how can i upload it? i dont know do it....
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] cedrick:
Oh well, true that I think you need an FTP program for that (never did it myself tho).

Well, you can attach the file right here, when you post a message, down the write windows you have "add an attachment", browse your drive and select the file, the click Add Attachments and post :wink:

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicolabatini:
The galaxy note pro is a really good tablet. But I would ask you if it support the installation of Windows 8. I think that Galaxy Note Pro should be more useful and more productive with dual boot.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woowdy:
I don't think you can do that but you can use Remote PC to conncet your Windows computer and use it anywhere.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkirmeier:
No, you can't install Windows 8/8.1 on a Note Pro. And I completely disagree about it being more useful. Windows 8/8.1 makes crappy tablet OS and very limited for apps. Even if you could install a legacy x86/x64 installation (you can't cause note pro is a arm chip) and run traditional PC apps it would suck as traditional PC apps just don't work well on touch screen devices. Use the Remote PC or RDP to connect your your desktop/laptop for those things that you need full Windows otherwise use the tablet as intended...
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hiyoto:
The primary reason I'd be interested in installing Windows 8 would be to use it as a cheaper Cintiq Companion. But I suppose the biggest drawback would by stylus support. Any experience on using remote on this tablet on Photoshop with pressure sensitivity? Most posts I'm finding are either no or "maybe if the right app exists".
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Doesn't work. I've tried everything to get that to work. The problem is that because Photoshop runs inside an app, the app itself needs to be able to register the pen pressure. They don't, so Photoshop can't see it either.

[General Questions and Answers] jkxklutz:
We all know about calibrating the battery after flashing a new rom, but what about for nightlies, or when you're coming from a different version of the same rom? Just wondering if there's a need to go through the drain-charge cycles...

Thanks in advance for any input..
[General Questions and Answers] justmpm:
Actually this is a myth: http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-battery-stats-does-not-improve-battery-life/
[General Questions and Answers] jkxklutz:
I have seen this, but though it only refers to wiping the actually battery stats. Are you saying that even the fully drain and fully charge method is obsolete? Meaning that when I flash a new rom or nightly I just charge it whenever without any calibration?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] winqzero:
Hello everybody,

I need help with my HTC vivid device, I can't install roms,

many time I tried to finish to install any rom,the device only show on the boot screen the HTC LOGO and the white background:crying:, no more...

the only rom that i can install is a original rom from the Ruu's source... I have my rooted phone ... always showme on the recovery screen a error called '' a eMMC error '' example: E: can't (mount , writte, whatever) on emmc/bklpl09 ) more or less is a error ..

I need fix it problem , please helpme
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
Just verifying: are you are always flashing a new boot.img using fastboot whenflashing a new rom?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sway8966:
Some time when your downloaded rom is corrupted you could get that kind of error. Sometime the recovery program could not access the extSD card you could get it too.

After you download the rom check whether it is corrupted or not. Some rom developer posted their md5 for their rom. In that case check the md5.

You could transfer the file to internal storage if you think your extSD card has an error.

Do the clean install every time ( wipe/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, etc..)

When I upgrade my vivid to CM 11 from CM 10 I had to flash it twice to work.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dat-hero-guy:
Is your HTC-Vivid fully rooted? A fully rooted Vivid will show "S-OFF" at the HBOOT screen. (HBOOT is the screen that comes up when you hold DOWN VOLUME and POWER).

If your Vivid is "S-ON" you will need to be sure to flash the boot.img file using flashboot with every ROM install. If you are S-ON, are you flashing the boot.img from the ROM you are trying to install?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
While you are correct about needing to flash boot.IMG while you are s-on, being s-off or on has nothing to do with rooting your phone. It is a completely different thing, and only required to modify partitions of your phone which could cause a hard brick if you do something wrong.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dat-hero-guy:
Really? I was told that certain ROM features wouldn't function without access to the secure partition. Hardware stuff like over/underclocking. Is that not true?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] projectisaac:
Over clocking and underclocking have nothing to do with s-off. Besides mucking with the radio, the only things that s-off really let you do is easily unlock your sim, and make a new boot screen (for example, I have a picture of the crab nebula instead of an HTC splash screen). And of course automatically and directly flash the kernel (boot.IMG) from the zip file your ROM is in.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
The 4.4.2 update brings a rather annoying bug in the Google location service. That's the thing that's used in things like Google Now, Google +, but also the weather widget and such. In previous versions of the system, this used to just wake the device in a configurable time interval, check current location and go to sleep again.

In 4.4.2, this service keeps a nonstop wakelock, updating your location every single moment. There's no setting to make it less aggressive. You can disable the location service in settings completely, but for me even this didn't work and it also disabled all location-dependent features of multiple apps and widgets.

Here's what I did to get rid of this absurd battery drain:

install Xposed if you haven't already (this step requires root or a custom recovery)

install Wakelock Terminator and enable it in Xposed

look for Google Play services in the list of apps and enable “Prevent Wake Lock” for this app

tap on “Filter Wake Lock” and enter the following text in the pop-up:

NlpCollectorWakeLock NlpWakeLock CheckinService NetworkLocationLocator

finally, reboot your phone

Wakelock Terminator lets you filter the wakelocks of a single app for free; if you want to limit the wakelocks of multiple apps, you'll have to make an in-app purchase.

There are other ways to get rid of the wakelock. You can freeze the offending app using Titanium. You can use the Per App Hacking Xposed module to completely disable all wakelocks for Google Play Services. Both of these, however, will break a lot of apps, including the market. Wakelock Terminator is the only Xposed module I found that lets you select which specific wakelocks to disable and which ones to allow and this is rather crucial, since the app uses other wakelocks that you don't want to disable.

There's also Greenify, you might want to check that out as well. However, greenify doesn't let you decide which aspects of an app to block and which ones to allow either. It just forces the app to freeze as soon as you don't have it in the foreground, which, in this case, means it blocks the app all the time (Google Play Services only provides background services as far as I know).
[HTC Butterfly S] lebmb:
Thank you, I was planning to go back to 4.3 or even 4.2.2 cuz I have been barely getting a day when i used to get a good 2 with my use. I'll try it tonight
[HTC Butterfly S] sjred_uk:
Is this guide for rooted phones only?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Exactly the same situation here. I used to get two days with a generous reserve (although not enough to last a third day) and was down to barely a single day with 4.4.2. This fix has made the mileage sgnificantly better on 4.4.2, although I think there's still some room for improvement.

Yes, unfortunately. You need either root or a custom recovery to install Xposed. I'll update the OP.
[HTC Butterfly S] elf_made:
Thanks man! Great stuff! I choose this phone because it has HTC quality and a great great battery! Thanks for bringing that back!
[HTC Butterfly S] tropical cactus:
Thanks for this, koniiiik. Battery drain no longer as crazy as before.:)
[HTC Butterfly S] SkorpEaGLe:
NlpCollectorWakeLock & NlpWakeLock are still at the two top places of Wakelockers :)
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
No idea. This got rid of them for me completely. Are you sure you haven't made a typo?

At any rate, Google Play services is still the top battery hog on my phone, keeping wakelocks for about 30% of time, which is still a lot. The culprits are Checkin Service and Event Log Service, I'll try to find out more about them to see if I can safely blacklist those as well.
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
AFAIK, NlpCollectorWakeLock stands for Network location picker - it can be connected either with Google services (have to clear all data from gapps and google framework) or if the option of automatic wi-fi searching by google apps is enabled.
[HTC Butterfly S] kingkong0821:
i am using the sixth sense rom right now

and there is a AppOps thing in settings

is it the same way as this guide does

if i just deny the the keep awake option for google play services?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
No idea. I guess it won't do exactly what you want, if you disable wakelocks for the whole Google Play services app, you won't get notifications from apps like gmail, hangouts, the market etc. Also, it depends on how it blocks the wakelocks – whether it raises an exceptions or simply silently ignores the request. In the former case, you'll be getting force closes from all apps using Google Play services all the time, in the latter case, it would work, but probably too aggressively.

Anyway, just try and see for yourself. It might work, it might not.
[HTC Butterfly S] sjred_uk:
Has anyone tried a soft reset?

Seems to have worked for my stock unrooted Butterfly S.

Battery seems to be better than before the update.

Very relieved.
[HTC Butterfly S] lebmb:
So far no change in battery life for me, think it's time to go back to 4.2 or maybe viper 4.3 it was worth a shot though. Thanks for trying
[HTC Butterfly S] beny ms:
Thanks dude

It's work for me

Last week i try to freeze all system apps

But no change
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
YMMV, of course. Before following this guide, I recommend checking that Google Play services is indeed the culprit and that it is caused by the same wakelocks. It did improve things a lot for me, although not to the same efficiency as 4.3 or 4.2.
[HTC Butterfly S] hihiivy247:
I haven't root my bs uet, but after turning off the stupid [OK Google] hotword detection, the battery will be a lot better

[HTC Butterfly S] Bryannrx:
Mine not rooted but this way works for me....I charged it full and plug it out, turn off my phone,

I wake up turn my phone on...and my battery suddenly became sooo much better.
[HTC Butterfly S] lebmb:
you know, i can never seem to tell what is really using up power, i've tried some apps but they didn't work well, the system one in the power settings is very vague and doesn't make sense. what do you or others use? anything reliable and trust worthy?

I haven't had time to downgrade, but too busy. I flashed the only custom kernel we have and i'm underclocked to 1024 and powersaver as the governor and still not making it past 10 hours. so sad
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
I've been using the GSam battery monitor app and it appears to work quite well. However, on 4.4, none of the apps in market are likely to work out of the box, for example, GSam requires you to install and use their root companion app to give any meaningful results. Alternately, you can try some of the Xposed modules that make access to the battery stats possible.
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
my BS seems to drain the battery much faster as well since 4.4, sadly i was stupid enough not to s-off before updating to 4.4

for today's power usage, android system took 75%, so i guess i have the same problem and will have to wait for a 4.4 root method?
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
You can still install a custom recovery and root your phone, you just have to unlock via HTCdev.com. You don't need S-OFF for that.
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
doh, seems i'm a lil rusty at the rooting game, thought i needed root before i could flash recovery :)

installed and seems to work quite well indeed, many thanks!
[HTC Butterfly S] Ev1dence:
How do I know if I am affected with this bug as well? I am on 4.4.2 and I do experience massive battery drain but the app Battery Drain Analyser shows that it is Google Contacts Sync which drains my battery (please see screenshot attached to this message).

Do you think it is related to the issue of this topic or is it a different issue? - It feels like 1% of battery is gone within 5 minutes...

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Thank you very much in advance!
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
If Google Play services is not the app responsible for the drain on your devices, disabling wakelocks for it will not help you.

In order to confirm, you'll need an app that can show individual wakelocks that have kept your phone awake. GSam can do that, as long as you use the root companion on 4.4. When you select a particular app in GSam, it displays a lot of statistics, including a list of all wakelocks the app has been holding and for each wakelock also how long it has been held.
[HTC Butterfly S] Thecrazyskull:
Thanks for your tut but it didn't help me... And yes google play services and Google services ( i think they are the same) are draining my battery.. any idea??
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Well you have to look at the list of wakelocks in GSam and if there are some that are still eating your battery, just add them to the list in Wakelock Terminator.
[HTC Butterfly S] Thecrazyskull:
Thanks i try out.
[HTC Butterfly S] RandyBoyz92:
I'm new to this(rooting) and things are still a little bit scary.

Everywhere it says that Xposed can brick your phone. How likely is it that it happen? Is it installing Xposed that is risky or getting modules or both.
[HTC Butterfly S] killahax:
So did this theary and still no go, did it all correct amd only get 9hrs on full charge, not 48hrs like i was on 4.2.2. Looks like im saying screw 4.4.2 and going 4.2.2.

Unless there is other ways or a miracle on whats goin on with this battery issue. I feel like im back with my galaxy s facinate with 4.4.2
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Did you at least check that the wakelocks you blocked by following the guide are really the ones draining your battery? If so, are they still the ones causing problems or are there any others?
[HTC Butterfly S] killahax:
Sure did and still no go.
[HTC Butterfly S] killahax:
Now that ive done the steps my power button light stays on now.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
Could you be a little bit more specific? Were the wakelocks you added to the filter the ones causing battery drain? What happened after enabling the wakelock block? What does GSam report?

This sentence does not make any sense to me, the power button on the Butterfly S does not have backlight of any kind (unless you can see infrared light d-: ).
[HTC Butterfly S] Sir_gpm:
Do I still get gcm notifications?. If I freeze the service in the OP?.
[HTC Butterfly S] koniiiik:
What's “gcm”?

Also, it's not about freezing any service, it's about disabling a particular set of incorrectly used wakelocks.
[HTC Butterfly S] generalnod:
Thanks for this, oddly Wakelock Terminator seems to have been removed from the play store, nor is it in the separate xposed module repository, nor can I find anything about this on the web ;/

Tons of pages telling you to install it but nothing about where it's gone...any idea what happened to Wakelock Terminator and where we can get it? :(

thanks

I would guess this is no longer supported. I came here hoping to find out if it works with lollipop, but since there's no information on that I tend to think not. You might want to look at NLP Unbounce, which seems to do similar things:

You don't need to flash the custom recovery to your phone to use it, you can just boot it "one time" from your computer by using the 'fastboot boot' command (instead of 'fastboot flash recovery').

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Nathan2:
Do you notice any reception or LTE performance differences going from the AT&T firmware to the International variant (on which ARHD is based)?

I flashed KnoxRaid which is based on the AT&T stock and also gets rid of carrier IQ and AT&T bloatware, but mobile hotspot/tethering still doesn't work. So I want to try ARHD or Maximus but I'm worried maybe reception/battery life won't be as good?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] robstunner:
No ARHD is solid, mike1986 is one of the most respected devs in my opinion. Can't comment on tethering though I never use it.

Hi, is been over a week from the ATT 4.4.2 release and i wanted just to ask if someone is working at the full firmware because i really need to flash that after i bad flash an european version without thinking that i had the bootloader locked and an AT&T phone, help! 10 days without and andorid phone!
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
ATT just started pushing the OTA... it could be a few weeks until we see a full SBF available. Until then, with a locked bootloader there is nothing you can do, because you can't flash files not signed by motorola.

I'm sure as soon as its available it will be posted here -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
[Moto X Q&A] Albi.ema23:
hem, why the firmware isn't out? someone is working at it? i really need the upload because my phone always boot on fastboot for a bad flash, please
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Its not out because Moto doesn't release it... we rely on people to gain access and leak the files.. So there is no set time table for them being available.

I'm sure the people who maintain that site are continually trying to grab the latest SBF files. So as soon as they get access to it, it will be posted.
[Moto X Q&A] Albi.ema23:
ah, so... what i should do? the phone "think" that the last ATT firmware is a downgrade because i tryed to flash the 4.4.2 EU, there is a way or i MUST wait for ATT 4.4.2 firmware?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I would say wait.

Others might suggest flashing say the T-Mobile/GSM DEV XT1053 rom... but I'm not sure how safe that is.
[Moto X Q&A] Albi.ema23:
can that be flashed on a XT1058 ATT bootloader locked?
[Moto X Q&A] Albi.ema23:
do you think that an motorola service center can do something?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Locked bootloader? Not sure. And I really hesitate to suggest flashing roms for other models.

They will likely try and do warranty. But if you flashed with wrong rom, they may not cover it as "under warranty"

Btw, you never really said what rom you tried flashing, and exactly what issues you are having now.
[Moto X Q&A] Albi.ema23:
i tried to flash "Blur_Version.161.44.16.ghost_row.Retail.en.EU" with RDS Lite but the flash has stop at the boot "failed sflashing process. 6/17 flash boot "boot.img" then i tried the same with the adb&fastboot after that i turn on the phone and on the screen there was "Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56 preflash validation failed for boot", Failed to hab check for recovery : 0x56 preflash validation failed for recovery , Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56 PIV block validation for system failed Invalid PIV image: system

then i re flashed the original ATT 4.4 and at the boot in the screen was writen Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Yeah, once you get 4.4.2 on there you do NOT want to downgrade.

At this point, you can try reading -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/tut-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-corrupt-t2629057 but post #120 implies you need the ATT 4.4.2 SBF to really fix it.
