Patience, guys. The rollout is happening in phases, and for now only 1% of two specific sales channels get the update. They are the guinea pigs, so to speak. Once everything is fine, the update will be approved for more users.

That article is talking about the Google OTA process, there's no way of telling if motorola uses something similar. But posting "I haven't got the ota" doesn't help much either, I guess. So yes. Patience.

I need flash to work with firefox so will not be applying this update when it arrives.

If Dolphin browser had the ability to block apps then I wouldn't have a problem updating to 4.4.2 as I know you can get flash to work with Dolphin, so it's 4.3 for me.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Hi guys

When editing a contact and adding a picture to it, it used to give me several options, like whether I would like to add the picture from Album, Picture Editor, Picture Viewer, File Manager etc and then it would ask Once Only or Always...

Well somehow Dropbox got selected together with the Always option so whenever I want to add a photo to my address book it only now offers me Dropbox.

I can't figure out for the life of god how to reset or reverse that so that I can select photos from my album again...

Any help?

Please... Lol

Thanks!!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
The only way which I know is to uninstall Dropbox form Android and install again, after that when you will select the pictures will appear all the options.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Thanks I will try that!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johann_London:
Thanks it worked! How annoying tho...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Yhea, I know, in this case working what way. If you do this with Whazzup, for example you want send a pic and you select Always with Album, in this case you don't have to uninstall Whazzup but just keep pushing the botton attachment and the option will appear. Should working that way for everything but actually is not. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a-Rcky:
Or you could go to SETTINGS > APPS and then "clear default" in the app you don't want to be the selected by default... Is not necessary to uninstall...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
Ok, so try this, go to Whazzup, and try to send a picture to someone, whazz will ask you which album or whatever you want to use, select always and the Album which you like, now when you want to send a pictures you will always use the same app with the album which you selected by default.

Now go to Settings > Apps > Whazzapp and see in you can click on Clear Default, because to me is not working in that way, maybe with some app only.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a-Rcky:
Because the one you need to clear is not whatsapp... Should be the app that is by default opening the pictures... for example "Settings > Apps > "Gallery or media app opening the pictures by default in whatsapp" then "Clear default"... I hope I could make myself clearer this time...

I hope it helps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] que3jxp:
So I am trying to do a favour for a friend as their i9000m seems to be at the least, soft bricked.

I was able to find out that they had tried to use Odin to flash a rom on it to fix "something". Knowing that a mistake in Odin can make a mess, I bet that is what wrecked things. However, reflashing with the stock Bell Mobility ROM did not work. The following screen is what was happening BEFORE it was given to me to look at it and is still coming up.

Any help would be appreciated!

Yes indeed the pictures I attached to the post.

Sadly, I tried your files and the PIT and it did not to anything more than with the ones I already had. (PIT not withstanding as I have never fussed with those in the past)

The phone is still doing the same thing after a restart. In my mind, it should have worked as there were no errors in the log from ODIN. I have tried straight factory flash and the CWM rooted Kernel.

I have also tried Heimdall with a rooted CWM Kernel and that does not work either. It says all went well but then nothing :(

As an owner of one of these i9000m models, this should not be this hard but who knows what the owner actually did to this when he tried to flash with ODIN.

according to this 3 of your partitions are not in rfs format for stock ROM's to function , meaning they had been converted to Ext 4, 3 o2 as such stock which use rfs format , cannot use them

1) SD card, data partition and cache partition all need to be formatted back to rfs first..so use the CWM to reformat them back to rfs ..read this guide and others mentioned within to get an idea on how it can be done

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] que3jxp:
Nope. Nothing.

The worst part is that I can NEVER get into recovery mode. Not once with any of the flashes for anything. Sometimes when trying to get into recovery, the screen is just black. Earlier or if I were to flash back on all of the stock firmware, it will just go to the first screens I attached in the OP.

I am thinking that this is a lost cause as most of the solutions are to use an external SD and that is not something that is going to be pursued as he does not want it that bad...

Let me know if you have any other ideas but otherwise, thanks for the help you have given and Merry Christmas!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sensamic:
Hey everyone.

Just wanted to know if charging the tablet almost constantly is a bad thing. I use the tablet a lot every day, so when I'm at 60%, for example, I charge it again while I'm at lunch or doing something else, so that I can keep using the tablet later with full charge available again. I never let my tablet go down to 5%.

Is this bad for the battery in the long run?

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Generally, it's best to not allow full cycle recharging...i.e. not fully charge or discharge, it's better for small charge cycles, like 40%<->90%

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] lemy_:
That's right. At least for what I know. It says the same on Apple's website about batteries. :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Sensamic:
So then I guess I'm doing it right, correct?

I charge from 60% to 100% or from 50% to 100% again. Maybe I should do it only up to 90% then.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
I only charge to 100% when I am going to be away from a charger for a long time, otherwise I stop at 90%-ish (my battery app announces when it is at 90% and there are kernels which will stop the charge at what you specify), as the links above state, charging to 100% all the time will shorten the lifetime of your battery, this may or may not matter to someone, for example, if you buy a new tablet every year, or you're well-off financially, then you're probably not too concerned with how many years your battery lasts, in which case charging to 100% a lot won't really matter much, since you'll likely own a newer tablet by time the battery does die.

In short, it's up to you and what you want to get out of your battery's lifetime.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mulperi:
I am using the good old 100% and then use until near 0%. I have found that this way the battery lasts longer.

As I am writing i have 43% battery with 5:40h screen time. I am using Greenify btw.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ezas:
There are two kinds of battery life. These recommendations are for battery longevity. How long until the battery begins to lose the ability to fully charge.

The article at battery university explains how charging works, and the best way to charge batteries. What you are doing is the opposite of that way. If you think you are going to have your tablet longer than a year, it's worth taking the time to read the articles linked.

There is noting particularly wrong with full charges every time, but there are 'righter' ways to charge.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aigaming:
Is there any kind of battery forming on new nexus7?

I mean i bought nexus 7 and straight from box i rooted,unlocked and installed custom kernel which forbids battery 2 fully charge over 92%...

Should i revert to stock and firstly fully charge my tablet then go to custom kernel or i am good at it right now ? Tnx

ps. (my nexus 7 was on 38% when i put it out of box)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Based on what I've read, you'd gain no benefit by reverting to stock and charging to 100%, it MAY or may not effect the internal battery calibration, but it does not affect the lifetime or anything.

Also, these kernels usually have a way for you to change the % at which it stops, usually by cat'ing or changing some value that the kernel reads, you could just cat/echo/change 92% to 100%, and let it charge to 100%, then change it back. YMMV.

Tnx m8 ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] username4this:
The worst thing you can do to lithium-ion batteries is let them discharge completely.

Not letting the lithium-ion batteries discharge more than 10% will increase the cycles by thousands we're talking going from 350 cycles to 4000.

So, ideally, you want to charge your batteries (of this type) after a 10% discharge but we all know that's impossible so the best thing you can do is to charge your tablet everytime you can. Even if it has much battery left.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] aigaming:
I knew that allready but i didn't know that it is not good to charge battery to 100 till i came to nexus 7 forums:) I always charged all my devices to 100% and never had a problem with battery;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] username4this:
You should charge to 100%, there is no problem with that.

On a perfect world you would want to charge everytime the battery hit 90%, this gives the best amount of charge cycles and life time.

However we all know that's not going to happen because the tablet is here to serve our needs and not the other way around so stick to charging it whenever you can.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] droidshadow:
Great Question!

First let me start off by saying to the person that started this thread that this was a really good question to ask!

Now if you are trying to get the most out of your battery then you could look into installing/flashing a custom kernel that could allow for undervolting which could in theory give your battery more life.

So you all are saying that the best thing to do is to charge up to 90% and never let it get down to less than 10%? Always start charging when the battery gets to like 40%?

One question i have for the Nexus 7 2013. Is it even possible to remove the battery for this tablet or does it void the warranty? Second has anyone purchased a spare battery (if possible) for their Nexus 7 2013? If you did could you post a link to where you got it and let us know how much you paid?...

Great question and thread!

-droidshadow
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
There has been speculation in the franco thread that undervolting could actually hurt battery charge life, due to the CPU having to work harder due to having less voltage, not sure if that has any merit or not.

The reasoning behind the not charging above 90%, and not allowing full-cycle charges is outlined much better in the links I posted than I could do here, also I would be just regurgitating information that is already there for the most part.

40% is just a number I pulled out of air, the best practice is to keep the charge delta as small as possible. So, let's say we charge the device to 90%, it is better to charge it when it hits 80% than it is to wait till it hits 70%, because a smaller charge delta has occurred, so charge often, but if you want the lifetime of your battery to be maximized (lifetime as in the way ezas explained it, i.e. "(...)battery longevity. How long until the battery begins to lose the ability to fully charge"), than try to not charge it to 100%.

Also, it has to be said, heat also affects the battery longevity, that is why I also recommend not charging while a device is in its case. And not leaving it sit on a Qi charger for too long, some cause more heat than others, but heat is a battery's enemy.

It would no doubt void your warranty. As for battery replacements, I have not yet found one, I'm not saying there isn't one to be found, but I have yet to find it, I figure the reason is because they are not yet in demand since the tablet is relatively new and demands for replacement batteries would be too low, obviously and eventually this will change.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] username4this:
What I said was that, theorically, in a perfect world, you want to charge your tablet when it starts losing charge and ideally never let it get below 90%. This is almost impossible because we use our tablet and we don't want to constantly be charging it so ideally you want to charge it whenever you can.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheWyzeMan:
Tempered Armor just launched their Galaxy S3 tempered glass screen protector December 2nd. Saw a review video for their Note 3 protector and absolutely loved it (Link if curious: http://youtu.be/Qzhst5jrBtI). I picked it up the same day it released.

It came in two days ago and of course I install it immediately. At first, I thought great, the adhesive is doing it's thing. Then, once I took the blue plastic cover off, the disappointment set it. At a nearly uniform distance completely around the protector, the adhesive doesn't stick. I had used their packaged microfiber and their packaged isopropyl wipes for the install. Thought cool, maybe it will take a few days. And fast forward to today, it still looks the same.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I love how it feels; I've always hated those crappy plastic protectors.

I reached out to Tempered Armor via Twitter and got no help other than them claiming it was user error and/ or the alignment is off. I sent them a Dropbox link with pictures of the alignment and they came back with the protector won't work if it is "off a hair".

Here's our Twitter conversation: https://twitter.com/temperedarmor/status/413801200866574336

Here's the Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/i6wur2j57ql99c7/qyw6TAEb_y

So if you are thinking about ordering one, make sure you have a micron microscope to get it aligned correctly.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] greenbay:
Meh,

I have had similar problems with SProtectors. I do believe that the glass on most S3's have a slight curve at the outer edge.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] TheWyzeMan:
Whenever I press down on the outside edge, it feels like the glass protector doesn't even try to stick. I feel like the adhesive wasn't properly applied to the protector before shipping.

What really got me was when customer support mentioned if it was "off a hair" it wouldn't sit right. How are you going to sell a screen protector that has a fault tolerance in alignment of a width of a hair?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] greenbay:
Typical lack of customer service or care. This why I try to support companies like, Anker, zero lemon, Amazon. They actually care about quality and their customers. As info,

We have 3 galaxy S3 in my home and all have a slight curve downward at the edges.

I love tempered glass screen protectors. But why spend that much money on that one. I got mine off Ebay and they look way better than the one posted in the OP. The one I have sticks all the way around.

Hi..

I would like to buy one, but 0.4 ones seems to thick as they seem to raise screen level above some cases lips..

Do you have slimmer one or is that one ok ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jack man:
The one I have is .3, so just a bit thinner. on all of the cases I have used, it doesn't interfere with the case. I have used it with the Otterbox Commuter case and it looks fine. Right now, I'm using it with a rubber/plastic case that I found at Walgreen's of all places. There is usually a small gap between the edge of the screen protector and the case. I'll see if I can get a picture up

EDIT

Here's mine with a case and the glass screen on it (sorry pic quality is bad, taken with an Ipad, of course)

Whenever i put a screen protector on my s3 the touch screen glitches, key presses al over the screen like whenever i press the app drawer it opens my notification bar, whenever i type something it scrolls up,so does that have anything to do with the quality of the screen protector?
[Android General] fma965:
Hey i will try this out shortly and post a APK (whether you use it or not thats up to you, but i am well known in the xperia play section of this website and should be trusted, Still its up to you.)

EDIT: well i am not a android developer, i can follow almost all this post except the bits about the native library :( any chance of a bit more information :)

specifically this bit "Include the hooking shared library into the lib/armeabi of the decompiled package and change the smali files to load the new shared library."

i assume that means just simply copy the built lib file in to that folder then include the file in the code somewhere? where do i do that to?
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Sorry about the late reply but I just saw this message.

That's pretty much correct. There is already a 'libtest_ndk.so' file in the lib/armeabi folder of the apk. You just have to build my code from the zip file to get the libhooktest.so, which should then be copied into the lib/armeabi folder alongside the libtest_ndk.so.

Edit: Not sure if this is enough instructions. I'm just not good at writing instructions. Steps you need to build the native library are in my post. If you need more info i suggest about building the library http://code.google.com/p/awesomeguy/wiki/JNITutorial#Setup_Environment is a good

Afterwards you have to do the modifications I've listed in the diff to the .smali files.

But i have some bad news about this patch:

The diff file i have attached in the post is wrong. I've mistakenly uploaded the patch to reverse the changes i did :o . I will update the post with the correct diff file.

It will only work for Barclays app version 1.4.2. it will definitely not work for the latest version of the app which is 1.7.1.

I'm currently going through the code of 1.7.1 I've made some headway into the code but there I'm quite way off from getting it to work.

If you wish I can give you a copy of the original 1.4.2 of Barclays app, the built lib file and the patched app. I would recommend against using the patched app blindly but it might make it easier to figure out the changes i did. I would rather not upload them to xda though.
[Android General] fma965:
No worries about the late reply, yeah you basically told me what i assumed it was i had to do, however when i was trying to do it i didn't have a 1.4.2 apk so was trying ot use 1.7.X and obviously failed :(.

Yeah the modifications to smali files is easy :) well when you know what your changing xD

if you could upload the apk for 1.4.2 that would be great, i would assume that as long as the signature matches the official apk its untampered, your modified one will obviously be signed with a different signature though.
[Android General] HiddenRambler:
Good news. I've managed to get latest version 1.7.1 patched :D. I will try to post the patch information this weekend. In the meantime i suggest anyone interested download a copy from the play store and keep a backup of the apk in case they release a new version.
