Hey guys. I found thing website called UpgradeSwap and they sell used phones. Their prices are really good but I wanted to see what you all thought. I want to make sure it's safe. They use PayPal and they claim they're Verified.

Any tips for me so that I can make sure I'm buying safely from them or has anyone had any experience with them?

Thanks in advance.

I was just looking at how to save battery on the Google nexus site cuz I was bored, but also deep down trying to save battery, and I read that lowering your screen time out saves battery.. how? like I have mine at 30 minutes because I always turn off my screen when I'm done with my phone, and if I'm reading something or looking at a picture or whatever it won't turn off on me. how will setting it to like 15 seconds save your battery, when I turn off my phone when I'm done with it anyway at 30 minutes time out?

thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Just based on the principle that you might leave the screen on when you set it down. If you're turning the screen off yourself every time it won't save you anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
A 3-min time out will reduce the loss of power in the event that you inadvertently do not turn off the screen, but would still allow for uninterrupted reading.

Is one of the speakers blown?
[Sprint LG G2] stevie13.xo:
Actually i can hear music out of the left speaker but its not even loud

There is actually only one speaker in there.

this has been going on for a while now, but on some websites, especially xda, when I go into a thread the very first post as well as some other posts look jumbled together. is there any way to fix this? it's so annoying cuz I have to wait like 3 years for it to go to normal

thanks!

Flip your phone into landscape view. It goes away.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjoostema:
I had this happening too! I was driving me crazy as sometimes it wouldn't do it, but 99% of the time it did. Mine personally never straightened out, even in landscape mode...but that may just be my phone. Nexi seem to have individual quirks haha. I eventually had to abandon chrome due to this and the com.sandbox process draining the hell outta my browser. If it doesn't resolve, I recommend to you Next Browser. Has pretty much all the same features and I have yet to have any glitches on it like I did on Chrome.

I get this as well - I presume everyone does. For me I've only ever seen it on XDA... looks like it's been reported via the Chromium bug tracker...

I have the same issue here on XDA as well. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onismurai:
Well I will switch to any browser that has the same performance as Chrome has also didn't have this issue. So annoying. But Chrome (I use the Beta one) is the fastest browser in KitKat I would say. It's not like another browser wasn't good, but chrome is really fast and smooth. Naked Browser is great but I hate it's interface. Too ugly.

P/S: whenever you want to get out of that font issue, switch to landscape and then switch back. It's gone right away for me
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhilipTD:
On what sites other than xda does it occur, please?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NuckFuggets:
yeah same here, I tried using another browser but couldn't,I always came back to chrome

I'm not sure,I didn't memorize any, I just know that sometimes when I'm browsing the web I get really annoyed when I see this haha
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
A slight digression, but does anyone else find the auto-sizing of the text in Chrome a little annoying? It's obviously the route of the issues here where it re-sizes the text but doesn't allow a large enough gap between the lines.

Why does Chrome feel the need to make some text huge and other text tiny? This is especially an issue on forums like XDA where one post is like size 24 and the next one looks like 12. I'd like to know the algorithm used to decide whose posts are more important :D

I took apart my phone today to replace the USB keyboard. The only two things attached to it were two cables, one was LTE and not sure on the other.

Ever since then, my bluetooth is super shoddy when I put my hand over certain parts of the phone.

Is the bluetooth on one of those antennas? Or did something else get loose?

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] AndroPlus:
Sony divided notification and quick settings in 4.4, but it's not easy to use quick settings with one finger now.

I managed to show quick settings in notification tab!

View attachment 2646930

[EDIT]

SystemUI Patcher can do same thing!

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wedy.systemuimod

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.wedy.systemuimod

1. Decompile SystemUI.apk

2. Open SystemUI.apk\res\layout\somc_tabs_status_bar_expanded.xml, then edit

<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.tools.ToolsTabWidget android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

to

<com.sonymobile.systemui.statusbar.tools.ToolsTabWidget android:orientation="horizontal" android:id="@android:id/tabs" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="0.0dip" />

This will hide tabs.

3. Open SystemUI.apk\res\layout\somc_quick_settings_tab.xml and copy LinearLayout

For example (.681),

<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

4. Open SystemUI.apk\res\layout\somc_notifications_tab.xml and paste "3."'s LinearLayout above

<include layout="@layout/status_bar_expanded_stylus_actions" />

For example (.681),

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/notifications_tab" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:animateLayoutChanges="false"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:systemui="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/com.android.systemui">
<LinearLayout android:orientation="vertical" android:id="@id/tools_rows" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<include layout="@layout/status_bar_expanded_stylus_actions" />

5. Now quick settings should be shown on notification tab, but tiles are too big.

To make them smaller, open SystemUI.apk\res\values\dimens.xml and edit

<dimen name="notification_panel_tools_row_height">100.0dip</dimen>

to 50.0dip or something you like.

Attached image is 50.0dip

[optional]

If you want to change items per row,

open SystemUI.apk\res\values\integers.xml and edit

<integer name="config_maxToolItemsInARow">4</integer>

6. Save all and compile.

7. Install SystemUI.apk with adb or recovery, Done!

Modded SystemUI.apk for Z1 .681 deodexed can be downloaded from here (Xperia logo home ver.) (flashable)

Note this apk will not work on custom rom.

I added quick settings tile setting to SystemUI Patcher.

http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.wedy.systemuimod

I have no knowledge to integrate list preference, so tiles per low is fixed to 6 at the moment:crying:

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] nikFarhan96:
Hello

Is that i just need to install systemui apk only?

Or did i need todo as from the first step?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] AndroPlus:
If you are using stock deodexed rom (not custom rom such as RomAur), you just need to install SystemUI.apk.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] avveMeetU:
can i reset back??:confused:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] schickel:
I think, if you make a buckup from your system.ui.apk, then yes
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] nikFarhan96:
Yes,i will flash to NUT fw 4.4 and deodexed patched.

So just need to install lke normal apk.is there any problem if i remove this SystemUI.apk into system?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] AndroPlus:
Install via recovery(use XZDR 2.7.99) is recommended.

If you want to revert, you have to overwrite SystemUI.apk with non-modded one, in this case NUT's SystemUI.apk

On stock...All you have to do to show the quicksettings is pull the bar down with two fingers from any screen. That will pull the quicksettings rather than the notifications tab.

You can use my zip and Xposed module to do the same thing as OP,

but I couldn't make it possible to do it only with Xposed module...

If someone can write code for it, please help me...

https://github.com/WedyDQ10/SystemUI_Patcher

How to do the same as OP with zip and Xposed module:

Download

Old_quick_settingsv2.zip

SystemUI Patcher

1. Install and enable SystemUI Patcher

2. Open SystemUI Patcher settings and check

"Hide tabs"

"Change quick settings" - if you want to change the number of tiles in a row

"Change quicik settings height" - If you want smaller tiles

3. Install Old_quick_settingsv2.zip via recovery

4. Done

[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
Hi all,

I am using lava xolo Q2000 model mobile with android jelly bean in it.

I m used to games a lot, So I have gone for apps which are not from google play. There my mistake strsrts, at that time my mobile performance and all were good.

But later the following problems started,

1. The display just turned off and I can able to sense and hear the application is still running but only the screen turned off, when I am rebooting my mobile it gets OK and working fine - Is this problem on hardware or its OS or because of any third party app installed ?

2. Whenever I switching ON my network connection the mobile itself installs random apps by itself :confused: :( the frequent one getting installed is flappy bird. I keep on unistalling it several times it is getting installed everytime I m getting internet connection - If it was an issue with the virus from third party apps please help me in how to remove them ?

I know there were many android geeks around in this forum, So I am here to meet them by answering and helping me....

Thanks in advance :rolleyes:
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
First question: What apps did you install?

And next one: Did you uninstall all of them after facing this issues?

Are you rooted yet?
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
No I haven't rooted.

I cant differentiate which are from android market and what are from outside of it :( .

I have un-installed most of the apps that I suspect, but few might be still in phone :mad:

Could you please tell me how to find the difference from the sources.

Are you sure uninstalling them will avoid the behavior completely. please help me . Do I need to Factory reset ?
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
best way to control is phone is the root acces.

First you should install some avast antivirus. Normally google play checks every application for unwished content.

I do many installs manually without google checking my apps and also i dont use some antivirus, because i feel very familiar with my setup.

Here you can find AVAST apk Wasn't that easy to find without googgle Play... see if it reports you some malware :)
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
Nice

I forgot to specify one thing,

I was using lookout(free version) for a long time and it hasn't detected anything. But one strange thing is lookout's logo on top left of mobile was green but it turned black and white for few days where this problem persists.

Should I need to uninstall it and then install avast or both in the mobile wont be harm to the mobile right? because two antivirus in same device I don't now what will happen.
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
just once a time. avast is best i suppose. And generally you should uninstall every app thta missbehaves noticeable to you.
[General Questions and Answers] AlfasMP:
Try to install an antivirus . Virus can make this problem .

If you have root access just temporary unroot it .

Or please restore your backup if you had .

Hope I helped .
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
DID YOU EVEN READ the post?

He just installed Antivirus as i adviced

AND he just wrote hes not rooted @ all

[General Questions and Answers] AlfasMP:
Oh sorry I was in little busy at that time . Tell him just install a custom rom or use ota update to solve this problem .
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
What is OTA update and custom ROM ?

I have installed AVAST as suggested by LS.xD .

I have scanned and found a result of no malwares. Ok lets hang on for some times with avast and see if the problem persists.

Thanks a lot LS.xD .
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
Hi LS,

Thanks for the long explanation given for my question. :good:

I have tried out something about my problem and faced the issue again.

I wanted to know whether the virus is in mobile or SD card so I removed SD card and made internet connection and again the same problem persisted.

The following are the apps getting automatically installed are,

Playapp

UC browser mini

Flappy bird

I planned to take backups and factory reset my phone .

Could you please guide me..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
Did you read the Guide already?
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
Yes I have read and I have some other confusions ,

Whether my phone is in affected state now if I root it then virus could get feel into and turned my phone to brick?

Also whenever I heard of rooting it always makes me afraid of bricking by myself..

That's why I have decided for an factory reset ..

Please give me your suggestion on this ..
[General Questions and Answers] LS.xD:
I cant tell you what is affected or not. FULL wipe and installing Stockrom Q2000 provides best chance to get rid of "IT".

I just google how to.

You should backup Pictures, Contacts

You should NOT try to restore any APP data as long you don't know why your phone begaves like that...

EDIT:

If afraid of possible brick, then try factory reset.

If that doesn't help you can contact me and i'll help you flashing stockrom.

Issue solved

Hi LS,

I have taken all my contents a back up and made a factory reset. Now my phone behaves genuine.

And one more important thing is I have avoided installing third party apk's.:o

But I am fond of heavy games much ... could you please let me know how I can avoid data usage for getting heavy games.

Thanks,

playApp

Hi

I am also having the same problem with my xolo q2000

But i know the cause for this is due to the bloatware "playApp" that comes with the phone

Its an imitation of play store

When connected to network its shows notification adds of apps like

Flappy bird

Funweather

Uc browser etc

After some time those apps gets downloded automatically and launch themself

I found apk files for those apps in my sd card/playApp/downloads folder

And there are other folder in sd card like

PlayPay

Playpush

PPlay

Othet folders are

Data/data/me.powerplay.playapp

Mnt/asec-/me.powerplay.playapp-1 inside this folder there is file pkg.apk with app icon

I rooted my phone using eroot pc software and installed Root toolbox app

and uninstalled the playApp.It was fine for some time and then

after one or two days the playApp application automatically installs itself

and the whole problem starts again i tried uninstalling and deleteing all folders

i thought was related to playApp,deleted files in folders including data folder in restricted folders

But the same thing happend again playApp auto installed and installed other applications

One more thing even though it came with the phone its listed as a userapp

and is not found in the phones app manager

Is there a way to solve this plroblem?

This is my first post and i know only few basic technical things that i read from the net and experimented

Thanks in advance
[General Questions and Answers] gurudevj:
Similar problem

Yes man,

You have encountered the same problem which I have encountered. From my previous comments you could have found the solution.

I have avoided rooting as this may gets serious when giving all permissions when your is under danger. So I declared to FACTORY RESET.

It resolved my problem. But be cautious in taking everything backup.
