I'm wondering if Facebook is the problem... Just a thought...

The One X+ isnt that bad in terms of battery life in my experience, I've done 15.5 hours with 2.5 hours screen on time, Not sure what folks are expecting, Thats pretty average for a smartphone... That is with Wi-Fi on, LTE on, Google Now on, Autosync on, the little weather widgety clock thing on.. and pretty much me not doing anything besides closing apps when im done with it, I have Kik messanger and TextPlus on in the background but they arent doing much to my battery life... I dont use the power saver until it toggles at 15% battery life, I have vibration on, and my brightness is fixed at like 33% constantly... I have every ATT app disabled in the app thing.. I also have the "best Wi-Fi performance" thing ticked which says it might use more battery...

Yes, Gaming and watching videos on the thing is going to drain the battery out fast, Just like every smartphone I've ever owned... Its better than my GSM Nexus with the stock battery (Its roughly halfway between the stock battery and the extended one) and better than the S3 I had very briefly (However I will note the S3 couldnt keep a signal at all whereas my One X+ can...) The conversion seems to be that you trade about 2 hours standby time for 30 minutes of screen-on usage in my case

Picture 1 is me using my phone normally in a day.. 15.5 hours is more than enough (I'd say i get closer to 13 or 14 average) with 2.5 hours of screen on time

Picture 2 was me basically doing nothing but watching Youtube and playing games this morning... its really not all that bad, the biggest consumer/ battery hog for me is Mediaserver for some reason, I'm not actually 100% sure why (I know what it is...) or if i could pull even better battery life if there is something actually wrong with it and its draining my battery excessively... But I'm not complaining about it because well.. this was me abusing my phone pretty much

Not arguing that some folks are getting rubbish battery life, Because they are, I'm actually more curious as to whats causing it, There has to be something here and some way to fix it
[HTC One X+] OUScotty:
Follow up to yesterday's battery

Ok in the attachment is my usage today. As you can see it is totally what I would expect from the phone. I got it to that point by disabling Google Now. That kind of stinks however, I can actually use my phone without being nearby an electrical outlet all the time. The other thing that works well is how much cooler it is to the touch under normal use. Normally it was quite hot. I work in a basement(3 bars with LTE) so my guess is Google Now was always trying to utilize location (even if it wasn't immediately obvious) on the screen via the indicator and thus would just kill my battery especially when I would pick it up to use it with the screen. I wish I could use Google Now but perhaps I can slowly bring back some of it's abilities and find a happy medium.

I'd also like to make note that I am still utilizing the power saving features for Jelly Bean along with JuiceDefender.
[HTC One X+] KenjiS:
No offense but I cant read that battery thing you got. I cant see how long you used it or anything, all i can tell is your battery is at 70%...

-edit- i think i might have got it, 7h or so?
[HTC One X+] OUScotty:
Yeah my apologies, the timeline is on the X axis at the bottom. Unplugged at 7am, and at 2:32pm it was above 70%. Pretty drastic difference since normally the last week or so I've been hitting 70% at about 9am.
[HTC One X+] KenjiS:
Sounds more in line with what im getting... Though i have Google Now on... o_O Weird.. Very weird

GSam is a bit nicer and free FYI so you might wanna give it a look
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
how much playback time should I be getting for 720p mp4 files? My phone drains about 10% every 20 minutes with power save on, auto sync and all wireless radios off and minimum brightness, I am quite disappointed, is this normal drain?
[HTC One X+] KenjiS:
I had to open my big mouth, Now my One X+ has developed a little problem :( It wont enter Deep Sleep so yeah... now the battery life isnt terribly great

You guys might wanna check that your phone is entering deep sleep and not getting held awake by something, because now im seeing similar drain to you guys...

Very new issue though, Weird... I uninstalled an app I felt might have caused it and ill see if that fixes it, Currently recharging my One X+ to reset the counters and everything...

According to BBM, It appears to be my Wi-Fi keeping the phone awake for some reason... Next step if the uninstallation doesnt fix things will be to disable Wi-Fi and see if that changes anything
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
I rooted on ICS and used Titanium to disable the Moto messaging app in favor the stock ICS app instead. I ignored the 6 mb "security update" that came out a couple of weeks after the phone's release but now that JB is available I'd love to get my phone updated to that.

So I used Voodoo to temporarily disable root and I downloaded both the security update and the JB update to the cache partition on my phone. It's my understanding I need to install the security update first.

Unfortunately, when I go into recovery to install, the process stops when the phone can't verify the signature on system/app/Messaging.apk.

When I go back into Titanium, for some strange reason the original Moto messaging app isn't in the list of apps, even in the uninstalled/disabled section at the bottom of the list. I can't find the damn file anywhere! I must have accidentally deleted it at some point along the line.

Is there either a way to disable the check for the stock app, or would someone be nice enough to provide the stock app in apk or update.zip form? Or any other solution suggestions?

Many thanks!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DertyDOH:
just download the utility in the development section, go back to stock ics, root, use ota root keeper, take the ota update, restore root
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
I was hoping I'd be able to fix it without wiping. Guess not eh? Thanks for the thought!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
Someone could theoretically upload the stock messaging app for you.. If it doesnt matter that i'm on jellybean i can send it to you...

Well i looked and it is the 4.1.1 version, so i don't think that will work for your needs.. If anyone is on ICS at the moment they can get it for you.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] empoweredh22:
I went ahead with the method suggested with the Razr utilities and surprisingly awesome enough, it didn't wipe. I guess the utilities just rewrite the /system partition so it reset not just messaging but all the bloatware I had removed. It asked if I wanted it to format /data as well. I said no and everything booted and worked fine so I just went ahead with the OTA's no problem. It was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the help guys!!

can you please explain how did you installed drivers?

I'm having troubles following your manual. I need sina-1 for developing but i can't connect it with adb cause drivers aren't installed correctly.

tnx for review.. I bought SINA-2 and use your method of rooting and it works.. have U tried some custom rom already? I don't know which is compatible with my device...

[General Topics] Catwiesel:
Update 9 months later

very small update after a few months of light and sporatic use:

- rechargeable batterie runtime:

I might have overestimated the runtime originally. additionally, rechargeable batteries dont get better over time...

that means that you really will be running to the charger a lot at home and should take it with you.

do not expect to be able to surf the web or watch movies the whole day without recharging.

- wireless range:

the wireless range is really really bad.

I originally stated it to be not great, but actually it is really bad.

No other device I ever had or currently have had a worse range.

expect slow transfer speeds even when directly next to the router

expect trouble even behind one wall / more than 5m away

expect no connection or unuseable for anything expect the most rudimentary stuff (getting an email) behind more then 1 wall and/or more than 5m away

--> apparently this WAS a problem with the earlier SINA-1 tablets and LC-Power will fix it. This would also mean that the newer ones should not have this problem

--> this bad wireless connection might also be a reason for the bad batterie runtime

- micro-sd:

I've had bad trouble with my 32GB MicroSD card(s) (SANDISK 32GB SDHC microSD Class 10)

the previous tablet (mira-1) took it, my even older mobile took it, the SINA-1 did not...

since my 8GB and 16GB cards were working I thought my 32gb card is incompatibel

--> A few weeks ago I could test another SINA-1 (new), no trouble with my 32gb microsd...

- Android

no new android / update has been released by LC-Power (that I can find)

- Modding:

still no real community

- Apps / Games

a few games (that might need a somewhat more powerfull device) that I can tell you are working are:

magicka, pokerstars, terraria

- built, glas, buttons

after light and cautious use over many months, the tablet can still look like new (if you clean it)

I have no scratches, no color scraping off, the buttons dont wobble. its like new

- the power-in jack

this needs a mention too, since it really is not well done. the plug fits, but will fall out very very easily.

best not to move the tablet when you have it plugged in

conclusion:

my first review still stands more or less... for its price this is a okay tablet

if the wlan is indeed being fixed and the batterie will run a bit longer for the current sold devices, this is still a good buy for ~150 EUR

since I do not really know what is wrong with the microsd issue (my tablet broken? newer tablets unaffected) I can not use it for reviewing. but be warned :)

HOWEVER...

there is a new LC-Power SINA-2 tablet that I will be reviewing soon...

I will post the link later

Front camera not supporting video calls

Hi!

I was wondering if anyone who owns this tab had any issues with incoming/outgoing video calls (via skype/facebook/ooVoo).

Fact is, I can't make video calls via any of the above software, when i try, skype just blanks out and goes to previous screen. When incoming calls arrive it does the same but it says that I have a missed call.

OoVoo on the other hand connects to video call but automatically uses the back camera instead of front.

I don't get it. Any advices/ideas?

Thx

Hello everyone... I have a really weird question: How can I kill my phone without the chance that the company finds out?

I'm stuck with a crappy contract and they won't let me finish it with my phone working... So... What should I do? The idea is that I kill the phone but that's impossible to discover that I did it...

Any ideas?

OK so any charger I use including the stock charger gives me a wakelock called PM8921_eoc and it is causing my N4 to charge very slow this wakelock will run the whole time my phone is plugged in. I've tried different chargers and different power sockets to move avail. Can anybody help me this is so frustrating.

Ah OK so hopefully the new charger I got will help it to charge faster. I need to check and see if my phone is recognizing the original charger as a USB. Thank u so much I feel better now.

Edit: My N4 reads the original charger as ac so I dunno its OK though maybe a ROM will fix my extremely slow charging. I will just keep trying different Roms and kernels till I find what I want.

Thanks for the response! I was following that guide, but for some reason I don't have the same option in the Qualcom settings, so I figured it was because I'm having issues installing the Samsung USB drivers. I installed the one from the guide, a more recent version, and the 64 bit version. No icon appeared on my desktop, and when I searched Samsung on my computer, only the install comes up.

Hi:

I have a Samsung Verizon Gnex connected to Page Plus. I got it to work following the instructions provided in few threads in this forum.

I ran a script with ETS that is supposed to flash every setting in this phone to make it work with Page Plus in 3G data speeds with no need for AHA AAA passwords.

Well, the phone works OK, I can talk and text but data is only at 1X.

I don't have the AHA AAA passwords for my phone, how can I get this phone to work on 3G instead of 1X?.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bcrider:
I originally posted this on the androidforums.com site but I read that people have moved over here so I'm hoping crossposting will get us people with this problem so idea on how to fix it.

Anyway, when I first purchased this phone through TMobile, not only were the vibrations weak for texts and calls, but the sounds were also a problem and hard to hear in a pocket at max volume. My friends phone had most of the same ringtones but a different model phone so I copied their tones over mine and theirs were much louder sounding on my phone compared to the ones in my list that didn't get overwritten. I've Googled on and off over the months looking for a way to up the intensity level of the vibrations for texts and calls but haven't found anything, not even and app for that. I haven't rooted or altered this phone yet beyond installing apps.

Called into Tmobile tech support this week and factory rest it to no avail. They sent me a new phone in the mail and it's the same, low db ringtones and notification tones and very weak vibration.

The GS2 phones on a particular Canadian network are build a bit differently and have a good vibration mechanism and the GS2 phones on Sprint are a bit different too because I believe they have the flashing LED light on the front, so that means that not all GS2 phones are built with the same hardware. This makes it hard to figure out if it's a software problem or a hardware problem.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I haven't rooted or installed a different ROM before so has anyone had this weak vibration problem then installed a different ROM and this fix it? I ask this thinking that maybe the mechanism has the ability to vibrate with more intensity but has been engineered down for some reason.

I'm babbling now and not really educated enough on what all could be gained to combat this problem via a new ROM.

Any thoughts or comments from others with this problem?

Okay so your phones vibrations seem normal, hmm. I see your on the T989 as well as being on T-Mobile so I'm wondering why I've gotten 2 in a row with a weak vibration mechanism. Do you remember if yours was weak before you modified it?

Anyone else with a weak vibration mechanism, post so we can figure this out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I thought there was a setting in sound...where you can adjust the vibration
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bcrider:
There are 3. One for ring vibration, one for notification vibration, the last on is haptic feebback; I have maxed the sliders out on ring and notification. Still pretty low intensity after that.

I saw Jelly Bean on an GS3 at the T-Mobile store today and in that version there is an additional setting where you can choose your type of vibration other than just the one short vibration that happens now.

Does anyone that installed the Jelly Bean ROM for the GS2 have this additional vibration setting where you can choose a different vibration pattern?
