yeah low signal can drain battery because the phone will start search for signal. the best way to tell if you have low signal is when the phone start switching from 4g, 3g, and 1X.

There's a pre-order that started for the TVLT VU Qi Charger that was seen earlier this year in CES 2013. There's currently about 50 slots left for the $39 price, so hurry! After that, there will be 300 slots for the $49 price. After that, the price will change to $59. Retail price will be $69.99.

Free shipping to anywhere in the U.S. There's also estimated shipping costs to international countries like Canada($29) and London($40) on the website.

Here's the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/800343142/vu-wireless-charger-free-positioning-wireless-char
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DizzC:
The $30 shipping to Canada really kills the deal for me. That seems pretty outrageous.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
Thanks for the heads up. Been waiting for this since ces.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Why are they going Kickstarter? They had a preorder going then cancelled. Now this? I guess this way because they can't mass produce a full production run and further delay to August? It was supposed to be delayed til July IIRC. Now no go. For 49 bux (current available Early Bird), that's not horrible. I always wanted the Tylt for home. Let's see if they can Kickstart this this time.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] r1nstang:
my biggest complaint about all these wireless charges is when i lay my nexus 4 flat on them its sitting right on the speaker and i cant hear my alarm. i had to put some weatherstripping on my current wireless charger so that it lifts the bottom of the phone just slightly off of the charger so the speaker isnt blocked...and still allows it to connect to charge
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Can't you just put the phone in landscape on the charger so that the speaker is uncovered? Yes it would hang, but the speaker wouldn't be covered. This is of course if you have the LG flat charger. I am unsure if this would work on the Energizer one, that one is a bit bigger lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kgdg:
Does anybody know if this can do a trickle charge (i.e. when phone reaches 100%, tylt will stop charging it, but when phone reaches down to 95%, will it start charging it back up to 100% again).?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Panzer500:
Asked that question and their reply:

So if I am understanding it correctly it does...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
My Tylt is in!

Order placed on 7/3 and received today! I got the black one. So far works as advertised. Pics in the thread below. I was the original pre-orders from the beginning of the year and got it for the Kickstarter price of 39bux. Worth it for that!

I have transferred all my contacts from my mobile phone SIM to my XDA

using the SIM manager. I have now updated my contacts on my XDA

adding addresses and other details.

If I want to transfer these updated contacts back to a SIM, what

details will go across to the SIM? Is it just name and telephone

number?

Thanks.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
i think that what your cellphone can display as contact info is what the sim can hold infomationwise
[General Topics] ukmctc:
sim contacts

Only the basic names and mumbers will be saved on sim.

If you want tho save the full addresses etc then you need to save your contacts file in full to your memory card, or to your PC. You can also save using backup.

You can also save them in outlook.

Its a real pain but the PDA looses everything but the basics if the battery goes down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] blazinazn:
Anyone know where I can find a list of pre installed apps that came on the Note 2? After the last OTA update, I went in and foolishly deleted a few system apps using root explorer and I probably won't be able to get the next OTA update because it checks your system apps before upgrading. I don't have a custom recovery installed because I didn't want to trip the flash counter so waiting for a dev to create an .zip file wouldn't help me since I wouldn't have a way to install it.

Its been awhile so I've forgotten which system apps I deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Screwbal:
Anyone agree that its safe to assume if I setup my own private vpn at home I can vpn through that as an encrypted session which will stop att from snooping my data, then in turn if I vpn first then run a hotspot they'd be none the wiser?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wiggmpk:
I would say a resounding NO. They don't care if your data is encrypted or not, VPN will do absolutely nothing to mask the amount of packet data your device is sending/receiving. You most likely don't have unlimited data (if you did before) and will probably be charged per gigabyte if you go over your monthly allowance.

From my understanding, carriers really cant stop you from tethering without a "tethering plan" once your device is rooted. I believe that's why most carriers got rid of unlimited data and moved to the tiered data plans. If you happen to somehow still have unlimited data and generate a lot of bandwidth, once they realize that your using an absurd amount of data without a tethering plan, they will hit you hard with overage charges. I think Verizon charges per kilobyte, not sure about AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Screwbal:
I still have unlimited LTE data with AT&T but know if I hit 5GB in a month they throttle the hell out of me since I've hit it before. The reason I ask is if/when I'd ever use it then it would be more for a light connection like say if the GF wants to use the ipad in the car on a road trip. Or if I get some on call issue for work where I need a connection for my laptop on the go but not as a replacement for any large data transfers.

I just thought part of how the carriers tell that people are tethering would be say if you have an android phone and they start to notice traffic from your device to say Windows Update or the ITunes store and hence the VPN encryption if used day to day would mask any calls later that would be tethering related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kylecore:
They can't tell if you're tethering plain and simple.

Your phone is sending and receiving the packets so thats all they see, if an app or your phone broadcasts those packets it doesn't matter as your phone is the connection point.

At the end of the day your phone is asking to go to youtube.com if it gives youtube to your iPad all you carrier see is that your phone wants youtube, not why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chaosclarity:
The safest way to tether is to always use a VPN on the client that your tethered to your hotspot with. There are some great super cheap VPNs out there that have great bandwidth and good security.

Carriers can definitely tell if you're tethering - this isn't rocket science when you're using packet capturing tools. If you're constantly going to websites with a desktop browser they can see from the browser stats that it's a desktop vs mobile.

The other method is perhaps capturing the mac address off the packet isn't from a mobile-branded device. Since the phone hotspot is NAT'ing all the traffic from your own little private lan to the outside public addressing it *should* only contain the phone's IP and MAC, but depending on the packets it could also contain information from a device within the private lan (mac addresses). I have never tested this but in theory it's possible.

It's one thing to tether a tablet or another phone, most likely seems you would probably not get caught doing that.. but still possible. Tethering your desktop/laptop.. yea you'll get caught.

Like I said, use a VPN and you most likely won't be caught.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulcrash:
Hey guys,

i have watched all the reviews, read so many threads at xda, and asked some people about their experience with the one, but there are still some questions left that just owners of the one can tell.

There are already so much Cyanogen and AOKP roms for the one, but how do they perform in daily use? Ive heard that htc devices arent the most custom rom friendly devices, so are there any doubts that there will be a fully working cyanogen/aokp build in the near future?

Ive seen kernels adding the functionality of a capacitive button to the htc logo - is this just a workaround, that just works if the finger touches the screen above the logo, or is the logo a real button? If it is just a workaround, does it work flawless?

AOKP/Cyanogen roms and three capacitive buttons are a must have for me, so please, tell me your opinion about my doubts.

Thanks a lot!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
HTC logo is not a real button. It works by touching the top where the digitizer is.

Sent from my HTC One
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulcrash:
Thanks for your answer.

So the area around the logo, not the logo itself is capacitive? Does it work as responsive as the back and home keys?

I really need three fully working and responsive buttons, if the logo-mod is unresponsive at times this would be a no-go for me...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsktkr1:
I think the HTC One will be able to handle anything Cyanogen Mod can throw at it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
In fact, HTC has traditionally attracted the biggest and most dev teams for ROMS and Kernels. The HTC logo has absolutely no capacitive capabilities, the kernel just makes the last few pixels on the screen near the logo to activate it.

I wouldn't go for AOSP/CM roms just yet as camera quality (which is a big selling point) will be worse as they do not have proper drivers to interact with ImageSense yet :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soulcrash:
Thanks for your answer. I know that AOKP/CM builds are in a very early stage, but does the future look good, or are there any concerns that some major issues may never be solved?

Oh okey, i`ve already thought that. Have you used that mod and is it reliable anyway?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
There isn't any major issues that need to be solved, and if the HTC One Google Edition is real, it should come with the necessary drivers to power all the hardware, which AOSP/CM can then use on their ROMs and Kernels :)

I have not tested it yet cos I have not unlocked my phone. The NFC chip isn't working properly so I'm gonna send mine back for an exchange before doing anything that may void my warranty :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsine:
I have a question .... I have installed many roms .... These days i unistalled Aroma Rom to install paranoid Android .....After the installation a folder with name "0" appeared and it has 5.6 gb of size ..it includes all the files and apps folders and Camera folder music from the previous rom ...Ok i copped music and photo but it still 3.2 gb in size ....After that i installed slim Bean Rom .....Ok after the installation a "0" file appeared and includes the folders from paranoid android and the previous "0" file ..

Now the new "0" is 4 gb in size ...i managed to delete all apps folders and some 0mb files ....

Now the only files that are big in size in folder "0" is 0/clockworkmod/Blobs (1.2gb) is a folder inside the clockworkmod folder and another folder called Odd(2gb) and some other folder 1-10mb each .It is safe to delete folder "0" to get rid of these uselles 4gb of space waste is the clockworkmod/blobs and the odd file neccesery ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
CWM blobs is your nandroid backup if I am not wrong.

odd includes e.g. the downloaded data of games as far as I know.

I would clean the phone and do a fresh installation of the rom including a mega wipe before (deletes anything except the SDcard), as long as this is an option for you.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsine:
So you thing i can delete manually from widnwos the file "0" ...?And all the subfolder to get rid of 4gb?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killall:
If you flash a 4.2.x rom this will create an /sdcard/0/ folder on your internal storage and move all your files in there.

With Android 4.2, Google introduced multiple users as a new feature. In order to accommodate multiple users, Google is now giving each user a their own folder for storage. If you upgraded to 4.2 from 4.1, then the 4.2 ROM will look for a certain file in /data to determine whether it needs to migrate all of your files to the new multi-user data structure. By default, 4.2 migrates all of /data/media to /data/media/0.

A problem arose though with custom recoveries. A custom recovery retains the /data/media folder during a factory reset. When you factory reset and then boot a 4.2 ROM again, the 4.2 ROM will migrate everything in /data/media again. It will migrate your files every time you factory reset. This multiple migration is what resulted in some people having their files moved to /sdcard/0 or even /sdcard/0/0 etc. (Use latest TWRP or CWP to prevent further nesting of 0 folders).

DO NOT DELETE.

For some reason the multiuser setup is included in phone firmware even though the function is not enabled.

Uninstall your present GTalk and install GTalk from an external source then make it a system app if you want. This may stop showing you updates as you haven't downloaded GTalk from the Play Store.

Thank you! My OG was rooted using UNREVOKED and I believe that gave me S-OFF and threw a custom recovery on--possibly, it's been a while but I remember that it was very easy and there were literally hundreds of combinations of kernels, radios and ROM you could flash. That unit was truly customizable. I'm not sure why I moved on to the LTE. Oh well, it is nice and is fast, maybe that's why. I'll start with your sig and go from there.

Not sure if you're still looking for advice but if so, via htcevohacks.com and download the EVO4GLTERoot2 zip. Follow their instructions on how to root. Simple and easy to follow. As far as S-off goes, try facepalm (look for it here on XDA) but being that you are on the most recent firmware, you may have to use dirty racun like I did. A bit complicated but it works nonetheless. Find dirty racun at unlimited.io

Hi,

I currently have an S3 running CM10.1.0-RC2-d2att

Apparently there is a known issue with battery draining fairly quickly on this release. Is there anything I can do to fix this other than flashing a nightly (as I don't really know how stable those releases are)? Any tips is greatly appreciated!

Also - if I do have to flash a nightly, can I simply update it from the settings menu, or will I lose ALL MY DATA and flash it the manual way?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
If you don't factory reset, you won't lose your data. That's what we call a dirty flash, you'll have to clear cache/dalvik and system though.

And until updated, not much you can do to fix the battery drain. Other than use another ROM or try nightlys until it is fixed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
You can simply clear cache and davlik cache before flashing. You can try the 524 nightly release. I had the best battery life on that nightly and there were no bugs at all.

Rc2 was extremely buggy. The few nightlies after that are even more refined.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon12:
Thanks for the reply!

So can I just update it through the rom? (System Settings -> About Phone -> CyanogenMod Updates -> cm-10.1-20130525-NIGHTLY)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Domoo:
524. I'm not too sure about 525. I think that's just a method of downloading the rom, not flashing it. Simply flash it via cwm
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackdragon12:
Will download right now and flash. Will post back results shortly.

Looks like 24 was removed from their server :(

EDIT: Just flashed the 29th nightly. Hope it all works...!
