[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
But those apps will simply restart and be killed again, holding wakelocks and killing battery in the process. Processes never have to be killed unless Android deems it necessary, or on the occasion that an app is misbehaving.

Tasks don't use battery just by being in RAM.

Not opinion, but fact.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stagius24:
Thanks for clarifying it. So having a lot of task won't contribute to battery, it just consume RAM, which I always have plenty. I guess on won't invest on a task killer then.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbuff:
Task killers are never needed on Android. Is a big myth from the early cupcake days
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
I like to install a fresh ROM that has the option to hold back to kill. It's a nice feature when some app is just being retarded and you wanna kill it... Just sayin..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
That is definitely a must, as apps will misbehave and such. But it's not really related to auto-killing tasks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneXDA:
Don't use task killers dawg, like seriously, this ain't 2011 no more. Android manages your RAM just fine, make sure you manage what apps are doing background processes and y'all be fine, ya heard?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stagius24:
Seem like task killer aren't in favor. But what is bad about them exactly?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
Hello guys, how are you?

I am doing a little research around the web because I need a smartphone and came to some devices, such as the Nexus 4, LG Optimus G, Moto X and the Galaxy S4, which I'm very tempted to get.

Some time ago I saw that the S4 variant were going to get another model with the Snapdragon 800, but I don't know if it will compensate the price, as I think will be higher than the current model with the SD600.

Does anyone know the price of the SD600 equivalent in Korea and the subsequent SD800 model? Did the SD800 replace the older one? Does it have the same price of before or was actually higher?

Also, what are you guys opinion about buying the SD600 or waiting the SD800?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzykiller:
If i were you i would just get the LG G2 or the Xperia Z1 (honami) they are the same price as the i9506 and have better hardware. they also don't have crapwiz software that lags like crazy and hogs battery life. just my .02

Wait for Samsung galaxy s5 :D

Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9505 met Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popab:
I suggest you to wait for the i9506, because of the Adreno 330. But if you are into installing custom firmwares , the i9505 is going to have more developers.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
The problem I see with the 9506 is ominously forshadowed in the most recent developments with the 9505: Knox

I can virtually guarantee that it's going to ship with some form of f'd up bootloader that will attempt to take away your choice in how you want to use your device. Under the guise of safety, freedom is sacrificed. (Not trying to be political, but it does ring true)

I swear this is the last Samsung device I'll ever buy. I said that after getting burned on the 9300 with Samdung's broken promises to the dev community, and I won't do it again.

Nexus devices for me from here on out. No doubt about it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btk97:
People, I really appreciate your help with my questions regarding the I9505 and I9506.

Also, I wasn't completely aware on the Knox subject and will think and get all my questions answered before doing my next purchase!

Thanks a lot again!

Hi, my XDAIIi locks after a call most times I have upgraded the ROM to the latested on this site which is higher than the XDA repair centre can offer. I am getting to the point of using this as a PDA and sat Nav only and buy a phone to talk on. is there any golden rules that I should be doing to keep it from locking up all the time. I have also done a hard reset and used the code 0506 to not loag the O2 junk.

Any Ideas before I turn this in to a PDA only?????????????
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] andy-c1:
yes

you need to get a faster sd card this is a known problem on the 2i

buy a transcend 80x card and you will be fine ...but it must be 80x, has been found to work well

My phone is now a Nokia 6310i currently until I can find a fix as again I have missed a number of important calls even know the phone was on my deskin the usb cradle. which is not what I wanted.

All ideas please.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev510:
Hello,

I searched everywhere but I couldn't find much info on how to sanitize my phones' internal memory.

I have an HTC ONE, and a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I am trying to sell. I know that it's fairly easy to recover data from a wiped partition by using programs like "TenorShare Android Data Recovery", unless data has been written over them at least once.

I had taken pictures of some documents containing highly sensitive data with the phone, and would like to make sure that those documents are not recoverable by the next user.

Neither of them have the USB Mass Storage option in the settings, so I can't just use some secure wipe program.

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonTS:
This question keeps on coming up. It is not possible to securely wipe the internal 'SD Card' of any device. The only way to be sure is to destroy the phone itself. Unlike a PC you can't simply swap the hard-drive with a clean one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kev510:
So you mean I just have to live with the fact that if I sell my phone, the next user has access to everything that was on my phone? How about putting 30gb worth of useless files into the phone and deleting them all? Would that have a similar effect as writing bunch of random 1's and 0's on the partition?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimonTS:
You could do that repeatedly with random files, but you will never be able to do it to the system partitions - so you can't clear out anything on those partitions and will therefore never be sure what might be left behind.

The 'next user' may well not be able to recover anything, but a forensic expert could do so very easily indeed.

Has anyone heard of any chance we might get a Venom port for the VZW variant? Gosh I hope so.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
No. Won't happen unless a member gets a device, and no member is doing that.

We can however donate them a device to build the ROM on.

Which was my plan to open a bounty thread once/if software exploit comes out, or prob. 4.3
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] PizzaSauce:
When Indirect is finished with the device (the dev who received donations to work on finding an exploit) maybe we can ask him to give the device to someone on the Venom team.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] res0prw2:
So are you saying the MMS fix posted works, in newts' forum there is a fix for sms notifications (didn't know there was an issue) and that gps was an issue ( except maybe the standard AOSP fix of get a lock on another sense rom, and then flash this one)?

All good. I'll try the GPS fix tonight. The mms settings will work if changed manually. You can't change the sms notification sound, it crashes. Newt fixed that in his Rom, no idea how he did it.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] woznet:
I used the rom for a little while and since this was my first venom rom I was pleased to see the level of customization and how deeply the code has been edited and looked through, the one thing this rom did more then anything was increase my anticipation for the official Venom rom that will have all the improvements and refinement that comes with the Venom name.

Does anyone have any idea of things like themes and other such customizations that were developed for an AT&T or Sprint HTC One would work for the Verizon model?

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Keithwg24:
Not sure why, but I now have a smooth, prefect running ROM now. No mms issue, gps works, everything.

I decided "eff it, I'm starting from scratch "

Deleted my zips and backups, restored stock Rom to just after I had achieved root. Then performed about 5 regular wiped, then 5 advanced wipes of all but internal. Flashed the venom Rom, only signed into Google account only. Stopped my titanium backup app from downloading. Then tested sms, mms, GPS. Installed and ran my memory booster app.

Rebooted, tested all again, all good so I backed up the Rom and I've been gradually adding my tweaks and apps with no problems

But let's be real, this is Verizon.

Do they want you to have 4.3 or 4.2.2 when the One max launches on the 28th?

Think about it. They do this with every new HTC device.

Look at the very capable DNA still waiting for official Sense 5.0 even if its 4.2.2.

Same pattern, different phones, different year.

This is Verizon marketing at its finest, nothing more.
