[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Its normal mate! :D

If you want more than that, buy an extended battery. Or you could try a new battery, but I doubt if you will get significantly more juice than what you get now. :)

The title says it all, lately I have been having battery problems. I have removed most of the apps I had, been using deep sleep, and I kill all running tasks. I think its my ROM.

I am running Pacman 4.3
[AT&T LG Optimus G] blenkows:
There are WAY too many factors at play when it comes to battery life to really narrow it down to a "best ROM". Keep your screen dark, turn off location services and data when not using them, avoid poor wifi connections in settings, set screen timeout to shortest possible, etc...

Do your best at minimizing battery loss. Keep in mind, this is a small computer. It WILL suck a lot of battery. There is no magic app to give you days of use. The ROM you run really won't make much of a difference. It's the services and how you maintain your battery that will.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] OMGMatrix:
In my experience, Houstonn's 4.3 PA and stock 4.4 builds have been the lightest on battery.

Though, At this time, Any 4.4 is good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Digil:
I second the fact that houstonn's 4.4 AOSP build is the best battery performance I've seen.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Have you tried using greenify or better battery stats?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] phoenix_rizzen:
The two biggest battery consumers are the screen and the data radios. Anything you can do to decrease y the battery usage of those two will give you the best battery life.

To that end, an app like JuiceDefender configured to manage the days radios can go a long way to extending battery life.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ZachIsLegend:
I flashed SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 1.6 WEEKLY and the battery has been outstanding. I use JuiceDefender Ultimate and lower screen brightness along with limited connectivity when the screen is off. Unplugged for 8 hrs and used for at least 4 today. I'm still over 70%!

I haven't had any bugs, random reboots, or force closes.. SlimKat is a great build thus far!

Just finished creating my first app for Android called Shark Mask. It's a utility that lets you run DNSMasq on your phone to serve as a dns caching server, which lets you select DNS servers, block unwanted address and select a DNS server per address. I've tested that last part to use pandora outside of the States via Tunlr and it worked great. The works on phones and tablets and has binaries for DNSMasq to work on intel, mips and arm based devices. The only major requirement is the device be rooted.

Looking for other ideas for the app and places to promote it on. I've got it on Google Play so far and looking at placing it on Amazon as well.

Here's the Google Play Link, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draekko.sharkmasq

hello guys,

i'm thinking to buy this tablet, now i got ipad 3...

what is your opinion about this tablet after a good use? is battery comparable to the ipad one?

there is any know great problem?

thx a lot
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] punkmilitia:
I did a comparison on this tab vs ipad 4 and it performs twice as good and less laggy. Also has lower frame drops across the bosrd which is a bonus. App store isnt quite as good, but definitly a supperioir tablet. I get ab8ut 2 hours exfra battery life over the ipad 4 with mynormal usage. Some people say they get less or equal - it all comes down to what you do on it. This was a very nice upgrade over the 4 and is better than my iphone 5s too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
They both have strengths and weaknesses.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
I think the samsung is fine on battery life. It will last you the day easy on heavy use. Especially if you root and remove bloatware . I think if a tab lasts the day on heavy use there's not much to complain about as you can just charge over night
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] BarryH_GEG:
It does "OK" on battery life. Both my N3 and N10.1-14 get worse battery life than the N2 and N10.1-12 they replaced. It's to be expected as both have double the pixel count of their predecessors. The batteries on both are larger but don't compensate for the higher PPI displays and additional features. Speaking of which, I like the additional features so accept the battery life consequences. Depending on your definition of "bloatware" a de-bloated N10.1-14 with its functionality removed is pretty comparable feature-wise to an iPad. I agree though that you can make it through a day pretty easily on a charge.

My biggest ***** is that it takes forever to charge; especially when the S-800 N3 is one of the fastest charging devices on the planet. Using a standard micro-USB port for charging is great for compatibility but the 30-pin charger made a huge difference in charging time. The battery in the N10.1-14 is 15% larger than the N10.1-12 but takes 30% longer to charge. I bet the LTE (S-800) N10.1-14 does better because of Qualcomm's QuickCharge feature.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] reubenskelly1992:
It does the a while but if it's done overnight it's ok, mine from about 10 percent takes 4 hours. In bloatware I mean useless things that take resources, samsung hub, apps, push service, chat on, my magazine. It doesn't reduce any features what so ever, it actually enhance s it, the battery lasts longer it's smoother and you can select any or all apps to be MW and pen window compatible

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Albertotuchi:
I have P605 with S800 and et takes 4 hours to charge starting on 5 % battery left. But I agree that the battery life is at least 1 hour screen use less than the 2012 model. But this is now, lets see with future ROM optimizations even stock ones. I am sure battery life will improve. The same happent with 2012.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RECKOR:
Hi there,

Hope this message finds you well.

I need a help with my problem. A little of what happened might be useful for you.

1) I have a S3 I9300 bought in Brazil with TIM carrier but unlocked from factory. I could use any other carrier if I would like to.

2) After 1 year I decided to root it using the common way without any issue. It was working properly for more than 6 months until last week when it started freezing when I turned on Internet via WiFi or 3G. I thought it was some apps so I tried to uninstall them. It didn't work. So I wanted to start over and try something different. I thought about FoxHound ROM.

3) I had Philz (latest version 6.0...), downloaded FoxHound 1.0 with 4.3 firmware and installed it using the basic instructions: wipe data, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik cache and install FoxHound from sdcard zipped. Everything went good without any installation issues.

4) Then I understood that my baseband/IMEI were null and my simcard not recognized. I did some reading and found out that this issue could happen and one way in dealing with it was recovering EFS (img or tar).

5) I did some months ago an EFS image using the KTOOL app. That time I tested it and I didn't get any wrong message.

6) Therefore I installed again KTOOL and used the option "Restore EFS from sdcard". I got a successful procedure but when I rebooted I was still without connection (baseband, IMEI all null).

7) Then I read that I should try another option from KTOLL called "Dump current Kernel". I did it and now I cannot use my cellphone anymore.

It is rebooting all the time and I cannot even access Philz (or CWM) anymore. The only thing I can do is to put into "Downloading" mode.

I don't want to make any more mistakes so I kindly request a help from you.

What should I do now to turn my phone on again working properly?

Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate any help.

the easiest way is basically 2 steps and 2 folders

After your phone has rebooted then plug your phone into your computer again

step 2 run: CWM4XperiaT_v8i_JB which i have named it to (file 2)

you should now have a rooted xperia t with a custom recovery menu

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] OctaviusMaximus:
Hey guys,

I was thinking of getting the HTC One and had a couple of questions,

1) Can you fully root, unlock bootloader, s-off and everything a new HTC One, if I just bought one from the store today, or a week from now or maybe in January? The reason I ask is is if there is an impending update that you guys know about and the fact that if you got the earlier Droid DNAs, you could unlock it fully but Verizon locked it down later. Just wanted to know that that is not the case.

2) Can you put a reliably functioning AOSP ROM (CM10.x, AOSPA, etc.) on the One? I'm guessing the answer is yes if the answer for 1) is yes but I was also looking for comments on the stability.

3) Is the IR sensor active if you flash an AOSP ROM? Can you get that functionality restored?

4) Can the HTC logo be made a button? I saw something like that when the phone came out and was wondering if that ended up becoming a thing.

5) How's the battery life on AOSP ROMs, can you get through a day's worth of moderate usage, email, lots of texts, a couple calls and twitter?

Bit of background, I have a Droid DNA, unlocked everything, running CM10.1. Was fixing my car, shattered the screen and looking to buy a new phone. Also looking at the S4 Dev Edition but that seems to not be in stock right now.

Thanks in advance for all your help!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] garrett08:
Maybe this will help -

1) I just got an HTC One from Verizon this past Friday (11/29) and was able to fully root, unlock the bootloader, and s-off without a hitch.

2) I'm running tikTak 4.4 and it's a great daily driver. It's stable, and obviously there are some small bugs here and there, but overall it's fantastic.

3) I can't speak on this one, as I don't have an IR blaster app to test it with.

4) Kind of. The reality is that certain kernels make a small section of the very bottom of the screen above the logo the menu button. Your thumb tends to overlap the screen and logo, making it seem like the logo is the menu button. It does work, though I personally don't use it.

5) Battery life is okay, but I seem to be getting through the day with usage similar to yours.

I hope this helps!
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] OctaviusMaximus:
Yeah it does, thanks very much! Are you able to disable the hardware buttons and switch to onscreen ones at all? Do you know of any ROM that does that? I don't particularly like the button layout so wondering of you could change that at all. Also, how's the camera?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Honestly, all these questions could be answered by looking around this forum.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
1) As far as dates go, I would try and shoot for before the 2nd week of December...That's when they're releasing the 4.3 update that will likely block s-off.

3) Theres an app called IR Smart Remote (I think that's the name) that works on AOSP ROMs.

Regarding your camera question, some have hardware issues, but if you avoid those the camera is great.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] garrett08:
I'm not sure of any AOSP roms that let you do that just yet. I'm sure it's on it's way. As far as the camera goes, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm coming from the S4, which has an excellent camera, and the One isn't as good, but still takes great shots, especially in low light.

Yeah, but we all start somewhere. :good:
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] ddurandSGS3:
you can disable the buttons if you like and even turn off the lights. Im running silimbean and can do this.

I was weary about the buttons too but its not too different than using the nav bar that I was used to. I have a long press home button set to bring up recents.

The camera works. Im not relaly a camera person but it takes good enough pictures for me.

if you utilize the forum and do some searching nay question you ask can probably be answered without posting.

1. If updated through system settings, will it effect my data and install apps

2. What about the GAAPs for the said version of CM 10.2 or have to install again compatible to it

3. If update not available by default, where can i get the same along with GAAPS and how to flash the same

well depends what are you going to use it for

for games, yes

for reading, well because of the high res, yes

listening to music, depends if you use speaker or headphones.

you might if you want to, the changes are a lot of them, my brother owns a old nexus 7, it's good but not comparable to mine.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] WiNoJoE:
Hell yes. I could never go back to my old Nexus 7 after buying the new one a few months ago. Everything on it is better: display, sound, performance, battery life, size/weight, etc/etc. I thought I might regret buying it since I already had the other (was wife's really, but she hardly ever used it), but I guarantee it's a MUCH better tablet than the 2012 model.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 95Z28:
I'm not not sure what this "speaker problem" is you're referring too, the speaker works fine on both my nexus 7s (2012 and 2013 models). But yes, the 2013 model is a solid upgrade. If you primarily use it for web browsing you might not see enough of a difference to justify the upgrade, but if you do much multitasking or play graphic intensive games its worth it for sure.

I can't bring myself to part with my 2012 N7, but since picking up the 2013 it has been resigned to being nothing more than an alarm clock.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] kenyee:
You'll notice things look sharper and scrolling feels smoother.

The N7FHD doesn't have the blown speaker problem that some of the old N7's had. And no issues w/ the screen glue popping loose.

However, the N7FHDs can have other problems, including random reboots. I had to return my first one...same apps installed on the old N7 had no issues...the new one developed random reboots in a few days.

Others have said the GPS is flaky and there are multitouch issues. And others have complained the screens are easier to crack because the body flexes more easily because it's thinner.

Just things to be aware of...it is great when it's not flaky though :)

I read on it mostly too and love the "retina" screen..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] MWFD:
I did it and don't regret it. I also had a $50 off coupon for Staples so the 32GB cost me $219+ tax and I sold my original with OEM case for around $150 which helped to reduce the cost of the Nexus 7 (2013). Display is the !main reason to upgrade - it doesn't even compare. There's no way you'll be able to go back to the original after using the display. I loved my original Nexus 7 too and wondered if I would see that much of a difference but the new display is incredible. If you can sell your old one for a decent amount, I'd say do it. I do have some random reboots lately though but the thing boots so quickly that I can tolerate until a fix. Plus I think its because of the ROM I'm running: an unofficial version of CM11. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] CheCorchete:
Thanks for sharing your experiences guys. I'm just thinking about buy the 2013 model or just wait for the "2014" model. What do you think?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AarSyl:
Go for the 2013 model. I wouldn't really consider the 2014 version worth the wait over this one, because the new Nexus 10 hasn't even been established as yet. That's a pretty long wait.

Or, you can do what I did, and spend a little extra money for a warranty. I spent an extra $66 for a 2yr warranty from Radio Shack, and my tab holds its complete value until the day that the warranty ends. Plus, I'm protected from everything, INCLUDING BRICKS! I'm very happy with that.
