I have kind of the same issue, but just in camera app. When i go into camera mode, the screen remains white for 5 - 10 seconds until i can see something. Sometimes it helps when i shake my wrist.. very strange..

Anyone faced anything like this?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] richtom80:
Hi All,

Today I was messing arroung on someones XDA Exec with WinMobile05 OS on. Decided to fire up terminal server client (rdp) and log into one of our web servers, everything seemed the same until the login screen loaded!

To my surprise "rdp" scaled the remote destop down to the screen size instead of showing the true screen size like my "rdp" client does on my XDA IIi with WinMobile2003 on. If you are not with me, it basically took the 640*480 screen and made it fit the 240*320 screen on the mobile, while this made the text size really small it made rdp much easier to use. (so basically support a better smaller resolution)

My question is, is this possible on my XDAIIi? if so do i need a ROM update, terminal server client update, WinMobile05 or simply just tweak a setting?

What does s-off offer than root access?

Is it worth getting s-off or not?

Shall I just get root?

So I don't have to downgrade my hboot.

[HTC Desire S] 441Excelsior:
when you are s-off you dont have to flash boot.img via fastboot when changing roms
[HTC Desire S] powerwill:
Oh right is that it, I might as well just root instead downgrading hboot.

[HTC Desire S] paulie-uk:
It seems to be a common misconception that S-OFF means root, you can be S-OFF without root; what it really means is that you have turned off write protection to the phone's NAND memory, which is where important parts of the OS and other firmware are stored.

Once you're S-OFF it is a huge convenience, if you think you might be changing firmware or flashing ROMs often it can be well worth it. If you're less "tech savvy" you may feel more comfortable with just an unlocked bootloader.

If all you want is root, it might be easier for you, if you need to unlock your bootloader remember that you will still have your data wiped.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
I got my Nexus 5 on Monday and have been pretty happy with it so far. Today was the first day I actually had to be away from WiFi for the day and the battery life has stunned me with how poor it has been. I haven't seen battery drop so fast since I had my Desire HD. I took it off charge about 9am and at just after 8pm as I type this I'm down to 10% with under 2 hours screen on time. 100% to 10% in around 10 hours with less than 2 hours screen use.

Has anyone else had this poor battery life? I'm going to let it run down completely, install GSam and see if it happens again but from what I've read on a few reviews (The Verge was the main one) this seems to be almost normal. I would be unhappy with battery life this bad after two years, not two days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
The good battery apps like BBS are broken on KitKat.

But your battery life is not normal. Mine is quite good, about what I would expect. For reference, my GS3 would use 0.2-0.4% per hour while idling during the night. I can't get real numbers or monitor wakelocks on this phone yet. But so far, seems at least somewhat similar to that.

Use Greenify.

my battery has been around 20% better than on the N4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyHal:
Coming from an iPhone 4, I am shocked by how much faster Android is sipping on the juice.On my iPhone, I would probably be around 70% 7 hours into the day, my N5 is at 50%.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haizum74:
47% after 11 hrs for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
A brief summary of my brief usage. I haven't played any games at all since I got the phone and the only usage has been social network apps and very light browsing of around <20 minutes. Oh and I made a call that lasted around 15 seconds. Everything else is stock setup. I have unlocked the bootloader but I did that prior to setting it up due to it wiping everything in the process.

Basically I've used it as much as I'd use my Nexus 4 and that wouldn't see so much as a 30% drain by now. The only thing that I am looking at as a possible cause is that the phone defaults to wanting 4G only. I'm not on a 4G plan or in a 4G area but even with that Mobile Standby is only showing 4% battery use. Suffice to say I switched that to 3G when I saw it just before posting. As I said, I'm going to drain it completely then charge to full and watch it very closely but I wanted to get thoughts while I waited.

I have contacted Google to see if there are any known issues that have popped up but the response I got just suggests turning off practically everything! Why would I opt for a powerful phone just to turn off sync, location services and anything that makes it a smartphone? The baffling one to me is suggesting I switch to AIRPLANE mode if I'm not near WiFi! I didn't buy a WiFi only tablet, I bought a phone!

"If you know you won’t be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane mode"
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaurenceGough:
I have been very pleasantly surprised with the battery life with my Nexus 5, I have noticed however that Google Location service likes to use battery power, more importantly - GPS - way too much..

However, I leave it on and even still it easily lasts me a day of use, with around 30-40% left depending on how much I use it.

What are your highest apps in the battery use screen?

Try turning off Google location services.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irhut:
I am really pleased with battery life. Around 30-40 % left at end of day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caribouxda:
Just you.all stock and battery life is way better than galaxy s4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
I saw similar with the Nexus 4 but refused to switch off location services and it seems ok. I've attached screenshots just taken. It seems I was a little off with my browsing estimate which shows 36 minutes in Chrome but still hardly astronomical.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
OK so far the general opinion seems to be that it's just me. That helps me eliminate the phone and / or battery just being awful so thanks guys.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carver1:
I'm at near 11 hours and am at 69%.. with an hour screen time. Not great but it easily gets me through the day. By the time I plug it in tonight it will probably have 20-30% and 3 maybe 4 hours of OST. That's more than enough for me

I should mention I have location off.. and only turn it on if I'm going to use the GPS

I also have Google Now off I don't need those flash cards to tell me how long it's going to take me to get home.. it's useful sometimes but I rarely look at em.

I'm pleased with my battery so far.. for the super heavy user they definitely wouldn't get a day.. but for me I'll get it easily.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimetti:
its been pretty terrible for me with identical setups as other devices.

it has me seriously contemplating going back to my htc one. overall i do love the phone tho so hopefully I get a better idea when betterbatterystats is updated.

Few things with battery thats annoying me is google services kill this phone worse than any other ive owned. Even with google now disabled and location disabled. Also my daily drive to work I always use waze w/ screen on. With my other phones (htc one / n4 / iphone 5) i generally lose between 10-15% battery. On this phone im easily losing 25%.

I have access to charging so not a huge deal for now. Its a new os update so maybe it will get ironed out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegtfusion:
you are forgetting you are having a full HD and quad core phone now.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carver1:
Ahh you got that google services bug eh.. that will kill any battery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
Despite not wanting to I did a factory reset and installed a handful of apps, nothing that should cause issues anyway. When I got to Twitter though just after installing I noticed two warning notifications crop up that I remember just dismissing without thinking last time.

com.google.android.gsf.login

com.google.android.calendar

Both state they need installation of Google Play Services. I've ignored them for now so it'll be interesting to see if they have anything to do with it. I know the screen is going to be using more battery than I'm used to when it's on and notice that in battery use it's just everything else.

Friday will be the ultimate test of sorts. I've disabled WiFi, I'm charging it up and have disabled a few location things I don't care about. If it goes down hard again then it's going back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkgoon3r96:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
My battery life over the last 3 days on the N5 has been equal to and a little bit better than my GS4 I've had since launch. Very pleased
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dispatch:
I don't think what you're getting is that out of the ordinary. Between screen time and cell reception (the largest contributors to battery life) you could easily be seeing 'normal' battery life.

Don't expect more than 3.5 hrs of screen time, especially if you have reception issues when not on WIFI. And I'm talking 'normal' computer/dev/IT guy usage (e.g. using the phone as it's intended aka using google now, using one or two emails with push sync, using music services occasionally and sparingly during a day, NOT running in airplane mode, not disabling a crapload of smartphone features).
[Nexus 5 General] bleets:
Just a quick pol to see out of those who have a Nexus 5 how many have a rattling/loose power button?

Got mine today...started off ok, after an hour it started rattling whenever i tap the top right corner (well, whenever i tap anywhere really)...
[Nexus 5 General] kurigowa:
Rattling like a maraca
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
I don't mean to start an internet war here but this is nothing new. People complained about this from the Nexus 4 and many other phones before it. It's a pretty damn common thing and not really something to get upset about. RMAing the device will most certainly yield the same results with the new phone so what's the big fuss about?

Besides, as soon as you throw a case on the phone (as many of us do) it's moot anyway. And if you don't want to use a case just do what this guy did. Simple fix.
[Nexus 5 General] bleets:
I wasnt looking for a war, i was just curious about the number of people who do have rattling to the number who dont.
[Nexus 5 General] sn0warmy:
Makes sense I suppose. I just think you can expect a large number of people saying "yes". In reality this is common with Android smartphones, in my experience.
[Nexus 5 General] Exel:
No rattling here.
[Nexus 5 General] bleets:
Coming from a galaxy nexus it's a bit odd...

the only creaking i had there was the battery cover
[Nexus 5 General] Eliad Kimhy:
How loose is loose? Mine rattles only when I shake it and put it to my ear, but I've yet to notice it on daily use. Does that count as normal, or rattling.

EDIT- Even when I move the phone around in front of my face I can barely hear it.. Physically it rattles, though, so I'm not sure what to say. Maybe I've got real bad hearing...
[Nexus 5 General] MaxCarnage:
Any excuse to create a new thread...
[Nexus 5 General] bleets:
Can't post a poll in another thread and can't really tell how many people are complaining about it and how many arent :/
[Nexus 5 General] Jacob030:
Mine rattles every time I tap the button for the quick settings shade. But so far that's the only thing I have found to complain about on mine. So if that's all, I think I can live with it or fix it.
[Nexus 5 General] 7TimesCursed:
I opened my nexus up and applied the paper fix. However, while I was there I noticed that it wasn't so much the button rattling.. It was mostly coming from the sim tray area. No idea how to fix that.. I'm gonna try adding a layer of tape to the branded side of the sim card to see if it can mute any other noise

[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
Mine rattles a little, but it doesn't bother me at all and I couldn't possibly care less.
[Nexus 5 General] lexusmike:
Mine would rattle every time I would tap the screen. It got annoying quick, so I took it back and got it replaced. The new one is much more solid and doesn't rattle.
[Nexus 5 General] jtwlbz:
IMO all has button rattle. The phone design has too much distance tolerance between from PCB button switch and the actual buttons. so based on PCB location when assembly of the phone. It can make button rattle either volume or power button. some might have less some might have more depending on the position of PCB. I've RMAed my phone for button rattle for 5 times. and all had rattle. some has less but still there.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
The iPhone 4 has this problem too, and does my nexus 5 so i pretty much got used to it.

Doing some digging last night, it appears the AOKP team is building (and has private test builds) of official AOKP for our devices!

I am not apart of the team or know any of the guys, but just putting the puzzles together and getting excited. AOKP is my ultimate favorite rom!

Are you ready?

[G2 General] drtchocky:

[G2 General] GuestK0040:
I think their rom uses cyanogenmod as the base so it'll probably be 4.3.1.
[G2 General] nexicon:
Incorrect. They've stated they're based on AOSP and sharing features as found useful in their roms
[G2 General] GuestK0040:
Ah gotcha. Thanks for the correction :)
[G2 General] bose301s:
More choices is always a good thing, and more people working on a device is also a good thing as it tends to speed up solutions to problems. While I am not an AOKP user I definitely am glad to see them working on this device.
[G2 General] dafutr:
Wow this is great news! On my Gnex I been running AOKP exclusively. Can't wait!
[G2 General] player911:
Well as a previous Gnex user, the stock G2 rom feels really good. I recommend reading the tips and hidden secrets thread. It feels like LG took an AOKP build and used it as reference for the stock rom.

AOKP seems to be based off 4.3.1 now but is also starting to incorporate lots of the cool tricks the G2.

Coming from a long-time AOKP user on my GNex, using it honestly felt like a step backwards from rooted stock with Xposed and other tweaks. The fact that Netflix is not working on our AOSP 4.3 roms was the death blow for me. Not sure if that will be an issue with official AOKP or not but I honestly prefer LG's ROM with tweaks as of right now.
[G2 General] xstewiegriffinx:
Can someone explain to me why people like AOKP so much? I have admittedly only used it once, but I didn't find it to be that great. It was slightly buggy and I didn't notice any great benefits.
[G2 General] joemagistro:
I hope they use the power widget... I don't see any aosp Rom use this for our phones and I HATE the quick tiles
[G2 General] player911:
That's because you didn't look through it. AOKP gives you pretty much every known tweak there is on Android. It's what CM used to be. You can create some very beautiful setups using AOKP.

Though I do agree that I am enjoying the Stock Rom after flashing a few mods. I'm not using Xposed but still got my phone to a good stop where I'm very happy with it.

[G2 General] jrgilbert79:
Well from what I experienced on the GNex they dont release a Rom unless everything works
[G2 General] evangelionpunk:
yeah surprisingly the stock rom on this is not bad and you can modify it which made me wonder if they used a custom as a template?
[G2 General] MidnightHarvester:
I hate to admit this as well, but I'm going to be flashing back down to a LG based 4.2.2 ROM either tonight or tomorrow and really tear into it and see what madness I can do. Question. Does anybody have an app already compiled that fully decompiles apks (smali, xml, etc?) or know one? I don't have a PC at the moment. Otherwise I'll have to head to the computer lab where I graduated college from and build a simple app myself that let's me choose an app, decompile it into a directory, then the option to recompe once done (and resign if not system app). The signing part isn't even needed as Steven's SignapkTool should still work.

Just wondering. It's possible as Matt does it in his Privacy Blocker app. If it didn't force close when I tried to run it I'd try to just piggy back off of that after locating where he stored the temp decompiled files at. But thst wouldn't touch system apks.

I can't stay on CyanogenMod as phone calls are horrible. I'm lucky to make it 3 minutes before getting disconnected. I won't comment on AOKP as It's not out on VS980 yet. We need updated files from LG.. As in an official 4.3 and 4.4 release. I remember the same problems back on the OG DROID, but I'm excited to see what they bring. And yes, they do merge code from separate sources as I saw a weather mod I made for some friends that I released on another site show up in a later release. I wasn't credited, and somebody else created a thread on it on the other site taking credit. I didn't care as thise who know knew.. They removed it a few releases later.

Edit: And when I left the GNex, the were at 4.2.x and starting over from scratch for 4.3 so shouldat least be iinteresting.
