[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Has anyone who has had this issue resolved it?

Like promiseoc, I can get the wakelock every time I use the gps, and shut it off later. So far, I've tried the fix in bbs using Gemini Manager and disabling latitude and all location services. I'm also not signed into google now. I use Latitude occasionally, but make sure to shut it off when not in use.

So far, I've had this problem on each of the AOSP-based roms I've tried (CM10, Liquid, and Slim). Great roms, all of them, but any other suggestions on what else I can try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
I guess we are just supposed to keep GPS on and forget about it. I don't like to because of paranoia but it seems like that's the fix. Happens across a library of devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
Oh well. If that's the only solution, so be it. I was always under the belief that drained battery, but then again I've never tested how much it does. May not be a big deal. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
The wakelock goes away if you reboot and I think it also does if you plug your phone into a charger even briefly. Of course, ensure it is not a charger that causes the vbus_wakelock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
Goes away with reboot but then you lose battery whilst media scanner runs. I now leave GPS on and forget about it. That is interesting about the charger, I will have to check it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dewaski:
Any word if this will be worked on in the new update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
If you leave GPS enabled it's a non-issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] habylab:
Sorry to revive, but I have this even with GPS always disabled.

Hi again, its a very good browser for WP7 but it still dose not support location services :(

If you open Bing or Google and tap on location they all say location is not available, this browser is 95% perfect it needs location support before you can use it as a replacement for the built in browser.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Does anybody know if theres a way to hide apps in the trebuchet launcher app drawer? I know other lauchers like Holo and Nova can do it, but it would be nice if the stock launcher for CM10 could do it too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Nope. Cant be done.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
Well, thanks for the to-the-point answer.

I figured as the primary launcher for such a customizable ROM like CM10, that might be something they looked into.

Any recommendations on launchers that can do this for free?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spiralzz:
Apex launcher.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someone516:
But like the androidlost app is able to hide itself from the app drawer, why can't I do that with other apps?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bofh999:
i know iam ressurecting an very old thread but its one of the first results searching for trebuchet and hiding apps in google so i think i shoult write the solution here.

i dont know for 10.0 but in 10.1 it CAN be done

unfortuante its an awefully hidden option

you have to go to setting - launcher - app - hideapps

i knew i saw it today when i walked trough the menus lol

upside it always shows all apps and you can simple toggle on of (unlike samsung touchwiz option)

but sadly the launcher is really the weak point here when it comes to organizing apps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someone516:
Yeah haha, they finally put it into cm 10.1. That's why this thread died.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssali shafiq:
To anyone who might still want to hide apps in cm 12. and above ,just go to launcher options and down click protect app. Do what is neccessary and select apps you want to hide and protect :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Ripley30:
I've been running this ROM for some time now, and am noticing about a 10% drain per 24hrs, and that's with 97% "deep sleep" according to CPUSPY. And CPU performance profile set on hotplug (not using SETcpu).

Anyone have any ideas on how to improve? I was running a CM7 Beta prior, and battery stamina was incredible, I could go for 2 weeks with moderate use on a single charge, this drain just seems to be a bit excessive.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] 424aca:
it is commonly known that so far...cm10 has terrible battery life (it is a bug in the original cm10). NOT FIXED yet
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lorddart:
I dunno cm10 used to drain about 10pct an hour even when wifi was off and screen off. Now it's 1-2pct a day that I've noticed its been solid for me. 10pct, a day doesn't sound too bad considering what it used to be
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] docnas:
Hey guys am I the only one who is getting extreme battery drain when listining to music and using the phone for anything else at the same time. I use battery monitor widget and i see the drain going into the 600's which is crazy high.

Just to make it clear, data is on bluetooth and wifi off screen on auto brightness and signal is 3-4 bars ie ok .

The phone bottom gets very hot and the battery percentage drops like a falling rock. Is something wrong with my phone or does anyone else see that kind of thing?

I am new to the SG3 and also wondering if its something specific to samsung phones as i never had issues like that with my HTC yes the battery would drain faster with music on but nothing like it is now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
Where is your music coming from? Is your data connection 3G or 4G?

If you are streaming music (Pandora, Spotify, etc.) on 3G/4G, especially if you are driving, your phone will become warm and it will drain your battery. 3G is especially prone to this since it isn't very efficient for data transfer (meaning the phone has to work harder to send/receive data). Additionally, if your screen is on for most of the time you are streaming music, it will cause even more drain.

Different functions of the phone will drain the battery differently. The screen can drain the battery pretty fast, so if you are looking for good battery life, it should be off as much as possible. From my testing, 3G data transfer is pretty harsh on the battery, even more so if the signal is weak (1X can be even harder on the battery than 3G).

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] docnas:
First of all thanks for the quick reply.

That being said sorry i didnt clarify data is 3g (LTE is turned off as its not available in my area) but my music is stored on my sdcard. and im sitting in a chair in a doctors office so no movement and data is just on as i have my email being pushed to my phone .

As for the reason why im saying its the music playing thats causing the drain is that sitting in the same place doing the same things with my phone (ie reading a book) it doenst even drain a quarter as bad as when doing the same exact thing but just plugging in headphones and listining to music saved on the SDcard. so with the only diefference being that I feel i can justifiably point a finger at it as the culprit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nomad64:
Hmm...that is strange. I haven't listened to much music from my SD card, honestly. I agree that reading a book should train more battery than listening to music from the SD card (using headphones with the screen off). Maybe the decoding of the files themselves is causing a high amount of CPU use, hence the battery drain?

I would recommend downloading GSam Battery monitor as it will give better battery stats. This might help shed some light on the issue. Meanwhile, I will have to play around on my phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] docnas:
thanks for the recommendation i was looking for a program like thatg but didnt know any names. Please see what happens when you play music and tell me what your experience is so i can know if its just me or is it a common occurence.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I keep my music on my card as well. I don't find terrible drain unless I'm boosting the sound for any reason. It will drain slightly faster than just doing normal activities but not super severe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] docnas:
what do you mean by " boosting your sound" ? do you mean the equalizer?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pearsonpsh:
Idk I haven't had this probable with my GSIII.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cogombro:
same problem in my HD desire

Hi docnas,

I'm searching for this problem time ago in HTC HD desire forums but I'm not finding anything. I know this post is a little bit old but, did you find out how to fix this problem? Today, listening to music from my SD card + whatsapp the battery drains 30% in 10 minutes.

thanks guys!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Arjun Haritsa:
Hello every one,

Few days back I got my phone's display broken and I went HTC to repair my screen. Unfortunately (in India) they don't have att hox display and they said sorry with the inconvenience (and they said its not possible even to import the display too). Now i'm end with my broken HOX,but i don't want really to be end like this (As i haven't found any OEMs on eBay too) :(

They replaced International One x's display to my at&T HOX just for testing (of course,it was lil small),well it was working fine!,So my question is,

Is it possible to change complete housing of my at&t HOX to International HOX and the display too? whether the camera and buttons adjust perfectly for that?

Thanks a million for the helping hand.

Guys, been searching for a while now but cant find a definite answer. I have my Galaxy Note for a year now, and planning to upgrade to Galaxy Note 2 this weekend.

Anyway, how can I transfer my files from the note to the new note 2? i have an ios and basically to do that in an ios, you just have to backup the old iphone and sync the new iphone in. and its done. apps, contacts, videos, photos, etc is transferred to the new phone. is it possible in an android? specially on a samsung galaxy note to galaxy note 2? or what other ways? kies perhaps? will that work like an itunes? i totally have no idea, galaxy note was my first android so this is my first time transferring files to the new one. and i cant, have both phones with me at the same time, bec i'll be having the old galaxy note traded for the new galaxy note 2 plus some cash.

Thanks in advance!

I use titanium backup to save copies of apps and their data on my sdcard and also sync to Dropbox.

Restoring things on the new phone is a matter of installing titanium backup and Dropbox, copying the backup to the phone and restoring using TB.

Of course- you need to be rooted to use TB.

I believe you can also use ADB to backup and restore apps, but I've never done that.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slap88:
My Prime has just started doing this. Plug it in, usually it will vibrate to let you know you have plugged it in, sometimes it does this sometime it does not. The light on the power button does not come on and the lock screen does not say it is charging, however it is charging just very slowly. It takes about 8 hours for it to fully charge. I have tried this with chargers from two other primes so it is not my plug or USB cable. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] richardmlea:
Your cable is probably faulty.

The Transformer charges at 2 speeds, 5v trickle charge (standard usb voltage) and 15v fast charge. The Dock only charges at 15v. The 15v positive charge is supplied by an extra wire connected to to the shield of USB connector. This extra wire is a tiny bit too short so bears all the stress when you pull the cable from the usb charger, after a while the wire comes off and you loose 15v charging.

Buy another cable or If you have a soldering iron you can carefully disassemble the usb connector and re-solder the broken wire (its the yellow one and goes to the shield). I then used hot glue to insulate and protect the repaired connector (make sure you test its working before encapsulating it in hot glue, you don't want to have to pick hot glue off to locate a bad connection.

Before you do any of the make sure the USB port on the charger is not sloppy, if it is loose use a pin or similar to bend the four springs inside the USB socket (on the shielding, 2 at the top 2 at the bottom) so they make a better connection with the plug (remember to unplug the charger) :silly:

Good Luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
This sounds like either a hardware issue on your Prime (in which case you would RMA if not unlocked etc.) or a software issue which is typically fixable. To start: which version of Android are you running? Are you unlocked/rooted/on a custom Rom? And finally do you have a recovery method installed (TWRP or CWM)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] OIDDI:
Same problem: My tab not "see" charge but charge.

The cable is not faulty: i have buy another cablem and i have same problem.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slap88:
It is not unlocked/rooted, it is running Jellybean 4.1.1 no recovery installed. I have already tried factory reset with no luck
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] McJesus15:
Well then the first thing to do is install a custom recovery so you can recover from a brick :)

Second, do a fresh install of JB 4.1.1. You can do a custom rom or a stock one with any mods you want. I'd suggest against using the Asus update from the website as others who are unlocked have had issues with it bricking their Prime.

After installing JB again you're going to want to wipe cache and dalvik cache from within the custom recovery. You may also want to fix permissions because it's good to do when having issues. If you don't feel like installing JB again then you can just do the custom recovery part and wipe/fix permissions. I cannot ensure that this will fix the issue but it's a step towards finding out if this is a hardware issue or a software issue.
