I have the TOMTOM BT

I have no problems with my XDAIIs .... but i also dont use a BT headset ! i just use speakerphone !

I love the BT, i can take it from car to car and mountain bike ;)

I have the xda charging on a usb car lighter socket and 1 charge of the gps lasts 4 hours - enough for my journeys ... but a car charger for this is only 6quid anyway and i can mount it in the boot!

i agree the BT is crap on this device, but i hope a rom will fix it.

I'm using a Holux GPS cradle with an Orange SPV M2000. Has some issues when you first buy it but if you look for my input on the thread you'll see how I got around it and I now use it daily in my own car and also hire cars without issue. Wouldn't say i'd recommend it wholeheartedly but if the advantages are suitable for you and you're prepared to mod it a bit it might work for you. http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modul...opic&t=13307&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I'm running into thissue on linux ,with the latest version of fastboot., do you have any other ideas?
[Motorola Atrix HD] mauchito:
I had this issue before, but I can't remember how I fixed it... Maybe the fastboot.exe wasn't working good. You should try on a Windows computer. Install all the drivers, try with RSD, if it doesn't work, try manually with fastboot. If it doesn't work, maybe try with Myth Tools.

Can you install a custom recovery?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] telas:
Hello, i have my htc one a couple of weeks now and from the first time i noticed paranormal battery drain activity!

So first i tried to turn everything off it didn't help, more analyticaly:

Energy Saving Mode = On

Beats Audio = on

Brightness = 1st of the three brightness modes

Wifi = off

GPS = off

Location Services = off

Accounts Sync = all off

HSDPA = on and off after done using data

Apps running in the background = i closed each and every one immediately after done using them

Blinkfeed = completely off

Then I tried to reset battery memory by completely let the battery discharge and recharge overnight twice, i have seen no improvement.

When i surf or facebook i can see the battery meter to drop down 1% almost every 2 minutes or so, some times less with the above mentioned settings.

Also i have noticed that in standby with everything off there's still significant battery drainage.

I kept the best for last, just 10 minutes ago while connected on my computer via usb cable, fully charged at 100% with green led on top for more than an hour i just did a reboot, and after the reboot with the usb cable still connected i saw the battery 99% ?????? After what, a reboot and still connected to the usb and charging ? WTF?

Device info:

HTC one 32 gb bought from Vodafone Greece

android version 4.2.2 stock

software version 2.24.401.1

kernel version 3.4.10-g445d072

On top of that, it seems that my device also has the blue ghosting noise camera bug on low light enviroments.

My emotions are like; I love and hate this phone at the same time.

I'm afraid using my phone's capabilities due to serious battery drainage!!

Any thoughts ?

Try this app to see if you have an app installed that is draining your battery.

My first One had a bad battery - would only last for half a day.. the phone I have now lasts a day or more.

With stock? Holy Damn that's crazy! I get 2.5 on a regular day. 3 with continuous use. Should I do a factory reset?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:
I get 5+ hours screen time but not if it's a day full of voice calls.. all based on how you use the phone!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cuyo11:
it depends on how you use your phone and how much time it has been turned on. If your phone has been on for more than 24 hours then 3 hours of screen is fine. But yeah maybe you should do a factory reset and install gsam to monitor your battery stats and the apps that are sucking your battery. I have noticed that facebook chat drains the battery too fast.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godutch:
I think you live in a sunny place, if you do than 2.5 hours is sort of normal at full brightness, if you want 5 or longer you need to set the brightness way lower but I think that sort of dimishes the beauty of the screen, enjoy it on auto-brightness
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sauprankul:
What nonsense?!

70% of my screen time is medium. I rarely use my phone in the sun.

I usually get around 2.5 screen/<14 total hrs. That's not normal? My phone's not set up right? Yay!

Or maybe it's the facebook. My auto sync is off, but I will disable the FB apps and see how that goes.

I actually do have GSAM, and it tells me that my kernel uses ~25% of my power. Android system is usually ~15%. Is that normal? If so, I may try a backup/reset.

Screen uses ~10% of power and main app is Chrome, with little to no Maps/Voice in a day.

Weird, and I was shocked to see this when I red a lot of people were having fantastic battery life.

Also, as I'm so lucky, mine has the blue/red thing in the camera, and a small gap in the top. It seems I got the All-(Problems)-In-One One..

Try with InsertCoin + Elemental kernel, with no pocketdetection or sweep2wake etc. and the recommended undervolting in the aroma installation

hello again I noticed a rather peculiar thing regarding battery drainage.

couple of days ago when I reported that my battery was somewhat normal I had my phone charged with energy saving mode off I charged this way two times since the factory reset. Everything was normal I was able to get one+ day of use. Yesterday though I charged my phone with energy saving mode ON and I immediately noticed abnormal battery drain as before.

Can anyone with battery drain problem try to fully charge their phone with energy saving mode off and post their results?

I have a strong feeling that there is a bug or something.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReBorn1983:
My problem is, the phone is fully charged. i disconnect the charger and a few seconds later the battery is between 96% and 93%. I connect it to the charger, charge it back to 100% (led green) disconnect it, and the same happens again.

I already let the Phone discharge to 1%. The same happening again.

Someone any idea? thx

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circlesnpigs:
Hi!

I just rooted my Samsung GT-I9505 a few weeks ago with Odin v3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5.

Note that I didn't install any custom ROM.

It worked fine until now.

When I turned my phone off, it got stuck in reboot. The screen is black with a "Android OS is upgrading.. Opening all applications."

It's been 30mins and it just stayed there so I decided to take the battery off, put it back in and turn myphone on.

Now it's just stuck with the samsung logo. And whenever I factory reset and reset cache it, it just get stuck with a black screen with a "Android OS is upgrading.. Opening all applications."

Did I just bricked my phone? Is there any way to fix this? :(

Any help would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HS™:
Your device is not bricked so don't worry

1,

U flash philz recovery and do wipe cache / dalvik / fix permission and if req also reset the device it should reboot just fine

2,

Incase this does not wrk flash a pre rooted firmware from android development by djembey and reboot try with wipe cache after u flash and incase get stuck here also
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circlesnpigs:
:laugh: Thank you! Wow! That's a relief! I thought I'm going to have an expensive paperweight.

Anyways, tried option number 1 and Flashed philz_touch_5.10.0-i9505.tar.md5. All went well until the reboot and it got stuck into the samsung logo. So I removed the battery, put it back on and tried to go to recovery settings (VOL UP + HOME + POWER) but then it continued to reboot and stopped at the samsung logo.

Note that earlier, before I flashed philz.. I can still go to the recovery settings.

Will now try the second option. Just another question though. By pre-rooted firmware, do you mean a Pre-Rooted ROM or the original stock rom? Seen them here --->

Moto X Kit By DroidScoop.net

This kit is a compilation of .apk files and wallpapers that will make your device function similar to the features found on the Moto X. We do not own the rights to any of these .apk's or wallpapers

Whats included:

Active Notifications .apk

Moto X Camera .apk

Moto X Gallery .apk

Twisty Launcher .apk

Sun Beam Live Wallpaper .apk

Moto X Wallpapers

Your device does not need to be rooted to use the following kit, but running an AOSP ROM provides a more intuitive interface.

Keep in mind the Moto X Camera as well as the gallery will not work on all devices. Most of the newer Motorola devices are compatible as well as many of the Samsung Galaxy phones. If issues arise use titanium backup to freeze the stock camera .apk

Also...

Active Notifications and twisty launcher must be configured to work as desired.

Download found at this Dev Host URL: d-h.st/FD1

Do Not Flash From Recovery

To install unzip the file and manually download the .apk files

If you like our Kit visit our website at Droidscoop.net we're small but growing. Support us for more great content!!!
[Moto X General] infinit22:
Is this meant to be flashed or unzipped an installed individually?
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
Unzipped and individually installed I apologize for not specifying that. The zip file I initially prepared was going to be an add on that could be flashed through a recovery, but I was getting too many errors and force closes. Also this allows for more devices to become compatible. Rooted or not.
[Moto X General] mattpayne92:
I'm getting a parsing error trying to install the active notifications apk on my gs4. Im running a custom rom on 4.2.2

Edit: I'm pretty sure it's because active notifications only works on 4.3 phones. I remember this app came out not too long ago and you needed to have 4.3
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
I'm running illusion ROM 4.2.2 on a GS3 and I have yet to have an issue. I also have successfully used active notifications on a Nexus 4 on 4.3 as well as a HTC droid incredible on Gingerbread.

Try downloading the APK directly from the Play Store if the file is not working.
[Moto X General] mattpayne92:
I think the apk in the zip file may be an older version of the active notifications app. I downloaded from the playstote when I learned it now works with 4.0+ and it works fine now. I just wanted some way to have active notifications
[Moto X General] nviz22:
Can anyone confirm the quality of this X Kit on the Note II?
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
Hey if you guys could leave some feedback or suggestions we'd appreciate it. We have a lot planned and this is only a stepping stone so please support us we need the motivation!

Follow us on twitter were doing giveaways and more! [MENTION=3468843]Thedroids[/MENTION]coop
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
The kit is simply a pack of .apk files which should work fine with most devices. We have already tested these on our T-mobile Note II running an AOSP ROM. Please let me know if any issues arise as we will promptly configure a fix.
[Moto X General] nviz22:
I got a parsing error for the apk download for Active Notifications. Does this require me to download the app from the Play Store? I did that before hand, but I deleted it and tried to install the apk and said parsing still.
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
Try downloading the .apk from the Playstore and let me know how that works; Also what type of device are you using and what OS version. I have gotten this to work on a couple of rooted devices on ICS and Gingerbread but I have noticed that many devices not running 4.0+ are running into problems.
[Moto X General] nviz22:
Dynamic Notifications works in the same concept, but it shows a stock android style icon for gmail and texts. I am using a Note II with stock 4.1.2 TW.
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
We just flashed stock TW on our Note II and we're getting the same error. So the only fix I'm seeing for this device is to flash an AOSP based ROM
[Moto X General] nviz22:
Yeah, I think I am not really willing to root my device at this time. Thanks for the help though. If you find a fix besides the AOSP ROM of my choice, let me know via private message. Thanks, but outside of the Active Notifications, I enjoyed the wallpapers. I hope the Motorola apps will work on all devices.
[Moto X General] X0LARIUM:
WhaT'S Twisty Launcher? I am looking for Moto X's stock Launcher..is this it?
[Moto X General] DroidScoop:
My apologies for the delay,

The twisty launcher .apk is the only working method to simulate the Moto X's Quick capture camera. I have yet to find a device that supports this native feature other than the Moto X itself.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arshull:
I'm pretty disappointed with the Tab 3. Seems very slow/laggy. In addition, there is zero development on XDA for the tab 3. I know this just came out in the US, but it has been out for months worldwide. I've had this tablet for a couple weeks, so it's not just a first impression at this point.....

Currently, very unstable root and recovery. No custom roms. No way to install scripts/intd.

I've had a Galaxy 3 phone for about a year and love it. My phone runs circles around the Tab 3 in terms of responsiveness, processing......pretty much everything actually.

Am I getting a unique experience with my Tab or is everyone noticing the slow, dragging, instability of this tab? Size and screen are great, but do not outweigh the performance issues in my book.

Anyone else returned/exchanged their Tab 3? If so, what did you return it for? Thinking about going w/ the new Nexus 7, but there are a lot of options out there....please help!!!!!!

Weird. I had the nexus 7 2, the note 8, and now the tab 3 8. I don't think the tab is slow at all. Granted I don't play games, but overall I think its quite responsive and solid all around.

Did it get slower over time? What are you doing when it lags? Did you install a ton of weird stuff?
