[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jottle:
I've been experiencing disappointing battery life since the android 4.3 update last month on my non-LTE t-mo galaxy s3. I know there's been a lot of discussion and advice by t-mo reps on various forums, but it simply isn't accurate. The party line is "something you installed on your phone is causing increased battery drain after the 4.3 update." However, my partner and I have two identical T-mo galaxy S3's. We have entirely different sets of apps installed on our phones. As soon as we installed the 4.3 update, both of our phones started to drain rapidly faster than before the update. On 4.2 our phones would last to 50% by the end of the day (~8pm) with light to moderate use. Now they're at ~20% by the end of the day, and I can see my battery levels drop faster just while using the phone. This is totally unacceptable. I've downloaded battery monitoring apps, and no apps I've installed are draining the battery, it's the system and kernel that take up most of the cpu. People are saying it's the touchwiz additions that are causing the system to use up more cpu cycles. I refuse to do a factory reset because there's so many reports of this not doing anything. There's clearly a bug in the 4.3 update for the SG3, unless it's touchwiz as everyone seems to indicate. How can I check to see if something is causing too many lock wakes?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
As Stated Above, perform factory reset Or provide overnight Idle BetterBatteryStats log.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Bbs logs? And if you refuse to factory reset then theres probably not a lot anyone can do to help you. Just make a nandroid backup first. As I just pointed out to someone else devs are always updating apps for compatibility with new versions. You may have old incompatible data or apps left over.

But if you refuse to factory reset you are in for what could be a very long and tedious troubleshooting process.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
The vast majority of people end up solving lots of problems by factory resetting. And ill remind you that you came to us for help, but since you are unwilling to consider my advice I will just have to wish you luck and let you solve it on your own since you already seem to know what all works and what doesn't.

(Quick tip: even if you disagree with what they say, if someone else does decide to try and help you, a little politeness and appreciation for their time will take you much further than you got with me)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I had posted a need to see an Idle BBS Log. Haven't see that. So if you are unwilling to provide one, I wish you Good Luck and happy Journey.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TurboFool:
I've developed two cracks in my frame, in opposite corners, where the plastic has actually fallen away in a decent-sized chunk. This is in the glossy plastic that directly bumps up against the glass.

Anyone know if this is a part I can locate online and replace myself? I replaced my Nexus 4 screen without difficulty (although that included the full front frame assembly), so I'm not afraid of the process, but I can't seem to find anything related to this part online.

Thanks!

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TurboFool:
That appears to be the screen, itself. My screen isn't broken. I'm looking for the plastic frame AROUND the glass screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Not to even mention the fact that what's posted is for the 2012 model.

That being said, is this what you mean?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TurboFool:
Ha, I managed to miss the wrong year, too.

And yes! The part that's pulled up in your photo is exactly what's cracked/broken on mine. I should have posted a photo, myself, to make it easier on people, but thought my description would be enough.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
Sadly, our friend, while providing the wrong part, may have indeed been on the right track, looking at the teardown that 'part' seems to be part of the display assembly, it's rather hard to tell without taking apart my own device (not gonna happen), so I am going by teardown images etc.

In short, I doubt you will find that 'ring' by itself, however, you may be able to find a cracked device (with that part intact) for cheaper than a display assembly.

The image I posted comes from a recent G+ post, perhaps you'll want to keep an eye on it, maybe someone will find something.

If it were I, I'd go for some superglue and a fosmon tpu rear cover.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TurboFool:
I really like the size of this thing as it is. I switched from a full case with magnetic cover to a slipcover just because I realized it was so much more comfortable to hold bare.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] mdamaged:
I hear you, I have the fosmon I posted, and it really does not add much at all, but obviously everyone's tolerance is different. Anyhow, hope you find a solution to your liking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] matt135353:
Hello all, and thanks in advance for your help. I don't know if all of this is relevant to what happened, but I'm including it in case there's some small clue.

My phone was an S-OFF running HBOOT 2.09. I have been running Deck's CM builds for a while now with no issues. Last week, I decided to update to the new firmware which included the new partition layout.

HTC's RUU executable did not work, so I used the two zip method in this post. I first renamed rom_01 to PJ75IMG.zip, placed it on the SD card, rebooted and installed, then did the same with rom_02. Loaded everything up, seemed great with the stock image. After verifying everything was working fine, I flashed a new recovery (2.7.0.0b, via PJ75IMG.zip as well), and installed the latest OmniROM (3/31) via recovery. I had some issues with the PA 0-Day GAPPs that were recommended (force close errors with Google Keyboard) so after reflashing Omni switched back to the 12/09 GAPPs in Deck's thread. Everything seemed great.

A few days later, after having the phone in my pocket, my screen turned into a rainbow of pixels. Here is what it looks like: http://imgur.com/9ef6F8z It still seemed to work, just the screen was always that rainbow.

Thinking it was an issue with the firmware, I tried to RUU back to a somewhat earlier stock by using ViperRUU 3.16.651.3. However, after going through the RUU process, it had gone about 30-40 minutes with no updates, so I thought it had crashed. I checked to see if that was normal, and saw that it was not and they recommended restarting the process. I restarted both the ViperRUU (couldn't find phone anymore) and the phone, and now I think my phone might be totally bricked.

When I turn it on, there is nothing on the screen. It vibrates once, like it's trying to start, but nothing happens and the phone is otherwise unresponsive. I can try to boot into the bootloader (volume down + power) and that SEEMS to work, but the screen doesn't turn on then either. Occasionally, it will display the same rainbow pixels after "selecting" an option on the bootloader menu (I'm assuming). I've also pulled the SD card to insure it's not trying to read any PJ75IMG.zip.

I can't seem to get it to go into fastboot mode (single power button click after thinking I'm in the bootloader) and adb only shows the device as OFFLINE when I can get it to detect. It's hard to know what's going on without the screen.

Has anyone heard of this before? I probably ****ed something up but other than ending the ViperRUU early, not sure what. Thanks in advance, I very much appreciate it.

Hmm...I bought mine secondhand and am going to be running it on Ting, you think they would do that for me if it happens? :laugh:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
I have TEP but that never even came up. I never filed a claim. They originally wanted me to go to a Sprint store to have a tech look at it but I complained that the nearest store is an hour away. So they took my word, after explaining what was happening, and sent me a new (refurbished) EVO and then I sent them the old one in the package they provided with the new one. This was back in November of 2013 and I never heard anything else about it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrc87:
Hey everyone,

I'm thinking of switching to the new One m8, has anyone done that? I saw a thread speaking of the old One, I'm curious about the new one. At my local Best Buy they only have the amber version and it can't even be turned on...

I would switch mainly for the materials it is built with but also I would like to try a different skin and the extra things this brings with it.

So... Has anyone passed to the new One?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kernelhackx:
Im about too, and yeah I would like to have a different feel on a phone, based on reviews its a good phone but also has some flaws like the camera, etc. And it also comes in a hefty price. But, its a good phone thats why I'll jump to it, anyways I'm still keeping my N5 so no loses for me. If I get bored with the M8 then I'll sell it. Lol!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinisloco:
It startes getting really good toward the end...

But also, one reccomendation is to look at the HTC M8 Forums, If you check here, it will be (Mostly) people who may have tried it, but ended up not keeping it

Over there, youll get people who actually have it, and may have came from the N5

Personally, I had played with my friends, and I think its really cool, I love it, but I'd miss the "clean feel" of the N5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
I suggest going to ATT store to play with a real one, I was quite impressed. The only thing that bothered me was like the bottom speaker, htc logo, and then the softkeys. No real reason for the htc logo in that big of an area. If I could afford it I would buy it in all honesty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OuncE718:
From what I've read the bezel is big because the front facing speakers are utilizing that space.

Either way, it's a nice looking phone but I'll stick with my Nexus 5 until the next Nexus comes out.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adonisd:
Also behind the HTC logo is the antenna, I think I read that some where.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrc87:
I too read that they had to keep the black bar with the logo for antennas and circuits... Too bad, it would have been better without but still, comparing it to the nexus 5, it's probably just half an inch taller.

Anyway, I went on and bought it, it should arrive tomorrow!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josemedina1983:
After the Nexus 4 and 5 price I can't see my self spending 500 bucks or more on a phone. Also I hate leaving my phones naked and it kinda kills the purpose of buying such a nice build phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
nope

[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

To me its not worth the price when I already have a nexus 5

Practically the same processor ram screen size plus HTC bloat

And the camera is worse IMHO

I'm expected to pay a $300 premium for front facing speakers and metal casing that I would cover up with a case anyway. No thanks

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistahseller:
I personally am excited for you. Some blogger on techradar said he returned his within the first hour and a half due to the camera. But the actual techradar website gave the m8 an awesome review and so has anyone else with any credability just like the one m7. To each his own. I hope you enjoy it because I sure want one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spinninbsod:
Not buying m8 or s5 I can over clock my nexus 5 to 2.5 and it will be faster than s5 about the m8 I never liked HTC I don't like the metal design it scratches to easy and I like the looks of the nexus 5 simple basic not to flashy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrc87:
Hey thanks!

I never use the camera on any phone... I'm just not the kind of person that takes many pictures... That's why the camera part is the one that I care the least about.

I am more interested in the overall quality and battery life, which my nexus 5 has been disappointing me lately (very unstable, one day fine the next a disaster).
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] NeMisiz:
So..moving from Android to Windows is pretty awesome except that Windows is just way to good at locking down their hardware. Verizon just adds insult to I injury when it comes to using my unlimited data which I will never give up until they decide to drop me.

Anyway, if anyone is interested I have figured out how to tether the 8x via USB (and at pretty decent speeds) but have still been searching for any sort of workaround for the ICS that VZW thinks unlimited users shouldn't be allowed to have for free. I could just go pay the $5 for Tether-X or whatever but I hear it takes a lot of setup on the computer end which is just a hassle and not convenient seeing that my home computer already has fast internet. I've had a few ideas...

First, for those who are interested in USB tethering. It involves enabling Diag Mode (##634#) so your PC will recognize it as a USB Composite Device. The problem here is the drivers. I searched all over and finally came across the 8x-specific drivers for the PC to recognize it as a modem. Message me if you are interested in the details to setting that up. Now to the hotspot question...

From what I've read, there used to be a way to go into your EPST settings (##778#) and change the DUN NAI in the default W.IP profile to bypass the block. The problem here is that you cannot edit these settings because VZW(HTC?) decided that people shouldn't be able to play with the device they paid so much for to keep their unlimited data. Does anyone know any tricks to unlock editing in these sections of the EPST? Any other workarounds that anyone has heard of? Please don't say such things as "move to a shared plan" or "pay for the hotspot"...I waited for this phone to come down in price so I could buy it out-of-pocket just for the fact that I could keep my unlimited data. And it wouldn't really be unlimited if I had to pay more to use ICS, now would it? Besides, it's not a necessity, just something that would be convenient. I have faith that WP8 will be cracked soon so I can enjoy it like the old days where the native file system was open for modification.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElTron:
Hi:

I have a non routed Moto G with Android 4.4 with upgrade 176.44.1.falcon_umtsEURetail.en.EU.

I can create any .docx files with QuickOffice or any .doc files with KingsoftOffice then I can see these files in my folder with, for example, ES File Explorer.

The problem arises when I connect the Moto G to my PC (Windows 8.1) via USB cable. The created files are not recognized by the PC. With the PC I can see other files in the folder but the created .docx or .doc files are not present in this folder.

If I send these files from my Moto G to my Gmail account then I can open them with any PC Word program.

Any ideas? I think is a question of compatibility. Is there any solution?

I downloaded from there yesterday and I've been trying to clean my laptop ever since. I've used mbytes chameleon three times, adwcleaner, zoek, combofix, you name it ... I'd have done a clean windows reinstall already but I don't want to lose my browser histories -- it's my only clue as to what I was working on on any given day.

Anyhow it's not just the ordinary dozen or so variations of PUP -- I've blundered on to attack sites before, but this is my worst experience ever.
