I have always thought Gemini App Manager was more bang than people knew... The function I used it for was to set app auto runs.. This app sets auto runs on boot and what activities give user apps permission to run on events such as phone calls or waking your screen. Back when I had a slow phone I used this and it greatly reduced lag on boot. EVERY app auto runs when your phone is first powered on.. I decided i only want my most used apps to run on boot and if I want anything else I will do so myself.

I cant be the only one that has found a liking in an app that might have been over seen..

One of you millions of XDA users and your infinite wisdom post your experience!!!!

I started running into some battery issues earlier today. I was on AOKP without any issues and one day the battery just started draining very fast. I went from about 50% to 15% in a matter of an hour. That night I slept with my phone charging and it did to get charged passd 54%. And it's charging very slow too. I thought it might be the ROM so I flashed Slim Bean. But it is not heling at all.

Anyone have anything similar going on?

What can I do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Try calibrating the battery and go like 2-3 charge to discharge and see what its like afterwards
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Will do. I'll post back
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Yea it takes a few rundowns to get into the sweet spot, I thought I was getting horrible battery life till someone suggested that to me now I get about 32-33 hrs on a charge. Which I think is about prefect, I don't game on it I just use everything else all the time. I have ps3, xbox360 & psp for gaming
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Well it's been charging for about 6 hours now and it won't get past 54%
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
I let it charge all night and when I woke up it was finally at 100%. I left for class and unplugged my phone at 7:40. 20 minutes later it was down to 47%. Then another 2 hours later, it was at 11%. Obviously it is draining far too fast. Will AT&T replace my battery? Or does it look like I'm gonna have to buy a new one?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GladdBag:
What I normally do is charge it to 100% then boot into recovery and wipe battery stats. Reboot and don't unplug the phone until it again says that the battery is full. Then run with it and see if it helps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
Go ask them I don't see why they wouldn't replace the battery, it does sound like its shot that kind of drain isn't normal at all
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TGdroid:
I had the same issues with not getting to 100%. Seems like leaving it on the charger for another couple hours (overnight) got it there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
So I went to the AT&T service shop yesterday and she took my battery and put it in a different Galaxy S III and it showed the battery was charged 97%. In my phone, it showed 23%. She told me that it had somthing to do with my phone being rooted. She said the software on my phone was being "tricked" into believing that the battery is a lot less full than it actually is. She told me to unroot my phone and flash it back to stock. So I did that yesterday and it is still no better. I don't know what to try.

Wiping battery stats doesn't help battery life... Something i learned a long time ago with my X10
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Here's a screenshot of my battery stats. Does Android System usually take up this much battery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
My Android system is almost always under 15%. Seeing it that high is alarming. I assume you've tried full wiping and changing ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Yep. I must've flashed my phone to stock at least 10 times now. Ive tried rooting and Unrooting, clearing my flash counter, I really don't know what else to do.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Thought I'd try installing CM10 just to see if there would be any difference. Screen Brightness shows up as my highest percentage on the battery usage and Android System is much lower on the list, but the battery is still not charging or discharging correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ObiWanJacoby:
I would unroot and take everything back to stock, then go back to the AT&T store you went to before and show another service rep that the phone is messed up and see if they give you another one.

Good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrb1946:
Looks like this is my next course of action. Thanks for your help and I'll post back with whatever happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] themadproducer:
mrb1946,

Even though your S3 is reporting percentage values as you stated....the PHYSICAL battery did not drain from a real 100% to a real 47% in 20 minutes. It can't actually physically drain that fast. It would be on FIRE! ;) So, either the calibration of the rom/software or the battery itself somehow messed up.

Also, during that time...was the battery/S3 HOT? That physical evidence would account for some of the drain if it's coming from a rogue app or misbehaving rom component. Did you post a battery drain graph? And were you monitoring the cpu activity during these high drain periods? I mean...periodic checks to see if your CPU is stuck on HIGH freq and if you have any wakelocks shown under the battery graph.

Sounds like a rouge app or from flashing to AOKP without doing a full wipe may have cause a problem.

In the future when flashing a ROM make sure to wipe everything! Dalvik cache, system, cache, formant system. To make sure to get rid of anything that can cause issues like these.

Hey all.

After installing 4.2 on my N7, I have noticed two things that annoy me.

1. The notification bar as well as the settings bar can be pulled down infinitely, very ugly.

2. In root folder there are several folders that lead to the sdcard: 'sdcard' and the folders 'storage-emulated' and 'storage-sdcard0'. Why is that, and can I get rid of the storage folder?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robin2:
Can anyone at least confirm?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
1. That's not a question, it's an opinion ;)

2. /storage existed before 4.2, /sdcard is a symlink. Don't remove them. Some changes were made to where user data is stored to support multiple users; each user on a device has his or her own set of accounts, apps, system settings, files, and any other user-associated data..

/data/media/0

Needs root to access that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] No_Nickname90:
The primary user is like the Admin of the tablet. Every other user is like a standard user. You DON'T want a standard user to be able to access your files.

If you want files to be shared across multiple accounts, there are folders with sdcard\(folders) In here you will see folders like pictures and media. These folders are public and are shared across accounts.

Folders in sdcard\0\(folders). These folders will have the same thing, pictures and media. These folders are unique to the '0' user, which is you. As a primary user you can view all the other folders of other users, but other users CANNOT and SHOULD NOT be able to view your folders.

Like I said, you have public folders and private folders. The public folders are in sdcard\(folders)

The ones in (parenthesis) isn't an actual folder. I'm just stating how there are folders here. So don't look for a folder called "folders". LoL!!

I also want to know how to have common folders sharing between different users but I think your answer is definitely WRONG.

I have Nexus 7 without rooting, users can ONLY access files created by themselves, no matter in the/storage/emulated folder or /sdcard folder. When plug into computer (I am using Windows), the files displayed in Windows are also determined by which user are you currently login in Nexus 7...

I don't see anyway to have a common folder to share media files now...

Bwahahahahahahaaa!! You all are right. Turns out I had the same picture in both accountS. Sorry. I noticed that the primary has folders in mnt\sdcard and in mnt\sdcard\0 but other users only have mnt\sdcard. Or maybe it's only me with mnt\sdcard\0. I feel bad now. Sorry.

My name confusion is coming from mnt\sdcard how and mnt\sdcard\0

It seemed that the 0 folder was unique to the user and the folders in sdcard were shared.

What if you make a folder in system? Will you be able to share then? *goes try*

On my lock screen I have it show weather and news (my device is protected by a password). The weather is wrong (still shows a moon), and the news doesn't update unless I hit refresh. Anyway to get this stuff to refresh occasionally on its own???

The gallery loads VERRRRRY VERRRRRY slow. I had to download Gallery ICS to use it, because the built in one seemed unusable.

I noticed the refresh problem on my tablet as well, but just wondering if you guys had suggestions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Granna:
I am not familiar with your gallery issue but you can set your lock screen ticker to refresh at 3, 6, 12 hours with the default at none (manual refresh), just go into your lock screen settings to change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wish777:
My gallery is blazing fast..I only have about 100 pictures though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] FromToronto:
I have over 200+ pics on my sd card and the gallery runs smooth, without issues.

Regarding weather/news, I noticed mine wasn't updating until I checked the lock screen settings and noticed it was set not to sync - I changed it to sync every 3 hrs and how it works perfectly ;)

---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 PM ----------

Are your pics on SD card or is it on the phone's memory? Does it run smoothly after pictures load?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] drksilenc:
question what class of sd card are you using and no not the size. is it a class 2 sd card? if so there is your problem. also weather needs to be set to the refresh interval you have set but it usually updates whenever you unlock your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lazy012:
I feel the same way about both your problems although the first one doesnt bother me as much

The gallery loading extremely slowing is an issue although Im not sure if it something to do with me rooting/installing a rom on this one. I installed the rom pretty much as soon as I got home. I have over 300+ pix I transfered from my computer and it takes a good 20-30sec for everything to load

up on the initial screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Err0xx:
I have 9600 photos on a 64gb sd card and about another 2000 photos in Google+ that load and my gallery is *****ing fast. Absolutely no load/render lag whatsoever.

No idea about the other thing bc I don't use it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mikefly562:
For slow loading....it could be your microSD card...there are Class 2,4,6, and 10, with 2 being the slowest, 10 being the fastest. If I were you, I'd get a Class 10 card...I have 7200 photos on my PNY 32 GB Class 10 card, and all the photos load instantly. I had a class 2 microSD card at one point on a device, and it took 10-15 minutes to load 3000 pictures. In this day and age, Class 10 cards are fairly affordable. I got mine at Staples for $50 32GB...although online it may be cheaper....Good Luck!

Hi the girlfriend has well and truely messed up her phone so any help anyone could give would help.

Ok first off she has a htc sensation hboot 1.27 not sure if it's gb or ics but it's 3.32 so would expect it to be ics.

Is stuck s-on not rooted and had USB disabled before the issue started.

Ok the thing is its stuck at the hboot screen I can get to fastboot (USB and ac). But that's as far as it goes.

It's a stock Vodafone rom and is CID locked to uk voda.

I can't access it with adb believe me I've tried or controlbear.

I have located the correct ruu to try and reflash the phone but I get error 170 or 171 USB errors.

So I tried extracting the rom and loading it via the sd which it finds checks and then goes back to the hboot screen without any

Error message so I'm stumped as to what to do now.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help
[HTC Sensation] paradox1985:

no ..read the guide again ..the process doesn't require ADB ..you just need fastboot ..so read it again .try the method ..if you still facing problems come back here :)

give me ..the exact error you are getting i can guess the reason better :)

as for the fails ..i assume it is "REMOTE NOT ALLOWED" ..which happens because you have LOCKED bootloader and thus you need to unlock the bootloader first

Stil no joy can't get the unlock.bin to take. Will continue to fidle with it but have bought her a st27i for now to keep the lady happy lol

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mtucker:
The Galaxy Note 2 comes with a 2 Amp AC adapter/charger so I was curious to compare the charging capability of the stock charger to other chargers that I already own. I cut open a USB to uUSB cord and used a current meter to see how much 5V current was flowing from the charger into the phone. These results are only good for a Galaxy Note 2. Other phones will draw a different about of current (probably lower). Details of the setup can be found far below.

The conditions were:

Battery level = 48%

Voltage was measured on the cable about four inches from the phone

Only the charger was changed between tests (used the exact same cable/setup for each test).

The results explain why the Note 2 charges so fast compared to the original Note that I had. Something to keep in mind with dual port chargers...... when I had the two dual port car chargers apart modifying them (the D+ and D- setup so my Note 1 would recognize it as a dedicated charger), I noticed that both chargers used a single 5V regulator and simply ran the power for the two USB ports in parallel. That means that although they say it is a dual 1A charger it could be used as a single 2A charger. I can't say every dual charger is setup that way, but it seems unlikely they would spend the $$ on two different regulator circuits.

Details:

The cable is about three feet long. I cut the cable about four inches from the uUSB connector (where the phone connects). I soldered the ground, data +, and data - wires back together and just left the 5V red wire open so I could insert a current meter (used a Fluke 189 on the 10A mode).

For most people, it is probably best to just buy a car charger that will support 2A for Android. Note that many chargers are setup (their D+ and D- pins) for Apple so you may not get full charging current. That may take a little digging around to see what others have found.
