[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
You did factory reset and you wiped cache and dalvik cache? What was consuming your battery most? BTW CM10.2 is draining battery more than stock and CM10.1 I think.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusion_RIP:
Yes, the usual drill - factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik. Each of the times I flashed a new ROM.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Discharge/full charge 3-4 times. It should make it more normal... In Battery settings, what is shown to drain most?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusion_RIP:
The top drainers are-

1. Android System - 21%

2. Android OS - 18%

3. Mediaserver - 16%

4. Apollo - 12% (listened to music for over an hour before last recharge, using headphones of course)
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
This is first chageing after installation? Probably Mediaserver scan something, after it is done it will not drain that much. Like I told, do 3-4 cycle of discharge/charge. After that you will have better picture about battery life.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gongalo:
I bought another battery and for my surprise I got the same performance. So I investigate and I installed a battery calibration. You must be root for use it. You must charge the phone all the night, and on the morning, you launch the application without unplug the phone to the charger. Once you did it, unplug it, and try!

You must do it after every ROM install.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fusion_RIP:
As shut_down said, the battery pretty much figured itself out after a couple of discharge cycles. Right now, I charge it once every two days! :highfive:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
I want to try this too...

It's charging until 100% and then use until 0% then charge again???

Or is charge until 100% then discharge a little and charge again until 100%??
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Charge to 100%, discrarge to something about 0% (0-5%). And again charge to 100%.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fbs:
there isn't such thing as battery calibration. 10.2 is a battery drainer, period
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shiningb:
Offtopic: I remember Saint from MadTeam said that battery calibration didn't existed... And i agree with him...

Well i tried this (I discharged my phone completely) and after charging overnight, it feels good...

Still testing...

If i play n64 on my phone for 1h, then the screen time lasts around 2h30m...

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sempremocas:
The wildfire recognizes 64gb microsd? I have seen that officially recognizes only 32gb but also other mobile phone models indicate so and some users have tried microsd 64gb and were supported. Someone has tried?

thank you very much
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
I've heard that it can, but I have never owned a card that big to test with :/
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sempremocas:
I would like to be sure because I'll buy a card on ebay. Its price is 10 euros, if I buy another would be throwing money.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavy_metal_man:
hopefully another user will be able to wager in here, i believe that htc state that it can only handle 32gb. I wouldn't buy one unless i was sure as well :) unless i could use it with another bit of tech of mine if it didnt work out :/
[HTC Desire S] madcow_mda:
I've noticed that my Desire S tends to reboot when going into the cold. Inside it appears to work (most of the time at least). But when I go outside i get a reboot.

At first I thought it'd be a battery thing, but the battery seems to be securely fastened and after a reboot the phone works again so i'm kinda at a loss

I don;t really know how to troubleshoot this issue. Any suggestions? Or did anybody have similiar issues?
[HTC Desire S] zyvesian:
I really think that would be a bad contact on your battery.

i have many boot rom problem now on my i9505 and i remember now that i flashed for wrong some week ago a i9500 rom! maybe can be this the cause of problems that i have now (on miui rom power menu doesn't work, cm11 and many other roms are stuck at logo rom.. etc etc)

there is a way for solve this? i read somewhere that i must flash the pif file and repartion with odin, is that correct?

done with 4.4.2 leaked firmware, but i always have bootloop i i try to install those roms mentioned
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclarkg:
You need to install the official firmware that came with your phone out the box, if you are on the old bootloader then It came with 4.2.2, if it came with the new one then it came with 4.3, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/2/ and look for the official firmware of your phone and carrier, then download it and flash it with odin. Leaked TW 4.4.2 won't solve anything, since it is a test build it can do worse than good.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dclarkg:
Just use the link I posted before, you just need to select the phone model and your country/carrier and download the firmware and flash it with Odin. To download the firmware from the site you'll have to make an account for sammobile.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hapticc:
I find AOSP plain and boring so i try new homscreen replacement now and then and have compiled a list of top 5 android homescreen replacements and they are

1] Next launcher

2] Go launcher

3] themer

4] Buzz launcher

5] Nova launcher

here is the blog post i wrote about it Top 5 android theming apps
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] hapticc:
welcome
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Also Apex Launcher (similar to Nova but some slight differences).

I tend to use either Nova or Apex (currently Nova since they were the first to add in KitKat's transparent status bar) but Themer is on track to be very cool for people who want something a little less like an extended version of the stock launcher. It's still in beta but it's from the folks at mycolorscreen who have become the best source for custom theming on Android.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] NVardan:
My number 1 spot would go to Themer. Liked it from my old phone. Since I'm not that keen on customizing anymore, and I want to have Google Now with just 1 swipe away on my homescreen, I don't use it currently. But from all the launchers I have tried so far, themer is my favorite one. The second place goes to Action Launcher. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] aangelsmithh:

[MENTION=2550899]hapticc[/MENTION] - your page isn't opening mate

about the launchers, my favorite atm is holo launcher...

cos all i need from a launcher is gesture swipes.. up & down for notification & app drawer..

nova & apex have these only in paid version..

i wish GEL would incorporate gestures..

along with access for google now & LMT, that would be perfect

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] direktive4:
I was always a nova user since i had a galaxy nexus. Since getting the nexus 5 though, i discovered more customization tools for themes and widgets, and ive been using Go launcher just because it works with the aesthetic/homescreen setup im currently using.

If nova launcher had a few more tweaks to it like icons not clipping/cropping, id probably go back to using it.

TSF launcher is great but next launcher has replaced it.

Yeah they updated it to work on their website but the play store version wasn't updated yet. I had a thread on it. The only thing I don't like about it is non transparent nav bar. The notification bar is transparent but not the nav bar. In the broken version it was transparent. Not sure why it was removed unless that's what caused the issues

[General Questions and Answers] gauravahluwalia:
I just update to the PROBAM rom (v 1.2.4) for Note 2 GT-N7100. I had made a complete backup via titanium backup but somehow its not restoring.

Is it possible to restore from the NANDROID backup? I had done a ROM backup (via CWM recovery) before flashing the PROBAM.
[General Questions and Answers] flametai1:
If I remember correctly using the Pro version of Titanium backup will allow you to pull individual parts of CWM backups if you have it. Don't quote me on that though.

Also if you had contacts sync on shouldn't you be able to retrieve them through the same google account?
[General Questions and Answers] gauravahluwalia:
The issue is with the ROM I guess. I am restoring apps + DATA using TB (I guess restoring data is a bad idea) and this is making the contacts app itself to FC. The ROM is one of the best I have seen.

Anyways I got a workaround for it. Restored it back to previous ROM, backed up the vall logs, messages and contacts both using the contacts app and the super backup up. This should work now hopefully.

One question: This ROM is AOSP. I will lose the s-pen. I hardly use the hover or smart stay or whatever. However the one thing i want to keep is the ability to scribble on screenshots. Is there any workaround at all for this? I know few apps like screenshot ultimate pro etc. lets you do this, but i have seen mixed reviews about it
[General Questions and Answers] flametai1:
Unfortunately I have no idea... I do know that GMD Pen control (I believe it's called that) should be able to add back in gestures with it such as < going back and ^ triggering menu and allows you to make custom ones and more. I bought the pro version because I like it that much! I would try the free version first before buying it though as I don't know whether it will add the gesture capability back in or not.
[General Questions and Answers] gauravahluwalia:
Downloaded screenshot ultimate pro. I find it much better. It detects when a screenshot is taken and then asks you if you want to edit (including drawing) it or share etc. The only negative is that the app saves the screenshot as well. So basically you have double pictures and you also get the screenshot notification twice.

Thanks for your help :)

Mind you, my 2 hours GPS is using real GPS while going out on my bike. Drainage is around 10% a hour while playing music on the speaker as well. I never turn off GPS positioning on the phone.

Anyway seems like battery life on 4.4 is on par with 4.3... Would probably be a little better if using ART but qremote won't work so... :crying:
[LG Optimus G Pro] deadenz:
oh I see, my gps just stays on for simple things like facebook and whatnot, not actually using gps to navigate. thanks for the clarification.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
I've seen vast improvements in terms of battery life on KK. But I ended up sticking to MIUI as the custom kernel in it gives me the best battery life I've seen on this device. I've done extensive tests on ways to improve battery life across all of my devices for the last 3 years and it mainly seems to boil down to the kernel. As we don't have any custom kernels that support 4.4 or a stable 4.3 kernel, we're stuck using the default CM kernel. The new MIUI over in the general section includes a very well made custom kernel that includes the intellidemand governor which would give me around 6 hours of screen on time in a days use with normal usage with the setup I use. MIUI also gives me the best deep sleep I've seen on.. Well, any device I've used lol. Never been a big fan of it but the battery life is what made me change my mind. It also includes a working version of qremote. The only drawback I've seen is that it's on 4.2.2 but man, is it nice. I'd post battery life screenshots but they wouldn't really be helpful as I've changed to the 9300mAh ZL battery lol.

I know there are many devices out there which don't allow this, but is there a workaround to get this working on my LG G Pad 8.3?

My device is rooted.

16gb is just not enough memory these days to have all the apps and games you want on the device at the same time. i have a 64gb external card and would love to use this space for app data.

I know there is a workaround where you can move the data you need to the external card and move it back when you want to use the app but in this day and age it seems ridiculous to have to do that!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clemson77on:
I have no idea. From what I hear, apps won't perform quite as good if they're on the external storage. If that's the case, they may be afraid that it will ruin the user experience. I just put apps that don't demand a ton of performance on my SD card so I can't verify if that's true.

But I like choices, so I wish they'd make it easier with a notice that performance may suffer or something. Also, Google is behind Android, and they want you storing data in the cloud, not on your device. That's why none of the Nexus devices have external storage.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nk33:
well storing data in the cloud is fine as long as its not data thats needed to run apps. one step forward 2 steps back!

FolderMount is more what you want. It does not require a special format, and it moves the data which is what really takes up the space. For example Bards Tale has over 3.5GB of data, and it moves ALL of that. The applications themselves hardly take up any space. It even survives rom updates like updating CM11 nightlies for example. I uninstalled Link2SD. It didn't move much, and caused problems when I did ROM updates.

C0BRA01 you are a legend!!

When i try to send the bootloader, it stucks and the tablet posts under the infos on the bootloader screen: FASTBOOT STATUS - DATA00140000.

And thats it. I waited 2 hour, it still stucks on sending bootloader. So i downloaded the Unified Android Toolkit, install the fastboot driver and tick the option to install a new recovery... It still stucks on sending bootloader. In Youtube Videos, i saw, that the sending finished about 0,2 s. Thats 1280kb! Why doesnt work it on my tablet. I had root, but i didnt tick the usb debugging. So when i switch on my tablet, it comes to the bootloader, and its the activated bootloader( i can switch to recovery, reboot bootloader, power off, reboot system,..) and its unlocked. If i reboot into the recovery, it also comes to the activated bootloader. Its also when i tick the reboot system. So what can i do? Is it hardware bricked? Or whats the problem? I have the bootloader version MANTAMF01 and the H/W Version 8. Can anyone helps me? :(
