I know there are a lot of tablets made by this company, so I am just wondering which one is the best? I am not looking to purchase it, it has just been at the back of my mind for a couple of days. ainol-novo.com
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverik18:
The "best" Ainol, at least spec wise, it's the Ainol Fire. Here a link of the Ainol tabs released so far:

If you read something about the Ainol "Flame", it's the same Ainol Fire spec wise, only with better english translated 'firmware, UI and apps', and "allegedly" better quality controls. :)

How many battery cycles does it take for the battery benefits of a ROM to take effect?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xenster:
My battery life improved by over 300% overnight. Last night I flashed, charged it overnight and used it all day today. Not sure exactly how much it's improved because I'm at hour 13 and still have 54%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
It takes time for a new kernel and rom to settle that's why it improved :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chiefmigrain:
Did you have to let it go all the way down to 0% and then charge it from there without turning it on, or what? I think the kernels and ROM may be settling in though, because I was just on 2 percent for like an hour before it went down to one, and I was texting, going about my normal business

I've rooted my device and I'm trying to flash Viper 1.0 ROM but its booting with no screen (I hear the boot sound but black screen)

I've unlocked my bootloader, flashed recovery, flashed and installed SuperSU (I checked it for working), then I installed ROM Manager and updated to the latest CWM

and still every time I flash the ROM it boots up with no picture (I've checked the md5)

What am I missing??

On the bootloader I got S-ON, above it UNLOCKED in pink, and above it TAMPERED in black,

I'm a DHD owner and I'm freaking out with my brother's ONE S

Help me please solve this out.

I noticed last night that my serial number in phone shows just 000000000 and not serial number.

If you return to the 4.0.3 ICS the serial will appear again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Its not a matter of a bunch of stuff "running" and filling your RAM up...that doesn't matter...it was probably a rogue app that was keeping the processor running. You can have your RAM full with a bunch of apps "running" and 0% processor usage by apps if everything is "running" properly due to the way android multitasks.

I suggest tracking down the app that is keeping the processor running, because task killers have been pretty useless on android since I believe cupcake...they only eat your battery. How do they eat battery? Every time you kill all apps using a task killer, the next time you open the app it has to fully start up again, which is much more processor intensive and eats much more battery than keeping those apps in RAM in a frozen, but "running" state.

I forget what app you can use to track down rogue apps, but I suggest tracking that down before resorting to task killers.

Also, just having your screen on for a while while you are doing stuff will cause your phone to heat up as you described, it's especially apparent while watching video or playing games, and is just normal usage of the processor producing the heat. You notice it near the top of your phone the most because that is where the processor is, and the metal bezel around the camera lens, being metal, transmits heat much faster than the surrounding plastic, and actually acts as a mini heatsink.

A nice little feature in most ICS builds....hidden nicely under the development settings, is the option to set your background processes limit, along with the option to destroy activities once the user leaves them.

I run both of these features, and seldom see active ram usage above 250, and battery temps seldom if ever go above 36° C...

It's nice ....and seems to keep the battery healthy.....12 hours since charging, and still at 65%....g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Certainly ....

I'm using Flappjaxxx ICS IMM76D UCLF6 BUILD #5

Go to system settings/developer options/applications sub menu at the bottom of the screen.

There you will see the option to destroy user activities, and limit or turn off all background processes.

I currently have the limit set to 2 background processes ...

I'm unsure if other roms contain these options, but I know the above rom does.

I hope this helps you .....g

PS Thanks Aman!
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
It's likely half the rating if that. There's a reason these are so cheap. They're crap, and fake.

Best scenario: Everything works, albeit the battery doesn't last as it should.

Worst scenario: Ends up breaking your phone.
[Nexus S Accessories] dartmouthy:
Yikes. Yeah if the voltage wasn't 3.7V I'd stay away from it - my initial thought was that they might not be Li-Ion. Do they have a factory in Hong Kong specializing in printing fake labels to put over old 1000 mAh batteries? lol. Well I'll let you know how it goes, either way I was told it "shipped"...

I'm running Codename Android 3.5 with the latest stable Air Kernel at the moment, and that gives me a good 3.5 hours of screen time and 30 hours running time in general typically between charges - with my old-ass original battery. Maybe I should just be happy with that and not take the chance of plugging this guy in :/

He's got a 99% feedback rating and 700 sales so we shall see.
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
It's a worst case scenario. Most likely it will simply not hold a good charge. I don't believe they have a factory specialized in printing fake labels. They just have a very optimistic way of calculating these things. :p

Then again, aren't you surprised they can cram supposedly 2450mAh in the same format of a quality Samsung 1500mAh battery? That's more than 50% added to the OEM battery in the same size battery. And for cheaper.

I got this rule in life, but even more so with chinese electronics. If it seems too good to be true, it's probably too good to be true.

[Nexus S Accessories] Geko45:
I just received one of these (charging up now). I will report back with performance results after a day or two of use.
[Nexus S Accessories] dartmouthy:
Does anyone know of a tool or utility to verify the stated capacity of the battery? I used battery spy but it didn't really have a stats page other than to see the graph of power related activity. My son's battery has been working fine for the past couple of weeks. He seems to get about 36 hours runtime with WiFi GPS and sync on. No 3g data plan just a my5 talk and text. Typically 3 hours screen time, 30 mins talk time, over that 36 hour charge. If there's an app for this let me know and I'll put up some screenshots.

This is essentially idle standby performance which I thought was pretty good!

[Nexus S Accessories] dartmouthy:
What do you mean? Are you being snarky or is that supposed to be funny or something? Lol.
[Nexus S Accessories] darko94:
@dartmouthy

In order to properly test your battery vs stock one, some battery testing software is needed : obviously:

Look at these apps

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.NanoDinamics.NovaTester

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.batterybench&feature

note: the first app's description is in russian but app language is in english and it does give exact capacity in mah and both app take long time for testing.

Choose app you like and if you or your son have enough spare time try to test it out. Also state what ROM and kernel you're using. Then we can see does battery really have stated capacity.
[Nexus S Accessories] mdean1981:
I was being a little of both. It just cracks me up to see people post their battery stats but yet the phone was never used. No harm sir just making a bit of a funny out of something commonly seen. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] bmszabo:

[Nexus S Accessories] weedy2887:
Idle usage is very important, what if his phone we bugged and it died in a day?

Or the battery has like 500mAh and it died in a day with no usage?

Now we know his NS is a stable platform.

Antutu has a "drain battery ASAP and count hours" bench you might want to try. It's something you can run in a couple hours.
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
I'd love to see some more battery stats on this option - any updates? It's possible that the battery is not reporting usage "honestly" either... I've seen that on other phones, that suddenly drop from 75% to 10%!
[Nexus S Accessories] assassinoid:
love to have it :D
[Nexus S Accessories] karajim80:
Anyone tested this battery?

I 'd like to hear some stats cause i'm searching one of these.
[Nexus S Accessories] iss0:
I charged it two times now and this is the first day of real usage. I listened to music on the way to work ~30min using bluetooth headset. Texted a bit with WhatsApp and received and send some sms. No calls so far.

All in all not thaaat good. The stock battery wouldn't behave different I think.
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
7 hours of use and only at 72%? That's fantastic. I might order one now.
[Nexus S Accessories] ej8989:
That's quite impressive if you're using a custom rom and a custom kernel.
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
Where did you buy this battery specifically? eBay? Which seller, if you don't mind me asking?
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
Agreed with you.

How is that impressive? With so little use, 72% isn't anything to go crazy about. With my phone in my pocket at work for 10 hours i'll have lost around 6-7% battery... o_O
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
72% after 7 hours is pretty good in my opinion, especially if he was listening to music for 30 minutes. I'm lucky to be at 50% after 7 hours, and that's with maybe 45 minutes of screen use and two email addresses syncing...
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
He barely used the screen if you check the screen capture. That's the kind of life you'd get from a newish stock capacity battery.

For your example, that's just bad though. Is your Nexus S battery old? Did you buy it used? Depending on the amount of charge cycles, if the phone was kept in hot spots for extended periods of time (front pocket?) or it was always drained to 0%, this can greatly impact the capacity of your battery to hold its charge. That's ignoring if your phone has apps creating wakelocks for extended periods of time obviously.

As usual, BetterBatteryStats is the software I'd recommend if you're trying to troubleshoot battery drainage issues. You can find a great deal of small problems and software you didn't expect to be keeping your phone awake with it. :)
[Nexus S Accessories] iss0:
It is empty :(

Soo, after watching Skyfall (thumbs up!) and having absolutely no signal indoors :D the battery drained faster than I would've thought. It's empty, so empty that the phone went off without shutting down before. I think I need to wipe the battery stats before I can say more about this battery. I listened 20 minutes of music on my way back from work. Answered a phone call 2 minutes and chatted on WhatsApp again. I entered the cinema with ~65%. But I can't say for sure.

Sorry, but I'm not allowed to post links yet. Bought it on ebay. ;) It was called "2450mAh High Capacity Gold Battery For Samsung Nexus S i9020 T939 i8000 i900 " from "buyyouwant2011".

But honestly, if someone somewhere could build a battery with this high capacity for this price: Every hardware builder would use them... I don't wanna kill our dreams, but as I will stay testing, I am not very confident that this battery is any better than the stock one.

Additional info on my rom:

I am using JellyB-TSM 9 with v0.36.6-TSM kernel. No OC no UV.
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
I bought the phone used, so it's very possible the battery was "abused". The only apps that seem to be draining anything is Maps and Exchange services. I could disable location services, I guess... but unfortunately I need exchange services for work... hence why I'm trying to port in the Touchwiz email app that allows for peak/offpeak scheduling of syncing.

I might try and find a brand new sealed OEM battery to replace this one with to see if that helps. I won't bother with a screenshot, but today I'm down to 70% after 5.5 hours off charge, with screen use of 35 minutes. Exchange services is at 18% of use, and Maps is 12%.
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
Yeah I've heard Exchange can take a lot of juice, some people even report it seems to get stuck in a loop sometimes. Can't comment otherwise because I don't use it.

Without disabling location services there's a way to stop Maps from starting all the freaking time at every event. You can use Autostarts (not free) or Gemini App Manager (free) to do that.

If you don't use Maps & don't have an app asking for location, it won't be running in the background doing nothing but wasting your battery.

Not that our usage is directly comparable, but after 7 hours and a half although with only 9 minutes of screen on time, I'm at 89% battery left. Some quick texting earlier but nothing synced.
[Nexus S Accessories] gfinockio:
Pretty much if I can get 20-24 hours of use as-is, I'll be pleased. I usually can plug in at work, and also charge at night... but there are some days I don't get a chance to do either.

I'm going to keep fooling around with the phone, and I'll keep an eye out for brand new OEM batteries as well.
[Nexus S Accessories] polobunny:
From a 98% charge I'll usually go down to 60% by the end of the day at which point I'll put the phone on the craddle at home. I'll try to get more appropriate usage stats if I can get some time to use my phone (usually happens before bed time, other than for the quick txt shooting and the like).

And iss0, that's not surprising. Many bad quality batteries will look like they'll hold a charge then woop, suddenly they'll plummet to 0% in a matter of minutes. Not talking specifically about cellphone batteries here, but I imagine the same would apply.

Battery stats have nothing to do. They get wiped when you charge your phone fully, and they don't affect in ANY way your battery life. You could technically have completely fudged up battery stats and stay on the last % forever. Battery stats serve nothing but to give you and idea of how discharged your phone is.
