Dosnt that just drain your battery?
No. It forces the GPU to run instead of the CPU. It works in a similar way as when you run a game, the GPU controls all the graphics while the CPU handles the rest. So the GPU should be used to handle the GUI, not the CPU handling processes and GUI. And leave the GPU doing barely any work.
Also certain apps will not run correctly, like the XDA app

Not only does it not do much it screws up allot of apps. If it was all that great it would be checked by default.

I really do not know what you guys are talking about. I have that option turned on right now, and it works PERFECT. Also, did you know the developers enabled that on GB? But did it do anything bad to the phone? No. Did you guys agree? Yes.

i think it is the default for aokp... i just looked and it was checked on my phone and i don't remember doing it (and i just flashed an updated build yesterday).
I've been using that setting for a couple days now. I've notice no ill effects. Seems fine.

Some pics don't show up in the xda app regardless, that has been an issue for awhile now. Has nothing to do with having that checked.
Are you saying it happens more often with it checked?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
The app itself should be optimize to take use of it. If an app can do it, it will automatically do it. I personally recommend leaving it unchecked for various reasons such as the picture problem stated above as well as not every app is coded to work with it properly.
Using the latest XDA app, premium or free.. do you guys still get notified whether its message or thread subscription??? After updating to ICS, I noticed it doesnt notify me anymore..
Idk what you guys are talking about. I've had ICS since the nexus s and ALWAYS tick 2d gpu with every flash. Its become second nature for me. It forces gpu acceleration throughout. There's absolutely no harm done by this. And if you say there is, send a log cat of the error to the dev because its the roms fault.

My phone sleeps like a baby for 89% on Bonsai v5.0.
This issue is usually something trying to sync and the modems being lousy on GB so far. Turn all syncs to manual, FB, Gtalk, emails, Twitter, all...and see if that let's it sleep. Also go into running services and see what apps are in memory. Stop ones that are not system and see if that does it.
Mine sleeps good on marcusiants rc10 rom... with ee03 modem, but wouldn't go into deep sleep with ec05 modem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The DK28 modem is also known for this on GB. Also removing brightness.apk or lcdtest.apk can also cause this. And I have seen it right after instlling GB KB from the market, that right a KB ould keep it from going into deep sleep. Once we can tweak the kernels this will all be a thing of the past even if it isnt fixed in the final release.
So yesterday I noticed that Google plus was removed from my device. I went to download it but it now says its incompatible......
when I look at the flash page in the market it says its: incompatible as well however is still installed. About half of the apps I view are apparently incompatible!!!
Has anyone experienced this before? How do I fix it and what the heck causes it?

You will see more apps available if you downgrade your market. Not sure the version. This is the best workaround I know, or do what I do. I just push my density to stock when I need an app or once a week to look for updates. All it takes is a quick edit and a reboot...

So I'm running a 2100 m a h extended life battery and I know I should be getting better life than this. I'm running 4.1 jelly bean on cdma phone, stock kernel. I also have the app killer checked on, and my screen brightness is pretty low. I've been having my wifi at home but still for 4 hours in 40 percent screen time that's really bad numbers. just wondering if anybody has any input

Uninstall your task killer, those do more harm than good. And download BetterBatteryStats to see what is draining your battery.
More likely it's your apps that are causing it to drain very badly. Any shady looking apps I would uninstall. And like above me, do those both as well.

What setting is this? And don't use it.
You may want to use the Better Battery stats application to check for wake locks.
Trying a different kernel may also help. The Faux kernel works well for myself.
Lastly, the standby time doesn't give as much insight into your battery life as well as screen on time does. What kind of screen on time are you getting?
Note: don't use task killers, and don't manually kill applications.

Media hub downloads to the internal sd and in order to see it you need to enable to view hidden folders
the folder name will be
.SamsungMediaHub
there will be a series of folders but the file will be a pyv file type.
My take on laggy video play is if it's HD or if it's SD. In my opinion the phone has a big screen but it's not big enough to distinguish between SD and HD. The phone has to struggle a little bit more to be able to play a video file that's HD and nearly 3GB (my computer even struggled with that let alone a phone)
The SD version is about 1.7 or 1.8 gb and I haven't had any lag issues on my phone while watching it.
That's all personal opinion and your entitled to shoot it down but it's all sensible

How do you enable the option to see hidden folders? Can it be done through root explorer. Also I downloaded both hd and sd but it doesn't give the option to pick which one to play so I assume it's hd playing since it's lagging.

Can you provide a list of apps that you have installed? It would help narrow down which programs have the permission to draw overlays and that would likely reveal the culprit. Also, have you tried disabling the Xposed framework to make sure it's not one of the modules you installed (doubt it, but worth the trouble)?

You've installed something recently or changed an app's settings recently. That is an output from a monitoring app. CPU, GPU, or something of that sort.
You need to check that app(s) and uncheck whatever seems to point to showing it.
