[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmidge:
:( It's not an easy one

I still did not manage to solve my problem. It's not an easy question... :(

Do not hesitate to ask questions (if you need some precisions) or add something in this post. I feel a bit alone on this post! :( And since it isn't the hottest device with brand new fesature, not much persons are interested in it!

But it seems I'm not the only one to face this problem... All major new Samsung cellphones seems to have that kind of nice proprietary "feature" (or bug) that hide the partitions and prevent to do whatever it is necessary to backup the boot partition... Soooo, it would be nice to find a workaround. But I did not find any solution.

Have you any idea, even a slicest possibility that might maybe, in a fantastic world, work? I'm willing to hear any suggestions, or even clue that may help me to understand how to pass over that. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you! :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmidge:
The solution

Thank you Codename13 that helped me a lot on this problem! It seems that we can get the original firmwares on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ (I didn't tried it myself). So it seems there is no point to bother with the rom and boot backup. Keep doing it for the sake of precaution, in case there were a corrupted downoad, wrong firmware or whatever, but at least, there seems to be a way to get the stock ROM and stock boot (and even more).

Also, for those that might be interested and can't or don't want to use Odin, there is Heimdall http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/ that can do the trick. (it is useful for people following http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265803 tutorial for instance.

For the rest, we just need to follow http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2265803 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451967

Have a nice one!

Guys do you know some script to delete line on some files ?

For example dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m, value 5m on some roms is not same if I use this script :

busybox sed -i '/dalvik.vm.heapstartsize/d' /system/build.prop

The line is not deleted :/

Please Help me guys :)
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Just open the build.prop manually and search for the line. Then delete it. Make sure you are using a root file browser.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitish159:
Does moto g has miracast support in 4.4.3? I will have a new smart tv at home today and can't cast screen on 4.4.2 without toot. I don't want to void my warranty now and 4.4.3 isn't available in India yet. So, does moto g officially support miracast in 4.4.3 without root so that I wait for it or is there any other non root way to use miracast? :confused:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Personally, I use FlippsHD (recently free on Amazon app store) and if you have YouTube "leanback" on the Smart TV - you can pair with the app on your Moto G and cast. Neither option requires root.

https://www.youtube.com/pair​
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitish159:
I managed to get miracast on moto g by adding persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 in build.prop but still, one more problem, when my devices connects to tv through wifi direct, it says obtaining ip address and then, it disconnects :crying:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Same experience here running 4.4.2. Maybe 4.4.4 or 4.5 will finally fix this.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitish159:
I atleast hope we get 4.5
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I've been trying out 4.4.3 and can confirm Miracast now works perfectly (on Sony Bravia TV). You still need to add persist.debug.wfd.enable=1 in build.prop. I notice there is another line in the build.prop (may have been there in 4.4.2): (which I also enabled but may not be necessary)

##property to choose between virtual/external wfd display

persist.sys.wfd.virtual=0​

Additionally, Allcast and some other DNLA apps that did not work correctly in 4.4.2, now run fine.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Additional points about Miracast in 4.4.3 / 4.4.4:

When Miracast screen mirroring is enabled; Moto G looses it's (WiFi) internet connection. This may only be the case with Stock firmware - as I have read that CyanogenMod often solves this issue on other phones.

Another question is whether the Moto G has the required hardware; if something specific like Dual-Band WiFi is required for Miracast to work simultaneously with WiFi Internet.

Since Miracast on Moto G is disabled by default; it would appear unlikely that Motorola will provide any support regarding this feature.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitish159:
I thought it wifi was turned off in every phone, I read that somewhere for htc phones. As for me, my tv can't just connect with my phone through wifi direct, but it connects with a samsung galaxy star. Motorola's fault, I got this issue to live assisstance and he said that he too wasn't able to connect through wifi direct.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Miracast is supposed to wirelessly mirror the screen without any limitation.

Check out this video of a Samsung Galaxy S4 - all internet apps work fine:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxSJ57Q3zak​

There are a few posts on XDA discussing this:

[Q] screen mirroring and network simultaneously?​

miracast and wifi​

From the above thread:

I will try the above tip tonight along with playing around with WiFi direct.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nitish159:
I don't really care if wifi disconnects after my phone connects through wifi direct, just the problem is that I can't connect
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
As I have already stated, Miracast does work for me with 4.4.3.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
UPDATE:

It could well be TV (Sony Bravia) specific, but from testing:

i) 'Settings > Wifi > WiFi Direct' will connect sometimes.

ii) 'Settings > Display > Cast screen' always connects but no Internet on phone.

If anyone can test these out with 4.4.3 / 4.4.4 based custom ROMs please report back. Android L could fix the internet part or it may never be possible with Moto G's hardware. Other than that; the Miracast mirroring seems slick and responsive. I did not check gaming lag.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eteles:
I'm sure it's a software limitation, since my cheap Chinese phones and tablet can use miracast without the need to make a direct connection to TV... They use the WiFi network... Both devices (phone/tab and TV) only need to be connected on the same network...

Only the moto g needs a direct connection to TV...

I don't know if its just CyanogenMod attending to there bugs or Googles bug fixing, but battery life on android 4.4.4 (CM build 21/6/2013) is much improved over the old 4.4.3 nightlies. I have posted my results from yesterday below. Anyone else using these builds please post your results under this thread as well.

View attachment 2812966

View attachment 2812967

View attachment 2812968

View attachment 2812969

(These results were all from the same day)

SUMMARY

Screen time: 4.5hours

Talk time: 45 minutes

Skype: 1 hour on WiFi and 2 hours on DC Hspa+

75% of the time I was on data 15% I was on WiFi throughout the day. Both attenas were on throughout the test however. Location services were on battery saving. NFC was off. Bluetooth was off.

All in all the phone lasted the whole day and has very very good screen time considering all the calls I was on+data and wifi.

P.S screen was off during calls
[Xperia Z1 General] saintgein:

[Xperia Z1 General] dnzdeniz:

Is custom roms (such as cm) battery life better than the stock xperia battery life?
[Xperia Z1 General] sruba209:
i have read over the internet that skype is a huge battery hog in android 4.3...nt sure abt 4.4... might i suggest video calling using hangouts....
[Xperia Z1 General] peddarson:
it depends in what you are doing. In general there is nothing such the Sony ui and apps. so there is less power consumption - but when it comes to using the hardware then probably the Sony firmware is better because the drivers (should) be implemented correctly. In cm there are sometimes workarounds to get things working. This is not always the best solution for having the best performance.

but still: the people who are involved in custom roms do a very good job! pretty much everything works!
[Xperia Z1 General] Destroyedbeauty:
What I know - many AOSP / CM maintainers / developers are using signed, proper drivers straight from Sony themself. Specially after Sony did become friendly toward the open source scene..

It's the opposite direction on Samsung devices though what I know that got horrible manufacturer support.
[Xperia Z1 General] ttrchicken:
I might not own a Sony Xperia Z1 but I've been noticing increased battery life from the latest CM11 nightly from June 23rd. I'm currently on the June 24th nightly running 4.4.4 Kitkat on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 LTE and the increase in battery life is amazing. I don't have screen shots to show but all I can say is running the nightlies before June 23rd, my battery drained to zero within 6 hours of medium usage. But now, my battery only drains to 40%-50% with the same amount of usage. I'm pretty happy. CyanogenMod is the best.
[Xperia Z1 General] Techpenguin5:
Performance is great and buttery smooth.
[Xperia Z1 General] Techpenguin5:
Skype is a battery hog for sure, which is what makes these results so impressive. But overall battery is much improved for CM in 4.4.4

P.S I would use hangouts but none of my friends use it. I anyway only use skype when playing gta

[General Questions and Answers] AngryScholar:
Hey everyone, I apologize in advance for my ignorance here. Mods, I searched for this to the best of my limited ability, and I don't think this exact thing is covered elsewhere (and I can't post in the Developers forums with a new account). If I'm mistaken and this is addressed, or if this is not the right place for this question, I apologize--please move it accordingly.

I have an ASUS ME127V which I rooted and installed Clockworkmod Recovery following the guides here in the Dev forums (this was about a year ago, so things may have changed in the interim).

Recently I've become aware of the SSL issues with Android 4.1.1, so I'd like to restore my tablet to stock and upgrade my Android version, but unfortunately I'm just coming up short every time I try to do this. I've tried the AMPC beta app that's linked to in the dev forum, but haven't managed to get it to work, partly because I'm not certain what other files I need.

Can anybody point me toward a simple step-by-step for unrooting/removing CWM/returning to stock?

Thanks for your help and patience.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobile.dev:
3 possible scenarios

Hi Daniel,

You didn't specify what your symptoms are. There are three common issues with charging:

Cable / Adapter issues

Charging indicator on but battery not charging

Battery is empty and cannot be charged

In the first case, there is no charging indicator. When connecting to a PC, the PC doesn't recognize the phone. Or it will cycle between connection/charging and disconnected. This may be because of the USB cable (easy to check: try a different cable). Another option is that the adapter itself is physically damaged. For some reason this is common with n7000. The remedy in this case is to replace the adapter.

If the charging indicator is on but not charging, try shutting down the phone and then connect the phone to a wall charger. Wait a little while to see that the battery is recharging (quick click on the power button to see charging indicator). This happens occasionally (in other Galaxy models too). If this is the case, try reseting the phone to factory setting and don't install any apps for a while. Operate the phone to see if the problem is solved before installing your apps one by one.

If the battery is fully drained, it may not charge back. You will need to manually charge it a little to get it started, then charge normally. This is done by connecting exposed wires directly to the connectors of the phone and battery and booting the phone. There are instructions elsewhere on the net.

Don't try this if you don't have some electronic skills!

It is also possible that the battery is ending its life. But that would normally manifest in a long charge - quick discharge cycle. Easy to replace the battery and test.

If all else fails, try telling your phone that you are about to replace it with a new model. I don't know why but sometimes it works. ;)

Good luck!

when i charge my zr, it show 90-91% then suddenly show 100%, battery full. how can i fix it???
[Sony Xperia ZR] nikhilkaushik:
Solution only if root and CWM installed.

If you are on root and have a recovery like CWM installed, then boot to recovery, then go to advanced and there must be an option to clear battery stats or something (I don't remember exactly :P). You must do this only when you have kept your phone switched off and then charged it to 100%. Then only do it, then it would clean the junk battery data and recalibrate battery.

If the same issue persists, "your battery may be faulty".

If you are not rooted, then I am sorry, I am not aware of any solution if there is any.
