Quick update in case someone bumps into the same problem.

I just got back from the repair shop. The power switch was indeed broken. The technician replaced it with a new one and the phone works fine one.
[General Questions and Answers] mem5449:
I just downloaded and installed [ROM][21-01-13] ICE DS v 8.0 FINAL[Sense3.6][4.0.4][14.01.401.2. It does not Voice Dial from headset nor have I found a way to turn-off vibrate on call-connect (have tried changing in dialer app and OS).

Anyone have any thoughts on this version and above mentioned bugs. Anyone got it to work right?

well another thread where i need opinions lol

i'm pretty unhappy with rogers (which is gsm and offers no ppc phones just blackberry and MAYBE the 700W in like forever) right now and am very tempted to switch to telus (cdma that offers the 6600 and 6700), i heard the reception isn't as good but i don't do a ton of talking on the phone anyways and i'd be using it more to watch movies and screw around with at work or on the plane. so telus has the audiovox 6600 and the utstarcom 6700. the 6600 i can buy from a buddy of mine that works at bestbuy for cheap (not sure how much the discount will take off yet, but probably a fair bit), the 6700 im told i need to get a dataplan but a friend of mine said he *****ed through enough people and somehow got on a pay as you go plan. unfortunately bestbuy doesnt sell the 6700.

now i guess most would assume the 6700 would be better but would the 128mb of ram on the 6600 be better for playing movies and ****? and from what i've read isnt 2003SE still kinda faster than WM5? but i've also read numerous threads talking about blue angel headaches with upgrading to WM5... I guess having WM5 isn't a huge deal to me but it'd still be cool to have it's features like picture caller id and not have to worry about bluetooth bugs w/ wm5. oh and i'd also like to use a headset pref. bluetooth instead of having to pull out the big bulky pda to talk.

so after my big essay i guess i'll simplify it, go for the 6600 which would be far cheaper than the 6700, and have to do all the ba hacking and upgrades, and semi-functioning bluetooth in wm5, or spend the extra money and get the 6700 which doesnt have a whole lot of support for it right now.

the reason why im asking is cause there's barely anything written about apache here. thx a lot for your input
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
I'd personally go for the 6700 because

1. Old software is being converted to WM5 compliant continuously and ost of the existing software is (already) WM5-compatible. (Also see my WM5 compliance reports at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&cat=51 if interested.)

2. you can use the 128M RAM to its full potential very rarely. Most applications simply can't use the additional RAM - please see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/in...work_with_really_large_images_in_pocke&more=1 for an example of them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] torchwood0829:
My phone is acting really strange. It turns itself off and then on again and again in this cycle as if the power button is always being pressed.

I can sometimes get into my recovery (CWM) but when I try to go deeper into the menu. I get kicked back to the main screen as if im pressing the power button to go "back" until the phone gets completely turned off again.

I noticed something too. When I pull out the battery and put it back on. The phone turns itself on without me even pressing the power button. Then the cycle continues again.

Very frustrating. :(

Could this be software, ROM, recovery, partition related or does this sound something hardware related?

EDIT:

I think this guy is having the same problem as me. Weird.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jazzmoe76:
I am looking for a Rom with a few specific items. I need wifi tethering and either inverted gapps or at least inverted mail app.(not gmail) What I am finding is that 4.1.2 Roms have tethering but none have inverted apps. 4.2.2 has the ability to invert the email via the black out updater app, but none I can find have tethering. Also, 4.3 and 4.4 do not seem to have tethering or inverted apps(however, would love to have newer OS). I want to stay away from Original Dev stuff, cuz typically there are issues. I have been searching XDA for hours. help!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spongdangly:
From reading the Cyanogenmod thread it seems that Wifi tethering has been fixed in the CM11 nightlies.

If you're looking for a dark themed/colored email app I'd recommend K9-Mail (it can be light or dark) and you can download it from the Play Store, F-Droid or here.

I've been running Quantum ROMs for almost 2 months and am loving the smoothness and battery life which I believe is because of his Kernel. Since his ROMs are CM based, I can only assume that Wifi Tethering works (at least for the v3 version since it's CM11 based, v2 is CM10.2).

As for the inverted GApps, I have no idea.

Also, when it comes to custom ROMs there will always be issues which from my experience have been minor (I don't use Bluetooth so that bug has never bothered me) since they seem to always be works in progress (which isn't a bad thing since the developers are always trying to improve/fix their ROM).

I hope this post helped you out a bit and happy flashing.
[Moto X General] Darth:
I am gonna copy paste a thread I made for the t989 s2. It's all universal advice.

Yes... Root is required for a lot of this.

A nandroid backup first is a good idea.

Lots of this is common knowledge, but maybe not to some newer Android users.... So here it is.

About the only moto x specific thing I can add is freeze all that motorola stuff. Even the com.motorola stuff. If you really want active display.... Keep it, I did. I went a few days without touch less control and now it's back on. Gonna see if my battery gets effected. If you're not sure what some of this com. Motorola stuff is, you can google it.

So.....2 things I personally think work best to solve battery draining issues.

1. GSAM from playstore. It will tell you what apps are draining your battery...the top of the app list will be your main culprits. Then you need to find out why? You can check what apps are waking your phone and for how long. Gsam can tell you a lot if you play around with it and see what it can show you.

2. Cpuspy, also from play store. A simple yet easy way to see if your phone is deep sleeping. Deep sleep should pretty much be your total up time....minus screen on time. Roughly. If it isn't, or you have no deep sleep time.....back to gsam to find out why.

Once you narrow down the app culprits ....then you can search on why.

One last huge thing I personally have done for a long time now....reboot after you unplug from charger. Every single time. This used to be a fix for not getting deep sleep....and I think it still is a good practice. (This doesn't really seem necessary on my X)

That's it. 2 apps and you can post your battery draining questions with a lot more info than simply saying..."hey....my battery life sucks."

Cause 9.5 times out of 10.....it has nothing to do with the rom you are using. Usually anyway.

[Moto X General] Darth:
A couple other things.

Comparing our total battery time with each other is pointless and meaningless. You can drain your phone from 100 to zero in 3 hours playing certain games, or it can last 30 hours cause you barely touched it. The only reasonable comparison is screen on time. Period. Tho it can alter greatly as well. 3 hours screen time on a 3d game, or 7 hours watching movies. 5 or more mostly texting and browsing......but still, its a better way to compare.

Gps is a battery destroyer. Some people leave it on...and certain apps will use it whenever you open them.

Screen brightness is a huge factor.

Task killers usually do more harm than good. Personally I only use greenify, and only for apps I know drain batteries a lot. Like maps. If maps is part of the rom....I convert it to a user app with titanium backup and greenify it. Canada's weather network app is a battery hog. Greenify. Basically anything that tops my list with more than 10 percent in gsam gets greenified. My wife used to use Facebook app....I got her using the browser. The app sucked her battery and data sometimes. No....no notification now, but she's on it a lot....her eyeballs are her notification. ￼

Juice defender....great for very light users....a battery waster for medium to heavy users. Turning wifi and data on and off 200 times a day will kill more battery than it saves. Ever see the amount of times juice defender wakes your phone? LOL. I got as high as 1000 before I deleted it. Gsam told me that!

And this screen shot is my credentials. Lol

I have always got good battery life on any phone or rom... Cause it's my number one concern and all my attention goes to good battery life before anything else. It's also why I got the moto x over the G2..... I saw the battery life that some Moto X users were getting and it is right up there with average G2 battery life times. And I think the moto x is the better built phone.

Good luck!! :)

[Moto X General] fury683:
GSAM won't work on 4.4 without a helper app, which requires root. Android removed the ability to see battery stats without root. I love GSAM and installed the root helper.

As for location services, I use App Ops (and now App Opps X that I'm rooted) to remove the location privileges for certain apps as I do leave my GPS enabled at all times and monitor what apps actually use it. I'm fine with ones that poll it like once an hour or something, but I had an app that used about 45 minutes of GPS lock when I hadn't even run the app since reboot. I disabled location access for that app with App Ops and it's fine now.

I also have a root app called Disable Service which lets you stop services for a given user or system app.

All of these things I described do require root. Although App Ops can be used without root, it can do more with it.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
I leave high accuracy GPS on all the time, and have done so with all phones I've had with that option. I checked battery life with it enabled and with GPS off unless needed, and there was no appreciable change in battery life by turning GPS off. I haven't tested this on newer phones, but it was this way with my Fascinate. Considering Android does much better with managing sensors now, hardware has improved greatly, and the Fascinate was one of the worse phones for GPS ever, if a battery issue was going to happen, that was the phone to have it with.
[Moto X General] fury683:
I also leave my GPS toggled "on" all the time (I use Power Control widget). It is actually only in use when it shows the GPS icon in the notification area, and I only look into it when it's on and I'm not using a location based app. If I find a problem I remove that app or disable the location services as mentioned in my previous post in this thread.

No real difference for me on battery life either, unless there is an offending app going crazy.
[Moto X General] Darth:
I'm willing to bet that on 4.4 with Google apps being even more integrated in the OS... That location services will shave at least some noticeable Battery life. Maybe not with an app as mentioned above, where you have control over what used gps. I'm on 4.2.2, but I'd be curious to see screen shots on 4.4...or even 4.2.2, of a full battery cycle with location services on.... And one off.

I know on my s2, if I forgot and left Gps on a while, it would eat my battery at least a 3rd quicker. Perhaps I had an app that abused gps, but it was pretty ugly anyway. Lol

[Moto X General] Darth:
Are you on 4.2.2. If so... Gsam will tell you.

Apparently if your on 4.4....you have to be rooted.

Kinda seems google is slowly trying to be like iPhone... And not let you do stuff unless you are rooted. Lol

But you should be around or over 80 percent deep sleep. If not.... You have an issue. And 13 percent.... You have a big issue. :)

The best battery tip would be to download GravityBox and enabling "Solid Black Display". Being that the screen is AMOLED, you're saving loads of battery without sacrificing anything.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
If you read the differences between 4.3 and 4.4, you'll notice what it is for. Google implemented the change to improve location accuracy with minimal effects on the battery. From my experience, while it looks like wifi is on all the time, it doesn't really do anything to battery life, but vastly improves location accuracy and lock time. So far, I've done next to nothing suggested in this thread, and I'm still coming home from work with about the same battery % remaining as I did on my Note 2. The best part is that my phone is probably doing more to affect battery life, but actually using less.
[Moto X General] Darth:
One thing I didn't say in my opening posts was that if someone is having trouble with battery life.... Do all this stuff... Then one at a time bring back things you miss... If one of them impacts your battery more than you care for.... You'll know what app or feature it is.

Everyone has different battery expectations and needs.... Some of my suggestions may seem too extreme for some people, or not at all for others.

I do everything I posted. I personally want every extra minute of screen time I can get.... But that's just me. Everyone has their own needs. I still enjoy my phone immensely... And use the functions I want for myself.... And see 5 to 6 hour screen times every charge. If some of my cuts are too much for some... That's totally understandable. ;)

Btw.... I don't care for touch less control.... But with it on.... I pretty much lose one hour screen time. Luckily it's not a feature I care about... So it's off. :) Just an FYI.

I may be a bit wrong but currently I am using a Slim Port to HDMI adapter to mirror my Nexus 5 display to TV while travelling.

Anyway I have to leave the Nexus 5 screen turned on during mirroring and when I lock the screen also the TV screen gets blank.

Is there a way to lock the N5 screen and TV still keeps showing running Videos? I think this is by design but just wondering???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unvaluablespace:
Don't think so, as typically turning off the display would also turn off the touchscreen itself, so even if you could pull this off, unless you were using some sort of remote way to control the phone, it would probably be useless. You can however try some sort of third party app or tweak that allows you to turn the screen brightness either very low, or completely turn off the backlight, but that would still have the display running

No official update

Android 4.4 KitKat can be run on lower end devices such as those with 512MB of RAM, overall galaxy core will also come under this lower end device category that's why you might have read this.. However, Samsung will probably NOT release any further updates, though we always have XDA, check for cynogenmod 11 for your device.

Hello

I got Moto Razr M and trying to use Telstra, Australia gsm simcard. Successfully unlocked & rooted it and installed the last rom of cm10.2.

I can make calls, access the internet & receive text messages, but I cannot send text messages.

I tried everything what I found on google but nothing works. do you guys know what the problem could be ?

Since there is no option to check the SMSC number I entered *#*#4636#*#* and in the Testing - Phone information section

* there is no number next to SMSC, so I clicked on the "Refresh" button and the number +61418706700 appeared next to the SMSC, which is correct. I clicked on the "Update" button then exit out of this.

* When I go back the SMSC is empty again. I put my simcard in a other phone and then it works so i think it have nothing to do with smsc.

Thanks!

You might have damage to your mainboard rather than the GPS tracker unless you damaged it in a way that directly hit the chip.
