[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] :
A "clean" install usually just involves wiping data/dalvik/cache. This is the same as the "Factory Reset" option in TWRP (so there is no need to go into Advanced Wipe).

Most ROMs wipe system by itself during the zip installation, so you shouldn't wipe system. You should not wipe system unless you are explicitly told to do so by the developer.

As far as the bootloader is concerned, leave it unlocked.

Recently i have a problem with annoying pop-up ads. Not only does it happen when i'm browsing the web, but lately also in apps that are working online (manga readers etc). This i the ad:

I have no way of avoiding them. First i have to go to the webpage it sends me to, then i have a chance to go back to the page i was reading. It happens randomly.

I've tried to search for some help online (that pop-up is called Android Security Plus") and i couldn't find any anwsers. I've also scanned my tablet with 360 security and i've used Airpush Detector. No luck.

Any sugestions?

Noob question: I currently have twrp and cyanogenmod. I want to start using stock rooted and not delete my internal storage. I don't mind about data, in fact, a factory reset would be the smart choice.

Can I just

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

Then, enter twrp, flash supersu, wipe data+cache

Profit

Isn't his viable?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TaintedByte:
I thought about adding the warranty status on the thread, the issue is that since it's a Nexus there's no clear cut answer. Google doesn't say anything one way or another and generally accepts RMA regardless of software status but it's not necessarily official.

I did update the version numbers and changed the author for the thread and the thread link, thank you for providing me with the updated info! ;)

Since you are s-off, follow this guide to update your firmware to 3.32 or 3.33: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21711154

Follow all instructions and then flash ICS/jellybean ROM. All bootloops should be gone and ROM should boot up perfectly. Also, make sure you make a nandroid backup in case something goes wrong! :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconata:
Hi all fellow forum members! It was about time to retire my old Galaxy S2, and i decided to buy a S4 Mini. About the same size, better specs and everything. But i dont like the battery life at all. I dont think its normal for my battery to discharge 20% over 8 hours at night. Does anyone have the same problem? I have been trying different approaches. I installed Snapdragon BatteryGuru, put the phone on power saving mode all the time, even switched 3G off, although without 3G there seems to be an improvement, but I'll let you know how's that going. So my concern is that i might have a faulty device.. or software.. idk.. when i had crazy discharge syndrome on my S2 i just changed the kernel and/or the ROM. Any advice or opinions on the battery life of the S4 mini will be welcomed and appreciated!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonasb_dk:
I don't have too many battery problems, I guess. My phone has been off the charger for around 10 hours - and the battery has dropped to 85% - which I think it OK. I've sent some text messages, checked e-mails, used WhatsApp and had a few phone calls, not exceeding 10 minutes in total. Oh, and the GPS is on 24/7 for now, but I've just got the phone rooted, so this will not be the case any longer. The phone says it still have some 7½ hours left - which wouldn't be enough for an "all nighter" tonight. :)

I have disables many of the push notifications, which might be the reason why I think it's a fair battery life so far. I used to have the SGS2 as well, which lasted around the same as this phone I reckon. The biggest hog is the Google Services/Framework that takaroundes up 25% of the battery usage at the moment.

I have though of having getting an extra battery for this phone, as it's always nice to have one charged.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Norris5:
My I9195 uses about 3% during night (7 hours, 3G data and wifi off). Try to use an app to see wakelocks used on your device, e.g. Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats - they might provide you with some hints to apps that keep your mini from deep sleep, which can cause the battery drain.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arco68:
If it's an I9195, can you try to disable NFC and see if it improves?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
My biggest drain is the screen. The device lasts about as long as my friend's S2 (we were playing a coop game together) and then surfed the net over 3G for a while.

We both scrambled to look for a nearby charging socket at almost the same time :p
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconata:
Thanks for your replies guys! I will try those apps and report back. Wakelock already found one of my apps that has awaken the phone 1200 times.. shieeeeeeeet.. hopefully now that I have disabled it things will go better..
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iconata:
Hi all! I have found the source of my battery drain. It's Google location services. Turns out it's a common problem on android 4.2.2. I tutned off Google location an I my phone drained 2% over 8 hours. Sync, wifi and 3g were also turned on. There is a fix over at the nexus 4 forums, but it requires root and I don't know if it will work on our galaxies. If you have root, google nip wakelock fix, try it and report back.

I had battery problems on my s4. Turns out it was the SD card. Removed it and battery improved. In the end I had to change it for a new one.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjafox:
Which one did you use? Sandisk 32GB?

I got an S4 mini for my gf with that card and it has terrible battery life.

The battery drained from 100% at 7 in the morning to 15% at 5 in the afternoon...

That's surely not normal...

Edit:

I noticed that the "media" service took up almost as much cpu time and power as (active for 1,5 hours) as the mobile connection.

I suspect, that some corrupt media files or whatever kept the service alive, which tried to scan the DCIM folder over and over again.

I checked the SD Card which was full of almost 5GB of old pictures pictures which for some reason couldn't be deleted because of "unknown errors".

So I took the SD Card out and put it in a card reader, to back up the files. Then I deleted the files, put the card back and formated the card.

Then I copied only some of the new pictures back into the DCIM folder... I'll see tomorrow if that helped.

Battery Drain

Hi iconata,

Can you let me know how to "disable" Google location services, which you observed as the source of battery drain? I believe I have disabled it but the battery drain issue still persists.

And FYI - the following is the message I wrote to Samsung and am waiting for their test to validate the result of my S4 Mini. Based on what Samsung told me, the Safe Mode calls out same phone settings as Factory Default, but it seems the following test cases did reveal different resutls from what Samsung told me...

Message to Samsung

-----------------------------------

Hi,

Thanks for advising to check battery under Safe Mode. The following is the 3 test cases I have done but I still have BIG battery drain issue with my S4 Mini.

All the test cases were performed under same conditions:

1. 3G on

2. Power Save Mode on

3. Standby for 8 hours overnight, from 12:00am ~ 8:00am

Test Case-1: All the extra apps installed

- Battery drain: 3% per hour (as I already reported)

Test Case-2: Safe Mode; long press volume-down key, with Safe Mode shown at lower-left corner on desktop

- Battery drain: 0.7% per hour

Test Case-3: Factory default settings; reset to Factory Default setting; all the data were deleted and no extra apps were installed; the phone was back to the original Factory default setting

- Battery drain: 2.9% per hour

Test Case-1 and Test Case-3 almost came with same battery drain issue at same drop rate, so those extra apps installed for Test Case-1 shouldn’t have contributed to this battery drain issue so significantly. However, looks like Safe Mode and Factory Default were very different, although you thought the conditions of the 2 should be same.

I still have battery drain issue even after rolling back to Factory Default Settings, and I cannot live with Safe Mode. Please help.

Hi pudin! You can turn off Google location services from maps app. Go to settings->google location settings and uncheck allow Google to use your location. And to further improve that you can turn gps off, and turn it on when you need to. Yesterday I decided to root my phone because greenify was asking for root permission and everybody was putting the good word for that app. Turns out it's a total croc... you can hibernate downloaded apps, but you can't do the same with pre installed. 0 use. Further more I started to receive an annoying notification that my phone's security has been compromised and it needs to reboot. Got angry, downloaded an official firmware from sammobile, preinstalled, turned google location services off and got this pretty decent battery life. Screenies are below, feel free to post your thoughts. Please note that I keep BaterryGuru and PowerSave on at all time.

Battery drain

Thanks for prompt feedback iconata! Now I can confirm the Google location services have been disabled on my S4 Mini. Also, I don't enable GPS unless I need it so those battery consumption numbers were tested without GPS running in the background. I got the call from Ssmaung tonight telling me my phone consumes more power than what they tested, so I'll return it to Samsung for further diagnostic tomorrow. Will keep you posted if any update.

BTW, I'm not that kind of guy brave enough to root my phone like you guys...

battery drain during standby

Hi,

Checked the image you posted and it looks like you were still doing something such as making calls and playing game over night. Your 3% power consumption per hour is similar to mine, but in my case Cell Standby and Device Idle are the 2 major items consuming the power the most over night, when the phone really enters the standby mode. Try to have your phone enter the standby mode without doing anything over night and check if the result is still the same.

In coincidence I got notified of a FW update just yesterday night, one day before I sent my phone into Service, and it did improve battery drain significantly, from 3% to just 1% per hour over night after I checked the phone this morning.

[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
http://db.tt/pO3jumMa

This is the stock recovery you need !

Why don't you have the stock boot.img ? I assume its for your nandroid backup to return to stock. If so then the stock boot.img is inside the nandroid backup folder !
[HTC One X] ozancn:
Mate; 3.14 doesnt work on 3.18
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah it does
[HTC One X] ozancn:
before i unlocked and rooted. but after that came some updates. and i cant update. i did unroot and locked phone but still i cant update. i think i need stock boot and recovery. i've searched but cant find. also no 3.18 ruu
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
That's why you need to return to stock with a nandroid backup !

There is indeed no ruu. If you are saying you changed kernel then you can't update via ota, not even with stock recovery !

You need full stock rom (so no deleted apps in any way !!!) Stock kernel and recovery

So you need a 3.18 stock nandroid. Flash the boot.img from the nandroid, make a full wipe in recovery and restore the nandroid. Then flash back the stock recovery and update. The bootloader can stay UNLOCKED !

The stock 3.14 recovery works 100% on the 3.18 base.....the recovery did not change at all in the last updates. Even not on the official 3.20 bases.
[HTC One X] ozancn:
ok mate ill try thank u
[HTC One X] ozancn:
i used nanoroid now screen touch doesnt work...
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then you restored a old nandroid backup ! Or do mean in recovery ? Be specific please :)
[HTC One X] ozancn:
i used nanoroid backup. after i restarted phone i see touch screen not responding. now ill try again install nanoroid backup. boreeeddddddd :)

thanks for ur help mate.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Then you had a 3.14 or a 2.17 nandroid. The 3.18 has a updated touchpanel driver ! Thats why older ones don't work !
[HTC One X] ozancn:
i downloaded this Nandroid Backup 2.17.401.2 CID__Y13

3.18 not avaliable for cid y13

could u give me the link for 3.18

Use this one and don't mind the cid !

http://db.tt/UUHT2s4Z
[HTC One X] ozancn:
i installed ur backup. after i locked boot. and i tried update 3.20 but it return bootloader

writin

***relocked****

*** security warning***

on the top and not updating.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I told you not to lock it ! Keep the bootloader unlocked !!!
[HTC One X] ozancn:
when i keep bootloader unlocked this time it going on recovery menu
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Probably because unlocking it wiped it all again. Do it again. Flash the custom recovery and restore the nandroid again, then flash the stock recovery and try to update.

Must work. I did it also with another cid nandroid then mine was. Its fully tested.
[HTC One X] ozancn:
i unlocked.

pressed update

its downloaded 3.20.

pressed install but its go to recovery menu.

i pressed install from zip and i finded update file in download folder.

i pressed and its updated.

now its 3.20.401.1

thank u very very much
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah so you did not flash back the original stock recovery !!! Because with the stock HTC recovery you can't install a zip from sd ! ;)
[HTC One X] ozancn:
used philz touch 5 cwm base version 6.0.32.

but this time green tint problem. this one x make me crazy. ill throw it rubbish

Ah yeah that's a whole other story ! If you flashed back the 3.14 stock recovery the update would have gone flawlessly.
