I think our best bet is to try and get CM (or AOSP/PA) working on a locked bootloader, using the ramdisk hijack method. It's been done before on the Xperia SP (and open-sourced), so I think it should be possible for the Xperia Z too (just my personal opinion, I'm in no way sure that that would actually work but considering the similarities of Sony products, it might be highly possible).

I'm just too unexperienced to do it myself atm, but I'll still try when I find the time.

Hello folks,

I'm new to this forum, I found this place very useful and full of people who are willing to help. Today my brand news LG G2 after second charge is draining pretty fast... after first charge it was OK and at the and of the day i still had 40% on heavy use. So i checked the battery stats and found out that some kind of process: com.android.browser:sandboxed_process4 is eating the most of my battery. I can't find this process anywhere and in the internet there are no information about it.

Please see pictures attached.

Really hope you will help me guys.

What's the model of phone, including the version of Android?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] space15:
Model: D802

Android: 4.4.2

D80220f-EUR-XX

Update: So i fully charged the phone, cleared the chache and data of Internet Browser, restarted the phone and now this problem is gone. I do not see this process anymore (it was for first minutes of 1% of total drain and now it has disapeared).

But i really almost haven't used any browser at all these few days, what could caused this problem ? Maybe you have any guesses to avoid this problem in the future ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
[MENTION=6021021]space15[/MENTION] well its from the browser application and the sandboxed process is I believe like if you have tabs open in your browser then sandbox process 1,2 Etc.

Sorry for late response, I forgot to post my reply :/ Good that your fixed your problem on your own!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] space15:
Hehe, thanx !

But i do not think that problem is solved. It should appear again. But strange, I do not believe that Kitkat update can have such a issue with stock browser. And i do not remind that i used the browser especially with several tabs. This process seems to appeare out of nowhere.

All i did yesterday is opened hidden menu and made some testing, thats all... maybe there i did somethig wrong...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wulsic:
Maybe there was still some incognito or something like that running in the background or other saved tabs:confused: I am not sure about that sandboxed process but I have read about it some time ago. The only thing I can surely say is that its from the Stock browser and that there is more sandboxed processes like sandboxed process1,2,3,4 Etc so i am thinking its the Tabs but i aint sure:rolleyes:

Hey guys, I am new to this forum. I have a problem. I am using Micromax Canvas 4. At first(at the time I bought the phone), ROM toolbox pro worked fine but after reinstalling it few months later, it crashed as soon as I clicked on it. Thought it must be the problem with my System. I didnt pay much attention to it. Now I have installed Xperia C custom ROM on it and it still wont start. After I launch the program, it will say -" Unfortunately, ROM toolbox pro has cstopped working" and as soon as it shows the crash message; it will prompt me for super user permission but even after allowing it superuser permission, it will crash finally. Whats the matter? Could you possibly help me oit guys?

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2xbass:
I currently use a Nexus 5 and 2nd gen Nexus 7 (wi-fi only). I love both devices especially the Nexus 5 which I use quite often in Canada (home base), US (on T-Mobile), Europe and Australia. I'm thinking seriously about moving to the Note 4 with the thought I might be able to consolidate on one device. I really like vanilla Android and being able to get the latest stable OS ASAP. I used to have both my Nexus 5 and 7 rooted but don't anymore as corporate apps required I unroot and I've learned to live without root and xposed and all that good stuff.

My greatest concern about moving to something like the Note 4 is losing the very extensive 3G and LTE band support that the Nexus 5 has. I don't believe the carrier-specific models of the Note 4 are yet known but I'm assuming to get UMTS and LTE band 4 support that I'd have to get the T-Mobile model and unlock it. However I'm also a little confused as I read somewhere that with the Note 3, the SM-N900T (sold by T-Mobile) and the SM-N900W8 (apparently sold by all Canadian carriers) all have pentaband support albeit just with carrier-specific ROMs although this thread seems to suggest the only way to get band 4 support is with the T-Mobile model.

I'd appreciate any advice from knowledgeable users about this. I'm sure there must be others who want to move to the Note 4 but want pentaband support including LTE where possible.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeraldayotte:
Differs from person to person. I'm moving from the Nexus 5 mainly because of the smaller screen, no expandable storage and subpar battery life.

For me, I say sell the Nexus 5
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dan1909:
This sums up my thoughts quite well.

I love the Nexus 5 for its simplicity (it just works, no crashes, no hassle) and the sheer speed of it. However, I'm getting very frustrated with the battery life, it gets me through a day, but I have to keep an eye on what I have running (no location, no Google Now, etc) which is annoying, and I have to limit my use sometimes if I know I won't be able to charge it until the late evening.

The lack of memory is also a killer for me. I don't think I will ever get a device with only 32GB of storage again, I store a lot of stuff on my phone, which leaves me with very little free storage, and I end up juggling what I have saved/installed on the phone. 64GB would be an absolute minimum of storage, but ideally I'd want a microSD slot.

The camera on the N5 is decent, but there's been a few times where it's annoyed me with poor performance, slow use time, and poor focus performance. It can take some pretty nice photos most of the time, but an upgrade would be definitely welcome!

Then there's the size, I actually really like the size of the N5, but I'm just tempted to try something larger and see how I get on with it. The same goes for the S-pen, I may find that I don't use it at all, but then again I might find it something that I really enjoy having.

So overall... I'll probably swap the N5 out for the N4.

I have the HTC One M7 and this is the last time I am getting a phone that does not have removeable battery(I dont like power bank) and memory. I will be moving to the N4. BUT I will dearly miss the two front speakers as I like to Skype and video chat on it. I dont like headphones.

its as simple as that when it comes to flashing

the only thing you should note of is non stock based roms, they require a bootloader unlock and if your coming from stock you need to wipe your data,

you dont need to wipe data if your going across roms with same base, aka CM11 to Cm11 , stock to stock , based to based :D

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] guitarec:
After a long and happy life, I decided it was about time to upgrade my old Acer Iconia A700, and decided on a factory refirb Note Pro 12.2. Very happy with that decision.

I took delivery on Wednesday evening and have been playing around with it for a couple of days now. Very happy with it. Traveling out of town with it and very happy with the battery life. Sat in bed this morning for about 2 1/2 hours reading various news feeds and casual social media consumption and was only down to 81% battery.

Have a Moko Smart-Shell case on order from Amazon that should be waiting on me when I get home tomorrow - will post pics and my impressions in the Accessories forum.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] naruto.ninjakid:
I just ordered from one and I'm still waiting for it to ship. I lol I'm so anxious to get it I'm trying to decide if I should root it or not. Don't want to loose warranty. I had the option of used or refurbrished so I choose used In mint condition.

how was your experience with the refurbrished unit?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ikeny:
Just picked up my NotePRO (P900) today too, still haven't fully set up everything. But I definitely can say it's one of the best screens I have ever seen on computers/tablets. The problem is, now I am see all the pixelation in my movies, and will have to go back and download the FHD versions :)

Another rant I have is the on-screen keyboard. It's fine in portrait mode. But in landscape mode, it's way too big because it still taking of the full width of the large screen. It's so bad to the point that it looks retarded. The Google Keyboard is even worse than the Samsung one. I wish that there is a way to shrink the keyboard size in landscape.

I also am not rooting it, at least not within my 14-day return period. It sucks that we can't root without voiding Knox warranty. A really, really bad move of Samsung in my opinion. The big selling point of Android being open compared to Apple iOS is being tarnished by this stupid Knox e-fuse.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.touchtype.swiftkey ;)

Set it to compact, Undock it, adjust the size, place it wherever you want and you can use it with one hand even. (Or Thumb setting, which splits it).
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ikeny:
Thanks! I'll give SwiftKey a try.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] guitarec:
I'm extremely pleased with it. The eBay auction indicated there could be an identifying mark on the case to show it as a refurbished unit, but I surely can't find one. There was a VERY light abrasion mark on the plastic "leatherized" back, but it's nearly imperceptible. And considering that mark is now covered up by the Moko Smart-shell case I got for it, it's not even a concern (not that it was to begin with).

I also use SwiftKey on my tablet (and all my android devices). It's a great keyboard, and one of the best I've used.

As far as rooting, I'm still weighing the options. I haven't run into any compelling reason to root, other than some applications I'd like to have there (Titanium Backup, XPosed Framework, etc.).

I did decide that I was not liking Samsungs launcher, so I put Nova on it, and have been very pleased with it.

All my best,

Eric "GuitarEC"
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ikeny:
I didn't like SwiftKey at all, for what I wanted to do, which is to type with 10-fingers and both hands like on a real keyboard (not thumb typing).

First, it shifts the bottom row of the letter keys, which makes it impossible to type naturally as a real keyboard.

Second, it still occupies the entire width in the landscape mode for a full size keyboard. Adjusting the size of the keys only make them shorter, not narrower.

The two other options are split (thumb) layout, and compact (phone size) layout. Neither are for typing with 10-fingers.

Ideally, what I want is stock keyboard from portrait mode, in the exactly same size, used in landscape.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
You do realize when put in landscape mode it is almost the exact size of a real keyboard on a 17" laptop? ;) That actually makes it easier for typing a lot.

As for it shifting the bottom row, no it doesn't... :confused:

But everyone has their own preferences. In truth a lot isn't thought out well for 12.2" in landscape. (Apps tend to be horrible, some don't even have landscape mode.)

Try this one (The Tablet variant of A.I. Type Keyboard). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aitype.android.tablet

It allows you to resize the compact mode to your liking by holding the resize button and dragging it. It's not perfect, but it's another option, at least. Has themes to make it look more like stock, if you prefer.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
I always felt that something was different about swiftkey in landscape but didn't bother to compare against samsung keyboard until today due to this thread.

The keys are shifted The lack of shift on the bottom row is the worst part. Swiftkey on top, Samsung stock on bottom.

That said, I can't type worth a darn on any of them LOL!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Lack of shift? Uh, it's on the left? The up arrow? :p And twice tapping shift is capslock. (In most keyboards, actually).

Also, you can change the keys, layout, rows and sizes... Did you bother to look in the settings? Since when does anyone on Android use the default settings? :confused:

Because mine looks like this. (Yes, the number row is also a setting.)

And another excellent keyboard, but one you can't make thinner (just higher), is Hacker's Keyboard. As a writer, this is my go-to keyboard if I need to type more than 150 words. Why? Because I can turn off that stupid suggestionbar, it has a great many more keys, and it just works better than any other I ran into. Give it a try, it's free anyway. (Originally meant for coding, so meant for lots of typing.)

I've tried stock. It's rubbish if you write more than 4 pages.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] naruto.ninjakid:
Im going to get a Bluetooth keyboard anyway. I want to see the whole screen when I type. Was looking at this one. You guys have any suggestions ?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009JPBPWO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1FI0UQKWOQSYG&coliid=I3TVB1N08LP7GL

Also , have any of you rooted your devices ?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Tried that one for a day, returned it.

The bulge makes it near impossible to properly store in a bag or sleeve. especially with the case it's almost 3cm thick.

It's relatively heavy.

It uses 4 AAA batteries that last about 8 hours. (more weight, yay..)

And it has a sticky-key problem.

Although price wise it's a decent enough deal. You can't expect top-notch for that price these days. (I remember when keyboard + Mouse combos with good quality and dedicated keys you could seriously game with were 15 quid, where did those days go?)

I've got this one, but it's 90-100 quid: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/bluetooth-illuminated-keyboard-k810?crid=26

It's got illuminated keys, rechargable battery that lasts several months with intensive use, off switch, is the exact width of the tablet (useful if you use a sleeve like me) and it pairs to three bluetooth devices at once so you can switch with the press of a button. Although the downside for some might be that it's almost flat, so it doesn't have an angle. (If you're a laptop user, you'll probably not mind.)

But the price is a bit steep if you're not looking for something to write entire novels on or to last years with. I bought it so I could use it for a long time and a lot.

Another alternative is the Logitech sleeve. (Which is even more expensive). http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/product/pro?crid=1242 Samsung has one too, but it's less well thought out.

Or, if you intend the leave the keyboard in one spot, you can consider a USB OTG adapter. The Logitech Unifiers work with the tab, so you can pair any Unifier-enabled Keyboard&mouse to the little thing and use that with your tab. This is a thing to consider, as some of the tabs (The p900 seems to be the most common) has issues with Bluetooth+WiFi. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-pro-12/help/wifi-disconnects-bluetooth-device-t2851406 And it enables you to get a decent mouse (those Bluetooth ones are so tiny...) for using with it as well. (I love using my M705 with it.)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] muzzy996:
Shift as in the alignment of the F and C keys in the default layout, not shift as in the shift key.

Response was in terms of the previous person's comment about the improper alignment of the bottom row, so no . . I didn't . . clearly he/she did not either . . to be honest I gave Swiftkey a revisit with the note pro months ago and wrote it off since it had issues with multi-window at the time.

I'll test out the other suggested keyboard, thanks for those suggestions!

BTW what's with the snarky replies?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 General] ShadowLea:
Why do people constantly assume it's meant to be snarky? :confused: It's not! That's your own perception...

Honestly people, I don't do adapting to other people's views on how I should be according to their perception of behavior, (It's called Aspergers.) don't assume me to fit into such. It's a fatal mistake.

It still has issues with Multiwindow. Most keyboards do, Samsung did something to make it near-impossible to implement into 3rd party keyboards. Which is irritating, because the stock keyboard has zero modification options.

I find that SwiftKey provides the best for me for short bursts (like forum replies), but if I have to do any serious writing, I'll break out the Bluetooth keyboard and get it done.
