Helloes guys and goils.

I have a HTC wiz, and for a good few weeks now I have had problems with it.

First off, It would NOT charge through the Wall Socket OR USB, I let it run down over XMas and it's not been the same again.

It just will not charge or come on.

When I plug it into USB it looks as if it is charging, with the Orange light and The power bar turns to the socket looking thing, but when I leave it to charge it just goes off and doesnt come back on.

When I plug it into the wall socket the HTC does not respond.

I have been asking my mate in work to put it in his and charge it via HIS wall charger, which has worked a few times, but I seem to be getting a very awful run out of my battery.

I am thinking it is the phone and NOT the battery as i first thought, I dunno, im scared of throwing up £30 notes on a new battery only to find it is the phone.

What do you guys think I should do?

I heard somewhere that it is a SOFTWARE based charge and not a hardware based charge, what does that mean?

DO u think a flash would help it? I cant see it myself.

Or is my HTC just goosed?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thogue:
Well

I can speak from experience when I tell you my wizard nuked 2 batteries...

how I dont know.

Hopefully one of the gurus can shed some light on your situation
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] cushcalc:
If you do replace the battery, look on eBay - I got a new 1250 mA battery (there are also 1100 mA versions, don't get that) for $13.99US including shipping - works great!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Raceit:
Make sure its nothing simple... Try the USB cable plugged directly into the computer without using a USB hub (if you are) and different USB ports on the back of the computer. Also try different outlets for the AC adapter. If still nothing else I'd even ask for help from your local cell phone store (put on a sad face) and see if they'll lend you a power cord and or swap out batteries to see if they can reproduce the problem on a different Wizard, battery, etc.

My case

Hi,

I had somewhat similar problem with mine. My porblem was that I bought the Wizard with a Motorola charger. It had the same mini usb plug and when I plugged it to charge, the led on the wizard was orange and the Wizard indicated its charging, but the moment I unlugg it, the battery indicator was coming back to its previous state. My solution is to use the PC USB to charge it, on a couple of occasions I had the battery completely drained and had to "jump start it" by connecting the wires from the usb directly to the + and - of the battery. Even used once my good old AA Ni-MH charger to jump start the battery and it worked.

So perhaps you are not getting power from the cable, why not try with different charger or charging from another USB source (PC).

Hope this helps :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] datawrhsdoc:
Just happened to me tonight. Thought that my Wizard was toast as well.

I merely took the battery out for 10 minutes, put battery back in, and plugged device into original wall charger. All is well now.

I'm currently using Android Revolution HD 33.1 with lONELyX #017 kernel, with S2W enabled (But never gets used)

I'm looking for a good kernel with the best battery life, could anyone recommend one good with your experiences.
[HTC One X] Thant:
no best kernel try them all and take decision. This is forbiden in XDA no such thing like best rom or best kernel or any thing best. Here everything is the best but you must take decision wich one is best for you.
[HTC One X] wigankev:
Reason for this thread is because they're isn't much choice of kernels for ARHD 33.1, previous build 4.1.2 there was plenty of kernels, lONELyX #017 used be brilliant for battery, but lately not so good
[HTC One X] Thant:
use trickster or faux clock to change governor and UV. If you thing only change kernel without change any parameter inside the kernel will increase the battery live you are in big mistake. And to this moment #17 is good kernel for battery live and on [MENTION=4898058]audahadi[/MENTION] too and faux too. This is the tree kernel that you can use but faux is more for AOSP.

I havd a galaxy s5 g900h

And even it has warranty but i need these features :

1. Titanium backup

2. Optimizer app that can fully optimize my phone (those need root)

3. I really really need to move huge games (like wild blood) to sd becausd my s5 is 16gb

4. I need tasker

5. I wanna use xposed

So i have no xp in rooting and have nevef rooted a phone before, i come acroos the net and found two methods, one is with phils touch cwm recovery and one is with cf auto root

I cant understand the difference between tbose two, and i dunno what to use?

*towelroot does not support my phone

So i need u guys to please help me and tell me which one is right for me, the only thing i know is that ppl can flash custom roms if they root with cwm method.

So a few questions comes to my mind:

1. Are custome rom really good?

2. Are they rooted?

3. Arent they buggy?

4. Do they have samsung smart services? Like smart pause, smart stay, air view or ....

5. Will my all sms and photos remove every time i install a new custom rom?

6. Do i really need a cuatom rom?

7. Will titanium backup work in cf auto root method?

8. Will exposed framework work in cf method?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Masum56k:
Cf root method works fine in our 900h model..

Cf root method requires to root your phone.

And CWM or TWRP could be flash, after once you root device by using CF root method..

Custom ROM will have all basic functions and it'll not cause any problem in pic-sms-songs etc..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tachra:

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
Some of you may know me from the Motorola days as one of the guys that started a campaign against Moto for dropping the ICS update for Tegra2 devices worldwide known as "Support My Moto" that worked in partnership with "Update my Moto". This time it's and that have some explaining to do.

The AT&T C105A (Galaxy S4 Zoom) owners need to raise some hell as both Samsung and AT&T are lying about what Android version it has. They officially list it as having 4.4 KitKat. It does not have 4.4 KitKat and cannot even be updated to 4.4 KitKat at this time. Under many state laws this constitutes false advertising and is grounds for legal action.

The possible claim of "Samsung never built updates for the SM-C105A" cannot be taken at valid either, as TelCel (Mexico) has sent out at least two updates to their SM-C105A.

Samsung Official Specs as of July 17th 2014

AT&T Official Specs as of Sept 2nd 2014 (older versions will not load for some reason)

Inaction gives the impression that not supporting a device and listing false official specifications is OK. So if you do not want this type of bait and switch to keep going on, post on AT&T's and Samsung's G+ & Facebook pages, and tag them on Twitter. Let them know about how this is unacceptable and the SM-C105A needs to start receiving updates to 4.4 KitKat immediately.

Hashtag

#wheresmykitkat

This may not be a U.S. only issue. So if you have a S4 Zoom and are not on KitKat, use web.archive.org and check to see if they did the same in your region
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Terafloppy:
Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. I'm an owner of an AT&T SM-C105A and not having KITKAT has become totally unacceptable.

I've had the phone for nearly a year, i was burned before by Motorola and the lack up updates. The day i purchased my Zoom i was promised KITKAT was arriving "Any Day Now". Well it's been months and months and there is no word from AT&T. I'm thinking of trying to return the phone to them as they are failing on their promise. So frustrating.

I'll call them today and raise some hell. I'll let you know how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
Copied from my post to the AT&T G+ page

"I'll give both Samsung and AT&T til 10/10/14 to address the matter publicly. After that, complaints will be filed with the proper agencies. For me that would be FCC, FTC, BBB, California Dept. of Consumer Affairs.﻿"

[MENTION=2515443]claptnei[/MENTION]

Thanks for the heads up. With the AT&T version I'd expect even more restrictions, like security check bootloader making even rooting or bloat removal a softbrick risk like their 4.2.2 firmware is.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
UPDATE

I've given them a couple extra days to get this straight with no results. Even after a chat with Tech Support they seem to have no clue as to whether KitKat is even a possibility or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
Update

AT&T as of 9:40AM PST

So, no update for you and enjoy any of those security holes your device might have that have made the news in the *past year* because we can't be bothered to push out any updates or patches.

The "bugs" are probably related to AT&T's bull**** bloat as there are only a very small number of reports of any issues of any kind with any other S4 Zoom running KitKat.

Still can't find a public page that lists 4.2.2 as the official current firmware anywhere on their site.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
Two weeks later and the page that customers see still says 4.4 KitKat. To add insult to injury. A brand new AT&T S4 Zoom now sells for less ($179.99) than an older refurbished 3G only version (@$300).

I still have yet to hear back from the FTC, BBB and other agencies. I doubt I ever will as lying to customers is business as usual in the U.S..
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] Lokifish Marz:
No apologies, no "our bad, just fixed the specs and hope those that that got scammed don't notice it.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] paddylaz:
Hey,

So Hope everyone is enjoying their new Z3C, I know I am.

As a first time on-screen key user, the one thing that slightly grates on me is the way the nav bar takes up screen real estate in certain apps. So thought maybe (I'm going out on a limb here and assuming Im not the only one with that mentality) would be useful to compile a list of apps (whether they're games, or simply alternative versions of sms, browser apps) that are full screen. I.e. they support and use the 'Immersive mode' without the need for root.

Browser wise, my contribution is Javelin, which is ALMOST as fast as Chrome, but is extremely elegant and offers full screen, (via transparent nav buttons) which just looks SO much better.

Anyone else? I appreciate you can get any app to be full screen with root tactics..........but still.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Alex2x3:
Only app I've noticed so far is Reddit Sync with ads removed uses the transparent nav bar and it is beautiful.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
Agreed, full immersive mode is the way to go. The on-screen nav buttons are an eyesore, IMO. I can't wait to achieve root (without unlocking the bootloader) so I can apply it to all my most used apps which look far nicer in full immersive mode.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] opusheks:
THANKS for mentioning Javelin! I've searched for a good fullscreen browser and it seems this is just what I was looking for.

Regarding the topic - for those of you who don't know it already I can recommend Talon. It's a gorgeous twitter client that can be tweaked in every possible way.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] hussan882:
Guys,

I expect you guys know but there is an immersive mode app that i have been using, it doesnt require root and you can even toggle it on and off from the notification bar (there is a setting to enable this).

The only issue is that for apps where you want or need to use a keyboard it doesnt work when active, though you can disable, enter text and re-enable afterwards. You can even toggle it on for the home screen.

Worked well when I was experimenting with it.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] opusheks:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] boojay:
I'm using All in One Gestures: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures to achieve full immersive mode right now and it's working pretty good, in addition to having a host of other useful shortcuts as well.

It's a nice temporary solution until a locked BL root exploit is discovered.

Yep thats the one

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
I used to get this error months ago when I used to flash font zip files via recovery and my phone would be on vibrate or silent mode. After a thorough searching I came across a a solution to avoid this and it worked good. Go to settings>>>sounds>>system (heading) and uncheck and recheck all 4 options under it. Reboot your phone and earpiece volume is back. You can hear the other person and other person can hear you.I don't face this issue anymore since I don't flash font zip files anymore I use font apk files thanks to the new CM theme engine.

Hope this helps.

Regarding low volume you can go to system/etc/sound/t03g and open it in notepad on your computer or file explorer on phone and scroll down to earpiece and raise the values as seen in the screenshot below . Exit, save and reboot.

Hey Guys I bought the new LG G3s (or Beat) [LGD722]

I deleted Google Play Services on /system pertition when i tried to udate it along with all other preinstalled G-Apps.

After manuelly installing it (currently on /data) I get Error messeges corresponding with Google Play Services every time I start my phone or want to use a Google App (it's basicly unsable)

I updated to the latest Google Play Services 6.1.11 .

I get the following error message from Logcat:

I actually tried to set permissions manually but it did not change anything.

I have the complete Logcat attached.

Please help me.

(By the way the G3s does not support any custom recovery yet so please do not suggest that and as far as I can tell there is no way to force a firmware reset yet since the required files are not online yet.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmytim:
You could try installing a 4.4.2 G-Apps package which "should" restore the required Play services. Otherwise you're probably going to have to perform a factory reset (full wipe) to restore it. Backup everything on your internal SD card and go to Settings > Backup and Reset > Factory Data Reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jantheg:
like i said before a factory data reset will not work for me (i actually tried it multiple times...)

I found a Kit Kat CApps package from CM but it is for CWM Recovery which is currently unsupported by the G3s.

any suggestions how to install it through adb?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
:eek: You can't install Gapp packages on a stock LG setup. Those are for AOSP based roms as those can not have the Gapps included per Google.

Sounds like you just need to convert the GP Services back to a system app. That's when you would need to set the permissions correctly and why it didn't make any difference when you changed it while it was in data. You can use an app specifically for that, or if you have a root explorer/file manager, that'd work too. Titanium Backup is another option. Make sure to reboot after you make the switch.

Description

Please note that this is the free version of Unlock History. Purchasing the full version supports further development of Unlock History and is truly appreciated.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dhruv.unlockhistorypro

This new app secretly checks and show all successful unlocks, apps used and the duration for which the device was used so you can check if someone else was using the phone, making your android smartphone more secure.

It is also a great tool for parents to monitor the phone usage by the child, or one could spy on their friend's phone as this app works silently.

The feature to set password makes sure that only you can check your device's record.

The complimentary widget not only looks good but also makes it easier to view the last unlock.

Main Features:

- Option to set password.

- Material UI

- Silently checks usage and shows no notifications.

- Automatically starts when the phone boots.

- Older usage data get cleaned up regularly if configured.

- Consumes very less battery.

- Very light weight tracking mechanism.

Mod edit: Broken DL link removed.
[Android Apps and Games] Geeks Empire:

But When my Friend can unlock my phone it can Delete history of this app ;)

Hi,

I have couple questions regarding the left soft key menu customization on wm5 smartphone.

This is what I already know:

I know how to customize the right soft key (SK2) menu in Contacts using iContextMenu interface by studying the SDK sample code.

Description of what I hope to achieve:

In the Contacts screen, the default action for the left soft key (SK1) is "New Contact", I would like to customize the left soft key to do something else. It could be "New SIM Contact" or even "Beam Contact", or "Delete", or ultimately my customized action.

Also:

Is the menu control in Contact same as the menu control in Call Log? I have a feeling they are some what different, is this true?

Thanks in advance,

Nelson
