[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
Well, I looked up here in xda and on the internet and found nothing conclusive regarding Miracast on 4x HD. So, Tegra 3 supports it and our device is already on 4.2 builds...does anyone knows what is missing?

Dev in this thread claimed to have ported the feature from Optimus G but link is down since last July despite many people reporting the issue.

And when I say "nothing conclusive" I mean that I couldn't find any article saying "yes, you should be able to use it" or "no, 4x HD doesn't support it".

Strange....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
me i only found this article ,

saying about new lg smart tv that support nfc and miracast. nothing more. maybe does that mean that we need also to buy a new tv to use this feature ? not gonna happen if thats the case. im happy with my plasma samsung
[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
Well I happen to have Smart LG tv compatible with Miracast and I can't use it. I only have the option of sharing videos or pics to my tv screen...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
Miracast installation guide ** NOT SURE FOR OPTIMUS 4x COMPATIBILITY. Maybe if someone has tried this already and can tell you about it.

*** propably working. i have a friend with whome we trade pictures and he has a samsung s3. i open nfc and he opens the same whatever samsung call it.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
Thanks for sharing the guide...my tv has native miracast support, and the issue here is that there's no "enable miracast" option on the stock JB or even in cm10 roms. Since the tegra 3 officially supports it, I believe it's only a lack of software issue.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
at the guide , samsung didnt have a miracast option either. he just used that thing thats called nfc and android beam in lg
[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
Actually he used an option called "All share Cast". I already tried that before with no success.

I still think we need some app to make it work ...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
Well, I just sent an e-mail to LG asking if our device is Miracast capable. I'll let you all know as soon as I get an answer.

****Nevermind, they gave me a useless answer ......
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
maybe something like that ? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.bbqdroid.bbqscreen
[LG Optimus 4X HD] foxfireseed:
I guess this is the best alternative since it looks like we won't have miracast option anytime soon, if ever.

Thanks!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] amkirk94:
I am on official CM11. There is an option called "cast screen" on the display settings. I enable it, but my smart TV is unable to locate the device. Anyone else having this issue with miracast?

If you turn that option on, wpa_supplicant crashes so it doesn't work.

Software. Tegra drivers are cloed source, we work with what we get from the nexus updates, which means we don't have full compatibility since despite some similarities the're two entirely different devices
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czezz:
Im going to downgrade my Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro MK16i from the latest Android 4.0.4 to shipped 2.3.4.

The reason is that with version 4.0.4 my phone slowed down terribly.

My phone is NOT rooted and version 4.0.4 has been uploaded/flashed with official Sony software: Sony PC Companion 2.1

As Sony provides no official way to downgrade Android I have searched here a few useful topics:

Firmwares for MK16i - shipped:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642480

Flashing procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

As I am going to do that for the first time in my life and I have some doubts (I dont want to turn my phone into a brick) I want to ask for a few quiestion/advices:

1. just in case downgrade will fail, can I make some kind of backup of my current system and roll it back ?

2. there are no information at the Flashing Procedure about any assumption/requirements eg. "unlocking boot loader" or any other. My phone is not modified at all. Does this procedure still valid ?

3. my phone was bought in Switzerland and (unfortunately) keyboard key Z is switch with Y (possibly some other keys may be different than regular keyboard is). Please note: I use US-English settings instead.

I searched for shipped/default Android OS image (.ftf file). What I have found is:

- pro MK16_4.0.2.A.0.42_GenericDE

- MK16i_1234-7775_4.0.2.A.0.62_Generic_Trade_Central_Europe

- MK16i_4.1.B.0.431_Baltic

Which one of these would be the most suitable ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luiseteyo:
MK16i_4.1.B.0.431_Baltic is 4.0.4, not 2.3.4

I would recommend you to flash 0.62 firmware

- Download the firmware and paste it in Flashtool/firmwares

- Open Flashtool

- Connect the device in flashmode (i believe u have installed flashmode drivers. If not, they are in /Flashtool/drivers

- Press the scar button/flashmode/ and then select the firmware you downloaded. Press start. When finishes it will reboot. Now you are done :)

If u have any question, ask it, but read tutorials first.

Cheers, hope it helps.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czezz:
Hi,

thank you very much for your replies.

Assumptions:

1. For this point it is not clear to me will I be able to restore my phone to any working configuration in case flashing procedure fails ?

2. I assume there are no additional requirements. Simply follow the steps http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343

3. As luiseteyo suggested, I will use 0.62 firmware (I guess 0.62 = MK16i 4.0.2.A.0.62 (1251-0386) )

@shareupload:

thank you for suggestion.

First I will do a very basic operation - flashing with shipped/default firmware (Android OS image ?).

Afterwards, yes I will be interested to do some improvement to my phone. However for that I think I need to read some basic information just to be sure what am I doing and avoid turning my phone into a brick.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czezz:
It doesnt work at all.

I have followed the instruction. FlashTool tels me that I need to install drivers while I have installed all drivers available in Flashtool\drivers

Please look at the print screen - it also shows that I have all drivers.

However, during procedure when I turn off the phone, unplug the cable, hold back button and then plug cable back again it tells me that I dont have drivers...

SO CONFUSING :(((

Here is a print screen: imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/wuds.png/?sa=0

Does it matter ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
I asked it, because I had some issues on Windows 8.

Did you install Flashmode drivers and the drivers specific to your device?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czezz:
Hey, as I have written I have installed all available in Flashtool\drivers. Though there is no specific driver for MK16 (why ???)

Additionally, I have installed latest PC Companion.

No luck :(((
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhotiron2004:
I know it's an old thread. But, if anyone would face this situation then the solution is that:

1. You need to select(tick) the drivers of your specific model along with flash mode and fast boot(top 2 options) while installing the drivers.

2. When you see the driver selection screen then just hover your mouse over the available drivers to see/find the name of your particular phone and tick that.

3. Remember that there can be 2 or more drivers for the same phone in the selection menu. So, scroll through the entire list and select all the drivers that have your phone name on it.

Also, as of 2020, if you are having a 2011 series Sony Ericsson mobile. Then you need an older flashtool version(not the latest). For Eg 9.13 flashtool version worked for my Sony Erisson MK16i on Windows 8. But, the latest version had some driver & compatibility issues for older phones.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] autophone:
So we have all read reviews of the device and the battery performance. From all the reviews I read with various takes on the battery life, I can conclude one thing: HTC One has amazing stand by time but the 1080p screen undeniably consumes significant amount of power.

In other words, the best way to save power is not to use it. But you guys have better solutions, battery pack? battery case? which brand? Please share your thoughts.:)

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dobknobby:
Since ive had mine last week, ive non stop been using it, playing games, using camera, and normal day to day activities, and i must say, im sooo impressed with the battery over the One X,

For example, my One x would come off charge about 7am, by 4 - 5pm i would be charging it again. On my One i take it off the same time, and dont need to charge it till im in bed, approx 11pm - 12am.

Its brill! :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Here's some of the things i've been doing since the hero days, a lot of you will know these but here they are anyway :)

Turn off auto brightness, move it to as low as you can bare.

Switch off all wireless controls when not in use. 3G, GPS, BT, Wifi, NFC.

Turn all email and syncs to manual (personally i leave google alone)

Try not to have a live wallpaper

Try to reduce the amount of active widgets you have.

If possible don't install apps with ads all over them, especially with push notifications, 10 or so of these on your phone can cause real problems with battery.

Use autostarts (responsibly) to reduce what starts up and when for example: Wild blood and Nova 3 (both paid for games) start up with your phone, nuke them with autostarts, there are many more.

Give your phone some full cycles of charge every now and again.

Don't use task killers and always close apps unless you really need to go back to it.

Install better battery stats and check for wakelocks, deal with them and then remove better battery stats, periodically check for them, once a month or every flash.

Try not to overcharge, if youre really picky then get a timed socket, so it'll only charge for the time that you set it to.

There are more but you get the picture, i personally get about 24 hours roughly, maybe more, i tend to charge at night time, this being my third HTC One, and that is roughly the average i got.

Hope this helps. :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hunt3r.j2:
Fix your wakelocks, use the powersaver mode but only check data connection and CPU settings, only select reduce brightness if you're willing to deal with incredibly difficult sunlight visibility.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
Most of these are decent. Recommending full charge cycles is not. There is no reason to drain to nothing and then charge to full. In fact, that represents a full charge cycle, and each battery has a limited number of cycles it will do. The more you do it, the more the battery degrades.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:
Agree on the first part... cycling isn't good, it also increases heat in battery which will only degrade the life of the battery, only good that comes out of it is that the battery percentage is correct, meaning it is used to make sure that the percentage you're seeing is correct but the battery life will stay the same.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnbrennan:
Also, I thought that a charger cuts out once it has charged the phone, and so overcharging is not possible
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Well i've been doing the same thing for my whole life and i've had mobile phones for a long time and the battery for me has never been an issue.

I'm not saying to cycle it all the time, but i would do it every now and again, bare in mind that the battery will degrade after around a year anyway, even worse after two. There isn't a lot you can do in that time that will change that.

Cycling isn't going to hurt the battery at all.

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Well if you pop into a phone shop and notice that the screens on the phones sometimes become a bit dodgy, up until you remove the charging cable at least, and then it begins to work again.

Plus the batteries degrade heavily on those phones that have been charged all the time, so over charging definitely has an impact on your battery.

I don't care what anyone says about it not taking charge, overcharging is bad for your phone, excessive over charging anyway.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
Cycling the battery does nothing for the run time except degrade it. Obviously, occasionally, isn't going to make a difference. But lets not pretend that running the battery all the way down and then charging it back up does anything at all except to use up a full charge cycle.

You're also using overcharge incorrectly. Overcharging is going beyond the limit of the battery, and this often results in flames. What you're talking about is constantly topping off while on charger overnight. So like 100>99>98>100>99>98>100 etc. That is bad for the battery, yes.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyLegend:
All cycling does for ur battery is make sure ur battery is reporting it's level correctly.. Nothing else. It's useful after flashing custom roms.. But it doesn't improve ur battery life or time.

I would always cycle my new phone for a few charges but after that I wouldn't bother. I've nearly always had an extra battery kit but obviously u can't do it with the htc one.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 人云奕云:
It's strange that battery lives are variant according to your feedback, my guess is because the screen panels are from variant manufacturer.

As for myself, unplugged at 7:30am, by about 9pm I usually have less then 25%, 3hrs web surfing (using 3G), around 20 min call, one hour gaming and some texts. I think moderate would be a better word for One's battery. Sure a big improvement of One X but still no where near iPhone 5

Youre literally confirming what i've already written? Stop trying to grab brownie points lad.

cycling the battery isn't going to hurt it if you do it every now and again (LIKE I SAID) as another user has said, it helps with stats and calibration.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3llawi 10:
To save the battery life , Is it ok to charge the phone even if the battery has 40 percent ? Or I should recharge it when it is less than 15 percent ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foas:
Exactly,

I always (try to) charge my phone when battery shows in between (15-20%). I keep it plugged in for 1.5 hours till it reaches 95%+

Charging at 40% means you have used one of the charging cycle of a battery and i've read somewhere that every battery has 1000 charging cycles..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foas:
Yes..its better not to go there..

My friend uses iPhone 5 and he gets like one whole day with moderate usage (2 hours 3G, 1 hour of gaming, 2 Hours music.,30 minutes of calling & whatsapp ) .. i think the term moderate is different for everyone.. :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Well I would say that he is moderate to high judging from what you wrote, he's a DJ and gets on twitter and the like, literally all day everyday, he's not much of a gamer so its just the social networking. And as I said, 8 hours, he charges in work at around 5pm ish. Gets there at about 10am, I'm guessing that he gets up about half 8.

Hi everybody,

The Launcher plays a huge role in a smartphone experience. It can enhance it or break it. There is a multitude of new Launchers out there and of course I haven' try them all. I've been using Nova Prime as my home screen launcher for quite some time now. I tried Apex, Go Launcher, SPB Shell and more but I always come back to Nova. I just love the gesture and speed this lightweight launcher can give.

So what is your preferred launcher and WHY? Which one do you think should be called the KING of Launcher?
