[Nokia Lumia 1020] Lef84:
Hello there.

I am facing a problem which i think is caused from the bt.

Everything works fine (no battery drain, no heat, not lagging, no crashing apps, perfect voice quality etc) EXCEPT when i connect my bt headset(-s).

At first it works fine, make my calls, download emails browse everything. At some point (it could be 5 minutes it could be 5hrs) i am facing disconnections with the connected bt device. The phone may or may not show it is disconnected, it may or may not enable voice through bt (but i cannot hear anything). During the call i can toggle bluetooth and speak through the phone.

Here is the chain of events.

After this it drops the connection with the wifi and the menu stays at Searching mode (i left it in search mode for >5hrs with no luck discovering any wifi). If i disalble wireless or bt or enable/disable airplane mode the menu stays grey forever and with the dots in the upper screen keep coming and coming. Long story short i cannot toggle on/off any connectivity feature (only cellular data works under any circumstances), i have to either turn off and on the phone or soft reset it. I did two hard resets (one of them was clean state) but this behavior hasn't changed.

Also if i have only bt on and connected and i leave it overnight in the morning it shows about 10 - 15% battery and quiet hours are not auto disabled (also tried to turn Cortana Off) BUT if i plug it for FIVE minutes it goes back to 90-95%. and have normal battery consumption during the day.

The only thing i havent tried (and if i do i will do it only for testing reasons) is roll back back to WP8.0.

Am i facing a warranty issue or is it a glitch of the software (i am running Cyan)?
[Nokia Lumia 1020] dariolym:
I got the exact same problem with my own L1020, have been fighting with support to have it fixed, they changed about everything (except the mainboard...) and the problem is still there.

I started to be really angry and got a free Lumia 930 in "replacement"... as I still got the L1020, I tried to put it under W10 preview, and it looks like the problem is really a software issue... with some builds, Bluetooth was working fine, with some the same problem appeared again...

I don't know if you found a solution in the meantime... if you did, I'd like to know what it was, because I like the 1020 better than the 930 (size and camera mostly) and I'd love to have it working with my MS Band ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tombatomba:
Hi, I have tried using the MediaTek SP Flash tool, v5.13.52.200, to root HTC Desire 320, but wasn't successful. I think the problem might be driver related.

I noticed that when i connect the turned-off phone to pc then the VCom preloader driver disappears in a few seconds from the device manager.

I tried rooting also with Framaroot but that wasn't successful either.

Can someone suggest me another way?

Or a way to solve this problem (perhaps there's a more suitable preloader driver for HTC Desire 320 than the one I'm currently using)?

The information of current preloader driver:

"PreLoader USB VCOM Port (COM...)"

Driver Provider: MediaTek Inc.

Driver date: 12/24/2011

Driver version: 2.0.0.0

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avan7:
Hil there.

I tried also various rooting tools, however the one that worked for me was iRoot, and the driver i used was from... Sorry i don't remember the thread i got the program from :(, and i am not on the PC i did the procedure, but this program search for your device drivers automatically. If you have driver issues i will edit and include the program's name later.

By the way, iRoot also offers an apk to root directly from your device, i did not used this method but it's worth a try if you think there is an issue with your drivers.

Hope it works for you as well!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tombatomba:
Thanks Avan7,

iRoot worked.

First I tried with apk version which did not fully root

but then I tried the version that uses USB cable.

(v1.7.9.2, Model library date: 141211)

and it worked.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Baerius:
Hi all

After some time i switched to nexus 5 and my sl is gaining dust..

I want to make it a torrent client, but I need space. as I understand it's impossible for the SL to support otg, so I've started to look for CIFS support ( the ability to mount SMB shares as local, in order to permit torrent apps to write directly on lan disks).

I didn't find anything stable enough ( some kernel with cifs support break the wifi, pretty useless)

It's anyone interested in this thing? I don't know how, but is i understand the only thing to do is to compile a module, CIFS.KO for the kernel in use on a rom,then use a simple app called Mount Manager , or CIFSManager to mount that disk.. so:

Can anyone compile cifs.ko for any rom with 3.0 kernel? I'll use that rom even if it's cm11, 10 ,9 ecc..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
When I tried 5.0 and 5.0.1 ROMs I had severe battery drain problems, so I went back to 4.4.4

I don't have time to waste flashing a ROM which hasn't solved the battery life issue which many (not all, I know, but MANY) people have encountered in Lollipop.

My question is this: NOT referring to your own personal setup, but regarding the N5 community as a whole - is there still a battery life problem prevalent on 5.0.2 ROMs for lots of people?

A simple yes or no will suffice. Thank you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
No. There never has been even on the L preview releases

Also there is no 5.0.2 for our device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
Yes, there are definitely battery drain issues. I am not too sure it's related to the ROMs themselves but rather the radio. I have tried all Lollipop radios with a very basic set up on both stock ROMs and Cyanogenmod. At some point, I will get idle drain in the region of 2-4% an hour - way higher than I would expect.

There are no wake-locks - the device seems to sleep well - it's just idle drain is horrible. Go back to the radio from 4.4.2 and the drain ceases.

If one more person points to the Battery Life Q&A thread I might swear.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naien:
is it possible to use that radio with 5.0.1/2?

also:

fastboot flash radio radio.img is the right way to flash this, right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
Yes, I've not had any compatibility issues with any radio/ROM combo thus far. You can grab the radio image from the within stock factory images here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images or go straight to the radio (in both img and flashable zip format) here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/Nexus_5/Modems

For ref, KOT49E is the one I use. Technically this is 4.4.1 but 4.4.2 shared the same one.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben36:
The KRT16M the 4.4.2? If so i have a flashable zip if you want it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Radios are device-specific and rom-agnostic. You can flash any N5 radio with any rom.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3al:
Is it confirmed that the battery life using the old radio is better?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
There is no confirmation.

There are too many variables, the biggest being location....

What's better for one can be completely different for another.

Test several for your usage and location. You may also find little or no difference as well

If you are still getting 'drain', narrow down the issue by logic: work out what is actually using the battery, they don't drain by themselves. Apply this thinking to any device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3al:
I believe my issue is poor signal at home on my desk causing battery drain overnight. By flashing an older version of radio will this improve my battery life in anyway?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
There is no such "drain" in Lollipop. People just have wakelock issues with their own setup, the same as on KK or any version of Android. They simply put the blame on Lollipop and say there is nothing wrong with their wakelock issues.

[Battery Life Help] Troubleshoot battery issues here!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
It's a little narrow-minded to rule out all issues based on personal experience. My device, with current set up, sleeps like a baby. I don't use location services nor social apps like Facebook. My signal strength is fine.

On a Lollipop radio, idle drain after 1 or 2 days uptime will increase to around 4% an hour. On the radio from 4.4.2, my uptime can be a week or two and idle remains at about 1% an hour, everything else being equal.

Radios don't cause wakelocks, enable location services or install Facebook.

I do agree with one thing though - it's not Lollipop itself causing the battery issues. Some problem is deeper than that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Radio's are an entire different story.

Different ones work better for different people.

Nor are they Android version related - there is no "Lollipop radio", its just a radio version that will work with any version of Android, and was the latest one so it was packaged with the latest factory images. Again, nothing to do with Lollipop :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealjam:
Cool. That's why I said "it's not Lollipop itself causing the battery issues".
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Lethargy I disagree mainly because there are a few bugs in Lollipop that need work to make it a bit more stable. They have pushed the fixes into AOSP for the ones that have been found but it seems like custom ROMs on Lollipop or a majorly tweaked stock ROM do better.

A lot of it too I think is how poor Google Play Services is with battery. I feel like I have to jump through hoops just to get Google Play Services to behave.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
What bugs are there in Lollipop that affect battery life? Enlighten me.

And what does Google Play Services specifically have to do with Lollipop?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
The RAM leak bug: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729

It causes app restarts and extra CPU churn.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
This is the only reason I've decided to go back to 4.4.4 as I'm writing this. I seriously have to reboot phone 5 plus times a day. Ashley every time I get into car and maps loads this is like a instant trigger. Maybe I have to many background tasks idk, but it didn't happen on kk...

Description

The planet of the Triangles has been invaded by the power-hungry Cube Empire. Giant block towers have dug deep into the ground to strip the planet of all its resources. As the only Triangle soldier left standing, you are the planet's last hope for survival. If you can climb a block tower, avoid hazards, collect pickups, and make it to the top, the planet might just stand a chance.

FRANTIC GAMEPLAY

Your reflexes will be tested as you blaze through a deadly obstacle course. Spin blocks around to move hazards out of your way and clear the path to the next block. Which will be equally deadly.

EMPOWERING POWERUPS

To even the odds, you'll receive a steady supply of powerups. Restore your health, boost your speed, or get a shield. And keep climbing!

DYNAMIC MUSIC

An unrelenting dubstep score keeps you pumped and focused. The intensity changes to match your progress. As you become more awesome, so does the music.

WOW THAT SCORE IS HIGH

In the world of Triangles, the high scorer is king. Attack your friends' scores, or indeed the world's. Climb the tower of blocks to climb the leaderboards.

SELF-IMPROVEMENT

Earn coins as you play and use them to purchase upgrades. Improve your capabilities and increase your chances of survival.

YOU AGAINST THE (randomly generated) WORLD

The tower of blocks is created by random generation, resulting in different combinations of hazards every time you play. Memorization won't help you here.

Have Fun

Cheers

[Android Apps and Games] Entangled Multiverse:
Awesome first game! It's challenging, has quite some variation and graphics is great!!
[Android Apps and Games] Beenrak:
Just gave it a try- a few things I noticed:

I personally don't use Google Play Services-- if you hit cancel in your game it asks again (meaning it asks exactly twice, this doesn't repeat forever).

When playing through the first round (tutorial) I reached the point where it was describing orbs-- in order to advance the tutorial I needed to click the screen, but my current path was optimal. By click I put myself on a path to collide with an obstacle which in this case killed me (having already hit a few things).

Game seems fun otherwise, I'll give it a few more rounds and post if anything if I notice it.

Congrats on the game!
[Android Apps and Games] MacleStudios:
Hey thank you for the review. Even i notice the google play services problem working on fixing that and going to fix the tutorial as well.

Has anyone bought the aluminium bumper case?
[YotaPhone] Rrreutel:
I Bought an aluminium one on eBay. Short review and some pics:

- fit is OK, no slack

- finish looks OK, mine is matte black

- protrudes a bit to the front and the back (so the device does not lie on the glass when put down on a perfectly flat surface)

- edges are quite sharp, might leave marks on the case in due time. bumper has some soft tape on the inside, but that doesn't cover the sharp edges. The hole in the bottom for USB and microphone has these sharp edges too, not comfortable as I usually support the phone with my pinky there.

- adds about 2mm in width and 3mm in length to the phone. (7.2 x 14.8 cm with bumper, 7 x 14.5 cm without). Not too bad, but you can feel the difference initially.

- buttons can be operated OK, although power button does not stick out that much.

- small clasp in the corner

All in all not bad for a couple of dollars. I don't own the bumper as sold by Yota Devices, so I can't compare it.

Hopefully it will absorb some impact when falling on the floor too, but I will leave that part to someone else to review. :eek:

edit 1: some additions after 2 weeks of use:

- There seems to be some impact on reception. In an area with low signal strength, the bumper seems to cause the connection to become unstable/drop. Removing the bumper restores the connection. In good reception areas it's harder to note the impact.

- The sharp edges at the bottom are annoying me, I'll have to smooth them out, or lose the bumper.

- No scratches (yet) on the phone though from the bumper

edit 2: Don't know how I missed this earlier, but GPS reception is heavily impacted by this bumper

I went for a run yesterday, and my Endomondo app could not get a good lock. The map only showed approximate location, but it wouldn't start recording my run based on that. After 15 minutes still no lock, until I thought of the bumper. Removed it, and got a solid lock after 3 seconds...
[YotaPhone] adamo86:
Will the phone get scratches after use. Or r the ruff edges away from The device
[YotaPhone] Rrreutel:
I've only received it today, so can't comment on long-term use, but the sharp edges are on the inside as well. The little review above is mainly positive in the price/value department, the Yota Devices bumper might be higher quality.

Someone care to review the Yota bumper here?
[YotaPhone] adamo86:
I have a bumper case which came with the device but I don't know if it's from yotaphone. The bumper feels like silicone to me may be it's gel. I prefer gel cases. It feels flimsy.

I have the rubber bumper from yota itself, nice thing.

[YotaPhone] Rrreutel:
Yota Bumper

My "official" Yota Phone bumper arrived, here's a short review:

Material:

Not sure what the material is called, but it's like a matte rubber, but less flexible than rubber, thougher. It's somewhat grippy, but not too much. Doesn't feel like gel or silicone to me.

Dimensions:

It adds 2 mm in width, and 3 mm in length to the phone (just like the aluminium one). It fits nicely, altough the sides are slightly 'floppy', you can stretch it away from the phone easily. I can imagine that only getting slighty worse, not better over time.

features:

The bumper does not have 'real' plastic or metal buttons, buttons are just molded into the rubber. The back side has a thicker rim than the front.

Comparison with the aluminium one:

I have to say the cheap aluminium case looks slightly more classy to me, a bit more svelte, with nice paint & real buttons. It does have a small buckle, which some may find distracting.

The rubbery Yota one looks a bit more ordinary, less luxurious, to my taste. However the aluminium one does have practical drawbacks: sharp edges (especially annoying on the bottom opening), impact on reception (both mobile and particularly GPS, see below), and it might scratch the device at some time, although I haven't seen that in a few weeks of use.

The metal one takes a bit more care to put on, to prevent scratches, the rubber Yota one slips on in a second.

BTW: I updated the aluminium bumper review to mention poor GPS reception

It's sold in other countries too (I purchased mine from the French Yotaphone website), but this will be of limited benefit to you until they add Canada/USA to the list... (on a side note, anyone knows when the North America Indigogo campaign ends, and when the phone will be officially launched there?)

If you want, I have a trip planned to Canada in late August, I can certainly purchase one and either hand it to you if you live close to Montreal, or post it from there using local post services if you're too far away (Canada is definitely a biiig country).

Let me know if you're interested.
[YotaPhone] scdoyle:
The latest update received on the North American Indiegogo campaign still said shipping "in August". I know because I ordered the wireless charger through that.

Thank you very much for your kind offer of procuring a bumper for me. It would need to be mailed in Canada as I am in Alberta which, as you say, is a looong way away from Montreal! I think given the timing I should hopefully be able to order one directly in North America by late August, but thank you again for offering. Besides, I am now tempted by one of those leather cases linked in the post above!
[YotaPhone] euroclie:
Hopefully you won't have too much to wait now, as August is getting close...

I know how it feels to wait for something released first on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, as it's usually the other way round for high tech stuff, with the Old Continent eagerly awaiting a local release! ;)
