[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LucasVL7:
Hello,

this problem is occured by a technology that is installed by default on the Snapdragon processor. This technology called 'BRITE (Backlight Reactive Illumination Technology)', has been made to prevent your battery from draining. The processor in the Samsung Galaxy S4 also uses this technology. The 'BRITE' function dims your screen when the temperature is above the 50C° or when you open certain applications. The only way to prevent the dimming is to flash a custom rom on your device. With the 'BRITE' API you can completely modify the 'BRITE' settings. Samsung didn't modify this the way we wanted it. The only way to stop the dimming is to flash a custom rom which changed the 'BRITE' settings using the API. So an app or changing settings won't fix the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MAGGOTVOMIT:
Hi guys,

Great community youve got here.

I was having the same issues with my AT&T Note 4 w/ 4.4.4 KK and Google sent me here to this S4 thread.. I hope I can help because I actually fixed my own issue while skimming through the replies.

FWIW I just purchased a Note 4 friday evening. Have been real busy both friday and all day yesterday and I have not had alot of time to go through all the sub setting menus to fine tune this beast like I would want. Maybe it was a blessing that I couldn't do it all the first night because a few hours ago, I finally got to sit down and go thru a few more settings right before taking the wife out for Valentines. I also bought her a G3 for Valentines, cause Androids are a girls best friend.

On the way back home I made a couple of calls and I noticed my screen would dim after a few seconds and go black during every call, which had not been happening Friday-Sat. I also noticed that no matter which screen I was on ( home , settings etc. ) it would do the same Dim then Dark dance.

Like all my previous phones when new, one of the very first things I always change is the screen to time out at 2 or 3 min, depending on the phone. But now this thing, was dimming/darkening after only 15 seconds. I sat here while skimming through the replies on this thread saying to myself, " 15 seconds, 15 seconds, Why is 15 seconds so familiar?"

Then it hit me, FACEPALM!!!! I had gotten irritated at my screen all day timing out and locking right away. I rushed back into the Settings > Device > LOCK SCREEN >(go all the way to bottom) > SECURED LOCK TIME. default is "Instantly with powerkey or screen time out" and I had changed it to "15 seconds" which overides the 3min screen timeout setting for some strange reason.

I hope this helps you guys out with your S4 or at least someone with a Note 4.

help please! Sorry for my English. I have Flash 4, 2, 1 using the service usb cable(). After that, he worked 3-4 hours. night set it on charging usb using native, and in the morning when trying to unlock the screen, the phone began to cyclically vibrate, and black screen. I opened the access to the battery and disconnect it. now when I try to turn on or go into fastboot it vibrates but the screen is black. When connect to usb white led lights up. the computer doesn't see it. help please!

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
Hi,

how long do your XZs need to charged? I got a 3m usb cable to charge my phone using the docking station and have the feeling it was taking longer than before. Currently it charged 50% in 1h 40min.

I hope it isn't bad for battery health :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:
How are you charging the phone? Via USB 2.0 on a computer OR using the supplied Sony charger that came with the phone?

Also, what dock is it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
Sony DK26 dock, Sony charger
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:
If you are charging it via PC via usb 2.0 (black) it will only charge at 500mA which is really slow. If you try a USB 3.0 (blue) slot it charges at 900mA which is faster. If you use the charger that came with the phone it will charge way faster since it's 1.5A (1500mA) :D
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
As I already said in my previous post, I'm using the original Sony Charger.

It charged so slow that it must have been about 700mA per hour. I think I'll search for another micro usb cable, that allows me to charge faster :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morten82:
Slow charging is better charging! I use a charger from an older smartphone.. 875mA..
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
Takes about an hour to get 20-70, another hour for the remaining 30%. But I keep it at 20-80 at most times because most guides told me so :p .

Over night i plug it to pc. and it actually had 0 to 78 on 5 hours so its pretty slow
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teknohtc:
Sorry misread that lol. I don't know why the USB cord sony supplied can't be longer?:confused: My SGS3 cable was way longer and i liked that. I wonder if a usb extension would be a better choice since the original cable is really good quality....
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
The problem is your cable,3m is very long to keep the mA power.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Interesting, I have a 1.5m USB cable (not the sony) and using the OEM sony charger it will just barely charge my Z. So maybe my issue is the cable length.. I'll try it with the sony USB cable tonight to see if this fixes my problem.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdrg:
Hello,

I'm looking for an app to use as an "elderly fall alert". The scenario looks quite common, so I guess I just didn't make a good search.

I'd install it on an old phone, leave it permanently plugged to the charger and place it somewhere that should be frequently visited by an elder living alone, like the kitchen or the bathroom. If the camera detects no motion in the room for a few hours (considering nighttime & etc), it sends some kind of alert to someone... an SMS, email via 2G/3G maybe with a photo of the "current situation". Periodic reports would be good, so would be power out alerts (might cause a fall or phone might run out of battery after a while).

I found applications tied to special camera hardware and a lot of burglary alert apps, but what I want is a reverse function of that.

Does anybody know of an application like this?

Thanks!

Elementalx 13.1 on Viperone 6.2.1

Hey guys,

I am having a problem with Elementalx on my M7 sprint. Hboot 1.55. S-on. Let me break down my actions and outcomes. I started with Viperone 6.2.1 on stock kernel.

1 wipe cache and dalvik then flash Elementalx > NFC broken

2 Flash stock kernel. > NFC still broken

3 wipe cache and dalvik then flash rom > NFC working again

4 Fresh download of rom and kernel , full wipe then flash rom. reboot then flash kernel. > NFC broken.

5 wipe cache and dalvik then relash rom. > NFC working

BTW the aroma installer reflashes the stock kernel whenever I flash the rom.

Any Ideas?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea2605:
Hi,

Today I felt that the glas at the back of the Z was slightly bend up at the upper left corner (next to the camera). Must hace happened in the last days.

Its like the backglas comes off at that corner and I can even push it inwards a little.

I didn't let it fall or didn't push or squeeze it too much or something.

Is there a way to fix that? Im frightened that it wont keep water off or dust will enter or the glas will crack (cause this edge is now slightly higher than the frame).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OsiBasi:
I have no idea about this, but if I were in your seat, I'd get it replaced before anything breaks.

Or - send it in for warranty repairs, if you get it back and its still coming off, and go back claim they did it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
It seems this happened because you played a lot with doom kernel ;)

Overheating will dry the back glass's glue and rubbers.

If you see how to disassemble this phone you will know what i mean.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNrtamZuf7E&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea2605:
Im only undervolting and -clocking what results in less heat all across the board... So maybe this glue would have dried even faster if I hadnt used doomkernel ;)

Well, any tips how to solve this on my own? Guess with a unlocked BL and rooted phone sonys gonna make this issue a several hundret euro issue :rolleyes:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csengoi:
I experienced the very same issue! Exactly the exact spot. Top lef corner at the camera. I have all stock firmware, no overclock.

Very frustrating! I always try to push it back, but it does not stay that way. Now the glass is about the same level as the side bevel. Sometimes over it a bit.

I would repair it myself the way that video is showing how to remove the back glass, but I do not know what type of glue should I use...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sea2605:
I didn't fix it and it didn't change or come off (yet). Well, maybe we shouldn't bother too much, as opening the back could be like opening pandoras box ;) I learned to live with it, because it really isn't that big of an issue...I had already forgotten about it. Your answer here made me remember it

Edit:

But I need to add that this is not something I expected when buying a premium flagship for 600 bucks...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
Well if you didn't play around with the kernel then you might have used the phone for too long to the point it started to melt the glue.

This was mentioned by users when the phone was launched. The camera part gets heated up easily.

If it's getting loose don't even try putting it under water, it's probably not ip57 anymore.

Prevention: try not to hold your hand in the upper part, when it starts feeling hot let the phone sit till it's cool.

Less gaming for you gamers out there!

Yes it's sad but there's sacrifices for beauty.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levior:
This happened with my XZ too. Today after playing Carmageddon and charging it at a same time (for 90 mins approx). I pushed back the backplate WHILE IT WAS HOT, and its ok for now. Im sure its caused due to the heat from inside. Gonna monitor that issue and if it happens again, I will return the phone back to the store.

They must do something with charging because while i playing the batt percentage was decreased from 75 to 55 (on stock charger, but with another 1.8m cable).
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flashben:
In Singapore, the service center dont bother if your set is rooted or unloack BL.. As long as it is still under warranty, they will repair for you. I tried with HTC, Asus and Sony... lolx

I believe now, Unlocking BL and Rooting but keep stock ROMs will not cost your warranty void. Its only when you play around with custom ROMs and cause your phone to break or having boot-loops then you need to pay for repair. But most of the time, re-flashing ROMs will solve the issue.

But i forgot to backup my stock kernel, Shame on me :(

Maybe someone could upload a backup of the Stock Kernel. Or is there any way to get the stock kernel on other ways i've missed until?

if you got a custom rom just flash it again it will go back to stock or if you done a cmw backup flash that and it will go back to stock:)

Thanks for the answer, but i don't have any CWM Backup or anything else with stock kernel. And i don't wan't to flash a Custom Rom for this. At the moment i'm still on stock rom and i would keep the Stock Rom.

Should be enough if someone could backup the kernel and upload it anywhere. ;)

Hi all,

Could someone please advise me if i have a XDA1 or a paperweight, I use a XDA2, but as i had a old 32MB XDA1 with what looked like the version befor PPC2002 i thort i would be clever and put a 2003 rom on it.

its a uk 900/1800 PW10A1 device, anyway with delay i dowloaded the latest 2003 rom i could find ( T-Mobile 2003 4.21 beta) anyway i put the relevent file on a SD ard and upgraded that way.

As this had lots of T-Mobile bits i did not wont i found a older non network branded 2003 rom. but my problem is the devve is now listed as a PW10B1, and of ocrse i cant use 1800 anymore, ( iam in the uk and was going to use it on Orange (1800),

I have read throught the forum and tried many ways to fix this with various roms and then in the phone section changing bands , also bootloader all with no affect, the best i can get is a fresh earlie clean 2003 rom but only working 900mhz.

Dose anyone have any ideas last resorts how i can make it work on 1800 like it did befor i jumped in head first and not reading that the t-mobile 2003 rom will make it a 900/1900 device

any idea even if it compleetly kills it it was wort a try

Thanks

Having said that,.....you will lose stability and battery life if you go that high.

You will gain considerable performance but for what really?

Do you need it, probably not.

Personally I underclock to 1.18 for 80% of the day during the week, and run at 1.67ghz all day on the weekends. Its very easy to kick it up higher if you need the performance boost.

Also educate yourself on the various governors to better manage your CPU draw.

Google is your friend and the greatest tool you have for information.

Use tricksterMod or system tuner in the play store to manage CPU states and governors, both are free.

Both are great

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ackliph:
Make sure you don't click the save on reboot button (or whatever it's called) because you may end up in a boot loop until you can flash some recovery to reset the setting. I don't think you're at too much of a risk, but the phone may not run stable and will likely shut down if it's pushed too hard. That's what I think.

Yes the battery life will be shorter. It may not be drastic unless you are constantly using it because the CPU speed will go back down when you idle.

Hi,

The XDA forum has always my resource for problem solving, but being fully stuck after an upgrade to the Resurrection Remix JB 3.1.3, I'd like to take the opportunity to post, I think my 1st thread. I hope that I am posting this at the right spot, but if not, my appologies.

So, I upgraded my SGS2 from the "old" DLev Rom, 2.3.5 based to the RR 3.1.3, and I have a number of issues. For the upgrade I used exactly the steps prescribed on the RR page, and I hope that these apply to my situation, DLev 2.3.5 to RR 4.2.1.

1. After doing a Titanium Backup restore, I get each time after booting a "exchange service lost" error. The Wifi icon looks like split in 2, and I get the message that access to email is lost. This is weird, as I am not at all using an exchange server, only yahoo and 4 IMAP accounts. As I found out I can however recover from this error by explicitly opening my K-9 email.

2. As I found the RR launcher a bit poor, I started using my LauncherPro. However, in configuring, and more in particular in adding shortcuts to the screen, and scrolling to select an app, the S2 locks up, and a reboot is the only way to bring it back to life. Is it a compatibility issue, or is it something else?

3. And thirdly, I am unable to synchronize with my gmail account. I always get the message that the Google sync is having problems, but they will be resolved soon. Have tried all recommendations given by google, unchecking the to sync items and rechecking them, but Iacnnot get the problem resolved.

Any advice is greatly appreciated, and I'll be looking forward to getting reactions.

I sadly enough don't seem to get many responses. Well, here is my next finding.

I'm pretty busy with too many projects, but I took some time to google Jelly Bean issues, and one high up the list is the sync.

Two ways to enable the auto-sync:

1. Settings > Data usage. Hit menu button and select auto-sync. And for me, auto-sync was already enabled. But not doing it's job.

2. Power Control widget, enable auto-sync. Strange enough, the auto-sync was enabled with with under data usage, but not in the power control widget. I enabled it, went to check the accounts, google and Dropbox, and no change. Google sync problems and Dropbox, sync is OFF.

I rebooted. Same situation, no change at all.
