[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Ever since I updated to 4.4.3 my phone has had battery issue. It has gotten so bad my phone only lasts 3 hours while using it for skype with the screen off, wifi off, all the rest off except data. It just burns in 2 - 3 hours. Then I decided to turn off the phone and back on. Magically it said my battery was 45% when it showed 11% when I turned it off. I've read tons of things about battery issues with 4.4.x OS and I was wondering if there is anything I should do before I go ahead and buy a new battery anyway. It used to last 6 - 7 hours of good usage.

So before I get a new rom, or maybe a new battery, what troubleshooting would be best? None of the specific things I found on google really gave me any ideas. I tried a few programs to "optimize" running apps already. Next I figured I'd attempt to use a battery calibrator.

Hey,

So I saw that with the new Google Camera API 60fps video was enabled, so I wanted to test it out. I followed the instructions in a forum

You must have root access and busybox installed on your Nexus 5. (The latter is not strictly required, but makes the process easier as it provides install and pidof.)
Download libmmcamera_imx179_lpx13d_60hz.so in the repository and transfer it to the device. (The following assumes that it is located in /sdcard/.)
Launch a root shell.
Make a backup of the original library first: cp /system/lib/libmmcamera_imx179.so /sdcard/libmmcamera_imx179_original.so
Run mount -o remount,rw /system to re-mount the /system partition for read-write.
Replace the library: install -m644 /sdcard/libmmcamera_imx179_lpx13d_60hz.so /system/lib/libmmcamera_imx179.so
Run mount -o remount,ro /system to re-mount /system as read-only again.
Restart both the camera daemon and media server: kill $(pidof mm-qcamera-daemon) $(pidof mediaserver)

And to restore it said to follow steps 5-8 but using the backed up /sdcard/libmmcamera_imx179_original.so

I did this, but now none of my camera apps are working, when I open google camera it just freezes on the grey screen with the camera. How can I go about restoring this library properly?

Thank you very much.

P.S. I foud out the original instructions were from the lcamera github.

Hey guys hope you are well, wondering if you can help me with an issue on my Z2. I've noticed recently my phone has started to fell very hot to touch and occassionally lagging a bit doing pretty normal things like web browsing. I ran unutu and found that I wasn't getting the scores that I usually got even at stock and when overclocked a message would come up stating that my phone was too hot to even start the test. I've don't think it's too many apps I've checked my cpu oads during normal use and they always stay under 40%. I run greenify and have manager to limit the number of apps at start up. I also run at -12 volatge daily and I haven't run into any issues with temps up to now so I really can't figure out what it could be. Anyone have any ideas to to what could have caused it?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Bump, anyone?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Make a backup in twrp or cwm

Flash a FTF via flashtool, exclude data

See if it still lags

Sometimes partitions mess up
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Well I am using a custom rom could that be causing it? I flashed the rom to begin with and i had no overheating issues at all but my phone started being weird with storage so I completely wiped the phone and installed everything again including the custom rom and that's when it started overheating
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Existenz causes mass heating, i dont know about the others all too much
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
I'm using the Sirius audio rom, I haven't heard any reports of it overheating and it was fine the 1st time I installed so I think you may be right in saying my partition may be screwed up.

Just tried backing up my data using cwm and it comes up with an error message: 'Error while making a backup of /system' I definitely have enough space on my sd card, any idea what could be causing this?

EDIT: When backing up my it says there's only 700mb free when I know there's at least 17gb! some thing's definitely not right here
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
Backup your internal storage

(aka plug into pc and copy)

Flash a FTF using flashtool and after thats done put ur stuff back into ur storage

(int storage will be wiped)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
EDIT 2: Just realised cwm was trying to backup to the internal storage but it was called sd card and my actual sd card was called sd card 1 :eek: seems to backing up fine now :good:

Ok so I wont need to factory reset before flashing a the rom again then?

Also what's flash tool? Can I not use cwm to flash?

Sorry for all the noob questions this is the 1st phone I've rooted and I'm pretty new to all this stuff :eek:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Thanks for your help Envious _Data I figured out what you meant above

just one last thing do I have to flash a stock rom and re-root again or can I convert my custom rom to a ftf file?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
try flashing a stock based rom. if that doesnt work then flash a FTF
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Ok so I've flashed a stock rom with flash tool, now I can just go ahead and flash my custom rom straight over the top right?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostofcain:
I'd recommend using stock rom as is for a couple of days, it'll give you a control to compare your custom rom with and hopefully rule out possible hardware issues.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bazooka Tooth:
Just tested idle temps and they do seem to be a bit lower, however I can't really compare atm as I did most of my testing whilst benching :p

I have just recently started have a problem with my audio pausing/skipping when connected to my Sony mw600 headset. It never gave me any problems until recently and I have a different bluetooth adapter in my car that doesn't behave this way. I've tried switching Kernel versions (I couldn't remember if BT was kernel related, went from Lean Kernel v. 3.8 to 3.10), unpairing/repairing, and doing a hard reset on the headset itself. Are there any suggestions anyone else may have? Or know of anything that may be causing it? Thanks in advance.

Hi

Anyone having an issue with the stock flashlight app on the new Lollipop 5.0 not turning on

As a person working in IT and with crappy eye sight, this app really is a must for me.

A reboot of the phone will fix it, but by then the need for the light will normally have passed as I'll just ask someone around me for help

Found this was happening on the preview l as well, thought it they have sorted it in the finished release.

The issue is intermittent and a quick reboot always fixes the issue. I must check the next time it goes, if the camera is broke as well
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
I have no idea what could cause that. My flashlight comes on every time I toggle it. Tesla LED (I think that's the name of it) is a good flashlight app in the Play Store if you want to try a third party app and see if it works better for you

Anyone working on a fix for the camera? any workarounds for the issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsgraphicart:
From what Ben36 is saying, it seems to be caused my leaving the flashlight on for a long period of time. So I would say it's a bug in the system that Google needs to fix. Try other apps like the one I mentioned and see if you get the same issue.

i have searched high and low for help on this one and can't find anything similar.... Though I found one thread that suggests I attempt the HTVDEV unlock code 5 times in a row.. Which did not work.

I returned my phone to stock several weeks ago. Locked the boot loader (see pic#1) Then I had something weird happen , where The phone rebooted to a "enter password to decrypt"??? I never encrypted my phone. So I read the only way around this was to do a factory reset. So, I rebooted the phone into bootloader and attempted a factory reset. The phone then rebooted and is frozen on the HTC splash screen. See pic#3

I have attempted to unlock the bootloader so I can flash a good recovery (which I cannot access, then will just reboot)

So basically I only have access to fastboot. When I plug in the phone into windows, I cannot access through ADB. (Same thing in Linux)

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah and all you can do from fastboot with those restrictions is, erase cache. Erase it like 3 times in a row and see if it works, who knows. I flashed cwm recovery which sometimes gets me into recovery, like 1 out of 10 recovery flashes. then you are allowed to finally use adb commands
