[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
first off, that facebook app is the probably one of the worst behaving apps out there, it LOVES to drain battery when youre not using it. ive been using the browser for facebook for a long time now. one day i got fed up with the facebook app when i literally didnt open it for a month but noticed that during one battery cycle it drained 17% of my battery. there are lots of apps available, some are written/optimized better than others. youll just have to find those that behave well and behave badly, and get rid of the badly behaving apps. that will come with time and your experience.

also, i try to use minimally apps that have notification or run in the background. the only notifications that i use are gmail and talk. all other notifications i disable. having a lot of different apps that are checking for notification all the time will also lower battery life. really, there are a lot of variables for battery life, too many in fact. since i have root, i also delete a bunch of system apps that i dont use, they eat battery too. like the calandar, the email(not gmail) app, certain live wallpapers, nfc(i dont use nfc), tags, and more. anything i dont need goes. speaking of root, thats why notification area is different. with root, you are in complete control of your device. you can modify it any way you want. custom roms/kernels also give you more control of your device, as well as a more optimized device. but take your time considering root. if you do decide to go that way, take your time and learn about what root is and what you can do with it. dont rush into it.

im not going to go on typing here, as i have dinner and an adult beverage waiting for me. ill keep an eye on this thread in case you have more questions
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rm79:
You ROCK. Thanks so much for the nice reply...

BTW, my device is unlocked/rooted - it was the first thing I did when I got it (used Nexus 7 Toolkit v4.0.0). I wanted to unlock it ASAP so that if in the future I want to load some custom ROM or something I won't have to delete *everything*. I figured I'd root it and install busybox while I was at it.

Enjoy your dinner and your adult beverage! If you get a second tomorrow I'd appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction to modify that notification bar. I expected Nova Launcher to let me do that, but it's a simple on/off thing. I want it to stay on, but I want to change what's displayed on the right side.

Have a great night!

i use the rasbean jelly rom(and the trinity kernel) which comes with its own choice of modifications and tweaks. plus the trinity kernel is highly optimized(great on battery and on performance).

Do try manual brightness setting.

Auto Brightness is not very useful (too bright), and it makes up for it by being not very good (flicker).

Manual saves a bunch on battery life.

i am also disappointed with battery life. for me 4 hours is avg i get. after about 2 hours of screen time, battery drained down from 100% to 56%. and i set brightness to minimum. All auto sync is off. attaching the screen capture. I know people gonna hate when i mention tablet from fruit company, but the mini version of it goes on for about 8 hours of use.

Does anyone else experience maps screwing with their phone?

View attachment 1633468

The image shows 6h20m of usage, my Maps app keeps starting on its own and is keeping my phone awake.

Even after I force close and remove all maps related services.

Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve advanced task killer and the likes?

I'm on CM10, with 4.2.1 gapps.

Well, if you bought the phone in EU and that it can't be proven that what you've done software-wise has caused a hardware fault.

http://fsfe.org/freesoftware/legal/flashingdevices.en.html

I just thought of something. What if the eMMC craps out? Because Samsung confirmed it's because of a software fault that can cause a hardware fault. Paradox? :p
[Galaxy S III General] htcsnap93:
Also, of you have a warranty of 1 year (I dont know if samsung has 2 or 1 year warranty) in Europe the expectation of the life of a phone which costs more than 250€ is more than 2 years. That the manufacturer is still responsible.

There have been warranty cases where iphones died after a year but the rules say it was Apples fault. Altough apple *****ed a lot they were forced to repair those devices
[Galaxy S III General] brainimpact:
All New goods are covered for two years EU guarantee

its the LAW under the Sale of Goods ACT. Any shop or Company telling you otherwise are breaking the LAW

if anything happens that you are not responsible for causing, they have no choice but to fix it or give you the equivalent as a replacement, even if they suspect you may be at fault they have to provide evidence or they can not say NO.

Some place will sell with a 1 year warranty but even so they are responsible for 2 years whether they like it or not so do not get fooled by their tricks and Quote the LAW to them.
[Galaxy S III General] esist:
Good link, thanks for the post.

I already knew this, but I get quite annoyed by even developers propagating the myth that everywhere, no matter what, once you flash "Your warranty is now void", even putting it in the instructions as a fact
[Galaxy S III General] Dinty:
Agree with you here, but we still need to be careful, because not all countries have the same legal protections.

Even here in Australia, it's still quite a grey legal area and tech companies will use any trick in the book to find loopholes in the legislation and get away with voiding warranties.

Therefore, I think it's probably better to err on the side of caution and advise people that they may void their warranty depending on their jurisdiction.
[Galaxy S III General] thegh0sts:
i think it should be applied world wide cos it's a known fault in the 16gb models and they should fix it regardless of whether the phone was rooted or not.

i wouldn't mind an upgrade to 32gb though. :D
[Galaxy S III General] CSeb95:
My two cents regarding this issue :

Here are more informations :

Read this : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36530300&postcount=3004

and this (usefull blog and the european directive) : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36537218&postcount=3018

I've sent samsung french customer service two mails asking for samsung official position regarding this european directive, no answer yet

(Cause either the first hotline level or certified repair centers told you that rooted= no warranty )
[Galaxy S III General] JigsawJay:
Some of the advice in this thread isn't strictly accurate. In the UK the sale of goods act states the goods must be fit for purpose and free from material defects. This is the case with all goods sold and is implied regardless of what the store says. Also - your contract is with the store not Samsung under SGA. If you run the phone over with a car you can't rely on the SGA. If you brick it because of a bad rom flash its going to largely be down to what reason you give that it was bricked and when it happened (inside or outside initial 9months) They will argue you have not used the phone for its intended purpose and your actions caused it to brick. Ultimately a Court would have to decide if you sued.

Also whilst it's true a warranty isn't necessarily 1 year and can be more its what the court determines as a "reasonable period" taking into account the cost and type of good sold. I think this may differ from EU directive as to how it's been implemented in UK although it's been awhile since law school heh.

Tbh would you really want to take a shop to court over you bricking your phone when they refused to fix or provide you with a new one outside initial 6months?? Esp given they'd argue you were then one who causes the failure because you used it in a way not envisaged when you bought it?

Reality of life is that you can get all jumpy about consumer rights but you have to have the balls and money and time to enforce them. Most people don't and definitely don't if there's a chance of losing and being ordered to pay other sides costs.

"All New goods are covered for two years EU guarantee its the LAW under the Sale of Goods ACT"

As I'm just about to send my SGSIII off for repair (due to random restarts and crashes, which I fear may be the beginning of "SDS") I've just been looking at the guarantee booklet that came with the phone when I first got it and it does indeed say that the warranty is two years.

As I've had the phone rooted I'm kinda expecting them to turn around and say it isn't covered by warranty but I'm fully prepared to tell them it is (as I saw somebody else on here had done) and see what they say from there. Hopefully they won't question it though (I'm pretty sure it's not me flashing software on it that's causing the crashes and restarts because the first time it restarted of it's own accord was at least a week (and probably longer than that) after I'd flashed the last firmware (and it's always been "stock" firmware I've used anyway (i.e. firmware from Samsung themselves - even if sometimes it wasn't the final version)).
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
To be honest, if you flash it do it's completely stock and the issue persists it should be a hardware failure, and the only reason the hardware would fail because of rooting/custom roms is overclocking the CPU/GPU and frying them.

Let us know how it goes.
[Galaxy S III General] sgsboyo:
Samsung eventually got back to me regarding the repair of my phone and have refused to fix it without me paying for the service (£163) because it was rooted.

Needless to say I'm less than happy. They persisted with saying that rooting voids the warranty and wouldn't back down.

I'm furious because I'm aware of all the sudden death syndrome problems affecting this phone and i wish I'd kept using it till it did actually die before sending it off to them to repair.

But I've learned a costly lesson and won't be rooting while in warranty again (and may very well have bought my last Samsung smart phone).

:(
[Galaxy S III General] pyroraptor:
That is a very informative and useful tip. Unfortunately, most people think that software modifications void the warranty under EU jurisdiction. Apparently that's not the case. Thanks op.
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
I'm sorry but this is only a directive... after this in each country has to pass their own law in order to comply with directive... sometimes not every country make this last step. I'm thinking for ex UK that don't comply for the 2 years warranty for consumer products. Other country, mine (Portugal), is very avid in forgeting to make laws to comply with EU directives...

Just saying, careful cause in your country their may not have a law that comply with this EU directive.
[Galaxy S III General] htcsnap93:
You should moan about the directive stated in shawtys post and never play along.
[Galaxy S III General] sgsboyo:
My latest response from the Samsung "care" team yesterday:

" Thank you for contacting Samsung, I am sorry that you feel this way about the product.

*

I appreciate that you are saying that rooting the phone has not caused this issue, however by rooting the phone the warranty has been voided.* As a result, this repair and all future repairs will be chargeable.

*

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of further assistance."

So without spending more cash on trying to pursue my rights I'm stuck. No more rooting for me, and I just hope this bloody phone lasts till the end of my contract without needing any more repairs (May 2014).

[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Thats the be all and end all of the root warranty topic . EU says yes Samsung says no .

As its written into Samsung warranty and part of the repair checking process it has to be a court case .

However unless Samsung is the vendor then its not their problem anyway as the law apply s to the vendor .You pursue the vendor for claims not Samsung who are offering an additional limited warranty on top of your lawful warranty / guarantee sale of goods etc from the vendor .

[Galaxy S III General] sgsboyo:
Yes it's been a costly mistake on my part going direct to Samsung when I just thought it would be quicker. Never again.
[Galaxy S III General] sgsboyo:
Just realised tonight, since my phone is no longer covered by warranty I'm free to root it and do whatever I want with it. Shame that's kinda lost its appeal. Need new inspiration!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockerrock:
I'm really unhappy with Sprint in my hometown I just moved back to. I put my old Atrix 4G on Net10 for $50/mo and ATT's HSDPA+ network blows Sprint away, even sprint LTE in Indiana.

My thoughts are to get a broken screened Note 2 ATT variant and swap out the motherboard. Correct me if I'm wrong but it should be a straight swap (including the back bezel for sim card). I'll keep my old SPR motherboard around in case the SIM card slot mod ends up working for US networks and as a backup. Think it'll work?

For clarification, this is in no way illegal as I'm not doing anything to the IMEI/ESN, I want to swap all internal circuitry, like a reverse screen swap.

Any blockers I should be aware of?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Is there any way to force the GMail app to download email as soon as it arrives, rather than waiting for me to go into the app and look at it, and wait for it to download at that point? The standard behaviour is a waste of my time!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
It does download emails fully when autosync is enabled. Sometimes going into the app doesn't load the mail immediately and it looks like it's downloading, but you'll see that if you go back once and return to the mail it loads immediately. That's a bit annoying, but it's not downloading the mail only when you view it, that's for sure. If you're asking about Gmail delivering push emails without autosync enabled, then that's not possible. It has always needed autosync to be enabled to receive push emails, otherwise you have to go manually and refresh to see new mails. I wish that Gmail could deliver mails without autosync, like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenge, but it can't right now.

there's a billion threads on the 0 folder thing. use search.

This reply i dont mind, but i see you guys didnt understnad my question, i was on 4.2.1 before and i didnt have a problem, now theres the 0 folder and (all the files in the zero folder) are on the root of the SD card is what im trying to say ... so when lets say temple run is running it wont read the files from the /0/Android but SD Card/Android do you udnerstand now? i know the way to do it is to reformat or atleast thats what my cousin did to his i was just trying to see if theres any other way around this as i just flashed last night and set it up and dont want to reset it up again T_T and @ Zepius why would you just repost what EddyOS just posted above you? Why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
That's not what the OP says now is it!?!?! :D

The old folders will be left behind but they should be copied into the '0' folders as well. It's easier to format and then restore the data using TB or something similar (I'd imagine, I don't game on my phone so never worry about it!!)

As for Zepius - he probably didn't see what I'd posted ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
this. cause you edited your post :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The 0 folder has always been there for 4.2 plus. It's for multi user. If you had searched and actually read a thread or two you'd know that.

You'd also know to either live with it since it's the future or get rid of it the usual way.

That's why everyone is (correctly, might I add) telling you to search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ed116:
Maybe you should do a little reading of your own, like to what i posted, i Dont care about the 0 folder, im trying to say i CANT ACCESS MY DATA cause there is a 0 folder and All the android folders do you not understand?! whats with people being so aggresssive you cant even get help .. this is what a forum is for .... youre telling em to search but i keep getting multiuser 0 ... i dont care about that ... read my post THEN reply ... dont assume after seeing 0 i am just asking what the 0 folder is for .. i know its for multi user i can read ...

Edit: Honestly forget this thread, clearly you cant come here to ask questions without being attacked to use the search button as if its wasting your time and money ... didnt know this was a place for only professionals that know everything there is to know about anything ... will ask else where next time ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
Then why didn't you remove it yourself? There is an entire thread dedicated to getting back to the old file structure?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
1) it has nothing to do with not being able to ask question, it has to do with following the rules of the forum. if you had said you looked at some of the threads by using search and didnt find the answer you needed, it would be different. the fact that your original post just had to do with the structure of the /0/ folders and not where your game content was pulling it from made a difference

2) this forum was originally founded for development for the O2 XDA phone so they could unlock the extra features, it was not started as a helpdesk

3) your mannerism/response are the reason people are being hostile towards you. the fact that you stated refused to use search said it all.
