[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Formhault:
So, I got my Galaxy S4 about 8 months ago. And I've taken good care of this battery - never let it charge over night (except for ~7 times), never let it drop below 10% (except for ~3 times). I also didn't put much strain on it with overclocking and such (for what it's worth). It isn't swollen (not even just a bit) neither.

Yet, here I am, 8 months later... complaining about the fact that my battery life isn't comparable to someone else's who claims they're able to play a game for 5 hours straight.

My daily usage is kind of like a routine. It doesn't differ (very much) from day to day. So, I get about 3 hours of screen-on time (out of which 30 minutes = a game).

I just swapped batteries with a friend who got a Galaxy S4 a week ago. You know, just to see how crappy my battery is.

What did I find? With his battery, I could easily get 4+ hours of screen-on time! And that was with screen brightness to auto (mostly outdoors, so it was pretty bright), 3G data almost always on (some times Wi-Fi), a few minutes of using GPS and one hour (!!) of gameplay (the same, not that graphical intensive game I play on a daily basis). So... while I usually get 3 hours of screen-on time (with 30 minutes of gameplay), with a new battery, I would easily get ~5 hours of screen-on time!

Now, what the hell? How can a battery degrade so much so fast? I mean this guy has got a Galaxy Note 2 for almost a year and the battery was still the same!

And you see people with >6 months old S4's still getting stellar results battery-wise... What the hell :eek:

---------------------------

So, what I would like you to do is the following (PLEASE!)

- State the age of your phone.

- The first 4 characters of the battery's S/N + the manufacturing date (can be found on the back of the battery).

- What's the average hours of screen-on time you can get with your phone, and in which usage conditions.

Why am I asking you to do this? It's simple. I think batteries from a specific batch yield better results than those from another. For example, if 4 people with ABCD (Serial Number) batteries from April 2013 get 5 hours of screen-on time and 5 people with EFGH batteries from May 2013 get 4 hours of screen-on time... that means ABCD batteries from April 2013 are better performing.

I'm in the process of purchasing a new battery, and before I do so, I wanna make sure I'm getting one that's not from a bad batch (according to what results I'm getting here - if I am not gonna get any... well... I'm gonna go with the most recent battery, lol).

Also, consider this as a poll participation. Just for fun / curiosity. As I said, to see what batteries are better than others etc. Just bear with me :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Its probably a fake Note 3 with a Mediatek cpu made by HDC mate. look on google for HDC Galaxy Note 3 N9002 MTK6589T. Look on the box for Samsung stickers, in the bootscreen animation for Samsung and model name and on the battery if it says Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
There are many fake Samsung devices in China, sometimes you have to look hard to see if its a genuine device. The price of the device could be indication, look for the Samsung name on the Battery, in the bootanimation you should see Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9002 and look in settings/about phone/device info/ for info. Just saying to be carefull and make sure you get the right one :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P4P3RB4G:
Hello I am using G2 xposed to modify the status bar and navigation bar.

I encountered a problem because the icons displayed white colour instead of the original colour.

Like for example Subway Surfers.

The problem occurred after I have set the bleed immersive mode and kitkat icon.

I tried restarting the phone and even uncheck the kitkat Icon and it doesn't work.

Is there a way to fix the issue?

Here is the image, unfortunately, I cannot display the link and image because I have less than 10 post.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yuyuchen0204:
You can add the app to the black list of the bleed immersive mode, this would solve the problem.

EDIT: Sorry, it seems that it doesn't work if the notification have non-white colors

Maybe it's a bug cuz immersive mode is still on BETA.

Hello,

I just need to ask that Im on rooted 681. I just need to update my dualrecovery. Is It ok that I use the flashable zip and put it on the sdcard and flash it there. I dont know what to do with the old dualrecovery. Will it be updated if I just flash the newest dualrecovery which is flashable zip.

Thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
The old one will be UPDATED to the new one. Just flash it in recovery
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samircali:
U mean I flash it on the same place as the old recovery.

correct me if Im wrong , but can I just put the newest dualrecovery on the sdcard and flash it there ?

Thanks again :)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Yes, just flash it....It makes no difference where you put the update.zip, you can also delete it afterwards...it installs the files to the correct places
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samircali:
Alright, Will do that now :) Thank u very much.
[HTC One Mini] lughy13:
Hello,

I have a HTC One Mini with HBOOT 2.21, S-ON, unlocked bootloader. I bought the phone with Android 4.4.2 on it, the version was 3.10.161.6 and i wanted to flash 3.10.401.4.

I have unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.com, installed custom recovery (TWRP), and followed these steps:

Download ROM and place it on your virtual SD card

Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of the Stock ROM

After flashing process is complete,Wipe Cache and Dalvik, reboot the device enjoy!

If coming from older versions of android or getting stuck on boot animation please don't forget to fastboot boot.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Also I have flashed the boot.img because of the S-ON.

Now, the phone is stuck at HTC logo ( white screen with green HTC logo). I can access bootloader and recovery.

How do I restore my phone and get it working again?

Please help!!!

As the OP said, you must search before asking. S2w and d2w must work when the screen it's off and the phone sleep. I couldn't test it yet, but look interesting the features of this kernel..

I didn't found anything about that. Uff..
[Moto G Android Development] RenderBroken:
Sorry I should have made it more clear. I do know for fact it works on my 1034 but would love to get some feedback from other moto g users about their experiences. As I have said I want this to be an open discussion. My understanding is since the kernel uses the current boot.img radish is should work for the other versions. But this just makes logical sense to me and have not tested. Thanks guys for the interest. In the second post I will go into more about MPDecision and how to configure it to your own tastes. In the 3rd post I will be using it as a revolving post about different kernel topics or whatever the community wants to go into. Thanks guys

So this kernel does not work on the stock ROM? I just tried it and I'm stuck on the logo.
[Moto G Android Development] Ogatron:
The kernel run nice with a fresh install of last cm11 nightly. I really need your tutorial for configure this new kernel :D
[Moto G Android Development] RenderBroken:
Sorry bud, It does not work on stock. I would love to find out the difference though. If anyone has an idea let me know and I can look into it. I thought it was just the Ramdisk that dictates the rom it can use but my kernel uses the ROM's ramdisk so that cant be it. If anyone has some insight please share and we can go into it. I would love to have my kernel work on all roms.

On another note, it seems that Touch Boost is not working properly and I will have to look into it along with Max Screen Off. It is supposed to be disabled since I use another mechanism in MPDEC.
[Moto G Android Development] SWTR:
Ok doubletap2wake in deep sleep doesn't work. I have test it.

But kernel runs smoother than stock CM. I hope the battery is also good but I'll see.

Hi,

does mxplayer decode VC-1 Video?

I have an asus memo pad fhd 10 and on all vc-1 encoded videos the player switches to Software decoding.

Maybe it does not work on all devices? ...it is an Intel based tablet.

Regards,

Felix
[MX Player] CDB-Man:
The developer could confirm, but I believe that there aren't many devices out there at all that have hardware support for VC-1 as it's not a widely used codec. Aka, I don't think it is an MX specific issue.
[MX Player] Thirumalai.K:
VC-1 support is already available.

Your hardware does not support VC-1. That's why it switches to SW mode to use mxplayer ffmpeg library for video playback.
[MX Player] zc-face:
Thanks for reply.

I considered that too but the manual says vc-1 decoding would be supported.

It seams they don't mean Hardware decoding but rather "generally".

...Dammit!

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobo122:
no i didn't try it , but as i understood from what i read in few threads, the phone will still state that its rooted and it will not update (even if you remove root using superSU's remove root feature), so you'll need to got to completely stock firmware (by the way , i doubt factory reset will remove the root since superSU -or any other root management app- should be a system app)

Update:

Tracked it down to the A2DP patch. After hard reset I could get it working but after just installing the patch (DOPOD latest ROM) it stopped working. Maybe the device is looking for paired headphones which I don't have?

Hey guys. this is my phone:

TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery

I have been trying to install a rom for 2 days now. Today i finally managed to install the Venom team ViperOne rom 6.1.0 and whenever I reboot the device it just goes back to hboot. I tried to use rumrunner to make it S-OFF with no success every time it says that adb doesn't see the phone even though I can see it when i type "adb devices" in the command line. I installed another rom from this site ([ROM][4.2.2] ╠█╣ RGUI V3 ╠█╣ Faster.Smoother.BatteryFriendly |✰ Kitchen ✰| 2.24.401.1) and the same happened, the installation was successful but it just keeps booting into hboot ( the screen in the pic).

I dont know what else to do...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

I also tried to restore my phone using clockworkmod to a backup that I downloaded, falsh the boot.img that was in the back up, flash a twrp recovery and then install the viperone rom and at the end i get stuck in the "HTC quietly brilliant" logo.

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Tal Rasha:
I was able to find an easy method of rooting and installing clockwork mod recovery on the Sony Xperia tipo ST21a (should also work on the st21i model) with a locked bootloader.

What you need:

1) a Windows PC

2) a sony xperia tipo

3) a working internet connection

4) usb cableto connect your phone

5) unlockroot pro

6) the zip file for cwm

so first of all, we need to download the program unlockroot pro [37.94MB] download link is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By158glMMBkhMVNBTGtyYnZpem8/edit

once its downloaded, run the installer and follow the instructions provided. after this is installed, run it. you will be asked for a code, just enter this: URPTKVMURDKBFEYNOFUK

there shoul be obvious direction from there to root the phone :)

after the phone has rebooted, make sure you have usb debugging enabled (settings -> development -> usb debugging) and you will need the zip packege to install cwm which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-j-e/development/tipo-clockworkmod-t2003069 along with the instructions on ow to install it (it's really straight foward :) )

thanks, and i hope this helps :p

its better to get a new cable, it could damage your device too. most of the cases changing the wire will work, or one thing you could try is clean the connector on your device which CT or you could use a little of motherboard cleaner. an do this while your device is completely powered off an the battery is unplugged too. let it dry before you plug the battery in. good luck.
[Zooper Widget General] ubdu:
Hi, I finally achieved what I was trying to do, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to write it all out.

It's just a basic battery progress bar color changer in Advanced Parameters.

If the battery is charging, the color is blue.

If the battery is discharging, and is less than or equal to 25% then the color is red.

If the battery is discharging, and is between 26% and 50% (inclusive) then the color is yellow.

If the battery is discharging, and is greater than 51% then the color is green.

My code:

$#BSTATN#=2?[cl]0000FF[/cl]$
$#BSTATN#!=2&&#BLEVN#<=25?[cl]FF0000[/cl]$
$#BSTATN#!=2&&#BLEVN#>25&&#BLEVN#<=50?[cl]FFFF00[/cl]$
$#BSTATN#!=2&&#BLEVN#>50?[cl]00FF00[/cl]$

Is there a more concise or better way to get my results? I'm trying to learn to expand my scope. Thanks in advance.
[Zooper Widget General] ubdu:
I'm going to answer myself with:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fizou:
Hi

I have a new HTC one M8 (Bell Canada carrier), rooted with HTCDev, I also have SuperUser status and I installed TWRP recovery.

The question is: should I bother to get S-Off?

Another question, unrelated to S-Off vs SU:

As I did not flash a new Rom, I beleive that I still could do the OTA sys updates when they become available,

would doing an OTA system update remove my SU privileges and re-lock the bootloader?

Thanks,

Fizou, in Toronto
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav kapur:
1) This is the M7 forum, not M8. In the future, pls post there. There's a forum specifically for the M8

2) S-OFF nd SU are TWO ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT THINGS ALTOGETHER. Pls research more

Coming to your question, you cannot get OTA updates if you have a custom recovery, which im sure you would be having. If you want OTA updates, you need to flash stock recovery. And, OTA updates wont affect ur root privilege(SU) or the bootloader status
