Hi Guys,

I am facing problem while configuring my Motorola droid x2 with reliance.Can someone help please?

I was able to register my phone with Reliance ,but after that also when i make a call it automatically get cancelled in a second.

Please help..
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Are you running the DX2 as stock? Or have you installed a custom ROM. CM10 has had this issue with phone calls. Other than that, I know nothing about Reliance.

[Nokia Lumia 920] alpha beta gaga:
what are others thoughts on some of the pros and cons of this update? i'm thinking it will actually save battery to have wifi 'always on' in standby mode rather than repeatedly switching between a on/off state which uses more energy.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
It will definitely eat more battery if it's always on under the lockscreen...

Also there is an option to deactivate notifications when new wifi hotspots are around.. if you are about battery life you should deactivate this..
[Nokia Lumia 920] boshko:
I keep my Wifi always on because it consumes the least battery (vs 3G, LTE, etc).

If I don't play games on my Lumia 920 the battery can last 3 days.
[Nokia Lumia 920] miodrage:
This update is freezing my phone :( Dunno why but I have tested it. I occasionally get a freeze now and then, but when the keep wifi is on, it is like every couple of hrs... Will test it more though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Wrong unless your phone is using 5-year old wifi chip.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Correct me if I am wrong, but is the wifi on this phone an on demand type system? From what I see on mine, the wifi unless being used for an actual update or downloading other content goes to sleep when the lock screen is on. It then wakes up if there is an update pushed to it or if something else needs it or of course if you unlock the phone. At least that is the way it appears that mine works.

Also your radio service are going to use much more power than the wifi will as they are higher power transmitters and receivers. There is a reason wifi only works within a few hundred feet and radio works for several miles that is due to the power difference. Of course with more power you get more battery consumption.

In the case of conserving the battery you are better off to use wifi when possible, leave it on and let the phone control it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
In my experience keeping Wifi on permanently lead to a remarkable decrease in battery life. That will depend on where you are though. If I have it sitting at home where it has Wifi connectivity it's likely that I would see better battery life because all actual transfers will happen via Wifi. At work though it can't connect to the Wifi network (private phone, work network) and so I have 3G running anyway while the phone keeps looking for Wifi networks to connect to.

The problem boils down to the fact that while you can switch off Wifi completely because everything can still work using 3G you can't switch off the phone part completely because only data is done over Wifi but you still need the mobile connection to receive calls/SMS.

I would suggest to anyone to simply try out what works better for them. For me it worked best to let Wifi deactivate automatically as it had been the default in WP since WP7 came out.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
Maybe Wifi is using less power when you are downloading something and need a lot of data... But when your phone is idle... Constant on Wifi is using far more battery power than 3G that checks for email or weather every 1-2 hours...
[Nokia Lumia 920] powerwagon:
Simple enough...if you are consistently in an area with a WiFi signal, leave WiFi "always on"...it will consume less battery. If you're in an area without WiFi signal then turn it off, as searching for a signal will help run your battery down.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Again, simply not true unless you are using a 5-year old phone. Even if you are in an area that has no wifi connection, the extra drain caused by searching for Wi-Fi networks is minimum in a modern OS and modern chipset. I have left all my android phones (the ones that offer Wi-Fi always on feature for a few years now) wifi on all the time. Never have felt much difference vs if I turn wifi off. It annoys me that WP didn't offer this capability for so long.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
I tested a lot of phones Android and WP, my experience is that wifi always on is a battery killer... And I'm talking about state of the art hardware... It's just my 2 cent's but i keep it off...

When I don't charge overnight and wifi is always on my battery drops about 40%

with only 3G on about 8-10%
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
Foxbat: you can leave it any way you want to do it. I'm not saying Microsoft should remove the feature. But in my experience keeping Wifi on kills the battery faster. I tested it for my use case with always on and with Auto and in the end: Auto it was for me.

The best advice you can give to people is: try it out yourself and you will see what works best for you.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
A picture or two says it all. See the attached files for my two testing: one with wifi always on for 24-hour and one with Wi-Fi in auto mode for 24-hour:
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
The right picture shows 0.0%/hour under current discharge rate... pretty impressive :D
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
The keyword is 'Current' -- means at that moment. You can derive the same thing from the left in various sections. The key here is that I don't see any discernible difference. Certainly not a battery killer in any sense as you claimed.

If you look at the first 12-hour period of both chart (when the phone is mostly sleep and not used), the result is almost identical. FYI, there are three push emails connected all the time: Hotmail, GMail and Corporate Exchange Email.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
Yes the keyword 'Current' -- means at that moment... so your phone is not discharging although your screen is on... Very accurate app...
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
So, what you saying is that if you have the screen on, you will see your battery percentage drop immediately? You should return your phone if that is the case.

Battery app get its information from the phone OS reporting. If the OS reported the same battery percentage over a short period of time, the discharge rate won't be anything other than zero. That's limitation of the platform, not app.

Instead of criticize the app which is not the point of the post, why don't you post your findings where leave Wi-Fi always on kills your battery?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
it' % per hour... and your phone is using currently using 0,0% per hour so if you leave it like that it will run for ever... so where is the mistake?
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
% per hour is a unit of measurement. It doesn't mean you have to take one hour to measure it in order to claim its rate. That will be average rate on that hour, not current rate which is meant to see what your current usage pattern is. It can't be used to predict your battery life. If you notice that when you take your phone off the charger, it will stay on 100% for quite some time before it starts to drop. Does that mean your phone battery can last forever? Think about it before post these ridiculous statements.
[Nokia Lumia 920] StevieBallz:
Foxbat - you are trying to tell us how our devices should behave while we are telling you how they actually behave in the real world out there. You can repeat your 5 years story as often as you want to but it clearly doesn't live up to the factual reality we experience every day and I guess after trying it out with different ROMs on the 920 and leaving all other settings the same I know the effect it had pretty well.

Nice to know though that you are having a different experience with different devices.
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
I give you the real world results from my phone as posted above after 48 hours of recording. You are welcome to show yours. You derive your own conclusion from the data. Talking is cheap. Show some real world data.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Ikkari:
Your declaration is totally ridiculous and false... You clearly don't know anything about units and measurements.... Won't argue with you... and it's totally off topic...
[Nokia Lumia 920] foxbat121:
Exactly, that's totally off topic and I guess Calculus is totally foreign to you. .

[HTC One X+] Eddie5850:
Hi, I am very new to all this rooting and flashing roms, and I recently rooted my HOX+, and is about to take the next step into flashing a rom.

The rom I intend to use is cm 10.1 by Lloir, but I have a few questions about it before i pull the trigger.

Rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2067325

1. Does the rom need a kernal like this one here? (i know nothing about kernals) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2027201?

2. If i need the kernel, do i need to flash it first? or the rom first? I am using hasoon2000's toolkit by the way.

3. What does the nightly roms do, and are they better then the stable 4.2.2 cm 10.1?

4. What does gapps mean?

5. If i happen to want to install another rom or zip file, like the camera sphere mod, do I just need to overwrite it in clockworkmod recovery?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X+] sarcasticphoenix:
Yes you will need to flash the kernel. The kernel is essential to the phone, so download the boot.IMG from the post.

Usually, you first copy the ROM to your phone, then flash the boot image, then flash the ROM.

Nightly builds may have more features than stable builds, but stable builds are less likely to crash and such. Choose which to flash depending on whether you want the latest or more stable.

Gapps stand for Google Apps. It is a package of common Google apps such as the Play Store.

For camera mods and stuff that add on to the ROM, flash them without wiping unless you are told to. For a new ROM, it is necessary to full wipe.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotelalfa:
Has anyone else noticed that the nexus 4 sits just fine, tilted against the wireless charger, when it is upside down?

No need to worry about positioning. No need to worry about mystery magnets or rubber pads,since the lower edge sits nicely on the table. It just works.

I think that this is a design error. You can see the actual interior location of the wireless pad in the phone from various breakdown posts. The geometry is just perfect - if you don't know about or didn't notice the correct position of the display.

If I am right:

What would you do back in November if you unpacked a crate of these things and tried one out?

Maybe Google will send all those who purchased this a snap-on plastic stand that allows the phone to sit securely in its proper orientation.

Samsung takes a leaf out of Apple's book & recycles the design of its last flagship device.

Admit it's just a GS3 with a few extra bells & whistles, upgrade the innards check, upgrade the camera check & alter the screen a bit. Bang you have yourself a new flagship, market the hell out of it & watch the sales roll in.

At least HTC made a big change between the One & the One X, especially in design and innovated in the camera rather than just banging more megapixels on it.

That said it still looks a very strong device & I might get one.:D

when apple adds a S after their phones like the iphone 4s it doesnt change anything it only adds a new camera and a new processor

samsung changed everything on the phone believe it or not the s3 was a ugly pos the s4 is a beautiful mini note 2
[General Topics] crawlgsx:
Seriously?

The S4 looks JUST like the S3... which ALSO looks just like a mini Note 2. (I owned both).

I don't think any of them are ugly, but I don't find them sexy either. That is all just personal preference, but to say the S3 is ugly, and the Note 2 and S4 are beautiful is just.. well, silly. Your analysis is ... flawed... to say the least.

The S4 definitely is a bump up from the S3 spec wise, no question, but in the looks department it is mid size between the S3 and Note II, nothing more, nothing less. Only very minor aesthetic change.

See Sig - I have owned most of their recent phones. I'm not speculating, I had the Note, Note II, and S3 as well as others.
[General Topics] :
the s3 has a very ugly shape and the gap between the screen and the home button is a big waste of space which ruins the design of it while the s4 is designed a lot like the note 2
[General Topics] ErebusRaze:
You're nit picking. As a whole the S IV looks exactly like the S III and though the internals are slightly buffed, externally (which is what 95% of the public cares about) it's the same. Apple gets away with it because their chassis is admittedly beautiful, but Samsung is sticking to this flimsy, cheap plastic design which is not a head turner. They dropped the ball with this one and I think HTC will gain ground as they introduced a beautiful phone with the HTC One.
[General Topics] bbrad:
Your the one nit picking about the plastic
[General Topics] ErebusRaze:
Constructive rebuttal. The phone is flimsy, and the quality of material used is sub par. If you're used to such things then it's fine. I've had all of the Galaxy S phones and now own the S3. As an owner it's disheartening to own a phone with such lackluster material in comparison to far more premium build phones that are equally as powerful and cost the same amount. Why don't I just switch? I probably won't and I'll wait for the S V as it'll be a worth while jump in speed and efficiency.
[General Topics] corey_lane:
I just have to agree, in my own opinion, the S4 didn't make HUGE design changes. On that, I think most agree. I'd still love to have it. :) Though, Not as much as I would like to have the HTC One.

[General Topics] mg2195:
I was a little disappointed...but there running out of room to improve on...over all I'm satisfied...if you already have an s3 then there isn't much reason to upgrade to it...but if your just ending your two year then its the perfect phone...

The one looks nice...but its missing the ad card...that is a necessity for me and many others...I could care less about removable battery, I just want my sd slot...I love music too much, streaming lowers the quality and 32gb on board just isn't enough when each song is 10-20mbs...

Anyways...ill admit, I am a Samsung fanboy....I hate HTC - they are a pain to get setup for Roma compared to Samsung devices...unlocking bootloader, s-off...just a pain. I gave HTC a try and I don't think ill ever give them another...
[General Topics] jRi0T68:
Plastic IS NOT A SUB-PAR MATERIAL. There are many areas other than cost that Samsung's "plastic" is superior to aluminum in a mobile device application. Hell, car manufacturers figured that out a long time ago.

As long as the screen is more durable than on the S3, I doubt the build is "cheap" except to the uneducated.

The m7 is nice but until HTC gets rid of s off and boot loaders I will forever support Samsung.
[General Topics] ErebusRaze:
The disillusioned ideal that plastic is not "cheap" in any platform is either a lack of said "education," or a blissful ignorance to quality materials in the real world.

Also, car manufacturers use plastic to cut costs during production. The most expensive and even mid range European and Japanese performance cars use a mix of an aluminum and carbon fiber chassis. Why? Because they're lighter and more durable. Only American manufacturers used plastic up until recently when Chevrolet finally built the Corvette with an aluminum frame. This is why foreign car makers laugh at American manufacturers and say we're "playing catch up."
[General Topics] jRi0T68:
I was more referring to bumpers than the chassis itself. "Plastics" are better at shock absorption. They also deal much better with heat. Those 2 things are very important in a mobile device.

Sure, I'd like to see carbon fiber on the S4 instead, but I just don't see that happening.

I should add that I keep "plastics" in quotes because there are many kinds, many of which are used in real world applications without cost being the driving factor. Go put a metal housing on an otterbox case in lieu of plastic and see how the case stands the drop. It won't fair as will. There will be dings, possible bending, and were it not for the inner lining, damage transferred nicely into the phone.
