[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Homey:
Can anyone tell me what this does?

I've heard it mentioned that it uses more battery but the text under the switch says that it reduces battery usage!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sttovo:
I don't remember where I saw it, but was told it only takes effect during sleep. So, wifi usage while screen-on is not impacted by this setting. When the tablet is sleeping, there's some kind of power-saving with Wifi, assuming you allow it to stay on. I don't notice any change in battery with it on or off. My tablet sleeps well, so others might have a different experience.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lonesomedove:
I am using Nexus 10 16GB tablet for about two months in Saudi Arabia where it is not official to have one. In first place about one month back i had a problem it did not turn on even I press ON/OFF button then I put it in charging and it's button responded and it turned on. Last night it showed same problem No ON on pressing On/Off button then I put it to charge and it started and to my astonishment it reset the date to 1/1/2012 and time to 3:29 pm both wrong and showed battery power 1% while I remember last time it's battery was 62% and no one dropped it or spill water on it. Before this It once restarted by itself while I was writing email and once more when I was using you tube app and on another instance it restarted while I was playing Temple Run 2. Can anyone tell me it might be a software issue or a hardware one. I cannot contact Google as this Tablet is Not for Saudi Arabia. Please help me if some one can. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] fuzzyslk:
Hello,

I noticed this last evening as my data allowance for the month had abnormally run-out well-in advance... since i get just 350MB of mobile data free every month.

When i checked the "usage" in settings, the below screenshots are what i saw. "Android OS" had downloaded 228MB in the background...

my question: what is the 228mb that was downloaded?

i usually use my mobile data only for facebook / whatsapp / email... but i doubt any of that would show up under the data used by Android OS right?

i have a rooted rom with Yoda's ICS ROM running on my gsm evo 3d on hboot 1.49 s-off.

any info greatly appreciated!

thanks!

I got off work tonight and washed clothes, about 20 mins into the wash when it started spinning I kept hearing bang, bang, bang, bang. Went to look and noticed I could see my phone flying by. I took it out real quick, dried it off, and hit the power button and it seems to work fine somehow...I thought I was gonna be sad :( I'm pretty sure the hard case I have on it saved me from having broken glass <3 Seems to have had one casualty though, the speaker doesn't work anymore. Cannot play music or hear anything on the earpiece now. Bluetooth still works fine with my headset.

Are there any good sites to buy replacement parts? Doesn't seem like speakers should be too hard.

I don't know if Telstra is having a bad week or if my metal case is reducing signal strength.

Does anyone else have a metal case for their XDAII and has noticed poor coverage?

Thanks..

ps. yeah I am normally with Optus, I'm using a work sim card while on call.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] skenliv:
I will be recieving my metal case this week, so il keep u posted. Got a program that shows the network coverege in %, so il use it to check.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MBastian:
I have read in several posts that the signal strength is weakened up to 40% using the Proporta metal case.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] amir77a:
Can you share the name of this software with us?

I have very bad reception at home. I wish to check the coverage around here.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] demstav:
Yes, i can confirm that it does reduce strenght. This is the reason i have order the new vaja case (www.vajacases.com)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ph4824:
This is an interesting question? I've just purchased my XDA II with some accessories including the metal case - with a Proporta.com label inside. Not sure if this is the one you are referring to but last night I went for a drive in my car. The XDA II was sat in a car holder back to front because the nob that connects to your belt gets in the way. Anyway, my wife called me 5x times whilst I was driving and the phone did not ring at all!

Having said that, I have just come across this forum, read your comments about this and done a test - testing signal strength before and after the case was fitted.

No case: signal strength 2/3

with case: signal strength 2/3

So I don't really know if the case is reducing the signal strength at all, but last night was wierd to say the least! Anymore comments about this would be appreciated.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] skenliv:
I was going to use My|Phone´s signal function, and then remotely connect to the XDA II and see what the signal is when the case is closed, and then compare it to when i have it taken out of the case.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Blaze_au:
I used My|Phone for a bit, and there was a difference between out of the case, in the case and with flap open, and in the case with the flap closed.

Strangely the signal strength was all over the farm, but on the whole i would ahve to say it appeared to be lower in the case.

I love the security the metal case gives me, but I hate how i always have to open the flap to see what is happening with my call etc.

I'm going to look at getting a clear hard plastic case when they are available locally.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ph4824:
How have you all found using the leather case that comes with the XDAII ? I used mine for a day or so but liked the look of the metal one more. My only concern with the leather case was the locking clip, it looked like it could snap off easily?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MartinHSabag:
Yes it does reduce the reception.

I have the proporta aluminium case and it does, but not too much.

Unless you are in a really bad reception area, it shouldn't effect you.

Before I bought it (ebay) I made sure with the seller that if it was going to effect my reception bad enough to miss calls or something I would get my money back.

I'm happy with it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] wouterk:
Yes the case reduces the reception a bit. But not that much. I have "the other" metal case. Not the one from Proporta but I can't remember who made it.... :oops:

Don't forget that reception will sometimes change depending from the place were you are. There are several places on the road were reception is bad and sometimes I can be sitting at one place and have good reception and suddenly it is almost gone :( . This is the providers fault :evil:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ph4824:
Well I went for a drive in the car today and my wife who was sat next to me rang my phone - Virgin to O2 network. I had the music on and the ring tone I set was too quiet. She rang the phone again, whilst the phone was in the metal case, and sometimes the phone would ring and other times not within a space of a few minutes or so. Upon taking the XDA out of the metal case and putting it back in the phone holder there was no problems!

It's a real shame as I like the case. I am considering taking it back now and using my leather case instead Plus, I can see the metal case getting marked very easily!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] skenliv:
Im going to remake my aluminium case as i recieve it. Cut a hole får the screen and put in a plastic window.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Frank2:
I have made more than 40 tests with and without the metal case at several places.

I am using phonedashboard to show the signal level in %.

The metal case is ALWAYS reducing the signal level 15 to 30 digits.

In example I have placed my xda on a table without metal case and the signal level is 80%. Than I have placed the xda again with the metal case on the same place (i have marked the place) and the signal level ist 65 %.

I have made this procedure again and again to get enough data to compare.

Now I have a vaja case and no signal problems any more.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Blaze_au:
I wonder if removing some of the case near the antenna would help...

hmm.. I think I'll just get a plastic case...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
where do you say that antenna is placed ?

i mean you could think that it's where it was on xda1 but

from this i cant say for sure

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaHardwareOverview

not sure if you are talking about the external antenna connector but that would not help unless you connected an antenna to it

the antenna is inside the xda2 and is as long as the device

to 100% free it you would have to cut the case in 1/2
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] skenliv:
Now i recieved my Aluminium Case for the XDA II. Looks nice, but its very much more bulky than i thought. And the beltclip is a big JOKE, it hangs loose and bad! And besides, there is a belt clip included with the Proporta Alu Case. Just incase you are going to place an order...

Umm, im not shure if i am gonna be satisfied with it, dont quite like it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mikeaus:
One disadvantage of having an internal Phone antenna is that it is easily blocked. The aerial is inside the black plastic at the top.

If you put it in a pocket then it is important that you place it with the screen towards your body so the aerial is unobstructed for receiving calls.

When holding it during calls,it is important not to let your fingers cover the aerila if you are in a weak signal area.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well the antenna are never fully external

like on the xda1 only some of the antenna is external

it would most likely be internal aswell

Please help. Before I end up self harming or throw this beautiful phone out of the window and under a bus!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilabs:
Is this the only instance you've noticed it since buying the phone? Coz all the stats show is that google services took 68% of your total battery loss till now, so you roughly lost 4% of your battery to google services. The screen will be the max user if you keep the screen on for longer. Try running the whole day and see the battery usage by google services throughout the day. Are you using google now?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philliplavelle:
Hi there.

It's not the only instance. I had this the other day too. My battery was draining like something ridiculous. About 10% am hour in idle mode.

Even at the current rate, I lost about five percent in a few hours when the phone would be in deep sleep. Seems to be preventing that happening..

I'm on my third full recharge now since getting the phone
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilabs:

Alright anyway.. this will work for a stock evo lte w/o root, and if your running custom Rom with root it will also work.

You must have your msl!

Step 1. Dial ##3282# box will pop up, hit edit mode. Enter msl ______.

Step 2. Go under Advanced, scroll towards the bottom, click on mmsc setting.

Step 3. Change all the settings to what I have an the picture. View attachment 1924027 After you do that just back out and start sending pictures.

This works 100% for me! Also if you cant get it working. I'll be more then happy to help!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.han:
Yes, no noticeable issues here after update, seems a bit faster even, but could be my imagination. My phone heated up quite quickly already before update, and it's still the case.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD1098:
While I received my One with the 1.29 update already on it, my device gets hot after only 10-30 minutes of use and my battery life is around 4 hours of screen on time; I'm not sure how that falls in line with other One's? I almost made my own thread earlier but decided to wait it how and observe a bit longer
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
No problems to report with mine after update. A little bit better than before i might add.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.han:
Same here mate, I follow the battery thread, seems most of people share the same battery life with you and me, if you want longer you will have to sort those wake locks out.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD1098:
Part of the reason I wanted to make my own thread, or at least comment on one like this was about those wake locks. For example, in gsam google maps has around 4400 wake locks, Facebook has 800, Chrome around 300. Are those normal? I know in those various other threads they were talking about the media server wake locks, but when I check those I only had around 40-50 (having used the play music app only twice) so I'm not sure what is considered "normal" to each app/activity/service. If I may, does your One get warm/hot just as quickly as mine and the OP's? Perhaps the "perceivable" heat of the phone is higher due to it being made from metal, but is not actually something to be concerned about. System Monitor reports my battery as being in the 37C-40C range after the 30 minutes or so of usage.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michael_Mcr:
I have had no problems with mine after the update. It did get warm in use before the update.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxBrun0xx:
You need a kernel capable of overclocking to overclock, so keep an eye on kernel development. It's sure to pick up the Razr hd family now that we've unlocked the BL. Also, underclocking > overclocking. I've got an ATT HTC One X, which has the same processor and, thanks to the magic of project butter, I've underclocked as low as 1.3ghz (the lowest current kernels are capable of) without seeing any difference in performance. I do, however, get much better battery :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Blaze_au:
I like how cell phones are able to display the cell they are currently working in.

Are the XDAII's able to do this? All I have seen displayed is the carrier.

I did notice a program in the forums, but that didn't display the cell names only a code. Plus this program had a lot of features I don't need, all I want is the cell/tower name.

This information can't be coded into the phones as new towers are poping up here in oz all the time, so the towers must be sending this info out.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Arkobad:
Many phones can display even more! Nokia NetMonitor can display TimeAdvance (it means DISTANCE) from seven closest cells (BTS). In a smart device (such as XDA) it could be used for navigation. All you need is a database of cells with they coordinates. Then, if you know your distance to at least 3 of them, you can calculate your position. It is the same principle as GPS. One could create a "GPS driver" which will provide coordinate information to standard GPS map software so you'll have GPS without the need of GPS card - but less accurate.

So the only question is: if Nokia (and other GSM phones) is able to retrieve and display the distance from 7 closest cells, is XDA able to do so?

The problem is that you downloaded the second update that Verizon pushed out.
