IMO, it would be because of 3G activating when the wifi turn off during sleep.

Try doing your test in Airplane mode to isolate the activation of the Phone radio and stick only to WIFI during your comparison test.

EDIT: ooops! sorry, it just occured to me that you've got a P6210 and not a P6200. My bad. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jim-j:
Airplane mode uses more battery than WiFi always on

Yup, my tab is WiFi only. However I did actually test it in airplane mode and found that the battery lost 0.40%/hour (lost 11% total over 27 hours) with airplane mode enabled. This is still worse than the 0.27%/hour you lose when you just leave WiFi on (Keep Wifi on During Sleep? set to Always). This airplane mode battery drain was also unexpected to me, but in googling it seems like this is a common problem.

One last test I did was to manually turn the WiFi off. When I did that the battery only drained at a rate of 0.11%/hour (lost 1% total over 9.5 hours). I should test that longer to get a more precise number, but my short test was good enough to show that manually turning WiFi off does actually save power (it's about time something worked as I expected it to :).

My next planned test it to use something like AutomateIt to automatically turn off the WiFi after the screen turns off to see if I can automate the WiFi battery savings.

My GT-P6210 also has the same issue after installing Elements HD rom. I never had this issue even after upgrading from honeycomb to ICS stock.i
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] viper001:
If you know how, try looking into the build.prop. you'll find that stock wifi. supplicant_scan_interval=15. try a higher number like 90 or 180. this basically lengthens the time for wifi network searches from 15 secs to 90 or 180 seconds respectively.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jim-j:
As Krusty the Clown says, "it's not just good--it's good enough"

I could probably figure out how to change that, but I've decided that just leaving WiFi on all the time gives me good enough battery life. I enjoy troubleshooting these types of technical problems, but unfortunately I must return to debugging my three year old daughter's Dravet Syndrome. Her cognition is deteriorating, so I'm hoping to find a solution or workaround soon. :) If any of the multimillionaires that read this forum want to fund a cure for Dravet Syndrome, head on over to dravet.org or dravetfoundation.org
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] neu - smurph:
I've got this issue on a Chinese Tablet running JB 4.1.1. After some investigation the conclusion I've reached is that the settings are mislabled on the GUI. "Always" results in disconnection from the SSID 15 minutes into sleep (although WIFI is still 'ON'). "Never" keeps WIFI on and connected indefinitely, and if autosync is also on you'll get lots of wake-locks and reduced standby battery life, particularly if you have location reporting on and google maps installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jim-j:
Interesting results, but that wasn't my experience. For example with WiFi always on my tablet does stay connected to the network all the time. All of these weird issues is about enough to make you want to buy an iPad. :)

########It's misunderstanding.###############

I found this fix eventually. You have to install Asphalt 7 Galaxy S3 1.02 Samsung Apps version. (And it's free for S3 users :laugh: )Its framerate is very playable. from 22-40 fps (measured with FPS Meter app) with no decreasing graphic quality like my previous mod : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047321

Note 2 users can't see Asphalt 7 paid nor free in Samsung Apps. Why? Why? Samsung.

I can't distribute the APK. Because it checks the license for first time online, then it finds out that you haven't purchase it for FREE in Samsung Apps, so it won't open.

So, let's begin.

1.Root your device

2.Use a root file browser to open \system\build.prop with a text editor

3.Look for ro.product.model=GT-N7100 and change it to ro.product.model=GT-i9300 (You can change it back to GT-N7100 later)

4.Reboot

5.Just open Samsung Apps. You don't have to wipe data for Samsung Apps.

6.Search for Asphalt 7, and install it for free! It's version 1.02 though.

7.Enjoy lag free asphalt 7 with no loss graphic quality! :good:

8.You have to change to ro.product.model=GT-N7100 and reboot, or you can't use S Note.

########It's misunderstanding.###############

Here is the correct guide.

After you change back to ro.product.model=GT-N7100. You will find out that the game become lag again. Both Samsung Apps and Google Play version.

So whenever you want to play Asphalt 7. Edit build.prop to ro.product.model=GT-i9300. Reboot once. And play without lags both GOOGLE PLAY and SAMSUNG APPS version.

When you finished playing it. Edit build.prop to change back to ro.product.model=GT-N7100, or you can't use S Note,
[Galaxy Note II General] victorator:
I can see asphalt 7 free in samsung apps without any problems.

Any chance of it coming to our phones when Canonical officially releases it? Supposedly, from what I read. All that is really needed is drivers. Not exactly sure on that though. Still have to do more research on it though. Would be awesome if it would.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
I'm not sure if you were trying to answer your own question in the same post, lol. But there could be a possibility of it working. Check out the OP of this thread, apparently you can sign a petition to get the development started.

In my opinion, if you really need to use the Ubuntu OS I'd suggest to just stick with the desktop version for now. Android is already more than good enough as a phone OS which is still basically Linux-based.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullonie:
I'm on TWRP 2.3.3.0., and my computer is W8 Pro. I've searched but most people seem to be able to get adb working during the bootloader at least, but not for me. I've tried sideloading a zip through the command prompt (and picking the adb sideload option in TWRP) but it tells me that adb is not recognized. I've tried using the Nexus Root Toolkit to restore a backup I have on my computer, but, yeah, no adb. I was wondering if disabling driver signature enforcement was temporary, so I went through the menus and disabled it again on my computer. I've used the cable/port that I rooted it with but I've also used different cables and ports as well. Why isn't this working? Am I bricked?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbox1513:
Have you tried jromflasher for nexus 7? With that tool you can wipe your system, upload ROM, temporary load custom recovery, and flash the ROM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullonie:
Error 103. I think my device needs to be booted into an actual ROM.

I thought that maybe the drivers from plugging my phone in were interfering, so I used the Nexus Root Toolkit again, and went through the driver installation for a second time, deleting all the old ADB drivers and such. Well, when I tried to install the RAW drivers, I get "Windows was unable to install your unknown device," and basically it could not find the driver software and to check the company website and so on. Did I just dig myself into a deeper hole? Gah! I wish I could remember which wipe option deleted sdcard so I know to never do it again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Letitride:
OP is using Win8 - might want to try to do it with a PC or laptop running Win7 or Vista OS and start fresh by loading the drivers and/or use Jromflasher - borrow a friend/neighbor's PC to see if it can be jump started, assumed that s/he cannot get it to boot into Fastboot and/or Recovery as the file systems are likely corrupted. (I have an old/aging laptop running Windows XP SP3 that's set aside for fixing often the impossible)

Otherwise, it might be time for an RMA to get it repaired by Google/Asus and/or exchange - it could cost $$ if they determined that the warranty has been "compromised" ...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
You know you won't get adb while in bootloader? You need fastboot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullonie:
It says "fastboot mode" on the bootloader.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bullonie:
Thanks. I'll try this later tonight. Would they RMA in this scenario, even though it is my fault? Assuming I can't get it working.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmega:
I don't understanding why you would RMA? You can get into twrp right? So you can still flash ROMs and whatnot. Just need to get adb installed on cpu
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbox1513:
You can also try "disable driver signature check" on advanced reboot on windows 8.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hemidroids:
Well....use fastboot then.

You should have done some reading before you started flashing ROM's. You dont seem to even know what fastboot is.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necropuppy:
Have you tried downloading the android sdk from Google and installing their usb driver?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:

I have a rooted gs3 that will sync contacts as long as I don't add any new ones to my phone. As soon as I add a contact I get a sync error. I've tried several different roms and all have the same problem. The only way to get the sync error to go away is to reinstall the rom, but again sync will only work until I add a contact.

My wife also has a gs3. Hers is not rooted and she has the same problem. To clear the problem I'd have to do a factory reset.

My Nook Simple Touch is on firmware 1.2 and has been rooted with NookManager. I downloaded the 1.2.1 update zip from the B&N website & copied it to the root directory of my Nook and have been patiently waiting for it to install for a week. Is there a way to force the upgrade or use CWM or NookManager to do it?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Did you try powering down/up your Nook?

CWM Recovery can install it too.

If you are using the original file, you might have to "toggle signatures".

I just strip off the first 0x1a3, 419 (dec) bytes off the file.

A standard zip file has "PK" as the first two bytes.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Something in the rooting process prevents the update from getting applied. The update will wipe out your root and system mods anyway so it might be easiest to recover back to stock, apply the update and reroot. If you back up your apps with Titanium Backup you can restore them afterward and its a pretty painless process.
[Nook Touch General] dwl99:
Thanks, all sorted now

Thanks! This worked, although stripping off the first few bytes was a bit too complicated for me.. I just unzipped and then re-zipped the files and then flashed that.
[Nook Touch General] gantenbein:
I would need a little help how exactly it worked. I'm in the same situation. I rooted with 1.2 with Nookmanager. Multitouch, Fastmode and NoRefresh and ezPDF are working fine, and I want to keep it that way.

How can I upgrade to 1.2.1. without going through the whole process again ? I have a Nookmanager SD with my backup and a separate CWM 2GB SD that I used to install the OC kernel for 174 and 166 earlier on. Also, of course I have the 1.2.1 update from B&N.

I guess I can install that zip with CWM, but how exactly ? I don't want to break my root if possible. I have already tried to go back to factory.zip with Nookmanager, then update to 1.2.1, but after restoring my Nookmanager backup I was back to 1.2

Thanks for help !
[Nook Touch General] Jiv_au:
That actually worked..! :eek:

419 bytes stripped from the front, leaving the firmware zip file starting with "PK".

(I was wondering why I couldn't open it using the Windows explorer - it was because of the 419 bytes of the signature).

Thank you very much.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
The Nexus 4 is awesome.... but the Camera is driving me nuts. It's the only reason why I haven't bought this phone yet and wonder wether the S3 or Nexus 4 is better for me.

When making pictures the difference isn't that big.. but ad video recordings the Nexus 4 is terribly bad.

So I wonder, since both have a 8MP camera, could get Nexus 4 camera become better by an optimized Android OS? E.g. in the next update?

I have seen a simliar happening with my HTC Desire HD.

Or is the camera simply not as good in the Nexus 4 compared to the S3 ?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
Depends what you use your camera for. The pictures I take either go up on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook. I'm just a casual picture taker. And no one has yet to complain on the quality of them, they are clear enough for the average joe. Besides, the difference between N4 and S3 pic quality isn't that huge.

Now if you're using it to actually print photos and such... Or if you're an amateur photographer, then I guess the best possible camera phone is best for you. Which in this case would be an S3 or HTC phone.

Like I said, it all depends what you're taking pics for.
