Im using the stock calendar app that comes with the S3. Im running Sonic GS3 rom. my google syncs just fine with it. Before i flashed tho, running stock, i had the same issue you are having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] barberboy420:
Looks like I'll give sonic a once over then flash it thanks man!

GSIII Rooted Stock #SPURNATION
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jan Michael:
Awesome! you will not be disappointed! I also went ahead and double checked it last night to make sure it works. I made an apt on my laptop using Google calendar, and as long as you sync your gmail on your S3, the calendar item will pop up on your phone within seconds if not minutes. if it doesn't show, while in your calendar just hit menu, and then sync. It should pop up on the date. hope this makes sense.

Thanks man, I'm dl thru bit torrent now tethered from my GSIII, looks like it's gonna be a cpl hrs oh well I'm at work guess I gotta wait

Hi xda!

Could anyone answer me, is it possible to deodex stock 2.3 ruu from HTC and will it fit then any hboot with bigger storage on /data partition? And why sense stoc hboot have so much storage on cache?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brac20:
My fiancée's Nexus was sent to the Three UK repair centre as it needed a new charging port. I am certain that it had received the 4.1.2 update before going off.

It is now on 4.1.1 and not finding anything when I search for updates. I've tried the service framework trick. She doesn't really want to root. Is this something anyone else has come across?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
1) you more than likely do not have the yakju image, but some other variant

2) you do not need root to flash the stock images

3) read the stickies in this forum on how to do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Brac20:
Thanks I'll take a look around and see what I can do
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetguy35:
I just got a nexus 7 and previously was using an HP touchpad running cm9. When I signed in my gmail account in the setup on the nexus 7, apps from my touchpad started automatically downloading on the nexus 7. I didn't even know that was possible. My question is whether my data for the apps will be synced as well? For instance, will levels that I completed in games also be completed on the nexus 7?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidan Pornrage:
dunno but everytime i used an android with google account this stupid backup messed up a lot of the apps and took forever to complete if it not failed in the middle.

better turn it off and transfer apps and data with titanium backup or do the same manually with terminal and saved .apk
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aftablonely786:
Data won't b transferred...

For that u hav to use titanium backup, rom toolbox or similar apps...

I think first ask for this :

a. Are you on Gingerbread (Check on Settings > About Phone ! If your Android version is 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 or 2.3.6, you here to start !)

b. Are you already have CWM (Search some in these forum)

I posted this on HTC's Facebook page:

I really want this phone, but almost no usable local storage and a battery that won't make it to 5pm is unacceptable. Please like the comment on their Facebook page. I feel that if HTC actually knew people would pay top dollar for a PREMIUM NO-COMPROMISE phone, they'd actually make it. Imagine a DROID DNA with a 3300mAh battery and 128GB storage or a microSD, with a minimum guarantee of 3 software upgrades. I'd pay $400 on-contract for that. No problem.

Find it, like it.

FACEBOOK LINK.
[HTC Droid DNA] dmbfan13:
You people complaining about battery life crack me up. Never even used the device, yet you know it wont make it all day! The one person on the boards that does have it posted that he was on over a day of use with 42% of battery left!! His estimation was 3 hours of screen on time. I'll take that!! So before you cry on Facebook, wait till the phone actually comes out and reviews come in.
[HTC Droid DNA] dreamliner330:
There is no possible way that a 2080mAh battery will be able to power that furnace-of-a-display with heavy use all day long.

My RAZR MAXX is down to 20% when I plug in most days. I seriously doubt HTC has pulled out a magical battery bunny.

"There's no replacement for displacement."
[HTC Droid DNA] dmbfan13:
If once the reviews start coming out stating poor battery life, I'm with ya!!! But until then, hold off. No sense in complaining about something you no nothing about (I don't mean you personally). That's all I'm saying.
[HTC Droid DNA] dreamliner330:
So does that mean you'll send me a PM when the result is the MAXX still has better battery life? ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] paulxpaul:
Doesn't the Droid DNA have the S4 Pro processor? Doesn't it use less power leading you to have a good amount of battery life even if the battery itself isn't all that big? Just putting that out there...

[HTC Droid DNA] NorthlandAZ:
I turn wifi off, screen is on (never sleep) and Pandora is running. I post the battery life after battery hits 20%. Does that work for you all or would you like to try something else to?
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i can post my battery stats tonight when i get home since i have been on 4g since i took it off the charger this morning and cant use wi-fi at work
[HTC Droid DNA] dreamliner330:
Hmm, that'd be interesting to see. I don't Pandora a whole lot, but I do YouTube. Though I wouldn't dream of using YouTube in any quantity over LTE. I'd burn off my data in a few days.

Typical usage for me is ~2 hours of voice calls, 1-2 hours of navigation and screen on about 5 hours or so. I don't work in an office but rely heavily on remaining 'connected' so the phone gets used, heavily.

Reality is I'll probably end up with a DNA at some point, I'm just pissy about the battery and storage. It's pretty pitiful when my brand new smartphone can't replace my 4 year old MP3 player.
[HTC Droid DNA] NorthlandAZ:
I can do netflix or I have a few HD movies on Google Cloud too. I'll do a hour of Pandora and then start a HD movie if you'll like. Also all my music is on Google cloud.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
What I'd really like is to try it myself :cool: How do you get so lucky and get to have this phone right now? I'll do whatever it takes. I promise I'll quit crying about battery and memory at once!
[HTC Droid DNA] xxfallacyxx:
S4 Pro + New LCD technology = better energy use. I can't say whether or not the S4/LCD will consume more or less power, but I can say that they'll be more power efficient in comparison to a phone using older tech. 2020mah battery seems decent.

As well, kind of seems strange to me to try and compare the device to the MAXX lines, they're devices created with battery life as a priority, and let's not forget that they weren't created that way at first. In Motorola's marketing strategy it was RAZR first, then the MAXX. Suddenly so many people who had the RAZR needed the MAXX. Moto earned a nice bit of extra profit. Who's to say HTC might not do the same?
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
That's what I'm afraid of. If they release something a little better, DNA+ or something, with bigger battery and memory card slot, I'd be so, so upset. But there are no leaks like that at the moment. And I'd rather not wait 6 months, too.
[HTC Droid DNA] I Am Marino:
Another Verizon stepchild. No thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] renehd2:
Its funny to see people complaining about the battery life when they havent used the phone...

Just think this.. The Htc One S has 1650mAh battery and lasts longer than any other normal phone (excluding the MAXX line), so guys please wait unil reviews appear and make your own desicion....thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] mmx6688:
I fully support your action.

HTC need to listen to their customer. Put replaceble battrey phone into product line.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwiftLegend:
All this complaining when no one has used the phone is hilarious. Everyone is just ASSUMING they know the battery life will be crap. You don't know what HTC has pulled off since you aren't HTC.

Highly

doubt HTC would sell a phone if it only lasted 2 hours or whatever short amount of time you all expect. If that's the case, they'd make no money off it because everyone would return it.
[HTC Droid DNA] vinnyjr:
Right, you believe that then I have a ice cube factory to sell you in Anartica. Come on, I have the SGS3 with a 2100mAh battery running Jelly Bean. The Droid has a 2020mAh battery, over sized display with more pixels than Carter has pills and let's not forget LTE. He may have gotten that phone thru a day without using LTE, no videos and very little use, real use. To me this phone is a no buy, will never buy a top of the line device like that without storage and battery. On top of all this I would bet the phone has a locked down bootloader.

The Note 2 might not have the same quality screen but that doesn't bother me, I like the idea of plenty of storage, great battery, the software is killer, did I say killer, yep and the developers will be all over this phone. The Note 2 is a easy choice over the new Droid.

It's too bad the phone had everything going for it and they cheap out with the parts that cost the least to add to a phone. I would much rather have the phone a little thicker with a larger battery and plenty of int storage. If their not going to give you an sd card then the minimum of int storage should be 32gb. The available storage on the new Droid is probably about 11-12mb. That is a complete fail IMO.

Just My Opinion
[HTC Droid DNA] young0ne:
Not A p

Just to let you know stop comparing the DNA to the note 2 it is not a phablet. This phone has no features that would make it one. So in theory this is the best large Smartphone on the market.
[HTC Droid DNA] SwiftLegend:
One of the people is testing the battery with movies, LTE, and bunch of other crap. He said he'll post the results.

How do you possible think that a 16 GB phone will only allow you 11-12mb of storage? Can you please tell where the remaining 15 GB just vanished off to?
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
I think his mb is supposed to be gb... and in that case he's accurate. HTC elevate spokespeople confirmed on here that the device shows 11.5gb of usable.... .not sure how much bloatware is on it though.

The good news is that is sounds like the device is unlockable via HTCdev and a root method is being released as we speak... only a matter of time before we have jb4.2 on this thing :)
[HTC Droid DNA] tehknics:
Haha mb. Regarding the less than 16gb available for use...On HTC's fact sheet about the DNA it states: "Memory available for consumer use will be less due to space reserved for updates, installed applications and variations in formatting".

Here is a link to the Fact Sheet for the HTC DROID DNA:

Hope that helps shed some extra light on the situation :thumbup:
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
I posed on their page as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] A2Aegis:
Wrong. The DNA already has an unlocked bootloader through HTCDev, and has root/custom recovery.

[HTC Droid DNA] Venekor:
It's using a Li-Ion battery... arn't all modern mobiles using Li-Po now? I thought Li-Po lasted longer which is what you'd want in a phone you cannot easily change the battery.

Li Ion is better :p

[HTC Droid DNA] ohiwastedmylife:
Streaming from the cloud + low mAh will result in mediocre-decent battery life. These are fresh batteries though and will degrade over time. Why are people on the wrong side of this argument and instead not pushing towards having super devices. Why would anyone want a device that does not have everything technologically available? Just because you can settle for something does not mean that you should have to, or want to. If you had the option for one device with the best of everything vs one with almost everything, would you choose the worse one, just because? These things cost hundreds of dollars and thousands over the multi-year contracts so we should be given the best at the time of launch. Stop arguing about whether or not it will last, that makes no sense to split the community when we could all push towards making MFG realize a truly complete device.
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
obviously you are either a heavy power user, or are in a bad signal area. Different screen and processor can make a huge difference.

It will be a toss up with me between the note2 and the dna. Bottom line, is that I have found samsung products to be cheap feeling. I know they are beast devices, but the plastic they use makes them feel like toys. When both are available and I can play with them, one of them will be my next device. Just have to see if verizon is going to yank unlimited data away next summer like has been rumored (regardless of contract status). I've started monitoring our data and with using wifi @ home (50 down/ 5 up) and work (8 down, 8 up), its been running about 6gb for the whole family (4 devices).

I want to like the DNA, but I do need decent battery life. I can live with 16gb, though its not ideal. Sexy looking beast though.
[HTC Droid DNA] Hunt3r.j2:
It is a Li-Po. Lithium polymer batteries are still Lithium ion batteries, just easier to work with and generally lighter.
[HTC Droid DNA] TechSavvy2:
And on top of that, the memory consumed by os argument is laughable also. Its the same on all android devices......I have a 32gb GS3 that only has 26gb of usable storage. Care to tell me where the other 6gb went? And I know the 16gb models are the same with available gb as what we have here (11 I think).

How is it that not putting a 3000mAh battery in a phone makes it so its supposedly not marketable? By that standard then the MAXX and Note are the ONLY phones marketable..... And to top that off, there are about 20 people I"ve seen in various threads/forums (including this one) who are all reporting great usage from their DNA's. Much much much MUCH better than anyone expected. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

EDIT - and there needs to be clarification in op about "memory" vs "storage". Because you basically just complained that 2gb of memory isn't enough.....lol. It was just released in the GS3 as the new market maximum (and now a couple other devices).
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
yeah, don't get it either. Bigger batteries add more weight and not everyone wants to hold a heavy phablet up to their ear. The DNA weighs 40gm less than the note 2.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
if they yanked unlimited for those who are still under contract, wouldnt that be a get out of jail free card with the ability to leave your contract without having to pay an etf?

once you get your hands on one you will do more than like it, i was lucky enough to have mine for almost a week and have loved every minute of it.
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
there has been talk that unlimited will go away for us once our contracts run out. That would be about 18 months for those that got the galaxy s3's in june. Once you are out of contract they can change the terms and you either have to deal with it or leave.

Personally, I don't see a better option out there. at&t is just as expensive and capped, sprint and t-mobile have horrible building penetration. I guess my concern would be to buy devices off contract, just to have them pull unlimited next summer when my contracts are over.
[HTC Droid DNA] animez:
I've complained about the battery size in other threads but in light of info we are getting from people using the device I'm willing to admit it may not be an issue. But the storage is a true showstopper for me. When my wife wanted an ipad it made sense for us to move to a family share plan when adding it (we both had unlimited but barely used 4GB together). So cloud storage would not be viable alternative for me. With 10GB of music alone on my sd card right now 11.5GB available just doesn't work for me. I could pare down my music, but I would rather get a phone that doesn't make me have to cater my usage to it's shortcomings. After 5 HTC smartphones looks like I'll be headed elsewhere.

I'd like to see a chart that maps HTC sales with milestones for new phone releases. Have a feeling sales probably started to decline when HTC started removing sd storage and removable batteries.

[HTC Droid DNA] tehdef:
RAZR maxx isn't a no compromise device. Its a niche device. That battery config is unique to the industry. Now if more phones came with that battery, and you'd be correct in stating that the DNA is compromising. That said if the DNA had the features you're requesting we could add a few more grams and probably 3 to 6 mm if not more to the phones dimensions. Pass. It's not my fault you rape your phone when away from a charger or watch videos or stream and can't make it a full day. My One X on 4/5 brightness lasts almost 2 days.
[HTC Droid DNA] November49:
There IS another way..

I am in the UK and have been debating this issue with myself for a wee while now. To buy (eventually) or not to buy.

I agree with many users, i.e. that the battery might be a problem, as it is running double the pixel density of a lot of the smartphones either just released in the same category or due for release. Coupled with the quad core and LTE onboard, it's not a mix generally conducive to a decent battery life for power users.

However, with strides made in how the processor allocates cores independently to certain tasks and shuts down some non-essential functions while running others and so on and so forth, it has been reported that the battery might not be as much of an issue as previously thought. In any event, I keep a usb cable in my bag for connecting to a PC at work or someone else's two piece charger (if by some miracle theirs isn't micro usb as well). and I have a cigarette lighter usb converter in the car.

On to the memory problem. 11gb - disgrace. I will not work myself into a tiz over this, though. Seeing as I buy my phones offline and keep them for a while on a contract usually as cheap as chips with unlimited data package, I resolved to do the following: Hunt me down the HTC J Butterfly (that's right, the Japanese version of this behemoth) and purchase that somehow. It is the same as the DNA, but has the one thing that the Verizon version does not - expandable storage. A bit of a slap in the face for the US customers, if you ask me, because if you think about it they could have had expandable storage too or increased the size of onboard storage, as 16gb occupies the same space as 32 and 64. Then again they are trying to push people on to cloud storage, so the motives are obvious.

It's either that, or I hunt down the AT&T version of the LG Optimus G. Quad core, larger battery, similar camera, LTE, expandable storage. These solutions are born of a good few hours spent combing the internet for the best LTE quad core with storage combination (That isn't plastic fantastic samsung) and the best that I could come up with thus far.

Still rocking the HD2 with Tytung's JB Rom.

Long live the ageing monster that can still hunt, thanks to you boys here at XDA
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Why do you want a phone with LTE? Won't work over there with how specific lte Radios are right now.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
If you still have unlimited when summer comes you would be out of contract anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
[HTC Droid DNA] treadwayj:
i am actually under contract until feb 2014, i managed to upgrade to my rezound before they cut off unlimited even for upgrades
[HTC Droid DNA] jerverg:
Yes I agree. I would love to go back to HTC if they improve their battery and add SD card slot. The 4hrs HD Video playback on the reviews of this phone is a joke. Why settle for that when SIII can give you 11hrs. And Note2 can give you 16hrs? What's the use of that beautiful screen if you can't even look at it for longer than 3 hours of use? HTC is becoming a joke of a company. I loved my OneX but switching to SGSIII is the best switch of my life. The battery on the OneX won't last 5hrs of screen-on time without me, putting it to 0% brightness. The screen was gorgeous and i do miss it, but everything else is better on the SIII. It lasts 6hrs screen-on time at 50% brightness. Couldn't ask for more. And the SD Card I used with my Sensation is what I'm using now. Why won't HTC put SD Card back on their phones? They are trying to immitate Apple, hence their agreement. Stupid HTC.
[HTC Droid DNA] madzozs:
If you are talking about the test on the verge, then go look at the results again. S3 did worse on the test than the DNA.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sleepy!:
The Verge, the Verge, the Verge.

Other websites are getting results identical to the Verge.

The only difference is that the poor guy at the Verge actually expected battery life to be better than the Galaxy S3, that 6 month old phone.

His (rather justified, IMO) expectations came to nothing, and so he's written about how he was not satisfied with battery life.

Most users who say the Verge was biased seem to think that getting battery life on par with a GS3 is a great achievement.

It's not. The GS3 has 4 A9 32nm processors. DNA is 28nm Krait.

Krait should be lore efficient.

I don't know anything about screen battery consumption, so I won't make a comparison, but I do know that screens use up the most battery, and, knowing that, HTC should have put in a better battery, especially as this family of devices will be their offering against the new A15 superphones that'll get outed at CES and MWC.
[HTC Droid DNA] Azeus:
The problem that people have with The Verge's review of it is that they use a so called "Verge Battery Test" that is present in almost no other reviews. They give the Droid DNA a 4/10 for battery based off those results alone and make no mention of how it performs in realistic day-to-day use like they do with the other phones they review. The issue with this is that they give phones like the Galaxy S III a 8/10 based on trying it out for a day and they give the Nexus 4 a 9/10 also based on trying it out for a day, but don't even bother this with the Droid DNA. This is horribly inconsistent and defeats the purpose of rating devices if they're all based on different parameters. What other reviewers are seeing is enough battery to make it through the day using the phone how it would normally be used by consumers and that's what matters.
