Hey guys, please post your battery stats by using app called better battery stats. I have to charge my every 10 hours. My phone was in deep sleep for 6hrs or so. My battery drain average is 10.4%/hour. So, please post your battery stats using better battery stats. btw, I'm using stock gb rom with tagb 1.2 hotfix kernel. My battery drains even in deep sleep mode (I guess, I'm not sure) The person who has best stats may tell us some tips.

PS: please download better battery stats app from xda, as the developer provides free version for xda users, but in market its paid app.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] engr_exxi:
Even if we post our battery stat..

The problem lies in

How we use our phone

How old is our phone

ROM and kernel versions

Applications installed

and everything related..

You cannot compare an apple to a orange. :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
I think this is very decent battery life (using CM9).

[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
We can't compare everything! We can compare something like which app they use for texting, which are the apps that keep phone awake; what are the alternatives for that app, what are governors people use for normal use! Etc

Hey there! Nice battery life! I'm on stock gb but my average battery usage per hour is 10.5% I don't know why my battery drains faster, even in deep sleep! Btw, which version of better battery stats do you use?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
According to settings, it is version 1.12.0.0RC7
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
Which is best governor for best battery life on gb, which is best app for managing governors.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
Depends on your usage. Of course, powersave would be in the running for best battery life, but it would not be ideal if you are a gamer or heavy user. I personally use a governor not available on any of the GB kernels as far as I know (SmartassH3).

Never liked SetCPU. I use No frills; simple UI, allows you to change governor and I/O scheduler, look at some frequency stats, etc.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
Is governor suitable for battery saving? I'm a moderate user, I want my phone to sleep like baby, when screen is off and make sure that any app doesn't keeps my phone awake! I have upgraded the version of my better battery stats app. Will post the screen shot of battery stats in a few hours, would you mind if I send you the dump of my usage to you by pm! So that you could help me!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
SmartassH3 is supposed to be a more battery efficient version of Smartassv2.

I don't think changing your governor will help with sleeping issues. Governors only affect how the CPU ramps up and down. If you have issues with your phone sleeping, then it is most likely one of your apps.

Since you already have BetterBatteryStats, you can easily check partial wakelocks and see if any apps are keeping your phone awake.

I really doubt upgrading the app will change the battery usage of your phone.

If you cared about battery life, being on stock is bad start. Why not use CM7 or CM9?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
My battery is draining like a hell! And the worst part is REBOOT DURING a CALL!!!!! :(
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweetnsour:
The reboot during the call may be a kernel problem. Would you like to describe your problem in more detail?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
I was calling my father, he was talking to me but phone suddenly rebooted! I use tagb hotfix 1.2 kernel!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
Which is the latest version of cm9? is it 9.2 or 9.1.x.x? If it's cm 9.2, can u provide me the link!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ayazm.140895:
Darn! I can't tether by usb even by third party apps like easy tether! usb debugging enables and disables on its own while I try to tether using third party app like easy tether!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sarus_b:
Just change the rom and Kernel.

You are getting so many bugs and yet you didn't flash new rom.

I recommend that you change roms and see what's best for your phone and your usage.

I'm not sure but the kernel you are using is for gaming I think. ie. More power, less battery.

Anyways here is a battery usage graph :
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ThePooBurner:
No matter what I plug into the headphone slot, all the system sounds, alerts, notifications, etc. Still come out the phone's rear speaker. Worse yet, after 2-3 notifications the media sound stops coming out of the headphones and starts coming out of the speaker also. How do I stop this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmanatee:
Hello,

I am running a rooted Droid Razr Maxx 2.3.6

Is there a way to disable the "Forgot Password" option?

I know I will never forget the password to my device. And if I do I would prefer it to be factory reset vs potential loss of information.

Is there an app to do this? or a way using terminal emulator?

Thank you

[T-Mobile LG G2x] xnooeelx:
Ohkay I am trying to restore my g2x using oneclickrecovery. I successfully do all the steps until I click on flash stock rom. I'm the beginning, when my hold both volume up and down and plug it in to the computer it will not say Apx Device. It would say like USB device not installed. But then I follow the steps anyway and it says Nvidia boot for mobile devices then I take it out open oneclickrecovery then I select flash stock rom. There would be a blue window and it would say USB device not found. I would look at my phone it wouldn't say S/W upgrade.

Is there anyone who can resolve this problem? I need my phone back. :(

I just tried this. Yes, if you have a pin on your lock screen, then hit emergency call, then ice contacts in the bottom right, it will flash your home screen. However, if you try to launch an app from the milisecond it shows it will not work. Them when you unblock the phone properly the app you tried to launch will be running.

I heard of this bug the other day on a website and it said that it only affected note 2 users to the point where it actually did ker them in the phone. But in the 30 something tries I did with my S3 it didn't work. Just thought I'd throw that out there for anyone concerned :)

thankyou :)

also great work mate looks brill. I cant get hold of one of the Ipaq connectors at teh moment because the place you have on ur site has ran out of stock :( but i opened up my usb cable and most of the pins are missing and only 5 left :( so i guess i cant use that.

regards Gareth :cry:

looking athe the xda connector page on here at the h/f kit bit it says 3 x 47p which i have found these.....

SF84F EMIFIL 3 Term 47pF £0.01

Features

• 1205 size 3 terminal capacitors

• Compact and thin

• High level of noise suppression

• Excellent high frequency characteristics

Applications

• EMI suppression in various electronic equipment

• EMI suppression of AC signal lines and DC power lines

• Severe EMI suppression in high impedance

circuits such as digital
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] climber:
That seems about right

Gareth,

Those 4F EMIFIL 3 Term 47pF £0.01 seem right.

The stuff on the other page are what we call ELCO's over here. There are not suited for this particular job.

I recall the page saying 47pF as well. The value of this capacitor determines the frequency characteristics of the decoupling 'filter' we are making here. I had a couple of 1uF 's lying around here.

Since they are cheap you might consider buying both or even a third and see what that does to the sound.

I had good results so far, but you have to keep in mind that I like to drive fast and my car gets rather noisy then :twisted:

Let me know what your results are!

[General Questions and Answers] mr_moua:
Help!!!! I've been a big fan of Androids and many developers but just have never ask for help. Just today, I thought I would try to flash back to stock by using ics 9.2.27 firmware on my Transformer tf101, I wasn't careful enough and read the direction, I unzipped it and then flashed... now everything is lost/gone and can boot up, but stays at Asus bootup sign loop, can not turn off. Tried to go to recovery, recovery is lost/gone. There is no way I can recover so please anyone who can help, I would appreciated. I've done this for a long time with other products/brand. I feel so damn bad. :( I hope there is a way I can flash to recovery, anything, just to run, I can restore everything, but I can not do anything at all at this point.

The bad thing about reporting these exploits, is that it allows for the people that are liable to steal someone's info/device to know exactly how to do it. It's great to precaution owners, just wish there was another way to alert users.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
True. But then it becomes more difficult because how can you determine if those users wont try to steal someone info? Its hard :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
yes everyone needs to be educated on this exploit because in no way will anyone ever use this to learn how to unlock a stolen phone.

makes sense.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well now that they know they can take preventative measures to keep it from happening, like using another lockscreen thats not stock, or flashing an AOSP rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
because there's no possible way of getting that information across to people without showing everyone with bad intentions the exact, step-by-step method used to exploit it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well obviously he has to state it like that or no one would be able to replicate the issue and believe him. Seems like you have better ideas as to how to do it, mind sharing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricocollege:
I dont see the big deal, if someone steals your phone and cant access it, they will just do a factory reset and you will lose any chance of tracing and recovering your phone or remote wiping it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup, that too. Unless you move your lockscreen app to the system partition which cant be wiped like that ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Overstew:
If it was me, I'd send Samsung a message about it. If that was the video poster's intent, he could've went about informing Samsung another way. People that find lost GS3s will definitely find this now. I know somebody who's found an ipod that had a PIN on it and the first thing they did was google how to crack it.

Still, this video also serves a purpose to inform those who can fall victim to this. It's a hit or miss. Samsung definitely is aware of the issue now, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
Of course any exploit is a problem, but put it in perspective.

First, the criminal has to have physical access to your phone. This in itself makes it much less worrisome than most software hacks that you can download.

Second, according to Engadget:

"Despite literally hundreds of attempts in front of the lens and several more behind it, we've only managed it once -- we found it impossible to nail down the correct timing between the home and power button pushes."

and also from Engadget:

" Samsung has responded, confirming a fix is indeed on its way:

"Samsung considers user privacy and the security of user data its top priority. We are aware of this issue and will release a fix at the earliest possibility."

So, the blogs stir up a frenzy, make some money on click-thrus, and it gets fixed.

Nothing to see here,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pr0fess0rx29:
Temporary Fix (Makes it much harder to exploit)

Temporary fix:

1) Download another launcher like "Go Launcher". Set it as default.

2) Download and install another lock screen like the "Go Locker" and set it up.

:good:

The problem is Samsung's Touchwiz launcher, getting another launcher is the only thing we can do until we get a fix from Samsung. This exploit takes about 5 minutes every time if you sit and get good at doing it. Dont kid yourself, this is very easy to reproduce.

In theory installing another launcher will make doing this much harder to do but will not completely eliminate the chances of getting exploited. This is because the touchwiz launcher still rears its ugly head when you reboot your phone. But if the attacker cant exploit your phone by the time the new launcher is loaded in the background then they have to restart your phone and try all over again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
Tried this with multiple scenarios and activating "with swipe lock" in addition to password or pin will prevent it from working because the swipe lock will always come up even if you're seeing the home screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pr0fess0rx29:
Nah, "with swipe lock" in addition to password or pin doesnt change anything. My friend can still break in within 5 minutes. Then he laughs at me. the only thing that shut him up was changing the launcher and lock screen to something other than touchwiz. :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stereo386:
I tried on my Sprint S3 and I couldn't re produce the exploit can somebody be more speciffic on how to do it exactly with the button combo. So I can try again.

Hello all in the fourm

Have a new tablet and its rooted after three hours

Twenty mins to root

Two and a bit hours to realise how to install drivers for adb

Lost all ome apps.???? Forgot to do a full wipe after root didnt ythink it would need it as I hadn't be any apps or profiles added to the device so flashed on to the flasher tool it takes time and I was think ho to turn on charging thru my

Flashing thru the flasher scared the **** out of me but worked and restored the ome apps hulu plus is missing but is that a state side thing also when I return to ireland in six months will I have to change the region in canada atm so im just a bit courious as to my options later on if any

But video is not playing very well

any suggestions for players would be nice also any way to make it the default player

also any point towards how to replace the stock player with a third

[Sony Tablet S] Peedy1971:
Also had video playback issues with the xperia tablet s, but ony with the built-in sony player.

The first video (an mp4) didn't play at all ("This video can't be played" or something), after that I put it on my SGS3 where it played just fine...

The second one (another mp4) played for about 30 seconds, when suddenly the player shut down ("Unfortunately, this video has been stopped") while the audio played on and could be stopped only by restarting the sony player and the video. And again, after 30 secs, another shutdown of the player and the video, but not the audio....

Then I installed the MX Player from the play store, and since then, no playback problems so far....

Thanks dex

Also how do I check which recovery is installed is a a termianl comand ive ran the AIO and installed the tweak for rescue backdoor also I said no to the end of the flasher to change the recovery as I had it already done with the AIO

MXPlayer Pro is the best I could find. Easy to set as default player and does evey kind of video file there is...subtitles too. I would agree that video is a little different on this tablet. I think part of it may be the small format maybe? It seems like the video is playing in slow motion but only a fraction of a second maybe....then again maybe an illusion. I haven't put this next to a lappy or my regular lcd tv to see if it tracks the same though either. It's such a minor thing for me....the audio sounds fine not slow or slurred or any problem so I just leave it.

Glad to hear another confirmed positive on the flasher tool. I'm at release 3, rooted with Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v18 and looking to go to 6b. Thanks for the info.
