[Nokia Lumia 920] Macca1980:
Hi I returned my lumia, it was freezing up & giving me black screens & proved a bit of a bother to switch on and off. It was brand new as well, the battery was a killer too. was 100% at 10:30am, by 2pm it was out & I had only taken a few photos & it was in pocket rest of day.

I did have it set to best quality wifi & had updated to amber but it was only saving really low res photos to my skydrive.

I really wanted to keep it but a brand new phone having problems like that after 1 day isn't too good. I haven't had much luck with my phone recently so I have bought a cheaper HTC ONE X, hope that goes well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stignorway:
Hi i want to share my experience so here it is.

i bought this battery from ebay:

make a search for "2450mAh Gold High Capacity Battery For AT&T Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket SGH-i727" att ebay

I was worryed when i read here on xda that some foreign battery sellers just say that there battery is high capacity

and put a sticker on low capacity battery's and sell them as High capacity battery's.

but i had then bought this battery and after testing this battery fore some days now, and it give me around 5 to 6 hour

more than the 1800mAh battery that comes whit the phone. (normal use of the phone)

and it do fit in the phone no extra back cower needed . that is a pluss... if you ask me..

and there is also an app on the Google play store called "Deep sleep battery saver"

that gives me around 1 to 2 hours more .

read more about it here.

If you are like me and can not get the battery to last the hole day thees 2 things will help you .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kiedlywiedis:
That looks sketchy as hell. :-/ I'd be afraid to put that in my phone..

I got the Verizon Galaxy Nexus Extended 2100 mAh battery from Amazon for 9 bucks, and now it's on sale for 5 bucks.. After a little trimming and peeling back the sticker, it fits without a new back and there's only a slight bulge, and the case I had still fits around it nicely too. I'm definitely seeing an improvement, at least getting an extra two or three hours out of it.

My tips to longer battery life are pretty simple.

Without apps: keep your gps off when you're not using an app that requires it, period. Use auto brightness or keep your brightness at dim as possible that doesn't irritate you. Use dark theme for apps that support it. Disable data when in weak signal zones.

Alternatively you could use a data manager app which does all this. 3G manager - battery saver is decent. It has a blue icon and is only 9 9 cents. There are adequate settings for the cost. If you're a do it yourself kind of guy tasker is pretty cool. Personally I use tasker as it offers me more than just battery saving. For me it handles volumes for certain calendar entries, toggles bluetooth on and off when I need it, auto launches and kills screen dimmer during sleep time when I turn on my phone to check the time. However, there are some functions that seem slightly broke that leaves me pondering the price but overall it's good.

Keep in mind if your battery weak the only thing you can really do to save battery is to reduce unnecessary phone activity as much as you can. My skyrockets battery is toast but only drains about 65% in a day of a work+night. Day off, different story, not so good.

Hate to be a buzz kill folks, but discuss battery saving tips or use the accessories thread for actual battery discussion.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jshamlet:
I spent a long time optimizing the crap out of my skyrocket. I disabled half the OS, and turned off wake-locks for much of the rest. I got it to the point where the phone was sleeping like a baby.

Then I would actually use it, and watch the battery meter drop like a stone. I have gotten used to basically being tethered to a charger when using it for anything other than basic stuff. It's what finally convinced me to make the leap to my current phone. Otherwise, I still love my skyrocket. It has been one heck of a device.

I will say that disabling wake locks for Google Play Services made a huge difference, though. They set the timers way to intense on that.

have a search through it and see what you can do
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PTGamer:
i've changed the values in the frequency table (the highest frequency i tried to compile was CPU @ 1.1GHz and GPU @ 350mhz or 400Mhz i can remember it was around +50MHz then the stock frequency , go slow, too high values can be very dangerous) on the kernel sources but i had some truble compiling the kernel and even if i compiled the kernel the network drivers wouldnt work...(see the instructions on how to compile and how to fix the drivers in the kernel sources From SAMSUNG).

anyway i discontinued my work due to a certain "comment" i didnt like and i have no intention of start developing a public release.

Good Luck ;)

I saw quite a few topics comparing consumption with various kernels, setups, roms. But most of those are done by one person using one phone with different setup. Even if there would be variety of people, the information would be lost in discussions. Here I want you to post structured informations about your achievements in battery usage. Please post in following structure:

1. Battery life hours;

2. Screen on time hours;

3. Battery type;

4. Rom

5. Kernel

6. Screenshots to prove 1 and 3

7. Special notes, like consumption in offscreen time, and during screen on or some special undervolting or anything else.

My desire to see world records in battery life discipline.

My personal records were done on gingerbread rom with don't remember what kernel and conditions but believe it was tegracs kernel.

Screenshots attached:

test conditions

For a reliable test all must have the same apps and power mangment values.

Too many variables will lead to no conclusion. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
To make it simpler, my idea was not testing but rather boasting about best results, records, Guinness book for i9100 stock hardware.
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
I can boast!

I just hit a new record. I'm on the Bell (Canadian Phone Company) official 4.1.2. I use greenify to hibernate things like facebook and keep them from running the background. I used titanium backup to disable a host of system programs that I don't use/need. I also have setCPU running at its default settings.

Last week I made it to 7d 54m 24s

I forgot to look how much screen time I used but it made up 25% of my power consumption. When I'm at home or at work I have access to a PC so I only use the phone for texting, checking the odd email etc....

If I'm out of town I might get 2 days on it. My average is 4-5 days. I must not have used it too much last week.

I also have an Anker battery in it (as my originals charge time started to decrease). It seems to do rather well (maybe even slightly better than the stock battery).
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
Good job! I hope next time you will record scree time. And post some screeshots.
[Galaxy S II General] Prashanthme:
U dint attach the Main battery screen which indicates how many times u have charged. 7 hrs is believable. But 11 hrs!!

Pls provide the screenshots of those..
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
I didn't save the main screen, I think those shots were made about 3 years ago. And you just have to trust me that that 11 hours were true. BUT there's one trick here. My phone had an issue at that time, it couldn't go to sleep. I put it by my bed and closed flipper over the screen. When I woke up, I picked up the phone and noticed that screen was just a little darkened but not off. I looked at screen time and was shocked, made that screen... The rest you know. :) so, you right that this result is out of range.
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
Here's my 7hour+ screenshot.. sorry I didn't screen shot the screens that go into more detail:
[Galaxy S II General] brack11:
Unfortunately screen is not clear, do you mean screen time is 7+? Can you mention rom etc.?

I went 7 days before I had to charge it. There's no way that was 7 days of screen time.. lol. Maybe a few hours of screen time in there. If you click on the thumbnail it will go to imagebam and make it bigger.

I never thought to screenshot the detailed screen page where it says the hours you used. I just took that snapshot because I'd never made it to 7 days before (even though I rode it all the way down to 1% power). I also use an Anker battery in it, which seems to give it a smidge more power (even though the physical battery is the same size as a stock battery).

Did you get 2000ma as stock battery? Is it some different from international model?
[Galaxy S II General] Zod5000:
I used to do pretty good on stock ICS 4.0.4 roms. They never released 4.0.4 in Canada so I think I used a rom from the UK. It was really light on battery consumption. Way better than gingerbread, 4.0.3 or 4.1.2.

The only downside was wiping the phone with 4.0.4 using certain programs would brick the phone so I think alot of people avoid the 4.0.4 roms (and probably why the didn't finish spreading globally).

[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Wow - you're in a difficult situation...

You being on stock I can only imagine the bootloop is caused by something you installed.

So if you can access settings and are able to uninstall apps, just keep doing it until you are back to the original stock setup.

Are you sure the files you are trying to save are still on the SD card? Don't know how you flashed 10.6.1.14.8, but flashing a complete firmware package ususally erases /data - although your persisiting bootloop indicates it didn't...... if the bootloop is caused by an app. And I can't imagine what else would cause it.

You could try to do a factory reset in Backup&Restore but you will loose the contents of your /data partition...

You can flash the 10.6.1.14.10 firmware file, but most likely you will also loose your data.

The only way I can think of to replace your bootloader and firmware without data loss is if you try to find a copy of the 10.6.1.14.10 dlpkgfile. That is the OTA update file Asus pushes out to users. It's a patch file, meaning it only replaces/updates new files and leaves everything else alone.

If you find the dlpkgfile on some forum you would have to place it into your /cache directory and reboot - and I don't know if you can copy it to your tablet before it bootloops again.

Unfortunately the reason for your bootloop is probably an app on the same partiton with the data you don't want to loose. Unless you manage to uninstall the culprit I don't see much hope....

Good luck!

Try getting adb access, this should allow us to diagnose the problem you are experiencing.

Tablet side: go to settings, developer options (if it is not visible, tap the build number 7 times), enable USB debugging

Computer side: no idea, they say Windows 8 is a bit tricky to get the drivers installed correctly.

When you have adb running, do "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and post the downloaded file - it should contain valuable info about your reboots.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
He's bootlooping..... How does he go into settings and turn on USB debugging? :p

I think the best option maybe to flash a stock Asus ROM from their site but that will wipe all data including those photos......
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I have not use this method but you could try.

You need a boot OS tool on your external sd and run it from your external sd so you can access to your internal sd to copy files from there. You can search on the internet and you should find more information on how to use them depending on what boot os you are using.. Good luck.

[Asus Transformer TF700] zanadoo22:
I was actually able to get usb debugging turned on. It took me quite a few tries, but I did it!

I've never used adb, but here's what I've done so far.. I downloaded the Android SDK and ASUS Pad PC Suite (which contains Asus Sync).

I was able to use the command prompt to navigate to the platform-tools folder and open adb, however when I type in adb devices, it doesn't recognize my device. What steps to do I take from here to be able to use adb to see my device, so I can pull the file to diagnose what's going on? How do I know if I have the right drivers installed so my computer can see my tablet? All I did was install the asus suite. Do I need to do anything further on that end?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
What Windows version do you have on your PC?

You can check your drivers in Device Manager. Open it, look for your tablet under Portable Devices and check if the driver has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. You should be able to update/install/uninstall the driver from here.

Try to find out if there is a setting in your Windows version to only allow Microsoft signed drivers and disable it.

The of suite doesn't now show the latest version however when going to Sony's website it's listed but unavailable to download.

My question is can the phone someone be manually flashed without losing the DRM features or perhaps be forced to download the software from an alterative source.

Think the version I am looking for is 10.3.1.A.2.67 for the 6603 model.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Ilko:
what's wrong with yours ?
[Sony Xperia ZR] ming0070913:
I brought my ZR with my friend and he brought the SP together. SP is good for who want a cheaper price, not targeting for a better camera. For SP, you can set the notification LED colors for different apps but ZR cannot. If you think the prize for ZR is reasonable, and you want better battery experience, quad cpu, waterproof phone, replaceable battery, then ZR is a good choice. SP seems a little heavier as it uses metal case I think. One more major difference is that ZR has cover for micro usb and headset plug. It's a little inconvenient but some will take those covers as a plus as they can protect the phone from dust. Also ZR is obviously smoother in my point of view.

All in all, if you don't think price is a major problem and the function of the phone is important to you, then I think ZR is your choice.

yeah, the SP has aluminium parts, even the power button is made with alu.
