I usually only see this after a new install. I assume that it is covering all the setup processes of a first time run. Try charging back to 100% then keeping track. With moderate use, I drain about 3% per hour. This is on par or better than with the stock ROM for me. YMMV

Just curious, are you making your "TWRP compatible" nandroid backups from within the teamwin recovery or something else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] galaxyhero:
It was like that first. I dirty flashed the 1/7 ROM and at 45% battery left and after I fully charged the phone it doesnt show high usage anymore

Some Issues with GPS and incoming calls

Hi everyone!

I'm beginner on this stuff. I install the ROM but GPS and Incoming calls not working. Also, the SMS but really I don't use that.

I have a SPH-L720 with GSM unlock, cause I'm Argentina right now.

Can you help me with that?

Thanks a lot!

Your job is really amazing, by the way.

Can not install through TWRP - can someone help?

I have flashed a few roms on this phone with no problem using TWRP and CWM. I have tried both methods with this rom but get an error in TWRP that says it can not install due to a device name error. Can anyone enlighten me on how to resolve?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nivron:
If it fails due to an invalid device error, that is normally caused by formatting /system. You can restore a nandroid or flash another ROM that doesn't verify the device. Another option would be to ODIN a stock ROM. You'll find that most AOSP ROMs will have the same issue.

Calls issues! Please HELP! CM12- SPH-L720

Hi everyone!

I have a SPH-L720 and I'm using it with GSM network (no Sprint), because I'm outside of USA. I can use the phone with CM11 without issues. But when I try to install CM12 any version, I can't receive calls.

I read any post o thread, but anyone has this issues with calls.

Hi friend. I'm not sure if it relates to a translation issue but I am not sure what you are asking. So you have an issue with the ROM? If so, can you be exact in explaining what the problem is? The multi-SIM issues and GSM problems are fairly common in CM at this time and I may not be able to correct them.

Thank you so much!

I've been using this phone since exactly the day before the S5 came out, and had never been able to use WiFi hotspot. All I did was install it and pdanet, and it worked the first time.

I haven't figured out yet how to get everything to work (contacts, gmail accout), but that's just probably because I've never used lollipop before.

Everything works great and the camera is amazing.

Hi,

Could you guy's please help me out: I want to buy a preowned ("used" or "second hand") Universal.

If I was to have 10 minutes to test if the device is working without faults, what should I look after?

I figured that I should test:

- Reset: check the screen and any possible error messages

- See if strange effects appear on the screen, when rotating it

- Check the keyboard and other keys

- Check Bluetooth connectivity

- Check WLAN connectivity

- Check the phone with my SIM-card

Anything else worth checking?

I already have a Blue Angel and I like it so much (actually I depend on it, as I found out when I had to send it in two weeks for reapir), that I figured another phone as a backup would be nice - so why not move to the Universal for it's VGA-screen and faster processor.

My last question would be: is it really that much better? Or will it rather be annoying to have an even bigger phone, than the BA?

Thanks for your time and patience!

Best regards,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kelford:
That seems like a pretty good list. I'd probably want to add testing an SD card with it as well. The main thing I'd probably focus on would be the physical aspects of it because from a software point of view you can always hard reset the device and start fresh. (And honestly that's what I'd probably do first thing if I bought one second hand.)

I really can't speak to a comparison with the Blue Angel since I've only had the Universal. I've never had an issue with the size of the Uni as a phone, but I'm not a heavy phone user as far as talking goes (though I often have the data connection on.) Plus I have a bluetooth headset that I use most of the time for calls anyway.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xda_kerby:
hi mate i myself went from the xda 2s (same as you) to the universal. it is an amazing phone! i just cant fault it (obviously the size but when wearing a suit its alright because it can just go in your jacket.)

i am actully selling my xda exec. if you live near me i will be happy to let you play around with it before you buy. it is in great condition as it was a warrenty replacement device after the last one was playing up. havent used it for a while as i have an mda vario 2 now. since it is a better size for when you are down the pub..

ill probly sell the phone for around 240 or ono. comes with a spare battery as well

most important from HW view is 2 check miniUSB connector, it loves to disconect from motherboard. if it will B possible try to connect it 2 computer, at least for few secs. if new HW appears in comp probable that its not dammaged, if U wonthave access 2 comp try 2 charge it (red led should be on)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] d_ranade:
If possible try to put one in bootloader mode and see the bootloader version. If it is 1 or below avoid. If you get ver 2.00 or above you can be assured of the latest hardware.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apd:
I agree. The G4 (which has the bootloader of 2 and above) also feels more solidly built and has a slightly better keyboard.

As well as the USB connector, also check that the phone accepts and recognises SD cards, check the infra red and check the screen carefully for scratches (you will need to hold it at different angles to a good light).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Not necessarilly true. My friend's G4 is now dead and a paper weight in just 4 month's, both bought brand new, as opposed to my 1 year and 4 month old G3. I still have bootloader version 1.00 and never had been stuck in any screen while upgrading. All the ROMs I flashed worked, and I've flashed my G3 a lot.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Hi guy's,

Thanks for you replies so far. To sum it up:

- Reset: check the screen and any possible error messages

- See if strange effects appear on the screen, when rotating it

- Check the keyboard and other keys

- Check Bluetooth connectivity

- Check WLAN connectivity

- Check the phone with my SIM-card

- Check the MiniUSB Connector with a PC (new device message should appear) and with a charger (red light should turn on)

- If possible: enter Boot-Menu and check Bootloader release. If >1 then it's a G4 model, which is newer, better, more robust

This could probably help as a general aide for other's as well.

Last questions:

1) Is a G3 model really that bad? What if I had one in mint condition in my hands? Should I NOT buy it?

2) Will entering in Bootloader-Mode cause a Hardreset afterwards? Would not be nice to wipe other people's memory off the phone and then NOT buying the phone...

@xda_kerby: I live in Portugal - sorry!

Cheers,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Yes, that is a good guide line.

To answer your questions:

- Having a G3 is not bad, as I stated from my above post. Think of it this way, if you want the latest computer chip, look for the G4, thus ensuring yourself of whatever reason they were replaced was fixed in your device. They all depend on how rough you use your device.

- No, entering a bootloader mode would not cause a hard reset. You might be referring to a setup screen where you either choose or press "0" if you want to hard reset or press "X" if you want to soft reset. They are different.

- Well, the seller should be responsible enough to know that it is his or her own duty to wipe it of by himself or herself before selling it. For what it's worth, he or she should be thanking you for doing it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Midget_1990:
G4's perform much better with wm6 (I have both), so if you are thinking of upgrading to it then i would go for one :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vma:
Sorry, if I am pushing my luck with another dumb question...

Suppose I wanted to buy one from eBay. I doubt that any seller would go through the trouble to tell me the Bootloader revision.

Is there a way to assume which Bootloader the device SHOULD have, from the purchase date, i.e. if purchased after MM.YYYY, it probably won't be Loader <v2?

Also, I have seen many sellers trying to sell a MDA PRO which has recently been replaced by T-Mobile. I imagine they had a broken one (i.e. G3 model, from what I understand) and it has been replaced by a new one (they don't write anything about refurbished). Would that be automatically one with Loader >v2?

Will the unlocking described in the Wiki work with G3 and G4?

Again, I thank you guy's for your time!

Cheers,

vma
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SpyderTracks:
In my experience with O2 UK, they recondition handset's and unless you ask specifically for a brand new handset, you'll receive a reconditioned G3 model.... I had a battle with them for a couple of months over this lol Broke them in the end ;) Every handset they tried to give me as replacement was a G3.

Because of this, I think it may be hard to rely on purchase date being equivalent to model number from O2.

Just wanted to know if anyone else noticed faint buzzing/scratching/hissing noises coming out of their headphone jack...

(and yes I have tested several headphones/earbuds and tested with my MDRv6's all with the same results. Its definitely the phone not the headphones)

When I insert my headphones there is a quick beeping sound that plays for a second or so then goes quiet.

When music is playing, especially soft music (a particular song was Instant Crush; Daft Punk) there is a hiss in the background, specifically when certain tones play.

It was terribly noticeable right at the beginning of a few songs, especially the one I listed above.

I also have button sound effects enabled. So When I press one of the soft UI buttons it makes a tick noise. However for about 5 seconds after the tick there is a long hiss then silence until I press another button.

The volume of the hissing/scratching noises is directly related to the actual volume of the device and the note playing.

Im on stock build 11c w/root, and I havent found a lot of info about this problem.

Just wondering if anyone has noticed this, or if this is a known issue?
[Verizon LG G3] pitbull8265:
If your phone is warranteed, I would bring it in

The G3 boasts an AMPLIFIED 1 watt sound speaker, which means there is a powered sound processor.. Unless the jack needs to be cleaned, I would lean toward thinking there is a defect in your phones jack, or sound assembly. I think its more than likely a defective jack, especially if there are no sounds like you are describing when headphones are not in use

Just got my G3 a week ago and didnt use headphones until I read your post, I tested many different songs with different players, stock player, google player, Iheart radio, pandora, etc, headphone sound is crystal clear on mine, I dont get any beeps either like you described, I did notice you need to make sure the jack is pushed in good and tight, I put it in and thought it was all the way in and sound was crappy, pushed a bit harder and it clicked in good and sound was great, do you have a case that may be preventing the jack from being pushed in all the way, I had a phone in the past that this happened to me with, had to cut away some rubber on the jack to make it fit snug, if none of those are the issue, I would look into a warranty claim. I am using the beats audio earbuds that came with my HTC M7 I had before this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
That could be the issue. I know on the 2012 Nexus 7, it's really bad. It's supposedly due to the microUSB port and the headphone jack sharing the same circuit, or some engineering thing like.

Wonder if it's the same or if they didn't shield the headphone jack very well and it's picking up interference from the microUSB port when charging?
