[HTC Sensation] hellfire191:
Hi, I bought a sensation a couple of weeks ago, and have since then switched the rom a couple of times.

The problem I face is excessive battery use on my phone.

This seems to be regardless of the rom I am on as it seems to drop at a constant one to two percent a minute on any rom.

I have calibrated my battery numerous times and it doesn't seem to make a difference. So finally I have resorted to asking the community.

I have also bought a second battery which didn't solve the problem either.

Also, sometimes the battery will stay on a percentage for a couple of minutes.

I hope that you may have the answer, thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] sy224048:
Ask the screen.
[HTC Sensation] LeMuecke:
AW: Why does my phone have excessive battery use?

Maybe root your phone, install another ROM, another kernel, look for the big problems in the battery section...

There are so much ways to get a better battery lifetime :)

Bought the iBolt Car mount. Are there any MODs out there like music automatically turning on when plugged in or anything else? Gracias!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
If your using HTC's Car app, there's an option already selected when a Bluetooth device is connected, and when the phone is docked, it starts music automatically.

I'll grab a pic in a second.

Sorry XDA wouldn't let me upload the pic, so I had to do it with tapatalk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
I had a hard time finding a dock that will automatically launch dock mode, so I just slapped an nfc tag on a universal mount and that does the trick. Couple it with tasker and you can make it do just about anything you want.

I want to add another line on my account, and will pretty much give me either phones for free.

Which would you prefer?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Depends on your needs I guess.. a more "hackable" phone (Nex4) by a somewhat crap manufacturer in my opinion.. (LG -.-) or like a more powerful phone.. and I assume coming from this Samsung phone.. (Blaze) you'll find the Note 2 more... native.. I think is the word...? Lol. I'd go with the note 2... or wait GSIV or something. (;
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Fwiw the note 2 has a few blaze folks if familiarity is a factor - ptmr has a few of his jedi roms, and I've muddled something together as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jbats:
Yeah I heard the nexus 4 has a speaker issue with buzzing. Plus its lg, need I say more.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] johnb380:
The note 2 is freaking massive IMO its a mini tablet I could of got a pretty new one for 250 off contract but it was just not my cup of tea sweet phone but me I really don't want a phone much bigger than 4.5 inches and that thing is 5.5 ugh... me I'd go with the nexus 4 u get aosp 4.2 out of the box and the screen is beautiful on the nexus 4 it has better than HD res it blows the iPhone 5s retina away... Go Google...but I have had bad experiences with LG phones but have heard good things about the Nexus 4 and a few bad but any phone will have arguments for both sides u just have to do a pros and cons list and read reviews and try them both out... just holding the note 2 I knew I'd drop it waaay to much and I wouldn't have insurance so... but put me down for a nexus 4

Nexus hands down. The Ubuntu for phones will be out (meaning the nexus phones will get early release soon) and that will be one of the prime phones to test it on. I know it will be out for others, but the nexus line will be the most updated. I personally feel the gn2 is too big to keep in my pocket, but that's me.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Yeah the size of the note 2 is definitely not for everyone and should definitely be taken into account in the decision process. N4 wasn't available when I got the note 2 though so my choice was easy lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Hmmm.....

:)

May just have to get that Note 2
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Bah...Those ****ers lied to me. Its a S3 Vs Nexus 4.

the ***** did tell me the note. ugh.

I am now thinking the Nex 4. Its 50 bucks. Not too bad.

My wife loves my GN2 so much that she has abandoned Apple. Shes been with iphone since the first one. We ordered her Note 2 last night. Another iSheep wakes up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
But in all seriousness, I just changed my wife from a Mac addict to an Android lover. She saw my Note2, but couldn't handle the size. (ba dum bump) But she insisted I get her the SGS3. She's in love. Every damn day now it's "omg! I didn't know it could do this!", "did you know there was an app for that!! and a widget! I <3 widgets!!"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] monkeybone12:
Too funny. I grabbed her the Tmo slider G1. No data on that or the MTouch 3G. Finally after years, she's on sprint with data. She's so cute how excited she is to have a baller phone AND data service.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjc2233:
My wife won't let me near hers. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
The funny thing is, that this phone was already a beast without root. I'm not dissing apple cause it's a great phone but my thing is, there are so many more options.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jonotwist:
I had a friend who was Iphone 5 all the way. He even ran his mouth how dumb of a decision it was. untill i bought it and he couldnt keep his hands off.

its interesting to see how attractive the GN2 is once all the people who down it change once the have it in their hands.

OP root it while she sleeps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
My girl has iphone4 and says she has no special loyalty to Apple so I had her play with my note 2 a bit. The size is way too big for her hands, comical really, but that's no problem there are other great phones.

You know what it came down to? Bejeweled Blitz.

She plays that game constantly and there is no equivalent in the android market.

There are several bejeweled clones and one real bejeweled2 from EA, but it turns out they all suck.

The apple version is perfectly responsive. Every time you touch anything it reacts immediately no matter what else is going on elsewhere on the screen at the same time. But on my phone it won't even register trying to swipe new jewels until the explosion animations from the last move are all done playong out. This is on a note2 that's even somewhat debloated because I deleted all the services and junk for weather, stocks, social integration, allshare, sysscope, smart device manager and touchwiz. There can't possibly be a cpu issue. And this was the real game from EA/PopCap not the small indipendents.

I never play any games so I would never have noticed this. But just watching her try to play a simple game on the supposedly highest end badest badassest uber phone was pretty embarassing.

She actually said it's not necessarily a deal breaker but I believe in quality of life. If that's what she likes and Android can't provide it then that's all there is to it. Guess she gets an iphone 5 even though she lives with an Apple hating unix sys admin. :)

I actually blame Apple more than Android or the game developers. Apple forces developers to choose only one platform to invest their limited resources by blocking use of cross platform tools, and few developers can really afford to support multiple platforms the hard way without cross platform tools.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] crookshanks:
There's nothing wrong with Apple products. They cost more and it's a closed box but it if you download something from the App Store, it works. No force close, no lag, nothing to complain about. The tablet apps are actually designed for tablets and for the most part they get updated with every iteration of iOS.

I love my Note and the Galaxy S2, Thunderbolt and Fascinate that came before it but I've never once got pissed off at an iPhone because the lock screen wouldn't come on without lag or the gallery froze the phone. The gallery in MA7 makes me want to punch a baby in the face.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Man you got that right. Me too. +1 !

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------

Actually apps on her phone crash all the time. Depends on the app. We both use a unique app called guidebook. The android version works fine for me on both my ltevo with gb and the note2 with jb, but it crashes constantly on her ip4.

And half of her apps are old because they now require ios5 or later. She's on ios4 so she can't update any of those any more. And she doesn't want to update ios because she has good google maps right now.

The closed nature and vendor lock in and nanny app blocking ultimately causes more problems than it solves. It's ultimately a self-defeating dead end. It's only good for one thing, making a few people money right now. It's bad for both users and developers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Lol apple has force closes they just dont tell their sheep cuz the assume they are dumb enough if a dialog doesn't show they'll just assume they caused the app to disappear :rolleyes:. Theres nothing about apple at all appealing. They steal peoples opensource work close it up rush to grab a baseless patent and then sue the original creators into submission, its pathetic and their business practices are akin to that of organized crime, disgusting really.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
Apple v. Android discussions are getting tired. To consider Apple as pure garbage is foolish, and to completely write off Android is just as foolish. Both have their followers for different reasons- who cares?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Apples issues have nothing to do with android. Apples issues lie solely on apples shoulders with their crooked business practices. Giving apple your money is no different than giving it to the mob.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
Yep that's a solid argument.

Please tell me more about how you only support companies with pure business practices. Or perhaps how you speak out about all crooked business practices, and not only Apple.

I would imagine a thorough review of Google and their business practices may enlighten you- but that wouldn't be fun, would it?

FIGHT THE MAN!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
It's impossible to avoid patronizing companies run by bad people that do bad things.

It's not imossible to try. It only requires you care.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
Then quit being hypocritical- acting like using Android makes you a saint vs. Apple is a joke, plain and simple.

The fact of the matter is current patent law in America is disgusting. Can you blame Apple for exploiting what is terrible law? Absolutely not. Same argument a majority of the people are making against the rich and the current tax code.

Fact of the matter is a majority, if not all, people here are making an argument based solely on emotion. To state it in terms more complex than "Android v. Apple" is, at best, false.

Give it a rest.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Well most companies don't buy themselves frivolous patents and then use them to sue their competitors into submission. They usually work harder and pay people who have the skills to put them ahead instead of trying to cheat their way to the top. :rolleyes: there's a difference between companies cutting costs by outsourcing work and companies cutting costs by stealing the work.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
As I mentioned, the patent law in America is disgusting. I find it hard to fault a company for exploiting it though- instead I rest the blame on those who enacted it.

If, as you mention, the work was stolen- one could assume the original work could have and should have been patented under the ridiculous patent laws.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Hah. What are you talking about? I never said any such thing. Give what a rest exactly? I think you should take your own advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Apple didnt exploit the patent system, they bought a clerk to get patents they should have never received to begin with. USPTO is auditing all of apples patents currently and so far 80% of them will be lost due to them being too generic and broad. Hell they got a patent for how the end user can use the device. I personally know someone who lost everything because of apple. And I mean everything. Apple stole his work and then sued him into oblivion. They took everything he owned in court claiming he stole the code from them. The funny thing is I watched this man write the code from scratch, a blank input field to over 200, 000 lines of code

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Wups your ignorance is showing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
That is exactly what exploiting the system is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
I think by "bought a clerk" he meant they bought a clerk in the patent office.

That isn't exploiting the patent system, it's subverting it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
a. If someone could show proof of such accusations rather than tired conjecture I would be more inclined to agree, and;

b. The fact that the patents were filed and, as most recent court opinions would agree, legitimate, one could assume the problem was within the system, not a perversion of it.

The system is flawed- regardless of who it favors, it is flawed and must be revamped.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Go check the dockett for USPTO vs Apple they are auditing all of apples patents because most of them should have never been granted in the first place. There is a huge investigation going on, even tho it hasn't been more than a blip on the MSM theres alot of info floating around the interwebz about it.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEYofR:
Agreed we have no idea if that scenario actually happened.

Agreed the system is probably also badly in need of updating. (Probably. Not being a patent lawyer I can't say if maybe all that's really needed is to just apply the existing rules correctly.)

But what he described, whether it happened or not, still isn't exploiting the system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Here take your choice and read http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&client=chrome-mobile&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8&q=uspto+apple that should give you an idea of whats going on behind closed doors

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Those patents you claim must be legitimate because of the apple v samsung case have already been invalidated by the USPTO, so I'd say they weren't very legitimate were they :confused:

I love how these threads devolve, every single time.

always from some ... person... either trolling, defending Apple (on an Android-centric forums, ffs), or snidely commenting from a high-horse to "give it a rest, no one cares".

and I find it interesting, that last response. it's become commonplace from that crowd.

like after several years of being "mocked" from the iCrowd, being told our devices/OS of choice is "inferior" and "derivative", and now that the one is demonstrably untrue and the second being revealed as untrue, you expect us not to gloat just a bit? suddenly this argument is uninteresting and pointless? well, f**k you. my turn. eat crow.

A slightly old, but revealing article on the subject. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SComp23:
Haha, well gloat away then brother, because you personally had so much to do with Android being superior to ios. By all means this is your victory and you should certainly gloat about your achievements.

Being a fan boy in any capacity is an embarrassment, I would assume a majority of us on this forum are grown adults.

Also, FWIW, I have an android phone, that's why I'm on this forum.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mattk9609:
Okay, I couldn't find an answer I was looking for anywhere else; I'll try and keep it brief:

I am new to android. I rooted my Straight talk Galaxy SII with cyanogen mod 10.1, and everything went fine with it, no problems so far.

I introduced my friends to the wonders of rooting, and feeling unconfident in his own abilities, he gave me his Verizon Galaxy SIII for the night for me to root for him.

In short, I messed it up and now every time I try to turn it on or enter recovery mode, it gives me a yellow triangle, and says "Verizon has identified software on your device that is not approved, please bring it in to your Verizon store for help." or something along those lines.

I am done trying to root it now, because I do not want to mess anything up and just want to get it back to 100% factory stock so I don't have to pay for a new $700 phone....I tried following this ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1840030 ) guide to reset the phone, but the link to the Root66.tar is not available anymore because Mega Share is gone, and when I downloaded the torrent, and tried to extract it with 7-zip, 7zip tells me into can't enter the archive.

I was wondering if anyone knew of that file located somewhere else where I can grab it myself (I already googled it) or if anyone has a better, simpler alternative to get this phone to factory stock?

I can still get into download mode, by the way, I just can't get to the home screen, or boot into recovery mode.

ANY help is greatly appreciated, I have already chewed off all my fingernails and am quite scared I completely trashed the phone. I don't plan on messing with any of this anymore after this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Lol you'll be fine. You're seeing this warning because you didn't unlock the bootloader depending on how you rooted the phone. Use Droidstyle's guide in the dev section and Odin flash stock image of either VRALG1 or VRBLK3. It formats /sdcard btw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0v3rl0rd:
Hi there.

I'm using the PARANOIDANDROID 3.0 (Feb09) rom with the latest franco kernel. FTR, I do wanna try other kernels also, but I have troubles with three things:

1) I cannot find with which kernels is the PA3 rom compatible with

2) I have no idea with "what" to control the kernel - with that I mean: CPU clock speed, GPU speed, etc. etc.

3) is here something like "touchwake" (that option I had on my Nexus S in the Matr1x kernel) for the Galaxy Nexus? I heard of something called PGM but would like if it is more like kernel-included than a separate app :confused:

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arief347:
1. Try AK kernel

2. There is app caled trickster mod..and include on AK kernel..there is option for cpu,gpu,governor and color display

3. Yes there is touch wake on kernel it self..but it's control by app "PGM" or if you use AK kernel,control with trickster mod app..

Hope is help..

Now i've ended with miui looped boot, but, sometimes my phone boots to ROMs wellcome screen, once i even was able to select a language and coonect to wifi and then loop was started again...

I will help once you edit, stop been lazy and put proper topic title instead of generic non-descriptive crap.

The whole idea of a topic title is a brief description of what topic is about so that people browsing forum know what topic is about at a glance. Putting ridiculous things like "Help!" , "Help s2" , "Hlp Plz" etc etc just ensures you get less views/read and potentially less help.
