I used my Sprint Samsung GSII (E4GT) charging brick and cable last night and under battery stats it showed charging (AC) and it seemed to be charging the phone quickly.

Is there a place to see this on the stock rom or do I have to download an app to see the voltage?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
i used the app because i don't know a better way.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] escape21:
what app did you used?

i wanna do this tests too
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
i used battery monitor widget. play store link. the better option is to let it run and post an average of the graph or you can just post the instant value but it's not so accurate...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
Ok, I've made a more accurate test and I've taken some screenshots, for the moment I'm going to upload them here, tomorrow I'll update the op.

OK, this is a charge using stock charger and cable, from around 50% to 100%.

A bit slower than previous time, but nothing major. At the moment I was sleeping, so as usual for me it was in flight mode and with sleep as Android app running.

This is a partial charge (14% to 55%) with the stock charger and the Amazon basics cable.

much faster than previous test, but still not enough. Tested with very light use, and in flight mode for most of the time.

I have several PortaPow 24AWG fast charge cables, best money I ever spent. My phone actually charges in the car now (and fast) while I'm using gps and streaming music over bluetooth, the cheap ebay cables I had before couldn't charge my devices while in use. When I use the Portapow cables they show up as AC charging in the battery settings instead of usb like the old ones.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
just to clarify, all the cables i've tested are showing up as AC even if the charge is so slow.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] green_comet:
Ahh ok, I found my cheap/slow cables would show usb under battery settings. I'm finding the Portapow cables very good though, I've tested them on my cars usb input, a Ventev r2200 4.2A charger, and a Kensington Powerbolt 4.2 and have performed flawlessly so far. I'll have to do a few more test and post the results up here. :good:
[Nexus 5 Accessories] unvaluablespace:
I have read reports of some users complaining that their micro usb cables don't fit in certain nexus 5 cases. Does anyone know of any cables (preferably that charge well lol) that are slim around the connector?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
the cable suggested by [MENTION=3480519]gtj0[/MENTION] seems to be slim enough, but better wait for him.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] SykesAT:
I've noticed the same. Some chargers/cables seem to charge quickly, other slowly, if at all, even though the phone indicates AC charge status. This is a great idea for a thread and DB. Do you think it's more the cable vs the charger?
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
Yes, from what I've noticed it's more the cable. I only tested the original charger, another LG charger (1000 ma, from my old p990), a choiix (cooler master) 1000 ma charger, and my choiix external power bank. All the 3 1000 ma chargers are charging at almost the she speed, independently from the cable, che stock 1200 ma charger is definitely faster with the stock cable, no major differences with other cables, so I think the problem is definitely the cable.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] SykesAT:
OK, so I've gone round all of my chargers and cables. There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which option works best. Some cables hardly charge with some chargers, whereas charge much better with other chargers and vice versa. That being said the only comb that I've found that comes close to 1000mA is the LG charger and LG cable which came with the phone. All other combos max out at around 600mA and some combos hardly break 200mA.

Unfortunately I can't say what cables I've tried nor the chargers used. I just don't remember where they I bought them all or what device they came with.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
Ok, this is the graph of tonight recharge using my power bank (1a out) and the stock cable WHILE PLAYNG INGRESS!

I can definitely say that (at least for me) the charger is absolutely not a problem

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Ashcunak:
so whats the difference here anyone want to guess? is this a matter of length of cable vs 22 awg vs 27awg type of thing?

did a fast test, my worst cables were the shortest ones oddly.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] KoRRo89:
I don't think it's a matter of length. For my cables it's true, the longest are the worst, but the sgs2 cable is just 2 or 3 cm longer than the n5 one and is far worst, just a bit better than the Amazon basics cable that is almost twice the length. Also one of the first replies was about a 1.8m cable that doesn't have any problem.

Regarding the awg I'm not totally sure because I don't know much about it. From what I know it's a measure system for the wires and it works the opposite than the metric system, so with the smallest numbers the cable gets bigger. The only cable with an awg number on it it's the Amazon one and it's a 28 awg. Seems strange that the n5 cable could be a 22 as hinted in your post since the Amazon cable seems to have almost a double external diameter compared to the stock one...

Also, according to a table I've found, a 28awg cable should be able to carry from 0.8 to 1.4 amps, far more than what I get using it.

Hi

Sorry for my poor english first....

I have a HTC ONE and I have to make it repair for wifi trouble.

My bootloader is in S-ON mode but TAMPERED and RELOCKED mentions still there.

I've never put my One in S-OFF mode, juste rooted it few month ago.

I dont want to risk to lost the guaranty so I'm looking for the best simple method to remove this mentions.

I read some posts here but I fear to brick my device by using the wrong method...

Can you help a newbee user???

Big thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] truckerd:
Just got done rooting my Droid Maxx, this will be about the 8th phone that I've rooted so I'm not a complete bozo when it comes to rooting. I appreciate those that have come up with the root and have donated when ask for. This last root has done some weird things to the phone

1. Bluetooth commands wont work, answer and call cancel work, but no voice commands. When asked to choose what program I want to use, which it shouldn't, I press google voice and it says program illegally installed.

2. I've change the entitlement to take advantage of my grandfather rights, but it seams like I have to on/off airplane mode to reconnect to 4g to get internet pages to come up , this happens anywhere frome two to 10 minutes on the internet.

3. I've also installed Titanium back up. want to remove allot of the blot, [I never get rid of proprietary programs] after removing programs like NFL football and the like, those programs come back and are re listed in the app pages.

Any thoughts to whats going on. ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dssking:
I've read, came to no conclusions, so here's my posting :

I loaded numerous ROMs to my Rogers S3 (i747) with great success. I keep coming back to Touch Wiz roms

due to the way it LOOKS. I can't stand the AOKP and others because everythings seems so dark.

Is there a way to load 4.4 Kitkat CM11 and change the theme to TW? I could have sworn I saw the Kitkat demo

and it looked like the current 4.1.2 TW based ROM. Am I wrong? Where is that ROM to load? A stock 4.4 Kitkat rom for

the S3?

Am I confused??? Or missing something..............

Cheers and thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
You can change themes on CM10 with this theme.(should work on CM11 as well) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thomassafca.theme.touchwiz.five.free&hl=en

I assume nothing has changed too drastically in 4.3 to make this not work. To find other themes just search "CM10.2" in the play store to see what is available.

Personally I think Touchwiz is also too dark and I prefer this one. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tillaz.theme.HoloLight.red&hl=en

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cunningStunts:
Hey all, buying my first tablet in a few days! I'm mainly getting it for a browser based flash game (Wartune) but will use it for other odds and ends as well, I'm sure.

Couple quick questions:

Anything I should watch for when buying the Nexus 7? I will be picking it up from a local BestBuy.

I've skimmed through the rooting thread and have done it on all of my phones, seems very similar. Any recommendations before doing so to this device after I purchase it?

I've tried looking, but are there any 'essential' roms I should look into?

Thanks guys and girls!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Ramzes13:
I went through three (two were in store) before I landed on one without issues. The first one had noticibly bad "banding" on the top of the screen (some may call it light bleed), and the next one had sveral dead pixels left and high from center of screen (i tried a couple -unstick pixel- apps to no avail). I have not had an issue since, I am really enjoying it, the resolution and density are very nice.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Dawei87:
The default browser (chrome) for android doesn't support flash. I think some third party browsers do but I haven't fooled with them in a long time and never had much luck.

Edit: To answer your actual questions though, I bought my nexus 7 from best buy and have never had any issues with it. That being said, you can look through these forums and see that many people weren't so lucky. Rooting the device is very easy and if you have done it before you don't have anything to worry about. I myself have not tried any custom Roms for the nexus 7 because stock/rooted has met all my needs so far.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cunningStunts:
All this talk about bad pixels and light bleeding is off-putting. :eek: Do the same issues exist with the Nexus 10?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] swisstourist:
I use Stock. I tell you why.

1.tired to download and plug my nexus to my pc and spend hours just for roms.

2.risk to brick it,

3.i need a safe tablet, with easy update. Because i travel often. Stock is stable. Practically no crash...

4.warranty loss. They can see if you rooted it.

Just enjoy your tablet out of the box... 2 years warranty in my Swiss country. Whatever happen I sent it back and in Switzerland they are good with service(unlike USA where they send back unfixed tablets) . I don't even open it.

I just bought a I535, unlokced and rooted. But seems it can't support either ATT or Tmobile WCDMA. Ive set up a correct APN, but it can only work under Edge network.(no signal if I change to WCDMA only) Is there anyone who use Tmobile or ATT? How can I do? ROM 4.1.1 VRBLK3

Hey lil buddy, i have probably 6 galaxy s3's one being my i535, and its my most pristine condition Gs3, i use a i747 which is an ATT GS3 as my main phone, all are unlocked, now from what i know about the i535 and i hope im wrong, is since its a CDMA phone, it doesnt support the same bands tmobile and att use for 3g/4g/LTE data, my i747 is on straight talk and works awesome, 2 of my tmobile T999's work awesome aswell, but only get HSPA+, which is 4g, but from what i hear on our i535's we cant get anything above EDGE when running on Tmobile or ATT.....i hope you find a solution cuz if you do please tell me!

I own a xda 2s from O2 england........

I Unlocked it to work on "US" tmobile.......

Anyway........I feel Victim to what kills MOST cell phones......."I had it in my lab while driving & hop out the car not realizing it was still on my lap*

The phone had minor scrapes on it.....nothing major......*but so i thought*

About an hour later ....I felt my phone vibrating....when I took it out the case......the phone was damn near meltin in my hand.....hot like fire........So i took off the battery & waited a few mins for it to cool off.........after that I noticed my battery was @ 30 % mind you I jus took it off the charger & made no calls........any way as the phone cool off the battery level went up a tad..........

I then made another call.......it was fine...but after 5 mins.....it got real hot again........so i took off the battery & left it off till i got home & charged it.....

since that day everytime ah call is made I hear crackleing from the speaker......*but not when I use the blue tooth or ears piece*

Now it seems like the speaker has totally melted so EVERY SOUND from it sounds distorted & low.................My battery life was cut in half if not more.....& from time to time the phone still over heats......

******Is there ANYTHING I can do outside of getting a new one?*****

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] virus247:
i dont know where to get it replaced coz im not from your part of the world...

there are o2 service stations all over...and i presume its a hardware problem coz it cant heat up bcoz of a software issue..jsut go get it serviced

So it does sound like it can be fixed?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] virus247:

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] heliosfa:
If it is getting hot, it sounds like you have a short circuit some where in it, and you are lucky that it is still working. I would avoid using it until you have had it repaired/looked at.

I've been trying to fine out what can be dun other wise......& I'm getting no where.......

:cry:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] fluffcat1:
Sounds like you've snagged a speaker wire and it's shorting against the case. Are you confident opening it up? I have the speaker assemblies as spare parts and have written a stripdown guide.

If not, send it to ppctechs or similar.

Hi,

as most of you know the official Android Kitkat version is now on the N7.

I wanted to ask, if anybody knows about DSP Tunneling.

Is it active on the N7 or still only on the N5?

For those who have not heard:

DSP Tunneling seems to decode the audio files directly on the DSP instead of a Cpu core, saving more power.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deejuic:
Hi All,

Yesterday night, I made the switch from stock to Paranoid Android 4.3. I love it! Only issue I'm having is WiFi Tethering. On stock, I was able to modify the Mobile Hotspot App to get tethering to work.

As that app is not in Paranoid Android 4.3, what's the easiest way to get tethering working? I have tried various settings on the TrevE WiFi Tethering apk, but haven't had any success. What are people using and what settings? I looked for a thread for this and didn't find one. Links and assistance appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

I have a bricked x43z60. It does not turn on at all.it was bricked using this method:

I've shorted the usb boot pads and now when I connect the usb cable the device get recognized as OMAP4440 for a few seconds and disconnects.

---------------------------------------------------

I tried to flash signed uboot like otter2-u-boot-prod-10.2.4.bin with usbboot tool but it hangs at "waiting for 2ndstage response..." at this point in the UART console I see the that the device tries to boot and hangs at the xloader again.

I do get some data back from the device before it tries to boot like:

CHIP: 4440

CRC0: 229e85ba

CRC1: dc5874bc

It means that the device DO receives the id signal and responds to it but I can't tell if it processes the boot signal or loads the file to memory.

I've searched all over the place...Where can I get a properly signed u-boot file?

Thanks,

Vadim
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
Sounds like you know a lot about hardware modification. It's all alien to me:confused:

I hate to tell you this, but I don't think there are no signed u-boot files. The only ones that exist are Amazon's, and they are definitely not going to leak those out to the likes of us. Until they do, there's no way of fixing a brick like that:(

This thread here might explain more.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
There are no hardware modification. Just some debugging.

I don't really want to install custom roms or something, I just want that thing to work. The boot loaders on the device are already signed, so the ones that come with an update file. Can I (or someone with a working device) dump the bootloader from the device? Can I extract it from the update file?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph0enix_216:
It's still more than I could understand:cyclops:

If you want to try extracting it from the update, you can download it straight from Amazon's website. Just rename it from whatevertheynameit.bin to whatevertheynameit.zip and use 7zip to extract.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
The boot loader is already dumped and available in the updates mentioned above, the problem with trying to do what you are trying to do if I remember right is that you also need a signed xloader or something that is pushed and launched before the boot loader can be, and I think that isn't something you can dump because it doesn't exist on the kindles emmc, otherwise we would have had this method working a long time ago, though it does work on kf1's. Though I thought from what you have in the logs it sounds like it might not be xloader I'm thinking of, but I thought the boot loader was referred to as u-boot. Anyways sorry I don't know much more about what I'm talking about. I noticed you mentioned otter2, if you want to give it a shot otter2 is kf2, if you look in the android development section for kf2's, there's a method for unhardbricking it, but it requires a USB sdcard reader and being very good at soldering. Look for the thread by kurohyou.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
The xloader is fine. Its the u-boot who's got corrupted. I've extracted the x loader and u-boot from the update bin. Still can't boot from it.

This is an OMAP 4460 HS(High Security) chip, I can't find any documentation to see if it supports booting from USB in this TrustZone secure state.

The usb booting option is almost offered by this device, they even made a marked pad for it....

Another option may be booting from serial using pserial and ukermit. It may offer more flexibility in the security checking crap....

In order to get into serial boot mode we need to locate the SYSBOOT pins. They located in the chip at:

GPIO 184 F26 0 SYS_BOOT0 SYSBOOT Input 0

GPIO 185 E27 0 SYS_BOOT1 SYSBOOT Input 1

GPIO 186 E26 0 SYS_BOOT2 SYSBOOT Input 2

GPIO 187 E25 0 SYS_BOOT3 SYSBOOT Input 3

GPIO 188 D28 0 SYS_BOOT4 SYSBOOT Input 4

GPIO 189 D27 0 SYS_BOOT5 SYSBOOT Input 5

They should have pullup resistors externally on the main board. If some one have a dead board with some free time and a heat gun that can pull the chip out and trace those pullup resistors....
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimbrk:
I've managed to get the device in serial download mode by sending 0xF0034306 to the device right after the Get ASIC ID command(from modified usbboot) and then upload the u-boot file using pserial(via UART connection). The file get uploaded and then the device "freezes" for a minute or so until it restarts and spitting the " Signature verification failed!" error again.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinearEquation:
If I'm understanding right, the OMAP drivers are showing in device driver? I don't think anyone has got the KFHD to work after this. If I'm understanding the situation properly that is. That would be some history right there.
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
The VZW rep told me that Moto partnered with Moto to guarantee that if you purchase Asurion, that you'll receive an exact replacement for your customized Moto X should it ever need replacing. What's more, they'll overnight you a temporary phone until yours can be built.

This is the only time i've seriously considered Asurion for any of my devices. Did you?
[Moto X Q&A] jayboyyyy:
this is more of a discussion thread fyi. but just because no one has replied, ill share my thoughts. I always use asurion mainly because of how easy it is. You can do everything through a verizon store (for me) and it makes it just too easy to go else where. I walk in, say my phone sucks, they say ok without doing much of any kind of checks because they don't care, then if it is manufacturer warranty they ship me a new one within two days (im not motomaker customer) and thats it. I am never without a phone. I never have to deal with a rep on the phone. They never ask any questions really at the store because the reps know its just going to get sent back to moto for manufacturer warranty. If i screw the phone up some how, you just let someone steal that thing and get a new one for 100$ within two days. Just never had a problem or difficulty with them so it makes using them worth it.

when i use the word new i mean replacement fyi. Since im not a motomaker customer they don't have to build a new one for me so i just get replacements, which i have never had an issue with either.
