[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I never recommend the N5 to "normal" users. Why?? They want the frills the other phones offer. They don't care or know about root. They don't care about update times. They want stable...and features.

At the moment, just from experience...with mostly touchwiz and the moto x.....the moto x is my go to recommended phone. ;)

Sent from my N5, N7, Moto X, G Tab 3 or S2.....

Touchwiz is as ugly as the sammy phone designs! The new touchwiz makes me wanna puke! :silly:

After experiencing stock android experience, I will never switch to any other!

First of all Google doesn't manufacture the Nexus 5, LG does. LOL.

The camera on the Nexus 5 is great! Take a look at those threads in the General forum and see for yourself. You just need to know how to shoot it. However, no doubt it doesn't match up to the s5's camera! :cyclops:

How can anybody expect boom sound dual frontal speakers with 16mp camera on a $350 phone? I don't think the extra $200-300 premium is worth paying for those speakers/camera. May be because I'm not into too much photography and only take about 2-3 pics a day.

As for the media playback, the Nexus 5's speaker is decent and with a good sound mod like V4A, it becomes SWEET!

That being said, Nexuses aren't for everyone as [MENTION=4036181]kj2112[/MENTION] said... Those who love Custom ROM Development and try a lot of new things and want quick updates usually buy Nexus devices and the slight trade off in hardware is acceptable when you look at that price tag! :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shac0:
I don't think I said Google manufactured the Nexus 5 lol..if I did oops. :P

The camera on the Nexus 5 is okay in well lit areas. If it isn't well lit, well then you start to notice large amounts of noise. And I mean any room that doesn't have proper lighting will experience terrible camera quality. It's expected from smart phones, but I have used a lot of other smart phones that don't have the noise issues.

Most typically people are on contract. If you aren't going to be on contract the Nexus 5 is a decent option. But there are other phones like the Moto g, Moto X, Find 7 etc. I love my Nexus 5, but there are flaws with it. If I was on contract, I would definitely get a better phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Cylinder:
Hey!

I have Folder Mount symlinking to my external SD card for downloaded MOG music files on cm11. (I've got about 11gig on there!) On TW ROMs up through 4.3 this worked just fine. When the conversion to emulated/0 came along, I had to jack with it until it worked, but after that it worked normally. Now, MOG kinda reads the files and kinda doesn't. I can get it to play the last song in the playlist if I push the play button about 10 times while it goes back to the play triangle, but no other song on my playlist after that or any other song on the card or even the one I got to play. Folder Mount seems to be working normally, though I had to mount to a different external SD name in cm11. The link is showing up on emulated/0 (sdcard, sdcard0, what name will it have next?) and seems to operate as it should. I can't move the data over and let Folder Mount move it because it's just too dang big.

I've accessed the xml preferences file in MOG but there was nothing in there that seemed to be relevant.

I've looked at gl to sd but it doesn't quite work the way I need it to work. Besides, I just don't know if that's the problem.

It's kinda a sticky problem - anyone with any ideas?

ok so am guessing the 1gig version of the s3 is not getting the kitkat update... i was very excited when i heard the s3 is getting it but disappointed when i heard the international version isnt. u think there is any hope for us yet....??

maybe some great developer can modify a kitkat for us....

If you want 4.4 then go try a custom rom, or discuss it in general forum where there is a sticky thread on kitkat. Don't start new threads.

How can i remove brick loop when my sch-1800 does not have a usb port?
[7 Mozart Windows Phone 7 Development] Piehti:
Hi there,

first of all: I'm sorry to bother you. I know there are ways to read up stuff... but I got too many devices, too many OS and there are too many diffrent ways to r00t, Jailbreak... etc.

Long story short: I got no time and I'm a bit tired of reading up yet the whole story of WMobile. Soooo: I want my HTC 7 Mozart to have

a nice - fast and up to date - ROM.

Why? I yet realized some annoying issues the way it is (no way to connect to my hidden WLAN etc...).

Could someone please tell me in short (or long): What do I need when I want to get my phone updated ( right now its: 7.0.7008.0 // 2250.09.12902.111 Hard-REV: 0004 etc

... Jailbreaks? What ROMS? Pros vs Cons of several ROMs... All Infos you can and want supply would help.

As said I'm a total Windows Phone noob. Just starting from zero. So just spit out everything that comes to your mind. Any Info and own experiences welcome

Thanks in advance and cheers

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] toyanucci:
I've been using tasker to automate my gps and wifi on my devices from Galaxy S3 days, but I've recently started using it on my Note 10.1 2014 with a few tweaks and it has made a huge difference.

I didn't create these profiles from scratch, I edited them for my purpose and am sharing them with you guys. Import the profiles into tasker following the instructions in the pic attached.

Gps variables sets a variable when google maps or waze is opened and clears the variable when either app is minimized.

Auto gps automatically turns gps on when google maps or waze is opened and turns it back off when either is minimized. However, it waits 3 minutes after the app is minimized before it turns gps off. But while using those apps you may minimize them to check something else, that's where the variable above comes in. Auto gps checks if the variable is set before it turns gps off. So if you minimize waze to check an email them go back to waze, in 3 minutes tasker will check and see that the variable is set and leave gps on. If u minimize and never open back the app then gps is turned off. Sounds complicated, but try it and you will understand. I never need to toggle gps when using the apps listed, you can also edit the profile to change the wait time and apps.

Display (Wifi) is triggered when you turn your screen off. It checks your Internet usage waiting 30 seconds to see if 15kb has been transferred. If more than 15 hadn't been transferred it checks again in 2 minutes until the data usage is below 15 and then it turns wifi off and turns sync off as well. This means if you leave something downloading, it won't kill your connection, but if you are not using any data it will turn wifi and sync off. This has saved me alot of battery in standby. Usually if I forget to turn wifi off before bed I'll lose sometimes 6-8 percent. With wifi off I lose 1-2 percent.

Hope this helps someone out the there.

Forgot to mention...Root is required as well as Secure Settings. Open Secure Settings and scroll to the System+ tab and enable System+ Module.

After this reboot and the profiles should work fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Jettubby:
Thanks but they won't import. Extracted them then I chose import in tasker. Selecting any one of the profiles, tasker gives me a "failed to import profile data"??

Maybe the zip is corrupt?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] toyanucci:
Rezipped from a computer. If it still doesn't work, I've included a titanium backup so you can import the data from it (backup your current profiles first). I'm not sure why it wouldn't import but it has happened to me before when importing profiles I've downloaded. Make sure you're on the latest tasker.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Jettubby:
Just had a thought.....is root required for these? Some profiles yes, some no. The new files didn't work either but I'm not rooted. And I am on the latest tasker. I've been using it on my phone for a while as well.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] toyanucci:
Apologies, root is required as well as secure settings (its in the play store.

You may want to download wakelock detector from the play store, charge your tab to 100%, unplug it and let it sit for 6 hours. Then you will see what is draining your battery

most of the times i've seen this on mine and friend's devices it's google play service killing the battery. it'll go away after a while (i supposed after google snatches all the data it needs from you, lol) it may take a day or a few weeks, but it seems to just stop after a while. greenify will kill the problem promptly, but you'll lose some push notifications like google voice and gmail.

What exactly is the issue your having? Have the profiles been imported? Btw check the OP it may fix whatever issues your having.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] madsquabbles:
just update to the latest version on google play.

works great but it won't save much battery for me since i keep wifi off on sleep anyways. but it does allow the postponing of the wifi off now when downloading, as long as you set wifi to always on and let tasker control it. also like not having to remember to turnon gps before launching waze and maps. so it's not a great battery saver but a huge convenience.

i did have to edit the wifi profile. it didnt have an entry to turn autosync back on with the screen and wifi.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] toyanucci:
Thanks for the feedback. Personally, I hardly sync things on my tablet unless I need to so usually I manually turn sync on and back off. I find that even with wifi off and sync on, I get many wakeups from apps checking if there's an Internet connection available. I have Gmail on my tab but that account is set to only sync manually as I use my note 3 way more for emails, Twitter etc. But that's a personal preference.

Re the gps, it's very convenient to have the profile turn it on, but the savings come from the profile turning it off after minutes of inactivity. That profile came straight from when I had a S3 where after using gps and reaching my destination I'd often forget to turn it off then only realize after my battery had been eaten away lol.

Anyhow, glad it could help, even if it's just to make things a little more convenient :)

When you import the profile it imports everything you need, tasks and variables included. Check your version of Tasker bro.

Tasker is a great programm ;) ... since I discovered it .. its basicly the programm which handles everything ... ;)

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] Qzic:
Got it working

This was the key. I needed to unzip the files from toyanucci and then click on the .xml files in my file explorer on the phone. After that the profiles and tasks were available when long pressing the profiles tab in Tasker.

What I was trying to do before which didn't work was to click on the Home button in tasker then select import and navigating to where I unziped the files. That doesn't work.

These can be combined into a single profile and 2 tasks. Here is how to recreate it (you need tasker, secure settings, and root):

Update: I now understand why this was split into two profiles. There is a task colission if you exit a GPS using app during the wait period. Say you start Maps, switch to check email for 1 min, go back to Maps for 1 min, and then exit maps. When you exit maps, the exit task (with the 3 min wait) is still running from the first time you exited maps. The default behavior for Tasker is for the second exit task to not run since there is already an identical task running. If clearing the %GPSNEEDED is part of the same task, then the variable won't be cleared again (it was set again when you went back to Maps the second time) and GPS won't turn off. The origional creator of this Profile solved this problem by splitting the variable setting tasks and GPS toggle tasks into different tasks.

Another solution is to change the default collision behavior so that the 2nd time the GPS Off task runs, it replaces the first task. The first task will be aborted and the second task (which will then reclear the GPSNEEDED variable) will run.

Step 1: Create a %GPSNEEDED global variable

Step 2: Create a GPS On task with the following actions:

Variable Set - set %GPSNEEDED to 1

Secure Settings (under plugins, secure settings, system plus actions) - GPS enabled

Step 3: Create a GPS Off task with the following actions

Variable Clear - clear variable %GPSNEEDED

Wait 3 minutes

Secure Settings - GPS disabled IF %GPSNEEDED is not set

Update Step 3B: Change the Collision Hanling properties of the GPS Off Task

Open the GPS Off task

Click on the settings icon in the lower right

Change the Collision Handling to Abort Existing Task

Step 4: Create an Auto GPS Profile/Scene:

Create an Application scene and select all of your applications that you want to use with GPS

Set the entry task to GPS On

Set the Exit Task to GPS Off

I didn't look into this one yet since I am using these profiles on my Note 3 (with root) and have a different task that sets my wifi on and off based on cell towers (still buggy for me). On my Note 10.1 I don't have root.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] chris_khho:
Hi friends,

After almost half a year using this O2 Exec, I found it's really good and met all my needs. However, there is still problem with the insufficient program memory even though I used the "closed" functions by pocket plus and clean the device from time to time by memaid. I also use the clearnotification.

Is it possible to adjust the memory allocation the same as the Magician or Himalaya? I know they are all different. If we can combine the extended rom of my Exec to the program memory, it may help a lot.

Cheers,
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kevino:
Doesnt work like that anymore. Try a search for persistant storage or the like. Now with WM5 you have storage memory (built-in flash) and RAM. This has been brought up many times.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] krati:
Know how this works. But, one day I playing with my O2 Exec, landed in the Memory applet. I suddenly had an image on the PPC, which had a slider to allocate memory . The image was merged with the background. But, my PPC had freezed.

Wish I had the presence of mind to click a photograph , before I did a soft reset.

Food for thought, maybe there is something in there, not known to us.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] PReDiToR:
I think maybe the freeze was because you crashed your machine showing that slider.

I have seen someone post on here about seeing it, and the fact that MS recycled the memory screen from WM2003SE and hid that part.

You're never going to be able to change Flash into RAM, they are (three) distinct chips and used separately by the OS.

The only way you could do it is to write a virtual memory driver the same way that WinXP and other desktop OSs use paging files on the hard drive to simulate RAM. Slow, lots of overheads, no advantage whatsoever on the Universal.

So the solution to your problem may be the same as mine:

I wrote off to a company that does electronics work and asked them if they can fit another couple of RAM chips to my device. This page says that there is room for two more (another 64MB?) RAM chips on the mainboard if you can BGA solder. Still waiting on a reply.

A 128MB Uni would kick the backside out of all other handhelds. Oh, and USB host, but that is a whole world of work that nobody has tried yet. Damn you HTC!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kevino:
Of course you realise that the more RAM you have the worse the battery life will be.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xenon_art:
I'm also thinking to put more chip into the free space but not sure that we need to do anything with the OS to run on 128MB hardware.

Can we just put more chip on it? I want to try
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phsnake:
If I remember, Asukal or Mwang(mwang - sorry if I misspelled Ur nick) already tried to add more ram chips, but wothout any effect - no raam increase - unfortunately for us

I find the dot view case interesting, but just not sure it's for me. I'm currently using an "Urban Armor Gear" case for my m7 and looking at cases for the T-Mobile m8 that I'm going to get. The uag is the best case I've ever used, but the tech nerd in me wants to try the newest and coolest. The dot view case almost seams samsung gimmicky to me. Opinions?
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
The dot view is cool but to me, that is it.

Many have complained that it does not fold back flat so you either have to push really hard or it is springy and impossible to type on. Is it cool, yes, but for me it's form over function.
[One (M8) Accessories] Crazypinoy9:
ive had it for two days now and i havent had any problems typing with the front folded over. its actually a pretty great case
[One (M8) Accessories] vorter:
Honestly it's really annoying to use and I prefer a flapless case but the dots are cool.

I'll most likely return/sell it.
[One (M8) Accessories] cruckus:
I like it I've used it since the second day I had the phone and the way it looks is beast. I'm used to flap cases since my s3 so they aren't new to me I've gotten used to them but the way this one feels is so much better then those so it just depends on the person

[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
Well, I tried really hard to like the Dot View case the past couple of days and it's going to Verizon. The novelty wore off. It didn't hold the phone as well I want it to. One drop and I can see the phone flying out of the case sliding down the floor *shudder*. The lint was driving me nuts and so was the flap. I'm going back to the Otterbox Commuter until Spigen ships the Slim Armor.
[One (M8) Accessories] Mike02z:
I agree. Used UAG on my SGN, SIII, M7 and finally broke down and spent the 35 bucks for the black UAG after trying about 6 other cases.

I just don't like flip cases for my phone. I also think the dots will get full of dust dirt over time. As was said, there was no way to type with one hand with the Dot View. The back was too "springy" when folded back. Maybe that will break in over time but was just not for me. It is pretty cool looking though.
[One (M8) Accessories] vorter:
Went ahead and returned it.

Impossible to use one handed and even was hard to use with two hands because of how springy the flap was.

It didn't seem like it would protect it well either. The back was cheap plastic and the sides were exposed.

The dot feature is fun but burns some battery and most features didn't even work (swipe down to voice call and some icons).

Not worth the $35 I spent on it and definitely not the $50 it retails for.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
I agree with everything you said. BTW, swipe down to voice call is a setting in Motion Gestures that has to be checked. I thought it wasn't working either until I found that setting.
[One (M8) Accessories] faded03cobra:
I have mine checked and it still doesn't work. As soon as I swipe down the voice command come on then immediately goes to weather.
[One (M8) Accessories] cardinalryan:
I consider the case unusable. At least it is unusable in a practical sense...I gave mine 24 hours and decided it was a no go. The M8 is flat out stunning...dot case, not so much.
[One (M8) Accessories] TNS201:
I would like it but not getting it because it would not offer enough protection IMO looks cheap too.
