[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
Charging issues

OK, had a few instances of odd charging that may be what is happening.

One OEM cable got pinched at the head of the micro USB. Shorting and bad connection. Battery shows charging, but never increasing charge.

Ended up melting the head and heating up the tablet.

Long aftermarket charging cable or extension cord. Some do not have proper pin out... will not charge or show charge. End up having little charge after disconnecting from charger.

I watched, a tablet go from 100% to 90% within 2 minutes and slowly decrease the rate until it leveled at 60%. A false reading of charge state until battery data caught up with battery's true charge.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] redpoint73:
WiFi only, or connected to cell network? This is a very important detail, since if its on the cell network, the reception in your area can have a HUGE effect on battery drain. In fact, when talking about smartphones, I'd say cell reception is the

primary

factor behind battery life.

In any case, the battery drain you mention (30-40% drain with 1 hour screen on time) is not awful, although not great either. Especially depending on what you are doing during that screen on time (gaming can be a huge drain, streaming video too, but usually less so). I get maybe 5 hours screen on time if I'm watching Netflix. That with no battery saving, WiFi only Note 8.

Also, make sure Smart Stay is turned off, as it seemed to me to be a big battery drain (and never really worked all that well for me, anyway).

Agree with both these points. I've seen these "battery saver" types of apps (Juice Defender in particular) which have caused more issues than they solve. Some folks will swear by them. But don't take for granted they will increase your battery, and use them wisely. Don't "misuse" them as you say.

And charging while the phone is powered off is a myth that has been debunked long ago. Aside from the fact that the device will charge slightly faster (it won't be draining as its charging) this will have no effect on battery life.

how many hours did you charge your note 8?

When i use new cable (custom cable ) the charge became faster , i only charge 2 hours 30 minutes

Become 100% , is it problem for my battery?

I have noticed some cables are faster than others. My bedroom charger will charge from dead in under 3 hours, the downstairs one will take 4 hours.

leave it on power saving mode always. It's the only way I get the battery to last on idle. in comparison the ipad air can sit days / weeks almost on idle.

Does battery lfie improve with CM? Can we put CM on 4.4 kitkat note 8?

I have been looking for a Galaxy S4 bike mount for my motorbike for weeks, but most products on amazon have too small slots to fit in the motobicycle, I found this on internet and it seems to work,

Double-Lock Style Universal Bike Bicycle Mount for Smart Phones and GPS

Anyone has the same issue? It would be awesome if I can learn some advice before the purchase.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Well, I have a holder that looks just like that, but mine had a suction cup.

I tried to put the suction cup on my motorcycles windscreen but naturally the shape of the windscreen wouldn't hold the suction cup. So I rigged a permanent mount.

As for the holder itself, I'm really happy with it. It holds the phone in place really well.

I have to say though, there is nowhere on my clip-ons (handlebars) where that would clip into place at. So make sure yours have room for it. And it won't block any controls once you have it in place.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Andrew Redmond:
Yeah, I like the double-rock style, it should work better on the handlebars, that's why I choose it. Has anyone bought items from this site? It said " 1 year product warranty and 100% satisfaction" , I doubt about it but the reviews look good.

Hi guys,

this is a nexus 7 that i saw on sale online, owner says it can't boot and stuck here

http://center.jeddahbikers.com/uploads/images/jb13928760421.jpg

Is this something that can be saved or not, since all the resources i found are for a different error, it's the first time i saw this one.

Can anybody pitch in before i buy the device ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erovia:
It's impossible to tell. The device on the photo is stuck during booting into Android, so technically it can be booted into bootloader mode and flashed with a proper factory image, BUT the cause of the error can be hardware related (damaged emmc).

I just purchased a 1GB miniSD card, and I just want to make sure that i am using it the best I can. I have a CINGULA 8125.

What I am trying to get a goo understanding on is Memory/Storage on this device. As a result I have a few questions I am hoping someone can answer me:

1. What is the difference between Storage Memory and Application Memeory

2. Additional storage (like the 1GB miniSD card I just got) does it go towards the Storage or Application Memory.... or both?

3. As any device, I am assuming there is a limit on how many applications can be ran at the same time (is that what the Application Memory is?) - but I am wondering if adding additional miniSD storage will indeed allow me to install more and more applications, and not just use the space for document storage

4. Is there a way to select where to install an application, as in in the built in storage/memory vs the miniSD storage?

5. Is it true that adding miniSD storage improves the overall performance a tiny little bit?

6. Are there any other tips/trick I should know of regarding Memory/Storage Management in relation to miniSD storage or otherwise?

Thank you very very much..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Eugenia:
>1. What is the difference between Storage Memory and Application Memory

Application memory is the equivelant of "RAM" on a computer. Storage memory on WM5 is the equivelant of a hard drive on a computer.

> 2. Additional storage (like the 1GB miniSD card I just got) does it go towards the Storage or Application Memory.... or both?

This is equivelant to a floppy disk or a re-writable CD/DVD. It is more close technically to the Storage memory.

>3. As any device, I am assuming there is a limit on how many applications can be ran at the same time (is that what the Application Memory is?)

Yes, this is reffering to the RAM. On the PocketPCs you can run up to 32 applications at the same time. But you can have thousands installed, just not run at the same time.

>but I am wondering if adding additional miniSD storage will indeed allow me to install more and more applications, and not just use the space for document storage

Yes, that's what it's for. To install more apps and files. But this doesn't mean that you will be able to run more than 32 apps at the same time, because that falls under the RAM/Application memory thing, and not storage/SD.

>4. Is there a way to select where to install an application, as in in the built in storage/memory vs the miniSD storage?

Yes, the .CAB files ask you where to install them.

>5. Is it true that adding miniSD storage improves the overall performance a tiny little bit?

No. When you add a floppy disk or a CD burner on your PC it doesn't make your PC faster. In fact, running apps from the SD it will be equally fast to run them, but a bit slower to load them into RAM.

>6. Are there any other tips/trick I should know of regarding Memory/Storage Management in relation to miniSD storage or otherwise?

Make sure you always have at least 10 MBs of free Application memory and at least 2 MB free of Storage memory (Windows will need some free space to write temp files you see).

I would also recommend to install the freeware utility vBar which allows you to close applications instead of minimize them when you click the "ok" or the "x" button. This way, you can free up RAM each time you don't need an application to be open.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alabij:
Eugenia, awesome job clearing that up. You should be a teacher.

By the way

I recommend magic button to vbar.

I've tried many times to explain WM5 memory to people but this is the clearest ever.

[Moto X General] Cozume:
yes, just by retraining.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
Why, it is the same number of syllables? And Moto is somewhat an unusual word like Google.
[Moto X General] Wade-0:
This is actually a topic I was going to start on Reddit a few days ago. How "Ok Moto" is so much easier to say, and just makes more sense than the ridiculous phrase they came up with. It's also adding to their brand recognition every time someone sees/hears you use it.
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
I recall reading here that when someone looked into the code that handles decoding the phrase the original may have been "hello moto". The "OK google now" was clearly a google influence. I have tried various other word combos but none work as well as "ok google now", the code is clearly optimized for it.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
I have been testing it for hours now and the OK Moto Now works better for me. YMMV.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
ITA and it works better for me. Late at night when I am tired or if I have been drinking, I can't even pronounce Google properly, lol! Moto is so much easier to say and not as stupid sounding.
[Moto X General] rsage:
Been trying this with no success - it's as if it realizes I'm saying something other than "Ok Google Now", says "Sorry didn't catch that". Do I need to clear data?
[Moto X General] Wade-0:
I dropped the "Now" entirely and so far it seems to work just fine with "OK Moto!". Will run with it until I notice any problems. It complained a bit on the 3rd training attempt, but I finally got it to accept the new phrase.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
I did that, too and it is working fine for me. Much easier to say OK Moto. And no big deal to retrain if it gives me false positives.
[Moto X General] bigv5150:
I found just OK moto was activating it when just saying OK. By changing it to ok moto now it works just like saying OK Google now.
[Moto X General] cannondale0815:
Why not "Hellloooo Moto"? :)
[Moto X General] Cozume:
I tried Hello Moto and it wouldn't take it.
[Moto X General] UncleMike:
For the same number of syllables, I'm surprised nobody has suggested "OK Moto X" yet.
[Moto X General] Cozume:
That works, too; it is just that it responds before I even get to say "X". So it is really responding to "OK Moto".
[Moto X General] ForSquirel:
It should say/show that your phrase is incorrect. Given enough times it will set it to whatever you say. Mine would respond to "Ok Moo Cow" but the ambient noise issues and accidental dials when I was doing nothing made me change back.

I've had numerous false activations while driving, and once while it was in my pocket. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananaman182:
Hi all,

Is anyone else having trouble with gapless playback on the Walkman app? I did a search and it appears that there was an update in July that introduced gapless playback - so I would have assumed the Z1C would have the latest version... But every album I play there is a gap between each track when it should be seamless.

Playing the same album on Google Play I don't have an issue and it plays the album as it should with no gaps.

I've started using Google Play Music instead for this reason, however I'd prefer to use Walkman, but the lack of gapless playback is a deal breaker.

If anyone could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.
