If not,

So can i flash a custom rom of a mobile which has similar spec as gionee p3 ???

Because there are not much custom roms for gionee pioneer P3 on internet.....

Pls Help:(
[XDA Assist] Razvan:
Sir,

If you want to buy other device and throw your Pioneer P3 on the garbage then flash. :D

BUT ITS NOT POSSIBLE to flash any ROM from different device because you will brick it.

Take care

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
You should stop making threads, start reading or just return the phone to stock and keep it that way.

Looking at the other threads you created you haven't learned much.

Please make nandroid backups so you can always return to some previous point or at the point where you left off when you flash something. These are basic steps.

Now reflash the rom you were running or flash a totally other rom or preferably the full stock rom for your device.

Don't flash any of the newer roms because you will have more errors because of the low (3.16) hboot.

:)

Edit : and why on earth aren't you using the power of s-off to update the firmware and update to the newest android L roms ???

What do you mean if you could find out how? A quick search in Google gives plenty of results. The general section of this thread is littered with guides, the Development section is littered with guides.

The real question is, How can you NOT find out how to do it? Of course... you didn't really look for it, did you?

One quick Google search:

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lw00d:
this is my issue. when i play graphic intensive games for more then 10 mins, N9 starts to make this weird sound with really bad lag or sometimes it even freezes the game for a second or two.. the back of the tablet is hot. not very hot that i can not touch. this started happening around a week ago.. i have stock android. 5.0.1 unlocked, rooted. the question. is there some kind of fix.. or i have to send the N9 to google for repair??
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madsquabbles:
one guy here underclocked his gpu and found that games performed just as well as full speed. most games really aren't taxing the gpu but the gpu and cpu ramp to full speeds even under light loads. you might be able to try that.

I've had the same issue, the speaker starts to lag, skip and cut in and out. Mine didn't just do it with games though, but asphalt 8 would do it every time without fail. It was very annoying. Mine did it on more than just games though. Youtube, any videos really. I returned mine because of this issue plus a few more. The new tablet I have has not done this one time, doing the same stuff.

[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lw00d:
fix the issue.. .i did a factory reset to send to google for repair.. after the the reset i install one of the games that always gave me the issue. what would u know it was fix. i play for 45mins no issue.. b4 if i play the game for more then 10mins it would start trippin..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lw00d:
ok the factory reset only work for a couple of days.. i had to send N9 to repair..
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FrankBullitt:
Did google accept to repair the tablet under the warranty because of this performance/heating issue?

If so, this is basically them saying they have launched a defective product that has issues under high load on the CPU/GPU side. What you were experiencing was the heating based throttling causing lags (yes, audio output can also suffer from lag if the CPU is suddenly capped to avoid overheating).
[Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lw00d:
send it to HTC, not google.. yes customer support was aware of the issue.. the lady told me she just did one before me, for the same issue..
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] justasiam:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (SM-520). It has been working perfectly.

Now, all of a sudden, when I plug in the usb cable, it does not show up in the "My Computer" section of my Windows 7 system. It gives the familiar "ding" sound when I plug it in, and it charges using the same cable, but now I cannot drag files across to it anymore.

Ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
I know i talked about this earlier, and i`m well aware that there is not a single Wm6 Rom available for this kind of pdas. There is also almost no chances that manufactures would offer any WM6 upgrades to current pdas that do not have phone functionality, since the market is now moving cellar. So, could somebody, please make one? I personally own Dell Axim x50v running Wm5. (I know it requires huge amounts of work). But i don't see you guys having too much trouble making one for the Universal or Hermes. Is that really that much harder to develop roms for the classic pdas?

(i used my nintendo wii to type this.)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Xdenwarrior:
:( So, is there anyone out there who could answer my question???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leyton01:
Not going to happen. People don't hack WM6 to work on devices, they use leaked ROMs from manufacturers. Dell will not release WM6... ever.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fluidification:
So since the past summer, I've been encountering lag while executing simple tasks and major frame skips while playing simple games.

I was never able to diagnose the issue. I tried different roms, kernels, GPU drivers, etc etc, to remedy this issue. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to.

Today, while browsing FKU's system monitor, I found that my GPU never exceeds 200 mhz no matter what the maximum is set to (which is set to the default 450).

Any recommendations? Help? Similar experiences?

Bootloader unlock state has no effect other than the ability to flash images.

This is a problem!" did another hour of browsing only to find out i have to "unroot" it? and i have no idea how to do that any and all help would be greatly appreciated. i will leave my tablet specs below just in case.

First of all, I have the AIO moto G, i cant figure out which model number It is (XT____).

Second, since it was AIO, and is now on Cricket, because they changed the branding or whatever, I havent got any system updates, and I think the cricket version even got up to 4.4.4, but im not positive.

Ideally, I'd like maybe the AT&T lollipop rom if that exists, or some way that i could get future updates, even GPe would probably be ok. I am switching back to AT&T shortly.

Thanks a bunch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Even while in on place without moving while connected to a very strong wifi signal of 50+mgbs .

I have very good wifi at home with a premium wifi router, Netgear N600 dual band, wifi is connected but keeps on scanning every 5 to 10 seconds, it eats up my battery like candy.

How do I stop it. Is there something in buildprop that I can change to make it scan once every 6 months?

If out and about looking for a signal and I press scan, ok scan away, but while sitting 10 feet away from my router and not moving, common gimme a break. ???

Any input will be appreciated.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Is WiFi always scanning option enabled in advanced WiFi settings? If so, disable it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
No, it's not enabled.

Kind of remember a reference to a buildprop value that could be changed to stop over scanning during my GS2 days.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Well it shouldn't drain the battery then, mine lasts a long time. And yes you can change it in the build.prop, don't remember the exact entry but I think rom toolbox has an option for it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
I have romtoolbox pro and it has a buildprop editor in performance settings, will look into it.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Scrolled through all of build.prop and there is no reference to "wifi" "supplicant" "scan" "interval" , anywhere in buildprop, search doesn't pull up anything either.

Could this code or command be part of frameworks?

This could be part of Kit Kat rehashing to make system more efficient or faster?

Maybe Romtoolbox pro is not seeing some parts of buildprop?

Remember seeing "wifi_supplicant_scan" lines while editing buildprop on old Samsung GS2.

???

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
I too remember that, but don't see it either. You could try adding it in. Also disable open network notifications in advanced settings. Might not help but worth a shot. If nothing works, then the problem might be something else
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Tried adding it , disaster :o , Google apps force closing had to do a factory reset. Doing research for now. It could be triggered by apps looking for additional data Google style. ???

Smart network is off so is network notifications.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
It could. Keep an eye on battery stats see if anything pops

[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Ive seen no threads on this issue so I decided to make one! But I wanted to know if anyone had any! Personally I had one stuck pixel on my tab s. Yet it was really hard to see I later got it fixed by doing a stuck pixel remover video for about a couple of hours and later installed discreet blue theme. Now its not there! I own the tab s 10.5 Wifi.

So... Has anyone else got a stuck pixel or an image burnt into their screen? Let me know below! Could be useful for others buying this tablet!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Robert_Jacobs:
I've had the Tab S 10.5 LTE since release, use at least 8 hours daily for work and haven't got any issues in terms of the screen degrading like burn in or stuck pixels, have thoroughly checked to be sure, might have just been a one time thing, generally take years for a burn in on Amoled but even then I have had other AMOLED screen devices for years without a problem
[Galaxy Tab S General] ThE_SoUrCe:
No burn ins on my unit as well , im using the 8.4 as my primary phone and gps. Im always at 1/16th brightness. I also have a 4 yr old 7.7 slate, no burn ins as well. Seems like newer amoleds are not that prone to burn ins. Just to add, im using an all black theme.
[Galaxy Tab S General] MrBooMY:
Somehow (turning brightness all the way up all the time) my friend burned in a new note 2 in about 3 months. He used his phone a LOT as well.
[Galaxy Tab S General] neograniceni:
My Tab S (about a month old now, auto brightness below 10-20% using Velis Auto Brightness, not much used) is perfect for now. However I saw the two 10.5" samples heavily burned at the local mobile shop. Also saw two months old Note 4 heavily burned at the same mobile shop. So it seems burn-in problem with this latest amoled screens still remains.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thank you guys for your response! Yeah turning the brightness up to 75‰ is how I got mine. That was when I first got my tablet and had it on 75% for the whole month. I want to walamrt the other day to see the samples. The screen seem imrpoved from when I got mine. I will try to use a autobrightness app
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Thread should now be a discussion thread about the burned in pixels. Guess I made it look like a question. Thanks forum mods for telling me about this problem and moving the thread back!
[Galaxy Tab S General] pnomandk:
I assume this thread is for burned-in and stuck pixel questions/discussion?

If so: I just went to a couple of local stores to test out the Tab S, with an intention to bring one home. I didn't so far -- all devices (4 in 2 different shops) had pretty severe burn-in from the demo programs that Samsung installs and runs on the devices in the store. A couple of them so much that it was actually disturbing for things like browsing plain web pages (white background); you could read the "inverted" text that had burned in.

One store anticipated the device had been on for 10 hours a day since somewhere August last year, which would make it around 10*6*40 or about 2.400 hours of use -- presumably close to max output on the display in "demo mode".

This caused me to hesitate... is this a common problem with the devices, particular to early models, or just something that happens if you run it for too high output -- or will it happen eventually to all devices? A life-time of less than 2.000 hours seems quite low to me in any case.

Also, when/if it happens, are there any ways to "reset" the screen again, or is the damage permanent?

I have a ~2 yr old S4 that does NOT have any burn-in, but I also use that much less, not at 100% brightness and usually with varying content on the screen. I guess the display technology is similar even if the Tab S is a much newer device.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pacc:
I never had burn in problems in any Samsung amoled devices (since S1).

Just made sure box was sealed and auto brightness was always on.

Actually, I personally have a worst experience with LCD with light bleed and other issues.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Yeah, No problems with my 10.5" Wifi , I watch a lot of Animi and always run it fullscreen, so no black bars, also i set brightness to auto -5 when i am using it indoors.

No stuck or dead pixels, fingers crossed. :D

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pnomandk:
[MENTION=1086298]pacc[/MENTION] [MENTION=1884656]tinderbox[/MENTION](UK): That sounds re-assuring. Sounds like it's still safe to go ahead and acquire the device (in my case probably the 32GB WiFi 10.5" edition). Hopefully this is the general experience by most people then.

On the LCD bleeding, then yes, that can be quite annoying too!
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
Just be glad you did not buy the 8.4" version as that is having some problems with the display that might affect some people.

John
[Galaxy Tab S General] pacc:
I have 8.4 version and the screen is in perfect condition.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
You need to use one of the screen test app to check for any problems with the screen before you buy, or the time runs out for you to return the tablet for a refund.

Some people are not bothered, good for them.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] pnomandk:
I'll test it out thoroughly while it can still be returned. Thanks for the heads-up on that issue as well :)
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
If you really want to find every possible quality problem with the display, view a light gray screen in the dark, using a screen test app , set the brightness to low, look for circles and clouding, as well as dead or hot pixels.

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] zombolt:
I have an S4 I bought used and have used for about a year. It is getting heavily burned in. I am questioning how long this display will last. Hopefully by the time I need to replace it the screens will be cheap
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
What was burned-in on your S4 , notification bar?, home screen icons? , were you using an navigator app? , how high did you have you brightness set?

Using an low brightness setting can reduce the change of screen burn-in, but if you live in an sunny country you most likely have the brightness set virtually to max to allow you to see the screen outside.

Thanks

John.
[Galaxy Tab S General] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
I decided to check for stuck pixels on my Tab S again. Turns out, I have 3 stuck ones now! They are really really tiny that I can even notice them. Took me a minute or so to search for them. In order to see them, you have to use a holo background and not full black ones. You would have to find an dark gray image or something like an inverted app but isn't full black which is a good thing for me I guess. The good thing is that they don't appear on bright colors (red,blue,white,etc) which I personally couldn't see it. A holo background or gray image is when I can see it the most. When I put a black image, its fully black with no stuck pixels in sight. So that could mean they still work and turn on and off fine. So I'm thinking it's just stuck when displaying colors other than black.

I've kept my brightness 1/4 bright all the time, only used it for watching videos and browsing the web mostly. It's been one year since I bought this and I personally don't mind it. This is what I've seen so far

Edit: using a screen filter app to darken the screen on an holo image made it show the most so I can see. This lowest stock brightness doesn't seem to show a lot unless you get close to the screen.
[Galaxy Tab S General] Tinderbox (UK):
A couple of weeks ago a guy bought an demo 10.5" and it had an perfect Samsung logo and stripe burned almost across the entire center of the display, the worst i have ever see.

He was asking would burning in the inverted image reduce the burn-in, I found the exact Samsung wallpaper responsible and inverted it for him, but i never heard anymore, it really needed an new screen.
