[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
I am suffering from the suspend_backoff wakelock. Under the partial wakelocks section the highest counts are "WifiStateMachine" and "DHCP". I am S-off and running Viper 3.2.6 with the kernel it comes with. I have done a full wipe (wipe cache, dalvik cache, even flashed Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL_for_One_XL.zip because I previously changed recoveries), and I have not installed any extra apps except for BetterBatteryStats.

Now, I believe I have read through every forum thread about this issue. No, I do not have Chrome installed. "Wifi Best Performace" is unchecked. I am not signed into any accounts, including Google or Facebook. Location services are disabled. It only occurs when Wifi is turned on. The closest thread I've come across would be:

The thing is, I am using my college campus's internet, so I cannot simply get rid of the "broadcast storm," if it even is the problem. If this were my problem, however, wouldn't many Android phone users on the college campus also be suffering from suspend_backoff? I guess the next step for investigating this problem would be to inspect my friends' Android phones and see if they have the same problem. I can't imagine this being a widespread problem though, as there would be many more complaints about this issue.

Does anyone have any suggestions/thoughts to help me out? I will appreciate any feedback :)

Also, I have monitored Wifi network activity on my phone using Wireshark, and I got a billion DHCP solicit requests. I do not know if this is pertinent information...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Get a separate router to grab the Internet and stay off campus lan? This way you can have your own lan while using campus Internet.

This is purely speculation of course. I've never had this issue or tried to resolve an issue like this. The real fix would be to ask your net administrator to incorporate the spanning tree protocol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
Thanks for responding. I don't have a router, and I don't want to spend money on one. Here is another thread for another phone that seems to have the same issue:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1915859

The OP is getting another wakelock WLAN_RX_WAKE, but his symptons are the exact same. Plus, he is using a university network too. Doesn't seem to be related to phones, as the OP is using a Galaxy Nexus, while the last post in that thread indicates that S3s can have the same problem. Furthermore, the OP states that his phone used to be fine until he flashed CM10, after which the wakelock started appearing. Then even after full wipes, the issue persists!!!!! I have also flashed CM10 in the past. That thread has not been resolved at all. What is going on??

Edit: I found another thread with similar problems:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
If the problem isn't with the device, how do you expect to fix it by doing something with your device?

I'm with exad, the issue sounds like it's with the wifi setup at your university. Maybe talk to the admins there??
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
Ok, I will try talking to the net admins here. Also, just to be sure it's a network problem, I'm trying to install BetterBatteryStats on my friends' phones to see if they are also experiencing the same thing on Wifi. So far, 3 out of the 3 people I have asked had less than 5% battery left when I asked them...I managed to charge one of them up a little bit, but then BetterBatteryStats kept crashing on the phone. I will keep trying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
If you're afraid cm10 caused it. S-off if you're not already and run an ruu. That will return everything to stock. If it continues its the network. If not it was your phone and cm10.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
Attached are my dmseg.txt and logcat.txt. I hope I did the logcat.txt correctly. I think the WifiStateMachine stuff in the logcat.txt should be more closely examined. I don't know what it means. Does it reveal anything?

Running an RUU seems like a significant time investment for me. Wouldn't I have to re-root my device, reflash a recovery, unlock bootloader and stuff? Plus, I don't know which RUU to use, so I would have to put time to do research. It even seems a little risky. I am S-off though.

I'm waiting on my friend's responses for their BetterBatteryStats logs. I really want to know what shows up, but they're taking their sweet time...If they are having the same problem, I can conclude for sure it's the network. Right now I think it's the network but have no concrete evidence.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
run the ruu. the ruu takes 10 minutes and wipes everything.

the ruu doesn't relock the bootloader so you can just flash recovery after and flash a rom.

here's the list of ruus with links. pick the carrier your phone came from:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=37227608

You can post whatever logcats and dmesgs you want. this is how you test to narrow down the cause.if i can invest the time to help you figure out the cause of your problem you can invest the time to complete the steps to figure out the cause. if its indeed cm10 there will most likely be no fix other than to not flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
I'm sorry if I implied that I would not run the RUU because it would take too much time. I just did not have the time at that moment to do enough research about it. I do not like to do things blind, so I spent an hour or two reading up on other people's situations. I decided that it is safe to go ahead and run the 3.18 RUU. In fact, it is running right now, and I really hope it's not going to brick.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
Thanks exad for the help. The RUU worked fine. I can now say with 100% certainty it's the network that's causing the suspend_backoff wakelocks. I am completely stock and am not even signed into my gmail account. I turn off the Wifi, and the phone sleeps normally. With Wifi on, the suspend_backoff wakelock keeps the phone awake ~80% of the time. Now for the next step...getting my university to change its network protocol?? That seems like a daunting task for a single student at a university.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Meh, I was being a **** anyway. Sorry :P

You'll be fine since you're S-OFF.

Keep me posted.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Either that or create your own network that only pulls only internet from the existing network. (Pure speculation, be prepaired to be able to return the router should it not work)

Sorry I couldn't offer a more feasible solution! Good luck friend!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] StopWastingMyTime:
I've been thinking about this problem, and I'm wondering:

Could this problem actually be Android's/the kernel's fault? In other words, could this problem be seen as a bug of Android/the kernel? Should the phone really wake up when it is connected to a certain network with lots of broadcast traffic? Couldn't the phone be programmed to ignore such traffic? From what I can see, this traffic should not even be waking the phone, as it is all DHCPv6 solict requests. What is also interesting to note is that it is DHCPv6 and not DHCP. I do not have any background in networking, but surfing the internet is still dominated by IPv4, correct? IPv6 is mainly for local networks?

I don't know what I'm getting at, but those are my thoughts...

[Off-topic] cruisin-thru:
Gazz, will you do me a favor please? On that 3870 ipaq, can you look in the settings/system/asset viewer section and see what is says under "bluetooth" and also under "display". The other thing, can you switch on bluetooth then do soft reset and see if bluetooth initializes automatically or stall giving error, bluetooth must be on when you do the reset.

I seem to have lost the bluetooth revision number and version, also it thinks it isnt a colour screen.
[Off-topic] gazzaman2k:
ill have a look tomorrow at versions my dads in bed now so he wont want me going in to get his ipaq

but the BT when u soft reset it it comes up some error crap but turn it off then on then off again and its fine :)

Toying with picking up one of these,

I've seen tons of camera comparison threads and vids but none of them ever seem to mention shutter lag.

Can any owners post their experience ?

Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shootind5nukes:
I have 2 problems with MMS. Problem 1 is when I am sent a picture that has text with it the picture appears small and I cannot zoom in on the pic to see it, I must save attachment which is way to many steps in order to see a pic. If I am sent a pic by itself I can zoom it no problem. I think this problem has been asked many times so it's not my main goal of this post. My main goal is problem 2, which is MMS videos appear very small, even smaller than the pictures do when sent with text. If I were to save attachment and watch the video from my gallery it would be full screen. Why does the messaging app play it so small? Is there a way to make the messaging app use another player by default. The screen shots attaches are of picture with then without text then a video playing(smallest one.)
[One (M7) General] mickliq:
The AT&T video for the HTC One shows a Mophie Juice case!!! Haleluyah. Hopefully it will come shortly after device intro...I think it took something like 5 months for their iPhone 5 case but that was due to the Lightning port....
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Saw that earlier. Its nice and all but I don't want the added bulk. Wayyyyyy to large to deal with all the time. Much rather carry around a separate battery pack I can plug my phone in to and charge.
[One (M7) General] mickliq:
I like having the battery case option. I haven't loved the separate battery pack for my One X+...inevitably it doesn't get charged when I need it. With a battery case, you charge both the phone and the battery case, especially when you travel.
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Useful but I don't think the increase in size justifies the ability to keep your device charged. Those things are massive. Didn't buy a slim phone to triple its size and weight.
[One (M7) General] lensgrabber:
True about adding size/weight but for people that are going on trips or will be away from juice for a while it will be worth the money. I have a New Trent 7100mah brick that can be used but sometimes it's easier to have a Mophie instead. I used Mophie on my iPhone 3g and iPhone 4. They saved my ass a few times. *IF* I but a HTC One (waiting for the 64gb unlocked dev version before I decide), I'll be picking up a Mophie. Maybe not as a every day carry item but for those times when I know juice won't be available otherwise such as plane trips.
[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
I can see it being useful for long trips and not always using it but id feel like its a waste of money. I'd rather have a brick and be able to charge multiple things for a cheaper price. Some of them aren't even that big.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
They better have designed it properly... It can't cover the top or bottom metal pieces on the back or it will trash reception. All the metal in the battery will block radio waves.
[One (M7) General] Hunt3r.j2:
Actually, no matter what this case will hurt reception. NFC will probably get weaker as a result...
[One (M7) General] bosotros:
I agree with the skinny talk. I can't stand adding bulk to a phone, and I know this particular phone will be just way too svelte to cover it up. I'm planning to get one of those external battery pack/chargers. It can live in my daypack while the phone rides in my pocket.

I'm ordering mine tomorrow from AT&T and I still haven't decided which color... it's black, it's silver, it's black, it's silver garrrgghhh

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajaasim1980:

do they actually give such huge capacity of power? I think even if they just give 3000 mAH its still worth it..what you say?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrAndroid12:
It seems doggy. Most high capacity batteries love to play the number game.

Some standard sized 2500mah batteries are actually poor quality 1500mah batteries that doesn't last as long as the stock Samsung battery.

Some thick ones are actually 2 1500mah batteries glued together making a total of 3000mah but often marketed misleadingly as 3500mah.

It is best to just get a oem Samsung power pack for the i9000.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] connman:
I thought I would create this post for others who might be considering moving to the Note 2.

I was previously using an Evo 4G. It was a decent phone after it was rooted, but battery life was still poor. After a lot of research and back-and-forth, I made the plunge and upgraded to the Note 2.

Here are my observations after having been using the Note 2 now for a week:

1. The size factor goes away quickly.

I was prepared to have a hard time adjusting to the size of the Note 2. The screen is larger than my entire Evo 4G! But after using it for a day, I was used to it and really liking it. Like I have read in so many other posts, I don't think I could ever go back to a small phone again. The size is really great.
​

2. TouchWiz takes some getting used to.

TouchWiz is the layer Samsung puts on top of Android, like HTC uses Sense. Before blowing away my stock rom on the Evo, I had been using Sense, and thought it was decent. Then I upgraded my rom on the Evo to a Jellybean AOSP rom, and really liked that much better.

TouchWiz is similar to the AOSP, with some peculiarities that take some getting used to, but over all I think it is superior to HTC's Sense. I don't know how much of it is the software and how much of it is a beast of a phone, but there is very, very little lag or stutter ever on the Note 2. It's just a joy to use.

The homescreen clock, however, is atrocious and was quickly replaced. I'm currently running WPClock 2 live wallpaper and like it much better, but still not quite what I'm looking for.
​

3. The camera is amazing

For either stills or video, for a phone camera this takes truly awesome photos. It's not up to the level of my Canon T2i, but for something that slides into my pocket, it comes pretty darn close. A whole 'nuther level from where the Evo 4G was. Not even in the same league. And the burst mode - just hold the button and it rattles off 6-frames-per-second. Again, not prosumer level, but for a phone it's pretty sweet.
​

4. Speaker phone is great

I have found myself actually using the speaker phone, and the people I'm talking to can't believe that they are on speaker.
​

5. Did I mention the screen is gorgeous?

Every time this past week I have needed to use the phone, it's made me smile. It's just a joy to look at. I know others will talk ppi and resolution and AMOLED etc, but from a sheer usability standpoint the display is just lovely. Bright, crisp, vibrant. It is just that good.
​

There are other things I'm sure I'll think of once I close this post.

But if you are looking for a new phone and are considering the Note 2, stop it and go get one. I don't regret it for a minute.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
Great observations. I'm shocked you didn't mention the battery life though!

Here are some tips and app suggestions for you:

S-Pen Toolbox - this lets you customise an app menu when you pull out the S-Pen

SwipePad + recent apps add-on - the best multi-tasking-app launching - app swithching program available

My script calculator - maths with pen and paper -sort of

Smart Screen Off - excellent if you have a flip cover or wallet style case

Now some tips:

The S-Pen is not only for taking notes, retouching photos and being artistic! It is veryeuseful when web browsing. The hover function works like "mouse over". It interacts with pull down menus on many web pages and enlarges thumnails!! Not many people know that!

As you seem to like photography I can also recommend:

PhotoshopTouch

PicsPlayPro

Snapseed

TouchRetouch

Afterfocus

Pro HDR Camera - wipes the floor with the stock camera HDR

If you don't have a case, get one. If you want a screen protector avoid the syrupy soft plastic ones. They do not look very nice -fter a few days with the S-Pen. I use cheap hard plastic ones that you can pick up for between $5-$10 for two. I change these every two months or so.

Enjoy you Note
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
Great post! (both of you, actually).

I concur with #1, absolutely. I think thats the biggest "hesitation" for most folk. And after a few days of using it, it didn't feel ridiculously big, as I feared, or others had mentioned. Weirdly, I think it looks smaller with a case on it. *shrug*

And yes, for once, I have a battery that I NEVER have to worry about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] connman:
Actually, I'm still exploring the battery life. I was a little surprised that I didn't experience the kind of battery life that others reported, and am experimenting with the reasons. Map was eating my battery, which I couldn't figure out because GPS radio was turned off, and I had not used the map app. Turns out it is actually Google Services through map and it automatically tracks your location, so now that I have turned that off, my battery is lasting longer.

Great recommendations! Thanks!

I just picked up a flip cover from Samsung, so will be really interested to see how well Smart Screen Off app works with it. I have also ordered the Sena case leather pouch.

As for screen protectors, I prefer to not use one. I know some are worried about scratching their screen. I think like this. In my generation, (grew up in the 70's) a lot of grandparents put plastic set covers on the seats of their cars. They were cheap looking, uncomfortable, and squeeky. But the people who bought their car used had awesome seats! I would rather enjoy the screen as designed instead of covering it up. Just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kingdazy:
One thing he didn't mention (and I agree with just about all of those suggestions) is Vignette. It is the only camera app I use, for actually taking pics. Its GUI isn't all happy-pretty-insta-filter-dumbed-down, but it hands-down takes some of the best pics I have ever seen on a phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
Sorry!

Vignette was the first photo-filter-camera app I bought!! And I use it alot for the Illford black and white which is really incredible.

I have over 30 camera and retouching apps installed as I write so forgive me for missing that one.

Now after checking how many I have installed I need to mention:

Aviary - the best sharpness filter I have found and also allows you to rotate images for hand to get the horizon…well horizontal ;)

Pixlr -

Paintersque

Great summary of first impressions. Very to the point. I came over from an evo 3d and I can say that even tough I liked sense I have grown to like touchwiz even more. The biggest plus of course is the battery life. Although I don't get the same life as some on here say they get I can use my phone from 7am till about 5pm on regular days. On my 3d I could barely make it to 12pm. All I can imagine is how great the note 3 will be or even this one once we get more updates.
