[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
ok my phone just bricked after flashing omni and it bugged out...went to odin to flash back to stock now stuck in a constant loop...im having a hard time following your guide and houw to use the debrick stuff....have also tried heimdall as well....got this error flashing the debrick file

Downloading device's PIT file...

PIT file download successful.

ERROR: Partition "primary-boot" does not exist in the specified PIT.

also if it makes any sense ive manually and properly flashed every file from stock jb via heimdall and still wont boot up...no errors on flashing them via heimdall...just not booting up...farthest it goes is splashscreen (initlogo.rle) on a few occassions but never to the boot ani....any suggestions is appreciated... and as stated im not fully understanding the dd code and how to apply it properly to boot all these files from external sd so i have working phone again
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] chuckiev79:
I wrote the debrick file to a 16gb sd card on my computer with win32 diskwriter. Then I put the card back into my relay and was able to go into download mode. From there I flashed a cmw.tar. file.(can't remember where I got it) then phone was able to be booted up. I had to go back into recovery and reflash modem and bootloader, so that phone could boot without that SD card, but then all was and is well. I hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
tried all the above...still nothing...after flashing debrick file via win32 imager program and flashing cwm via odin or heimdall its still a no go for me...on the plus side...i may be getting a new (used) one of ebay if i can pool enough in donations

Ok this was the file name of kernel that bricked my relay. I was looking at several and drinking soooo. But if you see this filename stay away.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarros:
Just got my N5 last week and I'm having some battery issues.

Battery life seems to be just fine when I'm at work (after 8 hours, it's only down to 85% or so, with minimal use). However, when I'm at home, the battery drops off rapidly. It was down to 25% after just 6 hours, also with just minimal use.

What gives? I haven't changed any settings. It looks like my signal is weaker at the office (2 bars) vs. home (5 bars). At both locations I leave WiFi on and can connect to the local network.

I checked battery settings now (at home) and Google Play Services is using 30%. Not sure what it was at when I was at work.

Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
I don't know this for a fact, but I was having a similar thing happen to me. I disabled Google Now (for testing purposes) and my "Google Play Services" on the battery list had lowered. The Google Play Services was not what was using most of my battery but it went down significantly. Do you have that enabled? If so, maybe try disabling that feature and testing it to see if it helps. Having that enabled will pull your location constantly and something small like there being more businesses or things to visit around your home it may try and pull info more than when you're at work.

Also, surely you had the right of mind to make sure GPS itself is disabled in your OS? Are either of the routers you use, at work or home, dual band as opposed to single? Have you tried restarting your phone when you get to work initially to make sure it connects to a closer cellular tower?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarros:
Thanks for the quick response. I had Google Now running, so I'll try disabling it and see if it helps with the battery. Google Play Services is still running at 30% under battery settings (and Android OS at 18%, Screen 17% - same as before).

Maybe it is something to do with the router? I'm pretty sure my home wifi router is single band (Linksys WRT160N). Would single band greatly decrease the battery life? I have no idea what we use at work. Something Cisco, I'm pretty sure, but don't know how old it is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FourPointedFreak:
Well the biggest thing is dual band provides a signal over a greater length than single band. So if something like Google Now is running and you're connected to a dual band router, it'll suck more power and info at greater distances. That's all I was referring to Plus with dual band routers you will get a better speed depending on your internet provider so typically people do more because their phone responds faster.

Try it for a few days without Google Now enabled and it should make a difference, at least a little.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trendiggity:
The other thing to keep an eye on is your Mediaserver process. Some apps will keep it open, which keeps an ongoing wakelock. So even if your device is "sleeping" (you're not using it) it's actually awake and chewing up battery. I have a couple of games that I have noticed this with and am now in the habit of closing the app out instead of just switching apps.

Predictably mediaserver shouldn't be anymore than a few % through the day, but it's kind of random how much it affects the battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Everything is a shot in the dark without a BetterBatteryStats log. Head over to the app section and grab the beta.

It could be the router. You say you can connect to the wifi at work and at home, but do you?

Please attach a BBS log to your next reply. Give us at least 2-4 hours of data to interpret.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarros:
Thanks for the help. I installed BetterBatteryStats and have attached the two log files. Hopefully you can read it, it looks a bit garbled when I open it with notepad.

It looks like the top kernels at home are:

wlan_ctrl_wake (): 45 m 20 s (2720 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)2053/56/2053 20.2%

radio-interface (): 32 m 46 s (1966 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)1972/7/0 14.6%

wlan_wd_wake (): 26 m 26 s (1586 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)12433/230/0 11.8%

While at work they are:

PowerManagerService.WakeLocks (): 15 m 25 s (925 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)665/59/0 6.5%

wlan_ctrl_wake (): 11 m 2 s (662 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)189/88/190 4.6%

wlan_wd_wake (): 2 m 57 s (177 s) Cnt:(c/wc/ec)2477/60/0 1.2%

Again, I don't change any of the settings on my phone when I go to work. I connect to and access the wifi network at both locations (both show the up/down arrows by the WiFi button in the menu).

Any thoughts on what this means? It's time to do some googling...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
There are no partial wakelocks. Make sure your BBS is the latest beta, and enable root access through advanced settings.

Set location services to device only. Then pull an overnight log (not using the device - use BBS custom ref point), and we will go from there :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarros:
OK, it appears to be MUCH better after setting location to "Device Only". 87% after 2hrs idle instead of 70% before. :good: Still not quite as good as when I'm at work (where both the wifi and cell signal are weaker). I've attached a log file from the past two hours.

Hi Aerowinder, could u help have a look at my BBS log and see if there's something weird? Thx. Google play services seem to eat a lot of battery from my Nexus 5, especially when it's on wifi.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarros:
I thought I had this issue resolved, but since yesterday it has come back with a vengeance. (any way to check what system changes took place?)

I've attached a BBS log from the past 3 hours.

Here's what I've done so far:

Turned off system backup (which really helped cut down data usage and save battery)

Turned off Google Now

Location services are set to Device Only

Google play store: turned off auto-update apps AND Notifications

In the last 2 days data usage for Android OS went up from almost zero (and I had great battery life at the time) to 17.5mb (ALL BACKGROUND), and I have no idea why.

This morning I tried uninstalling Viber, and I turned off facebook notifications, but neither of those helped.

Any ideas?

Ive got the S100 and have two questions.

1. Is there any way making the camera saving all picstures in the same folder? Right now its generating anew folder every day.

2. When I receive a MMS it doesnt connect with the contact list, wich means I dont get the name of the sender, just his/hers number. When receiving a SMS it will state who sent it with name taken from the Contact list.

All help appreciated!

1. Doesn't seem to be be any fixes on the folder save issue
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GKill:
there must be some registry tweak! I saw one in this forum, done it, but have no results...

After day-by-day using the camera, I have realise, that it is very comfartable. I mean the different folders every day - pics doesn't mixing.

relax, man, and enjoy!!!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 6thElement:
You could install the latest version of the camera software, that allows you to customise how it names the files and whether it puts them in a new folder. While you're there you could try the latest version of the MMS software too, to see if that helps.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/Extended_Roms/MDACompact_NL_1.13.125/

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] cagio:
And after you have installed the new version on camera (that don't create any folder, but save directly in /My Documents/My Picture by default) use this reg trick to save the picture where you want:

From a post that I've found in this forum:

"Get you're favorite registry editor (i use phmRegEdit) and go to the following key: HKLM\SOFTARE\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\Image

You should find an empty value called "SaveFolder". You can change this to whatever you like (even invalid paths but it must be able to get created by the camera app). So if you set it to "\My Pictures" the pics you take will be stored in

(Storage Card)\My Documents\My Pictures\(some dated dir)\(somepicname).(some extension)

as far as i could see the SaveTo DWORD represents the storage location (0 = \My Documents, 1 = Storage card)

What i'd like to have is a tweak that does not create those nasty long dir names... just store the pics in "\My Documents".

Regards,

Fossalta

[Edit] You can do the same trick for the /Video key [/Edit] "

Can you uninstall the new app?

To uninstal... hmmm... maybe you must install the original camera .cab???

I have installed the rc28 camera and it gives total sh*t to today screen... I can't describe it... some kind of traces of launched apps remains and there is no wallpaper... I've perform the Hard Reset.

ADVICE: DON'T install it!!!!

I don't know about the RC23 or RC28. I installed the patch by ampda (which is newer than RC23)

And the camera is great, you can take shots in landscape or potrait mode plus the snow problem is fixed as well.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] NiklasM:
What CAb did you install? There are some few that all regards the camera..

And does anyone know what the original version of the MMS prog is named, and where I can find it?

/n
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] O2mini_noob:
There are individual patches but there is one cab that incorporates the patches and update the camera version. File is called

ampda_CameraV2.7b21026_RAM.CAB

copy the CAB file to your \windows folder then run it on your handheld. Then make a backup copy the file \windows\camera.exe

The CAB will create a file called camera27b21026.exe or something similar in the \windows so rename that file to camera.exe

And there you have it.

For the MMS, will be something like this file on your EXT ROM

There is no way to solve the problem of saving all the pictures in one folder?? i have compared two reg settings (RC28 & Original) but seems there are no relevant differences.

Maybe it's the camera.exe that save in a new dir day by day?

and if i replace ONLY THIS (camera.exe of RC28) ?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] GKill:
When I installed the rc28 .cab and test camera, it saved allpics in My Pics. dir without any other folders! Try it to replace, like you said... maybe, in this case will be no problems with today screen (like I has)

Basically I'd like to know if there is a way to compile cyanogenmod with SELinux completely removed. I cannot get my MIUI port to boot when based on more up-to-date versions of cyanogenmod that have SELinux committs. I can compile CM from source, but I don't know how (or if it's even possible) to remove it completely. Any help would be appreciated.

[Motorola Atrix HD] penser:
I don't believe it's possible to remove SELinux. It's an actual part of Linux. In previous android versions the option was just hidden/not available to users.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Papahyooie:
Hm. That's odd. Because the later builds of cyanogenmod 10.1 "added" SELinux according to their changelogs. Maybe I just read wrong. But still, according to CM even the SELinux that is there is disabled, so if it was there all along then I'd be able to just disable it (which is completely possible) and go on about my business but that doesn't seem to work.

You could drop the ISO to 200 instead of using 500.

But you got no shake in there at 1/8s (going by the text on the box and cans ), which is good.

Do you use the dedicated camera button or touch to focus on the screen ?
