I didn't flash the wifi modules (stock ones were previously installed). Wifi was working just not 3g.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bluefoam:
Although I had never used it, I noticed that WiFi direct was removed from the Transformer with the upgrade to Jellybean... now 4.2 includes the new Miracast standard. I'm wondering if the Prime will be able to use this new standard or whether at some stage we might even get 4.2?

I only ask, as I am interested in getting a set top box to stream movies off the tablet, and this seems ideal,because apparently you can browse and stream at the same time... plus its supposed to do screen mirroring, which would be great for business use...

Are you s-off?

Are you using the 3.32 or 3.33 firmware? (CM9 won't run on earlier firmware)
[HTC Sensation] rara200788:
yes i am on s-off and no i wasnt on any of those firmwares. dangit ok so now that this has been identified how can i revert back?
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
if you have a backup ..then go to recovery manually ...from bootloader then restore your backup

or

you can flash any gingerbread rom or cm7 and you will boot up fine ..again you need to go to recovery manually

or

in this current situation ..you can just flash 3.32/3.33 firmware and bootup fine

for flashing firmware refer this thread
[Nokia Lumia 920] stead:
When someone here gets one of these could they please let us know what the battery life is like?

I know nokia says 400 hours standby but standby figures are kinda plucked out of the air since smart phones, i'm sure mine has 200h plus but realistically 2g, everthing turned off I can get around 4 days use of it when only using it for calls/txts. I nreal world upto 2 days, 1 day if I use it a lot.

I know its not real world use, but sometimes when i'm away in area's with no access to a charger I like to know I can last a couple of days without it dieing on me!
[Nokia Lumia 920] falconyx:
Cnet claims that it drops to 25% after just 4 hours of heavy usage. If this is true I would never buy it and it would be a real shame. Lumia 800 had same issues many months after launch and even after numerous software updates it is still not up there.Working at Nokia so I've seen my fair share of lumia failure...Really hope the 920 delivers. :confused:
[Nokia Lumia 920] stead:
Was that test with 4g on? i'm assuming with 4g it constantly searches for the network. If simply turning 4g off gives a nice boost to battery i'll be happy with that, personally i'm fine 90% of the time with 2g speeds.

My current phone gets just under 2 hours use in navigon at full charge. I know generally you have a car charger in car, but its the only way generally I use to measure how long the battery lasts.

I remember my first smart phone would power tomtom for around 5 hours on one charge, sure the screen was smaller and the processor was slower, but it was still perfectly usable. I suppose 320x240 would feel very wierd now tho...
[Nokia Lumia 920] Montastic:
Is this really that bad? Because this would mean you'll get about 8 hours with half the battery on heavy usage (assuming linear discharging). I'd think that is pretty good.

I currently own Samsung Focus (1st Gen) and I get about 26 hrs or so on moderate to low usage.
[Nokia Lumia 920] crawlgsx:
Unless they mean 4 hours straight gaming or watching a movie that is a lie.

I've had my phone for 6 hours using it pretty much none stop. Downloading lots, taking pictures/video, trying maps/gps, wifi on but not connected, no LTE but "4g", placed a few calls, dozens of text, full settings/setup, etc etc. This was from the phone coming out of the box at ~50% charged and I am at 19%.

Just got it so I will report back in a few days and see how it goes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] paulthomas881:
I've had mine for a week now and I have to say Im a heavy user - maybe because of that Im not too happy with the battery. I have to charge it after 7 or 8 hours but I do have bluetooth on, wifi on, 3g on, push email, facebook updates etc on all the time. As an Ipad owner I thought it might be on a par with that for battery life but it isnt....
[Nokia Lumia 920] crawlgsx:
I use my phones enough that I am use to charging them every day. I have yet to have a smart phone that would last me 2 days. This phone so far fits right in there, no worse no better. Haven't had it long enough to be a final decision though.

Yesterday I had it unplugged from 7am to 11:30pm and it was at 29%. This was with wifi off, BT off. Lots of usage, played a bunch of Angry Birds:SW, lots of texts/app downloads/heavy camera usage/etc...

In the end unless it makes it to the next morning at above ~55% it really doesn't matter, I'm going to have to charge it. All that matters to me is that i can make it through a day and so far this phone seems like it will be able to do that no problem. If you spent a heavy day of gaming and movies I suspect you would find yourself needing to charge again but that is inline with every other smartphone on the market unfortunately.
[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
I've had the phone 72 hrs now. I previously had the 900, Focus S. I run my phone with bt, and WiFi on. I do not turn off lte or 4g. If the phone charge lasts from 6am till 330, then its good for me.

As with many new phones battery life in the first few weeks is not really accurate. Currently my 920 exhibits the same traits the 900 did.

I do light music and games, heavy internet and social contact, medium texting, but virtually no phone calls. As of now, this puts me in the 40-50% range. I expect it will get better as I stop experimenting with themes, lock screens and tile arrangements.
[Nokia Lumia 920] emckai:
I've been able to use the Lumia 920 for one full day now and this is my battery information:

The information i'm about to put out is with; text messaging, internet, couple of phone calls, 15 minute gameplay, more surfing the internet

The battery information can be found ' Settings -> Battery Saver -> Battery Info '

Battery info:

Remaining battery life: 47%

Estimated time remaining: 3 days 3 hours (obviously meaning standby time)

Time since last charge: 20 hours

I took the phone off the charger at around 10pm last night and haven't used the charger since then.
[Nokia Lumia 920] pvn70:
My battery drains real fast. I think its down to 2 reasons: 1.data connection speed is set to 4G. 2.Loads of background apps running.

I dont have 4G in my area so the phone is swithing to 3G sometimes even poor 3G signal which makes it go to 2G. so if its constantly switching network signals that will drain battery fast. my Lumia has no option to keep it only on 2G, but i can change to 3G or 4G. If i could change it to 2G i guess the battery would last all day with no problems.

turning off background apps can also help reduce battery consumption.

btw i have a Lumia 920 bought from Phones4u using a TMobileUK sim
[Nokia Lumia 920] smcb:
Ive had the 920 from the MS Build conference for a few weeks now.

1. I turned off NFC (tap to send). No need for it.

2. I turned off Bluetooth, unless I actually need it.

3. I ride the train for an hour to work, and an hour home, and use the internet sharing pretty much the whole way with my Surface.

4. I have it set to pull email from 3 different accounts, with it set to get items as they arrive, and I get a lot of email throughout the day.

5. The area I live in is all LTE.

6. I leave wifi turned on all the time, as I have it at home and at work.

7. I make a few calls during the day each day, but maybe only 20 or 30 total minutes at most.

I've found the battery life after a few weeks now to be excellent. Even after an hour of internet sharing on the train, it has only used 7% of the battery. Battery life seemed shorter during the first week or two, so i'm guessing everyone else will have similar results as the batteries get conditioned. I haven't had a problem with it running out of power before the end of the day. Early on it did, but it has gotten much better,
[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
After a week, today :), this is what I see also. My phone comes off the charger when full, last night it was 11:15pm. The charge sits at 85% with 40 hrs estimated time remaining.

I have BT, WiFi, Tap to Send on. I have gone into background tasks and blocked anything I don't want running. I have noticed that Nokia Drive+BETA, when on, really drains the battery, as does streaming from XBOX Music Cloud. So Nokia drive is blocked in background tasks and I do have Cloud Music turned off.

I drained the battery to under 10% last night....I'll try to push it tonight to get further.

But overall, I'm happy with the battery. I know I have some wiggle room with turning off BT and Tap to Send if I want.

Another day, another test.
[Nokia Lumia 920] stead:
I hope they allow that in a future update, when I know im going to be away from a charger for a while I always switch mine to 2g to get that extra bit of juice :(

I did cave and order a 920, t-mobile offered a silly retention deal, was going to get the 820 but for the price i thought why not!
[Nokia Lumia 920] crawlgsx:
Have had mine for almost 8 days now, same here. My battery life is excellent. I keep wifi/bt off unless in use. No LTE here.

I played Drag Race for a good 2 hours yesterday on top of texting a bunch, few pictures, normal browsing/FB/etc...

When I "plugged in" to go to bed I was still over 50%. (5:30am to 11pm)

Hello everyone,

First, applogies if this is in a wrong section.

I want a cheap(est) android phone for tethering on "three uk" network.

Must have dl speeds atleast upto 14mbps and have to work on 2100mhz frequency range,

Any brand (or no brand) will do,

Also must be able to teher via usb and wifi,

As far as I know, there are a couple of methods both of which require your device to be rooted.

You can root using THIS method, remove the service menu ( that image on your screen) and then unroot using that same method.

It wont void your warranty, if thats whats worrying you.

It's missing a file. You need root to create the file which is missing. Either that, or flash back to Gingerbread.

If you are upgrading to Jelly Bean and have Google Wallet installed, you should upgrade Google Wallet to the latest modified version first before applying the modified OTA. Immediately after applying the modified VRBLK3 OTA, apply the SGS3 Jelly Bean NFC libraries for Google Wallet. The US variant libraries are mirrored here, see the original thread for other variants.

These updates are for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3’s that have been rooted, custom recovery flashed, bootloader unlocked, and have Google Wallet and the associated NFC libraries installed. If you did all those things to your S3 and want to apply the stock OTA updates, this is for you.

Restore your stock build.prop if you have modified it to activate Google Wallet. Make sure you are running the latest version of your custom recovery software and apply the modified update for your software version. The recommended recovery to use is ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2 (or greater) which can be installed using ROM Manager.

To create the modified updates, I took a stock Verizon SGS3 running IMM76D.I535VRALF2, rooted it, flashed a custom recovery, unlocked the bootloader and installed Google Wallet using known methods. Then, I downloaded each OTA update in turn and unpacked it, edited the updater-script to remove references to aboot, recovery and the stock NFC libraries and added a line to correct the permissions for the superuser binary, then repacked the update and applied it. This successfully updated the device without affecting the aboot or recovery partitions or failing due to NFC library checks and maintained root access.

Only the updater-scripts have been modified. The original OTA updates are provided for comparison.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
Got it, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
This only works on Verizon SGS3 with stock ROM. Revert your build.prop back to stock if it is still modified from when you activated Google Wallet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Seanzle:
I dont have google wallet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
What update are you trying to apply? What are you currently running (ROM, recovery)? You may need to update your recovery. See the last FAQ question on this post:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ouray770:
OTA still asking me to install update

I successfully installed the rooted unsigned-d2vzw-IMM76D.I535VRALG7-from-IMM76D.I535VRALF2-ota-goo.gl-4G5Fs-v1.zip. However, my phone is still bugging me to install an "Important Update" I have been deferring it because I am worried that if I let it go, it will remove my root and prevent me from using Google Wallet.

Is it safe to allow the phone to install the update and I can re-apply root and Google wallet later?

If not, where did the update's files download to, so that I can delete them manually?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] solidage:
I have tried stock and CWD recovery on my GS3 and still getting failed update. Any ideas?

Besides being rooted for Google Wallet I haven't done anything else to the phone.

when using the stock root it comes up with "e:signature verification failed" on both files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
It is safe to allow the install. The update won't do anything because the updater binary will check the signature on your NFC libraries and prevent it from happening. After the update fails, SDM (Samsung's updater app) will behave as if the update completed successfully. Recommend you freeze SDM using Titanium Backup after letting the update fail.

(edit) You won't need to reroot or reinstall Google Wallet. Just wanted to make that clear. Also, since you're talking about applying the VRALG7 update, SDM will prompt you to install the next OTA update VRALHE (which will also fail) so after applying the modified VRALG7 update you should install the modified VRALHE OTA update and then let SDM try to install the official VRALHE OTA update. Then SDM will act normal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
What do you mean by both files? What is the current software version on your phone?

Any modifications to your phone from stock may cause the updates to fail. I have only disabled a few signature checks related to Google Wallet (NFC libraries) and nothing else. If there are *any* other files on your system partition that are not stock, that may cause the signature verification to fail.

If you can include any other logging info, that would be helpful.

(edit) You *must* use a custom recovery to flash the modified OTA. Try using the latest version ClockworkMod recovery, install it using EZ Recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
Recommend you reflash the latest modified Google Wallet. There may be some mixed NFC libraries on your device (some Verizon, some Sprint). Let us know if that solves it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cj64:
You cannot apply the 2nd update until you have successfully applied the 1st update. That is why the file ending QXM.zip, which I assume is unsigned-d2vzw-IMM76D.I535VRALHE-from-IMM76D.I535VRALG7-ota-goo.gl-4G5Fs-v1.zip, fails. You aren't running VRALG7, yet. You are still on VRALF2.

Please try installing ROM Manager from the Google Play store and flashing the latest ClockworkMod Recovery (6.0.1.2) from there. Use that to apply the updates. I tested applying the modified OTA updates using that version of ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] solidage:
just purchased and installed ROM Manager (required a $2 purchase to flash to the 6.0.1.2 recovery) will report back.

as a side note today I noticed my email application is totally missing (the stock one) The only thing I've done in the last 2 days is attempt to install this update. Any ideas how I can get that .apk back?

---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

Not sold out on launch day, they had no stock to sell. Piss poor planning by Samsung. How does a company the size of Samsung launch a product with zero stock? They brought in Psy with major craze to a launch party tonight and all the people there that decide to go to a store to get one the following won't be able to even though Samsung has claimed a "launch"

Laughable marketing and logistics.
