OEM's rebrand things all the time to market to one crowd or another. Regardless of specs. I'm not saying this is bad, because it's not. A 1A rated phone will not overcharge just because it's on a 2A charger. Android limits the current based on what the phone is spec'd out for.

HTC probably uses the same charger for multiple devices and just rebrands it each time. hahah

Btw, at just $2, that is a damn good deal on a 2A car charger if it really is giving you 1900, which if you followed my method of checking, then it likely is! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] idefiler6:
Okay, I don't own this phone but my dad got a Verizon S4 for work, and his car charger is broken, so he's in the market for a new one. He asked the nearby Wireless Zone rep if they had any 2.1 amp chargers and she was out of them. He then went back to the office, and I called him and said to get one online. He told me that Samsung's website said to get a 1 amp charger.

This didn't make sense to me, so that's why I came to XDA.

Is the S4 capable of pulling 2 amps? If so is there a car/home charger that he should look for that can produce that kind of output? He has to charge at work because they get no service, and they won't let him on the wifi because he's not using an iPoop device.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] tedya:
I am using the iGo 3500 anywhere. I am not sure the amp output but it charges the phone VERY fast.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jmelan:
Galaxy Charging Current Lite seems to pull the exact same value as "BatteryService" for current on my i337 as well.

I am not sure that either really represents the true current, as it seems that the real values are typically slightly lower:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46405654&postcount=151

I am interested in the other values, especially "status" and "online" - not sure what these refer to. I have been able to get "OTG plus charging" mode (AUDIODOCK mode, 64.9k resistor between the id pin and ground) activated on the S4 but it is really flaky and those values seem to change when it is not working ("online" changes from 0 to 8 when AUDIODOCK mode is activated). I think it probably comes down to my spliced cable not really charging well and I will probably need to remake it properly.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
I just confirmed that this car charger gives the full 1900 charging rate.

First I used a nice looking 3' MicroUSB cable and only got 880.

Then I used the stock white Galaxy S4 charging cable and it pulled the full 1900 rate from this car charger.

Thanks, feffrey!

PS. What's weird is the 3' cable that only gives me 880 on the car charger, will give me a full 1900 on the stock S4 wall charger.

[Motorola Droid 4] herbmillerjr:
So I'm in the process of replacing the ear piece speaker. It has always acted up but finally completely went out when I dropped the phone today. Tore the phone apart and pulled the bad one out, and put it back together, so for the time being it's a phone with no speaker, but strangely now the rear camera doesn't work either.

So I'm curious, maybe I still don't have the ribbon cable from the camera seated correctly. But do you think maybe the camera and speaker are on the same circuit and without the speaker in there the camera won't work?
[Motorola Droid 4] Die Bruine:
The ear piece not working can usually be fixed by bending the metal pins. I've managed to fix3 Droid's this way. that being said, I don't think the camera has anything to do with the ear piece.

Check if you've inserted the ribbon properly. The ribbon goes in pretty deep. It's easy to make a mistake when connecting the ribbon.
[Motorola Droid 4] berndblb:
You wouldn't have some instructions for that procedure, do you? Or is there an iFixit video? Have the same problem with the speaker.

[General Topics] clapper66:
Why do people really care so much about benchmarks. i just seen something about Samsung devices cheating the most. specs and benchmarks don't mean anything. Also doesn't the CPU Governor control the CPU clock speed. So When you're running an intensive app it ramps up the speed And then lowers the speed when its not needed to save battery? Also if your running a custom kernel ans set it to max performance it would tell you if the stock kernels cheat. i am just sick of seeing all this stuff about cheating on benchmarks
[General Topics] sebtorres82:
Is not because of the benchmark, is because they cheat.
[General Topics] Zeuscluts:
Yes brother.

Benchmark is really just gives you an approx range whwre your phone stand and its stability and other things.

But some developers use GPU for rendering and for smooth so in that case the Benchmark is low

As it is calculated on the basis if CPU Performance.

And

Some of the custom kernel have auto configuration of the CPU oc.

That helps the phone to get perfectly stable whichout adjusting.

And battery life of android.

http://hmpshah.com/how-to-save-android-battery/

Yes,

Actually it's not Cheating juat a small eroor or manipulation.

But some are really Good and Check perfect if your GPU Rendering is OFF

Anyone familiar with replacing the hboot file to hide the fact that your unlocked and have enabled s-off on an HTC One? I've built my own custom hboot file w/ Regaw MOD Bootloader Customizer using the AT&T HTC One plugin but every time I try to load the zip file it builds I get a "FAILED remote: 42 custom id check fail"

As far as I can tell, for a HTC One AT&T my android-info.txt file looks good. I'm using modelid: PN0712000 which I found here Anyone have any ideas?

Ok.. so I figured all this out (with tons of help from haxin.)

It looks like the android-text.txt file created by RegawMOD for my AT&T HTC One was incorrect. If you go into Fastboot and run "Fastboot getvar all" you can update the android-text.txt file inside the zip to contain the correct information to correct the following fields.

One you do this, just rebuild the zip file and flash it like the instructions say, reboot and check your new custom bootloader image!

[General Questions and Answers] 07et842:
I just read, for rooting unlocked bootloader we flash a specific kernel, then root using doom-lord's method, flash back stock ROM.

So y do that if you go for custom ROM?

I mean, if I flash custom kernel directly, then it will provide me root access?

Or after root, instead of flashing stock ROM and then installing custom ROM can't we just directly flash custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] Sanjay:
Custom kernel may not give root permission.

Because there for root permission you need superuser app to be installed.Which may be given through custom rom .

So custom rom will give root permission.

[General Questions and Answers] 07et842:
So what it actually do?

I flash a kernel that makes rooting easy,

Then I root it.

So what is it changing?

I mean if I flash cm directly, will it not give me root access? Cos the kernel and ROM are already changed.

If root doesn't modify kernel or ROM, then what does it modify?
[General Questions and Answers] Sanjay:
Just don't confuse.

After flashing anything,like may be rom or kernel.using root checker.apk ,check the mobile rooted.If no root,if yes say thank god.

[General Questions and Answers] 07et842:
Its not like that dear,

I just want to know what actually rooting does?
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
In some phones, like the Galaxy S2, the bootloader comes unlocked. Hence, it is possible to root directly by flashing a custom kernel. Rooting can also be done without flashing a custom kernel also.

But in other phones, the bootloader would be locked. To unlock it, we would have to flash a vulnerable kernel first. Then root it. Then restore the previous kernel.

Or sometimes, the bootloader would be unlockable. In which case we would have to go for a SafeStrap recovery and stuff.

As for flashing custom ROMs, you need to be rooted and have a custom recovery. Because the stock recovery doesn't allow flashing non-official ROMs. :good:

Rooting doesn't modify anything mate. Simply put, rooting means injecting two binaries (su and busybox) into the system folder, and installing a Superuser app. This gives the user administrative access. :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Sanjay:
Then ask it directly know.

Root does these below things.

1.Install superuser.apk to system/app.

2.Put su files to lib folder.

This task ,kernel will not do.Only costum rom can do.

I think I was up to your point.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mann01:
I have recently purchased a cable, from pc-mobile.com, to connect my Orange M2000 to a Garmin Etrex GPS, but the sotware (OziExplorer, GPS Tuner, VitoNavigator, etc.) just keeps saying that no data is being received (incoming beams have been disabled).

The cable was advertised as being suitable for an XDAIIs and I was wondering if anybody knows of any differences between the devices/COM ports.

My other thought (though it seems a little silly) is that the Garmin only outputs at 4800 baud and that the M2000 is unable to work at such a slow speed. The slowest selectable speed in Active Sync is 19200.

ROM Version: 1.31.00 WWE
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robal:
Hi

Try disabling "receive all incoming beams" in "settings" -> "Connections".

Have fun :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cruisin-thru:
Mann, your speed at 4800 is correct. It may be a faulty cable, it shouldnt be too hard to check using the pinouts for rx, tx and ground. The only other thing is if you have an external keyboard driver loaded this will need disabling as most are on by default.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mann01:
Sorted...

This morning I have received an e-mail from the people at pc-mobile:

"WE have managed to get hold of an XDAIIs and discovered that one of the ground pins used with XDA1 and XDA2 (and GXDAP) had been used for something else and therefore GXDAP cannot be used.

We are changing all GXDAP ONCE AGAIN (this happened from XDA1 to XDA2) so that it is compatible with all 3 versions."

In conclusion if anybody needs to connect an Orange M2000 to a Garmin e-trex have a look at www.pc-mobile.com.

It may have taken a month and a half, but at least there is now a solution!

Tibu is not the panacea it's made out to be. Don't do a batch restore. Only restore the apps you really need. It's much better to use Google to restore your apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Well that is a matter of opinion. Using google to restore apps will always give you the latest versions of the apps. And that is often not a good thing. (I have 6 apps right now that I dont want updated because the newer version is crappier) Google isnt real good with restoring app data either.

There is nothing wrong with restoring using titanium for apps and data. The only place it shouldn't be recommended is for restoring system settings or data. That is where you get version/rom incompatibilities.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] realsis:
I always use TB to restore my apps. Never had a issue. Always use batch restore and restore only apps and data. Not sure what's going on but I ONLY use it to restore apps. What exactly are you pressing during your restoration process? I only restore missing apps with data in the scenerios. Never had I had any issues. perhaps try restoring missing apps AND data. this is what I do. Works every time without issue. Problem might lie in the fact your not restoring apps and data. Give it a shot. Let me know. It should work perfectly for you. Does for me always. Your not restoring data this is likely your issue. so during restoration press " restore apps AND data" this should solve the issue.

Hey all...

I previously ported CWM to my MT6572 device (i.e lava iris 402) using auto port tool for MTK phones . It ported , booted , i thought to make backup first , Then it made back up in just 10 sec , i thought something is going wrong . after that i rebooted the phone AND it was stuck on boot logo :( .

Tried to restore stock ROM via SP Flash tools but no luck , From day 1 it was not working in my phone , it shows error some thing like " layout has been changed"

Checked sd card on pc , saw the backup which recovery made was just of 10-20 MB :-p

Nevertheless my phone was in warranty period so gave it to SVC , and have got it back ( Motherboard was changed , even those guys were not able to flash stock ROM)

In the mean time when i was phone less i unpacked the stock recovery.img , went to /etc/fstab file .. And saw that the partitions of /system , /cache and /data were ubifs :confused: :confused: instead of ext 2,3,4 or yaffs which are commonly used ...

Came to know that cwm does not support ubifs file system . This thing i think bricked my phone . Recovery which i ported was of MT6577 phone which had ext4 fs.

Now i want to know how can i port cwm to this cursed device ? Which uses an unknown ubifs file system . Bricked once earlier now i dont want to brick again ....
