I'm running HyperDrive RLS 5 with the stock kernel and like the features but I am on my phone a lot and my battery is suffering. I've seen people getting 20+hours of battery life on their S3 with 3 to 4 hours of screen time. Right now I'm at 7 and half hours with 2 and a half hours of screen time. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, text, and phone calls. I'd like to keep with the phone but I have an upgrade and may jump ship. What Roms and kernel combos are you running that are yielding this stellar battery life I hear of? Please help before I do something brash and get a Motorola or even worse an iPhone, ugh!. Thanks guys! :confused::confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I run Carbon ROM +Ktoonz. I regularly get 4 hours of screen time.

My best battery life was from Synergy +Ziggy or Lean or Ktoonz. I got 5 hours of screen time.

iPhones have crap battery life, with no option to expand battery, undervolt, or underclock. How would that help you? You also can't freeze apps, make screen off profiles, etc. That's like getting a Dodge because your Honda wasn't reliable enough for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
Clean ROM and lean kernel does wonders for me

Device idle puts my at about 80% with very little use.

Battery will last all day with very very heavy use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] njmeyers83:
Thanks for the input, gonna give the ktoonsez kernel a spin. Hopefully this helps. PS I'd never go to an iPhone. I like technology not toys. #teamdroid
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
I have this set up but I feel as though I'm getting iffy battery life. I keep my screen pretty dim and am on consistent wifi 100% of the day with mobile data off, no games or any CPU intensive tasks, and I get maybe 15 or 16 hours of battery life with 2-3 hours of screen time. Perhaps that is good though? I keep seeing people write about 24 hour battery life and I just don't see how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
That's pretty good. Screen on is the most important stat. You could not touch it, put it in airplane mode and boast about how many hours. I would assume some of those people are forgetting to mention they have extended batteries or are charging at some point.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlikes08:
Carbon ROM with Ktoonsez kernel.

3 hours screen time.

hey guys I have the note 2 and I finally saw the nexus 4 in person and wow I was just wow its brighter then the note 2 going threw menus was just smooth! I can deal with stock andriod also I got a offer nexus 4 8gb for 175 for my note not sure if I should pull the tigger what do you guys think.

Stock Android. Updates directly from Google as they become available.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
Both are good... Depends on what you want. Personally I get bored with the plastic build of Samsung after a while. Only thing you will miss from Note 2 is the awesome camera and bigger battery. Camera is average in Nexus 4. Nexus rules them all with latest software and best xda dev support.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
There are cool features from Touchwiz which you may miss. The screenshare to Xbox 360 is pretty freakin cool.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dokukinoko:
What about the screen size change for you? Seems like most Note2 owner swears they can never downsize to anything smaller after using one. Personally, the biggest reason I'd switch from a Note 2 to a Nexus 4 is for cost savings. As stated, the N4's camera and battery life are certainly mediocre in comparison to the Note 2's.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrglass86:
i had the note 2, and my buddy still has it, which helps or else i would probably remember the note a little better than it actually is, that being said i lke my nexus 4 more, a larger screen is nice but for as long as the resolution is the same i dont mind it being on the smaller screen. and yeah its a little washed out and battery and cam lack, BUT after that i enjoy the feel, the onscreen buttons, jb 4.2, the dev community, Google wallet! and keeping track of less features often makes me use my phone in a more efficient manner, i think googles nexus program is perfect for learning to balance total customization and you 4X4 iphone screen, TW gets a little complicated though i understand it well. also coming from the note i didnt find the N4 to be washed out as much as i thought the note was way too vivid, just my 0.02 both are favs to me
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Overdose1986:

[General Questions and Answers] energiesrce:
So I was contemplating the tab 2 7.0 or the nexus 7 and the only thing that made me get the tab 2 was the ir blaster and the price but as I look at the custom rom world there's nothing for it. Nothing new not even its own section on here, so why is that?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] N-C:
Hi

I upgraded to JB at the weekend and before I did I backed up a few things.

My notes that I created using the Xperia Notes app were backed up (or so I thought) by sharing them to Google Drive.

It turns out that if you don't select a location when the drive dialogue box appears once you select share, even though My Drive is selected, then it won't save even though it appears that it has worked.

Anyway, I have lost some of my notes during the upgrade. I am wondering if there is a folder I can navigate to where the original notes would have been stored? I have looked buy can't find anything.

My old notes don't appear when I open the notes app, so I expect that they deleted for good or there is a new location for Notes since the upgrade.

Can anyone help please?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] k3u:
To start out, I just purchased a beautiful 60" Panasonic Viera Plasma for $699.99. It has no SmartTV functionality so I thought I would give Google a search about how to bypass this issue. Well, surely enough Android sticks popped up left and right. After seeing a bit of the same sticks over and over, I became familiar with some popular sticks such as the MK808, MK809, iMito MX1, iMito MX2, etc. etc. Now my concern is that which of ALL the Android sticks have the best stability in terms of WiFi. I've seen a lot of posts all around forums and other websites about WiFi not working after a week or a month or that the Android Stick is not capable of streaming videos all day. Which brings up my point of which stick/box should I settle with? I prefer something under $100 but if it means Toyota reliability and that stick/box is over $100, then I'll take it. I am only buying this stick because my mom loves to watch Asian dramas on her iPad but she has no idea how to use a computer (she's 65 this year) so this will be her first step of using something a bit more complex vs. her current iPad.

I was going to settle for the iMito MX2 but I thought posting a thread and letting the experts decide which would be a better suit for me would be ideal.

Minix Neo X5
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] player911:
I agree with the above even though I don't own the device. I have an MK808 and wifi had 1-2 bars when in the same room as my router.

Wifi mods are super easy to do if your creative... but out of the box I heard the box above is more at the top end of these sticks.

The MX series (1 and 2) are good too. The MK808 seems the fastest but definitely has its wifi issues out of the box. I believe they have a 3rd revision that corrects some of the wifi problems but still runs on the weak side.

Make note that the above is an android box and not a stick.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] k3u:
Okay, so that's the most stable Android box? What about the Zealz GK802? That goes for the same price but it is a QUAD core vs. the Minix Neo X5's dual core. Plus what's the main differences between a box and stick other than the form factor?
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] PoisonWolf:
Rock chip performs better than the quad in the zealz.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] sondeu:
Zealz GK802 is badly supported with the current Firmeware - there is a new FW expected to be published by end of February. Currently I would not recommend to buy the GK802. I do have a GK802 and a MK808 - I'm using the MK808... and waiting for the next FW for the Zeals and I'll give it another try.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] orateam:
bought a $35 UG802 from Amazon 2 weeks ago. Wifi was awful. Opened it up and saw a nice WIFI antenna in there trapped in the case. made a small hole in the case to allow the cable and Antenna to be outside and WOW. I now get 5 bars and my download on speedtest.net went from 3.5mbps to 28mbps (out of a 33max possible).
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] quincyquinn:
I think the you would be better off with the x5 I don't know how well android works with quad core, as for box v's stick the box will have more ports like USB and network with mic and audio on it as will. If it a stick look at MINIX neo g4 WiFi work great on it and some custom Roms are showing up now...

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] k3u:
Now my choices are between the MINIX X5 or the MINIX Neo G4. The G4 is priced at $62 with free 2 day shipping with shop runner or the X5 which is priced at $92 with 2 day shipping with shop runner. I also have 5% cash back with discover too. So... decisions, decisions. I want something that lasts for at least 1-3 years. My mom's going to be watching dramas on it everyday for at least 5 hours+.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] quincyquinn:

I've a Flexiview FV1 and was looking for to upgrade to Ug007 or MK809 II, but I see the iMito MX2 and Minix NEO X5 are better options, so after reading the whole thread, I think I'll order a minix neo x5

[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Toyeboy:
I just ordered a Minix x5 from Newegg $89. Seems to be the best so far from what I've been reading, especially wifi reliability. I just wanted a computer for my room and this is much cheaper plus I love messing around with android.

I also have no probs, altho my tv, a sony bravia, sometimes get a lil twitchy when I run the system in 1080p as default. It took me a sec to figure out how to get the x5 to pick up the 5g signal from the router but since its dedicated to my x5 it runs smooth. I'd also recommend just going ahead and getting the minix air mouse remote control, ive tried a few others but it seems to work the best with it, at least for games.

has anyone used the gbox mx2 xbmc box?

i am new to this android tv stuff and after reading the previous posts i would like to know more about these

i have done some research on you tube

i am undecided on the gbox or the Minix NEO X5

i found a rooted Gbox on craigslist and a neo but not sure which one to get

any help would be appreciated
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] lewy20041:
you will probably get better xbmc support on gbox midnight but neo x5 its nice unit to.

also there is now minix x7 to get.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] vlevi:
But the neo x5 is not a "stick". In my opinion, the kr-42 device must be better, than the x5. It has large extenal antenna, quad core, 2G RAM, ...
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] Mike_77:
I have the Minix X7, and it has been very solid. My wifi signal is great, and with the latest ROM, I am able to stream 1080p wirelessly. Additionally, finlessbob has a true 1080p ROM (which I haven't installed yet) that improves on the stock ROM which is supposed to perform even better.

Although this is the first Android Stick/Box I've purchased, I've been very happy with it. The only downside I've discovered so far is that the remote that comes with the X7 is inadequate. But, if you already have an air mouse (Mele F10 Pro anyone?), or even an android phone (install the rockchip remote app) you can do anything you need to do.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kHiTe:
Like many people I have dozens of USB leads and chargers. As others have noted the Nexus 4 seems to be overly fussy.

Using Battery Monitor Widget I have discovered that the only lead which enables me to use Google Navigation and not Discharge whilst plugged in to the Car is the lead that came with the 4. The difference after significant testing was fairly large between different leads. Before I had the bright idea of using the included lead I also went through several different in Car USB converters.

I have no idea why the Nexus 4 is fussier than my S3 was - unless it just drew less power. My Nexus 7 is also sensitive it would seem.

So can anyone recommend a solid quality charging lead for use in Car or in the house - ideally a bit longer than average. Especially if it is tried and tested with 4 or 7! I am in the UK but I am sure I can get hold of pretty much anything.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
no hee if talking about why it didn't display at all, not why it doesn't have the extended options.

I ran across this using the stock ROM when I first got my second replacement T989. Only way to fix is to reflash the ROM.

If your phone is rooted easy enough just be sure to wipe system data and both cache and dalvick cache.

If not rooted look for a full download of newest install (usually install Samsung kies on a computer, run it, and in tools menu with phone connected and drivers installed it has an option to do a full or clean flash of newest ROM version.

Stock ROM has a power menu, but only has like power off and airplane mode, it is different than custom ROMs that include restart to recovery and any other custom options the developers build in.

Please delete this thread.

I just bought the Note 2 a couple days ago and I've noticed something. I can't figure out if its a problem with the phone, a software bug or a charger problem. When I plug in a charger it will take up to 10 to 20 seconds for the phone to beep and recognize that I actually plugged the charger in. Same for when I unplug it, it will still say charging for a few seconds before it goes away. Is this a known problem or am I the only one seeing this issue?

[Nook Touch General] taupehat:
I've got a simple touch that got stepped on, now Joseph Conrad has an interesting hairdo (can see where the crack is).

I've got ADB installed and working well for my other (various) Android devices, so using that is an option if I can figure out the Nook side.

The light next to the USB port goes on when I plug the Nook in, so there's some logic working in there.

Questions:

Can someone suggest a way to test if the device is good excepting the screen?

Is it worth replacing the screen on this device and if so, where could I find one?

Assuming screen replacement isn't an option, I'm considering random fun projects for this hardware. Anyone got recommendations?

The first random fun project I'm thinking of would be a WiFi repeater, mostly because I need one in the house here. Total awesomeness would be getting DD-WRT working on it :)

if u expert in adb ... then u can use and install program named "screenshot" and then run it and take print screen from ur nook and pull pic from ur sd card from screenshot directory .... all that via adb
