[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OffGridiot:
Hello all,

I'm pretty new to all this Android stuff...and forum stuff, for that matter. Your patience is appreciated.

I have a SG Note 3.

I've been learning a bit about battery drain issues and how I can mitigate some of them by shutting down apps in different ways, and have recently been messing around a bit in the application manager and turning off some of the "bloatware" in there.

I live in quite a rural setting, on the fringes of cell reception. There are a couple of different reasons why I am interested to know if it's possible to turn off the phone app when I know that my phone will not have good reception (which causes it to constantly search harder for a signal, thus draining the battery PDQ) but I don't want to power down the device....For instance, when I'm out on my boat, or hiking/camping where there is little or no signal, and I want to use the GPS-related apps.

In the application manager, for some apps you have the choice to 'turn off', and for others the only option is to 'force stop'. The warning prompt that appears somehow seems more ominous for the 'force stop' option. Perhaps I'm just more cautious about 'forcing' any function because of my son having warned me years ago, with computer related issues, about how it's to be used as a last resort, and using it too often is potentially flirting with disaster.

I do NOT want to root my phone, as I don't trust my level of understanding with these types of thing. If it comes down to buying another battery or two and a charger for them and rotating them in and out of the phone, I suppose I may resort to such a PITA, but hopefully some better ideas come up here.

Thanks in advance,

Bruce

Disabling the phone app won't help. What you need to do is turn on airplane mode, then turn on the radios you want on individually (wifi, bt, etc). On stock at least, it'll leave the cellular connection off, and turn on the individual selections until you turn off airplane mode.

My device info: Samsung Galaxy S4, Verizon, running 4.4.2

I rooted my device using towelroot.com, installed supersu correctly, then whenever I try to flash TWRP via Rom Installer or TWRP Manager I get a successful message. HOWEVER, when I reboot to recovery using the app or the button combination I get put into download mode and have to connect to ODIN and reflash a stock recovery to get back into the phone. Is there something I am doing wrong here? Am I not able to run TWRP?

EDIT: After some more digging I am seeing that my bootloader may be locked? I just got a new S4 today because my screen has broken. I just want to restore my nandroid from a few days ago to get my phone back to all it's glory but I can't do that without getting TWRP. Unless there is another way to restore that backup?

Here are the steps I have tried:

TowelRoot to get root

Safestrap Installed

Removed Knox with SuperSu

Rebooted to Safestrap

backup Stock Rom

Full Wipe and tried installing Custom KK NC2/NC4 Rom

After Samsung BootScreen i just get a black screen nothing else ever.

Then i tried after i restored my backup from SafeStrap by flashing NC2 Modem before i did the custom ROM and still Nothing.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aumord:
Hello there,

I have a M3964 tablet.

I installed Boot Manager menu without knowing that the application was inconsistent.

I thought that this application could allow me to do a dual boot on the shelf but I misconfigured.

My tablet is root but has no rom memory (I can not install any application because the rom memory is 0 octects) except app2sd compatible application.

And when I restart the tablet, it makes a hard reset itself which deletes my configurations.

I wanted to reinstall the system via software but the pc does not detect the tablet.

In fact, it is because I misconfigured Boot Manager menu, I wanted to test a dual boot system with no rom memory, Roote, and hard reset option at startup (I clicked on anything therefore, these 3 options).

As my tablet is not compatible dual boot, the tablet starts on the misconfigured system.

I research how to solve my problem or at least disable the hard reset automatically at startup and change the ROM memory (no internal memory, just the ROM memory) by the memory of my sd card (detected as ext-sd ).

Sorry for my bad English

Thank you in advance to those who can help me.

Hey guys,

I searched through here and online, and can't seem to find a solution or REASON for this to have happened, so I made an account! Woo.

I flashed my rooted, cyanogenmod running N5's modem from 4.4.4 to KOT49E and after rebooting the phone, it proudly states I have low storage, that the external storage can't be found, and then swiftkey loses its ****, google play store crashes over and over even though I've not opened it etc etc.

I've wiped the partition cache and the dalvik cache, but it's still not doing ****. I'd really like to avoid reloading a rom on there if I can help it as I've not backed up in a week or so, and I'm sure you all know how much of a ballache THAT is!

so...Thoughts?

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
Hey everyone, I just wanted to create a thread regarding launchers you all use. Sense is great, but I have to admit that I'm getting a bit bored of it, judging by how I've been using it for months now. I know that Nova Launcher is arguably the most popular one out there, but which launcher do YOU guys prefer and use?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] camf3xu:
i use nova but basically just to adjust my home screen grid size. The added features are nice and i do use them, but if i could adjust my home screen grid size with sense i pry would stick to that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
gotcha. have you noticed an increase in speed/stability after switching to nova?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] camf3xu:
It's fast and stable but so was sense to me
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
Nova Prime. I try others, and always wind up back on Nova. It just works well.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
Have you tried out everythingme launcher, smart launcher 2, or themer? I like the idea of the smart folders, but unsure if they match the quality/features of Nova.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Caspid:
Nova is near perfect. Nothing else I've tried even comes close. My only gripes would be lack of a search function and folder management could be improved.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dragontology:
Nova is pretty much the best. Kevin (TeslaCoil—he's given his real name here) clearly knows his stuff. While I also like Android Does (dev team or pseudonym responsible for Apex), I tested the free versions of both two phones ago, and bought Nova Prime as a direct result.

Android Police did a poll asking if anyone had switched to Google Now Launcher since the Nexus/GPE exclusivity was removed, and one of their commenters told a nice story about how Google Now Launcher made his phone faster. Since I already run Xposed, I grabbed XGELS along with it. And I just might switch.

GNL feels a little more responsive than Nova did, though it's hard to tell. I don't give a damn about animations, so I turned them off in XGELS, and damn GNL moves when I tell it to.

One thing that bothers me a little is that XGELS costs 50¢ more than Nova Prime, and the money doesn't even go to the developer of the launcher. I know, the XGELS developer deserves all the respect he's getting for what he's done, and I know, Google gets a cut of all sales anyway, it still just feels wrong though. Also, getting unread counts requires purchase of a third-party app, which costs a buck and a half. So all told, it's six bucks, versus the four I paid for Nova. And being that I've already paid for Nova, and Nova does everything I want, it's a tough pill to swallow.

Unlike many people, though, I don't consider the cost to value ratio. Like Tim Cook, I don't give a damn about the ROI. Sorry for plugging the enemy, but that statement was awesome. No... I believe in Android as a platform, and when I buy an app, I try to support developers who genuinely care about Android and who are good developers that I want to stick around. And the XGELS developer is a wizard. Four and a half bones is a fair deal. And even the free version of XGELS exposes some interesting settings.

One that stands out to me is the gestures. Nova has them as well, but only a few interest me. Namely, swipe up, swipe down, and double tap. The others are all set to disable. Up is app drawer, down is quick settings, and double tap is voice search. XGELS dispenses with the stupid ones (who's going to remember what two fingers twisted clockwise does vs ccw?) and gives you three zones for up and down. In the free version, you can only set swipe down on the left and on the right. So for me, on the left is Android settings, on the right is Quick settings. Up (only up in the middle is enabled in free) is still app drawer.

GNL+XGELS has a long way to go to reach true feature parity with Nova Prime, but it's getting there, and it's got a few unique ideas of its own that I'm sure Kevin will address down the road, but it's nice to hold the future in your hand now. And it doesn't hurt to support more than one developer pushing the same product. They aren't really competing, per se. They're just trying to make your phone as nice as they can, and we should reward that where and when we can.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
Anyone here on nova prime? Is it worth the purchase?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] just lou:
Yes. It's arguably the most popular launcher there is, and Prime makes it even better.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
Yeah I'm currently on nova, and it's been great so far, but what additional features does nova prime offer? I know it describes them in the google play store, but I'm interested in reading how you guys take advantage of Nova prime.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Caspid:
The most important: tabs/folders in the app drawer; ability to hide apps. I find the launcher completely unusable without them. I feel almost as if the author excluded it from the free version so people would see how awesome Nova is, but be unable to use it unless they paid.

Others:

• Gestures, mostly for convenience — I swipe down for notifications and up for recent apps, double-tap for the app drawer, two finger swipe up for search (to type in an app name), two finger swipe down for quick settings (not often used as I have my own notification toggles widget).

• Unread Counts — work well. Not necessary, but nice to have.

• Icon Swipes — can cut the number of icons you need on your homescreen in half (e.g. swipe up on camera = gallery), or assign useful functions (swipe up on phone = call home).
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mdorrett:
Prime definitely worth the purchase!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] mikey2487:
I actually really like using the sense 6 launcher. i keep my screens super minimal so i don't need to resize widgets or anything for the most part. i usually use nova prime but only when i'm running a aosp rom like CM or slimkat but so for been running viper for the last few months and loving the sense launcher
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ping41:
Nova. Sense drawer is terrible. Other options are also nice.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] MARIO SHARK:
if we could use the sense clock widget on nova, i would use nova launcher for every smartphone i ever purchase.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lordcheeto03:
For anyone out there who are currently using or have used the LifeProof Fre; did you ever have any problems with the battery door cracking? I, just last week, received my second case from a warranty claim in under a year. Both times, my battery door has suddenly had a very tiny horizontal crack right at the bend just under the snap. The first time I was kinda worried that the crack may have been from a drop I had almost 2 months prior. There was no visible damage and the only way I knew something was wrong was that when closing the door, I no longer heard the familiar snap. The 2nd time I noticed the door had cracked I had been able to decidedly rule out any type of drop being the cause. The only visible signs of anything were normal wear and tear (small scratches on the back plastic from putting in and taking out of pockets), and on the sides where I had removed the case twice before.

Anyway, I was just curious how many others have had this happen to them. I would assume quite a few as mine cracked for almost literally no reason at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Wittyusernametaken:
Here's the thing, for reasons I can't figure out the build materials for the iPhone Lifeproof cases and the Galaxy Lifeproof cases are not the same. I've owned and held and inspected the iPhone 5 version and the Galaxy S4 Fre. My iPhone 5 case lasted for a SOLID YEAR without any issues whatsoever. The Galaxy Fre case had the charging port door shatter/chip for nothing but normal use. No drops. I had three replacements within a 2.5 month time period when I finally just said screw it and abandoned the brand. If they would make the build materials the same I think it would last and be wonderful, and I still definitely recommend the Lifeproof case IF you have an iPhone. If you have a Galaxy avoid avoid avoid. I think I've read that better options are the Seidio Obex.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mojito13:
This. I used to work at a store that sold them and I would often have to open the packaging to show people what it looks/feels like. Definitely noticed a difference.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lordcheeto03:
Thanks for the replies. The only reason I'm still using the LifeProof is that they send me another free case when it breaks. I most certainly wouldn't still be using it if I had to keep paying full price for another. :D I was just curious if anyone else has had this problem. You would think that there would be more reports on this, but I haven't seen mention of it on this site...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slowdyve:
Hi.

Just bought this phone and i have a question based on what i've already read.

I've owned a few devices, and rooting them involved some risk. But i never seen so many threads about problems caused by rooting/ custom recoveries. For example, there is a topic with +180.000 views/ +100 pages, on the general section, about fixing the problems caused by rooting. My previous devices had this kind of topics but nowhere near 200.000 views (and some of those devices were more popular than LG G2). After reading that thread (where the solution is using linux... :p ) and other where people got problems on their screens after rooting (depending if they had LGD or JDI panel), i'm not sure if i'll root my 1 week device. So my question is:

Is it more dangerous to root LG G2 (D80220d-EUR KK 4.4.2) than other android devices?

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Art Vanderlay:
Short answer is no, you just need to learn a bit more.

I think the thread you're referring to is about taking the ota while having a custom recovery, which a lot of people did when 4.4 came out not knowing that 4.4 is loki killer and doesn't support recovery.

If you research everything you do before you do it you wont have any of these problems especially on eur kk which is a really popular version.

Everything you need to is here on the second post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharona654:
Is there a way to recover deleted files from an LG G2? My LG G2 somehow did a factory reset on itself, and I lost all of my pictures and videos, which I'm desperate to recover. All of the data recovery software I've seen so far for android requires USB mass storage; but for the LG G2, software that works with MTP instead would be required. Also, the LG G2 does not have an SD card, so the software would have to work on a SSD. Thank you!

Oh, I almost forgot to mention, my phone is rooted, and the computer I'd be using in the recovery process has Windows 8.1. Thanks again!
