[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Sorry if I've missed something here guys but I noticed mention of the Bluetooth wakelock bug on KitKat builds. I had it too within hours of flashing it I had over 1 hour odd of keep awake in battery stats.

After going into Bluetooth and enabling it then disabling it, it still hasn't increased it seems to have stopped for now. Can anyone replicate this or explain this? I haven't had time to grab a logcat and look at it yet I'm at work currently.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markyzz:
Just reboot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
Read something about this, somewhere.. if only I could remember now. In KitKat, Bluetooth isn't actually eating up the battery when it's not being used.

Sent from my LG-D800
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
But its visibly keeping the phone awake. So it must be using it I never had it enabled before it appeared in battery stats.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxZombiePikachu:
I posted data thought about this at another thread where what I think is that just WiFi in 4.4.2 Bluetooth is always on although disabled but it should not be consuming battery(thanks to the low energy) unless it's connecting to other devices in fact I actually tend to use Bluetooth 50% of the time to play games with my moga and music in the car or with my deck at home and still get 15 hours easy
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephumuris:
Yeah I spoke too soon its updated to 9 hours keep awake now but I have 3 hours screen on time and still at 50 percent battery so I don't think its actually using much if anything
[HTC One X] Guids:
I am using a Klipsch image S4a. The mic does not work with google now (and recently i discoverd also not with voice recorder), however when I make a phone call or use google hangouts video/voice chat, the mic does work. Therefor the mic seems not to be broken, also another headset with mic gives the same result. Any pointers of what could be the problem?

Rom: nightly CM 11

pm: if it works with yours, please tell me.
[HTC One X] big noob:
Maybe headset mic simply doesn't work in that functions..
[HTC One X] Guids:
So I searched the cm11 nightly thread, and it seems to be rom related.

Hi all,

I have an issue with my D802 int LG G2.

I attempted to flash the 4.4 update from this thread via CMW recovery however part way through the install, the phone turned off and tried to restart.

As a result, the phone now only shows the LG logo and the LED changes colour constantly.

I cannot seem to get it to boot into a recovery mode, nor download mode..

Any ideas? I've had a search around but there doesn't seem to be too much help..

FYI, I can access the 'hard reset' menu by holding Vol - and power twice on boot, but that seems about it.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adaimespechip:
Looks like i've managed to resolve the problem - Get to the hard reset screen and opt to reset it to then go back to the custom recovery. Simply restoring my old backup worked.

[Galaxy Note 3 Themes and Apps] civato:
set API level to 16 for deodexing , just for that apk.

You will also need some lib files and chn_spidb files to make it work

See attachment for deodexed NB5 chinese keyboard for 4.4.2, I did it for you.

[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Could an experienced developer please port a system UI to our devices please? I'd like to do it myself, however I have no idea where to start. If somebody could port it for me and then upload it again I would be very grateful. I will upload the two files at the end of the post.

A little bit of information on the system UI files, they work on android 4.0.4 but they are for a smaller screen and lower pixel density, plus when I decompiled the system UI the file structure is different from the stock XM 4.1.2 system UI so I didn't know where to go from there.

Also would somebody be willing to teach me how to port apps in a few months? I would have liked to do this myself but I have no knowledge on doing so unfortunately.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requa3r0:
Hi all.

On my HTC one hboot 1.44.000, I can run i ADB

fastboot boot boot boot.img

To boot on a custom recovery image without actually flashing the image.

On newer HTC one hboot 1.55.000 this has been disabled.

Does anyone know of any workaround to this problem?

Its a bit of a pain to do the initial backup of the stock recovery, rom and boot when you have to overwrite the stock recovery to do so.

Can the stock recovery be backed up to an img file from the ADB prompt, with stock recovery still loaded somehow?

In fact its a classic CATCH 22

I know you can extract the stock recovery later on from a the latest OAT update, but it would just be a lot more simple, if all you what is root, to boot on the image without flashing, install the super user app, then restore all the needed HTC specific apps you lose when unlocking and then you are back to stock with root.

Does anyone know the exact location of the OAT from where you can extract the stock boot and recovery from firmware.zip, and is this OAT deleted after it has been run, or if its still available to grab later one?

Since the device is not rooted yet, its not possible to check the \cashe folder for the OAT file before you rooted it.

What if its not there? How will you find the original stock recovery that fits your current system, any new OAT may have a different one, that mayl not work.

Again a CATCH 22

Why does HTC support unlocking the bootloader, and then limits it use, not allowing to boot on a recovery without flashing it ? :eek:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Afaik this is no longer possible to use remote recovery booting, htc disabled it.

There is many stock recoveries uploaded here if you can't find yours, then just request it and someone will probably upload it.

I am getting this error since yesterday

whenever I open messaging app on phone and select any text message, the app force closes. I cant delete any message also.

I cant send text message. I tried flashing different apks.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
You use App2SD.. did you put the messaging app's data to your sdcard? Maybe there are some problems with the sdcard. Try another messaging app. If this one works, then there is a Problem with messaging app itself or the fact that something is wrong. If you also can't use the dialer or you can't call people it is maybe also related to the SIM card. Just check these things :)

Also, I can use dialer and all other apps. Only problem is with Messaging app. AppMgr pro app is just to clear cache
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjraider:
I know that application and with that one it is not possible to move data or system apps itself to the External SD

Try to clear data from the messaging application. Sometimes it works to also clear the phone apk itself.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schokonuss:
Oh okay. Can you remember what you did before you saw it force closing the first time, what could have to do with it? Otherwise restore the system part of a nandroid backup (advanced restore and then system) if you have one.

AppMgr Pro III is App2SD ;)

Hey,

When I turned on my phone the RAM it was taking was 300 MB, after a days use it is now 500MB (even after pressing 'clear RAM' button).

I've entered Settings->apps->running and it shows only two small things (the keyboard and some weather widget) which combined take only 20 MB.

So what is the rest of the memory is beign allocated for?

Thank you.

Does your rom have Usage Manager in the app drawer?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lenovoOwner:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
No, the closest I have is "Task Manager".

Thank you, indeed I see some more RAM guzzlers, but It seems like they make up most of the addition but not all of it ... plus funny thing, when I try to close everything (in 'running' and 'cache) and I reenter- here it is there again...

1) Can I see all of the elements that take up my ram (the system as well)?

2) Can I close them properly?

Thank you very much.

PS. Is there some comfortable way to jump between apps? Like in the Iphone where by pressing the 'Home' button will show you a bar with a row of icons of the currently active processes....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
For your PS question, it's a long press on the Home button (below the GS3 screen).

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

The closest app I'm running to that option is Android Tuner Free. I got it for its storage optimization functions.

The busy interface has a learning curve, but it is a comprehensive & poweful app. I recommend Advanced mode & the One Click home screen.

For what you want, see both the Tasks & Kill All tiles. The first is a Task Mgr., the second is a quick 1 click. The app can teach a lot about what runs & why. It also offers a lot of fine control.

I also use the root app Startup Manager which is self explanatory & efficient.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
LOL {hit myself on the head}, didn't occur me to try...

I was hoping there is a way to avoid using apps...

Ok, I suppose it opens another question which I thought about creating a new thread for, but if the opportunity already arose...

How do you actually know if you can trust an app?

I'm kinda new to android and I'm much more used to the opennes of windows, also I'm pretty paranoid (a cellphone contains information 100 times more sensitive than a PC (At least my PC is like that)). I look at the permissions every app want to have and I'm simply aghast, I know of the logic behind those requests (at least for most of those I've seen) but I have zero transparency over what actions the app takes.

That really stress me a great deal...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Thank you very much for the comprehensive reply!

Indeed some of the things here are common sense but some were fairly new to me, like the close contact you are suggesting with the developer.

I have to ask though, what reviews are you reffering to? the ones in the app market or the ones on here? Also, from what I have seen in the play market, all of the reviews are about functionality but no one actualy checks the veracity of the code.

Like for instance some song recognition&download software that requires internet access permission (makes sense) and SD card access permission (also makes sense), but besides doing what it does (in a splendid manner, leaving tons of happy customers) it also steals your Whatsapp chat logs (just read an article about that breach 10 mins ago)...

How can people catch on that (otherwise the app will linger for 2 years, giving you the impression you're not an early adopter)?

Hrmph, you have given some very sound advice which I obviously intend to follow through and for that I thank you. However it seems to me like the underlying foundation is still trust in the publisher (not to abuse the permissions you had to enable for functionality sake), and the trust should stem from how well the author presents itself to the community. I suppose it is the nature of the beast, it is just that if I were to sneakily attack someone I would make sure to present myself in th best way possible ;) . :P

thx.

PS. my version is 4.1 but I'll see what I can do about Appops.

P.P.S I just searched for "Tasks" on google market and all I see is an organizer. Did you mean "Task Killer"?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
The "Tasks & Kill All tiles" I referred to appear on Android Tuner Free's One Click advanced mode home screen. BTW certain apps on my phone are "frozen" when not in use.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
I forgot to mention. 4.3 I'm running is on the 4.1.2 bootloader, completely avoiding lopsided knox security. I hope I didn't appear to recommend the OTA update. That's a personal choice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oy-ster:
Thanks again! :)

I just wanted to note that after spending some time here in the forum( http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/ ) looking for some intresting picks, I haven't actually encountered much comments from people that actually went over the code... so I'm a bit bummed out. :silly: :laugh:

Oh. Got it.

Anyway, Thank you!!! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pc103:
You're welcome. To be fair, most times I've seen postings by people who background checked code it was in rom threads, or over root exploits or security apps. In most other cases due diligence is our best defense.
[HTC One X+] daxius:
I just used the official RUU from HTC to update to 4.2.2. I have and have used the all-in-one tool to unlock the bootloader, and pushed supersu.zip to my phone. but I can't figure out how to install it.

When I try to boot into recovery mode, I get a blue/neutral phone with a red triangle and red exclamation point. From here, I can only access a menu by pressing power and volume up. Nowhere in this menu can I find a way to install supersu.
[HTC One X+] Orvandi:
Run the RUU again, http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader (follow the instructions), flash TWRP (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/131), and then in recovery, select reboot, and there should be instructions to root. When you are rooted and want to switch to CWM, just do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img again.

Rooting isn't as hard as it seems, and you shouldn't need to use a root toolkit.

I purchased a T Mobile MDA to use with my Cingular/ AT&T service. The unit so far has been nothing but problems. I barely if anytime get reception in my basement whereas my Nokia 6620 got it.

My battery life is horrible i charge it and leave it overnite and when i get up after about 10hrs it is at 20%. Nothing is on i did a soft reboot and then charged and removed from charger. No wifi or bt is on. I decided to update to the cingular rom from summit to perhaps get a better reception and also was told if i flash when my battery is at full capacity it tends to give better battery life. I got none of that, just a cingular logo at startup.

I call T Mobile and they ask for my # but i say i just use the phone as a PDA so i couldnt mention reception problems. They said i have to call HTC to get it replaced.

I really was looking forward to owning a ppc and now my experience is horrible. I now want to get the universal but thats about 300$ more so i may just have to go back to my Nokia.

I'm not sure what the implications of changing phone providers are (if any)...

But, here in the UK, I purchased the T-Mobile MDA Compact (JAM), had to return it because it wouldn't start up and I just gave it to a T-Mobile center; it would be then upto them as to how it is repaired- whether 'in-house' or manufacturer.

Did you not purchase the MDA with a SIM card?

Perhaps things work differently in US (presuming you are from there)

the second paragraph refers to the europena legislation but be warned, you can only apply one law or the other (sale of goods act).

if you go down one route, you cant then change to the other if it becomes easier.
