[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larkim:
I'm having my current moto G replaced under UK consumer legislation, and will get an identical replacement. I will have both in my possession for a short period of time.

What is the easiest method for migrating directly as much as possible (including if possible icon layout, favourites, data etc etc) from one Moto G to another?

(I know I could start from scratch, but I don't want to)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siggey:
Make a backup (apps and data) with titanium backup and restore it on the new phone
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larkim:
Thanks; I know about titanium backup as an option, but was perhaps hoping that that was a Moto G specific app (perhaps one that Motorola supplies) which would make this a completely seamless project to restore all settings (e.g. does the "Assist" app do this, for example)?

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sachintitus:
Hi there,

I recently purchased an Xperia Z1 from a local store. I've received an official magnetic flipcover also for free with it. I recently installed Smart Compass app from play store and opened its metal detector function. I could see greater deflections when the magnet( inside flip) comes near phone. When i folded the flip backwards, the meter showed highest level of deflection and asked me to stop...!

My question is, whether my phone can get damaged due to interactions with magnetic fields (especially from flip covers folded to back)... If so, what all components get damaged (will that screw up the compass, gps, magnetometer, gyroscope etc.)? Should I use magnetic flip covers anymore?

Please try to include technical explainations also if possible!

Thanks in advance!

:crying::crying::crying:
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olokos:
Not really a technical explanation, but since it's official Sony flipcover then it shouldn't damage the phone. If it's genuine of course. There's nothing weird with metal detector or compass. They just work as they are supposed to.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
I recently have been working in a remote-ish location ith bad cell coverage. I used the external antenna port on my i747m and got wonderful reception with the use of that. It seems to no longer though use the internal antenna so as soon as I remove the external, I get almost no bars when I am almost 500 meters away from a tower. I dont know whats been done to make it think it should do that. I have factory reset it, did a full device wipe, re installed ROM(task's AOKP 8/10) and I'm not sure what else to do.

If anyone has an easy solution or can advise me in something I have clearly overlooked I would be greatfull :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
External antenna port? First ive heard about that.

Maybe try flashing your firmware via Odin, then factory resetting again will help? If not, its probably not a firmware/software issue.

I could be mistaken though. Ive never heard of an external antenna, let alone a port on the device for one....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
here is the link to the info I used, though not the exact same model, the port is there on all of the s3 models I assume seeing that the i747m has it

http://telcoantennas.com.au/site/patch-lead-samsung-galaxy-s3-i9300

I suppose I could try a restore to 4.1 since im still on the old loader. as much as I enjoy all the signal I dont enjoy the antenna when it isnt needed heh
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
Im not sure about what could be the problem, but i do want to thank you for the link. I always knew the second connector was on the motherboard, but never knew if it was functional or if there was a good way to use it. Ive thought about using a second internal antenna to see if it makes a difference, but long ago forgot all about it!

Anyway, as I stated before, I think flashing back to stock and testing is your best option. If it works, then try reflashing your rom clean. If it doesnt it may be hardware related.

It may or may not have anything to do with it, but on that video it showed them plugging/unplugging that antenna several times. I know from experience that those connectors are very fragile, so check to make sure yours hasnt been damaged somehow.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
Yeah, I finally figured out which boot loader I'm on so I'm going to nandroid and then flash stock and see what happens, I tested my Sim card in another phone and it worked fine so its clearly a hardware/software issue, all I know is don't use a twist tie lol use a proper connector haha. I'll update soon as internet is a hard thing for me to find to download the factory image
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrrocketdog:
dont if what youre looking for is here, but there is a truck load of download links for the i747/i747M here

err on the side of kindness
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
Just hoping a stock flash will fix this antenna issue since it seems stuck using the external antenna no matter what I've done so far, but thanks for the link and let's hope that fixes it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
Well I flashed back to stock and still get little to no reception. I really am confused what could cause this to happen. If anyone can come up with any ideas to try I would be more than happy to try since this phone is useless to me now with no reception.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
I really dont have any other ideas tbh. You tested your sim in another device so we know its not the network or your sim/account. Unfortunately, since its behaving the same on stock, it leads me to think its a hardware failure. Theres really not anything else I can think of that it could be.

Its possible that plugging/unplugging too many times may have damaged the board. Or it could be simple hardware degradation.

I am sorry I dont have a positive answer for you at this point. Maybe someone else might have an idea.

I would start looking at motherboard replacements on ebay. Ive seen them go for $50-60 before, and it might be your cheapest option. Look at used devices with broken displays too. Swapping the motherboard is quite easy as im sure you already know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] T_D_H:
Yeah I've pretty much just gotten used to dealing with it and will end up just buying myself a new phone soon, hopefully some new phones come out shortly lol. It does suck to think I've messed the hardware up though...who knows maybe I'll find a cheap broken s3 somewhere. Thanks for the help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrocardone:
excuse the inconvenience, I tell you that happens with my HTC ONE M7, buy you in the usa, and they brought him 8 days ago, soon as I turned it on, updated 4 times until it became KIT KAT version 4.4.2 android and SENSE 6.0, version software 5.11.1540.9, ok all well, but detecto sounding when I call sometimes and sometimes not, various contacts with the HTCAnd none gave the key, even I did reset of factory and still the same, sometimes sounds sometimes does not sound. Needless to say that I have tried all possible sound settings, the strange thing is this: all notices, messages, emails, whatsapp, etc, sound correctly with the ringers that I choose, never failed, call me my HTC, it occurred to me to put the headphones (beats) and others, and sounds by the auri and speaker phone (very rare)then I tried calling and if not it sounded, I plugged the headphones and pulled them, and there began to sound from speaker of the htc. If I play music, it sounds like it should be. Now I don't really know that it is wrong, sometimes sounds and sometimes not, Thank you and I hope your answer.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Skipjacks:
There are a couple of issues with the concept as you've outlined it.

1) Turning off 50% of the screen you make small text unreadable. Even in your example the not so tiny temperature values are illegible.

2) While this would definitely conserve power in terms of physically lighting the screen, it might not be by as much as you'd think. The screen has multiple power sucking components. The first is the light producing LED's. Turning half of them off saves half the power. Simple math

. But the GPU that processes the screen imaging still runs at full speed even if the screen is blank. While the LED pixels aren't working, the GPU is still working to render a black image. So turning off half the pixels doesn't reduce the power draw required to run the entire display to 50% in total.

3) The app that overlays the black mesh will require the GPU to work overtime. It's got to render the image that's supposed to be in the screen plus it's got to render the black mesh over the native image. That could potentially use up more energy rendering the black than the black saves by not lighting the pixels.

4) The already built in option is to just turn the screen brightness down 50%. It accomplishes the same goal, requires no additional image rendering, and preserves the original image design without loss.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
1) Why do you think so? As you can see on my image, it doesn't make the text unreadable (if the "mesh" is pixel-by-pixel)

2) Right, but everyone know that black-layout apps are muc better for our battery than colorful or white, right because black screen isn't that "hungry" of power

3) Ok, but there are lots of apps that creates a full-screen black (transparent) overlay to make the screen more "shade" (dim?) to save the power. It works, even thou all the thing you described in #3

4) Oh, right, but when my energy power is really low, I turn the screen brightness to the lowest level, but it still consumes a LOT of energy.

Anyway! This discussion isn't even important, maybe we should just CHECK if this may work, or if not? :)

But, as I said, I am just asking someone to create a simple app like this.

Thanks anyway for reply.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Really? No one? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] -Ric-:
it's not worth in my opinion, while rendering half of the screen black would help save some battery, the saving wouldn't be so great, yes the screen is what burns the most battery on android but, its not just having it on, its having the phone out of deep sleep, having the touch sensor activated and registering touches, etc, not to mention it would just kill the great viewing experience that the phone offers.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Though when we are using our phones it has to render the whole screen anyway, so I think rendering a half of it would be better?

I am not thinking about this app making our screen always on. I just mean to display this mesh when we are using our phones and the battery level is low.

And, of course, it would kill the viewing experience, but when your battery level is 5% and you have to do some important research on the internet - you don't care about the viewing experience.

If you think turning the pixels on is not the thing that consumes the most of the battery, then turn the brightness to the highest level and then to the lowest and see how much it consumes... (changing the brightness doesn't change anything with the touch sensor and other thing you described though)

I thought my idea is really simple to develop for any Android developer and to see if it really works...
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] leodfs:
I think that if you do some comprehensive tests, you could bring some attention.

Create one image with this pattern, put on your phone and open it with any image viewer, put the bright on max. Let it run for some time.... Measure how much battery was sucked.... Test again with the same image, but without the pattern, do some statistics with the results.

Are you rooted? You could invert screen color or make it grayscale.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
That's exactly what I was thinking about. I will do this tomorrow.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] liquidzyklon:
I'll post my quick opinion. It really depends on how the phone handles the screen, but my experience is from my old Galaxy S2 with NoLED running over night. I think NoLED program was essentially accomplishing what you are proposing (i.e. rest of screen is "off" or black) and on portion of the screen is on for the LED to hop around. However, even though the screen was black the screen was still draining at a quite high rate (~6%/hr on average). The screen needs to be "off" not just black in order to save more power.

But having stated the above, I am looking forward to your test results to compare and determine if it can save more battery.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Thanks for your opinion, but the screen in s2 is way different than on s4. The screen in s2 doesn't turn off the black pixels. The one in s4 does.

II am looking forward to do this test tomorrow ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] davidvargasdiaz:
I think this would be like a filter app, such as the found in Play Store.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Exactly. I was talking about it but I forgot the name. I next hour I will do some tests.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Ok, thread can be closed - I've created this app by my own. I mean, I used many of tutorials and examples, and finally got it. Thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] leodfs:
Could you share your findings?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
This would be pretty hard, as I have read dozens of sites and forums to understand everything. There wasn't any quick or simple solution.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] leodfs:
Did it work and save as much battery as you expected?
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
I still do not know, I have to test it multiple times to be sure.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Ok. I think it really works, but I'm still not sure. Give me few days to share the alpha version of my app (I just want to add some extra functions).

By the way, does anyone know where should I look for a list of phones with screens like in S4? I mean where the black pixel means it's off.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gsmyth:
Here's a list of some recent ones. Pretty sure the Moto X has one as well.

[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] FPSUsername:
Use alucard kernel with a kantjers battery profile (it is undervolted, so it saves battery), use lux brightness app and as I like, I link -40% brightness (or 30% if it is a bit too dark) (in the subzero zone) at 0 lux, because the screen is a bit too bright when I'm in a dark room.

I have an amazing battery life, 1,8%/h with normal usage and 0,3%/h in deepsleep.

And I don't think you need battery saver stuff.

The phone comes with a 2600mAh battery and is big enough to last a day. I could last 2 days with my samsung wave which has a 1500mAh battery (only by undervolting the cpu with -75mv and I had 6 hours total screen on time)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Thanks! But I'm not quite sure if every OLED screen does turn off the black pixels
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
@up - tell me where's the point of buying high-end smartphone and then constantly undervolting it? If I'd need a lower-spec one I'd buy it.

My idea is to save the battery when we need it, for example, when our battery level is really low and we need to search for something important in the Web.

Don't get my thread as a question "what do you think".

The main-concept app is ready, I'm making it more functional now and I will release the alpha version as soon as possible to let the people who are interested in it test it and help me decide if it really works as I expect.

By the way - I tried to learn Android developing from 4 years with totally NO effect. Now, finally I understand more and more, so this app is also my big "Hello world" in Android ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
Ok guys, it's time to share my work with you.

Be aware that this app is tested ONLY on Glaxy S4.

Feel free to test if it really saves the battery :good:

And remember! It's my very first Android app.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Technical:
Working here. Thanks.

Maybe for the future settings, we can see options like start on boot, scheduling into different hours of the day.

A widget or a notification action for quick switching will be good.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
First of all, I am happy my app works for you and you find it useful!

I am currently thinking about the widget and the auto-startup on boot.

I also want to add an option to automatically turn-on on specific battery level.

But, as I said, it's my very first app, I am totally new in Android developing so this may take some time ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] ak.6:
Thats amazing first app :good:

I like your idea, I download it and gonna test it

changing the battery percent after playing 1 hour video at 2 levels off and highest may be a good test for app

can you add some feature like grey mode in your app? (its can be like galaxy s5 ultra power saving)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] Shiftok:
For now this app has few bugs:

1. When you change orientation - we have rendering lug on white color

2. When you change mesh level - brightness makes really low.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] action294:
1. +1

2. Well, obviously, since you turn off the pixels that create light, and the rest staying on maintain the same power - you experience loss of brightness.

Great app by the way, good job.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
1. That's true. If you are talking about what I mean, the only option to prevent it is to programically turn off the mesh before the change orientation animation and turn the mesh on after it. I don't think it has any sense, as this "lug" isn't that annoying.

By the way - this is because the pixels that were off, are turning on, which proves that it really works :D

2. Action294 gave you the right answer

AK.6 - testing it by playing 1-2 hours seems to be the best way to do it. Thanks.

Thank you guys for testing. Maybe should I move the thread to the app section, as maybe not only S4 owners could use it. What do you think?

I also thought about sending my app to Google Play, but creating a developer account there is quite expensive in my country. So maybe some day.
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] disip:
I've updated first post with version 1.1 of the app.

[MENTION=6004233]ak.6[/MENTION] - I don't think grayscale is programically possible (only by modding)

Can u add a option where it turns off screen on and off very fast (blackscreen) like evry second frame is black, choosable evry third frame... and duration of black screen, thx . also auto blackscreen freqenzy depending on current app framerate this would be simply amazing so if the game example runs at 30fps it makes evry second screen black so we safe power by lowering the amoled 60fps to 30 ofc its simulated black screen
