[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartoi:
As someone who has switched to the Nexus 4 from the AT&T S3, these are my thoughts.

Cons:

- No removable storage.

- No LTE (not that big of a deal imo)

- No Removable Battery (never removed my battery, so don't care)

- Nexus 4 is made of glass, and slides off almost everything.

- Screen is less sensitive (I've frequently had to tap multiple time for it to be registered)

- Better battery life on the S3 (but I haven't had my N4 for very long)

- No hardware home button on the front (this is a nice convenience imo.)

- Better Camera on the S3

- Louder speakers on the S3 (N4 is barely audible in the shower)

Pros

- N4 feels so much better than the S3. Swiping feels superb, holding the phone feels great, and the N4 looks much better than S3.

- AOSP Out of the Box (I didn't think this would be a big deal, but I've been using the phone unrooted and wow, its like everything just works how I want it to.)

- Direct updates from Google (no more waiting on custom roms and leaks)

- Better Screen (everything looks a lot more realistic and better imo)

- Faster (everything is so smooth on the N4 and I haven't seen any lag or stutter yet as I did [rarely] on the S3. This creates a better experience.)

My experience with the Nexus 4 is that it just feels better to use than the S3. Its something you have to try for yourself I guess.

Personally it would be cool. But I didn't by an android to run windows. Its the same reason I sold my iPhone and bought android. I saw all the cool thing my wife could do with her phone. But I've read w8 phone is better then windows phone. It kinda like iPhone owners wanting to run android. If you want to run android on iPhone or w8 on android go buy that phone. If you can afford it of course.

[Xperia Arc General] u.b.o.o.t:
Hi folks,

I'm trying to remap the hardware buttons of my rooted Xperia Pro with stock ICS 4.0.4, but there are some quirks that trouble me.

Basically, I want to

1.) remap the language button on the QWERTZ hardware keyboard.

2.) Prevent the camera button from unlocking the phone - just press power to show the lock screen, then hold camera button, the press home key and you'll see how easy it is for the phone to unlock in your pocket.

So far, I parsed through the keyboard layout files in /system/usr

I remapped key 368 in pm8058-keypad.kl to CTRL_LEFT, which did not seem to make any difference! Language button still invokes language dialog :(

I also modified quertz.xml and qwerty-en.xml by replacing META_LANGUAGE with META_CTRL_LEFT - did not make any difference.

Of course, I rebooted the phone inbetween...

Regarding 2), I have no clue. Butting WAKE_DROPPED behind CAMERA and FOCUS in pm8058-keypad.kl does not help.
[Xperia Arc General] kyanox:
I could use some help with key remapping as well. If I find some info i'll send it your way.
[Xperia Arc General] u.b.o.o.t:
No progress for me so far... anyone?
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
I want to re-map the 0 (Zero) key and the OK button orientation on the PIN Lock feature. Any info what files I need to change?
[Xperia Arc General] u.b.o.o.t:
I GOT IT!!! partially at least....

Reading through http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-character-map-files.html and http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html once again, I finally found something that pointed me into the right direction!

I order to make my change to the Language button work (remapping key 368 to CTRL_LEFT), there are two possible ways:

1.) Set hardware keyboard to FULL keyboard type by replacing "type ALPHA" with "type FULL" in /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm

This will make the hardware keyboard work without any additional GUI, so pressing shift will allow you to select text and copy&paste via ctrl+a,c,v,x now works :D (This still depends on the app you are using. Some do ignore this, some will still work with menu+a,c,v,x instead)

But beware:, in order to enter numbers or upper case letters, you now have to keep the modifier key pressed.

Printable characters can be edited via /system/usr/keychars/pm8058-keypad.kcm, non-printables like modifier keys can be edited via /system/usr/keylayout/pm8058-keypad.kl

Android keycode names can be found here: http://source.android.com/tech/input/keyboard-devices.html

Until now, I was unable to create a solution for entering special characters like ä,ö,ü

I tried to via sym or meta keyword in .kcm file while mapping the Sym key to SYMBOL or META_LEFT via the .kl file, but it didn't work...

2.) The .xml files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/layouts are used only with the keyboard configured as "type ALPHA". In order to identify the correct .xml file, you have to parse through the files in /system/usr/keyboard-config/languages and look for the script keyword, which in conjunction with the declarations in /system/usr/keyboard-config/keyprint.xml will tell you to the layout xml file for your device localisation.

Now, in order to remap printable characters, you have to edit the correct layout xml file and for non-printable characters, you have to edit the scancodes.xml file in /system/usr/keyboard-config.

Unfortunately, shift-selecting text will not work with "type ALPHA" mode and it seems that editing scancodes.xml is not sufficient to remap language button to CTRL_LEFT, but the .kl file has to be changed, too.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nadastry:
Hi.

Can anyone tell me the battery useages of CM7, Longhorn 2.9.3, MIUI and DSC 1.7 compared to each other?

(Assuming using the newest phoenix kernel on the CM7s and MIUI)

With WLAN not used very often - means switching off via Quickmenu when not needed.

Thanks in Advance

[HTC One S] immortal_warrior:
Hi all,

Today was a tough day for me. I bought a T Mobile HTC One S in India (It was unlocked).

When I started using it I found that it did not connect to 3G Network.

So I thought may be installing a new ROM would help.

So, I Rooted my phone with the help of such useful posts on xda (Thank You all for Making it so NOOD Friendly)

But, the ROM did not start, it stuck on boot screen (THAT STUPID UNICORN)

I waited for hours, but NO SUCCESS...!!!

After doing some wrong things, I BRICKED my phone. It only started CWM Recovery.

But, by TRIAL & ERROR, I fixed my phone right back.

FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU ALL THOSE AMAZING DEVELOPERS ON XDA WITHOUT WHOM THIS MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE

Now, I decided that I should post something so that people like me would get some help.

Here it is:

STEP 1:

1. Put your phone in BOOTLOADER mode by pressing volume down+power

2. Download AIO Kit from HERE

3. Extract it and Run it.

4. You will see a Flash Recovery radio button.

5. Select TWRP from above list and click on FLASH RECOVERY

6. Once it installs. Repeat the 1st Step and put your Phone again in BOOTLOADER mode.

7. Press volume down button and highlight RECOVERY and press power button again. You will enter recovery.

I followed all those above steps as instructed by the best posters on XDA (THANK YOU ALL).

Now when I tried to mount sd card, it said error mounting sd card. Then I again searched all forum and tried everything but I was unsuccessful.

I was worried as how was I going to put a ROM on my sd card so that I can put my ONE S back to normal.

I also used "adb push" syntax and tried to push the ROM on sd card, but it was a failure. The ROM transferred to sd card but it did not install since it still showed "error mounting sd card"

(IF YOU HAVE FACED THE SAME PROBLEM WHAT I HAVE WRITTEN AND YOU ARE STILL TRYING TO FIX THAT MOUNTING OF SD CARD ERROR FOLLOW THE STEPS I HAVE WRITTEN BELOW)

AFTER THAT I FOLLOWED THE FOLLOWING STEPS AND MADE MY MISSION SUCCESSFULL

8. Click on MOUNT USB in the recovery mode. You will see that you laptop / pc will come up with a message that you storage has errors and you need to fix it.

9. Click yes and format it. (You will see later that it was your phone sd card)

10. Once the format is complete, copy the ROM you want to the device and you will be flashing it later.

11. Now, click on UNMOUNT USB. Remove USB Cable

12. Now get out and click on INSTALL in TWRM Recovery.

13. Browse where you pasted the ROM.zip file and start installing it.

14. After successful installation your HTC will boot normally.

AND DONE...!!!!

I would highly appreciate if senior members of this forum modified what i have written in a better way. (SINCE I AM IN A HURRY)

If I helped, PLEASE DON'T BE SHY TO SAY THANKS...!!!

THANK YOU ALL THOSE VALUABLE MEMBERS OF XDA WITHOUT WHOM MY HTC ONE S WAS NEVER GONNA GET BACK TO NORMAL

Is anyone else having big battery drain since updating to JB? I used to get 2 full days now i can't get 16 hours my phone is staying awake. I'm stock unrooted using juice defender plus. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
I don't get as much battery I get about 8-14 hrs with 2-4 screen in time I use to get 10-20 hr with 3-4 hr screen on time. I hope they realise a update to help fix the issue seems like quite a few are having.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xerigen:
Yes. I suspect you're probably having the same problem as me. Ever since upgrading to JellyBean, the battery is horrible. Checked BetterBatteryStats, and it's because of msm_otg, it's constantly hitting the device with kernel wakelocks. If I look at CPU states, my phone has been in 384 MHz for 97% of the time, deep sleep 0% of the time. Since it's not sleeping, the battery is draining much faster.

It has something to do with USB on-the-go, but I can't figure it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vdubtx:
I am having opposite experience. I am getting incredible(to me) battery life. Fully charge yesterday at 430pm and this morning after a bit of texting and calls, battery is at 80%. Pretty good and should be able to get at minimum 1.5 days usage out of it at current rate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akarol:
Also, disable Google Now. That's known to be a huge batt drainer.

Sorry for the noob question but how do you disable Google now, never used it so don't know which one it is. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xerigen:
This still didn't fix my battery problem. But you'd go to apps -> Google -> Settings -> Google Now. Press the on/off switch at the top right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rsol0328:
Thanks, we'll see how it goes from here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ripley6:
Did notice my battery was draining more before JB. Once I downloaded JB my battery seemed to drain worse. Finally figured out it was Nova launcher, so switched back to TW and battery is back to normal, with google now on, mainly just get traffic and weather for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rsol0328:
I apologize for posting in the wrong section. The battery drain continues even after disabling Google Now uninstalling Facebook, pandora and other apps and turning off gps, bluetooth. Andriod OS is staying awake and killing the battery. In data usage delete apps is running in the background at 43 mb? Anyone else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
For me it started with LI3 then into JB.

I noticed Media was at the top of my list when i checked what apps were using battery.

So i ended up disabling the com.sec.android.providers.downloads and so far i think this has helped get my device back to normal battery life..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I don't like any apps that are supposed to save your battery. they usually contribute to battery drain. get better battery stats and see what's causing wakelocks. it's probably location services related to google now. when you don't need it, turn off gps AND location services

Here's a possible problem http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21871-ro...y-build-discussion/page__st__2690#entry750372

I would be more concerned with partial wakelocks first, then kernel wakelocks second
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rukin1:
enable restrictions and make sure your wifi isn't when not needed same with your Data. if you don't have 4g, turn on only CDMA data. went from 50% every 4 hours just to 15%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
Facebook has always been a huge battery drain. Especially now that messenger is integrated into it. Friendcaster Pro is much better anyway
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ointaylor:
Exact same issue for me. I will try this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Arion02:
I have had severe battery drain for a few days now. I disabled google now yesterday and that didn't change anything. My phone was constantly warm. Today, I turned airplane mode on and the battery still drained. It got down to 58%. I read somewhere in this forum that the google maps update was causing some battery drain so I uninstalled the update at 58% battery life. Three hours later I had 57% battery life. So, for now I can only assume that it was google maps that was consuming my battery. I will have to try updating maps again to make this a more concrete assumption.

Was this after you rebooted your phone?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Majorzaid:
Location Services?

I have had my Galaxy S3 for a week now. Battery life stabilized after the initial syncing, etc. I updated to Jelly Bean v4.1.1 two days ago, and battery life didn't seem noticeably different. However, that was until today. My phone was off of the charger, around 10AM, and had < 5% charge by 4:30PM. I was very busy, so I was hardly using the phone all day. It was in my pocket or on my desk most of the time. One of the only settings I changed last night, was enabling 'Use wireless networks' and enabling 'Location and Google search' under 'Location Services' in 'Settings'. I just disabled both settings, and will see if the battery drain is any less tomorrow. Also, Google Now was off, and was never enabled on my phone. I'll try to post the results, if at all possible...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aquariex24:
Well the phone scans your media after every reboot. You can force stop the Media Scanner or if possible wait until you're home or somewhere you can afford to reboot while letting it do the media scanner and not have to worry about losing more battery than normal. But if you are out and don't want to lose the extra battery but have to reboot, I would just force stop it. I've done it before without any problems. For me, the media scanner usually runs 20-30 minutes after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sn1per420:
I've been having similar issues with poor battery life recently. I used to be at ~40% when leaving work around 6:30, but now it's down below 20% if I don't charge during the day. Screenshot attached, showing my battery down to 46% at 2:10pm, and Maps has used 23%, even though I haven't opened the Maps app since my last reboot (Monday morning).

So I guess we're just going to have to wait for a Maps update? I'm debating not rolling back updates, since charging at work isn't too much of a problem.

Edit: Running stock JB, not rooted, using Apex Launcher
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IAmSixNine:
Ive gone back to my EVO LTE untill they can get this fixed. Its not crippling but very annoying. My Stock Sprint GS3 4.1.1 has the media bug in it. Anytime i power off my GS3 and turn it back on the device will use about 50% CPU usage for 30-45 minutes. I put my device into airplane mode with WiFi on. See the attached screen shots. The device was left alone for 1 hour 46 minutes.

Notice the Media power consumption. Notice the CPU Total time and Stay Awake Time. See how fast the battery drains the first 30-45 minutes, then it levels off quite nicely. I can understand some extra power consumption when a device is first turned on, but this is bad..

Hi guys

Its the first time i have actually had the need to post up on XDA this site has been perfect for everything i have needed. Im empty after searching and need some help. Once again many thanks to all the developers and techs that have helped in the past. I have a new one and a fix i would gladly donate for.

Firstly heres the phone and its basic specs, its like a bigger Samsung galaxy s 3 largly rounded corners, white camera and LED on left of front speaker and im not sure what its a dark blue oval shape on the right of the front speaker.

Its a china copy i get my oem gear from the same place as they are honest reliable an stop me from buying anything low grade.

CPU: MTK6577, Cortex A9 dual core, 1.2GHz

ROM: 4GB

RAM: 512MB

DISPLAY: 5.5"

TYPE: QHD, capacitive touch screen

RESOLUTION: 90 X 540 WITH 1600K COLOURS.

CAMERA: 8MP

with the rest of the normal specs 3g,wifi ect ect

now the fancy stuff.

MODEL NUMBER: e1901_v77_gq2002_5647_notv

ANDROID: 4.1.1

KERNEL: 3.0.13 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 29 10:52:49 cst 2012

BUILD: E1901_V77_GQ2002_5647_NOTV_20121006

If i power off, press VOL- POWER i get the normal chinese test menu, if i goto version heres more info.

as well as the above displayed is

BAR CODE: 0909JL_211838

UBOOT: 2010.0

KERNEL: 3.0.13 (root@abc-desktop) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC)) #1 SMP PREEMPT

SW VER: ALPS.ICS2.MP.VI.5

CUSTOM BUILD VERNO: 1348887190

Now normally i ask for firmware she points me in the right direction, thats if i dont find it my self, with these china models sometimes its best to double check the models ect.

In this case i searched, asked her searched again asked her and ended up with nothing yet.

I cant get them as yet.

By death i needed root, it was not rooted, theres no CF-ROOT, superoneclikc didnt work and theres no info for it. I done more digging and found a handy options Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v3.

This gave me root and i smiled, i thought huuuray CWM here i come atleast now i have a backup.

CWM not supported it wont flash,

I really would like a kernel with cwm built in or at the least a cwm image file for this device thats safe to push through with fastboot, i would be happy to donate to a developers for there efforts and time .

Its a quality phone all round so im sure development will happen soon enough anyway, maybe this is a little nudge :)

Thanks to all.
