[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Definitely use Better Battery Stats to figure out what the issue is. I suspect its the wifi problem that many of us have been having where the router keeps waking up the phone hundreds of times an hour not allowing it to sleep. Its a filter that Google messed with from Android 4.3 to 4.4.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B29Korn:
Hey Guys,

I just wanted to know if it is possible to play games on the Nexus 5 using an USB-Controller using an adapter and so on.

So a really simple setup. Does USB-OTG work on the Nexus 5 and is there any Controller you would recommend?

Also, does a simple USB-OTG Cable work or is there any external power needed?

Thanks in advance and sorry if there is already an thread like this. :)

Kind Regards

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erid2thed:
Does google or samsung post the rom source for GPE devices, like google does for nexus?

I ask because I could not find any source @ google's repo for this device, yet - i see people posting that they build i9505g roms from source.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
No. The GPE devices are not supported in AOSP. The ROMs and kernels are built by the OEMs, with support from Google. Samsung makes the GPL sections of the kernel available, but no ROM code and no binaries/drivers. As far as factory images go, those would have to be provided by Samsung and they do not provide them. I am surprised, however, that SamMobile doesn't have anything available.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erid2thed:
Thanks

BTW - i made a kernel for 4.4 roms on the m919/i9505g

dont have enough posts to post it here, but uploading source to github.

Been on it for a few days, and I like :)

MODS: can i post kernel in this section until I get enough posts? or do i need to wait before I post kernel?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] barojanas:
Hi all,

first wanted to say that it is a great forum.

I just came across it couple days ago, and there has been many things that I found here that improved my Qtek 2020i.

but there is one thing that i havent found in here.

I use tomtom 5.21 with a bluetooth GPS receiver. it worked fine until I bought a bluetooth headset. If im using TT to navigate and answer a call via bluetooth headset it works fine, but when i hung up the call, then Qtek looses connection to GPS, then picks it up again in about 10 seconds but runs with a big delay. I have to restart tomtom and then it is back to normal (quite annoying when driving thru town)

any of you have that problem??

thanks for help.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mr_Smoke:
Hi there,

My problem might be related : the device seems unable to use both the headset and the GPS (with TT) at the same time. I don't know why. I've got a Qtek ROM at the moment, I'll see if the latest O2 ROM with upgraded radio stack does any good.

See you.
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mr_Smoke:
Right. Just switched to PUG's .162 ROM with O2 stuff stripped.

Alas, it comes with Broadcom stack and there's no SPP inside O.o so I can't connect to my GPS ... Pug if you read this, help :)

Cheers !
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Joe Pinball:
seems strange: I replashed my stock O2 bloatware & buggy 169 Rom with pug's flavour, to give me the 162 rom and Radio version 1.04.

My GPS bonds fine tihe BT, and I can use TomTOm and a BT headset at the same time. Did you flash the Radio to the (far better) 1.04) when you upgraded the Rom?

I've heard quite a few people say on these forums that for Alpine, one of the most stable & speedy setups is the 1.10 WWE Main Rom, the .162 Pug rom with the O2 stuff stripped out, and the 1.04 Radio.

Joe
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] Mr_Smoke:
Yeah actually it works fine now. I made another post while I was looking for help, because the Alpine wouldn't find the SPP service when interrogating the GPS. I simply switched the GPS off and back on, and the problem was gone. I wish I'd tried that before the dozen ROM combinations I spent the afternoon testing :P

And indeed, I'm now running 1.11WWE/1.04.00/1.11.162 PUGS w/o O2 stuff, and finally TT accepts to work with the headset while using the GPS. What a trip !

Cheers !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Recon0212:
It's strange.

Sometimes when I reboot my phone, it will sit at the Samsung splash screen. Other times it will boot in with no problem. I have tried going back to stock, different ROMs, etc with no avail.

Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roboots21:
I used to have the same issue all the time on SlimBean. Since I've gone to 4.4 (CM11) and updated my TWRP to 2.6.3.1 (I think thats the latest) the issue has ceased. Not sure of the cause, but I had the same issue before.

Do you mean the wallpaper ?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ashish V:
Yep, in the browser, it shows that wallpaper on most screens.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Aphirodite:
if watermark only shows up in browser,proved that your phone is ok at least,problem is the browser,is it the original one in Samsung firmware?if so,maybe try to clean up the data of the app in setting or delete it and reinstall one?

Sent from my GT-I9305
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ashish V:
I already told that it is shown on most of the screens. Visible even in download mode/gallery/etc..

And, yes it is the original firmware.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
Can you change the wallpaper for home and lock screens ?

Try that to see if the water mark is still there
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Aphirodite:
Visible even in download mode/gallery/etc

That‘s very interesting, i guess it has nothing to do with wallpaper.

Probably issue caused by the screen, like some kind of deja vu

the photo looks like some kind of picture displaying by the phone when placed in market for selling

could it be memories of the screen?(:confused:)

Better contact with service center,This is not flashed-solved problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Raistlin1158:
Then it is screen burn or water damage, replacement is the only option...:crying:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ashish V:
But, if it is screen burn then why'd it show a perfect S3 with Samsung Galaxy SIII 4G written, with the quote etc.

And, I've 2 S3's with same problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] JJEgan:
Factory reset or and flash stock rom would be the first fix .

Problem across three devices is usually user error or its a fake .Its a bit like what is shown on the Demo shop model .

You need return phone to the vendor or take to a service centre .
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ashish V:

[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
Hey guys just wondering if there are any devs out there that can work on kernels. I think it would be awesome to have a kernel that includes dt2w. Anyone else as interested in this as me?
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
crparmer

not sure if i spelled it right.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
Yeah but I think he likes to keep thing as stock as possible.
[HTC Droid DNA] thayl0:
Not really it done a amazing kernal for cm 10.2

And I believe he is working on one for 4.4 kitkat cm 11
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
I know that but when people have asked him to add sleep to wake he didn't seem interested in that I'm not dogging him at all man he great no question asked.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Adding it takes time, adds risk to the stability of the phone and gives me no benefit. My phone is heavily locked down by my IT department and with a minimum 8 character alpha numeric password, the sweep or double tap to wake is not improving my life.
[HTC Droid DNA] Kauffman_c:
I love s2w as much add the next guy..... but try omnirom 4.4, and enable active display.... you might like it better.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
This is why i was trying to shout out to other. I know your work is the real deal man. Its just something I'm interested in. In no way was i trying to insult you.

I'm not sure what settings you use with active display but I'm not really sold using it. I like sweep2wake as well.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Okay, here's a dumb question... Right now we share the AOSP kernel source with the HTC One. Wouldn't flashing a custom AOSP kernel for the One work on the DNA?
[HTC Droid DNA] hyphydragon:
yeah some nice s2w like the old cubed kernel so you can do just "back to home" to wake it, its so nice i dont see how ppl dont want it of course unless they have some crazy circumstance like crpalmer just described

but we have a lot of diff roms so something like this would be rather difficult to choose one version of android for this to be implemented on or many kernels, lotta work it seems.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
Ask .torrented. He made a s2w kernel a few months ago. He may have a very busy schedule but if enough people ask he may do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
Yeah I Dont think it's that simple unfortunately.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I don't think one of those kernels would be difficult to port though. I'm just wondering what exactly makes the kernels different, because if you compare the CyanogenMod pages for the DNA and the One, the kernel source link is for the M7 on both of them. I was considering trying to port a kernel myself a while back, but I couldn't find enough information online about it... I think it may be one of those things where if you have enough knowledge of ROM building and git than you just intuitively know how to do it.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
Yeah I'm not sure either. If you wanted to give it a run for your money I'm sure palmer would give you some pointers. I would love to see a dt2w kernel!! Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I couldn't resist, I just had to try it. I figured the worst that would happen is I'd have to reflash my ROM. So I flashed the HTC one sti kernel here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507710 it flashed and booted just fine and everything works... None of the s2w dt2w features etc are working but it said it flashed successfully so I'm assuming it's running the kernel... I don't remember what it said in about phone before but it currently shows "3.4.10-CM-gbce7128 Robert @ minty #1."

Edit: yeah I'm pretty sure that's the stock kernel...

It was worth a try right?

[MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] would you be willing to give me some pointers on porting or building a kernel? I'm somewhat inexperienced with building, so I don't know if I should bother taking on a task like this.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Do not, really, do NOT flash a kernel for a different phone. The Linux kernel is setup to have the same core files across a huge number of devices but then have device specific files. We share the M7 kernel but we have different device specific files. These files control lots of things but the most important is determining what pieces of hardware are given specific voltages, etc.

If you want to try to build my kernel, you should be able to do so fairly easily. Porting the functionality will require some programming knowledge and some knowledge of git. If you think you can do it, let me know and I'll try to give you some first steps on building my kernel.

Porting a M7 kernel to our device might be hard. There is a high probability that they aren't necessarily keeping up-to-date on the changes to our device specific files. You'd have to figure out if they were and, if not, pull in the missing changes.
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
I wasn't implying anybody should ever flash a kernel not built for this phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
My bad. I quoted the wrong post! I just wanted to make sure it was clear that the same source is not the same as safe to flash because we have completely different hardware configuration. So, I guess it was good that I misquoted so that I have a chance to say it a second time!
[HTC Droid DNA] coachcrey:
OK right in man. Thanks for all the hard work.
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
I guess my post didn't go through... [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] what type of programming knowledge are we taking about? My knowledge is limited to some dsdt editing and supercollider... In other words, I'm definitely not a programmer but I understand the general concepts.

Edit: I'm not too experienced with git either but I have built cm10.1 From the source for my nexus 7 a few just as learning experience.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashedup:
Hi everyone,

some time ago I flashed a wrong sbf to my Defy and thanks to the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide

I'm running CM7 again with a version 5 CG, if I got it right.

So far so good. But now I need to update my ROM to be able to update some apps that won't run on CM7.

So what's the best tactic for updating this messed up phone? Just flashing any CM10+ ROM (I tried several ones) didn't seem to work. I always got stucked at the red Motorola 'M'.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,

Besides the fact that I can't go anywhere to do a factory reset as soon as I've updated to something like CM10, I do a lot of resets/wipes on my way to this state (see quoted guide above).

Use Defy full wiper/AROMA wiper to wipe system, data and cache with EXT4. Then immediately flash CM10 and gapps.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
For some users flashing DFP-231 helped.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashedup:
Thanks for the hint!

But this is a Defy+ sbf and after flashing I might not be able to go back, or not?

From the thread [Q] defy bricked, not even JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf helps :

If - for any reason - CM10+ does not work for me, I don't want to deal with these issues...

Or am I getting this wrong?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Well, it helped some people. You can't go back to 2.2 after flashing GB.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashedup:
Thanks for clarifying.

But I just decided to not mess around another time and will stick to my well running CM7.2 for this device. I found a workaround for my app-prob anyway.

This happened to me too. This is what I did to fix it. I was on windows 8 btw. I used wugfresh's toolkit to manually install raw drivers. If you do use windows just follow the instructions on steps to install them. You may use Mac or Ubuntu for I know lol. In that case I would search for those tookits. They may have similar method of driver installations. I used the composite driver that came with the toolkit and it worked right after installation.
