[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
Hey guys, as some of you know, 4G drains the heck out of the s3s battery. Some of you have a good build phone and don't experience however, I experience a drain of 16% in 4 hours while idle with 4G on and a drain of 3% with 4G off while idle for 6 hours. That's not normal but I bought my handset from eBay and can't do much about it except get an extended 4200mAh which I just ordered.

My question is, is there an app that I can configure to turn off data when the screen goes off and turn it back on when I turn the screen on. I do it manually and it gets a little annoying having to turn it on and off myself. Thanks in advance

This is exactly what JuiceDefender does. Some like it, some don't. I have been using it for a few years now and if set up properly, can extend your battery life (with regards to data connectivity) quite a bit.

See post 4 in my Battery Guide for how it works and my specific set up.

[General Questions and Answers] henrygo:
Hi Guys!

What is the definition of being Brick?

What happened:

It was low batt at 1% so i switch it off and plug in the charger. The moment the battery appeared, i tried to start it. However, i did not observe the subsequent event, and my phone now neither charges (no heat), not detected by computer nor respond even after i put in a working battery.

I had been on paranoid android for 3 weeks.

Suspect power low or power died on boot up.

Any solutions?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flying_dad:
Hi,

I would have preferred to directly reply to the relevant posts but they are in the developer forums where I am not allowed to post yet.

While (successfully) changing the Layout of my DesireZ for the unofficial CM9/ICS ROM I found out that the logs show which .kcm/.kl files are loaded:

adb logcat | grep builtinKeyboard=true

gives:

I/EventHub( 183): New device: id=4, fd=130, path='/dev/input/event3', name='vision-keypad-ger', classes=0xc3, configuration='', keyLayout='/system/usr/keylayout/vision-keypad-ger.kl', keyCharacterMap='/system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-ger.kcm', builtinKeyboard=true

However, I was unable to find out how android (ICS?, CM9?) determines the "name" (vision-keypad-ger). I did not find any option to change the layout of the hardware keyboard in the standard user-interface - changing the system language to english did not help...

Can anyone explain the mechanism how android determines which keyboard configuration it loads?

Thanks
[Windows RT General] tboy2000:
My Asus VivoTab RT 64GB is playing up and I cannot refresh or reinstall the OS as I get an Insert Media missing files error (see photo). Obviously Windows RT tablets don't come with external media with the OS.

I would be eternally grateful if someone could copy the recovery files to a usb (an option given in the OS) and then upload the file to either skydrive, drop box or other host for me to download. Once downloaded, the file can be deleted from the host. I think the file is between 3.5gigs and 4gigs. I could then re host it for anyone else who needs it.

Please, I have contributed a lot to the xda forum and would really appreciate some help.

FYI I had sent my tab to Asus for repair and it came back with the ability to not be able to refresh pc and I am furious. I don't want to send it off again and be without it again for another two weeks.

Thank you!
[Windows RT General] stevedebi:
Sorry, I don't have the tablet, otherwise I'd be glad to help.

I have the x86 Windows 8, and it has the option to create recovery media (I used USB). I gather this is how one would create the files you need? It is probably a stupid idea, but have you tried creating a recovery media (assuming you can get to those menus)? The recovery data should be somewhere on the disk, so it might work.
[Windows RT General] tboy2000:
I plugged in a usb to make a recovery usb but it only copies files to boot up and not all 3.5 gigs worth. The option to copy the recovery partition to usb is greyed out so I cant check it. :( When I use Disk Management, the recovery partition reports 4 gigs and is healthy so can't on earth figure out why I cant make a recovery usb. is there a way to show the recovery folder and manually copy the files? I uses security tab to get adminsterative rights to show the recovery folder in C:\ but the folder is empty.
[Windows RT General] stevedebi:
My system said I needed an 8 Gb USB drive (but recommended 16 Gb). How big is your USB drive? It may be grayed out because there isn't enough room on the drive.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Brave_Fellow:
So it should be here in a few days....I got it off contract, in case anyone is curious.

So what should I do first? I would like my interface to be as stock as possible. When I use stock devices, or one's that are close to stock (moto razr), I have a set up that I love. My Nexus 7 is perfectly tailored to my preferences.

So do I root and unlock immediately or would a launcher satisfy my crave for a stock experience? I also have read the auto wifi on/off feature kills battery....so should I NOT set that up (it's a feature I'd like to have)?

Also, I'm coming from a Verizon droid razr (not maxx hd pro 4 M...stupid moto). I loved Motorola's Smart Actions App and the ability to have multiple triggers for an action vs. just one. Will Tasker perform in a similar manner or is there a better app now?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
While I'm sorry I don't have answers to most of your questions, I would suggest rooting and bootloader unlocking (assuming you get the phone on the older firmware that is still rootable). Right now there are no stock (I'm assuming you mean stock Android/AOSP) ROMs you can install, but really, the LG interface isn't far off and is really pleasant in my opinion.

Installing a launcher like Apex or Nova should do the trick though.

The reason I suggest unlocking though, as there have been devs who said they are working on AOSP Roms, and we will hopefully also see some N4 ports.

I don't recall setting up the smart WiFi feature... pretty sure WiFi stays on even with the screen off and I am happy with the battery.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
First thing you should do is put a nice, protective case on it!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
A week or so ago, I was in your position. I'd suggest first reading the stickied topics in the "General" and "Q&A" sub forums. That will provide answers to many of your questions as well as informing you of what's possible with the OG right now. Armed with that knowledge, I was able to easily unlock and root my phone as well as install TheBase 0.7.3 ROM which, among other things, removed nearly all the LG and AT&T bloatware. I was then able to improve the phone's camera with another tweak, and now have Google Now installed too thanks to xsMagical and the Nocturnal dev team.

If you poke around, you'll see that there's all kinds of things you can do, and the directions are pretty straigh forward and explained in plain language. It all depends on what you want, and how much time and effort you're willing to spend. As time goes on, we'll be getting more and more ROMs, inluding (hopefully) a stock JB one. Don't be afraid to use the "Search" feature. Good luck and happy hunting.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] TangoXray:
lol... Agreed. Although, I haven't done so...

I'm using Nova Launcher with the animations slowed down and aosp like screen transitions. I really get that aosp home screen feel out of it. Also, trying out status bar +. Really, not in a rush for an aosp rom at the moment with this setup.

If you're sure about keeping the phone I would root and unlock right away. Both are extremely easy. Unlocking is even a one click step if you use the $1 FreeGee app! On that note do not do any At&t updates, since it's been noted that the latest one patches the root exploit. Also, both rooms we have now are working great. I'm on Nocturnal's rom and loving it.

Good luck.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Hey there,

I'm used to pull down the notification bar from any possible app (even games) on the sgs3.

I noticed it isn't possible on the nexus... Is there any mod or something for that? :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] molesarecoming:
its sdk functionality. if an app requests the statusbar should be hidden the framework has to do that in order to not get in the way of gestures and swipes on which the app relies. if touchwizz ignores that it would be a pretty evil abuse, something that should get them in legal trouble. i dont think it would be hard to realize but i know of no mod or rom who's got that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pratz852:
Oh I see thank you very much for the explanation.

I got pretty used to it as it was really convenient checking my notification bar without minimizing my current app. (Change music, brightness , GPS etc....)

Oh well will have to get used to it then.

WARNING CHANGING CSC WILL DO A FACTORY RESET!

You now have 3 Options

1. Use this app that hotsync100 made for us. See this thread <-------- Click me

All credit for the app goes to hotsync100<--Link

2. Manually read below.

3. Or use this app that bassie1995 made Link <--------

So I found out how to change the CSC on LLA fw.

Here you can find CSC zips to flash in custom recovery Link <-- Click

What you need:

*Some knowlege about adb or Terminal Emulator

*adb

*rooted phone

*Also you need backups, if using stock recovery you will wipe all so save your backups on PC

How to:

1. Open a terminal on PC (or use Terminal Emulator app from play store)

2. Type : adb shell (skip no.3 if you use Terminal Emulator on phone)

3. su

4. am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig

5. Choose your CSC, will take 3sec for the phone to reboot

6. Restore your backups

7. Optionally un-root.

As you can see I did not put so much time in this OP, if anything is unclear pls google and search XDA before asking :)
