Which I am running but 3% over 11 hours?

Any e-mail accouunts? What do you have enabled/disabled? What is syncing?

The best I have ever managed was about 1%per hour and that was with everything off apart from the cell.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
Read the link I posted above about fast dormacy and if this is your problem then get the app fast dormacy from play store

If you're worried about wifi while sleeping also have sync turned off and location in settings and disable notifications from play store and disable notifications from apps also
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chippyuk:
Will give it a try but I have never seen it show up in BBS in the past hence never tried it (I was aware of it) and as far as I am aware O2 (UK) does support Fast Dormancy.

It is not that I an dubious about the 3% drop over 11 hours I just want to get to the same level! :)

EDIT: To get the 3% drop do you disable everything you mention above? I use Tasker to disable everything including sync, wifi etc...except the cell. But I do not disable play store notifications seperately.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadproducer:
This is what I have come to expect. 1% per hour is reasonable and typical. 3% over 11hrs...hmmm...I don't believe it.

I have messed with this before without positive results. But anyway, since it seems like you have it working...what is your typical % drain over 8hrs?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XenomorphXx121:
I usually turn mine off overnight but if I do want it left on I turn my location settings off and everything that requires wifi and don't lose much.

I'd suggest trying better battery stats from play store then after leaving your phone off overnight dump your results (in settings) and then go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809 to ask about your results

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Martin J.:
These screens do flicker... like it or not.

Flicker while recording a screen, possible reasons:

I agree with that.

Still, these displays DO flicker.

To be specific: Galaxy S3 and Note 2.

There is a considerable amount of flickering on these displays, comparable with old CRT monitors switched to 60 Hz.

They glimmer like neon tubes. When you swing them fast, they don't leave continuous traces, but discrete, sliced traces.

Try it yourself. Denying it won't change it.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, then your eyes might be just a bit "lazier", or you might want to check them.

Whatever you do or don't do, try not to humiliate people who do see this flickering.

And yes, to the author of this thread: if you can, shoot Note 1 and Note 2 side by side, so you can eliminate these differences in frequencies from the quote above.

Wait, what frequencies? My Note 1 does not have a frequency... the pixels emit light continuously (only their value is changed every 60th of a second - if it's changed at all, not on still images - but they do not turn of and back on 60 times per second... unlike Note 2's).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaolin95:
I needed to run my old crts at 75 at least to not go crazy with flicker so you cant call my eyes lazy ;)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prashanthme:
ok first of all its on jelly bean Rom, when I first tried cm10 I had data pack.. now I had removed it as I get internet in office only... phone network s also weak in office.. in jelly bean rom when data turns off the carrier name its displayed as NO INTERNET CONNECTION. which s not good if u poor network or no coverage still shows no internet connection... so I started searching and found that it was problem in aosp where a person raised a bug for that.. though still no answer for that.... and I tried editing spn conf file with no use... also some suggested to edit eri.xml in /data... still no use... I know this s question I m asking ppl how to display carrier name even when data s Off.. should have been in qa section but later it gets ignored... so any devs know how to do that.. I know it helps many ppl like me

also I.checked my friend note 2 it displayed carrier name even when data s Off.. I.think this issue s resolved in official..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Freedom9:
Hello all,

Been with iPhones for 5 years and finally made the leap to my frist Android, that being the SIII.

I love visual voicemail and learned that it doesn't come installed on the droid OS so I downloaded the app, AT&T Visual Voicemail.

I noticed if someone leaves me a voicemail, there is no icon that indicates the number of messages I have waiting (like the iPhone does) which is an issue because if I don't manually check it, I could have messages on there that are days old. I've explored the app to see if it's a setting but can't find one. I also looked into other visual voicemails but don't see that any offer this feature either. Am I missing something here or does this not exist on droid phones?

Thanks in advance and this forum looks awesome!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] harlenm:
Download Google voice and set it as the default voicemail number. This phone won't let you automatically set it up, you'll need to go into call settings and change the forwarding options, but its not hard. You can set up a widget on your homescreen that not only shows you the voicemails that you have, it will also transcribe them. But the transcriptions are usually hysterically wrong.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Freedom9:
Thanks Harlenm but I can't do that as I use my Google voice number for a real estate business and I get a million calls to my GV so I cannot distinguish personal from business doing it as the way your suggesting it. Just not possible as I need my numbers and vm's separately. Very disappointing that this is such an operation for something so simple.

Thanks again though!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackie78:
Hi,

I have a local Server in my Windows network that I would like to access from my Nexus 10 in order to listen to music or display images directly from a network (SMB) share on my server. I have tried many file explorers like ES File Explorer, Astro File Manager, and some more, which all offer the ability to directly access network shares, but their photo viewers seem to be rather slow, especially compared to the one that comes with the Nexus 10 preinstalled: this one is amazingly fast, and I wonder: how do they do that? Do they use a special kind of hardware acceleration to enable users to smoothly slide through huge JPEGs?

I have tried to copy some of my 12MPixel digital photos locally, no problem viewing them with the Nexus 10 Galery viewer. But this software lacks network support (except for "cloud", which is not what I want).

In contrast, the photo viewers of these file managers mentioned are totally slow, ES file explorer takes around 20 seconds before it displays one 12 MPixel photo, and additionally, the quality is quite poor :(

Is there some kind of viewer available that is fast and smooth, and can access smb shares directly on the Nexus 10?

Hey,

Iam using vipersaga rom and i noticed that Fifa 12 (paid app) lags here and there. it's very annoying if you want to score a goal and the frames drop like hell.

Can somebody help me plz. i even overclocked it @1.5ghz Performance. but it still lags. Same for Subway Surfer (free app).

i tried many roms but these games still lag so can somebody recommed me a good rom for these games?

Thx ;)
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Firstly, you are playing modern games which are designed for the newer phones - quad-core etc.

Secondly, there have been at least 10 threads this month from people asking for the best ROM for gaming. Try a non-ICS ROM - Reaper, CM7.2, Endymion.
[HTC Desire S] jugg1es:
Agree with Simon, but I think a lot of the lag is actually due to sense running in the background. I've noticed lag all all sense roms granted not to the extent to which you describe. Reaper is a lovely rom for gaming though.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LRC1710:
I'm using the jellybean 4.2 camera on my galaxy s3, and I'm loving it, the only thing is that I can't find the timer, does it have a timer? If it doesn't, that's a big issue Google has to resolve...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
I've been wondering this ever since I checked out the LED on my S3.

I've had the GNexus before this and it appears that both these phones (GNexus and S3) have the same LED module.

However, the S3 isn't able to display most of the colors that the GNexus can. I can only think of one reason for that: Drivers.

I was wondering if some dev here can look into this and post here. I'm sure we'd all love to have access to all those colors!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnan10:
White led always seems to be bluish white....

Indeed not at all white...sky blue color....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
I'm using an International GS3 and well... First of all that LED tester app doesn't work since I have lightflow installed.

Now lightflow itself fails to produce most of the colors accurately (other than red blue green).

=============

I read in the LED Tester App reviews that the Tmobile GS3 can produce most of the colors accurately. For example one guy says that he can get PINK displayed correctly. For me, it appears as a rainbow-ish white lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayden2009:
interesting...hope someone can do that :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goughymachine:
With Light Manager, I'm currently using white, blue, cyan, green, red, purple. When I was using Lightflow I was also using orange.

Using Light Manager, I've just tested orange, yellow, pink, In some cases the colours aren't perfect; yellow for instance looks a bit funny but still works and I can tell it's a different colour from others. I'm in Australia with international i9300.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
You do realize that with Light Manager ...

You do realize that with Light Manager you can customize the hex value of each color to your precise value? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istoner:
Just explored this option.

Yep, we have terrible LED colours.

But then I use a few basic colours: White, Red, Green, Darkas**** Blue and my notifications are sorted out.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
Can you guys try and bring this to some good devs attention?

Im sure this can be fixed with a lil programming magic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadSOL:
Phew! I thought that my notification light was busted or something!

If you go to GO SMS settings and change the colour, it doesn't appear as it should! Red, Blue, and Green are perfect! The rest of the colours aren't perfect. In fact, it looks like there's a bit of blue mixed into most of them. It is very annoying and it makes the colours purple.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ASKnASK:
Its not :)

When I sold my GNexus and bought the S3, I didn't know that the S3 has a full-fledged proper Tri-color LED. I had seen internet videos but they all appeared so dim (weird). It was a very pleasant surprise when I saw this thing blink :)

I hope some dev gives this problem a look. They could tout it as a main feature in their ROM :D

Accurate LED Lights! :D

Maybe thats it, how would i go about fixing that? i read about it before but would there be an easier way to remove without opening the actual phone up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
Sometimes running a pinhead around the perimeter of the button and slightly under the lip can dislodge anything stuck there. Short of that, opening up the phone is the best way to fix it. It's not too terribly hard to do.

I hold back key, no green led

I hold menu key, no blue led

Doesn't enter fastboot mode or flashmode.

Anyone knows how can i recover it? I don't know if it's unlocked bootloader or custom firmware or anything.

The only too ways the computer detects it is by getting stuck on sony logo and flashtool detecting it as usb debug disabled or by doing the testpoint and computer detecting it as a Zeus Flash Device.

Great service and you get 15 GB just for signing up (5 gigs on sign up and 10 gigs from the promotion they are running).

And if you use the link below to sign up we BOTH get 5 more gigs!

It's called jotta cloud and I am liking it more than drop box. And having my files separated by device is nice (PC, Android, etc).

***removed link, please scroll down to see links others posted***
[Fascinate General] mezster:
Some more info provided by another user:

If you sign up till the end of November you will receive 15 GB storage. 10 GB is a bonus for early adopters, the basic and free version of the service will offer 5 GB. But what is interesting the Jottacloud Android app backup and recovery functions and they work really very well.

Some first impressions:

- the online version of the service is in Norwegian by default and you have to switch it manually from Bokmal to English, German, etc.

- in order to receive the extra storage you you have to set up and do at least one synchronisation. After that the extra space should become available to you

- the recovery function works really well and I wonder if it can be used for syncing accross devices (like tablets and smartphones). I cannot test it because I have only one device. Is anyone who can figure it out?

- what is nice you can choose if syncing/Android backup should be done over WiFI/3G

- the upload is blazingly fast. The upload saturates my 40/4 Mb VDSL. I use different storages and Jottacloud is one of the best (like Russian Yandex or Swiss Wuala), far faster than Dropbox or Sugarsync

- there are no size limitations - I uploaded a DVD ISO file (4.3 gigabytes) and had absolutely no problems with it.

- as in other services there is a referral program and one can enlarge the storage space up to 100 GB (according to the service: Invite friends to Jottacloud.Your friend will receive an invitation to Jottacloud by e-mail. Your friend clicks on the link and sign up on Jottacloud. Both you and your friend gets 5 GB of bonus storage You can get up to 100 GB bonus storage).
