[Lenovo P780] valtmat:
Hi everyone!

Got my second P780 from China after wetting the first one, and again struggling with the same thing; my plan is to flash AOSP or similar to get a clean UI with minimal additional crap. The first phone I couldn't even root, now I can't succesfully install a custom recovery. Tried both CWM and TWRP several times with the same outcome; when booting to recovery, all it does is a bootloop on blank screen and have to use the reset button and wait for a while to even get Android to boot normally. Actually the first time I tried I did get to CWM recovery and after choosing to boot normally I got the bootloop.

The build in this phone is something special; VIBEROM_P780_www_sjrom_cn, runs on Android 4.2.2 and the baseband version states P780.V52, 2013/11/06 11:17 if all that matters...

I used Mobile Uncle for recovery updates, is there another way, or something I could try out?

If you think I should just give up on this, maybe someone could address me to a good tutorial on how to clean up Android; what are the things that I can delete safely, how to get the phone to run as battery efficient as possible etc.

There's two app launchers, the stock Lenovo Launcher and something called Apus, both with their own apps for battery/RAM saving, system cleaning, security etc., multiple web browsers, music players, market apps and even a dating app built in, so something needs to be done.

Sorry for a long thread and thanks in advance for any help!

HI

i want to embedd a web browser inside an sms app for android. Shall i make a container of the sms app then add a sub container for the browser, or how to go about this? i need only a rough idea and key points please!!!

thanks
[Web App Development] eng.ahmed.android:
I think you need to use WebView which has many features like web browser.

Check android docs about it on this link & this link

You can also check this discussion on stackoverflow, I think it will be useful for you.
[Web App Development] rpanangi:
ok but webview is only for viewing the web and cannot access telephony to send the sms.

Actually what i wanted was to read data from a server and populate an android app and create a listview, then use the list of items and make them clickable for the sms event which i think could only be done by native android programe or i could use phonegap and jquery mobile. but ty anywayz

My next question would be about improving the media players for android.

Hello

I own an HTC tytn, and I want to do the following:

record a video from my car, with real-time GPS coordinates being printed at the bottom of the picture.

Can a combination of some GPS receiver and tytn do this ?

Thank you
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Elchinator:
The problem won't be the GPS receiver, but the camera software. The build-in software can't do that. And a third party software would have to support the TyTN camera.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] macsoft:
You can record the video with the phones camera (note the time you start recording), and be running a GPS message recording software. then you can use a video editor software in your PC to spuerimpose the text (gps coordinates) in to the movie.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alainc67:
ok thanks -- I think I may just splash out on a video camera with built-in GPS (not cheap), unless the HTC device with built-in GPS (Artemis ?) somehow does it ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SimonTALM:
Silly question, why do you want to do this?

Depending on your answer you may find www.mp3car.com an interesting place to vist.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] alainc67:
I am working on a large building site, with structures only partially built.

I am trying to show the status of the project to clients by taking a film of the site as it is now, with exact GPS location shown at all times

I woulf then be able to relate exactly what is shown on the film to a modelisation of the fully completed project that we already have.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] SimonTALM:
Fair enough, I saw the Car mentioned and thought you migt be trying to have a video black box in your car, a common idea and one that is being acheived by putting a PC in your car. Hence the link to www.mp3car.com.

I wish you luck in your seach.

I've been a great fan of hTC since htc desire. i used desire, sensation, h&c one x and now m8,but i think its time for me to say bye bye to them as i was very disappointed with their latest htc one m8. Many features are missing in this set. I wish if i wouldn't buy it. I will move to Xiaomi which is incredible phone with big battery life. If i can't get good feature in htc which made them different from other smartphones then obviously I will be looking for another smartphone which has good battery life. Xiaomi will beat all the other phones..I dislike htc one m8..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.panchev:
My question is really simple - what can I do with the adb sideload command and can I use it in the following two cases:

Firstly, I want to install a motorola gallery, which cannot be done by just installing the APK file so can I use the adb sideload to flash the zip?

Secondly, I want to flash the zip, containing the Ambient Display for Nexus 5 - can I do that?

P.S. I use Nexus 5 with stock android 5.0.1 / locked
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
No, cos signature checking on stock recovery. You're trying to flash unsigned zips, most likely.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.panchev:
So if i want any of these, i would want to use a cutom recovery tool?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beekay201:
If you want to adb sideload unsigned zips (aka the ones you get from the community), yes, you'll need a custom recovery.

TWRP or CWM, you choose. Most will suggest TWRP - including me. version 2.8.1.0, to be more precise.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivan.panchev:
OK, but how about installing an OTA update afterwards? Does custom recoveries make my device non-stock? And also how about the mod that I have been talking about - Ambient Display - will this prevent me from sideloading OTA updates?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All modifications will prevent ota. Get over the great ota scandal of 2014 and learn to use fastboot to flash system images.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I just got my xiaomi redmi 1s from my local Lazada store. What i noticed first is that it gets really hot even from normal multi tasking usage. I downloaded the update and now the heat is more tolerable so i decided to let it pass . problem now is that the phone is running slugishly for a quadcore device. Animations are not fluid and multi tasking is quite slow. So i decided to check with cpuz and antutu and below are my screenshots.

With antutu i got only 11000 when i expected to get arnd 18-20k as per the reviews. And in tue cpuz it says that cores 2 and 3 has stopped. Although there was a time when all 4 were running at their own clockspeeds l, and once i saw that everything is marked stopped except for cpu 0 rendering the device to be a single core phone. Any thoughts?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] pgreed:
Do a factory reset and reboot. It will work again at full speed.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] aakashekhar:
Install a custom ROM if you want to. My R1S is smoother on custom ROM than stock ROM. ;)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I tried to factory reset inside the phone. My antut gone up to 14000+. I will now try to reset from recovery see of its any different.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I woulds definitely do that after i sort this out. Im just curious why !many people (including in reviews) get 21k antutu out of the box. I started to think thay my unit is a fake.lol

Thanks for your suggestiona, please keep them comming.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Ferhat78:
Your phone is not fake, you must wait for kernel and install a kernel, you kernel have some problemes
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I tried to factory reset in the recovery and turn off the phone and placed it in front of an electric fan to cool it down. (It was running hot at 50c or more already according to CPU temperature app.) Also I unplugged it from charger because I read that charging the phone usually slows it down to a crawl. And true enough, I got 20000 antutu score :D

However a while ago I got 17000 antutu while temp is at 40-50C. Is it because of the temps? Also is cpu temperature app from google play accurate in recording temps?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Haha ok. Im just curious why my device is not consistently getting 20000+ antutu as described by many users through the net.

I just installed custom mokee rom. Its more fluid than before but the antutu is still 17000. :( temps are at arnd 45-55 upon testing compared to the 30-45 range when i got 20000. Is it relevant? Its the only variable i can think of. Also again temps are recorded thru cpu temperature from play.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] aakashekhar:
Yes, it's relevant. My phone also lags sometimes when I use it while plugged in charger for a long time (because of which it gets heated up).
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Ferhat78:
Try mi flasher, your antutu will up to 19000 nearly and cm11 is the best rom, so install cm11 because it's better.. Install init.d support with init. D toogle on play store and after install broodparts, then set cpu min to 300 and max to 1593 :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Ok will search for that mi flasher. As for cm11, im afraid that dl links have been removed for some roms for the redmi, i dont know why. I will still check today tho.

Update: this noon my temp reached 60C. I was outdoors then and i live in a tropical-climate Philippines so that must be the reason also for high temps. The phone became too hot it might fry an egg, so dsturbing in my pocket so i turned it off, removed the back cover and allowed it cool down.

Update 2: im also suffering with battery issues. I already charge twice today. In My first charge the batt went down by 20% in just 2 hrs. For 2nd charge, in 7hrs and 30mins the batt level is down by 70%(30% LEFT). I was only playing COC and D-day for 5-7mins tops.

Is this normal for our devices? Or is mine deffective?
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Ferhat78:
It's not normal for your device, i have any probleme with my devices, my battery drain is normal, games are smooth, my devices temp is 40C max,, you may wait for kernel and many issues will disapear look battery probleme. You can also try this

Ps. I'm playing every day and i have a any probleme with my device performance or other
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
not sure if i can use that still even if i already have a custom rom? not sure though.

It seems the dl link for CM11 is up. im downloading it today and wil give you guys an update.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I just came across two forum posts regarding our redmi 1s' battery.

http://www.quora.com/What-are-initial-steps-for-a-new-Xiaomi-Redmi-1s

http://en.miui.com/thread-21993-1-1.html (2nd post)

They say you have to fully charge the phone while its turned off. I will try this whwn i get home.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Ferhat78:
You can try on custom and on stock rom, you will see you temp will be 40 or max 46C
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] miananth:
Try Mokee Its better in all the way.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Im actually using mokee unofficial right now. I have downloaded the latest release version of official mokee, and i will try it after i try the phone-off-while-charging 'phone break in.'

Ok i will try.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Just an update: i tried to charge the phone while its turned off (straight frm 0-100% no interruption) and i noticed a slight improvement. I will continue to do this as people say you'd have to do this a couple of times.

Edit: i have flashed the thermal config file in this thread: (not the one posted in this thread, YET.)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2977910

Heating issues also reduced. Max is now arnd 55-57 but this only happens when im outdoors (extremely hot) and playng heavy games. I even play d-day w.o issues. I used trickster mod to freq lock between 300mhz to 1344mhz.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] pgreed:
I dunno what to belive about your phone. Even with MIUI 5 v37 my phone not heating so much and now, with mokee temperature raise to 50 grd on the small spot near the camera whet I've play heavy games. I don't use thermal config but some tweaks inside governor and I use full range of frequencies.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Hmm. Could there be inconsistency with the manufacturing process of xiaomi? I swear at one point the device reaches temps that i would be forced to turn it off cause im afraid i might fry the innards.

Also i havent mentioned this but when i was running the unoffical mokee, the device went too hot that i can hear some slight sharp buzzing sound around the camera area (i think) when i place it near my ear. Kind of similar to the buzzing sound of my samsung galaxy charger that came with my moms s3 (if anybody experienced it with the samsung chargers) i dont know if this is a characteristic of electronics when it overheats as im no electronics major. One thing im sure of is that they dont have to produce that sound at all!
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] Ferhat78:
It's better now, do not install miui v37 because when you send sms, your friend not receive always
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
I did what people are saying abt batt calibration: use the phone until its dead then charge to full w/o using it (i turn it off) then drain back to 0 again and charge to full while off again. After checking in cpuz, my batt size is as advertised, 2050mah. Prior to this i see 1390mah only which i though was odd, and i was even disappointed cause i thought xiaomi is faking their specs.

Will test battery life now.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] JJPahalla:
Update: i charged full last night and used wifi before sleeping. In the morning i used wifi for a bit and played traffic racer and asphalt 8 for abt 20mins at high graphics. Is my battery usage normal/acceptable? Pls see attached images.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudy386:
after reassembling the htc one M7 (801e) i notice lots of cracking ,noise, and distortion from both the speakers especially at loud volumes.

my first guess is that the adhesive used to hold the pieces in place is no longer good enough to secure them.

although there may be an unknow grounding issue causing the noise.

ie --- im missing one screw so the ground shield on the dock port which takes 3 screws currently only has 2

if i were to oper her back up and try to re-set the speakers can you advise what kind of adhesive is best or what technique i should use

or - what do you think is the best way to troubleshoot /repair this noise issue

----------------------------------------

BTW : yall would be proud of me : a total noob to cell phone repair i have tackled the HTC ONE (probably one of the most difficult phones to work on)... like a champ : managed to open her up with absolutely NO damage to the back cover

----------------------------------------

anywayz : any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rudy386:
reopen issue cracking speakers

i stand corrected what looked like a short was causing the distortion

however im still plagued with the issue of the cracking speakers

how would you advise i best secure the earpiece??

a new piece has been installed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

looking closely as you can see in the attached photos : there is a gap between the daughter board and the case

look near the headphone jack

the clip will not hold the board in place thus pops up and leaves gap

im sure there is a grounding issue because when i push the board flush distortion goes away

this close to getting some super glue and tacking the board down

any advice???

Download the supersu zip from the following link and flash it from recovery.

It should fix the problem you are getting. :)

I don't know what i am doing wrong , but when i boot it into recovery mode all i get is the android bot with an exclamation mark on it , it stays like that for a while and then the phone restarts .

Installed cwm 6.0.5.1 succesfully and tried installing both supersu 2.4 and 3.2 . nothing is working . what is next ? i still get the su binary update needed notification
[Micromax A116] $hino:
i have cwm 6.0.5.1 and supersu 2.4... i have no such notification... by the way we now have twrp 2.8.3.0... so try that and see if your issue is solved

It would be great if you report bugs more precise and accurate, so I can have a look into it, if its really sMIUI related.
