[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Avail211:
Except that the update will probably fail and you'll have to factory reset your phone to get it to take the update. At least that's what I had to do when the MF3 update came out. I tried all the tricks including changing the date. I went out 30+ days before I gave up. Once I set it back to the correct date it said I had to wait something like 800 hours to check again :eek: Once I factory reset it and left it overnight it did the auto-update.

The only noticeable difference between 4.2 and 4.3 that I've seen is Galaxy Gear compatibility for the S4. Maybe a couple things here an there but unless we can root it it's not really a big deal.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] DWilso3:
Oh, that's unfortunate. I did that last time and it worked for me with MF3...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] phillybits:
If you used active root, install Titanium Backup and just clear the data from the AT&T Update package.

Presto! Check for updates as often as you clear the app data.

2014 will update S4 active

at new year i guess they will update this phone.....start of febuary....not even leak rom we can see now cause samsung want to skip 4.3 straight to 4.4........blast:(
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] lances1027:
I am done with the bulls**t and hassle of this active. I am going back to my S4 and maybe when they realize that us that are aware of the bootloader issue upon the next roll out, and wont re up on the newest device, they will let it go. I have 3 lines on my account. I use one. I pay 9.99 a month for the 2 just to have upgraded to the newest phone. I use 12- 20 gigs of data a month on just that one phone. Not including what I do in WIFI when I can. I honestly very rarely use tethering to run someone elses device which is the ONLY thing that would cost ATT anything by me rooting a phone and changing it to how I like. The fact of tracking the phone or my usage might be a reasoning but no other carrier locks their devices due to this. so guess what ATT. I'll pay your 250 contract default fee and roll on back to sprint. Should have never left but the Active was to enticing when I lost my s4 and had to buy another device anyway. Like sooooo many people say on this site. RESEARCH RESEARCH BACK UP BACK UP and for everything else...USE LOOKOUT tou find your lost or stolen phone

Yo!

I have a PC at home connected to the interent & I have a BlueTooth USB Dongle plugged in.

Simply (yeah, right) how do you configure my home WinXP Pro PC & my Xda Exec such that the Xda Exec can browse the internet using the home PC internet connection over a BlueTooth connection????

I have spent all day trawling forums & internet, but any reference made to Windows operating system does not seem to relate to the one I have installed??!?!?!?!???!

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Andy

(PS I have manage to create a 'partnership' between the two, but that's all.
[Networking] DocG:
Won't ActiveSync 4.1 do this now? I've got my XDA Mini S connected to my laptop via BT right now and I can get Exhange email and surf the Web without WiFi or GPRS as my Laptop is connected to the internet :)

No special settings required...

However, makesure you pair your phone from your PC for BT Active Sync support... if you already have a pairing delete it on both the PC and Phone and repair etc etc...
[Networking] underwurlde:
erm, Okeey dokee, piggy in a pokey.....

Exactly, in words of less than one syllable, how do you do that.

Assume nothing, as I know nothing.

I have been pulling my hair out & shouting at everything ALL day trying to get this sodding thing to work... BT ActiveSync support <- what is that??? Is this the golden goose I'm missing?!?!?!?!

So far I have managed to, but have now lost a very unstable internet connection (that GPRS kept constantly trying to overrule) I've been messing with COM ??? for the last 2 hours (my latest discovery) but (for whatever utterly unknown reason) I simply CANNOT get my PC COM port to be in an acceptable range (i.e. COM<=9)

ARRRRRGGGGGG!!!!

You are one LUCKY little bunny if this 'just worked' for you!!!!

well done :wink:

[Networking] DocG:
1. Download and install ActiveSync 4.1 from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync41.mspx

Follow the instructions you will need your sync cable :)

While you do that I'll erm go write it all down :p
[Networking] underwurlde:
Hey thanks m8.

Jolly decent of you ol' bean.

BTW ActiveSync 4.1 slapped in already...

BRB

Andy
[Networking] DocG:
OK went to write the stuff and thought I'd unpair mine need to make sure I can get the connection back seems that somthing is remembering pairing somwhere.

Gimmie a few more mins :) think I'll need to reset phone to get this to work TBH...
[Networking] DocG:
Oh and you should not need any COM ports defined in Local or Client as Active Sync creates one...
[Networking] DocG:
Yes hard reset fixed the problem.... so you will need to do that too I guess as it seems not to work as somehow the AS link to the phone gets ignored...

Sec should upload a Word Doc.
[Networking] underwurlde:
Cool

I am learning >many< things about BlueTooth USB Dongles.

All of them dodgy to say the least.

One biggy is removing the Microsoft driver from the PC (& issues concering COM port assignment). Once this is done, install the correct driver. THEN DO NOT USE THE DONGLE IN ANOTHER USB PORT.

Poor, poor, POOR programming.....

Andy
[Networking] DocG:
Here it is... A bit ragged but what you expect!

Now I gotta fix all my phone back hehe ;)

The key thing is the Phone should show ActiveSync as a service on the PC if it only shows Serial Port it ain't going to work.
[Networking] underwurlde:
Thank you VERY much.

I'll have a look & get back for feedback.

[Networking] DocG:
Dunno how you cope with the weight of the Exec but tis nice :)
[Networking] underwurlde:
Look at my sig.

For the price I got it for I couldn't give a flying fart how much it weighs...

Anyway the mobile phone part of it is just for kicks (I hide myself on the very rare occasions that someone rings me when I'm out because I feel an utter pratt with that lump glued to the side of my nut. Note to self: must get a headset... hold on these are BlueTooth devices as well... arrrrrgh).

For the 2 weeks I've had it since fixing it, mainly used it for:

Showing off.

Mentioning how much I paid for it, and then showing off some more.

Playing 'Age of Empires', Quake, Doom, Tetris, Worms on the Bog. (did I say 'worms'??? :oops: )

Fiddling with 'WiFi' connections to the internet (at Work)

Fiddling with 'BlueTooth' Connections to the internet (at Home)

Working out why someone has decided the red 'X' now does NOT shut a program down.

And ultimately used it as a thing to be shouted at.

Weight?? It's lighter than my ZX Spectrum - Kids of today!

DisableCriticalBatteryShutdown

(for Xposed Framework)

What?

Disables the Auto-Shutdown when Android detects a critical battery level

Why?

This is to prevent the auto-shutdown when you have 1% left of battery. It is useful for calibrating your battery by draining it completely, using Chinese Branded Batteries with

terrible

battery percentage detection or even lengthen the life of a phone with non-removable battery with terrible calibration.

Compatiblility

Not working on 4.3+

Tested

only

on AOSP 2.3, 4.0, 4.1

This project is abandoned, I will not add support for any other ROMs.

The App has no interface. It only shows a notification for the attempted shutdown (shown in the attachments)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
Disclaimer 1

I am not responsible for any damage to CPUs, SD cards, Internal Storages, or other failures that happened after your battery became flat and your phone abruptly dies.

By choosing to use this module, you are fully aware that this can cause damage to your phone especially when writing data to the SD Card or Internal Storage.

Disclaimer 2

Lithium-Ion batteries

should not be drained everyday over a long period of time

. Doing so WILL

decrease the lifespan of your battery.

Calibration may or may not be a placebo, however, it really depends on how you use and what type of battery you use. If it has no effect for you on the first "calibration", please do not continue to drain your battery everyday.

Download from Xposed Repo

This Xposed Module is open source!

Sources are found on my GitHub

This module is abandoned, however, if you would like to help in the development, you may do so and I will update the module if needed

[Xposed Framework Modules] exodius48:
some questions from me:

1. if phone's battery goes '0' bar, will it shutdown automatically?

2. compatible with android 4.4.2 or not?

thanks in advance
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
1) No. Until your battery is completely dead

2) Yes, I haven't tested but it is compatible.

If it works, your phone will abruptly shutdown after receiving the "Blocked Shutdown X times"

If it doesn't work, you will see the shutdown dialog with the spinning wheel before your phone shuts down.
[Xposed Framework Modules] sergini:
this might give an extra 5minutes juice, that's it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] exodius48:
Thanks for your explanation. So, Whats the side effect from this app to the battery life? not damage to the phone's battery, isn't?
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
Yea. Maybe more or less but long term usage will decrease your battery life. Only use it for calibration.

The side effect is allowing the battery to drain completely. Ususally used for calibration but if you use it everyday over a long period of time, it WILL decrease your battery life.
[Xposed Framework Modules] exodius48:
So, when did the right time to use it?
[Xposed Framework Modules] iede:
Tried it with SGS4 I9500 Android 4.3

Doesn't work. :mad:

[MENTION=5402474]zst123[/MENTION] gonna try it on my galaxy y duos stock GB 2.3.6.will post results later.

EDIT: it worked! thank you so much!
[Xposed Framework Modules] xdapowerapps:
Lithium-Ion batteries are NOT meant to be drained. You WILL decrease the life of your battery (since it weakens the anode bars physically). Draining works for Ni-Mh batteries. Android calibrates your battery between 80 and 90% so if you have Lithium ion batteries, calibration is a placebo. Correct me if I'm wrong. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] metalboy94:
Actually, if the battery metering chip (also known as the 'fuel gauge') is giving inaccurate results, calibration will make a world of difference. Here's an example - on my (generic Chinese) tablet, the meter often goes down quite slowly during usage, while voltage goes down normally (according to BMW). When the meter hits ~35%, the battery starts going down abruptly (~1%/second), until it gets to 0 and the tablet shuts down.

This doesn't mean at all that I have a flawed battery, since I am getting the same usage time as when I bought it (battery was flawed from the start? :silly: ) - the battery meter chip is simply inaccurate.

Thank you, OP, for this mod, it's gonna come in handy.
[Xposed Framework Modules] JoeSyko:
Sorry for my ignorance but what is the difference between this & removing the batterystats.bin system file?
[Xposed Framework Modules] mauam:
Very clever question:laugh: Want to know that too:p
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
Removing battery stats is different. On a battery with a terrible calibration, it will not prevent Android from shutting down when it (wrongly) detects a low battery. This module disables the shutdown when you reach 1% and below. Long term usage of draining to 0% WILL lower your battery life. So use only for calibration
[Xposed Framework Modules] JoeSyko:
Thanks. I recently purchased an extended battery with twice the mAh as the stock battery but I am still getting roughly the same amount of time out of a full charge. I am hoping this will fix that. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] ronald_loulan:
YES!!!

Looking for 1 of this for sometime...

Good job...
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rimmir:
My phone seems to have wonky battery life, it will jump from 14 to 12 to 10 to 3 percent then shut down.

This should help immensely for calibration if it does work.

Will report back. Happy holidays ☺

Didn't seem to work for my Beanstalk 4.4.2 HTC One. I am 100% willing to beta test or provide any data if needed

(I installed and activated module, rebooted, let battery drain to 0 from 16, phone proceeded to shut off right away)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
I wouldn't recommand you do "beta tests" or any others on your HTC One. Mainly, it has a non-replacable battery.

If you could, upload your debug.log here so I can see what's wrong.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rannzzroxx:
Not working on my Xperia Sola running CM11.After it reaches 0%,the shutdown dialog is shown and the phone is invariably shut down:(
[Xposed Framework Modules] Rimmir:
I want to run it at least once because my battery doesn't seem to be calibrated. Where exactly can I find the debug.log (or generate it)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] :
Is there any possibility that this module could kill your battery forever ? :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] zst123:
Sure, follow these steps,

1) Turn on Bluetooth, GPS, Wifi, Maximum Brightness and set screen timeout to never

2) Enable this module

3) Reboot

4) Wait for your battery to drain completely

5) Charge and repeat

You'll have to repeat this cycle until your battery gets killed permanently

(This is a joke, please don't do these)

[Xposed Framework Modules] JoeSyko:
My phone is a DROID4 recently upgraded with an extended battery (3800mAh). Since it is over 2 times the power, I had expected 2 times the batter life. However, I have been getting only slightly better than stock performance out of the extended battery.

So this weekend I applied this module & began the process of letting it discharge. I hit 1% at 6:03 pm Saturday nite. I played Ingress for about an hour & browsed the web for another hour before calling it a nite. The phone was still at 1% when I woke up. This leads me to believe that there is more life to be had than what I've been getting if I can go an additional 14 hours at the 1% mark.

I farted around on the phone playing this game & that just trying to kill the battery & I finally did so @ 8 am Sunday morning. I fully charged (with the phone off) back to 100% & then powered it back on & continued my normal usage. I plugged it in last nite @ 40% with maybe 8 hours use. Today will be my first real test but my experience so far has been no real noticeable improvement. Is there something I should have done differently?

so finally is it safe or not?

hi guys , recently I bought an iNew v3 , and the battery is a real mess!

It was charged 100% at 5 am , and now it's 6.11 am and i barely used it for about 8 - 10 minutes. guss what?! battery has only 77% power left!.

but it's 4 pm now and it still has 20% power left. so it's definetly not calibrated. although today i had an average use of the phone. it has a 1830mah it has to last longer than this!

do you think doing this method will help me?

is it gonna damage any part of the phone? be realistic ! don't comment by saying you are doing this by taking the risk of damage ,, blah blah... tell me an honest answere.
