[General Questions and Answers] cee-ach:
So my mom's HTC desire C has a partially messed up display after a bit of water got in it. Only this one rectangle area on the left half of the screen is working properly, I have a picture attached to explain what I mean. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get the contacts out of the phone. The biggest problem is that she never synced the phone with a google account so the contacts aren't saved anywhere but on the phone. I was hoping someone here would know of a way to import contacts to a PC without having to touch the phone too much since the display is barely working. I've tried HTC sync manager but it'll only import outlook contacts for some reason.
[General Questions and Answers] renegade2k:
There are different ways to back up contacts with adb.

One is like

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db

This should backup the whole contact database to your adb folder on your pc

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Mostly depends on user set up etc

Only way is to try them and see, kernel more likely to affect gaming performance than anything, so a good tweakable kernel I would advise.

Read kernel threads, ask intelligent questions, ignore benchmarks and focus on "real" experience/feedback.

As I said already,, experimentation is the best way, flashing a kernel is so easy that it really shouldn't be any problem to do that.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waynesta:
Hello so I bought my N4 on the Dec 3 batch and got it around Feb, the works fine and all but I have 2 main questions

1. The phone gets hot doing simple tasks like browsing the web or watching a youtube video. I am running the CM 10.1 Nightlies and Franco's Kernel r110. Sometimes the phone can get really hot which I then stop using it to prevent any damage. Does this have anything to do with the Custom ROM or kernel because my friend's N4 is stock and unrooted and hes doesn't have any heat issues.

2. The battery on the phone is not what I expected. I hear people who get 4-5 hours on screen time, but I get around 2-2.5. Also I am on a Canadian provider which is Mobilicity if that has anything to do with it. I leave 3G on mostly and just surf the web when the screen is on.

Thanks for any input you guys leave.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HUAWEIu8652:
If you can take it back to stock and don't root because that is why your friend's N4 is normal besides what more do you want that the N4 doesn't have?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waynesta:
I like the root features and also cm 10.1 if its the ROM that's making it overheat then I know to change or find a better one
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

As always "overheating" is very subjective, it depends on how you feel the heat.

CPU / battery temperature?

In any case there is a protection, a thermal throttling. At certain CPU / battery temperatures the CPU frequence is automatically lowered to help reduce the temperature. In extreme temperature the phone shutdown to avoid damages so no worries.

In 3G the phone heated a little more, no problem here that the phone heats up when you re browsing or you're watching a video on Youtube.

You can try to undervolt a little to see if that helps.

As for battery life it depends on too many factors... CPU settings, screen brightness, signal quality, etc...

Search about your questions in this section or in the General section, there are lots of threads about it.

:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedor12:
What temperature does your phone actually get? When running stock it would be impossible to see my phone get other 43c and that was only under very heavy gaming but would usually be at 32-36c ive noticed my phone does get hotter when using mobile data instead of wifi. Now running rasbean with franco m1 and temps abit lower gaming has improved greatly but i dont think there is any difference in battery life compared to stock but your 2-2.5 screen time does seem abit low as i get with just web browsing maybe few youtube vids and few minutes of games around 4 hours screen time but i also envy those who are getting 5+ hours

---------- Post added at 11:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ----------

Forgot to mention thats 4 hours on wifi on mobile internet i should be able 2 get over 3 hours
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waynesta:
The phone gets hot very easily in my opinion idk the exact temp but I have the ringke slim on it and its definitely noticeable from the top of the phone to the bottom. Also does my carrier have anything to do with it because brightness on my phone is pretty low and simple stuff tends to drain my battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedor12:
When i was using a case on my phone it was getting hot from top to bottom but now i don't use case it doesn't get as hot and usually stays cooler at bottom half. I have found most accurate way to check your battery temp is by going on call and dialling *#*#4636#*#* and a hidden menu will come up and tap battery information you will see temp, there was an app that had same info but cant remember name so when you think its hot dial that code and let me know what temp it shows. Also are you using mobile internet or wifi when its getting hot?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waynesta:
I think it usually gets hot when using 3G so I'm assuming mobilicity isn't that good for this phone? Also I can clearly tell its the top part that is hot when the case is on
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedor12:
Yep mine also gets noticeably hotter on 3g and yeah it gets hot at the top but after a while will spread to bottom to thats normal. I am currently running rasbean rom with franco milestone 1 and also downloaded pimp my rom from play it has various tweaks and mods so i just flashed battery saving which supposed to help with battery not sure what it does though lol but i managed to get 3 hours 40 mins screen time half of time it was on minimum brightness and other half on 40% was just internet browsing and im sure you will agree that is very good considering i was using 3g the whole time
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedor12:
Just an update you should try undervolting on franco as i have now done it and it definitely helps with heating and i am pretty sure it has vastly improved my battery life if your interested i will post the values i have used which seems to be perfectly stable so far
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waynesta:
Yes please, do I need any app for this or can I just do it in the settings?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fedor12:
do you have the franco app? As that was what i used to change my setting if yes just go on frequencies/voltages go down to voltages and change from there i have attached screenshot of my setting and make you do not set voltages on boot as if it is unstable your phone is not going to boot up if that is ticked, you will have to change that everytime you reboot until you are sure its stable then u can set on boot
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Do you have a bad signal? Because if so then that will drain your battery a lot more quickly and also possibly make the phone heat up more.

[General Questions and Answers] arexcairo:
I have a Verizon Gnex, and I just got the 4.2.2 update. Like I expected, it does not support the Wireless Display function (Miracast), despite Verizon saying it would. I assume that was an accident on their part. My understanding is that because the Gnex has an OMAP 4460 and supports WiFi Direct, it should be capable of Miracast functionality, and that Google has deliberately turned this feature off for some reason. I have done some research on this, but I could not find any clear answer on whether it is possible to turn on the Wireless Display function in the Gnex and have it actually work. If so, does it work well and which ROMs best support it? I greatly appreciate the help because I have not been able to figure this out on my own yet, and for me this would be a killer feature.

[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
I found this out by watching ZedoMax's video. Just want to repost in case people didn't see it. Sorry, root is required. Also yes I am aware of Paranoid Android, but this method work with all roms. You can set tablet mode per app that you want and not affecting the entire system. You can change font size per app as well.

Instruction:

1. Download Xposed Installer (apk) and App Settings and install both of them.

2. Run Xposed Installer and press "Install/Update". Then also select the "Modules" tab, check the box to enable "App Settings". Then reboot.

3. Run "App Settings", select any app in the list you want to change to tablet mode. Change the value for the "DPI" and resolution (Screen (dp)) to the desired value, then press "Save", then Launch the program. Keep trying different values until it successful set the app into tablet mode.

Tips:

-If you are making change to an app that contain important data, use Carbon or Titanium Backup to backup your data first, just in case.

-I find "DPI" set to 200 or 240 and "resolution" to 1280x800 tend to work. Though not all apps come with a tablet mode.

-You can change the "font scale" value to make fonts bigger or smaller as well.

-If you experienced any app crashing, toggle it off in the App Settings menu and "Save". Also, setting the "DPI" to 0 is equivalent to the default DPI value.

-Some recommended settings to try for the Nexus 7:

Browser: DPI: 200, Resolution: 1280x800

Contacts: DPI: 240, Resolution: 1280x800

Launcher: DPI: 200, Resolution: 1280x800, Font Scale: 120 (bigger icons, tablet mode)

Play Music: DPI: 160, Resolution: 1280x800, Font Scale: 140 (This will fit lots more songs on the screen.)

Play Store: DPI: 200, Resolution: 1280x800, Font Scale: 80

cool! how does this affect performance? does it create any lag or stutter?

Edit: how do you install the zip file? it fails whenever I try to install it through recovery.

edit 2: you actually have to rename the zip file as an apk file, then install it normally in android. Not really sure why he didn't just upload it as an apk to begin with. O_o anywho this is working great!
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Except that after you do this, you're not on a stock ROM anymore ;)
[Nexus 7 General] eksasol:
It doesn't affect the performance, but I can imagine running apps on higher resolution might require more performance, but I've tried it with plenty of apps.

One thing I notice is it only affect 2D graphic. The resolution setting won't affect 3D games so no chance for getting better fps.

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] gdjindal:
Your devise cannot play any media with stock media player while media scan is running ( small sd card sign at notification bar). Let it complete to play media files like music and videos. Once scan completed you can play any media.

I have this exact same problem. I don't mind playing my music/videos from a file manager, but this also disables my freaking CAMERA. Trying to open my camera/video recorder just gives the same "Try again after media scanning complete" error message, even though the media scanner is not running.

Do I need to create some more folders on the SD card? Probably just going to try formatting and trying again, but I am so sick of doing that with this phone. If LG didn't make it practically unusable by default, it wouldn't be necessary D:<

Well guys i switched my internal and external sd and my phone scans at boot. At this second im going to try and run stock media player and see if my music shows up.. brb

Update.. my stock media player is Sh*t now and just scans usb.. im guessing cuz i switched my memories? One thing i havent tried is putting my sd card music files onto my internal sd card music folder. The only reason im not pressed to fix the issue is because the media player i downloaded is better than stock player and soon JB will be out for p769 so ill have to switch internal/external memory again. I think then my stock player will play. Its weird tho my stock player should simply scan for music files on device and sd card. Idk whats so hard about that

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] prankish:
I got mine working without a format. I was using RemountSD and a script running from SManager.

I had to go into RemountSD and change to the settings posted by arman4o in the "App data on external SD" L9 thread:

These settings in RemountSD took care of my media scanning issues (as soon as I rebooted the media scanner started up, when before it was freezing), and now I can use my camera again.

Unfortunately now my 32gb microSD card is no longer showing as my primary internal storage. In fact, it's not showing up at all. But at this point I already have all the large games installed to the microSD that I needed (and even though it doesn't show up under storage, the games still work), so I am just going to wait until a JB 769 ROM before I mess with all this crap again.

This started about 2-3 weeks ago, about a week after I flashed a CM10 rom. While in use, the LCD would randomly disable, and I'd have to press the power button several times to re-enable it. The digitizer would still be enabled, though.

Starting last night, the LCD began to refuse to enable at all. I had had a similar problem with a strange/bad ROM on my Nook Color™, so I blamed the ROM I was using. I then used Flashtool and reflashed the stock ROM. It worked a couple times, then nothing. So, I flashed MIUI Australia, it initialized for the boot image, and then nothing. I reflashed stock, turned on, and nothing. Not even a boot image.

Happens with SIM in/out, SD in/out. Not sure what is happening here, but it really annoys me. And my phone is 80% of my digital life. And my warranty expired 11 days ago (although I probably voided it when I installed a 3rd party ROM).

When I boot it, the backlight will come on for a second or two, and then it disables.

Please help, someone. Even if I have to pay someone to fix it, I'd be willing (granted, I don't want to throw *too* much money into this old phone, I may as well buy a Nexus 4 or something. It is getting quite antiquated :/)
