Hi

I know there's threads about this and I have tried searching but can't find a proper answer.

My android OS is keeping awake for long periods of time which is causing my battery to drain very fast. I have downloaded better battery stats but I'm not sure how it works.

Someone help me please!

Thanks

1: Will this laptop run Windows 8 with all available options, such as splitting apps and all?

2: Running the upgrade assistant, it says secure boot isn't supported on my system. Is this a worry?

3: If I upgrade, will I keep all my programs and documents?

4: Is iTunes, Skype, Steam, Hamachi, Chrome, Microsoft Office 2007 and Photoshop CS5 all compatible?

5: My track-pad is a Synaptics one. Will Windows 8 drivers give it all the different gestures for Windows 8?

6: What is it like without a touch-screen? Should I buy a touch-mouse and, if so, what one?
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
1. Not a guarantee, but splitting apps should work - however useless that feature is.

2. Secure boot blocks anything besides Windows from booting up, which is helpful to almost all Windows users, but probably not xda members.

3. Don't do the upgrade. People have had so many problems with it that it is much better to dual boot imo.

4. iTunes - not sure but probably, seeing as it is just a music application and doesn't direcly interface with hardware

Steam - yes

Hamachi - no idea

Chrome - yes

Office - yes

CS5 - yes

5. It SHOULD

6. I would say that a proper trackpad is ergonomically superior to a touchscreen. Sure it's a little more awkward but you don't have to lift your hand up to it. When I upgraded to 8 my two finger scrolling became almost as smooth as it is on Mac. The only inconvenient part about not having a touchscreen (imo) is having to drag the mouse from the top of the screen to the bottom in order to close apps, but it is way easier to just alt + f4 it.

But if you are like me you won't even touch Metro apps. My start screen consists of my desktop apps and shortcuts to various folders. It retains all of the functionality of the old start menu. Just stuff has been moved around that's all. You can still hit windows (or click start) and start typing away. But now if you want to click on something to open it you have the whole screen available, and you can pick which programs are on there, instead of just your most recent ones.
[Windows 8 General] Brad387:
Why shouldn't it be able to run Windows 8 in full, since it more than passes the minimum system requirements? Will the performance of my laptop improve or become worse than with Windows 7? I really would like for Hamachi to work, so if anybody knows please leave a message. What is the point of dual-booting? I really do just want to upgrade. What problems are there with that?
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
If something goes wrong, you still have your old os. Also upgrading windows is generally a bad idea because of all the problems it causes. If you wanted to upgrade I would back up everything to an external drive and format it.
[Windows 8 General] Brad387:
I will likely still keep Windows 7 then, if upgrading is that risky. I cannot be bothered to reinstall everything or transfer all my files. My laptop is really important for my education and also just in my daily life. I don't want any risk to it. Thanks for the help though...
[Windows 8 General] JihadSquad:
No problem
[Windows 8 General] Brad387:
It will take me hours to reinstall all my games and software, especially since I can't even remember where I put the discs for some of them any more. Not worth it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Xaet:
Okay, so i've got a Galaxy S2 (I727), and it's got CM10 Jellybean 4.1.2

Problem is when I update the rom from the nightly updates, it updates my Gapps from 4.2 back to 4.1.

Is there any way that I can permanently keep the 4.2 so I don't have to flash 4.2 and lose my calander data, and alarm clock data every time I update my phone?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
If you're on 4.1.2, don't use the 4.2 gapps.. at least that's what I've come across.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
4.2 Gapps...

Myself and others can't even get that to work properly... it FC's everything... :/

As far as keeping your Gapps after an update, you can utilize CyanDelta (Google it...) and it allows you to download smaller update files as well as automatically flash zips in order (like gapps...) so every time you do an update it reflashes those automatically...

Your data is another story... alarms, etc...

Other apps like Rom Tool Box Pro and others do this as well but need Rom Manager installed (I highly discourage using Rom Manager...)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
You are going to have to weigh the benefits you receive from 4.2 vs the benefits you receive by flashing nightly builds and choose the greater value.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ariza27:
Hi folks,

As you all know that, i fixed SIII carrier problem while ago. Now N7100 Note II has the same problem too and i believe i can fix that too. I talked some people from all around world from forums and i wanted Note II owners help but they didn’t want to risk their phones. I think service boxes corrupt the phones’ modem and accually you can update it without modem.bin but if you want to use an official update that would be very hard.

While i was working on i9300 SIII, i extracted modem.bin, and changed some codes in it. With that method the carrier worked. I want to do same thing for N7100 Note 2 but i haven’t got any. If you support me for financal way, i’m going to buy a N7100 Note 2 to use it on that work or you can just spare me one. :) If i able to get one of those, i’ll fix every modem thats for sure and air them in here. Thank you

I’ll write every donator’s name on here and the total money with that way, you can see the progress.

Best Regards,

#1 I am a noob....stop me if I am going to hurt myself. I am starting a new thread with hopes of it staying more on the technical side.

#2 I found radio files for phones that use the same gsm radio chipset as the N7 3g.

#3 I have backed up my tab.

#4 I am going to flash the radio only with the phone radio file. It is a modded file that keeps its bars better....supposedly.

What could go wrong here? Will installing a later version of android later remove it or will I be stuck on ics? I am guessing with the flash and the phone apk the voice might work natively instead of VoIP only.

Running the rooted stock new AT&T Jellybean and it seems to have worked for me. But does anyone know the code to check carrier lock status for sure? I've tried the code that is probably for ICS or maybe the I9300 and it didn't work. I tried *#7465625# .

Before I did the procedure I got an error with an old foreign sim. Said something about a lock. Afterwards, it gave no error with that sim except that the account wasn't registered. The APNs were now for that carrier and not AT&T. Tried a second foreign sim from a different provider that is active and in the upper left corner it showed Tmobile and the provider, which is right as that provider uses Tmobile as the roaming partner in my area. The APN was showing for that provider, so both times it changed the APN and no longer showed the AT&T APN.
