[Nokia Lumia 920] gorbehnare:
I wasn't very clear about the GPS function on the phone. My complaint is NOT the GPS accuracy and speed, but the fact that using GPS drains the battery while in use and reduces the battery life significantly even after quitting the application until the phone is rebooted. I apologize for not being clear on that.

I had suspected issues with the charger, and I have 6 different car chargers (ranging from 500mA to 2A outputs). I'm on the road all day and I drive different cars (2012 Mitsubishi and 2013 and now a 2014 Ford Fusion). I can verify that some chargers seem to work better than others. But I cannot verify that if the chargers work differently in different cars.

I also have my work laptop running and I have tried connecting the phone to the USB ports on the laptop with the same result. I have also used the original Nokia wall charger connected to 2 different digital inverters (110v AC, one is 150W output and another 400W, two different brands) and same issue.

In fact if I run a game such as Asphalt 8 on the phone while it is connected to the wall charger at home the battery still drains while playing the game (started last night at 95% charge and drained to 65% in 30min while plugged into the wall charger).

I'm pretty sure my issue is not with the chargers
[Nokia Lumia 920] pvt_nemesis:
In short, YES that is common behaviour when using GPS such as Here Drive

Perhaps this is regional accessibility of satellites?
[Nokia Lumia 920] Pedrorudi:
I've figured out that this issue it's not a problem of the charger itself.

It's a security system, if the phone gets too hot, the charging stops to avoid some kind of accident, like battery exploding (as we commonly see on Apple products charging with generic chargers). That's why the battery still goes out even if the phone is plugged in the charger.

When you guys be in a car, try to put the phone in a position that the Air Conditioner can blow the cold air in the back of the phone. The battery will last longer, maybe even it won't dry.
[Nokia Lumia 920] jh20001:
I know this is an old topic, but I wanted to mention this.

The phone *will* get hot and it will drain quickly while using GPS. Even if it is plugged in, it could still drain pretty fast if your charger isn't replenishing your charge as quickly as the phone is draining. The ticket is to use a good charger while in the car. I use the one here: http://ebay.to/1ExuLj6 [shortened link], and it keeps the phone in the plus while using GPS. Before that, I used a mediocre adapter and driving to Valencia, CA from Las Vegas, the phone died after 3.5 hours of driving rendering the use of GPS at that point....pointless. So good adapter = solid GPS use. The phone will still heat up though. There is nothing you can do about that unless you have it on ice ;)

Hi All

I'm looking for someone to help me with Acer Z3 (z130) phone.

There was OTA update on saturday which left me with bricked phone.

I boot ok, I can go to recovery but that's it.

There is no update image available to re-flash it - even acer support can't provide me with it.

There is option to do backup from app on the phone which save apps and data to a file on sd card.

I'm asking for someone to backup apps (not contacts or anything like that) and upload to some box or dropbox so I could try to restore it to my phone.

Acer agreed to "repair" phone but in the same time told me that any software issues are chargeable :).

Any help welcome.

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ironcladz:
Any idea on the video size that would be used on this tablet? I usually rip backups of my BRs and just wanted to see if anyone has tried different video sizes as of yet. Would the 1200 x 1920 resolution be acceptable? Hoping to get this tablet delivered this week and would like to get some of my favorite movies transferred over.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neodraig:
The best quality will the 1080p rips but the files will be huge.

The 720p will be good as well and the files will be a bit smaller.

But even with DVD rips, the quality is OK, you won't just take advantage of superb screen of the G Pad (but you'll save a lot of storage).

But the best thing would be for you to test the different formats and see what suits you the best.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] highlordkram:
The issue is because they updated the gear manager for the phone but not the gear software itself yet for the United States. There are fixes for this in this forum do a search for Official update for the Gear November 15, or look for a header with that in it. Basically the fix is putting the UK or British version of the gear software onto the gear and the notification start working again. You do not even have to route the gear to accomplish this. Sorry I'm too new to know how to post links to those articles but searching you'll find plenty.

I've been running it for about a week and although its a great little app, I've had a few freezes, or programs that refuse to close and require a soft reset. Might give it another week to make sure it is Magic Button and then try another task manager.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agnimit:
Hi Guys,

I am writing from Kolkata, India. I am looking at buying a new mobile phone with a budget of Rs. 22000/-

My requirements are :-

a) I am not much interested in much customised UI. I am okay with a plain vanilla UI as long as it's fast and stable.

b) The device should be fast and stable with no visible lag.

c) I will prefer a device with Dual SIM (GSM+GSM) for my Vodafone (3G) and T24 (2G) connections.

d) There should be an expandable memory slot (MicroSD)

e) The battery should last atleast 1.5 days under normal usage.

f) I should be able to play decent HD games and full HD videos (using MX player)

g) There should be ample developer supporting the device so that I can install a custom ROM in the near future !

h) I don't intend to use the camera on my mobile (neither front/back) and hence the photo quality is not a concern for me.

i) The display must be a minimum of 4.5 inch to a maximum of 5 inch please.

I know guys that the last is huge and all encompassing. However, I will like to have your input on this (even if I have to increase the budget a bit).

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siciliano777:
Does anyone know if an app exists that can "learn" IR codes from various remotes? By learn I mean you would point a remote toward the IR blaster on the N3 and hit various buttons, and the phone would learn each button in order to send the signal with its IR blaster.

I have a logitech remote that has gone to crap that had that functionality, but I don't even know if it's possible with the N3.

Anyone have any idea?

TIA!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisbass:
I don't believe it's possible. As I've read, that's a function of hardware and not something I'm aware an app or software can accomplish. My HTC One had that function but the S4 I had didn't.
[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
After reading and reading and reading I am officially stuck hopefully someone or [MENTION=4428363]stifilz[/MENTION] can help. Hoping that i just missed something after reading too much info.

UK Sony Tablet S region changed when ICS came out for early update from US. Decided do JB update yesterday the flasher V3 got up to the end of data transfer part and tablet froze up and all coms went. left it for a while but nothing. After a hard switch off it hung at the sony logo. Got into recovery and did factory reset to try clear any issues or so i thought. Still hung at logo. Downloaded various ICS files and renamed to update.zip and tried to reflash. They all fail with the E: Prohibit error, occasionally error failed to mount system1.

I've attached my recovery log if anyone can help sort this il be a happy man.

TIA
[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
After reading http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2433323 I am starting to think a lot of these topics go unanswered and point to a flaw in the flasher, my region.prop is also missing and can only presume the tablet requires this for an update and the factory reset removes the root so cannot push another .prop over. So for all intents and purposes the tablet be fooked. I really do hope I am wrong but if i am right then why is this flashing tool still available after so many screw ups.
[Sony Tablet S] dex9mm:
Well the screw up your are referring to is your own as if you had done your research you would know that trying to flash jb to the tablet s and not the xperia s will mess the tablet up as pointed out in numreouse posts and questions. so the reason people don't reply is that the questions have all ready been answered serveal times and the warings are there

and sony XTS rooted stock j.b thanks djrbliss
[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
I presumed I had done enough reading beforehand as the tool said Sony Tablet S so seemed the right tool for the job. I've flashed many things over the years and never screwed one up so this is bit of a shock to the system, My first reaction to your reply was to reply don't be smart then my second was to go check tool again, then third was ah f*#k. 26 letters in the alphabet and sony had to call the next model an S too. I cant say i keep up with tablet technology so thought they same thing pre flash,I didnt expect my tablet to be replaced in market so quickly after i bought one. Oh well lesson learnt now the question is wtf can be done if anything. If i send in for repair do they spot this instantly and try hammering me for a heavy bill to fix. Its under guarantee but they do say software issue they wont touch it.

I did read a lot about these problems but only reference i can find was today on page 36 of the flasher tool post. I blame mondays and my obvious lack of cognitive skills on them.
[Sony Tablet S] soilchemist:
Can it be fixed?

I read this article and made the same mistake:

androidadvices.com/sony-tablet-steps-update-latest-jellybean-firmware-click

I should have read the details better. I commented to the article that I bricked my device but it was apparently deleted...

The important thing I would appreciate knowing is if the tablet is completely unfixable. I just spent $150 on a new tablet but was hoping i could at least recover my tablet S and give it away.
[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
Now thats why i thought it was ok i read that site first too rather than here. Too much reading after the event not before. So who are these idiots at androidadvices.com? The advice below is from that site and is what got me to reset tablet. Now i'm even more annoyed at this.

Note: Just in a rare case if the device doesn’t boot up or show the home screen then long press the power button to turn off and then re follow the instructions.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Naming the file update.zip does not help as we can not see what is fully going on. Anyway it fails due to a messed up vendor. This would make sense as JB files would mess them up. Then it switches partition and that also fails due to vendor, but a slightly different error.

Anyway installing 0042 should work as they do not rely on vendor files. This is HoneyComb 3.2.1R2 and it is ROOTABLE. From there you can use flasher again. See my signature for links

[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
Hey thanks for getting back to me its appreciated. Tried all three files you sent link for. None worked it gives the prohibit/sku error. I've attached recovery files of each files attempt if you like to look at it. I've looked through a lot of your other posts and a few very similar ones as this and come to conclusion its damaged beyond repair and am tempted to use the warranty and chance my luck as its got few month left. Unlocked bootloader or the legendary files you have mentioned in another post would be useful but doubt we get to see either soon.

edit

Here's a shot in the dark...As tablet was originally a UK model and was changed for ICS is there any possibility that it has somehow defaulted back to UK and file signed-nbx03_003-ota-0042.001.zip would help. Its only thing i think ive not tried but cant find that version anywhere. Idea popped in head last week as there was a lot of reference to sku error being a region specific problem but then it went away until just now.
[Sony Tablet S] stifilz:
Sorry should have mention (but thought you would notice) they were the same file. Ok that is failing for the same reasons. Seems it is pretty messed up. You tried a factory reset yet? If not you may have some adb access on the boot logo???
[Sony Tablet S] nkxtc:
Here comes a rant

I did notice but i eternal optimist and sorta hoped they different files even though filesize gave it away plus I already had that file from your links in sig but wouldnt be first time a company names files the same but different regions. Factory reset did numerous times now.

Didnt realise could get adb from logo screen so got hopes up again when lo and behold there in device manager was MTP device. After couple hours messing with it and getting lots of errors saying no driver etc I figured out putting hardware id in different adb usb driver inf files (USB\VID_054C&PID_05B3&REV_0100) would give me a working driver or so I thought. The PC decided after few minutes to give yellow exclamation and driver no longer works. Persevered with it until got driver stable but from command prompt adb says no devices in list.

Now all this happened early hours since 3am so not having greatest amount of patience (4hours not bad) i took a huff turned everything off and said f@#k it ive had enough. This aint ever gonna work im resigned to this fact.

Now i may have not read one tiny part of the AIO tool which turned out to be biggest mistake i made in all this however for anyone else unfortunate to have a blonde moment would it not be possible to put some sort of checker in the tool to determine what is actually attached to be flashed based on hardware ID or something before any system changes occur. Having flashed many many devices from phones to consoles each and every one has a check of some sort before hand.

However putting that aside I think its disgraceful how Sony have treated this tablet and how locked down it actually is. This pains me but the £300 wouldve been better on a damn ipad.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
If you're installing a custom recovery then you have unlocked your bootloader which means your warranty is already void (If LG decide that you have done something to cause the problem). :rolleyes:

Im not aware of anyone bricking this (non-DEV version) phone, LG's download mode is pretty low level, the kdz packages also contain a boot loader so you would find it difficult to irreversibly brick this phone

This is getting ridiculous. So far, none of the AOSP ROM's have been able to support the front facing camera in 3rd party applications.

I understand that custom ROM's will always contain bugs but CyanogenMod is one of the ROM's many hold to a higher standard. Especially now that they've formed a legitimate company, you'd think the team at CM would fix a bug that's been listed in the JIRA for years now.

I'm really sick and tired of having to take the extra steps of going into the regular camera app, snapping a photo, then uploading it from there to my favorite social networks. It's a minor complaint but a large annoyance considering that the team at CM has now released a stable 4.3 variant of CM. This is something that should have been fixed a long time ago.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bzowk:
Hey Guys -

After being an iPhone / Jailbreaking fanboy for a few years, I got frustrated with Apple locking things down so decided to go the Android route and chose the HTC One. After purchase, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted the device. Over the past 2 months, I've also tried / used a total of 3 different Custom ROMS to see what I liked and to play. Most recently, I ran RumRunner to obtain S-OFF. AT&T is my carrier and obviously located in US.

Currently, I'm on ViperOne and about to flash Android Revolution 40.3. I'd really like to do some kind of factory reset if possible to remove all junk I don't need anymore. I read that HTC One has a factory Restore option here, but didn't want to try (or even know if it would work) with Custom ROM.

With that being the case, what's the best option to perform a factory restore of sorts for my phone?

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] clsA:
Both TWRP and CWM Recovery's have factory reset in the options before flashing a new rom. If your wanting to delete everything including the sdcard you have to go into advanced options and wipe the sdcard. Keep in mind you would do this step after flashing the new rom to your phone or else the rom will be gone as well and you'll be forced to adb / push or sideload a rom back to your phone to flash.

so in the correct order

download rom / copy to sdcard

reboot to recovery

choose factory reset ( this deletes /data and /system )

choose install / find the arhd.rom you downloaded

during it's install choose full wipe

when it complete don't reboot

go to advanced and wipe the sdcard.

you should boot to a brand new phone with ARHD installed

Edit: Make sure you on the most current recovery TWRP 2.6.3.3 or CWM 6.0.4.5 it's required for KitKat Roms
