[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mad Max:
Just to expand on Qman's reply to this... The Version 3.xx ROM that the original XDA Developers Special Edition ROM was based on had hooks into the radio stack and hardware that allowed interesting things to be done, like unlocking the SIM lock and the wireless modem function. ATTWS and T-Mobile chose NOT to deploy the wireless modem software as part of their 3.xx ROMs in the US, so the Special Edition ROM has the wireless modem function from O2's ROM.

The problem is those hooks changed under 4.xx so the cool functions--SIM Unlocking and Wireless Modem-- are not available under any 4.xx ROM available today. So your choice is to cook a 3.xx ROM with Wireless Modem or a 4.xx ROM without.

Speaking only for myself, the wireless modem function is the one feature I would most want to add to my XDA, but I have no interest in going back to the heartaches of my original ATTWS 3.xx ROM. Like many of you, my relationship with my XDA was quite strained before I learned about this group, and since then the reliability and usability of my XDA has improved so dramatically that I can't go back to the old way or I'd bang my own head in with a hammer.

I'm surprised nobody (like XDA Developers, for instance) has tackled this issue on a commercial basis. If it cost me 49.95 USD to get the wireless modem function on my 4.xx XDA, I'd pay it in an instant.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] eddy:
for me i have no problem to pay a 100 bux to get wmodem under the 4.x rom. i really don't want to go back to the old ROM though i need such service badly. any idea when such application will be avalaible .?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] telegurus:
All things considered

Mad Max speaks my mind. I am surprised too, almost angry. I guess the reason no takers of the issue is the possibility of OS built-in capability (drivers) down the road. But Mad Max's posting has dashed my wishful thinking for the modem capability on the next T-Mobile US release.

My XDA ROM is still 3.14.40 ENG that came with the XDA when I bought it 8 months ago. This is T-Mobile's supported / official version. I am reluctant to change it to any unofficial version for other reasons: 1. risk - any change could bring forth undesirable effects; 2. falling out of support from T-Mobile. 3; time involved to get all the applications to reinstall and work, settings tuned to the current status.

I moved my research round-up to:

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crap Username:
Hey, cool forum :good:

I am trying to decide if a Nexus 10 is suitable for me. I currently have a Nexus 4 and a Acer C7 Chromebook.

I mainly browse the internet on sites like reddit, XDA (obv), checking emails and YouTube.

What attracts me to the Nexus is having the stock Android experience combined with killer specs like the screen resolution, I watch a lot of movies so having a high resolution screen is important because I prefer HD content (Who doesn't, right?). Also, will most content on YouTube play on it?

Is the battery life good? And lastly, is it worth getting a screen protector and case with a keyboard?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharp910sh:
Buy. Its very good.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dibblebill:
I secnod this, even if I'm having issues with Samsung's service. Hopefully you don't get a defective unit. Love the N10, hate Samsung.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3DSammy:
Had my N10 for just over a week and do all the activities in your list. I am very pleased with my purchase. I have a lot of tech devices and am rarely surprised but several times as I customize the UI or find another "cool" app I am amazed at the overall speed of the N10 and how visually impressive it looks.

If you try to use it outside of its intended sphere (media consumption) I asume you could gripe at what it does not do well. Mine replaced a netbook used for media consumption and it blew that away. Viewing emails and short replies are fine but I use my desktop PC for any extensive typing. Right now I do not intend to purchase a bluetooth keyboard.

The lack of accessories can be a pain. I had to make my own dock, so I could watch videos hands free in bed, while waiting for a better solution. It looks crappy but does the job.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eatonitis:
I got the N10 early December and haven't regretted it for a moment, I use it for all the activities you list, I travel for work and basically live away 3 to 5 days a week. My work Laptop is VERY locked down as I work in a secure business so the Nexus is my laptop replacement while I'm away, I used to lug two laptops at times but no longer. The Nexus does media, games and browsing in style. I also use it to maintain a couple of websites while I'm away and it works well with the simpler stuff. I wouldn't pretend it's perfect but all round an excellent package and I wouldn't want to go back to hauling two laptops round.

I found the MoKo case w/ bluetooth KB on AMazon for $28 to make a great stand and keyboard case. Keyboard's magnetic and removable, too
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anazei:
I have my Nexus 10 for about a week now and I also hesitated for a good while if I should buy it or not. Now that I've been using it for a while I can safely say that it was an awesome purchase.

The screen is brilliant, it's lightning fast, the build quality is top notch (none of the hardware errors that made me so worried in the first place, very solid back etc.) and it does everything I want it to do.

I got a Logitech bluetooth keyboard to go with it (you can find it here) - it says it is for the iPad, but everything works just fine for Android. It's big enough to make typing a breeze and I use it all the time during my classes.

Battery life is very good at about 8-10 hours of heavy usage (brightness adjusted to about ~30%), which lasts me the entire day and I never need to worry about running out before I get through the day.

Make sure you get a nice case for it as well and you're all set. I read so much about reboots and lockups, but during this week I've used the devise intensely and I didn't get a single reboot or lockup. I think Chrome crashed on me once and that certainly is nothing to complain about.

Media playback feels sooo nice - the screen really shines when watching movies and the speakers are also really good.

I was weighing so many options - the Transformer Prime, different Asus und Acer tabs, I even looked at the Surface RT and the Sony Xperia Tablet Z which is gonna be released soon. It was a close call between buying the Nexus 10 now or waiting for the Xperia Z - in the end the small battery on the Xperia Z made the difference for me. I need at least 8 hours usage from my tablet and I wouldn't have gotten that from the Sony device, so I'm very, very happy.

It's the best tablet out right now and I'm saying that after watching hours of Youtube reviews, reading on a lot of sites and finally having the Nexus 10 at home. You can't go wrong with it!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I love mine. It was a Christmas gift from my wife and I've used it everyday since. I use it for what you described. I'm not much of a gamer, but every so often I might play something.

Regrading battery life, mine is more than acceptable. Over the weekend I got over 48 hours before having to charge it (about 5 1/2 hours of screen on time) and yesterday, with heavy usage, I got 7 1/2 hours of screen on time.

One bit of advice, if you can, buy it locally from Walmart or Staples instead of going through the Play Store. Unfortunately, there are some units that suffer from bad light bleed and other issues. Exchanging it at a store will be easier than the RMA process with Google.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alicarbovader:
Even I'm stuck wid the same problem... One of my czn's got the N10, and he's getting a 100% CPU load wid nothing on it.... No background process, nothing else.... And reading abt the defected ones is so scary, that to me, every second N10 seems to be defected (Okay... that's a bit of exaggeration, but yeah, it feels like that...) Would someone recommend a good place to buy an Un-defected :D N10???
[Defy General] Taxman.:
Hello everyone!

I´ll bother you with a few quick questions:

I have a stock rooted Motorola Defy+ (MB526) which is laggig way too much.

I wanted to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Is there a stock "Recovery Mode"? Judging from screenshots, i think so. However i can only see the "wipe cache" option. Is the "wipe dalvik cache" option not available in this recovery mode? Can anyone suggest a better way in which i can perform such wipes?

Once again, thanks everyone in advance!
[Defy General] z3ro-grav1ty:
Wipe dalvik cache isn't available in Stock Recovery Mode - I believe stock is only used to root the phone.

You need a custom recovery - search for 2nd-init (v2.3). That will install a bootmenu which is accessible when the notification light turns blue after you boot your device. When you are in bootmenu, select 'Recovery' then 'Custom Recovery' and it'll take you to a version of CWM. From there go to 'Advanced' and you will see 'Wipe Dalvik Cache' :)

Also from CWM you have the ability to 'Apply .zip files from sdcard' which is how you flash custom ROMs, which could help with your lag issue.

Hope that helps
[Defy General] Taxman.:
Thanks! I was already reading about this. Glad to know i´m on the correct path!

I'm really looking forward to the test with blinkfeed on.

Maybe you could also do blinkfeed and google now on ? That way we can see the real impact of these apps.

Google now is pretty amazing, would hate to dissable it.
[One (M7) General] ataft:
wow, now just imagine the SoT you could get with a custom Rom/kernel. I wouldn't be surprised for average users (ie. people who don't cripple their phone in exchange for battery life) to hit 8-9 hours.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
There's no secret to how this person got 7 hours of screen on. Just look at his wakelocks. Only 10-40 minutes over a whole day.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Yes I minimised my wakelocks, I had my phone on a lot more than 10-40mins, I think you should read everything thoroughly
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
I've been testing it with blinkfeed on, Google now on and on mobile data throughout most of the day for a while. I've had the phone for more than a month now so I've had many different scenarios with the phone already. I can tell you that the battery life does suffer a bit if you have blinkfeed and Google now turned on. Also obviously if your on mobile data for most of the day you will get worse battery life as apposed to Wifi. Signal strength is another factor, weak signal is more drain. I get over 5 hours screen on time easily most days on really heavy use. On medium use 7 hours for me, would be awesome with custom kernels, underclocking etc. I'm on stock at the moment
[One (M7) General] ksarius:
You were getting 5hours with blink feed and Google now???

Also sorry for changing subject, but you had it for a month already. Do you use case? If not, how is the phone handling scratches?

Hmm. Interesting.
[One (M7) General] milestoneman:
I get nowhere near 7 hours so I've turned blinkfeed off and will see how it goes. I do like Google now so that's stayiing :)

I get really fast drain as soon as I use chrome
[One (M7) General] ZaPP187:
I experienced the exact same thing! The battery drain while using Chrome is VERY heavy! I compared it with the stock internet browser and 10 minutes using Chrome drains the same amount of battery as 36 minutes using stock browser!

Yes, with blinkfeed and google now I got 5 sometimes 6 hours of screen on time.

Nope no case at the moment, have been looking around for a while though, will be getting one soon. I've got one tinnyy scratch on the back, not really visible thanks to the silver. Can only be seen if you know about the scratch and look for it purposely under good lighting.

Yes thanks for linking it, I forgot to link it. I used this to end my horrible battery drain caused by media server.
[One (M7) General] hung2900:
Yes. I felt unbelievable when I saw almost no difference between awake time and screen on time.

Curious about how the OP can achieve it.
[One (M7) General] htowngator:
being on Wifi the whole time helps this a lot
[One (M7) General] milestoneman:
Well today 2 hours on 3g using chrome used almost 50% battery with low brightness.

After reading people had said go to...

Settings > developer settings and disable tilt scrolling.

I wasn't even aware if this feature, anyway it has been switched off and will report back if it helps :(
[One (M7) General] goulies:
Lte was active on my phone when the got it, even tho there's no Lte in Ireland yet.

It can be turned off in settings - mobile data.

This could help the battery also.
[One (M7) General] nookcoloruser:
Where is tilt-scrolling exactly ? I can't find it in developer settings.
[One (M7) General] milestoneman:
Within chrome menu, developer tools, then it's the first option.

Not the main settings of android.
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
I don't even get on-screen times like OP'S on my Note 2, which has a bigger battery.

Even if on wifi all day. Crazy!

I am currently at 19 hours with just over 3 hours on-screen and 38% left.

Have everything you disabled too.

Some people are just miracle workers!
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
You must have a crap ton of wake locks.

Check this from my note 2 when my Htc one comes ill see how much usage I can get.

This was before I reduced the wake locks even further.

This is on a Verizon note 2. I managed to get it down to loosing 1% over 8 hours by eliminating a ton of the wake locks.

How can you check your phone with the linked application since the One is connected as an MTP Device? Only thing I can choose is the virtual drive with the HTC Sync App

Download this http://m.download.cnet.com/MP3-Checker/3000-2141_4-10543407.html

Just copy your music folder from the one to your computer. Then run this and select the music folder you just copied. It will tell you if you have any corrupt files,then just delete them. I have looked at my first post and I have gone through this, just saying.
[One (M7) General] m00moo:
Don't work imo. Mediaserver wake locks I believe are from the apps that use audio or sound, video. This mp3 thing is just over rated
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
It really isn't... I had insane wakelocks every time I listened to music. Apparently my music would still play in the background on something like that causing the media server wakelock. I had like 8 hours of battery life during the day :( I found 20 corrupt mp3 files, deleted them and since then I've been getting insanely good battery life and screen on time (hence this thread was created). It has also worked for many others in different device threads as this is a universal problem
[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
I do have something keeping the screen awake when in stand by mode. I have that wakelock app, but don't understand it much.

If that is stock battery, that is amazing! I just ordered a extended 6200 hyperion battery to get better life. Not really fixing the wake lock issue, but will hopefully get me through a whole day, which is all I ask for.

Most I have gotten has been 1 day 1 hour and 6 hours on-screen time.

How did you get rid of all these wake locks?

---------- Post added at 10:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Are these corrupt music files from downloading music off your computer?

If so, would explain my problem more than likely. I download a lot.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
Yeah its the stock battery

Essentially I downloaded wakelock detector then looked at what caused it went in titanium backup and froze a bunch of things and they reduced my wakelocks battery life improved.

Heres a shot 8 hours 1 percent lost no airplane mode or anything. Just 4 min of wakelocks due to gmail sync etc.

And on lte as well
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
If you think that the two phones are even close in battery life you're only kidding yourself. The Note 2 is gigantic for many people, the One is about the right size for one-handed use for most people.

The One is more battery efficient though, no question about it. 2300 mAh battery pulling 6-7 hours screen on and days of standby with it getting within spitting range of a 3100 mAh battery is nothing short of amazing.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
MediaServer on android is the one doing the indexing of the media file and passes all the item it indexes to the gallery, music player etc.

Without mediaplayer you won't be able to see any pictures & music in your gallery/music player but you can view & open them using a file manager. This is the same as the "tracker daemon" on linux. That way when you open a song on your music player it doesn't have to scan the whole drive looking for the mp3 you want to play.

You could probably say it is the sorting facility of the OS.
[One (M7) General] apple002:
Is it ture? As far as i know, the battery life is a big issue to smartphones, the battery can't last long on onetime charge.
[One (M7) General] Nyxagamemnon:
When did I say the one would be close all I said was I want to see what it will get.

And I dont know about you but 8 hours at one percent lost is pretty dam good on my note 2

[One (M7) General] joshoon:
First of all, thanks for doing this, and testing everything, and sharing it with us.

I have my device on for 3 days now (have it off in night), and I'm only on WiFi.

I use WhatsApp sometimes, been looking around on Play Store, and been making and uploading some pictures.

When I'm on 3G, I get around 9 to 11 hours battery life.

Now I heard you talking about BlinkFeed, that it might drain lots of battery life.

But I actually love BlinkFeed, but I would love to have a good battery life too.

By turning 'off' BlinkFeed, what do you mean by that?

Te setting to sync automatic is set on using 3G and Wifi to refresh it. (Default is on Wifi only).

Does putting it on 3G and WiFi refresh drain lots of battery life?
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Just go into topics and services and Untick everything. It won't populate anything. If you use our then there's no point but I've found that while it's turned off I get better battery life.
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
I got 7 hours screen on time while I was stock aswell. But yes, you should wait until we get s off.
[One (M7) General] joshoon:
Alright thanks.

I actually love it too much to turn it completely off.

You were also talking about apps that are active (and you don't use them) should be turned off.

Like Google Now, I removed that one already, and I've also been looking in Settings > Apps > Active apps, to see whats active out there.

Is there any more I should take a look at?
[One (M7) General] yvibes:
Google maps, there's some latitude setting that you should turn off. I have posted many things in the op. I will soon update it with further with things that I have tried and tested over the 2 months I've had this phone.

I'm not sure, I asked tbalden personally to implement commits to stop that drain, not sure if it's in bulletproof or any of the other kernels.

Hmm alright.

I am also thinking to try another kernel along with the Android Revolution HD Rom.

But I'm not sure which kernel to take, the bulletproof or the Tbalden's one.

Seems like the Tbaldens kernel is more used.

I think Im going to try the tbaldens anyway :)

Try it out, I'm about to switch to faux kernel. That way I would have tested all kernels made for the one and will know which ones best for me.
