[HTC One X+] MohamadKarbi:
Greetings,

Sometimes, I feel most people won't upgrade from HOX to HOX+ as they are almost the same. Do you think this might affect the future updates & development for this phone either from HTC or from developers?
[HTC One X+] mgymnop:
The Hox+ will probably get the JB 4.2 update and that's it. HTC will bring out a new phone in Spring and they will forget all other phones. The Hox probably won't even get the 4.2 update. If you want each and every update and a large developer crowd buy a Nexus device. The HOX+ will be a niche product with different versions for Europe and the US but at least it will come with Jellybean already.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noisetty13:
Hi I have a Nexus 7 and up to lately have been really pleased with it. All of a sudden the battery has been dying on me at around 30%. Screen just goes black with no warning and completely shuts down. When I put it on charge and start it up again it shows battery at 0% but recharging from say 30%!!! I have done a factory reset at 95% charged and still no different. Tried using a different charger and this time the battery kept peaking showing 50% when started using it and then went up to 54%, this happened twice and then died at 40%; Shows up very clearly on the battery graph too. I have noticed a lot of people have been complaining about this since the recent update 4.1.2. Have called carphonewarehouse and they say to send it back but if it is an update that is causing the problem surely a replacement will have the same problem. I will also have to send it back to UK as live in France and purchased in UK so seems a lot of hassle if going to have the same problem again. Would be very grateful for any help and advice. Thanks in advance;
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
I bought one smartpad850 and I noticed with surprise that the notification bar when viewing videos and photos disappear by itself and then reappears when you press the display.

Why is not this option in our TAB Asus TF700?

To do this use GMD but it does not automatically but I have to manually intervene.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
ASUS' decision. GMD can hide it, but on restoration of the status bar the original default wallpaper will be put back. Not an option for me, drives me insane. I do not find the bar all that irritating for what I do normally...
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
Since a decision by Asus can not be disabled?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I didn't say that. Your question was why it was not an option. Answer: ASUS' decision.

Elaborating: a decision by ASUS that is embedded in the framework is not that easy to reverse (many people are annoyed by the persistent notifications of mounted storage -- have you seen a solution to that "issue"? Or the notification telling us to "Use keyboard to type words" -- no sh**, Sherlock!). You could, of course, give it a shot at fixing this yourself. ;) I think the best (and, currently, essentially the only) solution to this 'problem' is hopping over to a AOSP/AOKP/CM-based mod, although you will lose out many other things in the process. That's a much more open platform with a lot of tweaks available out ot the box.

If you want to educate yourself and give it a try, you would have a pretty much perfect base to work with: the freshy-abandoned-but-available-for-pick-up CleanROM 2.4 base. Take a look at the notifications while you're at it. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MarkAndroid:
The CleanROM has the bar automatically hidden?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Nope, none of the stock-based ROMs can do that. As I said, only AOSP/AOKP/CM for you.
[Nexus 7 General] Dudditz:
Wondering if any of you guys could help me out here?

By the way, if this is the wrong section for this, apologies and feel free to move?

Nexus 7, 16gb, rooted with stock 4.1.2. I have not edited the build.prop, still using the 4.1.2 Keyboard, Gmail etc.

So, nothing changed other than unlocked/rooted.

I have superSU pro and have 'Survival Mode' enabled, which is basically and OTA Rootkeeper (I am sure you already know this...)

When we got the OTA to 4.1.2, it worked no problem, survival mode worked and I kept root and custom recovery.

So this morning I get a notification to upgrade to 4.2, which I done. It restarted, and installed with no errors etc, then comes the Google screen with the unlocked padlock... and it stayed this way for an hour, so I am assuming it is borked?

I restarted it, same again, so rebooted into the bootlaoder menu. Going into recovery shows the android dude on his back, red triangle ! etc, so I gather my custom recovery is gone.

So the question is, where to go from here, and is there a walkthrough I can use to resuce this (I am techy enough minded, but given the state it is in, loathed to make it worse down to sheer stupidity)?

Any help would be much appreciated guys.

BTW - I used Wugs Toolkit to root, so that is all set up with drivers etc, can that be used now to recover?

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hell_lock:
No need of jig if soft brick.

@OP can u see anything on ur phone/?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] nikufellow:
I said so because only soft bricks can be solved by jig if its hard then no use of jig .there are cases of soft bricks which i myself have encountered many a times where you cannot go into dl mode by 3 button combo in that case jig helps
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] hell_lock:
Soft brick means that one of ur recoveries are working. They dont need a jig. It is made for a hard brick when none of the recoveries are working so what a jig actually does is that it forces your phone to get into the odin mode so that u can flash a firmware.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] nikufellow:
Okay thanks what i thought of soft bricks was entirely different that is why i said so

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strawmetal:
Gingerbread on HTC Desire Z doesn't have an exploitable method to root the phone. So the first thing we need to do downgrade the phone to Froyo (2.2). After that you will be able to root your phone permanently and also unlock your boot-loader allowing you to install any custom rom for your device.

1. Go to this guide. Follow it(Use the PDF - its easier).

2. Pick a rom from this forum.

3. Enjoy the best side of android. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Battery life is very good compared to the previous releases. I ran for forty minutes with Bluetooth turned on while listening to tune in radio and using endomondo app. Google now turned on. I lost fifteen percent compared to losing 35% with similar usage. Very satisfied.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Why would you make a thread linking to a post you made in another thread?

Bit unnecessary. To answer the question it's too early for me to thoroughly test battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Bump
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkadesi:
thats not fantastic at all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
I would wait for at least 2 complete battery cycles to make a thread like this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rice923:
Ditto. My phone ran like a champ on a freshly flashed ROM. Then my phone realized it was born as a Verizon-Nexus mutt and had a psychological breakdown to the point of 1.75 hours of on-screen time the day after.

Twas a sad day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cikasfm:
I'm reading my work email over the exchange service account. After upgrde to 4.2 the exchange service process eats my whole battery so I can't tell about any improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] modgadgets:
True
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TSGM:
When it comes to battery life (in general, though especially true with this newest release), it's crazy how many divergent opinions you get. Some people claim to get amazing battery life (exactly what quantifies for amazing?) and some people claim the battery life is crap. This is just to remind you that unless you have a good way of measuring battery life, your measurements can be plus/minus hour(s). Someone who just leaves their phone on a black screen with no wi-fi and cell may get 10 hours of screen-on time. Someone who is watching videos with cell/wi-fi might only get 2 hours of screen-on time.

In the future, I can make two recommendations:

Always report a complete cycle (from 100% to close to 0%). This is because the battery does not discharge at a constant rate.

Always report screen on time

Average for GNexus in previous builds was 2-4 hours. I've no idea about the plus/minus, but they tend not to be under 2 and over 4 with moderate usage. I think an average of 3-3.5 hours is what most people are happy to report.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
And that is really sad because my old atrix used to get over 8 hours on Wi-Fi with over twelve hours of standby time. I wish they would make this phone but with a smaller screen size. The technology used on this phone is not battery efficient at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squidder:
This tells us nothing....u don't show ur screen on time and uve been charging off and on..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarkLI88:
Battery life in sleep mode is worse for me. I am losing 3% an hour with the screen off, I used to lose only 3% total overnight with the screen off not per hour. I tested this over the last 4 hours only waking the tablet up long enough to check the battery level and it has gone down by 3% each time. Nothing has changed with any apps or setting since I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2. I got concerned when I noticed this morning that my battery was over 15% less then when I went to sleep. Anyone else notice this?

50% left 23h 11m on baterry. wifi and location on all the time and 10% wasted on need for speed most wanted also. brightnes at 80% aprox. im very pleased with the baterry really maybe becouse the phone is relatively brand new and the battery still very fresh allways charging with care after discharge not on and off the charger all the time
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
yeah using the 4.2 factory image with trinity a4 and getting great battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike.b93:
Actually charging your phone every now and then is better than trying to stay on one charge and plug it only in when it's almost empty. Don't let your battery run under 30% because this is bad for it. But it won't hurt if it's below that one or twice a week.

That's what I read about batteries xD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aliensk:
i never let it below 15 but maybe ur right i didnt know that. i have also an acer iconia for 1 year and i always charge at 15 to the full and till now the battery hasnt degraded at all everything is perfect. here is littel easier in the gnex becouse when it will get bad ill simply change for a new battery or better upgrade to the next nexus (the one after this lg one) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yashbansal:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] automaddux:
I was on the fence at first with the new update. I recently flashed stock images from the Verizon 4.1.2 update and decided to keep it stock because I've had problems with any custom ROM from day one. (I bought mine the day it launched on Verizon) No matter which one it is I seem to have problems with basic system functions like network/Wifi strength or reliability, or something might be broken with the bluetooth with another ROM. With Stock it seemed that these problems were kept to a minimal and I don't remember noticing any lag. I've been sitting here for the past couple hours trying to finish a book I bought and after a while I noticed that my battery hasn't decreased like I thought it would. I've got about 20% left with almost 8 hours and about 2 1/2 hours screen on time. this is enough to keep me on this update for a while at least until something better comes along.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
It's too hard to quantify the battery life of a mobile phone that performs so many functions now-a-days. There are so many different things to skew the life of the battery it's not even funny - signal strength, was GPS used at all?, wifi (and the speed of the network as well), apps used/installed, how much syncing is going on?.. to name a few.

What I would like to see is along with battery statitistics that people report are: average cellular signal, average wifi signal, data sent/received over the networks, how many accounts are being synced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tuk1maar:
I know by my usage that under Android 4.1.X that my screen uptime was at best around 2 hours 10-30 minutes.... I used the lowest possible brightness and had it at 1.2Ghz AND undervolted!

With Android 4.2 I get easily screen uptimes of 3 hour 30 minutes with not having my brightness at the minimum all the time. I had my brightness yesterday all the way to the minimum and had an screen uptime of 4 hours and 18 minutes with 4% battery left.

Pretty ridicilous!! On my way to the university I use my mobile data (3.5G all the way!!) I use that data for around 4 hours a day. The rest of the day I use WiFi.

Today I used my camera function ALOT and had my brightness way up and only sometimes had it at minimum. Got a screen uptime of 3 hours 4 minutes with 32% battery left...

They really made the battery life ALOT better than it has ever been on my Galaxy Nexus (including stock and custom roms/kernels!!!)

This stock Android 4.2 feels alot better than any 4.1.2 rom with Franco kernel (no offense to Sir Franco and rom makers!!!) Just can't wait till the developers get their hands on Android 4.2 full source to enhance it even more like they always do :)

I must admit that after 2 hours of navigation I was quote surprised about how much juice was left over. Otherwise the batterylife doesn't seem to be much better IMHO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androo45:
Battery life sucks big time, on 4.2 even harder than 4.1.2.

On ICS I was getting a good day standby, 3h to 4h screen-on, depending on wifi/3g usage. Wifi only got me back then a fantastic 5h sometimes.

Ever since Jelly Bean, I struggle to get more than 3h screen on. And with 4.2 I get 2.5h screen-on max.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarat_mit:
Hi Guys.. Im using Samsung Galaxy ACE Rightnow..

I hve planed to move-on & YES to Either Galaxy S II (OR) Galaxy Nexus..

The choice i hve is Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S2 and HTC One S. and the choice is due to my budget.

i know the NEXUS 4 has launched...but as for the news i heard.. LG gona either sell it for above 30k or don't launch it India as samsung did..

The problem i found in getting the Gnex is that,

1. its not yet been officially launched in the India, so no HW & Software warranty.

2. Prob in the GSM Network Getting Locked.

3. lower spec compared to the S2.

My cousin has jus bought GNEX frm ebay las month, n a week before his gsm module got locked while he try to update to 4.1.2..he says like its asking for " SIM Netwrok unlock Pin ".

The cons i hve with the S2 is ..

1. Poor design.

2. No quick android update... the current update of Android is 4.2 & still s2 got just the ICS. Dono y samsung guys forgot their device after selling them..

3. Absence of dedicated notification light.

So pls do help me buying a correct device...

Either GO for the nexus Device or the Samsung galaxy S II....

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sstiwari:
It is strange that ur cousin got network locked Galaxy Nexus. Normally the ones that sell on ebay are factory unlocked.

I and several of my friends have GNex for past seix months and its like no issues at all since 4.1.1. If only network unlock is an issue you can buy it from reputed ebay vendor, see his feedback. As regards warranty, I have the serve pro thing but I do not know how would it benefit me if the phone develops some hardware snag.

you can get Nexus 4 16GB from shopyourworld.com for about 26k, agains warranty would be an issue.

But in any case S2 stands no where even miles close to G Nex. Galaxy Nexus is "Galaxy Nexus - sheer beauty"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Edrill:
1) I've yet to come across anyone with any really serious hardware problems with the Galaxy Nexus. From what I've read around, there are people who can and do repair hardware faults with the Nexus. Just have to look for them, I suppose. And software-wise, it's almost unbrickable!

2) Again, never seen this issue either. I got my Nexus running 4.0.4, upgraded to 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and now to 4.2 without any issues whatsoever. Just make sure you're buying a factory unlocked piece and you're all set.

3) What lower spec?! Apart from the camera and the microSD card slot, the SII has nothing on the Nexus! The Nexus even has a bigger screen than the SII. And add to that the fact that the Nexus already has 4.2, which the SII will take time to get, and definitely not officially, I'd think the Nexus would be a no-brainer!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
gnex has a much much better screen at 720x1080p where as s2 is 480x800p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarat_mit:
Ya as u said he didn't hve the any issue untill he was in the 4.1.1 only wen he tried to move from the 4.1.2 it asked for network un-lock pin..

So can u guys tell me how to make sure its genuine Factory unlocked...

do i hve to look through the build no or something like that..coz i hope there's

refundable in not satisfied in ebay...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rrohanjs:
software wise dont worry at all since it is a nexus, i assume anyways you will root it ( main reason to get a nexus i presume ) so when you are rooted you will unlocked worldwide so not a problem at all

still if you want to check the phone then the best you can do is make few calls and check if everything is working, other than that i cant think of anything

Atlas i hve made up my mind to buy the Nexus and Nexus alone...:D

While searching on EBay i found out a ebay seller who lives in my hometown...And he gives software + Hardware support or warranty dono wat he will provide, only if bought if bought around my home town.

But He has only the chic white version and not the black one...:(

So guys pls tell me some solution..COz i really Love the black one.

And when i went to his shop he also told me that i can get it in person if i pay the cash in hand...

I'm really thinking of this coz i haven't purchased anything on ebay.in.. i'm also afraid if bought in person i couldn't hve a ebay Warranty.. So pls do suggest me which is best.... buying in ebay with ebay Warranty or buy it in person..... ?

And when he showed me a Gnex unit it was sealed with a small samsung sticker with bar-codes it it...Is that it...? is that how i wana confirm the unit is factory unlocked or hve to do check some other thing before buying it..and i also said that my cousin's device got locked only when jumping frm 4.1.2 to 4.2 and not b4.. he said he wasn't came across such thing if will happen to the device i purchase he will provide me with unlock codes...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:

I do owe a galaxy nexus which I bought from US Google play store so I have a takju device and I have always got updates quickly

No problem with that because its of course unlocked

But the only problem with gnexus is it gets way too hot during charging if I keep data packets on or play games for 10 -15 minutes (sometime even crosses 48 degree Celsius Mark)and I am not alone which has got this prob

My cousin has got one from a store in Jaipur and he also has got this overheating prob while charging

I have googled this topic and found that this is a common problem with Gnexus

And this overheating occurs only when I am using my cell while charging

I am on stock but will now consider changing my kernel to under volt my nexus

Hope this will solve this over heating issue during charging

BTW any one with same problem of overheating while charging?

Its a common issue with all multi core devices! While charging and surfing or playing games simultaneously, your device is bound to get hot.
