[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbcdk:
I do reboot between tests, as the hardest fix is the first. That said, the following takes longer than I would expect too, but not nearly as long as the first.

When strolling today, I checked the g-maps fix twice, with said reboot in between. Both times I had a fix in 8-10 seconds. That's about the same time my iPhone 5 uses without any data (a-gps), but still way better than yesterdays results. Can't figure out why this changes so much.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] maconsultant:
So i am curious to ask if any one has been successful in exposing the native dialer and the native SIP settings dialog on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE.?

On the 2012 Nexus 7 3G you needed to modify the framework-res.apk in order to expose the phone app and changing the DPI would allow you to gain access to the SIP setting that are in the phone app.

I Can not seem to reproduce these steps on the 2013 Nexus 7 LTE...

Has anyone tried..? If so can you shed some light on the process. Thanks in advance, your time and help is greatly appreciated.

----UPDATE----

I have learned things have changed and the old mod will no longer work on 4.3 and up..
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Shambik:
This would be epic. for me, the dialer itselfwould be just fine, for the LTE N7. I really hope it would be done. too bad google doesn't enable it out of the box.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lordstylz:
No offense to the folks running good versions of the UK 4.2.2 firmware, but since the U.S. version is out does anyone have that available to install on a a rooted but stock N5110 wifi note 8?

www androidcentral com/android-422-now-available-wifi-galaxy-note-8-kies-and-ota

I don't want the UK version (nothing against UK), but I can't seem to find the US one on the forums. Can someone link me if it is available? If not, just confirm that it isn't available yet and I'll just have to unroot and re-root.

Thanks

My US GT-N5110 Note 8.0 was updated to 4.2.2 through the setup menu last week. I found a couple issues with it. I would rather to stay with 4.1.2.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] mbze430:
not sure why you can't just upgrade to the US 4.2.2 via Kies and then just root it? I can see if you were asking for a deoxed zipalign stock version, but since you didn't mention anything of that... just unroot and turn your 4.1.2 back to stock, and load up Kies and upgrade to 4.2.2 then root it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jazzespresso:
no. it is available....where did you guys come up that it is not?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] lordstylz:
First I was talking about a version to get that was downloadable on my own not via ota or kies.

I rooted but i am not running custom rom or recovery... Kept everything else stock.

And I can't unroot and update via ota because I get message about my device being modified still after I use voodoo rootkeeper. Anyway I am at a loss on how to update now anyway and I really don't want to use a custom rom. .

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] jazzespresso:
it is at http://www.sammobile.com/, go search your device number...make sure you download the right version. If you have N5110 US WiFi, you should be downloading "N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_XAR.zip", unzip it, when you unzip, you should end up N5110UEFMI1_N5110XARFMI1_HOME.tar.md5, and then use odin to flash it...remember, this is stock firmware, so if you device rooted, you will loose...
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
I have more than a few questions, hopefully some of you can shine some light:

DOCKING STATION

Is there gonna be a docking station like this one , but that is USB3.0 instead of just regular micro USB?

WIRELESS CHARGING

I understand the convenience of wireless charging. Is it slower than USB 3.0 charging?

Does using a USB 2.0 micro USB cable to charge the Note 3 affect in any way? is it slower?

Is it posible to implement wireless charging using the Spigen Neo Hybrid case? I heard the QI add on makes the original back cover not fit properly. Is that true?

NFC

Since the NFC chip is built onto the battery, do extended batteries like the upcoming 10,000mah by zerolemon have the NFC chip as well?Or will I be losing NFC functionality by having a third party battery?

Will Spigen Neo Hybrid case affect NFC?

CAR DOCK/KICKSTAND

I have had HTC EVO line phones since the first one until HTC EVO 4g LTE. This is my first Samsung. Is there an equivalent to the HTC car dock app for samsung (once again, USB 3.0 enabled)?

Is there gonna be an official car dock holder for Samsung, like HTC usually makes?

I want a built in kickstand, but I didnt want to limit my case options based on just that. I was intending to buy something like this, but they are never in stock. Must be wallet size. Anyone know of something similar?

Thank you very much for your time.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Don't really mean to bump, but I think answers to these questions would be a good source of information for everyone
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snowwhite007:
There's an official USB 3.0 dock released but not the multimedia version u linked.

I have modified my Note3 to charge with the S3 wireless card and charging times don't seem to differ that much but I charge my device overnight as this beast never runs out of battery. Also the mod I done doesn't bulk ure cover out.

It doesn't charge wireless for me with my Spigen Slim Armour

If you use a third party battery that has NO NFC then you loose it

In terms of docks as the phone is only just out I'm sure there will be loads of USB 3.0 docks released soon enough for in car use
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CZroe:
Where? I can't find it on Samsung's website.

I see unofficial ones on eBay that have microUSB 3.0 connectors the plug into the phone but only microUSB 2.0 on the back of the dock, so it's not only unofficial but also not USB 3.0.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snowwhite007:
Quick Google search http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-samsung-galaxy-note-3-usb-3-0-dock-p41066.htm
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
Regarding wireless charging...you are the first person to claim that they can keep on using the Note 3 without increase in bulk, and therefore still fit regular cases, albeit wireless charging will only function with the case off. How exactly did you accomplish this?

Regarding NFC, my question was really whether the third party batteries are going to have NFC or not. I did assume not having a battery with NFC would disable NFC.

Thanks for pointing out that USB 3.0 dock! I am still hoping they will release a multimedia one, as my understanding so far is that the current smart media dock does not allow for simultaneous MHL and USB usage.

And what about USB 2.0 vs 3.0 charging? what is your take on that?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snowwhite007:
I stripped the wireless card of the advertising leaving just the coil and one thin piece of sticky paper so no padding etc therefore its ultra thin.

I personally would only use official battery's so wouldn't know but I assume there will be NFC enabled third party ones.

As for USB 3.0 it certainly charges faster especially when plugged in to my PC
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] darkleafar:
So you are saying the phone charges faster plugged in to a PC's USB 3.0 port than to the included Samsung USB AC adapter?

Thanks about the info on the batteries, I was just curious about the 10000mah one :P
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] snowwhite007:
No what I meant was its faster charging and transferring data with the 3.0 on PC than standard micro USB
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ksy77:
well that docking station you posted does work with the note 3, see here if interested:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] CreekDirt:
Yes the mAh battery from ZL will have NFC.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] tdmodcon:
NFC still work?

Hi! Have you tried NFC with the coil? I know the coil works fine, keeps the slim profile vs. the OEM back charging cover, etc, but wondering if it blocks the NFC since it covers the battery. The add-on coil seems like the obvious and cheaper choice but I want the NFC to work still as I do use NFC tags. Thank you for the info and any help you can offer!
[General Questions and Answers] gingerlindsey:
Moderators, would you please consider putting a folder for all Mac OS X related questions and answers regarding the rooting, flashing and installing of custom ROMs on Androids? As it is, I did a search for Mac OS X related questions, and these threads are all over the place instead of being in one, central repository.

Also, to satisfy the requirement for at least 10 posts before I can achieve "full personhood" on these forums, I have resorted to writing tutorials for Mac Users who are new to Android and who wish to customize and root their phones. But I have no idea if the people for whom I will write these tutorials actually will find them as they are buried knee deep in other folders on this forum.

Also, we need a current glossary of terms for Mac users, and it needs to be "pinned" so that it appears at the top of the folder for Mac OS X Users. I will try to write one. I came across one on the web, but I can't find it now. But just for your information, it is hard enough to for folks to learn to root, flash recoveries and install custom ROM's on their phones without having to learn a whole new vocabulary! For instance, no one on a Mac "flashes" software. We call it "installing" software. Likewise, no one on a Mac uses the term, "RUU". It is simply a "firmware update for your phone." And likewise, we don't have an alphabet soup of drives either, so telling us to place the folder that contains our downloaded adb and the fastboot files on our "C" directory makes no sense to us! Instead, we need to be instructed to install these files in a folder called "Android" in our home directories. And the terminal commands for Macs vs. PC's are different as well, and so the instructions need to be rewritten to take these differences into account.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter!

Could be a ROM bug or a TSF Shell bug ? After i installed the ROM i didn't have any soft buttons / navbar, i went to settings, etc, to make the visible.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] blavov:
Hello everyone,

I switched my 16 months old 4x to CyanogenMod 10.1 about 2 months ago, and updated to 10.1.3 about a week after the release. About a week later, I had my first problems with rapid battery draining. I have switched kernels thrice, now running the most recent optimus prime for CM, and have tried fiddling with the values TricksterMOD provides, but I haven't found a way to get any decent battery life out of the device ever since. Last night, the battery drained 50% in about 12 hours of non-use (phone was left with display off in my jacket pocket, and that's not even the worst drain I witnessed in the last two weeks.

I'm running BetterBatteryStats to get a clue about the origin of this drainage, and can see that my device seems to me awake far too long when I'm not using it. At the moment, I'm looking at 44.6% awake, 55.4% Deep Sleep after 2.5 hours of not using the phone once (I was driving home from work half of the time). In "Kernel Wakelocks", I see "wlan_rx_wake" with 21:03 minutes on top, in "Partial wakelocks", the highest value is 20 seconds for "AlarmManager".

I have the usual suspects of communication/networking apps - Facebook (set to 2hr update), Google+, K-9 Mail, WhatsApp, plus AndroidWeather (set to 30min update) - and news apps which are allowed to send push messages. I use wifi, but no bluetooth. I never watch movies, play games or listen to music with my phone.

I have attached a BetterBatteryStats log from the 50% drain in 12 idle hours I mentioned. View attachment 2332280

Can anybody give me any pointers as to what I going wrong here? I really would like to use my phone without having to plug in the power supply every few hours. If you need any additional information, I'll gladly try to provide it.

Anyway, thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers, Pit.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
only 3 letters. O M G ! this battery report just made me like this face here :eek:

u cant flash kernels one after another. there are bugs this way. dont all kernels use the same names for files. leftover files will cause problems. do the whole procedure. go to recovery , format data, reboot to recovery and install new rom
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
You mean you cant flash Android roms one after another. You can freely flash kernels one after another without wiping anything, Its completely modular.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] kessaras:
then explain his situation... he said he flashed kernels not roms. why does he have such a bad battery drain during night sleep ? in his report i didnt see he has any so "bad" app.... (just asking out of curiosity, its good to have knowledge generally)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] JoinTheRealms:
Not sure about the battery drain, it could be caused by a kernel, but its not because hes flashed multiple kernels.

some background:

Android kernels are packaged into boot.img's (these .imgs can be placed in .zips with instructions on how the custom recovery should handle flashing it) Inside a boot.img you will find a zImage (kernel) and a initrd.img (This stands for initial ram disk, its simply a basic file system that the kernel mounts, containing mainly scripts that handle mounting all the necessary partitions etc, then handing control over to Android. )

The boot.img is stored in a emmc partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p*). When you press the power button, the bootloader is initialized , it then powers on necessary hardware devices, the bootloader than pulls the boot.img from its partition, extracts it and boots the zImage(kernel), which will start initializing less necessary hardware, but mainly mounts the initrd.img and runs the containing instructions.

Bootloader -> Kernel --------------------->

.........................Initrd.img-> ........Android

To move back on track, the zImage and initrd.img only operate within RAM, they only lie in emmc when they are achieved as a boot.img. When you shut your device down, nothing from the kernel persists in the next boot (maybe /proc/last_kmsg ;)), this is why you dont need to wipe anything on your device between kernel flashes.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] blavov:
Thanks for clarifying that; it saves me some trouble. ;)

Does the BatteryStats log give any indication as to why the phone is awake half of the time?

Cheers, Pit.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] OnAir783:
Dont know, but maybe O Prime is one of these kernel which hides the xmm baseband wakelock.... that would be the missing awake time in your log

Yep optimus prime hides the baseband wakelock
[LG Optimus 4X HD] blavov:
Is there a different kernel you would recommend I should try out? I selected the OPrime because it claims to be focussing on stability and battery life instead of raw power.

Furthermore, what would the baseband wakelock tell us in terms of how the fast drain happens?

Hello all,

just to try it one more time: is there any way I can get decent battery life out of CM10.1.3 on my 4x? This is my profile from today, where I unplugged my phone from the charger around 7:30 a.m. and didn't use my phone thereafter until 5:30 p.m. where the phone was down to 38% already (stats taken around 8:30 p.m.) . The governor is set to conservative and the max frequency to 1.1 GHz, which already makes the UI a bit sluggish. The other settings are unchanged from above.

Secondly, if there really is no chance of improvement under CM10.1.3, which ROM (and kernel) would you suggest for my phone, so that I can at least get a full 24 hours of battery life when I'm not using my phone most of the time?

Thanks in advance, Pit.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] dimi89:
Format SD card and wipe everything before flashing new ROM. When I say everything I mean : catche - dalvik - format system - format sd card (sd card is 11gb internal memory of device and external sd card is your inserted sd card). Try latest liquid rom i have good battery life with its stock kernel.

Hi everyone,

well, that was a bust. After spending the better part of a day formatting and installing over and over again, I'm now running CarbonRom [20131023] - and having the same battery problems as before.

I tried LiquidSmooth (2.23), but I never got it to work properly; after installing I always got "application someName was teriminated" every few seconds (while the Play Store app was redownloading and reinstalling my apps, but also when I tried to activate SwiftKey, which calls the settings app at one point, which abruptly quits before I can type in anything. I then tried

ParanoidAndroid (3.99, which I didn't like UI-wise)

and SlimBeam (1.9, where the Google apps I downloaded as stated would install fine, but then not appear for some reason - at that point I didn't spend much time trying to fix it, because I was already fed up with it all)

before finally installing CarbomRom, which worked fine. Thus, after downloading my apps, I tried out my battery again. I unplugged the phone, turned the display off, and went shopping for about two hours, touching the phone just once for a few seconds.

The result is again about 30% awake time during these two hours, losing 10% battery in the process (BetterBatteryStat included). That is pretty much unchanged from my experiences with CM10.1. :(

What am I repeatedly doing wrong that I don't get halfway decent battery runtime out of my 4x (which used to run fine battery-wise for a year when I used the original LG firmware (which had other issues, but could last 36 to 48 hours, depending on usage? As I don't see hordes of 4x owners throwing the device against the wall in frustration, I must do something other don't. But I haven't got the slightest clue what that might be.

I will try PACman (nightly 20131021) next, but if anyone has any pointers, please please help! I'm running out of ideas.

This was my procedure, by the way:

Reboot into CWM

Format system, cache, data, sd card

flashing ROM

Rebooting

after bootup reboot again into CWM

add the Google apps

reboot again

After bootup, reboot again into CWM

just to be sure, reset to factory defaults

reboot, connect with Wifi and Google and start redownloading the other apps

Frustrated greetings, Pit.
