I am assuming you mean Class 10, since I think the classes go up by increments of two (never an odd number).

I never did a speed test, nor have got an Apex FC, but then again, my beloved Fx3Q has been on my study desk more-or-less collecting dust ever since I flashed that ROM (well the test version with xdajog's recovery/boot swap trick).

I had it on last night (trying to find an answer for an LG G2), and the only issue I had (completely unrelated) was the battery dipped to 12% since I had it on last (which may have been a month or so ago).

Regarding the force close though....if Apex was kept up-to-date on the system partition, it shouldn't have to try to pull from the slower MicroSD. I've fallen behind in that regard, but a way to do this on your end (take a nandroid first) is to ditch the Apex updates in Apps settings, download the latest Apex to your PC (or phone), and push it to the phones /system/app, effectively replacing the existing file (make sure the file names and permissions are the same).

To prevent Google Play from installing Apex updates automatically, well, there's an option for that. You will get the notification that a update is available, and you can the act the long way around.

As for SD card speeds, I hear that the higher the class is, the faster the reads are, but the writes slow down. But I didn't notice any real difference with my class 10 (but I have been using small apps, Chrome would have been the heaviest).

Hope this helps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] jloh1963:
I mentioned it only because you mentioned it in your 1st post. I don't care either way. I use Nova instead of Apex.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ajoh99:
Gotcha. I have not been any issues with it recently. I little slow but it gets me by and works reliably.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
Pin/Password

Tried flashing the hle w/microsd but when I boot, I see a clock with "Enter pin/password"

The only thing I can think of is that I established a trace lock on the stock rom before flashing, But you wouldn't think that would carry over... Guess I'll try the backup pin.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
Nope. The "Pin/Password to decrypt" is something different. Can't get around it.

Did someone bake this in?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
It is possible something is weird with your MicroSD. Are both partitions showing up as numbers 1 (legacy storage, FAT32) and 2 (new data, ext)?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
No issues with the sd. I formatted it with gparted; two primary partitions one fat32 and one ext4, both are recognized in Linux.

After those issues I flashed back to stock... But now I can't find any cell networks. Any ideas? Are there baseband/radio files?

I know this is old so I do appreciate any help you can provide.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
I am curious if anything was saved in the ext4 partition. If it is not recognized as p2, then nothing would save there since the ROM could not reference it.

As for baseband, I am unsure of that issue. Most times I left the ROM was because I fouled things up enough to have to use the LG restore tool. It is a pain to have to use it since it means re-rooting, but it may be a good option for you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
I was able to flash and boot into the regular hle, still no network detection though.

I must have either destroyed a partition with the radio stuff that isn't fixed by a stock flash or I broke something hardware wise (I notice that one of the pins that contact the back battery cover broke...Couldn't find my soldering iron to build it back up)

I ordered a new lg f3q, I will make sure to actually do a nandroid backup on this one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
I cannot remember if this one comes with NFC, but it seems the lost contact may have shut down the antenna for that.

Be sure to locate and back up modemst1 and modemst2 as well (using DD). That may have gotten corrupted somewhere with the current one.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
The phone does have NFC.

Bit of an update for posterity if someone else decides to mess with some old tech like I do:

I received the "new" F3Q, which also has a broken bottom contact that no longer touches the back battery case (out of the box). After plugging in my SIM, this "new" phone displays the same issue my other one had, it will not see or register on the Tmobile network. I tried my SIM in spare phones I have laying around and all of them have signal and work.

So based on this the following are my thoughts:

1. The LG F3Q might have the cell antenna on the back cover or the NFC on the back cover is also the cell antenna. I cannot confirm this as I cannot find a teardown or schematics for the phone.

2. Perhaps the SIM holder Is damaged in some way on both, but I find this unlikely, given the first phone I had worked fine until I tried imaging it. I wager in the many times I opened and closed the case back I accidentally broke that contact which is why I lost service.

3. Perhaps it is something with my SIM, but this is also unlikely as I tested it in many phones.

So I will pick up a new soldering iron tonight and try and build up the broken contact so it can touch the back case contact again. If that works I will look at a more permanent solution.

Shame there are no other GSM LTE qwerty phones aside from blackberry, and I hate the blackberry form factor.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Swordfish II:
The plot thickens. I carefully built up the contact to the same height as the other and both contacts touch the appropriate spots on the back cover. But the problem persists.

I will get a new SIM card today to see if that helps, but otherwise I am at a loss.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Lukong:
I was wondering if you can collaborate a 4.3.x Kitkat ROM w/OpenGLES 3.x Support and a Recovery that can Partition the File System of a MicroSD Card or make 4.3.x Kitkat Rom MicroSD Edition w/OpenGLES 3.x Support.

If not do you have the Source Files for the rom you built or where I can go to make such a rom.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] OfficerJimLahey:
So much wrong with that request, besides the necrobump.

The ROM provided is altered stock, not source built. You have an impossible situation there, in part since 4.3 is not KitKat.

Also, I sold that device years ago; anyone I knew who worked with it too has moved on as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChriMo:
I'm a Newbie on Android/Custom ROMs and after testing is over I would like to use a CustomROM (CM, crdroid, etc.) together with DAVdroid to sync my contacts with ownCloud. Just from the moment when I received my second cell phone (Siemens) decades :D ago I loved the feature to assign custom ringtones to groups of contacts.

I really miss this type of feature on Android and it seems neither stock nor CustomROMs include this. I found one 2011 app here (WhoIsIt Lite) that seems abandoned and incompatible with KitKat. In Google Play I did find one app: Group Ringtones, which does the basic job, by writing the selected ringtone for all group members. But when a new group member gets created after, he does not receive the group ringtone as long as the process is not repeated afaik.

Is there any such group ringtone function integrated in a CustomROM or a more comprehensive app (custom notifications etc., ringtones/profiles connected to calendar events)?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djtrella:
Hi guys I've exactly the dame question ... I'm using group ringtones right now buy I'm noto satisfied too. Any idea?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mrmitchellryan:
So I was trying to unlock my bootloader on my Moto G Universal 4G LTE (xt1045) and Motorola's website told my that my device was ineligible for bootloader unlocking. My carrier is AT&T and I know that AT&T locks the bootloaders on it's devices but I'm not sure if that is the problem because I bought my phone from Amazon not AT&T. Is there some other reason why I wouldn't be able to unlock my bootloader or is it because my device is on AT&T?

Device: Moto G 4G LTE xt1045

Carrier: AT&T

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Munkee915:
It seems the Turbo doesnt have the miracast option to auto connect to the last receiver used. I'm more than a little disappointed in this. Previous Moto phones have had it and I was really hoping it would be on the Turbo as I use miracast pretty much daily to connect to my car's HU. I was really hoping to be able to use the auto connect and skip this extra step in my routine every morning. Any hope it may be put in with a future update?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hi,

Let me apologise first for posting this message but I really need help from this forum. I rooted my Xperia SP 12.1.A.1.205 using Towelroot & then installed SuperSU & gained complete root access.

I'm completely clueless regarding all this. I want to know what should I do next? I want to improve my phone's battery life and work on other features. How do I do it? This is the first time I rooted my phone. I have zero knowledge regarding this.

Please help me in improving my battery's life and let me know what should be my next step. Would be highly grateful if someone guides me.

Thanks! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
You will have a glorious day experiencing new stuff if you search through Google. :D But no worries I will give you some head start suggestions.

I recommend Xposed Framework to be installed on your phone. Learn about it here. With it you can now modify your ROM to be as best as possible as per to your need. Some module recommendations, you can use GravityBox to modify some nice visual appearances on your ROM. You might also use GEM Xperia Xposed to advancedly modify your Xperia home screen. You will also find YourTube interesting as it allows you to change how the YouTube app behaves.

Battery saving is a lot better with Xposed installed. By using Greenify you can hibernate RAM hogging plus battery killing app. Also with Amplify you can drastically reduce battery draining caused by Google services.

Last but not least, you may also experience the bigger picture, by installing recovery and flash a new ROM on your phone (but this is a practise that requires accuracy when doing it). Think about KitKat, you can have it on your phone by selecting one of many wonderful ROMs built by wonderful Xperia SP developers. :)

I hope you can get some pictures with this post.

ROM = Firmware = Operating System

Flash = Push files into the higher level file system
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hi!

Thanks a lot for taking out time and replying to my query. So you're saying that I should first install Xposed Framework? I don't want any fancy looking theme or design for my SP. I just want a simple layout. My only concern is to improve my battery's life. Nothing else :D

So should I only install Xposed Framework and then install Amplify? Will this much do?

Thanks a lot once again! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hi again,

I installed Xpose Framework successfully and Amplify. I even bought Amplify pro version. I don't think my battery life has improved. I guess the battery is discharging faster than it used to. Can you please guide me in helping this problem? Without WiFi, I love 1% charge in 5 minutes that too in flight mode. If I go through the menu for some time, I lose battery.

I successfully rooted, installed Xpose and Amplify. Please help me!

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Installing it only without customising won't help! Take your time to learn the app. Additionally, Amplify doesnt drain more battery on my device. Perhaps something else is? Amplify does not do anything if you haven't modify anything, plus, even if it runs, it uses the system process, which extremely cut-down battery sucking that normally happen with solo processes.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hey,

Thanks a lot for replying! How do I know which services/alarm to stop in Amplify?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
I read few queries in some forums regarding the battery problem and most of the people suggested to upgrade the kernel or something of that sort. Can you please let me know if I should tune my kernel to improve my battery's life and if yes, how should I go about it?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
You don't "stop" them but you "limit" them. The two terms are very different. I am using a different ROM so I cannot suggest a common things for my ROM, but these are standard among devices as they are included with play services:

Wakelocks

NlpWakeLock

SyncLoopWakeLock

NlpCollectorWakeLock

Alarms

com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_LOCATOR

com.google.android.gms.nlp.ALARM_WAKEUP_ACTIVITY_DETECTION

Services

This feature is new, and there's currently no known safe services to be limited with Amplify

Sorry since you're using stock ROM, kernel modifications are way too limited.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hello again,

Thank you so much once again for replying. Ok, I get it.

So if I change my stock ROM to some other ROM, will I be able to modify the kernel then? Can you tell me if I should change my ROM..if yes, then can you suggest me how I do it?

You're awesome! God bless you :):D
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Ok, this is really annoying. My battery is creating problem for me. I fully charged my phone, and it's been almost 5 hours and I have lost 5% charge that too in flight mode with almost all the services turned off. The display was turned on for 10 minutes only. That's it. Can you please help me in solving this problem?

I have read almost everywhere where people keep their phones in flight mode and they don't even lose 1% after 8-10 hours.

What should I do?

Thanks a lot! :)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
Thanks :p However, this is not an easy process. You should know too that risk of your phone being damaged is quite moderate when performing these tasks. I can't tell you if you should, as it should be completely based on your requirements only. Decide for yourself and try the ROMs for yourself. I may guide you, but this will give you plenty of new questions. And since you are new to android, there are many things that are unknown to you. But these things are well documented / answered if you use the search feature of the forum and Google. Only ask for something that is unique enough.

Sorry, I can't help about this bug in stock ROM. Another person faces this problem as well but unfortunately there are no fix. Alternatively, you can save your battery by changing network mode to GSM only.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hi,

Thank you so much for replying. I am willing to take the risk. Can you tell me how I should begin upgrading my ROM? I will use the forum in case I face any problem. I just need some one to guide me.

My cell stays in flight mode and I don't even use it. I lose 1% every hour even if my phone enters into deep sleep with only 1% awake time. What is wrong?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
I might take my phone to the Sony service centre for a check up. Can you please tell me how do I unroot my phone? I used Towelroot to root my phone and then installed Xposed Framework. How do I make it go back to the original state?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechnoSparks:
To uninstall Xposed, open the Xposed Installer, select "Framework" and then hit the "Uninstall" button. What root application did you installed? Is it SuperSU? If so, you can easily unroot it by searching through its settings.. I am sorry I can't pinpoint to the exact location.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Battery Drain...

The battery drain your getting is probably due to alarm service/google play services/android os. I have the same issue, stock .205 clean and rooted, whenever the alarm is on I get horrible battery drain what makes it worse is that the android os uses excess mobile data which causes the battery drain. I think the alarm has something to do with google play services. There is no problem when the alarm is off, but I need it so cannot turn it off.

It is a very annoying issue that I haven't been able to fix, these running services prevent the device from going into deep sleep hence the battery drain, I typically lose between 23%-30% over night at a rate of ~3% per hour. :crying:

This probably doesn't help your situation but at least your not the only one. ;)
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Thanks a lot for replying. Thank you Shin; but my Xperia SP enters into deep sleep mode 99%.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
I'm extremely irritated now! I changed my phone and got a new one but still there is battery drain. I rooted it, installed Xposed Framework, installed Greenify (Donation), disabled almost all the useless services yet I lose almost 2% charge every hour that too in flight mode without even touching my phone!

What is wrong with Xperia SP? Can anyone please help me in solving this problem? Please?
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Bro, there is nothing wrong with the phone, as I said above it is to do with the software, from my experience the stock based eXistenZ ROM does not have battery drain but still has **** RAM, you might want to give it a try.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajsampad:
Hi,

Thanks for replying! Can you please tell me how do I install it? I have no idea how to do it. What about the RAM problem? Will it slow down my phone?

Thanks!
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinOrochiX:
Here is the thread. Installing is easy, use the locked bootloader version, instructions are provided. In the instructions it says you should be on the 4.1.2 firmware but being on the latest 4.3 firmware is ok. To put it simply all you need to do is download the ROM, root your device (towel root), install superuser (apk), install cwm recovery via windows, flash ROM. If you need more help get back to me.

As for the RAM, it is still a problem even on eXistenZ, I believe it affects all stock ROM/kernel variants. From my experience the device still runs smoothly it is just that there is less free RAM available so the home launcher commonly closes when heavy apps/several apps are opened but it then reopens when returned to.

Hi

I am new to the forums. Quick question, I just rooted my Gs3 att running Android 4.4.2 with clockwork mod and odin and all that good stuff. I originally downloaded a superuser.zip file which was installed with CWM. However when I opened it up it would crash everytime. I went to drag and delete it, but i accidentally turned it off. That superuser dissapeard from my apps page. So I downloaded a different superuser.zip and did the process over again, CWM confirmed the install and I rebooted. But when I go to open superuser it isnt anywhere. I have tried looking in the application manager, and all of my files and I cannot find it! Any help?

Thanks,

I bought this one from Ebay for under $20 shipped. Not sure what you're looking for, but I've been very happy with it. It has a power adapter cable for charging through the mini-USB port, PLUS a separate USB cable to sync with the computer.

I like the angled cradle stand. I can more easily use the keyboard and use the apps while in the cradle charging/syncing. Since I have this desktop cradle, a car charger, and the OEM charger on my desk at work, I didn't opt for a charger w/extra battery that could charge both at once.
