[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strife89:
(Note: I know just enough about UNIX-likes and what load averages are to get myself in trouble. :p )

Partially out of sudden curiosity, and partially out of frustration with my newly-acquired Razr M's short battery life, I poked around the developer tools and found the process/load average overlay, and left it on before pocketing my phone. (Note: it's running stock; 98.30.1)

I checked on it periodically, and it didn't take long to notice some incredibly high load averages when powering on the screen. The attached screenshot is the most ridiculous I've noticed thus far; having averages of near 15 across the board is not uncommon, but I have seen far more ... normal averages from time to time (around 3 across the board, usually).

What really disturbs me about this is that I'll usually find these high loads when the phone has been left to idle for LONG periods of time. I tried clearing all the widgets off of my launcher and minimizing background processes, but to no avail. Just what on earth could be causing this?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
I think just vzw bloat!

Get on the dst debloated SS or unlocked rom in my signature links. Then you could restore one or the other & compare.

It could be a bad app.

Do a safe boot up. (But how safe are you with the stock bloat?)

Pwr off

Pwr on

At the first sight of the big m press & hold the vol down & stay on it to home.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strife89:
Bootloader's locked, and I can't root. (Yet, hopefully.)

I've been pretty picky about what I install on my phone (most apps are installed on my tablet first, for testing/fooling around with).

I've uninstalled some software nonetheless, and I've disabled most of the bundled software.

I'll do some comparisons between that and normal booting later, and see what happens.

For 98.30.1? That's fresh news to me!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NotNowNotMe:
Brainless Android start-up, thinking it has infinite CPU power, when it only has four cores on an old tablet. Wedges the thing with load averages above 20 for a good 10 to 15 minutes until it calms back down to about 4 or fewer process waiting to run... The becomes responsive again at about 3. No apparent way short of uninstalling about every app to control processes launched at boot/reboot/wake, tailor apps so they don't launch background activities, etc.
[Sony Xperia ZR] damithadka:
ZR is in lack with customized ROMs based on the stock rom

I'm tired of CM and other Roms

Only 2 roms are there based on stock...

Please developers..i beg you to develop more stock based roms
[Sony Xperia ZR] adryanodej:
such a great phone with such a poor development .. :( that`s a shame ..
[Sony Xperia ZR] damithadka:
True..most powerful phone in that range
[Sony Xperia ZR] GT-S5830:
Really poor development, for no flashable zip recovery via clockworkmod that compatible with stock rom, so could switch easily from stock 4.3 to cyanogenmod roms

Already unlocked bootloader, cm reverted to stock, lack sony features like camera superior auto, album with geotagging, dualshock support, stamina mode, small apps ported for zr

Problem with stock is too much bloatware to drain battery
[Sprint LG Optimus G] EFEXR:
does anybody know which 4.4 rom currently has MHL support?

I just bought a MHL from newegg and to be honest I dont know if the MHL that is not working or the ROM that does not support it.

Im currently on Carbon 4.4 ROM (1/1/14 build) and it doesnt work for me. Can someone please recommend me a 4.4 ROM that supports MHL?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bubblabuster:
I've heard the beanstock 4.4 ROM supports MHL, although you may run into heat issues with the slimkat kernel that's included (I think it's overclocked). It's based off of cyanogenmod 10.2 which, although is 4.3, will support MHL if you decide to go that route. Besides that, I haven't seen support in any other 4.4 ROMs unfortunately, but I haven't personally tried any either.

What are good roms that work with safestrap and MK2 so far all that works is Hyperdrive but im not really a fan of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
Search, search....and search. There is a thread asking which roms are available for SS that I'm sure is no more than 2 pages away. Your options are limited, and IMHO it doesn't get better than hyperdrive at the moment. The only others are backups you restore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GalaxySubie:
I have been searching and havnt come up with much im trying to see whats closest to CM11 or AOSP 4.4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
Nothing will be close, as only touchwiz roms are safestrap compatible. No aosp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] GalaxySubie:
That is why I still have my Nexus 4 on CM11i will be so happy when the bootloader is unlocked ill never update my phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
Hopefully the s4 will be unlocked (again) soon. Some promising work being done by surge and jeboo.

Look for omega rom in verizon s4 general and foxhound in verizon s4 development (both backups). Only other 2 options I have seen. I think there is a deodexed stock rom too somewhere.

hi. i've looked around for few days and i'm starting to think that what i'm looking for does not exist, but maybe some of you can help me.

I'm looking for a bluetooth adapter to use my headphones with built in microphone as a wireless headset. I've found many of them, but they all use the microphone and controls integrated in the adapter, but that's not what i'm looking for. I wish i can use the headphone's built in microphone and controls (play/pause/answer, vol+, vol-), so i can place the receiver everywhere i want without thinking if receiver's microphone can pick up my voice or if the controls are easy to reach etc...

Does anybody know something like that?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I have reviewed before wireless receiver/transmitter: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2512128

But the problem it will only transmit wirelessly the audio, not the control signals of play/pause and volume up/down on your original headphone cable. That is why all those wireless converters, like the one I reviewed here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2323402 - will have all the controls originated inside of the transmitter instead of sending the audio and control signals from external source.
[General Accessories] glenthompson:
Simply try Belkin or Logitech.
[General Accessories] KoRRo89:
i've read your reviews, i'm in a hurry so maybe i've missed something, but if i understood correctly the anker only streams in one direction per time, so no comunication, the antec uses a mic integrated in the device itself, correct?

i don't understand, transmitting the controls from the headphone is not possible because of some kind of technical limitation or every manufacturer just choose to use integrated controls? anyway controls are a secondary problem, the really important thing is the mic. there should not be any technical problem in getting the audio from the headphones, right? the transmitters with integrated microphone have already all the necessary components, they're anly connected to the "wrong" mic, right? it seems strange that not a single manufacturer uses the inline mic of the headphones.

i've found nothing useful. from logitech i've found only the NP 980-000541 that is meant to use at home with standard speakers needs to be plugged into a wall socket and doesn't support the mic at all. from belkin i've found the G3A2000cw that is exacly the same as logitech and the F4U037cw that is meant for car and draws power from the 12v cigarette plug.
[General Accessories] vectron:
You will be facing a lot of limitations. Any Bluetooth transmitter will take only audio input (from 3 wire connection, L/R/ground and compress it and transmit it wireless to your phone where the audio is received and decoded. The two way communication between phone and transmitter involving mic is terminated at that transmitter, so you can't use an external mic on your existing headphone.

My advice, just buy another wireless bt headset with all the controls built in.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Foxx:
I was using the Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.9 to flash stock back onto the device when it hung. Went to a black screen and then refused to power on. To elaborate, it will not display a battery icon when on the charger, nor can I get the device to display anything on the screen with any button combination. No fastboot. No twrp. Nothing. The only sign of life I have gotten from it is when connecting a usb to my computer (Windows 8.1) and holding down the power button on the device, I can hear it "connect" to the computer. In device manager, it shows up as APX. It had previously been shown as a USB device that could not return an ID...or something to that effect.

Without being able to boot the device up, I am clueless as to what to do. I have tried charging it for an hour. I have tried all button combinations, along with holding them for various lengths of time. I am just out of ideas and can't seem to find anyone else experiencing this exact issue.

Is anybody with more experience able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biglil1:
This happened to me awhile ago. When I first started to read about this issue it was that the battery becomes lose causing this issue. Another is just letting it sit idle for so long and no matter what the battery level it would cause this as well. Sorry can't remember all the technical stuff on that one.

I eventually contacted asus and sent it back. About two weeks later I was sent a new one.

Hello everyone and thanks to all the developers for the knowledge.

I've searched in the forum but still can't find the answer, so I have one question:

I bought a new battery, wich is still in the blister. I've already flashed my phone before (specifically Infuse 4g) with Custom Rooms, and had no problem.

My question is if it's good to use the new battery and flash the cellphone after charging it completely (i've read already battery university and pages like that for the health of the battery), or, if is it better to keep the actual battery, then flash, and then change the battery for the new one.

I know it's possible to re-calibrate the battery after flashing with programs, but I also believe that the first charge it's extremely important for the new one, and the stats for the previous one might affect the new one.

What would you recommend?

Thanks.:)

[General Questions and Answers] glenthompson:
You should def go ahead with the new battery.
[General Questions and Answers] PradeepMurugan:
There is nothing related with battery and flashing roms

Only sometimes you may get calibration problem which can be simply calibrating battery by using battery calibration app from playstore or deleting battery_stats.bin file
[General Questions and Answers] Nitro1max1:
It doesn't really matter to much when you flash the rom, just i would clear the battery stats after you flash it just to be sure.

To do this add a shape over the top of a icon and set to the same size as the icon and make the shape transparent and add the matching hotspot

All the best

I think he means where the scroll bar at the bottom remains static,here's how to do it

go to browse themes and select settings

in settings click advanced,then click dock

in these settings select show dock

go back to your home screen and drag the icons you want to stay to the dock area and there you have it

your icons now appear to remain

hope this helps

Thanks for the tips guys. going into more detail I was actually going to slightly edit an existing theme and add stationary text near the top of the screen. I think for that dj's method works so thanks for that.

Hello there people. I'd not new to this website.... I've just been a ghost that was finally forced to register for this site.

I have a

Tmobile Galaxy S3 (SGH T-999)

Now, I rooted my phone with CWM a while back.

So then after a couple of days, I decided that I wanted a Custom Rom. Turns out that it wasn't compatible for my phone.

So I got put in a bootloop.

I was able to Access Recovery and Download mode.

I factory reset my phone from there, formatted dalvik, all of that.

I downloaded a stock bootloader and stock Rom from here for my phone

I tried to use odin to flash the stock bootloader onto my phone. From what i can remember i saw, boot.img, Compete(Write) operation failed.

Now when i booted my phone all i see is

it just...... Activates

Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies and try again.

Therefore i cannot access recovery mode anymore but i can still access Download Mode. I cannot see it boot at all.

Some Info while in download mode:

ODIN MODE

Product Name: SGH-T999

Custom Binary Download: Yes(1Count)

Current Binary:Samsung Official

System Status:Custom

Qualcom Secureboot:Enable

Warranty Bit:0

Bootloader Ap swaev:1

Here's how it looks when i try to flash stock rom or virtually anything onto my phone.

<ID:0/003> File analysis..
<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I've given up on trying to do this myself and I now have to suck up my pride and ask for help.

Is there still hope, or do i have a $500 Paper Weight? Please Help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
What file did you download and flash? You posted in the sprint section sph710. If you flashed something for this model instead of your model that could be the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BakeThatCupcake:
Sorry about that. I was rushing lol. I forgot what rom i downloaded. It was off an rooted app. I think it was ROM Manager.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
That doesn't help. If you have a T-Mobile phone and you flashed something for a sprint phone then you need to download a T-Mobile ROM and flash. Or use a stock T-Mobile tar file and use Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BakeThatCupcake:
I remember now. I downloaded a CyanogenMod Rom. I did rebooted without deleting everything on my phone. Then i got soft brick. And I'm pretty sure, It will say Get pit file....... Complete(Write) Fail. As usual.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BakeThatCupcake:
Great news. I tried to flash root66 on my phone. Which almost installed but failed. Now when i boot up my phone, I get put in the boot loop BUT I can access the recovery mode from there now. Now what? Do I install CMW or something or just stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Sir, just download a ROM for your phone model. But as I can see (and I think others members too) the safest is going back to stock until you understand the difference between your phone model and others.

Do you realize you keep posting in the sprint section? Thats going to make a huge difference. I keep asking because I don't think you realize you are in the sprint section and I'm assuming you keep downloading and flashing Sprint roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BakeThatCupcake:
I know I'm posting in the sprint model, I didn't know when I first made this thread because I was in panic mode and I was about to be late for my mid term while making this thread. Can you give me a break? I really don't have time to make another one in the proper section.. + I didn't flash any sprint roms. I have a T mobile galaxy s3. And the Root66 Rom i attempted to flash was for SGH T-999. It failed but I was able to actually get into recovery mode again but it's stock recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I wasn't trying to be a jerk, just trying to clarify. You'll get more help in the correct forum. Just because it's the same phone doesn't mean everything works the same. There are differences from one model to the next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] BakeThatCupcake:

And there's no where in any of my posts where you see me say I don't have time to FIX it. I said I didn't have time to POST IN THE RIGHT SECTION.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usatf1290:
My phone had really bad screen burn in, asked for a replacement under warranty.

The replacement apparently had a motherboard defect, eventually not recognizing the battery and all sorts of other crazy behavior.

The second replacement has a dent in the glass (not crack), and under that dent are some black ghost images that look like crack lines. As if someone cracked their screen and Verizon never replaced the digitizer/Amoled panel, just the glass.

I'm worried this will get worse, and then Verizon will claim I did it and that it voided the warranty. So I'll send this one back too.

Let's see how many replacements I can go through before one works how I want it to. :good:

I got into the habit of taking my sealed refurbished phones with me to my bored Verizon corporate store and opening them with the manager. We both got some laughs at the utter crap they send out. I never wanted blamed for their mess.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lord_Tardis:
You can of course ask to recive a new and not a refurbished one. I had an issue with the charge port not accepting the cords so I called they sent a refurbished with the same issue so I called again and asked for a new phone not a refurbished as I already had issues, and they sent me a brand new one. It never hurts to ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] reeladdiction:
I agree, at this point I would pretty much demand a new phone after you've already received 2 bad refurbs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
I got some horrible replacements sent to me when I had a Galaxy Nexus...I think 5 altogether (I then demanded to be sent an s3, and they actually agreed). I even had a replacement s3 sent to me that lasted for all of two hours before the backlight died. I never got a new phone sent to even though I asked multiple times... But you never know until you ask.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usatf1290:
I wish I would have done this! I received the third replacement today, and it's "STA" date on the back is 1/11/2014.

Unfortunately it has 4.3 already installed on it. So only possibly root for me.

I thought it would be new because of that date, but I did a screen test, and it still isn't a new phone, there are dark artifacts. Testing everything out right now to make sure its ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
after the third swap theyll give you a diffrent phone if you ask
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] putney1477:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
unless its been in a warehouse for some time probably
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] usatf1290:
With my luck they'd give me a Galaxy S3 Mini, haha (I'm assuming you can't choose the phone?). This latest replacement, albeit pre-flashed 4.3, is fine so far. I'm happy with just root and safestrap for now. My Nexus 7 (2013) is my toy now. :good:

They will give you a phone just as good or better (like an s4)
