The RUU should be 'clean'

Therefore if it's still playing up, as suspected sounds like hardware fault :(. On such an old phone, personally probably not worth the hassle anymore
[Sony Xperia M] aniguru2007:
Friends would you suggest me a good call block app (without rooting device). I have used Mr number but I was not satisfied with it. I want the app to reply to the blocked caller similar as in call waiting or out of range etc (as in stock samsung). But apps that I used just take the call and hangs up which I do not require as it would seem that I hanged up on the caller. Thanks:cowboy:
[Sony Xperia M] asdcxz1:
by using avg you can auto reject and send msg .. but when you when you are waiting i don't know the app

is there any app which provide functions like root call blocker without rooting or is it even possible?
[Sony Xperia M] Talha7866:
you can use calls blacklist from playstore..!!
[Sony Xperia M] aniguru2007:
I'll try n get bck to you asap.

You tried

True caller??

I guess even it has a blacklist option but i am not sure if thats what you want
[Sony Xperia M] aniguru2007:
thnks I'll get bck to u after trying the app.
[Sony Xperia M] aniguru2007:
I want a app which would behave(call handling) just as the stock call reject app in samsung. The apps I tried just pick n hang calls and advanced options r only available on rooting which I dont prefer(diff reasons). But after a long search I am forced to root my xperia m for advanced call blocking features.

Suggestions still open!!!!

Anyways thanks everyone for helping out.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D.mack:
This problem looks alot like the defective screen problem on the Z ultra

My phone had been working fine for months, then I was swapping Sim cards and when the phone was off inbetween cards I dropped it (don't know if that matters)

But now it turns on can feel it vibrate, makes noises when pressing volume key, led flashes like I have messages - Except nothing comes on the screen at all.. backlight comes on, and that's it?

Any idea on a fix?

Gotten a liking for MSN Messenger on the Exec, but it's a battery hog. Looking for a decent larger capacity battery, or a charger that can charge the device PLUS a second standard battery.

I've trawled through the threads and don't see much, but that could just be me!

Here is a link for a battery for the EXEC: http://www.batteryupgrade.com/ You have to choose for what type of PDA, brand , and type of phone.

It is the same as the original though. I don't think there is an extended battery nor charger available yet. But this will give you an extra battery for the moment. The only draw back is, you have to use the actual device as the charger too.

Couple of suggestions

This ones an external battery 3600mAH -http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=3131

This goes inside BUT needs a new rear panel with a power bulge - 300mAH though -

http://www.gpsforless.co.uk/product_details.php?id=2978

Both of these items are reportedly not available as of now but on their way (end of Feb 2006) but the following is - its a slightly more powerful 1750mAH replacement -

Good Morning

I have downloaded the 4.4.2 update for my Nexus 7 2013 as the 4.4 version for me has been very unstable (crashing and restarting very often)

I have rooted my device and run TWRP.

I have tried to flash the 53mb file from the device and using Nexus root toolkit 1.79 and it comes up as failed during the process so not sure why this is happening.

Has anyone else had this issue or does anybody have any ideas about what to do, I have looked at the zip contents with 7Zip and it seems to contain all the stuff that I need.

Am hoping that the update will help sort out the issues I have been having with 4.4

No!

Apl the above method to force stop and clear data from Google services framework.

Repeat the process several times until the updates take.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Doing this changes the primary ID by which Google knows your device. As far as the servers are concerned, the device was basically factory reset. There are many downstream effects of this, but a big one is that this invalidates the tokens used by any app that uses GCM (which is nearly all the Google apps, and a ton of third-party apps.)

How apps react to GCM IDs changing varies by app. With Play Store you have to log out and log back in, I think Gmail usually handles it transparently eventually but won't get new mail notifications for a while, etc. Some apps you may have to clear data on to recover. All apps will simply stop getting GCM push-messages, until they get a new GCM ID; some do this frequently, others rarely, and some apps use the GCM ID as an ID on their own servers (as it is opaque and basically random), so other things besides push messages may not work.

Nothing bursts into flames, but it makes a ton of nuisances on the device, including some that can look pretty mysterious. Your mileage will vary depending on what apps you use.

All of this can be avoided by just doing an 'adb sideload' if you are impatient.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Un4s:
Hi Guys,

i have a bit of a problem with the battery in my GNex maguro.

I'm an avid Rom flasher, but when i have something that works well i usually settle with it for a while. So i flashed Cataclysm (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995801) sometime in the last months and it was running great. Best bettery life i had so far.

Then with the release of Android 4.4 i looked for a rom to test it. I flashed XP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2539201) and i really like the 4.4 changes.

But since then my battery won't even last a day in standby mode. I thought maybe it's an issue with 4.4. still, but even after flashing back to Cataclysm (newest release) i still had the same issues. I thought it may well be, that the final version isn't what it used to be, so i flashed another rom again. This time Purity (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012706) aaaand... still the same problem. So now i'm pretty much lost. I also tried different kernels (lean kernel specifically) but to no avail.

My battery used to last 2+ days in idle mode. Now i can see my battery drop every minute. It barely holds over 10 hours. I already did a full phone wipe and flashed back to stock before installing cataclysm again but still no improvement.

I hope someone can help me here or point in the right direction.

Sorry if this topic already exists, but the search funtion doesn't seem to work right now and google didn't show something helpfull.

Thank you all in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pylonman:
I don't know why you would still have bad battery life moving back to the original rom you used but.. on 4.4 it is most likely the new Google Now features that constantly listen for voice commands. Disable it by long pressing on an empty part of the home screen and go to settings. Slide Google Now Off and go to voice and turn off hotword detection as well.

I get great standby battery life on 4.4. I'm running the 11/29 ART build of cmetal(toro), 150ish hours of uptime without any issues so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwoods1983:
Re: Bad Battery Life since KK

What kernel are you running? Are you just using whatever kernels come with each ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Un4s:
I'll try turning off google now and the voice stuff and report back.

It still seems really weird to me, that the problem still persists after flashing back to 4.3. My guess would be, that 4.4 flashes something hidden that messes with the battery. But i don't know where or what.

Especially since it persists after a complete wipe (/data, /system and /cache).

Well, i'll see how it behaves without google now.

Well i used mostly lean Kernel with 4.3 roms but i can't find any 4.4 kerneles besides CM. I have XP installed right know which uses CM Kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dwoods1983:
Re:Bad Battery

Make sure your governor is set to interactive or ondemand...it could be seeing power drain from being set to one of the performance settings.

It's also possible that your battery is just going bad...do you have a backup battery you can try?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Un4s:
Reporting back. After deactivating google now yesterday my battery is still ****. It's at 50% after 2h idle and 30 minutes screentime. Before the 4.4 flash it would be at around ~85-90% now. I suspect that 4.4 flashes something in some hidden partition that i don't have access to, that messes with the battery. Users on other boards report the same issues as i have.

Just checked. Governor is set to interactive. It's also the default setting.

I sadly don't have a backup battery.

Could be, of course. But it's kinda weird that the decline is so dramatic and it has to be a pretty big coincidence that it just happend after a 4.4 flash. Seems unlikely to me.

edit: I'll order a new battery just to eliminate the battery as the source of error.

Same problem here. Since I flashed Kitkat on my phone, battery life isn't enough to last a day on standby. I tried installing another kernel (ASKP) but to no avail.

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also experiencing battery issues after flashing the XP 4.4 rom. I did enjoy it but the battery drain was terrible. Not only that, for some reason my charger drains on a 1A charger but charges slowly on a .7A somehow. I only have 1 micro usb cable so I can't test if it's the cable and I can't find any apps to check the current speed. I tried downgrading and flashing to Slimbean but so far it's been no dice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Un4s:
Ok, back again. hibernated every app and system-app that was running in background. Still wasn't getting better. I then saw the only services still running are google location services. I deactivated them now to see if these are causing it.

The biggest wakelocks i have are "wlan_rx_wake" which seem to be a known problem with KK:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2519294

I then researched again and found several threads in google groups which describe the same problems that i have. Across several devices (though mostly Nexus 4, 5 and 7).

Google seems to be aware of that issue and is working on it.

Yes, same for me. Charging is really slow since 4.4 as is the bootprocess of my phone. From the first vibrate when switching the phone on it takes ~10 seconds until the google logo pops up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] memaro_maro:
i dont know any about gapps issues bcoz not running any gapps in my phone since last year.

1. try searching for updated radio.img (baseband/ radio) if got any network issue.

2. try install trickster mod app. this app can help you for tweaking into deep sleep, also help for optimizing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crayjin:
Okay, so I bought some new cables and they work fine with my 1.0A wall chargers so that's a good sign. It seem the battery drain issue is decreasing, I didn't do any calibrating on my own but I think the battery and phone are adjusting and will probably get better. Might go back to 4.4 but the only big thing that's calling my attention is the okay google command and the emojis :). @OP, if you haven't yet you should try calibrating your battery, good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dariokdg:
So.. after moving to CM 11 all i can say is that my battery life went straight to hell.

2 hours from disconnecting the charger (at 100%): 24% battery drain (with AT MOST 25, 30 min of screen usage)

and one thing that's driving me crazy is the fact that now it's taking about 3, 4 hours to fully charge (not from pc usb, from wall)

i don't know if it's just a coincidence and my battery got f%#!&" up.. or kitkat is a massive battery draining system.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKS, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS POST

What is it ?

This is a new version of a modem for the Galaxy S4 i9505. :o

This is not for the Google Edition. :rolleyes:

The modem is for France, and cover the provider : SFR, Bouygues, or the phone bought without any provider ( this is my case)

it should be usable for other country, but the parameters of the modem could be not the most appropriate ???

Note : 'Version de bande de base' mean : 'BaseBand Version'...

I took this modem directly from an official Firmware, available in SamMobile web site.

How to flash ?

Get the file here : https://mega.co.nz/#!RdpWlS6a!ahKPHj5omnE-sc_31HpBHG6-2boUshtcbZo9e9RZaws

Use odin V3.04 (or odin 3.07) under a computer running windows XP, Vista, Seven, windows 8.0 or 8.1

Use Heimdall 1.4 or more recent under Windows, linux or OSX.

(see here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2071724 or here : http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/)

I didn't try Heimdall yet. But I think it will be a good solution for the futur, as it run on all platform (I own a Mac...)

About Odin (I used this method), there is plenty of tutorial over Internet and XDA-dev.

Run the application (run as Administrator if ruinning windows Vista, Seven, 8.0, 8.1)

it works under a virtual machine (like VMware) but odin will return an error at the end of pthe process, even if the flash works properly

select the file I9505XXUEMKF_modem.tar, and check the checkboxes like this. Odin should loks like this :

after that step, click on Start, and touch nothing until Odin has completed the job.

Reboot your phone, if Odin can't do it. if you phone stay stuck on samsung logo, reboot it manually again, before trying to flash again.

some tutorial says to flash twice the modem in case of the old modem remain.

Notes :

in my case, under the Virtual Machine, the process until writing works properly.

the last step (reboot) do not work and report an error in Odin, but the flash works.

BE CARREFUL, THIS MANIPULATION IS MORE FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY DO !

Enjoy
