I'm non-rooted and totally stock. I heard about some people getting north of 4 hrs of SOT but I thought it was a myth. Posted from my Nexus 5

I use the pre-set options in Battery Widget Reborn. Indoors, I'm at 10% and outdoors at 25%. . Posted with my Nexus 5

This just randomly started happening. When making calls, I hear ringing and right when the other person picks up, the phone automatically ends the call as if I hit the end call button. Same thing happens with incoming calls. I have full bars when this happens. So far, I've tried re-inserting the...

I didn't realize such a simple switch could help increase battery life, particularly in stand by. I'm a happy camper :) Posted from my Nexus S 4G via the AC app

When using my phone for non-heavy tasks like web browsing, email and texts, the battery temps are b/w 90-95° F according to Battery Widget Reborn. Signal strength is good during these times and screen brightness is at 10-15%. The N5 has a reputation for running a little on the warm side so I was...

As far as screen on time is concerned. Sorry about the volume icon in the first pic :p

I'm currently using EZ Weather HD and while it looks nice, it seems to be a battery hog. Can you guys recommend other apps that are visually-pleasing but run lean? Sent from my Nexus 5 via Android Central App

I have a non-rooted N8013 and understand the official 4.4.2 update is available for manual flashing. I'm considering this option as there is no word on when the OTA will be pushed in the States. Some questions: - The newest firmware is KitKat XXUDNE6 but all the sideloading tutorials online are...

I lose about 1% every hour or two. This is with location services off and full WiFi & cell signal strength. Sent from my Note 10.1 via Android Central App

Got it yesterday evening. Haven't messed around with the phone enough to see any differences yet.

I've noticed the internet running slower whenever I do this, sometimes even dropping. Does bluetooth cause interference with 2.4 ghz wifi?

Seems like Mobiwol and NoRoot Firewall are the 2 most popular. Which one is better out of the two? Any downsides of using a firewall, e.g., decreased battery life, delayed notifications, slow speeds, etc? Sent from my Note 10.1 via Android Central App

There are many complaints about this across different devices; my Note 10.1 w/JB is also experiencing it. When the screen's off and the phone's idle, Google Play Services has multiple processes running in the background (mainly location services) that knock 3-5 % off the battery life every...

Just curious to see how many are using Android's built-in encryption feature. I decided to try it out on my Nexus 5 and Note 10.1. Performance and battery life don't seem to be affected.

How can I do this? Is there a place where I can find the ICS installation files? Jelly Bean is overall running very poorly on my phone and I need to get back to the relative stability of ICS. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Android Central Forums

Is anyone else experiencing this? I never had this issue with ICS; it started right after installing JB. I have all location services, GPS, and Google Now turned off. Besides Gmail, I don't have any other synced services. The above is strictly with the phone in standby and without any use. Why...

Windows has a scanning tool that checks and attempts to correct any hard drive errors; does Android have something similar built in or apps available do this?

Hi Guys, My phone recently started having these random wifi disconnects, even with a strong signal. The drops would be for a few seconds at a time; afterwards the connection would be reestablished. I assigned my phone a static IP address and since then I haven't had any drops. Doing this may...

Hi Everyone, I have a Netgear wireless router that has a USB port to attach an external hard drive to it. All computers in my house can access the 1 TB drive I have except my NS4G. I tried using apps like ES File Explorer but they couldn't even detect the drive on my network. How do you guys...
