[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hicks12:
I thought the same until my N4 actually arrived, it seems battery life is abysmal compared to my Optimus 2x which didnt have anything really spectacular in regards to battery size. On my O2x I could get 1.5 - 2.5 days depending on use, hitting atleast 1 .5 which was good and acceptable for me (I can charge at night anyways) however my N4 doesnt even reach 13 hours on similar usage!.

I am quite a light users of smartphones however I do like to have a power phone when it comes to using it on the basis of smoothness and capabilities if I need to say do work on my phone, I rarely play games though. Main usage is 2 email accounts on poll 1 hour steps, a third account that is an exchange server and polls in 30 minute steps and thats about it with some brief browsing and a handful of texts (been a quite time since I got my N4), this is less usage than my O2x and yet it still performs alot worse!

I was hoping of staying with stock as I was expecting it to finally be good, comparing it to LG stock attempts it is but battery life isnt :(. I will be trying the combo Vangelis13 mentioned, raspbean and matr1x kernel as that seems like a great mix :) however Parandroid has been on the table and it seems like alot of being are getting good results so I will try it soon :).

If I can get more than a day of usage I would be really happy, if I was playing games or doing really heavy tasks I wouldnt expect it to last but right now it is doing pretty much nothing and dieing far to fast!.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WastedJoker:
One thing I've noticed since coming to N4 from S2 is that phone calls drain battery much more significantly on the N4. I could make an hour long call on my S2 and it would use no more than a couple of percent battery but the N4 used 15% for an hour long phone call the other night.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisastrous:
If I didn't own a nexus 4 and came to this thread to find out about it's battery life I would expect it to be good.

Point is you guys are misinforming everyone. The battery is mediocre and that's it.

It won't last a full day if you use it constantly and I do need two charges / day many times.

Let me put it this way, you will only get roughly 3 hours of screen time on stock everything. If that is good for you then it's will have good battery life, if not then you will say it's got poor battery life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It's always incredibly funny when someone comes in saying everyone else's subjective battery advice is bad then claims his subjective battery advice as correct.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisastrous:
You clearly misunderstood my post. Food you even read it?

There is nothing subjective about 3 hours screen time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmike413:
My battery is fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StayGreen:
madmike413!!!

How do you got this battery life?!!

mine is insanely bad with trinity kernel and toolbox and paranoid android.

thanks..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
His phone was mostly on standby/deep sleep mode. That's how it lasted 2days.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pesante:
+1

you are perfectly right.

I come from an iPhone 4s, which I changed because the battery life wasn´t that great and I thought it was time to try something new.

Got the N4 last friday and played around with it during the weekend.

Monday, tuesday and wednesday this week... none of these days I´ve been able to come back home with the phone still on.

I wake up at 7.30am and I usually am back home at 6pm.

In my opinion, and honestly should be in everyone´s opinion, 10 hours of battery life are unacceptable, whatever the usage is (considering that 7.30 of those 10 hours I was at work)

I have till friday this week to return it, which is a pity because the phone is great

i get 5-6 hours sot..

rom is omnirom 5.1.1 hellscore kernel b73.

100mv undervoltage hellsactive governer.

think 7 would be possible if google services would not take a quarter of the battery.

the screen is not taking that much battery as one would think.

think most issues with battery life come from fake original battery replacements.

had 3-4 sot using "original" battery. but after replacing with real genuine from official lg spare parts shop 5-6...

Hii everybody i have an s3 and am running 4.1.1 .recently i got an otg cable.but when i connect it the mobile recognizes it and there is a notification" usb connector connected" but i cant access the connected drive from file manager..and also i dont want to root the device..so is there any way to acces the connected drive on the mobile phone without rooting.

p.s. am a noob .so plzzz try to make it noobfriendly..thank you
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
I thought the GS3 already supports otg without needing root. Are you hooking up to a portable harddrive or a usb flash drive (aka jump drive)? Also be sure the usb storage is mounted in Settings > Storage.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ytrewqqwerty:
:mad: Sony really p*****g me off. Gs2 and note are expected to get jelly bean in January. Where Xperia t will get in February, Xperia s in march. By the time android 5.0 may be out.

Gs3 already got jb. What's wrong with Sony? If they don't give us jb quickly, then they shouldn't void warranty for custom rom till they release jb. I really regret buying Xperia s now. And I also don't get that how on the earth Xperia u doesn't get jb where Xperia j does? :mad: **** u Sony! U betrayed with the customers!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] krabappel2548:
T, TX and V will get it first, that are the flagship devices.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] doctor_droid:
I did mentioned 'x' flagship

Btw how does j and xp and xgo get jb before xs? i find it illogical
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ytrewqqwerty:
Sony should let us using custom rom. They shouldn't void warranty and should be shameful for slow updates.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ytrewqqwerty:
Even las year's few Xperias including arc and arc s are better than Xperia j.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zimbashka:
This is Sony, after Xperia X10 experience I shouldn't have gone with Xperia S, now same frustrating support...they always get people with their beautiful hardware....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] saberamani:
sony is very slow to update xperia phone s to android 4.1

i think sony update xperia phones to android 4.2 in 2014 LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL:eek::silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] penta42:
True, that's why I got SXS insted of Samsung mobile
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pecholino:
ok, i understand that making such a big update takes time.

even if it takes Sony about 2-3 months more than the competition to finish the update, it's not such a big deal for me.

my phone works great on ICS and yes, i'm looking forward to JB but i'm patient.

but if they f**k up the update (like ICS) and they don't fix the dialer lag and auto brightness issues i'm buying a Nexus.

The only thing that REALLY pisses me off it's the update schedule!!

When we bought our SXS's (the majority of us i guess), this was the flagship device! The most advanced and the most expensive Sony you could buy. And now we are the last one getting the update? Are they F****N serious?

I understand that the "T" is getting it first as this may boost it's sells, but why in hell are the mid range devices also getting JB before SXS?

Sony F****D me with my Arc and now the history is repeating... I just wish they don't screw up the update otherwise i'm leaving Sony for good.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] penta42:
I think SXS will be my last Sony mobile... To be honnest, in the paper SXS is good but if you look it when you have it, it's worse than we do hope.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pecholino:
You're right. The only thing that keeps me from leaving it's the UI.

I owned a HTC One S c2 which has roughly the same hardware specs as the SXS and it runs smoother even though it's running the Sense UI.

And the battery.. Mine SXS eats cca 1% per hour when idle (overnight) and 2% per hour on easy usage while the "One S c2" drained only about 1% to 2% overnight (cca 8 hours). So the SXS has some serious performance and battery drain issues! But i love minimalistic UI.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ytrewqqwerty:
I got Xperia s without knowing that Xperia t was already rumored!!:( .should have waited for Xperia or v!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ytrewqqwerty:
Xperia s was a fail. Xperia ion is much better, at least it doesn't have that useless illumination bar. Unfortunately it is unavailable in UK

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] iridaki:
While I can to some extend understand your frustration, Sony will release JB when it does and there's little any of us can do about it, so this thread serves no substantial purpose. Thus it will be closed!

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] TheHeeroYuy:
Hi,

I just recently installed a custom ROM which is this: PAC ROM then I removed it and installed anew which is this: Jellybean V3. Now the problem is that, I can't pass through the boot animation, it is stuck up. I tried re-flashing an original 2.3.6 via Odin but still, after starting my phone, all I can see is the boot animation.

Is this what you call a brick? Or was it something else? And what are the possible solutions? Thanks.

Regards,

Heero
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] F4uzan:
It's called bootloop.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
and it happened because you flashed a rom meant for gt-s5570i (galaxy mini plus) which have slightly different hardware. just flash some other rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
after flashing stock firmware with odin, u must wipe data and cache..its mandatory or else u'l be in bootloop forever
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ast00:
Be happy! Using ROM meant for Mini Plus can brick your device completly. Which means no life signs. No backlight, no sound, no vibration, no recovery, no download mode. SO nothing. And your device is still alive. So just be happy. That was close.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
or flash a four package firmware

as it will refresh your data partition
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] KawaiiKami:
LOL BOOTLOOP!clear data and cache after installing the ROM.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] akaFoxMulder:
It's been about a month since I updated to 4.1.1 and before the update I was able to hide whichever apps I wanted from the app drawer and was able to toggle hidden apps on and off. After the update all of my apps that were hidden are gone from the app drawer. And if I try the same tactic of hiding an app it disappears all the same. I can still navigate and open apps through a launcher but how can I get things back to normal. Any help? Thanks!
[HTC Desire S] bigr3d:
Hi all,

First off thank you to everyone who takes time to read and reply! I desperately need help.

So under advisement I followed this tutorial to unlock install Clockwork Mod and root my Desire S. I visited htcdev.com and followed the tutorial to unlock my phone. Now when booted into recovery (booted while holding volume down) it says ***Unlocked***. So that went fine as did installing ClockworkMod and Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Then under advisement I downloaded Cyanogen 7.2, placed it on the SD card and installed via ClockworkMod. It seemed to install, but now it wont boot past the start up screen (for me it has Telstra branding) and wont go any further.

Device details:

HTC Desire S

S-On <---Think this may be the culprit

HBOOT-2.00.0002

Radio-3822.10.08.04_M

eMMC-boot

Until I tried this, the phone was completely stock. Also, I can still boot into Clockwork.

I know next to nothing about flashing Android devices and should have done my research propperly. Any help would be great!
[HTC Desire S] chaitu2710:
first extract boot.img file form the rom zip file into the folder containing the fastboot file

next in cmd go the the directory and then input the command fastboot flash boot boot.img
[HTC Desire S] bigr3d:
Thank you very much for the response.

I did as you said. the command window results are:

C:\android>fastboot flash boot boot.img

sending 'boot' (2158 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.390s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 0.456s]

finished. total time: 0.871s

However, it still wont boot. Are there any further steps that need to be undertaken?
[HTC Desire S] bigr3d:
No wait, I got it! I just went back to clockworkMod after following your steps and reinstalling CM7.2

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! You have no idea how much I appreciate it!:D

[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi, I don't think we are allowed to talk about it. Those who know the answer to this question. I think that's why the above poster was short about it. I hope you understand, but rules are rules and if they are broken here we can get a infraction or worse,..... so it's best not to ask. I believe I can say the creator of said kernel was banned for infractions of rules. I hope you understand. Best wishes. I hope this is ok to say. We don't talk about such things usually. Just so you know. Hope I don't sound rude or short, it's just I don't want to break the rules myself. You can understand that...

So really it's best just to leave it at that.. and best to not post about it again. I hope you understand.

On the side note, this occurs in latest stable Chrome, latest dev build chrome, as well as latest stable FireFox.
