[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
This is an honest question and I'm genuinely curious. Why is anyone flashing ROMs on this beast?

On all my previous devices I have flashed ROMs (usually AOKP) because of the added options/features, and/or to change things like icons/notification bar/notification window hacks/etc, etc... and also to speed up the device. But on this phone that's all possible on the bone stock ROM (with root of course). I've never seen this many settings and possibilities on a stock device, and for the first time since my very first smartphone I've had no desire to flash a ROM. As far as performance I really don't see how it could get much faster.

I've seen countless threads where people are just messing up their phones and I'm wondering how it's all worth it. Granted, if you know what you're doing it's very difficult to brick in the first place, but regardless, what are the benefits??

Just an honest question don't be too harsh. ;)

Xposed has made custom roms fairly unnecessary in general. Some people just like that stuff built in though.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
Yeah I was thinking of Xposed in particular...it's incredible. I guess I could understand wanting those features baked in, but even then it's so incredibly easy to install and use xposed...I just don't get it. Aside from one single thing - finding a battery themer that works - I now have the phone looking and behaving exactly as I want it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yakitori2:
I flashed just to try them out. Personally Im still running a rooted/debloated/stock odexed MJ7 that is just modified using xposed framework and some modules. Stock has been the most reliable...fastest performing ROM for this phone IMO. I tried others and may still try new releases, but at this point...my setup works for me. Using GEL, and xposed framework, AOSP messaging, AOSP browser, hangouts with sms integration, Exdialer themed to look like kit kat...so I see no need to have a custom rom...I would end up doing the same mods that I have on my stock one....only difference is...no bugfree.

:good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginger man:
I've been flashing ROMs since my incredible years ago. I just don't feel right running stock anymore. Even if its just mental and I know I could get most of that stuff from xposed, nothing like getting rid of all your crap and starting fresh with a new ROM haha.

[HTC One X] aksap_atsiah:
Hi, I was just replacing the screen of my HTC one x, and after installing the new lcd flex cable, I turned it on to make sure it works. The HTC logo came up and shortly after the screen went dim. I think the backlight broke because I can see stuff on the screen under light. How can this be fixed? I checked the connection of the cable. Everything else works.

Thanks!

EDIT: I measured the 220 coil's resistance and it was at 1.6 ohms which is what I believe it should be?
[HTC One X] aksap_atsiah:
Anyone??

I found out that when charged to 100%, the screen is slightly visible and after a while of usage it starts to become dimmer and dimmer and later it becomes useless :(

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillyL:
I'm a newbie with smart phones. I'm coming from a dumb phone and just ordered a Nexus 5. Looking at Nexus 5 specs and stock apps, I don't understand why the Nexus 5 has an Email app and a Gmail app. Isn't Gmail, e-mail? Why does Google separate e-mails? I have Gmail accounts, AOL e-mail accounts and Time Warner (Road Runner) e-mail accounts. Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Gmail app? Can I send and receive all my accounts in my Email app? Isn't all e-mail, e-mail? I don't understand the separation. Is Google making e-mailing, unnecessarily complicated? Are some e-mail accounts blocked out from one app or the other?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 505dv:
The gmail app is only for GMail, and is highly optimised for GMail. For example, it has the tabbed inbox (General, Social, Promotions, Updates, and Forums).

The email app is for any e-mail (POP or IMAP). Of course you can use the email app for GMail through the IMAP feature in GMail, but you won't get the optimised experience.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knapz:
Use Email app to add all your email accounts.

But, if I were you I would start phasing out the AOL and RR email acounts and only use Gmail, this use only Gmail app.

I did this a few years ago and set an auto-forward on all my RR email. Whenever I would get an email sent to RR, I would update my profile's email on that account/service/website's. I now have one email and have the additional features that someone already mentioned above.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
I'm trying to track down some wlan_rx_wake issue.

My understanding is that what is supposed to happen is that multicast is normally enabled when a device is awake, or perhaps with the screen on, but when the screen blanks, or more likely the system suspends, the broadcom chip is set to ignore multicast

This allows the device to sleep peacefully without being woken up by local lan broadcast traffic.

Does anyone know if the stock samsung 4.3 kernel (J9/VIA) does this?

How about alternative kernels/roms - do any explicitly enable or disable this?

It may also be an app that has the multicast lock... but I've disabled all apps I can with this permission leaving just stock samsung apps that can't be disabled. I can't root as I need sky go. I'm reluctant to replace with non standard rom due to knox, but will consider it (I've replaced firmware many times on other devices inc. s3)

The reason I ask is on my local lan I was seeing my S4 (and note 10.1) have this wakelock active for far too long. I've now removed most broadcasts from the network (most were netbios related!) and this wakelock is well under control now (6 minutes out of 1:16 isn't bad). However I have the same issue in the office where I can't fix the lan....

One way or the other I have a suspicion this is an oversigh in samsung's 4.3 rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
I should say broadcast more generally....

So far the only mentions I can find are

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
More battery life tests and use of Better battery stats etc, along with network traces rather convinces me this is an increasing problem. At home I have some control over my network. at a place of work, less so.

Public wifi access points are usually ok as inter-device broadcasts are blocked. But home with uPNP, lots of devices doing arp requests etc is nearly impossible to manage - though I did cut mine down by about half. I'm looking at whether ddwrt could help with some filtering in a seperate wireless AP just for the phone/tablet!

The only real fix is for the device to implement filtering, which from the kernel source it looks as if it might but the only way to try for sure is either to root (breaking sky go) or do a custom rom (breaking KNOX, and possibly sky go). I wish I knew if there's some app/config causing my broadcast filter not to be active, or if it's a samsung kernel build choice.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
I've continued to see this across my S4 (4.3) and Note 10.1 (4.1) running official samsung roms. It's been frustrating as it equates to sigificant power drain.

My sons' nexus 5 / 10 does not show this issue.

A few days ago I decided to flash a port of OmniROM 4.4.2 onto my note 10.1 . Same network, same apps - the problem has basically gone. There is still some wifi wake time but nothing like the amount previously.

My guess is the omnirom/aosp kernel is correctly filtering broadcasts, or just maybe it's because it's missing some samsung bloatware.

Possible fixes on the S4 are more awkward

- Any rooting, flashing a non-official rom etc will result in a KNOX 0x1 flag. Not really an issue to me, but annoying

- Whilst I *love* Omnirom on the tablet it may not be stable enough for phone use yet

- The samsung S4 camera is very good. Much better than alternatives

My current thought therefore is to

- hold out for samsung s4 build to see if the issue is addressed

- If not try rooting and disabling all samsung bloat, and try alternative kernels (if any) on the TW rom

- if all else fails consider OmniRom or CM11 , or Samsung's GE rom (by this point KNOX will be tripped anyway)

ANy thoughts?

Anyone else seeing this issue?

Any kernel devs care to comment?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
So another check. Phone sat idle for an hour, of which 47 minutes was awake.

Apps did account for around 13 minutes of this - the big proportion being skype which I just installed earlier today. What a surprise. That's getting deinstalled (again), but most of the rest was just wlan_rx_wake ie the device being woken up to deal with packets. If asleep that should be minimal, as it is when running 4.4 on the tablet, yet it isn't - clearly samsung are not implementing the broadcast/multicast filter on sleep. AARGGH

I'm slightly bemused I see so few people mentioning this. Is it that they don't look? Don't care? Or is it just me......

I'd be tempted to do a complete reinstall... it would be a lot easier if I could easily backup (titanium backup or CWM backup) yet do either and I trickt the KNOX switch. thanks Samsung. Not. It's not a big deal as everthing is cloudified, but it would cost me a few hours getting things setup again, even things like the desktop layout ...

So is anyone using an S4 on 4.3 and NOT seeing this issue when on wifi (with multiple devices around) ? If so, just perhaps I'll try a factory reset, but I already did that coming from 4.2 anyway. Or perhaps you are using a custom rom/kernel and not seeing this or noticed it improved?

Still on stock rom, and still puzzling this.

Most samsung value add that can be disabled in a stock, unrooted rom, is.

Yet a wireless network packet trace (run on an attached PC) shows a significant amount of activity - not being *received* by the phone, but actually being sent

Packets like this show up around every second! Hardly surprising the device is kept awake a lot

24631	888.950873000	android-295fdb686877cc14.home	239.255.255.250	SSDP	167	M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1

M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1

HOST: 239.255.255.250:1900

MAN: "ssdp:discover"

MX: 1

ST: urn:dial-multiscreen-org:service:dial:1

In fact in 10 minutes idle this was pretty much the only traffic to or from the phone!

This looks very chromecast-ish -- which I don't have. presumably it's something screen share related from samsung -- even though no devices are connected/setup to cast screen

This must also be from a non-disable-able app - but I'm unsure how to categorically pin it down without root access

I've actually been here before on my note 10.1 - where my resolution was to switch to omnirom. That's less easy on the S4 due to knox concerns, and camera & other more esoteric features (spen is fine with omnirom on the note 10.1!)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
Went through trying to kill processes/tasks that I could (I'm not root) and nothing stopped these SSDP broadcasts.

Checked settings - no changes made any difference.

Played with adb shell, dumpsys, logcat & finally ddms - but no jobs.

Wish I could find out the process that is initiating these packets!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] planetf1:
An update.......

I decided to try one more time with the stock 4.3 BTU rom and did a full factory reset

WIth no google or samsung account, and no apps I had no wlan_rx_lock

I then configured google accounts (inc. gmail etc) with sync and added only minimal apps (zedge, chrome, mysms, kii keyboard)

still no wakelock issue

This would suggest it's app related, though by not configuring my samsung account (I don't need to) that could affect the way the bloatware works too.

Quite happy now! Wish I could take a "snapshot" backup. Of course that would need a custom recovery and break the KNOX flag. Oh samsung. that's annoying.

The plan is to leave it like this until after work, then to add tweetings & spotify. I'm going to slowly add apps back so hopefully help in identifying when (if at all) the problem reduces. Of course there could be a latent affect which would just be painful.

Annoying too I wasn't able to find the cause with adb, better battery stats, dumpsys etc without doing it the basic way.

My plan with VZW is about to expire and I'm ready to upgrade my GNex to a N5. I was just going to buy it from Google and go with the $30 T-Mobile Walmart plan. Then I heard about the promotion Sprint and Best Buy are doing. Basically you overpay for a phone and get unlimited T&T and 1GB of data for free or unlimited data for $10 a month. The N5 is one of the only phones it works out ahead for. Can somebody check my math? After the first year, you can just leave.

Original Plan: $350 for N5 + $30 a month for TMobile plan = $710 for first year

Sprint Plan: $450 for N5 + $10 a month for unlimited data = $570 for first year

The promo is only available in store at Best Buy, but at least I don't have to wait for my phone to ship.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ari6126:
It's not for a two year contract. You get one year free (or $10) and can leave anytime. There is no ETF.

"Sprint will send the account holder a text message 30 days before the completion of free service on the student's line. Upon completion of free service, the student line will be charged regular price for service for Unlimited, My Way ($70/month for unlimited talk, text and 1GB of data on smartphones ($50/month on basic phones with blocked data); additional $10/month for unlimited data, if applicable). To avoid charges, the account holder can terminate the student line by calling Sprint or dialing *2 from their mobile phone before the end of 12 months."

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moyer_34:
I've been doing the same calculation and am leaning toward making the jump, too. Here's the calculation I did (let me know if i'm missing something other than sales tax on the phone...):

Tmo $30 plan:

Phone: $350 (via google play)

Plan: ~33 (includes fees)

Per mo cost in 1st year (amortizing phone up front cost over 12 months): $62

Per mo cost in 2nd year (for just the service since phone was amortized above): $33

Sprint Free Student:

Phone: $450+$36 activation = $486 (via BB)

Plan: ~$15 (assuming i would need the $10 unlimited data. Also includes line fees/taxes)

Per mo cost in 1st year: $55

2nd year: $70, though I'm not really comparing this for the time being.

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

For the first year, this nets out to a savings of about $74 when you amortize the phone cost. For this vs Tmo you get: unlimited talk, >5GB data, and a phone in your hand via best buy instead of waiting 4-5 weeks; at a cost of needing to swap lines at the end of the contract if you aren't cool with paying full price for Sprint.

Assuming all of my numbers are right, the two deals are shockingly close to being equal for the first year. For me, I'd probably end up with some overages with the Tmo 100 minute cap, so I think I'm going to go for the Sprint deal for now, but this is hardly the no brainer I was expecting before I ran the numbers. The game changer is the Nexus 5 itself: dual compatibility with CDMA and GSM make it possible to swap between these two services without taking another device hit to the wallet. That flexibility is really nice.
