[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benzmar:
I read in one of the thread that disabling Contacts helps. I've NOTE 3, and my battery drains so badly that I am so embarrassed that this NOTE 3 called to be beast comes only for 2-3 hours after full charge. I am heavy user and my Corporate Mail syncs everything.

I disabled Contacts and I could see improvement. My phone comes for 4-6 hours now. Disabling Calendar is not good since its so essential if you are using it to see your schedule everyday of your life.

Need your help to know if there are any other way to extend battery life?

Is it 4.3 android bug or even 4.4 KitKat is also facing the same issue? I didn't had this issue in NOTE 3 when it was 4.2.

Hi!

non stock kernel to LB

I have question after ICS (XU) We can root and can add CWM recovery.

Is it possible to change kernel under recovery?

If this is possible can somebody make a kernel zip?

[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
Ok, I have had this phone for 2 days now, and still don't know how to get it to show up as a USB mass storage device. Is there something that I'm missing here?

I have all the updated LG software installed. All other connection methods seem to work. I have even tried a widgetsoid switcher to force the issue, but that didn't do it like it did on an older phone I had.

It would sure be nice if this was an option in the USB menu. How hard would that have been?
[LG Optimus G (International)] johntr10:
I am wondering the same thing. I got around it by using the MicroSD card in a card reader but it would be nice to do it though the phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] dpvu:
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think native support for USB mass storage was discontinued in ICS. Some companies still provide it but it's not natively included anymore.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
I really hope someone corrects you if you're wrong, because if you're not, that would be the most disappointing news of the year.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
Don't you just go to settings and then pc connection, just select media and then hit cancel when its trying to sync? Shows up as 25GB mass storage for me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
Do you mean the popup on the phone? "Autorun is running to check USB driver"? If so, I tried that, but no dice.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
Go here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LS970 and get the USB drivers. Uninstall the ones you have if they are not the exact same, then reboot. On the phone select PC Connection in the System Settings Menu. Set the USB Connection to Media Sync (MTP) and check Ask on connection. Leave everything else off. When you plug it in it will say its checking USB driver, just hit skip, and it should mount. It may mount and unmount, then mount again.

This works for me.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
You should update Windows Media Player if running on XP
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
Those are the exact drivers I have.

I have this "sort of" working here on my home PC (Windows 7). When I am connected as MTP, the phone shows up in My Computer and Device Manager under "Portable Devices". I can go into the internal storage, and move, cut, copy, delete files, but it's not even perfect because if I want to do something as simple as open an excel file, modify it, and then save it, I can't. Windows instead asks me to save in some temporary directory because it lacks the capability to save the file directly on the phone. Which is a major hassle.

On my work computer (XP) I have these drivers installed also, and I have also installed WMFDist11-WindowsXP-X86-ENU.exe since it asked me to. Following the same steps as above, upon hitting skip, nothing happens. It never shows up as a removable drive or portable device.

There has to be an app for this or something...
[LG Optimus G (International)] theMaDHakkeR:
Try dual mount widget.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
Well, it physically cant be mount as USB storage device, cause it will ruin files.

Unlike many other phones, The G dont have the Storage Card partition.

All your files are stored in /data/media, and mounting entire /Data/ partition as USB Storage will ruin the OS cause its being used by it.

There a folder called /Sdcard/, but its just a trick for old android apps, so all this stuff still actually stored in /Data/Media/
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
didn't work... any other apps that might do it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
wow, you're right, everything I sent to my phone shows up in the /sdcard folder and also in /data/media.

why on earth would they do this? one of the best parts of android phones was that they were essentially giant usb sticks.

is this an absolutely insurmountable hardware issue? or could a new ROM/OS fix it? what about an app for creating a partition?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
First of all, they did it cause of usual lacking of free space for the apps. Now you can fill all 25gbs with games and other stuff.

Second, the FAT32 just too old and bad. Since the G doesnt use the FAT FS and SD card, G doesnt have the file size limitations, pretty stable and got high write speed (Must be class 20)

I believe its must be possible to run as USB Storage from the custom recoveries, when the OS is not running.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
I imagine that it will be able to do that too, but that's not very useful on a daily basis. I need it when the OS is running.

I used to use my phone to take files to work with me and back so that I could open and edit them at home. I never dreamed they would get rid of that functionality.

so no app is going to be able to take some of that space and partition it as an sd card, then?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Tim4:
But you still able to do it, dont you?

The only limitation of the MTP - you cant execute files directly from PC.

Also there an app called File Share, which probably solving that issue by sharing via WiFi, not the mtp.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
i'll look into File Share.

and yes, technically i can open an excel file, edit it, save to my PC, then copy the new version onto my phone, overwriting the old one. but that's a major step backwards from where we were at three years ago.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
looks like File Share wouldn't really do it for me, as both the phone and the computer would need to be on the same wireless network.

at home I have a wireless network, but my PC is wired.

at work my laptop has wireless capability but there is no wireless network.

My phone can be a wireless network, though. So an app that would allow my phone and work laptop to share files through that network, would do the trick.

Or, I need an app that does the opposite of Link2SD. Link2SD takes some SD space and uses it as ROM. I need an app to take some ROM space and make a virtual SD out of it.

Does something like that exist? I bet if it doesn't, it will soon!
[LG Optimus G (International)] Mangala_Dharma:
I really like Airdroid, simple to use, I use it on a linux computer wich is aweful about mtp file transfer, for my sister's S2. It might be an option to consider while other development occurs.

Wow! Awesome app. Does exactly what I need. Thanks!
[LG Optimus G (International)] WarEagleUS:
Late reply but I don't have this issue.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
You've got to be kidding. So you plug in your optimus g by usb, and can browse the contents of your phone in Windows explorer? Can you open a file, edit and save?
[LG Optimus G (International)] WarEagleUS:
Yes. Lol. In fact I can plug my LGOG OG Triple OG in either my front USB 3 or 2 ports

(The first time) and on Windows 8 Pro X - 64

and instantly my phone was recognized and the correct drivers were installed. It was pretty awesome because I'm coming from the SGS2 and we know how finicky Samsung's USB drivers are. I had nothing but issues on Windows 7 and 8 with those. Killing my Windows 8 activation every time. LGOG is good to go from the start. Select PC software and it opens 3 windows, one of which is internal storage. The other 2 you are familiar with.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
What do you mean, "select PV software"?

And when you say one of the three windows is internal storage, are you sure this is just a windows explorer window that's as efficient and user friendly as working with any other folder on your PC?

I am thinking no. I get an internal storage window too, but it does not work like Windows Explorer, it is much slower and more limited.

My only explanation for this is that you have to be mistaken in some way. This phone can't do mass USB storage like older Android phones.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
Mtp is way safer than mass storage.things are harder to break.
[LG Optimus G (International)] phoenix_rizzen:
That's using the default MTP access, not USB Mass Storage. There's no support for UMS in the LG ROMs, and Google has removed it from Android 4.2 completely.

You can tell it's using MTP because you can access all your apps on the phone while it's plugged into the computer and you're browsing aroud the storage via Windows Explorer. That's not possible with UMS ... only one device has access, either the phone or the PC, not both.
[LG Optimus G (International)] seventieslord:
Ahh, you’re on AT&T, aren’t you? On LG’s site, the AT&T tab says:

*

• 1.5GHz Quad-Core 4G LTE Smartphone

• Clear 4.7” True HD IPS Plus Display

• AT&T 4G LTE Network*

• 32GB Total Memory (16GB Internal + 16GB preloaded

microSD card, expandable to 80GB total with an optional

64GB microSD card)

• 50GB Box Cloud Storage**

And the Sprint tab says:

*

• 1.5GHz Quad-Core 4G LTE* Smartphone with 2GB of RAM with up to 13hrs talk-time

• Advanced 13MP Digital Camera

• Clear 4.7” True HD IPS Plus Display with Corning

Gorilla Glass 2

• Mass Storage 32GB Internal Memory, plus 50GB Box Cloud Storage**

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/optimusg/index-sprint.jsp

*

Appears the AT&T version has an SD card slot and the Sprint/Rogers one doesn’t. I would assume if you have an SD card then your phone would be capable of USB mass storage on a plug and play basis through windows.
[LG Optimus G (International)] WarEagleUS:
That was a typo, it should have been PC Software, thought you may have caught on to that. With mine it has 3 windows, and the one I am talking about is smooth and very fast, not limited at all. .

As for MTP being safer, I prefer USB Mass Storage I mean I can do what I need with my phone but eh, I like seeing it all. Funny thing is Android seems to rebuild the secure folder on the phones. (I have erased that folder on my SGS2 trying to get past the encryption on my phone that Android ICS messed up and locked).

Yeah but we got boned on the camera if you ask me lol.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ESEMCE:
This is the problem...

To mount as UMS, the file system would have to be unmounted from the phone so it can be accessed by the PC. Since there is no separate partition for the Phone OS, you can't unmount the file system from the phone while it is running, cause the phone would crash.

For Linux users (like me), this is a pain, but there are steps to improve MTP on Ubuntu. 13.04 has native MTP support and 12.04 and 12.10 can add the support http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/upgrade-to-gvfs-with-mtp-support-in.html

The best workaround for the OP could be Dropbox which supports local file transfers on the same network.

Provided the phone is connected to the Office WiFi, saving a file on a PC Dropbox should sync over the LAN with Dropbox on the phone (and also on a home computer over the Internet).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tranquilmist:
I've been searching for an Epub reader that supports embedded audio, but so far I've had no luck. I'm under the impression that this is just something that's not supported in Android yet, but a co-worker told me they thought it was something that was supported.

Let me add some extra info as well:

I'm working on an ebook, and trying to embed audio tracks. I've searched and can't find much info on making this work with android, or whether it's even a supported feature. I know epub2 didn't support it, but epub3 does.

Any insight into this is appreciated.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clau22bv:
Curently been using miui 2.11.16. I just love the miui interface style. The problem is that I'm experiencing a lot of force closes (maps/camera/calendar) or just random freezes. As far as I read this room is compatible with ARC S (+0.4 ghz no big difference curently im running at 1.2ghz) and as I saw in a lot of comments free ram is decreasing with each update (I have around ~100 free with maps uninstalled and no other programs added). Also I cannot apply any kind of theme to it and games (2d ones like fruit slice amazing alex etc.) also randomly freeze/force close.

1.Is this a case of incompatibility or just a version issue?

2.If you are running Miui with no problems,please tell me your current version.

P.s Running Arknight 4,bb77,and got the 0% battery issue if that even matters.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clau22bv:
Yes It Is the latest version. And I actualy did wipe clean and flash it 2 times,even formated the sd card -_-. I think this is a version issue...

Very Important Thing I forgot. With this version XLOUD seems not to be working (no difference with it on/off with reboot and the sound is very low (speaker) on headphones is ok. Is this a baseband issue or rom or kernel?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damaz78:
I'm using MIUI v4 2.11.16 w/o any issues and it installed on my Arc on 1st attempt. I'm on KTG 1.52 anzu kernel.

I'm using the official version with my native lng. (translation) add-on (available on official MIUI funsite for my country) plus some additional mods (e.g. increasing internal memory with ext4 SD card partition).

Have no issues at all. All works stable and fluently.

As for X-Loud in latest build (2.11.16) - it definitely works for me.

As it may be important: with each upgrade to newest build I do full wipe (data, cache, dalvik + I always do format the system partition). With MIUI's built-in backup engine getting back to all personal data and settings makes no problem at all for me.

Hope this helps or at least leads to discover your real prob.

I have been rooting and installing customs roms on my Verizon Galaxy Nexus without problems.

I just purchased a One V to use as a media player and want to get rid of all the software that is on it and install Jelly Bean or a custom rom with Jelly Bean on it.

I have the phone unlocked and rooted. I installed TWRP recovery.

I cannot seem to boot into the recovery by just holding the power button and the down volume, it goes into safe mode.

Also, I see all the ROMS are not listed with a GAPPS so where do you download them? Can I use 4.2 apps that I use with my Nexus?

Also, there is an additional step where you have to "extract" a zip and install after installing the ROM and Gapps. What is that and where do you get it.

thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
If you have more than one dameon control installed they may conflict with each other and revert back to "stock" at start up. Are you using set cpu to overclock? Does your rom have overclocking abilities in settings?

Lastly, did you see an option 'set on boot'
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
According to what you've said, its most likely due to the powerhal. The stock powerhal reverts back to 1.3 GHz after a while no matter what you set it on. Best thing if you want oc is to flash imoseyn's 1.5ghz powerhal found in his rootz thread

I'm on stock rom but LeanKernel, I'm trying to overclock with ROM Toolbox PRO but it keeps reverting to 1.3ghz, 1.5ghz is used if I overclock everytime I restart but then reverts when rebooted.

Yeah I think your right here mate, did a little bit of research over last few days and it seems PowerHAL is the culprit.

Could you explain what that PowerHAL is and how it effects overclocking etc?

Im guessing its like the native frequency setting?

What i did is :

1) i did system recovery on my laptop to remove all driver before the problem happened.

2) i connect my neo v phone and it is detected and install new driver for this phone.

3) i connect my x10 mini pro to install it driver, But Nothing happened. Not detected. Only charging.

Then i tried in reverse way after recovery on my laptop, i connect my x10 mini pro first, its not detected. Then i tried connect my neo v also not detected. Seem that x10 mini pro is source of the problem.
