[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Do not use the folowing:

Battery savers

Ram Cleaners

avoid the folowing:

apps that prevents sleep (find this in the battery info in your settings)

to extend battery life and avoid wear:

do not use when batter is 60 or above

try not to disturb charging (unplugging before it hits 90)

avoid heat, can cause battery to die quicker

some other things:

greenify is an app known to actualy work

try crystalizing apps, (from android tuner)

debloat your system (not recomended unless you know what your doing)

install a custom kernel (not recomended either)

hmm there is some ive missed but most of this i do , get 3/4 days with my xperia s and 6/7 with my Z1

if i remember anything ill add to this
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Thanks I'm not rooted but I am rather proficient with advanced android operation. So your recommendation is to not use battery guru from qualcom? And I'm in the process of removing bloatware
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
im not too sure about battery guru

if it keeps your Z1 from sleeping dont use it

the majourity of ram cleaners and battery savers usualy dont work.

Ram Cleaners for some reason just make your device feel boggy and generaly ugh

battery savers usualy keep your device from sleeping or make your android feel sluggish
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
I don't believe battery guru keeps the phone from sleeping since its an app directly from Qualcomm designed for devices specifically with snapdragon processors due to the strong processor battery correlation. But as far as today goes this is where I'm at for bed time.

I had moderate use today considering I was in class from 830-430. I'm in the field tomorrow so I will post after my shift tomorrow. Here is today.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nichiyoubi:
I'm using a mix of BatteryGuru, Lux Lite(for adaptive brightness), and Greenify.

IMO Greenify actually works by not exactly 'freezing' the app but letting it not run in the background.

As for Lux, it's handy mostly because it can adjust accordingly to where you are as the default adaptive brightness is clunky
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXFlippyXx:
just because its proprietary doesn't mean it has to work ;)

without any battery saving techniques i come over 2days with: wifi always on, gps always on (for myxperia), mid screen brightness, auto sync, push mail from sony stock email on average usage.

with those energy saving techniques sony put in our device, i'll be far better. sending data in interval comes in really handy. personally i really don't like stamina mode (whatsapp + pushmail and gmail won't notify me as long as the screen is turned off) but will safe a huge amount of battery.

location based wifi annoys me too much.

ive bought this device just because of the large battery and wasn't disappointed. even heavy users should easily come over one day without charging

what's your biggest energy drain? 1% in 5 minutes is way to much. something seems to be fishy
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vlcano57:
Haha that's true. Wouldn't be the first time proprietary apps have steered me wrong. It says screen is my big energy eater which I'm perplexed by since I have brightness as low as possible. Do you have LTE in your area? Those are amazing numbers for not using stamina. Maybe I should start messing around with turning stamina off and switching things up.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
nah i dont have lte in my area

Ive left stamina mode on, helps quite alot, i dont realy mess with the settings, no need to realy

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjriddle22:
I have been a lurker on this site for many years and am active on other sites. For some reason I just never posted on xda.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Developer Edition (Verizon), running the latest CM 11 (4.4.2) from the Original Android Development section.

For some reason the Xfinity TV Go app doesn't recognize that I am on Verizon. It will not let me stream media unless I am on WiFi. It says something is wrong with the playlist and it times out. On WiFi it works as it is supposed to.

Is there any way to trick the app so that it knows I am on Verizon so I can stream media over their network? I don't really know how long this issue has been present, I just noticed this weekend on a semi road trip. I usually just hot spot my phone and watch the app on my N7, but I made the major mistake of forgetting my N7 this weekend.

Anyone ever see this issue? Know of a fix? Link? I did some googling, but nothing really came up. It was mainly people trying stream media over another network (TMO, AT&T, etc.) which doesn't allow this.

I was going to post this in the thread for CM 11, but my post count is so low I am only allow to post in Q&A for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
you have to enable it to stream over the network within the app's settings menu.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjriddle22:
Thanks for the reply, but I had the 'Use Cellular Data" already checked within the app.

I thought it might be specific to CM11 or ASOP in general, because there is no real AOSP phone on Verizon anymore. Anyone with a Gnex able to use this app?

Attached is the error it gives me. Google didn't help too much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
I gave my gnex to my friend i can see if she can get it to work

oh and all the motorola phones are 99% aosp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjriddle22:
True. I wonder if it works with the Moto X then. I can check on that. My wife has the S4 on Verizon (stock rom) and it works perfectly for her. It definitely happened when I flashed CM11.
[LG G Flex] mattwheat:
Not a major issue but just curious as to why the stock screen shot does not work in a lot of apps but does in some? I've already fixed by using a mod in xposed but would really like to know for my own curiosity. Or maybe I'm just missing something or doing it wrong but it's vol ⬇ and power at same time correct?

Yea hold down the power button and volume down at the same time for a second or two. Also you can use the quick memo option.
[LG G Flex] will0899:
Working on d959 you have to "one finger it" making sure your finger is spread evenly between the two buttons. If all fails use xposed framework to put it on your power menu.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mellowmarrow:
I have a Note 3, pretty much all stock. I have the following option checked:

Messages -> Settings -> More -> Preview message

"Show a preview of received messages on the status bar and lock screen"

If I'm in an application, I'd like it to show me the text message on the status bar at the top. It does this.

However, I'm not comfortable with it showing on the lock screen.

How can I remove this from my lock screen, while still preserving the status bar functionality?

Ideally I'd like DashClock to be my lock screen. (I had it this way on my Nexus 4)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issa Eid:
Hi guys, i want a firmware or custom rom for galaxy gt-i9100t, if there is any rom after 4.1.2 ! , also i have a question: the normal rom for g-ti9100 could be installed on gt-i9100t !!? :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There isn't any stock firmware >4.1.2. Yes, you can flash I9100 stock roms on the I9100T, but you may have to use a modem from an I9100T rom if you're using the phone on a network belonging to a carrier who sold the I9100T.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issa Eid:
okay 10x for help, i'm so greatfull :)

What about a i9100 custom rom?! Can i use it to i9100t !?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yes, of course. the I9100 & I9100T (I also have an I9100T) are exactly the same except for a very slight difference in radio output, achieved by firmware - the modem.

If you flash an I9100 stock rom, it will include an I9100 modem which might (not always though) mess with your connectivity, and as I hinted at in my PP, in my experience, using modems which have been bundled with stock roms released by carriers which sold the I9100T tends to result in the best connectivity. You can check these by searching the I9100T firmwares on Samfirmware, which lists the baseband (modem), and you can then find/download whatever modem in question here.

However, if after flashing an I9100 stock rom your connectivity is OK, no need to change the modem. Only change the modem if your connectivity isn't great. Custom roms don't include modems, so flashing a custom rom won't change your current modem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Issa Eid:
i got it, thank you very much for your help and your notes about the modem thing :good: .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] metalmike6:
So I'm new to the GS3, And I'm trying to read up on how to return my newly aquired device to the Stock 4.1.1 ROM. So that being said it's currently running 4.4.1 CM.

From What I'm reading here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2070955 it should be as simple as downloading the ROM and the modem and flashing them both using TWRP. Is that correct? I just want to make sure I have this right and nothing needs to be flashed via ODIN due to the firmware I'm running being so many versions ahead of 4.1.1. I'd hate to brick the device and come back here with more pressing issues...

Any direction anyone could give would be fantastic. Thank you! :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Yes, and the modem should be fine.. but why 4.1.1? We have official 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] metalmike6:
I needed to unlock, and you're right I didn't have to touch the modem. Is 4.3 beter with battery life? This phone is going to my father and really the only thing he's gonna end up caring about is basic functionality and battery life. That said, I may get one of these for myself, it's a great device

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Hi, I have a question. Nexus 4 Stock Android 4.4.2 rooted with Nexus Root Toolkit. When i will update to android 4.5 (?) or any future android version, can i do it via OTA without lost anything? I have to unroot the device?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrFredPhD:
You won't be able to use any future OTA updates without flashing stock recovery again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
When i flash it i lost ant files or root access? How i can flash it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meZQureshi:
You won't lose your data or root access by Flashing Stock recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myepicyear:
You do not have to unroot the device - however, if you can do it easily, it's never a bad idea, really. If you have SuperSU, just go the settings menu and select "Full Unroot".

Just having root access is not where the overall conflict arises in OTA updates though..

If you have removed -- not disabled, which is fine -- any system application at all, (using a file-explorer or Titanium Backup-like utility, etc..) it basically always fails... without fail, lol. If you have installed any ROMs/kernels/mods which replace or alter system binaries, you are almost certain to run into issues as well.

The stock recovery thing is debatable. I can't confirm nor deny that it's a problem. I do know that recent versions of TWRP have fixed their OTA updater script to be nearly (or even completely) compatible with Google's OTA zip packages. It appears to go through the update process exactly as Google's stock recovery image would. Just have the latest TWRP version available for your device if you're going to do it

I can tell you that personally, I have no problems updating as a root user -- because I do not modify the system partition, it's apps, or it's files - with the exception of installing SU binaries, or other small things

If you use root for simple things, you'll be fine. However, if you tinker with kernels/basebands/binaries/utilities that are beyond your level of experience, you're bound to have issues. If you must modify your device, try to learn adb/fastboot. Toolkits have their place somewhere in the community, but, procedurally, problems are not as easy to anticipate when compared to the process of manually typing commands.

Since Jellybean, vanilla Android is really solid, and I've almost consistently used stock Android since that time. I use root permission for basic apps like Terminal Emulator, ES File-Explorer, and Titanium Backup (I don't uninstall system apps with it though!). Ever since I stopped hacking my devices so deeply, the update process (not to mention the overall OS experience) is stable for me. It's definitely never a disaster anymore.

Hope some of that helps. I rambled... just a bit. :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Ok, i changed the kernel, so before an update i have to reflash stock kernel and stock recovery, do the update, and after reflash CWM recovery and the kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myepicyear:
Since you flashed over the stock kernel - which has likely altered the original vendor binary files by replacing or removing some of them - I would add the step of fastboot formatting (don't just wipe it) the /system partition and fastboot (re)flashing the system.img for your current android version -- it's important not to flash the newer/newest image. All important settings and user data are unaffected by rewriting the system.img, so reformatting and reflashing should return all system binaries (and any other modified files) to normal. It should correct any potential update problems that could be caused by a custom kernel.

So with that extra step in mind, here's a vague template for how I'd go about this whole procedure.

1) Do a full unroot if you can. Sometimes problems can arise, and it's easy enough to reflash a root zip right after updating anyway. If this step creates too much work for you, remember--it's not required, I'm only encouraging it for the sake of a clean and consistent system.

2) Download the factory image of your current Android version.

Again, make sure you don't download the latest version - the one you want to receive an OTA update for

.

3) Extract the factory image tar into a folder. Once extracted, go in that folder, and extract the zip inside ("image-occam-xxxxxx.zip") to wherever you choose. This zip contains the boot, recovery, userdata, and system images. You want boot, recovery, and system.

4a)Format/erase those partitions with:

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot format system

4b)Flash the images from the zip you extracted in the factory image:

fastboot flash boot "boot.img"

fastboot flash recovery "recovery.img"

fastboot flash system "system.img"

5) Reboot into OS, and see if anything is broken/force closing. If not, you should be ready to accept the OTA update being offered.

6) After you successfully update, you can reflash custom kernel and recovery at your own discretion. Custom kernels will always put OTAs at risk for failure.

I can explain this stuff better later, if you still have issues. Just doing a bunch of things at once right now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Ok, thanks =) I'll remembeber this guide for future updates :3 But, when i erase boot, recovery and format system i lost all my file, like a wipe data/ factory reset by the CWM?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myepicyear:
Are you asking if you will lose all your files, or are you saying you that you already tried it and lost them? Userdata is where all your personal stuff resides.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
I already have the last version of android, i'm asking for future updates (Android 4.5 (?)).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myepicyear:
Okay, then yes - recovery, boot and system can all be safely fastboot erased. A custom recovery might do these things differently, so always verify what it will be wiping/formatting.

If you're in fastboot, the thing you never want to do is wipe/format the userdata partition. That's where everything important is. Everything else is basically replaceable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Tell me if this steps are correct. I think that in a few days google will release android 4.4.3

1. Back to stock kernel (I can do this with Nexus Root Toolkit)

2. UnRoot the device (Always with NRT or via SuperSU)

3. Via Fastboot: Erase boot, Flash bot, Erase system, Flash system, Erase recovery, Flash recovery

4. Reboot

5. Root again

Doing this steps i shouldn't lose anything, sure?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
up
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
No reason to erase boot, system and recovery.

You can keep even custom recovery and just flash manually boot, system and radio.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arktay:
Only flash boot, system and radio? Nothing else?

Hi

I have just bought a san disk 2gb mini sd card for my mini s and after a few teething problems I can put items onto it.

I thought brilliant so i loaded on 300 of my fav songs. For some reason windows media player when updating the library notices the files although it doesn't add them to the library so I can't play a list of songs I can play one and then what ever is in the library.

The library only adds from "my deivce" and not from the storage card.

Can someone help me as I really like my music and can't listen to it properly because of a fault.

If not can anyone suggest a music player that works on the mini s/wizard.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meschle:
Yes people are having a problem with 2gb cards on the wizard - there seems to be a bug.

Some people find it works ok if over half full - is yours?

Second people reporting success after reformatting the card on the device (backup everything on the card before you do this) use storage tools or my fav sktools

Hope it works - i love my music too!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] alabij:
Microsft needs to pay for all the high blood pressure that Windows Mobile devices cause.

1)Don't format your 2GB card to FAT32. Use FAT. It appears the PPC is still living in the 80's. If you use FAT32 it might appear to work fine but everynow and then you'll get currupted files.

2) Get Windows Media Player 11. You can then happily disable the aweful media sync feature in activestink 4.x. WMP11 will recognize your card as long as your PPC is synced.

3) I don't have this problem in WMP11 but in WMP10 if your WMP in your PPC is open, it might not sync your new playlist even though it appears to be doing so.

It appears Bill and the boys at MS are taking mobile media seriously even though they are a decade late. But I'm optimistic :wink:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dangerous_dom:
Does not really solve your problem as such, but Media Player is a real dog and a waste of time IMO. Get TCPMP for video (the best and free) and a good music player like Mort, GSplayer or Pocket Player.

Same Problem

I have a 1GB miniSD card in my Cingular 8525, and windows mobile Media player fails to load any of the songs that are on the storage card into the media library. I CAN play any of the songs one at a time. It's just that the library won't load or recognize the files.

I've tried everything. I've selected "update libary" , I've sync with activesynk...

I don't think this is a size issue. I've tried a few files, I've tried many files.

I don't think this is a storage size issue, as you guys are having the problem with 2GB SD cards, and I'm having the problem with 1GB miniSD cards.

I think this is probably a Media player bug. Do any of the other media players support a library like function?

I have the same problem. I'm using a Cingular 8525 with a 2GB micro sd card, WMM, and WM11. This worked for me: create a playlist in WM11 and sync to 8525. Then, using WMM, use the open file command under menu to find the file you created (mine is located in: file system/storage card/playlist) and open it as a playlist.

It didn't solve the real problem, but at least you can play more than one song at a time.

I hope this helps :).
