Ooh! I like that Verizon car adapter. That LED at the connector would really come in handy! Thanks, [MENTION=2786481]indianajonze[/MENTION]!

You can also use an AC meter such as Kill a Watt

http://www.p3international.com/products/p4400.html

Which might be more useful to have around the house. You should see the charger drawing about 5W for standard 1A USB charger, 10W for 2A and up to 14-15W for turbo. The battery widgets others have mentioned work great too.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stbxxl:
Looking at the input power is not a reliable indicator whether or not a given charger and phone combination have agreed to use Quick Charge 2.0. The easiest way is to monitor the charger output voltage.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmuka:
I believe the charge rate is non-linear, so it charges at a faster rate the more empty the battery is. That would explain why your math doesn't match the phones time until fully charged estimate.

I'm keeping my eye out for a good affordable quick charge 2.0 car charger too...

Edit: I agree it would be nice if the lock screen indicated charging type.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregoryx:
I've been searching for this as well. Anyone find anything to indicate? I've used GSam and Battery Monitor Widget and I see much higher charge number (> 2000mA rate) as the charging value when using the original Nexus charger; and I think I'm seeing more like 900mA with standard "high output" chargers. But both apps are giving a moving average over some variable period of time, so it's hard to know exactly what the actual current input / charge rate is. I can certainly say that if I have a 25% battery and I use the quick-charger, it's charged to 95% REALLY FAST.

I've purchased two quick-charge units that I'm trying to confirm working: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UBK9M08/ for the wall and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R18XTCA/ for the car.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevexyz0:
If you go to Battery Monitor Widget's "Status" tab the (dis)charge rate there is pretty much the instantaneous rate... It's coming from the current flow hardware sensor. Make sure you set the "mA retrieval method" to Nexus One. I've seen at least 2600mA with the stock charger and a low (25%) battery IIRC.

Note the sensor does not give accurate results while the device is asleep. According to the BMW author this is due to Google bugs.

I updated to 5.0 last night and I am running stock not rooted. I'm currently on a wifi network with cell service. I have been using google voice for SMS and this scenario. Before the upgrade I would get SMS messages through GV over WIFI no problem. After the update to 5.0 i need to go into Hangouts wait about 20 to 30 seconds and new messages will come in. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm looking to make it so messages come in automatically without user intervention.

Edit: Just going into Hangouts isn't enough. I actually need to go into the SMS thread after which any new SMS messages will appear

Hi, I need some help here:

I have tried extracting tapres.dll from several WM6 releases.

However, they never seem to be correctly rebuild after dumping the ROMs.

Does anyone know a way to get hold of a Working tapres.dll (from WM6 !!!) ?

I have tried dumping rom's with itsme tools (viewimgfsf, rebuild module etc..), but the resources from the file are VERY strange..

I need this file because I am writing a new program to build dailerskins, But I want to resize the dailerbuttons.

Solved:

Raceit pointed me to the resource file:

tapres.dll.0409.mui

This one needs to be edited!!

Am working on it.

Thanks Raceit !!!

The problem now is in how to make WM6 to use the new tapres2.dll (and MUI file)

edit

Had to write a new dll, but succeeded:

I got this with viewimgfs.exe as well so I'm not sure it will be of any help to you. This is from the Orwells ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
Thanks, too bad I got the same results:

There are no dialogs to be edited..

So it's not (yet) possible to have a big button dailer.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mrvanx:
I understand this is about the dialer, but for some reason my WM6 dialer wokrs fine, i can change the background and button graphics, however when i am prompted to enter my SIM pin code the number pad has the nasty white background and pink buttons etc... (as if there is no skin).

What .dll controls the dialpad and sim pin pad?! Could i be missing some graphics files?!?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
Been a while since I messed with sim-pin pad..

Out of memory I believe that:

The background is created by cmdpad_land.gif cmdpad_port.gif (and square, but this is not used on wizard).

And the buttons are the NmBtnDn_Land.bmp and other nmbtb**etc** bmps.

[ for convenience I attached those ]
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mrvanx:
thanks sir, i added the graphics to the \windows folder but still no joy (im running on the hermes btw). could my .dll that refers to it have been corrupted?!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Raceit:
It sounds like an image problem. I'd uninstall any dialer skin you have running to get the default stuff back if you can. If that doesn't work try this. It's the same as the-equinoxe posted, but there are a few more files. (No offense the-equinoxe) Just trying to help. This should get all the dialer buttons and images back to normal.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mrvanx:
LOL! i REALLY appreciate the help people but still no luck! :s could i have corrupted a .dll or registry value when the ROM was cooked?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
None taken ;)

I only posted the pin-pad images (out of memory, didn't find my notes), and left the dailerpad images out.

Could be, what changes have you performed while cooking the ROM?

Did you edit the grafics for the dailerpad while cooking of afterwards?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] SpH1nX:
I've got same problem. I think that's a sort of TMobile skin and not a file missing problem.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mrvanx:
The file you refer to is the smart dialer, and installing it without a skin gives the same result as my sim-pin pad has. but LOL yer it does look like a T-mobile skin. Just install a skin and it will work ok.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mrvanx:
Well the first ROM worked fine, the black WM6 dialer and pin-pad looked the same, by copying the files from this post into the windows folder the colours and graphics for both the dialer and pin-pad were changed?!? (as desired)

But after the ROM change the pin-pad is white with no buttons. adding the files again to windows only changes the dialer. :s

AFAIK nothing has been done to the dialer skin, however it may have been changed by accident!? Which is why Im wondering which .dlls and reg values effect these?!

Could you explain how to fix that skinning problem?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] the-equinoxe:
I am testing/working on it @ this moment..

All looks promissing ;) but please be patient, don't want to rush out a release.

Only difference with the eten/paulyA skins is you edit another file, some regkeys are differrent, and the smartdail is build into the same resource.

Will build a test-skin (based on the Eten-grey Light I build for WM5), and do some test.

I will also build my findings in the WM6 dailerskin-builder program I am working on.

This one is still in the early development fase, and not all screens have been skinned.

Status:

-editing NEW resource Had to write my own dll, Done

-Dailer portrait Done

-Dailer landscape Done

-Call in progress portrait In progress

-Call in progress landscape In progress

-Button templates In progress

This program will be WM6 WWE QVGA only, but I will probably add some other languages once those are released.

Attached:

-a screenshot from the skinbuilder (although I am thinking to change the layout, because the troubles I have with switching to landscape and control-placement)..

Clicking on the screen will let you select the background picture

You can choose the buttonset (here used "test" ;) ) with the dropdown menu.

You can change the transparancy of the buttonset with the slider.

And build a cab by clicking a button..

Still having troubles applying the new tapres.dll

Replacing the XIP based tapres.dll crashes the dailer..

Then I tried to use the tapres.dll (plus MUI) as skin

So I renamed the dll and Mui to tapres2

and edited the registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]

"IcoFil"="tapres2.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

"Enabled"=dword:00000001

"ext"="tapres2.dll"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone]

"RESDLL"="tapres2.dll"

To no avail, still the old tapres.dll takes over :(

What am I missing??

OK I had to build a new dll.

Started from scratch, but now I have Big Buttons and Smartdailing Working :)

[Samsung Gear S] hughedee74:
to get smart relay activated properly you must first turn on the mobile data connection on your phone then the mobile data connection on your watch. if the gear s has auto mobile data defaulted, in 60 seconds you will not have to activate it manually.

This method is to get the calls forwarded. Again, to establish the remote connection both phone and watch mobile data connections must be established independently. If youre connected to wifi the remote connection will not work.

Once call forwarding or remote connection has been established it is not necessary to keep the mobile data connections on either the phone or watch. The remote setup has been worked out through your cellular provider and there isn't a need to keep data on if you don't need them.

This must be done every time to get it working. I'm using both a tmobile bought gear S and note 4. It all works brilliantly.

you should download stock kernel, maybe the one from matej. and flash back to stock kernel after using the cwm as xperia j JB has no permanent cwm yet
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] birdman:
first I want you to go through this guide :Using Flashtool,

then 2. install the drivers for your xperia j as mentioned in the above guide.

3. if your bootloader is unlocked then try to flash this stock kernel if you were running jelly bean 11.2.A.0.31 : stock kernel by connecting your device in fastboot mode.

if your bootloader is locked then download this stock firmware : 11.2.A.0.31 by connecting your device in flashmode

then Flash this downloaded firmware as mentioned in the above guide.

4.Wait untill flashing completes. start your device when you are told to do so.

Good luck

Hi I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S4 for Sprint, but I have an old HTC EVO 4G with WiMax from Sprint that was my brother's old phone. I'd like to use it for awhile and take a break from my Galaxy S4. I created an account at Sprint and used the 'activate my device link'. I typed in the number by the battery in the HTC EVO but I cannot activate it. I could go to the store, but I'd rather not. I prefer to have my own flexibility to toggle between phones. I was wondering:

1. How can I get this activated ?

2. Once it is activated, can I toggle between phones using my Sprint account ?

Thanks.

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] bradwatson:
I know Amazon promised HBO Go by the end of the year, but is anyone else slightly annoyed that it isn't available yet? They advertise Fire TV as the device that is ready to take over as your primary streaming device, but how could that be the case without one of the most content rich streaming providers in existence? I have sideloaded the HBO Go android app and it works, but having to use an air mouse is annoying and the video quality is nowhere close to HD. My guess is the average Fire TV user has no idea how to sideload apps and doesn't have an air mouse. That means they would still have to rely on either a Roku, Apple TV, or Chromecast for HBO Go. I feel like Amazon really dropped the ball on this one by forcing users to rely on another streaming device to handle a large portion of content. For a device to truly thrive it needs to be feature rich and idiot proof. We currently have a Fire TV, 2 Fire TV Sticks, a Chromecast, an Apple TV, and a Roku Stick. If any non-techy person asked me which streaming device they should buy I would tell them Roku Stick because it is inexpensive, has every streaming service available, and is idiot proof. /rant
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] ROADKING17:
Would also be nice if they had Fxnow on it also with live TV sideloading the apps gets it done but it's not the same
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] KLit75:
Agreed it IS annoying! They shouldn't have said by the end of the year if they weren't sure...

As for non-techy people, I still tell them apple tv because although roku is better, I believe comcast still doesn't support HBOGO on roku devices. I have one collecting dust and last checked I couldn't get HBOGO. But my atv has had it for awhile now. Got it hooked up in my living room with a rpi openelec--not super fast but still my most stable, low cost xbmc device.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] spyder3:
Side loading HBOGO does not get it done. It is impossible to navigate with the remote and needs added peripherals to get it to do anything. Amazon needs to come through with this like yesterday.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nowucmenowudont3:
I have a sgh-t399n (samsung galaxy light) running stock rooted/busybox/xposed

I also have a couple lg motions (all are rooted/busybox/xposed) some on stock 4.0.4 and some have cm11

Im a metro pcs user and all are native metro. Phones.

I want to tether. I don't have internet where I am outside of my phone so I wanna activate a phone on the 60dollar unlimited plan and use it as my personal wifi hotspot

I hear its possible to get around the metro restriction at a system level. Something about decompling and recompiling the system framework res apk or something like that and editing a string or two of code.

Anyone know anything about that?

Alternatively....I noticed that even though both of my motions aren't active on a network the metro stock rom motion still prompts me to sign up for the service (to tether) at metro I noticed my motion running cm11 doesn't prompt me to sign up for tethering. It simply connects but obviously it has no data to share since its not active on any networks.

If I activate the motion should it allow me to tether since it didnt give problems when I tried before activating it? Im referring to the one running cm11 not stock

And if not then help bypassing at a system level on would be greatly appreciated.

I figure this is the best place for this.

[General Questions and Answers] s_cuttic:
I've read about the loophole for keeping your unlimited data and I just have a few questions for anyone who has done it very recently on Amazon.

I want to get the galaxy S5 and retire my droid razr maxx and I'm looking at purchasing the phone on Amazon for $49.99. Best Buy has it in store only ($199) so they're not an option and VZW wants $199 for the phone (after a $50 mail-in rebate) plus a $30 upgrade fee. Amazon has it for $49.99

When I select the phone and start the checkout process, I select "keep my current plan" and pick the generic 2GB data plan (only because they make me) but I'm kinda unsure about the next part where it makes me pick one of two messaging options... "Pay per use messaging starting at $0.20 per message and $0.25 per video/picture message for $0" and "1,000 Messages for $10"

If I select the $0 plan, will I still keep my current messaging plan when I switch SIM cards or will it change me to the $0 plan?

Also, there's no option for me to keep my current equipment protection. I can't add any equipment protection either. The only option is "No device protection for $0".

If I select this, will I lose my current equipment protection plan?

The reason I'm asking is because I've read about how sometimes swapping SIM cards puts a "pending activation" on your account and if I get switched to the pay per message plan and no equipment coverage plan, will I be able to switch back to what I have? Or is that all pointless because I'm "keeping my current plan".

I guess I just want to know what all stays on your "plan" when you upgrade but select "I want to keep my existing plan"

Also, when I swap SIM cards, I know I don't power up the S5 until I put my old SIM card from my razr into the S5 but do I have to go online to vzw.com and do anything or is it basically plug and play---swap SIM cards and I'm good to go...nothing else needs to be done?

I'm just trying to get everything right so I don't get stuck on a 2gb plan.

I was chatting with a vzw representative the other day and she said that they're offering 10GB of data for the price of 6GB and 15 for the price of 12GB but $80 for 10GB is too much. I could possibly squeak by with about 5 - 6GB but nothing less.

I'm sure the basics of this have been asked and discussed a lot.. I just haven't seen any threads where people ask or tell you about upgrading thru Amazon and the options they give you.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] XTCrefugee:
Hi all,

First, apologies for posting a thread about something that gets asked an awful lot. However, I've never seen a definitive answer.

Which is the best radio version for phone (GSM/GPRS) signal strength? I'm currently using 1.09, and a while ago tried (IIRC) 1.12 but found it gave me a worse signal. I was wondering if any of the newer radio stacks were better, and, regarding the WM6 ones, whether I would need to do a complete reflash to use them or if I could keep my WM5 rom.

If it makes any difference, I'm on Orange in the UK.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] apd:
Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer - hence the debates. There seems to be very great variability across locations and carriers. I won't refer you to all the threads where people have come up with different results because there are so many!

Sometimes even people on the same carrier seem to get different results (eg I am on U2 in the UK and find 1.14.1 / 1.09 the best whereas others on O2 UK found 1.13 the best). There may also be a difference between G3 and G4 handsets (although I'm not sure if anyone has looked into that in any way).

The answer is probably that you will have to try them and see what happens. IMHO there is usually a trade-off in signal strength, reliability (eg with direct push) etc - for example on 1.14.1 I get the best reception but under 2.01.08 WWE I occasionally had problems with Direct Push (which I don't use very often). I have less reception on 1.09 but more stability with DP.

Hope that helps at least a little!

I think 1.13 is the best
