[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Radixtrator:
Hi xda,

so I killed my EFS Partition on my last Moto X and had to send it in. That cost me 100€ but I got a new phone, with a locked bootloader. I confirmed this with 2 Motorola Chat Supports, but if you unlock your bootloader, they wont honor their warranty, even if its a hardware problem that was there from the beginning. So I'm kind of scared to unlock the bootloader again, but I really want root. Is there any way to root without unlocking? Thanks in advance :)

I have given some flashes to my device like one flashed whole new KitKat, twice flashed custom roms and restored to nandroid backup three times.. Do flashing ROMs and custom ROMs can affect my device's battery?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xKroniK13x:
No, but different ROMs of course can have different battery lifespans.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbreezy187:
Its always good habit to wipe battery stats in between flashing Roms.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livecouk:
Hmm. Means clear data and dalvik cache or/and factory restore?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbreezy187:
It may do it in the process of all that but I use Android app name: BatteryCalibration

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Mario:
And, if it doesn't help, do this: charge the phone to 100%, unplug the phone and turn it off, charge it for one hour, unplug and turn it on for 2 - 5 minutes. Turn it off and charge it again for one hour, and after that, use it as normally. It's to recalibrate the battery management inside the bootloader. I did this to my RAZR M yesterday, and it has fixed the weird battery drains (which is almost nonexistent).

Just a suggestion.

[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyingit:
So I got my Z3C yesterday through EE - set everything up, and after Gmail updated itself, I was on 5.0, and went to add my work account to it - no exchange services present, so I went and got the exchange services apk from apkmirror.

I installed the latest one (from November 13th) added my account, and it didn't pull down my email.

I then remembered that on my Note 2, I had to use the older exchange services (from November 2nd), so I uninstalled the one from the 13th, and installed the one from the 2nd - now I can't get the email to sync, and I see no way of removing my work email from gmail (the option isn't within gmail, or the account settings within gmail - gmail takes me to the accounts section in settings, and there is no corporate account to remove).

Any way to fix this without resetting the phone?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lyingit:
Solved this myself today - I rolled Gmail back to the factory version, then disabled the exchange services that was pre-installed on the phone.

installed the gmail upgrade, then the November 1st version of Exchange Services, and finally the November 13th over it.

restarted the phone, and then had the option to add an exchange account to my gmail under settings - accounts
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xentar712:
Worked for my Z1 compact too, thanks! All I did was delete the existing email app and exchange services and then installed the latest exchange services from apkmirror. Reboot and it was there.

My 2i's charging connector broke. Sent it back to O2's repair centre and they specifically said that the mainboard has to be changed. Anybody here know of any thrifty way to get hold of a mainboard or a something similar? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] Neo-morpheus:
fixed same problem my self

Hi ,

I received a similar device from a collegue.

His charging connector was completely severed from his mainbord.

I opened the device and solderd it back on my self. Device is working again.

If you have te same problem maybe it's cheaper to find someone who can do this for you then looking for a replacement mailboard.

I have to say I had to try it 2 time because the connections where really tiny.

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i Software Upgrading] kt752:

You're right, it's very small, plus I have fat fingers. Well, maybe I should get someone to do it for me. I was hoping for a short cut solution and not too expensive one as well. I might try that after the holidays..
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi there, just received my Z3 Compact from Vodafone. Not only have they sent me the wrong colour (I wanted Orange, but got black) They also lied to me about there not being any carrier bloat. I have disabled all but one of their apps, but the last one keeps giving notifications. Any help would be appreciated. :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asnanon:
You could flash one of the FW without any bloat.

You won't need to unlock your bootloader or root the phone for that. Just check the firmware thread that is stickied.

On a side note I would send back the phone immediately, if they would go as far as sending me a phone with the wrong colour.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] istrikerx:
I only say possible, as it doesn't work completely with the note 4.

Basically, someone who goes by 'aaah' on the OnePlus forums made an excellent app that let's you add a gradient anywhere on the screen that can even out any tinting etc. It worked very well, but obviously doesn't make up for the loss of brightness as OPO uses LCD screens

With our note 4s however, there is no brightness shift, so we can compensate with a different colour where it changes.

Unfortunately the app, at least on my exynos note 4, doesn't allow you to properly change transparency when a gradient is applied. It works fine for a solid block, but that isn't ideal as the pink patches aren't solid but instead fade gradually. Hence why a gradient would be great for it.

If any android wiz kids out there could possibly patch the apk so that the transparency settings work then it would certainly help lessen the degree at which the colour shifts are noticeable.

For mine, its mainly the bottom right where the pink patch is more prominent. So I will always have a left to right shift around the keyboard area no matter what, but it would at least reduce the top to bottom shift.

[LG G2 Mini] khrystoff:
Hi. I recently posted on this forum coz I always only had 120 free MBs and my smartlhome started to go pretty slow without any reason. When I was typing on whatsapp it suddenly closed, I couldn't send any instant camera pictures because camera suddenly closes too, etc...

So I decided to root my phone and uncheck the 2 options of MLT Test (Enable option and USB depurate option) and seems like I get more free mbs but now the RAM it started to get short again, Im still gettin 150mbs again and thats annoying....

There is any solution ti fix this? Im using Clean Master too.

Greetings.

Ps. I got an app of my Phone Company and I dobt know how to unibstall it, it is desactivated but I couldnt find thr way to erase it, I've tried many explorers but didn't show up.
[LG G2 Mini] steffenbakke:
Disable mlt is always a good way of gaining a little more ram, also the longer you have your phone running, the more it'll start lagging. So restart it for at least every time you charge it again. Also a bit more than that. Clearing caches isn't always the right solution, due to the fact that your phone has to load everything again, and it is sometimes quicker if you already have the apps cache there as the app will start quicker. If you have a lot of your apps running in the background, messenger, Facebook etc which are quite heavy when it comes to taking up ram, either delete them, or find apps which automatically close certain apps you choose yourself, and remove them from starting on boot.
[LG G2 Mini] khrystoff:
Woah, thank you mate. I always close apps like FB or TW after using them so Im not running apps in the background. I will follow your advices...

Now I got one more question.

I'm gettin 43º (thats what Clean Master says) when I'm using whatsapp but CM saysa that's ok...

Is that really OK or should I worry?

Greetings
[LG G2 Mini] steffenbakke:
Completely forgot to mention, if you go into developer settings, then there should be a ProcessStatics or something, it's also called geeky stats, in there it tells how the memory status is, which is the thing managing ram and so on, you can click on every app and see how much it uses and so on, its quite handy. And I'm not sure about the temperature, it doesn't sound alarming so it should be fine

[AT&T LG G3] sic0048:
Are you trying to right to an SD card by chance? Have you fixed the SD card permission issue that was built into Kitkat? That might be your problem, especially if you fixed it in one ROM, but then flashed another ROM that doesn't have the fix applied.

Hboot 2.16

supercid

[HTC One S] Flippy498:
Did you run the ruu while your phone was in fastboot mode? Otherwise the downgrade won't work.

Edit: As you already said, it doesn't matter which ruu you take since your phone is S-OFF. If you try to run an ICS ruu be sure not to install OTAs if you're on superCID or you're going to brick your phone.
