[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
Hi guys, I'll try to describe this problem as best I can. I've tried to take a video of this but it doesn't quite work.

Basically about 80% of the screen occasionally starts flickering. It could be a screen refresh issue or a backlight issue or something physically wrong with the screen. The top 20% is absolutely fine!

I've tried flashing different ROMs, Kernels, Radios, used different governors, set force GPU render and set Disable HW overlays.

None of these things work, whilst some appear to fix the problem its over ever temporary. Sometimes increasing the brightness fixes it but not every time.

The flicker has a slight yellowish colour to it too.

I've disassembled the phone and checked the screen connector ribbon etc and all seemed fine.

Has anyone heard or experienced this themselves? Please help!!!

My last option is to do a factory reset and start all over again. Or buy a new screen for £35...

Thanks

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MassiveEffect:
I'll make it short and to the point.

When I play a YouTube stream at 720p over WiFi on the stock firmware the battery drain is about 1% per 3mins. But on just about any custom KitKat ROM out there the loss is much more heavy, it's about 1% per 1.5 mins.

The brightness was kept at 50% in all cases. I tried even lowering the brightness but it had little or no effect.

I am beginning to wonder if these are directly related to the changes Google made to Kikat's rendering engine for UI and everything else as part of their project Butter.

GSMArena for example noted in their battery tests for several phones after the kitkat updates from Jellybean the video play back time has suffered.

I have tested this issue extensively with multiple ROMs against the stock .96 and .211 firmwares

You guys know a reason for this? Is there a way get around this? I really like the various KitKat ROMs out there but YouTube battery drain is too much an issue now and everything else is just fine.

Previously YouTube app on android depended on Adobe flash right? Now how does it work? Is the whole YouTube app on android running on HTML5 backend?

Hope someone else has noticed this too.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] galihsatriak:
i don't think so bro
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MassiveEffect:
:crying: Hoping someone has. It's easily noticeable when you play YouTube videos over WiFi with any of the custom Kitkat ROMs.

If there is a way to track something or someone wants me to put out some of the log dumps, do let me know what I need to do and I will try post them here.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zaidx:
Not only YouTube man its just when you play videos example: MX player you'll notice the difference

Sony ROMs are the best if the had the speed of cyanogen ROMs
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MassiveEffect:
Did another comparison with stored 720p MP4 video

Stock ROM .96 stock Movie player from Sony ---> 1% for every 4mins

KitKat ROM stock Movie player ---> 1% for every ~4.1 mins

More or less the same.

So the curious thing is WiFi radios are the same in both cases when I play YouTube streams at 720p and the stock Jellybean does better on the same version of the YoutTube app while KitKat ROMs, all of them so far, eat too much battery playing the same YouTube stream on the exact same WiFi Radio.

This is why I am thinking it's something to do with how KitKat itself is designed to work now with various apps. Maybe something inefficient is triggered in KitKat while playing YouTube.

Could be it be that Hardware Acceleration is broken in KitKat for YouTube?

Anyway to track the levels of acceleration?

also i tried the safe root method and i get his :
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SAMPPLE:
Your phone isn't rooted :( because the root ins't supported:( try another root method:) but as a precaution go into recovery and wipe your data and cache this will delete all your data apps games... from your phone , and after this try another method

What version of android you have ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xTaeYeon:

Yeah sure, read this little tutorial: http://www.droidreport.com/how-root-samsung-galaxy-s3-running-android-43-jelly-bean-xxugna7-6068

I recommend you to use Odin 3.07: https://www.google.ro/#q=download+odin+3.07 View attachment 2848868 Press the first page :)

I'M NOT SURE THIS WILL WORK... BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN S3...

So you can use towelroot method, this method don't trip knox and lose your warranty... https://towelroot.com

But use towelroot method, only if you have knox and warranty and for download press on that red thing( lambada ) and the install the apk file... :)

BUT TOWELROOT I'M NOT SURE IT WILL WORK...

Be careful what you advice here.

The i9300 have no knox.

And the best way to root the S3 is use CF-Auto-Root.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] hmzh:
Many Samsung devices store a flash counter that keeps track of how many times you have flashed custom firmwares to your device. On some devices, a yellow triangle or other sort of visual warning is also displayed during boot if you are running a custom firmware. TriangleAway was built to disable the triangle (if a visual warning is present) and reset the custom ROM flash counter to 0. This app requires root !

my flash counter was 11 :silly:

using Triangle Away may unmount your SD card. Reboot or manually remount it from Android settings. :o

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] j800r:
I don't even know if the Ace 2 HAS the flash counter. I have flashed different firmware and ROMs thousands of times and not hit a wall. Download mode always thinks you're running Samsung Official firmware so is unaffected. Triangle Away is NOT needed for our device, I will argue that to the grave.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
It is still useful in cases when you need to repair your phone(using custom fw) if too lazy to flash full firmware :D

Hello!

I've started the petition "att give us the freedom to modify and build. unlock our bootloaders" and need your help to get it off the ground.

Will you take 30 seconds to sign it right now? Here's the link:

http://www.change.org/petitions/att-give-us-the-freedom-to-modify-and-build-unlock-our-bootloaders

Here's why it's important:

The reason this is important is people spend hundreds of dollars on their mobile device (cellphone, tablets, etc.) Only to be restricted on customizing their device the way they want to and running custom kernels for better performance or even custom roms which are what make these devices worth having. So it gets left up to some dev who has probably already got a lot on his plate, and is only paid in thanks and beer money, which for some is OK but I think they deserve more cause they just did what the carrier should have. In short I feel if at&t can't give their customers freedom on there expensive devices we should stop using at&t service. Filled out from my galaxy S5 sm-g870a with Locked bootloader.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cedwa:
Whenever my phone is connected to my stereo through A2DP, the music is played through loudspeakers only by default. However, when there's an incoming call and my ringtone is being played I can hear it through loudspeakers AND the phone speaker, which creates a pretty cool surround effect. I'd really love to make my music player interact with all the speakers like this all the time. I took my chance installing various apps like SoundAbout to help me figure it out, all to no avail. Any ideas?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JmJ17:
Taken from Hermes Wiki (reg hacks):

"Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device

cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume

fN = flash notification LED for N seconds

p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.

r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.

vN = vibrate for N seconds

wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code."
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cappsie:
*bump*

Ok I've tried altering the vibratioin length to no avail - is there a way to 1. shorten the vibrate time to less than a second or perhaps a way to script a pulse..

I never got the LEDs to flash any faster either :(

Thanks

hi, i've been experimenting with a samsung gt-i5800 which i was given for free if i could unbrick it (it only needed factory restored) i've successfully rooted it and decided to have a go at installing a custom rom, because i was fed up of having to use a static ip address to connect to wifi.

i used odin to put cyanogenmod 7 on it. it worked, and i'm happy with the mod, but it's showing that there's 0kb of internal storage, and every time it's rebooted it behaves as if it's been factory reset (settings, contacts apps etc are all gone) i've read a few topics about these problems, apparently the solution is to wipe it and reinstall the custom rom.

what i'm not entirely clear about is what is meant by wiping it. i'm assuming it doesn't just mean using the recovery menu to factory restore again? what exactly do i need to delete and how do i do it safely? thanks!

i figured out how to use CWM recovery to properly clear it out, then reinstalled from a zip with CWM, it's now working properly.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] everynameistaken:
This happens in both CM11 and Slimkat, so I'm assuming it's an AOSP issue. Don't know that absolutely for sure though. This happens any time I use the Google search app, whether I use the top bar or the homescreen icon.

Let's say I search for "nova":

The standard results work fine, but if I click the Play Store result for Nova Launcher, nothing happens. It doesn't open the Play Store, it doesn't open a browser, it doesn't prompt what program to use. It just sits.

When I look at image results, it will show a handful of thumbnails, but the others are all grey boxes. No matter how long I wait or how far I scroll down, the rest of the thumbnails will never load. All of the thumbnails (both properly loaded ones and grey boxes) are unclickable, just like the Play Store links.

The search app is convenient for doing quick searches and it really sucks that it doesn't work properly. Is this a known issue with AOSP ROMs? Is there any fix for it?
