Has anyone noticed that current 'widget' select layout is annoying? I mean if you need some apps widget that starts with 'Q' or smthng like that you need to scroll scroll scroll scroll scroll.... TOTALLY USELESS!

Far more better would be if in the widget selection menu there would be each app folder organised(3x4 for example), and then in the selected app folder all the widgets app developers has been made.... I mean that each app has its own widget folder then you go into the folder and THEN choose one of dosens of the widget sizes not like now that all the given widgets are in 'one' page and its hard to find and oriantate...

It would arrange the widget mess if you have lots of apps that does have widgets and you dont have to scroll like mad to get to your needed widget!

What are you thinking about this topic?

Maybe we could somehow whisper the idea to 'android' side? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSGio:
my gs4 fell into the water and i dryed it and it works perfectly fine but the battery life got harmed and it doesn't last so long like it was!

now my question is :

i wanna replace the battery and the phone is still under warranty but here is the sticker that turned red and i know that the company wouldn't replace my battery if they know that the phone came in contact with water!

is there something i can do to hide this sticker or something i can tell them so they will replace my battery?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Batteries AREN'T covered under warranty...

Go to ebay and pick up a cheap one... At least you won't have spent a fortune to find it could be the phone, not the battery that is to blame, they're around $5Aud (OEM).

You also won't get warranty repair on water damaged phones...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSGio:
in israel the bettaries are covered with warranty but they have to inspect the phone and when they will do that they will see that it got wet
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
So you might as well get the OEM battery off E-bay for a couple of dollars... Will tell you for sure if it is the battery and not the phone...

If it is the phone then you are in a bit of trouble. They will charge you $$$ to fix.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSGio:
i wanted to get it from ebay but all the oem batteries i found there are different than what i have:

the ebay models are B600BC and my model is B600BE!!!!!!

also here are some battery usage stats before and after:

before:

display 40-50%

media 10&

phone 7%

android operating system 4%

google services 3%

after:

display 31%

android operating system30%

media server 21%

battery in standby 2%

google services 2%

now i don't know if it's the phone or the battery!!!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
That depends on usage ... seems normal to me ... are you sure your battery is actually damaged?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LSGio:
the stats you saw are taken when the phone had 100% battery!

here are the stats after 7 hours - NOW!

battery level - 31% and i didn't touch the phone since the morning cause i was in school

android operating system 74%

display 8%

browser 2%

standby 2%

phone 2%

these stats are unusual because the display should drain the most battery no matter what (befor phone got wet display was 40-50% and android operating system was 3-10%) so it looks like the OS is doing some stuf in the background which drains alot of battery considering the fact that the only app i have installed is whatsapp (don't have any other apps and i didn't changed anything in the settings after the phone got wet)

edit: just found out GPS antenna is not working (tried with waze and other gps apps and some games that require location gave wrong stats about my location!)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
You:-

A) Dropped the phone in water

and

B) Used it immediately afterwards (almost as big a mistake as dropping it in water) rather than removing the battery & putting it in a bag of rice for a week.

What exactly do you expect to happen as a result ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poikilo:
Reset

Do a Factory reset. By your stats there doesn't seem to be any battery damage.

After you do a reset, completely charge and discharge your phone a few times and use it regularly. If problem persists, its a battrey damage.

PS. DO NOT BUY KNOCKOFF BATTREYS.

IT CAUSES MORE HARM THEN NOT.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
the screen does not always use the most battery as u say ... if the phone is idle why would the screen use battery ... check my battery stats with 2 hours screen on ... do as the one before me told a factory reset ... see if it improves then consider buying a new battery ... and check also if gps works after this ...

Some apps on Amazon's store are "for Kindle Fire". Does anyone know if/how to get these running on non-Kindle Fire Android tablets? Does the APK check what it's running on, or is it just that the store doesn't let you download these apps without a Kindle Fire? Is there a way to get APKs from the Amazon app store using a PC? I am referring to free ones, or ones which you have a licence for of course.

Cheers

NB: I did not ask how to get the same thing from elsewhere.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] at45:
Oh so it turns out "for Kindle Fire" versions work just fine on other devices. The only difference seems to be that the download is restricted.
[LG Optimus 3D] ChrisAksel:
Problem is that about a year ago my phone wanted to update it self , so i did , sadly. Problems begin battery showed up to 0% , try'd different chargers , different battery's.. nothing. So i just bought a new phone , but now i hope to get that one working again. So past 2 week's i looked every corner what this forum has and can't find solution. I readed in some topic that one guy got he's battery problem fixed by installing ThiaiZ O3D V2.7.1 , so i did everything what i needed and installed fine "ThiaiZ O3D V2.8 GB" (2.7.1 link is down) after that i put my phone to charger and thought it ended my problems cause it was charging till 2% so there it stoped and didn't go up. I even let calibrate my batterys after that in official store hoped that it will fix it but no. So i found somewhere another option to check on and cleared my "Google services framework" data. Nothing evey time when i put it to charger it will charge till 2% , i let it to charge about 24hours nothing changed.

Hopefully i was specific enough with my problem and someone here has any ideas what i should do.

Thank you.
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
The problem (unless battery is bad, which I doubt) is LG's crummy updater software. Use LG Flash Tool to reflash your firmware

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39269819

Once drivers are set up properly on your pc (step 1), you can proceed with flashing the .bin (firmware) and .fls (baseband) provided there or whatever .bin or .fls of your choosing.
[LG Optimus 3D] ChrisAksel:
I actually followed your thread from step 1) to 2.5.

I didnt install XBSA v8 or vR3D rom , so magically it started charging after about 30min. Thankyou for that , acctually can't thank enough for that. :)

BUT... Now i have a little more problem... it dosent matter how much it stays in charger it chargers till 94% and not further up. So i thought that 94% is also a nice one , but even if i dont use phone it will drop like 2% in 30sec , so after 30minutes the phone is empty.. Any more suggestions?

Btw the thread what you linked me , it is amazing for noob like me , biiiig thanks for that. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] MasterTobi:
oh wait ..... how old are you phone ? maybe the Battery is damaged, but first try it in a other phone
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
Yeah, sometimes they give out. It just seems suspicious it started after updating.
[LG Optimus 3D] MasterTobi:
.... ok i never heard about the problematic
[LG Optimus 3D] ChrisAksel:
i bought phone in 2011 november , used it about 5 months and updated after what battery problems begin and i put the phone away , now i took phone and thought to repair it and drastic helped me out a LOT. but now i discovered that i dont have back cover of the phone anymore dunno where it is mby my son took it... anyways i will buy from somewhere new battery and back cover. mby someone has onfo where to buy it with direct pay Nb: ebay needs credit card so dont suggest it :)
[LG Optimus 3D] ffteixeira:
I have the same problem with my P920. I can`t find a solution for this problem.

Sometimes drops from 80% to 1%, connecting to the charger nothing happens. Sometimes stays at 1% and a cross in the battery icon

I have 2 batterys, same behavior. Any solution?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
If you have an overerclock app it could be the settings. I had mine on performance once (bad idea) and I had sudden power loss.

Otherwise it could be corrupt system from bad flash.
[LG Optimus 3D] ffteixeira:
I have tried the method from your tutorial XBSA V8 , step by step, didn't solve. at this moment,writing this message, I have 1% in battery icon.(passed from 64% to 1%) even doing wipe cache and Calvin didn't solved.

I`m using Win7 x64 for the process, can be this the problem for the bad flashing?
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
Win 7 x64 is what I have. Recheck step 1. Very critical for successful flash. Also be sure you uninstalled all LG drivers and software from your pc and reboot it before beginning. All antivirus should be off when extracting files. Read all details carefully. The 4 wipes in recovery before installing the ROMs is important too.

Also be sure your charger is good, and that the battery is making good connection inside the phone (no bent contact pins, etc.).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] cameraz:
I used to love my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab, but lately its limitations are becoming very annoying.

Recently, I purchased a Panasonic Lumix GH3 camera, which features WiFi. On my tablet I downloaded a Lumix Link app, which is supposed to let you operate the GH3 remotely on your tab. I have the same app on my iPod, and it works beautifully, but it won't work at all on my 10.1 Tab.

The GH3 camera shows up on the Tab's Wifi list, but it won't connect.

Also, I just purchased a bluetooth speaker, which I had hoped to use with my Tab while watching movies and videos. The Tab will not connect with the speaker. However, again, the speaker connects with my iPod Touch flawlessly.

The fact that Samsung will no longer update my 10.1 Tab doesn't make me happy, either. (Yes, my Tab is not rooted.)

I think it may be time to switch to a new tablet.

When i reload kernel which is inside .zip device work again, but only to first restart.

I follow all install instruction. /i think/

Thnx.

[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
My dear Canvas HD friends, Next time you boast about your Quad-Core processor to your HTC or Samsung friends, you might wanna watch your tongue. Because most branded phones come with a Cortex A9 or Custom ARM (Qualcomm Scorpion, Krait,etc.) processors. Whereas our Canvas HD has only a Cortex A7 processor. You may ask why? Well, that's because, A Cortex A7 based processor, even if it has the same clockspeed and Number of cores, When compared to a Cortex A9 based processor, the difference in architecture means a considerable difference in the performance of these processors.

Here is the comparisons.

A Cortex A9 is about 30% faster than a Cortex A7 processor. A Krait is over 70% faster than an A7 and a Cortex A15 is over 80% faster than an A7.

This means that a 1Ghz Cortex A9 processor is more powerful than a 1.2Ghz A7 processor and a 1Ghz Qualcomm Krait processor is more powerful than a 1.5Ghz A7 processor.

Our Canvas HD has MediaTek's MT6589 1.2Ghz Cortex A7 based processor. Not that it is slow. But you can compare it with other branded phones and know where it actually stands.

Source: How powerful is the new Quad-core Cortex-A7 MediaTek MT6589 processor? (check #7)

I was always wondering what's the difference between Cortex A7 and A9. I always knew something was missing. But my mind always chose to stick with Canvas HD is more powerful than Galaxy Grand. :p Today, I'm forced to accept the fact that Galaxy Grand (which is always compared with our Canvas HD), despite having only a Dual-core 1.2Ghz A9 processor, iis more powerful than a Canvas HD having Quad-core 1.2Ghz A7 processor.

More facts:

ARM's Cortex A7 is actually newer than A9. It is slower and more energy efficient than A9.
[Micromax A116] ladiesman6:
But, if you haven't noticed in galaxy s4.. even with a powerful processor like Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7, there is not much difference in the performance... but the htc one is amazing..
[Micromax A116] salaigeethan666:
Galaxy S4 uses the Exynos 5 Octa-core processor. Although it has 8 cores (A Quad-core 1.6GHz Cortex-A15 processor + a Quad-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 processor), the phone uses only 4 at a time. A15 is powerful. Good for playing high resolution games. while A7 is energy-efficient. Good for Battery. So the phone uses the A7 processor most of the time and switches to A15 only when the pressure really increases. this is how it works. you won't see much difference in it's performance when you compare it with other phones, unless it starts running with it's A15 cores. :laugh: A15 is the most powerful processor in the market right now.

Source: Galaxy S4: Samsung's 8-core processor explained

HTC One having Qualcomm's Quad-core 1.7Ghz Krait processor is almost equal in performance compared to the processor of Galaxy S4. because Qualcomm's Krait is 10% slower than the S4's Quad-core 1.6Ghz A15 processor. Not just that, the S4 even has the upper hand here since it is also energy efficient with it's A7 cores. Samsung totally rocks:(.
[Micromax A116] xkaushx:
But if you use a116 and galaxy grand u will see the difference! Grand lags a lot and the UI is slow and laggy! My sister and 1 of my friend bought grand and within 5 days it got so laggy dat they sold it off! And this was with no apps installed! Only whatsapp!
[Micromax A116] inder swami:
bulls#it ... cortex a9 is not powerfull.. mediatek didnt use a9 over a7 because a9 is just little more powerful than a7 .. bt a9 eats a lot of battery.. and a7 is power efficient yet powerfull... do you think why samsung use 4 cores of a7 instead of a9 for power efficiency???

and atlast all the krait cpus are a15.... .most powerfull till now..
[Micromax A116] siddhesh1609:
A9 dual core is as good as a A7 quad core processor...

But u hv noted a good point that A7 is battery efficient than A9 .. just because of the architecture.. and as it consumes less battery it gives slightly less performance..

And IMO mediatek did not include A9 because that wud make cost high and their target audience needs cheaper phones..Not because they r bothered about efficiency
[Micromax A116] sagarkumar91:
Not to burst your bubble but ultimately UI is extremely important to determine performance, not just processor power. I have used both Galaxy Grand ( of a friend ) and My canvas HD , let me tell you that the Grand cannot be compared to Canvas at all. I can easily multitask on Canvas while Grand stutters and stumbles towards the finish line. And Grand has just 200-250 MB free ram usually while canvas has 450-500. Just try this, Play a Heavy Game like NFS or Nova , and come out to message on Whatsapp or open another application. 90% of the time Grand closes the previous app while canvas still has it. So, DONT compare the processors, compare the performance as a whole.

P.S - Check Antutu benchmark on both Phones, thank you.

Coming from a nexus phone , specs don't really matter for common use ,as long as ui is close to stock any phone will rock. I think grand sucks at this due to Twiz ui put a asop on it and it will rock ; this is what mmx did with their ui that's why so our phone is more fluid then others.

Grand VS Micromax

Lets be Fair enuf i brought my bro grand when it was newly launcher in india in month of feb ........

Wat I Found Remember both phones are runing on stock roms and are not rooted

Grand Duos OS android 4.2.2 With Touchwiz

Premium Look And feel

Lots of Sensors

Gps With GLNSS Locks Instantaneously

Aswme Twz Ui

Multi window ( awsme)

Con

Very Laggy

Restarts or Hangs After Often

Very Few Apps Supported ( For example games like real racing 3 and other subway surfer latest doesnt work)

This Grand Also Hangs with Other third Party launcher Like Apex and Nova

About

Mircomax A116 OS Android 4.2.1

Fluid Ui

Good looks

Faster Processor

good multi tasking

Games Run Very good leaving Few heavy games

Very Good Resolution Screen

Good App Support via play Store

Con

Very Bad Build Quality

Poor Quailty Screen Compare to OGS Glass in Xolo Q800 Wich Comes in far less price but with same spec

Bad Gps

Very Few Senors

No Magnetic sensors (i have magnetic sensor even in my samsung galaxy Apollo or i5801

Too Be Noted i tried Heavy launcher like Next launcher 3d with samsung like transition animation and also my Screen Is full of widgets also running heavy wallpaper which is My beach HD i haven't noticed and lag in micromax A 116

SO MICROMAX STILL BETTER COMPARED TO GRAND DUOS
[Micromax A116] ladiesman6:
I agree with that .. the only two major drawbacks I noticed about the 116HD , are one about the GPS it's too bad... takes a hell lot of time to work.. and then about the build quality... but the performance and battery backup is far better than I thought it would be...
[Micromax A116] Strider_RD:
Bro any quad core soc (a7 or a9) will have an upper hand on dual core soc..

Both in terms of battery usage and speed. So comparing grand with chd is not done..

And 1 more thing canvas hd is a budget quad core device if u need premium experience then go for nexus we didn't said that our device is better than nexus 4..

So stop comparing. If u have enough bucks than go for htc, apple etc.. U are not forced..

GRAND vs CANVAS HD

never go for numbers......its all about the user experience.....i am having both device for use (i own HD an my sis use GRAND) purchased within weeks...so as per my experience i can say CANVAS HD is better than GRAND in most of the fronts except camera and GPS (btw who use GPS on daily basis ???).... Grand is laggy as comapare to HD and most of the S features are just gimmick (rarely use,consume more battery)

My canvas HD is still smooth ...never face any lag while playing games (shadowgun,blood and glory,dead trigger,virtual tennis and lot more)

Grand do have samsung brand name with it but that brand name cost you 4-5k more.
