[HTC Sensation] Lostmymind904:
This is a rather simple question do different roms really have better battery life then others or is it more of the choice of kernel? Do roms effect battery life as much as the choice of kernel? I currently have vipers Rom and just maxed out at 3:20 of screen on time with stock battery with underclocked and undervolted Sebastian kernel and want to no if switching to elegancia Rom would really make a difference in battery at all

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Battery usage is a very subjective matter.

Everyone uses their phones differently,so , judging battery life between people is hard.

Yes , some ROMS are better than others.

Yes, some kernels are better than others.

It is the combination of the right ROM and kernel for you that is going to matter.

And no one can tell you what that is.

Experiment for a couple of days to see how they work.

READ what other people are saying about them in the threads.

OR,

Get a couple of spare batteries,and carry them around with you,and then , power is never a problem.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vphotographic:
Hi guys

I see ppl saying this all the time but what is involved in a full wipe before installing a ROM ??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
wipe data(factory reset). people will also tell you to wipe dalvik and cache, but thats pointless since wiping data(factory reset) also wipes the dalvik and cache. some ocd individuals will tell you to wipe even more, but thats not really necessary.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gd6noob:
Im not sure if im OCD but I do factory reset 3 times.. haha probably not necessary... but it doesnt take long after the first time and since in twrp your still on the screen I hit hit the enter key 2 more times... lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
only 3 times? i know people that do it more, plus dalvik and cache 3 or 4 times. and i know people that will complete wipe the partitions of the phone, so the phone has no rom and is completely blank, before they flash a new rom, lol ;)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Buzzcutb:
I am running the 7/16 nightly of carbon and I can not get my phone to rotate in any apps unless it is an app which only runs in landscape mode. I tried doing a fresh install, battery pull, calibrate and yes, my gyroscope is turned on. I dont remember dropping it lately or almost ever. I even restored my recovery and I was having the same issues there. I am wondering if I might have got rid of something I need in a system folder. I am using clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.3 and have done a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. Any suggestions are welcome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Buzzcutb:
Well after doing more research I determined the accelerometer stopped working. Apparently instead of the gyroscope, this is whats used to determine if the screen needs to rotate. If anyone else has my same problem I downloaded a free accelerometer tester from the app store. My warranty expired 4 days ago but luckily verizon is helping me out with a refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
Sorry if you already determined with certainty this is the problem but are you positive none of your settings conflict? I remember struggling and forgot that apex launcher has the auto rotate option but so did the accessibility tab in settings. I'm running PA though.

Edit: Does your navigation work? I don't know what controls it but I think it needs the accelerometer..?

Pretty sure my nav was still working. But i guess you were right overall, somehow I just got it to start working again. I flashed back to stock and even did the touchwiz system reset and it wasnt working. I needed to reset my flash counter so I rooted again and ran triangle away. Somewhere in there it started working again! I would be interested to know if anyone has any ideas what could have gone wrong in the process.

2) Half SDS as it has not-so-affectionately become known. This tends to be more of a boot loop of the Samsung boot splash. the eMMC is partially wiped out. You cannot boot into android or recovery. It fails at the boot screen, but the screen does turn on none-the-less. The only; thing you can do is top boot into Download mode.

actually this happening to my device now. any solution?

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] danchris329:
I'm aware that there are many forums about these various things but seemingly, no matter what I do, I cannot successfully restore my phone to working order. I just would like it to be stock again. This all came about in the process of trying to un-root my phone. Using TWRP i accidentally deleted my system files, and unfortunately have no back up due to the full wipe. I really am a somewhat uneducated in this realm of knowledge so I apologize ahead of time for that. I immensely appreciate any and all help possible! :fingers-crossed:

The Status of my Phone:

Sprint HTC ONE

Tampered; Unlocked, S=ON

TWRP Recovery

No OS, only have access to Bootloader, Fastboot, and TWRP Recovery

The Status of my PC:

Most recent Sdk file download

Most recent HTC Sync Manager (I think this means i have up to date drivers too?)

Fastboot files are installed.

The Stock rom i'm trying to push/flash/install is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250904

These are My Problems:

Phone cannot be recognized while in fastboot. This cause me to be unable to re-lock the phone.

The command fastboot devices yields no results where as the command ADB devices does detect my phone.

My phone can be detected in recovery, not fastboot.

I have pushed the rom to my phone however upon install attempts from the recovery I simply "Error flashing zip" without any error number or anything.

If other information is needed please ask and I will try to provide it. I'm not sure where to go from here and would really not like having a brick since i have no way to replace the phone until my contract ends :(.Thanks again everyone, I really do appreciate any help, advice, or information ;)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. Hopefully this will allow fastboot to see your phone. Then run the ruu.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] danchris329:
Okay, just did that, and it hasn't seemed to change the issue. Should I try uninstalling all the htc files on the pc and then just find a file of just drivers? Thanks for your help coal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
You're welcome. That might work, but I'm unsure why it didn't work. Are you on Windows 8? There are some special steps you have to do I think. Also, the drivers don't work on the Windows 8.1 preview.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] karn101:
Go to your Device Manager in Control Panel. What does it say under Android Device?

Also, have you tried different ports?

And does it say Fastboot USB?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
make sure you dont have windows 8.1

cuz nothing in hboot gets recognized with 8.1
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
That's what I said. ;)

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] danchris329:
Coal:

I am using windows 8, but it is the latest official release, not 8.1.

Karn:

It does say Fastboot USB in all red text, and i have tried different usb ports. however they are all usb 3 so i don't know if that matters.

In terms of the connecting of my phone is unrecognized and windows say it has malfunctioned. In the control panel under devices my phone is displayed as follows in the picture.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
The are special instructions somewhere on XDA for Windows 8. The exclamation tells me that may be the issue. I use Windows 7, so I'm not sure what they are.

Also, I do think people have sometimes had issues with using usb 3 ports, but my old computer doesn't have those, so I can't say personally.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] danchris329:
That's a good point, i'm gonna go and try everything on a windows 7 pc with usb 2 ports and see if i have any luck. Thanks a lot coal, i'll post how that goes sometime soon with an update.

After following the instructions on this thread to flash DSP Manager onto my phone, it didn't work so I uninstalled it. However, I realized that the update.zip overwrote some system files required for the stock MusicFX equalizer in Google Play Music to work.

/system/etc/audio_effects.conf

all the files in

/system/lib/soundfx/

Please note that root access is NOT required to read and copy the files listed above, and I would prefer if someone with an unrooted phone could send them. Otherwise, just make sure you haven't modified those files from the original stock versions.

Sorry bout that. I didn't bother with the eastlink firmware because in the past hardly anyone ever used it. Just didn't seem worthwhile to take over a gig of space for it.

[Galaxy Note II General] nabilsweet007:
now.note 2 willnot have 4.2..direct 4.3 here is proof

Australian carrier Telstra has received a confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G model will skip Android 4.2.2 and will be updated straight to the 4.3 Jelly Bean. It doesn't seem to be a regional thing either - all Galaxy Note II units might be treated that way.

Here is the official quote from Telstra's support page:

Samsung have elected globally to skip the 4.2.2 update for this device and will instead go to a newer version of Android. No schedule has been provided for this update.

We already know that Samsung Galaxy Note II will live long enough to taste the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, so owners shouldn't worry about the Android updates.

Meanwhile, Samsung still manages to keep the upcoming Galaxy Note III under wraps, but a picture taken with it popped up in Picasa yesterday. It hardly gives us much info, but it does confirm the device model number - N9005. This will most probably going to be the Snapdragon 800 version of the phablet with the revamped Exynos 5 powering the N9000 version.

The Note III will be announced on September 4 ahead of IFA in Berlin. It's expected to bring 5.7" 1080p Super AMOLED display and 3GB of RAM.

I'm in the same boat. There's no other device that I want, and the Note III is still far away. The 4.2.2 update was supposed to come out and make that bridge, that's why I find it very disappointing to hear those news.

Oh how truly awful it is for you! You have to wait a little to get an update that most 2012 phones will never even see Officially, must be hearbreaking and truly disappointing that your phone is being supported and getting the very latest and greatest OS version. :(

I bet the very same people would be complaining if Samsung updated the Note2 to 4.2.2 now and took even longer to update it to 4.3 and 5.0.

By the way, can someone name me one other 2012 Android phone sitting on 4.2.2 other than the Nexus 4? also, please name me one OTHER 2012 Android phone, other than Note2 (plus possibly GS3) and N4 that is confirmed to be getting 4.3?

5.7 full hd display

3gb ram

13mp camera and many more

The next generation Galaxy Note phablet from Samsung is one of the most anticipated devices of the year, so understandably rumors about it aren't hard to come by. According to latest report the Galaxy Note III will be announced two days before IFA 2013 kicks off - on September 4.

The report also says Samsung Galaxy Note III is said to sport a 5.7" Super AMOLED display, rather than the 6" unit that was most frequently mentioned so far. The 1080p resolution is still expected to feature a Snapdragon 800 chipset or an Exynos 5 Octa processor along with 3 GB of RAM.

Furthermore, the third generation Galaxy Note phablet is said to come out with a 13 megapixel rear camera and will be slightly thinner than the Galaxy Note II with its profile measuring 8mm.

Unfortunately, there is no official word from Samsung just yet, but the IFA 2013 launch seems inevitable, considering the strong competition in the phablet club.
