[Nexus 5 General] alphamerik:
Hi All,

I am a new Nexus 5 owner on T-Mobile and noticed that the phone was getting very poor battery life running stock Android 4.4.4, at least compared to my old Galaxy Nexus (which almost caught fire due to a charging port gone bad).

After rooting and installing the XPosed BatteryStats module and GSam Battery Monitor it appeared that SprintHiddenMenu aka System Programu was having a significant impact on the phone in terms of battery life when the phone should be asleep. Unfortunately revoking the excessive privileges with the 'App Settings' xposed module had little effect on CPU usage.

Eventually I decided to backup the apk to sdcard, remount /system read/write (`mount -o remount,rw /system`), delete /system/app/SprintHiddenMenu.apk and other cache & data files (found with `find / -iname '*hidden*'`), and reboot the phone.

The result has been a phenomenal increase in battery life so far (less than a day granted), going from greater than %5 battery consumption per hour to around or less than %1 per hour when sleeping.

Configuration is with location reporting set to off and battery saving mode, Droid Wall set to block some apps (including Kernel), and Greenify prevents various background apps. Network type is set to LTE and appears to be using very little CPU. Kernel now consumes more CPU on sleep than Android System (SprintHiddenMenu's category). DS Battery Saver might help to extend this further by disabling all network use and periodically wake for traffic.

For unrooted phones experiencing bad battery life you can try to Force Stop the System Programu app and test how that effects longevity. The service will restart on boot, however there is probably an app that can prevent that.

Wasn't able to find this info anywhere else so hope that helps some people that are frustrated with their Nexus 5 battery use.

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
I installed the xposed module for battery stats. Did the System Progamu show up in the wakelock details? It is listed in my included packages when I click Android System in GSam, but it hasn't been showing up in the wakelock.
[Nexus 5 General] alphamerik:
I am not sure, wish I had taken a screenshot, but if your Android System use is higher than Kernel it is likely due to System Programu. Honestly I have no desire to install it again and check. I think it showed up with DS Battery Saver logs and is at the top of the list for Manage in GSam under Android System when it is causing high battery usage. Should have checked Net Logs also for more info on what was being sent.

A little rant about this program, best case it is trying to send usage statistics to the vendor (use of what? everything on the phone? how do I disable that? no opt-in or opt-out?). Worse case it is an intentional built-in back door and monitoring system, the app has access to everything on the phone and virtually no user interface other than jumping through hoops to create them. If I were a government agency trying to extract data or a malicious person designing a method to circumvent security I would look at System Programu.

Or even if it really is a misbehaving app designed as a developer tool then it was totally destroying my battery life, and as a developer I have no use for it.

YMMV though, simply perform a Force Stop on System Programu and see if your battery life is better when sleeping.

*Edit:

And maybe I am entering into crazy guy territory but I find it interesting that SprintHiddenMenu and System Programu both start with the letter S and end with the U. su indeed....
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
I'm just trying to figure out if I have the issue in the first place. If I leave my phone overnight, it only goes down by about 2-3% in 8 hours. During the day though is when the drain during sleep becomes higher.
[Nexus 5 General] alphamerik:
Best way to figure out if it is having an effect on your battery life is just to Force Stop and see what happens, collect new battery stats.

It is a useless app, some people use it for the RTN functionality, which I have no use, and it was clearly trying to do stuff that I was not asking it to.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
If you're not on Sprint I don't think there's any issue with just deleting the .apk. Lol
[Nexus 5 General] alphamerik:
From what I have read this actually provides the RTN menus on GSM phones that automatically work on CDMA networks like Sprint. It smells like evil though with all that extra functionality.

If I remember right the app was LG branded, and exists on phones other than the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] Elluel:
I deleted it from my ROM as I'm in Australia and have no need for it :p

It was causing a pointless wakelock on my device which is why I removed it in the first place. :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
I don't think it ever runs on my phone. I tried to force close it and it's greyed out. I've been checking for the past couple of hours and it seems like it's not running. I did try to greenify before force close, but I de-greenified it. So I guess it might come back when something triggers it. However, my Android system does use more than the kernel.
[Verizon LG G3] scy1192:
I noticed on my G3 that if I have only a bar or two of 1X or 3G, everything will stop loading. For example, earlier today I was loading up a large image using 3G, and it would stop loading whenever there was one bar of signal and would resume loading with two bars. I also noticed that websites would time out when I had one bar but with two they would load. It doesn't happen on LTE and seeing this on 1X could simply be because 1X is too slow to load anything, really. Anyone else experience this?
[Verizon LG G3] bobcat987:
I haven't found myself in this situation yet with my g3, but my galaxy s3 displayed the same behavior. This isn't too surprising for a fringe connection, a classic trick to boost signal is to reduce bandwidth (everytime bandwidth is halved, signal increases by 3dB). If your connection is poor enough it stands to reason your bandwidth would drop to useless range.
[Verizon LG G3] osifervic:
Mine does the exact same thing. You may be in a poor coverage area.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] wolfspider55:
i was attempting to install a custom boot animation and in the process ended up deleting 3 important files :eek:. My tablet still works, but now it won't show a boot animation and it wont go into sleep mode when the power button is pressed. If someone can load the 3 files onto the internet somewhere for me to download I'd be really grateful.

The files are located under system (not sys) and then media.

The files were called Disconnected.qmg, but sadly I forgot the names of the other 2. I know they both start with boot and the second one has loop at the end of it. They are both .qmg files. Any help is much appreciated.

If anyone knows of another way to fix this then please tell me. Thanks to those who help! :laugh::victory::D

I will continue to investigate this problem, in the mean time

Anybody have a clue ?

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
Could you, if you can, please upload an SD image, of an offical QTEK ROM ?

Maybe that will allow me to upgrade....

Thanks for your help so far !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
Ok, thanks everbody for their kind help.

I've investigated deeper, and if you have a G3 with an G4 SPL you are screwed, the only way to recover is to do a hardware level fix, that is to move the flash chip to a good G3 with the correct SPL still in memory and then flash it, then move the chip back into your phone.

in short:

NEVER, EVER MIX the IPL/SPL of ANY G3 or G4 device, you will brick your phone !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] DoCtOr_X:
But there must be some way?

Is there no guru to help us?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
Trust me, the only way to do it, is at hardware level, I don't know how your SMD skills are, but good luck !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] DoCtOr_X:
What about JTAG

I also investigated about this G4 on G3 DOC issue.

The only working method is "JTAG"

There is only one person who knows the "test points" for this procedure.

Can u ask "ARC" to tell us the test points or can we discover therse????
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Jesterz:
with JTAG you can flash the chip, yes, but indeed you need to find the points on the motherboard, and figure out how to re-flash the chip using JTAG (not the normal flash tools)

plus you probably have to solder some leads onto your motherboard,

UNLESS YOU ARE VERY SKILLED WITH SOLDERING/SMD Equipment DO NOT TRY IT!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] DoCtOr_X:
OK, then please keep me updated if you have any success..

But isnt "JTAG" easier than to move the flash chip all the way to another working device and again to put it back.

I m bit confused.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] DoCtOr_X:
And how can u move DOC between sets without soldering??????????
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 Software Upgrading] Val3r10:
Just a dummy question: before dumping my ROM I do need to CID unlock, but doing so I'm heavly modifying my device (OS 1.x and so on)...

(I tried with the dump and got the well known message: "You didn't get the proper security level to download a specific image")

Is there any working method to take a full original image of a G3 device BEFORE doing any other invasive action on that ?

Thanks everybody

P.S.: Jesterz, how did you brick your G3 signature S200 ? :o:o:o

[General Questions and Answers] surgehtc:
I screwed up my HTC One and I'm going to go to Verizon. The phone is rooted, s-off and unbootable because 1. Corrupt OS Flash 2. Corrupt Hboot

Anyways, how do you think I should approach the CS rep?

I thought of several methods (below) please tell me what would you would do and and any suggestions.

1. Lie about it

a. "Hey man. I plugged in my phone to charge last night and this morning I tried to power it on and it doesn't work now. I have no idea what happened."

b. "This is my Mom's phone and I don't know what the hell she did to it. Now it does not work and I have no clue."

2. Incomplete truth

a. Have my mother say "This my son's phone and he was messing around with it and it doesn't work now. I don't know what he did."

3. Be upfront about it

a. "Look man, I be straight up. I was trying to fix my phone because it wasn't receiving updates properly. I tried following the advice of some forums and now it does not work. What can you do for me?"

Thanks,

surgehtc
[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
3, be up front so they know what they're dealing with. They won't cut you off, you were just trying to fix it yourself.

Just explain what you did and if so they can help you and all maybe even state that you can send it in for a repair.

Or you can slightly twist the truth, it's all up to you on how honest you want to be.

The lag is pretty bad and my phones circles around it (i have the OnePlus One).

KNOWN BUGS:

- Unfortunately the better defaults for the KowalskiManager App don't stick. This was my last change to the ROM and the app does not seem to like the permissions to be set to owner and group system. As I have no clue which uid gets applied for the app I don't know how to easily fix this.

(nevertheless... see the attached Screenshots for the defaults I recommend)

INTERESTING FINDINGS:

- The P990 is capable of handling 128GB microsd cards (for those, who would need to buy a bigger sd card). I have bought it for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, which is able to handle it as well.
