I'm on ICS - international stock release via huawei website. Shall I upgrade to this 4.1.2? what will my handset gain from upgrading? faster? less bugs? better app performance? tell me. Or is it better to wait for a more stable release.

Gotta agree, Nova all the way. The settings don't look like ass either.

Nice surprise coming soon.

What could it be?
Waiting...

How soon is soon, today, tomorrow, this week? Argh

Something important, left the phone overnight with wifi off, 3g on i belive and it drained about 30% battery. Went into battery stats and briefly saw *wakelock* taking up the large majority of it, before it vanished. Not sure if relevant..

[carrthee89]

Mainly gps location wakelock And Android system Alarm manager wake Lock

Thanks for that info. Do you mean this app/utility originating from xda-developers?

There seem to be a few others - not sure if any of them work on CM10? I must have a play once I get R5 installed...

I always flash zip file from xda through CWM.

guys just put 2g on when you put your phone on standyby.

it resolve the problem

Hi, I don't see how this is a fix, surely a smart phone needs a 3G connection, I can understand sticking it to 2G when you know your not going to use it. But what about if you want to use an app while your on the go? Like Google Navigation or other apps that need a data connection to run.

In my case I've noticed that if I use an app that really needs 3G and is consuming a lot of Kbps, like TuneIn Radio, I never had a reboot.
Reboots happen when I leave it on the table, with only perhaps weather and email app that's using a small amount of data occasionally.

I've had it a few times while using google navigation. I guess it could happen in any app and not necessarily while the phone is in sleep mode.

Tasker does it, and a lot more

Llama also does allows you to automatically turn off 3g when the screen turns off (and then turn it back on when the screen turns on) for free. I haven't had any reboots since I set it up to do that. It will also allow you to do it in specific locations if 3g-related reboots seem to occur in certain places.
It's similar to Tasker,  but uses mobile antennas rather than gps to get the location. I also use it to wake me up when I get to my stop on the underground where gps doesn't work.

Really looking forward to this:

Thanks a lot for that suggestion.

So... No R6 yet is what I gather from that transcript? Was hoping for a fix on the battery issue.

[lejkabasz]

16 hrs on battery, left 30%.
All day Wi-fi was on and brightness in -40 to 15% range. Twice better then without Lux.
Very nice, discluding crash when i tried 2 use "funny faces" in camera.

It does work in background but try to send/receive anything other than text and 3G suddenly makes a huge difference.

Worth a try if you're having issues with 3G and I'm not.

Daz how do I do it?

[wards5150]

Notices a strange issue after r5 update. Pics from apollo not showing anymore. Anyone else had this or know how to fix?

Correct, yes 2g is a data connection, though too slow for the needs of a modern smartphone.
