[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
It's not as bad as you think but it is better to not do so. Because if you use it while charging, the high temperature will degrade battery faster. So unless you know that your usage is low and not heavy, better to disconnect it and charge again after the device is cool again.

BatteryUniversity says so. It's like running while eating, or fueling your car while you're racing. Not applicable for jet fighter unfortunately lol but you got the idea.. but to some extent, i agree that light usage will not cause harm into your battery (much).
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
He asked if it's BAD to use the phone when it's charging, and let's be honest, it's not like you'll kill your battery within a week if you do it. Are you playing Vice City for 5 hours while charging? THAT might be bad in the long run. Checking the weather and FB a couple of times every hour? Not gonna matter.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Yeah that's what i meant :)

Actually, there is a simple fix to improve and increase speaker volume.

Ps. You need to be rooted. Simply use CWM to flash the mod. Simple.

Check and see if Nearby Devices is draining most of that battery. In my experience, that was the culprit for rapid battery drain after a reboot.

Please let us know.. I did the update today, and I noticed exactly the same thing, from 100% to 93% in about 10 minutes
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisshnitkin:
So after resetting the phone with the factory reset it did help a little. I also debloated the apps but I should give it a couple of days to settle in. I'm currently at 80% with 1hr and 30 min of screen on time.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisshnitkin:
So the battery still seems to be draining more. Usually by 50% I usually have at least 3 hrs and 15 min screen on time and now I am at 2 hrs and 50 min at 48%. Something is Def draining more then it should. Nothing special shows up under wake clocks and I'm doing the same stuff as before the update
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bskarpa:
Prior to update. Was down to 33% then tried to update but it failed. I'm actually happy with mine and nervous about updating.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MicheleJ:
I had the same issues after my update. I then went and froze mobeam, all Knox services, enterprise.knox, knoxs.eventmanager, and a Security wipe apk. Let my note drain all the way until it powered down. Let it charge full cycle while turned off. So far with 1hr and 45 mins of on screen on time I'm down 15%. I feel like that's decent. Been on xda app pretty heavy and 2 different games straight with no screen timeouts. Seems about right to me.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borisshnitkin:
i just feel like i had better battery life before the update. they must of raised the power usage to get the better wifi signal or something. but its def using more power the before.

[Nexus 5 General] Eliad Kimhy:
Not sure if a disclaimer is due here, but in case it is, here's one-

By playing with the Developer Options on your phone, you may inadvertently and/or unexpectedly change or harm one or more function in your phone in a way that might degrade your experience with the OS or in using your device.

So, basically, be sure you know what you're doing.

I'd like to know how people around here change their Developer Options. I personally like to change all 3 animation transitions to .5X scale for a faster and more fluid response, and also Force GPU Rendering for (what I've been told would be) a better, and faster preforming device. However, when looking at my Nexus 5's options I see a lot that I haven't seen before.

What do you enable/disable in your Developer Options settings, and what would you recommend for better preference and speed?
[Nexus 5 General] Zainiak:
I'm trying art right now. Seems smooth. But now when I switch back to dalvik my phone gets super laggy. Not sure why. But as long as there's no battery impact, I like it
[Nexus 5 General] Felnarion:
Force GPU rendering only forces GPU rendering for apps without the GPU rendering flag, which are very few, and typically this is only the case for old apps, or apps that have issues with GPU rendering. I would recommend leaving it off for the best experience.
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
I would probably do a full wipe after switching back. ART is not fully stable yet and there's no telling if there are and residual effects after switching back and forth.
[Nexus 5 General] Zainiak:
Alright, just used wiping as an excuse to unlock my boot loader as well. Will report if its smoother
[Nexus 5 General] akhan47:
ART did seem faster for me too but WhatsApp is broken when using ART so I switched back.

No really, what do you expect to really "improve"? It's a smartphone camera.

Though had you tried to search you would've noticed a thread that kind of improves the quality slightly (never tested it myself)

But please don't expect to make good pictures, it will remain a smartphone camera ;)

the intention about this post was , is there any mod or software which improves the picture quality .If you know any app's please suggest .
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33ch0r:
So it's not taken by Nexus 4? Lol, imagine 20x digital zoom :)

I agree my comment was rather not helpful but you have to admit: Nexus 4 camera is known to be mediocre at best. You can make good pictures with plenty of light, especially with HDR - but nevertheless the camera won't make really good pictures. (Way better pictures than Desire HD 8MP camera though but that's not really a surprise)

To try to be helpful: I still recall some thread where someone changed some files to improve quality of photos and or videos. But I can't even find it anymore :silly:

Just to show what I see as a good picture by Nexus 4, here's a picture of two rainbows :P And a nice picture of the sun.

But as example for a bad picture: the cockpit of the Mercedes Benz Sprinter, which was taken while there was no light and this picture really looks bad :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
it was videos. and it never actually improved quality(its a dead thread right now).

and no, there isnt a mod to improve photos. learn to make adjustments in the cam settings and your photos will be fine. a good camera app is A Better Camera.

Well, one small suggestion would be that you could mount it on a small tripod or other device that you can carry around. That would help stabilize it, so the photos and videos aren't as shaky.

Changes:

v2

We now use our own rill class, and ril blobs, let see if this mitigates data issues(no guarantee's)

NFC fix now included in to the rom, no need to flash.

v1

Fixed GPS it now succesfully locks

Replaced the default kernel with the e975 one, this fixes the surfaceflinger/egl issues, and also enables 13mp(this depends on the camera apk you use)/fixes our camera.

Replaced defautl camera app, with the one from the nexus 5

backup your efs always, since we don't use our ril blobs or kernel, your efs might get corrupted, always have a backup handy.
