[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
I had "Android System" eating my battery too. I'm stock/rooted. I had Cerberus installed briefly, uninstalled - about when my phone started being hot (bottom third) when sleeping in my pocket. Drove me nuts - sorry, but I simply cant tolerate an IDLE phone getting hot in my pocket! Anyway, I rebooted the phone, turned it off, pulled the battery, installed Better Battery Stats - eventually the phone stopped having massive drainage from "Android System" and now it's not hot anymore whether it's on browsing the web or idle.

I guess there are two points to my post 1) the way I could tell my problem was fixed was the phone stopped getting hot -and- 2) the problem hasn't come back for me after a simple fix of multiple-power cycles. I've seen mixed results with a fair number of people saying that rebooting their phone fixed there problem and about an equal number saying the problem either wasn't fixed by rebooting or it came back again later.

If it happened to me again I would open a Terminal and run the "top" command and just keep watching it until I figured out what was eating up my battery (CPU time).

EDIT: Oh - and to confuse things more I used Titanium Backup (pro) to freeze/un-install some of the T-mobile bloatware in addition to setting email to sync slightly less often...

I have my power back on and factory reset my phone. I see android system had already taken 30% of my battery after about an hour of use. There is close to nothing on my phone since it just got factory reset. I don't even know what to do anymore, I really don't want this "android system" sucking so much of my battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Id suggest flashing the full stock fw via Odin. Possibly something got corrupted during an update maybe.

I saw uou used Show cpu usage earlier. Don't worry bout the numbers, but watch for the processes that seem to stay at the top and let us know which they are.

You can get the fw from my thread here.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SGSIIIUser:
The cpu usage is very high I think it constantly stays at 1.2+ 2+ 4+. It can go as high as 9. I'll try flashing stock rom again and see how that goes later today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ok, but beneath those numbers you should see the list of processes. Theyll be constantly changing but you should be able to pick out which ones seem to stay at the top.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SGSIIIUser:
The only thing below the cpu usage is the system_server. Android system is only hogging 11% of my battery today. I don't know why was it at 30% yesterday but it seems normal now.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sajislamus:
Hi. I was running Jelly Bean AOKP Rom build 4 on my Xperia Neo V, KXP kernel and yesterday I thought of upgrading the ROM to Build 5. But after flashing the KXP kernel in the AOKP JB Build 5 package my phone got bricked. Now it doesn't power on.There's a slight vibration when I push the power button but then nothing happens. I can't even connect it in Flashmode or Fastboot mode. I can't even go into recovery mode. The phone is completely dead. The phone is not detected by the PC. Please advice me what should I do now. Is there any way to bring it back to normal.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] da-pharoah:
So I don't have this phone.. but does the xperia have an Odin flash mode? Or is it only fastboot?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] littlezec:
Hi mate !

Your phone is not dead, I had the same problem with build5 kernel, and went back to build4 with my nandroid backup.

Take out the battery of the phone, put it again and then you should be able to enter fastboot mode.

Flash build4 kernel, is stable, and stick to build4 until build5 is fixed or another build comes out.

Hope it helps ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sajislamus:
How can I go into CWM recovery. The phone is not Switching on even after Reinserting the battery
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sajislamus:
succesfully managed to flash the build 4 kernel. The phone's been drained out and is charging now. Do I need to reinstall the ROm again or wont it be necessary.

and thnx 4 for promt reply
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] littlezec:
If you flashed build5 you should revert to build4
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] thiagobraga:
Dude, i have the some problem.

Please tell me how you got into the fastboot mode.

I took off the battery, put it again and then tried tu turn on the phone without the usb connected, it vibrated but nothing.

Also tried to turn on with the usb cable connected, same thing.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
U have to unlock Bootloader to get fastboot mode...either official way or unofficial way...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mk38:
As soon as you took out your battery, you need to enter into fastboot mode.

I mean as soon as you have inserted your battery, press menu button and connect right away.

I also faced this prob for my neo too. You can also flash .ftf to your phone as soon as you have inserted your battery.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] eclpsues:
Same issue happened to my Xperia go. Cant enter CWM, fastboot, flash mode, or even power on the device. Cant charge also (i think). When plugging the charger either from wall charger or USB to pc, it just stays in red led then dies out again.

Take note: I cant reset, hard reset, or even power on the device.

What happened is that I flashed the wrong kernel on CWM. After the phone rebooted, it stayed on black screen. Cant turn it off. Until i guess the battery drained out. Now the above situation is happening.

Please help! Is it a choice to open up the phone and reconnect the embedded battery?

I prefer not to do so, if there is an option to fix it. The phone can't charge. Is there a way to force charge the phone without a working kernel?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
What's your issue??

Remove the battery and go in flashmode !

Flash stock fw ftf file via flashtool!

Voila,you have your phone back alive!

Im thinking of following ur suggestion, however is it OK to open up my XGO coz the battery is embedded.

If it is, a simple guide is appreciated? Last question, without the battery on, and usb plugged in, can I try to enter fastboo or flash mode? Without the battery on?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] megatpanji:
what phone you have?xperia Go or Xperia Neo...

Btw...this section only for Xperia Neo...

---------- Post added at 12:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

Oh...So your phone is xperia Go...

What kernel you have flash?I hope you didnt flash kernel for xperia Neo...if you do that,it might hard brick your phone....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] eclpsues:
Sorry for posting on this X-Neo section, but this is the only section that came near to my problem. I posted in XGO section and awaiting answers.

This is the first I got. Oh sorry, its not a kernel. I was updating CWM 5 to CWM touch 6 version. Did this in recovery. A flashable version of cwm.

I entered recovery, install from SD, the install completed, Then what I mentioned in my previous post happened. Not booting up. No vibration, no hard reset, no fastboot, no flashmode. Just the red led when plugged in to PC or wall socket.

I hope you can help me sort this one out

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcernvall:
As announced, JB 4.2 will support miracast which allows display mirroring through wifi-direct. I don´t understand whether this feature require certain hardware, and my question is wheter this will work on my 16 GB Nexus 7 when it is updated to 4.2? Anyone know?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
Tegra 3 supports it and it uses wifi direct so I'm confident it will be supported.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustMatt:
I hope that's true. All the hardware indicates it is able to support it, but not necessarily that it will actually be made available. The Nexus 10 doesn't have the option for Miracast, despite having WiFi direct/Android 4.2.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
I don't get what all the worry about will it support it. The only hardware thing necessary is does the device have hardware encoding, and this does. Yes the N7 has wifi direct but ANY device could be upgraded to support wifi direct. It's not like wifi direct is some additional hardware on a wifi chip. Any wifi could technically support wifi direct.

So I would be really surprised if this doesn't support miracast. From what I've read the hardware encoder has a big influence on latency (as does the cpu). So one question that I would like answered is, how low is the latency? Movies/browsing etc doesn't really matter, but for gaming.

Has any article mentioned how low the latency is with miracast? This will vary from device to device of course, but even knowing for one device might give a ballpark of what to expect with the n7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:
I can't believe miracast is not supported by the N10! Mind boggling...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
yes I just read that. Does it not have hardware encoding? The nexus 4 definitely has miracast enabled but not the nexus 10?!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Where is written that N10 doesn't support Miracast? I watched android developers hangout on YouTube a few days ago and if I remember correctly then they told both N4 and N10 support it. When someone asked about N7 they first told no, but then said they don't know for sure. Unfortunately YouTube is down, so I can't double check that at the moment.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
Here:

'

'http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-10-review/

It's not like the nexus 10 ships with 4.1.2. It comes with 4.2 but yet miracast is disabled?! But he's wrong about pointing out wifi as the potential hardware limitation. Everything has wifi (and could potentially support wifi direct as that is done in software) the hardware barrier is hardware encoding. Does anyone know the details of the chipset the nexus 10 has?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
Interesting... Cnet review says it is supported, but they didn't have a dongle to test it.

I believe even the Verge/Google video said it is supported, but again, I can't check that either at the moment. Why is YouTube down when you need it the most?

Does anyone know if Miracast supports audio only? I know that it supports audio and video, but what happens if I want to connect it to my AV receiver and use it for audio only?

Edit: YouTube works again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z92fwFQntG8 at 56:30 they say that both devices have HDMI and Miracast.

I think the software in review devices wasn't final. Some N10 review devices didn't have user accounts either, but the final software clearly will have that, so I believe its the same case with Miracast.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:

Turn off your display and you have audio only ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
That's what I want to do, but is it possible? Does the Netgear ptv3000 work if it's not connected to TV?

It is possible that it doesn't allow connections from android device if its not connected to TV. For example Nexus Q doesn't allow streaming YouTube to it if its not connected to TV.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:
I'm thinking it should bypass through the a/v receiver but I am simply speculating... it's going to be one of those things we will have to test with or a/v systems
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
I would buy and test it but I can't I can't find this product in any shop in Europe. And US shops that have it in stock don't ship to Europe.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WalkSoftly:
I'm in the u.s. and I will buy it once the 4.2 update and miracast are official for the N7. Then, I will report back with my findings on how the netgear miracast box interacts with my a/v receiver.

I'm so pumped for this feature!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
I never thought about audio only. One thing I hope is possible is to turn off the n7's screen but still stream. It's one thing if you are interacting with it, but say you are streaming a movie, why have the n7's screen on for 2 hrs? Or even a game where you are using a gamepad and you aren't touching the device at all.

I've wondered if that functionality is in the spec, but I doubt. The other thing I wonder about is how low the latency is for gaming.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poisike:
I found a US store that has it in stock and ships internationally. Only bad news is that shipping costs more then the device :| I'm not sure I want to pay that much for it.

About games, I have no idea if the screen can be off when streaming, but I hope so. One interesting thing that was discussed in Google developers hangout was a api that let's app developers use the two screens (tablet and connected display) as separate displays. For example the game runs on TV while your android device has buttons or whatever else on display.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spvnexus:
Hi guys,

Anyone know if the n4 has mhl support like its predecessor?

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
It does.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Actually, it doesn't. It uses a different technology called SlimPort HDMI which is very similar but doesn't require having your phone connected to a power source like MHL does.

It also supports Miracast which is a wireless solution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spvnexus:
Great, thanks. Was always disappointed that my nexus 7 didn't have any way to connect to HDMI. Well my desire s is on its way out the door on the 13th.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curaxa:
So does this mean that it will use the same adapter, or will there be a different one that is required to get HDMI out?

Miracast does look cool, but isn't that useful until more devices include it in or I buy a receiver for it (which I will).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yumcax:
I'm interested in this as well, SlimPort looks nice, except the price ($30) is way higher than MHL adapters. Are we sure that it won't work with MHL?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
I just got my GSIII and even though I have spot metering on, the phone still doesn't base the ISO on the spot I touch in the frame. It basically functions as center metering. I'm considering flashing an AOSP ROM because I'm not thrilled with TW at all. The menus aren't graphically appealing to me, that's all. Can anyone with the AOSP camera that uses this feature get back to me? I know it's not a DSLR but even the Sense camera on my older HTC phones allowed me to choose what to base the lighting of the photo on.

Consequently, as a side question, is EVERY AOSP built on CM? Are there none that are based off pure Vanilla Android without anyone else's input or modifications? Maybe a straight port of the newest Nexus?

Thanks all!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
slim is built from source, but does have a few cherry picks from the cm and aokp gits
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
I thought SuperNexus might be Vanilla. Anyway, I'm more concerned about the cameras. Anyone know about the ISO issue and whether it works on AOSP?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinpanalley:
Just going to try to bump this once to see if anyone can help. I can't believe nobody else has used this feature in the past. I just want light metering to be based on where I touch in the frame before taking a photo. Maybe I'm using spot metering wrong?

Can someone please help?

I guess the boot.img in the build FXP148-cm-10-20121124-UNOFFICIAL-anzu was not proper.

I have downloaded the FXP146a-cm-10-20121111-UNOFFICIAL-nozomi build and flashed the boot.img it worked perfectly.
