[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gkazir:
Hi,

Just noticed that the PERIOD key in the virtual keyboard is not working. If i'm pressing in different places near the period key I can get it sometime, but it is not working well.

Does someone experinced with that kind of problem? maybe it is a screen problem? what can I do beside RMA (which is almost imposibble as I don't live in the USA?!

Thank you

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewgillesp:
Last night before going to bed I decided to turn my tablet off (it was around 45% battery left). When I tried to turn it on this morning, it was dead; no response. So I plugged it in and after a few minutes it booted up. I went to the battery settings and saw that it dropped off to dead pretty much instantly. Here's a screenshot after charging for a few hours.

Does anyone know how this happened, if it can happen again, or if it was just a random occurrence?

I'm on stock 4.2.2 rooted, and the only app I installed yesterday was "avast!" security to try it out.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vindico pallens:
Same thing just happened to me only I had more than 45% and was using it at the time. The screen would flicker every time I would touch it and keep flickering for about 3 secs if I swiped to change home screens. Display went dark and was unresponsive. After plugging it in it finally booted and said I was at 0% battery.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
OP: it could be a problem with the reported charge left in the battery, or a hardware defect that is grounding to the chassis and then through you that is sucking all the charge out. No app or anything can possibly drain the battery that fast, even at max load and max CPU speed constantly. The only way charge can leave a device that abrupt and by that large an amount is by a short somewhere in the hardware.

Vindico: sounds like a definite hardware problem to me and the tablet should be replaced. As I said above, there is no possible way in all of electronics and physics for a battery to be drained that fast and suddenly with our hardware in any situation other than a short in the hardware.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pingguo:
45% of charge loss in a few minutes is simply not possible without huge amounts of heat being generated... I assume the calibration or measurement is completely off... Or do you see bubbles coming out of your Nexus 10? :laugh:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varekai:
I've had this happen to me twice, each around the same 45%. Except i must have caught it pretty much soon after it happened because the tablet was really hot each time, and took about 5 minutes of being plugged in before the charging icon would come up.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb3ck:
This happened to me today, and it happened 2 weeks ago.

While I don't have any technical advice to give, I purchased my tablet in December and Google is replacing my tablet free of charge.

Samsungs quality control on this thing has been pathetic. Here's hoping I get a better copy next time.

Cahce?

Have you tried clearing Battery stats? You should give it a shot, I have had a similar problem with my Galaxy S2 & S3.. It was fixed after i cleared the stats.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Probably a coincidence. Android generates battery stats on boot always. Clearing them does absolutely nothing. That is straight from what Google said when it was all the rage to clear your battery stats when flashing a new ROM or kernel years ago.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gandharv.aiims:
Well I think its more of a reportage problem... I have this new nexus 10 which is showing the same problem..

Once my tablet screen flickered and went off... And it responded only after 10-15 min of charging...

Now also at times the battery status will get stuck at some particular percentage and wont update automatically however a reboot will set things straight...

Overall battery life is not diminished so the other scenario of battery being rapidly depleted due to some hardware is quite unlikely...

Besides the whole time the battery was stuck at one particular percentage was when i was actively using it and screen was on... So ideally the battery should have drained during this time...
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Bringing this back to life, mine just died at 50%
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mieszk3:
I have the same problem. Battery is 100%, I disconnect charger and then few seconds/minutes and reset. After reboot it stop at X sign and reset again and again, and again.

When I connect charger Nexus can boot but it shows 0% empty battery! After few seconds/minutes battery shows 100% again.

So I think that my battery is broken (or battery controller at least).

In my opinion Nexus 10 has very poor quality during production (reboots, battery problem, heating problem etc.). So I'll never ever buy a Android tablet again, especially a Nexus line or from Samsung. It is unacceptable for me to sell product with so many bugs.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
I just charged to full while the device was off and plugged in, and deleted the battery stats. I'll report how it goes.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
No change after deleting battery stats, still shut down at ~32%.

Time for a warranty.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nathtech:
Exact same issue, 2 days in a row :/ Every time it reaches around 50% it powers off and won't turn back on without the charger :/ What do I do? I only got this on Wednesday!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmill75:
Ughhh just had this happen to me. Hit 32% and boom shut off. Really lime the tablet but this is kind of a deal breaker. Anymore news of a fix. I'm running AOKP 4.2 right now.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snowboarda42:
Not sure about an actual fix, outside of a battery replacement, etc.

Mine is currently at Samsung for repairs, which has been "fun". I started by sending it in after describing the problem as "while discharging, the battery will drain as it should to about 50%, then immediately to 0% and the tablet shuts off saying the battery is dead". The original call taker, who was really nice, took it as a "charging problem" and didn't say anything to me. The repair status tracking online just said "component replaced" so I decided to call. Turns out they just replaced the charging port, nothing else. Not going to fix my problem though. So, I re-explained the problem and the nice lady said that she should

transfer me to advanced tech support

. Sweet! Finally someone who knows the issue! WOOT!! Someone named Robert totally understood the problem, put me on hold, and came back and said "Okay, so, just to make sure we really get the problem fixed, I'm having them replace the whole motherboard, battery, and the connection terminals that the battery hooks to" (I forgot the name). "We're taking the shotgun approach here, so hopefully it'll fix your problem. I'm also writing a better description of the light leak in the bottom corner, and having them expedite the repair since it's been here for 5 days already".

Robert, you sir, are my hero today.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapiocadestroyer:
Who did you contact for repair? There was nothing in my warranty book about who to contact. The pay store said to contact Samsung directly for the nexus 10
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tapiocadestroyer:
Okay I had the same problem that everybody else here has had. I have reflashed the stock rom and unrooted and locked my Nexus and everything seems to be working perfectly since then. No more reboots freezes or incredibly large battery dropping since then.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr-green:
Two things that I would enjoy having on my nexus4 is being able to see the metadata on my cars head unit while streaming music from my phone. And to be able to access the LTE network that TMobile has in Kansas City where I live.

The Bluetooth issue happened when Google changed the Bluetooth stack going from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I used to be able to see track info before the 4.2.2 update running CM10. Once CM 10.1 arrived with googles Bluetooth changes I lost the updated avrcp functionality.

With the LTE side of this being simuliar, losing functionality with the 4.2.2/CM10.1 update. I'm wondering what the drawbacks of reverting back to a 4.2.1/CM10 on the nexus 4 to gain these features back would be.

Let's start a discussion here, any one else I'm the same boat here? I know I would love to have access to tmobile's LTE here in Kansas City where I'm at as well as the old Bluetooth functionality of metadata back again.

What are Tue thoughts of the community?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
I recently purchased this phone, and have been appalled by the battery life, it's atrocious. I also seem to have a bug with Maps that keeps draining me, even though I don't use any location services, etc. So now, I'm going to install a new rom, and see if my battery improves significantly. My question is, which rom is the best with battery life? There is no point in having this fancy phone if you can't use it because the battery is dead before you even get out of work and it's just been sitting in your pocket -_-, this is what happened to me.

Right now I'm downloading CleanROM 6r2, latest build. I do intend on flashing it later tonight and testing how the battery level is, and if it still declares I'm roaming when I'm obviously not.

Right now I'm stock, rooted and bootloader unlocked I have no put any roms on the phone as of yet, but battery is terrible regardless. My brother has the same phone, same carrier and same battery issues albeit, not nearly as detrimental as mine.

Thanks in advance. If CleanROM is the best with battery life thus far that would be great. I'd like to try 4.2.2, but hear it's got terrible battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
Sorry to be the first to say that "what's the best Rom" is frowned on around here

You really need to find out what works best on your phone through reading and testing.

However just to point you in the right direction. clean Rom has never let me down and synergy can sleep like a baby

Finally I'd think it is safe to say aosp Roms will never compare to battery on tw

They can still be very good but for your purpose you may have better luck else where.

God bless the American people

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] buhohitr:
95% battery life is controlled by the Kernel, not the rom. The other small 5% can contribute to battery such as odex vs deodex, quick boot up. Also, I'm not going to bring in user settings control such as screen brightness, apps sync intervals etc.. I'm talking about if we have 2 devices with the exact same setup, the kernel is where it makes a diff in battery saving.

Haha not all people like a boat sized phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
This ^^. I thought about it, but its just too big and intrusive.

Besides, my phone shouldn't die idle in my pocket. My brothers AT&T S3 stayed on for 3 days without usage, mine died in under 8 hours.

Anyway, I do understand that "what is the best" is frowned upon. I've been around a little while, I'm just not very active. I really wanted more of a general answer regarding user feedback with certain roms, or experiences maybe.

Also, regarding the kernel that is news to me, I didn't know that. Thanks for the information. I guess I can redirect my search to a kernel.

I do want to report though that my battery life has improved significantly I think than what it was before. Granted the rom was just installed today and has already died, I used it very heavily today though as opposed to the very minimal usage that killed it previously. I wont for certain until I get back to school and have it idle around for a while.

I'll check out Synergy if I'm not impressed, although CleanROM right now has fixed the MAPS issue I was experiencing. It no longer shows it as something that's killing my battery and I left all the settings the same as they were. So that tells me it was an obvious bug in my software specifically or something of that nature. So far so good.

P.S., did you personally have better life with Synergy over CleanRom?

Btw, I have always maintained a modest setup on my phone that should improve battery life. Low screen brightness, no WIFI unless I need it, no mobile data unless I want it or need it. I never checked on sync intervals though, I'll have to do that.^_^
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
It all depends on the kernel and its setting. My experience so far is that I overall get good battery life with LeanKernel, GalaxyKOR, KT kernel regardless what ROM I use. I also use DS Battery Saver in Slumberer mode. At one point after fully charging my phone I left the screen off for 8 hours woke up it went from 100 % to 97%.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
I'll check out DS battery and some of those kernels. What is your primary ROM? I'm digging CleanRom right now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] barrackOBAMA:
Nothing beat lean kernel and clean rom lite

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dward26:
Will this battery fit the same as stock?

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

I recommend just trying diff roms and diff kernels and just see what works best for you. I am currently using Jelly Beans build 13 with LeanKernel and I have really good battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
Went ahead and flashed lean kernel v 1.10 now my phone wont boot up. I get 2 Samsung Galaxy logo's then it turns back off. ?

In the process of restoring a backup I made. Is there something wrong with the way I approached things? I simply put the zip on my sd card, and flashed it in CWM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
So my backup saved me. After that I went through file directory for leankernel and seen nothing about 1.10 haha, so I guess I downloaded something wrong. Now I'm going to try flashing 2.1 will report.

Edit: So, I did flash the wrong kernel on accident. New 2.1 kernel worked for me this time. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Leankernel has an TW and AOSP version. Good thing you did a backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Download Better Battery Stats to better track down your wakelocks. Besides that I don't really think there is anything that can be significantly improved going from ROM to ROM. 4.2.2 ROMs are starting to rival TW in terms of battery life. The biggest battery killer is low signal. If you are in a building or on the edge of a service area having your phone constantly switching towers or going from 3g/4g really eats up the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LaserEyeballs:
Clean Rom + Lean Kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] landshark68:
There are Touchwiz and AOSP versions of Lean Kernel. Look in the original development section and flash the appropriate one for your ROM.

I purchased the 7000mah battery and lost my data connection when I was away from my house. I asked around and it's a known bug, but a lot of people don't care because the battery lasts so long. I have the 4200 hyperion and 4400 Anker and love the Anker... as a back cover, I use Seidio's cover because the ones that come with Anker and Hyperion are crap.

On my phone, I have used almost all the TW and AOSP ROMs.... For me, CleanRom gets the best battery. I am not into messing with my performance settings, I don't find it helps all that much and causes more problems than it's worth. With the Anker battery, I go through about 35% battery per day... if I let my phone get down to 5% battery life left, I usually have somewhere around 6 hours of screen time. For me, that's plenty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Spewed:
That is nice, I wouldn't mind using a bigger battery if they weren't so gigantic.it would be nice to see a lower profile battery with significant increase in battery. That way I can find a case that fits. I tend to drop phones a lot, i haven't dropped this one yet, but I have dropped every other phone countless times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dspcap:
If you get the seidio back cover. You have a choice of the seidio Surface or Active case to protect it...but yes, it does make the phone thicker.

Good luck

[HTC One X] tip2tail:
Good Evening

First: I'm not a technical n00b. I have owned, rooted and installed custom ROMs on Androind devices since the HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) through to my current HTC One X. I am also familiar with unix systems.

I have however run into a very annoying problem with my One X. For the last week the GSM mobile network connection has been extremely flaky to say the least. I am hopeful that someone can help me pinpoint what is going on so I will set out some information about my device and setup.

HTC One X

ROM: Android Revolution HD 19.2

Android: 4.1.1

Kernal: 3.1.10-g03b5369 root@abm032 # 1 SMP PREEMPT

Baseband: 5.1204.162.29

(This setup (and previous versions of ARHD) was working correctly since I first rooted my phone in May 2012)

Network: T-Mobile UK / EE UK

SIM: T-Mobile SIM Card

SIMCard Status: Secure in holding tray.

What I have tried:

Reinstalling the entire ROM / boot.img

"Bulking" the SIMcard to make sure it is making a secure connection in the tray

Monitoring with logcat (see later)

The issue has been getting progressively worse over this last week. At the begining of the week I had noticed that if the device had a network connection and was left still on a flat surface such as my desk in my office it would maintain its connection. Today however the phone will drop and reconnect of its own accord when it is left alone.

I have also noted that:

The phone is seeming to prefer GPRS rather than 3G or H connection types.

Sometimes it will be purely a SMS/Phone signal and no Data connection.

When trying to "Search for networks" the phone can find no networks at all in the area (I live in a large town - so unlikely).

At times the "Access point names", "Network mode" and "network operators" menu items are disabled completely when the netowkr is disconnected.

Airline mode is DISABLED before someone suggests that! ;)

I have been able to capture five logcats - 2 with signal and 3 without. I notice that the gsm.sim.state and other such settings appear to show what appears to me as no SIM inserted (which is why I initially tried bulking the card).

One last thing - WiFi is working as normal. :)

[HTC One X] intel007:
I have been having similar issues since I got my phone in November, running both stock 4.0 & latest 4.1

This may sound strange but I lose all network connectivity much more frequently when holding the phone in my left hand, putting the phone down or switching hands the signal returns, sometimes takes longer than other times, then return it to my left hand signal drops out again. Also when pulling from my pocket can bring similar results. This mainly happens in lower signal areas for me.

99% of the time I have mobile data turned off and use 2g/gsm only

Also sometimes I get an onscreen message saying 'preparing SIM' as if for some reason the SIM was removed and re-inserted.

I did a while ago remember reading somewhere that some Sims were too thin for the one x pins to contact sufficiently, and to place a piece of tape to the back but I'm yet to test this.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] tip2tail:
I should have mentioned that I too get the "Preparing Sim" message on screen.

When I mentioned bulking up the Sim - I have placed 2 small peices of paper on the back of the card and taped them in place, adding to the thickness in the way you mention. Any unfortuately all those log lats were after this!

[HTC One X] intel007:
I wonder if it could be a dodgy SIM, I haven't got another tmobile SIM to try, I might just call them for a replacement, even just to eliminate that as a possible cause, before querying it with HTC.

Have you tried another SIM and if yes were the results the same?

With my old tmobile sim, my HTC desire c £100 budget phone was giving me great signal, no dropouts whatsoever, so I was pretty shocked with the signal drops when I got my shiny new one x.

The fault was an internal hardware issue. The phone has now been exchanged for a replacement unit from T-Mobile.
