[Galaxy S 5 General] Toxicoblivion:
If you have root, go ahead and install an app called Battery Saver on the play store. Its by some company called Gejos enterprise, and for once its an app that isn't bullsh*t. It doesn't play with radios or anything at all, it doesn't affect any use or features, but it really does help. Its my favorite app because it works so well. I used to be 10-15% at bed but that took me to 30-35%. Its well worth it. If you're wondering, their other apps work too. So much better than Juice Defender. I have an AT&T S5 and I swear this is honest :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] dannypdrsn:
I've just downloaded the Battery Saver app from Gejos.

Looks strange because it don't have any UI? Of course you have the ability to enable the feature and remove ongoing notifications, but no unnecessary settings in the app.

I will give it a try and see what's happens to my battery life :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turando77:
Hi guys.

I'm using SGS2.Could you tell me which Rom or Kernel offers best battery life for this device? I installed tons of rom and i not sure about which is the best.I only asking for 2.5 or 3 hours screen time i newer saw that time on this device.Anyway im waiting for the answer and your notion. And finaly my english is not well i hope i can tell my problem,good days
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
There's no such thing. The two biggest factors which determine battery life are phone setup & usage. If you're not on top of those two things, makes no difference what kernel or rom you run (rom has almost nothing to do with it).

The only way to get great battery life is to tweak, test & experiment. There are 'shortcuts'; there is a multitude of threads on here with suggestions you can try & see how they work for you.

But there's no magic way to achieve great battery life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurav.dey:
Hi guys,

I have been a silent follower but now I really need your help to get out of this mess.

Bought an s5 SM G900H on 23rd apr(India), since the very first day noticed a strange issue that when listening to songs for a long time, say an hour at a stretch the music app just crashes and then when I check my running applications all of them show restarting without actually restarting the services.

After this the phones response becomes pathetic and every app crashes the moment I start them. I have to reboot the device to get it working again. What seems to be the issue?

Only happening when I listen to music for quite some time.It seems the phone is just not able to free enough ram as ram usage peaks and no amount of killing all apps frees any ram.

Should I not get a replacement phone? Samsung svc people were telling me they'll update the software and then see, but then my DOA period would be over. I am regretting my decision to buy the phone.

Help guys!

Ps: Checked with kies and on sammobile, I am already running on the latest build. G900HXXU1ANCI

Does this happen with the Samsung Music app or also with Play Music? I use Play Music all the time and didn't had any issues yet. *knock on wood*
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurav.dey:
Got my device replaced and its still giving me the same issue. So to conclude it, there is some bug with samsungs music player as this doesn't happen with play music app. Don't worry bro it'll be patched in an update soon and a g3 may also have certain bugs at launch. All this is a part of new device hitiing the market, bugs are to expected.

BTW is yours an exynos model or snapdragon? Mine is exynos.

Happening only with the Samsung music app.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
hi buddy! im glad i am not the only one xD I thought i had a defective device.

and for g900H, it is the international model of exynos chipset. g900F is the international model of snapdragon 801.

I thought this was a hardware issue. I hope they can do something about this. Samsung plz

Have you also seen a rare issue that your power button stops working? like if the button doesnt work. I think this may have been a problem related to greenify without root. Im scared to try it again so, if anything happens, you guys should know. xD uninstall greenify and restart.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurav.dey:
Hi Mate,

The thing that surprises me is how an issue or a bug like this escaped the samsung testing team.

The power button at times becomes unresponsive if the services are stuck at restarting. Not just that the whole phone starts acting weird, my finger print scanner won't work intermittently and every app crashing, the homescreen resetting etc. I spoke to Samsung Head Office here in India and they asked me to send a detailed mail about the issue. I have done that. Now the best we can do is wait for them to release a fix.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenchai:
yeah, lets hope, Im stuck to rebooting my phone every 2 hours to clear ram.it gets to 1.6/1.8gb ram everytime
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaurav.dey:

No Ringtone on incomming call on FALLEN v4.9 Rom , can anyone help on this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisb906:
That ROM is no longer in development. U could try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] whitak3r:
I just spent most the night researching this for a friend. It seems the cm10(i think it's 10) had this bug in it, and fallen is based on that version. I haven't tried anything yet, but here are some things that I read that might work: enable lock screen sounds, flash newer radio, disable all other apps that may conflict with sounds. I'm going to be trying this on my friends device as soon as I can. If not, flashing to a different rom . :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] LordPhong:
I've used both but I want to know what ppl here think.

The two things I live about iGuidance over TomTom is the accuracy of the map in my area and the ability to get the address from PIM.

TomTom's much better to me. I don't even really need to overclock TomTom but with iGuidance, I have to overclock my MDA to 240 (I should try higher).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] LilMikey:
I generally use iguidance over TomTom. The maps are generally more accurate and the POI list, specifically the restaurants, appear to be better in iGuidance. I also like the address/POI/general data entry methods (ie: street first) more.

TomTom is much prettier, runs much better, and gets more 'wow' points but as far as functional software, I'm an iGuidance guy.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] sonystyle:
iGuidance

I am a tech support for one of the PDA GPS solution company, I strongly recommand iGuidance over TomTom for it price, function, and user friendly. I like iGuidance giving me more information on voice prompt such as tell me the exact number of of highway exit and the number of the highway I need to turn to. It also tell me the destination will be on my left or right. The only think I like TomTom is the interface looks prettier that's about it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bittermormon:
does iguidance allow you to view in landscape mode? For some reason this is my preferred way. Maybe its because I got used to my parents Tomtom or something.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] motionmind:
iGuidance works fine in landscape mode, but I still prefer it in portrait so I can see more of the road ahead when using the heading=up style navigation. As for the complaints of resource use, it always seemed to me that TomTom used far more than iGuidance and gave me more sluggish performance and a slower startup time. The Tomtom interface never won any points with me either with having to go through a few "pages" of settings to try and find what I wanted. You shouldn't have to flip through 3 pages of options (I think that's how many it was) just to exit the program.

My favorite part about iGuidance though is the customizable map regions so I can include only what I need.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bittermormon:
great! does it allow you to change it from within the software like TT does, or do you have to rotate the screen in WM5 before loading it up? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm pricing out bundles from Semsons and just wanna know what I'm getting into.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] the_flames:

Does iGuidance have UK Maps?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] theunforgiven:
IGuidance, even though it is slightly slower than tomtom, Is a lot nicer, but i will definatly have to go back to tomtom unless i can make iguidance not turn off the screen. With tomtom (.21) it kept the screen on so i could glance at it and see wtf was going on. With iguidance the backlight keeps going off and makes it impossible to read without really moving it close to my face. Is there any way around this? I have crawled all of the menus in iguidance. I would REALLY love to use iguidance all the time but it is a PIA when the screen keeps turnin off.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] xdaer:

I am using Iguidance for North America but I would also like to know, does Iguidance have UK maps?

Any info please
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shogunmark:
thats why i just leave mine plugged into the car charger.. solves that issue :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wgary:
First off, I have been using iGuidance for several years and have seen it steadily improve. The latest version has a number of substantial improvements: Displays more information at once. Better zoom in/out. Better menu system. At a $9 upgrade fee, I was pretty happy!

Now, as for the screen going dark, I think this is a function of whatever settings you have set in the control panels. I use PhoneAlarm and have a "Car" setting in which it never shuts off when on my charger.

And a question: Since I installed the latest version, it seems to talk like this: "Turn... right... in... 500... yards." That is, it enunciates each word well but with a sizeable pause in between words. Also, I installed to Storage Card, I wonder if that might be causing problems.

Otherwise it works great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bratag:
Mine does the same thing - though it seems to only be sometimes, I think the issue stems from the fact that it is basically looking up the word to say from a list of them, the ole wizard isnt exactly speedy - its a heck of a lot better when I OC to 252. Iguidance all the way. TomTom may be slightly prettier but has no more features and I love the fact that I load only the maps I need. If I live in NY why the hell do I have to have the entire map of Ohio or Colorado etc loaded? Its not like I am going to wake up one morning and find me and my car in them.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] LordPhong:
I read this problem on their site. I'm not going to go looking for the link again but if you turn off the data connection (EDGE or GPRS) it will work fine. I do this whenever I'm using iGuidance and now it speaks fluent English.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] SeanH:
On the 8125 I go to connection manager and first click the icon to turn off push email. Then I click on the GPRS icon to turn that off also. Then it seems to work ok. Very often the 8125 will automatically turn the radio back on. If it does that I go back and turn it off while driving to get the voice back to normal.

It does seem odd that iNav did not try their software on a Windows Mobile before shipping it.

[Xperia Z Accessories] WIL993:
Hi,

I currently use my Xperia Z in my car with an App Radio 2 (with ARLiberator) everything is great about the setup, apart from the fact MHL does not charge at a high enough rate to maintain battery (it slowly dies), when running bluetooth, gps and music.

I have tried numerous fixes, from fast charge kernels to different chargers and mhl adaptors. Nothing can give me what I am after.

So my solution:

Similar to the quick charge mods seen here I would like to build a docking solution that allows me to charge via pogo pins but at the same time allows access to the micro usb/mhl port...

In theory this should work, however since mhl forces 'usb charging' speed when plugged into the micro usb port, will I still have the same issue or will the dock charging take priority and allow me to charge at higher (AC Charging) rate whilst also allowing MHL output?

n.b. obviously I still intend to power the mhl adapter via micro usb cable.

I will document how this goes here once I actually start building it.

Any input or help would be great!

Many thanks,

Will

i rebooted, cleared cache, dalvik too

but still the mobile network is not working

sim card is totally working fine for making calls and receiving one

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brian D:
I don't think just rooting the tab is going to effect anything. I think you may have also loaded a rom from one of the developers. However, if all you did was root the tab then unroot back to original firmware. The reason I say you have added a different rom is your comment about the "stock experience". Just rooting does not change the "stock", it merely allows you to do things you normally would not do.

I recommend you go back to stock OEM until you find the cause of the problem.

The thread i was talking about it this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2128848

I personally recommend a custom rom over amazon os so that tutorial could be useful to you in the future should you decide to flash a custom rom on it. There's a link towards the top that goes to the site where you get the fastboot adapter.

Alright and secondly you will need this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096888

Read its instructions or you might have issues. Also when you plug in your kindle with the fastboot adapter it will show up as a tate device in the device manager, download the drivers in my signature and extract them somewhere on your computer, then in the device manager right click the tate device and hit update drivers and choose a place to search for them and choose where you extracted my drivers and it should install the drivers. If you are on windows 8 you will have to disable driver signature enforcement first though. Once drivers are working you should be able to restore with kffa.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:
well i ordered the fastboot adapter and it does go into fastboot mode but i have tried a few utilities and they all seem to blow right threw the process. its like it seeing the phone but not doing anything. the only thing i can think of is USB debugging was not turned on and that may be why i cant get it to act right. of course i cant turn it on cause i'm stuck at the logo so is there a way around that or is there a program like Samsung has called Odin that i can use to flash stock everything on?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
Nonono. Adb has nothing to do with fastboot. Adb commands can't even be used with fastboot, only fastboot commands can. Try opening a command prompt that's cd'd into a directory with fastboot in it (kffa or SRT) and run "fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product", if it reports back something then we can establish that fastboot is atleast working.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyx2:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
well the good news is that means fastboot is working, it only is called a tate device in the device manager initially, once you isntall th edrivers it will show up a s a adb interface which is confusing becuase you don't use adb with fastboot. Anyways you should be able to attempt manualyl flashing the device from that command prompt now using certain commands like

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash <partition name> imagename

so something like

fastboot -i 0x1949 flash system system.img

it could be that kffa failed to retreive the files or something so it dint flash, sometimes its download links don't work, try srt i think linear posted the link to it, it might actually work out of the box.
