If you're not using it too much, it should definitely make it through two days if you stay in areas with good reception. I've used it quite extensively the past few days, between reading, browsing, and music/podcasts, and I still usually have about half of the battery left when I go to bed.
[HTC First] fungflex:
I don't think I could make it longer than a full day. I use my phone quite a bit during the day with 3 push email accounts, podcasts, and plenty of twitter.

For me I am 13 hours into a very heavy usage day in and out of areas with spotty service and I've got 27% left.

In my eyes that's great, but I always neurotically charge my phones overnight.

Thank you all for the feedback! If anyone else would like to chime in on battery life, please feel free to share your experience.

This device is the first Android device I've had that kept up with the iPhone. I'd say this is on par with my iPhone 5 which the Nexus 4 I had previously couldn't dream of reaching. The battery level is very comfortable.
[HTC First] lordlittlebrooks:
I agree. I think I've tried every phone on ATT (minus the HTC One and SGS IV) and this little guy definitely can get through an entire day without needing a charge. It's not on the same level as the iPhone, which I give a 10 out of 10 for it's relatively low mAH capacity versus performance, but it's been the best so far that I've tried on ATT.
[HTC First] mg2195:
Loloolololololol...cant tell if you guys are joking about the iPhone part hahahahahahah...unless you guys are only comparing battery life?

ANYWAYS...thinking of geting this for my mom as she is very bad with tech and from what ive been reading this phone is very easy to use...and seeing as there is a vanilla android underneath that supports that...anybody have any input?

I got it for my mom... LOL. and so far so good. She was coming from an iPhone 4. It took some work on my part to help her make the transition, but she's had it almost 2 weeks now and she has only asked me 1 or 2 questions. If she can do it, anyone can... :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcc5018:
Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to be able to adjust my phones brightness from the lock screen. I have a password lock, but when I take my phone outside on a bright day and fail to change the brightness beforehand, it is impossible to see the screen to unlock it. I would like either a button that toggles the screen to full brightness, or a slider available on the lock screen. I don't really want the auto brightness option turned on due to the fact it seems to drain the battery faster. If anyone can help, let me know. Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've installed Facebook Home and upon locking my phone, and then wake it up from sleep, I can see the FB Home screen saver, however notice that my "Home" button (in the middle) in Virtual Navigation Bar at the bottom went missing! (Please refer attached screenshot)

I also attached screenshot in normal condition where there are 3 buttons in Virtual Navigation Bar (which is Menu - Home - Back).

Anyone please let me know where can I fix the Home button missing? I know how to decompile SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk but I don't know where to trace it.

Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)

So i was playing around with some of the boot anmations on my rooted htc one v and after a reboot i noticed a small dim light on the left side of the "htc" logo on the top under the earspeaker, i assume it's the proximity sensor but i'm not sure if this phone has infrared prox sensor or not, i just need to know whether or not to be worried about this, i have tried rebooting, simulated battery pulls,etc. Any ideas??? :confused:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Cathy:
I am still searching for the perfect case, but I have found one that is better than the original (well, that wouldn't be hard!).

This is 'Inno Pocket' model OX-0313, and I got mine brand new off Ebay 'Buy Now' for £20 plus £3.50 postage.

It is made of "Light weight aircraft grade scratch resistant anodized aluminium" and weighs 75g. It has lots of cut-outs and you can use charger (although not cradle), headphones and camera without taking it out of the case. You can answer the phone, and end a call with it in its case, too (which is what I like), although without being able to access the screen, you still have to open it to dial.

On the downside it isn't very well made - when it's open the cover sort of wobbles on its hinges, although it's OK when closed. It's also not easy to open (definitely can't do it with one hand) and would have been greatly improved with a nice, swish press 'n' spring catch (I'm sure there's a technical term for this...). Also the texture of the case is such that it is incredibly slippery; I'm sure i'm far more likely to drop it, or that it will slide off a surface. Plus it's a bit awkward getting the stylus out. You have to remember to get it out before you open it, otherwise you have to close it again...

But I haven't reverted back to the old case yet...

Has anyone got anything better yet?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mosser:
I find its best to not put the XDA II into a case, it rattles around in my jacket pocket along with my keys and wallet and stuff and doesnt seem any worse for wear after 4 months like that, i put a scrren protector on as soon as i got the unit and it is a bit scratched but the screen underneath is mint
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] BillyO:
slippery

It is incredibly slippery. I have already dropped it down two flights of stairs - and no damage!

I use my old Toshiba E570 case.

Also the stylus slips out too easily - so I use my thumbnail sharpened appropriately.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rcpilot:
Re: slippery

I am using the Proporta Aluminium case for my XDA II. The case itself is slippery so I got some Egrips from Egrips.com to stick on the case. It works for me. A wee bit of bluetack stuck down the stylus slot will keep it there even if you a cartwheel.

Cheers.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
When I had the XDA1 I hated the case. I had to use it in the beginning because I was so afraid of it being scratched or damaged. In the end though I stopped using it (even after putting some protective pads on the magnet connectors when I discovered they were scratching the phone) as it looked a bit naff.

The XDA2 one is much better! It's lined with felt and there are no places where it can seemingly scratch the phone. Yeah it's a bit obstructive and you look an idiot if you try using the phone with half the case dangling from your ear (I've found the best way is to take it out when you have to use the phone), but otherwise I'm very impressed with how much better in all aspects the 2 is over the 1. It feels more like an expensive phone (which it very much is) and the case feels more protective than the old one.

I've got a screen protector for it too and though it dulls the screen a bit (annoying in the sunlight) they're well worth having. No more fanatical cleaning (and risking getting bits under the screen) due to fingerprints on the screen etc.

[HTC Desire C] ETheUser:
Hello! I am ETheUser and I have an HTC Desire C.. Now.. I have put screen protectors on it and they just keep getting scratches.. I've seen in a site called "Wikipedia" that the HTC Desire C has "Gorilla Glass" now I have searched it on google and found no evidence. I just wan tto know if the HTC Desire C really has a Gorilla Glass screen so that I won't bother getting screen protectors.
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
I got a couple of easy scratches, so after my tests, I concluded that it hasn't got Gorilla Glass. It's a shame really, but.. :)
[HTC Desire C] ETheUser:
I see. Well that's too bad. Though what do you use for protection? the usual screen protector?
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
Yeah :cool:
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
If you touch the screen in the middle with force it bends and flexes a little. Think of it this way, does glass usually bench like plastic? Nah lol I have a big scratch on my Desire C from my Dog, but yeah it is a real shame.

[HTC Desire C] MrToastedAndroid:
I was wiping my screen with the cloth you use to wipe glasses and now there is a moderately deep but small (less than 6mm) scratch at the upper right corner of the screen which appears to be getting bigger. I need a screen protector but where am I going to find one?

As for cases I am using a black case (see more in The Case Thread) and I have absolutely no scratches or dents on my phone, and I drop is about once a month.

[HTC Desire C] bogdy5:
screen protectors can be found on most of cellphones accesories stores or just order one from a online shop. altough the original htc screen protector for the desire c has a cut at the sensors area,most of the protectors out there don't affect them even w/o the cut (at least from where i bought mine).
[HTC Desire C] uchihasparky:
If it's a crack in the screen. And it's getting bigger, it's probably your finger that is your culprit. The pressure of your finger will gradually increase the size of the crack. Assuming it is a crack and not a scratch, because I've never heard of a scratch getting bigger over time...
[HTC Desire C] MrToastedAndroid:
It's just a scratch and I know how to control my finger pressure, maybe I am hallucinating? :p I'll still look for a screen protector at phone stores in my city, and if I find one that's good enough I'll share it to XDA

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kelton Rivas:
I've tried googling the problem to no avail. In the options of Google Voice I set it to receive text messages, but no matter how many I receive it won't show them--they keep going to my generic touch wiz app. How did you guys set it up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CrustyMcLovin:
It really depends on how you want to receive them. I use Google Voice exclusively and I have it configured to use the Google Voice app and not the stock SMS app. How do you want to receive them?

One thing to look at:

- Log into voice.google.com from a (desktop) browser. Look for the text on the left that says "Your number" and click on your phone number.

- You should see at least two items, the first being "Google Chat" and the second being your mobile number.

- Check the "Receive text messages on this phone" box if you want to receive your Google Voice text messages via the stock messaging app on the phone. I leave this un-checked though because I prefer to use the Google Voice app.

You should also be aware that Google Voice can only receive SMS messages. It does not work with MMS messages which are typically used for sending pictures and some group messages.

And finally make sure you have notifications turned on for your Google Voice app. Maybe you are receiving them but it just isn't letting you know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kelton Rivas:
This was very helpful, thanks! When I went to that page I saw the "Google chat" thing, along with my number (it was under registered phones). However, I couldn't check "receive text messages on this phone" because that option wasn't present. It also wanted $20 to port my number; is that something you paid? I have an access number that's different from my phone number, but I guess that doesn't help. What's next? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfedenzo:
I can't wipe my phone. So far I've tried:

Factory reset from Settings menu

Hard reset from recovery mode

fastboot -w

Flashing latest version of Yakju from Google

Locking and unlocking bootloader

Wiping from TWRP

Formatting userdata

In addition, I've tried uninstalling apps and removing files via adb shell. In both cases, the apps/files would return on reboot. (And the phone will reboot spontaneously when booted normally, although uninstalling some apps will make it take longer.)

Some background: I forgot to plug in my phone Friday night, and when I checked on it Saturday evening, it was dead. I plugged it into the wall charger, but it wouldn't charge. I poked around the charger port a bit, and got it working again. At 1/4 charge, I tried booting it, only to find that when doing a normal boot, it would stall at the Google start-up screen, while a recovery boot would show the dead android image with no text.

I had some more trouble getting it to charge, and ultimately damaged the USB port. (I got it replaced earlier today (Monday).) To fix the booting problem, I downloaded the latest yakju image from Google and tried flashing it. Not realizing that it would take 25 minutes to write system, I pulled the battery before that point. In spite of this, I was now able to boot the phone, even if it could no longer charge.

Today I got the USB port replaced, but found that the phone would crash every minute or so. I suspect that this is symptomatic of the larger problem of the phone not wanting to change from how it was Saturday morning when it died. No settings changes seem to stick. Every time I start up, I get the same SMS notification from Friday night. Deleted files are restored, and even my attempts to replace the recovery img with TWRP failed. (I managed to load it with fastboot boot, but it didn't do me much good.)

I've also run it through a successful flash of yakju, once I realized it would take half an hour to run. So far the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried is ODIN!

I have three sets of logs from logcat running up until the time of a crash, and the output of adb bugreport, if those are helpful.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alfedenzo:
I've attached the logs.

I've poked around a bit more, trying to get things working, or failing that, not working in a different manner. I started it up TWRP and ran a few tests. I uploaded the zipped image files to /sdcard, downloaded them again, and verified that result was identical. I used dd to copy the recovery partition to a file, grabbed it from the phone, and tried to use dd to copy TWRP over top. dd seemed to think it was successful, but grabbing the partition again, I get the same contents as before.

I'd assume it's something like the flash memory is never actually flushing its cache, so none of the changes I make get committed. I can run 'sync', and it will pause briefly if there was recent activity, but if I write data to a partition, unmount then remount it, the change is gone. If this is the case, I have no idea how I'd go about fixing it - the problem is sufficiently low level that the OS doesn't seem to be aware of it. If there are any tools available to test this, could you let me know?

At this point, I'm considering cutting my losses and getting a new phone.

Ok it looks like I have the same problem as alfadenzo, except when my Nexus finishes booting, I get a buzz, a red exclamation point in the battery icon, and a popup saying "battery is not charged, please plug in charger", and powers down.

I've flashed 3 or 4 different stock firmares via Odin.

I've flashed complete sytem img's via fastboot, first wiping everthing.

Despite all this, the same splash screen loads. I think its a from CM7

I've flashed cwm by itself via fastboot , but it doesnt stick. Instead I get the "exclamation point android" , and then the stock recovery which I cant do anything with.

I have *3* whole smacking batteries that I've used, allong with two seperate usb cables. One that came with the phone, and on that came with a different Nexus.

Is this a kernel or bootloader issue? Im all out of the options that I know of

Have you found the solution??

I'm trying to

- Flash ROM from fastboot

- Flash TWRP from fastboot

- Erase partition from fastboot

- Go to recovery and delete all data in /sdcard using adb

- Trying to delete 1 widget from home screen and reboot

- Try to restore stock image using Odin, Fail in system.img

Nothing happened. My gnex boot like usual to the old home screen and nothing changed.

Then it reboot by itself.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sudiptochoudhury:
Same problems with me as I reported earlier! Some are saying that the internal memory has gone readonly and its permanent!

Do you think you can contact Samsung service for a solution? I have thought of so, but need to bring out some time for that.

I haven't contact samsung service center yet. This is my old phone, it's already out of warranty so it might be costly.

On the same boat as you guys !

Same Scenario here ! :silly: ..... i got a GT-9250 brand new in box , was pulled out only once to try it out and it's in the EXACT same condition as mentioned by previous posters ! i have tried : Odin , fastboot flashes , Cyanogenmod Installer ( the one i had the most progress but failed as well ) , the regular reset procedure , nothing works ! its impossible to clean wipe the device !!! no matter what you do .... once the phone restarts , everything comes back again ! old apps , old data , old software !

I've read somewhere that the problem was related to the READ , WRITE permissions on the phone partitions , somehow .... and i know everyone of us come from different specific scenarios , but it may be worth to give it a try if someone knows how to help us out on that part because it makes sense, it seems the filesystem on the device is protected somehow and when we try to overwrite everything things go wrong ... :confused:

Too many people with that crazy issue without a solution , warranty claims or checks on that device are long gone blues ... so dont even think about it .... not with samsung or with the carriers ... its over for us , so we need to figure out a solution for this issue and get our devices back working properly ! :highfive:
