[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 05GT:
If you want a fast charge, find yourself a Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD charger.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
So these chargers will charge faster and not harm our note2 battery?

Any perticular voltage or watts to look for on these chargers?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvenes:
No that's just wrong!

Phone off, leave the battery atleat 50% charged.

Do not completely discharge the battery if you can charge before it's 0%

It was true for NIMH batteries, but it's a long time since we had those kinds of battery, and ofcourse NiCd batteries.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliguu:
yep, what rvenes mention should be the go = no need to discharge (drain battery to 0 and full charge).

simply charge as often as possible, not letting it fall below 50%.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvenes:
HTC charger should work fine.

You can charge with the computer too, usb, but it takes longer time.

So the other day I was upgrading a ROM on my T989 and for some reason the rom must have been for a different carrier b/c my entire phone HARD bricked. I tried JIG and everything possible, but had no luck.

I called samsung and they said it was under warranty still so I sent it in. I had a simple question about one of the notes they posted on the update......

"HAVE DIFFERENT COLOR SPEAKER COVER"

What is this relevant too? And more importantly what does it mean?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ssmr2t:
Their just covering themselves in the event that you make a claim later on... is your speaker cover different when compared to stock?

Hi there,

So I've been looking into flashing custom kernels, and I can't seem to find an answer to this question. Basically, I'm wondering if the kernel remains after installing a new nightly, or do I have to reflash the kernel every time the ROM updates?

Thanks

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ozonethegreat:
Ever since I've upgraded to using JB ROMS, I too, just like everyone, have to the low volume problem. But seeing that I've always found most Android ROMS on any device to be too low to my liking, I've always done the following as a workaround:

PowerAmp for Music playback. PowerAmp has the best EQ on the market and since the app itself directly controls the volume of music playback, you can set your EQ to whatever you like and raise the DB to it's max. On JB, you HAVE to raise it to it's max period.

Music Volume EQ. This app, although wonky at times, is the best secondary EQ app out for raising total volume without having to disable PowerAmp EQ (like Volume+). When applied on top of PowerAmp on JB, you'll have your loud volumes, but it requires setting it's EQ settings very high. This app will also work for Video playback as well.

This was the only combination of things I've tried to raise the volume on JB ROMS. Try it out yourself and let me know what you think.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FizzleDiz:
Poweramp ftw. My favorite player, lots of themes, good eq, and lots of options. It definitely did help with the jb issue, but still not like it should be. We shouldn't have to find a workaround, but nonetheless, thanks.

I fully endorse Poweramp. One of the best paid apps I've bought. It's just so user friendly in every aspect, from making playlists to EQ settings.

I installed soundboost yesterday and used it to listen to podcasts on the way to work. I had to toggle it to notice the difference, but it was just enough to make listening comfortable.

install with root

i have HC now, and to install TWRP, i must root and SU.

in order to root, I have to install CWM 6.0.1 then root then install TWRP.

Can't i just root directly and then install TWRP from goo manager?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melorib:
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store

2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions

3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery

[Galaxy S III Accessories] UrbanDesigns:
Hey guys, my phone has the tv catch up app which displays all my TV shows in HD but on my TV it's not in HD and I'm using an ariel because I don't have satellite in my room. My question is if I got my phone hooked up to the TV with a micro usb to hdmi will it display full 1080p on my TV? and can somebody tell me exactly what I'll need cause I'm not 100% sure, I know you need a mhl adapter or something and that's about it
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 0mega007:
1080i Only, and 1080P movies dont look as good as my media box, they look more pixelated and a bit of frameskipping or slowdown (not that noticeable but bothers the viewing a bit).

Maybe would be different if the device output was 1080P (My TV and monitor are 1080P and on both is 1080i i can get)

But for games and 720P (or less) movies the speed is perfect
[HTC Wildfire S] thetroglo:
Hi,

I'm having some issues with installing gapps on the latest CM10. I tried flashing directly after the ROM without rebooting and also with a reboot. Either way its not working. First method creates many bugs also. For example the lockscreen is simply gone. When I turn on the display its going straight to the homescreen. What am I doing wrong? CM9 works perfectly fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] Pr3no:
Which CM10 do you use? I used the one by benjamingwynn (the latest, 10/22 build) with this gapps: http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/gapps/gapps-cfx-jb-20120815-stripped.zip

And I successfully installed it, the Play was there and had no problem with the lockscreen. And I flashed it after I had my first boot.

But if it's still not working, then try this gapps, it's the newest:

http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
[HTC Wildfire S] thetroglo:
Thanks, but I think I already tried this one. Downloading anyway. Hopefully it works.

Nothing is working at all.

Tried flashing either way, tried to install playstore apk, it doesn't work,

then i tried to move it to system/app, The disk isnt read/writable (wondering how to do it, there's no option in the file managers)

I'm stuck without gapps :| help please. :(

Having the exact same problem :/
[HTC Wildfire S] litemaster:
What worked for me (Speed Droid JB v1.1)

The problem is that with CM10, the WFS' /system partition is already pretty full and can't fit even the 'stripped' gapps. Mine had like 7MB left.

Here's how I it installed on my CM10 based Speed Droid JB V1.1 for WFS:

- Install ROM as usual, with INT2EXT+ or whatever you like

- Reboot

- Connect Phone to USB

- Open console on computer for ADB

> adb shell
> mount | grep /system
/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system yaffs2 rw,relatime 0 0
(yay, it's mounted read-write)
> df /system
(Free number is MB you have available)
> cd /system/media/audio/notifications
(deleted all .ogg files that were larger than 100KB)
> cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
(deleted all .ogg files that were larger than 100KB)
> cd /system/media
(deleted bootanimation.zip, it was more than 3MB.. you can replace it with your own later)
> df /system
(enough free space now?)

After that, I had about 15MB free on /system, so I could install the 'super-stripped' gapps from http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/gapps (http://goo.im/devs/tilal6991/gapps/gapps-cfx-jb-20120815-super-stripped.zip) in recovery.

Other tips involve installing TitaniumBackup APK from SDCARD and deleting unwanted stuff.

Hope that helps.

Does anyone know if there's a way to use a USB Host control with CM10 A1 (JB)? I have a USB keyboard that worked pretty well with my CM7.2 Nook, and I'd like to be able to use it again.
[HTC Desire S] karolmd:
Hi guys, I have a strange problem, may say I'm quite desperate about it, because I've been seeking for a solution, however with no result :/

I have HTC Wildfire S, it's about 13 months old, rooted 5 months ago. I did not install any custom roms or anything like that (it's still original 2.3.5). I rooted the phone only in order to get Link2SD.

Everything went smooth, I have been using my rooted WFS for about 4 months, however one day I fully charged it and disconnected about 10pm. Since then the phone was just lying on the table, 3G running (as always). GPS, bluetooth off, no new apps installed or anything to make battery life shorter. At 7am next day the battery was completely drained, so that the phone didn't even want to turn on.

Since then, everytime I turn the internet on, the battery drains like 5% every 4-7 minutes... When I additionally use Facebook or browse the Internet, it is up to 30% every 5 minutes:/

I bought a new battery, but it unfortunately didn't solve the issue, so I sent the phone back to the official service.

After one week i got it back, but they said that 'the issue didn't appear' (they've checked power consumption and battery).... That's obviously not true, because on the way back home from where I got the phone back (about 20 minutes ride) the battery level run down from 60% to about 35%....

I really have no idea what's going on, please help me, you're my last chance;p

Of course in the meantime I restored the factory settings, restored original rom, got rid of root etc., but with no result. Better battery stats showed that the difference between Awake and Screen on was normal, so the phone gets into deep sleep...

I may add that this battery drain percentage is not equal every time (sometimes it is 5% a minute, sometimes 15%). With the internet connection on the battery is being discharged in about 3-4 hours, however with it turned off it lasts normally (even up to 2-2,5 days).

Regards,

Karol
[HTC Desire S] finance.resat:
Battery life is like that. 3 n half hours is the average on most roms. 4.5 is highest I think.

Turn off all the settings u don't use/need to use. GPS, location service, pocket mode etc from sound, background data, from network always enabled mobile net, vibration on keyboard, UI so on.

It's not the topic like 'I just bought my first smartphone, I wonder why does it discharges faster than my nokia 3210". It is not my first smartphone, I know that 1-1,5 days is an absolute max for battery life, but in my case battery drain rastically arose during just a couple of hours...

With Internet on it always used to work for 1,5-2 days (with my use). My habits didn't change and now it lasts only 3-4 hours :/
[HTC Desire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
It's really nothing out of the ordinary, if you keep 3G on at all times, you're not going to get more than 6-7 hours of scree-on time.

What you should verify is if it's heats constantly, because that'd mean you've got an app/process constantly running.
[HTC Desire S] karolmd:
But for more than 8 months I've been using my phone exactly the same way and it was running at least the whole day with no effort... What should I check in Better Battery Stats? 3g was always turned on, however most of the time the phone was using EDGE/HSDPA, and so it is now.

Btw, Constant Connection (or how is it calldd in english) is turned off, as usual. Assuming that it really is the 3g issue, would turning 'gsm networks only' change something?

I will have to test this setting for a couple of days to see if it really helps...
[HTC Desire S] finance.resat:
Did u just put the phone on and that kind of battery drain happening? Then u need to change ROM.

If I put my phone on. Without keeping screen on, but mobile network on, it will last at least 1 day 24 hours I think. I am talking about keeping screen on playing/browsing. Screen on and internet uses most battery.

I use the original ROM, 2.3.5. When the issue appeared I have reflashed stock again, but it did nothing. I even got rid of root access, still the same. My phone was always working with internet on, and it lasted at least 24 hours. Now it lasts up to 2 days with the internet OFF, with on, it's only up to 6 hours, and if I additionally make use of internet connection (browse the web, send an email etc.), my phone lasts only up to 3-3,5 hours :/

I bought a new battery but it changed nothing...
[HTC Desire S] scott_doyland:
Karolmd, a lot of people obviously didn't bother to read your original post and replied with rubbish answers.

I don't have an answer but at least I understand what you mean. Your battery life had changed drastically even though your usage is the same.

Does the problem occur when you move a few miles away from home, ie so you use a different mobile phone mast. Its possible your phone company has an issue in your area and the phone has to strain to keep a signal.

I've seen my phone struggle for a few days to get a 3g signal near my home when normally its fine and it was traced to a fault with the phone mast.

Does the issue happen if you switch off mobile internet and instead just use WiFi at home just to test this theory. This will show if something is perhaps connecting to the internet all the time or not. If battery is OK on WiFi I'd be inclined to place a call to the network operator. They can check the various masts in your area - it can take a while for them to acknowledge a problem though so you may need to keep pushing them.
[HTC Desire S] karolmd:
Unfortunately the problem occurs everywhere:/ 60km's from my home, as well as 500 (I've checked last week). When I switch to GSM only, it seems that the battery lasts longer, but it's still not what it used to be...
[HTC Desire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Did any of your apps auto-update just before you noticed the drain ?

2.GSam Battery monitor(This can tell u what really is consuming ur device battery)
[HTC Desire S] junxracr:
*#*#4636#*#* in dialer. Choose phone information and set to gsm only. That should help battery life. Try it out. If that helps click thanks :D

Remember when you reach full charged unplug. Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot.

Then turn off auto sync and auto brightness.
[HTC Desire S] karolmd:
I have already tried wiping battery stats, but will give a try to gsm only mode.

But I have an idea. I noticed that my battery lasts longer when, after reboot, I do not open facebook. I have to check it, hope uninstalling this will help.
[HTC Desire S] reghin78:
Pay more attention or...

You are either not reading her posts carefully enough or you're plain not-very-smart.

Recap:

1. phone is bought;

2. battery life is as long as can be expected with 3G permanently turned on, up to 48 hours;

3. all of a sudden, battery life drops to 4 hours (under the exact same conditions, same apps, same functions enabled as before);

4. she changes her battery;

5. the new battery is still drained at the same rate, 4 hours (under the exact same conditions)

And to add my experience to this query:

6. battery still drains at the same accelerated rate after a factory reset and no apps installed other than those that it starts off with;

7. even after an ulterior OS update.

8. final attempt: I've mounted my SIM onto a different and never before used phone that I've borrowed, left it on without 3G enabled (battery drained in 5 days) then recharged it and enabled 3G and started browsing android market (battery was visibly draining in a matter of minutes, I'd say that it would have drained completely in under 1 hour)

(mine is a Samsung Galaxy S running Gingerbread and the other was running Froyo)

Does anyone have a pertinent solution or at least explanation for this ?

Thanks,

Winston.
[HTC Desire S] SunnyChrono6:
Try doing a factory reset or something. More than 2 hours of 3G Internet with GPS on is a little too much to expect from this tiny phone :P But you say it was working fine for you before? So maybe your mobile network signal is persistently low or something.
[HTC Desire S] reghin78:
"6. battery still drains at the same accelerated rate after a factory reset"

That's what I said.

"Try doing a factory reset"

That's what you said.

That aside... so a low network signal drains the battery when 3G is enabled ?
[HTC Desire S] aidac:
it looks like this, especially if other device has the same problem with your sim so clearly it's not wfs's problem. looks like it's network mast problem like someone mentioned before. anyway you can try this method (it won't hurt):

1. charge your phone fully

2. disconnect and turn it off

3. leave phone shut off and connect charger, wait till led turns green

4. turn it on, charge fully again

5. repeat step 3 and then 4 once again.

this helped me as I was getting heavy battery drain
[HTC Desire S] metz1996:
If you surf the internet or play games it´s normally
[HTC Desire S] SunnyChrono6:
I was talking to OP actually.....

Yeah, it does. I was doing a battery test, first 16 hours battery drain was 20% with an hour of music and gaming separately, and a bit of browsing on Wi-Fi with full 3G signal. I took my phone to school where you have one bar of 3g alternating to 2 bars of 2g, battery dropped 15% even though I didn't even touch the phone in 8 hours. It was @ 480 Mhz at that time and Mobile Internet wasn't even turned on, and neither was Wi-Fi.
