[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Volleymansam:
I'm running cleanrom 4.9 on my n7105 note, it's unreal! Best battery life every but it's the first rom I've flashed and I want to know if I can use the Perseus kernel with this rom safely? I just want to have the option of running my memory card as my internal memory.

Thanks,

Sam.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone:
Hi,

If it's a TouchWiz based ROM, Perseus kernel will work.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aukhan:
Yes without any hiccups will run
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arben Zeka:
You should have no problems using it. I tried it with a couple difference ROM's and had no problems with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yearofme:
I just reflashed the same ROM/kernel that I've been using for months (HFP2.4.2 and Trinity), but now I'm not getting any notifications from the Facebook Messenger app even though I'm getting notifications from every other app I use (e.g. Hangouts and Gmail).

It could be that it stemmed from the fact that I backed it up with its data using MyBackup Root, but since I've restored it, I've tried wiping its data, uninstalling/reinstalling (which includes the latest update to the app), wiping its data using Titanium, logging in and out, checking notification settings for the app, wiping Cache/Dalvik in CWM etc.

I'm not sure if there's something else I could do, or if there's an order to the way I should wipe the data (if that will in fact fix anything).

Thank you for any advice that you can offer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Search for an older version (apk) and install that. Worth a shot.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pain-N-Panic:
Are you sure that you just don't have notifications disabled for fb messenger?

-custom sig.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yearofme:
Thanks for the replies so far. I tried to roll back to two versions before the current one, but I am still not getting anything unless I'm in the chat with the person who's messaging in the app itself.

I tried turning on and off the notifications inside the app (like Chat Heads and the master notification setting), and at most I occasionally get chat head to pop up, but only temporarily and without any vibration.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yearofme:
Turns out this issue also extends to other apps like WordFeud and other games, and I've since tried other ROMS and Kernels, but still nothing.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
So I've had my Verizon S4 rooted since I got it a few weeks ago and today I decided to put a custom ROM on it.

I installed TWRP Recovery via GooManager

I installed Hyperdrive RLS2 Android 4.2.2 ROM. I booted to it, it ran fine. I rebooted my phone and now it will not turn back on. I get stuck at the Galaxy S4 screen with the unlocked padlock icon. Sometimes I can boot into TWRP recovery but then it just hangs on the "Teamwin" blue screen. How do I get out of this?

Any help is greatly appreciated

-Ben

Edit: After numerous battery pulls and restarts I finally got back into recovery, flashed OUDHS recovery, wiped data, cache, reinstalling Hyperdrive RLS2 Android 4.2.2 ROM via OUDHS
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
Now I installed the ROM via OUDHS and I have the same problem. I am still stuck at the black samsung unlocked bootloader screen

You may want to do a stock restore and then resetup your roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
Okay, thank you, I am downloading now...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
Now when I try to upload the stock restore .md5 into Odin 3.07, It says that it is invalid (in ODIN)

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Did you put it in the PDA field? IT should be working. Worked fine on other peoples phones. Also did you extract the file? It's compressed. Use winrar to extract it. www.rarlabs.com.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
I did extract, it is a 2.55GB .tar.md5 file. I'm not sure why it won't work, I am familiar with ODIN as I have previously used it to root the phone. I am trying to download the one click executable restore now and try my luck with that...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
That will have the same file and Odin 3.07 that's all. It will self extract too. It's nothing special. You using Odin 3.07?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
yeah, 3.07
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Not sure then. Try to redownload the file. It worked on a lot of peoples phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ibdow7:
Finally got it, I had to do it through the .exe

Im not sure why. And at this point it really doesn't matter. I just hope that after this I will be able to have my phone up and running for tomorrow.

Thanks again for all of your help, I really appreciate it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Sure NP. I'm going to add the .exe to my server as well. In case this happens again.

All

my xdaII is suffering lethargic performance after upgrading the ROM to latest version from o2! I reloaded all of my applications and now the device is really slow to switch between apps. I have attached acouple of screen shots detailing the device/memory status. Additionally my active synch will not now synchronise files and contacts data, it just keeps on rolling around saying 0 of ?? files synched. I accept it is probably something I've done but I dont know what...

If anybody has any ideas on how to cure this I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Pete
[General Topics] markh:
I suspect the performance problem on the XDA II is because it's reaching the process limit - 32. PPC Phone Edition uses more processes than the standard version. There's only a handful of processes available after all the standard stuff is loaded. Basically you should load as little at startup which means editing the contents of the Windows\StartUp directory. Make a backup of this directory before you start deleting things. Below is the standard shortcuts I have left in the directory:

ChgDfLnk

FSK Loader

IA_Caller_ID

This also means you should use as little utilities that run in the background as possible. I don't know if today plug-ins use up an extra process. I have heard that it is possible to write a program to run as a service but most developers don't bother - I don't know enough about PPC development to know whether this is true.

Also Activesync uses 3 processes, maybe it can't get enough free processes to run properly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j814wong:
I have a Sandisk 64Gb MicroSDHC card. I've been using it for sometime on Android and. I've used Android to format it but never to partition it. I've also used Android to wipe data on the card. I've formatted it varous times again on Ubuntu.

The card was working fine but today, I decided to format and clear all the data on it. Much to my dismay, after when plugging in the card and formatting it, Windows read it to have only 27.8 GB space even though it was empty. Ubuntu also showed 27.48 GB only.

I've not much problems with the card on Android and Ubuntu but today, this serious problem occured. Just how does a 64GB card reduce to 27.48GB? I've formatted the card to FAT32 and EXT4 multiple times to no avail with GParted.

Previously, some time ago, I've formatted the card to FAT32 and because the computer, I forgot if it was Windows or Ubuntu and because the computer read it as having 30GB space, named the card 32GB Volume or something like that (The name has long since changed to one of my choosing). However, Ubuntu still read the card as having 64GB of space and filling it up with more than 30GB worked just fine.

What happened? How do I resolve this? I need the card to work on both Ubuntu and Android.

This is my card. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005V7WIA2 Based on reviews alone, it seems to be very good quality. I've used the card on Ubuntu, and Motorola Defy (Android), and the Motorola Xoom (Also Android). Both Android and Ubuntu have worked with the card just fine except for one thing Occasionally, when copying files to or from the card, I get an error message. Sorry but I don't recall what the message said.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
I have an AT&T HTC One arriving shortly as a new customer on AT&T. I understand I have 14 days to try it out, so I want to make sure I put it to a full test. This will be my first HTC device since the Windows Mobile days, so I have a few questions to ask before starting to use my phone. I am not entirely for sure, but I will probably end up rooting and using custom roms, but probably not until the 14 days are over. With that in mind, here are my questions:

1) Should I unlock the bootloader right away? I understand that doing so erases everything on my phone, but it should not cause any problems if I decide to return the phone, right?

2) If I decide to root after the 14 days are up, I do not have to wipe the phone again, do I?

3) If I decide to use a custom rom, do I understand correctly that I will indeed have to wipe the phone again (but not the /sd card contents???) Meaning, my pictures/videos and all that will remain, but I will have to wipe the system?

4) My area does not yet have LTE (coming later this summer), so is there a way for me to turn it off to save on battery, or do I even need to attempt this?

5) I've been using an iPhone 5 since launch and it is still scratch-free without using a case. I'd prefer not to use a case with the One as well, and I only have my phone in my pocket. Is it reasonable to expect that my One will hold up as well as the iPhone 5 in this area?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions,

Travis
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] drakeymcmb:
1.yes,but it will show tampered in the bootloader but att employees don't usually check so as long as you flash the ruu before you return you should be fine

2.yes, you do because unlocking the bootloader causes the phone to wipe

3.yes, it is recommended to wipe only system and data but not your sdcard

4.if you don't have it in your area then you don't even need to mess with it

5.yes, because I've been using my phone for a while now with no case and everything looks fine but sometimes I do put my case on when I'm clummsy.

6. Click thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Regarding #2, are you saying that if I am already bootloader unlocked and then decide to root at a later time, I *will* have to completely wipe the phone again? Or is it just the initial bootloader unlock that requires the full wipe?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
i seriously doubt you will be returning this phone before the 14 days. especially if your coming from the iphone 5. this is the only phone that rivals the build quality of iphones. i have had mine since the release for tmobile and not one scratch on it. my girl has the iphone 5 and imo it cant touch this phone.

if apple and android had a baby it would be the htc one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] drakeymcmb:
No just the initial bootloader unlock unless you decide to change Roms
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Well that's exactly what I'm looking for. :o

I go back and forth between iOS and Android on a yearly basis, it seems. I've had the iPhone 5 since launch on Verizon, and I just returned the Samsung GS4 because it was very laggy and was locking up at least once per day. I'm going to try the HTC One on AT&T (even though the One has just been confirmed for Verizon later this summer) because I am tired of Verizon's policies. I'm tired of them taking longer than anyone else to get phones. I'm tired of their "customizations" like the persistent WIFI notification on the GS4 that no other carrier has. I'm tired of their locked bootloaders and locked down CDMA network. I'm sure AT&T will have its share of frustrations, but LTE is coming in my area this summer and I'm looking to try something different. I'm keeping my Verizon line for now since I have unlimited data on it, but I'm thinking the 5GB plan on AT&T will be more than enough (and I get a 25% discount through my employer).

Thanks for the help, guys.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
this phone doesnt lag. probably the closes thing to the smoothness of ios. and yea dont get that cdma garbage from verizon at&t,tmo or developer version is the way to go as far as custom rom options at least for now. if you want more in depth info check out mike1986. review of the phone. he has only done the first part of the review but he is a developer over on the international thread for this phone.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Thanks for the reassurance. The lag on the GS4 was unbearable and even worse than I expected given my previous experience with the GS3 a year ago. Even after turning off every S-feature I could find, enabling the developer options and changing the animations, and disabling as much bloatware as I could, the phone still lagged when scrolling and just felt unresponsive at times.

If I really like it, I don't know how long I'll hold onto my Unlimited Data plan on Verizon. On AT&T, I understand that unlimited data users are throttled after 5GB anyway, right? I think 5GB will be plenty, as I normally hover in the 3-4GB range on Verizon each month (and that's with a good deal of music streaming and Youtube watching). I guess if I go over once in a while, I can afford the $10 for an extra gig now and then.

My only concerns right now are battery life and the buttons. I've seen mixed reports on battery life - some saying it is abysmal, others saying it's actually very good. I'm keeping my expectations tempered as I've just been using two of the better phones in this area (iPhone 5 and GS4). I'm not expecting battery life to be as good as those, but if it can last my through my 8 hours of work (no WIFI there), then I'll be okay.

The buttons, I'm sure I'll get used to. But I'm definitely looking forward to the 4.2.2 update that allows for the long press of Home for Menu, right? Will this also give you the option to get rid of the Menu bar that appears below non-standard apps that don't conform to Google's specs?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
For those who are still engaged with the conversation, I have a few more specific questions about customizing if you don't mind... Since this is my first HTC Android device, there are some terms and methods I am not familiar with. I've used the Galaxy Nexus and the GS3 in the past and was able to understand enough to unlock the bootloaders and install custom roms on those devices. However, when reading about the HTC One, there are some things I do not yet understand:

1) I understand that the AT&T, T-Mobile, and International versions are basically identical hardware-wise, right?

2) What is CID, Hboot, and RUU? I don't remember having to deal with any of those terms with the Nexus and GS3. All I understand about the HTC One so far is that I need to unlock the bootloader at HTC's website. I'm sure I can also follow the instructions to root the device. Installing recoveries and custom roms is where things start to get a little foggy for me with this device.

3) I'm probably going to want to stick with a stock rom of some type because I am actually looking forward to some of the HTC features (especially with the camera). If the "Android Experience" rom still has some of the custom software for the camera, etc, then I might be interested in that. Otherwise, I just want to be rooted at 4.2.2 with a debloated device running as smoothly and as stable as possible.

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
1- yes pretty much the same

2- cid is your phone id which tells you what ruu you need. ruu is the stock rom your phone came with. hboot you really dont need to worry about until we get s-off

3- all the custom sense roms include all the htc features so no worries there

---------- Post added at 10:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

and btw with the battery life when i first got my htc one battery life was average at best but after a few battery cycles it improved.

first week probably averaged about 10-12 hrs with 6hrs on data with the rest wifi

second week 15-20 hrs with 6 hrs data

after that it pretty much leveled out and i average around 30 hrs 6 hrs on data and anywhere from 4-7 hrs screen time and all data is lte i dont turn data to 4g or 3g to save battery. so the first 7-10 days you might be cutting it close to get through the day on a single charge. a lot depends on signal strength though. i think most of those bad battery threads were from people who just got the phone and battery wasnt good at first. might also be because of stock rom. i flashed a custom sense rom the first day i got the phone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Ok, I got my HTC One today and so far I am loving it! However, I am disappointed to see that there is a persistent notification for "Power Saver". Argh, on the GS4 there was a persistent notification for WIFI (on Verizon), and now this one. What is it with these guys and their non-removable persistent notifications? I guess they think people are that stupid (and maybe most are on), but there should at least be an option to turn it off.

So from what I'm reading, the only thing I can do is to force close it each time, or to root my device and install a mod? Really?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
yea pretty much but not really an issue for me because i never intended to stay stock

oh and btw s-off has just been released in the international forum so you might want to keep an eye over there. with that you will be able to go back to complete stock without any trace of unlocking and rooting

hows the smoothness for you? i know your an iphone guy and i would like to hear your feedback
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Yeah, I'm not too worried about the notification either because I will eventually root and rom... not for a while though.

I am in love with the design of the phone, to be an honest. I feel it tops my iPhone in almost every way in terms of hardware. The iPhone is still more smooth, but I think it's more a matter of Apple prioritizing the touch response and animations over everything else. The One is definitely more smooth than the GS4, though, and I noticed that right away. The Facebook app still stutters, but I think that's just Facebook's fault... it stutters if you scroll before everything has loaded.

I've set up Nova launcher with a shortcut to Blinkfeed (which I actually like). Disappointed that I can't use the HTC widgets in Nova, but I'm finding replacements. Charging the battery now (which I read takes longer than average), and tonight at work will be my first "real" test with the phone.

Thanks for replying.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
you can make another screen your home screen with sense launcher so you dont have blinkfeed in your face everytime you unlock the phone. and just so you know i just tried the s-off and it works on my tmo htc one. i successfully got s-off tampered removed and supercid. its confirmed working for at&t also
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Yes, I figured out the Blinkfeed thing. Right now I am using Nova Launcher with a shortcut to Blinkfeed when I want to use it. The only thing bad about using Nova is that a bunch of the HTC widgets are not there anymore to use. Power toggles, Clocks/Weather, FM Radio widget, etc are all missing when using Nova Launcher. I understand that HTC widgets are only visible when using the Sense launcher? That's a bummer...

So explain again what the advantage of s-off is? Just so you can go back to completely stock if something goes wrong?

I think I will wait for this upcoming 4.2.2 OTA before deciding whether to unlock my bootloader and/or root. I'll take the time right now just to learn the phone and start reading all of the forums.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] skinsfanbdh:
with s-off and supercid you can install the ruu/ota from any htc one variant except sprint/verizon. but you could use the international ota which is 4.2.2
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Travisimo:
Ah, I see. With the AT&T OTA update rumored to be coming out in the next week or two, I think I'll just wait right now before jumping in.

Ironically, LTE just lit up in my area (Quad Cities, Davenport IA area) last night, so I was able to try that out as well!

So my first night at work with the new phone was very successful. Here are some things I noticed when comparing the One to my normal usage on the iPhone 5 with Verizon:

- LTE speeds on AT&T were comparable to Verizon at my workplace. However, AT&T had better penetration because my iPhone (and past LTE Android phones) would drop down to 3G deep inside the building, whereas AT&T stayed on LTE the whole time. In fact, I think the One has only dropped down to 4G (HSPA+) one or two times since I got it, whereas the Verizon phones constantly change between 3G and LTE.

- Battery life on the One was surprisingly good! My normal 8-hour shift consists mostly of playing Doggcatcher podcasts at 1.5 speed through Bluetooth headphones. I also use the phone on my breaks, along with a bit of Hotspot tethering for my iPad. With my iPhone 5, I'm normally at 40-50% battery life when I leave work, and the One was right about there as well. I would say that the One is very efficient when the screen is off, but a bit of a sucker when using the screen. That's to be expected, especially with that nice bright screen. Overall, I am very pleased and quite relieved to discover that I'll make it through a day of work no problem.

- The speakers are amazing! This is the first phone I can actually listen to music on without cringing. Having the speakers in the front of the phone is huge advantage as well. The iPhone 5 is no slouch in the audio department, but the One is noticeably better.

- I like the screen better on the One compared to the Galaxy S4. The latter has better blacks and contrast, but lacks color accuracy and is practically unviewable outdoors. I am definitely getting spoiled by these high DPI displays! The extra screen real estate on the One compared to the iPhone is liberating. Apple needs to release a larger screen iPhone now - not next year - because nobody who uses the larger 1080p screen is ever going to go back to the puny 4" screen again.

More thoughts later...

Signal an 4.2.2

As you start reading up on the forums you may find the posts about how AT&T "fluffs" the signal. I am running the international trick droid ver 7.0.0 and it does have the same speed just the signal bar is not tweaked for simulated better signal.

I can not get into recovery but have no problem getting into download mode.

Can someone please help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Have you been able to get in to recovery before?

Pull out the battery, put it back in and then press power while holding the volume up key. Let go of power button like 2 or 3 seconds after the logo pops up. You might have to try it a few times to get it right.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
What recovery are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] timboger:
The best I can do is get the menu to pop up, but when I try to use it the screen goes blank. Press the power button again and the menu comes back.

Is there any way to wipe data with odin?
