[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jazee:
Brand new to Android coming from iOS. Battery life is an issue. Reading up. Ran Carat and found the Battery Percentage App I installed was identified as a Battery Hog itself! Going to run a couple more days before using something like JuiceDefender Plus.

How essential are these processes?

GO SMS Pro (does it always have to be running? should I dump it and go back to stock messaging app?)

HTS Sense (assume no way around this except custom ROM)

TegraZone

Google Services

Media

Maps (Haven't even run G Maps once yet!)

Swiftkey 3 - wow, takes up 19MB. Hope it is really THAT much better than HTC keyboard?

And odd thing is that in many cases, I can't see how you close the app, let alone, REALLY close it. Of course this was no different than iOS, when you closed it, it still was in memory in the background so it would resume when you brought it back up. On iPhone you press the Home button to close it and go back to the spring board. Same here? I know - dumb newbie question.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mister J:
It's not a dumb question at all. Android uses a different system to manage memory, and does a good job. To get better battery life, look at your settings and turn off automatic syncing, gps, location services, etc. The problem is that not all the time you will have wifi/data. The phone constantly is looking for data and that uses battery as well. You can kill the maps in the task manager, but it might restart itself when you reboot and update the app, and there's no way around this unless you root your phone.

To find the task manager, go into the apps menu, and look for Task Manager. You can completely kill apps from there, but I wouldn't worry about it too much, android does a good job most of the time. For those apps that are stubborn it's good for.

If you don't want to root, try going into settings and then apps. You can disable apps that you might consider "bloatware" such as AT&T apps and youtube, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WhatTheAndroid?:
Actually on iPhone you don't just press home, you double click home hold the app when a minus comes up then you close it.wow I never knew how many clueless people could be with an iphone..anyways for the HTC one x you press the capacitive button to the right of home then you swipe up on the app to quit it.Now If you want to permanately remove bloatware/other processes, you have to root the phone ...although juice defender ult is a great app..the one x battery is great for me..even when I was on stock..maybe turn off fastboot( in power settings) turn off all the sound, Screen brightness low, touch settings(vibrate when keys touched..etc).check push notifications manually.. believe me android is more productive in battery life then IOS. Hope I helped. A thanks would be appreciated :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jazee:
Ya, I knew how to close apps in background on iPhone, just didn't explain it right. To bad there's nothing close to Intelliscreen X for Android. Really miss the collapsible notification widgets on the lockscreen. Widgetlock with Tesla Unread Counter is a step in the right direction. I guess with such a small screen the iPhone developers have always been forced to get creative with how the apps use screen space. Those guys at Intelliborn really pulled off an amazing app. Too bad none of the people that have not jailbroken their iPhones can use it.

Battery life is much much better now (still in first 24 hours of usage). Not sure what I had running, but it could have been the Battery Percentage App I downloaded that Carat listed on the Battery "Hogs" list that I uninstalled. Ironic a battery meter would cause much more battery drain. Unfortunately I read than on HTC they have no option to switch to % where other phone do. Haven't used JuiceDefender Plus yet, but maybe that will give me the info. The battery icon is so worthless for knowing "really" how much you have left except for a general estimate.

Oh and THANKS on the swipe up thing. Is there a "must know" guide for "power users" coming over from iOS to Android/Jelly Bean that would tell me more of this stuff. I never would have guessed it and was flip through the apps wondering "how the hell to I close all these?" Still in my first day though. Man this phone is fast.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jazee:
Well, battery was doing great then I wasn't doing much with phone and could feel it get hot. I watched Battery go from 85-65 in about 30 minutes! I went into Carat and saw high CPU, but you can't see from Carat what is eating the CPU so downloaded Android Task Manager, great app. Used realtime processes report. Of course #1 CPU eater is the Process Monitor itself (only when you are looking at it). But I was seeing the PowerAmp "Service", "Music Enhancer" and "Sound Set" and "HD Widgets" all very active in CPU usage. Wasn't using PowerAmp or HD Widgets. Haven't even used any of the widgets!

Is there something other than carat that will give me an average CPU usage say in the last hour of all the background services and processes so I can determine what's eating the battery in a short period of time - or am I stuck just looking at realtime process info?

It looks like from a brief search PowerAmp service is "normal". I have a HUGE MP3 library of 3000 songs I just synced yesterday - is gradually processing them or something? I also downloaded Neutron Player. Both have excellent sound quality but the Neutron interface is geeky - PowerAmp more like iTunes but I'm an Audiophile so if I have to go to Neutron to avoid this PowerAmp "Service" from eating my battery from time to time I will.

I've been using the app button and the swipe up a lot now to clear out apps - but like iPhone I'm guessing in most cases it doesn't make a huge difference as Android, like iOS sort of sleeps the background apps anyway. Or should I be in the habit of checking and closing background apps not being used? It seems the "services" are what can cause the issue more (other than foreground apps). Still learning. Bare with me.

I'm not a gamer. If there was a setting (without needing root/custom ROM) to underclock the CPU a little, I'd probably take that for more batter life. Seems on the One X+ I'm guessing much of the extra battery capacity is offset by the higher clocked processor! It's probably just a matter of me finishing getting the phone configured the way I want, stop adding apps, then debug the CPU/Battery hogs and uninstall, change settings, or start using JuiceDefender. My guess.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jazee:
Feel like such a newbie. Found the built-in Android Battery Usage screen. Shows Android Task Manager as using it the most! But I was having the hot temp/battery drain before I even installed that! Second is the Android OS. Third is WL Theme Viewer. That makes sense as that WidgetLock Theme view app created a big database. But the battery drain continued after it was done! Then Sounds Set, HTC Sence, Google Play Store, Carat, HD Widgets. What the hell is HD Widgets doing? So no jump out culprits - except Sound Set seems suspicious!

[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:
can anyone confirm if you can switch sim cards between a G-Nex and the DNA? I would still love the option of running the newest build to see if I liked new features... I already preordered my DNA but am debating on Selling my nexus if I can still switch to it if I want to...

I know when i went from TB- G-Nex it was a different size... did they change the size again?

Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] android88:
The DNA has a microSIM slot which is the same as the GNEX.
[HTC Droid DNA] two_cents:
thats good news... will there be any issues with me switching back and forth if i need to... with the network? the vzw rep said i cant but i know i have done it before with 2 of the same phones the only issue was that apps were locked because the sim didnt match the gmail account
[HTC Droid DNA] android88:
Probably not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rekil goth:
Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone can get S-note to automatically open when you tap on an .snb file in google drive. Essentially, I want to create a file using S-Note (on my Note II), sync it to Google drive, then open drive on my Note 10.1, find the file, click and have it open in S-note. I had this working at one point, but I think when I installed Gmail downloader, this app became the default for .snb files in Google drive. Now every time I click a file, Gmail downloader opens. Gmail downloader isn't set as a default. I uninstalled Gmail downloader. No change. I uninstalled drive. No change.

The note 10.1 is still on ICS so S-Note cloud sync through Samsung account is not yet an option, despite being available on the Note II.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thank you kindly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] philmair:
I write SNotes on Note2 and Note 8.0 and sync between the two using DropSync ... works perfectly (you don't need to use Google Drive)

- On Note 2 Phone : two way Dropsync from phone's SNotes folder to my SNotes folder in DropBox

- On Note 8.0 Tablet : two way Dropsync from tablet's SNotes folder to my SNotes folder in DropBox

What would be perfect would be to find an SNotes viewer that worked on Windows (not Windows 8) .... anyone ????

If this has been posted before my apologies. After getting my nexus I combed threw the settings and discovered that the keyboard has native emoji support. Now not only can you see emoji but you can send them now. To enable them go into your android keyboard settings then goto add on dictionaries. Enable emoji for English. Next go down to the advanced keyboard settings and enable switch to other input methods. Lastly go back to keyboard inputs and check the input iWnn IME. Once all these steps are down you will have a small globe icon on your native keyboard. Press this to switch to your new emojis! ?

We have finally gotten permission to post the TAR for the recent Sprint SPH-D710 FK09 build!

This is the first stable build we've seen and works awesome!

The list of the changes we discovered from our Discussion thread has been copied from the General thread to this thread as Post #2. Screenshots are still available there.

I've compiled a few Screencast videos showing a few of the features that are new to this build.

Lockscreen Features Overview

Launcher Features Overview

Motion Features Overview

We've really only found one major bug and it has to do with the phone.apk. Whenever you try to call or receive a call from someone who has a contact picture assigned you will receive a FC at some random point in the call (generally when you hang up). The temporary fix for this is for you to remove contact pictures. For a quick and easy removal download and run Contact Picture Remover from the Play Store.

Flashing the TAR will also result in ALL Internal Storage being wiped. Be sure to backup everything!

The TAR is completely stock and is not rooted (for instructions on how to root please visit my Repo How-To Pages). It must be flashed with Odin as Mobile Odin does not flash modems correctly. If you don't use Odin you will not be able to flash the modem and this build is not compatible with any other modem (also this modem doesn't appear to be compatible with ICS or GB).

For downloads go here: http://www.rwilco12.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=22

I used contact picture remover so no contact pics and I did not sync contact with fb app, but I cannot find the setting to no sync contact pictures as suggested by the OP on the other forum.

Here's my findings so far. I flashed with computer odin the el26 safe recovery in pda slot. I unchecked reset time and reboot. After flash, I pulled the battery, put it back in then went into recovery. Noticed triangle. Flashed rogue el29 1.1.4 gunslinger then powered down. Powered back into recovery and restored calkulin 2.8.1 el29. After that was done I cleared cache and dalvik and flashed el29 modem. After that I booted into system and tried to update profile and prl. No go. Either timeout or no service. I went back into recovery and cleared cache 3x and dalvik 3x then flashed el29 modem again. No problems. Still had triangle. Tried updating again and no luck. Went back into recovery and did a restore with el29 modem already installed. Still triangle and still no update with profile and prl. Backed out of update screen and about five minutes later data still didn't come back. I tried the jig from powered down state and it would not reset counter. I just went back into download mode and flashed rooted odexed el29 and it looks like the triangle is gone. Am going to flash custom recovery in mobile odin this time and restore previous calkulin 2.8.1 nandroid. It just booted into system of el29 and looks like data came back up. Brought up wifi to dl mobile odin and additional file it needs. 3g wouldn't turn off even though wifi was connected. Just rebooted. Now wifi came up and dl'd mo. Getting additional file for mo. Done. Flashing gunslinger. Rebooting. Shutting down so I can boot into custom recovery. Triangle is still gone. Restoring nandroid now. It's checking md5 now. Nandroid restoring. Rebooting. Updating profile. It's taking awhile. Error: Unknown Error. Updating prl. Hmm, prl selection isn't wanting to engage. Went into task manager and cleared ram. Ran prl again and unknown error. The prl is 60690 now. Maybe the server is down for the night. I thought I've seen behavior like this before. I'll try again in the daytime. Off to bed.

Read the entire thread and I'm at a loss now that I've finished. Everything seemed excellent initially, but a few things went down the drain as time passed. I understand this leak hasn't been out long but I see a lot of varied results.

1. When should we do a recap of known issues? This thread is going to get really long.

2. I thought the zip file was all inclusive. Unless I'm remembering something I read earlier wrong, aren't the stock kernal and modem part of the package already???

3. I'm not the most familiar with the inner workings of Titanium Backup, even though I'm becoming quite a flash whore, if I backed up the folder on my sdcard, will I have to move it back to the phone to restore my backups?

4. I have no clue what this pulling apk's business is. Can anyone provide steps and a complete apk list for the ones to pull?

5. Does anyone else have the rapid draining battery issue?

Thanks in advance. Hopefully I didn't ask anything that was already answered and simply slipped from mind.
