Bought an HTC one x and I'm officially and HTC man from now,but .....the battery drain is horrible. At times dropping from lets say 75% to 65% in 2 mins. Is there anywhere I could get one of those usb chargers that's like a case down here? Since you can't swap batteries with this phone..

You have to be exaggerating man, if that's really the case, something isn't right

[kdere]

Dead serious. I'm accustomed to horrible battery drains on smart phones but geez...then it may stay on a certain percent for a half hr. So I don't know if the calibration is just off.

[Mr.Bollywood]

Kill off the battery to 0% leave it for an hour....and then restart a charge to allow re calibration

Otherwise if the problem persists you gotta check the phone apps, see if one using up alot of background processes (ram) which causes battery drain ...see if your cpu going into sleep mode

Or jus plain get a battery diagnostic app and let it test your battery!

[Trini Hookah]

Yeah get a RAM booster/sweeper and let it die and charge fully overnight

[Ted_v2]

anyone knows how to set downloads to go straight to the SD card rather than the internals?

[trinitachi]

I never looked into it.. You might probably have to install a secondary app and replace default downloader.. Me, I move them across manually. On another note, I dunno my these Johnny Come lately s4 users trying to compare their me 2 to my Z1. Steupes, my fone is badass, no contest.

[Mr.Bollywood]

All dah to say you have a z1?? lol yeah boi no doubt tho the z1 is one of the best Android phones out

sony is like the Aston Martin of the phone world

[trinitachi]

Nah nah.. I mentioned my z1 a few pages ago when some 1 asked about the time shift burst.. I just highlighting the SAMSheep and their futile attempts to prove their phone is the best (because it's popular eh).

[Mr.Bollywood]

Dude dw was kidding man , its a joke


We all know the z1 is an amazing phone! The camera is one of best cameras around xD

[Swisha]

lol allyuh good yes. if is not Apple sheep, is Samsung sheep.

man use wtf allyuh like and leave other ppl to use wha they like nah? that so hard to do? geez!

Nokia Normandy rumored to be low-end Android-based phone



The image you see above is the rumored Nokia Normandy, which Twitter leakster @evleaks revealed at the end of last month. While not much was known about the device at the time, the lack of hardware shutter button, capacitive buttons and LED flash indicated that this mystery phone was likely an Asha device intended for emerging markets or budget-minded users. Yet, if a report from The Verge's Tom Warren is accurate, there may actually be a lot more to the Normandy than what we had originally assumed. Warren has checked with multiple sources who claim that the phone is an Android-based device due for a 2014 release.

This may seem like a stretch, given the fact that Nokia's device division is currently awaiting an acquisition with Microsoft, but Warren offers a few points of clarification. First, he says, the Normandy is meant to be a low-end Asha equivalent that features a forked version of Android that isn't associated with Google services, which means Nokia would be able to fully customize it however it wants, much like Amazon does with its Kindle Fire. Doing this would still give Nokia full control over the device ecosystem, while giving users the chance to enjoy full smartphone apps -- something the company has had a difficult time figuring out how to do on the Asha line. The question is, would Nokia rely on a third-party app store or try to set up one of its very own? That's still an unknown, but this is assuming the Normandy even sees the light of day; if the rumor is true, our guess is that this project was already underway before Microsoft's acquisition, and will probably be released before the merger is complete -- if it gets released at all.

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

Since my nexus 4 update fiasco with the phone going into forever loop and freezing because silly me didnt do factory reset before touching the update now button from the official google update.

I notice the keyboard appears slower and it has some lag. saturation seems higher at the same time, closer to a super amoled screen now.

Anyone else?

I see google is sending out kit kat 4.2 updates.

I studying when it freeze while updating and had to go into safe mode to factory reset user data for it to restart if something corrupt?

The phone booted into kit kat perfect and all apps work perfect but I eh know the lag and I cannot root this device you have to unlock bootloader and all kinda madness. Too much stress

[BrandoHD]

Unlocking a bootloader is too much stress, lol.

It's the first thing I do as soon as I take my phone out the box, 5 minutes tops, 10 if your new to doing it

[Trini Hookah]

Have to unlock the bootloader of an a100 tab as u say that

[Jonathan_337]

Okay has anyone shipped a nexus 5 through sky box? How were the charges and what sky box was it?

[M_2NR]

TH ah harassing yuh bai. Ah know how it is.. i have about 10 color TPU case put down

You have to be exaggerating man, if that's really the case, something isn't right

this is accurate.
Don't even bother with Ram helpers etc. Android has evolved beyond that. I ended up going the full fledged modded route.

Ending up with Android Revolution HD, rooted with apps like greenify, Wakelock Detector and the likes. You will need to take off location services at least GPS and I used a ROMCleaner on it.
But start off using Wakelock Detector to see if you can identify what causing the drain.

[honda hoe]

Got 4.4.2 update ota update

[Trini Hookah]

Bollywood, one more question...u ran any custom roms on the S?

[Mr.Bollywood]

Nope , kept it stock only unlocked the bootloader.
