Hello! I couldnt find this on the internet so i just toughed, why not ask it here!

I have a galaxy s plus which has bluetooth 2.3 (i believe). Now the cookoo smartwatch uses bluetooth 4.0... Can i still use my old galaxy s plus with the cookoo smart watch?
[Other SmartWatches] SCM020:
No, only in beta for SGS4 right now. It requires new low power BT standard.

Hi guys, what can you tell about this? Personally, I noticed that games wont keep in memory if I go to another app, like whatsapp, and then return to the game. For example, candy crush, subway surfers...if I do multitasking with paused game, when I come back its gone...

That's almost always been the case for me with android... Maybe I just have too many apps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nudou350:
A good Custom kernel Will solve that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banditnich:
My gnex 4.3 is fine with multitasking... just now I check switching from Prince of Persia to whatsapp then to play store back again to the game. Resuming the game went fine.

Maybe you put your background setting limit to none.... try checking your Background process limit on Setting > Developer options
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madd0g:
They do when you have enough resources.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
You have to understand also that these apps aren't updated with 4.3 api so the apps aren't used to the way 4.3 handles the memory of keeping apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
sucks in my opinion.. but i have only tried custom 4.2 never been on stock 4.2 soo can't say if 4.3 stock is better... for me custom rom 4.2 and kernel were far more better performance wise..

still you guys know better and more than me coz i own the phone only from the past 2mnths

True...I was with CM, then came to stock just a few days before I update, and dont remember playing a lot, so maybe stock 4.2.2 its the same...

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banditnich:
I never use CM, I can surely says Stock 4.3 is far more better than Stock 4.2.2 performance wise... 4.1 is the fastest i think... but maybe it's because the butter first introduce to us, and we came from GB or ICS with more lag on UI.

FYI using stock from 4.1 to 4.2.2, I never had any issues on multitasking... maybe because I never had a lot of apps and games installed, IIRC I can multitasking with minimal 3 or 4 apps back and forth with no problem whatsoever
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
4.3 should be faster because it introduces a new frtrim (?) function that helps with memory management so the system doesn't start to crawl after a while. Frankly it should work better overall but this might be a downfall.

On my N72, I was playing Riptide 2 and it crashed during a race. Probably just a crash but could have been an emergency memory seizure. Probably not but could be.

We'll just have to see

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Hey guys,

I previously had a black 16GB Nexus 4 that was perfect in terms of build quality. I switched to the white 16GB version when that came out, and am having some problems with my device. The biggest issue is that there's a dark vertical line running down the left hand side of the screen (attached picture). The phone is also creaky on all four corners of the device when I press down on it. Also, on the left side of the phone, one of the clips isn't properly seated and you can see a bit of a gap. Is this something that Google will replace my device for? The screen defect is pretty annoying. Anyone have experience with Google's RMA process? I can't be without a phone... How much money do they put a hold on your credit card for if you do an advance RMA (cross ship)? Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I would RMA it. They cover it.

Full price is held on card.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Thanks for reply. I think I'll definitely be RMAing it. I just hope they kept some extra white models for RMA purposes, because I believe the white has been sold out on the Google Play store

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Just ask them when you call in for the RMA. If they don't , get a refund.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Just so u guys know the process. I called in and explained issue. He walked me thru some basic troubleshooting. Last thing he wanted me to do was a factory reset. So he emailed me instructions how to do it and told me to call/email back if the factory reset fixed it. If it didn't fix it, he would have the device replaced. So I emailed him back after I did the factory reset (even tho I knew it wouldnt fix anything) telling him it didn't fix the issue. He then emailed back saying he was forwarding my case to a specialist who would help get me a replacement device. Waiting to hear from the specialist now. Should hear something by tomorrow. If they're out of the white model nexus 4's, I wonder if I can get them to upgrade me to the HTC One or Galaxy S 4 Google Play Editions (since their both white)... Hey, a man came dream right? I'll be documenting the RMA process in the thread for the benefit of others in the future.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatherboard:
You can never know, maybe they will upgrade it for free. good luck, and thanks for sharing the procedure with us.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabitex2:
My screen died, first it wouldn't respond to touch and before I could factory reset the whole phone died, can't get to fastboot and it isn't recognized in adb. My new phone will be here Monday and I don't know if they will go good on the warranty as the defective one has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery on it. Only time will tell! I'll let you guys know when the dust settles. As for the dark line on your screen, I bought a TV that had the same thing and they had to replace it..I think they said it was the display monitor that had went.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Received my prepaid shipping label to ship my phone back to Google. Strangely, I didn't request an advance RMA, but they put in for an advance RMA anyway, so I had to give my credit card which they put an authorization for the full amount of the phone. What if I didn't have the money? Whatever happened to doing a *normal* RMA? Where they wait to receive the defective item, inspect it, and then send the replacement device, no credit cards needed. So I don't like that they give no option except advance RMA. Not everyone has an extra $350 laying around.

Another point of concern. It said in the RMA instructions to keep the charger that came with the phone because the replacement phone doesn't come with a charger. I emailed them back about this and asked why the new phone doesn't come with a charger, because NEW phones come with chargers. I asked so I could make sure that I'd be receiving a new phone. That would be a bunch of crap if they hold your credit card for $350+ and send you a refurb phone.

Looks like they still have white Nexus 4's in stock for RMA purposes. It stated on the RMA page "16GB white nexus 4 with bumper". So much for lucking out and having them upgrade me hehe.

I'll keep updating as more information becomes available.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabitex2:
Very strange..I specifically asked about refurbished devices in our emails back and forth and they assured me that they only send out new devices. I also emailed them about the charger and was told to return my old one as I would be getting a new one as well? I hope for our sake that what they told me was true..mine will be here tomorrow 07/29/13. I'll report back when I receive it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
I have yet to receive a reply to my email asking why I shouldn't return my charger, since new devices come with them. Good to hear that you got a reply saying to return the charger because you'd be getting a new one. I think what might be going on is that what they send is simply a boilerplate copy/paste email. All signs *seem* to point to us getting new devices. I wonder if we'll be getting new bumper cases as well? Did you return the bumper with your phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabitex2:
No, I kept my bumper as I'm sure they won't replace it..lucky I ordered two sets of best skins screen protectors as well because I doubt they would reimburse you for that either :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Got my replacement. It's a new device and thankfully it has no screen flaws or creaking. It's a white Nexus 4, so it's a 305K just like my last one. Cheers guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Also want to add they sent me a new bumper as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Guess what... Replacement device has developed the same grey vertical line (left hand side) issue. After further research, seems many others are experiencing this issue. I doubt another RMA will fix it, as I'm starting to believe it's a characteristic/defect of the phone/display's design.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bellasahbella:
hey, i finally found someone able to post a picture of this. i had the same issue with my n4 bought in december, i noticed, called google, got a new replacement device for free and guess what? that bloody line was still there! now i'm just keeping this replacement device with (once again) the line and..i guess i'll just live with it! :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Doesn't that make you mad? I really like the phone, I just am really sensitive to screen flaws. I emailed Google to see if I can pay the difference for a GS4 Google Play Edition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
Update: Google granted RMA for the replacement device they sent me that had the same issue (read above). Just waiting now for a "specialist" (just like last time) to send me a prepaid shipping label.

Mine too..i have strange vertical line even i swapped but the new one also have this issue...is there any solution to fix without warranty claim?is it possible to fade away by itself after few weeks/months?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powruser:
I've found no way to fix it. It's definitely a hardware issue. Mine have gotten worse over time. I just sold the last replacement one Google sent me without even opening it. Got a Nexus 5 and crossing my fingers but haven't had any issues with it

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbdags:
Yep got it working on 4.1 and on 4.2. You need to use the insmod method to mount cifs.ko or use a kernel that has cifs preinstalled like _that's.

Just be careful if you've never ran CM 10.1, alot of posts lately about the emulated 0 folder for multiple users, causing internal storage issues for some. Make a backup of your internal storage before flashing, just in case.

[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
So in the past few weeks I have downloaded a couple 'task killer' apps in an attempt to free up some RAM usage. I'm currently using (after a fresh reboot) 515mb w/ 325 mb free. After about an hour of my phone just sitting (no calls, games, texts, etc.) My RAM usage will jump up to ~750mb used w/ 90mb free. Every time I kill an app it just reboots, eating my RAM again.

What I would like to know, is even after I 'kill' all apps (appearing in Clean Master) I am still using ~600mb. What on earth is using so much RAM, and WHY does my phone use so much?

Also: DEATH TO GOOGLE BLOATWARE. GOOGLE, YOU ARE BECOMING THE INTERNET MICROSOFT AND I HOPE YOU FALL. HARD.

tl;dr: how do i prevent apps from constantly running WITHOUT uninstalling everything or doing a fresh install
[Motorola Atrix 2] erdal67:
Maybe try a custom kernel
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
i was unaware that the kernel was unlocked. i have a HTC Inspire with CM7 running, but the screen is busted badly. Usable, but its terrible. that thing runs better than my atrix 2, and my atrix 2 has 'much better' specs than the htc.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Run a custom ROM? Custom ROM have got debloated a lot and ram management is better IMO.. Also try greenify to kill app while u don't use it..
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
Again, as far as I am aware, the kernel is locked. The only type of rom we atrix 2 owners can get are custom skins basically. Unless I am mistaken, I can't put cyanogenmod on my atrix 2. As much as I would love to.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
Owh.. We have a lot of custom..and we can use jbx kernel kexec boot.. We have cm10.12 which is the latest version I think.. Mokee , miui v5.. Check our android dev section and u'll amazed.. ;)

Edit: I think I know what u meant.. Yeah its only a port.. But at least it got better performance..
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
If I remember the thread correctly, the Atrix 2 bootloader is locked, and we cannot get custom kernels for our Atrix 2. Yea, theres all sorts of mods out there, but without the bootloader unlocked we can't get a custom kernel, which, unless I am mistaken, is what I truly need.

wasted RAM??

Folks. free RAM is wasted RAM

Task killers are the only waste.

Android is meant to have applications running in background.

Just read around. you'll find all you need.
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
That's perfectly fine and dandy, but I've had to remove my battery several times JUST to reboot due to too much ram being used. Imagine trying to load, say, the settings page, and all you get is, after 20 minutes, "homepage is not responding."

2nd of all, my PC currently has 11gb of ram free + however much the paging file isn't using. I have no problem loading anything. Once I start reaching the threshold for the amount of ram I have, my pc will bluescreen and reboot. RAM is meant to be used, by all means. but when other apps are HOGGING it, it prevents OTHER apps from properly using it. I am trying to find out what is HOGGING my ram and free it up, so that other more important processes can use it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
Damn. Thats alot of ram.

I'd say you probably have too much crap on your phone. And the fact that your obviously running stock seals the deal.

Uninstall all the crap, or install a custom Rom.
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
Yea, I've been keeping an eye on custom roms. Mostly waiting for everything to be unlocked before i attempt anything though. Super simple to get my HTC rooted and unlocked, looks like the atrix 2 is proving to be more difficult. From my understanding: Bootloader is locked, which won't allow for full kernel replacement, just emulation. Full custom rom features require a completely custom kernel, which can't be achieved until the bootloader is unlocked.

If im wrong about this, please explain it to me. I spent 6 months or so researching the do's and dont's, whys and why nots of rooting and unlocking my HTC before i even attempted it.

Also, I don't have a lot of 'crap' on my phone. 5 or 6 games which i recycle (when i dont play it for 2 weeks i delete it, unless i REALLY like it), i have the 'basic' apps (social networking). There's currently 104 apps on my phone, most of which i have never even loaded once, yet can't uninstall (google music, mobile hotspot, google messenger, music store, play movies and tv, read books, just to name a few)

From what I can SEE, the biggest culprit is google bloatware, forcing crap down my throat i have absolutely no use for. i clean my phone twice a month (removing temp files, directory cleanup from uninstalled games, etc) as well. I just want to see what ELSE is using my ram. I've killed all tasks, whats using 500mb of ram now.

To give you an idea, as i said before, I have 12gb of ram on my pc. i currently have 15 tabs in firefox open, steam running, and 2 games in the background. I'm only using 28% of my total ram, or 3.4gb. If I close out of everything, I'll only have 10% used, or 1.2gb. Translated to my phone, There is no reason I should be using 60%+ of my ram, when NOTHING is running.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MotoMudder77:
bootloader is not gonna get unlocked, so you can stop waiting for that.

No such thing as a "Full" custom ROM. unlocked devices can run custom kernels which is much better. We have kexec. not sure if its really emulated, but something like that. I havent read up on the details.

Your way off on who you are blaming. You dont have a google phone, you have a motorola, a very crappy one at that. The applications you listed, well I've never heard of, and are motorola junk. along with alot more that your unaware of.

You will never get your ram empty. You cant. unless you turn your phone off. applications MUST run for your phone to work. Launcher, phone, system, ect.

Cant compare a windows PC to a device. thats like windows to linux, completely different.

You looking to much into it. your issue is your running stock. Root it, and install a custom ROM.
[Motorola Atrix 2] noodlesdefyyou:
I'll look in to that. I don't want to empty my ram, thats a futile effort. I just want to find out what is using 500mb of my 800mb available. When I first got my phone, I was only using 250-300ish, tops. What happened between day one and day, well, now, that took another 200ish mb chunk of available ram. And if it truly is _JUST_ core system os files that are using 500mb of ram, well, then that is terrible coding. and i dont care WHAT brand of android you have, you are using a google phone, seeing as how android is owned and developed by google.

Here is a little list for you:

AT&T Smart Wifi

AT&T Navigator

Email

Emergency Alerts

GMail (Why are there 2 separate email apps? Email can pull gmail just fine)

Google Settings (NOT PHONE SETTINGS)

Google+

Google Hangouts

Google+ Messenger (Again, I don't use G+, why do I have this automatically installed)

Help Center (The manual isn't good enough I guess)

Messages (Not the text message app, some random junk that was installed with the OS, guessing AT&T)

Movies (Pretty sure this is Moto)

Music Store (Again, probably Moto)

My Music (Definitely Moto)

MyAT&T (This is stupid)

Navigation (By Google. Again, AUTOMATICALLY installed with os, along side AT&T Nav. Why do I need 2 GPS apps?)

News & Weather (I can look outside to see if its raining)

People (exact same thing as Contacts, this one is by Google)

Play Books (Google)

Play Movies and TV (Google)

Play Music (Google, and the 2nd music player)

Google Search

Social Location

Everything I just listed I have absolutely ZERO use for. Yes, I have a Motorola phone, but the software is Google. And, I reiterate, Google is the bloatware culprit.

11 Google Apps

3 or 4 AT&T Apps

3 or 4 Motorola Apps

All that being said; Yes, I will still look in to that custom rom, and I appreciate the help.
[Motorola Atrix 2] hafizkris90:
emulation or not.. its still better.. tbh unlocking the boot loader seems to be impossible,., yeah Motorola is suck.. but not people here.. they are dedicated to what ever they do..for me full rom, half rom even quarter rom or emulation kernel if thats gonna ease up ur my phone imma go for it.. maybe im not a tech savvy to begin with.. i've tried living with stock ics.. believe me its harder than it spose even im rooted and freezes unwanted app..why dont give these rom a go and see if its good..
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well it's not the kernel that is locked,it's the bootloader.

Lol you could not be more off.The custom ROMs we have are not just custom skins.Well not the JB custom ROMs atleast.They have been built from source(most of them)

I could agree with you regarding the ICS ROMs as almost all of them are based on stock ICS and are modified to have a better performance,UI,unlocked features etc...

And sure you can put a CM on A2.Hell you've got two CM actually,CM10,CM10.1(wait for it CM is about to get official for A2)

True,bootloader is locked and the bootloader does a verification which doesn't allow custom kernels.But wait that doesn't mean we don't have a cure."kexec" is the method used to bypass that hurdle of verification.It does this by taking over once the stock kernel(the one the damn bootloader looks for)loads and then begins the work of our "kexec-kernel".And it is custom Ofcourse.Read around about kexec it'll give you a better perspective.

While it's true that the fruit of patience is sweet,but you know wait too much and the fruit will rot by itself.(You get the point)

IMO this device is not gonna be fully unlocked not in the foreseeable future atleast.So unless you wanna keep using the same phone no matter what era it is,I suggest moving on.

Well the custom kernels we have are not just emulation they are the real deal.True there are few bugs left to be ratified but that's just some fine tuning if you ask me.

Well I think I have walked you through most of the stuff.But seeing you read around for 6 months(really??:eek:) I'm gonna tell you a few routes you may take:

1.If you're so skeptical about custom ROMs, kernel etc and from what I see you just need to get rid of those bloatwares.Root your phone and remove them manually.

2.Install a ICS based ROM(Numa,supercharged etc).They are basically same as option 1 except the task has already been done by someone for you.Plus they threw in a few(actually a lot) more goodies which just make you go woooo...

3.Go to the next step of things get a taste of JB and experience the taste of custom kernel.

Of course do it on your own accord, as it's your device and your choice after all.

And do read around and ask before doing anything if you are unsure..

Do follow the instructions carefully...
