[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leesumm:
Thank you for the information, although with all the reading this morning on the GS4 and the HTC one I think I am more confused than before. I still don't know for sure what the difference is between the HTC and the Galaxy as for the root procedure. Then, enters the ODIN thing? Unlocking seems easier with the HTCDEV than whatever the procedure for the GS4, but the software review from Engadget makes the GS4 seem more appealing than the HTC out of box for me anyway. But , still with all the reading there is conflicts as to what I see whether the GS4 can be unlocked. From what I read, HTC is easier to unlock and S-OFF than the Samsung also. AS I understand it , TWRP cannot be used on the GS4 as with the same on HTC and CWM could not in the early stages. I am used to the TWRP for recovery but have used the CWM since it was altered for the HTC. Like some of the DEVS , plastic or aluminum it doesn't really matter as there will a case of some sorts on either one if nothing more than to protect from scratches.

All in all it sounds as if the Galaxy has the better software than the HTC One and IF the devs incorporate the features in the custom roms , it would make the GS4 a better device for me any way. I guess it comes down to the wait period for my upgrade to see what the DEVS come up with for customs and which one will win.

Just wanted to share thus with everyone. Something u never thought about. u went from a note 2. To the HTC one. My god ny data consumption has tripled. U watch a lot if YouTube videos and twitch.tv. Never thought about the massive data increase from resolution!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] YoungAceAtlanta:
Kinda same for me. But the Note 2 made me want to watch more media due to its screen size.

The speakers on my HTC One make me want to listen to more audio

Might wanna change the tittle. Kinda misleading to me. I thought you was talking about how much it would cost to replace it.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] NJGSII:
Native youtube app doesn't support 1080p. There is an apk on here that is supposed to but it has some bugs on it at the moment.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sabre31:
Do you guys miss the note 2 screen and battery. I have one but miss my note 2 at least for now.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] seh6183:
Hilarious. The youtube app doesn't even support 1080p lol
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aooga:
Are you trolling? The screen resolution has nothing to do with data usage.

1. The youtube app doesn't even support 1080p

2. If you use other apps that do support it, just change it to 720p and you'll be back to where you were with the note2.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ChristopherXDA:
It makes sense that you use more data with a higher resolution phone *with* the faster LTE data connection, since your media apps will push the better content. I'm coming from a 4S so this is something new I'll have to be aware of. Thanks OP.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] aooga:
Theoretically. But most apps aren't optimized for the 1080p screen so all the content will stream in 720p anyway. And LTE has nothing to do with how much you use it. (Unless of course since its so fast you use it more :) )

Hey

On my one x i couldb disable an app.v can this be done on the s4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhanali_:
Yes.

Go to app manager under settings and swipe from right to left to bring all apps, click on the app you would like to disable and you can disable it from there.

Cheers
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxfordmark:
Hmmm it won't disable kik or what's app. You can disable the Samsung apps!

Bye bye story board, SamsungOn....0.91mb of RAM in use now

Is that ok to do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nodyarg:
Hi i have a telus T989D, stock unrooted. I was trying to open a picture in my gallery and my phone restarted, then it showed the samsung loading screen and at about 75% it restarted again. Then it just vibrated, paused, vibrated, paused, etc. and its a blank screen. I tried holding volume down + power and it takes me into download mode warning screen, but it shuts itself off before i can do anything and continues this blank screen vibrating loop. ive tried pulling the battery, but the second i put it back in it loads the samsung screen, restarts and continues the loop. if i cant even get it to stay in download mode is it even possible to fix this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazierokz:
sounds to me like you have a sticky power button (very common) on these phones/samsung !!! so if wiggling a took pick in there and un jamming it a bit then you need to send it in try leaving your battery out for like 10 min take out sim cards memory everything leave it sitting ..... then try again

My XDA has been a real pain for the last couple of days - i spent 3 hours last night getting tomtom3 installed (wouldn't install itself froze after copying the .cab files on there, ended up using a manual installer).

Thought all was good but today if i click on 'reply' or 'new' in my inbox then nothing happens - it just sits there, still in the inbox.

I know it's vague - but has anyone had any experience with this or any advice?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonezy8873:
Yeah its good. You can do it with 12.10 or 12.04 with some fiddling but it always froze on me :( Ubuntu 13.04 is ace.

I tried it a couple of times with 12.10, but it never worked and I always ended up using adb.

It works for me too.

I have ubuntu 12.04, whats the best and easiest way for me to update and keep my dualboot with Windows8, last time i tried it wiped my windows7 out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wh1t3Rose:
Just run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" in terminal. Did this a few days ago and and I have a Windows 8/ Ubuntu dual boot.

Just in case after the update you find you can boot Ubuntu but not windows just open up terminal in Ubuntu and type "sudo update-grub. Then you can boot windows.

Toro | Carbon | AK SKL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
You should first update to 12.10 and then to 13.04.

I suggest you to use update manager, rather than command lines in terminal. I used terminal and messed up my ubuntu. So I installed the 13.04 iso, but lost all the programs.

But if you still want to use command lines:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

sudo do-release-upgrade

you will update to 12.10 and then the same to update 13.04.

P.S. In all the ways above you won't lose your windows and the /home if its in another partition.

Try this app. It should do what you want. It has play/prev/next.

About to update Ubuntu right now! Can't wait to try this out

I Ran All the Command Lines And It Seemed To be Updating Because A lot Of Code Ran Across The Screen And Blah Blah, But When It Was Done It STill Said 12.04, Also When I Rebooted It It Said 12.04
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wh1t3Rose:
Did you run sudo do-release-upgrade? I forgot that command.

You may have to download the ISO and do a fresh install since you can't do an upgrade

Go to update-manager. You must allow non-LTS releases.

Do you get a black screen with acpi enabled? You can edit your kernel to support acpi_off.

I tried that. It worked with acpi off. It worked but then eats the battery like hell. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spearman792:
Does this functionality work out of the box on Ubuntu?

I've given Ubuntu a try several times, but I can never stick with it. 13.04 was running really smoothly when I tried it (back in March or so), but the apps on Ubuntu are really lacking. LibreOffice is nice, but it really is nowhere near where Microsoft Office is, and I also needed a good PDF editor for school. I figure I'll probably try it again at 13.10
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daniil1410:
Yeah. It even works when loaded from a usb stick.

You can install office with Wine. You know?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sw6lee:
Hi guys,

I have a Galaxy S2X from Koodo (same as the Hercules in Tmobile), and when I was using the stock touchwiz rom, google plus hangout was working fine, but when I use a MIUI or CM10 stable ROMs, google plus hangout volume is really really low. I can hear the other people very quietly, but they can hear me fine. I went to settings, and maxed all the volume settings, and still I can't hear them well. I searched about this on google and many other people seem to have this problem, but I couldn't find any solution. Every thread just ended without any solution. And Google doesn't really reply in their forum. I hate to go back to Touchwiz rom, as I hate the look of status bar where the battery icon is green, and everything is ugly in my opinion. I like the minimalistic look of MIUI status bar, and CM10 or AOKP with minimal theme that makes it look clean.

I really hope someone can help me.

Thanks SO much!
[General Accessories] morridoom2:
I'm currently looking for suggestions and feedback on and external battery power extender specifically for my Nexus 4, and maybe for an iPad occasionally.

I've been skimming online all day, looking at different brands and models. One battery that seems to fit my needs is from a company named New Trent:

http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-NT7...qid=1367450278&sr=8-1&keywords=newtrent+nt70t

Anyone have any previous experience with this company and their products?

I'm mainly planning to use this to keep my phone charged when I'm not near any wall plugs or when I'm on vacation.

How much extra charge should I expect from this battery pack?

Any insights on this would be much appreciated.
[General Accessories] gilbequick:
I don't know about their batteries but they do make some killer micro fiber styluses.

You'd probably get 2 good charges out of that back up pack, assuming their #s are solid.
[General Accessories] ocdavid:
I haven't tried that specific brand, but I have used a few others. I currently use the Motorola P893 (89536N) which is only an 1860mAh battery pack and I get about an 80-85% charge on my Galaxy S II 1850mAh battery. So if it's anything like this one, expect about 80% of the rated capacity to be actually usable. Thus 7000mAh would translate into about 5600mAh of useable juice. The Nexus 4 has a 2100mAh battery, so I would guess you would get a solid 2 charges and still have some juice left over.

Hope that helps.
[General Accessories] BradEK:
Monoprice.com has a nice external pack for a great price. I have one and like it.

I can't post links yet, but its under $29 for a 5000Mah pack.
[General Accessories] crampedagain:
Interesting, going check this site out
[General Accessories] VaporizerX024X:
New Trent

I am a beta tester for New Trent and they have wonderful products. I currently have the PowerPak + NT135T. It has 13500 mAh which is huge considering most phones have close to 2000 mAh. I can charge my Nexus 7 (2013) and HTC One at the same time without a hiccup. It's only $54 and can recharge a Nexus 4 5 times.
[General Accessories] vectron:
If you go on amazon and search for external batteries, the #1 brand with thousands of 5-star comments is Anker. I have reviewed every brand of external batteries, and wrote a ton of detailed reviews in the sticky of this Accessory section of XDA (and in my sig link). I have looked at Anker, New Trent, RAVPower, Yoobao, etc... A lot of good trusted brands, but customer support, warranty (18-months), variety, and recent 2nd gen introduction to stay ahead of other cookie-cutter CH generic brands really sets them apart.

Heyo,

as I'm not sure yet how to get the stock apps from the stock ROM into an .apk I would like to know if anyone has been able to get the stock apps for the ZL.

[HTC EVO 3D] n3ik:
Hi, I have an HTC EVO 3D with HBOOT 1.53.0007 UNLOCKED S-ON [GSM] I was running the Viper3D rom sense 4 r330 with no problems. I recently decided to flash back an older version using 4ext. Now, everytime I finish flashing r284, my phone always boots into 4ext recovery saying "4EXT SmartFlash is currently set to update your boot partition on next system start. Is this wanted or should it be removed? Remove SmartFlash?" and I press the no button. Then I try to reboot, but it goes back to 4ext. Am I doing something wrong? Can someone help me boot into this rom?
[HTC EVO 3D] HTCLittleMonster:
I know it's probably a bit late, and I do hope you've got the issue sorted, but did you select the option to do a full wipe before the installation of Viper3D? It should have the option in Aroma to do that.

The only other thing that I can suggest (after learning from all of my panic attacks over this phone) is to re-lock your bootloader and run the RUU for your device and then start over when you're ready.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulzero:
Coming from the samsungs which was pretty straightforward in rooting and custom roms.

I see there are custom roms for locked bootloaders, which won't lose Bravia engine. So what are the benefits in unlocking it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddhouse:
Use of more roms which only work on UB, can't loose Cwm, you can run cm android 4.2.2 and asop, ect which you can't on LB
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DreadPirateDan:
That's cause samsung has an unlocked bootloader straight out of the box.

Locked bootloader = no custom kernels at all
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Hey guys, today i was using my DHD when a usual random reboot occurred, but this time the phone got caught in a bootloop, (I really have no idea why) as with Android 4.2 you now have to register a computer to the phone for ADB to become 'Online'. I know this isn't really a problem for others but my volume down key actually died last week, ADB isn't playing very nicely at all, as it comes up as 'Offline'. I really need your help guys, i have work tomorrow so i really need it. Anythings appreciated. Thanks guys.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Bump
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
If you are in a bootloop and therefore your device is not turning on, you won't be able to use adb commands. What about booting in hboot or recovery and reflashing the rom or a RUU?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
I thought about hboot and recovery, but my volume buttons are completely dead, so the phone will just go ahead and attempt to boot normally, back in the Nexus One days I could remove the battery and insert it again whilst plugging a usb cable in, that would get it into recovery, but it doesnt work (as guessed) with my DHD
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
It is not a wise decision to be messing with a broken device. I am afraid to say that until you can solve the volume rocker issue you won't be able to fix it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] humzaahmed155:
Yeah, i'll take it to repair tomorrow and get the volume keys sorted out, then i'll be able to reflash my rom, thanks for the reply though. :)

EDIT: I discovered that ADB is actually running when the phone is switched off, I typed adb reboot recovery, and it booted into recovery!

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuyInTheCorner:
Nice, thanks for the heads up :good:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
It works like that. Turn off the device, plug in USB cable and adb detects it. I don't know if that works on all devices, but it does on ours. It's an easy way to boot into recovery/bootloader if volume buttons are damaged. But this is too late. :p

I been running 4.2.1 roms for awhile with no problems I wanted to try a 4.2.2 rom It flash ok, but I notice problems right away the home button didn't work the quick settings wasn't working none of the settings wouldn't change with out a restart.I thought it was the rom, So I cleared the data and flashed other roms and it was doing the same thing. I restore to stock, then I flashed a rom a again with the same problems! Anyone have an idea what it might be?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
You said you cleared data? Is that all? Did you clear cache and dalvik cache? If not, you should.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
yup did that may times

what roms did you try?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
Yeah gapps-jb-20130301
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
If you wiped everything, flashed the ROM and flashed the right gapps, this shouldnt be happening. So I dont know. When you went back to stock, was it stock 4.2.2? If so, you had no issues that you are mentioning when you were on that? Home button, quick settings were all fine?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
that seems like a older gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
Correct

What apps do you recommend then?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Its the one I use and they work fine.

the date just seems older... i cant look at the one recommended for sourcery since im at work.

are you restoring data from anything like TiBu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Ok, so ROM is ok, gapps are ok, flashing process is ok. What recovery are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
I even flashed other Kernels with no luck
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
This could be another possible cause
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
I used twrp 2.5 for 4.2.2, but when I was on 4.2.1 used 2.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiddude24:
No, This is happening right after flashing the rom with no apps, data
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
I dont know what to say man. Your phone doesnt like 4.2.2 ROMs. The only thought I have is TWRP is causing something to mess up. I dont use TWRP. I never liked it. I've always used Clockwork Mod Recovery.
