[Sony Xperia ZR] KlamKhowder:
I would say the ZR is better. The specs are nearly identical but the ZR has better battery life and is more compact which is what's important to me. The only thing that would make the Z better than the ZR for some people is the screen size, but i just don't want a phone with a 5inch screen.
[Sony Xperia ZR] renz0kuken:
For me, ZR is:

*Perfect in Size

*removable battery

*the camera result better than Z (in my opinion)

*better contrast (in my opinion too)

What i dont like in Z :

*5inch is too big for me

*too much issue (i've seen so much report from Z user in forum like Screen Cracking it self, Overheating, etc)

*Non-Removable Battery+Drain so fast
[Sony Xperia ZR] GT-S5830:
Larger screen = prone cracking inside youre pocket

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
My i9505 stutters in all games, literally all. Even lighter ones like subway surfers, vector, mini motor racing. It drops a couple of frames randomly every few seconds, its 60 but then drops to 57 or 53 and then immediately goes back up.

Heavier games like Vice City, San Andreas, NFS Most Wanted, Iron Man 3, Dead Trigger, Dead Trigger 2, Shadowgun Dead Zone lag and stutter like hell.

NFS MW gets from 25 to 35 fps, GTA VC goes over 30 but often even drops slightly below 20. GTA SA gets 30 max with it stuttering and dropping to around 20. Dead Trigger 2 and Shadowgun DZ get 30 fps but every couple of seconds it suddenly drops to like 28/25/23 and then quickly goes up. Modern Combat 4 goes below 30 as well.

Anyone else with this problem? Or it's just me? Any solutions?

I'm on 4.3 (XXUEMKE), got it out of the box.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popab:
What firmware do you have? Even if you are on 4.3, you should check for updates, because for me, it really made a difference in gaming experience.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
XXUEMKE

So you're saying I should try another 4.3 firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
Wow no one plays games here.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dabreaker9:
Is your phone rooted? Can you check your phone's clock speeds for GPU and CPU?

I wouldn't say I am having the same problems but DT2 simply won't budge from 35fps on any setting except ultra, which has its frame rate cap go up to 60. Weird.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
Yea cpu/gpu are ok, running at 1890/450, I even tried overclocking them, but same fps :S

And no matter what settings I set exactly the same fps and stutters. I don't get it. Haven't seen more than 30 fps in any game except in games like Angry Birds and Vector.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dabreaker9:
... Are you willing to wipe your phone? It might be worth a try.

Alternatively, see if you can reinstall the games (although I doubt that will work).

I don't have 4.3 (running 4.2.2), so I wouldn't know a workaround for your firmware. :/
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazerm:
I have a feeling its about optimization from the developers of the games and not our hardware throttling. Just like how subway surfers will never get 60fps even on the iPhone 5s but the 5s flies with other games. I honestly believe our S4 is capable of running games like GTA at 60fps just fine.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBeast:
Yea that seems to be the problem. That is the only thing that could explain the same exact stutters and low fps no matter which rom, frequency, settings you use. I guess I should've gone with I9500, looks like it's the only one getting games optimized for when it comes to s4.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0gd4n:
I am extremely frustrated with this issue!

I am coming from an S3 and I never had any lag problems with any games! On the i9505, with most games, even less-demanding ones such as PvZ2, after 5 minutes of playing, it starts lagging like hell. Also the phone gets really really hot in the upper part.

I have KT kernel and the KTweaker app, but don't know what exactly to change. Can someone please tell me some settings for this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doodz24:
why gs4 prevent lag during exection

Galaxy S4 always lag during playing all type of games because of overclocking. I notice Htc one is the same specs interms of cpu/gpu but it is totaly perfect with zero lag so the reason is the gs4 overclock to the speed of 1.9 instead 1.7 like HTC one.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Pooper:
I was wondering if it's possible to copy my received sms/mms messages to my PC? There doesn't seem to be an option in Activesync.

I used to use this program: www.mobiledit.com to backup my messages on my old Motorola V3, but that program doesn't (yet) support smartphones, typical!

So if someone could tell me HOW, or if there is any 3rd party software that can do it?

Thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Mr.Clark:
Apparently Kai's Mail+SMS Backup .Net will do it.

I've never used it though.

I think this is the sort of functionality that should be pre-built. The ability to export any settings and messages to a data-file on a PC (or the storage card) ready to be restored after a hard reset/ROM upgrade.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] bluesign2k:
I use Jeyo Mobile Companion to backup sms, unfortunately it cant handle mms.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] Pooper:
Ahh that looks like just the thing im after, thanks! Pity it doesn't support MMS though :( I wonder if that's planned in a future release....

[Xperia Z General] super-user2.3:
Hi guys i decided to get a new phone recently and i am between the Z and the ZR

They are extremely similar with someminor differences so i thought to ask here

Which one do u recommend?

The Z has larger screen and rsolution and looks better

The zr has more battery juice and its replacable and more comfortable to hold in hand

Could u guys help me with this ever help is much appreciated
[Xperia Z General] renzu:
If you want a bigger internal storage & do a lot of gaming of course the xperia z is the answer.
[Xperia Z General] super-user2.3:
No i dont play alot of games but i like watching movies so i need batterylife to be longer but the bigger screen is better for it

Its confusing for me
[Xperia Z General] NamenIos:
For gaming the ZR would probably better as is has the smaller resolution and games should run faster. Although there are not much games that don't run good on the Z.

The updates on the Z are probably last longer as it is the more popular phone. Besides that, if you do not need the replaceable battery (power banks are so big and are such a hassle) I would choose by screen size and haptic, only you can answer what fits yourself better in that regards.
[Xperia Z General] renzu:
i think if you're want to enjoy movie, choose xperia z it has a bigger screen, resolution and pixel density.

Both of the phone doesn't have a great battery life if you're watching movie a lot. :D

Like NamenIos, always prepare powerbank.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinciusG:
Hi guys, some days ago I installed "Android Tuner Free" which has a battery section that shows you many things like the charging rate.

Here is the question, Should it display 1A or 1.2 like the value on the battery charger or it may vary?

If I obtain about 700mah should it be a charger issue?

Thanks :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul c:
the 1 or 1.2A is what the charger can supply. Typically chargers can supply more than what a phone can draw, which is the real question.

Looking through my charge/discharge history with Battery Monitor Widget, I see a few values above 725mAh (the phone will draw more current when the battery is empty, so I guess the upper limit will be around there).

Your case seems normal to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinciusG:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2s:
well i my S3 got screwed and its already out of warranty.. so i went to the local repair shop and he said he'll replace the motherboard.

Now my QUESTION is : How will i know if the motherboard he is replacing will be Brand New and not from any other Second hand phone or any used one....

I asked him .. he said it'll be new.. but still i have a doubt about it... as i am paying the price of NEW one..

So how to make sure the replaced motherboard is brand NEW not swapped from any older one ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] costin85:
You could ask him for the bill or shipment papers that came with the board from samsung or from wherever he got it from.

If its official it should have a serial number or imei that you could verify.

Ask for the packaging it came in.

If it is not new, maybe you could get a reasonable discount.

After all a working mainboard is just as good bee it new or second hand.

Sorry for the bad english.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2s:
Thanks !! but can i check with brickbug app if its still insane or not..

I mean if new motherboard will must be non-insane i guess... or it could be insane ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] costin85:
who knows?

It could be from an older stock or brand new stock.

Thats the downside off mass prudoction in your case.

You can always verify it with those apps.

Until you have it in your hands it is a 50-50 gamble.

Hope you get what you want.

Let us know how it ends up.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2s:
Well i think i can't do nothing about it..

I will make sure from him at least assure me that it won't become dead again soon :p

atleast will be good for 1.5 years ..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys2s:
today he said to come tomorrow as he was busy putting IMIEI number on the motherboard..

IF it means that ITS NEW MOTHERBOARD ??

NEW MOTHERBOARD= have to regsiter new IMEI ???

or he'll put my old IMEI from dead Motherboard to new one ??

as the older motherboard is already dead then how do old IMEI is transferred to new one ??

Well from this i think that ITS NEW MOTHERBOARD AS NEW MOTHERBOARD HAVE NO IMEI AT DEFAULT and YOU HAVE To MANUALLY PUT IT IN ??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jumaqidi:
Not necessarily as I think u can replace the imei.

Edit: No caps btw.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woowhee:
Last night I finally mustered the courage to unlock my bootloader, root and flash Franco (which sounds dirty...), mostly for the improved battery life. I installed Greenify and Titanium, and I'm intrigued by Xposed, so I'll probably give that a go...but now what? What are the essential things I should do with my rooted Nexus 5?

My only "parameters" are that I want to stick with stock ROM (unless someone can make a compelling argument otherwise) and that I want to optimize battery life without compromising performance.

Your insights are much appreciated!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Backup and read. We can't advise any more than that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Other than tibu, the only thing I use root for is an ad blocker, adaway is good.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RevelationOmega:
I started my Nexus 5 with Cataclysm ROM, very close to stock with added features. No updates nightly like others, stays pretty much with Google stock yet the customization is what I needed. I'd check it out to see if it fits your needs. I also flashed the bionic optimization mods since I run ART but dalvik/bionic mods exist since Xposed currently isn't supported on ART (testing to see if any benefits as of now). Franco is good choice for kernel, waiting to see once r33 is released since very good chance of code change and WAY better battery as stated by the beta testers (minus current beta tester reboots and the memory issue). Mostly, since sticking near stock, the combinations of all these are all I personally needed. Make sure of nandroid before flashing since something may happen but I have not run into any issues yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
+1 what he said ^^
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iburtondroid:
install some system applications - for battery stats, CPU app(if you didn't buy franco's app), wakelock detector. If you are searching to get best battery life without losing performance, you will need to try different kernels (no need to remove and re flash ROM, just flash kernel zip files throught recovery). Essentially, you can try multi ROM feature (there is a thread about it), and try different ROM/kernel combinations, without losing/restoring your data, to find what is best for you. hope this helps

So my phone is now rooted and I have CWM installed. I would like to give this rom a try, but I would like to know one thing. Im currenly on stock 4.3. Do I need to do anything before flashing Carbon in CWM? Since im not currently running kitkat with the new bootloader, will Carbon work fine if I flash it in CWM?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Ark1406:
Yes, it would. Just go ahead and flash
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jaythenut:
yes your be fine dont forget to flash gapps as well;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] AndehX:
I have the rom installed. Works great. My Note 3 feels alot like my Galaxy S2 now :P

Correct, AOSP ROMs use JB's Boot loader. - the 4.4.2 Boot loader has not been patched to work yet.

As far as functionality goes, Carbon feels very much like a lot of the roms you get for the galaxy s2 which was my previous phone. With it not having s-pen support and the LED not working, it feels like I have an oversized galaxy s2 in my hand :P

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mattmanwrx:
No, not yet... They unified tgeir d2 and jflte trees, not the hlte tree yet. They are still updating their "wip" tree, until they merge into cm11 tree, I will not try (maybe try personally, but not for release). I will keep you all updated...
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] radicalisto:
Officially it isn't updated and pushed yet, but ram9200 successfully got it to boot on the new BL, been running it since last night, only issue is cannot make calls due to it being a Sprint port. Check out the official nightlies thread for more info.

It's smooth as silk tho and runs well
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] BossNexusS:
Aaaahhhhh Im dying here haha ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mattmanwrx:
so..... Look what I just built... :D

made a build with the new trees, and it works for me (on a hltexx, gsm) - this is a unified build and should work on all note 3's including the ones with the newer bootloader... Please all test for me...

I had to cherry-pick a commit from the cm gerrit, and will start nightlies when CM do / merge that commit (to be fair)...

Enjoy this build, it is nice...

Download from here, our old mirror, while it isnt on our direct download site. http://carbon.mattman.org/index.php?dir=hlte

P.S. yes it says unofficial, I couldnt be bothered to change it. I still built it, it is still *kinda* official lol

Just a question, can we still install other kernels from before unified? Like temasek kernel?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] mattmanwrx:
hmmm, good question.. I don't see why not, but i would make sure that it is for your device, so if you have a hltexx then make sure the kernel is for hltexx and not hltetmo, as there were different def_configs... :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] gianton:
No they won't boot. We have to wait for new KK kernels.
