[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pandurang_m:
Mine is completely different after firmware update battery charge very very fast(~1.3 hours to charge from 30 - 100%) and lasts longer. However it is my second mobile, my first mobile was having battery drain issues, sim undetected issues and I got replaced by Sony. Now the new device works like a charm.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] m3dd0g:
Moderate usage. 510 base

your battery life looks very good,

what is your typical usage of the phone? web? music?

thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pandurang_m:
~30 min extensive gaming, lots of Web browsing, lots of WhatsApp, watching YouTube for about ~30 min, then writing on forums and more. I use my device to the core hardly I move to pc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unknown364:
battery

Very confusing,

some reviews show a horrible battery life of 5 hours of some web browsing other stuff.

I'm also seeking more info about battery life and this is the only reason i did not buy the phone yet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pandurang_m:
If we read the basic manual which is given in the box it says initially the battery backup will be less and it will take atleast a week to get the maximum power and these reviews are from the day one. And some devices are defective or firmware buggy it happens with every new launched device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
It's impossible to tell if the battery life is good enough for you or not. It all depends on HOW you use it. 5 hours of screen time? Sure, but you won't get 5 hours of gaming out of it, but you can get 5 hours of reading or other low intensive activity that doesn't max out the CPU/GPU. If you're a heavy gamer, then get a Note 2 or something and slam a 7000 mAh battery on it. You'll need a truck to drive it around, but hey; it'll survive the apocalypse and what not. You can be the guy in The Walking dead with a functioning phone! Or you can be the guy who has a phone with an OK battery that will let you use it through the day when you actually need it. It's totally up to you.

Since i'm at it, what exactly do you use your phone for?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unknown364:
Im not gaming on my phone.

Some web browsing and reading on kindle app.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
So after a couple of cycles and mod stamina on you'll get an easy 5h screen if you not put brightness at 100%. Totally normal time of screen on for a high end android device.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
OK, i don't think you'll have any problems then :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] unknown364:
Thank you.

Will it last a whole day of moderate usage? No gaming.

I mean from morning till like 10-11 pm, i do not have where to charge it during the day
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't have the Ultra yet, but i still have my Note which is using a 2500 mAh battery - which frankly isn't any good, and i can easily get a full day out of it with moderate usage (no gaming), so i'm fully confident that the Ultra will manage a full day - as many people here have already proved.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pandurang_m:
Very normal usage without games or videos.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BullishBil:
I have my O2 mini to connect to Exchange Server, however, it won't connect automatically (my settings is at every 15 minutes). It kept generating the following error:

"unable to connect, verify your dialup or proxy settings are correct, and try again. Error code: CONNMGR_36"

However, if I connect the GPRS manually first, and then manually press the Sync button for Active Sync (at O2 mini), ir works just fine.

Please help. It drives me crazy to manually do this all the time!

Thanks, William
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nishadks:
I think you're connect to gprs using work profile in network connections. Thats why it is checking dial-up username, proxy setting and others. Change the connect ot ISP for activesync. Also you can keep GPRS always connected. Why you need to disconect GPRS?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BullishBil:
Thanks for the reply. where do you change the settings so that activesync will connect ot ISP? I don't see any settings/options at all at the activesync tools menu.

Also, how do you keep the GPRS connected all the time? My GPRS got disconnected from time to time.

Sorry for all these questions. I am a newbie at pocket pc (just transfer from my good ol' palm to the awesome o2 mini).

Thanks again,

William
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] nishadks:
To change that go to setting > connections > connections > advanced > select network. Chosse internet programs "My ISP" and go back to Tasks in connections and configure you gprs connection details in "My ISP".

Your GPRS disconnection issue you have talk with your provider support. Mine I will never disconnect it.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BullishBil:
still not working. Activesync still won't connect automatically, but manually works fine. Any tips?

Well, hello and good day to all of you!

I'm a new guy here at the forums by the way, I need help or instructions on how to root this particular Spreadtrum smartphone I just recently bought two days ago.

I tried searching the forum and found some similar or related threads, but I'm not quite taking the risk in following those threads without asking someone with the knowledge about this phone... I was even shocked to know that some Spreadtrum powered phones are not really an ICS device. XD

So anyway, here are the specs:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] foolforfood:
I'm running cm10.2 right now, but this issue is independent of Rom. Right now about 30% of the time my capacitive buttons won't respond, and sometimes the recent apps button starts registering phantom touches all over the place and I can't do anything unless I turn the screen off and on again. I'd like to know if there's a way to completely disable the capacitive buttons, not just the backlight, and turn on the on screen buttons. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joniler:
Same here...

*BUMP* I have the same problem with my phone... Any fix for this? Running CM 10.1 RC. I have tried those scripts to disable the bottons so that I can use the softkeys, but they won't disable. Any ideas XDA? :confused:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] JOHNGAETANO:
I am looking for a tablet that I can use for some note taking. I want something I can sync with my PC, and have notes always available to view.

My notes are typically 1/2 page to 1 full page, nothing more. Some small rough sketches.

Can anyone give me some real life examples of how the galaxy note 8 is helping them with note taking?

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] dr.m0x:
I use lecture notes. I timestamp my notebooks and sort them into relevant folders and tag them with keywords so that I can find the relevant notes instantly. Works pretty well so long as I keep some sort of consistency with the tagging indexes.

I use drop sync to upload all my notes to drop box so that I can view them in png format from any computer. Can't search by the index tags that way though so it isn't ideal. If I'm not accessing them from the Note 8 it's usually the Note 2 though.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Brumill:
Thats the reason why I bought the note this week. Will get back here in a few weeks time and share my findings.

Evernote seems at least a good solution to sync between PC and other devices.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] crp62:
Stylus Labs "Write" is another possible solution.

I use Stylus Labs Write on my Note 8, Note 10.1, ATIV 500T (Win 8 Convertible). It's a basic "word processor for handwritten text", that is quick and keeps up with my stylus - no lag.

Pros: Free, fast, saves files in .xml format (so if you save the file your're using in your cloud-sync app of choice, I use Dropbox), then you'll be synced across devices, and can open, and for me, most importantly, edit, any file you've created in the app on any device.

Con: Doesn't allow typed input - handwritten only.

I also use OneNote 2013 for longer documents (it automatically syncs itself to Skydrive), although the Android app doesn't allow you to write directly "on" the page -- you input into an input box and the Note 8 converts your handrwriting into typed text.

And I also will use the native S-Note app for when I need to quickly jot something down, say notes from an incoming phone call.

I'm not affiliated with the creators of any of these apps, just a user.

HTH,

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] bigmout:
My work requires that I often take notes on the fly, and it's great never having to worry about keeping a pen and paper handy. My Note 8 is about the size of a steno pad, which is what I used to use for that purpose. It's small enough to be portable, but large enough that I can annotate PDFs, etc., especially in landscape. It comes with an okay program called S-Notes, which you can sync with your computer. But I prefer a third-party program called Lecture Notes, which is more customizable. You can also sync Lecture Notes with other devices via DropBox.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kisrita:
+1 for Lecture Notes.

I need Project based note books for my job. I used to have a separate paper notebook for every project which was a pain when I was working on multiple projects simultaneously and running between multiple meetings. First I switched from paper to an iPad, then from the iPad to Lecture Notes on the Note 8. I write in it in landscape, but read my notes in Portrait. I was able to import my iPad notes as PDF, and just continue in Lecture Notes. I find the size to be just right. The iPad size is necessary with a capacitive screen, but with the S Pen, 8 inch works just as well and it is more portable. I only wish it had better battery life and no screen freezing issues (does not freeze while taking notes, only in other apps or while using the keyboard, which is why I only use the Note 8 at work, almost exclusively for taking notes). But it still works better than anything else I've tried so far, and I've been trying everything from the early Palm days... When the next version is released next year I will most likely upgrade to that, assuming it will have higher resolution or better battery life.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lanwarrior:
Interesting combo! Questions:

1). From all the 3, WHICH ONE do you use the most for your main note taking apps that works well ACROSS the different platform?

2). Can you "scribble" on OneNote 2013 document? From the screenshot in Google Play, it seems you can.

3). I use a Mac and there is not OneNote 2013 native apps for OSX. However, I have been hearing about the FREE Web Office Apps from Microsoft (not Office 365), which comes with OneNote 2013. How does this work?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] crp62:
1) Of the 3, the Stylus Labs Write product is the one that works "best" across all platforms. You "scribble" on the note directly in all versions of the product. I save the files in Dropbox, so when I sync Dropbox, I can open a note I've just created (on my Note 8) on my desktop and it looks exactly the same.

I like OneNote 2013 for handwritten notes, but, and this is a big but: the Android version of the product does NOT allow you to write directly on a note: a text input box (2 lines) pops up and you input there. That's not the case for the desktop app - you write directly on the note. Not a dealkiller for me, but something to be aware of, since you have to purchase the desktop app.

2) As for "scribbling in OneNote 2013, see 1).

3) Sorry, I can't help you there, I don't use the Web Office Apps, so I don't know how that would work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] janjannsen99:
Use it all the time 20 pages or more on average. For school. Works great for me this thing eliminated carrying any type of notebook imagine touting around 4 notebooks a day for class. Saves my back from getting tired I have 95 notes right now arranged into various class specific albums, I also,carry a. Mobile printer in case I need hard copies of anything. Best device for me hands down the note 8 weighs like what one lb. And my printer it's about the same so my backpack Is light light. Thanks Samsung
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] brecklundin:
There are oodles of vids on YouTube using the various Note family of devices. Just name your app and there are vids on using it.

Here are a few vids from a user with a 10.1 using S-note but they still apply for any other GN device (all of her tips are using S-note):

[YouTube]yKYsYUNFFkg[/youtube]General Note Taking

[YouTube]MY1jgctLkMM[/youtube]Real time note taking in class

[YouTube]Zja4z9MJ3Qw[/youtube]LOTS of nice tips on S-note

Here is the demo video for Stylus Labs Write (which might become my fav overtime):

[YouTube]eWyxTKa2tZ0[/youtube]I really, really like this app. There are versions for several platforms plus the file format (HTML+SVG[vector graphics for your writing]) gives a nice degree of forward portability between apps. I have not tried altering the HTML then re-opening the file in Write. There are also threads for the app un. all of the GN forums here on XDA either started bythe developer or where he monitors to posts to support us users.

Then there is Lecture Notes which might have the most users of all, prolly more than the others combined. I like LN very much, however it is very customizable & hence can have a higher upfront learning curve. I suggest taking a very close look at it for the long term.

My recommendation to anyone new to taking notes with a stylus is use S-note and the other apps. This has a benefit of helping get a feel for the device. Then when you start to see features absent from S-note you are in a better position to evaluate other apps. But no matter what try several to learn which fit your style of note taking.

Have fun & good luck!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lanwarrior:
The bad thing with S-Notes is that a shape that has been automatically converted using the shape tool can no longer be moved within the note.

Makes using this feature useless.

I DO, however, really like the smooth writing in S-Notes.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] ExploreMN:
I do all the time nearly every day. I mostly use S-note, but Write is gaining my attention more and more.

MIUI install results

Hi there, I have installed the MIUI as per instructions.

Great work, haven't tried MIUI since 2011.

1. I am getting a "Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped." persistent notification.

2. I have also run into the same wifi issue I have had with CM, in that I cannot connect to my office access point. I can only connect to it when running stock rom. FYI, my other Q (running stock) is connected to the AP, I know it is not an AP wifi setting error.

This is clearly a CM wifi incompatibility that has carried over into the MIUI build. Without a connection to this AP (via CM or MIUI), I have not much use for a modified rom. There must be some frequency/channel mismatch???

I will persist with stock rom on my other handset until there is a solution to the wifi connection, but I have no MMS send capability (only receive) with stock. Does someone know how to fix the MMS send with stock?

Thanks

P.S.

Every

other

mobile phone & device I have connects to my AP just fine.

You could try buying it from B&H Photo Video in new york, they don't charge shipping or tax to California.

If the person you are shipping it to is someone you know well, you might want to ask them to check the unit out before sending it to you and make sure there aren't any issues with the screen, unless you're able to or willing to ship it back if something is wrong.
