[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lownita:
Hi

I got a new sim card today and sadly when I try to use it, com.android.phone crashes after some time. APN is correct and everything works for a few minutes, then it crashes, recovers and after some time it crashes again. It is definetly the sim card thats causing the problem, because another card (same carrier) works fine.

Is there anything I can do about this beside requesting a new sim from my carrier?

Thanks!

I cannot seem to find this problem anywhere else here but forgive me if it is. I have a TF101 I believe pre B70 although I can't find anything that says that but I bought it in Aug of 2011. I have CWM 5.8.3.4 which was installed with the rom manager first mistake as it can't access my ext SD card. I had JB and wanted to go back to Revolution Rom as I was having some SOD issues and decided to use Super wipe. I think Super wipe froze as I was using it and after waiting 15 minutes after the 3rd format I rebooted. The CWM problem which existed before is that in order to not boot into CWM I had to hold the Vol down button and then when I got to WIPE DATA or ANDROID screen I could chose android and it would boot into the rom. I tried NVflash and ADB in APX mode and although device manager says it is in APX mode in I cannot get it to react to any commands. I have tried deleting and reinstalling the drivers from google and asus but nothing seems to work. I am not sure if I could use odin although I don't think it is recognized there either. I tried another computer and nothing. One thing I did do in CWMR is format everything but now I can't get it to mount /data. Any help would be appreciated

Cant mount sd card

Thank you for replying but

I cannot put anything on the sd card because

1 it won't mount

2 can't push anything to it because the computer won't see it (although device manager has it as APX)

bad joke but hey :silly:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jonnygee:
Got it

So I tried on a third computer and finally got the drivers to work in NVflash which took it back to Honeycomb. Wow what a relief.

Hi guys, as title say, i want to know wich kernel is better for battery life..

I´m on Unlimited ROM, by mv style, wich is really awesome. I´m using Mesa Kernel, but i read that Panic Kernel is good for battery life too.. And performance is also good. So.. wich kernel do you suggest me? Is Panic Kernel more battery friendly than Mesa?

Thanks

My Phone is a Mini Pro
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
I have never used MESA kernel so I can't compare the two

But kernel PANIC has good battery life... Better than rage and Kamarush v3 (no offense) (just my observations) :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] iONEx:
Get battery monitor widget from market and test those kernels yourself.

It's better to yee for yourself then to blindly trust :)

It's easy to do, flash kernel a and leave the phone in standby during the night. In the mornign look at the battery consumption graph in BMW.

Then you take kernel b and do the same with it.

Just be sure to use the same min frequency and same governor.

EDiT:

A ROM also influences battery life. So let's say that for user B MESA has excellent batt life, for user A it might be bad.

That's why it's better to test and see for yourself ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Furbus:
That's true....

Personally i try and aim to use a 'lite' rom + panic kernal if possible ....

But most phones give about 1 day worth of work. There are few that exceed that (ultimate? rom by mv_style)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
Hi initial photo review of this case. Will write a full review later tonight.

In a nutshell it is well made and light. Fits very well in trouser pocket. Does not feel bulky.

Price about £10.

You will find them on ebay in various colours.

If these photos help you decide. Feel free to hit the old Thanks button.

Glad to be of service.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zpiders:
That case looks great. I love how it protects the edged of the phone, unlike the official Samsung flip case. Does the flap stay closed using magnets?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
Yes it does. I will write a detailed review sometime today. Central heating pump failed and looking after a newborn has kept us busy. Lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
Thanks for the pics. A link or two to the ebay sellers would be nice, though...

Edit: Is this the same seller?

Also, does the magnet cause any issues with the s-pen?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fawaad:
Tried one out and found that I had to take the back cover off to fit the phone snugly.

Since the cover doesn't have an NFC chip, you will lose that functionality. The case doesn't fit on the phone with the back cover on unless the one I saw was a duplicate. Moreover the magnetic closure is flimsy too.

Just my 2 cents.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
The case has nothing to do with NFC... what do you mean?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
The NFC antenna is embedded in the Note 2's back cover.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
For the record. The handset clicked into case. Nothing had to be removed. Grips it fine. Must be a different case if you have to remove covers.

So far only really annoying thing is using it one handed. The folding cover is in the way of fingers.

There is a similar case that has a rotating cover. That would resolve this issue. Also enables a portrait stand.

Also as suspected. The home button is being pressed by the cover due to no recess (think thats the correct word) in the cover. This is activating the voice assistant. Disabled it as it is rubbish. But will mod cover at later date.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
Another little update, these stand cases are really good for watching iplayer etc. But I think I am going to buy a leather sleeve/pouch type case. Ive always used them with htc handsets, due to most usage is one handed. And save the stand case for movie time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zero.fx:
I bought the Original Samsung Note 2 flip case instead. Although it was expensive £30 .... but I think it looks really nice and still have NFC function.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Tubgirl:
The biggest flaw with the original Note 2 flip case is that the corners/edges are completely unprotected. If you drop the Note 2 and it lands on the corner it might shatter the whole screen.

Not enough protection for my taste...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sz1a:
I bought this case yesterday in a shop and was massively disappointed. If you fold the cover behind the phone to use it the phone is hard to handle and doesn't sit ergonomically in your hand.

BUT BIGGEST FLAW: The little magnet on the right side interferes with the wacom digitizer. Try pulling out the S Pen and draw a straight line along the right edge, and the line curves outward around the magnet.

I was about to return the phone when I realized the error was next to the magnet. Pulled it out of the case and problem gone. I could reproduce this problem anywhere on the screen by holding the magnet part next to it.

There are tons of reports if you google "wacom magnet s pen" about interference, so I would avoid using this case. There is apparently even a note about this in the manual somewhere.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaxReality:
In response. Regarding the case and holding it. I agree, does my head in sometimes. Hence why i may get a sleeve instead for when at work and use it one handedly most of the time. Regarding nfc, i aint convinced it would be affected until i get to test it. Regarding magnet, never noticed it until tested. Only effects 5mm of right side of screen and 15mm vertically, not the end of the world.

Just tested a piece of tin foil placed between handset and case at the point of the magnet. Didn't make any difference. Shame it cant be shielded.

Gotta say. The mobli is very well protected and the white case and mobile has yet to look dirty. Day job, hands get mucky.

Anyone got the case that the stand rotates? Does it make holding it less annoying?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sz1a:
So, can the magnet cause any permanent damage to the gyroscope, compass and wacom bundle? I did notice that the compass is off by 10 degrees with the case on versus off.

I've used the phone for a few days without the case and it gets greasy too fast. So its back into the case again. It is pretty sturdy, just wonder if its possible to extract the magnet somehow! Maybe lodge a knife in there or something.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
Anything that works by sensing the Earth's magnetic field, such as a compass, will be screwed up by a magnet in a case. It's really not worth buying a case that has a magnetic clasp...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sz1a:
I lodged a kitchen knife in between the magnet and the case and jerked around. It broke up into several pieces and came out attached to the knife. Since its either in my pocket or on a table the flap stays closed and no more magnetic issues.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yusssi:
...

isnt the NFC chip in the battery??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
... Why would they put the NFC chip in the battery? :rolleyes:

On the SIII, the NFC -ANTENNA- is in the battery... The chip is on the phone motherboard. In the Note II, the antenna is in the back cover. Are you blind? Have you never taken your back cover off?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mobilebuddha:
don't be so harsh.

some of us ex galaxy nexus owners had NFC built-in batteries..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] FloatingFatMan:
And? My previous device had its NFC antenna embedded in the main board somewhere. That doesn't mean I assumed the same was the case with the N2, and as soon as you take off the back cover, it becomes blatantly obvious that it's not.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] paris.gr:
Hi. Can you add more pictures from the front and 3/4 front please? I am really interested in this case. Excellent choice!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lingamkrishnan:
looks good..but can someone clarify the following points before i buy this case..

1. This case replaces the back cover..so what about NFC?/

2. is S-Pen sensitivity still fine after using this case because heard this case has magnetic material for closing?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sz1a:
S pen will not work well with the magnet. I broke mine off and put a piece of plastic/paper in there instead.

I tried holding a key card up to the back of the case and it vibrated so I assume nfc works. I don't have anything to try with.

Just dropped my phone with case today on subway. It didn't come out and not a scratch. Good investment.

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Yup nfc works with the case on, even with the flap folded behind. just tried by scanning my apt card. Turns out there is more nfc around than you think. The antenna is around the camera so u gotta hold it up there.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Verttex:
Greetings!

I am currently using a Sprint Epic 4g (SPH-D700) with ICS (CM9-epicmtd) and the regular Cyanogenmod kernel. I have followed the guides on here and on the CM9 forums for battery life including blacklisting certain apps, changing settings, messing around with performance settings, etc. With all of that, I usually get around a 4 hour battery with normal use (Spotify Music, GVoice Messaging, Occasional Reddit App), during school I have to charge it every other class or else it will die. I have become used to carrying my charger around but I think I figured something out so I wanted to know your ideas on it.

At home, I only use Wifi, I turn off 3g access. I can get 8hour battery at home. But right as I turn on 3g, I get MAJOR battery drain and the phone gets extremely hot.

I just wanted to know, is it the phone? The battery? The OS?

Thanks

Didn't wanna make a whole new thread so I hope this would be the right place to post this since I also want to know "is it the phone, the battery, or the os?" lol.

I'm having terriblee battery results with my phone. Its been happening for like 3 weeks now and I thought the reason was because my batteries got wet (I have like 5 batteries, 4-1500 mAh, and 1-1800mAh). They all die pretty quick I can get about 2-2 1/2 hours of screen time in about 12-14 hours. Which is terrible cuz I have screenshots that I randomlly took of my battery from before and there's times where I would get 4hrs of screen time on in about 20 hours total or I could go about 30 hours with 3 hours of on screen time. I've tried different ROMs and even odined to stock and tested things out and still my phone dies super quick.

My questions:

When the battery has water damage the little paper tab thingy turns pink right? What if it is removed completely?

And is there anyway that my phone just isn't working right because of having damaged battery?

Because right now I'm using a 3500 mAh battery and I'm getting almost the same results that I used to get with my 1500 mAh ones.

Does anyone know anything I could try to see what happens lol?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lart2150:
The problem is you upgraded to a leaked release at some point. If you were on a official version you could have used Kies to upgrade to 4.0.4.

I think your best bet now is to flash I727UCLF6 with odin. that's the official version that Kies would put on your phone.

I am only able to use up to 60% of the battery everyday. If i dont charge it overnight, it doesnt last the next day. So the question is, it is okay to charge it up from 40% every night? I used to put my DesireHD overnight on the charher and it didnt give any problems but it was almost out of juice after that much time.

So can i put my note2 for charging from 40% overnight everynight?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
Shouldn't cause too many problems but it is important to run the battery completely flat occasionally - this prolongs the life of the battery - charging from 40% all the time will shorten the lifespan of your battery but not immediately - I virtually never charge from fully flat on any of my devices and still have yet to see drastic battery life reduction, besides if the battery does eventually start to fail new ones are cheap and thankfully very easy to replace ;0)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMax99:
Wait a second...did you just said that it's good to drain your battery till completely flat...but then, you have never done this to any of your phones???
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper2005:
I believe it's better to not fully drain the battery before charging as frequent full discharges will shorten the life if Li-Ion batteries.

The only reason to do a full discharge maybe once a month is to calibrate the phone software (not to calibrate the battery per se, as it doesn't work with Li Ion).

So it is better to not let the battery drain fully before you charge it on a daily basis.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
Yeah that's exactly what I said - what's right and what I do don't have to be the same thing - it's like teaching kids - do what I say, not what I do lol.

What I am stating is what battery manufacturers recommend, but I'm also stating that, despite not following the recommendations, I've never had a problem with battery life (in modern phones/gadgets) despite not following the manufacturers recommendations
