[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sladehawke:
I have been having a problem that has been plaguing me through 2 roms and 5 or 6 wipes now. I am on the latest firmware, profile, and prl. It gets quite hot, and can drain a battery (with the screen off!) in four to five hours.

I think the screenshots speak for themselves, but I am having trouble narrowing down the real reason.

I'm running superjelly m4. The only apps I use a lot are chrome and Facebook with notifications off). (Though I had Facebook completely uninstalled for a month, and this still happened during that time).

Any ideas on which part of Google services might be keeping this thing awake?

Thanks...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
Using widgets or location based services? Like weather. Either way get titanium backup pro and make Google play store and services a user app. The get the app Greenify and add them to its list. Hope it helps
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
If you are using Google now that should be the "offender", if not get better battery stats app and find what's keeping awake your phone... Good luck!

I've also noticed that Google hangouts is pretty rough on the old battery life. I always made sure I was signed out of Google talk because I rarely used it. Hangouts seems to drain battery even if you aren't signed in, so I ended up removing it, and battery life has been much better since.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdawg0024:
Although I am not having Battery Drain from Google Services. ( I usually can go 14-16 hours) I have noticed that Google Services is up to about 50% of battery usage. I am using Google Now, but on a Friends phone with all the same settings selected his is only about 20%.

My phone is a refurbished one. When I heard that *#0*# can bring up the secret LCDTest menu, I decideed to give it a try just to make sure my phone is OK. But somehow my menu misses the last button, sensorhub test. I searched but couldn't find the reason. Does this mean something are wrong with my phone?

hi everyone!! i am a noob at this forum. just got an evo 3d and thought it give it a shot at flashing a rom. i had the 1.53 hboot and unlocked the bootloader using htc method. i flashed cwm onto the device and thought to flash some jb roms without success (stuck in splash screen). later, i had found out that with s-on, i could only flash ics and sense base roms so i downloaded the mwakious3Drom. it booted up fine, however, i could not connect to wifi nor the network. i did some research and use fastboot getvar all command to find out my baseband so that i can find a RUU for my phone. to my surprise, my baseband was listed as N/A. any idea as to how to resolve this? i still have my IMEI, just not my baseband!! i used the fastboot getvar version-main and got 3.28.708.2.

Has anyone seen or heard of a wet application Screen protector that covers the entirety of the front screen, but also has the matte/anti-glare finish on it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] abdi7451:
You're gonna have a hard time finding that. I'd say go the dry application route, and pair the screen protector with a case. It'll do a good job of covering the edges.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sropedia:
Thanks, that's sort of what I expected to hear. I wonder what's preventing them from being made. I know I sure would love a matte feel all the way to the edge of that curved glass
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thephantom:
the only matte wet protector i saw was one that offers a matte back but the front is still clear

The same thing as why we only have 2 types of bumpers available: OEM or Poetic.

Fosmon is crap

I too had been looking for a matte protector, and got one; had one on my iphone 4, but they have been really bad with the proximity sensor. I had to cut out a piece, and it looks like crap. I got the Fosmon one from amazon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ihakim:
I'm pretty sure bestskinsever offers one
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SovereigN7:
Your best bet is to stick with dry app screen protectors. The top ones I can come up with are SGP or Martin Fields. They aren't cheap at all, but I've been through cheap ebay ones enough and got tired of the texture and the clarity issue.

SGP won't cover the entire screen. It will leave some corners vulnerable but I have a diztronic case with sort of "lips" over the edges to cover most if not all the exposed areas. I think Martin Field's may cover more than the SGP, but not completely.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kbeezie:
The older "Military Grade" of Invisible shield would be closer to sort of a matte finish. They still sell it on the website ( zagg.com ) at cheaper than their newer HD version which is their glass-like version of the screen at the same thinness. The older version also has sort of a rubberish feel to the surface, but it doesn't have that glossy/glass glare like the newer HD version.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psjw12:
I have my tablet still on ICS, locked, all stock ROM, except I used a root exploit for ICS to have root.

What I would like to know; what is the best method for me to be able to happily try out different ROM's without fluffing up and bricking my tablet?

I know I need to unlock, install customer recovery. Is NVFlash backup necessary?

I've also got a HTC Desire HD which I've flashed with many ROM's without ever running into issues.

The Asus TF300 seems different and I've seen too many posts where people have bricked their devices.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psjw12:
Is it true that flashing a ROM designed for one version of the bootloader, on a device with a different version will brick your device?

Also it is true that certain wipes from recovery brick your device?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
Yes flashing a rom on a 4.2 bootloader that was made to work on a 4.1 bootloader will most likley cause a bootloop or a softbrick but should be able to be recovered in most cases.

The main cause of bricked devices atm is flashing the incorrect recovery for your bootloader version. This is flashing a non-4.2 recovery on a 4.2 bootloader, causes a fastboot flash brick - more info on this in my how-to in sig below.

I'm not sure about bricking your devices using wipes in recovery but the wipe data option in the bootloader menu will in most cases brick the device.

Not sure what the best method is but I pefer using the fastboot method over the twrp method but it's up to you, however the fastboot method does seem to work even with a locked device (but try at own risk).

It's up to if you want to do the NVFlash backup, it is suposed to be a fail safe in case of brick, although this does seem to depend on how the device was bricked. ie does not seem to work with the fastboot flash brick.

If you need more info or would like a step-by-step on how to unlock and upgrade for your situation just let me know.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psjw12:
How is a fastboot flash brick caused?

Thank you. I understand what to do but I don't feel confident. I've been happy flashing my HTC Desire HD for a long time and never had issues but I've seen so many bad stories on these forums it's really making me uncomfortable. I really want to go ahead and flash my device as it's slow and keeps crashing, and I want to be able to flash different ROM's without breaking a sweat. But I'd rather have a slow crashing device than a bricked one.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Sources? I've never seen anyone with NVFlash even say they experienced any bricks. I don't see why it wouldn't be recoverable. As far as I've seen, everyone who succumbed to the "4.1 recovery on 4.2 bootloader" brick had no NVFlash backups. Unless you're talking about a different brick, in which case you lost me. NVFlash should work just fine with any brick. Unless you brick it while restoring your NVFlash backups, in which case, you're boned.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc21:
No sources, I was just going off a few comments in this thread but they don't state weather they did actually have nvflash backup or not, just that there was no fixing with nvflash.

I agree with you that as long as you can boot to apx and have nvflash backup and don't brick during nvflash restore then you should be able to unbrick from any brick.

Sorry for any confusion here.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Where? I went through the thread backwards from the last page back to page 7 or 8. Only one person even mentioned NVFlash, and he was asking if he could use NVFlash backups from a different tablet because he didn't have any of his own (that's not possible because of the way the bootloaders are signed). I also didn't see anyone actually tell him it wasn't possible. He was the third to last post in the thread.

So nobody in that thread (after page 7, anyway) said anything about NVFlash let alone that it doesn't work. NVFlash should work just fine to fix the fastboot bricks, just like any other brick.

Edit: So one other guy in a random post just kind of said NVFlash wouldn't work, nothing else - no details at all. A couple people asked him for details and proof, but he never replied. I have a feeling he meant NVFlash couldn't help because he didn't have any backups. If you have the NVFlash backups, you can recover from pretty much any brick.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psjw12:
Thank you guys for your help.

So does the following plan sound safe to you?

1. Backup my device (apps, data and sdcard)

2. Unlock with Asus unlock tool (v7 right?)

3. Do NVFlash Backup

4. Do official ASUS upgrade to JB 4.1 (I would do this by extracting the download from their site onto my SD card right? Because once unlocked I won't get offered any updates)

5. Once on JB, flash the correct 4.1 TWRP onto my recovery via Fastboot

6. Get Flash happy with my 4.1 compatible ROM's, do a few data wipes in between.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:

What about on an Unlocked device

Back in March when Jelly Bean 4.2 came out I went from a rooted and unlocked machine to the newest stock os (10.6.1.8) I am looking to upgrade to the official 10.6.1.15.3 that is available on the ASUS site. Is it as simple as downloading the ASUS updateLauncher and putting it on my sd card and running it from the tablet? Or am I at risk being on an unlocked device, do I need to add any other steps?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psjw12:
From what I know you should be able to upgrade from stock version to a newer stock version without any issues. The only thing I'm not sure about is if that method will wipe all your data. I'd advise a backup first.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedoe:
Well now I am stuck, here is what I tried without success.

Backed up my data

Downloaded the newest file from ASUS - 10.6.1.15

Placed file on my internal SD

Renamed it to US_epad-user-10.6.1.15.3.zip

System Update is detected so I tried to run it from the OS - but it fails, gives me a Unknown Error (2) and restores itself to previous. I tried it twice with no luck.

Any idea how I can get this file to update.

Thanks,
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
Did you remove any apps or system files? If your ROM isn't 100% exactly stock before the update, the update will fail.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teedoe:
It was a simple mistake, I just needed to extract the zip file I downloaded from ASUS one time and then transfer it to my SD card. Worked perfectly after that and I did not lose any data or apps.

Thanks to all on the forums for your advice and help!

Hi everyone,

if I'm posting here is because I have a big problem:

Here, I used my galaxy ace (I had the low memory icon) when playstore has updated an application, then suddenly all my applications are set to "force stop" including Holo launcher,

so I rebooted, but the I had teh cyanogenmod 7 icon repeat (bootloops)

I cann't access to the recovery mode (I had RAMDUMP mode (ARM9 mode))

I can access to the "downloading" mode so I wanted to flash a stock rom (even three in fact)

with odin multidownload 4.38 but nothing happens when Odin has restarted my phone, I had the little android image that works then a message like:

"E: \ failed to mount storage (invalid argument)"

and the phone started to reboot loop

I've tried dozens of manipulations unsuccessfully kies does not see my phone

I do not know what to do, thank you in advance

Dkpiit

PS: I've tried all the manipulations removing the battery / SIM card and sd waited 5 minutes, I was able to put the phone in Emergency Mode DLOAD but it nothing happens

the only real thing that still works is the "Downloading "mode , but I think my recovery mode was crushed and I cann't access it even when I can flash with odin I always have the problem of "E: \ failed to mount storage" (the same style as him http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1335487

Can I use another 4G LTE provider on the Galaxy Note II from Sprint?

I have Boost Mobile and I had a Galaxy S2 with Clear.com 4G WiMax. I now can only get 3G, and as you ALL know the 3G speed has lowered quite a bit. (200~400k vs 700~900k 3 years ago)

Another alternative I guess would be to get a Hotspot, but who wants to carry around a phone AND a hotspot when you can have them both on the phone?

I believe you can use this device on any network that is actually using Sprint towers, like MetroPCS (?) or Boost?

There are threads somewhere for instructions on flashing this.

Impossible to do first off you need to understand how technology and radios work Tmobile is GSM. Sprint and verizon are CDMA and you can only "roam" on 3g verizon with a prl that can get you kicked off, if you abuse it.
