[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
On the stock 4.0.4 ROM, I'd get about 10-12 hours of casual use, less if I was gaming. Eco-mode didn't seem to help.

With stock 4.1.2 ROM, it improved by a couple of hours.

It was when switching to custom ROMs (AOKP, CM, RootBox) that battery usage really improved. I now get 36-40 hours of casual use, including some light gaming, on a regular basis. Without limiting max CPU freq to under 1.5 GHz.

Note: this is with NFC off, and with JuiceDefender managing the other radios (so they are off when the screen is off).

It's a mystery how phones are soo advanced. And battery are. Soo. Poor.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kiwinazgul:
Well, the fact that they are so advanced is exactly what makes the battery seem poor. Battery's just haven't improved as fast as phones have.
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
What sucks is the stupid drive for "thinnest phone ever" that everyone is in. Add a few mm, make slightly thicker (which would also make if easer to hold), and add more battery capacity already!

The Motorola RAZR Maxx should be the minimum standard for battery life.

I'm selling my I-Mate. Its about 1 1/2 month old, and in good working condition. No scratches or other issues with it. Reception is poor in my area, and I'm saving money for the new IPaq when it comes out. If you want to make an offer, PM me here or email jon@bugjr.com. I figured I'd put it here and on PPCT before ebaying it to give other xda-o-philes a chance to buy it first. No reasonable offer will be denied. Includes manuals, cradle, battery, and handsfree.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] arthurgreeeen:
My friend has Simple Mobile on his Verizon Galaxy S3 with texting and calling working, but no data. So I tried putting the APN from the Simple Mobile configuration site but when I go to the APN settings, there's no option to add a new APN. So I'm stuck wondering how others got data (edge/2g/3g) on their Verizon Galaxy S3 with Simple Mobile. And yes he has a data plan. NEED HELP ASAP
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sinker1345:
I use apn manager to add apns. You have to make it a system app to add the apn info though (I used titanium backup for this). I don't know what bands simple Mobile users for data but make sure the s3 has those bands otherwise all you will be able to do is voice and text.

Have a read through the make your s3 a world phone thread for more info on this. That's where I learned to add apns and figured your the radio band issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
No need for patching, aroma will take care of all that during install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
I think it may need the global_config.jar from the vzw note 2. Ill try to put a zip up for testing.

Arr thrre amy indications or things that dont seem normal in the activating network for data?

I couldnt get data to work either...

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

The Verizon logon has stopped
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
No it seemed normal. It never connects instantly even on a VZW rom.

I got this message too. I ended up just disabling it for time being. The data issue was more pressing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] the_plattypus:
Try this. Flash a working vzw rom. Then do a dirty flash of r85 custom install and select bypass activation option. See if data works then please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Platt,

What is the r85 supposed to do? I flashed another vzw rom and then the r85, the data came right up,but it doesnt seem like the r85 does anything...I didnt notice any changes after I flashed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] littleguevara:
So say I flash our stock OTA deodex, then r85, should I boot inbetween flashes?

It is my understanding that r85 is basically a patch weighing in a 32mb, is that correct?

This gets annoying because the screen would dim after 1 second of not touching it, then blanks out in the next second. I'd go to change it to 5 minutes and it would stay that way for a while. Then for some reason it would randomly go back to 2 second. I don't even know why 2 seconds is an option as that's way to quick...can anybody help me out?

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

It appears to trigger when the battery drops down past 50%, and i have not enabled power saving mode. It's weird cause the 2 second timeout option is not there when i reopen the screen timeout setting when the bug is not occuring.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jus74au:
i'm just about fed up with this 2 second screen timeout thing. That i am ready to take it back to the store, where i bought it from.

Edit: well I've done some researching with my friend (google) hehe. Light flow....seems to be the problem!! It's been 2 days with out the 2 second screen timeout.

Does anyone else know a similar app to light flow...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MonkeyTime:
Nice! Not that you have the problem, but that you found a fix. I'll uninstall Light Flow and see how it goes, it was driving mgs crazy too!

I was using Light Manager, it works great, but doesn't have near the flexibility of LF. I found it because LF always worked on and off for me.

Let me know if you find a better alternative....

Thanks and good luck!

Running 1.92Ghz and GPU stock speed since the ocing is broken for the GPU.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Slymasterium:
I also get similar scores as you all, but the biggest factor is our GPU we are running a older version of drivers witch is 2.0 GL the nexus for example is running a 3.0 open GL.

It's also running 4.2 while I'm still at 4.1 not sure if that has anything to do with but on that 3d mark it gives you a graph. Processors at 11125, Graphics at 2356. I've seen the nexus graph at we beat the processor hands down our GPU in the other hand is found lacking. Nexus processor 9522 GPU 10119.

Not even sure if updating the GL version will help or its in the hardware.

I currently have a problem I hope you guys can help me with. I have been flashing roms for almost a year now and the last couple of weeks, I can't seem to flash any zips that are stored on my Kingston 16GB Class 10 SD Card. I perform a MD5 check when the zips are on the card and they pass, but once you try to flash it using CWM or TWRP, it comes up bad and the MD5 number changes so it no longer matches. I have tried multiple formats of the card and even ran error checking of the card and all tests have passed. What's weird is that this card is only a couple months old. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix it?

You mean "the unroot did work", and you are not presently rooted, right?

Did you simply try rebooting? I was confused about the update not working, then realized I simply needed to reboot, then the update worked fine.

If any bloat apps were even frozen in Titanium, you need to unfreeze them. I know you said you didn't modify the firmware. But you might have missed this, or didn't consider it "modifying the firmware".
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] roustabout:
Did you install busybox? It's possible that Samsung's looking for things other than the SU binary and busybox is one of the things a lot of folks install immediately after SU.

Use the PCsoftware "kies" of samsung , that will let you update / upgrade even if you are rooted.

It shows the latest firmware and your firmware so you know if you need to update or not.

You will lose root if you decide to flash firmware.

It may sound ridiculous, don't really understand why, but I had the same problem and googled it (don't remember where i found it) the solution for me was as simple as removing my SD card and rebooting, then the update option magically was available again.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadPicsel:
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if anyone knows of a fix.

While using the latest UK i9300 Stock ROM, my phone behaves as it should when on phone calls. However when I use CyanogenMod 10.1, my screen goes black and then flickers on and off when I press anywhere on the screen. The only way I have found to stop this, is to lay the phoine flat and the screen will stay on long enough to unlock the device.

It's nothing major and it's certainly not enough of a reason to make me use the stock ROM, however it does at times drive me mad.

This is happening even with no lock on the screen - just swipe to unlock? I don't know because I have a pattern lock and assumed it was just for security but if you keep your phone unlocked and it's still happening then I agree, it's stupid. No lockscreen widgets when using any kind of security is also stupid in my opinion.

I agree. Now that option only appears if you have your lockscreen timeout set for a few minutes and you manually lock the screen. When you unlock within the timeout period it will show your lockscreen widgets and you can swipe them to go right into that app.
