[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramkhalsa:
Theres a thread in general about getting 6hrs SOT, check that out.. and then there was some stuff in the great battery impression thread.

I'm not sure which of these changes made the biggest difference but basically in maps make sure location reporting/updating is turned off, that definitely makes a difference. I also had google now off but it was still only 3hrs with it off so I dont know how much of a difference that makes.

If you try a new kernel like franco/matrix, make sure you give it a few days to settle in. I under clocked a little and uv'd by 100mv but I've read that those things don't make a big impact on battery life, just help with heat and stuff. I also set max core to 2, i think that helps and honestly I didn't notice any difference in performance and I don't think it cripples your phone unless you want to play intense games.

The 2 newer things I did which I think really made a difference were getting greenify and hibernating facebook and family feud, which were always running in the background. So definitely try that and hibernate whatever you don't need running all the time. The other thing I did was turn off "backup my data to googles servers" since I use titanium backup anyways. I think these made a big difference. I also turned off screen touch sounds and lock/unlock sounds.

So try all that and see how it goes. I'm mostly on wifi and I do use gps occasionally, as well as heavy texting, whatsapp, and fb messenger and a lot of words for friends. so I guess 4hrs isnt bad, with a good 12-18 hrs standby.

Hope this helps!

I got much better standby time than that but yeah, mostly 3hrs and we do care, thats why we're trying to find solutions/improve. What rom/kernel do you use?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayMix:
Thx vikrom that was helpful i will check that out.

As of last week i was using aokp with franco kernel ms1 and i was getting around 3 hours sot and 9 hours stand by time.

now im using CM with franco kernel ms1 and im getting almost 7 hours sot and almost 24 hours stand by time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramkhalsa:
You're welcome. Holy crap wow thats a huge difference. Any other changes you made because thats kidna ridiculous lol. I might have to finally go to CM if it really changes that much. almost 7 hrs sot??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayMix:
Nope nothing special just CM, franco Kernel, a few options turned off and setcpu which is under volted a bit. I will upload a screen shot soon. With heavy use i get around 4+ hours sot and still close to 20hours stand by time. With light use like texting a bit of web browsing and stuff like that yes you can expect 5+ to 7 hours sot and stand by time of around 24 hours.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramkhalsa:
That sounds good to me. On AOKP with Franco was able to get about 18hrs standby and about 4hrs SOT with heavy use. I think words with friends probably affects it a bit. I guess I never use it lightly but Ive never gotten 5hrs SOT.. although i've gotten standby to 24 with my 3+ sot hrs..

While it may be challenging at first, presenting a somewhat steep learning curve (if you want to get serious about it), the possibilities are endless and the rewards are sweeeeeeet. In other words, if you want to unleash the beast...stay with Tasker, especially now as Google released & integrated the new location API and many more goodies are yet to come.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rsarwar:
I have been in the habit since my S2 LTE i727 of clearing out my background apps. With the S4, I hold down the home button which will show all current apps, click on the icon at the right (three lines with an X). This will kill the apps you last run and should help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hamzer11:
This usually doesn't kill the background process. I had issues when I first got the phone with Google services hogging battery. Used Gsam battery to figure out what is running and then you can disable whatever you don't need. But first you have to figure out what exactly is using the battery.

I thought I read somewhere that if your SD card is bad and you are playing media off of it, it was causing something to stay awake and eat battery. Though, I could have just imagined that???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rsarwar:
I read about the SD card issue as well. I had issues initially with Google Maps eating battery, not as bad as some have reported but still it bothered me. Media Services running was a bit of a pain as well. Then I read someone mentioned that a factory reset should be done, so then I backup what little I had and did the reset. Now, the phone is much better than before along with me doing the home button, removing apps thing .. battery easily goes for 2.5 days (data usage via LTE and wifi on when needed and gaming / music) I also turn on airplane mode at night. My SD card is a 16gb Class 10 Sandisk which previously used on my S2 LTE i727 from Rogers which I formatted prior to using on the S4.

Hope my little tid bit helps :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] stevehkim:
Mediaserver is a biotch. If you have a bad Media file on your card the phone looks for a way to decode whatever .ext (extension) the media file has and will continue to do so until it finds the correct decoder. When you have a bad file mediaserver continues to loop over and over until you get rid of that file. Best bet is to back up all your stuff onto your pc and format the card. Then re-load the card and this should rid of your mediaserver drain.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Robson:
mate, some asnwers to your questions...others may have other opinions or ideas...

1) I am currently playing with an HP 6315 but the phone sounds like crap, especially if you turn up the volume all the way on the speaker phone. Do other devices sound good as a phone?

ANS - i use the xda2; though the loudspeaker isn't as good but generally i'm satisfied with it. but i never put the phone to my ear since i use a bluetooth headset (more comments on that one below)

2) The keyboard on the 6315 is also pretty useless. The buttons are just too small. Has anyone used a detachable or bluetooth keyboard with usably large buttons that works well?

ANS: which is probably one thing why i think i won't be getting the mda3...but i have used a foldable keyboard or used my laptop (with a 3rd party software) to use the keyboard and mouse to control the xda2

Bluetooth

1) So is there a headset that you don't have to put in your ear?

ANS: i used to have the jabra but found it to be weird having to wear it on my ear all the time. plus if i wear it for long periods, i develop a "cramp" on my ear...and had some issues with bonding when activesync was being done. i NOW use the O2 headset; see attached pic. i like it because it's very discreet; it just clips on my collar / shirt and i let the headphone dangle inside my shirt pocket. or i can holster it on the clip-mike. the headset can receive or end calls, so when i'm driving i don't have to hold my pda. don't have any issues with it; no bonding issues, reception is great, mike is sensitive, etc.

23) I have never used a bluetooth headset so I don't know much about them. Do bluetooth headsets turn themselves on automatically when the phone rings?

ANS - yes, when the phone rings, it's immediately transferred to the headset and all i have to do is switch it on to receive the call (for my o2 the switch is on the headphone), or click it twice to reject the call.

4) Is there a bluetooth headset that I can answer and hang-up the phone with?

ANS - i think most of them do...

6) Even if my "over the ear" phobia can't be resolved, is there anyone who never has to put the screen up to their ear because their bluetooth headset works so well?

ANs - love my O2 headset and my bt is on 24 hours a day but when my headset is charging then i have to take the xda to my ear

Syncing

1) Is this desktop bluetooth sync thing I am describing possible?

ANS - yes, you're talking about the bluetooth-activesync method. i'm using it via my diffusi bt dongle; works great and no need for cables. the only limitation i see is possibly the range since the xda and the laptop can't be separated for more than 30 or so meters. but syncing is very easy and convenient via bt...oh and the great thing about bt-activesync is that you can turn off the screen of your pda and still the laptop is synced. saves you on battery time...

2) Can a device pair with multiple devices at the same time? How many can it pair with?

ANS: not sure here but my xda is paired with my headset, my laptop and my tomtom...oh and my wife's ericsson...

hope that helps.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mikkel:
Interesting reading, you certainly have put some decent thought into this. Let me share my experience with a bluetooth headset:

I have the Jabra BT200. It is a very comfortable unit, more comfortable than anything I have tried out there. I am using it with my iMate PPCPE and it works pretty well. 1 out of 20 times when the phone rings, the call for some reason won't get transferred to the BT headset. -But I can live with that. The sound quality is not as good as a regular wired earpiece. Using the BT headset will put an additional and noticeable strain on your phones battery resulting in less battery life before you need to recharge. I can answer and end calls from the Jabra BT headset but it does not work with MS Voice Command (Which I would discourage use of for other reasons: It's Not stable on the iMate, makes it hang needing hard reset) meaning you can't press a button on the headset and speak to the phone through the headset. The battery life of the Jabra is about 1 hour of talk time or abuot 1 day of standby with a couple of brief conversations during the day. The only complaint about he Jabra BT200 pertains to how I choose to use it: I usually don't waer it unless I'm on a call. When the phone rings, it sometimes takes too long to get the headset out of my pocket and properly on / in my ear. The little gel-like thing that goes in the ear rotates too easily.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Robson:
mate,

regarding:

"The battery life of the Jabra is about 1 hour of talk time or abuot 1 day of standby with a couple of brief conversations during the day.

i guess this depends on a mate's usage; but are you sure about the 1-day battery life? like i mentioned i used to have a jabra (bt200) and the standby would be around 3-4 days...that's why the bt250 came out which boasts a standby power of around 8-10 days. just curious...

oh and i didn't like fiddling around in my pocket when the phone rang...specially with the ear gel/bud sometimes rotating...or even coming off when i did get it out of my pocket.... that's why i changed headsets.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Mikkel:
Yeah, I'm pretty sure about the 1 day usage. I usually get right around 1 days worth of standby, talk w. BT headset, checking email and playing a couple of games. -But that's fine for me. I have never found myself in a situation where I couldn't charge my iMate overnight so 1 full day of somewhat serious use is just fine for me.

So I've been using paranoid android for a while and I've been wanting to go to Slim Bean rom for a while. So i flashed everything correctly blah blah performed full wipe etc. Directly after the full wipe and flashing it says i have 866 MB available.. How is that possible? I just performed a full wipe, every piece of data is gone.. No apps, music, pics, or cached data and have not even a single GB of data available?

Before switching ROMS i deleted all of my themeing data - custom lockscreen and wallpaper data and widgets. They take up a ton of space. But none of that is on my phone anymore.. Why the hell am I only being granted that tiny amount of space?

I would check your nandroid backups as well as your ''0'', see if there are copies of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jason123420:
You wiped your internal SD card from recovery? Or did you just wipe data?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aeppacher:
In order to completely wipe the device, you need to wipe the sd card from recovery, or with a file manager.

Try this:

1. Download your favorite root file manager (My favorite is Root Browser Lite)

2. Check to see if your /sdcard folder is empty alternatively you can go to /data/media/0 to check this

3. If it is try navigating to /data/media/legacy/ this will be all of your stored files from before flashing to 4.2

Before deleting make sure you aren't deleting your clockwork folder or TWRP folder because that is likely where any nandroid backups would be located

If I have helped slap that thanks button please.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Rawbster:
Ok, so I deleted a few things from my 0 file because it had duplicates of existing files in it. I gained about 1 gb of extra space from that, thanks.

But now when I go redownload an app that I once had ( i.e widget locker ) it says unknown error code during application install : -24

I was searching and I think i may have deleted the widget locker that was located in my "0" folder. Is there a way around this? Can i make a new folder titled Widget Locker or something?

I can't believe that the HTC One hasn't helped the company climb out of the hole that it's in. The company is losing major employees and seems to be on the way out. How do you think this will effect updates and warranty issues in the future? Is the company going bust or do you think they will still around a little longer.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Red Dragons:
I'm on most recent firmware and most recent CM10.1 nightly and suddenly MMS pics will no longer send. It tries to send but then fails with messages "message not sent" and "service not activated on network"

This has never happened before and happened all the sudden yesterday. I had sent one pic that did work, then a few minutes later I tried another and it failed in this manner, as have all further attempts. I even deleted all of my sms/mms messages thinking there was something wrong with the messaging program. No help. What it APPEARS is happening is that instead of the program sizing the images down to an attachment-friendly size, it is trying to send the full ~2MB jpegs and it would seem that is too big for MMS. But if this is the case, I have no idea why it would have started doing this all the sudden.

Is there anything in the messaging or gallery programs that I can reset or refresh that might help this?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
If you can send a SMS (simple text message) then all you need to do is have your provider take you out, and then reinsert you into the network. SOMETIMES, sending a picture to yourself after a battery removal boot can get things going too.....

You also could try the basic and use app manager and clean out the cache of whatever app you're using to send the MMS msg, and retry it. Remember, the MMS takes a while longer to send vice the SMS transmission.

Good Luck!

Hello,

due to the fact that i'm new to this forum and there is a requirement of 10 posts to post in a developer forum i have to post here and

not in this Thread:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060541

Maybe you can also help me here in this Thread.

I flashed the last stable Slim Bean Rom 4.2.2 Build 5 on my i9100 (int).

So far almost everything is working fine, except the DSP Manager. The ROM comes with Version 2.0.

My Problem:

Normally the DSP Manger should work globally (system wide), so that i can use e.g. my YouTube App with it.

If i'm already wrong at this point please tell me. The thing is it does not work globally. In my Music Apps like Apollo 1.1, the Stock Music Player of the ROM or Google Play Music everything works fine. So apps that provide an equalizer option do work with the DSP Manger.

Maybe someone got the same problem and can help me with this or tell me that it is not possible with current versions of the DSP Manger on 4.2.2 JB, i did not find a thread that helped me with this.

If there is no solution till now maybe someone can provide me a link to a good EQ APP that works system wide on JB 4.2.

Thanks in advance.

Before changing over to the Wind V21B from Tmobile V20D, make a back up copy of APN and then re-install it after the change over. Otherwise, there will be no data service. (Look for 'APN Backup & Restore' app in Google Play).

No noticeable functional difference between the two versions. The battery usage seems about the same.
