Well, look at it like this:

- you need to find a balance between the max cpu speed and the apps you run in the background need, to function without issues and not taking wakelocks too long;

- i've seen for myself the benefits of having even more steps below 350MHz, like 192MHz,for example a normal task for me: listening to music. it doesn't require that much of cpu power, so it's okay to have the cpu step down to lower steps to save battery.

- this doesnt mean that you can limit MAX cpu speed to a very low speed, because some tasks will actually use up more energy if you had set a higher cpu speed.

bottom line is, if all is well and there are no rogue apps, your device will have no issues in entering deep-sleep. it will have no issue coming out, doing its thing the fastest possible, while still playing nice with battery.

suggestion: tasker could be up to the task :D

I doubt that off screen frequency is a cause for my battery to go so quickly ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Nope, in your case I tend to think you have a near-death battery.

Battery health: Good
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
Honestly, that really doesn't mean much. If the internal circuitry of the battery doesn't detect a problem it'll say it's good, even if something is wrong with it. It still could be a dead/dying/defective battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
.. due to such a poor battery life, I carry 2 (two) extra battery w/ me at all time. You're saying that "Battery info" is wrong? So it's wrong for all of my batteries? I highly doubt that (but not impossible).

Maybe let's not rush into blaming things, but instead try to figure out where the problem is..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
I checked w/ BBS's CPU states, and my phone used 1.2GHz frequency only used 1.2%, most of the time it spends on 350MHz / 700MHz.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bpyazel:
I never said it was your battery in the first place. I just suggested not to trust that it says it's "good". And if the batteries are older, they will lose charge capacity over time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Did it hurt your battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
... there was really no difference in terms of performance and/or lifetime of battery. I usually don't really do anything that requires my phone to use 1.2GHz CPU speed (most of the time I use my phone it's on much lower speed), so I can leave it on 1.2, or I can lower it to 350/700 it wouldn't make a difference in my case ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxmehta:
Run Stock or AOKP, and stop tweaking the CPU frequency and voltage. It doesn't help and most people do not understand what these tweaks actually do. The stock android kernel, scheduler, and power manager will outperform any of these custom hacks. I did that after running leankernel and my battery life went up 50%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GPFboyJS:
Adjusting any of the frequencies, voltages or any thing other than the governor is typically useless. However using custom kernels can sometimes add some battery life. Franco, Tiny, Tritiny and a few others can sometimes give you better battery life.

However if you are going to change the kernel you should apply a kernel to the way you use the phone, some are better for certain situations, i.e standby or WiFi...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kreindler:
check this out

stock AOKP rom

Fancy kernel

abs minimum 190 mhz

idle maximum 700 mhz

absolute maximum 1000 mhz

ondemandplus governor

juice defence ultimate

additional kernel and governor modifications (e.g. gpu underclock - 300mhz (i dont play games...) )

brightness - 80% of the time at maximum lvl

20% at 60-70% of the brightness level

screen on time - 3h 40 min

this is the best i achieved yet, and i tried a "few" roms and kernels and mods...

Of course, the rom was slimmed down (removed bloatware- google plus, live wallpapers and so on).

I tell u, it's worth a try:)
[General Questions and Answers] elad2109:
Why my items are not redrawn after invoking `invalidateViews()` ?

I ask because i try to refresh `listItems` after a bg-thread notify an image rsc was downloaded.

But nothing is updated. Only after exiting and re-entering the new icons are drawn.

I have an activity with `adapter` of type `SettingValueAdapter extends BaseAdapter`

it has a member:

`private SettingsValue[] values;`

it has two interesting methods:

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]

public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {

AddressItem ai= (AddressItem)getItem(position);

DriveToNativeManager dnm = DriveToNativeManager.getInstance();

if (view == null) {

LayoutInflater li = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

view = li.inflate(R.layout.address_item, null);

}

view.setTag(R.id.addressItem,ai);

view.setTag(position);

view.findViewById(R.id.fullAddressItemCol).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

view.findViewById(R.id.addressItemTouch).setVisibility(View.GONE);

view.findViewById(R.id.addressItemImage).setVisibility(View.GONE);

if (ai != null) {

...

}

view.findViewById(R.id.addressItemIconLayout).setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

Drawable icon = ResManager.GetSkinDrawable(ai.getIcon() + ".bin");

((ImageView)view.findViewById(R.id.addressItemIcon)).setImageDrawable(icon);

..

}

I attach a callback to the bg-thread (c language) image downloading process.

The callback switches to the ui-thread and calls this `refreshList`:

public void refreshSearchIconsOnSearchActivity() {

Runnable refreshViewEvent = new Runnable() {

[MENTION=439709]override[/MENTION]

public void run() {

Activity currentActivity = AppService.getActiveActivity();

if (currentActivity instanceof SearchActivity) {

Log.d("w", "refreshSearchIconsOnSearchActivity callback running in thread "

+ Thread.currentThread().getId() );

//results list

((SearchActivity) currentActivity).refreshList();

}

}

};

AppService.Post(refreshViewEvent);

}

However, the images are done downloading and are not refreshed on the activity.

They are refreshed only when I leave an re-enter the activity.

What am I missing?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raharri:
Hey guys, I've been a reader of XDA for years now but for the first time in my history here I wasn't able to find a precise answer after spending days scouring every resource available. That said, if my question HAS been answered before, I throw myself to your mercy and beg forgiveness :P

As some of your are no doubt aware, MetroPCS is now offering a pilot program in select metropolitan areas where they will allow you to bring your own CDMA device to their network. I live in one of the pilot areas for this program (DFW). Depending on which resource I'm reading I gather that the toro either CAN'T be flashed to other carriers or that it can but that doing so is a very intensive process. My question is whether or not this new offering from MetroPCS changes the traditional answer in any way. After doing as much research as I could online I also went to a MetroPCS store and spoke with an associate who told me that all I'd need to do was buy one of their SIM cards ($18) and pay for the first month of service and I'd be good to go. I also had a look at the SIM card they are offering, and it looks identical in dimension to the 4G LTE SIM currently in my GNex. Being naturally suspicious of anything that seems to simple to be true, I held off on taking the plunge until I could pick the collective brain of XDA to be sure. The associate did guarantee that I would have access to calls, text and at least 3G data, no LTE for obvious reasons.

If this will legitimately work I'd be willing to do whatever necessary to make it work with my GNex. With regards to my familiarity and comfort level with the toro, I bought it within the first month it was out and unlocked and rooted it right away. I change my ROM somewhere bordering between frequently and ZOMGCRACKFLASH!!!1 so I'm fairly intimately acquainted with my phone and what to do when things go wrong. ADB, fastboot etc. are well within my comfort level and I'm the kind of guy that if you give me direct instructions on a process I can follow them precisely and not panic if it doesn't work right the first time. Backtrack, evaluate and try again. I'd like to hope that it will be as simple as switching the SIM but part of me knows better and would be willing to go through the process no matter how long or involved it would be.

On a personal note, I'm not doing this just on a whim or out of curiosity. I've been with Verizon for over four years but about four months ago my father was diagnosed with cancer and I've taken leave from my job to live with and care for him full time. Having no major sustainable income I couldn't keep up with my $170/month family plan bill (my fiance has a GNex too ;p). That said, we both love our phones and would love to continue using them as our primary devices for quite a while if it's at all feasible. Any answers or direction would be greatly appreciated.

TL/DR:

MetroPCS: "Here! Magic SIM make stubborn toro work on our network!"

Me: "I smell either a trap or witchcraft..."

Esteemed XDA Guru/technopath: "<ACTUAL ANSWER HERE>"

Thanks for your time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
you would need to modify the VIA Chipset firmware to work for metroPCS. there is a thread about this somewhere, just search for VIA chipset, or VIA or something like that in the title.

LTE would not work. period. different frequencies.

In short, metroPCS guy = idiot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raharri:
Re:

Thanks very much! I'll do some research into modding the VIA firmware and go from there. I sense a project for me coming on ;)

Hey guys, while I was on ICS, I borrowed my brother's second controller, which is a Dualshock 3, and I've used to play GTA 3 just fine(via bluetooth using Sixaxis Controller app). Now, after a few weeks of JellyBean, I've bought myself a Dualshock 3 controller(yes, it's original), but the controls are different, even in the phone's menu: before I could select things like I was on PS3, circle for back and X for select, but now every button excepting select, start, dpad arrows and sticks are launching Google Now. The main problem is the controls in GTA 3: they are different than the ones on ICS. Is there any way to fix this without going back to ICS? I've got used to Jelly already and I'm not in the mood to downgrade.

Edit: I think I've fixed it by going in settings -> Language & Input -> Sixaxis Controller -> Gamepad Settings -> Enable Gamepad

I recently rooted my at&t S3 and up until recently I haven't been able to use any google services. I first noticed it with the google play store when I opened the app it would say "No Connection" with a box underneath that said retry. No mater what I do it still persists. I've cleared the cache, attempted to uninstall updates but i would be stuck on the uninstall page indefinitely. I looked in the google accounts I was using and signed out of both of them but when I try to sign back in it tells me it can't establish a connection? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve me having to hard reset :rolleyes:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Do you have a internet connection (3G-4G)? Are you notification icons gray or blue? (Blue = connected with Google)

Check to make sure you APNs to make sure they all match. You can also try to clear your Play Store's cache/data as well as clear your accounts info.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imjustbeingian:
I have a steady connection. I've tried on wifi along with 4G and still nothing. I haven't been getting any notifications from google. Cleared all account data as well. I think the problem started when I used root app delete to clear up some unused system apps. I didn't disable any apps that that looked harmful but after the problem I enabled them all again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Well then, chances are that you will have to reset it. Backup your stuff first though.

Apps/data -> Titanium Backup

Copy your personal files on a external SD or on your pc and contacts to your sim if they're not sync'd with your google account.

Playing with system apps is never a good idea (unless you

really

know what you're doing)

Another option would be to grab pre-rooted stock Odin for your carrier, you will still need to backup though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imjustbeingian:
I figured I'd end up resetting :( where do I find a thread on how to backup? I have titanium backup but I have no idea how to recover the files after the factory reset
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
TiBu will make a folder on your internal SD (named Titanium Backup), just save that folder on your pc or External SD if you're worried about your internal storage getting wiped.

Once your phone is back up, just restore with TiBu

*don't restore any system apps*

Background: CWM recovery, SynergyROM r104

My 'Misc' storage reads 7+ gb. A substantial portion of that is the TW-based SynergyROM, but I can't figure out what the rest is. There are no nandroid backups on the internal storage. Looking through 'Internal Memory' with SolidExplorer, I see that the used space is 3.93gb, however, when I view the content summary the total size for all folders is < 2gb. I've gone through each folder in internal memory and can't figure out where the heck the other 1.9gb of used storage is coming from. I have factory reset/wiped cache since I first noticed this. Anyone have any ideas? I'm stumped here.

Hi,

Probably at this time you maybe have solved this problem. Same happened to me, I had 6 Gb of miscellaneous files and coudn't figure where or what they are. Tried all kind of wipes and reset. Finally what worked for me was doing a internal SD format from the recovery, and the miscellaneous files turned to less than 200 Mb. This equals to a complete factory reset manually done.

Hope this can help you.

Sorry I know that. Just wasn't shure how can Sony provide Greece costumization in Bulgaria???????
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
I really can't tell. Anyway they don't have a generic customization for Bulgaria. They only have customizations for 'GloBul BG' and 'MobilTel EAD BG'. They do have four different 'Generic Central Europe' customizations for the C6603 though, but apparently they chose to sell 'Generic GR' in Bulgaria. Did you buy it at a regular store or a web-shop?
[Xperia Z General] petetoto:
I bought it from Globul BG but I flashed another ftf between the three updates we received. So just realised why is so. Now gonna try your thread :

downgrade and download BG costumization
[Xperia Z General] Apollo89:
Why downgrade? You will possibly have to wipe your data if you downgrade. At least when people downgraded from 10.1.1.A.1.253 to 10.1.A.1.434 they had to wipe data, otherwise they got into a bootloop due to the 'Upgrading NFC' issue. I can imagine that downgrading from Android 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 even has a higher risk to cause issues if you don't wipe data.

If you want to change back to Globul BG, I'd recommend to wait until they release 10.3.A.0.423. Then you can follow part A, B and C of my guide to create an FTF and flash it without wiping data.
[Xperia Z General] haki.gr:
Κeep in mind that a Globul BG customization will have much more bloatware compared to Generic GR, just like my Cosmote GR phone had before I flashed it with Generic GR.
