[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Black Droid:
Some good points, I will give you that. BUT, at the same time, you cannot call these smartphone apps or features PREMIUM by any means. If I followed your logic, I would be at a wedding, shooting photography with my smartphone, instead of my Canon T3i. Do you think this would fly? You can't expect to fit all your life's needs into a rather "simple" device, which is limited in many ways. Sure, maybe you can pack a bunch of things into it that will get you by, but most of the things I can do on a smartphone, I can do better on a dedicated hardware device that is built for that specific need, and yield better results. If your goal is to see how many things you can get rid of, you are going to have a hard time finding a smartphone that can nail all these "conveniences" in a way that makes them sensible. Do you suppose a writer would like to write his books on his smartphone, or on a laptop or typewriter? Do you suppose a plumber would like to use his smartphone flashlight to look inside the walls? I could list examples for days, but the point I'm trying to make is that although a smartphone is good at multitasking, it's terrible at doing things the best they can be done, which is why it will never become an all in one solution for most.

That being said, this thread is getting a little off-topic, so I'm going to let you win, okay ;)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EP2008:
By premium, I mean high-end smartphones, not premium in any specific function.

When I was sick and couldn't get off the couch or out of bed for several years, I relied entirely on my smartphone to WORK and write. I couldn't have done it any other way. I often still use my smartphone to write blog posts, then finalize it on my PC. It's been invaluable to me - there are so many things my smartphone can do that I can't really replace with other tech.

Anyway, to get back to the point - GTA runs like **** on the Note 4 :crying::eek:

Check his older video shows antutu its definetly quallcom version.

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Guys u are seeing quallcom version here even on vice city quallcom devices lag on high settings its always been like this with adreno and gta. Note 4 has good gpu on both chipsets both pushing 11-12 fps onscreen on gfx manhattan with 2k screen. And in gta my ipad air runs smooth no lag at all its mostly about optimization cuz it has weaker gpu. It has lower res but stiil can push 7-8 fps on manhattan only and everything works great so relax if u get optimization from developers u wont see any lag on both note 4 versions.

Both have best gpus out there with apple a8. (Forget k1) All 3 push 17-18ish scores on 1080p(dont check 6plus onscreen tests it calculates on 5s res but retarded reviewers dont mention it.... Thats why onscreen tests higher than offscreen.). Its best u can get from todays gpus. You can say 2k lowers it performance but you can always go for z3c or iphone 6 with 720p display if games your biggest concern. As a android and ios user if u wanna play alot just go for ios you will get optimization like playstation cuz there is only 1 device.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmac31:
Like i said dont count adreno on gta results it always sucked. Try s3 and nexus 4 adreno 320 is faster but lags on gta mali 400 is smooth. On note 3 adreno 330 is faster than mali t628 like 50% percent but on exynos version game is smooth on high settings but lags on adreno again. It was same on gta vice city and same on san andreas too. Rockstar never optimize gta with adreno gpus .
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaschaHa:
Some people are complaining about others who want to use their phones as gaming consoles. Really? If you buy an high end spartphone, you want to get high end hardware. Otherwise buy a mid range or low end smartphone. If you pay so much for an phone, although an HD screen, dual core and a 5 mpx cam would be enough for you, it's very stupid to buy this phone. So don't complain about these people, who really want these high end hardware!

Other thing is, that it may be difficult to get Exynos version in UK anyway... But at least we'll know which one is better.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DelBoy:
Will see if I can do it because I dont have tripod so it is hard to shoot a video while holding a phone and playing.

But performance is the same as medium or lower settings. It is smooth and without lag. Nothing much to see.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellHammerZA:
Depending on the apps you have installed and the frequency you use them this could be normal.

I personally use Greenify (just search on play store) which hibernates unnecessary apps running in the background, it does however require ROOT. There are various other apps you can use. You'll just have to search and choose one you prefer.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ron173:
Hi all,

Well its been a while since been on here and played with android..

Anyway I have the one xl, was rooted running kickdroid. Was giving phone to wife n decided to wipe,,,,, and it all went downhill from there :eek:

For some reason, I factory reset but then decided to wipe from in recovery and foolishly ticked all boxes, so wiped SD, EXt SD, cache etc.

TWRP v2.6.3

Can see zip file now but says cannot open zip file (kickdroid xl v 5.0.0)

Also says do you really want to reboot no OS installed

And no root, then offers to install but fails.... :(

I think I'm close but soo far, I just need some good advice... please

Hmm then it was having trouble being seen by pc, so formatted again with an HP usb tool, that seemed to work better.

But now I cant recall nor find how to get the rom up n running again, I tried copying to sd and trying to run from recovery but no zip files showing... should it go in android secure?

So now I'm kinda stuck n could really use some help....please!

Currently... its formatted 32gb fat32 but only shows 24gb, guess rest system or something..

Was rooted but twrp tells me not now and its attempts to install root fail :(

Its all unlocked S-OFF, CID 11111111

HBOOT 2.18.0000

Radio 1.35a. 32.45.27

I know its not bricked but I have now been at this for hours n going round in circles....

Can someone PULEEEZE guide me?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You've lost root because you wiped your /system partition. You have the correct amount of storage. Have you tried putting any other ROM zips on it to flash or have you only tried Kickdroid? It doesn't need to be in Android Secure, just anywhere on the virtual sd card. Do you have any folder structure on the sd card at all when you use the install function in TWRP?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ron173:
The only zip I got to load was the "update Super SU v1.86"

My pc keeps telling me problem with drive, then it scans n says fixed.

Maybe I need to run some sort of sector fixer?

Tried couple other roms, says unable to unzip?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
You've got corrupted storage for sure. Try using the wipe feature in TWRP to wipe it, sometimes that formats it correctly.

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ron173:
That's what I used initially n seems I stuffed it :(

Phone was working perfectly before I decided to wipe, its only 1 yr old, surely storage not stuffed on it already?

I'll try the TWRP again n see if can fix it, if not any other programs you can recommend?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
It might be worth trying an earlier version of TWRP, 2.6 to be exact. In my opinion things started to go a bit downhill after that build. You can download it here:

http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita

I'd flash TWRP 2.6, wipe the sd card, copy a zip across, and try to flash it.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ron173:
Eassus partitioning found almost half drive bad sectors :(

No idea how this happened, was fine before, I'm hoping that its a magnetic deformation, which from what I read can be fixed..?

Might need to buy some software to achieve this, however if it fixes, then I'd be happy.

Other options, open phone and replace drive, is this possible on an HTC one xl?

Ive ran HDD regenerator in premade n its found to be all ok, I'm assuming this is magnetic damage not physical damage, going to run a low level format n go from there.

If phone was 10yrs old or something i'd accept as stuffed but at a year and previously working fine, I think its been a bad format, which I'm hoping is fixable
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Did you perform a factory reset from the bootloader at any point?

Transmitted via Bacon
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Ron173:
Well you wouldn't believe it, all up n running again.

The culprit ..... windows 8!!!!!

As I said phone never had any issues before, but all the read problems were when on a windows 8 pc.

Swapped to another one n all read no drama, put kickdroid 5 zip on there, flashed no drama, also the 5.2 ota flashed ok too, root all ok etc.

Only one thing outstanding, I think I need a version of google apps to make the google play work,,, cant find it on my files

Anyone point me to which one I need? ( I think its gapps 4.2.2)

I'd also like to say a BIG thanks to those who helped me thus far :)

cheers
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
Google Apps are built into Kickdroid, you shouldn't need to flash a separate GApps package.

Hi! Well, I'm on ANG2 on my GS5 G900F, and supposedly, the newest firmware is ANG9.

Can someone please tell me the actual difference between this 2 versions?

I don't know if is worth the update...

Thanks in advance guys! :D :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:
Don't get misled by the number ANG2 and ANG9 just because its higher doesn't mean its newer it is just a carrier or country release version of the original, you need to look at the change list values to see if its newer, if you connect to Kies and it says you have the latest version then you do have the latest version, you can check here if you want.

SamsungUpdatesArchive

The change list for all ANG2, ANG6, ANG9, they are all the same, if you feel you are getting something better then update to the ANG9 but the phone wont operate any differently and if you do update make sure the CSC is compatible with your location otherwise you will find that the data or calls or both will not work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Airhari 21:
Hey guys-

I have a rooted T-mobile LG G2 running CM 11. The problem is, my family wants to switch to At&t, but my phone has some issues.

When I tried unlocking the SIM card with the code the T-mobile people gave us, it said the USSD code had an invalid MMI code/connection problems.

I tried it several times, but it didn't work.

Does this mean my SIM card is already unlocked? Or is there a problem with the fact that I'm running CM11?

If there is, do I need to flash back stock and then try to SIM unlock?

Thanks in advance for the help

iPhone skins

This is probably a very dumb question, but how do you install claunch skins after you unzip them? After unzipping iPhone for example, there are 12 bitmap icons; iPhoneAlarm has a folder with some more bitmap icons, and a .skn file?! How does one proceed from there? I tried to drag these files to my pocketpc (under ActiveSync) but that did not worK?!

Also in a similar context, can I install theme files (.tsk) in the MY DOCUMENTS folder in the SD card? and not in RAM? I just did this, but when I look at my x50v under Settings>Today I only see what came with the axim (Dell Default, Guava Bubbles and Windows Default)! I cannot see my other .tsk files that are in My Documents BUT in the SD card! Did I do something wrong? Isn't it better to have the .tsk files not in RAM to save space? and is there anything that would automatically rotate through the .tsk files, like a screensaver?

Thanks for any advice/suggestions,

iPhone without the Phone Alarm Plugin

I made my iPhone screen without the Phone Alarm plugin, since it looked to be a duplication of icons already on the screen.

However, I did change one thing -- instead of 32x32 icons, I resized them to 48x48 in order to take up more of the screen's real estate.

Then, to complete the skinning, I added Wisbar's Windows Vista Portable Edition Skin from the Lakeridge forums.

This is what I ended up with:

I ended up figuring out the icons need to be exactly 32 x 32 or they'll do weird things. (on my 640 x 480 vga screen of my hx4700)

Also, since I could not get the iskin to work for me I made it look and function just like the skin using only cLauncher. (eliminating the other two programs and the previous skin) and only using black panther to supplement it.

Looks just like the forbidden skin, but ...... isn't! :) Just the use of 32 x 32 icons linked to the proper areas using cLauncher and the black panther skin.
