[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I've always had absolutely outstanding battery life with sense roms, granted I use custom kernels with undervolting. I've flashed basically every ROM here and I usually get maybe a full day out of sense under heavy usage and maybe half a day out of AOSP. Can somebody explain why? I'd always thought the SenseUI used more resources and had more backgrounded process running than AOSP. Benchmarking also reflects that. But I still get more usage from sense than aosp. Am I missing something? I also used custom kernels with aosp and undervolted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] polar2792:
I'm probably wrong but the phone was built for sense not aosp. I've wondered the same thing myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I don't think physical aspects are the reason for battery life here though. You'd think a ROM running fewer processes would have better life, but here it's the opposite. Unless Sense actually DOES run fewer system apps than aosp does...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
I've had better luck on MeanROM, which is Sense based than AOKP, but I'm new to the latter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
Does anyone on here run AOSP-based ROM's and get a full day's worth of battery life? Any tips/tricks for those of us on here having battery life issues with AOSP?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Depends on what aosp rom you're talking about. 4.4 naturally sucks more battery than 4.3 does. I recommend using tasker to switch off data when your screen is off, and reactivate every 15 minutes or so to make sure you still get background syncing. Not my idea, someone else posted this and it works great. Also undervolt if possible (make sure to stability test) and reduce screen brightness. Screen on uses a surprising amount of battery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
I already use Llama to contol wifi/GPS/BT and cycle mobile connections with the screen off. You need a custom kernel to undervolt, right? What program do you use to control that?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I use kernel tuner. Be careful to not set anything to boot until you've thoroughly tested voltages.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BaumerS4:
What settings on kernel tuner have you gotten away with changing without causing apps to FC or the phone to randomly reboot? I've played around with the governors a little bit, but I'm not familiar with all of the options in kernel tuner.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I anyways is interactive. Undervolt in will require extensive testing on your part since no phone is the same so my voltages may not work on your device. I don't touch anything that's in the governor mod section since I don't know what I'm doing there.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] samueldewit:
Hey guys and girls,

My Samsung Galaxy Mega I9205 LTE just keeps encrypting itself after flashing a rom which is stock based.

This is happening:

If I want to restore, after a full wipe (factory + dalvik) it encrpyts itself.

If I want to reflash, after a full wipe (factory + dalvik) it encrpyts itself.

But if I flash a 4.4.2 based rom, nothing wierd happens. But if I flash a stock based rom, it keeps encrypting.

I have used the encryption, but this encryption was done on a 4.4.2 rom. Also I succesfully removed it, but I think it stays on those stock-based rom. I also tried to use my old pass, but it wont work.

What happend, how can I fix it and how do I prevent this from happening?

Any help is appreciated!!

Kind regards,

Samuel de Wit

Hey everyone.

I tried updating my CWM via odin, I did everything as normal.

However when the phone boots back up, It says ( in the top left hand corner )

RECOVERY BOOTING

set warranty bit : recovery

When I put it back into download mode and back into odin, it came up with the green 'pass'

I have tried taking out the battery, and then entering into bootloader, but the phone just resets and comes back up with the same message. There is no way for me to get into bootloader :(

I need help please guys :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ValenteL:
It's normal. The Knox bootloader only like its modules stock.

Whit a Customer Recovery we have : set warranty bit: recovery

Whit a new modem we have : set warranty bit: modem

Whit a new kernel we have : set warranty bit : kernel but in this case we can have at boot "Secure Fail: Kernel" in red and not reboot. May be.

This arrived to me on another device w/ Knox bootloader also.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentykentkent:

I can get into download mode, but I can't even get into bootloader...

Did evrything the same as I have done 10x before, I am guessing it could be a dodgy file we flashed?

Have you tried flashing an older version of CWM ?

I am going to try now..

As will I.

Were you just trying to upgrade your CWM so you could run 4.4 kk ROM's

Or were you going from Stock to root?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apanayis:
Trying to upgrade CWM...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
You need to flash KK with ODIN then let it boot.

You need to either root it using CF-Autoroot or CWM will. Both of these need to support KK.

Latest CF-Autoroot can be found here - http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip

And the latest CWM here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2454079

I don't know how it will play with a Mac though...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentykentkent:
Hey mate

Thanks for your reply.

I was already rooted and running JB 4.3

When you say I need to flash KK with ODIN, is that KK ROM or a KK supported CWM ?

Seriously confused here...

And I already tried downloading the latest CWM which is what got me into this mess in the first place :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Grab the correct CWM for JB 4.3 and flash it, it'll fix you presuming you are running JB -- If not re-flash KK and run the latest CWM - then If if bootloops, take battery out place back in and boot into recovery, wipe cache and boot up into Android
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kentykentkent:
Thanks again for everybody's help. What I did was just flashed the old CWM I was using prior to this new one.

Flashed it via ODIN as usual and it booted perfectly.

Still doesn't help me to upgrade my ROM to 4.4 kk LOL...

Just glad my phone is working again, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Use XEO firmware and Odin 1.85 or 3.07 to flash KK
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apanayis:

OK now im having another problem, managed to get my arse onto a pc, downloaded Odin 1.85, selected cwm 6.0.4.6 tar put phone into download mode and selected PDA on Odin, flash went over no problem but phone will still not reboot.

Now Download mode wont start up with button combination.

On screen showing: RECOVERY BOOTING:

RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
I found that the broken up rom, (BL, AP, CP &CSC ffiles) worked 1st flash.

I flashed 2 Note 3's with no problems, a Singaporean unit and an Aussie one. Both went through easily.

After I flashed the KK rom I installed CWM and/or cf-autoroot...

CWM rooted for me but I like to make sure....

Just let the KK rom boot 1st time, rush through the wizard and then install the rest. You need to factory reset anyway as the JB file system isn't compatible with KK rom...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semantsen:
uncheck "Auto reboot" in Odin .

After flash detach cable from pc and manually boot by long pressing lock button..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I have a verizon galaxy s4 running 4.3 it has an unlocked boatloader and i have rooted it using safe root. I have tried everything to install a custom recovery and I am having no luck. Everything just fails or makes the phone fo into fastboot mode. I have followed every single tutorial on youtube and read almost every thread. I have the MK2 build can someone please help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Unless you have a developer edition you do not have an unlocked bootloader. If you have mk2 build you cannot install a custom recovery. Your only option for custom rom at this point is safestrap and a rom that is compatible with that. You have a lot of reading to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
You have unlocked phone which does not mean unlocked bootloader. Why did you think this? Please research before you brick your phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
when i boot my phone on the splash screen im getting the unlocked logo. I thought that meant i had an unlocked bootloader. Am I wrong? I tried safestrap and it doesnt work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Unlocked symbol doesn't mean the bootloader. You need to read the stickies that explain.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:

what do I know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
What is your problem? These threads are here to help people! All I’m doing is asking a quick question which takes less time than me going through thousands of threads. If you don't want to help you don't have to help just keep it moving. People like you are ridiculous.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
The problem is a lot of people have the same mentality as you, so the same questions get asked over and over and over and over and over.........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
Ok I understand its annoying but most people come on here search for a few minutes and if an answer cannot be found they ask for help. No one is going to sit here and search and search and search and search. People have things to do places to be. Do you just sit here and read forums all day long???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
There are threads that were created by some of the regulars here (including me) which are there to try to help people avoid bricking their phones and to answer questions (like yours) that are asked on a daily basis. That's what he suggested reading. I'm not sure why you're so unwilling to help yourself understand, particularly given the consequences of ill-considered actions. After all, XDA is not a tutorial site, You're expected to read, understand, and take responsible actions based on your understanding.

Flashing a custom recovery on a post-MDK phone is a completely avoidable mistake. Some of us have spent a lot of time writing up explanations of what you can and can't do, so we'll point to those posts rather than repeat ourselves,

The tragedy of YouTube is that nobody updates - people post a video about rooting their original MDK GS4, That was OK back then, but the multiple releases since then have made those videos invalid, but they stay there, enticing people to brick their phones. XDA didn't create those videos and isn't responsible for fixing the problems caused by them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] markanthonyjohn:
The point is that searching and searching is not necessary because all the relevant info is in a couple of pinned threads..... People can be harsh but understand where they are coming - at least you got some useful responses - I would have just ignored (but I guess I couldn't help myself). I trolled for months and read a lot of posts before my first post. Moral of the story is, like the first response said, use safestrap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
People like you that cause so much aggravation in these forums and refuse to take any time at all. You have no problem demanding answers from all of us who take time to read and research........btw, I have set up guides and have a sticky in place to make it easy for S4 owners to understand what they can and can't do with the S4. Grow up.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yotis118:
Hey guys,

A weird question...

So I have had my phone repaired under warranty thru JB Hifi (a brick and mortar place chain in Australia). The repairer supposely replaced the board as it was completely dead (the IMEI # is different so I believe they did replace it). I am not 100% if the water "proofness" still exists now that the board is replaced...

How would I do a quick test and where would I stand in the warranty side of things if the phone dies after the test?

Anyone have any idea? :)

Cheers,

Yots.

I have contacted Sony support and they told me it sounds like the phone needs servicing by their service centre. They mentioned that since its not repaired by them, the water resistance feature might not have been tested/done..

For whatever reason, even though I'm back on 4.1, I'm still having problems.

That would appear to be an issue with the hardware then, unfortunately. I don't think a reset will do anything if you noticed it as soon as you booted since it appears before the OS even started. Has the size or shape changed at all since you first noticed it? Does *gently* bending the tablet in any direction affect its appearance?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Lithium Flower:
I got the Note 10.1 2014 a few days ago and was facing the exact same issue much to my extreme consternation. In my case, I finally figured out it had to do with the auto wake/lock magnet in the book cover I was using. Normally, when the magnet approaches the top part of the screen where the Samsung logo is situated, the sensor in the tablet detects it and turns the screen off. In addition it locks the notification bar and the hardware keys. When the magnet withdraws, it unlocks these and wakes up the screen. Now when you fold the book cover against the back of the tablet like I was doing when using it, the tablet is so thin that the magnet triggers the auto wake/lock sensor on the front and interferes with the normal operation of the screen. It turns the screen off the moment your hand is removed no matter how long it's set to remain on. It locks the notification bar and the hardware keys.

The solution: Use a non-magnetic case. The added advantage of this is that there is some evidence that a magnetic case will mess up the digitizer field and cause S-Pen malfunctions that could be permanent.

I hope this solves your problem, do post back to let us know if this helped!
