[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Brazilian Joe:
Dear gurus,

I have 2 Blue Angels here at my office, which were bought at the same time. One of them has been through many WM5 ROM upgrades without any problem whatsoever, and only now, with the recent advancements (esp. conection Sharing), the other user is willing to do the 'leap of faith' :)

Strangely, his machine has been behaving consistently bad when trying to upgrade using the cradle, although it syncs without problem.

Thus I'd like to try to back up the WM5 ROM from my BA and flash it using the SD card on his device.

Is it possible?

Instructions are welcome.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ucifmak:
second request for Flashing from SD

Thanks Joe for raising the question. I will not have access to my PC for sometime and flashing from an SD card sounds great.

Thanks in advance,

Hello

Just bought the htc m8 a month ago and has been an amazing phone. Except for the past few days the battery has started to drain way faster without any use. I installed gsam battery stats and added some screen shots.. Any help would be appreciated.

What programs are you install recently? Maybe problem is in one of them? Try to delete programs one for another which were installed recently.

But based on your screenshots (and assuming) you do use your phone from time to time than I think its fine :)

But do you have a custom kernel installed? If yes, have you tried to turn off pocket protection? It may help :)

Well i found the source of my problem. It was HTC Checkin Service that was draining my battery. Anybody know what i can do about this to fix problem? I tried greenify but that didnt work.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobbi lim:
Try disabling the service, if ca't maybe freeze it using titanium backup? :confused:

But I think that should be some rogue app that's trying to make use of that service but I'm not very sure. I don't have that issue on sense based rom nor stock at all

Upgraded from KK to Lollipop recently. Running fine, rooted, and with sleek kernel.

I left my 64gb SD card in while doing this and now I cannot access it.

The OS sees it and can erase it, but that's about it. When I try to mount it, it fails (with no error message).

Any suggestions on how to resolve please?
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
No problem. You need to add a line to the /etc/permissions/platform.XML.

It is the media line. Use Root Browser, open the file, write in the third line designated, save, enjoy:)

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

Found a 32gb SanDisk card and it worked right away in my G Pad, so I guess that confirms that the 64gb one stopped working somewhere during the upgrade to Lollipop. Sort of sucks, but at least I know.....

LG G Pad SD Card problems

Hi, I am having the same issue with SD Cards (3 - 2-64gb and 1-16gb). I just purchased two G Pad 8.3's, one for my son and one for me. I also purchased two Samsung EVO Micro SDXC 64GB cards to use with the Tablets. I immediately updated the OS from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 KK and everything seemed fine. I did have one problem that I attributed to the SD Card, my Tablet popped up a msg stating that the SD Card was not accessible and I need to Format it. I tried to Format from within the Tablet and it didn't work, I still couldn't mount it or access it. So I removed it and put it in a little card reader and ran a Complete Format in exFat32 and it worked because I then installed it in the Tablet and it was visible and accessible, so I removed it and tried it in the second Tablet and it seemed fine, for a couple hours. I added some music and videos from my PC and again it seemed fine. But somewhere along the line the SD card is kicked out of the format and becomes Un-Formatted. So I am thinking all you need do is remove the card from the Tablet and do a Full Format on a PC, Windows 7 defaults to exFat32 for the 64GB SDXC card and Fat32 for the 16gb SDHC card and they then appear to be perfectly normal. I don't think the Cards are permanently ruined, even though the Tablet will not access the card until a re-format. What I need to know is why are TWO new Tablets BOTH doing this to TWO NEW SDXC Cards and one SDHC 16gb card that I have had for a long time which has been reliable and Stable until now. Are there other instances of this taking place using KitKat? Is it possible that the Tablets are BOTH Defective? or is it something in the OS that is corrupting the cards, but still allowing me to reformat outside of the Tablet in a card reader? Any Feedback would be appreciated. And it sounds like your card is still serviceable if you do a full format outside of the Tablet, Oh and I am not sure but it seems like the problems begin AFTER the Tablet shuts down and reboots although I am not positive about that. Again, any help is welcome, I need to either resolve this soon or I have to return the Tablets before the window for returning them expires. Sorry for the length of this post.... Dan:eek:
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
I think your problem is related to what base your firmware is. There have been many sdcard problems with official stock 4.4.2 firmware. Try going back to 4.2.2.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleekmason:
Arrrghgh!! I was havoing the same problem after installing the new recovery.

THE ANSWER IS.... while in recovery, goto mount, and mount the damn sdcard!!! Took me a few to figure it out. Jeez.
[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltadroid:
You must also make sure your sdcard is formatted as fat32 and not exfat. If you format the sdcard in CWM, then it should be the correct format and you will have much less trouble with strange unmounts.

Exfat will appear to work, but it will give you problems.

Locking method?

I can't post links yet, so here is my entire post from androidcentral:

Galaxy S5 - Tmobile - SD 16gb

My SD card was working fine shortly after the upgrade to Lollipop until I did the first restart: the card was no longer recognized. I thought the problem could be with the card, so I backed it up using my laptop (yes, it was readable from the laptop) and did a full format in FAT32. Still no luck. Then, out of nothing, I decided to unlock the phone using the backup password instead of my finger print: immediately I saw in the top of the phone the message "preparing SD card" and it was recognized by the phone. I repeated the test: restarted the phone and unlocked it using the finger print: SD card not available. Then locked the phone and unlocked it using the backup password: the card was recognized. Since then I'm not using any locking method for my phone (will try other methods later).

Has anyone gone through something similar?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nubsors:
Having this phone now for about two weeks, I started to notice that text messages are being sent and received in large groups instead of individually. I also noticed that I am getting message not sent errors far more frequently than I ever did on my Note 2. It appears that the cause of this problem is related to LTE because when I change my preferred network type to 3G, text messages begin to send and receive nearly instantly. I wanted to post this here because I don't want Sprint to think that this is a viable work around for the problem.

But for all of you out there suffering, you can remedy the situation by navigating to:

Settings -> Wireless & networks -> More -> Cellular networks -> Preferred network type -> 3G

Now I understand you don't want to use 3G on this otherwise awesome phone. But if you are a heavy texter and are connected to a wireless network 99% of the time, it may be worth it to you.

Anyway, I hope this helps, and if any of you come up with a better solution please post it here. Thanks!

[General Topics] Slickademo:
It's time for me to upgrade my Verizon line. In have narrowed down my choices to 3 phones. Here is the list of phones and price.

LG G3 $50

Sony Xperia Z3V $100

Galaxy Note 4 $200

Please let me know if you have owned any of these phones and what you think of them! Thank you.
[General Topics] Slickademo:
Anyone have feedback on these phones from their personal experience?
[General Topics] Slickademo:
Got the Xperia...awesome phone so far if anyone was wondering!
[General Topics] mikaeldalc:
Should've went with the Note or G3. I have the Xperia Z3v at the moment and I got bored of it quick.

No root will be available anytime soon, even with that, good luck ever unlocking the boot loader. Battery life isn't as good as advertised and its basically an Xperia Z2, just re-named.
[General Topics] pchain:
Actually, IMHO the Z3v is more like a Z3 trapped in a Z2 case. It has the same processor, RAM, and GPU as the Z3. The camera is basically the same except the Z3 has a slight bump in extremely high ISO capability. The screen is slightly brighter on the Z3 but the Z3v is not dim...I cant even use it over 50% without burning out my eyes. The Z3v also has dual stereo speakers and Qi charging. Basically you can't lose with either device so it doesn't matter what you call it... It all comes down design aesthetics and I happen to like the Z3v. I can't switch to a different carrier so the Z3 isn't even an option for me. lol

As far as battery life, since I've had it when it launched in October, I've never gotten less than 7 hours actual screen on time, easily averaging over 8. The most I got was 11 hours screen time. I charge mine nightly but a couple times I tested the longevity....got 48 hours 19 minutes uptime with 6 hours 50 minutes screen time. Another time I got 42 hours uptime and 7 hours 15 minutes of screen time.

The Z3v has far exceeded my expectation in the battery department... I have never once used any of the stamina modes.

Hey everyone. Anyone here use Tasker or any similar app. If so so what are your favorite profiles or things to do with them?
[ONE Themes and Apps] Chym3ra:
Use search
[ONE Themes and Apps] Giocarro:
I'm a long time Tasker user and cannot think using any device without it.

The main thing I use it for are:

- automatic change of audio volumes based on time and location;

- hourly chime;

- missed notifications reminder;

- automatic switch GPS ON/OFF when using maps;

... Other little things depending on specific ROM I'm using ...
[ONE Themes and Apps] BrianDigital:
Macro droid is pretty good, A tad easier to setup tasks
[ONE Themes and Apps] octibv:
For me, Tasker knocked me down. I use Automateit Pro, a little bit more user friendly and does the job accurately.
[ONE Themes and Apps] venky61:
I am using macro droid. Its really smooth and user friendly. Not as versatile as Tasker may be but it almost serves all the needs with more macros. It was my first purchase from google play.
[ONE Themes and Apps] Gamm86:
Only use it to turn volume down when I arrive at the office.
[ONE Themes and Apps] amd-dude:
Tasker and Secure Settings. I use it to:

1) Set ringtone to vibrate between 11pm to 6am

2) Trigger high accuracy GPS when I open waze.

3) Auto rotate only when in the camera, gallery, youtube and a few others.

4) Switch between edge and HSPA (to save battery) i.e. only swtich to hspa when youtube, web browser or app that needs a fast data connection is active.

5) Send emergency SMS to certain people when battery reaches to 10% (hardly ever happens but hey safe than sorry)

6) Switch to car mode (app) when connected to my bluetooth headset.

7) Open up emulator when game controller is connected.

8) When within range of my home town cell tower, switch on wifi, similarly when out of range of the tower, wait 2 mins then switch off wifi.
[ONE Themes and Apps] tEcHsAvY:
Do any of these require root?
[ONE Themes and Apps] amd-dude:
I can't recall but I think secure settings requires root, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Most of them don't. Secure settings trigger different gps modes.
[ONE Themes and Apps] tEcHsAvY:
Ok cool thank you
[ONE Themes and Apps] biojo:
Llama - is similar, as some alright features

I personally went for tasker and added secure settings

After 3 failed unlocks, takes picture on front cam and logs location

when face down, set phone to silent

when near home or work turn wifi on

when at home and connected to wifi, turn lock off

when connected to bluetooth in car turn lock off

on boot set lock to on
[ONE Themes and Apps] c8503:
similar to others... other additions:

> read SMS sender and text contents while connected to car bluetooth [developing] (anyone know the right audio channel to play notifications through?)

> shake vertically to lock device (too big to always reach power button)

and per someone's earlier question yes you need root for secure settings to do most of its worthwhile tasker actions. although my secure settings is not working for enabling/disabling pattern unlock in 5.0 [liquidsmooth v4.0 unofficial]
[ONE Themes and Apps] noregretzzzz:
I mainly use it to control the lights at home. I haven't been able to think of any other use cases for me :(
[ONE Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
want to share this? looks a bit nifty
[ONE Themes and Apps] pb_virus:
Below are the Tasker Profiles that I use:

1. Turn Wifi On when I'm connected to a cell tower near home. Turn off when I exit.

2. Notify to take my ID card when disconnected from wifi (reminds me in the elevator)

3. Turn on silent mode when I'm connected to a cell tower near office.

4. Switch to 2G when screen is off.

5. Turn on location for Maps, Uber, etc. Turn off when not using.

6. Increase the display timeout when using Feedly, Facebook, Play Store, etc. Change it back to 15 secs when not using.
[ONE Themes and Apps] c8503:
Superquick:

New Profile "Shake it off" > Event > Shake Backwards & Forwards > Sensitivity = High, Duration = Medium > New Task "LockSystem" > If %SCREEN ~ on > System Lock

Note the "IF Screen ~ ON" otherwise while your phone is in your pocket it will keep locking which is not a problem untill you try to run with your phone playing music and you get the lock sound effect every step you take :)

The "Shake Backwards-Forwards" is not intuitive but the shake actions are sort of misnamed in tasker. This locks the phone if you shake it up and down vertically [insert masturbation gesture here].

The medium duration is also key so you get the right kind of threshold for not having the screen go off while you ride the bus but also not having to shake it for a while.

Tasker with OnePlus One

Hello,

I am using Tasker with some of the following tasks/settings...

Sound and Timeout profiles for Home, Out, Work and Night situations.

Toggle between different screens in Lightning launcher for Home, Out, Work or Night situations.

They than look similar to the Smart Screen Launcher screens.

Capturing notifications and displaying them in situations when I want them to appear, including sound and/or vibration.

Retrieving Sunrise/Sunset times and weather information, displaying the info via Zooper Widget.

Setting different wallpapers according the time and location during the day.

Adding the current location to for instance Evernote (like the app Where Am I).

A working time registration including reporting worked hours.

-Tasker

-Lightning Launcher

-Zooper Widgets

-AutoNotification (plugin for tasker)

-AutoLocation (plugin for tasker)

-AutoLaunch (plugin for tasker)

-Email Me (plugin for tasker)

There is so much you can do with tasker :)

RAVPower® 3rd Gen Deluxe 13000mAh External Battery Portable Dual USB Charger 4.5A Output Power Bank. iSmart(tm) Broad Compatibility, Fast Charging, High Capacity, Ultra Compact. For iPhone 6 6 plus 5S 5C 5 4S, iPad Air mini (Apple 30pin and Lightning Cable Not Included), Galaxy S5 S4 S3, Note 3 2, Tab 4 3 2 Pro, Nexus, HTC One, One 2 (M8), LG G3, Nexus, MOTO X and More (Black) (Black)

As you all know, the main problem today with smartphones and tablets is the battery life. I feel these power banks are a must have anymore. The previous versions RAVPower has made are all great models. However every time you take a step up to a new one, they just keep getting better and better. I use these daily, all the time. One is always with me. So, I never have battery issues, like I see a lot of people. I have gotten many different chargers, like this, but RAVPower tops them all, every single time. The bottom line on the RAVPower battery is this. They just flat out work great. :good:

This RAVPower battery beautifully designed, it really has a beautiful dull polished look. It is really simple to use. You just plug it into a wall to fully charge it. It has a beautiful blue light that monitors the charging of it. Full charging usually takes between one to two hours. Then unplug and utilize the cords that come with it. (You can also use any cord that matches the same specs USB to micro). The power bank comes with USB and both short and long USB to Micro-B cables. Also a 30-pin Samsung and USB Mini-B adapter tips. A nice drawstring mesh bag is included for storage too. It has a blue LED that shows you the remaining life of the power bank, it uses 25% increments.

I am usually able to fully charge 2 or 3 devices with just one fully charged RAVPower battery, at least 2 to 3 times each. It is not necessary to do anything other than attach a device to begin charging it automatically. There are 2.4A and 2.1A dedicated ports to accommodate many devices. 2 devices can be charged at the same time. If my smartphone is at 10% I can charge it back to full within 45 minutes using the 2.4A port. Mostly I just keep it close though and just charge as needed. It rarely leaves my phone, until I need to make a phone call or leave. Then I just throw it in the bag with the small cord and have it handy.

I highly recommend this power bank, it is very affordable and worth the money. :good::good:

[Samsung Gear S] wulfman1946:
Hi, I bought my Gear S in the states while I was visiting for 2 months. I wanted a Gear S to play with before I brought it back to Switzerland. T-mobile would only sell it to me if it was activated with T-mobile. I paid for the activation as he told me I could unlock it when I got back here. I had all kinds of trouble getting an unlock code from them. They told me that all I had to do was put in the new SIM and enter the code (8 digits) which I did (although the input space said..."lock code"). It still doesn't recognize the swisscom network. Did I just lock it again to T-mobile? Questions:

- How do I get back to the beginning where I can enter the unlock code again?.

- Is there a back door portal that can get me back there? there usually is..... I have tried a factory reset...doesn't work.

- is the US version locked in to the US only frequency? Doesn't seem so....

Does anyone know how to unlock the device? I hope I won't need one watch for Europe, One for the USA and one for Australia. IF so...Samsung really missed the boat.....

Many thanks for any help
