Battery life: three days sixteen hours at 25%

Yes, I've been using my phone the past few days. Andromeda Three is great.
EDIT: I was dumb and didn't notice my phone number there, could a mod remove the quoted pictures? Lol.

Sounds like its been sitting on the table

i got about 3 days on andromeda 1.2 with moderate use. if the op is a light user and turns data and wifi off when not in use i would expect about that. honestly that rom is so good on battery that i stopped using juice defender because it was only saving me a couple percent and since i could already go 2 days without thinking about it and have 25-35% battery left.

Apparently background data has been on this whole time since I hit the market icon and it went to the market automatically...

Beat me to it lol
Andromeda was a great battery saver for me too, but I can't say it was THAT great lol.

I had great standby time on Andromeda but with heavy usage it was about normal. Leaving it for 8 hours with no use I would get 0-1% battery drain and that was with data and Gmail syncing. With heavy use i was able to get around 3 hours of screen use a day, sometimes a little more.

We put alot of work into refining Andromeda3.

Well I was on Andromeda when it came out. Never got 3 days.

That's probably a huge amount of idle time.

That's what I think too. But hey. If he doesn't want to use his phone. He can just set it there and look at it.

[Q] Data usage

I know we get unlimited data(2GB), but is there a way to keep track of the usage? I didn't see anything on the phone or VM site.

I use this app called radioOpt ..it is a widget an it tells you how much data youve used with wifi and regular 3g..see in the pic it on the top.

We do get unlimited data. Just after 2.5GB in a month, VM will throttle your speed for the rest of the month.

Sad isn't it? My speed depends on the location. 600's in the city and 300's at home. Uploads seem to be faster every time, wish it was flipped.

Lol, I use a Thunderbolt, and my GF has a Triumph. Even when comparing 3G to 3G, My Thunderbolt is twice as fast as her Triumph. 4G on my T-bolt makes her Triumph feel like its running on 1x. I can't imagine how bad "throttling" VM 3G service would be.

At&t has something in this phone!

Hi it looks like At&t installed something in the phone that checks what you download on thair network. It doesn't let downloading torrent with adownloader. This **** is going back to At&t.

Even if that is the case, which I SERIOUSLY doubt, it will only be a short matter of time until we can remove/deter it.

I think he's right. At&t install that stupid Carrier IQ crap. My data has been on and off is like I can't visit certain web sites. Some load some don't. What's going on? BTW that carrier iq has been monitoring my network state so far nothing else. I will take a look at the service log soon.

And this is not on the OGSII?
How do you check?

Can Carrier IQ be removed with a DEV ROM?

I do agree with this.
Try going to www.justin.tv over 3G/H+ and see if it works for you guys. On mine, it doesn't.
Then if I try going to it over WiFi it works flawlessly.
Any ideas/tips to fix this?

What else AT&T want to do with our privacy or our rights to do whatever we want with our phones!!!???
It is true, mine have the same 400 error bad request at 4G but no on WiFi

yes there is a fix.
Add a NEW APN for the old HSPA+ ; the 'phone' apn
the new LTE's APN (pta) is restricted on the AT&T's end..
it has nothing to do with the phone

This is in my account. I had the personal smartphone unlimited when I got the Skyrocket they change it to this crap
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

that is the LTE Personal unlimited plan. The grandfathered.
tell me from the list of LTE plan you rather have?

i agree. I'm not too sure what the problem is but it seems to filter sites even when i'm tethering (i'm grandfathered).
The issue is fixed when i hop on MIT's vpn (which encrypts all connections).
Not happy about this

1 thing to note is that I've been in the settings and put in my location and it tells me it can't find that location. There was no problem before.

I never used mine but just tried and it won't even let me add my location, so my assumption would be the yahoo weather feed it used has been changed or is down, especially since it's across various roms, which all really have the same base.

Yeah, just saying that it still works on some ROMs, so it's apparently not all the backends failing. Unless PACman uses a different backend.

I know mine worked for a while ad then randomly, after spring break where I had no service so I left my phone off all week, it stopped working. is that just me or is that replicated by anyone?

This problem has been bugging me for a month it seems now.
The first thing i did every morning was check the weather on the Lockscreen.
Maybe this isnt new but i have not found a fix in our forums so..
I went where of coarse... google.Started looking around to find a fix
and sure enough.Good ole XDA boys got it figured out and they have
a Flashable zip that i have tested and confirm it works on Slimbean 4.1.2 V4
There is also a standlone APK for 4.2. but it will not work with anything under 4.2
Here it is the one for Slimbean....

I cant use it, it says if my phones dpi is changed. I use flex roms, in none of them themer works.

How do we get it to work on our dpi? I'm on stock G2 firmware.

Check out >this post< from bigfau. A possible fix if your rom supports hiding the nav bar.

I was able to use it on my g2 unfortunately the constant re-draws of widgets and no lock screen support were a turn off. However, they are the nicest screens and VERY easy to use...

I agree that the scenes look nice, but I always had problems with the in launcher weather widgets and the redraws so I went with nova launcher and zooper widget.
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app

its in beta version yet but the launcher looks like its heading in the right direction. i use nova prime also.

I tried out themer a few times. It seemed to drain my battery rather quickly so I stopped use.

Yea it kinda redraws but for that I installed "memory locker" from play store and locked the memory of themer to stay. Quite handy until they implement the lock home launcher memory.

That was happening to me and when i reset the nav bar size themer started working just fine.
