Battery woes...

MIne came with a 1300...but I bought a spare via the O2 shop that came with a 1200 :?:

I've got hundreds of progs on the XDA. Do you mean a list of ones that are running on startup?

Thanks

PS USed to live in Werrington! :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
do you have bluetooth or wifi or both turned on all day ?

is the pda on all the time or off and only the phone on ?

is gprs turned on all day ?

IR is it set to recieve all incomming beams?

how long before the backlight turn itself off ?

how bright is the backlight set to be ?

many many factors
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevep:
Battery troubles

do you have bluetooth or wifi or both turned on all day ?

Both OFF

is the pda on all the time or off and only the phone on ?

Phone scheduled to be ON between 9 and 7pm

is gprs turned on all day ?

..Nope

IR is it set to recieve all incomming beams?

..Nope it's Off

how long before the backlight turn itself off ?

..1 minute

how bright is the backlight set to be ?

..about as low as it can go :lol:

As you can see, I've switched OFF most things to get drainage down to a minimum. As this is my SECOND device (o2 replaced the first one - same problem) and I'm trying out a second battery...my deduction is that it *MUST* be software related. I may be wrong and I'm hoping someone can point me in a different/new direction

I had a lot of hair when I bough this device - now I've very little left :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mikee4fun:
Make sure lock all buttons is engaged, second set turn lcd off after 30 sec, third turn off device after 1 minute and you should be dialed in. If this does not work, preform a hard reset then repeat process. Do not install any additional apps/progs! Now if it works try installing one proggy at a time and test the device. It is most likley that there is a program running a daemon that is killing your XDA-IIi

Mikee
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mikee4fun:
One more note. If you do a hard reset, which if I where you, I would, pay attention to the setup screen on the hard reset. When you see the O2 personal user corporate user screen, preform a soft reset with your stylus immediately! Then you will not get the O2 garbage and Icons.

battery power

hi

just got a xda2i and my battery doesent last long also my car phone charger wont charge it up quickly enough when its being used i took loads of stuff of but no difference.

regards kevin
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevep:
Thanks Mikee

Hi Mikee

Thanks for your advice. I'm a little uinlcelar how a hard reset will help. This is NEW machine, I only got it last week. How does a HARD reset help the bettery management?

Make sure lock all buttons is engaged,

Done

second set turn lcd off after 30 sec,

Done

third turn off device after 1 minute

Already switches off after a minute

and you should be dialed in.

ehhh?

:(

not sure what you mean
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Southern_Man:
Re: Thanks Mikee

There is a fault with your device - under Consumer Service Guarentee you can return and have it replaced immediately as these goods are definetly NOT fit for purpose.

Mind you, you should hard-reset and double-check, but I'd say you've got a lemon flavour there.

Tkae heart, if you're the only one then it should be easy to fix!

:D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Danny-B-:
My XDA ws the same when i first got it ... i'd deffo agree that the battery needs to be "optimised"

after a week or so you should notice a difference.

Heavy use of mine, ie listening to ,mp3s all day will take it down to about 15% (9 till 4 ish)

I have WIFI , bluetooth off

screen to the lowest brightness

power off after 30 seconds

[edit]

I just thought ..... You dont have the "Turbo mode" on do you ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevep:
Battery on XDAIIi

Hi Guys - Thanks for your advice. What I find hard to believe is that this is the SECOND device where the battery life is c***. All my instincts tell me it's NOT the device - this is the second one they've sent me - nor the battery (as I'm now on my THIRD one)

I really want to avoid a hard reset because of the time taken to reinstal everything afterwards. I lead a very busy business life :? , and I just don't have the time to 'start from scratch'

...but I guess I will, if enough people tell me a hard reset will sort it :wink:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] kevin.beecher:
i did a hard reset but it didnt make a difference and when i spoke to 02 they were very quick to exchange it and when i spoke to the guy he said i should expect it to crash every so often like windows does on a computer i disagreed with this abd explained my xda2sw didnt crash like this one did.

regards kevin :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jamil_mhmd:
stevep, in that case why don't u just make a complete backup of ur IIi, then perform a hard reset..

Sometimes the apps installed are the cause.. Also take note that switching to 'Turbo Mode' all the time will drain the batt pretty fast..
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevep:
Battery drain - hard reset

Thanks for your reply - it's appreciated...but I don't understand how a hard reset helps. Yes, I can back it all and restore it, but surely that'll just put the problem back on the XDA (if it's an app thats causing the drain) :wink:

Can anyone explain (from a techy point of view) how a hard reset MIGHT corrrect the battery drain problem :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] atio899:
Have you checked your turbo button under start, settings, power and then the processor speed? if you set it on turbo, it will eat up the battery VERY FAST. If else, I am using one and I am Happy with the battery life.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stevep:
I've actually tested it with turbo 'on' and 'off' and I didn't notice much difference either way. It's actually on 'standard' currently

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Botyto:
Okay, I just installed CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) on my Samsung GT-P5100 (first time I'm doing this)

1) Is there any way I can receive/listen FM radio ? Even if I have to change my firmware? I tried some apps, but I can't do it :X either they all crash when I launch them or they won't install at all..

2) Is there any way I can rearrange my applications in the "app drawer" that comes with the CM ? Maybe if I had a virtual menu button ?

3) Can I enable the virtual screenshot button on the bottom (the bar where the virutal back, home and running apps buttons are). I had ICS before this and I really liked it, but now - holding Power & VolumeDown, or taking a screenshot from the power menu.. I don't like it as much :D

Thank you in advance!!! :)

My phone finally passed the one year mark - no more warranty now so naturally, it's time to root and have some fun. I got root and bought the latest CWM touch recovery and have it installed and functioning properly. However, when I try flashing the latest CM10.1, I get a status 7 error. I've read all kinds of things about the phone being classified as a d2can, not d2att and changing the build.prop or update script but haven't the slightest clue as to how to do it. All the threads I've searched vaguely say how the people bypassed this error and not how to do it. I never ran into this problem with my old Optimus G2X so this is foreign land to me.

So I have a Bell GS3 i747M running the latest (rooted) 4.12 i747MVLDMF1 update with CWM 6.0.3.1. I'm also running Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Spike

Hi there, just would like to direct you to the Q&A forum as this thread belongs there, just a heads up so you know where to find it when it get's moved by a forum moderator, so for next time now you know where this kind of post belongs

Have you updated to the latest bootloader? what was the last stock firmware you flashed in odin?

also to edit build.prop for newer users, easiest way would be to download rom toolbox and inside there is a feature for "build.prop" edit,

changed I747M to I747, d2can to d2att and d2uc to d2v1 in the first few lines of the build.prop then save and reboot. once you are rebooted update you're recovery to get a d2att recovery.

cheers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 53Spike:
Thanks for telling me about the proper forum location and I apologize for a late reply, work got hectic the last couple of days, but alas, the long weekend is ahead!

I've updated my phone to the most recent Bell stock build so I'd assume the bootloader is recent as well. I then flashed the most recent stock ROM with root injected from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426 so build I747MVLDMF1.

With regards to the build.prop changes, I selected the d2att CWM recovery when I went to install one so I figured installing the d2att recovery would do the same as changing the build.prop parameters then installing the d2att recovery, no?

Thanks,

Spike

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tele_jas:
Just a quick comparison...

My boss has a Verizon S4, completely stock....Today she asked me to go through it and set up her blue tooth, office Wifi, and get rid of some of the notifications she's getting all the time.

I took this time to dig into the phone and compare her stock Verizon S4 to my At&t DeTmobilized (1.5) S3. First off, I love the S4.. But after playing with the two side-by-side, my NEED to get one has subsided quite a bit.

S3 - Snappier/faster UI.. Everything seemed to respond quicker (this is a very snappy ROM)

S3 - Opened apps quicker

S3 - S Voice responded quicker

S3 - S Voice gave quicker results (when a question was asked to both at the same time)

S3 - Opened up websites quicker using Chrome

S3 - loaded websites faster, but didn't render them as fast (if that makes sense?).

S4 - Camera was amazing, pic quality seemed pretty close (at least on the small screens)

S4 - Rendered the websites slightly faster (became clear faster).

S4 - Quadrant Standard showed it was 4000 points higher than the S3 (S3 was around 6000, S4 was around 10,000), but didn't feel it when using it.

At&t's LTE was faster in this location with the At&t S3 at 26mbs and the Verizon S4 at 14mbs.

Just some quick comparison... I realize if the S4 had a custom ROM, it would have smoked the S3 in most (or all) aspects. But this makes me feel good having an S3. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cadorette:
This is a nice comparison. Ive actually owned both an S3 and an S4 on AT&T and have great LTE coverage here in Nashville.And your Comparisons are pretty much on par with my experience. I've since went back to the S3 just for a pound for pound better device software wise.

Thanks for your work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
I agree!! Been running the same ROM since inception and love it!! I really wanted an s4, but will probly hold out til the s5 or something, this phone is more than good enough for the time being. On a side note though, quadrant is not reliable at all, and the score proves nothing!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knucklesmckay:
At&t LTE is faster than Verizon's LTE for me too. Thanks for the comparison. S3 is also nice because it has an unlocked bootloader.

Sent from my SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tele_jas:
Yeah, I kind of figured that.. I can run it 3 time and get 3 different results that range from the mid to upper 4000's to lower 6000's on my S3. But I figured 4000 points is a "ballpark" comparison.

Just curious, are there any good bench-marking programs our there?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
I've heard good things about AnTuTu benchmark, but I've never personally used it, so I'm not sure???

I just recently installed my first custom rom on s3, and the difference is insane. It's soooo snappy. It was starting to feel a bit slow with the S4's and HTC One's of the world floating around, but my desire to upgrade has also subsided a great deal.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] illmatic24:
I am more than happy with this device and don't see much of a reason to upgrade.

We have a working build of 4.3 (CM 10.2) thanks to some very keen developers. Performance wise CM 10.2 on this phone is on par with GS4 or HTC one as any lag I noticed in 4.2.2 is gone and everything feels more "buttery". The improvements from 4.2 to 4.3 are anything but minimal (http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html) and it really shows on this device.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bruce Lee:

att vs. vzw?

I wonder how much of a difference the two carriers' versions of these phones make for the performance. I also have an AT&T S3, and on the newest CM 10.2 it is very snappy and the battery life is great. I have a friend who has a similar set-up on his Verizon phone and his stutters sometimes and doesnt get as good battery life as me. I do have AT&T LTE in this area, not sure what kind of coverage Verizon has though.
[HTC One X] ShadowOfScales:
My One X seems to simulate the press of the power button at random, regardless of rom, it also wakes for some reason when I touch the screen sometimes.

The power button press simulation is completely random, but usually occurs in bursts, sometimes in concentrated presses which can turn off the phone, has anyone ever had this problem, and what are the steps I should take to fix it?
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
stock rom and stock kernel?
[HTC One X] ShadowOfScales:
It occurs regardless of ROM, I've got Serenity 4.75 installed atm, but it did it on Android Revolution which the previous owner (got it from ebay) had. it may be a hardware issue, and a quite uncommon one, the device works perfectly otherwise.

It seems to have been repaired before, which may be something to do with this.

Edit: I've got the same ROM and kernel on my white One X with a cracked screen and don't have the same issue.
[HTC One X] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
Maybe hardware issue ....but try to open the phone and put the button right back in maybe its wrong in or so...but if all is normal it's an hardware issue

[HTC One X] treebill:
Watch out when opening the volume and power buttons at quite fiddly to get back right.
[HTC One X] ShadowOfScales:
Already tried this, it didn't have any effect, I think it's something to do with the internal button that the plastic thing we call a button presses down on.

I'd say an electrical current that runs through the replaced screen manages to somehow find where the power button-related electronics are and somehow activates it, otherwise I don't know why touching the screen can wake up the device when it's sleeping, doesn't happen on the other One X with same ROM/Kernel and settings.

?????Link missing?????
[HTC Droid DNA] finanandroid:
you meant the DNA as "this" ... yes you can flash it to Page Plus ( google it) PP only support 3G, CDMA so you can flash some ROMs no all

when you flash to PP it change the MEID, IMed etc.. so as long the Rom does not require any changes like APN setting or GSM Patches, it

will work ok. You will only need to flash VZW Roms in order to be supported on or by PP.

hope this help

Edit: The DNA have to be modified by the dealer, you will have to send the phone to them. U cant flash a 4G phone to PP through their Web Site.

Better to ask your question in the Goldeneye ROM thread itself - you will get answers quicker.

Did you flash the AT&T icons addon from the 1st post of the Goldeneye ROM thread?

If you didn't do that, then you have the standard icons. With standard, if you see the "4G" icon, then you are connected to LTE. You can confirm this by going to settings/about/status and look at "Mobile network type" and mine says LTE:14.

If you did flash the AT&T icons and you are actually not getting LTE (and you can confirm you are in an LTE area), you should ask your question in the Goldeneye ROM thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] giraffe901:
My status says HSPA:11 and when I try to change the network mode to LTE, it won't let me. So it's not the icons that are the problem.

Hello all,

I am a total novice at this stuff but request a little help. If you have 2 minutes spare please humour me and help out :wink:

I decided to upgrade my ROm etc for the first time and went to the o2 XDA site to do it.

It seemed to go fine. Then I restored my full backup from the xbackup thing, from my SD card. Is this correct? Or have I just undone my ROM upgrade? All my programs are back on but it looks the same.

If I cant restore after an upgrade, how do i get all my photos and other things back on? I can reinstall programs no prob, and contacts and calender will sync from my PC, but what about everything else?

Sorry if this question has already been asked but I tried the search facility and got nowhere.

Thanks in advance

Glad you solved your problem. The reason that you never got an answer is that the topic of should I restore a backup after a new rom flash has been covered so many times before.

I will add a line in wiki BlueAngel For Beginners
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HPJ:
Yeah I thought that, but the search facility seems to give so many inaccurate results that it just takes too long to go through all of them.

I'm just not technically minded, as I'm sure many others on here aren't, so more often than not we are stumped by the simplest of things.

Oh well...still far better off with the xda2s than anything else!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
I understand your point on the search, it takes time to work it out and some things you just can't search for as they seem to be blocked.

The problem that we have is trying to work out the post that are based on the fact the the user has tried to find a solution and the ones that just have not.

Take the upgrade issue, we have wiki and it points you to a thread that reads Wiki, help me and yes I have read getting started. So Why do we have new threads that read upgrade failed?

On good days some of us point new users in the right direction and on bad days some of us don't. Would be nice if it was not allways the same ones.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] twn2:
That's the problem I had also. I'll search for stuff, but when I get results, a lot of them conflict. Not only that, but in the wiki there are things that branch off onto multiple levels. If someone ran a graphical link checker, I'm sure one would find a spider web.

I've found that I got more precise answers by posting and getting a response than going to the wiki. Although, I actually learned more by reading through the wiki....after I did what I needed to do first.

I use Linux and in the config file for Postfix, there are a million things that you can change. Looking through it I thought I had to change everything. Turns out, after I asked, I only had to make 2 changes to get it working.

I'm sure the mods and the expert posters do the best they can, but I'm thinking some spring cleaning needs to happen....from a newbie's point of view.
