[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsasuke:
Hello everybody, i have seen some people with lags on stock 4.4 on nexus 4, the AnTuTu says it too, the score was 17k in 4.3 and 15k in 4.4 stock. I'm getting lags in some games and somethings in the system... will Google solve this with a new update? Or i will need to root and use a custom rom?

Thanks for all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
There is no lag.

Stop using antutu, it doesn't work with KitKat yet. In fact, just stop using Antutu.

Make sure you flash the official stock google firmware using fastboot method, it have the correct GPU driver. Some AOSP roms have poor GPU performance. You might be getting thermal throttling when the device heat up, you could install a custom kernel to disable thermal throttling.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsasuke:
I was in stock 4.3, then i unlocked my bootloader using the command "fastboot oem unlock" and i click in flash all at the 4.4 stock folder. Then it installed all good, the lags are not big, but u can see that is different, a little bit lagged in the movements.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
i agree with u, i think they are trying to figure out these random errors(Like these lags,wifi speed that some ppl have problem) b4 they make it as OTA. thats why still only factory images(i think).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyokeun1234:
I personally have no lags (at least not as bad as 4.3). I'm having a really nice time with it. I did, however clean flash it and didn't restore my apps (completely starting over) which might be why
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
No lag here... Not sure which people u talking about.

[Moto X Q&A] jeff5891:
i was recently rooted and successfully flashed the recovery through fastboot but when trying to run install the 4.4 update i get an error message during the install. i tried to completely wipe the device but im having a problem flashing the system.img. when trying to manually flash the system.img in fastboot on windows 8.1, i keep getting an error message where fastboot stops working. anyone know what to do?
[Moto X Q&A] waiflih:
try to use fastboot in win7 compatibility mode (right click -> properties -> compatiility)
[Moto X Q&A] jeff5891:
That stopped it from crashing but the flash fails. The phone says the package is too small
[Moto X Q&A] waiflih:
did you try with mfastboot? i really don't know what's the difference, but in other threads they suggest that. A link was posted in one of those threads:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9qC3vvamytkSVp0NXhlSEhZVFU/edit?usp=sharing
[Moto X Q&A] jeff5891:
Yea just got it from another thread and it worked. What is the difference with mfastboot? Edit: nm you stated you don't know.

Running the install for the update now hopefully it doesn't error

Edit: it worked thanks for your help
[Moto X Q&A] waiflih:
yw, i'm charging the phone to flash the vzw :D
[Moto X Q&A] Jelps:
I used mfastboot to flash system and boot, but when I tried flashing recovery I got the error preflash validation failed. Any help with that?
[Moto X Q&A] Tanknspank:
same. trying to flash it with mfastboot ended up with a failed flash for me and wouldn't boot. got it going again, but still without a recovery. hopefully somebody who has experienced this also comes along.
[Moto X Q&A] alex94kumar:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2534438

so that's the problem you're having?
[Moto X Q&A] Tanknspank:
not to that extent, no. My device works fine, I just can't reflash recovery to have the update pass through.
[Moto X Q&A] piccit:
Worse comes to worse you could try RSD. That should restore recovery. Just make sure you RSD with the correct fastboot files (i.e. the ones that match the version you are running)
[Moto X Q&A] Tanknspank:
Tried, but couldn't get RSD to recognize my Moto X on Windows 8.1. I can access my X through fastboot, adb and storage but it will not show in RSD to save my life. Tried compatibility modes, older versions... just about everything short of another computer which I wont be able to try until my roommate gets back.

EDIT: I can honestly say that this worked, and with a combination of mfastboot and the recovery.img from the latest sbf, I'm updating along just fine. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47635914&postcount=10
[Moto X Q&A] Jelps:
If for some reason that doesn't work out this is what I did and was able to at least flash recovery. flash partition gpt.bin flash motoboot motoboot.IMG flash boot boot.img flash recovery recovery.IMG flash system system.IMG *not sure if motoboot is necessary. Still got an error trying to install though. First 410 and then 252. Ugh.

No gonna hopefully sort it out at the weekend.

Do you have the solution to my problem?

[HTC Desire S] #Fear:
If you believe the issue to be software related,

-try a different player from play store.

-does it happen when playing youtube?

-have you tried a different earphone, same outcome or the issue was different with each earphone.

-try setting a different notification/ringtone/etc

You could try a hard reset.

*hard reset will cause all data to be lost.

Cheers

The speaker and media output does not work with anything it must be hardware or something but I do not know how to access that.

Has anybody been able to change the long duration for the stock keyboard? Love the keyboard, however it takes way to long to get the comma, question mark, etc. Searched for a few methods on here, but nothing has worked.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
I want this change badly as well. It takes way too long to get the punctuation. I know swiftkey let's you adjust this but I love this new Samsung keyboard so much I don't want to leave it.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] supers2k:
The stock keyboard sucks the dictionary doesn't even suggest new words added
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TheChefSLC:
there is an xposed framework file that can change this timeout.

I rooted the phone, installed xposed, unrooted

works great!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Techweed:
Do you know which module I need to install? I had Wanam installed but didn't see it anywhere.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] TheChefSLC:
It is called

First, hell has frozen over and MotoX on Verizon is first to get KitKat update:

Next, it appears that google wallet now works on verizon due to the HCE (host card emulation):

https://plus.google.com/107538503004482952974/posts/gGLCABEfS96

So, we should theoretically get all this soon on the maxx. Yay!

Wow. Still in denial.
[Droid Ultra General] SupremeOverlord:
That is fantastic news! I have been looking forward to start using Google Wallet... just need to find retailers that accept it.
[Droid Ultra General] opt05:
Yeah, Best Buy is the only one that comes to mind.
[Droid Ultra General] jarrettv:
We have pharmacy, gas stations, grocery stores, target, and fast food that accept it in my area. I've only tried it at kangaroos and wal-greens but it was weird paying with the nexus7.
[Droid Ultra General] bwheelies:
Surprised at the lack of action in this thread. Has Android development and modding become dormant?
[Droid Ultra General] SupremeOverlord:
Yes.
[Droid Ultra General] jfriend33:
No. I thought the same thing coming from a Galaxy nexus to the razr maxx hd then to the droid maxx.

You have to realize this line of phones is only on one carrier. And for me, the phone just works. (with xposed framework of course).

But I would never dismiss the idea of needing more development.
[Droid Ultra General] robbyrobaz:
Excellent. Hope it works. I have the Maxx now but I did get Google wallet payment with NFC working on my galaxy nexus. Loved using it for vending machines at work, convenience stores, etc.

BTW the ISIS app says I can't use it because I'm rooted. :)

I can't get the NFC for Wallet to work it finally installed from the play market but anytime it put it up to the reader ISIS app opens.

[Motorola Atrix HD] lolmaoroflcoptersaurus:
So I tried flashing CM 11 on my atrix, which was already running CM 10.2. I absent-mindedly forgot a few things, and it got bricked.

I first tried flashing ATT-4.1.1 firmware with RSD lite 6.1.5, but that didn't work like the last time I bricked the phone. I'm guessing because it's impossible to downgrade firmware.

Then I tried flashing CM 10.2, but it didn't have an XML file like the stock firmware does, so it can't work.

What am I supposed to do?
[Motorola Atrix HD] lolmaoroflcoptersaurus:
No one is willing to help?

Is it possible to revert back to the jellybean version I was using before flashing any custom firmware? Maybe I got the wrong stock firmware, because it doesn't seem to be working. I get "Failed flashing process. 1/23 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin" > phone returned FAILED

Also could it be possible I lost root after the CM 11 flash failed?
[Motorola Atrix HD] devilsking:
Did you unlock your bootloader?

If you did, you can try Myth Tools to reflash stock firmware. :) Hope it helps.
[Motorola Atrix HD] lolmaoroflcoptersaurus:
Yes, bootloader is definitely unlocked

I'll look into myth tools again. I used it to root and unlock this phone a while ago.
[Motorola Atrix HD] lolmaoroflcoptersaurus:
Ok it took me a long time to figure it out, but here's what I did, for people that might be experiencing the same problem.

1. Installed android SDK

2. installed JDK 8

3. Put latest CWM.img and JDK in platform-tools folder

4. Opened up command prompt, typed in file path to platform-tools folder

5. Flashed CWM

6. Rebooted into recovery

7. Installed CM 11 from zip card

8. Rebooted

The problem was I forgot to update my CWM, and also that I tried to install CM 11 from cmupdater instead of recovery. I didn't do a proper wipe either.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
I'm really frustrated with my Desire, I been tested differents ROMS in two years, not because I needed new features, but because I only wanted a modern and functionally UI like the one of Android 4.0+, but everytime I got thousands of bugs...not a single ROM was bugfree with the Camera, Videos never really worked and so on.

I can't really stand more this situation, I just want a bugfree OS... should I come back to the Original Sense (sigh...) ROM?

Try mildwild's redux v14 ROM. It's kitkat themed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
It seems a nice ROM, but I'm afraid to do again the same error: install a ROM and then found so many bugs that make everything an awful experience.:rolleyes:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
I'm pessimistic but I would give a try.

Right now I got the Cyanogenmod (doens't receive an update since months...) and I need to wipe everything. But this time I got problems to get into the Recovery Mode (tested with volume-down button and power button but doesn't work)...how can I do that?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try power down+ back button, then select bootloader, then recovery.

Mildwild redux v14 doesn't have any known major bugs. Try it, trust me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
The first impression is good, the reaction time is another world in comparison to the Cyanogenmod.

However, I just found a first big problem: I can't log to my Google Account, it puts automatically the [MENTION=222739]google[/MENTION]mail.com (even if mine is [MENTION=5499064]gmail.com[/MENTION])...I tried to force it with username@gmail.com and only username + password (double checked) but I still doens't found it correct.

MildWild

+1 to abaaaabbbb63 suggestion. Besides, MildWild has an Oxygen based ROM which is very light in resources consumption. MildWild 5.0.

Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
I have been tested the ROM for all this time, and I'm really disappointed... the first impression was good, but after some experience I'm again frustraded with the Smartphone. Auch with Mildwild there are all the type of Problems: bugs, screen not responding, error messages, impossibility to answer some call and so and so on...

The everyday use is still a bad experience that I would like to avoid. There's no hope to find a REAL stable Rom or I should really come back to the original from HTC? In this case, what should I expect?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
up
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingdong3000:
The lack of response saids it all really. I've been using Mildwild-14 for a month or so and its by far the most stable rom for me.

If you want everything to work you should learn how to cook a rom because you seem not so satisfied about any roms. If you had no problems with the original rom by no means go back to it..

I'm sure original roms have more bugs than custom ones so good luck choosing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeykong1:
Maybe your Desire just doesn't like custom ROMs. I had one like that. Just return to stock and you should be fine
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saker10:
MildWild is by far one of the most stable roms you can find for a Desire. I did have a Desire for almost 3years and had this ROM and had absolutely no problems with it.

Sounds like a cliché but make sure you wipe completely everything before installing anything new. Yes there are times when your phone just "jacks off" and it's for absolutely no reason, Desire is a senior, and no longer n.1 smartphone. You got to remember this. If you are experiencing this on a daily basis with many roms and you are totally sure it's not your fault, then it's just your phone. It got old... get rid of it or get used it :) cheers !

btw. my Desire is still working !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSid:
Thanks for all your answers.

Yes, I have done the complete wipe before install any type of ROM, but everytime I got some kind of problems.

I can remember that with the original Sense ROM I didn't got all those type of bugs...but right now I wondering if the new apps still works with the old Android OS. Someone use the Desire with the original ROM right now?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
GB AOSP ROMs are generally the most stable for the Desire, so those based on Oxygen rarely if ever had stability issues for me.

Are you using a partition with these ROMs, and how did you create it? Should be done with gparted or 4EXT recovery only (not minitool)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruno.unna:
MildWild 14 vs. MildWild 5.0

I have tried every MildWild ROM since I don't remember when.

Recently, I gave MW 14 a try, and it went mostly ok. Only problem? After a while (3 or 4 days), the calls became muted. I mean: I was able to hear the caller, but he/she wasn't able to hear me. A reboot would temporarily fix the problem, but not knowing whether you will be able to answer your next call or not is not something I could stand.

So I went back to MW 5.0. It is sort of an attractor, for me. Every now and then, just for the sake of injecting some innovation into my old desire's veins, I switch to some other ROM. But I always, invariable, after only some days, keep returning to the oxygen-based MW. It is, in my experience, the most stable ROM ever for my device, not to mention that it's very light in resource consumption.

So, MattSid, if you haven't tried MW 5.0, and if you have the patience to try one more ROM, try it.

On the other hand, I believe yours can simply be a perceptual issue. When I buy some new device, I always see it shining, wonderful. Marvelous. Magic. And that memory sticks to my brain, so nothing can compare to it. But if I, trying to be objective and true to myself, compare that to new developments, age shows up. Try you original Sense-based ROM. Perhaps you won't find it as beautiful this time as you recall? ;)

Uninstall some? There's plenty you can do, read around to know how. Change kernel, use a faster governor, change your rom, uninstall garbage you don't need, etc...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lifeatabhi:
If you are on the Stock Samsung ROM and haven't rooted your mobile, then go to developer options and modify the animation values

1. Settings-> developer options-> and Window animation scale and Transition Animation scale -> change both of those to 0.5x (or 0 for both, for instant reactions). This will give you some speed.

If you want even faster ROM, you may have to root your mobile and flash a custom ROM.

I tried Cyanogenmod and it is very fast. You may not experience any lag. Note that you will lose some Samsung provided features with it like Svoice etc. They have a stable release 10.1.3 ie. jellybean 4.2.

This is based on my personal experience and there are plenty of ROM's to try in the XDA. Try reading forums, reviews from the other users and make a decision.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marek_l:
Try CM11 by temasek. I'm using it. It's much faster than stock firmware.

Yes, that's the same link that I got the patch from.

Maybe someone can try it out and post back results?

Actually, just read the text from the link and it quotes the following:

"Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection. Rather, it is a tool that allows you to enable the wireless network after you are already synced with the PC (e.g. with a USB ActiveSync connection)."

Perhaps not what people were looking for after all...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cizake:
Did not find a way to make it work.

Also their download page states :

Please note that AirFix is not designed to allow ActiveSync over a WiFi connection.

As I doubt they have a solution...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] HectorV:
You can sync over the air via GPRS or WiFi to an Exchange Server without a problem, I do it everyday; to a PC I don't now if it's possible anymore.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Beeble:
The Airfix app is designed to prevent active sync closing your current wifi conex, nothing more. This will allow software developers to debug network code and allow you to keep a wireless connection whilest you sync. Most home users will use activesync passthrough from their pc->internet rather than wifi-> internet and so notice no difference
