[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mortitheon:
Mine got to 49C yesterday at 2am before going to sleep. Literally, when I touch the screen, I feel it burning. I'm on stock ROM. The battery, on the other hand wasn't one of the worst times I had it. It went down drastically from 10%, which isn't bad compared to going down drastically from like 30% like I once had.

It may be a battery problem, and it may be a firmware problem. But I suspect that it's both. I got 2 batteries, and when I have problems with one, I turn to the other, and it's a continuous loop. I guess 4.4.4 will fix some of the problems, hopefully.

The screenshots explain everything.

Peak temperature at 49C. The constant green line (straight line) shows when the phone was off. You can see the temperature going down then.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTAN-O-One:
Its a Samsung problem. People actually told me to steer clear off 4.4 update to get away from problems like this.

You guys should try the S5 ROM here. :)

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gian90t:
Searching online I found that battery drain is a problem of KitKat 4.4.2, and that S4, S4 mini and Note 3 are the most affected by this problem. The factory reset, that is often suggested is useless. I made it 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

I even change the stock rom, from the UK 4.4.2 to Italy 4.4.2, with no improvement.

The only way is to wait an official update (if Sasmung will update again this phone), or try a Lollipop or 4.4.4 custom rom.

I could say that rooting the phone by Towel Root (knox 0x0 flashing before the old kernel) and using:

- Coolify (with this app running in background in 3 days the phone stay under the 45° celsius)

- App Opp Xposed (deny the access to position to any app and put "Kepp Away" off for a lot of app)

- GserviceFix

- DisableService (to stop some process, like the wereable process on Google Play Service)

And freezing all the useless software pre-installed, i get some little, but important, improvement

At this time I have 50% of battery with around 3 hours from the unplugged and with around an hour to use with display on in gsm mode (no wifi). Before KitKat updated this wasn't good, but if i hadn't root now i would have 35 or less percent
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TiTAN-O-One:
I would be better off with a custom ROM than Offcial Samsung Stock ROM. 4hrs of SOT (without WiFi) just with light browsing, gaming and some video watching :)

I do understand you guys don't wanna void warranty but I guess its better than buying batteries every month :(

Anyways, i guess some improvement for this is simply to wait for Samsung's update OR try out greenify. I believe Greenify can hibernate apps that causes the most overheating :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrokon:
For what it's worth I had similar over heating on my i9300 and my current phone i9195. I believe it mostly stems from the screen. The screen in a phone and laptop will be the biggest drain on power, by far, second to none.

Unfortunately, once a battery has experienced regular rapid battery loss from the screen being on too bright and too often, the battery becomes pretty poor at holding charge. And one of those screenshots shows the screen zapping the most... Remember, even if its on charge it's still hitting your battery for power. Now I never let the screen above 45-50% brightness.

If you're running stock and have power saver activated then turn the screen down, and remove as many unnecessary apps as possible. If you're rooted then there's plenty more you can do and my favourites are Droidwall to prevent apps from using your mobile connection and a custom kernel with app to under volt the cpu and gpu, but there's a lot more you might be able to do...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gian90t:
I put the S5 Proyect rom with Brisk Kernel and the problem persist.

It's not possibile was an hardware problem, because in Jeally Bean was everything fine.

But now it's really strange, sometimes the battery drain a lot, but yesterday night with the 10% i use it a lot to whatsapp before to see it shut down automatically. I don't kwow what to do :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrokon:
A battery isn't considered hardware by most as its a consumable; its not expected to last the lifetime of the phone.

Just because it was fine on JB you can't discount the battery cells failing. I assume you went from JB to KK, and not downgrade? If so i believe the screen zapping the battery too much causing the battery to begin failing holds true...ie, 6 months ago it was fine on JB but now its bad. Between then and now the battery has been hammered.

[Ornate TrueSmart] Apokriphos:
I would really like to create a custom touch based recovery for the Inwatch Z Smartwatch, using MTK6572 but I am still very ignorant on how to do so. The MTK scatter I included below seems to reference EMMC. The recovery.img I included is 6,144 KB.

I know the Omate TrueSmart Smartwatch has a working touch based recovery and uses the same processor, so it should be possible.. but I was wondering if anyone here knows how I might go about such an attempt.

Please let me know what you think - Thank you very much

Can I suggest you get 'greenify' from Xposed.

Then use greenify to freeze all background tasks.

Perhaps there is something running while your phone is awake, just a suggestion. Probably not your battery if you get a good life when the screen is off.

Are you using any custom kernel, in case of increased voltage or high frequencies or an aggressive governor.

Hi,

Am I correct in thinking that the Hard-SPL will not replace the IPL or Radio Parts of a ROM? If so, is it possible to flash a dumped OS image with the Hard-SPL installed and then re-flash the original SPL? The reason I ask is that I'd like to be able to create a backup of my ROM and as I understand things this didn't used to be possible.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
yeah... but why exactly do you think it's necessary to go back to a retail SPL?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sjbale:
Thanks for the reply. I'd like to be able to reinstall the retail SPL in case I need to return it for a warranty repair at some point in the future.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Olipro:
oh right, yeah, not a problem
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] sjbale:
I assume it's still not possible to dump the IPL and SPL from the device?

I can't give you ADB Logcat as logcat doesn't seams to work (adb works fine, I can browse adb shell and so on). It kept giving me this error : "logcat read failure: No such file or directory"

The only thing I've got is some tombstone files witch all look similar (please see one attached)

If you could give me an hint that would be great

I tried to change the kernel also but everytime I boot it (using fastboot boot newboot.img) I get a dark blinking screen.

Thanks and merry christmas!

[Nexus 5 General] kolyan:
I kept mine and sold N5. So far VERY happy with it
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
Lol I did the opposite- I bought an N5 with the money I got from selling the OPO (I made $100 on the sale) and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. It's the second N5 I've owned, sold my first one when I bought the original Moto X. The OPO is not a bad phone by any means, it just wasn't the amazing flagship killer I was expecting. I found the build quality to be lacking, there were way too many bugs in the software when I had it, and I just didn't like the design in general. Not to mention that OnePlus is a horrible company, and I refuse to support a company that treats its customers the way they do.
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:
Can you give me one please.... Need to buy one for my sis
[Nexus 5 General] kolyan:
too late to refuse to support the company if you already bought the phone from them...

I dont have any bugs, just a minor issue with "profiles" which I haven't even tried to troubleshoot. Built quality surpassed my expectations too. Both N5 and OPO are decent phones though. OPO has lots of positives over N5, I am just wondering if they will keep the promise and update it to L in time.
[Nexus 5 General] kolyan:
pm'ed
[Nexus 5 General] _MetalHead_:
It is too late I suppose lol. And from what I've read, most of the bugs I experienced have been fixed. I had mine back in July so there have been quite a few updates since then. Don't get me wrong, it's a good phone, it just wasn't for me. If you're happy with it, that's all that matters.

Hey guys I just got the Nexus 7 2013(Wifi) today for Christmas and I just rooted it with Nexus Root Toolkit, and I wanted to know how I can update to Android 5.0 without wiping it. I have Android 4.4.4 with the latest TWRP.

You didn't install a custom ROM? I have the same tablet, I also rooted mine. I updated to Jellybean and everything seems to be working, except I lost root and it's really annoying that I haven't found how to root it again without it being wiped erasing all my apps and data.

You can update it via OTA, but you will lose root.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DMF1977:
If u are only on jellybean, u might be able to just use the towelroot apk and not erase any data...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] chrismast:
You can either:

(1) Wait for the OTA: hence no wipe of data

(2) Use the factory image and remove the wipe command (-w) (search for a how to, answered many times here)

(3) Use the OTA zip (not familiar with process, if it wipes or not, as I always use factory images but I guess there is a how-to in here as well somewhere!)

(4) ...

One thing you should take into account though is that for a major android version jump (e.g. 4.4.4 => 5) you should always consider to wipe.

In addition, questions go into Q&A section ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] andyskelly:
You can install multirom. So you can keep the stock rom and install lollipop as well. Just have a look at the multirom thread on how to install it. It's quite easy.

But O2 plus and O2 phone plus is not really the same. O2 phone plus is simaliar to the Smartdialing that we have on HTC. The only thing which made it even better is that you can click on the number and edit it, like putting prefix.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisR82:
Slightly different point of view here: I don't need a phone. I need an Android device.

What I currently have is a Galaxy S2 GT-i9100 and a Nexus 7 (2013). What I use them both for is games (80% of the usage), music, internet, pictures, and pretty much everything that is not calling people.

I've been looking at videos of the Nexus 5 but all worthwhile ones are of the 4.4 release version, which I already know was quite terrible, so I wanted to ask - after so many updates, are the camera autofocus, battery and other major flaws fixed? What current weak points does it have (anything you think sucks)?

My budget is not that high so Nexus 6 and 9 are out of the question.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayR_L:
IMHO the Nexus 5 is the best possible Android experience for the money. Its butter smooth. On optipop the battery isn't amazing but its definitely reasonable. (I get 5 hours of SoT)

I've never had any issues with the camera to be honest. All things aside, no device is perfect and while the n5 has flaws, it is truly a work of art.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisR82:
I've never had the chance to check out a Nexus phone, but on the N7 2013, the camera's autofocus is (my own opinion) pretty terrible even compared to phones from 2010 when it comes to video...how is there any constant focusing (or lack of focusing) issues on the N5? Or frame-lag when recording in 1080p?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
A year later the N5 is still one of the best phones on the market. It is still blazing fast, smooth as silk, and gaming on it is awesome. I go through Android phones like they are disposable, usually selling them to offset the cost of the new one. Every so often a phone comes around that I just can't bear to part with even though I've since upgraded. The N5 is one of those phones. I'm currently using a 2014 Moto X and an iPhone 6 as my primary devices, but there's just something about the N5 that is preventing me from selling it and I will likely keep it forever. And like JayR_L said, it's easily the best Android experience for the money.

TL;DR- Yes, it is absolutely worth buying.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That's hardly the case. Sure, there are phones with better battery life, but the N5 is certainly not the worst.

I would like to say the same, the nexus 5 is the best experiencie u can get from a android, Excep for the battery and about the heat playing games u guys should see the xperia z2, I'm sure that the battery will last a less twice but that if u aren't afraid of your phone became a fire ball.. I like [MENTION=2705242]_MetalHead_[/MENTION] still having my nexus 5 even when I got the xperia z2, its just hard to sell a phone which have been so amazing and for that long.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You cant compare the Moto G to the N5. It has a much weaker processor than the N5 and as a result it won't get nearly as hot. More power generally means more heat. I've used all the major FLAGSHIPS this year and all of them heat up. The OnePlus One gets so hot you can almost boil an egg on it. Even my 2014 Moto X gets pretty warm with extended gaming sessions.

And again, everyone knows that battery life is not one of the N5's strong suits. Compromises had to be made to offer such a powerful phone at such an affordable price point. Just like compromises had to be made with the Moto G in order to sell it so cheap. If you want raw power, and just ok battery life, go with the N5. If you want a budget phone with great battery life and don't care about processing power, RAM, or screen resolution then save a little money and get the Moto G. Both are great devices for their targeted markets.
