[General Questions and Answers] kjhman:
What should I do?

I've really been racking my brain lately on what to do. Because of the recent changes in Verizon's policy that basically take away upgrades as they make you wait the length of your contract before they allow you to "upgrade" your phone.... Anyway I digress...

I currently have a HTC Dna that I recently picked up for an excellent deal coming from a decidedly "too large" galaxy note 2. I've never really looked twice at HTC, but this phone is great. I've been debating weather to wait months to see if Verizon gets their version of the "one", or switch to AT&T and pick up one tomorrow.... Which brings me to my next question.... Do you believe the HTC One is worth upgrading to considering my current ownership of the DNA? A little third party input I believe would be beneficial.

Any thoughts, comments, concerns, or whatever. I hardly ever post to these things. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks

Just got a replacement Epic from Sprint about a day ago. Looks new, probably refurbished. They replaced my old one because it started having some problems along with fast battery drain and inconsistent battery level readings on the device.

So I have my new device along with a new battery from sprint, and I thought all would be well but my new epic and new batter is still draining about 10% every 20 minutes with light use (internet browsing over wifi w/ lowest screen brightness setting). Also, when the phone gets to about 30 or so percent battery life it starts lagging and when I pull the battery or reboot it, the batter meter will read real low (like under 10%) once it powers back up.

I am rooted, I installed The Peoples Rom all according to the instructions from qbking77 on youtube just as I had with my last phone without problem.

I have calibrated the battery twice, and wiped the battery stats in recovery.

I was having these same problems with my last epic which is why I had it replaced. Now I have a new one and new battery and the same problems. How can I fix it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
Also not using GPS, Bluetooth, etc

Just wifi and web
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Sounds like an application you are installing is the culprit. Search XDA for "better battery stats" and download/install that application. It will tell you what wakelock is your problem.

Wiping battery stats has been stated to do nothing to benefit the phone/battery/user. It's a placebo. (http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer)

GPS and Bluetooth being enabled is fine. They remain inactive until a process calls that action; such as opening Facebook or Maps.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
I don't have many applications installed. I installed the battery app just now, so now what do I do with it? How do I use this information?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Play with the settings in the middle and last drop down menus to pick a duration of time and then toggle the top menu to see what's keeping your phone awake. usually "partial wakelocks".

Also, if you have a virgin install, then you can very well have a battery on its' last leg. We have an old phone, so it is very possible you have an old battery. Yes, even from Sprint.

If you don't see any outliers in BetterBatteryStats, then I'd suggest just spending the $12 or $20 on an Epic 4G Touch battery. That one is a 1800mAh battery, compared to our phone's 1500mAh and fits in our phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
The only thing that seems to stand out is No or unknown connection (something like that) screen (which is always on lowest setting) and wifi (which I'm mostly connected to indoors) the battery that sprint sent me for the replacement is from the GS2 (that 1800mah that u were talking about)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
Here's a screenshot of the battery stats I just took. Its been about 20 minutes since I unplugged that phone, when I unplugged it, it was at 98%... I believe it was at 87% in that pic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Toggle the "other" drop down menu and select "partial wakelock".

Also, check your time without signal in: settings > battery > cell standby menu on your phone. Anything greater than 3% will be a battery drain.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
Ok here's screenshots of the things u asked for... all I've done since last post was browse a couple of webpages, and took a long shower lol
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Things seems normal from the screenshots. Could just be an old or bad battery. You could complain to Sprint about it, 50/50 chance on getting a free replacement.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
Ok I'll try that and hope for the best, are u sure there's nothing else i can check? Just to make sure?

Also, even if I get another replacement from Sprint, I may still go to Amazon or ebay... can you recommend any sellers or specific batteries... after market or OEM?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
The cell standby percentage is, in fact, greater than 3%

hence battery drain.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
I got mine off Amazon. I made sure I got an official Samsung battery (1800mAh). You shouldn't have any issues locating a few on there.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaKillaWilla:
Put your phone in airplane mode for 3-5mins, then take it off. Check and see if battery still drains.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
How can you tell?? What do I do to fix it?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
The screenshot you posted showed a cell standby percentage of 7%. I'm not sure what to do to fix it because it hasn't happened to me before.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j2gifted:
So I pulled out my old battery last night and put it in the phone, and allowed it to charge overnight. This morning I put my phone through its normal use. I've been on my old battery for a little over 30 minutes and have on dropped about 8% in this time. I still feel like that's a lot, but its better than 10% every 20 minutes on the "new" battery they sent. So I'm guessing this would mean it is the battery that sprint sent that's causing the problem?

Help me to understand what is the discussion here.

DPI? Isn't that a print value?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkeecz:
DPI = printing

PPI = displaying

DPI=PPI moreless

but both means same = resolution of viewing doesn't matter the way
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backyardpyro:
I don't think there is even a hint of truth to that. Its like 441 dpi

Provide a link if you've got one. . .
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
But what is the point of changing it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rauschkugl:
Icons and everything are displayed smaller so there will fit more info on the screen.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharkeecz:
yes, this is the reason for somebody who need it

I have tried

LCD Density Modder Pro - hangs on boot

Anything that works?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aHcVolle:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongilluley:
I used rom toolbox from the play store and changed mine to 320dpi and it's worked fine for the last 24hrs...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
what line did you change?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jongilluley:
Within rom toolbox go to build prop editor and click the search icon and enter lcd. It should return a few lines but one will be lcd. Density at 420. Just click that one and change to 320 and reboot...

Need to be rooted as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticCobra:
So how does going from a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch to fewer PPI (I've seem people talking about 240, 320, etc.) make things take up less room?

If an icon was 441 pixels wide, it'd take up an inch of screen space at native resolution. Change screen to 240 pixels per inch, and now that same icon takes up almost two inches.

Wouldn't you want to change to some number bigger than 441 pixels per inch to fit more on the screen? What am I missing?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Although we refer to this change as a 'dpi' mod it isn't. It is in fact a density mod. Android uses a set scaling factor for the logical density of the display. This is a Density Independent Pixel unit, where one DIP is one pixel on an approximately 160 dpi screen (for example a 240x320, 1.5"x2" screen), providing the baseline of the system's display. Thus on a 160dpi screen this density value will be 1; on a 120 dpi screen it would be .75; etc.

So the usual rules of DPI as you know it, for photography and monitor resolution etc don't exist here.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticCobra:
Aha...so you're talking about kind of a "normalized" density number that's independent of the specific device's pixel density. Thanks very much for the explanation, and sorry for interrupting the thread.

+ 1 i too have the same issue cant get thru may be in some models its not possible to get 0 after flashing
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Yes it will keep showing the count at 1 as long as you have a custom recovery. If you read the developers thread it has been mentioned that in order to keep bit at zero you'll need to go back to stock recovery and ROM.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
But according to him, he have used CF auto root, so recovery should be stock only unless he flashed some extra custom stuff.

[MENTION=4707189]xLeonardo[/MENTION]

How you checking flash counter, with Triangle away? then it will show you 1

just put device in download mode and check what is there for custom binary download

If it is 'No' then your counter is alrady reset.

Also you need to reboot device once normally after using triangle away, then after 10 min check counter.

If still it is 1 then as above said by bushako, check your recovery and kernel both are stock.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BratPAQ:
I bought triangle away months ago, it used to work on my rooted device. But the last 1 or 2 update of samsung stock rom has rendered this app useless. Now my note2 stays as modified.

I guess the last firmware update has fixed the loophole this app is using.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Not really. Just a few days ago I tried triangle away with Samsung's stock ROM xxdmc3 and it successfully set it to Binary Count 0. Provided the recovery is stock. I didn't really buy triangle away, I just downloaded it from xda but I don't think it makes a difference as they are the same version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
[MENTION=443052]bushako[/MENTION]

Agree

There is nothing wrong with application with any version, i think previous poster saying about status : modified not counter.
[MENTION=1228228]BratPAQ[/MENTION]

if so, that is not a big issue, there is already some tricks are there, and last option wiping will reset to official.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
Oops didn't see that...so if my guess is right BratPAQ wants to keep his phone rooted and still have status as official?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLeonardo:
Yeah I didn't flash anything else. Recovery is stock.

Yeah I've been checking with Triangle Away. Checked with download mode and it says No, so I'm guessing all is fine now.

Just wondering why on the Triangle Away app it doesn't show my current status?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clearday:
Set Triangle Away to auto reset the counter at reboot and you should be good to go.

Isn't flashing a file in ODIN harder than just copying your efs backup folder and pasting it over the newer efs?

I've been doing that since the beggining of times and it's infinitely easier and inside the own phone.

No.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:
The way OP stated is a better way to backup. its complete backup the whole STL3 partition.

this can even safe your phone from efs partition corruption.

eg, in term of windows, if your PC system partition is corrupted, do you think copy a system32 folder back into the windows directry will recover you PC fully? or you recovery using the backup image will be better.

OP, the zip file you attached is the copy of your efs folder? if yes, than it is content your imei file inside, i donot think it is approprite to public it.
