Get Full Battery For A Day With No Comprimis on data networks!

Hey! This is my first post of hopefully many more!

1) The most important one is set your brightness to AUTO. This is really important and easily adds up to 5 hrs of extra juice!

2) Don't run many background apps and kill apps that use network in the background!

3) Download a good battery saver app (Battery Doctor is my Favorite :)) and let it optimize your settings for you!

4) Kill unused app repeatedly . Apps that run in the Background drain a lot of battery and RAM! You can see the app hogging your battery under Settings->Battery.

5) Charge your battery until 30% to 100% everytime.

6) Regularly Calibrate your battery . See this tutorial

Following these steps will easily get you a day+ juice with no compromise to your network or connectivity!

Please hit the thanks button if this was helpful!
[Android General] hnkotnis:
At least post 1st post with facts.

All above written by you are wrong except point no (2)

1) AUTO brightness is battery guzzler as it runs on light sensor. Read OP.

3) No need of battery saver app. They only do things which you can do from status bar. Switching off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,data, brightness etc.

4) Read OP. ( that is original 11st post on this thread)

5)Charge battery when it reaches very low like 5-15%, don't unplug till 100%.

6)Calibration is only deleting batterystats.bin It does not increase battery . It only deletes battery use history.

No offence but please write facts instead of useless things.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D

Revolutionary batteries

Nice tips you got there. Wish it was more common for batteries to charge while walking or in the sun.

After I switched to CyanogenMod I noticed an improved battery-life.
[Android General] hnkotnis:
Of course Cyanogenmod and AOSP give lot of battery life because they don't have bloat ware from manufacturer. When I use AOSP 2.3.7 I get 6-8 days backup(moderate use). With stock I get Max 3-4 days.

Hi, hoping you guys can help me out:

Current Problem: Bought an unlocked N900T, put in my metroPCS sim, try to dial *228 to switch my plan to that phone's IMEI. Get the "Not Registered On Network" error. Ok. Call metroPCS and have them switch me to that IMEI manually while phone is off and sim is out, still not working, they switched the phone to troubleshooting mode for 2 hours and still couldnt figure it out. Now I'm back on my S3 trying to figure out what's wrong.

Things it cant be:

1) Can't be the sim, it works fine in my S3

2) Can't be the IMEI is bad, checked and looks good

3) Can't be ESN is blocked, checked that

Things i've already tried:

1) ODIN back to pure stock rom (was already there anyway tho)

2) Factory reset

3) Set network to GSM, select automatic registration, never finds service.

I hear there is some Ariza patch to fix network for s3, s4, note 2. dont see one for Note 3. Any ideas would be appreciated. :crying:

You might be in in a At&t area, and its trying to connect to that carrier. Mine does that when I'm not in tmobile area. You might want to uncheck roaming if it's enabled.

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

Sound like it's default carrier is wronge. Find network operators and manually set it to metropcs.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:34 PM ----------

Also check what frequency metropcs is using. And set it correctly. Because if it's not set right your phone will try and connect to the wronge carrier that it's not registered too. It sounds like it's trying to connect to the wrong carrier.

I have the same tablet, and I'm having issues rooting it. Unfortunately, unless you can find the correct device drivers for this tablet, I don't think it's gonna happen. I have been trying to root this thing for days now, and to no avail (I think I've tried just about every English rooting program out there, PLUS a couple of Chinese ones). :crying:

I also bought this tablet and ran into problems as well. I came across this post, not sure if it will work. Its basically the same tablet minus one camera. At work so I can't test for a couple of hours. The other link might work as well. In anyone is successful let us know.

[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
None of the methods I have tried including the ones above have worked. I did manage to get all the drivers setup but still haven't had any luck including with vroot or any other method.

I think perhaps the only method I can foresee at the moment is to use PhoenixSuit and have someone with a similar tablet like the ematic mentioned above give us their img after it was rooted. Some brave soul would have to try flashing it to their tablet to see if it would work. Once we had that software, I think we could achieve root using the methods above.

Either way, I'm sure that a new root method will come along, the tablet is running relatively new software with patches to prevent the old root methods it seems.

I'm considering returning the NB07 in favor of the ematic above since I had it for a while and it rooted easily. The only downside is that that device is missing a rear camera. Otherwise, it seems about the same.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

This has a different processor and different OS. Unfortunately, this root method didn't work for the NB07

Update: successfully flashed the AGPtek TP718AQ rom to the tablet and it boots without problem but the touch screen isn't working.

Will attempt to root.

Update: TP714AQ doesn't have a working touch screen either.

Update:

I have root in adb for the ROM's above, but still no touchscreen access.

Anyone have any idea how I can get touchscreen on these? Also, if someone could dump the original ROM that would be useful.

[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
Warning: The following may have unforseen effects including breaking your tablet to the point of being unrepairable. However, I believe that I have found tonswer to our problem.

Simply go to this website: http://www.iviewus.com/firmware788TPC/ and download the firmware. Yes, it is for another tablet. However, the tablet appears to have the same specs as ours. Once downloaded. Install the included PhoenixSuit software. Once it is running, click the button at the bottom right to update the software to the newest version (this may not be required). Then, plug in your tablet using the usb port and install the drivers. I used google and found them all within minutes. Once the software recognizes your tablet go to the firmware tab where you have extracted the .img file and select the file. Next, click upgrade to upgrade your tablet (it has instructions to help your tablet be recognized if you are having difficulty). Once the new firmware has been flashed, then download the file RootFromOTA.zip that can be found on various places such as XDA. Move the file onto an external SD card. Then, go to settings -> backup & reset -> Recovery Mode. Your tablet will restart. Once it does, select the bottom option to install from SD card. Install the RootFromOTA.zip and then reboot. Once rebooted, install the supersu app or another root application of your choice.

Congrats... You're rooted.

Please hit the thanks button if I have helped you!

Edit: I should add that since no one has yet copied our stock ROM there is currently no way to go back, it would be great if someone did that (various tutorials are on xda). Also, I haven't gotten camera working on this ROM so don't do this if having camera is important to you. Other problems probaby exist. You have been warned.
[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
Could someone on original firmware log in as adb on their original firmware, then cd to /vendor/modules and use the ls command to print the list of files there. I need to know what module we are missing from our camera. So, I can load it.
[General Questions and Answers] Hippie459MN:
I havent flashed anything yet and my Nobis is still 100% stock. You just tell me what to do and I will do my best. :)

When I power mine up it says it has the Allwinner QuadCore-A31 and it looks like the so could we skip the flashing the image part and just install the RootFromOTA.zip from recovery? Im just thinking out loud here. lol

Here is where I got the idea - http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.php?8958-Quick-and-Easy-Root-for-ematic-EGQ307-series

The Nobis looks to be the same thing minus the camera.

Let me know if I can help any.
[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
You are correct, we have the allwinner a31s. Unfortunately, I was never able to get that method to work on our ROM (or about 50 other methods which have worked up until now for that matter). I did manage to get it to work on the ROM from the iLive tablet without any difficulty. It would seem they have patched that root method on our system. I had the EGQ307 at one point and was able to use that exploit without any difficulty. But, you can feel free to try that method if you would like (Who knows if I might have had a user error).

All you need to do is download that file, move it to your SDCARD, go to settings -> Backup and reset -> then select "Recovery Mode". It will reboot into recovery mode. You will select the option on the bottom for "update from external SD" (or something to that nature). Then select the RootFromOTA.zip. If it succeeds, reboot and install an app such as supersu, if not...well, it will give you an error as it did for me.

If you could try a couple of commands from either adb (this will use another PC) or from a terminal (I use an app called terminal emulator). If you use adb, then I would recommend typing the command "adb shell" minus the quotes first. Then (from either) type "lsmod" and copy and paste the printout here.

It would also be useful to have a list/copy of the files in the /vendor/modules folder. You can either use adb or the terminal, or a browser app such as root browser (the browser apps may require root access). You can then type "cd /vendor/modules" then type "ls" it should print out a list of all of the files there. Please copy that list and paste it here or send it to me.

If you can find a way to copy the firmware then do that as well. I know there are ways out there that can do it, but I'm not sure which way can do it without root (some require use of linux). I may look for a couple and post links. I don't have the firmware, so I cannot do it myself, or I would.
[General Questions and Answers] Hippie459MN:
I cant figure it out, on both the PC running adb and in Terminal Emulator running adb shell gets me no device found and when I run adb devices it says list of connected devises and that is it with no actual devices listed. Hmmm....
[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
Two things could cause this: 1.) You don't have the correct drivers installed 2.) You may need to reboot the device/your PC.

To check, go to the device manager in windows to see if there are any drivers which are not installed correctely or not installed at all. It usually will show a yellow triangle next to any wrong drivers. I wish I still knew what driver set it was that got mine going but that was a couple weeks ago. Maybe I'll look into it later.

To address problem 2, it sometimes takes an odd dance of turning the device on and off to get it to work. Another trick to make sure that it is connected is to hold down the power button for 10 seconds until the device turns off. Then press and hold in the "back" button. While holding that button, plug in the devices usb to the PC. Then tap the power button about 5 to 7 times. You should hear the sound of the device connecting to your computer.

Either way, to circumvent this you can just use a terminal from within android to run the same commands (download from the android store for free). It will work the same but is a tad bit more of a pain because it requires you to type on the keyboard on the tablet and copying the information will be harder.
[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
Thanks for posting this. Using it, I have identified our camera modules. Now to try to find them somewhere and compile them to work...
[General Questions and Answers] Hippie459MN:
I am not at home right now to try or look into it more but wonder if it is possible to pull the files needed from the tablet without having root access at all. What files are they off hand and I will see what I can find on the net as well.
[General Questions and Answers] neatojones:
I can't promise any results, but I may be able to get it going. If you could copy a few files from the device zip them and upload somewhere, it will help speed things along:

It seems the ROM I'm trying to use is exactly the same minus for the following files from the /vendor/modules: sp0718.ko, sp0838.ko, sp2518.ko, cam_detect.ko, device.ko, ilitek_aimvF.ko

We also need copies of the following so I can verify if they need to be changed to make them compatible:

1.) /system/etc/camera.cfg

2.) /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.autofocus.xml

3.) /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.flash-autofocus.xml

4.) /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.front.xml

5.) /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.camera.camera.xml

3.) System files for the camera from /system/lib/hw (ie: camera.fiber.so and camera.goldfish.so or any other camera.'anything'.so)

I'll probably need other files like script.bin later, but this will do for now.

Thanks for the help.

---------- Post added at 04:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 AM ----------

Could also use a copy of the /dev/block/nandc file

---------- Post added at 05:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 AM ----------

The problem with attempting to throw the files above onto the device is that they were likely compiled for a different kernel and may not work. It's worth a shot though since I'm having trouble finding the modules online to compile.

As an aside, I noticed that the same tablet is actually being released by the iview company that I have gotten my current working ROM from. It is called iview 774TPC. Allwinner recently released an update so that manufacturers could update to android 4.4 and it is expected that many of these companies will release updates. Hopefully, when that happens either the nobis company or another company with release a ROM with updated firmware. If many manufacturers release 4.4 updates for the a31 processor based devices it may solve many of our problems because people who develop root methods will likely be create one that will work on our tablet.

sorry, one more request if possible: /dev/block/nanda in addition to the /dev/block/nandc that I mentioned above. :) thanks!

Bump. I too am interested in this. Or even any good QI charger with NFC that will elevate my Nexus 5 up a little bit so I'm able to view the screen from a small distance. I've never used the Tylt Vu so I can't be positive, but it doesn't look like it angles the phone enough. It's also quite expensive without a promo code or something. I was really looking forward to the Synergy Home & Vehicle Wireless Charger despite its slightly ugly base but it looks like it didn't work out with the company. You can still "pre-order" it on Amazon as well.

Doing this with the TYLT right now. You're right, the angle isn't as steep as it could be, but I've had no problems seeing the clock. I'm really happy with this setup.

HI Friends

I have a very very peculiar problem. I have a O2 Xda Mini purchased recently in Mumbai, India.

My ROM Versions:

Previously, when i receive a call, I am able to hear/speak without using a bluetooth/Handsfree Kit.

two days back, when i tried using the handsfree, everything worked fine when call was receieved.. After removing the handsfree, I am not able to use the phone without bluetooth/handsfree.

I tried various options for getting the things worked...Did Soft/Hard reset of the phone. still the problem persists.

When I try to go to Start > Settings >Phone and select a Ring Tone, I cant hear the same from the internal speakers.

But when someone calls me the same ringtone works fine ans i hear the tone without any issues.

Do you know if this is a known BUG with this firmware, or there is some corruption in the registry.

Please Help !!!
