Whats the best of all 3 of these apps to save battery? Titanium, Greenify or Autostarts?
[General Topics] -xCeeD-:
Three of them have been made for different purposes. Main function of titanium backup is to back all the user data and its the best app for doing that. However autostart, lets you determine which apps should run on every boot. It's kinda handy but not that great for saving battery as it kills an app only for a single time at every boot. Greenify is best as it's lets you hibernate any app whenever you're not using it. Saves a lot of juice. :good:
[General Topics] yahanna:
Sounds good. I'll use all 3 then. Thanks
[General Topics] AlexRJ:
Titanium

[General Topics] higherway:
prefer to Titanium,
[General Topics] theBlackEnd:
Titanium lets you freeze apps in paid version too, but I've never tested it as I use TB just for backups.

Greenify is a great app if you know what you shouldn't hibernate.
[General Topics] seanmalto:
I use greenify to hibernate some apps

so i have a 200MB free RAM on my SGA2 :D
[General Topics] vergil666:

[General Topics] Iceursus:
Battery life mostly depends on your usage.

If you have the screen on 24/7 any app on the planet can't save you much power.

If you don't use your phone 24/7, Greenify might be your best bet.

Also check out "Unbounce". It limits wakelocks.
[General Topics] ChrisPeter:
they are all good . it depends on which one do you prefer
[General Topics] davidmlondon:
I use Titanium to freeze apps I'm not sure are safe to remove and greenify to hibernate apps. They both do the job really well. Greenify has worked well for me as it frees up memory and makes my phone snappier. I also use wakelock detector to identify which apps are waking the device the most, that has really helped me work out which apps are using the most battery. Another good one (in my experience) is GSAM battery monitor.

[AT&T LG G3] dethdfire:
Hello, i am new to this forum, seems like the place i need to be.

Ive been just researching tons of stuff about my new LG G3 i bought 2 weeks ago.

I found on this forum things about external batteries like the ZeroLemon which seems awesome except i like the quick circle ( may just cut the circle cover off my current cover and attach it to the ZeroLemon :eek: )

But this got me to another thread about wireless charging with a QI wireless charging chip. Now my question is... The chip that is stock on the cover has 2 pins, and id like to know what this chip does compared to the 4 pin chip you'd get with the wireless charging chip. Is the 4 pin the capability to charge with wireless docking stations? I sort of understand how the NFC portion works, is that what the 2 pin chip is for?
[AT&T LG G3] Wickidmasshole:
The 2 pin back that comes stock is just for NFC. The 4 pin back is for NFC and wireless charging. I personally bought the circle cover and extracted the wireless charging sticker and installed it on the stock plastic back, and it works great. Also, we use PMA not QI wireless charging.
[AT&T LG G3] dethdfire:
awesome

Glad to know I have a pma and not a qi before I bought anything... Also weird that my first reply is from someone in Boston... Not to far from me...

Thanks again masshole
[HTC One S] dudeman878:
I tried to upgrade my phone to 4.4.2 TwistedKat, but after a while i decided i didnt like it and deleted the zip file from the phone completely and attempted to reboot my phone. I tried to relock it but when i did the phone never turned back on. When i unlocked it again it would go back to TwistedKat and i really just want my old JellyBean back. Now when i turn the phone on it stays on the logo screen with the red writing saying this build is for development purposes. I could not really find any RUU to use and im still searching but having no luck. Please help

EDIT: Its a T-Mobile HTC One S. I can also still go to the hboot screen and

Ok i ended up being able to bring back the TwistedKat 4.4.2 version, but i would still like help in returning my phone back to the OS it was. Can anyone help?

It's also so much cheaper than the HP touchpad charger. On amazon you can get anywhere from 4 - 8 chargers for the price of 1 HP.

OP was looking for something that can charge faster than 500mA which USB charging is limited to. At that speed it can take 4+ hours to charge the phone vs 2.5 hours with stock, and 2 hours with a 2.1A unit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] MojoCP:
My GF got an LG G2 at roughly the same time I got my phone.

I've tried charging my phone with a wide variety of chargers, including the ipad 4 charger, as well as other 2.4A heavy duty chargers from other companies. I dont know why, but NOTHING is as fast as that stock G2 charger. It beats the "heavy duty" voltage stuff by a noticeable margin.

It does a proper quick charge on her G2, and while I've read that the nexus 5 doesnt really support that quick charge, it DEFINITELY does something.

It looks like this: http://www.lg.com/us/images/cell-phone-accessories/wcp-300/gallery/medium05.jpg

I am not sure if you will get the folding blade charger in India. You can buy the CP AD2 charger. One of my friend bought it and the Nexus 5 is charging at around 1300-1400 mAh. You will get it in Amazon for 550 rupees.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbb1robert:
I was told by a "Verizon salesperson" that unlocking a phone doesn't give you the ability to use everyone of the service providers.different providers use different signals (att,T-Mobile can't use sprint,Verizon etc...).is this correct,or was he blowing smoke.

Seems a waste of time to unlock a phone if you can use only a limited number of providers.

If someone can direct me to a thread on this topic or have an answer it is appreciated.thnx

If you google "difference between gsm and cdma" you'll find a number of good explanations. The Gizmodo article would be a good place to start.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tonglebeak:
It really depends on the phone. Most phones are GSM/CDMA only. There are global phones though that work on GSM/WCDMA and CDMA. Verizon S3 can be used on GSM/CDMA, Sprint's S4 can be as well, etc..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suhaas:
Hi guys,

I am using mahdi ROM 10/01, with multirom and code blue kernel. The problem is the fast charge feature doesn't seem to work in my mobile. The kernel supports fast charge and so I enabled it and tried to charge my mobile but its not working. Still it takes lot of time to charge.

And with fast charge enabled the USB mass storage should work right. But for me the USB mass storage is working. Anyone having same problem.? Please help
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It depends on the cable and source too. USB 2 is rated at 500mA.

Fastcharge if enabled, relies on disabling the data connection. That's how it recognises as AC

After lots of hours (I accept donations) I did all the frames lost of the android L bootanimation, so now it goes at 60fps (it used to go at 30fps). The change is huge.

You have to install the zip with a free app like Boot Animations in the Play Store. Don't use Recovery!

bootanimation.zip original 30fps (Thanks Google)

bootanimation60.zip improved 60fps

[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] guerreromanuel:
There was a little lagging at the begining because I didn't compress the frames so they were too big for fast procesing. I've just compressed them without losing quality and now it's super smooth. If someone wants this new version just ask for it here.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
Ever since I unlocked my 8525 with a code provided by a remote imei unlocker, no one can hear my voice when I place or recive calls. I've tried both a cingular sim, and t-mobile sim, neither has any affect, and they work perfectly in other phones. used a remote imei unlock because I thought that you couldn't downgrade from the 1.09 bootloader which I had, but I found out you could, so i downgraded it and I made it supercid, but it didn't seem to have any affect since the phone was already sim unlocked

I only want to do this to see if the sim unlock is the reason why my voice cannot be heard (the headset doesn't make a difference either), or if it is a hardware problem and then go about looking for a place that can repair it. Is it the microphone for calls the same as recording notes?, because I can voice record notes just fine.

I also seem to get "no service" alot even though before I unlocked it i got perfect coverage and I've tried three different radios and neither one made a difference.

Hmm... Please post your Device Details so that we can see what you versions of the ROM, RADIO you have and be able to point you to the right direction. PPL here are great in helping you solve your problems but you have to post what versions of the ROMS, OS versions etc you have.

First of all, You did not have to pay to get the 8525 Unlocked. There are unlockers here for Free. Hmm..

Did you try going to this ROM for 8525 i.e "1.30.502.1"
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
I payed because I upgraded to the latest rom, with bootloader 1.09, and I thought it was impossible to downgrade it to be able to run the unlock program. I went on ebay, and gave some guy my imei number and he gave me an unlock code that worked. 2 days after this, i found out that it was possible to downgrade from the 1.09 bootloader with an kinda "illegal program" and I succesfully downgraded.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
a. relocking it will not fix your voice problem, has nothing to do with it

b. hard reset and see if it fixes it, it might be a software problem

c. if hard reset does not fix it, take it to the repair centre

d. awizard will not work on hermes
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
I did a hard reset, and it didn't make a difference, its not a software problem. Where would I find a repair center in the North Eastern part of the US, and is the microphone for the voice recorder and phone different?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
Where exactly is the voice mic located on the 8525 (maybe I can open it up and see if it got disconnected), and if a headset violently came of the usb port could that have caused my problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
Ok, I did some more experimentation. If I put my mouth directly on to the bottom of my 8525 and blew into it or spoke loudly, i could faintly be heard. Anyone have any suggestions? Like I said before recording in notes work perfectly, and also sound is present on videos that I record. I bought this on ebay in november and was working perfectly. It started acting up this month either after I sim unlocked it or, or after the headset got violently ripped out (both happened on the same day) Also there seems to be a "crack" in the center of the bottom metal part of the USB port. im not sure if thats supposed to be there because on the cable there seems to be a "crack" in the same exact place

EDIT: In the meantime on the wiki pictures find motherboard side 2. On right hand side is a black rubber part which covers the microphone. On the assembled device it has a hole near the soft reset hole. If I get a picture later it will be with rubber cover removed.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
thanks, earlier this morning, i dissasembled it, but stopped short because i could not remove the main board, i didn't know what was holding it and I didn't want to force it. Right now im using an old bluetooth headset that i had lying around. I am so confused about what the problem could be because the bluetooth headset works fine, but the wired one doesnt (I can still use them as headphones) and the mic, which works for other programs (well the built in notes program is the only one i tested) but not for calls

A side note (question) is it unusual for the device to not allow the phone module to turn off (through comm manager) when it has no service, and to not stay off when it has no service (keeps turning on after it turn it off when it says it has no service)? This requires a softreset to fix
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I have just read through all the posts here.

There is only one microphone so if it works for notes then it's ok. It's just possible the ripping out of the headset has caused a crack in the board for the phone side of things but not damaged the mic. (i'm a little skeptical though).

At work so will reply in more detail later.

And lets hear from others who have a problem with the person being phoned not hearing what's being said.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
Yea, has anyone else had microphone problems?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
I got a reply from Pocket Pc Techs, I emailed them earlier asking if they could repair my pda, and they said that they "Unfortunately we do not yet offer any repairs for the Cingular 8525." Think I could fix it myself?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Cannot answer that. As the mic is working for the recording functions then there is not a microphone fault. Also the mic is soldered directly to the main board so connection / cabling problems are ruled out. There may be a hairline crack on the boaed at some point but you'll be hard pushed to find anything without basic test equipment.

The Hermes is not the easiest to test when the back casing is removed as you need a way to keep the battery connected, something the case does in normal use.

You could go for the take it apart check the multi connectors (there's two) by unpluging reinserting and re-assembling - this involves no testing no "real" changes but can in a rather unscientific way sometimes sort basic problems related to a poor contact or connection.

Before doing this I would do at least a couple of full hard resets, and make a test call. If I had a warranty I would return the device.

If you fancy opening it up again to remove and reinsert the main board then look here:

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
I did three hard resets and there wasnt any difference, i have already opened it voiding the warranty, and what are the multi connectors that you are talking about?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Ok - it certainly sounds like a hardware issue.

The connectors I referred to are shown in the Japanese site and on mine and onthe wiki site here.

referring to the Japanese site:

http://inuchanbt.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-100.html

1st Multiconnector

3rd picture down (inc, pic with scredriver)

item 2 Purple circled connector

(careful with this one. prize it up gently it will come up with not much pressure. Too much rough handling and its metal cover part will unglue itself. Can be re-glued if needed.)

and

2nd Multi Connector

4th, 5th, 6th pictures show 2nd mylar multi connector

Trickier and fiddlier than first. This one has a piece of tape holding it in place, although it does insert fairly firmly into the female connector.

For your purposes there is no need to go any further than this. Simply!! reconnect everything and fingers crossed any loose connection will be fixed and problem solved.

Keep in mind a couple of things:

1. There is a chance this checking of connections will work but probably a higher chance it won't,

2. There are a couple of fiddly little things to remember when re-assembling everything. (black rubber mic cover / camera toggle arm - for a little more info see my website under loose keyboard slider - link below)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cjchriscj:
Thanks for the instructions, but they didn't change anything, I am lost at what I should do now, i guess i'll have to stick with the bluetooth headset because i cannot find anyplace in the US that repairs the HTC Hermes, and im kinda broke right now so i probably wouldnt be able to pay for the repair. What exactly would i need, a new board?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
What a downer, still worth a try as you possibly will need a new board, it's almost impossible to find true electronic repair shops nowadays as it costs too much in labor/time to repair a board compaired with replacement.
