[Firefox OS General] hackint0sh:
Hi,

to be honestly - I hate the developers of the Geeksphone. For several reasons:

1. The Android Project is just ****ed up - no USB drivers for PC / MAC (really, you have to put out the SD to copy data!)

2. in the beginning the battery had huge drainage - it just held not even a day (after some updates it's okay and useable!)

3. There are no updates since more than a month. In the beginning there were plenty updates for both systems - every week for android! Now I think they stopped the support.. don't know why

4. Firefox OS has plenty bugs, too - that's why no one uses it. No apps is not a bug - but the hardware keys always shine (that's a battery drainer without purpose - I mean under Android they go off after not touching them. Under FFOS they always stress me). Also other smaller bugs..

5. The most interesting feature - Dual boot - there is no actual dual boot (and never will be) - you can only use and flash 1 OS. Android or FireFox os.. or other os. =>

6. Other OS ? There are no other os! I am really sad that I bought a phone with the ability to flash other OS and there are no! You simply can use 2 buggy OS, none of them are really special or work perfectly.

7. The screen resolution of the phone isn't really nice and bright. I can't understand how they did this. Not even 720p. You can count the pixels in nearly every app..

8. No new updates any more ?! Mhh, don't know but no support from Hackers, no support from Geeksphone themselves - no Android, no FFOS updates (okay they said they would release FFOS 2.0 - but I believe there are still like no APPS in the store, probably other bugs, too but didn't test it).. and no OTHER OS! Okay, you have the ability but if no one releases one - that's a pity! :(

9. No accessories - you can get a pouch for this phone, but no better batteries, no other things.. I didn't even found replacement screen or something (don't need one, just in case)..

To be honestly - simply get another phone. Maybe Jollaphone, or Fairphone (which may get open webos support or firefox or others as well), or wait for Neo900 (Nokia N900 case with better hardware) or something else.

If you are fine with all those problems and bugs - then go ahead and buy one.

I'm just an honest user.. currently I use my HP Pre 3, Huawei Mate, Galaxy Camera as everyday devices, the Geeksphone more or less for spair and for music outside or something..

Greetz from Germany! :)
[Firefox OS General] TheEternalAbyss:
Greetz from USA :)

Wow, everything that you said is quite interesting. I honestly don't care too much if there are bugs since Android has always had issues (and I'm talking official releases. That's why there are so many updates and each device can't guarantee it works because between Android changes, and hardware manufacturers customizations...it's a giant mess). I currently have a Open ZTE with a prerelease of FFOS 1.3 :) so like I said, a few bugs isn't a big deal.

No usb drivers is just plain silly though. Seriously that's pretty dumb :\

Thanks for the suggestions though, I'll check them out :)

I hadn't heard of Sailfish OS either. looks very interesting. I really am interested in FireFox OS though and I'd love to keep using it and watch it mature :) It really has great potential. That's why I thought it woul dbe nice to have something that allows me to switch between OS. I'm happy to consider other alternatives, so please anyone, keep the suggestions coming :)

i have Note 3 SM-N9005 locked to U.S. Cellular. So i have 2 questions

1. Can be int.unlocked?

2. Where and how much will cost?

thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
1. Sure.

2. I used http://www.cellunlocker.net/ to unlock my N900W8 in Canada, but it has all Note 3 variants available. I'm in no way affiliated with this, just sharing my experience.

Hello fellow XDA users, I have another mod over here and it is exactly unique as I havent seen a guide like this.

What is this all about?

This is a Power Menu, a renewed and redux Power Menu of mine, I am sharing this to everyone for they surely want it too. This mod compose of the following:

Screenshot:

This modification comprises of the GlobalAction.java and framework-res and lil trick, I modified the AOSP GlobalAction.java and make it in stock (I gurantee no problem at all.) So the data network list adapter wasnt added back but I am doing everything I could just to bring it back again and again. Since I am annoyed too that there is no data network overthere. Also I tried to port the smali to stock but I am having a problem with Verification Error(I think the API is the cause, the invoke gA, g0, p0 thingy. LOL.)

This also work with other device since its AOSP made. I dont knew where to put the thread around the XDA , I only knew this Galaxy Y Forum cause it rocks and hell awesome.

Enough said, Ill be dividing this guide unto parts. The android.policy.jar and the framework-res.apk

Greets,

i think i've seen this before... hell yeah from spacecaker's github :D nice guide bro! i'm making an API for view theming, like position changing and color changing, well i dont think you guys need it :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] PineappleOwl:
He has but we are kinda bit similar I fork from CMX. ?

It will be a giant leap to our device. Good luck buddy ?

but use source from cmx

i try to port this but failed..may be im very noob in java :D :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] PineappleOwl:
Hehe i dont know yet how but ill do it if i need hehehe

Try apktool hehe

Great job bro

let me try now.:laugh:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] pritish sahoo:
help me bro

i hv followed ur tutorial but its not working :'(

when i press & hold power key its giving hotboot :(

can u give me ur Public.xml........

atually a hv already added reboot,recovery & screenshot so i hv not changed my icons with urs cause i hv already the icons with same name....

so i just change public values with mine one.........

my device is hdpi SC6820 Micromax a65....... i m attached my logcat..... plzzz help me
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] aldzi:
Nothing error,but when i hit the power button,always do hotboot not appearing epm,any help?problem with public code/smali?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] PineappleOwl:
Sort off. Can you take a logcat sir? :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] SpaceCaker:
Porting the one of cmx requires a lot of changes

Even when i added some.onyouch functions and working seekbar with onpress volume change it didnt worked because well its displayed in some sort of toast
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AuliaYF:
im thinking about using Dialog and a Timer, when UP even triggered from onTouch it will run the timer.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] SpaceCaker:
But that will be a service that needs to be start at boot right ?

And to override default volume panel
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AuliaYF:
yeah you right, is that okay?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] SpaceCaker:
I do think its possible because when using.mxplayer it overrides the volume panel and doesnt show it aswell

And a dialog should work because we can customize its layouts fully
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] AuliaYF:
yeah, so what do you think? lemme try :D thanks for the tips :good:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] aldzi:
How to do a logcat? *#9900#?

I've had a search but have had no luck solving this issue.

When I'm using Messaging, sliding out the keyboard to type either an email or text (often, not always) causes it to auto connect. Is it possible to disable this? It's beginning to annoy me as the connect process inevitably causes a slight pause while the dialogue box appears/disappears, plus I don't necessarily want to connect every time.

Solution? I've scoured the settings but can't seem to disable it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] padlad:
Are you sure its the keyboard causing it to connect? I've never known that before, seems to me it must be another program somewhere causing your device to auto connect. have a look through any third party software that you have installed, or maybe you have auto check for email enabled, or possibly an unsent/ not received mms pending?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fatbarstewar:
Good point, I think that's solved it - I generally leave the browser (Opera) minimised, rather than closed, which caused the auto connect.

Cheers.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] black7:
Anyone know how to disable sending delivery reports for incoming SMS/MMS? I see the option for Messages+ which works just fine and doesn't send the delivery report when I am only on WiFi, but I still get the SMS/MMS, but when I am on network it seems the Android default Messages app still sends the delivery reports. I don't see an option within the default Messages app to disable sending delivery reports. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Hey everyone. I'm new to the Nexus 5 community, got my phone a week ago and so far it feels like ive had it for ever. Great device and so worth my limited money.

Anyways. I have been doing these methods on all my phones and so far i haven't seen anyone else trying this.

1. Speed cool your phone

If you have a heat sink from an old pc laying around (unless its one of those huge gaming computer heat sinks) it can now have a purpose again. If your phone gets hot, simply put the heatsink copper side up and put your phone on it. about 2 minutes later your phone should be as cool as it can get without using a freezer.

2. Keep phone cool while wireless charging.

I got a wireless charger recently, and sometimes the phone doesn't get hot at all, and other times it gets VERY hot (about 115 degrees F). So instead of finding the 'perfect' position for my phone to stay cool, i found that using simple cup stands or what ever they are called, helps.

You know those things at restaurants that you put your cup on? those things. For best effect, use 2 or 3 of these, put them under your phone while your phone is on the wireless charger. I think it helps because the cardboard isn't very dense and absorbs and quickly lets off most of the heat and my phone never got over 101 degrees F yet.

3. The first method can also be used while charging your phone though a wire.

Sometimes i want to watch a movie or something while charging my phone on a wire, i simply put it ontop of the heatsink and watch the movie. Might be a bit uncomfortable, so try to found a way for it to be comfortable.

Hope this helps anyone, im still working on a way to make a home made (thin) heat sink for wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
heat sink testing

So far ive built the heatsink, its about 6 - 7 mm thick using those cardboard cup stand things mentioned above, coper wire, and silicone, and some superglue. i thought tape (specifically the adhesive) would melt under heat.

So far, i have charged my phone all the way up from 20%, temeprature hit 118 degrees F (note this is wireless charging).

Currently testing the heat sink. Charging it up from 85 %. So far at 92% and max temperature is 97F but has gone down to 96F. The heat sink is pretty warm compared to the phone (the phone is actually quite cool).

If you would like to mess around with the design this is how i built it.

Took one cardboard cup plate and put a copper coil on it. I just took about 10 inches of copper wire (thin kind) and made it into a wide coil (ill post pictures later), and then hammered it to be more or less flat. Put small amounts of superglue to hold it in place. Took the second cardboard plate, and put it on top. Used silicone to seal the edge to hold. Also add some super glue to the top of the coil to glue it to the top cardboard piece.

Simply put the heatsink under the phone while wireless charging.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Pictures of heatsink

Here are the pictures.

Ill post screenshots later of the test.
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
I do the same thing for wireless charging. Instead of making one, I bought a set of ceramic/porcelain/granite (I don't really know) coasters. I used one coaster for wireless charging, and four more under my laptop for when it is on the counter or table (keeps it cool and above any drinks that may spill).
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
link to the materials? Sounds like good idea.

I have this huge granite/porcelain slab my mom uses to beak bread. i wish it wasn't a 2 foot x 2 foot size, maybe i could have used that instead.

ALSO

so far the temperatures would go up to about 99F and then go back down to around 96...i think what happens is the phone heats up, then the heatsink takes the heat, and cools down while the phone heats up again...cycle
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
As I mentioned, I am not exactly sure what the material is. My guess is ceramic. I had the idea when I saw them in a store.

You can find them just about anywhere, and decorated any way you like (mine are plain). Link to Amazon

The granite slab you mentioned should work just fine. I never precisely monitored the temperature, but I know its a lot cooler.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Haha like I said that slab is huge for an oven made to bake on. So if I had something to cut me a slice I would.

I was just sitting at my PC and I saw the little cardboard things and though why not try it. I tried with two and it seemed to work okay-ish so like I used my copper heat sink I thought of putting copper in between. Took me 5 minutes to make.

But I'll definitely give the porcelain a try.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I don't recommend putting anything between the phone and the wireless charger, increased distance means less power into the phone and more wasted into the air. Also I don't think the plastic case of the phone will interface well with a metal heatsink but I admire your tenacity.

Maybe log your temps with and without and compare, though you would have to adjust values for ambient room temps otherwise a warmer day could throw off all your results.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Yeah I noticed it takes a bit longer to charge but wireless charging is never actually fast as cord charging. I get about 1% ever minute with screen off and 1% every 2 minutes with screen on.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Also I think its worth a try, maybe someone can come up with something more effective.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
just out of curiosity, completely. whats the point of this? heat is normal, especially while charging, and does not hurt the device. for the fun of it, i reach cpu temp shutdown purposefully all the time(105C), on all my devices, for years. heat has never ever caused any kind of damage to any of my devices. as the safety temps for battery and cpu shutdown are actually below the temps that our devices can handle before it can cause any damage.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Well looks like I have the exact opposite experience than you. All the phones I've had eventually had degraded battery's because of over heating. I had phones that would last 4 hours on an old battery and 12 on a new one. And that's just from gaming and such. Now charging is pretty much directly heating a battery. Also some people don't like picking up a piece if lava.

If you think its pointless then don't do it.
[Nexus 5 General] raptir:
Battery degradation occurs on all Li-ion batteries. Heat has very little effect on the overall lifespan of the battery. You can expect about a 30% loss in capacity every year no matter your usage patterns.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
im not planning on it. as i said the very first thing, out of curiosity.

now degraded batteries that early can happen, but its mostly because of manufacturing defects. the chances of that happening more than once in a row is fairly low. but you said multiple times. which leads me to believe that theres either something wrong with your phone physically, or maybe you are doing something wrong. as i said, on my g1(s), ion, og droid, nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus, nexus 4, nexus 7, and nexus 7, ive never had any issues because of heat or because of battery. i do all the testing for trinity kernel, while testing i try to "break" the kernel. part of that testing is keeping the temps right under the thermal shutdown temp for long periods of time. i have yet to see any kind of damage because of this(except for me "breaking" any test kernels).
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
True that too. But there is enough research to support that heat does slowly degrade the battery.
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Interesting. But I'll stay on the safe side.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
cool.

as everything is different depending on everyone else's experiences in life.. most important is that you are satisfied by doing it :)
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
You can say that again ?

Also...I notice that charging the phone bellow 80% (like even if I start charging at 75%) temps get to about 103° with my heat sink. But when it goes over 80% it starts to cool down. Still doing lots of testing and logging though.

Edit:

Here is something to read

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
yea, it charges "faster" before 80%, then slows down. then slows down again around 92%. oh, and that article is outdated. our batteries are a newer tech than when that article was written(2010).
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
Using a Wireless charger doesn't generate that much heat lol.

I don't use my device while charging it either.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
btw, i see your ukrainian flag.. where in ukraine are you from?
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
Still interesting
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
interesting it is, and i actually remember reading it in 2010 :angel:
[Nexus 5 General] 350Rocket:
All my battery knowledge is from that article. Has anything changed as far as running the battery completely dead decreasing the lifespan of it?
[Nexus 5 General] russian392:
I've heard its not a good idea, logically it isn't but I'll google it lol
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
do you mean running your phone dead, or the actual battery itself? because that is a huge difference.
