[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
So I just got a 32gb s4 in the mail a couple of days ago. It auto updated when I was sleeping so no root. Here goes:

1) Is there a way to only vibrate when the phone is in silent mode? It seems like the option was removed from every app (coming from gingerbread).

2) The wifi on this phone seems awfully weak. Where my Droid Charge got 1-2 bars of solid signal, my s4 drops the connection all the time and has very slow connection speeds. Closer to an AP it is fine, though.

3) The battery on this phone is much better than my Droid Charge, but it is still draining quickly in standby. After looking at betterbatterystats, it looks like NlpCollecterWakelock and AudioOut_2 are two huge partial wakelocks keeping the phone on. What would be the best way to get rid of them? I read something about disabling location for NlpCollecterWakelock, but I don't know the exact setting.

4) I am cannot for the life of me take a screenshot. I turned on that palm gesture thing and it doesn't work when I swipe it across the screen from left to right. Is there another way to take a screenshot without a third party app?

5) Wifi direct doesn't seem to be working. When I try to S beam a picture to my brother's s4 they fail to connect. Screen mirroring does not work with my 2013 Sony TV. It is detected, but fails when I try to use it. Nfc, group play, and mobile hotspot work fine.

Might post some more questions as I think of them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Q2 - it might be your routers transmit strength. I dont have a powerful router by any means but I have full 3 or 4 bars anywhere in my house, even in my master upstairs. You dont happen to have a replacement metal back on it do you?

Q4 - Instead of the palm swipe you can also press and hold menu and the power button. Alot of the time the Palm swipe doesnt work for me either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] persom55:
Actually screenshot is power and home
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] JihadSquad:
OK figured out the screenshot. Apparently I have to swipe my palm across the screen instead of waving it over. Still looking for a fix to NlpCollecterWakelock, though.

Also, is there a list of apps that can safely be disabled?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Pixelation:
The battery is awesome...right!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
Dont know why I put menu. Thx for the correction.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrussom:
I used the OTA update from 4.2.2 stock+unlock+root to get to 4.3. Everything goes well until adb update states that libril.so is not the right checksum and tells me no-go.

assert apply_patch_check fails on libril.so.

With that the process gives up.

Is there an easy way to manually put libril.so back? I've never changed the RIL, so im not sure how/why this file is different.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mickrussom:
I think I fixed it. The libril files were not original, so I downloaded a stock image, extracted the system.img file, changed it from sparse to raw, mounted it ext4, and put the originals on /system/lib. Working so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itenos:
Hi, I'm getting the same error message like you. Unfortunately I don't have access to a PC in these days so extracting the necessary file by myself is a bit difficult.

Would you please be so kind and send me the file you extracted in order that i can just simply push it into system with root explorer?

Thank you so much

UPDATE: See below for cab file -- easy install, cheers mate

Hi guys,

I LOVE the spb pocket plus battery meter along the top. I feel NAKED without it.

But -- it doesn't work with WM2005 :(

So, here is a replacement. It shows battery and memory use at the top of the screen and works well with WM2005.

Copy to your \Windows\Startup.

You can run this first to make sure it's not a virus :) but for better proof please visit the page I found this on, and say thanks to Intek for making this!

It's nice and all, but unfortunatley I see some flickering on the power/memory bars when Synchronizing, WiFi, and even in some full screen games the bars keep showing (which is somewhat cool, but they flicker oddly).

Is this a modified version of the original?

What changed?

Is it possible to make the bars just one pixel tall?

What are the increase/decrease increments? It would be nice to have it decrease/increase by one or two pixels and have a dashed line instead of a solid line don't you think?

Best regards,

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] buzz_lightyear:
that solid line is what I like the most on it...

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] BGK:
It's not working...

Uhm,sorry, am I missing something? Just installed Powerstatus_corrected on my Magician (T-Mobile one with original ROM), but there's nothing to see (no bars... - even after soft reset... :cry: ). Do I have to activate (start) it somehow? Where is the program installed to?

Greetings,

BGK
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
Re: It's not working...

Yes, copy the executable (or make a shortcut) and place it on the Windows/Startup folder so every time you soft reset it is automatically launched...

Greetings,

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] BGK:
Sorry again, which exe? Guess I'm a little bit blind today... :roll:

TIA,

BGK
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
Okay BGK, disregard my last post... This new version installs automatically to the Startup folder, so the only thing you need to do is either use File Explorer on your PPC to navigate to Windows/Startup and click on the Powerstatus.exe file to launch it or turn off the PDA and then soft reset...

That's it...

Rayan
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] BGK:
Okay, I've got it. Obviousely while you where typing, I realised, that the exe was installed into /Windows/startup. As the autostartup-folder is named "Autostart" on german devices, the exe wasn't run on soft reset...

When running it manually, it works like a charm... :P

Anyway, thanks for the hint, Rayan.

Greetings,

How to uninstall it? :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Rayan:
Yes, it runs under both OSes... :)

Just take the .CAB file and copy it to your Pocket PC and then execute it from there... It will install to the Windows/Startup folder (or Autorun for German devices).

Soft reset the device by turning off then soft reset or simply navigate to the installed directory and execute it from there.

e_status

Hi guys,

i liked this app so much, and i was so insolent, that i rewrote a bit... :o))

now those bars are shown at the bottom of the screen, coz it is not so busy there as at the top. That means not so much flickering... Of course, if you run full screen apps, it will mess with it, because it is drawing directly to screen...

Now there are four bars...

green -> main battery %

yellow -> backup batery % (this is 2 B changed to BatteryDrain l8r)

orange -> Free RAM %

red -> Free Storage memory %

i also changed the it's behaviour, while the device is cradled... now it looks more alive :o)))

oh yeah... i named it e_status (enhanced status??) :o)))))

hope. U'll like it...

buzz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] pschoch:
Buzz, you're the best! I also liked this prog but the flickering of the icons was annoying.

One request: Can you make one simple version with only one line? I don't need to see storage etc. I rather see more of the beautiful soft buttons.

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sergio_Bandeira:
Configuration

Hi all!

I think the best option is to have a little configuration screen where we can choose what lines / options we want to see.

An example:

- [ ] Battery

- [ ] Backup Battery

- [ ] Storage

- [ ] Memory

- [ ] Other Stuff that Buzz will add :P

With checkboxes (show or not) or comboboxes (to choose the order to display).

It can also have a color chooser to wich option.

Another subject:

I know a little of programming but I don't know how to begin to do stuff like that.

May you help me?

What do I need to start doing Windows Mobile applications?

- MS Visual Studio .NET

- Windows Mobile SDK

- A little base template

- And your help :wink:

thanx in advance
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Pope:
Here ya go... a slight variant I made.

- Just shows battery status

- Multi-coloured bar - red section is 10%, yellow section is 15% more, green is the rest

- Bar starts to the right of the "Start" button as per the pocket plus version

- When on battery power, it "does less work" in order to preserve the battery, this does mean however that it updates the screen less often and so any flickering may be more apparent.

Also BatteryStatus2002 is a slightly different version which will run on PPC2002 :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] lutzh:
good work, guys, keep it up! i always hated to install spb plus on my 2003se since it was just too big and too much stuff i did not need - but i liked the power bar! now i found the perfect replacement :-)

cheers, lutz
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] Sergio_Bandeira:
I have to say this...

I use the SPB power bar and a love it.

It don't crash on my WM5 or I don't have detected it.

One of the pros on BatteryStatus is that I can see it in all screens, in games and in applications.

Sometimes it isn't necessary... I think...

The only suggestion I have to it is a better and discrete design.

For example, it can be 50% transparent green in GOOD, 75% transparent yellow in LOW and when it come to VERY LOW it changes to 100% RED.

Do you understand me?

Thanks for this application and all your job!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] G-Star:
that's exactly my opinion - but I didn't install spbPlus cos of the other stuff ...

tried to recover and extract it from the Spb CAB - but failed :x

now I'm VERY hapy to see this tiny thing :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] jelp:
Re: Configuration

Excellent idea that I was to suggest while I read the posts.

I'll add the option to choose:

() display on top of screen

() display on bottom of screen

as I use GigaBar and it does cover the top and does it OVER any other utils.

TIA.

Here's the link.

I thikn since we were talking about the battery drain with the e_status utility. I think if the concepts discussed in this blog are incorporated into e_status (that means you BUZZ, please please cause i love that e)status utility)... then it would be too awesome!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] humayunl:
Hey pope,

I like the new version you have made. Especially the newer and more power efficient version you posted on Buzz.dev

The only thing is that on the top bar, it causes a lot of flicker due to lots of activity in that area. Can you please make a variation with the bar showing at the bottom?

I think this tool is awesome and I am very eagerly waiting for this little flicker resolution (by placing it at the bottom) so I can start using it again.

Thanks alot.

Hi and thanks to Awojtas/Buzz/Pope (and of course Intek),

I've been using Pope's last version (for WM5) and luv it. Any chance of a minor mod though? Such that when on charge the bar doesn't scan across the full width (0%-100%) but only from the current charge level onwards (%charged-100%) so that u can see how close to full charge u r without having to take it out off the cradle/ off charge?

If not nobody has time, I'm going to try it myself anyway but I have a lot to learn first so it may take me some time as I'm only starting out.

Many thanks once again.

Cheers - Mallow1

PS if you beat me to it I'd appreciate it if u wud post the code again so I can learn from the amendments

has anyone ever tested cpu load while using these various SPB replacement battery monitor programs?

my experience was that after synch with AS4 the cpu doesn't scale down to 0% load & stays at around 45%, that's what XCPUScalar is showing. it's draining the battery faster than if you don't have it or if using the orig SPB batt meter.

can anybody else confirm?
