[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark00712:
hi there, i am stuck in a mess with my phone and need ur expert advice please help. i am using samsung galaxy s5 exynos version on android 4.4.2. i tried to install custom recovery but it didnt install well and my knoxx counter was tripped too. now wenever i try too boot my phone there is green android sign showing no command and error after that. however i m still getting option of stock recovery and it is workin too. is there any way to remove that error. thanks for the help and time.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gatekpr:
The phone was dropped and the touchscreen no longer works. I can hit the power and then the down arrow keys to tell it to go off or to slient, vibrate, etc. I have pressed every key and there's no way to swipe it unlocked so I can start a backup app and remove my data from the phone.

HELP!

Does anyone have any words of advice or a way to accomplish this?

Thank you!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
It may be ROM-dependent, but doesn't opening the kb unlock the screen? I'm guessing it doesn't on the ROM you are currently on...

Also, if the USB port is fine, what about just plugging it into a computer and pulling the data off that way?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gatekpr:
Good questions! It's stock ROM, directly from Sprint. Sadly, no, when you pop open the screen to reveal the keyboard, the screen comes on, but it doesn't auto-unlock. Since I can't use the touchscreen, I was hoping there was some magical key sequence that would swype it unlocked.

I can plug into USB and it detects it, but because the screen isn't unlocked, it won't allow access to it. It's a lose-lose situation, ugh. I am going to track down Motorola support today. I've downloaded the manual, it says nothing.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
You can connect USB mouse to your phone via OTG cable and control the phone by mouse instead of touchscreen.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] gatekpr:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! THAT WORKED FLAWLESSLY AND I WAS ABLE TO SAVE THE DAY!

I didn't know that the cable existed, but I found it at Micro Center, locally! Woo hoo! This will help me in the future again, I know it. Thank you for being so helpful!

Hey, guys

Just wanna let you know what an awesome job you are doing. I picked up my TyTn on Friday night - it's my first ppc device. Within 24 hours I managed to downgrade by bootloader, go to Super CID, unlock my ROM and update my Radio stack! The wiki's are truly excellent, and for a noob like myself it's like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

I have learned a lot in the past couple of days, mostly how intricate all this hacking & cooking stuff is. Kudos!!

Right now i'm following the GPS forum with interest, where dutty & Bobstarina are talking like a couple of mad professors hacking into an alien supercomputer with pof just throwing in a wise word every now and again.:D

Also on the ROM cooking front, kyphur is working some strange voodoo. Hope we see Crossbow for Hermes soon guys!

Anycase, i've said my piece, and I said it here so that it doesn't interrupt the mentioned super gurus nor the ones not mentioned. I know you're out there too.

On behalf of myself and the other people you are helping here, i salute you. RESPECT!:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] JR_de:
LMAO!!! That's exactly what I'm thinking.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] elivne:
We all love your work, I don't know what we would do without you guys.

keep on the good work!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Bimboy:
Short term lurker paying similar respect as well. I learned so much and only wish I had the skills (and cajones) some you these guys have to lend a hand.

Happy 8525 owner, SuperCID, upgraded radio, had about 6 roms on it so far, and happy to be tinkering. GPS would be more than icing on the cake, and I'm not counting on it ever working, but I keep glued to that thread and rooting for you crazy guys.

(oh, pof and sleuth rule too) :)

(edit: Bootloader now 1.01MFG too) C'est magnifique. You guys rock.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] .VIBE:
Can you believe some of these guys will willingly brick a Hermes just to figure something out? Now THAT is dedication:eek: :eek:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] .VIBE:
Many thanks once again to all the mods & proffesionals for their help. With the new AKU update a bunch of us noobs are floating to the surface requesting help.

Big up to Sleuth, Pof, Shogunmark and all the others, you know who you are. Some of you guys have been surprisingly patient, even to guys who have failed to read the wiki's properly. You make owning a hemes the experience we were all hoping it would be. Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ande2k10:
Hey, so I've been having this irritating problem for a while now... First it didn't really bother me that much, but now I'm starting to loose my mind over it..

The problem is that my Samsung galaxy s4 keeps on loosing my internet connection f.ex as I'm surfing thru the internet on anysite actually, while refreshing a page or trying to acces to a new page

I come across starting at the blank screen for a while and figuring that my phone once again lost the connection to the internet, this takes up to approx. 5-10 secs. After that the internet connection comes back,

and the internet works OK for a couple of minutes again. While i'm somehow still able to live with this problem, there's another. I constantly use GPS, google maps at work as I happen to be a courier at a delivery firm, the

gps freezes from time to time and usually when I'm leaving from one stop to another and try to input a new address into googlemaps it takes like 10 seconds till it finds the adress because the internet once again disconnected.

I also have another problem, My phone keeps blocking calls and i'm neither able to call anyone instantly, when I dial up a number and start calling the person my phone goes into somekind of "thinking" mode and it usually takes like

10 seconds ( sometimes longer ) before the phone starts to dial..

If there's anyone who knows how to fix this problem i'd appreciate it alot, really... I really WOULD. this phone is literally driving me crazy, and since I'm still paying of this phone, I don't really have the money to buy a new one lol..

The Phone is rooted, i've installed plenty of roms but seems like I have the same problem with every rom...

Atm i'm using the Samsungs original firmware which i downloaded from samsmobile.

Thanks in advance,

best regards ~ andy.

Hi guys!

Check out our new Halloween game!

Mystery Crypt is a brand new Halloween game that involves scares and logic. The mind game is arranged in a sort of puzzle that gets your brain working without getting bored. The action takes place on a graveyard, filled with tons of white bones on a dark Halloween night. The bones were left from previous players who did not have enough brains to win the game. Your job, as a player, is to save the unfortunate souls and bring the dead players back to life by connecting their broken bones on the graveyard.

Each bone can be rotated around its center. Rotate each bone as long as you find a way to connect them together. The more bones you connect, the more points you get. For more points, you can use different bonuses:

-Blow the whole graveyard up with multiple Skull Bombs.

-Teleport your bones with the Witch Bonus.

-Surprise yourself with the Pink Boiling Potion Bonus.

-and many more!

Mystery Crypt gives you a variety of time attack options and difficulty levels. As a beginner, start with the classical game type mode and then build your own routine!

If you are in a time rush, go with the 3 minute time attack in the hardest level to warm up your brain quickly and productively . If you've got plenty of time to spare, try going over an hour non stop for the Patience Sign! Earn the Einstein Sign if playing 9 levels through on the hardest level. For those smart ones out there, is the special Endless mode available, which is pretty self- explanatory- the game extends to a very long time period.

Don't forget to check and compare your scores in the game center!

Since this game is on the harder side, you cannot forget about the tutorial-TutorialPassed Sign. If you skip the tutorial and try to randomly rotate the bones on the graveyard without knowing what it's for, you'll give up too quickly and get bored too easily. So, don't skip your warm-up!

Unlike other boring mind games, Mystery Crypt will not get you bored that easily thanks to the attractive Halloween theme, spooky Halloween sounds and the tricky bone combinations that make you turn your head on and use your mind and your logic in order to solve the Mystery.

So what are you waiting for? Download Mystery Crypt to test your intelligence and waste your time wisely by training your brain in the most amusing and entertaining way possible!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h20wakebum:
So the question is... now that Lollipop comes with a stock SMS/MMS solution (messanger), will Google be retooling/thinking how it integrated google voice SMS and MMS into Hangouts?

Ideally, I'd like to have my Voice SMS and MMS now sync with the Lollipop messanger app.

Anyone else have thoughts on this/know what the plan is?

-RR
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheROMGuy:
I just hope they give it a quick reply function like the AOSP messenger app.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Pretty sure it only has the stock Messaging app as it's still the preview and none of the GApps are pre-installed. The Nexus 6 has GApps so I'd imagine the Nexus 5 version will too

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tg2012:
Couple months back I tried a water test and dunked my phone in about a foot of water. The water seal covers where weak from wear and tear but my OCD told me to go on anyways. Some water got into my headphone jack and my USB side of the phone, yes the white tabs turned pink on both.

It took a whole twenty four hours to get the hardware and software working on the phone, but sometimes it seems like it's running under performance level by a little... Not sure if it is or its just in my head, but even though my phone fully recovered is it true that it can affect the performance by possibly getting the CPU or some other hardware wet?!

Thanks!

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
First test is online and it doesn't look too pleasing. I'm guessing the 1440p panel really does zap the life out of this thing.

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/droid-turbo-battery-life,news-19846.html
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] fury683:
I don't know how bright 150 nits are, but that basically means you can easily get ~9.5 hours of SoT, right?

I had a day where my Razr Maxx was off the charger for 16 hours, with over 8 hours of SoT and over 1GB of data transferred by my reddit app (it was a very lazy Sunday). If I can get back to that sort of battery life, it would be awesome. I don't need 2 days of power use, I just need enough for a long day with heavy use.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
in all phones defense, not even one phone in the world lasts more than 12 hours with a full bright screen and 4G LTE enabled, no matter what you do, thats heavy use (IMHO)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
Most phone's full brightness is upwards of 500nits. This test was only at 150nits which is pretty low on the brightness spectrum.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jaocagomez:
oh sh- really? something its not right, then, wait... its without turning the screen off, then?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Erasmus354:
I'm gonna wait for a second review that list seems a bit suspect to me. Never seen the OnePlus that much higher than everything else on other roundups before.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Juliann826:
exactly. that site seems to be off by quite a bit in several of the ratings on battery life.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] traccdma:
Several shortcomings in their test. Here are a few I thought of immediately.

1) different cell carriers / frequencies. Some may have additional compression/caching.

2) different signal strengths. What if that cell/data signal was LTE at -60dB, but the Verizon switched occasionally from LTE to 3G and was at -100dB

3) testing group of dynamic web sites. "100 public sites" (content changes very quickly-multiple times a day. Sometimes more graphics intense and with auto playing video to cache/buffer)

4) were they tested at the same time? Same day? Weeks apart?

5) same web browser on all phones? same version? same phone cache settings? same plugin versions?

I'm more interested in how it performs over the Droid Maxx. I don't want to lose battery life, which I fear I will due to the processor/gpu usage in order to drive the higher resolution. I have read that the display backlight is relatively constant in terms of power consumption.

I ordered a light meter from amazon. I'll set them to the same brightness and play video files from a private server: first over VZW LTE, then after recharging from the device's own memory in airplane mode.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] DelBoy:
That test is bull****.

HTC One M8 gets 9:52 hours. In what world is that?!

And other numbers from that test are just crazy and nonsense
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Jr6278:
My m8 gets half of that on Verizon
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] crazy talk:
The test doesn't line up with reality, I wouldn't expect the numbers to match any other site, but I would expect the overall hierarchy to match other sites reviews.

The IP6 is too low, The M8 is too high, The OPO is laughably too high. The Note 4 is lower than it should be...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] pjd2011:
Just to clarify - let's make this the battery life thread. I for one don't think this first test is anything official by any means but as more reviews come out let's talk about them here!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] qwerty12601:
Seems like thats the case with a lot of phones on verizon (iphone, moto x, lg g3)...
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
You're right, a lot of these 'tests' are so skewed and have no basis. The test they did proves nothing, absolutely nothing. Now, if you were to take a say, S5, M8, Turbo and use all of them on the same network, and same usage (web, video, calls, messaging and do exactly the same on all the devices) is the only way to really test the battery. Using one device on one network and one on another is absurd. I.e., when T-Mobile initially launched LTE it wasn't a full launch and the signal was weaker, causing the phone to try and find a stronger signal or struggle to keep the existing LTE signal, which results in a significant battery drain. Resulting in me switching my phone back to 4G for the time being. And then the network speeds, the longer the phones takes to load something also means the longer the screen will be lit resulting in yet again more battery drain. Those are just some factors that haven't even scratched the surface behind how the battery can be drained. These people need to stop testing phones without sufficient background data. Taking their site off my list of reliable sources.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] qwerty12601:
The peoblem is, the droid turbo is only available on verizon as of now. So theres no method to get different results (better or worse) on another carrier. I would hope theyd repeat tge test a few times to verify, but the result is what it is. Its perfectly fair to compare to othwr devices on other networks. Because if someone is looking for the phone with the best battery life they might go to an at&t htc one. Its not htc's fault that the turbo is limited to verizon.

And verizon claims the best coverage in the U.S. so unless they were doing the test in one of the few black holes where verizon doesnt get a good sig al compared to at&t, its not a skewed result.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
Then that means their results are inconclusive. But yes right now only Verizon sells it but it doesn't mean you can't use it on tmobile or att and test it... The phone is GSM unlocked and will work on tmobile's lte.... If you think their tests prove something that is the equivalent to comparing a 4 cylinder vehicle to a 6 cylinder, while driving the 6 cylinder conservatively and then pedal to the metal on the 4 all the time. In that example it's like how a prius would get lower mpg vs a m3 if you drove the prius aggressively and the m3 conservatively, and that test has been done but just for sh*ts and giggles. They're also comparing devices with different hardware on different networks. I guess it's dependent on how thorough you want to be, I don't buy any of the results they posted.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] qwerty12601:
I dont see how your analogy compares to this at all. they didn't have the phones set any differently. They were all set to the same brightness and used on their respective networks. How else would you have liked them to have done this test?

if your indications are that because they are on different networks that's affecting the battery life, then a more appropriate analogy would be comparing 0 to 60of an m3 and s4 with the m3 being up at 10,000 feet elevation and the s for being at sea level. Being naturally aspirated engines struggle more at high altitudes that would be an unfair comparison ;)
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] joshm.1219:
Yeah that's the main problem, if the test involves constant data pulling over the network, that becomes a huge factor of the test.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] qwerty12601:
But if all of them are doing that then whhere is the discrepancy, ya know?

And its really not a matter of competing against other phones. If thats what the result js for the droid turbo on verizons nerwork then it is what it is. Doesnt matter if the M8 on at&t or iphone on t-mobile get better or worse time. Theyre not taking power away feom the droid turbo.

Id love to see more independent tests though.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] gordonzhao:
I think that's where your confusion lies (my observation), there is no control (factor) group to compare it to. Of the 7 they tested, if they tested them all on VZW and then tested the same devices going through the same usage on AT&T then you can compare the devices on their respective networks. There's too many factors to account for the way they tested it. Another factor is the phone is....a day old? The battery hasn't even settled yet. The other devices they're comparing it to range from 6 months to half a month old. A very good comparison would be to test the, M8, OnePlus One, S5, and perhaps a G3 since they all use the same processor, and obviously other hardware is different but at least they have something in common. Now I'm not saying you can't compare an iPhone's battery life to an Android's either, so don't get the wrong idea there. It's just there are too many factors to offer conclusive results from how they way they 'tested.' But if you feel they are good enough for you then I'm not going to try and persuade you otherwise, I'm simply pointing out that their test would be insufficient for my standards.

As I previous stated above, I'd probably take the results from fellow XDA members over their data. I'd give it a few days to a week and check out the reports from other users after their battery has settled down as I don't remember any phone I've had in the past that was showing great battery life within the first few days of usage. There's so much going on with the phone that it's constantly working to get settled in, software and hardware. It's also like flashing a ROM on your phone, the battery life is never at it's best within the first few days after flashing, same principle with a new device that is...again, a day old.
