[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
What I can tell you about Nexus devices is this: you can pretty much do anything with it OS-wise. I was shocked by the ruckus about Knox voiding warranty and to me it's utter BS. I mean if I buy the phone, I should have the right to do anything with it. When you have a Nexus phone, when you root it, it doesn't trigger any warranty voiding schemes (because yeah root can void warranty, but just flash a clean stock rom and locking it again, it will be cleared for warranty). When the hardware of my S4 broke, I cannot have it repaired because of the knox warranty void, thankfully there's a service center here that didn't check the download mode. But I do have to agree on the points already mentioned, in terms of specs and hardware, S4 wins by a large margin. But hey, I always swear for Nexus devices (if there were any Nexus 5 devices here in my place, I would definitely buy that over my S4. Sadly, they do not stock up on N5 anymore because Samsung took over the smartphone market here in the Philippines.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
As i said i have unchecked/stopped Notifications of almost all my apps apart from Gmail, Instagram, Twitter. That's it. If i need to enable some Notifications that would be Messaging and Whatsapp but nothing else. I will disable all pre-installed apps as you guys have suggested too and see if it helps.

I would like to further ask:

1. Would charging a brand-new battery (like mine) improve its actual "hours use" (i.e. battery life)?

2. Would resetting a phone improve its battery life by erasing some possible bugs or issues?

3. Would installing a battery-saving app like Battery Guru help or hinder my phone's battery life?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
1. Battery life is a very subjective topic. It really boils down to how you use your device.

2. Depending on what you meant about reset, is it factory or just a normal reboot?

3. Battery savers are not fool proof, but they can tell you what's hogging the battery. I suggest battery doctor for this purpose.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
What i mean about #1 is that i heard that when you buy a new device having a new battery the first few days the battery is still "adjusting" to its charged state. And after a few days once the battery has "learned" how the device is being used it "optimises" to its potential. Hence, the battery life will be what it is intended or advertised. Did i make sense?

As re: # 2 i meant the whole factory reset will it "flush out" or clear any bugs.

Would you still say Battery Guru is a good battery-saving app? Or not?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
I have heard of what you meant with your first point but I do not know if it really does it like that.

Factory resets does make your device clean like the first time you got your device, so unless you don't have any hardware problems, it should fix the bugs.

I have read the reviews and they are mixed. I think it all boils down to personal choice. I swear by battery doctor coz I use it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Is this the Battery Doctor that you have? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ijinshan.kbatterydoctor_en&hl=en

Going back to Issue #1 and talking about in "general terms" would charging a brand-new battery for a couple of times improve/optimise it's life thereby extending it in the long run? or would this depend on the algorithm or behaviour or programming of the OS or firmware?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
Yeah, that is the battery doctor I am using. Li-ion batteries are interesting batteries because in order for them to be healthy, you need to charge between 50%-90%. Never overcharging and charging below 20% once a month will really improve the longevity of the battery. As far as the OS/software is concerned, it really depends on what you use your phone for. Also, if your battery is draining and you are sure that it's not the actual battery itself, you can use apps like Watchdog to see if which apps are hogging the battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
I see. If those are the apps you guys have recommended and if they are lightweight then i shall try them.

But would you say there is no risk of overcharging a phone's battery? Say for example i started charging at 11pm and by 4am it is fully charged but i wake up at 6am instead to remove the plug. Would that have any impact?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
According to the Battery Doctor App, overcharging is charging the phone for more than 9 hours. That would imply that if you overcharge too often, it will really shorten the lifespan of your battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gino76ph:
Say for instance i'm at work and its 2pm and my battery is down to 50% which i feel i might not reach at home. If i charge my battery halfway thru the day would that still damage my battery or not?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonhan:
As a general rule, Li-ion batteries should be charged between 50-90% to maintain optimum battery performance. It is not advisable to fully charge the battery to 100% every time as it shortens the life span of the battery.
[HTC Wildfire S] angelico_payne:
Hi all,

I have installed cm-11-20140726-NIGHTLY-marvel and CronMod-INT2EXT+ on HTC Wildfire S.

Everything works fine.

After trying to use the Cron's Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool (zip install from Clockwork mod recovery) CM 11 gets stuck on boot animation after restart.

Only factory reset/wipe helps to make it work again.

As I undertood that Dalvik Cache should also be wiped by this tool due to INT2EXT+ and as the built-in Dalvik Cache wipe clears the different location, I am puzzled how to make this work after installing e.g. Google apps package - gapps.

Any ideas?
[HTC Wildfire S] AFN:
No need to wipe dalvik-cache I have INT2EXT and I NEVER cleared dalvik-cache

Press Thanks if I helped

[Sony Xperia ZL] Sirence:
If I make or recieve a call with the stock sony call app, the other party can not hear me unless I switch to speaker. I tried with different people, it's always the same.

However, if I use google hangouts for calls the both the microphone and the spaker work just fine.

If I record a voice message in Whatsapp, the microphone works but is really low.

If I use Trackid for a song the microphone doesn't work again.

This has only started a few weeks ago and I can't find any solution on my own. Anyone has an idea what the problem could be?

I already tried safe boot and factory reset, it stays the same. I am really confused as it only happens in a few apps while working fine in others.

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia ZL] Puneet247:
Just blow some air into the microphone. I also have this problem
[Sony Xperia ZL] Sirence:
That didn't work :/

But thank you for your answer :)
[Sony Xperia ZL] Puneet247:
I submitted my zl in service centre for 25 days and they do nothing , always keep saying that parts are coming. Finally I ask them to give it to me without replacing the microphone as i have to go somewhere, Finally I factory reset my phone use a pin,cotton and and some water in the microphone then blown some air And it WORKED. So most probably its the dirt. For your hangouts working it might be your phantasm.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandies:
I haven't seen this topic discussed here on the M8 Q&A so I applogize if this has been answered.

I just got my M8 yesterday and didn't want to transfer everything over using HTC's transfer tool (going from and HTC Vivid) as I used my Vivid for 2 years and it was kind of cluttered.

Anyway, I copied all my stuff off my old phone and save it on my PC. I moved all the stuff I wanted using Windows Explorer to my M8. A ringtones folder showed up in Windows Explorer under my M8's internal storage so I copied my ringtones I wanted to that folder. They don't show up under setting/personalize. I used root browser to copy the files to system/media/audio/ringtones but the operation failed (I think it's because I'm not rooted). This is the folder that I see the HTC default ringtones in. If I press the + in personalize/ringtones to add new ringtones it takes me to the music folders. I moved the ringtones from the first location into a folder in my music folder named ringtones. They still didn't show up until I removed the .nomedia file. I was able to add them to the list and I assigned them to the contacts I wanted. I don't want to see the ringtones when playing music so I placed the .nomedia file back in the folder. After doing that the ringtones don't show up anymore. What am I doing wrong or can anyone help with this. Really don't want to root at this point.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theandies:
No one knows?

Guess I'll have to root.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I am rooted and still confused. I always thought you could put ringtones, notifications, and alarms under media-->audio on your SD Card (or user storage in this case)—OR create a separate folder for each: ringtones, alarms, notifications on the root of user storage.

But none of these show up in my lists in personalize or under settings-->sound. I don't want to add all of these custom ringtones I've made to the system partition under system/media/audio/ringtones which is where the ringtones that do show up under "sound" or "personalize" actually reside.

What's up with this... Further, a few months ago before some updates, this was working just fine.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_viado:
have you rebooted? itll show up once you reboot
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
No.... That's not it. I have been using HTC phones for 5 years. I know how the ringtones/sounds work. This is something else.

If I and maybe the individual who initially created this post above are the only two, then it's just something wonky with the set up.

Could someone just verify it for me?

Take an .mp3 or an .ogg file from your Windows or Linux desktop (I am just going through the steps that once worked perfectly, but now don't work at all), and throw it into Dropbox. Then download it from Dropbox, and stick it into your /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder.... Then reboot.

If you see that file when you are in Settings or elsewhere when you are selecting a ringtone, then it's totally my problem. I have not deleted anything from stock, but I have disabled a lot (but things I wouldn't expect to affect ringtones)...so that could be it.

Also, I had disabled CarrierIQ using a bash script that worked quite nicely...But now am wondering if that could have caused it.

All I know is that in the first few weeks of October, I could put any .mp3, .flac, or .ogg file in the above mentioned folder, and after a restart they were all there.

I am also concerned that maybe the 4.4.4 update might have changed something.

Anyway...whoever can help, I very much appreciate it!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
SOLVED:

I read this a couple of other places, but I guess this happens some times with certain folders on your SD Card or personal storage.

Sometimes just deleting and recreating the folder will go the trick. This didn't work for me.

So the next solution is to connect to your laptop, confirm everything is working correctly (HTC Sync needs to be installed which is a nuisance). But then I simply copied my media folder from the phone to my Windows desktop.... And then deleted it in the phone. Then I created an empty folder called "media" on the phone... Then copied the contents of the media folder in my Windows desktop, to the media folder I just created, and then, unplugged.

After reboot, all my ringtones, alarms, and notifications were in the list to choose from.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elliander:
I have a Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet (SGP561; Build: 17.1.D.0.417) which appears to be rooted. (Settings > About Tablet > Status > Rooting Status: Rooted) however neither SuperSU or Super User appears to work. (and without Super User privileges the Root Checker apps always say I don't have root access even when I otherwise would) No matter what I try, it always says a variation of "There is no SU binary installed." (SuperSU) or "The Superuser binary (su) must be updated." (Superuser, and no logs created when it fails)

Is there any method of installing those binaries? Maybe through a USB cable and USB Debugging?
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syol:
You can try to download supersu from here http://www.appsapk.com/supersu/ and install if via adb.

Of you could also root it using easy root tool: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784900

I rooted my device using the second method and everything went fine.

Let us know what happen ;)
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elliander:
As I mentioned in another thread, Easy Root ended up being the solution. It gave me errors like it failed, but after rebooting the device everything started to work fine and I was able to successfully install SuperSU without error.

this rom is pretty great

very pretty

nice features (including some i've never seen [click to scroll thing])

my only problem is that some of the text is hard to read as a result of the theming

an example would be a gmail notification

thanks for the rom guys and keep up the good work!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] moneyolo:
Gmail notification, I'll see what I can do actually, some of the notifications colors are through apps and don't use fw so it's hard to get to them but we try our best.

Other colors in dialogs also sometimes use custom colors so it blends in and we can't do anything. Sorry for that, but we try our best to override all colors to our liking. Glad you like to though :)

Awesome Rom

I have used many Roms, but this one is very different.It has all the necessary customizations.

I really like the Theming of this Rom, while setting up the phone the location and date & time setting design is awesome.

Really like the Google with the blue background almost like MIUI but better.

I would love to see more theming by the devs.

Although this is beta but its really very stable and this is my daily driver.

I hope developers add PA's Peek feature too, I really like that feature.

If they can't still this is the best Rom for Nexus 4.

Great job devs.:good:

A few Screenshots for those who wanted to see how the Rom looks::
[Nexus 4 Android Development] moneyolo:
Thanks, we go through very big redesign every build. Soon enough, all apps will designed to The Schism style. Thanks for putting screenshots up. PA peek isn't possible, cause we had it before and it wasn't working so well so we opted out and brought in Active Display which works great. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 Android Development] 22sl22:
Just flashed this rom, after restoring apps, everything seems good.

At first the rom seemed a bit laggy but after flashing a custom kenel it's fine. Really love the White UI, only complaint so far is that the icons in Settings seem blurry, maybe resize them or something for the next release?And one last thing if possible, to change contacts colours to white instead of multicoloured? Otherwise, keep up the good work :good:

So, I'm trying to fix an AT&T Samsung Mega SGH-I527. The person I am trying to fix it for had bought it rooted, then recently tried to install an update (I'm guessing the NE7 update) and it threw his phone into a bootloop. If I attempt to go into Recovery, it says: "Secure fail: Kernel. System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest AT&T store for help."

I can still enter download mode.

I've tried repartitioning it with the PIT file and flashing a MK2 tar through Odin, however, that fails every time.

I have tried searching for an NE7 tar file, but with no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get this phone up and running?

[ONE General] rahtrip:
So yesterday I had to go to the Apple Store to pick up warranty for my Macbook. While I was there I had to use my phone real quick to pull up a confirmation number. The Genius/Specialist helping me, took a look at my OPO and asked what phone it was. I told him all about it: the company, the phone's price, build, specs, and mission behind the phone. None of them believed me that the OPO cost as little as it does given the specs, and its unlocked I even pulled up the website on one of the display Macbooks. I kid you not atleast 3-4 other specialists and genius bar guys took a look at my phone and played with it, they felt the Sandstone back and were amazed by the build quality. They all wanted to know how they could buy a OPO and one of the specialists even said "I wish Apple would do something like this with the iPhone 6." :)

Apart from the invite system, supply, and some issues with the Yellow Banding. The OnePlus One is a definite game changer.
