love to help.

I would love to help.. but I need a little more information first... like what android version ie. 4.4.2. (Found in Settings.apk under 'about phone'.)

Second which type of Computer are you trying to utilize? Like Windows 7 Home Premium or Mac OSX leopard/snow leopard. Or even Linux like redhat or Gnome.. this will allow me to rule out software/hardware issues and focus on the exact circumstances your in.. thx bud. ;)

He's trying to connect his phone to the network with a USB ethernet adapter.... I think you completely missed the point of the post.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Daisflaque:
Well if so thanks for the info.. I was simply trying to narrow down the source. In which way did it seem as though I missed the point? The point was he/she had trouble with their phone connecting to a network.. right? Well in my experience.. most home networks are routed through a PC.. so my obvious conclusion was the other end like not the phone... idk I'm kinda new here and am doing my best.. lol anyway thx.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy.shi:
When I install apps from play store, I'm always told what permissions the apps require.

However, I'm not happy to give permissions to some of the requests. For example, I don't want Shazam to use my location. It does nothing but waste battery life. I only use it to ID the music I'm listening. My location is none of its business.

On iPhone, when an app tries to get location info for the first time, I'm always asked whether I would like to give the permission. Is there anything on Z2 allows me to control what an app can and cannot access?

Any help will be appreciated. :)

I think you can use xprivacy, greenify android tuner, system tuner, i think some others, try googling

Either way you may need xposed and/or root

Thanks for that. I don't really want to root my phone now that I have the screen problem fixed. Guess there is no way around this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] readysetmosh:
Hey guys.

I was wondering if anyone is working on a Android L port to the HTC Evo 4G LTE. If not, would anyone be willing to do so? I don't have much experience actually porting, only flashing and the like, so I don't know if I would be able to provide much help. (If this isn't the right forum, just let me know)

Edit: I know Android L is still in the beta stage, and that there are still a lot of issues with it. Would it be at all possible to port?

Hi,

I'm new of the forum.

I have a problem with my XDA IIi.

I configure the hand set with the bluetooth. The phone recognize the device and it connect with him.

When I make a call, I hear from the hands free just a noise.

Why?

Another question, how may I use the mp3 as ringtone??

XDA IIi

ROM 1.11.00 WWE

Radio 1.0.4

Protocol 1337.42

Ext Rom 1.11.171
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] clustered:
What type of hands free you're using???

To set mp3 as ringtone, just copy that mp3 file to /Windows/Rings/ Folder. Then you can choose it from Sound & Notifications.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] gregoriusaryanto:
u can use mp3 as a ringtone without any software, just put ur MP3 file into "my document- my ringtones".

or u can use mp3 as a sms sound. just put ur mp3 file on "windows". now u can use it.

How much battery life are you guys getting on your Tab Pro 8.4? I bought mine couple of days back and I felt it's disappointing.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rholm:
Mine has been fine. But, i use it to read and browse the web. I rarely make it down to 50% each day.

Cheers,

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rholm:
It shows 2 hrs 10 minutes. I have 67% battery left.

Cheers,

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sbleacher:
What bugged me was the disappointing battery life when the screen was turned off (not completely powered off of course). Even in airplane mode it would die in a day or two just sitting around. Battery stats showed Android System and OS were killing the battery. I never figured out if there was a setting or something to fix it.

Instead I loaded Cyanogenmod 11 on it a week ago and now it uses only 3% of the battery a day when I'm not using it. I don't miss any of the Samsung extras.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rkial:
Something must be keeping it awake. My tab has excellent standby battery life.

Doesnt lose more than 5% in a day. I do have the setting to turn wifi off when in sleep mode though (unless plugged in)

Battery life on the whole varies. Video watching through the stock video player drops about 10% an hour. Surfing would depend on your browsing habits. Gaming drains close to 20% an hour. Pretty standard. That along with the excellent stand by time means I get about 2 days of use on a charge.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] dansafe:
Every day at work telephony, internet, email, IMO 24hours, 24hours Bluethooth Gear 2 connect. Dinner consists of my tablet battery 55%. For me life is great. My tablet root and frozen Samsung Apps (Bloatware) ... XDA .... Try the Nova launcher from the Play Store to Improve speed. Set it as your default launcher then Disable / Turn Off;

Flipboard, MagazineWidget, S Voice, Samsung Apps, Samsung Apps Widget, SapaMonitor, Screen Saver, World Clock, and (Hancom, Office for Android Share, Hcell, Hshow, Hword, Updater, Viewer Launcher, and Widget) if you do not plan on using it.

We will be adding Quadrant test 24,000 points on the original ROM.

Battery life is good its an app thats draining the battery.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sbleacher:

Yes it was using as much battery as watching a movie with the screen on. Something was terribly wrong with it. I think this behavior started after a software update I got from Samsung.

I turned everything off including Wifi and it was still eating the battery while sitting there with the screen off. I have never seen that with any Android device I've ever owned.

But I'm happy with Cyanogenmod. Battery life is outstanding now.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Wotta:
My battery life was mediocre, and then I put cyanogenmod on, and it went to dreadful. With the tablet at 100% and OFF, untouched, it would be 20% down in 10 hours. In contrast, my iPad loses maybe 3% in that time, doing the same thing - tracking email.

I ran a wakelock tracker and noticed that Exchange Services has it awake about half the time. The total time. Like in 10 hours Exchange had it awake (with screen off) more than five hours. Effen ay. Something is seriously screwed up with how Cyanogenmod's Exchange talks to the two Exchange services I use. Switching from Push to "5 minutes" has helped significantly; Exchange is still the worst culprit, but now only by a factor of four rather than a few hundred.

Ideally what I'd like is the new Exchange apks modified to prevent admin and fixed to be less wakelock intensive.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] metaldood:
What is your on-screen time during the 2 days?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] sbleacher:
Cyanogenmod has their own version of Exchange?

Our Exchange servers at work are ridiculously slow and unreliable. They can take two minutes to return your mail which is a major drain on your battery if it's set to check it every five minutes and you get a lot of mail. Sometimes they'll just stop responding and leave you hanging. The IT people just tell you to keep trying and you'll get your mail eventually.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rkial:
Dunno.. 7-8 hrs I guess. Screen on time really doesnt mean much without any context.

I can get 12hrs+ watching videos on 20% brightness. I can kill it in 4 hrs playing games at 100%.

Like I said, the standby is excellent. Drains less than 10% in 2 days. So for me, I have about 90% to use over 2 days.. and from my experience,

video drains less than 10%/hr

gaming ~20%

reading books drains less than video.

General surfing, mails, social networking uses between 10-15% depending on how you are using it.

My brightness is usually around 40%. Goes up rarely when I'm using it bright conditions. Goes lower when I'm reading late at night

Should give you an indication of what you can expect from the battery depending on your usage..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] animedreamer240:
Mine drains about 10% per hour while constantly using the device for light tasks, such as reading, web surfing, and watching some YT videos here and there. That increases to about 15%/hour when I watch movies. So after watching a 2 hour movie, I expect to see about 70-75% of battery left. Now if I'm listening to music for an hour at the gym with the screen turned off, it only drains about 3%.

At first, I thought that was pretty mediocre and felt disappointed. But I've taken my tablet with me on many trips and never had it die (usually just close to 20%). I rarely ever use my external battery pack. I know this will vary depending on how long the trip is and how much you're using it, but I'm just saying that it meets my needs despite having a lower battery life compared to some other tablets. I do all I can to extend it, but I don't have to constantly watch it.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] metaldood:
Last night I charged the tab 100% and with Wifi off (sync for 1 min every hour. )

Today the battery is at 71% - On battery 13hours - 44 mins

27% Android OS

24% Google services

13% Android System

8% Onscreen time - 20 mins :confused:

Should I flash CM to fix this?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Wotta:
CM won't fix that. Install Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector to nail down the precise problem. If you're using them, it could be Exchange Services or Google Drive (yeah, that turkey wakelocked me to oblivion!), at which point you at least know what to attack.

You can find BB on XDA here and WakeLock Detector on XDA here, both are also in the Play Store.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] metaldood:
Google search with 23 mins of wake time and Gmail with 6 mins.

Currently Deep sleep is 14 hr 26 mins. Total time is 17h 5m. Awake is 2h 39m. Screen on time - 27mins.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] rkial:
I added the google now widget a couple of weeks back and that caused some wakelocks and overnight battery drain. Removed it and didn't have the problem.

The battery life is pretty good for me. Was out a lot, so had wifi off for large parts.. watched videos (from device), read some books, played some Asphalt (not much.. around 30 mins) and some browsing/mails..

Got 11 hrs screen on over 2.5 days and still have 15% left.

Yeah was indoors so the brightness was never over a third (~30%) and reading books really doesnt drain much battery(especially if its at night and you turn the brightness further down)..

I'm not saying people will get 10+hrs screen on with their device and usage constantly.. 8hrs would be realistic.. but the point is, the battery is a lot better than I had originally expected.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] stuartv:
I have this same problem - except my GTP is 100% stock, unrooted. I can go into Settings/Battery to see that Exchange Services is chewing my battery. It will die in less than 24 hours, even if I don't use it - as long as it has a WiFi connection. I think if I turn off WiFi, it will stop attempting to sync and the battery will last "normally". I don't know for sure, though, as I haven't tried. I'm not interested in a tablet with no network connection or even without my email.

I'm going to cut a VERY long story short (at least, here) and say that I have spent several hours logging the ActiveSync traffic between my tab and my server, poring over the logs, and I have identified the problem. It's one particular item that is failing to sync, which causes the tablet to retry the sync every 1 second. The sync failure causes the server to log an internal server exception every time - despite the ActiveSync requests from the tablet being correct. I also found a Microsoft KB article that appears to address this exact problem, and MS has a hotfix available for it.

I have talked to Tech Support at my hosted Exchange provider and they have confirmed with their operations staff that my server does not have the MS patch that is referenced in the KB article installed. Unfortunately, they are giving me a bit of the runaround on installing it. I only have one mailbox hosted with them, so I have no pull. They sound like Verizon. "We have to thoroughly test this update in our lab before we can install it on your server." And "nobody else has reported this problem and we can't put too much time into a problem that only one user is experiencing."

So, I am now just waiting for them to install it on my Exchange server and see if it really does fix the problem for me. If it does, I will be posting about it on XDA and the AC forums, as a Google search showed me that a lot of people, with a lot of different Android devices, have this same problem and nobody seems to know what's really going on or how to fix it. I will try to remember to post back in the GTP General subforum specifically, too, so stay tuned.

My battery life seems to be getting better as the battery gets some more charges on it.

Sounds basic / silly, but i simply put mine in battery saver mode and that made a big difference with little effect on performance

I have left 94% I was just stunt so I wanted to see how much the battery will hold now I watched 3 movies over wifi for 6 hours with full screen brightness and I had left 35%

yeah, I've been freezing lots of samsung apps with titanium backup, trying to get the running processes down. There seem to be lots of running process on this tablet for no good particular reason. For example, even when you turn off automatic updates, the processes still run.

paired things down from 10-12 running programs to like 5-6 now. haven't had a full run at testing the battery yet, but so far the tablet seems stable.

I guess I forgot how much bloatware samsung installs on their devices.. My HTC and Asus devices didn't have nearly as much crap pre-installed.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] Sachiru:

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] locutusx:
i've read that dumping Samsung TouchWiz/Magazine UX, and going with another launcher can improve performance and battery life.

but do i need ROOT to do that?

and even if i switch to another launcher (I was thinking Google Now launcher since I previously only used NEXUS devices)

will the Magazine UX crap still run in the background

?

ALSO I tried to save battery by using "WiFi timer" to turn off wifi at 1am and turn on at 7:30am. Because no need for it to have WiFi while I am sleeping, right?

But the timer doesn't seem to work reliably

some days it works others it doesnt
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] dottat:
You could always just set wifi to only stay on during sleep when plugged in... if that would work for you. It makes even the stock rom sip battery for me.

For starters, I'm running freeza's nearly stock rom from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2750843 Only thing removed is the Knox apk's.

before I installed it, I was going to de-bloat it more, and remove a lot of aps, but ended up only removing the all-share apk's. There are about 7 all-share apk's I deleted from the zip. After that, there were a lot of apk's I wasn't sure about, so I figured I'd keep them in the rom, and use TB to freeze them first in case I ran into issues. Then I could uninstall them after I knew it was safe to do so.

So from the get go, All-Share and Knox were removed. Then, in titanium backup, I have frozen:

This is down by quite a bit from when the tab was stock. The stock clock/weather widget uses a couple of processes, so I removed it and installed a digital clock widget from the market (Digital Clock Xperia) and use that instead. I also haven't setup flipboard yet, and removed the flipboard tires from the launcher. The launcher seems a lot smoother now also.

Quite a bit of web surfing, Facebook, twitter, etc. Maybe a Skype voice call or 2.

I dont really understand all the fuss about the battery life. ALL tests and reviews were pointing in the not so great direction, so it shouldnt really come as a big surprice. I find it decent, not great, but decent. And if you consider the size of the battery, i really cant complain.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 General] locutusx:
Yes, i know the reviews had critiqued the Tab Pro's battery life, placing it on the lower end of "average" for this product range...

BUT

what i am experiencing now is WAY below average. for example, just reviewing the "cards" in Google Now result in a battery draw of 1% per minute. WTF?

by that logic, simply reviewing google now cards would KILL the battery after 1 hour 40 min!

those same "reviews" you talked about, had people who watched at least one and a half 720p MOVIES before the battery died.

that means, 3 hours of watching 720p video files (or Netflix).

How then can it die in half that time, when doing something that should use a TINY amount of battery???

BTW my Nexus 4, which is 1.5 years old now, uses 1% battery every 4 minutes when using Mobile Firefox to read forums like this one. meaning 5% battery for 20 minutes.

which is reasonable!

You use a UK ROM, but it sounds like you don't live in UK, is that right?

Err, wow I didn't know you could remove the back cover. But I assume that kills the warranty right? ;)

BTW I'm no longer as annoyed with my tablet, because I switched to the Google Now Launcher. The lag in the homescreens/app drawers is gone, it seems to be lighter on resources AND (most importantly) it's no longer eating up my battery for no good reason.

Magazine UX = ugh! hope samsung KILLS it
