[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screensaver.tv:
Hi guys, so my 3 year old Gnex VZW verison has served me well but I find it just chokes itself so quickly (ram free under 100mb) so I need your help! I have gone back to 4.2.2 stock (rooted and xposed framework) and this is what I find happening,,

In no time flat, 25 apps/services are loaded in memory, I have tried Advanced task Killer, Greenify, smartbooster and none really do the trick. My pain in the butt combination of apps getting stuck in recents menu that I have to clear manually, then advance task kill then greenify just to prevent the Nexus from chocking itself is a chore.

My gnex cannot be the only one that chokes so hard so fast, at no time does it ever have more than 300mb ram free (even after fresh boot) and after just a few minutes of use i'm choking at just under 100mb (to the point things take for ever to load until I clear, clear, clear), so help me obi-wan kenobi, you're my only hope!

Thanks guys!

riz

p.s. i have also used LagFix (fstrim) too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screensaver.tv:
* update, root plus greenify and no task killers installed seems to keep the gnex running pretty decent. Still have to clear out recent apps all the time to free up ram but at least greenify keeps most apps from loading unnecessarily and hogging ram/resources
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JST99:
What I have done are in the past are:

1. I got a Kitkat rom and installed bsmitty's Dirty V Kernel SR (Super Ram) version. It adds (or more like, retrieves) about 60mb of ram, if I am not mistaken. Anyhow, when your phone is chocking like that, 60mb might be the life-saver.

2. Uninstall apps you don't use! At some point, you are installing apps like crazy while not uninstalling the ones that you seldom use... and they end up being memory hogs. This has been by far the best solution for me. My Gnex on the latest Lollipop rom is running comfortably with 320mb rams free max. Most of the time, it runs with at least 200 mb of rams free.

+Apps like FB are especially heavy. Just uninstall them and add them to your bookmarks. I found this effective in terms of releasing ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Screensaver.tv:
I'll look into Kernel SR but you might look into greenify, it allows you to hibernate apps (like Facebook) until the user launches it, you basically can keep all those apps from auto-launching as android allows and keeps them out of memory (automatically) until called upon. The task managers along with greenify were cancelling each other out, task managers would bring things out of hibernation just for greenify to hibernate them, it was a vicious circle until i uninstalled task killer and have greenified only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JST99:
Thanks for the suggestion, I really appreciate it. I have already used it before though, and because I am a light-user, I gained little utility from installing greenify. Hope you figure out a way to get your phone running smoothly without ram-choking.

Any one know what problems may arise if I flash an AOSP rom and lose Sprint DM. Sprint DM is where you Update PRL and Update device config. Flashing an AOSP rom removes this option located under Settings | More | Cellular networks | Carrier settings. I have flashed a couple of AOSP roms and I can still get LTE and data to work but cannot update PRL or config because the options are gone.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kfazz:
aosp shamu device tree has settings to launch sprint DM app. have you tried installing SprintDM.apk from stock rom onto an aosp one? you may need to deodex / resign it with the roms platform key.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxaarraa:
Was a very light fall, one that my N5 has survived tons of times. From my pants pocket straight to the cafe floor. Screen is shattered. Very surprised and disappointed by quality of the N6.

Anyway, if I didn't get the insurance with the carrier (which I didn't), am I SOL? Is Google themselves offering a free replacement? I heard some news that they were doing that for the Nexus 5?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
first, why are you disappointed in the quality of the N6 since you dropped it? that's not a quality issue.

second, you may be in luck with google's one time replacement program if you call them. it was pretty widely reported about them doing it for the N5, but i've heard a few blurbs about them doing it with the N6 too. never hurts to call and ask.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The Google one time replacement was only for phones purchased from the Play Store.

People have had this problem in the past and Motorola was willing to fix the shattered screen for ~$200.

Also agreed with Lucke here, not sure why a person would be disappointed in the quality. Its the user's fault for dropping their phone and not protecting it with a case. Yeah its not as durable as phones in the past like Nokia phones but thats the trade off you have to pay for having a big screen.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxaarraa:
All the Nexus 6 fanbois need to take it easy (I am a N6 fan too here). I have been around enough smartphones including past Nexi to say that a light fall from pocket to floor should not shatter the screen. Yeah, that's a usability and 'quality' issue. More of a product design issue if you want to get technical.

The point about google offering a replacement only if it was purchased from playstore - exactly those sorts of intel I was looking for. It then does seem like I am SOL. Will keep you guys posted.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jj14:
Did you purchase it at full price using a credit card? If so, check to see if you card offers protection. I know a couple of my cards will cover theft/accidental damage for the first 6 months, and will offer extended warranty (not for accidental damage) for 1 year after manufacturer warranty expires.

One of my other cards will cover damage to the phone as long as I'm paying my cellphone bill using that card.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

It really depends on how it falls. If it falls face down from a few feet, directly onto a stone, there isn't any screen that won't break. A tempered glass protector may help in those scenarios.

If it falls at an angle, it may survive. If it falls almost vertical, again, the sceen will likely shatter from the side impact.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigkevbosky:
You're not SOL - thankfully you asked here on XDA, so that entitles you to a free brand new N6 replacement! Just go ahead and email Moto and link them to this thread and you'll get your new replacement phone shipped overnight!

Of course you're SOL. You could've used Google to search for your answer instead of wasting time here.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
glass can break just from dropping it on the floor? color me surprised.

in other news, grass is green, water is wet and Latinos like Obama's immigration policy

seriously dude, you dropped the phone and you are calling it defective because the glass broke? gorilla glass is not shatter proof like so many people seem to think, it's hardened glass that is scratch resistant (not scratch proof).
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKINGxX2580:
Hey what's this Google One Time Replacement thing? I bought mine from the play store. This info might come in useful later.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skripka:
Lordy. And the n6 has a far larger piece of glass in it than any of those devices. Bigger pieces of anything like glass will break more easily.

Yes you are SOL.

No it isn't a design flaw.

Yes you need to not be a klutz with $700 tablet.

Yes, you need to own and take responsibility for your own screwups.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucke:
it's not kicking a man while he's down... he's calling it a defect because his glass screen broke when HE dropped it...

it's similar to me calling my car defective after crashing it into a wall. what did he really think was going to happen?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxaarraa:
haha, yeah, I am very surprised by the "people" on this thread. I didn't expect this sort of crowd on XDA, I thought people here were nice. What I asked in the thread wasn't anyone's opinion or advice on how to treat my smartphone. I asked for specific content on Google's and Tmobile's policies in this regard.

To all the other fanbois up above, listen up. Yeah, a poorly designed product is one that shatters from a small fall. To the genius above who used a car analogy, yeah, if your Mercedes S-class breaks in half because you nicked your bumper while backing up in your garage, you should rightfully be upset. Anyone who knows product design 101 will know that designing a $700 smartphone that doesn't survive a small fall is poor design. No, I am not *****ing since I dropped my phone and broke it. I actually really like the N6 and would get another one. Realizing a design flaw doesn't mean you can't appreciate all the other good things about the device.

I already called Google and Tmobile, and one of them hooked me up so my replacement phone has already been shipped.. If not for the fanboi attitude on this thread, I would have been happy to share the information. But no thanks.

Happy holidays folks.

I finally got sick of having a locked bootloader, so I bought an unlocked Tmobile running nk2, rooted it, and cleaned up the bloatware with Titanium Backup. Now I'm looking at putting together a list of tips for using a G900T on AT&T. I've created the appropriate APN settings. If anyone with experience on this could weigh in with some things I should look out for or do proactively, it would be useful not only to me but to other AT&T users looking to get away from the AT&T locked bootloader. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Good Post! I could have used this four months ago when I jumped to AT&T from T-Mo. I have not had any problems. The only thing I can think of is that I disabled wifi calling.

I'm running Omega on my TMO S5 on AT&T. My APN is a little different but I've also tried the one posted above and get about the same results with either. The only other thing I did was download AT&T's Visual Voice Mail app. It's a great way to handle voicemail messages.

+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number

This is a problem that pops up for those of us who have started using a Tmobile s5 on AT&T--you start getting repeated texts that say "+1121611611 Error 122 Invalid Number". The problem appears to be brought about when you use a phone from one carrier on another carrier.

I found a fix for this at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/help/error-invalid-text-reboot-t2865399

Short version: turn off/disable the visual voicemail app.

Here is the relevant text from that page:

PROBLEM: I recently switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, bringing over my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (not rooted, running stock android, got the SIM unlock code from T-Mobile). After fiddling with the APN settings everything seems to be working fine, except every time I reboot I get the following text message:

From: +1121611611

122 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. Activate:dt=15

Any ideas? I first saw this error text the first time I rebooted my phone after switching the SIM card to AT&T, and I get the same text whenever I reboot my phone now.

SOLVED: This was being caused by the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app. Disabling the app fixed the problem.

Sticky this maybe?

How to turn off WIFI calling

2.Tap Settings.

3.Scroll to 'NETWORK CONNECTIONS,' then tap More networks.

4.Tap the Wi-Fi Calling Switch to Off.

I also used Titanium Backup to freeze:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GF Geek:
I've been my old AT&T SIM carrier on a new TMob S5 for about two weeks -- It's rooted and has Custom Recovery. I froze about 100 Bloats w/ Titanium Backup - installed Wanam to tweak it - and am getting an amazing +/- 0.5%/Hr battery usage on Stock 4.4.2!!! (No gaming or social networking, etc) So, I'm VERY pleased and also chose this route to get away from AT&T's bootloader lock policy.

Only one question: I notice an image of a fliptop phone on my AT&T account page. It used to show a pic of my S3. Is there some file I can edit on the phone to get it to show up as an S5 ? Maybe the build.prop or something?

:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kettir:
My AT&T profile also shows a random flip type phone. It must simply be a result of using a non-AT&T phone. I haven't bothered trying to change it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] GF Geek:
I'd LOVE to be able to put a caption on the AT&T site with a pic of the S5, something like "TMobile - S5 - Unlocked Bootloader"

Tomorrow I get my new phone delivered.

After 2 and a half years, it's time to say goodbye to my One X.

The first, and only, phone to make me simply say 'wow' when I got it.

For me it was the first Android phone to beat the iPhone in design.

I loved it.

For the last year, my wife had it and she loved it.

I came back to it for the last 2 weeks when I gave my wife the Z2 and I waited for my new G3 and it reminded me of how great a phone it was (is!).

So farewell, you've served me well.

I feel you dude, getting a new phone in January and really excited but going to miss my one x hugely, it will remain as an outstanding back up phone. Never had a phone that I was so happy with that I didn't feel the need top upgrade until something I really wanted came out. The yotaphone calls to me, as do the potential influx of modular smartphones, other than them nothing new in the last couple of years has felt different enough or improved enough to change.

Hello, I decided to go back to the stock rom on my Optimus 4X HD. I did so by following this guide by Demetris: http://xdaforums.com/optimus-4x-hd/general/lg-p880-firmware-flash-upgrade-t2919195

I flashed V20B kdz in upgrade mode through the LGflashtool and everything worked fine. When rebooting I can hear the bootup sound and see the logo but it stays in a bootloop. The thread I linked above suggests that I do a factory reset.

I can access the stock recovery but it's not working properly. When I press factory reset I see the android guy with an Error! icon above him and nothing happens.

adb sideload fails everytime but I can use adb shell and access the phones storage that way.

Bootloader is unlocked. Another thing to mention is that on the back of the battery it says not for "resale". It might be a developer preview phone because I bought on display for half the price in a phone store.

How can I recover from this bootloop? Any help :)?

Just changed to a new 3rd-party battery and I was told to charge it for 10hrs before use. So I did. I left it overnight and guess what?

Now, I my battery status always showing at 100% - never drop even after hours of using. I even took out the battery and put it back but it still remains at 100%

Short of hard resetting is there any way to modify the registry setting temporary to get rid of this nuisance
