[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pifsworld:
Its a shame the 800 processor wasnt ready when the galaxy s4 was being constructed as I still find my s4 slow to react to commands yes the last update helped but it should be better,I love the design of the s4 and the beautiful screen, I wonder if the galaxy note 3 will have the snapdragon 800 under the bonnet..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sammath:
If you believe samfirmware the note 3 will have a s800 or the new exynos.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alireza_rm2009:
hey its the best phone ever and nothing is smoother and faster than s4

what do you want from a phone?perhaps you dont like animations then turn it off from developer options
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_ecko28:
You cant notice but technology is fast moving. After galaxy note 3 release and s5 there will be a new set of hardwares again.

You have to accept that in time your phone will be outdated regardless of how much you buy it.

You dont need to worry... thats the way it is..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevourlance27:
if you want an s800 processor for the s4 buy this instead :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DPCardoza:
Anybody else not terribly impressed with the battery life? Last night my bar Terry was at 87% and I pH Fayed about 30 minutes of of riptide and finished at 52% Rooted Running slim bean ROM, stock kernal. Not sure if this is normal but seems like it isn't as efficient as my former iPad 2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MrPhilo:
I played Riptide 2 with 80% brightness for 1 hour and it only drained around 15-20% if I remember yesterday and I got my tablet yesterday as well so the battery hasn't settled in yet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NYCHitman1:
No complaints about battery life here. It's outperforming any expectations I had previously.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MeS117:
At the beginning, my battery drained heavily after a few hours with the screen off! After a couple of days however, battery life is the greatest than on any device I have owned. Perhaps it takes a couple of days. Overnight idle, only 2% battery drain.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] farenteria:
I'm using Carbon rom with Elemental kernel, and my battery life is awesome. Try a different kernel, and you might get better results
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Deathman20:
Stock Rom + Jassy 5 Kernel

1d 7h 45min run time (51min screen, with gaming RR3 for 9min) Gives me still 78% battery life left.

No fancy settings.

On stock Kernel, i was getting roughly 2 1/2 - 3 days battery with 4 hours of screen time and 60-90min of intense gaming.

So I think you might have a rouge app or its the rom/kernel (yes its stock to the rom but is it modified in any way?)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SubMatrix:
Just plugged my n7 in this morning to charge, was at 6%. 6d12h uptime, 7h20 screentime (90% reading in Google Play Books). Stock, rooted, wifi set to off when idle.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DPCardoza:
Gonna have to mess around with some of the settings. Just watched a one hour show and battery went from 97-76%
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Matrix_19:
You definitely have an issue with your battery...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] tvdang7:
I'm getting about the same battery life as the old one streaming Netflix. But if it's just regular browsing is a year better
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] zedwards:
Might want to see how stock does first? then maybe try a rom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] freeza:
I had terrible battery life too, even on standby. Turns out it was a faulty unit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Omar04:
Try it stock then compare. I got awesome battery life on mine stock better that OG N7

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] studdmufin:
Are you guys having the battery drain while plugged in and watching Netflix? I feel as if this isn't normal. I even had lux installed with brightness at -50%
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Macmee:
I think the problem is that you're comparing the battery life to that of an iPad. iOS devices are going to blow most Android devices out of the water when it comes to battery life.

Having said that, my new N7 seems to have better battery life than the 2012 N7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] OJ in Compton:
I have been out of the loop with recent android updates, and my most recent exchanged device has very high Mediaserver usage-56% used, 10h kept awake and my battery is currently at 54%. Neither of the previous N7s I had showed this same issue, and I have used a very minimal amount of time actually using music/pictures apps. Disabling the stock media apps (gallery, play music) did nothing to stop it.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NovaSlim:
According to Aanandtech Nexus 7 2013 mini review, N7 2013's brightness is 86% brighter than N7 2012, 43% brighter than ipad 4, 54% brighter than Ipad mini, hence why when all are set to 100% brightness the N7's battery life will be substantially worse. Be more conservative with your brightness levels( 54% N7 2013 brightness =100% N7 2012 brightness) if you want battery life that is similar to Ipad2.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] SmarkWOW:
I've actually been very impressed with my 32GB battery life. I had the Nexus 7 (2012) 16GB and it would go dead running AOKP if left off the charger (no actual use) for like three days. I have stock 2012 32GB and have been using it heavily (same apps) and it will definitely get me through the day even with what I would consider very heavy use. If I know I'm going to be hanging out at home playing a game with bluetooth and max screen brightness I always plug mine in though.

Overall, in my opinion, a definite improvement over the 2012 version, and I have no complaints.

Edit: I was also going to suggest getting the app "Battery Drain Analyzer". It provides some cool features the default battery drain section of settings does not. It includes a percentage drain/charge per hour, estimated battery life, some charts and stuff too so you can see what is using your power.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cyberprodigy:
I'm getting 10+ hours battery life.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] gbeaguilar:
Compared to my iPad Mini's battery life, yes my nexus 7 battery does not impress me. I guess I shouldn't expect great battery life when I play games. Maybe it was a bug but once I was playing Dead Trigger and turned the screen off but the battery still dropped VERY quickly

L. Ive also noticed that playing some games, like SVZ Defense 2, pretty much keeps the battery level constant while charging.

But other than gaming, I find battery life adequate. It's not great, but good enough for my uses. Once I take the time to do some research I hope to find a ROM that will increase my units life.

But yeah, DO NOT compare battery life to an iPad's. You will not be happy. Oh well, at least these things are better in ever other regard!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] NovaSlim:
The N7 2013 is 54% brighter(583 nits) than Ipad mini(378 nits), ofc it is going to have less battery life if you use both at full brightness.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aidancheddar:
Mine has been quite fine. It does get low time-to-time but I do play graphic heavy games and the heat doesn't help matters too. Aside from that, I keep brightness on auto and it usually takes a couple hours to get to 15%.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] highfigh:
First tablet but I have been very impressed, not knowing what to expect. Especially the standby. I only lose a percent or two overnight.

Agree about not comparing this to iPad mini, also. Its like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford focus. Sure you can go further on a tank of gas with the focus, but which one would you want to drive?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kisrita:
I'm pretty impressed. Better than any other Android I've had to date, significantly better than my Note 8. Up till I purchased this tablet, every Android I had was clearly worse in battery than the iPad, without even needing to measure. This one comes close enough that I can't say without actually testing. However, I did have to set it to have Wi-Fi off when the device is off, since I had some odd battery drain on the second day.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RKight:
I'm running rooted stock, along with Greenify and Juice Defender. I went to bed last night with 85% battery and woke up six hours later with...85% battery. I've barely had it a day and a half but I'm impressed so far. Compared to my OG N7, this thing has amazing battery life. I've used it quite a bit today, over about a 17 hour period, and I'm still sitting at 61%. That includes a lot of Facebook, Quadrant and 3DMark, five minutes of Netflix (just to compare the screen to my old N7), some web browsing, GPS Test, and probably more that I'm forgetting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] wintermute000:
Check your brightness and wakelocks (background apps, location, etc.)

Mine survived around 6 hours screen time including 24 hours standby and plenty of gaming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vegas_Sirk:
Hey guys ... Im running Eclipse's GE Rom and things have been working great until today. I use the Verizon Range extender at my house so at home on wifi, but when I left my house today I tried to do some online banking on my phone and the app kept saying no data. I looked at the phone and it was showing full bars with 4G. I then tried Facebook and everything loaded fine, then tried a Google search in Chrome and it pulled up results fine, so I went back to the app and tried again with no luck. I thought maybe it was a bug with the app so I deinstalled and opened up the Play store to reinstall and thats when the Play store said no data as well. I think check Gmail, and again no data, tried another google search and it worked fine, check facebook again and it was working fine. So I figured I would just login to my banking via their website, searched for the bank site on google which the search pulled up fine tapped the link/url and the web page wouldnt load.

So long story short data works on some stuff but not all:

Worked on Facebook

Worked on Chrome For Searches but will not load web pages

Will Not Work On Play Store

Will Not Work On Gmail

I tried turning data on and off and had no luck

I tried rebooting 2x and no luck

Any thoughts???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vegas_Sirk:
Update:

now it seems to be working fine again .... maybe its an area issue as I drove to work and now it works fine.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mgbotoe:
Hate to break it to ya but there's no such thing as "most stable rom"

Matter of what you use the rom for, how you use it and if you know how to tweak it to your liking.

Welcome to the s4 forum. I never thought I would run into someone from the Evo 3d side I had one my self I would suggest wicked 5.1and yes you will have LTE its a rock solid rom and it comes some vary nice bells and whistles . The s4 is way easier to flash roms and kernel's you know what to do gather up the tools you need like odin 3.7 and as a backup I've found that samsung keis as well good luck

Hello everyone, I would like to ask if anyone has installed the framework JKAY 14.95 (ported by ZaneZam) on OmegaROM ver. 43.9 (based on firmware XXEMG5) and theme Kalagas Mixed Theme and everything is working correctly.

I saw that the battery icon does not indicate the correct level of charge.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] ne0fhyk:
Keyboard Manager Plus is a full remake of the original Keyboard Manager, for non-rooted devices!

This version retains all the functionality of the free + paid version of Keyboard Manager.

It lets you customize which keyboard to use based on your device configuration.

The supported configurations include hard keyboard toggle, orientation switch, apps switch, and docking.

As your device goes through each configuration, the app automatically switch the keyboard by invoking the 'Select input method' dialog, and selecting the appropriate keyboard.

Google Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ne0fhykLabs.android.utility.kmplus

NOTE:

- KM+ acts as an accessibility service, and as such, it needs to be enabled from the Android Accessibility screen in the Android Settings.

- Optimized for Samsung Galaxy S4

- In docking mode, Android DayDream interferes with the keyboard switch.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] PhilDX:
i purchased the original root version a long time ago (before it was free).

i just purchased this version now to say "thanks" for continuing to support the root version all this time - its a very handy and unique app and it still works great on my galaxy nexus.
[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] claudiobp:
Hello.

I purchased Keyboard Manager Plus because of a problem between Samsung and External Keyboard Helper.

Each time the phone detects that a Bluetooth keyboard was connected/disconnected, it changes from whatever keyboard was set to Samsung keyboard.

How do I have to setup Keyboard Manager Plus to put back from Samsung keyboard to the External Keyboard Helper each time I connect the Bluetooth keyboard to my smartphone?

Greetings from Paraguay.

[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
I found that in recovery mode I cannot connect the phone with ADB. After searching for a long time I finally found this post. Similar to Nexus 7, it seems that our ZR is also using a different hardware ID which is not included in our Xperia A driver in FlashTool driver pack.

Then I tried to modify the driver INF file to add the hardware ID reported in recovery mode. After several trial I finally managed to install the driver successfully and ADB command works fine now in CWM recovery.

To simplify the procedures, I've packed a Xperia A only driver. Just follow the procedures below to install the driver for CWM recovery.

Step 1: Reboot your phone into recovery and connect it to your PC with USB

Step 2: Open Device Manager in Windows. You should see the unknown device.

Step 3: Right click the unknown driver and select Properties. In the Details tab, check the Hardware Ids. My device is USB\VID_0FCE&PID_6182. If you see a different ID, go to next post to edit the driver INF.

Step 4: Unzip the Xperia A driver zip into any folder in your PC

Step 5: Right click the unknown driver and select Update Driver Software

Step 6: Select Browse my computer for driver software

Step 7: Input the path that you unzipped the driver in step 4 and click Next.

Step 8: You should see the unknown driver replaced with Sony sa0107 ADB Interface Driver

Sony Xperia A driver
[Sony Xperia ZR] itandy:
If your hardware ID is different than mine, all you need to do is update your hardware ID in the driver INF file.

First get your hardware ID in Step 3 in post 1

Unzip the Xperia A driver in any folder in your PC

Edit the file sa0107adb.inf inside

Modify the line 53 and 77 with your own hardware ID

Save the file and try the steps in post 1 again

2. Which is the best rom to upgrade to. I read someehere its the Asian Rom.

3. Can someone provide a link to me for the latests rom for this model

I would appreciate your help.

In case it's not a known issue, bluetooth will not turn on. Otherwise, nice so far.

[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
Noticed that too.

Should be fixed next build.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] guythnick:
I think this is resolved, if not much better.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] killersloth:
I'm pretty sure the Bluetooth issue is just a missing commit away from being fixed.

There is a bug hiding in recent app screen where previews are the wrong orientation.

This is actually a pretty nice ROM. Thanks killersloth!

As people have pointed out bluetooth doesn't work, but also init.d scrips are not enabled. Apart from that haven't really faced any major issues.

Hoping the next release fixes these bugs.

Any chance of getting the SLIMOTA working? I know this is an unofficial Slimbean build, but couldn't you edit the app to point to your server instead?
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] bpaulien:
I really like this one! It is snappier than cm10.2, and I think I like it even better than Carbon. I'm still getting it set up, but so far I'm impressed. I. Haven't tried everything I need yet, but I like the responsiveness, and think I may have found my new daily driver! :D at least until something else comes along that I have to try ;). I'm wishing I could try Ubuntu, but it is not ready yet.

I'll stick with this for a while and see how it goes.

Thanks again, though, it's really cool to see so many ROMs popping up for this device.
[Nook HD, HD+ Android Development] pinguy1982:
Two more bugs to add. Locations doesn't work and the Youtube app is very buggy. Going to hold off using this as a daily driver. Will try again after a couple of releases.

We've been blessed with so many great ROMs, each has its own features&tweaks. It's hard to pick one for a daily usage. But it's fun to

flash anyway and I've tried many.

Today I flashed Slimbean on my 2013Nexus7 and I think I found my daily ROM. It has some many features&tweaks from many ROMs and more.

Just the stuffs I like very much. Right away, I also flashed Slimbean on my 2012Nexus7.

And then I saw this ... Slimbean on the NookHD+ !!! Will flash this right away ... and follow this thread.

I'm sure that the option is there somewhere, but I have looked through all the obvious and some not so obvious places in the settings with no luck. What I want is to see the battery percentage shown on the unlock screen. So I hit the home button to wake up the Nook, and it has the unlock code (or password or connect the dots. Or whatever) and on that page is shown battery remaining.

Please let me know how to access this option. Thanks.
