Laggy ?

Excuse my ignorance here, but "laggy" ?

My rooted Tab3 doesn't seem to show any lag at all ?

Is it the general consensus that 'rooted' devices experience lag ?
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cduced:
Agree. Probably meant the recovery app (cwm or twrp) is laggy which it is. I would guess the chip is in a power saving mode under the recovery apps and no one has figured out how to fix this. -- Bud

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sharingan:
brother i think your tab is hard bricked

you should try triangle away or a usb jig or take it to customer care

i hope your tab gets repaired
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android-Andi:
"firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies & try again"

It´s called "Black Screen of Death".

If you can see this screen:

Open Odin as Administrator

Choose a stockrom.tar.md5 as PDA - make sure: Autoreboot checked, Re-Partition UNCHECKED

Connect your Tablet to your PC and wait for Odin detect it

Press the Start-Button in Odin

If you are on Bootloop: Try to boot into recovery and make a wipe data/factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavan_4:
I'm from Sri Lanka and just bought a Galaxy s4 mini duos from a online seller.

There was a label on the retail box saying this phone works with American SIMs only.

Yet the seller mentioned that the phone will be unlocked.

The phone seems to be unlocked. No questions asked when I turn on the phone with local SIMs,

From the two SIMs the one selected to WCDMA mode works fine while the other one which has no option but to work in GSM does not get registered in network. I tried manually selecting the network. It shows a list of available GSM networks but fails to register when the required one is selected. On the other hand when I interchange the network modes on the SIMs the former one which worked fine in WCDMA signals, fails to register on GSM network while the latter one which failed to register with GSM mode, registers and works fine in WCDMA mode.

The SIM selected to work in GSM only mode, shows no network or Emergency calls only.

So the summery is phone does not let the SIMs to register with GSM network but allows for WCDMA network of the same operator.

I also checked, GSM reception is good in the area. Tried several other SIMs the result was same.

As the phone only allow one SIM to use WCDMA mode at once, I'm stuck to using only one SIM in a dual sim phone.

I'm thinking to return the phone. But before that would like if anyone here can help me with this issue.

Can it be due to a unlocking problem or should it be a hardware failure?

Thanking you in advance

A simple question: of every case available... Which one delivers best protection against falls?

I have a Nillkin Slip cover, but I'm not sure it's thought enough, given the number of broken screens I'm reading about in the forums.

the triple armor hybrid by far,to me, is the best cheap case you can get. its a ballistic replica. it feels real good in the hands and its protection against drops is perfect. i dropped my phone once on tile and nothing was damaged. have yet to drop it in the mybat.

my recommendation would be the triple armor.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1slow4G:
I've dropped mine with mybat case twice, once was purposely lol. Second was accidental, I was taking a little nap and had phone on my lap, dropped when I got up, both about tall bed height.

Of course imo probably neither of the two drops would of damaged phone if it were naked either, maybe scratch or two, but just thought I'd share.

ROOT + BUSYBOX for Grouper and Tilapia (Nexus 7 2012) with Android 4.4 (also other android versions work!)

This is my first contribution to nexus 7 community on xda, hope you'll enjoy it! :)

UPDATE: Now zip is working 100% ;) And system is auto-mounted.

This is a very simple method to root your Nexus 7 2012 with the new freshly updated android kitkat 4.4

The package is made by me and this is what it does:

- Install superuser binary

- Install busybox 1.21.1 and symlink all the applets

- Installs SuperSU (thanks Chainfire)

ME AND XDA ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED DEVICES

Prerequisites:

- Android 4.4 KitKat (or other previous and newer versions) STOCK AOSP installed

- Unlocked Bootloader

- Custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP)

- A grouper or a tilapia :P

DOWNLOAD THE ZIP: https://www.mediafire.com/?p9xp59zpscumtry

1. Download the zip from the link above

2. Copy the zip on the internal storage of your nexus 7

3. Reboot recovery your device

5. Install the zip from the recovery.

6. When installed, reboot and enjoy root on kitkat. ;)

THANKS:

- Chainfire

That's all! :good:
[Nexus 7 Android Development] IvanTSI:
Don't work, says that everything installs, but when you boot an try to use something that requires root says device is not rooted.

Doesn't work for me on 4.4 stock. Mounted system, installed with CWM and it says it's now rooted but when I start SuperSU it says there's no su binary,

Is this just root or root with ART enabled?
[Nexus 7 Android Development] Lopicl.00:
Yeah guys i am trying to make new zip fully working. ;)
[Nexus 7 Android Development] .torrented:
To mount the system you just need to add a mount system syntax to the updater-script before it writes to the system and then an unmount after its done, pretty easy to implement

Yeah i already did this. I am working on how to flash working su now.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frank Westlake:
It there a way to change or disable the USB 3 timeout?

When I change from the default connection type of "Media device (MTP)" to "Media device (USB 3.0)" a dialog warns that if there is no activity for 5 minutes it will be switched to USB 2. When I attempt a backup through the debug bridge ("%ADB%" pull /mnt/shell/emulated/0 "%storage%") the timer is apparently not tickled because 5 minutes into the backup the connection is reset when it switches to USB 2 and the backup discontinues. I tried it three times then gave up and just did the backup through USB 2, but it would be nice to have the faster transfer rate.

I have to do it this way because Android no longer supports USB mass storage.

[Nexus 4 General] MunkyButt:
So I busted the back glass on my N4. I don't have the money to buy a new back/glass piece. So, what I did was bought one of those Duck Tape brand sheets of tape for $1.88 at Walmart. Its basically just a big piece of Duck Tape (8.25 in x 10 in).

What I did was:

Took the back cover off of my N4, heated it with a hair drier, and took the broken glass off. Laid a section of the tape over the back cover, and cut it to fit. Put the back cover back on and boom! Redneck ingenuity at its best hahahaha

Here's some pics (keep in mind, its only one layer of tape and I free handed most of the cutting so its a little rough around the edges)

I had just got off work and I was tired and in a hurry, so chances are good I'll redo it a little better when I have the time.
[Nexus 4 General] Jeremy:
It's "duct" tape! And gosh does that look terrible. Haha. Thumbs up for a Sunday laugh

[Nexus 4 General] MunkyButt:
I didn't say it was pretty, but it keeps glass shards from getting in my fingers. And it cost $2, you get what you pay for. And its Duck Tape.

the most famous duct tape is the DUCK Tape brand. Thats why people call it duck tape. Like xerox
[Nexus 4 General] Mavasilisk:
I agree with you, with christmas coming soon and ur 2 kids, the tape will do the job for now. I suggest you a dbrand skin or even better, cuz your glass is broken and dbrand skin will not be very smooth because of the surface, you should get a Back Cover (check attachment).

EDIT: Leave the tape as is and just put the cover above it cuz the tape will keep the glass inside.
[Nexus 4 General] MunkyButt:
Oh, there's no glass left. Lol. I got it all off before I put the tape on.
[Nexus 4 General] fortunz:
Don't listen to the naysayers. Duct tape is better than glass if you ask me. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] MunkyButt:

Be weary of overheating, as the tape will not conduct heat as quickly as the glass alone did. Other than that, I think you have the first snapshots of the Nexus 4½

I'm gonna write Nexus 4.5 on the back, now. Hahahaha. And from what I can tell, it cools back down a lot faster when it does get warm.
[Nexus 4 General] gidal:
On the contrary, it will.

Otherwise, houses will have duck tape windows instead of glass. LoL.

Physics. Thinner = poorer heat insulator.
[Nexus 4 General] meranto:
I got the impression that the tape was applied on top of the broken glass. In that case my physics tell me that an extra layer of material means extra insulation.

On second reading, the glass seems to be gone and replaced by the tape. In that case, we should get some thicknesses and heat transfer coefficients for the given materials, but my gut feeling says that the tape insulates better, and will give overheating problems sooner.

Just to be sure and to perform a good comparison, I'll smash and then tape up all my windows for a few years and see if I can find a reduction in heating cost. I will report back!
[Nexus 4 General] MunkyButt:
Yes, all glass is gone, and like I said before it doesn't SEEM to be any hotter. I don't really do a lot with my phone either. Facebook, xda, text, look up stupid s*** on Google. So it never got too warm before.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wagi99:
Found this... Works Fix for Bluetooth and MAC adress:

For mac address:
- In /persist directory create wifi directory. In the new directory create a file named .macaddr (don't miss the dot!)
Edit the file and put 12 random hex numbers in it (0-9, A-F), save.
- Set execute and read permissions for everybody on /persist/wifi directory and change owner of .macaddr to wifi:wifi and permission to 660 (read/write for owner and group and nothing else). In command line:
Code:

chown root:root /persist/wifi
chmod 755 /persist/wifi
chown wifi:wifi /persist/wifi/.macaddr
chmod 660 /persist/wifi/.macaddr

- run /system/bin/conn_init program. Can be run in root explorer(choose Linux Script Handler when you open it), or in adb shell:
Code:

su
/system/bin/conn_init

Then reboot and check if the changes got applied in settings
