[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneiderm3709:
Hello. Since my stock nexus 4 updated to KitKat OTA Exchange services has been using up a huge amount of my battery. I use the standard email app and have 2 accounts, a hotmail account and my college email. If I set these email accounts to sync manually, my battery usage is exactly as expected, but when I re-enable push, the battery usage of Exchange Services comes to the top of the list very quickly, and Email works its way pretty far up the list as well. I use my phone quite a bit, so usual battery life for me is probably about 8 hours, but my email brings it down to just a few hours. Is this a common problem? Or is there any way to better diagnose the problem?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcher233:
Here's my battery graph for last 12 hours, it mostly are standby, Display only consumes 20 minutes.

Android version: 4.4.1, Exchange service and Stock Email (2nd and 3rd) are draining battery somehow.

Do you guys have any other battery graph to share?

Hi All,

My friend has just bought a Wizard and I noticed that it has a nice little device lock application on the home screen. Does anyone know where I can get this little app

for my XDA II running WM 2003 SE?

Cheers,

Richard.
[General Topics] laxity:
Is it possible to rip this app from the WM 2005 Wizard ROM somehow?

I checked one of the EXT_ROM images I found but couldn't see anything obvious

in there. Could it be built into the main ROM perhaps?

cheers,

Richard.

We tried before to find the file responsible for this utility, so we could be able to bind it to a hardbutton and take it off the todayscreen, but no luck. No-one knows what file is responsible for this app. sorry guys.
[General Topics] ZeBoxx:
the registry points to "shutil.dll" - I suppose this is a fairly generic shell utilities DLL, but as there is no further 'entry point' data in the registry, just hooking that up as a Today item should automatically provide the required data ? Unless it polls an additional DLL, of course, but a resource explorer check of that DLL (if you can copy it) should be able to point any of that out?

I've been looking at Screen Protectors for the Nexus 5 & I came across the XTremeGuard screen protector. I've searched around and I can't really find no real answer to my question. My question or questions is 1. Are XTremeGuard's good? 2. I heard Wet Screen protectors tend to leave a residue on the screen after you peel off the protector, is this true/a big deal that can be prevented?

I recently root my lgog with framaroot i have root access amd all that jazz but the app wifi tether for root wont work i have the treve mod one cuz the regular keeps giving me errors. The treve one seems to look like its working but it keeps shutting off with a error message saying my phone regained control i attached a screenshot of the message
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Maestertk:
If you're still on stock, the built in wifi tether won't work, have to use a aosp rom
[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
I use " FoxFi" WiFi tethering app. Works great but make sure you set a password (my fave)! You can also use TrevE Mod WiFi tether, may not work with some roms though...( use the settings below for TrevE Mod App:

TREV E WIFI TETHER APP SETUP

Step 1. Download Wifi Tether TrevE Mod APK

Step 2. Open the Wifi Tether app, hit Menu button and hit “Settings”

Step 3. Press on “Change Device-Profile”.

Step 4. Choose “Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)”.

Step 5. Choose “Change Setup-Method”.

Step 6. Choose “Netd-Ndc (master)”.

Step 7. Choose “Send Netd Max Client Cmd”.

Step 8. You can set your wifi encryption and SSID here to whatever you’d like.

Step 9. Make sure either “WiFi-driver reload” or “WiFi-driver reload 2″ is checked on. If wifi tether fails for some reason you can change this to the one you didn’t use.

Step 10. Scroll down and make sure “MSS clamping” and “Routing fix” are both checked on.

Step 11. Turn on tethering by hitting the Wifi icon.

Step 12. You can check logs by hitting Menu button->Show Log. If you don’t see any errors you are good to go.

Step 13. Now, try connecting to your wifi tether using your computer or another wifi device. Once connected, it should show up under Access Control. (hit Menu then Access Control)

Step 14. Enjoy your wifi tether without paying carriers twice!

ENJOY!

I hope one of these will work for you!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RODKNEE1231:
Unfortunately i still get the same error do i have to be on a custom rom im all stock at the moment. Foxfi wont work it starts get to 2 and then nothin
[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
What Rom are you on (ZVB ?)....What carrier are you using?:confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Smyc151:
To fix this, turn off "Connections Optimizer" in Settings -> More... -> Mobile Networks-> Connections Optimizer.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] RODKNEE1231:
Im on stock zvc rom with root acces
[Sprint LG Optimus G] devo3d:
Apparently its your service provider detecting that you are tethering....What provider do you have (Sprint, Verizon)? FoxFi tether app shoud work....I use it on all my devices...If you already have FoxFi, uninstall it and reinstall it but be sure to set a password.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Smyc151:
Did anyone even try my post about Connections Optimizer? It's what you have to do while on stock.

When Connections Optimizer is on, your phone will randomly try to turn the wifi antenna on to "optimize" data. When it does this, it takes control of the wifi away from the tethering app. Turn it off, and this issue goes away.

I started a post in Troubleshooting about this....I can get TrevE's to work and I can download regular files but I can't download torrents and files of that nature....REALLY FREAKIN WEIRD!!! BUT - I can use FoxFi and USB tether but you have to install PDANET on your computer...when you download the app to your phone and connect via USB it will give you the option to download...

My question post in trouble shooting is labeled "How Do I Change WAP" settings...

I really believe this is the problem...

Tell me what you think and Try the USB with FoxFi..

I'm currently downloading and AOSP....ROM to see if it wifi tether will work on it...I'll post my results here...

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leecasey:
Hi, I was running the GPE Rom on my M7 and the 4.4 ROM became available OTA. I attempted to let it update but an error occured and now my device won't boot. Apparently there isn't a backup which I thought I had!

It's been a while since I did any of this stuff so need a bit of assistance.

What would be my first route as to getting my device up and running? I can get into ClockworkMod Recovery.

I'm guessing I have to use fastboot correct? Can I use Fastboot or ADB from within CWMR?

Rather than fire noob questions I'll await a response and go from there. Thanks in advance.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:

you can use fastboot in bootloader

adb in cwm.

[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I am merely posting this here for all those considering to go S-Off but haven't found the courage for it yet or just aren't sure what S-Off actually is. So to ease your minds a little bit I wish to explain S-Off.

For starters, S-Off and root ARE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS!

HTC has been securing their phones by locking the internal flash memory (NAND or eMMC)(eMMC in our case) to stop it from being written to, unless the file being flashed is signed by a private key only known to HTC. This is controlled by a flag (@ secuflag) and is identified as the device being S-ON. Telling the HBoot the device is Security Off (S-OFF) stops this check for the key, and allows us to write anything to any partition, which is what we are aiming for.

There are actually two levels of S-OFF. The Bootloader (HBoot) and the Radio. Getting S-Off on the HBoot gives us everything we need, but doesn't actually turn off the @ secuflag which is set in the radio - instead, the HBoot ignores it and therefore thinks it is S-Off, but this is not TRUE S-Off. It is possible to flash a HBoot that believes the Radio is set to S-OFF, as the HBoot is responsible for setting that flag.

Once the HBoot on the phone is S-OFF, we can write to all the partitions and basically do whatever we want, but it is possible to go one step further. Flashing a radio that is S-OFF and actually setting the @ secuflag to S-off gives us 100% total access to every part of the phone and it's software, as it becomes network unlocked allowing you to use any SIM and also allows you to flash a ROM from any carrier (known as Super CID). It also makes it practically impossible to permanently loose root no matter what you flash. Once you have radio S-OFF, it makes it much easier to flash new HBoots and ROMs even if you flash something that is locked down tight.

Setting the Radio to S-Off is not necessary, and gaining S-OFF on the HBoot is more than most people will ever need. Radio S-Off is just the last step of the puzzle, but it is worth noting that you can permanently brick your phone if flashing a radio or a HBoot, if either of these go wrong you will end up with a shiny expensive paper weight so there is risk involved. If this helped you in any way then feel free to click on the thanks button. Meanwhile, happy hunting! :)
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
To determine if you are S-OFF via HBoot or Radio you can do one of two things.

1: Go into fastboot and type

fastboot oem readsecureflag

If you get secure_flag with the number zero then congrats - you are radio S-Off

If you get secure_flag 3 then I am sorry, you are not radio S-Off. - your modded HBoot is ignoring the radio in regards to @ secureflag.

2: (I don't recommend this lol)

You can flash a stock HBoot and then reboot your bootloader. If you see S-On after already having S-Off then this means you were S-Off via HBoot. However, I would like to note that some HBoots are written out to prevent themselves from being over written so S-Off isn't lost, but this prevention does not always work and is usually patched by HTC relatively quickly.
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
Another note... If you do not have radio S-Off then the following fastboot command will not work nor will it bring you back to S-On:

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

Reason for this is because you are already S-On, but its being masked by your modded HBoot. So in this case, flash a stock HBoot and that will substitute for the failing command in fastboot ;)

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] JediSooner:
After restoring a nandroid backup yesterday, I ended up with screen flickering that I didn't have before the nandroid. I passed it off as something strange with the restore so I clean flashed the ROM and all was well. Then I couldn't get the network type to stick to LTE so I decided to restore a nandroid of ProBam form 11/4, which was also working fine at the time of the nandroid. After rebooting once the restore was complete, my screen flashed green with horizontal lines then went black and I haven't been able to get it to stay on since. I've successfully Odin'd back to stock MDB after re-partitioning with a PIT file via Odin and the phone boots, I just can't see what's going on because the screen is dead. Even with a dead screen it's not hard to get to download mode which is how I made Odin work. My question is... is there any way at all I can reset the flash counter prior to chalking it up as a warranty claim? Even though it's stock MDB now, I'm not sure if they might go to the trouble of replacing the screen to see the flash counter then void my warranty. Maybe it's not even that big of a deal. ? If I was signed into my Google account on the phone, I could install a remote control app from the Play Store and maybe see the screen from my PC, but I can't even get that far. Any suggestions?
