[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Vegoenix:
So I recently flashed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2492222 and the stock keyboard it comes with is KILLING my battery. Simply having a texting convo with a friend for 30 minutes drained the battery by more than 25%. Wifi and 3G were off.

I recently calibrated my battery as well, went through 4 power cycles, and my brightness is never allowed to go higher than 30%. Checking Battery Lite, the keyboard was responsible for 20% of the battery loss, and everything else was less than 5, most items less than .6%. It's like this whether I press buttons or us the Swipe function (an ability I am LOVING btw), and I have input sounds/vibrate turned off because it's annoying.

Does anyone know why this is draining my battery so much? Does anyone else have experience with a keyboard draining their battery massively after flashing a custom ROM? I checked another battery drain identifier, and it said the display was responsible for 90% of the battery drain, though I'm assuming that means Brightness+Screen being on+Keyboard, because the keyboard wasn't listed at all on that particular app (AIO Tbox).

Any help, tips, guidance, info would be appreciated, and I can provide more info :)

I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration to recalibrate the battery, now I'm all good.

Hello dear XDA Community,

- Xperia Z Ultra

- 4.4.2

- 14.3.A.0.681

- C6833

I have a big problem with understanding all of this tutorials. I read everything about rooting and unlocking the Bootloader.

I understood that I need to backup my TA Partition for Unlocking my Bootloader so I can continue to use Sony technology.

Requirements ? Root. Okay that was my first problem. So i looked up how to root my phone and what do i need ? A phone with a unlocked bootloader. great! Sure you can say "look at this topic and carefully read" but I really did that and I am really helpless. Thanks for any help!

What did I read ?

When your bootloader is unlocked, you can never use X-Reality and any other item which requires the DRM in the Trim Area partition,

Restoring the TA partition without relocking the bootloader will not result in the return of X-Reality and such even if you are using a Sony ROM. This situation appears to have changed since the release of 4.4.

Backing up the TA partition is only good for relocking the bootloader on a Stock ROM (any custom AOSP, CM, AOSPA etc will fail to boot on a locked bootloader), for personal choice or returning the phone under warranty.

You can unlock the bootloader when not rooted, in fact you don't do it with the phone running normally anyway so root or not rooted, it does not matter in that sense.

You don't need to unlock the bootloader to root, if you are willing to re-set up your phone again. What you need to do is downgrade to 4.2, which is rootable, root, install recovery and flash the 681 pre-rooted zip, and use flashtool to flash the associated ftf file to get rooted on 681.

Follow the instructions in Lord Manhattan's thread that you linked to,in order to downgrade and install a recovery, then visit the following link to get the zip & ftf to re-up to 4.4 (681). You most likely will lose cellular connectivity whilst you are downgraded (there is a way around this, but as you are only going down to 4.2 to get a recovery, maintaining your IMEI for that short period of time is just a waste of effort), but it will return when you are back on 681 (4.4).

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
- Downgrade to 532

- Root it using Bin4ry's tool

- Backup the TA partition

- Unlock bootloader

- Either update to 681 again and take it from there or flash a kernel with recovery/TWRP and flash a pre-rooted 681. It's easy to root 681, so whatever floats your boat.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coolmingli:
Don't mean to hijack this topic but I don't want to open another thread,

if I back up the TA partition, unlock bootloader, root the phone, then relock bootloader, then restore TA partition to bring back the xreality,

I am not going to install custom recovery and Roms.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tr0teK:
Thanks for the Informations. I will give it a try the next days and report you if it worked.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Technically it'll work, but i have never done it before. Everything should go smoothly until you're going to re-lock the bootloader. You can't re-lock it on a custom kernel, and you'll be on a custom kernel once you flash Jackie's kernel with recovery, so you'll have to flash a complete stock kernel, then restore the TA partition with the TA Backup Tool, which will also automatically re-lock the bootloader. You should in theory end up with a complete stock ROM with root. That's on paper.

Worst case scenario? If you re-lock the bootloader while you're on a custom kernel, it'll explode it won't power on at all, and all you'll get is a blinking red LED and death. To fix this, just unlock the bootloader in Flashtool again and you're back to start again. It's not dangerous, but it's nerve wrecking to see it there, just blinking without any sign of life. I almost crapped my pants the first time i experienced it, and had no clue what was happening or what to do.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] coolmingli:
Thanks for the reply, I think I will ditch rooting from this phone, too much troubles, I don't understand why Sony put the DRM key in a trim partition, perhaps they don't want us to root the phone after all.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] tr0teK:
I did it guys. It worked!

My steps:

- Downgraded to 4.2.2 with Flashtool (.532)

- Rooted with Bin4ry's tool

- Installed CWM and TWRP Dual Recovery for Xperia Z locked Bootloader by krabappe12548

- Flashed to 4.4.2[rooted] (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2687848)

Now I have the newest version with Root Access. Everything works great :)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
If you are only downgrading to flash the current rooted firmware, you don't even need to root 532, as [nut]'s dual recovery can be installed by the same method that bin4ry's root is delivered, just install the recovery, flash the zip, flash the ftf and away you go ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] springs1:
hi all,

i've got a nexus 5 thats connected to my car via bluetooth. i've noticed that its not sending full control of music over to the headunit.

The nexus has AOKP installed onto it and before another ROM which did the same thing.

My nexus 7 which is on a rooted stock rom works just fine and gives full control over to the head unit.

Is this a aftermarket rom issue or something else?

if it helps both devices were using google music to play

At 4% battery right now writing this post and I've had 3 hrs 20 minutes of screen time in addition to using play music for 1 hour at the gym, YouTube videos, Web browsing, texting and the works and the battery is clutch. Screen is miles better than the AMOLED on the s4 I just switched from. Shame on me for switching away from HTC for my last phone. Very pleased.

Oh and Sense 6 has made huge leaps from sense 4 the last time I owned HTC. Software is well done, buttery smooth, and has great features that I have always wanted added to sense.

I ordered mine yesterday AT&T is telling me that I should be getting it on the 3rd. I am also coming from Nexus 5. I have had a lot of HTC phones like the Aria, Inspire, the Vivid, and the ONE X. I left Vivid and went to the S2 skyrocket cause there was something about the Vivid that I cant remember that I didn't like, then when the One X came out I had it for a little bit and I didn't like the direction they were going so I went to the S3. I have had a lot of phones in the last 5 years so I hope HTC don't let me down with this ONE. I'm gonna keep ahold of my Nexus 5 tho..

Yep. Went from SGS2 to N5 to S5 returned 2 weeks later for M8. Besides the camera, I'm super stoked on this phone.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] twiggums:
It is to me. it's got enough heft that it doesn't want to fall out of my hand, but still manageable one handed. maybe it's just the case, but when i try to use the wife's S5 one handed, it feels too top heavy and light (i know, direct contradiction :-p ) that it feels like it wants to fall out of my hand. I've never used with slippery/sweaty hands, so i can't comment on how slippery it might be. But it certainly feels good in my hand!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cksdayoff:
just got the silver version of the phone at the att store. it is awesome. the phone feels great in the hand and it doesn't feel like it'll slip from my grasp (some complaints with the gun metal grey version). The speakers are so legit, it really is unbelievable. Like a lot of m8 users on here, My phone had some scuff marks on the top where it attaches to the speaker shell. wasn't too happy about it and the volume rocker button is a little loose. these are things i can deal with though as im guessing this is what happens when a company tries to go 90% aluminum with their phone.

beautiful phone, especially in silver. but i need a case for this asap. I'm coming from a Galaxy S2, had it for 3 years (bought it brand new and unlocked in the summer of 2011) and i felt no need to replace it even when the GS3 and GS4 came out. GS2 was still very much useable even in 2014, until I cracked the screen. Of course I decided long an hard between the GS5, M8 and the iphone 5s, but I ultimately went with the M8, in silver. And I'm so glad I did.

btw, my first HTC phone was the original Hero back in 2009. The coolest looking phone I've owned...till now.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] tee00max:
Yeah this phone is a complete beast! I just recently switched over from Verizon to AT&T and gave the M8 a try during the switch. While I am a heavy phone person, I am coming from the Note 3 on Verizon which I think is still one of the best phones out to this day. I found myself really hot considering the S5. I think it's a girly phone and I just can't get with the locked bootloaders anymore on Sammy products. The build quality is superb with the M8 and I'm not even going to talk about the front facing speakers! Great choice and definitely one of the best phones already that I have had. Given that, a phone I had back the in the day was one of the best phone I have ever had also, the HTC Incredible!

I cant wait to get my M8. Mistakenly bought the gs5 and preordered it. I have gone through hell to return and get my m8. The store said they would charge me $35 restocking if I swapped for m8.

Hi All,

This is a partial port attempt of latest ubuntu touch 14.04 on our d2att (http://www.ubuntu.com/phone).

Because this port is not fully completed, I prefered to release a multiboot version (

multiboot v2.11 needed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2684052 ).

If you are not familiar wtih multiboot, please check how to use it before testing this rom ( or watch videos examples here : http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCefO8F4YX6qMQsqpBHTqTqQ)

When you install this ROM with multiboot, you will have to choose img format only and at least 2.5G for data parition.

Features ( tested only on my Bell carrier d2att ) :

Graphics :	OK

Cellular Radio :	OK

Wireless network	OK

Touch	OK

Suspend/Resume	OK

Rotation :	OK

Phone	OK

Audio	OK

Boot process :	~OK

Camera OK (since v0.12 )

Battery : ~OK ( but value printed is 1/3 of the real one )

volumes buttons : OK

GPS : very partial ( position tracking only working with test_gps command line )

Bluetooth : unknown ( but started ) - has to be tested with a headset

All others features are not working (not yet studied nor tested)

Important recommandations to install this ROM under multiboot :

img file only - install on

external sdcard

recommended

count ~30 mn to install an external sd ( ~15 mn to create rom and 15 mn to install rom )

80M for system,

2.5G

for data, 20M for cache

first reboot can take 2 minutes, be patient. After more than 2 minutes, press on/off button, it is possible that the phone is put in pause

cell can take 2 minutes to come UP.

sometimes boot does not work, the device reboot after timeout on main rom. Reboot to recovery and just try a second time. This happen especially if installed on internal sdcard, that's why I recommended an installation on external.

Note : did not find a reboot option : to reboot, I press ~3s power button until screen turns off, then release button and wait first vibration. At first vibration, usual technique to jump to recovery
