[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jonnyapps:
Hi,

Seems no matter which ROM I install my prime lags like crazy. It is especially noticeable when putting the drive in use - I just tested by setting a torrent downloading. Whilst downloading I can see freezes of up to a minute just trying to navigate the home screen.

Is this unavoidable or is there something wrong with my prime and its internal storage?

These lag spikes are throughout all usage. I basically never have a smooth experience.

I don't currently have an SD card. Would using one improve matters?

Currently running a month old version of hairybean which was clean installed as per instructions.

Thanks in advance.
[LG G Watch] bernard black:
Hi!

I'm keen to know if this is running the dual core or the quad core version of the Snapdragon 400?

I've been looking for a reliable source without any luck, so can someone here that actually owns the device verify the number of active cores?

Thank you very much!
[LG G Watch] spiderflash:
According to the internet it has 4 cores. Here is one of the sites I found: http://www.androidbeat.com/2014/07/samsung-gear-live-lg-g-watch-get-teardown-treatment/

GIYF
[LG G Watch] bernard black:
Thanks! I guess that it definitely has four cores. It does however say:

Can someone perhaps run some of the following commands and figure this out? "top -m -d 1 -n 1", "cat /proc/cpuinfo", "cat /proc/version". How many cores are actually available? It seems odd to me that all four cores should be utilized with regard to the very limited battery capacity.

Isn't it strange that they went ahead with such a "powerful" CPU/GPU combination? There are more energy efficient options out there such as the Cortex A7. It's not as powerful of course...but for a smart watch?
[LG G Watch] spicyalan:
This site features a /proc/cpuinfo. All four cores seem enabled in hardware, however, the geekbench results show it is limited to the maximum performance of one core (probably a scheduler tweak).

[LG G Watch] kartongsaft:
Cool! My watch have more cores than my computer. :)

Well, I hope Google or the manufacturer can balance between good performance and battery life as this device replaces regular watch that have battery for half a year. I have no problem charging the watch, but It would be nice if possible to extend the battery life with one or two days extra.

Android Wear should also had an option to minimize battery drain by night. There is no reason that my watch display should be on or the bluetooth activated during night.
[LG G Watch] spiderflash:
Are you kidding me? My other computer is 7 years old and already has a quad-core processor.
[LG G Watch] kartongsaft:
Unfortunately no. I hope that my current computer stops working one day, so I have the reason to buy a new one. ;)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ags84:
hello all,

i just bought nexus 5.... i am kind of noob when it comes to android.

is there i can block all annoying ads that crops up within apps and browser?

i dont want to risk rooting my phone.

pls suggest me easiest, secure way to do this....

thanks.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
You can try opting out from Ads from Google Settings but the only way to get rid of all the ads is to use an app like adaway which needs root. I don't know why you think it's a risk rooting your phone?? You can get back to stock anytime to claim warranty. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ags84:
hello

since i am new to android, i dont want to mess up/experiment on my phone. atleast till i get hang of it.

i used play a lot with my N95 before. so, till i get firm grasp on android inner workings, i wouldnt want to do anything with its in built features.

further, rooting is bit too technical for me..... there is no application that can root with just a click like it existed with S60 V3 OS.....

so will wait till such a thing comes up.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambo98:
Try to find in playstore
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ags84:
thank u for this grt suggestion.

fyi: all ad blocking apps r removed from playstore. only detectors r whats there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Even though there are tools available to do this (simple search on xda will locate those), you really should take the time to understand the 4-5 (simple) steps involved in rooting. That way, you know exactly what is happening (versus a toolkit that will attempt to do everything for you, and just tell you "all done" - without you having a clue about what really happened). The advantage of understanding these steps is that later, if you want to install an update or want to switch kernels and read a guide that tells you to flash "xyz", or restore from nandroid etc, you will not be clueless. Or if somebody tries to help you with an issue, and asks you to go your recovery, you won't be asking "how do I go to recovery screen"

My suggestion: If you are ever planning to root your Nexus 5, read the first 2 posts at http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905 - especially the parts highlighted in red.

Then, read it again <-- repeat till you understand it. If you have questions, read/search that thread to see if somebody already asked that question - and if not, ask in that thread.

The Nexus is probably the easiest device to root. But

don't root till you are comfortable with it

, and understand the steps involved.

Since you mentioned in your first post that you didn't want to root, you could try https://adblockplus.org/en/about

I must admit that I tried it once and wasn't able to get it to work right, and so I just installed adaway (that requires root) instead.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ags84:
thank you for the insight.

i am reading it and will root only after i fully understand it.

i did try adblockplus. got it when i searched on google.

as u said, it doesnt work right..... so i thought of asking it here as it is comman problem faced by many android users.

cheers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Ad Block Plus got nuked by Google, unfortunately. You need root to do this for all apps and on all connection types.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Good on you to take the time to learn.

Short of rooting your phone and installing an ad-blocker, you would have to pay for "pro" versions of apps you use, which often remove ads from the app as part of the upgrade.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
MoaAB hands down is the best add blocker! But u need root...

(Mother of all Add Blockers) ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Nothing is going to fully block ads without root. Nope. ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Childe:
For unrooted try Andblock (not ABP) http://code.google.com/p/andblock/

You need to import a host file (menu > import), and set Port to 8080

Blocks web ads only
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
So just for browsers you mean? If that's the case you can just use AdBlock Plus extensions/addons for your respective browser.

Adblock (unrooted, side load APK) will still work for WiFi just not on a data connection and needs to be setup as a proxy, or is it just for data? Can't remember.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Childe:
It’s plugged as ‘Andblock’, yet the app is named ‘Adblock’ – very confusing. And I’m sure it’s intentional, given the similarities with ABP.

Before I rooted my device I used Andblock (Adblock) – it works with 3g/4g, whereas ABP unrooted only works over wifi. Anyway, standalone ABP for Android is riddled with bugs and inconsistencies – brilliant as a FF addon in Windows, might be good as a browser ext. for Android - but if you're unrooted and use a browser that hasn’t got an ABP ext. then you’re buggered.

A device isn’t completely free of ads even with root - the famed MoaAB doesn't block every app ad.

[Security Discussion] sandeep37:
I read somewhere that Android keeps your personal data even after hard resetting the phone as it only delete the path of files nd original files are remain untouched. I just want to know if it is true or not..
[Security Discussion] paul.siu:
Isn't that true for just about every storage device? I think the issue is when you erase the storage media, traces of the files can be recovered from the storage. This is true for your phone and also your personal computer. If you formatted your hard drive, someone could still use a data recovery to recover your data. Short of totally destroying your physical media, there may be no 100% way of erasing all data. The realistic goal would be erasing the data to the point where an average person can't recover it.

Based on what I read from the article, the issue is that if you erase your phone, the data can still be recovered from the phone using off-the shelve tool. Apple is a bit better since later generation of iphone handles encryption better. If you want to avoid this situation, look into an android phone with encryption features.

Paul
[Security Discussion] Glompish:
Check the settings, you might have the option to encrypt your data in there. Takes around an hour if your device is fairly new.
[Security Discussion] Torrify:
Good way of making sure your 'deleted' files, if they're still there, are inacessable.

But can make backup and recovery a real *****....
[Security Discussion] zelendel:
Yes some of the data can be recovered but that is only as long as it has not been over written. The easiest thing to do is to wipe the device and use a Stock rom flash file to over write the system a few times formatting all partitions.
[Security Discussion] BitGriff:
After hard-reset, data will be erased from device.

But, if your data was synchronized with Google cloud services, they will remain alive after Android hard-reset.
[Security Discussion] tonybka:
All user data have been lost after hard reset :)
[Security Discussion] nyjoe610:
I imagine that after a factory reset, all information stored on the device previously will be erased, however, i believe that information synced with email accounts or applications will be saved
[Security Discussion] marcbolh:
A factory reset is theoretically the best way to clear data and should work for most phones, see Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset. However, a company called Avast Software did a study recently and found they were able to recover photos from 20 handsets bought on Ebay. They say the owners did a factory reset but I'm a bit skeptical that maybe they claimed to but didn't.

Marc
[Security Discussion] mez10:
i think the same thingh.
[Security Discussion] vian11:
google keeps all of our information in its database... we are not its user but just product...
[Security Discussion] Primokorn:
As zelendel said, data can be recovered after a factory reset. Have a look at this thread 'Deleting data' part.
[App Stores] tsoens:
Hi,

is there any way to update the price of a In-App product programmatically?

For example:

the product cost 1 cent. Everytime the product was buyed, the price is expected to increase by 1 cent.

1 buy: price = 1 cent

2 buy: price = 2 cent

3 buy: price = 3 cent

and so on...

thanks for your answers!

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCGHOST:
So far I am loving my G3, but this weekend I found a shortfall. My old G2's navigation was just like any other Android device with turn by turn instructions, the little arrow pointing your direction. The G3 however seems allot different. The voice commands and instructions given are correct, but the navigation arrow snakes all over a static map. The arrow doesn't point forward, showing you when a turn is coming, it just moves around on a static map turning in all directions. Is this a setting I'm just not seeing, because I rely heavily on the direction of travel and less on the spoken or printed directions. I've resorted to using waze and other forms of navigation as the stock navigation is just confusing. Does anyone know if there is a setting or a way to setup the device to be more like a standard garmin'esk device with the arrow pointing towards where you're going?

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lux.Peria:
Hello,

I just got myself an optimus 4x HD and i was wondering why it so slow and hanging everytime when i want to open the menu. Also the battery life is very poor.

I read that the tegra 3 is very nice powerful and smart power saving.

So what can i do to get that effect?

I got the latest android STOCK ROM installed and the stock kernel.

I want to flash cyanogenmod only when i 100 percently know that this will fix my problem.

(When i do can i get official roms? I had an XU before and there was no official CM ROM for it)

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad language (im using tapatalk and the battery is going low very fast so i got to hurry ;) )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Tegra 3 itself is, but the p880 isn't. You can't do really much. There are tweaks that give you a bit better performance OR battery life. Best battery life is on stock, with tweaks you may reach the same on custom roms. Custom roms tend to have better performance. There are plenty of official roms for the device.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lux.Peria:
Damm it :( well ill try official cm rom and a custom kernel there are plenty of them so there is nothing i can do now?

Gesendet von meinem LG-P880 mit Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Labeo772:
Actually i find custom roms to be friendly with battery.

With my device and stock roms i get about 2h screen and and 8-9h overall life.

With custom roms - about 2.30h screen and 11h. overall.

i use only 2g, wi-fi always on, screen brightness 35%.

no auto sync, no location detection.

According to me, this settings are FAR away from battery drainage, still the device battery life sux.

3 Major drawback with p880

- absurd battery life

- camera quality is very bad for 8mp, it makes pics more like 5mp

- overheating constantly, no matter what rom, kernel or settings
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Lux.Peria:
Yeah i noticed that... well actually in winter the overheating point is not that bad... got an alternative to LG P880? Maybe with Tegra 4 or K1 (acutally never heard of smartphone with K1 inside)

Basically you have to flash back an official stock firmware.

As there is no specific forum for your device on xda, you should check this [GUIDE] [Root] [CWM] Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 thread.

There you can find some useful descriptions how to flash back stock firmware to your device.

(E.g. search for "bootloop" in this thread, click the first hit and read the post directly after the found post. It contains a detailed description.)

If you still need help on this, please post your question in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.
