BAD ASS NOTE 4
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tw1sted247:
I had the same issue when I activated my note 4 with Tmo. Wasn't receiving calls or texts. Called customer service then they ended up creating a tech ticket. Because they couldn't solve it themselves, they told me give them 48hrs. And it'd fixed. After about 13hrs they had it fixed. So give them a call explain your issue DON'T AND NEVER MENTION ROOT. Be persistent don't hang up until you have an answer. And they'll fix it..

Good luck:highfive:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windstrings:
I can't blame them for not wanting to support every newbie that miss flashes or flashes a crappy rom and can't get his dialer or modem to work or some other silly bug.

Like "let me experiment and then let Verizon bail me out with a new phone everytime I can't find my way out of the mess I created"

A simple factory reset should fix all, but some destroy even that ability.

Yes they can reflash but it shouldn't be under warranty.. Should be a fee to bail such folks out... Sorry that's not popular to say but if you owned Verizon, would you do the same?

Buy a car and tear into the engine and screw it up then try to get warranty to fix it!

But I agree, if you own your phone and are willing to sign a disclaimer releasing them from warranty they should remove restrictions.

That still makes them vulnerable to folks messing with the network though.

As long as they can't tie the problem to your mishandling your good.

Perfect example... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57360032

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDM Civic EG8:
That's not true my first note 4 was rooted and it shows that on their end I didn't even bring it up. The lady told me to restore back to oem spec if I wanted to keep my warranty. I did and called back the next day they sent me a new phone.

I'm looking for a NST-compatible task switcher.

The best i could find is this Task Switcher, but apparently the latest version is not listing all the active apps...

EDIT: i've found Smart Task Switcher which seems ok.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
Yeah, Smart Task Switcher seems to be the only task switcher that both looks decent and is compatible with the Nook, so most likely it's the best you're going to get. Thankfully, it is very nice, has plenty of features, and works exactly like it's supposed to - when I used it for a while, I actually uninstalled my ADW Launcher, because I didn't even need a homescreen anymore! :p

All in all, Smart Task Switcher is the best choice IMO. :good:
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] OverByter:
Button Savior does that as well as many other things.

OB
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
Yes, it's a good app - the only problem with it in this sense is that to launch an app from it (by long-pressing Home), you have to have launched the app already from an alternate home launcher, making it not specifically ideal for a good task switcher.

:good:
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] OverByter:
Once you have it installed you can go into the settings and have it start automatically at boot, easily adjust the contrast and opacity plus the location on screen so it's very unobtrusive in day to day usage.

OB
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] NOOK!E:
Yeah, I know - I used Button Savior for about a year, so I know my way around it. I don't have it installed anymore because I can use NTMM to assign everything I used in Button Savior to the physical buttons, eliminating the need for another key set.

But, I digress. In my opinion, all in all, it's a very nice app, but for purely a task switcher, it's not ideal.

I have a LG G2 currently, and an unlimited plan. I will be able to get a new phone- and keep the unlimited data- but I need to have the ability to root the phone so I can enable free wifi tethering. I live in the country and its the only internet I can get- with a Wilson Electronics signal booster, I get 4 bars of 4G, so I can browse the internet or get on netflix etc. I already pay Verizon for their home 4g modem, but we are paying over $280 a month and get 20GB data in all, which doesn't nearly cover the usage at our house.

It wasn't TOO bad to figure out on the G2- but I am looking at the phones available (I'm on verizon btw) and I need to pick one based on if it can be rooted easily and wifi tether. I wonder if you want to give me advice?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redbot77:
I followed the instructions located at http://androidcentral.us/2014/04/how-to-root-sprint-samsung-galaxy-s5-sm-g900p/ , my Galaxy S5 wouldn't boot. It was stuck on a screen which said "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing".

I found a post elsewhere on the xda-developers forums which suggested re-doing the CF Auto Root step and pulling the battery before the phone reboot, which I successfully pulled off but the phone still would not get past the "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" screen.

I was able to restore my phone to a usable state using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2734322&page=7 and a utility for converting .img files to files suitable for Odin to upload to the phone. However, I'd still like to get the phone rooted.

Can anyone help? Would perhaps loading a standard KitKat kernel first be what's needed? I haven't done any modifications to the phone before this, but I realize that Sprint may have, and I'm wondering if that's what's throwing the process off.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonleb1:
I was super busy today so I barely looked at my phone so I was expecting my battery life to be in the high 80s but when I looked at it, it was at 31%... with only 28 minutes of screen on time...

By percentage the biggest drainers are Google+ (13%) - which I do not even use... -, Standby (10%) and Screen (6%).

I'm rooted on Pure Shamu with Elemental Kernel (for RGB control, no other mods with the kernel), if that matters. I can't think of anything I've enabled that would kill the battery so hard.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
Sounds like a wakelock in either the ROM or kernel to me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaphora68:
I'm having a similar issue with Lean Kernel.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonleb1:
Yeah, Google+ had almost 9 hours of wake time and 2 hours of CPU time. I have no idea why, I don't even use Google+ and I have location services and photo backups disabled.

I've completely deleted the Google+ profile though and I've disabled account syncing for everything other than Gmail. I'll see if that makes any change tomorrow.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skripka:
Yup. Wakelock.

Fwiw G+ plays fine on my device and doesn't nuke the battery
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlaigle:
Delete Google+ , I've had the same issue on a note 4 aswell.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradputt:
if you're not using G+ why not disabled it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalegg:
How do you disable it, it is not listed as an app.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Or uninstall the app. No point in having the app installed but disabling it, it'll take more space.

This is why I prefer minimal gapps, Google includes so much bloat ware.

I also recommend using app ops to deny access for keep awake on play services. It'll help with standby battery significantly.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
i found this foe google play services last night, so i disabled iys background data use. i dont remember being allowed to do that for google play services. which i also assume will keep it from waking the device when its sleeping(since data is not allowed).

anyways, to the op, do you have photos uploading to the cloud? if so, disable that service, thats what uses the g+ app when you dont use it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonleb1:
No I had photo uploading disabled. But I disabled Google+ all together before I plugged it in for the night and I'm having much better results. I've only had about 9% of battery drain with mostly standby and some light browsing before I got out of bed this morning (I've been stuck at my computer all day so I haven't needed to use my phone much). Much, much better than the 70% drain I got yesterday from the same.

Since uninstalling isn't a default option in app setting for G+ I imagine I'd need to download something with super user access to do so? Any recommendations?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrristin:
I am getting killed by the Google Play Services. It was fine till yesterday. Suddenly from today it starts drinking battery!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] treIII:
This is a cool phone. Google has released new software (lollipop). But it just really sucks that a phone with such a beautiful ui and really cool features is such a mess. And yes this os is a mess. Most of us are disabling features such as ambient display, google apps, location etc.. just to be able to last anywhere from half a day to a day. Really depends on how much a person has had their screen awake and how much is disabled to attempt to make it through a day. The battery is just not large enough for the 4k display. If everything were operating correctly I would feel like I'd spent my money as well as I ever had on a mobile device. What is the value of having a 2.7ghz processor if we have to under clock it? I'd like to use the speed of the processor but I slow it down also as I am fighting for battery life as much as I can. Today is the first time I've used battery saver and my experience is that it helps tremendously on my phone personally. But it also ruins many of the reasons I bought the phone. I like the animations of lollipop. I've always reduced animations to .5 through developer settings. I hope Google is seriously trying to iron this out. It's a big deal that all of us are fighting for battery life and Google apps gone wild are hurting many of us. As far as I can see my opinion is this os is a great concept but needs much work to be considered anywhere near as efficient as KitKat was. But the real question after all I've said is Have any of us that purchased a nexus phone never had to fight for battery life? We knew what we were getting into when we bought a nexus. Things will get better. I just wonder when and if this screen will ever be controllable with IMO such a small battery for such a large 4k display. Enjoy your nexus'. I am the best I can fighting for battery life.

Not sure if anyone using nova knows this or anyone interested or anyone wants to get nova or whatever reason just likes to have this feature.

First step is install nova and prime (I think it requires this because we need the gesture)

Go to app store and download Screen off and lock by katecca. (You might wanna activate the app first) .

Once downloaded go to nova setting. Go under gesture and buttons. Select double tap. On the top tab select app. Scroll down to screen off (under s). When you first select it. It will have to activate the app first and just hit yes/activate it. (Unless you activated it first)

Once done..

You can now double tap anywhere to get screen off instead of the status bar.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] veyec:
I got the phone used and have had it for about 6 months or so. It came rooted with the stock sense ROM. I quickly got rid of sense. It started giving me the OTA Update notice about 2 days ago.

I have tried to install it a couple of times. Each time, after it downloads, it goes to reboot and ends up in the bootloader. It will not go into recovery, saying in the quick little flashing screen in the bootloader that the image file doesn't match. I end up having to flash a new recovery (TWRP) into the phone using ADB. After the failed install it boots into the existing Sinless ROM without any issues.

I have the .zip. I do not have a account where I can host the file other than Google Drive. It is 528 MB. I have it on my Google Drive and here is a link:

Your m8 is running a gpe Rom. The firmware is Verizon. That's why you aren't able to flash the ota. That ota doesn't really do us any good. You can however update your vzw firmware (not using this zip) and then you can flash the latest gpe Rom which is L.
