[Samsung Captivate Glide] te36:
I just got one of these extended 3600mAh batteries for my i927, and now i wonder if there is any way to tell the phone/android when/if i am swapping batteries and therefore changing capacity of the battery.

So far, the only thing i found was a way in CWM to reset the battery stats. I now try to train the phone to the new 3600mAh battery, but if i ever should even just temporarily swap it against the older 1800mAh battery, then the stats will get totally screwed up again, right ?

So, any app to maybe store and recall the battery stats ? Then it would be possible to train the phone independendly for each battery, store the stats, and accordingly use the app to recall the battery stats after swapping it.

Thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
It's not the phone that gets trained, but an IC in the battery itself. Each battery has an embedded processor that tracks current charge levels using a semi-predictive algorithm. That's what the third conductor is for -- it's a one-wire serial connection between the phone and the IC inside the battery. So when you switch batteries, you're also switching the IC that's tracking the battery's charge.

The batterystats.bin on the phone is just statistics tracking for what is using power, how much, and how often. These are the stats you see in Settings -> Battery and have nothing to do with current charge levels, actual or displayed.

tl;dr: It doesn't work that way. Swap your batteries freely and don't worry about it.

Brightness taking the battery?

Is there an app or tweak that will let me turn down the "ambience" on my captivate? I mean, on my old iPod (I know, right :D) there was a Cydia app that allowed me to set a certain time for when the brightness would kind of "lower the hue" and made it look kinda like a old style fleurescent light. Kind of amber in color.

In my battery manager, the screen takes up MORE than 50% of my battery life, and I was wondering if there was a way to do that, instead of having to manually turn up the brightness when I need to. It's currently all the way down, and yet STILL ueses a bunch of battery.

Anyone?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] maddbomber83:
I use the Lux app from the app store and it does this. At a certain time it will transition to a warmer color that you set and it also has many settings for light dimming based on a number of factors. You can also set the output to sub zero.

Nope, have not seen that. What is the complete path of it? Are there any files?

it's the first folder in system of root

I've heard good things about the Sandisk 64 GB micro-SDXC card but does it work with the Goole Edition (stock android) version of the Galaxy S4?

If not, what is a better 64 GB card?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roan67:
I'am not sure to work exFAT on 4.3, this kernel is locked. Format your card to fat32 and choice 65536 .

Be carreful with m.sd-xc sandisk, this card is sensible to format. Use drive sdxc usb3 or install app for mass storage. Because the MTP can't format.

Hi all! :D

Is it possible to plug a USB hub into my tablet (a Mediacom one), in order to use at the same time hardwares like keyboard and mouse?. I hope to be in the right section, because I don't know if this possibility is available on all Android tablets or changes model by model...

Hey Guys, will LG release a offical Update for Android 4.2 or 4.3 or 4.4 KK ? Because 20a is slow and i hate custom roms. I love the offical Version !

Big "NO" to your question.

Must be enough :p

Lg service told me that the O4X would be upgraded to 4.2.2... But it is LG...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] GalaxyVolvoZ:
LG cries ecause they are not top seller of smartphones, and samsung are. they think : *we dont need to do a better update politics because nobody.will buy our phones :(* stupid

lg see ? samsung always update their phones. lg 4x hd and galaxy.s3 are released.at the same time..galaxy s3 100% will get android 5 klp and 4x hd takes month to get 4.1 .... omg lg you stupid ... update all your phones and take care of your older flagships ... if.you update more people will buy your products and arent scared of your support and update polictics anymore !!!!

see people love samsung and apple because their support is a dream *o* galaxy s2 was released 2011 and still have the latest firmwares ... lg 2x takes about 1 year to get 4.0 .....noob lg i only.boughz 4x hd because it was cheap. and i thougtlht lg realized their fault and will update ...

noob tegra 3 noob lg support

lg should be closed and cyanogenmod should become a electronic firm and samsung should make a Samsung Galaxy 4X HD ...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Skyfall6:
I currently own three android devices, LG optimus 4x HD, Samsung galaxy note 2 and sony xperia s. so i am browsing all three xda forums from time to time. how funny that every specific brand owners are dissatisfied with their own manufacturers by saying other brands update devices more frequently than theirs.. what they most said is: My next phone wont be "sony/LG/Samsung"!!!

The fact is: LG really update more than the rest i owned: 4 times firmware minor update + jelly bean update( i live in Netherlands). so at least LG is taking care of it. LG wont update our 4x hd forever, we will always want more and more anyway, so there is no ending...

I also want 4.2.2 or higher version without a doubt, but not desperately compare with other ppl.lets wait and see. And please stop spreading faulty information and misleading others. You should be responsible for what you said!! Lets hope we will get 4.2 or even higher, otherwise it is just a phone basically, be happy and enjoy what you have, its not so bad after all....
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Ab-so-f***ing-lute-ly :cool:

I have said many times before. We bought our phones with ICS software on it. Nowhere did LG say that we would get free upgrades, they are only responsible for fixing bugs. If you are 'forced' to stick with ICS then it is fine for them as the phone still does EVERYTHING you bought it to do. The problems with 'Stock' JB go to show that they created it through good-will, to give the developers something to play with and to keep us guys/gals on places like XDA happy - 95% of the people who buy the phones couldn't care less about getting an upgrade to JB as long as the phone actually makes calls, does texts etc

The arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. Can you imagine buying a PC And then demanding a free upgrade to Windows 8? Or buying a car and demanding a free upgrade to the newer engine type?

If you don't like the phone then change it. If you don't like the manufacter then don't buy from them again, but unless you buy a Nexus product you will always suffer from delays in releasing new versions - the manufacturers don't make money from doing that so they will focus on new products that they can make money from.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Skyfall6:
Exactly!!! Cant agree more.:good: I think those thread should be eliminated...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Life'sGood:
Please sticky this post
[LG Optimus 4X HD] lg~optimusprime:
I do not entirely lean towards your viewpoint nor do I think the car analogy is apt to this discussion

If all we wanted to use our phones for was make calls and send texts,I'd agree whole heartedly nor would we have to fork out insane amounts for most flagships

In that case,why not let us make do with cheap Chinese Android clones

This phone was one of 2012`s top end phones along with the S3 and HTC One X

Even at that LG was one of the last brand names to release a JB update

To think support for a flagship is/will be ending after an update or two is extortion IMHO seeing all they have to do is find a way to port it on older flagships

Or do the phone makers expect us to buy every shiny and new gadget every 6-12 months because official updates have stopped?

I personally do not expect updates for the mid and low end phones

But if one buys a top end flagship, such a person should get treatment setting them apart

@ the creator of this thread,its wishful thing to be lusting for KLP when 4.2.2 or 4.3 is yet to drop for 4X HD

I think 4.2.2 may drop officially for 4x hd and that will be it

Most of the top end brands are pushing 2 and 3 GB memory phones out for now and KLP devices will probably have such specs

Recall the 4x HD has just 1GB ram

You might have to look at the custom ROMs you despise for KLP

Sorry
[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Why should you get special treatment just because you buy the 'flagship' model? You pay extra for the extra specifications, not in order to get a service contract entitling you to free upgrades - no matter what product you are buying that is the case.

Of course manufacturers expect you to buy a new shiny phone every 12 months - that's why they keep releasing them. They are in the business of making money, which they don't get from all the work involved in upgrading an old phone to a new software version.

You need to remember that we are in the minority, 95%+ of the people who buy phones don't care about upgrades, they just want something that works, and works well. Producing an upgrade almost always results in a software thart is not as stable as the original because they are, naturally, putting less effort in to creating it. I always find it surprising when someone comes on to XDA and says they don't want to put a custom ROM on their device - OK, so there are a few bits on here that aren't specifically about custom ROMs, but not much.

It would be lovely if every manufacturer gave free upgrades, but they never say they will and it certainly shouldn't be expected. Nexus devices are different as Google writes the Android software and has a business interest in ensuring they provide free and timely upgrades to show off the latest and greatest code.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Skyfall6:
If you already knew that LG is always the last one to update their devices but why are you still buying it??? Personally I am also looking forwards to the updates, but I bought this phone because it has the good hardware, nice UI and relatively cheaper price when compare to S3 and HTC One X. You would be licking your finger to get a cheaper Chinese one, but you cant due to the availability cross western world. And dont insulting the chinese manufacture here because you know nothing about it...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] leroys:
"The arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. Can you imagine buying a PC And then demanding a free upgrade to Windows 8? Or buying a car and demanding a free upgrade to the newer engine type?"

I do not think arguments and *****ing on here against manufacturers is incredible. your statement about demanding a free upgrade to windows 8 is just wrong, windows operating systems are supported, updated with security fixes, refinements and enhancements for many years, as android users we seem to be forgotten about within the space of a few months, I do not expect to receive KLP or any other new system after that but we are still on Jelly Bean so we should expect to the have the refinements, fixes, security updates that are currently available, yes you are correct in saying this was an ICS phone but if LG make the statement that an upgrade to Jelly Bean would happen then we should expect supoort for it and this is the reason I purchased the phone. BTW Jelly Bean was not goodwill by LG, it was to sell more phones, if you really believe these companies are that nice to their customers you are being a little naive.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] lg~optimusprime:
I bought for the same reasons you bought yours

Relative cheap compared to the One X and S3,very good hardware too

Anyone with an above average computer knowledge knows software is still playing catch to hardware which has always evolved faster

Only now to see the greed of capitalism starring at us all with their stoppage of updates after 1 or 2 update releases

Too bad

Some Chinese names like Pipo and Onda for tablets stand out

Also names like Jiayu and Zopo are one to look out for in high end Phones

That some Chinese brand gadgets don't cut it don't mean ALL Chinese brands

Personally, I'm using a Pipo Max M9 quad core tablet and why the software could have been better written to amplify its hardware,I could not ask for a better made premium look and feel tablets without breaking my piggy bank

Below are the Antutu scores which I ran myself

(Update: could not up load the image. Don't know why but the Antutu scores was 16104 thrashing S3,Nexus 7 and 10 and been at par with the Note 2' That should increase if overclocked)

I don't think its too much if other manufacturers could follow Google's lead

After all, the Nexus products are in the top end of the tablet and smartphone food chain

Its not to much to ask for 3-4 updates for the flagship/top end gadgets

Recall asking for more led Oliver Twist out of his life of deprivation to a more structured one

Not every market follows the Western nations model of phone contracts rather you have an outright purchase

But knowing an economy like America of which 70% is based on consumer spending is the model run by many Western states,I expect them to continue their shiny and best,latest and new policy

Hopefully the top end Chinese gadgets makers can throw in the cat amongst the pigeons

But till then,its gonna be the same ol same ol
[LG Optimus 4X HD] disadjusted:
my view from outside

i've owned an HTC, an Huawei and now a Motorola... while atm considering to buy the p880.

It seems to me that LG is kind of more reasonable in all terms of product-strategy than maybe HTC, Samsung, or Motorola. They have a wide range of phones, but those are at the same time not like "me too" models like Samsung's, who has phones for absolutely everey demand.

And they still sell phones like the L3.

That makes me hope the p880 has a kind of long planned product cycle too and they'll release 4.3 for the p880, because it has BT4.0 hardware, which will only be supported by Android 4.3 and up. and it's still jelly bean. so perhaps it makes sense to skip 4.2 and get 4.3 instead, which also seem to get far better multi core support...

but nonetheless it's nice to have 4.1 sources released, so it's possible to finetune.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Irish GrumPy:
Any rumors circulating yet anywhere about an upgrade from 4.1.2? The battery life is really bad.

I've done everything I can to maximize it. (Install root, juice defender, un-install certain system apps, turn off location reporting in GMaps, keep screen brightness at 50%, etc...)

Hoping an official LG update will help out some time in the near future. I'd like to see 4.2 or 4.3 in Q4 this year. :) But I have no idea if that will happen or not. Phone is awesome, just really let down by battery life on JB.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tozoide:
Hey guys, really, even though we try to justify it and show good performance of the battery of our new machine, the truth is that the S4 is very disappointing. The advertised battery with a very good performance and duration of up to two days, but the truth is that in reality do the same things I did with my S2 and S3, the duration is shorter. Roms developers have struggled to reduce consumption, but remain excessive and reheated, not because of them but this time Samsung blew it with the battery, as it did at the time with the first version of the Galaxy S. was a great revolutionary cell, but the battery was not the same level.

What to do about this? complain all, writing in the forums, on the website of Samsung, on Twitter and on all networks require Samsung to correct and improve performance or improve and launch a new battery. Or will we wait for the release and change of cell and paid so much for him to only have four hours of screen use? I leave it to your consideration.

forgive the long and the English with a translator, but it's crazy not to use it how and when I want x fear of running out of battery.:eek:
