[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdeux:
Hey, I just got my nexus 5 today and have been using it for a couple hours. I've always been told to dicharge new phones to about 10% and then fully charge them for 8-10 hours straight, but I'm starting to think that it only apply for old battery models. Do you think I can charge it for maybe 2 hours and then use it without damaging the battery life potential, or is it better do do full discharge/charge? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intekmdma:
I think you answered your own question. No need to completely charge
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
Whoever told you that was wrong, even many years ago.

These are lithium batteries, they have no memory.

I'll copy-pasta one of my very long posts on this I made a while back:

1. Charging is what reduces the life of a lithium ion/polymer battery. Batteries are usually rated between 700-1000 charge cycles while keeping 90% of their capacity.

2. Charging 0-100% counts as one cycle. Charging 80-100% 5 times counts as one cycle.

3. Leaving your phone on the charger after it is charged has the potential to reduce battery life, although this is less of a problem with newer devices as they often disconnect the charging circuit until the battery drops below ~95%. Generally only an issue if you leave it on the charger for 24+ hours.

4. Lithium batteries do not require any conditioning.

5. Most lithium devices arrive with ~40-50% battery life remaining, because this is the optimal charge level to store a lithium battery for long periods (such as sitting on a store shelf for months).

6. Slower charging maintains the battery's overall lifetime capacity better than fast charging. This is likely why the HTC One does not have Qualcomm's Quick Charge enabled. It's debateable whether you'd notice the effects over the typical lifetime of a smartphone, however (2 years).

7. Not exactly related to lithium but just in general: smartphones (and tablets, etc) have charging circuits that only draw a certain amount of amps regardless of the number of amps the charger provides. Using a 3.1 amp (tablet-level) charger is not going to significantly increase the speed at which your phone charges. Most phones only use between 0.8 - 1.2 amps. Anything over that is overkill.

8. Storing a lithium battery at 0% is really bad for its lifetime capacity. Running it to 0% generally isn't recommended all the time, but a few instances won't hurt it.

9. Recharging from 0-100 doesn't make your battery run longer. It can, however, reset Android's battery level stats so that it can more accurately state the battery level.

10. Charging from ~95% to 100% takes a long time because it must do a trickle charge. Maxing out the battery like this can reduce overall lifetime capacity, but generally not enough to matter. You'll see this impact more often in larger applications of lithium batteries (like cars).

11. Heat is the #1 killer of lithium battery capacity. The chargers are designed to regulate the heat of the battery to keep them from getting too hot for two reasons: explosions and reduced capacity. The former is obvious, but the latter isn't as much. If the battery is constantly running in a hot environment, especially when charging, it will kill the battery much faster than anything else listed here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdeux:
Alright, thank you very much.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram100987:
I'm probably missing something obvious and will be hounded for it, But what is the difference between these two subforums?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
Heh, yeah, threads like this are usually looked down upon, so I'll answer your question before someone comes in and is rude to you. Just some advice, you might try the search function next time, or if you already did, try broadening the search to other sub-forums on XDA.

Original Development is for when the developer creates something new and unique. A new ROM or kernel that they built is a good example.

Development is for tweaks or additions to things already in existence. Maybe a UI tweak in a ROM, or a ROM built by taking bits and pieces of different ROMs and combining them. Maybe slight kernel tweaks to someone else's kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Also, not sure if you noticed, but the forums have a sticky at the top (forum rules) - that usually helps figure out what goes where.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ram100987:
that makes sense. thanks. it's the first i've noticed seperate dev subforums like that. I looked in the stickies and did catch anything that explained an differences.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Where did you get version 1.60? I saw this version in PocketGear but under a different developer. Is it the same?

How come the official site still have version 1.59 here:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] toucam:
I'm using 1.6 too, works great on Exec. I think I downloaded it from Pocketgear.com
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chtan:
The latest version is 1.60. Becareful for 1.5x version cause they had coded in a hard reset routine inside it. As soon as it detect an unathorized installation, PM will just hard reset your unit.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] darkblak:
I have emailed the developer asking them to add a litte more support for VGA mode - anyone else want to do this? The more they get the more likely they may be to produce a version sooner.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rboy28:
Hey guys, my tablet arrived today and my question is after reading some threads here before: Is the new update available in Germany? People tell here that the water unlock animation is gone wiith the new update (3rd?). After updating the tablet the animation is still active on mine.

Thanks for helpful answers ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
The newest version is MJ 6 in Germany. I'm running MK1(newest without effect), which l installed via Odin. l managed to get my tab to not boot anaymore and just reset it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rboy28:
Hmm okay. At this moment I wouldn't like to use "unofficial" methods - only OTA :) -, but good to know :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] {Diemex}:
MJ6 is very fast already you can just wait for MK1, it basically only adds the MultiUser and I haven't really noticed a big difference in performance. I have only been running it for a few hours though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] rboy28:
I know it is fast. But when I read the posts about the bad performance I expected the tablet will be slow at setup but it wasn't. I thought: "If some of the users with the newest update notice the tablet becomes faster, the tablet will be very very smooth."

Also I can wait for the OTA-MK1 ^^
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] smage85:
Greetings,

On the custom rom i have installed on my friend's xperia sola (ultimate rom v11 and munjeni kernel), I'm able to install instagram. However when I start the application it says that the camera is not supported.

Is this a kernel or rom issue? Or maybe there's another workaround knowing that instagram worked fine on stock ICS but without video support

Thanks for your time reading

It can be done? A 3.x kernel with se kernel hdmi sources for a stable full functional stock Rom
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
There are 3.x kernels, but only for Jelly Bean.

Making one may work out, though requires lots of resources.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjempekjell:
When should I hold down volume up and home button?

When Odin says PASS? When the screen goes black? When vibrate starts? When vibrate ends?

The procedure is as:

1.Copy the " S4Mini_RootKit_v1.zip" to your device SD card.

2.Turn off the phone.

3.Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear.

4.Connect USB cable, and press volume up.

5.Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button.

6.Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.3.7-serranoltexx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished.

7.After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btnetro:
restart, and hold the home + up when the phone boots. I usually keep them presed from the moment I hit restart
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjempekjell:

Wait, I just read about the new firmware with knox secure bootloader.

I don't think the method I told you works atm
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kjempekjell:
I believe so too. I think I have tried at least 30 times no. Everything from before Odin says PASS! to just after the vibrate stops.

All I get is normal reboot and no recovery.

I really hope the smart guys in here find a fix. :)

8.Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it.

9.After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
Why Not?

I never stop on vibrate (never make this: After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY... ), I always reboot after flash recovery.

To go to it , power off, then holder Home + Vol up + Power but when I see the yellow message "Set Warranty bit : Recovery" (or the old blue one msg) I pull out my finger from power but wait whit Home + Vol up pressed until recovery appear.

It work always for me. I don't understand.

Whit root I use the Quick Boot.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notbrodie:
the whole point of the data wipe is to ensure that thieves can't access your data. in that vein, google has made it nigh-on impossible to unlock the bootloader without losing data. your best bet is to use a program like sms backup+ to backup your sms/call-out, and just deal with the app data loss

MD5: 5B9EA9C73066E8F655D14BBA8318C176

I am happy to release my Universal Naked Driver. This is to allow ADB, Fastboot & APX interfaces to work without installing any package much less multiples packages for users with multiple devices. Yes you can just install them and uninstall right away but why bother?

I was annoyed that I couldnt use my Transformer Prime and Galaxy Nexus without having versions and packages trip over each other. My previous post for the Sensation & Galaxy Nexus was helpful so I thought I would bring to XDA the newest Android driver available from source (which they call 4.0) and make it start talking.

Warning: Uninstall any previous driver package's you may have installed and also manually remove drivers by attaching your phone and going to Windows device manager and right click the entry for your phone and select "Uninstall" on the next prompt make sure to select "Delete the driver software for this device" then hit OK and reboot before installing these drivers

Google Nexus Devices ADB & Fastboot
Samsung Devices ADB & Fastboot
Asus Devices ADB, Fastboot & APX
HTC Devices ADB & Fastboot

There always has been more then 2-3 threads for the drivers so this is not new from me.

It also allows for promotion as people are still discovering the drivers. With all the versions I have released and all the autoroot kits on XDA that use these drivers the downloads are over 2 millions downloads and counting.

Once tested well I will update my other threads. =)

Correct it allows to me to roll it out to a smaller userbase with a little control, then I update all threads with new version.

Additionally a good amount of Android autoroot kits rely on my updates and I like to be careful. I do not want to fix whats not broken. ;)

Yes they works fine with 8.1 I will update the post as well. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] 1wayjonny:
These are based off the newest Google drivers from the SDK, first most they allow anybody to download them and simply unzip the drivers without the need to install the SDK or Java, no EXE's or installations hence the "naked" part.

Secondly and most important these work with over 300 different Android devices as of today. It allows people with multiple devices to not have to install anything on their computer this driver will allow those 300 devices to communicate with fastboot and adb. If you service a friends Android your good to go, if you have multiple devices you are good to go.

These also work with APX devices which is a special flash mode for Nvidia Tegra devices... all in one little zip.

Hope this helps

Please see above =)

Sorry I have not tested it but feel free to give it a whirl, these will not harm your machine in any way or form. =)
