[Nexus 7 (2013) General] noxxle:
It is not uncommon for reviewers to note the % brightness for any given bench. Many test web browsing at 50%, which should be around 300 nits. At this level, most reviewers report roughly 7 hours. Do you think lowering the brightness a mere 100 nits will result in 5 more hours of browsing? Not likely.

In the following review, less than 7 hours of web browsing was achieved with brightness set at 150 nits. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Google-Nexus-7-16-GB-2013-Tablet.98299.0.html

I understand that test methodology varies among reviewers. But Anand's is wildly different from EVERY other review. Something is off with their testing in this case.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
Interesting, I don't think Anandtech would rig their reviews to purposely produce false results, but that 150 nits web browsing battery life time seem absurdly low. If you have a such a strong opinion, why not go to their website and question them?(if you haven't done so already)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] noxxle:
I don't think it is fair to characterize what I'm saying as a "strong opinion." I am simply perplexed at how Anand's results are inconsistent with not one or two, but EVERY other review. Nobody is getting 12 hours of web browsing at any brightness.

I don't think Anand "rigged" anything. I just think something is off with their test. Perhaps user error, or a stat counter erroneously reported something.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] albundy2010:
Because WiFi web browsing testing is just a blanket term.

Oh all the reviewers who test it....and how did they run their tests? What methods did they use and so on.

Anand runs the same exact text across all the devices. If you follow them at all they have explained what their test are designed to test. From the types of pages it loads to how frequently and so on.

Frankly most other reviewers in mobile just suck at doing of any type of useful testing period.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] noxxle:
Yeah, but Anand's stats for all the non-n7 tablets are consistent with most other sites. It is only the n7 2013 that shows nearly DOUBLE what others are reporting.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OJ in Compton:
I agree with the latter statement, and admittedly I like that the anandtech staff do try to go a bit deep and get quantifiable results when conducting their tests, but lately when I look at their battery tests on devices I'm simply confused. None of the devices I've used match up to the kind of results their battery tests for the same device arrive at. In that respect, I'm not sure they qualify as "useful testing" :(

Wish I got my N7 from the same batch as the one they tested, because there is no way I can get 10 hours of screen on time with the current build of 4.3.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] muyoso:
I've gotten 12 hours of screen on time with 40% remaining. The tablet is capable of being ridiculously efficient with regards to battery life. If you are just reading some ebooks and browsing websites and the display is at a low brightness level, it can last forever.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] albundy2010:
You don't use your device under the same conditions as their tests.

The test are not done to show you what YOU will get during your usage. It shows how all the devices tested fair in the same exact test. A test that they explain what its doing and why they are doing it.

Some things are far easier and simple to test. Thats why those results will be similar.

This is nothing new. Look at the results for a completely different device like the iPhone for example. Then look around and see what users of devices report as their battery life for the task. It will be different. Different web pages. How many and how often you load the pages. The load you put in the WiFi radio and soc all will give you different results.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] noxxle:
ok so let me get this straight. If 99.9% of reviews bench a tablet as capable of 7-8 hours of battery life with brightness set at varied levels, but generally between 150-200 nits, but Antendtech reports 12 hours at 200 nits, then every other bench must be inaccurate. Ok, gotcha. By all means, continue believing that you are getting 12 hours of screen-on usage. :silly:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] albundy2010:
You just don't get it.

They are doing different tests. Its not the same test.

I am not expecting to get 12hrs of screen on time since I don't use my device that way.

But I have got the same amount of screen on time as all the clueless reviewers using my device for stuff that are more battery taxing than "WiFi browsing". Netflix + YouTube+ candy crush + tune in radio while using tapatalk and other little things. So using the device as described by anands WiFi browsing test I have no doubt it will be closer to the 12 hrs they got then the 7 the mobile blogs are reporting.

Stop being lazy and look into ( if they even disclose it) how all the other sites perform their test and compare it to what anand does.

Or go over to their post on their site and challenge anand on the testing method and results and see how that goes.

Edit. lets add in some results for smartphones for the same test. The nexus 4 =5.93 hrs. The iphone 5= 10.27 The htc one x = 9.93 The HTC one = 7.8 and so on.

Do you see these same results for the other review sites? NO. Why? Because they are not doing the same test. Comparing their ( anands) test to who knows what the others is doing is just wrong.

Ill even pull in stuff directly from one of the reviews you sited in your defense,

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Google-Nexus-7-16-GB-2013-Tablet.98299.0.html

With no apps running while sitting idly on the home screen, the new Nexus was able to last for over 44 hours

The large discrepancy between idling and WLAN runtimes means users can get away without charging the tablet for a few extra days longer. More conservative brightness and system settings will also net much more battery life this time around.

There you have it. So a test like anands that is not loading webpages as often and letting the wifi radio idle more will clearly get better battery results then what they ran
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] rxnelson:
This. I had about 50% left with 7 hours screen time. I was just reading/listening to old articles in pocket with screen timeout set to 10 minutes. I was pleasantly surprised.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] muyoso:
You are talking out your ass. No reviews test at 150-200 nits. The verge for example does 65%, which if brightness linearly scaled on the Nexus 7 would be 379 nits, almost double what anandtech tested at. Again if brightness linearly scales, anandtech was testing at around 34% brightness.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] A0A:
Yeah I can completely believe getting insane battery life at lower screen brightness

UPDATED POST

1. So how many Developers got the One and got it unlocked?

2. How many users got unlocked?

I thought it would be helpful (maybe) for developers to know what they were working with. It really sucks that maybe 25-100 people actually got Dev unlocked before VZW slammed the door. I was hoping for (and still am) a strong Dev community after coming from the (weak) GS4. Keep hope alive.

(I thought I would edit my original post instead of just starting a new thread)

I am assuming there are some recognized developers that have unlocked that probably have better things to do than chime in here. But if you are a Recognized Developer and get a chance to "officially" let us know you were able to unlock that would be great.

ORIGINAL POST

I have been out of the HTC seen for a long time. I bought the Thunderbolt. Nuf said. I had the Gnex - loved it. Accept of course for "dat battery life". I upgraded to the GS4 and hate it because like a moron I took the update that locked the Bootloader down. Now I can't flash any roms. So - I see that HTC Dev is unlocking the One and I am thinking about getting one One.

Do you guys think there'll be a strong developer community for the VZW One? Not really interested in it of there are not a couple of great developers picking one up and doing some good stuff with it.

Thanks for any input.

How add file cab to ROM? :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] TomasNM:
?

What did you mean? Did you mean to add a cab file to ExtendedROM? There are 2 versions:

1.Unhide and unlock the ExtROM(using the ExtROM unlock tools) and reset your device. The Extended_ROM folder appears and is ready to transfer any files in both directions(while not unlocked-read only). Well this access is not working on my device-don't know why,cause in all materials it stands,that's possible.

2.Using the ER2003Edit tool in a PC and upgrade Extended ROM via bootloader(including hard-reset).

Hello Friends!!

I think we should agree whole community together Xperia Play .. and sign or orders, for Sony to Launch a Xperia Play 2.

And convince them to not be a (PS Vita Killer) and that would be two completely different things,

The excuse for not launching a successor to the Xperia Play now , because if they would not lose sales of the PS Vita (no sense)

Since they are two totally different things A Smartphone with android. And a game console (with games made ​​specifically for her)

there any way to do a page, or is there a page where we can gather signatures for this order??

I for my part, I send an email to Sony From Brazil team, and they said, it is a kind request, and that he would inform the team to take it into account ..

I hope we can do this, because for us (the Xperia Play gamer)

there will be nothing else to replace it (not even Nvidia Shield, or The console JXD) or anything like that .. because what many want is a smartphone-console (not a console android)

And we need a device that meets the future needs:

OpenGL 3.0 support (for future Android games or emulators, example: Dolphin (Gamecube Emulator)

Something With smartphones specifications pointers yet to come would be great:

CPU: 2.3 Ghz Snapdragon 800 (Quad-Core)

GPU: Adreno 330 (which has support for OpenGL 3.0)

Ram: 2 GB

Iintera Memory: 16 GB (or 32 GB)

Display: 5 Inch (Full HD)

Camera: 13 Megapixel

Android 4.3

(And more importantly, Dual Analog Physical., And if possible, the integration of (L2-R2 - L3 - R3)

Something So at a price of 600 or 650 dollars, there would be nothing wrong, you are saying?

I hope I can help, appreciate your answers.

Greetings. :)

And 3DS killed it.

I support this 100%! but theres no way Sony will do this.

We have been asking and signing stuff for ages now and no response.. they just dont want to bury the Vita anymore (if thats possible *cough*)

Something Like the PSPGO I would be happy about, similar to the xplay with the analogue nubbings..

Replace the start and select buttons with another analogue nubbings and move start and select in the above middle section and a menu button on the bottom left of the dpad with a screenshot or whatever button on the bottom right on the face buttons.. boom phone lol

I have read that Sony will be releasing a package for $499 where its a vita and a ps4 together. Not as a holiday bundle but as a permanent bundle. So you can buy the ps4 or you can buy the bundle.

Come on Sony the vita is dead. Get over it. I asked a gamestop rep at two locations if/ when the last time someone bought a vita. One store said for him over a month. The other said he had sewn people trading it in. Couple this with the fact radioshack is permanently discontinuing both PSP models for $199.
