your screen is defective, or your gray page isn't actually solid gray. go into a drawing app and make a solid black or white or gray page and confirm it's actually the screen and not the apps you're using.

there's no burn in on amoled. only defective screens
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themissionimpossible:
You can also test your display dialing the code *#0*# and checking the 3 solid color screens (red, green, blue).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edyboy:
As far as i know Amoled suffers in burn in. My friend's S1 and my S2 has it. Noticeable especially in low brightness. When backgrounds are gradient of black to gray, the screen looks dirty on low brightness. I saw an S3 on Samsung shop had a very visible burn in of a clock widget even on max brightness.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
Due to the different aging characteristics of the individual subpixels you will get a burn-in like screen after a while, especially where content is frequently shown. Like the clock in the notification bar. After a while/few months that spot will be seen when watching a solid colored background for example. Is the case on EVERY amoled screen there is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinzomask:
Thanks for the replies.

I have tested it using a lcd test app and it is noticeable on a solid grey or white background. It's patches of faded pixels.

Was wondering if anyone with a S4 has the same problem and where would I stand with getting it replaced.

I can understand that amoleds suffer from screen burnin after sometime but not when it's brand new. My old s3 is perfect and I've had that for nearly a year.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themissionimpossible:
IMHO get it replaced.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyLe:
My S4 also does this. Black and white are very good, but grey isn't very good. Check te picture below. I have also added the picture I tested it with.

Should I return it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickslife89:
i wouldnt put up with that. I had the same thing on my first s4, had it for an hour and said im not living with that, took it back to att and got a new one. now its perfect! ;)

swap that out
[Android Apps and Games] dakdroid:
There are quite a lot of users (especially in germany) who get very low download speeds at Youtube.

One solution might be to block several youtube IPs:

see here

So I created this app, which uses the iptables command to block those IP ranges.

It requires root to add blocked ips.

It may not work on your device. (Works on my Nexus 4 with latest ParanoidAndroid)

Just hit "Speed Up" once to add the IPs to the blocklist.

To undo hit "Undo" .

Let me know if you see a difference.

This is not permanent! A reboot will undo the changes.

For a permanent solution, check out this post by 5pace:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=40918388&postcount=4

-Cheers dak

You can do this in a terminal without the app aswell (this is what the app does):

switch to root, then:

"Speed Up" commands:

iptables -A INPUT -s 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP

iptables -A INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j DROP

Undo commands:

iptables -D INPUT -s 173.194.55.0/24 -j DROP

iptables -D INPUT -s 206.111.0.0/16 -j DROP

List:

iptables -L INPUT -v -n | less

DOWNLOAD V1.01:

USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK ! The app has ZERO error handling and was coded in about 10 minutes.

Awesome!

Tried it right now, works perfectly.

Had to restart to see the effect. Now Youtube seems to load a lot faster. Will report again after watching some videos. ;)

Thank you a lot!

Some infos:

- Sony Xperia Z (Stock rooted)

- Tested with 3G and WiFi.

Thanks, but rebooting seems to undo the blocking.

Sometimes you just get lucky and get a faster download.

The init.d way

Well I already posted a 'init.d' method on Reddit, so I thought it would be just as good to share it here! :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KalamiGeek:
Hi guys, i'm on Cyanogenmod 4.2.2 on my N7000, and I ask me a question,

Can I format EMMC on the recovery ?

Because my Galaxy Note reboot, has a lot of bug etc.

So, i have format Data, preload, cache system etc, but not EMMC.

Can I format it without brick my Note ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
short answer: yes

reason: because you can and super brick bug was only on ics 4.0.4
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Yes, you may.

As for what the guy above said, Samsung said they fixed it in jb , buy nobody is brave enough to try.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
i tried thrice on jb 4.12 stock no problem
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
And that makes it safe?

It is probable that you may brick on ICS, not 100% guaranteed that it will brick when you wipe. The same may be said for JB too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
the problem was emmc_cap as i remember they removed it in some kernels from 4.0.4 but samsung got rid of it 2 in 4.1.2 completly
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
They didn't disable the emmc_cap_erase command, they did some other fix. A developer expressed his doubts about that somewhere, I can't seem to find the thread...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
i think we are worrying the OP with this kind of talk he wanted to know about cm4.2.2 and we are talking about 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 i know their sources are from 4.1.2 but they are experts with this so i don't think the risk is there so to the OP put ur trust in CM team and me and this guy are not responcible for anything that happens to ur phablet :D

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chopper32uk:
Have got ActiveSync V3.7.1 but have problems connecting the XDA2 after it has been initially bonded via USB. After I bond it for the first time, whether or not it will connect is completely random, some days it will but more often than not it won't connect.

When I place the XDA2 in the cradle, XDA2 turns on and the signal bar changes as if you were connecting to internet. On the desktop the activesync icon turns green and tries to connect. However, after a second the screen on the XDA2 appears to 'refresh' and the signal bar returns back to normal and I cannot sync. The poor desktop meanwhile still attempts to connect to no avail.

Soft resets don't work, re-installing ActiveSync doesn't fix the problem either. Removed all partnerships and can connect and sync first time round when you bond the devices, but after that, I get problems. Can anybody help?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] chopper32uk:
Anybody?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrissssssss:
I had my first data warning in the 6 months of owning my phone last week. I don't usually use that much so was confused when I noticed Android OS had used over 400MB this month.

Checking the data graphs the usage suddenly shot up around the time I installed Tasker. One of the first things I did was randomise the wallpaper every 10 minutes. I'm guessing my phone is backing this up every time it changes. I've turned it off and the data usage of Android OS is back to tiny amounts.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrissssssss:
I'm using Nova Launcher and every time I change the wallpaper the data usage goes up by about 2.5MB. Switching back to TouchWiz see to fix the problem. Looks like Android backuping the Nova app or settings for a wallpaper change.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrissssssss:
Actually even with TouchWiz the data is still going up. Spoke too soon.

That would be the question: At development time, are there recommendations, guidelines or best practice to achieve an easy port process from Android to iOS?

I don't mean auto-port, but developing the same application for iOS, design approachs that could help avoiding future issues, just to maintain application-logic. I think both Objective-C and Java are OOPL, so they could share some app design.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke484:
I am not sure if I have a bricked phone, but I feel it's a phone without an OS.

I was trying to root the phone and get a Custom ROM installed. As I was reading through several forums, I found few rooting softwares and steps. I did all those, but seemed like the phone was not getting rooted. Then I read that I need to have an Unlocked Bootloader. I went to the Sony Site and got the Unlocking code. But what I did was I unlocked it after I had tried the other steps of rooting. It doesn't seem to have any recovery stuff installed as I am not able to boot in recovery. When it starts, the SONY display will come and a blank screen then again the same stuff repeats as if it is trying to start but cannot find an OS to boot into.

I know that I should have done the Unlocking first and then the root installation and stuff, but now I want to know if I can get an OS installed in this. Now I am not able to install the stock ROM using Sony Update Service as it shows the message: "The Phone contains modified software that cannot be updated".

Can someone help me out here with installing a custom ROM.

Thanks,

Vineeth

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberT3:
Hi,

I noticed that ram usage on galaxy s4 is very high even when all of the apps are closed. I have used task manager to close all of the apps and then cleared the memory but there was still about 1.05GB of ram used. I don't know if this is normal since I haven't been using android phone for 2 years. Can somebody tell me if this is normal and why? If not what can I do to fix it? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
its normal for s4... some stock apps are being cached in memory for faster operations
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.amtom:
unused ram is wasted ram. If an app needs extra space, something will be automatically killed to make that space.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
all of this is true... also keep in mind, the gpu requires slightly more ram because of the 1080p resolution.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberT3:
Ok. Thank you all for the help ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sadekmefti:
This is the problem of Sammy ROMs, the only way to fix it is to... wait for a Custom ROM and Flash it ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed534:
this is normal on SGS4 .

Reasons of that are mainly GPU and HQ resolution , cached services and process, and even more if you are using the included extra features (S-voice, NFC ...)

But the SGS4 come with 2 gb of RAM ! you still get like 800 free mb of memory that is good enough for all you needs :)))

Personally when I close all apps i get 0.91 gb used memry and 0.9bg free memory

Want more space in internal even after using Link2SD....Get the most out of your Link2SD:laugh:

What You Need:

Link2sd

Rooted device

Root Explorer or other file manager that have root access

sdext on your sdcard (ext2 or ext3 or ext4, it's up to you)

init.d support

Steps:

Install Link2sd

Open link2sd

Choose your ext depend on your sdext

Restart your phone manually, not from link2sd

Go to Link2sd settings

uncheck all Link2SD options

exit from link2sd

Open root explorer or other file manager that have root access

Go to /data/sdext2, delete all folder if any

Go back to /data

Copy app, data, app-private, and dalvik-cache to /sdext2 ( Dont move them as it leads to bootloop)

Wait till its over

Go to /sdext2

Create shortcut of all the folders you just copied (Long press the "app" folder, scroll down, and choose "Create Shortcut")

Go back to /data, and choose create shortcut

Repeat this for data, app-private, and dalvik-cache

After that, restart your phone twice, and look at internal storage.

If your phone become laggy, don't move data, just copy the other 3 folders

Internal Memory after linking one app in normal Link2SD

Internal Memory after linking the same app in Link2SD Extreme

Internal Memory after uninstalling Maps,Youtube and Quickoffice

If your facing force close then wipe data and cache before doing this...
