[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hdsousa:
Hi all,

So, the topic is ... i have currently these accounts syncing and present on my phone list:

- Exchange server (all my private/corporate contacts)

- Google/Gmail Contacts (very similar to exchange, with a couple of less detail)

- Linkedin

- Facebook

- Whatsapp

What happens after a full reset is that i have to merge again and again all the contacts to have a single view of one person with all the accounts linked. Currently i have merged all the contacts via the join feature, and its ok. The topic is:

Is there a way to create a single list of contacts with all this info put together (merged and synced), backup all to google, so that in my next format, i can sync with gmail and have all perfect for use, without the need to merge all things again?

am i been clear in what i want?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
I get what you mean. I've always just ended up merging them again anyway.. you might wanna try backing up the contacts storage app and restore data only on tb afterwards? I'm afraid I never tried backing it up but seems reasonable.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer03:
Have you found a solution?

I have the same problem, after a full wipe I have to link again some of my contacts.

thanks in advance for any help//

I plug the phone to the charger and nothing.. its completely dead.!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MoJoe277:
Most likely installed rom version for a different device. There is no "new" version for our note i717 that i am aware of. So your best bet is JTAG for about $50 at mobiletechvideos.com.

JTAG is your next option.......very sorry, but you likely flashed the wrong device rom, as stated in the post above mine....g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] milicigoran:
If you can't get into download mode you bricked your phone. If you can get into recovery as stated use Odin and flash your stock version that you can find on the Internet.

Im wondering if the file is labeled incorrectly...

We have seen that issue in the last few weeks...

So is download mode gone for Sure? ??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
The link is good but there are no ROM downloads for the newest release for the I717 at the moment. There is for the N7000 and I777 though. Sounds like you installed a ROM not made for the I717.

Sounds right ....

That's a shame ....

JTAG for sure ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spiderman3k:
Well I meet with a guy that fixes phones.. and he had a jtag thingie.. its just a micro usb plug with out cables??

Anyways he did put that little gadget and try to turn it on. But nothing..! And showed me how it works with my friend galaxy s3.. it goes from off to download mode.. but on the note does absolutely nothing.. so what are my options????? Use it as a Paper weight?

That would be a jig which will not help you. You need JTAG which I suggest you take a look at mobiletechvideos.com

U can try once again and flash a diferent kernel ! May be it would help:)dont wory

Yes, you can recover your phone. Just get your fifty dollars and phone to the JTAG guy and it will be back in a week.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Best of luck OP....

It's a bad day when a device locks up ...

I joined XDA after thinking I knew more than I really did.

I was helping a friend with root on an HTC evo.......and missed a critical step, causing a hard brick.

No JTAG there ....so I said I'm sorry, and we got in my truck and drove too the Verizon store.

$375.00 later, he was up and going again.....(and I was much lighter in the wallet )

Ever since, I've been here trying to help others to avoid the same mistake I made.

Since then, I read everything 5 times before using it, and I'll even contact the developer if I have questions.

I'm never afraid to ask questions, and I stop if that "feeling" hits me with doubt.

Please post here when the phone comes back if you can.

We hate those bricks, but we love a good success story too ....g

I created a home screen folder today by dragging icons on top of each other. But when I dragged one out (Twitter) I now have a permanent Twitter bird stuck on all screens!

Any suggestions on how to get rid of this? I uninstalled the app and everything but it's still there, and then accidentally did it again with Google+!

I have a nandroid backup (of course) but it's a few days old, so I'd rather not roll back to that if I don't have to.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosenuggets45:
[Q] Battery life terrible, despite trying all the supposed "fixes", hardware problem?

I got my N4 a bit less than a month ago by this point. I've rooted and tried most ROMS from stock to CM10.1 to PA, etc. However, my battery life is consistently not so good. Coming from a One XL on CM10, I was used to bad battery life, but I expected the N4 to be better.

I don't have any screenshots, but here are my averages:

Time on Battery: 10-14 hours

Screen on: ~1.5 hours (usually, never have gotten over 2.5)

Android OS kept awake: ~1-1.5 hours

I know I'm among the group of people with the problem of Android OS keeping the phone awake, and I see all of these kernels attempting to fix the msm_hsic_wakelock issue, but I'm still having that as well.

I'm always on auto-brightness, Google sync on (calendar, chrome, gmail), Google Now enabled, etc. I'm also always on data, usually 2 bars + (the signal never gets worse than yellow on the battery graph.

Lastly, on wifi, all of these issues are gone. My idle battery drain is also phenomanol on wifi compared to data or even no wifi + no data. In about 8 hours I drained ~8% even with the data off.

Any ideas? I'm getting really frustrated. I see people claiming 2+ hours screen time or 20+ hours on battery on stock phones! I'm nowhere near the average battery times.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Android OS is not keeping your phone awake. It's one of those crappy apps you have installed that are causing a wakelock causing the phone not to deep sleep.

Download: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809

Use it to debug partial and kernel wakelocks (primarily partial wakelocks). Check CPU states using that app or download CPU Spy from play store.

It needs to be deep sleeping.

Google Now: Disable cards that you dont use.

Turn off auto brightness and adjust it to your liking (CM10.1 has a feature if you long press on status bar it will adjust its brightness so you can do it like that).

Use Franco Kernel r23 (it's the most stable one, if you want to experiment you can try r26).

Google Maps: turn off Google Maps Latitude and its automatic reporting of your location and uncheck auto reporting in your location.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5iaWdleWVzMHgwLnRyaWNrc3Rlcm1vZCJd use that app with Franco Kernel (or buy his app) to adjust its kernel settings.

http://zephik.com/upload/Screenshot_2012-12-14-19-05-58.png is a screenshot from last month. Pretty good battery overall for me.

Press the thanks if I helped. Will reply back if you have any questions or follow ups.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
I've been on CM10.1 nightly 1231 for 3 days now and I can happily say that my battery is much better than before.

I've averaging 24-28 hours with 3 hours screen on with data only and usually charging at around 10%.

Always Enabled:

All Location Services

Google Sync

Always Disabled (except when needed):

Google Maps/Latitude location settings

Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS

Google Now cards that I don't normally use

Some things I've noticed:

- When I flash a new ROM and restore my TiBu (flashable zip or regular restore) I find that my battery life is average at best.

- When I flash a new ROM and fresh install my apps from the Play Store my battery life is good to great.

- Third party kernels can sometimes be wonky on this phone. I haven't tried Faux or Franco kernel since flashing 1231 because I've been getting great performance on CM kernel.

- When my kernel CPU is set to "ondemand" the performance is average at best. Changing it to "interactive" has helped improve my battery life... with no other kernel tweaks involved.

Apps like Facebook and Facebook Messenger seem to cause issues with my battery life also. When I was on CM10.1 nightly 1223 I had Facebook Messenger installed and my averages were 12-14 hours off battery. So by eliminating a few apps on fresh ROM installs I've been able to see the different effects they've had on my battery life. Basically any app that uses GPS can potentially be a battery hog even when the phone is not in use.

So from my points above are also some of my takeaways. Try a fresh install and watch what apps you install. Try a few different kernel governors (esp if you're on a custom ROM). You can improve performance by trial and error!

Good luck.

EDIT: zephiK's points above are also valid and I can confirm they've helped my battery life also.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I agree 100% with Facebook. The facebook app sucks your battery life HARD, especially if you plan to have it refreshing intervals. The app continues to request GPS location, so therefore because of that I disable the GPS on my phone completely (its that bug where if u have GPS globally on your phone you see it on the top left of your screen, and it doesnt go away). I leave FB all notifications off and manually sync it by pulling up on news feed. It's either that or check FB via mobile webpage.

Another thing I forgot is your refresh intervals. Make sure your apps don't have it on like syncing every 5/10/15/30/45/60 minutes. Set it to a couple hours more. using a twitter app? instead of having it sync in the background, just manually do it so you get all the missing tweets all at once. No reason to have it sync in the background randomly.

+1 on interactive. on Franco kernel it uses Interactive as it's default governor and it includes a lot of the latest interactive patches that really help out. It also includes qualcomm fixes with msic (not 100% but its better than stock), and newer drivers that will most likely be included in the next OTA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosenuggets45:
Thank you for the replies everyone. In regards to all of the fixes you've suggested, I've tried all of them in the past week or two based on hours and hours of reading. This problem even exists on a freshly installed ROM with the bare minimum apps.

Now that I think about it, I wonder if there may be a problem with the radio in my phone. I live on a farm with an AT&T tower, yet I'm only getting "ok" signal, when I should be getting perfect signal. Called Google and just ordered my RMA, seeing as this battery problem has persisted from the day I first loaded up stock 4.2.1 on the phone upon receiving it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you constantly have a low signal, that will drain your battery a lot, because it has to boost the signal and that needs a lot more power.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
This would have been useful in your original post. Obviously "worse" signal is going to cause more drain on your battery. Hopefully it's just a flaky radio for you but if the replacement has the same issues then it's something else and you should keep at it until you figure it out! That's half the fun with these phones. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
My only concern was that he said android os was up there, so that means he has a app preventing his phone from sleeping.

personally i wouldnt take a RMA on poor battery life but as a result due to signal.... but yeah signal does play a huge factor in your battery life

no it just boot loops and thats it i can get it to come on every once in awhile and just now i got it to and so i turned it off to try and it started boot looping again so i finally got it to regularly boot up and so i download rom manager to rebot into recovery which worked so i formated and tried to re flash the room when i rebooted it just got stuck on the samsung logo and didnt do anything for thirty mins so once again i tried to reboot and it just now goes to boot loop but freezes with the battery logo and loading symbol and thats it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
You downloaded rom menager to reboot in recovery lol..use home+volume up + power to enter recovery..in recovery whipe all and if you have problem with that rom flash some other.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] th35at4n1c:
no butthole that was the only possible way to get it into recovery because if i turn it off it just starts boot looping again. now the only thing it wil do is go into download mode and thats it period it freezes even when it tries to boot loop
[HTC Desire X] Izzy Stinson:
Hey guys im just playing around with my new phone and I check on settings>power>battery use and I find out my 'screen' is 59%.

It is not that big of a deal but would better if it only takes at least 40% and below. That would make the battery life last even more.

I already test on removing all the HTC widgets on sense and try to reduce the brightness a bit but that's the minimum I can get which is 59%.

I'm new to HTC phones, so could it be the sense launcher?

Or maybe freezing or removing sense and use other launchers instead such as nova, the screen usage might be reducing even more?
[HTC Desire X] SaadCrackz:
The best Thing to do is...

You have to freeze and disable htc sense and use go launcher ex. Its The Best Launcher With More Themes and If You Want The Sense Look Again Search for Go Launcher Sense 4.0 Theme
[HTC Desire X] Gnaver:
Well to be honest, go launcher will make it more heavy. The launcher is really bloated and full of crap. Better use apex, nova, holo or adw ex.
[HTC Desire X] Izzy Stinson:
so its confirm that htc sense cause this? okay then im gonna freeze it :D
[HTC Desire X] Izzy Stinson:
agreed. i have been a go launcher user for 2 years and now im switched to adw launcher because of the crap they added. but now im on ics, my preferred launcher would be nova

I just modded Google Ears v1.1.8 to be transparent.

Want to test?!?!

Download here for armv7 devices

With the libs from dog121 version here for other devices

Just push to /system/app and set permissions 644 or install like a normal apk.

Widget not showing up!!!!!!

Just delete or uninstall the apk and delete directory "/data/data/com.google.android.ears".

Then push or install the apk again.
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] dog121:
It will install. And widget is fine but it force close every time you attempt to use it

Uninstall google ears, delete directory of google ears (make sure you don't have other google ears installed), reboot and push apk to system/app and fix permissions 644 and owner root.root.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErrorCode680:
I've got an Atrix 4G that was originally locked to AT&T that I unlocked when I went to Europe for a while for use on European SIMs. Do I still need to use the AT&T options for the various files used when unlocking the bootloader and rooting? I'm on 4.5.141 if that's relevant. I also assume that my phone will remain carrier-unlocked regardless of whether I unlock the bootloader/root/install a new ROM?

I tried a brief search, but didn't really see much directly relevant to my question. Thanks in advance!

Search is your friend.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErrorCode680:
While I appreciate your response, you didn't actually answer my question. I also noted that I did search (and read that thread) and found nothing directly relevant.

I realize that unlocking the bootloader and carrier-unlocking aren't, in fact, the same thing. What I don't know, however, is whether the carrier unlock happens to affect anything else on the phone; sometimes one change on a system can have much more wide-reaching effects if you don't really know what's going on. I don't have a whole lot of experience with mobile systems, so I don't know if things like that happen often or at all with them, hence the question.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inspiredwire:
Yes and yes, but when in doubt, choose ATT (especially when returning to stock Blur, either with an SBF or fruitcake).

ROMs like CM7 are carrier agnostic, but you'll need to add your relevant APNs and flash the proper radio.

Carrier unlock is permanent.
