[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
I did a factory reset on my phone, but had to wait a little bit because I also had to add some adhesive to my screen because it was going up (I had a screen replacement a few months ago and I believe the climate change due to my move from Ohio to California affected it). This morning I woke up and my phone said almost full battery, then the screen went black and it was dead. Plugged it in and turned it on and it was at 1% charge.

So I will try to flash stock and see what happens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
Flashed back to stock 4.3 and unrooted using the toolkit. Phone showed 98% battery. Played a YouTube video at full brightness off an on for three or four hours, it only dropped four percent. Eventually, it got down to about 80 percent, then my phone froze and died. Plugged it back in, powered it back on, and the battery is showing zero percent.

I don't know what to do at this point. Please help. Should I go back to 4.2? This didn't start happening until 4.3. Will Google replace my phone if I've used a third party to replace my screen? (the back of the device had a crack in it when the touch screen went out and Google refused to take it due to the crack .. on the back ... that was there when I got my phone)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
Would love some help on this, if any. Flashed back to stock 4.3, as stated before, and the issue persists. My phone was showing 74% battery and it randomly died when I went to unlock it. It would not power back on until I plugged it in (It did the Google logo, then Nexus logo, then died). When I plugged it in and turned it on, it said 27%. So I don't know what to do at this point. Flash 4.2? Flash a ROM? Change the kernel? I don't know how to do the kernel stuff and I would need some guidance on flashing the rom.

Google wouldn't take my phone for RMA since the screen has been replaced, right? Please advise.

EDIT: It is worth noting that I did get an OTA update from Google today that said it was upgrading me to 4.3 Jelly Bean and mentioned the Keep note-taking app, despite that I checked before updating and I was already on 4.3. But I installed it anyway and this happened (though it did it still before, just not such drastic and off percentages)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *system error*:
Are you getting "red light" at all?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
When is the phone supposed to make a red light? I don't believe I have ever seen it. I have read some battery issues with the Nexus 4 where people talk about their phone being totally unresponsive and unavailable to turn on -- that has never occurred with me. Plugging it into the wall always brings it back on. It's like actual battery dying. It's just dying way before it says it's going to and it's making it difficult to gauge how long I'm actually getting.

I did just say screw it, flashed TWRP, put a Rom on and a new kernel just to see what happens. This was like 20 minutes ago. It did seem to charge up really fast after I did that, which might mean the battery is still reporting wrong, though :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
And now I'm pretty certain that the new rom and kernel didn't do anything. Because it charged up super fast and now despite having bluetooth, GPS, and a YouTube video running at full brightness for 45 minutes, it's only dropped 2%, meaning it's definitely reading it wrong. This is so frustrating.

EDIT: Had it go for another ten minutes, picked up my phone and hit the menu button to stop the video, and it died. Now I turned it back on while plugged in and it says 3% - Full for the battery...

EDIT 2: It just went from 3% to 36%. Like there was no middle ground, I actually watched it change from 3% to 36%. And just watched it go from 36% to 40%.

Thank you so much to everyone who has posted thus far and here's to hoping ya'll can help me some more.

How old is your phone? These seem to me to be telltale signs of a bad battery. From what I know about the N4, the battery can be purchased and replaced manually.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *system error*:
Mine was jumping like yours except 100 to 30 range and shut off. What I did was opened the phone unscrewed the battery and connected it back. I left the screws out. Took about three days of doing this until I

Found the sweet spot the connector liked. I would plug it in(battery) and push on the ribbon cable towards the connector in the gap between the battery and the housing. I'm going on two weeks now without the spikes. I also (placebo) deleted battery stats a couple of times for s's and giggles. Seeing as how I was never hitting 100% only 99%

I got this phone for next to nothing and had a hell of a time getting it functional. Mic not working red light and battery spikes.

After all the workarounds I'm loving it. Well minus the downgrade of LTE.... I'm on att, but I can live with that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
I'm not sure how comfortable I am opening the phone. Are there any guides to this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *system error*:
Very simple. Google "nexus 4 teardown". I used a light gauge guitar pick instead of the pry tool. I noticed if you do the power button corner last its a lot easier getting the back off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjames:
Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I went ahead and bought a new battery since they were cheap. Can anyone advise as to what the best practices are with this new battery out of the box?

I mean, do I put it in, charge it all the way, then turn it on? Do I put it in, let it discharge, turn it off ... or anything wiping battery stats? As detailed as you can, please. Thanks.

[One (M7) Accessories] corani:
When I bought my One, I got the HTC Mini with it for free (HTC BL R100, see attachment)

For those who haven't heard of it, it's a Bluetooth companion "phone" that's sold in China as an accessory for the Butterfly. I tried it with the stock ROM and it worked just fine. However, now that I've flashed Cyanogenmod 10.2 it only works as a headset. All the advanced functions (dial numbers, access call list, access messages, etc) have disappeared. This is the same as on other phones (I checked Lumia 820 and SGS4)

I'm assuming HTC phones come with some pre-installed driver for the Mini, but I can't find any information about this.

Does anyone know how I could get my hands on this driver, and how I get it in my CM ROM? I'm hoping there's some APK that could be ripped out of the stock ROM.
[One (M7) Accessories] archacha:
Download the stock rom, and search for it in there. Or you could try installing the stock (or a stock based) rom, connect to the htc mini, do some stuff on it, that are not available in CM, and then pull the log file off the device and check what things were used when you used the mini.
[One (M7) Accessories] Crysis2:
great idea.

maybe you should try the MIUI rom it is based on sense.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hello!

I wanted to know if it is possible to copy my modified host file into /etc/hosts to block ads on web pages.

I want to block some sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google because I don't use them.

I think it should work without any probolems.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I have tested it myself and it works great!

I have tried it with an ad blocking host file and browsing with that is a lot quicker and might save a lot of mobile data.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muppen:
Do this at your own risk.

It has worked for me, make sure it's correct before trying it (i.e. check another source regarding correctness of syntax).

In terminal:

sudo mount -o remount,rw /

Make a backup of the hosts file (optional but very much recommended, chose destination as you please but make sure to keep it):

sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.bak

Edit the file:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

(or export the original file, edit it on a computer and replace the original, that's what I did)

Keep the defaults and add the blocking stuff after that.

Then reboot and the system will be read only again as you haven't changed fstab.

Be careful though, be very restrictive regarding what you change when / is rw, I believe this is safe (I'm willing to take the risk because I cannot tolerate adds).

I edited my hosts-file in August and until now I've had no problems with ota:s.

I haven't updated the list since then, the list was quite big to begin with and it still works very well.

The blocking also survives factory reset which is nice.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] siddharthkaushik:
Hello All,

I have recently upgraded my ROM from 1.31 to 1.40. While almost all the softwares I reinstalled gave me no problems, but MS Voice Command 1.0 just refuses to install properly.

It reports a non-recoverable error while writing uninstall information. But ironically it works fine. While uninstalling, it does, but reports the same error. This does not let the Voice Command 1.5 upgrade to work properly. As soon as the 1.5 upgrade is launched on the PC, it reports an error saying that Voice Command 1.0 should be installed on the PC, but uninstalled from the device. Which is exactly what I have done.

Any of you faced similar problems? And if you did what is the resolution?

Thanks,

Siddharth
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] speedyr6:
I had a problem with the 1.40 and voice command as well, I don't recall exactly how I worked around it but it required installing and uninstalling in a wierd order.

I know I had to play with it for a while, I think this is how I ended up getting it to work for me:

1. install 1.0 to the desktop

2. upgraded to 1.5 on the desktop without installing to the device

3. then I hooked the device into the cradle and let it install.

However when I had to update for a friend's device:

1. install 1.0 to desktop

2. put the device in the cradle and let it install incorrectly

3. on the device, uninstall, ignore errors...don't put back into cradle yet

4. upgrade to 1.5 on the desktop

5. put the device in the cradle and let it download 1.5

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Charles Brennan:
Not a Dev, but not a Noob, either. Formerly had a SGH-i897 Galaxy S for 3 years and flashed like crazy on it, while transitioning from Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread to ICS to Jellybean, mostly using the fine offerings from the AOCP Collective folks. While familiar with Odin, CWM was my usual go-to utility.

Upgraded recently to a SGH-i337 Galaxy S4. Must have owned it for two, maybe three hours, before I rooted it with MotoChopper. :D This allowed me to re-install Titanium Backup. I left it as merely rooted, while I read up on CWM and some new-fangled thing called TWRP, which I wanted to get installed before casting about for a new ROM. (At the time, AOCP did not have an offering here, or it would have been a no-brainer for me.) :)

One morning, I turned on the phone and noticed it was doing an OTA update. . . . . . . . . :confused:

Mildly curious, I logged onto XDA to read what the community thought about the update, only to discover that I had missed all the dire warnings by a day and my (now) version I337UCUAMF3 ROM had it's boot-loaders locked from a blown Q-Fuse, courtesy of Samsung and AT&T. :mad:

Took me a week before I found the rooting solution from jortex, but thankfully, I'm now rooted again.

This background now leads to my questions:

I have ROM Manager Premium (from previous purchase) but have not installed it.

I was aware on my previous SGH-i897 that mixing the Gingerbread and Jellybean boot loaders was like, a Bad Thing when flashing ROMs and would promptly brick the phone.

Does CWM require the ability to load from a boot loader?

I know it creates an update.zip file to restore the original ROM, and usually does so by using whatever ROM is installed at the time.

So wouldn't it just create an update based on the I337UCUAMF3 ROM?

Even if I can't flash new ROMs (unless or until somebody comes up with a Q-Fuse Fix) couldn't I at least have all the recovery and .zip flashing of apps and cache clearing menu choices available to me from CWM?

Or would the act of just installing CWM on a I337UCUAMF3 ROM immediately brick my phone?

In Other Words, how close can I dance to the water's edge? :p

Been to the ROM Manager web site and they claim I can do any thing at any time.

(Easy for them to say: It ain't THEIR phones!)

Been searching these threads and can't come up with anything explicitly stating yea or nay.

So far, I have been happy enough with the TW stock ROM, but I always felt better being able to boot to recovery to fix things, on those few occasions I got just a leeeeeetle too close to the Bleeding Edge! :o

What is the consensus out there?

Will CWM 6.0.3.6 bork a I337UCUAMF3? Yes or no?

Would appreciate any thoughts that might enlighten me! :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
It sure could brick the phone, the only thing you can do at the moment is root. I have seen a couple people try running a recovery on it, and it required a jtag service to restore the device.

Be careful.

First I have to say that I used titanium before and it always worked out well.

I have created a zip file that I flash every time I flash a ROM but today I flashed PA on my nexus 4 , flashed the gapps and the zip file that I created with titanium.

I have the pro version and when I went to restore the missing apps and data it stucked there forever so I closed titanium , tried again and same thing.

Basically it's junk use it on WIFI or be just as dishonest as the person who sold it to you. Or be honest & maybe someone will but it to use on WIFI. But blacklisted it's a brick. No amount of flashing or roms can change an imei. It still does everything the phone can do, but it will never have cellular service.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Hesster:
I feel for you, man. I got my One just a few days ago and seriously considered buying secondhand because I wanted to buy the phone outright and used phones run a couple hundred less. Ultimately I decided there was too much risk and it was worth the peace of mind to buy a new phone directly from TMO. You can't even trust buying a sealed phone still in the package from a third party, since people can steal them in transit or from the store and when the store does inventory and finds the phone missing it goes dead.

Contacting the police and filing a police report is about all you can do. Depending on how stupid the seller was, how much information you got and how motivated the cops are to follow up on your case, you may get your money back. As for the phone, it will not work on any of the US carriers or their MVNOs. About the only option is selling it on eBay to someone overseas. You can sell them on eBay as long as you disclose it has a bad IMEI.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] cristian.daniel23:

He isn't saying they work, he's saying that he should do to others the same thing that happened to him..
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Alexrt890:
No, don't sell it on ebay. When selling it on ebay you have to wait at least 2 or 3 days for the buyer to confirm whether or not the phone is working or not under some circumstances. The buyer can easily file a complaint using the resolution center thus resulting in the money that the buyer gave to you being locked until the problem is resolved. It's best to do it through craigslist since ebay and paypal have all those fees anyways.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Hesster:
I live in the US, so I've never tested it myself but I've heard from others on this board and elsewhere they bought bad IMEI phones for use in foreign countries and the phones worked. There is actually a huge international black market in stolen phones run by organized crime just for that purpose.

Uh, no. That's not what I'm saying at all. I am absolutely against selling a phone and not disclosing it has a bad IMEI. For some users, bad IMEIs don't matter. They either don't apply in the person's country, or the buyer is equipped to swap the motherboard with one from a damaged phone with a good IMEI. Those are the people you want to sell to.
