[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] wase4711:
my wife has the note 10.1 tablet, which I find too big; we both had original Motorola Xooms, which were also 10 inch, and I thought was too bulky..The 8 inch tablet really hits the sweet spot, IMO..

problem is, if I get a 6.4 inch phone, and have an 8 inch tablet, are these devices too similiar too each other?

my tablet is a wifi model, but I make VOIP calls with it, and can text with it too; wifi is everywhere, and where it isnt, I just tether to my GN2, so connectivity is not an issue..

My wife is already warning me I am not getting the Sony, so, until someone is selling it here, and I can take her to a store and show her how cool it is, I have to control myself! She thought I was nuts getting a Note 1, then she wanted one; when I got a note 2, she said I was nuts again, but now she has one too, so there is definately a pattern here I can take advantage of!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Theres a big difference in screen area between 6.5" and 8" I actually wish the Ultra bezels were smaller and they had stuffed a 7" screen in there.

!! Seriously it would fit in almost the same footprint, just a couple of mm wider. The note 2 will be the superior device if you use the spen a lot for note taking etc. The Ultra note taking is nowhere near as good as on the Note 2 or Note 8, but its ok for infrequent use.

Me and the mrs both had note 2's. She smashed the screen on hers so I bought her a mega 6.3. Forward thinking so she could't moan about me buying the Ultra lol

is it possible to restart the Xperia SP with a keyboard shortcut ? Because if it gets stuck once , go for example, I no longer have to press a sharp object to the back button
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Everyone knows that the intensity of the notification LED is depended on the ambient light intensity, on a bright situation the LED glows at it's full brightness and in a dark situation it fades and much lower intense. I am rooted, is there any way I can change this behaviour and make the LED bright always, other than flashing a custom kernel. Light Manager did work for this on Note 2, but it's not working on S4, I mean the brightness part.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deian:
I didn't know the intensity can change depending on the light level. To my eyes it looks the same at any light level. I am sure Tasker can control this, I decided to control my LED with tasker because as powerful as Lightflow is, it's just not flexible enough, their selling point is the amount of apps and the ability to take over led, vibration, and sound... i want to control my led's colour, duration and intensity and only Tasker can achieve this tbh.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Thanks. Tasker never popped in mind. But as I have never used it, I have no idea how to use it. Could you please guide me, on the LED part only? How to achieve what you said?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
Hey there, I really have on problem with my N4 since I own it:

From time to time my battery drain just goes huge. For me it feels like that is everytime I go out and have my phone in my jeans pocket. So at some point I thought I would press the button to active the display all the time.. but thats not happening (according to GSAM Battery Monitor).

I had all 4.2.x stock ROMS + stock Kernel and also with Franco Kernel. I always had this problem from time to time.

Signal is there, there is no significant battery drain from any app. The % of each app is normal and I also dont use any app more than usually. I don't have new apps.. everything is like always. Still my battery goes from 100% to 0% withint ~ 6 hours (30 mins SOT).

Any ideas? My battery is at 47-50 Celsius, the cores go offline as they are supposed to. I tried reboots in between e.g. in case an app is bugging. But actually all apps are as usual :/

Thanks

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]: it also happens when the phone is on my table.. i just had it with 17% left on my table, didnt touch it.. after 30 mins it was off because the battery was empty. wtf ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huge Fandroid:
The biggest battery suckers are radios and the screen. I turn off wifi, GPS and BT whenever I'm not using them. Keep a short timeout for the screen.

Unfortunately, six hours doesn't sound too far off from normal if you've got things running. I'd go through an entire battery cycle watching a 2-hour 1080p movie. Overnight, my battery dropped about 15% while only bluetooth and GSM were on. The N4 isn't really known for good battery life :\
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
BT is off. In general my battery holds up one day without any problems. But sometimes it goes down within a few hours and I dont know why.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huge Fandroid:
Possibly a scheduled background service? Maybe Google Sync is pushing a whole bunch of data periodically?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
Hmm no not really. Also, it would happen every day or in some interval. Not just on random days?

besides that I dont use any syncing and also it would be shown in the GSAM Battery Monitor or general battery usage ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiD3991:
I dare not say I'm a professional in battery saving, but I did break the 8 hour SOT on N4(minimum brightness of course).

Let's see, I only use 2G, because I only need internet for Whatsapp, and I greenify every single other apps.

You might undervolted too much according to your signature. -200mv might reduce heat but consume 1.2-1.5x more battery than normal voltage, its hard to explain, but its the truth, try -150 then -100.

Since you're on Franco, reduce the vibration a little, as for scheduler, I personally prefer Deadline on 2048. Governor definitely interactive, and freqs at 1.2Ghz. Because personally I dare-say at 1.2 Ghz you can run most apps almost instantly.

Like the second post said, Off wifi, GPS and bluetooth. Under settings > location settings> one is GPS and another is google location, off both. And you might still even have NFC on? No idea in this.

Download an app called build.prop editor or kernel tuner.

Modify build.prop a little. Add in pm.sleep_mode=1 and change the value of wifi.supplicant_scan_interval to 600 or 900.

Disable auto brightness and fix to something you like but below 50% .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
I am not on -200 anymore.. -100 all the time ;)

i also use greenify for nearly all my apps.

GPS, BT is turned off, Wifi normally too (tasker is doing that, depening on GSM antenna reachable or not).

The other tips are really nice but should affect the battery drain THAT much ?

Thanks !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
As a little update:

It seems like this only happens at certain locations ?!

E.g. at work.. everything disabled (wifi, BT, gps, etc) .. even Tasker is disabled incase it was bugging -> about 10% for 30 minutes.

I have full connection bar to my carrier.. what the hell is that ? Battery temps are normal, same apps running as I had running when I was at home. I don't even use the phone but as soon as I get to work and my phone gets a carrier signal, the battery graph shows a rapid drop.

19:34 - 61%

20:03 - 54%

20:20 - 48%

20:54 - 38%

21:20 - 31%

Battery sitting at 37 Celsius... why.. why why ? :S
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Utini:
Alright now I know when my battery is crashing:

as soon as I turn off and I connect to my carrier. but why? Normally it should be exactly the other way. When WiFi is on and connect, the battery drain should become higher.

But as soon as I leave a WiFi, my phone gets hot and looses A LOT of battery very quickly.

Any ideas ? I have full signal.. but in any case.. I have the same signal as I also when while connected to Wifi.

e.g. at home with wifi - good battery life. but as soon as I turn the wifi off -> battery loss !

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where every time I open google maps, the phone freezes up and I'm forced to do a battery pull. Does this happen to everyone using this phone or is it just me?

Thanks a bunch.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Maps was removed from the phones custom romsbbecause of this issue I don't believe anyone has fixed it

Unfortunatly, you may need a different "maps" app from the store

And if you are rooted you should get /system/app an remove all un used applications saves space an runs a bit faster
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] magnoidgoat:
Thanks. Do you know which app comes closest to the google one? It's a shame it doesn't work, it's a great app.

I'm actually not rooted as I don't have a PC and can't figure out how to root with a mac, or if it's even possible.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
First, I know all of this is mentioned in various areas of the forum. All I am doing is putting the process for using Xposed in one place.

This process definitely works on rooted ME7 Stock or Custom ROM's.

Requirements to do what I am showing below:

Rooted

XposedInstaller - Link

XQuickSettingsToggles - Link

XThemeEngine_beta5 - Link

GunmetalCobalt and other themes - Link

Wanam xPosed for mods like hiding battery - Link

1 and 2 are mandatory.

3 is required for the quick settings themes

4 is required to install themes such as 5. Gunmetal Cobalt which I uses as a base

6 if you want a wide variety of tweaks like colors of icons, hide battery, etc.

XposedInstaller

So, to get started you must first install XposedInstaller so follow these instructions or the ones on that thread.

Download and install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager

Reboot

Open Xposedinstaller and tap install/update to install the framework

Reboot

XThemeEngine:

Install apk just like any other application with your favorite file manager

Open xposedinstaller from applications and go to modules and enable xThemeEngine

Reboot

Install the theme of your choice. I used Gunmetal Cobalt

Install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager

Open xThemeEngine from applications

Choose theme

Apply theme

Reboot when prompted

If it does not look right do a full reboot

If signal bars don't theme use Wanam and change signal bars to 4

Optional: XQuickSettingsToggles

Download and install apk like any other application with your favorite file manager

Reboot

Open xposedinstaller from applications and go to modules and enable XQuickSettingsToggles in modules

Reboot

Go into XQuicksettingsToggles and choose a theme. I like Kalagas.

Optional: The clock is HD Widgets from market

NOTE1: If you don't get network immediately on boot then it is probably Wanam (???) so either wait or just reboot immediately.

NOTE2: Also best to use the power button reboot rather than the one in each app.

Enjoy

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Snuck over here a couple of weeks ago but just lurking

Getting my feet wet tinkering with this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
So installed the XTheme and the XQuick settings .. Quick settings appeared to work fine, but no matter what I did I couldn't get the theme to apply entirely to the status bar (Cobaltx). How did you get it to theme the whole thing? Did it just work for you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Post a screenshot so I can see what's missing

I used Wanam to change some options on the statusbar like hiding the battery icon which can make a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
I'll try a reinstall and see what I get. It was the battery icon, signal bars, and wifi bars that didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
You may also need Wanam to change signal bars to 4 with cobalt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
I tried this per the OP and GunMetalCobalt theme and it sorta made my Gmail and new messages titles un-distinguished and hard to decipher.

Also, the quick Settings tweak (assuming that's how you get the colors, ect... at the top of the notifications Pulldown, did nothing for me. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
I don't use g-mail so I didn't notice

You need to go into xQuicksettingsToggles app and pick the theme you like. I am using Kalagas
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Here's an example, I switched to plain Cobalt but it's doing the same thing:

Also I tried xQuicksettings Toggles with setting theme as Kalagas but doesn't seem to change anything in the dropdown. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
I would post in the Cobalt thread that there is a problem with the G-Mail theming.

Did you select enable at the top of thexQuicksettings setup screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
Well as soon as I root this thing I will give this a try.

Im a theme junky for sure ;)

Thanks for the step by step
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] frc3260:
I'm having an issue with the XTheme Engine where it only seems to be theming Icons. I downloaded a theme called Chromium from one of the theme threads here and the screenshot shows it theming almost the entire UI (Settings, Notification Panel, etc.) but I can not seem to get any of those changes to take effect by re-applying/rebooting etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Not all themes are going to work correctly unless the are specifically ported for TW and even then not all will work.

The Cobalt series seem to work best for me anyway when I also use Wanam
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] frc3260:
It was found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2251952 which seems to provide only XTheme Engine themes.

Edit: I tried "Cobalt Gunmetal" from the first post with the same results. It themes a few of the status bar icons and some portions of the notification center and that is it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Did you install Wanam and change the signals to 4. That will at least add the signal bars

Which others are not themed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
Sorry for off topic, but did your replacement s4 end up coming with mdk or me7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
My luck it was ME7. Gonna wait and try again

On the other hand I don't like to abuse exchanges and with the arrival of safestrap it may be good enough to move forward.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Evocm7:
That's a bummer. At least hashcode is making good progress
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
Got SS up and running with a custom rom. Time to start building my rom

Not going to bother exchanging again will just pray for a real unlocked boot loader. At least now I can start testing Business Wiz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
SWEET,

I will be rooted this weekend, cant wait to run the Business Wiz ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hitch_Itch:
I feel complete again. After being on rooted phones for 4 years and then 2 weeks on a non rooted bloated phone I was going crazy but did not have time to root.

Now that Im rooted I feel at home again.

Im so enjoying the themes.

Thank God for great Dev's :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GK_usa:
Anyone able to successfully remove anything related to wifi status in the ongoing section of the drop down menu?

I still see "connected to blah" even though I thought I disabled it using wanam.

Also, how do I make my drop down status bar transparent. Which option is it in wanam?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuusjr:
When I bought my Galaxy S 1, I had the intention of using this for a long time. Now, it's actually three years old, and I am struggling keeping it fast.

For a long time, I made sure I ran the most recent firmware. But somehow, it kept getting slower. So I thought it was because the new firmwares were increasingly more bloated, so I went back to 2.3, and stuck with that for a long time untill I started having too low API issues.

So I decided to give the latest Cyanogenmod a try again. And to my surprice, it was blazing fast!

Untill I installed the google apps, which is quite essential. But then, we are back to the old behaviour, with several seconds for opening / swithing certain apps.

My take on this is just that the phone doesn't have enough memory available to keep all the apps in memory, and therefore has to swap far too much.

So how would I maximize the usable life time? I don't want to go back to an old android as I would get the API issues, and the new google apps are too memoryintensive.

And I really, really don't want to get a new phone, because I think a phone should last more than three years, especially when it's only a software issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] käsebr0t:
Make sure you deactivated google now.

Try the app Greenify. It can force apps to sleep and only wake up when you need them. It's extremely useful for apps like Facebook which needs a lot of ram and keeps the cpu awake.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fizzefazze:
I'm quite happy with slim-ICS. It's based on CM, but stripped of any excess stuff, and it uses a different kernel. There is also a jellybean version for the i9000, but that's got a few issues. So I'd stick with slim-ics if I were you.
