[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
I mean running it either until it powers off or just close to dead like 5-10%.

Right now I typically put it on charge before it gets below 30%. I've never had it below about 15% and that was not on purpose. I try to unplug it overnight cause it loses 1-2% overnight with data. WiFi etc off.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
running youre phone until it reaches 0% and it shuts off wont hurt the battery. the battery isnt empty at 0%. the 0% is artificially set for the phone itself, not the battery. running the actual battery out completely is usually a no no. but you wont do that by draining the phone completely.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
The question I think is whether it is better to charge before the 20% mark or after.

http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1446534.html
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
it doesn't matter any more, not with todays tech. i bump charge all day long at work, then drain my battery after. sometimes i charge when at 50%, sometimes at 2%, and sometimes after the phone turns itself off after hitting 0%. its not important any more.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Not sure how reliable of a source this is but its a very recent article

http://lifehacker.com/5875162/how-often-should-i-charge-my-gadgets-battery-to-prolong-its-lifespan

So technically that one supports my theory of keeping it cool and not draining it down all the time.

But I think its different from person to person.

Edit:

After doing some more reading. I Now agree to go ahead and use the battery as much as needed cause it won't last you more than 4 years max. Still I'd like it to last 2 years atleast before I buy a new phone.
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
Well my friend kept his HTC desire for over 3 years and now I have it. The original battery was still holding a decent charge for over 3 years. Now its down to maybe half of its original capacity. I taught him to do like the article says and not run it low.

My girlfriend was taught to discharge completely before I met her and I had a hard time changing her mind. She had a laptop with a completely shot battery after less than 2 years and an iPod with a junked battery too. I think there was something else I can't remember.

I definitely think it makes a difference.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
I found that if I place my phone diagonally across the charger (and the heat sink I made) the max temp I get during wireless charge is about 97
[Nexus 5 General] galaxys:
A very ice cold 6 pack of beer works a treat! :D :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
I'm not concerned about the heat much cause I feel basically no heat off this phone at all compared to my old HTC desire. That phone gets hot especially charging while using it.
[Nexus 5 General] raptir:
It's a recent article, but if you click through to where they got all of their data it's four years old. Also, just look at the numbers. A 50% DoD gives you about half as many charge cycles vs a 25% DoD... but you're also getting about twice as much use out of each charge. The numbers are slightly skewed to where it's better to do more shallow discharges, but the reality is that if you're going to be using 50% of your battery's capacity it doesn't make much difference whether you do it all at once or in two half-charges.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
After some more testing I think I need some more copper in the heatsink but over all it does help
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
That's a russian flag =P

On topic: I also like to keep my phone cooler than hotter. I made a setup in my car where I was using the nexus wireless charger as a car mount charger. I noticed though it gets very hot to even touch when it's charging wirelessly and listening to music with the screen off. I'm curious how hot it will get if I use navigation with the screen on while doing music and charging.
[Nexus 5 General] illr:
Only when I use my phone a long period of time ( Clash of Clans ) and I plug it up to charge it remains hot while charging. All I do is clear all apps from recents wait a 5-10mins to cool a bit then plug it to charge and no heating.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Like in first post, I use my CPU heatsink from my PC. 85° in one minute.

And I'm in the US. Ukraine is such a stupid nation.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
the only reason i ask is i was born in the ukraine, i am russian though. lvov was where i was born. we left when i was 2 years old. really, i grew up outside cincinnati, ohio :)
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Haha nice. Kiev is my home town and Cleveland is where I grew up.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Did some research on the n5. It has a li-polymer battery...thank god. Hence why its so low on mAh. Lipo batteries hold less charge than li-ion. But loose only .1% of its health a year and its breaking point temperature is 140°
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yup, li-po. and thats why our battery safety auto shutdown temp is 60C(140F). really, we have to be doing some extreme activity to get your battery that hot. the two activities that get it close for me, but not actually reach 60C battery temp is charging whike streaming a movie, and charging while playing cpu/gpu intensive games.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Yeah. So now I see why keeping it cool isn't that big of a deal. I would do this method for phones like the S5 that use li-ion that have like a 20% degradation rate by default and under stress up to 35%!
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
right.

more and more companies are starting to use li-po batteries, and ive read about some interesting battery tech that will be coming out publicly soon. the funny thing is, most peoples batteries now-a-days, far outlast the device itself.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
True that. I've heard from my physics teacher that there's micro batteries in development that can charge in like 10 seconds but can keep a charge for an hour or so.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
there was an eighteen year old girl that invented a charger that charges phone batteries in 30 seconds last year :)

oh, found an article.. http://m.newser.com/story/168171/teen-girl-invents-super-fast-battery-charger.html
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Yeah that seems great. Bit this is a battery that charges that fast with a normal charger.
[Nexus 5 General] gefilus:
101 F there is no heat problems, i like 40 Celsius. If your room temp is 20 Celsius then your phone got extra 20 and that is cool, you could start to scream if your phone reached like 180 F then you can tell its hot, until it is not hitting like 75 and up Celsius there is no heat problems. My phone all day long runs around 100F (35 celsius) Americans god demit
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
human body temp averages 98.6F, thats 37C. so 100F would be 38/39C ;)

oh, what hes talking about is battery temp. while the phones cpu temperature safety limit is 105C(221F), the phone will shut itself off if it reaches it(it works, i often hit it purposefully), the battery temperature safety limit is 60C, only 140F. what he was worried about was keeping the battery temperature near there for long periods of time, and it causing the battery damage. now hes not as worried :)
[Nexus 5 General] gefilus:
Still there arw many posts about this temp, starts to get annoying to read. :D it is safe thats it. But 110 to 140 is big gap, so no need to worry
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
BTW I'm not american.

And I'm not the only one who is worried and doesn't like to hold a phone that is hot.
[Nexus 5 General] gefilus:
Ok, im. Sorry about that, but usually all who complain is from us. Sorry. If you are Russian then hello from Neighbor. :D its 2.3 ghz what you want, its power hungry and charger is 1.5 amp so there will be a heat
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Actually I get no heat from the cord charger but wireless charging is unpredictable. Sometimes it's 96°f and others is 115°f. And I'm a heavy user so I want to pick up and use it instead of cooling it down first. Just my preference.
[Nexus 5 General] abnormaIity:
My method to keep my Nexus 5 cool is I have a dead Macbook Pro next to my bed. I just sit my Nexus 5 atop it's freezing cold exterior and it keeps it nice and chilled.

what also works is if you have something like a ThermalTake laptop cooler lying around.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
I wonder how you can tell if the GPU overheats, cause on a PC GPUs without sufficient cooling will fry
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
It's a SoC, not separate components like a PC

The CPU will always hit thermal shutdown of 105°C way before the GPU will fry itself.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Oh yeah! True haha slow brain after class haha.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmbhneo:
Hey Folks,

my One just get pretty hot on every AOPS Rom ive installed so far. It is pretty hot on just beeing on the homescreen and do nothing. If i do any Graphic specific stuff its getting freaking hot. I do not want to brick it so I wanted to ask for your help first.

It is only on AOSP Roms and i tried using several Kernels. None really helped.

Is there any way to let my device work more cold like on a Sense Rom?

Thanks for your help guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] viktormusteata:
hello! I bought a galaxy s duos gt-s7562 from ebay with android 4.2.2, I tried to install cwm with this method

STEPS

Step 1 :- Download ES File Explorer and Rooting kit and Extract it

Step 2 :- Install RootMaster1.0.7eng.apk and Press Root privileges to Root the Device temporary.

Step 3 :- Open ES File Explorer In Settings Under tools Enable "Root Explorer" that will give permission to re-write.

Step 4 :- In ES File Explorer in setting Under Local select " / Local " then open the folder "System" then "etc"

/Device/System/etc

Step 5 :- Search for the file "install.recovery.sh" and rename it to "install.recovery.sh.bak" This is done to avoid overwriting of stock recovery.

Step 6 :- Now Install "Flashfy.apk" and select "Flash Recovery" and browse to the extracted rooting kit and open CWM Recovery and select "recovery.img" it will flash and ask for reboot into CWM Recovery .

You can also install stock recovery this way too just choose the Stock recovery file

Step 7 :- In CWM Recovery select the option "Install Zip from SD card" and browse to the rooting kit and select "CWM-Superuser-3.1.3.zip" that will install a permanent Superuser [Root]

Step 8 :- Uninstall Flashfy and Root Master [Optional]

and now I can't to go in recovery or downloadable mode. what I can do? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Duos] It_ler:
Sorry ... I can't help directly.

But I found this nice thread about your device: [Guide] Know your Device: Galaxy S Duos GT-S7562~Root~Odin~CWM~ROM LIST |2014.03.05| .

Take a look there.

You can find instruction on how to flash CWM and stock recovery.

If you still have questions or need detailed help, please post in the Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum, or in the [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] help thread over there.

I am sure that you will get quick and proper help there.

call and see if they will refund the difference, or send you Visa gift card for the difference...

Especially if you are in your return window.. you can threaten to return and rebuy.
[Moto X General] vikramkhalsa:
They have pretty good customer service, you might be able to get them to credit you the difference.. or you can return it and buy it again.. I know people had some luck with that during previous sales.

I am very happy with my DE purchase. Just wish I would have done I sooner but the 324 price rocks
[Moto X General] miketoasty:
So tempted to get this but with the Moto X+1 right around the corner I just can't pull the trigger. It's definitely killing me not having a DE phone though.
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
"Cheap" X Developer Edition now, or more expensive X+1 Developer edition (if they have a dev edition) later. That is the question...

I guess it depends on your needs. If you find 4.7" the right size, if the rumors of larger screen on the X+1 are true, it might be "too big" (Probably will be too big for me.. the 4.99" on the GS4 and 5.1" on the GS5 are too big for me).

When the Dev Edition X went on sale in the end of September, it was $649.99. They dropped the price to $549.99 Nov 7.

What will the X+1 initially sell for? And is it worth that price difference?
[Moto X General] miketoasty:
Why'd you have to do this to me? Now you really have me thinking =P

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybryant:
Are there any clean & simple (i.e. non Samsung based) ROMs out there that support device & SD encryption?

I know CM11 doesn't... but I've not been able to find mention of it in any of the rom descriptions.

If none of the AOSP ones do, then what's the simplest Samsung based one, with encryption, but the least amount of Samsung bloatware?

A.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vyp54:
I think CM11 does, since I'm running a CM11 derived ROM and under settings -> security I have encryption.

Side note: you can remove bloatware from any ROM by yourself so pick any you like.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaber:
In stock-based roms, I suggest you give ArchiDroid V1.7.16 a try.

It has device encryption (as well as external SD encryption) and heavily debloated.

Make sure to read the OP, there are a lot of features you need to be aware of.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ed Murray:
I have been looking everywhere and I can't get a clear answer, or current, on what the newest T-mobile APN settings are.

The one that my phone is using, with my new T-Mobile service, is:

Name: T-Mobile US LTE

APN: fast.t-mobile.com

proxy: not set

When I get an MMS, it just gives me the option to download the msg, but never actually does.

Anyone have any idea?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mdiaz33685:
that is my settings also, now if ur using a different rom, from the N9005.. I get that message and its due to the message size, tmobile has 1mb download and overseas rom has 300mb, so if someone is send a pic that is too big, u won't receive it..

I jump around from different roms, and sometimes I get that when the pic is too big...

but if ur on a tmobile rom, u should not get that message..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Ed Murray:
Thanks for posting your settings.

So I'm glad I left my straight talk service active. After I left my house's wifi connection and drive one hour to work I found out that not one area within 1 hour of my home gets ANY t-mobile service. All I can connect to is AT&T, and with NO data services, since I'm roaming,

I switched to T-Mobile to take advantage of the Wifi Calling feature on my Note 3 N900T (Factory Unlocked). It works awesome, and is just what I need, since all I can get at my home is Verizon, sadly.

Anyhow, I'm going to give up on T-Mobile and go back to Straight Talk AT&T LTE and just live with not being able to Make or Receive calls on my Cell at home. It would be nice if AT&T would support this feature.

Does anyone know of a good WIFI calling service that integrates into your phone well? Without getting another number assigned to your phone, like most of the services (apps) on Google Play do.

Thanks.

Okay, so on mother's day I bought my mom a g2 and a case. Apparently the case makes the camera blurry so she takes it off. Long story short. She dropped it on concrete. It's barely cracked at the bottom but she's going to need a new LCD/SCREEN.

What's the best place to buy the part from? It's a T-Mobile g2. Also, does it matter if I were to buy a black one or white?

[LG Optimus 2x] yumeiki:
I've try every superfixed Rom, django 1.6.5 and others, with any kernel available but the phone make me always nervous, some time seems fast sice i find myself stuck on a white screen ora an empty home launcher.

The lag switching from 2 application was the worst thing, sice i have activated the anr messages to close unresponding apps. Too many time opening an application result in a lot of anr messages.

I've try carburano script in every combination, but where some things goes better, others goes worst.

I've too many apps installed?

I've wiped the phone so many times that i don't remember the last one.

I start always from a fresh installation.

Last one is django 1.6.5 with kowalski kernel 2.6.39.4, but seems less responding that KoB adios 0.7 with scripts.

Maybe i just need to change phone, this is "too old".

:crying:
[LG Optimus 2x] Wooby:
Maybe but my phone works very well

I have Temasek 2.3.7 and his kernel and it work like a charm
[LG Optimus 2x] NoDze:
You sound like a selfish brat, you know. No offense, but do you know how it is handling a low-end single-core device? Like the LG Optimus L3? Or even better, a single-core Armv6 device, like the LG Optimus One or GT540. You are also just spitting all over the hard work of amazing developers, calling their work bad. If you have money to buy yourself a brand new phone, go ahead, but don't neglect the work that has been done on this, actually, powerful device. I, myself, use my LG O2x with these settings and you can't imagine how satisfied I am, so try for yourself. If it stil "lagggggz", then either quit whining or buy yourself another phone:

LG Optimus 2x P990

New Bootloader

Paranoid Android 4.1.2 by TonyP

Kowalski Kernel M1, 32MB Ramhack by Pengus77

LG ICS/JB Camera For CM10 - test1 by feav

Disabled and removed some system apps (HWA app, Google Talk, PDroid, Apollo)

Installed some apps as system apps to increase stability (Nova Launcher 3.0.2 and Google Play Music)

In kowalski manager switch on the first three settings, set SD Read speed to 512 and enable Auto Hotplug

Use alternatives to favourite apps (Facebook -> Friendcaster, Twitter -> Falcon Pro)

Use Greenify and disable all apps you don't need running in the background (I only leave Viber on, the rest -> Hibernate)

Don't overload the phone, be smart. I have just a couple of apps installed and it works flawlessly.:good:
[LG Optimus 2x] yumeiki:
Dear NoDze, thankyou for your helpful answare because that's the point of this phone, without the hard work of developers of this fourm is totally useless.

By the way, in my post i'm not "spitting all over" for sure, i'm just saying, the phone doesn't work sorry. If any developer read something disgraceful about their job i am sorry, this was not my intention.

Remains the fact that i can't answare the phone if i'm using some applications, like waze, and with some kernels, application's listing like twitter or facebook are really slowly and jumpy, with some other not, but they have other problems.

..so maybe NoDze i need a new phone because i'm a selfish brat and, maybe, you are just a nerd, that likes to spent life's hours on an old phone that can't handle more that 2 applicaions, no offense. :cowboy:

p.s. i will try your configuration as well as other users in the past suggest to me. tnx
[LG Optimus 2x] NoDze:
Hahaha, yeah, I get that a lot. I like the term "geek" more. Nerds are more the star trek and klingon type. I like speed. That's why. I'm sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, had a bad week, so apologies to you. But, you get the point :) The phone is good, but not "power user" good. If we only had a dualcore snapdragon instead of the tegra, and at least 1Gig of RAM, this thread wouldn't even exist. So yeah. You can cheaply switch over to some rather stronger gadgets. Sell the Optimus by installing Kitkat on it (Kids love having the latest and greatest), put it on ebay, amazon or whatever your local online market is and get for a few bucks extra some better phones, like the old but gold Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, or even the Nexus 4, or maybe try dipping into the chinese market with Huawei. They make better phones with every new month. And dirt cheap at that. Maybe even android isn't your strong point. Windows Phone has improved drastically. Anyway, sorry once again and good luck with finding the right one for you.

For some reason i can't view my SMS inbox messages. This started about 2 weeks ago and i cant tell if it was a program that changed it.

From the 1st & 2nd pic you can see how it looks. The only way i can view my messages is if i go thru either SPB Diary (as seen in the 3rd pic) or PhoneAlarm. BTW - I have to be in the SMS inbox before i try to view it with SPB or PhoneAlarm (as seen in 4th pic)

Is there any way to fix this?? i.e, thru the registry or program.

You need a custom recovery (TWRP or CWM).

You can install it if you have the bootloader unlocked.

Use boot command instead of flash to boot into custom recovery and install su.
