[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzul:
You cannot calibrate batteries in Android. Those silly apps just delete batterystats.bin and that is an Android file responsible for the statistics seen in your third screenshot. It gets deleted automatically when you unplug the charger at an almost 100% charge level, and it has nothing to do with the reported battery level!

The battery percentage as shown by Android comes from the kernel, the power management unit (PMU) driver to be more specific. The PMU, which usually is a separate chip inside the device, is responsible for monitoring, charging, and discharging the battery, among other things. There are many different PMU models, so this is highly hardware-dependent, and there most likely are no apps out there that can directly talk to all the existing PMUs to do something that's actually meaningful (which deleting batterystats.bin is not).

The only thing you can do is once in a while discharge the battery until the device turns off, then recharge it in one go to full capacity. That way, the PMU hopefully "calibrates" its battery monitoring by itself and should report more accurate state of charge values again. Measuring a battery's state of charge is rather difficult and not an exact science. Those percentage values are only estimates. So, the spikes you see on the battery percentage chart are a result of the imperfect method that is used to calculate the current battery percentage. Maybe this gets worse with aging batteries, I don't know. There's nothing really you can do, other than the complete discharge/recharge cycle you've already tried. Maybe a future firmware will come with a better battery percentage calculation method - but as I said, this is totally independent from Android, it's a low-level hardware and kernel driver thing.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
Thanks a lot. A very informative post indeed !

Full battery charge/discharge cycles seems like the only solution then.

How will it affect the battery and its capacity to retain the charge though ?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzul:
To prevent any misunderstanding: you should definitely not discharge your lithium-ion based batteries to 0% all the time. Li-ion batteries live longer if they are kept between 40% and 80% charge. At 80% you won't get the full capacity / runtime, of course, but the battery will be able to endure more charge/discharge cycles that way. As I said, discharging to 0% followed by recharing to 100% should only be done occasionally, if you feel that the reported battery percentage has become too inaccurate. It probably won't fix the "ghost recharging" seen on the Nook and other devices. What probably happens here is that the battery's voltage is factored into the state of charge calculation. Li-ion batteries are usually charged to 4.2V per cell, which is "100%", and discharged to some arbitrary voltage, e.g. 3.5V, which would be considered "0%". Inbetween, the voltage curve is not linear. That is, 50% would not necessarily correspond to 3.85V (=(4.2+3.5) / 2). Also, the voltage depends on the power draw to some extent. If the tablet draws a higher current from the battery, the voltage will sag. If you then put the tablet into standby, reducing the current to a very small value, the battery voltage will recover and increase again a bit. This is what might cause those spikes (although they shouldn't be that large).

This and more can be learned on Battery University. And here's a source for the batterystats.bin calibration myth.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrono_trigger:
Thanks a lot Tzul. You have been very helpful !! :)

I may have to replace my battery soon. If the battery life does not improve, I guess I will have to buy a replacement battery from a third party replacement battery seller.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Hey guys

As most of you probably know, as soon as you select for instance a pin for your lock screen the S4 disables the possibility for lock screen widgets. I'm currently getting around it with xposed and SamsungMultipleWidgets KitKat.

Just curious if there's any way around this limitation without xposed, or maybe even without root? I'm guessing that it's not possible, still.. I'm curious.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fivecheebs:
Some ROMs have this feature baked in. SlimKat for instance. I dont believe there is a way whilst using a stock rom without using xposed, at least i never found one, and I looked hard!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obscure Reference:
Yeah, I know.. I had it built in while running CM. Just had an urge to go back to stock for a while and was just wondering what features I wanted actually required root (and xposed).

If anyone else knows of a way, please let us know. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott2ride:
Hi gys, slightly different issue here, but would appreciate any help.

basically the PIN lock does not activate until 30 seconds or so after the phone boots up. So there is no securuty on initial boot up.

Its there if I do a reboot. But not there if I do a startup from fully off.

It used to work but at some point a few ROMs ago t stopped working.

I was told it was the kernel but I have tried 4 and all with the same result and have tried several roms.,
[AT&T LG G3] kwazziee:
I have read a lot of reviews online and magazines and is very interested in getting this phone for my wife. She only care for the phone with the best camera. She recently got a S5 but I was thinking getting the G3 for her. Can anyone tell me how much better the camera on this phone compare to the S5 or others. Greatly appreciated.
[AT&T LG G3] PapaRhino:
Can't speak for the S5 but the G3 cam poops all over the M7/M8 cameras.
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
the s5 is going to have the better camera, but the g3's camera is no slouch, it takes wonderful photos

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/C...one-5s-LG-G2-Sony-Xperia-Z2-HTC-One-M8_id3728

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/0...-galaxy-s5-vs-one-m8-vs-nexus-5-vs-iphone-5s/
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
S5 is the better camera in daylight, indoors and night i'd side with the g3. Main thing I like about the s5 camera is the sensor shoots 16x9 photos at full resolution, while the g3 is 4x3 in 13mp
[AT&T LG G3] AllTheWay:
I have the S5 Active and the LG G3. I think the S5 takes better photos overall. More colors pop out in the Samsung rather than the G3. If she is looking for the best phone with a camera then take a look at either the Samsung Galaxy ZOOM or a Nokia 1020 or 1520.
[AT&T LG G3] mkeric1:
had a note 3 anid i think g3 takes far better pics
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
That isocell camera is VERY impressive.
[AT&T LG G3] tyshemi:
Hey Rob! I have both phones and they are both great but I think my s5 is a little clearer in daylight photos
[AT&T LG G3] robstunner:
It's the best camera for daytime photos without a doubt. Night and indoor is another story.
[AT&T LG G3] chillsen:
I had the S5 for 3 months and bc i got drunk and went into the ocean to take a piss with my S5 in my pocket, it died of water damage.

i got the G3 and as an avid photographer, i can tell you the S5 not only takes better pictures indoor/outdoor daylight, but also has manual adjustments that very disappointingly, the G3 did not have.

G3 does not have:

- ISO adjustment

- Light balance adjustment

- no shutter sound mute

Others mentioned the overly simplified camera was done on purpose to give all owners an easier camera shooting experience. With that said, with all the options basically being on Auto, it still takes great pictures. I just prefer the S5's more.

P.S. there are camera apps out there in the play store (i.e. A Better Camera)
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
I just wanted to mention the shutter mute is illegal in some places which is why it's not an option, although there are plenty of mods out there to disable it. and yeah you get more control over the camera if you use an app other than the stock one
[AT&T LG G3] chillsen:
It shouldn't be forced enabled just because of some places require the sound to be legal. especially where AT&T reside, i'm sure it's legal everywhere AT&T's network can be found.

imagine a show, concert, funeral, it's nice to have the option you know what i mean?
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
I completely agree with out, no doubt, however there are places, even stateside, where turning off a shutter sound is illegal, the context is usually stalking, the idea is so you can't conceal the fact you're taking a picture of someone, perhaps in a manner you shouldn't be
[AT&T LG G3] chillsen:
you mean like perverts? like upskirts and peeping tom's?
[AT&T LG G3] screwyluie:
Correct
[AT&T LG G3] nellycruzz:
What about the lg g2? That thing can shoot some amazing photos comparable to the g3 and others.
[AT&T LG G3] 3's&7's:
After owning a G2, yes it shoots very well and I was a bit surprised that the G3 did not either match the S5 on mp count or kept OIS.

The biggest difference with the G3 so far comparatively, has been speed and some depth. The speed of the G3 focus is insane and rapid fire picture taking is crazy good.
[AT&T LG G3] nellycruzz:
The screen on the g2 just looks a bit more on the solid and deep color look as compared to the g3. I prefer the screen on the g2 to be honest. Running CloudPro 2 and the camera is just that much better. Battery life kills what i had on the g3 by 2X the life span. G2 owner and happy. Had the s5 and just feel "nasty" when i hold a s5 due to just what they did or didnt pack into the device. The s5 had a great screen but thick bezels and that horrible TW! Camera was great but just cant stand SAMSUNG anymore. G2 has a few advantages over some of the high end phones and thats all I need to hear.
[Sony Xperia M] philiptrip:
Hello,

I own a Xperia M for about 9 months now, and I have been using CM11 for over 3 months and I have swithced between firmwares several times. So yesterday I tried the Archidroid2 ROM and everythink seemed to be ok at the beginning. I then moved internal storage to external using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51763585 (I had been using this in the past for a long time without any problem) and also tried to increase the RAM using this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934360 with a new 32gb sdcard I bought. I rebooted the phone (ok till here) and when I rebooted again to flash a few more packages the phone just switced off and never came back again.

I tried putting it into fastboot or flashmode mode with no success;x I removed and reinserted the battery but with no results. My pc sometimes recognised it as a QHSUSB_DLOAD device and sometimes didn't recognised it at all. I googled the situation and found nothing helpful except for this thing which I haven't tried yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lojU5bvGz3c (there some similar tools in ebay too) and I'd like to ask you, should I try this method or bring the phone to sony, play it stupid and hope that they'll fix it or replace it?

Thanks in advance :)

Please note this method worked for me it may or may not work on all devices

ive seen many people reporting that it gets stuck obtaining ip address so here is the solution for that

Don't kill me if it does not work

Here are the steps

long press the wifi connection and select modify network (if its password protected select forget and try)

check the Show advanced options

in the IP address field type the ip address of your network (for example my ip address is 192.168.0.1)

now connect it ... it shows connected (don't be too happy) but you cant browse internet

now again long press on the wifi network and select modify network and now remove the ip and select the DHCP and save

turn off and turn on wifi

it will automatically connect to the network

if still not connected delete the files in data/misc/wifi folder reboot device and try again

additionally try connecting using and apps like wifi fixer etc

hope so it works for all

thanks

Ultimately, is it okay to allow the update while rooted/unlocked? Tried a quick search but didn't find anything. Sorry if its been answered already elsewhere!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krezee:
I think being rooted is okay as long as the recovery is stock.

You might loose root after update but the root exploit works on zvd it seems.

Take backup before trying anything though to be safe.

Ps. I have installed twrp and read up on zvd installation process and above is my understanding at the moment. I have to revert recovery which i'm looking for now.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparviero:
Hi everyone,

I have some problems while using my bluetooth headset.

What I'm trying to accomplish here is to push the headset's button, start google now and launch a command (mostly calling a contact).

On stock rom, if I try that, I got a black screen with the word "Initialization" and it gets stuck on it.

(in google now settings the option about bluetooth headsets is on).

I tried with a couple of apps like "bluetooth launch" and "voice command", and almost all the time google now is launched but it ask for "press the microphone and start talking" (I'm translating from Italian...), so I always have to interact physically with the phone.

For what I've seen, maybe the only way to fix this is using tasker with autovoice (as seen in some xda video tutorials), but I still have to try.

Does anyone has this problem?

--Unlock bootloader via Motorola site

--Flash twrp via adb or some app like 'Flasher'

--Flash latest SuperSU via recovery
