but the i did compare the screen usage with notes and S3, they all have heavy usage. but when i check their screen power consumption, it is only about 30-40%. most importantly is i am now using a 3900mHA battery. but the phone can only last me for one whole day. and galaxy note with 2500 mHA battery already can last for whole day. with sunglobal 3000mHA battery it can last 1.5 day. this is what i don't understand. i already adjust my screen to the lowest brightness and use dark colour home screen.. but seem it doesn't help.

i search around at XDA forum

Citing a review from GSMArena, The GSM Galaxy Nexus (1750mAh battery) does about 3 hours only on their web browsing test.

I'm sure most owners who actually done their research before buying a phone knows the pros and cons of the device.

It is indeed sad that the Galaxy Nexus battery is 'bad'. But overall it's still worth it to me

I think it's the chipset and gpu using a lot of battery?
Look at this Huawei Ascend P1 (same chipset as GNexus) battery life test on Web Browsing, quite similar.

How long is your on screen time? Press at "screen"...For stock battery, it should give around 3 hours screen on time. Note and S3 is newer in terms of chipset architecture. It's also possible that the amoled in nexus is more power consuming. It's the first generation super amoled hd. What's your normal usage on your phone? What you usually use your phone for?

Dear all, i think i asked a wrong question previosly regarding deodex ROM. Actually I want to ask about zipalign:

On theory, zip-aligned ROM are faster.

1. Did you guys really feel the difference between a zip-aligned ROM and a non zip-aligned ROM? If yes, can you show me a situation where I can really feel the difference?

2. My understanding is that the galaxy Nexus stock ROM downloaded from Google are not zip-aligned. I though it should be zip-aligned as it should be optimised and it's from Google?

Thanks for guidance.

sorry bro .. cant really remember what is the exact link .. but i can say i found it at XDA forum eh

Hi guys, previosly i told u all that i cant update 4.1.2 OTA right?? it move half bar then stuck at the "!" mark with a lying android. So today i boot in fast boot and choose recovery mode. It stuck at the "1" mark with a lying android and the background all black.. then after a while, it boot up the phone. I'm on all stock. Never tried custom rom before. Just last time change to yakju using the toolkit step by step.
Can someone help me here?? What happened to the phone?
THx!

Update failure and caused system instability or semi-bricked/softbricked.
This is pretty common and normal.

Solution?
Go to Samsung Center(if you're using ORIGINAL and tell them after updating your phone to 4.1.2 via OTA and this happen).

iinm, using toolkit will flash cwm rite?

Like someone mentioned earlier, the phone has to be completely stock (kernel, ROM, recovery) for OTA to work. Shouldn't matter if it;s rooted or not, just that you may lose root after the OTA
I encountered the same problem with you as well, thinking I was completely stock. But then I recalled messing around with some system/apps files while installing ownhere Google Maps sometime ago. I realised that when I downloaded the OTA zip file, flashed CWM and then tried to flash the OTA zip file. It gave me an error message saying something is not stock in system/apps. Tried like heck to find the stock apps apks online, but failed. So finally decided to reflash everything back to stock JRO03C. That finally did the trick. But do backup your apps and data 1st coz everything;s back to factory.

Having gone thru all that crap finally realised wtf I update for??? No difference pun................

4.1.1. --> 4.1.2 got 1 finger different ... 1 finger to expand notification

Last night i had the best idling experience yet

AOKP B5 + Lean Kernel, vibrate mode, no wifi

8.5 hours consumes only 1 %

i changed to 4s from galaxy nexus and the battery on 4s is not better, 4s can last longer while u using it, but not in standby with data and push data on.

on another hand, one x has the best standby in data with push data on, around 8% for 8 hours compared to 4s 20% and galaxy nexus!

btw, i am selling 2000mah original battery, check my thread for more info.

hmm, data push on gnexus?? u sure hox 8hr8% win??
i would say par then, i get 1hr 0.7-0.9% drain on data only peak at 1% when i get tons of email during the day

my current average is
4hr on screen with data n wifi and many services, auto brightness as im under the sun most of the time.
lasts from 11pm till say 8pm next day.

im guessing u're not tuning that heavily yet

I can't achieve what u get le. On screen time now 1hour 28 mins, battery level already 47%. But heavy voice call, voice call 1hour+. Wifi on all the time. Idle time 18 hours.

I hardly hit 4 hours now. Intern most of the time free like siao. Always on edge, only change to 3G when i need to surf at speed. No push mail but other services all on (except Line... such a battery drainer). Most of the time spent on opening Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp and Gaming 3~3.5 hours max
Off screeen 300/350
On screen 300/350~1036 Trinity

Anyone having problem with data greyed out after using wifi and can't connect to internet?

I got 3 APN setting. it happen like this:

1. I use wifi then i turn it off. APN setting no.1 greyed out.
2. I change to APN setting no.2 then it's blue again.
3. I use wifi again then i turn it off. APN setting no.2 greyed out.
4. So I change to APN setting no.3 then it's blue again.

APN setting no.1 and 2 can't be used again unless i reboot. Anyone having this problem?

3hr on screen time for me to use 1 bar HSPA+ or 3G data

weak signal drain a lot of battery

dun get what u mean, and y u got so many apn??
i only have 1 or 2 i think..


these days quite free just web browsing and so so 4 hr achivable. infact 50-60~ i hit 2 hr ardy so..
now im testing wdcma preffred see got any battery drain issues..
cannot toggle 2g and speeed like siao
