[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
What is especially strange is it appears you're on WiFi, and yet both the voice and data connection seem to be causing the largest drain here.

Tap the graph so we can get an idea of what the awake times and signal strength was like.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frag2:
I have a similar gripe and I pinned mine down to stupid photos uploading overnight via wifi and a bunch of other wifi related crap....pretty much network things causing battery drain. also the auto update's killing it for google play stuff.

I found that switching to dalvik and back to ART [which i was on] helped a bit though i supposed there's a process running somewhere in the background that's buggy...here's hoping 4.4.x fixes it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
Switch to ART cleared it for me

I also saw the same. Turning off functions, etc. had no effect, but switching form Dalvik to ART did. I'm guessing that the change probably cleared something in the OS that was actually causing the problem. Note that the reported sources of battery usage are almost the same in both images, even though battery usage rate is vastly different.

I've attached two screen shots before and after the runtime switch. The red arrow on the before image is when I made the runtime change.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smakcruiser:
This is a shot from last night. I went to bed with about 50% battery life and woke up with a dead phone. Looks like cell signal maybe...

I am already using ART, but maybe I should switch back to dalvik and back to art like someone suggested earlier.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc monkeyballs:
I've noticed more battery drain as well as reduced cell signal. My phone is losing connection in areas where I'd previously have 1-2 bars. I was thinking T-Mobile was changing things on their towers, but I'm starting to see other Nexus 5 owners complaining about it as well. Did they update something in the background on our phones?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
You REALLY need to get Gsam and take some screens from it after a night. The stock battery usage screen shots say very little of use.

Otherwise we're are all just guessing here. ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
It's worth a shot, and I, for one, am curious to see if it helps.

FWIW, I just noticed that my battery usage is increasing significantly again. So, I may try the same thing if it persists.

I'd say there is definitely a bug somewhere, possibly interacting with an app or a subset of apps. Are you using Tasker, by any chance?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
Good point.

As I noted in my previous post, my phone started chewing battery again yesterday. No evident trigger, battery usage rate just went up abruptly. I recharged the phone and then left it asleep over night. Images below captured this morning.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Obvious culprits are WiFi and radio. Check in gsam (might be too late if you charged) for kernel Wakelocks. Or try wakelock detector app.

You could have a WiFi issue caused by other devices on your network. Would have to search on that for causes and cures. I'm not sure. I only know its been an issue.

And you appear to have no radio signal at all. If you go in to radio screen from main gsam screen, it will tell you your time searching for signal. That can destroy battery life.

It doesn't seem to he an app. Or general held awake time...as you have hardly any.

Putting phone in airplane mode over night would prove its WiFi or radio.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

If a night of airplane mode is no better, then its a rogue app. That you'd need to track down. Process of elimination style.

But its probably either WiFi or radio signal. I guess if you have location service on, it could be adding to the trouble.

Turning off WiFi would show if its WiFi....or radio. But with very poor radio signal....I know you're battery will take a beating anyway.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
What's puzzling to me is that it was not an issue until a week ago, then converting to ART made it go away temporarily.

My radio signal is poor, but it's always that way at home. I definitely plan to see what airplane mode does. Will report results.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smakcruiser:
These images are from last night. I went to sleep with about 55 percent and woke up with 31%. The screenies are from betterbatterystats. Maybe you guys see something...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
Definitely radio in my case

kj2112, you were right on. :good:

Running in airplane mode removes all serious battery drain on my Nexus 5. If I turn WIFI on, there is only minor battery usage. I've installed OpenSignal and will try monitoring radio reception vs. battery drain.

I'm still puzzled by the sudden onset (could be a problem with my nearest tower, I suppose), and the fact that switching from Dalvik to ART dramatically improved battery life for a few days. That's hard to link to the poor cell signal.

I'm still suspicious that there is a software component, that may or may not be interacting with my cell signal strength.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike585:
Follup up / more info

Based on posts on other forums, I tried excluding LTE from my preferred network types, and my battery usage improved dramatically. If I choose 3G, signal strength is 2-3 bars. 2G gives me 4-5 bars. With LTE I get 0-1 bars - mostly 0. On 2G my battery life is the best I've ever seen

My suspicion is that the sudden change I saw was caused by a change in the way the radio software selects network speed options. It appears that if the preferred network type selected is LTE, the phone now will expend maximum effort continually to connect to LTE, even if there is no useful signal available. Before the change, it's likely that a stronger LTE signal was required before the phone would attempt a connection.

I'm not sure if the OS determines where that set point is located or if it's something the carrier can control. If it's the carrier then maybe the Nexus 5 has a radio that isn't as efficient as other phones, and the current algorithm is pegged to the best case phone.

If anyone knows how to adjust the conditions for attempting to connect to LTE or has any ides about who does control it, I'd definitely like to know. For now, I set my phone to 2G or 3G when I'm in a poor LTE reception area (which with T-Mobile is most of the time). That actually works okay for me, but I doubt it's a solution for everyone.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
I have a N900W8 from Rogers in Canada and was wondering if there are any kernels people would recommend to use

Preferably some for AOSP and others for Touchwiz as I flash back and forth

I have found a few kernel threads but its never too clear if my device is supported or not

Thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaganmohal:
You can use any t mobile (N900T) kernels. I prefer lean kernels
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrawnToLife:
Yeah, any N900T kernel is fine. I use Civato's SneakyKat kernel personally.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fidorulz:
Thank you both for the info. Im never sure when I get a new device what works and what wont work.

As for the ROMs is it the same thing?

Can international ROM work as well like on my galaxy S4 just need to flash a kernel?
[Moto X Q&A] Rattles:
Hi Guys,

i know its a random question but i was wondering if it is possible to change the name that Touchless Control uses? Ok Google Now can't pronounce my first name so instead its simply spelling it out. i would like to change it to something else that it is can pronounce but so far i have been unable to find out how to do that.
[Moto X Q&A] kcipopnevets:
You can try changing your name card. Pull down the notification shade, tap your name/profile icon, tap your name in the floating window, and tap the 3 dots to edit the name. I just tried and it's working fine.
[Moto X Q&A] Rattles:
Thanks but that didn't work for me. it is still using my full name. the funny thing is that it sometimes pronounces it right and sometimes it doesnt.
[Moto X Q&A] kcipopnevets:
Hmm. Try deleting your "me" contact card and make another one. It must be sourcing from your accounts.
[Moto X Q&A] Dark9781:
If you use G+ you can change your profile name within the app. It will update on all your Google products. The OK Google Now feature pulls your name from your Google profile.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
I'm looking for a flashable zip of 174.44.1. I'm on the latest stock, rooted firmware but my phone is really slow lately. I want to flash the stock firmware, rather than do a factory reset, so I can keep root.

I did a search, and found a thread with the OTA, but I'm hesitant of flashing it, as the file is only 10mb.

Can anyone point me in the direction of the file I am looking g for, if it exists?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padhu1989:
You cannot flash the firmware using custom recovery.. Why because during the flashing process, all recoveries, system data, etc needs to be deleted.. That's y..
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kafepuya:
Thanks for replying. I didn't know I wasn't possible to flash stock firmware with a custom recovery.

This is my first Motorola device, all prior devices have been Samsung. For my last one (SGS 3), there were stock flashable zips I could use to return to stock, and some of the stock zips even let you keep root.

I wanted a flashable zip because I will be on the road for the weekend. I guess I will use the Moto G tool to return to stock once I get back home.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
After installed few apps to the new oppo find 7a, the memory in use constantly stay at over 1GB and only 300-400MB available. anyone else has the similar issue? even close all the recent apps doesn't seem to increase the memory available. is it ROM/OS related issue?
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Morak75:
I got 1,23Go RAM used for 542Mo available after clearing recent apps.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] seanpr123:
This is a common misconception, but on Android unused memory is wasted memory. It's good to have that being used by Android daemons running in the background as it speeds up processes and user experience.

I'd say don't worry about.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
thanks for the reply. it's just my OCD...i always wanna see more memory available than in use...:p
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
Just as Sean said, unused ram is useless ram.

It's all about access speed, the more data you store in ram the more content is quickly available.

Flash memory has an average transfer rate of 5 to 7mb/s while ram has an average transfer rate of several gb/s.

The difference in speed here is very noticeable and the main reason why recent android versions (or Linux in general) caches so much data in ram.

Long story short, the more ram is in use, the faster your phone gets.

400mb is basically the safety threshold that it keeps unoccupied just to be sure it has some left in case of an emergency (you trying to open content that isn't already cached).

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] Hellscythe:
If I don't reboot my Xperia Z for a few days it ends up with like 170mb of free ram and loses its power to multi task and the phone because laggy as hell lol >_>
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] MrColdbird:
That's a different issue I would say.

The services occupying the ram should give up caching memory once a newcomer requires ram.

This changes nothing about the fact that, if it's done right, caching is the way to go.

Probably a bugged software component rather than an broken ideal.
[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] crisahan:
after 2-3 days of use, i find that the free (unused) RAM are actually not a problem, doesn't matter there is 300MB left or 600MB left, i can hardly tell the difference. but the most important thing is, the experience is very smooth and running well, no laggy. i'm actually very impressed. i think OPPO did a great job on managing background apps and optimizing user experience on the find 7a here!

Any idea if screen protectors for the original Z tablet are going to fit on the Z2?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] elbello:
Go with Tempered Glass Protector!

I personally bought this from ebay: H1 Ultra Thin Clear Tempered Glass Film Protector F Sony Xperia Z2 10.1" Tablet

I have put it on my z2 and it looks great and I have the extra protection.

I actually didnt think these tempered glass were really what they say they are, but this weekend, my phone, z1s fell and had a crack on the screen. I was so upset! :crying: But when I inspected it closer, I noticed the crack was on the tempered glass I have on it!!!! :victory: so it really did work and absorb the break. So that $10 glass saved me a bunch of money!!

So if you dont have one, think about getting one. Well worth the $15 you pay for.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] LitoNi:
screen protectors for Xperia Z tablet works on Xperia Z2 tablet, im using it on mine atm. it fits perfectly if youre still wondering .
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] wintermute000:
anyone got any suggestions for matte ones?

I bought an ebay cheapie. It works re: anti glare and has actually really helped the fingerprint magnet factor / made the surface 'slide' better, but it has a weird polarising effect that's clearly visible as a sort of strange colour/pattern overlay, so on the fence about whether it was the right move or not...

On the first Sony Tablet S there was an official screen protector that had all the anti glare properties but didn't show a funny pattern, I'm looking for basically that effect.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] WarCow:
I bought this tempered glass screen protector from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191544717348?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Not too expensive and it arrived very fast from Hong Kong (1 week) and in a crazy overdone packaging. It was inside a large foam box, so no chance of it breaking in shipping :)

It comes with a wet and dry wipe and installation is like every other glass screen protector. It was a bit tricky to get it on, since it's so large, but I managed on my 2nd try. I'm pretty happy with it, no bubbles and no weird colors. I was hoping it would bring less fingerprints, but it seems to be about the same as without. The screen touch seems to be better though somehow.

Also keep in mind that the hole on the protector isn't for the front facing camera, but for the ambient light sensor! At first I thought I had received the wrong item :)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Accessories] SANGER_A2:
I recently changed from my normal plastic screen protector for a 0.3 MM glass screen protector and love it! Looks way better than plastic ones, resists scratches much better and I can slide my finger over it much more easily. Would definitely recommend a glass protector. Buy one for your phone to try it first if you're unsure as they do cost quite a bit more, but for phones aren't much more expensive than cheap plastic ones.

Hi guys,

I was trying different ROM's on my Universal today, to see what the different operators were offering. When I came across the Orange Today Plugin. I like the idea of it, but not the setup.

So, I was wondering if anyone here knew how to add, remove, or change the items in this plugin ?

I did a little search of the forum for an answer to this question, but it seems i'm looking to do the opposite to what everyone else is doing. :oops:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fallenczar:
re

could u be more specific...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZaForD:
In this screen dump, you can see the plugin.

I'd like to be able to change the selections and the links in each selection.

For example, change the five links in the Web selection of the screen dump to five of my own URL's.

Or better still, add or replace one of the selections in the plugin with one that points to My Device. That when highlighted would have links to 'My Docs' 'SD Card' 'Program Files' etc.

I hope that makes sence. :)

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZaForD:
Hi filippodisvevia,

It works on qtek 9000\jasjar\xdaexec so I think is good for t-mobile too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ZaForD:
Hi Guys,

That plugin is from the SPV M3100 and works diferently to the Universal version. See my post at the bottom of that link above.

If you want the proper Universal Today Plugin with bigger icons for the Universals bigger screen. You'll have to install the Orange M5000 ROM, as its built into it. Plus the Orange ROM has just been updated with a new Radio driver. :)

I'm using the new Orange ROM, with the last O2 Ext ROM, and the Signed_ORUK_HomeScreenReg.sa.CAB from the Orange Ext ROM as it has the Reg settings for the plugin. And everything is working great. 8)

I installed the cab posted and works fine on my wizard. Although u do lose all your other today plugin functionality. But the plugin is handy. even though limited in use.

I was thinking of finding some great developers on this site who would like to creat such a program but which could be used alongside the other today plugins. Anyone interested let me know.
