toolkit to reflash a stock image now. What a mess.

Even reflashing a stock image via fastboot did nothing. WTF happened to my phone? Won't stay on long enough to get a logcat
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
I'm having the same problem as this guy:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1827685&page=2

I just got finished trying to flash 4.1.1 using ODIN. It still shows me the custom animation from bigxie's ROM (which has supposedly since been overwritten 2-4x times).

Screw you Samsung...this phone is a month old, I flashed -once- to rooted Jelly Bean, and the phone dies when I open the GMail app.

EDIT: WTF - I write screw you Samsung, it boots to the Welcome screen! Just long enough for me to see that my files aren't on it anymore, then it bootloops again. And again. Now it's re-stuck in a bootloop.

And now I'm at the homescreen. I can't rely on this thing like this...is my flash dying or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Nobody?

It worked long enough for me to re-enter all of my different Google account information and now it's dead again. Now it only flashes the boot animation for a split second for bootlooping.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sheik124:
Mee too. As you can see from my signature, I gave up and bought a One S yesterday night from Craigslist. Feels like a true successor to the Desire / N1. It's nice to finally have an AMOLED screen that actually seems color calibrated after the ugly mess that was my RAZR and my less than perfect GNex. It's a damn shame how much more painless flashing a recovery was on this thing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nubreed000:
My updated failed, I'm assuming due to the fact that I have CWM installed, so I'm just wondering if anyone else got this update and what it is. Is it JellyBean? Or just some minor update that's pretty much irrelevant?

I'd like to know wha it is before I go on and remove CWM

Cheers

not JellyBean but there only minors updates, like you will now have the brightness and auto adjustment on the notification bar.

but other then that haven't seen anything else

I got the update too must be preparing for jb 100mb file just for brightness settings and it didn't change our version number so hopefully it's coming soon

I noticed that the animation when making our receiving a call has changed also when texting a contact it displays their number under their name and the attachments button is now on the left side of the screen instead of under the send button
[Nexus S Android Development] kaustubhg123:
I've searched a lot on the Internet regarding this issue, but could not find any fixed solution to it.

I've tried installing multiple jelly bean ROMs including Androxide and CNA and even stock ROM.

Any music app (except power amp) including jetaudio, default, playerpro, win amp can not see any of my music stored in /sdcard/media/Songs. The default gallery app also can not see any images including ones in /sdcard/DCIM/Camera.

I did a cut paste on PC and then again adb pushed all files to /sdcard/DCIM/Camera and /sdcard/Music and then I could see everything again. Again when I installed new ROM (CNA 3.5) and everything is gone again. I tried adb pushing again but it does not work. I tried clearing cache partition. I tried clearing data for music app, gallery, media storage. I have tried installing and running media scan app from play store. I can not wipe data repeatedly.

I am so frustrated because of the issue. I can see all music files are there on sdcard using file manager. I also verified that there are no .nomedia files anywhere. I see that sdcard is mounted on /mnt/sdcard0 instead of old /mnt/sdcard if that has anything to do with it.

Please help if anyone else has faced this issue and know concrete solution about it. I've searched a lot but could not find solution. Please help.
[Nexus S Android Development] polobunny:
Update ROM manager. Then delete the .nomedia files you can find either at the root of your sdcard, in the DCIM, Camera, media or Songs folder.
[Nexus S Android Development] kaustubhg123:
I have already removed all .nomedia files. What can I do by updating ROM Manager?
[Nexus S Android Development] XxSilent22xX:
What on earth made you post this in the development section?

But while I am here I will try to help, have you tried formatting your sdcard? When you copied the files back to your phone did you do it after installing the new ROM?

[Nexus S Android Development] sic6sic:
Try to update your recovery then format your sdcard.
[Nexus S Android Development] yerazero:
The problem is in the media scanner: it stops when it finds a non standard picture or mp3.

Try to format your sd and copy just one picture and one mp3 to see if it works.

But for this problem I have returned to ICS :mad:
[Nexus S Android Development] kaustubhg123:
I am also thinking to switch to CM9, but this isn't the solution, is it? I want JB and even stock Google ROM is problematic. However, I will now try to remove everything wipe my phone clean, everything and then try installing JB again... :( :( :( Sad.
[Nexus S Android Development] yerazero:
I totally agree with you, this is not a solution but at the moment there are excellent ICS ROMS so I can still live without JB :)
[Nexus S Android Development] motherninja:
I also experienced this problem on my Nexus S, yesterday I just flashed it with the newest release of XenonHD and the problems still persist. Only PowerAmp can play the mp3 files. So, nobody including Google themself cannot solve this problem? I just experienced this when JB came out. Gingerbread and ICS never had this problems.

I am having strange password issues when I try to log in here. In fact, I can never log in and I have to reset my password every single time. I cannot find anywhere that states the password requirements (length, characters, etc) so I am assuming it is being don't right and either hashed or bcrypted and allowing all characters with infinite length.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buzban:
I recently solved a real pain of an email issue I was having, and wanted to pass along the experience. I had tried searching these forums for several days, but didn't quite find my problem, and didn't find the solution all in one place. With that in mind, I'm hoping this information helps someone, even if a bit of it may be covered in other threads (sorry if so).

I had upgraded recently to JB 4.1.1, and was having a lot of problems getting my corporate/exchange email account to work. The calendar and contacts would work sometimes, and the email never got past the "waiting for sync" screen. Anytime the calendar and contacts would work, they would break after a reboot of the phone.

I also found that sometimes exchange account would stick around after it stopped working, and other times it would disappear (from the Android settings > accounts list) completely. I had set the accounts up both through the stock email app, and through a third - party email app (Enhanced Email, a good app).

I tried deleting and recreating the accounts, with varying settings (port numbers, accepting all security certificates, etc.). Later on, I went to my company's online web access for Exchange, and deleted all the mobile connections so that it would create a new connection for my current phone and ROM. I recreated the account (for what seemed like the 50th time) after that. Still no good.

The thing that made the difference: I finally read a tip somewhere to force stop the (stock) email client, and clear its cache and data. After that, the email app needed to be set up again, but email synched for the first time since I installed this ROM, and my calendar and contacts work reliably. It's been several days and reboots, and no further problems have come up.

I hope this helps someone, and again, apologies if the information is duplicative. I couldn't find it all in one place, and was really beating my head against the wall trying to find a fix.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toine8:
Hi there, I think im glad i found this thread although not sure it will help with my corporate mail problem. My problem exists only with contacts not syncing from my corporate exchange account. My mail and calendar is ok just no contacts sync.

You mention to force stop the stock email client, can you advise the steps and exact name of the process? Do you mean in manage apps - All - Email ? I cant seem to stop that process its all greyed out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, due to my role i really need my exchange contacts to sync.

Cheers,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ypsmav:
Hi guys,

My experience is different.

If you have problems to sync your email you need to clear all previous mobile connections from outlook (via outlook web access) and set up your account from zero on the device.

Quick question why do you use a third party email client? Do you have Samsung device? Got the same problem and had to move to a asop (CM10)

Samsung email client and exchange doesn't work well since the original Galaxy.
