Why not get another battery from Sammy? Its $15 with a coupon.

what.. where ? i just got my note 4 i would like a extra battery oem and just buy a charger dock for it :D im assuming i have to enter my note 4 serial number or something

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] chong67:
Get the Kit version. It comes with a battery and a external charger for $20 if you use the coupon.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] badbeats:
I could get an extra battery or a larger battery. I feel a charger with 3200, on a keychain would be the most convenient.

I could get another full charge and could stick it in my pocket to charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sduffy89:
I searched the forums and havent found anything conclusive regarding the capatibility of the Note 2 MultiRom port and the 4.3 kernel in Alliance Rom build 26.

Im not sure if MultiRom strictly requires AOSP 4.4.2 or just a kernel with the kexec_hardboot.

Im afraid of making a mistake that would require a computer to get my phone working again. My phone is my only computer at this very moment. Thanks

What am I doing wrong here? Why so much memory usage?
[Verizon LG G3] Chilidog:
Anyone?
[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
You can use an app like below to get a better idea of what is using memory, but from what I see in your pic everything looks normal.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mem.usage&hl=en
[Verizon LG G3] Mistertac:
Those numbers are correct and that's about what they should look like.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
This is just how it is. My G3 does the same exact thing. I have been trying to figure it out, too, but its just some internal process that is using that much!
[Verizon LG G3] bpyazel:
I'm no expert, so this is just a guess. But I'm guessing it's counting some kind of cache that increases when more memory is free. Because I have just about the same as you, but I have 20 apps in my list. So I would assume the less that is running the bigger the cache becomes, and perhaps it's being counted in that number. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the internal workings of Android can help.
[Verizon LG G3] TonikJDK:
On a clean boot mine is 1.1. You are fine.
[General Topics] Halldor:
I have the TyTn and when I goto remove programs I see no programs in the list? I even tried a soft reset but still an empty list? The weird thing is that all the programs are visible with "Remove Software" in Pocket Mechanic. Anybody have any clue what is causing this?

I have all my programs on my storage card and the card seem to be fine. After further testing, I seem not to be able to install any programs now at all? I have plenty of space on the card but programs will not install to the phone memory either and plenty of space there also?

I am trying to avoid a HARD RESET.
[General Topics] bnycastro:
have you tried removing pocket mechanic? maybe it is messing with your installations?
[General Topics] phsnake:
i had similar prob. with MPx200, although i think following may help:

1. go to /window/appmgr

2. move(copy-delete after) all folders & files somewhere(i.e. Storage Card/appmgr) except folder with name of prog U wanna uninstall

3. try to uninstall it

let me know if it works
[General Topics] Halldor:
Thanks for the replies. I decided to restore a backup to see if that would solve my little mystery and it did. I might have been toooo confident when I used Pocket Mechanic to clean the system by deleting everything that showed up in the list!? If this does happen again I will try what is mentioned above thanks.
[General Topics] ultraprimeomega:
This also happen with my wizard but i think because something corrupted the registry or the memory but after that activesync would only allow me to make a partnership as a guest and woudl say samething was wrong. i just reflashed my wizard and it fixed it but i think it could of been fixed by just hard reseting.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipguy:
Hi

A friend of mine is endlessly complaining about the bad battery life on his stock nexus 5, the phone is off the charger at 7am and is all but dead at 4pm

Being a nice guy and all, I want to help him out by offering to install a ROM that optimises battery life.

Can anyone suggest a good rom for the task ?

If such a rom exists and battery life can be extended to 15 to 17hrs I might jump ship from my LG G3
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
None
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
roms have absolutely nothing to do with battery.

battery is determined by your personal use, your personal setup, apps installed, and very much the quality of your phone/data connection. there are other things that'll influence battery life slightly as well, but these are the main things that determine your battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Turn off auto and set the screen brightness display to 15%!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Autobrightness isn't too bad if your ROM allows you to change the values/levels :p

Also, "Lux Autobrightness" is useless for saving battery on an LCD screen since the backlight is still the same brightness. on AMOLED (aka not the Nexus 5) it would help, however.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipguy:
so we shouldn't expect any battery improvements when Android L is released ?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its possible, a small amount. but that would be from new code that makes something more efficient. but, i personally, dont expect much difference in battery life.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipguy:
not sure I agree with you, project volta looks like a concerted effort from Google to do exactly that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Curiousn00b:
Funny. I always use Auto-brightness and get 4 hours SoT at least twice a week. Other times, I get a little over 3 hours or below. :p
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] and313:
The best battery life for me is with elementalx 1.05 kernel with a stock rom. 2 days stand by and at least 5 hours sot is the usual verdict.

But i think the problem here is how your friend uses his phone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bandit97:
Different ROMs do have different battery usage. Even with the same kernel. He could stick on stock with elementalx aosp kernel. Then mess around with trickster mod to suck out the most use. Only use the high power goveners when needed. Then switch back to low power for general use. Honestly, had my n5 for a month. Also had a n4 before. The n5 battery isnt much better. Biggest downside. Just doing nothing its fine, but if I play some games on the train it dies in no time.

Some ideas

Vanir

Slim

Purity

Cm11

Vanir with elementalx was good for me battery wise. But after a certain nightly I was getting alot of heat and battery drain. Im now using sabermod carbon with elementalx.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OCmylife:
Turn Location off. It has the biggest Impact in Battery life time.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] –NigthFury–:
with this guy
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth:
I used about every rom and kernel.... And my battery life for me, with my lean setup and usage was always 24 hoursish total and usually over 6 hours screen time on all of them.

So no one will ever convince me that different kernels and especially different roms affect battery life any more than in the smallest ways. Definitely not enough difference to base a choice on solely.

?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
Well said. I hope you don't mind but I've linked your well written response in a Reddit post. Users there argue daily over which ROM or kernel is best for battery life despite my best efforts.

Turned on my ATT 4GLTE 7.0 Galaxy Tab 3 this weekend and saw that it had the 4.4.2 update waiting for it, nice to know it hasn't been totally forgotten lol.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Russ77:
seems like a nice update so far.

just need to get root back...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] gsbad68:
mine keeps hanging up at 25 to 27% its only rooted ive tried to remove root and re update still same thing did you have to do anything to get the update?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] cfli1688c1:
i have the same tablet, but i do not see the update. Do i need to unroot the tablet to get the update?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Russ77:
I was rooted and had quite a few /system mods such as the LG G3 keyboard and at one point Wanam Xposed. Once I un rooted the update installed 100% but gave me an error on boot.

I downloaded the stock 4.2.2 tar file and flashed via Odin. This did not wipe /data and left me with a stock 4.2.2 un rooted device.

At this point the update installed perfectly.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] cfli1688c1:
Is the update speedier than the 422 stock?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] rmntruexjr:
I had to do the same. Unroot, but remember to uninstall any root apps like super su first...
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] DSTG:
Where did you get the 4.2.2 TAR file? All I can seem to find is every tab 3 7.0 EXCEPT the AT&T version.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Russ77:
I got it at sammobile.com
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] DSTG:
Seems they may have removed it then. Is there anything besides "T217A" that it might be listed as? A compatible model or something?
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] Russ77:
I'm 99% certain it was sammobile. You'll want to search by device type or something, not just T217A.
[Galaxy Tab 3 General] rmntruexjr:
Search SM-T217A and you'll find it. :good:

Nope, doesn't come up with anything. Unless being a member wields different results? Anyway, I did find it deep within the weeds of the internet eventually.

I tried all the other fixes but nothing worked. My issue was setInstallLocation was set to 2 (sdcard). I reset it using pm set-install-location 0 (auto) as root from terminal. You can check with get-install-location and its set to anything other than 0 reset it and that should might fix the problem.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Just in case anyone was wondering, towelroot v3 doesn't work. Not sure if earlier builds do as I don't have a copy of the older ones.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] csmits:
Thanks aznmode
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pete4k:
That's not a big surprise, since firmware was patched back in June or something and even Note 3 with latest firmware can't be rooted with towelroot, unless you downgrade kernel to older version first. Developer supposed to work for Google now, so don't expect updates either.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] twe90kid:
Why even bother with something that doesn't work? We all know chainfire has a working root
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] pete4k:
Chainfire trips knox and some people may want to keep knox cool for various reasons (like they may need knox for work for example), so it was worth a try, but a very long shot.

Also, did anybody actually tried chainfire method with T-mo ?

Chainfire may have exynos version? I'm not sure and also would that work on locked bootloader, like ATT version is probably getting? I mean we all expect T-mo version to be unlocked, but did anybody actually verified it is, since only insiders may have access to the phone ATM.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
This!

Also I just read in the root thread that chainfire works on Tmobile now. But as usual will trip Knox. To some it may not be a big deal but I like to resell my phone and not having Knox tripped will give it a better resell value.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] fcortes626:
In what way does it give it a better resell value? just curious not trying to be a d*ck. most people root their device anyways and the ones who dont probably wont notice it.

so what are other disadvantages of tripping knox?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] RiverCity.45:
Towel Root won't work on any firmware released since June 3, if I remember correctly. Google hired the guy to find and patch the types of exploits he discovered and used in Towel Root.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
Just based off selling price and how long it takes to sell on swappa, Craigslist, or eBay. And some will ask if it's rooted.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] twe90kid:
All my phones sold on eBay with root sold for higher than those without root. So I don't know what your referring to.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
That's great. Mines rooted. What about resale value if Knox has been tripped?

I would sell on eBay but I hate the 10% they take from you. So I've never sold my phones there. I like selling on swappa or Craigslist.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] fcortes626:
oh the phones i have i bought new and i have never sold on any of those sites so i wouldnt know.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] aznmode:
I think most ppl who aren't that familiar with root but have heard of it somewhat gets scared of units that are rooted. So they tend to stay away from buying them. And some care to have Knox for work. So your buyer base are much slimmer IMO than with an unrooted and Knox untripped devices.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] wase4711:
mine too..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] barfingmonkey:
Rooted my t-mobile note 4 with chainfire.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] effortless:
It's not that the phone is rooted, but you lose Knox functionality. For those that want it or need it, your phone loses value. Look up Knox 2.0 if you're unfamiliar with what it is.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] HuggieBear:
Actually it does work.. I rooted my note 3 about 2 months ago and it did just fine..

I towelrooted my S5 (though I had to 'jump through hoops' to do it)

My wife is getting the Note 4 tomorrow which I want to root and debloat for her.

I'm kinda keen not to blow the warranty on the day of purchase......

Is there a way of rooting without tripping knox? I've had a quick look at the sticky's and not seen anything......

Edit......With my S5, which was running a KK firmware (later than June 2014) I had to install towelroot, odin flash a pre June kernel, run towelroot, odin flash the original (post June) Kernel. .....will this method work on the Note 4? (Assuming the device still has out of the box KK)

Edit 2....nvm....just figured it out for myself.....looking at the device specs.....It comes with 4.4.4 which I guess means that 4.4.2 is not available for it. Which in turn means pre June firmware kernels don't exist, so there's nothing available that towelroot will work with....... :(

A no-go

Geo was bought by Google as their front line defense against hacks to their platform. He had to sign a clause stating to never produce another program to hack it. I am unsure weather he still works there but I would assume his clause would even extend into him not working there as well. Geo is a great mind and it was sad day he bailed but I don't hate him for it, we all have lives and families and I bet anyone here would of taken a chance like that if offered. He is probly living comfortably. I'm happy for him.

Even if you trip Knox and have to send back into samsung. In my experience odin'ing back to stock or using twrp to flash a stock looking rom is good enough.

Don't let Knox keep you from rooting.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Karakoram2:
This is probably why towelroot doesn't work on newer devices:

https://m.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2b2fqb

Btw. If it did work and I had the choice of not tripping Knox using towelroot and tripping Knox using chainfire. I'd still use chainfire. That towelroot stuff always looked a little sketchy.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Android_Monsters:
Don't call samsung and ask them that! Silly

There is nothing sketchy about towelroot. It was developed by Geohot who is a well known programmer/developer.
[G3 General] JeffDC:
I've been searching around and have round a few Ringtone directories in the G3. However:

1. I am not having much success when I copy over a .mr4 (ringtone) file, as when I pull up a contact, to connect my ringtone to it, they do not show in the list, even after a reboot. But I am able to use mp3's from the music directory, also

2. when I pull up the contact, to edit/change the ringtone, G3 will bring up the 'stock' directory for LG ringtones (where the heck is that located as I can't find that particular directory), and if I choose the + sign to select my own ringtone,

3. it will only take me to the music directory, so I can not navigate to find my uploaded ringtones...

Any help is appreciated.
[G3 General] samorgs:
Default is system/media/audio. In there are 4 more folders, ringtones, alarms, notifications & ui.

Also in the root of internal sdcard there are the same 4 named folders where new ringtones, alarms, ui and notification sounds can be copied to.
[G3 General] JeffDC:
Thanks. Any idea on why when I try and select a custom ringtone, the only directory which comes up is the music director (which is on my SC card)?

I can not find a way to 'search' or go to a different directory.
[G3 General] meyerweb:
All the ringtones I've copied to the "Ringtones" directory on the internal SD card show up when I try to change a contact's ringtone. Are you sure an .m4r file is compatible? That's Apple's format for the iPhone. Try copying an mp3 file to that directory, and see if it shows up.

Here's a program which claims to convert m3r files to mp3 files: http://www.zamzar.com/convert/m4r-to-mp3/
[G3 General] JeffDC:
Thank you, I will give it a go.
[G3 General] Billy Madison:
You may easily create a folder named "Ringtones" in the internal flash, not microSD card, and copy all your custom ringtones there. The reason is if you eject your microSD card all your custom ringtones will be set back to default since folder of microSD will not be available

I don't know the .M4R thing but all phones can see .m4a format music and may use them as a ringtones
[G3 General] meyerweb:
Internal flash and internal SD are the same thing.

You can try CandyKat. It's based on SlimKat but with a bit more features, yet still lightweight.
