[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xamrin:
So of course despite having a warantee I can't bring my phone in for repair. The root I have makes it so that when I boot the phone on boot-up is says "Custom" and shows an unlocked padlock. Is there any way to root my phone that doesn't scream "This phone has been rooted!" on the boot-up?

Unroot the phone and restore the backup image you (hopefully) created when you rooted your phone.

Hello to all!

I have a problem with recompiling an apk. Given that the apk is a free program, in practice i decompile the apk (with apktool), I make the changes (in particular, a few tweaks to the Italian translation of the app that often is not complete), but when I go to recompile everything I have these errors:

I: Checking whether resources has changed...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwistedPoet:
Hello everyone. I'm beginning to have a few system problems, (their leader being an overheating system). I'm likely going to have to return the device to Verizon. If so, I'll need to return to stock ROM. I'm running 4.3 OTA and have already hardbricked the device once. I know that with the 4.3 OTA update, flashing options have been restricted. I currently can't put phone in recovery mode. I trip the flash counter and get a message about unauthorized firmware being detected.

That being said, given my situation, is there any tried and true method to return the phone to the original out of the box status?

Thank you in advance for your time and knowledge.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
That's because there's no way to go back, you are stuck on the 4.3 update.

All you can run is stock 4.3 firmware. It's literally posted everywhere in these forums, and if you searched first you would have found all the answers you needed before you started flashing things that will brick your phone.

This is what you have to do to get a functioning phone again:

Hi, due to the fact that I cannot post in the dev section (yet), as I have less than 10 posts, I'll have to do it here.

First of all I want to thank the current devs to pickup the ViperX development again, and also the previous devs for all the work they did so far! :good:

I really enjoy this rom :cool:

Now, OT:

First of all, when I select vibration mode, I see the silent icon in the status bar, this used to be the vibration icon in 4.06? Somebody else has the same, or am I the only one?

Second, which is a little more annoying to me: IIRC, I used to be able to move apps from the phone storage to the internal memory in 4.06, since I upgraded to 4.07 I don't see the option anymore (it's not even greyed out).

Im using ViperX 4.07 and XM kernel 17, if it has anything to do with it.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Install the full 407 with a cache wipe only, if that doesn't help do a full wipe, move apps with titanium backup or another external app from the playstore !
[HTC One X] HoneyB33:
I appreciate the quick answer Mr Hofs.

By doing this full install without wipe, I'll keep my current apps and settings?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AKShotgun:
So after purchasing the Nexus 7 (2013) 16gb WIFI edition I noticed a problem with the battery that is really bugging me. Im on stock non rooted 4.4.2 and the battery is HORRIBLE. Moderate use finds me having to charge the thing almost twice a day. Its especially bad when im watching a youtube video or streaming a movie on netflix (Non GPU intensive gaming also), it will go down about 1% every 3 minutes not exaggerating. I have heard stories on here of Nexus 7 owners getting like a day or two out of the battery. Is there some kind of ROM or kernel out there that is good battery life? Is my tablet just a defect?

p.s. I have my brightness medium, GPS off, and i keep my WIFI always on.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
Battery isn't intended to go a day or two and haven't heard of anyone's doing that. I use elementalx kernel, slightly over clocked, get about 10 hours with moderate use. Hard to tell now because I keep mine on a wireless charger when I set it down.

Netflix does drain the battery a lot. If you watch it all day you're gonna have to charge it. Can try out any of the Roms and kernels, see what works for you.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] davexd97:
My nexus battery isn't that different from yours so i'd say it's not a defect from your tablet but it's our battery that isn't that good. I use sinless rom with elementalx kernel with cpu at 1.8 ghz and if i play need for speed for a couple hours and watch 1 or 2 movies drains really fast. the battery is the only thing i hate on this tablet, that and the fact that there's no sd card slot..
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Mastertryce:
my nexus 7 also does not make much more, usually 7 hours screen time. it is often enough to look at a video on google play, and surf a little with wifi
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] AKShotgun:
Does the elementalx kernel work on stock? If so I might give it a try.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] datallboy:
Yep, works on stock and all aosp Roms.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] 95Z28:
Standby time is where the battery lasts for days, actual usage will dictate how often you need to charge. I usually only charge every 4-6 days with about 7 hours screen time. Naturally if you use the tablet several hours worth a day you will have to charge more frequently. The battery is perfectly acceptable, better than the 2012 N7 even though it's smaller.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] cbutters:
The 2013 nexus 7 has an incredibly bright screen.... when turned down, it uses very little power, but if you turn it up all the way, it will drain battery like mad. What are you keeping your screen level at? If you keep it in the middle like you say, maybe turn it down a bit. The middle is like max brightness on other devices.... so watch your brightness and you will net much better battery life... also disable any sync/ wifi/bluetooth if you arent currently using them. that will help.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dakunclear:
I flashed back to 4.3 to get good battery life again but I did that mainly cause 4.4 and up gave me touch screen issues I didn't have with 4.3
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] averagegeek:
Follow the steps below.

1. Apps like Facebook, Instagram, Mail apps drain more battery even though if you are not using it. So configure them to sync occasionally at 3 hours or more to save your battery. You can also manually turn off sync in the Quick settings & turn On only when you need it.

2. Use apps like Greenify to limit apps like Facebook, Netflix to running on the background.

3. Set your brightness to auto. If you wanna configure your brightness more, use Lux Auto brightness app.

4. Install the following apps to monitor your battery like Battery Stats Plus, Cpu spy, Battery widget & note the values.

5.Also give a few days to analyse battery behaviour & reply if you found changes in the battery.

Ive been looking at the possibility of different ways of utilising the push mail facility.

The main objective is to make it a s cheap as possible, with the stipulation that I need to be able to download my mail to my outlook desktop client. Webmail pop3 is fine for me and I don’t need the email left on the server although this woul be a nice to have.

I am currently using easily to host my email account and domain - I have 2 email accounts under the one domain - this would work only if easily did forarding of my email - but they don’t!

I have looket at using 4smartphone and there service to include the ability to download to my desktop outlook would cost $6.99 a month approx 4 pound a month 48 pound a year

They also provide outlook web access as well as calendar etc….

The next option is to use a sign up with another email hosting company xcalibre that do email hosting pop3 and email forwarding for 19.99 a year, this would allow me to have upto 10 email accounts. They have a 1000mb bandwith and 20mb storage per email account

It appears to me that using someone like xcalibre would be the cheapest option, if there forwarding facility is pretty much instantaneus

Has anyone got any ideas or considerations I should think of before I make my decisions.

Thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rxr:
Assuming you have a ROM that is AKU 2 and up and has push capabilities.

Most ppl are using live.web2mail.com

Do your current accounts have a forwarding option?

If so then the best option that I kno ppl are doing is, setting up a mail2web account and gettin their mail forwarded to there, and mail2web's exchange server just pushes it to your device for free.

Only cost will be the charges on the phone, so if you have an unlimited data plan, you're all set.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JPHCCFC:
thanks rxr my own domain name email does not have forwarding otherwise I would have used that as I'm currentl using mail2web and gmail forward and that works great!
