[Palm Treo 750] new2city:
How about getting an application that device locks your phone upon return from standby? I use BatteryStatus Today Plugin by Chi Tai Dang.. This plugin has the option to lock device on wakeup and set cpu speed(I use this a lot)..

But mine's a wizard, what do I know about Treo.. but what I do now is, press the power button to get the phone to go into standby and when I want to use it again, I press the power button and it will device lock upon wake up.
[Palm Treo 750] vijay555:
I don't have a Treo. How do you initiate said keyboard lock normally?

V
[Palm Treo 750] patmannyc:
"Device lock" that you may know of isn't used on Treo's. Palm uses their own "keyguard," which uses the red END button as a power button when not on the phone. If you are on the today screen, one click will shut the device off. However, if you are in another program, the first tap brings you to the today screen, and the second click turns the screen off (and the keyguard on if you have selected it to be that way). On all other treo's, WM or POS, one click of the end button would shut the screen off (unless you were on the phone obviously, it would be the END function), regardless of what program you were in. Palm changed this, I assume, to be like most cell phones, where when you press the END key it returns to the home screen, regardless of what you were doing. Like a RAZR would do.

Thats the best way I can explain it. You would be surprised Vijay on how many customizations Palm made to the OS.
[Palm Treo 750] vijay555:
Yes, I've heard that they did - thank Goodness one of the OEMs finally saw fit to do something original.

Hmm.. from what you describe, clicking twice doesn't seem like a very big chore... I did something similar in VJOkButt. Is it really necessary to convert the 2 clicks to 1 click? Investigating it barely seems worth the effort :(

V
[Palm Treo 750] patmannyc:
I agree, hence my original post.

When you are on the today screen, it works normally. And you can double-click quite rapidly and it will work. Not a big deal for me.
[Palm Treo 750] fire00:
yes guys, its not that dramatical, but still, it would be an improvement also considering that I want to stay in that one application (a note which I'm editing) and want to get there after waking up the device again without the need of again starting application, look for the last note, opening etc...

with HTC hermes and others the power button works exactly like this and its even better.
[Palm Treo 750] mackangus:
Hi all,

If you're using it two handed hold option (the white key, left hand end of row 3) and press the red button once - closes the app and powers off.

But you need an odd-shaped hand to do that one handed!
[Palm Treo 750] pjcace:
It is not that the double click isn't easy to do, it's waht fire00 said; if you are in an app, it closes it and then powers off. Case in point, this weekend while driving to a friend's house, I had directions in my email and would have liked to have turned off the phone, but then I would have to find the email again and open it up. On my Wizard, i would just turn it off and then back on and the email would be there for me.

Gotta be a reg hack for someone to find.
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
On my device, that method doesn't close the app. It just locks the keyboard and then powers off. When I power on again, the app is still running and on screen. I think that's what fire00 was looking for.
[Palm Treo 750] mackangus:
Sorry PJC ACE, my mis-type - using option + red button powers the device off WITHOUT closing the app - just like the power button on the Wizard ;-)

My apologies!
[Palm Treo 750] fire00:
GUYS YOU'RE ABSOLUTE TREO-EXPERTS !!!!!

thanks a lot, going to dance with the Treo cause I'm so haaapyyy !! :-))))
[Palm Treo 750] scottymomo:
Option (hold)+Red Phone button is a nice alternative, but I'd really like to find a way to prevent the Red Phone from reverting to the Today screen, so I can power off directly with it with one press...Vodafone's excuse for specifically asking for it this way (every other phone's "End" button brings you back to the "home" screen) is ridiculous, these aren't like every other phone.
[Palm Treo 750] mistadj16:
I installed HTC home plugin and now my red button wont let me go into standby. I uninstalled and still not working. Any ideas?
[Palm Treo 750] graylion:
Side Button + Suspend

There is a thread at TreoCentral that explaines how to activate the side button and make it available for button assignment in the settings screen.

Second there is a small program called suspend.

I have mapped the 1 press of the side button to suspend and away we go.

1 - Click keyguards/screen off.

Also it resume in the place or program you left when you unlock it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
I recently bought a used Sprint Galaxy S3, it is the SPH-L710 model.

It works great, I like it, I got it rooted with no problem, and got CWM flashed to it and I'm getting ready to flash a ROM.

I've been searching forums and sites for about 2 days for the ROM I want to use.

I'm mainly looking for something that enhances my battery performance, the reason for this is when I first got the phone, I updated it to the 4.4.2 KitKat when I first turned the phone on and the battery life was terrible, like I would charge it to 100% and use it browsing the web for about 10 mins and lose sometimes upwards of 10+% within that 10 minutes.

I searched around and found 2 Apps that I am using right now, one is a battery doctor type thing, the other is an app called Battery Saver (root) it changes some stuff and is supposed to make battery life better, since I have started using these 2 apps my battery life has increased, but it still seems to drain a little fast. So I would like to try and find a ROM that perhaps has tweaked the battery life.

Does anyone have any opinions on battery life for any of the ROMs here that would work for my device, like perhaps which one that you have tried that extended your battery life? I know I could just try them myself, but I am hoping to save a bit of time and see if anyone has some input.

Also another quick question, is there a way to test my battery and see if its just bad? A friend mentioned that the battery could have just gone bad so I'd like to check that if possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
A. S3s aren't known for their amazing battery life. My battery does not go very far either, talking on the phone, which I do a lot for work, gobbles up the battery immensely. (Like 100% to 80% in 30 minutes.) Web browsing is another battery hog.

B. ROMs are only going to do so much as far as extending your battery life. Just bear in mind -- the lighter the ROM, the less battery it'll likely consume.

You'll do more to save battery by flashing a custom kernel on top of a light ROM that'll allow you undervolt/underclock. But, you want to make sure you flash the correct kernel to the correct ROM base (e.g. Touchwiz kernel for Touchwiz ROMs, AOSP/CM based kernels for AOSP/CM based ROMs).

I personally use the DKP kernel found here in the S3 original development thread.

Be careful w/ underclocking and especially undervolting, as this can cause the phone to freeze up. It's also important to choose a governor that has a nice balance between performance and power savings. (I like the freelunch governor.)

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
Thanks!

That gives me an idea of what I should start looking for, and I'll check out the DKP kernel as well..

I just thought of another question I had, maybe you can help me with it too.

Since I'm running Android 4.4.2 on my device, would I need to find a 4.4.2 ROM to flash?

For instance could I use a 4.3.1 ROM on my 4.4.2 device?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
It doesn't matter which Android version you decide to go with. Just avoid two things:

1. Do not flash an older bootloader than the one you are currently on (e.g. If you are currently on ND8, do not flash any older bootloaders like MK5 or MD4).

2. Do not flash any modems older than the one you're currently on. Your modem version can be found in Settings -->About Phone --> and the last three letter/number combination under "Baseband Version". Hint: The baseband version also tells you which bootloader/ROM you're on.

Doing either of these, will trip Samsung's KNOX security feature, tripping the kill-fuse, and suddenly, you'll have yourself a nice hard brick.

I know that probably sounds intimidating, but I assure you if you avoid those two things, you can flash any D2LTE ROM you please. (D2LTE ROMs will work with the Sprint S3.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
idk man the batter life of my S3 lasts 2 days where my Infuse 4g would last less then one with a new battery.....so by far the best battery life I've had in a while
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
Wew! Thanks for that info, you may have saved me from a terrible mistake lol.

One of the ROMs I was looking at was using the MD4 bootloader, so that would have been a no-no xD

Thanks a lot for all your help, I learned a few things from it, epspecially about the bootloaders and modems having to match, I had no idea about that. Now that I know that, it opens up a few more possibilities for ROMs I can use!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Fun fact: The bootloaders and modems didn't always have to match.

Samsung wanted to be able to market their devices to business entities, and in order to do that, they developed the KNOX security feature.

Once it's on your phone, it's not coming off. It matters to corporate security policy people, because they want devices that aren't going to be compromised if someone tampers with them.

And, as you can see, the wrong kind of tampering makes the phone completely unusable and unrecoverable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:
Right now I'm sort of leaning towards LiquidSmooth, Quantam4, or Tribute ROM, still sort of looking around though.

If you don't mind me asking [MENTION=4726980]Higgs_Boson[/MENTION], which ROM are you using?

Also, to the other poster, my mothers GS3 is the same way, hers will last upwards of a day and a half, then again she doesn;t use hers for much, while I'm on mine like a computer lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Higgs_Boson:
Right now, I'm on CM11.

I usually switch between two that are my favorites:

CyanogenMod or Paranoid Android.

If you want an all-in-one, there is always PAC-ROM, which includes Paranoid Android, AOKP, and CM all under the same roof. (But then, we get back to that thing about light ROMs.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vagabond007:

I completely overlooked CM :eek:

Is CM11 compatible with the DKP Kernel you were telling me about?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
personally yes after i replace the system UI with the Stock ND8/NDC one and same with the TW Framework and TWframework-res.apk and use the Stockish theme for it.....i like the stock look what can i say but im using xposed at the same time for little things here and there but if you don't want to replace somethings and want it to work 100% use the PCB theme that it comes with.......but either way its pretty smooth and fast and the battery lasts for 2 days with some gaming and listening to music with viper4android installed and making calls and texting the one thing that i would say drains my battery is watching videos but you'll be satisfied :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbnorton0524:
Wow you arent joking. This is one of the best ive seen lately. Nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Deleted member 5241571:
Wicked X, Tribute and Conquest Singularity are all 3 very good ROMs with pretty fair battery life. As stated, Kernal Settings do make a world of difference! I'm on Singularity with latest KT747 Kernal and love it :]

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronn.campbell:
I suspect that I am losing some storage blocks in ext4 when my Android device looses power. Looking at StatFs information, the free block count is going down each time this happens, but the total block count remains the same. However, looking at ext4 source code, it appears that the StatFs call does nothing to recalculate the total block count, instead just returning a value from in storage (in the superblock).

Here is my question then: is there a way to recalculate the total block count at runtime? Or is there an allocated block count that is available somewhere other than through StatFs that I could add to the free block count ti find the real total block count?

Java, native code, and command line solutions are all acceptable.

Any roms working after today's OTA update?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Your question is rather vague and ambiguous. You didn't give any description of what you are alluding to? Are you referring to stock ROMs or custom ROMs? Do you mean that you lost root or have some other, specific problem?

Most updates will lose root, which is why a prudent user of a custom user would not accept updates. Or would at least hedge his bets by using mobile odin pro or super su pro that would attempt to regain root after an update. For that matter, since the S5 Active is exclusive to ATT, why didn't you post in the ATT subforum where you'd likely get more replies?

Hi,

XDA had a dedicated thread for such questions.

There's no poll, but you can read through it a bit. Or post what your needs are and get some advice.

Otherwise, it's up to you to weigh your needs and wants... Do some research and choose a phone that's right for YOU. Everyone will have their own opinions. But best to research this yourself. ?

Today I just scored a Kindle Fire HD 1st Gen (at least I think so). The back say Model Number X43Z60.

I have been studying this thread http;//wwwxdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909&nocache=1

Will the tool in the section above allow me to downgrade from 7.4.8?

Also are there any guides floating around on how to make a fast boot cable?

I have a cord factory cord that I had made for my Motorola would that work?

*********************************************************************************************

I feel like a complet idiot for even posting that, after a bit of research I found this method (check it out) which a few people had confirmed that it work on the newest Kindle OS which shortly after I posted my Kindle updated to (7.4.9).

A lot of clicking later and my fire is running CM flawlessly!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chowlz:
I went into download mode and there was nothing about knox 0x0 or 0x1. It does however, say "system status: custom" and when I rebooted, it says "custom" on the samsung flash with an unlocked lock. I followed the instructions from rootjunky and I seem to have root, but as for knox and my warranty, I'm not sure if I screwed up big time.

Edit: Okay, so I did a bit more searching and I guess "system status: custom" doesn't have anything to do with knox so I'm okay? Also, what caused this? towelroot, supersu, rootchecker? I still would like to know I can tell if I tripped knox though.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
I believe it will say Knox Warranty Status Void or Warranty Bit 0x1, either way you will know if you tripped it in download mode. Towelroot dose not trip knox. As for custom status having root and having a modified system will cause this. It will return to Official when you Odin back to stock with no root.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply!
[Verizon Droid Charge] Kitsune7:
First time poster, I apologize if this post is a mess.

I recently dropped my Droid Charge down a flight of stairs. The phone itself still seems to work - I can boot it up, it plays all the proper sounds, and my 7pm alarm even went off today (hadn't had it on to test that before), but the screen is completely dead.

I've already upgraded to a Galaxy Note 3. I had a backup with SMS Backup & Restore from April; same for my Checkbook app - these are the two apps I'm most concerned about. I'd like to get the additional data since April 22.

My Charge is rooted, though I got a lot of walkthrough to do it - I also did the root over two years ago.

I have these links in the chatlog with the friend who helped me root, if that helps at all:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1172182

Problem: USB debugging was turned off when I dropped the phone. I didn't know any better until I'd already broken the screen. I've tried MoboRobo, MyPhoneExplorer, and Samsung Kies, and nobody sees the phone. It beeps when plugged in, and with Kies the hard keys light up about ten-twenty seconds later, but that's the furthest I've gotten.

I'm willing to boot to recovery and use adb/command prompt/whatever, but I can only find these instructions for other phones, and I'm worried that if I use the wrong phone's menu instructions I'll end up wiping it instead of booting to recovery. I'm also not too clear on if ADB is a different build for different phones... this is my first time doing this.

I don't have a mini-HDMI cable but if that's the better solution I'll get my hands on one.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
[Sprint LG G2] MeestaAytch:
So just curious...I know there are folks out there with GPS lock issues and the number of ways to fix it... But they don't exactly pertain to me. Not sure if anyone else sees exactly this so here goes:

I can't get a lock on stock roms. If I do it's after waiting upwards of thirty minutes. When it locks it will get lost 2 minutes later. Without fail. This is any ROM based on stock.

AOSP on the other hand... Instant lock. Works without issues. Can drive for hours and not worry even cross country. So.....huh?!

I have used a GPS fix app to no avail and can't assume hardware since it does work on aosp... Any others seeing the same as me? It's killing me because I do want to use stock for other features of my phone but can't because of the constant need to use GPS.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
Well I recently had the opposite problem. What I did was copy the gps.conf file from my stock setup and saved it in a folder. Then when I went to AOSP, I replaced that gps.conf with the one I saved earlier. Just set permissions to RW-R-R and reboot. Worked like a charm for me.

Obviously your situation is the exact opposite. But I don't think it can hurt to give it a shot.
[Sprint LG G2] MeestaAytch:
I've actually done that lol. It doesn't change a thing with stock crazy enough. It's just one of those weird things that forces me to stay aosp and miss out on features I guess.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
Man, that's weird then. Did you try a tot back to stock? Just to see if it helps?
[Sprint LG G2] MeestaAytch:
I have indeed! It's just not meant to be lol
[Sprint LG G2] Akshaimk:

Had the issue on stock 4.2.2 . I updated it to 4.4.2 and now it locks instantly.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Well...

Since 2000 I had been using a Psion 5mx. When this thing was connected to my Siemens S35i (via IR), I could dial-up to an internetprovider, and view websites and send/receive emails. The thing is, I don't consider myself to be a very early adopter.

Granted, it was very primitive: lining up the mobile and the 5mx, the connection was only 9600 bps, the display was 16 greyscales (32 greyscales if you were willing to have fewer battery life, ...).

(I know colleagues did similar stuff using their laptop + mobile)

The overall change is actually not as short term as it often appears to most people. But the improvements have been incredible in just a few years time, and most people fail to realize what technical marvel they are carrying. :(

(but every device, no matter how good it is, will always cause some frustration at one point :D)
