DISCLAIMER AS PER USUAL: YOU DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Although procedure itself is simple enough, but as alway, anything involving flashing, especially firmware has it's risks.

Oki doki. Time to come out in the open :)

Prelude. I was hard pressed to get 4h screen on time in 10-12h off charger. Then i screwed something up (irrelevant :p) and had to reflash stock images.

Now my next findings are sure to attract so flaming from more experienced users that will say "it's placebo", "it doesn't work like that" etc. While I don't have screenies to confirm pre flash stats, i have gathered a few post flash stats. Here we go.

Some cycles are missing, since i either accidently deleted screenies or forgot to take them. But that should give you a general idea. WiFi used mainly, apart from last cycle, where 12 were on data only and the rest was while connected to wifi and reading a book in fbreader.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

And this is ROM/KERNEL i used before and after flashing images. Note, kernel has been updates since, but it didn't make much difference.

So for me it's fairly conclusive, reflashing stock images has GREATLY improved my battery life. I had a few chats and we came to a conclusion that it is possible that at the factory device has simply not been flashed "properly", mass flashing differs from your usual .img flashing normally.

What you think...Well, it's up to you for decide. I know few more people who've done the same, and while their improvement is not as drastic as mine, it is still an improvement.

Please vote AFTER you try it, and after min of 2 cycles.

How to in post no2
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Simply follow this great guide by efrant. Keep in mind it will wipe your storage, so backup all the pics and other stuff.

Before you do it, take below quote into consideration if you use google wallet.

efrants guide

People who are more experienced will know how to cut corners ;) If you don't know what you are doing, I suggest you follow efrants guide to the letter. This way you'll learn a fair bit too.

Same process for every images version. Also, I ALWAYS do it for any images update, since I'm not a believer in patching. I might be wrong, but hey, it works for me. So my personal recomendation would be to redo this after every new OTA.

So:

1. Backup your "SD" contents.

2. Flash ALL stock images as per efrants guide (or any other way if you know how to)

3. You are most likely to get stuck on boot. Hold power button, shut down, reboot into recovery. Once you see broken droid hold power button and tap +vol. Once in recovery do factory reset. If you don't get stuck on boot, still do it.

4. Boot on stock. It's a good idea to transfer your rom and kernel onto sd now since you can't mount sd in recovery.

5. Reboot into bootloader and proceed to push recovery and then flash your previous setup (ROM/KERNEL)/

How to push recovery.

fastboot flash recovery recovery-image-name.img

I will not tolerate any flaming, just report if it worked for you or it didn't. If you want to stir some **** you better go elsewhere. Chit chat related to the topic is approved and appreciated :)

I want to mention DowntownJeffBrown, DirtyHamster, ctowe, Jayrod1980, siloner, estallings15 and anyone else I forgot (just remind me in the thread) for being the beta bunnies :) Thank you.​

I'm gonna try this and report thre results. Were you on auto-brightness, sync, gps...? Give us some more infos about what your configurations are :)

Thank you for the tip, I'll try.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
All on auto, the only two things i have disabled is gnow and location reporting (which is primarily used for gnow anyway) and had that disabled from day one. The rest of the settings are irrelevant, since they are the same from before i reflashed stock.
[Nexus 4 General] superleeds27:
Interesting, be good to see what others report.

If i hear a few good reports, i might take the plunge next week.

Edit: might just be Rasbean jelly giving you good battery life!
[Nexus 4 General] -Asskicker-:
Cool, I'll give it a try and see what it does! :)

I'm struggling to get +4 hours of battery life ATM, so let's hope this helps.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
It's not. Wait till some Americans who done the same thing wake up :)

There are about 4-5 more people who report the same, that's why i decided to share. Had to make sure first that it's not a fluke.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

The thing that's helping battery life here isn't the reflash, it's the factory reset that happened when you did it.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
I would tend to agree. But which would be the cause, removed culprit user installed app(s) or something not set as intended from factory as a result of mass flash/ reset etc at factory? Or both?

Maybe even a difference between OTA updating new units after setup or before?

Would be easy to test the theory by just doing a factory reset without re-flashing and see if it makes a difference.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I did think of that. Thing is flashing ROM fresh IS factory reset. Factory reset doesn't do more than delete all the data and maybe reflash /system. So i disagree with you here Rusty. Think about it. I took my time to carefully evaluate changes, and you might know from my time in Sensation forum that I do look into things before posting it.

See above.

Also, apps have nothing to do with it, since my (and other people) setup is identical to what it was before doing that.

And thanks to the person voting NO. I guess following simple request is too difficult. :(

If you guys are sceptical, do it before you do next fresh install since you don't lose anything and report back.
[Nexus 4 General] jonup:
Thanks for posting this! Very interesting if others are experiencing the same. I will try it when I get time. What do you think is the improvement? Did you restore a nandroid or did you manually reinstall everything? Thx bro!
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

I can vouch for this experiment that we somehow agreed to without even hesitating lol.

Personally, i manually installed EVERYTHING. no nandroid or titanium back up. Before i would get roughly 9hr phone usage with 2.5-3 hrs battery. After going through this i now get 13-14hrs phone usage with 4-4.5 screen on. I know that's normal for some but compared to what i had before, is an improvement. This was just in the first cycle. I'm on my second and wool report back when I'm done
[Nexus 4 General] superleeds27:
As it stands i can hit 5 n half hours with round a day standby.

Would it be worth doing?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

Not sure. But someone already had very decent battery life and extended it by another 0.5-1h screen on. I guess you wouldn't lose anything if you tried. Just a half an hour of setting things up.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

+1 I've seen their posts.

Make a nandroid. You have nothing to lose but time. It's the weekend anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Dont want to say anything but on screenshoots there is practically no apps other than browser or taptalk, play a game, watch a clip on YT, listen to some music ohh and switch off WiFi. Phone is to be used outside where you dont have a WiFi, At home I have my Laptop that is far much better than than a phone to read stuff, and XBox that is far much better for gaming....

I could probably pull 8h screen if I switch everything off sans WiFi and just have web browser opened on one page.

Ohh And I'm on stock since day 1 + had to reflash image due to kernel net being compatibile with screen sensitivity driver .... No changes, What you have on images wont repeat itself outdoors.

Look at that screen where you dont have WiFi on. Your usage dropped by 8hrs screen time by 1hr and still no phonecalls, txt, nothing really.... just chrome

I get 3hrs 30min screen + 17hrs usage with music in bacground, quick game + and reading, no reception for about 8hrs or if there is any its 1bar....(and that drains the battery)
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

Ok. I think I have to explain something. This is absolutely not about how or what for phone is used. I used it in the same way before I flashed images.

Concentrate on the MAIN thing. Same usage, same rom and kernel, same settings, same apps. The only difference is battery life after flashing stock images files. Immediately.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

Yeah, he totally missed the point. Same usage, but better battery life. This is not a battery life comparison thread.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

Spot on.

Screenies are there just to show consistency.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Re: [BATTERY IMPROVEMENT] Works 100% so far.

Well, I guess poll won't reflect true outcome. This is annoying since I do it for you guys. I get no benefit from sharing that, I don't ask for donations or thanks, don't ask for credit. I just want people to enjoy great battery life I'm enjoying.

"Thanks" guys....

[Windows 8 General] Deleted member 1137695:
The following happened in W7, but I also experience this in W8:

I only use IE10 for my work-related Office Outlook Web Access.

When I attach a file to an email, the "Choose File to Upload" screen pops up.

When the Desktop content is listed, these files are shown in the Tiles View (see attachment).

Showing the content of any other folder but the Desktop, files are shown in the List View, as I want it to be.

If I change the Desktop content to be shown in the List View, pick a file to attach, and then try to attach a 2nd file, the content is back in Tiles View again.

This only happens with the Desktop.

And I don't experience this when using Google Chrome (or any other browser).

So my question: Is there a way to set the preferred view (e.g. List View) for the Desktop content in IE10, and that this setting is finalised?

Hi Guys, new to this so please indulge me a little!

Purchased two GT-P5100 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2s for the kids, checked the software version using *#1234# and received this:

AP: P5100UBALD4

CP: P5100UBLD4

CSC: P5100UUBALD4

Connect them to kies and it displays: latest firmware version: PDA:LD4 / PHONE:LD4 / CSC:LD4 (TTT)

Checked these at SamMobile:

GT-P5100 - Trinidad and Tobago

PDA: P5100UBALD4

CSC: P5100UUBALD4

Version: 4.0.3

Modified: 2012-04-17

Checked in firmware and files for Australian version (XSA) and found that here sammobile. com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P5100&pcode=XSA&os=1&type=3#firmware

Downloaded the firmware and flash programs files. Flash programs contained odin3 V1.87 and signed_espresso_20120220_16G.pit Firmware file contained: P5100XWALE3_P5100XSAALE1_P5100XXLD7_HOME.tar.md5

Put the tab into download mode after shutting down using power+volume right then volume left to enter odin mode.

Connected the tab with the usb cable, attached the pit file using PIT button then attached the md5 file using the PDA button. Re-partition deselected, auto-reboot & f.reset time were both selected, flash lock not selected. Pressed the start button. Process completed and the tab rebooted as normal.

Tried using *#1234# and received this:

AP: P5100XWALE3

CP: P5100XXLD7

CSC: P5100XSAALE1

When I connected to Kies I now see this:

"Your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.

Current firmware version: PDA:LE3 / PHONE:LD7 / CSC:LE1 (TTT)

I assumed rightly or wrongly that the country designator should have changed to XSA. Does anyone have any idea if I have missed something in the process?

I checked Setting > About Device:

Model Number:

GT-P5100

Android version:

4.0.3

Baseband version:

Kernel version:

dpi@DELL170#1

Build Number:

Within status, device status is normal

Appreciate any advice you can offer.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m3i:
all that you do its correct, you dont miss enything.

Maybe your tab was imported from another region, and that's happened when you try to update with kies(not supported)

Don't worry, i'll be waiting for kies(or OTA) to update my tab from last year...and nothing.

Last week i get my tab updated with odin and fw from samfirmware.
