Update: Don't know what went wrong the last time, but now "keyguard off" does have an effect: The same as "Unlock Keyguard Ad". I get to the desktop, I can start apps, but if if I select e.g. tasker from the system bar, I am prompted for the password. Cannot see a system here ...

Also, "clear password" now has an effect: It sets the PIN to empty, but I am still prompted ...

Same issue with password on encrypted device

I was thrilled to find this thread because I'm facing the same issue of having trouble disabling my lock screen with an encrypted device.

My excitement turned to disappointment when I realized it's been over six months with no response. Did you find a solution? Does anyone have any insight into the best way of preventing the need to enter a password on an encrypted device?

What exactly does gamma do?

I read somewhere that you can tweak gamma settings with no effect on battery life. So you can turn the screen brightness to the minimum and raise a color setting to make the screen contrast better.

It seems to be a popular feature in kernels, but what exactly do people aim to achieve by changing their gamma settings, I don't get it...

Thank You! I think that pretty much halfway answers my question.

Now I wonder the effects of gamma settings on battery, and what brightness/gamma configuration is more 'eye pleasing'.

Is there a general consensious on what that configuration miht be on the Nexus 4 or will I have to play with settings to find out my own?

There's a few presets that you can find on xda but in reality they'll all need tweaked a bit. Like the other guy said, every screens different.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
No effect on the battery. This phone has an LCD screen with a backlight, so no matter the colours, the battery drain is the same. The only possible side effect is of your gamma tuning leaves your screen so dark that you have to bump the brightness, which could affect the battery.

Anyone has an idea of how to disable media scanning? It's annoying and drains battery
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
What ROM are you running? I think if you disable it your pictures and music aren't going to show up in their apps. Usually if you manually force close, it won't eat you battery.(in settings/apps/all/media storage, depending on ROM)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] darkynk:
I'm on smoothie v3 beta 2 and I don't mind that I can't see my pics and music I just want to be able to disable media scanner on demand but also enable it when I need it. Do you how? Mabey a app?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Maybe you can freeze it with titanium backup pro(or find a free app if there is one), but I have no idea how. It might also cause other problems so be careful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squarooticus:
I originally noticed this on my Galaxy Tab 7.7, but it affects my Galaxy Nexus, as well.

Over the course of weeks or months, the 7.7 would become increasingly unstable, rebooting spontaneously at a greater rate until at one point it got into a bootloop. At this point, I booted into CWM recovery, adb'ed in, and ran e2fsck against /system, /data, and /cache. All three were corrupted, with a lot more errors than one would expect simply from an unclean reboot. I wound up formatting cache and system, re-flashing the ROM, and then e2fscking -y /data and keeping my fingers crossed.

A similar thing happened to my GNex. In this case, I rebooted into recovery, adb'ed in, and fsck'ed all three partitions, which came up clean. "Strange," I thought. So I fsck -f'ed them and lo and behold, corruption on /cache. Formatted it, rebooted, and it's been stable since then.

How can these ext4 partitions possibly get corrupted? I have a hard time believing I have two bad flash devices. And anyway this isn't the first time I've had a problem: I had similar problems with my old Galaxy 1 (Captivate).

I often wonder how much Android device instability and the resulting general complaints are a result of this kind of gradual degradation in filesystem integrity. I know a lot of pissed off users who've switched to iPhones simply because they don't want to deal with having to wipe their phone every few months to get it back into a good state, something I've noted isn't even possible for a non-tech-savvy user in some cases. Case in point: CWM recovery's behavior in mounting /data before wiping (to save some stuff) when the process of mounting itself causes the device to reboot. (See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34456723&postcount=1607 for more details.)

This is the sort of behavior that has to be rock solid in a device that is intended for the general public.

Yes, I'm just venting, though I am curious as to others' thoughts.

Hi. You have custom rom ?
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
Hello Guys,

I have a major problem with my HTC one X .. Let me tell u the story from the beginning. I was installing a ROM a specifically this one and I installed the kernel and all fine .. The phone booted and it was working perfectly but there was a problem with the keyboard that whenever it runs it crashed and I couldn't fix it. I said I will restore my old ROM that I saved with the recovery mood while I was installing the new one. I restored it and everything was restored perfectly. Then I got another ROM this one and I installed it ... I copied the zip file to the sdcard and then I restarted my phone in the fastboot mode to install the kernel and install the ROM as usual. I installed the kernel of the ROM using fastboot and then I entered to the recovery mood to install the ROM and complete my installation. BUT when I entered to the sdcard from the recovery mood I found nothing !! as if the sdcard has been formatted ... or as if someone deleted some files .. I couldn't find my ROM.zip though I am sure I copied it .. I couldn't find anything ... I tried to restore my old ROM and fix the issue but when I tried to restore I got no file found the ClockworkMod is not able to find the backup image as I am not able to find my backup image ... Now the phone is not booting and I don't have any access except to the fastboot mood and the ClockworkMod recovery. Is there anyways I can reach the sdcard to copy a ROM and to install the kernel to be able to boot .. .. or how can I boot and fix this issue. Please help me guys . ...:(
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ow first thing : enter the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device/usb diskdrive

When you mount the sdcard as a mass storage device in the recovery .... is there a sdcard\O dir ?

If so copy it all from that dir back to the root of the sdcard !
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
I can mount the sdcard from the recovery but I can't see it in my computer ..I can see it from the recovery only .. but It doesn't have the ROM .. so how can I copy data from my laptop to the sdcard
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then you might have pressed the wrong option in the recovery .... There are 2 sorts of mounting options in there.....what recovery do you have ?
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
Here is my recovery: ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.2.7
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah that's the reason, flash this one first and try again

http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs

;)
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
Ok I am downloading it .. but don't u know a post of how I perfectly flash it because I don't wanna miss up more with my phone :D
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Do this

Rename my download to recovery.img, put the file in your fastboot folder, put the phone in the bootloader. Open the command window in the fastboot folder on the pc and type

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash boot boot.img

Fastboot erase cache
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
is it flash boot boot.img or flash recovery recovery.img
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Sorry my bad !!!! :banghead::banghead:

Its been a long day

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

:cool:
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
Thank you Mr Hofs all worked great I had access to the sdcard and I was able to flash a new ROM but now I have some problems ..

I flashed the cyngmod rom and it worked pefectly but when I install gapps the keyboard stopped working and many applications .. would u mind if u suggest me a good jb 4.2.1 ROM + gapps that u tested which stable and working perfectly .
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I never tested a single CM10 :p but did you install gapps directly after installing the rom without reboot ? Otherwise try the CM10.1 seems pretty well in my opinion !
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
I installed CM 10.1 and I rebooted .. all was working great but I don't have google play or anything .. I rebooted to the recovery mood and then I installed the gapps .... that "they said" it should work perfectly and then I rebooted but they keyboard keep crashing and the googplay ... simply .. I can do nothing :S :S
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Wipe, flash ROM, then without rebooting, flash GApps and reboot.
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
Same exact problem !!

here are the steps exactly

1- erased the cache

2- Installed the kernel

3- erased the cache again

then I went to recvoery mod

1- Install ROM

2- install gapps

3- reboot

when I rebooted keyboard is not running and it keeps crashing !! :S :S
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Wiping cache will not do the trick. Use the wipe/factory reset option in recovery before installing rom and gapps.
[HTC One X] the_Storm:
I did .. I usually before I install the ROM I wipe

1- data/factory-reset

2- cache

3- delvik cache
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Also wipe in mounts and storage

Format cache

Format data

Format system

To be sure and then install the rom.zip
[HTC Droid DNA] HosstaLaVista:
Okay, so i'm using this guide to relock my bootloader and i've gotten to the part where I must enter in the command "fastboot oem lock." My phone just sits at "waiting for device." I read somewhere that the USB connection might not be 100% in the phone, so when I adjusted the plug, the computer unrecognized the device and I cannot do anything. The connection comes and goes as it pleases.

Hello, I'm currently using viper xl 3.2.3 and I wanted to use the elementalx 4.4b kernel but everytime I flash it through TWRP I get bootlooped the settings I use are overclock 2000 and underclock 875 mv what am I doing wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Venomtester:
Are you on the HBoot 1.14? You may need to use gui or adb to flash the kernel.

Some kernels are hboot 1.14 friendly and some are not. It states: hboot 1.14:

The installer includes a method to flash the boot.img on hboot 1.14, however, some people still have difficulties. If it doesn't work, extract boot.img from the zip, reboot to bootloader and do:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Note: you must still run the installer to set options and get configuration files!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] lastrastuff:
I hate to bump, but I ran across this problem as well, and what I found that worked was to do a backup of my phone through TWRP then I flashed the custom kernel, then did a restore. It still read my kernel as ElementalX as my kernel in my about section. I'm not sure if this is a fluke or something, but it seemed to work well for me after I kept getting a bootloop.
[HTC One S] mlippie:
Hello,

A friend of mine asked me to root his phone. He has an HTC One S (S4). I unlocked the bootloader using HTC Dev, flashed TWRP recovery and installed CM10.

I installed CM10 by flashing it in the recovery and then I flashed the boot.img using fastboot. After that I also flashed Gapps.

Btw the phone has hboot 1.06.

The first day everything went fine but then his phone suddenly started vibrating and went back to the homescreen for no reason. When he tried to open another app it just went to the homescreen, started vibrating again and it opened the app switcher. After a reboot it worked well for about a minute but then it crashed again.

Anybody got any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance,

Maxim
[HTC One S] Speeder975:
What CM10 ROM did you flash exactly? Something may have been screwed up in that one build.

I used the stable version, 10.0.0. So I don't think that that is the problem.

I guess you won't notice a big difference of the screen size...the 5 inch displays of the Sony has to show the buttons at the bottom. On the HTC One they don't "count" to the display.

[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
Ultrapixel is just a marketing term the sensor is as big as the sensor in the z but has far less pixels, which is for lots of reasons better, especially for a phone, coupled with de IS it is bound to be better than the z. I think it is a smart move from htc especially for a phone.

The htc one is absolutely gorgeous, the best looking phone I've ever seen, extremely premium aluminium uni body, with what will be the best screen on any phone this year.

[Xperia Z General] stefanve:

any way probably a better phone.
[Xperia Z General] Warrimonk:
I honestly really like both phones. There will always be advantages to one phone over the other, but honestly (unless you are a complete pessimist) both phones should be able to keep you happy for around 1-1.5 years minimum.

The thing that I want to understand is the HTC One Capacitive Buttons. You have home and back... but where is menu? Menu is probably one of the most essential buttons in android. Hopefully (this is what I would do) hitting home once would bring up menu, and double tap will go home. Something along those lines. Nothing I am really worried about anyways (AOKP will fix it haha)

I do not really think UI is something to get in a heated debate about... once custom firmware hits you can put whatever you want on. Personally I am going to rock stock AOKP on any phone I get.

Same goes for storage.... Sure XZ has a micro SD slot, but there aren't any micro SDXC cards bigger than 64gb (and might not be for a while), so really the difference between the HTC One and XZ is 64GB vs 80GB at maximum.

The only real criticism I have for Sony is the delayed North American release for the Z and especially the ZL. HTC revealed the phone today and will release in a Month. Xperia ZL was revealed in mid January and wont come out till April. There is no point to reveal an amazing new phone and then release it once it is old news. Shame on Sony for that.

Both phones are awesome, just go for the one you prefer.

Battery life is something I am finding more and more confusing with Android phones. How is it that the HTC Butterfly gets a better battery life test during video streaming than the Xperia Z by over an hour, yet has a 13% smaller battery, same processor,same GPU, and same screen resolution. This seems completely counter-intuitive.

Now for my personal opinion. I prefer the outer design and features of the ZL over the HTC One (I like the idea of as little bezel as possible), however I prefer the One screen and speakers. Not going to make any decisions till the Galaxy S4 comes out.
[Xperia Z General] redandwhitearmy:
Just saw camera samples of "ultrapixel" phone... seriously not convinced (they have just made photos from old sensor clear)...compared http://blog.gsmarena.com/here-are-the-first-samples-from-the-htc-one-ultrapixel-camera/# this snap with my old 5mp carl zeiss sensor in nokia n97( similar shot i took of my watch back in 2009)... and BOOM! HTC has gone back 4 years

maybe it will be better if they had released 8MP with ultrapixel... obviously pixels will not remain big and so called ultra pixel will lose its meaning...

well in long run when reviews come out this may not pay well for HTC.

.... happily go with XZ ...

benchmarks are only 5-10% better and that too only due to higher clock CPU .... i m not convinced with snapdragon 600 too .... it did nothing brilliant... over s4 pro... (i dont know if it saves more power)

but then obviously its my view of the summary... lets see what happens... XZ has its own flaws too.
[Xperia Z General] Akiainavas:
Do you guys really like the UI ? Can't say i like it... especially the drawer. In this aspect Sony's UI is much better for me ( if they got rid of those hideous grey rectangles in the drawer - it'd be perfect for me as far as Android can go, and in terms of UI i'm a big fan of Windows Phone's consistent, simple and clear UI )

Hmm... they're not bad, but certainly nothing "ultra" here. Let's wait for some more camera tests.
[Xperia Z General] vapotrini:
I think it's gonna be more than 5-10%.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=floH0ASIglU

Don't know which to chose myself. I think maybe if the One has good battery life, I'll go with it.
[Xperia Z General] stefanve:
I think they are quite good, for a phone hardly any noise, but still a phone no matter how cool the sensor tech (and indeed this is just going back to basics nothing new going on) the lens still sucks, if the lens suck the photo quality sucks it's simple. really great photo's on a phone is just not going to happen (if the phone needs to be thin)

It has the same GPU as the s4 pro, it is a marginal update, maybe it will perform better in some cases. the 800 series will be a different beast.
