[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinc3stylez:
I plugged in a 1 amp USB 2.0 charger before going to bed last night when the phone had about 30% of battery life. I've used this charger on my galaxy before and it charged to 100% without any hickups but the phone died on me tonight. What could have happened?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00202:
Oh I don't know....Maybe the fact you are using the wrong charger? Lol no but seriously.

The S5 has a 2800mAh battery that is configured to charge off a 2.0A brick. Using anything but can result in this type of behavior.

First off you totally cut charging time in half but using a 1.0A charger. Second, there could of been apps using battery all night. I'd stick to the charger the phone came with.

*EDIT* Other then that all I can think of is it fell out of the phone/wall overnight. Unless you got kids. I've woken up plenty of times to see my kids trying to guess my unlock code.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinc3stylez:
Thanks for your input but using a 1 amp charger should be more than enough to charge the phone regardless whatever background app is running. It may charge slower but there's a serious problem if the phone is discharging faster than that 1 amp charger could handle. I've used this charger for two weeks already and it worked fine until last night.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. bird:
Maybe the wire isn't working right. Maybe the wire just gave out. It's happened to me before. I woke up with my S4 one day not charged because the wire that came with the phone decided not to work anymore.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinc3stylez:
thanks! it was actually exactly what happened. I guess the wire is frayed on the inside because it wouldn't work at some angles.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifforama:
So, it looks like I won a phone through the unlimityourlg promotion.

The only problem is that it's on the Sprint Network, and I'm on Verizon.

One of the stipulations of the competition is that it has to be activated on the SPrint Network.

Can I do that, then cancel the service within 30 days and keep the phone ?

Has anyone else won one of these and done similar

I want the phone but don;t know if its compatible on Vrizon. It looks unlikely

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batmanforever69:
Hello. I'm new here, and I need help with this.

I have a Nexus 5 which I bought rather recently. I was finding the battery life pretty disappointing for a phone like this, so I decided to install the Franco kernel as a start. I installed it and all was working well till I tried to record a video. I can take pictures, panoramas and all, but I can't take a video. When I press the button to start the recording, it looks as though it has been pressed, but the recording doesn't start. I checked the thread to the Franco kernel, but I wasn't able to post because I'm a new member. This is why I started a new thread. I check Google and I was unable to receive a fix to this problem. Thus, I decided to take this problem to the XDA Experts. I should be posting in DevBB but I can’t since I'm a new member. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
Did you read the thread to see if others are having the same issue. I run franko r46 on the stock firmware and I don't have that issue. If you want to remove franko, flash the boot.img from the factory image or dirty flash the rom if you're on a custom Rom

Not just asking Z2, but for other android phones too. Just out of curiosity, how does it usually take for the xda devs to achieve root a phone without unlocking bootloader? I know it depends, but just wanted to get a general idea. Like it take 6 months for phone A, and 4 months for phone B. Is this period getting shorter, longer, or pretty much the same? Thanks.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] a771la:
i put autorun + config.txt in extrom and any other file in a folder on storagecard

then I have modified config.txt and in place of “CAB: \ Extended_ROM \ CameraWizard_BA26_TMO_WWE_Customize_RC23.CAB”

I have written “CAB: \ Storage Card \ ExtROMcard \ CameraWizard_BA26_TMO_WWE_Customize_RC23.CAB”

then I have created folder in the storgecard called “ExtROMcard”

and them I have put us the several one cab that I must install

all it seems to work:)

some suggestion?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Midget_1990:
depends what rom your using, but for example on helmi's rom the extrom folder in your SD card MUST be called 'EXTROM'.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] a771la:
ok but only because he write in cfg.txt " CAB: \Storage Card\ExtROM\Extrom_version.CAB"

if u want change the name of folder u must change the file cfg.txt :

CAB: \Storage Card\ExtROM\Extrom_version.CAB

CAB: \Storage Card\name-new-folder\Extrom_version.CAB

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

i return to 2003se ... i use this exended_rom for my 9090
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] helmi_c:
Two Important note (In my rom).

1. In my ROM I Use Cfg.txt not Config.txt

2. Location of Autorun.exe & cfg.txt has to be in \Storage Card\ExtROM\ (for standardisation purpose)

Location of the CAB is everywhere u want, its ok, as long u edit the cfg.txt that point to that CAB.

for ilustrating purpose this is the contain of my Cfg.txt:

LOCK:Enabled
SHOW:\Storage Card\ExtROM\custom.bmp

I removed the back cover, here how it looks:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posedatull:
Guys, at work two days ago my headphone cable got caught in someting, I didn't notice and moved fast, pulled kinda hard. The headphone's cable is pretty dead, but I honestly don't give a damn, they're more than replaceable, but the headphone jack in the phone seems a little bit loose now, and if I wiggle the (new) cable, sometimes it sounds really bad. My question is.. where could I get a replacement? Due to obvious Knox issues, I can't really go to the repair service for free, so I'd like to either find out if I have even the slightest chance in services to fix it (the ones I asked around said no...) or where to buy one, I could replace it myself, since I'm quite handy hardware (worked for a while as a pc tech repair, the screwdriver is basically an extension of my hand, and I've replaced many phone screens, I could manage). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] genco15:
Hı anyone port galaxy s5 systemui theme and weather for cm11?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
Is there a way to replace the default Samsung lockscreen on the Galaxy S5? I'd like to use Dashclock or the new Notify! lockscreen applications, but I can't figure out how to disable Samsung's.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xandlinger:
In Settings, Lockscreen, Screen Security, and then tap Screen Lock, choose none.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
That will allow me to use another third party lockscreen of my choosing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xandlinger:
The app itself will handle it from there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
This procedure does not appear to work. When I disabled Samsung's Lockscreen in the options, there is no option anywhere to let another app take over the task or securing the screen or displaying lockscreen notifications. I tried installing Notify! and DashClock and neither work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Xandlinger:
Are the apps supposed to be Lockscreen replacements? If you search the Play Store for Lockscreen replacements you can find a few.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
Yes. Both "Notify!" and "DashClock" are lockscreen / lockscreen widget apps that work fine with Nexus and other non-skinned Android devices. My question was how to disable Samsung's Lockscreen AND allow these third-party apps to take control over lockscreen functions, including displaying onscreen notifications and other information.

I've used these kinds of apps many times in the past, so I know what they do and how they function. The question is how to get them working with the Galaxy S5. Do you know how, or were you guessing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] byte9:
The GS5 lock screen does not allow widgets, not even the 5 shortcuts of TW past. It's ridiculous but not many people are crying about it since they at least left it minimally configured in a nice way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GeorgeP:
That is probably for security reasons. For anyone who wants to add widgets, the simple instructions provided by Xandlinger above work fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
The instructions don't work if you're trying to add lockscreen widgets such as Notify! or DashClock to the phone. I've tried it every which way. It seems the only lockscreen that can be used is the one Samsung provides with their UI.

I was just curious if someone knew a way around that. I guess we may have to wait until we can put a custom OS on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GeorgeP:
Works fine on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
Can you post a screenshot of your lockscreen with a third party app securing your phone so I can see? I would very much like to make sure we're talking about the same thing.

I think we may be confusing lockscreens with lockscreen widgets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] byte9:
[MENTION=2066676]spectrumfox[/MENTION] you're correct. It literally requires root to put a widget on the phones lock screen, be it via removing whatever their lock screen app is called or a new rom. It infuriates me but I don't hate the stock widget. :|

Love, from GS5 locked bootloader hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] spectrumfox:
Yeah, the stock lock screen isn't horrible and I can definitely live with it. I just wish it allowed us more freedom to display data we want on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] byte9:
You're telling me, it was a long slow frown that came upon my face as I realized it was not some hidden touchwiz menu, rather a missing feature. Again, for now it's whatever. I've grown to like the simplicity. Imagine being stuck with the "Life Companion" text of the GS4

Love, from GS5 locked bootloader hell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] csfile:
View attachment 2731340 this is widgetlocker with a dashclock widget and notify! Widget
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] byte9:
That's different, nobody likes widgetlocker. ;) Replacing the lock screen is plausible but that's never been a good solution because there is delay, it doesn't always hide the normal lock screen on boot and is just wonky.

Hello,

I'm considering to buy an HTC one , but the reviews on youtube on the battery life are holding me back, but I know there are custom kernels.

Can you guys tell me how good are your batteries and the kernel you use ?

Much appreciation.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbinder:
It's all use cases.

If I only need to use mine for the phone then it can last days. If I use it with WiFi and a ton of screen time it can last 18 hours. Super heavy use would be less, but I'd have it plugged in anyway. I custom kernel and use macros like a mofo to keep it all in check. It's fine. I can burn through any phone! ;)

I use elementalx, personally. Love it.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
HTC One's battery isn't that bad mate, I had an HTC One X before and that phone had a really bad battery, couldn't hold a charge for a day with the tegra 3 chip. I charge my HTC One once a day (before going to bed) and usually there still around 40% battery left for a normal day of usage. It all depend the usage you will do. If you want to play games for hours then yes you'll have to charge the phone more than once a day.

My battery(phone) is 1 year old and I'm using stock dev edition rom/stock kernel with power saver mode when not playing games.

Custom kernel will allow you to save more battery by undervolting/underclocking the cpu. You can also use Tasker to create power saver profile if you need to save more battery.
