[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickosbad:
Hiya, I am wanting to replace my HTc One M7 as the screen has cracked and the battery life is now woeful, it is no longer lasting the day

I was looking at the Sony Z2 and hear the battery is awesome but saw the LG G3 and it looks very nice indeed

It's hard to find comparisons of the HTC One to the LG. G3 as all the comparisons are to the M8

I don't want to be any worse off with the battery life but don't consider myself a heavy user

Has anyone gone from the M7 to G3???
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo1307:
I came from the m7 too, had the phone a week tomorrow, what sort of comparisons you interested in?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickosbad:
Hiya, mainly the battery life, I'm finding my HTC Really Poor now
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo1307:
Personally I'd say the battery life is good. I stream spotify on 4g in both morning and evening commute (hour in total). Play games through my lunch (about 40 mins) have push emails synced and check fbook and g+ regularly on here. Still has around 40-50% by the time I get home. Having around 4 hour screen on time at 70% brightness each day. Currently at 54% after 7 hours on time, 2 and a bit hours screen on time of which half hour was dead trigger 2 and 15 mins other games. With half hour spotify streaming (screen off).
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickosbad:
Thanks, what would your HTC be on with similar use??
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkgable:
This would be my upgrade path as well because I current have a HTC One M7. My questions would be-

What are the speakers like on the G3 compared to the M7?

Are you missing Blinkfeed at all?

In general, are there any things from the HTC that you are missing with the LG?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo1307:
Hard to compare really because I always had the power save on with the m7 because I didn't have as much data allowance and had my spotify tracks downloaded. Screen brightness was around 50%. Saying that I would go home and stream Netflix but I'd have it charging through the mhl to the tv at the same time so I couldn't say to be honest. I'd sometimes plug the HTC in at work to top it up a bit. I personally think this phone holds out more than the m7 did.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
I went from M7 to G3. Its been about a week now.

Battery life is definitely better on G3, and I used to have power saver on my M7 permanently. As you might expect, the screen on time does the most damage to the G3 battery, so on weekends when I am not checking the phone all the time, the battery hardly goes down at all. During the week, I still charge the phone every 24 hours, but I could make that stretch if I wanted to. Therefore, I am assuming the G3 battery compared to other flagships may not be too special or even below average maybe, but it is much better than M7 in my experience anyway.

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:33 PM ----------

Yes, am missing Blinkfeed, and it was nice to have an all metal M7 in my hands, however those sacrifices to get the G3 have given me a longer battery life, and most important for me, a bigger screen, so movie watching, reading sites, typing, etc, are much better for me, and it still fits nicely into my pockets. Camera is great, and I dont have to worry about space anymore with a 64gb card inside !! And yes, once I have knackered the battery, I can just buy a new one ! Brightness is fine on G3, a tad less than M7 I think, but not an issue.

I am using Flipboard and Taptu widgets for news feeds now, but they are not a patch on Blinkfeed imho.......doesnt matter. Aparently, if I root and do a couple of other things, I could get Blinkfeed onto the G3, but I wont bother for now.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clarkgable:
Thanks for that, actually you can download a 'lite' version of a Blinkfeed launcher if you look through the xda forums, without having to root. It's not quite the full experience on the HTC though, as you might expect.

What about the sound?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
Ohhh, I would love a 'lite' blinkfeed if I could just install it like any other app......do you know where abouts in the forums I should search ?

I havent done much testing for sound unfortunately, but then again, I seldom used the M7 speakers to the max either. I did a little youtube and changed the ringtones and played a bit of an MP3, but I didnt max out the sound, so cannot really give you much info.

However, in that short span of time, the sound was fine, good, great, not issues for me......I dont expect them to be as loud as the M8 , but they sound fine and in normal day-to-day they are good and clear and I assume louder than most phones at least. Doubt they would be show-off point for the phone however (front speakers and stereo makes more sense, but I would rather have a smaller bezel phone)

How about a comparison of the TV remote control function and the TV app? Is the IR range and accuracy decent on the G3?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaythenut:
i had m8 now g3 i would say about the same
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimto25:
I had a m8. I would say battery life is close to it. M8 bit more fluid ui, the sound on this device is very reasonabley loud and clear. Ir blaster i find thr same but i like the g3 app better. Camera much better than m8 this was a biggie for me. Brightness better on m8 but no biggie i never have it above 90% anyway.wireless charging works lovely on the g3 :). I no i carnt give u advice on comparing to a m7 but as the m8 is htc flagship and better than m7 u get thr jist. All in all if the g3 had maybe a slighly bigger battery and a bit more fluid ui this would tick all my boxs for sure.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wyase9:
Sorry, never needed to use the ir blaster on m7 or the g3 now, so can't compare.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmTechFreq:
I've tried out some great Roms such as , Resurrection Remix, Liquid Smooth, SlimKat and Cyanogenmod

But so far i only like CyanogenMod, v10.1.3 and whenever i upgrade to the next version 10.2.1 i feel as if it lost its smoothness and it has some lag every now and then and it sorta disappoints me.

I've been wondering , if you guys can help recommend me a Kernel to flash for this rom?

i'm looking for a kernel for this Rom specifically like or specific type

(Type1 )

Very Smooth or Fast

Great or Good Battery life,

(Type 2)

Mixed Somewhat Smooth and Somewhat Good Battery life

(Type 3)

Very Fast and Smooth , okay or below average Battery life.

i use my phone almost daily for just apps and some camera footage but i just want to know if theirs a good one that meets my asking.

also how do i flash a kernel? or well do i have flash the kernel before the rom in CWM or after i flash the rom then flash the kernel????

sorta n00b here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmTechFreq:
I've been also thinking....

I've been also thinking if theirs a CM ROM? or a different ROM , refering to like a muisic based phone or rom.

such as a Rom that include speaker tweaks or mods and make the sound better or the quality perfomance greater.

and during calls to make it louder or sound better aswell. but also including smooth and fast responsiveness. ive been noticing the FC or force closes in the other roms and sometimes my phone wouldnt wake up when i push the power button and that sorta grinded my gears.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ImSoFresh:
Hi

So yesterday I was trying to install TWRP recovery in order to install Cyanogenmod 11 on Xperia S , I followed a tutorial on techglen, the problem is that now I only have the recovery on my phone , it boots instead of the system , the system files are still there but I can't boot on it , If i connect my phone to my computer I can't access the storage even if I mount it using TWRP

So i have some questions

Is my phone broken?

Instead of flashing a .elf file i flashed the .img instead , is that the source of the problem? ( i didn't do it on purpose , but i didn't pay attention :/ )

can i flash the boot.img of the old system to get it back on booting ?

If there's a way of pushing the CM11 into my phone and installing it would that fix my problem?

Can i use flash tool to flash my old system back ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeremux:
Hi,

do you have the zip file of your custom rom on internal stockage ?

(browse file with 'Install" on TWPR)

If yes, you just have to flash it with TWPR.

Here's what I did (will do a clean install and delete previous setting, contact, app data ...) :

- Download ROM + Gapps and copy to sdcard (internal stockage)

- Flash boot.img with FlashTool

- Reboot on recovery (TWPR)

- Factory Reset (Wipe --> "Switch to Factory Reset")

- Format System (Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select System)

- Install New ROM (Install and choose Zip)

- Reboot on ROM to set basic settings

- Reboot on recovery to Flash Gapps

- Wipe Cache (Wipe --> Advanced Wipe --> Select Cache)

- Reboot on System

If you don't have zip file on internal stockage, you may go back first on Stock Rom with FlashTool.

Flash stock ftf(6.2.b.1.96), you can easily find it using search function.

Then you can do like I explained.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ImSoFresh:
Well thanks a lot for your answer man !

when i put on flash mode and try to flash it with flashtool , the phone leaves flash mode after like 40 seconds

I tried installing the drivers ( from flashtool/drivers ) but it didn't change anything :/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jeremux:
Do not confused Fastboot and Flashmode.

Normaly you just have to :

(I guess your tft is already in "firmwares" folder of FlashTool)

- start FlashTool (with Administrator Rights on Windows)

- clic on "Flash device"

- select "Flashmode"

- select all file in "Content"

- clic on "Flash"

- your xperia s must be poweroff and unpluged

- Press the back button (still powered off)

- Then plug the USB cable

After that your phone boot in Flashmode and flashing start.

If they don't work, what is the error ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darknessmc:
Don't put your device on flashmode until flashtool tell you because flashtool takes about 1 minute and 20 seconds to finish extract ftf file
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mirhawk:
You can simply try pushing the CM11 zip to Your phone when You are in twrp and Your phone is detected on the PC. You won't be able to see it as mounted storage. You will see the device when You run:

adb devices

Then Use the command to push:

adb push path/to/rom /sdcard

And then flash the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ImSoFresh:
That's exactly what i did , but it still didn't work , i flashed the recovery.elf ( at first i flashed it .img ) and then installed the rom , now it works perfect , thanks a lot guys for your help , if some people are having trouble this video helped me a lot

Opening the camera api to allow 3rd party apps to set ISO etc would be the cherry on the top...
[Xperia SP General] mick232:
Well, now that the kernel is up - how about a service that allows to create signed kernels so that locked BL can also benefit from custom kernels?
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
It's impossible to do without Sony private keys/signing tools leak. This is just a kernel source, it doesn't contain them. So even if you build the kernel from source, it will only work on UBL.

Also, to all: moving source to github won't solve anything, and doesn't change anything, it's now just easier to obtain the source for devs. Previously the source was released in the form of open-source tar packages on Sony site...
[Xperia SP General] mick232:
That is why I said "service" - Sony doesn't have to hand over the keys. They can provide a service, you upload your custom built kernel, Sony signs it, you download the signed kernel.
[Xperia SP General] MrSteve555:
Oh, so I misunderstood you. Your idea is really good, but I don't think Sony would ever think about it. So it's just a miracle...
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
Signing a custom kernel is endorsing it. How can they know if it's broken or something messed up.

Releasing the keys and signing package is better option with declaration or warning for no liability in case of damage
[Xperia SP General] shahrukhqasim:
They will never release the keys. However, they, themselves, can sign it if we give it to them. And we can provide them with sources so that they know everything is working fine.
[Xperia SP General] neXus PRIME:
They dont have enough resources & time to release proper and quick updates. You really think with the NUMBER or devices with locked bootloaders and estimated number of submissions of custom kernels will be possible???

Think about it first. At least dozen models within 18 months time fframe, tens and hundreds of custom ROMs and kernels for each devices.

And its not like one kernel dev will only go once. Be reasonable bro.

Companies only provide services which can be automated. or require a suitable amount of debugging. Bootloader unlocking is IMEI based and database can be automated. So millions of users can use it without issues.

Much better would be they just release the keys in spirit of open source or maybe give some unlock mechanism for permanent locked BLs.
[Xperia SP General] shahrukhqasim:
We need solution for locked blootloaders! Development is so hard on locked bootloaders. Give us signing keys or make a site to get kernels signed or anything. LBL are lagging behind UBL a great deal. We need signing facility.

Anyone try this?

If you have the tab s 8.4 try installing google now launcher or nova. Then try swiping between the desktop pages in both portrait and landscape modes.

My tab s 8.4 lags considerably in landscape but not at all in portrait. The Touchwiz launcher has no such problem. It seems to have something to do with the wallpaper so try different static wallpapers.

The 10.5 has no such issue and zips along beautifully in both portrait and landscape. It seems to be clearly a software glitch since touchwiz has no issue and with some wallpapers the problem gets reversed and portrait lags.

What gives?
