After reading more about that DroidLife, they seem very pro Samsung #1, and then Nexus devices #2, and anything else just sucks. Also one of the reviewers is known to be an HTC hater, per the comment section of regulars on that site.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankly1985:
Clearly they haven't used the M8 everyone I know is getting 4-5+ hours screen time.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
The reviewer is flat out lying and a tool. Every other review says it's good and we all know it's good from owning and using one.

This was after my 3rd full charge/discharge cycle. 6 days on just reg power saver and light use.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kirdroid:
It's all subjective... I get some 3 to 3.5 hours screen on time with auto brightness. I also have lots of apps background syncing and waking up the phone constantly. So it all depends on how you set up your phone, number of apps, usage criteria. So good battery life for one person may not be the same to other.

So no point to argue on battery life good or bad.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Correct.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
Good point, but for me 3h to 3.5h On Screen time would be extremely disappointing. I use my phone a ton during the workday, and realize I need at least 5h On screen time minimum, perfect for me is more like 6h On Screen time. I need a phone to last a full solid day, from like 6:00am to 10:00pm.

Lol, whoever wrote that review is taking out their ringpiece. I've had my m7 for 8 months and now my m8 for 2 weeks and the battery life is tons better.I don't have to carry a battery bank in my pocket anymore. When I take my phone of charge and stick it in my pocket it will stay on 100% for least 2 hours if I don't use it.my m7 would drop down to 94% in that time. Don't listen to stupid reviews like that. He is probably an Apple lover who is gutted that his once awesome device is now being overshadowed by an android phone AGAIN.

Depends on how you use the device. Anandtech and other sites show heavy use in weak signal areas can drain any device.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shudder123:
how much more battery are you getting? I'm not the N5 right now and debating on getting the M8.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnlnvlslblE:
I'm rocking both the n5 and m8 right now, and this is totally a subjective statement without any real numbers, but I find myself plugging in the n5 a lot more than the m8. I am using the m8 more now because I like it more and the n5 still drains away just sitting there. The m8 is on verizon and the n5 is on tmobile, both have good reception in the area. I feel like I could comfortably use the m8 for 2 days and 1 night until I would want to put it on the charger. I'd estimate that I use about 2-3 hours screen time, 1-2 hours talk time and <1 hour navigation per day. Just my opinion based on real world observations, I'm not really interested in detailed usage tracking or anything like that. It works great and I'm going to keep the m8 and ditch the n5 when the month is up.

I'm getting battery life similar to the DroidLife review (ie not anything special) - but I'm gonna keep at it, making sure my setup is efficient and tweaking the phone. A factory reset might help I guess.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
I upgraded from Nexus 5 mainly for better battery life and SD card. I normally wouldn't update from an OEM phone but since this was released also GPE I figured why not. I am getting noticeably better battery life from this compared to Nexus 5. I am also using GPE as I think sense is ugly and the settings are unintuitive. So I don't have the power saving mode and truly optimized ROM.

It's no where near what I was getting with the phablets but still I believe more than sufficient. Glad I made the purchase worth adding $26 to my bill which is OK downgraded my data which is no issue with sd card support

The battery on the m8 is not bad and is not great either. When I asked Lisa from mobiletechreview she said it's as good as a the LG g2. Well I can tell you for a fact that it's not. The battery on the m8 drains much quicker and I own both phones. For 12 hour usage I will get 4:30 hours of screen time. On the G2 it would be close to 5:30- 6 hours of screen time.

I had my Verizon Galaxy S4 rooted. I am looking to turn my phone in today for the Note 3. I went into SU and checked I wanted to unroot my phone. My phone is unrooted now, but I can't get the Custom Lock that appears when you first boot the phone. I can't upgrade the phone either. I did a hard reset and that didn't work. I tried everything, and I can't get rid of that Custom Lock that appears, and I am afraid that I won't be able to turn my phone it. Can anyone help me?

To remove the "Custom" flag, you've got to return the phone to stock. If you haven't done anything but rooted it, then run the "unroot" script in the Saferoot thread (which means you'll need to re-root, unfortunately). After a reboot, the custom flag will reset.

However, many people have reported that having Custom hasn't caused them to have warranty claims denied.
[Shield Q&A] Cyborg_0tacon:
Hi folks,

I'm wondering what would the procedure be to update my rooted nvidia shield when the new update 72 gets rolled out? Would i need to set my Shield back to stock (unroot it) in order to get the update? or is it alright to update my shield while rooted? if so, will i lose root?

Sorry for the noob question, i looked around the internet to see if there was anything similar to my question but could not find any. So if this question has been brought up before, then i apologize.

Thank you.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
No need to unroot. You will have to reapply root (not unlocking) after the update though.
[Shield Q&A] Cyborg_0tacon:
Thank you very much Gnurou, I appreciate it. :)
[Shield Q&A] eksasol:
I was afraid to root my Shield because it may softbrick or have issues with the updates. This is the case with Nexus and Moto phones, so I'm assuming its okay to root and receive OTA updates for the Shield?
[Shield Q&A] CDeviant:
Yes.

All you need to do to have a smooth update process is have the stock recovery installed. That's it.

Anything else (like root) is handled later by the user, and doesn't interfere with the update process.

Basically the OTA can't communicate the with Shield the way it wants too because CWM doesn't operate the same way as the stock recovery.

After preforming the update, just flash the CWM img in fastboot, flash the SuperSU zip in CWM, then reboot and install busybox from the playstore. Very simply. All of those can be found by just searching "Clockwork Recovery Nvidia Shield" "SuperSu Download" and "BusyBox apk"

One of the older Wisbars, or GSPocket Magic are good alternatives.

CE 5.2 not supported ?!?

Hello everyone,

I have CE 5.2 (in case you don't know what this is, it's called popularly Windows Mobile 6 or WM6). But the tools I see here don't all work on 5.2 ... and the ones that don't work can be fully skinned, and that's what I want! :confused:

So: I want something FREEWARE (commercial is not an option for me... :mad: ) that can be fully skinned, like WisBar Advance (it's commercial, so no way), or like IcBar.

IcBar could be good, but it is not working on WM6. :mad:

BTW: Not all ones for WM5 (CE 5.0) work with WM6! ( :eek: ) And as far as I know, the ones for PPC2003SE or lower really don't work! (example: WisBar Advance 1.3.3.2 for PPC2003 worked at 1 frame/year)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
You'll have to read and learn :) that's the best solution imho. It seems that this snapshot is a mix of UCCW + Zooper Widget + an icon pack. Bunchs of tutorials & templates are available on XDA for UCCW and Zooper.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmytim:
The launcher is likely Nova or Apex and there is an icon pack applied however it would be nearly impossible to tell you which icon pack it is without asking the phone's owner or scouring the Playstore or XDA or elsewhere for hours and hours.

That vertical calendar widget is defintely from Zooper Widget. You can download the app for free in the Playstore. The vertical calendar comes with it and it is called UpCalendar. Once Zooper is installed add a 2x4 widget to your screen and choose that UpCalendar widget

That clock widget may be Zooper as well but I agree with Primokorn that it may be UCCW. You'll have to search for it. Another option for a clock is to use the Playstore App called Zooper Widget Gallery. It will show you a lot of other clocks that are really nice as well.

Also, there is a really cool website called My Color Screen that has beautiful home screens and phone themes and they have step by step tutorials telling you exactly what to download and how to configure the widgets, icon packs, launchers, etc. I highly recommend checking the site out and trying out some of the themes so you can get an idea of how to customize your phone and make it look pretty :silly:

Those are just app updates Chris, you'd have to check the apps logs to see whats new.

For like my first few weeks of building I was using a vm and kept running into errors related to 'hardware'. Got really frustrated with that so I made a partition with elementary OS Luna which is based off Ubuntu 12.04.

I was having all the qcom errors in the beginning of trying to build it. First off did you sync aospa's main branch for nexus devices, or aospa legacy? And then which msm8960-common are you using? I accidentally have both cm's and aospa's in my device tree and them every time I build I manually edit cm's out.

Sounds like you got it figured out for the most part but you're about at the stage where stuff gets frustrating. Unless you feel uncomfortable, you should pm via hangouts, I sent you a message with my email.
