[Sprint LG Optimus G] zaner123:
Not only did you not answer my question, but you did not even help guide me toward an answer. I'm looking around thee "dev section" (which one? there are two?) and I don't see answers to my questions. The search function on this site is horrible.

The purpose of the Q&A section is to ask questions and receive answers.

What is your problem? :confused:

BTW: I ended up rooting/unlocking and it was very simple. I do not think there is any downside at this time.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indulgentu:
Hello,

I have a Vonino Luna 70C tab with Android Ice Cream 4.0.4. Today, while watching an YouTube video, my WiFi connection went down all of the sudden. After restarting the tablet, I couldn't turn WiFi on anymore: the status button was going from "On" to "Off" all by itself and the message was stuck at "Turning WiFi on...". I've tried several methods to get this fixed, yet none of them worked. Any help is much appreciated! I have to mention that I bought my tablet yesterday, so I doubt there's anything wrong with the hardware.

PS: While logging the connection process with LogCat, I ran into this error: "failed to read proc/net/wireless/". It spams it a little bit, after which it returns a fatal error: time out. I've tried creating the directory myself, hoping that it would fix the problem, but I cannot create it. (I have to mention that I am not on a rooted device.) Can it be something related to permission issues?

Thanks in advance,

(I am sorry if this is not in the right place, I am new here.)
[Galaxy S III General] Vlad_M:
I want to experiment with flashing different ROMs and kernels, but I would like a quick and easy way of restoring my stock 4.1.2 ROM with all my settings/apps if I need to. I tried to do this with Titanium Backup, but after flashing back to stock I had to wipe data and cache and when I reinstalled Titanium backup there was no apps/settings.

Is there any way to make an "image" of my default environment which I can then flash from recovery?
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Create a backup(nandroid)

You will need a custom recovery installed, doing this will give you a complete system image and restoring it will put your phone back to the exact state it was in when you made the backup
[Galaxy S III General] Vlad_M:
Thanks, I have made a backup using CWM Recovery. I also selected the "create image.zip" option - I assume that I can flash that .zip and be back to the current state after playing with some ROMs?
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Not sure about that option as I use quote an old recovery that doesn't have that option unfortunately, so can't help you there
[Galaxy S III General] Vlad_M:
Ok, I made both backups (the normal .tar and the image.zip). One more question though - the last time I flashed the stock ROM (using Odin), I had to wipe data and cache because the phone got stuck in a boot loop. If I restore from backup and have to wipe data and cache again, won't this render the whole restore useless (i.e. I will go back to default state)?

So what do yall think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biscuitownz:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madmajd:
The Vinyl sticks really well, and it feels just a bit more slippery than it used to, but I have no problem with that

[Sony Tablet S] notuo:
Hi all and happy holidays to all.

I have some videos (mp4 & avi) I like to keep in my tablet S but after I upgraded to 4.0.3 (release5a) last week I cannot see it any more. The issue is those videos where playing fine before that, now I can hear the sound but I get no image at all.

I can play the same videos in my google galaxy nexus (4.1.1) phone.

Any advise (beside report this to MOBO, already did) is appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb91:
Hi there

So this is my first android device and i was wondering if there's an actual advantage when you completely close apps (swipe them off in the multitasking button screen), as opposed to just let them keep running in the background.

Will the phone use less battery / be faster if you swipe the apps off there? Or is there no noticable difference at all?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fissurez:
Yes.

also easier to multitask.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aletto:
IMO, you should let the built-in memory manager do its job. Free memory is wasted memory, so it will be filled with something else. In fact, the phone could be even slower, especially if you reopen the app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
I don't believe (swipe them off in the multitasking button screen) actually closes/exits the app. I believe it only removes it from the history of open apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
It would help if for example, you are loading a huge web Page, your signal is bad and u lock your phone. In the background the app will be active = battery + wakelocks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokeun1234:
Closing app will theoretically increase the battery life, but I personally didn't notice too much on battery unless I have like huge game or page loaded up on the background. I close the apps anyways because it makes multitasking with the recent menu much quicker and less cluttered.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letom:
Usually it will close the app in the sense that when you restart it, you have to begin from its home screen. I do this when I do on Facebook, say I try to load something and give up, instead of simply going to home I'll close the app. The reason being is because I find Facebook just continues to try do what it was doing after I've left if, and if I have bad signal or its just being plain stupid it will just continue and start eating up cpu time. So I guess you can close apps to ensure its not trying to run user actioned tasks even after you close it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
the multitasking view is an exception though, you can safely use it as its not the same as forceclosing, it simply sends a couple of events to the app and it can heed them or not - it may give androids memory manager a hint on what you need and what you dont, though (which should in theory make it better, not worse or slower). well and youre not multitasking at all if you dont use swipe out, the entire function will become a meaningless/useless bunch of apps without your management.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darll:
Closing apps can have its advantages and disadvantages..For instance...The Netflix application continues to run in the background even after clicking exit from within the app...The only way to completely close it is by swiping it off on the recent apps tray or by using a task manager

ADVANTAGES:

More free ram= no lag

Less open apps= lesser battery drain

DISADVANTAGE S:

Closing an important system app can cause lags or other problems.

Some user apps that run in the backgroung e.g widgets... will restart automatically thereby making your processor work more

Basically, the best way to handle this is to close only apps you no longer need to use and never use autokill feature built into task managers except u are sure the essential apps are in the task managers ignore list..

After posting on Sony's website and didn't get a reply...

1. I can't send/receive files through file explorer via WiFi Direct, just like how I did on my Galaxy Tab :/

I am unable to use WiFi direct to send or receive files, just like my friends who are using Galaxy S3 Then... what's the point of having WiFi direct?

2. When I went to settings>display>brightness and i ticked "adapt to lighting conditions"

the brightness of the screen doesn't change even if I turn off the light in my room and when I turn on the lights Initially, I thought there wasn't any light sensor for my Xperia V, which I think was impossible. So I went to check out the Xperia V's White Paper-> http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/lt25i/whitepaper_EN_lt25i_xperia_v.pdf

and I read till "** There is no API for the light sensor" on page 6. Does that means, the light sensor won't be working? :/ Even if I want to use some sensor apps found on the market, most of the apps, can't detect my phone has a light sensor

when I use app to detect the "lux" of the lighting, the app will say "no sensor" detected :(
