Will using a Custom ROM improve the terrible battery life?

I am being abit vague, I bought the Nook Simple Touch and on the box it said 'Battery lasts 2 months with wifi off and 30 minutes reading per day'. I hardly ever read and I only bought this for my holiday and also got it for £29. I charged the NST up and ive noticed over a week the battery has completely diminished.

Wifi is off and ive done no reading. All the decide seems to do is change pictures on the screen saver all the time.
[Nook Touch General] Crispy3000:
Short answer: Yes.

Slightly longer answer: You can keep stock rom but rooting and tweaking makes a big difference. Changing the kernel and setting the cpu frequency using setcpu so improves battery life alot. Stop things syncing improves battery life alot.

If you don't want barnes and noble stuff (if your using say cool reader) then even more so.

Remember don't switch NST fully off it actually chews more battery than you think in that mode.

Also don't force nst to go asleep by pressing power button just let it timeout into screensaver.

I think remember someone said somewhere with everything tweaked the unit dropped 1 or 2 percent per day when not used.
[Nook Touch General] Tom2112:
That's odd that your battery experience has been so poor. I just got my NSTG on Monday and I've been reading on it a lot, plus I have backed it up, installed a new ROM, wiped it, restored it, probably five times now just messing around. I keep going back to stock ROM.

Anyway, I charged it Monday and I've got 84% battery left. I know I've spent several hours reading and at least a couple hours reading with the glowlight on. So for me, that's pretty darn good battery life to have only used 16% in five days of heavy use. Sure that won't last me the 2 months that they're quoting but, I'm not using it 30 minutes a day, I'm using it much more.
[Nook Touch General] jumpingclear:
I have also just bought one so I can't claim any expertise, however, this sounds odd. I just let mine go to sleep and it always shows the same picture of trees. If yours is changing its picture then it must have something running to do so which will run the battery down.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge can say why yours is doing this?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Yeah, the stock browser sucks. Then again, pretty much every browser I've tried on the NST works poorly. I believe you can use another browser to download the ACSM file and then go into Aldiko and import it. Not as seamless but may make navigating your library site possible.
[Nook Touch General] dandwhelan:
Well I've been on holiday this week and I can say the battery life is terrible. I must of used it 2 or 3hours per day reading only 400 pages and after 6 days the battery went flat. Luckily I don't read all the time, I kinda envy kindle owners for the battery life
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Did you leave wifi on? I get MUCH better life than that with wifi off.
[Nook Touch General] dandwhelan:
Yup Wifi has definitely been off
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
I've never had a battery drain problem so I can't give you any solutions. I see a good 3 or 4 weeks or more with the kind of usage you describe. You might want to read through this thread on possible battery drain solutions. Also, do a search on battery in this forum for some other threads.
[Nook Touch General] latuk:
I use my rooted NTS with XCSoar when I fly on glider.

It's very useful because contrast on the sunlight is awesome.

I use all fiches from custom rom:

FastScreen

UsbHost

UsbSound
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Note that Barnes & Nobles' stated life of 2 months is only for half an hour of reading per day. So your 6 days is the equivalent of somewhere between 24 and 36 B&N days. More if you turn lots of pages.

Hi My galaxy s2 i9100 wasn't able to turn on, even when i charged it

This is what happened..

i was actually flashing a rom, after flashing i press

"reboot device" in the recovery and it has choices

Yes

No

No

No

Reboot Now.

etc..

im talking about CM RECOVERY or clockwork recovery i guess.

then i didnt choose any, i just pressed the back soft key and it turned off and the lights of soft keys stays ON but the screen is powered off

so i did pull off the batteries to fully turn off my device, after putting back.. BOOM it wont go turn on by that time... :(

can anyone help me? or i brick my phone??

Oi !

Do not bump threads after 26 minutes :-// This is not your personal tech support hotline. Someone will help if/when someone who reads your thread decides to help. Bumping your thread after a ridiculously short period of time (against forum rules) will more than likely see you ignored.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmsweet21:
im sory.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bloodyshyt:
Have you tried charging the battery. You can try using a usb jig to boot into download mode and flash a rom through there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmsweet21:
yep, i tried charging but nothing happens, my phone is kinda getting a lil hot when im charging now..

what do u mean by usb jig? ive done the

hold together power+volume up/down and home button.. nothing happens, it just getting a lil hot..

later when i go out ill try another battery .. nways i dont believe that my batt would actually be dead just like this easy. but i dont hope that my phone got brick for just simply actions that ive done :((
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hidden Username:
Happened to me before. May or may not work for you.

Take out the battery.

Wait 1 minute.

Now turn the phone on, and it will take some time(maybe 3 mins) but it WILL go into recovery mode. Do what you want in recovery and then done.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
Hey all,

A few weeks ago, I switched from MeanBean to Jelly-Bam ROM. At the time, I thought this was a Jelly-Bam issue, but I'm pretty sure it's not now. When I switched ROMs, I noticed that my data was slow. I work in Baltimore County, MD and lost my 4G signal. I have occasionally seen 4G at home since I noticed this issue, but it's rare. I typically only get 3G and often it's less than 1MB/s. I tried switching back to MeanBean and that didn't help (I had updated the radio before switching back, I would think that would only help). I have updated my radio (currently running 1.12.11.1210) and that hasn't helped. What made me think it's not the ROM is that my wife has a stock Evo 4G LTE and she also has slow data speeds. BUT, my brother has an S3, also on Sprint and in the same town and he's getting 4G fine. I do have my have my Network Mode set to LTE/CDMA (actually on Jelly-Bam it's LTE/CMDA/EvDo). I'm running Jelly Bam 7.8.0 (CyanogenMod version 10.1.0-RC2-jewel). Please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions as to what could be the problem with my phone. If I can provide more information, let me know and I'll get it for you.

Thanks so much in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
Baltimore and supporting areas are still going thru LTE upgrades, it's still on-off for some areas. Annapolis is lit 100% as far as I can tell.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tmwilsoniv:
Is your evidence of the S3 pulling in 4G while your device does not anecdotal or have you performed a side-by-side comparison? The answer to this will help us narrow down your problem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
Unless things have gone backwards, I don't think that is the case. I used go get 4G in Baltimore. I've seen as high as 25MB/sec, maybe even higher. Now I don't see 4G ever down here. (I've seen it a few times at my home in York County, PA since this issue, but it doesn't last long and the fastest I've seen is maybe 5MB/sec. But most times its 3G and less than 1MB/sec.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
My evidence is based on my seeing absolutely no 4G at the time (I've seen a few few times briefly as noted in the post above.), while my brother who is less than 1 mile away see's great 4G (faster than his home wifi so over 15 MB/s). I have consistently had terrible speeds around town while he consistently has good speeds. No, we have not stood side by side and done a test, but I know how my signals used to be and how they should be and I'm nowhere near that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
I was actually near the Key Bridge last night and where I usually get LTE or at least have in the past, I got solid 3G, I tried airplane method and reboot, switching from CDMA back to LTE to no avail. Soon as I got back into Pasadena the LTE was solid. I never was sure about the differences between the Samsund devices vs. HTC but for me, the signal is sporadic which in the past has been due to Sprint upgrades. Hope it gets better and check out the SG4RU site for specific information about your area. Thru have a ton of info that will let you aware of the work and or upgrades in your specific area in Baltimore.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
It just doesn't make sense to me that Sprint reception would decrease by so much and (as far as I can tell) completely lose 4G coverage at my work and mostly lose it at my home at the same time, while my brother continues to receive great service on his S3. I just don't see how that could happen.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Any ideas what could be wrong with my phone? Anything else I can update? Any settings for me to check that I might have missed? (I feel like I've check them all, but I'm up for anything at this point.)

Thanks in advance. This is driving me nuts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jerry43812:
I'd like to throw my own recent experience in here.

My wife has the OG Evo. I have the Evo LTE. While I do not get LTE in this area, I still get 3G coverage. The other day, out of the blue, my wife's 3G quit working and she has next to no service while I have solid coverage, and yes this is side by side.

Call me crazy right now because if what I am about to say, but I have this inkling of a feeling that Sprint is directly behind her almost completely losing signal in an area where 3 towers surround us to attempt to get one of us to call in, complain, and get coerced into an upgrade (she's due for one as of June 1st, go figure right?

I've noticed this happen whenever I was due for upgrades on my older phones too such as the Hero, Moment, etc... if I could pinpoint what they're doing, if they're doing anything, they'd be in some majorly serious ish.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
So, I called Sprint and they walked me through #72786# update on my wife's phone. Apparently both of our phones were "off the network". We went through it for my wife's phone and it put it back on the network, whatever that means, but it didn't improve her service. They're now telling me our options are to take it to the nearest Sprint store with a repair center (the closest 2 are about an hour away each) or pay the shipping to return it to HTC.

They told me I could do the #72786# update on my phone and that it would not get rid of my root. Does anyone know this to be true? I'd like to try it on mine since they say it also is not "on the network". Because it does a firmware update, I wanted to check to see if that would interfere with the root access on my phone or my ability to gain root again, should I ever get rid of root.

Which brings me to my next question, if the above is safe for my rooted phone, I try it, and it does not work. How do I go about returning my phone to it's stock configuration? I've read a little about RUU, but haven't been able to figure out enough of it or where to get the RUU to feel comfortable doing it yet. If I do an RUU, will I be able to get my root (and s-off) rights back on my phone? How about if they try to bring my phone completely up-to-date? Is there a way to root currently up-to-date phones?

I know I've packed a lot of info and questions in there, but I would really appreciate any help and answers that people can give me. Thanks so much!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Did your wife ever update her profile? I'm 99 percent sure sprint isn't cutting off her 3g. Check the link in my sig, bottom of post 1 faq, those steps will work for the og as well...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, we just updated her profile via System Updates-->Update Profile. If there's more to it than that, let me know. I'll take a look at the link in your signature too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Yeah there is quite a bit more to it. Is she rooted? Because that will help save her data if a hard reset (##786#) is in order...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
No, she is not rooted. So for now, I figured I'd start with trying this on my phone. Unfortunately, the MSL reader app wasn't able to read it. I'm actually in an old version of my phone. I'm going to install my last backup and work from that since I'm somewhat hopeful this will fix my problem. I might as well do it from my latest ROM. I'll have that up in 10 minutes or less and I guess I'll try to work through your instructions...

If it works on my phone, I guess I'll go through it with my wife's then. I have everything important backed up on mine. I'll have to check hers real quick to make sure she doesn't have any recent pictures, but I think those should be on Dropbox. I assume it will tell me before I might have to do that so I'll know to double-check everything if it comes to that.

Sorry if I've asked any questions that are explained in the instructions...I just wanted to reply and now I'll continue reading through them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Hard reset on your phone will wipe everything in data/app as well as your internal sd. Your external will be fine as well as your wife's external however she will lose all apps, sms, mms, call logs, bookmarks via stock app, as well as any system settings.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
So I should not be running these from my Jelly-Bam ROM? Or is that OK? If not, should I run an RUU will holding down volume while powering on and doing a factory reset work?

Thanks so much for your help!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
As long as you have epst support you are fine. Just try one of the codes... If it works your golden.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
I guess if it tries to dial and says "The feature code you have entered is invalid" or something like that, I'm not golden...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Sorry I'm not familiar with jelly bam is it sense based? You don't actually dial it the last # should activate it... Aosp roms will not work

Flowed from my Jewel using Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KB3NRY:
Yeah, I didn't dial. But when I hit the last #, what I entered before goes away and nothing happens.

Will these changes stick through a new ROM update? I guess I'll try them on the last stock save I have and then try to restore my MeanBean ROM (the last ROM I had that worked with 4G...Jelly-BAM seems to be what broke it.).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:
Yes these will stick through Rom updates. I know epst works on meanbean, viper, operation jellybean, and the sense 5 port from my personal experience.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firebugweb:
A couple notes:

1. I HAVE searched for the answer to this and have not found it. If it's here... sorry.

2. I can't post on the thread I think will help me because I'm new to This forum. Kind of frustrating, cuz now I feel like I'm asking in the wrong spot.

3. I have installed the toolkit. Drivers are successfully installed. Once I switched to PTP, my serial number showed up and shows connected.

Problem:

When I choose Unlock Bootloader, Nothing happens. Nothing happens on my device. No instructions pop up on my screen. Zip.

I'm finding this device harder to unlock than my VZW Gnex and this is an N4 straight from the Goog. Was hoping this would be the easiest one.

Please help. Again, sorry if I didn't suss out the answer on my own. A kind point in the right direction would be great.

***By the way, I'm rooting this device for ONE reason: The speaker. We've had the N4's for just over a week and my wife keeps saying she can't hear me when she's in the car. And when I hook up headphones, I have to turn the volume all the way up - and I do NOT blast my music.

If there is a different solution for this problem, by all means, suggest it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
Hi guys,

I just wanted to confirm with you in how to return stock.

From what I have been reading, to return to stock, the easiest way is to grab the MythTools here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2262726

Download the JB stock ¿SBF? here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php

And use the tool. That's it? And then re root and re unlock right?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Please just do it the fastboot way...just too many help threads that incluce "I used MythTools". Once you do it manually and you know your PC is set up properly, then start using Myth.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
as [MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] told, its better to use fastboot... this may be useful to you..

1)download the required firmware from here and recovery

2)extract the zip and place the recovery image and fastboot binaries in the extracted directory and open terminal in this directory.

3)type the following commands in order

Quote:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot -w

fastboot erase cache

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img

fastboot reboot
[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
It worked the "fastboot" way, thanks :P!
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
If you want to get good at it have a folder for development with everything in there and point the command line path to the commands so you don't have to keep tabs on where you are
[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
Another question, there's any way to improve stock without breaking everything else? I know I can freeze apps, block another, etc, but besides that, anything else?

Also, there's any risk by flashing the Mexican version and then turning back to AT&T (in case I don't like it)?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
No risks man. I've flashed dozens of times.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

Just backup your stuff to the EXT SD card not the internal one , just in case it gets wiped.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
there are no risks as [MENTION=2804068]Youngunn2008[/MENTION] told, i too have flashed it innumerous times.. and about improvement, you can always work on it, some common things are system app modifications as you told like freeezing, removing, adding etc and performance modifications like editing build.prop or working on kernel or editing framework_res.apk etc
[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
Thanks for your help, right now I'm with the mexican version and will start to play :)

The radio thing it's necesary or only if I have issues with 3g/wifi? And I have issues, will help flashing the mexican radio or should I flash the AT&T radio?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Aingaran:
Its your wish... I recommended Mexican retail radio because it supports more base bands than att and on the whole, both should work fine... And the radio is VERY VERY IMPORTANT...
[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
Everything mexican now and its more speedy than the ATT version (don't mind LTE)

Thanks!

I want to be a 7" tab for gaming and watching videos. Is tab 2 a good buy ? Because nexus 7 costs almost double than tab 2 in my country.

Or should I go with nexus 7, it is worth the price?

I am really confused :confused:
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] samsgun357:
The gtab7" is a decent tab. I have the 10.1" and like it a lot. If I were to buy a 7"tab though, I would buy the nexus (probably the new updated version) The gtab2 7" is selling in the US for around $170. The current nexus 7 16gb is going for around $200 and $250 for 32gb. So for me the current version nexus 7 would Be the best option as far as price goes.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] gekyfela:
Thank you very much for your adivce!

Here tab2 16gb costs $160 and nexus 7 $280. That's why i was confused. Is nexus 7 worth extra $120?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] daniel644:
Spec wise, the nexus 7 is the faster device and will get newer versions of android faster, so if those are the end all be all then is the extra 120 worth that to you, but also remember the nexus 7 (like the entire nexus line) lacks a microsd card slot, so if that is important to you then you can just take the nexus 7 off your list of possibles.
