Developing for someone who has an app built by someone else and we now have that original native code. Clients wants some additional functionality that would be better suited to UIwebview (due to frequent changes) but also wants to be able to talk to camera etc. Would it be possible to build new sections in Cordova and integrate to existing xcode developed native code? I know phonegap creates a final package so I'm just referring to Cordova.

Hi all, After upgrade to the Resurrection Remix Kitkat Rom v5.0.9, I found that some apps like Dolphin browser, Camera 360 can't set the download path to the external SD card , but K9 mail can be changed to ext. memory card just like previous JB. Can someone confirm that?

And one more question, I copied some of my favorite ring tones, notification sound to the proper folders under /system/media/audio/. But why they are always displayed twice in the phone ring tone / default notification sound selection panels? And how to get rid of them? Thanks a lot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zhoene:
After seeing many different comments. I wanted to get a general idea on whether to update LG G2 to 4.4.2 Kitkat or stay with the 4.2.2 JellyBean version?

I mostly think about the OFFICIAL Kitkat release, NON-ROOTED.

I have seen people talking about battery and bluetooth battery drain problems on the new update... So which one is better?

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] z0phi3l:
Got better for me when I updated, and or was pretty dang good before
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLiNKT:
For me is KK better and faster yes have some problems with battery drain and bluetooth but if you flash any custom rom you resolve this problem i use custom rom and custom kernel and i not have this problem and i not use bluetooth everyday so my battery is pretty good so update to KK and be happy ;)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrShickadance9:

Which OFFICIAL version would be better?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buenarc:
Kitkat it is. It is the most updated and it is there for a reason: to fix Jelly bean's flaws. :fingers-crossed:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLiNKT:
If you HAVE ROOT or NOT HAVE anyway update to Kitkat because is better
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam298:
Oh no. One of the reasons why i ditched my nexus 4 for lg g2 is because nexus 4 had bluetooth connection issues with my car. Looks like it has to do with google 4.3 and 4.4+ roms no matter what phone you have. I have heard only sense and touchwiz didnt have this issue in KK. As i drive a lot, i need this feature. Looks like 4.4.3 fixes bluetooth - hope we get it for lg g2.

Other than that only things you will loose going to KK is

flash wont work with stock browser even if you use hacked flash player - works with dolphin+jetpack though.

stock browser inverted rendering wont work - dolphin night mode is great though.

Battery drain difference between the versions are minimal. I tried both in my nexus 4. If you experience a drain, it might be due to play services. some versions keep the location services running even if you turn off the location. I use appops to turn it off and i get good battery in KK.

What kind of issue you have with bluetooth? Not connecting? or not auto connecting with paired devices?

Edit: Bluetooth working fine for me with kitkat stock. Same car with which i had problems with nexus 4, works with lg g2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLiNKT:
Where can i get appops???I look on Google Play but i see some appops which app i must download?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mannequin:

Yes, but only castom!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osmosizzz:
I'm really thinking of going back to JB. Battery was heaven on there. I used to go 30 minutes SOT before it dropped to 99%. Now, after 12 minutes it drops. Battery life is not bad but once you taste batter, well, who doesn't want to stay at better. I just underclocked to 1.5Ghz for the day to see battery usage. First time underclocked with any device.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -morpheus-:
Hey guys, ive tested both. I would say battery on JB is better but overall speed is improved in KK (a least it feels like that).. so it just depends on your preferences..

(But i like the statusbar a looot more in KK) :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Battery and speed is better for me on Kitkat.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Because there was a bug with the battery meter readings. Mine would be 100% for a few hours standby but you know that's not correct. Kitkat fixed it for a better reading. I'm a pretty heavy user. JB would be needing a charge about 10-11pm where I rarely get below 15% on KK.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam298:
So far the only bugs i see in KK stock is - Battery usage shown is not correct, stays in 100 for a while, then goes down - sometimes suddenly drops. But i charge once in every 2 or 3 days with moderate usage.

In the battery usage, wifi usage is shown as bluetooth usage. I see bluetooth even if i dont use it. I switched off wifi and the bluetooth is not in battery usage anymore even if i use bluetooth :)

Pretty stable and good battery life.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
Well i got my phone on Tuesday of this week, and to be honest im a bit disappointed ! i have used a Galaxy S2 for about 3 years its rooted with a custom ROM which i have found to be great. Firstly the Z2 screen is far too dark for my taste, outside i do find it hard to see the screen. and yes that's with auto brightness switched off ! i have the tap screen to wake phone switched on , sometimes im surprised how hard i actually have to tap it to switch on ! and it doesn't always respond ! in the txt message screen, i find the writing so fine its hard to see against the white background, i feel the letters should be more bold so they are easier to read. and yes i have made the txt large. i also find the phone a bit quiet, the volume of the ring tone and txt could do with being louder. and im surprised at the battery life too, not as good as my GS2, but yes i understand that i have an Apollo kernel installed which prolongs the battery. i have downloaded a task killer on to the phone to help prolong battery life, i will see what difference that makes over a few days. i know they are probably just minor things i am moaning about.

i don't know if i was expecting too much ... but i thought that in 3 years since i last changed my phone, things would of moved on an awful lot. just hope that one of the Devs works out a root and makes some custom roms, so i can have the phone how i want it . am i the only one that is a bit disappointed ? :(
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hampurilainen:
Have you had a change to play with other new smartphones? How do you feel about them?

I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I find your claim about battery life a little hard to believe. The Z2 has WAY bigger battery and your S2's battery has had plenty of time to deteriorate. Again, not to be hostile but rather interested, could you post screenshots of battery stats after a normal day of use (both phones)?

Now of course I know hardly anything about custom roms that prolong battery life, but still...
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mstrflsh:
Get rid of that Task Killer, it's the ultimate in battery draining apps. Closing and relaunching apps that could simply sit in RAM? Not helpful.

The Z2 has 3GB of RAM and a stamina mode that can be set to only allow specific apps to run when the screen is off, as well as control mobile data. You'll need another week to use it to its full potential.

I'm a fairly heavy user, streaming Spotify 5 hours a day, watching TV 3 hours a day, Netflix for 1hour, 4K recording, take on average 10 pics a day and Snapchat/Whatsapp 10 hours across my day and still get home with plenty of battery.

Even today, removed from charge at 6.30am, still off charge at 10.38pm and I've 27% left.

Screen on time is at 4hours 35minutes.

I have had Z2 in 2 days now. I have owned Galaxy Note 2 and Note 3 before and now Z2, i found Z2's screen brighter enough and i am actually happy with the screen. I hated the screen on Z1 though which i got for some days in between Note 2 and Note 3.

When it comes to 'Tap to wake' feature. Here's a proof how accurate it is on my Z2: http://youtu.be/qdQz42pDIao (I made the video right now with Note 3)

Strange you can't see letters when the text is large. I have text on small and i am so happy with it. See the pictures below. (You can change theme also).
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sensamic:
I find all the new flagships since last year disappointing, and that's why I haven't upgrade from my SGS3 yet.

They all have three or four negatives.

Z2: too big (going from a SGS3 to a Z2 would be hard), overheating issue, 3 minute limit in 4K video, waterproof (it's a negative point for me because I don't want the USB charging port sealed. It's annoying if I have to charge the phone every day), you lose Sony DRM stuff if you unlock the bootloader and root, little development, delays, Z3 in second half of this year, no blocking mode (S5, M8, iPhone and Moto X and G have them and it's an essential feature), etc.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Q.Entity:
I wish it was 5.5 instead of 5.2...

The custom ROM stuff I quit after I got the Z1. Too much time spent on that with very few benefits. Personally, I rather have the magnetic charging cable.

This all comes to personal preferences. Sony like the other guys tries to appeal to as many as possible...

Good on Sony for sizing their battery, I owned Samsung S2, S4 and S3, the battery with never lasted more than 5 hour of screen on. where my Z1 easily last me more than 8 hours.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
I have to call your bluff regarding the S2 battery life. It cannot compare at all to the Z2. The S2 battery was horrible for me, even though mine was also rooted and all. In fact, it was the only phone I ever have to buy an extended battery and it still barely lasted me a day. Note2 was so much better than the S2 and Z2 beats the Note2. So no way I am going to believe your S2 can return a better battery life than the Z2.

Battery is amazing, this was my second full charge cycle. Note my sim wasn't activated, so no cellular signal/connection. According to gsam, it used a fair amount of battery looking for signal, so should be better now.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] numskull:
I think you were expecting to much lol..... seriously tho i had samsungs before this, galaxy s then a galaxy note now z2, im loving this phone, ok its not perfect but its not far off and im far from dissapointed, in fact im rather pleased, i tried recording in 4k yesterday, purely because i knew it would make my phone overheat and crash after about 5 mins....... unlike most people i made it past 5 minutes (only by 3 seconds tho) and it actually saved the video...... think i got a good one lol.

Yeah the speakers aint the loudest but the noise cancelling headphones and the bluetooth speaker i got with it more than make up for that. Screen is fine outside, maybe the viewing angle aint as good as the samsungs but its good enough. (On the plus side i work nights so wouldnt be bothered if it was dim anyway)

Battery??????????? Ummmmm you're doing something wrong, for me battery life is much better than any phone ive had before.... ive experianced that with the 'tap to wake' function too, i wouldnt say ive ever had to tap it harder, just doesnt always wake straight away.

in the 2 years since i got my galaxy note i didnt feel the samsung phones were offering anything more, sure id get more ram, bigger processor n bigger screen, but thats about it, the xperia on the other hand seemed to offer far more for me, than the note or any samsung since the note 1.

tl:dr......... Not dissapointed at all.......... yet (still need to submerge it lol)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skip24ftlb:
Do you not think smart phones have got to a point where technology has levelled out?

Higher res screens, better cameras, water proofing Etc? All this year's phones are much the same.

What separated them for me was build quality and screen size preference and being waterproof.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strommy1966:
yeah i think you could be right ! okay they tweak them a bit here and there,this one has a few more pixels,and so on, but with the manufactures bringing out so say flagship phones every 6 months, they cant change drastically in that short time. but we keep buying them so i guess they will keep doing it .
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warkman:
cant agree, sorry. have gone from the S3 to the Z2 and I love the size of the phone (not everyone has small fingers or small hands lol)

The 4K video limit is on all 4k phones, but exactly where would you play your 4K film? unless you have been twisted into buying a 4K tv where there is not TV programmes for it, (just like 3D withering on the vine)

Charging point sealed? do what most of us are doing, buying magnetic charger no need to open the flap, and its waterproof which your s3 and mine were not

who these days puts DRM music on anything?

only thing I can agree is night time blocking is not very good, but Flight mode suffices for me

oh and the battery performance blows the S3 out of the water, two days out of a charge instead of 12 hours if lucky
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stress40:
I agree. I mean what else can they possibly put in a phone? Apart from the 64 bit step, I can't see where else they can possibly go. IMO phone, tablet and laptop have all converged; to a degree i.e. phone- mini tablet, tablet- mini laptop. I am actually surprised that phones haven't had upgradeable ram yet.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarfrost:
I am planning to have this phone from my Galaxy S4. Stuffs that tempt me are the stereo-speakers, the premium feel, the waterproofing and that IPS display. I always wanted to have Sony because of the design, but the TFT LCD display is the deal-breaker for me. Now comes Z2 with IPS. Also, I have been using my gf's Nexus 5 with the IPS display, the screen is awesome, brighter and crisp. So I think Z2 would be perfect for me.

And I believe Asian version Z2 has more compatibility with frequency bands than S4 (i9505). Did my research. Hurray!:victory:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skip24ftlb:
Touching on battery life. I think the z2 is actually pretty incredible in that regard. My note 2 would not last the night from a full charge. I use a particular app that uses GPS all my shift. That and the phone being connected on Bluetooth and constantly searching for the next mobile transmitter whilst I drive 6-8 hrs would have the note 2 flat to the point of switching off if I didn't put it on charge. The z2 is at 48 % and that's including chatting on the phone and listening to an audio book. Very impressed with the z2 power management

Hi,

i recently changed the partition on my A820 using the meteos utility to 2,5gb data. Looking at the storage pane in the settings it says the following:

internal storage (~5% used)

total storage space: 2,46gb

available: 2,34gb

Phone storage:(~10% used)

total storage space: 273mb

SD-card (~20% used)

available: 6,08gb

Problem is, whenever i try to install the game "Blitz Brigade" from play store, it keeps complaining that i'm out of storage space (which i shouldn't be). I did set the installLocation to SD-card (same result) and even ran the Meteos tool again + recovery + factory reset. Same problem remain.

I tried the "Storage Analyzer" app in play store and got the following

/storage/sdcard0 : 273mib total / 238mib free

/storage/sdcard1 : 7,39gib total / 6,08gib free

/system : 590mib total / 94,5mib free

/data : 2,46 gib total / 2,33gib free

and also entries for /cd-rom, /protect_f and /protect_s

Could it be my partitioning that went wrong or is it just Blitz Factory that insists on installing in the wrong partition (i.e not adjusting to the preferences in the storage section?)

How to fix no sound during a call on CM11

I'm running CM11 and I have the issue and I spent 48 hours to find a fix for it

the thing is when the device first boot up and you call a number there will be no sound only the other guy can hear you

in order to fix the issue you need to play any sound before you do your first call after boot up

You need to do this ONCE after boot

So I said to myself why the hell I dont use Tasker to play a notification sound on boot up ??

lol its fixed now and every time my device boot up it plays a notification sound

hope this will help the people who has this software issue until CyanogenMod fix it

and I don't know any fix if the problem is from the phone's hardware guys

If you'll use tasker do the follwing :

New profile > Event > System > Device Boot

then back to creat new task

Alert > Notify Sound

choose a Title

Choose an Icon (optional)

**Choose any sound file from your phone and its better if its just a short notification sound

then back and save your profile and you're done

I don't know if other AOSP based Roms or Sammy Roms has the same issue but if so try this fix with them too

This is my very very first helpful thread on XDA
