[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evestor:
I was trying to get the wifi tethering hack from this thread:

Here

I followed the alternate method and downloaded the modded framework-res.apk for my verizon gs4 which is running 4.3 MK2.

I downloaded it straight from the phone and then copied to the system dir. I changed the permissions with root explorer to 644 and then moved it to \system\framework and rebooted.

Hotspot does not ask me for credentials which is great but I have lost my data connection. Not sure what to try. I downloaded a couple of the framework-res.apks from that thread that I thought were the "stock" ones to put everything back like it was and still no data.

Full disclosure, I did try to rename one of the access points after the initial reboot and now it seems I can't change any of those settings but might not have been able to before and that probably doesn't matter.

Any help is appreicated and I am sorry if this is in the wrong place. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mreyanskie:
Hello, XDA Developers, I am quite new here and this would be my first post. But I do have a bit of knowledge and experience with android phones from reading tuts and stuff. With that aside, I'd like to ask a question.

So, my friend showed me this samsung galaxy tab 3 model s-7900 that had a boot-loop problem, at first I thought he bricked it by flashing custom roms or such but then he told me it just hanged and after restart the loop happened, I checked the web and found out that this is a clone(which makes it fake right?) of the original tab, so my question is, can I flash the original firmware of it? And if yes, where can I find one? Frankly, there is little info about this model.

I have tried the recovery mode solution wherein I wipe the data and reset it to factory settings but it fails and gives an error saying, "/E:Can't mount /system(Invalid argument)"

I would appreciate any help, comment, opinion, and suggestions :)

[NFC Hacking] yonatansss:
I downloaded the app NFC war by radiowar and whenever I click on read a card

or war it tells me to touch a NFC tag but when I do nothing happens.. :confused:

Could someone send me a tutorial for this app or explain to me how it works?
[NFC Hacking] darkguset:
Not sure about the specific app, but typically with NFC (RFID) make sure:

1. Your phone has NFC capability and is turned ON (yes, there have been people trying it without their phone supporting it!!!)

2. Make sure you know where the NFC antenna is on your phone and place the tag right on top of it

3. Maximum distance between the tag and your NFC antenna ~3cm. It might work at greater distance, but typically the shorter the better

4. Your NFC tag is working! If one does not work, try another one. Dead tags is not uncommon.

5. The application may not be compatible with your phone's NFC chip! In that case, the app will simply not work. Check with the developer regarding compatible handsets.

First off this has only been tested on my chinese mt6582 chipset phone. (HDC Note 3 N9000)

It came with a build in CD-Rom option when connected to the computer which mounts an iso file that has a single pdf file, this guide will show you how to replace the .iso file with anything of your choosing.

In this tutorial I will be using the following:

Root Explorer

A rooted mt6582 phone

Damn Small Linux .iso (any .iso should work)

Let's begin,

Start by placing the .iso file on your sdcard

Open Root Explorer and navigate to /system/mobile_toolkit/

In the upper right hand corner tap "Mount R/W"

Copy or move iAmCdRom.iso to your sdcard to have a backup

Move the .iso file you placed on your sdcard to /system/mobile_toolkit/

Rename the .iso file to "iAmCdRom.iso" (spelling has to be exact)

Reboot

Connect usb to computer

Select to connect as "Build-in CD-rom"

It is as simple as that!

Now when you can use your phone to boot operating systems or you can even create your own ISO that contains drivers for your phone

If your phone is a MediaTek device and has the same file structure and option to mount a CD-Rom it should work - if it does please comment and let me know so I can get a running list of compatible devices

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
OS: 4.4.2

Several of us have noticed a significant battery drain even in airplane mode, > 1%/hr . Typically, we've seen >10% discharge overnight.

Here is an example. Put it in airplane mode all night and had location services disabled. Here's the result, > 1%/hr drain. This was with Google Play Services 4.1.

This thread is to collect our observations, experiences, and hopefully find a resolution to this annoying issue. The MOTO G should, in theory, have bad-ass battery life.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Here are the further steps I took in determining a root cause.

1. Do a factory reset.

2. Full charge, leave it on charging for an additional 30mins beyond 100%.

3. Allow play store to update all built-in apps.

4. Add google account, and select the usual items for sync (no location!).

5. Disconnect power cable.

6. Discharge down to < 10%.

7. Full charge

8. Activate airplane mode.

9. Disable location services.

11. Lock screen

12. Disconnect charging cable.

OS: 4.4.2

Google Play Services: 4.0.34

So far, 5+hrs and no decrease in reported battery level. It is still showing 'charged' (i.e. it has not dropped to 99% yet).

Next test: Determine the effect of updating Google Play Services to 4.1

1. Update Google Play Services to 4.1 (newest one)

2. Use normally thru the day.

3. Fully charge phone at night.

4. Activate airplane mode.

5. Disable location services.

6. Lock screen.

7. Disconnect charging cable.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
So when you upgraded to kitkat where you still on goole play services 4.0.34 ??

And if so where did you get google play services 4.1. If it was as an update on the playstore then fair enough but if you have downloaded it from elsewhere then maybe the 4.1 is not supported on moto g running kitkat etc. ie are you creating an issue yourself - of course we dont know yet if google play services is the cluprit anyway.

From your above post it seems your battery issue is fixed with bog standard kitkat, ie you say 5hrs and no drain yet.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Unfortunately, I can't be sure when I noticed the >1%/hr drain - whether before the google play services 4.1 update or after. The update that I installed was signed from Google, and the whole point of it was to decrease battery drain. I find it unlikely that it was the root cause of the battery drain. But, as you can see in my above, I plan to run an experiment to determine the effect of google play services 4.1 update.

I got the google play services 4.1 .apk from here:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...player-new-google-drive-api-preview-and-more/

Btw, 7hrs, and it is still indicating 'charged', and has not gone down to 99%!

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
In installed Google Play Services 4.1. After going thru the same procedure, I am down to 97% after 3hrs using airplane mode and location services off the whole time. Perhaps Google Play Services is the culprit. However one of you mentioned that you observed the drain even with 4.0.3x ... strange. Maybe there are two difference phenomenon in effect? Will let it run some more to confirm the drain rate - then will revert to 4.0.3x to complete the A-B-A test :).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Did a factory reset and the usual basic setup. This time around, my phone was automatically upgraded to google play services 4.1. I found the .apk for 4.0.34 and reverted to that. Then charged to full, and enabled airplane mode and disabled location services. After 2+ hrs, it is still at 100%!

I'll let it run all night to confirm. However, from the looks of it, it seems that google play services 4.1 is causing a ~1%/hr discharge in airplane mode with location services disabled. WTH google? I thought 4.1 was supposed to deliver *better* batt life.

Anywhoo ... will report in the morning.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Okay, here's the morning report. With Google Play Services 4.0.34: 9+hrs in airplane mode and location services disabled and still at 100%!

Then, did a factory reset, and the usual updating of factory apps - which also updated Google Play Services to 4.1. Full charged. Now, I'm down to 98% after < 2hrs.

In summary:

Factory reset and Google Play Services 4.0.34. 0% discharge after 9+ hrs.

Factory reset and Google Play Services 4.1. > 1%/hr discharge.

Sigh, any ideas .. ?

Just to be clear:

With Google Play Services 4.0.34 you had > 1%/hr drain in airplane mode.

And now with Google Play Services 4.1 you have 1% in 8 hrs in airplane mode.

Questions:

1. Was the previous Google Play Services 4.0.34 for sure, or was it 4.0.33? Because the phone initially comes with 4.0.33.

2. Did you do a factory reset each time? If not, did you have other apps installed?

Using Google Play Services 4.1

Just noticed that my wifi was set to always available for scanning. Even though wifi was off, phone in airplane mode, and location disabled - the battery screen still showed 25% drain due to wifi. However, the battery was discharged down to 96% in < 4hrs. 25% of that only accounts for 1% ... the rest of the 3% still discharged in some other manner ..

Recharging back to 100%, and disabled always available for scanning. Will see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, I think I have grounds to replace the phone. Can't think of anything else to do .. battery drain with a factory reset and airplane mode ... sheesh.

I don't know how much power wifi consumes, but per Motorola's specification, the MOTO G should have 14 days standby time. Which means 0.3%/hr battery drain (i.e. 1% every 3-4 hours).

Without a single thing installed is probably the catch with that claim. ;)

Possibly with every possible option turned off too. That may be how they would defend that claim. Lol

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] if0rg0t:
Makes sense. I think with a factory reset. wifi off, and location services off - it replicates the conditions in which that should be possible.

The problem in this thread is that even with a factory reset, and airplane mode on (standby means the radio is on!), and a factory reset, it is consuming 3-5x as much power as it should (1-1.5%/hr vs. 0.3%/hr). That's a big difference.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
But after a factory reset.....a lot of phone options/services are on by default. You'd have to factory reset....And turn off every single option/service the phone has. Running apps in settings would need to be minimal.

On my x, I'm set up just like another user, yet his drain is half mine still..(I'm about 1 percent per hour overnight in airplane...And he's like 0.5).....I gave up worrying about it since I am getting amazing battery life anyway on my x. I am just thinking what they say is true....not all devices are created equal.

I've disabled pretty much everything. LocationServices, unwanted Google stuff like Maps, reinstalled YouTube, etc. I got 8 hours of idle and still 100% on 3G, with 2G, much much less.

I spoke to my network and Motorola, network blame signals in general, Motorola, no resolution. I just hope someone else can reproduce it. In 8 hours maybe 40 second of wakelocks so it's not a rogue app.

My network says the opposite. They say low signal = good battery, and a good signal = poor battery. On 2G I have a great signal, 3G maybe 1 bar. Frustrating.

Just to add, I'm currently on 16 hours phone on, 40 minutes screen time. 92%. I enabled 2G at 100% and it dropped to 98% in 1 hour, so re-enabled 3G.
