[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
I haven't had any problems with the auto brightness, it seems pretty responsive to me. Granted if I keep my screen on a lot it sucks the battery dry quickly, but the difference I find between min brightness all the time and auto brightness was really negligible even on days I kept the screen on for hours on end.

Battery life is somewhat of an issue I've noticed. On use heavy days my phone warns for low battery after some 8 hours, while on lazy weekends it has been well over a day at times... unfortunately that just seems to be the way it is for devices with these large screens.

I doubt it:

"I was very excited for this case to come, when it did and when I took it out I was pleased with the finish and the looks. As soon as I started snapping the last corner on thats when everything changed. You can snap three corners on but the fourth won't you can press it down but it'll snap right back out. I'm not satisfied anymore since I just spent $40+ at the time for a case that doesn't fit. Guess I'm going to have to return it. *NOTE* I'm using this on my 2013 NEW Nexus 7, not the 2012 version"

The first letdown is the fact that the premium cover is not like the smart cover as is does not wake the screen. Neither does it have a magnet to stay shut. This is really stupid.

Regarding the Amazon reviews I don't even know if this is really the official case or a fake. You cannot buy the case from any official channel yet (I.w. directly from Amazon or play store). I preordered directly from Amazon and think it will fit.

this is my big problem now :(

what can I do ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Change the cable.

Use this app to monitor "MAX" : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free if it's less than 999 on AC, let us know.

the phone was in the charger while downloading this app but the battery fell down from 98% to 96% while downloading

what to do next??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Maximum is 100. This is the "safety" level that the kernel controls when it detects an "unstable connection" to USB. means either your wall plug, USB cable or USB port on phone is faulty. 99% of the time, it's the samsung cable. Try swapping it for any other USB cable.

Looking for some help please. Im running rXTREME on SIII i9305 LTE and have used it as my main driver for a while now.

after upgrading to v13 I seem to have a camera problem. I get a "camera failed" warning message coming up when accessing the camera.

I have also noticed that I get "unfortunately, system UI has stopped." message when trying to use the flash light.

I dont know if the two are related :o

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
so let's get to the bottom of the nexus battery life issue. How long is your nexus 4 battery life after 4.3 updated get or last , whether it set to default setting of the device itself or with a minimum setting such a display brightness level, silent profile, etc ?

and do you know how long you need to get your phone fully charged from empty using original n4 charger ? any trick or possible way to charge the phone itself faster ?

I'm just wondering and should I get nexus 4 or moto x ? but F***, I hate when that beautiful phone has been locked by carrier and has a bloatware since I'm a heavy multitask user and most of the time spend his time with browser and apps and whatsapp messenger .

sorry for my bad word but really hoping your honest review for the n4 battery life after 4.3 .

did you get 8 hours if you keep playing with it and also keep turn on and turn off your phone every 10-15 minutes while you're walking or hang out with your friends ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Some custom kernels like for instance Franco Kernel support fast charging if you are rooted. If i we`re you and you can i would wait for the Nexus 5 that will come out in a few months. The N4 is very cheap atm and batterylife isn`t bad at all. Also depends on user usage and installed apps/widgets and syncing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
thx Gee for the input, appreciate that, and is that the reason why google cut off nexus 4 price ? I can wait but in my head now nexus 4 or N5 or moto x ? but moto x sucks I hate because it's bundled and belong to carrier. that's really really sucks don't you think,
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
The Nexus 4 is a great phone, you will not regret buying it. Sold my Galaxy S4 because of the lags and stuttering software. Also the N4 will get KLP Android 5.0 soon also after the release of the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
whatttt ? you sold your s4 ? how come? I mean and I thought it's great phone, and the time when you feel lagging is the phone is rooted or factory default ?

thank you for your honest opinion cause I know nexus 4 is not great like high end phone such as like htc one but the reason is I wanna get n4 because it has no bloatware and it's the pure android and I'm so happy the carrier didn't put any their apps into that phone.

anyway, nexus 5 will be using LG again? my friend told me will be similar like LG G2
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonio78370:
You might start laughing but I just ordered a Nexus 4 to get a feel. If I like it, it might replace my HTC One and when the 5 comes out, it might replace my Note 2.

I'm a plain vanilla user (plain Android no rooting or nothing) and slowly am getting sick of the Wifi, lag and other problems all other phones have.

I got this idea since I switched to the Nexus 10 and noticed that there's maybe less bells and whistles but the thing works very well.

Let's see...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jooosty:
If you think about it the Nexus 4 has the same CPU settings as the S4 and HTC One the only category that it loses in is screen resolution.

Of course the other two phones have more better technology but when it comes to software wise the Nexus 4 will be right up there with them
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonio78370:
I seriously think about it. It's not a Google Edition and I'm fed up with all the little things that just don't work. I have the impression that all these overlays (touchwiz and whatever they're called) only cause malfunctioning. My HTC is my business phone so changing it for the Nexus, I'll quickly know what pure android is worth.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
talking about pure android that coming from nexus , do we have to clean cache or apps cache from the setting itself every once a week ? such a browser cache , and any other apps cache that we can found from settings-apps-(click random apps icon)- clean cache , ?

I'm confuse and I'm sorry to bring this up such an iPhone we don't have to worry about this cache thing or cache that coming from apps and there's no feature in iPhone like clean cache apps that we need to worry about . (and once again sorry comparing this with apple stuff )

so back to the problem since I'm only talking about google product should we be worry about apps cache ? maybe that's also the reason why the phone can be lagging because too many cache from the apps itself that we didn't notice or care enough to clean it up every once a week ? or by the system default is there any feature that the system will clean the cache that coming from 3rd party apps, background apps (all apps that running in the background). Cause I got paranoid and confuse what should I do , that's why I also install advanced task killer and always set them to high priority and every 30 minutes kill all apps to make sure this phone will always have a room for RAM.

but please correct me if I'm wrong , thank you
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameron3200:
Using PA 3.99 and faux enhanced stock kernel I still have ~80% battery left after over 8 hours of use (using the phone every 10-15 mins or so). I always use automatic brightness set to medium. Not too sure what "battery life issue" you are trying to get to the bottom of.

As for the task killers/ cache cleaners, there's really no point. All you are really doing is making your phone work harder to do nothing at all. You should be thinking of unused RAM as wasted RAM. If your phone needs more RAM to run something it will free some up as needed. The task killers are really just using more RAM and battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
thank you for enlighten me .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banboy:
sorry, but what do you mean by PA 3.99 ? and faux ? is it hard to change the kernel for a beginner or a person didn't know how to rooted or modified any kernel ? and also modified kernel or changing the kernel, is that gonna affected to the device to become unstable ? and I believe changing the kernel is coming from unofficial google, am I right ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zepfelion:
Hello,

I've been using CM 10.2(?) and I decided to attempt to encrypt the phone.

The encryption was unsuccessful and it prompted me to factory reset the phone at boot, it never seems to get past this stage.

I've attempted to far to format pretty much everything and reinstall, I've only been able to properly boot a PA ROM that I had on my ext SD card.

I've successfully encrypted the phone on the PA ROM and I decided to see if I could boot into the CM ROM but it seems it doesn't remember the PIN that I set, leaving me stuck in this loop again.

Any thought of how to remove this encryption error?

hi guys,

i'm not sure if anyone has posted this but here I go...

has anyone tried using the XDA IIS rom upgrade of June 2005 posted at O2 website? I'm about to try it but I'm afraid to do it since there might be bugs on it.

would like to ask you guys if it's ok to upgrade to this ROM. Currently, my ROM is 1.12.62 WWE. As much as possible, I'm settling for O2 official releases but I just wanna make sure if this one's ok.

cheers!

I hope this helps. :)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xcalibur:
IIs user from Philippines

I flashed my IIs with the new official ROM.

I find it more stable than the old ROM plus other new features like WMPver.10. Well worth the upgrade. I could view videos of websites (eg.INQ7) which under the OLD ROM I cannot.

After the ROM and Radio Update, I uninstalled the O2Plus. I didnt noticed any increase in stability or speed after unistalling it though.

I also updated the Radio ROM to Ver.1.13 which I got from WIKI.xda-developers.com.

BTW, I got my IIs from Globe. I still retain the GPRS setting plus gain a new GPRS setting for my SUN SIM. ALSO, I use a DUAL SIM Adaptor which I bought from 3rd Glorietta Cell Stall. There is also GPRS Setting for SMART just in case you got yours from there.

You could also install the O2 II Plus, GPRS Counter and ZIP Manager from official O2 site. I dont use it as it slows down the IIs. I tried yesterday DKToday2.8 but it slows down a bit the IIs.

Only the following softwares are now installed (IIs is very stable and quick):

PshutXP

CorePlayer

Agile Mobile

Avantgo

ChessPPC

Skype

WordNet (dictionary)

In the Green Theme

Cai, Go ahead you will not go wrong. PM if you need help.

I've recently upgraded my XDA IIs' ROM to the June 2005 version (1.40 something). The note on the O2 website indicates that we can set mp3 ringtones already. Here are my findings:

1) Under Phone in Settings/Personal, it still doesn't have the option of setting mp3s as ringtone, it seems to be looking for .wav files only.

2) The Photo Contacts that came with the phone has the option of choosing mp3s, it can even preview the file, but whenever I try dialling my phone using my friend's, it goes back to default, not just the default I have setup in Settings/Personal/Phone, it uses the Windows Default tone. How come? Can anyone shed some light on this one?

3) Are there any battle tested programs/apps out there which can activate the mp3 ringtones feature the new ROM promised, and that works with XDA IIs? Help! :?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] cbrow51:
Hi Yaozer

I have not seen where you can set a MP3 as a ringtone... The only files mine sees are .wav, wma and midi. I use phoneAlarm by PocketMax (www.pocketmax.net), which does allow you to set a wake up alarm that activates a MP3 file. The file has to be in main storage I believe. Activating one a a ringtone may be in a forthcoming version.
