[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
There must be a way. The m8 had a mod that allowed it. Can anyone chime in ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
What was the way the m8 did it? Maybe we can use the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
They implemented it into some m8 roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
Ah...yeah that's possible. They edited the androidpolicy.jar and the framework-res.apk. I wouldn't know where to start once I got them decompiled so I'll leave it to a themer/developer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
Yeah that makes sense. Someone should hop to it!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
What sort of "stock" android multitasker are you guys referring to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
The one from the nexus 5 and such. Aosp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Do you have any screenshots? How does it differ from the one we have with the exception of the two buttons on the bottom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
It looks almost the same.

The multitasking switcher in this ROM is slow to come up. Like pretty laggy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
So if anyone really hates the lag on the multitasking. Switching to ART definitely helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
It seems the lag is because its waiting for a long press for the menu. Hmm. I tried disabling it with an xposed module but that doesn't help. Although apparently the s5 active is fine because that has all buttons needed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
The active doesn't have a menu button either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
Yeah, I know.. Just figured it out.

It must be a fix they applied to the active ROM that doesn't make it wait so long.

Might just install a custom ROM and get it over with and see how that helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
I honestly think it's just down to the standard TW lag. When I have one or two apps open, there isn't any lag in opening the switcher. It's only when I have a ton open that it lags for me. You have no idea how much I want the GPE S5 to come out so we can get CM and everything else working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
I've heard on the active s5 there's no lag at all. I guess we'll see. Installing a kernel and ROM now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
A CM rom? Let me know how it is. I'm not going to flash it since a lot of stuff don't work, but I'll almost guarantee you that the lag will be gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Lostatsea23:
I haven't done a cm rom yet. I've done a custom TouchWiz rom. And paired with ktoonsez kernel. This phone is much faster. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] aooga:
If you think those are fast, wait till you try an AOSP rom.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DIGITALIZOR:
Hello there,

I'm trying to remove ROOT.

My device is BootLoader UnLocked.

My device is rooted.

My device is running the 14.4.A.0.108 FirmWare.

Searching for help doesn't help me at all http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/help/flashtool-error-parsing-settingsprefs-js-t2805196

My issue is this one:

When I am opening FlashTool64.exe, I get this error:

My computer is running Windows 8.1 Pro (updated) on an MSI Z77A-GD65 with a 840 EVO SSD (everything is up-to-date).

I used the disable driver signature enforcement.

I installed a lot of drivers for the Z Ultra in the Flashtool-drivers.exe.

And... I get this error...

What can I do to remove this red text ?

Or... Can I unroot with this error ?

(Because I give up by installing a custom rom, I'm reading, searching everything on the internet, and nobody offers me a link where everything is well explained, I remember how that was easy with the first galaxy note, now it's very uncomprehensible)...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] karim-ps:
I have the same issues
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DIGITALIZOR:
nevermind...

I'm gonna remove the unlocking, I have restored the DRM KEYS & I will try to update my device with Sony Companion and unroot

*#*#7378423#*#*

I'm unrooted...

But my bootloader is still able to be unlocked when I type *#*#7378423#*#* Configuration
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] adfurgerson:
If it say "allowed" that should be correct.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yes, if it says "Allowed" then it's locked, but you're allowed to unlock it (again). If it says "Unlocked: Yes", then it's unlocked.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
What exactly are you trying to achieve here? No recovery/No root/Locked BL? For what purpose?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DIGITALIZOR:
in fact, that wasn't the answer that I searched, thank you anyway for your participation buddy :)

Basically, I'm trying to launch a fully operational software without error, I might forgot a step during the installation protocol, and, I have an error...

To conclude, I have this red text that says ERROR and I would like to fix this issue, do you know how to proceed to resolve it ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
I guess that is just an error in firefox's prefs file (flashtool looking for web proxy) so is nothing to worry about - just a guess though
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] DIGITALIZOR:
so this error is just for a proxy issue ? :highfive:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PaulVicker:
blueether is right. Just install Firefox and open it, which creates the missing file. The error is gone. :good:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] austin_boy:
Battery is draining too fast when 8525 is connected data mode ( Goodlink or Xpress.)

This forced Cingular to postpone the imminant release of 8525

Any body is noticing this with the TyTn ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Goodlink is a notorious battery killer on many devices...

I used to use Xpressmail on my SX66, and it was also a battery killer (and extremely unstable).

I'm not using either program on my TyTN though...

I'm using Exchange ActiveSync with DirectPush via PDAConnect (and isp.cingular APN). I've seen no issues whatsoever with battery life.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stpete111:
Goesto11, do you have to have the PDAConnect plan with Cingular to get pushmail without using Goodlink, or can I get it with just unlimited Medianet plan?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
I have been on 3G, with DirectPush from my exchange server and battery's down to 50% since morning ..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
I don't use Goodlink at all (never did).

Unlimited MediaNet forces you to use wap.cingular, which can cause timeout issues (see Sleuth's notes on the subject).

There is definitely better performance on mail delivery / polling frequency (and thus battery life) on using isp.cingular, which is only available with PDAConnect.

Whether or not the improvements are worth an extra $20/mo is a personal decision...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gravejoker:
austin_boy ... OT .. Any news of anymore ROMs from Cingular?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
@austin_boy: I can test this on my TyTN to see if the problem reproduces (Indicating hardware or not). Is v1.34 the ROM I should be using?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jhouse96:
Cingular release of 8525

Does anyone know when Cingular plans to release this phone? My SX-66 is on its last legs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stpete111:
Goesto11... thanks for the info.

Jhouse... that's the question of the year. No one knows. Speculation has been wild all over the internet. Some piece of Cingular literature said Oct. 29th, and then that ended up being an outdated piece of literature. I've heard everything from tomorrow all the way through the end of the year as release dates. Don't bother asking any of the sales people in any of the retail stores. They don't know either.

There is no one place on the net to go to keep updated on the status, but if I had to suggest a couple places to keep in tune to everyday to see if any news about it comes up, it would be Engadget Mobile (www.engadgetmobile.com) or Cingular's HTC forum (forums.cingular.com and then click on 'Cingular/HTC' and do a search for 8525). Take what they say in that forum with a grain of salt though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] austin_boy:
Be patient. The release is imminent (before the holidays). No operator will launch a device with a potential defect. The battery problem is on the way to get solved

:)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] URPREY:
You evidently don't have Sprint ;)

<---Patiently (not really) waiting :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sleuth255:
@austin_boy:

If you need more testing done prior to release, you know where to drop off the "fixed" ROM...

:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] eagle 1:
I have noticed the Battery drain on my Tytn, but it is only a problem when connected to 3G. Seems to be a little better on the Cingular 1.34 rom, than the stock Tytn 1.18.

I am in a 3G area all the time so my Tytn is always connected to the 3G network using the Cingular isp.cingular APN. When I first got the Tytn, the battery would go down 50 to 60 percent overnight without use(only push email with about 10 emails rec'd) if left in the Auto selection (it seems to search for the signal when set to Auto). It would only go down maybe 10 percent if set to GSM only. And would go down 30 to 50 percent if set to 3G only.

I let the battery run out several times in between full charges and it seems to be better.

I have found it is better to set the network band to either GSM/1900-850 or Wcdma/1900-850 and the battery lasts longer. Yes, it lasts a lot longer on GSM, but if I wanted just GPRS/EDGE why buy the Tytn. SO I usually set it to 3g.

I charge it on my daily commute (45 minutes) while listening/watching morning TV and the occasional call via bluetooth. Receive probably 35 to 60 emails via MSexchange Push. Make approx 10 to 15 calls and occasional surfing the web while on the phone. I sometimes have to charge it during my day at the office, but it will usually last until my drive home.

So, yes the battery does not last very long. My Prophet and Universal can easily last more than a day. But I love that 3g speed. So, if you have a tytn; get a charger for home, work and a car charger also.

I am hoping another Cingular Rom shows up for more testing.....

This has happened multiple times on my Galaxy s4. Today was the worst however. My phone was on 51% battery (supposedly) and then, the phone just turns off while I was in an app, without any kind of low battery warning, it was running as normal before this happened, I start the phone up again and bam, 1% battery remaining. Here it is on the battery screen:

My battery was dead by 2pm in the day which is also significantly worse than normal. This is with just 45 minutes screen on time:

Hi ,

It could be lots of things...battery , phone not going in deep sleep , settings

First thing I would do is use an app like Better Battery Stats and really see what is going on ( kernel wakelocks) , who is keeping the phone up all the time , then i would review all my settings like FB , mail , location ...any syncing related app that may be going crazy and of course battery may be going bad

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPSUsername:
Keep in mind that battery percentage is never 100% accurate. All devices with batteries (with a percentage meter) has this.

But yeah, use better battery stats to check wakelocks.

Also a trick to calibrate the fuel gauche chip is to take out the battery for 3-5 minutes. It will be more calibrated than before.

Hi guys,

I'm a webprogrammer/designer and I'm looking for an app that can do the following things:

Making images from scrap

Basic editing image editing

Resizing/Cropping without limits

Works with full RGB colors

I need this kind of program to be able to do some basic designing tasks (creating buttons and banners etc.) with my phone (galaxy S4) or tablet (galaxy tab S 8.4). It kinda frustrates me that I always have to use my laptop while I know that these devices especially the tablets should be able to do the same thing.

Note: I'm NOT looking for any image editors or whatever kind of apps that my sister would use to enchance her selfies. Those apps all need a base image to get started and can not make something from scrap.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauFerrusca:
Hello.

I've purchased a new battery for my phone, but I get the feeling that I need to zero it in. I don't know if this is what some people consider "calibrating" the battery, since what I really want is real (or more real) statistics, for the phone to read the battery power correctly.

The new battery sometimes shuts my phone down while at 40%, 46%, 20% and so on, but the batttery counter never reaches 0, 1 or 5% (just random examples) while energy is being drained, I only see these low percentages when the battery is being charged.

Is this a normal behaviour? I suppose that, in the last days of the original battery, stats weren't too reliable (it was already fat and it shut down unexpectedly), surely those stats might be causing the battery readout false info.

What is your take on this? Is there some logic to my understanding?

What I haven't done yet is test the battery (voltage and resistance) with a meter yet, but I'd like to.:confused:

Thanks!

UPDATE: Hmmm... just finished reading this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mugenbatteriesOwner:
Which battery did you purchase? Where did you purchase it from?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MauFerrusca:
Hello. I did not purchase a Mugen because:

a) Shipping date is 23 july (I can't wait much longer without phone).

b) It's a tad expensive (reading the reviews, I can understand why, but still...) and then, adding the shipping charge made me think if a two year phone really needs such an expensive battery. Had I known of Mugen a year after I bought my phone, I'd gotten me one, for sure. But now? Don't know.

I purchased it at a local cell repair shop: I tested it for a few minutes and, unlike the other battery I had that my phone didn't even recognize, this one worked correctly and I have 8 days to return and exchange it for another.

Hi. I am encountering problems after installing this CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4

I admit, I am a noob regarding this.

Going back, the phone can access The CWM-based recovery by pressing the power button and volume up, can use menus, advanced menu,

I wiped the partition and cleared cache and dalvik cache but when you restart, screen stops at LG logo and (Secure booting error, Cause: boot certification verify) text is displayed.

I know I was unsure of everything and flashing androids are new to me especially on my device.

can I unlock the bootloader even with the CWM-based recovery alone?

Model name: F240S

android version. 4.4.2
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
I'm having a similar problem. I have CWM from Freegee on my phone.

Last night, when I was unable to flash either or two different roms, I decided to check for an OTA update. The phone downloaded it, and when it was finished, it went into looping into recovery. I then decided to factory reset, wipe data.. still phone goes back to recovery. Then I decided to just use the backup I had made earlier in CWM. Still stuck in recovery loop.

Anyone? Anyone?
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
You can't install an OTA update with a custom recovery. It needs the stock recovery. Time to familiarize yourself with the TOT method of flashing back to stock
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
I just did some more searching. I'm coming up with stuff like "install the lg flash tool" , "and if that doesn't work, install (If you cannot run LGFlashTool2014.exe, please install Visual C++ Runtime Library) - VC_RedistInstaller.exe - 47.7 Mb"

HOLY PHUCKING HELL! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO? Go get a phucking degree from MIT to just to use my phucking fone???

Seriously. Someone on this site needs to learn how to teach. I know that there are men here with IQs in the upper range of 140 plus.. but they can't teach. sad sad sad.

I've been going at this for so long now. My computer is littered with downloaded files. And then the phone I had before this it was like, hmmm, I'll flash a cyanogenmod rom because they under stand the common man. WRONG. Their mods suck battery life more than stock roms. Okay, I'll flash Carbon rom... not any better, devs have purposely darkened the screen to make it look like battery life is better.. I tried rom after rom after rom. They all have problems. NOt just minor problems either.

Android is the punk in prison that gets passed about by the violent inmates. First Samsung has his way with Android, then Google gets in on the gangbang and then Verizon or AT&T gets sloppy thirds..
[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
I have an e980 and this method had been flawless multiple times. As far as battery life, that all depends on 100 different things, but I always flash madmack's modem, then wipe cache and dalvik. Deep sleep is pretty much guaranteed after that.

[LG Optimus G Pro] abumy:
Your dramatized posts between threads show you are having a hard time. A person does not need a degree to flash, just the patience to read a lot on a forum like xda regarding their phone and android in general.

People only notice something like battery life on a given rom due to the presence of other options they can compare it to. Apple, for example, is just one thing. One ios iteration having a better something over the other is irrelevant as there is nothing to apply degrees of comparison to. Then, hardware variety, etc.

Some of the points you are upset about in the process of flashing could be resolved by a google search or xda forum search.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Perry2547:
Well I finally got it working.

What one has to do to get roms flashed is to use madmacks's term. And when you're on recovery mode, you must toggle Loki support to disabled or the install of the new Rom will abort.

Unfortunately, Camera has stopped.

---------- Post added at 01:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:57 PM ----------

For the record, I did search. And search. And search.

The problem here at xda is that many of the developers are so smart that they are unable to articulate down to us regular people.
