[Moto 360] v3ngence:
Sorry I'm enjoying the battery life of stock faces (with ambient on!)

I would imagine Facer drains the battery just like wearface but if you want to test, download any of the xcel files I posted then copy and edit one of the sheets and put in your Facer data!
[Moto 360] lambdaplus:
Just ordered my Moto 360! Very good test and results! I will try to add some data from my side too in the next weeks, once i get my moto 360!
[Moto 360] Jess813:
Weird, that rotate doesnt use as much battery even though it has a second animation going around the watch face. I am going to test out Skymaster as i bought it already but i am turning off all info and just leaving on the clock.
[Moto 360] 4b3ck:
My battery life seems good now after few charge cycle, after 1 full day there was 34% left :D , I was using stock rotate and simple&elegant.
[Moto 360] dmora01:
Which background use more energy, white or black background?
[Moto 360] nix4ewa:
The 360 got a LCD display. So the color doesnt matter. Only the bightness is important.

If you want to get the best battery life turn bightness to "1" and ambient mode off. And, like written in this thread, use the simple watchface.

Or there is an option in the motorola connect app to use your own design. You can choose the numbers, so its like the simple one. But you can select a custom backgroud
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
I don't think this post is accurate anymore. Before AW hit 5.0, watchfaces were more of a hack, and they definitely had a noticeable impact on battery life. Now with the watch face API, I don't see that as a problem anymore.

I usually charge my watch before I go to bed, and leave it off the charger overnight. With stock watch faces pre 5.0, I'd wake up with 86% left. With custom watchfaces, it'd be less than that.

Now with 5.0 and custom watchfaces, it's still at 86%.
[Moto 360] nix4ewa:
Good point, but I would guess the screen is off overnight. That means they are equal when it's off.

There were still differences between the stock ones. Imo the animations are the point. The simple one only changes once in a minute and doesn't display other information, which could running in the background. You could use a custom watchface that does the same, but why installing an extra app if you already have that build in?
[Moto 360] erikiksaz:
I was previously using the pujie face with the animated seconds, so at least on standby it wasn't draining the battery.

Truthfully over a day's time the usage was negligible.
[Moto 360] Techno79:
I totally agree, I've been using Pujie Wear Black watch face and battery life has been amazing since the 5.0 update. I was so comfortable it lasting me the whole day that I turned off auto brightness and have it set to max brightness, I also set it to have a 25 second time out (the max I can have) for the watch face and I've got ambient screen on. In this configuration, the watch could easily get me through most of the 2nd day but as I charge it over night it's never something I need to worry about.

[Moto 360] 3 LED:
Interesting.
[Moto 360] dlang123:
Actually colors on LCD screens still affect battery life. They have subpixels to them, RGB, and showing like a white background requires all 3 subpixels to be on. Although you never get true black with an LCD like an OLED, it has been proven that colors do affect LCD battery life.

Hi, I am attempting to root my new M8 with the Toolkit method found here, http://theunlockr.com/2014/04/19/root-htc-one-m8-all-in-one-toolkit-method-video/. My issues arise very early on in the process when running "Step 3: Get Token ID." At this point, I receive this message, "error: device not found." So I assume this must be a driver issue.

Side note: I have developer enabled, I have USB debugging enabled, I am using stock data cable, I've attempted all 3 USB ports, I've already uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, I've attempted Kush's universal drivers, I've tried uninstalling HTC sync, and I made sure I extracted .rar files to desktop. Any more ideas?

Thanks, Jack
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jsaxon2:
The Verizon HTC One m8 is not able to be unlocked via the HTC Dev website. If you are on 4.4.2 version, you should be able to use weaksauce or towelroot to gain root access. If you are on 4.4.3, you would need to use sunshine to s-off/unlock and then you would be able to root.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Jack2402:
Just to clear things up, after uninstalling HTC Sync and reinstalling it that solved my initial problems. However, after making it to the bootloader unlock tool on HTC's website, I received the "Error Code: 160. Error Reason: MID Not Allowed." I now assume this what you mean when you say Verizon's cannot use this method? I used Towel root on my S5 so I'll give that a shot next. Thank you so much for the reply!!!

Hey all. I setup WiFi tether via the xposed method. When I try to connect my PS4 or android tablet they connect sometimes. When they do connect they do for a split second and then disconnect. This continues for awhile until it completely drops. Any ideas?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
Other than warranty issues, and possibly redeeming your Google Drive space, are there any practical ramifications to simply leaving the bootloader unlocked (or, conversely, locked?) on an S-off device? I'm inclined to leave it bootloader unlocked unless I have a warranty issue, as it seems the safest way to make sure I'm never locked out, but I'm curious to know if there are any reasons to lock it from a security perspective.

I say that because right now when I lose root due to an OTA, I just boot (but not install) philz touch recovery to re-root, which I am assuming is allowed because I am s-off. (because otherwise root would be trivial). It seems that as long as I can do that, the bootloader lock/unlock state is somewhat pointless.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TikiThePug:
You are allowed to flash custom ROMs because you have installed a custom recovery, which was allowed because you unlocked your bootloader. I would leave the bootloader unlocked until a relock is required (if it even comes to that). As far as I know, that poses no threat as long as you know what you're flashing on your device. Anyone with more experience with this may correct me, as I am quite new to the HTC world.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jshamlet:
I actually only had TWRP installed briefly to "restore" the Dev Edition nandroid (and by briefly, I mean I booted it once). As soon as the Dev Edition ROM was up, I reverted to the stock DE recovery. Since then, I just "boot" Philz CWM to re-root (since TWRP fails when booted on 4.4.3 for some reason.)

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] maddy26:
Hey every one !! its me here again after the making of "color full protectors for galaxy y" i am presenting a simple guide

HOW TO MAKE A BOOK COVER OR FLIP COVER " better ,easy , more use full than a stock one"

So , Yesterday you bought a Screen guard for your cell and Oh after applying you are going to throw the packing + that precious fibre cloth in the dustbin.

Stop righ there you can use that fibre cloth to male a simple and use full flip cover for your phone..as the stock flip cover is very heavy, big and a little difficult to handle...

So Use your Fibre cloth and tape or glue it with your cell phones SILICOn case inner side

let it dry and Yes your flip cover is ready , you can even use paper tape to stick multiple fibre cloth and to make a big one for your phone according to size and need , or can use glue or stitch

(PICS are ATTACHED TO EXPLAIN MORE BRIEFLY)

It is very light soft and you can use it to clean your screen ...and you wont even notice its presence as it is so soft and very flexible not like stock flip cover...

Its very simple and cheap to make ..you can always change the cloth when it gets dirty...or what ever...

Sorry for my bad english...

If its not a appropiate thread delete it :) as i respect XDA's rules very much Thanks every one !! and yeah this is compatible with every mobile :D :P
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] gothed:
lol nice tips sir :D will try this one on my galaxy tab , and i think it's gonna need wide cloth, hahahahaa
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Accessories] maddy26:
Sure :) you should try and let me know how'd it go....oh btw You can Use paper tape to stick multiple small fibre cloths to make a big one for your tab....or you can glue them and even you can stich them :) what ever you like :P + you can even write different Qoutes or draw cartoons on it to make it look more cool :D ^_^

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kchris:
If phone is switched off in the conn manager, then it's able to use the WiFi connection.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] AlanJC:
It favours the GPRS connection because the Windows Live services are designed to stay connected while you are signed in. Something that would not happen with WiFi as you can turn your device off, or lose the WiFi signal if you moved out of range and so on.

I am under the impression that it will use WiFi if available, but it will always use GPRS to maintain the connection. Not sure how true this is though as I haven't looked at it with a data analyser.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] agent003:
On mine I just press cancel when the gprs connection pops up and it uses wifi after that.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ivorh:
They talked about it on one of the WM blogs. I can't find the link at the moment, but they said it was because the WiFi chipsets used too much power for always on connection so they forced it to use the phone. Apparently the phone chipset can be in low power mode but only power up when it receives data but the wifi chipset couldn't.

I found that even clicking cancel connection, it would keep trying to connect until it got through, then it would always send data over the phone.

On the other hand.... the reasons they gave for not allowing activesync over wifi were that it would be "insecure".

so there you have it... it's not allowed either because they are trying to save your precious battery... or they are keeping you safe and protected from the nasty people out there.

or it's a big conspiracy.

So I have searched around and so far I have been unable to find a custom ROM that mentions support for TMO's WiFi calling. Are there any such ROMs or am I just SoL?

If there are not any that support it, any suggestions for the best running S3 ROM? I am about to deploy (hence the desire for WiFi calling) and I am still running on an old 4.1.2 Hyperdrive ROM. I'd like to update my ROM to a KitKat based one before I go, but I don't have a lot of time to tinker with it on the offhand chance that it does not install clean. So I am looking for something solid. If the kernel needs to be updated to run a particular ROM, please note that in your replies so that I can find the right one if needed.

I am trying to figure if the wifi issue could be fixed on 4.3 if I upgrade to 4.4 using this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2663545.

Hi everyone,

My SGS3 keeps Booting into the android system recovery.

Some info about what I have done:

The phone is over 2yrs old. Had worked like a piece of fine machinery even after I cracked the screen a few months back. After that I decided I'd root. I did a search and I used the method provided by chainfire. It was quick and easy. Worked great. Kept it stock and only uninstalled bloat. I recently picked up the s5 and rooted it as well using the chainfire method but this time I installed a custom rom. xtrestolite to be exact. Works good so far. It was easy enough to install so I decided to flash a rom into my s3.

Well it didn't turn out too good. During the process it failed. The rom was slimkat. After that it won't boot. I didn't install a custom recovery like I did with the s5. At the time I didn't do too much research. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've done some searches and I've followed them all. I checked if the buttons are stuck. Rest, wipe, battery pulls. nothing Helped

[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] milot.tahiraj:
I have an i9105, and when I first updated to 4.2.2, my battery from 100% to about 20% works great. When it comes to 20% and further down, it drains too fast, almost like speed of seconds. I tried battery calibration, it didn't work. I also tried many stock 4.2.2 roms, I even tried two Costum Roms, like Spirit Rom, and Pac Rom, but problem is still the same, I even changed Kernel, but no solution. I noticed that if I charge battery only 80% then it drains normally down to 1%.

So is there anything I can do to make my battery work properly? Like for example do you know any battery charge limitter app, or any other solution?

Hello everyone!

Thanks to all the users and admins for this great forum. I've found a lot of useful tips here, like getting the Scandinavian letters to work, and I look forward to be a part of this community.

I've been using PDA's for quite a while but this is the first combined PDA/phone (unless you count smartphones, and a brief encouter with the Nokia 7710 which I hated )

My list of PDA's goes something like this: Palm M100, Palm 3C - a long pause without a PDA - got a M100 again - IPAQ 3850 - Pocket Loox 710 - XDA Exec

My list of phones would be about this: Nokia NMT 101, Nokia 1611, - Nokia 6110 - Nokia 7110 - Ericsson T65 - SE T68i - trial user for a nokia 7710 with TV - Motorola MPX220 - XDA Exec. Had some other phones too, but used them for a short while or bought them as spares.

I recently bought a used XDA Exec, the rom is 1.13.48 WWE which is ancient. The Exec seems very unresponsive and slow compared to any PDA I owned earlier also it seems prone to crash. I have some warranty left, so I'd prefer to keep an O2 ROM since then I'd have less to explain if I need to get this thing serviced.

I figured my best choise would be the "Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe" with a corporate install, since I'd rather be without the clutter as I wont use any O2 services.

A few questions:

1) My boot loader says "serial v1. 00" Should I upgrade it to 1.01? Any performace imrovements or less chance of bricking if I update it?

2) I downloaded the ROM from the O2 page, although I'm not in the UK nor do I have a O2 phone number. Is it safe for me two install the firmware or will I get a locked phone or country errors (got the fix for that just incase)?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CWKJ:
1) For new ROM upgrade, bootloader v1.00 is good enough. Unless you have nothing better to do, you can play with v1.01 :D

2) Those ROM you are talking about are grandfathers' time ROM. If you dare, try some of the ROMs cook by our fellow guys here.

In a ROM, besides the upgrading tools, the actual software is in 3 files

1. nk.nbf (M$ Part)

2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM, sevice providers software), do not change this, just ignore by moving to another directory.

3. radio_.nbf (UMTS/3G/GSM part)

Steps,

1. Ensure your normal mode cable connected (not InfraRed) activesync works.

2. Backup you current Applications, Contacts with Outlook and whatever that is important to you!

3. You need to run/copy (exe type) or extract (zip/rar type). You will see a lot of files including the above 3 files.

4. You can upgrade all 3 or individually by moving any of the unwanted 3 files to another directory.

5. Set device to bootloader mode.

6. Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (not ROMUpgradeUt.exe) to avoid country errors. Run it and just wait.

Splash screen (O2, Imate, Dopod, Qtek Logos) maybe the wrong one, but if you can live with it, it is ok. If you cannot, the is tools in this forum, use the search tool.

SIM locked is different thingy all together, have never tried unlocked tools. Use the search tool here for unlock software.

Good Luck
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ManWithHugePhone:
Thanks CWKJ for your feedback!

About the ROM, I know the one I'm thinking to upgrade to is almost a year old but as I said its mainly so that I don't get any warranty issues. I'm thinking that if I have to return the phone and it boots to a QTEK-splash screen then I would have a lot of explaining to do. The current ROM is just so slow that I can't live with it.

Once the warranty is over I'll gladly experiment some more. Especially if there are some nice crossbow components or wireless improvements.

Thanks for writing those steps to me. I did search thoroughly, and found many guides but yours is the most easy to follow. I'm having some problems with activesync on my laptop (although it works fine through bluetooth) so I guess I'll try it on my desktop, which probably is smarter anyway so that the computer does'nt go into standby or hibernate in the midst of the update :)

Edit: My phone is unlocked, I was just worried if the software update would lock it for me. But I guess its silly to worry in advance.
