[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Do you by "using it for nearly 5 hours" mean 5 hour screen on?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowBlazeSheff:
If by that you mean I've been using it for 5 hours straight then no, but screenshots should show info you need, I did use it a lot though but not heavy usage I haven't even attempted watching videos a lot or even play games as battery would probably drain much quicker lol, my BlackBerry Z10 had a better battery life as this and I was using it for the same things except with more things on such as mobile data etc
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Just wondering what you expected ;)

My S4 use about 1% standby per hour and about 25% browsing, phone calls, music during a full day (24 hours).

The rest (50%) is used by screen and gives me about 4-5 hours screen on. I think this is pretty normal.

I do not necessary see anything abnormal in the image you posted in post #3. Your screen took the most ... 74%!

Abnormal or not depends on how many hours your screen was turned on, level of brighthess and what kind of connection you used during those 5 hours ... 2G, 3G or 4G?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowBlazeSheff:
Level of brightness was just one bar above lowest so very very little, my screen wasn't on constantly I have a15 second timer so went off sometimes and I didn't use it, only connection was WiFi, 2G maybe for calls or texts or is that for internet only? I don't know I had Mobile Data off, the only option that was on was WiFi, every other thing was off
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maanz "L":
Well, if u think u need the phone to be checked, please do so.

I read somewhere that in recovery, after u restore yr rom backup, there is an option to 'fix root' if u're using Philz Recovery to remove root (maybe I'm wrong, but give a try).

The other way I know is to reinstall stock unrooted odex rom.

When u have done the replacement, let us know.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowBlazeSheff:
Just got my phone back from repair, battery is still draining unusually fast, they said they repaired it and put latest software on which should remedy the issues, but the software is the exact same as the one I had originally had, I don't know what to do anymore
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acer4605:
Normally when you buy a new phone you let the battery discharge and you charge it after for about 10 hours and you repeat this 2 or 3 times in order to get a good battery.

However Samsung shipped a lot of phones with a bad battery who is swelling up loosing a lot of juice in a short period of time. rebooting the phone without any reason and hangs on startup logo unless you put the power cable in to charge your battery

go to your dealer change the battery under warranty and check again how your phone is reacting to it's new one

hope it's not the case for you but you'd better be safe then loosing you phone due to an exploding battery

Good night.

I have a question for all who have the Xperia U and JB can not install due to "Bootloader".

What if someone who has the JB makes a backup installed CMW and hands it to me to me that I have the bootloader locked? Will it work, or there will be a break?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
I've been using an aluminum bumper frame case for a few weeks. It's sleek and stylish, however I've noticed what seems to be weaker signal strength when it's applied. I was recently experiencing outages in my area, I thought these issues may be related. After removing the case signal indicator & dbm is more consistent & higher. Also ping / latency times are lower.

I am wondering if anyone's experienced anything simular with other cases or aluminum styles? Could such a thin frame case obstruct the signal?

Also does anyone know where the antenna is located in the Xperia Z Ultra? I searched, but was unable to locate accurate info.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
The Wi-Fi Tx/Rx antenna and GPS antenna is located at the top of the unit (middle right).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tredonkulous:
I'm running 4.3 and kind of getting tired of waiting for a root method other than vroot. So I might as well use it. I just have a few questions for people that have used it.

- Does it show a custom boot animation?

- Can you receive OTA updates?

- Can you completely unroot?

- If you unroot will the boot animation go back to stock? (From what I've seen and heard there is a custom boot animation but I wasn't sure)

- Does it wipe your phone/delete everything?

- Does it void the KNOX warranty? (0x0 to 0x1)

For the most part I've heard some answers here and there and they were not clear enough. I would like to know from someone who's done it and what their experience was like. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Quentin.Sheley:
1. Yes it does

2. I'm on MJ7 so I couldn't say for sure

3. Haven't tried it yet but while I was attempting to root there was an area that appeared to be unroot, don't mark my words

4.

5. Does not wipe

6. Not that I know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
I'm only going to attempt one question on that list.

At this point presume that rooting will cause OTA to fail, minimally you will lose root.

I say this because the files they check are getting more encompassing.

When I went from ME7 to MI1, no problem, rooted and retained root.

MI1 -> MJ7, can't update rooted unless you jump through a couple of hoops.

Presume those hoops will get tighter and tighter as Verizon tries harder at every update to hold your phone hostage.

I'm not going to MJ7 because tethering is now difficult at best and all the hacks that allowed Google Wallet to work, don't work anymore.

Tablet model: GT90x​

I bought a tablet a few days ago.

I Rooted and installed Busybox Installer. Well After that my Tablet Rested it self and now it going to factory Defaults each time I turn it on.

-Whenever the Tab restarts it just looses all settings and starts like it is started for the first time, with all those first time tips and default settings. Even all apps are gone.

-All Apps suddenly vanished (Were installed in internal memmory, no sdcard used)

-If we try to install the app again using google Play, then google play hangs, does not install the app.

- If we go into settings->storage, the first internal storage shows 0.00Bytes

I tried to do: Factory Reset the device, Hard Reset the device, Restart insanely several times

I do have ADD installed but I don't know how to switch busybox over from /system/xbin and find busybox.

Move it to /system/bin

I can't Install Apps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anti77:
Faulty busybox installation. Easily fixed. Try to connect to the device using ADB, and navigate to folder /system/xbin. See the busybox file there. Now that you know what to look for, use search...

GT90X

Hello:

I am new in this forum from Spain.

I have the same tablet (GT90X) but it doesn´t work.

How can i do a hard reset with buttoms?

Thanks and regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
I bought a Qtek 9000 a couple days ago and I'm pleasently surprised. I heard all the bad stories about the MDA PRO, O2 Exec, ... so I kind of feared the worst. But I took a chance and bought it anyway and the Qtek doesn't seem to be as bad as the other versions.

It does ring when I get called and the ring isn't late. I didn't notice any difference with my previous phone. So that's positive, I didn't change the ringtone on the other hand, so I don't have a large mp3 as ringtone.

Second, it is stable. Haven't had a crash, hangup, program error. Nor does it crash when I receive a SMS. I have received about 10 SMS'es though, not alot i know. The device is pretty snappy, I never have to wait a few seconds when opening programs or changing the screen-rotation. Also when I bring it back from standby, I don't have to wait at all...

I did a soft reset after setting the regional settings and the phone has been on for allmost 5 days. No major RAM issues, although the free RAM is shrinking, stopping applications in the memory-settings does free up some RAM, but not all. When I first booted the device I had just over 30MB free, and it has slowly decreased to about 18-19MB. I haven't installed any extra programmes on it.

So I might consider a soft reset when it reaches 10MB or so. But my question is, is a soft reset bad? Because you can't really shut the device off, you can only put it in sleep/standby. So rebooting it like a normal pc isn't possible. Does a soft reset damange any programs, settings... that's my main question. :-)

Also, what's the best way to keep the battery in top-condition. Charge it when it's at 20% when the device tells you to charge it. Or charge it when you can, because it doesn't matter when you charge...

And one last thing, MSN Messenger doesn't draw the conversation window that well... Sometimes the part of the screen where your received/sent messages are shown is really small (about 3 lines high) and there is a large whitespace under the field where you type your message.

Thanks a lot to the guys at this forum for providing me with the most reliable info about the device, so I knew what I was getting. :-)

Emmerman

PS: I ordered a Brando Screen Protector Plus, any comments, things I should know before I put it on the screen?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
This is a good post to read first: http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=32218&start=150

Here you will have an is\dea of what to expect between a QTEC and an O2 NEW ROM version have to offer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
Thanks for the link, but I wasn't really looking for a new ROM. As I'm quite new to the Universal, I prefer getting to know the device itself better, before I start doing the more 'professional' things. :D Besides, I don't have any major issues with the Qtek ROM at the moment.

I just wanted to know a little more about soft-resetting the device and how to charge your battery for best longterm performance. Because I find the manual quite minimalistic. :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
To soft reset: YOU RETAIN YOUR SETTINGS.

1) Just press the small pin hole found at the back of the Universal right beside the USB plug.

To hard reset: YOU LOOSE YOUR CURRENT SETTINGS. BACK TO FACTORY SETTINGS.

A) Method One

1) Go to Start.

2) Go to Programs.

3) Go to Clear Storage.

4) Type in the code: 1234

5) Press YES.

6) Wait for the automatic reset.

B) Method Two

1) Press and hold the two keys with this mark (-) at the same time found at the top most part of the keyboard.

2) While pressing these 2 keys, press the pin hole found at the back of the Universal for 1 second.

3) You will notice a reset and a blank screen will appear.

4) It will prompt you to either press X or 0.

5) Just choose which one you prefer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
1) No, a reset both hard and soft does not damage your Universal. A soft reset to clear out the memory is good to speed up things better.

2) The best way is to leave it charging for more than 16 hours the first time. Unplug and use it till it drops to around 15% then charge it fully again, this time it does not need the 16 hours. Just wait for the green light indicating a full charge. After following these first two, just keep it plug-in before going to sleep at night making sure you got a full charge for the next morning.

3) I don't know about Brando's screen protector but I used Proporta's screen protector which included a wipe cloth and a screen spreader. I've had my screen protector on before I started even charging and using my phone. Another tip is to use a small peice of tape to take off some dust or specs that might have stuck on the screen before applying the screen protector. Sometimes even with the wipe there are still dust residues. You can also use the tape to clean the side of the screen protector that is going to stick on the screen.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
Isn't a soft reset similar to pushing the reset button on your desktop? So couldn't you loose cached data that is in the RAM, because it wasn't written to ROM yet?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I had never lost any data after a soft reset. It free up unused memory that was being kept by the system for faster processing. Plus WM5 has persistent memory now. May be that was the difference?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
So in fact, you can't shutdown a Qtek? You can put it in standby modus, but the phone is still working then. And resetting it, is just rebooting it. So if you want to take out your SIM card, you have to take the battery out while it is actually running?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Jackar:
You actually can turn you device off, with a little help of some small programs, like PsShutXP for example.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
Hmm, thanks for the info. I will look into that one, but at the moment I'm still very hesitant to install any third party applications on my 6-days old precious. :)

One other question, does the led blink orange when you receive a SMS. Because now it doesn't, it blinks green, like normal. But I seem to remember the first I got it, it blinked orange. Or am I confused. :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@emmerman

You are right you can lose data. I have lost emails and other users have reported loss of WEP keys etc. But I have never had this problem with Symbian devices.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
Can anyone answer this one. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Go to Start>Settings>Sound and Notifications>Notifications Tab>Choose the event you wish to correct.

The changes in any settings never occurred on mine nor any type of freezes. Something I am glad about. :D

What I did when I first turned on my device, off from the box or right after a hard reset, was to go through those settings and made sure they are all configured the way I want them to notify me. This is the only difference I could possibly think of why others have disappearing settings on notifications.

You can flash again the stock firmware or you root your phone make a backup in recovery and replace your camera.apk or how it is called with an other one which is working. I dont know if this with replaceing will work.

Tipp: if you would flash all again or repair in pcc, root your phone and make a backup of your apps with titanium backup(you will need much less time because you dont have to install all apps again. :)

Do not like this at all (and I love my Otterboxes). Currently I have tried the Spigens (OK build quality but none were keepers) and I'm using the Caseology which has good build quality and solves a few issues I had with the Spigens) until I find something comparable to a Defender.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] AntwanL:
As bad as it sounds this and work are the only reasons I'm looking for a rugged case. Otterbox has been my "go to" case but they're getting lazy recently with their commuter line and now not even having a case at all for the N5 is forcing my to go elsewhere.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] Watcher07:
I've used several Otterbox Defenders and Ballistic cases, the Ballistic cases have consistently been higher quality and lasted much longer than any of the Otterbox Defenders. Ballistic makes excellent cases if you need that high level of protection. I don't use them anymore as I'm not climbing telephone poles and crawling under houses anymore, but I always had great experiences with them.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] krabman:
Personally I like the size of the commuter, tough case, etc. Pretty darn good protection but still user friendly. Seems like some of you are unaware that some of us with bigger hands actually prefer to bulk up the phone a little because it sits better in our hands.

As to this one I had been considering it but I'm leaning more toward going to Seidio and getting one of theirs. Had one back on my N1 and thought they were ok, if not so good as the tough case which has become my go to case but unfortunetely will not be made for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] ryoen:
Protection Ok, but with this case, NFC would probably work, but forget about wireless charging, it wont work...
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Kennypete:
I wouldn't go around saying "It won't work" unless you have the case and actually tried it.

I have the Acase Superleggera on my Nexus 5 and it works great with a wireless charger. It's really thick like the Ballistic with a silicone core and hard plastic shell. I was able to charge through the Ballistic case on my Nexus 4, so I don't see why it wouldn't work with the 5.
