Howdy, y'all; trying to find information about my Monster M7 tablet.
I bought it last December when Walmart offered it for $100. Sounded like a good deal, considering the brand.
Like many others who bought one, my M7 has been problematic. After installing the latest firmware update from Monster (at the mymonstertablet.com/faq page), I'm now able to use all 16GB of installed memory (less that required by the O/S). OK; some progress.
After having purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (8" screen; I like it) lately for about the same price as the M7, I'll only use the M7 as a Chromecast controller, an OBD-II code reader, and to test EPUB docs that I develop. And maybe coupla apps before I completely forget how to build Java code.
However, until I solve the battery problem, it's mostly unusable. Even though the battery indicator shows fully charged, the M7 boots but only runs for coupla minutes before it quits. It runs correctly if a power adapter is connected to the microUSB socket.
I've read about /data/system/batterystats.bin, but this post indicates that deleting the file won't have the effect that some Android users think:

Where should I post about this Monster M7 problem?
Thanks much.
Please note, if Battery continues to give trouble, deleting BatteryStats will not help. you have a defective battery.

Thanks much for your reply. I'll repost at "Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting." I've filed a warranty claim with Monster. No response yet.

Hi all,
Heard from someone that if you put matte finish screen protectector to your Smartphone it will drain battery faster than the normal? has anyone heard of it how far its true.... just a curiosity
Hi!
I've never heard such a thing. I even searched and found nothing. And I can't imagine how it can affect battery life.
We usually are here to point the way to users, but I'm afraid I have nothing I can point you to.
If you want to pursue the question, you could ask in the general section however....

Hello,
I have spent the last day on getting the logs to identify what is the issue with my Nexus 4. I have logcat, dmesg and modem. I couldn't get any last_kmsg from the crashes, kept saying file doesn't exist, while after intentional normal reboot I was able to get the file without problems.
I failed to figure out the logs and would like to ask you for help. I understand that logcat and dmesg might be enough as the phone crashes on certain actions like taking a photo, connecting to wifi or mobile data, in google maps and a few more. It never crashes when plugged in.
Backstory: I dropped it once and have exchanged the screen to a new one. In the process I bent the battery slightly. Then it worked fine for some time but I would swear it stopped working after one of the updates.
I would like to know if the logs identify the battery or software as reasons for constant crashes, in which case I will wait for 4.5 or exchange the battery. if it is the screen I will most likely admit defeat and think about buying a new phone.

Hello,
I recently bought M8 and it took almost 4-5 hrs to fully charge and battery also didn't last that much not even half day.
and the shopkeeper told me it was original but after using it 2-3 days. I found traces of at the sides of the screen. traces like glue like substance and little scratches. (a bit down from the top cornors.)
Wanna know how to know whether it is refurbished or not.
And at lolipop update its antutu benchmark is about 44k.
And when at full sound only very few times the speaker sound cracks for a sec at the start of music.
and even mp4 video file format doesn't play with the system player but plays with MX.
How to differentiate orignal or not.. tried ##786# *#*#786#*#* both shows nothing and tried launcher pro and it also doesn't shows hidden menus RTN.
is there other way.. please guidance needed.

The htc m9 has been "living" with me for almost a week now and I have a few noticeable problems. First of all, the charging time does take a significant time. Like a whooping 6 hours or a bit more. Well, that's a bit too much. Changed charger and socket still the same. Haven't tried the original charger yet. Planning on to. The firmware is the 2.10.something.something. and the other thing is a small thing that kinda bugs me. The charging estimate time doesnt appear. Any way to make it appear?

I have an Acer Z200 smartphone and recently it is pretty much dead.
It started out with having charging problems (I would try and charge it but the battery just kept draining).
I have tried looking for a solution online, and I found out that many other owners of this smartphone have had the same charging problems but there really isn't a solution.
I think the most likely cause of this may be the battery died; but I also have some doubt in that because I have had past smartphones where the battery stopped working and you could usually see that the battery inflated a bit in size. With the Acer phone, the battery looks in pristine condition (although, that still doesn't mean that the battery isn't the cause of course).
If anyone has a solution to this, please reply ASAP.
Thanks.
