[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mitakalr:
The question is can i install this ROM now, if i'm on this Jellybean leak? I don't know if i'm rooted, but i can assure you that i don't have superuser, if that's enough for you to say that im not rooted :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Varad297:
No DO NOT try to flash ROMs if you are not rooted, some ROMs have root within them and the phone is rooted while u flash the ROM. But it is better to instead root the phone using the thread from the post by hawk (after which you'll get the superuser access). Then you'll be on a safe Philz kernel where u can go to recovery and clean install a custom ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khimois:
Sorry if you guys has been asked about this question for the nth times, I'm new to this phone and I'm a total noob in Android.

So, here's my scenario, I have this Samsung Nexus S Version M200 running currently in CM 10.1 Nightly firmware. It's good as far as I'm using it but I'm having a problem with the battery life. I usually charge it 2 times a day. What I do with my phone? Mostly play games and it will only last 3-4 hours max play then I have to charge it again. But to summarize it it will not last a whole day even with normal use, minimal games.

The question now is:

Should I go to Official ROM?

If yes, which version with long lasting battery with GPS and other services on and playing games max?

If no, should I stick to CM 10.1?

If no with CM 10.1, which ROM should I install?

Thanks in advance, I actually have a lot of questions since I'm so curious and want to know more about this phone, but I'll just add it later.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:
Don't worry since you're new no one will get mad. :)

Anyways, there won't be that huge of a battery life difference between most of these roms, it just depends how your settings are and how you are using your phone. I've tried most of the roms for the NS and I can tell you my team favorites are CM 10.1 Stable with Marmite 8.7 Bigmem kernel and JellyShot with the same kernel. Those two have given me the best stability+performance+speed+battery life combo.

The way you setup your cpu governer and i/o scheduler as well as some developer settings and a few more things can definitely make an impact on increasing battery life. Here's how I have my phone setup:

ROM

: CM 10.1 Stable

Kernel

: Marmite 8.7 Bigmem

Governer

: During the day I use Smartassv2 with 100 min 1000 max, during the night I switch it to On Demand with 100 min 800 max

I/O: I find deadline to be the best and cfq to be the 2nd best especially if you are a person that has multiple apps in use its best for multitasking but if you're just doing one thing at a time (Youtube vids etc) stick with deadline

Developer

: I set the 3 animation options all to OFF.

For your phone settings, if you don't need all those sync options on I'd turn them off, same goes for auto-sync/background data (you can find these options in data usage).

There are apps out there like Greenify which are great for saving you extra battery life, it puts apps to sleep when they're not in use. Try the free version it works great.

Lastly everything starts on how you first install your rom, I'd recommend a completely clean install. I use Philz Touch Recovery its free and you can find it here. The way I install roms is:

1. Wipe Data/Factory reset

2. Wipe Cache

3. Go to Mounts & Storage and format these: System, Data, Cache, Boot

4. Go to Advanced and wipe: Dalvik then Fix Permissions

5. Install order: Rom first, Gapps second, Kernel last

6. Reboot

Thats about all the tips I have. Sometimes your phones battery just doesn't cut it, some people claim to get 5 hours screen time etc, but I never get that kind of amazing battery life I think my battery just sucks. But mess around with those 2 roms I suggested and those settings, see if you like it. Goodluck.

Just bought a second hand S as a second phone and found your reply one of the most useful for setting it up so far. Thank you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khimois:
Thank you for the quick reply...

I have a follow up questions though. Hehehe.

1. How can I change my Kernel?

2. If I can change it, will I lost my data? What are the results? Because I've done a little search about Marmite and I've read it's good.

3. What's Governor? LOL Sorry, I'm total newbie. I don't get it. And the Developer? Haha!

4. If I do a clean install what would happen to my data? Does all my app data will be lost?

So far that's what's in my mind. I'll follow up again! Thanks! You're a big help!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abccg:
[MENTION=4346266]purpse[/MENTION] You're welcome, glad I could be of some help. :)

[MENTION=5319796]khimois[/MENTION]

1. Well to change kernel you first need to download the proper one, get the "cm" version of Marmite that means its for Cyanogenmod based roms. To install it you need to use a recovery. Something like Clockwork Recovery its free you can get it by installing the "Rom Manager" app. Basically recovery is a thing you boot into its kind of like safe mode for PC's, but this will let you install Roms/Kernels, etc.

2. You won't lose your data by flashing a new kernel but you will lose your data if you wipe data through the recovery mode. If you really want to keep your data and apps you can use an app like Titanium backup it backs up everything for you to install later after wipes.

3. CPU Governor is a just how your CPU is going to be functioning. There are a bunch of different settings you can choose from. Some for example: Conservative (this saves battery by using less cpu power it will clock at lower frequencies) also On Demand (this setting tells the cpu to only work based on the demand so if you're phones not doing anything it will clock to the lowest speed you set the "min" value to but if you're playing a game or something it will scale up towards your "max" value)

Developer options can be found after you go to "About Phone" and click on build number 7 times, then you can access developer options from the main settings menu. These options let you do a few cool things.

4. Yes a clean install would wipe your data and apps, its like a brand new phone. There are some apps like I mentioned "Titanium backup" which can help you save your apps and data, google about that to learn more if you're interested.

And no problem, glad to help, everyone is new at everything at some point. You're learn that flashing roms and kernels will become repetitive you will always want to try new ones and then it just becomes so easy to do. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
On most android devices Jelly Bean consumes twice as much battery as compared to Ice Cream Sandwich. You might want to consider downgrading if battery life is your top priority.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
lol this is absolutely not true. I get relatively the same battery with jelly bean as I used to on ICS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khimois:
Thanks for the great help, I'm still in the process of absorbing it. Sorry, I have follow up questions:

So, if I want to clean install everything? What should I do? What are the things I need to consider? What are the things I need to backup?

I have an existing ClockWorkRecovery v6.0.0.6, is it okay to use this? Or should I update it?

What are the risk in updating ClockWorkRecovery?

EDIT: Can you also provide me a link for Marmite? I can't seem to find it. Thanks!

So what's the truth between this two? Is ICS have a good battery life or not? 'cause I'm still considering to flash my phone with the original stock(?) ROMS.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Most android users complain that they are experiencing noticeably more battery drain after they upgrade to JB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
First of all we are here at the nexus S forum it doesnt matter what the whole population is experiencing in regards to jelly bean, we dont have any serious battery life difference on the nexus S with ICS and jelly bean.

And I doubt any phone has DOUBLE the battery life difference.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
But there is still noticeable battery life difference. I said 'on most android devices' jelly bean consumes twice as much battery as compared to ICS. My point here is that ICS can be considered if battery life is the top priority of a certain user.

Google Search denies your statement that this is "absolutely not true".

I got friends who own these devices: Karbonn A9+, Innos D9, Galaxy Note

Their batteries last for a little less than a day on normal use (wifi, sms, some gaming, etc.) as compared to 2+ days when they were on ICS. They don't complain that much because they like the smoothness of JB.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gambler_3:
Sorry I have had many friends upgrade from ICS to JB on a variety of phones and no one complained about a serious battery life decrease.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2ksnoop:
Just stick with the stock rooted rom for a month . Then you may flash new roms ..

The battery life is the same for ICS and JB .. But standby battery backup has been improved in jellybean...

But free ram vaialable will be lower in JB after flashing gapps package..

The three roms which I will suggest you are 1. Xenon HD stable(mix of slimbean,aosp,cm,pa) 2.Slimbean(sleek and black) 3.Carbon Rom

And use Marmite kernal non cm version for the above roms.. Alrthough Slimbean comes with latest marmite kernel..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
I have always been with stock.

Few options that saved battery life:

1. If you have apps that turn on GPS when the app is not running (like Life360), its best to turn off the GPS when you are not using it. Power Control widget helps a lot here.

2. Turn off Wifi & mobile network Location under Settings->Location Access.

3. Turn off Google Now

4. Turn off Background Location Reporting for Google Maps.

5. Uninstall Facebook app. (the messenger app is ok)

My phone have gone from being left with 20% after 8 hours to around 60% after I have done the above. If you are having an old phone, consider getting a new battery as well, since the stock battery would probably be at least 2 years old by now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cipher75:
Agree.

I am using Nexus S with lastest CM 10.1 (release)

You might want to avoid :

Google now

Localisation (using GSM or Wifi)

Facebook : it is such a RAM eater it will have side effects on all the others apps, better use web app or Friendcaster

If you don't mind, de-activate 3G when you don't need it

Generally speaking, avoid large memory footprint apps, use opera (classic) as your daily browser and tune notifications.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E.U.A:
Best one that I tried is Marmite kernel.

Also you need have a task manager to kill programs/

Also It's DisableService application is a must.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hal2100:
Hello,

I am sorry if the question has been answered before, or this is the wrong forum...

I had problems with gmail and the playstore, none allowed the login, I always received connection error on different wifis. So I wiped data (which worked) but the initial setup is stuck on the connection to the google servers again. It won't connect and authenticate my google login.

So I tried the RCK option in the debug menue, but it only gives me an android with an exclamation mark.

Now my wuestion, I tried to unlock in the past, but was unable to do so (Connection error, blahblahblah...). Is it possible I am unlocked and have no knowledge of this? Is there an app which can test the unlocked bootloader or is trying to flash a custom rom "safe" as it just fails and everything will work as normal after that?

Thanks in advance,

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
Hi. I was just wondering if it would save more battery to disable LTE because in my country only certain areas have LTE. So would the radio searching for LTE drain life? I read somewhere that because of the integrated radios in the Snapdragon 600 series, there shouldn't be much difference from 3G, H, and LTE. Any thoughts?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MinecraftZombi.es:
Can't say for certain as i haven't got LTE in my area, but it can't hurt, right?

I believe that LTE does use more power in general, so it's probably a good idea anyway unless you really need it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] payh0ta:
I have LTE in my area, but I've noticed that if I turn it off the battery life does get better. Now if this is because it isn't actually connected or because it isn't looking, I'm not sure. But let us know!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgtiii:
Agree

+1
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajua:
It's because it isn't connected and actively using the LTE signal. It doesn't make any sense that any phone will be looking for a signal which is disabled.

I have very decent battery performance even when almost all the LTE areas in my city have 1-3 bars most of the time. I woudn't turn it off unless you see a massive improvement, like in one more hour of usage a day or something around that.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prinzhernan:
I guess there's not much difference with it being on and off. Yesterday mine drained 1 percent per hour of not using the phone in LTE.

Anyone else can contribute with their experience?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxVcVxX:
After fiddling with some undervolting settings, phone crashed, and rebooted. However, after rebooting, it crashed 2 more times without the under volt, and then rebooted once more with no data. All my apps are there, except they had no data in them, whatsapp had no messages etc.

Any ideas on how to recover?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimlogic:
It sounds like yes, the reboots basically wiped your data, much like how'd it be in a custom recovery. Moving forward, I'd recommend a combination of nandroid and Titanium backups. That's been my go-to combo for the past few months, and I've been able to get back from any snags I've had.

EDIT: Are the contents of your /sdcard folder wiped as well?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxVcVxX:
My sdcard hasn't been wiped, and I should mention that everytime it rebooted it had a green screen saying AT WATCHDOG BARK, or something similar, and pressing the power button would boot into the bootloader.

Unfortunately as I usually already undervolt, and have no issues with a global -100 mv I haven't done a Titanium backup in advance.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
raise your voltages asap, undervolting isnt a good thing a large percent of the time. the phone needs certain voltages to run things, lowering the voltages below will stop your phone from running those things. for example, the radio(for phone calls) needs a certain minimal voltage, without that voltage you wont be able to receive/make calls while the device itself runs fine.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kecupek:
Hi,

I'm WP8 user but I got older - but fully working - SE xperia X8 E15i with Android 2.3 (or 2.1?). I've wanted to test newer Android 4.1.2 according to this page.

So ... what I did:

installed SuperOneClick v2.3.3 and USB drivers for X8 (wasn't needed, drivers from SOC distribution were used) onto PC

rooted phone

installed ClockWorkMode Recovery for Xperia X8 onto PC and run the installation into phone

made the backup of existing OS via CWM onto memory card

downloaded OS 4.1.2 (cm_shakira_full-20.zip) and related GAPS (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) and store onto memory card

started to flash the ZIP with OS 4.1.2 via CWM but I got (as many other users) error "Status 7"

did recovery into original phone status with OS 2.3 via CWM from the mem card backup - it worked perfectly

found some additional info about this Shakira ROM like that even after the successful flash there is not WiFi, BT, 3G working - but it wasn't important for me, I just wnated to play with the OS and then turn it back into fully working OS 2.3

according to some users error "Status 7" with this particular Shakira ROM could be solved by editing of script "META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script"

the change consists in deleting the parameters of function Assert (); - which as I understood is the first function run during the upgrade and via parameters like [getprop("ro.product.device") == "E15i"] is checking HW platform ... this of course made me bit unsure ... but I had working recovery solution, so why to not test it

edited script and run upgrade via CWM once again

the installation of package "cm_shakira_full-20.zip" (80MB) passed without errors, but took only 3 secs (!!!) - I've understood that there will be problems ...

however, I've installed also package "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip" it took much more time than Shakira, ended without errors

after the restart phone is dead - LED is not lighting, speaker is not beeping

phone starts and ends on logo Sony Ericsson

pressing of "<-" button which allowed me to access CWM is not working - so I think the upgrade rewritten/destroyed the "loader" (sorry for using the PC terms) - naively I thought that CWM is installed into some higher level above the OS so it's always possible to run it

if I connect phone to PC via USB then

if I start the phone with holding the "<-" button then connect the cable then charging diode is lighting and phone is for few secs visible in Windows like "SEMC USB Flash"

after few secs (or if I'm not holding "<-" button during the start) phone is switching into "SEMC HSUSB" mode

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks
