I know there are usb broadband sticks, but I'd like to keep it clean without this big block on the side of a tablet/docking station.

as far as I can tell the MiFi is just like a phone, but takes a sim card, so instead of via usb you just have it sitting nearby and connect to it via wireless?

that's good, but what about the connectivity from MiFi to tablet, is it close enough to not give any speed grief? for example plugging it in via usb would be a better connection.

I was more looking for a device that you have to open up your tablet, and you slot the device in somewhere, so the power runs off the tablet. even if you have to solder it on, doesn't exist?

I don't really want to use my phone unless I have to, as a back up battery type of thing for long trips, perhaps I could buy another battery for my phone, or have a MiFi, whichever battery lasts longer. yes I'm very picky haha, soz :D

[HTC One X] Zorachus:
I am ditching Verizon, and my cool Galaxy Nexus, running CM10. Going to pick up an international One X to use on Straight Talk. I really love the gorgeous display on the One X, plus the sexy cool design as well. And I am burned out on my last few Samsung phones, for crappy GPS locking, and pissy radios and WiFi.

Anyways, I use my phone a lot during the day, and prefer battery life over cool whiz bang features. I have read people saying that Sense based ROM's offer much battery life over CM10 JB ROM's, is that true ?

I like the look and feel of stock Android Jellybean, but won't install a CM10 ROM if it has poor battery life, and am willing to give a good Sense ROM a shot if it will offer better battery life ?

Opinions wanted please, thanks.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
To me, sense now has amazing battery life, can't say it did have not to long ago. The latest sense based roms include superb battery life even with moderate to full use my battery holds out even past the end of the day. However, I can't comment on how this compares with aosp and aokp roms, I never really stray from sense you see, not now it's improved dramatically both in performance and battery life :)

To me, sense roms, down to personal preferences but like I said, I haven't tried any other roms other than sense :)

Good luck.

[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
In my experience Sense ROMs are significantly better when it comes to battery life. Standby times are simply amazing. Also the sense camera is much better than whats included in CM10.
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
I Agree, the one thing i like about sense ROMs is the camera app. i pretty much hate the rest of the sense. but from what i've seen my battery life with sense wasnt so bad. But i've fall in love with PA ROM.
[HTC One X] chaun1308:
Android Revolution HD has a very decent battery life and silky smooth on everything ... Go for it :good:
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Which of the CM10 ROM's offers the best battery life for the One X ?
[HTC One X] ououououo:
I'm using Tbaldens cm10 (a12 atm, a13 is available), and battery life has improved alot with the latest releases. Yesterday i got aprox 3h screen time with some light gaming, lots of music listening and browsing web and xda rest of the time. I cannot comment on other cm10 roms since i only been using this one.
[HTC One X] Zorachus:
Does that CM10 ROM offer any customization like center clock in the status bar, or is it just a pure CM10 build only, no extras ?

I can imagine the screen on the One X has to look absolutely beautiful with the CM advanced color settings ?
[HTC One X] ououououo:
It's pure... But fast :) I briefly tried some others with more customizations but they were not perfect smooth. I have gotten so used to it so it's hard to forget when trying other roms. You could look for standalone mods i guess if u would go with this one, however I'm not at all updated with content so don't know how much there is/what is available.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Why don't you try Viper X (sense ROM), you can remove most sense UI bits and make it look very close to AOSP without compromising on battery life or other sense features (i.e: Camera, FM Radio)
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
Love the look of the stock JB ROMs, but the battery life just doesn't do it for me. I will suffer with Sense's look until more efficient ROMs are available.
[HTC One X] ystokar:
sense by far

sense by far... (using cm10)
[HTC One X] dexteristheshiz:
I've used Viper (Sense) and a few CM10/AOKP ROMs and the non-sense ROMs have FAR, FAR inferior battery life.
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
Which bits can you remove though? I for one cannot stand the Sense Dialer, Contact List, Gallery, SMS app and Music Player. If they can be replaced with stock ICS apps that would be pretty awesome. ;)
[HTC One X] Drabir Alam:
I used have a GNex that ran on Minco v4 (Stolen, hope the thief rots in hell and the phone blows up in his hand to send him there), Now I have a OneX with ViperX 2.2.1 and Faux Kernel. The battery life is significantly better. I have tried JB roms in my HOX but all of them were a bit buggy and had very poor battery life. You should definitely go for a sense rom with faux kernel.

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:16 PM ----------

Try this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705334. I use ViperX and it offered me to remove sense when it updated to 2.1. But that messed up the phone completely and I had to restore from a nandroid backup. But this rom seems to have a non-sense version and people don't seem to be complaining much. Maybe worth a try
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
how much screen time are you getting using sense ROMs. and mainly what do you use it on. because I'm pretty satisfied with my battery life on JB ROM.
[HTC One X] Baldilocks:
I was losing about 5% every 10 minutes with the screen on the lowest setting with any current Jelly Bean ROM.

I get 4+ hours on screen time at 50% brightness with OrDroid's SENSE based ROM.

I text a lot, words with friends, draw something, news apps, music...
[HTC One X] Everlasting:
I'm doing 4h ish too with paranoid android. mostly IMs twitter instagram. ebook reading and sometimes draw something. browsing if necessary.
[HTC One X] zigackly:
Wow, 4hrs is a lot! i barely get 2.5 hours + 45mins talk time on Ordroid with 3g usage at 3 hours and wifi during work. Came to this thread to see if any JB improvements had been made recently.

You guys on the stock Ordroid kernel? Underclocked?
[HTC One X] Marc199:
I would use a good custom kernel. I'm currently using slim bean with ncx kernel and I get 4.5 hours of screen time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jamcar:
i would like a script that would shutdown from a script but not immediately ( like not a battery pull) because i know off an app that does that but i don't want to do that i want a safe shutdown. if you ask why i need this and not just hold the power button then it is because when i hold down the power button i dont get the menu.........
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
I'll post this here as well.

Hold the power button for 8 seconds and it will turn off. Or so says the stock Task Manager.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonQTX:
Guys, I am new to XDA and new to Android. I was a blinded iPhone follower until now. I believe that I can do more with an Android phone than my iPhone. I don't think that I will try another iPhone. I thing its time to try something else. Of all the phones out there the one that I like the most is the Galaxy Nexus. I have heard that it is the most customizable phone out there. In the other hand I see all this other new phones that can do all kind of crazy new things that I believe the Nexus will not be able to perform the same way being an older phone.

Is there a NEW Galaxy Nexus coming out soon? Are there any rumors or speculations?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Nothing coherent yet. There may be up to 5 new Nexii, there might not be. LG, Sony, HTC might be making the new one; they might not be. However, if google keep to their rough schedule it should be out before the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nocturnal86:
Im sure there is a new one or "ones" coming out its just the "when" it will happen. And i personally hope soon! And if they keep the price down and let the phone be unlocked like the Google Play GNEX is it will sell butloads
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No one knows when Google will release another Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rooster85:
But its also not usually all secretive and we don't line up for hours to buy the new nexus

Prepaid

Thanks for the info on PREPAID...

I just read the prepaid link in your message and I liked what I read.

Is it 100% accurate?

I am thinking on going with T-mobile and get the $30 web offer. 100 minutes for me its a lot. I hate phones and I hate talking over the phone.

I am paying $150 a month for a unlimited iPhone plan with ATT contract. I like that it is unlimited but if I don't use it!!!!!

Thanks again.

DonQ:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
$150 a month? That's a lot even by crazy standards. iPhone doesn't even have LTE.

Only problem is that iPhone, like most phones, I believe, doesn't support the t-mobile 1700 band. Which means no HSPA+ data; you'd be limited to EDGE. They are in the process of changing to the 1900 band, but distribution is limited. Straight Talk is another prepaid option that allows you to be carried by AT&T for $45; see that thread. Also, some of the other guys in that thread were pushing Solavei, which will supposedly be similar. I have no real idea about those two, however, because I too use the $30 t-mobile plan with my penta-band Nexus.

Ok, EVERY ics or above rom wipes my imei and renders the phone useless. I'm not a noob by any means, I follow the directions to the letter, and the imei number is toast EVERY time! I even backed it up, restored it... but it still shows just a bunch of stars. What in the world am I doing wrong?

The trouble started when I flashed the a mtd jb rom. I restored from the backup, got data back, but phone had no sound during calls. I had to go back to stock via a one click to restore the imei number. I was running jb right up until the mtd change. Now, I can't run ANYTHING, CM7 or above. No matter how or what I flash, it wipes the imei

I've been working on this for a week now, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm lost and back to gingerbread until I figure something out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Just wondering. Did you back it up with the EFS in the Infuse Toolkit? According to the OP, EFS Partition Backup (protect your phone's IMEI information, find unlock info) forum.xd

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1702026
[Samsung Infuse 4G] klloyd:
No, I used what ever the app is posted on the jb pages. Quick and simple. Makes a folder called eds backup. Inside u find a .tar file with the whole folder zipped up. I didn't find a place in the toolkit for restoring just that info. I can't even do.cm7 now, anything above gingerbread wipes the imei number, every single time.

If there were a one click to ice or jb, might would help. Beats me. I'm.completely stumped now. Never had trouble flashing anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Which JB were you trying to use? You might as well one click back to GB, try the toolkit in CWM, back up the EFS, and then flash one of the ICS ROMS. After flashing ICS ROM and before you reboot, use the toolkit to restore EFS and test it to see if it works. Not sure why it is happening with ICS but you never know what will work sometimes. That's half the fun of testing and most of the frustration of testing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] klloyd:
I know ALL about frustrating! You know, with all I've done, restoring it BEFORE I reboot on the install hasn't even entered my mind! Ill give it a shot. As for which one.... all of them of course!

Ill look closer at the toolkit, maybe it will work. Ill let you know!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] OvaHex:
Just curious, but what version of cwm are you flashing from? It was suggested somewhere that it may depend upon if your flashing from cwm5/6 or 3/2, and I believe it may be true.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] klloyd:
OK, I've backed up the efs folder via the toolkit, BUT, nowhere.in there is there an option to restore it. I looked and looked! Whole rom,, different scripts, nothing about restoring the info u just backed up.

Now I went from red cwm to cm9, blue, early version. Everything was working fine until I switched from Scott's 8/31 build to cypher.(is that right?) Cyphers worked fine, but I've never been able to flash any other rom since, unless its a gingerbread rom. They all fail. The failures started with paranoid 2.0 9/6 build. I had no trouble until then. I've run every rom out there at one time or another, never had a moments trouble. Now on the other hand, I'm stuck!

BTW, I've even tried roms prior to mtd, still wipes the imei number. That is cm7, cm9 early versions.

I actually did the search on here... most of which pertains to the nexus and its imei being incorrect due to a GPS file. The windows file, efspro I've found is missing files, or doesn't work in.windows 7. I've not made it to trying Odin yet, but I'm gonna try tonight. The part that is confusingbme is, why can't I flash files BEFORE mtd? Something has changed...

There is anything that i can do to recovery or see what is doing this? I can access the phone via adb shell... i doesn't want to flash my cellphone again and configure everything... and yes, i have titanium backup but i was waiting my feel to flash JB again to make a backup... :cyclops:

i'm sure by now most people have gotten there hands on the leaked NullDC apk, that's right folks for those of you who don't know, there is a dreamcast emulator for android, as far as i can tell the project is very much alive and looks like the dev has simply been busy with his actual life, but has secretly been working on it, after literally years of silence here is an unlisted youtube video of a more current buld then the 0.1 Alpha that got leaked, even the Alpha runs ridiculously well on single core devises and approximately twice the speed on dual core, for games like power stone and crazy taxi (with video glitches, to be expected on an Alpha), but say MVC2 runs slow no matter what (But it runs!) the Alpha only runs .Gdi's. so HAVE AT THEE!!! let's put together a little compatibility list for the devs to look at, i'm a biology major so i really can't help in the actual programming department, but hey we do what we can, and i really wanna do my bit for this project, but the devs have expressed disdain for people even having there apk, so if they wish it, you know this is coming down.
