[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorachus:
I am thinking of upgrading from my S4, which gets middle of the raod battery life, like 4.5h On Screen time. I am looking for something that gets 6h On Screen time minimum. I am thinking either the Note 3 or One M8. I want better battery life #1, and a good screen for outdoor use #2, and just an overall speedier / faster phone. Which phone gives better battery life ? A rooted and ROM'd new One M8 ? Or a ROM'd Note 3 ?

But I am disappointed with the U.S. carriers + Samsung for being Nazis and locking this Note 3 down so tight, that sucks to see. I have my S4 rooted, with all the good tweaks that come with rooting, like removing all the garbage bloatware, and apps like AdAway, Greenify, etc... And Wanam Xposed.

Thank you.

P.S. I played with an S5 at the store, and really liked the revised looking Touchwiz, looks much much better flat now, and the Phone and Contacts apps seemed way faster, and just different in a good way, compared to my S4. Would love to see the Note 3 with the S5 .apk's.

I get 3 or 4 days battery life on my Note 3 I'm rooted,,,Htc is inferior to the Note,,,Go with the Note 3 .
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxwilliams40:
Ask the same question in the m8 forum. Lol. I have both devices. It really depends on your usage.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jreed3786:
Why do people even bother to say they get insane battery life, when they know they do not!? To get that kind of battery life, you must only send a few texts per day, and maybe make a call or two. I'd love to see those battery stats.

REAL usage only lets you get close to a day, and even less. Anything streaming, you can count on definitely less than a day. Just sayin!
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham818:
battery life is pretty good. if you intend of get the note 3, get it on tmobile so its easier to flash roms and such. but keep in mind, the note 4 is around the corner. that being said, the m8 just came out. so yeah.

Yeah you caught me I'm lying Lol...lots of texts and use the phone,, I will post a screenshot for you..
[AT&T LG G2] NevetsDrassel:
Got a notification this morning that there was a new update available for KitKat. I do not know what the update is as I postponed it. I am currently running KitKat 4.4.2 Kernel version 3.4.0. The build is D80020c. I am rooted. I have no other information except that it shows that an update is pending but it will not tell me what the update is and I do not know where to find out what it is.

Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? I am concerned because the last time an update rolled out, it soft bricked my rooted phone.

I spoke with tech support at AT&T and they claim that they do not know what it is and suggested that I call LG for an answer.....
[AT&T LG G2] Jank4AU:
Don't install it, it jacked up my phone. I was running the rooted mixed partition D80020c and I can't boot or get into download mode now. All I get it a constant reboot back to recovery. Cannot install another ROM, cannot restore a backup. My daughter was playing with my phone and pushed to continue with the install and now I'm trying to unscrew it.
[AT&T LG G2] NevetsDrassel:
Is there any way to force a not install or deny it? The only option I have is to postpone the install and after 4 hours, it will run again and continue to run every 4 hours unless I find a way to break the cycle. How do I force a no install option?

That is what happened to me last time with the "q" update. I postponed the install (no option to not take it) and it installed itself after 4 hours when I left my phone on one night. I woke up to a bricked phone.....
[AT&T LG G2] Jank4AU:
I don't know how to permanently disable the update, but I'm sure there's a way. As info, I was able to easily fix my phone with the help of this thread posted by [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION]: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I didn't read it all, but this might be what disables the update.
[AT&T LG G2] countryfolk07:
I'm not rooted. I took the latest update and all is fine. It's google+ fixes and Google wallet support. It actually let me set up tap & pay! I'll have to go somewhere to try it out.
[AT&T LG G2] Really now:
I got the notification too but figured that it would probably screw things up since I'm rooted and running TWRP so I did a little searching and came across this, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50454408&postcount=3 . It's been a few hours since I changed the setting and haven't seen the update notification again although AT&T pushed the update into CACHE/FOTA sometime this morning.

Well scratch that, the notification just came back. I'll try freezing it now.
[AT&T LG G2] ScottsoNJ:
Well if rooted just use TB to freeze software update. I am also running a mixed partition D80020c. I am on Straight Talk AT&T. Before rooting I tried taking the official OTA of KitKat but for some reason you can't enter an APN type so I couldn't get or send MMS. So I flashed back to the D firmware,rooted,added custom recovery,entered the APN type and then flashed the modified C firmware. You could also use Root Freezer instead of Titanium Backup to freeze

Hi guys, today i am here to tell you a method only tested on a galaxy y, but i hope it will work for all. this is a method to change the download location for play store.

WARNING!!!

1. WARRANTY IS NOW VOID.

2. NOT MY PROBLEM IF SOME APP FAIL.

3. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE THIS.

This is a simple code but it needs root for sure. now the necessities are as follows:

1. A complete nandroid backup

2. Root Permissions

3. Any terminal emulator. e.g https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hecticman.jsterm

4. You need to know the default download location and the mount point of sd card( if that is where you want the new download location )

Now let's start.

Just know this that mnt/sdcard will have to be replaced by your sdcard mount point and data/app will have to be replaced by the default download location. i underlined them for easy understanding.

NOT MY PROBLEM IF THIS FAILS AND YOUR PLAY STORE CRASHES. JUST DO A NANDROID RESTORE.

THERE WILL ALREADY BE A $ AT START SO U DON'T HAVE TO PUT IT.

what the code does:

1. Grant super user permissions

2. Make a directory in sdcard named playstore.

3. Copy all items (recursively) from data/app to sdcard/playstore

4.Symlink the new location to fake the original.

Hitting Thanks can help.

and once again PLEASE BACKUP BEFORE THIS AND RESTORE IF NOT SUCCESSFUL.

This is based on the code used by link2sd.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DThought:
Could you please double check your code fragments?

For me it looks, like you create a directory "playstore", but then copy to a directory "playstore-temp", which will most like not exist at that moment.

The ln you're using can't realy work as long as the /data/app directory is still in place... so you would first need to delete /rename it.

Just my 2¢
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] xday123:
thanks dude

looks like i was drunk making so much mistakes . corrected it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Cyr4x:
It's not so simple if you use Link2SD. If you link some apps to sdext partition, some files in /data/app are symlinks which cannont be copied to /mnt/sdcard/playstore as it's FAT32. You have to try to symlink /app/data to folder on sdext partition. Create a folder /data/sdext2/playstore, copy /data/app/* there, delete /data/app and symlink /data/sdext2/playstore as /data/app. Sdext partition uses linux filesystem and all symlinks should work properly. I haven't tested it yet, but will do in a minute.

EDIT:

It doesn't work with Link2SD. Phone hangs on boot. It's probably cause Link2SD app must be directly in internal memory (so in real /data/app, not symlinked). I'll try to symlink /data/data or /data/dalvik-cache to save some internal memory but I doubt it'll work.

There is no toggle to it on the settings, and if you go to the screen lock types there is no others than slide or pattern etc.

I want to use a custom locker, I know there are apps that disable locking but they also disable the custom lockers
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] GalKill:
Then try go locker. It will enable the custom one and disable the stock one :)

And then....

WRONG SECTION !!!!!?

goto phone settings

change screen lock

enter pin

select none

now you dont have a screen lock

also questions ironically go in the Q & A section NOT general section!!
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] GalKill:
But I think that won't remove the lockscreen but only disable the security :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
it will remove the option of entering a pin - some 3rd party apps dont work if you have a pin set

of course you will still have a lockscreen - you cant remove this

Any 3rd party app you use will replace the stock lock screen so you dont need to remove it
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:
Hi,this might have been answerd before, but after a search i didnt find anything.

After unlocking bootloader and rooting this phone, like told in the htcdev guide, will there still be htc ota updates?

It was not on the s4, but samsung didnt support unlocking, thast why i wonder :)

Thanks :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
Samsung didn't support unlocking because the bootloader for most providers are not locked in the first place.

If you have a custom recovery the OTA will fail. There has been some debate as to if having an unlocked bootloader will work as well on past devices, but time will tell.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:
Okay, thanks :)

While you're here, is there an easy way to install stock firmware and restore the phone back to official status after custom rom flash? I'm new to HTC, only did this with samsung phones via Odin.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobruels44:
This is trickier with HTC. HTC uses something called RUUs. I don't rember what they stand for but they will do a full flash of stock firmware.

The catch is they are not available for everyone. They are carrier specific, and so far I haven't seen any for the M8 yet. Hopefully they will release it soon. Once we have this it is a simple .exe that is done on a windows computer and will take care of everything.

Alternately you can use a custom recovery to flash a stock nandroid, and then flash a stock recovery image.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mchief298:
Good question.

M8, nuff said.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HabueN:

Hi!

I've got this display issue that needs to beresolved, so please someone help me!

Symptos: after random period of time(5s-?s)the touch display no longer responds, sometimes it's enough to turn the screen off and on again to bring it backmto life, but sometimes it needs to be rebooted even several times :-/

Factory reset won't help.

Any ideas?

I 've bought is as a used one with custom 4.2 and have no idea or experience how to replace the rom, if it's a software issue.

Dont't have the original stock rom either..

Is there a foolproof step-by-step manual for users 1.0 like myself?

Thank you, appreciate any help

P

Update:

Someone checked the phone and i was told that a ROM for One V was installed, and that simply replacing it won't help 'cause it had written things to different places than the stock one would, so it just cannot overwrite it..

Does this make sense to anyone??

Is there a way to fix it?

Pls!!

Thank You!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mickeyvdb:
Hi,

Having this strange issue that when I receive a phonecall, the number which is displayed misses the first digit.

In my case the incoming phonenumbers should have a leading zero, but this is missing.

So, if someone calls me with telephonenumber 0123456789, only 123456789 is being displayed.

This makes it impossible to return a call easily.

I checked several settings but have no idea what causes this.

Does somebody have a clue what this can be?

Hi,

a few days ago i wrote on this forum that i had been able to install an italian ROM on a G4, CID-Locked Wizard. Since then, i've received several mails and PM from users asking me how i did. Instead of replying each one, i though it was better to write a tutorial and post it here for everyone to read/comment/correct it.

Here it is. Together with the tools you'll need to perform the update.

PS: in this tutorial i'm not explaining how to CID-UNlock a G4 or G3 (>= 2.21) phone. There is not yet a way to CID unlock these phones. I'm just describing how to circumvent the CID-lock problem by installing a ROM deprived of the IPL and SPL parts.

DISCLAIMER: THE PROCEDURE I’M GOING TO EXPLAIN DEALS WITH ROM ‘COOKING’ AND THUS IT MAY CAUSE SEVERE DATA LOSS OR EVEN IRREMEDIABLY DAMAGE YOUR DEVICE!

THE AUTHOR, NOR EVERY OTHER PERSON INVOLVED (E.G. THE ROM TOOLS DEVELOPERS), SHALL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS OR DAMAGES THIS PROCEDURE MAY CAUSE.

By following this tutorial, you're removing both the bootloaders (IPL and SPL) from a rom of your choice. This means that, if you don't make errors while 'cooking' the rom, you cannot completely destroy (brick) your phone. Sure, you could end up with a non-booting rom but, as long as you can get to the three colors screen (the bootloader screen) you'll always be able to install a different (or your previous) working rom.

On the other hand, messing with IPL and SPL (i.e. installing a rom containing IPL and SPL in a CID locked device) is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and MUST be avoided in most cases!!!

Installing a 2.xx rom without messing with your phone's IPL and SPL is exactly what this tutorial tries to explain.

NEVER INSTALL ROMS OR FOLLOW TUTORIALS IF YOU'RE NOT SURE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

ALWAYS ASK BEFORE PROCEEDING! A SIMPLE QUESTION MAY SAVE YOUR PHONE FROM DEATH!

So is there any issues with using a mismatched ipl/spl bootloader on my G4 equipped O2 mini S?

I really want to install Mr. Clean's Clean ROM, but i am afraid of bricking it.

I have done ROm upgrades before by CID unlocking my old Qtek9100 G3 (but my foolish friend dropped it into a cup of coffeee and killed it).

I will admit, the Mr. CLean Rom was WAY faster than my OE 2.21 ROm on my O2.

Is there anyway to go back and uninstall? Ie. download rom from O2 website to restore it?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
You CAN install MrClean AKU2.3 ROM BUT only if you first modify it following my guide: you cannot touch the IPL/SPL parts!!!

There are two reasons for not installing the original, unmodified MrClean ROM:

1) G4 phones cannot be CID unlocked. This means that you can replace their original IPL/SPL ONLY with a newer version made by the very same operator: e.g. if you have a 2.21 WWE T-mobile ROM then you can ONLY update this rom with a version > 2.21 made by T-mobile!!! You CANNOT use any other language nor any other operator's ROMs (cingular's, qtek's, etc).

2) MrClean ROM, as all the other home made ROMs you'll find in this forum, can be installed ONLY in G3 models because it contains only IPL and SPL version 1.0 (G4 phones need version 2.0)

Basically then, you have only 3 choices:

a) Follow my tutorial and be able to install every 2.x ROM you like (both stock ROMs and home made ones, every language, every operator). The only limitation is that you cannot install 1.x ROMs!

b) Install ONLY ROMs that are the OFFICIAL update to the one you have currently installed (e.g. if you have cingular 2.25 WWE rom then you'll be able to update it only when and if, a new, official, wwe, cingular ROM will be released). You won't be able to install a different language ROM nor a ROM made by a different operator, nor a home made ROM (like MrClean).

c) you can CID unlock your G4 wizard using some online service but: it will cost you money and you won't still be able to install home-made ROM 'cos they contain only IPL/SPL version 1.0 (you'll still need IPL/SPL version 2.0)

That said, i strongly suggest you solution (a)! It's free, it's very simple (it may seem complex but after the first time it'll be straight forward), it's the safest (because you don't replace the boot loader IPL and SPL) and it let you install whichever 2.x ROM you like!

Bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] minirx7:
Thank you risidoro,

Yes, i do realize the G4 IPL/SPL must not be altered to prevent from bricking the device.

I will try the Mr. Clean ROM tonight using your tutorial. I guess my only question is, will there be an issue using a 2.21 G4 IPL SPL on a 2.24ROM?

DOes the bootloader actual change with new ROMS?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Bootloader and ROM version numbers usually are the same (so ROM 2.24 should have IPL/SPL 2.24) but they can be different. I've used IPL/SPL 2.21.001 with both 2.18 and 2.24 ROMs.

Maybe newer ROMs, greater than 2.24, will require an updated IPL/SPL so you'll be obliged to CID unlock your phone. By then however, i hope there'll be a free CID unlocking tool for G4.

Thank you risidoro!! I was regretting getting my O2 miniS G4, in place of my broken Qtek 9100 G3.

Thanks for the superfast reply, actually waiting for someone to get me this phone, hopefully this week, wil try it out once I get it.

Using Clean ROM, does it just improve startup time, or does it improve performace of the phone in general ?

Do you have to re-install software after ROM update ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
Upgrading the OS part of a ROM cause your phone to hard reset, so yes, you'll have to reinstall everything. If, on the other hand, you upgrade any other part (GSM, Splash, ExtROM, HTC) but not the OS then you won't loose your data.

MrClean ROM and Summitter's ROM are both very fast. The latter contains cingular's customizations in extROM (they don't slow down the phone, they're mainly registry settings), some ringtones and compact framework 2.0 in ROM. If you're not a cingular user then i suggest you take the OS part from summitter's rom and the extrom from the MrClean. Then join the two parts with nb2nbf and flash to your device.

Bye
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] jeegnesh:
Any reason to take Summitter's OS is it faster or something then Mr Clean ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] risidoro:
No. Both summitter and mrclean use the same OS ROM (2.24.10 AKU2.3) hence they have the SAME, IDENTICAL speed.

The difference is that Summitter manually edited the original ROM and added a lot of ringtones, themes and, most important, the .net compact framework 2.0. If you install Summitter OS, then, you'll have the same mrclean basic OS plus a lot of goodies that don't take any space in storage since they're in ROM (compact framework 2.0 alone would take about 5mb of your precious storage if you installed it on mrclean).
