I suddenly lost the SYSTEM UPDATES menu under the ABOUT PHONE section. Anyone else seeing the same thing? Nexus 5.

---------- Post added at 11:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Noticed that uninstalling this release will remove the System Updates menu. If I reinstall 4.4.48, it comes back. Don't want to run this release as there is a huge battery draining issue. Back to 4.3 and no System Update menu.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] peecs121:
Can you just go back with no problems?

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ben36:
Turn off location. Reboot. Wait like 5 minutes. Turn location back on. I don't get play services location wakes doing this. It seems to only happen if location is available on boot (for me)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
so, for the past 2 weeks or so, my device has been constantly being woken up(see screenie #1). i did find out that it was google play services thats doing the waking. so ive tried everything to get it to stop. i have disallowed much of the services using the app ops included in lichtis rastakat, to no avail. ive even stopped getting google services and hangouts one day because of it. now, its not draining much battery, but it is draining some. so, yesterday i went a little more extreme. i installed a root app called "disable service" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.disableservice , and spent time playing with it yesterday. i ended up taking away google play services ability to use location(even though mine has always been off and i used app ops to disallow it)(see screenie #2). since then, no more wakeups! so it looks as the newer play services uses location constantly, even though you disable or disallow it.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
it rarely gets a market update. its usually updated ota, in the background, and installed without you ever knowing. thats also one of the jobs of google play services.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Candy[MAN]:
It is a market update...just hidden. Open this link on your phone and open it via Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms

That is how I updated mine to today's latest release 4.4.52.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
it doesnt open on my nexus 5 in the play store, only in the browser. but the link to it i know about, as ive had google play service play store updates before, but not recently. and my play services has been updated a few times, just not manually via me :)

i have huge battery drain from Android System with the new 4.4.52 play services.

its draining 8:30 minutes cpu per 10% of total battery.

just to compare, i reverted to play services 4.3.25 and it took for the same 10% battery only 4:00 cpu minutes.

however i cant launch google apps anymore as they require a newer play services version.

what to do????

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ntress:
I just read it but you guys said that 4.4.52 the battery drain fixed.

1. I gonna try this but just to let you know, my draining in battery stats shows as Android System and not Play Services.

2. You wrote it disables Google Now location but in my phone I don't even use Google Now so it disabled..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
its not really fixed in .52

and yea, if you did use location features in google now, they wouldnt work if you do whats suggested. if its android system, maybe its not google play services thats biting you?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ntress:
I believe it is, like I said after I reverted play service to version 4.3.25 my Android System cpu usage decreased by 50%!
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
damn. it sounds like it might be a combo of things then, including the play services.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ntress:
:/

Actually first after freezing apps and removing widgets I thought that the problem is Carbon Rom but after posting there someone said it is problem in all his devices with various roms that he tried..

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:36 PM ----------

I just flashed Validus rom and Android System draining the same.. maybe I'm in a placebo effect?

Can you tell me your Android System drain cpu time etc?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] simms22:
my android system usually takes about 10-15% of my battery. id say between 7-20% would be normal.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Ntress:
Can you please get inside the Android System and tell me the cpu time and your current battery percent?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aim-high-man-why-not?:
Hi guys.

Trying to hack my device and rewrite its bootloader to make a prototype for my project, but I'm new to this.

I already have root permission on ClockworkMod Android.

Initially I tried to reinstall OS to Android that I build from source code. But device hasn't got fastboot. So I decided to start from the bottom.

Current problem is that I have to locate UART on my device. Can't provide a photo of its board.

http:##s8.postimg.org#rqfzm4pdx#device.jpg

I read some articles about it and have prepared oscilograph and multimeter. But still, need some help.

Processor is AllWinner A13, have found its datasheet. UART RX and TX pins are 151 and 152, 125 and 124, 13 and 12, and I have no idea how to connect to it.

Could you give me some hints or useful links? Maybe some advice, please?

Thanks in advance.

Trying to analyze pins with mutimeter. Do I have to turn on the device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
Aaawwh, that's such an ugly board... (Compared to Oppo-7!)

Here's you pic.

You need the correct USB-to-serial cable, like those offered by FTDI R232Vxxx models. But you have to know what voltage to use!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aim-high-man-why-not?:
I've got this one too. I've borrowed it from someone, but I don't know how to use it yet.

I found these four pins strange (in attachment), and checked it with multimeter. Pins from top to bottom 1, 2, 3, 4.

1-2: 3.25V,

1-3: 3.25V,

1-4: 3.25V.

What can I do to be sure than these are right pins before I start soldering?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E:V:A:
^^ You don't solder anything. You only need GND attached + Rx to probe.

Those pins are probably not UART... No telling. What's on the backside?

I'm Julian from Belgium. Sorry for my bad english :)

I'don't find any solution for my troubleshooting! In November 2013, i flashed the GS3 from 4.2.2 to Cyanogen CM 10.2 (JB4.3).

All works except a problem with the microphone ! The sound was very poor , in whatsapp we can't understand because the sound is distorder ! After many search i decide to flash again to the stock Samsung 4.3 with succes and the problem with the mic disappeared.

Monday, i would try again the CM 11 because the stock samsung is TOO SLOW and i flash to CM11 , i'm happy but this problem with the mic STILL and i don't find any solution :(. I try snapshot version, nightly, nothing change ! I don't understand :(.

The call work fine, the voice is fine. I don't understand ! Is possible it's the KERNEL? My actual kernel is 3.0.64-CM-gc538f74. build 03 sun may 4 15:24:52 pdt 2014

I wish I had the answer for you. I have an issue with hearing with my bluetooth headset on the MDA as well. I have tried 3 different headsets and none were acceptable. They all had plenty of volume on my other phones.

I have done research and tried a lot of stuff, mostly in the HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN directory of the registry. No luck what so ever. I have also found that the BT range is relatively poor (1 meter) on the MDA. My other BT phones could get nearly 10 meters.

Hopefully someone that has a solution and will feel our pain and reply.

The C6503 has LTE bands also, just not the 1700 and 1900 MHz ones that AT&T and T-Mobile use in the U.S. And actually since the C6506 was certified first, for the first time it might get the update first. It doesn't matter, if the 6503 does we can just flash a 6503 .ftf and exclude the baseband.

When it does arrive, what is the best way to upgrade?

Having been a Blackberry user I am accustomed to upgrades leaving the phone EXACTLY as it was prior, apps, data, icons placements, all settings and preferences etc etc.

For a non rooted phone, what is the recommended method? Is it even possible not to have to go to a blank slate on a new OS?
[Sony Xperia ZL] Adilson Casula:
Personally, I think the best way is via OTA.

no crashes via the official upgrade when you're running in stock.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
That requires one to wait for the carrier to get push it though....which would be frustrating.
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
You can flash an FTF without wiping the data partition. I'm unsure as to your success with doing this, but it's possible.

IF you don't care about root, and if your locked boot loader (which it sounds like you are) then I'd either do OTA, or flash with flashtool and not wipe/format the data partition...
[Sony Xperia ZL] cwoodffr:
And if you do it without wiping the data portion does it keep all your settings, icon layouts etc?
[Sony Xperia ZL] scifan:
It should... no guarantee's though. :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] AndreIrawan97:
I really want to flash a custom rom, but i dont know how to properly do it...

Because last time i root my phone, it got bootloop... So... Yeah..

If you can unlock your boot loader, then you can play alot... otherwise you kind of are stuck with locked boot loader roms... (running the stock sony kernel)...

Hello XDA members, this is my quick review about Note 3 coming from S3.

Pros:

1- love the light weight

2- huge screen size

3- great display

4- spen amazing

5- blasting speed

6- excellent multitasking

7- love touchwiz theme

8- Battery life very decent

9- love faux leather

Cons:

1- Camera sucks in:

a- low light

b- no night mode

c- Camera has no unique filters unlike my S3 which had blue point filter and green point filter also cartoon & black and white which I find disappointing cause I use alot, found some filters in camera settings but they need to be downloaded and when I click download it just shifts me to samsung store and cant even find them there, really disappointing.

2- Sim card and SD card placement and removal in phone is extremely stupid in S3 was way better with spring to take them off in an easy way but here it sucks hard.

3- No page buddy?!!

For the speakers I agree they aren't loud, however; they are more or less nearer to stereo speakers than my S3's speaker which is nice.

Overall, this is what I expected from it except from camera part.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Destim:
Try to stick your sim card with a cellophane tape before removing.. It will be much easier to take it out :)

sorry for writing a certain rom related request in this category but rules are rules.

so after living 3,5 years happily with the stock rom for my desireZ, i decided to use a custom rom. i tried 4-5 roms and noticed that i cannot make it without sense. (I don't like change much) So i decided to use Gen.Y Vision R1.3 EXT4.

I'm currently using a 1600 mAh battery and with stock rom (build 2.42.405.5, kernel 2.6.35.10 and baseband 12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M) had near a 2 day long battery life. However after i installed Gen.Y, i couldn't even make a day with daily usage.

What i'm willing to know is there a better kernel (if it is kernel related) that i can use for a longer battery life?

OR i would like to try the Gen.Y Vision R1.2 (stock kernel @ 806 MHz, EXT3 System) but the link is dead. It would be appreciated if someone would upload it somewhere.
