[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Android is the only mobile OS where you HAVE to switch off GPS when not using it, if you wish to get acceptable battery life. ios has a VERY simple yet effective method for managing GPS by simply allowing the user to select which apps are allowed to use GPS. The user selected apps are only allowed GPS access when the user accesses those apps. As soon as you leave the app, if it tries to access GPS ios says NO THANKS JEFF. Battery drain while using GPS is also less than half that of Android in my experience. It's because Google makes a lot of it's money from data mining (collecting your personal info and location to sell to advertisers) the google services are constantly wanting to know your location so that Google can make their ad dollars with complete disregard to your battery life/user experience.

While I love Android, it does have many shortcomings, and it's incredibly idiotic GPS management system, or lack thereof, is one of them.

If you use GPS a lot, and you're dead set on using Android, you can get an NFC tag and set it to switch on GPS once the tag is in range. There are various apps that can do this, I forget which one my buddy uses.
[Moto X Q&A] Dave*228:
I leave gps on all the time and have excellent battery life. Would it be better if i turned it off? Perhaps. I'd get even better battery life if I turned the entire phone off. What is the point of having a feature rich phone if you have to mess with turning things on and off all the time?

You can opt out of most of the location services mentioned in this thread. If you do that; gps only uses power when an app requests a location. The driving assist is a great app with great features; one of which is never having to worry about turning it on and off. Turn it on and enjoy the phone's features.
[Moto X Q&A] bso44:
You can do the same with Tasker.
[Moto X Q&A] RogerPodacter:
You don't have to turn GPSooff, ever. The only time the receiver is pulling power is when you see the icon in your pull down bar. If that's not there, GPS is totally off as if you toggled it off yourself. No power draw. On a n4 I can lose 3% over 8 hours idle, GPSleft on.

A rogue app is the only thing that could be problematic, if its initiating the gGPS while screen is off and you'renot ppayingattention. But this is rare almost extinct if yusing any mainstream app.

Been testing on O2 EXEC

How do I cancel the bluetooth pairing code request everytime I tried to pair a device( happen on bluetooth HID mouse always)

Eventhough unchecked the passkey require box in the menu...

The code request still pop up!

Strange thing is, same device pair with laptop doesn't require passkey at all... and the munual for the device didn't say anything about the code at all...

Tried the default code "0000"(not sure, manual didn't say)...

Anyone have any idea of this?

Or anyone does know how to edit the registry to cancel the pairing code request?

regards!

To: parkertseng

Hi. Sorry no solution to your problem, but just to ask again: mikeycollins asked you on the 20th, how you managed to get an Exec already, as they are not officially released?

You did'nt reply, so just in case you didn't check that thread again for a possible answer to your previous question, I thought I'd ask you in this one.

I'm quite intrigued aswell. I know we all only have two more weeks to go until the official launch, but If you would be as kind as to share your experience in getting a pre-release model, I'm sure we'd all be grateful! Cheers
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] parkertseng:
hi mackaby,

i got this device from my friend in Taiwan...

Not the officail one...

he is an engineer from HTC...

guess that will be the only adcvantage to be Taiwanese..

Ha!

it came with the WEE rom and i flash it with CHT rom..

i knew that everyone is expecting this....only to EXEC

becase of the outstanding colour.....

eventhough there will be a DOPOD 900 release in Taiwan...

I'd still like EXEC...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mackaby007:
Hi parkertseng.

You lucky man! Thanks for sharing that with the rest of us.

Just a thought, if your friend is an engineer on these things, wonder if he can give us all some answers to some of the problems we're all encountering. What I'm really saying is; even though his direct line of work may not require him having all the techie-knowledge for the software problems we're having......but if someone on this forum would for example compile a short but concise list of major issues with the Universal, would he be prepared to try and get some answers from his fellow engineers who may know? A kind of informal, one-off technical support thing?

Would you ask him? or is that asking too much?

In any event, thanks again for sharing thus far.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] humdingor:
I unfortunately had the same issue, The SuperCID & S-ON come into play. You would want to do the JTAG revival, your only hope. Your SuperCID indicates the modification done, which primarily causes this.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
To be honest you'd be better off getting someone who knows what they're doing to do it for you. HTC have nothing to do with the RUU bricking phones, it's nit a fault with the RUU. It's because it looks for certain criteria wharf it runs and if you don't have those criteria it goes bad. It's up to the users to educate themselves about what happens when they've modified their phones.

Sent from my Evita
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
The brick is due to SuperCID, which is a mod/hack that you did. HTC is not responsible for that. RUU with SuperCID typically shouldn't result in a brick. But on the other hand, you should always do thorough research before applying any stock updates (RUU or OTA) to a modded phone.

If there was a way to come back form this short of JTAG, it hasn't been found yet. And its been worked on by some knowledgeable and skilled folks here.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] humdingor:
I've messed up my phone twice & was rescued through JTAG by MobileVideotech. The service is good, although the AT&T ROM that they loaded kept my phone rebooting frequently. However, I have seen that issue ever since I came on custom ROMs. You can give it a try if you wish.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofsinreno:
I know there have been many threads about similar problems and I don't want to clutter the forum but I haven't found an answer to my particular issue after three days of searching and reading.

I had a ICS unlocked bootloader and Pacman ROM installed with TWRP 2.2. I wanted to upgrade the bootloader, recovery, and rom. I was able to download and install TWRP 2.4.4 with no problems but when I tried to install TWRP 2.5 I ran into problems. The outdated PAC ROM loaded but then I tried to boot into recovery and now am stuck in a bootloop. It just goes to the Asus splash screen and reloads the splash screen again and again.

I have tried holding down the volume button but it does nothing, I've tried letting the battery run out then charging and holding the volume button down and it still loops. I can't load the ROM or recovery.

Is it bricked?

CIFS mount troubleshoot

Hi,

there are several threads about CIFS debugging. I have also issue with CIFS mounting, but you can have different issue, so try this:

1) check "ls /proc/fs/cifs" ... it should show CIFS modules. If not existing, your trouble is even deeper

2) increase debug for CIFS: "echo 1 > /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI"

3) after you run your mount command, run "dmesg > outerror.txt" and search lines containing text "cifs". You can see more.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Basttrax:
Hey all,

I've been using my Xperia T on the Rogers network here in Canada for a couple months and wanted to throw a custom rom on it.

After doing some research unfortunately it is Not possible to unlock my bootloader. There is also no way to boot into "Recovery Mode" which I assume has something to do with the locked bootloader.

I've noticed that you can downgrade to .303 but those roms look like they are for LT30p. Will they work with my LT30a?

I was hoping to get a version of CM on my phone. Is it even possible? I've read that maybe I can load certain roms but will be unable to modify the kernel? Will that work ok?

Thanks for you time!
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] MalithMax:
if you are willing to go for CM then the answer is NO. you need to have a BL unlocked device with you. did you check with http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com ? and your mobile as well to confirm whether it is unlock-able or not. Check Here ..

but even with a locked BL you can install custom ROMs to spice your device. there are some ROMs which are specifically designed to be used with locked BLs.. that means they will run on Stock Kernel with customer ROMs.. .. for my LT30at (BL locked) i'm using a custom ROM :)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Basttrax:
Yes it is indeed locked and cannot be unlocked. There's one Rom for my device I saw but it looked dated.

Rom suggestions for a locked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] cjna:
You should be able to use any of the custom ROMs in the development section for locked bootloaders. I have an LT30at and I have used all of the ones in there at different times.

ok did you go through the CWM menu and wipe the system, data, dalvik cache and so on... before you flashed the rom?

It often takes allot longer to boot up for the first time but no more than... id say 5 minuets if that
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Basttrax:
I did. I have some android ROM is experience with previous phones. This is just the first one with a locked boot loader.

Wiped everything etc. Just does the Sony logo. Then goes blank, vibrates once then repeated forever.

Everything seemed to work fine, data, calls etc. Now i go and power down my device as i do if im at work, when i power it back up, it goes to the hands free activation screen, and then errors. But the device is already activated and works fine. Now i am not in a 4g area, 3g only and was told that if your in a 3g area you need to put the device under mobile networks in cdma mode only. Well if i power down the device and reboot it will go through hands free activation screen everytime. I called sprint store where i purchased device, and he said he powerd down three active moto x devices, rebooted and each came back to the hands free activation screen as mine did. He said he has never seen this happen to any android device on sprint. But planned on emailing someone within the company to get answers. So my question is, have any moto x user on sprint expierenced this?

hello there!!!!

i know that the title sound very lame? very once again this title, but i really need your help

here is the deal, my GF gave me for my BD (in may) the tab 2 10.1 (p5100) she bought it over amazon (us) so i was so happy with the tablet, then i read hat there was an unpdate (4.1) so i try to do it over the air, no look, then over KIES, and the program show me a window that say: 'your device does not support upgrading via kies' so, why? i thought, then do a google search, and i found that my tab is for African market, (WTF) kenya to be exact,

this is the information about my tab:

pda: P5100XWBLE4

csc: P5100OJVBLF1

modem:P5100XXLE4

then i read my tab is region free? i mean is not looked with any carrier or something

so, thats the deal, and now i want to update it, and here are my questions

1.- i read that i can update via Odin, but do my tab need to be with the unlock bootloader to do so?

2.- my tab is still 4.0.4 and i know that there is an 4.2.2 official update but i don't know wish one is better (the 4.1) or 4.2

3.- i already download odin and the oficial 4.2.2 france room (does this come in spanish? because i live in honduras (thats why my bad english and sorry about it) and my GF does not speak english

4.- anything else i should know about?

i want to keep it oficial at least 6 months more (then will look for a room) Thanks in advance for your reads and your answer
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsmepawan:
Your answers:

1. No

2. Off course 4.2.2

3. It depends on ROM whether they supports or not, but ya I hope Samsung will, to check upgrade your tab to 4.2.2. Then go to SETTINGS > LANGUAGE AND INPUT > Choose your default language

4. Don't ROOT or install any custom ROM if you want it to keep it official, they will modify for settings. :)
