[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplyazn04:
Hi,

I see systemui is at the top of the list in all your screens. Are you using "pocket mode" or lockscreen notifications? I had the same issue on Mahdi rom and it went away when i disabled "pocket mode"

Are you running a custom kernel?

Some general battery saving tips are :

-Lower your brightness (i have mine set at 20%)

-Download "Wakelock Detector" and "Greenify" from playstore. These 2 apps will solve any wakelock problems.

-Turn Google Location Reporting and Location History off.

Sometimes a simple reboot does wonder for your phone.

Everybody has their own best combo of ROM + kernel so it will be up to you to find what works for you.

I'm currently running Mahdi's ROM + Elementalx and get 4 hours of screen time, 4 hours of music playback (from SD card) and 20+ hours of standby time
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towelie90:
Hi, yes I'm using pocket mode. Too bad that it's drains this much battery! I love this feature
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
to me it looks as you having terrible wifi. and since you left the wifi on, your terrible signal drained the battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplyazn04:
Try turning off the feature for a day and see if it improves your battery life any.

I'm also a big fan of the pocket mode feature and s2w/dt2w features because i hate reaching for the power button but it killed my battery.

What i can suggest to you is to try an app called Gravity Screen by one of our very own xda developer. Somehow, he managed to get the turn screen on/off via proximity sensor to barely drain any battery. I use this app combined with Dynamic Notifications and every time i take my phone out of my pocket, i get notifications like the Moto X and screen on without power button.

Best of luck!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boringest:
flash back to stock & change tamper flag, and get an exchange. I found out that the earlier models have some with batt and radio problems
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Towelie90:
Confirmed. Pocket Mode killed my battery, too. Since I deactivated it, my battery life is acceptable.

I'll give it a try! Thank you very much for your detailed help! :)

Dear fellow tablet z users,

since one of the last updates, any other user than the owner/first user isn't able to get location in google maps (or any other app) with wifi and without gps.

Of course all location services are enabled, of course google apps are allowed to use location.

Does anyone experiecend the same issue? Can someone maybe check this with his tablet?

Best regards

Hi everyone,

the police in my little city is investigating a murder (which is here a real rarity) and i don't know how they come to me and invite me to answer qeustions as a witness but anyway they have also noted down the IMEI code of my phone o.O

So now i am interested in why they did that, and what can they all do with my imei code, track me, hear my phone calls etc ?

Also is there a way i could change the imei because i don't feel comfortable now :S
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osmanovea:
Possibly, but not very easy

First is illegal

at the same time if someone is following you, you will need to change the sim card

on the other hand, the police are - they will still find a way to reach you

LoL

I am 23 years old, i am studying i have no police records and everyone who knows me knows is laughing about that i was questioned about that case because everyone knows that it is ridiculous that i have anything in common with that :D

I just feel irritated because i have no clue why they questioned me and i was interested in knowing for what exactly they need my imei code, i have no problem with it that they trace me or hear my phone calls just because i have nothing to hide, but it is really uncomfortable when you know that someone takes your privacy ...

If i had something to hide, would i post with my account where all my info is? :D

Model: D802 running stock 4.4.2

Tried installing TWRP to flash Cyanogenmod, but whenever i try to boot into recovery i get

"Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify"

and then the screen goes black. From here i cant do anything but holding down power and volume down to boot regularly without any problems.

I am new to android, rooting, custom ROMS and everything, and I dont really know what i have done, how bad it is or if it can be fixed. I just wanted to install Cyanogenmod, and I messed something up while following a tutorial on theunlockr(.)com/

If anyone could elaborate on what i have done and if it could be fixed, that would be appreciated!

Sorry if this is one of the regular noob questions, I couldnt find anything on it for my device, and after what just happened i dont dare to mess around anymore without consulting anyone!

Hi everyone,

I am waiting for my S5 to come within a few days and in the meantime I'm browsing around in a search for a car mount. I came across this one on amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...sim_cps_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0A24M5KGJ6GW57GE14ZT

It says it's cradle-less, and there it holds on a magnet. I have never used this type of mounts before, so I am a bit concerned about magnets affecting the phone's performance.... Any insight (or suggestions) are greatly appreciated.

Also, I saw another one like that, but there is a metal insert that has to be put under the back cover. Do you think it will affect the water/dust seal?

Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
Wrong link?

I have this one http://www.amazon.com/iMagnet-Cradl...&qid=1397234384&sr=1-1&keywords=imagnet+mount

...and i freaking love it for the note 2. Magnet is the only way i can go for car mounts now. If you don't care about wireless charging, the metal plate has no impact (in my experience) on the phone and is thin enough to sit right between the battery cover and the battery, at least on the note 2. I'm actively investigating options for a magnet mount with the S5, although i need wireless charging and the two don't get along (can't have metal between the phone's coil and the charging pad).
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] e_town:
I have this one and I'll never buy anything different. Super small, super strong, and it looks sharp.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Lohmatiy:
Thank you for the reply. It helps.

Yes, my bad - the link was to the Cradle version. You had to click on "snap" rectangle on the page. My mistake. And that's what I ordered for now... (snap version)

Also, i came over this thing in another thread and it seems to be exactly what we are looking for. the only problem - it IS pricey) and it won't ship until end of May at least. (wireless charger and magnet mount at the same time).

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Lohmatiy:
Thank you. I saw this one on Amazon today. Is it glued on to the dashboard? Can you detach it? I don't want any glue leftovers in a leased car...)
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] big_bake:
I have the imagnet. Used for my s3 between the phone and uag case. I love quick access to the phone on and off the mount. I just got my s5 but won't be in my truck til Monday to test it, but I don't foresee any problems.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] followinginsanity:
I thought about a magnet mount for a while.

Car mounts should be simple, and quick. But most require you to either use 2 hands, and some 2 step process. Or you have to buy one that works quickly, but only without a case.

Then I found this DashCrab Duet

Sticks like glue, and easy one handed operation. The price is more than those cheap'o cradles, but much less than the high end ones. I've never been happier with a car mount.

Just reporting back on the imagnet mount with my s5. Works just like it did with my s3. Slid the little piece of metal between the cover and phone and it pops right on. Should note that the imagnet has one of those awesome suction cups that doesn't fail. Mine has been stuck on my dash since I bought it and never came off even through temperature swings. GPS isn't affected either.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
Unfortunately the air dock is probably a non-starter for the S5:

How does the micro suction foam work?

The micro suction foam face is pretty cool. Imagine a whole bunch of tiny little suction cups. That's what we have used to hold phones to the Air Dock. Full size suction cups need a smooth glossy surface to stick to. Similarly the micro suction foam needs a smooth glossy phone to hold onto.Any phone with a glossy back will stick great to the micro suction foam. If your phone isn't glossy on the back, then it's just a simple matter of putting it in a case that is smooth and glossy.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ignite023:
That's an outdated description. The suction is backed by magnets:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
i kinda have a thing for magnets. I'm sitting here with my S5 and an N52 neodymium magnet that will hold 6.5 lbs. There is not a place on the back of the S5 that it will stick strong enough to resist a light shake of the device. He mentions the N5 and N7 so it may work with those devices (since they were orignially designed to work with the official nexus magnetic Qi charger) but i do not see any way for this work with the S5. :(
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ignite023:
I used to use the iMagnet mount in my car and it came with a really thin circular piece of metal that was meant to be stuck on the outside of your phone's back cover. I took it and instead stuck it to the inside of the back cover - it holds extremely well. I used it on the S4 and now the S5. If you use a case then you can just stick it on the back cover between the case and the phone. I don't use a case and didn't want that to take away from the devices appeal.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] tdrussell:
Oh definitely, i have an iMagnet mount as well. The tricky part is that you can't put ferrous metals inside an induction field. Not only will it disrupt the induction field, they get hot. So, in order to incorporate both magnets and inductive charging into a solution, you need to have the magnets placed outside the plane of the induction field on the Z axis or, or around the outside of the field in the Y axis (assuming induction field is on the Z plane).

At one point i decided if i had to choose between iMagnet and Qi, i picked Qi. Then i decided i wanted both - so i made my own mount using small neodymium magnets at the 4 corners of the backplate of my note 2 and cannibalized an old ball-socket car mount, made a new plate, and adhered 4 matching magnet's to a flat plate to mate the phone to. So you CAN have your cake and eat it too, the implementation is just a little tricky.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Ignite023:
Ah ok, I wasn't aware of that. Although, to be honest - I used to let my GS4 charge all of the time with no issues.

Easy init.d support for Stock ROMs

Disclaimer:

Credits belong to original authors. I'm sharing this intending that others might benefit. This worked for me without problems, but I'm not responsible for any unwanted effects others might experience. Keep a CWM backup just in case.

What is this?

This is an easy method to add init.d support to our stock ROMs running on stock kernels. Then, scripts placed in /system/etc/init.d/ folder will be executed automatically at boot.

Requirements:

1.Rooted phone.

2.Root explorer or similar app.

3.Busybox installed.

check:

Type "busybox run-parts" (without quotes) in a terminal emulator and press enter. If you get an output similar to what's shown below you're all set. It means that busybox is installed and the command is present. (It's needed for the MOD).

1|u0_a188@C5303:/ $ busybox run-parts
BusyBox v1.20.2-jb static (2012-11-25 17:47 +0100) multi-call binary.

Usage: run-parts [-t] [-l] [-a ARG] [-u MASK] DIRECTORY

Run a bunch of scripts in DIRECTORY

-t Print what would be run, but don't actually run anything
-a ARG Pass ARG as argument for every program
-u MASK Set the umask to MASK before running every program
-l Print names of all matching files even if they are not executable

1|u0_a188@C5303:/ $

If busybox not installed, install it from Google play.

How to:

1) Open root explorer, go to /system/etc/ folder.

2) Mount /system as R/W by pressing the button at upper right corner.

3) Open init.qcom.post_boot.sh file for editing. (Long-press> Open in Text Editor)

4) Add this line to the bottom end of that file.

busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d/

**Add an empty line after that. It's very important**

​

5) Save the file. (You can delete the .bak file that Root explorer creates).

Then..

6) Create 'init.d' folder in /system/etc/ if not already present.

7) Change it's permissions to 755/rwxr-xr-x (Long-press> permissions)

That's it!

Testing:

To see whether it works, extract the test script (from attachment) to init.d folder, change script's permissions to 755/rwxr-xr-x and reboot the phone. You should see a file called Test.log in /data/ with a message saying that it's working.

(Tested on Android 4.3 (.201). Should work in others.)

How it works:

It's quite obvious. The init.qcom.post_boot.sh is one of the scripts that runs at boot, which in turn executes the busybox command to execute the scripts in init.d folder. Simple!

2) [MENTION=2793317]smokin1337[/MENTION] and original thread here.

Note:

Following the first tutorial broke my root. Second method executed only the first script in the list. So, I combined the needed parts of two guides! :D

Alternative methods:

#'Universal init.d' app from Google play would also execute init.d scripts, but at the app level.

#'SManager' is another app that can execute scripts at boot.

There maybe other methods...

You may point out any shortcomings/improvements.

Y not add the runparts command in install-recovery.sh file?
[Xperia SP General] mrhnet:
Yes, was thinking like that. Wanted to know whether any other post_boot script is there in 4.1.2
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
No needed if everyone uses supersu then there will be a file called install-recovery.sh but don't add runparts command in it make another file named install-recovery-2.sh(Only for supersu users) and add the runparts command. Our init.rc makes install-recovery.sh to start on boot
[Xperia SP General] mrhnet:
Thanks for the tip. Adding runparts to the second file would prevent breaking init.d even if SuperSU update is flashed again. Good idea!
[Xperia SP General] Siddhesh:
Yes but its only for SuperSU users if someone using Superuser from koush then this trick will not work so u have to edit the original install-recovery.sh in that situation and please test this trick coz on my previous Xperia phones Wt19i and arcs only first script is executed never used scripts on XSP
[Xperia SP General] Sandro8771:
This the situation. Xperia Arc on C-rom KK ver 5.6 with nAa ver 3.4...

There is already a init.d file in system/etc.

Upon viewing the file install-recovery.sh there is a directive to create another install-recovery.2sh - i.e. as pix below:

Using SuperSU ver 1.94

So I will try this and report.
[Xperia SP General] mohammed fayed:
Thanks for the post.. I'm going to try your method for adding init.d support but I have a question :

I found the "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" script in the root directory not "system/etc" nor "system/" is that an issue? should I edit it with no concerns? or should i edit the "install-recovery.sh" found in "system/etc/" ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FarhanChowChow:
Hey guys, my first post on XDA. Alright so straight to the point. My Galaxy Nexus (maguro) has been stuck in boot loop for the past day, and no matter what I've tried, can't seem to fix it.

I have CWM, and I've tried factory resetting through it, I've tried wiping the cache,dalvik cache, data, system and cache partition but I can't seem to get out of the loop, in fact it doesn't seem to delete any data in the first place, I'm still stuck with my notifications popping up every time I get onto the home screen for those rare few seconds.

In the few seconds that I do get available on my home screen, if I try to factory reset the normal way through the system setting, my phone reboots without resetting anything.

So yeah, I'm at a total loss, the last time I had a boot loop a simple factory reset did the trick, but this time literally just don't know what to do.

My phones a Galaxy Nexus, running Paranoid Android 4.4.3 beta 4.0 I believe, and my CWM is 6.0.3 I think

So any of you guys have any suggestions? :(

EDIT 1: Forgot to mention, every time I try to connect it to my laptop via USB, phone reboots. I don't know how much info this offers, but I'm trying to be as thorough as possible.

I recently upgraded my SM-N9005 to 4.4.x (tried several ROMs: stock 4-in-one & 5-in-one, CM11 & Omega v12) however they all show unknown baseband & null IMEI number. Flashing 4.4.x modems (ZHUENB5 & ZHUENC2) again did not help. After many tries I found that flashing a 4.3 modem (both XXUBMI5 & ZHUDMK1 work) on top of a stock 4.4.x rom solved my problem.

But why can't my phone use a 4.4.x modem? Does anyone have similar issues or have some clues to share? Thanks in advance!
