[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slickzor:
Hello people!

Before I want to install a custom 4.4.2 custom ROM on my HTC Sensation I would like to know if the backup I have created with my stock rom will be recoverable once the custom rom is installed. I have put all phonenumbers on my HTC One already (manually which was a pain, my other phone didn't allow backing up all phone numbers and the simcard was too old to be backed up), and I would like to not go through that process again :).

How do I make sure that my phonenumbers are recoverable on the phone once the custom ROM is installed?

Do I have to send all phonenumbers to the simcard (if this will save them whilst installing the custom rom) or will the backup recovery suffice?

Thanks in advance!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:
dude your Google account saves all your contacts :eek:

or maybe you are using only SIM card contacts and not pushing(copying) your contacts to Google account :/

you can try any app from playstore to backup your contacts

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] elheffe:
No idea what ROM or kernel you are using but if the kernel supports fast charge just download a fast charge app from the play store. Alternatively check the Roms performance settings and enable fast charging that way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
What rom are you running?

If Uber is compatible, than Bob is your uncle.

I dont know all the proper terms so please bare with me lol. I ended up purchasing the Samsung watch in December. I have the S4 for Metro PCS. Metro didnt release the 4.3 update til the end of Dec. I went ahead and changed my phone with the help of some people online to T Mobile 4.3 Now that Metro released it I was wondering if anyone could help me go back to my Metro rom for my phone. I backed everything up when I changed over to T Mobile. I just have no clue how to put metro back on my phone. Any help would be wonderful!

If you did a backup in recovery go back into recovery and do a restore.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JvLeger:
I dont remember how to get back into recovery. :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: recovery mode

Power down the phone or remove battery, replace battery then press both

the volume up and power button at the same time and let go of the buttons

as soon as you see tiny neon text on the top left side of the phone to get into

recovery mode.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vigz:
Do you remember what recovery you had when you made a backup? You should be able to restore to it without having to wipe data.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JvLeger:
No clue. All I know is I backed it up to my SD card that I put into my phone so I know where the backup would be if I needed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JvLeger:

You go to Custom Recovery, then go to back up and restore setting, then choose restore from sd card, if it's not there try choosing restore from external .

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mswilson2007:
So, after doing a smidgen of research I found out that charge time relates directly to the amp output of the wall adapter. Now, on to my question...

I bought a 10 foot charger from a local 7-11 knowing it was probably not of any quality but thinking it would at least charge my phone. However, it didn't, my s4 would actually lose charge while connected. Now that I have a small understanding of the amp thing, I can see how the standard 2.0 amp Samsung charger would have trouble producing enough power to travel 10 feet AND THEN charge my s4.

My question is, if I were to get a higher rated adapter that's been tested at say 4-5 Amp output, would that produce enough power to travel 10 feet AND THEN charge my s4? And what variables would be included? Like with it being a cheaper USB Cord could the extra power burn the cord out? Are USB cords rated as for the power it can safely carry? Does the Galaxy s4 have any safety precautions in the event that TOO much power was coming through?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
A charger with more than a 2.1A rating will not do anything for you. Or I should say, the Galaxy will not accept more than a 2.1A rating. Whether it helps "push" the current through the cable I dunno.

But for reference, any high quality cable longer than 6' is going to suffer from a lower charging rate.

Also, there are two types of cables. You have "charging cable" and "data cable". The data cable is not going to give you high charging rates. It's about 1/4 the charging speed actually.

Go to amazon.com and look up red label charging cables for some good product.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ports394:
Ok... so physics won't change..just because you don't understand physics.

The longer the cable--the bigger the voltage drop and you'll see a lower current flow/charging rate. 3-5 feet is optimum..ever notice that is all OEM's give you.

7-11 cord is probably garbage.

Monoprice a few 3ft cords.

Also.. the phone DRAWS amps.. the charger does not PUSH amps.. You can hook up a 5amp charger, but if the phone was designed to only draw 1.8A or 2.0A, that is all it will draw.. you can't shove more current into it.

If you want a good second charger that does higher rates, Anker makes a good 40W charger than will work to charger iPads, S4's, iphones so it.. itll provide enough power for all those devices.

Hello, being noob again here...

I bought a MiniSD for my 9100, but I can't find a way to get my synch-ed files written automatically over it instead than the usual internal folder. Since the main point for the card was it to store large synched files, is there any way to get ActiveSync to point to the card directly?

Thank you for your help...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sh500:
I've been using this program for a while now; works great:

http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=985

Syncs any file/folder from the PC to any file/folder to PDA- including the storage card. Works in conjuction with ActiveSync.

Hi,

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bubism:
Mobsync is WONDERFUL!

I tried many other shareware options before reading your suggestion, but Mobsync is just perfect. No weird logic (another one only synched in one direction, but not the other...), no absurd limits (yet another one would only sync up to eight folders), no cost!

Yeah!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bubism:
Ahem. Maybe I was a bit early in my enthusiasm.

Yes, the new sync program works just fine... but if I switch the 9100 off while connected by cable to my PC, somehow in a short while it springs back to life, soft resets by itself and... well, after that it's just fine, but I suppose this behavior is initiated by the new syncher.

Anybody else experiencing this?

[General Questions and Answers] JELLYWAX:
I'm using the Acer A210 if that makes any difference.

I've wiped and installed different ROMs and the bouncing app bug persists, I've searched EVERYWHERE for a solution but can't seem to find one.

No matter what app I use a bar will come up between the status bar and actual app the same thickness as the status bar. On the old ROM I used it used to only rarely happen and only happen often in the Google Voice app but now with the new ROM I have installed (was forced to update ROM as I woke up and suddenly the tablet wouldn't go passed the Acer boot screen) it's on EVERY app I use and drives me crazy. I'm pretty sure it's not a hardware issue as it's only persistent in apps, never on the homescreen, lockscreen, nor does the status bar move, thus the screen itself isn't projecting the pixels to move, it's something within the coding itself I assume.

My other issue I'm having is my lockscreen is completely locked to landscape mode and I'd like for it to be able to be locked to portrait or at least have the ability to auto-rotate, I'm sure that's the easier to solve problem of the two but they're both driving me nuts.

If I could get some codes for the files I need to edit and a simple how-to that'd be amazing.

Any workarounds are welcome and any help is appreciated, thanks!

After the 3 zip files were successfully installed. I rebooted system. The LG logo came on for a second and the screen turn black. I left the phone for 30 minutes hoping it was part of the ROM loading.

I can go back to twrp holding down power button + volume down and do a factory reset. Tried re installing ROM and apps. Same thing happens again.

I haven't tried to format data because then I won't have a ROM to install and reading other posts it just doesn't help.

You'd be better served to adjust your location to battery saving mode and set your location reporting to OFF before simply turning off Google Now.

Give those a shot first and monitor your battery life for any increase.

Turning off location reporting and adjusting your location mode doesn't mean you have to turn off Google Now. You can still use the feature just fine w/o those extra battery draining options.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Google Now itself doesn't drain much battery but the types of cards you have it pull up for you certainly can. Weather updates will wake your phone, as will location based cards.

I use mine with Locations off just for sports updates, search recommendations and reminder support. It will never wake my phone and battery drain is minimal.
