[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphilippon:
Yesterday this showed up as my second battery user under battery.. With over 3 hours of Wakelock? Why? Anyone have the same problem?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CzarD:
Oh yes, you're not alone.

I've been having this problem on all 4.3 builds, JWR and JSS regardless of the vendor (CM, AOKP, Carbon...)

I tried many 4.3 roms, I always get this Android System battery drain. CM10.1.3 works perfectly for me though.

My brother, who also has a Nexus 4, has this problem on his CM10.1.3 installation.

It's not kernel related, I tried different kernels on the same rom and still had the drain. It's not JSS related, JWR has this too.

I wonder if stock 4.3 has this problem too. It's starting to infuriate me; I'm stuck on 4.2.2 when CM is already on it's first 4.3 M release.

This thread discusses this issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2392155&page=6

but doesn't provide an answer.

They're saying radio 0.84 might be the culprit, but I'm not sure.

I hope 4.4 builds won't have this.

Just wanted to share this. Xtremeguard is having a sale, i believe for a while now, 85% off of 2 screen protectors. Must buy at least two.

Bought mine for only $1.50 shipped. Free shipping

Pretty good screen protector.

Code is LABOR85

Hope this helps

When it arrives I'd be interested in knowing if it has a proximity sensor cutout.

From what I read they don't have it on all and id think with out software it would be rather important. (the phone shuts the screen off if it detects the sensor is covered.)

What the hell. Just ordered a full coverage for my wife's. we'll see/
[G2 General] iowabowtech:
I've had a couple of these for awhile now. It only covers the upper right hand corner. Everything from the phone earpiece and leftward is not covered.
[G2 General] nguyentomquoc:
I have this screen protector on my lg g2. Does not cover sensor
[G2 General] fr4nk1yn:
I wish I'd ordered 2 now. How grippy is the protector? I'm reading it's less than invisishield.
[G2 General] nguyentomquoc:
xtremeguard is the only high end screen protector i have ever used but to me, its fine. Not to grippy in my opinion.
[G2 General] iowabowtech:
I'd say slightly less grippy than InvisibleShield. Its also more smooth. Applies much better without the orange peel effect. I can't get over how good this thing is. Best protector out there IMO and the price is great.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Deleted member 230392:
Dear All,

I'm a current XDA I and II owner who has been spending an unhealthy amount of time on the xda-developers forum waiting for the Universal to be announced and then available.

To get right to the point, after considerable analysis I have concluded that O2 is shipping the best value XDA, plus in black it also looks the best IMHO!

To be Specific: (GBP = Pounds sterling)

a) Went to O2 shop website

http://shop.o2.co.uk/shop/o2uk/jsp/handset/SelectHandset.do?paramName=3g

b) choose XDA EXEC, select 12 Month tab, Online 50 contract

c) Phone costs 139.99 GBP

c2) Yes, I'll say that again: Phone costs 139.99 GBP

d) 12 months contract at 19 GBP monthly = 228 GBP

e) Total 12 month committment is about 370 GBP.

f) Customer service say unlocking is 15 GBP

g) Consider the ITS (International Traveller Option) for 3 GBP monthly to reduce the totally outrageous cost of non UK calls to only moderately outrageous.

The best deal I have seen so far. But wait for the potential gotchas:

1. Though I have saved a screen print I was suspicious that the 12 and 18th month contracts had the same online 50 tarrif. Hope not a shop error

2. I was sent an order reference but can't seem to check it online

3. O2 customer support say my order is with the credit checking dept and there may be a problem.

With my naive and optimistic head on I hope O2 will honour my order and I will be a happy and satisfied customer.

regards marcus :roll:

PS: it also says: Unlimited free GPRS and i-mode browsing until 31st December 2005 (though when I called customer support they said this was incorrect and are getting back to me Tuesday 18th December 2005)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] valheru:
Could we in the US get that phone, with that plan, pay it in full, and just toddle off? No harm, no foul since paid in full for 12 months. Still a better deal than buying it here locally.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adamdon89:
Wow.. ok let me get this sorted in my head.. I can get a HTC Universal for one year for only £367.99? If so why do people pay £669.95 for the JASJAR?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] valheru:
A lot of people don't like getting involved in plans and have carrier locked phones. So they spend the big bucks and buy an unlocked device.

I'd really like to know if US residents can buy this device on the plan mentioned above and pay it in full. Save us about $500-$600 dollars US.

Anyone know?

O2 Online 500 Tarrif

I just got my O2 XDA Exec today and am still waiting for it to charge,

Not sure why they aren`t advertising it on the website but.

O2 have a fantastic tariff offers for new 3G handset customers.

I called the www.o2.co.uk/shop (08702257879) and was sold the "Online 500" package with the O2 XDA Exec handset.

O2 XDA Exec = £139.99

Online 500 = £35 per month (12 month contract)

500 inclusive X-network calls

500 text messages

1mb per month free GPRS

Also took the comprehensive insureance = £4.99 per month

(This phone is so expensive offline. That if I lost\damaged it I doubt that I`d buy it offline)

Noticed the comment on the O2 website about:

"Unlimited free GPRS and i-mode browsing until 31st December 2005"

I asked the sales rep to confirm and he says that if its on the website then its gospal. Also confirmed with O2 customer service.

I don`t think you can find a better Tariff...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jdee246:
Re: O2 Online 500 Tarrif

I'm pretty sure thats a mistake. Exec isn't an imode phone. So if the imode bit is wrong - the gprs bit is almost certainly wrong as well.

O2 Exec Deals

Just got mine for 109.99. They offered it at 229.99 but after I said I would take out another online deal for 139.99 + 19 per month for 12 months, they came back with this deal on my original contract. I am currently with O2 on contract @30 per month. This is now being reduced to £20 per month for the same minutes etc saving £120 over the year (leaves the phone costing 109.99).

This comes just at the right time for me as I'm testing Exchange SP2 with this device for a few companies that I deal with.

Roll on tomorrow!!!!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] findus:
Just placed my order for an XDA Exec from O2 shop too, hopefully it should be with me Saturday morning. I opted for the Online 200 at 30 pounds per month and got the handset for £139.99. I went into an O2 shop after work and although they had 2 in stock, they wanted me to pay more for a contract and still pay £149 for the phone! How ridiculous! Anyhow, I can't wait for my Exec to arrive, I shouldn't be upgrading really as I am only 5 months into an existing contract with my XDA IIs. Figure I can sell that with all the accessories (GPS etc) and break even paying off the rest of my existing contract.

Hope this free GPRS is not a mix up, nobody seems to know for sure, but hey we'll see!

Well a colleague and I have been using O2 GPRS with ActiveSync over the internet to sync with Exchange 2003 for months and still no data charge. So Im pretty sure the no charge deal is still on. It will be painful when it finishes though. I think they just want to hook everyone in.

Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get my hands on some replacement keys for the S4. Perhaps different colors? Hopefully a trusted seller and a good product.

The situation is this: Friend got a Droid Razr M, and I went and rooted it. I have learned that it's impossible pretty much to unlock the bootloader since his was built May 24th and has the most current OTA update.

I'm a little lost on this phone and have spent 3 hours reading at least on the forum between last night and this afternoon.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skreelink:
I prefer using the NV Item method with CDMA NV-Items Reader Writer, offered free from CDMA-Ware.

(Credits for this go to tehjolly81 for his PagePlus guide to connect phone)

1) With the phone off, do the three-finger salute (hold Volume Up and Down and Power to boot) and boot into BP Tools mode (looks just like normal boot).

2) Now connect phone to PC via USB cable. If you are on Win7 x64 like me, Windows should find 4 new devices but won't have the drivers to install any of them. If prompted to install anything by Windows, (i.e., Add New Hardware Wizard, etc) cancel out of it.

3) Click 'Start' -> right click on 'Computer' and choose 'Properties'. Click on 'Device Manager' on the left. Here you should see 4 items from the phone that are missing a driver (they will have a yellow question mark next to them).

4) One of the items with a question mark should be labeled something similar to "QC Interface" (NOT the NMEA interface). Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software. Now choose Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Show all devices -> Motorola -> Motorola QC Diag Port. Finish running through the wizard and it should install the correct driver. After installed, it should show the COM Port # that the diagnostic interface is installed on under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of Device Manager.

After getting the QC Interface and getting a com port, just download the free NV-Items reader writer from Here.

Unrar the exe and run it;

1: Select the com port of your phone and hit connect

2: Press read at the top, bottom should say this: Log message: > SPC is correct. Phone unlocked

3: In Range (Dec): put 8322 in the left box 8323 in the right box and hit read; it will prompt to save as a text file.

4: Open the file and change the first 01 to 00 under the 8322 section DO NOT MODIFY 8323. Save the changes.

5: Tap Write and select the saved text file, it should show Writing NV-items from a file: Done at the bottom.

6: Tap Mode > Reset then tap Disconnect and close the program, GSM should work fine after that. :)

I find this method easier and less dangerous than the Radiocomm method.

This is *IF* you want to use Straight Talk's GSM BYOP, they DO offer CDMA BYOP now, which then should just activate like a normal Verizon phone after you buy their network code and activate the MEID with them.

[HTC Droid DNA] raknarc:
I'm sure I qualify for some sort of noob trophy. Having said that, here's my situation: My DNA is rooted w/S-Off, TWRP v2.6.1.0. I have run most of the sense 4 and 5 roms and briefly Newt's GPE v1.0.4. I wanted to flash the official cyanogenmod 10.2. I downloaded the rom and gapps zips and then booted into recovery. From the wipe menu, I did factory reset and advanced wipe of cache, dalvik, and system. Prior to flashing the new rom, I had to step away from the process to help with the kids. When I returned to my DNA, I remembered that I wanted to eliminate the duplicate storage between /data/media and /sdcard that was eating up all my internal storage. As you can likely now guess, my dumb@$$ formatted the data partition to wipe the sdcard without having ever flashed the rom! I'm now left sitting in recovery with an empty phone. I have my TWRP backups saved on my Windows 7 cpu. What's the SIMPLIEST method to either get one of my backups or a rom.zip onto my sdcard? I thank you in advance for anyone willing to help me out!
[HTC Droid DNA] walther1337:
Step 0: boot to recovery

Step 1: adb devices //if it isn't detected: Advanced > adb sideload > adb devices again > cancel sideload

Step 2.1 TWRP backup option: adb push <directory of TWRP backup, without "<>"> /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/

Step 2.2: New ROM option: adb push <rom directory> /sdcard/ // you may also need do do this for gapps

Step 3: Restore backup or flash ROM
[HTC Droid DNA] raknarc:
Thanks, Walther! I wasn't able to get the backup to push, but I had the Tranquil Rom zip on cpu as well and I did successfully push it over to my DNA. It's booted and setting up as I type this. I'll hook up to cpu, when done, and transfer the backup to sdcard. Then, maybe, I'll be able to restore back to where I was before I borked everything up.

Thanks again!

It's a pain to do OTG with KFHD because no voltage is available. You can make this happen with a certain Y USB cord but it's sloppy and inconvenient or you can use Wi-Drive which is OK.

Not my video but explains it well enough http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEMh0ZYT5M. I think it would be attainable by using a moded fastboot style USB cord but with a female end for mass storage. Get the voltage and the USB option will light up. Needless to say that this is at own risk.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
Looks like someone has already done the female 'fastboot' bit. Rather than going through all the trouble with a charge pack, looks like he just used the already available voltage already present from the voltage pin. I have not tried this yet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U19c7PfR7Ts
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JeremySwagS:
Having already bought an otg cable thinking it was just plug and play and a separate fastboot cable to fix a brick, is there, in existance, an adapter that turns a male USB (full sized) into a female USB port (also full sized)?

And is the power provided by the voltage pin enough to run a standard flash drive?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
I have seen a video where the USB was powered off of 3 Volts from just 2 AA batteries. I'm thinking 4-5 Volts would be more desirable. The last video I posted only shows him using what I thought could be used. I have not done that one yet.

It looks like he modded a Female 2.0 USB cord by jumping the Voltage pin like one would making a home brewed fastboot cord to attain the Voltage needed. It's all one piece. Using something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-Typ...tension-Adapter-Converter-Cable-/120998059596

The adapter you asked for can be found here http://compare.ebay.com/like/221249757202?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar It's just a male to female USB 2.0 adapter.

Here is a great topic on how to home brew your own fastboot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39569189 Here's a video as well. Motorola is the same as the Kindle Fire HD 7 fastboot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwwI_6doBWk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Edit: I need an adaptor that looks/works like this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/gi-b-USB-2-...d=100005&prg=1088&rk=2&rkt=4&sd=290988405295& but thank you for letting me know where to look.

Yes, you need the female to female USB. Good catch. The first video I posted about here http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BFEMh0ZYT5M&desktop_uri=/watch?v= BFEMh0ZYT5M shows the method with the Y style USB cord working with a KFHD running CM 9.

---------- Post added 2nd October 2013 at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was 1st October 2013 at 11:38 PM ----------

I'm not so sure he is just using an adaptor. The voltage still must be applied. I'm thinking he has a couple small watch batteries in there to apply voltage. The fastboot cable plugged in does not put out voltage. I would recommend using the Y connection setup until someone figures out how the other guy wired the one piece.

---------- Post added at 12:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

All you're trying to do is energize the flash drive. I'm thinking that the one video, he took a USB plug down to bare bones and fixed it so there was voltage going to pin 1 which is the voltage pin. Putting the voltage only to the USB and not the KFHD.
