[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It happens off and on for me. There is no rhyme or reason for it. Some days I get great battery life and some days this happens and battery life sucks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gryphie:
Guess something on Googles end. Lots of people gotten it today, on many different phones. I got it on both my motorola xoom and nexus 7 today, never happened before.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sydius08:
I've had pretty bad battery life since like 2 days ago. I think Google is pushing something out that's causing all of us to get bad battery life. They were supposed to release an update on Nov 13 and I don't think anyone's got it yet
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreii:
Had this same issue on my Galaxy S4. Exact same thing. Totally random.

I've had excellent battery life on my Nexus 5 every day...until today. Google Play Services is the culprit.

I wish Google would hurry up and fix this...but considering it's been an issue for a long time now...I'm not that confident we'll have a solution any time soon.

You can reboot and uninstall and clear cache all day long...it may go away temporarily, but it will come back.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudoe:
I have the same problem but not with Google services. Until now it happens with the processes mediaserver and Android OS.

Closing any program by swiping it away does not help.

Only a restart seems to solve it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drzplaya1121:
I read somewhere this is caused by turning location services being turned off.

I could be wrong but it's worth a shot
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjpallares:
I'm using a note 2 and used to have the Google services wake lock and I can confirm that turning off location services will work with fixing the wake lock. However im pretty sure it is needed for full functionality of Google now.

Maybe also try just turning off the WiFi and mobile data location.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prawnguevara:
So yes Im having same issue like many who knows what Google are up to here. They're up to something with this.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowMango:
My nexus lag when playing asphalt 8, when I go to YouTube I saw people with nexus 7 2012 playing it smoothly, I downloaded the Tegra Overclock app, in the core count section it showed that only 2 cores are active, I selected 4 and there was a noticeable increase of framerate and the cover is less hot when playing games so I think normally my nexus uses only 2 cores and they heated up pretty fast while other 2 cores do nothing. I hope this help people that have the problem like me
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heatledger:
could you post a link for the app in the play store? is it tegra overclock or tegrak overclock?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
I had lag at first. Then i cleared about 4gb of storage and then it ran smooth...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowMango:
it's tegra overclock not tegrak
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heatledger:
OK thanks

And which ROM/kernel are you using?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicyalan:
It is quite normal that only 2 cores are active.

Most games only use 2 threads, making the extra cores useless during gameplay (well, not totally useless. They can still do some stuff sporadically like syncing without interfering with the game).

My nexus 7 also runs asphalt 8 quite fine, but it starts to drop framerates drastically when it gets hot.

If I compare this with my other devices:

- An S2 drops framerate after 10 minutes of playing (but less noticable compared to the nexus 7)

- A Note 10.1 keeps going on full force. And even if it goes into a thermal slowdown (after 1 hour of playing!), it is not noticeable (even here 2 cores are disabled during gaming, the 3rd or 4th core only come online when something else is happening on the tablet, like an incoming mail notification)

Could it be that overclocking makes the Nexus 7 hotter, making it to go into thermal protection quicker (and actually slows down the device)?

Can you try the device without overclock?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YellowMango:
I'm using stock and I didn't overclocked it

I really don't know, cpuspy shows that the cores clock at 1200mhz way more than before

Glad that I tried though

I have a UK purchased O2 XDA exec, but now live in the USA. The O2 XDA exec is supposedly unlocked for any sim cards (I have been using a Virgin sim in the UK fine) .

I purchased a PAYG USA T-mobile sim that won't work, anyone got it working, or if I need a different kind of sim?

As soon as you put in the sim, it comes up with incorrect sim message.....

Is it possible that O2 could have it unlocked to European or UK but Locked to USA sim? Strangely there does not seem to be any way of putting in an unlock code in any case.... it just gives the incorrect sim message..............

Hopefully it will work with another sim???!!!

Any help greatlt appreciated!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chetccox:
I have a qtek 9000, which was never locked. I live in Poland, and tried 3 sim cards from plus gsm. They all gave the same message you are getting. The only card that worked successfully was the plus gsm 3g sim card. Also, cards from another company worked. There seems to be some difference in 'new' and 'old' sim cards, and the universal is very tempermental if you don't have the right one.

I have an O2 XDA EXEC from the UK which I purchase from a friend and have him sent to me here in the US. I am using Cingular without any problems.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] heliosfa:
Remeber guys, Not all operators in the US use the same frequencies/sim types as their European Counterparts.

If the sim is trying to operate on a frequecny that the universal is not able to use, then it might cause this problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] techDot:
superseagulls:

As far as I know - a device which is SIM UNlocked cannot be locked to specific SIMs.

It is far more likely that the cellular operator that you have purchased your new SIM in the USA from is using different frequencies than are supported by or in some cases selected within your device;

OR (possibly) the operator puts some usage limitations/locks within the SIM - ask your new operator about using GSM devices which are not purchased from them and which frequencies are used.

I suggest you initially ask them anonymously in case they DO have problems with devices other than their own
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] shivafool:
jasjar on T-mobile

I am using a jasjar on T-Mobile in the USA. I got 3 phones on a family plan, took the SIM out of one to put in jasjar, and it has worked with no problems. I told the sales lady I would be putting the SIM into a 3rd party device, and she didn't see any problem with that. It was a Motorola phone, but I don't have the model number offhand.

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Southern_Man:
Your PAYG sim might be looking for special settings on the T-Mobile phone. When I workjed at T-Mobile UK we tied the Java extras on the SIM to the handset, so if you used a non t-mobile handset you didn't get the extra features.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] flashyphotos:
You probably have an old 8k or 16k SIM,

Is it more than a year old,

The XDA Exec etc all require the latest 32k SIMs to work,

You should have no problem with T-Mobile USA just explain you need an updated SIM for a new phone
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
I have the same problem with Optus, Australia. Anyone know what frequency they run on?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AdmiralAK:
Frequencies:

USA/Canada GSM 800, GSM 1900. UMTS 1900. UMTS 800

Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Oceania: GSM 900, GSM 1800, UMTS 2100

South America: A mix of the above

The only SIMs which look for specific firmware in the US are TracFone and Net10. The SIM probably needs to be replaced. This is aproblem in other newer phones too :)

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] snake2243:
so I purchased the 32 gig nexus 7 2013. all is well and i am enjoying the 32 gigs of space (technically 27 gigs if you know what i mean) but one day i decide i want to put kitkat on my tablet. I rooted my tablet and installed a nice pre rooted kitkat 4.4 on my tablet. now for w/e reason my tablet and computer tells me i only have 9 gigs of available space. BULL****! This is a 32 gig tablet there is no way that kitkat installation took up that much space. So then i went and did a internal SD card format. It wiped everything and "bamb" I had my 26 gigs, I went about installing a few apps and before i know it my computer tells me i only have 9 gigs available....what gives? how is the rest of my space all the suden being occupied?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] iPWNtehNOOB:
I had this problem once on my Galaxy Note, and it turned out that the ROM was spamming thousands and thousands of error messages into a log file - to the point where after only a few minutes after installation, the 16GB was full and I was receiving low space warnings.

Try a different ROM. Better yet, sideload the 4.4 OTA and then root it yourself.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Joppykid:
Is it telling you that you have 9 out of 27 available or just something out of a max of 9? If you backed up your device before installing the rom that would take up a few gigs but probably not 18 of them. Unless you did several back-ups. Best way to see is to goto the storage tab in settings and it should tell you what's taking up the space. Then download a file manager and look for files, make sure you know what they are before deleting tho!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] t_hacker:
Mine bumped from 16g to 6g. Back up first and factory restore from settings, your memory should come back as normal. Or you can flash stock & unroot in wugfresh, though you will have to re-root if you do that. The updated wugfresh includes a warning about this issue that pops up after you flash stock and unroot.

Hi!

Frnds, I jst wanted to know that how can I root and unroot my Samsung Galaxy Star Pro gts 7262 without using a computer.

I need ur hlp.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chetan21:
Dude just found this new exploit that works like miracle on my S7262XXUAND5 firmware.

U will need odin latest version 3.09

recovery image(recovery.tar.md5)

Supersu apk

In this method u edit your build.prop to patch kernel due to which white screen issue is occuring.

1. Put Supersu apk in extsdcard of ur phone

2. Boot in download(odin) mode by pressing power+vol. down+home and leave power button when samsung logo appears after that press vol. up to enter dwnld mode.

3. Connect your phone to pc via usb and open odin.. it will show added when successfully connected.

4. flash recovery file by clicking on pda and selecting recovery.tar. md5 file.

5. Press start and wait ur phone will restart and wait until pass appears on odin.

6.Shut down phone again then press Vol. up+Home+Power button leave power button when logo appears.

7. Now As kernel is not yet patched the recovery will open but white screen will appears to u but it is actually cwm recovery up and running in background

8. Now as u cant see cwm u have to write these instruction on a page which I am about to tell or save them

Press vol. down button one time

Then power button

Now u have entered in install zip from sd card menu

Now again press power button now u have to choose zip from sd card u

press volume down 2 times and then press power button

Now u have selected supersu..zip

Now press 5 times vol. down and then power button

Cwm recovery will flash the zip

Wait for a minute or so and u will have installed supersu app.

9. The hard part is over now take battery out then put back in and start phone normally.

10.When phone is booting it will display android is upgrading message at boot it means phone is rooted and su binary is installed

11. Now phone is rooted. Install root explorer and open system/build.prop

13 Remember to mount it as R/W and grant superuser access.

12. to open build.prop long press on it and choose open with Text Editor.

13. now change ro.product.model to Galaxy S4

14. ro.product.brand and ro. product.manufacturer to Samsung with Capital S it would be small then save changes and restart phone.

15. Voila kernel is patched permanently ...

16.Enjoy.

I want to flash my phone to something faster and smoother. I have found some roms that I am interested in however I want to make sure I do not brick my phone.

During the tutorial videos, I keep hearing must have ICS modem instead of Jelly Bean. Currently I have the official GB27 (4.1.2) software on my phone. With that said, do I need to flash my phone to ICS? If so, how do i flash my modem? Do i download the modem and flash it via Odin?

I already have Odin Mobile and custom Roms downloaded. I also download a few clockmods as well.

Let me know if i need to download anything else or it is safe to flash my phone with the current software.

The rom I am considering is Wild for the Night...

Thanks for everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bilgerryan:
Yes you will need an ICS modem for that ROM, you can either flash it in recovery or via Odin on your PC. Mobile Odin will not flash modems in this device... And for future reference, ALL questions and help go in the Q&A section. Also make a nandroid backup before flashing anything.
