[Galaxy Note II General] zkyevolved:
After about 2 weeks of having the 4.1.2 (the second update I received) on DBT my battery life one day just magically got better! I had been having terrible battery life (like 1 days worth) for 3 months, and now I get home every day from work with 50-70% battery. I charge it every night, regardless of the %. But it just magically got better. I'd say give it a go for a week or 2, and see if it helps. I don't know what happened with mine, but it looks like the software just "settled in" because I didn't install ANYTHING new, and in fact, I hadn't even uninstalled anything! It just got better after using it. Do a few battery pulls / restarts, too.
[Galaxy Note II General] mazdamiata210:
I went back to 4.1.2 last night and right now I'm at 50% charge, 17 hours standby time and 5 hours of screen time... I'd say my battery issue is fixed.. for now lol
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
I also must say that after a week or so of using 4.1.2 battery went much better overnight. I automatically turn on airplane mode during night, and on 4.1.1 I had like 1-2% drain overnight from full charge. After updrage to 4.1.2 it jumped to 10-20% !!! Now, it is down to like 4%, which is not that bad. Still have to see how it behaves during the day, I think it is not any better. Well, at least that standby drain is (much) better....
[Galaxy Note II General] simacca:
I get about 4.5 hours on average, and was getting about 5.5 before the update.
[Galaxy Note II General] longgamma:
49 % down and screen has taken up 57 % with a display time of just 1 hour 18 minutes!
[Galaxy Note II General] simacca:
I hear that a factory reset helps in some cases.
[Galaxy Note II General] mazdamiata210:
I decided to dirty flash 4.1.2 and it worked great for me. We'll see how it goes after a week or so of use though

A thanks is always appreciated if I helped you.

Edit: After 50% battery drain in 8 hours of light/moderate use on wifi I'm going back to 4.1.1... I see no benefit of using 4.1.2.... The reason I bought my note 2 was to have a battery that will last me all day and this isn't cutting it.

Thank you MobileOdin for making this easy!!!

[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] dadroidda:
I'd like to take out my stock 4000 mAh battery and replace it with a larger battery, possibly 6000 or 8000 mAh?

I can't seem to find any larger batteries on ebay or google though.

Has anyone done this before? anyone have any specific recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] 0semaj0:
most would recommend not to change the original battery (myself and Samsung) because the size for a larger capacity battery is physically larger. as the battery cannot be changed by users, opening the device will void your warranty and may also be of danger.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] dadroidda:
I bought my tab used in China, I have no warranty. Also it's not intended to be changed by users, but it is possible, and not to difficult and there are instructional youtube videos. once you open the tab up it's pretty straightforward. furthermore I think there are some batteries that exist that are larger capacity but same physical size.. aren't there?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] kbal:
I don't think you could find a battery that would fit.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] dadroidda:
I kind of assumed that some 3rd party company just makes replacement ones, hopefully bigger, at 5000 or 6000mAh?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] richardkemp:
You won't find a (genuinely) larger capacity battery which is not also physically larger. Why? Because if one existed then Samsung would obviously have used such superior technology when making the Tab in the first place.

That said, there may be a possibility of just buying a replacement battery of the same size, wiring it in parallel with the existing battery, running the wires through small hole(s) drilled in the back cover, and attaching the battery to the back of the tab. This is something I am considering myself, but obviously it won't be a popular mod.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] dadroidda:
Great thanks a lot for the useful input. Batteries after months of use go down in total capacity right? maybe if I just bought a new battery it would have a much better performance? Is there any way to find out what my current battery's actual max capacity is? I have current widget, but it doesn't seem to have the information I seek.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Accessories] Aliendex:
I see online some replacement but all with same capacity (4000mAh)

We have to wait to see batteries with more capacity, but when we find one that have 6000/8000mAh we also find a new tablet with more power and a bigger battery inside, so it's a waste of time ;)

You can get AVG Antivirus Security PRO Free in Samsung app store, which is currently priced at £9.49 in Google Play (UK) store.

I want to do a poll on what Antivirus app is used. Please make a vote.
[Galaxy S III General] bungadudu:
Nope, I can find only the free edition of AVG.

On the other hand I use G Data which is free on sammy's market.

Also Kaspersky Mobile appears as free, don't know if it's just a trial....

// I saw that NFS MW is free for Note2, but not for the S3. Guess it's not the flagship anymore .....

i wanna ask, which meta-inf folder you're used? and did you edit some lines on updater-script?

my suggestions is, try to use your pure meta-inf folder from CM10 first without editing. as i know, paranoid android roms do not needs anything different files to symlink... n you have to try to use pure libs folder (nothing added from port rom)

give it a try n let me know...

if not make it, then try this method;

Could it be that porting from Galaxy S or Galaxy S2 wont work couse of different specs (boards and cpu) couse at first i thought that only same resolution was in need ?

If so, could u offer an device similar to L7 to try to port from ?

you can research here;

btw, if you have CM10 as base rom, why you don't try to port PAC ROM...??? it's more than Pandroid...

i suggest you port PAC from ZTE SKATE (root box). they have forum on modaco.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tudorsirb:
looking at your logcat i see the folowing:

it should be msm72x7a.

have you unpacked the boot image from paranoid rom to take tha ramdisk and pack it with p700 kernel?

libs should be from p700.

you should try to port it from a device that has msm7227a SOC

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonathanpeter:
I'm have been looking around for a new phone to replace my Samsung Galaxy Ace and came down to these two phones i.e. Xperia S amd Xperia Ion and I'm really torn. I can't make up my mind at all.

As you all are users already, I would like to get some insight into these two phones, the things I'm looking into are :

1)Developer community support (custom roms and stuff).

2) Battery life under moderately heavy usage(I won't mind charging once or twice daily)

3) Screen- contrasts, blacks, whites

4) I think the Camera is basically the same? Right?

5) All the reviews I've read have complained about the capacitive keys on both of them. How is it in reality? Is there a learning curve to it?

Any input would be highly appreciated. No trolls please.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben36:
I think all ions are locked bootloader so therefore the development is limited

Sent from my JB Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Speka-3-:
1)Development of XS is more than ion

2)ion's battery is bigger than XS , it must charging once a day if you use an android phone.

About screen and camera, i have not used ion, i dont know

the capacitive keys......i only want to say it's not hard to use
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
You're wrong! :rolleyes:

Posted by Sony Xperia™ Ion via xda-premium
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jonathanpeter:
Yes, I think ARNOB is right. It can be unlocked I think.

ARNOB, how's the Ion?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luisoman2000:
At&t ions cant be bootloader unlocked, the rest can.

Ion has bigger screen and sd card support. Developer comunity is a lot bigger for xperia s. Capacitive buttons work fine on the ion(on mine i need only one press). Personally i was going to go for an S but choose the ion instead.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
Well, I've used a galaxy ace as well as both Xperia S and Xperia Ion. So here's my conclusive answer.

1. The community is very big for the Xperia S but in terms of mods and everything, ion is no way left behind.

2. Xperia Ion HSPA has a better battery imo compared to the LTE variant(due to 4G) and Xperia S.

3. Xperia S is said to have a larger dpi resulting a sharper display though I couldn't really feel the difference. While the Xperia Ion has deeper blacks, larger screen.

4. Camera is fully identical.

5. The capacitive buttons for both have no issues. But you might need a week to get used to it as its quite different from Samsung.

Hope it helps :)

[Firefox OS General] AlessioMTX:
Hi all, I'm very curious about porting an OS to a device born for another OS. I' d like to know which are the pre-requisites. I define me as an expert noob, because I'm a student and I don't know 'nothing' (IMHO), so I'd like to learn about this topic and I'd like to help someone to port firefox OS to another phone (especially wave and mini2, I have this two phone at the moment).

Hope the someone could clear my ideas :D

Thank you.

Here's the official guide on the Mozilla website:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US...tlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Firefox_OS/Porting

Good luck ;)
[Firefox OS General] AlessioMTX:
Well, the wave was born with bada, but there's the porting of Android 4, can I use that kernel? What else I have to modify? Something in the kernel used in Android of Wave + config.sh ??

While for the mini2 the porting is as every android?
[Firefox OS General] PVL_93_RU:
I can't really say, since I'm not a dev or anything, just hoped that the guide would help you.

Try to search on this page:

https://developer.mozilla.org/ru/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS

Maybe you'll find something else useful

On my persona note - I guess that Mozilla presumes that you already have Android on your device, so perhaps you should base the port on system-important elements like the kernel on the Android-side
[Firefox OS General] AlessioMTX:
OK ;) I'll study hard hoping to do something good for the community. If someone have some advice for me, write here please ;)

OK so here is my dilemma. I absolutely love how the GS3 Feels naked, and when I case it it feels less sexy. So what should I do? I just played 175$ for Samsung to fix the broken LCD and don't want it unprotected again. :confused:

- should I get it ghost armored (I have heard it doesn't prevent cracks) ?

- should I get a nasty plastic otter box style case that makes it bulletproof ?

- should I get a sexy thin flip case? (My wife has one for hers and I kinda like it and it protects the screen)

Lol advice + wisdom please ... :p

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] WhoWhere:
I've really enjoyed my ballistic case. I had an otter box prior to getting this one and prefer the size and feel of the ballistic.

Also: I dropped my phone in both of them and its survived both falls without any damage.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
While a flip case does cover the screen, if you drop the phone on its side, there's still the risk of cracking the screen.

I personally don't like otterbox, never had one and never will want one, there just too bulky for me.

Have you checked the UAG (Urban Armor Gear) cases? I've got a black one and I end up always going back to it, whenever I get a new case lol.
