[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nefologist:
Well i have recently watched a commercial for some S4 Clones, vendors made it clear that the phone is a clone, but made from the same materiel, same everything [Logo, headphone] and same CPU hence probably a really good clone, now i am looking to buy a Phone now but i dont wanna get screwed over in purchasing one of the clones, So i am looking for ways to know if the phone is clone or the really samsung deal. i have also seen this for the iPhone 5, I will attached the link if anybody request it
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carlyle_f:
Its likely that it would have a different model number and wouldn't actually have the Samsung logo right? I'd remove the battery and check for the Samsung logo and model number at the back

Hello,

You guys know the old landline cabled phones ? :D So I still got one.

My problem is, i don`t know who`s calling me.

Its connected to the same router as my PC and my Z1.

On my PC i have found a program thats called NCID.NET. It shows me who is actually calling me. Everytime someone calls me, it shows the full

number on my pc :) Well nice, but my pc doesn`t run all the time, so i always miss a few calls

What i thought, my xperia Z1 is always running and connected to WiFi when i`m at home. Why couldn`t it show me, who is calling there?

I`ve been searching for an app like this a long time now but haven`t found nothing.

Maybe someone could point me where to look at, send me a link, or maybe if this kind of app doesn`t exist for android...- create one ?

I have got an Easybox router from Vodafone in germany.

Thanks

Kindest Regards

Can any1 tell me how to turn on the keyboards backilght ?

i have one XDA EXEC and one MDA PRO neither of which turn the backlight when i write text (a note/email/sms...)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AndyChecker:
The backlight for the keyboard comes on when it is dark only as it is light sensitive :lol:

If you cover the little white 'dot' above the green make call button with your stylus and start typing you should see the keyboard light up in the day!

You can also disable it so the keyboard always lights up when pressed.

Hi,

I'm using Co-Core 8.2 and I want to test One Power Guard to improve my battery life.

But I don't have any idea about which CPU governor and I/O scheduler to choose.

Could someone tell me which combination provides the best balance between power-save and performance?

I'm on Jelly Bean 4.1.2

NB. Cocafe recommends PegasusQ as CPU governor and either SIO/ROW for I/O scheduler but I would like to get some feedback from people already using One Power Guard.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaRkRhiNe:
Pegasus and sioplus

OR

Hotplug and sioplus
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisblop:
Thanks for the answer. I will give a try with Pegasus

However I noticed that sioplus is not available on One Power Guard settings. Only row and sio.

Is sioplus available in Co-core 8.2?
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King ov Hell:
These apps like this just drains your battery. If you want play with CPU, download a CPU controller app. (like SetCPU) and install CoCore 9.0 which is newest version.

When you don't use phone ; 600 MHz Max & HotPlug

When you don't use phone V2 ; 600 MHz Max & Ondemand & deeper sleep status

When you lock phone, don't decrease speed (too much) because it will use whole CPU if it needs ; 800 MHz Max & Ondemand Q/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q

When using ; 1000 MHz Max & Ondemand/Interactive/Lulzactive Q/Pegasus Q

When you get mad and crazy about performance, lock the min to max; 1000 MHz min and max & Ondemand & SmartAss (still exists or not I don't know)

If you increase minimum speed it will keep it. So I suggest always keep min to 200MHz. (if exists 0 MHz I don't remember it too)

Edit: and don't go deeper sleep if you use hot plugger governors like Hotplug, Pegasus, Lulzactive Q

Hi again,

What exactly do you mean wit "deeper sleep"?

Is that an option or when the display is off after several minutes?

Sorry for my ignorance
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King ov Hell:
Go to the CoCore's thread you'll see. It's deep sleep level which can increase your battery life when you don't use the device. It's not about using, it's about when it's stand-by.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luisblop:
Ok

After one day even if One Power Guard is a nice app I prefer to switch governor depending on the display status. So I was thinking about using tasker (instead setCPU) which is already running on my phone and this way not adding more background processes.

I set a couple of task using the CPU control from tasker. It is working fine switching governors but I noticed that the frequencies (min and max) don't change. I tried even with shell script and still I don't get to set the max frequency. Then I prefer to make you a couple of questiosn:

-In tasker when using the CPU control. If I change governor. Should it be set in both CPUs (0 and 1) or only in a single one? In my case i set the governor in both.

-I use the terminal to check the current governor and max frequency (for instance for the cpu0)

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor​

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq​

As said above the governor is succesfully changed but that's not the case for the frequency. Then I tried to run a shell script to change the max frequency as follows:

echo #frequency > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq​

But it seems not working neither. So I wonder if I'm doing something wrong.

NB. By the way I'm happy using the governor hotplug while not using my phone (thanks for the advice). In normal use I set pegasusq with sio and seems working great.

Venom 3.1.0 - New Radio really fixes battery drain, wifi disconnects & rand. reboots

Hi Guys,

I just like to inform everyone who encounters the same problems with the Team Venom Rom, that going S-Off to install the recommend Radio (1.20.XXX) is totally worth it. I was hesitating for going S-Off cause I thought it was quite complicated, but thanks to rumrunners method, I haven't to do much. After flashing the new radio all Problems were gone, and now I'm glad to use Venom 3.1.0 as my daily driver.

In the last episode:

At night, when the phone sleeps next to me, the mobile connection was always lost. Also it seems that this absence of signal seems to drain battery.

After the update the signal is quite stable, and my battery better than on stock

The random reboots are gone, too (This may correlate with the new update, dunno).

What I had:

unlocked/tempered/hboot 2.15/radio 1.15.XXXX/Venom 3.0.1/TWRP 2.6.3

What I did:

[General Questions and Answers] gruezi333:
Hi,

Many guides suggest using the well known dd command to dump partitions from Android systems.

(For instance http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2450045)

However, some people suggest using nanddump / nandwrite instead, because of the nature of the storage components.

(see : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1247908)

So, my two questions :

1) Should nandump be used instead of dd clone Android partitions in low level mode (i.e. filesystem unaware) ?

2) What would be the possible shortcomings of using the widely spread "dd" command instead ?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Klemse:
nanddump => with OOB metadata (dd without)

A quite interesting question indeed, I'm wondering about that too...

in my unsuccessfull case of trying to get my phone SMS data back it didn't seem to make any difference.

As far as I could find out is the Physical image by nanddump a little bit more rich of content: including the metadata Out-Of-Band (OOB)

... don't think this is relevant in forensics analysis of data recovery! ....??

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaskie:
Hello everyone,

I have been having an issue using usb tethering on my Xperia Z1.

I will start by explaining what i am doing to make it work:

- Connect the Xperia Z1 to the computer using the micro usb to usb cable

- Turn WiFi on, on the Xperia Z1

- Go to Settings, Others (or similar), Tethering, and turn USB Tethering on.

Now, once that happens, the computer (Windows 7) will detect it and it will start working but!

After a few minutes a couple of situations can happen:

- USB Tethering turns itself off on the phone (sometimes making it so that i can't turn it on unless i turn off and on the phone)

- Windows says the connection is off, and that it no longer is receiving internet or connection. But, the USB Tethering is still on, on the phone

This situation seems to happen in two situations, either a few minutes of using the Internet on the computer, or when downloading something on the computer, the speed goes to the max, and when it peaks at it's max, it's as if it overloads, and the connection goes off again.

I have tried everything i could think of, and i have also tried all the computer usbs.

I would honestly appreciate all the help in the world as right now i am quite dependent on getting work done from home.

Thank you!!

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nichiyoubi:
Did you check if the Wi-Fi or tether settings? I'm taking a guess that it might shut off the connection or go to 'sleep' after a few minutes.

Also I'm not sure if this helps but there's an option in Power Management that says 'Queue Background Data', try turning that off and see if it stabilizes the connection.

TWRP 2.7

Introduction:

Team Win Recovery Project 2.7, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. We started from the ground up by taking AOSP recovery and loading it with the standard recovery options, then added a lot of our own features. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel.

Screenshots:

Phone look:

Tablet look:

​

What's new in 2.7.0.0:

Faster graphics rendering by disabling alpha blending on fully opaque objects thanks to Tassadar

Allow sideloading from /tmp on encrypted devices

Check for a crypto footer before asking for a password to prevent user confusion

Additional checks for validity to auto generated backup names

Text wrap in the console output

Proper caps lock support in the keyboard

Mouse support via USB OTG for devices with a broken digitizer

Improve scanning of storage locations for OpenRecoveryScript

Haptic feedback for buttons, keyboard, and vibration at the end of longer running actions

Fixed ext4 wiping when no selinux contexts are defined for that partition (e.g. sd-ext)

Update SuperSU to 1.93 and improve installation process

Added selinux contexts restoration to fix permissions

Load RTC offset on Qualcomm devices to fix the date/time in recovery

USB Mass Storage fixes Add SELinux support checking

Add Disk Usage class to better handle excluded folders (e.g. Google Music cache)

Add 4.4 decrypt support

Add some toolbox utilities to TWRP (namely to support SELinux functions not supported in busybox)

Various SELinux fixes and bug fixes

Note: 2.7 marks the first time that we are dropping support for older devices. We are doing this because of the SELinux support needed to install 4.4 Kit Kat ROMs. The non-TWRP parts of the recovery image have to be built in at least a 4.1 tree and the kernel that is included in the recovery image has to support writing SELinux contexts. We don't own most of the devices that we support so we depend on outside testers and developers to help us update devices. In many cases we can't find someone readily. Come to #twrp on Freenode if you want to help bring your device up to date. You can tell right away if your device will support 4.4 ROMs in 2.7. Boot TWRP and press the console button (the square-ish button either in the bottom middle or upper right) to view the console output. If it doesn't say "Full SELinux support" in the console, then your device still needs some work. Help us help you.

Changelog for LG P500:

20140311

SELinux functions support

Android 4.4.2 support

20140406

USB Mass Storage mounting

Display brightness and timeout settings working

20140725

TLS support

Swap /system and /userdata

Installation:

I have never used Odin on an LG device. As I understand it's widely used by Samsung owners. But there are other methods that I am familiar with. If you are able to access fastboot mode on your rooted LG P500 device, you could extract the zip, and use AndroidFlashRecovery:

to flash recovery.img. Also there is a simple installation script that I use in terminal emulator:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/7baf5u85iah4fa0/rec.zip

Download and extract the zip into the root of your sdcard so that the path is /sdcard/rec. Copy desired recovery.img to the rec directory, overwriting the one that is already there. DO NOT RENAME RECOVERY.IMG. Install a terminal emulator from play.and start it. Type "su" (without quotes) and enter. Superuser prompt should appear. select allow. now type "sh /sdcard/rec/rec.sh" (without quotes) and enter. Phone will reboot into your new recovery.
