[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelotinti:
My Nexus screen crashed when I sadly droped it to the ground.

So, i'll buy a new replacement screen and change myself.

I just looked at ebay and it has lots of sellers of OEM LG Original Screen replacements, but they all send from China.

Is that right? I mean, it will really be original parts from LG?

Can I trust them?

Also, my Nexus 5 is the white version, but I saw I can change the battery cover, and i thinking of buying a new one in Red color.

Should I be worried about changing the back cover? Some compability problem between versions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CitizenLee:
I've bought plenty of phone stuff from China and most of it is legit... in fact, even the stuff sold as not from China probably still came from China originally. As for the cover, there is no difference other than colour so you will be fine if you want to change to red ;)
[General Questions and Answers] laddken:
hey every one, kinda new to rooting and loading custom roms, but do understand the general gist of things.

so with that being said, im kinda lost on what to do or how to fix my issue.

first my phone.

HTC one M8 for Verizon.

ok my issue.

I have s-off and twrp all ready installed on my phone. When I go to upload a custom rom for some reason I loose cellular and wifi function once the roms are loaded and operating properly, I have tried playing with the network operations. ive looked to make sure the |ME| is still there and it still shows what stock rom states when roms are uploaded. I thought that there was an issue with the roms them self and have loaded multiple times. however same out come every time. im at a hard point and a rock on what to do next. ive tried searching threw the forums and even off google. not finding much to get further. the two roms. ive tried where latest versions of NV projects and Viper One.

I propose a bounty to anyone who develops an Xposed module to modify the Runtastic app to include an always on mode AKA low power mode.

I'm pretty sure the only reason this was never made was because it was not available in the SDK when runtastic made this app at launch of SW2. It's pretty much abandonware at this point and I can only imagine it's a very very easy mod that only requires a couple new lines of code to trigger low power mode.

Bonus points if you pledge to maintain the app in the event future runtastic updates break the module.

I'll contribute $10 via paypal to the pot or $13 via bitcoin address (incentive to get people on the bitcoin train).

Please pledge more cash to pay modders for their work.

This guy didn't do it for Runtastic, but for Strava, but maybe we can convince him to simply add functionality to upload to Runtastic too?

I can't post links , but search in the play store for : Ghostracer :Real-time Segments (developer = Brave the Skies )

It is a standalone app on your phone and pretty much does what all these other apps do, main thing is you link your Strava account to it and it will upload it there when you're done. Works perfectly for me, got the low power mode, customizable stats to display on the smartwatch , no more button pressing mid-run nonsense.

Oh and it's free..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJNoff:
Since the OTA Kitkat (4.4.2) update of my stock Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545), when I use the voice-to-text microphone button (Google voice typing) on the stock Samsung keyboard, it does not pause music played by Play Music or Pandora as it used to. I've been through troubleshooting with Samsung and VZW Support, including:

- Clearing cache for S Voice, Google Voice, Samsung Keyboard

- Testing in Safe Mode

- Performing a hard reset of the device

The music pauses for half a second and resumes with the mic active... not cool when listening to music and want to use voice to answer a text message.

VZW last said they want to discuss replacing the phone, but before I go down that rabbit hole, does anyone have any ideas on what to check or change to fix this?

[G3 General] Epix4G:
Still, LG hasn't outed official talk, standby, browsing and video playback times yet, so we can only guesstimate the battery life of the G3 to be pretty good, based on some tangential proof from improvised battery tests that are popping up.

First off, a prototype version of the phone has been put through its paces, and the phone lasted six and a half hours of video playback on a charge, as you can see from the screens on the right. That might seem average, but the test has been done at the screen's*maximumbrightness, which*LG officially pegs at 430 nits, instead of the usual 150 or 200 nits, so the result from standardized routines like our own battery test, are likely to be much higher.*

Also so the test was at basically 2× brightness of a normal screen. ... so at lower brightness it should do very well

[G3 General] jeyd02:
Is it really nice to always have a secondary batt and most time having to turn off phone then replace. I quite don't like that and I don't see that very cute at all. Maybe it's how I feel but that for me just seems not right.
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
I would totally have taken a 3500mAh stuck battery like in G2(not impossible to remove after some years) instead of 3000mAh removable.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
How about we first get the phone and test it ourselves?
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
I never said 3000mAh isnt enough, but 3500mAh would last longer and most people dont run around with an extra battery in their pocket even if they can. Saving 1-2 hours of work to replace a battery like in the G2 after 1-3 years isnt really that much.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Just the same way you are thinking, don't you think that LG thought of that?
[G3 General] wargreymon89:
Of course they did, but they are catering to the people who are stuck in the old days when smartphones didnt last as long and batteries died much faster. Sure batteries degrade still, but if they hold longer between the charges and with more improvment it would be years between needing to change it. LG did the right thing with G2, but people arent smart enough to see it, so LG had to go back to the old ways to win the heart of the stuck.
[G3 General] jeyd02:
Okay, what I'm saying is if they have thought then it'll make no sense for that regard. If so, then the 3000mAh batt along with their Optimization makes it enough to have that battery.

Like for example, there are different desktop power supplies but some of them are different quality. A 3 star 1200w quality desktop supply could be equivalent to a 5 star 800w quality supply.

That looks like light use to me. The only screen time from your example that would push gpu is web use. User and review reports have so far been consistent that heavier screen on use (that leverages gpu) is two hours less life than the G2 and comparable devices.

Seems that warmer ambient temps will be an issue with the G3...... Who am I kidding? Warmer ambient temps are an issue with all newer devices. That said, the Qhd will make it more toasty.

Auto. so it depends on ambient light... I am using AOSP rom and the brightness is a bit different from LG ROM, it varies in a greater range.

Don't misunderstand me, G3 battery life is in no way bad. It must be better than my old S4 , or N5, etc. But its definitely not as good as G2 because G2 is almost insane.

And the problem is once you are used to the insane battery life on G2, it is hard to accept a downgrade anymore...

Maybe the swappable battery helps, who knows....

Battery drain could be different. Baseband and frequencies are not exactly the same here and there and could impact in battery drain. So, i would say, yes, we need to wait a bit for users to share battery experience with European models to confirm expectations.

Some battery optimizations will also come from custom roms optimizations (god bless developers - and users who make donations :)

But, it seems battery in G3 is not going to better than G2. Lets wait to confirm how far it is...

Based on the reviews, if they weight heavy with call time and local video, the battery lasts longer or equal to other devices. If the review weighs heavy with web and apps (both use the GPU, but local video does not), the battery life is two hours less than similar devices.

Same chip family as the G2 28nm and Qhd with 5.5" display. How would it not be less? That is unless folks have bought into the marketing talking points. The same people that said the micro sd is expandable to two terabytes ;) LG really did say and post that in specs.

[G3 General] rushless:
One of the reviews touted was Phone Arena for battery life. They have updated the review since was an error. So far, every review that actually mainly leverages the GPU for testing shows significantly less battery life than other devices while reviews that weigh heavy with calls and local video shows great battery life. If a lighter user, those reviews should fit and if a heavier user, the reviews that tested more web and apps (gpu hit) should fit better. Point is this device or any other has no magic for great battery life. Same 28nm chip, but higher res 5.5" display.
