[Verizon LG G2] zach4134:
My battery life is pretty bad. During an 8-9 hour shift at work in which my phone primarily sits in my back pocket (I hardly use it at work) my battery drains to close to 25%, and even worse if I actually use my G2 to do anything. Anyone have any tips for getting the battery back to normal? The phone isn't rooted by the way.

I've seen many people recommend a factory reset, which I was going to try and so I downloaded Helium since I'd really like to keep the progress and settings etc. within each of my apps. I have it installed on both my G2 and computer, and I have USB debugging turned on and have set the phone to PTP, but I cannot get Helium to recognize my phone on my PC. I have all the necessary drivers, and everything-to my knowledge-is set up as it should be, yet it still won't recognize the phone within Helium on my computer. Any advice on that?
[Verizon LG G2] tmach:
I'm not sure it makes a difference, but I don't think you need USB debugging enabled for Helium. Try turning it off and see if it helps.

I can say you WILL see a battery life improvement after the reset. I didn't back up anything before doing it--just set everything up manually again. It didn't take too long. However, even though the battery is better it has never been as good as it was on stock JB when I could get nearly 50 hours with normal usage. Best I could do after the KK update was maybe 35 hours and a little over 4 hours screen time. Still, that's plenty to get through the day...
[Verizon LG G2] gixxer340:
Go back to JB. That is what I did and my battery life is awesome again. I tried all the other fixes and this is the only one that worked.

Is there any way to enable smart scroll function in the Verizon S5?

I read that it is disabled/not available in the verizon version, but is there some way to enable?

I am new to androids and mods/roms, but is there some hack or even an app out there to enable this?

Also, is there a way to enable the smart gesture features, like air browse in other apps, like chrome?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappa1983:
Hi Everyone,

just starting out with Android, and the G3. In the apple world, iTunes will make a "image" backup of your phone so the OS, the apps, the messages, etc.. are all backed-up to the software, and you can restore at any point with one click.

Is there an equivalent in the android world that you guys recommend, even if there's a cost involved for the software?

Thanks again.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyhdownsouth:
you can back some things up without being rooted, if you root, and have custom recovery, you can backup just as you speak of. As of now it depends on which variant of G3 you own to gain root access.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldschoolsig:
Drive for docs,Google photos for photos,spotify for music and easy backup for apps,but doesn't keep data or setting for apps. Multiple contacts,email and text apps you can back up to drive. If you are team pure (not rooted) that's about it.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seboj:
If you're specifically looking for the ability to

image

your phone and restore at a later point, you will need to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. To do that, you will need an unlocked bootloader. Currently, only T-Mobile offers a G3 variant with an unlocked bootloader in the US, but the devs are working to unlock ATT/Sprint/Verizon.

iTunes doesn't take a real image of your phone, it just backs up everything. It's easy for the iPhone, because of Apple's walled garden approach to iOS. It's harder for Android, which is why we create an actual image of the phone from a custom recovery. Your only other option is to try LG's backup service (never used it, can't speak to the quality) or find a number of different items for backing up each aspect of your phone, like oldschoolsig suggested.

I, personally, create an image and use the Helium app to backup a number of different items on my phone, like contacts, apps, dictionary, wifi, and SMS.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] theshrink:
Sometimes when I read a new message and hit the reply softkey, the busy animation appears in the center, the side scroll bar flashes between what it should be and like a scrollbar in the scrollbar and the 'x' button flashes between the x and ok. The only way I can get it to stop doing this is by softreseting the device. I have the T-Mobile MDA and I have tried to do a hard reset which proved to be useless. I then tried to reinstall the rom and that did not solve the problem either. Finally I got frustrated so I ripped off the screen protector and STILL it does it. Can anyone suggest anything?

Thank you.

Yep I have erdal, maybe it's because I am on ART runtime?

I used Gotham's build instead and it works but what I am supposed to see when I paste the player core factory file? There was none existing before that

This is what I downloaded

[Google Chromecast] erdal67:
As far I know the xbmc team removed the playercorefactory in the Gotham release cause the built in now supports hardware decoding what was not supported in Frodo...

I'm sorry but I don't know if ART is the problem but I doubt it!
[Google Chromecast] persianrisk:
Hey so now I have a bit of a problem I am wondering if you have any clues or tips. So when I copy the playercorefactory.xml where you said, it does in fact open non-live video streams with, for example, BubbleUpNP, but when I want to open a live stream I get the error "External Player Active" "Click Ok when Playback has Ended" ... I even tried holding down on the video and pressing "Open with" and choosing specific players, but no luck. Any suggestions?

Thank you. (Of course this is using Gotham's build).

Hey Guys,

Please remember that discussing how to pirate online videos is against XDA rules. It is one thing to offer this app. However, it is another thing to guide someone to not only breaking XDA rules but to breaking the law as well.

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrgv:
I killed my KFHD8.9 by some naughty fastboot command.. Had twrp and some older CM rom (around 6 months old) but everything was buggy so I was trying to update when I did something I shouldn't have apparently (I think the last command was a fastboot command before everything died bc I was getting errors in recovery when trying to install the new CM rom from a zip file). Now, the kindle won't boot up, no screen, nothing. It just heats up if you connect it to charge is all I can tell.

I downloaded everything per instructions in several recovery threads but after any fastboot command nothing happens it just stays at "< Waiting for device >" prompt. Also, 'adb devices' doesn't report anything connected. All my other devices connect fine and I had fastboot and adb working on this kfhd too. I have also pressed the power button for 30s to make sure the kindle is off prior to connecting for fastboot command...

Can this be fixed? Sorry if this has been answered anywhere, but I have spent the last week sifting through every thread I could find. Thanks!

Long story short, I was trying to install Dynamic Kat but it wouldn't work. Each time I would try to install SS 3.72, it wouldn't boot into recovery.

[Google Chromecast] ddggttff3:
I have a split network as well, but sadly it will not work as the Chromecast uses Multicast to initiate the connection to cast devices.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yeah, to get the multicast to cross subnets you need your routers/endpoints to know how to properly route the packets, and you need multicast reflection via something like Avahi or tivobridge (with the MDNS options). I've used the latter for making TiVo devices visible across subnets, but never tried it with Chromecast...
