[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FateDreadnaught:
On the stock ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S4 19505, there was an option to which saved power that was called "Power Saver" that you could find in the quick setting switch bar after rolling down the notification bar. I had recently installed the Pacman 4.4.4 Black Power Edition custom ROM on my S4 (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2400387). I soon found out that I need my battery life extended, if there is any way I can achieve this again with even better power saving that would he fantastic.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
What battery saver did was: Reduce the performance, set the screen brightness lower than possible and reduce background data activity.

You can do all this manually with apps.

Did you check the battery tab? Maybe it has the battery saver feature somewhere.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Without knowing more about what you look for in a smartphone, and what services you already use, it's going to be really hard to make a useful argument.

I mean, practically everybody here uses WP, and many of us have been using it since WP7, and many used WinMo before that. So in general, we're obviously biased in favor of WP. But there's probably all kinds of related things there. For example, we probably haven't dropped a bunch of money on Android or iOS apps, so we don't have that reason to use a different platform. We probably don't rely too heavily on Google services; although some of them work quite well on WP the integration is obviously better on Android. On the other hand, we probably do use OneDrive, OneNote and so on, where the integration is a lot better on WP. We're also more likely to have an Xbox Music pass (what used to be called a Zune Pass), and WP is the only phone OS that can make use of that.

If you care a lot about Xbox Live gaming, then WP is a good choice; it's the only phone platform I know of with XBL support, and there are many games on WP that give XBL achievements and Gamerscore. If you like hacking, it has less malware than Android but is a little more open than iOS, although due to the relatively few people hacking on it progress tends to be slower than on iOS. On the other hand, with relatively few people hacking on it, you can be a big fish in a small pond if you can come up with new hacks or make existing ones work better. Cortana appears to be more powerful (and with better voice recognition) than Siri, and more reliably useful than Google's equivalent. It's easy to get early OS updates if you don't feel like waiting for carriers that drag their feet. WP runs better on low-end phones than Android does, and you can get better battery life out of the same hardware.

Seriously, without more idea of what you're looking for, it's really not going to be easy to tell you. The things that I like about the platform may be completely unrelated to the things you would like.

thanks for you reply

my primary needs in a smartphone are.

1) Camera (i like clicking pictures)

2) Social Networking

3) Gaming

I've used my brothers lumia 520 and found it great. The camera itself was great though its of 5MP.

On the other hand i've also used an android phone and i liked it too playin Clash of Clans all the time

I've not owned a smartphone till now.

And aware of not entering the flagship devices.

I just need a premium midrange phone .

For windows i've opt for L730

and for android the new Moto G 2nd gen.

So what should i do now...

The lumia got that fabula design ahead when compared to moto g

the camera too is great on lumia.

But the moto g has got the things to entertain you when you get bored.

Exploring android is awesome indeed.

You've got CoC when you need to waste time, torrent to download movies.

Dead Trigger to kill zombies

So what should i do?

I like both the device

and my needs are partially separated in bothe the device.

But i just need one to go with.

Give me your help

[Sony Xperia E3] rwilco2:
Hi all!

Ignoring the use of root-only apps, I was wondering how much benefit people get from rooting the xperia e3? In other words, saved space or performance enhancements....Not app accessibility.

I'm especially interested in how much internal storage can be freed up. I'm always running low on internal storage, despite transferring everything possible to the SD card.

I hope this thread is not considered too trivial. I have heard about the benefits of rooting in general but I'm wondering about how well it can fix some specific issues I have with this phone.

I haven't rooted before, as I am not interested in root only apps, but this might be my first root.

Thanks in advance...
[Sony Xperia E3] Exerath:
Mhh By rooting my E3 I could install and play DH4, Summoners war, Brave frontier and respawnables at the same time without deleting data from apk or even uninstall one of them.

I can use customized audio mods, kernel/CPU/GPU tweeks and some other stuff like this

About saved space I got all the crap out of my phone (all google things, all sony bloatware, operator bloatware and so on...

Performance enhancements? By getting down CPU freq. using another governor, I can hear music (with phone speakers, no headset) on my work the full day ( from 7:00 am to 7:00pm for exemple) and being over 40% of battery when I come to home

I believe there are some other benefits there to root your E3 but I just can't remember which or I just don't found yet all other benefits ^^

PS: I hope you understand that all, I learnt english only from gaming, so please be indulgent :)

[Samsung Galaxy Core.] wisewords:
Hello Guys!

Recently i purchased a gamepad without considering the fact that it requires OTG support, actually i didn't know about all this stuff.

I checked galaxy core specification but OTG support was not mentioned anywhere.

So to confirm it i downloaded " USB HOST CHECKER" . This app has an option also to enable OTG support if the device supports OTG but disabled by manufacturer.

The app showed that core has OTG support but it is not enabled, so to enable it i used in-app fix option and it confirmed that support has been enabled and i need to reboot system but nothing worked.

Please Look at the screenshot and

Tell me if there are possibilities to use OTG.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsamrein:
I have an HTC One M8 AT&T unlocked, rooted, ARHD 34 installed.

The other day I used the phone until about 9 AM and when I pulled it out of my pocket the very next time there was no response. I tried Volume Up + Power, Volume Down + Power, and Volume UP +Volume Down + Power no response. Tried all three again with power cord attached and still nothing. finally after about the 20th try with power attached I got a charge light to light for about a full second but then it goes off immediately. This now happens every time I plug it in. sometimes it's a full second of the charge light others it just flashes on then off immediately.

I need some help, because I am not sure what is happening and I don't want to just tear it apart and throw parts at it. I am thinking the battery took a crap on me but I need someone else to confirm my suspicions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rionjhan:
Have you tried using a different charger? You can also check if there is a damage on you charging port.

Try using your charger to a different phone and if it works then there is a problem with your charging port. You may want try plugging in the charger to your M8 and try to move the cable near the port. If it works, then you must charge your phone in a specific position. The best thing to do is call HTC to process RMA.

first of all, it would be quite helpful to know which version of moto g are you using, are you using the dual sim type? if yes, and you just want your moto g up and running, this this guide might be useful.

i've had unsuccessfull downgrade from lollipop to kitkat, probably since the partition is not the same. If the non-locking method doesn't work, you can always try to lock the device again per the instruction on that guide, and this time, with relocking the bootloader, this has saved my skin more than i would like to count.

I personally used the method in the 2nd post. Just be careful, no one's taking responsibility for a bricked phone in the process.

And you might want to flash stock logo.bin before locking bootloader in case locking doesn't help.

I have a towelrooted S5 with a SD card. When I go to Settings/Storage, it says:

Total Space 16GB

Applications 16.69GB

Pictures, videos 12.73MB

Audio 10.48MB

and down from there...

Then, Miscellaneous Files 8.63GB

When I tap Miscellaneous, ProgramData is 2.93GB and the rest doesn't add up to 8.63

At the very bottom it says:

Total Space 29.71GB

Available Space 9.07GB

When I look at "All" applications, the total doesn't seem to be 16.69GB, and a lot of them are on the SD card. Titanium Backup seems to be backing up to the SD card.

Can I clear "ProgramData"?

Can anyone explain how so much of that doesn't add up?

Is my recovery taking up a lot of space? I couldn't really tell in SafeStrap - I don't really understand what all the numbers mean in the ROM slots. I only appear to be using one ROM slot. When I tap Restore from recovery, there is only one package available. At the top is says "Storage: Micro SDcard (9286MB)".

I seem to have about 1GB free on the phone. Any time I want to try a VR video like VRSE.works stuff, I have to uninstall other things to make room. 1GB is not much to work with, but I've cleared out everything I don't feel is necessary.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] drummer10630:
Most telcos will try to charge you $50.00 for a prepaid sim card. Check out your local 7-11 store and look for a sim/phone combo by Speakout (service by Cingular). They are the cheapest I have found...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ScottC:
I have not seen sim-only kits in retail stores, but you could always pick up a cheapy phone and use the sim in that.

That said; no US carrier offers data on their prepaid sims.

You are right about the Virgin phones; they use a non GSM network...

T-mobile is probably the cheapest at the moment. What you can do is pop into a T-mobile store and ask them for a prepaid sim, they can turn any of their own sims into prepaid, and if you add some call credit they'll usually give you the sim for free.

stoo - buy T-Mobile, put $100 to account and you will have 1 year validity for outgoing and incoming phone-calls.

It is not true what ScottC says - T-Mobile will offer you free data - use wap.voicestream.com APN. With no proxy you will have good internet access - speed limited to their EDGE network (around 200 kbps).
