Like any other new devices, there will always be a learning curve to get familiar with. I'm sure if I will use an Iphone (never owned one ) I will be going through the same familiarization. The good thing with Android is that there are more options for customization.

Some people prefer simplicity like Symbian and IOS, while others like to do more of there smartphone and chooses Android.
[Galaxy S III General] razorjumper:
I must agree that transition from IOS to android was not easy. It was frustrating for me when i first got my android. I wasnt even a basic iphone user! I jailbroke my iphone and did alot of stuff to it but still had problem understanding android.

But the effort was well worth it :D
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
I had a few iPhones before and I fail to understand a few points:

1. iOS doesnt have app drawer, so it put installed app on deskop one after another.

2. iPhone also dont sort apps alphabetically, but latest installed is last on deskop.

3. In iOS also Siri, iMessage... isnt turned on by default, but you have to turn on them in settings.

4. In iOS you also cant delete stock apps like Stocks, Newsstand etc. You cant even move Newsstand to a folder

6. My SGS3 got much better battery life than iPhone 4s, which is known it doesnt have good battery life.

8. In iOS you also need aditional accounts for additional things like Dropbox, facebook etc. There you must write Apple ID password every time to install app.

Thats why when I recommend Android phone to anyone, I completely customize it for them, even for my +30 years sons, most people dont bother learning how to, and I dont blame them :rolleyes:

I remove all the battery consumption functions, like google backups, set the accounts for the phone, so they have their contacts on gmail, customize play store, GO launcher, GO SMS, Titanium backup, flash last rooted ROM, home screens with clock and date widgets, most used apps, another screen for games and utilities, etc...
[Galaxy S III General] CuBz90:
Anyone that cba to learn how to use an Android phone really shouldn't be using an Android phone.

Tell her to stop being "ilazy" and start learning how to use it, or get back to the iPhone if she isn't willing to learn.

When I recommend Android to an iPhone user I always tell them not to bother if they're not willing to learn how to use it.
[Galaxy S III General] Acidpunk:
It's good that people are interested in trying Android and moving over to the non walled garden side lol

However a lot of the problems outlined in the first post are pretty much a reasonable account of what happens when you switch someone over from iOs to Android, It's not the users fault.

The problem is as Apple iOS users they have become used to certain user interface paradigm's and when they switch to Android which to be fair can look like whatever the hell you want it to look like and they get overwhelmed.

That's nothing to do with the user being smart or not, it's just being used to it.

That's why for as much as a I HATE Touchwizz I understand why Samsung make it and add it to their phones, I'm just happy I can get rid of it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeEazy:
Okay so I've been messing around with roms lately and I'm somewhat a flashaholic lol

But now I'm really looking for something flexible but GOOD on battery life.

What Combo is best for battery life?

such as Modem & Kernal (+ Rom)

I'm currently on this (at the moment):

Rom: MIUI V4 (360 PRODUCTIONS)

Kernel: 3.1.10-subZero-1.6 End_of_Line)) #167

Baseband Version: T959UVKA7

My battery life isn't really too special, I have wifi on, 3G preferred, auto brightness, sound on high. . .

85% - Discharging 2h 5m 30s on Battery

Any ideas on bettery battery life or is this pretty much good/normal?

also my battery isn't a samsung battery its an MYBAT 3.7V LI-ION Battery VLN-08 1200mAH . not too sure if that plays a big role in this.

sidenote: TWS IS ONLY 4%.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
I'm going to make an assumption here, and perhaps it is an incorrect one.

I've installed countless ROM's on my Vibrant, and I've had mine a VERY long time (got mine the week before the official launch...long story).

I've found no roms that match the overall battery life of Samsung 2.2 froyo based roms. It is for this reason that, though I've tinkered with practically every single gingerbread, ics, and jb rom ever released, I always go back to my personal favorite as a daily driver. Project V w/Bali 1.8.8 kernel and KB5 baseband.

My assumption is that the "black box" effect is at play. Getting the last baseband available to us (KB5) to happily play with later builds of android has always been an exercise in frustration. Sure it has been made to "work" with later builds, but given the closed nature of it it's clear it just doesn't work as seamlessly well with anything else.

My battery life with 2.2 based roms has always been way better than later android builds, often lasting twice or more as long.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeEazy:
Thanks for the link I'll take a look at it.

@masterotaku : Everyone says Froyo has the worst battery life ever :\ but I also believe what works for my phone may not work for yours, and I do know Froyo is a very stable rom it was the rom i ended up going back to and sticking with on my MyTouch .

LET'S MAKE A BETTER BATTERY LIFE FUTURE FOR ALL

​

I thought I would start this thread for our phone. I have the AT&T HOX, but any carrier that uses the msm8960(Snapdragon S4 Dual Core

chip) should participate. Sorry Tegra 3, different chips different, battery concerns.

Basicly, I just wanted a place where everyone could

report there battery life, things there doing to get it(if good or bad), and fixes or ideas to increase battery life. This way everyone can

benefit from others knowlage and experiance.

I personally just got my HOX as a replacement for my broken SGSII, and as it is a

refurbished device, I am having a few concerns. One being that my battery life is horrible. Its been on average draining between 20

-30%/hr. So, at the advice of another member I got the better battery stats app and checked it out and found that HTCDm was the

process preventing my phone from going into deep sleep(better battery Stats has pretty good documentation as to how to use it, if you

choose to use this app just read the documentation. It is short but precise). Upon further investigation I found that that process was the

one that checks for firmware updates and throws the message about "there's an important update for your phone". I didn't want it

yet(because of the no root issue on 2.20 and I haven't unlocked yet because I want to make sure that everything is okay with this phone

before I void the warranty). I'm not sure what else HTCDm does besides the firmware update check, but I froze it anyway with TiB and it

drastically increased my battery life as my phone now properly goes into deep sleep. :laugh: But all is not perfect yet, as my phone still

drains at about 20 – 30% per hour when the screen is on:crying:. I'm not sure if it is a battery issue and I am about to call AT&T right now

about it (it really sucks that they can't send me a new battery because it is not removable). But that is just me. If anyone has any

suggestions for me, I would love to hear them.

:fingers-crossed:SO EVERYONE PLEASE POST: :highfive:

P.S. You can Post more than 1 vote in the poll, 1 for normal use and 1 for heavy us. This should give us a good idea of the average battery life across all sorts of roms, kernels, setups, ect.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ksnax:
"TiB"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
Root and don't use a sense rom. Sense is okay, but it drains battery a lot (has been improved with 4.1 but still...). Also get rid of or freeze apps you don't use and/or don't need.

Oh and TiB stands for Titanium Backup I'm assuming.

I'm on 2.20 which I got new, and I disabled as much bloatware as I could. I can go a day from 100% in the morning to ~8:00 with 50% left. I use my phone for browsing XDA, texting, and playing a game or two. I consider it okay battery life, and I'm on stock! Trying flashing a different rom and see how the battery life goes.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Alcoholic:
We should do a poll with screen time instead.

Mine is 2-3Hr screen time (auto brightness) with heavy usage.

Sorry that, Isert and could not find one nor did it find one I was creating this thread. I was actually just coming back, because I just got the chance, to update the OP post with a much more detailed breakdown of what I was expecting from the thread and also I was going to delete out all of the stuff about my replacement and yada yada yada because I managed to get all of that fixed and Done:D and not only that I was also going to post in detail my success story of how I went from 3 to 4 hours battery life to on average 9 hours with moderate use. And as of yesterday I set my all-time record with 6 hours and 5 min. to go from 100% down to 6% battery left. What's that you say? That's not very good for your all-time record! And you would be correct but I haven't told you yet that I was actually on the phone with the screen on using it to make phone calls surf the Internet on Wi-Fi and LTE as well as running various apps downloading new apps and checking them out. So in total the on-screen time was around 5 hours and 45 min. with about 15 min. of sleep. so is the official battery. The one that I just saw on the 1st page that says "battery stats XL", I believe? If so I'll just make my post in that one.

Hi guys.

Totally Noob here.

First of all, i admire to helping ppl here, and many smart and genious hard working gys!

I flashed my x10i (i can swear, it was x10i !!) to 2.3.3, baseband ver.2.1.71,all was ok, till i spoted the phone converted to x10a(!?).

Also i have noticed some gray spot on my pictures, i suppose it's a software problem, what do you think?

And my music getting glitchy while playing on, if moving the phone. All the rest working great:silly:

So., i would like to downgrade to previuos firmware (cant find a healthy mirror link, so if someone could help, i'd appreciate it), but dont remember was it 2.1 or 2.2:((

So what do you suggest in my case plz?

p.s.

the phone is still sim locked, is there some software solution here to unlock, cuz cant unlock by code.

thx for all answers!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitefang3456:
Hi, maybe ya messed during flashing your rom. If rooted, try check ya buiklprop, see is there any line mentioning "x10a", try change it into "x10i" and reboot phone. :) Ur rom is official updated or custom? 2.3.3GB music player is wellknown buggy non smooth. Only can be solved if using other music player that supported. And about the link for 2.1 here from MY BUDDY'S thelogic :) hope helps

Whitefang
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THeLogiC:
no free solution for unlocking your sim.

Also the camera works perfectly in 2.3.3

either reflash the 2.3.3 rom using flashtool or repair using PCC or SEUS.

If music still is glitchy, use some stock based custom roms :)

Did you gain root access using the root injected method. This is a known problem by using that method. The only way to fix this (temporarly) is to boot into cwm and fix permissions. This should allow you to do what you please. Also use a different root browser because i noticed certain ones like root explorer borks it again which makes you have fix the permissions again. That is why i said its a temporary fix. But ever since i started using the paid version of Root Browser (which is very well worth the 99 cents btw) I have not seen this problem pop up since.

This is a theme for chrmhoffmann's CM9 rom. I based it on 0.5.3, but it should work on any version. it makes you tabet look and feel more like the Win 8 Metro UI.

to install:

flash the included zip

download desktop visualizer from the play store

download a file manager, I prefer ES Explorer

download and extract the MetroUItiles.zip to an easy to navigate place on the SD card

download ADW launcher, and copy adw_ex_settings from the MetroUITiles folder to the root of your sdcard

go into ADW launcher and click restore settings

open up desktop visualizer and use these settings for best effect:

ouch Effect : None

Default Vibration : On

Text Colour : Doesn’t matter as you shall be deleting the text for each tile

Background Colour : Transparent

Widget Usage : Deselected all apart from 4x4 as this is the only one you shall be using

Next place a 4x4 desktop visualizer widget on your homescreen

click on it, and when it says select image click it, open your file manager to your metrouitiles folder, and click on categories for a category, or the size you want for a specific app, and select it

under app to open select none for categories, or corresponding app to open for the others.

keep doing this and moving around the widgets into a way you like it

click thanks
