[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vuzo25:
I bought a mi3 off ebay and the rom it shipped with had a Google folder with all the google stuff in it, and the play store on the home screen with a city background, while booting up the logo turned to gold after some time, when shutting off it shows a jar of jelly beans and said "shutting down" underneath, I flashed my rom with a devoloper china one and I can't get my old one back :(

The old one was so much better.

Also, it only had 3 language options at start up, 2 asian ones and the last was English, I also believe it ended in .21 and started with a K.

Also when viewing the update change log on the phone it was a singple update that said "Improved security on cloud messaging" or something like that

Look a whole lot like the miui in this vid: /watch?feature=player_embedded&v=5AE0bTzJsuY

The blue ones are stable versions. The first one is TD version. Don't use it, assuming you are not using China Mobile.

The others are roms customized for different countries. Taiwan, Hong Kong Singapore, Malaysia

Has anyone ever seen this before? Don't know where it came from. I assume tagged along with another app. But it was causing random full screen ads on my wife's phone. It even made ads appear when the screen was off. I was able to remove it effortlessly but it would be nice to know more about it.

So I just read this article on haptic feedback and according to it, there isn't any significant battery drain. Just wondering if its accurate or not. Here's the link :http://blog.immersion.com/2012/07/batterylife/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not sure that anyone has measured it but obviously spinning a mechanical.motor using electricity will of course have some impact on battery
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
It's just the motor will be so tiny it's insignificant drain.

If you think about it a standard 4 inch bathroom fan uses about 1-2amp which is nothing in terms of electricity usage. So imagine how small the motor in your phone is
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulpat13:
It's not only because of a small motor. It's more related to the low running time of the motor. I mean, just think of it, how much time does the motor stay on to drain any juice significantly? Very little. Hence it's kinda inconsequential.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
It seems that they did go as far as to measure it, using June 2012 technology from the Nexus One and Nexus S.

Looks like around 1% added drain, give or take.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimjongiv:
So I recently bought a fully unlocked D801 G2, though I did not know it is a Claro model from Puerto Rico. I just assumed all D801 models are fully compatible with T-Mobile. Before updating to 4.4, LTE with my T-Mobile SIM was working just fine in 4.2. After updating to 4.4, I am only getting HSPA+. Is this because it is a Claro model? But what would explain LTE working in 4.2 but not 4.4? This is a completely new phone and unrooted. This is my first Android phone, so I am still getting the hang of things and hope I didn't buy the wrong model.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:
Just go to setting>mobile networks>network mode . change it to LTE/GSM/WCDMA Auto and you will get 4G then :)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimjongiv:
That option is not available in the settings for me, and even when I force it in the *#*#4636#*#* menu, data still doesn't work. It's getting full bars and it says 4G on the top right, just no actual LTE functionality.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimjongiv:
I know that, but what I meant is that despite getting signal I was not getting any functional data (the arrows that should have been there were not).

But I ended up fixing the issue by finding the default T-Mobile ROM somewhere, and flashing it onto the G2 instead of the Claro ROM which obviously blocked T-Mobile bands... I now have my phone running CloudyG3 with LTE working perfectly fine, but thanks for everyone's help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cyberdrakula:
Anyone have documentation for the Screen Lock/Device Lock for WM5? I wanted to create a Screen Lock feature like the one on the Iphone.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] decknologist:
You can install the following cab which installs an app that can be mapped in cLaunch to use as a device lock.

The app is installed in start>programs

. . . . but can be mapped through cLaunch using the command:

\windows\start menu\programs\device lock.lnk (note lnk is LNK is lower case)

You can then use the iPhone bitmap for screen lock as the icon - the iPhone bitmaps are available on the thread at the top of the General forum.

I hope that this helps.

[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
Just got this yesterday and notice the vibration is very weak, hardly feel it.

Is there any settings on the watch or is it from the Galaxy S5? I have the S5 at full strength vibration.

I got this watch primarily for vibration notification.
[Samsung Gear Live] Brendo:
Nope. Vibration is annoying. Super weak. And won't work if phone is on silent/vibrate
[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
Your wrong... My phone is on silent/vibrate and vibrate works on the watch just weak.
[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
The main purpose of these smartphones is the notifications.... and so far this Gear Live sucks!

The vibration is very weak... most of the time don't feel it, however when I swipe down on the clock face, it goes to "mute:, a short, weak vibration happens. Then when I swipe down again to get "unmute" there is a longer, harder vibration. That is what I want!

Try it!

So it can vibrate harder... how can I get it to do that in vibration mode?

Maybe an aftermarket app for Android Wear will work?
[Samsung Gear Live] william58:
Hello.... ??? Anyone... ???
[Samsung Gear Live] Ngong0:

I have written a guide on the general forum that shows how to create custom vibrate patterns using tasker and autonotification.

[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Hi all, just wanted to share with you my detailed review of the new Sony SmartWatch 3 and how it stacks up against the SmartWatch 2. I've managed to get a developer version ahead of its release and must say that I'm really impressed with its design and build quality. My initial thoughts based on the press release weren't so flattering but after actually having it in my hands and wearing it on my wrist, I'm pleasantly surprised with how it has turned out.

You can read my review on my blog at

I've posted heaps of photos so please take a look! If you have any questions please let me know!

Nice review. Did you find out anything about how much the new watch will cost? As much as I liked my Sony SW2...Im ready to move on.
[Sony Smartwatch] julz:
Hi based on info from PC Advisor, "The SmartWatch 3 will cost 229 Euro, which converts to around £180. And that's the exact price for pre-order at Clove. The firm also lists a metal version which we weren't made aware of arriving in November at £215."

I feel this watch will be the one to show the next generation of android wear. The guys who designed the terrible black wristband should be punished. A great piece of hardware with that wristband is a crime.

The colored one look better at least.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
Hey guys, so i'm a new owner of the Lg G3 from T-Mobile. I picked up 14 days ago exactly.

Well, my Girlfriend got the G3 last night also on T-Mobile, and when I was helping her set up the settings and what-not I noticed the gray part at top of screen on her phone almost looks green. So I hold my phone up next to it, and mine is more blue, and the whites seem legit white compared to hers.

Today we were in the Tmo store because she had exchange a charger. I told one of the guys who worked there about the display thing, and he pulled out his G3 and his was the same as my gf's, with that yellow tint. Now it seems mine is the oddball.

Now, after looking around online I dont see a lot about it except a few posts from someone else with same issue on Tmo G3.

Playing around some more on my Phone, and using hers to help her, I notice mine has quit a bit more stutters and and little lag, but when I use hers, it's smooth as butter. Good examply was when using 'Baidu' browser from the play store, when you click on the omnibox to type a URL in, it gives you live suggestions as you type. Well, when i'm typing and those suggestions pop up my phone basically locks up while trying to process all of the suggestions along with the typing.

Now when I use her phone, exact same keyboard, same skin, basically everything is exactly identical for testing. So, doing the same exact thing that I did on my phone, on hers is smooth, not a single stutter when typing and suggestions popping in the omnibox searching what im typing for.

What could the problem be here? Is my phone with the blue tint a hardware issue, even though I think it looks better...

Actually, the only thing that is different is, in my phone I am using a external Kingston 16gb Micro SDHC card.

A little research, i've heard using a SD card in the G3 could cause lag, and specifically 16gb Micro sdHC cards?????

Mine using card, and hers isnt. That's the only difference, I made sure everything else was exactly the same for testing.

What should I do? I'm still able to do a in-store exchange, but only have 2 more days for that. (I call tmo customer care, and explained what was going on, and they extended me being able to return/exchange past the 14 day mark, and no $50 restocking fee if I do want to return)
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
I'm using a 16gb SanDisk in my G3 and have noticed no difference in performance between with SD or without SD. That said if your phone looks different than your gf's, the t-mobile representative, and the display models; than the issue is in your display/screen.

Knocked off my LG-D851
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
Don't know about the display models. Just hers and the Rep.

Take a look at this -

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/help/q-screen-blue-yellow-tint-t2820593

I think the yellow tint is pretty ugly. Mine looks fantastic, the whites are nice and crisp. I just don't know if that was supposed to be like that, and if the lag is related.

All the research i'm doing is showing the display thing, and 16gb micro SDHC card causing performance hit.

Oh, and which 16gb Sandisk are you using? I have a Sandisk 16gb I was going to use originally, but when I put it in phone, I get an error that it's blank or something, and than I can't format it, and it just wont mount. Though, I put it in another phone and it works fine. Than I put the Kingston 16gb in my phone and that worked instantly.

What class is your card btw? Mine are both class 4, which is the problematic one I heard for this phone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
Sandisk ultra class 10( https://www.google.com/search?q=san...DwDg&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#spd=11192417319094275433) I got it a few black Fridays ago. As far as your screen having a different manufacturer than the other 2, it is certainly plausible.

Still I stand by what I said, I noticed no change in performance in an SD vs. no SD set up. Granted the only things on my SD card are my TiBu folder, my folder full of epubs, and my music(about 5gigs worth).

Knocked off my LG-D851
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
Oh youre is a class 10. Just from what ive read ots only an issue with the class 4 16gb sandisk and kingston micro sdhc cards. Everything else is supposedly fine.

The screen from what im reading was supposed to be the way mine is with the blue tint. Comparing them side by side the colors on mine are a lot better and seem more true. White is really white. On hers, the white is like gray. The other colors are off too. I need to take pictures

Though her device just seems a lot smoother, and the battery life seems better as-well. So i think I will exchange the device tomorrow and ask if I can see the other devices to see the displays.

Just want other people to post thoughts. Do you have the yellow tinted display or the blue tinted?
[T-Mobile LG G3] mingkee:
I use transcend 64GB and so far so good.
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
I have the white/blue screen afaik. It is blue enough that I use a color adjustment software (easy eyes) when using the device at night.

Knocked off my LG-D851
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
The way to tell is when you go into settings, the top bar on my phone (blue tint) is gray. My girlfriends phone (yellow tint) the top bar in settings is a green color.

Im starting to think the performance is actually different between these 2 devices. It says everything is the same, but gosh its a noticeable difference!

So when im reading the forums and im seeing people talk about how they have stutter/lag issues, than other posts people are saying they don't have a single lag issue... I wonder if this could be linked?

If you have the yellow tint, like i said the best way to tell is that top bar when in settings. Its just so far all the ones ive seen with the yellow are silky smooth. Mine and my buddies that also has blue tint has a little stutter. Hmmm...

When im saying blue or yellow tint, it's not your screen is blue and the other is yellow. Ill take a picture of them side by side and youll see what im talking about.
[T-Mobile LG G3] randyspants:
Pictures would be great. I know there are at least two different display manf lg uses in the g3, this probably explains the difference you are seeing but I cane imagine it affects performance. It could also explain why some people are so bothered by the viewable digitizer and some can't notice it.

My screen is more "warm" or yellow and I cannot see the digitizer at all. My g2 was much more blue and the digitizer was very visible.
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
My status bar is grey in my settings

Knocked off my LG-D851
[T-Mobile LG G3] Syntax323:
So grayfox, you have the blue/cool tint, and randy you have the yellow/warm tint.

I'll post pictures in about an hour.

Randy, with the warmer display do you notice it at all? Does anything look bad or not normal at all?

My battery life is absolutely horrible compared to my gf as well. She gets 30+ hours on a charge, while mine is 7-10 hours. Rarely has it been 9+ without charging. Wonder if that has anything to do with the display... I made sure everything was done the same for a day for testing purposes.
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
Battery life is subjective to use; on a day where I hardly touch my phone I can start the day by taking it off charge and still have like 80% battery when I get home 10hrs later. On my days off when I'm more likely to mess around on my phone I can kill my battery completely in those same 10hrs.

As for the displays factoring into battery life, if one is made to handle the power it receives more efficiently than that can have an impact. However if both devices are calibrated to about the same specifications than it really shouldn't matter. Have you greenified your phone to get rid of background processes? What apps do you run that she doesn't? How many homescreens/widgets do you have in comparison to each other? Are you walking around with bluetooth, data, nfc, s-beam, and your toaster on where she isn't? How high is your screen brightness relative to each other?

Really the only way for you to definitively say the difference in battery life is caused by the hardware is if you both run identical set-ups. Even then I would swap batteries and see if that makes a difference, yours could have a couple dead cells and thus doesn't hold as big a charge despite reading at 100%.
[T-Mobile LG G3] s0nniez:
I don't notice a tint on mine. I also have a 16gb sandisk class 4 and everything is smooth. No battery problems, and I got over 40hrs on a single charge yesterday (light/normal usage)
[T-Mobile LG G3] randyspants:
I've come to enjoy the warmer tint to be honest. At first my g2 looked so much better to me because it was so blue but now when I look at it I prefer the yellow, seems easier on the eyes.

As for battery life, I've tried different roms, factory restore even picked up a second battery and it still about 60% of my g2 as far as screen on times. Even if I manually set brightness to 30% and have no crazy wake locks and apps greenified no google now etc I still don't get much more than 3hr sot.

I'm adapting, I almost went back to my g2 but the screen size on the g3 it just too hard to leave.
[T-Mobile LG G3] grayfoxmg1:
that's because it is easier on the eyes

I enrolled in this offer yesterday.

ATT charges a per-line device fee of $40/month for on contract phones and $15/month for "NEXT phones" (i.e. phones purchased through their NEXT payment plan)

This fee remains the same.

To enroll in the "double data" promotion, you must have a Mobile Share Value plan with 15GB or more of data. 15GB costs $160/mo (in addition to the line charges).

With this promotion, you will get 30GB for the same price. (or 2x whatever you were are paying for, as long as you have 15GB or more)

Thanks.....I wish they would just plainly state their programs for us old folks.....lol. :p Basically, I should stick with the plan I am currently on because I am contract and will not use the Next program.......you wind up paying full retail, if not more for a phone that could be susidized.....
