[Nokia Lumia 920] emckai:
The rattling sound could be the 'floating' camera lens.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Nissan350:
That's exactly what it is. OP, don't waste your time returning your phone for another. All 900's and 920's do this. I have turned my vibration off and am using sound only and I honestly don't miss any notifications.
[Nokia Lumia 920] hawc1506:
I had a similar experience on my HD2. Read here.

That said, is the rattle on the 920 as loud as those on the 900? My friend's 900 has a fairly loud rattle. I'd be able to tolerate something less.
[Nokia Lumia 920] trickyhenry:
Theverge and engadget have said that noise is the floating (that is spring mounted) lense. Do not return it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] drleospaceman:
They could fix easily this by simply limiting the max vibration level. Even without the rattle it's far too strong. The haptic feedback vibrations are relatively soft and cause no rattle. Or they could put in a setting to let you choose your vibration level (maybe 1-5 levels). Samsung modifies the OS and puts in extra settings on the settings page so it's not out of the question. Just depends on if Nokia can be made aware and how motivated they are to sort it out.
[Nokia Lumia 920] derausgewanderte:
same here. We got two (white and black). Both of the phones have the same problem with one being slightly louder in the rattle than the other, otherwise almost identical. The phones are otherwise in top shape. If it was just one of them I wouldn't have hesitated to return them. But both the same problem and then many more people with the same problem. I believe that the phones I would get will show the same problem.

It's not too bad, certainly not as bad as others have shown on youtube. Only the first half second of the vibration does it. I hope this can be fixed with a setting after an update.

cheers
[Nokia Lumia 920] SuperSport:
Unfortunately, on mine, when I'm on the phone listening to someone, the vibration makes the call unbearable. I will likely have to return it since I have not been hearing others complain about it during calls. I could care less when it vibrates, but during calls is not cool. I'll be honest, I rarely use it for an actual phone anymore, but when I do, I need it to work.

"Notification Toggles" in the market. Perfect. Statusbar icon is always on but it doesnt bother me that much.

I love this!
[RAZR HD Themes and Apps] boakun:
I made my status bar icon go transparent. Good enough
[RAZR HD Themes and Apps] Orphee:
I use Power Toggles, it is good to, and if you move the APK into /system/app it can also enable/disable GPS directly without showing parameter menu.

Thank's Orphée !

I'm twisted, I like my (old) system as widgets,lol
[RAZR HD Themes and Apps] princeplanet:
I use extended Controls. They are customisable, and I use only the toggles I need.

Here I am using 2 rows because the buttons are larger.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greenbackz:
hey i just installed the CM10 jellybean nightly a few days ago and have noticed a HUGE decrease in my battery life.. like not just a little worse but dies SUPER fast ever since. prior to this rom i was running cleanrom for the longest time and my battery could last me the whole ride to work and back, while listening to songza and i normally don't touch my phone while im at work maybe a few times to check txt or facebook..

is this just a temporary thing? i've heard that after a week or two the rom "adjusts itself" and battery life should improve..

i really like the rom its super snappy, but if the battery life is always going to be this bad i might just have to go back to a sense rom :(:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] msn.debord:
You could try calibrating the battery. Or wipe everything and do a fresh install if you didn't yet.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greenbackz:
how do u calibrate teh battery?

also.. by wipe everything what do u mean? before installing the rom using TWRP i did factory reset 3 times, cleared cache 3 times and cleared dalvik cache 3 times. would that do the trick, and is there even a point in doing it 3 times? lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] msn.debord:
Battery calibration in the app store.

Did you wipe system also? I don't know why they tell us to wipe three times. I just do it just in case.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thedauntlessone:
Don't do "battery calibration." CM10, at the moment, has much worse battery life than Sense based rom. Some things you can do to decrease battery drain during idle is turning off location update/sharing in Maps and facebook notification (if you're using FB).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] sandys1:
I have been trying to solve my bad battery life on cm10 7 Nov as well. Am running rohan kernel on power save, but no improvement
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] For_itembine:
have you tried MIUI jellybean? the battery seems good
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] CheesyNutz:
Sounds like a nasty wakelock
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hapticxchaos:
basic trouble shooting steps in regards to battery life;

1. Use the app "BATTERY BATTERY STATS" to pinpoint which app or process is using the most power

2. Use the stock kernel and kernel values

3. If all else fails, redownload, rewipe, and reinstall

:)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] greenbackz:
hmm.. yah i heard your supposed to calibrate the battery when its 100% charged tho. anyways. i switched to the latest AOKP (which i think is based off of CM10 anyways?!) and battery life seems to be way better already. also my microphone works for soundhound which didn't work on the CM10 nightly. also noticed a high pitched noise when i recorded a video on the cm10 but not on the AOKP! woot.. pink unicorns & swagger ftw! :p

Please suggest how to make it better and faster....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Azyx:
Im using TheBrainsRom, it's just a sony based rom with some tweaks for performance and battery life, and has a much smoother scrolling.

I was waiting for a good Miui Xperia U rom, but i'm quite satisfied with TheBrainsRom for now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] speedytangent:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] a0952031:
Recently, I may have just soft bricked my phone. I am not totally sure. I flashed a rom and flashed another mod and the phone is ****ed. Basically, the phone is stuck on boot image like a loop and when I try to enter into the bootloader mode, the screen is totally black and keep rebooting. If someone also encounters similar problem, here is the solution:

1. in loop boot image, hold power button and you will see the 3 buttons at the end of the phone flashing

2. when it restart, immediately push "power button"+"up volume" (it is necessary to hold these two buttons at the same time)

3. it may enter or may not enter into bootloader. I personally tried 20+ time to get into bootloader (my screen is totally black, so I have no idea if I have successfully enter bootloader or not. But, here is a trick. turn on your computer volume. if you have successfully entered the bootloader, you will hear the "usb connection sound") (just for people who are interested, if you enter bootloader with usb connected with your computer, the phone will automatically enter fastboot mode)

4. start command

5. type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter it (if it is not in fastboot mode, command will reply "device not found", then unlucky you, keep trying. Just unplug the usb cable and replug it again and try the command again until it works)

7. if the phone reboots, the phone will reboot into a functional bootloader, then you can enter into recovery mode and restore your backup.

I tried at least 40 times for this to work. the process was painful, but at least it is better than a dead phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I just use vol (-) and power, works 100% of the time. Also, adb commands will NEVER work in boot loader.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
I heard a nasty rumor that holding volume up button while booting kills it? Urban legend?

Hold volume down and power till the buttons stop flashing. Wait Luke 2 seconds, release power button and keep holding volume down till you get to a white screen with 3 skating droids.

Report back
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
What do you mean "kills it"? I assure you holding volume up and booting is 100% safe.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I believe it is the one s, and maybe one other HTC device, not sure which, but holding vol (+) and power boots them into qshusb mode. On our Evita, if you hold vol (+) throughout boot, it goes tin to safe mode.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Yea that's the rumor I heard... its been awhile so I wasn't sure. Thanks 18th for clarifying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
I picked one up today. It's a gunmetal color. The attached picture shows off like greyish silver. The shade changes depending on the angle and lighting. The demo units are definitely grey like in my picture. I was at another store and the previous customer picked up the last unit and it was almost black, which I really liked. Can anyone concurr they've seen units that are almost black?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mike2518:
only grey and white available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] daddymatt:
Mine is darker than your pic.. but it could be lighting.. but in the brightest light I have mine isnt that silver.. but its still "gun metal" just darker... probably lighting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
I saw several units in various stores. There was one that was a tad darker, but most look similar to mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] balpreetsaini:
Mine is quite a bit darker. I would say that it almost looks black on the front. The back is pretty light still.

:confused:

I keep setting "Stay Awake" under Development Options, but when I reboot, I have to check the option again.

Anyone else have or has had this problem?

,,, for the record:

[Developer options]

**Stay Awake

*Screen will never sleep while charging

... NOT:

[Display]

**Smart Stay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
Yup, me too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Thats normal behavior, if u click stay away then plug it in then unplug then plug back in you will notice its also unchecked again [least it shuld be]

This is because you dont want ur screen to stay on like that always right, lol.

Now that being said, there is an option under display to keep the screen on as long as your looking at it. [Face must be detected by cammera]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
The check box is for "stay awake while charging"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Yes that should he commen knowlede, thats the stay awake under developer options. thats why I was discussing the charging situation of checking the box, pluing your phone in, then unpluging n plutlging back in qnd the box will uncheck. This guy appaerntly wants his phone to stay awake regardless of that, hence the stay awake while looking at device option I mentioned. Which is in screen settings.

Note the two diffrent settings menus quted, hope this clears up any confusion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
I too find this very frustrating. I turn on Stay Awake and have to keep turning it on. And as this is my 3rd Android phone and have often used nightlies I know that it doesnt HAVE to turn off. On my Defy I had Stay Awake selected and no timeout set for the screen and was quite happy. I use my phone in my car as a GPS and expect the damn thing to stay on, and do not want to have to swipe the pattern every 10 minutes, which is the longest timeout on the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Gps should keep your screen on regardless of settings, use google navigation. Works that way for me at least. N thats without stay awake while charging or stay awake while looking ticked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
I want my Note to ALWAYS stay awake on

WHEN CHARGING

which is what that specific feature is supposed to do. Plugging/unplugging does NOT disable the feature for me, only rebooting. It should stay enabled. The feature is ONLY meant to keep it awake when it is being charged.

Also, anyone knpw if there is a way to prevent the screen from DIMMING when "stay on while charging" is working (or any time the screen is on for that matter)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Op, I was looking in the market for an app for wake locks and I found this

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDEsImV1LnRoZWRhcmtlbi53bCJd......read the description. View attachment 1479100
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
That has nothing to do with KEEPING THE SCREEN BACKLIGHT AWAKE. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Kobe_No_Means_No:
Maybe it's to prevent the screen from burn-in (although it'll probably still happen eventually.) My galaxy nexus had burn-in after months of usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MisterEdF:
It's intent is to be a DEVELOPERS option (hence the developers menu item) and not a USER option so my guess is that is why it does not survive a reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
.. Im not saying thats what the app was intended for. That being said it will keep the screen on .... Also it will work even after reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaded_tree:
Stay Awake While Looking at Device is not sufficient for all situations. For instance, if you need Google Maps to keep up with the latest traffic conditions during your commute, you definitely do not want the screen to shut down if you haven't looked at the screen for a while.

Unplugging the USB cable or charger has nothing to do with the Stay Awake While Charging setting in the Developer Options section. I have unplugged and replugged my phone several times after ticking the Stay Awake While Charging box, and the setting never changes, not even after rebooting.

Even at that, my screen still shuts off after a certain amount of inactivity - but when I turn it back on, there's a message saying the phone is charging on the lock screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Google navigation stays awake on my phone even without stay awake while charging. If its ticked I have never had it turn off except sometimes when unpluging n plugging back in, this may be rom specific.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fubarduck:
I was having the same problem as the OP until yesterday.

Download "StayAwake" for free from the Play store. Simple program with two options - stay awake at all times, and stay awake when charging.

This program in particular works better for me than "Stay Awake" in the Dev options for an important reason: it can keep the screen awake while UNLOCKED and plugged in, but if the phone is locked and I receive a notification that wakes it up, the screen will turn off after a few seconds like normal.

So: If I'm using in the car and want to keep my music player/maps/whatever visible, it does that. BUT if I'm sleeping and charging the phone and I get a text message that turns the screen on, the screen won't stay on all night long and heavily slow down my charge time like it would with the Dev option.

As an iPhone user this is the functionality I was used to and this software does it very easily.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] sunglint:
StayAwake works great!

YAY! This worked exactly as you described. Now Google Maps or whatever else I need stays on and the phone unlocked while driving.

I think it's interesting that we need apps like this to recover functionality that I had on other phones. Another example is the USB storage mode, I had to download "Easy UMS" to be able to access the SD card properly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DJ ELITE:
good enough for me, for now. thanks!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Are yall on stock rom? You shouldent have a problem on custums. I just ran my navigation for 20 miniuts the other day on the international port with no staw awake app. I didnt need it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] marshalleq:
I was having this problem too, actually still am. Those custom apps are one way I suppose, but I think this is actually a bug since it has intermittent results. Sometimes it stay's awake, sometimes it doesn't. I have never been able to put my finger on exactly what is causing it, probably because it's nothing I have access to.

I'll try the app, last time I did there was a bit of a caveat.

And for the record, if there is some kind of screen burn in saver with my phone, it is the first time after owning several versions of varying android phones, so it is a 'new' option that contradicts it's own description, so I'm not convinced.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lindel:
Mine is one of those that keeps changing its setting at each reboot. It's done it when it was stock and unrooted, stock and rooted and with Jedi XX. Very annoying when playing a game or trying to do something else where I'm not constantly looking at the screen.

I've had 2 previous android phones and both "stayed awake" when they were supposed without a user intervention each and every time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
tasker?

Sent from my SGH-T889
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] rogerbacon50:
I set my screen time out for 10 minutes and, after reading this thread, set the option to stay awake when looking at the screen. That way I only have to look at it once every 10 minutes to keep it awake. If I'm not looking at it at leat once every 10 minutes then I probably don't want it to stay awake.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
I FINALLY started using Tasker. It's helped fix more than a few annoyances. Among other things, it does an excellent job of triggering "Stay Awake on AC" on boot-up so it stays set - It's no longer an issue for me!
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
i do not understand this , but why is that the ram usage is always hovering around 500mb .. i have a mb525 defy running JB which uses far less ram .

Any ideas ?

i haven't installed any apps that are running in background or consuming large memory . i'm on stock un rooted 4.0.4
[Motorola Atrix HD] rquinn19:
Defy has half the ram. Unused ram is wasted ram
[Motorola Atrix HD] AnkurBedi:
By that logic nexus 4 ram is a waste . Caching of process state is good for quick use , agreed . But what's eating 500 of it , when I haven't added much apps . A usage of around 350 to 400 was what I was expecting .
[Motorola Atrix HD] Neroga:
My ram usage hovers around 670mb. High ram usage is good on Android. The device burns more power by constantly restarting background processes. The main time that ram is needed to be freed up, from my experience, is for DOS emulators after tweaking auto kill in ROM Toolbox to allow extra ram to be used for the foreground application. Makes DOS games run a LOT smoother with virtual ram set up. Even then, all it needs is an extra 64mb at most to make them run at optimal speeds.

Sent from my Jellybeaned Motorola Atrix HD MAXX
[Motorola Atrix HD] rquinn19:
Not sure what you mean? My SGS3 had high ram usage and it had 2 GB. The more ram your phone has, the more it uses. That's what I was getting at.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:

[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
Cm10 is ICS based mate. You HAVE to be on ICS before installing cm10 or any other ICS based Rom.

Read the noob guide in the general section. That will help you with FAQ'S. Also, it's not possible that you were on 2.3.4 before the flash. The a2 came out of the box on 2.3.5.

Little more info please?
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
CM10 is JB. Not ICS. Maybe on this POS device you state that its based on ICS, only because it requires an ICS kernal as we dont have a JB kernal . And my guess is we never will. :crying:
