Anyone seeing dropout when using a BT device on a phone call. I am on the Value Pack update and it has gotten considerably worse than on the base ROM. I cannot keep a BT connection past 5 mins now.

Thanks,

Steve
[LG Optimus G Pro] draiko913:
I have a lot of instances where I lose audio and can't hear the person I'm talking to but they can still hear me just fine. If I toggle the call back to the handset and then immediately back to Bluetooth, it is fine for a little while. It never loses the actual connection to my headset though.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Reclaim:
Yes Bluetooth has been pretty rough with this phone. I usually listen to music on my Bluetooth car stereo, and out drops out constantly. :/
[LG Optimus G Pro] stevefxp:
Hmmm what I am thinking of doing is resetting my phone back to the stock ROM without the value pack. I would swear it was better then but cannot be certain. Will let everyone know how I make out with this. I see nothing on the Internet about BT drop outs but I def know its happening for me.

I've only used music in the car but it's never dripped out for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dannytron:
The past week, I've been trying to find a rom and kernel that would increase my battery life. I use my phone for many different things. However, I gave up trying to do so and I am reverting back to the stock rom and kernel, as I have heard that it gives decent battery life and offers the best stability. The only problem I have with this is that the stock rom is no where as smooth as aosp roms. Sometimes it laggy and it loads stuff slowly. Any way I can get around this? I know it isn't a big deal, but to me it makes a big difference.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maniacopr:
In my opinion use a custom ROM based on stock firmware.and just test.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dannytron:
Believe me, I've tried. I haven't tried all roms, but what I do know is that I love custom roms because they are quick, responsive, and offer tweaking and customization. However, it isn't as stable and usually for me doesn't offer good battery life.

[Sony Xperia ZL] Mecmatt:
Hi,

I've just rooted the device (c6503), backed up TA-keys, and finally unlocked the bootloader using the official way through sony website. The phone booted fine and my next step was flashing a custom rom... That's when **** happend. I downloaded P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[Nightlies] and followed the instructions how to flash. Flashed the boot.img and then you need to reboot the device in recovery but the 3 sec violet led never happend...

Now I have downloaded stock ftf (C6503_10.1.A.1.434_Customized_DE.ftf) and want to flash it with flashtool but I'm unable to boot the device in flashmode (green led). I can however boot in flashboot mode (blue led) but as I understand, that doesn't help because i can't boot into recovery.

I never flashed a recovery, is that a problem?

What can i do now? Is the phone bricked?

Thanks in advance!

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

It happened to me also.

Start Flashtool, choose your xxxx.ftf and wait till it totally loads (do not connect your phone yet). Now, when your Flashtool is totally ready and the small window opens with the instruction how to connect the phone, open the small backcover of your phone and press-hold the small yellow button till it rings x3 times (it takes ~10-13 seconds to hold the button). Now, do not waist time, press-hold volume down and insert the usb cable, the flashing should start.

I had similar problem and I guess my phone root is corrupted, I cannot download updates directly from Sony but I can flash updates without problems.

If anyone knows how (if its possible) totally reflash everything, you help will be appreciated.

Good luck.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Mecmatt:
Alright, it seems like I'm having some problems with the usb drivers for flashtool... Are there different drivers for flashmode and fastboot? Because the fastboot drivers seems to be working correct but not flashmode drivers. Running windows xp, maybe that is a problem too :P Can someone please point me to the right direction of where i can download those usb drivers?

I have the modified android_winusb.inf for the Xperia Z but that doesn't seems to be enough.

I managed to flash FXP cm10.1 and got it running which also gave me a working recovery. But I would like to try out the P.A.C True All in 1 ROM[Nightlies] but when I flash the boot.img of that one I lose the recovery.... Weird, my old HTC desire Z always had the same recovery without any problems while flashing all kinds of ROM:s. This is indeed confusing.

Should i flash the boot.img of the ROM and then a recovery? If so which recovery? As i understand all the recoveries are for stock kernel but the kernel for these custom ROM:s could not be stock right? I'm a bit confused here really

Excuse my bad spelling and such, english is not my main language.

Thank ChimPilot for the quick reply! :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] ChimPilot:
Go to Google Play Store and download: Superuser, X-parts and ROM manager. Those are must haves if you are playing with ROMs.

You are in better shape if you can access the bootloader because I cannot, so I am considering to reflash everything and that would be my weekend project.

The problem I have is corrupt path to root and so Sony's PC companion spit me out, Sony's SUS does not go through and my last try would be Emma but it requires unlocked bootloader which is corrupt in my case. If anyone would give me a hint which directon to follow, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Guys, how are you?

I've managed to do some search and came to the response for my first question, so as it seems for now we don't have a way to turn the i9505 to i9505G for it to behave like an original model bought from the Google Play Store, I'll just wait to see if a method to do that is figured out or developed.

Could you guys help me with my other questions?

Thanks a lot for your attention and patience!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
Thanks Audioboxer, do we have any news or can we expect to get a way to transform the S4 to the Google Play Edition?

Thanks a lot for the help.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
Guys I just made some search and found that some games you can actually lower the resolution, such as GTA: Vice City. Is that common on most games?

How are the graphics quality of a game played on non-native resolution?

If anyone could help me with those and the other questions, I'd be glad.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
Guys, would it be possible in any way for newer models of the Galaxy S4 to be fully transformed to the Google Play edition, if the current models gets a way to do that, or that's not likely to happen, due to the differences between those models?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
1. Technically the i9505 (International S4, LTE) and i9505G (Google Edition) share the same internals like Snapdragon 600 chipset, 2GB RAM etcetc so the software is

relatively

interchangeable. Not directly. However, i9505 does has good development support, and there exist many ROMs that are similar to the google edition software.

2. If you flash a rom such as CM10.1, there will be options to remap the physical keys. However, if you stay with the software that came with the i9505, then you cannot.

3. "Big" is really a relative term to your hand size. I have a 22cm hand span, which is just over 7 inches, or 10 keys on a piano. Coming from the S3, I find 1 hand operation entirely possible, but to reach the very top left corner I do have to do a small shift in gripping the phone. but otherwise it is quite easy to handle.

4. No. You will be shooting in the dark and left in the wilderness if you go for the Snapdragon 800 model. Software is NOT even relatively interchangeable with the Google Play edition, unlike the i9505.

5. The S4 is not that future proof if games are to be played at 1920x1080. However, most games downscale to resolutions like 1280x720 (720p) to gain better framerates. That being said, it should still hold its ground even when more powerful devices come out.

One note though, if you are tempted to use the google stuff anyway, why not just get the Google edition?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
First of all, thank you a lot for the answers!

You really covered everything I was unsure, and I really have to thank you for taking your time to help me.

I am indeed tempted to get the Google stuff, but the reason I am considering the purchase of the model i9505 only is because I live in Brazil, and we don't have the Google Play Edition available for us, unfortunately.

I got interested in getting the Galaxy S4 as the prices lowered considerably here, the Galaxy S4 seems to be an excellent smartphone, but I wanted to make sure every question I had was answered, as the price (or "investment") is really high.

Would you mind if I ask you one more question?

Regarding the game resolution, you know that in current notebook or desktop monitors, if we don't play in the monitor's native resolution (for example, playing at 1280x720 on a FullHD panel) we experience some loss in image quality compared to a game played at 1280x720 in a monitor that is 1280x720, because that's the panel native resolution.

That happens's too with smartphones, when the game is downscaled to a lower resolution than that of the smartphone? That downscale is automatic or we have an option to do that in game's menu?

Sorry for being a little bit confusing.

That's all, and I thank you again and a lot for your patience and consideration! :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
To be completely honest, I don't think 1280x720 resolution will really make image quality look too different on the S4. However, be aware that some games may not have the setting to change resolution, and some games may not even support that high resolution yet (but more will definitely come out).

I have a 13 inch notebook with 1920x1080 screen from 2010. It is fitted with a NVIDIA GT 330M (2010), which is only little more powerful than the HD Graphics 4000. Therefore gaming will really suck at 1920x1080.

However, with a screen that small for a notebook, I do not feel that I am losing too much when I play with 1280x720. Therefore, I can conclude that with a 5 inch phone the effect would be much less than the 13 inch notebook although you will be holding it closer.

Hope this helps ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
I think you're just right!

Actually, I only thought about the resolution and didn't realize that indeed with a smaller screen we shouldn't notice a loss in image quality, if any!

Thanks a lot for clarifying a lot of my questions regarding the Galaxy S4, really!

I wish the best to you and also everyone on this forum!

Cheers.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ezekiel86:
Hi, I have a good one that all of you could answer for me but first I would Like to say I Love the registration video. I would Love to shake your guys hands for that. Anyways I am going in details of this odd problem I am having.

First I have a HTC ONE, no GSM carrier because I live in a city that has many wifi hotspots and I am not going to why don't I have a GSM Carrier.

Second it is rooted, I am running clockwork mod 6.0, I have clockwork mod and rom manager and ROM toolbox pro. Busybox and SuperSU.

Now my problem is this, I can't get rid of the the damn AT&T Boot animation. I have tried to delete it in root explore, still would not disappear after I restart the device. I even tried to replace it with a different animation which I was intending of doing with a different animation but replacing the name with At&T boot animation. But still when I reset the device it would some how replace the whole damn zip file with the original one. I tried to install bootanimation.zip into system/media, the zip is there but it is not doing nothing. I tried to flash the zip in recovery and it failed. I tried Android commander, I delete it there, reset and still the same even using AC and renaming the file with another animation still the same. I am coming to understand that AT&T Zip is still locked onto my drive somewhere and I looked there isn't anything anywhere. I know the binaries will have nothing to do with this because that is a coded lines that ran tasks. So I don't even know why this is even happening, this is the first of seeing this. Also am thinking the partition of the drive may only be writable not re-writable but this can't be when I am able to delete the zip in the first place. But I can understand to a point because the other damn apps of att is still on my drive as well. So my question is this.

How do I get around this?

Is there a better tool for PC to write files onto the drive of the device?

Is there anything I have not done?

Is it that the drive not in re-writable format?

Is Att the Fing child from Hell?

Please let me know if you know anything, I am able to do everything else expect this.

Also if this is already been answered direct me to the forum because I looked and nothing helps other then installing the Animations.

Also if this is in the wrong forum direct it to the right one.

Thank You.

I'm trying to clear my caches because my battery is doing some funny stuff every since I got the tablet. Just constantly being used up, even over night it drops 25% when I'm not doing anything. I've only downloaded a few apps but it says "Android OS" is what's taking 50% of the battery.

So I get into Recovery by turning off the device, holding power + Vol. down and then I select Recovery mode.

But all I get is an image of the Android with it's belly open and it says "No command."

How do I get to where I can run everything?

Please help!

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] geckocavemen:
Is your bootloader unlocked and have you rooted the device yet? The only way I know how to clear the caches through recovery is by doing that first and installing a custom recovery like twrp. If you aren't rooted yet and don't want to root the device I would suggest doing a factory reset first and see if that helps. To do a factory reset go to settings --> backup & reset.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] sfhub:
You can do a factory reset like the previous poster mentioned.

If you want to get the stock recovery menu from the android fallen screen, press volUp.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] crystalstylez:
Here is your answer if you cannot get in to the os. The commands will not show up unless you do a two button combo. You can get in to stock recovery by doing the following.

When powered off

Hold power+vol down

When bootloader screen comes up

Use volume down to select recovery and then hit the power button

It will then go in to recovery but only show an android with exclamation point.

From here to see command you have to press power + the middle of the volume button (There is a middle button here) Saw the button in the teardown.

From here you can do a factory reset of the device also.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] jddunkley:
Yeah this didn't work. I know I got into recovery once without being rooted, but that was on a different device.

I did a factory reset so we'll see if that helps. But it isn't looking like it....

No apps downloaded, only on wifi, brightness is all the way down, turned off location services and the "Android OS" is still taking the battery. It's at 96% after an hour and a half of literally not using it at all...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lyall29:
When you get to the screen with the android and !, press and hold the power button and then press the vol up. No other combination will work. You can not press the buttons at the same time.
