[General Questions and Answers] Lord Master:
Is it my phone or my battery

Hi, I have a problem, my battery drains very fast. It lasts for a bit over two hours when I browse the internet for a bit and listen to some music. Also when ever I switch my phone off it either shows a completely different battery percentage (eg. If it was at 80 percent it would show 20 percent on restart) or it does not start up as it says my battery is low. Another thing is when I charge it to full when I wake up in the morning it would have dropped to 60 percent or lower. And according to GSam battery monitor Kenel (Android OS) is taking 50 percent and sometimes more of the usage. Before I got 6 hours of use from my phone when listening to music and surfing the internet regulary. Should I get me a new battery or is it the phone itself that needs replacing?

Communications between devices (any OS)

Dear all,

I have a quick question, which might have been posted already but I can't find a clear answer on internet.

(feel free to point it to me then).

Imagine a room with some tablets and smartphones, iOS/Android/windows running on them.

How can those devices communicate between them in a common App installed?

Let say a Poker game for example. Does it necessarry have to be via WIFI and so a distant server which agreggate all the communications?

What about Bluetooth or NFC or any other technologie?

My needs would be an instant communication and small amount of data.

No delay or few milliseconds between the moment that the user click on a button and that this action is having an effect on the other devices.

(in my case, connection to an external server via WIFI doesn't work as this will take some time)

Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

Yoan

My A500FU came with 5.0.2 right outta box so if I used odin to flash 4.4.4 would it either brick my device or trip knox?
[General Questions and Answers] ohporter:
No need for Internet connectivity. If you want to build an app that communicates locally, the solution these days is Bluetooth Low Energy. You may have one device host a GATT server for the game and other devices discover local GATT servers hosting that game. Details on this can be found in the Android Bluetooth APIs.

Thank you very much for this answer. I will have a look to this but is this solution compliant with the fact that I want a multi-OS solution? (iOS, Android, Windows)

Note : I am totally ignorant of developing stuff so please anyone answer give me details and steps to follow .
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
its been my experience, frequently, if you loose or remove root for any reason, its necessary to flash the os clean before it will root will install again.

i dont have direct experience with your device, but have rooted many others, and this has been fairly common occurrence.

i dont know if it matters, but i browsed a few guides on how to extract these files, and what i saw said to use "rar" not "zip".

im not sure thats possible, i have never seen it done.

seems like it would be easier to get the same information by asking other users who live in india to post screen shots and answer your questions about the upgrade.
[General Questions and Answers] zakkh2012:
I need help disabling the system update on my Xperia Z3V. I rooted using the flashtool original rom (without unlocking the bootloader) and I am on 4.4.4. If anyone can tell me how to get rid of this effectively that would be great. Right now i don't want to go to lollipop, I'm perfectly happy with my setup as is. (all i wanted root for was xposed). But anyway it comes up on every reboot, all i can do is schedule it for a specific time to be "asked again". 24 hours being the longest. It's just irritating. I have disabled update center and unchecked the "notify" app checkbox on both apps through settings/app manager/ all, but it's through Software Update that I'm getting a huge on screen prompt (it won't let me disable it). It was fine for a couple weeks but anyway thanks in advance for helping.

This is my first post so please tell me where i should post if this is the incorrect place, thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
everything i can find says to disable the notification in that update center, not disabling the entire notification center app. pretty much everyone said that stopped it.

you could also do this, and it should bring up the app info screen of whatever app is sending the notification. then you can disable the notification there too if need be.
[General Questions and Answers] zakkh2012:
Yea, that didn't work. Both methods. First of all it's a whole screen prompt that locks you until you press install later then select a time. I have screenshots i want to show. And i haven't disabled update center or systen update, just unchecked the "notifications" checkbox. Still doesn't fix
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
on most (possibly all) of the phones i have had, we usually freeze those update apps with titanium or rom toolbox. they generally serve no purpose but the update service.

i would backup your data first just to be safe. i cant guarantee noting undesired will happen just because i have never had an issue.
[General Questions and Answers] zakkh2012:
Yea i was reading about uninstalling via Titanium Backup, however i am a newb so i don't know how to ''freeze'' but thanks, you have helped enough sir. :good:

just click the app in titanium and it will give you the option to freeze, delete, backup, and restore. easy peasy lol

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Download another ROM for your device in .zip format and a matching Gapps and flash them in TWRP, you shouldn't need to reflash the stock firmware if you already have TWRP and can boot to it, if you flash the stock firmware you'll lose root and have to start your whole custom process over, if you flash a custom ROM zip and gasps in TWRP you won't have to go through all that to get back where you want to be.

Hi there I'n having issues with data use.

Both "OS services" and "Download Manager" have been rinsing data (100mb in total yesterday) suddenly.for no.reason.

I had this issue before and after some googling Froze "market updater" that was a few months ago and now the issue has come back.

Searching has just turned up others with similar issues, but more often than not the threads (elsewhere) are unanswered.

Anyone got.any ideas? Is there a log i could watch to get a clue?

I had similar issues when I went from M preview update 3 to the stock 6.0 factory version when Google went live with it. I somehow ended up with the wrong version of Play Store and Google Services Framework. I found a link at AndroidPit about it that helped fix the issue. Market Updater needed a cache wipe, then reboot and all was right again.

Hello,

I'm trying to root a Asus Zenfone 2e. I haven't been able to do it with konga and superoneclick and a couple other programs. Has anyone successfully rooted this phone? If you have, could you give me some instruction on how you did it? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Balaji.S.R:
Issue is I'm using n4 and do not have external sd card. So need adb sideload option
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
OK then, as you already have figured out, adb push the files to the root of your internal SD card(recommended) or a folder of your choice where you can find it easily, then while still in adb after pushing your files, type: adb reboot recovery, then flash the zips like I described in my last post.

***NOTE***

Remember to do your wipes after flashing(not the advanced format options) it will prompt you with a slider to do the wipes, swipe it to the right to wipe, then reboot to system.
[General Questions and Answers] Balaji.S.R:
Will do. Is there a guide for the same?

You should be able to use adb in TWRP, after pushing your files then flash them. It shouldn't matter what OS you are flashing as long as they are flashable zips that can be flashed in recovery.

[General Questions and Answers] DXrep:
To flash a ROM generally takes about 10 - 20 minutes.

How did you flash the ROM, I mean like method, elaborate be more informative.

Now that you are in boot loop, I suggest you to flash a stock ROM.

And, there is no such thing as installing ROM it just can only be "flashed".

HOX+ with latest Elegancia (stock look) cant make calls

Hi all,

long time lurker, first time poster.

I just flashed my old UK Vodafone HTC One X+ with Elegancia (latest version, stock look) and all seems fine apart from making calls. The radio bars show connection (although it does drop out at times) but when you dial it hangs for a few seconds then beeps and drops. When first setting it up i did get a notification from virgin asking if i eant the usual mms set up etc

Ive sniffed around the forums but cant find much specific to my issue.

Bad rom install? Radio issue?

Greatful for any help
[General Questions and Answers] DXrep:
That I do not know about.

But, if you're still stuck on boot loop then nothing else can be done except for flashing stock ROM.

Your phone is in boot loop, it is soft bricked but it can be recovered by flashing stock ROM.

Most probably a rom issue..... Ask in the rom thread to see if someone else also get it or not....

Did you do the wipes(factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache) after you flashed and before you rebooted?

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

In general it's a bad idea to flash things from other carriers or devices because they usually aren't the same and only causes problems, anywhere from causing bootloops, flashing fine and even booting but getting no service, all the way up to permanently bricking your device.

new question: how to use android like linux, without appl

Hi,

first time here, first question.

I can work with debian but I am newbie for smartphones, my first one is chinese uhappy up920, android 4.4.2, it is rooted with kingo, I have installed busybox and ROM Toolbox Lite, and Terminal IDE.

first I tried to install some applications for changing MAC address but non of them worked, then I tried with terminal and no success.

I am interested to change mac address without applications, simply from terminal, as i would do in linux. but in linux macchanger should be installed. sudo macchager -m AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF eth0/wlan0

I tried also apt-get like in linux but it is not recognized as command, so, I don't know how to install something from terminal in android. is it possible? there are repositories in linux, I don't know for android.

I tried:

busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55 from http://xdaforums.com/nexus-s/general/update-18-05-13-spoof-wifi-mac-address-t1385577

but I got a notification: busybox : can't execute : permission denied

but kingo gave root permission to terminal IDE. I typed SU

I tried and wlan0 instead of eth0 but the same result.

You can also use adb or terminal emulator app to install a recovery in .img format(the recovery has to be renamed to "recovery.img" without the quotation marks) via dd command with the correct command line for your specific device(you can most likely find the correct command with a Google search), the command has to be exactly right so that the recovery gets installed to the correct partition on your device or the device will be bricked, be absolutely sure that you are using the correct dd command line for your device.

E: unable to mount '/data'

E:unable to mount '/usb-otg'

E: unable to mount storage.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Try wiping system and data partitions but don't wipe internal SD card(user partition), then try flashing, if nothing happens try reflashing your recovery or another recovery to see if it mounts your partitions correctly. If you were able to adb push the files to recovery then your PC and device are connecting and recognizing each other, if you can't get it this way then see if there is a factory .img that you can flash via fastboot or other flashing software compatible with your device. You would have to start over with rooting and flashing custom recovery+ROM but you'd be fixed. Just remember to copy or move the files that you pushed so that you would still have them after restoring stock .img.
