[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] power86:
Hey guys,

I've been lurking in the forums for the past year and lately I've noticed that my battery has been crapping out. I'm running CM 10.1-20130807-NIGHTLY-i777 (I update it once a month), i777UCLE5, with CWM 6.0.3.5.

With the stock battery I get just about 1.5 - 2 hours of active usage. If I listen to music on it for 45 minutes, the battery drains over 30%. This is with JuiceDefender on.

I invested in two Anker batteries which worked for about 2-5 months then started locking up my phone. When I rebooted, battery went from 98% to 13%. Happened to one of my two batteries in month 2, and the second battery crapped out in month 5. Then I got a so called "stock battery" from eBay -- had the same model # and everything but didn't have NFC on it. Crashes my phone and drains the battery instantly too.

I'm wondering -- is there any way I can make these after market batteries work with my phone? I'm guessing it has something to do with not having NFC. They probably have much better life than my stock battery but I just can't make use of them.

Any tips appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
You need to search for the free xda version of Better Battery Stats so that you can take a more detailed look at what is causing your battery to drain.

You can find some great information by reading this thread.

You likely have something (or perhaps more than 1 thing) holding a wakelock that is not allowing the phone to get into a deep sleep and conserve battery power.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] power86:
Thanks for the tip. I will try that out over the weekend.

Any advice to make non OEM batteries work with the i777?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AJ Newkirk:
You can use replacement batteries, but they will render NFC useless. Only OEM i777 batteries have the necessary equipment to make NFC work.

You may want to do a search in the Accessories forum here and see what people recommend.

Hi guys.. I know B&H is legit, but has anyone here ordered from them shipped to California? Im getting the 32gb one and they're going for retail with free shipping and no tax shipped to california. I would just like to know your experience in buying from them.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jhom52:
B&H is a well-known and recognized internet retailer. They ship almost everywhere. I have purchased thousands of dollars of professional camera equipment from them without any problems. I would have no hesitancy buying anything from them and having it shipped to my location. It is a no brainer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] juanito05:
thanks for this.. im not hesitating though, just wanted to hear the experiences of people who have purchased the N7 2013 from them. I think retail plus no tax shipped free to Cali is too good of a deal to pass. will probably order this weekend.

Hi everyone!

I just have one question, is it possible to reinstall the offcial HTC Sense ROM for my HTC One X?

The thing is that last month I almost brick my HOX, you guys helped me to recover it, but I did not get any back up for the original ROM, can I reinstall it? Cuz I've been looking for the official ROM online without result. Mine is EVITA.

I'd appreciate your answers!

Thanks! :D
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Firstly, this should have been posted in the q&a section. I'll ask for it to be moved.

You can find stock ROMs in the Android Development section.

If you want to go fully stock (ROM and recovery, no root) you can run an RUU.

Hey all I was wondering if anybody has found a unlock method that works? Att wont budge on a unlock code. Ive tried the service menu method. But I am a bit leary as to threads ive read as to devices becoming unusable after this method. And also options 4 and 5 in the network unlock category dont show up. I have also read that you can flash a rom that has an older firmware. Im running 4.1.2

Thnks fir any feedback.. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok if you know about the hidden. Then all you need to do is flash a different modem, first released would work good! J2

It's been confirmed that it works!

Put in a different sim reboot hit dissmis use the hidden? Can I the do a restore back to 4.1.2?? And keep my unlock??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Ok your just flashing the MODEM. Then after you perform the unlock. Then put a different SIM in, if it don't ask for a unlock code you're unlocked! Permanently!!:thumbup: Then You can flash back to the newest modem..

Found in the one stop thread, it's the MC3 modem...

Make sure first thing you do is make a back of of your existing Rom system set up. It's always good to have good back up of your system! FYI

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] obperryo:
Have new Sprint HTC One and when first using it out of the box, battery life seemed to be real good.

Mods I have made.. Unlocked and am running OMJ's custom ROM.

Here is what I am questioning now.. (my 14 days are almost up):

I leave it charge all night and first thing in the morning, I use it for 15-20 minutes catching up on mail, facebook and news. I am connected to wifi in the home. What I am experiencing is a 6% battery drain from this pretty consistently and display on auto brightness in a dark room in the morning. Last night I set power saver to including cpu, diaplay and data connection. I had the display set dimmer than normal/what the auto brightness would be. I experienced the same 6% drop this morning.

I am not sure what to think, its kind of disconcerting to think you wack 6% of battery before the first cup of coffee.

I have no data, but am wondering if anyone has see lesser batter just from unlocking?

OMJ's ROM is pretty stock, so I would not think that is causing any issues.

I am looking to see what others are experiencing from there initial 15-20 minute usage.

I am open to any input that could help me conclude that there is not an issue with the phone so I can stop worrying about meeting the 14 day return deadline.

Edit: Adding images and info to attempt to create a baseline for others to compare to. Images are from GSam Battery Monitor available in the market.

The images show 30 minutes of use after unplugging from a full charge, Power Saver off, Brightness set to Dim and using WiFi. Screen using 18% and Apps using 75%... you can also see the specific apps being used.

It would be great if others could mimic and provide their results. This would allow us all to have something to compare to.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cloppy:
it could just be the battery technology. i know with some laptops here at work they dont really "fully charge" the battery to increase the battery life span. so this could be a normal thing. For me personally im more concerned about the phone lasting atleast through the whole day before i have to charge it.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Get battery calibration from the play store.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] madwakisbak:
Yea I mean I'm not sure how much you use your phone a day but I'm seeing consistently approx 4-4.5 hrs of screen on time a day. Unplug the phone at 7am and plug it in when I got to bed usually around 11pm. Some days if I'm watching a lot of video or playing games I'll have to plug it in around 8pm or so but that isn't too often
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] obperryo:
Anyone want to do a small comparison test?

Set brightness to auto, charge to 100% and then use for 15 minutes checking mail, Facebook, web surfing, or whatever (simple activity, not gaming), in normal ambient room lighting, using WiFi, Power Saver off. Then report your battery level after the 15 min.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
I would lose around 10% from that. I think.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
You should calibrate your battery any time you flash a new Rom, so why not try the app I suggested?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] obperryo:
Oh, I am all over that. Did the calibration yesterday. I have not noticed a significant difference, but I do agree this is a needed step. Especially when changing between significantly different ROMs. Thanks for pointing it out.

What I am really looking for from others are some comparison results. I have created some pictures this morning and will be adding them to my post, in an attempt to create a baseline that others can use to do the exact same and provide a result. This should allow others and myself to see if there is any significant difference between our devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] obperryo:
I edited my post with baseline settings and images.

Would be great if others could mimic and post results.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Hehe Sorry when I read my post it seems kind of snappy and nothing about your reply led me to this conclusion. I understand your looking for a comparison and I think its safe to say I easily use 5-10% of my battery life first thing when I get up and check all of my stuff.

No problem. I appreciate your input.

Does anybody know if limiting background processes to zero will help battery life? My phone had 1hr 20min awake times with 12 mins screentime/usage after 8-9 hours.

This was with absolutely no power saving at all, whatsoever. Phone was around 75% after those 9 hrs I believe, with kernel taking 33%, and radio taking ~15. Fresh after factory reset. Only apps were Email, Doodlejump, GSAM, ES, Keep and Swiftkey.

Tomorrow I will turn off auto sync, limit background processes, and turn on power saver/sleep mode. Let's see how much that helps.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo89:
Just picked up this phone and I love it. On stock 4.1.2 I have charging issues where the phone will only charge with a very good charger capable of putting out >1A and a beefier cable.

Which rules out charging from computer and some shoddier chargers. This is a deal breaker for me.

I will go ahead with rooting and upgrading OS to custom, if someone can verify that this will be a non issue after completing that? Thanks.

Edit: further when streaming netflix and charging, the chargers can't keep up with about 30% screen brightness. Will also be resolved?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:

Well for the second point I'm even using a 2A charger and and its charged 3% in 2 hours, with netflix, which seems more like a software issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richy99:

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingvortex:
I also am struggling to find a decent cable to charge my phone with.

The supplied cable charges it very quickly, but is a little too short to comfortably use the phone while it's charging.

I have purchased a couple of longer cables that seem to be of decent quality (24 awg), but the time to charge the phone fully increases dramatically when using them.

This is all when using the supplied charger.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo89:
Tried the reboot, still the same issue. I think I've realized the problem and it looks like software.

I have a kill-a-watt meter. With screen on, and netflix streaming, for some reason its only drawing 3.3W. @ 5V this is only .66A. Clearly too low to charge with. However when I turn the screen off, after a few seconds draw goes to 8.2W, ~1.6A. Now I'm not concerned with staying on the stock OS, however do people still have trouble with this on custom OS?

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesy_92:
I have a brand new Ouya, running completely stock - not rooted or anything - and have sideloaded some emulators (YongZH stuff mostly) onto my Ouya. The ones I have tried work fine - with the exception of Gensoid 2.4.3 (the apk that I got from SlideME before YongZH pulled everything except N64oid)

If I go to a file browser, and install the apk and open it from the install screen, it opens fine. If I open a Sega Genesis .bin file using Gensoid, it opens fine. If I try to open it from the launcher - it closes as soon as it pops up.

Even deleting app data doesn't fix this.

I have done a factory reset, and reinstalled my apk files - still have the issue. Since the emulator runs fine, I can not figure it out, and think I may have a bad RAM sector, or it may be an issue with the Ouya launcher. Since the emulator does run, though, and I reinstalled the APK files in a different order, so I highly doubt it is stored in the same place in RAM, I can not figure out why it won't open.

Is anyone else having this issue? What could it be, and is there a fix?

Guys. Stop telling him it´s the battery. If it were the battery the draining would be already that fast before flashing CM10.1, but not just after.

A bloated and aged battery can of course be the reason, but this doesn´t have to be always the case. My stock Samsung battery is already 2 years old but working like new. However I have to admit that I don´t use it that often. Having here 3 batteries I´m changing them regulary every few months.

This draining will be more related to the LCD version in his phone, which he should read about and check before flashing a CM10.1 based rom. Additionally the recent Google updates can cause even more battery drain than the LCD Rev.3 issue alone, which has to be taken also into account.

However, once I installed the recovery software (CWM Touch flashed via GS3 Toolkit), I wasn't able to access the internal or external memory via recovery mode. According to TWRP, when I attempted that as a fall back, the internal memory is encrypted. But I didn't encrypt it, so I have no password to decrypt it with. With CWM it reads:
