[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwarf77:
Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the great tutorial! Used it yesterday on my rooted Nexus 7 to upgrade to 5.0.2, worked like a breeze! :good:

Afterwards I used WugFresh's Nexus Root Toolkit to regain root.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] __Britain__:
I followed this tutorial yesterday and everything went great I now have 5.0.2 working on my Nexus 7 2013, with no problems I can detect at the moment. Thank you, because I was just frustrated I saw the OTA notification without being able to do anything.

Cheers.

Introduction

Try at own risk

I am a Linux user. Commands are Debian or Ubuntu so you may need to check your package manager for

Linux software for adb if different distro.

If you do not have sudo enabled, then use su - please

On tablet, I use "reboot" by Petrus, as recommended by pogs24ever

I have also installed app= adbd insecure........YMMV

Know that when TWRP is used on removeable sdcard = /sdcard2, you will have a folder

called TWRP so I prefer to rename my image as twrp.img

Credits

Vampirefo for his wonderful help with adb and root id test

Method

SPOILERS= Click to show content ..... hides images only

Ensure your device is rooted.

If your method to root is failing try my method here.

http://xdaforums.com/huawei-mediapad/general/root-huawei-mediapad-7-lite-alternative-t2996675

On tablet go to system settings and enable USB debugging.

Don't worry about setting media transfer, camera or Hisuite

Download and unpack the TWRP* zip to PC and copy TWRP.img to your home folder.

See Original post for latest download

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2693100

Latest download is found at

"Dowload the zip file to this"

Install latest adb to Linux PC

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install android-tools-adb

Do NOT close terminal please

Create udev rule if you don't yet have Huawei mentioned in your rules

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", MODE="666", GROUP="plugdev" ' > /etc/udev/rules.d/55-huawei.rules

Refresh udev for distros running "service" such as distros like Ubuntu with next command or

bottom line for distros not running service like Debian.

service udev restart
udevadm control --reload-rules

Now open terminal as local user please.

I prefer to kill the server and restart it with

adb kill-server
adb devices

If you do not get a device showing a serial number, you can NOT continue.

Recheck you have enabled USB debugging, kill the server and retry adb devices command.

If you are not sure what device your recovery is on, recheck it please with

adb shell cat /proc/mtd | grep recovery

Now we need to translate that into a device which is /dev/mtd/mtd3

Now we can flash with

adb push TWRP.img /sdcard2/twrp.img

# above line copies TWRP to removeable sdcard, change sdcard2 if you
don't use one please.

adb shell su -c "dd if=/sdcard2/twrp.img of=/dev/mtd/mtd3"
adb kill-server

Second last command may fail if you don't yet have a rooted device

also if size of bytes of TWRP image is wrong, recheck it please.

6717440 bytes = 6560 Kb = 6.41 Mb which is far less than max size of recovery image.

Before you test, ensure you have a backup of current recovery on removeable sdcard please.

Now use app to reboot into recovery to test.

[Verizon LG G3] Marine6680:
Overall I like the phone, but I have a few gripes. Maybe some of you agree, and maybe some of you know some solutions.

Much better than the Xperia z3v I had at first. The Xperia had a few odd things about it that bugged me, and the lack of root was getting to me. That is what made me switch.

But it did have much better battery life... I would have 50 to 60 percent battery when I returned home, the G3 will be below 20 percent most days.

The keyboard has a one handed mode, but its prediction and correction are not good. I somehow miss the space key and get run on words all the time, it's been a little frustrating. I know of no third party apps that have a one hand mode though.

The auto brightness is better than the Xperia but still not as good as it can be, it requires too much attention. It limits it's range and trays to be adjustable but it doesn't work well.

Its size has put it over my comfortable one handed use size. The one handed mode helps a bit though. Can't really do much about that. It seems to be the trend.

Its close to being a great phone but held back a bit. Maybe there are solutions to most of my woes.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Battery life for me is great. You might want to get Wakelock detector and see what is causing this. I can get 36 hours and still have 40% left. Also, it just depends on what you are doing with it. I send/receive text messages, make phone calls, surf the web, read news, etc. Usually, I have it charged before I go to bed and when I wake up 7 hours later, it's still at 100%. I leave it on all night as I use the phone as my alarm clock.

Now, I am rooted and I use Greenify to help hibernate a lot of apps. However, you don't have to be rooted to Greenify now. I don't hibernate any system apps and I don't sync a lot of unnecessary stuff either. I also have the Snapdragon Battery Guru app installed which works well. However, I will say, for a few days, I didn't root this phone, didn't use Greenify and used only the Snapdragon Battery Guru and I was still getting well over 24 hours of battery life.

I use Swiftkey and it has a one-handed/compact layout. It seems to be doing fine for me, but I don't use one-handed mode.
[Verizon LG G3] guitrsol93:
I feel you. Whenever I do any type of graphics intensive gaming (i.e. Real Racing 3) during the day, battery drain is crazy. When I don't use it as much, Ive had the phone go for two days. The phone seems to have great conservation when the screen is off, but that massive high-res screen has got to have something to do with battery drain. It's not the most convenient, but personally, I've found the best solution to be a quick mid-day charge. Phonearena did a charge comparison between phones, and the G3 is one of the fastest charging phones on the market right now. 2 hours for a full charge. Like I said, it's not the greatest thing to have to plug in your phone during the day, but I've found that even a solid half an hour charge makes a huge difference.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
Well, yeah. Games are going to drain it no matter what and it depends on how long you play. I've noticed even with Game of War, an hour of gaming will drain it maybe 8% or more. Just depends on what you do with it.

Any phone is going to drain like crazy, but yes, the Quad HD display definitely drains the battery more due to the higher number of pixels. But, for those with every day normal use (not gaming), this phone definitely lasts more than a day.

Whenever I play a game, if I'm at home, I plug it in if I know I'm playing for a long period of time. otherwise, if I'm away from home, I know I can still play over an hour of a game and still have plenty of juice to last me the rest of the day.
[Verizon LG G3] Marine6680:
I would rather have better battery than the added resolution screen. 1080p is very good for a phone.

I watch youtube and mess around online a bit on breaks. Same behavior as the z3v and dramatic difference in battery life.

I never found one handed mode in SwiftKey.

Nvm... Found it

The screen is the biggest user of battery... 60% according to the battery use chart.
[Verizon LG G3] Marine6680:
These past few devices I have had... Has lead me to a conclusion.

All this undervolting and CPU throttling is pretty much useless.

The processor in this device and my last few, has had very little load on it for the most part. Some games may push the system, but general use and some youtube barely has the device going more than a couple steps above minimum clock speed.

Background services and sync... Small effects overall on battery.

It's all about that screen and it's power efficiency. Resolution has something to do with it as well. As the GPU must run harder on higher resolutions.

Turn down the brightness... And then I can't see the video I am watching.

An android phone with a current SoC, a 3000mah battery, a 4.7-5 inch screen, and 1080p resolution... Should be able to get well over 10 hours of screen on time, running video...

The radios are power hungry as well, but mostly in prolonged use like video streaming.

This size and resolution war has prevented us from gaining what we want most... Great battery life.

Still the phone ain't too bad.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
True with that. This isn't an 1080p resolution screen. It's more since it's a QuadHD, so that is definitely what kills it. But, I don't watch videos for 10 hours! LOL. But, I know what you're driving at.

Top chinese Windows 9.7"-10" tablets comparison

[IMG="Teclast X98 Air II"]http://www.samphones.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/7207372_orig.jpg[/IMG]
​

As you may have noticed, Windows 8 tablets have taken over and became more popular than Android tablets and iPads. And that’s for a reason: In fact, having a full desktop operating system on a tablet is one of the things people have always wanted. With Windows 8.1, Microsoft added a full touch-oriented software overlay which is exceptionally responsive and slick! Basically, when you get a Windows 8 tablet, you’re getting the best of both worlds of desktop computing and smartphones!

With Microsoft announcing that Windows 8.1 will be provided free of charges to manufacturers, Chinese firms have been racing to produce the best and cheapest Windows 8.1 tablets and we’ve noticed a great effort in providing top quality products at a very slim price.

I have tested a few of the best chinese tablets out there and I have created this post on my blog for you to compare these tablets : http://www.samphones.com/top-chinese-windows-8-1-tablets-comparison-part-1/

Please tell me what tablet do you think is the best out of these?

My personal favorite: As you may have noticed through the post, my personal favorite is the Teclast X98 Air II. I bought it and spent a lot of time on it, and i'll soon post a full review of it

[HTC One E8] X-Kent:
Hi.

I have a HTC E8(Single sim) that was purchased in Germany.

It runs stock 4.4.2.

For some reason, the language selection screen has less languages than the general Android. For example, it lacks Russian.

Should I reflash the ROM to get it ?

What I already did:

Unlock the bootloader - using the HTC dev site.

Flashed the twrp - didn't work, after a reboot I still see the stock recovery (should I S-OFF or something?).

I didn't use the "Battery out method". I mean I did boot to the stock ROM after flashing TWRP. May be my ROM overwrites the recovery on boot :(.

Can I somehow add the language files to the existing ROM ? Should I have TWRP for it or can I flash it with fastboot ?

I am OK with any generic or custom ROM that doesn't have any bugs running on E8 (CM doesn't support E8 it seems :().

I don't need root. I only need the language.

All help is very appreciated.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] bliblabl:
I habe no problems backing up and restoring whatsapp history. And I've done this many times.

Whatsapp is backing up at 4 o'clock in the morning automatically. So if you restore the history, you have to make a backup direct before you want to restore. Go into settings and select backup. Then you can change the Rom and restore the full history

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] kmdangi:
Generally Whatsapp backs up all the data once a day as per set time. If you want to ensure every thing till the time you want to copy it, go to menu>settings>chat settings>Back up conversations. It will back up till this time.

Then go to internal storage using file manager. copy folder named 'WhatsApp' to your computer or to the external sd card (SD card - only if you do not plan to format it ! )

Then you can install the new ROM or do factory reset... what ever you plan to do.

Then again copy the whatsApp folder back to internal storage. Then install WhatsApp. When you run it, it will ask you whether you want to restore the back up. Proceed. You have everything back as it was earlier !
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] Rayan:
Backing up with Titanium Backup will not take care of the Media in Whatsapp. The media is stored on the root of the internal memory under a folder called Whatsapp.

[Greenify] Digdis:
I often see a few apps running in the background and wonder why they are not Grenified. This happens to me most with YouTube, Google Drive & Titanium Backup. There doesn't seem to be a reason why they should run in the background, thus I'd expect them to be hibernated by Greenify.

I have a rooted LG L7 II device running CM11.
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Did you Greenify those apps? I had to ask since you didn't specifically say so. Also, is Greenify enabled in Device Administrators and Accessibility settings? And are you running Greenify in Root mode or Boost mode?
[Greenify] Digdis:
Thanks. Gotta to admit that I didn't Greenify them manually, but waited for Greenify to do it automatically. I now sent them manually to hibernation and will keep track on whether they run in the background as they did before.

However, isn't the whole point behind Greenify that you don't need to do it manually, but let Greenify do that for you? AFAIK, neither of these apps have anything to do in the background, so isn't Greenify supposed to notice that and send them to hibernation?
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
Greenify doesn't automatically greenify(!) any app. There are many apps running in the background, some required, some not required. So you make the choice to greenify whatever you choose to, depending on your requirements. This is because if you greenify all the apps running in the background, you will lose some functionality. While you may choose to greenify one particular app because you don't need it to run in the background, I may not agree with you since I may require its functionality. So to each his own. That is the beauty of Greenify, that it allows you to choose.

However, once you greenify a particular app, Greenify takes over and further greenifying that app is automatic.
[Greenify] Digdis:
Thanks for your answer. I did Greenify apps manually in the past, ones that I considered their running in the background as unnecessary (such as a shopping app I had which kept notifying me of new deals). However, I thought that Greenify could somehow identify apps who run in the background without need, and so it would send them to hibernation automatically. Guess I was wrong here.

I've tried with some of the different apps in the market, as MAC Spoofer, Mac Address Ghost, ChameleMAC and zANTI. With none of them could do it.

Neither using a terminal plus busybox.

Using the terminal I found out that isn't possible to modify the MAC when the Wi-Fi is off, as this is the way it's done in some Linux distributions (busybox ifconfig wlan0 down + busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw eth XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)

I've also found information in Inet about problems with some devices spoofing MAC with Kit Kat.
