You only quoted part of my post but absolutely that was in reference to the current roms for the i717. It would be great to see roms other than the AOSP/AOKP we have been flashing thus far.

This sounds like CornerStone. I've been posting on several XDA forums since I found out about it. http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/ Here's the site and should GitHub for the source. I think it could be used on our Notes rather easily.

Hi all, yesterday I shot the video unboxing of latest Asus Nexus 7 32GB version.

If you are interested, here you are the link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLX7CqFKhLo

In a few days I will post the full video review.

Let me know what do you think about it. ;)

Ciao
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
While I appreciate you taking the time in making a video, I really don't see the need or value in it.

There are already dozens (probably more) of Nexus 7 unboxings for the 8GB and 16GB models. The 32GB is identical in every way, outside of the internal flash chip. Nothing new to see.
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
Of course, you are right, there may be many others unboxing video about Nexus 7 in 16Gb and 8GB version.

Maybe someone hasn't seen them yet and wants to see directly the 32gb one.

Maybe I'm giving more technical specs than others, maybe not (did you see my video before this post?).

Maybe someone wants to know what version does this nexus come with?! Maybe not!

I shoot this video just for my pleasure (and I hope for someone else pleasure too!), at night ('cause I have a job and a family) and, most of all, without earining a single damn penny for it.

I'm sorry if I did bore you: next time maybe you can even just skip a thread like this if you are not interested!

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] Omar04:
Too many unboxing videos and reviews also 32gb have nothing different specs wise except 16+gb. And yes there are 32gb reviews in YouTube already.
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
Lol! :)

Did you see the video before posting this?
[Nexus 7 General] idevice12345:
Ipad mini is better
[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
i watched it, and while we appreciate you doing the video its nothing new. maybe when u get that nexus 10 you should do another. unboxing videos are more for unreleased devices or devices everyone is waiting on and can't wait so watching youtube unboxing videos excites us. there isn't much to be excited about as most of us have nexus 7's already, in 8/16/32gb variants. but, thanks anyway
[Nexus 7 General] hbkmog:
What's the difference of unboxing 32gb one from 16gb one other than the invisible on camera additional 16bg storage.

There's nothing new to see there sorry pal.
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
I tried to report as many technical specs as I could in the video. If you watched it, you can remember when I talked about the downclocked frequencies of the GPU. I haven't seen many videos having in deep review of technical aspects. Maybe someone could appreciate it, while someone else just doesn't care.

That's why I though that this unboxing could be interesting.

Anyway, no one is forcing you all from watching it if you don't care. I lost my sleep time for shooting these videos and it's not that nice reading some of you saying the video is useless without even watchin' it!
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
Ha ha ha...you are a genius. :laugh::laugh::laugh::good:
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
You seem to be missing the point. No one is attacking you for making the video. Everyone has been polite about the matter (except for you). What everyone is simply saying is, that there is no purpose in making an "unboxing" video for a product that was released 4 months ago. No one is going to watch it since everyone here already unboxed their own. The purpose of those types of videos is for when a product first comes out, so people who haven't picked theirs up yet, or are on the fence about buying one, can see what it's all about. And while your video might have some more technical information in it, most people on XDA are already well familiar with the specs and details. And the fact that it has 32GB is irrelevant. It's like making a duplicate car test drive video for a new model that has a different A/C filter in it.

Lastly, if all you wanted was positive feedback, you probably shouldn't have posted anything on the Internet in the first place.
[Nexus 7 General] irishrally:
"Useless" = every post in this thread except the OP.

OP: it's better to just ignore these comments and not respond. Thanks for the video.
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
Am I asking you for a positive feedback? Can you please point me where?

I'm open to any possible feedback, when the feedback it's a constructive one.

I don't think I've been unkind or unpolite in any ways. Instead, I do think it's unpolite and even unfair to judge someone else video without even watching it. As well as it's unpolite (and not only) to believe to be representative of a whole community. Do you think XDA is made up only of skilled people? Do you think the whole XDA members live in Us?

I do perfectly know what does an unboxing video means as well as I know Nexus 7 was announced in June and went on the market middle July in Us and Australia. But maybe you don't remember that not every country has Nexus 7 yet, or that maybe in some others it went on sale later (here in Italy nexus 7 @16GB started being sold on late September/ beginning of October, while Nexus 7 @32Gb will start at middle November).

Having these thoughts in my mind and considering that I tried to be as more technical as I can, I just though that this unboxing could be useful to someone, if not, I'm not forcing anyone in watching it.

Thanks for your constructive feedback anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] Aratheba:
Thanks, you are completely right.
[Nexus 7 General] hbkmog:
Way to be eloquent by calling people names. Maybe people just have seen TOO MANY of these type of videos already when the it was first released many months ago?

[Nexus 7 General] smirkis:
this, was the most useless. the OP asked "tell me what you think". so everyone did, in a pretty polite way. this thread should just be locked. its a 3-4 month old device. no one is dying for the device to be released or leaked photos, its been out. not to mention he already opened the device, took off the plastic, and just put it back in to make a video. should be called a nexus 7 review video, not a unboxing.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
:good:
[Nexus 7 General] krips2003:
People who have issue with the video, why don't you guys just skip it. As per your logic there are several flavors of AOSP roms, and people should stick with only one and rest of the dev simply call it a day. If you guys cannot appreciate someone's work then don't criticize is either.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
There is a big difference between making a custom ROM and making a custom "unboxing" video. Going by your analogy, it would be like someone taking the AOSP image, changing a filename of one of the files that no one will ever see, and releasing it as a new ROM under a new name.
[Nexus 7 General] kable:
Thanks for the review! Its always nice to see different comments and opinions on a product and normally sort videos by newest first.

Ignore the haters, they have nothing better to do.

I am confused why the OP gets so defensive when he knows how long the device has been out.

Making sense this is about as much sense as me beating my head I to a brick wall.

Enjoy your tablet and at least do one when its new as you seem to know what you are talking about, its just there have been done over and over.

[Nexus 7 General] davidstech11:
Just because people mentioned the unboxing was not being needed for whatever reason it didn't seen as if people were attacking OP. Instead it seems as if the OP was offended.

With the Nexus 7 being out as long as it is, and as many videos that are out about it already I agree that another didn't seem like it was needed. I am not attacking the OP because he did. I purchased a 32GB Nexus 7 too and before I did I just watched the older reviews and unboxing.

The OP can make as many videos as he wants. Just a lot of us don't think it's necessary and several reasons are listed. Maybe someone will enjoy it like you hope though. Enjoy your tablet.

I just couldn't get aroused watching this...

But seriously, this video just was made at a poor time. It's like a car review for the your "new" 2010 model in 2012.

Solely because of this video I assume.

But but but! His 2010 car had a different color air filter! So that makes it new and exciting.
[Nexus 7 General] Alejandrissimo:
Unboxing videos are for no xda-people.

All the specs for tegra 3 devices are the same sh*it, so there is nothing new on your video.

Btw Ciao means hello. Usually you put hello at the beginning, not at the end of a thread.
[Nexus 7 General] phonic:
The word "ciao" (/ˈtʃaʊ/; Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃaːo]) is an informal Italian verbal salutation or greeting, meaning either "hello", "hi", "goodbye", or "bye". Originally from the Venetian language, it was adopted into the Italian language and eventually entered the vocabulary of English and of many other languages around the world. The word is mostly used as "goodbye" or "bye" in English, but in modern Italian and in other languages it may mean "hello" or "goodbye", similar to the word shalom in Hebrew, salam in Arabic, or aloha in Hawaiian.

Wrong, how can you say all I did was making calls when:

1, i attached a picture of my screen on time with 3 hours of usage,

2, when screen usage was 62% while Voice Calls was only 21%:confused:

Thank you. :highfive:

Nothing in your first post stated that my screen shot was fake, even if you did, your statement would still be wrong.

Also if I was an idiot to do what you would,(In bold). The graph in my first screen shot wouldn't be decreasing from (start, finish). It would have shown spikes of increasing.

I think you just really need to read better, and stop assuming everyone lie about their battery screen shots.

There's no point for most others and I to do that,

I posted my screen shots with a simple intention to help OP to achive better battery life on his SGS3.

As I know the phone has the potential.

Thus the reason I stated "using latest wanam lite with persus kernal".

Then you chime in with all these non sense.

I know I have probably wasted 5 minutes of my time writing this as you probably will just ignore the facts.

But as you are a senior member on XDA so please,

The least contribution you can make is by not plaguing XDA with false information and negativity.

People like you make us lose faith in humanity.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Well maybe when you post screen shots you can explain what you used it for instead of just posting a screen shot and going away.

More information is more helpful and will give people a more understanding.

I've seen people in here boasting and showing screen shots of 35 hours but giving no information of how, what battery they used or how they used their phone or what settings they used and when I asked got no reply.

Your screen shot didn't really show much to be honest other than you used a custom Rom.

Lastly I never said yours was fake but just wanted more information.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
Its not 18 hours at 50% but its certainly possible to achieve good battery life playing games and using Internet etc.

See screen shots below.

@ OP

Media looks high to me on your screenshot. You may have the media server wake lock draining battery.

As a temporary solution force close the media server. It should be OK until you reboot. Then you will need to close it again.

Some people (myself included) have had success in overcoming this by formatting the external SD.

Good luck

How are you guys getting +14h and have so much battery left? wow!! I'm finally getting decent battery life and was pretty happy and then see your screenshot and get all sad again. I don't think I even got that kind of mileage on ICS :(

my screenies:silly:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
If that's 5 hours solid gameplay then I would say that's quite good.

If not then I would say that the biggest battery drainer on these phones is the auto 2g/3g setting (wcdma/gsm).

I always set this to wcdma only.

There next 2 highest causes of drain are data and WiFi.

I use a paid app called smart settings to control data ie switch it off when screen is off. It switches on at intervals I set in order to sync etc.

I use Chamonix's Better WiFi on off to take full control of WiFi (he is the developer of Better battery stats app and has an xda thread for the better WiFi app)

Screen brightness is something else you can take control of. There are many ways to do this. Personally I use an app called lux.

Even with all this it is still possible to run into issues with errant apps causing wakelocks that will eat through battery.

I use BBS to keep an eye on these. Then Google to look for solutions.

I notice that the 2 previous posters have posted screenshots of their battery life. The first one has what looks like an issue with mediaserver and the second with GPS Daemon. There are solutions to both of these. There is even a thread in this section that specifically addresses JB battery drain issues.

Finally choice of ROM and kernel is very important. No one can advise on this as everyone's needs are different but if you find a combination that suits you then go for it.

Hopefully some of the above may help. Don't give up as these devices can have phenomenally good battery life. Its just getting there that can be a bit difficult.:)

Where I am I get low signal and when I visit my folks out in the country signal is bad too so gsm is better plus I mainly use WiFi anyways so won't really be affected unless I'm out travelling or somewhere where there's a good signal.

Got my extended battery today so I'll charge that and try it tomorrow, still won't stop me in my pursuit for better battery performance though.

Thanks for the links, very kind of you :)

Do I just leave the better WiFi alone or do I have to toggle it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
If you just leave it on the default settings WiFi will go off when the screen is of. You might want to go into the advanced settings and make sure you have it set to stay on if there is still network activity otherwise it will switch off when you are trying to download or stream.

The fact that you have poor network coverage is probably the main culprit for your poor battery life. Switching off data will also help a lot. If you don't want to do it automatically with an app just switch it manually from the toggle on the dropdown notification screen.

When you get more confident with flashing etc it might be advisable to experiment with different modems/radios or kernels to see if you can improve your reception. For now I would advise just to take things slowly and try and maximise battery life by experimenting with settings.

Avoid battery saving apps and advice on recalibrating battery as the former rarely work or make things worse and the latter has proven to be an urban myth.

When you eventually get a setup that you are happy with make a nandroid backup so you can always revert to it if you stuff things up again :)

Thanks, I usually do nandroid backups of stock Rom and custom Rom when rooted as don't have to reroot every time.

Did lately install battery defender as heard a lot about it but to be honest it isn't doing very much other than annoying me turning off my WiFi.

I have background data restricted to only WiFi and have my data off too and my WiFi signal is very strong so that must be why my battery is suffering, don't know.

Learning about modems was my next mission but didn't know about radios so I'll look that up too :)

I white listed my network and ticked stay on if white list is connected then loads of jargon popped up so something is doing something.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrsea:
Modems and radio are the same thing. The term seems to be used interchangeably on the Sgs3 forums. It confused me at the start. Its probably a matter of hit and miss which works best for any individual phone.

You could be right about your Wi-Fi. Have a good read through the better Wi-Fi thread. I'm pretty sure I've seen reference there to different routers causing wakelocks and high battery drain. Not sure what the solution is as I've not had that particular issue.
