Do you often leave the coverage area? Because constantly searching for network when there is none will eat battery. Also If you have data on it will allow background apps to use the internet, which consumes power as well.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You probably are getting a much stronger signal when it isn't trying to stay connected to mobile data.

The weaker your signal the greater the battery drain. Often when you enable data you get a weaker sig.

Also make sure its not set to wcdma only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
I'm in pretty good coverage area.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] djpingpong:
It is pretty normal for you to have more battery consumption with the data on than off. I had a myTouch 3G slide that could go for 3 days if I left the data off. Check to see if you have any apps that are being synchronized too often because that could be causing your phone to die quicker than normal.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
With data off apps can't update(refresh) right? That should keep them from waking the system up.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Try having wifi on when possible if you dont want to disable data.

lol! My slide was/is a beast! Dropped, kicked, slammed, scraped, you name it! Not a scratch on the glass! Cover looks like it was in an explosion!

Still use it for an alarm.

If they are set to sync they will still try. You have to turn off sync. But if they can't get out they still don't transmit so still less battery use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
Yeah that will probably fix the issue. When I was on TW, under the battery tab, I noticed that my phone would wake often during the night. Now with the data off, it stays asleep longer. I think ill have to use something like juice defender that enables and disabled data automatically

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Answer is no but you can wipe system via recovery and then flash a no wipe rom .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
If your rooted, use root explorer or similar and navigate to data / system and delete the file 'accounts.db' then reboot.

This will erase all accounts linked to the phone (email, gmail, Samsung, Skype & more).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 11's are 9's:
It's all over the Google Voice forums, multiple people (including me) are having an issue where the android Google Voice app when you send texts just show up as "queueing" forever unless you reboot your phone, at which point they send on reboot.

I've had limited success reflashing and installing a signed Gapps, but it's gone back to doing it again. Force killing GV can sometimes kick it over to "sending" but then it usually gets a sending error and keeps retrying until the reboot. The Google Voice forums are all useless, with nobody having solved the issue and nobody official chiming in. But then I thought hey, the xda folk are a lot smarter than them over there, maybe somebody here has figured this out!

Has anyone else had this problem and found a workaround?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oxygen955:
yup, back out of the program or force close it and relaunch it and they send....really annoying
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 11's are 9's:
Hmm, I was afraid of that, that solution is the best I've found too, but even that doesn't always work. It's to the point I'm just migrating from using GV, after using it and recommending it for 2 years or more. Not usable any more.

I have to *gasp* give my ACTUAL phone number to people. It's so barbaric and primitive, I feel like I'm living in the stone age. :P
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ewingr:
Google seems to be doing nothing with GV. No enhancements. Nothing.

I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me if the abandon it. Makes me a bit leery of using other Google apps in the future. For example, I am going to seriously miss iGoogle.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Bad programming... Looks like there is no timeout for the thread that sends/gets messages... But well... its been ages since they even updated GV...

My thoughts exactly!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] phasion:
I tend to get the queuing when I have a spotty signal. Switching to WiFi if it's available will get make it send for me. If you're on mobile I don't know of a workaround.

Definitely hope Google improves the app, I have cancelled my texting plan for many years and enjoying free sms and stalker free phone calls.

Running Helly_bean_i9100 latest build.

I installed whatsapp but it has been stuck at initializing forever. I have tried deleting it and installing a previous version, but it does not work too. I really need help!

Thank you in advance!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f_padia:
I got HTC One X and just flashed a couple of custom ROMs and found the same thing. I few other guys also experiencing it. We think it must be a whatsapp thing and are hoping it will resolve itself in time!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoox11:
if this problem persists and u need whatsapp do as following:

1- install whatsapp version 2.8 and enter ur cell number..of course it will fail to initialize

2- don't delete whatsapp just replace it with the newer version

this will give u access to chats but you'll have no contacts so they have to talk to you first

it's a half solution but better than nothing ;)

P.S: 2.8 is available on any file sharing websites just google it

[Motorola Droid 3] stretchnz:
Hi all

quite some time ago I killed a good 20% of my digitizer - bottom right corner where on screen keyboard is grrr.

Being in NZ I had a hard time finding anyone that would repair it for a reasonable cost etc. This phone is not native to NZ - parallel import.

Fired an e-mail back to a local supplier to touch base on an old quote and almost fell off my chair to find they had a spare screen/digitizer/keyboard/slider etc "second hand" for $90 NZD.

BOOM jumped on that, parts arrived I swear they are brand new !

Took it apart following a video guide, 60mins or so later she is as good as new :)

Like really new, never realised just how worn my keyboard was :/

WOHU

If anyone needs help with such things be sure to ask I can help where possible :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwort93:
So I recently cracked my Verizon Galaxy Nexus Display, and it no longer turns on. I found a replacement display for the i515 sprint version that includes the back display frame. My question is whether or not this sprint display will be compatible with my Verizon nexus. Here is a picture:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iwasaperson:
Yes. It will work just fine.

Keep in mind that the i515 is the VZW Nexus. The Sprint Nexus is something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jwort93:
Awesome thanks! Yeah I knew that i515 was the Verizon version, but I never knew that the sprint was actually the L700. Thanks again!

The more I look, the less I am sure. Take a look at this picture, the parts seem different. Are you sure?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiz99:
So I'm in the market for a tablet. So my question is, is there any problems with the tab? I like the Galaxy because of the sd card slot. But I also want the nexus because of the dev support and updates
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergio_f:
i have one! my cons are weak and gap(left corner on bottom) wi-fi connection and battery, but my big cons is bad support by Samsung on updates
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imnuts:
Care to tell me about this week support on updates? We have 3-4 updates since May when the tablet was released, averaging one every month or two. I'd say that's pretty good personally. Maybe you're complaining that there is no Jelly Bean yet, but I'm not sure why since they just started pushing it out to phones, which are a much bigger money maker, in the past two weeks. We also know that the GTab 2 will be getting Jelly Bean as it was on the update list released by Samsung, and there have been leaks for every one of the GTab 2 models so far. You want to compare updates, the Nexus 7 has only had 2 updates since July, so they've gotten updates in the same time frame as this tablet, one every month or two. But yeah, Samsung hasn't been providing any updates...

IMO, the question really comes down to, do you want fixed storage and only access to AOSP ROMs, or do you want expandable storage and AOSP and TouchWiz ROMs? The developer pool may be larger on the Nexus 7, but you only have AOSP ROMs, and the popular ones are all on the Galaxy Tab 2 now anyway, and if you really wanted, porting them isn't all that difficult either. You also have access to TouchWiz ROMs if you get the Galaxy Tab 2, something you won't have on the Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 has fixed storage, with the option for USB OTG if you load a custom kernel, but that is the best you get for expandable storage. The Galaxy Tab 2 has fixed internal, but also supports microSD cards and USB OTG, so you don't need a dongle to expand built in storage.

I chose the tab 10.1 over the Nexus 7 for the following reasons

Expandavle storage

I use my tablet for content creation, would have gone with the note, but my budget wouldn't stretch. I rarely play games, rarely watch videos, by far the ability to create was the deciding factor for me and the Nexus 7 just didn't cut it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:
I'm seeing the ability to share pics and videos in the specs.

We can't currently do it with our Galaxy Nexus to and from the SGS III (and I haven't been able to test it with any other devices) so is there something new in Android Beam coming with the Nexus 4?

In other words, can we get some wifi direct lovin?!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xopah:
I think not,

My guess is (I have experienced the same thing) that the S3 is not capable of reviecing so large files via NFC.

and my simple guess is that if the S3 would have CyanogenMOD or something else it would work.. ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stubborn_d0nkey:
Where exactly have you seen the sharing in specs (was it just in soecs or mentioned as well?)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatical:
The Galaxy Nexus can send pictures via NFC. I tried it out with my Sprint Galaxy Nexus & GSM Galaxy Nexus. It'll take a while, but NFC picture transfers do work (I haven't tried videos though).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:
"Nexus 4 comes with Android Beam so you can easily share photos, videos, contacts, apps and more with a tap. Just touch two NFC-enabled Android devices back-to-back, then beam whatever's on the screen to your friend." From http://www.google.com/nexus/4/#camera.

I think it is the same old Android Beam though I was hoping it was something newer that would allow sharing with the GSIII. Good old proprietary Samsung. Google should have asked that NFC sharing was more standardized but true to Android platform tenets, Samsung went and made it better. Can't really blame them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
NFC only send very small data packets (~20kb). When it "shares over NFC", what they mean is the NFC initiates a Bluetooth connection, and sends the file via that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahmgwapo:
I really feel sorry for myself for believing in those Sam****'s commercials. I need to stop believing in them real quick.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:
They (SGSIIIs) do everything they say in the commercials ... This is about the Nexus line and how it needs to get on the WiFi direct bandwagon or make it optional so that we Nexus folks can send large files with all NFC enabled devices--particularly the SGS III, which happens to be the most popular.

If the Nexus 4 somehow does this, I'd definitely go pick one up. That's why I want to know what's up with them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayCapo1-8125:
We'll I have a Nexus 4, and attempted to send a small photo I grabbed from the internet to my brother-in-law's Galaxy Note 2, and both phones respond to the NFC detection. My phone says "Touch to Beam", and I tap the screen, and the Galaxy Note 2 says "Incoming beam.." But after 10 to 15 secs, says "Incoming beam failed".

I tried it with my wife's phone (SG3), and the same problem happened. This is very disheartening.. :( Don't get me wrong, the Nexus 4 rocks, love how smooth, and clean the O/S. Just the fact that I can't take advantage of Android Beaming to another Android device sucks at the moment. Knowing the SG3 is almost everywhere now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:
Hey thanks for checking that out!

So it looks like either S-Beam won't play nice with non-Galaxy S devices and/or the Nexus 4 doesn't use WiFi direct to actually send the file like S-Beam does.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscure.detour:
You know I've been playing around with NFC and Android Beam the past few days too and I'll share some of my results.

I've been able to "beam" links, youtube videos, and a picture. The devices I have available to try were my Nexus 4, a Galaxy Nexus (running 4.2 stock), and a Nexus S (running CM10 stable). All worked like it was supposed to. I did try to send a song to my brother's Nexus S, but it did the "Incoming beam..." thing that JayCapo pointed out. It eventually opened Google Music, but it never transferred.

Dunno, yet. Will try more and different scenarios.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlesstrail:
I've only tried using Android Beam to receive a photo, which works fine, and that's with another Nexus4 device.

As for wifi direct, the option is there, but I've not tried it yet.

In the wifi settings page, press the menu (three dots?) in the bottom right and select wifi direct.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbrownla:
Eeeek WiFi direct just kind of sits there not doing anything. I can connect to devices but the option to share doesn't seem to show up in the gallery or anywhere else. That's for another thread.

1. Wow I really thought we were done with this question. You even answered it for yourself, just put together the pieces. Team BatteryBar. Open the app and disable it. Or just search. Google does wonders...

2. The ROM you're on is using the TouchWiz UX launcher, which uses a square instead of a circle. Download Apex or Nova launcher. Or just flash stock CM10...

Some are, some aren't. I got mine on launch day, waited at the store till they opened and got the first note, promptly attempted some of the international rooting methods and soft-bricked it.

Root it if you have something you want to use, ie Titanium Backup, Sixaxis (PS3 Controller on GN2 is cool, FF7 and 8 look great on the phone), etc.

The root methods as of now are safe if you follow directions, triangle away will reset your counter if you restore stock recovery/ROM, so that leaves it to your personal preference.
