[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaintCity86:
I would def root and boot it right away. Thanks for all the info though. I really don't like kitkat and am still running JB cuz of it. That dl booster seems awesome though. Cuz I get about anywhere from 1.5 - 3 megabytes per second dl speeds from both my 4glte and my wifi at home. Theoretically, using both could get them up to 6mbps. Which would be highly beneficial to someone like me.

I'll wait till the s6 it seems. Or just keep the S4 for good and get a newer iPhone.

Hmm.

Does anyone know if it's possible to make voice calls and send texts from strictly wifi. On a phone without any service, only connected through wifi?

I've never messed with it, but is that Google Voice? Ive thought about getting an iPhone too for the versatility of having both. But I'd be using my S4 as a wifi hotspot when needed, and connecting the iPhone to that wifi. Then if I could make unrestricted voice calls for free over the wifi, I'd be set.

I wonder if that's how google voice works, I've never had the need to try it.

Contemplating getting the S5....
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msavic6:
I have messed around with Fongo for WiFi calls. They provide you with a local number for free and people can call that number as well since it isn't a generic 1-800 number. Text messaging is a paid add on for the app but calling is 100% free.

Call quality was surprisingly not bad, it is probably very highly dependent upon Internet connection but I was able to make calls using hotel and coffee shop WiFi networks so I was pleased.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Artisto:
I perfectly know that topics like "What is the best ROM" are forbidden here, but I hope this one won't be like that.

I'm getting a little bit bored with stock 4.1.2 JB. This iteration of Android is really old, and day after day it's getting older. And there's virtually no chance for the official update. That is the reason I'm considering installation of KitKat-based ROM.

But what I'm concerned about is battery life.

I can get about 3,5 hours of the on-screen time on stock JB. I have EcoMode toggled on and CPU set at 640MHz

I want to know if custom ROMs tend to have worse battery life or rather are capable of increasing it? If I'm going to get worse battery life after installing custom ROM, then I'd rather stay on stock JB.

And what about "brick"? Can you really brick your phone so badly, that there's no chance for it to be fixed?

And the last question - what's the difference between "Optimus 4X HD Android Development" and "Optimus 4X HD Original Android Development" ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
If you'd consider to search you could get the answers to those questions quite easily.

The battery can be worse but also better than stock. Depends on your settings and your knowledge (or ability to read).

Yes you can brick a device to a point of no return, but that's nearly impossible with our 4X HD.

The optimus android development is rather for ported roms and no original developed code I think.

But you can read that in the stickys of the android development section.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datacrime:
Hello everyone,

I am using the T315 as a phone and am having problems with reception. I notice that if I have network mode to GSM/WCDMA (auto connect) I get better reception and more bars. If I switch to LTE/GSM/WCDMA(auto connect) my internet is faster but I do not get as many bars and the reception is not as good. Any idea on how I can resolve this? I want to use LTE all the time but not if the reception is bad.

BTW I am using the stock ROM 4.2.2

Thanks in advance!

This topic really belongs under Android Development and Hacking > Miscellaneous Android Development, but I don't have permission to post there, so I'm posting it here.

I want more people to look like my stackoverflow question, because I'm not getting hits and could use some help:

stackoverflow.com/questions/23671588/android-simulate-touch-screen-presses-with-precise-timing-overcome-resource

Details are in the link.

Basically, I want to simulate hundreds of screen presses in order and timing precision within +/-100ms. The problem is that executing hundreds of sendevent commands causes lagging so that I'm not getting the 100ms precision that I need. I want to know what's causing the lag and how I can overcome this problem.

[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
I read somewhere that when the phone first came out, you have to enter your pattern to unlock the phone after you said a touchless command to the phone. I then read that Motorola released an update that allows you to have Google application over the lockscreen so that you can use Touchless controls without having to unlock your pattern lock-protected phone.

Is this the case? I can't seem to find any threads online confirming the efficacy of the update.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPlX:
After installing Android 4.4.2 onto my Razr M (183.46.10.XT907.Verizon.en.US), whenever a sound is played after a period of silence. The

speaker makes a popping noise. This isnt too major of an issue, but I am wondering if it may be a simple setting issue or a problem with the update? Either way is there a known workaround to an issue like this?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seriiez:
I tried KitKat last night and had this even when my phone was on complete silent, It didn't matter if I played anything or not. I also noticed when I was texting someone if I left it open in their text when they replied it would do it also. Another thing for me was the volume lowers itself when playing music (Pandora/Google Play). I turned off the EQ, thinking it might be that, but it didn't do anything. I don't know if that is a feature of KitKat couldn't find anything on it, but I'm back on JB for now.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shnish:
I have this issue too and would really like a fix. I don't think a factory reset would help. When i plug headphones in, the popping stops completely.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
Yeah ditto. No biggie but they definitely have a bug that submits noise to the speaker.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shnish:
Every time there's sound, the popping happens. If I play a song, before the song starts playing it starts popping. I think it's more than just noise being submitted because of touch input.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPlX:
Well after no official response for a few days here, I've contacted Motorola customer support to see if they

Possibly told the low level support about a potential fix. Unfortunately no luck.

The interesting thing is that my family all use the RAZR m and all 3 phones have one form or another of the speaker issue.

I am still in warranty and have been offered to send it in for replacement/repair.

Thoughts? I am not sure if replacing the phone(s) will do any good.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shnish:
I doubt replacing it will do anything unless you can somehow get the unlocked developers' version. This seems to be an issue with the rom, not the phone itself.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPlX:
Funnily enough I decided to try replacing it and the phone arrived the day this message was posted. The replacement did solve the issue... mostly.

I hear a faint two click/pops on sounds but they are so faint that you can only hear them in a quiet place with your full attention.

Fix for unlocked bootloader only!

Boot images for XT926 and XT907 stock kitkat:

XT926: http://d-h.st/vre

XT907: http://d-h.st/KXA

Both boot images contain the recompiled stock kitkat kernel with increased sleep time after lineout PA enable, as in this commit: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/1212f2e043341016cacd6b0d93435380750bd78e

To be flashed via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot bootXT926speakerfix.img

or

fastboot flash boot bootXT907speakerfix.img

Please note that I don't own xt926 nor xt907, so I can't verify that the boot images boot at all, nor that they actually fix the issue.

(xt897 haven't got an official kitkat update yet, and it's possible that it won't happen for Photon Q at all.)

Be prepared to flash the stock kitkat boot.img in case of a failure if you're going to test this. You've been warned.

Please let me know how it works for you, thanks.

[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
If I set my phone's ringer to "Vibrate" or "Silent" and I accidentally trigger my Touchless control, will the phone make a noise? For example, if I am sitting in class or in a test, I would hate for my phone to accidentally make sounds.

Is the sound of TC tied to the phone ringer volume or the phone's media volume? If it's tied to the ringer volume, I can quickly silence it when needed by just using the volume rocker buttons right? If it's the latter, I have to go into the volume settings and change the media volume to silent?

(Google Now used to be tied to the phone's ringer volume; it is now tied to the phone media volume. Any way to change this too?)

Go to Toucless Controls in settings and uncheck "Launch Phrase Sound". That way it won't been when you trigger it.

Mine also triggers frequently at the mall.. gonna try re training it. Given, I did trick it to activate on "Ok Google" instead of "Ok Google Now" lol.
[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
However, after you launch it, if the phone continues to pick up words and decides to start googling or calling someone, it will still continue to make noises.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Do you, or the people at the mall you go to, walk around saying "OK Google now"?
[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
I think sometimes it may jut trigger from ambient noises. Still, there are situations when you absolutely do not want to risk your phone going off: interview, movie theatre, exam, etc... I know you can shutdown the phone, but that can sometimes be inconvenient.

Speaking of which, is there a reboot function anywhere? I can only find power off. It's sometimes annoying when you want to reboot your phone and walk away and come back, but now you have to wait for it to power off and then manually power it back on again.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I've not had my phone, ambient noise or otherwise, respond and start doing touch less controls unless I've said OK Google Now. I'd be interested to know why yours does. i.e. can I make mine more sensitive? (because sometimes it doesn't even respond when I say OK Google Now)

As for reboot... I'm not aware of anything on the stock X. If you are rooted, there are Xposed modules to give you the "4 option power menu" thing of the old days.. And there are apps like Quick Boot (Reboot) which will reboot your phone normally (works like power off/on reboot), to bootloader, to recovery, or to power off.
[Moto X Q&A] jamesino:
Ah I see, thanks.

Is there any reason why Google took away the 4 power menu option and took away the Reboot option from the power menu?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I don't know. I had HTC for a while there, and thought it might have been an HTC Sense thing, or an added hack that I did.

I know there was a "restart" option on the menu, but it didn't shut down and reboot the phone, it just restarted some of the services/features, not a true reboot.
[Moto X Q&A] scorpion667:
Nop. Yesterday it was happening while I was on the bus in the back seat which is in front of the engine. No one was talking.

Like I said, it's because I tricked it to record my launch phrase as "Ok Google" instead of "Ok Google Now". If I do it the proper way I don't have issues.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] orock:
These are applications and settings meant for auto install...

The items found in the HTC extended ROM are simply programs and settings meant to be installed automatically after a hard-reset. These programs, I believe, have been kept seperate from the main ROM in order to keep the Main ROM clean, small and responsive, while granting flexibility of choice to end users.

Thus, users may decide what to and what not to install.

Maybe some of the forum Gurus have a better knowledge of that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] ultramag69:
Right about all except the for this -

"I believe, have been kept seperate from the main ROM in order to keep the Main ROM clean, small and responsive, while granting flexibility of choice to end users.

Thus, users may decide what to and what not to install"

It doesn't allow you the choice of what to install, it installs it automatically as a part of the rom (called "customisation"), you can't remove these programs and apps. They are generally carrier specific settings and apps that are generally refered to as "bloatware" and are generally hidden so they can't be removed.

ALL cooked roms are generally devoid of these settings and apps but chefs can add their own special blend of apps to a ROM they cook.

I prefer the big storage ROMs as they give me more flexibility to install or remove apps as I like and as most BS ROMs are UC compliant (user customisation) I can setup up what apps are installed on the device at startup and remove at will if an app becomes a nuisance. All UC apps are installed on the device memory, like an extended ROM, not the sd card.
