[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
Hi,

my HTC One is a battery drinker.

I mount Viper ROM + ElementalX Kernel.

With 2G all time, 2 hours of WiFi and all extra off (gps, bluetooth, sync, widgets ecc) if i unplug it on 8 am he will live max untill 7 pm with mid usage,

The only apps that can eat my battery are: Facebook messenger, Couple, Go Locker, Twitter and the double tap to wake function.

I have to bring it to warranty?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
well you could try to pinpoint what app is taking so much battery first. Or at least go back to stock and see if its software related.... if you go back to 100% stock and your battery still drain that fast, then you can assume its a bad battery.

Try gsam from the playstore
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androiduserfan2:
I will try to bring it to stock!

But how i can restore it 100% as like new for bringing it to warranty?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] claudio.86.:
Hi Everyone!

I'd like to buy the Polar's H7 sensor to pair it with my z1 compact and to use it with the runtastic pro app. Though I'm not 100% sure if it's compatible.

In the official Polar's web page it says that it's compatible with the z1 (so I guess also with the Z1 Compact, but i'm suspicious about the fact that the Polar Beat app is not compatible with my device).

Did anyone already try it?

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] primalrunner:
Should work without any issues. My Z1c is still in transit but I am using Polar H6 with a 2 year old Samsung GS3 with 4.3 and it works great. I can confirm 100% towards the end of the week when Z1c arrives but I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't work. By the way, you can save a few € by buying H6 instead on H7. The only difference is compatibility with legacy Polar equipment and some gym machines.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] claudio.86.:
Thanks

Thanks for your answer.. I thought so too but I wasn't sure...btw the price difference now in the italian amazon is like 1€ between H6 and H7 :).

Keep me updated when your Z1c will arrive.

Cheers!
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] primalrunner:
Z1c is here. Connected my Polar H6 with Endomondo and it works like a champ. By the way, Polar Beat wouldn't install for me either now (version incompatibility) though it installed just fine before on the SGS3.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] dhchris:
Hello Claudio.

I've bought the H7 2 Month ago and at first i've got a few problems with connecting

the device. But actual I had no more problems with the firmware version .440 and .757 (KitKat).

The H7 works fine with Endomondo Pro and Runtastic Pro.

I hope I could help you.

Regards, Chris
[Xperia Z1 Compact Accessories] kanefan67:
I'am using the Polar H7 sensor in combination with the Polar Beat app and Endomondo for several month now.

Since the update of Polar Beat to 1.1.1 the Z1C is officially supported.

I still have trouble pairing the sensor with the phone. Most of the time if have to switch off/on bluetooth and or turn off/on the app.

Most of the time the heart rate pops up all of a sudden, but every now and then pairing fails totally.

Are people experience similar issues?

My phone runs 4.4.2

[HTC Inspire 4G] Santi871:
I have a rooted and bootloader-unlocked Inspire 4G. A few months ago, I had been using the MoKee 4.2.2 ROM for some time, and one day, my phone's screen simply froze. I thought I shouldn't be worried about it, so I pulled the battery off, slapped it back in and tried turning on the phone again. It never got past the MoKee loading screen. I tried charging it, leaving it to boot for hours but nothing.

Next, I tried rebooting into CWMrecovery to try different stable backups I had from some time before that happened. The backups restored successfully, but again, the phone stayed stuck in the loading screen. I tried the same with 4EXT Touch Recovery and wiping all the data before the backup, but still nothing worked.

Since I was too busy at the time to install a new ROM and flash a new boot image, I decided to put the phone away and use my backup Galaxy Ace. Today, a few months after that happened, I tried to boot the phone into bootloader and I can't even achieve that. Holding the volume down rocket and power buttons, the phone still boots normally and stays stuck on the loading screen.

What weirds me out the most is that this was all random--I did not drop the phone or did things to it that could break it.

I feel if I could get into recovery I'd be able to do something else about it.

Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BobSchmickle:
Me too

Weird, mine just did the same thing today. Crashed, had to pull battery, now stuck at Mokee. Tried clearing DC, cache, factory reset. No luck.

It was a few days ago that I’ve reviewed the brand new series of the great book / reference reader/browser TomeRaider and reported it being buggy.

Now, fortunately, this is no longer the case as can be seen for example in the following screenshot (I’ve searched hard to find any text with rendering errors – in vain):

All in all, NOW you may want to consider upgrading to the new version (as opposed to the original, 3.2.00 one) from the 3.1.xx series.

Unfortunately, the copy bug under WM5 still hasn’t been fixed.

(Thanks to AximSite forum member cjw for the heads-up! Incidentally, he has also noticed you can step over the history over hardware buttons – see the linked thread.)

Is there any safe to remove apps list floating around somewhere for the gs5. Wanna delete some un needed bloat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Anything tmobile related (TV, My account, visual voicemail, etc) are safe to delete. Other than that, anything that gives you an option to "turn off" in the app manager should be safe to disable. If the app is important (or if samsung just doesn't want you to disable it), the "Turn Off" button would be grayed out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
If you have an app like TiBu, try freezing n see if that effects. I feel this would be a comparatively safer way than deleting.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Russ77:
There are a lot of threads here and in the VZW forum about how terrible this device is, etc, without root. I'm a former flash-a-holic and my last several devices have all been Samsung on stock, albeit rooted, firmware. those of us preferring touchwiz have our reasons, and those who prefer aosp have theirs, but this isn't a "why we can't have aosp" thread, this is about making lemonade with what we have.

so, my reasons for wanting root, and how I worked around them:

1. ad blocking. I LOVE adaway, its seriously the first app I'd install on a new device after rooting. without root, give adblock plus a try. you can turn off the status bar notifications in the app and by ticking the box in the app manager.

its simple enough to disable apps on WiFi, just input the proxy host name and port and you're done. I hadn't ever found a clear and concise instruction on how to do this with mobile data, so here it is- create a NEW APN and copy all of the info from the stock APN, and add the proxy host name and port. done, you now have ad blocking on WiFi and mobile data, without root, and without persistent notifications.

2. de-bloating. first, the s5 has less bloat than the s3 or s4, but its still there. it is INCREADIBLY easy to disable or uninstall on this device. go to the app drawer and press the settings icon (or long press the app switcher button) and select uninstall/disable apps. if its ATT or Samsung, and you don't want it, odds are you can either uninstall or disable it. just make sure that in Samsung Apps you disable automatic updates over WiFi. you can also hide them.

myth busting time: IF you were rooted, and IF you manually removed bloat apps, you do NOT gain ANY additional usable space in device storage.

3. tether bypass. there are multiple threads here on how to do this. I have a 10gb plan so its a non issue here.

4. Writing to extSDcard. most built in apps like the browser, email, and camera will save to the ext SD card. so will my files, which is actually a LOT better than on the s3 or s4.

5. removing bloat bookmarks from the stock browser. I prefer the stock browser over chrome, call me crazy. I also don't like the 4 pre-loaded bookmarks being in my list. I saw a tip here to just create a folder called My Bookmarks or whatever you like and put your bookmarks there. the bloat is still there but its not staring you in the face.

so what else have you guys been doing to get functionality that was easy and convenient with root, but still attainable without?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] byte9:
Speed- I find that a lot of people nag about speed, my phone is fluid in all ways. Three factors play into this, using the TW launcher, animation speed, one last tricky one-- S-Voice has a delay on the home button waiting for the possible hook in for user prompting it. My standpoint is you can get from a TW rom the kind of speed or more that you can with a rom somebody else pre-tweaked for you.

Remedies below.

1. Get Nova Launcher (you can look into others if you like, if you want an experienced users perspective on speed, use Nova it flies)

2. Enable Developer Options(click About Device, click build number until it says Dev mode is enabled), Turn OFF animations for Transition window animation scale, transition animation scale and animator duration scale.

3. Open up S Voice (through the double-tap shortcut or in the app drawer). Tap the menu button in the top right corner (three dots) and find the "Open via home key" option under "Wake-up." Disable for slightly faster home button response.

Some people may find this abrupt transition between applications off putting at first but once you give it an hour the phone is flying so fast I could never go back. Enjoy!

As mentioned above:

Nova Launcher

Transitions at .5 or OFF

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] rachelm920:
My tip.. simple but I'm a customize nerd.

iFont available for free from the Play store allows you to add hundreds of fonts to your phone right from the app, and is compatible with the font selection from settings - display.You can also load fonts from the internet or your computer and use that as your default font.

The one lag, I still can't stand... despite all the animations being off is the lag between camera and gallery... like I take a photo, click the little image to view it and it sits there for at least 15 seconds before the gallery opens up. Anyone else have this issue?? I'm so used to CM based roms and still try to swipe to view the gallery LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cjohns8792:


This could be due to your SD card. If you are saving pics to external SD and your card is a lower class it will read and write data in a longer time frame. If you are using internal memory and not the SD card slot then I'm not sure. Backup everything and try a factory reset. I personally don't have an SD card, I don't see the need without root. Also it takes about 3 seconds for me to do what takes you 15. That's why I think an SD might be the Culprit here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] miller1821:
There is 1 thing you can not do without root that is needed for me. I own a Pioneer Appradio and use ARUnchained which requires root. If you don't know what it is then look it up. It basically mirrors your phone and lets you use touch on Pioneers Appradio. I used this with my GS3 and if I would have known we wouldn't have root after this long I would have kept it and not bought the GS5. There is no getting around root for this. Pioneer's stock app has restrictions and doesn't let you mirror everything where as ARUnchained solves this problem.

Anyone know how to remap buttons ? I highly doubt there is a way without root but not having a menu button is killing me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wallcrawler77:
The menu button function is still there ... just long-press the recent apps button. If you've got a specific app that doesn't display the 3-dots menu somewhere on the screen, you might want to reach out to the developer. That's part of modern Android UX standards. I recently reached out to Untappd and they updated their app to include it pretty quickly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Add45:
Thanks, but what I meant is that I do not like having to hold down the button to pull up tthe menu. I much rather prefer having the recent apps by holding down home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Wallcrawler77:
Ah, gotcha. Unfortunately, short of root reassigning buttons, I don't think that's a desire that will see much traction in the future now that the UX standards require on-screen menus and more devices are coming out without any soft buttons at all. :( When you get down to it though, you're either tapping the bottom-left of your device or you're tapping the three dots on the screen.
