[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insang-droid:
I don't like quoting batteryuniversity.. but this is pretty good analysis.. Depth of Dicharge is directly related to the overall longevity of the lithium batteries.. more you discharge.. the less cycles you're going to get..

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

but.. considering that these batteries are $30 bucks.. use them how you like.. just replace it when you start to "FEEL" that battery isn't holding the charge anymore.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxynote2:
The only thing that Samsung said about the Adaptive Fast Charging adapter is that you can charge 50% of the whole charge in only 30 minutes. They didn't say what tecnology they used or any warning of it. If you buy a phone, and it cames with the original charger which is aproved by the FCC and who knows what other organizations tested it, it means that you will not have any problem with the battery by using the original charger that comes with your device. Anyway, a normal smartphone battery only lasts it's original capacity for almost 2 years, after that, consider to replace it.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dealova2008:
so how much "C" this adaptive charger Note 4 ?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan-H:
As far as I know modern phones know how much juice is in the battery, and shut off well before the battery is empty to ensure no damage is done if you drain it completely.

With all my new phones I always run them till the turn off then fully charge them back while off up to 4 or 5 times, and in the past this has always improved the life of the battery.

I do not believe this improved the battery life of modern phones though, it's just a habit.

On the flip side, it's never damaged a phone or battery of mine.

As for charging currents and speed, i've always used used charger 1.5amp and above and never had a problem.

I tried S-voice for a while. Asked it to do stuff with it either always wanting to Google the answer (like "call [someone]") or it just not doing things right.

I eventually just said "you suck"

It replied with "that is not one of my functions"

Then my messed up mind thought, "Hmmmm, maybe in the Note 5...."

Why is it that the Verizon note 4 has custom roms and kernels but we don't have any at all for at&t?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Dimarini:
It seems like the rooted ROMs for the Verizon Note 4 are for the developer edition which has an unlockable boot loader.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abskurity:
so esentially,over the course of flashing a few different custom ROMs,i somehow lost my ability to have 4G LTE/LTE icons in my status bar.they only say "4G".i had superCID,and some info lead me to believe if i revert to original CID,which is T-MOB010,

i would get my icons back.however this isnt the case.if anyone could point me in the right direction,id apprecaite it very much..

ive been scouring xda & google,but i cant find anything on this exact issue.

some info about my phone,

M7_UL,S-OFF HBOOT 1.57,OS 6.09.401.12,Carrier/Original Carrier Was T-Mobile USA.CID Currently reports T-MOB010.

if you need anymore info,just ask.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
If I remember correctly, it is embedded in the various carrier editions of the ROM or Radio. If you have the capability for LTE and LTE is available you will still get LTE even if it just shows 4G.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abskurity:
I understand the terminology and what the icons mean,i just specifically wanted the LTE icons back.i was able to find a temporary fix with an xposed module,but sometimes the statusbar now lags out & ends up being transparent,in which i cant see my icons because theyre white.again,not the solution i was searching for,but thank you for trying.

PART 1

STEP 1

Dimensioning Your Icons

There are many Software for this you can go for gimp, photoshop, illustrator and many more.

I prefer photoshop.

You can download or purcase from Adobe Store.

Icon size: 136 x 136 (pixels)

STEP 2

Adding layer styles.

Playing with Bleending option.

Add your design your settings add beveal, drop shadow and much more.

IMPORTING ICONS TO MIUI THEME EDITOR

STEP : 1

Now the First thing to DO is Extract the zip file.

STEP : 2

Now GO to MIUI Themes Editor and launch it.

There are two ways of getting started up.

Either select a Theme and Edit or start a new project

STEP : 3

Starting Up a New Project.

PART TWO [ IMPORTANT ]

This is how you reach a fancy icons they are noting but icons with Gif kind of animation we call them dynamic

So what's so special about them ?

Heh!!

You need to know som XML tricks like i am going to show you and i will even share my files which you can edit.

So the above metioned picture is an example how to place it.

FOR CALENDAR

Icons

| __ fancy_icons

|__ com.android.calendar

manifest.xml should be place inside the folders with pngs files

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- calendar -->

<Icon version="1" frameRate="0" width="136" height="136" screenWidth="720" useVariableUpdater="DateTime.Day">

<VariableBinders>

<BroadcastBinder action="android.intent.action.TIME_SET" />

<BroadcastBinder action="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED" />

</VariableBinders>

<Group pivotX="68" pivotY="68">

<Image x="68" y="68" align="center" alignV="center" src="date.png" srcid="#date" />

</Group>

</Icon>

You need to edit them accordingly like i have thepng files settled inside the folder com.android.calendar

For Rotational ICONS

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<!-- Audio -->

<Icon version="1" frameRate="30" width="192" height="192" screenWidth="1080" >

<Image x="96" y="96" align="center" alignV="center" src="icon_bg.png" />

<RotationAnimation>

<Rotation angle="0" time="0"/>

<Rotation angle="360" time="10000"/>

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Bad Bimr:
Have a S-Off Verizon M8 running Viper ROM 2.3.1

Phone has been running flawless until last week. It started to randomly go into dock mode. I can be playing a game and it will go into dock mode. Sometime it goes into car mode (a huge message comes up that I must agree to, I always disagree). I re-installed the ROM and also wiped all the cache and davlik (several times) last week and I thought it worked but it started to do it again. Today when I was talking on the phone it wet into dock mode as I was talking and went to speaker mode as well.

What is going on? Is this a software problem or a hardware problem? Would a full wipe fix this? Will a ROM without "DOCK" fix this? Do any roms not have this "DOCK" and "CAR" mode?

I really don't want to send this back to HTC but I guess I will if I have to.

Thanks in advance

BB
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] cntryby429:
I think those modes are triggered by the phone's detection of a magnet that's built into a dock. Unless you have a magnetic ring on you finger or something similar then I would think to look out for hardware issues.

With that said, it's not hard to take a nandroid and go full stock to rule out anything software.

Hey all. Hopefully this isn't as obvious as I think it is. I have a Verizon Note 3 and recently dropped Verizon and went to Tmobile prepaid. I flashed Alliance's rom from the Verizon forum here and all seems to be working although sometimes the calls and connection are a little flaky.

There is no "better" phone. Different strokes for different folks as they say. Get your hands on one of each if you can, and see which you like better.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I could afford both but I didnt want the note 4 for the following reasons.

1) Samsung - Not a fan of how they handled warranty on the S3

2) Touchwiz -although better now, still a resource hog

3) Samsung - Closed Source for many HAL's etc, making AOSP very difficult and buggy

4) S-Pen - although pretty cool, paying for something I wont use much...

5) Although technically better screen, wanted slightly bigger.

OK, so I got the unofficial of the android development thread thing for the ATT HTC One m8 and just found out that Cyanogen just released a official nightly. So I go to install it, have zip and gapps. I wiped all cache, system, and data. Flashed zip but says error, I'm like wtf. It says I need to update a bininary or something. My android tech skills are at like 5/10 so I'm stuck here. With the unofficial I'm on android version 5.0.1 and I think the nightly I have is 5.0.3 (CM12 I have 2015-01-12 15:25:50). So any thoughts or recommendations on my dilemma please let me know. Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
What recovery and version?

I'm not a CM user. But you might check if CM12 requires a specific (such as updated) version of recovery, or updated hboot. Also, I believe the latest version of TWRP has some flashing issues with older hboots.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] iTzz_KAMIKAZE:
So hboot is 3.16.0.0000 and twrp is 2.7.0.2 I'm just going to try a different nightly and see ifnit works. If not I'll just wait for a new release.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] iTzz_KAMIKAZE:
I just read on xda that I may need to update hboot by going back to stock and getting rid of custom recovery and root, then update hboot somehow. A little confused here. Any suggestions?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] redpoint73:
Do you know what hboot is required?

If its 3.19, you can't update the AT&T version to that hboot by the method you described. There is no "stock" AT&T hboot 3.19 yet.

Are you s-on or s-off?
