[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It might be an app that is running. I had Words with Friends installed and man it killed my battery in 3 hours! Try turning up your Android memory settings so it kills background apps faster also.
[Motorola Droid 3] JoeHockey:
I seem to have narrowed it down to the TuneIn radio app. I have it running in the morning while fixing breakfast, etc. On the weekend I don't run it and my battery life has been much better. Didn't used to have a problem so perhaps the updated something?
[Motorola Droid 3] Uronlyfriend:
Could be, I have tunein on mine, however don't use it daily. Do you use a launcher like go launcher or nemus, etc.? I use go and am just use to my phone dying by around dinner time, however it and other launchers can be resource hogs and I can see a recent update to it being a plausible cause for your sudden battery drain.

This is pure thought though, haha no facts or anything to support my claims, just ideas. Hope this helps a bit!
[Motorola Droid 3] HFR1985:
Try calibrating your battery, their are toons of free programs in Google Playstore (try battery calibrator). Also keep in mind every battery has a life cycle (maybe is already reach it's end). The other thing, is that you could have damage your battery by accident:

Things that could have damage it:

1-. Leaving you battery to charge at night (This can't happen, you should only charge it while it reaches 100%. Its like a cigarette, it slowly kills it)

2-. Has your device or battery been in contact with water? If it has, you should probably go to a Motorola Center.

3-. Overheating, try covering your cellphone from sunlight (The optimum temperature is from 0-45C°)

Hope it works, good luck
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
1 is actually incorrect. Leaving it charging overnight will not decrease battery life on modern batteries. When it reaches 100% it will stop charging and let it drop back down to 95%, then top back up. If it did this 20 times, it would be the same as 1 battery cycle(complete drain and recharge) you shouldn't see much more than 5% battery drop overnight unless you're running one of the experimental kexec roms, which have deep sleep issues. However if you are concerned about your battery lifespan then you shouldn't be on a kexec rom. Batteries have a limited number of cycles, but it doesn't matter if you do the cycle 5% at a time or 100% at a time.

To give you an idea, i've this phone and battery a year-ish and I still get as good of battery life as when I got it. I always leave it charging overnight. I easily get 12 hours of battery, and I'm a heavy user. At least 2 hours screen time plus several hours of music playing
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
I've noticed my WiFi killing my battery sometimes, and other times barely making the top 5 in the Battery Usage menu. It's weird. However, when I do notice it, turning off WiFi solves the problem. Typically this happens on my university campus; my working theory is that, for some reason, my phone is trying to talk to a WAP that's almost out of range, instead of switching to a WAP that's much closer. All of the WAPs broadcast the same network, but I think my phone may remember which specific WAP it connected to last time and tries to re-connect to that WAP even though it's halfway across campus :P
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If your wifi is on, but not connected, it scans every 45 seconds which is a huge battery drain
[Motorola Droid 3] Khiraji:
Typically it remains connected but at low signal strength, despite a WAP being no more than 20 feet away (through 1 wall). I have noticed that though too; if I'm somewhere with a bunch of networks and not connected to any of them I'll typically turn WiFi off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Considering the similarities between the domestic variants of the Note 2 and their international counterparts, would anyone be willing to test some of the success that the folks over in the AT&T forum have had with porting the international N7100/N7105 firmware/ROM's over to the Sprint Note 2

Check out these two threads over in the AT&T forum and see what you all think:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016575

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2018411

The basic gist of the procedure is to use a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP to flash a stock N7100/N7105 firmware, and then flash your carrier specific modem/kernel.

Why would anyone want to do this? Well, for starters, you would benefit from built-in stock-supported tethering, and a few other features that carriers disable (YMMV). But mainly this means that the domestic versions of the Note 2 can benefit from the development of the international versions! So, when the latest version of Android comes out for the rest of the world, we aren't stuck here waiting for our carrier to catch up to everyone else...

So what do you all think? Anyone willing to try?

Clarification: Just so everyone is on the same page here, I want to stress that, while this process is successful on both the AT&T and T-Mobile GN2's, this is VERY dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. I would NOT recommend anyone try this unless you are confident in your abilities to recover from a brick situation.

Again, if you are even REMOTELY interested in trying this out on your own, don't even think about bothering with it unless you absolutely know what you are doing! I take no responsibility for any bricks that come from someone trying this without the proper experience and know-how. You have been warned!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
it works on the ATT variant because it and the international are both GSM. We are CDMA, i doubt that it would be as easy. Using verizon ROMs might be a different story though.

Also this ------------> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1992947
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
See, I'm not so sure. At least this time around, the radio's are pretty much the only major differences, and those can be governed by the kernel and modem.bin, so if anyone's willing to try it, it could be well worth a try! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ix3u:
How about you give it a shot then?

And also, how about posting the same stupid idea in all of the n2 sections. Checked Verizon and tmobile and it's in both of them too
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Epix4G:
No the partitions are completely different also .... so flashing the international roms could definitely brick it

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
Not a single one in the Q&A section either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleshepic:
This thread is dangerous, dont normally say that, but PLEASE dont encourage (or even put the idea in peoples heads) that they should flash something for a different phone. What you described is NOT porting. Your asking for a brick flashing different firmware. And why dont YOU try it then get back to us....on your computer, cus your phone will be a paperweight
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na7q:
Partitions aren't completely. They are almost identical. You just need to flash the OS properly.

Not recommended for sure. At least for beginners. You can flash their stock ROMs is you flash properly flash them and make sure there's no radio and that you use your stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
They are different though

/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 /data -ours

/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /data -theirs.

We have /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /carrier at 16
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na7q:
Yep. Nearly identical. I flash your ROMs and theirs. I'm on a US Cellular note. Just gotta flash properly. (: I'm using your stock ROM on my phone. Just takes some know how.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rawdikrik:
There has to be, at least, a dev developed tool that will convert 1 notes rom to another. That way a dev can create a rom, then easily spread it to all devices.

I can't imagine making a script or modifying a kitchen to output for the slight differences between phone would be that difficult.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
Yeap, Its called AOSP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
Im posting here because Im getting my GN2 monday. Here is a nice little guide on porting roms http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990589. This was used to port roms from the gsm variants of the s3 to the sprint version. It should be the same process for the notes.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rawdikrik:
Not really helpful, or what we are talking about here...

---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

This on the other hand... looks promising. If only I wasnt going out of town this weekend...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftr182:
Here is another one from Chairface, he ported MIU from the verizon GNex to Sprint S3 with CM10 using this http://pastebin.com/Nrhciwyf

I have actually done this method before and it works. It just takes time to work out all the kinks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jade Eyed Wolf:
You know, I'm not even a Sprint subscriber. I don't own the Sprint GN2. I have absolutely nothing to gain by sharing an idea with all of you. If you think it's a stupid idea, fine, but there's no reason to be an @$$hole about it either.

Now this could turn out one of two ways. Either you're right, and it was a stupid idea, for not working on CDMA GN2's, but at least we tried and now we know for sure -OR- my idea works, maybe with a little finagling, but still possible, and now (with some help) I've just opened up the door for domestic users to take advantage of the development being done around the world; something you've rarely, if ever, been able to do... You're welcome.

So yeah, don't be an @$$hole.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
Should he lie and say your idea is good? would that make you feel better? It won't work. The partitions between the Note variants are different. It not the same as the S3's. Just because you don't understand that doesn't make him an asshole. Also if you are going to curse people out, have the balls to actually spell it correctly

/rant
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ix3u:
Ask anyone that has ever flashed a rom from a different carrier how it worked out for them... Only result I have ever heard of is brick. So forgive me for not kissing your ass because of your stupid idea. The people that are capable of porting roms have either already thought of it and it's not that easy, or its out of the realm of possibility at this point. So all your doing is putting useless thoughts into the heads of people who won't know any better and end up effing their phones. So go suck a boner
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
geez enough guys. plenty of useful stuff has been pulled from the multiple variants. thinking outside the box is how we get what we have and grow the community and our devices.

it can't (or would be difficult to) do it

no reason to rip each other apart over it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockypr:
This is posible but is not like flashing att rom and putting sprint modem. You got to configure the rom to make it cdma, I remember back in the htc evo days they made t mobile my touch compatible and others htc European with sense 2.1 compatible, only issue was no 4G
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ix3u:
I wasn't saying it wasn't possible. There are great ports of tons of roms on tons of phones.... Just saying some dunce cap coming and telling people to try flashing an international rom and then the sprint radio over it is a stupid idea. I personally am very excited about the possibility of getting some of the international roms ported over, but if anyone around the Sprint n2 had the skill to do it, we wouldn't be sitting here with 15 variants of the same rom as our only choices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skyjedi:
This may work one day, but it does NOT work now. If you flash another varient ROM right now you WILL lose your baseband.

the fix for anyone not understanding this is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1997150

Again, if you dont know what you are doing, DO NOT TRY THIS.

IF someone how knows what they are doing figures out a safe method to do this, they will post it, till then i would suggest DO NOT ROGUE FLASH.OR ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO ROGUE FLASH.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ix3u:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na7q:
Well I don't know what you've been doing to brick devices. I'm running a U.S. Cellular Note II. Which ROM am I running? Oh that's right, Sprint's LJC stock ROM. You don't say? I've also flashed N7100 ROMs. No bricks yet. Just don't flash radios or updater-scripts that wipe random and wrong partitions. :) Be nice buddy. Spread the love :D

Don't flash radios and other bad stuff with other variant ROMs and you're pretty much set. I've yet to lose anything by flashing Sprint and N7100 ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Of course you flashing Sprint roms doesnt do anything. Sprint and USCC GN2 are basically the same device so it doesnt matter. Yes you can actually flash intl roms and you wont brick but whats the point? No data, 4g. You just have a wifi phablet lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na7q:
just trying to explain that flashing things doesn't just "brick" your device. :good: know what i'm saying son?!

international device is nearly the same too. so really nothing matters. now let's kiss and make up everyone. :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mattym320:
Ok so I upgraded from the Galaxy Nexus a week ago. Absolutely loving this beast. Sorry if this thread has already been started. Im noticing ROMs are starting to pop up fast in just the week that ive had this, so I rooted last night and just wanted a feel for what people are running for custom ROMs and why they like them. I def want to get rid of this bloat that came with it, and I love customizing things. So what do you all think? what are you digging on at this very early stage? They all seem pretty nice at this point so I just wanted some thoughts on what you are all liking. Thanks!!

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibbz96:
This isn't a 'which is better?' question, because they're two different sized tablets at different price points. I'm definitely considering getting a tablet soon, and I think it would have to be one of the two Nexus devices. But, which one should I get, is my question.

I used to have an OG Asus Transformer, and initially I used it frequently, but I ended up just going back to my desktop for general browsing etc. I think it might have been to do with the slightly outdated OS and specs, but also to do with the size.

I'm not sure if I want the very portable and rugged 7 inch screen, or the less portable and more cumbersome 10 inch screen.

Also, the price of a 32GB N7 is considerably cheaper than it's 32GB big brother, and I could also get mobile data if I wish.

I want to know if the smaller screen size and lower specs really make a difference on the experience.

Does anyone have both? And is the N7 big enough for watching Netflix, browsing the web etc. Cheers.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I didn't like web browsing on my Nexus 7, but enjoy it on my Nexus 10. Holding the device for games might of been slightly better on the Nexus 7 than Nexus 10 imo though, but the extra screen estate is nice on the Nexus 10.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibbz96:
I am quite a gamer, and I guess gaming on a Nexus 7 would be easier. How about portability, do you take your devices anywhere?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Yep, was walking around downtown a bit for about 2 hours with my N10 the other day; it's not too big of a problem as long as you have a bag of some sort I guess (I have a backpack and a laptop bag), but just carrying the N10 around with no case or anything probably isn't "too" ideal.

At the least, I think some sort of "book" cover with a grip might be nice for the N10 (which if I understand right, was planned to be available from Google, but was scrapped for redesign)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zenith24:
Hi Tibb,

I own both (Nex10 32GB and Nex7 32Gb 3G).

The Nexus 7 is perfect for carrying around, in the train/bus, on coffee breaks at the Autobahn ;) , etc. The Nexus 10 is a little bit too big if you're walking or if it gets crowded on the bus/train, not that it is a bulky device but "on-the-go" the Nexus 7 wins in my opinion.

Gaming is good on both devices, it really depends on the game, for example "Asphalt 7: Heat", with the N7 the game is much easier to control, 'cause the N7 is smaller, on the N10 the display and graphics really rock with the game. It's hard to decide.

For sure browsing is much nicer on the N10, you have more of a desktop browsing experience. On the N7 browsing is more or less the same experience as on a smartphone.

Watching Netflix/movies, again hard to decide. When it gets to movies, my opinion: the bigger/the better the screen, the better the movie experience, so the N10 wins. But again, on the train/plane/bus and "on-the-go" I would prefer the N7.

I really like using my N10 at home and the N7 in all other cases.

When I switch directly from the N10 to the N7, for a short time the display of the N7 really sucks ;) because the N10s display is so top notch.....

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
Just wanted to know one thing: the screen on the N7 is AMOLED, right? And the N10 has a LCD of some sort, right?

How good or bad are the blacks on the N10 screen compared to the AMOLED screen. I want to know because I own a Galaxy s2 and a Galaxy tab 7.7, which both have AMOLED tech, and I just love the colors and blacks I get on these screens. I am going to buy a N10 now, as soon as I see one, but I want to know about the "black" (how deep it is) first. Or could anyone please upload a picture with both N7 and N10 using a black background as wallpaper so I can get an idea?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
The N7 does not have an AMOLED screen. It has an IPS screen. AMOLED is usually a technology used by Samsung on smartphones (keyword = usually).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
Hmm, ok I was wrong about the Nexus 7 screen. Don't know why I thought it was AMOLED. Anyway how is the black on the Nexus 10? Say when you boot it upin a dark room, will you see the backlight in the corners and will it be grayish rather than pure black?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
If you read around, people are talking about light bleed. It definitely hurts the level of black. The black isn't great and you'll definitely have some light bleed in the corners.

While the Nexus 10 is known for its high pixel density, it certainly doesn't have the best looking screen. That doesn't mean it's a trash screen though. It's pretty good even coming from a GNex whose screen I tweaked to fit my liking.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
Yes I read about these corner bleeds on the forums, but I thought that might have been a first batch issue. I will buy a Nexus 10 as soon as I see one in the shops anyway, but it is just good to know what you will get before you buy anything :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
I got mine from the second batch and it still persists (not heavily though). To be honest, I didn't even know what light bleed was until I read around the Nexus 10 forums. Had to Google it to really know what it was about, and I decided to check up on all my LCD displays. All of them had it to a degree. I think people are making an exaggeratedly huge deal out of it. Don't bash me for that, because I'm sure there are people who either are very sensitive to this kind of thing or got a unit that was just completely unacceptable, but I really doubt that this many people can be possibly bothered by backlight bleeding which is prevalent in nearly all LCD displays. It just seems like something that got caught on and is spreading - "The Light Bleed Plague."

Anyway, if you're not in the dark a lot, you'll be okay.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tibbz96:
I'm still undecided on which I want to get :silly:

I can get a 32GB N7 for £179, or a 32GB N10 for £389..

Small screen or big screen... agh I can't decide!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
Well, let's see. I don't have a Nexus 7, so you don't have to take my post into too much consideration, but I want you to spend money on what fits you.

The Nexus 7's specs are on the verge of being outdated. That means, give it about 6 months and a new low-cost tablet will come out. I'm guessing the Snapdragon S4 Pro will become the chip of future lower-end tablets and that thing is a beast even if it doesn't beat the Exynos 5250.

I'm sure the experience is fine as it is right now, but as apps start to make more use of the power, the Nexus 7 might start to be considered as "slow" in a few months. Unless you want to replace your tablet often, then I think this is quite problematic.

If you seriously want something portable, I would wait. Give it maybe 6 months and you can get something that'll last you 1.5 years. If you want something now, the N10 will get you far. The 5250 SOC is no joke even if its pushing a high resolution.

Again, I speak from just reading around and not from experience, so feel free to disagree or ignore this post.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
It's really a guess. I bought my directly after the first time it got sold out. But I believe there is also a naming scheme for the S/N and mine suggested it was the second (it had a B or 2 in there instead of an A or 1, I forgot which one it was though).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike240se:
While I dont have the Nexus 7 or the Nexus 10 yet, I have used the Nexus 7 and own another 7 inch tablet and currently use an older 10.1 inch tegra 2 tablet. I would say this decision comes down purely to where and how you want to use it. If you plan on using it mostly at home or in the office then get the Nexus 10 hands down. I personally think the 7inch form factor is way too small and I feel like I am more using a large phone rather than a full tablet experience.

If you plan on using the tablet on the go, like bringing it to starbucks, traveling around with it, using it on the go, then get the 7 inch, its massively more portable.

In the end though, I just find 7 inch as far too small. I have big hands and its just not fun to use. Others mileage may vary.

SO, what browsers are available that allow setting User Agent string sticky (not every time you launch)?

I've been using Dolphin, also ICS Browser+. ICS Browser+ doesn't work in Jelly Bean, so that only leaves Dolphin. I gather from reading the owner's manual that the Desktop View check box is not sticky (in the stock browser), you have to manually set it for each site.

Last I looked, Firefox and Chrome both lack this obvious feature. Are there any others out there that have a User Agent setting?
