[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
This is a workaround to fix the battery drain caused by the recent Updates Google is installing on our devices.

The main culpid for causing this battery drain are the new Play Services, which are getting autoupdated everytime you have a internet connection, but also the changes made to the PlayStore, Maps and Youtube.

To get rid of all those wakelocks caused by these apps and so almost all the time keeping your phone active, I came to a workaround which still allows you to use the Playstore and apps like Maps and Youtube without causing such a huge battery drain, even if Network Location is still keept enabled.

So what you need:

1) A modified Playstore which doesn´t update itself and the Google Play services. http://uploaded.net/file/n0qykeja

2) The older versions of Play Services, Maps and Youtube. https://www.dropbox.com/s/p7fsu00r3zhat0l/google-fix.zip

3) App Backup & Restore and Root Explorer.

First disable all internet connections like WiFi and Mobile Data.

Then go to Settings> Apps and search for Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube. There delete the cache and data for those apps and uninstall them. For the Playstore just delete cache and data.

Open Root Explorer and install the Installer for the modified Playstore you downloaded from the first link.

After you installed it, launch the installer and select the very first Playstore offered on top. This will patch your Core.jar and replace your Playstore with the modified version.

After you got your Playstore replaced you can uninstall this installer again or keep it installed if you whish to revert back one day.

In CM9 open Root Explorer and go to System/Apps and delete there the Market-Updater.apk. (In CM10 it´s not present)

Now copy the Apps from the secound link into your App Backup & Restore backup folder.

Open App Backup & Restore and restore the older Google Play Services, Maps and Youtube.

Reboot your device and accept all the services.

Enable your internet connection, Launch Playstore and disable there all the notifications and autoupdates.

Just in case recheck if the Play Services didn´t got updated again. In this case go again to settings>apps and repeat the step above to delete Play Services. Finally restore them once more with App Backup&Restore.

Now you can use Maps and Youtube like before but without all the wakelocks keeping your phone active.

Last but not least greenify apps like maps, youtube or for example facebook.

This is a temporaly fix as long Google doesn´t fix this battery drain issue again.

Hey guys so I'm in boot loop. Yes I know there are many guides all over saying how to fix it but I have tried many of them and they didnt work.

What happens is I start the phone, it shows the boot image and then restarts after a time.

I can boot into the Recovery mode by spamming the back button when the Logo comes. And can install zip files from the SD card.

I also have tried flashtool to restore it to stock but when i try flashing it detects my device "Device connected in flash mode" but when i try toflash it, it gives an error "Error flashing. Aborted".

I tried many many room whit kernels but stuck on bootloop every time, no way. I have never seen this problem before. Maybe bricked bootloader ?

I tried to relock the bootloader but doesnt help either. :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Any help?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
Ok, since you can boot into recovery can you flash you ROM.zip and try to boot into ROM? I also need some details:

- ROM you were using

- Kernel you were using

- How you got bootloop

Flashtool should work, try to recover using flashtool.

Before this happened i was using Ultimate HD 4.0 and Vengeance kernel ayame. The telephone was crashed and i didnt any backup. I tried to upgrade it to android 4.2 or 4.1 and the probleme begin :( I relocked the bootloader but doesnt help. I flashed it but doesnt accept any firmware, show Error flash bla bla bla Flash aborted. tried almost roms and kernels but doesnt help. I can install rooms and flash kernels, and boot up to recovery but after that is just stuck on boot animation or bootloop.:crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popthosegaskets:
During the upgrade to JB, did you flash the kernel that came with it?

I assume you wanted to update to CM10/10.1? Vengeance Kernel is not compatible with JB. You need to flash UHD4 back to /system partition if you want to stick with UHD or flash the boot.img that came with the JB ROM.zip.

Do a clean install. Your phone should be working again if you do the steps correctly.

If you still have problems, you can reply to this thread or send me a PM if you wish to be more private about it.

But stamina mode can never be ported to our devices.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
--> look below :)

1. SMS count app: every ra3al launcher have this app, the honami one, the xperia Z one, the GX one (old) etc.

--> so got off to his thread, (of ur current launcher) and download the xperia unread addon, it also work well for FB & etc :good: :)

2. STAMINA app: i can only agree to [MENTION=5175623]coolancool[/MENTION], there many things which make this app obsolete: 1st like said barely possible., means we have old chipset which done support some new powersave modes or sth, SO THIS APP CANT DO NOTHING, ONLY u can get it working to handle stuffs like sync, but this is obsolete as u pobaby do it urselg bcuz our small battery. so the most the app would do were to disable some things like automatic rotatin or switch to 2g band by a defined state of battery. i prefer doing this choices myself. & like said bfore 90% of this app WE CAN' use, it probably uses more power that it saves :D

Ok, so this is not a direct issue with my phone, but it is preventing me from flashing anything.

I cannt download any file, from any link. I have tried to DL MOAR rom, cleanrom 7, TPR, beans.....and all it says is waiting for mirrors....it never lets me DL any of them. The only thing that I can think of is that I upgraded my Comcast modem last week......the internet works just fine, I just cant DL any files at all.

Hello, I installed Cyanogen's latest build for the E970, and now my phone will not connect to the AT&T Network. The APNs are all correct as far as I can tell, and it can SEE the AT&T network, but if I try to connect it says "Unable to connect at this time" it worked fine before the flash to Cyanogen, and my roommate's AT&T LTE phone works fine.

The Network mode is set to the LTE/GSM/WCDMA option

[myTouch 4G General] 1LordAnubis:
I've been cruising on cyanogenmod 7.1 for about 2 years now, and since the auto store no longer reads OBD II codes for customers, I decided to purchase one of the $10 Bluetooth ELM 327 devices off ebay, and use the Tourque app to read the data from my car.

The app works great, but it only works if you have a notification pop up asking to pair with the device, and I've only been able to get BT to work with this device so far with a 4.2.2 ROM --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204963 (only JB one I've tried). The other ICS ROM's I've tried so far along with CM 7.1 just won't connect. Has anyone else found a good ROM that works, or a way to trigger a bluetooth notification?

Basically, I turn on Bluetooth in all the ROMs, it detects the device, I select the device, and it says "Paired but not Connected" If you long press or hit the gear symbol, the only option is to "unpair". Pairing with other phones works perfectly fine, but with this device the option/notification to connect never comes up.

Anyone know of any ROMS prior to Jellybean that work with similar BT devices? .. Dunno if there is a way to trigger a notification; I do like JB, but once everything I need is working, my #1 goal is then responsiveness.

Any ideas/insights/experiences are much appreciated.
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
Have you tried any Sense roms?
[myTouch 4G General] 1LordAnubis:
Well, as it turns out, after I did a complete wipe, and was trying cyanogenmod 7.2 out, I was able to connect..... in fact, I'm able to connect on good ole 7.1 as well, and mytouchUXv3... which I didn't want to uninstall- seemed to have a snappier ui. I have no idea why I was unable to connect yesterday, but on whatever ROM i've tried today, if I start bluetooth, then run the torque app, then go back to the bluetooth app with the torque app running, and select pair/unpair/pair/unpair, it connects pretty soon. *scratches head*

One reason I stick to cm 7.1 is that I've read of many users experiencing diminished battery life with cm 7.2
[myTouch 4G General] N_otori0us_:
Yeah I've read the battery life thing too.

What do we lose if we stick to 7.1 instead of 7.2

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niboro14:
Hi :)

First of all, I'm sorry for my bad English.

I have an Huawei Ascend Y300-0100, I installed TeamWin Recovery Menu and I rooted it. Before doing dangerous manipulation, I made a backup of the partitions boot, system and data.

Good idea because after a bad manipulatio, these partitions were formatted.

So I lauch TWRP and restore the partition, it said it's done but the phone couldn't start, I checked the size of the partitions and in fact, the restoration didn't have any effect.

Then I try to make an hard reset whit the an official firmware of Huawei and at step 2/2 he say "Update failed"

I finally found on a forum that I must "zeroing" the imei before installing the firmware so I try to install "IMEI-HACK.img" from OEMINFO-Hack-Tool-v10 using the terminal of TWRP (I read the code of OEMINFO-Hack-Tool to know the manipulation), it flash "IMEI-HACK.img" to /dev/block/mmcblk0p5

I restart and I get a strange green screen with blue and red square. (I wanted to send you a picture but the forum doesn't allow me)

I can't access to Recovery Menu (TWRP) and Fastboot mode...

I just can access to the hard reset (Vol +- holding) but it failed like the other times...

I think on the Huawei Y300, /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 contain not the imei or it's not the same structure than the G300... Or it's not the same partition that the one monted by TWRP.

I hope you understanded my horrible English ^^ Can you help me ?

When I just got my Optimus G it would pick up a wifi signal fine, but after flashing some roms, a bricking, a recovery, and some more roms, the same signal that used to be fast and an average of 2-3 bars is now spotty, unreliable, and wavers between 0-2 if I'm lucky.

This weekend I tested the Avatar ROM, ported from the LG International version by droidmk, and had issues with WiFi. It would connect fine, but anything I downloaded over WiFi (regardless of download location), downloaded very slow (as in dial up speeds slow). Not sure if this is related to what you are experiencing. And just to be clear though, this is the first custom ROM I've tried on my LGOG. I plan on trying a few more to see if any work better. Back to stock for the time being until I download more ROMs.

Help please

I have a problem..

This is my first attempt at rooting a phone.

I flashed the kernel like this:

-Open Flashtool

-Plugin Sony Xperia E in flashmode

-flash kernel like normal firmware.ftf (If i understood this correctly)

My phone restarted, and i thought everything is fine.. but then i recognized, that my WLAN and also mobile internet wasn´t working anymore.. it was trying to enable itself.. but didn´t work..

So i downloaded the stock firmware.ftf again.. my old version and then it worked again..

Is it normal, that Wlan and internet won´t work, when flashing the kernel?

So.. no root yet.. i was scared, that my phone would be broken.. it would be useless without internet :/

If i ignore it, that internet is not working..would it work, if it´s rooted and after installing the kernel?

Last question:

How do i actually flash a kernel? like a firmware?.. screenshots maybe?

Thanks guys :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Benjoy Ericsson:
It's normal when you flash lower kernel. Your wifi and mobile data wont work. But, just following my steps, you need to downgrade kernel to root your phone. After rooting your phone, just flash 2.23 kernel and everything will be ok. Wifi and mobile data will work again. Last, you will have your phone rooted with firmware 2.23. Dont worry buddy :)
