Hi I have an s4 and when it starts up it shows a padlock and says Samsung custom. Is there a way to take this off? I am a newbie so I may need dummy instructions. And second when I try to update my phone to Kitkat it doesn't fond the update. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Tylorw1:
Are you happened to be rooted or have disabled any apps? At every single boot the system scans for these things, though I don't think it would prevent you from getting an update, just give it a Lil more time.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
Just a heads up for those running out of space on their Xperia Z Ultras, SanDisk has just launched a 128gb micro SD card. The launch price was set to be $200 but they're going for only $120 on Amazon which is an awesome price. I'm tempted to pull the trigger and get one as it would be good for loading up a few full HD videos to watch on my Z Ultra.

Anyone else going to get one?

Fyi link to the $120 card here. Note there's another one selling for $140 too.

Edit: Confirmed it will work with the Xperia Z Ultra as per the official SanDisk website here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 510jungleboy:
two to three weeks before getting delivered. I'll wait till it's released before i buy it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
yep true... I'm just afraid that they'll hike the price back up to close to $200 when stock is actually available and I'll miss out on the low price. If you think about it, $120 is not that much more than SSD hard drive pricing and this is tiny!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kable:
Waiting for confirmation that it works on our phones before pulling the trigger.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Yeah Z ultra might only support up to 64gb but who knows
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
I'm pretty sure it should support it given that the Xperia Z Ultra supports MicroSDXC cards. Plus I'm sure Sandisk wouldn't release a product that wasn't supported by relatively new devices. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough though!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
From Sony's Official site

Memory (*Actual free memory may vary due to phone pre-configuration)	Up to 16GB / micro SD card slot up to 64 GB

Right now i think only the Galaxy S5 supports 128gb

Also it's not up to Sandisk to allow compatibility, I'm pretty sure it's the phone manufacturers responsibility.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 510jungleboy:
I'm sure that majority of the android phones , can handle the 128gb card. before most of the phones says up to 32gb , but it handles 64gb card fine. thats from past experience.

We weill find out soon enough.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
SDXC is SDXC. Everything beyond 32GB(?) is SDXC, and the Ultra supports it. The only reason Sony has written 64GB is because that was the biggest we could get last year. They aren't going to add "supports up to 56 TB" when it's not even available. My old Note "supported 32GB" since that was the biggest on the market when it got released, but it worked fine with 64 :)

128GB will work just fine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] julz:
Just confirmed it'll work with our Xperia Z Ultra. See SanDisk's official site here
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Oh fair enough then :D I can't wait for the day we get 56TB microSD cards lol :P

Oh i never knew that existed! haha
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
And Samsung stated that the SGH-i717 (North American Galaxy Note 1) only supported 32GB Micro SD cards, yet the 64GB card that I now have in my Z Ultra worked fully in the Note.

"Supports" only means "Don't go crying to us if anything larger than xx doesn't work, as they weren't available for testing when we readied the device for mass production".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bryanky5:
Yes I realize now that someone already told me!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I am getting one! BTW a reviewer at Amazon tested it with the Ultra just in case.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] JonJace24:
Definitely Going to Get One

Just picked up my Sony 64gb SDXC card a couple of weeks ago and loving it. Amazon had it for $30 if the 128gb gets to about $80 I'll pull the trigger and buy it
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mknewman:
I bought 2 128gb for my Tablet Z and Ultra. Both work fine but not in my Win7 PC. I had to use USB to transfer my data.

I have 2 nearly new 64gb Sandisk for sale if anyone needs them.
[Windows RT General] mgksrb:
Hey guys.

Ive been in the forum for a while but finally registered to ask a quick question.

Ive been searching for a while and haven't found anything regarding a Windows RT UX theme patcher. Yes I have searched everywhere but still can't find it.

My question is, does it exist? If not would it be difficult to patch them manually?

I love my Surface RT, but the non-customization of the thing is killing me. Is it also possible to change the icons on Windows in RT? Sort of like a skin-pack thing.

Anyones help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! :laugh:
[Windows RT General] kitor:
You can always replace icons in registry. HKCR is here from Win95 if not longer. They may exists .net 4.x based app to do that - this should run on jailbroken RT.

Uxtheme? I don't think so it exists. Even if it's possible, then only on jailbroken device.
[Windows RT General] mgksrb:
Yeah my Surface is already jailbroken. Do you know if it's a easy job to do it manually? (Patch UX)

The stock Windows themes are literally death for me.

How do you usually find out if an app is .net 4.X based? I know theres a list here on the forums, but do you have to download and try every app you want?
[Windows RT General] GoodDayToDie:
Off-topic, but how are you typing then? Shouldn't you be cremated or something by now?

Hyperbole weakens your argument, and misuse of the language will just annoy people.
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
So I am only averaging around 3 hrs of screen on time. I have lux and greenify always active. 4G and wifi on every 15 minutes and have Knock-on turned to off and I still see people getting 5hrs and even some more. What kind of tips do you have?
[G2 General] accordex:
Faulty phone, or some weird app issue, i would factory reset and play around without installing anything. If you still get those numbers, get a new one.

This is the only phone I've ever owned that easily lasts all weekend.

Im at 15 hrs with 2hrs screen and 46 percent left. I drive all day and play music via Bluetooth and it was sunny today so screen was at 80 brighteness.

Get a wakelock app and see if something is draining your battery
[G2 General] ArcaneDroid:
For some really really weird reason, I get better battery life when everything is enabled. I'm stock not rooted with EVERYTHING enabled, and I mean all the at&t bloat + LG bloat. I even have knock on enabled lol

Right now I have 14h30m of usage and 4h of screen on time, and I still have 40% left. Also I've only been on WiFi for about 2 hours today, the rest is all 4G
[G2 General] :
I would recommend leaving data off cause i had mine on all day and at 38% with 9hours on batteryv3 hours screen on time. Data seems to be sucking the life outta my phone. Oh well.
[G2 General] revan17:
Screen time is not absolute. Playing games for 3h or watching movies for 3h is comparable to reading a book for 10h, because of a thing called GRAM. Don't let those stats fool you.
[G2 General] ArcaneDroid:
Dang maybe you should try enabling everything just for the fun of it lol and I mean absolutely nothing disabled!
[G2 General] :
i will try tomorrow after a full charge
[G2 General] ArcaneDroid:
Yea for some reason I get a ton of wakelocks if I try to optimize or disable anything
[G2 General] chaki-:
Exactly! With RR3 i get 3hrs and a little more. Browsing 7hrs. It depends what are you doing.
[G2 General] damtuan91091:
My Experience:

1. Greenify

2. Clear RAM (Widget LG)

3. Use Wifi, limiting open 4G data

4. Screen Brightness 50%

But these things only improve a small part. Encourage use a ROM MOD :good:
[G2 General] phaze one:
I'm running cm 10.2 and got 4 hours screen on, 9 1/2 hours up with wifi on all day, got home with 49% battery left. I use greenify and wakelock detector. Maybe run a custom ROM. I prob couldve got 5 maybe 6 hours screen on.
[G2 General] fisher421:
you should be using Greenify...
[G2 General] Snazarian:
There are alot of apps that are constantly pinging the network that could be causing the extra battery draw

I.E Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, dating apps, Hangouts, Skype, Drive, Box, Dropbox and any other messaging apps that go outside of basic text messaging through the carrier

Edit: Or Tapatalk...i just noticed your using that. Gonna check in every so often for new messages.......I bet you just have a TON of apps running in the background....
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I just don't understand. I'll do a factory reset once kit kat comes to Verizon. If it ever does! :)
[G2 General] Snazarian:
Oh, and for the Sprint variant, i disabled/froze some LG apps, Sprint apps, and 'VuTalk". Boosted my battery life like crazy....
[G2 General] OhioDroid80:
As long as you have a constant cell signal I think the battery life is great. With my T-Mobile version I don't get nearly as good signal on the days that I work because the phone is using Wifi Calling for the cellular signal. On weekends when I have full strength signal I easily get the high screen on times.
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Did a factory reset now actually. Lets see if this fixes anything
[G2 General] Snazarian:
Carefull with what apps you put back on......
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Few games. I have Greenify, xposed, 2x battery, lux and a few other minor apps but none of the rest run in the background.
[G2 General] alone-together:
Auto brightness, change your mobile network to 2G when you're not using data, go to settings > WiFi > advanced and make the WiFi always on *only when it's plugged in* and turn the always scanning option off, go to your Google account in the settings and turn off sync for anything that doesn't need to sync, make sure NFC is disabled, increase the refresh time on any of your social apps, and enjoy your battery.
[G2 General] beezar:
Turn off location services. But if you really need it, at least turn off Location Reporting / History in Google Settings, that greatly reduced my NLPWakelock which increased my battery life a lot. Of course you won't really be able to use Google Now, but no big loss IMHO
[G2 General] greyhd:
Get rid of 2x battery that does more harm than good. Also install wakelock detector and better battery stats, that will help narrow down what apps are misbehaving.
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Is having wifi on at all times better than having 2x battery?
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Is it possible to change 4G to 2G on Verizon?
[G2 General] Sfkn2:
I can't for the life of me figure out how to use greenify..
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I know how to somewhat. I bought the paid version to stop system apps. I was going to make a post on what people greenify for their G2.
[G2 General] Sfkn2:
But this doesn't freeze system apps unless I am rooted?
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I believe so, yes. Being rooted is super simple and doesn't ruin anything in your phone.
[G2 General] PrivacyPolicy819:
If you're phone is 4g enabled, automatically, if 4g is available in the area you are in, it'll be 4G. But if the 4G network is not available in your area, whatever network available is, that is what you will have in your phone.
[G2 General] letters_to_cleo:
1.) Root your phone

2.) If rooted, remove unecessary bloatwares

3.) Install Greenify and hibernate system apps

that wakes your phone always.

4.) Install Bateria Pro. Your phone's battery

life would extend up even more. Tested and

proven already.
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
Hmm. I know there must be more tips than this. I've seen people with large screen on times. I'm still consistently getting 3 hours or so.
[G2 General] fire3d:
I prefer Secure Settings, Tasker together with Wi-Fi Matic, i have location, wifi, Data always on, managed by this tools,

also Lux for Screen (Brightness) adjustment (even when the KK adjustment is better than JB, LUX is way better).

Location Modus is set to Battery Saving (don't know the correct Englisch Description) - German is: Akkusparfunktion

I set up Wi-Fi Matic to get all of my used Wifi Networks

Tasker switches Data OFF when connected to Wifi and vice versa

Secure Settings allows me to set up GPS automatically when an app like maps is started

I'am on 9 Hours 45 minutes usage now

-Screen On time is 2H 57min

-recorded a video @ 1920x1080P with 30FPS for 28Minutes in the night with the Camera Light on (nightly)

-taken 28 Pictures with Cam

-22minutes Voice Calls

-Wifi aktiv 8 H 46min

used a lot of G+, Facebook, WhatsApp, QuizDuell ....

now i have 57% left, i still love this Phone .....

i need to sleep, Good Night :)
[G2 General] samuel05150:
Thanks
[G2 General] jrgilbert79:
It's cheesy but Snapdragon battery guru help consolidate updates for some apps which assists with leaving data on but also keeping applications from using it at random intervals. It takes 7 days of usage to learn your habits and provide any battery saving ability. Also I run boot manager in xposed which doesn't boot crap into memory if I restart. Lux is great but the best way to improve screen time it's simply run your brightness low as you can possibly stand it. Also some people have reported that uninstalling Google play services and using hangouts to reinstall it helps. Also I don't use google+, Google now, and keep facebook Greenified which is the worst wakelock offender imho

The only tip i can give is to go into airplane mode during the night...almost no battery drain
[G2 General] foxracer89:
I also get poor battery life... That is why I would like you to see what Drain do you have while watching youtube video or browsing. Maybe we would agree to set brightness on 50%, wifi on, sync on, muted and movie picked exactly the same for everyone. We could check from for example 70% battery how many percent would each phone drain and min/1% ratio. This way we could at least determine whether our phones are not faulty...

gravitybox

Go check out gravitybox under phone there is a battery saving mode where when the screen is off it goes to 2g but when you turn screen on it goes back to 4g. I am getting 16h 38min and still have 66% left. It says it can last 2 days I didn't even charge it last night it just last the whole day easily.
[G2 General] Mattecko99:
I dont even think the Verizon version is 2G capable. I also feel like the battery would be drained more due to the constant switching of 2/4G
[G2 General] faithraze:
This is true. Just use the phone. Its a smartphone, for LG's sake. I am on stock kitkat, updated OTA. Getting 6h SOT for 25 hours, mostly social media use. No ROOT. Plain stock 4.2.2
[G2 General] somnambulator:
I tried snapdragon battery guru. it DESTROYED my battery life. uninstalled and it was back to normal.

also, hangouts absolutely destroyed my battery as well. halved it. constant drains when screen off and phone should be asleep. uninstalling hangouts immediately returned battery to normal 30+ hours. I use xposed with many mods and also greenify, tho I don't have many apps configured in it.

Sent from my xposed VZW G2, using unlimited data :)
[G2 General] :
Charge half an hour past 100% does miracles.

Dont charge via different charger then stock, no usb charging, it destroys battery life for couple of cycles
[G2 General] jeyd02:
1+.

Always charge with the stock voltage that LG recommends. When you charge make sure you battery is at least less than 40% discharging to increase battery span. Charge where the temperature are not too hot. Better to leave the phone charging while being sleep for it to gain all its juice :). Keep doing this for days and tend to do less hard reboots if not necessary. Your. Battery experience will greatly get better and this is just the physical aspect of making the battery better. The rest have to do with kernels (compatible Kernel that goes with your rom) ; proper cpu throttling, knowing what's unnecessarily waking your phone and watch out for cpu voltages. Also make sure your governor is working correctly and not sticking cpu state to the max. And minor things here and there like Google location, auto sync, brightness, touch feedback etcccccccccc.

[G2 General] tacosrdelicioso:
Well, he's partially right in his bolded statement. There is kind of a law of twenties with the lithium batteries. Where at each side the battery will deteriorate at a slightly faster right if held there for an amount of time. Really though, it doesn't make much of a difference in the long run

[G2 General] jeyd02:
Well that statement comes none other than researchs from battery University.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/is_lithium_ion_the_ideal_battery

The idea is to let the charges or ion particle (if I'm not mistaken) decompose and regenerated from an adequate starting point. The battery feels more comfortable discharging under rest then fully be charged than charge in a still well state. This might be minimal but it kinda makes a quite little different in the future .
[G2 General] ghettobuck10:
I will give some of these a try....especially greenify. Thanks
[G2 General] OldOldDev:
I'm getting my info from the same place:

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

Dischanging to below 40% respresents a full discharge which shortens battery life. Frequent partial charges(ie charging from between about 40%-50% and then unplugging around 80%-90%) are best for lithiums.
[G2 General] jeyd02:
Sorry. You might be right that is no there, and that it suggest such actions. But apart from that article I had indeed researched the mechanism of poly li battery. I'm sorry that I can't provide you to the exact source. But my basic point is preferably wait until your battery gets to 25%-40% then proceed with charging fully for a longer minimal span, this doesn't mean that you can't charge it when it's 50% or etc. You may if you have to, but I would personally rather wait until the phone gets low enough if necessary to maximize the prolonged charging phase while reducing multiple charging voltages intakes.
