[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deaffob:
Exactly, I already own Gnex and N7. I'm fully aware of what AOSP roms are capable of. No way I want any of those roms installed on my Note 2. I bought this because I wanted all those features that's tied into Spen. This phone would be very bad without the stock features. If I wanted stock experience, I would've waited for Nexus 4 or stayed with my Gnex. I've been rom hopping for last 2 years and now I just want something that's good enough.

I have to admit, it becomes like an addiction. I would be looking for new roms and rom updates constantly everyday.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] psn1819:
Im over touchwiz...I would luv to run cm10 or paranoid on this beast of phone.or miui would be real nice too...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
use a different launcher. I use Nova and I love it. I hardly see touchwiz and I still get all the spen features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkierawr:
There are cherrypicks you can do with AOKP right now that gives apparently full functionality to the S-Pen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] awesomedeals88:
Same here I'm always looking for rom updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Joe333x:
Iv already given up the s-pen. If it could hit the captive buttons then i would thinkbits great but needing to use the pen and your fingers to fully navigate the phone it anoying...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jghidalgo307:
You know there are gestures that the pen can do to imitate the back and the menu button right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tigerz0202:
Naah I like the stock ROM and its features and stock Android will never have Wi-Fi calling which is something I must have with work so I'll never put it on this phone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] konceptz:
Wifi calling is great but it's voice is a dinosaur.

I'm using the multi window rom and installed 4.2 Gapps.

Used the 4.2 launcher then switched to Go for the eye candy. Still maintain the S-pen while having 4.2 camera, gallery, ect AND sCal, sGallery and others.

Battery seems to be on par with stock Touchwiz, 40% after 15.5 hours, and 2.5hours screen time.

Still not sure how useful multi window is but I do agree Paranoid and the note2 were meant to be together.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deviusdragger:
first phone that im actually keeping stock!!! Phone runs smooth and with no problems.... aosp and aokp just seem.......pretty boring now. I do wish to have the nexus navigation on screen bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] volcomguyaz:
For the advanced users(we know who we are) AOSP will be great I can't wait. It's pointless now a days to not have AOSP it's best to start clean then add what you want free up all the space/ram and have the latest updates. I came from S3 and wanted the quad core, 5.5, and RGB s-pen can stay docked for all I care. When it comes it will be great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Testicopolicious:
Really?

Is it available for our Note II?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] drewtang:
No. The were added as the original note got support for aokp, once aokp (which cmenard is currently working on) is available for our device that functionality could be added, if it hasn't been merged by then.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
I've had the Galaxy Nexus LTE for nearly 11 months on Verizon. I've done what I can to stem battery drain. At some point, I just gave up diagnosing the problem and started carrying 5-6 spare batteries with me. Some people claim one day's use; others report the same problems. I think it all depends on how we use our phones--eg do you take a lot of pictures--and what apps we have installed. I use the phone hard but not that hard. Sometimes the phone will burn the battery just being in the pocket.

I don't want this to be another Galaxy Nexus battery life sucks thread. What I want to know is whether the battery drain problem will be solved before we consider moving onto phones running 4.2.

Some of the drain is due to the terrible LTE radio. Phones with integrated chips have much less hardware drain.

But about the software drain? When I run GSam Battery Monitor, the number culprits seem to be Media Scanner (Server?), acore processes--contacts, user dictionary.

I've dialed down or turned off syncs as far as I reasonably can; are rogue apps causing problems or is the OS too easy to trip up?

If you search http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list for "media battery," you see a lot of bug reports about the problem.

The Google Android team doesn't seem to care about these problems.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=11731#c5

"I'm only posting this here for my own amusement. My track record with Android bug reports is that Google ignores them for 2 years and then closes them without taking any corrective action. Good luck everyone."

Here's a typical bug report from mid-2011, that is still labeled new and unassigned:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=18115

4.1.2 has the os drain:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38720

Going into 4.2, how do we track these issues and see if they are getting fixed? I'm not a dev... The only way we can see the 4.2 source and commits is to clone the repo using git? Is there a friendly web interact through which we can see the changes?

Do we wait until 4.2 is released and see what defects are reported on the issue tracker?

Please don't let this be a typical battery life sucks thread, where people will

1) complain that they also have bad battery life

2) complaint that they have great battery life and don't see these problems

3) suggest debugging these problems with CPU SPY, BetterBatteryStats, etc

4) suggest fixing these problems with .nomedia

I want to know how we as users can track what Google is doing or has done to fix these problems in 4.2, so we, as Android devotees, can have faith in migrating to those devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Any Tom, ****, or Harry can post issues. Most of the time they don't have the technical knowledge to even know what a bug is. Don't confuse Google not caring vs. Google not willing to accept a ticket caused by something out of their control.

As for your case, you have a Verizon Nexus. They ALL suck on battery compared to other devices.

You say you don't want this to devolve into a typical battery thread but it will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
no lte in the nexus 4, sounds like they chased off the battery sucker to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
I'd you're using your phone as a laptop, it's time to buy a laptop. Otherwise, the turn if syncing for things you use once a day. Actively using data (especially over LTE) with a large screen burns battery on any device. If you are burning battery in your pocket, you either need to sync less or identify the rogue app that is doing the work. And Google does use the bug reports to make improvements. A recent bug in Chrome removed names from the shortcuts in the bookmarks bar and it was fixed within a week. Android rakes longer due to the wide spectrum of devices and overall update process. Bugs in an OS are a different beast than bugs in a browser.

From the sounds of things, you will have battery issues on any device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dynamicpda:
Go by the evidence. The Media Server / Scanner drain problem still exists in 4.1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] starnostar:
Complaining about battery life on an LTE device is like dropping a 600HP engine in your car and complaining about your gas mileage going down.

So lets say an LTE phone has an enormous battery in it, this might give you "respectable" battery life... but take that same huge battery and put it in a GSM phone and watch the battery life go from "respectable" to "incredible".

If battery life is what you need... you might consider going GSM. With heavy use I usually end up at about 30-40% at the end of the day...

Of course, as stated above, the media scanner bug is still there... but from my experience, LTE is the biggest "battery vampire" by a landslide.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
I can't wait to see how many "battery life sucks on N4" threads are created.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackster248:
Oh it's coming... It's coming... Best believe it! Lol.

Honestly, it's just the way it is so ppl need to get over it. If they buy the Nexus and complain about the non-removable battery, then they should have gotten a different phone instead. Like an S3.

i thought that i would be complaining about the non removable battery in my nexus 7, but it doesnt bother me anymore :)

Bam

That's 4 days of actual on time (I turn it off at night, ~15 hours a day). That's closing in on what my old Nokia and Sony feature phones clocked in at.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cmoore0965:
First, turning it off at night, makes your "4 days" statement entirely false, automatically. Second, 1 hour 20 minutes screen on time is terrible, even for a known battery sucker like the gnex. Third, the only thing might slightly warrant a pardon for that screen on time, would be the fact that you did get over 2 days on it, if not for Fourth (and finally) the fact that your phone clearly shows that your didn't use it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
4 days of my use, where is there false information? Still on the same charge, 1 hour 41 mins now. 61 hours with real world use is not bad, especially since despite you seemingly knowing how I use my phone, I was using it for texting, a few calls, I used google maps, updated some stuff and other random crap. A lot can be done in an hour and a half.

And finally, the entire point of this thread is the android process sucking up battery, which is why I posted a picture showing the contrary. How about you find something credible to ***** about.

Maybe if you stop using that ugly, bloated, stupid ROM your Android process usage will be reduced.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnwarShah55:
I recently bought a Xperia Sola . I unlocked it's bootloader and rooted it with a kernel with CWM recovery. After doing some installation of apps, i did a nandroid backup in CWM and when I rebooted, it stuck in boot loop (Sony Logo). :crying: . I tried to recover from earlier backups but all of those given me md5sum mismatch! error.

I am new to these things and I searched and read here and there. I found that, I have to flash a new ROM by going to CWM recovery. (I can still boot to the recovery). I searched for the Sony stock ROM but haven't find them. My Firmware was 6.0.B.1.184 and I think, it is Great Britain ROM. It has Bengali language though (also chinese input support).

I am a little bit confused about the ROM's also. All think, it contains the set of Applications. My android version was 2.3.7.

I would be glad if you can give me a link to stock 6.0.B.1.184 ROM. Also I don't want to upgrade my Android to IceCreamSandwitch (ICS probably). I have also know that, I have to use flashtool. Is there any alternative of flashtool? probably, CWM can do the job.

Note: I and my brother bought the same mobile set. Can I create a backup of his ROM and use it to flash?

I hope, I will receive a quick response.

Thanks for your helps.

#EDIT:

I have 3 question:

1. If I flash an ICS ROM, will it work with the existing Kernel which is I think GB kernel?

2. Does it matter if I flash a firmware/ROM with other region such as India (I'm in Bangladesh)? Also How could I verify which region My Sola is from?

3. I found a 184 ROM from xperiadev.wordpress.com/flashing/xperia-ftf-firmwares/ for my Sola, but it is from Central Europe? Will it create any problem?

[HTC One S] DrOfLife:
Hey guys,

Normally I would want to charge overnight, because the time other than my sleep is when my phone is near a charger or when it's not in use hahahaha :) . But, I don't want to charge it a lot more than it should be charged, in fear of destroying the battery (I'm planning on holding onto this phone for quite a while). So I have two questions coming from this...

1. What ways do you guys charge your phone that suits you?

2. Any ideas what could be a good way to charge my phone at night without overcharging it? I've seen some adaptors that have "30min, 60min, 4hr different charge timers" but I'm not sure if those are the way to go.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks
[HTC One S] beats4x:
I have had the phone since it was released and always charged over night. With the right settings (on a custom rom) I still get good battery life from the phone. Lasts through the day with light to moderate use
[HTC One S] Aydthird:
I think the charge stops once it's full. At least I do recall reading that somewhere when I did all my studies on the phone
[HTC One S] beats4x:
As long as you're charging using AC you're all good. The current will pass back out.

I charge my phone overnight, and listen to streaming music on my Google Play Music player for 10 hours while at work, get home and I still have 35-40% battery. Thats with the occasional Facebook check, and Google Now running all day as well.

PokerBox is a simple but addictive draw video poker which simulates the games you found in casinos. There are two game modes:

practice mode : the app can be used as a video poker trainer.

play mode: play the game with a limited amount of coins (exactly as in the real world). This mode is even more challenging as there are more global leader-boards available together with some rather unique achievements which make the game even more enjoyable.

Each day you play the game you will receive a small sum of coins as a reward, and there are also few optional actions which offer additional rewards.

You can compete with your friends or with players from all over the world. Unique achievements and global leader boards make the game more interesting.

Nope. When I click on show all folders there's no way to see sub folders in the inbox. I have half a dozen client folders in my inbox, and the server sorts new mail into them. The crappy part is I can see them when I go into the folder settings....

Yes it does work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] d.cortez:
if you haven't done so already, tap the sub-folder you want to sync and use Menu-Sync options to set the sync options; e.g., Peak, Off-peak and Period to Sync Email. it's true they won't appear in your top level inbox, but you should be notified via the notification window. that's the way it works for me. from the notification window, you click the email and it will take you to the folder. i use this setup on my Junk E-Mail folder due to our company's strict filtering process. hope this helps!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:
So I get terrible battery life on GB, ICS, an JB compared to my Nexus One.

Tried almost every ROM + Kernel combo now and no use.

Turned off every battery draining thing (Data, Wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS, No widgets, No fancy wallpaper) and yet my battery goes down like 20% just being in my pocket for an hour to two hours.

In that same time I would lose at most 10% on my Nexus One.

Could it be that I have a bad radio? Do you guys who seem to get awesome battery life have a newer radio than I do?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revamper:
Have you turned off the google auto-sync? You can do so from the power widget.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:

Is 9% battery loss in 45 minutes okay with all those things off and it just being in my pocket?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
Yes, there are many things that can adversely affect battery life, and radios are on of them. You can try to flash a compatible radio, but make sure you have a backup. Also, all radios eat battery when they're in bad signal (the phone uses a lot more power amplifying the signal).

BUT

Battery drain can be caused by many things. So while it wouldn't hurt to flash a new radio, you should still monitor the drain with betterbatterystats
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdwxrd:
Assuming the OP didn't switch on '2G only' in the settings I'd be inclined to suggest that flaky 3G signal is the cause of his battery drain. I'm on the newest radio (XXKI1) and whenever I'm in an area with poor 3G coverage (the inside of my house, for example) I often fall prey to horrible wakelocks. Switching to 2G only (plus WiFi for data) solves the issue.

Is there any way to get around the internet sharing restriction on AT&T? My data plan doesn't allow tethering but my Android phones with custom ROMs don't care. Is there any way around this? My old Samsung WP7 phones which were hackable could be forced to allow it using provxml and registry editing, but those aren't available for the 920.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
no. you will have to flash to a non-att rom which is not necessary easy and possibly risk brick your phone.
[Nokia Lumia 920] petard:
Has anyone tried this yet then? Maybe the European ROM? I just got the phone yesterday so I have two weeks to return or exchange it if it gets bricked. I'm not going to move to a family share plan and pay $50/month more.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
There is a thread here that someone tried to flash a different ROM and got bricked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tcozman:
Where is this thread? I can't seem to find what the individual did to cause a brick. I would be very interested to know.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Just search it. It is here. He flashed a ROM not for his specific model of 920 (there are 3 different models for L920) and bricked the phone, If you like to flash custom ROMs and hacking phones, Windows Phone is the wrong choice. You should have stuck with Android phones.
[Nokia Lumia 920] petard:
I don't care about all that, all I want to do is tether with my phone. The rest is fine the way it is. I just don't want to go to a family share plan because it will be MUCH more expensive than what I'm currently paying.

I hope someone finds an exploit in WP8 that lets us have registry access then I can disable this stupid check. I don't see how this **** is legal.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Good luck with that. Check out the Lumia 900 forum. Those ppl are still waiting for this so called registry hack ever since that phone was released early 2012.

Yeah if this doesn't come soon then I may have to go back to my Android Galaxy Note as my primary phone. Windows Phone STILL doesn't let me tether or have a good google talk client. Two simple things.

Google doesn't like Mircosoft. As simple as that. So, if Google's service is important to you, you should stay with Android. There is no official Google Maps, Google Voice, Google Talk. On the plus side, there will be new Skype client (totally redesigned) coming soon to WP8.
