Recently I disabled fast dormancy using one of the dialer codes on my old galaxy s3 and my battery life increased greatly. I turned it back on an hour ago and battery life was poor comparitively ,although I couldnt use the same dialer code *#9900# I then I remembered an app that @ghokanmoral made the app if im not mistaking that those the work for you.
so heres the link to my box account where the app is.

:thumbup:What is Fast Dormancy?
Fast Dormancy is a relatively recent technology that is aimed at saving battery life on your phone as well as reducing congestion on mobile networks. Essentially when your phone stops submitting data, it waits for a message from the mobile network telling it to close the connection. On some phones you might notice this is when the H or H+ symbol becomes a 3 or 3G symbol. Essentially its a fast way of making the mobile data connection become dormant, thus saving battery. Many recent devices, including the Samsung Galaxy SIII support Fast Dormancy and in general that is a good thing.*
Why on earth would I want to disable it then?
Even though Fast Dormancy sounds like a brilliant idea (and it is) some mobile networks choose not to implement it citing reasons such as cost and network congestion (I call bs on this one though). Unfortunately if Fast Dormancy is not supported by your network and it is enabled on your phone it can cause problems.

How can I know if my Carrier supports it?
to be honest im not sure if its a carrier thing but a phone thing if you understand me. im not 100% sure

its a carrier thing and a phone thing. Both carrier and phone need to support it for it to work.

Just to chime in: T-Mobile Croatia (from what I've heard) does NOT support it. Will check it out in more detail and report back.
EDIT: this app is also available on Google Play. Can you confirm it works? How much battery gain did you notice?

You can check if your operator supports "fd" by disabling FD first and then using command *#0011#. If field "rrc state" shows state PCH and not idle then you can keep FD disabled.
Cheers

The app for disabling far dormancy in play store works well on GT-i9500. About battery life i dont really know how much is the gain but it definately made my data connection much more stable and usable

My phone, with FD enabled, says RRC: IDLE, Band1.
With FD disabled, it's the same, so I reckon it has no effect.
The app is called FastDormancy Toggle, made by Gokhan Moral, available for free on the Play Store.

The S5 seemed relatively unimpressive, however the download booster feature seems interesting where it uses lte and wifi for data. I was curious as to whether someone could port that over to the Nexus 5 or create their own implementation.
P0rn download b00ster. Moar plox google
Anyways I think it's hardware

I think it is implemented in software. There is a demo for using both LTE and WiFi on Galaxy S2 on YouTube already. (Search for "Energy-efficient multi-link video streaming on smartphones")
This would be REALLY nice feature to have. I actually might root for it!
Im pretty sure that it is software related, because I remember reading about an app for android that does this for you, but for the life of me can't remember the name of the app.

oh i am going to test
Any feedback? 4/5 stars on the Play Store from a N5 user.
Unfortunately I have no WiFi connection to test...
My LTE connection blows away my home Wi-Fi connection.... I don't see how I could benefit from a booster. I would think it would utilize bandwidth from my cellular data connection and not touch my Wi-Fi. Just another gimmick to pay twice as much as you need for a device imho.

The only reason I have been holding onto my ipad air is for the ability to use it as a navigation device. Tomtom works great even if not connected to the internet.
Will the tab pro 12.2 work the same way or does it need to be connected to the internet? Maybe a specific model I should get?
Yes it will work with the tom tom or similar app. Google maps would require a connection though

There are a few gps apps you can download on android that do not require a data connection to function. You have to download all the maps but they work.
OK, Im pretty sure tomtom is one. I am going to try the 64GB wifi model note pro and see if it works. If it does, the iPad air goes on craigslist!
Just curious but why such large screen GPS devices? You could probably do a nexus 7 and have an easier time mounting it in a car than a large tablet.

Not its main purpose, but it would be used that way once in a while.......
Cool.
I'm noticing on the wifi that if pushed hard during charging (multi-window use with heavy video decoding) it just doesn't have much forward progress on charging. I have no idea how this thing will perform on a car charger with GPS running and screen brightness turned up to be visible in daylight. Hopefully it at least stays at a given level and doesn't lose ground on battery % in such a use case.

That's an Apple BS thing. They don't include a GPS chip on the Wifi model to save cost. Most Android tablet come with a GPS chip...

wrong. just make the map area available offline and as long as your route doesn't leave the downloaded area you're golden

Yes you can do that but legitimately its a giant pain in the *!#.
You can only save areas so large (not very big ones) and if you were planning a trip for vacation or something it would take forever to download them all. And I believe they limit how many you can save. It would be much much much easier to download something like tom tom and just download the entire USA

I use my car charger that has a 2 amp port, also used to charge my wife's iPad, to charge my note pro 12.2 and it works. It does get a little warm but other than that using heavy use it does a slow charge on the device.

I am looking for am application that will notify me when a BT Device goes out of range.
Example:
Phone Note 3 paired with Fitbit One (or any BT deice)
When Fitbit One (or configurable devices) goes out of range a configurable alert occurs (Beep, Vibrate or and listed in the Notification area)
Sounds simple to me helps users not leave their BT devices behind. I'm sure its out there just can't find it.

Hi guys, I've got a Note 8.0 and I'm happy with It because I can use It as phone (3G version).
Does the LTE version of the note pro support the phone functionality? Can I use it to make phone calls? Of course I work with bluetooth earphones.
Thank you
Antonio
The answer is yes. I use my Note 12.2 with LTE to make calls, send texts, surf the web, etc. I'm using lg tone bluetooth stereo headset. Works like a champ.
Yes, I've used it (P905) to make phonecalls through my Bluetooth headset and my regular earphones.

The LTE version of the Note 12.2 has basically the same phone dialer, text message, browser, etc. that's found on all Galaxy phones. It's just displayed on a 12.2 screen. Wanna make a call? Tap the phone icon and dial away like you would do on any modern cellphone. Rince and repeat for text messaging, email, web browsing, etc. That's the point of getting the LTE version. It turns the tablet into a giant cell phone and you get the Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, instead of the Samsung Exynos processor to boot.

- Open the app drawer.
That's it.
This is full 100% unaltered stock. These apps came pre-installed out of the box.
This is the p905 4G edition, not the p900 WiFi Only. The WiFi only model doesn't have a 3G/4G radio.

The dialer and message apps are already on it you just have to find a way to get them to work. I have the Verizon variant and downloaded a dialer app and when I tried to run it the tablet asked what app to use at default and the dialer app was one of the choices. But it wouldn't run. It is also listed in the app manager under all apps.
If it's listed as an app in the app manager, you could probably add a shortcut to it through Apex or Nova. Or possibly with Zooper Widget, which also has shortcuts to apps.

Quite good but the fps is a little bit low
This is true. Other downside of SideSync: no word gliding for you.
I did discover some upsides, including being able to drag files from my file manager onto it, and opening a movie from my phone that played on my tablet (instant media streaming).
And like an idiot, I still haven't tried placing a call.
Help, no Phone
Sorry if this is in the wrong spot, I just had major surgery and some problems concentrating
I just purchased the Verizon Note Pro 12 today and there is no phone icon anywhere..
I have searched through every spot on that thing and cannot find it. I have the Note 3 phone and other samsung stuff so I am pretty used to their systems..
..Is there something I need to do special to find this because I am about to having a multi-hundred dollar discus.
Yes it is 4G, yes i have the Sim card inserted, yes it told me my phone number, but no phone or dialer icons exists, and I am supossed to be using this on a trip in a day and a half so would like to know its functions.
Thanks everybody..
