[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaindyson:
Thanks guys, and as you say I turned off GPS and that made no difference, and asuka how would I go about identifying those apps?

Perhaps I should add that this only began after I updated liquid smooth and moved from Franco to matr1x, my app list has not changed and this was not happening before, so something must have changed that I want to change back :P

Google Play Services must of updated to the latest version which really causes battery drainage with CPU and GPS use.

Android 4.3 does not solve this issue unfortunately.

You can uninstall updates from Google Play Services in the Settings.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxo60:
I can help a little with that.

Indeed is from Google Services, more specific, the Location service. I myself have spent the last week trying to see what is happening with this topic, and it seems that last Google Maps update came with an issue using Google Services. Then I tried to freeze and then to uninstall the app, but made no difference.

I made a clean install of Carbon with no sync from Google, so I could see what´s the source of such battery drain.

I discovered that the drain come specifically from an option in Location settings: Settings > Location Access > Wi-Fi & Mobile Network Location.

I left GPS Satellites checked and even with that, no more Google Services drain. All the drain come from the other option, and is more noticeable when you are connected to WiFi.

No need to disable other Location services nor other settings about locations, just unckeck that option and Google Services won´t even appear in the battery graph.

Hope it helps.

Recently I buyed a QTEK 2020i + SD card with WM2003SE and I installed in SD card TomTom Navigator, Battery Pack Pro, Resco Explorer, Collins, e-wallet, i-Silo and Metro to not wasting memory.

I need to do some hard reset with loosing these soft and needing to reinstall.

Where I have to put these soft (in main memory?, in storage memory?, in SD card I saw that I loose soft...) in case I have to do a hard reset not loosing all these programs and needing to reinstall?

Hello Everyone,

I'm hoping someone can help me out.

I installed ROM Manager on my phone, and (honestly not sure why!) but I did. When I launched the application, it told me that v. 6.0 was available if I wanted to update - Stupid me, updated ClockWorkMod to v6.0.

Well, everything was fine.. until I decided to use the ROM Manager Backup option - When I rebooted, it got stuck on

"Could not do normal boot"

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SGH-M919

CURRENT BINARY: Custom

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

CSB-OEM_CONFI_LSB: 0X30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

Downloading....

Do not turn off target!!

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've tried VOL UP + HOME + POWER - but it goes right back to this spot. I've pulled the battery waited for 5 mins - then tried the same VOL UP + HOME + POWER - still nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jay :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Don't press the home button is the first thing I can think of.

Power + Volume up = Custom Recovery

Power + Volume down = ODIN/Download mode

To get into Recovery mode:

Pull battery

Insert battery but Don't turn phone on.

Press Power + Volume up buttons and hold them until you see the custom recovery prompt in blue lettering in the upper left corner of the S4, and then immediately release the buttons. You should enter into Recovery.

I don't use CWM so I'm not that familiar with its installation, etc. But there are a few threads that go into CWM in detail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JayCapo1-8125:
Plugged it back up to ODIN - pushed out the old ClockWorkMod and system booted back up!! Phew!!

I think I'm going with TWRP..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:

https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html

Install with ODIN.

Steps to follow........

Method #1 -

Place file in PDA box*

Uncheck all other boxes.

Press start.

When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.

Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.

Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.

Method #2 -

The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:

Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*

Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.

Start the installation and let the phone reboot.

I believe the above method is method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1 is then recommended.

Here is an explanation why:

TWRP been having some issues, even the one people claim to be stable. Be caution with that one as well. Let us know how it works out if not can direct you to other recoveries. There are several out there all working flawlessly. Just matter of what you want you know?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JayCapo1-8125:
TWRP looks to have worked for me.

But I can see what you mean. I no longer get stuck in ODIN MODE - but I was having issues after dropping a ROM on my phone. Even after successful setup of the ROM, if I decided to reboot just for giggles. It would freeze on Samsung S4 Logo.

Well, I have since fixed this issue:

I believe the reason why I was getting stuck on Samsung S4 Logo on reboot was because in addition to wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik - I also formatted the internal_sd - this is just a theory but my internal_sd regardless of me dumping a ROM on there, after reboot would do nothing - When I went in recovery - internal_sd showed 0MB. Thus, stuck boot screen. Nothing to boot too.

FIX: Installed STOCK ROM, and KERNEL - Confirmed, that reboot works after setting up phone. My understanding is that it installs all the necessary folder structure required. Got the STOCK ROM from: http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-stock-firmware/

Then followed this root process and recovery:

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-ro...g-twrp-method/

Once I did that, booted to recovery did the normal (wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik) then dropped ALPHA ROM on my phone, along with Infamous KERNEL, and everything is great. Reboots like a champ now. -- Still using TWRP, but v. 2.5.0 - (no issues as of yet! :) )

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Install ODIN 3.07 to your pc

Install drivers for your device onto your pc

I'll post a link to the ODIN thread so you can see how it's done ;)

Update:

Here ya go:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258628

Please read the above thread in the link carefully.

If your device is stuck on a screen, what were you doing prior to get to that state.

First, boot into custom recovery and Wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot, and see if that helps.

Either way, you should have ODIN on your pc
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sincity:
Thanks a million... I'll give it a try! Wish me luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I edited my link above.

You'll be fine.

Any questions, ask in the thread after you read about ODIN and how it works.

Once you install it on to your pc, along with the drivers which enable youropc totrecognize your device you'll find it very helpful when needed.

I have, and so have almost everyone who have ever rooted their devices and/or flashed ROMs, etc ;)

By the way, you are not rooted?

I ask because if you are, you would have used ODIN.

What is exactly wrong now with your device?

---------- Post added at 11:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------

If you go with TWRP, don't use Goo Manager as that will install 2.6.0.0 which has some issues for some, as you probably know.

Install TWRP 2.5.0.2 with ODIN, which I did many months ago, and have had zero issues.

You can install with Mobile ODIN also I believe.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LuckyStrike88:
I don't really see why they would give you grief about it. As stiff as the competition is I think your carrier is probably more worried about you giving them the boot than anything. If you had unlimited data and used an insane amount they might care but even then I think they'd just throttle you. (not physically) :)

At least on my i717 you could use TiBu to freeze a system app which controlled tethering and if you had a widget you could do wifi tethering with just root and a stock rom.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] LordLugard:
...which is why i'm glad i have a Note 2 as a cell phone. Battery lasts eons and for the brief periods i would need data when out and about, it would suffice just well. Everyone's use case scenario is different. I could tether for hours via my Note 2 and not hit the battery a lick. Bluetooth tethering is also an option as well.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheWerewolf:
Here's the question for me... will the Nexus 7 (2013) LTE support internet tethering. I'm talking about providing it for other devices, not tethering to another device like a phone (what would be the point of getting a tablet that can do cellular data if I have to tether it to a phone that does cellular data)?

The Nexus 7 (2012) couldn't do this out of the box - making it one of the very few modern Android devices like this that couldn't.

I know there are modded ROMs that can, in theory, do this (although from what I've read so far, they're iffy and aren't exactly easy to use), but I'd rather have it right there in the official ROMs.

In the end, if it can't do tethering and it can't be used as a real phone, then I'm thinking the LTE/3G isn't that useful. It would be more practical to connect to my phone and get the wifi version now rather than waiting. Especially since I'd have to buy another data plan anyway.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Zurginator:
The big question for me is could I use it as a phone (preferably with stock SMS and Phone apps)? Everyone has pretty solid LTE coverage here, so I'm not all that worried, especially considering my average use of less than a minute.

Me too!! Sprint has the entire area around me blanketed in LTE!!!

I use my WIFI at home, at only need to tether if I'm out shopping. I'm on Disability now after a bad car wreck, but when I go back to work any dealership I go to (ASE certified automotive technician) will have WIFI for me to use. Used it on my Asus Infinity at the dealership I was at before my wreck.

Right there with ya man!! My Note 2 gets excellent battery life, plus I've got a spare OEM battery, external battery charger, and 12,000mah external battery pack with dual USB ports that allows charging from both simultaneously!! I never run out of juice no matter where I'm at, or how long I'm there for. I pay Sprint for unlimited data, so why not take advantage of it :D!! Having fast LTE everywhere around me (I average 30Mbps download at home) is just icing on the cake!!

Sounds very similar to my setup! Very simple to setup and use! I don't see why people say that it's too much of a hassle to tether from their phone. Takes me 10 seconds to start tethering on my phone, and it just sits in my tablet's carrying case while I'm using my tablet. It's not in my way or any kind of hassle what so ever! I'd much rather spend 10 seconds to start tethering on my phone, than spend $10 or more every month for an additional data plan!!

ASUS VIVOTAB RT WINDOWS 8 TABLET AVAILABLE ON AT&T'S 4G LTE NETWORK BEGINNING NOV. 16

summary:

"AT&T customers have access to the nation’s largest 4G network, covering 285 million people. AT&T has two 4G networks that work together for customers, LTE and HSPA+ with enhanced backhaul. That means AT&T customers are able to enjoy a widespread, ultra-fast and consistent 4G experience on their compatible device as they move in and out of LTE areas.2 With other carriers, when you travel outside of their LTE coverage area, you may be on a much slower 3G network.

Customers purchasing Windows 8 tablets from AT&T have more options in choosing the plan that’s right for them and their mobile devices. With new AT&T Mobile Share plans, new and existing customers can share a single bucket of data across smartphones, tablets, and other compatible devices. AT&T Mobile Share allows customers to build a plan to fit their devices and usage. For as low as $10 per month, customers can connect the ASUS VivoTab RT 4G LTE tablet with AT&T's new Mobile Share plans. Customers can select one of the new shared data plans or choose one of AT&T’s existing individual or family plans.3

The ASUS VivoTab RT will be available in AT&T company-owned retail stores nationwide and online at www.wireless.att.com."

I'm on a T-Mobile pre-paid unlimited everything plan ($70/month), and I haven't run into an issue yet where they ask me to sign up for a tethering plan. I'm thinking this may be because I'm tethering to another Android device, so they can't tell what I'm doing. I wonder if I tethered to, say, a Windows laptop using Internet Explorer, if they would notice what I was doing and shut me down?

To each his own! I never run into battery life issues, because I'm diligent about charging the phone whenever I'm near an outlet or car charger or USB port. If I'm on the move, I carry one of those portable charger things, but I never end up actually having to use it.

My primary motivation is that I'm cheap! Yes, I'd rather have a tablet that was connected via a mobile connection all the time, but I don't want to pay the extra money for the device and the extra money for the data plan.

Regarding tethering, I also was thinking to wait out for the LTE version but to be honest, the Bluetooth tethering between my SIII and Nexus 7 32GB (2013) works perfect. I just leave it turned on once I step out of my room, as of today, all day Bluetooth tethered, 13h with 71% left and 2h screen on time, hence I am fine with the decision.
