Hi.......

Is there any program or method to cancel the charging while i am connecting my phone to my computer ?

Help me plz..

thanks in advance

First time I've ever heard that request. I don't believe there is since USB ports output a low voltage from the computer.

I own an i337 and well am in Pakistan. The problem I am facing right now is updating the phone. It gives an error that its interrupted. Why is that?

I am not willing to try a custom rom or something unofficial. Give me something as in a suggestion. Tried with 3g, data and wifi. Nuffin!! :/

Though updating 9505 was pretty easy. No problems

I have this same tablet (didn't realize the processor was THAT good, certainly doesn't feel like it...) and managed to root it. However I am unsure of the next step as there isn't a single guide anywhere in Google search. If needed, I'll put together a darn guide if I get the help I need.

My goal: Unlock bootloader (if locked), install recovery, and update from 4.1.1 OR install any ROM.

I WILL TAKE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THIS CURSE-ED TABLET and I will forever be indebted to said hero(es).

Please and thank you :)

WiFi problem

Question: Why is that sometimes when I try to connect in a public WiFi my phone won't connect even if the signal bar is showing that it's full or very strong? I'm using a galaxy s4 regardless of rom it's doing the same.
[General Questions and Answers] andreiav:
That public WiFi might have MAC address filtering, or there might be a lot of people connected and the router can't take it. These are 2 possible reasons. There might be other explanations, but I don't think it's hardware or Rom related.

[General Questions and Answers] kschang:
Not sure where to ask, as this is more of a "hack this app" question

Have a friend who's addicted to Chinese soap operas, mostly rom-com stuff. Bought her a cheap tablet, and tried to teach her to connect to wifi and turn on proxy so the tablet can go through a proxy and pretend to be in China and bypass IP Block and all that. All configured. (Took me most of one morning)

Except she can't be bothered to learn such. *sigh*

Primary download is through Youku's Android app, which works fine... When connected to my own WiFi, but as she can't be bothered to learn how to connect to, say, hotel's free wifi or other free wifi, well, I had to use the Youku's "offline mode". Yes, it lets you download stuff to watch offline.

Then I ran into a brick wall... It only downloads 20 episodes, when a single series can have 40, or more episodes.

Storage is not a problem. I already put a 16GB card in there and each 30 minute episode is roughly, oh, 105 MB at SD (not HD or 1080p). So there's PLENTY of room even for 100 episodes.

Any way to see if this "20 max offline" can be hacked? Already hacked? Can I simply check the Manifest and unpack the APK and see where it leads me? I have no problem reading Chinese if it comes to that.

My alternative is to download 20 episodes, move them to a separate directory, then download another 20, and simply play them using a separate player, but I'd much rather NOT be there to do it (I can designate the downloads, but I'm not going sit there for however long this download takes) so I have to create some sort of a script environment that creates a play queue or a player that simply plays everything in a single subdir once?

No way to tell without actually reading the error message, like authentication failed or such.

Unique problems with Paranoid Android 4.4.x ROMS for Xperia S / SL (Nozomi)

I tried updating my Xperia SL (LT26ii) from 6.2.B.1.96 (INDIA) to Paranoid Android 4.4.4 (PA versions 4.42, then 4.44 and lastly 4.45). In all the versions, all things run smoothly except for the camera. I get pink flickering screen everytime i switch on the camera. I am not able to view anything from the camera. Even after waiting for as long as 10 minutes, the camera does not get normalised and the pink flickering screen persists. Although, any pic clicked (even through the pink flickering screen) is getting captured normally without the pink effect.

This happens when the camera is in all modes (front / back / photo / recording), ONLY except when it is front camera video recording mode. In this mode, the camera screen does not show pink flickering screen.

I tried searching various forums for the solution but could not find one.

I reverted back to my original firmware and the camera was working fine. Later, i installed carbon ROM and the camera was still working fine.

Actually, i wanted to post this in ROM section, but me being new to the forum and NOT from the developer fraternity, am unable to do so, considering the restrictions.

If anyone can help me with this and PA can come up with a solution to the camera bug issue, would be great.

Thanks a ton in advance :)
[General Questions and Answers] Lelouch Lamperouge:
The process goes like Authentication -> Obtaining IP adress - it will be stuck in there for a minute or two then it will just say that it was Saved. Every time I reconnect it will just do the same. However, I tried experimenting with my girlfriend's phone, xperia mini (not sure about the name), we tried connecting in the same network name for a couple of times and her phone is the only one that can connect. Though hers still takes time to connect too. In some other public WiFi there's no problem on connecting. Do you think it's about WPA/WEP/etc encryption? Thanks about the reply.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
You are not supposed to let the battery run dead, it is very bad for the battery.

If you keep doing this, at some point, the battery will be stuck dead and not recharge.

Did you try a forget network and then try to connect again? How far are you from the router; could it be a signal issue? Do you have any problems connecting to other networks?
[General Questions and Answers] Lelouch Lamperouge:
Yes, I did that as well. Sometimes, I also get a message that says something like "can't connect because the signal is too weak or too far" <- I'm not sure about this. But when you look on the WiFi signal strength it's full. I don't know how far I am from the router since it's a public place (shopping mall) and I don't know where the router is located. I often experience this when I'm in a shopping mall, amusement park, etc. but I don't seem to experience this to some public WiFi from Starbucks, restaurant, etc. It's highly unlikely that there's an issue with the signal when people around me (shopping mall) doesn't seem to experience the same.

[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Lithium ion and lithium polymer batteries don't work that way. There's too much misinformation that's held over from NiCad and NiMH. But they're all different.

NiCads needed to be fully discharged and peak charged, or they would develop "memory" and dump or peak prematurely.

NiMH batteries shouldn't be completely dumped and are healthiest having a charge, but peaking isn't necessary.

Li-Ion and Li-po are completely different animals. It's very true that they shouldn't be completely discharged, because that can be

extremely

dangerous. The same is obviously true for overcharging. Go on youtube and find out what happens to overcharged lithium batteries. When it comes to discharging, lithium batteries can do this thing known as runaway discharge, where they discharge on their own, get too hot, and can catch fire and even explode. The gas that comes out is also extremely toxic.

Because of this, practically every lithium-based rechargeable battery has circuitry built in to each cell to prevent such things (unprotected cells can be purchased, but these are only used by people that know the dangers). Cell phones, cameras, portable speakers, cordless power drills, flashlights, laptops, etc. The batteries have built-in circuitry. Whenever you hear of Sony or Gateway laptops catching fire, or Galaxy S4s, it's because the circuitry on the battery was bad.

The protective circuitry on lithium rechargeables prevents overcharging, over-discharging, and shorts. As long as the circuitry isn't bad, you simply cannot catastrophically damage your battery by letting it drain to the point where the phone turns off. In fact, the phone'll die before the circuitry would kick in anyway, simply because there's not enough juice to keep the phone on (touch the battery to your tongue, and you'll still feel a zap).

It is true that lithium batteries like to have at least a medium charge to keep them "healthy", and that they degrade over time with each charge/discharge cycle. But worrying about your battery going to 0% and causing permanent damage is silly. Because 0% on your phone is not below the point where it damages the battery, never mind trips the circuitry to prevent actual damage.

The reality is that a lithium ion or lithium polymer battery in your pants pocket is potentially an impressive firework or even a bomb ready to go off next to the most sensitive parts of your anatomy. There's a reason that postal services have regulations regarding shipping these things. And that's why they all have circuitry built in to prevent such catastrophes from happening (and why you should never buy cheap batteries from China).

Use, charge, drain, and be happy and worry-free.
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
I am well aware of how these batteries work, but thanks for the explanation.

Your facts on draining the battery to 0 are a little off however.

The protection cir in li batteries differs depending on what it was made for. For instance, cordless power tool batteries have a different protection cir than cell phone batteries just because of the demand put on the battery.

Many phone batteries have been killed by running them to 0.

I'm not speculating, it is fact.

You should read a bit on batteryuniversity.com it is a very informative, highly reputable site.

There is no problem with your software. And no changes will fix your issue.

You can not run the battery to 0 or it will be hard to charge for a bit as you have seen.

The only way to fix your problem is to NOT run it down to 0.

I won't bother to reply about the battery issue since [MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5749364]Planterz[/MENTION] already covered all that very well.
[General Questions and Answers] Planterz:
Been there, done that. Many times and long ago. I used to be into custom flashlights (candlepowerforums). I've spent more on flashlights than some people have spent on their car (which might partially explain why I'm 34 and don't know how to drive).

If a battery gets permanently damaged by draining it to the point that the phone shuts down then there's something wrong with the battery. I won't argue that such a thing isn't possible or hasn't happened, because I'm sure it is and has. But that's what you get when you buy a cheap battery from China, or a cheap phone from China that comes with a cheap battery. Buy name brand phones and OEM batteries, and you shouldn't have any problems. Manufacturers aren't stupid, and they know some users will drain batteries to the point that their phones turn off. And therefor design batteries, circuitry, and software that their batteries won't be killed by such usage. It'd be idiotic for them not to.

As long as you're not using some cheap battery you bought from China off eBay (or such a phone that comes with one), but are using the original or OEM replacement, you should be just fine draining your battery to nothing. Yes, you'll get more longevity if you keep it at least somewhat charged, but we're talking a few percent's capacity over hundreds of cycles at most.

Regardless, nothing lasts forever. Worrying about how you use your cellphone and how it affects the battery's lifespan is practically pointless.

This is my first post so be easy with me please. I have been running CM11 snapshots on my T-Mobile galaxy sIII for a long while and so far so good. However as of last three months or so I have had some serious issues with sms. I'm not sure if it is a carrier/network issue or perhaps a cm issues maybe it's not even on my side but when I get text messages from one particular contact, who uses an iPhone, every couple of messages end with the world "null." Usually it's a long message and I only receive the first half and then it ends with "null." I have tried numerous different sms apps like hangouts and sliding cm messaging, but I typically prefer the stock sms app. I'm not sure what to do to fix it and I haven't found anybody else with this issue. It's really frustrating to have to ask this contact to resend messages multiple times just to get the jist of what they're saying. I hope there's a solution. I have flashed new snapshot of CM and I just recently updated the modem. Everything else works perfectly just this sms issue is bugging me.

PS. I've tried a clean install and the problem is still present. I had posted a screen shot over in the cm forums but because I am a noob to Xda I can't post external links yet.

Not sure where to start with nVidia Shield Tablet

Hey guys,

I havent been on this site since back in G1 old school android days. Bought an iphone strictly for music and was going to college so didnt really have any time or means to continue my androiding days. Anyway, I recently won an iPad Mini from work, sold it to buy an nVidia Shield Tablet and now im back. So im not expecting to find out my modding/hacking solutions here i jsut would like to be pointed in the right direction of where to post my questions and ideas pertaining to my device. I didnt see any location on the site for my Tablet (Probably because its brand new) but i just wanted to see if there was any kinda hidden area that its being discussed.

Im just trying to figure out how to get my SMB shares from my windows mounted on the device so i can access it as normal storage, but from what i understand i need a cifs.ko to run from withing the CIFSManager application. And if this is the case do i need a specific cifs.ko file made for 4.4.2?

Xenonhd ROM

Hi All...

I'm definitely a noob to both XDA and to custom ROMs. A little background: I have a Nexus 7 tablet that i purchased in late 2012. About six months after getting it I learned on this site how to unlock and root it, which I did successfully. I then learned, again from XDA, how to flash a custom ROM and gapps. I went with the Sentinal ROM, which was really cool and fun to use up until the developer decided to stop supporting it. Well, now I have switched to the Xenonhd ROM, which is friggin awesome. I never thought I could have so much fun with my Nexus 7. That said, there's a couple of weird things happening with this ROM that would probably be fixed by just down loading an update.

So, I have a question regarding the Xenonhd ROM. I downloaded an update that I've tried repeatedly to flash (using Titanium) each time with a "failed" message. I've tried downloading the update several more times, but still no success. Do I need to downloan updates in succession of their release and flash them one at a time, or can I download the latest update? I don't know if I was supposed to ,but I did a full wipe with each flash attempt. AND...what is "Kitkat" and is that something I need to download first? Thank you to anyone and everyone who graciously takes the time to help me.
