So as you guys all know, the earphones that came with the phone have a button and a volume + and -. So when I plug in my earphones to the phone (phone is in silent/vibrate mode), and I push the button on the earphones, it starts playing audio out of my music player. However once I do that, my phone's sound settings gets flipped to unmute audio on no vibrate. Is there a way to make it just play media and still remain in vibrate/silent? It's annoying because even though media plays through the earphones, when a call comes through it plays out of my phone's back speakers.

Doesn't seem to work for me as I am using PowerAmp. The button will automatically initiate playback. I tried adjusting poweramp settings as well, but it's weird how it would just swap up Sound On/No Vibrate and this leads to phone call ring to be played from speakers even though my earphones are plugged in.

If you are using poweramp and still having this problem, I have found a solution. Go into power amp settings for the headset and uncheck the beep option.

Hello,

I have a very big problem with my new google nexus 7. I bought it two days ago. My tablet sometimes when is connected to wifi network (at home, at work etc.) automatically shut down on sleep mode. Does anyone have the same problem like me? This is very frustrating and I don't know what to do. I think about asus service but maybe is some solution. Please help. I will be very grateful.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikestony:

There is no magic to clone phones. If your old phone was on a different rom or version, you'd have to install or flash it on new phone and you'd also have to re download all your apps etc and set them up again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
Could be a long shot, but if you make a nandroid backup with a certain recovery then flash that same recovery on the new one and try to restore it, you could be the luckiest man ever.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You can do nandroid swaps but they are tricky, you have to use a recovery that will let u choose what to backup/restore and you can only choose, system and data, and you have to flash the rom and kernel before restoring the 2 options they will restore all system apps&data and user apps&data without restoring anything device specific. Rom and user data only that way

Yeah not completely lmao. You can actually restore everything but wimax, but it can cause issues if the hw versions are different. So i found using a recovery with advanced restore options and restoring system, data, and sd-ext(if partitioned) will get it back up and running almost exactly the way it was, you may need to re-add Widgets and set ringtones and stuff but at least for the most part you're there, also using TiBu Pro, mybackuproot, or ultimate backup you can move all of your apps and their data to the new phone as well as all of the backups, and you can backup and restore browser history, bookmarks, call logs, SMS&MMS and wifi access points using TiBu pro.

I don't want to abandon the custom ROMs and Android but this is getting too time consuming and causing problems. This is my final request for some solutions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I don't quite understand. You don't have to flash, customize, or tinker with your phone at all. How much time you spend doing this is up to you. The phone works fine out of the box which is what you'll get with iPhone. If you want to get rid of bloat, then root it and remove the stuff you don't want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Clark Joseph Kent:
Solution might be to find a ROM and stay with it, keep in mind flashing and or using custom ROMs are not for everyone, if you enjoy learning and bettering your knowledge and device well then it's the ticket for you, but if you find things are not working for you and you have hard time understanding, then maybe flashing custom ROMs are not your game...:)

There is nothing wrong with staying Stock and or Stock straight out of the box, as stated some have found that best for them.

Thank You.

I would prefer someone help. It's obvious something I'm flashing or how I am flashing it is borking the phones. Most likely the latter.

I got the old one on stock rom stock recovery. Its the same, very unresponsive. It takes 5 minutes just to set the language on the att start screens. The other phone is balking at connections with odin, im trying to put in only a bootloader and its got a green bar but the big area says BOOT is not changing color yet, like its at the last step and it stopped. Its odin 1.85 since the newer ones seemed worse.

edit:

I got the old phone going, I think its fixed! I flashed the stock rom via odin thats on the forums. I used stock recovery to clear a couple caches. Then flashed cwm standard, from march or so, I used it to clear everything possible except sd card which was recently formatted as well but it has roms now. I flashed a nice safe collective mesosphere seraphim ics rom and its snappy and responsive. I think there is something wrong with some newer things, I dont know what, but I had no problems before I started with JB. fyi, bricking two phones is not normal for me.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyLinUK:
Since Tuesday, I am the happy owner of the Note II. I bought the SIM free model from MobiCity and use the 3 UK micro SIM I had in my iPhone (which has gone to ebay :))

I installed the firmware update this evening and after rebooting, I am greeted with a roaming screen and a warning that I have no mobile data because data roaming is switched off.

I have a UK SIM and the phone detects my UK location correctly. I read somewhere that there was a bug which had data roaming enabled irrespective of the system settings.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible the fix (if actually there is one) does its job too well?

So today, with pretty heavy usage (at work...checking facebook, twitter, email, web, texting, maybe 15 mins of youtube) I ran through all 100% of my Samsung 2100mah battery from 7:30am until 1:30pm. And I put my 100% fully charged third-party 2200mah battery in right after and now it's at 40% by now.

Unbelievably how terrible the battery life is with the S3.

This is with wifi turned off. with GPS and bluetooth turned off. with not a ton of apps running in the background.

So 1.6 fully charged batteries in 10 hours of occasional use. Wow.

The battery life is like 95% the only reason why I miss my iPhone.

ps. yes I've done the fully charging and fully discharging thing with these batteries.

In the morning I'll be just reading news on Flipboard and Pulse with brightness at like 60% and running wifi, no GPS running, with no huge apps in the background and it can go from 100% to 90% in like 30 minutes of reading news.

Okay, I know comparing battery stats is almost pointless but I will finally share my experience.

I am a copier technician. I work roughly 8-10hr days. I am literally constantly on my phone. Why? Because I use OTG USB A LOT. My usb flash drive is connected to my phone from the time I get to my first service call, to the time I get in my truck to drive home. I use OTG because I have to use different service manuals through out the day. So I am constantly accessing my flash drive for at least 45 minutes, each hour, every hour until my day is done. By the time I get home, I am down to about 30% or so, give or take 5% maybe. I use it at home to browse XDA until it just about dies. Charge it all night, than do it all again the next day. By the way, on my way to and from work, I play music in my truck. So roughly I get 10-14hrs out of my stock battery.

I have 58 apps installed. And Adobe Reader and sometimes that stock PDF doc viewer bloat is constantly running because my service manuals are pdf.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] caspersfi:
IDK.... There are so many threads/posts about battery life. I enjoy my Smartphone to the fullest. Run a ton of apps and and many widgets.

I used to try to do EVERYTHING to increase battery life, task managers, Better Battery Stats, going thru cycles of discharging and charging, wiping batt stats, calibrating battery, (which I still do). Underclocking, messing with voltages, etc etc etc.

It got to the point where I was so concerned about battery life I was missing all the great features of these phones.

I use my phone and all its features to the full potential. I bought a cpl batteries I keep charged around me incase I need them. And Overclock and just enjoy my phone.

Watching my battery life constantly and doing everything thing I can to increase it just took the fun out of of having a Smartphone with all these features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] martinium:
What I've noticed on my att GS3 is that the battery destroyer without a shadow of a doubt is the LTE/HSPA+ radio. With this on battery drains at least 10% per hour especially with the LH9 update. As a test I shut off only mobile data toggle and the amazing battery life I had with my iPhone 4 returned on a more advanced phone. However, that came at the cost of having to shut off the mobile data connection. Mobile data toggle off all day at work 8+ hours and when I got home battery was like 85%.

I believe the data radio is the culprit and I hope they learn how to optimize its battery usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] howlingmoon12:
Had the same issue with the stock battery I had for 2 months, where just playing music screen off with about 15 minutes of data drained ~40% of my battery in about 2 hrs.

Rooted phone with CM10 ROM, stock battery installed - I get about 13 hours of extremely heavy usage (Wi-fi, Bluetooth on, 3G when not near Wi-fi, checking Facebook, stocks, mail, etc.) out of mine:

I'd say you've got a bad battery, or a bad phone, or your ROM is bonked - there's no way you're burning through that much juice with normal operation. Maybe talk to your provider and see if you can swap the handset?

Oh, and discharging/charging your batteries does absolutely nothing. Li+ batteries have no memory, so you don't need to drain them - just use them out of the box and they'll work fine.

I work on the border of Texas and Mexico; the stock ROM, which I'm currently running, does not have the ability to select which phone network to connect to, so if the Texas tower is weak and the Mexican one is strong, I'm on International Roaming, which is not cheap!

I've turned off Intl Call Roaming for now, but what happens is that the phone still gets 'captured' by the Mexican signal, I just don't have any service at all.

The stock ROM allows turning off data roaming, but not voice roaming [that menu item is grayed out]. I'm considering rooting and installing a custom ROM; if anyone call tell me which ROM(s) allow network selection, I'd much appreciate it.
