For to see if the game its really stable (mean NO fps drops) you should use fps meter with all stats enabled that show min fps, max fps and avg fps. Since the program will ricalculate the values again after 1 minute, for to do accurate tests you have to play for more then 1 minute for every game you try and report the values.

Hi.

I'm new to the forums. I have recently installed Aurora Play ROM with Lupus GB kernell. The xda developers therad says that this mod should have 290mb free ram. The ES task manager gives me under 100mb with ~15 applications running (they start automatically after using a phone for a couple of minutes). Is it normal or did i made some mistake while flashing rom/kernell? How can i fixt this?
[Xperia Play General] abdel12345:
Check under settings/apps/running services and see how much ram it says you have because I don't think es task manager gives an accurate amount

Youre right, in settings i get ~225mb - 230mb free RAM. Much better but still not 290mb as stated. Any way to improve?

I guess you are right. I've already install several custom roms (Atomic GB, Gin2Jellybean, DiXperia3, AuroraPlay, AuroraPlay LE). All the custom roms give me force closes while playing Real Racing 3. After reading your post, I switched back to stock rom and surprisingly, no more force close. Looks like I'm gonna stay with stock rom. I'm currently using Lupus GB v12 720p + stock rom.

The only thing I like about custom roms is that the quick panel in the status bar. Is there a way I can install them in the stock rom??
[Xperia Play General] Spizzy01:
Just replace the SystemUI.apk in /system/app

If you want to modify it's settings, you'll also need to replace the Settings.apk and the QuickPanelSettings.apk... The latter of course, won't exist - you'll need to grab them all from another ROM.

If you want, take the following apps from the AuroraPlay ROM and copy them to your device

Download ES File Explorer, load it up and use the 'Root Explorer' function to mount the SYSTEM partition as RW (Read/Write)

After that, you then have two ways to copy the files. The simple way is to use ES File Explorer to copy the files from your SD Card to /System/App (Not entirely recommended as the files will be in use).

The other way is to use ADB/the SDK Manager to copy the files.

Copy the files mentioned above from the ROM to the location of your ADB files/SDK intallation folder and use the following commands to copy them across. (This must be done whilst in Recovery with the SYSTEM partition mounted)

adb push Settings.apk system/app/Settings.apk
adb push SettingsPerformance.apk system/app/SettingsPerformance.apk
adb push SettingsQuickPanel.apk system/app/SettingsQuickPanel.apk
adb push SystemUI.apk system/app/SystemUI.apk

Sorry for this noob Q but I got my new galaxy s4 and I'm trying to keep it safe as much as possible

What is this? It wasn't on my phone when I bought it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

I do not think there is anything sinister here.

It looks like Android files for port information and credit plugin.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VePediki:
Sorry its just my first smartphone ever and i'm kinda worried

Also when I put some music on it i had to "convert" some files,

is it ok? will it somehow damage my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

If it does like the files,it will not play them.

It will not damage the phone.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinook:
Although, isn't it weird that it had to convert files? I've never come across that on android..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VePediki:
It was a ringtone from my Sony ericsson, when I transferred all my music to the SD card, all the Ericsson ringtones and some other "wav" files had to be converted

But it's cool right nothing bad would happen?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hinook:
Yeah, okay, it's cool then - I thought it was something weird, but then again - I never had to transfer .wav's :)

Just so you know, Android is pretty nimble - there are very, very few things that can actually damage your phone - I've been messing around with my Galaxy S4 the last three days nonstop, and I bricked it a couple of times, but as long as you have a stable connection to a computer via USB, it's all reversable. Physical damage to your device, other than overheating, is practically impossible (with exceptions being really old phones with crummy batteries), so don't worry about it. Android's awesome like that ^^
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstorm:
Actually they don't have to be converted at all. Don't believe in what windows says, it just doesn't know your device understands wav files. You can choose not to convert the files, they'll be usable anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VePediki:
Thanks guys, it also asks to convert some random pictures from google

BTDT. But, I can't ask there (new account), the beginning of the thread is outdated, the end is about other problems. I want to know, what are the exact problems. I don't wanna disturb the developer with PM, but can't ask in thread.

I have used a lot of ROM-s before, on my V, and on my Huawei pulse, I have experience with these things. I just don't wanna make 10 dummy post, just for the permission.

I have a primou, and as I see, the developer needs testers for this variant. But if I can't use it daily, I won't test, cause don't have any other phone.

That's why I need exact answers.

My Galaxy 1 was stolen from me in Feb, after that i went through a lent s3 and now proud owner of an s4 (i9500).

So i have two questions on this:

1) is there an equivalent for what a bios password is in a PC?

(have to go short something in hardware to bypass, only is asked upon powerup/hard reboot).

2) Is is technically possible for an app to lock on custom sim? (possibly modifying efs folder)

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrojo:
Thank you for patronizing me but that didnt answer my question, already been through pages of results when i previous galaxy was stolen (even tried locking from google play). None of the apps listed on a google search for locking and tracking do what i ask.

Centralized cloud based locking doesnt work (a blacklisted imei can get reinstated fairly easy), neither does the standard password Operating System level password.

Thats why i am asking for specific alternative ways of locking the phone that should be (if possible) more tampering resistant.

1) bios equivalent password.(requiering hardware shorting to bypass)

2) custom simlock

I use avast! free mobile security (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avast.android.mobilesecurity&hl=en),

the anti-theft module has option to block the phone if the sim card is changed
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremy_inc:
What a woeful answer. Try reading before you be a ****.

In answer, no there is nothing similar to a BIOS lock on Android phones, however like mist813 said, Avast is quite good. If you have root access you can install it as a system apk then even if the thief wipes your phone, it's still there.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demusss:
You could also try lookout its free. Can do tracking, remote wipe and also takes a photo of anyone trying to unlock your phone.

I don't think there is anything that can prevent someone from just flashing a new firmware and wiping the phone completely.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7moooodi:
I don't think there is an equivalent to BIOS lock in Android. I'm not sure if you tried Lookout or the native Samsung remote control under security settings. Both gives you the options to locate, lock, scream or wipe your data. I tried the locate and scream options and they work. Never tried lock or wipe, but they should also work! Now going to the fact of wether someone can bypass or overcome these security measures, then I personally think it's possible and whatever we do he can find a way to go around it depending on how smart and resourceful he is! If my phone is stolen, frankly speaking I won't waste my time trying to find it or just lock it. All what I'll care about is to wipe the data off, and hopefully these softwares will work if needed!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeJolly:
Okay lets not be a **** this time.

1) There's nothing equivalent to that bios thing

2) http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...-the-device-on-removal-of-sim-card-or-sd-card

There are also apps that just notify you if sim card is changed for example this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=instigate.simCardChangeNotifier&hl=fi

And of course there are some apps that let you remotely control your phone for example http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7567932
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinci5:
Abrojo,

You don't really need a third-party app for this.

Please check out the Samsung Dive service. (www.samsungdive.com)

You can track your phone, lock it with a custom password, sound an alarm, etc...

The problem is, the phone needs to have Internet access.

I am using the Cerberus app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lsdroid.cerberus&hl=en)

This is the best rated Anti-theft app you can find for your Android.

a license costs 3USD if I remember correctly. With one license you can secure up to five Android phones.

Featuers:

Track your phone

Remote lock

Remote wipe

And a lot more options...

A couple of things that I think are extremely useful:

When a wrong password or pattern is drawn to unlock your phone, a picture is taken with the front camera and emailed to you together with the location of the phone.

When the SIM is swapped, you can configure up to three phone numbers that will receive an SMS with the new SIM card number and the location of the phone.

You can hide the app from the App Drawer.

Check it out... very useful

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuddle13:
Apparently there is also rumors of LoJack already being built into these phones, with the possibility to activate it some time in the near future. Don't remember all the details, but I just read an article about that. Not being patronizing when I say it, but Google Galaxy S4 LoJack and look into it.

Also, I am on Verizon, and am testing out their mobile security app that is preinstalled. It's $1 a month, but they allow you to remotely lock your phone, wipe it, and track it should you lose it. I don't believe it embedded at the hardware level, but it is something that gives me a little piece of mind.

Edit: I went to switch to the Norton Mobile Security app, since I use it for all of my other devices, and discovered that the Verizon Mobile Security App - once activated - cannot be uninstalled, force stopped, you cannot clear the data, and you cannot disable it. In order to do so, I first have to go into my Verizon account online, sign in, and unsubscribe from the service. After realizing that, I have chosen to keep the Verizon security app, because it has that extra layer of security. Are there ways of bypassing that, I'm sure there are. But assuming that my phone is stolen by some low level thief and not some crazy high level criminal circuit, I should have no problem retrieving it.

I have a problem with my note and i really don't know what to do. I'm sorry if there is another post about this issue but i've not been able to find anything that matches.

Last night my phone refused to unlock even though i had just used it. I decided to reset the phone by holding down the power button. I tried to turn my phone on this morning but it would not boot up properly. The screen that says "Galaxy Note N7000" appears and will stay for a few seconds; it will either turn black and load the same screen again, or it will quickly show the little android person with the spinning orb in it's belly. It will continue this loop unless i take the battery out. Whilst like this, the back of the phone heats up quite a lot as well. I can enter odin mode by holding the volume down key but i cannot enter recovery mode by holding volume up.

Seriously, is there anything i can do to get my phone to reboot??

Thanks.

[LG Optimus G Pro] andygold:
I've owned an iPhone 3GS for almost four years now, and it's time to upgrade to something new. I've decided upon the OGP as my new device, but I have some questions about battery life. I've read a few reviews that said although not as good as that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the battery life is still great. Then again, I've also read a few reviews that have said that the battery life is horrid and that LG phones in general seem to use more battery than most while just sitting idle in standby mode. So, it seems to go both ways, depending on which review one reads.

My typical usage is about 90% browsing and reading webpages, and about 10% watching YouTube video, with a bit of music listening thrown in. With the iPhone I had to keep the screen set at about 50% to get me through a day of the above usage. Sometimes, an hour long recharge during lunch would give me battery life until the early evening. I hated having to keep the screen dimmed to 50%, but that's the way it is with that particular phone's power-hungry LCD. For video watching, I max the brightness so as to get as crisp of a picture as the phone is capable of.

I had looked at getting the Note 2, but I didn't care for the AMOLED's lack of whites and lack of brightness (and low resolution) in comparison to my dinosaur iPhone. If I did get that particular phone, I'd have to leave the brightness at max 24/7 although I don't know how that would affect batt life. Either way, the Note 2 screen did not appeal to my eyes, and the one on the OGP along with that of the HTC One were the best I've found in the larger phones.

So, my questions are, what do most people keep their brightness set to on their Optimus G Pro

for most of the time

, and how much screen time do you really get at that particular brightness level? And, does it seem that a few people have possibly gotten defective batteries? I realize that the G Pro's screen is an LCD with a white backlight on all the time the screen is lit, and probably won't be as efficient as an AMOLED, but with my type of usage (with the screen set to max) what kind of daily battery life can I expect from the OGP?
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
Well, I don't know if I can give you an estimate based on your exact usage, but let me share with you mine. I have my brightness set to 65% with auto brightness turned on. For me, that is a nice, comfortable viewing level that is easy on the eyes. I love the colors at 100% brightness, but it's almost too bright for me to look at for long times. Anyway, I only use my phone to send text messages and check web sites during the day, but then I play games in the evening (like super stickman golf). I can get through the day easily with 25% remaining when I plug in at bed time. I get about 4 -5 hours of screen on time out of that, so in total I could get about 5-6 hours if I were to drain the battery all the way.

So that doesn't exactly answer your question, but each person's usage is going to be slightly different. It also heavily depends on what you have for apps that are running in the background.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jeffhesser:
hmm

I'll say this much, screen is responsible for about 50% of your phones battery drain across the board so if 100% brightness is more important than another hour or two of usage time then go for it. This thing should get you a full day even at 100% charge and relatively heavy usage but get comfy with seeing 20 or 30% by early evening. The hardest thing to get used to is remembering that 20% can still mean 2-3 hours of usage and is not an emergency. Another plus of this phone is you can charge about 50% with one hour of charging (or 25% on 15 mins) so as long as you are using a good charger you can juice up in a hurry.
