[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilowatt95:
Standby battery life is pretty good. However if you use the phone a lot expect to see diminishing returns real fast. the most I've got is 5 hours over WiFi but I believe it's possible to get more mileage. Though that would IMO involve the crippling of the phone functionality
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dicecuber:
Battery is the low point to this device imo

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ConorCX:
I agree. Battery life when actively using the device is the only thing that let this phone down. I've also found that idling on the phone is rather good.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
Try the battery thread in my signature for help.

And try the battery thread in general to see what some others get for battery life. 3 or 4 hours screen time is about the average with "everything on"... And many get 5 to 6 hours screen time by doing some of the things in Posts 2 and 3 in the Battery thread in my signature.

The N5 battery may be average compared to similar devices with similar specs and battery sizes... But like all devices, it can be made to last much longer if that's a priority for you. ?

Just takes some tweaking, sacrifice and effort.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] scopefield:
Joined the club this morning unfortunately. My touch screen still works, so like many, I just have to replace the front part.

I've read this thread almost in its entirety, but nobody mentions having any success. Has anybody tried replacing the screen themselves? Does anybody know if you can use a blowdryer instead of a heat gun?

Also, where are most people buying replacements? I see the one from China, but I'm a little wary of those so considering this: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617614

I've replaced laptop and mobile screens in the past (back in the HTC 8525 days), but not sure if this is out of skill-set. Would really appreciate some input.

Someone did replaced the digitizer and the screen didnt worked. So good luck.

I also did cracked mine screen, but I took it to service repair and costed me 285US.

Only positive, is the new replacement screen doesnt have backlight bleeding like mine old one had and was very annoying as hell.

This is first ever big LCD screen that doesnt have any backlight bleeding of all i owned.

Any other last thoughts? Should be getting my replacement screen this week.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
If you don't know I tell you, the screen is glued to the digitizer with UV glue and you need a special glue machine to do that. Any other methods like tape, glue strings, glue kits ...what ever, will not work the same way, air and dirt will get in between and you will see mark and bubble all over the screen in the long run, plus the touch/Spen may not even work right any more...So good luck. It's may cost you more but, if you went through all the headache and at the end you still have to buy an assembly...mute point and even cost you more...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] dt33:
They dont change the digitizer only and whole LCD+digitizer frame. None of repair service would change just the digitizer, too much work and very difficult to do it.

Repair cost only 50US and lcd+digitizer frame cost 235US. Looking around the web, its cost around 210SUS LCD + digitizer frame.

After I read that someone failed to replace only the digitizer, since they are glued together and decided take it to repair service instead.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
Prerequisites

An S5 that is rooted, and no longer has S-Health installed. In my case, I wanted to turn a "Custom" status S5 into an "Official" status one instead.

A file explorer (ES is used here).

The stock SHealth3.apk, HealthService.apk, and HealthService.odex backed up.

If you don't have them, I made a copy.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/103146562/SHealth.zip

Make sure you have no installed S Health or HealthService installed on your phone.

Copy SHealth3.apk, HealthService.apk, and HealthService.odex from your phone's storage to /data/app .

Set each file's permission's individually to rw-r--r-- . (Hit the Back key then choose Refresh to verify the app icons are now visible).

Reboot your phone... check its status, which should list as Official.

[IMG="ES File Explorer in action"]http://i.imgur.com/2mGBo9I.jpg[/IMG]

As an added bonus, once you manually upgrade S Health and HealthService, you can choose to Restore any previous backups... I never allow S Health to backup prior to restoring (because there's only lousy data to back up).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masum56k:

At the time, I thought it would work. Every time I've tried for real, though, I've needed to flash from Kies or something dumb to return my system status back to normal.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidrouen:
you say that on a status custom, just do what you did (add Health) and your status become official ? or you made update via kies ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primetechv2:
I actually had to completely wipe and reflash via Kies on my desktop to get an Official ROM again. I used to think Health could be shuffled back to system to fix that problem, but I think I was mistaken. The system status showed as Official for a while, but then it switched irrevocably to Custom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaTropa64:
My phone went crazy today with battery drain... losing about 20% an hour while I was doing nothing with it. I finally figured out it was Google+ uploading my media to the cloud. It went through 2 gigabytes of uploaded data before I turned off Auto Backup.

The one thing I did this morning that I think might have caused this is I installed QuickPic and started using it instead of the included gallery from Samsung. Though I'm not sure why that would make G+ think every single pic/vid in every folder on my phone and the external sd card was new and start uploading them again... and even if it did, doesn't Google do some kind of CRC check to make sure the file hasn't already been uploaded because if they don't it's going to suck when I move to a new phone but copy over all my old media and G+ decides to upload a 3rd copy of all my pictures.

My questions: 1) How do I stop G+ from backing up things that have already been backed up. 2) How do I clean my G+ Photos in the cloud to get rid of all the duplicates. There are thousands of pictures uploaded so I really don't want to do it manually.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promo87:
Well, I guess to stop the G+ from backing up things stop the the backing up function by heading over to the settings>account manger>Google account and under the Google account shut the sync photos option off. This will stop the auto backup function and in order to clean the G+ photos I am afraid but you need to clean this mess manually i.e one by one ! So, this time take the help of the PC/Laptop then manually and remove then one by one at a time. Lastly "Wish you all the best in taking out with the cleaning process" :cyclops:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaTropa64:
Thanks. I had stopped G+ from backing up for the time being but I want to turn it back on once I figure out the duplicate issue so I can continue to us it in the future. I guess I'm wondering how Google Plus decides if a pictures has already been uploaded or not?

It's going to suck manually deleting all the duplicates already on plus.google.com/photos. I have over 7,000 pictures in there and the best I can tell from my G+ app on the phone, it recently uploaded about 3,000. My google fu isn't very good though because I can find no way to sort them by date uploaded or anything. It'll be a nightmare scrolling through all of my photos looking for the duplicates.

Thanks for posting the RUU! I changed my phone's CID to BS_US002 and ran the RUU, only to get the dreaded 159 error. I find myself missing Sense, but I really don't want to revert to AT&T's bloatware-infested version and deal with their constant update delays.

Some Help Please!

Hello guys, I converted a BS_US001 to gpe, but I want to go back to stock sense. Yesterday I followed this youtube video http://youtu.be/BLbJaSMfFks to restore the newest stock nandroid backup available 2.22....4, I was able to copy the files and restore everything but for some reason after restoring the boot up of the OS was extremely slow it was taking 5 mins or so to fully boot, I think that my mistake was not doing a "Full custom wipe" in TWRP or a compatibility problem I do not know. I ended up re-installing the GPE RUU.

Today I want to start fresh, could you guys please help me with a few simple steps?

I think this is the order I have to follow:

1. Change CID to 11111111

2. Flash 1.54.401.5

3. Boot into stock recovery to Factory reset

4. Install custom recovery TWRP

5. perform a full custom wipe formating system partition

6. reboot into fastboot and change CID to BS_US001

7. Reboot Fastboot and run RUU (or do I have to have a backup restored first?)

I am missing something? Thank you.

Note: I was able to find this RUU_M8_UL_K44_SENSE60_SECURITY_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.54.1540.10_Radio_1.16.21331931.LA11G_20.31A.4145.02L_release_372510_signed_2.exe

*UPDATE: I've messing around with this RUU to avoid the error 59 previously described and I found a great tutorial to extract the RUU zip from the .exe, unfortunately the zip appears to be invalid and cannot be opened (someone mentioned that Zip Repair Pro does the trick but that sounds kinda messy) I tried to flash the 0P6BIMG.zip and the error I get is this:

sending 'zip' (633306 KB)...

OKAY [ 38.593s]

writing 'zip'...

(bootloader) zip header checking...

(bootloader) shift signature_size for header checking...

FAILED (remote: 32 header error)

finished. total time: 40.025s

Could you guys please share the BrightstarUS RUU again just to confirm if the RUU that I downloaded is corrupted or not?

Thank you again!
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] billyboy77:
I'm having the same problem. I want to convert to Developer edition using a RUU, but none of the Windows 7 machines I can find will run the exe file properly. It's so incredibly frustrating for me! All I need is a working ZIP that doesn't give me the 32 header error :(

What linux is that one
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CalcProgrammer1:
Debian (testing). I chose it over Ubuntu because it works better in a chroot from within Android. Upstart (Ubuntu's init system) doesn't like chroot or running services from in a chroot as well. Ultimately the idea is to be able to use it both as a chroot within Android (to host ssh and samba and such while still being an Android phone) as well as a full blown reboot into Debian system for playing with the GPU and using hardware that Android normally locks. My TouchPad setup is exactly this, where the Debian rootfs is located within Android's data partition as /data/debian and the initramfs init script on my kernel bind-mounts that directory as the root directory before passing over to the Debian init. You could do the same with Ubuntu as well. The biggest issue is the kernel which you can put whatever distro you want on top of.
