I also don't really care that much how long it takes my phone to boot. However, it's still concerning to see it boot SO much slower than its similarly spec'd contemporaries. The slow boot is a symptom of an underlying issue, not a problem in itself.
[Nexus 6  General] scoobiesnacks:
I don't quite see how this has turned around to me being the problem. I don't have access to power and the best I can get is 2-3 hours screen time.

People need to consider that the way they use a phone might be different to other users.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
The underlying issue is that all these devices are not running under the same conditions. Turn on encryption and update to lollipop (or turn on Art) and run the test.
[Nexus 6  General] polke45:
FYI, turning your phone on and off actually drains the battery faster. When booting up, it needs to load like a hundred of process so eventually it will easily eats up your phone's resource. If you leave your phone on standby, it will last longer. 2nd, why bother getting a phone if you don't keep it on for calls. You'll be better off getting a small size tablet and use Google Hangout to make your call for free when needed
[Nexus 6  General] digitaloutsider:
Until these are all running Lollipop as well, I couldn't really care less about comparisons.

Even then, who cares if it's 45 seconds slower? I'd argue that the amount of people that reboot their phones multiple times daily are a VERY small minority. On average, I reboot my Moto X once a week or so just to keep it fresh.
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
You know you don't have to turn off the device to charge it, right?
[Nexus 6  General] scoobiesnacks:
Yes
[Nexus 6  General] akellar:
Ok then I'll go ahead and let you worry about things that don't matter and enjoy my device.

Oh god. Aaaaaaaand......it rebooted every time you had to update an app. I cringe every time I think I actually bought the Storm 2 thinking it was going to be better than the original.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philliman:
Anybody thinking about trading up their Note 4 for a Note Edge? If so, why? If not, why not?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Nope, because im not about to pay 200+ for a 2 inch screen on the side that will be nothing more than a distraction lol. Imagine flashing aosp on that thing (for those who like aosp lol) Will either have a useless 2 inch hanging on the side or a loopy screen.

Also, it is EXACTLY like the note 4 with nothing special. Note 4 regular look more comfortable to hold for me and with the note 4 reg having screen protection issue, i can't even begin to imagine how the edge will be. Also case issues, i do not want to imagine how that will work out.

overall, i just can't justify payng 1000+ for that just because one side of it is bent lol. 800 on my reg note 4 is pushing my budget.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Compusmurf:
Also, I figure so few folks will go for it, the rom scene and root will probably be "light"

and if you are at all interested in the VR attachment, it does NOT work on the edge.

Plus getting a screen protector or case is going to be very hard. :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klhjerz:
Might have decided on the Note Edge had it came out at the same time as the standard but probably not now. Will wait and see what the Note 5 brings to the table.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbotoe:
Theres that as well. I can understand if you upgraded straight to it you know? But why get the Note 4, just to go get the edge after...just make no sense to me
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philliman:
Well put! Lol I agree. My wife may want it so I might have to find her note 4 a new home. She doesn't flash roms and loves touchwiz
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philliman:
That's what thought about too. The cases might be terrible as far as protection goes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devynbf:
It looks interesting but I wouldn't pay extra money for some beta feature that I'm never gonna use.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chodaboy19:
Doesn't the screen just run @ 2560x1600 if the ROM doesn't support the "Edge" part of the LCD in the way Sammy is using it? Or is the 160 pixel area physically separate?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
Nope. I played with in BB and it was more distraction than usefulness. 80% of the time my phone is in my pocket and I don't need additional screen. Most importantly for me that Edge is not compatible with VR Gear.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
I have had the Note 4 since launch day and I think I'm going to JUMP to the Note Edge next week (I'm on JUMP 1.0 and I already checked, it pays off the $718 I have still owe on the Note 4)

I like the idea of the Edge. The extra $100 isn't a big deal to me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philliman:
They told my wife she had to wait til April and she's on the original jump 1
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erazo1986:
Note 4 to the note 4 edge seems like a waste of time and money, If you already have a note 4 it makes no sense to jump for the edge. The is a niche device at best and I honestly don't see how samsung thought it was a good idea.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darekz:
There are some posts in international section from people who use it for a while and they say that is very easy to chip "sharp" edge of a phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bipoler:
I'll keep my metal. Thanks
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistedumbrella:
If that's really how you feel, you should buy a Gear Fit for $129 so you get to see the screen a little more often before it gets dinged up and you realize you just paid $100 to

lose hardware options

lose developer support

have an extra 1/8 inch of screen space (without enabling immersive mode) that can only be used to tell you about your most recent spam email or text that you have to open on the main screen

allows you to see your notifications better when the phone is on the table but accidentally hit them every time you go to hold the phone in your hand.

It's a neat gimmick, but not intended for serious users. It is for the user whom "doesn't flash roms and loves touchwiz" as something to show off, not work on.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA Visitor:
Trying to flash 5.0 OTA from 4.4.4 without losing data on Nexus 5.

I don't know how to remove custom recovery so I can sideload the OTA zip in the stock recovery. It keeps loading into TWRP instead.

Can someone explain step by step how I flash the factory recovery.img?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] somerandomatoms:
That's not even possible (as far as I know)...

Removing a custom recovery while preserving data is not possible, you should backup all your data, remove the custom recovery, flash 5.0 and then restore your custom recovery.

Are you using the Nexus Root Toolkit? It's incredibly easy and I use it for almost all my flashing, rooting, etc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dahawthorne:
You can't apply an OTA on a rooted phone. On Kitkat and before you could end up in a boot loop. After Lollipop the OTA changed to system-level verification, and any change to the ROM stopped the OTA - all you get is a reboot to an unchanged system.

In any case, major ROM jumps usually work best with a total wipe and clean install of the new ROM. somerandomatoms is right - back up and install the new ROM. But why go to 5? You may as well go straight to 6.0.1.
[General Accessories] vectron:
For those who follow hundreds of my reviews in this community (just check a link in my signature), you probably going to be surprised I made a post without my usual "Review..." prefix. I was in a process of reviewing various Otterbox cases for Galaxy phones, and was made aware of their tempered glass product I never heard of before. At the current moment I already have tempered glass installed on our S5 and would rather keep it as is. Therefore, this is more of an acknowledgement of the product with a close up pictures without an actual installation. I'm more than confident installation is going to be a breeze since S5 screen is perfectly flat, unlike headaches we are having over at Note 4 section lol!!!

Here is a link Otterbox Alpha Glass: http://www.otterbox.com/Alpha-Glass...ung-Galaxy-S5/sam38-galaxy-s5,default,pd.html

Otterbox is well known for their Commuter and Defender cases, which I'm sure doesn't need any introduction since every carrier has it in their store as well as Best Buy. Commuter, their lighter everyday protection case, comes with a bonus film protector already while Defender, their heavy duty case, has film protector built into the case. It's a good scratch protection, but it will not save your display from a direct impact that could easily shatter the glass. That's how tempered glass protectors became so popular, adding another thin layer of glass on top of your display. From it's product description, Alpha Glass has all the typical features of anti-shatter and anti-scratch, 9H hardness, crystal clear visibility, and touch capacity like the original display. This glass actually comes in 4 different models, 2 crystal clear and 2 privacy dimmed which obviously going to reduce clarity while giving you more protection from people looking over your shoulder or sitting next to you on the train or a bus. Each one has a variation of a generic Standalone cut for any case or Otterbox Compatible cut to accommodate Otterbox cases. The model I got was Standalone Clear.

In the box you get a tempered glass protector (that yellow film is a protective removable layer), an alcohol wipe, a cleaning wipe cloth, and step-by-step install instructions. Also, if you visit their page from the link above, they have a detailed installation video. I didn't install it, but put it on top of the S5 to confirm a precise cut fitment. Another thing to keep in mind, Otterbox offers LifeTime replacement warranty on this protector, and these guys typically stand behind their warranty where I know if you break the case you just have to create RMA ticket with a picture of the problem and they send you a replacement. I'm sure the same with a tempered glass or in case if you mess it up during installation. Typically, tempered glass install is a lot easier than film, just make sure your hands are washed with soap, display is clean, and you install it in a dust free environment.

If anybody has Alpha Glass installed already, please chime in with your reply or pictures for others to benefit from.

Here are the pictures of the product in and out of the box.

Looks good! I may wanna try it I've gone thru 9 ZAGG Glass ones seems to break easy.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thehirsches:
I am looking to convert my old Bionic into a wifi only mini tablet (Ipod touch concept) for my daughter.

My question is what would be the best ROM to use for this?

The biggest concern is battery life. I have an extended battery but want to find something that is really efficient. I don't mind under-clocking as this will be a web surfer and texting, while on WIFI, machine for the most part.

I'd appreciate any input on this.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ColtonDRG:
My Droid Bionic is running CyanogenMod, I like it for the most part despite the fact that it's not very efficient. The thing about the Bionic is it's simply not a very efficient device. No matter what ROM you end up using, it's gonna drain the battery pretty quick. I do not have the extended battery, so I'm not sure how much it effects things. My phone lasts 4-6 hours on a full charge with light-moderate use and about 12 hours if it's completely idle. Once again, I do not have the extended battery, so you will get a lot more. If I was you I would just soak test each of the following ROMs and see what works best for you.

Paranoid Android

CyanogenMod 11

AOKP

You will also need SafeStrap Recovery in order to install these.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ShadyDreamer:
On a new-ish standard battery, I'm getting good battery life with SlimKat 8.0. On the later ones something is keeping it awake about 60% of the time for me (some kind of kernel wakelock listed as rx_wake in BetterBatteryStats). I don't know if something changed in SlimKat or if there's something wrong with ax562's builds (something kernel-related?).

I tested it at idle in airplane mode (not sure if wifi was off or if I turned it on) and it lasted nearly 5 days. By the way, I noticed that if you reboot with airplane mode on but wifi still enabled, it remembers and puts it in airplane mode with wifi enabled - no third-party app necessary. A rom with this feature would be great for using it as a wifi-only device.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
Once you install SafeStrap you can test as many as you want risk free. I have tried a couple and have found in this order : Cyanogenmod > Liquid Smooth > Eclipse > Stock

Cyanogenmod is by far the most updated and will soon receive Lollipop. My vote goes to CM

AOKP is abandoned

Paranoid Android could be abandoned at any time since it is considered Legacy on their site.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PCJXM:
I use nothing but the latest CyanogenMod snapshot. My Bionic is WiFi only. I'd also suggest lowering the pixel density from 240 to 220 to give more of a mini-tab feel.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
Directed towards op (if you are not sure how)

Best way to do this is with xposed (rather than modifying buildprop). You won't break anything that way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PCJXM:
I use ROM Toolbox to do it. You're not breaking anything if you only change that one value by the way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SyCoREAPER:
If you change the DPI globally you risk breaking things like the Play Store and possibly other apps. Not to mention the app costs $6 and is virtually useless since you can do 98% of the things listed for free, including the DPI available via xposed for free.

**edit** even worse, it's $6 after being on sale for 50%. Talk about a rip-off.
[XDA Assist] Quicksilver7714:
Hello, I have been a member of XDA for many years. I havent posted much as I also participate on other smaller dedicated forums.

I have a few gripes and complaints/questions about the new member limitations.

First, why am I limited to a Five minute post window and how long does this limitation last? I have met the 10 post quota but I'm still limited to a 5 minute post window.

It is a pain in the ass to post a legitimate response when you can only respond once every five minutes. I understand that this is applied in an effort to cut down on spam but as a long term member I never would have thought that I would be subjugated to such limitations.

Also why does the forum software think an edited post is a new post. Why must I wait to edit my post? That is absurd.

Second, I can't seem to send PM's to certain members. I tried to PM a member about creating a watch face earlier and my PM would not send. I dont know if there is any limitations still on my account but I find it problematic that I can't send a simple PM. And i apparently cant send PMs to the forum staff either.

I am not in any way new to the forum verse. I am a contributing member to Droidforums.net for many years

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xf59:
Ok so my motherboard is currently fried and I'm not going to be able to buy a new mobo and install ut myself for a while. So Im running stock rooted 4.4.4 on my nexus 5 with elementalx n5 kernel and clockwork recovery touch. Are there any lollipop rooted roms i can flash without using fastboot or anything that requires a pc seeing how mine is out of commission? I would use adb and fastboot and all that if i could but i cant. Also, does lollipop require a new bootloader? If so are there any that are flashable without fastboot? Ive searched but i cant find what im looking for. I need flashable from cwm without pc.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you can flash any of the aosp builds, flash a kernel, and flash supersu, like any other rom. you dont need a computer for that. look in the n5 android development threads.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xf59:
Im kind of weird i guess? Also, im guessing it's kind of early, but i'm looking for the stock image itself prerooted and busybox and deodexed. I know these will come with time but im just wondering if any are released as opposed to aosp. Also, whats the difference between lrx21o and lrx21m?

Edit: never mind I found the change log for the differences.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
wont come. lollipop needs a kernel that allows root, if you want root. the default lollipop kernel does not allow root. if you want stock, you can flash a zipped stock rom(in the n5 android development section there is 2). if you want root, youll need to flash a lollipop kernel that allows root plus the latest supersu.

[HTC Desire S] Black_Hawk66997:
Hey there,

So, HTC Desire S, running a stock ROM (O2 i believe). Worked fine for ages until the charging port was broken. So replaced it then i broke the connection on the main motherboard. So bought a new motherboard, new screen to accompany that board and a new charging port. Only original parts are the battery and casing. The battery does not charge but will boot with a charged battery?

Any thoughts on what could be my problem?

Cheers,

Adam
[HTC Desire S] Saf98:
Might be your charger?
[HTC Desire S] heavy_metal_man:
Or it could be that your usb cable is damaged. what I dont get is that you say you got a new MB should have came with a new working charging port with no need to fit another one. Are you sure that your connections were sound? :)
[HTC Desire S] Black_Hawk66997:
Fixed

Cheers for the replies but the battery was a dud, i tried another battery from another HTC and it charged!

I was shocked when the new Motherboard didn't come with a new charging port but oh well sorted now.

Cheers,

Adam

Hi all,

I've been using f2fs for a few months now. Was very happy with the performance (could be a placebo ). But I've noticed that f2fs hardly gets attention anymore;kernels have or look to abandon support for it. Converting roms to f2fs is so tedious too.

Has anyone gone back to ext4 from f2fs and was there any noticeable performance hit?

I came back to ext4 from allF2FS to test something that i thought it was caused by f2fs file system...eventualy the problem is still here and it's because of camera...anyway i feel the speed almost the same with ext4 and i don't have to search compatible kernels and convert any rom...easier life :D
