[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jeffreii:
I'm not sure why you think you need to freeze after rooting...like rooting is going to cause the OTA! If I had a phone that was vulnerable to MF3 OTA I'd pull out the SIM card and turn off wifi so it had no way to download anything...IMMEDIATELY! Before I even turned it on!

I'd then root it with motochopper and sideload Titanium Backup to freeze the files before allowing any data connections.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Agent:
You can use Root Uninstaller to freeze 2 apps that have to do with OTA. It's free.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] celkin:
Im confused, are the American carriers pushing the OTA to devices without the authorization from the user?

When I first got this device (while i was reading and getting myself up to speed on the rooting process) the OTA notification would pop up, i would select postpone for 4 hours and do the same when the next notification popped. To be safe would power down at night...

Did that for 2-3 days with no issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Yes. We have 72 hours after the first decline to hit the cancel button. After the 3 days, it automatically downloads and updates itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] celkin:
Mother f@$?#@'s... Thats mad sneeky. Guess its a good thing i got the reading in quick. Although im pretty sure roots good to go on mf3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Mine shipped with MDL right from AT&T. All I did when I got it was take out the SIM before I first powered on the phone. Set up the device, wifi, Google account etc, Then I rooted, and installed TWRP to make a full backup. Then I installed SHOStock.

If one plans to install a custom ROM, there is no need to freeze the OTA apps. Only freeze them if you plan on staying stock with root. Root is available on MF3 but is not recommended. If you screw up, you're screwed yourself as there is currently no way to recover.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] thecross:
My old Nokia 2260 had a field test mode which would display information regarding the current connection to the tower, signal strength in dBm, etc... It was pretty useful for finding the perfect spot in my room where I would get the highest signal strength (I live out in the sticks) I searched for an equivalent keystroke which would enable such a mode in the BA but I was not successful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormer:
The app Clean Master claims it can extend battery life and device performance by killing apps--even offering a button to kill all apps. I thought killing apps was unnecessary since Android does this automatically when RAM is full and that killing apps manually actually drains battery life. What's the deal? Is swiping an app away from the Recent Apps List the same as killing an app? I currently do this often because the list is usually packed.

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscuresword:
Clean Master actually does increase performance of your device, especially and lower end ones that have 512mb of ram to work with. However, this also decreases battery life by very little. Android does kill task automatically however as you said it waits until the memory is full which leads to a lot of lag and sluggishness. Swiping an app from the recent apps I believe does kill it. Personally instead of swiping my ROM supports "hardware back to kill" in which I hold down my back button to kill the app. It seemed to do a much better job than swiping.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindstormer:
So Clean Master does "decrease battery life by very little" and the claim that it saves battery life through killing apps is incorrect? This is at the expense of increased performance only if RAM is full, too. It seems that the term "killing apps" is very misleading even for Android users as it actually uses more battery life to kill the apps rather than leave them alone (because they use little to no resources in the background). If this is truly the case, then I guess I shouldn't worry too much about killing apps until my RAM is full and I experience lag. Still, I find it kind of surprising that such a highly rated and popular app claims one thing and does the other.

On a semi-unrelated note, is there some mod I can install on top of a ROM I'm using that lets me kill an app or display the Recent Apps List by long-pressing menu/back button? Or must I install a ROM that has this built-in feature?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscuresword:
Any task killing app such as auto memory manager, clean master, and so on decreases battery life, because it always using background resources. However, you most likely will never notice the difference in battery life lost since it is so negligible. I'm honestly not sure. I did a little bit of research and it usually pointed to that this function had to be in the framrwork of the rom. So my guess is you'd either have to modify the existing framework of a stock rom or just download a rom like Cyangonmod.

[HTC One X] Silthrax:
I have a huge problem, basically I was sick and tired of my black housing for the phone, so I ordered the white one from ebay. I was so happy it came that I forgot to shut down the phone, well during half way of the work, while I was trying to pry it open I remembered and turned it on and it worked I opened it a bit more open and it suddenly went black and since then everything is working except the LCD.

I have no idea whats the problem is the LCD broke or what?

Also when it shut down and me trying to reconnect the LCD flat cable to see if thats the problem I was nervous and did that which you see in the picture. Now my issue is what if I buy a new screen connect it and it doesn't work because the FPC connector?
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
The connection pins themselves do not look damaged, on the plastic shroud. The socket should work fine.

It's a little hard to make out fine detail in the pic...take a magnifying glass to it and check for cracks or splits in the pins.
[HTC One X] Silthrax:
Hmm it seems like it goes one small one then longer one, its hard to see from he picture but I think two of the longer ones are missing. And what should be the problem with the LCD because that happened before I damaged the socket.

Between thank you for the fast reply.
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
Well I don't see any missing pins, but you'll have a better view.

As for you LCD...no idea. Generally it's a good idea to turn everything off before you open electrical equipment. You could have caused a short in the process of opening it live.
[HTC One X] Silthrax:
Would that be on the motherboard or the LCD, basically should I bother repairing it or just sell it for spare parts thats my issue right now.
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
If you try to power it on does the vibrate activate...basically does it do everything you'd expect EXCEPT the screen doesn't work or does it do nothing at all?
[HTC One X] Silthrax:
Like I said earlier everything works, I can still receive SMS, phone calls (I can answer them since the digitizer works), e-mails, Facebook msgs, vibrations, sound, microphone... Everything works except the LCD.
[HTC One X] Tigerlight:
You might try replacing the LCD and hope you haven't damaged the connector. If you have, a self-repair is unlikely given its size and that of the pins.

Or you dump it and buy a new phone.

Either way it's gonna cost you money. The first is cheaper but may not work.

I think that's your only options.
[HTC One X] Silthrax:
Yeah I knew from the start it was gonna cost me money, but I wanted the cheapest way out :)

Thanks a lot for the help I think I am gonna try to fix it. Get some experience while doing it too

does any one know how to do it in CM10 OR .785??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KyleSforza:
Settings > Network connection > Network mode > GSM Only

The path also depends on the ROM you're using.

In some ROMs instead of GSM, it says 2G only. But name is same "Network mode"

[Moto X Accessories] NCRoadster:
I got the blue one a few days ago.

It's a really good case, as good as the Incipio feather cases. The texture on it is very grippy, the only thing it's missing is a hole for the dimple.

WOW! i love it. hardly feels like i have a case on this phone. really does a great job at retaining the slim factor of the phone. why can't they make more cases like these??

Nice! But...

I purchased 3 of the Bear Motion cases. Black, gray and blue. I really love the sleekness of the case but I wish they would have more of a lip on the screen side.

The other problem that I see is that the upper right hand corner could have a better fit. The blue case that I received will eventually "pop" out of that corner.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4ringsa6:
Hey guys,

Long time lurker, first time poster.

Recently after the new 4.3 security update, NY n4 has been turning off randomly. In the middle of an application it turns off.

The phone is just completely stock.

I have done some research but no one seems to know the cause. I have also noticed that when my phone does it (now 3-4 times a day) my battery stat has a drastic drop with a line in middle. Refer to photo.

The two lines vertically are roughly when the phone did this.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
I experienced this the other day, when I was out taking pictures. It happened to me after I'd take a photosphere.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 84tdan:
It happened to me once during a Skype video call. And another time when the phone was charging.

Seems to be an buggy update. Before 4.3 I didn't experienced any reboot.

I'm on stock android without root. Thinking seriously to flash for the first time a rom.

N4 is my first phone ever that I didn't rooted straight out of the box.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raclimja:
I just got a Prototype Samsung Galaxy S4 that has a very different design compared to the Official S4.

AFAIK, the specs are exactly the same as the official version (CPU, RAM, CAMERA, BATTERY, DISPLAY, etc...) except the glass covering the screen (I believe it is not Gorilla glass because it scratches very easily).

I want to install the latest Official update (phone is currently running 4.2.1) for this phone but I heard that you cannot install official updates on it because it has different admin privileges LINK

I want to make a full backup of the phones software and i heard the term "NANDROID", what does it mean exactly and how do I do it?

is NANDROID the best possible way to backup the phone?, also would rooting brick my device?

after i done backups, is it safe for me to install Official updates?

if not can I install rooted official roms w/out the MODS?

Can i also install Custom ROMS on it?

I updated my Transformer pad tf300t to android 4.2 and it lags a lot right now. I want to go back to Android 4.1 or 4.0. I know how to do this but i cannot find a 4.1 or 4.0 firmware file for the 'US' sku version. I have searched everywhere but have found nothing. Please can anyone provide me with a link to the downloadable firmware file.
[Transformer TF300T General] AarSyl:
Everywhere, you say? Well, that doesn't sound correct. The firmware (full rom, really) for 4.1 is listed on http://support.asus.com.

To downgrade, it will wipe EVERYTHING except your external SD, if you have one. For good measure, take it out. But a word of caution, I wouldn't try downgrading to 4.0. To my knowledge, we are only able to downgrade to 4.1, but I would LOVE if someone tells me otherwise before you end up with yet another brick added to the long list.

And yes, 4.2 didn't fix much of the lag problems. It merely moved them, in my opinion. There is much less lag when installing apps (still very present), while there is a bit of lag when opening the quick settings and notification bars, which wasn't present in 4.1.

[Transformer TF300T General] frankgreimes:
Fully agreed with this, after installing 4.2 it was laggy as hell then I went on to remove even more bloatware and cleanup the start-process, things got better but nowhere near as smooth as 4.1

My recommendation:

Backup your whole system on an external storage and wipe the whole thing, don't downgrade to 4.0 unless you are very sure (!) it works. I would only go down 1 number if that doesn't work use a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod, AOSPA or Paranoid.
