[Nexus 5 General] D.D.P.:
Not a myth for myself. I have monitored my battery health during a charge exceeding 100%. You are correct partially. Near 100% it does not stop, it simply "trickles". N5's have a reputation for overheating when charging, regardless of battery percentage. And leaving a device on a charger all night or during high usage is still not advised to do.
[Nexus 5 General] stuart0001:
If it was an issue and not a myth then they'd be warnings in the manuals. I've never seen such warnings.
[Nexus 5 General] samersh72:
Quoted:

To start: phones do have an automatic shutoff mechanism built in to prevent overcharging that might cause a potential fire hazard. If this is your concern, then rest at ease that the right charging hardware coupled with the right non-shady smartphone shouldn’t be a hazard to your person or property.

That aside, there are some compelling reasons to unplug your smartphone once it reaches 100% capacity. The reason for this is simple. As your phone runs throughout the night, it loses battery life. This causes the charging mechanism to kick in over and over again as measurable amounts of battery drain occurs during standby. Your phone checking email, receiving text messages, and various apps doing their updates can do a lot to your phone’s battery while you sleep.

Your battery may have a limited amount of charging cycles available to it throughout its life. Let’s say there are 1,000 cycles in your particular battery. If you charge 30+ microcharges (a fraction of a full charge) each night while you sleep, then you’re really eating away at your phone’s battery life. If, however, you only charge your phone when it needs it and make sure to unplug it after it hits 99-100%, then you’re only taking away one partial or full charge cycle each time you plug it in.

This doesn’t mean that your phone’s battery will degrade and die in one night, either. Like laptops, you can leave your phone plugged in almost all the time and it’s likely your battery will still last quite a while, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t at some level chipping away at its capacity or longevity by doing so. I leave my phones to charge overnight all the time, and it really doesn’t cause noticeable degradation to me. Does that mean it won’t over longer periods of time? Probably not for everyone.​

[Nexus 5 General] coolnow:
Nope, never experienced the high heat when charging on its own (only if i'm playing an intensive game or something, while charging) and trickle charging shouldn't affect your battery capacity as the faster, hotter charging is what reduces your capacity mainly.

Snappier

This is a good tip. To expand on this, I find that if you set Window animation scale and Transition animation scale both to 0.5 and set Animator duration scale to Off, it's the snappiest of any combination (while still having some animation). Try it for yourself, and you will find even less delay when launching an app!

USB OTG

Hi, any tips for USB OTG?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You just need to ask specifically what you're looking for!

if you want to flash via OTG then, put the zips in your flash drive, head over to recovery, connect via OTG Cable and then flash the files directly from the usb flash drive! :)
[Nexus 5 General] o.beren:
USB-OTG

I just want to connect usb flash drive to the phone. To copy some files.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Are you rooted? If so, then use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.stickmount.pro

If you aren't rooted, then install Total Commander and USB Stick plugin to transfer your files! :)

You can also use Nexus Media Importer for hassle free transfer on a non rooted device but it'll cost you few bucks! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.homeysoft.nexususb.importer
[Nexus 5 General] o.beren:
I've tried. Nothing happens. StickMount shows - The mount service is busy. Thats all.

Thanks for advice, but Nexus Media Importer can't play the videos from my usb. I found this one, little bit cheaper but i can watch videos with it

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Stickmount requires root.. Are you rooted?

Try Nexus media importer or total Commander/usb stick... They should work flawlessly.

[Nexus 5 General] o.beren:
Yes, my phone rooted. But stickmount doesn't works with my phone. Idk why. Nexus Media Importer doesn't plays videos. Tried Total Commander with usb stick plugin? the same- video doesnt starts. I found OTG Disk Explorer Pro, this app works great on my phone.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
That's really weird.. When I was non-rooted, I used Nexus Media Importer and Total Commander all the time for OTG purposes...

[Nexus 5 General] [AltaiR]:
Very helpful post.

But there are a few things I'd like to point out:

- Are you sure the accelerometre is used to detect brightness?

- Letting the battery discharge almost completely before charging is a bad idea. It would be true a couple of years ago with nickel based battery. But in the days of lithium-ion, this has the opposite effect. It will shorten your battery life. DO NOT let your phone discharge completely.

Don't believe me? Here's some reliable info: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/04/ask-ars-the-best-way-to-use-a-lithium-ion-battery-redux/
[Nexus 5 General] samersh72:
- who said that about accelerometer sensor :confused: Edit: a mistake, my bad, you are right, post edited.

- not to discharge completely , i said to almost (let say when it tell you to connect charger)and not completely. Dont let the phone turn off. Connecting the charger a lot, shorten the battery life.

Web is full of contradicting articles regarding lithium battery, best way is to try :D

Meenova

I have been using this Meenova usb device for over a yr now . Advantage is that it uses your SD card so you can use several different ones and larger sizes.

Lets face it, we all have those darn things from our other phones/devices so why not put them to use?? The meenova one even has small led to let you know when its connected/transfering. Yes it does use more juice that way but not so id notice.

I do have stickmount and there is an exposed app that works too.

Meenova, the original

Comes in colours too with handy keyring latch.

Does backing up your sdcard means backing up ur apps and data as well as your pictures, whatsapp chats, etc.?

If not what is the diffrence? I noticed it backed up soundcloud and several other apps in both of these methods.

If I will unlock my bootloader this is the data that it will erase?

Also, a question about nandroid, the nandroid basically backs up my rom, kernel, imei, and several other things right?

But if I'm on stock I have no need to back up my rom in case something goes wrong, right?

Because I can just flash the factory img and push those backups and that will restore everything? Or am I missing something?
[Nexus 5 General] samersh72:
-Backing up SD card will backup only your sdcard, (stuffs that you see in sdcard/0 or when you connect your phone to pc) and not app and their data.

The other command will backup apps and their data.

-If you unlock bootloader, apps and data and sdcard will be erased.

-It is more faster to restore your nandroid backup than flashing factory images if something goes wrong.
[Nexus 5 General] Cookies:3:
Thanks, but what is the difference between let's say the whatsapp folder in my sd card to the whatsapp related stuff in app and data?

Oh and btw, nandroid also backs up efs right? if I flash a factory image does it restore my efs as well?
[Nexus 5 General] samersh72:
Whatsap folder contain pics, video, .... .

If you uninstall whatsap and then reinstall it, it will ask you to agree and continue, put your phone number, restore conversation from whatsap folder in SD card, bla bla.....

But if you backup whatsap application with a command and then restore it, you will find directly your conversations without previous setup.

Some custom recovery has the option to backup efs partition.

Factory images do not contain efs partition, it is unique to each devicr
[Nexus 5 General] Cookies:3:
So what happens if for example my efs partition got wiped when something went wrong when I say unlocked my bootloader or installed my custom recovery?

It means my phone is a pretty paper weight?
[Nexus 5 General] samersh72:
It is not easy to corrupt efs partition.

Backup it manually (see op) or with a tool or app directly after rooting (Usually efs is corrupted when flashing wrong stuff for your device)

And save it in a safe place.

You can restore it any time if something goes wrong

I don't understand the "MD5 of ROM/kernel" part...

What is? And what do you mean with "convenient or not"?

Anyway, thanks, good thread!
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
MD5SUM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum

Checking the MD5 avoids bad flashs. If you have a good browser and reliable internet connection the MD5 is always correct (on my side at least).
[Nexus 5 General] Giolte_:
So... by what I have understand, it's better to control the md5 of the kernel after the flash and before the flash to see any change, right?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Primokorn:
Nope. Check the md5 checksum of the downloaded file BEFORE flashing it. Once it's flashed it's useless to check the md5.
[Nexus 5 General] Giolte_:
OK, I have understand, thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] mrsaya:
thanks for this great way to back up. i would like to know if the first back up will save my settings and app setting and data only basic things and when i restore it back to my phone then i will restore all functions i.e wallpaper, ringtones, etc.. and secondly the second backup for scared is not progressing, after the command it loads for a few seconds and give the following

flash-all.bat messages

HI all,

I don't know if this is the right place to write about my problem. It's about the messages appearing while flashing stock Lollipop through provided flash_all.bat file: it starts with the phrase "target reported max download size of 1073741824 bytes". I'm very sure that it's not the proper message and I'd like to know if something it's wrong in my Nexus 5. Does anybody can help me? I tried to flash the stock ROM on 2 different laptops and the message appears on both. I've tried with a fresh downloaded factory image from Google's developers page. Nothing it's changed. For more information, I've attached a print screen while executing flash_all.bat.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkFantasy6:
Hey guys.

i wanted to start compiling my own kernel from android source. Im very noob in compiling. Is it possible that i compile wrong and totally brick my device? or will it help to flash factory image? so the question: Can i kill my nexus 5 complete with compiling kernels for it? :)

So my question was how does it recognize that i want the nexus 5 source.

With this , right? :)

$ export ARCH=arm

$ export SUBARCH=arm

$ export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

$ cd omap

$ git checkout <commit_from_first_step>

$ make panda_defconfig

So replace panda with hammerhead and omap with msm???

I'm wondering how the second display is implemented - is the support built into WM5, or is it handled by a proprietary HTC app?

Would be great if we could display our own data on it - does anyone know if there is a standard API for controling secondary displays on WM5?
[HTC Startrek] Zone-MR:
Got it - partially. It is possible to manipulate the framebuffer directly. Still need to figure out if there's an elegant way not to conflict with HTCs own Subdisplay service.

Update: Looks like the magic happens in SubDisplay.dll

Hi Zone-MR,

I'm not able to go so deep, but it may be of some help knowing that there is another user which may help:

http://smartphone.kleinweder.ch/downloads/index.php

He has the same device and many themes for it, some of them with images (even if not "control") of external device.

Writing this message I realized that it is of no use, but... I'm too lazy to cancel it... ;-)
[HTC Startrek] PPCPassion:
Is there anyway to keep the secondary display alive by reg tweak? If so, can someone share the process?

FYI-I did try, HKLM>Software>HTC>Secondarydisplay and tried to change the display timeout value w/o any success. :x

Thanks
[HTC Startrek] lolslothy:
Zone-MR, any more info on using the external display? I found the subdisplayDLL.dll, which appears to be a driver? Couldn't find any documentation as to what the corresponding device is called, or any API for it.

Guys, I have posted details at modaco of how to change the resources in the subdisplay.dll file, so you can have custom clocks, and change any icon you like.
