I used to use a modded Note2 TW launcher side by side with my N7000 TW launcher, is there any modded S5 TW that can run side by side with the stock N3 seclauncher4?

Hello everyone, I have installed yesterday the 4.4.3 version on my phone and I found out that it has better battery life. I'm using greenify which I was also used back on the 4.4.2 but still i believe the battery is still better. Does anyone else found out that there is a slight improvement on the battery life?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
one full day use cant tell you how battery life is. battery life can change every cycle, its all about your use for that day and the quality of signal. after 4 days to a week you will have an idea about battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giwrgos:
I know but based what i have done today (and i'm doing every day) it should be half of the battery and not 70%.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comscier:
about the same as 4.4.2.... CM11 is still better choice if you are concern about battery life, probably due to the complete Google Play Services package.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giwrgos:
I love the stock rom and i don't have any problem :P there are plenty solutions about the battery life. but anyone found out that there is slightly better battery life let me know.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nawfil Nibir Neel:
I have noticed the same thing, was using franco kernel before and decided to try the 4.4.3 stock kernel for a while, battery life is definitely better than 4.4.2 stock kernel!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepdavies:
I'm on stock 4.4.3 with Franco R53 and I am definitely getting better battery life. Probably mainly due to Franco though!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PsychDrummer:
I mentioned this in the 4.4.3 thread. It is quite possible that the update brought better battery life. However, people in this thread (and OP) should specify if they wiped their phone and flashed factory img. If that's the case the clean install might be the result of the battery, and not the update itself.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cas8180:
I did a full wipe and I am on day two and noticing better battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i disagree. cm has nothing good for battery. battery life is determined by your personal use, your personal setup, your apps installed, and the quality of the data/phone signal. kernels and roms do very little for battery.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegtfusion:
MUCH better battery life here.. (4g) , before with 4.4.2 i had around 1-2 bars 4g reception (which is bad). the signal killed the battery i think, but now with the new modem i have 3-4 bars 4g reception. the battery life has been improved from 8-9 hours with my usage to 12+hours (same usage). i am really happy now :D (stock rom + stock kernel)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vegas217:
I have definately had better battery life so far. I flashed the factory image and then uber kernel. It seems to be about 30% better. The drain on the battery WHILE USING the phone isn't as bad as it used to be.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comscier:
As I have said in my previous post, "due to the complete Google Play Services package."

I used the same settings regardless of roms, be it Stock or CM/others. I am comparing "Stock as in no root, no alterations.", it does perform poorly in terms of battery life (even when you disable most of the Google apps), when compared to CM or other AOSP roms with Gapps.

I am comparing it under same settings and usage.

And that's what I get.

"cm has nothing good for battery" .... please, you may dislike cyanogenmod all you like for whatever reason, but in the end, it all comes down to what to you are comparing it to. and ease of use.

Cyanogenmod is the best option for someone who is not a tech geek and yet wants the customization features and with a stable updater to stay up to date.

Nexus 5, rooted, dirty upgrade using NRT - Nexus Root Toolkit.

Dreadful battery life, far far worse than before. UPdated yeasterday and charged overnight. This morning with my phone mostly unused in my pocket, it nearly burned a hole in my leg due to the heat it was generating. Android System an Google Play Services were the major culprits. I had updated all my apps before updating android, and nothing showed as having updated this morning.

I had to charge it at lunchtime, as it was down below 20%, and again around 9 pm as it was again down to 20%.

Google say that it is the fault of incompatible apps. But they weren't incompatible, and now they are, and the only thing that has changed is their update :mad:

They have definitely broken the rSAP app which I used to connect to my car's inbuilt hands free system. The developer has identified that it is in the radio, as flashing the old radio makes it work, but he cannot find out what. I hate google.

If you use a hands free, the threads I have found all seem to show problems, so be wary of installing this update. I updated as I had not found anything against it and indeed this thread suggests much better battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
As I always say, its more than likely due to location services. Android just can't seem to make it efficient.

Turn location services off for a day, you'll see the huge difference I'm sure. ;)
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] lostangelintx:
I am having MMS issues. I am in the oilfield rental business. My guys are out in the field and send me photos of directions to locations, damages to equipment, etc.

I am running stock rooted, s-off, and HTC unlocked bootloader. I am updated to latest OTA update.

I cannot get ANY mms from iphone users. I get the "so and so has sent you an mms message. Download?)

If I press the download link, it does nothing and eventually I get a message that it failed.

I get the same thing from my guys with Android phones, but if I re-boot my HTC One M8, then I will get the picture, instead of the above message.

I am not sure if this problem will repeat itself if I revert back to stock. Really don't want to go back to stock to see.

I did have an IPhone at one time, with this same number. It was a 5s. And a 4, come to think of it, before the 5s.

Any help would be appreciated. Can I call AT&T to help?

Classic case of adblock plus. You can either use adblock plus or receive MMS, but not both

The reason it comes through on reboot is that the adblock service hasn't started yet

give me a proper solution.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
If you can't go to download mode, you won't be fixing your phone.

You need to keep trying to get into download mode over & over - home/power/volume down - you need to hold the buttons for long enough so it works, many people let go of the buttons too early & mistake that for not being able to access download mode.

If that doesn't work, go to Hopper8's 'Odin troubleshooting' thread stickied in General, and try the 'jump start' method to see if you can get the phone into download mode with the charger. Then try a jig.

If none of these things get you into download mode, take it to a Samsung service centre or local mobile repair shop.

Edit - Also, like a lot of posts we get here, you have left out a lot of details. Telling us exactly what you did to the phone & when might be the difference between fixing it without paying a Samsung service centre/mobile repair shop a lot of money or not.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
To answer more precisely what you are asking: yes, you need to root for doing this. As far as I know, the only temporary root method which doesn't involve doing anything that might void your warranty is WeakSauce (search for it), but it only works on some variants of the phones (most notably: Verizon in the US).

All other phones can be unlocked using the HTCDev website (google for it), but unless you achieve S-OFF (that is, unlocking an extra security flag on the phone which HTC won't let you unlock), it is not possible to remove all the traces that you unlocked it.

However, if you are in Europe, HTC should not refuse to repair your phone under warranty even if you are rooted, the law imposes that they repair it anyway unless *they* (not you) prove that the damage was caused from your tampering.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
That would be true only if you handed your money over to HTC. I.e., it is the responsibility of the retailer, not the manufacturer.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
I tried it on my EU phone and it failed by just crashing, no damage done however. They also write on their page that trying should be safe.

[MENTION=745386]BenPope[/MENTION]: I don't know the laws perfectly, but I believe what you said is not totally correct. AFAIK in Italy, for example, the manufacturer still has to provide one year of warranty (and the retailer has to provide two). This is not a favour, they have to, so I believe that these laws must apply at least during the first year.

HTC offers two years of warranty in any case and I don't believe that they behave differently on the second year, although they would maybe be entitled to.

The laws might be slightly different in other EU countries, but the general guidelines should be the same.

Hello,

I have a bunch of voice recordings that are in my sounds folder, (m4a and 3ga files) when using the Samsung Voice Note App. If I record a new one it shows up but once I move them between sound folders (internal or external) they dont show up within the app anymore. Is there a way to refresh or should I be using Root Explorer to push them somehow? I tried using the stock file manager app and Astro. Almost like its not refreshing...

Any help appreciated
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
Hello,

When you're copying it to the External Storage, where are you copying them to? Is there a file called ".nomedia" in the folder where these items are located (or in a high-level folder)? If that ".nomedia" file is present, apps won't notice anything in that folder (or it's subfolders) when they scan for media. This prevents apps like gallery from seeing the various thumbnails that are throughout the storage.

If you don't see them in your file explorer, you may need to turn on "Show Hidden Files" in the settings.

Hope this helps!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lyvewire:
I didn't realize someone responded til today. I appreciate that! That did help because now I know why it wasn't working. Now my question is is there a workaround for removing that .nomedia file? Its not allowing me to do anything. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] topherk:
I've never had issues deleting .nomedia files... Does your root explorer actually have root access?

Where are you trying to copy these files? Maybe you can create a new folder (sans .nomedia file) and stick them in there. Just remember, if there are any "parent" folders that have the .nomedia in them, it won't search the subfolders for media.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Lyvewire:
Your the man! Root explorer wouldn't delete it and I kept getting this message View attachment 2784852

so then I ended up deleting it from the stock file manager and it worked. I would of never figured that out without your help. I kept seeing the. nomedia. file but ignored it. I don't even know where it came from, just glad that worked.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] sputnik767:
First of all, you really need to chill. This issue has been well known since KK was released, and it has nothing to do with Samsung. This is the way Google has implemented SD card access in 4.4.2.

The solution is not difficult. Root and install an app from the play store that will reenable SD card access. Or use a file manager app that can work within Android's new framework for SD cards. I believe Solid Explorer can do it, as can the stock file manager app. I am pretty sure all of the stock Samsung apps can access the SD card.
