[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakiscy:
Hello could you pease share some tips or link to guides that will help G2 opimized as much as possible performance and battery life, without rooting and using custom roms.

I want to be able to get the most out of the device on things that really matter to me like battery, messaging apps, gmail, est

thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcnbama:
As far as performance this phone comes stock with really great performance, really even battery for that matter. However there is not much your going to be able to do to increase performance of apps like messaging, Gmail, etc. Those apps will already be pretty much flawless. As far as battery all you can do without root is the regular stuff like disable GPS, AUTO SYNC, use auto brightness. There are several apps that claim to help with battery. I used to use Juice Defender back a couple years ago. If you root your phone there is much more you can do. Mods, tweaks, roms, custom kernels, etc. Good luck!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd1085:
As jcnbama stated its pretty sweet outta the box...but to have an all around improvement performance/battery wise you're gonna wanna root your device and install a custom rom...rooting is much simpler and much safer than on many devices...Mahdi aosp rom seems to give the most stability, performance and extreme battery life in my opinion... Good luck!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
You can call me a fanboy or whatever but I've yet to find any custom ROM that outperforms stock in battery life or performance, especially stability. There are some big trade offs too like audio quality and camera (even on mahdi) which are both deal breakers for me. Sad, since I love stock android but stock ticks every box.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd1085:
Yeah...you would have to be a fanboy to still think stock outperforms aosp in any way...especially Mahdi...benchmarks(which I don't trust to be accurate)show higher...as well as side by side tests of stock and aosp shows how muchs faster tasks are completed...But...at least as far as the g2 is concerned I can see why you love stock...I have been stuck with Samsung's touchwiz ui for my last 3 devices...it was uglyAnd downright overfilled with bloatware...but fully rooted and with a few tweaks I could see myself using stock on the g2...but I still get better stability, performance and battery life on Mahdi than I have experienced on anything hands down
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
I didn't like it right off the bat. I loved cm 10.2 and I was pretty happy on Mahdi until I played music over Bluetooth. No matter how many audio tweaks and kernel tweaks I made I just couldn't get to sound good. The video camera audio was the same. I can live with the odd random reboot but the sound quality of stock is what sealed it for me.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd1085:
How long has it been since you tried it?most if not all of these bugs have been fixed...I couldn't use it due to buggyness either...I tried it after the 6-28 release and it was smooth sailing ever since...every update has continued to improve my experience and its my dd at this point...I actually do keep a backup of stock(all bloat removed and lots of optimizations) due to to some features that only come stock...but I have faster 4g and WiFi connectivity using mahdi...don't know why...I guess one could argue good and bad for both here...but I guess since touchwiz from Sammy just wasn't an option for me aosp is what I'm accustomed to...lol
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Its been a while since I tried it. I've been on the cloudy Roms and cloudyg3 is my daily driver now, surprisingly. Running perfect for me anyway. I'll have to give Mahdi another go before android L comes into effect. Its good to know they're perfecting it. The OP's head must be spinning now with all this information.

im coming up on my jump ( in 3 days ) and im super torn

ive been looking at the LG G3

but been reading about some troubles with it

main problem is NO ROOT been reading about overheating as well but NO ROOT is and major issues so far

been looking at the M8 and im not going to lie i miss sense from when i had my m7

the camera leaves me wanting a bit more coming from the note 3 but i think i can live with it

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madcat8686:
It comes down to personal preference really. I've not experienced any of the issues you describe for the G3. I'm on AT&T so my phone can be completely customized (and is.) My M8 has never gotten hot. In fact, according to GSAM it has never gone over 95F. As for the camera, well, I don't use it very often. I have cameras and use them to take pictures. I'll use the phone camera if I don't have my camera but only in a pinch. The photos I took are acceptable.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x714x:
Get the m8, I loved my g2 but lg just lacks in places imo. I was thinking about getting the g3 but i really love my m8, hands down the smoothest device Ive ever had
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Batfink33:
I've went from a Nexus 5 to a G3, I took the G3 back and got an M8. The G3 for me was horrible. Slow and laggy,overheating and difficult to multitask on as it was so laggy.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] omnivir:
Hello Everyone,

Ever since I've updated to 4.4.2+ I've been having the same issue across multiple ROMs. This being when I use Google Maps or Waze the entire device will frequently start to lag really, really bad. Somewhere around 15 seconds response to do anything. More often than not, I have to reboot by pulling the battery. I've seen similar issues between probably the 6+ ROMs across 4.4.2, 4.4.3, and 4.4.4, so I don't think its something isolated to any one specific ROM. This leaves the assumption that it may either be something specific to my device, the way I'm flashing new ROMs, or something seen in all releases of 4.4.2+. I doubt it's the third possibility, though. When I flash a new ROM I wipe cache, dalvik, and storage via TWRP's wipe option followed by installing the new ROM and Gapps, if needed.

I fear I know too little about how Android functions to start really troubleshooting the issue. If anyone can point me in the right direction of some troubleshooting guides, posts, applications, logs, etc I don't mind trying to hunt this down myself. I welcome any and all help that can be provided.

Thanks

Hi,

PC companion doesn't want to update my rooted Z1 compact.

After PC software preparation and after I accept the "information" my connected phone powers off (step which I think is normal) and then I get the following message:

"The phone contains modified software that cannot be updated"

"Sony update Engine failure (error 2003)"

Can someone help ?

Bought my phone in March, works well, runs 4.4.2 and was rooted.

Tks in advance

ftf?

Hi Lasantha,

Tks for your reply.

It looks quite easy but could you please be more explicit. This would help greatly. I'm a idealist rooted (I think we should be able to do what we want with our phone) not I don't have a lot of tweaking knowledge.

1 flash ftf using flash tool (what is ftf ? and which flash tool would you use?)

2 then root again (was thinking to root again with towelroot

3 remember to untick data wipe if you want to keep data (where should I untick this ?)

Many tks in advance

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] si1entONE:
Hello XDA,

Way to start off my Friday :) Hope EVERYONE has a GOOD AND SAFE weekend!

PROBLEM:

Out of the blue it started to reboot itself more often, always had issues with candykatt even after few re-install and wipes. Last night, it would reboot with in 1-5 minutes after full boot and load, then the time decreased to 30 seconds. Till finally 1 second, that is if i am lucky to full boot and load. (auto attempt to reboot with multiple vibrations).Tried to load into odin and twrp, and same symptoms first will fully load into those two for 30 seconds and then auto reboot.

ATTEMPTS

Tried various batteries of various charge types percentages, stock samsung battery fully charged another 2500MAH even 5400MAH. Tried taking sim and memory card out and same thing! (debating on opening up and clean, hope just power button even though feels fine)

CANDYKATT:

I love the rom, work well for couple months with minor popular known issues, like camera not working and random but not frequent freezes. And power hungry, was waiting for updates in forum but never happened. Not as tech savy as i used to be :( (not my first rom, ran every blackstar and everything from GB, JB,KK and just not on this device) still a not a pro or almost out of noob stafe

XDA FAMILY HELP ME PLEASE!

would love to fix issue with out wipe or reflash at the moment to save files (did not have memory card long)

Phone:

AT&T i717

CandyKatt (Non Uber)

TWRP

64gb SD

No Other tweaks or fancy anything

All Buttons seem fine

No Rattles haha

NO WARRANTY

(Charge port messed up, no major accident besides tripped on power cord while plugged in)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] si1entONE:
Power Button

XDA World,

Attempt Power Button cleaning and pop out with screw driver (not forced). My button worked fine, looked fine and felt fine. After attempting ODIN and TWRP many times, idk what I did but re flashed and loaded into candykatt os set up. My files still there, and so far has been on for a few minutes as I transfer my photos to SD (full battery).

Uh oh random auto reboot!!! dang it :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] si1entONE:
working better

I still do not know what I did, entered odin and twrp so many times (as mentioned old post). After it reflashed due my button mashing between those two, it works better random reboots even vibrating thing. But does the bad vibrations here n there until I hold power button then reboots.

And was able to sync to get photos off.

I am going to try a new rom, sorry candykatt ...promise soon as bugs are fixed I will re-install :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
Many times the stuck power button issue seems okay it may not be. I always tell folks to flick the phone in the back a few times, even if the button feels the click. Flick it. Some are courageous enough to take a swab and alcohol to the contacts for cleaning. Not me.
[Android Development on Bada] Smantanasiceapa:
Hi everyone! First of all, I'm new in this section, never meet bada until now, before it I had an S2. So I got my sister's Wave 1, and when trying to boot into android (btw it has bada 2.0 as primary OS) it stuck's at boot screen. She doesn't remember how and what things flashed, so I must take it from 0.

1) In order to remove the version of android installed, how do I proceed?

2) Is there any way to boot in stock recovery (I think) to factory reset and maybe get rid of android version (which I don't know which it is), and so Bada 2.0 remain the only OS version?

3) The firmware version is XXKL6 from Poland and I don't find an available link to download the same version. Is there necesary to renew firmware from sammobile in order the get rid of the android problem from 2) ? Which latest firmware offered by sammobile is stable? I'm from Romania, so is there any problem if I change the original firmware with one you guys recommend it? There will be problems with 3G or smth? Can also someone provide me a good and easy tutorial for reinstalling the firmware if it is necessary?

4) Finally, I want one only OS version, and that woun't be bada. In order to work properly, I must dualboot Android? Or I can have only Android?
[Android Development on Bada] BenzoX:
To boot android you need several things :

Bootfiles (same for all android rom, make Bada and Android bootable, default bootfiles can't boot android)

Fota : Boot some system depending of the key pressed, Android Fota can ALL boot bada with some key combination.

Default fota can boot only bada. It also decide default boot and where to search Kernel.

Android kernel, must be placed where fota decide (often a zImage or a boot.img file on SDcard or bada user partition)

A ROM of course, installed somewhere (where the kernel is configured to boot)

To remove android, it depend of version :

Loop : (installed with bada in virtual partition on internal memory in dual boot), no real need to remove, it just use some space in bada_app and bada_system. How to know you have it ? SDcard is real size and you can boot bada.

Nand : installed on internal memory, it replace Bada. You need to flash Bada to remove it. How to know ? You don't have bada.

SD : installed on SDcard in dual boot with bada. Format fully sdcard to remove android. How to know ? you have bada and sdcard is smaller than real size.

There is no recovery on Bada, only on android ROM on Wave.

There is a Download mode to flash firmwares.

For a good bada, check Turko CFW v10.2, or firefly rom, in Bada dev section.

You can flash it with multiloader v5.65, it will remove Android Nand and Loop.

You'll loose all data.

But there is no real interest into removing android except if you want bada or get some space back.

I like dual boot (with default boot on android) because bada have great battery life and better camera.

Now you have to choose between numerous roms here on xda or elsewhere. Badadroid (main project) is Loop, most of recent roms are Nand.

I made a SD rom (experimental) here on XDA, and there is SD and Nand rom for wave on the web.

Loop ROM are a bit slower than Nand, and Nand ROM a bit slower than SD if you have a good SD (class 4 and upper).
