I have the one with the NFC built in and I have had no issues with it. I am typically a pretty have yet and I can go about 12 hours and be sheen anywhere between 30 to 25% before I charge it for the night. Now mind you that's with the screen on 100% brightness and no less than 3 hours of screen time being on....

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murtuzasb:
What ROM are you using? Did you do anything just before this happened?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeanjean8501:
The best thing to do is to wipe cache/data bebore re-flashing your rom and it will be fine.

I've done this every time my phone stuck on splash screen.

BTW think about making an NANDROID when your rom is fully and correctly installed, it will avoid some problem in the future ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelumiv:
I collected it from a friend stuck to splash screen. I can actually say what happened before it got stuck but my guesses are:

1. It was on stock ROM before it got stuck.

2. It has no recovery on it.

Kindly help me out on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinjoynson:
I know seems stupid, but if it sounds unrooted. Try soft reset battery out leave a bit, battery back in switch on reboot. Any luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcclue:
Try get recovery using the

PB99IMG 4ext recovery in my sig.

Put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard then boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and bootloader should find the zip and ask to update recovery? Volume up for yes. Then it will ask to reboot? Volume down for no. Then select recovery using volume buttons to navigate and power to select. Once in recovery, format all partitions except sdcard, wipe dalvik. Then u can restore a nandroid backup or just flash a new rom. If u need to flash a new rom then just make sure to partition ur sdcard to what ever the rom OP requires.

Where can I get those themes? I can only use mobile to search xda and I can't find anything.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
A new Nexus S user here...

I'm coming from the HTC Liberty (Aria), which I could expect to get two full days worth of moderate use from.

I have 3 email accounts - one exchange account that syncs every 15 minutes in peak times, 2 hours in off-peak, and two personal accounts that sync every hour. A weather widget, Google Reader widget and that's about it. Battery stats tell me I usually have an hour and a half of screen on time a day, with maybe 45 minutes of browsing. I'm lucky to make a phone call a day, and maybe a dozen text messages.

I bought an HTC Raider, kept it for a week, and found I had similar battery life... but the headphone jack suffers from a hardware issue on that model, so I sold it back and tried a Galaxy S2 LTE. I was lucky to get 7-8 hours of life on that phone, and after fiddling with 100 options, I sold it back and have now ordered a used Nexus S.

With my usage above, and any necessary kernel/radio tweaks... what can I honestly expect for battery life? I ask because it's really a deal-breaker for me... if the Nexus S can't give me at least a full day's worth of juice with that usage, I'll wait to see reports on the Nexus 4 and go there instead... but I'd prefer to keep the difference in money.

DON'T SUGGEST ANOTHER PHONE, PLEASE.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
With suggested use, you should be able to go through a day. But don't forget to charge at night. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
I usually charge at night now, and often have a chance to charge for an hour or so at work. But I still would like at least 16-20 hours of usage guaranteed. I'll be happy to buy an extended battery if that helps too, but not if it increases the phone's size!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
There's no extended battery that won't make the size bulkier.

On "decent" usage, meaning you're not playing 3D games, you can expect around 3.5-4 hours of screen on time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
I've seen a couple of 1850m batteries on eBay that are stock size?

Also - I do no 3D gaming - occasionally I get sucked into Draw Something, but that's it.

With the GS2 - I was getting 7 hours of idling time - screen off, no apps running, etc.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
They're bull$hit.

That's terrible idle time. If I don't touch my phone and text very little with no 3G (my 3G plan is just too expensive) but wifi on, I can get well into the 1 day and a half of idling without any problem.

It's mostly the screen that takes the most power on the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexism:
I have found my battery to be much better while using an auto brightness app like Juice Defender or even better LUX and keeping my LCD as low as possible (usually -50 while inside)

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alen1901:
If you are buying extended battery, make sure it has REAL mah like nexus s battery. Some battery are deacripted like 2000mah and are fat, but they have 1300mah.

You can get 3-4 hours of screen on time with moderate use, it will last about 9hours from charger. You should be ok. If you have gingerbread you will get even more uptime.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
Well, I'll want to get on at least ICS - no sense upgrading if I'm going to stay on an old version of the OS in my mind. I think if I could find a genuine 1850mah battery that would be enough. If I can my whole work day (usually 9-10 hours) and come home with 40%, I'll be happy enough. It sounds like that's very possible with this phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You won't be able to find a longer lasting battery unless you're willing to have a thicker phone. What you can do however is have a spare battery and a charger that charges both your phone and that battery at once. ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gfinockio:
I'm actually thinking that's not a bad idea either. I also have a solar battery that right now gives about 4-5 hours of extra juice to my Liberty... so I'll bring that with me on outdoor trips at least!

[HTC One X] varzmaster:
Hi guys,

Some time ago, my HOX (everything stock) decided to loop boot and entering by itself in the bootloader menu. I tried to fiddle around with the options but the phone kept loop booting/freeze@logo/enter bootloader. I left it discharge for some time (about 2 months I think). Now it won't power on (no LED, black screen). Connected to the PC, it shows up as 'APX' in device manager.

What are the steps to getting it working again?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] bazs2000:
Take a couple of deep breaths and follow the RUU-instructions you can find in several topics here. The empty battery shouldn't be a problem. After one of my misflashes (yep, test some and screw it up sometimes :D ) i leave my phone bootlooping when charging. Leave it so for a night and de the battery will be charged enough to pull you trough the RUU-process. :)
[HTC One X] istampal:
Htc one x apx

Probably you will wait until somebody find or some info leak about Tegra3 NVFLASH for HTC ONE X. I have two HTC ONE X one is in APX mode

i replaced motherboard from this good one to bad and it was working, but that is expensive solution.

Up to now it is not possible to NVFLASH new bootloader (hboot) without HTC service. Hope something will apear soon.

Anyway i suspect that due to overheating there is some hardware fault, mine unit was in the car during somertime and i noticed to late

that position is not good. And as other people reported several force close, and going to boot loader itself then all stops just APX appeared

in device manager, also when you take off motherboard and connnect it to computer (only motherboard it also indicate APX after some minutes.

Until good news . bye!
[HTC One X] j to the 4n:
If you phone boots into APX mode its because of a hardware failure that causes the firm/software to crash.

Theres no way to fix it yourself without replacing hardware stuff. Your Hoxis still under full warranty, send it for repair.
[HTC One X] josh012:
maybe this one will help you .. i manage to get out in apx mode by holding volume + button then plug charger .. :)) then red light comes out .. leave for a full night .. then fry to open it . it will bootloop because you are in a bootloop state then try to access fastboot .. :)) hit thanks if i helped you ...

HOX APX

I tried vol+ and power connect as suggested but no any indication, except APX disappear and unknown device appear, then on power on APX appear again. But tks anyway .
[HTC One X] Vcek:
Htc locked apx mode, hence if you can access it either your board is fully discharged(rare cases) or something is burnt and it cannot be fixed without hardware replacement.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
No its not.

APX mode is the first mode the device will ever see, it is the first part of its life and the APX mode is used to flash software onto it. Its like flashing the boot.img etc but at the very start of the devices life. Hense why it can be flashed without an unlocked bootloader or rooted etc.

APX mode isnt well known with the HOX however, and HTC will not help at all, as they know this is a work around from unlocking the phone to flash, which voids their warranty.

If your in APX mode, I would try and get the RUU for your device and run that.
[HTC One X] j to the 4n:
I know that the APX Mode is the lowest software level of our devices, its more or less the BIOS of Android/Linux...

But do you know why NO one managed to boot into APX Mode on the HOX so far...WITHOUT a broken device? (-:

If you're following the Hox forums you will notice that there are sevearl threads about hox that are stucking in apx mode and once you are in apx mode their isnt a way yet to bring it back to life again. Often you will read as well, that the Hox behaved werid before, it was dropped, battery complety drained, or whatever...so i'm 99% sure that the reason that the Hox booted into APX Mode is a hardware defect/bug that leads the firmware to crash and boots the device into APX Mode.

..and no just running a RUU wont work. Also installing the correct nvflash drivers for you desktop OS wont help.

Your Desktop PC wont recognize your Device anymore...at least not in the state that is required to falsh it. It will show that your device is in APX mode..and here you are definatly not able to run a RUU.

[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
You have to ask yourself, what features in 4.2 make it a worthwhile release for Samsung? Camera and lockscreen enhancements wouldn't be adopted because Samsung uses Touchwiz there. Notification shade enhancements could be adopted. No, this is a bigger update for vanilla users.

Thanks in adavnce
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Opengl is a media standard that lets you use hardware acceleration and can use flash player, etc. But that version has a few glitches in it that causes freezes. I recommend using the non-opengl version.

You are using MTP protocol for your PC connection which is the default. It limits some of the files you can transfer. You need to switch to USB mass storage. Go to settings, storage, menu, computer connection, and select Mass Storage.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GOODMANJL:
Got the MTP Protocol changed thanks, so much that did it...

AS far as using the non-opengl version is there still a way to use flash without it? i.e. would i be able to use netflix?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Only way to use Netflix is to use rooted stock, CM7 or the beta CM10. CM9 does not run Netflix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mancubus99:
*Edit* The problem was found to be with Titanium backup and how it reports data usage by apps after you restore it. I have contacted the developer for investigation.

________________________________________

Hi guys, this is a x-post from the Themes and Apps forum. I thought I'd post it here so more eyes would see it as a potential warning:

________________________________________________________________________

So, I have Tasker installed on my Nexus just for simple automation that turns on Wi-Fi tether when my phone's Bluetooth pairs with my car stereo (which is also Android) so I can stream Internet radio etc.

I've been noticing lately that my data has been transmitting a lot when my phone has been sitting idle so I did some investigation and found that Tasker has sent over 2GB of data this month alone. This is more than I've used while tethered! I can't think of any valid reason as to why it would need to send that much data (if any at all) so I am highly suspicious of this app. Anyone else using Tasker? Can you check your data usage to see if you're seeing the same?

Update: I checked my previous months of data usage. Tasker shows as #1 with the following being reported:

September: 4.0GB

August: 3.36GB (app was installed August 7th from the Playstore).

Here's the FAQ from the author's site on Internet access usage:

The INTERNET permission is used solely for:

google maps downloading map data, only for setting up a Location context

to carry out HTTP Post/Get actions and other actions that require an Internet connection by their nature

to verify the order number, and only until it has been successfully verified

to check whether a new Tasker version is available, if configured in Preferences

Tasker never directly uses Internet access for anything else.

I have emailed the author asking for an explanation. I will update the thread when I hear back from him. In the meantime, if you're using Tasker I advise you to check your data usage to see any suspicious activity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wjsmaggle:
Maybe there's a bug in yours? Tasker consistently registers <10MB for me...

Edit: Thought I'd mention, I bought mine from the Play Store as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fabrizziop:
Tasker is <1MB for me too, and I got it straight from the author.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mancubus99:
My copy is from the Playstore as well. Updated to the latest version. The author has contacted me. I'll keep you guys posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UncleMike:
I've been using Tasker for over two years and have never had such an issue. In the past month, Tasker has used 899KB on my Nexus. I also have it installed on 4 other devices with no such problems.

My suggestion would be to examine your profiles - especially ones you didn't create yourself - for any actions that might use data.

The description you listed from the developer's due sounds right - Tasker uses limited data in support of other actions (like displaying maps in scenes), but has several actions that will use data if you tell it to do so.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diggmc:
May I suggest that you also checkout Droidwall. It will allow you to control what apps can access your wifi/data. This is assuming you've unlocked/rooted your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mancubus99:
OK, I think I've found the problem. It appears to be a bug in Titanium backup and restoring the usage statistics.

Someone else had a similar problem but with a different app. When he did a restore of the system data usage, he had a random app reporting excessive data use. I have also done a restore of my data use after flashing a new ROM so I did some further testing after unfreezing Tasker for a couple of days and everything appears to be fine in that there is no data use being reported.

Thanks Everyone for the suggestions. I am going to report my findings to the author of Titanium backup.
