I am getting the problem of battery drain only in cm7.2 democracy. On stock battery lasts for 2.5 days but on democracy only 1 day. What is the problem?? I dont wana leave this ROM its so nice. Can any body help me out.

I already calibrated my battery but no solution....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] melch123:
I have the same issue, I am using CM10.1 RC0 by Olddroid but I think my problem is the charger. For the last month I charged my Gio using the usb connection from PC. Now, if I use the charger the battery drains faster than charging with the usb connection method. I am gonna buy a 1500 mAh battery and hope to solve this problem.

Hello Guys...... can anyone please suggest me any local phone/universal search app?

I am aware that Samsung removed phone search functionality from US handsets.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rickwood:
mrRobinson's sticky includes a link in the first post to the original apk that includes universal sesrch. If you root, you can simply replace the non-universal search apk with the original universal search-enabled version. It works great.

Hi, i'm looking for the apk of the app of messaging of an android open source.

Can be possible?

I'm trying to make my own rom, and i'm looking for nice designed apps.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
You can download either the cm10 or scv7 and use the mms/sms apps from there, they are both aosp/cm open source based. SCV7 is really a stock rom with mostly aosp parts, so be careful there, since this has already been done, and done for almost a year now with the SC ROM. You might PM rdavisct first if you plan to do/use this.

Once you pull the rom zip down, you can pull anything out from them you want, while on your computer.

You do know how to use the kitchen, right? You can build a rom based off of another one, and swap in and out apps, just make sure to give credit where credit is due.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdeq:
Anyone else have the issue that when the screen times out and turns off when turning on again the app has disappeared from the screen and has to be accessed again by selecting relevant app.

This is especially annoying when writing an email or text.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverback:
I had the same problem, and found that turning the screen back on using the power button on the side left the app you were using still active.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
Yes .. It seems like when you press the home button after the screen goes off it not only switches the screen on but also takes you to the home screen. This wasn't the case in my old S2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotnikz:
This happens if you freezed the S-Voice app! Unfreeze and all will be good :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohJee:
Interesting. Apparently it happens when s-voice activation by home screen is disabled, even if the app is not frozen. I disabled it because it induces a lag to the home button.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robotnikz:
ok now you can choose whats more important to you ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdeq:
Thanks for the help on this. I had indeed disabled S-voice but even defrosting it did not solve the problem.

Using the side button instead of the home button does however bring me back to the app i was using. Thanks Silverback!

Update > restarted and now working perfectly after defrosting S-voice. Thanks Again!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golfgame:
I have been all over the web in search of something that will extend my battery life in one particular application. So far I am empty handed. I have contacted the application support staff and they say it is not their issue.

I use GolfLogix on the golf course. Up until a couple of weeks ago I had no issues. I could get thru the round and still have plenty of battery left to carry me into the evening.

Then one day without anything changing to my knowledge the phone began to run out of battery half way thru a round, somewhere around the 2-1/4 hr mark.

At that time I was running Ginger Bread on a Droid Razr.

They had me uninstall the app and reinstall the latest version. That did nothing.

Since then I have upgraded to ICS and that has helped a bit. The phone dies at about the 3-1/4 hr mark.

I might add that I am also running Juice Defender Ultimate.

I always start with an overnight charge and 100% battery.

It would appear that something in the app has changed even thou they say not or items in the background are sucking up power.

I have installed Better Battery Stats in hopes that would shed some light but I am not understanding what I am seeing there. Besides once the phone dies their is nothing there after recharging.

Can anyone offer any help or suggestions?

Thanks in advance

:crying::crying::crying:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SinfulRoad:
Well from my experience Juice Defender causes more problems then good. Better Battery Stats will shed some light on what might be waking up your phone but what you might also want to check is to see if some application is sending/receiving large amounts of data, this will pretty much kill your battery because of how much of a battery drainer 4G really is. So just go to your settings and click Data Usage just to check if there is an application like that. I've been hearing about problems like that with the new gallery and such.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] golfgame:
Thanks for your reply. I have done as you suggested and turned Juice Defender off. In addition I was able to fore the phone to 3G. That has always been sufficient for me in the past. If you have any other thoughts pls post them. I will come back to you after my next round of golf with the results.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
Has anyone tried the S beam on this? I may be handing down my S III to someone where using this might be worthwhile.

I did the settings on both phone to enable it, but have not been able to get them linked to transfer files. I have tried going both ways and get a popup of touch to transfer but it disappears fast and nothing is transferred. i had read that it is supposed to first ask permission to connect, but this does not pop up on either device.

I am wondering if in typical Samsung fashion, have they made the two devices S beams incompatible (like they did with Android beam)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
to use S-beam, both devices must have S-beam and wifi enabled, which means they both must be samsung devices (S3, note II for example). you then have to go to an app that supports sharing via NFC such as a picture from your gallery. after you touch phones you have to hold it there then tap and wait until it prompts you to separate the phone; i'm guessing this is the step that's being done wrong. if you separate too early the connection will never be established.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
I have encountered the prompt to separate a few times, and I do so slowly (also been using stock gallery pictures) and still no transfer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
This took me a few rries with my new Note2's. Touch the backs, touch the image to transfer, and separate when it says to. Works pretty decent. Even cooler is photoshare. The wife and I went on a safari today and took about a hundred photos between the two of us and we both have all of them on both our devices. Badass Samsung!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
What I am asking is does it work with other devices and not just two of the same? I would like to be able to do what you did with a Note 2 and Galaxy S III
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
My roommate has an S III and I have a note II. We are able to use S beam, but like I said, we needed to hold the phones there, tap, and wait for a prompt to say it's okay to separate the phones. Initially, we failed to beam because we were separating too early. Maybe you should also make sure you both have nfc/sbeam turned on as well as wifi?

Tried the Nfc with a Motorola razor maxx hd and it opens the play store on his phone every time I try to send a file... Why??

Sent from my T-mobile Galaxy Note II
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jinra321:
sounds like you're trying to send something from an app that he doesn't have. if i try to send my roommate a note from s-note, it will open the play store for him as it doesn't know how to negotiate the file. also note that i dont think you can send large files via nfc, i couldn't even send a picture.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Geekgirrrl:
Nfc transfer works with Nexus 7, fyi

Tmobile SGH-T889 using xda premium.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
I do not have a SIM in my S III (It is in my note 2 now), but NFC and wifi transfer should not be affected.

I have carefully done all the settings on both devices and the few times I have gotten the "touch the image to transfer", I separated slowly when it said to and have yet to get a transfer. I was only trying to transfer one photo from the gallery. Tried it both ways.

Update. I realized I had the Perseus kernel installed so I flashed over it and now S beam works.

Update 2 - working fine with S 3 on a leaked LI8 ROM. Official JB S 3 update came out, and it is broken at S 3 end now - WTF.

Question - there is no S beam apk, so which apk is it included in?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ptmr3:
The variant marker (v in this case) does not make the device incompatible. In reality it is identical to the t889 and will be able to share the same ROMs. I have seen certain devices that the Canadian variant has different polarity in the sensors causing a backwards auto rotate but is a quick fix I can put up as a flash able if that is the case. .. but all in all your answer is yes, they are compatible

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] HKSpeed:
The V could mean minor hardware differences too. I used to have a SGH-T959V, which is a HSPA+ (4G) version of the HSPA (3G) SGH-T959. Aside from a different modem, the ROMs were not compatible between the two models. Both were US T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S1 phones. Samsung & T-Mobile released the T959 first, then released the T959V months later.

Hello folks,

I am currently using Cm10 m2 rom, SGH-T999 (AT&T),JB 4.1.2, Nova launcher for about two weeks now. I was able to use GPS on google maps in the morning but when i looked at my phone later, the battery was 20% gone from the constant GPS searching for signal. Google maps is unable to locate my location but my other apps were able to locate me. I have tried disabling all running services but this searching for GPS signal thing is contantly showing up...does anyone knows an app that will tell me what app is requesting gps signal?

Thanks in advance!

If maps can't get your location then that's probably the issue.

Yeah, i rebooted a couple of times, wipe out dalvik cache, removed battery and uninstall google maps. When google map was uninstalled, the GPS searching for signal continues to run.

1. Open up Root Explorer on your X8 first..

2. then follow this path:

system > etc >customization > content > com > sony ericsson > homescreen > wallpaper (system wallpapers are here)

PS: if you can't delete the item, and it's giving you a 'read only' message, simply click on the 'Mount R/W' icon at the top of the page, which

will now turn to 'Mount R/O',, then you can now delete it..

1. use the deodexer to deodex your SGY ROM (whichever one) // works with some ROMs such as infected-ablaze, but not with stock ROM

2. put the system sub directory in a zip file as input file for the patch generator

3. the patch generator then gives you two files to patch and unpatch your ROM

4. actually patch your ROM

5. install pdroid.apk and clamp down on spyware for good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10640973&postcount=1 gives you a kinda working deodexer for SGY. But dsixdas kitchen is way better in Linux, in Cygwin it is a total FAIL.

you don't really need above deodexer though. it's output file do not quite work on current CWM either. it is old edify style without script-binary, so it could be fixed.

it still gives you the input file for the pdroid patch generator, the system subdir without any .odex crap in it.

but CWM does not like its zip output file: "install abort !" :confused:

both stock + cwm recov same prob.

cuz that is the wrong appraoch. ;) instead: zip up system subdir from infected-ablaze install zip, which contains no .odex files.

then the patcher works. :good:

under infected-ablaze 2.5.2 you can then run pdroid nicely !

find the ready made patcher and unpatcher zip files attached to install from within CWM.

tells you what to do in general terms

-----------------------------------------------------

another ROM that can be enabled for pdroid is repencis 3.5 advanced.

it has a "system replacer app" to help in the effort.

you need these files:

1. CWM

2. repencis 3.5a

3. vibra fix for above

4. the pdroid patcher (see post #1)

5. pdroid apk version 1.3.7 for gingerbread

repencis 3.5 deletes all from system partition. you should, if needed, also manually delete cache, dalvik cache & data and also the OS stuff from sdcard like DCIM, ANDROID dir asf. for a clean start.

then you have a clean system in case you messed up e.g. after using LINK2SD, MOUNTS2SD, or other stuff that installs as system app like usb-debug-toggle asf..

it is quite straightforward to patch the framework files and install them.
