[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tectas:
I didn't really blame the ram nor the ram management, as i said, it's the launcher taking that much ram, that's why it probably get's killed earlier than others and yes, sure, that's an optimization issue. I also didn't say the system does anything wrong with it, i just tried to point out why it acts that way regarding the launcher and I also didn't say that it really is free ram I'm talking about, but available ram (with which i meant ram available for userspace apps, not ram amount not used).

Also I've never said more ram would be the fix, i said it would just happen less, because that's simply how it works and also like i said, it's not an issue for me, because i'm aware why it acts that way and even when it get's killed, it's almost instant back up, i just said, i can understand that someone could be annoyed about it.

I had much the same Ram usage on my Nexus 5. I've been looking at an app that shows what is actually using the Ram and at any given time there's only around 1gb in actual use, the rest is cached files. All pretty normal. Incidentally, I've turned the Zram off using faux clock as you really don't need it in a 2gb device and you get a very slight performance boost and battery increase with it off.

That would work :) You could also leave your phone switched off, to make sure it doesn't use any RAM at all :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg420:
Cm is much more light than a manufacturers stock rom, that's why u see more free ram in cm. Doesn't matter because more free ram doesn't equal more speed like on a pc.

If you're concerned about too many background processes slowing your phone down, see what's running and uninstall some apps or disable them.

just a quick question... can i install nova launcher and "freeze" the g3 launcher with titanium? will cause problems? in case not... what's the process name?

You usually can't disable or freeze stock launchers. But as long as you delete all your widgets off them and set Nova as your default it won't redraw or use up much any resources.

So I purchased a motorola xyboard from my boss. He never used it and offered it for 80 bucks. So I'm like sure we'll I did a factory reset on the device. Worked fine just a little twitchy. So I did like 3 software updates. After the third one it put itself in a boot loop. I know everyone is going to read this and be like just do a manual factory data reset by holding down the power button and volume +/- buttons. I did it though still no help. Any suggestions?

So I am a heavy rom flasher, which is probably why I'm having this issue in the first place... but I havent been able to figure it out and I'm hoping someone here can help me with it!

So I had to wipe my phone the other day due to my play store not working and I usually just flash the system to get it working again.

This time though, when I installed the new rom I had no sound! DSP manager kept crashing and I thought that was strange. So i re-flashed my rom (cm-11) still the same issue. Flashed stock software, no audio. reflashed and rerooted cm. STILL NO AUDIO

Can someone help me out here? How do I get my audio back D:

EDIT:

My sound was working up untill i flashed a new rom

AND

Every time I flash a new rom USB debugging is already enabled o_0 Maybe meaning that there is some configurations left behind that need to be wiped

Okay so for anyone else who is having this issue, I just fixed it by flashing the 4.4 modem.bin file to my phone via odin.

At times when u load up too many tabs on google chrome it gets buggy cause less ram is allocated to google chrome....u can change amount of ram set on google chrome using this:

chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area

open the link in ur chrome browser on android and change the highlighted area in yellow to either 256 or 512, by default it is set to 128

Relaunch chrome and see the magic :)

I made a backup of my stock ND3 Android 4.4.2 while helping someone restore their stock ROM. I know ND3 stock firmware isn't available yet (and perhaps never) but if you ever need to go back to stock and didn't make a backup, you can use this to get stock firmware back. You probably don't need this since you can use NCE ROM but just in case.

This does not include any bootloader/modem/etc, just system and data but should be enough to get you back on track.

http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS5/SM-G900A/SafeStrapBackup/4.4.2/KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3.zip

Unzip and put under /TWRP/BACKUPS/blahblah directory.

If you don't have blahblah directory, just make backup of your current cache and will create one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JuggerRUS:
Hi,

I just bought Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and want to setup it like my old Galaxy Nexus. Also I want to stay with fully stock ROM for a while so I need to perform everything without root.

I need encryption set on my phone. Problem was that for some reason Samsung ROM does not allow PIN unlock on encrypted device. Password wasn't convenient so I searched for workaround for this.

Solution was to install Tasker+Secure Settings and change lock type to PIN just once. Everything was perfect, PIN lock was set permanently. BUT, when I rebooted the phone I wasn't able to decrypt storage with old password. My device can be only decrypted with new PIN now.

How the hell that could be? I believed that when I set encryption password it will be used for decryption. Obviously for me now, it's not.

My question is: what encryption key is used for data decryption in Android? You can change password or PIN and decrypt device with it easily. In other words: what data (encryption key) should be hacked in order to decrypt the phone and where is it?

As the title says, is this phone really worth buying? Or can this phone be comparable with iPhone 5? Well, since I already have an Android device which was Sammy Galaxy Mini, which I rooted in like one click on my PC. Well I read that for Xperia devices I need to unlock the bootloader, is that procedure hard or do I risk bricking the SP? And is flashing CWM/TWRP hard using Sonys "Flashtool" ? Well thanks to evryone who answers :) And btw. how much is CM11 buggy?

But for CM 11, its not buggy and can be used as a daily driver

[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArturGaspar:
It's easy to unlock your boot loader, but you do not need to do it to get root, there are also recoveries for locked boot loaders. When you unlock your boot loader you lose the TA partition which is needed by Bravia Engine and other things, so you should root and backup TA before unlocking the boot loader.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
Ok, so if I unlock the bootloader, I'll lose BE2 engine and some other stuff but i can't flash any custom roms nor edit /system files, am I right? And btw. nobody knows if the SP can be comparable with the iPhone? And also, did anyone tried Viper4Android? I don't know if it's conflicting w/ xLoud
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
I saw a comparison video between iPhone 5 and sp but that only shows the boot up time: the sp booted up a few milliseconds later than the iPhone 5 and that was back when the xsp was released and still on 4.1 and I don't know how it will stack up against the iPhone with android 4.3/custom ROMs
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david19au:
Well, my actual thing, i'm looking at the XSP is because I already own the iPhone 5 but I can't use it much because my parents ( they always worriying about I would be silly and I would lose my phone so I can't use it any other time since they are not at home ) So I'm considering because in Czech there is a discount for the XSP and my parents said that I could ( if I leave the iPhone 5 for my mother ) use the XSP any time I want. Should I go for it? And btw. why can't I found the CM11 for the XSP on FXP site..? (XSP is "Huaishan" or?)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahvt:
Forget FXP for now... We have official cm nightlies available on the cyanogenmod website and the device codename is huashan! Or you can go to android development and install the locked bootloader version

Hello,

Yesterday I got an LG G2.

When mobile data is turned on and I begin to browse the net or downloading some files, I gets very hot.

The reception is really bad, 1 tick out of 5 when I hold the device in my hands.

I would like to know whether is it normal or not that with low signal and mobile data on the device gets that hot.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Izzard-UK:
I have an Orange SPV M3100 with a T-mobile Web'n'Walk SIM. Now that my phone is fully SIM unlocked and with a SuperCID (thanks to IMEI-check.co.uk), I have done the following four things.

1) 'Downgraded' to the latest HTC ROM: (1.18.255.3 - 07/22/06), which I have found to be good and snappy.

2) I have upgraded the radio stack using "Radio upgrade only version 1.20.31.10 (type II) fixed" and this seems to have improved reception for me quite a bit.

3) I have specified DNS server addresses, rather than relying on the T-mobile ones. The ones I am using are 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2. This seems to have made a vast improvement to the time the browser spends on "locating..." (i.e. looking up IP addresses from domain names) and it gets straight onto "opening..." far more quickly now.

4) Lastly, I played with the phone 'band' settings. I don't recommend doing this - I'm just reporting what I changed a couple of days ago:

I changed 'network type' from 'auto' to 'WCDMA', and changed 'GSM/UMTS band' from 'auto' to 'UMTS(2100+800).

I don't know which of these has made the biggest difference, but I am happy to say that, overall, it's like a different device all together. Browsing was incredibly frustrating before - especially in my lounge where the signal is a bit weak. Previously the phone would only manage GPRS 99% of the time, occasionally going to UTMS/HSPDA if I was in a very specific spot in the room/the window was open/breeze was blowing the right way/I was wearing the correct coloured pants. Even then it would drop back frequently, making it no fun at all and impossible to make video calls.

Now, with the above set up, the phone is always showing "U" (possibly because that's all I've allowed it to) and browsing is GREAT. I can download at 800+ kpbs even deep in the bowels of my office building (in fact, in the toilet cubicle ...hehehe). In all the places that previously made it drop to GPRS and/or hardly able to browse at all, it now shows a U with a tiny signal bar. ..but even then it browses at full speed.

I don't really understand what I've done with the Band settings but I might have made it so I can't connect when UTMS is not possible. But I like to think that it's as though I've made it try harder to use UTMS rather than giving up easily and dropping to GPRS as it did before.

Anyway, I'm very happy about all of this and I'll be using this set up for a while (I'm not going roaming or going anywhere with lower signal in the near future).

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergiopi:
If you don't have internet always ON when you connect you wait ALL DHCP informations to be assigned, IP number (fast) and DNS (not so fast)

So giving your device a FIXED dns helps to have the first connection faster

Also every internet request needt to find the IP destination address and large providers DNS are overloaded (this is the case of VODAFONE in Rome)

I use the open DNS servers, you will find the WM5 settings step by step HERE http://www.opendns.com/start/windows_mobile5.php

DNS system could be used als to "prevent" access to some website and opend DNS state they will never use for this. And this DNS censored system is used from many governement to control were to go and were don't.

Use open DNS!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Koksie:
Changing the DNS servers did nothing for me, not noticeably faster or slower than the standard set-up, perhaps the servers at T-mob NL are as fast as the DNS servers provided in this thread. But thanks for the tip anyway, when I find T-Mob being slow I'll definitely try these settings.
