This is such a great app for live TV (UK) Freesat channels.

But I thought it would be excellent if I could browse the web while watching/listening to the news, or QI on DAVE :) etc.

So here it is for our great Notes :). I don't think there are any other tablets that can do this!

I modded it to work as a multiview floating app, and it works great.

Install, launch from pop up bar, switch to cascade view, select your channel, open channel (not app) in full screen, pin it, now you have a floating re-sizable TV on your tab :)

As I say works great for me on JB 4.1.1, I hope it works for all, let me know.

***If you the app already installed, remove it first...

Enjoy :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
Hello hello!

So, I've had my evo for ages, (ages in modern tech terms of phones evolving, not an actually long time by human means) and, long story short, got a new phone, don't have the new phone, back on the evo.

I have the twin turbo GTR ROM and the battery life on my phone sucked. It wasn't the ROM, just letting you know that's what I have if it matters for this question!

So, I decided upon getting an extended battery. (I think 3500 or 4500 mAh, I can check when I get home, the case is fairly stuck on right now) and....I can't figure this thing out. The guide said that the phone will charge to 1,500, say 100%, but not truly be full, so you will need to leave it plugged in.....So I did, and upon unplugging it.....dropped, 99, 98, 97, all within about 10 minutes (normal for the evo, not for this new battery I would assume).

So, how do I make this work? What's the trick? I assume I can actually change the battery....settings(?) in the phone. I remember while in recovery seeing something about resetting the battery settings, and I vaguely remember something about DO NOT TOUCH THAT EVER UNLESS YOU KNOW WHY. Would now be a good time?

TL;DR; New extended battery, tips to get the most use of it? Also, since I am rooted and recoveried, what tricks can I do to make it properly read the new battery and it's larger mAh size.

****If you have a good ROM that you must recommend, or kernal, I am okay with that. I have no love for anything on my phone currently, kernel. rom, recovery, I'll replace it if you guys have good suggestions.

Thank you very much in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
First off, you want an SBC kernel on your ROM. Mason G if you have gingerbread, which you do, or Mason I if you're on ICS. Mazwoz's if you choose JB. Flash the appropriate kernel, charge the battery. Leave it on the charger for an extra hour for the hell of it and use it normally and let it drain fully. Recharge to full and it should calibrate. If not, there are plenty of battery calibration apps in the market.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
Awesome thank you! Also, if you or anyone knows, when i was using my evo last, they just started getting ics on it. I remember 4g was broken, and it seems now with the ics and JB roms, it's the same story. Are they planning on finding fix, or is it known that 4g will mst likely only work on GB? Either way I'll reflash my stuff, make sure I have the right stuff, charge, drain, and see how that goes. I would love to use JB simply to see if project butter helps my phone. The only phones I've used it on are at least 2-6x more powerful than my evo, so I can't tell how much project butter is helping, versus the few extra Ghz and cores.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
4G and FFC will likely never work. This device has been losing life at a steady rate. As far as JB, there are some good choices. With the proper set up and tweaking, it can become a daily. Well supported JB ROMs are evervolv, Mazwoz's JB, black bean AOKP, Baked AOKP, RemICS JB, and a couple others. All worth a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
Yeahhhh. That's why I switched to my S2 but long story short, here I am again with my Evo.

Have you used the JB ROMs? Does the project butter make it better than a GB ROM that is tweaked for speed?

I think tomorrow at work I may spend the day trying new ROMs so I may just see for myself, but input would be appreciated! Also, thank you for all the help so far :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soap:
I've tried most all JB ROMs. I even developed one. They run well but still not as well as original gingerbread. The 2.3.5 kind. Not the CM7 kind. Never really liked it. Personal opinion though. If you want a perfect Gingerbread ROM, check of Decks ReLoaded or some of MBQsniper's work. As for jellybean, try the ones I listed. You'll find something you like, guaranteed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlmancuso:
I have used all the jb ROMs out there. They are usable if you over look the small things. No FFC, GPS, a few glitches in video. Miui is not good yet. But most all builds before 4.2 are very good and 4.2 will be there before long.

If you want a good sense with all bells and whistles sense 3.5 works. Only glitch is htcfacebook.apk but FFC GPS BT everything works. On 3500 battery 1 get 24 hr heavy use 12 hrs streaming videos. Normal use 4 days and minimal use up to 8 days. Same goes for the sense 1.0 ROMs. For me I have not had much luck with 3.0 sense.

I have flashed almost everything out over the past 2 years I have had an evo.

As far as special tricks for extended battery there recall are none. Just plug it in and use it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianvillage:
I have seen a few people ask this question- (will project butter help my phone?) Well project butter isn't actually a thing, it isn't an app or a system, its more of an idea. And the idea is to make the system run as smooth as butter. You can't dig through your system and find Google.projectbutter.apk lol. It is optimizations and implications for ease of use within the new phones coming out, and likely what they implement won't help on our evos because of our aging out of date hardware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:
Are you sure? I know it isn't one thing, but I very clearly remember reading that google did some sneaky tricks to get things running more smoothly, but I felt like it had to do with just basically making the hardware work more effeciently than it currently was.

"How is all of this done you might ask, well Google have used a variety of methods to accomplish it, ranging from something called “vsync timing” (which is making sure there's a consistent frame rate across all screen drawings and animations) and triple buffering, which helps the over frame rates appear a lot better. There's also a nifty system that tries to predict where you’ll go next on your device and help you get there quicker; awesome. Project Butter allows smartphones to take a bit more power from their processors and allows you to step down on accelerate right when it’s needed. "

I read stuff basically like that. I suppose the more correct question would be, will putting a jelly bean OS on my phone make it run smoother than my current GB ROM. I usually understand that the newer ROMs on older phones tend to mean more lag and whatnot, but if the project butter tweaks make it run BETTER than the older ROMs, I may want to use it.

However, I am getting my S2 back tomorrow! That will have JB on it once it's back in my hands, and that thing was silky smooth with ICS so I'm not worried.

As a general question though, have people noticed differences from ICS to JB for speed, responsiveness, and smoothness?

If it's not recoverable, is it worth sending the phone back to the Carphone Warhouse (UK) to get it repaired/replaced. Can they tell it's been rooted if it won't even boot up?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatless:
Fair enough, worth asking.....

Given that you've tried more than basics, I hope for your sake you've not got nand corruption (seems to be S3 failure-du-jour), unlikely to recover from that.

The only good news is that if you are suffering that same problem (see SGS Sudden death thread) then your phone innards (or specific parts) will be replaced regardless of rooting, they simply don't care. Many xda members reporting the same thing.

Unsure what CPW will say but if you've exhausted the self-help options Samsung repair centre may be a good bet (you could always phone and explain what happened and what you tried since, they should realise you're technically capable and not bother checking the simple stuff). I was advised by 3 to go straight to the local Samsung repair (said they'd be faster), I do hope you've got one local to you.

At least there is a 2-year Samsung warranty on hardware.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedigger:
Wow. What a blast from the past!!

I did get mine fixed, but it involved sending the phone off to Samsung for a motherboard replacement (it was still in the warranty period).

If you google "Galaxy S3 sudden death", you'll get tens of thousands of posts explaining what the problem is. I believe, in a nutshell, it's because the firmware was configured incorrectly and rather than writing blocks randomly across the NAND chip, it overwrote the same blocks continiously and "wore out" the solid state chip. They fixed all handsets under warranty at the time, and issued a patch to all handsets which supposedly fixed the problem.

There's a huge thread on this issue elsewhere on XDA Devs : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/ultimate-gs3-sudden-death-thread-t1993044 - you may find that someone has a workaround, but my guess would be that it's beyond economic repair. :(

[HTC Desire X] KSKHH:
I would not suggest for S-OFF, that will avoid a phone brick. S-ON is good to have.

Scenario: Suppose one of your friend asked you for the phone just to explore it and accidentally he deletes files in system or data. Then your phone gone. You know what I mean.

You can create custom patch which can be use thru recovery and delete those files which you do not want. It bit complicated but safer.

Search here, there are software can create patches.
[HTC Desire X] azraelcelt:
just curious but could this custom patch you are talking about be used to emulate s-off ? for example Im pretty sure an official version of CM requires s-off, and s-off does allow you more freedom with modding plus if your worried about your friend accidentally deleting stuff off your phone then perhaps it would be best that they not use your phone and you keep a screenlock on it at all times ? as long as your careful with your phone having s-off is worth it (once someone has figured out how to do it)

You can try leaving the phone on AC charger overnight. Some people have reported that they managed to fix their phones that way.

Was it the official OTA update you installed? I suppose your device was not rooted then.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blewk:
My phone was on USB charge once ( actually plugged into the computer not the ac to USB issue people have been having) and because it thought it was charging it carried on as normal but the battery wasn't being charged fast enough by the USB to keep it running and the phone just died, no shutting down or anything dead with a flashing red LED the reason it did this was because the os thought it was charging even though it was discharging so until the battery actually ran out of juice the phone ploughed on. I immediately unplugged the USB and switched to the AC. The red light went off and the phone was silent for at least 10 minutes. I then with all toes and fingers crossed tried to start it again and it did. The red led lit up and stayed on for about 5 seconds and then burst into life. It really depends from how long you've had this red led if its been like it for a while I'd recommend a straight 24 ac charge with no interruptions. If that doesn't work I'm out of ideas :/ good luck Blewk

Bingo. Wi-Fi their was never designed to act as a range extender. It is for using a cellular connection to act as a hotspot to provide a Wi-Fi for devices that could not otherwise connect. As such, any time tethering is activated, it will, by necessity, disconnect the device from Wi-Fi.

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Buy a range extender, as what you're looking to do is contradictory to the functional design of hotspot apps.
